Specifically, researchers found a 21 percent higher risk of death among people younger than age 55 who drank more than 28 cups of coffee each week (which averages out to more than four cups of coffee a day).
However, it's important to note that people younger than 55 who tended to drink more than four cups of coffee a day were also more likely to smoke and less likely to have good cardiorespiratory fitness.
Correlation v. causation for the win.
Since 2011, the "Viennese coffeehouse" has been on its list of Austria's protected "intangible cultural heritage." UNESCO created this designation in 2003 in an effort to preserve significant parts of culture that don't happen to be buildings or mountains. According to UNESCO's website, the Viennese coffeehouse is "where time and space are consumed, but only the coffee is found on the bill" — at the very least, this has to be the metaphysically interesting entry on the list.
If we protected "coffeehouse culture" around my parts, we'd be protecting freelancers working on MacBooks in Starbucks.
As you can see in the chart above, kale does exceed the other greens in vitamins A and C, but Swiss chard has 16 percent more iron than kale. Collard greens has 18 percent more calcium per serving of kale and double the amount of protein and iron. And mustard greens holds its own by having the least amount of calories and slightly more protein and calcium than kale.
Over the kale frenzy? Other leafy greens are just as nutritious.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered these cards for the thank you's for our shower! I love the paper they came on and the printing was great! They even changed the colors for me to match my wedding's (navy blue & pink). My only complaint is that they were much smaller than I had envisioned them being. Which is my fault for not looking more closely at the measurements. This may or may not be a problem for most depending on how long their thank you cards are."
"I ordered these for my friend to send out after her shower. I changed the font on both of them and they look great. The only thing is (with these and the invites) the block-letter font is pretty small. If I could go back on these, I would have left her name off and had only the 'Thank You'. I can't wait to give these to her at the shower- with the return envelopes already addressed. She will love them!"
"I was so excited to find this color combination because it almost matched my wedding colors of red and gray so it was perfect. I also like the simplicity of the design. Poppies were the flower that I wanted for my wedding so this design was just perfect. The personalization on the front is nice too and it's blank inside so you can leave a meaningful message to the people who shared in your special day!"
"i absolutely loved my thank you notes, as did all my guests! the colors were great, the quality was great, thank you so much! i even ordered them slightly last minute and they came a day early! great job & thanks!"

Police in Los Angeles expected all kinds of weapons when they staged a gun buy-back program the other day, but even they were surprised when two rocket launchers were turned in.
Police aren't saying who turned in the weapons, but say the person who handed them in was allowed to walk away because of the "no questions asked" policy they have for the buy back program.
More than 2,000 weapons were turned in.
They will all be destroyed.

I think Martinez-Cotto will be a great fight, but now might be the opportunity for Martinez to get Floyd, a fight he's always claimed to want. Now there is not even a mention of it? I know he's been loyal to HBO but come on. He's not even an Arum fighter. If Martinez demolishes Cotto I don't think Floyd takes the fight, and if Martinez loses he can kiss any chance of getting Floyd goodbye. If I were his team I'd be pushing for Floyd (since Sergio looked vulnerable in his last fight) and have Cotto as a Plan B. Your thoughts?

the difference in the trout fight was cotto tried to box him instead of hurt him to the body. i think his passion was gone for that fight also. i think hes in a do or die state right now and hes motivated, plus roach has his offense dialed in awesome. i havent seen miguel punch that well in a while, he was super fast and had great fluididy and whip in his shots. he was puting his combos together well also. mechanicaly he looks great IMO.
but you cant say that the cotto back in the day around the time of williams, at 147 around 2006 wouldnt be a beast. he would be ripping williams to the body, williams was overated IMO. he got counterpunched to shit by lara, koed by sergio, even tho the first fight sergio got tagged up also. and he only really beat a past his prime winky, and margarito in his prime, thats his big win next to martinez. even quintana beat him, an cotto ate quintana alive. williams at 147 was so skinny, a cotto body shot would have folded him in half IMO.
Austin trout aint knocking out shit, he couldnt even land a good shot on canelo ffs.
sergio used to be "too athletic" for miguel, but that was 4 years ago. sergio is ripe for the picking right now while miguel has be reinvigorated. i think sergios knee injury has totally ruined his style. now he cant fight like he used to, he is forced to trade shots to to toe now, like in his murray and chavez fights. he doesnt all the time, but he is forced to now way more than ever because he is older and hes breaking down. golovkin would retire him, so i think cotto is a perfect fight. IMHO sergio is actually a legit 154 pounder who became famous beating dumb slow middleweights, when he fought 154 lbs and 147 lbs he had more problems because these guys could actually keep up wit his agility and speed.
sergio will have trouble trying to box cotto, cotto will expose him because sergios best punch is that sneaky left hand lead that he uses, where he ducks his head down low to his right and throws a small looping left hand thru his opponents jab. that is a perfect punch to try on cotto because he will be leaning right into miguels left hook to the body and/or head. he will move right into it and get KOed himself. not to mention he will get jabbed to death by cottos strong left hand power jabs. his hands are down and he will get picked apart by cottos jab.

