Born in Taiwan in 1949, I am a banker. I started taking pictures seriously 20 years ago, and learned photography relying on self-taught.
In the spring of 2014, my first encounter with the X-T1 of Fujifilm, I was overwhelmingly convinced by its high image quality, friendly operation concept and lightweight. The latter is more important to the old-aged photographer.
The most attractive feature of X-T1 camera for me is its monitor. The monitor produces very clear image on the screen even beneath the bright sky. It becomes so easy to make an accurate exposure what you like. Once the exposure is firmly controlled, you may just concentrate on the composition, tone & mood, pattern, lighting, etc.
Now I am very comfortable to rely on Fujifilm X-T1 no matter in my mother country or abroad. On each photography journey since 2014, I only carry X-T1 along with me. There is no way for me to return back with other cameras anymore.
X-T1 helps me enjoy more fun on the entire process of photo taking.

Adams State introduces new minor in Latino Studies
An information session about a new minor in Latino Studies is planned for noon on Friday, April 11, at Adams State University's C.A.S.A. house, located on Faculty Dr. just north of First St. Faculty will make a presentation and answer questions, and refreshments will be served.
The new minor is a cross-disciplinary program housed in the Department of History, Anthropology, Philosophy, Political Science, and Spanish. According to Dr. Ed Crowther, professor of history and department chair, the minor gives students in any major the opportunity to expand their understanding of economic, social, and cultural relationships in an ever more globalized world. It includes courses from the fields of language, history, literature, sociology, and political science, taught by faculty with expertise in Latino aspects of these fields.
"With the San Luis Valley as our home, with its rich, Hispanic culture, this is one way Adams State keeps those traditions and heritage alive," Crowther said.
The Latino Studies minor requires students take 19 credit hours. Four credits must be in Elementary Spanish I or II, with the remainder selected from among 10 courses in various disciplines. Students must take at least one course each from English, political science, history, and sociology.
Three courses applicable to the minor will be offered for the Fall Semester 2014: SPAN 103: Elementary Spanish I, ENG 365: Ethnic & Minority Lit, and HIST 328: Chicano History.

Balanced attack propels No. 5 Cornell
Big Red have 11 different players score goals en route to victory
ITHACA, N.Y. -- Eleven different players scored a goal and birthday boy Roy Lang was dominant in the midfield to lead No. 5 Cornell to a 14-10 victory against Harvard on Saturday afternoon at Schoellkopf Field. The Big Red improved to 8-1 (4-0 Ivy) with the victory, while the Crimson dropped to 5-5 (2-1 Ivy).
Lang was a dominant force on both sides of the field and especially between the restraining lines. He ended up with a game-high five points (three goals and two assists) while winning four ground balls, causing two turnovers and spearheading a clearing game that was a near-perfect 22-of-23 on the day.
Besides Lang, three other Big Red players had multi-point efforts. Matt Donovan had two goals and an assist, while both JJ Gilbane and Max Van Bourgondien each were credited with a goal and an assist. Thomas Keith won six ground balls and scored a goal with the pole, while Doug Tesoriero was 11-of-20 on faceoffs. The rest of the squad went 1-for-8 as Harvard controlled the faceoff-X by a small margin, taking 16-of-28 re-starts.
Andrew West made eight saves in goal for the Big Red in anchoring a defense that surrendered just one goal in the first 31:12. Mike Bronzino and Jason Noble each had a pair of caused turnovers as Cornell had nine total as a team.
The Big Red held a 42-32 advantage in shots, while ground balls were even at 34-34. Cornell capitalized on the team's only extra-man opportunity.
Both Ryan Stevens and Jeff Cohen had three goal and an assist and Jack Breit had a goal and an assist to go along with his four ground balls. Keegan Michel was 15-of-26 on the faceoff X and won five ground balls, while Stephen Jahelka won seven possessions on ground balls.
Cornell went into the halftime with a comfortable 6-1 lead thanks to five consecutive Big Red goals. The game had a much different feel after the break, as the teams combined for 17 scores, but the Crimson weren't able to get closer than three goals the rest of the way despite giving the home team some anxious moments.
After six minutes of full-field action, the Big Red defense forced a turnover and Lang cleared it himself. The senior found a wide-open Keith in front of the goal. The long pole cleanly caught the pass and shoveled it past Gambitsky to make it 1-0. The Crimson knotted the score just under two minutes later later after winning the face-off. Harvard controlled possession until Cohen found Ryan Stevens in front of the cage for an easy 6-yard shot.
Harvard again won the face-off, but after the Big Red caused a turnover, Lang took home a long pass, streaked in from the restraining line and buried a shot to put the home team back in the lead.
Early in the second quarter, Cornell had an opportunity with the goalkeeper out of the net, but Gilbane's shot was saved by a Harvard defender who jumped into the crease. It didn't matter, as Donovan was able to beat a man around the crease and finished to make it 3-1 just moments later. It was 4-1 just 1:20 later when Mitch McMichael cashed in on the team's first man-up situation, firing in a rocket after Donovan found him on a cross-field pass.
Gambitsky made an impressive kick save to stuff Mock a 1-on-1 fastbreak, but after winning the race to the end line, Lang struck again. He took two hits and shrugged both off, finishing with his right hand from 8-yards out with a rocket over the Crimson keeper's shoulder. Cornell continued to build the lead when Van Bourgondien found Gilbane for another short range shot to push it to 6-1. Neither team would be able to convert in the final five minutes of the half.
The teams traded goals early in the second half, with the Big Red extending the lead to six at 9-3 when Lang completed the hat trick. Harvard answered back just 15 seconds later to begin a three-goal run for the visitors to get back in the game. Cohen scored his third of the night 42 seconds into the fourth to make it 9-6, but that was as close as Harvard would get. The Crimson again cut the deficit to three at 11-8 and 12-9, but Cornell scored three times in the final 3:02 to put the game away.

