Mike Losness Wins The 2009 Vans Pier Classic; Dillon Perillo Goes Ironman
After Saturday's summer-like weather complete with bikini clad beauties frolicking on the beach, Sunday at the Vans Pier Classic at Huntington Beach Pier was like a cold kick in the…well you get it, it was freezing! Onshore winds created a bit of havoc on the crossed-up, head-high swell, but like the say, the show must go on, and for the first time in three years, someone not from Huntington Beach won the Vans Pier Classic. That someone was none other than San Clemente's Mike Losness, who took out a talented field en route to his first WQS win a several years.
I gotta admit that I was a little perplexed earlier in the week when I saw Mike Losness' name among those gunning for the Vans Pier Classic title. Wasn't this the same Losness that should be in Tasmania for the O'Neill Coldwater Classic since it offered more points toward the ultimate goal of making the World Championship Tour? "Yeah I've been getting that question a lot lately," said Mike when I asked him why he passed on a 6-star event in favor of the WQS rated 2-star Van Pier Classic. "If I would have gone to Tasmania, I'd have been gone for seven weeks before coming home and heading straight to South Africa. Even though I did pretty well, doing the entire WQS last year took a lot out of me so this year I'm just doing select events and focusing mostly on the movie Reef is doing. I really just want to have fun and time to spend with my family." While not going to Tasmania seemed a bit odd at first, Mike is already at home in San Clemente with his wife and a big ol' check for $5,000…we're guessing Mrs. Losness is quite happy her hubby stayed home.
Dillon "Ironman" Perillo
It seemed like every time I looked up into the blustery Huntington Beach surf, Ezekiel Pro Junior Champion Dillon Perillo was riding a wave. The kid from Malibu surfed an incredible seven heats today, and won the Ezekiel Pro Junior as well as placing second in the Vans Pier Classic against the big boys where he finally hit the wall, "I was so exhausted, I tried my hardest, but every time I went to do a turn my feet kept slipping." At one point in the morning, Perillo surfed three heats in a row, winning all of them with his smooth style and big maneuvers.—JC

Official ASP Press Release:
HUNTINGTON BEACH, California (Sunday, March 29, 2009) – Mike Losness (San Clemente, CA), 28, claimed the Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Qualifying Series (WQS) 2-Star Vans Pier Classic pres. by Jack's Surfboards today over fellow finalists Dillon Perillo (Malibu, CA), 18, who won the Ezekiel pro Junior and finished in second in the men's event, Hank Gaskell (Hana, HI), 22, and Eric Geiselman (New Smyrna Beach, FL), 21, in windy two-to-four foot (1 metre) conditions at South Huntington Beach Pier this afternoon.
All surfers competing in the Vans Pier Classic were looking to better their seed towards qualification for the ASP World Tour and ASP Pro Junior surfers were out to kick 2009 off on a good note at their season opener. ASP North American Pro Junior Series competitors look to finish in the top five on the series to qualify for the prestigious Billabong ASP World Junior Championships.
Losness jumped out to an early lead in the Vans Pier Classic Final by dropping an impressive 8.5 out of 10 on his first wave with several crushing backside blasts on a right-hand Huntington wall. He eventually put the nail in the coffin over his fellow finalists when he dropped a back up score of 7.65 out of 10, solidifying the win.
"It was tough to hear out there and I could kind of hear that I had the 8.5," Losness said. "I knew I needed another good score though because all of the other guys have been surfing so well throughout the entire event. It seemed like Dillon (Perillo) was getting an 8 on every wave, so I knew I needed another score."
The explosive goofy-footer felt the key to his success at the Vans Pier Classic was partially due his relaxed approach to surfing in the event.
"The waves were not amazing all week, they were kind of small, but still contestableand still fun," Losness said. "I came up to this event not expecting too much, I had the goal of making the Quarterfinals and once I made that I figured anything after this is good. It's cool once you set goals for yourself like that, if you don't tell yourself that you have to win the event, for me, once I set my goal, I usually do better because I'm happy with myself and I can go from there."
Perillo was in domineering form throughout the event's entirety and tore his way through to both the ASP WQS and ASP Pro Junior Finals. The up-and-coming Californian made his progressive fins-free turns and air-reverses seem effortless throughout the five-day contest and claimed the Ezekiel Pro Junior and finished runner-up in the Vans Pier Classic. The Ezekiel Pro Junior win sees Perillo atop the ASP North America Pro Junior Series ratings for 2009.
"I'm so stoked to have won the first contest," Perillo said. "Every heat I just tried to stay focused and do the same thing and I had three heats back-to-back. I just had fun and tried to not get too tired."
Despite surfing seven heats on the final day of competition, Perillo gave the ASP WQS Final his all and ran out of gas while attempting to overtake eventual Vans Pier Classic champion, Losness.
"Mike pretty much blew us out of the water," Perillo said. "I was trying to win, but then I was just trying to get second. I was so exhausted, I tried my hardest, but every time I went to do a turn my feet kept slipping."
Luke Davis (Capo Beach, CA), 16, finished in third overall in the first Final appearance of his ASP Pro Junior Series career alongside Perillo, Andrew Doheny (Newport Beach, CA), 16, who finished second and Spencer Regan (Santa Barbara, CA), 19. The young Californian's surfing has significantly matured over the off-season, making Davis a standout throughout the Ezekiel Pro Junior's entirety.
"I'm super stoked to make the Final in the first event," Davis said. "The waves picked up today and it's good to be able to start the year off strong."
The next event on the ASP North American calendar will be the ASP WQS 6-Star PRIME 6.0 Lowers Pro running in conjunction with ASP Grade-2 Oakley Pro Junior from April 28 through May 2, 2009.

