Farmers' Market Recipe
Printer-friendly version
It was a beautiful day at the famers' market yesterday - thank you to all who support the market by stopping by there on a weekly basis. The vendors thank you, too! We can't wait until Februrary when more fruits and vegetables will be season, and the berry flats are back! But, there are plenty of creative dishes that can be concocted with many of the items you currently see at the farmers market. Check out this recipe from Brisbane Planning Commissioner Karen Cunningham who loves to experiment in the kitchen and eat wholesome, colorful dishes!
An Important Reminder
Printer-friendly version
Residential burglaries are on the rise thoughout San Mateo County, and can occur even in Brisbane. Unsecured doors and windows continue to be the favorite method of entry for these criminals. Always lock your car doors and front door when you leave your residence, even if you are home. Criminals will frequently check for unlocked or unsecured doors; don't be a victim in your own home. If you should see a suspicious person, try to get a good description of them. This would include clothing, direction of travel, their car make and model, and if possible, license plate. Immediately call the Brisbane Police Department at (415) 467-1212. Please do not take matters into your own hands. Be aware of your surroundings at all times, reporting any suspicious persons or activity to the Police as soon as possible.

Farmers' Market Reminder
Printer-friendly version
The San Mateo County Department of Public Health, which regulates the safe operations of farmers' markets throughout the County, has made it abundantly clear to the Market Manager that dogs are to not be anywhere near the vendors while the farmers' market is in operation. That means, you should not have your dog with you, even though they're on-leash, while you're picking out your fresh produce, fish, or baked goods. The County oftentimes will drop by unannounced, and has the ability to shut down the market if it is feels is operating under unsafe conditions. So please keep your pooches at bay...maybe have someone watch them near the water and treat bowls that have been set out by West Coast Famers Market Association while you quickly make your purchases. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!

|[TowerTalk] SUMMERY Mast Lenght to Wind Load Question
|email@example.com (RCARIELLO)
|Sat Feb 8 07:25:50 2003
Hello to all, A very hardy thanks to all that replied to my question. I have summarized some of the messages and included below. I hope this information will be as useful to others as is has been to me. Rich AA2MF ------------------------------------------ If you can get an answer from them, try the manufacturer. Years ago a Triex engineer told me at what point above the tower the allowed wind load went to zero (can't remember his name now). He said to do a linear derating from the top of the tower to zero. Sounds reasonable to me. 73 Don K5AQ --------------------------------------- Jim Lux IF you assume identical mast and identical connection to the top of the tower. AND If you assume that the wind speed is the same at both places (not necessarily valid.. average wind speed goes up with height, which is factored into "real" wind loading calculations) If the actual force due to wind remains the same, the bending force at the mast/tower attachment will be 15 times greater, because the same force is acting on a lever arm that is 15 times longer. Superficially, then, the limit would be 1 square foot (based on keeping the bending load the same). However, the mast's equivalent cross section will start to be a significant fraction of the total cross section (a 2" pipe 12 feet long has a 2 square foot cross section) The real question, in a practical situation, will be what's the strength limiting component? Is it the mast strength in flexure? Is it the load on the bearings? In this case how much of the mast sticks into the tower becomes quite important, although... if the moment is 15 times greater, the loads are 15 times greater, assuming the geometry doesn't change. -------------------------------------- The first thing you need to know is your county windspeed rating. You can look it up at <A HREF="http://www.championradio.com">www.championradio.com </A> under Tech Notes. I offer a little program called MARC - the Mast, Antenna, and Rotator Calculator. you can get it at the aforementioned website for ten bucks.

Look at the air lines, and other shippers when Oil is dropping as a buffer.
This is too compelling of a buy down here for the big boys who have a one or 2 year horizon. Doubt it can make it a new 52 week or 7 year low and may well end green today as the big boys are chomping this thing up right now. Who doesn't think this will go back to 50 at some point soon for a nice 25% from here. To much upside for the hedgies to ignore now. A bargin stock price not seen since 2008 with nothing to justify it but rhetoric. No one said it was going to be easy or not be scary. Always darkest just before the dawn.
only buy airlines when they are under stress and only for a trade. losers hold airlines.tr8der2012
RIG will be green todayrelax and buytr8der2012
I am not fretting...I am buying. When all the scared chickens are fretting and whining and panicking, I am buying. That is how you make money. Especially now. With a RSI of 26, RIG is getting severely oversold.

Too often single moms struggle with money. There seems to one problem after another and no real solutions in sight. The problem is especially pervasive during the holiday season. How can you or a single mom you know get through the holidays (or any day) feeling more economically empowered?

KALAMAZOO (AP) — Charlie Todd returned a punt 87 yards for a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter for the game-winning points in Ball State's 22-17 victory over Western Michigan on Tuesday night.
MiQuale Lewis' 3-yard run accounted for Ball State's only offensive touchdown. Ian McGarvey kicked three field goals for the Cardinals (2-10, 2-6 Mid-American).
Tim Hiller completed 33 of 62 passes for 354 yards and a touchdown for the Broncos (5-7, 4-4), but he was intercepted four times.
However, Hiller now has 3,249 passing yards this season and joined Ben Roethlisberger, Chad Pennington and Byron Leftwich as the only quarterbacks in MAC history to throw for 3,000 yards in back-to-back-to-back seasons.
Jordan White caught a TD pass and Brandon West ran 1 yard for a score.
Western Michigan outgained Ball State 463 yards to 226.

Five teams vying for Landry memorial trophy
AMHERST – For the 50th consecutive season the Amherst Little League Baseball Association will host its year-end tournament beginning Saturday at the Amherst Firefighters Little League complex on Croft Street.