NORRISTOWN — American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once wrote that age is opportunity no less than youth itself.
Oscar Vance must agree, because the former Chief County Detective with the Montgomery County District Attorney's office is bringing young and old together with the ambitious nonprofit Vance Community Partners.
"We're looking to make a difference to empower youth and the elderly," Vance said.
"The elderly are where the youth are going to learn from. If a kid can't absorb the rules and regulations for their household, how can we expect those same kids to go out into the community and respect themselves, the community, the police, their teachers and all those other people they come in contact with? It all starts in the household."
A "wine, food and sound extravaganza," at Valley Forge Casino Resort, will officially kick off VCP on Nov. 15.
In the works for a decade, VCP, which will operate from a three-story building in the 700 block of Cherry Street, adjacent to Vance's private investigation firm, will bridge the gap between kids, older folks and many partner organizations, Vance said.
"We're tying in partnerships with other agencies in the area, including Greater Norristown PAL, Abington PAL, Citizens and Police Together and Laurel House," noted Vance, a founder of Abington PAL. "One of our goals is to draw on the resources that are already here and to fill in the gaps developing a stronger relationship with law enforcement. Being in law enforcement and in the Norristown area for 48 years I know the needs that are here, not only in Norristown but throughout Montgomery County. In view of what's been going on with the crime situation," Vance added, "we wanted to start Norristown as a model to develop some relationships with the organizations as well as the parents, teachers, schools …. all those things combined."
Technology stations equipped with computers expected to be furnished by IBM and other companies, will be used by kids and adults, Vance said.
"So many of the elderly don't know how to use computers, and in terms of the youth we're going to have aviation simulators that will help teach them about aviation history, the Wright Brothers and the Tuskegee Airmen."
The staff, currently made up of half a dozen volunteers, includes a Tuskegee Airmen historian.
But kids won't limit their experience to just sitting at a computer for hours; they'll be getting out into the world with field trips to airfields to get a taste of the high-flying life.
"I think it's going to be fascinating for them because it's new and different, with the scientific and mathematic aspects of aviation," Vance said. "The main thing is to channel their energy into things that are resourceful, to gain respect and confidence and become better citizens of their community."
Other field trips will take place at the courthouse, he added.
"I did that when I was with the District Attorney's office and I saw how effective it was. I saw some kids make a 360 degree turn as far as some of those trips we made," he recalled.
Vance hopes to use his connections with Retired Senior Citizens Volunteer Program to spark interest in older folks who are eager to embrace a little technology and a lot of mentoring.
Mentorships are also in development through an alliance with the Big Brothers organization.
"With what these kids are getting into today they need someone to guide them towards respect, confidence and better attendance and understanding at school," Vance said. "We'd like to develop a relationship with these adults in terms of how to deal with the youth, from the standpoint of parenting. It all starts in the home."

Schedule your campus visit today!
The curriculum in the DO program was designed to address key recommendations from the 2010Carnegie Report, Educating Physicians: A Call for Reform of Medical School and Residency, which is an important review of the methods and practices of medical education over the last 100 years. A state-of-the-art learning environment, our integrated competency based curriculum, and focus on student learning has been designed to prepare the next generation of physicians to have successful careers in all areas of medicine.
As evidence that MU-COM's innovative curriculum is preparing medical students for successful careers in the health care profession, as of May 1, 2017, MU-COM's first-time pass rate for COMLEX Level 1 was 94.81% and COMLEX Level 2 was 90.23%. As of April 17, 2017, the DO Class of 2017 residency match rate was 99.2%. More information will be presented in the near future.
Admission requirements to the DO Program
First and foremost, the curriculum was developed to focus on your learning. Biomedical courses have a clinical basis, giving you the understanding of how to integrate the scientific information into patient care and treatment. A variety of teaching methods including lectures, laboratories, case-based seminars, small group learning, flipped classrooms, podcasts, problem-based learning, team-based learning, and early clinical experiences give you a unique opportunity to master your understanding of basic sciences.
Clinical courses occur in each of the four semesters in years one and two. They include hands-on skills laboratory and case-based problem-solving sessions and are integrated with the concurrent biomedical science courses.
Once completing the first two years of biomedical sciences and clinical skills courses, you'll begin rotating through CORE rotations through the third and fourth year. During the third year you will rotate through a number of primary care and specialty care clinical settings including family medicine, internal medicine, general surgery, radiology, and multiple others in rural, suburban, and urban environments. The first portion of the fourth year will be spent completing the CORE rotations, while the nearly 5 months remaining will be spent on elective rotations, which give you an opportunity to rotate at hospitals where you'd like to complete a residency. It will also give you many opportunities to complete specialty, sub-specialty, and/or clinical internship rotations.
All of this equates to a competent and compassionate osteopathic physician who is prepared to handle the rigors of being a leader in the osteopathic community.
Hospitals and other healthcare employers are seeking physicians who have the ability to work in an ever changing healthcare environment. MU-COM offers a uniquely integrated and team-based approach to the medical training curriculum by integrating didactic and clinical competencies, offering inter-professional education with nursing students, including a clinical basis to biomedical science courses, and providing you with clinical experiences in your first and second year of medical school.
Courses are taught by our award winning faculty. Biomedical and clinical faculty will help you obtain the knowledge needed to successfully treat the root cause of a disease, but also show the compassion and patient centered approaches central to osteopathic medicine. They will also help you attain the foundation to be highly successful during your clinical rotations in years three and four.
To help achieve this understanding, faculty will help you understand the systems and structures of the human body in our state-of-the-art anatomy lab, better understand how structure and function work together, develop your hands into treatment instruments by utilizing our OMM lab, as well as teach you examination procedures using our simulation and examination rooms.
This is the CORE year for clinical training. The purpose of the third year is to provide the student with a broad exposure to areas of medicine that represent most of the areas that will be addressed in residencies and practice. It also provides some opportunities to select electives that amplify one or two of the areas in the CORE the student is most interested.
There are seven areas that make up the CORE content of the third year—family medicine, internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics, pediatrics, emergency medicine, and psychiatry. Family medicine, emergency medicine and internal medicine are eight weeks and all the others are four week rotations. Family medicine and emergency medicine have been split into a third and a fourth year rotation. Radiology has been included as a skill set, along with ortho/sports medicine.
Most of the third year rotations will take place at one of our clinical partners, but there will be opportunities for third year students to explore other educational environments.
In the fourth and final year, there are also some required rotations that emphasize the primary care aspects of the curriculum. The rotations expose students to the practice of medicine outside of an urban setting. There are required rotations in rural medicine and critical access hospitals which will be linked for a total of eight weeks, and the fourth year component to family medicine and emergency medicine as well as a Public Health rotation.
For the remainder of the fourth year the student has been given the opportunity to work with faculty to develop his/her own interests with an eye toward doing interview rotations with residency programs in areas where the student may want to do residency training. Many of the rotations will take place at one of our clinical partners, but a list of electives and potential sites will be provided.
The fourth year curriculum is also scheduled in a manner that best accommodates interview rotations and other requirements needed for graduation and licensing exams.

