Grants from the Barst Fund will provide support for a one year mentorship for young clinicians and researchers in the field of pediatric PAH. Grantees will be expected to engage with an experienced mentor who is able to provide oversight and training in pediatric PAH treatment, management and research. In addition to the mentor component, it is expected that grantees will complete a proof of concept research project. These novel projects combined with experienced mentor collaboration are expected to significantly advance the grantee's knowledge, and ultimately the field, of pediatric PAH.
As of 2014, PHA has supported 3 researchers through this fund and we hope to continue to further our understanding of pediatric PH by continuing to support such novel efforts in the field. Learn more about the development of the Barst Fund

Title 40 published on 2014-07-01
The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 40 CFR 1507 after this date.
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2014-20199 RIN COUNCIL ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY Notice of Availability, Request for Public Comments on Draft Guidance on Effective Use of Programmatic National Environmental Policy Act Reviews. Submit comments on or before October 9, 2014. 40 CFR Parts 1500, 1501, 1502, 1503, 1505, 1506, 1507, and 1508 The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) is publishing draft guidance on when and how Federal agencies can effectively use National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) programmatic reviews. Guidance on programmatic NEPA reviews has been requested by the agencies and attention on programmatic NEPA reviews has increased as agencies are increasingly undertaking broad landscape scale analyses for proposals that affect the resources they manage. This guidance is designed to assist agency decision-makers and the public in understanding the environmental impacts from proposed large-scope Federal actions and activities and to facilitate agency compliance with NEPA by clarifying the different planning scenarios under which an agency may prepare a programmatic, broad-scale, review. The guidance also addresses how agencies can prepare such reviews to ensure they are timely, informative, and useful for advancing decision-making. The goal of this guidance is to encourage a more consistent approach to programmatic NEPA reviews so that the analyses and documentation will allow for the expeditious and efficient completion of any necessary tiered reviews. It builds on guidance issued since 1981 that explained the use of tiering and its place in the NEPA process.

Welcome to the Tennis4you Forums!!!

This match up is very similar to Berdych-Federer in that Serena doesn't see a ball like Errani's on tour.
It's gonna happen and I'm going to tell you why right now, so hold on to yourself. Serena is going to look at Sara's serve, step inside the baseline 5-8', and swing as hard as she can. She'll miss more than she makes.Sara changes speeds, hits a lot of looping topspin, and throws in moonballs all of which will drive Serena nuts. Errors abound.Key to the match: Sara must hold her nerve when serving for the set/match.
Her average first serve speed has been 75mph guys. 75!!!! Her HIGHEST in the tournament had been around 91 (somewhere around there).If Serena is on her game, how will Errani hold with 75mph serves? I might be wrong and it might be a tough match, but right now I'm not seeing it based on how they both got through their previous rounds.Of course, Serena could come out flat, hitting balls in the net, making errors, etc., and that's the only way Errani can win. She has to play her best and hope Serena is off - way off.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jackson was born on March 11, 1965, in Greenville, South Carolina. Jackson graduated magna cum laude from North Carolina A & T State University in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1987 where he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Management. Three years later, he earned a Master of Arts Degree in Theology from the Chicago Theological Seminary, and in 1993, received his Juris Doctorate from the University of Illinois College of Law. [9]
- 1995-2013: United States House of Representatives, Illinois' 2nd Congressional District
- National Field Director, National Rainbow Coalition[9]
Committee assignments
U.S. House of Representatives
Jackson served on the following committees:[9]
- Appropriations Committee
- Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education
- Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Vice Chair
- Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration
Political Positions
On his campaign website, Jackson has 5 leading issues that he is concerned about. In comparison, Debbie Halvorson, his Democratic Primary opponent, lists 8 issues. Jackson listed the following issues: [10]
