Sandia Shows Off Prototype of Its Impeller Cooler

A white paper by Sandia National Laboratories caught the attention of the media last year with big claims for high performance cooling. The researchers had claimed to invent a new type of heatsink based on a impeller design that was allegedly 30% more efficient at heat transfer while being smaller and quieter than traditional air coolers.
Dubbed the Sandia Cooler, the team has come up with an updated prototype that is nearly ready to come to market. Shown off in a recent video, the cooler is a small heatsink based on three relatively simple parts. A stationary disk acts as the base and area that comes into contact with the Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) of a CPU. Then, a spinning array of curved fins resembling an impeller design is spun up by a small motor mounted in the center of the cooler.
During an industry day, they reportedly signed two license option agreements with two companies to bring the product to market in the areas of solid state lighting (LEDS, et al) and computer hardware cooling, implying that it is getting closer to a final product that it was last year.
Interestingly, the cooler uses an "hydrodynamic air bearing" such that the spinning part of the cooler is spun up to 2,000+ RPM such that the top part separates from the bottom stationary part and rides (they use the analogy of a car hydroplaning) on a very thin layer of air. (Update: as KngRider noted, there is still some friction from the motor spinning the upper part of the cooler, however.) That thin layer of air is what facilitates heat transference from the stationary part to the spinning fins. It does raise questions of efficiency, however. How a layer of air is more efficient than thermal interface material, for example. Reportedly, the air bearing is not an issue that will impact cooling performance but it is a difficult concept to grasp considering TIM and metal-to-metal contact has always been touted as the best cooling situation.
Sandia explains that cool air is drawn into the center of the impeller as heated air is forced outwards through the spinning fins, which reportedly enables efficient heat transfer. In the video, they demonstrate that it is capable of being extremely quiet (nearly silent) despite spinning at an extremely fast rate – the noise in the first part of the video is due to the prototype motor that is not covered. They claim that the final design will use a brush-less motor that will be much quieter.
It's an intriguing design because of its simplicity and form factor. It is reportedly able to cool more efficiently than some of the best air coolers on the market, which use such techniques as heatpipes that come into direct contact with the CPU IHS, larger fin arrays, and multiple fans. Compared to those coolers, the Sandia prototype is much smaller and simpler in its construction.
The company has further released a white paper (PDF) and has an area of its website dedicated to more information on the Sandia cooler. While I cannot vet the fluid dynamics they detail, it certainly looks good on paper. I'm excited to see this come to market and whether or not it will live up to its promise of more efficient (and quiet!) cooling. It could be an important asset in cooling computer hardware in everything from desktops to server rooms. Also, it might just be the advancement that air coolers have been looking for as far as the next jump in performance – more than simply adding additional heatpipes or fins (and dealing with weight, size, and diminishing returns as a result) can do alone.
I'll say that I'm skeptically optimistic on this one, but I do hope that it's the real deal. What do you think of the impeller cooler? Does it appear promising?
Video News
Very very interesting indeed. I had a similar idea to this but it involved a standard 120mm fan that conducted heat. If it can truly be quiet then this is a massive step in cooling.
I wouldn't stick my finger in a computer with that as a heatsink. My water cooling does fine...
I remember Msi had shown off a chip-set cooler which was much more interesting few years back. I would start when the chip was hot enough to push hot gasses to propel the fan.
hmm, so it didn't need to run on electricity? That sounds neat, it would sorta be self-cooling :).
yes, it was a very interesting concept which never reached the market. it was displayed by MSI at CeBIT of year 2008. and I found a link to the coverage page: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/CEBIT-MSI-PASSIVE-FAN,4985.html
You guys remember this old penny arcade comic featuring Romero?
I'd like to say the same thing to these guys. Stop blowing hot air up my asshole and start blowing it out of my computer. No device, no weiner, as it were. In stock at newegg or STFU.
Nice...Its not like they are pulling this out of no where. They obviously have a functioning prototype and people interested in the technology. If they want to show off an innovative, unreleased product or concept, then that is great! It may encourage or inspire others to design new cooling methods. Not to mention it gives me something to read/watch between classes. By the way, thanks for putting this up, Tim!
I know, but last year they showed off the same damn thing. I got all excited, and this year it's more talk. It's becoming a thing in the tech industry and I'm sick of it. OLEDs have been a year away for 8 years now, SSD were supposed to replace hard drives how long ago? How about non-volatile RAM? Quantum computers? 10gbit consumer Ethernet? New wifi standard? Native Usb3 without third party hacks? External pic-e? Memristors?
I could go on forever. My point stands. These people ALL need to STFU until they're ready to deliver. Shit or get off the pot.
New tech doesn't fall from the sky. I get excited from seeing what people are coming up with, whether it comes out in a year or five or never. If it doesn't come to fruition in a year you would just rather not hear about it? If this turns out to be a viable cooler then that's awesome, but I wouldn't be surprised if it took at least another 2 years before it can be purchased from Newegg. Watching new tech come to life is half the fun...but maybe that's just me.
Hrm issue that i see with being used for cpu cooling is they only have it mounted 1 way where as it would have to mounted vertically to work with a majority of cpu's the concept if its as good as they say could lead to much more efficient coolers.
So I guess it would have to lie flat so to be able to hydroplane without separating from the base. I prefer test-benches and cases where the mobo lies flat, so this would not be an issue for me; most people, though, have traditional cases with vertically oriented mobos. I hope my understanding is wrong and that it can be used in any orientation.
I'm not entirely sure how, but iirc the creator has stated that it will work vertically, but at angles greater than 90-degrees it might lose efficiency.
Thanks Tim for the clarification. Can't imagine how that is possible, but I will take the creator's word for it.
If I were designing this for vertical usage I'd put the rotational assembly on a bearing and have a spring pushing it against the base. The spring tension would have to be adjusted to give about the same force as if it were laying flat (essentially just the force would equal its weight).
The only problem with this is that you'd have to adjust the tension depending on the angle it was used at, with upside down requiring twice the force as using it vertically.
never work in a system.
it would drop off as soon as you put your case up the right

