This story is in progress. To receive the latest updates, click here. Friday's Daily Briefing will contain Advisory Board analysis of the proposed rule. Follow Chief Research Officer Chas Roades on Twitter at http://twitter.com/ChasRoades for initial reaction to the proposal and key takeaways.
As reported in today's Daily Briefing, CMS on Thursday released its proposed rule to govern accountable care organizations (ACOs).
As called for by the federal health reform law, the ACO program is intended to encourage networks of providers to collaborate on care for Medicare beneficiaries, with the aim of improving outcomes and reducing cost. Participating providers will be eligible for a portion of shared savings.
In a conference call, officials estimated that ACOs will save Medicare as much as $960 million over the model's first three years. They also reiterated that organizations that seek to become ACOs must treat at least 5,000 patients.

A recent study from Circulation Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes suggests that the use of a simple screening tool in cardiology offices can increase appropriate referrals to an electrophysiologist for patients indicated for an ICD.
Given the growing body of evidence suggesting that ICDs are underutilized for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death, researchers sought to determine whether using a screening tool would increase appropriate referrals. The screening tool was attached to the medical record and simply asked the physician if the patient's ejection fraction was less than 35 percent and whether a referral to an electrophysiologist was made. Physicians at the first site, a Yale cardiology faculty practice outpatient site, used the tool between September and October 2007. The second practice involved in the study, was a private cardiology practice, participated in the study from July 2009 through to January 2010. The results showed that appropriate referral rate increased significantly for both practices. More specifically, the referral rate increased from 33 percent to 88 percent at the first site, and from 44 percent to 100 percent at the private cardiology practice involved in the study.

HHS on Monday unveiled its National Strategy for Quality Improvement in Health Care, which calls for a focus on patient-centered care, reducing costs and improving public health, HealthLeaders Media reports. Particularly relevant to the cardiovascular service line, HHS has identified effective prevention and treatment of CV disease as an immediate priority in this strategy.
The federal health reform law called for the strategy to guide local, state and national efforts to improve health care. The strategy aims to reduce administrative burdens and facilitate care collaboration for physicians and other health care providers. HHS also calls for increased adoption of electronic health records to facilitate many of the projects included in the strategy.

This Fourth will be a blast in Maine
Sunday, June 24, 2012
It's going to be a booming Fourth of July in Maine this year, thanks to a new law allowing the sale of fireworks. Unfortunately, this means New Hampshire will have lost a little bit of its business edge. |

It pits our Republifool attorney general Greg Abbott making another bogus 'states rights' argument against the Department of Justice and a phalanx of groups seeking to enforce Section V of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Since my birth state has an odious history of suppressing the voting rights of non-white people, they find themselves under Section V of the Voting Rights Act.
Section V requires any changes in election law or that affect voting procedures to be precleared by the DOJ and it was under that provision of the VRA that the Texas Voter
That prompted Abbott to file a suit attempting to convince a three judge panel to uphold this jacked up law. The sniping you heard Sen John Cornyn (R-TX) direct at Attorney General Eric Holder and demand he resign during that Senate hearing a few weeks ago was in relation to this Texas voter suppression case.
The three judge panel that will hear this case for this projected five day trial is made up of GW Bush appointee (2002) Rosemary Collyer, Clinton appointee (1994) David Tatel and Obama appointee (2010) Robert Wilkins.
Collyer was also one of the judges comprising the three judge panel that threw out the partisan GOP Texas congressional redistricting maps a few months ago after a three week trial
Abbot will argue the GOP party line that this law is only designed to address 'voter fraud', but we non-white Texans know these ALEC sponsored laws are designed to do noting else but suppress non-white voter turnout.
"The state's argument has this notion of widespread fraud, when what we know from the evidence is that so far, for 2008 and 2010, there were 13 million votes cast across the state and of those 13 million, there's been one indictment for voter fraud," said Texas state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, the chairman of the Mexican American Legislative Caucus, one of the groups joining the Justice Department.
May this law go down in a painful death later this week.