Why, you ask? A very good question. It may not come with the greatest answer but it remains a very good question.
On Tuesday -- the day of their final spring home game in Phoenix and when they began making cuts -- the Dodgers announced they had acquired two new players. They signed right-hander Freddy Garcia and sent cash to the Rangers for utilityman Elliot Johnson.
Not exactly earthshaking stuff. Neither has a prayer of making the team out of camp, so naturally you may wonder why even bother? Beyond because they can, there are some good-enough reasons.
The Dodgers had planned -- or hoped -- Erik Bedard and Chad Gaudin would offer some rotation depth should something...

Back to Inherent Vice. Katherine Waterston gives a breakout turn as Shasta. People after the premiere were saying that her nude scene is this movies equivalent of There Will Be Bloods I drink your milkshake!Good. I think thats good, right? The sex scene is pretty much how it is in the book. It becomes something that is special and unique because its one shot, which is always ideal, particularly if someone is naked and really vulnerable, instead of saying, Youre gonna have to do this 40 times in five different ways. That was a good one. Concise, focused, and letting her have opportunities to do a good take. But I like that people are responding to that scene because I think its a special one.
hes on the fucking case; he doesnt know what the case is, but hes fucking on it

Apple Launches Investigation Into Celebrity iCloud Hack
The tech company is scrambling to do damage control.
This weekend, a number of celebrities had their privacy invaded when a hacker obtained personal photographs from various digital devices, and began spreading them across the Internet. Among those affected were Ariana Grande, Aubrey Plaza, Bar Rafaeli, Jennifer Lawrence, Kaley Cuoco, Kate Upton, Kirsten Dunst, Victoria Justice, and many more. While some of the photographs were perfectly innocent, though still private moments, many of the images were nude or were otherwise sexually explicit. The photographs were posted onto 4Chan and then Reddit, and began circulating from there.
It looks like an iCloud hack is to blame for many of these leaked photographs. Jennifer Lawrence's photographs, which were perhaps the most widely circulated from the batch, were all stolen from an iCloud account. Lawrence's spokesperson told the press, "This is a flagrant violation of privacy. The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence."
Now, Apple is scrambling to do damage control. Apple told Re/code, "We take user privacy very seriously and are actively investigating this report." Github and CNet point to the "Find My iPhone" feature as the key culprit in this hack. This feature "could allow a brute force attack in which multiple, rapid-fire attempts are made to correctly guess an account's password," explains CNet. Apple allows an unlimited number of password attempts.
While it is possible the hack was made possible by an Apple loophole, security experts believe that this could have been easily prevented with two-step verification, in which the user can only sign in with a password and a verification code sent to their phone, email, or a secondary device. With this security feature turned on, a hacker would need access to the secondary verification system, in addition to the password, to break into the iCloud camera roll.
If you aren't already using it, now is a great time to turn on two-step verification for all your Apple devices.

