Most normal cases I've seen have a power supply in the top rear and suck air from the bottom of the power supply (usually very near the cpu) and exhaust it out the back. So while it burns about 10% of the energy for the PC (typical efficiencies in the nicer power supplies are around 90%) very little of that heat should flow upstream.... unless you lock your PC in a cabinet. For this reason I've found it quite strange that high end cases (apple, antex, lian-li, and others) have put the power supply in a separate airflow chamber in the bottom of the case. Seems of no benefit to the CPU/GPU/motherboard where most of the heat is generated. I guess it helps the power supply since it's sucking air at ambient, or past a few drives which shouldn't change the air temp much. > I was trying to figure out if I "liked" having the battery up front so > that air flowed over it before reaching the motherboard, as batteries > heat too when they're being charged Indeed, although if it's fed 12V I'd expect once charged (i.e. 99.9% of it's life) that the heat would be minimal. Sure you have a heat spike after a 3 minute outage. > but then I remembered that battery > lifetime is pretty strongly tied to temperature, so perhaps it makes > sense to keep it as cool as anything in the system. Indeed, it wasn't clear to me if the power supply was the only fan of if the racks themselves had additional fans in them. If the powersupply is the only fan then at least the fan would be running during an outage. Not too sure about the chemistry, but I suspect a discharge in 5 minutes would be quite a bit hotter than a 30-60 minute charge that seems commonly required to get back to 90% capacity or so. > The disk stack did look like it might get a bit hot; I'm guessing that > Google disks are pretty hammered. Disks are only what 5-10 watts each these days? Doesn't seem like you need much air relative to the rest of the system. Also I believe Google published some disk data on some n*10k drives over a few years of use and basically found no correlation between temperature (within normal usage limits) and rate of failures. While not great the google design certainly seems better than many hotswap bays I've seen that often mostly enclose the drive (sometimes in plastic even *ugh*), then put it in a tiny enclosure with a tiny air holes drilled in the backplane. Fortunately the migration from SCA and IDE to SAS and SATA seem to have helped this a good bit with smaller cables/pinouts.

Everyone wants what Microsoft's got, namely control of the most widely used computing platform. Or, more accurately, everyone wants the billions and billions of dollars that flow in from the dominance of desktop computing.
Replacing Windows shouldn't be hard. Everyone hates Windows, right?
That seems to be Google's thinking. The company announced this week that its shiny new Chromebooks will become available to order online starting June 15 in the US, UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain.
Chromebooks are laptops powered by Google's Chromium, which is an open source, browser-based operating system. The laptops will be built by Samsung and Acer, and they will be priced at £399 if you want 3G capability, with Wi-Fi-only models available for £349.
You can also "rent" Chromebooks. Businesses will pay $28 per month and schools $20. Software updates are constant and automatic. Hardware replacement happens automatically with failures and new versions.
Unlike Chrome, which is Google's browser application, Chromium has a built-in Flash player, a PDF viewer, an automatic self-updater and other features.
Google claims that Chromebooks have multiple advantages over other computers, including USB storage, a limited file manager, offline use of apps and data, superfast boot times and 8.5 hours of battery life on a single charge. The company emphasises that no data is lost when a machine is damaged, lost or stolen.
Google co-founder Sergey Brin offered this analysis: "With Microsoft, and other operating system vendors, I think the complexity of managing your computer is really torturing users. It's torturing everyone in this room. It's a flawed model fundamentally."
It shouldn't be too hard for Chromebooks to compete with "torture."
It's true that Windows computing can be painful and is a flawed model. But there's one major problem with Brin's statement: His sales pitch exists in a theoretical fantasy world where there is no distinction between personal and business computing.
When you think through the implications for these two markets separately, you can see that Chromebooks are best for neither.
Why Chromebooks aren't best for consumers
The idea that cloud-based computing is all about user happiness strains credulity. The whole purpose of cloud computing is to protect organisations from their users. Chromebooks take away user freedom and control. Yet Google is pitching the concept as an attraction to consumers.
Corporations may initially like Google's cloud model because it fences users in and makes it impossible for users to break things. Schools might like Chromebooks because they will make it difficult for students to do things they're not supposed to do, such as download malicious code. But few consumers would choose limitations over freedom.
If consumers actually wanted browser-only computing, they would simply do browser-only computing. Nothing stops anyone from buying a 15-inch laptop, downloading the Chrome browser and then doing all of their computing tasks inside Chrome.
Nobody does that because it's unappealing. People like to install applications, and they will do so if they can.
People who want to replace their "flawed" Windows PCs have an alternative that's superior to Chromebooks: namely, the app model invented by Apple for the iOS, and used by Google Android, HP's TouchPad and RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook. App-based touch tablets solve the "torture" problem Brin highlighted, without the problems inherent in cloud-only computing.
And I'll just come right out and say it: Chromebooks are ugly. The hardware is ugly, and the web is ugly, for the most part.
Thanks to the iPad, consumers have come to expect devices that are aesthetically beautiful, graphically appealing and fun. The Chromebook promises only drab utilitarianism. App-based touch tablets will be more popular for consumers than Chromebooks for the same reason that American Idol is more popular than CNN.
Why Chromebooks aren't best for business
Yes, Windows PCs "torture" users. But so does the cloud. Browsers aren't perfectly secure and reliable, and neither are Internet connections or websites.
Personally, I use three browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer. I do this because each browser has its own limitations and problems.
I've been struggling with the most recent version of Firefox, it crashes and does other weird things. So I've been using Chrome more as an alternative. But Chrome doesn't have my needed Firefox plugins. And it doesn't support RSS. I use each for different tasks. But when I hit a brick wall with both, I use Internet Explorer as my browser of last resort.
Chromebooks wouldn't give you this choice. If Google releases a flawed update, you're stuck with it. If it breaks your plugins, too bad. If it doesn't support your favourite website, tough luck. Besides, if Chrome is so great, why doesn't Google use it on Android?
Internet connections can have problems, too. Both 3G and Wi-Fi have their own sets of challenges. Mobile broadband connections don't connect in many locations. Home Wi-Fi routers can stop working. Of course, these things also happen with regular PCs. And Google is working hard to enable offline browsing. But when my connection is down with a PC, at least I can still use all my applications and files.
Here's the most important thing: The Internet itself can't be trusted to handle 100% of our computing needs.
Google's own Blogger service went down for more than 24 hours this week. To restore service, Google rolled back to an older, backed-up version, which didn't include 30 hours of blog posts for Google's millions of users. As I was writing this column, Google was working to restore the lost posts.
Such disruptions happen all the time, even for cloud-based services that are supposed to be bulletproof. Amazon's EC2 website hosting service, which exists to provide fail-safe totally reliable hosting, experiences catastrophic outages. The most recent outage occurred in April. The glitch took down Foursquare, Reddit, Quora and other major services. It took Amazon four days to return service to normal.
Cloud computing is great, but only in combination with "regular" computing. The only reliable way to manage data is to store and back up locally, and also to the cloud.
The Chromebook model requires the user to have a fully functional machine, browser, connection and web services. Without each and every one of these elements working perfectly, a Chromebook is nothing but a tray for serving snacks. The big question is this: Do you trust Google to keep this programme going?
Google has gained a reputation lately of simply cancelling projects that aren't working out. The company has killed off Wave, Lively, Answers, Dodgeball, Video and other high visibility projects. People start getting excited about a platform, then one day Google makes an announcement, pulls the plug and that's it.
Even more relevant is the cancellation of Google's Nexus One phone. Google came up with a new way to sell phones and rolled it out in January, 2010. The Nexus One was available only online, and unlocked. Google assumed that users would be happy to provide tech support to each other, and so the company didn't set up any way to support users. They assumed wrong. The phone was taken off the market in July.
The question on the minds of businesses considering the Chromebook is this: Will Google end support?
Businesses are used to buying equipment from companies like HP, IBM and others that tend to support their products even if they're not runaway successes. And they provide migration plans if they do end product lines.
If a company is going to buy 300 Chromebooks and reorganise its IT department accordingly, it's going to need assurances that the platform will be supported for at least a decade. I haven't heard Google give that assurance.
The Chromebook's cloudy future
Google says one advantage of Chromebooks is that they don't have applications that need to be patched and updated. But that isn't true. Web-based apps get updated. The difference is that those updates happen without the knowledge, consent or control of either the user or the IT administrator.
This reminds me of the myth that cloud computing doesn't involve servers or hard drives. Of course it does. The Chromebook proposition is not the absence of software, patches, servers and hard drives. It's the removal of these things from your control. Who wants that?
The Chromebook idea sounds cool in theory. But in practice, a cloud-based laptop isn't best for consumers, and it's not best for business. The Chromebook will fail.