Just like any other successful enterprise, there's always an interesting story to tell for each. Pizza Hut - the largest and the most successful pizza restaurant chain in the world - certainly has one of its own.
In short, in 1958, two college students from Wichita, Kansas, were approached by a family friend about opening a pizza parlor in their neighborhood. Running a pizza business back then was still relatively fresh in America, but the two brothers saw the potential and decided to give it a try. So they borrowed US$600 from their mother as a start-up capital. They then rented a small building located in a busy district and started selling pizzas. But little did they know Pizza Hut would become a world-known brand for pizzas, pasta and many gourmet delights after half a century later.
How the name Pizza Hut came about was nothing more than a coincidence. As the length of the restaurant signboard was good for 9 characters only, and the two brothers wanted to use "Pizza" in the name, so they decided to fill up the 3 letters room with "Hut" to tie in with the looks of the building where their first "Pizza Hut" was established
Pizza Hut, a subsidiary of Yum! Brands Inc., has more than 6,000 outlets across the United States and over 5,600 outlets in 94 countries around the globe today.
Please click Pizzahut.com for more information.
Pizza Hut has been serving Hong Kong for over 30 years and its first restaurant was opened in 1981. In 1987, Jardine Matheson & Co. Ltd. took over the Hong Kong Pizza Hut franchise business and since then "Customer Mania" has been adopted as the corporate culture towards serving its customers with total dedication.
Pizza Hut is the largest pizza and pasta chain restaurant in Hong Kong, with over 4,000 employees being deployed to work in over 80 outlets throughout Hong Kong and Macau, including takeaway and delivery services.
Please click http://www.jardines.com for more information.
Our Vision
To become the leading aspiration casual dining restaurant chain in Hong Kong and Macau with unique European sensation, serving a wide range of relevant and delicious dishes with unsurpassed food quality and offering an environment where our customers can enjoy the European dining experience and a great time with friends and family.
To sustain leading Pizza Delivery Provider in which our delivered quality pizzas and pasta are always hot and delivered on time.
Our Mission
With the "Customer Mania" corporate culture, we always do our best to make sure dining at Pizza Hut is a sheer pleasure. We promise:
To design and provide each and every dish in high quality
To continuously introduce new food dishes to surprise and please our customers
To always carry out our "Hot and On Time" delivery commitment
To regularly review customer service so that our customers can enjoy the best of service all the time
Our Story – 30 Years of Great Taste
Pizza Hut cares about our community and always actively engages with charitable organizations in helping people in need.
1) Pizza Card Points Rewards Donation
Beneficiaries: Mindset/St. James' Settlement People's Food Bank
For every $5 purchase at any Pizza Hut restaurant, takeaway or delivery service, the customer could earn 1 Pizza Card Points Rewards. However, the customer was encouraged to donate the points, a minimum of 50 points, in exchange of $5 to the beneficiaries.
2) Regular Donation
Beneficiaries: Mindset/World Food Programme (WFP)
Each year Pizza Hut would conceive different fundraising programmes for Mindset/World Food Programme and invite its customers to participate, so that while enjoying delicious meals they can join hands to help the needy.
Charitable organizations
Mindset – a Hong Kong registered charity and was established by Jardine Matheson Group in 2002. It aims to raise awareness and concern for the people suffering from mental illnesses and to provide assistance for the individuals and their families who are in need of help.
St James' Settlement People's Food Bank – a registered local charity organization which started the People's Canteen Service since December 2003. Its objective is to offer free food assistance, as well as other services such as food market and nutrition programme to help the needs of the disadvantaged people.
United Nations' World Food Programme – the largest humanitarian agency fighting hunger worldwide. Each year, on average, WFP feeds more than 90 million people in more than 70 countries.
3) Participate in Charity Programmes
As a member of Jardine Matheson & Co. Ltd., Pizza Hut always takes pleasure to participate in various charity programmes and help the needy.
4) Employment of Physically Challenged Employees
Apart from fulfilling our share of corporate social responsibility, we also stress the importance of offering equal employment opportunities no matter race or people with physically challenged. Each year, Pizza Hut would employ around 100 physically challenged people and these positions ranging from being a team member to supervisory level. We have a long service physically challenged staff who has been with us for around 15 years.