Canada needs quick team-building to defend world under-18 hockey goldNHL.com @NHLdotcom
The key to winning for Canada at the world under-18 hockey championships is quick team-building, and that's why coach Mike Johnston took his players to the Minnesota Twins baseball season-opener this week.
"The Canadian teams improves as it goes along," he said. "All the other countries have played together all year at tournaments, but we have to get together right away."
The Canadians go in as defending champions when the annual IIHF under-18 tournament begins Thursday in Fargo and Moorhead, N.D. They were in Minneapolis this week to play an exhibition game and do a little bonding, including a trip to the ballpark.
The team is made up mostly of players whose junior clubs either didn't make the playoffs or were knocked out in the first round. There are 12 from the Ontario Hockey League, eight from the Western Hockey League, one from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and one, defenceman Dylan Olsen, from the Alberta Junior Hockey League.
"Off-ice, you want them to get to know each other," Johnston added. "On-ice, we try to have structure in practices, to have a very specific game plan, one forecheck for example, that they can learn well."
In a pre-tournament game Tuesday, Canada beat Slovakia 5-2.
In round-robin play, Canada opens against Germany on Thursday, then faces Switzerland on Saturday, the Czech Republic on April 13 and Sweden the following day. Single-game knockout play begins April 17.
It is a situation similar to the men's IIHF world championships, where players are assembled mainly from NHL non-playoff squads, but a difference is that none of these players turn down Hockey Canada's call so they can rest up for the summer.
"I can't wait for it to begin," said John McFarland, a forward picked first overall by the Sudbury Wolves in last year's OHL draft. "It's sad to leave your (club) team, but it's a great feeling to come here."
Johnston said his team doesn't have a clear superstar, like a Sidney Crosby, but offers "depth and balance."
And they are not all strangers.
Nine players were on Canada's team at the other, non-official under-18 championship - the Ivan Hlinka tournament held each August in the Czech Republic, where Canada is also defending champion.
Players from that squad who are back are goaltender Bryce O'Hagen of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, defencemen Brayden McNabb of the Kootenay Ice, Simon Despres of the Saint John Sea Dogs, Stefan Elliot of the Saskatoon Blades and Taylor Doherty of the Kingston Frontenacs and forwards Ryan O'Reilly of the Erie Otters, Zach Kassian of the Peterborough Petes, Garrett Mitchell of the Regina Pats and Cody Eakin of the Swift Current Broncos.
Others have played together at under-16 and under-17 events, including McFarland, who led this year's U17 tournament in Port Alberni, B.C., for Team Ontario with eight goals and 12 points.
Despres, a highly rated prospect, is the lone Quebec player on the team, but fits right in.
"I know half the guys and I'm fluent in English, so I don't feel excluded," said Despres, a native of Laval, Que. "I played in the under-18 in August.
"I'm a bit disappointed my team didn't get through the first round, but this is a great opportunity to represent my country."
And doing well at this tournament may also count in a player's favour when a team is chosen for next year's world junior championship.
"That's one of the strengths," said Despres."You want to show what you can do here - that you can play when it counts and lift your level of play higher."
An advantage will be playing on the NHL-size ice surface, but Johnston said that also makes the host Americans that much more dangerous.
Their squad comes from USA Hockey's development team, which trains together all year.
"The Swedes are supposed to have one of the most talented teams, like they did at the world juniors," said Johnston. "Russia are supposed to have a lot of talented players, but they're always a bit of an unknown at these tournaments."
Canada beat Finland 6-5 in an exhibition game this week, with Michael Zador of the Oshawa Generals in goal, and will get a chance to scout other teams' pre-tournament games.
But their main concern is getting their own game together on short notice.
"We're here to win and nothing else," added Despres. "Only the gold, not second."
Others on the team are defencemen Erik Gudbranson of Kingston and Calvin de Haan of Oshawa; and forwards Michael Fine of Sault Ste. Marie, Brett Connolly of the Price George Cougars, Byron Froese of the Everett Silvertips, Landon Ferraro of the Red Deer Rebels, Joey Hishon of the Owen Sound Attack, Curtis Hamilton of Saskatoon, Kyle Clifford of the Barrie Colts and Ethan Werek of Kingston.
Ferraro is the son of former NHL forward and current TV broadcaster Ray Ferraro.

