However, Intel set out with the premise that, as servers are designed for optimal performance in temperatures of up to 37°C, using air cooling in desert regions could be feasible. |
The experiment was run as part of the 'Intel IT's Eight-Year Data Center Efficiency Strategy' program, which aims to reduce datacenter costs. |
Meanwhile, 65 women who knew him in high school issued a letter, released by Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, saying he has "always treated women with decency and respect" |
Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Friday denied an allegation of sexual misconduct from when he was in high school, seeking to defuse a potential threat to his confirmation as a handful of key senators remained silent on whether they would vote for him. |
The AP has not confirmed the details of the alleged incident in The New Yorker's account. Two sources told NBC News the allegation was sexual in nature, but both said the letter writer was not specific in describing Kavanaugh's alleged behavior. One source told NBC News the conduct described could allege sexual assault... |
Commander Charles Maher in an undated portrait provided by the U.S. Navy. |
Groton— The commanding officer of the USS Memphis has been relieved of duty due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command. |
Capt. William Merz, commander of Submarine Development Squadron 12 in Groton, relieved Cmdr. Charles Maher as commanding officer of the Memphis (SSN 691), a Groton-based Los Angeles-class submarine, on Nov. 18 due to a loss of confidence in Maher's ability to command, according to a Navy statement released Friday. |
The Navy is investigating 10 Memphis crew members suspected of tampering with the answer keys used in the ship's training examinations. |
Maher was not accused of involvement in the tampering, the Navy said in the statement, but "his leadership and performance fostered an environment which failed to uphold the high standards of integrity of the Submarine Force and the Navy." |
Maher has been reassigned to administrative duties at Submarine Group Two in Groton. Capt. Carl Lahti, recently the deputy commander of Development Squadron 12, now commands the Memphis. |
"The ship was safe at all times and remains safe," according to the Navy. |

Thunder Bay, Ontario, Feb 12, 2019 (Newsfile Corp via COMTEX) -- Benton Resources Inc. (BEX) ("Benton" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update that diamond drilling is well underway on the Panama Lake Gold project in the Red Lake Mining district located approximately 50km along strike from Great Bear Resource... |

The period over Christmas and New Year has become characterised by an obsession with lists. |
Lists about what gifts to buy people; lists to commemorate achievements (and to show off about them); lists on how to improve oneself in the coming year (and how to show off about that as well). |
Pretty much anything you can think of that is relevant during this most personally reflective part of the year has a bloody list written about it. |
The music industry, however, takes this to a whole new level. |
With music blogs – and by this we mean everything from the actual-music blogs that park themselves on the Hype Machine to much-larger curatory editorials like Spotify, the BBC or Vevo – comes a great deal of noise from each certifying that you absolutely must keep an eye on the artists that they have tipped, otherwise ... |
The more avid new music enthusiasts among us may well have noticed that a great deal of these lists – particularly from some of the wider-reaching publications – contain many of the same, sometimes already familiar names. |
It leads to some interesting conspiracy theories. Perhaps our future musical tastes are in fact being made by scary media people behind closed doors, and we are, in fact, being fed heavily filtered versions of certain artists’ careers in order to make us think that every ‘new’ artist we encounter has a rags-to-riches s... |
So, rather than swallowing the all-powerful music PR schtick, we went to some of the most reputable purveyors of new, independent music in the UK and asked them for their musical tips. |
Ultimately they too may have an agenda in terms of what they are recommending, but in our minds that doesn’t make their love for the artist they are tipping any less relevant, nor more importantly does it make the music any less awesome. |
Each has picked two or three, and shared their most intimate, innermost thoughts as to why each artist deserves props going into 2017. |
Without further ado, we give you the ultimate Artists To Watch 2017 List. Happy new year! |
Killing Moon Records releases have included Fickle Friends, Racing Glaciers, Slaves, Laurel, Fatherson and more. |
This Amsterdam based band, formed by lead singer and songwriter Koen Van De Wardt released their stunning debut album this year, ‘Close Eyes To Exit’. With dark swathes of retro-tinged synths and knowing nods to video game music and the Scandinavian landscape, this album is permeated with an overwhelming feeling of ‘ot... |
’50s mutant pop’ band Trudy And The Romance have taken the indie world by storm this year with their unique brand of 50s pop sparkle, sardonic flamboyance, and an old Hollywood aesthetic mixed with tongue-in-cheek Northern grit. Check out ‘My Baby’s Gone Away’ for some pure pop melodrama reminiscent of Wild Beasts in t... |
South London RnB duo S4U have enthralled with their blend of dreamy vocal harmonies and lo fi avant garde production since the release of ‘Twice’ this summer. Cementing their status as London’s most exciting new RnB artist with their latest single ‘Sket’, 90’s RnB is brought bang up to date with chopped and screwed bea... |
Transgressive Records releases have included Foals, Flume, Two Door Cinema Club, Marika Hackman and more. |
