Benchmarking ARM Tablets, Smart-Phones
Published on 17 November 2010 01:47 PM EST

When writing this morning about
what's going on with Iveland and OpenBenchmarking.org
, one of the recent items being worked on in this area completely escaped my mind: the mobile benchmarking improvements. Time and money (new hardware) has been spent in providing greater automated testing and performance benchmarking of the Phoronix Test Suite on ARM-based mobile devices.
For a year now there has been
mobile Phoronix Test Suite support
with Palm's WebOS and their phones along with other ARM-based devices that support Optware. There's also been some work done on the Android front, etc. Not all of the 130+ Phoronix Test Suite test profiles are supported on the ARM architecture and the stripped back hardware capabilities of current tablets and mobile devices, but there's a number of test profiles and suites that will run just fine.
With all of the recent attention though to ARM hardware on Linux by Linaro and other projects, along with a number of vendors asking about the Phoronix Test Suite on ARM, with Iveland there will be greater testing support and ARM-specific suites. Ångström Linux (the unified effort by the OpenZaurus, OpenEmbedded, and OpenSIMpad projects) also now has external dependencies support with the 3.0 release. The Phoronix Test Suite 3.0 release was even running on the
Excito B3
(a Swedish low-powered ARM NAS/server).
Some of the most recent ARM hardware on the shopping list has been an Android tablet from Archos and the Nokia N900 smart-phone. With the N900 I'm in the process of bringing up the Phoronix Test Suite under Maemo 5, MeeGo 1.1 for the N900, and Easy Debian. The process has gone quite smoothly, aside from the MeeGo 1.1 N900 experience itself being quite poor.
This means there are also going to be some Nokia N900 benchmarks looking at different aspects of the system. I also hope to do a GCC vs. LLVM/Clang compiler comparison with this ARMv7 processor similar to the
GCC, LLVM Clang, DragonEgg comparison
done recently with the Intel Core i7 Gulftown, among other articles. Well, that is assuming
I don't overheat another ARM device

How does Britney Spears spend her court-approved time with her kids? By chandelier shopping, y'all! Them things is sparkly! Looky them little ding-dangly rainbows all over there!
TMZ caught the popwreck going to Crystal Place in the Valley yesterday, leaving her two kids in her car with the court-required monitor while she shopped for lighting. Hmm... part-time babysitter probably isn't part of the woman's job.
Cameras swarmed Brit as she made her way into the store, and she seemed fed up with some of the attention on her way out -- yelling at one photog for getting too close to her car. Wouldn't want another dent on that thing!
it is unbelievable what a nitwit this girl is... LEAVING HER KIDS IN THE CAR WITH THE MONITOR...????!!?!?! When she has so much to lose? Idiot. Unfit mother. No doubt about it.
You know, there is some islamic extremist in a cave somewhere in Pakastain plotting a campaign against us becuase of our good ol' Ameircan Pop Culture at it's finest. Thanks Britney!
she is an idiot. how much more proof do people need that she simply does not care about her kids? those kids are better off with kevin at this point. bottom line is that even if that lady is the monitor and court appointed she is still a STRANGER. ANY good mother would NOT leave her kids alone with a stranger like that. but of course, she is not a mother. she just gave her birth to them. giving birth does not make you a mother per se.
Her stupidity is just astounding. She gets what 20 hrs a week with her kids and she dumps them on the court monitor to go shopping. Boggles the mind. I'm sure the judge will be real impresssed.
A definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. But, in her case, insanity is too flattering a word; substitute it for SELFISH or STUPID or....too many apply; those poor kids.
This girl does not even need to be with her children at all! I refrained from that opinion until this story. I know that if I only had limited visitation with my children NOTHING, no matter how sparkly, would distract me! She has obviously had some real meltdown that is just getting worse and worse. I believe that if she does not wake up and realize she needs help she will not be around in five to ten years.......at least not without a prison uniform!
That's it. I used to love coming to this site, but I am so bored by all of the lame Britney Spears stories. TMZ.com has become TMZzzzzzz.com. Thanks, but not thanks.
Is she ever goning to learn? Can you imagine the stories these kids will have to tell when they get older??? Some people seem to never get how important kids are and that they should come first in your life......She has never taken her role as a mother serious and do not feel she ever will....
Stupid IS as STUPID does...............
Britney YOU are TOTALLY STUPID and CLUELESS.........
Hope the court appointed monitor has enough lead in her pencil! Write it down, write ALL down! Britney NOTHING, ABSOLUTLY NOTHING, will get through that enbrd head of yours. Take them away................NOW! I believe that is what she wants. Quoting here; Those are really cute mistakes............You need to be spayed like a dog!
*sigh* She needs to spend some quality time with her boys. Putting them in a car, driving around, shopping and subjecting them to the paparazzi crush/madness wouldn't seem to be a good decision.
Who's more pathetic the papz or you morons? I'm sure the monitor told Britney not to take the kids out of the car with all those violent jerks.