News from Eisenhower Medical Center
What makes fish such a heart-nourishing food? A good source of protein and important nutrients, fish is also low in saturated fat. Omega 3 fatty acids, which are abundant in fatty fish (for example, salmon and tuna), have been shown to reduce risks for heart disease in a number of studies.
To benefit from the cardio protective effects of fish, the American Heart Association recommends eating fish, particularly fatty fish, at least twice a week. Common fatty fish rich in omega 3 fatty acids include salmon, herring, mackerel, sardines, trout and albacore tuna.
Although some consumers may worry about mercury levels, the United States Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency jointly report that fish and shellfish are important parts of a healthy and balanced diet, and for most people, research indicates that mercury from fish consumption should not be a health concern. Specific population groups, including young children, pregnant women and nursing mothers, should avoid fish with high levels of mercury (for example, shark, tilefish, king mackerel and swordfish) due to potential harm to the developing nervous system of an unborn baby or a young child. Still, it is recommended that these groups eat up to 12 ounces of "low-mercury" fish per week for their nutritional benefits. Common fish that are low in mercury are canned light tuna, salmon, catfish, shrimp, pollock, cod and herring.
2 tuna fillets, 4 ounces each
11/2 Tablespoons fresh bread crumbs
21/4 teaspoons thyme, dried 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, minced

For your point given is why I never saw the midcard as a bad thing. Not everyone can be the guy, nor everyone can be a jobber. Everyone has their role and should be able to play it well. There shouldn't be ashameful spell with being a midcarder.

