Covers 2010-06-21 to 2010-06-28
Corresponding Draft Schedule Item:
Create the RPC framework that can call functions on the GPP side from the DSP and return values back to the DSP. Implement and unit-test the POSIX function wrappers according to the planned order.
Status and Accomplishments
DSP->GPP RPC code is now integrated into the C6Run sources and works fine alongside with the regular C6RunApp C I/O calls. The RPC layer is compiled/linked together with the user-provided sources for now as putting them into the C6Run library caused some strange problems (see issues section).
the GPP side RPC stubs are now compiled into a dynamically linked library (.so) and the GPP side server uses dlfcn functions (dlopen, dlsym..) to locate the function with the given name and invoke it. the stubs still pull the parameters from the buffer on their own - assembly code for automating this is still in the works
Plans and Tasks
finalize the GPP-side assembly function caller so that GPP side stubs don't need to be provided at all
experiment with different combinations of parameters, including doubles/long integers and shared-mem allocated buffers to make sure everything is working correctly with the marshaller, DSP/Link transfers, unmarshaller and GPP-side server
finalize the DSP-side stubs for the POSIX functions which don't take/return any buffers as parameters
Risks, issues, blockers
One strange thing that occured: if I compile the RPC marshalling function together with the user sources (thus having the RPC layer in the user code, since readmsg/writemsg is accessible from there) given to c6runapp-cc everything works fine, but when I try to include the functions in the DSP-side C6Run library, something goes wrong. The function is a variadic function whose definition looks like this:
void rpc_marshal(char *function_name, char *function_signature, ...)
When I compile the DSP side libs with this function inside, the parameters after (and including) the second parameter are not passed correctly. I've observed that even the address of the formal parameter goes awry. To illustrate, let's say I put a printf call inside this function (thanks to C6Run CIO :)):
printf("Stack addresses: %x %x values: %s %s", &function_name, &function_signature, function_name, function_signature);
If I compile and use this function alongside with the user-provided sources to c6runapp-cc, everything works correctly, so I get output that looks like this (I've made up the stack addresses but they were similar to these):
printf("Stack addresses: 0x80000800 0x8000804 values: rpc_function iii@");
but if used from inside the library:
printf("Stack addresses: 0x80000800 0x80000854 values: rpc_function
Not sure why this is happening - linker settings? a problem with passing variadic parameters? (since if I remove the ... at the end the two parameters get passed correctly, but of course then the others don't). Since it works fine if provided alongside user sources I decided to stick with that for now.

Wireless Mesh Networks, The NSA, And Re-building The Internet
from the exploring-all-the-avenues dept
One of the bitter lessons we learned from Snowden's leaks is that the Internet has been compromised by the NSA (with some help from GCHQ) at just about every level, from our personal software and hardware, through ISPs to major online services. That has prompted some in the Internet engineering community to begin thinking about how to put back as much of the lost security as possible. But even if that's feasible, it's clearly going to take many years to make major changes to something as big and complex as the Net.
However, there's an alternative approach to digital connectivity that has been around for a while, and that's already being used around the world. Wireless meshes allow ad-hoc networks to be set up independently of the Internet's main wiring by hooking together a local collection of suitable devices. Mesh networks can be thrown up and torn down quickly; devices can join and leave them dynamically; and they can recover from breaks in the wireless links by setting up alternative paths. They can either be run as local area networks, disconnected from the Internet, or hooked into it, allowing single or multiple links to be shared by the entire mesh.
One such wireless mesh comes from The New America Foundation's Open Technology Institute, which describes itself as follows:
The Open Technology Institute formulates policy and regulatory reforms to support open architectures and open source innovations and facilitates the development and implementation of open technologies and communications networks. OTI promotes affordable, universal, and ubiquitous communications networks through partnerships with communities, researchers, industry, and public interest groups and is committed to maximizing the potentials of innovative open technologies by studying their social and economic impacts – particularly for poor, rural, and other underserved constituencies. OTI provides in-depth, objective research, analysis, and findings for policy decision-makers and the general public.
Its Commotion project has just reached an important milestone:
Open Technology Institute (OTI) announced today that it has completed Beta testing and upgrades of its groundbreaking mesh networking toolkit, and is launching Commotion 1.0 in time for the new year. The launch represents the first full iteration of the technology, which makes it possible for communities to build and own their communications infrastructure using "mesh" networking. In mesh networks, users connect their devices to each other without having to route through traditional major infrastructure.
Of course, neither Commotion nor other wireless meshes are proof against the NSA's huge array of tricks and tools that we have recently found out about. Indeed, OTI provides an explicit "warning label" for its mesh:
Commotion 1.0 is an open-source toolkit that provides users software and training materials to adapt mobile phones, computers, and other wireless devices to create decentralized mesh networks so they can connect and share local services. A mesh network can function locally as an Intranet, but when one user connects to the Internet, all users will have access to it as well.
But it's important to remember that Commotion and the other wireless mesh systems were designed in a more innocent time, before we knew the extent to which we were being spied upon, and how much the basic protocols of the Internet had been compromised. Now that we've learnt about all those things, it would be good to use that knowledge to spur the creation of the next generation of wireless mesh systems with high levels of security and privacy, so that we can add them to our own collection of tools and tricks in the fight to build a surveillance-resistant Net.

If you liked how Guitar Hero: Aerosmith told the history of the band and gave little bits here and there to allow diehard fans to know more about them, GH: Metallica will surely please. There are even a few things that will surprise hardcore fans. The way the additional content is delivered is through behind the scenes, making of documentaries for how the game was made, notes from past shows, lyric sheets for aspiring singers, and photos.
There is another interesting addition for getting the info you need on GH: Metallica called Metallifacts. If you've ever seen Pop-Up Video on VH1, then you already know the concept. The game will take control from you and you just sit back and watch the stylized video of the songs you've chosen. Then, little facts about the band, the song, and various other informational goodies surrounding those particular songs pop up throughout the video. This is a perfect way to watch the game when you need to take a break. It allows you to see all the small things they paid attention to while character modeling, specifically the lip-synching. Capturing nearly all of Jame's mannerisms has set the bar high for the next time either Rock Band or Guitar Hero comes out with a new iteration. If all of these Metallica-centric options are not enough for you, be sure to check out the Battle mode to see the new attacks named after some of Metallica's hit songs to change the pacing of the battle. New attacks include Fade to Black, which blacks out everything on the player's screen and Trapped Under Ice, which literally freezes the whammy bar.
Of course, the controls won't surprise anyone, at least with the microphone and guitars; they feel the same as they always have. However, the drums received a new mode called Expert+. This mode is something all Rock Band and Guitar Hero fans should aspire to. This mode is so insane that you have to have a second kick pedal in order to fully immerse yourself into the song. Is it required? No, but if you are a completionist, you won't feel accomplished without at least being able to check that out. Because Expert+ demands the use of the second kick pedal, it is important to point out that even though the Rock Band and Rock Band 2 drum kits will work for Guitar Hero: Metallica, you can not use the second kick pedal with them.
Guitar Hero: Metallica is nearly everything that a fan would want. An amazing track list compiling important songs from every album of the bands history, solid character animations of the band, accurate representations of the stages the band has played on that fans will recognize, a digital "diary" of the band, and even special attacks in the Battle mode. There's not much else you could ask for. Guitar Hero: Metallica sets the bar for upcoming band-specific titles. Let's hope they can keep up with the Metal Rock Gods.