Canon Pixma MG7520, MG6620 and MG5620
Canon has added 3 new wireless AiO models to its Pixma range of inkjet printers. The top-of-the-line Canon Pixma MG7520 ($199.99, pictured) features advanced media handling with a dual front tray, direct disc printing and six individual ink tanks producing output at a maximum color resolution of 9600x2400dpi. Sporting a compact footprint, the printer has a 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen with the Canon Intelligent Touch System for easy viewing and navigating of menus and images. New to this model is PIXMA Touch & Print (Active NFC), which allows users with compatible Android mobile devices that are registered with PPS to simply open the PPS app, touch the NFC Tag on the top of the printer while viewing the picture, and begin printing without the need for Wi-Fi. The Canon Pixma MG6620 ($149.99) features a Passive NFC version of PIXMA Touch & Print technology, with similar functionality as Active NFC except that both the mobile device and printer will have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network in order to print. The Pixma MG5620 ($99.99) utilises five individual ink tanks, four of which are colour and photo-dedicated while there is a separate pigment black ink dedicated to text. The 2.5-inch touchscreen allows easy access to printer functions including PIXMA Cloud Link and Google Cloud Print

Hasselblad H5D-200c MS
Via its official Instagram channel (!), Hasselblad has introduced a new multi-shot camera called the Hasselblad H5D-200c Multi-Shot. Just like the existing Hasselblad H4D-200MS, the new camera has a 50-megapixel sensor and utilises Hasselblad's patented piezo frame module, which captures a series of shots of the same subject and combines them into a 200-megapixel file. The main difference is the Hasselblad H5D-200c MS has a CMOS chip instead of a CCD, which offers a much wider sensitivity range and exposure times as long as 12 minutes. Pricing and availability to be confirmed.
Leica M-P
Leica has today announced a new digital rangefinder camera. Based on the otherwise identical Leica M, the new Leica M-P (not to be confused with the Leica MP film camera) offers all the technical advantages of the Leica M-System and several additional features. According to Leica, the 'P' in the product name indicates the "particularly discreet and enduring design concept with which the Leica M-P joins the line of Leica M-Cameras." Instead of the red Leica logo, the M-P is graced only with a "discreetly classical" Leica script, making it "noticeably unnoticeable," the company says. The full-frame, 24-megapixel Leica M-P features a 2GB buffer (upgraded from 1GB on the Leica M), a sapphire glass LCD cover and a frame selection lever with which bright-line frames for six different focal lengths can be projected into the viewfinder to simulate subject framing. The corresponding frames are shown in pairs for the focal lengths 28 and 90mm, 35 and 135mm or 50 and 75mm. The manufacturer's suggested retail price is $7949.95.
Lensbaby LM-10 and Sweet 50
Lensbaby has launched the LM-10 Sweet Spot Lens for mobile devices and the Sweet 50, a 50mm selective-focus optic compatible with the Lensbaby Optic Swap System for SLR, mirrorless and motion picture cameras. The LM-10 ( $69.95) is less than 1.5 inches long and weighs in at 0.7 oz. It attaches to a mobile device fitted with a strong adhesive-backed stainless steel ring. Additionally, the lens has magnets on both ends, which allows it to be used alone or in conjunction with other magnetic mobile lenses such as those made by Photojojo. The lens comes with a free iOS or Android app, which is required to select the focus point and properly orient the image. The Sweet 50 optic ($299.95) is a 50mm selective focus optic with a 12-blade adjustable aperture ranging from f/2.5 through f/22. Along with controlling depth of field, the aperture controls the size of the sweet spot of focus. The Sweet 50 is part of the Lensbaby Optic Swap System and attaches to your SLR, mirrorless or motion picture camera via the Lensbaby Composer Pro.
Kodak Alaris Discontinues Kodak BW400CN Film
Kodak Alaris have announced the discontinuation of the Kodak Professional BW400CN chromogenic film. The BW400CN was a greyscale film that could be developed using the C-41 process, just like colour print films, which made it a convenient black-and-white option for photographers with no access to a traditional darkroom. Kodak Alaris "emphatize" with those who "use and love this film," and blame the decision on "a steady decline in sales and customer usage."

Rebecca Litchfield: Soviet Ghosts
Soviet Ghosts is a new book featuring a unique set of photographs by Rebecca Litchfield. On a journey funded by Lowepro, Rebecca captured many abandoned locations, which were either part of the Soviet Union or its satellite states. 'I refrain from having personal opinions about the era and try to remain relatively neutral.' Rebecca added: 'Whilst the period had bad times, the people living in the communities still got on with life and also had good times, it was not a period of pure black and white and so my aim of the book was to just capture it as it is now. Some places would have been thriving and others horrible places to be and you can see this reflected in my book and some of the accompanying text.' Priced at £19.95 the book is available via Rebecca's website.

CAROLINE CO., Md. - Maryland State Police say they responded to a three-car crash at around 1:36 PM on September 14th.
According to reports, in the area of Greensboro Road, north of Sandy Point Road, in Caroline County, a 2001 Dodge Durango, operated by Robert Oakes, 50, of Frankford, was traveling northbound on Greensboro Road. A 2002 Toyota Tacoma, operated by Solomon Michael, 74, of Greensboro, was reportedly traveling southbound on Greensboro Rd. Oakes allegedly crossed the center line and went into the southbound lane, hitting Michael head-on, forcing him from his lane into a 2003 Venture, operated by Cleora Wheedleton, 48, of Greensboro. Wheedleton was reportedly not injured, but both Oakes and Michael were transported for injuries that are unknown at this time.

