WASHINGTON — Donald Trump needs another big night tonight to stay on track to clinch the Republican presidential nomination by the end of the primaries.
Five states are voting. Trump can afford to lose only one. There are a total of 172 delegates up for grabs. If Trump can win Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut and Delaware, he can walk away with 92. He can pick up even more if things go just right in Pennsylvania's quirky delegate primary.
WASHINGTON — Older Americans got a double dose of bad news Thursday: There will be no cost-of-living increase in Social Security benefits next year, and Medicare bills are set to soar for many.
It's just the third time in 40 years that Social Security payments will remain flat. All three times have come since 2010.
WASHINGTON — A computer breach at the IRS in which thieves stole tax information from thousands of taxpayers is much bigger than the agency originally disclosed.
An additional 220,000 potential victims had information stolen from an IRS website as part of a sophisticated scheme to use stolen identities to claim fraudulent tax refunds, the IRS said Monday. The revelation more than doubles the total number of potential victims, to 334,000.
The breach also started earlier than investigators initially thought. The tax agency first disclosed the breach in May.
WASHINGTON — Social Security turns 80 today, and the massive retirement and disability program is showing its age.
Social Security's disability fund is projected to run dry next year. The retirement fund has enough money to pay full benefits until 2035. But once the fund is depleted, the shortfalls projected to be enormous.
The stakes are huge: Nearly 60 million retirees, disabled workers, spouses and children get monthly Social Security payments, and that number that is projected to grow to 90 million over the next two decades.
WASHINGTON — Florida Sen. Bill Nelson announced Thursday that he has prostate cancer and will have surgery on Monday.
The cancer was discovered early during a routine medical exam, Nelson's office said in a statement. Extensive scans showed no evidence that the cancer had spread.
The 72-year-old Democrat the diagnosis does not affect his plan to run for re-election in 2018. He said he had no symptoms.
WASHINGTON — Investigators are blaming two IRS workers at a computer center in West Virginia for erasing thousands of emails related to the tax agency's tea party scandal, impeding congressional investigations into the treatment of conservative political groups.
The workers might be incompetent, a lead investigator said Thursday, but there is no evidence they were part of a criminal conspiracy to destroy evidence.
House Republicans were incredulous.
WASHINGTON — Social Security overpaid disability beneficiaries by nearly $17 billion over the past decade, a government watchdog said Friday, raising alarms about the massive program just as it approaches the brink of insolvency.
Many payments went to people who earned too much money to qualify for benefits, or to those no longer disabled. Payments also went to people who had died or were in prison.
WASHINGTON — House leaders used Wednesday's tax filing deadline to vote on a package of bills designed to protect taxpayers from potential abuse by the IRS, a response to recent scandals at the agency.
One bill would prevent IRS employees from using personal email accounts for official business. One would enact a taxpayers' bill of rights, and another would require the tax agency to fire employees caught targeting individuals or groups based on their politics.
Two other bills would require federal workers and contractors to be current in their federal taxes.
WASHINGTON — Americans are getting older, but not this old: Social Security records show that 6.5 million people in the U.S. have reached the ripe old age of 112.
In reality, only few could possibly be alive. As of last fall, there were only 42 people known to be that old in the entire world.
But Social Security does not have death records for millions of these people, with the oldest born in 1869, according to a report by the agency's inspector general.
WASHINGTON — Fake IRS agents have targeted more than 366,000 people with harassing phone calls demanding payments and threatening jail in the largest scam of its kind in the history of the agency, a federal investigator said Thursday.
More than 3,000 people have fallen for the ruse since 2013, said Timothy Camus, a Treasury deputy inspector general for tax administration. They were conned out of a total of $15.5 million.
The scam has claimed victims in almost every state, Camus said. One unidentified victim lost more than $500,000.
WASHINGTON — Fake IRS agents have targeted more than 366,000 people with harassing phone calls demanding payments and threatening jail as part of a huge nationwide tax scam that has cost taxpayers $15.5 million.
More than 3,000 people have fallen for the ruse since 2013, Timothy Camus, a Treasury deputy inspector general for tax administration, said Thursday.

Well-Child Visits: What Health Reform Covers
What things are covered for children under the Affordable Care Act? WebMD discusses child well visits, vaccines, preventive care, and more that may be low-cost or free.
Well-Child Visits: What Health Reform Covers
Well-Child Checkups: Age 2 to 18
Your child's doctor checks the same general things at every checkup, but there are specific details they look at depending on your child's age.
- Growth and nutrition: Weight, height, BMI, and blood pressure checks start at age 3, and cholesterol tests are done between the ages of 9 and11 and at age 17.
- Development: The doctor will inquire about your child's speech, coordination, strength, playing habits, learning, physical activity, behavior in school, sleep habits, and other things.
- Oral Health : Checkups include an examination of your child's mouth and teeth to check his risk of getting cavities. If needed, your child will be referred to a pediatric dentist for treatment.
- Hearing: Screening tests start between the ages of 4 and 5.
- Vision: Screening tests happen at every wellness visit. Your child gets a thorough eye exam around age 3 or 4.
- Vaccines: The type and timing can vary, so talk with your doctor.
Safety counseling: The doctor will provide counseling on such things as safety at home, away from home, and in the car. For younger children, this can involve preventing poisoning and talking to strangers. By school age, your child's doctor will talk about bullying and screen time. Teenagers talk with their doctors about their home life, extracurricular activities, alcohol use, drug use, sex and STD prevention, and technology safety.
Other Child Health Benefits
You and your child also have other benefits under health care reform:
- Your children must be covered by your health plan if you choose to include them. This applies even if a child has a pre-existing condition.
- The amount of money you pay out-of-pocket for medical care and prescriptions is capped. This means there is a maximum amount you'll have to pay for care your receive from doctors and hospitals that participate with your health plan. You'll have less financial worry stemming from paying to treat a child with a serious illness.
- Your children's care will not be limited. That's because health reform did away with yearly and lifetime limits for insurance coverage. This means that children with a chronic illness can get care as long as it is needed.
- Your children will get essential health benefits. All new plans must cover certain items and services, including doctor's office visits, prescription medications, screenings and vaccines, services to help with injuries or disabilities, and child dental and vision care.