ROME (AP) — The leader of the party that kept Silvio Berlusconi in power insists he won't support any election alliance to put Italian Premier Mario Monti back in office in voting early next year.
Roberto Maroni, Northern League leader, was quoted as saying Saturday that he told Berlusconi that any support for Monti would be ''impossible.'' Monti was appointed a year ago to replace Berlusconi, amid financial market turmoil. Berlusconi says he's running to regain the premiership but that he could step aside if Monti runs himself.
The Northern League refused to back Monti's government. Maroni said the League could support any run by Berlusconi's political heir, Angelino Alfano. Voter surveys find sagging support for Berlusconi's conservatives. Elections are expected in February. Monti hasn't said if he will run.

I also very much like Vista, once you figure out how to turn off the annoying UAC. I think the problem a lot of people running XP will have to wrestle with in deciding whether or not to upgrade is whether or not their hardware will run Windows 7 well. Although 7 isn't the memory hog that Vista is, most people running XP probably still do not have the hardware needed to run Windows 7. Despite the improvements, Windows is still likely to choke with only 1-2 GB of memory and an older, slower processor.
It's funny how people view software differently. KenB hates Office 2007, yet I love it. I guess that is because I use Word 2007 and Excel 2007 exclusively - I don't need all the other stuff in it. I swore off Outlook ages ago and my databases are far simpler than what many people here use.

Federal prosecutors say 47-year-old Mai Nhu Nguyen was indicted by a grand jury on Wednesday on three counts of solicitation of a bribe by a public official.
Prosecutors say Nguyen took 200 egg rolls from a citizenship applicant and received $1,000 and $2,200 bribes from two other immigrants since 2011.
Nguyen worked as an officer for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in Santa Ana where she reviewed immigrants applications for benefits.
Nguyen was arrested on June 6 and released on a $20,000 bond. She is set to be arraigned July 1.

Waiting for root device means the machine cannot access the boot drive, probably means your USB ports are not recognised by OSX, try burning to a disk.
That used to work when we did not have a decent bootloader.
Take a look at this post: http://www.insanelym...o/#entry1888177
Edit the disk and partition number according to your system, and restore the Extra folder before trying.

New Site. New Book!
on November 27, 2012 at 7:00 amI know I have some explaining to do around here to many fans who have supported me and Chickenhare from the beginning way back on 2006 when it was first published. I'll do my best to shed as much light as I can on this topic in the weeks to come promise, but for now, I just want to give a big thanks you to everyone who helped make this possible.
Dark Horse was a great home for 6 years and I have nothing but respect and appreciation for them there. That said, it has been a dream of mine since college to have a book published with Scholastic so when the opportunity arose to see Chickenhare brought to life in full color under the Graphix imprint I didn't even need to think about it.
This new version of Book 1 not only comes in full color, but it also clearly sports a new cover design, a new logo treatment and some new pages salt and peppered throughout to help spice up the deal for my loyal fans who already have copies of the black and white version. Pre-orders are ready to go NOW! Here are some links…

