FLASHBACK SPRINGFIELD — March 1950
A long, bitter strike by union miners stopped coal production
cold in the middle of a brutal winter
'Everybody seems to be suffering'
By Rich Saal – Photography Editor
There was joy at last when John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, signed a contract on behalf of 370,000 striking coal miners nationwide, ending a month-long strike on March 5, 1950.
It had come during an especially cold winter, and its end was a relief to those who had been shivering in unheated buildings and to a nation anxious about its impact on the economy.
The settlement instantly sent 17,000 UMWA members in Springfield and the surrounding area back to work.
Within hours after digging resumed, lights were turned back on in communities across the state, idled factories began to hum and school buildings were heated.
During the stike, stockpiles of coal were depleted and the situation had turned into a crisis.
Steel mills and other major industrial coal consumers cut manufacturing capacity by nearly 50 percent, causing thousands of layoffs and a trickle-down effect into other industries.
Caterpillar Tractor Co. in Peoria told its 15,000 employees to work only three days a week. Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp. in Gary, Ind., announced it would share its dwindling coal supply with community residents who were in dire need of fuel to heat their homes.
The state colleges at DeKalb, Macomb, Charleston and Normal were closed for nearly three weeks, and their supplies of coal were diverted to prisons and state mental hospitals.
Locally, the Allis-Chalmers plant cut production by nearly half, and the Pillsbury plant also cut its workweek. Theater marquees were dimmed; outdoor advertising and street lighting were turned off.
Even retail stores were asked to use only the minimum lighting required to remain open.
On Friday, Feb. 24, the city superintendent of schools announced that all public schools would close until the strike ended and coal supplies could be restocked.
For many who lacked fuel to heat their homes, the situation was becoming dangerous. Stories about hardship cases and generous neighbors were plentiful.
"We could use
several more power
saws," Streets Commissioner
Hoke Lock told the
Journal. "The people are
here catching the wood
as it falls from the saw.
Mildred Ray, a widow who lived at 900 Wirt Ave. with her three young children, received several bushels of coal from people she didn't know after The Illinois State Journal reported on her plight. She told the paper she heated her six-room house with coal stoves but had run out three days earlier.
"Maybe the miners have to strike," she said. "I wouldn't know about it. But everybody seems to be suffering."
Children as young as 7 were seen scouring railroad tracks for pieces of coal that had been dropped by passing trains.
On Feb. 26, with low temperatures in the single digits, every available city employee from all departments was told to help cut wood. The city had piled dead trees and downed branches from the previous summer in an empty lot at First Street and Lenox Avenue. Hundreds of trucks and cars lined up to haul away stove-size pieces.
"We could use several more power saws," Streets Commissioner Hoke Lock told the Journal. "The people are here catching the wood as it falls from the saw.
"Many people are very discouraged when they come (to the lot)," Lock said. "Some have been hunting or waiting for coal for days. They haul the wood away in everything. One man even took a taxi out here and took all the cab would hold. If anyone wants to see how serious the coal situation is getting, let him come out here."
In the newspaper, merchants advertised "no coal worries" with fuel oil heaters. Fifty gallons of free oil was offered with each purchase.
The one bright spot in it all: The Illinois High School Association announced that basketball tournament games would continue as scheduled; they would just be played in unheated gymnasiums.
As a result of the strike, miners gained an average $1.40 per day increase in wages and an unusually long contract term of 28 months, which brought welcome stability to the industry.
"The United Mine Workers have emerged from this struggle with additional bread and butter for their families, with additional life and death benefits for their ailing, with their union intact, with their membership unimpaired and with all labor benefited by the discrediting of the Taft-Hartley abomination," Lewis declared.
The Taft-Hartley Act, enacted in 1947, gave the federal government the power to restrict the activities and influence of labor unions.
Lewis had always fought aggressively against mine operators to improve pay and working conditions for UMWA miners.
According to Coal Age magazine, in 1949 alone he called his miners out for two weeks in March, a week in June and for more than seven weeks from September into November. For two months, he put miners on a three-day week. And then, in early February 1950, he declared a nationwide strike.
The inconsistency of coal production, however, and the post-war growth of natural gas and other fuel options, meant King Coal began to lose market share.
In central Illinois, the celebration over a new contract and resumption of work would be short lived.
Sangamon County coal production, which had peaked in the 1920s at nearly 7 million tons annually, produced just a few hundred thousand tons in 1950. In 1952, about the time the UMWA's hard-fought contract expired, the county's last major shipping mine, Panther Creek No. 5 at 11th Street and Ridgely Avenue, closed.
Just five years ago, three mines employing 700 UMWA members operated in Macoupin County. In December, the last union mine in Illinois, Crown III near Farmersville closed.

CHICAGO — A 14-year-old Chicago boy is recovering after he was shot in the back outside a high school on the city's southwest side.
The boy was shot just before 8 p.m. Thursday outside the Sarah E. Goode STEM Academy. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
Chicago Police say Friday that no one's been arrested in the case and they aren't sure if the teenager was a student at the school.
Investigators say they believe the shooting took place after an argument about gang affiliations.

