Tension or no tension, the ratings are great for this new show and Christina is helping those numbers! (Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images) Christina is being paid the MOST on the show The Voice. Why? She makes 225,000 an episode and Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green each make 75,000 per episode. Why? Hmm? (Photo by Rob Kim/Getty Images) She is getting a reputation of being a DIVA more and more. She supposedly won't talk to the other judges during the commercial breaks because she is that big of a deal! (Photo by Carlos Alvarez/Getty Images) Christina has had a tough year with her divorce and the media. They said she has 2 make up people and a hairdresser with her at all times on the set of the TV show. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images) Her rep is denying all these DIVA comments about her! Supposedly there is a lot of backstage judge fighting with her. She is the closest with Cee Lo Green, but he is even getting mad allegedly. (Photo by Ian Gavan/Getty Images) Rumors are swirling on the set of The Voice about her diva demands. She allegedly holds everyone up and is late. She also has an assistant and a producer. (Photo by Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images) Adam Levine comes to her defense! Adam said that they all get a long great and that he and Christina work well together. They even just recorded a song together that will be aired during the show. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images) Christina graces the cover of the new W magazine!

Mick Jagger Defends Outrageous Ticket Prices
Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Mick Jagger defends the Rolling Stones' exorbitant ticket priced for their four London and New Jersey shows. The top-tiered ticket, which topped out at over $800, has quadrupled in price on the black market, depending on which scalper is selling the seats. Jagger spoke about the ticket controversy to Rolling Stone and defended the price of the seats, explaining, "I don't think there should be a secondary ticket market. I don't think it should be legal. To my mind, there has to be a better way of doing it, but we're living, really, with the way the system functions. We can't, in four shows, change the whole ticketing system."
He went on to say: "You might say, 'The tickets are too expensive' -- well, it's a very expensive show to put on, just to do four shows, because normally you do a hundred shows and you'd have the same expenses. So, yes, it's expensive. But most of the tickets go for a higher price than we've sold them for, so you can see the market is there. We don't participate in the profit. If a ticket costs 250 quid ($400), let's imagine, and goes for 1,000 quid ($1,600), I just want to point out that we don't get that difference."
Actress-singer Marsha Hunt, Mick Jagger's late-'60s girlfriend and mother to his first child, Karis, is auctioning off the Stones frontman's old love letters. Hunt, who claims to be the original inspiration for "Brown Sugar," spoke frankly to The Guardian as to why she's selling off the letters, saying: "I'm broke." The letters, in which Jagger talks openly about his split with Marianne Faithfull and the death of Brian Jones, will go under the hammer on December 12th at Sotheby's and earn Hunt up to $160,000.
Noted rock author Phillip Norman is getting positive notices for his new Jagger biography, Mick. We asked him whether he thinks Jagger was curious enough to read the book himself: "I just don't know. I mean, his policy is, of course, not to read or acknowledge anything. Somebody might say, 'This is a bit different, and perhaps you should look at it.' But I just do not know. I'd be perfectly happy for him to read it; I think he has quite good literary taste. He read (my Beatles book) Shout!, because he corrected me on a percentage figure when I went to talk to him backstage once. But I don't know if he read anything else."
The Rolling Stones tour dates (subject to change):
November 25, 29 - London, England - The O2 London
December 13, 15 - Newark, NJ - Prudential Center

|Non-tame Mice from Tame Failures of the Unique Branch Hypothesis
In this paper, we show that the failure of the unique branch hypothesis (UBH) for tame trees implies that in some homogenous generic extension of $V$ there is a transitive model $M$ containing $Ord \cup \mathbb{R}$ such that $M\vDash \mathsf{AD}^+ + \Theta \gt \theta_0$. In particular, this implies the existence (in $V$) of a non-tame mouse. The results of this paper significantly extend J. R. Steel's earlier results for tame trees.

Latest Jimi Hendrix Vault Release Set For March
Monday, November 26, 2012
Coming on March 5th is the latest Jimi Hendrix vault release, called, People, Hell and Angels. Rolling Stone reported that the material, which was recorded in 1968 and 1969, is yet another dip into the sessions for his infamous unfinished fourth album, First Rays Of The New Rising Sun, with "Hendrix (toying) with horns, keyboards, percussion and a second guitar, exploring fresh diversions from his legendary guitar work." Hendrix would have turned 70 on Tuesday (November 27th).
The collection follows 2010's multi-disc set, West Coast Seattle Boy: The Jimi Hendrix Anthology, and Valleys Of Neptune, which were released earlier that year.
Graham Nash has recently been mining Stephen Stills solo tape vault for a career-spanning retrospective, which will obviously be of interest to longtime Hendrix collectors: "Among all that stuff, he's got an album that he wants to put together of him playing with Hendrix in London the early '70s. It sounds like Stephen in the studio with Jimi (laughs).") )

Tuna, Bigeye – Unassociated Purse-seine (Maguro)
Bigeye Tuna can grow to over 440 lbs. and live for 10 years. Female Bigeye Tuna are very fertile (otherwise known as "highly fecund"), releasing millions of eggs each year. Bigeye Tuna are found throughout the world's tropical and sub-tropical oceans, with populations in the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Bigeye Tuna have a medium abundance overall; however, some populations are healthier than others. Purse seine fisheries catch the majority of Bigeye Tuna worldwide, with most processed by canneries into canned tuna (labeled as Chunk Light tuna, along with Skipjack and Yellowfin Tuna). Bycatch levels are moderate, typically including other tuna species and sharks.
Full Seafood Watch species report here.
This fish may have high levels of mercury that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More info here about mercury in tuna. Check out our mercury in seafood section.

