Great work! Look forward to your "modern" sample.

Topic: Bokeh comparison 24-70 f/2.8 vs 24-105 f/4 (Read 26361 times)
- Guest
My bokeh tests are online, here:
* keeping camera-to-background distance constant:
Great work. It's really useful for me, who don't have the energy and time to do such detailed tests. I can't thank you enough for this.
Due to the vast information of your setup, the spot diameter on the background can be calculated and compared with the related visually result. The camera-to-background test is the one I am interested in as this simulates most sport scenarios.
At first I was surprised with the contrasting results of the 90mm @2.8 and 135mm @2.8
I wrongly assumed that you used an FF camera, which would have given the following results :
90mm @2.8 : spot diameter 1.96mm , spot diameter with an infinite background distance : 2.92mm
135mm @2.8 : spot diameter 2.21mm , spot diameter with an infinite background distance : 4.38mm
With an FF camera, in your scenario, the 135mm would blur the background more than the 90mm
Using a Canon APS-C camera, which I think it is what you have used in the test ( at least I hope so ! ) :
90mm @2.8 : spot diameter 0.91mm , spot diameter with an infinite background distance : 1.88mm
135mm @2.8 : spot diameter 0.65mm , spot diameter with an infinite background distance : 2.82mm
With APS-C, it's the 90mm which blurs the background more, and match with your visual results.
At enough background distance, the 135mm will always give more blurring.
Visually the spot diameter of 0.91mm produce a much better result than the 0.65mm. From my previous test (very rough estimates), I concluded that a 0.60mm - 0.70mm should give an acceptable blur, but one would still recognise what's in the background. The 0.91mm results in an unrecognised backgound (at least for me)
This shows why the big lenses in sports are so important. The 400 5.6 would produce some acceptable results, but won't achieve the unrecognised background blurring even when used on FF for a 2m hight subject. On the other hand, with a portrait orientation, or with a tight crop, this could be achieved.
Thanks again for sharing your work.

yes, it's an APS-C camera (a 550D; I think it's said in the main page, but not in the pages with results)

yes, it's an APS-C camera (a 550D; I think it's said in the main page, but not in the pages with results)
went through your 4 result pages, but I skipped the main page. Still there was a hint in the result page too, since you are using the ef-s lens, and said that it is the 550D kit lens. Don't know why I assumed an FF camera

Alabama Crimson Tide offensive coordinator Jim McElwain was reportedly interested in the Memphis Tigers job before taking his name out of the running at the last minute. Now, McElwain has removed himself from Fresno St. Bulldogs contention, according to Tidesports, after interviewing Friday for the job.
According to the Sacramento Bee, that leaves Oakland Raiders assistant Kelly Skipper as the primary candidate, who was also reportedly interviewed heading into the weekend.
McElwain reportedly turned down the job with his former employer over concerns about Fresno State's athletics budget, which likely would've been a concern at Memphis as well. He'll return to coach for one of the richest programs in the land. How much of Fresno State's financial decline can be attributed to waning support in the latter Pat Hill years is hard to say.
Before coaching at Alabama, McElwain was Hill's offensive coordinator in 2007. He's also coached with the Radiers, as is the thing to do.

Intro to Finding Court Cases
First, you need to know what court(s) handled the case in question. The Federal court system consists of:
Supreme Court
13 Courts of Appeal
94 District Courts
Each state has its own judicial system, usually including a state Supreme Court.
Each court decides which of its decisions will be published.
- The US Supreme Court publishes all decisions
- Appeals Courts publish many decisions
- ...the lower you go in the hierarchy, the fewer decisions are published. Trial courts and county courts - you may have to go to the court itself or the county itself for decisions.
Published decisions: use Lexis-Nexis Academic ("Look up a legal case")
Besides the decisions, major documents in Supreme Court cases may be published; see:
- Lexis-Nexis Academic (click on US Legal on the left sidebar > Supreme Court briefs)
- Oyez (Chicago-Kent College of Law)
- UCB Library Federal Government Information web page on the Supreme Court/Judiciary
Documents for other courts are much harder to access, and usually require an in-person visit to access the documents. The UCB Law Library has databases that may include this information but these databases are often restricted to current law students.

oai4courts layer two is intended to be a "working" schema adequate to represent most caselaw metadata using OAI-PMH. The approaches taken will also be useful to other caselaw-metadata efforts (for example, metadata that is embedded in case files themselves). Its place in the overall plan for developing the oai4courts metadata standard is documented here.

