One way to beat them at their own game is to promote other choices (not alternatives) to AA/NA. SO I have taken out my very first ad.
I know AA must be exposed and blah blah blah, but We, I can promote Smart, Rational, WFS, SOS and such to enlighten the world that AA is not the only way.
This is the kind of thing that AA did in its early years especially in the 1950's. Marty Mann went around and spoke to the biggest 500 companies in America and she did this promoting AA for the first 5 years of the National Council on Alcoholism. She used this Non profit to promote AA under the guise of "caring".
I plan on not only exposing AA in my Documentary but really highlighting the power of empowering choices that are sane, non religious and CURRENT!!!
If all of us here can write and send letters to professionals. If anyone can take out the smallest ad promoting your favorite choice ...If you can write your own personal horror story and send it to your local newspaper, if you can tell every professional you know about the truth about 12 step we can make change.
I am not stupid. Hollywood seems to be in love with AA. Too many stars have attended and promote it with their shows like Nurse Jackie.
If anyone needs a good letter to send, I had a blogger help me write a really great letter to a Professionals exposing all of this. firstname.lastname@example.com

I had a meeting yesterday with some people from our local Drug and Alcohol Agency. Lo and behold, when I got there, 2 out of 5 of the people were active members of the serene fraternity. Luckily, the other 3 were far above them on the pecking order (2 psychiatrists and the Agency Director). The meeting was, in part, to discuss the possibilities of opening SMART meetings in the city.
The 2 "Chosen People" both recognised me immediately, although neither let on that they knew me. Fine by me...lol. I then spent 40 minutes ridiculing AA with facts that I had learned directly from the OP. Talk about in my element - I could hardly stop grinning...lol. The most fun was in highlighting the deficiencies of sponsorship. The people that mattered couldn't believe that there was no monitoring of how good, or bad, a sponsor was. AA's own figure of 17% of sponsors advising sponcees off of their meds sort of clinched it. Likening it to the same odds as Russian Roulette really brings it home.
Nothing definite decided on yet, but every journey begins with the first step...lol

"A while back, I ran across a survey on A.A. members' attitudes towards medications, and it claimed that A.A. members were not at all dogmatic about medications — only 17% of the sponsors were against them. The author of that article was pro-A.A. and trying to put a smiley-face on the issue. What the writer of the article did not seem to be able to realize is: that meant that any person with both a psychiatric and a drug or alcohol problem had a 17% chance of getting a bad sponsor who just might kill him or her with stupid orders...
(See: Alcoholics Anonymous and the Use of Medications to Prevent Relapse: An Anonymous Survey of Member Attitudes. ROBERT G. RYCHTARIK; GERARD J. CONNORS; KURT H. DERMEN; PAUL R. STASIEWICZ. Journal of Studies on Alcohol, Jan 2000 v61 i1 p134.)
Guess what 17% is equal to? That is almost exactly a one-in-six chance — the odds in Russian Roulette. Would you actually play real Russian Roulette with a Colt 45 six-shooter that had one bullet in it? Would you advise a friend to?"

It happened to me twice. I tried it the first time and had extreme suicidal ideation after cutting my meds in half. The second time, I fired the sponsor. You just can't monkey with someone's brain chemistry like that. It's an extremely dangerous game they play. There is a study out that says 60% of AA members had someone make that "suggestion."

Yes Pennywise, that's what I've heard about Clancy, but I'm on the opposite side of the nation, and it's happened to me. Twice. I quit letting people know I was on meds. I had depression all my life and had been on many antidepressants to no avail until I went to detox. They prescribed me something new and the change has been profound. I've never been happy like this and it's nearly impossible to describe. And as time goes on it just gets better and better. The only way I'll ever give up my meds is when they wrestle them out of my cold dead hands.