The tag line for Wrestlemania 22 is 'Big Time.' But it might be appropriate to change it to 'Hell Freezes Over' with the announcement Bret (The Hitman) Hart is on the way back to WWE.
In a move that threatens to overshadow any match on WWE's annual super show, the company announced Calgary's wrestling legend will be inducted into grappling's Hall of Fame in a lavish ceremony on Wrestlemania weekend.
For Hart, it is a one-time unpaid appearance to cement his legacy and say thank-you to the fans who have supported him over the years.
For WWE bosses, it is a major coup they hope will result in a storyline appearance by Hart or a big money angle on pay-per-view.
For wrestling fans and long-time watchers of the mat game, it is simply proof the old adage is true: You can never say never in the world of pro wrestling.
Hart left WWE in 1997 amidst a storm of controversy. It all surrounded the infamous Montreal screw job, when company boss Vince McMahon cheated the Hitman out of the world title (for real) on live TV.
The end result: Hart punched out McMahon backstage and swore he would never have anything to do with the company again. WWE duly responded by tarnishing the Hitman's name at every opportunity.
This led to years of bitter bickering in the media, which intensified after the death of Hart's younger brother, Owen, in a WWE stunt accident in 1999.
It seemed unlikely the sides would ever mend their fences, until Hart suffered a stroke in 2002.
He seemed to change his priorities and agreed to participate in a limited number of projects with WWE, all related to preserving his legacy, such as a DVD and coffee table book. But until now, the Hitman has refused to appear in person at a WWE event, or in public with McMahon.
Hart will be the star attraction at the Hall of Fame ceremony in Chicago on April 2, which will also see the late Eddie Guerrero inducted in the Class of 2006.

If you have been running a business successfully for quite some time now and you want to apply for a loan to fund your expansions, you're most like to get a loan without hiccups. But if you have a start up venture, then getting a loan sanctioned will not be easy. Private lending institutions will willingly lend you a loan but charge steep rates of interest.
Banks are the most likely source where most start ups and small business firms apply for loans. Banks will ask for a business plan in the first place. You can talk to a business plan service for with preparing a sound business plan.
Your financial plans should be practical and realistic
Apart from preparing a good business plan, you'll need to have financial goals that are realistic and you think you can achieve eventually. Banks are particularly averse to lending loans to small firms and start ups. This is so because the depositors don't want banks to invest their money in risky business ventures that do not guarantee assured returns.
So, banks would ask for collaterals that the bank will hold as mortgage. They would sell these off to realise their dues in case you're not able to payback the loan amount. Collaterals would be your personal assets like home, and savings. But having a sound business plan with achievable financial objectives will make your task of seeking a bank loan smoother.
Think from the lender's perspective
Put yourself in the shoes of the lender. Your prospective lender, a bank in this case, will want to doubly reassure itself that you'll be able to payback the entire loan complete with the interests in the stipulated time period.
They will want to know your business plans. How do you intend to get the best returns on your investments? Is your product or service saleable? Will you be earning enough to reimburse the loaned amount? What personal assets can you provide as collaterals? Do you have guarantors to back you?
Banks prefer lending to someone who has the requisite and extensive experience in the business. You'll need to back up your claims with relevant documents. You chances of getting a loan will go up if you can provide documentary proof of an extra income source like your spouse's salary. You can get in touch with business plan services if you need tips on how to draw up a good business plan.
You will need to fulfil official obligations
If you're seeking an SBA (small business administration) loan, you'll need to provide for 30% of the amount, apart from an effective business project. Banks will provide the rest 70% of the loan amount, in case your loan gets sanctioned.
Inspite of having a superlative business, banks might ask you to fill out a loan application form. You might be asked to submit documents like tax returns, audit statements, and balance sheets of your organization for the last five years that reflect the financial health.
You'll need to have a no holes barred plan
You can make out whether a bank is interested in giving you a loan by the interest it takes in reading your plan. Business plan services help you to organize a business project complete with all the features.

What I'm trying to communicate is that this is one of those staple recipes that every good baker should have in their armoury. I see it as the equivalent of that perfect pair of black trousers you can dress up or down depending on the occasion and they'll always look good.
After seeing some beautiful blueberries and raspberries I decided to use them in my version of this cake. I love the colour combination of the purply-blue and red plus both fruits pack a punch which adds depth of flavour to the sponge.
The cake uses yoghurt which gives a denser –but not heavy - texture to the sponge. The vanilla syrup, drizzled over the cooling cake ensures that each bite of this cake will be succulent and fragrant with vanilla.
For the cake:
250g unsalted butter, at room temperature
250g golden caster sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 eggs
85g plain flour
100g full fat yoghurt
250g self raising flour
3 tablespoons milk
200g raspberries
150g blueberries
For the syrup:
50g golden caster sugar
50ml water
Seeds from half a vanilla pod
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/fan oven 140°C/315°F/Gas mark 3.
- Line the base and sides of a 20cm round springform tin with baking paper.
- Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding a little of the plain flour if the mixture starts to curdle.
- Beat in the yoghurt.
- Combine the two flours then very gently beat into the mixture. Stop as soon as the flour is combined.
- Gently stir the fruit into the batter and ensure that it is distributed nicely throughout the batter.
- Spoon into the prepared cake tin and bake for approximately 1 hour 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Mine took 1 hour 40 minutes.
- Now make the syrup: heat all the ingredients in a saucepan and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Leave to cool.
- Once the cake is out of the oven leave it to cool for 30 minutes before making holes right the way down (use a skewer) and pouring the syrup over. It's best to do this a little at a time and wait for it to be absorbed rather than swamp the cake all at once.
- Leave to cool completely then store in an airtight tin.
- Serve with cream and fruit or however you wish.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