You've never tasted goldenberries like these! Our farming partners produce the freshest, juiciest, most vibrant goldenberries on Earth. We welcome any taste-test or comparison.
Our careful growing and drying process ensures RAW, bright gold berries with amazing flavor and aroma. (We've seen many goldenberries on the market that are dark, oxidized, and smell faintly musty — hardly worthy of being called a "superfood.")
One of the world's most exotic fruits (and once the crown jewel of the Incan diet) these sweet and tangy sun-dried berries are more than just a tasty fruit. Goldenberries are bursting with phosphorous, bioflavonoids, and are rich in Vitamins A, C, B1, B2, B6, and B12. They are also extremely high in protein (7%) for a fruit.
Delicious right out of the bag, these powerful berries are fabulous in trail mixes, desserts, and a wide variety of receipes!

The truck is bagged and can easily clear a speed bump or pot hole or you on a creeper.
I hate to bust the haters bubble on this one, but for those that think this truck is not "practical" or a "waste of truck" you are dead wrong. This thing is built to pull or haul anything needed as the truck is designed for. I'm not sure if you guys have heard of anything called "air bags", but it allows this truck to raise and lower along with giving it the carrying capacity greater than stock. So for all you narrow minded haters, go hate on something worth hating, because your ignorance on this one is showing too much. My hat is off to the guys that built this beast. It is defiantly a bad ass machine.

Thats awsome with air bag. I like it very cool truck . Its and eye catcher

NVIDIA at GDC 2013
Once again, we are just weeks away from another awesome GDC event! We are thrilled to offer several ways to reach out to NVIDIA engineers and learn about new tools and techniques in the game development world. Be sure to bookmark our NVIDIA @ GDC 2013 events page to get the latest updates. In addition, don't hesitate to monitor our @nvidiadeveloper twitter feed for real-time news from the GDC floor.
Of course, we know what you're REALLY interested in is our sponsored sessions, and this year's sessions are a combination of "awesome" and "outstanding." We will have guest speakers from Valve, Gearbox, and Sony Online Entertaiment to talk about their experiences developing the latest games using NVIDIA technologies and tools. On top of that, be sure to attend to get the latest news on our GRID cloud gaming hardware and the new Project Shield handheld portable gaming device.
Here's the latest planned sponsored sessions, but be sure to check the NVIDIA @ GDC 2013 page for the latest updates!
The sponsored sessions, held on Thursday, March 28th in the West Hall, Room #2002, include talks and demos on a wide range of topics covering the latest advancements in GPU gaming technology. It's open to all attendees and features developers and industry leaders from game studios and beyond.

Jeffrey Kiel, Director, Graphics Developer Tools, NVIDIA
Michal Szymczyk, Chief Technology Officer, Plastic
Michal Staniszewski, Creative Director, Plastic
The new Catzilla benchmark from Plastic is showcasing the latest rendering technology of their new engine. This rendering engine supports all the latest techniques, like physically correct lighting, depth-of-field, fur, volumetric and raymarching based effects, motion blur, and many other great-looking rendering effects.
Using a pre-release of Nsight 3.0, the team was able to fix 3D API and rendering bugs, and optimize their engine to squeeze every possible cycle out of the GPU and system as a whole. Along with Jeff Kiel from the NVIDIA graphics developer tools team, they'll share their stories from the trenches to give the audience a good sense of how to take advantage of Nsight 3.0 for DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.2 multi 3D API development.

Many cooks will say that it's the stock or broth that's the keystone of a great soup—and they're right to a certain extent. But if fretting over making the perfect liquid base for a soup is preventing you from getting a pot onto the stove, it's just not worth the effort. Turn the focus, instead, to the soup's substance, and create dishes that are thick with chunky vegetables, beans and grains, and bite-size pieces of meat and fish. Soups to sink your teeth into. These are the soups that are going to get you and your family through the gloomiest days of winter. As for the stock, well, for soup in a hurry, purchased organic broth—or even water (with a little extra seasoning)—works just fine.
What's so wonderful about soup is how forgiving it is. Just about anything can be tossed into a pot and stretched to make a meal. In fact, humans have been feeding themselves this way since harnessing the power of fire. Look into the fridge, pantry, and freezer and see what can be simmered together to make a meal. This is a long tradition among soup makers that crosses cultures, countries, and centuries.
What unites the following four recipes, from four different continents, is their architecture: a sturdy structure of texture, tradition, and timing. They are also predominantly vegetarian because that's the way I enjoy a bowl of soup, but this doesn't mean that they can't be enriched with some meat. What's especially fitting about these dishes is that their construction continues after being ladled into bowls, in the form of flavorful garnishes, which turn the making of the soup into a communal project, with everyone adding their own touch at the table.
These soups are truly hearty, not just in texture but also in composition. They can take almost any amount of tinkering. Can't find yuca for the sancocho? Use potatoes instead. No smoked haddock for the Cullen skink? Opt for smoked trout, as I've done many times before (but note that the trout does give this otherwise white soup a rather rosy hue). If harissa proves hard to find, go here for Deborah Madison's harissa recipe from our April-May 2010 issue. You can avoid such substitutions, however, with some planning. Freeze cut-up cobs of corn at summer's end to have them ready months later for the sancocho; try preserving lemons for the lablabi or pickling cabbage for the kimchi chigae. Flexibility and forethought will help you become a master architect in the kitchen.
The success of a soup lies in the warm memories it conjures up. We fondly recall the love implicit in a bowl of homemade chicken-noodle soup when home sick from school. In another country, that bowl might take its warmth from spicy harissa instead, but it was constructed with the same love. The culinary ways of a particular country or family are what ensure that the raw materials of the soup shape up to something special.