Le Mans is not just a race; it's an event, a huge party, a world gathering, a life-and-death struggle, an experience like no other. The track's 14 kilometers and 28 turns have long been the proving ground for every automaker serious about its presence in the motorsports world. Le Mans is also the ultimate opportunity for many a "pilote" to showcase his talent, test his determination, and, occasionally, demonstrate his heroics.
Indy may stake a claim of historical parity, and Sebring may be acomparable test of endurance, but the annual Le Mans extravaganza tops them all for longevity, speed, manufacturer participation, public attendance (a record 235,000 spectators turned out this year), party atmosphere, and overall influence on the evolution of motorsports.
In truth, the race is more like a three-week experience than a 24-hour event. The teams arrive early for prequalifying, the starting field having been announced by the ACO (Automobile Club de'Ouest) a few months earlier. If your team is lucky enough to be selected, or if your previous year's racing record warrants an automatic invitation, you are still required to show up for qualifying. During "Pre-Qual," each of the three drivers designated for the entry must complete a few laps in thecar at a speed sufficient to confirm its suitability for competition. If you are as well prepared as the Pratt & Miller/Corvette Racing Team effort, Pre-Qual is a mere formality. Other teams will spend the next week trying to finish their cars or tweaking them to a competitive level.
Corvette Racing arrived in France better prepared than ever before. The C6.Rs were a new commodity last year, and the learning curve on setup and preparation was steep. This time Pratt & Miller's engineers had a full year of testing and tuning under their belt. Satisfied with their performance at Pre-Qual, team members tucked away their finely honed race machines and set off for a few days of relaxation in Spain or the French countryside.
When race day arrived, both the cars and their minders were well prepared to take on the largest GT1 field--12 cars--in recent Le Mans history. This year the Corvettes faced challenges from two Prodrive and two privateer Aston Martins, a Lamborghini, a few Ferraris, a Saleen, and even an old Pratt & Miller C5-R, regularly campaigned by its French owners in the European Le Mans series. All in all, it was an extremely challenging field, one that promised to provide the best competition among the four classes (LMP1, LMP2, GT1, GT2) at this year's event.
In fairness, the Lamborghini, Saleen, and the Ferraris were playing catch-up, running architecture that was already a couple of seasons old. The Astons posed the biggest threat to a Corvette three-peat, and they were loaded for bear after disappointing finishes in both Sebring and last year's Le Mans contest. Still, in a 24-hour race, any team capable of surviving the entire grueling spectacle stands a chance of winning.
The 24 Hours of Le Mans really begins on Monday and Tuesday, when scrutineering is held in the park across the street from the city's magnificent old cathedral. In a longstanding Le Mans tradition, the teams are paraded out, one at a time, in the sweltering summer heat to be certified to run according to the ACO's regulations. The inspection process ends in a posed photo session for the entire team, followed by interviews with the drivers.
The real action gets underway Wednesday and Thursday. These days are designated as "official qualifying" and run from 7 p.m. to midnight. The qualifying schedule for both days starts with a session that runs from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and is followed by a one-hour break for tweaking the cars. A second session runs from 10 p.m. to 12 p.m. The Frenchsummertime provides daylight to well after 10 p.m., so the first session is run in daylight. The second session takes place in twilight and darkness.
This year, the Corvettes and Astons waited each other out throughout the first day's qualifying. The second day's qualifying finally got spirited when Ron Fellows, driving the No. 63 C6.R, threw down an impressive qualifying time just before the end of the first session. Everyone waited to see how the Astons would respond. Were they holding back?
The answer came that evening in the final session, as the Astons secured the first, second, and fourth qualifying positions on the starting grid. The C6.Rs ended up third (No. 64) and sixth (No. 63). In truth, the Astons were probably capable of hitting the fast numbers anytime theywished, as the DBR9 has always shown great speed at Le Mans. The Brits were just waiting to see what time they had to beat to top the Corvettes. Smashing the GT1 field with a devastating number would only have served to put the ACO on notice that the Astons may require a performance penalty (extra weight or air restriction) next time around.
Also significant to the equation was that the Corvettes were running with full fuel loads throughout the second day's qualifying. The Corvette team had found that the off-season work by Katech (their engine builder) and Bosch (electronics) had produced a package that was capable of going 14 laps on a full tank, whereas last year's cars were managing only 13. This is a big deal when you're refueling every hour for 24 hours. The longer stretches between pit stops add up to a significant performance edge.
With the cars assigned their qualifying positions, the teams spent Friday preparing the cars for race day on Saturday. For the Corvette team, this means a complete teardown and rebuild of both cars, including transmission and engine changes. The Pratt & Miller team members buildtheir own cars, so for them this is just another day at the office. It can be a long, busy day, however, as the GM engineers always seem to come up with a last-minute tweak they want to employ. Nevertheless, both cars were ready to go by Saturday morning.
Le Mans on Friday also means the Parade of the Pilotes. It's held in the town city center and is quite a spectacle, as all of the drivers are out in force to rub elbows with the public. The event is well attended by the racing fans and is a great excuse to ring the party bell.
With Saturday's race finally upon them, the team began a waiting game until the 5 p.m. start (one hour later than usual, as dictated by World Cup Soccer play in Germany). There are elaborate festivities ahead of the race, and this year's were especially intense, as the ACO was celebrating its 100th anniversary. For the drivers, the wait must feellike holding back a fidgeting thoroughbred at the starting gate. With the red mist glowing, the only thing he can think is, just drop the starting flag and get on with it.

A few details I pulled from Bill's website:
"There are three differences between using this kit to upgrade your NXT and buying a new set.
- We don't include the sticker sheet, the new color sensor or NXT-G version 2.0 (the CD-ROM). Programs requiring the color sensor would have to be adapted to read grayscale values using your existing light sensor. As for the CD, LEGO has a very restrictive license prohibiting resale of their software. It's written so restrictively, you technically couldn't even include it if you sold your own original kit!
- Due to availability, the elements probably won't be the exact same color as ships with the official NXT 2.0 kit. I'll match them when I can, but there are no guarantees as to colors included.
- THIS KIT IS $200 LESS THAN THE PRICE OF A NEW NXT KIT. Why rebuy all the parts you already own?
If you purchase this kit, please let us know what you think!

