Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 650 vs Radeon HD 6870
IntroThe GeForce GTX 650 comes with a core clock frequency of 1058 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1250 MHz. It also uses a 128-bit bus, and makes use of a 28 nm design. It is made up of 384 SPUs, 32 TAUs, and 16 ROPs.
Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6870, which features GPU core speed of 900 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory set to run at 1050 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 1120 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.
(No game benchmarks for this combination yet.)
Power Usage and Theoretical Benchmarks
Power Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory Bandwidth
Performance-wise, the Radeon HD 6870 should theoretically be quite a bit better than the GeForce GTX 650 overall. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6870 will be much (more or less 49%) more effective at anisotropic filtering than the GeForce GTX 650. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high screen resolution is important to you, then the Radeon HD 6870 is a better choice, by far. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit.
Price Comparison
Please note that the price comparisons are based on search keywords - sometimes it might show cards with very similar names that are not exactly the same as the one chosen in the comparison. We do try to filter out the wrong results as best we can, though.
Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of megabytes per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR type RAM, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be applied per second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in one second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel fill rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.

Report Roundup
District Demographics
"Characteristics of the 100 Largest Public Elementary and Secondary School Districts in the United States: 2008-09"
A new report from researchers on the demographics of the nation's 100 largest school districts shows that well over half of students—about 63 percent—are black or Hispanic.
The percentage of black students in the largest districts was 26 percent, compared to 17 percent in school districts of all sizes. Hispanic students made up 37 percent of the population of the largest school districts, compared to 22 percent of students in districts of all sizes.
The report, from the National Center for Education Statistics, is based on data collected during the 2007-08 school year.

Comptroller: State bodies not doing enough to repair environmental contamination
polluted stream 311.
(photo credit:Zalul)
The long-standing failure of Israel Military Industries (IMI) and Israel
Aerospace Industries (IAI) to rehabilitate areas polluted by their factory
contaminants poses a public health hazard that must be rectified immediately,
State Comptroller Joseph Shapira declared in his latest report issued on
Wednesday.The State Comptroller's Office reviewed the behavior of IMI –
a government company that operates as the military and industrial support unit
of the Defense Ministry – intermittently from November 2011 through July 2012,
examining the firm's failure to evacuate and clean up its long abandoned Haifa
site.In addition, the audit evaluated IMI's mismanagement of the
perchlorate pollution flowing from the company's Givon plant toward Rehovot, as
well as the Environmental Protection Ministry and Water Authority's failure to
curb this situation. From March to July 2012, the state comptroller also
analyzed IAI operational units that have been contaminating Ben-Gurion Airport
sewage facilities.An IMI military vehicle production site in Haifa
closed down in the early 2000s, leaving the site rife with environmental
hazards, according to the state comptroller.By the time of the audit's
completion in July 2012, the firm still had not budgeted a plan for the site's
evacuation and decontamination, despite an IMI board of directors decision from
March 2006.Stressing that this situation constitutes an "environmental
hazard," the state comptroller concluded that it is "vital that IMI and the
Defense Ministry will work – each in its area of responsibility – without
additional delay toward the decontamination."Further south, at its Givon
plant near Ramle, IMI has been facing other serious problems since at least the
summer of 2005. At that time, the Water Authority detected the presence of
perchlorate – a toxic salt that frequently contaminates public water systems
around the world – in water wells used for irrigation in the hills west of the
factory, according to the state comptroller.The rate of contamination
spread was very rapid, with the toxin flowing from Givon toward the
drinking-water production wells in eastern Rehovot.Equally problematic
is the fact that the contaminated water is being used to irrigate orange trees
in the area, and the state comptroller warned that farmers must immediately
cease using this water.By the end of the audit in July 2012, the Water
Authority had not finished its pollution identification and demarcation efforts,
and therefore has been unable to provide a risk assessment or plan for
curtailing the spread, the audit said.Meanwhile, despite the fact that
the Environmental Protection Ministry received information about the groundwater
contamination originating from Givon, the office did take part in the case until
January 2011, the report added.Warning that the situation presents a
"danger to public health, damage to natural water sources that are scarce" and
will require expensive rehabilitation, the state comptroller demanded that
"every institution associated with the pollution caused to the land by IMI must
act immediately to prevent the continued spread of contamination."In
response to the state comptroller's recommendations, a statement from IMI said
that the company is "working on the issue of the environment, according to the
most stringent of standards customary of security companies in the Western
world."The Environmental Protection Ministry said that the Water
Authority is leading the treatment effort, and that the ministry has contacted
the authority many times to accelerate the effort.As the institution
that discovered the Givon infection, the Water Authority stressed that it is
"the only regulatory body acting to identify sources of pollution, conduct risk
assessments and perform detailed groundwater investigations toward preparing and
implementing rehabilitation plans."Because for decades various factories
have been polluting the environment and groundwater all over Israel, treatment
of the contaminants takes a long time and requires large budgets that are not
always readily available, the authority said.In addition to the focus on
the pollution caused by IMI, the IAI company likewise came under fire in the
state comptroller's report for failing to properly restrain contaminants from
flowing out of its own systems and causing damage to the Ben-Gurion Airport
wastewater treatment facility.Deviating from the mandated quality
standards for wastewater constitutes a violation of the business licenses
granted by the Interior Ministry's licensing authority, the audit
added.Only in early 2011 did the Environmental Protection Ministry
demand that IAI perform a comprehensive historical land survey, the state
comptroller said. Although IAI completed and submitted the survey to the
ministry in June 2011, by the end of the audit in July 2012, the ministry had
yet to finish its evaluations, according to the report. It is therefore
impossible to quantify the extent of the soil and groundwater contamination and
the accompanying environmental implications, the state comptroller explained.