Perhaps the hardest part of owning an iPad is trying to avoid the addictive world of Angry Birds, the favorite game app of the new British Prime Minister. For just $5 you, too, can attack pigs with hard-headed flying birds.
That kind of distraction is exactly what many faculty worry about when we ponder the place of tools such as the iPad in the classroom. We fear that our students will be more engaged with their games or Twitter feeds than with our lectures. But the iPad, the iPhone, the Droid, and the flood of other new tablets and smart phones finding their way into our classrooms are not the cause of student inattention. These gadgets are just tools, and student engagement depends on good teaching whether or not a cool gadget is present. In Technological and Pedagogical Content Knowledge: A Framework for Teacher Knowledge (.pdf), Punya Mishra and Matthew J. Koehler note that we need to understand not only various technologies but also how the technologies affect our pedagogy.
The iPad is a good case in point. Since the iPad's launch in April 2010 some educators have begun to examine its place in education. Our experience in using the iPad for teaching is that it is useful in two distinct ways, consumption and production, although it currently is more useful for the former than the latter.
The iPad is very obviously a tool for consuming information and media. Reading publications such as the New York Times or watching movies through the Netflix app seems to be a natural fit for the device. In the classroom, we have been using iPads as a way to deliver information to our students.
For example, in a course on Reinventing King Arthur, John used the Kindle app on his iPad to give his students access to some of the course readings. In fact, he chose the course readings based on their availability in ebook format, and in one instance, John was able to bring back into his course a text that had been out of print for almost 20 years! In another case, students who chose to download the Kindle version of a new book were able to do so several days before others were able to order the printed version (although this might have been an error on Amazon's part). The students used their own devices, mobile or otherwise, to read the ebooks, which was possible because the Kindle app is no longer limited to the Kindle device. The app can be used on PCs or Macs, desktops or laptops, iPads, iPhones, Droids, and iPod Touches. One of its best features is that you can read the same book on various devices, and the app will remember where you left off. You can start reading a book on your laptop and then later switch to reading on your phone without losing your place.
Kevin has been using the iPad for an Honors course on the cultural impact of comic books. Marvel, DC, and other publishers have iPad apps (iTunes link) that present comics in sharp, HD-like quality. When you can zoom in on details of comics in high definition, the panels take on an immersive quality.
The following panel is a screen capture of the Iron Man (2004) #1 book, available in the Marvel app.
Students in the course can download the movies Iron Man (2008) and V for Vendetta (2006) via the iTunes Store or other media sources. By examining both the comic serial and the movie versions of these stories, students see how the superhero movie genre has reinvented the comic.
Students can also use reference apps such as Wikipanion (Wikipedia) to find out details about characters in these stories (such as Guy Fawkes, the original fundamentalist terrorist who is burned in effigy in the UK every November 5th).
The ebooks John uses in his course include built-in dictionaries that make it convenient for students to look up unusual words, which is invaluable for texts based on older versions of the English language. The iPad apps can also read the texts aloud.
Here are some other apps that we've experimented with and have found useful for teaching.
App | Description |
iAnnotate PDF ($9.99) | Syncs PDF documents between your desktop and your iPad. It also lets you highlight and underline and add commentary, which is great for our e-reserve readings. |
CineXPlayer ($3.99) | Delivers Xvid movies to the iPad through iTunes. Includes subtitles and TV/VGA output. The advantage to this app is that it supports more than just iTunes native formats. |
Netflix (Free) | The app is free, but you need a Netflix subscription to use it. You get access to the Netflix streaming library. John has had his students view the BBC TV series Merlin (2008) and the movies Camelot (1967) and Excalibur (1981). |
The iPad is opening doors for some differently abled users. Its built-in text reader can give voice to anything downloaded to iBooks. Dragon Dictation is a free iPad app that uses voice recognition to create text email messages and even Facebook and Twitter updates. The iPad's magnification and closed-captioning features also make content available for a wide range of people. The New York Times recently reported on how an iPad elicited reactions from a 7-year-old boy who has a severe motor neuron disease. The same article noted that autistic children are also engaging more with this tool than a regular computer.
As a production tool—that is, for generating rather than just consuming content—the iPad has plenty of potential, but it still has lots of room for improvement. Much of this post was written in the Pages app on the iPad, using the on-screen keyboard. Or at least it was until we started getting annoyed when we typed too many extra n's and m's because those keys are uncomfortably close to the space bar for our not-so-nimble digits. So we just synced the iPads to our desktops and continued typing from there, using real keyboards.
The on-screen keyboard works well enough for some things: browsing the web, searching the App Store, typing things into Wikipedia. In our opinion, though, an external keyboard is an essential add-on if you want to use the iPad for serious writing.
In addition to Pages, the other two iWork apps—Numbers and Keynote— for the iPad are useful production tools . Each costs $9.99 from the iTunes Store. iWork will soon be available to the NAU campus through a site license, and it is a decent alternative to the MS Office applications. John developed some of his course documentation in Pages and Numbers.
Some of the drawbacks to using these apps include lack of easy cloud syncing and inability to print directly from the iPad. That said, the MobileMe iDisk app does provide some access to the MobileMe cloud (which requires a subscription) or the beta of iWork.com. There are rumors of an about-to-be-released Google Apps app for the iPad and Android that will allow for editing of Google docs, spreadsheets, and presentations. Apple is undoubtedly working on updates to their products to fix these and other shortcomings, and they are also exploring cloud-based computing, but if you want to take the iPad plunge now, you should be aware of these limitations. Syncing the iPad to your computer also leaves a lot to be desired, because you need to go through iTunes to make it work at all. The advantages of using the iPad over a netbook as a mobile production tool are currently few.
Recently, we discovered two note-taking apps for the iPad that let you use your finger or a stylus. We tested Penultimate and WhiteNote in meetings and in the classroom. The former is pretty slick but simple. The latter needs some work, especially in how it uses the screen and the writing space. But it offers the bonus of letting you browse and import from the web, PDFs, and other formats, and it also uses cloud-based resources for saving and sharing PDFs via Google Docs.
The iPad and some smart phones are beginning to offer access to learning management systems (LMS), such as Blackboard Learn and Moodle. Mobile apps are available for both of these LMS, but their functionality is quite limited, although the Blackboard Mobile Learn app syndicates content from that LMS quite well. For the moment, though, both Blackboard Learn and Moodle are best accessed on the iPad through a browser.
Lessons Learned and In Progress
The iPad holds much promise for education, but it is still in its infancy. Missing but available soon with the impending release of iOS 4.2 release are the ability to multitask (that is, to run more than one app at a time), print from the iPad, and even output information to other devices through AirPlay. The ability to easily display the content of your iPad on an overhead projector is essential for educators, and we hope Apple addresses that shortcoming quickly. Apple's prohibition of Adobe's Flash on the iPad means that some of our preferred media sources, such as streaming films available through our university library, are not viewable on the device. However, the Skyfire browser, which converts Flash video to a format that works on Apple's mobile devices, might soon solve that problem.
The most obvious lesson we learned is that students like using the iPads for classes. It wasn't at all hard to get the students to use the iPads. It was hard to get the students to give them back.
John J. Doherty is an instructional designer at Northern Arizona University's e-Learning Center and an instructor in NAU's First Year Seminar and Honors programs. He has been studying the Arthurian Legend formally since 1989, but has been reading and writing about it much longer. Kevin Ketchner is a librarian with NAU's Cline Library and also teaches in Honors. His love of comic books has generated a strong interest in visual literacy and narrative.

