Excellent replacement for those who have been waiting to long for a replacement for the 4870 series. 03/30/2012
This review is from: PowerColor Radeon HD 7950 DirectX 11 AX7950 3GBD5-2DH 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Excellent performance in most games out there, including Crysis, COD series, BF3, and many others. Also runs Mass Effect 3 maxed out at 1680x1050 resolution. Currently waiting for a nice 3view 2560 x 1440 IPS screen to really push this card to its limit.
High amount of onboard ram will keep this card competitive in either high screen resolutions or high texture resolutions. Highly recommend downloading AMD's latest catalyst 12.3 drivers before installing the card.
While installing the drivers, you may have an issue where your screen blacks out, and does not come back on. Let the install process run its course, then press the Windows key, then the right arrow two times. Finally tap the up arrow, and hit enter. This will be the restart option, at least if your OS is Windows 7. Your system should reboot ok, with the new driver installed. I'm currently not sure if this is a problem with the graphics card's bios or with AMD's install routines, but it is a new product, so I won't ding them an egg for that, since I was able to work around the problem.

Admission Requirements
The following policies and procedures have been adopted by DISC for the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree and supersede all prior Department policies and procedures pertaining to this program. These policies and procedures shall be applied beyond those required by the Bauer College of Business (Bauer) and the University. College and University policies shall take precedence over departmental policies in the case of direct conflict.
The Bauer admission requirements represent the minimum criteria for a candidate to be considered for admission in the Ph.D. program in DISC. Having achieved these minima, the candidate's application will be reviewed by the DISC Ph.D. committee. The DISC Ph.D. Coordinator then makes admission recommendations to the Graduate Programs Office of the College.
Advisory Committee
The student's Advisory (coursework) Committee chairperson shall be named during the first semester of the student's enrollment in the program. Approval of the members of the Advisory Committee by the DISC Ph.D. Coordinator is required. This committee has primary responsibility for:
- Structuring the coursework program and insuring that all program requirements and equivalencies are satisfied.
- Monitoring the student's progress.
- Supervising the oral comprehensive examination.
Annual Review
Consistent with Bauer Guidelines, each candidate will be formally evaluated on an annual basis. This evaluation will encompass the following aspects of the students' performance:
- Performance in coursework.
- Performance as a teaching/research assistant.
- Attendance at and participation in DISC related research/seminar series at the college and the University.
- Progress toward completion of degree.
Form of the Evaluation
The evaluation will be conducted by the DISC Ph.D. coordinator with input from DISC faculty. After considering all relevant information including, but not limited to, that provided by the chairperson of that candidate's Advisory Committee or Dissertation Committee and the student's faculty research or teaching mentors, one of four recommendations will be made to the Associate Dean for Academic and Research Programs:
- The candidate's progress is satisfactory in all regards, and the candidate should be retained in the program.
- The candidate's progress is unsatisfactory in some regards, and the candidate should be carefully counseled and monitored to eliminate these deficiencies.
- The candidate's progress is unsatisfactory and gives cause for serious concern, and the candidate should be placed on probation with a specified time for correcting the noted deficiencies.
- The candidate's progress does not warrant continuation in the program and the candidate should be dismissed from the program.
Written copies of the evaluation will be transmitted to the candidate, the chairperson of that candidate's Advisory Committee or Dissertation Committee, and the Associate Dean for Academic and Research Programs.
Dismissal from Program
In the event that the recommendation is dismissal from the program, a majority vote by the tenure-track faculty in the DISC area is required. Consistent with Bauer Guidelines, the action of dismissing a candidate from doctoral program is the responsibility of the Associate Dean for Academic and Research Programs.
Financial Assistance
It is the policy of the Department to provide financial assistance to most entering Ph.D. students requesting such aid, subject to funding limitations. Compensation ranges from $31,870 to $35,710, based on a $2100 per month stipend with annual increases through the third year, also on a fellowship during a student's first two years and teaching compensation thereafter, plus tuition waiver (less student-paid fees). Every May or June each Ph.D. student will be evaluated by the Department for continuation in the program and eligibility to receive financial aid.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
JBC & Associates placed on my credit report two "debts" in the amounts of $112.00 and $136.00. These go back to May 2004 collectively. After doing research on my own accord, and prior to contacting this company, I found they are in the business of collecting on dishonored checks. This is where many flags set off for me as I did not have a checking account for three years prior to this time. When I called them, I got JBC Legal Group - - not the independent arm of JBC & Associates, which if you check their telephone number using a reverse search, you get that it is Outsource Recovery Management.
Upon the call with them, I found they have two outstanding checks from ... get this .. 1997. Tehy told me the checks totalled approximately $986.86. I have been a certified paralegal for the past six years, and know full-well they can no longer collect nor report on these checks, and told them so. I also politely asked for the information which I was seeking, being these two checks in the amounts of $112.00 and $136.00. They said they show no information on these checks, and that all of their information isnt in their computers yet. (Now, if the agency is able to have enough information to know that it is past the 30 day period allowed by law under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), found at ____________________________, to report it to the credit bureaus, then they must also know the debt, when it was due, etc.; which they cannot provide for me.
Now I am getting furious because they are giving me the runaround, and they transfer me to a supervisor. Shetells me that this is a true debt and they have only the information they gave me and that they dont report information to the credit bureaus; that their client may but they dont themselves. I explained it is showing under their name, and she said I must be mistaken because they don't do it. (Hmmm... then what is it doing there?!?!?!?! And I think I can read four short words like JBC & Assoc., Bloomfield, NJ if I can sit down and read avidly US Supreme Court opinions!)
So now I am suing them in the US District Court, utilizing every last right I have under all Federal Laws, waiving any right by State since I will get further with Federal Law. Additioanlly, since they use interstate mail, they are not only breaking the Federal Consumer Credit Protection laws, but they are also commiting mail fraud.... a much much more serious offense. As a result, I am also forwarding a courtesy copy of the lawsuit to the Postal Inspector General for his own records and informations o he is aware of what it is this company is doing to the general public.
Dont put up with their tactics or be intimidated. If statutes of limitations have passed, they cant doa thing ... also don't let your rights as a consumer be compromised. It is companies like this that make things so hard in such times as we are in!

