MADRID (AP) ? A train derailed in northwestern Spain on Wednesday night, toppling passenger cars on their sides and leaving at least one torn open as smoke rose into the air. Dozens were feared dead, with possibly even more injured.

Authorities did not immediately release casualty figures.

But a photographer at the scene said he saw dozens of what appeared to be dead bodies being extracted from the wreck by emergency workers. Spanish National TV showed footage of what appeared to be several bodies covered by blankets alongside the tracks next to the damaged train wagons.

The photographer, Xabier Martinez, told The Associated Press that he also spoke to two injured train passengers who said they felt a strong vibration before the derailing.

The accident occurred on high-speed tracks near the train station in Santiago de Compostola, 95 kilometers (60 miles) south of El Ferrol. Rescue workers were seen in the television images caring for people still inside some of the wagons.

The train, which belongs to the state-owned Renfe company, was headed to El Ferrol from Madrid.

Officials at the Interior Ministry and the Adif rail infrastructure authority did not immediately answer telephone calls or return messages seeking comment. Officials with Renfe also did not immediately return messages seeking comment.

This is Your Life: Facebook and the business of identity

"The story of your life."

With that phrase, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced the company's new Timeline profile in the fall of 2011. The social network's original profile page, he explained, was the first place where most people "felt safe expressing their real self" on the internet, but it was only the "first five minutes of your conversation." A major redesign in 2008 extended that to "the next 15 minutes." Timeline, though, was the "next few hours." Your true self, in full.

To illustrate the point, Zuckerberg went on to show a promotional video that put This Is Your Life to shame by recapping one man's life from his own birth to the birth of his child (and then some) in just over a minute. Facebook has always wanted to be your online identity -- your internet, in many ways -- but it was now also bringing something else to the fore that once had a tendency to fade into the background; your memories.

Golf: Woods tries out injured elbow at Muirfield

GULLANE: Tiger Woods has made a cautious return to Muirfield, 11 years after he saw his dream of achieving the Grand Slam of golf blown away by a North Sea storm.

The world number one played nine holes over the British Open course on Sunday despite still taking painkillers and receiving treatment for the injury to his left elbow that he exacerbated while playing in last month's US Open.

Heeding medical advice, Woods put his clubs aside immediately after Merion, and his first competitive round since then will come when he tees off in Thursday's first round.

Playing with Dustin Johnson and Jason Day, Woods limited himself to nine holes over the sun-baked East Lothian links, saying: "I better not push it.

"The ground's going to be hard over here. I just wanted to make sure that everything was healed before I came over."

Woods has every reason to be cautious of Muirfield, which will be hosting The Open for the 16th time.

The last time it was held there in 2002, he went out in his third round just as a storm system came out of the North Sea, whipping up havoc on the course and condemning the American to a 10-over 81, to date the worst score of his professional career.

That left him with no chance of making it three majors in a row, having already won the Masters and the US Open that year, and Woods has failed to get that far along the road to the Grand Slam since then.

Still, Woods says he harbours no ill-feeling towards the course many regard as being the finest links layout in world golf.

"This marks my second trip to Muirfield. My first visit in 2002 didn't go very well," he wrote on his website.

"I caught the worst of the weather and wound up tying for 28th. That's just the nature of links golf. Luck plays a big part in it, and you never know what you're going to get.

"Muirfield is one of the hardest courses in Scotland. The front nine is basically played clockwise and the back nine is played counter-clockwise and on the inside of the front nine.

"You have to shape the golf ball both ways, and you never know what's going to come off that water as far as wind. It can change directions.

"If the wind switches, you can be aggressive on certain holes and others you have to be conservative.

"That's the neat thing about a British Open: you just never know what type of conditions you're going to get each day."

Despite the elbow pain and the lack of play, Woods has been installed as the bookies favourite, with the conditions similar to those at Hoylake in 2006 when he won the third of his British Open titles.