What comes to your mind when you hear the words "animal cruelty"?
Dogs shrunk down to the bone with hunger, perhaps, or left chained and uncared for in backyards by irresponsible people? Cats with tails burned off by some evil kid? Or, if you read this blog and other animal issues pages, perhaps the cruel treatment of animals raised for food in factory farms?
These are the most obvious instances of animal cruelty and it doesn't take much understanding nor vision to recognize them as such. It's the sort of stuff most of us would shrink away from in pain and anger and disgust.
But what if I told you that each day of your life you accept animal cruelty– even perpetrate it– without blinking an eye?
During our road trip this past week, one of our stops was in beautiful Charleston, the grand and historic South Carolinian city of beautiful beaches and awe-inspiring mansions. But in this city where more than once you are reminded about the shameful past of slavery, I saw slavery well and alive, although of another kind. All around us, on the streets, were carriage tours: in other words, a horse dragging a carriage filled with as many as 17 people (yes, I counted them).
The horses themselves look dazed and tired, dragging their heavy cargo of merry tourists, many of who seriously needed to go on cholesterol-free vegan diets. Blinkers on, eyes forward, feet click-clacking with the thick metal "shoes" nailed into their hooves.
Charleston, of course, is not the only place with these carriage tours. They are all around the world and in this country, including in New York City where they continue despite serious concerns raised by animal activists. The horses plod on through their meaningless lives, little more than slaves to the people who own them, irrespective of the weather and often their health. And even assuming, for an instant, that their owners always treat them well, ask yourself this: is this any life for a living, breathing, glorious animal who would rather be free to run, the wind blowing in its mane? Free to nuzzle another horse? If a horse had a wish, what do you think it would want? Freedom or a life of trapped labor?
To me, it's not so much those who make a livelihood from enslaving these animals that are at fault– they are making a living. It is the people who go on these rides, considering them "romantic" or "beautiful," who confound me. Horses are among the most abused animals around us, and often we don't even see what we do to them as abuse. How sad is that? Besides the carriage rides they are raced for entertainment (in my home state Maryland the politicians on either side of the aisle are always making appeals to save the horse-racing industry as if it were a good thing), trained for dumb contests and sports, and butchered for their meat.
But think about it, because it is high time each one of us did. Cruelty is cruelty, no matter how well we dress it up. And do you really want to be part of that?

I fancied a really sticky intense gingerbread topped off with Swiss meringue buttercream but couldn't find a recipe for it. Not sure why as the light whipped buttercream is the perfect companion to the rich, dark gingerbread. So I've come up with my own recipe – as they say, necessity is the mother of invention...and it couldn't get much more necessary than this!
What prompted my need for ginger cupcakes was finding this in my local supermarket:
It's ginger conserve i.e. jam made with stem ginger. I've never seen this before and impulsively bought a jar. It has large chunks of ginger in it and all I could think about was how to incorporate it into a cake. It's funny because I think we all look to more high-end or exotic shops to intrigue us with products yet here this was sitting on a shelf in my local Co-Op! This is what it looks like straight from the jar:
Because of the large chunks of ginger I decided against stirring it into my Swiss meringue buttercream as I thought it might not sit well with the smooth texture. Instead I spooned some onto the cupcake...
... before piping on the frosting and this worked well. If you can't find ginger conserve you can of course make these cupcakes without.
For those of you interested in seeing the cupcakes straight from the oven, here they are:
For the cupcake sponge:
75g unsalted butter, at room temperature
70g soft brown sugar
1 tablespoon black treacle
1 tablespoon golden syrup
2 eggs
1 ball of stem ginger, finely chopped
110g plain flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
2-4 tablespoons milk
Optional: ginger conserve
Optional: ginger conserve
Swiss meringue buttercream (optional):
4 egg whites
250g caster sugar
250g unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon Ginger extract (or you could use some syrup from a jar of stem ginger)
Swiss meringue buttercream (optional):
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
- Line a 12 hole cupcake pan with paper cases.
- Beat together the butter and brown sugar until fluffy and well combined.
- Beat in the treacle, golden syrup and eggs. The mix will look curdled at this point.
- Stir in the chopped ginger.
- Beat in the flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon and bicarbonate of soda.
- Add milk gradually using just enough to loosen the batter to a soft dropping consistency.
- Spoon into the paper cases and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the sponge comes out clean. Mine took 15 minutes.
- Leave to cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack before removing the cupcakes from the pan and leaving to cool completely on the wire rack. Be gentle as they are very soft.
- Now make the Swiss meringue buttercream: Place the egg whites and sugar in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir pretty much constantly to prevent the egg from cooking.
- After 5-10 minutes, when the sugar has dissolved (when you cannot see any crystals on the back of the spoon), remove the bowl from the pan of simmering water and whisk until the meringue has puffed up and the mix is cool.
- - Add the butter and ginger extract to the meringue and whisk until the butter has been completely incorporated into the meringue. At first it will look a disaster – it will collapse and look curdled but don't worry! Stop when the mixture is smooth, light and fluffy.
- If using, spread some ginger conserve over each cupcake. Don't go right to the edges as it's nice to have it covered by the buttercream as a surprise for the eater!
- Pipe the Swiss meringue buttercream on top of each cupcake.
- Bask in the glory of the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

Bake the Book: St John Eccles Cakes
Get the Recipe
Eccles cakes have been around for hundreds of years, and the recipe is mostly the same: a flaky pastry is filled with currant paste, and sometimes dusted with sugar. The Complete Nose to Tail makes its own version by eschewing the traditional lard-based pastry, instead using pure butter, and slashing the top, allowing its sweet innards to ooze through.
Tips & Tweaks: We understand the temptation to not bother making puff pastry from scratch. And that's fine; use store-bought if you must, just follow the instructions on the package, and be careful when thawing it out. If you're feeling more adventurous, we provide Chef Henderson's instructions for making puff pastry in the body of the recipe.
As always with our Bake the Book feature, we have five (2) copies of The Complete Nose to Tail to give away.