#1 Consumer Comment
Are you sure the federal courts are your best option?
AUTHOR: Tim - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, December 06, 2004POSTED: Monday, December 06, 2004
The controlling substantive laws will be the same regardless of whether you choose federal or state courts (see Erie and its progeny). Even though you are suing under federal laws, you must also ensure that these laws carry federal subject matter jurisdiction with them (since this is not a valid diversity claim). If you actually can sue in fed courts, and if there are procedural advantages (i.e. notice, etc.) to using the federal system, then I'd say go that route. If not, you still have the same "rights" if you take your claim to state court (just as you retain your substantive rights under state law if you litigate in federal court), and the state court might be faster and generally easier.
Another of my concerns with going through the federal system would be that JBC will come down with the full force of their legal department to avoid setting adverse precedent in the federal system. They may try to "motion" your case out of existence. In the state court, however, they may have less of a deire to vigorously defend themselves and offer a quick compromise. Who knows.
At any rate, I'm not qualified to tell you whether fed or state would be a better option. I just hope that your choice of the federal forum is based on your likelihood and ease of success, and not on the notion that the federal courts are more intimidating.
Best of luck, I hope you've got some good attorneys helping you out on this. There are alot of us who would love to see JBC taken down for their repeated violations of the FDCPA, various state laws, etc.
None of the above statements should be construed as competent legal advice. If I got something wrong, please point it out.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

A dispute has been solved between Grant County Judge-Executive Steve Wood and the Grant County Public Library Board and Susan Nimersheim, the library's director.
The conflict began with the board's submission of two names, with one to be chosen as a nominee by Wood, to replace outgoing board member Elsye Willoughby. After initially being reluctant to choose one of the two names submitted by the board, Wood announced Aug. 19 he would nominate Williamstown attorney Matthew Smith to serve on the Grant County Library District.

The Grant County boys' soccer team has kicked off their season nicely with a 3-0 record, with wins against Villa Madonna, Calvary Christian and Holmes.
At Villa Madonna, the Braves started out rough, resorting to old habits and letting the forwards run after the ball instead of gaining and keeping possession.
But, in the second half, they came alive.
Senior and captain True Williams helped keep his teammates motivated to play the way they knew they could, and it helped.

