|Important: hardware and app deprecation for 2015
Source: GPUGrid
lundi 6 octobre 2014 15:56
Hi, With the arrival of Maxwell, we are now supporting 4 generations of hardware, and 6 separate builds of our application on 2 platforms. This is starting to tax our resources, so some rationalisation is required. I therefore propose the following: * Remove support for SM1.3 Geforce 200 series cards contribute rather less than 1% of our capacity and, furthermore, lack hardware features that we want to use in future development work. * Discontinue CUDA 4.2 We need CUDA 6 to properly support the new Maxwell, so I'll be retiring the old CUDA 4.2 build. If you are still receiving version 4.2 WUs, please consider updating your driver 343 or above. These changes will take effect from January 2015 Matt

WE walk around with computers in our pockets. At a moment's notice, you can find the address of the nearest Chinese restaurant, learn whether snow is in tomorrow's forecast, or get a reminder of how to calculate circumference in case of a geometry memory failure.
The truth is we don't generally have an urgent need for all of the information now at our fingertips. We have, however, come to expect it. As they always have, schools are playing a furious game of catch-up, trying to figure out how to harness the power of technology to improve student learning.
Patrons of Putnam City Public Schools will vote next month on a $6 million bond issue dedicated exclusively to technology. If approved, the district plans to buy 10,000 iPads for distribution across the district. The money also would pay for technology for special-needs students and projection equipment for some schools.
The bond proposal follows a privately funded effort last year to provide iPads and related teacher training to some of the district's fifth-grade classrooms. The effort got rave reviews from teachers.
Tulsa Public Schools may not be far behind in putting forth a technology-centered bond issue. A survey of teachers rated the district's technology as "less than acceptable" while describing the importance of classroom technology as "very important" for student achievement. Teachers responded they want Internet access for all classroom computers, a printer/copier/fax/scanner, an iPad for each teacher; a laptop for each student desk or table, and electronic textbooks.
Tulsa teachers are concerned the district is lagging its suburban counterparts in technology. A committee is using the survey feedback in formulating a bond proposal.
"I have long suspected that there are growing disparities in the availability of technology resources at TPS when compared with neighboring school districts. Our students will pay a heavy price if we don't do something to catch up," Tulsa schools Superintendent Keith Ballard said. "With the right tools, I believe our teachers can leverage classroom technology to improve student performance and substantially improve achievement."

Rafiq Habib, a Christian thinker and researcher, is now the acting chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), a leading FJP figures has announced.
Amr Darag, who was the planning and international cooperation minister under ousted president Mohamed Morsi, said Habib, the FJP vice chairman, is now serving as the acting chairman.
"This does not mean that the FJP has elected a new chairman to replace its chairman Saad al-Katatni who is currently in detention," Darag told Anadolu Agency.
"The election of a new chairman is the sole responsibility of the FJP general conference which has not met in the first place," he insisted.
Al-Katatni, also the former parliament speaker, is among 12 leading Muslim Brotherhood members referred to criminal court on charges of "inciting violence and murder" in connection with June 30 clashes outside the MB's headquarters in Cairo's Moqattam district in which ten people were killed.
"Al-Katatni remains the chairman of the FJP, but the party's bylaws stipulate that if the chairman is unable to attend his duties one of his deputies act in his place until his return," Darag explained.
Al-Katatni had two deputies, namely Essam al-Erian and Habib.
"Since al-Erian is being hunted down by security authorities, Habib automatically became the acting chairman of the FJP," Darag said.
He denied reports that Habib had resigned from the FJP.
This makes Habib, an Evangelical, the first Christian to chair an Islamist party, even if temporarily.

Read: John Moore could be in line for a long suspension
John Moore has his hearing with the NHL at the NHL office this afternoon to discuss his hit on Erik Haula Monday night.
Because Moore was offered an in-person hearing the league has the option to suspend him for 6 or more games.
Asked about John Moore and being a repeat offender, Pierre LeBrun on TSN 690 last night, "that is precisely why I think he is in trouble. Because of the recent history and the dangerous hit, one of the things that player safety, at least under Shanny, is trying to curb your behavior and if you keep ending up in our offices you aren't understanding out message so maybe we need to make the message stronger. Aside from the fact that John Moore's hit last night was pretty dangerous, I think the fact that he just had a dangerous hit in the playoffs and he is already back in the hot chair, I think that is why I think he is facing between 4 and 7 games."