AA has admitted in a pamphlet and in the very, very back of the "Living Sober" book in an appendix nobody will every read that this stance has resulted in suicide. Even AAcultwatch has a correspondence between an agency for patients who suffer mental "illness" and the local AA, saying that they knew AA in general did it, but one specific group was refusing help to people on meds. Have you seen that? The specific group was notified and they refused to change their ways. Nobody seemed to address that it was happening in AA in general.
Tue, 02/21/2012 - 17:13
But you are not saying that this paragraph is telling you that it isn't an AA stance that no one take prescribed meds. I cannot see it being a group conscience to not help people taking prescribed meds. I do know people that will not work with drug addicts, feeling that they are not in a position to since they are acoholics. AA in general does NOT advocate a no meds position, but it does support taking whatever is prescribed AS prescribed and to work with medical professionals honestly so that they know an alcoholics suspeptibility to certain drugs.

I hear what your saying Clara, but reality is often very different from what AA preaches. Have you ever tried to complain about anything that goes on in AA?. The whole organisation is set up so no-one is accountable. In an ideal world this could possibly work (probably not though, human nature being what it is). The problem arises when 2/3 of the members are coersed by courts/treatment centre/professional bodies etc.
Anybody tries to complain to AAWS in New York usually gets a standard brush-off along the lines of "All groups are autonomous.....". When no-one is responsible and no-one is monitoring what goes on, there can be no consistency between one group and the next. Personalities take over.

No, you have no business teling someone to go off their meds, I don't care what the meds are or what they are for. But I will tell you what I have heard and rather believe. Alcoholic behavior mimics so many things so that until you get the booze out of the system and are dealing with the organic body, who knows what you have? I have friends that were diagnosed bipolar and given meds... but they never told their doctors the extent of their drinking. Some weren't even asked. But when they gave up the hooch and the behaviors leveled out... they did give up their meds. So I wonder if the dianosis is sewed inthe first place at times...

I had a long talk with my psychiatrist and my therapist.
My psychiatrist is pretty much anti-support group..which is better than being pro-AA, if you ask me. I can see why a non-addict medical professional would have this view, seeing as AA/NA buddies relapse together all the time.
My therapist wasn't aware of other support groups (she is not an addiction specialist and purposely takes very few addicts on as patients because it can be so disappointing), but you better believe she is now!! I see her every 3 weeks, and last time I saw her she told me she had recommended Googling SMART and WFS to two different clients! Apparently, she has a client with 18 months sober who felt "guilty" for not attending some kind of meeting.
It is sick how 12 Step bullshit permeates our minds as a society!!
Tue, 02/21/2012 - 11:27
My doctor was the same. She thought AA was the only thing out there. AA has such a stranglehold on spreading information that it's not surprising they don't know any better. Additionally, we on here have a pretty focused outlook on the subject. For General Practitioners, addiction/abuse is just a part of what they do. Their purpose is more to find a solution rather than question it's validity, and AA wins by default most of the time.

It's simply a case of they've never heard of any alternatives. Additionally, the AA "attraction not promotion" promotional machine has been working overtime for over 70 years. Doctors are busy people. Until someone tells them differently, they're not going to spend time researching. There's a lot of wrong information out there that, hopefully, this site is going some way to rectify.

In all honesty, I have been told by doctors that they spend very little time in school studying acoholism or other forms of addictions. Granted, these are older doctors so perhaps that had changed over the past 15 years. But my own sponsor went to a shrink for ten years. He was going to be out of town while my sponsor's wife was also gone, and Gil was having a time of it. So the dr. suggested AA and Gil went. He stayed, although he did also see his shrink until the man died. I really don't know how anyone could necessarily discourage a support group. How different was it than Gil's group therapy he went to each week that his dr. hosted? I just don't get the stranglehold anyone could feel that AA could have. Other support groups started within years of AA, and a simple search reveals them easily. It would seem to me that no effort was put into it...

I am asking this, because I believe that there are two distinct groups in AA. People that go there to stop drinking and find like friends, which is fine. There is also a very defined group that organizes the group hunting trips in "Corrections Committees" primarily headed up by a few old timers and a large amount of new recruits (newcomers). These I believe are the dangerous members that manipulate other people in an attempt to grow the home group. They will also be the ones that say there are very few court mandated members and that these meetings are the safest places to be. They forget that they are organizing prospecting hunts to go into jails and prisons to bring hardened criminals back to residential church basements.