Wednesday, November 27th (All times Eastern)
Philadelphia Flyers (10-11-2) at Tampa Bay Lightning (15-8-1), 7:30 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - Vincent Lecavalier is set to make his return to Tampa Bay, as his Philadelphia Flyers visit the Lightning for Wednesday's showdown at the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
Lecavalier was selected by Tampa with the first overall pick of the 1998 draft and he is Tampa Bay's all-time leader in goals (383) and games played (1,037). The former Lightning captain spent his entire career in Tampa before having the remainder of his contract bought out in the offseason.
He then signed a five-year contract with Philadelphia.
"To actually play against the Lightning, I don't know how I'm going to feel but it's definitely going to be a special night and I'm really excited about it," Lecavalier said of his return.
Lecavalier has eight goals this season, tying him for the team lead. He is also third on the club with 13 points over 19 games.
The Lightning, meanwhile, hope to build off a blowout win when they try to continue their recent mastery of the Flyers.
Tampa was on a four-game losing streak before busting out of the slump with Monday's 5-0 rout of the visiting New York Rangers. The Lightning will aim to keep the momentum going when it hosts another Metropolitan Division club in the middle test of a three-game homestand.
The Lightning have won four of five, five of seven and eight of the past 11 meetings against the Flyers overall and Philly has dropped four in a row and five of its last six games in Tampa.
Wednesday's tilt marks the first of three scheduled encounters between the Bolts and Flyers this season.
A return home was apparently just what the Lightning needed in their last trip to the ice. Tampa went 0-3-1 during a four-game road trip before slamming the Rangers on Monday at the Forum. The 5-0 rout represented the sixth straight home win for Tampa, which is 9-2-0 as the host this season compared to a 6-6-1 mark on the road.
Martin St. Louis and Teddy Purcell each scored twice to support a 37-save performance from Ben Bishop, who recorded his second shutout of the season.
Nikita Kucherov added a goal in his NHL debut, with St. Louis and Purcell each tacking on an assist to help Tampa Bay down the Rangers. Kucherov was a second-round pick (58th overall) by the Lightning at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
"First of all, he's not afraid to shoot the puck," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said of Kucherov. "And you've got a good chance of scoring when you shoot. That will not be the last goal that kid will score in the NHL."
In addition to playing without superstar centerman Steven Stamkos, who is out indefinitely following surgery to repair a broken right tibia, the Lightning could be without forward Ryan Malone for a second straight game on Wednesday. Malone, who has three goals and six assists this season, is suffering from a bruised foot.
While Tampa Bay tries to win a seventh straight home game tonight, the Flyers will focus on getting back on track after having a three-game winning streak halted Monday night at Florida.
Philadelphia began a stretch of eight road games in nine outings in Sunrise and was handed a 3-1 setback by the Panthers. Tim Thomas was the star for Florida, stopping 38 shots in the winning effort.
Wayne Simmonds scored the lone goal for the Flyers, who had won six of seven coming into the contest. Steve Mason gave up all three goals on 31 shots in the loss.
"We were warned not to take them lightly and we didn't listen," said Mason. "They have a lot of young guys over there who have some jump to their game and they took it to us tonight."
Philadelphia, which will host Winnipeg on Friday before heading out on a six- game road trip, is 4-4-2 as the visiting team this season.
Bishop expects to start tonight for Tampa. He is 0-1-0 in his career against Philly after dropping a 2-1 decision versus the Flyers on March 2 of last season while still a member of the Ottawa Senators.
Mason is 1-1-1 with a 2.31 goals against average in three career starts against Tampa.

Data analysis and statistical computations can be done using high-level scripting languages, as well as a lower-level language, such as JAVA. It incorporates many open-source JAVA packages into a coherent interface using the concept of dynamic scripting.
- DMelt creates high-quality vector-graphics images (SVG, EPS, etc.) that can be included in LaTeX and other text-processing systems.
Supported programming languages
DataMelt can be used with several scripting languages for the JAVA platform: Jython (Python programming language), Groovy, JRuby (Ruby programming language) and BeanShell. All scripting languages use common DMelt JAVA API. Data analyses and statistical computations can be done in JAVA. Finally, symbolic calculations can be done using Matlab/Octave high-level interpreted language integrated with JAVA.
Supported platforms
DataMelt runs on Windows, Linux, Mac and Android operating systems. The Android application is called AWork. Thus the software represents the ultimate analysis framework which can be used on any hardware, such as desktops, laptops, netbooks, production servers and android tablets.
Portable, commercial friendly application
DataMelt is a portable application. No installation is needed: simply download and unzip the package, and you are ready to run it. One can run it from a hard drive, from a USB flash drive or from any media. DataMelt exists as an open-source portable application, and as JAVA libraries under a commercial friendly license.
DataMelt is a successor of the popular jHepWork (2005-2013) and SCaVis (2013-2015) programs which were under intensive development since 2005. It is fully backward compatible with jHepWork 3.9 and SCaVis 2.3.

U.S. Immigration Policy Program
Recent Activity
An examination of illegal immigration's overall impact on the U.S. economy, which this report finds is negligible despite clear benefits for employers and unauthorized immigrants and slightly depressed wages for low-skilled native workers.
This report analyzes employment and unemployment patterns from 1994 to 2008, offers possible explanations for why labor market outcomes for immigrants have been more cyclical, and proposes possible public policy solutions for mitigating immigrants' vulnerability to the business cycle.
A panel discussion exploring whether ICE is capable of meeting legal standards and manage its detention system with ICE's Dora Schriro, Detention Watch Network's Andrea Black, and MPI expert Donald Kerwin.
This report explores whether U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is capable of fully complying with the law and managing its sprawling detention system, and provides a roadmap for meeting the data needs essential for making humane, cost-effective, and legally sound decisions related to those in custody.
A webinar that examines the E-Verify system, with report co-author Marc R. Rosenblum, MPI Senior Policy Analyst.
This discussion focuses on E-Verify, the federal government's electronic employment verification system, and the release of an MPI report that assesses the program's strengths and weaknesses.
This report provides an in-depth examination of the limitations of the existing E-Verify system. Alongside recommendations for strengthening E-Verify and mitigating its unintended consequences, the report offers proposals for three next-generation verification pilot concepts that would tap new technologies and practices to overcome the core weaknesses of the system.
In order to rectify the shortcomings of a rigid and outdated U.S. visa system set in place by the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), this report recommends creating a new visa stream called provisional visas which would sync visa policies with the way in which labor markets work in practice, and bridge temporary and permanent employment-based admissions to the United States in a predictable and transparent way.