On that occasion, the sun-baked fairways meant that he was able to use his driver just once in 72 holes and still win comfortably.

Woods has won four times this year already and regained the world number one spot from Rory McIlroy, but he has failed to win a 15th major title, the last coming at the 2008 US Open.

Since then, his quest to overhaul Jack Nicklaus' record mark of 18 majors has stalled as he was engulfed in a sex scandal that wrecked his marriage and sullied his reputation and then hit by a succession of injuries.

5 NFL Teams Already Planning for Next Offseason

BY DAN HOPE (FEATURED COLUMNIST) ON JULY 14, 2013

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...next-offseason

1-Arizona Cardinals

2-Buffalo Bills

With a new head coach in Doug Marrone, new quarterbacks on the roster and a talented crop of players on both sides of the ball, Buffalo Bills fans have reason to be excited about their team?s prospects for the future. That said, the transition to being a winning team is unlikely to be immediate in 2013.

While EJ Manuel was a first-round pick in this year?s draft, he is unlikely to follow in the footsteps of the three rookie quarterbacks who led their teams to the playoffs last season. Manuel has the physical tools to be a very good franchise quarterback, but his game is considerably more raw than that of Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III or even Russell Wilson coming out of college last season.

The addition of Manuel brings definite hope to the Bills for 2014 and beyond, but the quarterback situation continues to look concerning for 2013. Manuel is likely to have his share of rookie struggles should he start, while veteran free-agent addition Kevin Kolb may be a decent stopgap quarterback option but is unlikely to be a significant upgrade over Ryan Fitzpatrick.

The Bills have some significant areas of concern at other positions as well. Outside of wideout Stevie Johnson, the Bills have a lack of proven receiving threats on their offense. They are also weak at the left guard position and do not have a premier pass-rusher opposite Mario Williams.

The Bills appear to be headed in the right direction, but they aren?t ready yet to challenge the New England Patriots in the AFC East. But with a year for Manuel and much of the team?s other young talent to develop and mesh, the Bills have definite potential for playoff contention come 2014.

One area where the Bills are certainly already looking ahead to next offseason is the contract situation of free safety Jairus Byrd. Byrd is currently franchise-tagged by the Bills but remained unsigned as of Saturday night.

The deadline to sign franchise-tagged players to long-term deals is Monday, and a deal with Byrd is unlikely to happen, according to WGR?s Joe Buscaglia. Byrd could end up holding out for part or all of the 2013 season if he chooses not to sign his franchise tender, but the bigger concern for the Bills going forward is securing the status of one of their key defensive playmakers.

If the Bills end up having to replace Byrd next offseason, it will be one more area of still-necessary rebuilding in addition to addressing the team?s pass rush and left guard situations.

although I agree it will be a good chance in 2014 when this team starts to really contend this article seems pretty optimistic on their chances as well..

3-Jacksonville Jaguars

4-New York Jets

5-Oakland Raiders

Photos: California home for sale for ?77 million (but the owner comes with it)

IT COSTS $100 million (?77 million), comes with its own ballroom, and has knockout views of San Francisco ? but there?s also a catch.

This gigantic mansion in California is up for sale by its elderly owner who is doing some estate planning, and as part of the terms and conditions, he won?t be handing over the house until he dies. ?Christian de Guigne IV, whose grandfather started building the house 99 years ago, has exclusive use of the home until his death, according to The Wall Street Journal, which could be awkward for anyone hoping to move into their new pad any time soon.

The giant house has seven bedrooms, a servants? wing, two reservoirs, a flower-arranging room and ? of course! ? a pool.

Let?s have a look around.

Dreamliner fire not caused by battery fault, says U.K. agency

LONDON (AP) ? A fire on an empty Boeing 787 plane at London's Heathrow Airport didn't appear to be caused by faulty aircraft batteries, a British investigative agency said Saturday.

