The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — After reviewing the great commandments given to Moses to love the Lord and his neighbor, a certain lawyer, as recorded in Luke's gospel, asked Jesus to specify whom exactly he was required to love (10:27-29). The wonderful parable of the Good Samaritan was the Savior's response.
At times I have caught myself placing artificial parameters on the questions of "Who are my neighbors?" and "Whom I am 'required' to love?" By so doing I hurt myself and clearly violate the spirit of the good news Jesus taught.
A few weeks ago I had the privilege of spending time with a fellow Norman resident (a "neighbor") I had never met. I was delighted to discover how much we have in common. We are about the same age and share many interests. We both love the community and the good, caring people who live here. We both worry about children and grandchildren and what the future holds in store for them. Health concerns are becoming more of an issue as we age.
As I anticipated the opportunity to meet my neighbor, I saw myself as a Good Samaritan taking time out of my busy life to reach out and help a wounded stranger. My neighbor is homeless and (from my limited perspective) has many needs. But the more we visited the more I realized how much this man was giving to me. Wounds I had chosen not to notice became apparent as this good neighbor poured oil onto them. My life was richly blessed and my perspective forever changed by taking some time to become acquainted with him.
How many other neighbors do I breeze past in my busy life? How many opportunities do I miss to bless others and to be blessed by them — largely because I, like the lawyer in the book of Luke, want to place limits on my social interactions?
We live in a fine community where we are surrounded by neighbors and brothers and sisters. I know I need to take more time to smell the roses and communicate with my neighbors
Technology is constantly improving — making it possible to easily communicate with others in remarkable ways. There will never be an adequate substitute, however, for paying attention to those around us in person. We can, like the priest and the Levite in the parable, choose to ignore or go around or close our eyes to the people we encounter in our daily walk. That approach would be a mistake.
If we follow the example of the Good Samaritan and walk next door and speak with our neighbor, our lives and the lives of those around us in our community will be greatly enriched.

At a public meeting held yesterday at the Half Moon Bay Yacht Club, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in partnership with , presented the initial findings and study approach of the North Half Moon Bay Shoreline Improvement Project, which seeks to provide a plan and solution to alleviating the continual beach loss and bluff erosion at Surfer's Beach in El Granada.
Peter Grenell, General Manager for San Mateo County Harbor District, and Tom Kendall, chief of the Planning branch of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers - San Francisco District gave welcoming remarks to a room full of concerned citizens as well as agency members from the San Mateo County Planning Commission, Coastal Commission, Surfrider Foundation, and more.
The three-hour meeting addressed possible causes for the erosion, steps in the planning process, and how the mitigation of shore damages can be initiated as a Continuing Authorities Program (CAP) Section 111 Project, which allots up to $5 million for reducing the erosion to a level that would exist regardless of a federal navigation project. That federal navigation project is the breakwater, otherwise referred to by locals as the jetty at Surfer's Beach, which was built in the 1960s by the Army Corps to form the harbor.
"The $5 million is the ceiling to stay within the authority to do the study, design and construction itself. It's our hope to stay within that limit. If we go beyond the authority, then it's going to take longer and may need to go back for more money," said Kendall.
Yesterday's meeting tackled the many possible contributing factors for the shore damage at the El Granada beach, including ground water, rain runoff, sediment discharge from creeks, and extreme winter storms. But after defining the problem over the past couple of years, it's become more apparent that the wave reflection off the breakwater is the biggest cause of the erosion as sand from the beach that would otherwise provide a buffer to protect the bluffs is being pulled away to the harbor, Kendall said.
"The erosion is definitely from a lot of different processes happening at the same time. Prior to the breakwater there was erosion, but the breakwater has contributed to both the beach loss and bluff erosion at Surfer's Beach by taking sand from the beach and depositing it inside the harbor," said Kendall, who credits Grenell for initially bringing the erosion problem and its possible cause — being the breakwater — to their attention.
