YORK, PA – The York College men's tennis team dropped their season straight as they fell to the University of Mary Washington, 6-3, in a Capital Athletic Conference match on a brisk Friday afternoon in York.
The Eagles improve to 3-0 in the CAC and 7-6 overall while the Spartans fall to 8-5 overall and 0-2 in the league.
Mary Washington took the two doubles matches that were contested by identical 8-1 counts. The Spartans were awarded a point at the third doubles, as the Eagles didn't field a duo to compete.
The Eagles earned straight set wins in the first four singles matches. The Spartans did pick up a win in the fifth singles match as Jake Greenstein (Morris Plains, N.J./Parsippany Hills) notched a 6-3, 6-0 win over Sean Gould. Daniel Erk (Leonardtown, Md./Leonardtown) was awarded a win in the sixth singles match as he won by forfeit.
The Spartans are now off for eight days. They return to action on Saturday, March 23 when they host future CAC rival Southern Virginia in a non-conference meet. The match is slated for a 1:00 pm start.

Monday afternoon the children and I arrived home from two weeks in Washington. Cerys and Keiran attended the American Youth Circus Organization Festival in Seattle while I traveled to my dad's home to help him sort out his house. He wants to spend a third of the year with his three children and rent his house out. In between helping him I thrifted to my hearts content in my old thrifting grounds. I fell in love again with Goodwill. You Washington thrifters have it soooooo good. Every Goodwill that I walked into I came out with some great inventory. Down here, it's a rare day when I can find anything to sell. You. Are. So. Lucky!
It was a very hard week because my dad and I had many boxes of old memories to go through. We sorted items to donate, to sell at a flea market (down here) and other items to give to family members. Saturday we took some time off to go to a couple estate sales and then stumbled upon (by accident) a country auction. It was the best part of the entire trip. My dad was so funny, shaking his head at me every time I held up my number to bid on something. My van was packed full by the time I left with a little room for Keiran in the back.
What I learned this summer is that I just can't balance everything. I can't do it all. This summer I barely was able to sell on eBay and if I did have any work time available it was to work on inventory to take down to the Antique Society. My work head doesn't do very well with constant interruptions. This homestead takes so much effort to look after especially since I'm mostly doing it by myself. Therefore this blog took to the back burner.
Keiran started school today (not a day too soon!) and Cerys starts on Sept 3. I hope that when they are both in school I can try to find a balance that gives me enough free time and motivation to continue with ATG on a regular basis. I've missed writing and sharing and taking part in our thrifting community.
Here's to a productive and thrift filled Autumn.

All seemed fine but in phpmyadmin I could see that the DB hadn't been created. Even tough it was created in ISPconfig. Then I got a couple of calls and I had to go. But I didn't.. I tried a couple of thing first (I messed up)... I changed the mysql password in the : nano /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/lib/config.inc.php That did not help. Then I changed the password of ispconfig in users -> ispconfig db. All wrong.. I know.. How the ..... do I go about fixing this? I don't want to screw up anything else. Now I can't login to ISPconfig or my mail. I can login to phpmyadmin and via ssh..

He was 16 and a half and we adopted him when he was three after his first elderly owner died. He was a mess and three other people had adopted and returned him due to behavioral problems when we got him. We saw a loving dog-boy in need of rules and some psychological help in order to remove the anxiety that plagued him then. Every moment of care for him was repaid abundantly in love and happiness.
He was a funny and very playful boy who loved almost everyone he met, especially older people and other terriers. Somehow, he knew when a person needed comforting and go lean against their leg. He was a natural therapy dog.
When he met other terriers nature kicked in. He'd give those terriers a play-bow and off they'd go doing their terrier thing! At home, he'd go pick a toy from his toy basket and bring it over to us and give it a toss. Game on!
When he was out with my husband, upon their return he'd run in the house, find me and jump up on the chair or bed, say hello, and then run to his water dish. (Our dog, not the husband.) Oh sure, other dogs do all that stuff but it's special to us because he was our boy.
I hope that you've loved a dog at some time, or a cat too. (He really did not like cats and thought they were just another elaborate toy to be chased!)
We miss him.

LONDON (Reuters) - Bank of England policymakers said on Tuesday they would press ahead quickly with a new curb on banks' risk exposure and would not be deflected by industry lobbying against the plan.
Paul Tucker, the central bank's deputy governor for financial stability, told British lawmakers that the new rule, which would require UK banks to meet a limit on lending as a proportion of their capital, should be introduced now.
Ratcheting up the pressure on banks, Tucker said lobbying was "completely unacceptable", pointless and regulators would not be deflected "one iota" from their tasks.
Some bankers have complained that demands they build up capital levels run counter to calls from the government and the Bank of England that they lend more in order to boost the country's slow economic recovery.
Andrew Bailey, another BoE deputy governor who is in charge of prudential regulation, also said he wanted the rule in place as soon as possible and that BoE staff were looking at plans submitted by banks for how they could implement it.
"We have made clear that we will go through these with the public, with the institutions during the course of this month. And we will publish. We will make clear what the outcome of that is," Bailey told parliament's Treasury Committee.
There had been "slippage" in the progress of British banks building up their capital buffers, Bailey added.
Britain's Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), which Bailey heads, said on June 20 that it would set a leverage ratio of 3 percent for UK banks, as required under Basel III international capital rules by January 2018, which would limit the amount they can lend relative to their capital.
The leverage ratio measures capital against total loans and some bankers argue the new plan would penalize low-risk, high-volume businesses like trade finance and mortgage lending.
The PRA has said that Barclays (BARC.L), one of Britain's biggest banks, has a leverage ratio of 2.5 percent after adjustments, for example.
Nationwide bank also fell short while Britain's other major lenders were at or above the 3 percent mark. Some UK lawmakers have pressed for a higher ratio and Bailey said 3 percent was the "minimum baseline".
The Federal Reserve said on Tuesday that it would propose a minimum leverage ratio of above 3 percent for U.S. banks.
Some UK bankers have said they were surprised by the decision to push for the new requirement now, nearly five years ahead of an internationally agreed deadline.
Barclays warned on Friday it may have to cut lending if it is forced to act quickly to meet the new financial target.
But Martin Taylor, a member of the BoE's risk watchdog, the Financial Policy Committee (FPC) and a former Barclays chief executive, said there should be no surprise and that the habit of lobbying was not easy to break.
"I wouldn't have dared lobby government. The (BoE) governor would have filleted me ... The reason why we are hearing the banks squawking so loudly at the moment is that the PRA under Andrew Bailey is being effective," Taylor said.
Mervyn King, a few days before he stepped down as governor of the Bank of England, last week accused British banks of lobbying senior politicians to undermine the push for more regulation.
Bailey said he had been reassured by the government that it considered the PRA to be independent as a bank supervisor.
"We are certainly aware that there are conversations that happened between the banks and officials and ministers," he said. "The thing that concerns me is that we are trying to build, frankly, a transparent process that has accountability in it."
The FPC has ordered annual stress tests of UK banks from 2014 and Tuesday's grilling by lawmakers signaled there was still debate inside the committee over whether and to what extent the results should be published.

