27-inch Core i7 iMac/2.93GHz full review
Ladies and gentlemen, the fastest Mac we've ever seen is currently sitting in the Macworld Lab. It's the 27-inch 2.93GHz quad core Core i7 iMac, equipped with a solid-state drive (SSD). This built-to-order (BTO) model posted the highest Speedmark 6 score of any iMac we've tested - for now.
The 27-inch 2.93GHz quad core Core i7 iMac with SSD isn't one of the four standard configurations Apple offers, and Macworld doesn't mouse-rate BTO models. To get the Core i7 CPU and SSD, you have to customize a 27-inch 2.8GHz quad core Core i5 iMac when ordering through the online Apple Store. Upgrading to the 2.93GHz Core i7 adds £160 to the £1,659 base price. Substituting a 256GB SSD for the hard drive adds another £480. So the total price of the iMac we tested (with 4GB of RAM) is £2,288.99 inc VAT.
We used our Speedmark 6 test suite to gauge the performance of the 2.93GHz quad core Core i7 iMac and to see how well it performs compared other current iMacs. Overall, the 2.93GHz quad core Core i7 iMac with an SSD is impressive, posting a Speedmark 6 score of 254, currently the highest Speedmark 6 score posted by any Mac. (We just received two of the three new Mac Pro models, and we'll test them and provide results soon. We think that the new Mac Pros will beat the Core i7 iMac, but the story will be the margin of difference.)
Compared to the standard configuration 27-inch 2.8GHz quad core Core i5 iMac with a 7200-rpm hard drive, the 2.93GHz quad core Core i7 iMac is 17 percent faster overall. We saw the most dramatic improvements in our Aperture, iMovie, iPhoto, and Unzip Archive tests, which weren't surprising since these tests tend to write files to disk, and the 2.93GHz quad core Core i7 iMac with its SSD provides a speed benefit.
Interestingly, the one test where the 2.8GHz quad core Core i5 iMac wins by a wide margin is in our HandBrake test. The 2.8GHz quad core Core i5 iMac was nearly three times faster than the 2.93GHz quad core Core i7 iMac. This result wasn't much of a surprise, though; as we've experienced while testing DVD ripping on the new iMacs, some iMacs (like the 2.93GHz quad core Core i7 iMac we tested) come with Hitachi-LG SuperDrive mechanisms that haveriplock, which slows down the SuperDrive during movie playback to reduce noise from the drive mechanism. Other new iMacs we tested came with Pioneer SuperDrive mechanisms that produced faster results. Apple doesn't specify what SuperDrive mechanism is being installed when you order your iMac.
We also compared the 2.93GHz quad core Core i7 iMac with another BTO iMac, the 27-inch 3.6GHz dual core Core i5 iMac (£2,039.00 with SSD instead of a hard drive). With both models using an SSD, we found the extra £249.99 for the 2.93GHz quad core Core i7 iMac gets an 11 percent boost over the 3.6GHz dual core Core i5 iMac. The Core i7 iMac showed big boosts in our Cinebench, MathematicaMark, and Compressor tests, where the software can take advantage of the additional cores provided by the Core i7.
Booting from the SSD also provides a benefit that really can't be measured by hand. The general snappiness of the SSD iMacs gave the impression of a faster machine. Windows, documents, and programs felt like they opened much quicker than when booting from a hard drive. Even starting up the iMac in our test configuration (we try to limit the items that launch at startup to only what's necessary) felt shorter, though it was too fast for use to time with a stopwatch.

A mom got two life sentences for killing her kids this week in what is simultaneously the best and worst news of the week. The worst, of course, because Kelli Murphy murdered her two children in cold blood. Two children are gone in an act that's completely senseless. But as the family of little Liam and Madigan Murphy said in a statement to the media, the jurors did their job here.
Kelli Murphy could have been convicted of reckless manslaughter. She could have gotten off with just parole. Instead, we were reminded this week by a Colorado court that children matter, that their lives have as much value as an adult's.
Murphy was instead found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of first-degree murder by a person in a position of trust. The mother who strangled her 9- and 6-year-old children so her soon-to-be ex-husband wouldn't get custody will spend the rest of her life in prison, the result of two consecutive life sentences handed down by the courts this week.
This can't erase the tragedy of two children being murdered by their own mother. But there's something to be said for justice here.
Two children are dead. For a mother to have the hubris to expect probation when she did the deed is unthinkable. I hate to bring out the "real mother" card here, but I'm going to. A real mother would be so angry at herself for such a crime that she'd want more punishment, not less.
That alone speaks to success in that courtroom.
And there's more. There's the fact that the sentence is indicative of the way a person will be treated for doing something so heinous to children. We don't brush it under the rug because, hey now, motherhood is tough and blah, blah, blah.
Kelli Murphy may have wanted the jury to care about her and how prison would affect her life, but the rights of her poor kids won out here. Two life sentences for this woman is just about right, don't you think?
What do you think of the sentence for Kelli Murphy?

