Subject: Motherboards, Systems | June 1, 2016 - 01:50 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Z170, X99, Ultra Gaming, Intel H170, gigabyte, designare, brix
Gigabyte is showing off new X99, B150 and Z170 motherboards, the Ultra Gaming series and the Designare series which they describe as being optimized for content creators, designers, and artists. The Ultra Gaming series will add Ambient Surround LEDs, found on the motherboard and Pinstripe Headers so that you can have a lightshow while you game.
Also new is Hybrid Fan Control which will allows the motherboard headers to support Voltage Calibration and Pulse Width Modulation fans and pumps. M.2 and U.2 support is of course also added to the new boards. The new boards include the GA-X99-Ultra Gaming, GA-X99-Phoenix SLI, GA-Z170X-Ultra Gaming, GA-Z170-UD3 Ultra and GA-B150-Gaming TH.
The Designare series is a bit different, with a focus on storage speed. USB 3.1 ports offer quick transfer speeds for your external storage and support for three NVMe drives in RAID-0 ensure that the speed of your internal storage does not slow your creative flow down. This series features the GA-X99-Designare EX, GA-Z170X-Designare and GA-H170-Designare.
They also offered a teaser as to their new BRIX lineup. The BRIX Gaming UHD will be tiny, less than 2.6L and less than 2kg but will support Core i5 and i7 processors. As we well there will be a new GIGABYTE PC which will be slightly larger at about 10L and will support full sized graphics cards.

Gigabyte reveals two motherboards and a Next Generation BRIX at CES 2016
Subject: Motherboards, Shows and Expos | January 7, 2016 - 01:28 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: X170-Extreme ECC, gigabyte, GA-X150M-PLUS WS, GA-X150-PLUS WS, CES, brix
Gigabyte revealed two high end LGA1151 motherboards which will support Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5 processors in addition to the more common Core models purchased by enthusiasts. The GA-X150-PLUS WS is a full sized ATX board with a PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 connector with transfer rates of up to 32Gb/s as well as SEx ports and a network traffic management application called cFosSpeed on the gigabit NIC to reduce latency.
The GA-X150M-PLUS WS is a Micro-ATX version of the previous board, keeping all of the features of the larger model but sacrificing dual GPU support due to size constraints. They also released a X170-Extreme ECC, one of the few consumer boards to support ECC memory for those who regularly use programs which can benefit from error correcting DRAM.
For those who like their systems small and ready to go out of the box, the new Brix line up is a mere 0.46L (34.4 x 112.6 x 119.4mm) and uses the new Skylake processors, the model number indicating the processor you will find within the Brix. They all sport an M.2 SSD slot, a pair of slots for SO-DIMM DDR3L, HDMI and Mini DisplayPort 1.2 outputs along with four USB connectors and both wired and wireless network connectivity. These new Brix will also support Thunderbolt 3 over their USB Type-C port
Full PR after the break.

SFF PCs get an upgrade
Ultra compact computers, otherwise known as small form factor PCs, are a rapidly increasing market as consumers realize that, for nearly all purposes other than gaming and video editing, Ultrabook-class hardware is "fast enough". I know that some of our readers will debate that fact, and we welcome the discussion, but as CPU architectures continue to improve in both performance and efficiency, you will be able to combine higher performance into smaller spaces. The Gigabyte BRIX platform is the exact result that you expect to see with that combination.
Previously, we have seen several other Gigabyte BRIX devices including our first desktop interaction with Iris Pro graphics, the BRIX Pro. Unfortunately though, that unit was plagued by noise issues - the small fan spun pretty fast to cool a 65 watt processor. For a small computer that would likely sit on top of your desk, that's a significant drawback.
Intel Ivy Bridge NUC, Gigabyte BRIX S Broadwell, Gigabyte BRIX Pro Haswell
This time around, Gigabyte is using the new Broadwell-U architecture in the Core i7-5500U and its significantly lower, 15 watt TDP. That does come with some specification concessions though, including a dual-core CPU instead of a quad-core CPU and a peak Turbo clock rate that is 900 MHz lower. Comparing the Broadwell BRIX S to the more relevant previous generation based on Haswell, we get essentially the same clock speed, a similar TDP, but also an improved core architecture.
Today we are going to look at the new Gigabyte BRIX S featuring the Core i7-5500U and an NFC chip for some interesting interactions. The "S" designates that this model could support a full size 2.5-in hard drive in addition to the mSATA port.

CES 2015: Gigabyte Brix Broadwell is exactly what you think it is
Subject: Systems, Shows and Expos | January 5, 2015 - 07:35 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: gigabyte, ces 2015, CES, Broadwell, brix s, brix
Along with the launch of Intel's 5th Generation Core processor, codenamed Broadwell, Gigabyte announced a set of updated Brix and Brix s SFF systems using the new platform. The rest of the hardware remains mostly unchanged and the barebones "build your own" status is maintained. The "s" model supports a 2.5-in hard drive while the base models will support M.2 only.
Gigabyte plans Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 models based on Broadwell and the Core i7 model will include NFC capability on the top of the unit. Pricing and availability to come!