Jane Lubchenco's resignation as administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the federal agency responsible for regulating the fishing industry, was greeted with bipartisan celebration by Massachusetts lawmakers. Republican Senator Scott Brown said good riddance to her "job-killing" limits on fishing. Democratic Representative John Tierney, whose North Shore district includes Gloucester, said he "welcomed" the resignation. "Our fishing community has suffered," he said.
That may be unfair. A Harvard-educated environmental scientist, Lubchenco was a highly qualified leader whose often-well-reasoned policies were undermined by a notable lack of political savvy.
Humans do not need to hunt and kill wild animals. Fish in the ocean are wild animals. If you absolutely want to eat a fish, go out and catch one yourself. Otherwise leave the GD wild animals alone. Don't get me started. And while we're at it, ban hunting unless it is done by the state to specifically cull herds of (deer) that have grown past their natural populations due to removal of large predators, (specifically wolves, mountain lions and bears). Other than that-stop it. There is no reason to hunt and kill wild animals. We kill enough of them already with our cars and trucks and pollution.
Stop pandering to people who fish commercially. Train them to do something different. Move on.

- Furman comes into the match with an 8-8 overall record and is 5-0 so far in the SoCon. The Paladins are currently riding a four-match winning streak, with all of those coming against Southern Conference opponents. Last season, Furman narrowly edged UNCG, 4-3.
- The Terriers are 10-9 this season and 2-3 in the Southern Conference. The Terriers have lost four matches in a row heading into the weekend. Three of those matches were against SoCon schools, with the Terriers losing by a combined score of 20-1 in those matches.
- Sophomore transfer Niltooli Wilkins has provided a spark for the Spartans from her No. 1 singles position. She is nearly perfect at 12-1 so far in the spring and has also teamed up with Lucy Dougherty in doubles to post an equally impressive 11-2 record.
- Earlier this month, Wilkins was named the SoCon Player of the Month as she went a perfect 4-0 in singles and 4-0 in doubles in the month of February. On Tuesday, Wilkins was named the SoCon Player of the Week for the second time this season. She was also honored as the SoCon Player of the Week on March 1 for her play against Chattanooga and Samford.
- Last Thursday, the Spartans traveled up to Liberty and fell in a tight match, 5-2. UNCG took the doubles point to start the match with wins at No. 1 and No. 2 and extended its lead to 2-0 with a win by Niltooli Wilkins at No. 1 singles. However, the Flames won the final five singles matches, four coming down to three sets, to win the match, 5-2.
- On March 19-20, UNCG defeated Appalachian State, 7-0, on Saturday before cruising past Western Carolina on Sunday, 6-1, to move to a perfect 4-0 in the Southern Conference. The Spartans swept all of the doubles matches on both days and won 11 of a possible 12 singles matches.
- On March 16, UNCG suffered its first home defeat of the season as the Spartans fell to UNCW, 6-1. UNCG won the first doubles match, but narrowly dropped the other two, 8-6, to lose the doubles point. UNCG continued to falter in singles as it dropped five of the six matches, the lone win coming from Niltooli Wilkins at No. 1 singles.
- On March 7, UNCG easily defeated UNC Asheville on the road, 6-1. The Spartans swept the doubles points with relative ease, before winning five of the six singles matches. UNCG won at No. 6 singles due to a forfeit by the Bulldogs after having just five healthy players available.
- On Feb. 26-27, the Spartans opened Southern Conference play with a pair of victories. UNCG started things on Saturday by sweeping Chattanooga 7-0 and then defeated No. 74 Samford, 4-3, to move to 2-0 in the league. The Spartans took the doubles point and all six singles matches against the Mocs. UNCG won the deciding doubles point against the Bulldogs on Sunday before splitting the singles matches.
- Back on Feb. 16, UNCG traveled to Greenville, N.C. to face East Carolina in a nonconference tilt. The Spartans got the match started off on a good note by taking the doubles points, but fell behind in singles after dropping the first two matches. UNCG came storming back though to take the final four singles matches, all coming in three sets, to defeat the Pirates, 5-2.