With half a season under their belts, the 2008 NBA Draft Class is already making a case to be the strongest group since the fabled 2003 NBA Draft Class that featured elite talent, including players such as Lebron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh. In such a deep draft, the Sacramento Kings turned more than a few heads when they selected Jason Thompson with the twelfth pick overall.
Many observers felt that Thompson could have been had later in the first round of the draft. But with the Kings not picking again until the 42nd pick overall, they did not want to risk missing out on Thompson and used their first round pick to select the 6-foot-11, 250 pound forward out of Rider University.
Like many rookies in the NBA, Thompson's transition from college to the pros has been marked by inconsistency. Recently, though, Jason has been heating up, as evidenced by his last four games. Over this stretch, Thompson has averaged 14.0 points on 56 percent shooting and 91 percent free throw shooting, 0.0 threes, 6.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.0 steals, 0.3 blocks, 0.8 turnovers in 27.5 minutes. Thompson's free throw shooting has been lights out (20 for 22 from the line over the past four games) but he is averaging 69 percent on the season. Expect his free throw percentage to come back down to earth over the next few games. According to Basketballmonster Player Rankings, over the past week Thompson is ranked 94th in per game value (again, partially due to his inflated free throw percentage).
The Kings' upcoming schedule looks to be highly favorable toward Thompson maintaining or building upon his recent production. The Kings play three out of their next four games next week on the road against Denver, Milwaukee, and Toronto. The Kings' only home game next week comes against fellow underachievers, the Washington Wizards. Strangely enough, the Kings' and Thompson's averages, in general, are better on the road than at home this season so this road trip against relatively weak competition bodes well for Jason.
Finally, the Kings' team situation in general this season provides favorable situational circumstances for an increased role for Jason Thompson. With a record of 10-31, the Kings are completely out of the running for a playoff berth this season with nine teams already in a heated competition for the eight coveted spots in the West. Thus, they are more or less committed to the youth movement and are focused on restoring their franchise to the winning ways of earlier this millennium (see, for example, the 2001-02 Sacramento Kings).
As they spent a highly valuable lottery pick on Thompson, look for the Kings to try and accelerate his development by increasing his role and ratcheting up his playing time over the course of the remainder of this sub-par season. Thompson is currently available in seventy-five percent of Yahoo! fantasy basketball leagues. If you are looking for points on quality shooting from the floor, boards and low turnovers, pick him up knowing that he has the opportunity to continue his recent production.

A look back at the life of legendary folk singer Pete Seeger
Pete Seeger, a legendary folk singer and songwriter, died Monday evening at age 94. Seeger reportedly died of natural causes at New York Presbyterian Hospital. He was hospitalized six days before his passing.
Seeger was considered an American pioneer for contemporary folk music. He wrote a string of hit records in the 1950s as a member of The Weavers, including "Goodnight, Irene," which topped the charts for 13 weeks. Some of his best hits include "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," "If I Had a Hammer" and "We Shall Overcome."
Seeger was born in Midtown Manhattan and came from a family of teachers. After failing in the newspaper industry, his aunt offered him $5 to play songs for the class she was teaching. He took the offer and in 1939, the singer began his career.
Seeger once told reporters, "You don't have to play at nightclubs, you don't have to play on TV, just go from college to college to college, and the kids will sing along with you."
In 1993, the singer was honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and in 1996, Seeger entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and also won the Grammy for Best Traditional Folk Album.
His love for music never drifted. On March 3, 2009, he celebrated his 90th birthday with family and friends at a sold-out concert in New York's Madison Square Garden. In 2012, he contributed his own version of "Forever Young" in the album "Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International."
In one of his last interviews with Democracy Now, Seeger said of his albums "Seeds," "Realize that little things lead to bigger things. That's what 'Seeds' is all about."
Pete Seeger certainly planted a seed of folk music in the hearts of many and spent a lifetime growing that seed with unforgettable lyrics.

Vision, Purpose and Values
Trinity School for Ministry is an evangelical seminary in the Anglican tradition. In this fractured world, we desire to be a global center for Christian formation, producing outstanding leaders who can plant, renew, and grow churches that make disciples of Jesus Christ.
To this end we are forming Christian leaders for mission.
The values that undergird this vision are:
- Evangelical and Anglican identity: We stand in the great Anglican Evangelical tradition that is rooted in the primacy of the scriptures and the doctrine of salvation by grace alone through faith alone, and which is foundationally expressed in the classic Book of Common Prayer.
- Welcoming evangelical, charismatic and catholic streams: We welcome students and faculty who long for a church that is evangelical in faith, catholic in order, alive in the Holy Spirit and committed to mission. We have a vital commitment to students from the Episcopal Church and from other Anglican jurisdictions both in North America and abroad. We also welcome students from other Christian traditions.
- Serving the Church: We are committed to serving the Church by preparing men and women to be leaders for its mission, its renewal, the planting and growth of congregations, and the proclamation of the never-changing truth in an ever-changing world.
- Excellent teaching and scholarship: We hold high standards of excellence in teaching and scholarship, believing that these will further both personal maturity and practical effectiveness in mission.
- Deep formation in community: We value the deep formation in Christian ministry that is possible in the residential degree programs of the school. In addition we believe in being flexible and innovative in providing theological education by extension with a global reach through the internet and off-campus classes and conferences.
- Being a school of discipleship: We believe that the discipleship of the whole person is essential preparation for ministry. We commit to foster in all our seminarians – men, women, single, married, married with children – spiritual and emotional maturity, integrity, grace, and holiness of life.
- Lifelong learning: We are committed to building a life-long community of learning among our graduates and other Christian leaders aimed at constantly improving their knowledge and ability as servants of Jesus Christ and His Church.
- Trusting God's provision: We believe that "money follows ministry," and therefore are accountable to our partners in ministry for careful stewardship of God's money. We prayerfully rely on God's provision and the generosity of His people in providing quality theological education at a reasonable cost for this and future generations.