Wed, 02/22/2012 - 10:56
Oh, yes. We had people that took meetings into the the jails and also those that participated with getting information to the profressionals. That wasn't my gig. I actually got into trouble with an oldtimer that took issue with my sponsor. He's a very big DUI attorney in Annapolis and he has literature for all the A's in his office. It would seem logicall given that 90% of his cases has something to do with DUIs of some kind or other criminal activity related to the buying, seling, otherwise attempting to get whatever you needed for your habit... But he would feel remiss if he didn't let people know that there is something out there that could help, if you want it. And he's had 40 years in the fellowship so it gives him that bit in trying to help someone to NOT come back into his office again... Anyway, the guy felt he was wrong to try to suggest that someone go to a few open meetings to decide if the program might be for them. I can't remember what th district called the role of those - professional cooperation or something?
But you will always have someone in the meetings whose drinking career landed them into some legal trouble. It was certainly true of me.

But look at what you say. Doctors are busy people, therefore they do not know. That puts the onus on them, not that AA keeps anyone from knowing about alternatives. I doubt AA would even care given that its own literature says it is but one way to get sober. Again, you just give it too much credit.

Wed, 02/22/2012 - 09:14
If you are sold on the idea that AA works, then you won't look for anything else. I don't understand why the onus would be on doctors if they have been sold the AA way. Try mentioning SMART in a meeting and listen for the sharp intake of Big Bill Breath...lol.
If AA was just what it says in the preamble, it would be harmless, a lot more beneficial than it is now and would probably have many millions more members than it has today. AA's problem is that, on the outside, it is a self help group for people who want to stay sober, but once you look into it, it's a cult religion that has nothing to do with drinking. Bad Medicine...lol

Why would they be sold on it? On one hand, you say that doctors are busy peope that just have heard about AA and perhaps not alternatives.

I know people that have gotten sober in any number of methods.

Oh yes, I think that's a given about Clara. If for no other reason, Clara sure jumped right onto the "well, everyone can look up other recovery programs" line as if it's everyone's fault if they didn't do the research. You know, even if they're docs who otherwise never have to think about this stuff.
Wed, 02/22/2012 - 10:32
Naw, I doubt it. Clara's just spewing the same old AA apologist crap. The same old "it's your fault if you find something wrong with AA". I think marietta is far too proud to take a page from the profoundly ignorant danny's handbook of deception. But I could be wrong. Time will tell...
I would, however like to know where in the big book or AA in general does AA say it's not the only way to sobriety.
Wed, 02/22/2012 - 11:09
I don't think that I am spewing anything that should be objectionable, Cause, nor do I think what is available in black and white to anyone should be a problem. There are plenty of people that didn't find a fit in AA and went on to try other things. I personally am finding that problem in EP, although I liked AA in MB very much. But I wouldn't say that it is a program issue, exactly. I just don't like the meetings here very much.
As for professional recommendations, the poster did say that his dr. didn't take on addicts often, so it may very well be right that the dr. didn't know of other areas of help. I would say that AA is probably the most recognizable, but that is due (IMO) to its age, not any effort on its part to stifle anyone else. Alcoholics Victorious started in 1948 by some pastor in Chicago, I think, and I wonder if that wasn't to keep people in his flock from leaving churches and JC for a "god of your understanding." The premise of that organization is JC and religion for sobriety, and they do give biblical references for the steps.

Sorry, got away from me. But I do believe that it is incumbant on the part of a person to do some research on what may pertain to his/her personal situation instead if just taking the easier way out, which is to let someone else do all the thinking or you. For example, my dog is terminally ill. I spent a lot of time learning about his condition and possible treatments. I just think that is responsible. For others, there are no alternatives for sic pet. You just put them down.

You said two very important words. If you DECIDE to trust someone else... To me, it is kind of that same old "ignorance of the law is no excuse..." The fact is we can know about other opportunities in anything if it is worth it to look around. When I wanted to have my neck done, I looked into all the surgeons available and then made appointments. I always tell people to do their own research when making a recommendation, but "I used Dr. White..." I don't think it is an enability... More often than not, I think it is just laziness.