There is a GTX 760 in Gigabyte's Brix
Subject: Systems | August 8, 2014 - 05:17 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gigabyte, gigabyte brix, brix, BXi5G-760
This particular Brix is a lot more powerful than most with an i5-4200H and what they refer to as a GeForce GTX 760 with 6GB of GDDR5. The GTX 760 is not quite the same as the desktop version, with 1344 shaders as opposed to 1152 and a slightly lower clock at 967MHz Boost for the GPU and 1250MHz for the RAM. The storage and RAM are left up to you, with the assumption that an SSD will be installed like it was in The Tech Report's review model. The small system was capable of 1080p gaming at medium to high resolution which is rather impressive considering the heat constraints.
"Gigabyte's Brix Gaming BXi5G-760 is a mini-PC on steroids, with a discrete Nvidia GPU and a dual-core Haswell CPU inside. Can it hang with traditional gaming PCs? We put it through some tough tests to find out."

Video Perspective: Gigabyte Brix Projector BXPi3-4010 SFF System
Subject: Systems | March 12, 2014 - 07:38 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: video, SFF, projector, i3-4010u, gigabyte, bxpi3-4010, brix projector, brix
With more than a few of NUC-sized SFF PCs floating around these days, the BRIX Projector, with a catchy model number of BXPi3-4010, has something that no other option can offer: an integrated mini projector. As the name would imply, the BRIX Projector is part BRIX and part projector, and the combination is unique to the market as far as I can tell.
The guts of the BXPi3-4010 are split seemingly in half between the computer components that make up the BRIX and the DLP LED projector that rests on top. The processor inside is a Core i3-4010U that runs at up to 1.7 GHz and includes integrated Intel HD 4400 graphics. With a dual-core HyperThreaded design, the 4010U is competent, but nothing more, for standard application workloads and productivity. The HD 4400 graphics can run your most basic of games (think Peggle, FTL, Starbound) but isn't up to the task of most demanding 3D games like Bioshock.
You'll get a set of four USB 3.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet connection, mini-DisplayPort and HDMI output. Combined with the projector, you can use any TWO displays at one time: projector plus HDMI, HDMI plus mDP, etc.
The mini-HDMI input is pretty interesting and allows you to use the BRIX Projector as a stand alone projector, hooking up a DVD player, game console or anything to be displayed. The power button on the projector is separate from the PC power and you can run each without the other.
The unit comes as a barebones design, meaning you'll have to add mSATA storage and DDR3 low power SO-DIMMs to get up and running. Once you have your OS installed, you are going to be met with a rather small 854x480 resolution projector powered by a 75 lumen output. It's good, but not great.
That low resolution causes some issues with browsing the web and using some applications like Steam because we have all moved past the likes of 800x600 - thank goodness. Windows works fine and even Big Picture mode in Steam is an easy fix.
You can see in the video review below that image quality was pretty good for such a small device but the noise levels of the fan cooling the projector are quite high. I was even thinking of ripping it open and trying more creative ways of cooling the display components until Gigabyte informed me they need it back in a...functional capacity. Oh well.
The Gigabyte BRIX Projector BXPi3-4010 is selling for about $550 on both Newegg.com and Amazon.com which does NOT include the memory or storage you'll need (WiFi is included though). That seems kind of steep but considering other pico or mini projectors can easily cost $250-350, this BRIX unit is a better deal that the price might first indicate.
CES 2014: Gigabyte BRIX MAX is Haswell based Android NAS Device
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 9, 2014 - 05:31 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: CES, CES 2014, gigabyte, brix, brix max, haswell, Android, NAS
While browsing the Gigabyte suite at CES I came across a very interesting new product from Gigabyte that falls into the Brix family. The Brix Max is a larger version of the Brix SFF chassis (taller) that includes support for four 2.5-in hard drives. Powered by a 4th Generation Intel Core (Haswell) Core i5-4250U processor, this system is aimed towards the NAS market. In particular, those that want tiny NAS devices.
With a total fluid capacity of 1.2 liters (please don't fill your Brix with liquid...), the Brix Max includes a USB flash port, 802.11n Wi-Fi, HDMI output, Gigabit Ethernet and four USB 3.0 ports. Maybe more surprising is the fact that this unit was running Android and marks the first time we have seen a Haswell platform running the OS.
Gigabyte demoed the Brix Max powering a handful of networked devices and providing media content and backup storage for all sorts of other operating system. I am still not sure what kind of software was running on the Android OS to facilitate the NAS functionality but the Max includes the ability to set users, partition different share locations and more. Hopefully we'll be able to get a sample in at the offices to test out and let our readers know how an Android-based NAS can perform.