Buche de Noel (Yule-log) recipe and a giveaway!!
Hi All!!! Hope all my readers, friends and followers are keeping happy and healthy! After a very long and regretful break from blogging, I am back with a wonderful Yule-log creation from last year's Christmas meal. The break from blogging was not planned at all, it just got long as a combined result of a busy work schedule and no free time! But I am glad that I am back and I am excited to share this recipe and images with you all.
Also, I am excited to announce that in a week, my blog will turn 4 years old! Happy Birthday dear blog!! If you love my blog and is a regular reader, please leave me a message on this post, and I will be awarding two lucky winners a modest $15 gift card of your choice from Target/Home Goods/Michaels/Amazon as part of my blog's 4th Birthday celebrations. I will choose the winners on Feb 12th and the winners will be chosen in a random lucky draw. Please leave your email id as part of your comment.
This recipe for the assembled yule-log was compiled from two different websites. The raspberry chocolate sponge cake recipe was taken from joyofbaking, but the actual recipe is by Rose Levy Beranbaum's 'Cake Bible'. The website also had a recipe for yule-log, but I wanted to make a dressed up yule-log, with the textured bark look, completed with mushrooms and beautiful holly leaves and berries.
I found what I was looking for in this post. I loved how textured the surface looked, and also since it had directions of making marzipan mushrooms, rather than meringue mushrooms, I was ecstatic!!
Let me tell you that it makes for a very light and airy dessert!!! The actual sponge cake roll was very light, and not dense at all. The cake was the "melt-in-your-mouth" kind and using raspberry whipped cream as filling finished it off perfectly. It was not an extremely sweet dessert either. In the end, it left you feeling good, and satisfied. The chocolate ganache bark would give a little bit of sweetness to the log, but since I used bittersweet dark chocolate, it didn't add a lot of sweetness! The marzipan mushrooms added a fun look to the log, and the holly leaves and berries made from fondant, added a splash of color to the ultimate christmas dessert!!! It definitely was fun and easy to make this dessert and I enjoyed every single minute of it!
Try this yule log and you will be sure to impress your guests. I baked and filled the sponge cake the day before the party. I made the ganache on the day of the party, let it cool slightly in the fridge (keep a watchful eye, if its too think, it will be hard to spread). I spread the slightly thickened ganache on the cool log, and as it set a little bit, marked the surfaces (drag the tines of the fork along the length of the log) with a fork, to create the texture. The holly leaves were made from fondant, cut out with a petal cutter, and then the edges were cut using a piping tip to make it shaped like holly leaves. The berries were made out of fondant as well. Assemble the log and sprinkle some confectioner's sugar using a sieve to resemble freshly fallen snow to complete the look.
Hope you all enjoyed the post and the tips! Don't forget to leave a comment, to be one of the two lucky winners of my blog's 4th birthday giveaway!! I hope to keep writing and to receive the support of all my readers!!
Enjoy the superbowl, and have a great week ahead!

text: Permanent Shutter of Three BPI Plants Troubles Iowa Governor May 8, 2012 03:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Julianne Johnston Pro Farmer Digital Managing Editor Email Twitter Three plants in Iowa, Kansas and Texas that made lean, finely textured beef (LFTB) are closing permanently because of plummeting sales over concerns about the ingredients, the South Dakota-based manufacturer announced. Beef Product Inc. says 650 workers in Amarillo, Texas; Garden City, Kan.; and Waterloo, Iowa, will lose their jobs May 25. Iowa Governor Terry Branstad says he is saddened by the news. "This is a sad day for the state of Iowa. The fact that a false, misleading smear campaign can destroy a company's reputation overnight should disturb us all. My office will never stop fighting for every single job in this state, and I continue to hope that as consumers learn about this safe, healthy and lean product, they will understand what a great product lean, finely textured beef truly is," he said. "Unfortunately, we have learned that what a ruinous smear campaign accomplishes overnight can take years to correct. I want those workers who now face the daunting task of finding a new job to know that my administration will always fight for them. Today they go home to their families and will soon be without a job, all because some media on the coasts decided to unfairly and viciously smear the product they so proudly produced," added Branstad.

So much has already happened to start 2011; so many opportunities and reasons, so many catalysts to encourage us to take a fresh look at life with both un-jaundiced eyes and mind. We're receiving wake-up calls that prompt us to ask the long stifled question, "where do we go from here? Can we do better? Can we live better? Can we heal and be well?"
The word "shocking" has become the unexpected intruder in the unfolding history of this young year. Unexpected perhaps, but the events are all catalysts for each of us to ask probing questions.
With birds falling from the sky and fish die offs in the U.S. and around the world…
We search for causes, offering everything from fireworks and cold weather to HAARP emissions and the loop current as the answer…
But the mystery lingers…
Mystery, i.e., our inability to make sense out of a phenomenon, experience, or concept with understandings presently thought to be true, serves as reminders that we don't know everything yet, and catalysts to stay open and keep asking questions.
We must ask questions if we are to change our attitudes, to change our behavior, and hence, our experience.
We don't question human behavior nearly enough. In fact, we oftentimes tell ourselves that we (or they) can't change. However, there's a big difference between "can't" and won't. The only way to know the difference, is accepting that positive change is possible. The alternative, is to go dumb, or numb.
Then, just when we become comfortable in our numbness to bad news, another event happens close to home that we just can't ignore, making us ask questions again.
My heart goes out to those who were involved in, and affected by the shooting of U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson (1/8/2011), which is just down the road from me.
As much as we wish her a speedy and full recovery, who among us is ready to send healing wishes to the man who pulled the trigger? Is he not, and was he not already in dis-ease?
Is he not "one of our own" too?
Are we ready to celebrate the heroes and disown the villains, locking them up and throwing away the key, or putting them to death?
How's that working for us?
Would it be better to punish him? Or would it be better to help him heal his heart so that we know that the "red zone enmity" that he sunk to won't happen again from him?
If we can help him heal, then can we help other "red zone cases" that currently fill our prisons?
If we heal just one such man or woman, then a blessing can emerge from this chaotic mess.
(Hint, it won't happen via prescription medication or surgery.)
If we seek to punish alone, we'll get more of the same.
Every moment, every event, and every experience that is not to our liking is a catalyst to ask the question; "is there another way of seeing and responding, that I might realize a new quality of change? Can healing come from this?" These are personal questions that can affect humanity as a whole.
Even the most tragic moments have within them the seeds of the greatest blessings and beginnings. They will grow based on the environment that we create around them. If we create an environment that nurtures greatness and actually heals dis-ease of all involved, then the fruits of our choices will eventually nourish us.
Asking the right questions and making inspired choices are the first steps that each of us can take.
I reach out to the people of Australia's heartlands, who are experiencing Mother Nature's power first hand. This is not vengeance, but her need to "adjust" her settings. Brace yourselves for something wonderful; the new lives that you can create in your new world.
I reach out to the people of Haiti. You were suffering from life before the events of January 12, 2010, only to see a bad situation turn worse in the ensuing year. My heart goes out to you.
Will you search within your own heart and allow heaven to emerge from your hell?
Money only brings palliative relief, and even that will be for a few. Only love can cure what ails you.
To my fellow U.S. citizens on the Gulf Coast who still endure the effects of the chemical desecration that was the Gulf Oil Spill treatment chosen by BP and the U.S. Government. A corporate decision made a bad situation worse, and efforts are still being made to cover it up.
Even as you cope with the tell-tale and obvious signs of disease, please know that you can heal yourselves, your children, and communities. If you do, you can show others the way.
To those around the world whose countries are torn asunder by war, whether cultural, civil and political, please know that peace is at hand; and that it begins with and through you. Will you make your desire to break the cycle of tragedy your reason to treat others the way you want to be treated, instead of reason to prey on innocents?
To those who are in poverty. If you don't see a wonderful bounty that is available just for you at the expense of no one else, then imagine it into being. Imagine yourself joyfully being part of its growth.
To those who populate our jails, please forgive us for shunning and fearing you. We have made you our problem. Let those who are ready to treat others as human, even in an inhumane place, raise their thoughts and set a new course of intention. You are where you are for a reason. Only by owning the choices that you made to get there, will you gain the power to liberate yourself, even while behind bars. What is the true warden, but fear?
We complain about the darnedest things. We see our troubles as the worst there could ever be. Yet, we don't know jack about troubles. Someone, somewhere always is experiencing something that would immediately make us feel grateful for the troubles that we have, and maybe even consider that we can fix them.
The world that we live in is one of our creation. Limited resources and availability, haves and have-nots, poor and rich, heroic and villainous, healthy and diseased, are all states of one humanity, and we are all capable of experiencing any or all of these expressions. We are also able to change any, if we ask heart-felt questions, and are willing to see new ways.
Take a look at the image… how do you see it? Is the sun rising? or is it setting?
The answer depends on your point of view, which only you can change.