Location: Commodity Utilization Research
Technical Abstract: The exposure of sugarcane to damaging frosts occurs in over 20 of the 79 sugarcane producing countries, but is most frequent on the mainland of the United States. The frequent winter freezes in the sugarcane area of Louisiana forced the industry to adapt to a short growing season (7-9 months) and a short milling season (about 3 months). In order to measure the post-freeze deterioration of stalks of commercial and candidate varieties, a collaborative study was conducted between the LSU AgCenter, Audubon Sugar Institute, St. Gabriel, LA and the USDA-ARS, Sugarcane Research Unit at Houma and New Orleans, LA, at the USDA-ARS Ardoyne Farm on Bull Run Road at Chacahoula, LA. Ten commercial and 1 candidate varieties were planted at the Ardoyne Farm during the late summer 2009. The commercial varieties included in the study were: LCP 85-384, HoCP 96-540, L 97-128, L 99-226, L 99-233, HoCP 00-950, L 01-283, L 01-299, L 03-371 and TucCP 77-42 (Argentina). The candidate variety included in the study was: HoCP 04-838. From the data, it appears that HoCP 04-838 has significantly better stalk cold tolerance than any of the other varieties in the test and was rated as "Resistant or Very Good". LCP 85-384, HoCP 96-540, L 97-128, HoCP 00-950, L 01-283 and L 01-299 were rated as "Intermediate or Good" while L 99-226, L 99-233, L 03-371 and TucCP 77-42 were rated as "Susceptible or Poor". These ratings are mostly comparable to the ones given the varieties the previous year following a freeze event of similar magnitude and duration. However, the rating of one variety, HoCP 00-950, was switched from Resistant to Intermediate with additional data. The ratings for the 2010-2011 harvest season are subject to change with data on total soluble polysaccharide, mannitol and dextran which are considered more sensitive criteria for determining stalk cold tolerance.

Optical Biopsy : a quicker way to identify the nature of my condition
Knowing what I have as quickly as possible and treating it Waiting days or weeks to hear the laboratory results of a biopsy after an endoscopy or bronchospy procedure can be incredibly stressful and agonizing. Ideally, you want your physician to be able to diagnose or rule out a problem during a diagnostic exam – and then treat the problem as fast as possible without the need to come back for a separate procedure. Benefiting from a major innovation in endoscopic imaging Unfortunately, that wasn't always possible with traditional endoscopic imaging technologies. During the procedure, cancerous and pre-cancerous tissue is often indistinguishable from benign tissue unless viewed at the cellular level. Mauna Kea Technologies has spent over a decade developing the world's first and only tiny, flexible fiber optic microscope, Cellvizio®. This probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy system (pCLE) allows doctors to view tissue inside the body at the cellular level during any endoscopy procedure. |
Find out more about how Cellvizio can help physicians in their diagnosis and treatment |
What do physicians say about Cellvizio More than 300 physicians around the world are using Cellvizio to improve their ability to diagnose and treat their patients in the best conditions. Watch some of the most expert physicians worldwide talk about pCLE and how it changed their practice in our testimonials section.
Optical Biopsy with Cellvizio is routinely used to help patients who undergo procedures for gastroenterological disorders, such as :

Your brain needs to clean itself. Not because it's cluttered with inane thoughts or clogged by your filthy sense of humor, but because—like every other organ—it creates waste products. Now, scientists have worked out how it keeps itself clean.
The rest of your body has this thing called the lymphatic system: a series of tubes and vessels that filter out garbage and ship it out of the body. But your brain's a small, sealed unit when it comes to waste. "If you look at a body-wide map of the lymphatic system, you see a great big void in the brain," explained neuroscientist Jeffrey Iliff to Wired.
Research from the University of Rochester Medical Center, though, has now shown that—in mice, at least—the brain has its own flushing mechanism, a bit like a toilet. It quite literally pumps fluid along the outside of blood vessels to wash crap away.
To work that out, the team of researchers monitored fluid flow in the brain using radioactive tracers. They observed that mouse brains have extracellular space through which cerebrospinal fluid flows to wash waste away. The team also showed that mice brains without such space cleared waste—including amyloid proteins which are linked to Alzheimer's—70 percent more slowly than normal mice. The results are published in Science.
While the finding in itself is interesting, perhaps more exciting is what the future holds for this kind of research. In theory, it should be possible to amp up the amount of flushing the brain does—which could in turn help scientists purge the junk that contributes to diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

This is a great cpu cooler
Strengths: All copper construction, variable fan speed, blue led, looks awsome, low noise
Weakness: very very big, pins can be tricky i recoment going to the companys website to watch the instal video

The best heatsink ever
Strengths: Silent Cools great
Weakness: kind of tall
I use this on an opteron fx-62 and it keeps that cool at standard speeds, even with the fan running at the minimum possible speed. This cooler is fantastic! only caveat: Make sure you have enough vertical clearance, as this is fairly tall! I have mine in an Antec P180 case.

I am not a big fan of LED fans, but that been said, this is an excellent copper cooler, and working with my AMD 5000+ BE CPU, I can hit 3200MHz, and not even hit 60C core temps. This baby really cools, and is very quiet. It is inside my coolermaster HTPC case, which is very large for a HTPC, and it fits very well. The nice thing is the orientation, which allows the fan to be directed at the case...

Potential Good Heatsink/Fan
Strengths: Large cooking area, cooling would be great if you had a large amount of air flowing over it and it was in a relatively cool room. Good value.
Weakness: HUGE! This heatsink is massive, I didn't measure it to see whether it would fit in my case but luckily it did.
I was quite disappointed to see the performance of this heatsink. I had expected it to drop my CPU temps by more than 3 degrees C over the stock cooler but that may be because my room is not exactly a cool place. I can see it being very good if a large amount of air was flowing over it. The blue LEDs are a nice addition to my blue themed case.