CES 2014: Gigabyte's New SFF BRIX Pro Comes With Iris Pro 5200 Graphics
Subject: General Tech, Systems | January 6, 2014 - 10:59 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: SFF, iris pro, Intel, gigabyte, CES 2014, CES, brix pro, brix
Gigabyte is showing off a new small form factor BRIX-series PC at CES this week. This new BRIX Pro computer offers up desktop-level performance in a tiny form factor (approximately 4.2" width x 4.5" length x 2" height).
The BRIX Pro is available as a DIY kit that comes with a black or red chassis, choice of either Intel i7 4770R or Intel i5 4570R processor, mini PCI-E Wi-Fi card, and power adapter/cable. In addition to the CPU performance offered by the Haswell processor, the big news here is that the BRIX Pro ships with the processor-integrated Intel Iris Pro Graphics 5200. This GPU is the high-end model that comes with 64MB of eDRAM. Considering how rare the Iris Pro GPU with embedded DRAM has been in desktop PCs, having it available in the BRIX platform is good news for enthusiasts!
Gigabyte claims that the BRIX Pro is capable of 3D gaming and is compatible with content creation/production applications. Additionally, it can output 4K resolutions over HDMI thanks to the Iris Pro 5200 GPU (at least the desktop and video, most gaming is out at 4K).
From there, users can add their own memory, mSATA SSD, and 2.5" SATA III drive. There is a mPCIe slot as well, but it is used by the 802.11ac Wi-Fi + BT 4.0 card.

External IO on the BRIX Pro includes two USB 3.0 ports and a combination analog headphone/digital S/PDIF jack on the front. On the back of the SFF PC, users have two USB 3.0 ports, one Gigabit Ethernet jack, one Mini DisplayPort output, one HDMI video output, a DC power input, and a Kensington lock.
Gigabyte has not revealed pricing or availability information, but it should be coming out sooner rather than later in 2014. When it does become available, there will be two models: the GB-BXi7-4770R and the GB-BXi5-4570R.

The BRIX Pro looks to be a powerhouse for its size, though I am curious about the noise levels produced by the cooling fan needed to keep the high end processor cool. Overall though, the BRIX Pro looks to be a nice addition to the compact BRIX PC lineup, and I am looking forward to reviews of it. Stay tuned to PC Perspective for more information as it becomes available.

we were thinking of having my 3 yr old wear a "i'm going to be a big brother" shirt, and just waiting for them to notice what it says? or getting cute frames for the first ultrasound like "grandbaby under construction" and having my son give them as gifts? any other clever ideas??? and 12 weeks is the week before thanksgiving for me, but that just seems like forever away!! with my son i think i only lasted about 10 weeks before i had to tell someone, and then it was everywhere by the time i got home from work lol any ideas are appreciated thanks!!!! =)
when and how will you tell the grandparents?

Hmmm... If you're waiting until Thanksgiving to tell them, you could offer to say the blessing before eating (if you're a blessing saying family, of course, lol) and Thank God for the newest edition coming in June. That should just about stop everyone in their tracks =)

I think that it is ok to tell people after 8-10 weeks. I am in the same boat as you. I have a 2.5 year old and we ordered him a shirt from cafepress that says shhh I have a secret on the front and on the back it says I am going to be a big brother. We are also thinking about waiting til Thanksgiving where I will be about 12 weeks, but we may spill the beans a little earlier. I just want to wait til I have my first u/s which should be somewhere between 8-10 weeks. I love the shirt idea because it gives your ds some ownership to the situation!

I gave my mom a bracelet for mother's day...it has charms on it that spell out NANA, then charms for all the grandkids birthstones. I'm going to get her a june birthstone charm and just casually tell her "i found something the other day and thought you might like it", then watch her unwrap it.
For DH's parents, we got DD a t-shirt "i'm the Big Sister" and just let them figure it out when they see her wearing it. I got it a little big for her so she can be sure and wear it the day the baby is born!
I really hope it all works out for us this month! I will be testing on saturday!

We will see my parents the day after Christmas, they live far away, and we are planning on giving my dad (he's a carpenter) a set of bassinet plans :) This is equally exciting!
We are still getting used to the idea of being prego! We can't believe it, it hasn't sunk in yet. I am hoping that we can keep quiet until Christmas...but the more I think about it the more difficult it gets!

Some relief for fans of Whitney Houston: they'll be able to watch the singer's funeral service this weekend.
Originally, the service was going to be private, but the Grammy winner's family has decided to stream the service live over the Internet.
That makes many fans thankful that they won't be excluded from the singer's final sendoff.
"She gave a lot to the people, so to watch it live is a privilege," fan Elizabeth Ekpn said.
"I think it's a very good way for the public to see it," Tracey Callaway concurred.
Officials from the New Hope Baptist Church are hammering out the arrangements with the Newark Police Department for Saturday's service, discussing how to handle both the crowds and the dozens of VIPs expected to attend.
The church can seat about 1,500 people; among the invitees, Houston's godmother Aretha Franklin, who might sing.
The superstar was found dead in her Beverly Hills Hotel room on Saturday. Investigators have subpoenaed records from Houston's doctors and pharmacies to figure out whether prescription drugs found in the hotel room contributed to her death.
Bur right now, fans are choosing not to focus on her death, but rather, celebrate her life.

