The fact that the Clips are staying zone with AA, Ross and JL3 on the floor is pretty hilarious
WOWWWWWWWW gay already giving us a buzzer beater!!!!!
shot clock violation too late
So far looks like AA suffers the minutes blow...as it should be.
"You need the guy, at the back end of the shot-clock, to close the quarters, he can do that for you."
That, was, SEXY. That, was, pretty damn gay.

rudy gay hitting the 3, with seconds on the clock
Really hope we don't give up a 25 point quarter or anything. Holding the Clippers in the 60s would be so nice.
Because it's the most perfect proof that Del Negro has absolutely no idea what he's doing
nice job Big V!!!!
anytime you can shake up blake, you are good in my books
love that hard foul from big V!!! no apologies
Is it just me or did JV put on more mass since sitting out with his broken finger.
Like the hard foul from JV

Charlie, my grandson, is about to be one year old, and that makes my heart laugh. The anniversary brings happiness to his parents, because they have had the privilege of seeing their child's smile, hearing his cry, vocalization, and attempts at words, every day of the year.
Sadly, the June 1 anniversary also marks a year since the death of Charles King, Charles' namesake. But I believe Monsignor is able, and especially happy, to watch the growth of this beautiful boy. I know he prays Charles will grow up to be a significant person in the Church we all love.
Charlie is a sweet baby with gentle eyes, a natural affinity for music, and some of the huskiest thighs known in Toddler-land.
But one of Charlie's most endearing characteristics is not so much his eyes and thighs, but his wonderful baby laugh.
"He makes us earn it," says Andrew, his father. "But when we do get him really laughing, it's the most identifiable, audible expression of pure joy I think I've ever heard. It's equal parts laugh and squeal with glee."
Recently, Charlie's mother Erika explored this topic on her Facebook wall, confiding with thousands of her friends and friends of their friends.
"Question for moms out there with older little ones," she wrote. "Does the laugh of your child stay the same, or does it evolve as they get older? I really love Charlie's laugh and wonder if it will change as he grows up..."
Erika got some answers, some personal anecdotes and reminiscences. But the answer she would have gotten from me, Charlie's Grammie, would have been much more personal than what Facebook folks could even know.
"Yes, dear Erika, the laugh will change — every day, probably — like his gradual perfection of word usage and the ability to stand alone."
But it won't change completely. Andrew's baby laugh was exactly as he described Charlie's: "an audible expression of pure joy … equal parts laugh and … glee." It still is.
But as Andrew grew older, he began to understand different kinds of "funny" so his laughter became more discerning.
Andrew was about 11, and we were driving home from school one day when we passed a van with the business name painted on the side. A man was standing there, kicking it, jiggling the door handle, stomping his foot.
I heard Andrew let out an explosion of laughs — gleeful, joyful, musical. Then he was quiet, I looked back and he was just gazing out the window. A couple of seconds later he did the same thing, only this time he threw his head back and guffawed, squealing with laughter.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Did you see the name on that van? It was "Kenny's Key Shop."
Talking about his own baby boy now, Andrew gives a familiar description: "Just when you think Charlie couldn't possibly keep laughing hard at the same gag, his head bobs back and he lets out another burst of baby chuckles."
Exactly like his daddy.
I had four other children, and no matter how hard I worked to raise the five, I very seriously met each new phase in their lives with a kind of sadness, knowing there would be changes.
I would have told Erika, "I never wanted any changes to occur — I just didn't. Whether it was changing from grade school to high school or finishing a year of ballet lessons or playing on their first soccer team, I wanted to digest things slowly so I wouldn't forget them.
Nevertheless time always went by quickly, and changes did too.
"But," I would have told Charlie's mom, "don't worry because what is following will always turn out to be better than what preceded it. I promise."
In college, when Andrew stopped playing drums in the TCU marching band, I was so sad; I teared up when he told me. But he said, "Don't worry Mom -- I'm going to do something that's even better."
He described his wish to do comedy — and it did turn out to be better! We experienced all his talents with him — the band, piano playing at Catholic Community, and improv comedy. It was a wonderful collection of memories.
As I was trying to think of my kids' laughs, I remembered the things they thought were funny. John liked to imitate Steve Martin movies, and Andrew and his sisters got to perform with him.
No matter who was performing, there were always four siblings to laugh, so the blend of their voices was in harmony, like a barbershop quartet.
Four different kinds of laughing right there for me to enjoy! And all their laughs were different.
I think when God makes us, He includes great gifts, and characteristics our mothers are going to love the second they know us. Maybe that's why moms have the strength to go through labor and sleepless nights, because they know there's something so endearing, they can endure anything, just for those children.
"My dearest Erika," I would tell his mother, "certainly Charlie's laugh is going to change, just like your laugh and my kids' laughs changed, and your activities and actions and abilities changed. You went from crawling to pulling up to walking around the coffee table. All of those things changed, so why wouldn't your laughs change?
God gave us a myriad of wonderful gifts, made for our happiness.He gave us everything we remember fondly, that we care about and love, that we sing about or cherish. God gave us everything that is funny or wonderful, everything that we should praise and thank Him for daily.
It may be that one of God's best gifts was not how we laugh, but that we laugh.
I think it was his choice and his gift that we do laugh.

