McDaniel places 109 student-athletes on Dean's List, seven on Green and Gold Honor Roll
WESTMINSTER, Md. – McDaniel College has announced its Dean's List from the Spring 2013 semester and 109 Green Terror student-athletes qualified for the honors.
To qualify for the Dean's List, a student must achieve a grade-point average (GPA) of 3.50 for the semester. A GPA of 3.5-3.699 earns a student Honors according to the College. A GPA of 3.7-3.899 earns a student High Honors while a GPA of 3.9 or above qualifies for Highest Honors.
McDaniel also honors student-athletes through the establishment of the Green and Gold Honor Roll, which was introduced in 2011 through a joint initiative of the athletics department, including the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC), and President's Office.
To be named to the Honor Roll, a student-athlete must be named to the Dean's List in the same semester in which he or she has also been named to an athletic honor of All-Centennial Conference (CC) or higher.
Eight Green Terror student-athletes have earned the department's honor this past semester.
Freshman Brad Brooks (Newark, Del./Charter School of Wilmington), a swimmer, earned first-team all-conference honors in the pool. He earned Highest Honors in the classroom. An exercise science major, he won the gold medal in the 500 free, 1650 free and 400 IM at the CC championship meet. He also advanced to the NCAA Division III championship, where he was an All-American in both the 500 and the 1650 freestyles, resetting program records along the way.
Senior Morgan Koopman (Finksburg, Md./McDonogh), a golfer, earned first-team all-conference honors on the course. She earned Honors in the classroom. A communication major, she earned all-conference accolades for the fourth straight year after her third second-place finish. She carded a 36-hole score of 161 at the CC championship, falling in a sudden-victory playoff for the individual title.
Freshman Jason Lawrence (Fallston, Md./Fallston), a midfielder on the men's lacrosse team, earned honorable mention honors on the field. He earned Highest Honors in the classroom. An exercise science major, he led the team with 38 points. He recorded a team-high 20 assists and finished fifth with 18 goals. He also had 19 ground balls.
Senior Jackie Liebowitz (Bellerose, N.Y./Benjamin N. Cardozo), a second baseman on the softball team, earned honorable mention honors on the field. She earned High Honors in the classroom. An exercise science major, she finished the season with 24 hits, including six doubles, a triple and home run. She added 15 RBIs.

A psychology major, she recorded a personal-best score of 2,766 to finish third in the pentathlon at the CC championship. Her best individual performance came with a program-record time of 9.71 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles, finishing second in the field. She was also second in the 800 with a time of 2:32.71.
Senior Paige Messersmith (Phoenix, Md./Dulaney), a midfield on the women's lacrosse team, earned first-team honors on the field. She earned High Honors in the classroom. An exercise science major, she led the team with 94 draw controls to give her a program-record total of 300 for her career. She also recorded team highs in ground balls (57) and caused turnovers (28) while ranking second on squad with 45 goals and 68 points. Her 23 assists led the team. She was later named first-team all-region and second-team All-America.
Freshman Ryan O'Boyle (North Reading, Mass./Central Catholic), a wrestler, earned honorable mention honors on the mat. He earned Honors in the classroom. An undeclared major, he finished second at 133 at the CC championship. He finished the season 26-8 after advancing to the NCAA championship by virtue of his second-place finish at the inaugural NCAA East Regional tournament.
Senior Gary Smith (Pasadena, Md./Chesapeake), a decathlete on the men's outdoor track and field team, earned second-team honors. He earned Honors in the classroom. An exercise science major, he placed second in the decathlon with a personal-best score of 5,403 at the CC championship.

ADB to provide $44.76m for construction of solar power plant
ADB to provide $44.76m for construction of solar power plant
KABUL (Pajhwok): Looking at expanding the use of renewable energy in Afghanistan, Finance Minister Eklil Hakimi on Sunday signed a grant agreement worth $44.76 million with the CEO of the Asian Development Bank Samuel Tumiwa for the construction of the first solar power plant.
"Afghanistan needs a source of sustainable energy. In this regard, the solar-powered energy offers promise in Afghanistan to meet the needs of the communities. Further, considering 300 sunny days per year with free solar irradiation to generate solar power, it makes Afghanistan an attractive country for implementing solar power projects," said H.E EklilHakimi, the Minister of Finance.
"The demand for power is rapidly growing in all over Afghanistan and insufficient energy supplies severely constrain economic development and income opportunities in this country," said Samuel Tumiwa, ADB Country Director for Afghanistan. "The new on-grid solar power generation project, which is the largest of its kind in Afghanistan, will not only provide access to a clean and reliable power supply in Afghanistan, but also create an environment for the future investments in this area through public-private partnerships."
Afghanistan's renewable energy resource potential is estimated to be over 300,000 MW, consisting of solar (222,849 MW), wind (66,726 MW), hydro (23,310 MW), and biomass (4,000 MW).
Although significant progress has been made since 2002to meet its domestic demand,Afghanistan has to largely rely on importing energy from the neighboring countries.
Presently, only about 32% of the population has access to grid-connected electricity and the electricity demand in major load centers is growing by 25% annually. Reliance on energy imports, lack of sufficient power generation capacity, a small domestic market, and financial weaknesses rendersAfghanistan's energy security largely vulnerable.
The project will finance the construction of a 20 MW on-grid solar photovoltaic plant in Naghlu, located in the Surobi district of Kabul province. The project will partially but quickly fill the demand-supply gap, and improve the sustainability of the northeast grid covering the capital Kabul and Jalalabad province.
In addition to this, the project will provide power transformer and support facilities, upgrade the capacity of the existing sub-stations, and operation and maintenance (O&M) services for 3 years. The project will also prepare the site and the sub-station to accommodate additional PV plant of 10 MW for the future financing. The project also has the possibility of future expansion to 30 or 40 MW depending on the availability of additional financing from other development partners or the private sector.
Capacity building support will be also provided for thestaff of Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW), and government-owned energy utility Da Afghanistan BreshnaSherkat (DABS) on solar photovoltaic plant design, technical evaluation, grid integration, and operation and maintenance. The project will be in line with the National Energy Supply Program and the Afghanistan Renewable Energy Policyof the Government of Afghanistan.
The project will generate at least 65430 megawatt-hours of solar power and prevent at least 13,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents in the first full year of operation.
ADB is Afghanistan's largest on-budget development partner in the energy sector and has helped delivering electricity to more than 5 million people in Afghanistan.
ADB will support in increasing the country's electrification rate from current 30% to 83%, and in lifting the share of domestic power generation from 20% to 67% by 2030. ADB will also play a major role in power transmission both regionally and domestically, and in promoting clean energy, including through solar power.
ADB, based in Manila, is dedicated to reducing poverty in Asia and the Pacific through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Established in 1966, ADB is celebrating 50 years of development partnership in the region. It is owned by 67 members—48 of which are from the region. In 2016, ADB assistance totaled $31.7 billion, including $14 billion in co-financing.
It is noteworthy which details of this contract shared with the media by the Ministry of Finance, Asian Development Bank and the Breshna Company.