Incredibly easy to make, lablabi is a chickpea stew from Tunisia that captures the sunny flavors of the southern Mediterranean. It's eaten at any time of the day, but particularly at breakfast, and is prepared with Tunisia's culinary trinity of harissa (a fiery red-pepper paste), preserved lemons, and olive oil. This recipe comes from Majid Mahjoub, who manages an olive-oil business in Tunisia and produces exquisite organic condiments under the label Les Moulins Mahjoub. For this soup, you do most of the construction at the table with your guests, making it perfect for a party.
For the soup:
For the garnishes:
Strain and rinse the chickpeas and add them to a 4-quart pot with 6 cups of water, the garlic, and the salt. Bring to a boil and then simmer until the chickpeas are heated through. To serve, place one crumbled slice of bread in each bowl and fill with the hot broth and chickpeas. Garnish with slices of preserved lemon and sun-dried tomatoes, a pinch of cumin, a teaspoon each of harissa (more or less to taste) and capers, and a healthy drizzle of olive oil.

Mother-in-Law's Kimchi Stew
"Korea is well known for its barbecue, but it really is soup country," explains Lauryn Chun, author of The Kimchi Cookbook. Of all its soups, this chigae, or stew, is as comforting to Chun as chicken-noodle soup. It does have a touch of spicy heat from the kimchi, the fermented vegetable relish that is the national dish of Korea, but it is quick and easy to make and will come to comfort you regularly on miserable winter nights. If tofu is not your thing, you can add leftover beef, mackerel, sardines, white fish, pork, or chicken.
In a 4-quart pan, warm the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add the kimchi and cook until it becomes more translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the kimchi juice or water, reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot, and continue to cook for 8 to 10 minutes, opening the lid occasionally to make sure the kimchi is not dry or burning. Add 6 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the soy sauce and stir. Add the tofu and cook uncovered until the tofu is fluffy and has absorbed the kimchi flavors, about 10 minutes. Stir in the scallion greens and cook 1 more minute. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.

Sancocho Zuletaño
"I love sancocho!" enthuses Fernando Polanco, the general director of the luxurious hotel and eco-lodge Hacienda Zuleta in the northern sierra of Ecuador. Of both Ecuadorian and Dominican descent (his grandfather was president of Ecuador), Polanco knows well the many variations of this much-loved heirloom soup, which is eaten throughout Latin America. The hacienda's meatless Ecuadorian version is distinctively light and refreshing, but the chunks of root vegetables cooked in broth make it plenty hearty. For something even more substantial, feel free to add hefty chunks of cooked beef or chicken, as is typical for sancocho.
For the soup:
For the refrito:
For the garnish:
1. In a 4-quart pot, bring the broth to a boil. Add the corn, green plantains, and carrots, and bring back to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
2. In the meantime, make the refrito. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 10 to 12 minutes, until the onions are soft and just starting to turn brown. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Add the refrito, peas, and yuca to the soup and simmer for another 20 minutes, until the yuca is soft. Taste for seasonings.
4. Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure each person has equal amounts of corn. Garnish with a generous sprinkling of cilantro and a lime wedge
Cullen Skink
This rich fish soup hails from the eastern coastal village of Cullen in northern Scotland. There is a dispute about the origin of the name—does skink mean "essence" in Gaelic or derive from the German word Schinken for ham? It is agreed, however, that the soup was first made with the scrapings of beef from a cow's front legs. This change in ingredients points to the fluid versatility of soups and the resourcefulness of people making do with the little that they have. Suzanne O'Connor, head chef of the Scottish Cafe and Restaurant at the National Galleries in Edinburgh, renowned for her use of seasonal, local products, shares this recipe.
1. Melt the butter in a 4-quart pot over medium-low heat. Add the onion slices, the celery, and 3/4 cup of the leeks. Cook until soft, about 15 minutes, making sure they don't color.
2. Slice 1/2 pound of the potatoes as thinly as possible and roughly chop 1 pound of the haddock. Add to the pot. Stir in the milk and bay leaves. Raise the heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until the potatoes are very soft. Remove the bay leaves and blend the soup in a blender or with an immersion blender until smooth. Return to the pot, add the cream, and heat gently and thoroughly. Add salt and white pepper.
3. Prepare the garnish: Dice the remaining potatoes and haddock. Cook the potatoes in salted, boiling water until they are soft but still hold their shape, about 5 minutes. Blanch the remaining diced leeks for 1 to 2 minutes, until soft.
4. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with diced potatoes, leeks, and haddock.

