Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Review
Getting rid of the heat generated by your CPU is one of the things we as enthusiasts constantly struggle with while we attempt to keep the CPU alive when looking for those last few MHz. Air cooling has come a long way in the past few years with solutions that vary from mild to wild. Liquid cooling, or "Water" cooling as it is known, has gathered an immense following over the past few years as parts and "kits" become available to allow the novice entry into the world of liquid cooling. First off, most people wonder out loud and question your sanity when told that you have a "water" cooling system in a computer that was just purchased for a few grand - knowing that water and electricity don't mix!. Water and electricity definitely do not play nicely together when the inevitable happens but the benefits offer a tremendous upside. That being said, there has been a proliferation of self-contained liquid cooling systems introduced over the past two years that have steadily improved in cooling performance so that they rival even some of the best air coolers out on the market. Products from CooliT and Corsair have opened the market on these efficient (and when compared to a full bore liquid cooling system) inexpensive options. Asetek, a trusted OEM supplier had partnered with Corsair on the H50 and H70 systems, the performance of which have been well documented. Asetek and Antec have teamed up to provide this addition to their Kuhler series of cooling products to bring out an easy to install self-contained system for the masses including gamers and overclockers. Just looking at the packaging and performance charts, the Kuhler H20 620 shows promise. Let's see if Antec and Asetek have teamed up for a winning combination.
Closer Look:
The full color packaging shows the Kuhler H20 620 on the front with a the socket compatibility listed along the bottom of the package. The rear shows the key components of the Kuhler H20 620 with a description of each item including the radiator/fan combo along with the tubing and pump/cooling plate combo. One side has a graph showing relative performance against both a stock Intel cooling solution and first generation LCs. The other side has the specifications for the system. The packaging has a look that will stand out on retail shelves.
The Kuhler H20 620 is housed in a form-fitted cardboard tray which guards each of the parts of the assembly in separate compartments. This method seems to work as more and more companies are using this method to house components for shipping, along with being more environmentally friendly.
The accessory package contains all that is needed to install the Kuhler 620 onto any of the supported CPU sockets. Included are a detailed instruction manual a single 120mm fan and the mounting hardware. The mounting hardware is pure Asetek OEM and comes with both an Intel and AMD backplate and socket specific spacers. Blue for Intel and Green for AMD. The main difference besides the color is the amount of holes in the spacer.
So far the Antec Kuler H20 620 looks like a hybrid design of two Asetek designs. The key is which one will it perform like?

1386.0 - What's New in Regional Statistics, June 2011
Previous ISSUE Released at 11:30 AM (CANBERRA TIME) 20/06/2011
|Page tools: Print Page Print All RSS Search this Product
Estimates are presented at Australia, State/Territory and Murrary-Darling Basin (MDB) and non-MDB levels. Data for a range of sub-state geographic levels, including Natural Resource Management (NRM) regions, Statistical Divisions (SD) and Murray-Darling Basin (MDB) will be released in July 2011.
On 28 February the ABS released Land Account: Great Barrier Reef Region, Experimental Estimates, 2011 (cat. no. 4609.0.55.001).
This release provides integrated social, economic and environment data with spatial location information. Information for the geographic areas released range from small city blocks to sparse agricultural areas, remote communities and Natural Resource Management regions. In this format, the information could be viewed at the community level or brought together for those users wishing to look at larger spatial areas. The release did not require any new statistical collections to be conducted. It was compiled from existing data sources available from Commonwealth and State Government Agencies demonstrating what can be achieved through information sharing – the concept of "create once, use many times".
The collaboration between agencies in providing information for this release demonstrates the value of the National Statistical Service in building a rich statistical picture for a better informed Australia.
A Google Earth® interface presents a fly over view of the Great Barrier Reef catchment regions, which are divided up into 3,005 small statistical areas. Data windows present more than 70 attributes for each of these small land areas, across the themes:
The release is the result of collaborative work from a number of government departments to provide, in the one product, a range of available information on land use, land value and land cover. It is hoped this data set will inform debate on a wide range of issues including population settlement, measuring the health of the environment, the sustainable production of goods and services and natural disaster management.