Excerpt: "In the 2nd Congressional District, the biggest issue is jobs. That's why Congressman Jackson has been fighting to build a third airport in the south suburbs, which would bring jobs and economic development to the Southland." |
Leading issue for opponent Debbie Halvorson:
Health care
Excerpt: "Congressman Jackson supported the bill, and believes it should be implemented as passed, so that the promise of health care reform can be fully realized. He also believes that a public option should be considered in the future, and supported such a provision when it was debated in Congress." |
Leading issue for opponent Debbie Halvorson:
Excerpt: "Education is the key to improving the quality of life for millions of Americans who grow up in communities such as the South Side and south suburbs, where economic opportunity is scarce. Congressman Jackson believes that both additional resources and accountability are necessary, so that schools that have been failing can begin to meet higher standards. In addition, Congressman Jackson has proposed a constitutional amendment that would guarantee the right to an education of equal high quality to all Americans." |
Leading issue for opponent Debbie Halvorson:
Energy and environment
Excerpt: "Climate change is a real threat to all Americans and to people across the globe. As temperatures rise, lives and livelihoods are at risk. Simply put, we absolutely must reduce our carbon emissions as quickly as possible, and we must convince our counterparts around the globe to do so as well. Congressman Jackson supports a national cap-and-trade system to put a price on carbon." |
Leading issue for opponent Debbie Halvorson:
International affairs
Excerpt: "In Afghanistan, we must continue to build the government's capacity to effectively govern and secure the country, leading towards the responsible withdrawal of U.S. troops. We must ensure that when we leave, the Taliban and Al Qaeda are unable to return to power and safe harbor there. In the Middle East, Congressman Jackson has been a vocal leader in protecting the security of Israel. In March of 2010, he joined his Republican colleague, Mike Pence of Indiana, in drafting a letter to President Obama that encourages crippling sanctions on Iran in order to prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons." |
Leading issue for opponent Debbie Halvorson:
Auction halted after authenticity comes into question
After the U.S. Marshals Service began an auction in September 2013 to recoup part of the $750,000 in campaign funds Jackson and his wife illegally spent on memorabilia, furs, vacations and other personal items, the entire auction was cancelled "out of an abundance of caution" because of questions about an guitar supposedly signed by Michael Jackson and Eddie Van Halen, which prosecutors say Jackson bought with campaign money for $4,000.[11]
"Because new information has come to light, we are taking additional steps to review all the items," said Kim Beal, the acting assistant director for the forfeiture division of the Marshals Service.[11]
Fraud and conspiracy charges
The Justice Department filed fraud and conspiracy charges on February 15, 2013 against Jackson, saying that he used about $750,000 in campaign money for personal expenses.[4] He agreed to plead guilty to the charges.[4][12]
Jackson's wife, Sandra Stevens, was also charged with one count of filing false tax returns. According to documents relating to the charges, Jackson used the campaign money to buy memorabilia related to Bruce Lee, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Jimi Hendrix, a mink parka, and a Michael Jackson fedora and cashmere capes.[4]
Federal prosecutors pushed for a four-year prison sentence for Jackson after he plead guilty in February 2013.[12] Under the recommendations from the prosecutors he would also have been forced to forfeit the $750,000 he stole from his campaign and pay back another $750,000 to his re-election committee, which would be taken over and run by a non-family member.[12]
Sentenced to prison
On August 14, 2013, U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced Jackson to 30 months in prison, following his guilty plea that he engaged in a scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items.[5][13][7]
Jackson and his wife, Sandra Stevens Jackson, plead guilty in February 2013 to using about $750,000 in campaign funds to pay for high-end items.[7]
"I misled the American people, I misled the House of Representatives," Jackson told Judge Amy Berman Jackson at the sentencing. "I was wrong and I do not fault anyone."[7]
Judge Amy Berman Jackson said that as a public official Jackson was supposed to live up to a higher standard.[5]
His wife, who also plead guilty to the charges, was sentenced to 12 months. Jackson Jr. will serve his sentence before his wife goes to prison.[14] He will report to prison after November 1, 2013.[14]
Reported to prison
Jackson reported to Butner Correctional Center on October 29, 2013, to serve a 30 month prison sentence. He will serve the sentence in the minimum security facility.[15]