First of 11 to 15 stories about Marcu Camby ready to return after missins game(s) this NBA season
Marcus Camby to reportedly make Knicks season debut Friday vs Mavericks
Marcus Camby is expected to make his New York Knicks season debut on Friday when the team hosts the Dallas Mavericks, according to Al Iannazzone of Newsday.
Camby has yet to play a game during his second career stint with the Knicks. He sat out the preseason because of a strain in his left calf but is on target to participate in full-contact practices with the team on Wednesday and Thursday and the expectation is reportedly that he will play on Friday barring any other injuries or setbacks:
"You're not going to just throw him out there," Woodson said. "I like to see guys practice a little bit and just see how they feel once they've been banged around and hit the floor a few times. He hasn't had the chance to do that."
The return of Camby, who last played for the Knicks in 2002, means less pressure to play big minutes for center Tyson Chandler, and less minutes for the elder statesmen of the team, Kurt Thomas, the oldest player in the NBA, and Rasheed Wallace. Chandler, who is battling a host of health issues including strep throat and a bone bruise in his left knee, quantified his health at 75 percent on Nov. 5. His recent setbacks limited him to just 21 minutes in the Knicks' blowout win on the road against the Philadelphia 76ers on Nov. 4.
The Knicks are now 3-0 and off to their best start since the 1999-00 season, a year after Camby joined the team.

Emily Oliver does not want to look back at the injury last spring that threatened her junior season in goal for defending NCAA soccer champion Stanford.
"It's not important," she said. "I'm moving forward now that I'm back playing."
But Oliver readily recalls how much it hurt to watch Stanford lose the College Cup national championship game 1-0 to North Carolina in 2009. It was the year before she left Flossmoor for Palo Alto, Calif., and the first year the Cardinal had made the final.
"I went to that College Cup (in North Carolina) with my family and I felt that pain, but not as much as the girls on the team," she said this week. "To come that far and be that close is heartbreaking."
Oliver would experience those emotions more intensely in 2010, when she was in goal as Stanford lost the final again 1-0 to Notre Dame.
Last season, the story finally had a happy ending. With Oliver winning the NCAA tournament's Most Valuable Defensive Player award and making two huge saves late in the final, Stanford beat Duke 1-0 for its first title.
"It was more relief than excitement," Stanford coach Paul Ratcliffe said. "We're hoping to win again in the future so we can feel more excitement."
Oliver's chances to help her team do that this fall were compromised by an April injury she declines to identify, perhaps feeling it will give opponents an advantage. Although she waited for a doctor's decision about whether she could play this season, no surgery was involved.
She returned at halftime of No. 2 Stanford's ninth game and had started five straight after Thursday night's 4-1 victory at Arizona. The team was 6-1-1 before Oliver returned and has six straight wins since.
"I'm not too far off my best level," she said. "I still have certain situations where I need to get more comfortable."
That level — and a formidable team defense — has brought Oliver 23 shutouts in 47 starts and a career goals-against average of 0.29, third-best in NCAA history.
"She has the ability to come up with the big save every time she is called upon," Ratcliffe said. "She makes difficult saves look easy because of her positioning. Ultimately, though, it is her competitive drive and confidence that impresses me most."
Six games into Oliver's freshman year, Ratcliffe gave her the starting job, replacing the goalie who had taken Stanford to the national final.
"It is rare for a freshman to do that well at such a critical position," he said.
"There was a lot of pressure on me as a freshman," she said. "I felt both super nervous and comfortable because the coaches had confidence in me and the rest of the girls had my back."
Oliver may have been more prepared than most because she left the girls team at Homewood-Flossmoor after her sophomore year to train with the Windy City Pride's Under-18 and Under-19 boys teams. That got her accustomed to harder shots, a more physical game and a faster pace of play.
"It definitely helps," two-time Olympian Nicole Barnhart said. "But no matter how prepared you are, stepping into the college level is a big transition."
Barnhart, a volunteer coach since her Stanford graduation in 2005, had done the same thing, playing for a boys high school team because her school did not have girls soccer. She was a backup as a college freshman but went on to win first-team All-America honors twice and become the Stanford goalie whose career goals-against mark (0.45) OIiver is challenging.
Oliver, a human biology major, was third-team All-America last year. She allowed only one goal in six NCAA tournament games.
She also had to make only 16 saves in those games. It didn't hurt to be playing behind the most talented team in the country.