Japan is so easy to explore
... t seem to fancy.
We felt very privileged and were treated very well in the ryokans, I'll miss Japan.
We also enjoyed the 7 samurai home village, with bonsai and the intriguing kanakasi airplane fighters museum with photos of all of them. They looked so young and an old man giving a talk about it, still a lot of interest, after all these decades. No photos allowed.
Hiroshima to Tsuwano
... place across the road so I darted off to buy some. Not as large and not as tasty as the ones at the roadside diner that Shigeki took us to.
We were back on board the SL Yamaguchi-go and left Tsuwano by 3.48pm. We got back to Shin-Yamaguchi station by 5.30pm to relieve Takako of her luggage sitting duties. We had to buy some dinner for the train ride to Kagoshima at the southern tip of Kyushu island. There wasn't much around the station as far as food was concerned. ...
Don't take your eyes off the volcano
... the shrines at the cemetery are all covered by individual roofs, even some of the livestock are under cover. It is extremely hot today and very humid , it had rained again overnight and was raining this morning when we woke up. Back to the ferry, it's time to get back to the shuttle and the ship. While we are looking at the volcano from the ferry, there is a big puff of grey smoke that billows into the air. That must have been a big burp! Back on the ship we are required ...

Forced Here but Loved the Place!
As the title suggests, my two Swiss friends and I were sort of forced to visit Kagoshima! Basically, Kagoshima was the only city in Kyushu which had any space in a hostel for three people during the time we wanted to visit Kyushu! In the end it worked out quite well because we wanted to visit Miyazaki and Nagasaki, so we thought we might as well start at Kagoshima and head North or as Drake puts it, start from ...