No open protocol, no party.
IAX2 is simply better.
Phoronix: Skype Open-Source Update Expected Soon
Back in November there was an official announcement from Skype concerning an open-source Linux client. Details since then have been scarce on what exactly Skype plans to provide as open-source software, with some speculating just the user-interface/front-end side will be opened up. Skype though has continued in recent months of providing new Linux betas of their closed-source Linux client that still has yet to reach a feature parity with the Skype Windows client. No open-source Skype news updates have come since their original blog-style announcement...
No open protocol, no party.
IAX2 is simply better.
being pessimistic, i can imagine this announcement going like this
"we were joking. sorry"
Doesn't Skype contain a implementation of On2's VP7?
Ok, a full open spec protocol would be nice, but failing that, a properly documented library which can be linked against would be better than nothing, as it would offer some improvements to the system, AND these improvements wouldn't be limited to the Linux desktops
It won't let Skype drop linux support, it will let Skype drop Linux GUI support. Whether this is a good thing or not depends on how they play it. As I said, if they provide a decent library to talk to their network, I find it hard to believe that the major desktops won't integrate that support into their messaging apps.
Having seen how Skype integrates on the Nokia N900, I can honestly say it is much nicer than any skype I have seen on Windows, Mac OSX, or (PC) Linux. A back end protocol library leaving the actual GUI to the desktops would be the best way to achieve that short of a completely open protocol.

D have existed for a very long time and is very similar to C, but makes it easier and better.
So I think it is kinda sad that D hasn't replaced C.
But now with C11 and C++11, it seem that D is getting less relevant as C is catching up.
Phoronix: Merging The GNU D Compiler Into GCC, Again
It's been talked about before, but it's being attempted again to merge GDC into GCC. GDC is the compiler front-end for the D programming language...
D have existed for a very long time and is very similar to C, but makes it easier and better.
So I think it is kinda sad that D hasn't replaced C.
But now with C11 and C++11, it seem that D is getting less relevant as C is catching up.
Having it merged with GCC proper would likely expose more developers to it and thus hopefully lead to more people trying it out. It's has a hard road though, to break C++ dominance in the market D really has to be _alot_ better, else C++ will maintain it's hold due to sheer inertia.
I'm a happy D user (mostly, until I run into some rather difficult to understand concepts like a function for splitting strings doesn't return an array of strings; but that's what the forums are for), and for one, I still don't really understand how different from current DMD is GDC. I never used GDC, and from what I did hear earlier, it was a bit behind the spec laid out by DMD. And, well, I don't really see a whole lot of reason to try it, as DMD works fine as well. The LLVM D compiler is interesting, though, as it has some functionality that even DMD doesn't so far. But then it's not cross-platform, so I never tried that, either.
That said, I'd imagine that merging it to GCC could make packaging D program source easier, as it would be a bit easier to obtain the compiler. It's somewhat of a problem with DMD, as it's usually not a part of official packages of most distributions.
Iain Buclaw, the creator of GDC, has had GCC 4.8 as his target for awhile now.
D is a great language. It's still got it's rough areas where the language doesn't feel "as modern" as C# (DMD linking mostly), but that's quickly changing with improving IDE tools like Mono-D, an evolving highly-generic standards lib, and community members working towards a std Parser, COFF support (with embedded .di data, planned), etc. I've heard others complain about bugs, but coming into the language rather recently ~6-8 months ago, I've run into very few, and nothing major. GDC (GCC D Compiler) has excellent code-gen (as does LDC) and is very competitive with G++ in performance [citations needed], at least in my modest tests.
People keep saying C++11 is closing the gap, and while that's true to a degree, I'd like to see a sane way to do Slices, Contracts, Templates & general Meta Programming, Unittest, and functional programming. All of which are very straight forward in D today. D's other simple, yet elegant features like scope statements and consistent pointer syntax may often be dismissed as unimportant, but once you get used to using them it's hard to go back to anything else.
But don't take my word for it ;-)
(The biggest hindrance I see right now is Optlink. Once we can disown ourselves of that turd, life will improve.)
C++ is an awesome language, but of course it's very complex. D (version 2) has some features that I don't think C++11 has or realistically can ever get without rewriting the language. "static if" compile time conditional compilation is much simpler and cleaner than the C++ preprocessor - see the comparison at the D Language website, http://dlang.org/pretod.html D also has "immutable", a stronger guarantee of the inability to change an object than "const" in C++ and "final" in Java. Per the current functional programming craze, immutable objects are nice for functional-style programming and passing information between threads. (D also has "const", and D's "const" works the same as it does in C++.) D's syntax for arrays and array slices is simple and convenient.
Walter Bright said he would like to open source his own DMD compiler, but parts of it use proprietary code that he himself is using under license, and he doesn't own the rights to that code.
I am in no way connected to Andrei Alexandrescu, but I thought his book on the D Programming Language was really good. I'm glad I bought it, though I admit I haven't found any non-trivial projects to write in D yet.
I love the fact everyone else is comparing and contrasting features with similar languages, and I'm thinking maybe we will finally get those abstract shooters from ABA games that I've wanted for all this time.

Lee shooting shows tensions around public information laws
Sunday, March 24, 2013
DOVER — Strafford County Attorney Tom Velardi is declining to release police reports about an officer-involved shooting in Lee, citing the need to ensure the man who was shot receives a fair trial.
Police respond to Lee incident
The shooting took place following a domestic dispute at Amazeen's home at 289 Lee Hook Road. Amazeen allegedly told his wife to stay inside the house, fired a gun into the floor, went outside, then shot another round into the air.
Prosecutorial conduct
In the legal system, Velardi and other prosecutors bear a special responsibility to ensure defendants receive "procedural justice," meaning their rights aren't infringed during a trial.
New statute on arrest records
New Hampshire lawmakers have taken pains in the last year to ensure that the public has a right to understand circumstances that lead to an arrest. A statute that went into effect on Jan. 1 stipulates that arrest records are, by definition, subject to public disclosure.
The right to know
New Hampshire courts have taken a strong stance in favor of the public's right to access government records. Nevertheless, the state's Right-to-Know law contains several exemptions.

