Cyclops writes in with this nice link about adopting orphan kittens.
By the way, my kitten (we're thinking of naming her Catastrophix;
looks like the parents are letting me keep her!) now eats solid food,
although she hasn't figured out how to drink water yet.
Mail works without a hitch now that I've set up a totally small-time
domain name server, but apparently, Microsoft Outlook 2000's shared
calendaring does not work as advertised. Argh. Must find another way
to do shared calendars. I'm already fine with using categories to keep
track of what resources are needed when, but I would really prefer a
native (not web-based) calendar application because of user interface
limitations for web-based apps.

Note: The satellite image contained on Google Maps for DP World Southampton was last updated in April 2007. DP World Southampton has since installed super post-panamax cranes. See the image below the overview for an updated view of the terminal.
DP World Southampton is the second largest container terminal in the UK and is operated as a joint venture between DP World (51%) and Associated British Ports (49%).
The terminal lies on the South coast of the UK and is an ideal location as the first or last European port of call, with minimal deviation from shipping lanes and easy access to the major UK consumer markets. The terminal is also well protected from prevailing winds with very little impact from the weather compared with other UK ports.
Covering a site of 88 ha, the terminal operates four deep water berths and one short-sea berth.The four deep water berths, 204 to 207, can accommodate vessels up to 370m length overall.
DP World Southampton has recently finished a programme of civil works to extend the wider gauge crane rail to the end of berth 204, which will enable the Liebherr super post-panamax cranes to operate along 80% of the terminal's deep water quay.

W Hotels are known for creating intensely chic environments that really allow a design theme to take over and get carried away. While not every W can be overtly over the top, the W Montreal is home to the "Wunderbar," a colorful space with plenty of soft sweeping light and undulating forms.
Brought to us from the minds of BPC, the space is dynamic and interchangeable with light in order to set a mood and create a great atmosphere depending on the DJ for the night and even holidays, events and more. The furniture is left to be simple and linear so as not to detract from the organic ceiling shapes, and with the flick of a switch you can be taken from a monochromatic world to a Candyland.

2001 Toyota RAV4 Base 4WD Review
Handling in adverse conditions. Cheap on fuel and maintenance. Fits small family perfectly. Over 140,000 miles when we sold it and still running strong, very reliable.
Road noise was a bit loud in the cab. The 4 cylinder lacked power going up very long, steep hills but still able to maintain 55mph.
The Rav4 Always Impressed Me. — If you've ever thought about owning one get down to a dealer and test drive one. You will be impressed with the amount of space they pack into that small SUV. You'll also find that it handles well. Go for the 6cylinder if you'll need the extra power, but you might find the 4cyl sufficient like I did. They are not for extreme off road but can handle just about anything you throw at them on pavement or dirt. We took it Christmas tree hunting one year (only 4inches of snow) and didn't have a problem on the poorly maintained forest roads. All in all, one of my favorite vehicles ever.

All-around excellence (fun to drive, good looking, reliable, comfortable, fuel efficient, etc.)
The rear gate "pops" everytime you open/close it
Love My Rav! — Surprisingly fun to drive: light steering with good feedback, smooth 5-speed stick, good clutch, peppy acceleration, great brakes, 4wd. Fresh looks inside and out. And of course, bullet-proof reliability. And fuel effecient (avg 24-25). i totally recommend this car! Drive one, you'll understand :)

28 mpg around town; handles well except in deep snow.
Low weekly use should not require wheel rotor replacement at 60K. Jerky 1st to 2nd gear. Rear seats must be manually removed. Noisy interior even on highway. Covered access to battery terminals a hindrance.
Former Cougar Owner; First Small Suv 2001 Rav4 — Still getting used to limited front seat space. Noisy engine on highway or with R.window down. Stiff ride. Latest R-trip 900 miles netted 34-35 mpg; 4 cyl.engine, 2WD, 5 stick-shift. Jerky 1st gear to 2nd. Just passed 60K miles, no daily job miles, but told wheel rotors are showing rust w/recommended front replacement est.$300. Strikes me as big negative since never had this problem with Ford/Merc's in 40 yrs. Orig. tires in snowstorm last winter, didn't tread inclines well. Anyone else???