2004 Dry Creek Valley Syrah
The old saying "he who waits wins" is true. Patience pays. As a varietal, Syrah has been my least favorite. Our 2002 Palindrome Vineyard Syrah was purchased and praised by both the Wine Enthusiast and The Wall Street Journal but even their acclaim did not change my opinion. David would simply shrug and say "time will tell…you'll see". I waited.
Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew is the perfect metaphor for the David's wisdom in regards to making this temperamental vintage. He pursued it, wooed it and then to my amazement, laid it down to purr for nine years. I can't describe the deadpan look on his face when he presented me a bottle ten days ago. Let's just say his eyes said "Gotcha", and the 2004 Syrah had me at hello.
Here are David's descriptors': Lively undercurrents of dark cherries, meaty, herbal and floral notes, black pepper spice. Smooth, subdued tannins and lengthy finish." Enjoy with wild game, blue veined cheeses, lightly- smoked fowl. Make a date to celebrate this long awaited triumph now.
$40.00 per bottle, $432.00 per case or $216.00 for a six pack plus tax and shipping. Minimum 2 bottle order for mail shipments.
2011 Yoakim Bridge Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel
The 2011 Zinfandel will always be remembered by us as "the wedding wine". It was harvested while celebrating my son's wedding the weekend of October 1, 2011. In fact, David arrived 45 minutes late to the rehearsal dinner, exhausted and a bit "purple" from pitching the jealous grapes. We were celebrating love, hope and enduring commitment. The 2011 vintage is the gift to all of us from our old vines: love in a glass. Raise one along with us, TO LIFE!
David's tasting notes: "bright raspberry, strawberry fruit, soft tannins and sweet French oak". Pair with your favorite American comfort food: roast turkey, juicy hamburgers, and hardy pasta. This is a beautiful, engaging wine. Enjoy it now or lay it down for another five years.
$38.00 per bottle, $456.00 per case or $228.00 for a six pack plus tax and shipping. Minimum 2 bottle order for mail shipments.
2010 Yoakim Bridge Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel
Many of you to whom we have spoken with in the tasting room have heard about the difficulties every grower faced during the frustrating 2010 vintage…AND its' glories. It was LEDGENDARY!
Late June rains, (a FIRST in our 18 years here) decimated the young clusters directly or through the rapid spread of powdery mildew. Our large, head-trained canopies were especially vulnerable. Leaves were pulled to expose the tender clusters to sunlight and circulating wind in an effort to dry them out. Unfortunately, three days after the rains the temperature rose to a record 108 degrees, frying the exposed, unhardened fruit. Ton after ton simply fell to the ground. We wound up with four tons of fruit, which is ONE THIRD of our typical yield.
Now: the good news. This unique, concentrated Zinfandel is full of distinct raspberry fruit with a score to settle. The white pepper notes are bright and engaging. The wine was difficult to vinify, and is ever so slightly, off-dry. It will dance with steaming bowl of lobster bisque, rich Southern- shrimp dishes and knock a California Dungeness Crab Louie out of the park!
Please be patient and give this particular vintage six more months in bottle to discover what we already know to be an engaging and utterly delicious Zinfandel. Due to the extremely rare vintage, we will not be pouring this wine in the tasting room and it will not be discounted.
$38.00 per bottle, $456.00 per case or $228.00 for a six pack plus tax and shipping. Minimum 2 bottle order for mail shipments.
2009 Yoakim Bridge Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel
The 2009 growing season was less extreme than the previous summer but more on the cold side, until September, of course. We were all expecting an amazing Indian summer with it's extended "hang time" to convert our slowly ripening fruit into full maturity. Such was not the case. The inevitable occurred, a dreaded mid-September rain that sent Sonoma County growers into a tailspin. Our Zinfandel clusters were incredibly large and tight. Myself, and three trusted friends immediately fanned out through the old vines to cut the "ears" or "wings" off of every cluster, separating the bunches to encourage air circulation in the canopy to impede the burgeoning mildew and rot. We dropped close to three tons of fruit to the ground. We were successful, but felt convinced that the additional sugar gain was not worth the risk as the prediction for rain became more certain. We picked the Zinfandel on September 19. Toasty, sweet cereal aromas wafting from the newly crushed fruit convinced me that the seeds were indeed, brown and mature. A good start!
I would call this vintage a well-bodied Zinfandel, fruitful with undertones of rose and perfume. It was aged for eleven months on mostly American and some Hungarian oak. I think you will detect some spiciness from the latter. You will love it! Last week it accompanied a family dinner of braised lamb shanks atop a bed of polenta spiked with Danish fontina cheese. It was superb. Give it a try!
$36.00 per bottle, $388.80 per case or $216.00 for a six pack plus tax and shipping. Minimum 2 bottle order for mail shipments.
2008 Yoakim Bridge Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel
This full bodied, fruity wine is drinking beautifully right now! Its' dark berry fruit is a great contrast to the bright red-berry fruit of the 2010 Zinfandel. It is especially delicious with smoke laced meats, savory Italian cuisine, and authentic Mexican dishes. It will still go a distance in the bottle should you wish to cellar it for several years.
$36.00 per bottle, $388.80 per case or $216.00 for a six pack plus tax and shipping. Minimum 2 bottle order for mail shipments.
2009 Dry Creek Valley Petite Syrah
This soft but rich and gutsy Petite Syrah is from the same bench vineyard in Dry Creek, Wolcott Ranch, as our highly acclaimed 2008 vintage.
The 2009 is a brilliant deep purple and is often associated with the color of black currant fruit. We tasted the wine for the first time this week since being bottled in September, 2011. The subtle balance between the tannins and the cassis-like fruit was impressive. Six months or so of additional bottle aging should lengthen the finish considerably. We used 35% new oak to age this formidable wine. We are looking forward to enjoying this with lamb, smoke laced beef, game and strong cheese.
In the tasting room I am often asked to explain the difference between Syrah and Petite Syrah. Petite Syrah does, in fact, have somewhat smaller berries as its' name suggests. It is, however, its' own varietal, a hybrid of the Peloursin and Syrah grape crossed in 1880 in California. The fruit is meaty, tannic and always produces a dark blackberry hue. It was the "blender" of choice for many generations and only recently has become much appreciated for its' uniqueness and depth of flavor. Careful racking and final filtering are required to insure its' brilliance and clarity.
$36.00 per bottle, $388.80 per case or $216.00 for a six pack plus tax and shipping. Minimum 2 bottle order for mail shipments. 293 Cases/ 14.5 % Alc.
2009 Dry Creek Valley Syrah
This Provencal clone is somewhat drier than the Petite Syrah. ( We do not blend it with Viognier, a white grape, as is so often the custom in southern France.) This young Syrah has a surprising bouquet of boysenberry, a purple red hue and a rich sweet-tart flavor. We've enjoyed it with mildly spiced curried lamb, pheasant stew and wild mushroom risotto.
$36.00 per bottle, $388.80 per case or $216.00 for a six pack plus tax and shipping. Minimum 2 bottle order for mail shipments. 293 Cases/ 14.5 % Alc.
2009 Dry Creek Valley Cuvee
This new release has everything going for it! It is over 90% Stromberg Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, blended with small amounts of Gallaway Merlot and Dry Creek Valley Petite Syrah. Sound familiar? With the exception of the year, the blend is identical to the 2007 Cuvee, a solid all time favorite.
We picked the 2009 Stromberg Cabernet in advance of a six-inch rainfall hoping to avoid the off flavors and fermentation nightmare often accompanying botrytis infected fruit. We are delighted with the cranberry bouquet and slightly lower alcohol of 13.7 %. This young wine will mature beautifully in the next two years, or can be enjoyed now after decanting. We pair it with triple cream cheeses, savory beef, earthy mushrooms. The more butter in the sauce, the better!!
$40.00 per bottle, $432.00 per case or $216.00 for a six pack plus tax and shipping. Minimum 2 bottle order for mail shipments.
2008 Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Stromberg Vineyard
Our Stromberg Cabernet is grown in the higher elevations above Wallace Creek, a Dry Creek sub-appelation. The vineyard sits in a west-facing bowl that is studded with large valley oaks. Early on, in 2002, David chose the rows between two of these oaks ( row 86-124) as our future fruit. We were familiar with the vineyard having used its fruit as a blender in both Zinfandel and several Cuvee's. Many of you have enjoyed the first designated vintage of 100 % Cabernet Sauvignon from this vineyard, the 2004. The wine is alive with rich cranberry notes, overlays of subtle black pepper and the slightest hint of oak. It will cross the finish line beautifully when served with a carefully prepared steak.
$46.00 per bottle, $496.80 per case or $276.00 for a six pack plus tax and shipping. Minimum 2 bottle order for mail shipments. 318 Cases/ 14 % Alc.
2007 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Atlas Peak, Haystack MountainThis is the very first time we have ever succumbed to the DARK SIDE. It's a little four- letter word, NAPA. As Dry Creek Vintners, we always hear tourists mention that Cabernet Sauvignon is quite famous OVER THERE. So, over there we went. What a trip!
These grapes grew in the sub-appellation of Atlas Peak on Haystack Mountain, an amphitheatre reminding us of ancient Rome. The price of the grapes and effort to make the wine was high, but we decided that the experiment would be worth it. We find it muscular and austere, with a typical Cabernet nose of bell pepper, mint and light red cherries. It was aged on new and two-year old French oak, which is readably detectable. Enjoy NOW, or hold for another TWO YEARS.
$46.00 per bottle, $496.80 per case or $276.00 for a six pack plus tax and shipping. Minimum 2 bottle order for mail shipments.