Continuing on from the recent âX-Men Legacy Annual,â this issue sees Rogue journeying to Emplateâs dimension to rescue Bling, one of the young X-Men, who he kidnapped to feed his lust for increasingly-unavailable mutant bone marrow.
Following his decision to give Rogue control of her powers, Carey has kept hold of the ball to follow through with the characterâs new direction. Rogueâs new confidence and assertiveness ring particularly true, and her absorption of Tranceâs powers makes full use of her abilities and experience in a way that was rarely done in the past.
Similarly, âX-Men Legacyâ has been quite open about its remit to deal with the X-Menâs past, and former âGeneration Xâ villain Emplate fits that role perfectly. Although we know from his previous appearances that Emplate exists in a sub-dimension, this is the first time weâve seen it, as far as Iâm aware. Daniel Acuna makes a particularly good choice to depict it, as his ethereal style brilliantly expresses both the eerie, Victorian setting of Emplateâs home dimension and the ghost-form Rogue uses.
As well as top-notch background design, the character work is also excellent. Acunaâs version of Emplate is unsettling, which DOA has a gremlin-like mischievousness about him. Thereâs a gift, too, for comic timing that comes over well in the stylized âpeep showâ section. âX-Men Legacyâ has often felt a bit sidelined, artistically speaking, but Acuna breathes new life into the series.
For his part, Carey really knows how to make a series interesting to X-Men continuity junkies, but he doesnât just appeal to the nostalgia crowd either (after all, thatâs what âX-Men Foreverâ is for!) Careyâs use of characters beyond the traditional ânameâ X-Men is to be applauded. This arc, heâs taken it upon himself to round out characters like Bling and Trance, who would otherwise receive very little attention, and by expanding these lesser-known members of the X-family, Carey helps prevent the title from feeling too cannibalistic.
Xavierâs exit from the cast has truly revitalized âX-Men Legacyâ and, ultimately, arcs like this make it worth a look for virtually any X-Men fan. Give it a try!

welcome the following new tenants to Marathon Village
We Are. Welcome, and thank you for stopping by! We're a small craft spirits
company with a distillery in Bowling Green, KY and one in the works in Nashville,
Our Spirits. We make very small batches
of spirits – just a few cases at a time – in our pot stills. Everything's
done by hand, from production to bottling.
Distilling. An emerging movement, craft distilleries are small scale operations
similar to a microbrewery. Also called micro-distilleries, these hands-on operations
make spirits in small batches, often producing less in a year than larger distilleries
bottle in an hour. The large continuous stills used by major producers are eschewed
for hand-operated pot stills.
Pot stills require more
labor but allow the craft distiller fine control over flavors and give broad room
for experimentation. This allows craft distillers to focus on local ingredients
and unusual techniques to make small volume batches of high-quality spirits.

Boot City Opry Events

|7:00 pm
The Retro Band:
During the mid-1950's four young men, who would become four of the greatest entertainers of all time, launched their careers in a small recording studio in Memphis, Tennessee called Sun Records. These four entertainers toured together and became best of friends as much as rivals. They would create the 'rockabilly' sound, revolutionize 'rock & roll' and have a major influence on other genres such as 'country', 'pop' and 'rhythm & blues'. The four entertainers are….Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis; collectively referred to as the 'Million Dollar Quartet'.
Join the Retro Band at the Boot City Opry on Saturday August 8th as The Retro Band pays tribute to the 'Million Dollar Quartet' and follows their careers from their humble beginnings in the 1950's to their legendary icon status throughout the '60's & '70's.