Beginners Car, Small, Adaptable, High Suspension Clearance.
Not a race car. Lower cruse speed of 65 to actually be gas economic on highway.
Beginner Car That You Can Not Let Go. — Sporty four cylinder that has power. Has RPM gauge. No ABS. Handling has a little resistance but turns well. Can attempt drifts or has controlled accelerated turning. Four gears automatic and high RPM engine 65mph is under 2.5k RPM. Front wheel drive. Smaller then a sedan and shorter then a convertible but is taller, roomier with utility value. Don't know but it is around the 9000-16000 price range. For a good one more then 14000. 35 MPG ave highway. So easy to drive because of great visibility and compact with four doors interior bigger then a BMW 7 series with more seating space. Did I mention that it has semi recline-able back seats?

Does The Job, Nothing I Hate About It. Leather Seats Great With Kids, Just Wipe Clean. — Excellent. I am happy with it, does as a runner to the stables with bales of shavings in the back, back seat between headrest great saddle rack, and backseat headrests make good bridle hangars. Chloe takes up all of back seat with her stuff and carseat. Me and puppy up front. It also has x2 12v plugs one in boot which is handy so i can plug dvd in for her and free's up the ones at front for ipod and phone charger.

July 10 - FDIC Vice Chairman Thomas Hoenig released the following statement after the regulatory agencies announced a Basel III final rule and proposed a higher leverage ratio for the largest, international banks.
I wish to thank the many individuals from the U.S. and international communities involved in the Basel process for their efforts to improve the capital standard: its definition, measures of risk and levels of protection. I am particularly aware that our FDIC staff shared a heavy burden in the work, and they deserve our thanks.
Despite this impressive effort, I am able to support only one of the two proposals before us today.
It is often suggested that Basel III provides more and better capital than earlier versions of the Basel standards. However, this is not a worthy standard of comparison given Basel II's contribution to the last crisis. To compare nearly any standard to Basel II will show improvement.
I support more and better capital; however, the Basel III standard without a binding leverage constraint remains inadequate to the task of assuring the American public, who paid a high price for the financial crisis, that our capital standards are adequate to contribute to financial stability. A capital standard, to be useful, must be understandable and enforceable and must be sufficient to absorb unexpected loss. Unfortunately, the Basel III interim final rule, as proposed, fails to fully meet these criteria.
The interim final rule continues the disparity in capital requirements between and among banks, and affects operational and competitive positions within the financial industry. This disparity has been confirmed as recently as last week in a study released by the Basel Committee.
While Basel III strengthens the definition of capital, its primary reliance on a risk-weighted asset standard employs the same techniques as Basel II with ratios that remain unduly complex, difficult to compute and requiring a vast number of calculations just begging to be gamed. This result is well illustrated when considering that the percentage of risk-weighted assets to total assets for the world's largest banks has systematically declined almost since the introduction of the Basel standards. The result has been confusion instead of clarity among the public and among bank directors who have a responsibility to oversee these firms.
The supervisory world has been made aware through a growing body of research that risk-weighted capital measures correlate poorly with actual future losses, reflecting the reality that complexity does not assure predictability nor enable individuals to know in advance how risks will shift among assets. Despite these flaws, the interim final rule continues to rely on risk-based measures, ignoring the usefulness of the leverage ratio to constrain excess risk taking for the largest, most complex institutions.
To that point, Basel III provides for a 3 percent supplemental leverage ratio applicable to advanced approach firms. This ratio measures capital against total assets and a portion of off-balance sheet exposures. It is important to know that just prior to the crisis these firms held tangible capital averaging just under 3 percent of assets, an amount that proved woefully inadequate. That a 3 percent leverage ratio is too low was appropriately noted by the Board of Governors during its July 2 discussions of this topic.
Also, a wide variety of studies and data accumulated during the comment period provide further evidence of the significant contribution that a stronger leverage ratio would bring to these firms' balance sheets. Thus, failure to include an adequate leverage ratio in the interim final rule leaves a gaping hole in the Basel III standard that has been pointed out to policymakers for months.
Moreover, nothing is accomplished by acting now and failing to wait an extra 60 or 90 days to receive comment and then implement a complete rule with a stronger leverage ratio. All of the largest, most complex U.S. firms currently meet the requirements of the interim final rule. It does nothing in the interim to strengthen the balance sheets of U.S. banks. Thus, by separating the implementation of Basel III from the supplemental leverage ratio proposal, we gain little and risk a stronger leverage ratio being delayed, or worse, not being adopted.
In summary, I support the FDIC's leadership in proposing to raise the supplemental leverage ratio for the eight largest financial holding companies in the U.S. to 6 percent for the banks and 5 percent for the holding company. I also would encourage comment on whether these capital levels are sufficient. I cannot support the interim final rule because without a binding leverage ratio, it is incomplete and inadequate. You cannot have a strong capital standard without an adequate leverage ratio, and it should be part of any rule we adopt, even on an interim basis.
Finally, I have voiced my concerns with the inadequacies of Basel III and have advocated for a stronger leverage ratio over the past year in hopes of creating a capital program that serves the broader economy. My divided vote today signals my continued concern for what is left undone. I remain fully committed to engaging with my colleagues to strengthen U.S. capital standards and to ensure that promised improvements are realized.