But in datacenters, where storage requirements are measured in petabytes, not terabytes, flash must be used opportunistically. Despite the claims of some solid-state proponents, the all-flash datacenter is still years from becoming a reality, as described in InformationWeek's 2014 State of Storage report. But the price per bit differential between flash and disk is narrowing, albeit from a very wide gap, meaning it's rational and economical to use SSDs in more and more applications.
There are four major categories of flash product: server-side PCIe cards and SSDs, hybrid flash-HDD storage arrays, and all-flash systems using either SSDs or proprietary memory cards. The State of Storage survey found that 40% of respondents make use of SSDs in arrays, up 8 points since 2013.
However, all-flash arrays are still a niche, deployed by only 16%, with a mere 3% using them extensively. Thirty-nine percent of respondents use solid state in servers, up 10 points, with the vast majority (83%) opting for SSDs over PCIe adapters. But server deployments are still selective, with almost two-thirds of respondents using solid state in no more than 20% of their servers.
Flash Use Cases
The various product categories lead to several flash usage scenarios: as server-side application caches, as part of hybrid flash-disk storage volumes for a mix of application types, or as a dedicated tier for high-throughput, low-latency applications. Indeed, the InformationWeek survey found that databases are the most common application for solid- state storage.
Given the potential for dramatic performance improvements, it's tempting to move most transactional applications with heavy disk I/O onto all-flash systems. However, this only makes sense if the data set is relatively small and the ratio of data reads to writes is high. Smaller data sets are important since flash is still 10- to 30-times more expensive than disk, while read-heavy applications reduce the significance of the other major flaws of flash storage.
Those flaws include an asymmetry in read versus write performance, the fact that performance degrades as flash devices fill up (due to the design of NAND chips requiring data be written in pages), and limited endurance, particularly in MLC devices used in high-capacity SSDs, as measured by the number of write cycles flash memory cells can reliably deliver.
The performance of all-flash storage systems like those from Cisco (Whiptail), EMC (XtremIO), IBM (Texas Memory) and Violin, which can top a million IOPs for random reads, can't be beat. And for database applications, where every extra IOP makes a big difference, or workloads such as VDI that are subject to extreme performance spikes (think Monday morning boot storms), they make great sense.
Hybrid Storage Arrays
However, the sweet spot for flash is the hybrid array, a hot product category where flash acts as a performance accelerant for large pools of disk. Nimble, Tegile and Tintri are some of the storage companies offering hybrid arrays.
Much like a hybrid car where the electric motor handles demanding start/stop driving much more efficiently than a gasoline engine but only over a limited range, hybrid arrays provide just enough flash memory for the workloads that need them, which Nimble's VP of Marketing Radhika Krishnan estimates at between 10% and 40%. Hybrid designs allow independent scaling storage capacity and I/O throughput and hence yield a much lower total cost for workloads needing more than about 700 IOPs per TB of storage.
[Read more about how enterprises and cloud providers are finding SSDs to be an increasingly attractive low-power, faster storage option in "Solid-State Storage: On The Road To Datacenter Domination."]
Software enhancements can make some hybrid systems even more compelling. Many incorporate deduplication of primary storage that can reduce the data footprint by 5:1 or more, depending on the data type.
Likewise, some can dynamically vary the amount of flash allocated to a specific volume without disrupting underlying applications, moving workloads from HDD to flash in under a millisecond in the case of Nimble's Cache Accelerated Sequential Layout (CASL) technology. This allows swapping out HDDs for SDDs to maintain a given performance level if an array's application workload becomes much more I/O intensive. But choosing the optimal ratio of flash to disk can be tricky.
In the future, flash allocation decisions will be automated as large pools of disk and flash are dynamically assigned to virtualized cloud-like workloads based on a real time assessment of their performance. Indeed, Google is already doing just this via its Janus flash provisioning system. In a paper presented at last year's USENIX Technical Conference, Google engineers described a system that samples running applications and generates metrics about their cacheability.
"From these metrics, we formulate and solve an optimization problem to determine the flash allocation to workloads that maximizes the total reads sent to the flash tier, subject to operator-set priorities and bounds on flash write rates," they wrote.
Using test results from production workloads across several data centers, the engineers found that the algorithm improved the flash hit rate by 47–76% over a scheme using fixed flash allocations in an unpartitioned tier. In one test, the workloads averaged about 3.33 PB and flash usage fluctuated between 45TB and 100 TB over two-day test span, however the algorithm managed to keep flash read rates at within about 10% to20% of 30k IOPs, with a flash hit rate of just over 23% by varying the flash allocation between 60 and 100 TB. This type of 35:1 ratio of capacity to flash allocation demonstrates the kind of return on investment hybrid designs can provide.

EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers returned to the ice Wednesday after 12 days off for the Olympic break, several of them with red faces either from sun tanning or the hard bike riding that was part of the mini training camp/conditioning session they were put through.
"It feels a lot shorter than it was," said veteran defenceman Andrew Ference, who spent part of the break with his family in Canmore, Alta., visiting former Olympians Thomas Grandi and Sara Renner. "But it's a really good chance to get rid of all the little aches and pains."
Ference said it has to be remembered that with back-to-back condensed seasons – last year because of the lockout – players need the break both mentally and physically.
"The last calendar year I think I played 110 or 120 games, so it's a much welcomed break."
It was a break that came with the Oilers suddenly having found their game in the midst of another disastrous, non-playoff season. They went into the Olympic break having won five of their previous seven games – one of the losses was in overtime – and outscoring their opponents 18-12.
Their previous 10 games before the break – the statistic the NHL keeps – showed them at 5-3-2, a record that put them in the middle of the pack, unlike the 29th place they are in with their overall record of 20-33-7.
"It is tough from that aspect," forward Jordan Eberle said of the untimely break. "Some of the GM's around the league have been complaining, some of the teams were going well and then you get this break. It's almost like a new season starting.
"But, for me personally, I feel you get re-energized, with a little more jump and a little more excitement to play, like you did in camp. I feel really energized and ready to play."
Like many of the players, Eberle took a vacation away from the game, away from Edmonton and away from winter. But not away from working out.
"Yeah I went away but I definitely worked out," he added. "I knew today was going to be a tough day. It was just a bit of a skate but most of the stuff was in the gym and it was tough."
Ference said the players were put through a tough physical that included a hard bike ride but said everybody looked fine.
"Nobody was puking."
Veteran Ryan Smyth said it would have been nice to be playing in the Olympics again, but he appreciated the great family time he had in Mexico. And as a player turning 38 on Friday, he said "any time you get some rest for the body to recuperate, it will really help."
While players made sure they stayed physically active and in shape, they were able to mentally turn off the game and enjoy some rare family time.
"Your mind is a little off on vacation so you give yourself a break there," said Eberle, second on the Oilers scoring with 45 points. "But as far as your body you have to make sure you're still able to come back and play 22 games. So everyone took their mind away from the game, which is a good thing.
"I went on vacation somewhere hot and your mind is so out of it that you think, wow, I have to come back and play hockey? But as soon as you get to Edmonton, see the snow on the ground, it changes pretty quickly. I got on the ice, felt pretty excited to get back. It's almost like a new season here."
The Oilers resume play Feb. 27 at home against the Minnesota Wild.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Laura Watson scored four goals and added an assist in leading MIT (3-1) to a 21-3 victory over St. Joseph College (Conn.), at Jack Barry Field, Tuesday night. Kelsey Presson and Amanda Hunter scored three goals a piece for the Engineers, who outshot the Blue Jays, 55-12.
MIT was firing on all cylinders from the opening whistle. Scoring 12 times in the first 14 minutes, the Engineers employed their entire bench in defeating St. Joseph. A season-high 11 different players lit the lamp for the Cardinal and Gray, including Teagan Andres, Elizabeth Lin, Lauren Nowierski and Margaret Gentile, who all scored their first goal of the campaign.
The Engineers expanded their 13-2 halftime lead in the second, scoring eight times. Tech surrendered a goal to Meg Fuller just 25 seconds into the second half, her third of the game, before shutting the door on the Blue Jays attack.
Making the transition from the pond to the turf, MIT hockey teammates Amanda Hunter and Mary Harding enjoyed breakout games for the lax unit. Harding set up Hunter on back-to-back goals late in the game, the latter clinching a natural hat trick for the MIT sophomore. Harding had arguably the best game of the day, scoring two goals and three assists, while collecting eight ground balls, causing four turnovers and posting five draw controls.

Two years ago, Brevard Middle School's choral music teacher, Rivers Smith, sat down with his chorus members to set goals for the coming years. One of those goals was to be invited to sing at the N.C. Music Teachers Association conference.
Two years ago, Brevard Middle School's choral music teacher, Rivers Smith, sat down with his chorus members to set goals for the coming years. One of those goals was to be invited to sing at the North Carolina Music Teachers Association conference.
On Monday, Smith and his students will realize that goal. It is the only chorus in the state invited to perform at this year's conference, an honor that Smith and his singers take seriously.
"We still have our normal routines in class, but I have seen a heightened attention to detail and awareness of the moment in the students," Smith said. "I am so proud of the kids, and I see that pride in their eyes."
Getting to the conference was "a process," he said. "The chorus had to consistently receive superior ratings at state music performance adjudications, (and) then we were selected as a chair's choice from last year's adjudication in Hickory and received a special invitation to apply for the performance.
"We sent in a recording of three songs of varying styles and an application to a judging committee and were awarded the performance."
Being chosen has given the group "extra focus," he said.
The students in the performance are in the seventh and eighth grades.
"We are singing 11 songs. The music represents various styles and genres, from traditional folk songs, to spirituals to a cappella jazz, and even modern syncopated pieces and pieces in Latin," Smith said.
He added that he "tried to incorporate various styles and levels of difficulty because we are performing for music teachers attending a continuing education state conference."
As a music educator, Smith said he has "really enjoyed" listening to the conference concerts in the past, and he has "gotten a lot of ideas from the previous groups. My hope is that the teachers who hear us will not only enjoy the concert but get some great ideas for repertoire they can take back to their home choirs."
This is the first time Brevard Middle has been chosen to perform at the conference.
"I am glad that they are getting recognition for their hard work, and I am proud to represent one part of the extraordinary work done every day by the teachers and students at Brevard Middle School and schools all across this state."
"These kids are ready for the performance. The hard work is done, and we are ready for the celebration performance on Nov. 11," he said.

Elaprase, a large molecular protein, is not expected to cross the blood brain barrier when administered intravenously. A revised formulation of idursulfase, idursulfase-IT, that differs from that of the intravenous (IV) formulation, Elaprase, has been developed to be suitable for delivery into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) via intrathecal administration.
This extension study of HGT-HIT-045 is designed to collect long-term safety data in pediatric patients with Hunter syndrome and cognitive impairment who are receiving intrathecal idursulfase-IT and intravenous Elaprase enzyme replacement therapy.

The number of homes statewide sold for more than $5 million reached an all-time high last year, while those selling at a million dollars or more rose to the highest level since 2007 last year, a real estate information service has reported.
Cash buyers, an upturn in home prices and the recovering economy played a role in the increase, as did a year-end rush among the wealthy to take advantage of lower capital gains taxes by closing before year end.
Across California, 697 homes sold for more than $5 million compared to the previous high of 491 in 2011.
The 26,993 homes sold at $1-million-plus represented a 26.9% jump from 2011, according to San Diego-based DataQuick. In comparison, 42,502 home sales exceeded the million-dollar mark in 2007, before the mortgage meltdown dragged down home prices across the housing market.
The record was set in 2005, when 54,773 homes sold for a million dollars or more. The luxury market outpaced overall sales, which were up 8.2% statewide.
"It should go without saying that buyers and sellers in the prestige market tend to respond to different motivations and incentives than the rest of the market," John Walsh, DataQuick president, said in a press release. "Job security, down payment sizes and mortgage interest rates don't play the same role. Returns on investments in a low interest-rate financial environment and safe-haven investing do play a role."
Hillsborough claimed top spot with 422 sales at $1-million-plus. Southern California communities with the most $1 million-plus sales included Manhattan Beach, Newport Beach, La Jolla, Brentwood, Beverly Hills and Laguna Beach.
Cash buyers accounted for a record 7,791 of the million-dollar home sales, up from 5,802 in 2011.
The most expensive transaction to appear in public records was the $117.5-million sale of an 8,930-square-foot mansion on nine acres in the Northern California community of Woodside.
Among top sales locally last year was Oracle Corp. head Larry Ellison's purchase of a three-structure, copper-roofed compound along Malibu's Carbon Beach for $36.944 million.
Almost all home sales in the communities of Ross in Marin County; San Marino and Santa Monica in Los Angeles County; Los Altos in Santa Clara County; Atherton and Hillsborough in San Mateo County; and Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego County were in $1-million-plus territory.