"The Domino Theory..."
Jamie (BS '11) - 05/01/2012
When Jamie (BS '11) graduated from IU and moved to the Big Apple, she took a position as Client Service Associate at Morgan Stanley - and felt immediately overwhelmed. "I needed help learning the real world of financial services and finding my way around the company," she quickly realized. That's when Kelley graduate Richard (BS '10), a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley, stepped in. Richard went out of his way to share a range of experiences with Jamie. "Because I was from Kelley, he wanted to make a special effort to give me helpful details on using the software, who I needed to know, and insights on particular clients. He wanted to see me succeed," Jamie said. In Richard's view, helping other alumni is key to building the Kelley brand in NYC. "I want to do everything possible to promote Kelley within the financial services industry. We are starting to become a force here," he said.

The goal of this sub-forum is to have intelligent discussion on the interaction of heroes, items and game-play related issues, and to ultimately probe and provide insight on overall balance. There should be no expectations in regards to having anything in this forum to actually be implemented into the game.
This forum is still an opportunity to directly affect the developers, and that can only be achieved by expressing yourself and your arguments in a intelligent and respectful manner. In order to keep it as user-friendly as possible, we kindly request that you respect the following rules:
Please note that in Balance Dump, none of the stated rules apply except for player flaming and the regular forum rules.
Straight-out suggestions, with no support or reasoning behind them at all, will be deleted with no questions asked. They bring nothing to the discussion and are simply a waste of effort on your behalf. Repeated suggestions with no such backing will result in infractions.
Player skill, or to be more specific, any types of in-game stats are useless indicators towards how well you understand balance. The value of one's opinion is completely determined by the insight provided through their posts, not PSR/MMR. Calling out people for their stats is strictly prohibited within the confines of the balance forum.
If you are losing an argument, do not resort to attacking the player (ad hominem), improve your argument instead. Failing to follow this rule will for sure result in an infraction.
They can be found right HERE.
The current version number must preface the topic of your post, eg. [22.214.171.124] Blacksmith.
If you do not include this, unless your thread is exceptional, it is unlikely to be approved.
Whether or not a certain topic is worthy of discussion is not decided by popularity, but by the quality of the opening post and the relevance of the topic. Before starting new threads you should try to make sure (by using the SEARCH function) that the specific topic has not recently been an item of discussion.
If it was recently discussed and a Moderator closed it there is probably a reason for that, which might make the topic unfit for discussion until significant time has passed, or significant balance changes render the previous thread obsolete.
There can be a thread on anything regarding balance, as long as the foundation for argumentation is strong, or the issue is thoroughly explained. Remember though, just because a thread open post is long, doesn't mean it is good.
A Moderator will lock your post with an explanation if it fails to meet approval criteria. Please check for your created thread once a day to make sure you haven't missed a decision!
This forum is for balance purposes only. Any discussions regarding things that are more suited for Strategy, Suggestions or Mechanics forum, should be held in the appropriate forum.
This is important - repeated derailing of balance threads in favour of strategy (or mechanics) talk will result in infractions.
Do not talk about other heroes/items/game-play aspects unless they are directly comparable to the current thread. Filler posts like "cool" or "I like this idea" are not necessary; every post should be productive and in some way add to the discussion.
Read the whole topic before posting. Restating something previously mentioned in the thread just to provide your own opinion is pointless unless it further deepens the discussion.
Requisite knowledge about the topic is required to participate. If you don't know, don't post. If you think you know, but you don't - don't get mad when people call you out for it.
The game is balanced around the Forest of Caldavar map in Normal Mode (5 vs. 5).
Competitive play is our guideline for balance. Pub experiences, no matter what level of play, are virtually completely irrelevant unless no competitive statistics on the hero are available (new hero, heroes that never see play, etc.).
- Delete posts that do not follow the rules
- Approve worthy threads
- Merge, close, move, or delete threads as required
- Try to lead the discussion by example and make sure everyone stays on topic
- Infract and warn users who severely or repeatedly breaks the rules