Gastroenterology EMR Software
Buyer's Guide
Differing functionalities and requirements of gastroenterologists means searching extensively for that one solution among the hundreds of options in the market. Medical practices need specialty-specific features to fulfill patient requirements and meet business needs. This buyer s guide intends to help potential users select the right EMR solution for their gastroenterology practice.
Here's what this guide will cover:
What Is Gastroenterology EMR Software?
Core features for physicians include billing, inventory management and patient scheduling. A quality EMR can integrate all of these features, improving patient attendance and retention and increasing the speed and accuracy of the billing process. However, gastroenterologists should also look for an EMR that can support their specific needs as a medical specialist.
These EMRs offer gastroenterology-specific templates, workflows and support for accurate billing, coding and reporting. They help gastroenterologists automate and streamline manual tasks so that they can focus on the important things, that is, increasing patient satisfaction. Medical staff can also serve patients better by reducing overhead activities.
As a buyer, it s important for you to assess EMR systems for the following criteria:
Gastroenterology workflow management
A gastroenterologist s EMR workflow should fit the way a GI physician practices medicine. One visit may call for a symptom-based approach abdominal pain or dysphagia another may call for a condition-based approach diverticulitis or Crohn s disease. What s important is that the workflow supports treatment and improves the patient and physician s experience.
Customized gastroenterology templates
Dozens of customized templates make charting quicker and easier. These templates cover every aspect of a gastroenterologist s practice, including upper and lower endoscopy procedures, cholecystitis, constipation, diarrhoea, dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflux, gallbladder, hematuria, UTI, ED, hepatitis, Crohn s Disease, incontinence, nausea and more.
Gastroenterology ICD9 and CPT coding and billing
Your EMR should integrate seamlessly with your workflow and your billing practice to support you in coding and billing. The benefit of a GI-specific EMR is that it provides the support needed for conditions a gastroenterologist might encounter, but without thousands of unneeded, unrelated codes; this makes billing quicker, easier and more accurate.
PQRS Incentive Reporting
Earn a 1 percent bonus on Medicare billing, simply by reporting on your endoscopy and colorectal cancer screening and treatment, consistent with the Physician Quality and Reporting System (formerly PQRI). A good EMR solution can integrate this and other reporting automatically.
Endoscopy image management
A critical piece of a gastroenterologist s practice, a GI-specific EMR should be able to store endoscopy images for current and later use and support the interpretation of those images within the physician s workflow process.
Important Considerations While Buying EMR Software
With advancements in medical technology, here are some factors you should consider when you re looking for any EMR software:
Software as a Service (SaaS). Roughly 25 percent of buyers we speak with are interested primarily in cloud-based gastroenterology software, while another 50 percent are open to the model during the early stages of their research. The reasons are many:
- SaaS-based systems are available on a subscription basis, meaning lower upfront costs
- Cloud-based systems are perceived as easier to use
- Features, such as new patient import, prescription management and cloud-based appointment booking, help gastroenterology practices boost efficiency
The growing demand for cloud-based EHR systems is driving vendor innovation in SaaS technology. For example, gMed has a gastroenterology product (gGastro) that allows users to access gMed s proprietary patient portal. The gMed portal allows patients to securely register information, request appointments, update records and send messages. Not only does this minimize double entry and tedious transcriptions for the staff, but it also allows patients to interact with their doctors anywhere there s internet access.
Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH). As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, signed into law by President Obama in 2009, HITECH requires health care professionals to adopt cloud-based EHR systems. About $19 billion was allotted to incentivize early adoption, with guidelines set forth for demonstrating meaningful use.
Doctors are eligible for up to $44,000 in increased Medicare and Medicaid premiums, but only for those using ONC-ATCB-certified EHR systems (i.e. systems certified by Office of the National Coordinator – Authorized Testing and Certification Body). Buyers selecting a gastroenterology EMR should keep this in mind, as it s an easy way to distinguish one product from another.
Mobile technology support. Riding on the wave of the widespread adoption of cloud-based software, many gastroenterology practices are beginning to depend heavily on mobile technology. Mobile device access enables gastroenterologists to reschedule appointments, prioritize urgent cases and review a patient s medical history from anywhere. Even across the board, medical professionals are increasingly using smartphones and tablets to access work-related data.
As such, vendors are rolling out mobile versions of their products, with portals for doctors, their staff and their patients. Some vendors are even developing native apps for various mobile operating systems (e.g. iOS, Android and Windows), to give doctors and their staff access to key functionalities via these devices.
Market Trends to Understand
The medical software market is evolving with the latest development from software vendors that are being driven by patients needs and wants. Here are the primary trends in the gastroenterology EMR software market:
Patient portals for ease of treatment: With patient portals, fixing appointments and making credit card transactions becomes quick and easy for patients. They can look for a suitable time to visit their doctor and schedule their slots. Also, advanced solutions allow patients to view and download their lab reports and medical history. E-prescription is another common functionality that patients prefer nowadays. Gastroenterologists prefer EMR solutions with patient portals as it increases patient satisfaction levels and prevents any legal complications due to human error.
Interactive reports for better service: EMR solutions not only help in reducing manual tasks, but also assist in reviewing business performance with the use of dashboards and reports. Using interactive reports, gastroenterologists can review patient satisfaction levels, analyze disease patterns and make fact-based decisions. Advanced EMR systems also offer predictive analytics capabilities that help in collecting, mining and analyzing data.
Big data and its important role: Big data will play a huge part in patient service over the next couple of years. Analysis of big data databases will help practitioners identify risk factors and allergy triggers. Software vendors are planning to tap this market by offering big-data-compatible advanced analytics platforms.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) re-introduced a bill on Tuesday to improve the nation's system for auditing Medicare in an effort to reduce soaring healthcare costs.
The Medicare Audit Improvement Act, which Schiff introduced along with Rep. Sam Graves (R-MO), would amend the Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 to fix problems that have since arisen with the execution of the law.
The bill, which was first introduced in October of last year, would attempt to lessen the administrative burden the audit process places on hospitals by putting a cap on the amount of document requests auditors can make.
Schiff said in a statement that the new bill would help strengthen the fiscal integrity of Medicare.
"This bill addresses critical operational problems in the Recovery Audit Contractor program, which directly contribute to the skyrocketing cost of healthcare," Schiff said. "Ensuring the accuracy of audits allows us to continue to recoup improper Medicare payments fairly and efficiently."