WEDNESDAY, OCT. 23 (HealthDay News) -- Although traumatic
injuries can be even more dangerous for the elderly than for other
adults, these patients often do not receive the specialized care
they need, according to a new study.
Many older people with serious injuries are not taken to
designated trauma centers -- which are equipped with the technology
and tools doctors need to treat traumatic injuries -- to receive
specialized care, the researchers said. These patients have a
higher mortality rate after they are discharged from the hospital,
the study found.
"We're not sure why this is happening, but there is clearly a bias," study lead author Dr. Kristan Staudenmayer, assistant professor of surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, Calif., said in a news release from the American College of Surgeons. "They could be walking through the living room, trip, and fall. That [event] may not hurt a young person, but it can severely injure an elderly person, especially if that elderly person is frail and has a lot of other health conditions."
Unintentional falls are the most common cause of traumatic
injuries -- such as spine, hip and brain injuries -- among adults
older than 65, the researchers noted.
Without considering older people's underlying health conditions,
first responders may not realize the extent of their injuries, the
study authors said.
"Even if we know they have heart disease or another condition, that's not sufficient to tell us how strong or weak they are," said Staudenmayer. "I know plenty of people with diabetes who look pretty healthy."
The study, published in the October issue of the
Journal of the American College of Surgeons, involved
information compiled on more than 6,000 patients aged 55 and older
injured between January 2006 and December 2007. The researchers
examined state hospital discharge reports, patient records,
emergency department records, trauma registry data and death
certificates in order to compare patient outcomes 60 days after
being discharged from the hospital.
The patients treated at designated trauma centers had a 60-day
mortality rate of 5.7 percent, compared to 9 percent at other
hospitals, the study found. The median length of stay at trauma
centers was also one day shorter than other hospitals.
About 4 percent of the patients in the study had a serious
injury that needed specialized care at a trauma center. Of these
patients, nearly one-third should have been taken to a trauma
center but were not.
However, death rates were similar at designated trauma centers
and nontrauma centers, the findings showed. Elderly patients often
die after they are discharged from the hospital, the study authors
pointed out.
"This result actually leads to more questions," Staudenmayer said. "We need to determine which elderly patients actually are benefiting from trauma care and who would benefit more."
The study also found that receiving care at trauma centers cost
more than $20,000 more than care received at nontrauma centers.
"Ensuring that specialized medical care and extra resources [are available] costs more money at a trauma center," Staudenmayer explained.
More than 2.3 million nonfatal injuries among older adults are
treated in emergency rooms each year, costing about $30 billion in
direct medical care, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.