June 2013
For the seventh straight year, less than half of U.S. workers are satisfied with their jobs, according to the 2013 version of The Conference Board Job Satisfaction Survey. In spite of the gloomy news, job satisfaction has, across most regions and demographic variables, completely recovered from its prerecession figures. This glimpse of hope may signify that organizations may soon experience the positive effects of a more engaged workforce.


text: I am not an engineer but I have some concerns about the heat dissipation regarding the new Mac Pro's design. The heat is being circulated upwards out of a cylinder like shape and, I think the fan may get loud over time in the Mac Pro trying to get rid of the heat. In a conventional square computer, heat is dissipated outwards and away from the computer. The Mac Pro's design is considerably small also, especially considering the amount of intensive tasks it will perform like graphic design, video editing etc, and this will as a result will create a lot of heat within a small space. What do you think?

Leonard Hood Brandon, M.D., age 86, of Starkville, Mississippi, passed away on June 7, 2013 at 7:25 p.m. with his family by his side. He will be greatly missed by all those who loved him and found him to be a steady and loving father, husband, friend and doctor.
Dr. Brandon was born in Greenville, MS on February 17, 1927 the son of Lucile Love Brandon of Arcola, MS and Leonard Hood Brandon, Sr. of Aberdeen, MS. He grew up with his brother Doug on their family farm in Arcola, MS until 1939 when the family moved to Jackson, MS. He graduated from Central High School at the age of 16 and then attended Millsaps College for one year. He then went on to study at Vanderbilt University and North Carolina State University while serving in the army. He was stationed in Manila, Phillippines after World War II and was honorably discharged from the 4025th Signal
Service Group as a Second Lieutenant and subsequently from the Army Reserve Medical Corps as Major. After the war, he returned to Millsaps College to finish his BS Degree. He then attended Columbia Medical School in New York City, where he graduated with his Doctor of Medicine degree in 1952. He completed a rotating internship at Harford Hospital in Hartford, CT followed by a year of resident training in Internal Medicine at the VA Hospital in Nashville, TN.
While at Columbia, he met his wife, Rachel Carmichael from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They were married at The Little Church Around the Corner in New York City on Thanksgiving Day, 1950.
Dr. Brandon went on to become board certified in Family Medicine. He began his practice of Medicine in Starkville, MS in 1954 and retired in 2008. During his medical career Dr. Brandon served in many leadership positions, which included Chief of Staff of Oktibbeha County Hospital, President of Prairie Medical Society, President of the Mississippi Academy of Family Physicians, and Board of Trustees member for the Mississippi State Medical Association. He was awarded Family Physician of the Year by the Mississippi Academy of Family Physicians in 2004, and the Arthur A. Derrick Award from the Information and Quality Healthcare in 2007. Dr. Brandon was active for more than 20 years in the medical student preceptor program affiliated with the University of Mississippi Medical School, through which he housed and taught medical students the art of Family Medicine.
Outside of his medical career he served as Lions Club President and County Commissioner on the Region Seven Mental Health and Community Counseling Services in Starkville, MS. His love of opera led him to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Mississippi Opera Association. Dr. Brandon also enjoyed playing tennis well into his seventies. He and Rachel became members of the Episcopal Church of Resurrection in Starkville where they met many of their closest lifelong friends. He served as Senior Warden in the church.
Leonard and Rachel started their family while in Harford, CT and it continued to grow while in Starkville, MS. Despite his devotion to medicine, he always found time to spend with his four children and wife. He especially enjoyed introducing his family to many of the National Parks of the United States and continued to enjoy traveling with his family throughout his life.Â
Leonard is survived by his wife, Rachel Brandon of Starkville, MS; his daughter Karen McRaney and her husband, Tom, of Picayune, MS; his sons Doug Brandon and his wife, Carol, of Murphreesboro, TN, David Brandon and his wife, Karen, of Washington, D.C., and Steven Brandon and his wife, Kathy, of Starkville, MS; his grandchildren Emily Brandon and Caroline Brandon of Jackson, MS; Andrew Brandon of Murphreesboro, TN; Jonathan Brandon of Starkville, MS; Rachel Brandon of Washington, D.C.; and Sarah Williams of Thompson Station, TN; and his 2 great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother Doug Brandon and his wife Betty of Oxford, MS and many more cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Visitation will be held at the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection, 105 North Montgomery St. in Starkville, MS, on Sunday June 9, 2013 from 5-7 p.m. Funeral Services will be held in the sanctuary of the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection on Monday June 10, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. with the burial to follow at Oddfellows Cemetery in Aberdeen, MS.