Late last month it was revealed that Sean Combs, the hip-hop mogul better known as Diddy or Puff Daddy, was behind the creation of a new charter school set to open in Harlem this fall. Good for him and good for Harlem. We can never have too many good schools.
But truth to tell, the neighborhood is already awash in successful, high-profile charter schools, including Success Academy, KIPP, Harlem Children's Zone and Democracy Prep, where I'm a senior adviser and civics teacher. Harlem is one of the most robust charter school marketplaces in the country. If Diddy is in it for the long haul and determined to make a difference in for low-income kids of color, let me offer an alternative suggestion: He should lend his name, resources and celebrity aura to lead a revival of urban Catholic schools.
He's perfect for the role. Back when he was still Sean Combs, Diddy attended and graduated from Mount Saint Michael Academy, a Catholic school in The Bronx. He must have thought highly of the education he received, since he sent at least one of his children to Catholic school too. Diddy's oldest son, Justin, was a standout athlete at...
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires a "negotiated rulemaking" process whenever the Department of Education issues regulations under parts of the law pertaining to assessments, academic standards, and several other topics. This process requires a panel of experts, which the agency assembled in March. Their work thus far (they've met twice) has revealed major problems on the regulatory front concerning gifted and high-achieving students. These issues need immediate attention, including close scrutiny by the lawmakers who crafted ESSA.
As Education Week explains the process, panel members "essentially get together in a room and try to hammer out an agreement with the department. If the process fails, which it often does, the feds go back to the drawing board and negotiate through the regular process, which involves releasing a draft rule, getting comments on it, and then putting out a final rule." The Department of Education assists this process with issues papers (which provide background), discussion questions, and draft regulatory language that the panel can edit based on its discussions.
Last week, the group tackled assessments, an area of ESSA that directly affects gifted and high-achieving students. Unfortunately, in the twenty-plus pages of draft regulations and seven issue papers that accompanied those discussions,...
Princeton University announced last week that it would preserve the name of Woodrow Wilson on several buildings and programs, though it had plenty of reasons to do otherwise. In his years leading the university and, later, the United States, Wilson acted as a vehicle for racist impulses that right-thinking people now find abhorrent. Outraged undergraduates, marinated in the activist pique so prevalent on American campuses, walked out of class this fall in protest against what they deemed maltreatment of minority students. A handful staged a sit-in in the office of the school's current president, Christopher Eisgruber, who responded by pledging to study the issue of Wilson's legacy. By November, the call for change was being echoed in the New York Times editorial page.
Ultimately, it went unheeded. The special committee assembled by Princeton's trustees to decide the issue recommended against expunging Wilson's name from a residence hall and the famed school of international relations. Instead, the university will initiate an effort to diversify campus art, encourage more minority students to pursue graduate degrees, and explore the truth of the former president's impact on American life. His presence at Princeton is secure, at least for now.
Ask any group of high school teachers, and they will report that the most frequently heard question in their classrooms is, "When are we ever gonna use this?" In a traditional college prep program, the honest answer is usually, "Maybe when you get to the university." But in the real world? Depending on the class, maybe not at all.
However, in high-quality Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, that question is moot. Students learn skills that will help them prepare for stable careers and success in a modern, global, and competitive economy. A student who wants a future in architecture doesn't question his first drafting course in high school. One interested in aerospace sees value in her introduction to engineering design class. An aspiring medical professional is enthusiastic, not indifferent, about high school anatomy.
Unfortunately for millions of American students, CTE is not a meaningful part of their high school experience. Instead, they are shuffled through large, bureaucratized schools that do not adequately prepare them for anything, be it college, career, or both.
In large part, this is because CTE has been chronically neglected by American education leaders and policymakers. Many CTE advocates suspect that it's because of the damaged...
Social Impact Bonds (SIB), also known as "pay for success" loans, are a novel form of financing social service interventions, including education initiatives. First piloted six years ago in the United Kingdom and now making their way to the United States, SIBs aim to leverage private funding to start new programs or scale proven ones. Broadly speaking, the instrument works like this: Private lenders and philanthropists deliver dollars—the bond—to a nonprofit provider that, in turn, implements the intervention. A government agency pays back the bond principal with interest, but only if the program achieves pre-specified results.
In its ideal form, an SIB has the potential to be a triple win: Governments receive risk-free funding to test or expand social programs that could help them save money; investors reap a financial return if the program works; and providers gain access to new sources of funding. To ensure that the deal will benefit all parties, due diligence occurs on the front end, including selecting a program provider, estimating government savings, and developing an evaluation method.
To date, the discussion on SIBs has been largely conceptual, engaging both supporters and skeptics alike. But a fascinating new report written by MDRC President Gordon Berlin provides a first-hand...
