VIDEO: Bruins broadcaster Jack Edwards goes off on Matt Cooke

By Brian Stubits |

More NHL: Scores | Standings | Odds | Fight-O-Meter | League Leaders | Rumors

Last season, Matt Cooke made what many saw as a remarkable turnaround in his game. He went from the NHL's most hated player and cheap-shot artist to a law-abiding hockey player.

It was enough to earn Cooke the nod from the Pittsburgh press as the Penguins' Masterton Trophy nominee last season. For those who don't know the Masterton Trophy is awarded annually to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey. The Pittsburgh press felt like his turnaround deserved the attention.

Bruins broadcaster Jack Edwards couldn't disagree more.

Moments after the Bruins scored on a power play via a Cooke penalty on Saturday afternoon, Edwards took the chance to reminisce on the decision from the scribes in Pittsburgh. He was particularly offended given he remembers how Cooke hit Marc Savard and presumably ended his career.

The money line from Edwards: "Nominating Cooke for the Masterton is about the equivalent of nominating Sirhan Sirhan as the prisoner of the year."

For those unfamiliar with Sirhan Sirhan, here is his Wikipedia page.

Merits of the discussion aside, the timing just seems so incredibly poor from Edwards. Most times, it would be seen as just Edwards being Edwards, a bit over the top and bombastic. But this was the first day after the manhunt that locked down the city of Boston for a whole day. The city is recovering from the tragic bombings at the Boston Marathon. It just comes across as tone deaf. There's a time and place; this just didn't seem like the time or place, to more or less compare Cooke to an assassin.

I wonder if Edwards and Senators owner Eugene Melnyk are buddies.

UPDATE: Edwards issued an apology during the first intermission.

Strategic Focus

The CDC Ghana office opened in 2008 with a focus on the scale-up of HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment programming, and has established close working relationships with the Ghana AIDS Commission, Ghana Health Service (GHS), the policy making body and implementing body of the government of Ghana, as well as with other implementing partners.

Strengthening Laboratory Systems and Networks
CDC is working directly with Ghana’s Ministry of Health (MoH) to build capacity and strengthen lab systems necessary to support the scale-up of HIV services in the country. CDC’s support includes assistance with the development of a national laboratory strategic plan, laboratory policy and procedures, laboratory information systems and quality management system critical to the accreditation of public sector laboratories and long-term sustainability of programs.

Building Surveillance & Health Information Systems
CDC is supporting Ghana to establish in-country capacity and infrastructure to implement and evaluate HIV/AIDS-related surveillance systems and to support stakeholders to use the HIV/AIDS data for program planning and evaluation. CDC is also supporting the improvement of the national health information system to collect high-quality data essential for decision making. In 2015, CDC is supporting a formative assessment of people who inject drugs (PWID) in southern Ghana and a nationwide survey to assess biological and behavioral risk factors among men who have sex with (MSM). CDC and USAID are collaborating to implement a key population implementation science study to test interventions to improve linkages to HIV services and retention in HIV care and treatment services.

Capacity Building
In partnership with the Ghana AIDS Commission (GAC) and the School of Public Health (SPH), CDC developed a curriculum and provided training to monitoring and evaluation (M&E) focal points of organizations providing HIV services to build their capacity in M&E. CDC is supporting the GAC through a cooperative agreement to maintain a national database of HIV/AIDS epidemiologic and program data collected at the community and facility levels.

Key Activities and Accomplishments

Laboratory and Blood Safety Capacity Building
Between 2011 and 2014, CDC supported WHO-AFRO Stepwise Accreditation activities in Ghana with the objective of strengthening laboratory services and systems in order to provide accurate, reliable, and quality test results. Seventeen top tier public laboratories were enrolled in the program. To date, ten of the laboratories have been assessed by external auditors from the African Society for Laboratory Medicine (ASLM). Four of the laboratories achieved a four- star rating (maximum is five stars). The Ghana laboratories represent almost half of the nine laboratories (in the 45 laboratories in 11 African countries assessed by ASLM) that achieved a rating of four or five stars.

Strategic Information
In 2014, the National AIDS Control Program fully migrated collection of HIV program data to the national health information system. Aggregated data reported by health facilities include HIV patients who have been lost to follow-up and AIDS related deaths.

Vital Signs: Alcohol Screening and Counseling

Press Briefing Transcript

Tuesday, January 7, 2014 at 12:00 E.T.

OPERATOR: Welcome, and thank you for standing by. At this time all participants will be in a listen only mode. After the presentation we'll conduct a question and answer session. To ask your question, please press star 1. Today's conference is being recorded. If you have any objections you may disconnect at this time. I will now turn the meeting over to Mr. Tom Skinner. You may begin.

TOM SKINNER: Thanks, Christi, and thank you all for joining us for the release of another CDC Vital Signs, the first of 2014, this one on communication between health professionals and their patients when it comes to alcohol use in 44 states and the District of Columbia, 2011. With us today is the director of the CDC, Dr. Tom Frieden who will provide some opening remarks, and then we will move to your questions. So, Dr. Frieden?

TOM FRIEDEN: Thanks very much for joining us today for this month's Vital Signs report. Every month we focus on the latest data about one critical health issue facing the country and what we know can be done about it. This month we're addressing communication about alcohol use between health professionals and their patients. Drinking too much causes about 88,000 deaths a year in the U.S. and costs our economy more than $220 billion. It also causes a very wide range of health, social, and other problems. Ranging from injury to damage to the liver and heart and nerves, to depression and violence, to problems with personal and social life to motor vehicle crashes, hypertension and heart attacks, fetal alcohol syndrome, sudden alcohol-- sudden infant death syndrome, and sexually transmitted diseases from behavior that would not have occurred without problem drinking. So, drinking is a serious problem for many people and, in fact, at least 38 million adults in the U.S. drink too much. Now, one thing that many people may not recognize is that the vast majority of those individuals are not alcoholic. In fact, for every one person who is alcoholic, there are about six who are problem drinkers, drinking enough to adversely affect their lives, their health, their work situation or family situation, but who are not alcoholic. Drinking too much includes binge drinking, high average drinking, and any alcohol consumed by pregnant women and people under the age of 21, as well as people who are drinking and driving or operating heavy machinery. People often don't understand the phrase of binge drinking. Binge drinking for men refers to more than four alcoholic drinks at one setting, and for women, at more than three at one setting. That would be generally over the course of a few hours.