DC Councilmember-at-Large Proposes Program for Seniors to Learn About HIV
By Candace Y.A. Montague
November 1, 2011
DC Council Member at-large David Catania (I) introduced legislation last month to help senior learn more about HIV/AIDS from each other. The Senior HIV/AIDS Education and Outreach Program Establishment Act of 2011 would provide funding for the Department of Health to train seniors to become peer educators on the subject of sexual health and HIV. The educators would present workshops at senior centers, churches, and various gatherings around the city.
People over the age of 50 are becoming the focus of HIV intervention and education strategies recently. This population accounts for 17% of the new HIV diagnoses in 40 states. Here in DC, 7.4% of residents 40-49 years of age and 6.1% of residents 50-59 years of age are actually living with HIV/AIDS. Some seniors who are infected are experiencing difficulty with getting treatment for the virus and are struggling to deal with co-morbidities as well. A recent article written by Bethsheba Johnson, associate medical director of St. Hope Foundation in Houston, Texas, questioned why the Department of Health and Human Services hasn't issued specific guidelines for treatment for adults over the age of 60 who are infected. Johnson wrote, "When you are already starting with that "tired" immune system, older clients need some consideration."
As for the program proposed by Catania, Tanya Bender-Henderson, Faith-based OUtreach coordinator for Damien Ministries, says it's a great idea to have seniors help one another with such a sensitive topic. "The reality is that seniors are having sex and a lot of it, well into their 70s and 80s but may not have been comfortable talking about it [with their doctors] and more than likely are not discussing it with their current sex partners. This initiative will go a long way, intergenerationally, toward helping stop the spread of HIV/AIDS in the African-American community. By and large, our community still has a lot of reverence for our elders."

National Banks and Federal Savings Associations Encouraged to Work With Customers Affected by Recent Extreme Weather
WASHINGTON—The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency reminds national banks and federal savings associations of guidance to assist financial institutions and customers affected by extreme weather, such as the recent tornadoes in the south central and central United States.
The OCC recognizes the significant effects of natural disasters on individuals and businesses, and that prudent efforts to assist customers in areas hit by the disasters should not be subject to bank examiner criticism. OCC Bulletin 2012-28 provides supervisory guidance for banks and thrifts responding to disaster conditions in their communities.
The OCC encourages national banks and federal savings associations to consider various alternatives to assist affected customers that may include:
National banks and federal savings associations in need of assistance in dealing with customers affected by the extreme weather should contact the OCC.