BERLIN — Germany and France pressed Russian President Vladimir Putin to do more to calm the situation in Ukraine and make May 25 presidential elections there possible, with Chancellor Angela Merkel insisting Saturday that Putin must send "more signals of de-escalation."
Merkel described sovereignty referendums planned Sunday by pro-Russian insurgents in two troubled eastern Ukrainian regions as "illegal," while French President Francois Hollande said they "carry no weight."
The rebels are going ahead with the referendum despite Putin's call on Wednesday to delay the vote.
Merkel said she and Hollande agreed to "make clear that the Russian president must send more signals of de-escalation so that (presidential) elections can take place."
"There have been initial signs, but this must be strengthened so that the message gets through to eastern and southern parts of Ukraine that everyone wants fair and general presidential elections," she added.
"If that doesn't happen, it would contribute to a further destabilization of Ukraine," Merkel said, stressing that European leaders would then be ready to toughen sanctions.
"We have relations with Vladimir Putin; we are using them so that he can take into consideration what is at stake over these coming weeks in Ukraine," said Hollande, who met Merkel in her Stralsund constituency in northeastern Germany.
Merkel and Hollande called in a joint statement for a "national dialogue" between the Kiev government and representatives of all Ukrainian regions, which they said should be open to all who reject violence. Merkel said she'd like to see it start next week.
The European Union has imposed targeted sanctions on Russian officials but has held back so far on all-out economic sanctions, and Hollande stressed he hopes to avoid that escalation.
France has stuck to a 3-year-old deal to provide two warships to Russia, the first set for delivery in October. On Saturday, Hollande said that the contract "is being carried out ... for the moment it is not called into question."

Students Study Weather, Visit TV Station
March 4, 2010
In order to get an up-close look at weather patterns, three Wabash physics majors traveled with Teacher Education Professor Amy Gillan to Indianapolis to visit the television studios of NBC affiliate, WTHR.
Funded with a Know Indiana grant, the students in the College's Earth/Space Science class met with WTHR meteorologist Jude Redfield.
The class is focused on a project-based learning opportunity in collaboration with Purdue climate scientist Dev Niyogi, and will revise current 4-H manuals dealing with weather and climate.
"Our challenge is to integrate ocean literacy concepts and issues of global warming into the outdated project manuals," Professor Gillan said. "The class wanted to interview a meteorologist to achieve a better understanding of the ocean-climate connection in Midwest states."
Junior Thomas Warn, sophomore Zach Rohrbach, and freshman Derek Fritz were invited by Redfield to tour the WTHR studio and watch the live noon broadcast. Redfield spent the afternoon explaining to the students the computer models he uses to create his forecasts.
"He detailed how he interprets different data sources," said Gillan, who is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Teacher Education and a Lilly Teaching Fellow at Wabash.
"He urged the class to keep in contact with him as the semester progresses if we need additional expertise."

Since I have done a lot of this on AIX, my initial thought is to use the Linux version of nmon and nmon2rrd or nmon2web to generate web pages of performance graphs. Since I already know the tools, wrapping it up in scripts to run automatically would be really easy. My goal is to make it really easy to provide useful information to users without them having to constantly ask me. Thoughts? -- Matt It's not what I know that counts.

When reports surfaced of inappropriate questions being asked of incoming rookies at the Scouting Combine, the NFL responded. New York's attorney general wants more.
According to CNN, Eric Schneiderman sent a letter to Commissioner Roger Goodell seeking a clear commitment that players won't be subjected to discrimination based on sexual orientation.
"Equal protection under the law is an essential issue for employers, employees and prospective job applicants," Schneiderman wrote. "For that reason, I ask that the league clarify its position by issuing a public statement that any form of discrimination or harassment on the basis of sexual orientation by league teams or their employees or agents against potential recruits or players constitutes a violation of state, local and, in some cases, contractual law, and will not be tolerated."
Schneiderman is on the right track, but anyone can issue a strongly-worded statement containing comments that are fairly obvious. Real change will come only if, for example, the NFL discloses the results of the investigation into questions posed to Colorado tight end Nick Kasa (including "do you like girls?"), including any discipline imposed.
Beyond that, acceptance of gay players will occur only after the persons in positions of power with the teams, not the league, establish the appropriate tone. The owners, coaches, and General Managers need to say, unequivocally, that gay players are welcome on their teams, and that any discrimination or hostility in the workplace will not be tolerated.
Likewise, the NFL and the NFLPA should agree promptly to an expansion of the labor deal that permits significant punishment to be imposed on players who subject teammates known or suspected to be gay to physical or verbal intimidation or harassment.
If the NFL and its teams choose to make the creation of an appropriate atmosphere of acceptance a priority, the appropriate atmosphere will be created. Until that happens, the fact that no gay player has come out of the closet should surprise no one.