I live in an apartment building and wanted to put a windowbox on the ledge outside my bedroom window. I assume that I could find a window box that includes some type of metal frame that has hooks attached, and basically from inside my apartment I would hang the frame so that it goes under the window glass itself, then I shut the bottom of the window screen DOWN on the hooks, and then I rest the window box inside the frame which would rest on the outside ledge.
Although now that I say that, just a window screen pressed down on the brackets would not be enough to offset the weight of the windowbox...esp should a strong wind come or something.. So....is really the only way to have a windowbox is to bolt it somehow to the exterior of the building (which I would not be allowed to do)? Of course the other option is to just hope the window box stays put, but seeing as I am on the 4th floor I obviously cannot take that risk that it falls...so I would need SOME way to secure it. The only way I can think of barring bolting it to the outside of the building is to bolt it to the inside of the window frame but I'm not sure I could do that either...
Tx all....

|yippee1999, there is an S-shaped mounting bracket - made of flat metal stock - and bent to loop over the window sill and, on the outside, bent twice to form a 'cradle' to hold the planter.
Two or three of these will support a window planter.
The only disadvantage is that the window and screen will not form a tight seal with the window sill.

|thanks...yes, what you describe is exactly what I was thinking of and looking for but I can't seem to find it anywhere online. All the sides just seem to have brackets that you mount direcly to the outside of the building by drilling them into the outside wall.
Anyway, I just realized that....I couldn't use an S bracket anyway! Unfortunately, because I live in a very modern building, the windows we have don't open up and down, but side to side. So unless I plan to have my window open 24/7 to allow room for the S bracket, well....and S bracket obvioously can't work for times when I want to have my window shut, as the S bracket will preven the window from closing, even part way...
Oh well...guess I just have to give up on a window box...
|Side to side, hmm?
You might have to rig up something weird, but I bet there is a way to do this. I would like to do it too. (I have the same situation as you. Except I don't have an outside ledge on my windows.)
Do you absolutely need a screen? If you're in the city like me, there shouldn't be too many insects. (Plus it would be easier to tend the planter without one.) Maybe instead of a screen you could wedge a small but sturdy dowel in the the window frame and anchor the planter to it.