Indeed, the major effect of putting in the breakwater is that there is more sand on the harbor side and not on the Surfer's Beach side. "But looking at moving the sand from one end of the harbor back to the beach is not going to solve the bluff problem most likely," said Kendall, who admitted that there are many possible solutions but at this point in the process are not ready to formulate alternatives.
As the non-federal sponsor, the San Mateo County Harbor District shares in the costs as prescribed in the Section 111 legislation.
New congressional authorization is not needed unless the federal funding limit is exceeded.
"If we can stay on the federal side, then the approval levels of the project will be out West, staying within that $5 million range," explains Kendall. "But if the solution we recommend is going to be more expensive than this, then we will be making trips out to Washington."
By March 14, 2011, the U.S. Army Corps hopes to initiate environmental assessment and economic analysis and receive nonfederal funding from the Harbor District.
Before the 1959-1961 construction of the outer breakwater, the bay had a stable spiral shape shoreline comprising a continuous sandy beach. Not so today. U.S. Army Corps coastal engineer Lisa Andes showed an aerial shot of the beach in 1956, depicting a sandy face of the beach, a contrast to a 2009 photo that barely registers a strip of beach.
The presentation by Andes also validated that the erosion rate along the shoreline from Pillar Point to Miramontes Point has indeed accelerated since the Army Corps built the breakwater to form the harbor. She outlined 30-day scenarios that assessed the sediment depositions and circulation patterns, showing quite a bit of sediment movement during the winter. Her study was able to calculate the changes in bed elevation and showed a lot of change and erosion along Surfer's Beach.
"When beach sand is stripped away, there is more energy to attack the beach and bluffs," Andes said.
Still, there are many steps in the initial planning process that need to happen before going into the preconstruction design phase. Army Corps planner John Dingler took the floor at the meeting and presented the six-step planning process.
Step one, defining the problems and opportunities, has been done already, he said.
"We are now in the feasibility phase, which could be a 2 to 3 year period," said Dingler.
This phase takes into account the inventory of the physical processes, gathering information and looking at external and internal factors that influence the study environment.
Next, formulating alternative plans will be on the table and from there "we'll develop the plan, evaluate it and do a comparison before selecting a plan," said Dingler. "If it's all OK by the chief engineer, we'll go into the preconstruction design phase."
Still, the last phase has to be cost effective, environmentally sound, technically feasible and socially and politically sound, said project manager Irene Lee. "Once we meet this goal, then we can move forward in a year or less."
"This is hard to achieve and takes time, so this is what we are working toward as the end result. This process is to ensure that our plan is a good plan because there are always unknown things that come up like when we built this breakwater, we didn't anticipate what would happen. We want to make sure the money is well spent and a positive outcome is what we expect," said Kendall, who adds that overall timeline for a project like this, from beginning to end, could take anywhere from four to 10 years.
In the meantime, El Granada citizens are concerned with what they've witnessed over the course of many years: accelerated erosion of the area, which in some cases is eating up two to three feet of coastline a year. Posts, guardrails, parking areas, and chunks of land are all gone along that stretch of coast, and the Highway I embankment is now being encroached upon.
One community member proposed pumping the sand from the harbor back over to Surfer's Beach and observe the effects of that over time. Another El Granada resident noted that he, too, has seen two to three feet of erosion a year — and sometimes even more — on a long-term average ever since the breakwater was built. Another person voiced her concern about how impatient the community has become with the project and wondered how long it was going to take before something is done.
"At this point, we just wanted to show you what we've done so far," said Dingler. "As we formulate alternatives, the public is welcome to participate and as we move into formulating alternative plans, there will be move opportunities to convene like this."
One member suggested that the community should come together and give input to the Army Corps process and look at integration opportunities with other agencies for funding.
Kendall concurred that the Army Corps is limited by time and funding and so the community was encouraged to find other ways to talk about the project within the parameters of Section 111 in order to keep things moving along.
"We can't put a bluff back to historical dimensions, but we can bring a beach back that would help protect the bluff," said Kendall. "We're going to make life on the bluffs a bit better, but won't be able to fully address every concern."