Data are available at NRM and SA1 regional levels. For a sample of the output at the SA1 level, go to the Downloads tab in the release using the link above.

It has been a tremendous year for your Chamber, as we now have 1,100 members, up more than 10 percent thanks to a fantastic membership drive spearheaded by community leaders Ervin Bazzle, Ruth Birge, Chris Burns, Cam Boyd, Jay Kirby, Jeff Miller, Bill McKibbin, Tommy Thompson, Molly Parkhill and Sandra Tallant.
Our total resource campaign had another record setting year led by Chamber board members Tiffany Ervin and Garry Sherrill. These fantastic people, along with countless others who toiled long and hard with their strong love of Henderson County, have put the Chamber in a solid financial position to continue its mission of advocating for citizens, businesses, schools and the future.
Like the businesses we represent, the past few years have tested us, and we have made hard decisions, scrapping for nickels and dimes as they add up to quarters and dollars. We also are reminded daily that our mission to serve the business community of Henderson County is more relevant than ever.
United force
The Chamber is unique in the fact that we are a large organization that brings together the stakeholders of Henderson County. We have business leaders, educators, public servants, and small and large companies united with the common objective to address our challenges.
The Chamber serves a base function of ribbon cuttings, seminars, training, network opportunities, updating our business community, and interfacing with schools and government leaders. The need today is greater than ever. Our challenges and opportunities are more complex, while economic growth and our common prosperity demand a united effort to solve those challenges.
An example of the collaboration required is work force development, led by board member Laura Misner. We all agree that to advance an economy, expand the tax base to pay for roads and schools, attraction and retention of quality businesses that provide high-paying jobs is necessary.
Nationally, it is clear that manufacturing is doing very well as the United States by far is the world's leading manufacturer. Globally, we are very competitive due to our natural gas infrastructure and historically being a place considered safe due to well-established laws and regulations.
In Henderson County, the median annual wage is about $30,000, while the median manufacturing wage is about $48,000. Due to the rebounding manufacturing sector locally and nationally, this is a great opportunity to grow the economy in Henderson County.
Training work force
The national challenge of developing a qualified work force is something we also must address locally. For example, there are 6,000 jobs available at Microsoft that are not filled due to a lack of qualified applicants. This is a systemic problem in the country. We don't have enough engineers, welders and machinists.
By training our young folks and displaced workers, and encouraging them to take advantage of training at Blue Ridge Community College, we give them the education they need to be successful and selfsuffi cient. We also prepare a work force that is qualified and appealing to new companies. Manufacturers and businesses demand and need an educated work force that is skilled in math and computers, and has the communication capabilities to work in a team environment. Manufacturing today is high technology and requires a trained work force. New companies looking for a home in Henderson County want to see that we have the trained workers to meet their needs.
The battle to maintain business-friendly regulations and a tax structure at the state and local level that is attractive to new industry becomes increasingly important because of the nature of economic development. The North Carolina state tax, which is high compared with other states in close proximity, and our $2.5 billion unemployment tax liability are challenges that must be addressed at the state level.
Attracting jobs
The Chamber, along with other chambers in the state, must continue to present the case that businesses represent jobs, which represent the tax base that funds our common needs, and we must be attractive for the retention and growth of the business community and the corresponding labor base.
I want to thank the 2012 Henderson County Board of Directors. This is by far one of the best boards I have been associated with. Their passion for Henderson County is inspiring.
They have worked tirelessly to accomplish a very broad mission and have done so with reduced resources as the temper of our times has required the continuation of austerity measures.
Well-earned thanks
I want to thank the staff of the Henderson County Chamber as they have agreed to lower staffing levels and reduce benefits; at the same time, they have agreed to do more. The board and staff have added new functions, such as the Zombie Run, and expanded the membership base by more than 10 percent under a difficult economy.
They have been on the front lines fighting for tax and regulatory reform that benefits our business community. They have shared many successes in the recruitment of new businesses and the retention of our existing industry.