Now, we are not saying here that people should not drink at all. What we're saying is that for people who drink heavily, there are serious health problems, and there is a really important new thing that we understand, which is that brief intervention, that is alcohol screening and brief counseling, can substantially reduce the amount of alcohol consumed on occasion, and unfortunately, alcohol screening and brief intervention is not happening often enough. Now, what does that consist of? Alcohol screening can be done very simply by a-- using a form or a couple of quick question, and brief intervention or brief counseling is a conversation with a health worker -- can be the doctor, can be the nurse, can be a variety of other people in the practice, or in the health care system -- that focuses on what the patient is doing what the patient wants to do, and a plan for what the patient will do in the future. It sounds so simple that it's hard to believe, but it is very effective for many patients. Counseling for five, ten, or no more than 15 minutes can result in a substantial reduction in problem drinking. Drinking too much alcohol has a lot more risks than most people realize, and alcohol screening and counseling can help people set realistic goals for themselves and help them achieve those goals.

Now, what we did at CDC is analyze data from 44 states and the District of Columbia from 2011 and we found that the vast majority of people who see a doctor are not talking about alcohol, even three-quarters of people who are binge drinkers have not talked with their doctor about alcohol use, and even two-thirds of binge drinkers who binge at least ten times a month, have not discussed drinking with a health professional. In fact, only one out of six pregnant women have talked about drinking with their doctor and other health professional, and this was a case across all of the U.S. There was no state or district in which more than one out of four adults had talked with their health professional. We have a couple things coming together. One is that excess drinking is a serious problem in our society. Second, we have this tool, this technique that works really well to address it, but the third is, it's not being applied. Now, the first step in screening a patient is to use a set of questions on a form or asked by a provider, and that's followed by the counseling. Alcohol screening and brief intervention can occur in many different settings, primary care, OB GYN, emergency departments. It's already used as a routine in some trauma settings. Health professionals and health systems can implement alcohol screening and brief intervention by developing support within medical practices, using current guidelines, developing a plan and making it a standard practice, training staff on how to deliver the service, and pilot testing it and refining it to make it happen well. There are at least a couple of examples where whole health systems are doing this. In northern California, Kaiser Permanente has begun this just over the past half year. They've now provided more than 200,000 patients with brief onsite intervention or a referral to help reduce drinking if the patient wants to. In New York City the health department has been screening people in their sexually transmitted disease clinics, and they've been able to screen and counsel tens of thousands of patients through that. Doctors aren't the only ones who can deliver screening and brief counseling. Nurses, social workers, psychologists, health educators and others, can also be trained and effectively deliver this service. It should be a part of routine patient care. In the same way we screen patients for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, we should be screening for excess alcohol use and then respond appropriately.

Now, interestingly, health insurance plans can include this as part of a standard service, and integrate it with electronic health records to increase implementation, and there are many electronic tools that can be used to help deliver screening and counseling and make it easier for busy medical settings to address this. The Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends the use of electronic methods with computer and smartphones and mobile devices to deliver alcohol screening and brief intervention, because there's strong evidence it works. The federal government is now studying how best to achieve alcohol screening and brief counseling, and teach providers how to build and how to ensure that insurance covers this. The Affordable Care Act requires that new health insurance plans cover this service without any co-payment by the patients. We want all health professionals to screen their adult patients for alcohol use, because this works. Health professionals can support their patients by advising them of the U.S. dietary guidelines which recommend that people drink in moderation, if they choose to drink, don't drink at all if they're under age 21, if they might be pregnant, if they have any health problem that can be made worse by drinking, or if they're going to be driving or operating major machinery.

The bottom line here is that drinking too much is a big problem among U.S. adults. It shouldn't get a free pass when it comes to screenings by health professionals, but should be a part of all the screenings that are provided. Health professionals can use alcohol screening and brief intervention to help patients who drink too much drink less. And it takes only a few minutes to deliver. Through the Affordable Care Act, more Americans will have access to health coverage and preventive services, such as alcohol screening and brief intervention, without co-payment. So, thank you for joining us today and helping to get the word out about the importance of addressing this important health issue. I'll stop here and we can take some questions.

TOM SKINNER: Christi, I think we're ready for question, please.

OPERATOR: If you would like to ask a question, please press star 1. One moment, please. Our first question is from Deborah Brauser with Medscape Medical News.

DEBORAH BRAUSER: Hi, doctor. I have two quick questions for you. First of all, you've kind of touched on this, but if you were to boil it all down, would you say your number one recommendation for clinicians is really to screen absolutely all adult patients, not just the ones that you see as at-risk And the second question is, you mentioned, in the actual report, that the finding about the one in six being asked about current alcohol use hasn't really changed much in 15 years. Why do you think that is?

TOM FRIEDEN: Yes. We really do want this to be routine, we know that if doctors try to use their pre conceived notions of who may be at risk, they get it wrong. We all do. So, unless you ask, you can't get the answer. And what we find is that, particularly, issues of alcohol use and addiction are under recognized in the health care system. It may be that physicians are concerned that they won't have the time to deal with the positive answer. It may be that they're concerned about stigma. It may be that they think, incorrectly, that the patient may not be willing to enter into a discussion of the issues. A decade ago, McGlynn published really a landmark article in the New England Journal of Medicine about the quality of medical care in the U.S. One thing that always stood out for me about that article is the area in which the health care system did the worst of all of the areas was in screening and addressing addiction problems, alcohol and other substance abuse. It was down in the single digits for some of the questions that were assessed there. That's why it's really important that it become a routine and that every member of the health care team can play an important role. Doctors are busy, they have lots of things to do, but we can build in screening into routine registration and background questions that are asked about your general health status. It's quite important, not only in and of itself, but as it relates to other health problems like high blood pressure or adherence to medications. And then for those who screen positive there needs to be a routine way of delivering that brief intervention. That might be the doctor, it might be someone else on the team, it might be through an electronic technique of following up with the patient. We need to really move the needle on getting to scale of having conversations with patients, because those conversations can be very effective.

