going back to what im really looking for....is there a bios version for my board that can unlock those cores?
I think what you are being told is that the BIOS already supports unlocking the 2 disabled cores. If it's not working for you, it's probably a defective processor. Since those disabled 2 cores won't be "under warranty" you may not be able to RMA it. You did get what you paid for, right?
You should read your manual to see how to enable the cores. I believe ASRock calls it UCC.
The King's Town Southampton's Old Town Walls are as magnificent of those of York and Chester. This walk follows the line of the walls visiting towers,gates,vaults and the castle of the King of England. This is a story of both England and France, a time of war when Southampton was on the front line and the time when Southampton was starting to look back over its own history to its foundation by the legendary Sir Bevis. It can be walked in 80 minutes but we think you will want to linger longer.
Gov. Bill Haslam signed into law a controversial bill that says no licensed counselor or therapist must serve a client whose 'Äògoals, outcomes or behaviors'Äù conflict with the counselor'Äôs 'Äúsincerely held principles'Äù 'Äî a measure denounced by the American Counseling Association as a 'Äúhate bill'Äù against gay and transgender people.
The idea of giving universities in the Board of Regents system autonomy began in Memphis, Gov. Bill Haslam told a University of Memphis crowd Thursday at the ceremonial signing of the Focus on College and University Success Act.
"People here are passionate about this being a great university," he said, adding that with more flexibility, he has no doubt the university "could be one of the South's great universities. Our purpose in doing this is to let that happen. The message is: Go for it."
Its new 10-member board will take over July 1, 2017. Haslam will appoint eight of the nine voting members. A process agreed on by the university senate and president will be used to name the ninth. The tenth member will be a nonvoting student position.
Although some members of the Board of Visitors have said they have already been asked to serve, Haslam was firm that no appointments would be made until January.
Legislators approved FOCUS this spring, freeing the U of M and five other schools from Board of Regents oversight. The others are Middle Tennessee State, Tennessee State, East Tennessee State, Tennessee Technological University and Austin Peay State.
University President Dr. David Rudd says Memphis can expect more partnerships like the union the university and Memphis Symphony Orchestra announced this spring. In May, it announced it was pairing with the Memphis Shelby Crime Commission to form the Public Safety Institute on campus. Rudd also said independence means the university will be able to focus on research, plus more easily add courses and majors that enhance its strategic plan.
"In the TBR system, you never saw initiatives to advance the research side of the University of Memphis," Rudd said, noting that its research capacity is unique in the TBR system.
"That will be one of the first strategies we take," he said.
He also said the U of M will seek to reach more students nationally and internationally by offering tuition deals. The model would be similar to the reciprocity agreement the university began offering several years ago, extending its reach deeper into Mississippi and Arkansas.
"(Out of state) Enrollment in the law school this year quadrupled compared to three years ago," Rudd said, noting that a significant percentage of the growth was out-of-state students.
"It's entirely because we altered the tuition to facilitate out-of-state growth."
The plan to give more autonomy to the six TBR universities was criticized in early January by the system's former chancellor, John Morgan. He retired a few weeks later, saying it was unworkable and the watered-down accountability would "seriously impair" the colleges' abilities to work toward state goals.
Haslam expects accountability will increase.
"I guarantee Dr. Rudd, and he's up for it, will have a board waking up every day saying, 'David, here's where we are trying to get as a university, where are we on that status?' If I'm a university president, I don't think all of a sudden I have less accountability. I have more of a direct accountability, which is a good thing."
The board will be responsible for hiring and firing university presidents. And while it will have more latitude in adding programs, new majors and concentrations will still have to be approved by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission.
Memphis, through at least three governors, has pushed for local control of the campus, saying the issues of a large-city campus required a different, more nimble governing structure.
The change was actually born in Haslam's Drive to 55, the state effort to increase the number of residents who have college diplomas or certificates from 32 percent to 55 percent by 2025. One of the prescriptions is TN Promise, which gives any high school senior who completes the requirements access to two years of college tuition-free through the state's 13 community colleges or 27 colleges of applied technology. In the just-completed school year, enrollment in both was up nearly 25 percent. In December, Haslam told the TBR board he wanted it to focus on those opportunities.
By peeling off the universities, his administration says, both systems can be more nimble.
"What you really saw was a wingspan that ran all they way from welding colleges to law schools and medical schools," said Mike Krause, executive director of Drive to 55. "The reality is higher education is a complicated endeavor. What a community college needs is not necessarily what a university needs, and vice versa. In the end, these are different institutions that serve different students."

Volkswagen intends to cut 30,000 jobs by 2020 as part of a huge savings plan aimed at helping the German auto giant recover from the dieselgate emissions cheating scandal.