AbstractThe aromatic polyketones 3a-d are versatile compounds for the synthesis of the multi-1,2,3-selenadiazole aromatic derivatives 1a-d. The preparation starts with the reaction between the multi-bromomethylene benzene derivatives 2a-d and 4-hydroxy- acetophenone to give compounds 3a-d which are transformed through the reaction with semicarbazide hydrochloride or ethyl hydrazine carboxylate into the corresponding semicarbazones derivatives 4a-d or hydrazones 5a-d. The reaction with selenium dioxide leads to regiospecific ring closure of semicarbazones or hydrazones to give the multi- 1,2,3-selenadiazole aromatic derivatives in high yield.
Keywords: 1; 2; 3-Selenadiazoles; semicarbazones; aromatic derivatives

Rodolfo Alonso is an Argentine poet, translator, essayist, and editor. The collection includes Alonso's correspondence with various Latin American writers including Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Raúl Gustavo Aguirre, Juan Gelman, Augusto Roa Bastos, Juan José Saer, Ernesto Sábato, Lêdo Ivo, Hector Tizón, Edgar Bayley, António Ramos Rosa, Milton de Lima Sousa, and Claudio Magris. In addition, the collection includes photographs of Alonso throughout his career with many Latin American figures as well as a personal collection of his family and travels.
Phillips Family Papers (C1387)
Consists of photographs, manuscripts, diaries, and ephemera relating to Edward H. Phillips (1868-1944), his wife Marie Kempton Phillips (1881-1946), and their daughter Jean Sarah Phillips (1908–1985) that document ranch life in and around Montana around the turn of the 20th century as well as Ed Phillips' involvement in Wild West shows, including Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, and his career as a Hollywood actor. Notably, there are over 550 negatives taken by Marie Kempton Phillips with a hand-held camera dating from circa 1904 to 1938, many of which depict life on a Montana ranch, novelty steer riding and rodeo scenes, horse races and other performances, branding, cattle, wagon trains, horse-breaking, and more.
"The Adventures of Dido Queen of Carthage" Manuscript (C0938 no. 686q)
The author of this manuscript, dated 1804, was likely Rebecca Ricardo Keyser (1778-1838), mother of British financier Charles Keyser (1814-1892). A fictional retelling of the story of Dido of Carthage, it counters Virgil's depiction of the character in his Aeneid. The narrative is essentially the one told by Pompeius Trogus, which was superseded by Virgil's portrayal of Dido as the hapless lover of Aeneas. In her preface, the author warns the reader: "The lover of Virgil, accustomed to view Dido only as the bride of Aeneas, may avert his eye with disdain from beholding this illustrious fair one under any other form; and while his mind is impressed with the glowing picture of the mantuan bard delineating the sorrows of a being deserted by the man she loved … he must remember that Aeneas, not Dido, was the hero of this poem." Explaining her intentions, the author also states "I have endeavoured to prove that a refined love is not incompatible with the higher duties of life; I have endeavoured to free my heroine from those puerile feelings the attendant of little minds, and have shewn that a virtuous passion can be exalted to an intellectual sentiment."

Aberdeen goalkeeper Jamie Langfield believes talented youngster Ryan Fraser can play a key role for the Dons this season.
The diminutive winger gave the Hearts defence a torrid time during his side's goalless draw at Pittodrie. And Langfield is convinced the 18-year-old has the skill and bravery required to make it at the top level.
He said: "Whenever he gets tackled he just bounces right back up. He has no fear whatsoever. You can see that he is thoroughly enjoying playing in the first team. All of the older boys think it is so refreshing to see somebody so young and full of enthusiasm. Long may it continue."
The Dons stopper had one of his easier afternoons as his side dominated against a jaded Hearts team, still tired after their midweek Europa League exertions against Liverpool.
He said: "That was a very quiet game for me.
"We knew after they put a lot into their game the other night against Liverpool that they would be tired, although we had a game on Wednesday night that went to extra time.
"It was just one of those games where we needed the early goal as we could have then gone on and scored more. Unfortunately we couldn't get the goal that I thought we thoroughly deserved."
However Langfield admitted his side need to show more of a cutting edge after a second successive goalless draw at Pittodrie.
He added: "You don't want draws every week and we know we have to turn these draws into wins. We think we should be four points better off than what we are had we taken our chances.
"It's a good sign that we are talking that way rather than coming off the pitch thinking that we haven't played well but got a point. I can't remember the last time we have played at Pittodrie and got clapped off after a 0-0 draw. It just shows the fans realise that the boys are giving everything."