LONDON (Reuters) - McLaren will show off their 2014 Formula One car, the MP4-29, in an online-only digital launch on January 24, the team said on Tuesday.
The decision follows a recent trend in the sport of virtual launches, partly to cut costs but also to minimize disruption at a time when all the factory is working flat out to be ready for the new season.
This year sees major rule changes, with a new V6 turbocharged engine and energy recovery systems replacing the old V8, and teams have considerable technical challenges to overcome.
The first of three pre-season tests will start in Jerez, southern Spain, on January 28 with the first race in Australia on March 16.
McLaren marked the 50th anniversary of their founding by New Zealander Bruce McLaren last year but had little else to celebrate.
The Woking-based team went through the entire championship without a single podium finish, their worst performance since 1980.
Since then, Mexican Sergio Perez has left and been replaced alongside 2009 world champion Jenson Button by 21-year-old Danish rookie Kevin Magnussen.
McLaren are also due to announce a new title sponsor in place of mobile phone company Vodafone.

Bestlite has been in continuous production since 1930. Winston Churchill is numbered amongst its many famous users.
The Bestlite design was conceived by Robert Dudley Best who was highly influenced by the Bauhaus. Bauhaus was a school in Germany that merged practical crafts with the fine arts and became famous for the design concept that it publicized and taught. Bauhaus had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design and industrial design and Bauhaus style became one of the most influential forces behind Modernist architecture and modern design. Eighty years on, the Bestlite design stays close to its industrial roots and true to its original design. Bestlite is held in permanent collections at both the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Design Museum in London. Loved by architects, designers and design aficionados throught its 80-year history, today, Bestlite enjoys global iconic status.
Robert Dudley Best
Robert Dudley Best (1892-1984) was heir to the world's largest lighting factory, founded in Birmingham in 1840. Despite its proud history, Best felt that the lamp designs produced by the factory were outdated. In 1925, Best visited the International Exhibition of Modern Design in Paris, where many of the designs exhibited were influenced by the work of Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe.
Inspired by what he had seen, Best began his studies of industrial design in Paris and Düsseldorf, where he became close friends with Walter Gropius, the founder of the Bauhaus movement. It was during this time that he made the first sketches of what would become the iconic Bestlite design.
At Gubi, we're on a continual quest. A journey. Fuelled by our passion to discover overlooked icons from the past and future icons in the making, we've made a distinctive name for ourselves in the international design arena as a dynamic design force to be reckoned with.

Katherine Heigl: 'I am not difficult to work with'
Actress KATHERINE HEIGL has dismissed rumours she is hard to work with on set.
The Knocked Up star was the target of a feature by The Hollywood Reporter last year (13) suggesting she and her producer/manager mother Nancy Heigl are "difficult" to work with.
The actress was promoting her new show State of Affairs at the Television Critics Association press tour on Sunday (13Jul14) when she was asked about the allegation, and she insisted she is not unpleasant to her co-stars and crew.
Heigl says, "I certainly don't see myself as being difficult; I would never intend to be difficult. I don't think my mother sees herself as being difficult.
"It's always important to everybody to conduct themselves professionally and respectfully and kindly so if I have ever disappointed somebody, it was never intentional."