Overview:Trilinos is a collection of compatible software packages that support parallel linear algebra computations, solution of linear, non-linear and eigen systems of equations and related capabilities. The majority of packages are written in C++ using object-oriented techniques. All packages are self-contained, with the Trilinos top layer providing a common look-and-feel and infrastructure.
Packages:The version 5.0 general release contains 17 packages: Amesos, Anasazi, AztecOO, Didasko, Epetra, EpetraExt, Ifpack, Kokkos, Komplex, LOCA, ML, New_Package, NOX, Pliris, PyTrilinos, Teuchos, and Triutils.
The limited release contains an additional 9 packages that are available in special situations by request. These are: Belos, Claps, Jpetra, Meros, Tpetra, TSF, TSFCore, TSFCoreUtils and TSFExtended.
Some of the significant new features:
- Four new packages: Anasazi (Eigensolvers), Didasko (Tutorial), Pliris (Distributed dense solvers), PyTrilinos (Python interface to Trilinos libraries).
- Trilinos tutorial delivered as part of a new package called Didasko.
- Kernel performance in Epetra substantially improved, especially for multiple rights.
- Initial kernel support for vector architectures in Epetra.
- Significant improvements and enhancements in most existing packages.
More information:Trilinos website: http://software.sandia.gov/trilinos
Amesos (version 2.0)
- Improved handling of Epetra_RowMatrix operators
- Memory leaks have been reduced
- Simplified configuration using
- Known bugs:
- Amesos_Dscpack has memory leaks, prints to standard out and may crash if SymbolicFactorization() is called multiple times on the same Amesos object.
- Amesos packages do not accept non-contiguous maps (e.g. one with indices {1,2,5,8,9, ... } )
- Superludist fails on some matrices
- Error handling on singular and near singular matrices is inconsistent
Anasazi (New)
- Anasazi framework includes abstract description of eigenproblem, eigensolver, sorting, and linear algebra.
- Templated implementations of two block eigensolvers ( block Krylov-Schur and block Davidson ) are included in this release.
- Anasazi eigensolvers can use Epetra through linear algebra adapters.
- A basic implementation of the abstract eigenproblem class is given for solving standard and generalized eigenvalue problems.
- A basic implementation of the abstract sorting class is given for the block Krylov-Schur method. The block Davidson computes only the smallest eigenvalues at this time.
- Many examples for solving standard and generalized eigenvalues problems using Anasazi are provided in this release.
- Robust support for multiple simultaneous instances of AztecOO objects. Prior releases had a very fragile memory management approach that require user intervention.
- Support (optional dependence on Teuchos) for ParameterList-driven use of AztecOO via Teuchos ParameterList objects.
Didasko (New)
- Didasko now contains the tutorial PDF file and examples. All the tutorial material is located in the Trilinos/packages/didasko subdirectory.
- The doxygen documentation has been improved.
- All examples are configured with autotools. Users can enable the compilations of the examples by adding --enable-didasko to their configure line.
- Memory efficiency improvement for MultiVector, CrsGraph and CrsMatrix classes.
- MultiVector uses much less O(NumVector) storage in important situations.
- CrsGraph and CrsMatrix support a static profile mode that allows one-time allocation of memory.
- CrsGraph and CrsMatrix support a more robust OptimizeStorage capability that improves memory use and performance.
- Performance improvement for CrsMatrix and VbrMatrix kernels.
- CrsMatrix matrix multiplication and triangular solves are 20% to 100% faster that Version 4.0
- VbrMatrix matrix multiplication is also improved for some important classes of problems.
- Initial vector architecture support for sparse matrix-vector multiplication.
- A new class called JadOperator supports matrix-vector multiplication using the so-called Jagged Diagonal data format. This format is especially effective for vector machines such as the Cray X1 and NEC SX series machines.
- Scalable parallel distance-1 and distance-2 graph coloring.
- Sparse matrix Add for Epetra CRS matrices.
- Global index map "reindexing" tool for Epetra objects.
- IFPACK 3.0 defines a general interface for preconditioners, through class Ifpack_Preconditioner.
- Class Ifpack_AdditiveSchwarz can be used to define general overlapping one-level domain decomposition preconditioners.
- IFPACK now offers point and block relaxation schemes, of Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel, and symmetric Gauss-Seidel type. For block schemes, the package supports both dense and sparse blocks.
- Two new factorizations, ILUT and ICT, have been introduced.
- A new user's guide is available. The doxygen documentation has been improved.
Kokkos (version 1.1)
- No notable new features.
Komplex (version 2.0)
- No notable new features.
- The LOCA library can now be built as a shared library using libtool. Known issues with this are:
- Extra link libraries passed using the --with-libs configure flag should use the "-Lpath -lname" format instead of "path/libname.a"
- Building LOCA as a static library on DEC architectures using template repositories does not work. On these architectures, only build LOCA as a shared library using the --enable-shared and --disable-static configure flags, or turn off template repositories using the "-tweak" C++ compiler flag. Note that if the later method is chosen, a large number of warnings will be issued each time an executable is linked against LOCA.
- When building shared libraries on SGI systems in 64 bit, one must supply the "-64" C++ compiler flag to not only the compiler and linker through CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS, but also to libtool using LIBTOOL_CCLINKER_FLAGS or --with-libtool-cclinker-flags. Also one must turn off template repositories and the template prelinker using the flags "-ptused -no_prelink -no_auto_include".
- When building shared libraries on Solaris systems, one should add "-xlic_lib=sunperf" to CFLAGS, "-library=sunperf" to CXXFLAGS and LIBTOOL_CCLINKER_FLAGS, and make sure neither of these flags appear in LDFLAGS.
- A basic, but functional python interface to NOX and LOCA now exists. A test exhibiting this functionality can be found in the Trilinos/packages/nox/test/lapack/LOCA_python directory.
ML (version 3.1)
- ML now supports Zoltan as a coarsening scheme (RCB only). Zoltan can be used to create the aggregates and to redistribute the next-level operator among the specified number of processors (which can be less than the available number of processes, for Maxwell solver only).
- A variable-block partitioning scheme (based on METIS) is now available.
- ML now supports IFPACK smoothers, like variable block Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel and symmetric Gauss-Seidel preconditioners, and generic additive Schwarz preconditioner.
- Updated ML user's guide and Doxygen documentation.
- Improved MultiLevelPreconditioner class (now derived from Epetra_Operator and no longer from Epetra_RowMatrix). Updated filtering/GGB algorithm, based on the Anasazi package.
- Solving Maxwell equations via MultiLevelPreconditioner is now supported.
- Improved organization of the examples, more detailed comments and additional README files.
- Wrapping an ML_Operator struct as Epetra_RowMatrix is now supported.
- Improved test coverage.
New_Package (version 1.1)
- New tests are working examples of how to add tests to the Trilinos Test-Harness.
- A new Tensor based solver that is independent of the underlying linear solver is now implemented (in the prerelease section). Previously the Tensor method was hardwired to use an iterative solver.
- Inexact Trust Region Techniques are fully supported (also in the prerelease section).
- Improved support for Epetra objects - The NOX::EpetraNew::Group should be used in place of the NOX::Epetra::Group. In the future we will be phasing out the NOX::Epetra::Group and replace it with NOX::EpetraNew::Group.
- A multi-physics technique for code coupling has been demonstrated in the test/epetra/Multiphysics directory. This will be expanded to a generic capability in the next year.
Pliris (New)
- An Object Oriented interface to a Dense Parallel LU Solver is now in place.
- The matrix is described in terms of Epetra Vectors and Multivectors.
- Multiple right hand sides can be addressed.
- Configure with --enable-pliris
- Test code allows performance studies - performance is dependent on highly optimized Level 3 BLAS.
PyTrilinos (New)
- Requires SWIG version 1.3.23 or higher (http://www.swig.org).
- Requires python Numeric (http://www.pfdubois.com/numpy).
- Configure with --enable-pytrilinos.
- Currently provides access to Epetra, EpetraExt and NOX. From python, use "from PyTrilinos import name", where "name" is the desired module.
- Online documentation provides list of which classes have been wrapped.
- Wrapped classes support almost all of the class methods. See documentation of wrapped packages for details.
- Additional BLAS/LAPACK wrappers
- Teuchos::ScalarTraits template specializations for the GNU MP and Arprec arbitrary precision libraries
- Code enabling the conversion from NOX::Parameter::List to Teuchos::ParameterList, and vice versa.
- No notable new features.