TOM SKINNER: Next question, Christi.

OPERATOR: Our next question is from David Beasley with Reuters News Service.

DAVID BEASLEY: Yes, Dr. Frieden, is there a good way to describe drinking too much as opposed to binge drinking? I have seen the standards for binge drinking, but what would the standards be for drinking too much?

TOM FRIEDEN: Well, first off, of all of the people who drink too heavily, the vast majority, probably three quarters, binge drink. If you focus on the binge drinking, you'll identify the vast majority of people who drink too much, and we know that binge drinking is quite problematic, because of the possibility of injury as well as other health problems. In terms of excess drinking, the guidelines that are disseminated by NIAAA are basically no more than on average two drinks a day. So that comes out to, for men, no more than 15 drinks-- excess would be 15 or more drinks on average per week. For women, more than one per day or eight or more drinks per week for women on average. And one drink there is five ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer or one and a half ounces of distilled spirits or liquor.

OPERATOR: Our next question is from Dan Childs with ABC.

DAN CHILDS: I just had a quick one. Why do you feel like it's important to have this message out there now? Is this a growing problem, or is this perceived to be a growing problem amongst adults?

TOM FRIEDEN: What we've seen at levels increased in the '90s, and have basically stayed stable since then. But there's still rates of problem drinking are still quite high. 88,000 people a year dying from alcohol and more than 200 dollars billion a year in societal costs. This is a heavy price to pay. In fact, if you look at the underlying causes of death in this country, alcohol is number four. Smoking is number one. Poor nutrition and lack of physical activity, numbers two and three, and alcohol number four. So, it is really one of the major drivers of preventable health problems in this country and around the world.

DAN CHILDS: Thank you.

OPERATOR: Our next question is from Kim Painter with USA Today.

KIM PAINTER: Hi. So, today's report is about adults. But what about adolescents who, of course, do some problem drinking, and are a population you're concerned about too?

TOM FRIEDEN: Yeah. We don't have as good an evidence base on what works in terms of counseling and brief intervention to reduce drinking in adolescents. We know that the earlier someone starts to drink the more likely it is they will have problems with alcohol over the course of their life and there are a number of interventions that have been proven to reduce youth drinking and those are reviewed by the community guide and on our website. There's a range of interventions. But in terms of specific screening and counseling, that's something we can get back to you with in more detail.

OPERATOR: Our next question is from Eben Brown, with Fox News radio.

EBEN BROWN: Evan Brown, actually. First question what counts as a brief intervention and why is it different than other types of intervention?

TOM FRIEDEN: A brief intervention is a structured counseling experience. It's a form of motivational interviewing. And it consists of a few key characteristics: working with the patient to define what their level of drinking is, looking at what are some of the problems that that brings with them, working with them on what are realistic plans that they want to achieve to reduce their amount of drinking. It might mean going from having, you know, six drinks on a Friday night to having three or four. And thinking about, in detail, how are they going to do that. That might mean spacing them out. That might mean drinking things beside alcohol when they're thirsty also, and having a way of following it up. This is a technique that can be taught to a health professional and a variety of other individuals in the community that can be motivational to reduce heavy drinking and can be effective. It involves listening to the patient and giving detailed feedback. What is striking is, many patients who have problem drinking patterns and unhealthy drinking patterns don't recognize that it's an unhealthy drinking pattern. And if the doctor isn't having that discussion, they can't be informed of that. And although certainly not every person is going to want to address that, many will. And of those who want to, many will be successful. But unless you ask, you can't have the conversation.

EBEN BROWN: Okay. Follow-up question real quick. Obviously, the drinking problem among Americans is not necessarily news. Why are you telling us about this today? Is it the fact that this service is now more widely available under new health care laws or is this something that was crossing your mind?

TOM FRIEDEN: Well, we have new data. So, for the first time in a while, we looked at how often our doctors and other health professionals, talking with their patients about drinking, and we have this data from 44 states and the District of Columbia. We didn't have it before. So, this is a new data release, and what it shows is it's not happening. What it shows is that even among those who binge drink, three quarters not having a conversation with a health professional. Even among those who binge drink ten times a month or more. Two thirds are not having that discussion with a health professional. We have new data. The new data shows these conversations are not happening. It is also the case that we have new knowledge these interventions are very effective and simple to apply and new opportunities for people to undergo brief intervention because of more coverage, and because there's a requirement to cover brief intervention without co-pay. And the reason for that requirement is that it's a recommended service of the US Preventive Service Task Force, and the reasoning behind that is very straightforward. If there's something that works as prevention, we shouldn't make people pay for it.

OPERATOR: Our next question from Nancy Shute with NPR.

NANCY SHUTE: Yes. You're saying that doctors aren't doing their job and it's obviously going to take a while to turn this around because there hasn't been much change in years. What are patients supposed to do about this?

TOM FRIEDEN: Well, patients-- there are a lot of electronic tools that patients can use online. They can go on to the web and assess themselves. And if they are seeing a doctor, they can bring it up. If they're asked about it they can be open about the discussion. The goal here is not tell people never take another drink unless there are people who cannot drink safely, the goal here is to have a conversation about what is the pattern of drinking for each individual that is least likely to lead to harm.

TOM SKINNER: Next question.

OPERATOR: Our next question is from Elizabeth Kuhr with Time Magazine.

ELIZABETH KUHR: Hi, there. Thank you. I was wondering what your suggestion is for those not see doctors. You mentioned education. But if you had any other ideas?

TOM FRIEDEN: Well, there are a lot of tools available online. You can assess your own drinking. You can get assistance to cut it down if it's too high. So, we encourage people to get into care and to see a doctor regularly to see what resources are available. But there are also lots of electronic tools out there. There are also lots of community groups that are available to talk with people and be involved in to reduce problem drinking.

OPERATOR: Our next question is from John Reichard with Congressional Quarterly.