CES 2013: ASUS Shows Off P9X79-E WS Motherboard for SB-E Processors
Subject: Motherboards | January 9, 2013 - 12:01 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: workstation, usb 3.0, socket 2011, sandy bridge-e, p9x79-e, ces 2013, CES, asus
ASUS is showing off a new flagship X79 motherboard at CES called the P9X79-E WS. The workstation-class board is packed with hardware and ready to take Intel's socket 2011-based Sandy Bridge-E processors to the extreme. The P9X79-E WS is of the E-ATX variety and features a LGA 2011 socket nestled between eight DDR3 DIMM slots. The board can support a maximum of 64GB clocked at 2400 MHz. An eight-pin CPU power and standard 24-pin ATX connector supplies power to the board while ASUS' 10+2 phase DIGI+ VRM delivers clean power to the processor and memory.
The P9X79-E WS uses the X79 PCH and features six SATA 6 Gbps ports and four SATA 3 Gbps ports. With seven total PCI-E 3.0 x16 expansion slots, the P9X79-E WS can support quad SLI or CrossfireX multi-GPU solutions.
Rear IO on the ASUS motherboard includes the following ports:
- 1 x combo PS/2 port
- 7 x USB 2.0 ports
- 2 x USB 3.0 ports (plus two additional USB 3.0 headers on the motherboard)
- 1 x USB BIOS flash port and button
- 2 x Gigabit Ethernet ports
- 2 x eSATA ports
- 6 x Analog audio ports
- 1 x S/PDIF port
- 1 x FireWire port
While not quite as outlandish as the Zeus and Wolverine prototype motherboards ASUS showed off at Computex, the P9X79-E WS is a high-end board that should actually see the light of day. Unfortunately, ASUS has not released any official pricing or availability for its new flagship X79 motherboard yet. WCCF Tech has several close up photos of the ASUS board worth looking at as well.

Specifications and Outside Features
In recent weeks we have been getting a lot of requests for system reviews, but when ORIGIN PC approached us about testing a super-high-end system with dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690s, we were definitely interested. When we were told to expect a 4.9 GHz Sandy Bridge-E platform to base those Quad SLI GPUs on, we were sold.
ORIGIN PC has been around since 2009 when several people started the company after leaving Alienware. While boutique computer builders are still fairly common in today's market, ORIGIN tries to differentiate with ideas like lifetime (yes, lifetime) phone and forum support for your system, lifetime labor for upgrades and services and 72 hours of burn in testing on each machine.
The rig we are looking at today falls under the Genesis brand and is the highest end starting point for a custom PC from ORIGIN. Options for this series include Sandy Bridge-E, Ivy Bridge and even AMD FX processors all with water cooling, multi-GPU configurations and of course, fancy lighting.
Here is a quick overview of the most prominent specs:
- Corsair 800D chassis
- Intel Core i7-3930K 6-core Sandy Bridge-E @ 4.9 GHz
- Intel DX79SR Motherboard
- Dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 4GB cards (Quad SLI)
- 16GB DDR3-1866 quad-channel memory
- 1200 watt Corsair AX1200i Power Supply
- Dual 120GB Corsair Force GT SSDs in RAID 0
- 1TB Seagate 7200 RPM SATA 6G HDD
- Custom ORIGIN Cryogenic liquid cooling setup on CPU
Our estimated cost is...$5,750.

Upper Middle Class; ASRock's high end X79 and Z77 boards
Subject: Motherboards | June 12, 2012 - 06:27 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: sandy bridge-e, Ivy Bridge, asrock, Fatal1ty X79 Champion, Z77 Extreme9
There is an ASRock two-fer over at Legion Hardware, with the $400 Fatal1ty X79 Champion for SandyBridge-E and the $350 Z77 Extreme9 for IvyBridge. As you can tell by the prices, ASRock has come far from its roots as a less expensive choice for value conscious buyers and is now ready to compete with the established companies like ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI. The X79 Champion carries a lot of extras, the Marvell SE9230 adds SATA 6Gbps ports and the SE9172 adds eSATA, as well you get USB 3.0 support from a TI TUSB7340 chip but all that comes at a cost, only a pair of full 16x PCI 3.0 ports. The Z77 Extreme9 also features extras in the form of the PLX PEX 8747 PCIe 3.0 chip which allows dual GPUs at 16x or quad at 8x, an ASMedia ASM1061 6Gbps for extra SATA 6Gbps and a a wireless and Bluetooth module.
Drop by Legion Hardware to see how they perform.
"Overall we have been impressed by Asrock's high-end offerings, as they really are top notch products. Asrock has continued to step up their game over the last few years and today we would have no problem purchasing one of their products over something from Asus or Gigabyte for example. The Fatal1ty X79 Champion and Z77 Extreme9 are more examples of why Asrock motherboards are worth checking out."

Introduction and Features
Courtesy of ASUS
ASUS continues to optimize their hardware for the overclocking and PC gaming crowds, but they are also catering to a niche audience looking for ultra stable and durable PC components. ASUS's Sabertooth X79 motherboard is their one of their latest products to bear the TUF series label and sport customized hardware and thermal components as well as a desert camo color scheme to complete the military look. This $329 motherboard comes with a five-year warranty, digital power management system, rugged chokes, solid capacitors, and MOSFETs that have been certified through third party, military-grade testing.
Courtesy of ASUS
The Sabertooth X79 also comes with a host of other features to improve SSD caching and give users quad GPU support for CrossfireX and SLI graphics card configurations. This board also includes a unique UEFI BIOS and natively supports 2TB hard drives with 64-bit operating systems. The USB BIOS "Flashback" feature also helps new users update their motherboard BIOS without entering the BIOS. ASUS states that users can use any USB storage device with the latest BIOS, push the BIOS button located on the back I/O panel for three seconds, and the board will automatically update the BIOS using standby power. Very cool!
Courtesy of ASUS
The back I/O panel on the Sabertooth X79 is no slouch either as it gives users a healthy amount of USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and eSATA 6GB/s ports for greater performance and expandability options. They also added a small fan over the back I/O panel as part of their "TUF Thermal Armor" feature that will help cool and exhaust heat from ther motherboard out the back of the chassis. Let's move on to the rest of the Saberbooth X79's features where we will get our first out-of-the-box look at this motherboard.