In recent years, a few early childhood advocates have blasted the Common Core State Standards for their "harmful" effects on kindergarteners, particularly in reading. While a careful examination of the standards reveals this claim to be overstated—and overheated—the notion that we are killing kindergarten was gaining traction long before Common Core came onto the scene. Until now, this narrative has been informed largely by anecdotal evidence, idealism, and good old-fashioned nostalgia. Noting that "surprisingly little empirical evidence" has been gathered on the changing nature of kindergarten classrooms, this paper attempts to fill the void by comparing kindergarten and first-grade classrooms in 1998 and 2010—capturing the changes in teachers' perceptions of kindergarten over time.
Using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, researchers compared survey response data from public school kindergarten teachers in 1998 and 2010 to investigate changes across five dimensions: teachers' beliefs about school readiness, curricular focus and use of time, classroom materials, pedagogical approach, and assessment practices.
Overall, researchers found that kindergarten has indeed become more like first grade. When asked to rate the importance of thirteen school readiness skills, 2010 teachers tended to rate all of them as more important than their 1998 counterparts had. This was true for academic skills (identifying letters,...
A recent study released by NCES compares the competencies and skill levels of U.S. adults to their counterparts in foreign countries. The study relies heavily on the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), which tests three "domains": literacy, numeracy, and problem solving.
Researchers looked at data from 2012 and 2014 on a representative sample of 8,670 U.S. households—including PIAAC test scores, educational attainment, employment status, and more. They split the sample into three subgroups: unemployed adults (ages 16–65), employed young adults (ages 16–34), and employed older adults (ages 66–74).
Analysts found that, compared to people in other participating countries, U.S. adults between the ages of 16 and 65 have lower average PIAAC scale scores in numeracy and problem solving. American young people are less ready for college and career, and larger percentages of them scored in PIAAC's lowest level in literacy, numeracy, and problem solving.
Moreover, compared to the international average, U.S. students who graduate high school typically only possess reading, math, and problem solving skills needed to complete brief and simple tasks in the workplace. And 69 percent of unemployed young adults in the United States scored at PIAAC's lowest level in problem solving. That's far...
Allow me to let you in on a little secret from deep inside the nation's policy making machinery: Policy elites view the rise of Donald Trump—the candidate and everything he stands for—with equal parts alarm and revulsion. That's probably not much of a secret. A campaign that draws its oxygen from anti-elite sentiments probably doesn't expect much attention or affection from think tanks and serious people in education reform. Not surprisingly, there hasn't been much.
But it's well past time to start thinking seriously about education reform in the Trump era. Even if 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue becomes the one piece of real estate destined never to be festooned with the candidate's surname, the restive 2016 campaign should serve as a wake-up call. Broad swaths of Americans feel disconnected from public institutions and are convinced that policy makers don't understand or much care about them.
Education policy has done little to bridge that divide. When downwardly mobile white, working-class Americans hear us talking about education reform, it's a fair bet they don't think we're talking about them and their children. And they're not mistaken. The priorities and language of reformers—achievement gaps, no-excuses schools, social justice, and the "civil rights issue of our...
Policy wonks and political prognosticators have begun to forecast the collateral damage that is apt to follow if Donald Trump manages—in spite of himself, and notwithstanding his Wisconsin setback—to win the Republican nomination, damaging not only GOP prospects for retrieving the White House but also the party's odds of prevailing in innumerable races for Congress and for state (and even local) leadership. Following in the wake of those generally dire prognostications are early conjectures about the policy shifts that may ensue in sundry realms both international and domestic if Democrats are positioned to chart the future course.
For education reformers parsing this prospect, it's useful first to recall the many worthy changes that followed the GOP's 2010 sweep of a galaxy of state and federal offices (obviously omitting the one that's ovular). Though nothing in the list below is (from my perspective) perfect, it's hard to picture many—perhaps any—of these things happening had Republicans not been in positions of influence:
How often have you heard, "Gifted students will do fine on their own?" This is just one of the many myths that become barriers to properly educating millions of high-potential students. The following is a list of the most prevalent myths in gifted education, accompanied by evidence rebutting each of them. (For a student's perspective, watch The Top 10 Myths in Gifted Education, produced by teens in the Baltimore County Public Schools for the Maryland State Department of Education.)
Myth 1: Gifted students don't need help; they'll do fine on their own
Would you send a star athlete to train for the Olympics without a coach? Gifted students need guidance from well-trained teachers who challenge and support them in order to fully develop their abilities. Many gifted students may be so far ahead of their same-age peers that they know more than half of the grade-level curriculum before the school year begins. Their resulting boredom and frustration can lead to low achievement, despondency, or unhealthy work habits. The role of the teacher is crucial for spotting and nurturing talents in school.
Myth 2: Teachers challenge all the students, so gifted kids will be fine in the regular classroom
Although teachers...