Editors' note: Thanks to the release of recent, high-quality tablets, the overall score of the Archos 70 has been adjusted down from 7 to 6.
In the world of budget Android tablets, Archos reigns supreme. Compared with big names like the Apple iPad or Motorola Xoom, the tablets coming from Archos are ridiculously affordable.
The Archos 70 is the perfect case in point. It doesn't run the latest version of Google's Android OS or sport the latest wave of dual-core processors, but for as little as $270, it delivers a ton of bang for the buck. Its closest competition isn't even a tablet, but the Barnes & Noble Nook Color e-reader, which is similarly priced but woefully under-specced by comparison.
Like most tablet computers, the Archos 70 isn't much to look at. It's a plastic slab that measures 7.9 inches wide, 4.5 inches tall, and a slim 0.43 inch thick (or 0.55 for the hard-drive model). The dimensions feel nice in the hand and may even fit in a generous-size pocket.
Compared to the similarly sized Archos 7 Home Tablet we reviewed in 2010, there's a generous smattering of ports and hardware options on the Archos 70. The power button is on the right, positioned uniquely near the bottom edge along with a slim volume rocker. Along the left side you'll find a microSDHC memory expansion slot, headphone jack, power adapter socket, Mini HDMI output, and a Micro-USB port. Apart from the speaker grilles on the front and an integrated (flimsy) kickstand on the back, that's about all there is to the tablet's design.
Despite all these great hardware features, you won't find the typical Android navigation keys on the Archos 70. Taking a cue from Android's new flagship Honeycomb OS, Archos has moved the controls for home, back, menu, and search into the OS. The upshot of this move is that the navigation controls reposition themselves to match the device's orientation. If you're already an Android power-user, the lack of tactile navigation keys may take some getting used to, but we found the change useful on the whole.
One Android tweak we weren't thrilled with was the Archos 70's keyboard. After our previous criticism over how Archos kept the spacebar out of thumb's reach by making the centralized key too small, the company has since shifted the key over to the left. Unfortunately, it's still the size of a smartphone spacebar, and crowded in with cursor keys. Since the tablet doesn't reorient itself when held in portrait mode, there's only one way to type on the screen, and it leaves much to be desired. If you can tweak the keyboard using optional software, we'd recommend it.
The 7-inch screen on the Archos 70 does have a few qualities working in its favor. The backlit LCD has an 800x480-pixel resolution that gives movies and photos crisp detail and balanced color. The viewing angles aren't great, but we've seen worse. We wish Archos would have opted for a matte finish on the display to help resist smudges and glare (as it has done in the past), but we're fairly happy considering the price.
As far as software goes, you're looking at an Android 2.2 device, minus the conveniences of Google's proprietary apps, including Android Marketplace, Gmail, and Maps. You get the stock Android 2.2 e-mail app and Web browser, along with Archos' remixed versions of the Android music player, photo viewer, and video player.
As a peace gesture, Archos offers its own app store called AppsLib, for those looking to go through the motions. As we've noted in previous Archos tablet reviews, the content just isn't there. It's like taking a trip through a flea market. There are plenty of knockoffs and hastily produced games and demos, but the brand names aren't around.

A program designed to help Alabamians lose weight is kicking off its seventh year.
The state Department of Public Health is encouraging four-member teams to start forming for Scale Back Alabama. The teams will weigh in the week of Jan. 19-25 and weigh out the week of April 6-12. The winners will be announced April 26.
There is no charge to enter. Teams where each member sheds at least 10 pounds are eligible for a random drawing where the first prize is $4,000, the second prize $2,000 and the third prize $1,000.
Nearly 30,000 people participated in Scale Back Alabama during 2012 and they lost nearly 149,000 pounds. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention figures that 32 percent of Alabama adults are obese.

Author Notes: Secretly, I call this "Odd Couple Mostarda". Maybe there's something wrong with me, because my boyfriend hates this while I can't stop eating it. I made this on a whim one day, intended as a sort of relish for some pork chops I'd brined earlier (with oranges, natürlich). He says it tastes like marmalade, while I liken it to an orange-y pickle. Sometimes I nibble hard cheese as an accompaniment, but I confess to usually eating it straight out of the jar, a small forkful at a time. Try it and let me know what you think.
Note: I've halved this recipe for those who are wary of a combination they might end up not liking. I'm looking out for you, folks. —Elizabeth Rex
Food52 Review: This recipe pays off in so many ways! First comes the wonderful aroma that fills your kitchen as it cooks. Then you have the fantastic favors at play in the finished product -- delicious right out of the pan, or if it lasts long enough, even better the next day. We ate it on crackers but imagined it as a companion to all kinds of things, both savory and sweet. Its final gift: the wonderful aftermath of flavor and aroma that lingers on after you've enjoyed all the orange-y, fennel-y goodness. —lmikkel
Makes: about 3/4 cup (1 small jar)
of a small fennel bulb, cut into a small dice
navel orange
1 1/2
teaspoons whole mustard seeds
teaspoon whole fennel seeds
cup sugar
cup white wine vinegar
tablespoons water
- Place fennel, spices, sugar, vinegar, and water into a small saucepot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, as your saucepot is heating, zest the navel orange. It should yield about 1 teaspoon, but if you get less, that is fine. Set zest aside.
- Peel the orange as if you were supreming or segmenting it, but instead of segmenting, cut the orange into 4 pieces and remove the middle pithy part, seeds, and hard rind (if any). The membrane between the orange segments is fine. Dice what you have, which should yield about 1 cup. Add to the saucepot, which should have come up to a rapid simmer/boil about now. If the pot started boiling while you were cutting up the orange, that is fine.
- Once the oranges are in, bring to a boil for about 5 minutes, skimming any foam that appears, then turn down to medium. Simmer until liquid is reduced to the consistency of maple syrup (nearly all of the liquid will be gone by then) and the mustard seeds have plumped up and softened, about 20-25 minutes. Set aside and cool, then stir in reserved orange zest.
- Note: At this point, there will still be pieces of fresh orange in the mostarda. If you want a more cooked-down, marmalade-ish consistency, bring the orange to a boil with the fennel, and simmer on medium-low heat for 30 minutes.

Well, would a new Brothers In Arms or a new Rainbow Six game interest you? We've heard that those games may be among Ubi's E3 2011 line up. We also expect some amount of madness from Ubisoft today, who always puts on an entertaining E3 show. Sadly, we won't have the comic stylings of Joel McHale to keep our energy up, but we'll soldier on in the liveblog below.