no install base, no sales. But in a years time, the answer might be different.
|Sean Maples
This article mentions Windows 8 at the top but the choice of devs to talk with and their responses seem about the Windows RT version of Surface rather then the Windows 8 version. Windows RT being Arm based, while Windows 8 is the full x86 software package for Desktops, Laptops, and Tablets.
I feel it is something worth clarifying as it makes a big difference for gaming. The Windows 8 version of Surface, with its i5 cpu and hopefully HD4000 iGpu, should be able to play major PC games like Mass Effect 3 on it, not a port or a stream, but actually run it with it's Intel hardware. Just like any low end notebook does.
|Jeremy Reaban
I'm not sure it's really like the C-64, since one of the main appeals of it (as well as the Atari) was it was so much cheaper than Apple computers at the time. Almost 1/10 the price.
Indeed, that's one of the odd trends of mobile gaming these days - the prices of games are very little, but the entry barrier is quite steep
|Chris MacDonald
It will come down to a lot of factors, but they really need to differentiate themselves from Apple and Google. There are quite a few thinks they can do but here is my shortlist: 1) Easy Windows 8 PC -> Surface code and data portability, 2) Sign on some early developers to really push the hardware, 3) Low stratification in hardware, 4) No developer fee, and 5) fast app submission process while still a heavily curated experience.
|Rodney Figueroa
I am torn, here's my opinion of the situation. Let's examine the paradigm of the console cycle. The cycle exists for the purpose of allowing developers a stable and well explored development platform. Pitfalls of said hardware, limitation of RAM, CPU components, and video processing are usually more hardlined, more obvious to developers.
Therein lies my issues with mobile gaming platforms. Their hardware refresh cycle is entirely too fast for anything that I believe would be worthy of console competitiveness. I can't justify requiring an install base that has to go out and purchase a new tablet device, or a new mobile device every year in order to keep up with the rapid progression of mobile rendering capabilities.
I don't think it's as simple as deciding apple, google or ms. I think what it boils down to is the general pace set by the hardware as it comes out.
|Duong Nguyen
Microsoft is getting into a totally different hardware market than they are use too (from consoles). The iteration times are 8-12 months, this is for both hardware and software. Apple does both well, Google does the software side well and leaves its partners to do the hardware iteration.. Nokia does the hardware well but doesn't have the software engineering depth to create their own OS so the Microsoft partnership. Microsoft doesn't do either well, taking years for to iterate on their OS and hardware. Microsoft have their work cut out for them..
Even then, the key to the Surface success will be the first quarter and the momentum it carries onward from there. If developers don't see a market emerging they won't develop games / app thus consumers are even less likely to purchase it thus a downward spiral. If they learned anything from Kinect success it's that it's not going to be the billions they spend on marketing that will make it a success, it will be the hype generated by the 3rd parties (hackers, indie developers, early adopters etc..) which gives a platform it's legitimacy and that will fuel public demand. I hope they have allocated enough time and energy in that regards.
|Roberto Dillon
I like Mike Mika's perspective: if this gets priced reasonably and be affordable to the "average Joe", it could really become like a new C64 or ZXSpectrum and help fostering a new generation of developers.
I'm definitely very curious about this!