Investors in Boeing, which calls its newest plane a Dreamliner, had feared that Friday's blaze meant that a battery overheating problem that grounded the whole fleet of such planes in January had not been fixed. News of the fire on the Ethiopian Airlines plane sent Boeing shares down 4.7 percent on Friday.

But Britain's Air Accidents Investigation Branch said there was "no evidence of a direct causal relationship" between the Dreamliner's batteries and the fire.

"There has been extensive heat damage in the upper portion of the rear fuselage, a complex part of the aircraft ... it is clear that this heat damage is remote from the area in which the aircraft main and APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) batteries are located," the agency said in a statement.

Ethiopian Airlines said it is continuing to operate its fleet of 787s despite the investigation, which will take at least several more days to be completed.

The airline's chief executive, Tewolde Gebremariam, told The Associated Press on Saturday that there is "no flight safety issue" with the 787s and that Ethiopian Airlines, like other operators, hasn't made changes regarding the planes.

Friday's fire broke out more than eight hours after the plane landed at Heathrow Airport. The aircraft was parked on a remote parking stand with no one onboard when smoke was detected from it, Ethiopian Airlines said.

Although the incident caused no injuries, it forced Heathrow, one of the world's busiest airports, to close its runways for nearly an hour. Arrivals and departures were briefly suspended, delaying hundreds of passengers' journeys.

The fire also drew renewed attention to the future of Boeing's most technologically-advanced airliner. Boeing, based in Chicago, marketed the 787 as a revolutionary jet which burns 20 percent less fuel than comparable aircraft, thanks to its lightweight design.

In another first, the plane relies on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to start its auxiliary power unit, which provides power on the ground or if the main engines quit. But problems with those batteries led to the grounding earlier this year of the 50 Dreamliners flying at the time.

In January, the Dreamliner was grounded for months following two incidents relating to overheating lithium-ion batteries on separate planes. One 787 caught fire shortly after it landed at Boston's Logan International Airport on Jan. 7.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration eventually approved a plan by Boeing to better insulate the battery's eight cells and the addition of a new containment and venting system. Once the changes were made, the planes started to fly again.

Ethiopian Airlines was the first airline to resume using the 787, with a flight on April 27 from Ethiopia's capital of Addis Ababa to Nairobi, Kenya.

The airline is helping with the investigation of Friday's fire, together with Boeing, Britain's AAIB, the FAA and the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board.

Union Berlin 3 - 0 Celtic: Lennon?s men lose again

JUST five days before their first competitive match of the season in the all-important Champions League qualifier against Cliftonville in Belfast, Celtic have not recorded a victory in their pre-season programme.

Scorers: Terodde 12, Brandy 55, Kreilach 87

A 3-0 defeat by German second division side Union Berlin will not go down well with their supporters, but there were at least some encouraging signs that their heroes are becoming more match sharp by the game. Add in the fine displays by youngsters Jackson Irvine, Tom Rogic and Mikey Miller and manager Neil Lennon will not have been too disappointed with the night?s work.

Lennon?s men had not won a match on their pre-season Continental tour before last night. Sevastapol of the Ukraine, Romanian side Cluj and another German second division outfit, Greuther Furth, had all taken the scalp of the Scottish champions, the latter putting six goals past a very shaky Celtic defence.

Celtic never really looked like correcting that record last night in a match to mark the opening of the main stand and official completion of Union Berlin?s An der Alten Forsterei stadium. That?s a remarkable story in itself, since thousands of fans worked unpaid on the project, and a raucous capacity crowd of just over 18,000 created an atmosphere which in itself made the match much more competitive than most friendlies.

After a couple of early corners to the home side, and with Celtic making absolutely no headway up front, Union took an 11th-minute lead, the chief surprise being that Fraser Forster, easily the man of the tour hitherto, completely misinterpreted the flight of Simon Terodde?s superbly struck snapshot volley from the edge of the box. Kelvin Wilson could have put more pressure on the scorer, but take nothing away from the goalscorer as it was a class effort.