Inground Solar Cover Reels
Solar covers for pools are a wonderful invention for adding natural solar warmth to your pool, and for retaining heat at night and for virtually eliminating evaporation. However, they have a dark side, solar blankets can be cumbersome to remove and replace, even for two people.
Solar Pool Cover Reels are the answer, and are so easy to use that one person can remove and replace a solar blanket with ease. Your solar cover attaches to the pool cover roller with long straps and clips. A hand crank on one end allows you to roll-up your solar blanket onto the pool cover reel, or if that's still too much work, check out our electric solar cover reels.
Inground solar cover reels are so very convenient and functional, but did you know that they also protect your solar blanket from all types of calamity while it is removed from the pool?
Sun, wind, dirt, dogs, squirrels, birds, lawnmowers – there are many ways that a solar cover can be damaged laying on the pool deck. Using a pool cover reel keeps your cover safely rolled up, and out of the way. Solar cover reels are also useful for long-term solar cover storage, during the hotter summer months, or during winter, used with our Winter Solar Reel Cover.
- Powder coated aluminum or resin bases
- Aluminum tubes 3" - 5" dia., adjustable width
- Ball bearing hand crank assembly
- Caster Wheels to move solar cover reel
- Strap and Clip Kits included
- Powered solar cover reels
- 1-person removal and replacement of solar covers
- Safely stores your solar cover when off the pool
- Heavy duty solar cover reels last for decades
- Caster Wheels allow movement of your pool cover reel
- Low profile designs fit underneath diving boards
Selecting an Inground Solar Cover Reel:
Pool Size: How wide is your pool? Inground solar cover reels are adjustable to a certain degree, and most fit pool covers up to 20 ft, but some pool cover rollers are made to fit smaller, or larger pool sizes. How long is your pool? Most inground pool cover reels will handle a solar blanket length of up to 40', however less sturdy reel tubes may bow under the weight. For longer solar covers, look for a larger roller tube, with adjustable end bases, like the GLI Hurricane solar blanket reel. Longer covers may also rub on the ground when fully rolled up, especially on Low Profile solar cover reels.
Solar Cover Thickness: We sell solar blankets in three thicknesses, 8 Mil, 12 Mil and 16 Mil. Like longer solar covers, thicker solar covers are also heavier, and as such are more suited for heavy duty solar cover reels, with a large diameter roller tube and beefy end bases, like the GLI Storm. Thicker blankets also roll up to a larger diameter than thinner blankets, and longer covers may not fit beneath diving boards, or may rub on the ground when fully rolled up onto the Low-Profile solar reels.
Moving the Solar Reel: Some solar reels come with caster wheels as standard equipment, some reels offer it as an option, and some don't have wheels at all. Pool cover rollers without wheels should not be moved with the cover rolled up. Even though two people could pick it up and move it, it stresses the hinges and tube and can damage the reel. If you want to roll the solar blanket reel out of the way after rolling up the cover, look for a model with large wheels like the Rocky's Easy Roller.
Free Form Pool Shapes: If your pool is not rectangular, you can still use a solar cover reel by folding in the outer curved shapes, and rolling up the roughly rectangular shape. Another option is to cut the cover into one large rectangle to fit the solar reel, and cut smaller pieces for the curved areas outside of the main rectangle, which are manually removed and replaced.
Inground Solar Cover Reel Prices: They are all over the place, from under $200 to over $1200 for the powered solar cover reels by Pool Boy, to even more for Horizon Commercial-Grade solar cover reels. As with most things, you get what you pay for with pool cover rollers, with more expensive models being better engineered with stronger and more durable components, more features and longer warranties. This can be important for year 'round pools, or pools using longer or thicker solar covers, and for solar reels that are used several times per week.

U.S. motorhome retail sales in August totaled 1,566 units, a 22.8% decline from the 2,029 units retailed in August of 2008, according to Statistical Surveys Inc.
Year-to-date retails through August reached 13,659 units vs. 22,898 units for the first eight months of '08, an appreciable dip of 40.3%.
As significant as that decline may seem, Stat Surveys President Tom Walworth tends to see the cup half full for the motorhome market.
"This is the best monthly number that the industry has seen in 2009 based on the two-year percent-of-change," reports Walworth.
Retail Class A motorhome sales were off 22.4 % for the month, while Class C motorhomes were down 23.4%.
Walworth noted that half of the top 10 motorhome manufacturers gained market share in August year-to-date numbers. "These manufacturers were taking advantage of the low dealer inventory by replenishing the void in inventory which helped meet the retail demand," said Walworth, whose firm is based in Grand Rapids, Mich.

This FAQ covers old syslog-ng versions, 1.X and 2.0. If you are looking
for information about recent syslog-ng versions, please check the official FAQ now hosted by Balabit at:
Every mailing list should have a list of frequently asked questions,
and the answers usually given to those questions. Here's one for
Use this information at your own risk, I
cannot be held responsible for how you use this information and any
consequences that may result. However, every effort has been made to ensure the
technical accuracy of this document.
Most questions are taken from actual posts to the syslog-ng mailing list.
Truly horrible grammar and spelling were cleaned up, but most questions are
identical to the original post.
Any new entries should be submitted to the new FAQ at Balabit, not here.
Where can I find a searchable syslog-ng mailing list archive?
Use the syslog-ng mailing list archives at marc.info.
Syslog-ng 2.x requires glib and eventlog which reside in /usr, thus
cannot be used on systems where /usr is mounted during boot time, after
syslog-ng starts.
The latest snapshots (and future releases) of syslog-ng 2.x links to
GLib and EventLog statically, thus it will not require those libraries
to be present at boot time.
The eventlog library was written by the syslog-ng author, and
can be downloaded from the Balabit site.
You can download glib from here, linked to
from the main GTK site here.
I miss this/that very important feature from syslog-ng 2.x while it
was present in syslog-ng 1.6.
From Bazsi:
syslog-ng 2.x is a complete reimplementation of syslog-ng and even
though I plan to make it upward compatible with syslog-ng 1.6, I might
have forgotten something. So please post to the mailing list either if
you find missing or incompatible features.
What's with this libol stuff, and which one do I need?
libol is a library written by the author of syslog-ng, Balazs
Scheidler, which is used in syslog-ng 1.6.x and below. A built
copy of libol needs to be present on a system when these
versions of syslog-ng are built.
Information about versions of libol and which branch of
syslog-ng they correspond to, see
When attempting to use the match(".asx") in my filter it is
returning anything with "asx". I only need to return those
lines with the period before the asx, hence a file extension.
For some reason syslog-ng seems to ignore my specification of
the . before the asx. I have tried searching with ..asx and
\.asx and /.asx but doesn't seem to work no matter what I do.
Any suggestions?
match() expects an extended regular expression. _and_ syslog-ng
performs \ based escaping for strings to make it possible to
include " within the string. Therefore you need to specify:
See this post for more explanation on this issue:
I run Linux and see that I can choose one of two types of UNIX
socket for my main syslog source. Which one is correct?
You should choose unix-stream over unix-dgram for the same
reasons you'd choose TCP (stream) over UDP (datagram):
increased reliability, ordered delivery and client-side
notification of failure.
Along the same lines, you should choose unix-dgram over
unix-stream for the same reasons you'd choose UDP (datagram)
over TCP (stream): less possibility of denial of service by
opening many connections (local-only vulnerability though),
less overhead, don't care to know if the remote end actually
received the message.
Most of us setting up syslog-ng tend to desire the benefits of
unix-stream, and Bazsi recommends its use. See his commentary
in the official reference manual.