JOHN REICHARD: Hi. Thanks. I don't know if you covered this or not exactly. But what I wonder about is the extent to which insurance coverage still remains an issue, even though the Affordable Care Act is requiring coverage. And if you could touch on what Medicaid and Medicare benefits are in this area?

TOM FRIEDEN: Thanks, John. I think, you know, frankly, there's a gap between saying it has to be provided without copay, and saying it has to be provided. We know doctors are busy, medical practices are busy. The places that have been able to scale this up effectively have used a team approach. Have had trained counselors, following up on patients who screen positive. And so while it's a covered service under Medicare and Medicaid, and while new plans need to provide it without copay, one of the reasons we're releasing this report is we're not getting to scale in delivery of this intervention. And groups like Kaiser Permanente of northern California have shown the way to do that. They've provide hundreds of thousands of brief interventions in just a few months after making this part of their system. And I think that's what we find often with health care. It's not enough, just as it's not enough to say to a patient you should do x or y. It’s not enough to say to doctors you should do z or y. We need to look at the whole system and to reduce problem drinking, brief intervention is one tool. There are a series of other tools different communities can consider. Those are outlined in our community guide. And for medical practices there are a series of interventions needed to set up a system. There's not a question, oh, did I remember to do that. But it's a routine checklist of what gets screened for, and for people who screen positive, how they get followed up.

JOHN REICHARD: Okay. Thank you.

OPERATOR: Once again, to ask your question, please press star 1. Brian Krans with Healthline News.

BRIAN KRANS: Hi, Dr. Frieden. I know we're talking about binge drinking and problem drinking. For everyone listening to the news coverage or this, what are good signs people's habits are starting to border on alcoholism?

TOM FRIEDEN: Again. As I said at the outset, for every one person who has alcoholism, there are at least six who are problem drinkers. So the vast majority of the harms from alcohol are caused by people who are not alcoholic. But, for the people who are wondering whether they may have alcoholism, some of the clues to that is if someone continues to drink despite having serious problems with their life. So they're unable to stop, despite having physical, psychological, social, or other problems, not being able to cut down or stop. Not being able to stick to limits of drinking, needing to drink more and more to get the same effect, having withdrawal if they stop drinking. All of these are clues that it may have progressed from heavy drinking to alcoholism.

BRIAN KRANS: Thank you.

OPERATOR: There are no further questions.

TOM FRIEDEN: Okay. Well, I want to thank everyone for joining us. I know when we discuss alcohol, people sometimes think oh my goodness, why are you raising this issue? We are not saying that no one should drink. Most people who drink do so without adverse health problems. But, for many people who drink, they drink too much, too much at a time, or too much overall, and that causes a very wide range of health problems and the new data that we're releasing today shows that the health system is not doing an effective job finding out about those problems and helping patients who want to reduce their alcohol use to reduce it. We do have this very effective technique of brief counseling that substantially reduces problem drinking, but isn't yet being applied, so we're looking forward to working with an increasing number of health systems, health providers, community groups and others to see this new intervention, this new technique more rapidly applied and we appreciate your interest and your coverage.

TOM SKINNER: Thank you. Christi, this concludes our call and reporters who may have follow-up questions or need additional information can call the CDC press office at 404-639-3286. So, thank you once again for joining us.

OPERATOR: Thank you for participating in today's conference, the conference has concluded and you may disconnect at this time.

Scott Colom: Drug court helps taxpayers, society

May 25, 2011 12:12:00 PM

Scott Colom -

Last week, Circuit Court Judge Lee Howard presented plans for a drug court in Judicial District 16, which includes Lowndes, Oktibbeha, Noxubee and Clay counties. Drug court allows drug addicts and abusers (not dealers) to receive rehabilitative services instead of prison time. The drug court includes three to five years of intense drug rehabilitation, such as counseling and drug testing, court supervision, and education and employment assistance. This new approach is a free market strategy to decrease drug use and has the potential to save millions of tax dollars for Mississippians.

Since the Nixon administration declared a "war on drugs," the state and federal government''s approach to drug use has been to attack the supply of illegal drugs. This has mostly consisted of high arrest and incarceration rates for drug abuse and aid to other countries to stop foreign traffickers. Forty years later, the evidence shows this strategy failed to curb drug use. The number of illicit drug users has steadily risen and is currently estimated at 21.8 million. Decreases in the use of cocaine and heroin have been replaced with increases in use of prescription drugs, ecstasy and methamphetamine.

While drug use has not declined over this time, incarceration rates and the tax dollars required to enforce drug laws increased dramatically. Incarceration rates have risen by more than 300 percent over the last 40 years - America currently has the highest incarceration rate in the world - and the bulk of this increase is the result of convictions for non-violent, drug offenses. To support the additional police, prosecutors, security guards, and prisons necessary for this increase, the government has spent more than 2.5 trillion tax dollars, with the state of Mississippi spending hundreds of millions.

Yet, recent studies have demonstrated that reducing the demand for illegal drugs - a free market approach - is more cost effective. Most people convicted of drug possession are drug addicts and have high recidivism rates. Focusing on the demand for illegal drugs, rather than trying to stop the supply, addresses the addiction that causes the crime. The less people are addicted to drugs, the less drug addicts there are to arrest or re-arrest. Reducing the demand for drugs also decreases the supply, which means there are less drug dealers destroying communities and less tax money needed to fight them.

For example, Texas has recently taken steps to fight drug use with more community based treatment and the results have been a reduction in the prison population and billions of dollars in projected savings for tax payers. For those that believe focusing more on rehabilitation will increase crime, the crime rate has dropped ten percent since Texas implemented these reforms. Therefore, by taking a free market approach, Texas was able to spend less on prisons and increase public safety.

Over the next 10 years, a drug court in Judicial District 16 has the potential to save millions of tax dollars. As judge Howard recently pointed out, 80 percent of all crimes committed in Mississippi are drug related. It costs around $16 million a year to incarcerate people in Lowndes County, and this doesn''t include the millions in other costs associated with incarceration. Rehabilitation isn''t perfect - Judge Howard reported that around 40 percent of the participants in the drug court successfully complete the program - but successfully rehabilitating four out of 10 drug users will decrease recidivism, the taxes spent incarcerating addicts and the number of drug dealers.