The plan, which has been agreed with labour representatives after months of tortuous negotiations, will lead to annual savings of €3.7 billion, according to the Handelsblatt business daily.
Two-thirds of the job losses will be at VW plants in Germany, the others in North America and Brazil, the report said, citing sources close to the talks.
Around 23,000 of these jobs will go in Germany by 2025, broadcaster N-tv confirmed on Friday, but the company is aiming to keep all its current factories and offices open.
There will be no forced lay-offs, with most of the job cuts stemming from employees who are retiring, it added.
Europe's largest carmaker is to announce the details of the so-called "Future Pact" in a press conference at 9.30am.
The plan also safeguards investment in electric cars, in line with the VW group's shift to environment-friendly vehicles in the wake of dieselgate.
The group was plunged into crisis last year after it admitted to installing software in some 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide that could detect when they were undergoing regulatory tests and lowered emissions accordingly to make the cars seem less polluting than they were.
The company has set aside some €18 billion to cover the fallout of the scandal, but experts believe the final bill for the buy-backs, fixes and legal costs will be far higher.
The crisis pushed the firm to its first loss in over two decades last year.
Virtually sounding the poll bugle, Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah on Saturday said his party will contest the upcoming Telangana assembly election on its own.
Formally launch the party's poll campaign at a public meeting in Mahabubnagar, about 110 km from Hyderabad, Shah said the BJP would not go for a tie-up with the Telangana Rashtra Samithi, the ruling party in the southern state.
The BJP would not have any alliance with any party and it hoped to emerge as a "deciding factor" in the upcoming polls, he said.
"We are not going to have any political tie-up with the TRS. The BJP will fight on its own strength. We will fight against appeasement politics also," Shah told reporters in Hyderabad, before leaving for Mahabubnagar.
The saffron party would also fight against the "stalled progress" of the state, he said, when asked about allegations of a tacit understanding between the BJP and the TRS.
On the proposed Grand Alliance of the Congress and other parties in the state, Shah said the Telugu people had not forgotten how the Congress had treated their leaders like former (undivided) Andhra Pradesh chief minister Anjaiah and former prime minister P V Narasimha Rao.
Hitting out at the TRS, he claimed that the K Chandrasekhar Rao-led party was earlier in favour of simultaneous elections to the state Assembly and Lok Sabha, but subsequently changed its stand.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi had proposed 'one nation, one election'. (Caretaker CM) Chandrasekhar Rao had also supported it initially.... I want to ask a straight question to the ruling party (TRS) and the chief minister. Why are you burdening the people with so much of expenditure (due to polls)? What is the reason for advancing the election by nine months?," Shah asked.
He wanted to know why the state assembly was prematurely dissolved, just a few days after the chief minister had expressed his willingness for simultaneous polls.
Quoting from reports, the BJP chief said 4,200 farmers committed suicide in the state in the last four years and claimed that some of the schemes of the central government were not implemented in Telangana properly.
He said many poll promises such as the "double-bedroom housing scheme" were not fulfilled.
Shah said the Centre had allotted funds to the extent of Rs 2.30 lakh crore to Telangana under the 14th Finance Commission as against "a mere Rs 15,000 crore during the 13th Finance Commission".
He claimed that the state government was not celebrating September 17 (the day the erstwhile Nizam state had merged with the Indian Union in 1948) officially due to "pressure from the AIMIM (All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen) and as part of vote-bank politics".
"Are we going to handover Telangana to the new-age Razakars (private militia that had resisted the integration of the Hyderabad state into the Dominion of India)? The Telangana people should decide," the BJP chief said.
He added that despite being aware that there would be no quota based on religion, the TRS government had passed a bill in this regard and sent it to the Centre for consent.
Shah said the new districts that were carved out by the TRS government lacked infrastructure.
He slammed the Congress, alleging that it did not allow the OBC Commission Bill to be passed.
Meanwhile, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said the BJP was suffering from "selective amnesia".
"You (BJP) will not succeed either in Hyderabad or in Telangana. I would like to say that if you have any strategy, Mr Shah, then come to Hyderabad and contest the parliamentary polls from here...," he said, replying to a query.
Owaisi claimed that the BJP would not be able to save their five Assembly seats in Hyderabad as also the Secunderabad Lok Sabha seat.
He took a dig at the saffron party, saying it was suffering from "selective amnesia", and claimed that it had forgotten that Modi had also advanced the polls when he was the Gujarat chief minister.
Lauding Rao for advancing the polls by nine months, Owaisi said, "It is a bold decision. You (BJP) are scared. You fight it out if you are concerned."