Members of the Amherst team include: Cal Hoeg, Brandon Hicks, Ethan Casey, Reese McLean and Luke Carde of the Cumberland Paving Cubs; Jackson Colborne and Reese Blakeney of the Mixers, Graden Chitty, Cole Stevens and Jordan MacKenzie of the Lions and Jackson Comeau, Tyler Baker and Zach Boudreau of the Y's Guys.
Cubs' coach Jeff Hoeg is the head coach.
The Amherst team was selected by a vote of the four A system team coaches. The team also played at a little league tournament in Portland, Maine in early August.
Following is the schedule:
Game A – New Glasgow vs. Riverview, 9 a.m. (Foster Field)
Game B – Richmond vs. Amherst, 9 a.m. (Landry Field)

Swimmers heading to Carbon County got good news on Friday.
The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (PCNR) has reopened the beach at Beltzville State Park near Lehighton.
The lake had closed for swimming activities earlier in the week due to high bacteria levels.
Officials have had to close the lake to swimmers several times this summer because of high bacteria, often blamed on excessive geese poop.

Having dropped his debut LP for Whistla's L2S label last year, bass-step producer Clueless has been quiet for a while now but surfaces in style on this new three-tracker for Frijsfo Beats. "Build" is a driving dubby garage ace, powered along with some crisp and percussion over deep waves of bass looping, while "Dirty Angel" is a more upfront 2-step banger a la DJ Q. The title-tune however is where the real money is - a chaotic Todd Edwards-esque scramble of chopped samples over an edgy yet wildly funky sub-beat.

DETROIT -- Update from Wednesday's Detroit Red Wings practice:
Defenseman Niklas Kronwall (knee) will not play Thursday against San Jose. Forward Tomas Holmstrom (bone bruise in left knee) skated for about 40 minutes before leaving.
Holmstrom said he felt better than the day before but still not that good. He will see how he feels after Thursday's morning skate before determining whether he can play, but it appears doubtful.
Holmstrom expressed concern about whether he will be able to play for Sweden in the Olympics. If he can't play Saturday against Ottawa, he might have to withdraw. In which case, he likely would be replaced by teammate Johan Franzen.
"I felt pretty good to start with and then, I got some pain in my knee,'' Holmstrom said. "We started doing drills and going hard, it was really sore.''
They skated with the same lines they started in Tuesday's game at St. Louis:
Holmstrom (doubtful)
Eaves (out, sprained ankle)
Kronwall (out, knee)
Howard (starting)

Justin Sather: Easter Beach Run
Sadly nothing at all took the reside bait and, following an hour or so, I decided it was time to reel in. Driving about the corner from the Coast Guard Station, off Morris Island Road, we followed the signs for the Rip Ryder Monomoy Island Ferry. The topography of Myrtle Beach simply does not allow for sandbars. Justin Sather On Monday, August 13 a nine year old boy was bitten at Isle of Palms County Park and three hours later a 30 year old man was bitten outside the Wild Dunes region. Meanwhile, the three-hook setup had got me dozens of pin whiting. There had been fresh tracks around our tents every morning for 3 days at Nissen Bight and a number of tracks on the trail to the trailhead.
To check out the tide pools, drive to the furthest parking lot at Indian Beach in Ecola State Park. It was a good sight, but I actually wanted one thing bigger. This is also a paradise for bird lovers, and is home to the stunning puffin. Following The Wolves Of Cape Scott Provincial Park On a recent trip to the North Coast Trail and Cape Scott Provincial Park, my son, my companion, and I often encountered tracks on the beaches that resembled the tracks of a big dog.

According to them there has been a steady enhance in shark attacks, reaching it's peak in the 90s and slowly leveling off.

It's no secret that Seattle has a lot of great parks supplying a wide range in the way of scenery and activities. With two bites in 1 day it may possibly make vacationers feel twice before taking dip in Myrtle Beach waters, when the most recent attacks occurred in the shallows. The most well-known scuba diving spots in the Bahamas are - the Berry Islands, Bimini, Abacus, Freeport and San Salvador. With the news reporting much more and far more shark attacks at our beaches it's tough not to have the Jaws theme running via your head anytime you step into the water.
A single factor is assured, however, and that is that going to the North Coast Trail and Cape Scott Park offers a large opportunity to see any or all of these animals in their native habitat. Justin Sather Even though the beach has never ever developed a lunker for me, there is just anything particular about becoming there and enjoying a deep-set feeling of contentment and properly-being when I am perched on my tackle box watching the tips of my sea fishing rods. If you want to avail all the most modern day conveniences, you may opt staying in 5 Star Hotels in India.

On the one hand, columnist Susan Nielsen says Monica Wehby would raise the collective IQ of the U.S. Senate ("Beating Wehby won't be brain surgery, either," April 20). On the other hand, she says Wehby believes Obamacare is bad for Oregon. Am I witnessing a bit of cognitive dissonance here?
We already have enough right-wing doctors in Congress. Wehby spent years training to be a pediatric neurosurgeon. Why should Oregon voters assist her in abandoning a vital profession for one for which she has few qualifications?

He stated that it is the generation of Americans born after 1990, but he is shy by about a decade. In reviewing many sources, general consensus states that the Millennial Generation (formerly known as Generation Y) is composed of Americans born between 1982 and 2004.
The older half of this generation also participates in quiz-taking now, as we had done when they were popular the first time on Myspace in the early aughts.