Emerging from the new Grime renaissance, Benny Mails is a truly unique voice who’ll transcend any scene you put him in. “I Blocked My Dealer” is a powerful first shot fired from an important new artist. |
One of the most exciting new guitar bands from the UK, who will release their long awaited debut LP in 2017. Following extensive touring, this most special act have been in the studio with Jim Abiss (The Arctic Monkeys/Adele) creating a bold and ambitious record. |
Vital live act Hippo Campus have built on the energy of their early EPs to deliver a more nuanced and sophisticated debut album – produced by BJ Burton (Bon Iver, Low) in the desert, this eclectic and imaginative debut will inspire all. |
PIAS releases have included Agnes Obel, Editors, Enter Shikari, Ghostpoet, Crystal Fighters and more. |
Belgian act who look destined to be the next European act to break big in the UK. Their debut album is triple platinum in their native Belgium and in 2016 they headlined Pukklepop and Lowlands festivals and became the first Belgian act to sell out Antwerps legendary Sports Palais (20,000 capacity )on their debut album ... |
Hotly tipped Norwegian act Anna of the North is set to release their debut album in 2017. It’s a project that brims with promise, having already amassed 35 million Spotify streams, toured Europe with Kygo and garnered support of tastemakers all over the world. Anna channels the bipolar climes into her own suggestive dr... |
Domino Records releases have included Arctic Monkeys, Four Tet, Villagers, Pavement, Austra and more. |
Check out “Move Systems” from West Londoner Georgia’s debut album – to warm us up for stunning new music and dates with Flaming Lips early in the new year! |
An early glimpse of one of 2017’s most exciting debut albums from south London troop Little Cub is a track previously featured on Metro called “My Nature” – literary, progressive pop the band are calling “electronica as therapy”. |
Toronto’s finest recently released a single called Future Politics – a timely, hope-filled statement from Katie Stelmanis, for the dancefloor and headphones alike. |
Abbie presents the weekly BBC Introducing show in Kent and curates the monthly Good Karma Club in London, which has played host to early shows from breaking artists such as LIFE, Ginger Snaps, The Amazons, April Towers, Model Aeroplanes, Will Joseph Cook, Bad Sounds, The Bay Rays and more. |
Just take a listen to Jain – born in France and raised in Congo – and her wonderful brand of exciting, off kilter and forward thinking pop music and you’ll have found your new favourite popstar. |
Jain has gained quite a following in France, as well as in Russia and Poland, and I believe she will soon take the UK by storm. She toured with the wonderful Christine & The Queens this year and her live show really is something special – make sure you get to see her next year! |
My favourite tune of 2016 has to be ‘Skwod’ by this confident Croydon lass. She’s definitely not one to fade into the background – fun is at the core of what Nadia is all about – witty, hooky lyrics, energetic live shows and creative music videos. Nadia stands at the front of the pack of new female MCs and I for one ca... |
This Tunbridge Wells trio have been a firm fixture on my BBC Introducing show this year, hitting us with indie rock ‘n’ roll bangers – think early Kings Of Leon mixed with The White Stripes. A young band with a real need to express themselves, very much a voice of the young generation and a band I believe will wow many... |
End Of The Trail Records releases have included Coquin Migale, Pip Hall, Blush, Spears, A Billion Lions and more. |
Currently killing it with a Gram Parsons/Lemon Twigs/Tobias Jesso Jr vibe. They were kicked out of BIMM (aka The Brighton Institute of Modern Music) which makes me smile, because that’s far more rock n roll than a degree in songwriting. Watch these guys fly. |
me in the best light, ha ha! Still love them. A band you need to see live. They’ll be all over the place in 2017. |
Been a fan of these guys since I heard them on Huw Stephens’ show on Raio 1. Something a bit special about them, and they are absolutely explosive live too. I think 2017 could be their breakthrough year! |
Secretly Canadian’s releases have included Anthony and The Johnsons, Here We Go Magic, Yoko Ono, The War On Drugs and more. |
Their new album coming on 20th January 2017 – although they have released music through DIY channels previously this will be their first full world wide release. They’re from LA, lead singer is only 19 and amazing! |
This is a young producer from Scotland making futuristic electronica with influences as diverse as traditional folk to modern techno. There will be singles in the Spring, with an album in the Autumn. |
Laissez Faire Club is an artist management company looking after the careers of Allman Brown, Ben Hobbs and BRYDE, the first two of whom the company has also released records. |
An exciting new (all male) three piece from Cologne, who released one of the best EPs I heard in 2016 (‘Fever’). Inventive electro-pop that may well follow in the footsteps of Roosevelt as an international German success story. |
I was introduced to Linying by a friend of mine who runs her UK label Akira Records. She’s a solo artist from Singapore with an otherworldly voice and amazing songs – I’m reminded of the first time I heard Lorde. I can’t see her not continuing to make huge strides in ‘17. |
Female fronted, airy electro-soul/R&B is a crowded space at the best of times, but on the evidence of her debut single (and only track online ‘Running’), Abi Ocia does it far better than most. Excited to hear more where this came from. |
Believe Recordings and distributed label releases have included James Vincent McMorrow, Flume, Highasakite, Public Service Broadcasting and more. |