ASRock Reveals New Technology Advances at COMPUTEX 2012
Subject: Motherboards, Shows and Expos | June 5, 2012 - 01:06 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Z77, x79, trinity, sandy bridge-e, PLX PEX 8747, Ivy Bridge, Intel, fm2, asrock, amd
Four new Intel motherboards from ASRock were revealed at Computex, the X79 Extreme11, Z77 Extreme9 and Z77 OC Formula. All use their new XFast 555 Technology software for XFast RAM, XFast LAN and XFast USB which should at the very least allow you great control over all the frequencies on your motherboard.
The motherboard for power users supports Sandy Bridge E processors, the X79 Extreme11 sports PLX PEX 8747 bridges which means this motherboard can run multi-GPU 4-Way SLI/CrossFireX at PCIe Gen3 x16/x16/x16/x16 and puts EVGA's Classified SR-2 in serious trouble on the Leaderboard when released. 24 + 2 Power Phase Design, onboard Creative Sound Core3D and an LSI SAS2308 chip which gives you ten SATA3 connectors with 8 of the able to be set to SAS mode.
The Z77 Extreme9 also sports the PLX PEX 8747 bridge which allows a surprising full PCIe Gen3 x8/x8/x8/x8 quad GPU mode. The included T2R Dual Band WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n + BT v4.0 Module supports dual band WiFi and BlueTooth and combines with the Wi-SB BOX to provide better signal and an extra pair of USB 3.0 connectors.
The Z77 OC Formula wants to step on ASUS' toes; while the score is impressive, the overclocks need a little work. They don't say much about this board but from the preliminary testing it looks like great fun for the serious overclocker.
Last but not least is the Z77 Extreme6/TB4 which features four channel Thunderbolt, for that you can read two Thunderbolt ports. ASRock mentions that this "allows one port to be connected to the onboard graphics and the other one can be used for discrete graphics card." which could lead to all sorts of speculation.
On the AMD side we have the ATX FM2A75 Pro4, and microATX FM2A75 Pro4-M and FM2A75M-DG which support Trinity processors but unfortunately we don't have much more than their names. TechPowerUp did get some pictures of the boards recently.
They are also showing the EN2C602-4L, E3C204-V, E3C204-4L and H77WS-DL server boards which come with a full suite of software to ensure an easy setup, an IPC motherboard for those small purpose-built applications and an intriguing HTPC box called the ASRock VisionX Series. This is reputed to featuring Ivy Bridge, Radeon HD 7850M graphics and AMD HD3D Technology with dual band WiFi but might cost a bit more than the alternative, the ASRock MINI Series which has and AMD E2-1800 backed up by a Radeon HD7340.
Inside and Out
When you are a little fish in the great big pond of PC builders, you need to do something to stand out from the rest. The people behind DV Nation apparently were well aware of that when entering the system vendor business and offering up SSDs to every single system configuration. Through a new system they are offering, provocatively named the "RAMRod PC", DV Nation provides a pre-built system that has some very unique components and configuration settings.
Built around the Antec Three Hundred Two chassis, the first glance at the RAMRod doesn't really indicate anything special is going on under the hood. But let's take a quick look at the specs:
- Intel Core i7-3820 @ 4.4 GHz
- 64GB DDR3-1600 Memory from G.Skill
- Radeon HD 6990 4GB
- 2x Seagate Momentus XT 750GB Hybrid HDD in RAID-0
- OCZ RevoDrive 3 X2 480GB PCIE SSD
- RAMCache: SuperSpeed Supercache 8GB on PCIE SSD, 8GB on Momentus
- RAMDisk: 42GB ROMEX Primo rated at 8000 MB/s
- Cost: $5,400
Obviously there is a LOT of storage work going on in the RAMRod and the purpose of the rig is to be the fastest pre-configured storage available anywhere. If you are looking for a cheaper version of this system you can get a base model with 16GB of memory, 10GB RAMDisk, 2GB RAMCache, 240GB PCIe SSD, single standard hard drive and even at GTX 680 for $2999.
Let's take a quick walk around the rest of the system before diving into the benchmarks!

Introduction and Exterior
When we do system reviews at PC Perspective we tend to look for some specific feature, or some unique asset, that the builder has to provide value to the consumer and potential customer. I have seen systems that provided a great cost value, ones that offer an extremely quiet experience, some that are in a small form factor, etc. Our review of the MAINGEAR Shift custom machine is here due simply to an impressive collection of hardware.
While you can grab a Shift PC starting under $2000, ours isn't going to come anywhere near that. In fact, as of this writing, the configuration we are detailing would run you about $6,200. Why? Take a look at the specifications:
- Intel Core i7-3960X Sandy Bridge-E
- 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1866
- ASUS Rampage IV Extreme X79 Motherboard
- 3 x Radeon HD 7970 3GB Graphics Cards
- 2 x Corsair Force GT 120GB SSDs (RAID-0)
- 1TB Western Digital 7200 RPM HDD
- Corsair AX1200 watt power supply
- MAINGEAR Epic 180 water cooler
- MAINGEAR Epic Audio system
- Fancy White LEDs
So with a Sandy Bridge-E processor, 16GB of memory, three HD 7970s running in CrossFireX and Corsair SSDs running in a RAID-0 array, this is one of the fastest gaming PCs you can purchase today.
A Look at the Shift
The specifications are just part of the story though; MAINGEAR is well known for building a high quality machine with attention to detail and continues to push forward with unique ideas like a vertical system design (first system builder to introduce it), custom 180mm water coolers and even in-house thermal interfaces.
While MAINGEAR does offer systems in a variety of colors, our system uses the basic brushed black aluminum. The window on the side panel is another option that was included on our demo rig.

Introduction and Features

We are still making our way through an avalanche of X79 motherboards on our test bench that leverages the power of Sandy Bridge-E CPUs, but we didn't want to wait any longer on powering up Gigabyte's GA-X79-UD5 extended ATX motherboard. Gigabyte has really stepped up their game by offering optimized LGA 2011 for no-nonsense PC builders, hardware enthusiasts, serious overclockers, and even FPS/RPG PC gamers. Our review of the X79-UD5 is going to evaluate every aspect of the board's ability to handle automatic and manual overclocking, DX10/DX11 gaming, and other synthetic and real-world benchmarks.
Courtesy of Gigabyte
The Gigabyte X79-UD5 motherboard takes full advantage of the new features available with the LGA 2011 platform and X79 Express chipset like the abiliy to use up to 64GBs of quad-channel memory via eight DIMMs and support for dual and triple AMD CrossfireX or NVIDIA SLI graphics card configurations for multi-monitor, high-definition gaming. These features should make ultra enthusiasts grin from ear to ear because they will probably be the ones who tandem this board with an Intel Core i7-3960X processor and dual NVIDIA GTX 680s graphics cards that were just released earlier this week. The $299 price tag on this board also places it right in the middle of the pack of LGA 2011 motherboards available on Newegg and other vendors.

VR-Zone took a processor from each of Intel's last three architectures, clocked them all to 4.7GHz and started benchmarking. By clocking them all the same you get to see a better comparison of the performance of the various architectures, although the motherboard chipset does introduce a variable into the performance results. As well, the Ivy Bridge Core i7-3770K is an engineering sample and so may not perfectly reflect the performance of the final retail product. Drop by to see how these chips compare in synthetic benchmarks.
"Intel's Core i7-3770K (ES) vs i7-2600K vs i7-3960X, nuff said! We have also included a brief USB 3.0 controller shootout inside, involving the new Z77 (Panther Point) Native USB implementation and other popular solutions."