Tool opens iPhone, iPod Touch via web
Look, ma, no PC/Mac
iPhone hackers have released a tool that allows owners of firmware 1.1.1 iPhones and iPod Touches to open up their devices to third-party apps - all without the need for a host Mac or PC.
AppSnapp in action
The utility's called AppSnapp, and it's launched via the devices' Safari web browser. The code uses a known vulnerability with firmware 1.1.1, which it subsequently patches. Before doing so, it activates iPhones, jalbreaks both types of device to allow third-party apps to run, installs Installer, and allows the YouTube app to connect on non-AT&T iPhones.
What it won't do is unlock an AT&T-only iPhone to allow the handset to be used with other networks. For that, the nine hackers behind AppSnapp suggest downloading and running AnySim 1.1 after you've used AppSnapp.
We'd point out that AnySim 1.1 is designed for iPhones that have not yet been unlocked in any way, so shouldn't be run on firmware 1.0.2 handsets that have been previously unlocked.
Early reports suggest that AppSnapp does exactly what it claims, though the process may take a little time due to the number of users grabbing the code off the AppSnapp web site, jailbreakme.com.

Ole Miss and Arkansas are both looking to improve their Southeastern Conference standing and possibly play their way into a top-four seed and a double bye to the quarterfinals of the conference tournament next week in Atlanta.
The Rebels are tied for sixth in the league standings with LSU, Missouri and Texas A&M and would be the No. 7 seed if the season ended today. Ole Miss is 2-6 on the road in conference play, having lost five straight road games including a 71-60 loss at Texas A&M this past Saturday.
"We're not playing as well as I would have hoped," head coach Andy Kennedy said. "We have struggled in a number of different areas. When we put our finger in one hole, another one opens up, whether it's offensive inefficiency or our inability to rebound. We have really struggled, especially on the road, and that continued in our last outing against A&M.
"We have to come in understanding that there are two games left in the regular season, and there is still somewhat of a logjam in the middle of the pack. We're in the middle of that and we have to try to find a way to win some games and put ourselves in the best possible position heading into Atlanta."
Historically, Kennedy and Ole Miss have had success on the road at Arkansas. The Rebels have won four straight at Arkansas' Bud Walton Arena and have taken nine of their last 10 meetings with the Razorbacks.
"I would like to tell you that those prior four games would have some influence on our game Wednesday night, but unfortunately for us, they will not," Kennedy said. "It's a different set of circumstances, different players and different timing. Arkansas is playing as well as anybody in our league, having won five straight. They are playing with a great deal of confidence and a real sense of urgency that you would expect as they are closing in on trying to get into the NCAA Tournament and we know we will have our hands full."
Arkansas has won five straight games, including a 71-67 win at No. 15 Kentucky this past Thursday to complete the regular-season sweep of the Wildcats. The Razorbacks have moved into a tie with Tennessee for fourth in the league standings, but the Volunteers won the only head-to-head meeting and would be the No. 4 seed if the season ended today.
"It should be a great game and a great atmosphere," Arkansas head coach Mike Anderson said. "It's Senior Night for our players, so we're looking forward to that challenge against Ole Miss. Everyone is trying to jockey for position at this time of year. We're no different than Ole Miss and everybody else in our conference."

MVR, a manufacturer of high performance sustainable plastic resins, last week dedicated its new 90-million-pound-per-year recycled plastic resin manufacturing facility in Frankfort, Ky.
"We are pleased to call The Commonwealth of Kentucky and the City of Frankfort the newest home to our world-class manufacturing operations," said Ronald Whaley, president and chief executive officer of MVR. "We have been blown away by the outpouring of support we've received on all levels, from economic funding to the community's response to our employment opportunities, and we look forward to growing each one of those relationships in the many years to come."
"Kentucky is proud to welcome MVR, an environmentally friendly company, to its capital city," said Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear. "The creation of 360 new jobs and a more than $9.2 million investment will provide a significant boost to the economy, opening up hundreds of employment opportunities for the community."
"MVR has already begun its contribution to the Frankfort community in bringing hundreds of green jobs and we all look forward to seeing the trucks lined up to take sustainable resins made in our city to product manufacturers around the nation," Frankfort Mayor Gippy Graham added.
MVR makes sustainable plastic resins: the carbon footprint of an MVR resin is 70 percent less than that of a virgin resin, helping businesses create high-quality green products that are attractive to consumers.