The win of Sour Mash (IRE) in the $70,000, Metropolitan Civil Contractors Bm 85 Handicap (2200m) was tinged with sadness at Warwick Farm on Saturday with one of the part-owners Ben Wright passing away on Friday.
Wright had been a supporter of Chris Waller's Rosehill stable for some five years and he was a regular racegoer thoroughly enjoying his racing and ownership in many of Waller's runners. Jockey Corey Brown wore a black armband in respect for Wright's passing.
Sour Mash (IRE) and Corey Brown carry a black armband for the late Ben Wright, picture Sportpix.com.au
Sour Mash upheld his part of the stable's recognition of Wright with a tough all the way win to make it two wins from three races, with a second at Rosehill in between, for the progressive imported stayer.
Brown had confidence in the Danehill Dancer five-year-old gelding taking him to the lead from the outset. For 1600m of the trip they were attended by Dawnfire Dancer and Tommy Berry and these two left the field to their own tempo 3L back.
Eventually the field closed with 450m to run, but Sour Mash (55.5kg) was not distracted by a few challengers.
Passing the 300m Sour Mash was 3/4L in front as Harry Trimbole (NZ) (54.5kg) and Christian Reith took over leading the field's challenge to the leader. With 200m to run the margin was 1L and at the line the field was still 3/4L adrift.
Southern Shimmer (54kg) (Southern Image) and Robert Thompson passed Harry Trimbole (Danske) for second with the margin 1 3/4L.
The time was 2.18.20 on the upgraded Dead 5 track for a new class record, the second of the programme, with the final 600m in 37.58. Sour Mash paid $2.50 on NSW TAB as favourite.
"It was a fitting win today with one of the part-owners and long-time supporter of Chris with plenty of horses in our stable, Ben Wright, unfortunately passed away yesterday morning," said Liam Prior, racing manager for Waller.
"It was upsetting for all the staff because he has been a big supporter of our stable and he loves his horses and he was always at the races. It was a shock and it is always sad when you lose someone.
"Sour Mash was unlucky last start but Chad rode him well. The instructions were the same again today to go forward and Corey rode him brilliantly in front and it was a good win," he said
"It is a special moment, you love the man, and it is sad to see that he is not here anymore. I was just proud to wear the black armband for him," said Brown.
"A very nice horse. His win was probably a little bit better than what it looked. They really stuck in the whole race. I thought I had come this far and I would let him roll and try and pinch a bit of a break. He does not have much of a dash about him but he will grind it out all day.
"Next time in when the penny really drops he will win a nice race or two," he said.
Sour Mash, out of the Arch mare Landmark, was winning for the fourth time and with two second places from 15 starts he has earned overall stakes of $122,789 for owners that include Neil Werrett, part-owner of Black Caviar, F Cook, I Bruce, P Dykes, B Mathieson, J Pritchard, D Smith, R Smith, and K Warriner.
Apprentice Lauri Wray won her fifth race in the city for the season when she guided Zakynthos Imprintz to win the $70,000, Shimano Fishing Bm 84 Handicap (1400m).
Wray's 3kg claim came in handy to lighten the 58.5kg load but she showed maturity to settle Zakynthos Imprintz in third and not be distracted when the field fanned off the turn. Wray stayed close to the inside and when a gap came with 300m to run she sent Zakynthos Imprintz forward to lead from the 200m.
They had a head advantage at the line over From The Vault (54kg ) (Charge Forward) and Christian Reith with Nothing Like Luca (53kg) and apprentice Josh Adams third, the margin a neck.
Zakynthos Imprintz is trained by Gary Hickson on the course and this was his sixth win from 23 starts.

Names don't make the Miami Dolphins offense go

Crooked I - Everythang
Artist: Crooked I
Producer: Dirty Dunnz
Album: Planet C.O.B Vol.1 EP
Label: Treacherous/Dynasty Music Group
Most emcees are willing to stretch the truth a little (or a lot) for the sake of a good rhyme – not Crooked I. As the West Coast underground mainstay explains on the lead single off his forthcoming EP, "I'm doin' Everythang I rap about." Dirty Dunnz keeps it minimal on the production tip, cooking up a percussion-driven instrumental laced with sampled gunshots (and featuring a snippet from fellow Slaughterhouse member Joe Budden's Pump It Up) as Mr. Pig Face Weapon Waist does what he does best, interlacing tales of his one-hundred percent factual exploits with trash talk and vividly-phrased boasts: When I'm spittin' I hope you're findin' the art. When I'm rhymin' I'm minin' for diamonds, I shine in the dark / I'm a neurologist-slash-cardiologist, I touch your mind and your heart." Has Crook killed it yet again? I think I know the answer, but I'll let you have the final say. Those digging it can find plenty more from the Cali vet on his Planet C.O.B. Vol. 1 EP, set to drop August 17. In addition, fans who pre-order the project now will receive Gangsta Cry, an outtake from the B.O.S.S. sessions, as an exclusive bonus!

Whether is he murdering bars alongside his Slaughterhouse mates or more than holding his own on a solo record, Crooked I is always consistently good. Its obvious that he always pushes himself to deliver the best work. I'm looking forward to the new EP.

Out of all the Slaughterhouse emcees Crooked gets the least amount of hype, but that's not a knock on Crooked's skills. As we can hear here, you're not f**king with Crooked's flow. You're just not. This is the west coast at its best.