The goal sparked a reaction from Celtic in that they became more composed and organised, captain Scott Brown?s return ensuring that the midfield was at least combative. How they will miss Victor Wanyama in that department, the big fellow?s absence an obvious loss in this pre-season tour.

At the back, Irvine and Wilson formed a solid partnership, the 20-year-old Australian looking very composed on the ball, as did the other Aussie in the team, midfielder Tom Rogic.

After 24 minutes, Forster kept his eye firmly on another volley, this time a spectacular effort by Martin Dausch off a knockdown by Soren Brandy, and the goalkeeper parried the ball away firmly.

Celtic had not had a shot on goal in the first half hour when Kris Commons won a corner, taking it himself and finding Giorgios Samaras whose effort was turned away.

Towards the end of the half, Celtic began to exert considerable pressure on their well-organised and technically sound hosts, and after Fabian Schonheim headed just over his own bar, Mikael Lustig headed the resultant corner narrowly wide.

At half time, Celtic sent on youngster Mikey Miller in place of Mikael Lustig at right-back, and more substitutions unsettled the side later on, but Lennon had said he would use these games to get players fit and to experiment, and he has stuck to the plan.

Ten minutes into a Celtic-dominated second half, a sucker punch gave Union a second goal. The SPL champions looked to have cleared the danger but the ball was knocked back in over the heads of a static defence and Soren Brandy reacted first to knock the ball past Forster.

After Irvine was booked for a foul in which television replays showed he made no contact, Marc Pfertzel looked to have put Union further ahead but he was correctly adjudged to have been offside.

Celtic searched constantly for a way back into the game, and Anthony Stokes had a shot deflected wide on 64 minutes before Irvine?s goalbound header from the corner was punched away by Daniel Haas.

Stokes? 68th minute shot was saved by Haas before Rogic fired one just wide from distance. Union were content to soak up the pressure and hit on the break, and three minutes from time they gained a third with the Celtic defence again caught napping, Damir Kreilach heading home Dausch?s pinpoint cross.

It will perhaps worry Lennon that his side is conceding an average of three goals a game, but if he gets it right against Cliftonville, all will be forgiven and forgotten.

Vatican freezes assets of arrested monsignor

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- The Vatican has frozen the assets of a monsignor who was arrested in a plot to smuggle 20 million euro ($26 million) into Italy and warned Friday that other people may be caught up in the investigation.

The Vatican's chief prosecutor on July 9 froze the accounts at the Vatican bank of Monsignor Nunzio Scarano, who was arrested by Italian authorities June 28 on accusations of corruption and slander. Scarano allegedly plotted to bring 20 million euro into Italy from Switzerland in July of last year aboard a private jet to avoid declaring it at customs.

Prosecutors say the money was believed to have belonged to friends of Scarano, members of the d'Amico shipping family. Scarano has reportedly told prosecutors he stood to gain 2.5 million euro in commission for the operation.

A judge has refused to grant him house arrest; he remains at Rome's Queen of Heaven prison.

In a statement Friday, the Vatican said its own investigation into Scarano was triggered by several reports of suspicious transactions filed with the Vatican's financial watchdog agency. It said its probe "could be extended to additional individuals."

Italian prosecutors have said Scarano, a recently suspended accountant in the Vatican's main finance office, had two accounts at the Vatican bank: One was his personal account and another one, named "Fondo Anziani" was purportedly used to receive charitable donations. The amount frozen wasn't believed to be anything near the 20 million involved in the smuggling plot.

In addition to the money-smuggling case, Scarano is also under investigation by prosecutors in his hometown of Salerno for allegedly taking 560,000 euros ($729,000) in cash out of his Vatican account in 2009 and carrying it into Italy to help pay off a mortgage on his Salerno home. He used a complicated scheme to give dozens of friends 10,000 in cash in exchange for checks, made out to be donations, that he then deposited in an Italian bank account.