As previously noted by another poster this is a problem with
the flex version on your system. If you use a flex with a
higher version than 2.5.4 you're out of luck, unless you patch
the sources. The reason for this is that the people developing
flex had the "interesting" idea of changing the way the lexer
parses the language file.
The fix is to downgrade your flex or to patch cfg-lex.l with a
%option field disabling yywarp. From the top of my head it
should read:
%option noyywrap
prototype functionname(parameters);
Best regards,
Roberto Nibali, ratz
ps.: Let's hope I got it right
Note from Rob Munsch:
It should be noted that one will get an *identical* error, specifically
the 'undefined reference to yywrap,' if flex is *not installed at all.
...those who hit this error should first
perhaps ensure that they have flex/m4 installed before they start screwing with the
cfg-lex.l code. I've been happily compiling various things on this
(new) system for a while now, and to those of us newer at this than some
others, we tend to fall into the trap of thinking that if most things
compile, then we aren't missing any vital steps of a compile process,
like say preprocessors....
Thanks for the patch, I just patched it, and I can't recompile libol.
I did a make clean after I patched it, then tried:
$ make

I'm not sure what this means. Should I try the patch again? I just did a

This comes from a missing scheme interpreter,

If I replace my syslog daemon with syslog-ng, what side effects can it have?
Glad you asked, the most common side effect is being happy with a superior syslog
I'm new to syslog-ng. Is there a way for syslog-ng and syslogd to
co-exist? Our servers are managed by another group, and they don't
support syslog-ng. Can you pipe all syslogd messages to syslog-ng?
Yes, syslog-ng can accept messages from stock syslogd using the udp()
I want a catch-all log destination and can't seem to find out how in the documentation or
Jay Guerette helped out with:
Filters are optional. A catchall should appear in your .conf before
all othe entries; and can look something like:
destination catchall {
log {
I want to replace syslogd *and* klogd on my Linux box with syslog-ng.
Use a source line like this in your conf file to read kernel messages, too.
source src { file("/proc/kmsg"); unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); };
Current selinux policy distributed for RHEL4 supports syslog-ng by a
boolean named "use_syslogng". But on the not working host (using
"pipe"), following happens:
avc: denied { write } for pid=2190 comm="syslog-ng" name="kmsg"
dev=proc ino=-268435446 scontext=root:system_r:syslogd_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:proc_kmsg_t tclass=file
Please don't use "pipe" at all for /proc/kmsg.
Thanks to Peter Bieringer for contributing this information
If you find yourself getting lots of kernel messages to the
console after replacing klogd with syslog-ng: set the kernel's
console log level. This is done by klogd but not syslog-ng automatically.
Something like "dmesg -n4" should help.
I have been trying syslog-ng and extremely happy with the power of
using it. I have one question, when using the program option under
destination drivers, my PERL script gets launched when I start syslog-ng,
but executes once and then dies. I am using this script to page any time I
see an log entry, but it only runs the first time it runs.
You can read log messages on your stdin, so instead of fetching a single
line and exiting keep reading your input like this:
while (<>) {
# send to pager
Is it possible to create sockets with syslog-ng similar to how you can do so
with syslogd? The reason for this being that I'm running some applications
chrooted, and need to open a /dev/log socket that is in that chroot-jail.
Of course you can. Just add a source:
source local { unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); };
source jail1 { unix-stream("/jail/dns/dev/log"); };
source jail2 { unix-stream("/jail/www/dev/log"); };
source local {
Note that postfix appears to need a log socket in it's chroot jail, or it's logging
will stop when you reload syslog-ng:
source postfix { unix-stream("/var/spool/postfix/dev/log" keep-alive(yes)); };
Directories with names like "Error", "SCSI", "", are showing up in the
directory that holds the syslogs for the different hosts that we monitor.
From the description it's apparent that logs are being stored in your filesystem with a macro
similar to this:
destination std { file( "/var/log/$HOST/$FACILITY"); };
...so that you have directories created with the value of $HOST. This is bad. The host entry
in syslog messages is often set to a bad value, especially with messages originating from the UNIX
kernel, like SCSI error messages.
The best fix for this is to *never* create files or
directories based on unfiltered input from the network (You'd do well to
remember that in general). Set the option keep_hostname to (no), and
syslog-ng will always replace the hostname field (possibly using DNS, so
make sure your local caching DNS is setup correctly).
Here's the way to keep the hostnames in the log files but ALSO log
safely to the filesystem:
options {
source src {
unix-stream("/dev/log" keep-alive(yes));
# set it up
destination logip {
owner(syslog-ng) group(syslog-ng) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes)
template("$DATE $FULLHOST $PROGRAM $TAG [$FACILITY.$LEVEL] $MESSAGE\n") );
# log it
log {
If still you really want to use hostnames for directory or file names,
read on:
When still using hostnames (from the DNS) for directory names, the
author of this FAQ didn't have garbled $HOST macros go away until he
modified all clients to run syslog-ng and transfer over TCP. Both
steps might not be required, syslog-ng over UDP might be sufficient,
though there's little reason *not* to use TCP. Modern TCP/IP stacks are
tuned to handle lots of web connections, so even a central host for
hundreds of machines can use TCP without issues from the use of TCP
alone. There will be I/O problems with trying to commit that many
hosts' logs to disk much sooner under most circumstances.
I want to use fully qualified domain names in my logs, I have many different
hosts named ns1, or www, and don't want the logs mixed up. Also,
I have a question concerning the use_dns option. Is this a global option
only, or is there some way to change this per source or destination?
First of all, make sure that you have a reliable DNS cache nearby. Nearby
may be on the same host or network segment, or even at your upstream provider.
Just make sure that you can reach it reliably. syslog-ng blocks on DNS lookups,
so you can stop all logging if you start getting DNS timeouts.
Internal syslog-ng DNS caching has recently been worked on, and reportedly
works well. This appears to be a good alternative to running a local caching
DNS server ('dns_cache(yes);').
The use_dns option can be specified on a per-source basis (so can the keep_hostname option).
See also: the section on hostname options directly below.
What is with all the "hostname" options?
When syslog-ng receives a message it tries to rewrite the hostname it
contains unless keep_hostname is true. If the hostname is to be rewritten
(e.g. keep_hostname is false), it checks whether chain_hostnames (or
long_hostname which is an alias for chain_hostnames) is true. If
chain_hostnames is true, the name of the host syslog-ng received the message
from is appended to the hostname, otherwise it's replaced.
So if you have a message which has hostname "server", and which resolves to
"server2", the following happens:
I hope this makes things clear.
I have this config file:
filter f_local0 { facility(local0); };
filter f_local1 { facility(local1); };
destination df_local1 {
template("$FULLDATE <> $PROGRAM <> $MSGONLY\n")
log {
source(s_tcp); source(s_internal); source(s_udp); source(s_unix);
filter(f_local0); filter(f_local1);
When an event arrives at the system by facility local0 or local1, this
one is registered in the file never. Can be some bug of syslog-ng or
failure in config?
filter f_local0 { facility(local0); };
filter f_local1 { facility(local1); };
destination df_local1 {
template("$FULLDATE <> $PROGRAM <> $MSGONLY\n")
log {
source(s_tcp); source(s_internal); source(s_udp); source(s_unix);
filter(f_local0); filter(f_local1);
If I understand you correctly then the problem is that you're using two
filters which exclude each other however using more filters they are
logically AND-ed. If you want to catch messages from local0 and local1
use a filter like this:
filter f_local01 {
facility(local0) or facility(local1);
filter f_local01 {
facility(local0) or facility(local1);
I archive my logs like this:
owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes) );
...and over time my archive takes up lots of space. When will syslog-ng
implement compression so that I can compress them automatically?
owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700) create_dirs(yes) );
You don't need syslog-ng to compress them, install bzip2
and run a nightly cronjob like this:
/usr/bin/find /var/log/HOSTS ! -name "*bz2" -type f ! -path "*`/bin/date +%Y/%m/%d`*"
-exec /usr/bin/bzip2 {} \;
This might need some explaining: find all non-bzipped files that aren't
from today (syslog-ng might still write to them) and compress them with
bzip2. This was tested on Debian GNU/Linux with GNU find version 4.1.7.
/usr/bin/find /var/log/HOSTS ! -name "*bz2" -type f ! -path "*`/bin/date +%Y/%m/%d`*"
-exec /usr/bin/bzip2 {} \;
Submitted by Michael King:
We started with the compression script you have, but changed it to use
gzip compression. (Less file space efficient, but more time efficient.
B2zip takes approximately 20 minutes to decompress vs 2 or 3 minutes for
Gzip), added a quick find and delete for empty directories and files
modified more than 14 days old.
# Current policy is:
# Find all non-Archived files that aren't from today, and archive them
# Archive Logs are deleted after 14 days
#Changes. Change -mtime +14 to the number of days to keep
# Archive old logs
/usr/bin/find /var/log/HOSTS ! -name "*.gz" -type f ! -path "*`/bin/date +%Y/%m/%d`*" -exec /usr/bin/gzip {} \;
# Delete old archives
find /var/log/HOSTS/ -daystart -mtime +14 -type f -exec rm {} \;
# Delete empty directories
find /var/log/HOSTS/ -depth -type d -empty -exec rmdir {} \;
My syslog-ng.conf has
destination std { file( "/var/log/$HOST/$YEAR$MONTH/$FACILITY" create_dirs(yes)); };
What happens is if /var/log/$HOST/$YEAR$MONTH does not exist,
syslog-ng makes that dir, but it's owner is root:other. I think because
daemon's effective user ID is root. I want to change dir's owner. Is this possible?
Yes, you can do this using the owner(), group() and perm() options.
For example:
destination d_file { file("/var/log/$HOST/log" create_dirs(yes)
owner("log") group("log") perm(0600)); };
a) I have snmptrapd running so that any trap that it receives should be
logged to local1. I have a filter taking anything received via local1
to a specific file:
filter snmptrap {facility(local1);};
destination snmptraps { file("/var/log/snmptraps";};
syslog defaults to 1024 byte long messages, but this
value is tunable in syslog-ng 1.5 where you can set it to a higher
options { log_msg_size(8192); };
b) Andreas Schulze points out: "We are running snmptrapd and syslog-ng
1.5.x under Solaris 8 and observed exactly the same problem.
This doesn't fix the problem for us. It seems that there is a problem
in the syslog(3) implementation at least on Solaris. Maybe on Linux,
too. This is important, because snmptrapd feeds its messages via
syslog(3) to syslog-ng. So syslog-ng never gets the correct message,
because its truncated in libc before syslog-ng receive it.
Our solution was, to patch snmptrapd to log its messages via a local
Unix DGRAM socket and use this socket as message source for syslog-ng.
This fix the problem and works pretty fine and very stable for more than
one year in our environment.
Basically you're screwed on Solaris, but hopefully other
implementations aren't as brain-dead.
It seems I have syslog clients with unsynchronized clocks and I
have files that were created with the time macros, and their date
is wrong. What I want is the files to be created with the time/date
they are received.
It's an option. use_time_recvd() boolean.
options { use_time_recvd(true); };
What conf settings can I use for my syslog-ng.conf file so that messages are
written to disk the instant they are received?
Add sync(0) to your config file.
options { sync(0); };
I want to run syslog-ng chrooted and as a non-root user.
Use syslog-ng 1.5.x's own -C and -u flags when starting it.
I want to rewrite my logs into a specific format.
Syslog-ng 1.5.3 added support for user definable log file
formats. Here's how to use it:
destination my_file {
file("/var/log/messages" template("$ISODATE $TAG $FULLHOST $MESSAGE"));
I have been experiencing a problem with a syslog-ng (1.4.11) server
seemingly only allowing 10 connections to a tcp() source. A quick tour of
the code found the offending code at line 341 in afinet.c:
self->super.max_connections = 10;
It's limited because otherwise it'd be easy to mount a DoS attack against
the logger host. You can change this limit run-time without changing the
source with the max-connection option to tcp():
source src { tcp(max-connections(100)); };
Can output from programs started by syslog-ng be captured and logged by syslog-ng?
It's on the todo list. As long as it is not implemented, you might
try to redirect the program's output to a named pipe like this:
destination d_swatch { program("swatch 2> /var/run/swatch.err"); };
source s_swatch { pipe("/var/run/swatch.err"); };
The whole point of setting up a loghost was to report on the logs. How can syslog-ng help?
Syslog-ng is not about reporting on messages. Syslog-ng is a "sink" for syslog messages. Once
syslog-ng commits them to some sort of storage (filesystem, database, line printer, etc), it is up
to you to scan them.
That being said, Nate Campi's
"newlogcheck" page shows how he filters all messages through swatch
in real time, and also uses syslog-ng's "match" option to alert on certain message strings.
The fact that this stuff works is a result of syslog-ng's flexibility, not because it was written to
be all things to all people. Syslog-ng is a quality daemon because it tries to stay good at
one thing and one thing only:
being a syslog server.
Look at the links part of this page for the link to Nate's newlogcheck page, and
for the link to the Log Analysis page. You'll find plenty of information on log parsing there.
I want to input my logs into a database in real time - why can't I do it?
You can, there's just nothing built into syslog-ng which knows about databases.
You simply need to take advantage of syslog-ng's ability to pipe to a program.
Follow the links in the links part of this page
to read up on how other have done it.
How much log volume can syslog-ng handle?
The limits to throughput in syslog-ng
are similar to that of most other network applications, where network and
disk I/O are the limiting factors.
Here's a report from Kevin Kadow about throughput on his busy loghost:
Our log volume has been growing slowly over time, I recently checked my primary
logger and noticed that the raw log volume for this past Monday (the 24-hour
period from midnight to midnight) was 10,982,118,488 bytes, or 10.22GiB.
Peak hourly volume was 913MiB. Peak one-second volume in that hour was 2,626
messages totaling 440KiB, no duplicates.
System specs:
OpenBSD on a Dell 2650 (single 2.8Ghz P4) running syslog-ng 1.6.X.
Logs are written to a Dell PERC 3/Di SCSI RAID-0, as a 2-drive stripe.
I'm using syslog-ng over redirected ports inside an SSH
channel and whenever I HUP syslog-ng, the SSH channel closes
syslog-ng closes TCP connections when a SIGHUP is received, but you can
change this behaviour with the keep-alive option.
destination remote_tcp { tcp("loghost" port(1514) keep-alive(yes)); };
source tcp_listen { tcp(ip("10.0.0.1") port(5140) keep-alive(yes)); };
I've successfully set up syslog-ng to tunnel through stunnel.
I'm having one problem though, all messages come through with a
hostname of "localhost", presumably since stunnel is coming from
localhost on the syslog server....
Keep the hostname as sent by the remote syslog daemon:
options { keep_hostname(yes); };
I am trying to setup a central log host and am having trouble getting
events registered on the central server. It looks like the remote host
does connect to the central host but nothing shows in a log anywhere
for it.
Here is the central loghost config file:
options {
source gateway {
udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
source tcpgateway {
tcp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514) max_connections(1000));
destination hosts {
owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700)
log {
source(gateway); destination(hosts);
log {
source(tcpgateway); destination(hosts);
Don't duplicate sources in your source{} (unix-stream("/dev/log"); and
internal); directives. syslog-ng is going to open /dev/log once for each time
you list it, same for any TCP/IP ports, files, etc. List them once and use
the source{} in additional log{} statements.
You'll want something more like:
options {
source local {
source gateway {
udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514));
source tcpgateway {
tcp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514) max_connections(1000));
destination hosts {
owner(root) group(root) perm(0600) dir_perm(0700)
log {
log {
log {
I am having problems with syslog-ng on an SeLinux aware
machine. The kernel will not allow me to open up /proc/kmsg for
kernel messages. The error message I get looks like:
Oct 24 14:03:06 shadowlance kernel:

What can I do?
These errors are a sign that either the Selinux policies are
not syslog-ng aware or have not been enabled yet. Make sure you
have the latest policies for your distribution and then use
getsebool to see if usesyslogng is turned on
# getsebool use_syslogng
use_syslogng --> inactive
# setsebool -P use_syslogng=1
I am trying to send all important messages from a bunch of
other machines to a central syslog-ng server via tcp. I chose
tcp partly, because the same log server gets all kinds of less
important stuff via udp from other machines, which can easily
be distinguished that way, but partially also because I
expected tcp to be more reliable. Unfortunately, this does not
seem to be the case: When the connection has died for any
reason, the client will only discover this when it is trying to
send the next message to the server. Only then it starts to
wait until "time_reopen" is over and establishes a new
connection - the message that originally triggered this and
whatever comes in between is lost.
This has been discussed quite a bit lately on the mailing list.
A single line is written to a TCP socket without an error when
the connection has been lost. It is not until the next message
is written that the error condition is reported by the kernel.
http://marc.info/?l=syslog-ng&m=110742087620842&w=2 - a good technical explanation by the syslog-ng author.
What are some tips for optimizing a really busy loghost running syslog-ng?
In no particular order:
If you use DNS, at least keep a caching DNS server
running on the local host and make use of it - or
better yet don't use DNS.
You can post-process logs on an analysis host later on
and resolve hostnames at that time if you need to. On
your loghost your main concern is keeping up with the
incoming log stream - the last thing you want to do is
make the recording of events rely on an external
lookup. syslog-ng blocks on DNS lookups (as noted
elsewhere in this FAQ), so you'll slow down/stop ALL
destinations with slow/failed DNS lookups.
Don't log to the console or a tty, under heavy load they
won't be able to read the messages as fast as syslog-ng
sends them, slowing down syslog-ng too much.
Don't use regular expressions in your filters. Instead of:

filter f_xntp_filter_no_regexp {
# original line: "xntpd[1567]: time error -1159.777379 is way too large (set clock manually);
program("xntpd") and
match("time error .* is way too large .* set clock manually");
filter f_xntp_filter_no_regexp {
# original line: "xntpd[1567]: time error -1159.777379 is way too large (set clock manually);
program("xntpd") and
match("time error") and match("is way too large") and match("set clock manually");
Under heavy, heavy logging load you'll see CPU usage like this when using regexps:
...vs CPU usage like this when not using regexps:
Note that the results at the bottom of the graphs show that the test with heavy
regexp use caused huge delays, almost 25% lost messages (the test only sent 5,000 messages!)
and hammered the CPU. The test without regexps was one where I sent 50,000 messages, and
it hardly used any CPU, didn't drop any messages and all the messages made it across
in under a second (not all 50,000, each individual message made it in under a second). Note
that the "Pace" of 500/sec is simply how fast they were injected to the syslog system
using the syslog() system call (from perl using Unix::Syslog).
NOTE: when not using regexps and matching on different
pieces of the message, you might match messages that you don't
mean to. There is only a small risk of this, and it is much
better than running out of CPU resources on your log server
under most circumstances. It is your call to make.
Please don't ask me for the scripts that generated these graphs, I wrote them for work
and it probably wouldn't be possible to ever release them. I hope to one day write some
like it in my free time and release them...but that may be a pipe dream. :(
There's a good chance you'll want to set per-destination
buffers. The official reference manual covers the subject here.
The idea here is to make sure that when you have multiple log
destinations that might block somewhat "normally" (TCP and FIFO come to mind)
that they don't interfere with each other's buffering. If you have a TCP
connection maxed out in its buffer because of an extended network problem, but
have only a temporary problem feeding logs into a FIFO, you can avoid losing
any data in the FIFO (assuming your buffer size is large enough to handle the
backup) if you set up separate buffers.
If our TCP destination connection drops because the regional syslog server is
down for a syslog-ng upgrade or kernel patch, we want events bound for the TCP
destination to be held in the buffer and sent across once the connection is
re-established. If our bucket is already filled because of FIFO problems to a
local process, we can't buffer a single message for the entire duration of the
TCP connection outage. Ouch.
The problem with implementing per-destination buffers is that the log_fifo_size
option was added to the TCP destinations in the 1.6.6 version. You need to
upgrade to syslog-ng 1.6.6 or later (I suggest the latest stable version).