Directory Listing
Remove .svn entries from Manifest
Get rid of .svn entries
- unpack the alt-prefix-tree as portage - make messaging a bit more accurate - improve guesswork - added DEFAULT_PATH (which allows to bootstrap with only the portage target)
Adding a missing quote, spotted by matt (sesquile)
Let eerror write to stderr, and use eerror instead of manually echoing.
Quoting some variables
Explain *why* we fail if there is no such function the user requested
Remove backup files from manifest
unmask sys-libs/db-4.3.27
Add ACCEPT_KEYWORDS with unstable keywords for the moment.
Added some logic to setup a make.profile symlink and to make sure wget will be available in the prefix
Some more quoting, and compensate for a changed name in the portage tarbal
Figure out based on the host OS if we have to use wget or curl.
Move variable assignments down after the moment that we know what ROOT is...
Add overlay extraction. Minor fixes.
Erm... actually retain exg's intended behaviour of allowing the user to specify what part of the bootstrap is run.
No need to defer execution two times.
Make the script a little bit smarter, and a little bit less assuming. Also, force user interaction by requiring prefix to be given as argument to the script. As side effect this makes the script safe to run to "see what happens".

Adding nano 1.3.9, removing junk from previous versions which we don't have in our tree
Better not hardcode Darwin support into the ebuild, makes it hard to use for others. Also fix engines patch to use the bash variable, not make variable, as bash can't set make variables from within the makefile...
Adding glibc. Note that it requires a compiler that eats -fno-stack-protector...
Adding gcc. Note that we need a modified version of toolchain.eclass, since it collides with our $PREFIX variable, see bug #118321
Adding linux-headers. I doubt whether it is really useful, but it works.
Adding gcc-config
Adding eselect-compiler
Adding eselect. Has one remaining issue with docs installing a symlink outside prefix.

Nasty surprise today for some Apple TV users who powered up only to discover the TV Shows icon was missing from the interface. Yes, literally missing. Gone. Stolen. Since Apple has the ability to dynamically add or remove icons from the Apple TV interface - like iTunes Festival or Apple Events - this is likely a bug in their system. Hopefully Apple is aware of the issue and looking into it, and TV Shows will reappear as suddenly as it disappeared.
Can you access TV shows, either through iTunes or your Apple TV? Let us know, and if/when you get it back, let us know that too!

Under the Regulated Health Professions Act, College members are permitted to establish a corporation for the purpose of practising medicine.
Members intending to incorporate must do so under the Ontario Business Corporations Act. For forms and instructions on how to incorporate, contact the Companies Branch of the Ministry of Government Services or 416-314-8880.
Following incorporation, the corporation must apply to the College for a Certificate of Authorization. Without this Certificate, the corporation is not permitted to practise. Practising without a certificate or holding out as a professional corporation without a certificate is an offence.
Important: Before submitting articles of incorporation to the Ministry, special care should be taken to ensure that the articles, including the proposed name of the corporation, will meet the requirements for issuance of a Certificate of Authorization. Members are urged to review these requirements thoroughly before they incorporate.
Regulations and Relevant Sections and Statutes
Processing of completed applications takes several weeks, but the Certificate will be dated and will take effect from the date the College received the completed application.
Note that the rules governing corporation name are strictly enforced. The College will not issue a Certificate of Authorization if the name of the corporation does not follow the format set out in the application instructions.
Members are urged to review these instructions before filing for incorporation.
Certificate of Authorization Application
Certificates of Authorization must be renewed annually. The College will send a reminder to the corporation about six weeks in advance of the renewal deadline, but the College assumes no responsibility for initiating application for renewal.
If a corporation does not apply or fails to comply with one or more of the requirements for renewal, the College will issue a notice proposing to revoke the corporation's Certificate of Authorization. Revocation will occur sixty days from the date of the notice, if grounds for revocation still exist. Upon revocation, the corporation ceases to be a professional corporation and its authority to practise the profession ceases.
Certificate of Authorization Renewal Application
See Frequently Asked Questions for more information
Under the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA), corporations are required to notify the Registrar of each change in shareholders who are members of the College. Further, the RHPA requires that notice of shareholder change be provided within the time and in the form and manner determined under the College's by-law.
The following check-list will assist corporations in meeting their obligations under the RHPA and the College by-law:
Notice of Shareholder Change: Forms and Instructions
Corporations are required to notify the College of their current practice address(es). Practice addresses are public and appear in the College's website along with other publicly available information.
Corporations must also notify the College of their current registered office address. This is the address used for College communications. It is not available to the public, unless it is the same as the practice address.
Download Change of Address form and return to the College by fax or email.
Holding companies may not own shares in medicine professional corporations.
Trustee ownership is permitted only where an individual, as trustee, owns non-voting shares in trust for one or more children of a voting physician shareholder, who are minors, or beneficiaries.
Applications presenting holding companies as shareholders, or presenting trustees as shareholders for family members who are not minors, will be refused.
Under the Regulated Health Professions Act, corporations are required to notify the College promptly of every change of corporation name and every other change in their articles of incorporation. Notice must be in writing and include a copy of the certificate of amendment from the Ministry of Government Services.
Upon amalgamation with another corporation, a medicine professional corporation ceases to exist as an entity separate from the newly amalgamated corporation, and its certificate of authorization may be revoked.
In the event of revocation, the amalgamated corporation must apply for and obtain a new certificate of authorization before it may practise as a professional corporation. The amalgamated corporation must meet all of the eligibility conditions and requirements for issuance of a certificate of authorization.
Health profession corporations which have incorporated in a jurisdiction outside Ontario, including corporations federally incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations Act, cannot obtain a certificate of authorization and be deemed a health profession corporation in Ontario without incorporating under the Ontario Business Corporations Act and satisfying the conditions and requirements for a certificate of authorization under the Regulated Health Professions Act. These requirements include filing for a Certificate of Continuance from the Ministry of Government Services.
As a first step, corporations from outside Ontario should contact the Companies Branch of the Ministry of Government Services or 416-314-8880 for forms and instructions on how to continue the corporation in Ontario.
A license issued under the Ontario Extra-Provincial Corporations Act is not sufficient for purposes of qualifying for a certificate of authorization and recognition as a "health profession corporation" under the Regulated Health Professions Act.
Payment form available here.
In the event of a lost certificate of authorization, payment of $10 is required for issuance of a replacement.
To request a replacement certificate, send your signed, written request together with payment of the $10 fee to the Corporations Unit. Be sure to quote your corporation ID number and explain briefly why you need a replacement.
Payment must be received before a replacement certificate is issued. Payment can be made by credit card using the College's payment form or cheque, made payable to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.
The replacement certificate will be mailed to your registered office address, unless indicated otherwise, usually within two weeks from the date we receive your request. The College will not fax or provide photocopies of the certificate of authorization.
Requests for a duplicate receipt of payment must also be made in writing to the Corporations Unit. There is no fee.
For more information, contact the Corporations Unit.
Important: The College is unable to provide any legal or accounting advice in respect of issuance or renewal of Certificates of Authorization. For advice in this regard, the College recommends corporations consult a lawyer or accountant.