He said there was no incident of communal violence in Telangana in the last four-and-a-half years.
"There is an atmosphere of peace and growth...we have been saying that the next chief minister will be K Chandrasekhar Rao. Is there any (CM) face in the BJP?," the AIMIM chief asked.
The party-wise strength in the 120-member Telangana Legislative Assembly before its dissolution was -- TRS 82, Congress 17, AIMIM 7, BJP 5, TDP 3, Vacant 2, the CPI, CPI(M), Independent and nominated member (one each).
Rao had released a list of 105 candidates for the state's 119 seats immediately after the dissolution of the Assembly.
Do the Gandhis have the maturity to forge alliances?
Andrew McCabe, the fired FBI deputy director, misled investigators multiple times about his role in a news media disclosure about Hillary Clinton just days before the 2016 presidential election, according to a Justice Department watchdog report.
The report alleges that Mr McCabe authorised FBI officials to speak with a Wall Street Journal reporter for a story about an investigation into the Clinton Foundation and then misled FBI and Justice Department officials when later questioned about it.
Mr McCabe denied the report's allegations in a detailed rebuttal statement. Mr McCabe says that when he believed his answers to the inspector general were misunderstood, he went back and tried to correct them.
His lawyer says the inspector general unfairly tried to conclude its work before Mr McCabe could retire with a full pension.
The report gave additional fodder for President Donald Trump's public attacks on Mr McCabe.
On Friday night, the president tweeted: "DOJ just issued the McCabe report - which is a total disaster. He LIED! LIED! LIED! McCabe was totally controlled by Comey - McCabe is Comey!! No collusion, all made up by this den of thieves and lowlifes!"
The president has made a concerted and Twitter-driven effort to impugn Mr McCabe as a partisan hack, accusing him of covering up unspecified "lies and corruption" at the FBI and calling his firing a "great day for Democracy."
Mr McCabe has fired back, saying his dismissal was part of the Trump administration's "ongoing war" on the FBI and special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
The report was sent to congressional committees and obtained by The Associated Press.
The inspector general's finding led FBI disciplinary officials to recommend that the Justice Department fire Mr McCabe.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions dismissed him last month two days before his scheduled retirement for what he described as a lack of candor.
Mr McCabe also has said he believes he was singled out because of the "role I played, the actions I took, and the events I witnessed in the aftermath" of Mr Comey's firing.
To support this, Mr McCabe has noted that the inspector general's investigation into him was accelerated after he told congressional investigators that he could corroborate Mr Comey's accounts of his conversations with Trump.
Mr McCabe, who is close to Comey, could be an important witness for Mueller, who is investigating Trump for possible obstruction of justice, including his motivation for firing Mr Comey in May 2017.
The Associated Press has also confirmed that Mr McCabe kept personal memos detailing interactions with the president and they have been provided to the special counsel's office.
Most of us can still remember the day we got our first library card -- the effort we put into signing our name on the back (if we even knew cursive at the time), the realization of the opportunities we had with this flimsy little card, the excitement of finding the perfect book on the shelves.
But for many, the thrill wore off long ago. In this age of e-books and Google, some view libraries as unnecessary or even obsolete.
The New York City Public Library system wants to erase that perception. To encourage more people to use the libraries and make the collections more accessible, it has been updating its facilities in many ways.
"We want to make sure that the library continues to be useful and relevant resource for everyone. Part of that is adapting to changes and the way people use libraries," said Herb Scher, director of public relations. "This plan is creating a structure that we think will remain essential to all those who use it in their home, around the world online, and in the central library on 42nd street."
The plan focuses on expanding the library's online offerings and on the construction of six new hub libraries in the Bronx, Manhattan and Staten Island. It calls for the creation of programs to entice New Yorkers who might otherwise never pass through the library's doors and other efforts to attract far-away international visitors to the library's online resources.
Just as people shop and watch current movies without leaving their homes, they can visit the library as well. Currently, the library has two separate catalogues available to search online: One, called "LEO," is for circulating materials only; the other, CATNYP, is for non-circulating materials only. Soon, however, they will be integrated into one large database that will include the library's entire collection.
"It's not like there are two sets of people using them; the people using them are New Yorkers. So we're bringing it all together, which will make for a more efficient and more coherent process," said Joshua Greenberg, director of digital strategy and scholarship for the New York Public Library. He also mentioned plans to expand the Spanish-language version of the site, as well as potentially offering new languages.
The library recently launched its own page on iTunes U, a sector of iTunes that hosts educational media. All material available for download from the library is, of course, free.