Author Notes: This Christmas, my family and I went to Washington, DC to visit my sister, Abs, her husband and their two children -- the second of whom was not yet a month old. We decided to do Christmas dinner potluck-style, with my mother and me bringing the veggies, and my sister handling the main event and dessert. She bought a ham and two ducks, which my mother then proceeded to show us how to crisp perfectly on Christmas afternoon.
I had never slow roasted a duck before, and I'll admit I was a little worried about the meat drying out. But my mother insisted that her method -- taught to her by her own mother years ago -- was foolproof. We watched as she pierced the fat of the duck with a carving fork at least thirty times, both front and back, salted the bird all over, and put it in the oven at 250 degrees. As the hours went by, she would periodically remove the duck, pierce it all over again, and then return it to the oven. Once it started to look browned and slightly crisp, she carved it into pieces, turned up the heat a little and stuck the pieces back in the oven on a cookie sheet. They emerged mahogany and almost impossibly crisp and crackling. —Merrill Stubbs
Serves: 6 to 8
1 duck, about 5 pounds
Kosher salt
- Heat the oven to 250 degrees F. Remove the giblets from the cavity of the duck and rinse the bird inside and out with cold water. Dry the duck thoroughly with paper towels, including inside the cavity. Salt the cavity well.
- Using a sharp carving fork, pierce the skin of the duck, working at an angle so you don't cut into the meat, all over. (You want to pierce it at least thirty or forty times, all over the entire bird.) Salt the skin liberally, and place the duck, breast side down, in a roasting pan. Tuck the wings behind the neck and put it in the oven.
- Cook the duck, removing it every half hour or so and re-piercing the skin so that the fat can escape. After 2 hours, flip the duck onto its back, piercing the fat over the breast well. After about 3 hours, the duck should start to look crisp and lightly browned. At this point, turn the heat up 350 degrees F and continue to cook for another 30 minutes or so, until dark brown and very crisp. (Alternatively, you can cut the duck into pieces, arrange the pieces on a rimmed baking sheet and return them to the oven to crisp that way.) Let the duck cool for 5 to 10 minutes before carving and serving.

Hey guys,
I AM BACK!!! First of all let me apologise for being absent the whole summer, I just realised that my last post was back in July, almost 3 months back. So it means I been missing the whole summer!!
This summer was kinda eventful for me. Shortly after the post in July, one of my elder bunny Nestor had fell critically ill and we almost lost him. Luckily with good vet and medication, he is still alive and kicking. He wanted to live and he is my little fighter and had never once given up even he was in lot of pain. I was exhausted after 4 days of providing him intensive care day and night.
During summer I have been getting myself more active in sports and had been going to swim with a friend. I feel so much better physically and mentally. August just flew by without even I realise it, my sister in law was visiting so we spent a lot of times in family and at the same time being so busy preparing for our trip to Asia. I just came back last week and the jetlag has finally gone away and life is back to routine.
I am glad that Mac Attack is back for autumn, theme : Fruit of the season... Autumn and winter are not really exciting for me in term of fruits and vege. I started to see oranges, apples, pears... (like them but just do not love them) All my favourite berries are coming to an end and I have to wait until next year. Oh well this is the nature.... I found some walnuts and some organic apples in the market yesterday, and was thinking using apple with Manzana liquor to give it a kick in my macarons. So for this entry, let me present you Apple Jelly White Chocolate and Walnut Macaron.
So let's start baking
- 1 egg whites (40g) - Room temperature
- 30g castor sugar
- 50g icing sugar
- 25g almond meal
- 1/4 teaspoon of green powder /gel food colouring
- 1 - 2 walnut, skin removed and crushed
1. Mix almond meal food colouring (if use powder form) and icing sugar together and blend it up in the blender. Sift then set aside.
2. Using electric beater, beat egg white until foamy, then add in half of the castor sugar, continue until the egg white reaches soft peak then add in the rest and beat until stiff peak. if you use gel or paste food colouring, you can add it when the egg white reaches soft peak and continue to beat until stiff peak.
3. Add the dry ingredient to the meringue. Start folding each batter in each bowl until a smooth shiny batter is obtain. The batter should flow down smoothly and formed a ribbon when it's ready.
4. For details and FAQ on folding please refer to this post http://macaron-fetish.blogspot.fr/2010/02/basic-macaron-recipe.html
5. Prepare your piping bag and block the tip. Fill it up. Start piping the batter. Sprinkle some walnut over the shells.
7. Match up the shells by size and get ready to prepare the filling.
For the filling
For the jelly
- 1/2 apple (skinned and juiced)
- 1/2 tsp Manzana Apple Liquor
- 1/2 tsp agar agar powder
For the ganache
- 50g good quality white chocolate (valrhona)- chopped
- 20g fresh cream / soya cream
- 1/2 tsp Manzana liquor
1. In a pot, put apple juice, Manzana liquor and agar agar powder together. Stir and bring it to boil for 2 minutes. Pour it over a flat bowl / plat and let cool before placing it to set in the fridge.
2. Heat up the cream and Manzana liquor in another pot so that it is warm.
3. Pour warm cream over chopped chocolate stir to mix well and until a smooth consistence ganache is obtained.
5. When the jelly is set, cut it into small cubes. Fill one of the macaron shell with chocolate ganache, place the jelly cube on top, place a tiny drop of chocolate on another shell before placing it over.
6. It is best eating the same evening or next day as the moisture from the jelly might soften the shells.