Boy Scouts ideals
According to the Boy Scouts of America mission, the organization strives to "instill" within all scouts the following ideals: trust, loyalty, helpfulness, friendliness, courteousness, kindness, obedience, cheerfulness, thriftiness, bravery, cleanliness and reverence.
In the aftermath of the organization refusing to recognize a troop with an openly gay leader in Washington, I am struggling to find signs of any of the aforementioned characteristics being exhibited by the Boys Scouts of America.
Geoffrey McGrath, scoutmaster of about 15 boys associated with Rainier Beach United Methodist Church, is an Eagle Scout himself who has dutifully served his diverse troop. He is a role model for the young men under his tutelage and, thus, his sexual preference should not play a factor in assessing his capacity to train future leaders.
The actions taken by the BSA stand in stark contrast to the ideals the organization claims to promote. It is time that the BSA realized that leadership is not defined by age, gender or sexual orientation but rather the desire to incite positive change.

PERS payments
Regarding the article "Aliotti receiving almost $250K a year from PERS" (April 19):
Ted Sickinger aptly points out that neither retired coach Mike Bellotti nor Nick Aliotti will have to worry in their old age, as they will receive a combined $760,000 in retirement benefits each and every year. That's more than enough to keep them from looking impoverished when playing golf at their local private clubs.
This is more than enough to hire three psychiatrists at Oregon Health & Science University who could spend their time working on the insanity demonstrated by our Legislature and the PERS board in allowing such nonsense to occur in the state's retirement system.

Tired Timbers?
Regarding the article "Same sad song for winless Timbers" (April 20):
Having been raised on American sports, I am fascinated by the terminology of soccer.
Coach Caleb Porter's comments on concepts of width, structure, pace and spacing are always informative.
It has been my experience that teams that lose leads or games late in a contest usually suffer from poor conditioning. A lack of stamina can cause the mental and physical errors that we are witnessing this season.
Do the miles, lads, and the rest will take care of itself.

Timothy Recuber, lecturer in the Writing Program at Princeton University, spoke about using WordPress as a platform for student writing in his WRI 128/129 courses. The course, entitled 'Witnessing Disaster', investigates media depictions of disaster and human suffering. In the assignment for which WordPress was used, Dr. Recuber asked students to "envision an alternative way of representing the suffering of others by creating a website, online memorial, or blog devoted to the disaster or tragedy that you research this semester". The students, having chosen and written about significant events previously in the semester, expanded upon their research by posting writings, videos, images, and sound recordings to the course blog. As a supplement to the more formal writing done during the semester, the blog was intended to provide a more creative outlet for the students. Continue reading

Using Your Tablet in the Classroom: An App Summary
We just recently gave a talk about using tablets in the classroom for a Lunch and Learn session here at Princeton. The focus was to address how an instructor can not only use their tablet device for their personal life, but cross over and use the same device in the classroom to teach.
Tablets are becoming more and more popular with instructors and they are opting for them instead of carrying a laptop around. Once instructors get use to using the iPad or any tablet device for their daily personal tasks, it only makes sense that instructors would want to start venturing into use the tablet device for lecture and course work. Worldwide media tablet sales to end users are forecast to total 118.9 million units in 2012, a 98 percent increase from 2011 sales of 60 million units, according to Gartner, Inc. Tablet use in the classroom also goes in the vein of the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) movement which we have been seeing for years with students and instructors bringing their own laptops to class.
Below we have a summary of apps we tested (mostly iPad but a few can be found in the Google Play Store). We have also categorized them by topic. They are listed below: Continue reading

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama - A broken left fibula put a dent on Connor Reed's senior season, but the Gardendale athlete looks to be full speed ahead when he suits up for UAB next fall.
Reed committed to UAB last summer after a strong performance in the 7-on-7 team camps, but suffered the injury in Gardendale's jamboree. He missed the first half of the season, and estimated that he wasn't back to 100 percent until Gardendale's first-round playoff loss to Tuscaloosa County.
"Had that not happened, he would have had a great season," Gardendale head coach Chris Fancher said. "I did not see a better slot receiver all summer in the 7 on 7s, and I saw every team in our area. He would have had 70 or 80 catches this year had he not got hurt. It really hurt us because he was a major weapon."
Reed accounted for six touchdowns, he said. He caught 15 passes for 129 yards and had rushing, receiving and passing touchdowns. Reed will play in the slot in college. He was clocked at a 4.41 before the injury, and was timed at 4.5 a few weeks ago.
"I'm back to normal now," Reed said. "I'm just ready to come in and win a conference championship. Coach (Garrick) McGee said he likes what he sees. He's looking for a quick twitch guy in the slot."
Reed, who wants to major in exercise science and be a college strength and conditioning coach, was also awarded the team's Lifter of the Year for his work in the weight room. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Reed bench presses 290 and power cleans 305 pounds.
"It won't take long for people to realize that he's the real deal," Fancher said. "He's also a great kick returner. There's so many things he can do for you. He's really a good player."
Reed committed to UAB last summer, but also received heavy interest from Troy and Jacksonville State. He'll join teammate Jordan Howard, a running back who committed to UAB over the weekend.
"I want to go there to win a conference championship," Reed said. "I like what coach McGee has going for them."

'Develop scientific attitude among students'
The national childrens science convention not only develops research attitude among the children but also helps to mould them into future scientists, said eminent writer Prof M R Nagaraj.
He was speaking after inaugurating a district-level workshop for teachers as a preparation for the 17th national children's science convention under the aegis of Rajya Vijnana Parishat, local Rotary Club, Vivekananda PU College here on Saturday.
The teachers should encourage the students to develop scientific temperament, he advised. He said the teachers should guide their students to prepare quality research papers on the environmental hazards on the earth.
Zilla Panchayat member V P Shashidhar said teachers have a vital role in creating awareness among the public regarding environment protection.
Releasing a booklet on the convention, Rotary Club President K S Rajashekhar said the workshops are helpful to create environment awareness among the members of the public.
The college administrative board president N N Shambhulingappa presided. District convener T G Premkumar delivered an introductory address.