Officials in Meridian are talking about the results of a seismic study on one of this city's oldest buildings.
The study on the Threefoot Building was commissioned early last year.
According to Mayor Cheri Barry the overall results are mixed, leaving the future of the city's only skyscraper in limbo.
Paid for with grant money from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, the seismic study reveals that the Threefoot foundation is sound. The concern now is the portion of the building that's above ground.
Barry says weather conditions are the building's worst enemy right now. Broken windows and water seeping between the building's bricks and main structure are just two trouble spots.
"My concern is the facade, the mold, the asbestos, the weathering by the elements and the building as a whole," said Barry.
Barry says prior to her taking office, it cost the previous administration more than $100,000 just to put blue covers over a portion of the outside of the building to preserve it. Given this fact, and the fact that the building has more than 15 floors, she estimates that it will cost well over $1 million just to board up the building.
To slow deterioration, each month the city pays for insurance and utilities for the building. Right now Mayor Barry says the city is looking for a private investor to restore it and get it back on the tax roll.
"We would love for a private investor or entrepreneur to come in and either purchase or for the city to give the building to them," Barry said. "If we could turn that building into a shopping mall or a school, or a hospital or a McDonald's home. There are so many wonderful things that could happen to that old building, but the time clock is ticking in my opinion."
The Threefoot Building opened in 1929. It was designated an historic building in 1979. The Threefoot was closed 2000 due to deterioration and upper floor vacancies. In 2010, it was named one of America's most endangered historic places by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Much confusion has arisen in policy debates in India about whether or not growth has helped the poor; if yes, how much and over which time period; and whether growth is leaving certain social and religious groups behind. There remains deep skepticism on the part of NGOs and journalists that growth has been good for groups that were disadvantaged over long periods of time in the past.
Arvind Panagariya and I decided to investigate these claims – see here and here. We ask simple questions relating to the evolution of poverty in the post-reform era in India. How have poverty levels changed over the last few decades? We scrutinize changes across 6 different dimensions: (1) over time, (2) across states, (3) across rural and urban regions, (4) across social groups, (5) across religious groups, and (6) using different poverty lines. We find no basis whatsoever for claims that growth in India has left disadvantaged communities behind.
Poverty in India has declined between 1993-94 and 2009-10 along each one of the 6 dimensions. In fact, poverty fell for each social group (Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Caste) and each religious group (Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Others), in every state, in rural areas and in urban areas. The reduction in poverty has been accomplished alongside accelerating growth rates between 2004-05 and 2009-10.
Importantly, and returning to the main point of contention, poverty reduction between 2004-05 and 2009-10 was larger for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes than other caste groups. Thus, the gap in poverty rates between the socially disadvantaged and upper caste groups has narrowed over time. This pattern provides clear evidence to refute the claim that reforms and growth have failed to help the socially disadvantaged or that they are leaving these groups behind. A continuation of this trend, helped along by further reforms and higher growth rates, would help eliminate the difference in poverty rates between the disadvantaged and the privileged.
Inter-state comparisons reveal that states with large SC and ST populations face a more uphill task with regards to combating poverty. The point is most forcefully brought out by a comparison of Punjab and Kerala. The two states have very similar poverty rates by social groups in 2009-10. But because the poverty rates for the SC are higher than those for non-SC in both states, and because the SC account for a much larger proportion of its population, the aggregate poverty rate in Punjab turns out to be significantly higher.
Religious groups replicate the broad pattern seen in the context of poverty by social groups. Poverty has fallen in every single state between 1993-94 and 2009-10 for Hindus as well as Muslims though the change is not always monotonic. While the level of poverty in 2009-10 is higher for Muslims than Hindus in the majority of the states, the reverse is true in Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka. An anomaly is the marginal increase in the poverty rate from 2004-05 to 2009-10 in Bihar for Hindus and in Gujarat for Muslims, although these unexpected trends were reversed in 2011-12 – see here.
Finally, to the extent that a relationship exists between inequality and poverty, it suggests that more unequal states enjoy lower levels of poverty. Kerala offers the most dramatic example in this respect. It has had one of the highest Gini coefficients in rural as well as urban areas and also one of the lowest poverty ratios in both regions.
There are those who are poor and those who live in extreme poverty – the extent of poverty matters. This is important, especially with regard to debates about redistribution, and the aim should be to delve deeper into these and other issues in the future. The hope behind this and other on-going research is that by providing poverty estimates for various time periods, social and religious groups, states, urban and rural areas, future policy debates will be based on fact.
wouldn't these conclusions
wouldn't these conclusions change at least for low-income groups in urban areas if realistic poverty lines were used (i.e. those that made allowance for differences in the costs of non-food needs and actually included all non-food needs)
Dear David - thank you for
Dear David - thank you for your comment and apologies for the tardy reply. In our paper, we devote an entire section to the controversies regarding poverty lines. The Tendulkar poverty line basket does take into account expenditures on food and non-food (education, health etc) items, and in fact, we compute the corresponding quantities of all items that would closely correspond to the poverty line. I do hope that you will find the paper of interest and pleased that these important issues continue to be hotly debated.
It's indeed a good report on
It's indeed a good report on which policymakers should debate. But when we talk beyond statistics real picture is that India is widely exposed to economic inequality. No doubt there is a growth but at high expense.
A rosy picture of development
A rosy picture of development of life of Schduled Casts (SC) in India is given in the report. Statistics and figures veil the ground reality. Majority of SC population is still below the poverty line. Having developed a primary school in a village in Bankura district, and being aware of villagers problems, it can be stated India's economic development has not trickled down to all in villages.However conditions in some areas are improving on account of socio-economic development program intervention.
Thank you for your comment.
Thank you for your comment. In the paper I refer to, we provide unbiased statistics describing how poverty in India has changed over time, and find that religious and social communities have seen big improvements associated with economic growth. While this does not describe conditions in every location, it does indicate that, on average, growth has been good for many marginalized communities in the country. Although the fact remains that the country still has a very long way to go with regards to poverty reduction – however, in some aspects it might be headed in the right direction.
Thank you Rutvij for your
Thank you Rutvij for your comment, and my apologies on the tardy reply. Inequality is indeed an important issue, no doubt. In fact, we did not want to do this topic injustice by giving it only a cursory glance and thus the focus is mainly on understanding the impact of growth on poverty. I hope very much that research on the impact of growth on inequality in India, disaggregated by social and religious groups, will be forthoming in the near future.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am lucky enough to participate in collection enhancing fieldwork. One place I have been to several times over the last year is Woodeaton Quarry near Oxford.
A small part of the quarry
The quarry is disused and is a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) as it contains one of the best exposures of upper Bathonian (about 160-million-year-old) rocks in the UK. Because of this the site is of great palaeontological interest. The rocks represent a marine or marginal marine environment.
Many different fossils have been found there in the past, including shark teeth, brachiopods and dinosaurs! Over the next few years the quarry is due to be filled in, but part of the Bathonian rocks will remain exposed. Therefore it is important we take samples of the different rock layers and try to understand the geology better.
A team of Museum scientists and curators went to the quarry over a period of a couple of months to take lots of pictures, determine the geology and how each rock level changes, and to plan for a week long expedition to recover lots of fossils.
Myself and Museum scientist Steve Stukins, having a closer look at the rock.
In June this year our team went to the quarry for a week to collect bulk samples (large bags of rock and sediment) to bring back to the Museum, sieve, wash away all the rock and have a closer look for fossils. Most of the fossils are tiny and need to be looked at under a microscope.
We had people from different disciplines looking for microfossils, pollen, small vertebrates and invertebrates. Unfortunately, on this occasion we did not find any large vertebrates but we certainly have lots of small and microscopic fossils!
Myself and PhD student Simon Wills loading the van full of bulk samples
The infomation we find out will be given to Natural England so they can make infomation boards about the site. Several scientists connected with the Museum will publish results to help others in understanding this time period better. The fossils we find will form an important part of our palaeontology collections for scientists to use in the future and maybe if we are lucky we might even find a new species!
As the bulk samples are processed and we start identifying what we have recovered I will write another post to update everyone on our findings.