Hey ! Modern art & pop culture, 2e édition
This is one of Time Out's top 50 things to do in Paris this summer. Click here to see the full list.
In 2011 Anne and Julien, founders of the alternative modern art and pop culture magazine HEY! – dedicated to 'outsider' art – opened Pandora's box and freed a swarm of artists from the pages of their magazine onto the walls of the Halle Saint-Pierre. A year and a half later, Paris can rejoice again: the underground is back. This second round of the exhibition makes another stab at overrunning the establishment, with an army of voices that are just as alluring, sharp and corrosive as the last time – the Bazooka collective, king of the psychedelic comics Jim Woodring and goth-gore photographer Joel-Peter Woodring are a few of the 60 artists gathered here to explode the boundaries of modern art, revealing a more sombre, trenchant and often batshit mental side to contemporary creativity.
A vibrant plunge into the counter-currents of 'lowbrow' art, pop-surrealism, independent comics, tattoo art and a whole slew of subversive visions, the HEY! II exhibition opens in darkness: on the ground floor, you advance through a sort of subliminal inner world with just a few improbable spotlit works – here, the hybrid bestiary of HR Giger (the creator of Alien), there the apocalyptic nightmares of painter Norbert H. Cox. One madness leads to another, and next you find your way into a crevass full of Joe Coleman's psychopaths piled on chaotic planks, the whole recalling the hells of Jérôme Bosch and American comics of the 1950s. Then, back upstairs and into the light.
On the first floor, more multitudes of nervous, acidic expressions are on show beneath the glass, revelling in their perversity. Sometimes madly funny, sometimes obsessive and disturbing, their visions cross over and interact without overwhelming the visitor; the motley ensemble all flows from the same source. Bellicose eggshells (Mike Davis), octopus heads (Jim Skull), yetis serving ice cream (Amanda Smith), animal-humans (Kate Clark) and a sardonically embroidered toilet (Moolineux) bounce freely off each other as if thrown together by the same punk wind.
A rare immersion in the world of counter-culture, for the second time HEY! has achieved a liberal re-balancing of the artistic scene dominating the French capital. It would be nice if this new edition signalled a more long term project, where this great gathering of the underground would become a regular feature of Parisian culture – certainly, HEY! proves that Paris is very much in need of a forum for all these unclassifiable forms of expression, which always prepared to stick two fingers up at a contemporary art scene bloated by the concerns of the market.

Research Highlights
May 2005
PNNL NCRR Proteomics Research Resource hosts national workshop
In conjunction with a national Proteome Society Meeting March 31-April 1, 2005, the NCRR Biomedical Technology Resource Center for Proteomics Research Resource for Integrative Biology at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory hosted a "Separations and Mass Spectrometry Applied to Proteomics and the Informatics Challenges Workshop" (http://ncrr.pnl.gov/training/workshops/) that focused on proteomic data standards and informatics challenges. Dick Smith is the Resource Director, and David Camp is Associate Resource Director.
The afternoon roundtable of the workshop covered data dissemination standards and open source software tools that help analyze that data. Data standards are vital to the growing collaborative nature of large-scale proteomics studies, as they will allow multiple institutions located in diverse areas to share the results of instrumental analyses without requiring distribution of many separate analysis software tools among the groups. Standardized formats will simplify publication of analyzed data, fostering rigorous peer review of results and new analysis tool development. Open source software allows any institution to examine, validate, and ultimately improve these tools when and where appropriate.
The workshop enabled some of the preeminent scientists working in these areas to present their findings and discuss the implications and future directions of these issues. The workshop agenda is at http://ncrr.pnl.gov/training/workshops/Spring_2005/agenda.stm.

Netflix sparked a flurry of customer outrage Tuesday with the announcement that it would no longer offer a plan that includes both unlimited movie streaming and unlimited DVD rental. These services will now be split into two plans, which start and $7.99 apiece. Together, they will cost about $16 — a 60 percent increase from the $9.99 price of the dual-option plan, which the company will cut on September 1.
This news was met by tens of thousands of furious comments on the Netflix blog announcement and the company Facebook page, with many users declaring the movie rental company dead in the water.
"Bad idea. Epic epic epic screw-the-customer fail," says one Facebook commenter.
"I agreed to like this page so I could say that I am no longer a Netflix customer," says another. "I told my family to cancel also."
These types of comments go on and on. At the time of this writing, there were nearly 38,000 comments on the company's Facebook page, most of them highly negative.
Despite the intense dissatisfaction among customers, however, investors' reaction couldn't be better: Netflix stock price popped by about 3 percent, at the time of this writing, to just under $300.
So, why the disconnect between the optimistic mood on Wall Street and the outright fury on Main Street?
According to Pacific Crest market analyst Andy Hargreaves, who specializes in technology companies, Netflix raised its prices in an attempt to actively shift from the expensive business of physical DVD rentals to the far more cost-effective endeavor of streaming movies and TV shows online. This, he says, is simply a wise business decision, at least in the long-term.
"Streaming, at a very basic level, is a better business than DVD distribution," said Hargreaves in a phone interview with Digital Trends. That's "because people use it more, the costs are fixed rather than variable, so you have more leverage longer term, and you can address new clients really easily, with no start-up costs, essentially."
While changing the plan price structure may make sense for Netflix's ultimate goals of becoming a streaming-only company, as opposed to a mail-order DVD rental operation, Hargreaves says that Netflix will likely lose some subscribers because of the price jump, but that the total number of lost users will be "negligible."
"There are clearly subscribers who are pissed. There are clearly going to be subscribers who cancel because of this," says Hargreaves. "I think, at the end of the day, that's probably a vocal minority, a very small vocal minority."
Hargreaves adds that, because the cost of a Netflix subscription is still far less than the average $100 price tag that goes with cable service, he expects the company will be able to survive the crashing wave of negativity, and still "continue to add [customers] in the next several quarters."
"At the end of the day — and this is the gamble that [Netflix is] making — there's going to be some saber rattling at the beginning, customers that are going to be annoyed because their price just got raised," says Hargreaves. "Is that really going to change how customers view the service? Probably not."
The obvious downside to a streaming-only Netflix subscription is that few new movies, especially the most popular titles, are available through that service, which is likely why the DVD rental option has remained so attractive to customers.
By making customers pay a minimum of $7.99 per month for the one DVD at-a-time plan, or $11.99 per month for two DVDs at once, Hargreaves says Netflix has made itself vulnerable to competitors like RedBox.
"On the DVD side you have viable alternatives. Redbox is pretty decent," says Hargreaves. "They don't have the depth of catalog [that Netflix has]. But you can get the same new movies." In terms of streaming, however, "there are no other options."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Ronald Roberts scored 18 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked three shots as Saint Joseph's rallied from a nine-point deficit to edge Temple 70-69 Saturday night.
Two 3-pointers by Carl Jones started an 18-5 run for the Hawks (13-7, 4-3 Atlantic 10 Conference), who trailed their local rival 61-52 with 5:39 left.
C.J. Aiken put Saint Joseph's ahead 68-66 with a layup off a lob from Halil Kanacevic at the 25-second mark.
After two free throws by Kanacevic, Khalif Wyatt's 3-pointer for the Owls (14-7, 3-4) made it a one-point game. Wyatt finished with a career-best 34 points and made 7 of 14 3-pointers.
Jones missed a free throw, but Wyatt had the ball go off Saint Joseph's on a drive, then couldn't hit a final shot with time running out.
Jones and Aiken scored 16 points each for Saint Joseph's. Kanacevic had 12 points, nine rebounds and eight assists.