Paul Kukla spotted an actual TV ad promoting the Winter Classic II during last night's NFL broadcast on NBC, and he posted the following press release from the NHL's media website:
December 1, Kukla's Korner: The National Hockey League (NHL), in collaboration with NBC, CBC and RDS, has released a new tune-in marketing campaign to promote the upcoming NHL Winter Classic™ 2009 game on New Year's Day at Wrigley Field. The TV spot, backed by the singing of the late, legendary baseball broadcaster Harry Caray and his iconic version of "Take Me Out To the Ball Game," debuted Sunday in the U.S. on the "NBC Sunday Night Football Game" between the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings. NBC's Bob Costas narrates the U.S. version. This marks the first time that the League and its rights-holders have worked together to create a universal campaign for a single event.
The creative begins with images of various Blackhawks and Red Wings as they prepare for NHL Winter Classic 2009 and pays tribute to the once-in-a-lifetime meshing of NHL hockey and Wrigley Field while featuring pre-game routine and rituals of players from the Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings, the teams competing in this season's NHL Winter Classic 2009. Chicago Blackhawks Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp, James Wisniewski and coach Joel Quenneville and Detroit Red Wings Nicklas Lidstrom, Henrik Zetterberg, Marian Hossa, Pavel Datsyuk and Chris Osgood are highlighted, with a final cut to the exterior of Wrigley Field on a snowy day.
The campaign is now running on NBC, RDS, VERSUS, NHL Network, regional broadcast carriers, NHL.com and other digital sites. CBC will begin airing the spot on Dec. 15th. This campaign also will lives through digital banners and outdoor billboards in the Chicago market.
"The Winter Classic on New Year's Day is a unique event for hockey fans everywhere. This ad speaks to the excitement and magnitude of this game. It's the sport returning to its roots, featuring two 'Original Six' teams playing under the elements in Wrigley Field--one of the most historic venues in the world," said Brian Jennings, Executive Vice President of Marketing, NHL. "We are especially proud to have created this spot with NBC, CBC and RDS to produce one unified voice for this event which, for one day, brings together hockey fans of every team to celebrate the game."

AMD Cuts APU Prices and Q3 Results Fallout
Subject: Processors | October 22, 2014 - 10:02 PM | Josh Walrath
Tagged: Richland, Q3 results, lisa su, Kaveri, APU, amd, A10 7850K
While AMD made a small profit last quarter, the Q4 outlook from the company is not nearly as rosy. AMD estimates that Q4 revenues will be around 12% lower than Q3, making for a rare drop in what is typically a robust season for sales. Unlike Intel, AMD is seeing a very soft PC market for their products. Intel so far has been able to deliver parts that are as fast, if not faster than the latest APUs, but they also feature lower TDPs while at a comparable price. The one area that AMD has a significant advantage is in terms of 3D performance and better driver support.
To keep the chips selling during this very important quarter, AMD is cutting the prices on their entire lineup of FM2+ parts. This includes the entire Kaveri based lineup from the top end A10-7850K to the A6-7400K. AMD is also cutting the prices on the previous Richland based parts, which include the A10-6800K. Also of interest is that buyers of A10 APUs will be able to select one of three game titles (Murdered: Soul Suspect, Thief, or Sniper Elite 3) for free, or use the included code to purchase Corel's Aftershot Pro 2 for only $5.