Each week, we'll ask our stable of scribes to weigh in on the three most important NBA topics of the day — and then give you a chance to step on the scale, too, in the comments below.
Week 22: Heat running the table? | Dream first-round matchup | Best player you won't see in playoffs
What's a first-round matchup you'd like to see?
Steve Aschburner: If you could get, right out of the chute, what many expected could be the Western Conference finals, who wouldn't want to see that? So I'd be glued to Lakers vs. Spurs, on paper one of the most amazing No. 1 vs. No. 8 opening rounds in NBA history. Big names and reputations everywhere, old nemeses in new colors and circumstances, the Lakers' last best chance to salvage their season vs. what might be the Spurs' last best chance to win a title with its historic Big 3.
Fran Blinebury: Thunder vs. Rockets. Revenge of the Beard. Hangin' it on Harden. Slammin' it at Sam (Presti). OK can you C me now? Hey K-Mart, there's a mess on Aisle 4. Need I go on? I can't ever remember a player as young and as good and as critical as James Harden being bounced off a Finals team and getting a chance to stick it in the ear of the bouncers just a few months later in the playoffs. This would be simply delicious.
Jeff Caplan: Out here in the Western Conference, where there's actually more than one team of intrigue, there's several would-be matchups to ponder. However, one in position to launch right now is James Harden against his old mates: Rockets vs. Thunder. Houston is 1-2 against OKC this season, but both losses, coming by a combined 52 points, were in 2012 when the team was still new and adjusting, and coach Kevin McHale spent a month away on personal leave after the death of his daughter. In 2013, the high-powered Rockets are 1-0 against the Thunder with a 122-119 victory in Houston on Feb. 20. Harden has averaged 29.3 points against his former team, has shot 55.0 percent from 3-point range and has averaged 12.3 free throws in the three meetings. Imagine the pressure on the reigning champs and Harden-replacement Kevin Martin against The Beloved Beard and a Rockets squad that has swapped the top spot with OKC all season as the highest scoring team in the league.
Scott Howard-Cooper: Clippers-Lakers. It may not happen because the Lakers may not get up to No. 6, even if the Clips get to 3. But if it does, what a moment for Clippers credibility, to be able to be the team that drives the Lakers season into the ground once and for all.
John Schuhmann: Pretty much any matchup in the West. Seriously, I look at those eight teams (assuming the Lakers hold on to the eighth spot) and there's not one series I wouldn't thoroughly enjoy. Even the Grizzlies, who play the best defense and play at the slowest pace of all those teams, are fun to watch. In the East, I would love to see any series between the Knicks, Nets and Celtics. The regular-season matchups between those three teams (with the exception of Tuesday's game in Boston, which was lacking two very ornery defensive anchors) have been intense, and an Atlantic Division playoff series would be crazy. Knicks-Celtics looks like the most likely scenario of the three possibilities.
Sekou Smith: There are potential first round matchups that intrigue on both sides of the conference divide. That Denver-Memphis clash in the West, New York-Boston in the East or even a San Antonio-Los Angeles Lakers showdown. But if the basketball powers that be would be so kind as to grant us a Los Angeles Clippers-Golden State Warriors tilt in the first round, I'd be forever grateful. Styles make fights and this one would be filled with non-stop action. Generally, the outcome of first-round series tend to stick to the seeding. But the Clippers and Warriors could be a free-for-all without a clear-cut favorite. The Clippers might have the better record, but they've had all sorts of trouble with the Warriors this season. The Warriors won the season series 3-1. The Warriors handed the Clippers their first loss of the season, 114-110, on Nov. 4 at Staples Center, and one of their worst losses of the season, a 115-94 beating in Oakland that was their second straight loss after the Clippers' franchise-record 17-game win streak (Denver snapped the streak a night earlier). These teams haven't played since Jan. 21, but you had better believe they'd both be eager to battle for state bragging rights, what with the Lakers limping down the stretch of the season and not guaranteed to even make the postseason.