Set of Two Pro Series IV Solar Path Lights
They Work!
These lamps are a good value for the money. Some reviews have indicated difficulty in getting the lamps to work properly, but I found that by following the instructions carefully, the lamps work as advertised. I've been so pleased in the 2 or so weeks that they've been in place that I may order additional lamps.
May 13, 2013
A good looking product that's better than the large package store examples but I'm not happy that they don't work very well for the price.
May 6, 2013
I read the variety of reviews so I was skeptical and only bought two. However, they look good and work great so I bought six more and I'll probably buy another four. They lit up all night after only a very short time in the sun and we've had no issues. We live in Santa Cruz, CA.
May 5, 2013
We purchased 3 sets of these lights and were excited to do so as they seemed to really fill a need for us. However, they are not performing as advertised and we are disappointed to the point where we will likely have to return. Despite direct sun all day, the night time illumination times are nowhere near what is promised, rendering them effectively useless for what we had hoped to use them for
April 30, 2013
After reviewing dozens of solar lights, I was convinced these lights were better than any of the other ones out there. Ordering was simple & fast delivery was wonderful! I was EXTREMELY happy when I saw my solar lights go on and STAY on for over 6 hours!!!
This is a GREAT product; not only are the solar lights efficient, but they look sleek and elegant , and many of my neighbors express their intent to purchase them for their property! Even my wife loves these FRONTGATE solar lights SO much that she wants me to purchase additional lights for the back of our property although there is no need for lights there! She just wants them because they are "...SO PRETTY!"
April 30, 2013
Concerns about suitability
Some concerns about the suitability of the product, it is not retaining a charge as I had hoped. I am shifting the placement of the solar light to see if this helps.
April 23, 2013
Great Curb Appeal
These solar path lights are substantial in size and light output. Quality material, construction and color make them enhance but blend in naturally with my mulched flower bed. Easily lights the walkway without being glaring. Were easy to install. I like them a lot!
April 23, 2013
Working good so far
I bought one set to try out. The first ones worked well so I bought two more sets. I think I will buy one more set to balance the look at the front of the house. They are working great so far.

Do these look like typical LED solar lights?
I have been looking for solar path lights that don't have the harsh look of typical LED solar lights (i.e. either orange or bright white with a blue tint), but rather look more like hard-wired incandescnet lights. Can anyone tell me if these look more natural?
8 months ago
Dear EDR1:I had the same concern, and took a chance when they were on sale.
To my surprise, they look and shine like hard wired lights.
The light that these lights give off are as bright as a regular light bulb. The quality of the metal case (bronze color) of the body is very good, not like the ones found in some of the stores that sell them by sets of 4. The batteries do last up to 5-6 hrs a night. I have some extras
just incase because they are not the regular size batteries.

VERY BRIGHT AND VERY NATURAL COLOR8 months ago
They look bite white, no blue tinge to them at all.7 months ago
These lights are very bright and do tend to look like the typical bright white LED lamp. They have two settings. I have not tried the lower setting to see how much the brightness is reduced. Either way I think you will still have the Bright White LED look. This worked really nicely for our purposes.Length of Ownership: < 1 year

it is not harsh, when my gust visit my house they all ask wherewe perches from. we loved and bright and pretty.

How many lumens per light?
10 months ago
We appreciate your interest in this item. These lights have two different timer settings - 6 hour and 10 hour. When using the 6 hour timer setting, the light output is 45 lumens constantly. When using the 10 hour timer setting, the light output is 36 lumens for the first 5 hours and 18 lumens for the remaining 5 hours.Answer:
Not sure but they put out adequate light for a path or pool walk.7 months ago

How many lithium batteries per light? How long do the batteries last ?
11 months ago
We appreciate your interest in this item. Each light uses one 18500 Lithium Battery. The batteries should last between 1-2 years with regular use.Answer:
The lights require one lithium battery each. I've had my lights for over two months and I've had to change out only one battery. I have twelve lights.Length of Ownership: < 1 year

This light gives you a choice of 6H or 10Hfor night time use.
I just received these, so I can't answer how long the batteries last....(month wise...)
But they use a 3.2 V size battery instead of
the AA or AAA type rechargable type of
batteries we are familiar with in the US.

just one. looks like a slightly enlarged AA size lithium. please note that my lights only worked about 60 days before giving up, though, with ample sun. Not sure I would trust all the other great reviews, I presume they are guys working for the company.8 months ago