'Sun Don't Shine': Tale of lovers on the run sizzles
A movie review of "Sun Don't Shine," writer-director Amy Seimetz's sunny film noir about young lovers on the run.
Special to The Seattle Times
Movie Review
'Sun Don't Shine,' with Kate Lyn Sheil, Kentucker Audley, Kit Gwin. Written and directed by Amy Seimetz. 80 minutes. Not rated; for mature audiences (contains violence, profanity). Grand Illusion.
Writer-director Amy Seimetz's oddly sunny film noir is a classic tale of young lovers on the run, reminiscent in tone of the darkly comic moments in Terrence Malick's "Badlands."
Leo (Kentucker Audley) bites his nails as he tells his girlfriend, Crystal (Kate Lyn Sheil), to act "normal" when a police car seems to follow them. Meanwhile, as they try to dispose of the body they've stuffed in the trunk, she talks blandly about grocery shopping and swimming pools.
They're taking a four-hour trip through Florida and the Everglades, partly to see his ex-girlfriend, Terri (Kit Gwin). Leo is somehow convinced she will help them, though the intensely jealous Crystal is not in control of her emotions and is clearly waiting for an opportunity to make a scene.
Best-known as the star of "Upstream Color," Seimetz proves herself an astonishingly intuitive filmmaker. In addition to the remarkable performances she's drawn from Audley and Sheil, she uses close-ups with an instinct that's a little unnerving.
The opening shot, which suggests that Leo is on the verge of strangling Crystal, is typical of what's to follow. We're never quite sure how these characters will behave, or what detour they'll take when faced with an unexpected development on the highway.
Seimetz zooms in at particularly telling moments, when Crystal is at her most vulnerable or Leo is adjusting his plans to accommodate her. Improvised or not, they manage to hint that we're watching something that's no longer "just" fiction.

Keith Kicks Off Tour
Keith Urban launches his "Love, Pain & the whole crazy world tour" in Munich, Germany, Thursday, April 19.
Keith tells Dial-Global that he's looking forward to seeing his fans overseas. "Europe's been really good to us, and Germany in particular," Keith says. "This will be our third or fourth trip there now." Keith adds that he often has to adjust his set list when playing for European fans, sticking mostly with playing his hit singles. Keith will make three stops in Germany before heading to the UK and Australia. The U.S. portion of the tour begins in Phoenix, June 8.

The Stuarts - Great Plague 1665
Bubonic Plague, known as the Black Death, first hit the British Isles in 1348, killing nearly a third of the population. Although regular outbreaks of the plague had occurred since, the outbreak of 1665 was the worst case since 1348.
London - 1665
- 100,000 people - Dead!
- 40,000 dogs - destroyed!
- 200,000 cats - destroyed!
London had changed little since this engraving was made in 1480. Houses were tightly packed together and conditions insanitary - ideal conditions for the plague to spread, particularly during the hot summer of 1665.
Spring 1665
When plague broke out in Holland in 1663, Charles II stopped trading with the country in an attempt to prevent plague infested rats arriving in London. However, despite these precautions, plague broke out in the capital in the Spring of 1665. Spread by the blood-sucking fleas that lived on the black rat.
June 1665
The Summer of 1665 was one of the hottest summers recorded and the numbers dying from plague rose rapidly. People began to panic and the rich fled the capital. By June it was necessary to have a certificate of health in order to travel or enter another town or city and forgers made a fortune issuing counterfeit certificates.
July 1665
The temperature and the numbers of deaths continued to rise. The Lord Mayor of London, desperate to be seen to be doing something, heard rumours that it was the stray dogs and cats on the streets that were spreading the disease and ordered them to be destroyed. This action unwittingly caused the numbers of deaths to rise still further since there were no stray dogs and cats to kill the rats.
Bring out your dead!
Those houses that contained plague victims were marked with a red cross. People only ventured into the streets when absolutely necessary preferring the 'safety' of their own homes. Carts were driven through the streets at night. The driver's call of 'bring out yer dead' was a cue for those with a death in the house to bring the body out and place it onto the cart. Bodies were then buried in mass graves.
November 1665
The numbers of deaths from the plague reached a peak in August and September of 1665. However, it was November and the onset of cold weather that brought a drastic reduction in the number of deaths. Charles II did not consider it safe to return to the capital until February 1666.