NEW ORLEANS -- Power outages, flooding, intense heat, and now mountains of trash. The latest ripple effect of Hurricane Isaac is being smelled all across the City of New Orleans.
City crews are trying to play catch up now that the storm has passed.
"I live six blocks away and I can smell it walking up off Napoleon," said Veronica Mansell, bar manager at New York Pizza.
The garbage cans are on the verge of overflowing outside the Uptown business. Two power outages are why the trash is piled so high.
"We had to clean out our entire kitchen. So we've been throwing things out all week," said Mansell, who believes the smell is keeping customers craving a slice of pizza or a cold drink on the patio, far away.
"It's been a little troublesome. I mean everyone has to deal with it and everyone is working hard. We understand that, but it's beginning to really affect business," said Mansell.
"They are picking up the trash but you gotta put it out. If you leave it in the yard or the alley, they're not going to come in and get it," Interim New Orleans City Council District B representative Diana Bajoie said during a news conference on Wednesday afternoon.
The city of New Orleans says garbage pick up is currently a day to a day-and-a-half behind because of Hurricane Isaac. Crews are working 16-hour shifts to pick up trash and storm debris.
"If you were scheduled to have a pick up and they haven't come, please leave your garbage out there. If you have had your first pass, please bring your cans back in and put them back out when it's time for your regular collection day," said Deputy Mayor of Operations Michelle Thomas.
While crews work extra hours to pick up what's waiting curbside, one business hopes it will be the next stop.
"Flies are piling up. It's time for it to be picked up," said Mansell.
So far, the city of New Orleans says crews have hauled away nearly 10,000 cubic yards of debris. The goal is to be caught up with trash collection by this Sunday, Sept. 9.

People and Places of the World
Carlo Zande
Piola Restaurant proudly presents Carlo Zande's first exhibition, "Nomad: People and Places of the World," a photographic compilation of world images through the artist's eye. From the plains of Africa to the rural fields of Ecuador, "Nomad" brings the distant corners of the planet to you. In keeping with Carlo's spirit of international charity, all sales of this exhibition will benefit the charitable organization "Sharing is Caring". "Nomad" will be in residence at Piola Restaurant in Miami Brickell from Thursday November 4th through February 2011. Travelling extensively, the artist was captivated by the natural beauty he encountered everywhere. He trekked the sand dunes of Africa and braved the frigid fields of Iceland. Moved by the beauty he encountered abroad, he was motivated to capture these images and bring them home, but the image is neither about the person nor the place, it is a representation of the essence of the moment. That single space in time that captures the spirit of the being in their own surroundings. You sense the faith of a Buddhist monk catching intermittent sunbeams while studying his prayer book. You feel the warmth of the sunshine on an Ecuadorian peasants back, as he walks the fields on his way home after a long day's work. You rejoice with a Himba child of Namibia, as he dances with innocent glee, toward his rustic hut. The artist's talent lies not in sharing the image but rather in sharing the experience. Carrying charitable donations from friends, family and co-workers, Carlo visits schools, orphanages and city streets, sharing these gifts with those he encounters, so fulfilling the philosophy of leaving the world a little better than you find it. In keeping with this concept, all profits from this exhibition will benefit "Sharing is Caring", a charity organization that aims to provide assistance to needy children across the USA. For more images and information on the artist's work, visit www.carlozande.com. See the world through the nomad's eyes at Piola Miami Brickell restaurant. Piola is an Italian based pizzeria-restaurant chain. It has locations in 6 Countries: Italy, USA, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Mexico. Its locations in the USA include New York, Miami Beach, Hallandale Beach and Washington DC. Piola serves the most authentic and simple Italian food in an open, contemporary and friendly-to-all environment.