While Dell may have announced new AMD-based desktops
yesterday, the fallout over the 4.1 million notebooks
batteries that were recalled last month still lingers in the air. Chairman
Michael Dell says that it has no part in the blame for the faulty batteries and
says that all of the blame falls on Sony.
A spokesman for Dell was even more blunt in comments made to
UK. "We know exactly why there was a problem. Sony had
contaminated its cells in the manufacturing process. The batteries were
contaminated and were no good no matter what you did with them. We know the
batteries, under rare circumstances, catch fire, (which is why we recalled
them)," said the spokesman.
A representative for Sony countered by saying
that the full blame should not rest on its shoulders. "It is the
configuration. We use the same batteries in our Vaios, and have our own
safeguards against potential overheating. Other manufacturers which use the
same cells haven't come forward with any issues," stated a Sony
Sony has agreed to help cover some of the costs associated
with Dell recall and Apple's recall of an additional 1.8 million notebook
batteries. In the weeks following the recall, the US Consumer Product
Safety Commission started
an investigation into all of Sony's notebook batteries despite Sony's assertion that no more
recalls are necessary.

The tiny Utah town of Minersville is suddenly finding itself a hot topic thanks to its upcoming geothermal plant. Geothermal energy, the process of using the earth's heat to create and/or harvest steam to produce electricity, is among the most intriguing alternative energy technologies today. With fossil fuel prices high and with support from big backers such as Google, things are looking good for geothermal energy.
Raser Technologies Inc. at its initial public offering five years was a simple electric motor business with little intention of revolutionizing the alternative energy business. Somewhere along its journey over the last several years, it had a vision of creating profitable green geothermal power according to Reuters, a dream which has consumed it ever since. Now it is on the verge of fulfilling that dream. Construction is nearly finished on the company's plant in tiny Minersville, which will go online later this year providing electricity to 9,000 homes in Anaheim, California.
The company has no plans of stopping there -- it will complete construction on 7 more plants next year and expects to be turning a profit by the end of next year. Chief Executive Brent Cook announced the news in an interview at Raser's Provo, Utah, headquarters last Thursday, stating, "After these first couple of plants come online I believe we will be cash flow positive."
While geothermal requires more complex infrastructure and takes more time to deploy, it has an advantage over wind and solar in that it provides steady power around the clock.
Mr. Cook acknowledges that there were some initial difficulties when the company decided to transition into alternative energy mode in 2005. He states, "In the case of geothermal... the execution of that plan is all in our hands. The licensing side of our business requires convincing some other company to take the technology and deploy it into their marketplace, and that's a lot harder to predict."
At first the company tried to acquire geothermal startup Amp Resources; however, the deal fell through with Amp being bought instead by Italian energy company Enel SpA. In the aftermath of the failed deal, Mr. Cook took the reins and went to work acquiring land leases and capital. He found a big partner in Merrill Lynch, which signed on to finance up to 155 MW of Razer plants, including a $44M USD investment in the first plant. Razer Technologies also partnered with United Technologies Corp, which is providing the power generation units.
The key to Razer's completed approach is to build smaller geothermal plants capable of being constructed within a few months. This makes the technology more growth-competitive with solar and wind installations. Mr. Cook describes, "Geothermal usually takes much longer to be built. We've tried to go with an off-the-shelf type of plant design. It's like Legos that come together."
The plants are expandable if additional capacity is needed. The company also is unique in that it uses lower temperature water, using steam from a liquid with a lower steam point than water, thus allowing energy harvest from hot water below the 212 degrees Fahrenheit boiling point. Mr. Cook says, "That allows us to exploit sites that frankly were passed over or thought to not be useful 25 or 30 years ago. We are going back through and tying up a lot of those opportunities."
With over 200,000 acres in six Western states, Razer Technologies has plenty of room to expand. Mr. Cook is confident his plant can beat one of its main fossil fuel competitors -- natural gas. He concludes, "We're seeing a lot of utilities recognize that geothermal is much more competitive than natural gas and has zero fuel risk exposure."
The first plant will produce 10.5 MW when complete. The projected plant lifetime is 35 years.

Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies (CJ-DATS): HIV/HEPATITIS Prevention for Re-Entering Drug Offenders (ICPSR 29061)
Principal Investigator(s): Inciardi, James A., University of Delaware
The development of the CJ-DATS Targeted Intervention program, targeting a policy change to incorporate public health concerns into the parole and release process, has prompted this study to analyze the effectiveness of the intervention and to determine how it might best be integrated into the current corrections administration. Primarily, the study seeks to consider the effectiveness of one-on-one peer intervention against group intervention moderated by a peer. The study is set up to interview former inmates as they re-enter society through parole or work release. The first phase of the study is to determine their history of drug use, before incarceration and during their time in a corrections facility. These respondents were chosen because of the particular danger faced by those re-entering to engage in "make up for lost time" behavior as access to illicit activity becomes more readily available. Additionally, this portion tests the respondents' knowledge of HIV/AIDS and their utilization of resources designed to improve their health. Following this survey, as well as a blood examination to determine whether they have the illnesses associated with the study, the subjects engaged in counseling based on the subgroup to which they had been randomly assigned. The control group received a standard one-hour, non-interactive CDC intervention, while the experimental group received the CJ-DATS Targeted Intervention. The intention was to determine if individual intervention is more effective, given the need for brief, effective interventions as a result of the large volume of the relevant population. Following the interventions, followup interviews were issued at 30 and 90 days. The intention was to determine not merely if there was an aggregate change in behavior as a result of the intervention, but furthermore, if the intervention led to a negative trend. Of particular concern to the outcome of the study and its analysis was the relative effectiveness of the peer interventions, as well as how officers and administration within the corrections and parole process might incorporate an attitude of public health into the process.

Scope of Study
Subject Terms: AIDS, correctional facilities, disease prevention, HIV, intervention strategies, prison inmates, sexual behavior, substance abuse, treatment compliance, treatment programs
Geographic Coverage: Delaware, United States
Study Purpose: The study is intended to determine the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS and HBV intervention protocols using the input of the corrections client population. A secondary goal is to investigate how intervention is integrated into the corrections community.
Study Design: The study utilizes four different factor groups, an individual and group control, and an individual and group treatment, through a four stage process measuring the activities of the former inmates before and during corrections and following the intervention. Respondents answer questionnaires on a variety of lifestyle and health topics and offer blood samples for disease testing.
Sample: Each site will recruit 400 participants, 100 per condition group, for a total of 1,200 drug-involved participants. Women will be over-represented in the sample, and minorities will reflect their actual occurrence in the population. Participants will have to meet criteria for age and history of drug use.
Mode of Data Collection: face-to-face interview, mixed mode
Description of Variables: Variables in the study will include CJ-DATS Core Questions and Brief Symptoms Inventory, AIDS Health Belief and AIDS Risk Behavior Knowledge, and a series of other question sequences based on the experiences of the parolee and their interaction with the intervention.
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Created variable labels and/or value labels.
- Standardized missing values.
- Created online analysis version with question text.
- Performed recodes and/or calculated derived variables.