Predictably, certain people are not going to approve of any rehabilitative approach to drug use. They will demagogue it as "soft" on crime, ignoring the fact that drug use is mostly a crime against one''s family and one''s self. They may argue we should decrease prison spending by taking away luxuries for prisoners, like food and beds. They may say sending all drug users to jail makes them feel safe, despite the evidence that incarcerating drug users does not increase public safety. Before deciding whether to believe those arguments or whether to give the drug court a chance, remember the trillions of tax dollars spent fighting the "war on drugs" and ask yourself one question: What have we won?

Taiwan ODD makers: Slim Super Multi drives may reach the mainstream in 2005

Falling OEM prices for slim-type Super Multi DVD burners may create competitive pressure for slim-type 8x DVD Dual drives, which have become the mainstream specification for burners used by international notebook PC vendors, according to Taiwan makers of optical drives.

DVD Dual burners support both the DVD+RW and DVD-RW formats.

Leading international brands, including Hewlett-Packard (HP), Dell and Sony, have adopted 8x slim-type DVD Dual burners for most of their burner-equipped notebook PCs launched in the second half of this year, with only a few entry-level business notebook models coming equipped with the DVD+RW standard only, the makers indicated.

Since Super Multi is also compatible with DVD-RAM, OEM quotations for 4x slim-type Super Multi drives are generally US$10-15 higher than 8x slim-type DVD Dual drives. However, Hitachi-LG Data Storage (HLDS) and Matsushita Electric (Panasonic) have recently reduced their OEM quotations for slim-type 4x Multi Super drives by US$5-10, the makers pointed out.

If HLDS and Matsushita offer slim-type 8x Super Multi drives at more competitive prices as well, Super Multi may be able to compete with DVD Dual for the mainstream slim-type burner format in 2005, the makers noted.

The emergence of slim-type Super Multi as an alternative mainstream drive format will force companies such as Lite-On IT, BenQ and Quanta Storage, which all produce DVD Dual drives, to maintain strict cost controls for their production of slim-type DVD Dual burners next year, the makers predicted.

Sony Delivers New Touch-screen HD PCTV, PC/TV, VAIO X Series and VAIO CW Series Blu-ray Notebooks

Sony today unveiled its new touch-enabled, multi-media machine- the VAIO L Touch HD PC/TV, took the wraps off the ultra-light notebook - the VAIO X Series as well as the new VAIO CW Series notebook featuring Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.

VAIO L Series Puts TV, Internet and Blu-ray Disc Movies One Touch Away

Sony unveiled its new touch-enabled, multi-media machine - the VAIO L Touch HD PC/TV.

The VAIO L Series' multi-touch screen offers easy access to the PC, HDTV, DVR.

Equipped with a 24-inch (diagonal) WUXGA (1920x1080) widescreen panel, the unit displays high-definition content in Full HD resolution.

Select models feature a Blu-ray Disc optical drive. A rewritable BD drive for recording, storing and playing back personal content on high-capacity BD media is also available.

Select models feature a built-in tuner so users can connect to their digital cable TV service and Over-The-Air (ATSC) HD TV signals (antenna required) and watch television on their PC.

An optional HDMI input is available, so in addition to the unit's built-in HD features users can connect a compatible HD cable box, satellite receiver or PLAYSTATION 3 (all sold separately) via a single cable and enjoy HD entertainment without powering on the PC.

And with built-in DVR capabilities and up to a terabyte of storage, users can create a personal entertainment library with up to 100 hours of HD television.

It comes with Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional 64-bit operating system. Leveraging these new operating systems, the L Series is able to offer new functionalities such as a touch screen display.

Launch directly into Sony's own Media Gallery software by pushing the designated VAIO button on the keyboard and create high-quality home movies and slideshows in three simple steps. Users can also import photos and video, choose a theme and soundtrack, click finish and the software does the rest, generating a movie complete with special effects - all by touching the screen.

The unit packs an Intel Core 2 Quad processor (select models), loads of RAM, and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce series graphics for graphic-intense gaming and movies.

The notebooks also come equipped with a built-in wireless 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi technology.

The model has a mounting capability that allows users to attach a VESA-compatible mount to it and hang it on the wall.

When not mounted to the wall, the L Series features an adjustable stand to help userrs adjust the unit to meet their desired viewing or touch angle or simply to decrease the slant for space-saving. A wireless keyboard, mouse and remote control are included.

The VAIO L Touch HD PC/TV will start at about $1,300. It is available for pre-orders today online at www.sonystyle.com/pr/l. It will also be sold at Sony Style stores and select U.S. retailers starting next month.

New VAIO X Series

Sony also took the wraps off the world's lightest notebook - the VAIO X Series.

Housed in a lightweight carbon-fiber chassis, the X Series weighs just1.6 pounds (with standard battery) and is just over a half-inch thin - roughly the width of a cell phone.

It features a 16:9 aspect ratio 11.1-inch (diagonal) LED backlight display.

The X Series is also supplied with both a standard and super-extended capacity battery, delivering up to 3.5 hours for the standard battery and up to 14 hours for the super-extended capacity battery.

The unit's touchpad features a multi-touch functionality commonly associated with touch-enabled smartphones. This means that users can zoom in and out, flip through pictures, rotate items clockwise and counterclockwise, and scroll vertically and horizontally without ever touching the mouse.

The X Series integrates wireless 3G Mobile Broadband technology provided by Verizon Wireless Mobile Broadband Built-In, Wi-Fi (802.11n), and Bluetooth wireless technologies. For 3G Mobile Broadband technology, a separate Verizon service subscription is required.

The model also incorporates real-time GPS functionality. Destinations can be found by simply typing in an address or keyword and then following the turn-by-turn directions. It even includes estimated drive times to let you know how far you are from a destination (United States or Canada only). No Internet connection is required in the United States or Canada.

The X Series incorporates a solid state drive (SSD) used in place of the spinning hard disk drive found in most computers. It will come with Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.

The VAIO X Series notebook will come in two colors, black and gold, and start at about $1,300. It is available for pre-orders today online at www.sonystyle.com/pr/x. It will also be sold at Sony Style stores and select U.S. retailers starting next month.