Sasha DiGiulian takes 1st overall at the 2011 IFSC World ChampionshipsWed, 27/07/2011 - 16:32 — Petzl America -...
A storied locale set in a green valley and surrounded by rocky outcroppings, Arco, Italy, this year hosted thousands of climbers and fans from around the world for the International Federation of Sport Climbing's crowning competition, the Climbing World Championships. The 18-year-old climber from Virginia Sasha DiGiulian took first place overall.
Sasha DiGiulian took first place overall at the 2011 IFSC Climbing World Championships in Arco, Italy.
Sasha competed in the 2011 World Championships in four categories: Bouldering, Lead, Speed, and Duel. She placed second in the Bouldering event, though she did not train specifically for bouldering prior to the event, third in the Duel (a head-to-head, timed lead-climbing competition), and eighth in lead. Her performance was enough to net her a first-place finish overall – an unusual accomplishment for an American in this very international event with a very strong field of competitors.
Q&A with Sasha about the 2011 World Championships:
Can you give a few thoughts on each event?
Bouldering – my first IFSC- sanctioned boulder event! The bouldering here in Europe is much more technically and gymnastically oriented than in the US (problems in the US can sometimes can just be big moves between holds). I think that the European style of setting for bouldering suits me better, because I'm short and often get shut down by long, dynamic moves.
Lead – I wish that our finals route yielded more separation.
Duel – the top 16 lead competitors "dueled" it out on a sport climb. In the Duel Competition, we were presented with two identical routes running parallel to each other, graded approximately 7c or 7c+ (5.13a). We had to lead the route as quickly as possible, trying to beat out the opposing competitor. It was a process of elimination, and the fastest one up the wall advanced to the next round. I came in third! This was a very fun and new style of competition to experience. It was especially exciting to watch the final round of the men, as Adam Ondra and Thomas Tauporn rapidly dueled it out, leading to Ondra's victory.
Is it true you didn't train specifically for bouldering?
This is true, but in my opinion any form of climbing is training. I was training lead for Chamonix and for the lead element of Arco specifically. I've always both bouldered and done routes. I typically have more fun sport climbing, but I enjoy bouldering as well… I just have never competed internationally in a boulder event before.

You placed 8th in the Lead competition, but really you were one of seven women who tied for second place. Can you explain how that happened?
In finals, unfortunately, the route setting was not so great and I was stuck in the seven-way tie for second place, behind Angela Eiter, who put forth an impressive performance and earned a deserving victory. Finals were upsetting and frustrating to me because the tie was broken by count-backs to semifinals, and in my opinion, finals should be the decisive placement factor, not earlier rounds. When seven people tie at the exact same place on a route, clearly the route setting needed some adjustment. The problem was that up until a double-dyno a little above mid-way up the wall, the route was not very hard. Everyone arrived at the double-dyno, but only Angela Eiter managed to stick the move by creatively climbing feet-first and figuring out a static way to maneuver the long move.
Was competing in Arco differently psychologically than any other events you've competed in?
Psychologically, I prepare for every competition generally the same way – I try to go into the event with the mindset of enjoying the moment and putting forth my personal best effort. The main difference with Arco was that the competition lasted for 10 days. By the end of it, I was (am) ready to relax and just hang out for a little. I'm on my way now, though, to Imst, Austria, for another competition at the Adidas Rockstars Event. It should be a fun show and I'm excited to represent my new sponsor at the event!
Have you spent much time in Europe?
Yes, I spent almost 3 months climbing in Europe last summer. The adult international competitions are quite new to me though – I have competed in the youth worlds since I was of eligible age (youth B category), but other than that, prior to this summer, my time spent in Europe was primarily spent climbing outside.
What did you think about Italian culture in general, and Arco in particular?
Italian culture is quite relaxed and laid back. In Italy, the food is amazing and, for the most part, I found the people very friendly. Arco was a really fun town to host the World Championships because it has so much climbing history.
Did anyone from your family make it out to Arco?
My mom.
What do you think you'll remember for the longest about this competition in Arco?
Hanging out with my friends and walking around the town full of climbers and pictures in relation to the event. It was cool to see climbing on such a mainstream stage.
Were you competing against anyone in particular at the World Championships, or were you mostly competing with yourself?
Competing against myself. That is the way you have to approach every competition in my opinion, because you can only control your own performance – not anyone else's. Going into a competition I always just aim to be happy with my performance.
What were you most proud of in this competition. Was there anything you feel you could have done better?
There's always going to be little things that you wish you did better in a competition, at least for me, even if I win. There's always a sequence, a clip, or a move that could have been perfected. I think that I am most proud of trying my best in each event and enjoying the competition as a whole. There was no point where I felt like I let my frustrations get me down or affect my climbing.
Anything else you'd like to say or comment on about this event?
Thank you to the organizers of the event, the crowd for the support, and the fellow athletes who were competing. It was a truly enjoyable experience that I will cherish for a long time.