Walk up
to most people and ask what they think of when the name Porsche is uttered and
many will immediately think 911 and racing. Porsche is getting further and
further from its pure sports car roots even though it still makes some of the
best sports cars around. Most of the Porsche models sold today aren't the
sports cars the company currently makes (911, Boxster, Cayman), but larger
vehicles like the Panamera
sedan/hatchback, and Cayenne crossover.
While performance remains a priority for Porsche, the company is looking into
ways to make all of its vehicles safer and more efficient. Part of the
investigation into efficiency and safety is a new system that takes adaptive
cruise control a lot further than simply being able to slow down a vehicle in
emergency situations.
The new system Porsche is working on is called ACC
InnoDrive and it completely removes the driver's feet from the pedals.
The car learns the route the driver takes complete with estimates of the speed
limit, curves, and elevation changes and then translates that into data the car
uses to completely control the pedals.
The goal is to create a car that constantly monitors speed, throttle, and other
aspects for a smooth and comfortable ride that optimizes efficiency. Autoblog was
able to take a ride in a prototype Porsche Panamera S that is equipped with the
system. The hardware to make the ACC InnoDrive function is a second ECU in
the trunk of the car that gathers additional data.
Autoblog says that allowing the car to take over the pedals
completely was unnerving in some parts, but the system performance flawlessly.
ACC InnoDrive has three modes: Comfort, Dynamic, and Off. The Dynamic mode is
where the pedals are taken over by the car. Apparently, the system will bring
your car to a complete stop, slow for curves, and knows the speed limit so you
just have to steer. The system is expected to be production-ready in about
three years and of course will be optional. InnoDrive is expected to be offered
on most Porsche vehicles, including its sports cars.
did note that its system would not touch the steering wheel. It feels the
hands-on aspect of steering is integral to the Porsche experience.

Well this are Hashirama weapons pay attention to all the weapons !
Now we know that Madara " Died " with this weapons !
And here Madara has the weapons of Hashirama ! ( you can see 2 of his swords again and also the huge shuriken. )
I dont think after Hashirama tought that he "killed" Madara Uchiha he leaved those weapons on the ground and left without them !
So i belive Madara killed Hashirama somehow.... I cant imagine how he did it after he killed Hashirama he took Hashirama's weapons as a prize for himself !

An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that occurs outside of the uterus. Most ectopic pregnancies occur within a fallopian tube. Other, less common locations may include the cervix, an ovary, or the abdominal cavity. This type of pregnancy cannot survive. Only the uterus can support the growth of a fetus and its placenta.
Risk Factors
Ectopic pregnancies are more common in women over 35 years old and those who are non-Caucasian. Other factors that may increase your chance of ectopic pregnancy include:
- Previous ectopic pregnancies
- History of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and related scar tissue
- Endometriosis
- Prior surgery on fallopian tubes or uterus and related scar tissue
- Fertility treatments
- Abnormally-shaped uterus and/or fallopian tubes
- Presence of an intrauterine device (IUD)
- Pregnancy that occurs after a sterilization procedure—tubal ligation
- Smoking
Since you are pregnant you would have had missed or abnormal periods. Ectopic pregnancy may also cause:
- Abdominal pain
- Spotty vaginal bleeding
- Pain in the shoulder or neck due to irritation of the breathing muscle by blood from a rupture ectopic pregnancy
- Fainting
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be also be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
- Pregnancy test
- Pelvic exam
- Blood tests
Images may be taken of your uterus and fallopian tubes. This can be done with a transvaginal ultrasound.
You may just be observed if the condition is already resolving. Usually treatment is needed, options include:
If the ectopic pregnancy is small and has not ruptured (burst), a medication that prevents further growth of the ectopic pregnancy may be advised.
Surgery may be needed, especially if the ectopic pregnancy has ruptured or if it is not in the fallopian tube. During the surgery, the pregnancy will be removed.
If the pregnancy is in the fallopian tube, the doctor may be able to repair the tube. In severe cases, the fallopian tube may need to be removed.
To help reduce your chance of an ectopic pregnancy:
- Maintain safe sexual practices to avoid sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) , which can damage to the fallopian tubes and ovaries.
- Get early diagnosis and treatment of STDs.