well that's just, like, your opinion, man
Dave Brandon
Read and share if desired.
And as always, GO BLUE!
Ole Miss AD Knows How To Connect With Fans
Title says it all, follow the link.
For the lazy- Ole Miss AD Ross Bjork started a kickstarter type campaign to raise funds equivalent to costs for new goalposts and SEC fines. Big donations earned you a piece of the goalpost. He also let the students who took one of the goalposts home off the hook as long as they didn't try and sell it. He raised all of the $75,000 in 3 hours.
Dave Brandon's Athletic Department Continues to Use Student-Athletes to Save His Job
Facing a boycott of kickoff in protest of Dave Brandon's continued employment, Dave Brandon's Athletic Department puts out an official photo using a quote from Dennis Norfleet to try to stop the boycott. The caption on the Michigan Football Facebook page: "Fleet".
If you are like me in thinking that it is inappropriate for Dave Brandon to use student-athletes in orchestrated PR ploys intended to save his own job, you'll join me in thinking this is inappropriate, too. Boo, Dave. Boo.
Mrs. Jon06: "Is that official?"
Jon06: "Yes."
Mrs. Jon06: "...He should be fired."
ETA: Mr. Yost down below tries to convince me that this is not a new social media strategy. I asked him to provide an example from the Michigan Football Facebook page of any student athlete quote used in a 2014 ad. I mentioned that coaches' quotes had been used. His responses: basketball players from Twitter (not what I asked for), coaches (not what I asked for), and then a Funchess quote that never appeared on the Facebook page (not what I asked for), which (last time I checked) he is pretending was posted there. If anybody knows where he got that Funchess Chobani image, that'd be great to know. [Image was from Twitter. Again irrelevant. Again obfuscation from Mr. Yost who wants you to forget what we were discussing.] In any case I am just writing this here to register that Brandon supporters appear to be engaged in an active misinformation campaign here. Be careful out there, folks.
ETA2: To be fair, I should add here that Mr. Yost seems to think I'm lying by having moved the goalposts on him. I disagree insofar as social media strategies are a lot more specific than he seems to think, but you can see what you think if you read through the stuff below. The Funchess image he keeps reposting is from Twitter, per the above, unlike the FB-sourced image embedded in this here OP. FWIW, I am now inclined to think MGrowOld is right in the "Why the Surge" thread when it comes to at least part of the increased pressure to attend, but I still strongly dislike the AD using SA quotes in official materials in any way that even has the appearance of being an attempt to move the needle on a boycott aimed at DB.
Stupid Question about Dave Brandon
What if Dave Brandon managed to land one of the Harbaughs at the end of the year? Would you still want him fired? Is this less likely to happen than us somehow winning out or only dropping one more game this season?
For the record, I don't think this happens, and I don't really care who the athletic director is because I have zero chance of ever influencing that decision.
Brandon and the Headset (or lack thereof)
This is not an apology of Dave Brandon's actions as AD. Raising ticket prices with this 2014 schedule was a bad idea and I doubt he plans on keeping them the same price next year with both MSU and OSU coming to Michigan Stadium. Changing the student seating policy from assigned seating to general admission to super fan assigned seating over the last three years was a bad idea. Brandon should have made the change to general admission and stuck with it IMO. Bad ideas have consequences in the corporate world so they should in Athletics as well.
Brandon has to realize the terrible optics of the situation when you say you are going to "improve communication on the sideline between the coaching staff and medical staff" and your head coach refuses to utilize a coaching tool used universally at all levels of football for the past 30 years.
We hear about how Brandon sits in on film review sessions and gets a copy of game plans from coaches. To me these are signs of an obessive AD who is micromanaging those he chose to work beneath him.
If Dave Brandon has so much control over Hoke and the football program, how come he can't get Hoke to wear a headset?
Something to remember about DB's credentials
A lot was and continues to be made about Dave Brandon's past experience as CEO of Domino's pizza.
DB and his proponents love using DB's tenure at Domino's as evidence that DB is more than qualified to run an athletic department. Hey, if he can manage an enormous international company, the athletic department must be a cakewalk, right?
No doubt, CEO of a company like Domino's is no cakewalk. But how do we know how well DB did in his role? As head of the company, DB's role was to manage the company and increase shareholder value. Put simply, a CEO's only job is to increase the stock price. Thus, we can look at Domino's stock price as an idicator of DB's success as CEO.
Dave Brandon began as CEO of Domino's in March of 1999. There is no stock price information for this point in time as Domino's was a private company. Domino's held an IPO on Tuesday, July 13th, 2004. After opening at a price of $14 per share, the stock closed the day down 50 cents at $13.50 per share (source). Expectations were for the stock to trade at $15 - $17 per share. Without getting overly complicated, this IPO reflects poorly on the CEO, and frankly, a poor showing like this is fairly uncommon.
Brandon continued in his role as CEO of Domino's until March 7th, 2010. Brandon's departure was announced on January 5th, 2010 (source). Domino's shares closed at $8.76 per share on 1/5/2010.
Thus, over the course of DB's tenure at Domino's, shareholder value decreased by over 35%. You would probably have an easier time finding a doctor to sign off on Michigan's handling of Shane Morris than to find someone who would classify DB's time at Domino's as a "success".
These facts become even more concerning when you see what new leadership was able to do for shareholder value after DB's departure.

To put it simply, DPZ has been on an absolute tear since DB's departure. The stock closed this Friday at $77.70 per share. In less than 5 years, Domino's pizza is up an astounding 787%(!) since DB's departure was announced.
Hopefully, this is proof that Dave Brandon's past experience is not all it's cracked up to be.
Also, let us all hope for a similar tragectory for Michigan football upon Dave Brandon's departure.
Go Blue!

I apologize if this can be done, I haven't been able to find it.
If I wanted to get a list of all the posts in a certain category, can I do it? Can I use "The Loop" to do this?
I'd like to use the "hack" if you will that other systems use where you make all of your posts to a "blog posts" category that gets showed on the front page, and then if I post to a "Music I'm currently listening to" category, then I only show the last one from that category on the side bar, ditto for "Last Movie I saw" etc...
Does WP handle this and how so?