The Cotton Forum, two days of marketing education sandwiched around a professional baseball game, will be held in New York City, July 6-7, at the New York Board of Trade in lower Manhattan.
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a mock trading session on NYBOT's trading floor on the afternoon of July 6 before heading out that evening to Shea Stadium for a baseball game between the Mets and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
On July 7, at NYBOT, a panel of experts will bring cotton producers up to date on the latest cotton fundamentals and provide an outlook for the future and pricing strategies for cotton producers.
Special guest speaker at the event is Joe Nicosia, president and CEO, Allenberg Cotton Co., Memphis. Other panelists include O.A. Cleveland, professor emeritus, Mississippi State University, Carl Anderson, Extension specialist emeritus, Texas A&M University, Jarral Neeper, vice-president, marketing, Calcot, Mike Stevens, Swiss Financial Services and Pat McClatchy, executive director, Ag Market Network.
Larry Ward, a cotton and peanut producer from Atmore, Ala., was one of a dozen or so cotton producers attending the Cotton Forum in New York City last year. He said the mock trading session "was a great learning experience."
As for real trading in NYBOT's cotton pit, which is open from 10:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m., Monday through Friday, Ward said, "It gives you a feeling for where the market is heading that day. You instantly know what's going on in the market."
Yazoo City, Miss., producer Rob Coker, who raises cotton, corn and soybeans, said the Cotton Roundtable "gave me a first-hand look at the market conditions and where prices were headed."
The mock trading session "was very enjoyable and made me realize I'm glad I'm a producer and not a trader. It's amazing that they can think on their feet as quickly as they do."
"Growers know what happens to an order between them and the broker," said Pat McClatchy, executive director of the Ag Market Network, a sponsor of the event. "But they don't know how it's processed when the order comes in to New York, how it gets into the hands of the broker and the bidding and offering that goes back and forth.
"Farmers have told us that the No. 1 area where they need help is in marketing," McClatchy said. "The more educated a farmer can be in the area of marketing, the better off he'll be."
There is still time to reserve a place on the roster. But space is limited. Call McClatchy at 1-888-795-8071 for registration or more information.
You don't have to be in New York to listen to the Cotton Roundtable. The meeting will be broadcast live on the NYBOT Web site at http://www.nybot.com and by teleconference to the Ag Market Network listening audience. The program will also be carried by KFLP radio, which covers the west Texas area. It's also available live at http://www.kflp.net, on a 10-second delay. Questions for the meeting will be accepted from the listening audience.
An archive of the roundtable will be available at http://www.nybot.com and http://www.agmarketnetwork.net. The Cotton Forum is sponsored by the New York Board of Trade, Certified FiberMax, Cotton Incorporated, Ag Market Network and Farm Press Publications.

Cowboys Hot Shooting from Deep Keys 68-48 Win over Nevada
A balanced scoring attack, with three players in double figures, combined with 50 percent shooting from 3-point range helped the Wyoming Cowboys snap a five-game conference losing streak Wednesday night at the Arena-Auditorium. UW defeated the Nevada Wolfpack 68-48, as they won their first MW game since an upset of then #14 San Diego State on January 19.
Leonard Washington said, "I felt like tonight was one of our better defensive nights in the conference play so far. We did what we needed to do and made them take a few tough shots. They made a couple of good shots early in the game, but we just wanted to eliminate that and continue to play hard on defense."
Wyoming (17-7, 3-7) hit 9 three's, shot 71.4 percent in the second half, took advantage of 16 Nevada turnovers and snagged 11 steals. Washington scored 16 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for his 10th double-double this season. Derrious Gilmore followed with 15 points and Josh Adams has 12. UW shot 23-43 (53.5%) from the field, 9-18 (50%) from beyond the arc and went 13-20 (65%) on free throws. They out-rebounded the Wolfpack 27-23.
Nevada (12-12, 3-7) was led by Deonte Burton with 13 points, Malik Story had 11 and Kevin Panzer chipped in 10. They shot 19-43 (44.2%) on field goals, were 5-12 (41.7%) from 3 and 5-8 (62.5%) at the charity stripe.
Wyoming knocked down a pair of 3-pointers to start the second stanza and never led by less than 11 points the rest of the game. Their largest lead was at 59-36 with 7:17 to play on a Gilmore 3-pointer.
Head coach Larry Shyatt said the separation came two ways, "We knocked in some 3's, which is a pleasure to see, and from a couple of really good defensive series."
Three straight 3-point field goals keyed a 14-4 run over the last 6:38 of the first half and gave the Cowboys a 29-19 lead at halftime. Sobey hit two straight 3's followed by an Adams 3 that broke a 15-15 tie. Sobey had nine points in the first half, all on 3's, as the Pokes went 5-of-10 from deep.
Sobey said, "I'm always ready for whenever my team needs me to come off the bench. Credit to my team and the coaches for I was in the right spot at the right time."
This was the Pokes largest conference win since a 23-point victory over CSU back in 2002.
Wyoming returns to action Saturday at the AA, as they host the Fresno State Bulldogs. The Cowboys lost their first meeting on the road a month ago and will seek revenge with a 2 p.m. tip-off. You can listen to Cowboy basketball on Y95 Country, as coverage will begin at 1:30 p.m. Cowboy Talk, with host David Settle, will follow the broadcast.

Han Chinese clothing, or Hanfu (汉服, literally "Clothing of the Han
people") refers to the traditional clothing of the Han Chinese, the
predominant ethnic group of China. Hanfu (or Hanfu Clothing, Hanfu
Clothes) was regarded by Han Chinese as a very important part of their
culture. The wearing of appropriate styles of Hanfu was an important
part of courteous refined behaviour. Confucius considered Hanfu a very
important part of Chinese ceremony and ritual and many of his quotations
contain references to Hanfu.
The style of Han Chinese clothing can
be summarized as containing garment elements that are arranged in
distinctive and sometime specific ways.Many of the earlier designs
are more gender-neutral and simple in cuttings. Later garments
incorporate multiple pieces with men commonly wearing pants and women
commonly wearing skirts. Clothing for women usually accentuates the
body's natural curves through wrapping of upper garment lapels or
binding with sashes at the waist.