An extraordinary Sunday
While fans in Seattle and Denver were celebrating their football victories on Sunday, a different wave of excitement was sweeping through a small church community in Houston, Texas. Jim Gross is a World Vision Child Ambassador … this is his story.
What began as a typical Sunday for Child Ambassador Jim Gross ended with extraordinary results.
In December, Jim's exhausted Bible Study leader asked him to teach their Sunday morning class. Jim agreed and soon began leading an eight-week study using The Hole in Our Gospel, by World Vision president Richard Stearns.
This past Sunday was the penultimate week of the study, and Jim's lesson focused on the story of the rich young ruler. The lesson stirred the class of 16 to begin sharing their testimonies of being blessed and wanting to do more to help others. Tears fell across the room as individuals told stories, asked tough questions, and sought God's truth for their lives.
After class, the group headed into church. Much to Jim's amazement, the pastor (who knew nothing about Jim's lesson) began to preach from the very same account that Jim had taught.
After the service, Jim felt led to approach a woman he had never spoken to about child sponsorship. After he briefly explained what he does as Child Ambassador, the woman grabbed the picture of a child from Jim's hands and said, "I've wanted to sponsor a child for a year but just didn't know anyone to do it with. Give me one."
As Jim was leaving church, another man approached him and said, "Give me a boy. We already sponsor a girl and we want a boy now, too."
During a birthday lunch after church, two more individuals asked to sponsor children. Following lunch, another man approached Jim and asked him how many children he had left. Jim held up his final three child pictures and the man said, "Give them to me. I hear the passion in your voice, Jim, and we've been so blessed. How can we not do this?"
Nine children sponsored in one day. Nine children's lives forever changed.
"And I don't think it's over yet – I think more people will approach me next week. This just blows me away. I'm still on cloud nine. I hope I never stop feeling like this."
Jim has diligently served as a Child Ambassador since November of 2012. It all began on a World Vision trip to Mexico, where "I saw what the dollars do," Jim said. "Being on the ground and seeing it action and how it affects the whole community. The interpreter came over and said that because of how I showed love to those children that day, the kids were asking her how they could 'adopt' me. I've done missions trips for years but you lose touch with the people you serve with. I'd prayed for something more personal … more lasting that I can do on a daily basis. And then a friend handed me The Hole in Our Gospel. I immediately signed up to become a Child Ambassador."
Jim and his wife Missy sponsor eight children themselves, and their passion is already inspiring others in their family. "Every time I receive my child pictures from World Vision," Jim said, "I wait for [my 4-year-old granddaughter] Kennady to come over so we can open the package together. She sits on my lap and I tell her the story of each child. She asks when she will be bigger so that she can help the kids. At church on Sundays, she carries the child pictures around and asks 'Paw Paw' who she can ask to sponsor. It's a beautiful thing."
Having set up tables at large fairs and other events and not having a single child sponsored, in the past Jim has questioned his efforts and asked God to show him how to serve. But he realizes that being a Child Ambassador isn't about him.
Jim's Sunday was just one example of that – how God weaves people's gifts, stories, and intentions together to produce a beautiful result.
"It's the compassion in your voice that they hear. You don't know how God can use you when you give him the chance."
Jim became a Christian at the age of 20. At that moment, he made a two-fold deal with God: "I will serve you more than I serve the world" and "whatever money you bring my way, it's yours, tell me what to do with it. It blows me away where God has brought me."
Join our volunteer network and work alongside us to bring hope and joy to children around the world! Consider applying to become a Child Ambassador today.

philosophical perspectives
by Adrine Santos (2015-08-01)
It would give the impression to me that the two main views of realism (philosophical perspectives) are Materialism and Theism. In one case reality is based only on the physical; on the other reality is based on the meta-physical. write my college paper for me

5 Places to Spot Washington Celebrities While at GAC
They may not be as pretty as the stars in Los Angeles, but Washington has plenty of high-profile, powerful and famous people to see, especially near Capitol Hill.
Where are visitors most likely to spy someone famous? Other than speaking sessions at CUNA's Governmental Affairs Conference Feb. 25- 27, Credit Union Times has the scoop on five other likely spots:
At the Capitol: Members of Congress scurry back and forth between their offices and congressional hearings, meetings and events around Washington. CUNA officials suggest keeping an eye open while visiting offices in the Senate and House office buildings, especially when bells ring signaling an active vote on a bill and members "pour into the hallways." The underground transportation system between the office buildings and the Capitol is used by members of Congress, making the trams and escalators ripe ground for political celebrity sightings, CUNA said. This reporter once sat next to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) on the tram between the Rayburn House Office Building at the Capitol; a special car on each tram is reserved for members of Congress only, but Waters offered the empty seat next to hers after the rest of the tram had filled.