The Colorful New VAIO CW Series Notebooks

The CW Series notebook features a 14-inch (diagonal) widescreen display with a 16:9 aspect ratio in a thin-and-light chassis.

The notebook features an optional Blu-ray Disc drive. It also lets users playback HD content on your compatible big screen HDTV, via the unit's incorporated HDMI output. An incorporated NVIDIA GeForce dedicated graphics card ensures users get the best out of their HD entertainment.

It comes in five colors: red, pink, white, black and purple.

Sony's VAIO Movie Story software breaks complex movie production into three simple steps, freeing users from tedious hours spent mastering difficult and expensive video editing software.

The VAIO CW series notebook starts at about $780. It will be available at the end of the month online at www.sonystyle.com/cwseries, Sony Style stores and at other major retailers in the U.S.

Vantec PSU

2. Connectors

In this page, we will be taking a closer look at the PSU itself. The ION 2 has a lot of cables for connecting to the motherboard and any installed devices. Unlike other similar PSUs on the market, the ION 2 does not offer the option of removing any unused cables as all cables are fixed to the PSU. All cables are pre-sleeved though, making the inside of the case as clutter free as possible.

Above we have a side view of the PSU with the AC/DC input and output voltages, the model name VAN-460N, and various approval markings. Note here, that as the manufacturer warns, the cover of the PSU should not be removed, as there are no serviceable components inside. Vantec offers a 3 year warranty with the PSU.

The PSU as seen from the back. This is the part that is visible from the rear of the PC case once installed. There are the power input socket and an on-off switch, as well as 115/230V voltage selector switch on the far left of the case. The entire back plate is perforated and unlike traditional PSUs, there's no exhaust fan at the rear.

This is the PSU fan, top and side views. The ION 2 has a single 120mm fan, which is the primary reason why the ION 2 is so quiet. Its low rotation speed keeps the PSU silent and only when the temperatures exceed a certain threshold does the FAN rotate at max speed. Even then, the noise is still relatively low.

The pre-sleeved Molex power cables used for standard devices. Notice the Ez-Grip technology which makes for easy installation and removal.

The ION 2 also has 2 SATA power connectors, covering the basic needs of users with SATA devices (hard drives, optical storage devices) installed.

This is the 24-pin to 20-pin adaptor used with the PSU. The Universal adaptor, ensures that the PSU can be installed in motherboards with a 20-pin connection (like the one used in our review). The PSU by default has the 24-pin power connector cable.

This is the 24-pin connector cable on the ION 2. As explained in the previous screenshot, the use of an adaptor (included in the retail package) is required for 20-pin motherboards.

The standard 4-pin connector, also pre-sleeved. Ready to be plugged into the motherboard.

Last but not least, the 6-pin connector which comes on a separate line that is used to supply PCI-E graphic cards that use an extra power supply cable.

Now, let's move on with the review and the installation of the ION 2 PSU.

Did Cory Monteith and Lea Michele Split Up Before His Death?

Did Cory Monteith and Lea Michele Split Up Before His Death?

In the days since Cory Monteith’s death, one question still haunts me – why wasn’t Lea Michele with him? I hate doing mindless speculation leading to more gossip surrounding a tragedy, but I was a huge fan of Cory’s and more importantly, I was a huge fan of the work he was doing to help the at-risk youth in Vancouver. Nobody spoke more passionately about helping youth find a voice, especially those that had a difficult and drug-addled childhood.

But even then, Vancouver is his old stomping ground and heroin is so readily available in the city. Coming off of a one month rehab stint, why did Lea let him to go to Vancouver alone? Why wasn’t she with him? She was instead on vacation somewhere else, and while Cory has family in Vancouver, it’s not like he was staying with them.

I get that there’s an element of trust in relationships, but Lea and Cory had been going out for two years – I hardly think that Cory would have thought she was being ‘clingy’ if she insisted on tagging along. And besides which, when your boyfriend has just come out of rehab for drug addiction, would you let him go back to the city where his drug addiction started in the first place? That too, alone? He apparently wasn’t there for business reasons, and it’s not like Lea had somewhere pressing to be.

This lends us to wonder – however baseless it may be – whether Lea and Cory were still together before his death. Of course, sources have confirmed that she was, and that Lea and Cory were actually planning on eventually getting married. But the timing and the situation just strikes me as odd. I guess Cory had everyone fooled.

    She wasnt even on vacation at the time of his death. She was in LA because she had to be at the studio for her album she couldnt get out of. Its innappropriate to judge someone at the time of their grieving process. But she wasnt there because she had to work. Something that keeps her.from traveling. And dont you think she feels responsible making atricles pinning her as responsible is just rude and disrespectful. Its heartless. Let her be. They had their own lifes that the public doesn’t know and doesn’t need to know. Not everything is the publics business. Let her grieve in peace. she is overly emotional because the person she was ready to start a family died. That would make anyone overly emotional Obviously no one here has had a death of a person close to them. She is acting how she should. And their relationship is none of our damn business. If they did broke up she nor anyone else owes it to us to tell us about their private life. Its no ones business what she is goimg through.

    Ya not a fan the name either but I do like Grace. Can’t wait to see her! Wonder if they’ll have more kids ;)

    I knew they would give their little girl a traditional name, but I didn’t think it would be THIS traditional. Grace is pretty though.
    But the main thing is that she’s healthy and loved, which I’m sure she is. Congratulations to the Wahlberg family :)

Wanda Sykes On Conquering Cancer & Explaining It To Her Twins

Wanda Sykes On Conquering Cancer & Explaining It To Her Twins

The decision to undergo a bilateral mastectomy was an easy one for Wanda Sykes. After being diagnosed with DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ), the comedian wanted to give herself “the best odds” of beating the noninvasive breast cancer and sticking around for her partner Alex, and their 2-year-old twins Olivia and Lucas for many years to come.

“I made my decision because I love life,” Sykes, 47, tells People.

“My first thought was, ‘Really? Me, breast cancer?’” Wanda recalls of the day doctors discovered the cancer after her breast reduction surgery. “I just couldn’t believe it. But I knew this was doable.”