Finance probe
The FBI first initiated a probe in 2012 regarding suspicious activities involving Jackson's finances related to his seat in the 2nd Congressional District, including possible inappropriate expenditures. This investigation coupled with Jackson's continued absence from campaigning led rumors to fly with no answers being given by staff.[16] Jackson entered a plea deal with the Justice Department which then led him to resign from his congressional seat and he plead guilty to charges of mis-using campaign funds. Jackson will also be required to pay back any campaign money which was used for personal use. The deal is expected to be settled by the end of the year. A special election was held for Jackson's seat after he was forced to resign.[17][12]
On June 26, 2012 Jackson's office released a statement about Jackson's absence since June 10, 2012.[18] According to the statement, Jackson was on medical leave from Congress and was being treated for exhaustion.[19][18] Following that, Senator Dick Durbin called on Jackson to release further details on his condition.[20] He stated at a Chicago press conference on July 9, "As a public official, there comes a point when you have a responsibility to tell the public what's going on...Mr. Jackson will soon have to make a report on the physical condition he's struggling with."[20]
Jackson was treated for bipolar depression earlier this year and thus missed a number of votes. He missed 178 roll-call votes in 2012, 32% of the total number. It is not known when he plans to return to office.[21]
As a result of his illness, he was not visible during the 2012 campaign for district representative. Some stated that it was likely Jackson would still win the district. Brian Woodworth and Marcus Lewis said they were hopeful that they could garner support from his absence. Jackson's district underwent changes because it was a part of redistricting and even though there are fewer African Americans in the district, that is not expected to be an issue in the 2012 election. Campaign advisers for Jackson stated that he would appear in public again as soon as it was okay with Jackson's doctor. Some residents of the district gave their support to Jackson and said they sympathize with his illness.[22]
The following are endorsements from notable persons and organizations:
Endorsed by | Statement |
Nancy Pelosi | "He may be junior in terms of his title in the family, but he is very senior in the amount of respect he commands in the Congress of the United States."[23] |
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel | In a statement, the Chicago mayor called Jackson, Jr. a "progressive fighter".[24] |
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn | "Time and again, Congressman Jackson has delivered for the residents of the 2nd District in Illinois. Congressman Jackson deserves to go back to Washington, D.C.and help President Obama continue to fight for jobs, economic recovery and everyday Americans."[25] |
Campaign tactics and controversies
- In early-October 2011, campaign-related e-mails were sent by Jackson's staff members in response to campaign statements made by Democratic Primary opponent Debbie Halvorson. The e-mails, according to reports, were sent from the staff members' government accounts after requests by the media. Allegedly, this violated U.S. House rules that prohibit using government email accounts for campaign or political purposes. According to the House rules maual: "[T]he use of one's office desktop computer (including one's mail.house.gov e-mail address) to send or receive such communications continues to be prohibited." However, Jackson's spokesperson Kitty Kurth claimed that those emails can be categorized as appropriate because of an exemption allowing press secretaries to "answer occasional questions on political matters."[26]
- Jesse Jackson, Jr. stated during his campaign for re-election that he plans on introducing legislation that would turn the Historic Pullman District in Chicago, Illinois into a national park. The Chicago neighborhood is the first planned industrial community in the United States. The potential proposal would allow for a one-to-three year feasibility study to determine if designating the park at certain locations would work. If so, a proposal to Congress would be made to pass a measure to designate it as a national park.[27]
- Jackson stated that his Democratic Primary opponent, Debbie Halvorson has not supported President Barack Obama as much as he has. He pointed out that Halvorson voted against the president 88 times while in Congress.[28]
2012 Election
- A poll released by the Halvorson campaign in January 2012 showed the following results between Democratic Primary opponents Jesse L. Jackson, Jr. and Debbie Halvorson.[29]
- A second poll was released at the same time, by Lake Research Partners, showing similar results to the previous one.[29]
- Neither polls released a margin of error, therefore, the chart shows zero until those numbers are obtained.