Because of the work, the safety fence dividing the tracks has to be taken down, said Steve Forsberg, BNSF general director of public affairs. Metra trains are required to blow the horns when passing through the area when the safety fence is down, and residents should expect to hear the horns at night.
Forsberg said the track work will involve the railroad ties along the BNSF line and at some of the crossings. He said someone will direct road traffic across the track crossings.

Pandora (NYSE:P), the leading Internet radio service, narrowed its losses to $28.9 million in the first quarter, or 13 cents an adjusted share, just beating Wall Street's expectation of a loss of 14 cents per share.
Continue Reading Below
Pandora reported revenue of $194.3 million, up 69% compared to last year. Wall Street was expecting $174 million in sales.
Ad revenue was $140.6 million, a 45% yearly increase, while subscription revenue was $39.5 million, a 94% increase.
The music-listening service showed strong growth in mobile, posting a 92% rise to $147 million. Mobile revenue now accounts for 76% of total revenue.
Pandora showed record user engagement, with listening hours growing 12% to 4.8 billion in the first quarter. This comes despite increased competition from Spotify, iTunes radio, and Beats Music.
"Our strong first-quarter results demonstrate Pandora's deep listener engagement, accelerating monetization, and increasing leverage in our business model," said CEO Brian McAndrews, in a statement. "We will continue to invest aggressively to extend our leadership position."
Pandora shares are up slightly in the after market following Thursday's close of $28.20. Pandora shares are up 114% this past year.

LICH, which has been in operation in Cobble Hill for over 150 years, was acquired by SUNY Downstate in 2011. Since then the hospital has been losing money, according to Robert Bellafiore, a spokesperson for SUNY.
LICH's client base is predominately Medicare and Medicaid patients who pay significantly less than private insurance patients. According to Bellafiore, LICH is losing roughly $1 million a week.
At the rally, Dr. Alice Garner, chief of Neonatology at LICH, said that she blames upper management and not the patients for the money woes. She claims that last year alone, she personally billed over $1.6 million at LICH, but only $200,000 was collected.
"We've been talking about mismanagement," she said, "but when is someone going to name names?"
LICH supporters argue 90 percent of the beds at LICH are filled, which means that money should be sustaining the hospital. However, according to Bellafiore "patients in beds don't generate enough revenue."
He said the majority of patients at LICH are using state-funded policies that leave the hospital performing procedures that end up costing more money than the reimbursement.
However, Bellafiore admitted that he was familiar with the case of Garner and that LICH had problems with its billing system.
Stephen Berger, chair of the Health System Redesign: Brooklyn Work Group, agreed that LICH needed to be closed.
"Utilization levels make clear that the residents of Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights do not consider LICH their hospital of choice," he said.
In a letter to SUNY and in a public hearing at Borough Hall, Berger made it clear that his team found it to be true that Cobble Hill residents were seeking treatment from Manhattan facilities and disregarding LICH, a notion community members refute.
Community members, as well as local elected officials, are appealing to the governor in an attempt to save the hospital, as the state would have to approve any closure of a health facility.
Assemblywoman Joan Millman and State Senator Daniel Squadron were in attendance at the rally and both spoke about the need for this hospital to stay open.