Soaked salt cod that becomes a meaty and delicious dinner with roasted potatoes and vegetables. (AP photo/Matthew Mead)
If ever a food needed a brand overhaul, it is salt cod.Because nothing about that name inspires cravings. It actually sounds like something you spread on an icy walkway to keep people from slipping. But salt cod actually has a rich history, especially in Portuguese and Spanish cuisines, which treat this simple ingredient with near reverence.Salt cod is what it sounds like -- cod fillets that have been preserved with salt. A lot of salt, in fact. So much so, the salt must be flushed from the fish before eating. This can be done several ways. The most basic is to rinse the cod under cool running water, then submerge it in a bowl of water and refrigerate for 12 hours. The result is a tender, yet meaty fish that has a pleasantly solid texture (closer to a satisfying steak than to a fillet of fresh cod).The flavor also is changed -- savory and not overtly fishy. Though you will taste the salt, if the cod has been properly rinsed and soaked, it will not be too salty.Once the cod is soaked, it can be patted dry with paper towels, cut into chunks, then simmered for 10 or so minutes. Your options after that are numerous. The cod often is broken into flakes, then used to make cod fritters, or added to chowder. Larger chunks of cooked salt cod also make a fine curry, as well as a filling for empanadas and pot pies.Salt cod is widely available in the seafood section of most grocers. It often is sold in small wooden boxes. A 1-pound box will produce 1 1/2 pounds of cod after soaking.One note about cooking -- try not to boil it. It should be cooked at a gentle simmer. Boiling will toughen the fish.------SALT COD WITH ROASTED POTATOESTo soak the cod, place it in a large bowl of cold water. Refrigerate for 12 hours, changing the water several times. Most packages include soaking instructions, as well as an alternative simmering method.Start to finish: 1 hourServings: 61 pound salt cod, soaked overnight and drainedHandful of flat-leaf parsley1 medium leek, halved lengthwise4 medium potatoes, cut into wedges5 medium carrots, cut into chunks4 tablespoons olive oil, dividedSalt and ground black pepper3 large cloves garlic, minced8 scallions, white and green parts, diced3 cups small broccoli floretsJuice of 2 lemonsHeat the oven to 425 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.Place the cod, parsley and leek in a large saucepan, then add enough water to cover by 1 inch. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes.Meanwhile, arrange the potatoes and carrots on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the oil, then season with salt and pepper. Roast for 40 minutes.After the cod has cooked for 10 minutes, use a slotted spoon to transfer it to a plate and let it cool enough to handle. Using 2 forks, gently flake the cod into chunks, discarding any bones, as well as the leeks and parsley.In a large saute pan over medium-high, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the garlic and scallions and saute for 1 minute. Add the broccoli and saute another 5 minutes.Reduce the heat to medium and add the cod. Toss gently, being careful not mush the fish. Heat for 5 minutes to warm the cod.Divide the roasted potatoes and carrots between serving plates, then spoon the cod mixture over them.

Phoronix: Radeon DRM GPU Driver Performance: Linux 3.4 To 3.8
Last week benchmarks were delivered on Phoronix that showed the Intel DRM GPU driver performance between the Linux 3.2 and 3.8 kernels. In this article are similar benchmarks of the Radeon DRM driver in recent kernel releases using AMD graphics hardware but going back only to the Linux 3.4 kernel due to show-stopping issues.
How much can we trust this benchmark if recent comparisons are showing very clearly that Unity can have unpredictable influences on 3D performance?
Nah, i was hope to see supertuxkart 0.8 test on radeon, but nope. Is this true or not .
So, has there been any word to explain the problems with both Prey and Nexuiz here (assuming it is not something like AA being triggered)? Everything else is indeed looking good.
On a HD4650.
This is an oooold and slooow card.
Kind of useless benchmark again...
Lay of Micheal for once there people - the 4650 is probably a very common card to be used by people using the R600g drivers.
- kernel v3.4 makes radeon advertise mesa version 2.1
- kernel v3.5 and higher makes radeon advertise mesa version 3.0

Great Quality!!
Zoo Animals Birthday Invitation Magnets I used magnet street for my wedding magnets that we passed out to guests at our wedding. We were more than pleased with the quality and elegance of the products. They didn't look cheap or just thrown together. So, of course a few years later when it came time for our child's 1st birthday we wanted something that would last. This was perfect. We loved the animals, coloring, quality. What you see online and through the proofs is really what you get and it lasts! Our friends and relatives have our magnets still on their refrigerators! :)

|The mock committee was torn
The mock committee was torn between Wisconsin and Syracuse for the last 1-seed. They gave it to Syracuse based on fewer losses (the mock committee really didn't like Wisconsin's horrible January run). That made Wisconsin the overall #5, the highest ranked 2-seed. Michigan IIRC was the last 2-seed, overall #8. So Wisconsin got placed in its nearest regional before Michigan did.

|If memory serves me right
If memory serves me right (imagine hearing that dubbed in over the original Japanese), there's only one sports team in the history of the Big Ten Conference that has won a conference championship during every decade of the conference's existence... and that's Michigan Football.
Given that it's now much tougher to win a championship in football than it used to be (you can no longer claim ties; there's only one champion now), this "streak" might be in serious jeopardy. Sure it's only 2013, but the schedule gets really tough next year, and then there's only 5 years left to not only have a good enough season to get into the championship game, but to beat a good opponent to win it.