Break the Hardware Upgrade Cycle with Win4Lin Windows Virtual Desktop Server
So far, all we've covered is how to get a full Windows XP desktop delivered to a Linux desktop. Although that might be suitable for many situations, there are others when users may require only a single Windows application. How can VDS be rigged to open up an application instead of a full desktop? By tweaking the Windows registry, of course. The Win4Lin VDS manual is the best place to look for current instructions on how to achieve this, but in the interests of sitting down and getting it done with just this copy of Linux Journal, now we provide steps required to deliver a single application.
Regardless of the application or the version of Windows being used, a Win4Lin registry key must be set or verified first:
Open the regedit application.
Navigate to the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon.
Ensure the Userinit variable reads exactly B:\mrgpro32.exe. If the value isn't exact, change it.
It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have users log in to Windows just to run a single application. Therefore, step one—although optional—is to set the master Windows profile to log in a user automatically. Different flavours of Windows have different provisions for allowing automatic log in.
Launch the Control Panel.
Launch the Users and Passwords applet.
Uncheck the box that reads Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer, and click OK.
When prompted, enter the user name and password of the account under which you would like Windows to launch.
Launch the Control Panel.
Launch the User Accounts category.
Click Change the way users log on/off.
Uncheck the Use the Welcome screen check box.
Click Apply Options.
Launch the alternate user account editor by clicking Start→Run and entering control userpasswords2. Click OK.
Uncheck the box that reads Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer. Click OK.
When prompted, enter the user name and password of the account under which you would like Windows to launch.
Launch the registry editor by clicking Start→Run. Type in regedit and click OK.
Navigate to HKLM\Software\Win4Lin.
Right-click in the empty right-hand pane to create a new variable.
Select String Value.
Type SingleAppStart (case-sensitive).
Double-click on the newly created SingleAppStart variable.
In the Value data: field, enter the full path to the executable to be launched. For example, to run Microsoft Word, WORD.EXE is not sufficient. The full path of C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\word.exe (or wherever your Word executable is located and named) is required.
Exit the registry editor, and you're done!
Now when users launch their clients and log in, Microsoft Word will launch onto their desktop right beside their Linux applications. This may not seem like a big deal, because the Microsoft Office suite is nicely supported by Wine and CrossOver Office, but swap out Word for absolutely any other application on your Windows desktop, and the power becomes obvious. Because a full copy of Windows is being brought to bear to deliver the application, there is an almost unlimited number of Windows applications that can be delivered in this manner with zero modification.
Virtualization technology isn't new. IBM has been playing with it since the 1960s. What's making virtualization exciting again is the widespread availability to fast networks and powerful servers. Using Linux to deliver Windows is cost effective in terms of hardware, management and training, and products such as Win4Lin Virtual Desktop Server make the technology easy to install and use. In fact, virtualization technology has come so far that the tricky points are no longer technical in nature; they are logistical. It's more difficult to plan a virtualization strategy than it is to implement one.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Try plugging the printer directly into the Mac and go back through the printer adding procedure in the Printer and Scan preference pane. If what you actually deleted was the file that is normally there the drivers are probably still present and will work. Unless you actually go into the System folder and remove the drivers all that has usually been removed are the print queue files.
The same procedure should work if you have a wireless network printer. But even with the appropriate network information entered in the printer you may have to install via USB first.Sylvester Roque Former Contributing Editor About This Particular Macintosh

I was trying to ask how to get the printer information from my Time Machine backup, so I wouldn't have to do it from scratch. I just didn't know where the file was located or what it was named. I thought that was the beauty of Time Machine.
Thanks anyway. I've got it fixed now without having to download from the manufacturer or having to hook it up via USB thank goodness. 24" iMac, 3.06GHz C2D, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 10.6.8

Quite the contrary. their onstage persona is introverted: he's lost in the music when performing and charmingly self-conscious and awkward when addressing the fans, while his bandmates – guitarist Simon Angell, bassist Mishka Stein, drummer Robbie Kuster and violinist Melanie Belair – take almost no solos, obsessed only with the collective textures that make these songs devotional whispers or stormy epics.

President George W. Bush has been criticized for his slow response to the tsunami disaster and for the "stingy" amount of U.S. government aid ($15 million) he was initially willing to offer the victims. The president has since raised that amount to $350 million, but governments of smaller and less wealthy nations have contributed much more proportionally than the United States. Bush is unimpressed by such comparisons and used the relief effort to slyly deprecate what government can do in such situations, extolling the private generosity-and thus the moral superiority-of individual Americans.
Americans are, in fact, a generous people, but the U.S. government's nonmilitary aid budget is miserly at best. Fortunately, U.S. troops took a prominent logistical role in getting the outpouring of aid from around the globe to the survivors. Even in time of war, government must perform humanitarian tasks not directly related to national security at home and abroad. Franklin D. Roosevelt, another wartime president, drew lessons from his experience that President Bush would do well to heed. In Roosevelt's last inaugural address (January 20, 1945), with victory in World War II close at hand, he was determined to broaden his countrymen's notions of the role America must play in the world. "We have learned that we cannot live alone, at peace, that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other nations far away," he...

I've been trying to get a server up and running to deploy my cloud service. Most of my operations are client ip based. When I was using godaddy, the script that returned the client's ip worked fine (php, $_SERVER variable). Now on my server, it's returning 192.168.1.1 (my router/gateway). Why is this? I'm running Apache, PHP5, Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS. I appreciate it the help in advance.
You're using hairpin NAT, which must rewrite the source IP address. If you're going to connect to an outside IP address from the inside, the source IP address will always have to be the gateway's IP address. Otherwise, the return packets would never get back to the source machine.
My advice to you is simply not to do this. If you want to connect to a local machine, use its local IP address.
This answer explains the same issue.
Here what would happen if you didn't use SNAT:
Hairpin NAT is a form of dual NAT, using both SNAT and DNAT. It cannot work without SNAT. The replies must also be NATted, which means the source has to be NATted to get the replies to the gateway.
Check with tcpdump what the packets look like that reach the server. Maybe SNAT has been activated on the gateway.
Edit 1
This refers to the case that the access is from outside the local net so that SNAT is possible but not necessary.

I regularly receive screenshots pasted into emails by users. Outlook 2010 will resize the image to fit the reading pane, as you can see in my sample screenshot below. In fact, I've obfuscated everything legible, but I've not needed to touch the embedded image, from which I can garner no useful information.
The problem is that I appear to have no easy way to either view the image at 100%, or zoom into it, or anything. I have to right click, save as, and then navigate to the folder and open it in an image previewer.
Is there some easier way to view these images? Ideally I'd like to be able to double-click on them and have a window I can pan-and-zoom them in, but I'll settle for a context menu option or similar. Any ideas?

