added a career-high 11 but it would not be enough as Maryland-Eastern Shore got the best of Western Michigan. 85-66 on Dec. 3. Western Michigan (2-6) led once in the game. 6-5 but the rest of the night belonged to Maryland-Eastern Shore as the Broncos fell in their fourth-straight road game. The Broncos played evenly with UMES (3-3) in the second half as each team put 48 points on the board but WMU could not overcome a 37-18 halftime deficit. The Brown & Gold trailed by as many as 35 in the second half facing a Hawks’ defense that entered the night allowing just 54 points per game. Western Michigan cut the lead to 14 with 2:12 remaining but fouled much of the rest of the way in an attempt to manage the clock as UMES pulled out the 19-point victory. The Broncos shot just 21 percent in the first half before stepping it up to 46 percent in the second finishing the night shooting 19-for-56 (34 %) from the floor. recorded a team-high eight rebounds and five assists. Also contributing four steals she moved into eighth on the school’s all-time career steals list surpassing Kina Brown (167). WMU held the advantage on the glass. 40-36. Both teams committed 22 turnovers. Casey Morton and April McBride led the Hawks with 20 points apiece combining to hit six of the Hawks’ 12 three-pointers on the evening. Having played their seventh road game in their first eight contests the Broncos have a much anticipated two-week stretch at home hosting Illinois-Chicago on Dec. 8 and Temple on Dec. 16.

Clemson (SC) - Researchers at Clemson University's bear on for Silicon Nanoelectronics have developed a new process technology which reduces power loss by six times. "to a aim never seen before," according to the touch release. This new technology results in reduced heat and will allow future multi-core chips to have less physical cores because each one can be clocked higher and do more work. Future handheld devices could also acquire by requiring less power to do the same work seen today. A process technology is the physical manufacturing processes involved in making a semiconductor device. This typically involves creating things in the sizes we're familiar with using 65nm. 45nm etc. Tiny coat lines are created which connect all of the on-die circuits necessary for carrying out bring home the bacon. Transistors are the fundamental workhorses of the semiconductor. It is typically these devices where the bulk of the alter is generated. Each transistor generates an incredibly small amount of alter but in today's semiconductor devices there are literally 100s of millions of transistors. Their cumulative heat effects become significant. alter generation is also affected by measure go. If a modern 3.0 GHz processor dissipating 65 watts of heat at 3.0 GHz were taken and underclocked to 500 MHz it might be able to operate without any active cooling at all. The slower clock speed results in less heat being generated. And if that same 3.0 GHz processor were taken and overclocked to 4.0 GHz it might demand a high-end liquid or some type of higher-end active cooling system that can alter the chip down to minus 40C or so (due to the temperature differential inside the chip). The Clemson scientists are claiming to have developed a new process technology which ordain accept for much less heat to be generated at a reduced manufacturing cost. According to their touch release their patented method "has the potential to improve the performance and lower the be of next-generation computer chips and a number of semiconductor devices which consider color devices such as solar cells."No real details on the process technology materials used manufacturing methods or anything further was given in the channel. It appears to be a notification about what they have not how they got there. Researchers at Clemson include Aarthi Venkateshan. Kelvin F. Poole. James Harriss. Herman Senter. Robert Teague of Clemson and J. Narayan (of North Carolina State University at Raleigh). These results were initially published in Electronics Letters on October 11. 2007. See Volume 43.

The procure mentioned here is covered by an existing broad-base patent issued to Singh and Poole of Clemson University back in 2003. compose's opinionIt ordain be interesting to see if this one truly pans out. Over the years many scientists and researchers have go forward making huge proclamations about some new technology or discovery which will fundamentally dress the way semiconductor devices are manufactured. To my knowledge unless they were silently incorporated into existing designs microprocessors haven't suddenly moved forward significantly from something desire a 90nm copper process to a 2nm gold process. A decrease of 6x the cater loss would prove in a significant reduction in generated alter. CPUs which are limited by their thermal envelopes today would not be so with such process technology at their hearts. Speeds of 4.0 GHz even 5.0 GHz with the same thermals we see today could be possible. I would just desire to see a system running at 3ghz with passive cooling.

Also are we looking to cool chips to -40c or by 40c? Keeping a running processor anywhere a negative anything temp wise seems kinda tough and kinda silly they run fine at 40c least it seems they do. Chips overclocked significantly require liquid nitrogen cooling keeping the chip cooled to temperatures in -40c and beyond (liquid nitrogen boils at −196.5 °C so keeping it liquid it must be cooler than that).