See edit at bottom of diary. I only counted 2011 and 2012 (because we don't yet have final AP rankings for 2013), but I shorted Hoke a win through some error of my own. That's corrected now.

|Brady Hoke's three "unranked"
Brady Hoke's three "unranked" losses were 2011 MSU, 2011 Iowa, and 2012 Nebraska. Remember I'm only considering AP rankings, and only the Top 20 (because only the Top 20 were ranked until 1989). 2011 MSU was not ranked in the Top 20 at game time.
I edited the diary to account for Hoke's 2-year record as 19-7 instead of 18-7. I dropped a game somewhere. I just corrected all the stats to account for the error. Apologies.

|The downside I suppose is
The downside I suppose is that by making your better teams play more tough games and giving easier games to worse teams, you're potentially watering down your product in terms of getting your best teams into a national playoff. Along with the upside-down draft, the weighted schedule is what gives us so much parity in the NFL.

|I wouldn't mind this if it
I wouldn't mind this if it could be done on a 2-year basis, so you'd have set opponents for a two-year term and have a head-to-head home-and-away and opportunities for revenge games. The surges in new rivalries between MSU-Wisconsin and PSU-Iowa in recent years have been built on revenge games, and that kind of stuff is the essence of college football.
Not sure how local hoteliers/restauranteurs in true college towns would enjoy not having game dates set until the end of the previous season, but I assume they'd be able to adapt somehow.

|Yeah, imbalance was certainly
Yeah, imbalance was certainly a concern of mine (really it's only a glaring issue in the North-West vs. South-East split that we both mentioned), but then I really thought about it...
Excising the RR era, since 1993 Michigan's best seasons have been undefeated and worst seasons have had five losses; that's a pretty big swing. OSU has had a few barely .500 seasons in that time as well. Notre Dame, Nebraska, and Penn State have seen awful seasons in recent memory. Schools like Iowa, Wisconsin, Purdue, Northwestern, Illinois, and Georgia Tech could be 4-8 or 8-4 or better or worse as the pendulum swings back and forth in the next decade.
You mention OSU as having a weak pod, and that's true. But OSU gets Michigan on a permanent basis. And four out of six years, OSU would either play ND, MSU, and Purdue, or Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Iowa.
Michigan's got a strong pod, but four out of six years Michigan would play either NW, Rutgers, and Illinois, or GT, Penn State, and Indiana.
I think competitive balance is a yearly crapshoot that can't be planned for on a yearly basis... only general trends emerge over time.

|I like this in theory, but
I like this in theory, but I'd hate to lose an annual ND-MSU game in order to avoid a Michigan-OSU championship game rematch, which might happen once a decade, especially given that in two years out of every six, Mich and OSU would be in the same division and couldn't meet in a rematch anyways.

|Sure there are divisions.
Okay, don't want to start a fight here, but sure there are divisions under this proposal. The divisions are fixed at the beginning of each 2-year period, and there are true round robins in each division each season. The winner of each division plays in a championship game. That meets the NCAA's standard. Then every two years, the divisions are changed around as the pods rotate with each other.
As far as I know, the NCAA does not require divisions to be permanent; just fixed within each season.
Plus, it's got to be legal as far as the NCAA is concerned, because the 16-team WAC did something very similar in the 1990s, with rotating pods.
|2 years 16 weeks ago
|Well the problem with that is
Well the problem with that is that (unless the NCAA changes its tune), you've got to play a round robin in your division. That means you've got 7 division games. You've only got 2 total games available for teams in the other division (non-partner pods).

|Non-Compete Agreements...
...probably wouldn't work in the context of college coaching anyways. To be binding, non-competes must be reasonable in (1) length of time; (2) scope of proscribed conduct; and (3) geographic scope.
As a matter of public policy, we want people to be able to earn a living doing that in which they are best trained and most talented, so courts tend to look harshly on non-competes that are even just a little too burdensome. Moreover, courts review non-competes even more narrowly when there isn't a direct client/customer base to be protected, or there aren't trade secrets to be protected.
In the context of buying your average small-town neighborhood gas station and taking a non-compete from the former owner as part of the sale, the absolute most that would probably be considered reasonable for a non-compete would be maybe (1) 5 years; (2) no sales of gasoline or other convenience goods; and (3) a radius of 30 miles.
In the context of college coaching, with coaches not able to directly steal "customers" and with few if any actual trade secrets to protect, and with so many different schools out there in different areas of the country, in different conferences, in different NCAA divisions, and that don't even play each other, I think the most you could ever reasonably get out of a valid non-compete might be (1) 2 years; (2) no head-coaching at Division 1 FBS level; (3) same state, or a radius of 100 miles. Even that might be pushing it, given the established nature of the industry.
Of course, such a narrow-scope non-compete would never keep a coach from jumping ship and going to a different job; the reasonable scope of the non-compete would just be too narrow to have any teeth.

|No, what you've said is
No, what you've said is basically accurate. But looking back at the NCAA lists of national champions, it's fairly easy to see which are the consensus or even co-consensus champions. See my comments in response to a similar question from MGoUser Fresh Meat below.
For instance, in 1901 and 1902, Michigan "shared" its title with Harvard and/or Yale. But Harvard and Yale were named by only one selector each, while Michigan enjoys the opinion of several selectors. My comment below spells out all of U-M's claimed and unclaimed titles. For all of U-M's claimed titles, U-M can easily be called the consensus or co-consensus champion. This isn't at all the case for three of Sparty's six claimed titles, also spelled out below.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_Football_National_Championship for a full list of all champions by year and selector.