Signal Mountain opened the 2012 season with back-to-back losses.
The Eagles weren't going to do it again.
With big James McClellan chugging, the Eagles kept plugging and overcame three lost fumbles in scoring territory for a 49-28 victory over visiting Tyner.
"James is a big ol' powerful back, and we run him a bunch," Signal coach Bill Price said after his club evened its record at 1-1.
McClellan, who picked up 155 yards on 32 carries in a two-point loss to East Hamilton last week, turned it up a notch against the Rams. The 6-foot-2, 260-pounder ran for 199 yards on 26 carries and scored once.
"He sets up our offense because people have to respect the middle, and, of course, the offensive line deserves a lot of credit," Price said.
The senior, even at 260 pounds, broke off a 70-yard run that was likely the difference in the game.
"That was probably the one that broke our back," Tyner coach Wayne Turner said. "We had just scored to make it 21-14 and had them backed up on a third-and-long and he breaks that 70-yard run. We knew coming in that he was a load, but you let him get started and he's a runaway truck, and their offensive line does a good job blocking for him."
Six players scored touchdowns for Signal, including a pair from junior runner Hunter Van Dyken, who finished with 74 yards on six carries. Also getting in on the scoring were other running backs Diamez Franklin and Skye Wilson, receiver John Ryan Wilson (30-yard pass from Jack Teter) and defensive back Chris Feemster (14-yard interception return).
Tyner, which rushed for 138 yards, unveiled Haasan Miller and a relatively strong passing game that accounted for 182 yards. Miller scored one and passed for two. Rodney Watson, on the receiving end of one of those scores, finished the night with 113 yards on six catches.
"We made a lot of mistakes -- just killed ourselves on offense. We played well defensively, but only at times," Turner said.
Price was glad to get the win, especially after his club lost three fumbles.
"Wasn't happy about that at all," he said. "But we're a week better than last week."