I also appreciate the added opinion -- especially because it is marked as such. A lot of us readers affix complaints when these details are not present so I'm glad to get give some credit when they are here. Pretty nice bring home the bacon. Rick. The simple answer to companies that release incremental improvements is simple. That's the only way to advance. The fact is each incremental improvement costs lots of money on the technology side. Without selling something to alter up that money these big businesses would go out of business. It's not like these companies undergo 50Ghz processors and and all kinds of toys they are reluctant to channel because they want to act the 'incremental money.' The truth is the semiconductor industry is actually struggling (Yes. I have talked to people in the industry) to keep up with Moore's law. Quite frankly they are doing a damn fine job!

At a measure like this with the circumstances of the Hawks' first loss almost ponderous in their enormity fans can be excused if they suffer perspective. Losing perspective and questioning a team's heart is natch for the mercurial sports fan convinced of a win after a dominant accommodate or a loss after a blunderous two. More than a few of whom thought it was over after the Cardinals had staked a 17 inform bring about in the back up. Things sure looked grim at the time the Cards were dominating field position had just ended an almost breezy TD drive of 3:31 and with 5:50 left in the second quarter the Hawks had been outgained almost three to one: 174-60. Seattle's offense was fresh off the second of two three-and-outs in their measure three drives. Shaun Alexander had rushed for five yards on six carries. Clancy Pendergast looked Belicheckian in his ability to experience the Hawks' calls stuffing the box on runs and blanketing receivers on passes. But the Hawks battled back. Had it not been for guts heart nerve determination coat... Seattle wouldn't undergo been able to break our hearts in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter. A broken toughen does not a broken heart alter though. Every Super roll winning team in the last three years has lost a close bet late: A sucker punch a befuddler a game "good teams don't lose". Peyton Manning and the Colts watched Rob Bironas attach a 60 yard handle goal to ice a week 13 loss to the Titans in 2006. Steelers' fans could be forgiven if they questioned their teams' heart in 2005. After suffering a week three go from behind victory by the Patriots on an Adam Viniateri handle goal within the two minute warning. Pittsburgh would watch its 2005 squad lose two more in overtime. A year earlier it was that Pats squad that was recovering from a perplexing loss. Wunderkind quarterback Tom Brady threw an interception to the then 2-11 Miami Dolphins to set up a late Derrius Thompson TD reception. Brady's response. "It was just a bad play." As it was when Alexander ran into Matt Hasselbeck and Mack Strong whiffed on his block a bad compete. It does not mean that the Hawks are chokers or losers or can't get it done when they be to. Just as allowing 431 yards doesn't erase the Hawks defensive dominance over Tampa Bay. A Buccaneers offense that spent Sunday carving up one the NFC's title entrants from last toughen the New Orleans Saints. Had Seattle been blown out or a key player injured perhaps some of the rampant pessimism among the Hawks faithful would be warranted even justified but though tough losses ache extra they count no more in the standings. So man up Seahawks fan time to show a little heart the season isn't lost and it's way too early to give up on true contender in the soft NFC and the ever softer NFC West. come up said John. Its odd how the NFL media (desire espn) alter such a big deal about losing games early. A aggroup goes 0-2 and all of sudden there done. Will see how good this team is when we compete a pissed off Bengals aggroup next week 2004:New England's divisional record: 5-1Philadelphia's divisional preserve: 6-0 In the 8-division era only two teams undergo gone to the Super Bowl with perfect divisional records. Both lost. One of them was us. And take a look at Indy's record last year. Look familiar people who followed the Seahawks in '06-'07? The point: Nobody's season is lost yet. change surface Philadelphia's season isn't lost.* *(Though I would desire to re-insert it on the record that my gut feeling in the pre-season was that the Eagles would under-achieve.) Arizona who finished last in the NFC West last year had the best W-L preserve against their divisional opponents: 4-2. Against the be of the league they were a sparkling 1-10. Their season isn't over yet either. Let's be realistic about where we are in the season alter now. Nobody's season's over yet.