Gustav Mahler meets Sigmund Freud in 'Mahler on the Couch'
The question really isn't why the conductor-composer Gustav Mahler had a therapy session with the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, in the summer of 1910 but what took him so bloody long. Mahler's celebrated musical output — turbulent song cycles and gargantuan symphonies — represents the ne plus ultra of Late Romanticism, and his works swirl with a neurosis as insistent as it is overpowering. By all accounts, the man was a handful himself: impassioned, ambitious, insecure, death-obsessed. Nor was he happy that his much younger wife, Alma, had recently started groping the up-and-coming architect Walter Gropius.
No one actually knows what Mahler and Freud talked about in their meeting, and since historical uncertainty is a boon to moviemakers (see: "Amadeus'' and "Immortal Beloved''), we have "Mahler on the Couch,'' a film written and directed by the father-son team of Percy and Felix Adlon. (Percy Adlon gave us "Sugarbaby'' and "Baghdad Café'' back in the 1980s.) It's an over-stylized and overwrought affair, and intentionally so — any other approach probably wouldn't play fair to the music or these tempestuous lives. But a little of it goes a long way, and fast.
Mahler is sympathetically played by Johannes Silberschneider as a poetic soul riddled by doubts, his grand artistic ideals undermined by the shabbiness of his wife's affair. He keeps canceling the appointment; Freud (Karl Markovics), who has seen it all before, practically has to nail his patient to the couch. The film uses the session as a gateway to sumptuous flashbacks detailing the couple's relationship; when we see scenes in which Mahler wasn't even present, Freud drily accuses the composer of making them up. (I guess that's one way to counter the "Alma Problem'' of the real Alma's notoriously dodgy memoirs; by introducing a "Mahler Problem.'')
The problem with "Mahler on the Couch,'' by contrast, is that it's really Alma's story, not Gustav's, and those framing sequences become a distraction. As portrayed alarmingly and well by Barbara Romaner, the character's not a great beauty but a seductive, destructive life force whose sexuality bursts the constraints of her time. She could be a Klimt painting sprung to life (not coincidentally, she probably had a thing with him, too). The film's sex scenes are frank, hotter than Mahler and some audience members might bear, and they imply that Alma was living all the passion that her husband could only put into his scores.
Because he wouldn't let her compose her own music? That's the movie's reductive spin, and there's historical evidence to support it. But "Mahler on the Couch'' doesn't let us hear Alma's compositions, so busy is the soundtrack with the husband's titanic soundscapes. Mahler's music gives weight to the onscreen drama but also undercuts it, ennobles the characters' emotions and mocks them as melodramatic sturm und drang. The Adlons are playing a tricky game here, and the only hint of their larger intentions may be the sardonic gleam in Freud's otherwise impassive face.
Taken in the right spirit, "Mahler on the Couch'' is overripe, sometimes enjoyably ridiculous Famous Lives nonsense, with walk-throughs by Gropius (Friedrich Mücke), Klimt (Manuel Witting), Bruno Walter (Michael Dangl), and other lights of the Vienna scene. But the questions it doesn't quite ask linger when the lights come up. What's a creative woman to do in a society where only men get to be the artists? What happens when she turns her own life into art?

The academic structure and environment of study abroad programs vary a great deal. As you research your options, it is important to determine which study abroad model best meets your needs. Your choice of academic setting will usually depend on the extent of immersion you are seeking. The following are the most common study abroad models:
Direct enrollment
Students are enrolled directly in an overseas institution and take courses from the host institution's regular curriculum. Therefore, courses are usually taken alongside students from the host country and taught in the host country's language. Students live with host families, in rented apartments or in residence halls with students from the host country or other international students. Direct enrollment is often a good option for students looking for an immersion experience and who have advanced language skills in the host country's language. The Marquette exchange programs and many of the affiliated programs are built on this model.
Island programs are programs in which American students study and live with other American or international students. These study abroad programs usually operate independently of any academic institution in the host country, and courses are usually taken in English, alongside other American students. Faculty may be from the United States or the host country. This model is a good option for students who want to study in a particular country but are not proficient in the language of that country and may prefer a U.S. classroom style. Housing is usually in residence halls with other American or international students. The John Felice Rome Center and Beijing Center are good examples of island programs.
Hybrid programs combine special courses for the visiting students with courses at the host institution, giving students the opportunity to take some courses with other international students and some courses with students from the host country. Students are housed with host families, in residence halls or in apartments. This model is a good option for students looking for a degree of immersion but who still seek some guidance and structure from a program. The Marquette Study Center in Madrid and Marquette Semester in Chile programs are built on this model.
Service learning programs integrate community-based activities with academic course work. Students, as a part of a course, engage in weekly organized service in the nonprofit sector of a community. The Marquette South Africa Service Learning Program and Casa de la Solidaridad program in El Salvador are international service learning programs.
Internship programs combine course work (usually two to three courses) with an internship for which credit is given. The Center for Education Abroad at Arcadia University (external approved program) offers several options for internships abroad, especially in the U.K.
Short-term study abroad programs usually take place during the summer term or sometimes during winter or spring breaks and range from two to 10 weeks. Typically, three to six credits can be earned during a short-term study abroad program.
Many short-term programs through Marquette are faculty-led programs directed and led in country. Such programs offer students the opportunity to participate in a guided intentional learning program that integrates curricular and co-curricular components over a short time period and for which students earn direct Marquette credits.