U.S. congressmen in Russia on Boston bombing fact-finding mission
The Chicago Tribune, 30 May 2013
Publié le :
30 mai 2013
MOSCOW (Reuters) - U.S. congressmen will meet security officials in Moscow this week to find out whether the FBI could have done more with Russian intelligence on the Boston bombing suspect to prevent the attack, one of the lawmakers said on Wednesday.
U.S. President Barack Obama's administration and the intelligence community face scrutiny over criticism they failed to see the danger from Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother Dzhokhar - the prime suspects in the twin bombings that killed three people and injured over 170 at the Boston Marathon.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who was killed in a shootout with police, spent six months last year in Dagestan, a southern Russian province where Moscow is battling an Islamist insurgency.

NCUA Reminds Credit Unions of Unlimited Corporate, TAG Guarantee Expirations
The NCUA on Wednesday issued a reminder to credit unions, and their members, that unlimited insurance coverage for noninterest bearing transaction accounts will expire on Dec. 31.
That's also the same day that the Temporary Corporate Credit Union Share Guarantee will expire, the agency said in a letter to federally insured credit unions, making "the successful conclusion of this phase of the corporate system resolution program."
The $250,000 standard maximum share insurance remains in place but the temporary unlimited protection put in place in March 2010 by the Dodd-Frank Act.
The same level of coverage will continue on deposits in corporate credit unions as the temporary unlimited coverage put in place there in 2009 also expires.
"Credit unions conducting business with corporate credit unions should evaluate their uninsured corporate account holdings and perform appropriate due diligence," the agency said in the letter. The same goes for credit union investments in federally insured deposits at other financial institutions, the agency said.
The NCUA also advised credit unions to alert members of their potential insurance coverage changes and to ensure that their own account disclosures properly disclose the level of insurance coverage.
This all could change if the TAG legislation that died in the Senate last week is revived, passed through Congress and signed by the president by the end of the year, the agency's statement noted.
For more information, the agency said:
- For questions related to insurance coverage of member accounts, contact the NCUA's Office of Consumer Protection at (703) 518-1140 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Corporate credit unions with questions should contact the NCUA's Office of Corporate Credit Unions at (703) 518-6640 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
- For all other inquiries related to the agency's letter, contact the NCUA's Office of Examination and Insurance at (703) 518-6360 or email@example.com.