DELTA COUNTY – The West Nile virus season is here, and health departments are warning citizens and visitors to take precautions to protect themselves.
A stream of West Nile cases – six of the ten reported cases were diagnosed this week – have struck Delta County, and several victims are hospitalized.
"With the recent rains, we are asking residents to be especially vigilant in using mosquito repellent and draining any standing water," said Delta County Public Health Director Bonnie Koehler. "The prime West Nile virus transmission season will last at least another two weeks before it begins to taper off as the mosquitoes prepare to winter-over."
Although the cases have not moved south into Montrose, Ouray or San Miguel counties, health officials are warning residents that they should not be naive to the fact that the virus is present.
"It's out there, and it's always going to be out there," said Randy Swepston, environmental health manager with Montrose County Health and Human Services. "It varies from year to year, but the important thing [for] citizens is that they can protect themselves."
Although 80 percent of people who contract the West Nile virus won't show any symptoms, the virus is a potentially serious illness, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
Serious symptoms, which about 1 percent of those infected will experience, include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, tremors, convulsions and muscle weakness, and can escalate to vision loss, numbness and paralysis. The effects can be permanent.
Milder symptoms resemble symptoms of the flu, and can include fever, body aches, nausea, vomiting and, sometimes, swollen lymph glands or a skin rash on the chest, stomach and back.
Symptoms typically develop between three and 14 days after one is bitten by an infected mosquito, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
The risk of illness is believed to be greater in older people, Swepston said, although he added that that assumption may be changing, with reports from Texas that more younger people are being infected.
"But at any age, you can protect yourself," he said.
Working to reduce areas in which mosquitoes breed and preventing bites are the best ways of avoiding the West Nile virus, according to the CDC.
Mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn, so especially during these times, it is critical to use insect repellent containing an EPA-registered active ingredient, such as DEET or oil of lemon eucalyptus, or wear long sleeve shirts and pants.
Keeping mosquitoes out of your home when they are most active, with good screens on windows and doors, is also important, and there are measures one can take to keep them from breeding around the home.
"Mosquitos breed in water – it can be a bird bath or a tire with rainwater," Swepston said. "The more you reduce that standing water, the more you control breeding."
Change water in pet dishes and replace water in bird baths weekly, recommends the CDC. The CDC also suggests driling holes in tire swings so water can drain. Keep children's wading pools empty and on their sides when not in use. being used.
Local health departments have "B.t.i dunk" available to citizens to help in prevention. The dunks are non-toxic mosquito-control tablets which contain bacteria; the tablets infect mosquito larvae, and prevent the larvae from developing into an adult. The tablets are free, and should be placed in pools of standing water. They can also be purchased commercially in Montrose.
Since 1999, more than 30,000 people have been infected by the West Nile virus, according to the CDC. This year so far, 47 states have reported the virus in humans; it has claimed 41 lives. States with the most cases are Texas, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Dakota and Oklahoma.
The virus doesn't just infect humans, it also infects animals.
There have been eight equine cases of West Nile in Colorado as of Aug. 22, including cases from Delta, Montrose and Mesa counties, according to the State Veterinarian's Office.
The West Nile virus can be carried by infected birds, and then spread locally by mosquitoes that have bit those birds. The mosquitoes then pass the virus to humans and animals.Horses are a dead-end host, and therefore, infected horses pose no threat to public health, but they can be severely affected, and are an indicator of the presence of the virus in mosquito populations.
Although there is no vaccination for humans, there is a vaccine for horses, and owners are encouraged to use it.
Area health officials have been running mosquito traps in an effort to determine where West Nile is prevalent, and will continue to do so to help create prevention plans and evaluate control methods.