Vacuum aspiration, also called suction aspiration, is a minor surgical procedure used to clear the contents of the uterus during the first trimester of pregnancy. A thin, hollow tube (cannula) is inserted into the uterus. Then a specially designed syringe or pump is used to suction out all tissue contained in the uterus.
Manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) can be used between 5 and 12 weeks after the last menstrual period. A hollow tube is passed through the cervix and into the uterus, and a handheld syringe is used to apply suction through the thin tube. MVA can be done safely in a clinic or medical office setting.
Machine vacuum aspiration is the most common abortion method used in the first 5 to 12 weeks of pregnancy. First, the cervix is opened (dilated) and antibiotics are given to prevent infection. A hollow tube (attached to a bottle and pump) is then passed into the uterus. The pump is turned on, and all tissue is gently removed from the uterus.
Vacuum aspiration is also used to empty the uterus after an incomplete miscarriage.

Wincor Nixdorf preferred service provider for Tesco in Europe
Wincor Nixdorf has been chosen to provide services to Tesco in seven European countries
In addition to approximately 850 stores in central and Eastern Europe, Wincor Nixdorf will now provide services for nearly 2700 stores in Tesco's home markets. Wincor Nixdorf will be responsible for the procurement, integration and repair of all IT equipment, and manage IT services for Tesco's store opening and refurbishment programme. As the preferred system integrator, Wincor Nixdorf will be a strategic service partner for Tesco and will deliver standardized services for all seven countries.
"The key factor in our success was our desire and willingness to support Tesco globally. We also demonstrated our commitment to continuous improvement of customer service building on the excellent results we have delivered in Eastern Europe," says Craig Bevan, Global Account General Manager for Tesco at Wincor Nixdorf.
Wincor Nixdorf will provide Tesco with all services connected with the maintenance and repair of POS systems and their peripherals, store-specific IT and network infrastructures. All on-site service calls will be centrally co-ordinated by Wincor Nixdorf. This makes communication and co-ordination between Tesco and service providers simpler since Wincor Nixdorf is the sole point of contact.
In addition, Wincor Nixdorf will be supporting Tesco with installation and implementation services for hardware and software, and with complete project and rollout management of all IT services when stores are opened or renewed across Europe – a service that will streamline Tesco's rapid expansion in the region.
This service model has operated successfully in Eastern Europe resulting in higher availability and less down-time, and the new contract will combine these additional benefits with the already best of breed processes which exist in the UK and Ireland, ultimately helping Tesco provide the highest standards of service to its customers.
"Tesco and Wincor Nixdorf make natural partners due to our mutual drive towards global standardization, continuous service improvement and increasing customer satisfaction"
"We started on a journey with Wincor Nixdorf when they started looking after our IT equipment in our stores in the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia. We added Turkey last year and are very pleased to now award them a contract to include the UK and Republic of Ireland," says James McNulty, Head of IT Procurement at Tesco. Tesco went through an extensive tender process to find a partner it could trust to support its Store IT.
McNulty adds "Wincor are a great fit for Tesco and have helped us to standardize our operations and control our costs more effectively. We trust Wincor to deliver the service we need and to act as a true partner".
Tesco will also be in attendance at Wincor World 2012 (http://www.wincor-

Judge Mitchell Hattaway invites you to insert your own anime cliché here.
The Charge
Harry never had it this hard!
The Case
Kuzuki Shikimori is a dorky high-school student who can't get a girl to give him the time of day (duh—this is an anime series we're talking about here). Kuzuki attends the prestigious Aoi High School, a campus for students with magical abilities. Most people in Kuzuki's day and age are able to use magic, but their specific abilities differ, as does the number of times any particular person can cast a spell. The average number of spells for an Aoi student is 8,000. Kuzuki, on the other hand, can only use his talents eight times—after that he becomes a pile of ash. Thing is, many of Kuzuki's ancestors were powerful magicians, which means their cumulative abilities have been channeled into a latent magical power that now resides within Kuzuki's genes; when word of this gets out, every girl in school suddenly wants a chance to get into his pants.
The first four episodes of Maburaho are included on this release. Here's a brief rundown:
• Episode 1: "I Showed Up"
• Episode 2: "It Fell"
• Episode 3: "It Appeared"
• Episode 4: "I Saw It"
Maburaho kept me entertained while I was watching it, but I stopped thinking about it the moment it was over. It's not a bad show, but it's not particularly distinguished, either. There's nothing really original about the characters or the situations. That being said, it's reasonably fast paced, doesn't take itself seriously, and, for those who are into this sort of thing, showcases a large number of well-endowed young women in various stages of undress (fan service is quite possibly this show's primary reason for being). There's just one thing I don't get: Kuzuki has all of these women throwing themselves at him, but he spends a lot of time running away from them. What's wrong with him? I don't see what the problem is. What's so bad about a bunch of hot young women who want to make the beast with two backs? Better yet, imagine all of the money he could make offering stud services. Ah, maybe it's a cultural thing.
ADV's presentation here is quite nice. The transfer is extremely fine—it's clean and clear, with bright, bold colors. The Japanese stereo track is pretty much anchored to the screen, with very little in the way of channel separation. The 5.1 English track (which contains some very misguided dubbing) won't blow you away, although it does a nice job of opening up the sound. Extras include some production sketches, Japanese promo spots for the show's original broadcast, previews for other ADV releases, and an interview with Richard Kim, the man responsible for the show's English translation (this is a pretty interesting little feature, even if Kim does have a tendency to ramble). You also get an insert designed to resemble an issue of Aoi High's school newspaper (which isn't so interesting).
Maburaho is a marginally entertaining show, but I doubt it will ever grow beyond its status as a pleasant enough time waster. I can't recommend an outright purchase, but a rental wouldn't be out of the question. Be warned: I'd advise that anyone interested in the series take the episodes one at a time; there doesn't appear to be any sort of arc to the stories, so watching them in one sitting can be a little tedious.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Maburaho: Bewitched And Bewildered (Volume 1) a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

She is most likely to like boys with the letters c,s,k,n,p,w. Once you meet her you will be stunned by her beauty!! 👌
Elizah is so sweet!

Five thousand years old, Ayurvedic massage has been shown to still the mind and body by lowering metabolic rates and inspiring feelings of peace and calm. Often administered as a part of a three-, five-, or seven-day program, these treatments are an integral part of deep cleansing, rejuvenation, and life-extension Ayurvedic programs called panchakarma or kya kalpa. This book by a noted practitioner features more than 15 of these treatments, each described in step-by-step detail and some synchronized with two therapists for up to two hours in length. It provides the reader with all the tools necessary to begin Ayurvedic treatments as a part of a spa menu or massage therapy program.