Intel's plans for the next four years were leaked a bit prematurely before its Intel Developers Forum (IDF) this month. Now with the IDF in full swing, Intel is releasing many more interesting details on the upcoming processor that is on top of its list -- Nehalem.
Formally known as the Intel Core i7, Nehalem features eight logical cores, the return of HyperThreading, on die memory support, QuickPath, and more. It will launch later in 2008.
One interesting revelation which Intel left off with was that it would probably release its notebook processors at almost the same time as its desktop variants, unlike with its Penryn processors. It expects many of the power-saving technologies found in Nehalem to be very useful in preserving laptop battery life.
The first intriguing technical detail of Nehalem according to Techgage is the new "Turbo Mode". Similar to the Turbo button of 386 days of yore, the turbo functionality will up the power to the CPU. Overall performance will be reduced in Nehalem to save power. For example, three cores of a four-core Nehalem processor could be turned off while a system is idle. More power can be transferred to that single core as well when performing simple operations that don't require four cores blazing away.
However, if more CPU power is needed, power can be distributed to the remaining cores. Turbo Mode can be turned off in the BIOS and does not replace traditional overclocking.
Also discussed was Intel's new on-chip memory controller. It uses three channels in an unusual approach. The approach is apparently paying off as memory bandwidth with its QuickPath Interface (QPI) is up to 25.6 GB/s, almost 3.5x the performance of current gen memory. Unfortunately, Intel refused to divulge latency information, so the memory picture is still incomplete, though it's looking bright on the bandwidth side of things.
As Nehalem samples have been show capable of working with even the highest end DDR3, DDR3-2000, many are now beginning to wonder whether such high speeds will even be necessary given the massive bandwidth. Some are speculating that Nehalem's impressive memory performance will spell death for the high end memory market, already hurt by sinking prices.
It's hard to say whether this will happen as increasingly there will be scenarios that call for massive memory use. Intel is making big claims about its bandwidth, however. According to Intel one stick of DDR3 on and Intel X58 motherboard with a Nehalem nearly equals the bandwidth of a dual-channel DDR3 configuration with a Penryn processor. Nonetheless, memory manufacturers are planning to release 3 GB DDR3 kits to coincide with Nehalem for 32-bit OS's and 6 GB and 12 GB kits for 64-bit OS's.
While IDF attendees were sworn to secrecy on performance specifics, they did say that the overall performance shows good gains, similar to the Penryn. They say that HyperThreading features few surprises and aside from some minor improvements is virtually identical to that used in the Pentium 4.
In conclusion, there are a few new juicy details on Nehalem, but in the end even more questions. Fortunately answers will be coming in a few short months. With AMD's Shanghai set to compete with Nehalem, perhaps the most interesting question of all is when will Nehalem's competitor materialize.

I know this isn't exactly Raptors news, but it involves a Raptor so I don't really know where to put this. Mods, feel free to move this to a more suitable location that you see fit. I thought this was just some fun news for a slow day of Raptors news. Hopefully, Lowry can also sell these at the ACC as beverages. I would love to try one out :PTheres a lot of money in the juice drink market. Which is why it is a very crowded and competitive market to get into.
But Kyle Lowry is in.
The new Toronto Raptor (heading into a contract year) has started a company called Famjuice (via Ball Dont Lie and Deadspin). The companys motto reflavor your taste. No, I dont know either.
The drink is available in the Philadelphia area currently, according to the Famjuice web site. It also comes in eight flavors including lemonade, peach, strawberry lemonade, iced tea with lemonade and you get the idea.
I have no idea if it is any good Philly readers, chime in. But Ill wish Kyle Lowry luck, it wont be easy. Because even when someone or something is almost All-Star level good for a season it can be hard to get minutes or find a steady home. If you know what I mean.

Jordan marks close cooperation with INTERPOL with formal recognition of travel document
LYON, France – Emphasizing Jordan's commitment to international law enforcement cooperation, Jordan's Director of Public Security, General Tawfiq Al-Tawalbeh, has formally recognized the INTERPOL Travel Document during his visit to the world police body's General Secretariat headquarters.
General Al-Tawalbeh and INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble signed the agreement which will significantly speed up the ability for INTERPOL officials to respond to any calls for assistance or support from Jordan. To date, 62 member countries have recognized the INTERPOL Travel Document.
"Jordan is committed to international police cooperation via INTERPOL and is therefore proud to be among those member countries which have recognized the INTERPOL Travel Document," said General Tawfiq Al-Tawalbeh.
"We look forward to extending our positive relationship with INTERPOL even further in combating all forms of transnational crime," he added.
In addition to Jordan's formal recognition of INTERPOL's Travel Document, Secretary General Noble said the country's active cooperation with INTERPOL via its National Central Bureau (NCB) in Amman was making a real difference in boosting regional and global security, including in anti-corruption, drugs and counter-terrorism efforts.
Mr Noble highlighted for example how the Jordanian Anti-Corruption Commission (JACC) is of the most active entities supporting the Global Focal Point Initiative established by INTERPOL and StAR (the Stolen Asset Recovery programme – a partnership between the World Bank and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime) aiming to create a global network of anti-corruption practitioners. In July 2012 Jordan hosted in Amman the 3rd StAR-INTERPOL Asset Recovery Focal Points Meeting.
"Jordan is a strong supporter of INTERPOL in tackling a range of transnational crime areas and its formal recognition of the INTERPOL Travel Document is further demonstration of its commitment to our ongoing collective efforts to make the world a safer place," said Secretary General Noble.
"Director of Public Security Al-Tawalbeh's visit to INTERPOL has enabled us to identify other areas where we can work even more closely together, especially given Jordan's strategic regional importance," added the INTERPOL Chief.
During his visit, Jordan's Director of Public Security – accompanied byLieutenant Colonel Maher Amin Almakhamreh, Head of Public Security Directorate,Colonel Issa Amal Qaqish, Head of INTERPOL's NCB in Amman, and Lieutenant Mohammed Abedalaziz Alda'ajeh of the Public Security Directorate – also met with other senior INTERPOL officials and was updated on the world police body's global tools and services.