After a double mastectomy in August, Sykes spent the next month recovering at home with her family.

“I was miserable,” says Wanda. “Every day I had to change the bandages and look at it, and it was not pretty at all. I just wanted my life back.”

Regardless of how difficult things got, Sykes says that she and Alex were determined to be open and honest with the twins about her condition.

“We never hid anything from the kids. They were a huge part of my decision because I wanted to be around for them,” says Sykes.

Now, the mom-of-two says that she feels “whole again,” and is happy to be able to tell her children, “‘Mommy’s boo-boo is much better now.’”

For more of Wanda Syke’s interview with People, pick up the November 7 issue, on newsstands Friday.

    Sad no one commented on this post. It’s an incredible story. Imagine yourself waking up with 2 scars instead of boobs!! I have an immense amount of respect for what she went through.

  • adrienne

    I salute you my sister…been there done that 7 years ago…right breast only….was truly a scary situation….same diagnosis…opted for tamoxifen and right mastectomy….close survellance…so grateful to God for my healing. Early detection will save your life…please conquer the fear and go get your mammos!!!!

  • Audrey

    Bi-lateral mastectomy April 2000 and reconstruction Sept. 2000 and repeat reconstruction Jan 2010. Actually I usually forget that it ever happened. It doesn’t define me. It was something to do to keep on living and that’s what I’ve done. But ladies, keep getting those mammograms. My daughters never miss theirs.

Anthony Kiedis & His Art Class Cutie

Anthony Kiedis Takes His Son To A Painting Class In Malibu

Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis took his son Everly, nearly 6, to a painting class in Malibu, Calif. on Tuesday (August 20). The father-son duo kept it casual in tees and hats as they left the art studio.

We last spotted the pair in January Down Under, where Anthony, 50, and his bandmates were performing.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers recently performed some of their classic hits during a private backyard soiree at billionaire Chip Wilson‘s home in Vancouver, B.C. Canada.

The Lululemon founder paid the group an undisclosed amount to headline a private party for his wife Shannon’s 40th birthday.

Angelina Jolie: Big Smiles For Aniston

By: Matt Donnelly / February 22, 2009

Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston finally came face-to-face at the Academy Awards this evening. Thanks to the magic of ABC cameras.

While Aniston presented animated awards alongside Jack Black the Oscar camera brazenly flashed to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt siting in the front of the auditorium.

Aniston slunk out in a silvery number, looking a little tense.

As Black launched into a joke at DreamWorks’ expense, it was evident that Jennifer was there as straightwoman to his wisecracks.

As the jokes flew (and some flopped), the camera panned to Angelina giggling and giving a big ole’ smile. Defusing tension like the UN Goodwill Ambassador she is.

There was a slight hitch when Aniston and Black didn’t realize they weren’t done presenting, so they quickly moved back to the podium, looking a little confused.

Aniston lobbed softballs at Black, Black swung, and the cameras once again cut to Jolie looking amused.

But as far as Celebuzz can tell, no blood was shed.

Hi. I'm from Colorado, though I recently moved.

I can't say I eat out much, but I like Udi's Bread Cafe, Abrusci's Italian, and Lala's Wine Bar (all are in Denver). I hear Panzano is pretty good as well. Root Down in the Highlands can do gluten-free, dairy-free for some of their menu items.

Here's a list a local restaurants from GIG Colorado: http://www.gigcolora...estaurants.aspx.

Another one from Boulder County Celiacs: http://www.boulderco...urant-list.html

As for health food stores, I usually shop at Vitamin Cottage. They are a chain and have stores throughout Denver and at least one in Fort Collins.

Hope this helps!

There are some really great gluten free and paleo restaurants that have popped up here in the last few years. PALEOOMG.com lives in the Denver area and she constantly posts/reviews great new restaurants along with awesome recipes. If the spot is paleo, it is definitely gluten free. Sprouts and Alfalfa have good selections of products along with whole foods of course. I'm surprised to see that King Soopers is getting better.

Where have you guys found?

Any support groups in the Denver metro area that you know of?

Central Penn College - A Message from the President

A Message from the President

Dr. Karen Scolforo

Right from my first visit to the Summerdale campus, I knew Central Penn College was in a class of its own. I was impressed to see a distinctive, career-focused institution—a college that is committed to holistic student development and the preparation of its graduates for job readiness in a business, medical or governmental environment.

What most resonates with me about Central Penn College is the student body. I see proud, spirited students who are energized by passionate faculty and staff, and I am impressed by their dedication and commitment. With the small class sizes and personalized attention Central Penn provides, students can develop the critical personal and professional relationships that will move them closer to their goals.

I strongly believe in the significance of fostering relationships and community partnerships on behalf of Central Penn College students and graduates. Community members and prospective students are always welcome to visit our Summerdale campus. And most importantly, when you are on campus, please stop by my office on the third floor of the ATEC. I would love to meet you and discuss how Central Penn can serve you. I can also be reached at (717) 728-2440 or karenscolforo@centralpenn.edu, and you can feel free to follow me on Twitter and like our Facebook page to keep up with campus events.

At Central Penn College, student courses can be rigorous, and at times students may be pushed further than they thought possible, but I ask them to remember that they will succeed, because they can. When students pair their ability and drive with Central Penn’s support and career-focused program offerings, they have a winning combination. It is my honor to be one of our students’ biggest cheerleaders throughout their educational paths, from enrollment to graduation and beyond.

Go Knights!

Dr. Scolforo Signature

Expressing concern over deflation (i.e. the inflation rate turning negative) is the way in which people tell you that they have no clue about economics and just repeat what they heard others say. The inflation indexes we use are an aggregation of millions of different price changes. There is a substantial amount of dispersion around the overall inflation number. This means that when the inflation rate is near zero, there are many goods and services whose prices are already falling.

This means that the WSJ discussion of the risks of deflation in the euro zone is rather silly. It tells readers:

"Mr. Draghi said Saturday that he sees no evidence of a broad-based decline in consumer prices, known as deflation, and that there is no sign people are delaying spending in hopes that prices will fall."