R. Kelly is ready to deliver the goods. After claiming last December that he would be adding 32 more chapters to his best-selling operatic R&B saga "Trapped In The Closest," the soul superstar recently revealed that he is ready for his return to the lighthearted musical.
According to the Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and producer, the re-up serves as a dedication to his loyal supporters.
"I'm so glad to know there are a lot of fans still waiting to find out what the package is, and I'm coming, you guys," he told MTV. "In four weeks, I just did 30 chapters of 'Trapped in the Closet' and I'm proud of it; I'm very excited about it because it took on a life of its own. It took me over."
The original first five chapters of "Trapped In The Closet" were released in 2005 on the artist's TP.3 Reloaded album. But the infamous soap opera, which detailed tales of infidelity, drama, deceit, romance and comedy, reached epic levels of popularity and spoofing when Kelly transformed the story into a video series.
SEE ALSO: R. Kelly Unlocks The Next Chapter Of "Trapped In The Closet"
In 2007 he released a best-selling DVD entitled Trapped in the Closet that featured twelve chapters, including the original five. In March, Kelly said he would drop 22 new videos to go along with the series. Just as he did with his 2007 version of the Trapped in the Closet DVD, chapters from the new series will premiere on the Independent Film Channel (IFC) later this year.
The saga continues.

House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo (D-Winthrop) has represented the 19th Suffolk District, including the Town of the Winthrop and a portion of the City of Revere, in the Massachusetts House of Representatives since 1991. A graduate of the Boston Latin School, Speaker DeLeo holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Northeastern University and a Juris Doctor from Suffolk University Law School. He became Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives in January, 2009.
This year, Speaker DeLeo led the Legislature in passing a consensus-driven gun safety law that closes existing loopholes, creates a sustainable framework to stop gun trafficking and establishes best practices for school safety. The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence has noted that the legislation is among the strongest in the nation, including an important set of provisions existing in no other state. Under his leadership, the Legislature also passed updated domestic violence legislation which creates new criminal offenses and elevated penalties, boosts prevention efforts and seeks to empower victims.
Since becoming Speaker, DeLeo has spearheaded two economic development packages which focus on improving the Massachusetts economy through comprehensive strategies. He has been lauded for his effective and creative approach to job creation which leverages the strengths of diverse sectors to bolster the Commonwealth's economy in its entirety and address regional inequalities. A February 2014 Boston Globe article praised Speaker DeLeo as "one of the biggest champions of our innovation economy" and described him as "knowledgeable and fluent in getting things done, what the innovation economy needs." These efforts underscore the Speaker's work on the transportation finance bill which addresses long-standing issues through responsible and progressive investments in the Commonwealth's transportation system.
During his long service in the House, Speaker DeLeo has been a fierce advocate for those with disabilities, playing a key role in the evolution of disability services for children and adults. Speaker DeLeo led the initiative to remove the 'R-word' from the Massachusetts General Laws and was instrumental in establishing the autism insurance bill (ARICA). He has also advanced legislation related to special education law, transition assistance for students, family support including respite care and funding for adult services.
Under Speaker DeLeo's leadership, the Massachusetts House has worked to improve services for the state's veterans and military personnel, passing the VALOR ACT I and II in 2012 and 2014. The legislation provides increased property tax relief and enhances employment, educational and health care support services for these individuals and their families.
Previously, Speaker DeLeo brought nationally-heralded legislation that cut health care costs for cities and towns in Massachusetts. The same session, he initiated far-reaching judiciary reorganization legislation in concert with the chief justice of the Supreme Judicial Court.
Prior to his tenure on Beacon Hill, Speaker DeLeo served on the Town of Winthrop's Board of Selectmen. He has been a fierce advocate for his constituents throughout his years in office, but has shown a particularly strong support for elders. In that spirit, Winthrop's Council on Aging coordinated with the community to rededicate the Winthrop Senior Center in honor of Speaker DeLeo, renaming it the "Bob DeLeo Senior Center." Speaker DeLeo's priorities continue to include job creation, strong fiscal management and improving the safety of Massachusetts' residents and communities.

(Reuters) - The financier Allen Stanford on Thursday lost his bid for a new trial, 16 days after being convicted for running an estimated $7 billion Ponzi scheme.
District Judge David Hittner in Houston turned down Stanford's request for a new trial in a brief order, without explaining his reasons.
Stanford, who turns 62 on Saturday, was convicted on March 6 by a Houston federal jury on 13 of 14 counts related to what prosecutors called the sale of bogus certificates of deposit from his Antigua-based Stanford International Bank Ltd.
The decision came one day after Stanford's lawyers said their client had been deprived of his Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial.
Among the reasons they cited was a lack of time to prepare a defense, extensive prejudicial pretrial publicity, and the potential that messages sent by reporters from the courtroom via Twitter might have reached jurors during the six-week trial.
Ali Fazel, a lawyer for Stanford, in an interview declined to comment specifically on Hittner's order, but said: "Motions for new trials are filed for many reasons, including making sure we articulate everything so that in an appeal, the appellate court would have a complete record."
Stanford is being held at a Houston federal detention center following his conviction on charges of fraud, conspiracy and obstruction of a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigation.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on June 14, and could spend the rest of his life in prison. The jury also found that federal authorities should try to seize $330 million of frozen funds that Stanford stashed in 29 foreign bank accounts.
The case is U.S. v. Stanford, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, No. 09-cr-00342.

German car maker Volkswagen AG has powered up a giant 9.5 megawatt solar system that will provide about 12.5 percent of the electricity used at its Chattanooga, Tennessee, manufacturing plant.
The solar park is designed to produce 13.1 gigawatt hours of electricity per year, equivalent to the energy consumed annually by about 1,200 homes in the area, Volkswagen said on Wednesday.
Continue Reading Below
The solar park occupies 33 acres, or half of the 66-acre land parcel adjacent to the VW plant. It contains 33,600 solar modules from Chinese solar power manufacturer JA Solar Holdings Co Ltd, VW said.
VW said the solar park, which came online Wednesday, produces enough power to meet 12.5 percent of its manufacturing plant's electricity during full production and 100 percent during non-production periods.
VW said the plant employs more than 3,000 people and manufactures the Volkswagen Passat sedan.
VW will consume 100 percent of the electricity generated at the solar park.
Tennessee-based Solar power company Silicon Ranch owns the solar park and is selling the electricity to Volkswagen under a 20-year power purchase agreement.
Phoenix Solar Inc, the U.S. unit of German solar company Phoenix Solar AG, built the project for Silicon Ranch.

Darrach G. (Rick) Taylor, long time Human Resource & Labor Relations executive died on February 8th of 2012. Rick was recognized for his expertise, imagination, and skill in labor relations and contract negotiations, and for developing harmonious and productive work forces worldwide.
Rick was born in 1934 in NYC, coming to Los Angeles in 1938. He was a product of LA city schools, St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Hollywood, and the Boy Scouts, where he earned the highest Eagle Scout rank.