- Lake Research Partners released another poll on March 13, showing Jackson with a considerable lead over Halvorson.[30]

Just want to add, that my radeon hd4570 is also getting to the point, where games are really playable. Even dota 2, which is based on relatively new technologies is getting closer to what it feels like on windows. It still has some graphics artefacts, fps is around 20-30 in average, but the game wasn't playable at all before.
Thanks to open source drivers developers!
Nice work, however:
1) The games used for benchmarks are obsolete. At least add Unigine Valley benchmark.
2) Modern graphics cards are not included.
-- Maxim
This benchmark is about the fact that the R600g driver has caught up with Catalyst.
More modern graphic cards use the RadeonSI driver (that one, although it is making progress, is currently not at the same level as Catalyst).
Michael explained it in the first paragraph of the article, actually.

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
A generation ago doctors were taught that humans had a certain number of brain cells, and these could not be replaced. We now know that was wrong.
The human brain can be "rewired." Brain scans demonstrate, for example, that intense meditation can actually change the functioning of the brain.
What this tells me is that healing is possible. You don't have to be trapped in a continuous loop of regret or resentment. With professional guidance and support, you can learn to see the past in a different way so that it has less impact on you.
If you're mired down by past events, seek out a professional to help you reframe and refocus your energies. It's not a sign of weakness. It's simply common sense — like going to the doctor when you have a broken bone.

I found this particular blog entry as well as your contingency planning blog so general that they were unhelpful. If I didn't know what website I was on and what I was searching for I wouldn't know what you were talking about. I won't be reposting this online to help other people deal with stress or mental illnesses. I'd have to explain what the post was about in detail. Seeking professional help is not perfect. And the way psychiatry is (at least in the state I live in,) it is counterproductive to getting practical help for chemical problems in the brain and therapeutic problem to retrain the brain. How about some advice on negating insipid advice from professionals and creating detailed exchanges that can help people who actually want to be active in their recovery? It is very hard to find on the internet. And even more difficult to find in the real world.
You're referring to neuroplasticity and I fully agree with you in this regard. The human brain has a remarkable ability to learn and grow, there's evidence that brain damaged patients can bypass damaged areas and thus regain function. Stress can also be managed through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Although therapy can never be a substitute for medication (if in cases where a person is experiencing severe mental problems) CBT is a useful therapeutic tool that teaches people to recognize emotional triggers and learn how to cope with them.
I enjoyed this article not only because I am an NLP practitioner, but because of the common sense tone of it. But yes, it's easier done than said. In order really re-wire your emotional responses to what you witness out there, you have to go through an actual experience and not just talk about it. NLP is a technology that allows you to embed an experience into your neurology without having to go through all the history of what is causing you grief. For me, this article is 10 years too late, but for many the ideas being presented here are new, possibly strange, even weird. But the long and short of this article is that it's time for people to tie responsibility for their own stuff, mainly how they interpret situations and how they manage to deal with it in a way that is healthy and healing for them, their body and their mind, and most importantly, their heart.
Dr.Creagan, I read your article on Brains and how they can be repaired through medication use, however, if the conditions are disorders, than why wouldn't a conjunction of medication to baseline the disorder as well as proper psychotherapy be a better options. Too many times there are too many people that are in "med fogs" and are considered cured, this is not true, and I am personally in that situation.
How do you deal with a mother who is almost 101 and I am 78. She has emotionally abused me most of my life and what happened before I was old enough to remember she has over and over let me know about it. She didn't want me likes it's my fault she didn't know she could get pregnant while nursing. My sister and I were 17 months and 10 days apart. From now on I will not see her and my husband will keep me from seeing any mail from her. How can mothers be so hateful?
very well written demonstration about meditation. It is an amazing way to get relax if you are suffering from stress.