Given that we're over a month past the April 22 price cuts, I've removed that column.
It was nice to know how the prices have tumbled down over the months.
It was nice to know how the prices have tumbled down over the months.
It still makes a nice space heater... but there's even less reason to buy one now
I've been holding out due to other projects consuming my income.. but this makes it obvious that now is the time for things to get bumped.
My DVR is currently an Athlon XP 2500+, and my desktop is an A64 3000. I'm so out of date. My wife, for the first time ever, has a faster machine than I, and its a laptop (C2D). Less ram though.
July 22 will be my time to upgrade
I just picked up a x2 4800 65w and mobo at Fry's last night for $129 as a replacement for my wifes Northwood 2.4 (yes the board is ECS but for what she does with her PC it's more than adequate) - the proc actually ended up in my VMWare box and she got the x2 4200 that was in that machine (which I got for <$100 along with a gigabyte board) - anyway - killer deals all around and only going to get better....
To be followed by Intel cuts???
One can only hope! Price wars rock!
All right, fine. I've added in a whole bunch of historical price information starting early this year.
I've added a column for these, based on AMD's current official price list and the information that the dual-core processors will see a 20% cut and single-core processors will see a 15% cut.
Probably a response to Intel's new releases on Jul 22nd.
20% probably isn't going to be enough given the E6540 for $163.
Is the Q6600 going to go to a Q6650 with 1333 FSB??
I must note that these prices are pretty crazy!
AFAIK the quad-cores are staying at the 1066 MT/s FSB for now; the July 22 introductions don't include any 1333 MT/s FSB Kentsfields from what we know. There are quad-core Xeons (Clovertown) in the E53x5/X53x5 series with 1333 MT/s FSBs, but you need a 5000 series (Blackford) chipset LGA 771 motherboard with FB-DIMMs, which is an expensive proposition (with high memory latency).
Awesome ! Now I want to have your man babies.
Aww. Maybe one will just overclock to there anyway.
I expect many will, considering they're effectively two E6600s in the same package. Raise the FSB from 266 MHz to 333 MHz and if necessary, the voltage, and you have yourself a 3 GHz "Q6850" for $266 next month.
from Anandtech:
It is a noteworthy advantage with the P35 chipset motherboards that every Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processor we tested on the P35 boards ran at 1333 FSB speeds at the stock multiplier without the need to increase voltage. This is a significant, free, and pain-free overclock provided courtesy of the new 1333 bus speed option. The only exception to this was our top-line X6800 which did require a mild voltage boost to run at 333x11 (3.67GHz)."
Takes all the guesswork out of it for you, it seems.
why isn't this a sticky?
Did we want it to be a sticky?
No one's e-mailed me asking it to be a sticky.
Does Prototyped want to maintain it for the rest of the year?
It is back at its normal price now. odd
It's at 65.99 now. 7/5/07 1pm EST
The July 22nd price cut was pushed back to July 29th for Xeon processors:
So, am I reading the OP post list right? No E6700 price cut on the 22nd?
Seems like it. $183 for a 6750 is good enough.
There has to be. It would not make sense to have E6750 priced lower than E6700, unless it's a temporary move.
I think the price cut for E6700 isn't available to the media at this time so the OP left it blank.
I said this very same thing and (I think it was) continuum made a very good point; the E6750 doesn't help users utilizing boards that can't support processors with >1066 FSB. For those users to move to the 6750 they'd have to buy new MBs (and possibly several other components), so it's not really necessary to drop the price of the 6700 in line with the 6750.
So from Intel's perspective, what do you think is the percentage of their customers who actually upgrade their PC component by component? I'd say very small. Small enough that it won't have an effect on their bottomline. Therefore, that is a moot point.
When most people (not just people at Ars) upgrade, they generally buy a new computer, or upgrade with a completely new set of components. I am lazy enough that I fall in the latter camp. I do re-use parts, but in general I change out MB, CPU, RAM, and a get bigger HD.
Of course, either way it goes, I will be getting something after July 22.
The AMD cuts are here, so I will be doing an update shortly. I lost the worksheet I'd been using to produce the chart, so I'll have to recreate it; bear with me.
Thanks for stickying the thread, IceStorm. I'll try my best to keep the list up to date.
Well, according to HKEPC the E6x00/E6x20 series will stay where they are:
So yeah, you'd want the 1333 MT/s FSB processors.
Edit: Updated the price list. Intel's budget processors have gotten somewhat pricier while AMD's pricier processors have gotten cheaper.
ahhhhh, frys' deals... $299 on 4th of july for this, so the crap ECS doorstop they included as part of the $299 combo was really only $33...
Newegg meanwhile has the processor below the Intel list price of $530ish (around $480), but still not at Fry's level.
Last time I got a proc from Frys about half the pins on the CPU were crushed because they stuck a Socket 939 CPU into a Socket 474 case.
Not an issue with retail CPUs, I know, but still....
Well, it was a 1 day only sale for Independence Day. I had to take the repackaged retail crap they had, then I showed up the following Saturday right when they opened to exchange it for a brand-shiny-new one. A lot of hassle, but to get a Q6600 two weeks early, well, why not.
So how is the performance? Overclocking results? Do tell! Do tell!
I couldn't help but notice that you blurred out the serial numbers. Sorry , I am dumb, but is there a reason behind this ?
Not just you, but I have seen this in other places too. So I am sort of puzzled... I mean, it isn't a software serial number or anything.
Warranty purposes. Not that I expect to have to use the warranty, but that's why.
Just passed 36 hours of Orthos at 3.2ghz/1.325v (default voltage). Ambient temp of 26C lead to peak temps of 81/80/77/77C on the cores, roughly. Current in distributed.net OGR at 26C ambient, 75/75/73/72C right now. Heatsink is a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme with a Nexus 120mm fan and Arctic Silver 5.
Throttle point on this CPU is 96C, roughly, which means I probably have some headroom to shoot for 3.4 or 3.5ghz, although from what it looks like on these B3 stepping chips, 3.5ghz or a little more is the ragged edge. The upcoming G0 chips seem to be doing better from what I've head, easily mid-3ghz range for most on air, a few doing a skosh better than that-- as opposed to 3.0~3.1ghz for the B3's.
Ah, I am glad that my Q6600 is getting to the same temps under load. I was sort of worried that I had not seated the heatsink right.
Load your cpu with the iTAT tool, and I think you will see higher temps on the first two cores. Mine consistently hit 89~91C using iTAT while Orthos gave me similar temps as yours.
I've updated the price list. Intel's Netburst processors have gotten significantly more expensive; presumably their supply is drying up in the channels. In the meantime, with the exception of certain Windsor processors that AMD no longer makes, AMD's low-end and mainstream parts have gotten significantly cheaper. The ones no longer being made have gotten more expensive, however. AMD's 45W Brisbane parts, BE-2300 and BE-2350, are now available.
Yes, I expect the iTAT tool to run higher temps. Burn-in with S&M passed with flying colors as well so I think I'm in good shape.
It's better than 30C in here right now so I think I'll hold off. Better go turn the air conditioner on...
Zipzoomfly Q6600 $399
And so the price drops begin...
Is 90C not fatal for a chip these days?
I'm trying to decide between one of the Q6600s and the new dual core E6850 and cant decide. I do alot of Photoshop and alot of games which seem to be at odds with eachother. If the Q6600 can easily be overclocked to 3.0Ghz or higher, it might be a no-brainer for me....
Depends on the chip. Intel specs the Q6600 B3-stepping to 100C, which means most chips actually don't throttle til somewhere between 90C and 100C reported in Intel TAT or Coretemp software (mine hits 96C as the throttle point-- the way those programs dervive the reported temp is imperfect, which explains the variation).
One of the few E6750's so far: http://www.allstarshop.com/shop/simprod.asp?pid=18148&ad=pwatch
I'm sure by week's end they'll be available all over the place.
I can't WAIT!

After teasing us earlier last month with its silhouette, Mission Motors has finally taken the wraps off its Mission R electric race bike.
Boasting some big numbers, namely a 14.4 kWh battery pack and a 3-phace AC induction motor that makes 141hp and 115 lbs•ft of torque, the Mission R ticks all the right performance boxes with its 160mph top speed, 100 kW motor controller, regenative breaking, and barely race legal 545 lbs weight.
Taking lessons learned from the Mission One, Mission Motors has built the Mission R from the ground-up, and tapped some well known names to help the company make this striking motorcycle.
With James Parker (of GSX-RADD fame) designing the chassis, and Tim Prentice of Motonium working on the industrial design, the Mission R is not only a very pleasing motorcycle to look at (drool over that billet single-sided swingarm), but also incorporates some advanced concepts to make it a potent and compact racing weapon.
Oh, and did we mention the bike looks freaking fantastic?