|Well, post-1950 it's pretty
Well, post-1950 it's pretty easy: the NCAA record book, in addition to listing national champions as determined by all recognized selectors, lists consensus national champions as well. The interesting thing? Sometimes there are more than one consensus champion. Generally, if a team after 1950 finished first in one of the two major polls (AP and coaches), it was a consensus champion.
Beside the polls, there are many many NC selectors recognized by the NCAA -- anything from mathematical systems to historical researchers to single individuals way back in the day considered authorities on college football. For instance, in 1997, the AP and most of the other selectors lined up behind U-M, and the coaches and a few of the other selectors lined up behind Nebraska.
Because the NCAA record book doesn't explicitly note consensus championships before 1950, things get murky for that timeframe, although it's possible to look at the various teams and see how many selectors lined up behind them as champs. (Also, take into account selectors who actually existed at the time; for instance several somewhat recent mathematical formula selectors have been retroactively applied back many years, often resulting in the naming of a champion that was not recognized as such at the end of whatever season.)
Pre-1950 it's common to have two, three, or four schools recognized by somebody as national champions, because of eastern vs. western regional bias in sportwriting, among other factors. For many years, the National Championship Foundation waded through the historical muck and recognized a list of consensus champions, but often even the NCF named co-champions.
For the record, U-M claims National Championships in 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1918, 1923, 1932, 1933, 1947, 1948, and 1997. Michigan shared these championships as follows, according to the NCAA record book:
Michigan's unclaimed and non-consensus national championships (with selectors noted) are:

|Some odd practical matters.
I took the Michigan bar in 2006. I'm one of those people that likes to cover all the practical bases, to make sure that I'm prepared for any situation. Some hints of mine:
1. Pack your ziplock bag or whatever container you're allowed to take in with you with plenty of extra pens, pencils, a small pencil sharpener, *good* pink pearl erasers (don't trust the ones on the ends of the pencils), and even a few different kinds of pens (you'd be amazed how three hours of writing can hurt your hand if you've got a pen that you have to put too much pressure on the paper with). Also lots of kleenex (AC can make your nose run bad), your ear plugs (there will be a fair amount of ambient noise), and a good watch.
2. Overdose on Immodium at around noon on the day before. Seriously. Do you really want to have to spend 10-15 minutes finding a restroom and dropping a deuce during your exam? What if your dinner from the night before suddenly doesn't agree with you during your first essay response? Better to just eliminate that.
3. Take a small keychain flashlight as part of your keys that you can take in with you. What if the lights go out? (This has happened in bar exams.) You're still in the clear.
4. Even if you're like me and well prepared and not the sort of person who gets nervous, you'll still get a bit nervous. Hit the grocery store the day before and get some food that won't contribute to your stomach turning: fruits, crackers, and juice. Eat that stuff until you're done with the exam.
5. Trust your prep work. BarBri and PMBR's practice exams are made to be tougher than the actual multistate exam in order to have you covered on any of the really confusing questions that have appeared in past years. Add about 20 points to your practice exams, and that's what your real MBE score will probably be.
6. After a while, the stuff just starts swimming in your head. Shut down your studying with two days to go. Just look over some review sheets here and there. Watch a ballgame the night before. If you're staying in a hotel, take your own pillow with you. Set multiple alarms for the morning of the exam.
7. I'll totally echo the sentiments of someone above: don't talk to others during the breaks about the exam. The questions you've already done are over. Rehashing them will just make you crazy.

|Alpena Grandfathers.
I live in Alpena, after seven years in school in Ann Arbor. I'm not a grandfather, but I know lots of Alpena grandfathers.
And I hate Mitch Albom.
When I was in 9th grade or so, I'd come home from school every Monday in the fall and read Mitch's THE HUDDLE column. It was good. It was funny. Barry Sanders had lifetime membership. Lou Holtz was always trying to sneak in. Albom was a good sports read.
Then TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE happened and Albom went all Oprah. Instead of doing sports, he did politics, social issues, and lots of touchy feely crap. Now his columns are just all dreck; pseudo-intellectual masturbation. And I can guarantee you that there aren't many Detroit assembly line workers or Alpena grandfathers who care about reading his stuff anymore.

|Well I don't know much of the
Well I don't know much of the pre-MMB and Perry Como history of the song, but "Temptation" as played by the MMB was arranged by Jerry Bilik, a student in the early-to-mid 1950s. Bilik was also the genius behind the "M Fanfare." Apparently Bilik languished as a 17th-chair trombone before Bill Revelli discovered his composition skills.
Bilik was apparently Revelli's go-to guy for arrangements. If you've rocked out to Revelli's and the university symphonic band's "Touchdown USA: The Big Ten" recording of concert arrangements of Big Ten fight songs, you know how talented Bilik was/is. The arrangements are by Bilik, and they're awesome. This was released on cassette as well (maybe CD at some point), but here's a link to the LP:
As a student at U-M, he was also highly involved with the U-M Gilbert & Sullivan Society (that's late-19th-century English comic opera). He sang in the company's opera productions, directed/conducted the singers and orchestra, and even composed new music for an opera written by Gilbert & Sullivan for which the music has been lost. The Company plans on releasing for sale a recording of that music within the next few years. In 1954, Bilik was the conductor for the Company's production of The Pirates of Penzance. Much as Revelli loved him, he wouldn't let him out of his MMB duties; Bilik had to travel to Michigan's football game in Columbus, then figure out on his own how to hop a plane back to Ann Arbor in time to conduct the 8 PM performance. During the 1970s Bilik arranged and conducted a Gilbert & Sullivan halftime show for the MMB.
As of the mid-1970s, Bilik still lived in Ann Arbor. Currently, he lives in Cabin John, Maryland, but still maintains an office in Ann Arbor. He's made his career as a composer. In addition to arranging music for several popular TV shows, for the past several decades he has served as VP of Creative Development for Disney on Ice, and has written and arranged the music for all of the Disney on Ice shows, which he also directs.
His most celebrated original composition is "American Civil War Fantasy" (find a performance on Youtube). In 2002 he returned to Michigan Stadium to conduct a halftime show for the 50th anniversary of the "M Fanfare" and some of his other work.
In May 2009 Bilik returned to Ann Arbor to conduct some of his own work in the Ann Arbor Concert Band's Mothers Day Concert. His talents range from ice shows to classical to contemporary television to classic pop to comic opera.
Google "Jerry Bilik" and you'll find a lot of other info on him. Here he is:
FWIW, you can hear a chamber band play "Temptation" during R.F. Simpson's party scene in Singing in the Rain, a movie set in 1920s Hollywood. I assume the song goes back at least that far historically.