Many aspects of healthcare reform are expected to boost the cost of company-provided healthcare, including the removal of lifetime dollar limits, the pay-or-play requirement, the mandate to offer coverage to adult children and the requirement that companies auto enroll employees. Another source of costs has gotten less attention: Employers face new fees as a result of the law, and they are also likely to see cost increases that reflect the fees being levied on the providers of healthcare.
"There's just all sorts of fees," says Tracy Watts, a partner and senior health care consultant at Mercer. "This challenge of cost is huge."
Jane Jensen, a senior consulting actuary in the health and group benefits practice at Towers Watson, estimates that in 2014, fees might mean additional costs equal to 1.5% to 2% of plan costs for self-funded plans.
"These fees will hit organizations in a number of different ways," Jensen says. "Some phase out and some don't."
For example, starting this year, health insurers and sponsors of self-insured plans will begin paying to fund the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute created by the healthcare reform law. The research fee starts at $1 per covered life, rises to $2 per covered life in 2013, and ends in 2018.
From 2014 through 2016, the Health and Human Services Department will levy a transitional reinsurance program fee on health plans that is expected to raise $25 billion over the three years. The funds raised will provide insurers with reinsurance for covering high-risk individuals in the start-up years of state health exchanges.
Also beginning in 2014, there will be an annual fee imposed permanently on health insurers that provide fully insured coverage, which is expected to raise at least $17 billion through 2019. A fee on pharmaceutical manufacturers began in 2011 that is estimated to raise $28 billion through 2019, and medical device makers will begin paying a 2.9% excise tax next year. These fees on healthcare providers are expected to be passed through to companies that provide health coverage.
"From the employer perspective, we believe that most, if not all, of the health industry taxes will be passed through to plans in the form of higher costs and, if you're self-funding, through higher administrative fees from the health plans and fees that the pharmaceutical and medical device industry will pass on," says Steve Wojcik, vice president of public policy at the National Business Group on Health, which represents large employers' views on health policy.
Wojcik notes that about half the funding for expanding insurance coverage via the state exchanges and Medicaid is expected to be raised via taxes on the healthcare industry, employers that provide healthcare and high-income individuals.
"Taken individually, many of [the fees] are insignificant," says Wojcik, pictured at right. "But taken together, they add up. Plus the uncertainty about whether the taxes are going to be increased in the future, how they're going to be implemented—all of that adds to a climate of uncertainty when companies are trying to nail down their costs, including their healthcare costs. It's hard to do that when there's all this uncertainty."
Mercer's Watts notes another possible cost: the fines associated with not complying with various provisions of the healthcare reform law. For example, "willful failure to provide [summaries of benefits and coverage] can be penalized with a fine of up to $1,000 per person," Watts says. "We all want to be sure we're complying."

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- Amongst a sea of news about NBC's late-night changes, Peacock scripted chief Angela Bromstad confirmed a handful of primetime developments following the network's executive session at the TCA Winter Press Tour.
Here's a breakdown of the news:
-- Series-turned-mini-series "Day One" has been trimmed even further as the project will now simply air as a two-hour backdoor pilot movie. While no air date has been set, it's understood we'll see it "towards the end of the season." She later adds, "It will be a pilot where you could see where it could go in series but there will be a [resolution] at the end of the two hours."
-- "Law & Order" has been picked up for at least four additional episodes, bringing its season total to 20. Despite the extension, Bromstad confirms the show isn't yet a go for season 21.
-- As for a proposed Los Angeles edition of the franchise, she reveals "we're talking about writers." The genesis of an LA edition was born out of a discussion about "if, for instance, 'Law & Order' the mothership didn't go beyond a couple more years then that [way] of telling stories is so unique that I actually think it could work in Los Angeles with a new look and a new set of cast [members]. And also there's not really, other than 'Southland,' a great LA-based cop show." Bromstad also noted it could be ready as early as the fall and was quick to stress it's not an either/or scenario - both "Law & Order" and a "Law & Order: LA" project will be treated separately.
-- "100 Questions" is still on track to launch in the spring however international acquisition "Persons Unknown" is more likely a summer show.
-- "Trauma" will definitely return sometime after the Olympics.
-- Bromstad on its "Rockford Files" update: "It's just that great character. There isn't that P.I. character on television right now. So if we do a creative reinvention of that, that title I don't think there's anyone better to do it than David Shore, who creates such a great character in 'House.' And I will tell you the script was just one of the best Christmas presents I've had in a long time... it [feels] very contemporary but has all the hallmarks of the original series."
-- "Heroes" creator Tim Kring is currently pitching the network his ideas for a fifth season. Production however has already been completed on season four so a definitive conclusion won't be possible if it is canceled.
-- And finally, during the panel proper Jeff Gaspin noted they have the option to air the fourth season of "Friday Night Lights" beginning March 1 however it's undecided if they'll move it up from its previously announced summer return. As for "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," the Peacock still has the rights to some of last season's episodes but must wait for USA to broadcast its run for the new episodes.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bye-bye Black Friday. So long Small Business Saturday. Now, it's Cyber Monday's turn.
NEW YORK (AP) — Bye-bye Black Friday. So long Small Business Saturday. Now, it's Cyber Monday's turn.
Cyber Monday, coined in 2005 by a shopping trade group that noticed online sales spiked on the Monday following Thanksgiving, is the next in a series of days that stores are counting on to jumpstart the holiday shopping season.
It's estimated that this year's Cyber Monday will be the biggest online shopping day of the year for the third year in a row: According to research firm comScore, Americans are expected to spend $1.5 billion, up 20 percent from last year on Cyber Monday, as retailers have ramped up their deals to get shoppers to click on their websites.
Amazon.com, which is starting its Cyber Monday deals at midnight on Monday, is offering as much as 60 percent off a Panasonic VIERA 55-inch TV that's usually priced higher than $1,000. Sears is offering $430 off a Maytag washer and dryer, each on sale for $399. And Kmart is offering 75 percent off all of its diamond earrings and $60 off a 12-in-1 multigame table on sale for $89.99.
Retailers are hoping the deals will appeal to shoppers like Matt Sexton, 39, who for the first time plans to complete all of his holiday shopping online this year on his iPad tablet computer. Sexton, who plans to spend up to $4,000 this season, already shopped online on the day after Thanksgiving known as Black Friday and found a laptop from Best Buy for $399, a $200 savings, among other deals.