Potential off-field distractions? Bengals RB Cedric Benson knows plenty about the subject. However, he's been focused on his job throughout the season, Bengals RBs coach Jim Anderson told PFW this week.
"He's handled it very well," Anderson said of Benson dealing with the various distractions that have arisen this season. The Bengals' longtime RB coach noted, "You can tell he loves football, because when he comes to practice, he works hard."
Benson served a brief prison sentence before the season after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor assault charge in connection with an incident at an Austin, Texas, bar last year. Also, he has appealed a potential three-game NFL suspension related to the league's personal-conduct policy. He has also reportedly filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board against the NFL Players Association after the NFLPA, according to multiple media outlets, agreed to allow him and seven other players to be subject to league discipline because of off-field incidents that occurred during the lockout. All of the players, including Benson, had been involved in off-field incidents previously, according to reports.
Benson has been the Bengals' featured back for four seasons, averaging 20.3 carries in 44 games. Benson's backup, Bernard Scott, has flashed playmaking ability in three seasons, but carries have been scarce playing behind the starter. Moreover, third-string RB Brian Leonard gets a good deal of work on passing downs.
However, the Bengals want to get Scott more carries, Anderson said, telling PFW that the club needs to be "getting him more involved in what we do" on offense. Asked if offensive coordinator Jay Gruden, head coach Marvin Lewis and the coaching staff were on the same page regarding Scott becoming a bigger part of the offense, Anderson said, "I think that's an accurate statement. And that's why he's here."
In 32 career games, Scott has had received 10 or more carries only four times — and only once when Benson wasn't out of the game or out of the lineup completely because of injury. Through three games this season, Scott has eight carries for 23 yards.
Anderson said Scott not getting more work to this point isn't a matter of him having to earn it. "He's earned the right," Anderson said. However, game situations have prevented Scott from getting more work.
"It's like you want to, but it doesn't happen," Anderson said.
Should Benson miss any time, Scott surely would have an increased workload, with Leonard and fourth-string RB Cedric Peerman also being bumped up a spot on the depth chart.