Spring has finally arrived, bringing us warm evenings and the temptation to leave our bedroom windows open as we sleep. There's nothing quite so soothing as a gentle breeze wafting across the room. Fresh air, ah!
But, of course, nothing out here on the Chestnut Hill peninsula is ever as simple as Country Living magazine would have you believe. To begin with, my last household chore each night (after double-locking every door and window) is to make sure "the stick" is in place.
The stick came into our life as a result of a conversation in my bookshop one afternoon with Chestnut Hill architect Andrew Jarvis. He said his firm was designing a penal institution. I asked him if he might know the answer to a question I'd wondered about: how close together the prison bars had to be, and in effect, what was the minimum distance a human head, attached to a nimble body, could not squeeze through. He said, "Four inches." That number was in the specs they'd been given.
Unfortunately, my wife was present and she swears he said, "Four and a half inches."
We have sliding windows and I sawed the blocking stick to allow the window to open no more than four inches. Every now and then though, I notice unfamiliar sawdust at my workbench. When I check, sure enough, the window bar is a half-inch shorter.
Madame G regards fresh air as a need, rather than a luxury, even though we live in a city. I make the corrections, only to find new sawdust. These surreptitious long-to-short alterations should keep us busy till we go to "the Home" in the not-too-distant future. Perhaps even after that.
She's slightly less worried about urban crime than I, partly because of personality, but also because she has not read as many true crime books as I have. I've read several hundred, possibly half of them in the form of prison memoirs, written by everyone from the cons to the wardens, including psychologists, executioners, doctors, sociologists, relatives, and crime victims.
When I was young, and read the Classics Illustrated Comic Books versions of "Les Miserables" and "Oliver Twist," I learned there was a strong link between poverty and thievery. I learned that stealing was the only way poor people could get bread. I felt sorry for them and understood and accepted their need.
As I grew older, cognitive dissonance started kicking in: Wait a minute – middle-class and rich people steal too. And poor people in America rarely steal just to get bread for their families. They mostly steal to get dope or bling, two things that temporarily lighten the crushing shame they feel from being poor. But, wait a minute: Rich people steal to get dope and bling too. Round and round we go.
So, every night the air is sweet, I draw the curtains, lock the doors and set the bar in the window. Though we live in a "nice" house in a "nice" neighborhood on a "nice" peninsula, we live in a not-so-nice city. I'm putting on my nightcap as the professional criminals are pulling up their hoodies and saying, "Let's go get paid."
They come out to cruise the side streets, parking lots, darkened houses, parked vehicles, jogging paths, woods, lovers' lanes, bus stops, train stations, public markets, restaurants, malls, subways, campuses, locker rooms and public restrooms. Probing. Relentlessly, everywhere.
Nevertheless, once I've set the bar in the window and climbed in bed and settled under a light cover and picked up a book, I enjoy that sweet breeze coming through the window.
"Doesn't that feel great?" I say.
"Mmm, yes," the Queen of Ambience replies.
Of course, with the window open we can now hear sirens all through the night – emergency vehicles coming up Germantown Avenue or Bethlehem Pike toward Chestnut Hill Hospital. I pause for a second whenever I notice them (I don't always 'hear' them – sirens are the auditory urban equivalent of wallpaper) to wish the passenger good luck. Some people I knew and loved deeply have taken such rides. I may take one myself someday.
Six weeks ago I had a conversation with a lady who lives in the western suburbs. She was selling her house and considering moving to Chestnut Hill. But, oh, the city wage tax. That seemed awful. And the crime. You have a lot of crime in the city, don't you?
Despite my being a writer for the Chestnut Hill Local, I defended our peninsula as a good place to live. If you live here for 21 years, as we have, and get involved a bit in community activities, and shop, and eat locally often enough, the neighborhood starts feeling like a village. Move here, you'll enjoy it, I said.
Then the latest bank robbery happened this week. At gunpoint. In broad daylight! (Though, when else would someone stick up a bank?) It seems like every bank on the Hill has been robbed that way in the two decades we've been here.
And the United States Post Office station farther down the street was robbed this spring. Federal crimes. Despite camera surveillance. Possibly the same team of baddies. (That would be the consoling thought, rather than consider that several bands of criminals are working our neighborhood simultaneously.)
What's to do? Is there somewhere in America you could place a bank that would be immune to stick-ups? I doubt it. Not even on the Main Line.
Are there places to live where you might go jogging and leave your purse or computer in plain view and never have it stolen? Possibly. Or not have your house burglarized? Possibly. Probably unlikely.
I think most of our heads start spinning when we try to weigh factors such as safety, aesthetics, vibrancy, cultural opportunities, friendliness and the rest of the factors that influence where we choose to live – if we are lucky enough to have a choice.
So, we urban veterans tell ourselves that these crime waves are just that: waves. When they crest, we demand more police and community vigilance. When they subside to their customary urban-nuisance levels, we go back to earning our daily bread, raising our children, having some enjoyment with our friends, and leaving our windows open, hoping the 4-inch gap isn't too wide.

Ryan Braun, it's about time: Our view
Doping isn't a thing of the past, but tougher enforcement sends a message.
With the suspension of slugger Ryan Braun on Monday and other bans looming, maybe, just maybe, Major League Baseball has finally turned the corner on its attitude toward performance-enhancing drugs.
OPPOSING VIEW: Self-righteous and doomed to failure
This time, Commissioner Bud Selig pushed the investigation that nailed Braun, a star of Selig's beloved Milwaukee Brewers, rather than pretending, as he has for so long, that the steroid era is "a thing of the past."
This time, the players union signaled that guilty players would have to take their punishment, a revolutionary change from the union's fierce defense of anyone charged, regardless of the facts.
And this time, the players who've chosen to stay clean sound as if they're fed up with watching the cheaters prosper. Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, the MVP of last week's All-Star Game, called Braun's suspension "a good thing" for "cleaning the game" and "a message for whoever tries to do this again."
It's about time.
For the better part of two decades, Major League owners and the union tried to pretend they didn't notice as players bulked up — recall Barry Bonds' expanding hat size — and revered records fell, often to cheaters.
MLB had to be pressured by an angry Congress to improve testing. Even after former Senate majority leader George Mitchell reported in 2007 that cheating was more rampant than anyone imagined, players continued to look for an illicit edge.
Baseball is hardly the only sport afflicted by juiced athletes. American Tyson Gay and two other top track sprinters recently disclosed that they had tested positive for banned drugs. Lance Armstrong's belated admissions have cast a cloud over the Tour de France.
And pro football, once a drug-testing leader among major sports, has fallen embarrassingly behind, even as its players grow suspiciously supersized. After agreeing in a new contract nearly two years ago to testing for human-growth hormone (HGH), the NFL players union has been stalling ever since.
Earlier this month, the union agreed to allow blood tests when players report to summer camp. But curb your enthusiasm: This isn't an actual test for HGH. It's a test to develop a baseline to be used later.
For baseball, the significance of Braun's 65-game suspension is not so much that he was banned for the rest of the season or that he'll lose $3.85 million in salary. It's that baseball aggressively investigated Braun and about 20 other players, including Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, who have been linked to a Florida clinic that was distributing performance-enhancing drugs. MLB sued the owner, who cooperated and turned over incriminating documents.
Five years ago, this chase wouldn't have occurred.
More suspensions are expected, but who better to be the first to bear the brunt of a tough new attitude than Braun, who had tested positive for elevated testosterone levels in 2011? He went on to win the National League MVP award and challenged the test on appeal. He got off on a technicality. Not satisfied with his good fortune, Braun decided to publicly smear the guy who collected his urine sample, suggesting that the collector had tampered with it.
Monday, the collector, Dino Laurenzi, got his reputation back. If baseball keeps catching and punishing cheaters, maybe it can, too.