|Suggested Price
The A10-7850K is a pretty good part overall, though of course it does suffer at the hands of Intel when it comes to pure CPU performance. It still is a pretty quick part that competes well with Intel's 2 core/4 thread chips. 3D performance from the integrated graphics is class leading, and the potential for using that unit for HSA applications is another checkmark for AMD. We have yet to see widespread adoption of HSA, but we are seeing more and more software products coming out that support it. Having tested it out myself, the GPU portion of the APU can be enabled when using a standalone GPU from either AMD or NVIDIA. The Kaveri chips also support TrueAudio, which will show up in more titles throughout the next year.
One aspect of AMD's latest FM2+ platform that cannot be ignored is the pretty robust selection of good and interesting motherboards that are offered at very low prices. Products such as the Gigabyte G1.Sniper.A88X and the MSI A88X-G45 Gaming motherboards are well rounded products that typically sell in the $90 to $110 range. Top end products like the Asus Crossblade Ranger are still quite affordable at around $160. Budget offerings are still pretty decent and they come in the $50 range.
One other product that has sparked interest is the Athlon X4 860K Black Edition. This product is clocked between 3.7 GHz and 4.0 GHz, features two Steamroller modules, and is priced at a very reasonable $90. The downside is that there is no GPU portion enabled, while the upside is that there is potentially more thermal headroom for the CPU portion to be clocked higher than previous A10-7850K parts. This will of course differ from individual chips, but the potential is there to have a pretty solid CPU for a very low price. Add in the low motherboard prices, and this has the making of a nice budget enthusiast system.
So why the cuts now? We can simply look at last week's results for AMD's previous quarter, as well as how the next quarter is stacking up. While AMD made a small profit last quarter, predictions for Q4 look grim. AMD is looking at around a 12% decrease in revenue, as stated above. AMD has a choice in that they can keep ASPs higher, but risk shipping less product in the very important 4th quarter; or they can sacrifice ASPs and potentially ship a lot more product. The end result of cutting the prices on their entire line of APUs will be of course lower ASPs, but a higher volume of parts being shipped and sold. In terms of cash flow, it is likely more important to see parts flowing rather than having higher inventories with a higher ASP. This also means that more APUs being sold will mean more motherboards from their partners moving through the channel.
Intel does have several huge advantages over AMD in that they have a very solid 22 nm process, a huge workforce that can hand tune their processors, and enough marketing money to make any company other than Apple squirm. AMD is at the mercy of the pure-play foundries in terms of process node tweaks and shrinks. AMD spent a long time at 32 nm PD-SOI before it was able to migrated to 28 nm HKMG. It looks to be 2015 before AMD sees anything below 28 nm for their desktop APUs, but it could be sooner for their smaller APUs and ARM based products on planar 20 nm HKMG processes. We don't know a all of the specifics of the upcoming 16/14nm FinFET products from TSMC, Samsung, and GLOBALFOUNDRIES, so it will be hard to compare/contrast to Intel's 2nd generation 14 nm TriGate line. All we know is that it will most assuredly be better than the current 28 nm HKMG that AMD is stuck at.
Dr. Lisa Su Is AMD's New President and CEO
Subject: Graphics Cards, Processors | October 8, 2014 - 05:54 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: amd
In an abrupt announcement, Rory Read has stepped down from his positions at AMD, leaving them to Dr. Lisa Su. Until today, Mr. Read served as president and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the x86 chip designer and Dr. Su as Chief Operating Officer (COO). Today however, Dr. Su has become president and CEO, and Mr. Read will stay on for a couple of months as an adviser during the transition.
Josh Walrath, editor here at PC Perspective, tweeted that he was "Curious as to why Rory didn't stay on longer? He did some good things there [at AMD], but [it's] very much an unfinished job." I would have to agree. It feels like an odd time, hence the earlier use of the word "abrupt", to have a change in management. AMD restructured just four months ago, which was the occasion for Dr. Su to be promoted to COO. In fact, at least as far as I know, no-one is planned to fill her former position as COO.
These points suggest that she was planned to take over the company for at least several months.
Josh's Thoughts
I have been told that timing is everything. I guess this rings true, but only if you truly know the circumstances around any action. Today's announcement by AMD was odd in its timing, but it was not exactly unexpected. As Scott mentioned above, I was confused by this happening now. I had expected Rory to be in charge for at least another year, if not two. Rory had hinted that he was not planning on being at AMD forever, but was aiming at creating a solid foundation for the company and to help shore up its finances and instill a new culture. While the culture is turning due to pressure from up top as well as a pretty significant personnel cuts, AMD is not quite as nimble yet as they want to be.
Rory's term has seen the return of seasoned veterans like Jim Keller and Raja Koduri. These guys are helping to turn the ship around after some fairly mediocre architecturse on the CPU and GPU sides. While Raja had little to do with GCN, we are seeing some aggressive moves there in terms of features that are making their products much more competitive with NVIDIA. Keller has made some very significant changes to the overall roadmap on the CPU side and I think we will see some very solid improvements in design and execution over the next two years.
Lisa Su was brought in by Rory shortly after he was named CEO. Lisa has a pretty significant background in semiconductors and has made a name for herself in her work with IBM and Freescale. Lisa attained all three of her degrees from MIT. This is not unheard of, but it is uncommon to stay in one academic setting when gaining advanced degrees. Having said that, MIT certainly is the top engineering and science school in the nation (if not the world). I'm sure people from RPI, GT, and CalTech might argue that, but it certainly is an impressive school to have on your resume.
Dr. Su has seemingly been groomed for this transition for quite some time now. She went from a VP to COO rather quickly, and is now shouldering the burden of being CEO. Lisa has been on quite a few of the quarterly conference calls and taking questions. She also serves on the Board of Directors at Analog Devices.
I think that Lisa will continue along the same path that Rory set out, but she will likely bring a few new wrinkles due to her experience with semiconductor design and R&D at IBM. We can only hope that this won't become a Dirk Meyer 2.0 type situation where a successful engineer and CPU architect could not change the course of the company after the disastrous reign of Hector Ruiz. I do not think that this will be the case, as Rory did not leave the mess that Hector did. I also believe that Lisa has more business sense and acumen than Dirk did.
This change, at this time, has provided some instability in the markets when regarding AMD. Some weeks ago AMD was at a near high for the year at around $4.66 per share. Right now it is hovering at $3.28. I was questioning why the stock price was going down, and it seems that my question was answered. One way or the other, rumors of Rory taking off reached investors' ears and we saw a rapid decline in share price. We have yet to see what Q3 earnings look like now that Rory has rather abruptly left his position, but people are pessimistic as to what will be announced with such a sudden departure.
ARM Introduces the Cortex-M7 Embedded Processor
Subject: Processors | September 30, 2014 - 06:02 PM | Josh Walrath
Tagged: arm, cortex, Cortex-A, cortex-m, 90 nm, 40 nm, 28 nm, 32 bit
Last week ARM announced the latest member of their Cortex-M series of embedded parts. The new Cortex-M7 design is a 32 bit processor designed to have good performance while achieving excellent power consumption. The M7 is a fully superscalar design with 6 pipeline stages. This product should not be confused with the Cortex-A series of products, as the M series is aimed directly at embedded markets.
This product is not necessarily meant for multi-media rich applications, so it will not find its way into a modern smart phone. Products that it is leveraged at would be products like the latest generation of smart watches. Industrial control applications, automotive computing, low power and low heat applications, and countless IoT (Internet of Things) products can utilize this architecture.
The designs are being offered on a variety of process nodes from 90 nm down to 28 nm. These choices are made by the licensee depending on the specifics of their application. In the most energy efficient state, ARM claims that these products can see multiple years of running non-stop on a small lithium battery.
This obviously is not the most interesting ARM based product that we have seen lately, but it addresses a very important market. What is perhaps most interesting about this release not only is the pretty dramatic increase in per clock performance from the previous generation of part, but also how robust the support is in terms of design tools, software ecosystem, and 3rd party support.
Cortex-M7 can also be utilized in areas where a more complex DSP has traditionally been used. In comparison to some common DSPs, the Cortex-M7 is competitive in terms of specialized workload performance. It also has the advantage of being much more flexible than a DSP in a general computing environment.
ARM just keeps on moving along with products that address many different computing markets. ARM's high end Cortex-A series of parts powers the majority of smart phones and tablets while the Cortex-M series have sold in the billions addressing the embedded market. The Cortex-M7 is the latest member of that family and will find more than its fair share of products to be integrated into.
Broadwell-U (BGA) Lineup Leaked
Subject: Graphics Cards, Processors | September 30, 2014 - 03:33 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: iris, Intel, core m, broadwell-y, broadwell-u, Broadwell
Intel's upcoming 14nm product line, Broadwell, is expected to have six categories of increasing performance. Broadwell-Y, later branded Core M, is part of the soldered BGA family at expected TDPs of 3.5 to 4.5W. Above this is Broadwell-U, which are also BGA packages, and thus require soldering by the system builder. VR-Zone China has a list of seemingly every 15W SKU in that category. 28W TDP "U" products are expected to be available in the following quarter, but are not listed.
Image Credit: VR-Zone
As for those 15W parts though, there are seventeen (17!) of them, ranging from Celeron to Core i7. While each product is dual-core, the ones that are Core i3 and up have Hyper-Threading, increasing the parallelism to four tasks simultaneously. In terms of cache, Celerons and Pentiums will have 2MB, Core i7s will have 4MB, and everything in between will have 3MB. Otherwise, the products vary on the clock frequency they were binned (bin-sorted) at, and the integrated graphics that they contain.
Image Credit: VR-Zone
These integrated iGPUs range from "Intel HD Graphics" on the Celerons and Pentiums, to "Intel Iris Graphics 6100" on one Core i7, two Core i5s, and one Core i3. The rest pretty much alternate between Intel HD Graphics 5500 and Intel HD Graphics 6000. Maximum frequency of any given iGPU can vary within the same product, but only by about 100 MHz at the most. The exact spread is below.
- Intel HD Graphics: 300 MHz base clock, 800 MHz at load.
- Intel HD Graphics 5500: 300 MHz base clock, 850-950 MHz at load (depending on SKU).
- Intel HD Graphics 6000: 300 MHz base clock, 1000 MHz at load.
- Intel Iris Graphics 6100: 300 MHz base clock, 1000-1100 MHz at load (depending on SKU).
Unfortunately, without the number of shader units to go along with the core clock, we cannot derive a FLOP value yet. This is a very important metric for increasing resolution and shader complexity, and it would provide a relatively fair metric to compare the new parts against previous offerings for higher resolutions and quality settings, especialy in DirectX 12 I would assume.
Image Credit: VR-Zone
Probably the most interesting part to me is that "Intel HD Graphics" without a number meant GT1 with Haswell. Starting with Broadwell, it has been upgraded to GT2 (apparently). As we can see from even the 4.5W Core M processors, Intel is taking graphics seriously. It is unclear whether their intention is to respect gaming's influence on device purchases, or if they are believing that generalized GPU compute will be "a thing" very soon.
Apple A8 Die Shot Released (and Debated)
Subject: Graphics Cards, Processors, Mobile | September 29, 2014 - 01:53 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: apple, a8, a7, Imagination Technologies, PowerVR
First, Chipworks released a dieshot of the new Apple A8 SoC (stored at archive.org). It is based on the 20nm fabrication process from TSMC, which they allegedly bought the entire capacity for. From there, a bit of a debate arose regarding what each group of transistors represented. All sources claim that it is based around a dual-core CPU, but the GPU is a bit polarizing.
Image Credit: Chipworks via Ars Technica
Most sources, including Chipworks, Ars Technica, Anandtech, and so forth believe that it is a quad-core graphics processor from Imagination Technologies. Specifically, they expect that it is the GX6450 from the PowerVR Series 6XT. This is a narrow upgrade over the G6430 found in the Apple A7 processor, which is in line with the initial benchmarks that we saw (and not in line with the 50% GPU performance increase that Apple claims). For programmability, the GX6450 is equivalent to a DirectX 10-level feature set, unless it was extended by Apple, which I doubt.
Image Source: DailyTech
DailyTech has their own theory, suggesting that it is a GX6650 that is horizontally-aligned. From my observation, their "Cluster 2" and "Cluster 5" do not look identical at all to the other four, so I doubt their claims. I expect that they heard Apple's 50% claims, expected six GPU cores as the rumors originally indicated, and saw cores that were not there.
Which brings us back to the question of, "So what is the 50% increase in performance that Apple claims?" Unless they had a significant increase in clock rate, I still wonder if Apple is claiming that their increase in graphics performance will come from the Metal API even though it is not exclusive to new hardware.
But from everything we saw so far, it is just a handful of percent better.
Intel Expands x86 SoC Program to Tsinghua Unigroup
Subject: General Tech, Processors, Mobile | September 27, 2014 - 02:38 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Intel, spreadtrum, rda, Rockchip, SoC
A few months ago, Intel partnered with Rockchip to develop low-cost SoCs for Android. The companies would work together on a design that could be fabricated at TSMC. This time Intel is partnering with Tsinghua Unigroup Ltd. and, unlike Rockchip, also investing in them. The deal will be up to $1.5 billion USD in exchange for a 20% share (approximately) of a division of Tsinghua.
Image Credit: Wikipedia
Intel is hoping to use this partnership to develop mobile SoCs, for smart (and "feature") phones, tablets, and other devices, and get significant presence in the Chinese mobile market. Tsinghua acquired Spreadtrum Communications and RDA Microelectronics within the last two years. The "holding group" that owns these division is apparently the part of Tsinghua which Intel is investing in, specifically.
Spreadtrum will produce SoCs based on Intel's "Intel Architecture". This sounds like they are referring to the 32-bit IA-32, which means that Spreadtrum would be developing 32-bit SoCs, but it is possible that they could be talking about Intel 64. These products are expected for 2H'15.
Linux loves Haswell-E
Subject: Processors | September 25, 2014 - 02:56 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: linux, X99, core i7-5960x, Haswell-E
After the smoke from their previous attempt at testing the i7 5960X CPU Phoronix picked up a Gigabyte X99-UD4-CF and have now had a chance to test Haswell-E performance on Linux. The new processor is compared to over a dozen others on machines running Ubuntu and really showed up the competition on benchmarks that took advantage of the 8 cores. Single threaded applications that depended on a higher clock speed proved to be a weakness as the 4790K's higher frequency allowed it to outperform the new Haswell-E processor. Check out the very impressive results of Phoronix's testing right here.
"With the X99 burned-up motherboard problem of last week appearing to be behind us with no further issues when using a completely different X99 motherboard, here's the first extensive look at the Core i7 5960X Haswell-E processor running on Ubuntu Linux."
Here are some more Processor articles from around the web:

Want Haswell-EP Xeons Without Expensive DDR4 Memory?
Subject: General Tech, Motherboards, Processors | September 20, 2014 - 06:51 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: xeon, Haswell-EP, ddr4, ddr3, Intel
Well this is interesting and, while not new, is news to me.
The upper-tier Haswell processors ushered DDR4 into the desktops for enthusiasts and servers, but DIMMs are quite expensive and incompatible with the DDR3 sticks that your organization might have been stocking up on. Despite the memory controller being placed on the processor, ASRock has a few motherboards which claim DDR3 support. ASRock, responding to Anandtech's inquiry, confirmed that this is not an error and Intel will launch three SKUs, one eight-core, one ten-core, and one twelve-core, with a DDR3-supporting memory controller.
The three models are:
|E5-2629 v3
|E5-2649 v3
|E5-2669 v3
|Cores (Threads)
|8 (16)
|10 (20)
|12 (24)
|Clock Rate
|2.4 GHz
|2.3 GHz
|2.3 Ghz
|L3 Cache
The processors, themselves, might not be cheap or easily attainable, though. There are rumors that Intel will require customers purchase at least a minimum amount. It might not be worth buying these processors unless you have a significant server farm (or similar situation).
First Apple A8 Benchmarks Show... "Modest" Increase
Subject: General Tech, Processors, Mobile | September 12, 2014 - 01:30 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: apple, apple a8, SoC, iphone 6, iphone 6 plus
So one of the first benchmarks for Apple's A8 SoC has been published to Rightware, and it is not very different from its predecessor. The Apple A7 GPU of last year's iPhone 5S received a score of 20,253.80 on the Basemark X synthetic benchmark. The updated Apple A8 GPU, found on the iPhone 6, saw a 4.7% increase, to 21204.26, on the same test.
Again, this is a synthetic benchmark and not necessarily representative of real-world performance. To me, though, it wouldn't surprise me if the GPU is identical, and the increase corresponds mostly to the increase in CPU performance. That said, it still does not explain the lack of increase that we see, despite Apple's switch to TSMC's 20nm process. Perhaps it matters more in power consumption and non-gaming performance? That does not align well with their 20% faster CPU and 50% faster GPU claims...
Speaking of gaming performance, iOS 8 introduces the Metal API, which is Apple's response to Mantle, DirectX 12, and OpenGL Next Initiative. Maybe that boost will give Apple a pass for a generation? Perhaps we will see the two GPUs (A7 and A8) start to diverge in the Metal API? We shall see when more benchmarks and reviews get published.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 Has LTE for Sub-$100 Devices
Subject: General Tech, Processors, Mobile | September 11, 2014 - 06:27 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: qualcomm, snapdragon 210, snapdragon, LTE, cheap tablet
The Snapdragon 210 was recently announced by Qualcomm to be an SoC for cheap, sub-$100 tablets and mobile phones. With it, the company aims to bring LTE connectivity to that market segment, including Dual SIM support. It will be manufactured on the 28nm process, with up to four ARM CPU cores and a Qualcomm Adreno 304 GPU.
According to Qualcomm, the SoC can decode 1080p video. It will also be able to manage cameras with up to 8 megapixels of resolution, including HDR, autofocus, auto white balance, and auto exposure. Let's be honest, you will not really get much more than that for a sub-$100 device.
The Snapdragon 210 has been given Quick Charge 2.0, normally reserved for the 400-line and up, refill the battery quickly when connected to a Quick Charge 2.0-supporting charger (ex: the Motorola Turbo Charger). Quick Charge 1.0 worked by optimizing how energy was delivered to the battery through a specification. Quick Charge 2.0 does the same, just with 60 watts of power (!!). For reference, the USB standard defines 2.5W, which is 5V at 0.5A, although the specification is regularly extended to 5 or 10 watts.
Devices featuring the Snapdragon 210 are expected for the first half of 2015.