An 11,000-Year-Old Dog Tumor
23 January 2014 2:00 pm
A sexually transmitted cancer has been spreading from dog to dog for as long as 11,000 years, according to a new analysis. And today, each case of the cancer—known as canine transmissible venereal tumor (CTVT)—still retains genetic signatures of its very first host. That's giving researchers a glimpse of the biology of the earliest domesticated dogs and insight into how a cancer can evolve over such long time periods.
"This is definitely exciting," says cancer geneticist Elaine Ostrander of the U.S. National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, who was not involved in the research. "Dogs have propagated and babysat and taken care of this cell line for thousands of years, and now we have an opportunity to study it."
In 2006, researchers discovered that, unlike most cancers, CTVT doesn't arise from mutations in an individual animal; rather, it spreads from dog to dog, primarily among feral dog populations in tropical climates. During sex between dogs, cancer cells sloughed by one animal jump to its mate, where they begin forming a new tumor, most often on the genitals. In most cases, chemotherapy is effective, but that's not true of the only other known transmissible cancer: devil facial tumor disease (DFTD), which is ravaging Tasmanian devils in Australia. DFTD—spread when the ferocious animals bite each other—kills Tasmanian devils within months and has caused the population to decline by 70%. Research into CTVT, scientists hope, will lead to ways to stop or slow the spread of DFTD.
The 2006 CTVT study showed, based on the genetic differences between a handful of tumors, that the cancer had been jumping between animals for at least 200 years—but possibly much longer. Now that more advanced genetic technology is available, geneticist Elizabeth Murchison of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom wanted a more specific timeline for the emergence of the cancer. So she and her colleagues sequenced the genomes of two CTVTs, collected from dogs in Australia and Brazil. They found that—compared with the normal dog genome—the cancer contains more than 2 million mutations, far more than any known human cancer. "I was surprised by the sheer number of mutations that we found," Murchison says. "One in two genes carries a mutation that changes the protein it encodes."
Using previous knowledge about the average mutation rate per year for certain genes, the scientists were able to deduce that the cancer has been in existence for an estimated 11,368 years, they report online today in Science. They were also able to pinpoint genes that originated in the first host of the cancer, when it likely arose through mutations. The genes of this original dog, they concluded, suggest that it had short, dark fur and a body that resembled today's Alaskan malamutes. Genetics couldn't determine whether the dog was a male or female, or where it lived, but its genome did show signs of inbreeding, a potential clue as to how the tumor got started.
"If this dog was inbred, maybe it was in a very inbred overall population," Murchison says. "If so, that may have been an environment which was especially conducive for the emergence of a transmissible cancer."
Most cancers can't spread between individuals because the potential recipient's immune system detects that the cancer cells are foreign and kills them. In inbred populations, that may not be the case because individuals are more similar genetically, allowing a cancer to become transmissible. Once the tumor had evolved within multiple, similar hosts, it may have developed genetic mutations that allowed it to thrive in an even broader population, Murchison says. The tumor likely didn't spread from an isolated population to the rest of the world until about 500 years ago, her team found.
The new research "sets the stage for future work on what properties of the tumors and of the hosts let these cancers propagate," Ostrander says. Although there are no instances of transmissible tumors in humans today, understanding how they emerge could help ensure it remains that way, she says.