I. The Beginnings of Christian Kabbalah and the Vatican Library
In the summer of 1280, Abraham Abulafia (1240- c. 1291), a Kabbalist who founded the special prophetic or ecstatic version of the Kabbalah, attempted to meet Pope Nicholaus III in Rome. This special effort came as the result of a revelation he had ten years earlier in Barcelona, which presumably consisted in a command to go to Rome at the eve of the Jewish New Year, in a mission reminiscent of Moses' encounter with Pharaoh: namely to discuss issues related to redemption. From the scant information we have, it seems that though Abulafia was not shy to compare himself to Moses, he was more interested in discussing his belief about the nature of authentic Judaism with the Pope, than in the national rescue of the Jews from the burden of Christendom, or in an attempt to convert the Pope, as some scholars have claimed. He believed Judaism to be a mystical religiosity based on pronouncing divine names in order to reach a mystical experience, understood in spiritual redemptive terms. He took a spiritualized Judaism -- constituted by inner experiences which are achieved by a mystical technique – to be a higher form of religion than any of the three monotheistic religions. The Pope was reluctant to see the Kabbalist and retreated for a rest to the beautiful family castle of Soriano nel Cimini, north of Rome. The stubborn Abulafia, who was informed he would be burned if he insisted on following the Pope, nevertheless arrived at the castle, only to learn that the Pope had died of apoplexy that same day.
This non-encounter of a Kabbalist actually eager to see the Pope, and a Pope who otherwise took a keen interest in the spiritual Franciscan faction known as the Minorites, is however not the end of this story. After two weeks of arrest in the house of the Minorites in Rome, Abulafia was released and made his way to Messina, Sicily, then part of the kingdom of Aragon. There he remained active for more than a decade, writing a variety of Kabbalistic books and teaching several Jewish intellectuals, and probably also some Christians, his Kabbalah. This openness by a Kabbalist, who deliberately ignored the interdiction against revealing the Kabbalah even to most Jews, is an important development that should be taken seriously when discussing Jewish esotericism and its vicissitudes. The prophetic Kabbalistic trend remained part and parcel of the Jewish mystical literature in Italy, and a significant component of the nascent Christian Kabbalah in late 15th century Florence.
The translation of some of Abulafia's writings from Hebrew to Latin by Flavius Mithridates was one of the most important factors in the impact of ecstatic Kabbalah on the Italian Renaissance. Mithridates, who called himself inter alia also Guillelmus Raimundo Moncada, was a convert to Christianity, who delivered a lecture in the presence of Pope Sixtus IV. Of Sicilian extraction, Mithridates, the son of a Syrian Jew called Nissim Abul- Faraj, presumably studied Abulafia's Kabbalah in his youth in the island. The special place the ecstatic Kabbalah enjoys in his Latin translations must have something to do with his ability to fathom the rather difficult Hebrew treatises he so skillfully translated. However, his concentration on Latin translations of books of Kabbalah started in a later period of his life -- in 1486 in Florence, years after he left Rome -- and after his visit to the Holy See. Those translations are the fountainhead of the first most important piece of Christian Kabbalah, Giovanni Pico della Mirandola's Conclusiones, which include dozens of theses based on Kabbalistic views. Those 900 Conclusiones were condemned immediately by the Pope, and the young count had to flee Italy. He returned to Florence only when the next Pope, related to the Medici family, was elected. However, most of Flavius Mithridates's Latin manuscripts, which played such an important role in the emergence of Christian Kabbalah, and thus Abulafia's Kabbalistic treatises (in Latin and in a slightly Christianized form) have found their way to the Vatican Library, arriving more than two centuries after their composition. Today they are catalogued as MSS 189-191, together with the Hebrew manuscripts, and a fourth one, as Vatican, Cod. Chigi A. VI.190.
Those are unique manuscripts, autographs of Mithridates. They testify to his sophisticated translations, mistranslations and deliberate glosses and interventions which sometimes change the intention of the Hebrew original, in order to look closer at Christian tenets. They remained there for more than four centuries, before a serious study of their content and an analysis of their impact on Giovanni Pico was undertaken by Prof. Chaim Wirszubski, of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. His groundbreaking inquiry, Pico della Mirandola's Encounter with Jewish Mysticism (Harvard University Press 1987), opens the way for a much more profound understanding of the precise sources of some important aspects of Pico's thought. Wirszubski's fine scholarship (done in Jerusalem under the auspices of the Israeli Academy for Sciences and Humanities) brought some of Abulafia's Kabbalistic visions as mediated by Mitridathes to the attention of the scholarly community. In fact he discovered in the Latin translation an Abulafia work, that had been preserved only in a poor and quite fragmentary form in the original Hebrew.
Let me point out that in addition to the rich material belonging to Mithridates's Latin translations from Abraham Abulafia and his circle, the Vatican collection contains several important treatises of this Kabbalist in their original Hebrew (e.g., Sefer 'Or ha-Sekhel, Sefer ha-'Ot, Sefer Hayyei ha-'Olam ha-Ba'). Even more importantly, the collection houses the lengthiest extant part of one of Abulafia's earliest books, Sefer Mafteah ha-Re'ayon, (Heb. 291), a book not found in this form in any other manuscript. This fragment, written originally in 1273, is quite important for understanding the earliest phase of the thought of this ecstatic Kabbalist. In this sense it is similar to the above-mentioned Latin translation that preserved another book of Abulafia's written in the same year.
If we add to the presence of these manuscripts in the Vatican Library the fact that Abulafia's prophetic books, (some containing quite enigmatic forms of spiritual apocalypses, found in very few manuscripts) are found in the Angelica library – which is outside the scope of Benjamin Richler, ed., Hebrew Manuscripts of the Vatican Library (Città del Vaticano: Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, 2008) – it seems that the written voice of Abulafia's Kabbalah found its way to the Vatican libraries in quite an impressive manner. The recent project of a critical edition of those translations, undertaken by Giulio Busi and Saverio Campanini among others, brings scholarly attention to the basic sources of early Christian Kabbalah.
II. Vatican MS Heb. 202 and the Beginning of Jewish Kabbalah
The Vatican collection contains an important and unique manuscript compiled sometime in the 14th century and copied in a Spanish hand. This manuscript contains a variety of Kabbalistic material stemming from several schools: Provencal, Catalonian, and Castilian forms of Kabbalah. Some of the traditions found there are related to the beginnings of some historical phases of Kabbalah (especially in early decades of the thirteenth century) and served as building stones for the scholarly edifice regarding this period by Prof. Gershom Scholem of the Hebrew University, the famed pioneer of the study of Kabbalah. In this codex Scholem discovered quite early in his career an epistle that was the most important single document supporting his reconstruction of the relations between the Provencal school as represented by Rabbi Isaac Sagi-Nahor, the so-called "father of Kabbalah," and two important younger Rabbis, active in the Catalan city of Gerona, Rabbi Moses ben Nahman (Nahmanides) and his cousin Rabbi Jonah Gerondi. The exchanges between these rabbis concern the disclosure of Kabbalistic issues by other Kabbalists; and the scant data found in the epistle are indispensable testimonies in any attempt to describe the dissemination of Kabbalah from Provence to Catalonia and from there to Castile. This epistle exists in a unique manuscript, and since its publication by Scholem in the thirties and its more detailed analyses in the forties and sixties -- especially in his Origins of the Kabbalah, trans. R.J. Zwi Werblowsky (Princeton University Press, 1989) -- no other similar manuscript of this epistle has been identified. As in the case of the beginning of Christian Kabbalah, here too our understanding of the beginning of the Jewish Kabbalah owes much to unique Vatican manuscripts.
III. Rabbi David ben Yehudah he-Hasid's Hebrew Translations of the Zohar
The most important documents of Kabbalistic literature are indubitably the Zoharic literature. The Zoharic literature, which was written between the late seventies of the 13th century and the early decades of the 14th century in Castile, mostly in Aramaic, was immediately canonized and became the cornerstone for a variety of Kabbalistic schools, especially the mid-16th century Kabbalists who were active in Safed. The processes involved in the emergence of this literature, its authors, its canonization and its various kinds of reception still need extensive research. The Hebrew manuscripts found in the Vatican library may help illuminate some aspects of those processes. Let me offer a major example in this direction.
Two anonymous manuscripts in the Vatican collection, Heb. 62 and 168, contain a Hebrew translation of some Aramaic parts of the Zoharic commentaries on the Pentateuch. Though similar in many ways, each the two manuscripts is also unique. An analysis of the style of the translation and a comparison to segments of other Hebrew translations of Zoharic passages found in the Hebrew writings of Rabbi David ben Yehudah he-Hasid, led me to identify the anonymous translator as this Kabbalist. A late 13th or early 14th century Kabbalist, Rabbi David may well be not only one of the first commentators on this book, but quite plausibly its first translator ever. This means that these two codices can aid us to conjecture about the Aramaic versions underlying the translation. We thus have here the earliest extensive testimonies about the nature of the text of the third most important book in Judaism. Moreover, in some cases in those two manuscripts, the version of the Hebrew translation is accompanied by lengthy Aramaic passages, which may constitute the earliest extensive excerpts from the Zoharic literature to have reached us in the original language. Though some short quotes from this Hebrew translation are found in 16th century Kabbalists, it is only in the two above-mentioned manuscripts that dozens of pages are found.
However, let me point out that there are also other codices in the Vatican collection which may turn into a mine of important information related to the history of the text of the Zohar. Two examples are the anonymous Hebrew translation of the Zohar in Heb. 226 and the texts found in the first part of MS Heb. 203. Both of these deserve special attention by the scholars of the Zohar.
IV. The Byzantine Kabbalah in the Vatican Library
We mentioned above the main Kabbalistic codices in the Vatican that represent developments that in Sicily, Italy, and the Western Europe. However, several important manuscripts found in this library, may contribute to a future history of a rather neglected center of Kabbalistic literature, the Byzantine one. Compared to the Provencal and the Spanish centers, the Byzantine Empire was a relatively late center; and, from the mid-14th century a different form of Kabbalah emerged there.. Its precise conceptual contours, as well as the treatises that were written there, slowly emerge as the scholarship of Kabbalah is advancing. It has become more and more plausible in the last decades that important Kabbalistic treatises were written in the Empire, rather than in Spain or Italy as scholars previously believed. This is the case of some classics of Kabbalah like Sefer ha-Temunah, Sefer ha-Peliyah and Sefer ha-Qanah but there is a plethora of related smaller treatises that were also written in the Byzantine Empire. The Vatican holds several important manuscripts that may fruitfully serve as the starting point for a study of this Kabbalistic center. MSS Heb. 188, 194, 195, 218, 220, 223, are outstanding examples of the arrival of all the major pieces of Byzantine Kabbalah to Italy and the impact this arrival on the nature of Italian Kabbalah during the late 15th century, and also of the Christian Kabbalah since the beginning of the 16th century.
In this context, let me mention two other unique Kabbalistic manuscripts. These relate to a dispute regarding the belief in metempsychosis that took place in the city of Candia, in Crete in the second part of the 15th century. Two lengthy codices, MSS 105 and 254, contain the documents listing the pros and cons of this belief and against it, as reflecting the views of, respectively, Rabbi Michael ha-Kohen Balbo and Rabbi Moshe Ashkenazi. The vast majority of the arguments in this sharp controversy are unknown from any other manuscript. Thus only the Vatican manuscripts may enable a reconstruction of the various debates related to this important type of Kabbalistic belief. This reconstruction was done by a third important Hebrew University scholar, Prof. Efraim Gottlieb. It has been continued more recently in a Ph. D. thesis of Dr. Brian Ogren at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
We may conclude that the variety of the various manuscripts found in the Vatican collections reflects the variety of Kabbalistic literature since its inception up to its peak in the mid-16th century.
In short, I offered above several examples for the indisputable contributions the Kabbalistic manuscripts found in the Vatican collection did contribute in the past for understanding major phases in the history of Kabbalah. The present Catalogue, an excellent example of what a catalogue of Hebrew manuscripts should be, will certainly facilitate the study of additional manuscripts and will enrich our understanding of the evolution of the various forms of this vast literature. We may hope, in an era less interested in philological studies than earlier, that the tradition of close reading of manuscripts in a serious manner, which was a vital part of scholarship at the Hebrew University, will remain a vital component of the future studies of Kabbalah; and the Vatican codices will continue to yield new findings for a better understanding of a vital aspect of medieval Judaism.
V. Thanks for the Free Access
Let me turn to another dimension of the Vatican collection, which is not related to the content of manuscripts but with the politics of access to the Hebrew manuscripts found in this library. When the Institute of Hebrew Manuscripts -- whose researchers were the main contributors to the Catalogue that is celebrated here -- was founded at the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem, many libraries over the world agreed to have their manuscripts microfilmed and consulted free by scholars. However, most of them required researchers to request permission in writing before allowing their manuscripts to be copies or published. Only three libraries out of dozens -- the Vatican in Rome, the Escorial in Spain, and the Cambridge University Library in England -- were ready to give scholars free automatic permission to microfilm, photocopy or publish their manuscripts. For persons acquainted with the inevitable vicissitudes involved in correspondence with libraries in general, (including to be sure the Italian ones), this automatic permission constituted a special act of encouragement to engage these manuscripts. This kind renouncement of the legitimate rights of these libraries facilitated a much easier access to some Kabbalistic manuscripts. That in turn was especially helpful for scholars who -- like myself in the initial stages of my study of Kabbalistic manuscripts -- did not live in Jerusalem,. This explains why in some of my writings I relied upon Vatican manuscripts, even when there are also other manuscripts containing a certain Kabbalistic treatise. Abulafia's major treatise Sefer 'Or ha-Sekhel, found in the Vatican Library Heb. 233 is one case in point. I take this opportunity to thank the Vatican Library, late as these thanks may be, for the generosity that contributed not only my modest studies of the Kabbalistic material, but also of many other scholars, who also benefited from the liberal approach of the directors of the that Library.