Not content to ruin the hopes of gamers wanting to upgrade to a Hawaii based AMD GPU now your smart devices are being press ganged into mining crypto-currency. Everything from TVs and fridges through printers, routers and security cameras can be infected with the linux.darlloz worm and will then begin mining for the author of the worm. The worm will even block other infections and has even been monitored patching certain holes in routers to prevent anything else from infecting the device and slowing down the mining computations. The Inquirer does have some humourous news about this worm, there are 31,716 separate IP addresses infected but this has manged to raise a mere $196.00 so for the author.
"A WORM that leverages the Internet of Things to mine cryptocurrencies has been found to have infected around 31,000 devices."

GDC 14: Unreal Engine 4 Launches with Radical Changes
Subject: General Tech, Shows and Expos | March 19, 2014 - 08:15 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: unreal engine 4, gdc 14, GDC, epic games
Game developers, from indie to the gigantic, can now access Unreal Engine 4 with a $19/month subscription (plus 5% of revenue from resulting sales). This is a much different model from UDK, which was free to develop games with their precompiled builds until commercial release, where an upfront fee and 25% royalty is then applied. For Unreal Engine 4, however, this $19 monthly fee also gives you full C++ source code access (which I have wondered about since the announcement that Unrealscript no longer exists).
Of course, the Unreal Engine 3-based UDK is still available (and just recently updated).
This is definitely interesting and, I believe, a response to publishers doubling-down on developing their own engines. EA has basically sworn off engines outside of their own Frostbite and Ingite technologies. Ubisoft has only announced or released three games based on Unreal Engine since 2011; Activision has announced or released seven in that time, three of which were in that first year. Epic Games has always been very friendly to smaller developers and, with the rise of the internet, it is becoming much easier for indie developers to release content through Steam or even their own website. These developers now have a "AAA" engine, which I think almost anyone would agree that Unreal Engine 4 is, with an affordable license (and full source access).
Speaking of full source access, licensees can access the engine at Epic's GitHub. While a top-five publisher might hesitate to share fixes and patches, the army of smaller developers might share and share-alike. This could lead to Unreal Engine 4 acquiring its own features rapidly. Epic highlights their Oculus VR, Linux and Steam OS, and native HTML5 initiatives but, given community support, there could be pushes into unofficial support for Mantle, TrueAudio, or other technologies. Who knows?
A sister announcement, albeit a much smaller one, is that Unreal Engine 4 is now part of NVIDIA's GameWorks initiative. This integrates various NVIDIA SDKs, such as PhysX, into the engine. The press release quote from Tim Sweeney is as follows:
Epic developed Unreal Engine 4 on NVIDIA hardware, and it looks and runs best on GeForce.
Another brief mention is that Unreal Engine 4 will have expanded support for Android.
So, if you are a game developer, check out the official Epic Games blog post at their website. You can also check their Youtube page for various videos, many of which were released today.
GDC 14: CRYENGINE To Support Mantle, AMD Gets Another Endorsement
Subject: General Tech, Shows and Expos | March 19, 2014 - 05:00 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Mantle, gdc 14, GDC, crytek, CRYENGINE
While I do not have too many details otherwise, Crytek and AMD have announced that mainline CRYENGINE will support the Mantle graphics API. CRYENGINE, by Crytek, now sits alongside Frostbite, by Dice, and Nitrous, by Oxide Games, as engines which support that alternative to DirectX and OpenGL. This comes little more than a week after their announcement of native Linux support with their popular engine.
The tape has separate draw calls!
Crytek has been "evaluating" the API for quite some time now, showing interest back at the AMD Developer Summit. Since then, they have apparently made a clear decision on it. It is also not the first time that CRYENGINE has been publicly introduced to Mantle, with Chris Robert's Star Citizen, also powered by the 4th Generation CRYENGINE, having announced support for the graphics API. Of course, there is a large gap between having a licensee do legwork to include an API and having the engine developer provide you supported builds (that would be like saying UnrealEngine 3 supports the original Wii).
Hopefully we will learn more as GDC continues.
Editor's (Ryan) Take:
As the week at GDC has gone on, AMD continues to push forward with Mantle and calls Crytek's implementation of the low level API "a huge endorsement" of the company's direction and vision for the future. Many, including myself, have considered that the pending announcement of DX12 would be a major set back for Mantle but AMD claims that is "short sited" and as more developers come into the Mantle ecosystem it is proof AMD is doing the "right thing."
Here at GDC, AMD told us they have expanded the number of beta Mantle members dramatically with plenty more applications (dozens) in waiting. Obviously this could put a lot of strain on AMD for Mantle support and maintenance but representatives assure us that the major work of building out documentation and development tools is nearly 100% behind them.
If stories like this one over at Semiaccurate are true, and that Microsoft's DirectX 12 will be nearly identical to AMD Mantle, then it makes sense that developers serious about new gaming engines can get a leg up on projects by learning Mantle today. Applying that knowledge to the DX12 API upon its release could speed up development and improve implementation efficiency. From what I am hearing from the few developers willing to even mention DX12, Mantle is much further along in its release (late beta) than DX12 is (early alpha).
AMD indeed was talking with and sharing the development of Mantle with Microsoft "every step of the way" and AMD has stated on several occasions that there were two outcomes with Mantle; it either becomes or inspires a new industry standard in game development. Even if DX12 is more or less a carbon copy of Mantle, forcing NVIDIA to implement that API style with DX12's release, AMD could potentially have the advantage of gaming performance and support between now and Microsoft's DirectX release. That could be as much as a full calendar year from reports we are getting at GDC.

If you never had the chance to play Homeworld and Homeworld 2 then there is some good news you should hear; if you did play them then the news is even better! Gearbox is not just re-releasing the two games they have redone the cinematics, models, textures and effects, plus support for up to 4K resolution. The news at Rock, Paper SHOTGUN makes it sound like some content from mods might be included as well as revamped multiplayer. Maybe they will up the quality to the point where some later levels chug just as hard as they did when you first sat down in front of your mothership.
"We learned last year that Gearbox were planning to re-release the enormously loved Homeworld games. Having plucked the license from the THQ jumble sale, apparently because their Chief Creative Officer Brian Martel has maximum love for the series, they made clear their intentions to release an HD version of the first two games. They're upping their terminology now, from "HD" to "Remastered"."

Ray Tracing is back? That's Wizard!
Subject: General Tech, Shows and Expos | March 19, 2014 - 01:20 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Imagination Technologies, gdc 14, wizard, ray tracing
The Tech Report visited Imagination Technologies' booth at GDC where they were showing off a new processor, the Wizard GPU. It is based on the PowerVR Series6XT Rogue graphics processor which is specifically designed to accelerate ray tracing performance, a topic we haven't heard much about lately. They describe the performance as capable of processing 300 million rays and 100 million dynamic triangles per second which translates to 7 to 10 rays per pixel at 720p and 30Hz or 3 to 5 rays a pixel at 1080p and 30Hz. That is not bad, though Imagination Technologies estimates movies display at a rate of 16 to 32 rays per pixel so it may be a while before we see a Ray Tracing slider under Advanced Graphics Options.
"When we visited Imagination Technologies at CES, they were showing off some intriguing hardware that augments their GPUs in order to accelerate ray-traced rendering. Ray tracing is a well-known and high-quality form of rendering that relies on the physical simulation of light rays bouncing around in a scene. Although it's been used in movies and in static scene creation, ray tracing has generally been too computationally intensive to be practical for real-time graphics and gaming. However, Imagination Tech is looking to bring ray-tracing to real-time graphics—in the mobile GPU space, no less—with its new family of Wizard GPUs."