There was never a time I did not know I was adopted. In fact, there was never a time I did not feel different, not-quite-right, and not altogether like those around me. I have always felt like I was the outcast, the mixed mutt..the runt... the one who got chosen to live among strangers not because I was wanted, but because someone had to choose me, otherwise I'd be put down or left to die, whichever created less stir for the public.
I was born in 1968 in Newfoundland, Canada, a hot-spot for infertile Americans in want of a healthy white newborn who was "orphaned" by its unmarried and "unfit" mother. I was not born an American; I was manufactured to become one.
As an adult, I learned the facts surrounding my adoption story were nowhere near the "facts" my adoptive mother told me about my adoption history.
Since 1995, the month of November has been designated as Adoption Awareness Month. We at Pound Pup Legacy try to contribute to this commemoration, by raising awareness for abuse in adoptive homes, disrupted adoptions, violated parental rights, child trafficking for adoption, and other horrors in adoption.
The start of Adoption Awareness Month also means the announcement of the recipient of the Demons of Adoption Award. Started in 2007, as a critique on the Congressional Angels in Adoption AwardsTM, the Demons of Adoption Awards have become an annual tradition, continued now for seven years in a row.
In September we asked our readers to nominate candidates, and many worthy contenders were added. In October we launched a ballot to collect the votes for each nominee. From the start, it was a very close race between two nominees: Raymond Godwin et al., and Children in Families First (CHIFF) - with the remaining entries trailing far behind.
There is great irony to the candidacy of adoption attorney Raymond W Godwin and his wife, director of Nightlight Christian Adoption in South Carolina, Laura Beauvais-Godwin. In 2010, the current President of The Heritage Foundation and at the time Senator of South Carolina, Jim DeMint, awarded the Godwins for a Congressional Angel in AdoptionTM.
The Angels in Adoption have never been awarded with much scrutiny into candidates. Silly, but otherwise benign, was the award by then Senator of Kansas Sam Brownback for his "precious wife" Mary Brownback, with whom he had adopted a child from Guatemala and one from China.
Much more seriously, Jerry Sandusky received an award out of the hands of Rick Santorum, a decision that needed to be reverted back in 2011, when it became clear Sandusky had molested several boys, including his own adopted son.
Senator Chuck Grassley, awarded Damien and Allonna Stovall with an Angel in AdoptionTM, in 2012. Six months later, the couple was charged with beating their adopted children with belts and wooden spoons, although those charges were later dropped.
In 2007, Representative Patrick Murphy determined an award should be given to Steven G. Dubin, whom at the time was under investigation for fraudulent adoption practices, and whose membership of the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys was suspended, only three months after being lauded as an Angel in Adoption. Dubin was eventually disbarred in the State of Pennsylvania, October 31, 2012.
In 2005, convicted criminal, Representative William Jefferson, nominated one of his cronies Renee Gill Pratt, and a year later, Senator Johnny Isakson awarded Faith Allen, the former "savior" of Masha Allen, who abandoned her adopted daughter in Washington DC, the day after the Angel in Adoption gala.
That same year, Senator Orrin Hatch nominated Larry S Jenkins, a Utah attorney, who is involved in nearly every father's rights violation case over the last 10 years.
When it comes to using laws to lure women into relinquishing children out of state, without notifying fathers, Larry S. Jenkins has found his match. Raymond Godwin has figured out that the adoption statutes of South Carolina make such unsavory inter-state adoptions about as easy as they are in Utah.
Raymond Godwin and his wife Laura have been involved in two of the most contentious adoptions of 2013, known as the baby Veronica case and the baby Deseray case. Both cases revolve around interstate adoptions of Native American children from Oklahoma to South Carolina.
The baby Veronica case has been all over the news, especially since the case went all the way up to the Supreme Court of the United States, where a verdict was rendered in favor of the adoptive couple Matt and Melanie Capobianco.
Late September, the Capobiacos, at the time assisted by another of Jim DeMint's Angels in Adoption, attorney James Fletcher Thompson, were able to remove Veronica from the home of her father Dusten Brown, with whom she had lived the last two years.
The case of baby Deseray is just as interesting, although it lacks the sensationalism of going all the way up to the Supreme Court. In this case, Godwin originally cooperated with Angel in Adoption Mike Yeksavich, an attorney from Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Bado & Bado - a couple of adoption attorneys from Edmond, Oklahoma, who were publicly reprimanded for unethical practices by the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys - to place the child with Bobby and Diane Bixler, a couple in their 60s, of Irmo, South Carolina.
Baby Deseray was removed from Oklahoma without properly filing the Interstate Custody for the Placement of Children (ICPC) paperwork. As a result, Mike Yeksavich removed himself from the case, and subsequently attempted to halt the adoption of the baby to the Bixlers and demanded her return.
Four months after the removal of Baby Deseray, the Oklahoma administrator for the Interstate Custody for the Placement of Children (ICPC) applications, and Angel in Adoption, Michael A. Nomura, approved the paperwork for the child's adoptive parents, after the Bixlers had retained attorney Paul E. Swain, who sits on the board of Nomura's agency Heritage Family Services, Inc.
The Baby Deseray case is still in motion. At this time of writing, the girl is in temporary foster care, pending emergency litigation.
No matter how we look at these cases, what we see are multiple placements of the same children, all because an adoption attorney endeavors in, to put it mildly, legally adventurous practices.
Raymond Godwin, may have stayed strictly within the law, with the Baby Veronica case. While there may be difference of opinion on that particular issue, it is indisputable that the trajectory he chose for these two adoptions was legally complex, making it very possible that the adoptions would be contested.
Knowingly starting an adoption procedure that can reasonably be expected to be contested, is immoral. Adoption, when practiced, should increase a child's stability in life, not lower it. Raymond Godwin and his wife Laura knowingly created a situation that was potentially disruptive, and ended up actually being disruptive for two children. For that, they deserve to be recognized as Demons of Adoption.
We would like to thank all our readers for their nominations and for their votes, and it is our hope that the Demons of Adoption Award brings to light the more serious adoption issues that still need to be addressed throughout the year, not just during November, America's National Adoption Month.
As a believer in God, and follower of Jesus, I have always found the rationale for adoption given by practicing Christians both amusing and hypocritical. I could never understand how God would "want" man to separate mother and child, simply because a society ruled by misogynists say an unwed pregnancy is unlawful. After all, when Mary found herself pregnant without a husband, at no point was she "counseled" by adoption facilitators and told it was in the best interest for the unborn child to be relinquished, and given to council-approved strangers, while she was to act as if the pregnancy never took place. Instead, Mary, the only mother of Jesus, was told to have faith; she was told support would be provided, through the assistance of a benefactor. That benefactor would be a man named Joseph, a man who would provide for Mary and her child, for 13 years. It should be noted, at no point during Jesus's time on earth did he ever claim Joseph was his father. Instead, Jesus (and Mary) recognized God as his only father.
Late last week, Senator Mary Landrieu launched the latest initiative of the adoption lobby in congress, with the introduction of The Children In Families First Act of 2013.
The bill is intended to counteract the decline in inter-country since 2004, a trend that has many prospective adopters worried and cuts heavily into the revenues of adoption service providers.
The inter-country adoption lobby has been in full blown panic over this decline for several years now.
Already in 2009, a legislative attempt was made to curb the downward trend by means of the Families for Orphans Act. This effort failed miserably, but now the adoption lobby has regrouped with new blood and fresh money.
A comprehensive history of inter-country adoption has thus far not been written. Some adoption websites give a brief summary of the history of inter-country adoption, and there are several books trying to do the same, but a thorough study into the origins of inter-country adoption is still awaiting scholarly initiative.
In the book Intercountry Adoption: A Multinational Perspective, by Howard Alfstein and Rita James, the following is said about the history of inter-country adoption:
Earlier this year a study was published, analyzing the European Union's reversal in approach towards inter-country adoption from Romania since 2007.
The study sheds some interesting light on the motivations behind this radical shift and serves as a warning when it comes to the politicization of child protection.
Initially we wanted to write a review about this fascinating, albeit very dense study.
However, while researching the topic of the Romanian adoptions early 1990s, we felt compelled to write about a subject only touched upon in this study: the political influence of adoptive parents.
We will use the Romanian adoption crisis as a backdrop for this article, although it should be noted that similar patterns emerged around adoptions from Vietnam, Guatemala, and Ethiopia in more recent times.
This week, Adoptionland has been in turmoil over the publication of a series of articles by Reuters and NBC-news.
The articles portray the drain of the adoption system, the practice of informal re-homing of adoptees who are no longer wanted by their forever family.
Just like it is with every abuse case and every trafficking case found in Adoptionland, the mouth pieces of the adoption industry are quick and ready to down play the situation. The good name of adoption MUST be preserved, at all cost, even if doing so leads to more abuse, more disruptions, more dissolutions, and more child trafficking for adoption purposes.
Letter #1: I read this thread http://poundpuplegacy.org/node/45548#comment-25698 (several times). I feel that I have to chime in, as I find myself in a position I never thought I would find myself in. I have no help, no one to turn to, only a few close friends to hear me out. It has been a downhill roller coaster ride for awhile now.
Today I read an article featuring yet another Reality Show that will help promote the adoption agenda. Yay...because we don't have enough shows that exploit the unfortunate and the ignorant.
Personally, I am against any program that promotes the breaking of families, all so an adoption plan can become a reality.
I do, however, strongly support programs that promote the helping and mentoring of others, all without some sort of trade-agreement.
Yesterday, we added yet another case of abuse in adoptive families, where the adopted children were subjected to disciplinarian cruelty. The case in question involves three children adopted from foster care by John and Carolyn Jackson, a devout Christian home schooling couple, at the time living at Picatinny Arsenal Installation, New Jersey.
After having added nearly 600 cases of abuse in child placement, some desensitization has kicked in. When we first started our archives every case was new and different, but with case 598 things have become eerily familiar.
Does the case involve infants or toddlers? Check! Was the child adopted less than 6 months ago? Check! Did the child suffer head trauma? Check! Did the parents claim the child fell down the stairs? Check! Did the coroner conclude the head trauma could not be self-inflicted? Check!
The latest fatality of an adoptee from Russia was all over the news the past few days. The Russian media are heavily focused on this case, while the American press mostly reprinted the same Associated Press article in all major news papers and news sites.
The case of Max Shatto (Maxim Kuzmin) raises many questions, the most prominent of which: why has the US Department of State not reacted to this case before Russian authorities did?
For months Adoptionland has been in a frenzy about Russia's decision to ban adoptions to the United States. Prior to that decision, promises were made by the US Department of State to improve monitoring of Russian adoptions. The case of Max Shatto shows once more, the US Department of State to date is not capable of properly monitoring adoptions from Russia, and any promise to do so can not be kept or guaranteed.
The other day an AP pointed out a comment made on an adoption forum. The comment written by Kevin Kruetner, active adoption forum participant and AP, urged other APs to sign a rather sloppy petition to the President asking for post-adoption support for adoptees with Reactive Attachment Disorder. His rationale to support the proposal revolved around his own experience seeing other APs with adopted children "suffering with this disorder". As if that limited exposure to troubled ad
Last week the US Department of State released its annual report on inter-country adoption for fiscal year 2012.
For the 8th consecutive year, the number of inter-country adoptions showed a decline, albeit a smaller one than the year before.
The decline of inter-country adoptions in 2012 is all the more remarkable since China, the largest exporter of adoptable children, (which corners almost one third of the market), showed a slight increase of the number of children sent to the United States.
Recently, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), a government-funded group of independent experts, addressed a comprehensive review of the available data on ways to detect maltreatment of children.
An AP sent me a link to check-out and read. She warned me: "get your barf bucked ready".
The December 10th piece, An Adoptive Parent Won't Take the Blame, written by Motherlode blogger, (Jessica O'Dwyer ), featured on The New York Times, ends with the following conclusion:

On The Very Best of WCW Nitro DVD: "The Very Best of Nitro, from what I know right now, is the second-best selling DVD in the last 3 years. So what does that tell you? The new people are getting to see it, the new WWE nation that had never seen that stuff, because it's timeless. When I first got the script for The Very Best of Nitro, I didn't call them back and Michael Calabrese, the producer, what a great guy he is. They sent me that script and he called me up and he goes, 'Hey D, did you get the script? What did you think?' I said, 'I don't think you want me to do this,' and he goes, 'What do you mean?' I go, 'I wouldn't say a lot of the things in here,' and he said, 'Well, what do you mean?' I said, 'Michael, I understand that history is written by the winners and I get that you guys won the war, so you can say what you want to say but we kicked your ass for almost two years. I was there. It was David and Goliath and we killed you in the ratings, so I'm not going to backhand compliment WCW ever. Did we make mistakes? Hell yeah, and I'll talk about that, but I'm not going to act like it never happened. I'm just not going to do that; you should get someone else to do that.' He said, 'Well, what are the things you're talking about?' I went, 'Boom, boom, boom' and he went, 'No problem, change it.' I was like, 'Really?' He said, 'Yeah man, we want this to be good.' I was like, 'OK, cool.'
On his rising popularity in WCW: "I remember wrestling on Monday night in Panama City, and that was the first time those kids were chanting DDP so loud and I had just started my feud with Scott and Kevin. It was just starting to take off and when I walked back through the curtain again, Hulk's there. He goes, 'Do you know how hard that is? It's starting to happen.' Hulk Hogan over periods of time would tell me different things, and that was one of them. He said, 'It's so hard to get them to chant your name like that, but once you got that, you got something big. It was an awesome ride."
On whether he was ever contacted by McMahon about jumping to the WWE during the Monday Night Wars: "No, he would never do that. Anybody who said he did, I would really tend not to believe that because Vince was not going to get in that potential lawsuit. Vince is way too smart for that on so many levels. But Steve Austin had called me once after a match I had with I can't remember who; I want to say it was Hogan. He said, 'How the hell did you bring that match out of him?' Because there's never been any love lost with Hulk and Steve. But they got respect of course, how could they not? But Austin had said, 'If you ever want to come on up here, it'd be a pretty easy trip for you.' It was like that. Maybe they thought because of my affiliation with Bischoff and all that stuff, I never would've left."
On his WWE run: "I always saw myself working a WrestleMania. There was no question. The run that I had, which really was like four months in the WWE; it wasn't great. But my opening day was great. My opening day was humongous. And then WrestleMania was pretty much my closing card. I did one Raw after that, but that WrestleMania 18 match that I had with Christian, that was a hell of a match. And then being able to show up now and getting that reaction; hitting that Cutter and getting that pop, I literally can fade off into the sunset very easily. Bottom line is, it was what it was and it was a great ride."