I have an old Macbook that I'm going to be tucking in a cabinet for use as a media server. It's currently running InsomniaX to keep it from sleeping when the lid is shut.
This works great when I start the Macbook with the lid open, wait for it to boot to the desktop (automatic login is enabled), then shut the lid. It stays running. This is good.
The problem is that when I start the laptop with the lid already closed, it boots to the desktop, but the lid detection puts the machine to sleep before InsomniaX has a chance to load. (Even though it's one of the Login Items for the account.)
Is there any way, be it hackish, technical, etc. to prevent the laptop from sleeping immediately? Even if it were to spin at the desktop for 30 seconds, it would give InsomniaX time to load.

The template I used as a start for my own design places the metadata inside the header tag of the single-post.php. Is that a correct use of header, or should there only be h-tags in there? What about the post image? Could that be part of the header?
The w3 specification says that only h-tags are allowed inside of the hgroup-tag. The basic purpose of it is to group a main-headline and a sub-headline together.
edit html5 also adds the header-tag to use within the body. Inside of this any other html element is allowed. You just shouldn't confuse it with the head tag. :-)

IDF 2014: Western Digital announces new Ae HDD series for archival / cold storage
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | September 9, 2014 - 04:51 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: WDC< Western Digital, WD, idf 2014, idf, hdd, Cold, Archival, Ae
We talked about helium filled, shingled HDD's from HGST earlier today. Helium may give you reduced power demands, but at the added expensive of hermetically sealed enclosures over conventional HDD's. Shingling may give added capacity, but at the expense of being forced into specific writing methods. Now we know Western Digital's angle into archival / cold storage:
..so instead of going with higher cost newer technologies, WD is taking their consumer products and making them more robust. They are also getting rid of the conventional thinking of capacity increments and are moving to 100GB increments. The idea is that once a large company or distributor has qualified a specific HDD model on their hardware, that model will stick around for a while, but be continued at an increased capacity as platter density yields increase over time. WD has also told me that capacities may even be mixed an matched within a 20-box of drives, so long as the average capacity matches the box label. This works in the field of archival / cold storage for a few reasons:
- Archival storage systems generally do not use conventional RAID (where an entire array of matching capacity disks are spinning simultaneously). Drives are spun up and written to individually, or spun up individually to service the occasional read request. This saves power overall, and it also means the individual drives can vary in capacity with no ill effects.
- Allowing for variable capacity binning helps WD ship more usable platters/drives overall (i.e. not rejecting drives that can't meet 6TB). This should drive overall costs down.
- Increasing capacity by only a few hundred GB per drive turns into *huge* differences in cost when you scale that difference up to the number of drives you would need to handle a very large total capacity (i.e. Exabytes).
So the idea here is that WD is choosing to stick with what they do best, which they can potentially do for even cheaper than their consumer products. That said, this is really meant for enterprise use and not as a way for a home power user to save a few bucks on a half-dozen drives for their home NAS. You really need an infrastructure in place that can handle variable capacity drives seamlessly. While these drives do not employ SMR to get greater capacity, that may work out as a bonus, as writes can be performed in a way that all systems are currently compatible with (even though I suspect they will be tuned more for sequential write workloads).
Here's an illustration of this difference:
The 'old' method meant that drives on the left half of the above bell curve would have to be sold as 5TB units.
With the 'new' method, drives can be sold based on a spec closer to their actual capacity yield. For a given model, shipping capacities would increase as time goes on (top to bottom of the above graphic).
To further clarify what is meant by the term 'cold storage' - the data itself is cold, as in rarely if ever accessed:
Examples of this would be Facebook posts / images from months or years ago. That data may be rarely touched, but it needs to be accessible enough to be browsed to via the internet. The few second archival HDD spinup can handle this sort of thing, while a tape system would take far too long and would likely timeout that data request.
WD's Ae press blast after the break.
IDF 2014: HGST announces 3.2TB NVMe SSDs, shingled 10TB HDDs
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | September 9, 2014 - 02:00 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: ssd, SMR, pcie, NVMe, idf 2014, idf, hgst, hdd, 10TB
It's the first day of IDF, so it's only natural that we see a bunch of non-IDF news start pouring out :). I'll kick them off with a few announcements from HGST. First item up is their new SN100 line of PCIe SSDs:
These are NVMe capable PCIe SSDs, available from 800GB to 3.2TB capacities and in (PCI-based - not SATA) 2.5" as well as half-height PCIe cards.
Next up is an expansion of their HelioSeal (Helium filled) drive line:
Through the use of Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR), HGST can make an even bigger improvement in storage densities. This does not come completely free, as due to the way SMR writes to the disk, it is primarily meant to be a sequential write / random access read storage device. Picture roofing shingles, but for hard drives. The tracks are slightly overlapped as they are written to disk. This increases density greatly, but writting to the middle of a shingled section is not possible without potentially overwriting two shingled tracks simultaneously. Think of it as CD-RW writing, but for hard disks. This tech is primarily geared towards 'cold storage', or data that is not actively being written. Think archival data. The ability to still read that data randomly and on demand makes these drives more appealing than retrieving that same data from tape-based archival methods.
Further details on the above releases is scarce at present, but we will keep you posted on further details as they develop.
Full press blast for the SN100 after the break.
IDF 2014: Intel and Google Announce Reference Design Program, Guaranteed 2 Week AOSP Updates
Subject: Mobile | September 9, 2014 - 01:00 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: tablet, reference design program, Intel, idf 2014, idf, google, aosp, Android
During today's keynote of the Intel Developer Forum, Google and Intel jointly announced a new program aimed to ease the burden of Android deployment and speed up the operating system update adoption rates that have often plagued the ecosystem.
In today's Android market, whether we are talking about x86 or ARM-based SoC designs, the process to release a point update to the operating system is quite complicated. ODMs have to build unique operating system images for each build and each individual SKU has to pass Google Media Services (GMS). This can be cumbersome and time consuming, slowing down or preventing operating system updates from ever making it to the consumer.
With the Intel Reference Design Program, the company will provide it's partners with a single binary that allows them to choose from a pre-qualified set of components or a complete bill of materials specification. Obviously this BOM will include Intel x86 processors like Bay Trail but it should help speed up the development time of new hardware platforms. Even better, OEMs and ODMs won't have to worry about dealing with the process of passing GMS certification leaving the hardware vendor to simply release the hardware to the market.
But, an even bigger step forward, is Intel's commitment on the software side. Everyone knows how fragmented the Android OS market with just 20% of the hardware on the Play Store running Android KitKat. For devices built on the Reference Design Program, Intel is going to guarantee software updates within 2 weeks of AOSP (Android Open Source Project) updates. And, that update support will be given for two years after the release of the launch of the device.
This combination of hardware and software support from Intel to its hardware ODMs should help ignite some innovation and sales in the x86 Android market. There aren't any partners to announce support for this Reference Design Program but hopefully we'll hear about some before the end of IDF. It will be very interesting to see what ARM (and its partners) respond with. There are plenty of roadblocks holding back the quick uptake of x86 Android tablets but those companies would be blind to ignore the weight that Intel can shift when the want to.
Intel Developer Forum (IDF) 2014 Keynote Live Blog