The money had come into Scarano's Vatican bank account from donors who gave it to the prelate thinking they were funding a home for the terminally ill in Salerno that was never built, Scarano's lawyer Silverio Sica has said. Prosecutor Nello Rossi has said the donors included the d'Amicos. The family has denied wrongdoing and says it is cooperating with authorities.

Pope Francis has zeroed in on the Vatican bank, the Institute for Works of Religion, as the first phase of his reform of the Vatican bureaucracy. This week he attended the inaugural session of a commission of inquiry he formed to look into the IOR's activities. The Vatican newspaper said Francis personally attended "to encourage the commission's work."

Foreclosures are Down and Seattle's Housing ... - RealEstate.com

Foreclosure Filings Down

Foreclosure filings, a key measure of the housing industry?s health, slipped to a 6.5-year low in June, another indication that the market is gaining strength and recovery is well underway.

A RealtyTrac report said 127,790 homes had foreclosure filings last month. That?s 14 percent down from the May numbers. Compared to the year-ago period, numbers are down 35 percent.

That?s the lowest since December 2006.

The good news doesn?t end there. Fewer homes entered the foreclosure process and lenders seized fewer homes, which means the future pipeline of foreclosures is also on the decline. Banks possessed 248,538 homes in the first half of the year. If the numbers follow the trend, by the year?s end foreclosures would be around 500,000. That?s below 671,000 foreclosure properties the previous year.

?We are getting tantalizingly close to being back to normal, healthy foreclosure levels, at least on a nationwide basis,? Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac, told Reuters.

Foreclosures have been the biggest curse on the once thriving housing market. A faltering economy and rising unemployment hit consumers hard, disabling them from making their monthly mortgage payments and increasing foreclosures. The influx of such properties increased the inventory in the marketplace, thereby dragging down home prices. As the number of foreclosed homes grew, builders, sellers and buyers became anxious. Things have been steadily on the mend as the economy began improving, and interest rates continued staying low. This week?s report from RealtyTrac provides a helpful boost to consumer and builder confidence. The last year has been a good year for the industry. Home prices are up and so are sales.

According to RealtyTrac, 34 states saw a decline in repossessions in June compared to a year ago. But, there are still some states ? such as Oklahoma, Maryland and Arkansas ? that saw significant gains. So, although we are on the right track, we still have a long road ahead.

Seattle?s Housing Market is Sizzling Hot

Seattle is one of the most competitive housing markets in the country thanks to low interest rates and depleting inventory, according to King5.com

?Seattle is just crazy bonkers. Most of our listings are going in 30 days,? Al Uyeno, a local real estate agent, told the news website.

Uyeno said that the declining unemployment rate and increasing hiring has helped increase the number of buyers in a tight market.

?We?ve got Amazon, we?ve got Boeing, we?ve got Microsoft all hiring, and all these people are coming here from out of state so they have to have some place to live,? ?Uyeno said.

Real estate agents say that good homes are selling fast, and at high prices. In some areas, the median price for homes is up as much as 14 percent.

Mortgage Rates Touch Two-Year High

Beware buyers. Mortgage rates are again inching upward. So, if you want to lock into some low, lucrative rates, you may want to get in the game now.

The average rate on the 30-year loans skyrocketed to 4.51 percent this week. Last week it was 4.29 percent, according the mortgage giant Freddie Mac, who tracks rate changes. Two months ago the rate was 3.35 percent, just a tad above the all-time low of 3.31 percent.

Rates on the shorter-term loans are also on the upswing. The average rate on 15-year loans jumped to 3.53 percent from 3.39 percent a week ago. That?s the biggest increase since August 2011.