Bobby Bland: Blues and soul singer whose work inspired Van Morrison and Eric Clapton
Tuesday 25 June 2013
Described by his friend and contemporary BB King as possessing "a voice as soft as silk", the singer Bobby "Blue" Bland created a delicate blend of the blues, gospel and soul genres and influenced Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding and many performers of the rock era. Eric Clapton made the blues shuffle of "Farther Up The Road" (Bland's first US R&B chart-topper in 1957) a mainstay of his repertoire, while David Bowie covered "I Pity The Fool", Bland's second US R&B chart-topper, from 1961, with the Manish Boys for his second single in 1965. Van Morrison's version of Bland's "Turn On Your Love Light", meanwhile, earned Them a record deal.
Most famously, in the mid-1970s, Bland originated "Ain't No Love", a song whose emphasis has shifted away from its original lovelorn message and taken on greater import as a comment on the plight of inner cities. It has been recorded by myriad acts, including Whitesnake, Paul Weller and Paul Carrack, reworked by Kanye West into "Heart Of A City (Ain't No Love)" for Jay-Z's 2001 album The Blueprint and has featured in film soundtracks, most recently in the title sequence of The Lincoln Lawyer, the 2011 drama starring Matthew McConaughey.
In 2008 the Simply Red frontman Mick Hucknall issued a Tribute To Bobby album which introduced Bland and many of the songs associated with him to a wider audience.
Born Robert Calvin Brooks in Millington, Tennessee in 1930, he barely knew his natural father, who abandoned the family when he was an infant. He became known as Bobby Bland after his stepfather Leroy Bland, whom his mother married when he was six. He dropped out of school to pick cotton before he hit his teens.
Drawn to the blues of T-Bone Walker – whose "Call It Stormy Monday (But Tuesday Is Just as Bad)", aka "Stormy Monday", he would later record – he also sang gospel in church. Following a move to Memphis in 1947, he worked in a garage and joined a gospel group, The Miniatures. He became a regular on Beale Street, the hotbed of the Memphis Blues scene, and began performing with the Beale Streeters, a loose conglomerate including Earl Forest as well as Rosco Gordon and BB King, two artists he would subsequently chauffeur and valet for.
He toured with the Johnny Ace Revue and issued several sides on Chess and Duke, some cut at Sun Studios with Sam Philips producing, before being drafted. In 1956, he resumed his career on Duke, now owned by the nefarious Houston entrepreneur Don Robey, notorious for claiming authorship of material and using intimidation.
Combining the roles of chauffeur, valet and opening act, Bland nevertheless blossomed on the road with Junior Parker. Their Blues Consolidated Revue became a popular draw on the chitlin' circuit of the South and helped establish Bland. He shook off King's influence and began developing a more versatile vocal style combining the smoothness and sophistication of a Nat "King" Cole with a raucous delivery that owed a debt to the sermons of the Reverend CL Franklin – "Aretha's dad," as he told the author Peter Guralnick in 1979. "That's where I got my squall from," he said referring to the roaring on 1958's "Little Boy Blue" that would become his trademark and earn him the "Lion of the Blues" sobriquet. "After I had that, I lost the high falsetto. I had to get some other kind of gimmick to be identified with."
Bland's warm and soulful phrasing mirrored the tension between religious and secular music that typified many of the African-American singers who followed in his foosteps. His baritone conveyed yearning and vulnerability and made the most of the superlative material tailor-made for him by the trumpet player, arranger, songwriter and Duke A&R director Joe Scott.
Between 1958 and 1968, the partnership produced over 30 singles that made the R&B charts, and, in the case of a dozen including "Farther Up The Road", "I'll Take Care Of You", "Cry, Cry, Cry", "I Pity The Fool" and "Sometimes You Gotta Cry A Little", crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100. However, Bland's punishing schedule –up to 300 concerts a year throughout most of the 1960s – and his struggles with alcoholism, took their toll.
Following the sale of Duke to ABC-Dunhill in 1972 he hit a purple patch with a series of critically-acclaimed recordings – His California Album, Dreamer, Reflections In Blue – made with the best Los Angeles session men. Two joint albums and appearances with King on the epochal TV show Soul Train helped broaden Bland's reach and appeal, while the Grateful Dead turned "Love Light" into the centrepiece of many of their epic concerts.
Van Morrison also enthused about Bland: "an individual stylist. I can't put into words the phrasing and the way he interprets a song." Morrison covered Bland's "Ain't Nothin' You Can Do" on It's Too Late To Stop Now, his 1974 live album, and recorded a duet of his own composition, "Tupelo Honey", with him in 2000. That year, Morrison enlisted Bland and Chris Farlowe, another Bland disciple since the 1960s, for two fondly remembered dates at the Albert Hall.
By then, Bland had enjoyed another renaissance under the auspices of Malaco Records, who brought him to Europe in 1989 on a package tour captured on an excellent Blues From The Montreux Jazz Festival set. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, Bland began using a wheelchair in 2008 but would still stand during live performances.
"I flew over to Memphis to meet Bobby in 2007. I'd just recorded my Tribute To Bobby album and he was as keen to be part of the project as I was to meet him," Mick Hucknall recalled. "We'd already had contributions from BB King and Van Morrison so it was the icing on the cake to have Bobby involved as well.
"Bobby was a truly great singer. You felt he was telling you the truth. Bittersweet revenge and retribution peppered his lyrics. Here was a man who had been hurt in love, and he expressed that better than any singer I know of. His vocal delivery had touches of jazz which set him apart from many others. We spent a wonderful day together, culminating in a memorable dinner full of stories and memories of other R&B singers who would frequently cross paths on the chitlin circuit.
"I was lucky enough to see him perform here in the UK as the opening act for Van a few years earlier. I flew over from Milan just to see him. Only Marvin Gaye means more to me as a singer, such was the brilliance of The Lion of the Blues."