Today is the beginning of the 2014 Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco! Join me at 9am PT for the first of our live blogs of the main Intel keynote where we will learn what direction Intel is taking on many fronts!
Server and Workstation Upgrades
Today, on the eve of the Intel Developer Forum, the company is taking the wraps off its new server and workstation class high performance processors, Xeon E5-2600 v3. Known previously by the code name Haswell-EP, the release marks the entry of the latest microarchitecture from Intel to multi-socket infrastructure. Though we don't have hardware today to offer you in-house benchmarks quite yet, the details Intel shared with me last month in Oregon are simply stunning.
Starting with the E5-2600 v3 processor overview, there are more changes in this product transition than we saw in the move from Sandy Bridge-EP to Ivy Bridge-EP. First and foremost, the v3 Xeons will be available in core counts as high as 18, with HyperThreading allowing for 36 accessible threads in a single CPU socket. A new socket, LGA2011-v3 or R3, allows the Xeon platforms to run a quad-channel DDR4 memory system, very similar to the upgrade we saw with the Haswell-E Core i7-5960X processor we reviewed just last week.
The move to a Haswell-based microarchitecture also means that the Xeon line of processors is getting AVX 2.0, known also as Haswell New Instructions, allowing for 2x the FLOPS per clock per core. It also introduces some interesting changes to Turbo Mode and power delivery we'll discuss in a bit.
Maybe the most interesting architectural change to the Haswell-EP design is per core P-states, allowing each of the up to 18 cores running on a single Xeon processor to run at independent voltages and clocks. This is something that the consumer variants of Haswell do not currently support - every cores is tied to the same P-state. It turns out that when you have up to 18 cores on a single die, this ability is crucial to supporting maximum performance on a wide array of compute workloads and to maintain power efficiency. This is also the first processor to allow independent uncore frequency scaling, giving Intel the ability to improve performance with available headroom even if the CPU cores aren't the bottleneck.

More Intel Inside Chromebooks

Intel's Atom has finally shaken the bad name that its progenitors have born as Bay Trail proves to be a great implementation of an SoC. At IDF we received a tantalizing glimpse at the next generation of SoC from Intel, the 14nm Braswell chip though little was said of their ultra low powered Cherry Trail SoC for tablets. Braswell is more than just a process shrink, Intel is working to increase their support of Chromebooks and Android by creating a 64-bit Android kernel that supports Android 4.4. This seems to have paid off as Kirk Skaugen mentioned to The Inquirer that Intel chips will be present in 20 soon to be released models, up from 4 currently.
"INTEL HAS REVEALED PLANS to launch Braswell, a more powerful successor to the Bay Trail system on a chip (SoC) line used in low-cost devices like Chromebooks and budget PCs."