So you've been wanting to slim down. Has it come to the point where you're saying, "It's no longer an option. This weight has to go"? If so, you're on the right track; making the commitment is the first step. Here's the second: a simple, sensible exercise and eating plan. Follow our program and drop those pounds in 90 days.
Month One: The Starting Line
Goal: lose seven pounds
Time: three 40-minute sessions per week
Status report: This month you'll begin to burn calories, boost your metabolism, and see inspiring results!
Cardio: Start with 20 minutes of heart-pumping movement — go for a brisk walk, take a bike ride, jog, etc.
Target heart rate: 120 to 140 beats per minute. To determine, place your index finger on the artery between your collarbone and jawline. Count beats for one minute.
Strength/resistance: Next, perform these exercises. Start with a weight that's heavy enough so you "fail" by the 10th rep (meaning your muscles are too tired to do another), counting to three when bringing the weights up and again when bringing them down.
Reps: one set of 10
Month Two: The 50-Yard Line
Goal: lose seven pounds
Time: four 65-minute sessions per week
Status report: I'm positive that you already can see and feel the difference. Just don't get tempted into "treating" yourself for your progress. The best is yet to come.
Cardio: 25 minutes, with increased intensity (on a machine, increase the incline or the resistance; if you're outside, cover more terrain in less time).
Target heart rate: 130 to 145 beats per minute
Strength/resistance: Repeat the program from last month but push harder. To ensure "failure," use heavier weights (go from five-pound weights to eight). You can also intensify the workout by slowing your speed from a three count to a four count.
Reps: two sets of 10
Month Three: The Home Stretch
Goal: lose six pounds
Time: five 90-minute sessions per week
Status report: Either you've followed the plan to the letter and are looking good, or you've got some serious catching up to do. Here is your final assignment.
Cardio: 30 minutes, high intensity
Target heart rate: 130 to 150 beats per minute
Strength/resistance: Repeat the exercises, upping the weights slightly. Just remember: fail, fail, fail.
Reps: three sets of 10
- Standing Biceps Curl
- Step-up
- Modified Push-up
- Shoulder Press Lunge
- Back Row in a Partial Squat
- Squat with Lateral Raise
Contact your physician before beginning any diet or fitness program.

The Count Me In Too Wish Tree
From 2009 until the end of the project Count Me In Too introduced the Wish Tree to its dissemination and consultation events.
Conceived of as a means of capturing the ephemeral hopes, dreams and desires of our audiences, the Wish Tree represents a different kind of community and user feedback. While the project has painstakingly captured, recorded, analysed and disseminated the experiences of LGBT people in Brighton & Hove, the researchers also recognise that sometimes our hopes, dreams and desires cannot be fully articulated by a survey or in a focus group.
Being a project grounded in evidence-based research that sought to support positive concrete social change, Count Me In Too focussed on asking themed questions that would help services and support groups provide a better service for LGBT people. However, the project team recognised that asking questions doesn't necessarily capture dreams and aspirations of change in their entirety. Sometimes we have wishes that need to be captured, recorded and acknowledged in other ways. These wishes may be small, they may be individual or they may be abstract. Count Me In Too's data may well not be able to help these wishes come true in their entirety but we still felt it was important to recognise these wishes and give them a voice.
Over the 2-year period in which we employed the Wish Tree as a form of feedback at exhibitions and publicity events, we have had in excess of 500 responses ranging from the political ("an end to BiPhobia") to the emotional ("I wish they'd love me like I love them") to the intensely personal ("I wish we could be a family again"). We'd like to thank everyone who placed a wish on the Wish Tree and shared their hopes, dreams or aspirations with us.
The video below, created by Peter Harte, is a creative interpretation of these wishes and reflects the 'wishfulness' of this feedback. It takes us into a magical world where making a wish, holding on to it, and keeping it close has immense power. It balances the statistical data collected by Count Me In Too and represents the 'affective' remainder that we carry with us - those parts of us that are ephemeral and ghostly, but which are just as important to our identities.
We hope that you like the Wish Tree video.

Plug, Possible Anti-PRISM Storage Device
Subject description: Hardware and software that cooperate to give you local storgate encrypted
Guys I am a noob so explain what it is about. I read and read
but feel unsure what it really is. Most likely it is for windows
because they never mention any OS?
But it allow you to share files with all usb compatible devices.
so a hardware that act as a cloud with help of software?
Kickstarter maybe know more
or the guys own site?
So have fun getting what it is about. I trust the NSA will force them to give key to the encryption algorithm.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

We can already read media files directly from a thumb drive via a $2 connector and free software (Nexus 7) or simm card.
I wouldn't trust any 3rd party encryption service. The government could order a way to collect the data prior to encryption, and not tell you about it. The safest encryption is done at the user's end.
For file sharing, the plug device doesn't give you any file selection option for your devices (it does on a pc). Thus, all your files now get sent to a USB drive, which notoriously corrupt. They're also all now on the internet.
You can load an ftp server app on your device for free that turns it into a server with a click. Then you simply connect to it from any computer. Dropbox sharing is even simpler. If I was concerned about PRISM, I'd certainly encrypt anything I put on the internet first myself. I'd also put as little on the internet as possible.

Is there any system of encryption that cannot be decrypted?
Remember the WW2 German
machine that the Germans thought [with good reason] to be impossible to decrypt.
And yet the British, with help from the Poles, and French methinks, were able to to decrypt communications so encrypted.

That legislation like RIPA was necessary suggests to me that encryption exists which is uncrackable by UK government agencies: if all encryption had a backdoor the
legislation would be unnecessary ...
All passwords can be cracked by
brute force
, but if the password is sufficiently long and random it would take an unfeasibly long time ...