2007 marked the beginning of a phase in my life where all of my current coping skills seemed to be inadequate to meet the challanges I was facing. In my journal, May 2008, I included a quote from a television program called "The Art of Living" which told stories of how artistic expression helped specific individuals cope successfully with stress in their lives. Three years later I still re-read this quote from time to time and find it encouraging: "A big part of healing comes from the belief that you really can get better, and that there is something tangible you can do to aid in the healing process." I was reminded again of this quote when I read this blog entry,and indeed I am getting better and have found many tangible things I can do that have helped... reading this blog weekly has been one of those things. Thank you.
This is too vague... what's the exact point of this article? I had no idea what this article was even about, reflecting only on the title.
Thank you. This is a partial answer to an important question of mine. Only instead of professional help and guidance, (other than these blogs of course), God himself seems to be doing the rewiring. Thank you.

Jackson tries for fourth straight win in rubber match
Cubs starter set to oppose Chatwood in series finale at Coors Field
Edwin Jackson is slated to start for the Cubs in Sunday's rubber match against the Rockies at Coors Field. Beyond that, Chicago's rotation is shrouded in uncertainty.
Trade talks involving right-hander Matt Garza, Monday's scheduled starter, have gained steam in recent days. And while the top pitcher on the trade market has won five straight starts, Jackson is on a nice run of his own.
The right-hander won three straight starts entering the All-Star break, rebounding from an up-and-down first half in his first year with the Cubs. He is 6-10 with a 5.11 ERA, but he allowed only four runs in 18 2/3 innings over those final three outings.
"This is probably the craziest start I've ever had in baseball," Jackson said after his last outing, against the Cardinals. "It's a game of grinding it out, and as long as you believe you have the confidence that you can come in and turn things around, that's all that matters. No one expected me to start like I did -- myself, the front office, the team, my manager. It's a game, you have to keep grinding. You can sink or you can swim. I'm definitely one of those guys who won't give up."
The Rockies, who claimed Saturday's tilt, will counter with Tyler Chatwood. The right-hander has allowed more than two runs in only two of his 12 starts this season and has submitted a quality start four of his past five times out.
Still, he took a tough-luck loss his last time out. Chatwood held the Dodgers to one run on four hits over eight innings, but the Rockies lost, 1-0.
"I felt like I threw the ball pretty good," Chatwood said afterward. "That's just how it goes sometimes."
Cubs: Lake continues to impress
The Cubs might have to find a way to get Junior Lake at-bats, even when David DeJesus returns from injury. After going 3-for-4 with a stolen base in his big league debut Friday, the Cubs' ninth-ranked prospect reached base two times Saturday.
"I think the tell-tale will be how he handles the Major League right-handed pitchers, sliders and all that," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "There's got to be a point if a guy's doing well, that's just the way it is. You keep him and you find somewhere to play him."
Lake faced all right-handers Saturday and went 1-for-3 with a walk, and will face another in the finale in Chatwood.
Lake played mostly shortstop and third base in the Minors, but started both games since his promotion in center field. If he keeps hitting, Sveum doesn't care where he plays.
"If it's one position or it's third base and shortstop and right field, left field, give [Alfonso Soriano] the day off," Sveum said. "There's all kinds of options there, because he's such a good athlete, to get his ability in the lineup."
Rockies: Bullpen shakeup moves Brothers to ninth
Closer Rafael Betancourt landed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday after undergoing an emergency appendectomy. The move gives Rex Brothers the closer role and Mitchell Boggs, who was called up to take Betancourt's roster spot, a chance at establishing himself in the Rockies' bullpen.
Boggs served as St. Louis' setup man last season, but logged an 11.05 ERA in 18 appearances this year before a demotion to Triple-A and, eventually, a trade to Colorado.