IDF 2013: Products With 20Gbps Thunderbolt 2 Appear At IDF 2013
Subject: General Tech | September 15, 2013 - 06:30 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: z87, Thunderbolt 2, sonnet, Intel, idf 2013, idf, gigabyte, asus, asrock, aja, 4k
Intel recently launched its next generation Thunderbolt 2 interface, and several devices using the new connection were shown off at the Intel Developer Forum. The major takeaway from Thunderbolt 2 is the increased bandwidth and benefits to video production houses working with large uncompressed media. Specifically, Thunderbolt 2 is a PCI-Express based external interface that sends both video output and data down a single cable. Upgrades over the original 10Gbps Thunderbolt standard include an updated to the DisplayPort 1.2 video standard and double the bandwidth to 20Gbps. Thanks to the increased bandwidth, Thunderbolt 2 enables simultaneous video output and video file transfer of 4K media. Video editors can watch and transfer 4K video to an DisplayPort-equipped monitor and external RAID array respectively.
Intel is kicking off the Thunderbolt 2 standard with the launch of its DSL5520 and DSL5320 Thunderbolt 2 controllers, which are already in the hands of device manufactures. In fact, there were quite a few bits of hardware being shown off at this years IDF that already support the new Thunderbolt 2 standard. Intel is expecting even more devices in 2014.
Professional video editing and workstation hardware with Thunderbolt 2
While consumer PC hardware will be supporting Thunderbolt 2, the new interface is most beneficial to professional users and IDF was the launch pad for several high end pieces of production gear. Sonnet launched the Echo Express III external PCI-E card chassis that allows users to hook up PCI-E cards to systems via Thunderbolt 2 (for example: video capture card or fast solid state storage). Also, AJA showed off a video/audio capture box called the IO 4K that supports daisy chaining other Thunderbolt 2 devices and acts as a video capture card capable of taking in 4K and UltraHD video sources as well as high end audio inputs. Finally, PROMISE Technology showed off its Pegasus2 RAID 5 enclosure and SANLink2 Thunderbolt 2 bridge device.
External boxes are not the only professional products with Thunderbolt 2 at IDF, however. The technology is also being integrated into workstations, including the Apple Mac Pro with six Thunderbolt 2 ports and HP's new lineup of desktop workstations.
Z87 Motherboards With Thunderbolt 2
Thunderbolt 2 will also be used in consumer gear as well, including Z87 motherboards. Asus, AsRock, and Gigabyte all had motherboards on display that each featured two Thunderbolt 2 ports. The new interface will be available on the multiple boards from the manufacturers. German tech site ComputerBase.de posted several photos of Thunderbolt 2-equipped motherboards and gave a glimpse at the upcoming hardware.
The Asus Z87-Deluxe/Quad, an AsRock Z87 motherboard, and Gigabyte Z87X-UD5 TH spotted at IDF by ComputerBase.de.
Of note are the ASUS Z87-Deluxe/Quad, AsRock Extreme 11/ac, and Gigabyte Z87X-UD7 TH. All boards off LGA 1150 CPU sockets, four DDR3 DIMM slots, a slew of SATA 6Gbps ports, multiple PCI-E 3.0 x16 and x1 slots, and rich rear IO including two Thunderbolt 2 ports (naturally).
The AsRock Z87 Extreme 11/ac via ComputerBase.de.
The following chart breaks down the specifications. Unfortunately pricing and availability have not been announced for these boards, but expect to pay a premium for the high end gaming hardware and new Thunderbolt 2 controller. (The Asrock Extreme 11/ac in particular takes the word "high end" to the, well, extreme.)
|ASUS Z87-Deluxe/Quad
|AsRock Extreme 11/ac
|Gigabyte Z87X-UD7 TH
|SATA 6Gbps
|PCI-E 3.0 x16
|PCI-E 3.0 x1
|Rear IO:

|5 x analog, 1 x optical
|5 x analog, 1 x optical
|Thunderbolt 2
|Video out
|1 x HDMI
|1 x HDMI, 1 x DP
|1 x HDMI, 1 x DVI
It is promising to see so many devices this early into Thunderbolt 2's launch, and the various high end motherboard using both Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3 gives consumers the best of both worlds and access to all manner of external peripherals. The bandwidth increase is certainly welcome, and I am interested to see what sorts of new devices it enables. For now, I think Thunderbolt 2 is going to be mainly a professional (or at least "pro-sumer") technology. With that siad, 4K capture and video output is already being worked on, and I am curious to see what other applications and technologies will really be able to push the new 20Gbps interface and what trickles down to the consumer space!
Are you excited about Thunderbolt 2? Let us know what you think of the IDF-launched products and the interface technology in general in the comments below!

Orecchiette With Spinach, Roasted Red Pepper and Feta
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 20 mins
An easy vegetarian pasta dish that takes only as long as the time to make the pasta. This can be doubled easily.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 lb orecchiette
- salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed of liquid
- 3 -4 ounces roasted red peppers, chopped (use a kind packed in olive oil)
- 4 ounces feta, crumbled
- Place orecchiette in plenty of salted, boiling water and cook according to package directions (approximately 9 minutes) until al dente.
- While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil over medium heat in a saute pan and add minced garlic. Allow to cook for only about a minute (to soften). Add chopped spinach and season with salt and pepper (not too much salt, as feta will add saltiness).
- Add roasted red pepper and cook over low heat until spinach and peppers are heated through. Keep warm over a low heat until pasta is ready.
- When pasta is done cooking, add feta to the spinach mixture. Using a spider, take orecchiette from boiling water (reserving water) and add to spinach mixture on top of the feta. Toss pasta with mixture until thoroughly combined, then add pasta water (about 1/2 cup) until mixture is creamy and moistened.
- Serve immediately.
Most Helpful
Delicious. I happen to have some roasted red peppers in the freezer, so used them. I believe I'll add extra garlic next time. :)
The combination of flavor and ease of preparation makes this an easy 5 star meal. 13 yr old son, who doesn't really care for cooked spinach complained about how much this made him drool.
This one goes on the rotation.

I'm having an issue with scope and I don't know how to solve it. Here's a simple program to illustrate my problem:
public class testing {
public static void main(String args[]) {
public static int test(int x, int y) {
int answer = x + y;
return answer;
So I pass a couple parameters to the test method and I return answer, so shouldn't I be able to access the result of answer in my main method? But I can't, I get an error. What am I doing wrong? Java is telling me that I can't access answer, that the scope doesn't extend to the main method even though I put the return statement in the test method. How else can I return answer then (without passing it as a parameter)?

This show has everything a person needs from a show. It has love, action, and even comedy. Avatar, isn't like these stereotypical shows that just have random episodes time after time with no real storyline, you need to watch every episode to know what's the show is about and unless you do so you will never be able to fully comprehend how good this show really is. In the first season I tuned in the episodes week after week and was fairly impressed by them. But nearing the end of it I fell in love with the show. When the second season started the episodes were great especially the Kataang. At the end of the season though it really became tight especially with Ba Sing Se getting captured by the Fire Nation and also with Zuko betraying Iroh. I really began to develop respect for Iroh too. I can't wait for the third season to commence and hope that it isn't the last one.