Rick served as a destroyer officer, with deployments to the Western Pacific, aboard the Pearl Harbor based USS FOSS, later aboard the USS HANSON out of San Diego, and after recall for the Vietnam War, aboard the Long Beach based USS VAMMEN. Lastly, he was operations officer for ResDesDiv11, also in Long Beach. After 11 years active and reserve Naval service, he retired (honorary) as a Lieutenant Commander.
Rick's business career began as an industrial relations management trainee, ultimately a manager, for American Potash & Chemical Corp in LA in 1959.

Cock Hungry Stud Gets A Magical Mouthful
Duration: 24m, 34s, Starring Cole, Tully
Young stud Tully is so fucking horny that he could explode! He'd do anything for a hot cock to suck; it's lucky for him that he is about to have a magical sex experience! He finds a headless mannequin in his bedroom, and as soon as he touches it, like touching a genie's lamp, it bursts into life. It's suddenly transformed into flesh and blood stud Cole, who is completely naked, extremely hot and packing a rock hard dick that needs to be serviced! Cock hungry Tully dives down towards that meat, swallowing it whole before he knows what he's doing. The two men spend the rest of the night sucking each other and swallowing each others' sperm.
Tully's Ass Broken In By Latino Gangster
Duration: 16m, 16s, Starring Fernando Montoya, Tully
White bread stud Tully hooks up with badboy Latino gangster Fernando and takes him back to his house. Fernando's eyes are darting from side to side in a dodgy manner as soon as he walks in to the opulent middle-class home - he's obviously checking out what he's going to steal after he is through owning Tully's ass! Fernando pulls Tully's head down onto his dick, enjoying the feeling of those inexperienced Caucasian lips on his nasty brown cock. Fernando has also brought along one of his favorite sex toys, a truly huge cock shaped dildo that stretches out Tully's ass good and makes him growth and squeal. This one is fucking nasty!
Tight Latin Ass Broken In By White Cock
Duration: 17m, 50s, Starring Tully, Wes
There is a sexy new Latino guy at school, and muscle stud Tully is determined to break him in. He invites the young guy back to his house after school, knowing that his parents are going to be out for a while - he's going to have the gorgeous hunk all to himself! Tully pulls his cock out of his pants and the Latino's eyes light up in anticipation; he quickly crouches in front of his new Caucasian boyfriend and shows off his oral skills. Tully pulls off the stud's clothes, sbrothaing at the small cock and balls that he finds; but he's not interested in the dick size, because what he wants is to ram this hot Latino in his tender ass!
Duration: 11m, 59s, Starring Tully
Muscular young stud Tully is seriously fucking hot! Tall and perfectly toned, who is also packing a nice cock in his pants. Your mouth will be watering as you watch him stretch out on the sofa - tall guys are just so God damn hot! He briefly shows off his ass, although he is obviously a bit shy about anal penetration; he'll finger his ass while he masturbates, but he won't let you see it! He is also neatly shaved, completely hairless apart from a small patch of pubes. He quickly thrashes himself off, one hand hidden under his ass cheeks while he fingers his butt; soon he is spurting all over those sexy wash board abdominal muscles.

We hear it all the time: be your best self! But what does that really mean? How do we be our best selves? We may spend a small fortune on a new wardrobe of all of the latest trendy styles, buy a membership to the best fitness club, or get a sporty new car. But we still feel the same. We might have changed some things but we don't feel any different. We're still our same old selves. So why don't we feel any different? Because that's not what it's about.
Find yourself.
Being your best self begins with being yourself. Then it's about taking that self that you've discovered and becoming your best self. It's all about bringing out the best you, and believe me, you have a spectacular you. Of course, since you are a unique snowflake, what that looks like for you isn't going to be the same as what it looks like for everyone. It's not about a one-size fits all prescription. It's about you.
Be true to yourself.
It begins by asking yourself some questions. What makes you feel good about yourself? Is there something you do, some activity you engage in, something you listen to, some place you go, something you wear – that makes you feel your best? A whole new set of clothes that were picked right out of the latest fashion magazine may not have the same effect as that favorite pair of jeans you wear that fit you just right and make you feel beautiful.
That class or course you take and complete may give you that extra boost of confidence that you really can do anything you set your mind to. Taking that dance class you always wanted to take, learning to play guitar or paint, getting on (and staying on) that exercise program, taking that trip you've been wanting to take, getting a make-over – the list of things to do to bring out your best self is endless.
Believe in yourself.
And that's the point. Shift the focus to you, take a closer look at what makes you feel your best, and with a little imagination and resolve you can discover that self that has always been there just waiting to be released to spread her wings and fly.
Because when you feel your best, when you feel that kind of confidence that comes from within you, you radiate a confidence and attractiveness that comes through as the authentic, real, beautiful you. That's you. That's your own best self!

NEARLY four months after he was charged with a crime that shocked the nation, the man accused of raping and murdering Jill Meagher has decided to fight the charges, a court has heard.
Adrian Ernest Bayley, 41, of Coburg, appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Friday via videolink from the Melbourne Assessment Prison when it was revealed a contested committal hearing on the charges will be heard in March.
Deputy Chief Magistrate Felicity Broughton said the hearing to decide if Bayley should stand trial was expected to take 1½ days and would begin on March 12.
Ms Broughton said she would extend a ban on any damaging information about Bayley being published on the internet. She said the ban would also apply to another name Bayley had used in the past - Adrian Ernest Edwards.
The magistrate indicated an interpreter would be required on the first day of the hearing but did not say if it was for one or more witnesses.
Bayley, wearing a tight-fitting dark grey shirt, sat behind a table during the 15-minute hearing with his hands clasped in front of him.
He spoke only twice: to tell the magistrate that he could see her and the courtroom.
Bayley spent most of the brief hearing with his head bowed but occasionally looked up to stare at the monitor. He did not apply for bail.
Concerns were raised at Bayley's last court appearance before Ms Broughton in October about people using social media to vilify him.
Defence lawyer Helen Spowart tendered a vast amount of internet-sourced material she claimed was designed to express or incite hatred towards Bayley. The material had appeared on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube after Bayley's arrest.
Ms Spowart claimed during the October hearing that the material fuelling the vilification of Bayley could irreparably damage his chances for a fair trial.
Bayley had been labelled in ''subhuman terms'' and the continued publication of the material could contaminate the views of potential jurors, she said.
Ms Broughton agreed and ordered any damaging material about him be removed from the internet.
Ms Meagher's distraught husband, Tom, had days earlier pleaded with people on social media to stop posting comments about Bayley for fear of interfering with the court case.
And last week police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay met a senior Facebook executive to express concerns that hate pages could have threatened Bayley's prosecution.
There is no ban, however, on the publication of Bayley's image because the magistrate decided identity was not an issue in the case. She did not believe the publication of photographs of Bayley would prejudice the administration of justice.
Bayley is accused of abducting Ms Meagher, 29, who moved with her husband from Ireland to Melbourne three years ago, while walking home alone from a bar in Sydney Road early on Saturday, September 22.
She had left Bar Etiquette at 1.33am on Saturday after drinking with ABC colleagues and planned to walk to the nearby flat she shared with her husband.
Police discovered Ms Meagher's body buried in a shallow grave beside a dirt road in Gisborne South, which is about 45 kilometres - or a 40-minute drive - from where Ms Meagher was last captured on CCTV footage walking north along Sydney Road in Brunswick. Bayley was arrested and charged on Thursday, September 27.