The GTX 680 works fantastic for me in CS5.5 and CS6. It has to be added to the cuda_supported_cards.txt file in Premiere You can use two cards in any version of Premiere but only one card can be used for MPE support, but the cards can not be used in SLI, but now that the GTX680 can supprt up to 4 monitor, there is no good reason in Premiere to have two cards
Yes you can use a Quadro and a Tesla card in what nVidia calls "Maximus" mode. This is beneficial for other applications like After Effects if you can afford the C 2075 at $2200! Google for "nVidia Maximus" if you are interested
2. Re: Gtx 680 in CS5.5 and in CS6.0Fabio Pis May 10, 2012 11:40 PM (in response to anat_usa)
I have a gtx680 card and with production premium suite 5.5 has no problems at all.
In my system (I7 980x, boot disk corsair 240 gb force gt, raid 0 xx600 gb velociraptor) the performance is similar to my " old" gtx 580, i Think that cudas are cudas but 1536 is not equal at 3x512 if we compare both cards.Maybe the clock and bus difference are rilevant.
With cs 6 Bill expain very well with premiere pro ( i have minor problem but I 'am trying a trial version). With After effects all is working except the new cuda 3d engine. I'm waiting that adobe supports new cards to upgrade my suite. Now you can hack After effects also, but no support for gtx 680 at this moment.
as a note I have e pci express 2.0 bus system, but I don't know if this is very important for performance.
My advice is:
if you have to built a new system and you need more than two monitors linked, gtx 680 is you choice, if not you could buy a 560 Ti
3. Re: Gtx 680 in CS5.5 and in CS6.0anat_usa May 12, 2012 6:30 AM (in response to Fabio Pis)
How does that card shows it self when working with AVCHD footage? right now i have an old ati hd 4890, and its terrable in any soft i used it, i only recently went into avchd , before i was working with HDV mpeg2 files and after upgrading from core2duo xp pro to i7 950 with that ati card - i had like 2x of performance but now after i got PP 5.52 and started working with avchd - its like a 3 steps back ....
4. Re: Gtx 680 in CS5.5 and in CS6.0Harm Millaard May 12, 2012 6:53 AM (in response to anat_usa)
Your mobo does not support PCIe-3.0 so it will not show any benefit from that interface. It is unlikely that you will see any noticeable performance gain between a GTX 560 Ti and a GTX 680 on that platform. Working with AVCHD material both with CS5.03 and with CS5.52 will show a significant performance degradation with CS5.52 on exporting to MPEG2-DVD, due to changed caching algorithms. This has been solved in CS6.
AVCHD is much more demanding than HDV, so the three steps back is to be expected. The difference between an easy codec and a difficult codec. Also see Adobe Forums: System requirements for CS5
5. Re: Gtx 680 in CS5.5 and in CS6.0RjL190365 May 12, 2012 6:59 AM (in response to Fabio Pis)
Like Harm stated, your mobo does not support PCI-e 3.0. In addition, three times the number of CUDA cores equals three times the GPU performance only if the effective IPCs between the two GPUs being compared are equal and all of the other parameters (such as memory and bus throughput and latency) are proportionately higher on the 1536-core GPU versus a given 512-core GPU. Unfortunately, the GTX 680 is faster - but nowhere near that much faster - than the GTX 580 in large part due to the fact that the total VRAM bandwidth of the two GPUs are almost equal to one another.
6. Re: Gtx 680 in CS5.5 and in CS6.0Fabio Pis May 12, 2012 9:20 AM (in response to RjL190365)
Hello RjL190365,
I specified that my system is Pciex 2.0, but I'm not so sure that 2.0 bandwith is saturated with our softwares but, maybe I am in fault!
I push my system to its limits and I am very satisfied for performance and stability, for me, next step will be an 8 core cpu (not xeon ) if and when it will be available.
I have some doubt that in this period, Adobe and overall Nvidia try to push "professional" card like quadro (maximus system is a proof for me) against less expensive Gpu like geforce series.
It's only my opinion but I see more performance boost in other software that I use for my job like 3dsmax and gpu rendering than my GTX 580 previous gpu. Why? (no need of an answer! )
7. Re: Gtx 680 in CS5.5 and in CS6.0Bill Gehrke May 12, 2012 9:39 AM (in response to RjL190365)
Anyone that expected a three times improvement going to the GTX 680 must not be living in the real technical world! Here are test results on 4 different GPU's on my own private benchmark on MPEG2-DVD and H.264.(the most GPU dependent scores).
There are finite changes that can be gained because of other limiting factors Since, for instance, I do not have a PCIe 3.0 motherboard--yet. . So is it worthwhile upgrading from the two middle boards probably not, but if you are doing a lot of encoding and time is precious to you, you and you alone, will have to decide. This is why back in 2005 I decided Premiere needed an application specific benchmark--hence PPBM was borne. Thanks to Harm's great business background (and technical knowledge) these efforts have now grown and we now have in PPBM5 860 results for you to analyze and guide your computer system design