Check Out These Hilarious 'Parkering' Photos Thanks to Tony Parker's Injury
"Parkering" Blows Up After Game 2 Between Spurs and Heat
LeBron James was the butt of all jokes after Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs for leaving early while battling cramps. Now, it appears Tony Parker has made us all forget about "LeBroning" after he was injured in Game 2 with "Parkering"--the latest trend.
Ladies and gentlemen--I give you the best of "Parkering" photos from the internet. You're welcome in advance.
Nice sleeping pants, bro.
It's a little funny how this Heat fan is trying so hard not to smile in this picture.
That tile floor can't be too comfortable!
As funny as this photo is, the funniest part of this photo is the socks and crocs combo this guy is wearing.
Look at this outfit--this is what you call a dedicated Heat fan. Nothing but respect for this guy!
This guy took the time to Parker at the airport--which is nothing short of awesome.
Even the females got in on the Parkering action--and to top it off with the sucking on the thumb like a baby is hysterical.
Parkering on top of a refrigerator--genius.
It's tough to say which one is more funny--the refrigerator or the washing machine. #Parkering.
Chances are this dog was Parkering even before Game 2 started, but this is still hilarious.
Even this guy can't hold back on the laughter from "Parkering" after Game 2.
Even if he's not fully doing it right since he's sitting up, the facial expression on this Heat fan's face was too funny not to share.
This poor guy couldn't even make it to his bed!
This guy managed to climb on top of his roof just so he could take a picture of himself Parkering--amazing.
For his sake, let's hope this guy wasn't using that little pink chair to watch Game 2. #Parkering

Ruby Princess Cruise Review by tnilinger: Ruby Cruise - No Noro, but no sleep!

Compare Prices on Ruby Princess Eastern Caribbean Cruises
Ruby Cruise - No Noro, but no sleep!
First, as others have commented, there was a lot of fear of the Norovirus going into this cruise. While some of the precautions that Princess took were a little inconvenient, I felt that was minor compared to those on the Crown the same week that had to come back early because so many people had gotten sick.
My wife and I love to cruise and we really like Princess. We feel it is a middle-of-the-road line between Carnival's main brand (Carnival) and the more upscale and expensive Oceania. We have also sailed another Carnival line (Holland) and liked it as well. Although the smallness of the ship (Veendam) makes for a less smooth sailing.
This particular cruise was a lot of fun. We had two other couples join us, one that actually got engaged while on this cruise! We truly enjoyed every port.
The food on the Ruby was good. The main dining area, as you would expect with this many people on board, is crowded and noisy. But I felt the food itself was very More good.
Sabatini's and the Crown Grill are excellent alternative dining choices and worth every penny you spend for the experience.
My only problem with the entire cruise is the placement of the penthouse suites, which is directly below the Lido pool area. It is almost impossible to get a good nights sleep with all the traffic, partying, and noise from deck furniture above you. I felt that we overpaid considerably for rooms in such a poor location. The cabin itself is very nice and has a great deck...it's only its location that makes it unattractive. So, for anyone booking a PH level cabin on Princess (or any other line for that matter) make sure you check out the spaces above and below first. Less

'So many people are so devastated'
As Picher residents searched Monday for their lost belongings in the rubble left by Saturday's tornado, they faced a unique barrier to recovery: They can't go back.
The future: With a federal buyout in progress, many storm victims don't know what the future holds, but they know it won't be in Picher. They say rebuilding would be foolish. "So many people are so devastated," said the mayor, a victim himself. Picking up the pieces: Some Picher residents returned to their homes Monday, searching through the rubble for pictures and answers. The victims: Names provided by the state medical examiner's office. •Samuel Don Berry, 20, Picher. •Tracie Dawn Berry, 19, Picher. •Darrell Edward Patterson II, 28, Wagoner. •Chizuri Cox, 80, Picher. •Mistie Dawn Kelley, 30, Picher. •Linda Christine Mathis, 48, Picher. •The name of a seventh confirmed fatality was not released. Guest book for Picher tornado victims Slideshow: Picher Tornado May 10, 2008
Chat piles loom Monday behind the ruins of Saturday's tornado in Picher. Federal officials took tests Monday to see whether the twister kicked up dangerous amounts of toxic dust. By John Clanton, THE OKLAHOMAN