Don't overlook Microsoft's history of failure. Despite heavy advertising the Zune never got good numbers. Despite the hype Vista was a disaster. Despite pumping one _billion_ dollars into the Kin it was such a disaster they couldn't even bring it to market. They tried bringing tablets to the market but they all sucked so bad for so many reasons the only people who remember them were the ones unfortunate enough to try to use them (like me, and let me tell you they really sucked).
Now they're hyping this new tablet that isn't even in production yet. Given Microsoft's history the Surface could be nothing but vaporware, or so anemic it can't even run Angry Birds, or so restricted only microsoft approved and certified companies can make apps for it, indies not invited. When thinking about the Surface keep in mind that Microsoft has a pretty toxic management system in place that can kill off any idea no matter how good it may be.
Bottom line, wait until it's in the stores and you actually get your hands on it before you start praising or even hoping that it's a good competitor to the iPad. I hope it is, competition is good for everybody involved, but every time I look at it I think about the Zune, Kin and Vista.

Microsoft has Windows XP/Vista/7/8
Has always controlled Desktops and Laptops.
Desktops/Consoles/And some Laptops usually have too big of a screen for touching. Nobody wants to pay $400++ for a large flat screen and have you touch it. Motion controls have also given them a scare.
Handhelds(Consoles/Cells) have really taken off with touch screens. It makes a lot of sense to add a touch screen to a Laptop or just give a person a Tablet these days. With wireless/blue tooth taking off so much, and the ability for all these screens to connect to other devices, a Handheld Screen has become the standard even a few years ago. But in the next decade will be the base default like a keyboard/mouse and control sticks and buttons on controllers.
As for developers, what are they really doing? Adding input code? Some extra graphics/sounds on the screens? Input hasn't been the greatest since the start of gaming. At least now we have more options... Let's face it, you've barely got any hardware options, you got the old d-pad controllers, the two sticks of a PS3/360/or the Wii U(PS3, swapped). NO COMPANY has any software what so ever to even allow you basic Config.cfg options like switching the right stick for the left stick. On top of that, develops give you NO options to change your Config.cfg either unless it's a PC game.
Touch Screen won't replace a keyboard/mouse and controllers. But add it to the middle of the controller, keyboard... Progress
|Joe Cooper
Who is really going to develop on these things? Just because a device has a keyboard doesn't mean you can really work on it for hours on end. Would you develop games on a Netbook? Raise your hand if you do your game development work on a Netbook. What is the difference between this and a Netbook other than lack of accurate pointing?
|Trent Tait
Has anyone here used Windows 8? It's an abomination on the desktop. It's worse than Vista. There is no way in hell you'll get me using it. Windows 7 is superior in every way.
Then there is Fischer Price 2012 ... er Visual Studio 2012. Anyone notice that you can't develop normal Windows apps any more. Metro, or pay a fee. Sure, most people buy Pro to develop, but they have just stifled any learning for the future generation, not just by forcing them to start coding in something other than Visual Studio, but by lumping them with the pile of garbage that is Windows 8.
What a massive step backwards this is. Absolutely massive.
|Alejandro Valenzuela
Really? Are we getting excited about a TABLET PC??? In 2012??? What, has everybody lost their long-term memory?? The only thing that is different this time is that there's an extra API. Maybe that will change things.
Well, I used to be a Tablet PC fan back in 2007 so I suppose I should get excited again. Not!
|Paul Shirley
@Doug: rather, Apple proving if you don't pretend its a PC customers won't be disappointed when it turns out to be crap at being a PC!
Microsoft are launching a PC and hinting it's also a good tablet (the Pro and I want to see battery life before deciding it's good at anything). Simultaneously a cheap tablet (the ARM RT and current estimates say it won't even be cheap) hoping everyone thinks it's as good a PC as the Pro.
What could possibly go wrong with that smoke and mirrors ;)