Among the many small changes that Adobe added to Photoshop CS5 are enhancements to some of Photoshop's tools. The Crop tool for example has acquired a new grid. In order to see that grid I'm going to draw an initial crop boundary around this image and if you look closely you can see that there is a grid made up of two horizontal lines and two vertical lines and if you look up in the Options Bar you will see the new Crop Guide Overlay which is set to Rule of Thirds. This particular grid was designed to simulate the Rule of Thirds that artists having been using for centuries to place the most important objects in an image so that the viewer's attention is drawn to them and so that the composition is pleasing.
So I can use this Rule of Thirds grid to place the important parts of this image as I make a Crop. I would like to make this image a bit smaller, so I am going to move my mouse over one of the corner anchor points. I will hold the Shift key to retain proportions as I make the crop boundary smaller and I will drag in. When I have got it just about size I want, I will click in the middle of the grid and I will drag it, so that those intersections of the horizontal and vertical lines in the Rule of Thirds grid are over some important parts of the image.
And I will click the check mark to commit that crop. The Rule of Thirds grid isn't the only grid that's new in Photoshop CS5, there's also a Straight grid and that one comes in really handy when I am making a perspective crop. Now Perspective Crop is not new in Photoshop, but it's easier to do a perspective crop, if you have a grid to guide you as you now do in Photoshop CS5. So again, with the Crop tool I will click and drag an initial crop boundary and then I am going to go over to Crop Guide Overlay and change that from Rule of Thirds to Grid.
I am also going to go to the View menu and I am going to uncheck Snap, so that it's easier to crop this image so that the vertical lines in the image like those in the columns for example and in the windows match up with the vertical lines in the Grid. To do a Perspective Crop, I have to go to the Options Bar and click the Perspective checkbox and then I will go to the anchor points at the corners of my crop boundary and I am going to drag those in and what I'm trying to do is to match the vertical lines in the image with the vertical lines in the Crop Grid.
Something like that might do, and then I'll click the check mark and you can see that Photoshop has done a pretty good job of straightening out that image for me and it was a lot easier to do than in previous versions of the program, because I had that new Grid as a guide. The Ruler tool has also got an enhancement in Photoshop CS5. In past versions of Photoshop I was able to use the Ruler tool to straighten a horizon like this. But to do that I had to know a secret handshake which basically was to choose Image, Image Rotation and then Arbitrary and then have to crop away the excess after the image was straightened, but that was hard for people to discover and it also involved a couple of steps.
Now the same task is easier to do and more discoverable. So with the Ruler tool, I am going to come into the image and I'm going to click and drag a line across a horizontal or vertical feature that I would like to use to straighten the image. And then all I have to do is go up to the Options Bar for the Ruler tool and click Straighten, and in just a second the image is made straight and cropped at the same time, all in one step. Now by the way if for some reason you don't want to crop it, you can hold down the Option or Alt key as you click the Straighten button and the image will be straightened, but you will get some extra bits of canvas around the edges of the image.
Here is another new feature. The Eyedropper tool has gotten an enhancement too. I like to use the Eyedropper tool to select colors for my image to use as a foreground color to do further work. When I move the Eyedropper tool over part of this image and click, I get this new color sampling ring. And if you look up at the Options Bar for the Eyedropper tool, you will see that Show Sampling Ring is checked. So let's take a look at the Sampling Ring. The outer grey ring is just a neutral color to help me better see the colors that are selected in the inner ring and the inner ring is divided into two pieces.
The bottom half of the inner ring represents the last color that I had in the foreground color box in the toolbar and the top part of the inner color ring represents the color that I am currently sampling with the Eyedropper. So with my mouse still held down, if I move over another color, you can see the top part of that inner ring change. When I have a color that I like, I will release my mouse and that color appears here in the Foreground Color box in the toolbar. The nice thing about having the Sampling Ring is that it allows me to compare my current color with the color I am sampling and also to do that in context of the colors in the image.
The Zoom tool has also gotten a new option in CS5 and that is Scrubby Zoom. The way this works is that with Scrubby Zoom enabled as it is by default, I can come into the image and pinpoint exactly the area that I want to zoom into by clicking there and dragging to the right. And if I want to zoom out, I click and drag to the left. I really like this feature because it's very responsive and it lets me see exactly the part of the image that I am after. If you don't like it you can disable it by going up to the Options Bar and unchecking Scrubby Zoom.
And then the Zoom tool will behave as it did in the last version of Photoshop. If I click and drag with it, it'll make a marquee and zoom me into the contents of the marquee. By the way if your Scrubby Zoom isn't working, it's probably because you don't have OpenGL drawing enabled in the Performance area of your Preferences. So go into that area of your Photoshop Preferences and make sure there is a checkmark next to OpenGL Drawing and then restart Photoshop and you should be able to use Scrubby Zoom. Let's take a look at one more new tools enhancement and that is one of the extra bits of content that Adobe has added to CS5.
I am going to select the Gradient tool to show you photographers the new Neutral Density Gradient Preset that's been added to the Gradient tool. I am going to go up to the Options Bar and click in the Gradient Bar to open the Gradient Editor. Here in the default set of Gradient Presets, I will select the very last one, the new Neutral Density preset and I will click OK. Now I am going to go to my Layers panel. I could use this Gradient directly on the background layer that contains this photo, but I prefer to do that on a separate layer so that I can control the way that the gradient is interacting with the image.
So I will make a new layer and with that new layer selected I will come in to the image and I am going to start at the bottom and drag up and that adds a gradient that's dark on the bottom and lighter on the top, which is just what I want with this image because if I turn that Gradient off for a minute, you can see that this image is too light on the bottom and needs a little darkening, even though the top is pretty much the way I would like it. Because I did put that Neutral Density Gradient on a new layer, I now can fine-tune the way that it's interacting with the photo on the layer below.
So for example, I can go to the Blend Mode menu and I could choose either Overlay or Soft Light to get a better blend between the Gradient and the Image, and I could lower the Opacity of that Neutral Density layer if I wish. I also could take that layer and duplicate it, which will increase its intensity. So, those are some of the new changes that Adobe has made to various tools in the toolbar, all with an eye to making things easier for you, the user.