self-abasingSyllabification: self-a·bas·ing
Definition of self-abasing in English:
Belittling or degrading oneself: a timid, defensive, self-abasing response
More example sentences
- Vegans and vegetarians may be so sensitive to the stereotype of annoying militant radical that we remain a little shy, or a little self-abasing, about our diet and lifestyle ethics.
- The self-abasing masochist anthem "Nothing" is spoilt by the unnecessary elongation of a vocal chant coda.
- The distrustful, the self-abasing, the mendicant flatterers, and above all the liars: it is a fundamental belief of all aristocrats that the common people are untruthful.

Castle Rock was ranked No. 6 on the Gadberry Group's "8 from 2008" list of high-growth areas in the United States.
Gadberry, based in Little Rock, Ark., ranked municipalities on census data, weighing growth from 2000 to 2008, as well as from 2007 to 2008. The company also weighted the rankings using some demographic factors, such as ethnicity, household income, net worth, economic stability, length of residence and age.
Gadberry said Castle Rock grew from 9,936 households in 2000 to 24,584 in 2008, by 147 percent.
In order, the top eight were Queen Creek, Ariz.; Enterprise, Nev.; Helotes, Texas; Wesley Chapel, Fla.; Indian Trail, N.C.; Castle Rock; Elk Grove, Calif.; and New Orleans.