With the euro zone inflation rate at 0.5 percent there are undoubtedly large numbers of goods and services for which prices are declining now. (People may not recognize these price declines since the inflation data use quality adjusted prices. This means that if the price of a computer increases by 5 percent, but its measured rate of quality improvement is 10 percent, then the government statistics will show a 5 percent decline in prices.) If the rate of inflation were to turn negative and become deflation, it simply means that the percentage of items with falling prices has increased.

While a lower inflation rate is worse than a higher inflation rate in the context of a badly depressed economy (it raises real interest rates and makes wage and price adjustments more difficult), there is no consequence to crossing zero. People who understand economics know that deflation doesn't matter. People who whine about deflation are trying to tell you they don't understand economics.

Confusion on 2-layer method

Default Confusion on 2-layer method
Posts: n/a
Hello! I hope someone can shed a light on this.

I had forgotten to activate the 2-layer for entire surface of a wall and instead only for a small portion of a wall. But, when I plot the 2-layer result, I found that the entire wall was activated with 2-layer with a non-constant near-wall thickness. This may or may not be desirable.

It seems like Star automatically assigned a 2-layer to the rest of the wall according to some computation which is not clear to me as I had forgotten to input and activate the 2-layer at portions where it should be activated.

I am using version 3.15. Thank u in advance.

Posts: n/a
Two layer can be activated on a wall region by region basis so it sounds like your whole wall was one reqion.

(this allows huge savings on cell numbers if you only require the two layer technique locally)

Thus simple add some wall boundaries of a different region number to your two layer location and only activate two-layer for this boundary region.

Default Re: Confusion on 2-layer method

First of all thank you Ping for your reply.

You almost addressed the full issue (70%). If I can elaborate more on the problem, maybe you or somebody can shed the rest 30% that I was hoping for.

Imagine ONE plate having some parallel flow over its length. Now I have refined the cells near this plate wall according to the 2-layer technique. Next I accidentally assign a small portion (the leading edge) of the wall region with active 2-layer and use the 2-layer model. The rest of the wall was not assigned as active 2-layer by mistake.

Next, I ran the model and obtained a 2-layer status plot. What I saw: at the region where the 2-layer was active, the 2-layer plot was having about the right distance as assigned in the 2-layer tab. The rest of the wall did not have a consistent distance from the 2-layer plot: It grew as would a boundary layer grow! I think this was great! Or maybe not necessary! (I was expecting some error because for a very refined cells along the entire length of the wall and for non-activated 2-layer there, the k-E would have been active and hence, produce some erroneous results due to the constraint in wall function but, the 2-layer plot was really intriguing).

When I assigned the entire plate with active 2-layer, The 2-layer plot after a run showed that a near-constant distance from the wall. In other words, it did not cover the growing part of the boundary layer near the trailing edge. This growing part is a lot farther from the wall for the first case above. For both cases, the mesh used was the same.

So, to rephrase, for 2-layer method, does Star automatically detect boundary layer growth and automatically equate the inner region of the 2-layer to the same exact growth of the BL? Such that when the 2-layer status is plotted, the inner region represents the BL? (In the case of forgotten to activate the 2-layer for the boundary region that is).

Tell me if this does not help u understand the problem still. I could be misterpreting something or worst case, this may just be a bug in 3.15...!

And I have a model, I give force 6 Tonnage in surface color red.

So do you think, where I should give the command "fixed support & frictional support" in which the parts on this model ?

Bottom view & Side view

Backing for council overhaul?

News, 24-hours-a-day, at

News, 24-hours-a-day, at

Have your say

Around 60 per cent of people who responded to a council survey said they agreed with Nottinghamshire County Council’s overhaul of services, the authority said.

The council is looking at ambitious plans to overhaul the way services are delivered as it grapples with a further £77 million budget shortfall caused by substantial cuts in Government funding, despite already saving £100 million and shedding 3,000 jobs since 2010.

A total of 501 people completed the ‘redefining your council’ survey, which aimed to consult residents about proposed cuts in services.

Of those who voted, 58 per cent agreed strongly with the authority’s overall approach, while 62 per cent said they felt the council should force closer working links with private sector companies.

Around 25 per cent of those who completed the survey expressed concerns over the cuts, the council said.

Council leader Coun Alan Rhodes said: “Despite facing a near impossible situation of rising demand for services and huge Government funding cuts, we are taking a constructive approach to look hard at what we do and the way we do things to identify any opportunities to save money and change how we do things.

“Although we’ve already managed to make substantial savings totalling £100 million, we have to recognise that as there is less and less money available and more and more demand for our services, the decisions we face will get harder and harder.”

The results of the consultation will be considered by councillors at a meeting on Wednesday 2nd July.

with Ann Elliott, University of Colorado Head Women's Lacrosse Coach;
former Northwestern University Associate Head Women's Lacrosse Coach

As an assistant coach at Northwestern University, Ann Elliott built a top-ranked defense that helped lead her team to three national titles. In this presentation, Coach Elliot shows you how to train your defense to take away space and to force attackers to go where you want them to go!

Starting with 1v1 play and working up to 7v7, Coach Elliott shares a series of progressive drills for building a successful team defense.

The presentation is divided into five sections:

  • 1v1 Drill: Forces the defender in right direction and teaches them to step up to take away the gap, minimizing the slide
  • 2v2 Drill: Forces the defender to recognize the slide and the recover for another slide
  • 3v3 Drill: Sliding and recovering. First slide works on being aggressive and the second slide (backside) works on seeing the middle
  • 3v3 to 4v3 Drill: Creates game-like chaos to work on communication and mental focus and force the defenders to react in a man-down situation
  • 7v7 Drill: Demonstrates how off-ball defenders need to be plugged-in so they can help the defense be successful and anticipate how to stop the offense from getting to the scoring area

Coach Elliott breaks down the drills on the whiteboard, showing the details you need to set-up and run the drill effectively. The action moves to the field where she runs her players through the drills, making corrections and giving coaching tips throughout the live practice.

These competitive practice drills not only build defensive principles, they also help attackers with passing and dodging skills. Take your defense to the championship level with the drills and coaching tips included in this dynamic presentation!