GDC 14: WebCL 1.0 Specification is Released by Khronos
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile, Shows and Expos | March 19, 2014 - 09:03 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: WebCL, gdc 14, GDC
The Khronos Group has just ratified the standard for WebCL 1.0. The API is expected to provide a massive performance boost to web applications which are dominated by expensive functions which can be offloaded to parallel processors, such as GPUs and multi-core CPUs. Its definition also allows WebCL to communicate and share buffers between it and WebGL with an extension.
Frequent readers of the site might remember that I have a particular interest in WebCL. Based on OpenCL, it allows web apps to obtain a list of every available compute device and target it for workloads. I have personally executed tasks on an NVIDIA GeForce 670 discrete GPU and other jobs on my Intel HD 4000 iGPU, at the same time, using the WebCL prototype from Tomi Aarnio of Nokia Research. The same is true for users with multiple discrete GPUs installed in their system (even if they are not compatible with Crossfire, SLi, or are from different vendors altogether). This could be very useful for physics, AI, lighting, and other game middleware packages.
Still, browser adoption might be rocky for quite some time. Google, Mozilla, and Opera Software were each involved in the working draft. This leaves both Apple and Microsoft notably absent. Even then, I am not sure how much interest exists within Google, Mozilla, and Opera to take it from a specification to a working feature in their browsers. Some individuals have expressed more faith in WebGL compute shaders than WebCL.
Of course, that can change with just a single "killer app", library, or middleware.
I do expect some resistance from the platform holders, however. Even Google has been pushing back on OpenCL support in Android, in favor of their "Renderscript" abstraction. The performance of a graphics processor is also significant leverage for a native app. There is little, otherwise, that cannot be accomplished with Web standards except a web browser itself (and there is even some non-serious projects for that). If Microsoft can support WebGL, however, there is always hope.
The specification is available at the Khronos website.
GDC 14: EGL 1.5 Specification Released by Khronos
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile, Shows and Expos | March 19, 2014 - 09:02 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: OpenGL ES, opengl, opencl, gdc 14, GDC, EGL
The Khronos Group has also released their ratified specification for EGL 1.5. This API is at the center of data and event management between other Khronos APIs. This version increases security, interoperability between APIs, and support for many operating systems, including Android and 64-bit Linux.
The headline on the list of changes is the move that EGLImage objects makes, from the realm of extension into EGL 1.5's core functionality, giving developers a reliable method of transferring textures and renderbuffers between graphics contexts and APIs. Second on the list is the increased security around creating a graphics context, primarily designed for WebGL applications which any arbitrary website can become. Further down the list is the EGLSync object which allows further partnership between OpenGL (and OpenGL ES) and OpenCL. The GPU may not need CPU involvement when scheduling between tasks on both APIs.
During the call, the representative also wanted to mention that developers have asked them to bring EGL back to Windows. While it has not happened yet, they have announced that it is a current target.
The EGL 1.5 spec is available at the Khronos website.
GDC 14: SYCL 1.2 Provisional Spec Released by Khronos
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile, Shows and Expos | March 19, 2014 - 09:01 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: SYCL, opencl, gdc 14, GDC
To gather community feedback, the provisional specification for SYCL 1.2 has been released by The Khronos Group. SYCL extends itself upon OpenCL with the C++11 standard. This technology is built on another Khronos platform, SPIR, which allows the OpenCL C programming language to be mapped onto LLVM, with its hundreds of compatible languages (and Khronos is careful to note that they intend for anyone to make their own compatible alternative langauge).
In short, SPIR allows many languages which can compile into LLVM to take advantage of OpenCL. SYCL is the specification for creating C++11 libraries and compilers through SPIR.
As stated earlier, Khronos wants anyone to make their own compatible language:
While SYCL is one possible solution for developers, the OpenCL group encourages innovation in programming models for heterogeneous systems, either by building on top of the SPIR™ low-level intermediate representation, leveraging C++ programming techniques through SYCL, using the open source CLU libraries for prototyping, or by developing their own techniques.
SYCL 1.2 supports OpenCL 1.2 and they intend to develop it alongside OpenCL. Future releases are expected to support the latest OpenCL 2.0 specification and keep up with future developments.
The SYCL 1.2 provisional spec is available at the Khronos website.
Samsung 840 EVO 1TB SSD for $469, 750GB for $388
Subject: General Tech, Storage | March 18, 2014 - 06:58 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: ssd, Samsung, ocz, Intel, corsair
Back in January I wrote a short editorial that asked the question: "Is now the time to buy an SSD?" At that time we were looking at a combination of price drops with a lack of upcoming hardware releases. Since that published we have seen the release of the Intel 730 Series SSDs and even the new Crucial M550. While those are interesting drives to be sure (review pending on the M550), they aren't changing our opinions on the currently available, and incredibly cheap, solid state options.
While looking for some new hardware for the office, I found that the 1TB Samsung 840 EVO is now at an all time low $469! That is one of the faster SSDs on the market, and one of Allyn's favorites, for $0.469/GB!! I have included an updated table below with some of the most popular SSDs and their prices.
|Samsung 840 EVO
|$83 - Amazon
|$139 - Amazon
|$259 - Amazon
|$388 - Amazon
|$469 - Amazon
|Samsung 840 Pro
|$119 - Amazon
|$199 - Amazon
|$413 - Amazon
|Intel 530 Series
|$89 - Amazon
|$144 - Amazon
|$149 - Amazon
|$419 - Amazon
|Crucial M500 Series
|$69 - Amazon
|$119 - Amazon
|$229 - Amazon
|$439 - Amazon
The biggest price drops were seen in the higher capacity drives including, the Samsung 840 EVO 1TB and 750GB models, the Intel 530 Series 480GB drive and even the Crucial M500 960GB and 480GB drives. Numerically the best value is with the 960GB Crucial M500 drive at $0.45/GB but it is followed very closely by that 1TB Samsung 840 EVO.
As of now, the Intel 730 Series of SSDs is available for sale on Amazon.com but their price per GB comparisons don't really match that of the EVO or M500. They are great drives, just read Allyn's review to see the proof of that, but they are targeted at the very performance conscious. The Crucial M550 is brand new, and looks interesting; expect us to dive more into that line very soon.
For me personally, grabbing a 750GB SSD is incredibly enticing and I think I'll find a handful in my cart to update our older 180GB SSD test beds.