Publication Date : 14-05-2012
An increasing number of people in Western countries view China's influence in a favourable light, according to a BBC World Service poll published on Friday.
The percentage of people in the United Kingdom who view China's influence as positive grew from 38 per cent in 2011 to 57 per cent in 2012. Similar increases were reported in Australia (43 to 61 per cent), Canada (35 to 53 per cent) and Germany (24 to 42 per cent).
In the United States, the percentage of people holding negative views of China dropped from 51 per cent to 46 per cent during the same period, and the number of people holding positive views of the country increased from 42 to 46 per cent.
Fifty per cent of the people interviewed for the poll regard China as having a positive influence on the world, up 6 percentage points from 2011. The percentage of people who view China's influence as positive has increased in each of the last three years.
People from Africa, Asia and Latin American countries were more likely to have favourable opinions of China, while people in major Western countries tend to have negative opinions.
The survey was conducted for the BBC World Service by the international polling firm GlobeScan, its research partners across the world and the Programme on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland in the United States.
A total of 24,090 people from 22 countries including the US, the UK, China and Egypt were interviewed face-to-face or by telephone between Dec 6, 2011 and Feb 17.
While favourable opinions of China have increased dramatically in Western countries, some of China's neighbours and emerging countries still hold negative opinions on the country's influence on the world.
According to the poll, 64 per cent of people in South Korea have a negative opinion of China, up 11 percentage points from 2011. One out of every two Japanese have negative views of the country, compared to just one out of 10 in 2011.
The trend is similar in emerging countries such as Brazil, where the percentage of people with favourable opinions of China dropped from 55 to 48 per cent, and Russia (52 to 46 per cent).
The more favourable image of China among Western countries shows that these countries need China more than ever to solve their economic problems, said Su Hao, an expert on international affairs with China Foreign Affairs University in Beijing.
"People from Western countries themselves have benefited from cheap Chinese products with relative good quality. The Chinese products are more appropriate to meet their needs," Su said.
"It is Chinese economic assistance to these countries and their closer economic ties with China that have improved China's popularity in these countries."
The negative opinions of China in neighbouring countries is due to maritime disputes and sensitive issues such as the confrontation between a Chinese captain and South Korean coastguard officers, Su added.
China's economy is more complementary with Western countries, and more competitive with emerging markets, which explains the decrease in positive views of China in some emerging countries, said Jin Canrong, an expert on international relations with Renmin University of China.
Both Su and Jin warned that the poll is based on people's perceptual knowledge of China and does not reflect the practical ties between China and relevant countries.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Talking tough, Kerry rejects Syria's offer on chemical weapons in opening meeting with Russia
GENEVA - Striking a tough tone, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry opened swiftly convened talks with Russia on Syria's chemical weapons Thursday by bluntly rejecting a Syrian pledge to begin a "standard process" by turning over information rather than weapons — and nothing immediately.
That won't do, Kerry declared at an opening news conference, a stone-faced Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at his side. "The words of the Syrian regime in our judgment are simply not enough."
"This is not a game," Kerry said of the latest developments in a series that has rapidly gone from deadly chemical attacks to threats of retaliatory U.S. air strikes to Syrian agreement with a Russian plan to turn over the weapons and, finally, to the crucial matter of working out the difficult details.
"We believe there is nothing standard about this process at this moment because of the way the regime has behaved," Kerry declared. And he kept alive the threat of U.S. military action, saying the turnover of weapons must be complete, verifiable and timely — "and finally, there ought to consequences if it doesn't take place."
Adding to the drama, Russian President Vladimir Putin weighed in from afar, raising eyebrows with an opinion piece in The New York Times that chided Americans for seeing themselves as "exceptional." That was an apparent reference to a comment President Barack Obama made in his Syria speech Tuesday night, explaining why he felt the U.S. needed to take action. Congress has shown little inclination to authorize military action, and a vote on that has been put off.
Putin also warned that a U.S. strike against Syria because of chemical weapons use could unleash new terrorist attacks. And he still maintained there is "every reason to believe" the weapons were used by rebels and not by Assad's military. In Washington, Obama's spokesman said Russia was "isolated and alone" in that view.
Obama, for his part, said simply that he was hoping for "a concrete result" from the talks.
The back-and-forth was a stark indication of the challenging work ahead as Kerry, Lavrov and their teams of chemical weapons experts plunge into talks aimed at finding agreement on how to dismantle the chemical weapons amid the confusion and danger of Syria's civil war.
Lavrov seemed to contradict Kerry's negative view of Syrian President Bashar Assad's offer to provide details on his country's chemical arsenal beginning 30 days after it signs an international convention banning such weapons. Syria's ambassador to the United Nations said that as of Thursday his country had become a full member of the treaty, which requires destruction of all chemical weapons. However, the United Nations said it will take at least another 30 days.
The Russian said the initiative must proceed "in strict compliance with the rules that are established by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons." That suggests Russia does not agree with the U.S. that this is an exceptional case and that Syria should face tougher standards than other countries.
"We proceed from the fact that the solution to this problem will make unnecessary any strike on the Syrian Arab Republic, and I am convinced that our American colleagues, as President Obama stated, are firmly convinced that we should follow a peaceful way of resolution to the conflict in Syria." Lavrov said.
The distrust in U.S.-Russia relations was on display even in an off-hand parting exchange at the news conference.
Just before it ended, Kerry asked the Russian translator to repeat part of Lavrov's concluding remarks.
When it was clear that Kerry wasn't going to get an immediate re-translation, Lavrov apparently tried to assure him that he hadn't said anything controversial. "It was OK, John, don't worry," he said.
"You want me to take your word for it?" Kerry asked Lavrov. "It's a little early for that."
They were smiling at that point.
Shortly after making their opening statements, the two went into a private dinner. Talks were to resume Friday.
The meetings in Geneva got underway as Assad, in an interview with Russia's Rossiya-24 TV, said his government would start submitting data on its chemical weapons stockpile a month after signing the convention. He also said the Russian proposal for securing the weapons could work only if the U.S. halted threats of military action.
But Kerry, who met earlier Thursday with Lakhdar Brahimi, the U.N.-Arab League envoy for Syria, made clear the threat remains.
"President Obama has been clear that should diplomacy fail, force might be necessary to deter and degrade Assad's capacity to deliver these weapons," he said. "It won't get rid of them, but it could change his willingness to use them."
Even as diplomacy took centre stage, word surfaced that the CIA has been delivering light machine-guns and other small arms to Syrian rebels for several weeks, following Obama's statement in June that he would provide lethal aid to the rebels.
The U.S. is hoping that an acceptable agreement with the Russians can be part of a binding new U.N. Security Council resolution being negotiated that demands that Syria's chemical weapons be put under international control and dismantled and condemns the Aug. 21 attack that led to the current crisis. Russia has long opposed U.N. action on Syria, has vetoed three earlier resolutions and has not indicated it is willing to go along with one now.
As for arming the Syrian rebels, White House National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said the administration could not "detail every single type of support that we are providing to the opposition or discuss timelines for delivery, but it's important to note that both the political and the military opposition are and will be receiving this assistance."
Current and former U.S. intelligence officials said the CIA has arranged for the Syrian opposition to receive anti-tank weaponry such as rocket-propelled grenades through a third party, presumably one of the Gulf countries that have been arming the rebels. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the classified program publicly.
Loay al-Mikdad, a spokesman for the Free Syrian Army, told The Associated Press that his group expected to receive weapons in the near future.
"We are co-operating with the American administration and have been receiving some logistical and technical assistance and there are commitments by the administration to arm us but until now we have not received any weapons," al-Mikdad said by telephone.
The U.S. officials said the aid has been arriving for more than a month.
The U.S. team with Kerry in Geneva includes officials who worked on inspection and removal of unconventional weapons from Libya after 2003 and in Iraq after the first Gulf War. Officials with Kerry said the teams that eventually go into Syria would have to be an international mix.
The meetings are taking place in the same hotel where former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2009 gave Lavrov a symbolic "reset button" as a goodwill gesture and a reminder of the Obama administration's efforts to improve U.S.-Russian relations.
Benac reported from Washington. Associated Press writers Alan Fram and Kimberly Dozier in Washington, Vladimir Isachenkov in Moscow, Edith M. Lederer at the United Nations and Barbara Surk and Zeina Karam in Beirut contributed to this report.