Rates have been at historic lows for a while now and began inching upward because of expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut down its bond buying this year. The continued low rates have helped encourage buyers to jump into the market. Despite the increases this week, rates continue to be low. But not everyone can qualify for the lucrative rates. Lenders have installed a tight screening process. Only consumers with a clean credit record and sizeable down payment generally have access to the lucrative rates.

Even with the gains, mortgage rates remain low by historical standards. Low rates have helped fuel a housing recovery that is helping to drive economic growth this year.

Review: Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville offers plenty of fun ...

I?ve always said that I don?t really understand the Parrothead phenomenon that hits Cincinnati every time Jimmy Buffett comes to town and sells out Riverbend, as he is doing once again on Tuesday.

But when I consider it, there?s nothing that hard to understand. Let?s just say it?s a little more enthusiasm than I would show, but the combination of Buffet?s good-time music in an atmosphere that re-creates a beach vacation with margaritas, beer, beach balls, Hawaiian shirts and more margaritas is an undeniably fun package.

And packaged it is. Buffett-o-mania has launched not only countless tours, but restaurants, bars, gift shops, a liquor label and a clothing line. As a Parrothead capital, it?s only right that the package should come here. Now it has, with Margaritaville in the Horseshoe Casino, Downtown. It?s a place for reminiscing about past concerts or vacations, or taking a frivolous break from the serious business of gambling.

There?s no mistaking the theme. Nautical charts on the ceiling ? from which a seaplane is suspended ? palm trees, a bar shack with corrugated metal roof, and stilt walkers dressed in pirate outfits tying up balloon animals. Buffett videos play. The restaurant is one of a couple at the casino that can be entered directly from the street. If you park in the casino garage, you do have to walk all the way through the gambling floor. There are big windows and a nice outdoor dining area.

I ordered a margarita. Obviously. There are several on the menu. I went with the ?perfect,? ($9.50) and it was pretty good. The other tropical drinks are, as they should be, cold and fruity.

We had been ogling the nachos ($13.99) at other people?s tables as we walked in. They come piled high ? really high ? on the plate. We decided not to tackle them, but all evening we watched them come out of the kitchen over and over, and then watched them taken back in, shortened by just a few inches. Wretched excess has its place, as Parrotheads know, but it seemed tacky and wrong to me to serve all that food that no one could eat.

It took quite a while for the appetizers we did order to show up. We had the crab, shrimp and mushroom dip ($11.99) which was just OK, with a thick blanket of cheese. The peel and eat shrimp ($11.99), which came out of a spicy boil, were firm and tasty, and the best things we had all evening. After that first wait for a server, he was prompt and did a good job.

The jambalaya ($15.99) was packed with sausage, shrimp and chicken, in a thick spicy sauce on top of rice ? fairly spicy but not that interesting.

The catch of the day was catfish, which was unbelievably bland, even with a mango-pineapple salsa on the side. There was a hard-to-identify sauce in a small cup, which turned out to be a garlic sauce, I think, which didn?t help much either.

The teriyaki sirloin ($18.59) was not bad at all, tender and cooked just a little under the medium my friend ordered, and the teriyaki sauce wasn?t overwhelming. I would not have served it with mashed potatoes, though, and it wasn?t a good idea to serve mashed potatoes with an ice cream scoop. It makes them more reminiscent of a school cafeteria than a beach shack.

More excess for dessert: the chocolate hurricane ($6.99) is a huge hot fudge sundae. Like many such concoctions, it didn?t have enough chocolate sauce so ended up being a big dessert of vanilla ice cream and redundant whipped cream. We barely made a dent. The rest went back to the kitchen.

Wastin? away again in Margaritaville.

iPhone 5S set to get 120fps high-speed video mode

Posted on 10 Jul 2013 at 10:07, by Gareth Halfacree

A new feature buried in the code for Apple's latest iOS 7 beta has hinted at the possibility of a new feature for the upcoming iPhone 5S - the ability to record high-speed video.