thks, but no, not really..... as i already know what i am going to buy, the only thing - is that i have a very little info about GPU, and kind of running back and forward , cant make up my mind on what to buy gtx580 or 680
(going to get all intel - 3930k cpu, mother board and ssd for drive c - its kind of an easy chose!)
the only extra thing that i would like to find out about and that is related to the pc acceseries - the Sata pc card with many Sata 3 connectors, so that i could connect many HDD drives.... as i store alot of data and i have to add an extra HDD every 3-6 months
maybe 1 more thing - fan filters ...... somehting that will stop the dust and dirt to come inside my pc box, but in same time will not create a problem for the air to come inside pc box!
i already have chievtec pc box with many HDD bays......

Great Win! even though we blew a 24 point lead that turned into a some what nail-bitter. we played great, except for most of the 4th quarter. adonal actually playing. warriors really really need to practice those freethrows during the break. && we end a losing streak to the clipppers finally, which we should have done the last game we played them. Great hustle warriors!

man that scared the crap out of me. and how amazing was cuttino mobleys trey over dunleavy?
Much needed Win...Props to Fish and Foyle J Rich was spectacular BUT should shoot free throws the whole All Star break, And I also believe Baron having to watch from the sideline will turn out to be a positive thing as long as he is back healthy after the Break Defense,Teamwork,Trust ,Depth and the continued Youth Development are the keys to making the playoff push maybe sprinkle in a little Mullin Magic..
Derek Fisher was a savage! In his 6 starts this season, he's averaging 17.5 points and 6.5 assists! Whenever the Warriors need somebody to step up during an absense, he always seems ready. Major props to Fisher for scoring 20+ two games in a row! And, in both of the last two games, he's been one assist away from a double-double (which is a big thing for Fish... he hasn't gotten one in 8 years). Good play!