The Age Of Luna have recently supported rising stars Jodie Abacus and Kiko Bun on multi-date UK tours. Following the release of BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra DJ Mistajam championed single ‘Freddie’ and triumphant Glastonbury and European festival appearences in 2016, the dynamic soulful hip-hop group will release their debut a... |
Title-track single taken from the electronic music producer’s debut EP ‘Chroma’ was added to the BBC Introducing playlist and picked up support from iD, Clash and DIY. 2017 sees Bearcubs head out on a headline tour of Europe, in conjunction with Majestic Casual, and the release of his follow up EP in March. |
Having just torn it up on an anarchic 21-date UK and EU as support to Slaves and a ten-day-stint recording their debut-album in London with Ian Dowling (Catfish & The Bottlemen, Adele), Hull punks LIFE are an “uncompromising and addictive” (Steve Lamacq) new band for 2017. |
Now I’m slightly biased on this one seeing as we look after pop songstress LOOP on the labels side, but just two singles in and she’s achieved major national coverage from the likes of Mistajam, Radio 1 introducing playlist and more props from The Times and Pop Justice both tipping LOOP off as their own ‘ones to watch’... |
Caught these guys at Tooting Tram Social earlier in December and I can see why they just got crowned ‘Best Live Band’ in the GigSlutz 2016 awards. A young band with infectious songs, will be watching these guys closely. |
Another confession to make, I found these guys and signed them to Metropolis earlier this year. Their first EP ‘The Big Unknown’ picked up hype off the back of Majestic Casual and 6 Music support back in 2014 and their latest record ‘Seeds In Sand’ is a superb comeback to the Bristol music scene. Having heard what the ... |
Groton Regional Theatre presents the comedy "Cheaters" |
Father knows best? Mother is always right? |
In the world of “Cheaters,” things aren’t so clear-cut — but they are a heck of a lot funnier. |
This Michael Jacobs comedy, being staged starting Friday by Groton Regional Theatre, begins with a couple having that familiar debate: should they wed or just remain living together? |
The couple — Allen and Michelle — each decide to go home to ask their parents for advice. This is where the farce-tastic comic complications arise: It turns out that Michelle’s father is cheating with Allen’s mother. Got that? Eventually, the couple and both sets of parents all gather for dinner — and try not to spill ... |
The GRT production, directed by Vic Panciera, features Fiona Machnik at Michelle and Brian O’Sullivan as Allen. Mark Fitton, Allison Thorpe, Andy Plasse, and Erin Machnik portray their parents. |
Performances run on the next three weekends, with the Friday performances being dinner shows. The food sounds pretty delicious. Here are just a couple highlights: Montreal seasoned flank steak and blue cheese & rosemary mashed potatoes are among the offerings this Friday, and white wine poached salmon and asparagus wit... |
“Cheaters,” Groton Senior Center, Route 117; Aug. 3-5, 10-13, 17-18; on Fridays, an individual can have dinner and the show for $20, by reservation only, with dinner starting at 6:30 p.m.; an individual can skip dinner and see the show for $12 Fridays, with a 7 p.m. arrival time; regular performances start at 8 p.m. Sa... |
How much longer are we going to live in fear of being the next victim of the thugs and murderers we have in our country. |
These criminals deserve capital punishment or a few thrashes with the birch. |
Those in Parliament, whoever they are, want to open their eyes. |
Many of them have a guard wherever they go, like many other people who are supposed to be of high distinction or with titles. |
But my life and every resident’s life is equally as important, no matter who we are. |
Convicted killers are being held in custody, kept by every taxpayer. |
Yet we still don’t have a sufficient amount of money to provide for the many homeless people we have, the people who need food banks, as well as those living in damp conditions, or unhealthy homes. |
They are the people who ought to be put first, not rotten lousy killers who delight in others losing their lives, or the filthy thugs who delight in disabling innocent people for life. |
I challenge this government to get its priorities right before its members are all the next victims of these ruthless crimes. |
If they are, they only have themselves to blame. |
NFL: Ratings across all games up 3% from 2016, including a 63% spike on Monday night after 2016's broadcast was overshadowed by presidential debate. |
Television ratings for the NFL’s Week 3 games were up 3% across all games from 2016, including a spike of 63% in the rating for Monday Night Football, the league announced Tuesday morning. |
Last year’s Week 3 Monday Night Football game went head-to-head with a presidential debate. |
That data runs counter to claims from President Trump that ratings are lagging, and would drop off last weekend in particular as numerous players around the league engaged in some sort of protest during the national anthem. |
The entire Cowboys team, including coaches and owner Jerry Jones, took a knee before the anthem was played before Monday’s game against Arizona. The Cowboys stood, with arms linked, during the performance of the anthem. |
“It has never been about respect for the flag. I think that narrative was debunked last night,” NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart said Tuesday morning. |
Protests during the anthem began last year, first by former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, as a way to raise awareness about perceived racial inequalities, police brutality and other social injustice. Other players, like Denver’s Brandon Marshall, Miami’s Kenny Stills, Philadelphia’s Malcolm Jenkins, and San Franc... |
Now the NFL and players are trying to refocus attention not on the anthem, but on the motive behind the initial protests. |