Unique choral experiences since 1982
Based in Sheffield, Massachusetts, Berkshire Choral International (BCI) was founded in 1982 as a not-for-profit educational institution with a unique purpose: to provide amateur singers with professional-level choral immersion experiences.
During weeklong singing experiences at culturally rich US and international locations, knowledgeable amateurs study, rehearse, and perform masterpieces of the choral repertoire under the direction of world-class conductors, with professional symphony orchestras. In-depth workshops and courses with our professional staff round out the educational experience.
Our goals are to enhance the skills of amateur choral singers and to promote a wider appreciation of choral singing and its tradition. To that end...
- We establish an environment in which singers, conductors, and other music professionals can immerse themselves and flourish as musicians
- We strive for quality performances that challenge the chorus, attract outstanding conductors, and develop an appreciative and loyal audience
- We build development opportunities for young music professionals
- We provide scholarship opportunities for college students
"We come together so that we can collectively create something of more lasting value and beauty than we could ever manage as individuals."
—Conductor Robert Shaw (1916–1999)
BCI is international
A typical BCI week attracts choristers from 25 to 30 US states and at least 5 countries. The diversity makes the BCI experience that much richer. More
BCI is an education
Our teaching faculty are career singers and musicians with advanced training and performance experience. If it's possible to leave BCI without learning something new, no one has done it yet.
BCI inspires conductors too
The experience of turning a diverse group of passionate amateurs into a tight-knit chorus in the space of a week is as invigorating for conductors—who often seek us out—as it is for our choristers. More

"Probably what's more important is what happens after we get it planted," Chip Nellinger of Blue Reef Agri-Marketing tells U.S. Farm Report's marketing roundtable. "Do we continue to get good rains, and does it stay, you know, average temperatures and not get hot, especially during pollination? So we're going to get the crop in the ground. However, it is the slowest planted pace in history for corn, and I think the weather to some extent is already putting a little premium in the new-crop corn market for corn. Even though we're not rallying sharply, I think that is giving us some weather premium in there." Going forward, that means selling is possible yet challenging. "The No. 1 problem last year was that it was hot and dry," says Tom Grisafi of Indiana Grain Company. "This year, it's cold and wet and farmers are complaining that they're flooded out or that they have snow up in Minnesota, I have Minnesota farmers calling me often and almost in tears. But the very thing they hoped we wouldn't have this year is a drought. So as far as a speculator, it creates opportunities. But we're at that real unique stage where we don't quite have the seed in the ground, so you're speculating on something that's not even planted. You could have the best hybrid in the world, but if it's sitting in a bag in a shed, it's not going to do real well. That's what the market's focused on this week." Also during this week's edition, Nellinger and Grisafi address how rising stocks could affect the market, why computers can be faulted for some early trading on reports and how to protect yourself against volatility.