The system also hopes to exploit the Internet's capacity for interactivity by creating online communities led by librarians and curators. Users will be able to ask people in these communities questions regarding the library and share information.
"We're trying to take a strategic approach," Greenberg said, noting that if, there are communities formed around topics where libraries have strength, such as literature, shouldn't that extend to the libraries themselves. As an example of how that might work, Greenberg cites a teacher who has downloaded an image from the library's Website. "With an online community, she can talk with other teachers that have used that image and see how well it worked. That's the sort of thing the library has a real role in supporting," Greenberg said.
But the library has not completely forsaken buildings in favor of cyberspace. Its plans call for the renovation of existing library buildings and the construction of new ones. The system will expand the 42nd Street reference library (that's the one on Fifth Avenue with the lions) to add a new lending library. Books and other materials for the lending library's collection will come from the Mid-Manhattan library, which will be eventually shut down. In addition, the famed 42nd Street building will improve its exhibition spaces, offer hundreds of computers and have full wireless Internet access. There will be meeting rooms, program venues and even a café.
For those who do not want to come to midtown Manhattan but need more than their local lending library, the system will create new so-called "hub" libraries. They will be open for longer hours than the local branches and offer the public a far greater array of resources, including computers, literacy classes and spaces designed for children and young adults. In addition, they will serve as a venue for more events and programs.
The new hub libraries will be modeled after services provided in a pilot program at the Bronx Library Center on East Kingsbridge Road. Eventually there will be three hubs in the Bronx, two in Manhattan,and one in Staten Island. "The hub libraries are organizationally connected to a number of smaller libraries. The idea is that each hub will be no more than thirty minutes by public transportation from the other libraries it's connected to," said Scher.
Beyond being places to read -- whether from the printed page or online - libraries serve as a kind of community center. In this capacity, they offer plethora of programs, which are as diverse as the city's populations. Among the most popular are the free English classes, presented in cycles starting three times a year and with courses at beginner and intermediate levels. Other programs and events include story time for children, guided tutorials on using the Internet and lessons on the art of crocheting, to name just a few. Lectures sweep across a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from ancient Roman architecture to the principles of business.
In an bid to attract kids and teens who might not otherwise deem a library worthy of their time the library features ("Game on @ the Library," where teens can play Nintendo Wii with their friends to test their, as the nypl website calls it, "skillz." The program received a favorable reception when it was launched in late March and has become a recurring event.
But the library have not lost its literary focus. Every summer, it holds a summer reading initiative. encouraging New Yorkers of all ages to settle down with a few books over summer vacation. The Website offers book lists for four different age groups (birth to five, kids, teens, adults) in both English and Spanish.
Some of these programs might face cuts or elimination if City Council approves Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposed reductions in library spending for the 2009 fiscal year. In his executive budget, released earlier this spring, the mayor suggested budget cuts that, according to City Councilmember Vincent Gentile, who chairs the subcommittee on libraries, would result in loss of 60 percent of the funding designed to keep all libraries open six days a week.
The 2009 Executive Budget for Libraries proposes $303.1 million for all three (Brooklyn Library, New York Public Library, and Queens Library) libraries. Adjusting for the fact that the city prepaid some of the expenses for the libraries, there still will be $11.7 million less than the 2008 forecast of $314.8 million. Although City Council may be able to restore the money that the mayor has cut, library funding remains precarious.
Gentile said libraries should remain open to serve their neighborhood. "It's a high priority," he said. "I don't see any reduction in the degree of importance for having six-day service, from library staff or other council members. Circulation is up in every system. They've been able to add programs, and it really is a great anchor for the community."
Ever taken a ride with the devil? How about taking the devil's ride?
I borrowed Beelzebub's own chariot recently, the Mercedes' S65 AMG coupe. This is perhaps the most depraved car on the road today. I absolutely frickin' loved it.
I'm only sorta kidding. If Lucifer truly runs about on this mortal earth, he's doing it in the S65 Coupe. AMG may be housed in Affalterbach, Germany, but I'm fairly sure it was conceived in halls of brimstone by a sulfur-breathing engineering team. The goal? The spiritual corruption of its owners. Call it Hell's Honey Trap.
AMG models are now branded Mercedes-AMG rather than Mercedes-Benz AMG, a subtle promotion that illustrates the division's importance to the brand's overall reputation and bottom line. If the GT S sports coupe shows the direction of the division's future—creating a sports car from the ground up (and the GT is a fabulous car indeed)—then the S-Class AMG Coupes are the most primal examples of the old-school AMG. Take a pre-existing model, re-engineer and re-energize it, and then blast it full of crazy juice, courtesy of a handbuilt powerplant.