The owner of a storage facility in Bangor, Maine, will pay a fine of $17,121 to settle U.S. Environmental Protection Agency claims that it violated chemical reporting requirements under the mergency Planning and Community-Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).
According to EPA, Galt Block Warehouse failed to prepare and submit emergency and hazardous chemical inventory forms to the local emergency planning committee, the state emergency response commission, and the local fire department, in violation of EPCRA. During an inspection in May 2007, the agency determined that Galt was storing sulfuric acid, lead, and propane gas in amounts greater than the minimum threshold levels allowed. In particular, Galt had 3,190 pounds of sulfuric acid, exceeding the threshold limit of 500 pounds before a Tier II form must be submitted. Sulfuric acid, lead, ammonia and propane gas are hazardous substances that require special storage and handling.
The use of these chemicals must be reported under federal laws so that emergency responders are able to take necessary safety precautions to protect themselves and the public in the event of an emergency situation at the facility.

Norwich Lord Mayor's Street ProcessionActivity by Joanne Woods | added on Jun 29, 2011 | United Kingdom
Bayer Cropscience has entered a parade float into the Norwich Lord Mayor's street procession being held on Sat 9th July 2011. The theme is scientists with a mobile chemistry set.
Bayer Cropscience has entered a parade float into the Norwich Lord Mayor's street procession being held at 5pm on Sat 9th July 2011, as part of the Lord Mayor's celebrations. The theme is scientists with a mobile chemistry set, and involves Bayer employees such as chemists, engineers, operators, administrators and managers with their respective families.
Bayer Cropscience believe that this parade is a perfect opportunity to emphasize science as fun with wacky wigs and colourful artwork depicting experiments. The "walkers" will be wearing brightly coloured element costumes whereas those on the float will be dressed as male and female scientists (ranging from 2 years old).
Our parade float is the perfect way to celebrate the International Year of Chemistry in style. Vivid carnival colours, hanging molecules and music will ensure that it gives everyone something to think about.

Three USU Professors Earn Prestigious Awards
Wednesday, Jul. 03, 2013
Three professors in the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences (CAAS) recently won prestigious awards.
Kerry Rood — Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences
The Utah Veterinary Medical Association recognized Kerry Rood, an associate professor in the Department of Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences, as Veterinarian of the Year. Rood has been a member of the association for 15 years and said it was a complete surprise.
"It is quite an honor to be nominated by my peers as veterinarian of the year," Rood said. "I don't have the words to express how that makes me feel."
Currently, Rood is working with Utah dairy farmers to help improve efficiency and increase productivity while also working with beef producers to help them better understand bovine viral diarrhea disease and its treatments. Additionally, Rood is working with cattlemen to find a more cost effective way to run a "trich" test, a test meant to help prevent the transmission of trichomoniasis from a bull to a cow during breeding. Once transmitted, the disease can cause a cow to abort her calf and can be passed onto other bulls.
Korry Hintze — Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Sciences
CAAS faculty member, Korry Hintze, earned his noteworthy award at the Sackler Institute of Nutrition Symposium in Manhattan.
"It felt great and was unexpected because there was so much good science being presented," Hintze said.
Hintze, an associate professor in the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Sciences, was awarded an Early Career Investigator Poster Presentation prize for his presentation illustrating a simplified method he developed with other faculty members to "humanize" a non-germ free mouse gut, or a mouse that hasn't had all microorganisms removed from its digestive tract for its use in scientific research.
"Basically, we replaced the resident bacteria in the mouse gut with human bacteria," Hintze said. "This has been done before with germ-free mice but very few germ-free mice facilities exist so it has always been very difficult to humanize mice. Our process makes this process feasible for many more investigators and also is not limited to mice."
Hintze said they are now using this model to study human diseases such as colon cancer and metabolic syndrome.
The institute is the nutrition science section for the New York Academy of Science, an organization that boasts several significant former members, including Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Louis Pasteur, Charles Darwin, Margaret Mead and Albert Einstein.
Paul Jakus — Applied Economics
The Northeastern Agricultural and Resource Economics Association awarded Department of Applied Economics professor Paul Jakus an Agricultural and Resource Economics Review Fellows award.
The ARER Fellows award is given to authors who have published five or more peer-reviewed articles in Agricultural and Resource Economics Review and "who have demonstrated sustained excellence in research and commitment to the association's journal," according to the journal's website.
"I am honored to have been named an ARER Fellow," Jakus said. "I have always looked forward to receiving and reading the journal, because there is usually a research paper that can be used immediately in my own research program."
Jakus is currently finishing two projects for the state of Utah. The first is a collaborative project between Jakus and colleagues from the Utah Division of Water Quality, Colorado State University, University of Wyoming and the consulting firm CH2M Hill to develop a model of water-based recreation. The model will allow those involved to see how recreational water activities change as water quality improves. The second project involves the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and APEC assistant professor Man-Kuen Kim and aims to estimate the economic benefits of designated Blue Ribbon fisheries in Utah.
Jakus is also working with Therese Grijalva from Weber State University to collect data for the construction of models to test the hypothesis that the state of Utah can manage its public lands more effectively than the federal government.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) affect millions of people around the globe. While the most common cause of HAI is direct contact with the source, airborne bacteria may also play a role in patient infections. To prevent airborne infection and make hospital clean rooms safer, it's important to design efficient ventilation systems. As an added benefit, efficient ventilation designs also lead to lower energy-related costs. The first step to a better design is CFD modeling.Weiterlesen
