| Tech Know: How low can you go?
As its name implies, overclocking is all about running a chip faster than its basic or stock speed. Overclocking involves putting a bigger voltage across a chip and means it generates lots more heat. "A product is designed with a certain thermal restraint and to use a certain amount of voltage," said Mr Watkinson. "Stock voltages are 1.1 volts." "We're putting 1.6 and 1.7 volts through them so we have to bring the cooling down very low to compensate." Which is why this is such a cool hobby. Good cooling will mean a chip can run faster without overheating and crashing. Chill cabinet .
Athletic Bobcats want to become a running team
"I think the personnel changes that they made and the players that they added, it's going make us a naturally running team," Chandler said Wednesday. "Coach isn't going to have to scream about running all the time." For now Brown is pushing his players to quickly move the ball up the floor after missed shots. .
Denman carries on tradition
Denman won the $1 million Golden Rose over the same distance, 1400 metres, of yesterday's race and will step up to 1600 metres for the first time in the Caulfield Guineas in two weeks. He has been the overwhelming favourite since his Golden Rose win and his record stands at six wins from seven starts. Although Snowden is loath to compare Denman with Lonhro, the physical similarities are obvious. ''He's not there yet but he is a very talented horse,'' he said. ''We'll probably get him to Melbourne next week to prepare for the [Guineas].'' Three of Denman's wins have been in Victoria. ■Mr Clangtastic proved he was more than a wet tracker when he scored a commanding all-the-way win in the group 3 Colin Stephen Quality. The Randwick surface was rated a good three and trainer Marc Conners admitted he was apprehensive about running Mr Clangtastic, whose victory in the 2400-metre race was his fifth in succession - but his first in 13 runs on firm tracks.
Mitt Romney's Marathon Run
Mitt Romney has the look of a man who's running for president. And if you're running for president, three years before your party's nominating convention, it's absolutely essential to say that it's way too early to think about running for president. So the former Massachusetts governor demurs when asked his intentions. "It's way too early to make that consideration," Romney says. "Who knows what the future holds?" Romney is sitting in a suite in Washington's Omni Shoreham Hotel, where the next day he will address the annual Values Voter Summit, a gathering of conservative activists sponsored by the Family Research Council. In the suite, across from a credenza stacked with catered sandwiches, Romney's staff has set up a teleprompter -- monitors, those glass panels on high stands, the whole thing -- for him to practice the speech.
The week ahead at EssentialWriters.com
One of the most glorious things about running a website as opposed to a print publication is the power of immediacy, so as always there are also a few other slots to be filled as the week goes on. This luxury hit home yesterday when the BBC alerted us to a new incentive named My Story, which is designed to get the nation writing up true tales to inspire, amuse and educate. The best storytellers will be invited to take part in a TV series next summer, and I can't wait to see what comes up. It seems like too good an opportunity to miss! Feel free to get in touch with any feature ideas, reviews or news you'd like to share with our other members, or if you would simply like to be considered for the EssentialWords interview slot - it's a great way to raise your profile among a broad array of communications professional.
Personal reasons for running for Star Appeal
FOR some people, taking part in the Tidworth 10k or 3k race for Salisbury District Hospital's Stars Appeal isn't just about running and completing it in a certain time. Many people who take part have personal reasons for supporting the appeal and saying a big thank you to staff at the hospital. Sara Bossom, from Pitton, took up running when she was 49 after being diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2006 and going through a lumpectomy, mastectomy, reconstruction and six weeks of radiotherapy. “Staff at the hospital provided such excellent care during this difficult time and continue to do so," she said. “This run is a way for me to thank them for what they have done for me. In particular, I would like to thank Shirley, the breast care nurse specialist and staff in the Radiology Department who are always so kind when I have scans and mammograms." Donna Martin, from Sixpenny Handley, will be thinking of her 10-year-old twin boys Jordan and Jaya, as both had surgery at the hospital, and Sophie Kowalewski is running for her nan Marjorie, who spent six weeks on the Winterslow ward with a fractured hip.
Someone had a worse day than Cal
Best wasn't even the best running back on the field, forget the country, and Riley looked lost. The Bears under Tedford have never figured out how to cover good tight ends. ... I could go on and on, but the worst thing about the loss was that Cal quit. Yeah, the No. 6 ranking was way too high, and, yeah, Autzen Stadium is a tough place to play, but 42-3? I am not even sure a win over USC this week could get rid of that stench. ... OK, it probably would. .