SPRINGFIELD - John Gormally, the owner of Springfield television stations abc40 and Fox 6, and the publisher of Business West magazine is reportedly one of the suitors considering making bids to purchase the Boston Globe.
According to a report in Wednesday's Globe, at least seven potential bidders including members of the Taylor family that originally sold the Globe to the New York Times Co. are considering making offers.
Another potential bidder, Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots, reportedly has decided not to make an offer.
"Among those vying for the Globe are two competing local groups, one led by members of the Taylor family that once owned the company and another that includes a former president of the newspaper," the Globe reported. "Two out-of-town newspaper executives — one with a paper in San Diego, the other a private equity group with a paper in Tampa — are also potential bidders. And the Kraft Group, owner of the New England Patriots football team, has expressed interest."
Just a few minutes ago, however, the Globe published a followup report indicating that the Kraft Group is no longer interested.
Potential bidders have until June 27 to make offers.
Gormally purchased WGGB-TV, Channel 40 in Springfield in 2007. A year later, Gormally, president of Gormally Broadcasting LLC launched a Fox television affiliate in Springfield.
The New York Times Co., owners of the Globe, is seeking to sell its entire New England Media Group, which includes the Globe, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette as well as the Globe's direct mail marketing business and a 49 percent interest in the Metro Boston newspaper.
"One group of bidders, previously named in stories, is led by former Time magazine executive Jack Griffin and two members of the Taylor family, which sold the Globe to the Times Co. 20 years ago," according to the Telegram & Gazette. "Cousins Ben and Steve Taylor tried to buy the Globe in 2009, but the Times Co. decided not to sell."
Other potential bidders include Revolution Capital Group, a Los Angeles private equity firm, and Najafi Cos., an Arizona investment firm that owns the Phoenix Suns professional basketball team, according to the Telegram & Gazette.
At one point, Boston area auto dealer Ernie Boch, Jr., had been considering making an offer, according to the Boston Business Journal.