Long story short : While refreshing my memories about Enigma
- which I thought was cracked by the capture of U505 - until today
- but that was 4th of June 1944 - two days before D-Day ,
I found this on wikipedia :
Operation Fish was the World War II evacuation of British wealth from the UK to Canada. It was the biggest movement of wealth in history.[1]

Two thought regarding why they might do this even if it is not strictly necessary:
1. They need to make people [other national intelligence services?] think/believe that there are in existence methods of encryption that they are unable to decrypt.
2. It's also easier to be given the decryption code than expend valuable resources on decryption, which would counter-productively prove that it can be done.

Maybe yes, maybe no.
The FBI has certain capabilities, and there may be certain of those capabilities that they like to keep secret.
Then, neither the FBI nor the courts are at the top of the hierarchy.
I'm sure there are other organisations [further up the hierarchy] that have greater capabilities than both of those.
And organisations higher up keep secret from organisations lower down, certain key knowledge and techniques.
See for example
deception operations
[in this case from WW2]...
Operation Fortitude
Where it is VITAL that even your own side is deceived.
Sometimes they even arrange for large numbers of their own to be killed/sacrificed to make good the deception.

Regarding Enigma coding, this goes for all encoding/cypher systems.
You can have a very robust encryption method but the weakness in all these processes is the human element. (Typically users will either write down the encryption cypher settings, choose a easy cypher key, or repeatedly request the key..)
One of the reasons that the army enigma codes were so easy to crack compared to say the naval ones or T52 was that operators were lazy and failed to randomize the encryption seed properly at the start of the day so it was possible to guess what the code wheels were set to by the bofins at Bletchley park.
If your seed is bad, then its going to make cracking the cypher much easier.
Sometimes the encryption algorithm is just plan bad, (Japanese suffered from this.) but today encryption technology is at such a level that as has been already stated its very hard to brute force a encrypted data set unless your time to do the job is near infinite.
Governments might tell you that they have a back door to the state of the art encryption algos but thats a lie, if they did then nobody would be paranoid about releasing the state of the art encryption algos, or spending time with supercomputers cracking data sets (and even then you can only really do that with civilian grade algo's.)
example the first person to break public key encryption will be very rich, well consider how much of the modern world depends on this algorithm being impossible to crack.. banks, governments, ect.. business as we know it would ground to a halt if it were possible to crack the RSA encryption methods.
Probably its one of the main reason why there is such huge interest in prime number theory.

MSI Z87I Gaming AC
Tiny motherboard - Full of features!
Published: 6th December 2013 | Source: RushKit |
Introduction - FULL REVIEW NOW AVAILABLE HERE
ITX PCs are rapidly becoming more and more popular, as consumers are no longer limited in terms of hardware by opting for a smaller size. A few years ago, going with an ITX PC meant you were limited to Intel Atom processors, and although they were great for streaming and media purposes, they lacked any ability to game.
Since Intel's P67 chipset (although ITX P67 motherboards were very rare then), the ITX market has grown at a rapid rate, and by the Z77 line last year, we had overclocking friendly motherboards, able to support anything up to and i7, with ultra fast RAM and the most powerful of graphics cards available. The rapid expansion in ITX motherboards has been aided by spacious mini cases such as the Bitfenix Prodigy.
Intel's Z77 range saw multiple overclocking friendly motherboards, such as the Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe, The Gigabyte GA-Z77N, and the MSI Z77IA-E53. These boards significantly changed the small form-factor market and enabled users to build high end, mini systems at a reasonable cost too!
Now the Z87 line is upon us, and all of the Z77 boards now have their updated models to support the new 1150 socket. Today we're looking at one of MSI's versions; the MSI Z87I Gaming AC.

We really like the direction the ITX market is heading at the moment, and it's great to see the three major motherboard manufacturers (MSI, Asus and Gigabyte) all competing to deliver high end ITX boards. Not only is it good to now have a the option for a high powered small system, but to have a nice range of choices within that is superb, and we're sure it will only get better in the future!
The MSI Z87I Gaming AC is a great looking board. The PCB itself is matte black with the red 'dragon' branding as we've become accustomed to with MSI's gaming series. The designing is very sleek, and coupled with black RAM and an MSI Gaming Series graphics card, you'll have an awesome looking red and black system.
Not only does the Z87I Gaming AC look great, but it's also packed with features. It has a dedicated Killer E2205 network chip which helps to deliver lag-less gaming. This is a great thing to see on ITX boards, as a lot of users will be taking their compact systems to LAN events, where the Killer NIC should really show its colours.
The Z87I Gaming also comes with a dedicated audio chip. This is a great thing to see on ITX boards since if you're planning on having a graphics card installed, then the chances are you aren't going to have enough room for a dedicated sound card. This means you'll be able to get a good quality audio solution without having to worry about purchasing an additional card.
MSI have also put an 8pin CPU power connector on their Gaming board, as opposed to the standard Z87I which only has a 4pin connector. This means you should be able to overclock and attain a little more performance from your system. Although due to the parametres of the VRMs on the small size board you shouldn't be expecting much, it still does make this a good addition over competing boards as you may be able to achieve slightly higher performance from the Z87I Gaming AC.
The Z87I Gaming AC looks really promising overall. MSI have packed it with features, and if it's anything like the rest of the Gaming range, which we are hoping it is, the price should be more than reasonable too!
Thank you to MSI for providing the motherboard. You can discuss your thoughts over on the OC3D forums.