He was shaky in his first appearance with the Rockies, though, loading the bases in the ninth on a walk, a hit and a hit batter before he recorded the final out unscathed.
"It's starting to feel like it's there," Boggs said before his Colorado debut. "I've got to continue to work every single day."
Worth noting
• The Rockies have scored nine or more runs in a game 14 times this season.
• Since being traded to the Cubs earlier this month, reliever Pedro Strop has delivered eight consecutive scoreless appearances.

Public hearing on general plan July 18
The Plumas County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the general plan at the fairgrounds rather than in its normal meeting room, because a large crowd is anticipated.
The public hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Thursday, July 18, in the Mineral Building.
Assistant Planner Becky Herrin said she expects the meeting to last most of the day, with a break at lunch.
The planning commission is scheduled to discuss the final environmental impact report for the general plan update and recommend that the Board of Supervisors certify the document.
The commission is also slated to consider changes to the general plan including those required by the environmental impact report and minor changes proposed by planning department staff.
Ultimately, the commission will consider whether to recommend that the Board of Supervisors approve the general plan update.
If the commission makes that decision then the general plan update will be forwarded to the supervisors, who also must conduct a public hearing.

Iwakuma, Parker seek strong starts to second acts
Things sure have changed for Mariners right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma in the span of a year.
Pitching out of the bullpen as a long reliever for the first half of his initial season in the Majors, Iwakuma comes into this season far more prepared and confident as Seattle's No. 2 starter behind Felix Hernandez.
"Last year was definitely exciting for myself, being here for the first time and everything being new," Iwakuma said through interpreter Antony Suzuki. "This year there's more just expectation that comes along with following Felix."
He'll get the chance to show just how far he's come when the Mariners square off against the Athletics in Oakland on Tuesday.
The Japanese right-hander went 8-4 with a 2.65 ERA in 16 starts in the second half of the 2012 season, finishing the year with a 9-5 record and 3.16 ERA.
"There is definitely an advantage compared to last year," Iwakuma said. "I had no information then, just what we had in our reports. So there's a different comfort level that I'm in right now. The only thing I can say is that I've never pitched here at this ballpark, so that's something new for me. But I'm not looking at it in any different way. It's just a different ballpark that I get to pitch in."
Meanwhile, A's right-hander Jarrod Parker is hoping to start the 2013 season the way he finished his last.
Ending the 2012 season with a four-game win streak, the longest of his career, Parker is 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in two career starts against the Mariners.
Parker, who made the Opening Day roster for the first time in his career, is coming off a rookie campaign in which he went 13-8 with a 3.47 ERA and finished fifth in the American League Rookie of the Year balloting.
Mariners: Ackley in 8th spot for opener
• Thanks to the addition of key veterans and young core hitters, second baseman Dustin Ackley was penciled into the eighth spot for Monday night's season opener against the A's.
Ackley, who hit .365 this spring, hit first or second almost all last season and was in the No. 2 spot between Chone Figgins and Ichiro Suzuki in last year's opener. However, manager Eric Wedge is now going with a healthy Franklin Gutierrez and Michael Saunders in the top two spots, followed by new additions Kendrys Morales and Michael Morse.
"I think you look up and down our lineup, we've got guys that can hit about anywhere," Ackley said. "It's good to be in a lineup where guys are going to be on base when you get up to bat, especially from top to bottom. It's going to be fun to watch."
• The Mariners announced on Monday that the first 25,000 fans at Hernandez's Safeco Field season debut on April 11 against the Rangers will receive the free King Felix T-shirt and commemorative "K" card that normally are limited to 1,200 fans for the King's Court section down the left-field line at his starts.
A's: Jaso gets gift from Felix for catching perfect game
• Before former teammates John Jaso and Hernandez squared off against each other in Oakland on Monday, Hernandez sent over a Rolex wristwatch as a gift to Jaso after last year's perfect game.