text: Hello One Hello All, It has been alittle time since the launch and the retail availbility of Intel new Sandy Bridge CPUs ( especially K parts ) as well as their corresponding P67 Motherboards. We at ASUS would like to first and foremost thank all the users who have once again trusted in ASUS and purchased one of our P8P67 Series of motherboards. We have worked quite hard to ensure a quality range of boards with a quality bios are ready at the time of launch. With that noted there are alot of changes that users are going to need to be aware of. As such I am releasing this information in hope users will know how to best use their boards and new UEFI options. Hopefully this guide will provide a solid detailing of many of the new aspects users are interested should there be additional questions, concerns or inqueries please let me know and i will do my best to reply. Lastly as always ASUS holds no liability for any damage you or your hardware may incur during the pursuits of overclocking. I have detailed our recommendations to maximize the overclocking potential / scaling on ASUS P67 series of motherboards. This Guide has been developed after extensive internal testing across multiple boards, multiple bios builds and a high sampling rate of both D1 and D2 CPUs. While this guide is not a definitive article listing every possible overclocking combination, the information contained listed is providing repeatable results in our testing. Of course the quality of the cpu and cooling is very important but overall we think the results on our boards should exceed those of others at like settings. Expectations regarding K series overclocking in general and on ASUS P67 motherboardsPrior to the recommendations on overclocking the K series, I am outlining our results to set expectations. The results below are based on the range of the CPU turbo multiplier when overclocking. Results are representative of 100 D2 CPUs that were binned and tested for stability under load; these results will most likely represent retail CPUs. 1. Approximately 50% of CPUs can go up to 4.4~4.5 GHz 2. Approximately 40% of CPUs can go up to 4.6~4.7 GHz 3. Approximately 10% of CPUs can go up to 4.8~5 GHz (50+ multipliers are about 2% of this group) Additionally it is recommended to keep 「C1E」and「EIST」option enabled for the best overclock scaling. This is different than previous Intel overclocking expectations where the best scaling was with disabled power states or power management options. Update specific to D2 and retail parts: Jan 11 2001 As always ASUS strives to be at the forefront of performance and functionality offered by a quality bios. Keeping this in mind ASUS has been actively working in conjunction with Intel to optimize overclocking potential on ASUS P8P67 motherboards and K series CPUs. With the latest bios revisions ( 1000 series ) or 600 series for ROG specific optimizations have been made to the microcode and corresponding tables that relate to D2 and retail parts. These are improvement are in addition to general improvements in all respects. Present with this new build of the UEFI is a new option. This option / value is Intel PPL Overvoltage this option furthers multiplier scaling considerably.* In addition due to the increase in scaling more exotic forms of cooling cannot be used and will be needed under certain multiplier ranges and corresponding voltages. The general maximum range for the highest performing dual fan air based heastinks still remains 50x to 52x. * Intel PPL Overvoltage ( for increased K series overclocking set to enabled ) Overall in our ongoing internal tests the maximum frequency now achievable ( under LN2 ) is 5.8GHz. At this time we do not have a compiled database to reference improvements in the overall scaling range or new % of CPUs able to hit 50+ multis. With that noted currently we are seeing generally a minimum of 2 multi to as much as 7 multi increases with this value enabled on applicable D2 and retail parts. Example A D2 sample with peak multiplier of 44 with PPL option enabled and corresponding voltage applied we have seen results of a stable 50 multiplier now able to post / boot and be held. ( previously without the PLL value the same CPU would failed to compelte a boot with a any multi exceeding 45 ) In addition to the increase of the multiplier range a side effect is additional Vcore needed to compensate for maintained post/boot and stability tests. The new voltage level do not align with standard voltage scaling ( on CPU already able to hit / sustain comparable multipliers. Example Generally 4.8GHz stability can be achieved at 1.400 1.425 Vcore now with PLL enabled D2 parts exceeding their previous max multiplier the increase in voltage would be 1.425 1.450. It is important to note this option should generally only be used with D2 and retail parts NOT D1 parts. Internally we have partial results to indicate degradation of stability at previously reached multiplier values. Some internal testing has shown on limited samples that some improvement is possible (generally in the range of 1 multi possibly 2 ) In addition continued testing with the PPL option enabled and D2 or retail parts have shown some benefits to CStates being disabled when approaching, at or exceeding a 50x multiplier. An important note to keep in mind is that disabling CStates can considerably affect HD performance ( especially SATA6G ) Please keep this in mind when going for the highest level overclocks. Expectations regarding K series overclocking implementation options on ASUS motherboards Using Speedstep or Not Using Speedstep Quick Note on implementation of K series Turbo Multiplier control While our Digi+ VRM option has extensive adjustments to voltages, multipliers and Bclk (such as .1 increments ex 106.8 or 108.1) one specific difference is noted below. With the latest bios revision ASUS motherboards have a high level of flexibility at customizing the efficiency and consistency of the overclock values set in the UEFI. It possible to overclock while keeping speedstep enabled and use the offset voltage method for Vcore increase this will provide the overall best in temperature and heatsink performance as well as generally efficiency and extension of the lifespan of the motherboards its components and the CPU. This is due to the Turbo Multiplier working and exucting ramping as Intel intended. Example leaving all CStates and Speedstep enabled will allow the CPU to idle down in Vcore and frequency ( 1600MHz ) and ramp up when under load to 4.8GHz when needed. Should there be interest in consistently maintain a desired clock frequency users can disable Speedstep and still keep Intel Turbo multiplier overclocking enabled. Please note that overall disabling or adjustments of Speedstep or CStates do not affect overclocking range ( this is different than previous generations when power saving states were advised to be disabled when exceeding 3.8 to 4.0GHz ). K series overclocking benefits on different ASUS P67 motherboards Quick Note Regarding Motherboard Stack What does going higher in the board stack provide overclocking wise? ASUS entire line of P67 motherboards features a class leading and high performance Digi+ VRM implementation that allows for superior overclocking performance; there will be differences between boards. While our entire board lineup has been internally tested to fully support K series processors, when overclocking in multiplier ranges of 50 to 54x the higher end boards will benefit in two key categories. 1. Better Vdroop efficiency. 2. The ability to help drive and sustain a 50+ high load Overclock under maximum loads. Examples of boards that focus on this level are our Deluxe, WS, SABERTOOTH, and Maximus IV Extreme K series overclocking multipier wall Quick Note regarding the K series multiplier wall Previous generations of Intel CPUs due to architectural differences had two aspects that could readily change OC scaling potential. These two factors were TDP (heat output under load) as well as core (CPU/VTT ) voltage being supplied. With previous generation cpus, improvements such as high end air cooling, water cooling or more extreme forms like LN2 in addition to extreme voltage increases could potentially provide increases in clock speeds on a continual ramp until the limits of the CPU were reached. This is not the case with K series on the P67 chipset. In internal testing we have found that maximum multipliers in excess of 50 (up to 54) have been able to be realized with full stability under Air Cooling and with cpu vid voltages under 1.525V. In fact, the processors will actually start to downclock as they get colder with temperatures under -20C actually performing worse than the retail air cooler at times. The processors optimal range for performance is around 15~20C in our testing. An example is noted below. Should you have a CPU in hand that reaches a 47 multi easily ( posting/booting and running full stability tests at a set Vcore of 1.375V) you would then attempt to jump to the next multiplier. With the K series CPUs you may have reached the max multi regardless of the cooling or voltage used. Adjustments to either of these settings will not change the ability of the board and CPU to post at 48x. The only time it will continue to scale would be if the CPU in hand supports higher multipliers or can be finely tweaked to reach that next multi, in this case we suggest using the 47x multi and adjusting Bclk until you reach the limits of stability. 100BCLK + 47 Turbo Multiplier with Vcore of 1.375 and LLC ( load line calibration of ultra high = 4.7GHz 100BCLK + 48 Turbo Multiplier with Vcore of 1.400 and LLC ( load line calibration of ultra high ) = no boot 100BCLK + 48 Turbo Multiplier with Vcore of 1.425 and LLC ( load line calibration of ultra high ) = no boot 100BCLK + 48 Turbo Multiplier with Vcore of 1.450 and LLC ( load line calibration of ultra high ) = no boot It is important to note that a post will still occur with a multi present that is at the multi wall. This is because only when the OS begins to initialize and the Turbo ratio is initialized ( kicks in and ramps up ) that Turbo Multiplier will be raised to defined multi at this point it will then cease to boot due to the multiplier wall being reached. K series overclocking and voltage range recommendations Quick Note regarding Voltage Scaling Internal binning of both D1 and D2 parts we discovered consistent voltage scaling patterns. 1. For K series parts, the stock voltage supplied will allow for consistent overclocking generally up to a multiplier of 43x. There is potential for the multi to be raised to 44x depending on the load induced. This default voltage range be approx 1.240 to 1.260 under load. 2. Increased range between 44 to 47x multipliers will generally require a voltage range between 1.30 to 1.375V with an LLC recommended setting of high to ultra high. 3. Increasing the range between 48 to 50x multiplier will generally require a voltage range between 1.40 to 1.500 with a LLC recommended setting of ultra high. 4. Increased range between 50 to 52 (52 generally considered peak max multiplier except for rare 54x parts) will generally require a CPU voltage range between 1.515 to 1.535V with LLC at Ultra High and potential fine adjustments to the CPU skew range. Overall a key item to note is the best voltage to oc scaling range potential for the turbo multiplier is 1.400 to 1.425 vcore. Using this voltage range with an LLC recommendation of ultra high will generally provide the best scaling potential with proper load temperatures*. We have generally found exceeding this voltage will not provide additional scaling or will increase load temperatures to a high level with synthetic load applications ( like Prime, Linx, OCCT ). Should you use more realistic loading testing (our recommendation is a combination of AIDA64 stress test, PC Mark Vantage) then temperatures under will be considerably under the max TDP rating. *cooling recommendation and test performed with CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ with Single Fan, this is the minimum recommendation for multis above 46x. For 50+ multis we recommend a dual fan configuration with this cooler or improved cooling. K series overclocking benefits from non CPU Voltage based adjustments ( UEFI values for power management , Cstates, PCH etc ) Quick note regarding bios values that should be adjusted Over a long test and tune cycle, ASUS has developed a class leading bios with superior auto overclocking. This superior performance translates to overclocking in two ways, manually or automatically via the use of our Auto Tuning application. Keeping in mind that most retail K series parts will be sub 50 multi capable, our Auto Tuning application has been designed to Auto Tune up to a range of 50 should the CPU support it. In effect reaching the absolute maximum clock a user can reach manually. Additionally Auto Tuning can serve as a good option for seeing the potential in the CPU and max multiplier it may have before fine tuning the system. An example is shown below. P8P67 (Standard) 2600K, Hyper 212+, Corsair 1600C8 memory 4 dimm. Should you continue with manual overclocking, these are the advised recommended values. 4.7GHz or Below All bios values to Auto except for those noted- CPU Turbo Multiplier Dram Voltage to specification Internal testing has shown Auto Values will allow for stability in all forms of testing including high synthetic high load applications (Linx, Prime95, Occt ). In the event general stability is not achieved in these synthetic high load applications, you can adjust the noted values for improved stability. Digi + VRM options VRM frequency to 350 Requires setting to manual adjustment and entering the specified value. 4.7GHz and above CPU Turbo Multiplier To desired value Dram Voltage to specification Digi + VRM options VRM Frequency change to 350 this value will allow for scaling to 50+ multi without issues Phase Control change to extreme this value will allow for scaling to 50+ multi without issues Duty Control change to extreme - this value will for scaling to 50+ multi without issues. No other values need to be changed. Unless otherwise noted all other UEFI values used are AUTO. K series overclocking and its affect on subsystem performance especially HD performance Quick note regarding options that can affect subsystem performance It is NOT advised to make adjustments to Cstates as this can considerably affect hard drive throughput performance ( especially SATA6G SSD or Sandforce 2 based SSD ). It is recommended that all CPU power configuration states be left on their default parameters. Overclocking tests have shown internally no increase in multiplier scaling when adjusting these values. * under special cases with high multi capable CPUs and synthetic high load applications ( Linx, Prime, Occt ) it may required C states to be disabled. This has generally only been confirmed for some 51-54 multi capable CPUs. K series overclocking benefits from adjustments to Digi+ VRM options Advanced Digi+ VRM options recommendations VCCSA This has shown in internal testing not to improve overclocking, yet may still maintain the same level of stability while being lowered from its default value in order to keep the CPU cooler. VCCIO The adjustment of this voltage may help to slightly improve the overclocking capability of the IMC / DRAM, even though the default voltage is enough to run at a 2133MHz DRAM frequency. A 1.20v setting is more than adequate to maximize Memory overclocks in most cases. CPU PLL This setting did not improve overclocking, yet the user can maintain the same level of stability while lowering its default value in order to keep the CPU cooler. PCH Voltage This setting did not improve overclocking, yet the user can maintain the same level of stability while lowering its default value in order to keep the CPU/PCH cooler. PCH PLL This setting did not improve overclocking, yet the user can maintain the same level of stability while lowering its default value in order to keep the CPU/PCH cooler. K series overclocking and how BCLK is affected and how to best optimize BCLK scaling Quick Note for BCLK tuning BCLK clocking is considerably reduced with this new CPU architecture and as such it is recommended to focus on Turbo Multiplier adjustments for overclocking. With that noted should you choose to make adjustments to the BCLK, ASUS has enabled extensive control to maximizing scaling. Internal testing shows BCLK ranges from 102 to 109.1 with the largest level of scaling dependency placed on the quality of the CPU. CPU Frequency and speed is also directly tied to BCLK scaling. Internally we know that BCLK tuning largely depends on the CPU with approximately but we have noticed up to a 20% dependency on scaling potential based on the board design and PWM utilized. At 4.9GHz, generally the maximum clock speed will not change with a different combination of multi and bclk in this particular example. Example- 100x49 = 4.9GHz 103x48 = 4.9xxGHz Generally the CPU will not do much more than what your maximum CPU multiplier range is in most cases. Keeping this in mind, we offer very fine adjustments down to 0.1x increments to allow for the maximum BCLK tuning. Lastly when considering adjustments to the BLCK range, it is important to remember it will affect the memory divider/strap and DRAM frequency. Keeping this in mind you may want to adjust to a lower divider if your memory does not higher frequencies. This especially true when attempting to sustain 4 dimm and high memory density configurations with high BCLK and high Turbo Multiplier values.