According to 9to5Mac, the feature is hidden in iOS 7 and not usable on current-generation handsets. It provides the software layer for a camera system that can record at 120 frames per second - four times faster than the 30 frames per second used by current iPhone models.

The iPhone 5S is already rumoured to include numerous camera improvements, including a second LED flash for improved low-light photography and a high-resolution 13-megapixel sensor. The introduction of high frame rate video seems likely, especially as one of Apple's biggest competitors, the Samsung Galaxy S4, already includes a 120 frames per second high-speed video mode.

The iPhone 5S is expected to launch later this year, possibly alongside a less expensive iPhone Lite, which is expected to use a polycarbonate plastic casing. Rumoured specifications include a larger and higher-resolution display, faster A7 processor and a fingerprint sensor. Apple, for its part, has refused to confirm or deny any of the rumours surrounding its unannounced products.

MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING LGA 1150 Motherboard Review

MSI?s GAMING series is back with an all new entry. The Z87-GD65 GAMING is certainly a promising contender and is one of the more unique offerings we?ve seen from MSI. We liked the last GAMING board we looked at, and we have liked all previous GD-65 series motherboards, hopefully this followup entry can measure up.

Introduction

MSI is no stranger to the motherboard market. It?s offerings have been around since 1986. As a whole the brand is responsible for a lot of products ranging from motherboards to wireless networking hardware to graphics cards and even servers. Despite this diversification its motherboards remain the company?s most well known product offerings. Like its competition MSI offers many choices in a wide spectrum of price points to meet every need.

In an effort to target some audiences more effectively several motherboard manufacturers have spawned sub-brands which cater to specific markets. ASUS has its Republic of Gamers boards, Gigabyte its G1 series. MSI was a bit late to the party but eventually created its Gaming Series. These motherboards have slightly different designs than the standard retail offerings. Motherboards in the Gaming series have a visual style and feature sets which are geared toward gamers in particular. Though many enthusiasts may find gaming motherboards appealing as well given the powerful features usually associated with these.

While ASUS and Gigabyte offer a very broad spectrum of products under the respective Gaming lines MSI is still testing the waters. MSI originally only had the Z77A-G43, Z77A-G45 and Z77A-GD65 motherboards in its lineup. Currently all the products shown on MSI?s website follow this trend with only two new models being made available at this time which use the newer Z87 Express chipset. The Z87-G45 and Z87-GD65 are pretty much follow-up motherboards to last generation?s products.

At present I?m uncertain whether MSI has any plans for higher end offerings which would compete directly with ASUS? ROG lineup or not. If these existing models prove to be successful such an outcome seems like a definite possibility.

The MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING (Volumn Warning - There is a very loud video that plays on this page automatically.) is based on the Intel Z87 Express chipset. The motherboard features many design queues from the normal retail boards while including additional or rather different features from those products. The changes definitely target the gamer and performance enthusiast. DDR3 3000MHz speeds are supported through overclocking, USB 3.0, SATA 6Gb/s, PCI-Express generation 3.0 support, SLI, CrossFireX support and more.

The motherboard also supports many MSI specific design implementations and features. OC Genie 4, Military Class 4 components, super ferrite chokes, Hi-C Capacitors, Dark Caps, a gaming specific port, and Audio Boost. Much of this is marketing jargon so I?ll translate; the motherboard is well built using MIL-STD-810G spec components. The game port is a PS/2 mouse/keyboard port which has the polling rate set to 1,000Hz for the fastest possible peripheral response. The audio boost feature makes use of an integrated headphone amplifier rated for 600ohm output. OC Genie 4 is an automated overclocking solution which allows you to get more performance out of your system at the push of a single button.

Main Specifications Overview:

Detailed Specifications Overview:

Packaging

The MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING motherboard comes in a red and black colored package. The box is standard fare although it does look very cool. The board arrived damage free with the following accessories: Overclocking guide, SATA cables, I/O shield, M-connectors, voltage connectors, GAMING series case badge, SLI bridge, door hanger, user guide, application user guide, quick start guide, and driver disc.