CoreLink CCN-504 Introduction
CoreLink CCN-504 is the first in a family of products. It enables a fully-coherent, high-performance many-core solution that supports up to 16 cores on the same silicon die. The CoreLink CCN-504 enables system coherency in heterogeneous multicore and multi-cluster CPU/GPU systems, such as those required for the networking and high-performance computation markets, by enabling each processor in the system to access the other processor caches. This reduces the need to access off-chip memory, saving time and energy, which is a key enabler in systems based on ARM big.LITTLE™ processing, a new paradigm that can deliver both high-performance, required for content creation and consumption, while also delivering extreme power efficiency for extended battery life.
Optimised for ARM Cortex Processors
The CoreLink CCN-504 supports both the current-generation high-end Cortex-A15 processor and the latest Cortex-A50 series processors and is the first in a family of network-based interconnect products planned by ARM. Building on the success of AMBA® 4 ACE™ specification the CoreLink CCN-504 also benefits from ARM experience in hardware-based coherency, that enables improved energy-efficiency and lower latency than software coherency. Over 8000 AMBA 4 ACE specifications have been downloaded to date.
Integrated Low Latency Level 3 Cache
The CoreLink CCN-504 Cache Coherent Network includes integrated level 3 (L3) cache and snoop filter functions. The L3 cache, which is configurable up to 16MB, extends on-chip caching for demanding workloads and offers low latency on-chip memory for allocation and sharing of data between processors, high-speed IO interfaces and accelerators. The snoop filter removes the need for broadcast coherency messaging, further reducing latency and power.
High Performance DDR3 and DDR4 Memory Interfaces
The CoreLink CCN-504 is optimised to work with the CoreLink DMC-520 Dynamic Memory Controller. The CoreLink DMC-520 provides a high-bandwidth interface to shared off-chip memory, such as DDR3, DDR3L and DDR4 DRAM. Enterprise class RAS (Reliability, Availability and Serviceability) features such as ECC for x72 DRAM, TrustZone security and End to End QoS are integral components of this new memory controller. CoreLink DMC-520 is part of an integrated ARM DDR4/3 interface solution incorporating Artisan® DDR4/3 Phy IP planned for introduction in 2013.
CoreLink CCN Cache Coherent Network Series
CoreLink CCN-504 Cache Coherent Network is the first in a series of products designed for high performance, power efficient server and network infrastructure products. ARM will be announcing further products to allow our partners to optimise the interconnect for their system requirements.
ARM leadership in scalable, power-efficient multi-core and 'many-core' technology will address the demand for energy-efficient SoC solutions for use in servers and network infrastructure. As these markets are increasingly power- and cost-constrained, the effectiveness of these 'many-core' processor clusters rely on the whole system being optimized.

For the first time, more data is being created by devices at the edge of the Internet rather than from centralized systems. What does this mean for today's IT professional? In this Power Panel at @ThingsExpo, moderated by Conference Chair Roger Strukhoff, panelists addressed this very serious issue of profound change in the industry.