Win puts Clint Bowyer back in championship hunt
|Clint Bowyer does a Victory burnout after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Saturday, Oct. 13, 2012, in Concord, N.C. (AP Photo/Autostock, Brian Czobat) MANDATORY CREDIT
CONCORD, N.C. — One of these days, Clint Bowyer might have enough gas in his tank to do a celebratory burnout.
Until then, he's just fine walking to Victory Lane.
Bowyer and crew chief Brian Pattie stretched a final tank of fuel to the finish for a win at Charlotte Motor Speedway that pushed the Michael Waltrip Racing team back into the championship picture. It was its third win of the season, and Bowyer has run out of gas after taking the checkered flag all three times.
"It's fun to walk to Victory Lane, that's the best walk you could ever have," he said after Saturday night's win. "I think that's my new trademark. I'll walk home if it means Victory Lane."
Bowyer didn't expect to be in this position at this time last year, when talks on a contract extension broke down with Richard Childress Racing.
Neither did Pattie, who was stuck at home unable to work because he had been fired as Juan Pablo Montoya's crew chief but was still under contract to the race team.
And team owner Waltrip, he wanted them both because they'd be an upgrade to his organization and allow him to expand to a third team. But he wasn't sure either would even consider joining MWR.
Somehow, it all came together and clicked faster than anyone expected. The cars were fast, the chemistry was good and they were in Victory Lane for the first time in June on the road course at Sonoma. They did it again on the short track at Richmond to end the regular season.
Saturday night's victory came on the 1.5-mile intermediate Charlotte track and marked that halfway point of the 10-race Chase. It pushed Bowyer up one spot in the Chase standings to fourth, just 28 points behind leader Brad Keselowski as the Sprint Cup Series shifts to Kansas — Bowyer's home track.
"That's probably the biggest thing, to come off this win, going into your hometown," Bowyer said. "It's just so important to be able to roll in on a positive note. And to be able to win there some day, we've gotten close, if we could possibly pull this off again in Kansas — it would be, that's my, do you dare say, Daytona 500? But it truly is. That's the biggest race you can possibly win, in front of your hometown."
It won't be easy for Bowyer to overcome this deficit and win the championship. Standing in front of him is Keselowski, a two-time winner in the Chase so far, five-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin, who nearly won the 2010 title but fumbled it away to Johnson in the finale.
In 2009, when Pattie led Montoya into the Chase, the crew chief played a game of math to make a run at the title. He chased points and finishes and played it safe, and while it worked for the best season in Montoya's NASCAR career, it wasn't enough to win the title.
With Bowyer, and with five races to go, Pattie has a different strategy for catching Keselowski, Johnson and Hamlin.
"We're going for trophies," he said. "That's the only way you're going to beat (them). That mid-pack, fourth, fifth, sixth in points, we're gapped a little bit from the leaders, so you had to do something special to get back into it. This definitely helps."
Maybe it will work for the first championship for driver, crew chief and owner. But if it doesn't, nobody at MWR should be disappointed.
This was, after all, an organization that nearly folded midway through its 2007 inaugural season. A cheating scandal involving Waltrip at the season-opening Daytona 500 nearly destroyed his career.
Facing bankruptcy and the loss of everything he had built, he was thrown a lifeline by Rob Kauffman, an investment fund manager and racing enthusiast who stepped in late in that season to pump cash into an organization nobody in their right mind should have partnered with. It literally saved MWR, and Kauffman continued to answer the call at every level of Waltrip's plan to grow the organization into one of NASCAR's top teams.
"We went to Rob with a plan that cost a lot of money above budgets, a lot of money that I didn't have," Waltrip said. "We told Rob we really felt like this plan would enable us to improve our cars so our drivers could go win races. And Rob endorsed the plan, said `I want to win, I want to be up front, I want to be a contender.' It enabled us to build the cars that we have today that Clint is able to drive so wonderfully and Brian is able to make those calls.
"So I think the main thing that happened at MWR was we came up with a plan and Rob said, `I'll fund that plan."'
It has worked to perfection with MWR earning its first Chase berths this year with both Bowyer and Martin Truex Jr., and on Saturday night, the organization had Bowyer, Truex and Mark Martin in the top 10 — the third time this season all three of its cars have finished inside the top 10.
And it came on a night when manufacturer Toyota took six spots in the top 10, in a fuel mileage race, a mere two weeks after Kyle Busch blasted the manufacturer for the poor mileage the his engine got at Dover. No problem at Charlotte.
"I'll just be honest — at the beginning of the year I heard a lot of things, a lot of rumors about the engines, the engines, the engines," Bowyer said, "let me tell you something, in a short amount of time, from the beginning of the year until right now, they've slowly and steadily become the best engine program in the sport."