to Joystiq , PlayStation
3 games in 3D will have their HD resolution capped. While
demonstrating the newest version of the system at the Develop
Conference, Sony representative Simon Benson announced that
games that run at 1080p resolution will be downscaled in 3D mode --
per eye -- to 720p. Speaking to Joystiq,
Benson stated that although the PS3 has
the capability of displaying a 1080p image, a resolution higher
than 720p has been restricted because Sony contends that a higher
frame rate would impact the quality of viewing. Blu-ray
movies will retain the 1080p resolution. Blu-rays run at 24
frames per second, but games run at 60 frames per second -- upping
the resolution for games would compromise the smoothness of the
frames. While a "more cinematic game" could be
equipped to handle the 1080p resolution at the cost of frames, Sony's
current guidelines won't allow users to change settings, Benson
said.A true 1080p image consists of 2M individual pixels,
about twice the amount shown in a 720p image. Benson added that even
trained computer graphic artist could barely tell the difference
between resolutions.On the Newbies
Inc. website, Benson indicated that that online gamers
with a 3D
TV may have a competitive advantage over those playing on HD
sets."It all depends on the gamers to be honest.
Initially we were slightly concerned about this because we were
thinking, what if it makes it twice as easy or something like
that."He also stated that 3D can have the effect of
making games more accessible for inexperienced players."I
think what's basically going to happen is that anyone who has
stereoscopic 3D televisions and, for example, is playing a driving
game, I would imagine you're likely to find that the accessibility
level is higher, that people would generally perform better on their
first go. But I think at the high end with the hardcore gamers you'll
still see a [3D] advantage there, potentially, but the margins will
be far smaller."

Apple, which has poached employees
employees from Palm in the past (including during the development of
the various iPods and iPhone), nonetheless, was not to happy about
the launch of the Pre. It tried to block the phone out of
iTunes only to see Palm outmaneuver it again and let the Pre back
Back in 2007, Apple's Chief Executive Office,
Steve Jobs, reached out to former Palm CEO Ed Colligan and proposed a
moratorium on the two companies stealing each other's employees.
Mr. Colligan reportedly rejected Mr. Job's proposal, saying that it
was not only wrong, but "probably illegal".
smartphone team is headed by Jon Rubinstein, a former Apple veteran
who had headed the company's pivotal iPod unit. Mr. Rubenstein
was promoted
to Palm's CEO in June, succeeding Mr. Colligan.
Steve Jobs
would not comment on whether he proposed a secret arrangement with
Palm. He would only say that Apple has more patents and money
than Palm if the companies go to war legally. He perhaps was
referring to Apple's patent
on multi-touch technology, which it has threatened to sue
Palm and others with in the past.
If Mr. Jobs did propose
such an arrangement, it appears it would likely be illegal.
According to Donald Russell, an antitrust lawyer who worked at the
Justice Department for more than two decades before going into
private practice in Washington, "It's a form of competition that
is usually protected by antitrust laws that prohibit agreements that
restrict competition."
Apple and Palm, according to a
Reuters source, are under investigation by the U.S. Justice
Department for collusion in hiring. Neither company would
acknowledge that they were being investigated, though.
Apple did reach out to Palm for such an arrangement, it would also
have been a rather ironic move as Apple itself has poached employees
from many other tech giants over the years. Most recently,
Apple hired IBM's Mark Papermaster to replace the departing Tony
Faddell as iPod team leader. IBM fought
the move, saying Mr. Papermaster violated the terms of his
contract. Apple and IBM have since reached a settlement,
allowing Mr. Papermaster to go to work at Apple.