They of course continue to do the things you expect of a Chamber — the Business Morning Updates, Business After Hours, ribbon cuttings, Business Expo, numerous monthly seminars, ambassadors calling on our businesses, special functions such as the golf tournament, bowling tournament, N.C. Scholar Luncheons, and the routine committee meetings that tackle the continuing challenges of meeting our infrastructure needs such as roads and schools, and our Small Business Committee, which works tirelessly to meet the needs of our entrepreneurs.
The most important people I would like to thank are you, our members. You continue to support your community despite the economic adversity. It takes courage to open a business and face the prospects of "going alone." It takes heart to share your experience and resources with others, and you do that by supporting the Chamber. When enough people care, are willing to get involved, great things happen, as we have witnessed this year.
Thank you, Henderson County for the opportunity to be the 2012 Henderson County Chamber chair. It has been a wonderful experience, and I leave convinced that we truly live in a paradise bustled in the mountains with the greatest, most generous people who have chosen to make this home.
I look forward with much anticipation as Chuck Edwards, our 2013 chair, along with President Bob Williford lead us forward in 2013. Your 2013 Chamber staff, along with the 2013 board, will represent you well. They are prepared to work hard to make 2013 an even better year!
Leaders met and conquered our challenges
It has been a tremendous year for your Chamber, as we now have 1,100 members, up more than 10 percent thanks to a fantastic membership drive spearheaded by community leaders Ervin Bazzle, Ruth Birge, Chris Burns, Cam Boyd, Jay Kirby, Jeff Miller, Bill McKibbin, Tommy Thompson, Molly Parkhill and Sandra Tallant.

The Walrus Says
Kudos to the Rocket 'hogs for a great show. Donations for the annual fireworks can be made year round. Send your check to the Rocket 'hogs at P.O. Box 1776, Jamestown, RI 02835. If you send it in as a gift in someone's name we'll mention it in the column.
Head 'hog Gregg Charest reports that donations came in last week from Eileen and Steven Teixiera; Catherine Willingham; Joan and John McCauley; the Cerilli family; Sally and Peter Schott; Mark and Deborah Harrington; Agnes Filkins; Dr. Sue Kelly; Irene Roditakis and Peter Swenton; the Bresnan Shipping Corporation; Gary and Margaret Jacobsen; Conanicut Marine Services; Dot Norton; Francis and Alexandra Hope Darrigan; Charles V. Osenton; Margueritte and Walter Bopp; Joellen Quaglietta and Arthur Fiorenzano; Jill and Frank Meyer; M. Theresa Paiva-Weed; Norman Beretta; the Jamestown Early Learning Center; Tim, Kevin and Ryan Baker; Kristen and Phillip Zhivago; the Evan Corporation and Suzanne and Mark Grosby.
Gregg said, "We are extremely thankful for everyone who donated so generously at McQuade's. We certainly couldn't have done it without those donations. The 'hogs are very happy with the show overall, and we'll see you next year on the beach."
Kristin Zhivago contributed to this year's display and offers this suggestion to the 'hogs. "It occurs to me they'd get a lot more money if they would say how close, or far, they are from their goal, starting a month or two before the fireworks. If those of us in the community knew they were close or not, we might step up our giving accordingly. Just a small mention in your column, perhaps, each week, saying how much came in and how much is still needed. Can't help but notice stuff like this, given my line of work." (Kristin is a revenue coach and president of Zhivago Management Partners.) ***
Barbara-Ann Mac Intosh, Kath O'Neill and Roxy Smith pegged last week's poser as "God Bless the USA." Roxy said she has sung it many times as a member of the Newport Navy Choristers. Lee Greenwood wrote the song in 1983 and it received a lot of play after 9/11 as patriotism finally became a priority in America, for a short time anyway.
Congratulations to Police Chief Edward Mello. Welcome to the island.
The Bayside Garden Railroad is stoking its boilers for an open house for Jamestown students and employees. It will take place at the home of Veronika and Monty Neronha on 98 East Shore Road on Saturday, July 17, from noon to 4 p.m. Parents, siblings and grandparents are also invited to the special viewing.