The radio tower resting in the brush just off Montauk Highway along the Napeague Stretch has been out of use as a broadcast device for some time — but John Fuller hopes to help change that.
Fuller, the president of Red Wolf Broadcasting, which runs four FM stations in Connecticut and one AM station in Burlington, Vermont, aims to add an East End radio station to his company's radio cache. Fuller explained his vision to the East Hampton Town Planning Board at a meeting last month, unveiling vague details about his new station, 94.9 FM, which he hopes to transmit from the Montauk tower.
According to Fuller, the proposed station would be affiliated with CBS radio and the Wall Street Journal report, allowing the station to broadcast breaking news and national headlines. But the station will also feature radio personalities and local reporting, as well as arts and entertainment updates.
"We'll have a local morning show and we'll have news from all over Long Island—so we'll report on things going on in Sag Harbor," Fuller explained in an interview on Wednesday. He added that some local news will also come out of Connecticut.
As for news radio on the East End, Fuller added, "it's really an interesting market. There are a bunch of papers, but for media news, there really aren't a lot of options, especially for breaking stories."
The ratio of original programming to network news would probably be 50/50, Fuller added.
Though he has been in the radio business for over 25 years, Fuller said he has never developed a news station before. In fact, when he first set his sights on 94.9 FM about 10 years ago, he never expected to turn the station into a straight news venture.
But by the time he bought the license this summer, after consulting with radio research companies, he said it was clear that radio news is switching over from AM to FM. "This is the wave of the future," he added.
East Hampton Town Planner Eric Schantz explained in an interview earlier this week that until this past October, the tower in Montauk had only held defunct radio transmitters, which could only effectively transmit cell phone service. That changed when the Community Bible Church (located in Noyac) received its license from the FCC to run radio station WEGB 90.7 and 93.3 FM.
He added that Fuller's plan is not only to install an FM radio antenna, like CBC, but to remove a total of five unused antennae —two of which rest at the very top of the tower — and replace them with his own radio antenna. The project would result in a net reduction of three of the tower's currently estimated 20 antennae (at least five of which are abandoned).
According to the site plan offered by the applicant, the proposed antenna would reach approximately 167 feet above the existing grade, which is about 20 inches taller than the two antennae that currently exist at the top of the tower.
Brian Rheaume, vice president of Red Wolf Broadcasting, told the East Hampton Town Planning Board that the radio tower is not currently visible from Montauk Highway, either with or without the proposed addition of 20 inches of antenna.
"We had to go to the top of the landfill to actually get a picture [of the antenna]," he noted.
In addition to the radio antenna, Rheaume added that the company would also need to install a four-foot dish, which would act as the station's studio transmitter. The dish is proposed to be mounted at about 112 feet, where a couple of abandoned antennae will be removed.
"That's vital to get the signal from our studio location to the tower itself," he explained. While the broadcast company has not yet set-up offices on the East End, Fuller said he hopes to find an office space somewhere on the South Fork or even the North Fork sometime soon, because he expects the station to be up and running by the first week in February.
"I don't see any real issues here in replacing some antennae," said Planning Board Member Nancy Keeshan, echoing the sentiments of the rest of the board. "And I have no problem with the added height. It's insignificant."
According to Eric Schantz, a public hearing is tentatively scheduled for after the New Year, most likely at the board's first meeting on January 12.
When asked by the planning board why he chose to broadcast his new station out of Montauk, Fuller admitted that his station, 94.9, needs to maintain a certain amount of distance from radio stations in order to be transmitted clearly. (He said 95.1 is already being broadcast out of Connecticut.)
But, he also said he likes the area; he and his wife frequently travel to the north and south forks of Long Island. "We really like it out here, and I think [the radio station] would be good for the community," he continued. "We think there's a need for it out here on the East End."

Bigfoot! The name of this supposedly mythical beast provokes scorn and laughter for some, curiosity in others, and for a few people, a knowing apprehensive look. This last set of people are those who claim to have seen Sasquatch, a swamp ape, or other hairy, two-legged creature in the wild places of North America. Although irrefutable, accepted scientific evidence is lacking, Bigfoot has earned quite a few believers on account of huge, unexplained footprints, unidentified cries during the dead of the night in wilderness areas, and credible sounding sightings.
These stories and possible evidence give some credence to the otherwise unbelievable idea that a large hairy, unidentified Hominid haunts the deep forests of North America. That spark of possible truth to the tales of Sasquatch makes Bigfoot appealing to many people with open minds and affirms its place as a wonderful garden statue. Whether you believe in Bigfoot or not, a statue of this supposed mythical creature turns an average backyard into something extraordinary. Since our Bigfoot Statues are carefully based on descriptions and legends of the creature, they demonstrate a high degree of realism. Bigfoot, the Garden Yeti turns its head to look at the observer as it quickly walks off into the forest while Bigfoot, the Bashful Yeti Tree Sculpture shows how this very shy creature has occasionally been described.
Find these and other unique statues of Sasquatch, fantastic garden fairies, and other resin garden statues at Design Toscano today.