Gold Coast captain Gary Ablett's inconclusive scans delay diagnosis
UPDATE: Gold Coast is still unsure how long it will be without injured star Gary Ablett, with the Suns to seek further specialist opinion on his damaged shoulder in the next two days.
The Suns had hoped to make a decision today on how many games the Brownlow Medal favourite was likely to miss, or whether he would undergo season-ending surgery seven weeks out from the finals.
But after Ablett underwent scans on Monday morning the club said it required more time to make an accurate diagnosis and determine the most appropriate treatment.
"We are still in the early stages of diagnosing the injury," said Suns football operations manager Marcus Ashcroft.
"Over the next 24 to 48 hours our medical staff will engage specialists who will work with them to ensure the full extent of the injury is established and the most appropriate form of treatment is provided."
Medical experts on Sunday suggested Ablett should miss at least three weeks to ensure the shoulder he dislocated against Collingwood on Saturday has sufficient time to heal.
Peter Brukner said it would be best if the dual Brownlow medallist took five to six weeks to recover, but three weeks should be the minimum.
"It will be about getting the balance right," he said. "Do you keep him off the squad for longer to give him the best chance to heal, or do you risk it and get him back quicker?"
"Five weeks or so could be enough to get the shoulder strong enough to withstand the pressures of the AFL. But most clubs and athletes' natural instinct is to take the risk, but they may take a longer-term approach."
The Suns are eighth on the ladder and on their way to a first finals appearance.
Ablett was injured in the third quarter when tackled by Collingwood's Brent Macaffer. He will have scans on Monday to determine the extent of the injury.
Ablett, 30 still has plenty of good football years ahead of him and Brukner thinks it would be wise to allow Ablett as much time as possible in rehabilitation.
The biggest concern once Ablett returns to the field is that he'll suffer a similar injury. Brukner said people who suffered the injury once were more likely to do it again.
Betting was suspended on the Brownlow Medal after Ablett's injury, for which he was a hot favourite to win for a third time.
Sportsbet spokesman Shaun Anderson said no bets on Ablett would be taken until it was known how many matches he was likely to miss.
But punters can still bet on the Brownlow, with a market - minus Ablett - framed. Collingwood skipper Scott Pendlebury is favourite at $3.25, with Fremantle's Nat Fyfe $3.50, Josh Kennedy (Sydney) $4.50 and Joel Selwood (Geelong) $10.
There is speculation that Ablett has already earned enough votes to win, even if he misses up to a month, but no player has won a Brownlow after missing more than four games.
According to Champion Data, Ablett could have received three votes from umpires in 10 games this year, with Pendlebury on eight, Geelong's Joel Selwood six and West Coast's Josh Kennedy five.

MARIKANA, South Africa (Reuters) - South African workers at the world's No. 3 platinum producer Lonmin launched a wildcat strike on Tuesday, halting all mine operations and sparking fears of a return to the violence that rocked the industry last year.
As dusk fell, a strike leader told thousands of workers gathered at a stadium near Lonmin's Marikana mine to return home and continue the strike on Wednesday. Workers told a Reuters reporter no one would show up for the night shift.

Activists also said they would go to shafts the next day to threaten those who showed up for work, using the Zulu word for "rat" to describe them. This follows a pattern of intimidation that has accompanied illegal strikes in South Africa.
The platinum belt towns of Rustenburg and Marikana, which saw violent strikes at Lonmin and other producers last year, are a flashpoint of labor strife, with tensions running high over looming job cuts and wage talks.
Aggravating the situation is a turf war between the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) and the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) - an ally of the ruling ANC that has lost many of its members to the more militant AMCU.
An NUM spokesman said Tuesday's strike appeared to stem from anger over the killing of an AMCU member. A police statement said a 46-year-old man "alleged to be the regional organizer of AMCU" had been shot dead in a Rustenburg tavern on Saturday.
The striking workers marched to the rocky outcrop near the Marikana mine where 34 strikers were shot dead by police in August last year and were then taken by bus to the stadium, an indication the strike had been planned.
Many chanted: "Down with NUM, we will destroy it today."
The protesters said they were demanding the closure of the NUM offices at Lonmin, which said last week that AMCU now represented over 70 percent of its workforce.
Lonmin's share price slid over 7 percent and the rand hit 3-week lows as investors worried about a repeat of 2012's turmoil, which hammered platinum and gold production and triggered credit downgrades for Africa's largest economy.
"Peace and returning to normal production in our mining industry is absolutely critical to our economy, so I'm hoping that everybody sits down together and solves their problem," Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said in Cape Town.
The strike puts pressure on President Jacob Zuma's African National Congress (ANC), which was criticized for its handling of last year's turmoil and faces accusations that it is neglecting the poor masses 19 years after the end of apartheid.
The mine unrest is rooted in glaring income disparities and low wages for a workforce that is largely semi-literate and drawn from poor rural areas of South Africa.
Platinum's spot price rose 1.5 percent on news of the strike, widening its premium over gold to more than $60 an ounce, the highest in a month.
Lonmin spokeswoman Sue Vey said all Marikana's 13 shafts were idle.
The company told the strikers to return to work. "Failure to do this could result in further reduction of jobs at Lonmin," it said in a memo to staff, a copy of which was seen by Reuters.
It said the strike action "will severely impact the viability of Lonmin and will put your work and the sustainability of your family at risk".
The stoppage occurred during Platinum Week, an annual gathering in London of industry executives and analysts. Lonmin workers also downed tools for one day in March during a visit by media, embarrassing the company as it tried to show how it had recovered from last year's problems.
Acting chief executive Simon Scott told Reuters in an interview late on Monday the company would tell unions to curb expectations for forthcoming wage talks because it remains under pressure despite reporting robust first-half earnings.
"While the results are a significant improvement over last year, this is still not an industry that is making a lot of money. This is still not an industry that is giving shareholders a huge return," he said.
Social tensions in the area have been further stoked by plans by Anglo American Platinum , the world's top producer, to slash 6,000 jobs in a bid to restore profits. That is less than half the 14,000 initially targeted but unions have still vowed to fight the lay-offs.