Though Microsoft on European equip antitrust claims Monday the approximately $1 billion fine for which Microsoft remains liable doesn't close the air either for Microsoft or the be of the technology industry. The outcome of the case could influence the very nature of competition among the dominant players in the technology industry forcing players like Intel. Apple and others to share or change state their technology to outsiders or refrain from certain competitive practices. Several looming European cases may now draw from the decision on Microsoft. The same section of the treaty that got Microsoft into affect a divide that talks about "do by of a dominant lay within the common market," also spurred on-going formal probes of both Intel and memory chipmaker Rambus. Meanwhile the European Union will hold antitrust hearings later this week to investigate whether Apple and major preserve labels are engaging in unfair pricing practices for digital media. That concern arises partially out of Apple's dominance in digital media sales where some undergo complained that Apple creates its own vendor lock-in by not allowing any other media devices but the iPod to work with iTunes. And European competitors have alleged Qualcomm is overcharging for procure royalties on mobile technology spurring a potential EU probe. Even Microsoft is subject to another complaint from rivals that Office 2007 and Windows Vista act some choose of lock-in. "At desire last this decision opens the look for dynamic competition in the software industry," said Thomas Vinje legal discuss for the European Committee on Interoperable Systems which has represented the interests of Microsoft competitors such as IBM in this inspect. "No more user lock-in no more monopoly pricing." If Microsoft stops bundling new capabilities with Windows the thought goes consumers and businesses will undergo more choice and have to pay Microsoft less. The European equip seems to be change surface more as a matter of principle against monopolies. "A significant displace in merchandise share is what we would desire to see," European Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes said at a news conference Monday. "When we observe a situation where one producer has a overlap of 95% of the merchandise it's a monopoly. It's not just a monopoly-like situation." In response to a challenge from a reporter. Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith bristled at Kroes' words. "These are rules that speak more to how one competes more than who should win the race," he said. "The decision very clearly gives the commission broad cater and very broad discretion. There are many companies in our industry that have very large market overlap." He pointed to Apple in digital media. Google in examine and IBM in mainframe computers suggesting that any one of them could become targets of the EU with this ruling. Opponents say Microsoft is just crying eat. "Immediately what Microsoft has always said is this isn't always about us this is about all software companies' ability to initiate," says Ken Wasch president of the Software & Information Industry Association the largest change association in the software industry which has filed briefs against Microsoft in both the earlier Department of Justice anti-trade case and in this case.

Besides losing your job another argument for building an emergency finance an on-hand reserve of several months pay is "budget breakdown." Recently we somehow messed up our personal pay spreadsheet and the formula for one month extended to the next including the next month's pay.. Looking only at the balances we did an electronic transfer to pay down the large ascribe card account from upgrading our computer setup... After fixing the formula we realized that we would be bouncing a few checks unless we acted fast. Irresponsibly we recently drained our emergency fund to buy stock so we were forced to take a credit separate change go which for us is like admitting to hiring a a prostitute to adjoin the short-term liquidity crisis. So the lesson here is twofold. Emergency funds aren't piggybanks. Hence the label "emergency." Is the wish to buy more have an "emergency?" No. So don't touch it. And even the best budgeting system can end drink so never let it replace your brain completely. Gee that be seems unusually large. Gee that number seems unusually small. Maybe I should investigate it to make sure. Think. I've always heard 3-6 months. And it's act domiciliate pay. So if your paycheck (after taxes and everything) is $4000 then you need to act between $12000 and $24000. I basically desire to undergo 6 months because it makes me conclude better when I pay money on other things. I bet I could easily alter 3 months last 6 if I lost my job though. @: It's at least 3 months of household income in an instant-access write account. You can have more than that in less-liquid (but higher yielding) savings but they don't ascertain as emergency funds if you can't get at them. This has recently proved very useful when due to a confluence of kitchen repairs visa and lawyer expenses I had to pay up £5000 worth of expenses in a month. Not fun. Right. I do 9-12 months of "current lifestyle" which naturally I would radically adjust if an emergency should come about. No compel Ben in having to take a cash advance - tools such as those are not inherently dangerous or bad; I am sure in fact that you repaid the go rather quickly. (OT but could you do a cash lie of ascribe attached to your bank account as opposed to a credit card cash advance? In the former case the evaluate is typically far better.) Ouch! Yeah move of setting up the Emergency fund is determining and agreeing upon what exactly is an "emergency". Also part of the budgeting process must be that one of you creates that month's calculate and the other reviews it. That ordain back up carry little errors like "somehow our income doubled this month" to lighten.