Vexel art is very similar to vector art in terms of appearance. It typically features sharp-edged lines and areas of flat color, or smooth gradient fills. The word 'vexel' was coined from a combination of "vector" and "pixel". The main difference between vexel art and vector art is that vexel artwork is rasterized....

Significant advances have been made in analytical technology for the characterization and identification of particles present in pharmaceutical products. With these advances comes a tremendous amount of new data with which to characterize biologics, ...
Samples for zeta potential measurements need to be optically clear and may require dilution. The way in which the dilution is performed is absolutely critical in determining the zeta potential value measured.
Multiple scattering refers to the phenomenon where photons scattered from the sample are re-scattered from neighboring particles prior to reaching the instrument detector.
Number fluctuations are defined as variations in the number of particles within the scattering volume during the course of a dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurement.

I've been following some of the discussions on this forum regarding the future migration of Panoramio to Views, and I would like to expand on Evan's statement with some context on how Panoramio and Views fit into the larger picture. First, let me be clear that we will provide an easy way for you to migrate all your Panoramio photos, their metadata, and their viewcounts to Views. Your photos will be saved into public albums in Google+ and we will provide you a Google Drive storage bonus to cover the additional data usage. And, when we shut down Panoramio, if you do not wish to move your photos over to Views, you can simply download them and not migrate. As the lead for Google Maps, a co-founder of Google Earth, and a passionate photographer, I've always had a great appreciation and love for the Panoramio community. The photos in Panoramio have helped countless people in Google Maps and Google Search to make decisions about where to travel. I believe Views is an important next step for us to grow the photography community to better serve the one billion people who use Google Maps every month. I want everyone to understand why we made the very difficult decision to migrate Panoramio to Views. Our reasons fall into the following categories: new requirements that mobile users have when using Google Maps increased availability of affordable GPS-enabled cameras, primarily smartphones technical limitations of old infrastructure The world has gone mobile. Smartphone growth is incredible. Google Maps has now been installed on over one BILLION Android and iOS devices. People use our mobile apps to navigate, but also to make daily decisions about where to go (restaurants, hiking trails, hotels, and more). People need to see photos for these locations. Sharing photos on Views and Google Maps is also about helping you create a beautiful photo map of all the places you go and helping you remember your experiences there (and perhaps even to help guide a friend). The more often you take photos, the better your map helps you. And, if you do professional work for clients, it's about giving you more exposure to help you monetize your work and helping them maximize visibility for potential customers. When Panoramio began, few people had smartphones and nobody shared photos from them. Now most of us have phones in our pockets with optics and image processing abilities that produce excellent photos. Talented photographers everywhere are turning to smartphones as "their other camera" producing amazing images that challenge people's expectations of what's possible. And, non-photographers with a little creativity are discovering they too can now create good photos with their phone. And, of course, all of these devices have GPS, making it easier than ever to add photos to a map. Billions of smart phones are the key to enabling Google Maps to provide you with accurate, comprehensive, and recent photos that help you make decisions about where to go or recognize the location when you get there. Finally, Panoramio is built on old infrastructure that can no longer be maintained. We chose to rebuild it, and we did so in Views. This will enable us to provide more reliable services and far more features as the community grows. So, let's get specific about what we're doing... Here are the details about the migration to Views: Curation tools to customize your profile, since we recognize that photographers want control over how their work is displayed. This will include something like the "Best" feature that Panoramio has today. An easy-to-use migration flow to bring your full resolution Panoramio photos, metadata, and viewcounts into Views. If you've already exported Panoramio photos to Google+, you may have duplicates, but our album naming schema should make this easy for you to manage. We will migrate your viewcounts! For now, we suggest leaving your Panoramio photos where they are, but trying out Views for some new photos. When the migration flow is enabled, you'll avoid more duplication and your viewcounts will be retained. If you choose, your photos that remain on Panoramio un-migrated will continue to be seen on Google Earth and Google Maps (far beyond the migration) if they are associated with a Google account. The following data and features will not be migrated: Groups (which has not been popular in Panoramio) Favorite photographers (though we're considering similar features) Comments (since we can't move comments to Views for those who don't migrate) Thank you for being part of the Panoramio community and contributing your photos to help others explore the world. As we migrate to Views, which is a very new product, I assure you we will not do so until we believe the communities needs are met.
Thank you,
Brian McClendon Vice President, Google Maps

I at one point installed a plug-in named FireStats used for tracking page hits. I've since uninstalled the plug-in and removed all files. However, when I go the admin dashboard, all I see is a Firestats control panel. Other than that, everything is fine.
I used a text search program to look in all of the files in my blog folder. It didn't find any strings matching *firestats*. I have no idea where my admin page keeps getting a reference to the firestats admin. Perhaps from the database? But what is telling it to do that if all references are gone?
I did contact the author and after a few emails, we couldn't determine how to get rid of it. The version displayed is FireStats 0.9.9-beta. I'm using WP 2.0.5. Any suggestions?