Thought for the Day
The G20 has come to Australia and gone again. I saw nice huggy pictures of Koala bears looking bored with life and various people enjoying their photo opportunities.
Putin arrived with the Russian fleet out in the Pacific off the coast. I saw a psychological analysis of the handshake between Putin and Obama where Putin's hand was very strongly on top of Obama's hand rather than side by side as normal. Was Obama "getting the message"?
Probably, since he gave a speech castigating Putin for his part in doing nasty things to Ukraine, in spite of Russia supplying $25 billion this year and gas worth $5 billion for which they have not been paid. And they are still supplying gas.
America supplied "regime change", with Victoria Nuland leading the charge of neo-nazis organised by the CIA to oust a democratically elected leader on the 22nd of February 2014. Since then the country has "progressed" in much the same way as other lucky countries getting the American regime change. Think Libya and Iraq.
I am reminded that Napoleon was quoted as saying, China is a sleeping giant. Let her sleep, for when she wakes she will move the world.
Now China is awake and aware of the ways of the Western world. China is pursuing commercial relationships with all countries. Remember that we were one of the first to sign up a free trade agreement with China. If the whole world can learn a lesson here we will all be much wealthier than if we waste our time fighting for control over our neighbours.
I wonder how the Agreement with China compares with the upcoming Free Trade Agreement with America. It would be interesting to get a comparison.
Meanwhile, the world continues down the path selected by the people in charge. I hope you are ready for the result.

Hattiesburg, MS (Sports Network) - All five starters scored in double figures for Southern Miss as the Golden Eagles posted a 78-71 victory over the Charleston Southern Buccaneers in the first round of the National Invitational Tournament at Reed Green Coliseum.
Jonathan Mills had 16 points and nine rebounds to pace Southern Miss (26-9) which will take on Louisiana Tech in the second round. Dwayne Davis added 15 points, Jerrold Brooks netted 14 and Neil Watson and Daveon Boardingham each chipped in 10.
Saah Nimley had a game-high 24 points, Arlon Harper added 18 and Mathiang Muo registered 16 for Charleston Southern (19-13).
Despite shooting 50 percent from the field and holding Charleston Southern to 33.3 percent, the Golden Eagles held just a 36-32 lead at halftime. The Buccaneers stayed close by hitting 8-of-13 tries from the free-throw line.
Southern Miss improved to 62.5 percent shooting in the second half and made good on 8-of-11 from the free-throw line to seal the victory. Charleston Southern hung around by hitting eight shots from beyond the arc but shot 42.4 percent in the period overall and got just three points from the charity stripe.
The Golden Eagles outscored the Buccaneers 30-14 in the paint and 18-11 off turnovers.