Evanston's Demonte Hill (35) and Maine South's Dan Schmidt (14) fight for a rebound during the first quarter of Thursday evening's game. | Brian O'Mahoney~for Sun-Times Media
With its fourth one in a row, Maine South stayed on top in the Central Suburban League South with its 37-24 victory over Evanston, a score more suited for a football game between the two schools.
"It was a grind, but good teams find ways to win these games," said Maine South coach Tony Lavorato, whose team entered the Sun-Times poll this week at No. 24.
The Hawks (15-3 overall, 5-1 CSL South) led from the outset, but the Wildkits (7-12, 1-5) were within striking distance as late as the fourth quarter after junior guard Will Jones forced a turnover and then hit two free throws to cut the deficit to four, 28-24, with 5:51 to play.
But Maine South senior guard Frank Dounis wouldn't let the game get away from the Hawks.
Over the next two minutes, he hit a free throw, a field goal, kept another possession alive with a rebound and assisted on senior John Solari's basket to help the Hawks extend the advantage to 33-24.
Solari then hit all four of his free throws to secure the win. Solari and Dounis each scored 13 points. Defensively, the Hawks held their eighth opponent to less than 40 points.
Evanston sophomore Elijah Henry finished with six for the Wildkits, who scored less points than the first meeting, a 53-27 loss on Dec. 1.

Release date:
6 March 2006 :00am
Ottawa received the following three Customer Satisfaction awards; 2nd overall for worldwide airports between 0 and 5 million passengers; 2nd overall for all airports in the Americas; and 2nd overall for domestic passenger airports. Participating airports include Sydney, Hong Kong, London Heathrow, Athens, Denver, Toronto and Vancouver, to name a few.
AETRA is a joint venture between the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Airports Council International (ACI), and is an airport customer satisfaction benchmarking program that provides demographic and travel profiles by comparing airport performance for 31 service items at 65 airports worldwide. Surveys are conducted quarterly and offer important insight into customer satisfaction and loyalty. Ottawa joined the program in the third quarter of 2004.
The awards were welcome news for the Airport Authority. "We're thrilled by these results, particularly since 2005 was our first full year participating in the program; they speak highly to the commitment of the entire airport community, and the pride that each and every employee takes in our new terminal", said Paul Benoit, Airport Authority President and CEO.
"One of the Authority's strategic objectives is to provide exemplary customer service; the AETRA results confirm we're doing just that", said Jim Durrell, Chairman of the Board. He added, "The customer wins when we provide excellent service".
The Airport Authority plans to continue participating in the AETRA program, and looks forward to building on the results from 2005.
OMCIAA operates Ottawa International Airport without government subsidies under a 60-year lease transfer agreement with Transport Canada. The OMCIAA's mandate is to manage, operate and develop airport facilities and lands in support of the economic growth of the National Capital Region. Its new state-of-the-art passenger terminal building opened for business on October 12, 2003.
(AETRA is derived from the Latin word AETHRA, which stands for "clear sky, upper sky".)
The AETRA Customer Satisfaction and Performance Benchmarking program is offered as a joint venture between the International Air Transport Association and the Airports Council International. There are 65 airports worldwide that subscribe to and participate in the AETRA program.
AETRA is a program that provides traveller demographics and travel profiles and compares airport performance for 31 service items.
The survey is conducted quarterly and offers unparalleled insight into customer satisfaction and loyalty.
The survey sampling plan is created individually for each participating airport and is based on airline share of market, destinations, time of day and market sector (domestic and international) to ensure the sample is fully representative of the individual airport's traveller profile. 34 of the 65 airports survey both domestic and international, the balance only survey international travellers.
The questionnaire is self administered (the traveller completes the questionnaire not an interviewer)
For Ottawa there are approximately 400 questionnaires/interviews completed during each quarter.
Ottawa participated in its first survey in the third quarter of 2004, and received very favorable feedback. Results for all of 2005, however, were even better than our expectations.
The Ottawa International Airport team is extremely proud to have been awarded second place in three specific categories in 2005:
2nd in customer satisfaction for all enrolled airports of between 0 and 5 million passengers (out of 23 airports);
2nd in customer satisfaction for all enrolled airports in the Americas (out of 16 airports); and
2nd in customer satisfaction for all enrolled airports surveying domestic passengers (out of 34 airports).