Police say the arrests were a result of a detail to verify compliance of registered sex offenders in the city of Tuscaloosa. The detail was a combined effort of the Alabama Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Marshal's Office, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and the Tuscaloosa Police Department.
Officers physically contacted 78 sex offenders in the city's police jurisdiction. The roundup was performed at the same time as the new sex offender law was going into effect. The law requires sex offenders to register every three months and pay $10 each time.
The new law went into effect on July 1, 2011. The old law required sex offenders to registered only twice a year.
Those arrested include the following: Barney Lee Hurst, Darryl Lecarlo Anderson, Willie Earl Davis, Marcus Eon Parham, Steven Craig Newman, Jeremy David Smith and Tavaris Kendrell Mcshan.

The police used a confidential informant on me. They had this guy buy 3 times from me. Catch is he brought drugs to us and then interveniously injected my husband and my self as we had never done this EVER before. We were not in our right mind but he did it every time he made a deal with us. I s there anyone out there that can help or knows anything about this. Hed come over when he wasn't wired and also shoot himself up. I know where his track marcks are. This guy is facingfed charges and a bunch of weird stuff is been happening where they are trying to entrap us into more stuff. I dont know what to do.

Get a lawyer?
Well, that's a morally and ethically ambiguous story. No verifiable facts, but you are telling the great american lower-class morality tale, right out of the screenwriters handbook.
The upper-class morality tales mostly involve embezzlement, and oh, those poor embezzlers, maybe they had some kind of drug habit or sex addiction or gambling addiction or some other kind of addiction that drove them to it. Poor white collar criminals, they are so weak, a slap on the wrist, maybe six months in a country club with a wire fence, will straighten them up.
You'll probably spend more time in jail than they would. That too is part of the lower-class morality tale.
You should get a lawyer, and do what the lawyer says. I've seen various websites that offer advice on dealing with officers of the law. Their summary always seems to be about the same. Dont talk to anyone but a lawyer, get a lawyer, and let the lawyer do his or her job.

LMS girls start year with wins
"Both the seventh- and eighth-grade Langley Middle School girls basketball teams opened their season with wins last week on the road against Gateway.Although she struggled with her shooting most of the game, Mary McCune came through when it counted most, putting in the game-winning basket with just three seconds to play as the seventh-graders squeaked out a 23-22 win. Prior to McCune's clutch shot, Christie Robinson scored with 43 seconds left to pull her team within one. McCune also topped all rebounders with 16.The eighth-graders, behind Jenny Newman's 12 points, had an easier time of it as they jumped out to a 17-6 first quarter advantage on their way to a 31-22 triumph.Katy McGillen added seven points and led the Cougars rebounding while Jordan Tobler chipped in with six points. Rachel McCabe and Brianna Hussey rounded out the scoring with four and two points, respectively."

The final night of the American tour and a truly tired Crimson turned in a surprisingly sprightly performance. ETs very own Dan Kirkdorffer (and future DGM webmaster) was there and shared his thoughts. It was one highlight after another: Thela, Red, Frame... Belew was radiating his enjoyment right from the very start. It was clear that they were all enjoying playing tonight, and why not - this was their last show of the year. I sensed that
after 99 shows this band was performing at such a level, I cannot imagine how they could improve even further. I'd love to think a future release will include something from this show - it was outstanding. The show continued into Fripp's Soundscapes, which were mesmerizing. Fripp seemed to be barely doing anything, yet the hall was awash in sound. Soundscapes begat B'Boom, B'Boom begat THRAK, THRAK begat... magic! The THRAK improv section was at least twice as long as this summer. It seemed to continue for 10, maybe 15 minutes, and Fripp really let fly here...I admit I may not have the trained musician's ear, but I cannot recall hearing any mistakes, miscues, miseffects, or whatever. The band was truly running on all cylinders. Part of the improvisation in Thrak was used in This Night Wounds Time and THRaKaTTaK Part II on the THRaKKaTTaK album.

Is the problem that the mount itself needs to come back a slot or is it that the sight is too tall and bumps into the bottom of the ACOG?
I ask because most flip-ups only use the one slot at the very rear of the receiver. I've got KAC, Troy and GG&G sitting in front of me and they all use the same amount of rail. The main difference is how tall they are when folded down.