The root DNS of the internet has been run by National Telecommunications and Information Administration, a division of of the US Government though in truth they contracted out this responsibility to the non-profit Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers and their Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. This will not really change much in the way that the root DNS has handled but is more a handover of official responsibility as the US Government hands off it's past role as overseer of the internet. If ICANN and IANA are unfamiliar to you then pop over to The Register for a very brief overview of what they actually do.

GDC 14: OpenGL ES 3.1 Spec Released by Khronos Group
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile, Shows and Expos | March 17, 2014 - 09:01 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: OpenGL ES, opengl, Khronos, gdc 14, GDC
Today, day one of Game Developers Conference 2014, the Khronos Group has officially released the 3.1 specification for OpenGL ES. The main new feature, brought over from OpenGL 4, is the addition of compute shaders. This opens GPGPU functionality to mobile and embedded devices for applications developed in OpenGL ES, especially if the developer does not want to add OpenCL.
The update is backward-compatible with OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0 applications, allowing developers to add features, as available, for their existing apps. On the device side, most functionality is expected to be a driver update (in the majority of cases).
OpenGL ES, standing for OpenGL for Embedded Systems but is rarely branded as such, delivers what they consider the most important features from the graphics library to the majority of devices. The Khronos Group has been working toward merging ES with the "full" graphics library over time. The last release, OpenGL ES 3.0, was focused on becoming a direct subset of OpenGL 4.3. This release expands upon the feature-space it occupies.
OpenGL ES also forms the basis for WebGL. The current draft of WebGL 2.0 uses OpenGL ES 3.0 although that was not discussed today. I have heard murmurs (not from Khronos) about some parties pushing for compute shaders in that specification, which this announcement puts us closer to.
The new specification also adds other features, such as the ability to issue a draw without CPU intervention. You could imagine a particle simulation, for instance, that wants to draw the result after its compute shader terminates. Shading is also less rigid, where vertex and fragment shaders do not need to be explicitly linked into a program before they are used. I inquired about the possibility that compute devices could be targetted (for devices with two GPUs) and possibly load balanced, in a similar method to WebCL but no confirmation or denial was provided (although he did mention that it would be interesting for apps that fall somewhere in the middle of OpenGL ES and OpenCL).
The OpenGL ES 3.1 spec is available at the Khronos website.
An SSD Supercomputer?