The railroad has over 500 feet of track with five running trains, miniature bridges and 22 buildings. The plantings in the village surrounding the tracks are all dwarf, bonsai or miniature shrubs. The ground cover matches the scale of the buildings and bridges. The railroad has been recognized by the New England Cable News TV stations as one of the outstanding garden railroads in New England. It has also been one of the featured gardens in the island's Quononoquott Garden Club's tour.
All youngsters must be accompanied by an adult. The rain date for the open house is Sunday, July 17. Questions? Call 423-1391.
All aboard! *** Tomorrow is Mim's birthday. Hugs, please!
There is no common sense anymore.
We can relax for awhile; the General Assembly is in recess.
I still see the word "fisherperson" in print.
A pox on chain restaurants that show us pictures of juicy, thick steaks on TV, but when you order one it comes out of the kitchen a small, black unrecognizable piece of beef. And, it costs $17.
Trying to get plastic food container lids off without pliers is driving me nuts. Then try to get them back on again without a hammer.
Why do people in news photos always "look on?" How about watch, observe or listen?
I've got so much honey the bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.
I guess you'd say,
What can make me feel this way?
Will the person who sent us an e-mail about the Rocket 'hogs and McQuade's please send it through again. I hit the wrong key.
Using materials he utilized while covering the Red Sox for the ProJo and ESPN, Steven Krasner will conduct a writing workshop for school-aged children and their older companions on Friday, July 15, from 11 a.m. to noon at the Jamestown Philomenian Library. He will bring along replicas of artifacts from the Baseball Hall of Fame and conduct a Q-and-A on a range of baseball topics. The workshop will consist of fiction and nonfi ction writing.
Poetry Outloud, an evening of poetry and performance, will be held at the Jamestown Arts Center on Thursday, July 14, beginning at 7 p.m. The free event is open to the public and will include Tom Chandler, R.I. Poet Laureate Emeritus; Mike Cellemme; Amber Johnson, national and Rhode Island state champion; Teresa Murray and Mary Wright.
Be true!
Call in your stuff to 829-2760 or 423-0383, or e-mail us at jtnw email@example.com. Thank you.

Judge Jones' comments help us understand why contrary to David's opinion, the ruling about ID being science was in fact essential to the ruling.
David Opderbeck <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: I'm sorry Ted -- though I think you're right that this wasn't an "activist" ruling, I think you're dead wrong about it being "conservative." It was not an "activist" ruling because the ultimate conclusion was in accordance with settled law. However, as we've discussed here on the list ad nauseum, it was entirely unnecessary to rule on what constitutes "science" under the governing law, and that part of the ruling was neither "conservative" nor paticularly adept in light of the larger debate about the history and philosophy of science.
On 2/27/06, Ted Davis <email@example.com> wrote: I entirely agree with Judge Jones' defense of the nature and scope of his
ruling, and I said so in my article in "Religion in the News." He ruled
*conservatively*, that is, according to existing precedents that are very
clear and not recent; he followed the case precisely as it was presented in
the courtroom, not based on what he brought to the case from the outside;
and he ruled on the very points he was asked to rule on by both sides, as he
stresses here. TDI makes noise about an "activist" judge, but they are
crying in their beer. They could have shaped this case far more than they
did, frankly, and they chose not to, all but pulling out 3 key
witnesses--Dembski, Meyer, and John Angus Campbell. I can tell you from the
horse's mouth, that the plaintiffs feared Campbell more than anyone else.
They regard him as a master rhetorician who could teach any lawyer a thing
or two, and they thought that his argument about free speech -- which is
precisely the right argument to make in defense of the school board policy,
mirroring the argument that the *defense* (ie, Darrow) made at Scopes in
1925 -- was potentially very damaging to their case. That argument was not
made, at least not that I can recall from the testimony actually given.
Rather, both sides stuck with the "ID is science/is not science" piece,
rather than going into highly important arguments about education in a
democracy, religion, free speech, and neutrality that might potentially have
influenced the judge's opinion.