Women who received an experimental cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine were 50 percent less likely to later become infected with CMV than were women who received a placebo. The findings of this NIAID-sponsored Phase II clinical trial will appear in the March 19 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Healthy people typically experience no symptoms after being infected with CMV and once infected will carry the virus for life. The virus can be passed to an unborn baby from an infected mother. Infants with such congenital infections can develop severe hearing, cognitive or motor impairments. There is currently no vaccine against CMV, but the results of this trial show it is possible to prevent CMV infections through vaccination and that it may be possible to develop a vaccine to prevent congenital CMV.

Mayor-President Kip Holden fired Baton Rouge Police Chief Dewayne White on Wednesday, leading to speculation that his clashes with the police union may have played a role in his ouster.
Holden refused comment about the reasons for White's dismissal when he emerged from a side door to his office about 4 p.m. In response to questions from news reporters who had staked out his office, the mayor said repeatedly with a smile: "We don't discuss personnel matters."
William Daniel, Holden's chief administrative officer, also declined comment on the reasons White was fired.
"When the story is ready to come out, it will come out," Daniel said.
The Mayor's Office did not respond to requests for a copy of White's termination letter.
Baton Rouge Police Lt. Carl Dabadie Jr. confirmed he is assuming the chief's duties for now.
"I have taken his responsibilities since he has been terminated," said Dabadie, who has been with the department more than 26 years.
A Police Department spokesman, Cpl. Tommy Stubbs, said Dabadie served as chief of staff to White, and in that position , by departmental policy, automatically assumes the chief's duties in his absence.
White could not be reached for comment, and no one answered when a reporter knocked on the door of his house.
Attorney Jill Craft said White has retained her as his legal counsel.
"Chief White will issue a formal statement through his attorney, me, tomorrow," Craft said.
Several members of the East Baton Rouge Metro Council said Wednesday they were surprised and disappointed at the news that White had been fired.
"I would like to know what happened," Councilman Trae Welch said. "If there was a problem, then we should have been informed."
He said he had called Holden's staff, but as of midafternoon Wednesday, had received no response. He said he was disappointed to find out about White's firing from the news media.
Welch praised White for his tenure, saying that. "The chief has always been extremely responsive to any questions or issues that I as a council person have had."
Councilwoman C. Denise Marcelle said she thought the chief was doing a good job and laid some of the blame for his firing at the feet of the police officers' union.
"There was a lot of pressure from the union to get rid of him because he got rid of the good-old-boy era," Marcelle said. "He came in and tried to make everybody equal and that's apparently not what they wanted."
Chris Stewart, president of Baton Rouge Union of Police Local 237, did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday.
Marcelle said she found out White had been dismissed when someone called to ask about it.
"It would have been nice if we would have had a courtesy call," Marcelle said. "I just saw the mayor this morning and he didn't say anything to me."
Councilman Joel Boé said the move did not come as a surprise to him.
"The handwriting's been on the wall," he said. "He did ruffle some feathers in the union."
Boé praised White as a leader.
"Him being added to the force has been nothing but positive," he said. "I wish he would have been given a little bit more time."
Mayor Pro Tem Chandler Loupe said did not know why the chief was let go. He said he respected White but it is up to the mayor to decide whom he wants serving as chief.
Loupe said the mayor would be criticized no matter what he decided.
"He knows more than anyone in the city of Baton Rouge as to why this happened," Loupe said. "He wouldn't make a decision that's a detriment to the city."
Councilman John Delgado agreed that it's the mayor's prerogative to hire and fire police chiefs.
Councilwoman Donna Collins-Lewis said she was saddened by White's firing because she thought he was doing a good job building relationships with the community "in a way that maybe other chiefs hadn't."
Councilwoman Tara Wicker said she was "floored" by the news because she thought the Police Department was moving in a positive direction under White's leadership.
"We don't have any info about what realistically has happened," she said.
Wicker said she was seeing more officers on the street and receiving a positive response from the community about White.
"I am kind of without answers," she said.
The news of White's firing broke shortly after the end of a news conference about gun safety attended by White, Holden, District Attorney Hillar Moore III, Sheriff Sid Gautreaux and Coroner Beau Clark.
Moore said Wednesday that he had heard rumors about a month ago that White might be fired.
"I don't have any idea what the reasons for the termination are," Moore said. "Regardless of whatever the reasons are, my office and myself, we enjoyed a good, cooperative relationship with Chief White."
Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Casey Rayborn Hicks said Gautreaux declined comment on White's firing.
State Police Col. Mike Edmonson said he called White after learning of his dismissal.
"I called him as a friend to check on him because I care about him," Edmonson said. "He's a good guy and a good person."
During White's tenure, the city-parish launched a program in cooperation with other law enforcement officials called the Baton Rouge Area Violence Elimination Project, or BRAVE, to fight violence in the city's high crime areas, such as the 70805 ZIP code. The area is generally bordered by Airline Highway to the north and east, Choctaw Drive to the south and the Mississippi River to the west.
Five police officers were assigned to work in that area as part of BRAVE to earn the trust of residents so they would give officers information about criminal activity. The Police Department and other agencies also have reached out to clergy in the 70805 ZIP code to earn their trust.
Pastor Robert Davis, head of the Berean Seventh-Day Adventist Congregation on Fairfields Avenue, said he and other clergy had a good working relationship with White because he reached out to leaders in the city's black community for their support.
Davis, who called White's firing a "sad day," said the city's black residents have not had a strong relationship with the Police Department in the past. He said White tried to improve that relationship.
"I think that this firing is going to set us back some. It's going to set back relationships between the Police Department and the African American community and the African-American clergy — especially that we don't know what's going on or why he was fired," Davis said.
White was named the city's 27th police chief on May 27, 2011, after working in State Police for more than 20 years, including as command inspector of State Police's Joint Emergency Services Training Complex. White served 6½ years with the Baton Rouge Police Department's Uniform Patrol, Traffic and Motorcycle divisions prior to joining State Police.
White said when he was named police chief that he would instill discipline and accountability in the department and would seek to gain public trust through efforts such as community policing. During his public interview process for the job, White said he would find new positions for officers who have "retired in place" and put them in positions where they would have to start earning their paychecks.
White clashed with the city's police union several times after becoming chief.
White said shortly after he was sworn in that the department was top heavy and that he planned on moving some high-ranking officers from desk jobs to supervisory roles in the field.
Some officers upset over the transfers filed grievances with the Baton Rouge Union of Police Local 237 while others took their complaints to the Internet, posting songs on Facebook and YouTube that made fun of their colleagues who had either been transferred or who had ordered such moves.
The union sided with some of the officers and persuaded the chief to rescind some of the transfers.
White also publicly criticized the union, telling those attending a March meeting of the Baton Rouge Rotary Club that the union was his biggest obstacle to making systematic changes to the Police Department.
The chief ruffled feathers in October 2011 when he said during a radio interview that some officers became so accustomed to dealing with criminals who are black that it "becomes ingrained … that most people (the officers) come across with that color of skin are probably criminals."
Stewart, the police union's president, fired back days later on the same radio show, saying the chief's comments were unfair and inaccurate. He said the Police Department is a nationally accredited, "flagship department," and "to paint us in any other light is offensive."
Holden selected White from a list of five finalists chosen by an advisory committee.
The search for a new police chief began in November 2010, when Jeff LeDuff announced his retirement and Charles Mondrick, a 32-year Police Department veteran and former commander of uniform patrol, temporarily took over the position.
LeDuff declined comment Wednesday.
Fifty-two people applied for the chief's position after LeDuff stepped down.
The Baton Rouge Municipal Fire and Police Civil Service Board ruled that 41 applicants were eligible to take the civil service police chief exam. Thirty-two of the 41 people took the test, and 30 of those applicants passed.
The pool of 30 was narrowed to 11 and then down to five by an advisory committee Holden formed. Holden picked White out of the group of five.
Advocate staff reporters Jim Mustian, Steven Ward, Bret H. McCormick and Ryan Broussard contributed to this article.