We know that SSD's help any system perform better by reducing the storage bottlenecks we all experienced from hard disk drives. But how far can flash storage go in increasing performance if money is no object?? Enter the multi-million dollar world of supercomputers. Historically supercomputers have relied on the addition of more CPU cores to increase performance, but two new system projects funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) will try a different approach: obscene amounts of high-speed flash storage!
The news comes as the NSF is requesting a cool $7 billion in research money for 2015, and construction has apparently already begun on two new storage-centered supercomputers. Memory and high-speed flash storage arrays will be loaded on the Wrangler supercomputer at Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), and the Comet supercomputer at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC).
Check out the crazy numbers from the TACC's Wrangler: a combination of 120 servers, each with Haswell-based Xeon CPU's, and a total of 10 petabytes (10,000TB!) of high performance flash data storage. The NSF says the supercomputer will have 3,000 processing cores dedicated to data analysis, with flash storage layers for analytics. The Wrangler supercomputer's bandwidth is said to be 1TB/s, with 275 million IOPS! By comparison, the Comet supercomputer will have "only" 1,024 Xeon CPU cores, with a 7 petabyte high-speed flash storage array. (Come on, guys... That's like, wayyy less bytes.)
Supercomputer under construction…probably (Image credit CBS/Paramount)
The supercomputers are part of the NSF's "Extreme Digital" (XD) research program, and their current priorities are "relevant to the problems faced in computing today". Hmm, kind of makes you want to run a big muilti-SSD deathwish RAID, huh?

Mozilla Dumps "Metro" Version of Firefox
Subject: Editorial, General Tech | March 16, 2014 - 03:27 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: windows, mozilla, microsoft, Metro
If you use the Firefox browser on a PC, you are probably using its "Desktop" application. They also had a version for "Modern" Windows 8.x that could be used from the Start Screen. You probably did not use it because fewer than 1000 people per day did. This is more than four orders of magnitude smaller than the number of users for Desktop's pre-release builds.
Yup, less than one-thousandth.
Jonathan Nightingale, VP of Firefox, stated that Mozilla would not be willing to release the product without committing to its future development and support. There was not enough interest to take on that burden and it was not forecast to have a big uptake in adoption, either.
From what we can see, it's pretty flat.
Paul Thurrott of WinSupersite does not blame Mozilla for killing "Metro" Firefox. He acknowledges that they gave it a shot and did not see enough pre-release interest to warrant a product. He places some of the blame on Microsoft for the limitations it places on browsers (especially on Windows RT). In my opinion, this is just a symptom of the larger problem of Windows post-7. Hopefully, Microsoft can correct these problems and do so in a way that benefits their users (and society as a whole).
GDC 14: Valve's Steam Controller Is Similar to Dev Days
Subject: General Tech, Cases and Cooling, Shows and Expos | March 15, 2014 - 01:44 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: GDC, gdc 14, valve, Steam Controller
Two months ago, Valve presented a new prototype of their Steam Controller with a significantly changed button layout. While the overall shape and two thumbpads remained constant, the touchscreen disappeared and the face buttons more closely resembled something from an Xbox or PlayStation. Another prototype image has been released, ahead of GDC, without many changes.
Valve is still in the iteration process for its controller, however. Ten controllers will be available at GDC, each handmade. This version has been tested internally for some undisclosed amount of time, but this will be the first time that others will give their feedback since the design that was shown at CES. The big unknown is: to what level are they going to respond to feedback? Are we at the stage where it is about button sizing? Or, will it change radically - like to a two-slice toaster case with buttons inside the slots.
GDC is taking place March 17th through the 21st. The expo floor opens on the 19th.
Who wouldn't want a touchscreen enabled version of Excel?

The newest member of Microsoft's cloudy version of the world's most common productivity software is called Office 365 Personal and it will provide a single license which can be used on a PC or Mac and one tablet. The subscription will cost less than the current Office 365 Home Premium which allowed up to five devices access but only offered a version of Office dubbed Office Mobile for tablets and phones. This will not be the watered down version of Office that ships with WinRT on Surface and while The Register was provided some hints on what the new software will look like we won't be seeing any demos until closer to the launch which will take place this Spring.
"Microsoft will soon debut a new formulation of its Office 365 subscription service aimed at individual consumers, the company said on Thursday, and in the process it hinted that new, touch-centric Office apps may be coming soon."