Board Layout

The MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING motherboard has an almost perfect layout. About the only complaint I have with it is the location of the onboard power and reset buttons. These are located in what I believe to be one of the worst possible locations on the motherboard PCB. If you?ve got two graphics cards installed for SLI / CrossFireX then these are almost unreachable. Generally speaking these are only used by people doing benchmarks or testing in open test benches. Occasionally I?ve used onboard buttons from the inside of a case when doing troubleshooting but that?s a rare occurrence. So while I am complaining about the button location I?m still well aware of how minor an issue this is regardless of how much it bothers me personally.

The CPU socket area is about as clean as possible. The 12 power phases are cooled by fairly large black and red heat sinks which do make use of a heat pipe. As always I?d like for the DIMM slots to be a bit further away from the CPU socket but that?s sadly not possible. Choosing your RAM and cooling hardware wisely though can avoid complications in regard to clearance easily.

There are 4 DDR3 DIMM slots supporting up to DDR3 3000MHz speeds through overclocking and a total of 32GB of RAM. These are not color coded. These are nice and out of the way of the expansion slots and allow for installation of modules despite larger graphic cards being installed. Additionally there are some V-check points next to the DIMM slots for testing purposes. You will also find the multi-BIOS switch on the left side of the DIMM slots and toward the PCB edge.

The south bridge is located in the southwest corner of the motherboard. It features a flat heat sink with a dragon motif. Directly in front of that are the 8 onboard SATA 6Gb/s ports. The ones with the red sticker are Intel ports and the bare ports are attached to the ASM1061 controller. Naturally the Intel controller supports RAID0, 1, 5, and RAID10. The ASM1061 is not a RAID controller at all.

The expansion slot area was well thought out. The motherboard supports both CrossFireX and SLI technologies. The PCI-Express configuration supports a 16x0, 8x8, or 8x4x4 configuration for the PCI-Express x16 slots. There are four PCIe x1 slots which are all PCI-Express 2.0 compliant.

The expansion slot area is packed full of ports. We?ve got 2x USB 2.0 ports, 1x PS/2 mouse and keyboard port, clear CMOS button, S/PDIF output, DVI-D, DSUB, 4x USB 3.0 ports 1x RJ-45 port, 1x HDMI port and six mini-stereo jacks which are gold plated for audio.

Study: U.S. taking positive, but small, steps ... - Alban Inspections

There is no doubt that recent years have seen a giant, nationwide push toward energy efficiency. Eco-friendly lifestyles no longer make up a small niche of Americans' behavior. While the United States is still a long way from becoming completely sustainable and self-sufficient in its power consumption, it's clear that significant progress has been made in that direction. But to what extent? When all is said and done, just how far along is the United States on its path to green power?

A new study from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) shows that the answer to that question is mostly positive, but in need of serious improvement. Breaking down national energy consumption into a handful of categories, the ACEEE paper reveals that the greatest strides have been made in homes' energy consumption, savings on electricity and heating bills, fuel efficient cars, building codes updated to reflect more efficient measures and general energy productivity. But while there has been positive growth in all these areas, others are still lacking. Additionally, this rising trend indicates that these gains are still considerably smaller than they need to be, reports Greentech Media.

"The United States is becoming more energy-efficient, but the improvements we measured are generally small, indicating that we are still wasting tremendous amounts of energy," Naomi Baum, ACEEE chief operating officer, wrote in a blog post.?"The small improvements we see in the rest of the indicators indicate that we have yet to embrace energy efficiency as a principal objective and are not doing enough to realize its full potential."

Virginia residents interested in creating their own energy efficient homes should make an appointment with Virginia home inspectors. A home inspection will help find ways that your property is wasting energy, giving your a home more eco-friendly edge while bringing down your electric bills.