For one local woman today, getting groceries was much more than a simple errand. Linda Bond's trip to the grocery store could have put her in the hospital.
Dothan police and fire rescue responded to a call just after 9 o'clock Wednesday morning involving a pick-up truck and a car that collided at Hodgesville Road and The Circle.
"A pick-up truck which was southbound on Hodgesville Road attempting to turn left was struck by a vehicle that was headed eastbound on The Circle. The pick-up truck spun around three times, apparently he [the driver] lost consciousness on impact, had his foot on the accelerator, spun three times and ended up overturned here on Hodgesville Road and The Circle," said Chief Benton
The driver of the truck, 54 year old Robert T. Smith Jr. of Dothan died at the scene.
Another 66 year old victim was treated and released. 50 year old Ichicypine Shorter of Shorterville remains hospitalized and is in fair condition. 78 year old Tom Grace of Danya, Florida remains in critical condition.
Luckily, for Bond, she breathed a sigh of relief....thankful for another day.
"I'm still a little shaky, but i'm okay, I just thank god that I got out of the way," said Bond.

Posted on 03/21/2010 5:45:58 PM PDT by Sub-Driver
President Obama Breaks Faith with Women
Statement of NOW President Terry O'Neill
March 21, 2010
The National Organization for Women is incensed that President Barack Obama agreed today to issue an executive order designed to appease a handful of anti-choice Democrats who have held up health care reform in an effort to restrict women's access to abortion. Through this order, the president has announced he will lend the weight of his office and the entire executive branch to the anti-abortion measures included in the Senate bill, which the House is now prepared to pass.
President Obama campaigned as a pro-choice president, but his actions today suggest that his commitment to reproductive health care is shaky at best. Contrary to language in the draft of the executive order and repeated assertions in the news, the Hyde Amendment is not settled law -- it is an illegitimate tack-on to an annual must-pass appropriations bill. NOW has a longstanding objection to Hyde and, in fact, was looking forward to working with this president and Congress to bring an end to these restrictions. We see now that we have our work cut out for us far beyond what we ever anticipated. The message we have received today is that it is acceptable to negotiate health care on the backs of women, and we couldn't disagree more.
A EO can be overturned at any time, don't eat the cheese the 'Rats are offering.
I think this is hilarious. They all actually think that Obama is a man of his word.
Well, Obama can't satisfy either side, it seems... LOL ...
Kabuki theater. They know "the one" will rescind the EO later
If the pro-aborts vote YES, then Stupak, along with EVERY AMERICAN, got screwed FOR LIFE!!
More nonsense.... they know as well as we do the EO has no legal effectiveness.
What nonsense. The EO has no legal standing, and I expect they coordinated their statement with the wh. All of the pro-abortion members are voting for this, which tells you just how worried they are about it. They are not worried at all.
Terry, you're just the whore of a whore. You are a political booty call that has been hung up on. Get over it.
Smokescreen outrage.
Give pro-life Stupid-pacts a chance to save face. Reverse it before he leaves office if not sooner through legal action. His Justice Dept will put up a weak fight and then O can blame the courts.
somehow I feel that this letter from NOW was ordered/sent with the White House's knowledge in an attempt to make the executive order look more serious/official. NOW knows they have a friend in the White House.
More nonsense.... they know as well as we do the EO has no legal effectiveness.
For having no legal effectiveness, some FReepers sure get excited over Obama's Executive Orders then... LOL ...
Hell, he won't even sign it.
They're not pissed off. They're just coming through on their end of Stupik's deal.
The NAGS are about as genuine and truthful as Stupak.
This is the NAGS provided a little cover to their "messiah's" ass. They know damn well this "Executive order" is a joke and a farce.
They weren't upset thru the whole Stupak effort....methinks the lady doth protest too much! (er, and so late?)
well, now this is interesting. 'rat Congressthing admits an EO CANNOT change existing law. In other words Stupak is the most useful idiot ever:
Part of the scam. They know better.
This is Obama's way of trying to look like he is "triangulating." Don't buy it.
This Stupak thing was set up from the beginning. The whole Democrat Party is evil and corrupt and they needed to be treated that way.
The good thing about all of this is anyone that has a (D) next to their name is an enemy to the United States.
Its all wink, wink.
First, you act mad, then I will act mad and then the American people will fall for it and forgive us all.
This is pure BS. It's providing Obama cover! Don't fall for this ploy. Obama signed the EO ONLY after the pro-abortion caucus green-lighted it.
Exactly. If NOW didn't complain someone might figure out the EO was bogus.
It's already been said that the EO will fall at the first legal challenge. Only question is whether O rescinds the order or allows the SC to strike it down.
They simply want people to believe they are angry in order to help maintain the illusion. They'll be pleased when he finds some compelling legal reason to drop the EO.
Yeah, right. Sorry, but not buyin' this "we're offended" bullcrap from the NAGS. They're just playing their given role in the Oba-losi Kabuki Theatre. This whole day was orchestrated weeks if not months ago.
This is all for show. Total snow job.
They like to kill, they also lie.
You have that EXACTLY right, they are covering for him. F' them, ALL of them, and I say that as a fairly moderate conservative who has never really gotten angry at the Left before. Tonight, for really the first time in my political life, I am mad as HELL.
A token statement to give cover when the EO gets shot down. "Sorry Bart, but we just found out the EO isn't legal. TeeHee, who would have thought that? Oh well, the votes already done, good luck in November."
This is further evidence that there's no appeasing leftists, even if you're Obama. So don't waste any time going down that road.
More BS to appease the pro-lifers who got the EO from Obama.
The National Organization for Women to democrats: Let us know when we can quit complaining.
All Barack Obama statements come with an expiration date. All of them. Jim Geraghty