DJ Gallo's NFL Hangover, Week 12
Peyton Manning is struggling. The Colts have lost three of four, and in those three losses he has nine interceptions and was badly outplayed in each game by his counterpart on the other sideline. Manning is still a top quarterback, of course, but he's no longer playing like the best in the game.
Here are my rankings of the quarterbacks playing the best in the NFL right now, of which there can be no debate so don't even try to pretend to disagree.
#10 -- Sam Bradford
Pros: He has all the tools and he seems to get better every week.
Cons: He's a quarterback who was picked No. 1 overall in the draft. Those guys usually stink. He'll have to play above his head to convince people he's not the next JaDavidcarson Palmstaffsmithcouch.
#9 -- Matt Cassel
Pros: Over the past three weeks he's put up better numbers than any quarterback in football with 10 touchdowns and no interceptions.
Cons: Hmm. Where did this improvement in play come from all of a sudden? He might be cheating. These Bill Belichick protégés seem to be prone to that.
#8 -- Aaron Rodgers
Pros: Has all the talent in the world and is surrounded by a talented cast.
Cons: He's never won anything. To be considered an elite quarterback, he needs to start showing more results on the field. Simply not being Brett Favre -- while great and appreciated -- probably isn't enough to carry him anymore.
#7 -- Peyton Manning
Pros: He's Peyton Manning. His praises have been sung a few times before.
Cons: He's seven years younger than Brett Favre, but trails him by only 142 interceptions for the all-time record and is closing fast.
#6 -- Michael Vick
Pros: He has shown glimpses this year of the quarterback everyone thought he had the potential to be.
Cons: You fear that no matter how well Vick plays, no matter how much personal growth he shows, that he'll be done in at the end by coach Andy Reid's clock management. In fact, if Reid was the warden at Leavenworth, Vick would probably still be sitting there long after he was supposed to have been released.
#5 -- Matt Ryan
Pros: He stays calm and rarely makes mistakes, but can still go up top for a big play.
Cons: His complete lack of rhythm suggests he could struggle if forced out of the pocket. All pass rushes against Ryan should probably be designed by a dance choreographer to make him feel uncomfortable.
#4 -- Drew Brees
Pros: Despite getting little fanfare the year after winning Super Bowl MVP, Brees has led the Saints to the second-best record in the NFC and is tied for the league lead in touchdown passes.
Cons: That's sort of the concerning part. When is the Madden jinx going to kick in? The longer it takes, the more it could destroy New Orleans' season. Maybe he should just get it over with and cut his arm off like that climber in "127 Hours." I'm sure it could be reattached and healed by the playoffs.
#3 -- Philip Rivers
Pros: He is remarkably accurate and has put up big numbers despite playing with a group of no-name receivers and backs all season.
Cons: The Chargers' schedule and division always makes their offense -- and Rivers -- look far more potent than they really are. The AFC West is like the WAC of the NFL. And no matter how well Rivers plays, he might get Brotzman'd when it really matters. It's happened before.
#2 -- Ben Roethlisberger
Pros: He is a proven winner and playmaker and he can put up gaudy stats like all the other top passers when the game requires.
Cons: It costs only $25,000 to punch Ben Roethlisberger in the face 10 seconds after the play is over? Pittsburgh's first-round playoff opponent shouldn't let one series go by without giving this a try.
#1 -- Tom Brady
Pros: As long as he has time in the pocket, Brady can pick any defense apart.
Cons: The Super Bowl is on Feb. 6 in Dallas this year. Fashion Week in New York starts on Feb. 10. If the Patriots make it to the Super Bowl, it's doubtful Brady's mind will be on the game.
This Week's Horrible Fantasy Team That Crushed Your Fantasy Team
Jay Cutler, QB, Bears -- 14-for-21, 247 yards, 4 TD
Maurice Morris, RB, Lions -- 75 total yards, 2 TD
Chris Ivory, RB, Saints -- 7 carries, 38 yards, 2 TD
Ben Obomanu, WR, Seahawks -- 5 catches, 159 yards, TD
Brad Smith, WR, Jets -- 78 total yards, 2 TD
Billy Bajema, TE, Rams -- 3 catches, 32 yards, 2 TD
Stat of the Week
11 -- With three more rushing touchdowns on Sunday against the Panthers, Browns running back Peyton Hillis has 11 on the season -- just six short of the Browns' franchise record held by Jim Brown. That's right: Peyton Hillis could break one of Jim Brown's record. I look forward to Hillis one day starring in a remake of "The Dirty Dozen," in which a ragtag group of Cleveland football players commit a drive-killing too-many-men-on-the-field penalty.
Quotes of the Week
"Believe it or not, we were discussing what play and Brett said, 'Hey, let's just run naked,' and I wanted to do something he felt comfortable with."
-- Leslie Frazier, Vikings interim head coach, on Brett Favre picking up a game-clinching first down with his legs
Frazier has been a head coach for only one game, but he's showing a total lack of awareness of the world away from the football field, befitting a coaching veteran. Give him the job, Vikings. He's a keeper.
-- Stevie Johnson, Bills wide receiver, on Twitter after dropping a game-winning touchdown pass against the Steelers
Yes, that's right. Johnson is displeased with God for his big drop, which was one of five for him on the day. And while many are laughing at Johnson's comment, I think it's actually quite refreshing. Athletes credit God for wins and good performances all the time. Maybe it's time God takes the blame for some bad plays, too. Or maybe Stevie Johnson can't catch. I'd ask God myself, but we're not really on speaking terms right now.