Learn about the history of science by reading about the significant scientific events that took place on this day in history.
1997 - Max Sterne died.
Sterne was an Italian veterinarian who developed an effective vaccine against anthrax which effectively eliminated the disease. Anthrax was a serious disease that is lethal to humans and animals. It is caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis and was one of the first diseases to receive a vaccine based on Louis Pasteur's techniques. Sterne's vaccine greatly increased the effectiveness of the treatment.
1966 - NASA launched their first Saturn 1B rocket.
The Saturn 1 series of rockets would eventually become the Saturn V used to launch the Apollo missions to the moon. The 1B was the testing platform for the Apollo missions with enough power to launch the lunar lander module or command module into Earth orbit. The Saturn 1B would later launch astronauts to the Skylab space station.
1946 - Ahmed Hassan Zewail was born.
Zewail is an Egyptian-American chemist who was awarded the 1999 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his studies using ultrafast lasers to determine the dynamics of chemical bonding on the femtosecond level. (1 femtosecond is 10-15 second). His technique would pulse ultrafast bursts of coherent light that allowed him to illustrate the transitions of atoms or molecules during a chemical reaction.
1931 - Otto Wallach died.
1903 - Giulio Natta was born.
Natta was an Italian chemist who shared half the 1963 Nobel Prize for Chemistry with Karl Ziegler for their work creating polymer chains using the Zeigler-Natta catalyst. This catalyst is used to create polypropylene, one of the most common plastics in use today.
1896 - Becquerel postpones experiment and discovers radioactivity.
Antoine Henri Becquerel placed uranium and a photographic plate in a black bag into a drawer while waiting for clear weather to expose the uranium to sunlight for an experiment. When he developed the plate a couple days later, he found an image of the uranium rocks demonstrating the existence of radioactivity. This discovery would earn him the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics.
1878 - Pietro Angelo Secchi died.
Secchi was a Jesuit Italian astronomer who was a pioneer of stellar spectroscopy. He cataloged over 4,000 stellar spectral charts and created the Secchi classes of star classifications based on stellar spectra.
1866 - Herbert Henry Dow was born.
Dow was an Canadian-American chemist who discovered a process to cheaply remove bromine from natural brine solutions. He began a business to market this process and produce inexpensive bromine for industry that started an international trade war. The result of the dispute would enrich Dow and turn his business into what would become Dow Chemical Company, the third largest chemical company in the world.
1799 - Benoît Émile Clapeyron was born.
Clapeyron was a French engineer and physicist whose studies on steam engines and heat of vaporization of fluids led to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. He was the first to graphically illustrate the closed curve processes of a engine cycle on a pressure vs. volume chart. He is also known for his contributions to civil engineering through his work on static mechanics.
1616 - Galileo receives warning from Church about promoting Copernican theory.
Galileo received his official warning from Cardinal Bellarmine not to teach or defend the Copernican theory where the Earth rotates around the sun. Official Church policy followed the Bible verses where the world is firmly established and cannot be moved and the heliocentric theory of Copernicus appeared to go against the Scriptures. Galileo attempted to defend the theory and not to interperet Bible verses literally but was ordered not to hold or defend Copernicus' theory. It was the beginning of a series of problems between Galileo and the Church.

In a highly anticipated ruling, the Supreme Court ruled the federal Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional.
The 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, was signed into law by President Bill Clinton, barring federal recognition of same-sex marriages for purposes such as Social Security survivors' benefits, insurance benefits, immigration and tax filing.
Illinois' junior U.S. Senator, Republican Mark Kirk, says he supports same-sex marriage. Kirk's stance on marriage equality was announced in a blog post Tuesday.
The Illinois House could soon take up a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage. Political observers have said this vote will be a tough test for the latest effort to allow gay couples to marry. That remains the case as lawmakers prepare to consider the proposal.
On Tuesday, gay marriage advocates spoke with Illinois Republicans in Tampa. But it's not clear how their message was received.
It has been more than a year since civil unions became legal in Illinois. And in that time, more than 5,000 couples have tied the only knot available to same-sex partners. Several DeKalb couples have just celebrated their first legally-recognized anniversary.
Two county clerks want to defend Illinois' ban on gay marriage. A judge may decide whether they can Tuesday.
Pat Quinn gets behind the idea of allowing gay marriage in Illinois. The Democrat says he'll work with state lawmakers to make it a reality.
Originally published on Wed May 9, 2012 4:19 pm
In an interview with ABC News, President Obama declared his support for gay marriage. This marks a departure from the president's previous stance, which has repeatedly been described as "evolving."
Here's the money quote from ABC's OTUS blog:

Is there anything you have ever wanted to know from ? Well, this is your chance to ask.
Patch has always strived to bring its readers all types of information and keep them updated on what is happening in their communities. It is with that in mind that we bring you our newest column, "Ask Campbell PD." We will be teaming up with the Campbell Police Department to answer your questions.
Whether you have a question about certain laws and how they might affect you, your family or friends or how to stay safe in certain situations, we want you to ask them. Every week we will run two-three questions and answers. To submit a question, email email@example.com or add it in the comments section below.
This week's questions from Campbell Patch readers were answered by Campbell Police Capt. Dave Carmichael.
1. My home was recently burglarized in the middle of the day with a witness who thought the burglars were working for me. My house was locked tight and I was very surprised at their method of entry. I also have been awakened to how common such crimes are lately.
What are the statistics for burglary, theft, and (scary thought) home invasions in our area and what can we do to protect ourselves and our property better?
If something does happen, what is your advice for dealing with the aftermath?
We find that most residential burglars operate during the day when many people are out of their homes. Frequently, they will find an unlocked window or door to make entry, but we also have cases where they have used a rock, prybar, or other tool to gain access. On occasion, burglars may knock on the door to see if anybody is home before looking for a way to get into the house. When we arrest these suspects, they confirm that they wanted to make sure nobody was home before breaking in.
Many of the burglars we have arrested recently have been juveniles. Through June of 2012, we had a total of 155 burglaries including residential and commercial. Through June of 2011, we had 120 residential and commercial burglaries. This is an increase of 29 percent.
Many of our neighboring law enforcement agencies have experienced similar increases in this activity. Home invasion robberies are very rare in our area. We had 0 reported home invasion robberies in 2011 and have not had any so far in 2012.
The best way to protect yourself from residential burglary is to lock your doors and windows, particularly when you leave the house. Dogs and alarms can also serve as deterants. In addition, we strongly encourage neighbors to watch out for each other and to immediately report suspicious activity to the police. In doing so, our officers are provided with the best opportunity to catch the suspect(s).

look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3
Pours black out of a .5l bottle with no head, very little carbonation and a small amount of lacing. A sweet, malty nose and a descent mouth feel. Much lighter than expected from the nose. It has a chalky chocolate, burnt coffee bitterness, with a slight caramel aftertaste. Wouldn't seek it out, but didn't hate it.