of "random" that is most significant for understanding the evolutionary process is (iii) that mutations are unoriented with respect to adaptation; they occur independently of whether or not they are beneficial or harmful to the organisms. Some are beneficial, most are not, and only the beneficial ones become incorporated in the organisms through natural selection.
The adaptive randomness of the mutation process (as well as the vagaries of other processes that come to play in the great theater of life) is counteracted by natural selection, which preserves what is useful and eliminates what is harmful. Without hereditary mutations, evolution could not happen because there would be no variations that could be differentially conveyed from one to another generation. But without natural selection, the mutation process would yield disorganization and extinction because most mutations are disadvantageous. Mutation and selection have jointly driven the marvelous process that, starting from microscopic organisms, has yielded orchids, birds, and humans.
The theory of evolution conveys chance and necessity jointly enmeshed in the stuff of life; randomness and determinism interlocked in a natural process that has spurted the most complex, diverse, and beautiful entities that we know of in the universe: the organisms that populate the Earth, including humans who think and love, endowed with free will and creative powers, and able to analyze the process of evolution itself that brought them into existence. This is Darwin's fundamental discovery, that there is a process that is creative although not conscious. And this is the conceptual revolution that Darwin completed: the idea that the design of living organisms can be accounted for as the result of natural processes governed by natural laws. This is nothing if not a fundamental vision that has forever changed how mankind perceives itself and its place in the universe.

December 22, 2014
Knoxville (WVLT) -- AdventureCon 5 continued today at the Knoxville Convention Center.
The event bills itself as Tennessee's largest collectors show though it could probably claim to offer Tennessee's largest collection of movie stars, comic book heroes, and sci-fi fans under one roof.
Comic book heroes even included the star of a recent popular movie who was impressed with his support here in East Tennessee.
"It is a little revealing," said Spiderman. "It's a little strange but I like it. We've got a lot of fans here."
The event wraps up tomorrow evening.
This years celebrities included Billy Dee Williams from Star Wars, Martin Klebba from Pirates of the Caribbean, and April Stewart who provides many of the female voices on South Park.

George Clooney and Friends Launch Satellite Program to Watch Sudan Border
Actor Clooney's "Not On Our Watch" (NOOW) group announced on Tuesday it is working with Google and The U.N. Operational Satellite Applications Program to use [added: to use, removed: "to launch"] satellite surveillance of the border between north and south Sudan. The goal: to prevent another civil war after a secession vote planned for January. The data of interest includes troop and civilian movement.
NOOW is funding the Satellite Sentinel Project that will tap on the ground data, too. Analysis will be provided by the Enough Project and the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative. [I ran into some of the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative guys the other day in the AT&T store here in Cambridge; I asked the four young hip fellows if they were a startup!] Google and UN will be publishing the data.