The jury has deliberated and the verdict is in: Edward Daniels, the man whose dogs attacked and killed 7 year old Tyler Jett in April, has been found guilty of manslaughter.
The two day trial tugged on the heartstrings of many and, now, there's possible closure for one family who's suffered unimaginable heartbreak.
"The defendant is guilty as charged of Manslaughter," the clerk read aloud.
For Edward and Crystal Daniels, their son goes to jail; facing the consequences for the brutal dog attack of neighbor, Tyler Jett.
During the two day trial, Assistant State Attorney, Larry Basford sought to prove Daniels guilty of culpable negligence for not properly restraining his two bulldogs, MJ and Fat Boy, despite several complaints they had escaped their enclosure and were being aggressive.
"These two dogs, they mauled and mangled and murdered a little boy that belonged to [Daniels]. They were dangerous and everybody knew were dangerous. He would have you believe that he didn't. You can't stick your head in the sand and avoid responsibility," said Basford.
The Defense's Kevin Carlisle said neighbors never told his client about their encounters and accused the State of using too much emotion to influence the jury's judgment.
"The personal details that were brought out, that Tyler had coco puffs for breakfast, that Brandy didn't get to waive bye to him on the bus, that he earned a green sticker at school, those are not going to help you make any decisions in this case," he said.
Ultimately, the prosecution persevered; Tyler's family feeling justice had been served, but nothing fills the void.
"They will get their son back. We will never have Tyler. We will never be able to hold him and kiss him and love him and see him after school. They will have the chance to write him and talk to him on the phone," said family friend, Kathryn Phillips.
Tyler's mother, Brandy Wilhite, is perhaps a small step closer to closure.
"I mean it'll never bring him back, but its justice for Tyler," she said.
Daniels was found not guilty for the charge of tampering with evidence.
He will be sentenced October 14th.
***Updated from earlier story***
Assistant State Attorney Larry Basford told jurors in his opening statement Wednesday that Edwards knew or should have known that his dogs, Fat Boy and MJ, posed a danger to the people in his Kelly Court neighborhood.
On April 2, those dogs, one a pit bull the other a bulldog, attacked and killed Tyler Austin Jett in Tyler's front yard after chasing another boy through the neighborhood.
Five days earlier, the two dogs had escaped Edwards' yard and threatened several neighbors, many of whom reported the incident to Edwards and told him to restrain his dogs. Edwards was cited by Animal Control that day for his dogs being unrestrained and aggressive.
Basford said there had been earlier instances of the dogs escaping Edwards' yard, but he'd done nothing more than "half-hearted" attempts at repairing a "dilapidated" fence.
"He's not charged with murder. He's not charged with intentionally setting those dogs on Tyler Jett," Basford said of Edwards. "Tyler's death was caused by the culpable negligence of the defendant."
Edwards faces up to 15 years in prison when Circuit Judge James Fensom sentences him Oct. 14.

Seems like we can't go two days around here without more Scream 4 news and Wes Craven has been relentlessly pushing the film, most recently through his Twitter account with a series of signed poster giveaways based on Scream trivia. Though things seemed to have calmed down a bit since the end of the trivia competition, Scream 4 is still one of the biggest upcoming horror releases, slated for April 2011.
Scream is, in my estimation, a really solid film, so the pressure was on for the filmmakers with Scream 2, doubly so considering the original's reliance on and breakdown of horror movie cliches. While I wouldn't say they knocked it out of the park, not by any means, Scream 2 does remain a halfway decent film in it's own right that doesn't bastardize the original. The kids from Woodsboro are making the tough transition from high school to college and dealing with a movie based on the events from Scream. Yes folks, there's a movie version of the events in the first movie. The original was kinda meta, but that just ups the ante. But it's a cool idea and a fairly logical progression of events. While it's firmly rooted in the 90s, Scream 2 is still pretty enjoyable.
Demons, directed by Lamberto Bava
The fact of the matter is, the Italians just do horror films like no one else, and Demons is certainly no exception. Directed by Lamberto Bava, the son of famed director Mario Bava, with a screenplay from Dario Argento, Demons is a wild ride taking place almost entirely inside a movie theater. Trapped inside the theater, a small group bands together to fight off ravenous demons. Did I mention one of the survivors is a pimp? Seriously. He has some of the best lines in the whole film. A sequence from the film was even used to create one of the Don't Talk segments that the Drafthouse plays before each film. Featuring plenty of awesomely gore-soaked scenes and a supremely over-the-top ending, Demons is a lot of fun to watch.
The Crazies, directed by George Romero
Romero's 1973 film about a town that plays unwitting host to a plague and the military forces that are called in to contain the infection. While it's a great concept, The Crazies meanders around and focuses far too much on the military leaders dealing with the problem and it's effect on their conscience. The recent remake makes the wise choice to focus more on the people and the infection, while Romero's original is a rather bland, talky affair that squanders some truly great scenes. The opening scene where a man burns down his home with his family inside is still pretty creepy, but most of the scenes with the infected after that have a strange tone that's hard to decipher.
One of the biggest problems with the film is the musical choices. Military songs, twangy banjo country and even When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again at one point, the music, like the film itself, is all over the place, contributing to the strange tone and making for a muddled mess. I feel like there's a great movie in there somewhere but it didn't make it on the screen, at least not in '73.