Answers to your questions about gardening, energy, homesteading and other sustainable living topics.
By William Woys Weaver
clarified butter, ghee, William Woys Weaver, margarine, real butter, congealed butter
What is clarified butter? I see it in recipes all the time. Is that something I have to buy, or can I make it at home from real butter? Will margarine work?
Theresa JamesLincoln, Nebraska
Clarified butter is butter that has been heated in a pan and gently boiled so that the butterfat rises to the top. The fat is then skimmed off leaving only the clear liquid. That liquid is poured into a container and allowed to congeal. It is used extensively in cooking, and is nearly the same thing as Indian ghee. Margarine is not a suitable substitute, and in fact it is much less healthful than real butter.

Eddins was one of three bids, with second lowest for $37,500.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
This letter is to advise that in November 2010, I called Sensa Customer Service to claim an order that I had not receive at my home. I actually ended up calling them twice for the same reason. The second time around, I wanted to cancel. The representative stated that the second box had gone out and that I should be receiving it soon. I told her to still cancel my membership and that if I would received my package, I would call back to confirm and continue the membership.
Evidently, this had not been done. I was still to this day, enrolled in the program without seeing or trying out the product. Today, 5/11/2011, I contacted customer service at 1-888-514-2554, as I received a box with Sensas 5 and 6 month supply and a bill for $89.95. I worried that I had not received anything previously and that I was being card on the card. I did not notice that I had been charged two other times previously, this being the third time. When I call, the lady that tried to assist me was not the most pleasant person to speak to on the phone, as she wanted to explain the reasons why she was not going to give me back my money, and refused to give me a chance to speak. After hearing everything she had to day, I tried to explain, but that was not good enough for her. I ended up asking for her supervisor, which was a bit nicer, and yet he said he understood, still told me he could only refund me for the product I had in hand. The Supervisors name is Dallas. I spoke to him at 4:51PM.
I refuse to allow anyone to keep my money, as I am a single mother in the struggle and work 2 jobs to make ends meet. It is not fair that Supervisor Dallas was only wanted to give me a refund for the product I have on hand, and not for what I have been charged for the last two occasions, due to that I have never received the product.
First thing, I called to cancel. My membership was not cancelled. I never called to confirmed that I had received the product like I said I would. Your representative did not have the best customer service skills. Your Supervisor Dallas, refused to give me the refund. Also refused to give me the managers last name, schedule and name of the CEO of the company.
I dont think this is being handled the right way and the person that I think may help me is you Dr. Hirsch. You, of all people, with certifications in many areas, American board of psychiatry #18, #189, #634, ect.. A well educated man, will be the one to do something about this. I am not sure if this has occurred to anyone else in the past, but Ill tell you. My mother does not and she is always home, and this is the first time, we received anything from Sensa. I would not make such a big deal, but this $269.85 that we are talking about. I want my money back! I am going to contact the BBB, the Truste Foundation, EXTRA News, FOX, NBC, and if needed, I will post what happened on facebook, Twitter, you tube, Blog, ect so that everyone knows how I received treatment from Sensa. I will appreciate a call from you directly or a letter with an explanation on what will be done about this and on why it was to begin with. So much frustration and the agony, all because your customer service is not the best or I should say, not good at all. If perhaps, you have proof that I signed for the package, then I would understand, your customer service may call me out. But they left it on the door and I live in an apartment complex. Anyone could of taken it and walked away. For because Fedex states that they delivered it, that is enough for your customer service to believe I received it, when I never did. Why should I pay for a product that I never got? This is not fair and I am going to wait and hear from you. I hope soon.