Rick Smith doesn't 'want to bring the circus to town.' Terry McCormick
When Matt Schaub was lost for the season just before their bye week, the Houston Texans quickly shot down any talk of Brett Favre coming out of retirement to play for them.
Now that backup Matt Leinart is likely out for the year with a broken collarbone, Texans general manager Rick Smith is again resisting the temptation to pursue Favre, saying, "I don't want to bring the circus to town" to Peter King of Sports Illustrated.
Smith is right in that regard, that if Favre decided to come back, it would defnitely be a circus atmosphere, and probably not something that would necessarily be healthy for a Texans team that is still learning to win and is currently in line for its first-ever playoff berth in leading the AFC South.
The Texans will roll with rookie T.J. Yates as the starter for now, and they signed Kellen Clemens last week when they put Schaub on IR. Now, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle speculates that former Kansas City Chief Brodie Croyle might be next to receive a phone call from the Texans.
As green as Yates is, the Texans probably need to do everything in their power to keep him healthier than their last two quarterbacks because no matter how much talent is around, the track records of Clemens and Croyle (if signed) don't exactly lead anyone to believe that a deep playoff run would be in the cards if they have to go under center.

Bradley Arant Boult Cummings expanding Nashville office

Bradley Arant Boult Cummings, Nashville's third-largest law firm, is expanding its office on the Music Row Roundabout by 12,500 square feet to accommodate growth at the firm.
According to Bob Patterson, partner at the Birmingham-based firm's Nashville office, the firm will expand into the sixth floor of Roundabout Plaza, where it currently occupies the seventh, eighth and ninth floors. The law firm has been in the building since 2004.
"We are basically out of space, so we have to add more," Patterson said. The firm is in the early stages of meeting with architects and contractors, and plans to redesign the space to match its other floors. Construction is expected to start around May 1, with the hope that the firm can begin using the space by September.
The firm currently employs 102 attorneys in its Nashville practice, but has immediate and long-term plans to grow.
"We've been really fortunate, and our firm has done really well, especially the Nashville office," Patterson said. "We know we need to add four or five attorneys immediately, but can't tell you how quickly we will grow after that."
The Nashville office's fastest-growing sectors include health care, litigation and real estate, Patterson said.

Toronto house prices expected to cool through autumn
Still, the average price for a home in the city is expected to hit $463,500 by year-end, up 7.2 per cent.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Toronto's overheated real estate market is expected to cool through the fall and winter, which should ease bidding wars and lead to more moderate price increases into 2012, says a CMHC housing market outlook released Wednesday.
Affordability is becoming such a concern, especially in overheated markets like Toronto, that the report predicts higher demand for rental apartments and condos by aspiring first-time buyers who are finding themselves priced out of the market.
The average price for a Toronto home is expected to hit $463,500 by year-end, up 7.2 per cent from last year.
Shaun Hildebrand, the federal housing agency's Toronto market analyst, said most of the gains in the market have already occurred, thanks to two factors: low interest rates fuelling a surge of spring and early summer sales, and the rush by first-time buyers early in the year to beat the introduction of tighter lending rules.
"Prices will be treading water for the next few quarters," he said. "We're seeing sales levels start to moderate. We're seeing new listings start to catch up to demand, and that's going to create more balanced market conditions. Prices won't be growing as quickly as they were."
Hildebrand cautioned that the one sector most at risk of a downturn in coming months is high-end housing, especially if stock market volatility and global economic uncertainty starts translating into job losses.
The unusually high demand for upper-end homes has skewed the average Toronto home price higher than had been expected for the year, the report noted.
"With the recent heightened uncertainty in the global economy and financial markets, you could see reduced demand for bigger ticket items," said Hildebrand. "We're watching the August market numbers to see if that's happening."
New housing starts are also expected to slow somewhat in the fall before resuming their growth late next year, the report said.
CMHC revised its forecast for Ontario slightly upward, citing a rosier job picture and a stronger housing market than originally expected in the first half of this year.
Some 191,900 existing homes are expected to change hands by the end of this year, and new housing starts should hit 62,400 units, higher than had been expected.
Canada-wide, the average MLS price of a home is expected to be $365,400 this year and $372,500 in 2012.

We present a model of the effects of legal protection of minority shareholders and of cash-flow ownership by a controlling shareholder on the valuation of firms. We then test this model using a sample of 539 large firms from 27 wealthy economies. Consistent with the model, we find evidence of higher valuation of firms in countries with better protection of minority shareholders and in firms with higher cash-flow ownership by the controlling shareholder.