For nearly a decade, I've cautioned my friends in the IDM about their loose
association with YECs; I've told them that the arguments they should be
making are about religous neutrality (as vs aggressive secularism) and the
first amendment, not about the truth or lack thereof of evolution; and that
they need to be a lot more generous and more accommodating to the "mushy
accommodationists" like me who do not believe (as Hodge did and Johnson
does) that "evolution" equates to "Darwinism," that is, to Darwin's own
metaphysics which denies divine providence. They have not taken any of my
advice. The trial verdict relates esp to points one and two. I have the
right in this case to say, quite loudly, "I told you so."

Dometic Redefines Ducted AC Systems for RVs
October 11, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Dometic Redefines Ducted AC Systems for RVs
The Dometic Group has introduced a new RV air conditioning system that combines a 15,000-BTU air compressor, residential-style air duct system and Comfort Control Center to create the most power-efficient AC system available for RV use.
According to Brad Sargent, vice president of marketing for Dometic USA, the QuietZone Ducted Air System results in the highest-performance air conditioner and the lowest power draw in the industry.
"Because the High Performance air conditioner (HP) is so powerful, cool-down time is much better, reaching the RVer's comfort zone faster" Sargent said in a release. "And once there, it continually makes quick adjustments to ensure the set temperature is maintained.
Vehicle manufacturers can choose a single-zone LCD thermostat or a comfort Control Center II multi-zone thermostat for precision control of their internal climate preferences.
Combined with the HP's three-speed blower and QuietZone's other components, the system delivers a 26% higher airflow while decreasing noise and vibration in comparision to previous generations. Contributing to this is the placement of the top-mount unit away from living spaces below.
"The HP's top-mount installation is extremely fast and easy with Molex 110-volt connectors, saving installation time and money," Sargent said. "We also provide expert application specialists for on-site design assistance and maximum efficiency in the production process — and we have access to the industry's only full-scale environmental test facilities to optimize overall performance and comfort.
For more information on the QuietZone, visit www.Dometic.com/Duotherm, or contact Dometic at (574) 294-2511.

I recently attended the Federal Depository Library Conference in Washington D.C. Among the many interesting topics discussed, one in particular caught my attention and got me thinking about the way my duty as a documents librarian and as a member of our Digital Scholarship Team overlaps: promoting access to and preserving born-digital government information.
Over the past decade the amount of government information online far outpaced the number of documents printed by the Government Printing Office (GPO) for distribution through the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) (Jacobs, 2014). The sheer volume of this information makes both providing access (at least through bibliographic control) and ensuring preservation extremely difficult. What's worse, much of this information is transitory and is lost when administrations change or Congressional committees disband.
One particularly interesting type of born-digital government information includes those digital documents that are created by federal executive agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture, but never reported to the GPO and thus not distributed through the FDLP. The Lost Docs Project is collecting a public listing of these fugitive documents, as they are known, and reporting them to the GPO for cataloging. A quick look at the tag cloud on the homepage of the Lost Docs Project site and one can easily surmise the importance of this endeavor for both researchers and the general public, as many of these documents concern issues in public health and the environment.
Beyond these born-digital documents there is a massive amount of government information on agency websites, at the federal, state, and local level. This information is even more vulnerable, as URLs change and sites are updated or taken down. Web harvesting is a well-known strategy to address the capture and preservation of this type of information. At the federal level, End of Term Crawls, first conducted by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), attempt to capture as many agency websites as possible. End of Term Crawls were also conducted in 2008 and 2012, through a collaborative effort by the Library of Congress, Internet Archive, California Digital Library, University of North Texas, and GPO. At the state level, similar initiatives are coordinated through Archive-It and partner institutions. Indiana University, an Archive-It partner since 2005, is currently archiving state and local government web sites.
Much of this may be old news, but as a new librarian with responsibilities in government information and digital scholarship, these fields appear to be natural extensions of each other. So much government information is born-digital and increasingly at risk of being lost. My hope is more government documents librarians reach out to their digital librarian colleagues, the chances are good that they care about the same issues.