Set Your Tivos: 02.11.09Posted by nvr1983 on February 11th, 2009
First, welcome to the "new and improved" Rush The Court. This is pretty much the same interface we were using before, but there are a few minor differences so it may take us some time to work the kinks out. Anyways, there are some note-worthy games tonight. You may have heard about a little game going down in Durham, North Carolina tonight.
Game of the Night
#3 UNC at #5 Duke at 9 PM on ESPN and ESPN360.com: Yeah. I know it's not exactly the scoop you were expecting from us, but this is probably one of the 5 best match-ups so far this season so I'm not going to go with another game just to be contrarian. The big match-up in this game is on the inside featuring Tyler Hansbrough and Kyle Singler. The Blue Devils will need a big game out of Singler who has struggled lately who is only 9/38 FG in his last 3 games. The other key match-ups will be on the perimeter with Ty Lawson against Greg Paulus at the 1 and high school teammates Wayne Ellington and Gerald Henderson going against each other. UNC should win this game fairly easily with the way that Duke has been playing lately. If Coach K wants to knock of Hansbrough in his last game at Cameron, he will need Singler to play like he did earlier this year and Jon Scheyer to be hitting any open looks he gets.
Other Games to Watch
#22 Syracuse at #1 UConn at 7 PM on ESPN and ESPN360.com: On almost any other night this would be our "Game of the Night", but there is that small rivalry we mentioned before. Jim Calhoun's team is starting to look like the team that some thought could threaten this year's G.O.A.T. UNC team with the emergence of Hasheem Thabeet as a black hole on the inside. Syrcuase will need a huge game out of Jonny Flynn and Eric Devendorf against the UConn guards (Jerome Dyson, A.J. Price, and Kemba Walker) because Arinze Onuaku isn't going to be shooting 70% with Thabeet lurking on the inside. I'm going with the Huskies by double-digits in this one.
#13 Xavier at Dayton at 7 PM on ESPN Classic: I'm guessing that both teams were caught looking ahead to this game as both lost their last game to inferior opponents. These two teams are probably the class of the Atlantic 10 so this might end up being a preview of the conference championship game although St. Joseph's and Duquesne may spoil the party. If Dayton wants to pull off the upset (and have a "Rush the Court" situation), they will need to contain Derrick Brown and B.J. Raymond. Normally, I might lean towards Dayton to pull off the upset, but I think the Musketeers will be too focused after losing to Duquesne in their last game.
#2 Oklahoma at Baylor at 9 PM on ESPN2 and ESPN360.com: This is a game that Baylor needs to win if they are going to have a chance to make the tournament. It probably isn't fair to make a game against the #2 team in the country and national POY (yes, I'm calling the race) Blake Griffin a must win, but it isn't fair to lose 5 straight in conference and still make the NCAA tournament. If the Bears are going to pull off the upset, they should focuse on limiting Willie Warren because they aren't going to stop Griffin and hope that Curtis Jerrells and LaceDarius Dunn both have big games.

London Film Festival 2013: Locke - Review
Review by Rob Carnevale
CINEMA is littered with scenarios in which a single character is the sole focus as their life unravels before them because of a set of exceptional circumstances. Just recently, we've had Robert Redford alone at sea in All Is Lost, while Tom Hanks was adrift in Castaway and Ryan Reynolds endured a torrid time confined to a coffin in Buried.
Compared to those, Tom Hardy's predicament in Locke, which sees him confined to being behind the wheel of his luxury BMW, is almost comfortable. But then Hardy is on a journey that could well destroy him in different ways.
The actor plays Ivan Locke, a dedicated structural engineer from Wales who is on the eve of a career defining achievement.
Instead of going through his usual meticulous final preparation, or even spending time with his family watching the football with his favourite German beer, wife and two sons, he is headed to London on the motorway to do the right thing and take the first steps towards correcting his one big mistake.
We won't reveal any further details of what's involved other than to say that over the course of his night-time drive Locke must juggle increasingly anxious calls from angry work colleagues with personal calls from the people whose lives his mistake has impacted, including his hitherto unaware wife.
Writer-director Steven Knight's subsequent film delights in slowly turning the screw against it's central character, showing how his controlled life gradually unravels even as he tries to hold each piece together.
Hardy, for his part, combines steely determination with a slow realisation that things are slipping away, as well as a deep-rooted anger that he may be about to repeat the sins of his own father. It's an utterly engaging stand-alone performance that continually keeps things compelling.
And while Locke's stubborn refusal to engage with the emotional complexity and hurt of his actions makes him a bit of an idiot, there remains something worth rooting for in him. Hardy conveys a lot from very little and is never allowed to leave the car for the entire journey.
Knight's film may not have as high stakes as some of the earlier films I mentioned but he still manages to keep things taut throughout, while even making you sympathise and root for some of the people at the other end of Locke's phone line.
And he ensures the film retains a cinematic feel with some stylish cinematography – his neon journey evocative of Michael Mann at times.
Hence, while Locke won't be to every taste and isn't without flaws (there are lulls, while some will find it difficult to warm to Hardy at all), Locke remains a confident and consistently engaging experience that's a triumph for both star and creator.