Kenwood is the one and only place that I will buy any alcoholic beverages from. Granted, wine is their big inventory item, but hard liquor and beer have a large inventory there too.
The pricing at Kenwood will blow away any of the competition on virtually anything, beating even Binny's prices by a considerable margin. I saw Sprecher's on Binney's website and decided to pick up some Abbey Triple, and made a special trip to do so. Well. the Binney's in Orland Park didn't have it, but did have a few 4-paks of Black Bavarian for over 8 bucks a pak. I knew that Kenwood had it for $5.99. Some discount Binneys! I left empty handed, and headed to Kenwood and got the value that they're known for. If they would be open to requests, they would be completely unbeatable. My service rating is low because cashiers are pretty much all that are around to talk to if you want to suggest an item. Binnys may stock more, but alot of it is overpriced dust collectors, or mass produced swill.
Try Kenwood, especially on the weekends when hard liquor tastings greet you. It is a great place to stock up!

Kenwood Liquors is a warehouse type liquor store much like the old Sam's chains around Chicagoland. Walking through the doors your met by row after row of warehouse shelving, floor to ceiling of wine. Around the corner you're met by your tequila aisle, rum aisle, bourbon aisle, etc all of which are reasonably priced with impressive selections of each spirit, from handles of swill to top shelf Bourbon, Scotch, and Cognac. All the spirits are between $2-8 less than the Orland Binny's just down the road.
The first aisle of beer is dedicated to the imports. There's a nice selection of German, English, and Eastern European beer. The Belgian selection is lacking in size but what's available is solid. The other two aisles are loaded with American craft, and a good selection at that. A large bank of coolers are also stocked up with 60% micro and 40% macro. As with the spirits, the beer is also much cheaper than at Binny's down the road, anywhere from $1-$3 per bottle and sixer less. I've been asked if I needed help before but never asked about anything so I don't have a comment on the service.
Kenwood is a quality liquor store with great prices and good selection. I usually give Kenwood a stop first when I'm headed out that way, pick up what I'm going to and then hit the Binny's after just in case they have something different.

I enjoy this place more than the local Binnys(es)?
Although not nearly as large a selection as the previously mentioned Blues Brother endorsed liquor dispensory, they do have better prices. Also Kenwood seems to have rare stuff actually make it to the shelf more often. Always friendly help and attractive cashiers if I must say so my self. Excellent scotch selection at great prices as well. I do wish they would embrace sours a bit more but as I said its worth a stop in for the pricing alone. Frrrnt.

It's a liquor store. People asked me if I needed help finding anything, but I didn't, so I don't know how much help thy might have been. They have a good selection (on par with Binny's), and better prices (consistently $0.50-$1.00 cheaper than Binny's). Whenever I go here, I see new beers that I've never seen before, but that could just as easily be because I live in Seattle, and there are lots of beers distributed here that are not distributed near me.
It's a good place and we'll be back.

This is one solid little shop.
The American craft selection is fantastic... The imports leaves something to be desired, but hey, it's in Will County which means it's tougher to get those imports!
The employees pretty much leave me alone. I may have been asked "do you need any help?" once in the 20 or so I've shopped here-- and I like that. I know what I want and if I don't see it, I'll ask. Of course, that's not the attitude of most customers, so I could see this being a slight problem for the uninitiated.
The prices are very fair. $14.99 for a 6 pack of Hopslam vs the standard Binnys price of $16.99.
My parents and inlaws all live in Orland, and I prefer to stop at Kenwood over Orland Binny's. (I still stop at Orland Binny's however, but that is because I really like the employees over there).
So two stories need to be added to this review--
1) when bcs vanilla came out I had my name on the list at this store... When I went in to pick up my bottle, the guy said, "Oh.. some guy just picked it up." Left empty-handed. I gave them the benefit of the doubt...
2) The store held back bottles of CBS, waited 6 weeks after release and decided to put them for sale at a 600% markup. Retail location attempting to get ebay prices... That's bullshit.

I found out about this store because I missed the boat on GI Rare BCS and apparently Kenwood has cases of it still. Located right off of 159th Street, Kenwood looks pretty big and has a nice large parking lot. As soon as you walk inside, you're in the wine section, as you keep walking you eventually run into the beer section.
I was impressed with the selection - there are about 5-6 cooler doors full of craft beer as well as 2.5 aisles loaded with just about every american craft beer that comes to IL. When it came to the belgian and english import section, they have the standbys, but not a huge selection by any stretch of the imagination.
I'm used to paying Binnys prices for everything, so I was glad to see that a 4 pack of GI BCBS was only $17.99 (I'm used to $21.99). Also, most of the other 6 packs looked to be priced a dollar or two lower than what I'm used to.
The service was fine. Several employees milled around me while stocking shelves and moving displays, but I was never asked if I needed help. The cashiers were friendly and I actually ended up going back to Kenwood the next day and one of the Managers, Jon, did me a favor. So while the service wasn't outstanding, it won't keep me from coming back here.

Kenwood just opened last year and is the main reason I get to enjoy so many new beers. Their beer selection is 2nd only to Binny's however I believe their prices are better(mainly because its in will county and not cook). With the lowest prices probably possible this is my number one pick. (it also doesnt hurt that I can walk there from my house).
The staff is generally very helpful. Often I will ask if they have beer that is out warm in the back fridges and they usually do. The beer manager or whomever he is has offered to add new beers I might be interested in without me evening bringing the subject up.