Why More Democrats Aren't Coming Out for Marriage Equality
American public opinion on same-sex marriage has been steadily moving in the direction of support for marriage equality for some time, and recently some polls have shown a majority of the public in favor (see here for example). Politicians, however, have lagged the public on this issue, none more visibly than Barack Obama, who is famously "evolving" on the issue. One presumes that evolution will reach its higher stage some time after he gets re-elected, but you'd think that candidates running for lower offices might be a little more willing to come out in favor of marriage equality, particularly since it's so obvious that such a position will only become more popular over time. But as Jonathan Bernstein tells us, that doesn't seem to be happening, at least when it comes to Democratic Senate candidates. "The web sites of the 10 Democratic candidates running as challengers or for open seats show that very few of these candidates are eager to jump on this particular bandwagon. Only two—Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts and Chris Murphy in Connecticut—trumpet their support for marriage equality and for repealing the Defense Of Marriage Act." This might seem surprising, but if we subject it to a cold-hearted Downsian risk-reward calculation, it actually makes plenty of sense.
Let's simplify things and assume that there are three basic types of voters: those who don't want any legal recognition of same-sex couples; those who favor civil unions (i.e., legal recognition that falls short of marriage); and those who favor full marriage equality. Let's say the first group is 30 percent of the electorate, the second group is 30 percent, and the third group is 40 percent (this is approximately what you get if you give poll respondents those three options). If you come out in favor of full equality, you've lost the anti-recognition group (at least on this issue), and you've got the pro-marriage group. As for the civil-unions group, you'll gain some of them and lose some of them; some will oppose a candidate who isn't right with them, but others will be OK with someone more progressive than they are. Hard to say how many, but if we split them right in half, the maximum proportion of the public you'll have with you on this issue is 55 percent (40 percent plus half of 30 percent).
Now let's say you come out in favor of civil unions. You'll still lose most of those who oppose any recognition for same-sex couples. But probably not all—let's say that one-sixth of that 30 percent, or 5 percent, is OK with where you are. And now, instead of having half of the pro-civil-union group with you, you've got all of them with you, at least on this. But how many of the pro-marriage group have you lost? Virtually none. In other words, by taking the civil-union position, you've got 75 percent of the electorate whom you haven't alienated.
The reason is that voters who favor marriage equality haven't yet demanded that politicians take their position in order to gain their support. If you are one of those voters, you've voted for plenty of Democratic politicians who are "evolving." You may not like this state of affairs, but you've come to expect it. There may be a voter out there somewhere who would rather stay home than vote for a Democrat who takes the civil-unions position, but if so, he doesn't have a lot of company.
This is a rather crude analysis that doesn't take into account the particular dynamics of each campaign, but it does demonstrate that once a candidate is sitting in the civil-unions position, there are approximately zero votes to be gained from moving from there to the pro-equality position.
All this assumes, of course, that the candidates have no actual principles and are making decisions solely on the basis of what will win them the most votes, which is obviously not the case. It also assumes that you can't win some respect (and donations) by demonstrating to voters that you are principled and courageous on this issue, which you probably can. But the larger point remains: at this point, Democratic politicians don't have a lot of votes to gain from coming out in favor of marriage equality. Eventually, we'll reach a tipping point where enough of them have embraced marriage equality that to not do so is what draws attention, makes base Democratic voters find you an unacceptable candidate, and costs you votes. But we're not quite there yet.

One must also assume anyone running for office is actually a brave candidate. It does seem Democrats enjoy throwing their left leaning constituents under the bus when it comes to trying to pander to the moderates out there. The GOP is successfully bringing the center further and further to the right while the Democrats are more than happy to go along.
I do think we will see the Green Party start to evolve as an alternative to the Democrat Party.

Here, here. The Democrats must start standing FOR something as opposed to waffling on some issues and supporting only "safe" things like taxing the rich. We accuse the other side of being always opposed to something. I suggest the time has come for us to stand FOR something without question or waiver. I don't think most spineless Democrats have it in them.

This past weekend, the Wilson College softball team went 1-2 to finish 3rd in the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) championship tournament.
The Phoenix started their NEAC tournament action Saturday morning, with a come from behind, extra-innings, 5-4 victory over SUNY Institute of Technology (IT). SUNY IT batted in early runs, and Wilson found themselves facing a three run deficit going into the bottom of the sixth inning. However, the Phoenix were able to score three runs to tie the game 4-4, with RBIs from Faith Ricker (Hagerstown, MD/ North Hagerstown) , Maggie Sipps (Philadelphia, Pa./ Little Flower), and Nicole Musser (Middletown, Va./ Sherando). Both teams were unable to score in the seven, sending the game into extra innings. In the eighth inning, Wilson secured the victory from a walk-off single by NEAC South Division Player of the Year Tara Fields (Berryville, Va./ Clark County). On the mound, Leigh Roche (Hanover, Pa./ New Oxford) recorded four strikeouts, allowing only four hits, and three earned runs.
On Sunday, Wilson was defeated 3-4 by the number one seed in the North Division, Keuka College. Wilson started the game strong, scoring two runs in the first inning. However, by the top of the seventh inning, the Phoenix were down by one run. With the bases loaded, Megan Schneck (Bethel, Pa./ Tulpehocken), hit up the first base line and was called out in a foot race with the first baseman. Musser pitched six innings, picking up ten strikeouts, allowing only six hits, and two earned runs.
Wilson faced SUNY IT again for the chance to get the championship game, however, suffered a 7-4 loss from the Wildcats, eliminating the Phoenix from the tournament. SUNY IT started the game batting in four runs in the first inning, and then adding a run in the second, fourth, and fifth innings. Wilson scored runs in the second, fourth, and sixth innings, but was unable to convert in the seventh to tie the game up. Sipps was perfect at the plate going 3-3 for the game with three RBIs. Roche and Musser split time on the mound for the Phoenix, combining for 4 strikeouts.
The Phoenix are set to host Neumann University for the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III South softball championships on May 9th at 4:00 p.m. The winner of the game will play in the ECAC Division III South final four tournament, May 12th and 13th.