125 years of copse monument history a new experience
In 1877 the foundation-stone was laid for the copse monument which was finished in 1883. This patriotic monument drew a lot of tourists who are brought at that time with a rack railway and today with a cabin cable railway to the monument high lying about the town. The tourism removed increasingly the ship journey as a source of income.

A Texas woman who discovered an egg the size of a baseball in her chicken coop was even more surprised by what she found when she cracked it open: another full egg.
Cookie Smith of Abilene found what she calls the "mutant super egg" in her three-hen, two-nest coop earlier this week.
"I just died laughing when I saw it," she said. "I brought it in to show (husband) Leonard, and he just said, 'Bless her heart.'"
It was an inch longer and three times heavier than a normal egg. Smith initially took pictures of the egg and showed photos to her co-workers at an Abilene hospital.
"One of the doctors said he's nearly 80 years old and he'd never seen anything like it," she said.
She cracked it open only after an Abilene Reporter-News photographer accompanied her home. When she cracked open the enormous egg, inside was a large yolk -- and another intact normal-sized egg.
Smith said the eggs may have been OK to eat, but she opted to pass.
According to a web video by the National History Museum in the United Kingdom, such a "double egg" is relatively rare.
One forms when "unusual contractions" force a developing egg traveling down an oviduct back into the ovary. There, it is surrounded by another egg, with the concentric eggs being delivered as one.

Antitrust market definition using statistical learning techniques and consumer characteristics
Market definition is the first step in an antitrust case and relies on empirical evidence of substitution patterns. Cross-price elasticity estimates are preferred evidence for studying substitution patterns, due to advances in IO econometric modelling. However, the data and time requirements of these models weigh against their universal adoption for market definition purposes. These practical constraints — and the need for a greater variety of evidence — lead practitioners to rely on a larger set of less sophisticated tools for market definition. The paper proposes an addition to the existing toolkit, namely an analysis of consumer characteristics for market definition purposes. The paper shows how cluster analysis can be used to identify meaningful groups of substitutes on the basis of homogeneity of their consumer profiles. Cluster analysis enforces consistency, while recent bootstrap techniques ensure robust conclusions. To illustrate the tool, the paper relies on data from a recently concluded radio merger in South Africa.Download Info