Minnesota House Votes To Kick In School Lunch Money
ST. PAUL (AP) — The Minnesota House has voted unanimously on a bill guaranteeing children don't get denied a school lunch for lack of money.
The bill passed Thursday gained traction amid reports that some districts denied lunches to kids who couldn't afford them or supplied those children with a lesser meal than peers.
Rep. Yvonne Selcer says the vote should "make the statement that no child shall go hungry in a Minnesota school because of the inability to pay."
Most subsidies for school lunches come from the federal government, but the state adds a small share. Children on reduced-price meal programs still have a gap of 40 cents between the subsidies and the typical hot lunch cost.
A similar bill is traveling through the Senate. Gov. Mark Dayton is also on board.

Six Bluejay starters had multiple hits as the Creighton Baseball team improved to 23-9 with a 5-3 win over Nebraska before 8,395 fans at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha on Friday, April 26.
Creighton jumped out on Nebraska early with two runs in the top of the first. Junior Federico Castagnini and sophomore Jake Peter set the stage with back-to-back singles, then senior Alex Staehely put the Jays an RBI double down the left field line. Freshman Reagan Fowler followed with an RBI groundout to shortstop, making it 2-0.
The Huskers got on the board in the third as Nebraska's Michael Pritchard flawlessly executed a safety squeeze to score Bryan Peters and halve the Jays' lead, 2-1.
The Bluejays responded in their next trip to the plate as senior Michael Blatchford stroked an RBI single to center. Blatchford's shot plated Fowler, who opened the inning with a single to right-center.
CU's lead stretched to 4-1 in the top of the seventh when Blatchford scored on a grounder to second base by Castagnini by evading the tag by Husker backstop Taylor Fish.
The insurance run proved crucial as Nebraska gave the Bluejays a scare in the bottom of the seventh. Creighton starter, freshman Tommy Strunc, walked Blake Headley on five pitches to open the frame before giving way to sophomore Mark Lukowski. After a single and a walk loaded the bases, seniorMark Winkelman came on in relief with no outs. Rich Sanguinetti's single up the middle would plate Headley for NU's second run of the game, and the Bluejay lead dropped to 4-3 on Pat Kelly's double-play groundout that scored Taylor Fish from third. Winkelman escaped the jam by getting Pritchard to fly out to left.
After both teams were held scoreless in the eighth, the Jays added to their lead in the top of the ninth. A Castagnini single with one out put men at the corners, and Brad McKewon would score on a Peter single to left. Husker closer Dylan Vogt avoided further damage by inducing an inning-ending double-play ball.
Peter moved from second base to the mound to close the door for Creighton's victory in the ninth. He struck out Josh Scheffert and Peters to open the frame before Sanguinetti flied out to left for the final out.
Strunc improved to 6-1 with the win, allowing five hits and two runs while striking out five in six-plus innings of work in the longest start by a Creighton pitcher versus Nebrask since 2002. Peter's save was his sixth of the year.
Six men had multiple hits for the Jays, paced by a three-hit day from Castagnini. Blatchford recorded his first multiple-hit game since March of 2011, while senior Jordan Makovicka also had two hits in the DH role. Peter, Staehely and Fowler also had two hits on the night.
Nebraska starter Christian DeLeon (5-3) was tagged with the loss, allowing 10 hits and four runs in 6.1 innings. Sanguinetti and Chad Christensen each had two hits.
Creighton and Nebraska continue play in the TD Ameritrade Classic on Saturday, April 27 as Nebraska plays Oklahoma State in a doubleheader beginning at 11 a.m. The Jays, meanwhile, face Rutgers in the nightcap at 7 p.m.