You'd have to ask CBS that question. They originally planned to release them in order, then they rushed out TAR7 because it had just aired and did very well in the ratings, then go back and do TAR2, but who knows what happened?I have all of the TAR's, but I recorded the first 7 off GSN, then got the rest off my TV.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge said Friday she can't overturn President Barack Obama's decision to revoke a Chinese company's purchase of four wind farm projects in the vicinity of a U.S. naval facility's restricted airspace.
However, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said the Ralls Corporation has a right to a hearing over whether the White House should be forced to explain its decision.
In his September decision, Obama ordered Ralls Corporation, a company owned by Chinese nationals, to divest its interest in the wind farms it purchased earlier this year in Oregon. The wind farm sites are all in the vicinity of restricted air space near the Naval Weapons Systems Training Facility Boardman. The administration cites unspecified national security risks as the reason for blocking the transaction.
Ralls sued. Its CEO, Wu Jialiang, said in Beijing in October that his company would "never do anything that threatens U.S. national security."
Jackson said the federal courts don't have the power to get involved in the president's decision-making on this issue.
The law "is not the least bit ambiguous about the role of the courts: 'The actions of the president . . . and the findings of the president . . . shall not be subject to judicial review,'" she said.
However, Jackson said the courts can hold hearings on whether the government deprived Ralls of its property without due process of law. Ralls argued that the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment entitles it to an opportunity to be heard and to hear the reasons for Obama's decision, she said.
"It is true that the finality provision will bar the court from hearing any attack on the president's findings," Jackson said. "But there is a difference between asking a court to decide whether one was entitled to know what the president's reasons were and asking a court to assess the sufficiency of those reasons."
Jackson said she will hear arguments on that issue later.

Grandmothers are known for their delicious homemade food. For Tracey Taylor, it's all about her grammie's mustard pickles. She recalls helping her grandmother cut up the fresh vegetables and how the house would smell after a day of picking. Today, Tracey makes these mustard pickles for her family using grammie's recipe. It really is a tradition worth preserving!

A Tale of Two PathsPrologueListen again, friends, to our legend of the BIONICLE.Five hundred years ago, a Great Mask of Power called the Kanohi Olmak, an artifact that granted travel through the dimensions of existence. After being lost by a toa warrior in a battle, it was trapped floating through dimensional space.But as it traveled, it struck a barrier of an unknown power, shattering and melding the dimensions together into a ring of seven planets separated from each other and a mysterious eighth planet by a destructive energy called "Bluespace". This collection of universes -- a "Multiverse" -- became known by its inhabitants as Aethion.Aethion is constantly threatened by the force known by most of the Multiverse as the Olmak Effect, which warps physics and is slowly tearing down Aethion. But for some, the Olmak Effect is merely an afterthought, as equally dangerous challenges face them at every moment… Chapter 1: "Clash over Atohune"Ga-Toa Laro hurled one powerful bolt of water towards an orange-armored Agori below. After wiping his eyes, he responded with three wooden darts towards her mask, convincing her to rush farther up the ladder. She scrambled up a few more rungs, focusing only on her goal.That goal was to reach Alarist, to get some help for one of her tribe's agori. During a border dispute with the very tribe whose territory she was trespassing in, the agori suffered what could be a lethal injury, if not assisted quickly. Unfortunately, her small tribe had no one skilled in healing any species with as much organics as agori, so they had to fetch help from somebody on Alarist. Unfortunately, the tribe they had the dispute with was the one in possession of the Alarist Olmak Totem, and they were not going to allow a toa from her tribe anywhere near the spirit they hosted.She had been able to get a head start on them by using a Noble Kanohi Huna, but now it didn't look like that head start would matter much.About thirty feet left to the top. Laro thought to herself. Thirty feet from Alar --Her thoughts were stopped short by a shock up her back. A le-matoran had thrown a wooden dagger into her back, and it had wedged itself in the gears in her back, immobilizing her mechanical parts. As the gears tore through the knife, she screamed mentally -- since her immobile mechanical parts prevented her from opening her mouth.In a sudden start, her gears shredded through the wooden knife, and her mechanical parts whirled to life again. With new energy, she continued climbing, with the orange agori hot on her heels. She reached the top shortly, and hauled herself up onto the platform."There it is!" Laro exclaimed, dashing for the Olmak Totem. Sure enough, it was marked for Alarist, and she was only a few feet from it now. In her eagerness, however, she failed to notice an anomaly open until the last moment."Get out of here!" yelled the orange agori. "Don't you see that you've angered him?" He said, referring to the spirits that lived in the towers and controlled the blue energy."I have no choice!" She replied. "One of your tribe caused the trouble when he attacked one of our agori."The agori said nothing, and instead leaped over the edge of the tower, grasping one of the rungs below. Laro turned to see a large flaming stone shooting out of the blue energy. She dove to the ground, just avoiding the flying boulder. The rock flew over the tower, and stopped spinning long enough for Laro to recognize it. It was one of the flying metal chunks that those from the Shattered planet called a spacecraft.She didn't have much time to observe it, however, thanks to a zealous attack by the orange agori and the le-matoran that pursued her earlier. As the orange agori hit her from behind in her legs, the le-matoran hit her high from the front, knocking her over the edge of the tower.Laro's thoughts went silent as she tumbled through the air. What is there to think about? she asked herself. After all I don't --She blacked out shortly from the impact. When she could see straight again, she pulled herself up, and found herself on the back of the Clysmax spacecraft. Desperate to get back to the top of the tower, she opened a hatch of the craft, hoping to somehow pilot the flying "rock" to the top again.
***"I don't take passengers!" called out Kiasu. After having her ship torn apart and transported to Atohune by the OE anomaly, the last thing she needed was a hitchhiker."Sorry, I have no other options." the visitor, a toa of water, said. "I need to get to Alarist.""Well then you're out of luck." said Kiasu. "The only place I'm headed to is Ga-Clysmax.""Please, matoran. One of the agori in my tribe is injured, and none of us know how to heal agori or glatorian."Kiasu was about to respond that her ship was going down, but she was too distracted at the moment."Forgive my apparent carelessness, Toa," Kiasu said in her typical sarcastic tone, "but my steering fell apart in the first anomaly, and there's a second one waiting for us!"Both toa and matoran closed their eyes in fear as the ship spun into the anomaly.