This Is How Creative Wedding Ring Engravings Will Look Like In 2 Years Time | creative wedding ring engravings
By Wendy Page/VOW: Your Wedding. Your Way.
The canicule are continued gone back the bride's assurance arena and bells bandage were awash as a set — sometimes alike as a trio, with the groom's bells bandage included in the mix — and appearance choices were adequately limited. Today, the assurance arena and bride's and groom's bells bands are three altered entities, with a acutely bottomless best of style. As the amount of gold steadily rises, abounding new abstracts accept appear to light, and white metals (as adjoin to white gold) accept become the preference. The better trend appropriate now? Individuality. Your bells bandage is a absorption of who you are and of the adventure you acquaint as a couple.
Of course, abounding women still adopt a bandage with diamonds. Billie Jo Newman, administrator of business and communications at Frank Adams Jewelers, says bouncer rings are a new trend. "A lot of bodies are accomplishing one on anniversary side, the trend actuality adjoin vintage-looking rings, the accomplished abundant arena that lends itself to this style," she says. "It's not abundant looking." With this avant-garde adaptation of an admit (long gone), the rings are absolute of one another, alms versatility.
If your assurance arena is best out alone from the bells ring, conceivably because one is a ancestors antique and the added is new, it's important to aces commutual stones. "The design affection in your bells bandage should accompaniment the affection in your assurance ring," says Wendy S. Peluso, cast adumbrative at Glennpeter Jewelers Design Centre.
The aeon band, area the gem, usually a diamond, campaign all the way about the arena is added popular. Sapphires and rubies, like diamonds, are abiding and are acceptable choices if you appetite to absorb color. Be accurate with this style, though: Since the chunk go all the way around, the settings sitting on the basal may get damaged.
Channel rings are additionally popular, Peluso says. "The bandage can be any width, and the chunk run bottomward the 'channel' in the middle," she says. Accession advantage is to skip an assurance arena absolutely and opt instead for a wide, adorned design band. "It's practical, and fantastic," Newman says.
Another change she's noticed is women opting to abrasion their assurance arena on the larboard duke and the bells bandage on the right. While this isn't necessarily a appearance of bells band, it charge be taken into application so that your best is aces of a stand-alone band.
Brides who like an aspect of one arena and a altered aspect of accession ability adopt to go the custom-built route. Jason Stinson, a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) artisan at Glennpeter Jewelers Design Centre, helps brides bout the bandage to the assurance ring. "Very few bands are activity to bandage up design to design or accept the appropriate curve," Stinson says. "Plus, one person's abstraction of a bout may not be another's." With a thousand options to accept from, the custom artist will go through a archive with you to see what you like and don't like; he again creates a wax replica from which he can accomplish adjustments afore the bandage is accomplished and produced.
The bride-to-be's aftertaste is not all that needs to be contemplated. While men abrasion beneath adornment in general, abounding do abrasion a bells ring. Allotment a bandage that complements the bride's is important to consider, as is the groom's lifestyle. Men who assignment with their easily or comedy a lot of sports, for instance, should accept metals that are abiding and scratch-resistant.
"Most men don't appetite article that's too fancy," says Peluso. "They appetite article timeless, classic. One of our best-sellers is 6 millimeter, 14 karat white gold, glassy centermost part, aerial brightness ridge, with added of a sandblast finish. It's added forgiving."
Newman agrees that beneath can be added with men's bells bands. "Our best accepted is still the simple, archetypal band, in capricious widths," she says. "There ability be a matte finish, which seems beneath shiny. Maybe a little texture."
For men who adopt a beneath acceptable route, a deluge of another metals are accessible and in appearance these days. In accession to the archetypal chicken gold, white gold, and platinum, Peluso ticks off a account that includes palladium, tungsten carbide, cobalt, ceramic, titanium and seranite. "Nowadays some designers are application admirable with either chicken or white gold," she says. "(There are) actually 500 to 600 altered styles of men's bands."
Tungsten seems to be the best talked-about another adored metal, conceivably because it's boxy and about scratch-resistant. Atramentous bowl bands — "fairly new but communicable on," Peluso says — are additionally abiding and scratch-resistant, and lighter in weight than a tungsten band. Just as you couldn't resize a bowl vase, though, bowl bands cannot be resized.
Platinum is consistently on trend, and two-toned textured bands — atramentous bowl with tungsten overlay, for archetype — are added popular. And don't abatement gems in men's bells bands.Subtlety is key, though: A approach bandage with a few white or blush chunk can be beautiful and sophisticated. Just accumulate the gems even with the metal apparent to abstain damage.
"Same-sex couples assume to chase the all-embracing bells bandage trend in that they're affective abroad from sets and anniversary alone is allotment their own unique-style bells bands," says Peluso. "Regardless of their animal orientation, best couples are added apt to accept a appearance that apparel their alone personalities."
Engraving central the bandage is still popular. While best couples accept their brand additional the bells date engraved, others personalize with nicknames, a adage or bulletin that is allusive to them. This is, afterwards all, an announcement of the helpmate and groom's adulation for anniversary other.
"Every brace needs to adjudge what's appropriate for them, to appraise what their adventure is about," Newman says. It's not about the trend, "but about a bearings that's altered to the couple, as altered as their relationship, bearings and story. Accept what works for you to represent your marriage."

Patient discussion about time
Q. what are the chances for a one time epileptic seizure? I had an epileptic seizure a few years ago and after all the tests it appeared to be a one time seizure. I know having one indicates my tendency for this kind of seizures so should I be afraid now to do things that might bring it up again- like alcohol, drugs, being exposed to flashing lights or having lack of sleep? what are the chances of it to come back after 5 years? any help will be very appreciated....thanks!
A. After 5 years with no recurrence of seizures after a one time episode, tha chances of having another one are low, almost exact to the general population. I would not advise you to start heavily drinking alcohol and doing drugs, because these things can certainly have an effect, however you need not be afraid.
Q. i get headaces all the time what do i need to do?
A. Is this new? Are these headaches worsened after lying down? What side of the body are they?
Constant headache in young female may be migraine or pseudotumor cerebri, both have treatments that necessitate prescription by a doctor.