Development of computational tools and their application to complex chemical systems
Development of Computational Tools and Their Application to Complex Chemical Systems
The Siepmann group develops a variety of computational chemistry tools including: Monte Carlo algorithms for efficient sampling of macromolecular conformations and spatial distributions in multi-component multi-phase systems; accurate and transferable force fields with multiple levels of resolution; and first principles simulation approaches. The Siepmann group applies these computational tools to investigate self-aggregation, phase behavior, and partitioning in polar and non-polar bulk fluids and in heterogeneous and interfacial systems. In particular, the group's efforts are directed to investigating:
- The retention processes in various chromatographic systems
- The solvation mechanisms in supercritical extraction systems, in gas-expanded liquids, and in micellar surfactant solutions
- The adsorptive properties of nanoporous materials
- The nucleation of atmospheric aerosols
- The structural characteristics of organic chromophores in heterogeneous media
- The fluid phase equilibria of hydrous silicate melts
- The prediction of PVT properties of interest for enhanced oil and gas recovery
The researchers develop and mostly utilize their own software programs. Some applications use a parallelization hierarchy where large-scale distribution (for example, 16 independent trajectories at 4 different state points) of small, but long runs (4 to 8 cores for 24 hours) are employed, whereas first principles simulations can efficiently utilize 256 to 8,000 cores.
A bibliography of this group's publications acknowledging MSI is attached.

Guerrero and Wilkerson are two of four players to hit for the cycle this season. Outfielder Eric Brynes of the Oakland A's and Travis Hafner of the Cleveland Indians are the others who pulled the trick.
In the second inning, Guerrero hit a double against left-hander Tom Glavine. The next inning he singled and then tripled to right two innings later-- all off Glavine.
Guerrero stepped up to the plate in the seventh, took an 0-1 pitch and hit his 24th home run of the season over the right-field fence off right-hander Dan Wheeler.
"I feel good and the most important thing is that we came from behind and won the ballgame," Guerrero said through interpreter and third base coach Manny Acta.
Said Wilkerson, "It was just amazing. I was sitting in the dugout and I said, 'He's going to do it.' He didn't try to do too much. He took the ball the other way. He got a pitch he could hit hard. It's a special moment to do
something like that."
Guerrero admitted that he was aware that he was close to the cycle when he stepped up to the plate to face Wheeler.
"The first pitch was a breaking ball and it was for a strike and then I was looking for the [breaking ball] and I got it," Guerrero said. "There was just one at-bat to go and I just went up there and tried to swing hard and see
what happens and it happened."
"He knew they were going to throw nothing he can pull, so he stayed back to hit that breaking pitch and took it the other way. He's the only one who can do that. That's crazy," shortstop Orlando Cabrera said. "He was in the zone and he knew he had to take it the other way and he did. He's capable of doing all that stuff."
The 21,417 fans in attendance gave Guerrero a standing ovation that lasted about five minutes after the home run. The right-handed-hitting Guerrero admitted that the large crowd motivated him to do well.
After the game, Guerrero was spotted outside the locker room being congratulated by family and friends, and manager Frank Robinson could be heard calling his star outfielder, "Cycle man." A few minutes later, outfielder Ron Calloway was so amazed by what occurred that he called
Guerrero "Machine."
While the Expos were happy for their star outfielder, they wondered aloud what the season might have been like if Guerrero hadn't missed almost two months of the season because of a herniated disc in his lower back.
"What's sad is I wonder where this team would have been if he didn't get hurt. That's the only thing I think about," said general manager Omar Minaya. "I spent too many times thinking about it. I believe we had a team here that was as good as any team in the National League."
Said Cabrera, "We really missed him when he was out of the lineup because you know he is going to have the great year if he's healthy. He could have been home right now resting for next year, but he's not. He's here playing with us and enjoying the time."
The Expos now have six players -- Guerrero, Wilkerson, Rondell White, Tim Foli, Chris Speier and Tim Raines -- who have hit for the cycle in their history.
Guerrero also became just the second player in baseball history to hit for the cycle on Sept. 14. The late Ken Boyer accomplished the feat as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals on the same date in 1961.
The Expos also became the first team since the 1998 Colorado Rockies to have two players (Dante Bichette and Neifi Perez) hit for the cycle.
For the season, Guerrero is hitting .329 with 24 home runs and 77 RBIs.