Either way, gas is still WAY cheaper here in the states than most other places in the world...just look at Europe.
When I filled up the company truck yesterday in San Francisco, premium was $3.16.
Yeah, but I'm not terribly concerned with Europe's prices since I don't live there. What prices are here effects my life on a daily basis.
I remember the lowest I ever paid for gas in Colorado was $0.89/gallon and that was probably 12 years or so ago.

Senate Minority Leader Leroy Garcia has emerged as a passionate public lands advocate. He was the prime sponsor on the reauthorization of the Colorado Lottery division, which provides vital funding for
, a program that supports outdoor recreation and land conservation in all 64 counties in the state. Additionally, in response to the Trump administration's attempt to lease lands near the Great Sand Dunes National Park for oil and gas drilling, Sen. Garcia penned a passionate op-ed in the Pueblo Chieftain , condemning the federal push to auction off our public lands as "a direct threat to our communities, our economy, and our way of life."
As the new Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Garcia has stepped up to the plate and batted on behalf of public lands protections.

There doesn't seem to be a pressing West Slope issue that Senator Kerry Donovan won't take on. From

to gathering climate change data , Sen. Donovan advances legislation that addresses the intersections between dynamic policies, resource accessibility, and geographical challenges.
Sen. Donovan also sponsored a water conservation bill, the
Carolbar Womens Lace Up Pointed Toe Nubuck High Heel Short Boots Red DQvdeKo
bill, that alleviates some of the demand on our overstretched rivers by expanding the opportunities to use recycled water. Together, these pieces of legislation convey Sen. Donovan's drive to fight for our communities and urban water conservation to reduce the pressure on the water supplies of Colorado's agricultural industry on the West Slope.
As Speaker of the House and Senate Minority Leader, Representative Crisanta Duran and Senator Lucia Guzman have fought for all Coloradans. They have advocated for urgent action to fight climate change, negotiated bipartisan compromises to ensure transportation options that make sense for all of us, and spoken up for those whose voices have been marginalized for far too long. This session, their leadership in standing by sexual harassment survivors was an exceptional example that such behavior will not and cannot be tolerated.

When FAIC took on management of Conservation OnLine (CoOL) and the Conservation DistList eight years ago, we knew that these resources were crucial to the preservation community and had to be saved. We didn't know exactly how we would pay for the ongoing costs of curation and maintenance, let alone the necessary updates and improvements, but we knew we had to step up to the task.
Thanks to generous donations from people like you who use these resources, CoOL and the ConsDistList are still here for you to ask questions, find your next job, or see what courses are coming up. You can find information on almost any preservation or conservation topic, from "

" to " who conserved the Hie Sanno Sairei-Zu Japanese screens? "
But even we didn't realize what treasures CoOL and the ConsDistList really are. Earlier this year, we asked Matt Morgan, the FAIC Digital Strategy Advocate, to conduct an audit of FAIC and AIC's online resources. Matt was as surprised as we were by what he found:
Please help make sure the resources that you value remain accessible. In order to keep CoOL and ConsDistList up and running, FAIC needs to raise $40,000 by the end of the year. Last year the average gift size was $50. If only 8% of the nearly 10,000 ConsDistList subscribers gave that amount, we would meet our goal. We hope you'll show your support by making a contribution today. You can