Protein molecules are the structural and functional pillars of the cell. Biologists long believed they did all the cell's heavy lifting, carrying out its functions and orchestrating the thousands of chemical reactions that help it live, grow, and respond to its environment.
But in 1982, with the help of a single-celled pond organism, Thomas R. Cech at the University of Colorado, Boulder, toppled that tenet of biology by showing that RNA, or ribonucleic acid, could act as a catalyst, sparking some of the biochemical reactions that power the cell — in addition to being a carrier of hereditary information. In those studies, Cech and his colleagues showed that RNA is more than a biological middleman, capable only of shepherding hereditary information from one molecule to another.
Enzymes That Are Not Proteins...19 minutes, 384K Real video stream RealPlayer required
In announcing his finding that year, Cech, who became an HHMI investigator in 1988, demonstrated that RNA possessed catalytic powers previously attributed only to protein enzymes, which shear and splice chemical bonds in the elegant molecular interplay essential for the function of every cell. For that work, Cech and Yale University's Sidney Altman, who independently discovered the catalytic properties of RNA, were awarded the 1989 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Cech and his research group made their discovery with an RNA molecule from a unicellular pond microbe known as Tetrahymena. Placing unprocessed Tetrahymena RNA in a test tube, they observed that the RNA could cut and rejoin its own chemical bonds in the absence of any catalytic protein. In other words, they observed RNA's role in facilitating the complex chemical interplay of the cell for the first time.
That new knowledge not only challenged biological gospel, it was powerful evidence that there were probably other hidden avenues of catalysis within cells. Intriguingly, the finding also lent plausibility to the idea that RNA may have played a key role in the advent of life on Earth. All life requires genetic information, usually in the form of DNA. But enzymes and other proteins are required to execute the instructions encoded in DNA, leaving biologists with a classic chicken-and-egg conundrum: Which molecule came first? The discovery of catalytic RNA hints it may have been the first molecule of life, as it can perform the twin functions of carrying genetic information and acting as a catalyst.
Finally, in the context of human health, Cech's discovery suggests it might be possible to develop a new class of antiviral drugs. Catalytic RNAs, or ribozymes, are capable of cleaving viral RNA and inactivating viruses in under controlled laboratory conditions. Study of these molecules may one day lead to new antiviral agents capable of accomplishing the same feat in people to treat colds and other viral ailments. The potential would be the same for other organisms, holding out the possibility of creating therapies for important animal diseases and devising virus-resistant plants.

Take A Picture of Your Birth...It Will Last Longer
Digital cameras are everywhere…documenting everything from mundane meals to cute things kids do. There are still a few high-stakes events that warrant the sticker price of a professional shutterbug: weddings of course, school portraits, and – for a new generation of open-minded Mommies and Daddies – births. The emerging trend was the subject of an article by Elissa Gootman of the New York Times – the only person on our staff who's given birth was grossed out. The new dad was intrigued, so we wanted to find out more. We caught up with a new mom living in Manchester, New Hampshire who made sure her labor was captured in full…

MILLSAP – With our nation's president chosen for another four years, we can all be grateful that freedom still rings and we are the greatest country in the world.
While area early voting in Parker County was reported slower than usual, Election Day in Millsap brought a steady stream of voters to the Community Center. There was more traffic than usual, and the town had an excited air about it, and why not? Choosing the nation's leader, along with other government officials, and voting on issues is very important.
While many were involved and participating on this front, the local post office is going through an adjustment period, under the leadership of its temporary new postmaster. We told you a couple of weeks ago that this job would be filled by Terry Thompson, of Morgan, however the postal service decided instead to send the postmaster from Glen Rose, David Elliott, to work here. He is very friendly and said that there will be a decision made later on as to who will be filling the position on a permanent basis.
As we begin to get into the preliminary steps of Christmas plans, the post office has two kinds of Christmas stamps on hand, plus packaging with a Christmas motif. Stop by, welcome Mr. Elliott, and pick up what you need for holiday mailing.
As always, students over at the elementary are busy on regular school work, plus some exciting extras in conjunction with Thanksgiving. On the 13th, students and anyone in the area who would like to come can enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving feast cooked by the cafeteria staff during lunch time. Tickets are $5 each and can be pre-purchased or bought in the office on feast day. On Nov. 15 students will be presenting a program in their cafeteria at 6:30 p.m. Grades K-5 will sing songs and put on skits about the upcoming holiday. The public is invited to this special presentation that the kids are excitedly looking forward to.
Also, the campus will be involved in a canned food drive before Thanksgiving, and all of the items collected will be distributed to area residents. The students and staff are working hard, and we applaud them in all of their efforts!
Awhile back, we wished James Chipman a "get well soon" from ankle surgery that he had in August, and we want him to know that as his healing is slow we are still thinking of him. This ankle has been a problem most of this very active gentleman's life as a result of a bout with polio. While he has never let the problem keep him down, the surgery became an absolute necessity and the recovery is taking longer than expected. Stick with the rehab, Mr. Chipman and again you are wished a get well!
Nov. 11 is a day to remember on two fronts. It is Veterans Day, and may we be grateful to all of the Veterans who across the generations have been willing to serve to protect and keep us free. Some have given the ultimate sacrifice, may they not be forgotten. Let us also remember the family members who patiently waited and endured while their loved ones served. Thank you veterans!
Also, Nov. 11 is the day of the Millsap VFD turkey dinner. It will take place at Millsap Elementary, 11 a.m.-2 p.m. A donation for the meal will be taken at the door. There will be a split the pot raffle during the meal, and winning desserts from the dessert contest will be raffled off beginning at 1 p.m. Please go and have a great time, while supporting a worthy cause.
A last reminder that Midpoint Chapel, 2312 S. Farm-to-Market Road 113, Millsap, will have a free winter wear giveaway for area kids on Nov. 17, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Hats, gloves, coats, shoes and boots will be available.