KAJ will want to see how the new hotel performs in its first year before making that decision, Johnson said.
"In a year, we're all going to know a lot more about what's going on," he said, referring to specifics for the STAR bond project and others in the area.
In the meantime, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites will complement Staybridge, which focuses on extended stays, he said.
"We're loving Wichita," Kevin Johnson said.
The hotel's general contractor and designer is Puetz Corp. of Mitchell, S.D.
"It's our intention to basically hire all local people" for the project, said Jerry Claseman, project coordinator for Puetz.
CorTrust Bank of South Dakota is providing financing.
John Stearns covers real estate, development and banking.

Fed Crackdown on Gibson Guitar Explained
Now we know why the Obama Regime put its "boot on the neck" of Gibson Guitar. It isn't about building guitars from oppressed wood; it's about politics:
One of Gibson's leading competitors is C.F. Martin & Company. The C.E.O., Chris Martin IV, is a long-time Democratic supporter, with $35,400 in contributions to Democratic candidates and the DNC over the past couple of election cycles. According to C.F. Martin's catalog, several of their guitars contain "East Indian Rosewood." In case you were wondering, that is the exact same wood in at least ten of Gibson's guitars.
As for Gibson's political support,
Henry E. Juszkiewicz, Gibson's Chief Executive Officer, is a donor to a couple of Republican politicians. According to the Open Secrets database, Juszkiewicz donated $2000 to Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN07) last year, as well as $1500 each to Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN). Juszkiewicz also has donated $10,000 to the Consumer Electronics Association, a PAC that contributed $92.5k to Republican candidates last year, as opposed to $72k to Democrats.
The raid served no legitimate purpose. Gibson was not even accused of violating any American law, but was shut down by armed storm troopers for allegedly violating picayune procedures India wants people to follow regarding the nationality of those who work with certain wood. Indian officials have better things to do that prosecute such cases, but not our Injustice Department, which is heeding Comrade Obama's call to "punish our enemies."
The bigger government gets, the more inevitable this sort of tyranny becomes.