Digg this Story
I am busting at the seams here, I have been holding my opinions on this potential ATi + AMD deal for many months now. Obviously everyone knows Intel's latest product offering is excellent and news on Conroe/Woodcrest is humming along – but this deal with ATi + AMD has positive cataclysmic effects on the entire industry. This deal slightly overshadows any news going on in our industry at the moment.
I am going out on a limb – I, like many others, believe this deal is imminent and I am offering up my reasons why I believe this deal makes sense.
As many of you know I have always said that ATi is a target for acquisition, and I truly believe they are a diamond hidden deep in the rough – and with a little bit of polishing this acquisition will go down in history as the best move that AMD ever made. ATi + AMD = a go big strategy that will shake the very foundation of our industry.
Based on the feedback I've received from many analysts, I am going to assume that most people will not be able to make sense of this deal. The following obvious questions come to mind;
1) Why would AMD buy ATi, why not Nvidia? Isn't Nvidia a stronger company?
The answer this question requires some methodical strategic thought. This is not unlike a chess game – and I believe that AMD is positioning its pieces carefully before it works its way over to the king.
- ATi is generally undervalued. They have been trading in a tight little window for what seems like forever. ATi does not have the market prowess that Nvidia has; quite simply Nvidia knows how to manage their relationships with Wall Street better than ATi does.
- ATi is very much like AMD was 5+ years ago before the new AMD management came on board and started to fix the company. Under Hector Ruiz, new management leveraged the awesome innovations that AMD had under the hood and turned the company on its head. For the last 3+ years AMD has been the undisputed leader in almost all areas of the market.
- ATi has some killer technologies under their hood – not least of which are publicly available now. ATi is the best third party notebook chipset manufacturer in the world. They understand power management like no ones business, and they have the capabilities to build killer platforms for mobile platforms. There is no denying that the Intel Israeli team is talented when it comes to designing some killer platforms - especially for notebook. ATi + AMD under one roof = mobility platforms that will rival anything that anyone else can put out.
- ATi's handheld business is strong and AMD has some great OEM relationships to help raise this portfolio.
- No need to talk about the benefits of XBOX 360 + Nintendo Wii, I think you all know what this translates to.
- ATi's decentralized organization could use a big tune up. They are very easy to work with, and they are incredibly flexible – this acquisition will come as a welcome challenge to their team.
- ATi has polished their skills in platform chipsets, and with a little bit of honing they could be the next big force in the market. With AMD building their own platforms "in house" via ATi I think we'll see some pretty amazing pre-engineered products.
- It's not the time for Nvidia yet: If anyone knows Nvidia they know that their CEO is very much in control of the organization. Nvidia is also much more expensive than ATi, and rightfully so – Nvidia has been making all the right moves for many consecutive months. Nvidia is known for their aggressive business moves, and those who know Jen-Hsun will tell you that he wouldn't let anyone buy the company without him remaining at the helm of the larger organization. Think about the future opportunities here –- We could see the beginnings of a much larger organization.
2) Why is AMD fixated on the graphics market?
Long term thinkers already know that CPU and GPU computations may eventually end up on one piece of silicon. Back in the days of the separate math co-processors industry "pundits" didn't believe they would ever morph into one – but those in the know realized that this bottleneck needed to be cut out as soon as possible. In the case of CPU + GPU the possibilities are endless – imagine a multi-core piece of silicon where one core handles massive CPU computations while another handles graphics, and perhaps another handles the traffic between the multiple cores.
3) Will Nvidia react negatively and work exclusively with Intel?
Hardly. There is no way that AMD will alienate Nvidia. In fact I am quite confident that Nvidia will actually work closer with AMD, and perhaps share and co-develop graphics in the long run. There are no ego's at AMD or ATi – if they feel it's good for their shareholders and their customers to work closer with Nvidia they will do it. AMD knows part of the reason for their success is the fact that they offer choices to their customers. Also, the worldwide demand for chipsets is higher than what ATi could produce so obviously Nvidia will still play a major role in AMD based machines.
AMD has some great platform solutions slated for next year, including server, workstation, notebook, etc. I can't get into too many details, but in my mind AMD + ATi = one large company with the potential of becoming a massive juggernaught. Any debt that AMD incurs to make this transaction a reality will be short lived. The long term outlook on AMD is unbelievable if this deal is approved – this company will go big, and those along for the ride are going to reap huge rewards.
As usual, initial reactions to change are always negative - but long term thinkers who truly understand the technology will tell you this deal is the one way that AMD can turn the tides in their favor.
On another note, someone needs to write a book on AMD, I'm telling you it would be a best seller. The management over at AMD really understands the future of technology and the needs of their customers. I think a book about how they did it would be a very interesting read.
I welcome any and all of you to visit my blog at www.rahulsood.com for more details on this transaction as it progresses – and I welcome all comments on all sides of the deal.
The follow up to this article (with response to comments) is here, please check it and reserve your comments for that entry.

Bridgeville Limos
There are many wonderful transportation companies and limo services in Bridgeville, Delaware. Transportation is one of those details that needs to be sorted out, but is often left to the last minute. It's always a good idea to plan ahead to avoid transportation issues for events. These days you can find limo options to suit any personality while guaranteeing that you arrive in style.
Bridgeville, Delaware limo companies are extremely popular for weddings and proms. Weddings often require transporting at least the bridal party and groomsmen. You can accommodate a number of people in limousines, but you can also add your own personal style by transporting your nearest and dearest via trolley or by using a basic car service.
Instead of having your guests scramble for transportation services around Bridgeville, it's a great idea to arrange for luxury buses to shuttle guests from a central location like a hotel to the venue. Guests will be grateful and you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing your guests are getting home safely.
If your event is smaller and doesn't require buses, you may want to arrange with a local cab company or Bridgeville car service to have town cars on hand the night of your event. You can simply send out the contact information with your invitations.