Hopefully, you will benefit from this blog post.
Does that sentence raise your hackles? Work you into a tizzy? Light your fuse? Surprisingly, it does a lot of people¹.
This use of the hopefully is considered a no-no by a large contingent of prescriptive grammarians, and I'd like to explain why and offer my humble perspective on it.
One way the concern is expressed is that hopefully is an adverb — a word that modifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb — and that doesn't seem to be the case in this sentence. It's not saying you will benefit in a hopeful way. Therefore, this usage is incorrect, right?
Wrong. It's an example of what is known as a sentence adverb — an adverb that, rather than modifying a single word, modifies the sentence as a whole. Sentence adverbs are common. Here are some examples:Incredibly, Ed arrived on time. Regretfully, I will not be able to attend the party. Ideally, you will end up with an even number.
Notice that these initial adverbs do not modify the verb of the sentence. They modify the sentence as a whole. The fact that Ed arrived on time is what is incredible. The speaker is regretful about not being able to attend the party . Ending up with an even number is what is ideal. So why doesn't anyone complain about all adverbs used like this?²
I'm not sure, really. I suspect it's because this way of using hopefully is particularly common and, therefore, to some people, particularly annoying.
Another explanation I've heard is that hopefully means "in a hopeful way" but used this way it means "I am hopeful that," or "It is hoped" and is therefore a misuse. But dictionaries now include "it is hoped" as an alternate definition for hopefully . And certainly, it's been used in this sense for a long time. No one is confused about my meaning if I say, "Hopefully, Michael Vick survives the season without an injury."
Now that I've defended the sentence adverb use of hopefully , I'm going to suggest that you avoid using it in formal writing. I hate doing that because it feels like surrendering to the unreasonable demands of grammar snobs. If you are the pugnacious type, by all means go for it, but personally, I'm willing to let this one go. After all, it's just as easy and somewhat more clear to say " I hope Michael Vick survives the season uninjured." I don't feel like I am compromising anything stylistically, and I will avoid raising the ire of the grammatical nitpickers.

Prince Charles is known for his keen understanding and study of the various religions that are practised not only in Britain but abroad. He is recongnised for fostering a dialogue between the West and Islam. In a speech titled "Unity in Faith" at Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt in March 2006, The Prince of Wales said: "We may have a human weakness to criticize and to compete with each other. But what we have in common, as people of faith, calls us beyond this towards mutual respect and understanding."
"In the season of Advent, when Christians look forward to celebrating the birth of Christ and the season of peace and goodwill to all men, The Prince of Wales wants to draw attention to the importance of harmony and understanding between people of all faiths," noted Clarence House.
On 17th December 2013 The Prince of Wales and HRH Prince Ghazi of Jordan will visit the Coptic Orthodox Church Centre in Stevenage and the Syrian Orthodox Church in Acton.
Charles has visited both Coptic and Orthodox centres of worship both home and abroad over the years. Meeting with members of both communities, he has voiced concern about the challenges that exist for Christians in Middle Eastern countries as well as get together with those who live in the UK, to discuss said challenges in his own country.
Both Princes will meet with representatives of the Christian faith from Turkey, Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt during a reception held at Clarence House. Members from other faiths will also be invited and in attendance.
HRH Prince Ghazi of Jordan is the Chief Advisor for Religious and Cultural Affairs and Personal Envoy to H.M. The King of Jordan. For many years he has campaigned to foster a dialogue of Interfaith in the Middle East. In 2010 he suggested the World Interfaith Harmony Week to the UN General Assembly, in his proposal Prince Ghazi said: "The misuse or abuse of religions can thus be a cause of world strife, whereas religions should be a great foundation for facilitating world peace. The remedy for this problem can only come from the world's religions themselves. Religions must be part of the solution, not part of the problem."
World Interfaith Harmony Week is now is celebrated the first week of February. "Its purpose is the promotion of interfaith harmony between religious and spiritual congregations the world over," according to Clarence House.
Clarence House has issued the following information for the three engagements that the Princes will be attending:
Engagement 1: The Prince of Wales and Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad of Jordan will visit the Coptic Orthodox Church Centre in Stevenage. On arrival Their Royal Highnesses will be welcomed by The Lord-Lieutenant of Hertfordshire, The Countess of Verulam, The Lord Bishop of London, The Right Reverent and Right Honourable Richard Chartres and the General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom, Bishop Angaelos. The Prince of Wales and Prince Ghazi will attend a brief service, meet young people who volunteer for the church's homeless ministry, attend a brief meeting to hear about the persecuted Church in the Middle East and join a reception for congregation members.
Engagement 2: The Prince of Wales and Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad of Jordan, will visit the Syriac (Syrian) Orthodox Church, St Thomas Cathedral, Acton, London. On arrival The Prince of Wales and Prince Ghazi will be welcomed by the Deputy Lieutenant for the London Borough of Ealing, Mr. Robert Leader; the Archbishop of the Syrian Church in the United Kingdom, Archbishop Athanasius and the Parish Priest, Father Aphrem Ozan. Their Royal Highnesses will meet guests representing the Syrian Orthodox community in the United Kingdom to hear about their experiences and the experiences of their relatives in the Middle-East. Their Royal Highnesses will then attend a short service led by Archbishop Athanasius.
Engagement 3: The Prince of Wales and Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad of Jordan will attend an Advent reception in Clarence House to celebrate Christian Communities from the Middle East. Guests will include the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Justin Welby; the Chief Rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis; Baroness Berridge, elected Chair of the new All Party Group on International Religious Freedom and Baroness Warsi, Senior Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Minister for Faith and Communities.
As reported by Royal Central last month, for the past 20 years, Charles has been the patron of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies. In 1993, his speech 'Islam and the West' was printed throughout the Middle Eastern newspapers and was met with great fanfare. Farham Nizami, Centre director has known Charles for 20 years. "He makes all British citizens feel they are part of the grand historical narrative, I don't think there is another major figure in the western world who has as high a standing as he has in the Muslim world. I would describe him as a friend of Muslims," commented Nizami to The Telegraph.