The Supportive Housing Program (SHP) is a federal grant program authorized by the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987. It was designed as part of the Continuum of Care strategy, to promote the development of housing and supportive services to assist homeless persons in the transition from streets and shelters to permanent housing and maximum self-sufficiency.
Each year the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announces its competitive homeless assistance programs including SHP. The Department of Housing and Community Development supports the activities of the Regional Continuum of Care Council (RCCC) by providing regional leadership in the coordination of the federal SHP application.
The RCCC is a large cooperative community group consisting of representatives of the 18 cities within the county, nonprofit service providers and other interested parties. The RCCC meets on a monthly basis to identify gaps in homeless services, establish funding priorities, and to pursue an overall systemic approach to addressing homelessness.
The Regional Continuum of Care Council (RCCC) is a community-based forum focused on homelessness in the San Diego region. Agendas and minutes are prepared by members of the RCCC and are not intended to represent the opinion of the County of San Diego.

I would like to know if any one has used the "CRLF Refresh" option for the NAT FW settings for the SIP client.
I would like to know if this works for UDP or only for TCP/TLS?
Also, I think that the "CRLF" refresh message will be sent to SIP signalling port rather than the Stun port?

FORT WORTH, Texas (BP) -- Irish writer Frank O'Connor told the story of two boys standing beside a tall orchard wall launching a small, felt, round object up in the air like a Frisbee. If you had been there to see them, it would have looked strange -- even foolish. With the enthusiasm of a college graduate, one of the boys hurls his hat and you arrive just in time to see it leave the hand of its owner and travel high -- up and over an imposing and significant wall.
You might have wanted to call out and say, "Why did you do that? Now you are going to have to climb over and get it!" To which, the boys would reply with sly and knowing grins, "Exactly. That's the whole idea."
President John F. Kennedy referenced this story in 1963 when speaking of his commitment to space exploration despite the dangers and many unknown factors. He explained how O'Connor and his friends "would make their way across the countryside, and when they came to an orchard wall that seemed too high and too difficult to permit their voyage to continue, they would take off their hats and toss them over the wall -- and then they had no choice but to follow them." Kennedy then applied this to the nation and declared that the United States had now "thrown its hat over the wall of space and had no choice but to follow it."
When it comes to the willingness to take the Gospel to those who have never heard it, I am convinced that we share a similar position and outlook that our nation held when considering the prospects of sending a man to the moon. Standing beside what seems an insurmountable wall of fear, excuses, distractions and, if we are honest, selfishness, we sit down. Or we turn around. Or we try to find some other wall that is easier to climb.
Often, though, all it would take for us to follow God to the ends of the earth is to stop the analysis and debate and instead take off our hats, hold them firmly in our hands, and throw them over the wall by faith. If we made that decision to reach the unreached, then we would have no choice but to find a way over the wall to reach them.
After returning from a 10-day trip to southern Madagascar for the purpose of establishing a plan to send teams of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary students to reach the Antandroy people with the Gospel, the question I have been asked most frequently is, "So, what exactly are you all going to be doing there?"
This fair and honest question and others similar to it often come when someone learns of the great lengths or expense one takes to visit a people so very different than those around the corner. In short, they are asking not just what are we doing there but why are we even wanting to go in the first place. Why would a seminary send two vice presidents, an academic dean and other staff halfway around the world to explore this distant culture? In these cases, Romans 15 and Coca-Cola often come to mind as a way to respond.
The book of Romans gives the model example of a missionary-theologian. As Paul concludes his letter containing life-changing theological explication, he reveals his ultimate ambition. Paul hopes to travel to see the believers in Rome but then to continue to the then-known ends of the earth, Spain. In chapter 15, Paul explains that in the geographic area where he has labored for his entire ministry he has "fulfilled the ministry of the Gospel of Christ" (15:19). The idea here is not that he preached the Gospel to every individual but rather that he sufficiently established in every area believers and churches to take over that task. Seeking now not to "build on someone else's foundation," Paul desires to move on to areas where Christ has not yet been named (15:20).