Not so good foam. Almost black in color.
In the smell toasted, coffee, burnt coffee. More a sweet stout in the smell.
In the taste a confirm of the smell notes. Again toasted, coffee, cocoa.
Pleasant and drinkable.
Quite thin body, good drinkability.
Again coffee and cocoa notes in the aftertaste, with a hint of roots.

3.2/5 rDev -8%
look: 3 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 4
The liquid is black with a red-brown edge. The finger thick head is warm brown and compact. Some lacing occurs.
The smell is malty and heavily roasted with notes of pumpernickel, some anonymous bitterness, clean sweet hints and a light sourness.
The taste is very smooth. Light notes of creamy, roasted malt: Coffee, liquorice, burned toasted bread. Some very mild bitter notes. The body is very thin. The aftertaste is light and roasted with some vegetables and coffee in the background, as well as some clean bitter flavours.
The carbonation is medium to low; the few bubbles are medium sized. The liquid is a bit watery, but at the same time very smooth.
A little too weak for me - still an OK Irish-style stout.

In some ways though the beer that was sat down in front of me was much like an espresso, very dark with a slight ruby tinge and head the colour of the foam on top of a good espresso.
The beer smelt fabulous, full of coffee and chocolate, with wonderful smoky depths to it.
As you would expect with a stout it was rather bitter, tasting of full roasted coffee, but nice and smooth going down.
Serving type: on-tap

text: ETFs started out as a good idea, and for some investors, in their most transparent form, they remain so. But, as so often in the financial services industry, a tangled web of complexity has rapidly developed. What was once a straight-forward means of gaining access to a market has turned into a minefield for investors and one which, as UBS discovered in the middle of the night last week, has the potential to become the next toxic scandal.

For me sundays are all about listening to chilled out music while doing some stuff around the house.
This 11 minute track came out on bass player Buster Williams' 1976 record called Crystal Reflections but Vibrations has really has Roy Ayers written all over it, he composed it and played vibes and arp string ensemble on it. I'll never say it enough: Roy Ayers is a musical genius and is criminally underrated.
Hip-hop heads might also recognize it as the source for Big L's "Put It On" produced by Buckwild (video below)
There is a shitty sounding 6 minute version of the track on youtube but I took the time to rip the record to share the dope 11 minute version with you all. Also make sure you check out the video below which is a live performance of "Vibrations" shot in Kansas of all places…

Police responded to the Windsor Regency Apartment complex after a couple called 911 at 12:46 a.m. on Dec. 27 to report that someone had burglarized their apartment while they were sleeping.
The female resident told police she woke up to observe a stranger in her bedroom. She roused her boyfriend, who said he awoke just as the burglar – described only as a "male with a red jacket" – fled the bedroom and exited the apartment by way of a rear sliding door.
The incident remains under investigation.

Driving While Intoxicated / Traffic Accident
Scott Glazer, 24, of Holly Drive, East Windsor, was arrested by Officer Ryan Ballard about 5:55 p.m. on Jan. 1 and charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, careless driving and following too closely after the vehicle Glazer was operating struck a police car from behind in the area of One Mile Road and Dutch Neck Road.
Upon being questioned by police, Glazer explained that he had taken prescription narcotics belonging to another person. After Glazer was given field sobriety tests, he was arrested for DWI and later released pending court action. There were no injuries reported in the collision.

Responding police officers arrived to find that Pernice's vehicle had struck a traffic signal pole, causing it to fall to the ground, and, several hundred feet prior to that, had struck another vehicle from behind. Pernice was observed to have an odor of an alcoholic beverage and bloodshot, watery eyes. After he was given field sobriety tests, he arrested for DWI. He was later released pending court action. There were no injuries reported in the accident.

Resisting Arrest
Marco Cadena, 21, of Jefferson Drive, East Windsor, was arrested about 12:10 a.m. on Jan. 1 and charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and obstructing justice after police officers responded to a complaint about a fight "involving multiple participants" at the American Legion post on Route 130.
When officers arrived, witnesses pointed them toward Cadena, who "began fleeing on foot." Cadena continued to run away from officers despite being ordered to halt. He was eventually caught and arrested by Officer David Oleksy. Cadena was later released pending court action.

The MTP nurses follow the same protocols and utilize the same skills as the flight team.
Patients transported are primarily acutely ill adults who need specialty services provided by Stanford Hospital & Clinics. Some of these patients need the support of ventilators, medicines and infusions, intra-aortic balloon pumps, ventricular assist devices, and other high-tech devices to ensure that they are transported safely.