Q. my legs hurt all the time, what is wrong with them? they ach in the joints and sometimes I get burning needle point pain and the muscles feel like sandpaper
A. There can be a lot of reasons for leg or joint pain, and usually there are not specific problems you can deal with medically. Are you exercising too much? Sometimes stress fractures from running can cause the kind of pain you are describing. Either way you should see someone about this if it is bothering you, either an orthopedic surgeon or a neurologist.More discussions about time

Suspicious-package scare briefly shuts NYC subway station, item proves to be toy lantern
NEW YORK – A subway station near New York City's Times Square was briefly closed because of a suspicious-looking item. But the station has reopened after police determined it was just a toy lantern.
Police officers and dogs converged on the A, C and E lines' station at 42nd Street early Monday afternoon. Trains on those lines bypassed that station, and entrances were roped off.
Riders were allowed to return around 2:45 p.m.
Passengers who emerged from the station in the meantime said police dogs sniffed at trash cans as about 20 officers investigated.
The A, C and E station sits beneath the Port Authority Bus Terminal at Eighth Avenue. It's a block west of Times Square.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Give the Denver Nuggets credit for being realists.
They're not going to spend the next two months chasing the pipe dream of chewing up the San Antonio Spurs' eight-game cushion and winning the Western Conference's top spot in the playoff chase.
Instead of trying to do the impossible, the Nuggets have set their sights on the very realistic goal of passing up the Memphis Grizzlies for the fourth spot behind the Spurs, Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Clippers. Nuggets coach George Karl is the man responsible for this pragmatic approach. His team has won five straight games and is in a great groove right now.
But Karl knows that this is not the time for great (and generally supersized expectations). As Karl explained to Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post, focusing on the team directly in front of them is the best plan of action for his team:
The Nuggets' goal is singular and sincere. With 22 games left, they want to surpass Memphis in the standings and grab the fourth playoff seed in the Western Conference.
It's likely that Nuggets vs. Grizzlies will be the No. 4 vs. No. 5 matchup in the West's first round of the postseason, but home-court advantage is up for grabs.
After their 108-82 victory Sunday at Orlando, the fourth-place Grizzlies are 39-19.
"I think it's going to take at least 51 to 52 wins to get to No. 4," said coach George Karl, whose Nuggets are 38-22 heading into Monday's home game against Atlanta. "It might take more.
"But I'd probably take 52 and take our chances. And I'd like the tiebreaker with Memphis. I'd take 52 and the tiebreaker."
The Nuggets are aware of the Ides of March. Memphis comes to Denver for a March 15 matchup, the final regular-season meeting of the teams. Denver leads the season series 2-1.
The Nuggets, the NBA's third-youngest team, have only nine more road games. They have 13 left at home, where they are 25-3.
Twelve of their 22 remaining games are against current playoff teams, the toughest stretch coming when Denver hosts the Carmelo Anthony-led New York Knicks on March 13 and the Grizzlies two days later, followed by road games against the Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder on March 18 and 19.
"This team is not afraid to play the best teams. In fact, they like to play the best teams," said Karl, whose Nuggets knocked off the Thunder 105-103 in a Friday thriller at the Pepsi Center. "I think the team is understanding that the playoffs aren't that far away.
"Right now we're in a good place to make another step. We need to tighten our defense up and not have mental lapses and continue to grow."
This is a refreshing dose of sensibility at a time of year when players, coaches, teams and their fans are big on making bold proclamations about what they have in store for the final weeks of the regular season and into the playoffs.
The Nuggets have figured out exactly who and what they are and play like it on a nightly basis. If they catch you at their home, the Pepsi Center, they'll run you out of the building.
So it should surprise no one that Karl has his team locked in on earning home-court advantage for a first-round series.
Their prospects in that first-round series between the No. 4 and No. 5 seed changes dramatically if they are have (or don't have) possession of home court.

MEDFORD, Mass. - Tufts University sophomore Meredith Cronin picked up three individual wins to lead the Jumbos to victory over visiting MIT, 164-136, in a non-conference women's swimming and diving dual meet on Saturday afternoon. The Engineers, ranked No. 20 nationally, fell to 6-3, while Tufts improved to 4-2.
Tech was led by senior co-captain Sasha Brophy, who was a part of both of the Engineers' victorious relay teams and added an individual triumph in the 200-yard freestyle. Brophy anchored both the 400-yard medley relay team and the 200-yard freestyle relay team, winning the medley event along with Amy Jacobi, Ellie Souganidis and Jen Chao (4:12.11) and the freestyle event with Nicole O'Keeffe, Ashley Pinchinat and Sarah King (1:41.96). In addition, the native of Cupertino, Calif., swam the 200-yard freestyle in 1:58.70 to garner maximum points.
Junior Kristen Felch was MIT's other key contributor, finishing first in the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 2:18.55 before grabbing the runner-up spot in the 100-yard butterfly by clocking in at 1:03.41, just 0.06 seconds behind teammate and event-winner Souganidis.
Brophy's fellow senior co-captain, diver Doria Holbrook, earned the top score on the one-meter board with a tally of 304.73 points, but was edged out on the three-meter board by Tufts' Katie Swett. Holbrook scored a respectable 315.30, but Swett took top honors with a mark of 327.75.
The Engineers will conclude their dual meet schedule on Saturday, Feb. 2, when they will host New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) power Amherst College at 1:00 p.m. Tufts will also compete on Saturday at 1:00 p.m., as it will be on the road at Wheaton College with fellow NESCAC foe Bates College.