|I think you mean fixed
I think you mean fixed inter-division games. Extra-division games is also a reasonably accurate term. Intra-division games are games played against teams in one's own division.
Yes, oakapple's original post completely neglects this idea, which is used in the ACC and SEC (for a while each SEC team even had *two* inter-division permanent opponents). This surely is the best course for the Big Ten, with its many many important (and yes, even recently conjured) rivalries. Under this system, Michigan could play Ohio State, Michigan State, and Minnesota every year, and would restore an annual contest for the Little Brown Jug.
With permanent opposite-division opponents, you play the other five teams in the opposite division on average twice (home and away) every five years, as in the ACC and SEC. I consider that pretty acceptable. Without such games, you play the teams in the opposite division only slightly more often, on average twice every four years, as in the Big 12.
Not having permanent opposite-division opponents seems to have been one of the early problems that pissed off Nebraska with the whole Big 12 scheme... losing its annual game with Oklahoma... a huge game that in the past had a similar effect on the Orange Bowl and the national championship as Michigan and Ohio State had on the Rose Bowl.
Also, not having permanent opposite-division opponents also goes toward another problem the Big 12 has/had: too few links between divisions. Remember that Oklahoma and Oklahoma State were members of the old Big 8 for decades and had solid ties with all of the northern schools. It was a very closely knit conference, not unlike the Big Ten (the difference being a wider spectrum in academic quality and its schools lacking cache beyond the Big 8's region). Look what's happened after the division split: Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are basically in bed with the old Southwest Conference schools, and have very few ties (or anything in common anymore) with their old northern Big 8 brethren. A definite us-vs-them mentality was created, which wasn't helped by the recent strength of the South relative to the North.

|Brian: What is the point of
All I can think of is, if you're a guy like JoePa is or Bobby Bowden apparently was in his last few years, basically an organizing figurehead who farms out most everything in the realm of Xs and Os and dealing with the kids, you're not really the head coach in a traditional sense.
Now what if you're one of those guys and you also have a publically designated coach in waiting on the staff, who may actually be running the show? Now you've got the figurehead head coach who is subject to the more restrictive rules, and you've got an assistant who is the de facto head coach, who can go into living rooms as much as any other assistant.
Seems to me like the new rule closes a loophole which, though probably not a big deal, is there nonetheless.

|Jack Weidenbach (1990-1994)
Jack Weidenbach (1990-1994) was basically a career administrator (28 years) with the University, and started with the athletic deparment in 1988. Weidenbach built Schembechler Hall and did minor renovations of Cliff Keen Arena and the Marie Hartwig ticket office building. He also scheduled Notre Dame through 2011, which pissed the hell out of Bo.
You also forgot Joe Roberson, who served from 1994 until Tom Goss in 1998. Roberson was the first AD to sign a college to an apparel contract (the 1994 7-million-dollar Nike deal), and of course he "fired" Gary Moeller. Roberson was a minor league baseball player whose career was ended by injury, and he became a career administrator and fundraiser for U-M (he had previously served as Chancellor of U-M Flint).

|When I was but a callow youth
When I was but a callow youth there were a few Bill Martin edicts that I didn't care for (i.e., student ticket validation, attempts to tone down vulgarity at Yost, etc.).
But by and large, save perhaps for the sailing fiasco during the coaching search (and who will ever know what was really going on during that time?), this man was nothing short of absolutely superb in this job.
When Martin first started, he made trips around the state to have breakfasts with groups of alumni. Including in my home town, Alpena (that's four hours North of A2 on Lake Huron in BFE for those who don't know). We're a town of roughly 25,000. And Bill Martin cared to come.
The week following the 2001 terrorist attacks, I was a junior and my little bro was a freshman. That week people were panicked about what the next target might be, large gatherings of people, etc. My dad left Martin a phone message thus: "Hey, I've got two kids who are going to be in the Big House for the next game. What are you doing to make sure they're safe?" And Martin called him back personally the same afternoon, during the day when he was surely in touch with security firms, police departments, and other concerned citizens, not to mention the Illinois athletic department regarding how to rearrange the scheduled game.
Bill Martin gave us a huge and lasting bounty of new, top-notch athletic facilities, and brought athletics back from a constant game of financial Russian roulette to the point that athletics is now swimming in cash, and he's done it all while earning (charming?) the respect of even his enemies.
His successor will have HUGE shoes to fill.