See video of god Shiva (right) and god Ganesha (elephant headed god) appearing together in sky on 28-06-2013. MVI_0252.AVI
On 15-Feb-2006 at 07-30 hrs I saw snake god Sheshnag with five heads appearing and moving in the sky. After a few seconds I saw 7 bright stars in a line moving in the sky. Soon all the 7 stars became 7 buds in the sky and they were moving from North West sky to South East sky. On the move all the seven buds were growing and when they reached in front of me all of them stopped in a line. Then the first bud started to become flower and after becoming flower it became a fish in the sky. It was god Matsya Avatar (fish incarnation of god Vishnu). Then the second bud became flower and soon that flower became god Garud. Then the third bud became flower and that flower became god Shiva. Then the fifth bud became flower and that flower became god Muthappan. Then the sixth bud became flower and that flower became elephant headed god, Ganesha. Soon the last bud started to become flower and after becoming flower it became a big snake god in the sky. It was snake god Nagdevta. In short one after one all the 7 buds became flowers and all 7 flowers became 7 gods. They were Matsya Avatar, Garud, Shiva, Muthappan, Ganesha, Hanuman and snake god Nagdevta. After 7 minutes all the 7 gods disappeared together in the sky.
God Shiva has been appearing in front of me in the sky since 15-February-2006. On that day at 07-30 hrs god Shiva appeared in sky with god Matsyavatar, god Garuda, god Ganesha, god Muthappan, god, Hanuman and snake god Nagdevta. After 30 minutes I saw a big lotus appearing in the sky and it was moving towards East. After 15-02-2006 god Shiva has appeared more than 15000 times in front of me in the sky. Sometimes god Shiva appeared with god Ganesha, god Vishnu, god Hanuman, god Muthappan, god Jesus, and goddesses Durga and goddess Padmavati Devi. I have been shooting videos and photos of gods and goddesses since 2008. See some of the photos and videos I shot when I saw god Shiva appearing in sky. Search SHIVA APPEARING in youtube and google to see 300 photos and 300 videos of god Shiva appearing in sky

The Internet is fast growing from a Web made of static pages into a Web that also includes applications that perform computational tasks and that people interact with. In other words, browsers of future have to process data as well as load pages at a much faster speed and in a more efficient manner.
Microsoft's dominant browser share – 67 percent according to Net Applications figures reflects the current usage of IE but will Microsoft be able to maintain this market share in the future? That is the million dollar question and will depend on a number of different events that will unfold in future. Lets discuss some of the possibilities here -
Is performance the key area?
"We're going to keep making the script engines faster (but) right now it's not clear how many people are gated by script performance," said IE general manager Dean Hachamovitch in an interview. "JavaScript comprises a small portion of how fast a Web page will render. It is a piece, but by no means the holy grail."
"The faster we make JavaScript, the more interesting and interactive the Web becomes," said Mike Beltzner, Mozilla's director of Firefox.
"JavaScript in Chrome almost reaches the speed of Flash," said programmer Mr. Doob, who wrote Chrome Experiments called Ball Pool and Google Gravity, in a blog post about them this week.
What about the cross browser issues?
For now, performance is the top priority. At least until JavaScript gets fast enough that other problems move to the fore.
"All it took was a little competition to get other companies focusing on this problem," said Darin Fisher, a Chrome engineer at Google. At some point, "Suddenly this problem won't be a problem anymore and we can move on to the next issue."
So what happens in future is a thing to wait and watch I guess.