Prior to having my son, I was a bit of a party animal. Okay, let's be honest, I was pretty wild, party animal doesn't even BEGIN to describe it. I had a group of girlfriends and we partied hard and often. And I loved it.
Then I got pregnant. Immediately, I knew that my life was not going to cut it. Because while all of my friends were content to party thier lives away forever, I secretlly always wanted a family and to be a mommy. And while my boyfriend did not want a family life, and…Continue

I never in my life realized how much laundry having a child would add to my life!! I mean he is so small, how can he possible create this much extra laundry?! And it take up so much space. I mean where am I supposed to put it all. And how do I organize it? By type? By size? By type and size? Folding his laundry makes me crazy...I'm not even going to try to deny that there have been times I leave it in the laundry basket just because I find the idea of folding, sorting, and putting…Continue

When I found out that I was pregnant, I pretty much knew that I would be doing this on my own. Something told me that my boyfriend at the time was just not prepared for what we were about to face. And I was right. He split a mere 12 weeks into my pregnancy.…Continue
Welcome to Mom Blogger's Club! I hope you enjoy your time here and find it helpful! I know it can be overwhelming at first but I promise, you'll be a pro on here in no time! I write a blog called The Adventures of J-Man and MillerBug. It's a blog about my life with my two boys and I do some pretty cool giveaways (OK, I think they're cool! Do you?)
Every weekend I host the Finding New Friends Weekend Blog Hop. It's a great way to find new followers and friends as well as get to know more of your fellow mom bloggers. If you're not familiar with a blog hop, all you have to do is add your blog to the list. Participants then "hop" from blog to blog to find great new blogs! It's a ton of fun! I'd love to have you join us. It's going on now so come on over and link up! You can find it here:http://www.jmanandmillerbug.com/2011/12/finding-new-friends-weekend-blog-hop.html#more. Be sure to leave a messge if you join up so that I can follow you back!
Let me know if you have any questions or if I can help you with anything in your blogging journey! I look forward to being your friend!