Considering a trip to view the gorgeous fall foliage of New England? Skip the quaint country roads and stay in the city! Not only are there endless options for amazing meals (read on), but the cornucopia of colors and the brisk air coursing through the city on a sunny fall afternoon make it a spectacular place to be this time of year.
Best Tapas and Best Restaurant Overall - Tasca
1612 Commonwealth Ave. Brighton, 617-730-8002 www.tascarestaurant.com
This is the place I dream about on a regular basis. When I lived in Boston, it was always a short walk from home. Take the "B" line down Commonwealth to get to this always crowded, amazingly affordable spot, and you will not be sorry. They have entrees, but I have never ordered one. Get tapas. Our favorite is setas al jerez (above), or mushrooms in a broth deeply flavored with homemade stock, sherry and a touch of cream. On this visit we also had a wonderfully warming lamb stew (top of post); a salt cod and potato stew; fresh, marinated anchovies (behind the mushrooms); and a tortilla espanola.
Best Place to Spend an Afternoon - Quincy Market
Right behind the historic Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market has a massive food court, bars, restaurants and shops, as well as some of the more talented street performers you're likely to see. It is also in very close proximity to the following attractions...
The Holocaust Memorial
The Union Oyster House, the official oldest restaurant in America. It is a great place to get a bite and a frosty mug of Bass Ale.
The Bell in Hand, our favorite among the row of bars along Union Street that fill up on weekend nights or after games and concerts at the nearby Bank North Garden.
Best Restaurant Earning National Recognition - Oleanna
134 Hampshire St. Cambridge, 617-661-0505
Ana Sortun's cozy, yet elegantly designed place on a quiet street in Cambridge is a unique gem of a restaurant. The menu consists of creative interpretations of Turkish and other Middle Eastern Cuisine through a local, seasonal lens. The menu changes throughout the year and incorporates many foods from the farm that Sortun's husband runs outside the city. We ate light, feathery pumpkin falafel; veal that was shredded and so scrumptiously moist, that it was quite like duck confit; and lamb steak with a perfect crusty char that was accompanied by a wonderful, up-market take on moussaka. We loved every bite and hope all of these dishes are in Sortun's new cookbook, Spice, so we can try them at home.
Best Raw Bar - Jasper White's Summer Shack
50 Dalton St. Boston, 617-867-9955 www.summershackrestaurant.com
The great selection of mostly New England and Canadian oysters are always fresh and resplendent with the salty goodness of the ice cold Atlantic waters. All the food is good, but the most special item at summer shack is the fried clams. If you haven't eaten fried clams in New England, you may not be aware that they are completely different from the greasy fried clam sticks made from frozen strips of something that may have once been a shellfish. Fried clams with bellies are fat, juicy, fresh and amazing with tartar sauce. Summer Shack does them better than any place.That's me on Newbury. The picture isn't really blurry; it was just incredibly windy that day. I love how the Hancock tower in the background nearly blends into the sky. That is what the architect, IM Pei, intended.
Best Place to Shop - Newbury Street
I love hunting for bargains at Downtown Crossing (home of the famous Filene's Basement), but Newbury is where it's at. Whether you're more Gap and Niketown or Armani and French Connection, you will be happy here. There are also some unique clothing and home boutiques, a first rate knife sharpener, an independent book shop and a Hello Kitty store. It also wins the award for Best People-Watching. Get a table outside at Stephanie's or snag the window seat at Starbuck's and you're set.
Best Place to View the Foliage - The Esplanade
The stretch of the Charles River on the Boston side is a perfect place for a morning jog, or a quiet stroll with a cup of coffee in your mittened hand. The trees that shelter you are shedding their fall colors, but the views of downtown Boston, the Prudential and Hancock Towers and my favorite, the new Zakim Bridge, fight with the leaves for your attention. Start at Kenmore Square and go as far as the Longfellow Bridge to take it all in.
Best Bed & Breakfast - The Gryphon House
9 Bay State Rd. Boston, 617-375-9003 www.innboston.com
Staying here was one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had. We stayed in the Garden Room, one of eight unique suites in this beautiful brownstone a few steps from Kenmore Square. Coming from Florida, we were thrilled to have a fireplace, and the wet bar did not go to waste. I rarely think hotels are worth the high rates, but this place (less expensive than ANY of the Boston hotels) actually made our trip even better. We walked to the Charles to jog in the mornings, had easy access to the "T" at Kenmore and were five minutes from Newbury and Boylston streets.

Audrey Patterson-TylerTrack & Field Athlete/Coach, 1940-96
Inducted: 1978
Audrey (Mickey) Patterson-Tyler was the United States' first black woman to win an Olympic medal; she won a bronze medal in the 200-meter dash at the 1948 Olympic Games in London. Born in New Orleans, Patterson-Tyler attended Danneel Elementary School and Gilbert Academy (now De La Salle High School) before earning a scholarship to Tennessee State University in Nashville. She graduated from Southern University in Baton Rouge.
Unbeaten as a prep and college competitor, she was a star in the 100- and 200-meter races and 400-meter relay and a national and international champion in the two individual events. She won the 200-meter race at the U.S. Olympic trials in 1948, making her one of nine black American female track athletes to compete at the London Games.
She was 22 when she won her Olympic medal, covering the 200 meters in 25.2 seconds, the same time as Shirley Strickland of Australia. It took officials 45 minutes to decide that Miss Patterson would get the bronze medal; Strickland was placed fourth. Fanny Blankers-Koen of the Netherlands, considered the greatest female Olympian of her time, won the race, earning her third gold medal of the 1948 games.
She was named Woman Athlete of the Year in 1949 by the Amateur Athletic Union.
She later became a teacher in Lutcher and moved in 1964 to San Diego, where she taught physical education in the public schools until 1980.
In 1965, she founded "Mickey's Missiles," a track club for girls 6 to 18. Boys joined the group several years later. It grew from three members its first year to more than 125 and produced Olympic sprinters Jackie Thompson, who competed in the 200-meter race in 1972, and Dennis Mitchell, who ran in the 100-meter dash in 1988, 1992 and 1996.
Besides developing track and field talent, Mrs. Patterson-Tyler often said one of her goals was to promote good harmony among racial groups in a setting that mixed competition and camaraderie. She coached more than 5,000 young people and had, in her words, "an impeccable record for developing athletes, physically, mentally and spiritually."
She managed the U.S. women's track team that toured the Soviet Union and Germany in 1969 and coached the team that competed against a Russian squad in Texas in 1974. In 1982, she founded the Martin Luther King Freedom Run in San Diego.
She was a past first vice president of the Amateur Athletic Union, a director of the Pacific Southwest Association and the YMCA, a governor of the Western District of the National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women, and a member of the Urban League, NAACP and 1984 Olympic Spirit Team.
She received the San Diego Woman of the Year and Press Club Headliner awards. She is also a member of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame.
She died in 1996 at the age of 69.

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Sep 8, 2012.
QuestionI am a new Sarasota, FL resident. I have never used a CPA, but feel I now need one to transition my residency from VA to FL. How do I screen CPAs to select the best for my needs?
That depends on the services you are seeking. Some basic steps to select a quality advisor, such as a CPA/PFS, are as follows:
1) Focus on qualifications, not the best sales pitch. The personal dynamic certainly can play a role during your screening. However, the more objective your process, the better. Fees should also be disclosed.
2) Request all information that would influence your selection decision in writing, such as, credentials, compliance record, certifications, experience, licensing, etc.
3) Use the internet and online lists, such as www.findacpapfs.org to locate and research the CPAs you would like to interview.
4) Interview several advisors with a 2 meeting process. That way you should be able to identify differences in the services provided to determine the best fit for your needs. Develop a list of questions and send it to the CPA/PFS's in advance so you are both prepared for the interviews, limiting the time to 1 hour per meeting. Make sure they are aware of the time limit and answer every question.
5) Make your final decision by focusing on advisor competence, ethics, and business practices. The more objective you are throughout the entire process, the better chance you will have of selecting the best professional for your needs.
Best wishes with your search and relocation.