Giving back to the community we've called home for the past 25 years is part of our core culture here at Deschutes Brewery. What better time to talk about the importance of businesses being involved in charitable giving than today, International Corporate Philanthropy Day (ICPD)? This international advocacy day was originally founded by the Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy, the only international forum of business CEOs and chairpersons focused exclusively on corporate philanthropy. We say every day is for giving back, but if a recognized day like today helps raise awareness, then we're on board!
So, we're taking today to tell a little bit more about our story, with specific examples of how recent gifts are being used right here in our community. Each year, we contribute $1 per barrel of beer sold to charitable endeavors. That means, when you buy our beer, you're giving back too. Last year, we sold more than 250,000 barrels of beer (31 gal/bbl) – and that's math that makes a big difference. In fact, since our inception, we've given more than $3 Million dollars back to organizations in Central Oregon and the other places we do business. What causes do we support? Everything from environmental causes to children's services…and many things in between. A cross-departmental team of passionate individuals help to guide community giving for the brewery.
Just to give a recent example of how one of our gifts is being used, we just donated $10,000 to the Bend Area Habitat for Humanity earlier today. They will be using the gift to construct a home in our community for a low income family. Construction is slated to begin on the home this spring, and not only will the new home directly benefit the family of five that will be moving in there, but the construction has a positive economic impact on our region. We were happy to be able to support this project in a significant way this year, joining with gifts from other businesses and volunteers in our area.
We hope all businesses in our community understand just how important their support is to our local nonprofits, and all that these organizations do to support the health of Central Oregon and beyond. Happy International Corporate Philanthropy Day!

3 monitoring programs in one????/
Well not really. This article does a good job of explaining the difference between Nagios, Icinga and Opsview. At the core these are all Nagios though. Missing from this set is Groundwork Opensource which is also based on Nagios, which we reviewed last year. If you haven't looked at the original or these two alternatives give the article a look. If you are evaluating Network Monitoring/Datacenter Monitoring solutions to check out Zenoss, we we also reviewed last year. While inspired by Nagios it is a completely new process. But as a testiment to how awesome Nagios is still can use any Nagios plugins that you just can't live without.

Mujadara (Rice, Lentils and Caramelized Onion Pilaf)
While scrolling through the intertubes the other day, I came across a recipe for Mujadara on the herbivoracious site. Mujadara is a classic middle eastern pilaf-type dish made with lentils, rice and caramelized onions. Even though this dish was new to me, according to the "Encyclopedia of Jewish Food" by Gil Marks, the first recorded recipe for mujadara was found in a 1226CE cookbook, and that recipe was based on a 9th century recipe.
The term mujadara can be spelled a number of different ways since it is a transliteration from the Arabic word for smallpox, which the lentils kinda-sorta resemble. Before you go ewwww ... you know those vermicelli noodles you dined on last night? They are named after the Italian word for little worms. So there.
I didn't make any major changes to Michael's recipe. Since his version serves 4 as a main course, I halved everything but the spices to make 4 sidedish servings. White wine or vermouth are suggested, but since I have no idea what vermouth is, except that it is used to water down the gin in martinis, I went with wine. Michael does say that you can use water instead, but veggie broth has a bit more flavor. Also, I used butter like in the original, but feel free to omit it and double the olive oil for a vegan version.
Michael is correct that cooking onions for an hour coaxes the maximum amount of flavor and sweetness out of them. But I don't have that luxury on most weekdays, so I took a slight shortcut, sauteing the onions at medium instead of low to speed up the cook time. As a result we were able to sit down to dinner less than a hour after I got home from my day job. Of course, it helped that I was making a simple baked fish for dinner, which allowed me to potschke (fool around) with this dish.
For those more organized than I, toss a million sliced onions with some olive oil into a slow cooker and leave to cook on low all day, then freeze what you don't need at dinner time (caramelized onions freeze beautifully, by the way). A more detailed explanation is in my soon to be published future best-selling cookbook, but if you're real nice I'll share a version of that recipe right here. Eventually. Probably.
Michael cautions against using red or French lentils and to use brown or green instead since they hold their shape better. So even though I prefer red I went with brown; color the result de-licious! Even theHubby, who normally doesn't care for lentils, ate his entire serving! Woo-hoo! A delicious and healthy keeper (both the recipe AND theHubby)!
Mujadarah (Rice, Lentil and Caramelized Onion Pilaf)
Adapted from herbivoracious
Yield: 4 side-dish servings
4 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
1 Tbl. butter
1 Tbl. olive oil
1/2 cup white wine or vegetarian chicken broth
3/4 cup uncooked brown lentils
1 cup uncooked white rice
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
couple sprigs flat leaf parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onions to coat.
|This is how the onions looked after the 5 minutes.
Cover and let steam for 5 minutes.
|This is how they looked after 15 minutes. Nice, but not done.
Uncover and stir occasionally until onions are deeply browned, another 20-ish minutes.
|After 20 minutes. What a difference a few more minutes make.
Meanwhile, cook the rice and the lentils separately in water according to their package directions. If your package of lentils doesn't have cooking directions (like mine didn't), rinse lentils, then add to 2 cups boiling water. Cover and simmer on low for 20 minutes, or until lentils are cooked through but still firm. Drain. Transfer cooked rice and lentils to a serving bowl and set aside; keep warm.
When the onions are brown to your liking, carefully pour in the wine or broth.
Let simmer until the liquid is almost totally evaporated, which will only take a minute or two.
Add onions to the lentils and rice along with the cinnamon, cumin, salt and pepper. Gently stir to combine.
Top with chopped parsley and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers, covered, in the fridge for up to 3 days.