By way of further explanation of this specific calling, Paul quotes Isaiah 52:15, "Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand." In this passage, Isaiah tells of a day when peoples who have not heard of the Messiah would see and understand. Paul is acknowledging, by the use of this verse, that such a day had come with the advent of Christ and the proclamation of the Gospel.
The U.S. Center for World Mission documents that more than 90 percent of the global evangelical missionary effort is concentrated among the 60 percent of the world that is reached or within reach. This means that only 10 percent of our missionary force is working among the remaining 40 percent who have never heard the Gospel or have little access to the Gospel.
To those who would rightfully remind the ones zealous for unengaged peoples that there are plenty of lost and even unreached peoples at home, I gladly acknowledge that the call to leave all and go is not universal. However, Romans 15 makes clear that a specific calling exists in the New Testament for believers to see that the Gospel is taken to the unengaged and unreached peoples of the world. While not the specific vocational call for all believers, all are to contribute to the task. Just as Paul left some working behind in the reached areas, many should stay behind today. But, just as Paul sought to enlist those believers in Rome and other cities to aid in reaching the unreached, all should support that ultimate task to see the fulfillment of Psalm 67 for God's saving power to be made known among all nations.
Even with advancements in technology and travel, one reason why there exist still many people who have not heard of Jesus Christ is simply because travel to them remains very difficult. The Antandroy, meaning "people of the thorns," live among thorny plants in the bush. You will find the majority of these 850,000 people along a remote 400-mile stretch across the southern portion of Madagascar. With a single unpaved road traversable only part of the year, exposure to the Gospel for these people created in God's image has only just begun. However, difficult to reach does not mean unreachable.
An early chairman of Coca-Cola set out as his goal to see a bottle of Coke within "an arm's reach of desire" of every person on the globe. This strategy led to the exponential growth of the company throughout the 20th century and the virtual fulfillment of that dream by the 21st century.
While traveling among the tribal villages in Madagascar on sandy roads navigating quad-four-wheelers, there was little that reminded me of home in the USA. Stick huts, homemade canoes and ragged clothing met me in every village. Yet along with these scenes came the familiar red signs with white script announcing the availability of Coca-Cola. Local missionaries told us that in many regions where drivable roads stop, porters are hired to carry Coca-Cola to the remotest villages, proving that if one is committed to achieving his mission in this world, few earthly obstacles remain to prevent it.
The father of modern missions, William Carey, writing in his mobilizing manifesto, "The Enquiry," recognized even in 1792 the often-unparalleled commitment of commercial enterprise to reach the ends of the earth. Carey noted that if "we should have as much love to the souls of our fellow-creatures, and fellow sinners, as they have for the[ir] profits all these difficulties would be easily surmounted." Thus, while difficulties in travel abound, the unreached for Christ are already reached by many for monetary gain, who come just as far at great expense but not with "good news of great joy that will be for all the people."
To those who ask and are puzzled as to why Southwestern Seminary would expend effort, time and resources to assist the International Mission Board in reaching the Antandroy people of southern Madagascar, I suppose Southwesterners must look like the two boys standing at the base of a seemingly insurmountable wall dangerously close to throwing their hats to the other side.
However, when asked whether we realize the weight of what we are attempting to do and that our attempts to go to the ends of the earth will necessitate following through regardless of hardship and challenges -- you might just see a few sly grins of joy and expectation and hear the boyish reply, "Exactly. That's the whole idea."
A wall exists that appears high and too difficult to traverse when it comes to the planning, funding, sacrificing and sending of those to engage the unengaged and reach the unreached with the Gospel. Nevertheless, believing God and His Word, and with a love for the peoples of the earth, we have thrown our hats over the wall. Will you join us as we seek to retrieve them?