Should "diversion" and "amusement" be in quotation marks?
As for the word "sport," it derives from Old French "desport," which means diversion or amusement.
I don't think its necessary. You could but its better you do not. The reader has already got the picture with the first two. The other words are otherwise further explanations which should be left without quotation marks.

What HE said, too. Gee guys, great discussion. Really non-trivial is very definitely the right answer, and yes it can be perfectly sensible to buy non-ECC memory for a cluster depending on its scale and the overall quality of the hardware and infrastructure. I agree with Jim -- I think that a LOT of memory errors result from e.g. overheating inside the box, power supply problems, incorrectly set or just plain buggy BIOS, cheap-ass motherboard hardware. THESE all cost money to "fix" as well, mind you -- proper cluster design is all about CBA -- but I'd argue that one GOOD design feature is to use high quality parts and plug them into a professional-grade cluster infrastructure, ECC or not on the motherboards. I'd argue this only after trying it both ways, mind you -- this is bitter experience speaking here. The HUMAN cost of ONE BAD SERIES of hardware is "greater than you can possibly imagine". So you also need to trade off the cost of getting hardware a vendor is willing to support with 3 year onsite service (where if non-ECC starts throwing errors on some particular node THEY can just plain replace the node) against the cost of getting vanilla OTS whiteboxes, self-maintaining them, and getting ECC memory as ONE of your strategies for keeping them working sort of when really they're broken. Plus radiation. Clusters in Denver and Mexico City are exempted from this, or are trading off ECC costs vs putting the cluster in a nuclear bombshelter. rgb > > >> more to the point, if you're going to network $300 PCs, ECC should almost >> certainly not be on your xmas list... > > Or, rather, you should do ECC by using 11 computers for $300 rather than 8 > computers for $500. > >> __ > > James Lux, P.E. > Spacecraft Radio Frequency Subsystems Group > Flight Communications Systems Section > Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Mail Stop 161-213 > 4800 Oak Grove Drive > Pasadena CA 91109 > tel: (818)354-2075 > fax: (818)393-6875 > > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit > http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > -- Robert G.

UTEP improves to 18-6 overall and 8-1 in C-USA, while ODU is 11-13 overall and 5-4 in the league. The win was UTEP's eighth in a row and runs their C-USA road record to 4-0. The Monarchs were led by sophomore guard Keenan Palmore and freshman guard Ambrose Mosley with eight points each. All but one Monarch who played scored atleast one point tonight. UTEP lead by 10 at halftime, 35-25 and by as much as 19 (58-39) with 7:42 remaining in the game. The Monarchs cut into the Miners lead and pulled to within nine, 41-32 after a three-point basket by Abrose Mosley, but C.J. Cooper was fouled on a three-point attempt and hit all three of his free throws, followed by a basket from Bohannon to put UTEP up 14, 46-32 with 13:19 left. The Miners shot .487 (19-39) from the field and hit 22-of-32 free throws on the night, while ODU shot .255 (12-47) from the field and were 22-of-35 from the free throw line. The Monarchs outrebounded the taller Miners, 38-32 as red-shirt juniors Richard Ross and and Dimitri Batten each had seven rebounds, followed by junior reserve forward Joe Ebondo with six. UTEP was led by John Bohannon with eight rebounds, followed by Matt Willms and Cedrick Lang with six each. The Monarchs return to action on Thursday, Feb. 13 at North Texas, then Feb. 15 at Tulsa.

SPOILERS AHEAD. Since Mass Effect 3's ending doesn't really do the greatest job of telling you what happens next, fans are filling in the gaps. Some are doing the wrong thing and being totally serious about it.
Others are giving the game an Animal House-style, '80s comedy epilogue. Which, now that it's here, I'm just going to treat as canon.

For best printing results turn on "Print background colors and images" in your browser settings.
The photos and videos shown here may be of a different model, model year or body type from the one selected. The ratings of one vehicle often apply to other models if they are built on the same platform. In addition, a test of a vehicle from one model year may apply to earlier or later model years if the vehicle hasn't been significantly redesigned.
The Hyundai Sonata was redesigned for the 1999 model year, and the Kia Optima was introduced in the 2001 model year. The Sonata was again redesigned for 2006, but the Kia Optima remained unchanged for the early part of the 2006 model year (2006 cars manufactured before October 2005). Therefore the ratings listed here also apply to early 2006 Optimas.
Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on both tibias indicate that injuries to the lower legs would be possible. Head acceleration from the B-pillar hit was low.
Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the B-pillar and roof rail.
How this test is conducted
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures and/or internal organ injuries plus a fracture of the pelvis would be likely in a crash of this severity.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side airbag that deployed from the seat.
Passenger — The dummy's head was hit by the pillar behind the rear passenger door and the window sill of the rear door. This pillar is required by federal standard to provide some protection for occupants' heads. The hit by the window sill did not produce high head injury measures, but the head protection is inadequate.