I do wish Backroads had been able to continue but -- and I discussed this with Lloyd several times -- I think something was wrong there, from the perspective of business structure. Backroads sold a large number of CDs, and their markup was pretty high (meaning they made a large profit on each CD sold) and yet there were nearly constant cash flow problems. I'm not giving away anything secret -- it was a matter of public record that Backroads filed bankruptcy twice. I'm not saying "good riddance," just saying that it seemed inevitable to me that Backroads would eventually have to cease. I had hoped that the sale of the business would solve the cash flow issues, but it seems that wider changes in the music business this past several years, on top of inherent problems in the business model of Backroads (my own opinion is that operating overhead was too high) were just too much to overcome even with the new ownership.
Malcolm, with the exchange rate the way it is, you an order your CDs from the USA for less than you'd pay for a couple of pints at the corner pub!

St. Bonaventure University is partnering with Special Olympics New York to host a skill-development clinic for Special Olympics athletes on Saturday, April 12, and a Special Olympics Unified Competition on Thursday, April 24.
Special Olympics New York focuses on providing year-round sports training and competitions in a variety of Olympics-style sports for all children and adults with intellectual disabilities.
Special Olympics Western Region Teams will visit campus from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on April 12. The event will begin with a mini-opening ceremony, followed by a series of basketball skill stations run by members of SBU's men's and women's basketball teams. Special Olympics athletes will have the opportunity to move to each station and work with St. Bonaventure student-athletes.
During the afternoon, SBU and Special Olympics athletes will play on unified teams, followed by a basketball exhibition in the Reilly Center Arena. Each athlete will receive a certificate of completion.
"Our athletic program is open to basically anything we ask," said Dr. Paula Scraba, associate professor of physical education at the university. "Our men's and women's basketball players are committed to this program."
Two sections of Scraba's senior forum class, Clare 401 – 16 and 17, have participated in an intensive Special Olympics Event Management Training Program to coordinate the Unified Competition from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 24.
Special Olympics offers coaching certification in each of its offered sports. The first, a general session, includes protective-behavior workshops. The second part includes a set of coaching guidelines for each skilled area of the sport.
"They have been trained to run events exactly as they're supposed to," Scraba said.
Approximately 150 athletes of all abilities from grades 4 to 7 from local schools will visit campus for a series of unified student games, opening and closing ceremonies, and the 2014 Law Enforcement Torch Run. This year, the run will end at the Reilly Center in honor of fallen hero Trooper Ross M. Riley of Allegany, who was killed in November 2013 while on duty.
SBU will host the unified competition this month for the second year in a row, but Scraba hopes to continue and expand the event in years to come. She also hopes to include swimming in next year's skills-development clinic.
"This small event has turned into a big community that's beginning to include more students and schools," she said. "We are promoting sports as a vehicle to increase peer relationships in school."
Special Olympics New York is the largest Special Olympics program in North America and the sixth largest in the world.
On April 2, Scraba and Annette Lynch, senior manager of coaching excellence and sports education for Special Olympics New York, presented at the 2014 American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance National Convention and Expo in St. Louis, Mo.
"Bonaventure's program has been picked to present at a national level to say 'This is what you could be doing in your back yard,'" she said.
Special Olympics New York has 64,659 athletes across the state compete and train in Olympic-style sports throughout the year, always at no cost to them or their families.
Members of the community are invited to volunteer for both events. Contact Dr. Paula Scraba at email@example.com or (716) 375–2444.
About the University: The nation's first Franciscan university, St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them.

text: Hi, All: I know lots experts here in this forum...so I am just keep posting and hope somebody can give a response :-) Here is a non-technical question but question regarding a strategy to manage growing cluster(s), it is about cluster flexibility vs. design specificity. Myself, prefer every cluster is specifically designed with "rooted" firmware and even hardware design, and benchmarked with specific application. That is my understanding of the cluster for supercomputing in scientific community. But, in real life, "cluster" diverges from "supercomputing", in order to expand the cluster without being tangled by the product provider, and, in order to managing a evolving cluster, we have to allow certain/great flexibility for the cluster. in my mind, that is not really a supercomputing or "high performance computing" for computing efficiency ((e.g. possible conflicts of mixtures of hardwares within the cluster?) Or, I am just plain wrong. Any expert can clarify the confusion? How can we independently (not being tangled by specific vendor) expand and keep evolving the cluster but without sacrificing the computing efficiency? Or, I just worry too much? Normally, if we mix different hardwares together (like traditional beowulf cluster), how bad it could be to affect the specifically designed cluster? Thanks!!