Tepid Demand Seen for iPad Mini
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- With rumors continuing to persist about an Apple (AAPL) "iPad Mini," it appears that demand for such a device may not be there.
Of the 1,049 readers who voted in a poll by TheStreet, just 32.12%, or 337 of respondents voted, "Yes -- I'll buy anything Apple related."
There may be some hope, however, if Apple is able to make a 7.85-inch tablet, and not compromise on the user experience. More than 35% of voters said they might purchase a smaller iPad, but they would need to see it first. Rumors of a smaller iPad have persisted for months, and have grown stronger in recent days, as Apple gets set to sell its latest tablet on Friday.
Nearly a third of those who participated in the poll, 32.79%, agreed with former CEO Steve Jobs that a 7-inch tablet was "dead on arrival." Jobs once said during a 2010 earnings call that he didn't think the size was right for the software. "The reason we [won't] make a 7-inch tablet isn't because we don't want to hit [a lower] price point, it's because we think the screen is too small to express the software."Amazon (AMZN) and Barnes & Noble (BKS) have shown that there is a demand for 7-inch tablets, but at significantly lower price points. Both Amazon's Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble Nook are priced far lower than the iPad, but offer less features. Apple recently cut the price of its iPad 2 to $399, as it introduced a new iPad last week. Apple shares are surging in afternoon action, rising 4.4% to $593.17 at last check. The session's peak of $594.73 is yet another all-time high for the stock, which has soared more than 40% since the start of the year. Interested in more on Apple?

Small matrix and vector objects are often replicated on distributed memory parallel machines. The Epetra_LocalMap class allows construction of these replicated local objects and keeps information that describes this distribution.
Epetra_LocalMap allows the storage and retrieval of the following information. Once a Epetra_Map is constructed any of the following attributes can be obtained by calling a query function that has the name as the attribute, e.g. to get the value of NumGlobalPoints, you can call a function NumGlobalElements(). For attributes that are lists, the query functions return the list values in a user allocated array.
The Epetra_LocalMap class is actually a derived class of Epetra_Map. Epetra_Map is in turn derived from Epetra_BlockMap. As such, Epetra_LocalMap has full access to all the functions in these other map classes.
In particular, the following function allows a boolean test:
Definition at line 76 of file Epetra_LocalMap.h.
Epetra_LocalMap constructor for a user-defined replicate distribution of elements.
Creates a map that puts NumMyElements on the calling processor. Each processor should pass in the same value for NumMyElements.

It looks like the Colorado Rapids will finally name a head coach, with FC Dallas academy director Oscar Pareja apparently the man for the job, according to a report in the Denver Post. The move comes with less than two weeks before MLS teams are allowed to open training camp and would signal a significant change in direction for the Rapids.
Assuming this report is true, this would seem to be a positive move for a team that has gained a reputation as one of the more physical in the league under the guidance of former head coach Gary Smith. Pareja is a product of South American soccer, having played professionally in Colombia and for the Colombian national team. At the same time, he's much more of a MLS insider than Smith, logging more than 170 MLS appearances from 1998-2005 and working with Dallas' academy.
The Rapids, who have undergone a rather significant amount of change this offseason, reportedly interviewed Dennis Hamlett, Tom Soehn and Richie Williams in recent weeks. Like Pareja, and unlike Smith, all of these candidates had significant MLS experience.