The insatiable hunt for yield is eating into returns in the bond market right now, so income-hungry investors might want to get a little snack on the side.
Enter the \"burrito bond\": for a limited time only, a fast-food Mexican chain is offering free burritos alongside its 8% coupons.
Here\'s the deal: Chilango has seven restaurants across London, but it wants to open more. To fund its expansion it is selling 1 million British pounds worth of bonds that pay a semi-annual coupon of 8% over the 4-year life of the debt.
If you invest 10,000 pounds, you get free lunch once a week over the lifetime of the bond, according to the offering document. If you just want to invest the minimum amount of 500 pounds, you can still get two free lunch coupons. If you are one of the first 100 investors, you get to attend a burrito launch party.
Chilango is using crowd-funding website Crowdcube to raise money, which has a program for issuing \"mini bonds.\" That means that anyone can participate. As this post was published, 85 investors had helped the company reach 36% of its goal. (Watch the full pitch video here.)
If you can\'t already tell, this is a funny sort of bond. In some ways it feels like part of the technology-fueled wave of the future: The firm is raising a small amount of money on a crowd-funding website, far away from the desks of major banks.
In other ways, it\'s sort of old-fashioned: It\'s reminiscent of how some companies used to give bondholders gifts as a token of appreciation for buying their debt, a practice that\'s no longer common, mused Matt Duch, portfolio manager at Calvert Investments.
Either way, those yield-starved investors won\'t be left hungry.

Type: Defect
Status: Closed
Priority: Critical
Resolution: Completed
Affects Version/s: Release 1.5
Fix Version/s: Release 1.6
Component/s: None
Patch:Code and Test
Bug reported by Zach Tellman https://groups.google.com/d/msg/clojure-dev/HvppNjEH5Qc/1wZ-6qE7nWgJ
Since transients were introduced the invariant array.length == count*2 doesn't hold for HashCollisionNode.
However persistent .without still relies on it.
Hence persistent dissoc on a collision node created by transients fails.
(let [a (reify Object (hashCode [_] 42)) b (reify Object (hashCode [_] 42))] (= (-> #{a b} transient (disj! a) persistent! (conj a)) (-> #{a b} transient (disj! a) persistent! (conj a))))
returns false.
Patch: persistent-assoc-after-collision.diff
Generative test patch: transient-generative-test.diff
The generative test reliably reproduces the error. It is simpler than the original test that found the bug but tests a series conj/disj/transient/persistent actions on a set. I've included it separately in case we decide not to apply.
Screened by: Alex Miller
I can confirm that the patch works for me. As per our #clojure conversation, I've done the ClojureScript port; see CLJ-648.
I've run Zach's original test, as well as my own simple-check test. Both are passing.
I don't suppose we could get a generative test (prob need to use test.generative which is already included) to test this stuff similar to the original test that found the bug?
Very much hoping to get this into 1.6.
Alex, I suspect clojure-dev would reach a much wider audience for your request than a comment on this ticket, which only has 3 watchers, and I don't think many people besides you and I watch the stream of all ticket state changes as they go by.
Just wanted to note that this patch, apart from preventing the hash-based collections from failing Zach's test suite, also makes avl.clj collections pass (now that I've released fixes for the two bugs uncovered by the test suite in avl.clj 0.0.9). This provides some cross-validation, I think.
(The built-in sorted collections pass either way, because they don't support transient ops.)
Also, David Nolen has merged the ClojureScript port of the patch.
I'm going to take a crack at repro with test.generative this morning - wish me luck!
Added a simplified version of a test-generative test and marked screened.
Patch was applied to master for 1.6.

carey needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 137 designs submitted by 47 freelance designers.
Looking for a high end logo for a management consulting company - the logo should be crisp and clean and able to be multi purposed between print communications (stationary) and web utilization
Focus Consulting Group
The company focuses on workflow improvement and implementing quality management systems including ISO, Six Sigma etc.
No particular requirements other than a clean, crisp professional look (sorry can't describe that very well). The whole name is not necessarily required in the logo - perhaps just the focus name, but I don't now, I leave it to the professional design types.
I would prefer a colour logo to a black and white logo (I think...) and am interested in something that would be more vector type than bitmap.

81-year-old once-prominent California psychiatrist sentenced to 8 years in molestation case
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – A once-prominent Northern California child psychiatrist was sentenced Monday to eight years in prison for molesting his young patients over a span of three decades.
William Ayres, 81, received his sentence after several hours of emotional statements from the men he molested when they were under his care as boys, the San Mateo County Times reported (http://bit.ly/13UpGTL ).
One of the victims, who is now a psychotherapist helping teens, called Ayres a "monster."
"I was the perfect candidate for you to perform your perversions on," said the man, identified as Thomas C. in court. "I told my parents and they didn't believe me."
Ayres, wearing red jail clothes and seated in a wheelchair, mostly stared at the table in front of him, but did look up occasionally at his victims, according to the newspaper.
The former president of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry pleaded no contest in May to eight molestation charges on the eve of a retrial.
Ayres was tried in 2009 on charges that he molested several young boys under his care from the 1960s through the 1990s, but a jury couldn't reach a verdict.
Prosecutors attempted to retry him, but Ayres was ruled incompetent and sent to a hospital. A judge sided with prosecutors last year who argued that he fooled mental health experts into believing he had dementia to avoid prosecution.
Ayers was accused of using physical exams that included the genitals as a cover for the abuse. He testified at his trial that the exams he conducted on some of his patients were necessary because he had concerns about their physical health.
Prosecutors said they were aware of 50 alleged victims.
Ayres' patients were a mix of private clients from wealthy families who were referred by their pediatricians and troubled juvenile delinquents ordered to undergo therapy by the courts.
He was arrested in 2007 after a four-year investigation, and his license to practice medicine was suspended.
Between 1987-2002, officials received at least four sexual abuse complaints about Ayres, the Times reported. In 2002, he was honored by the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors with an award recognizing his "tireless effort to improve the lives of children."

Brett McFall needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 70 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
I require a logo for my brand new mentoring program, called the "Brett McFall Leadership Program." The program will challenge students to take the actions they've been meaning to take, but just couldn't get themselves to do it. Over the course of 3 months they'll have their own mentor to coach them, inspire them, and give them the structure they need to achieve their goals. The students will already have internet business skills and so will achieve many of their goals through online methods (like helping their local community in some way through using the internet).
Brett McFall Leadership Program
A stylish logo that is simple yet lets you know that this is a high-level program.
- Use as many colors as you want. However it must easily be transitioned into a one color logo (and I will require both versions)
- Mainly just type in the logo, however a suitable supporting graphic is also fine
- Does not need to be intricate in design, just simple and stylish