"Getting to be a part of it is way bigger than this, but this is definitely a really nice gesture," Jaso said. "He really didn't have to. I was really just happy with being behind the plate. He came through."
Hernandez inscribed "Perfect Game" on the watch, along with the date -- "8/15/12" -- it was achieved against the Rays.
Worth noting
• After a 2-0 loss to the Mariners on Monday, the A's have now lost each of their past nine openers, the longest Opening Day losing streak in AL history.
• Monday marked Raul Ibanez's 15th Opening Day. Ibanez is the oldest member of the Mariners roster at 40, while reliever Carter Capps -- who turned 22 on Aug. 23 -- is the youngest player on the squad.

by David Brown Go big or go home If you can't get close enough with the Nikon Coolpix P520's incredible 42X zoom, maybe it's time to admit that some things are just too far away to photograph. Of course, with this powerful camera, those things will be few and far between. And once you're zoomed in nice and close on your subject, the P520 can record all those little details, to the tune of 18.1 megapixels. So you needn't be afraid of getting grainy photos as you zoom in to capture your child's facial expression from across the room or an architectural detail on a large building. With powerful 42X optical zoom, the Coolpix P520 can get you incredibly close to faraway subjects. Manual exposure controls Not only does the P520 have first-class zoom capabilities, but a combination of easy automatic and sophisticated manual controls. Get creative and use the rear rotary dial to control aperture and shutter settings for softly blurred backgrounds or freezing fast action. Or keep it simple and shoot in full auto mode, with features like motion detection setting the proper exposure for you. Built-in GPS and maps It's one thing to be lost, and another thing to be confused about where you've been. The Coolpix P520 solves both of these problems with on-board GPS and mapping. Find your way to scenic views and historic landmarks. Then retrace your travels through your photos thanks to automatic location tagging. Add Wi-Fi capability You can easily transform the Coolpix P520 into a Wi-Fi-capable camera for wireless photo sharing and uploading. Just add the optional Nikon WU-1a wireless mobile adapter, and you'll be free to send photos and video to your Apple® or Android™ smartphone or tablet with Nikon's mobile app. Use can also use your compatible mobile device to control the P520, whether it's snapping the shutter or previewing shots from afar. The P520's large, bright display pulls out for multi-angle shot setup and image viewing. Large pull-out display Shoot from odd angles and easily show off your photos to others with the P520's extra-large pull-out display.

Great little camera Written By Angie Silcox, Crossville, TN on Tuesday, March 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This camera has several features that I can just play with or perfect my photography skills. I am very happy with it. Pros: Excellent focus, and video. Fun special effects. Compact size. Long zoom lens. Cons: Haven't found one yet.
Nikon Coolpix P520 Written By Anonymous, New York on Thursday, January 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love the camera - the only issues is that it takes way to long to snap a picture other than that it is great. The zoom is amazing as well as the stabilization features Pros: Zoom Stabilization Cons: Takes too long when you snap a picture for the picture to actually take
Lot of things to learn Written By Anonymous, Little Falls, NY on Tuesday, December 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome zoom and picture quality. Bought this for my girlfriend who has had no photography experience and she loves it. Tech terms have caused some confusion and there are plenty of features to learn but nothing a little reading and research can't help overcome. Will be adding the wifi adapter soon so she can transfer pics to her iPhone. Pros: Zoom, pic quality, variety of uses, wifi capable Cons: Terms and symbols can get confusing to the beginner.
Nikon P520 Written By Steven H., Lewes, Delaware on Sunday, December 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I already own the P510 and this is a smart upgrade. The swivel screen is a Great move and an upgrade on the pixel count is nice too. The larger LCD screen make it easier to get in your own photo when used with the self timer and Swivel screen. The extra 7X of Zoom is a bonus too. This is a GREAT Camera! Pros: Great Zoom AND Nice Wide angle, Swivel screen, Excellent selection of special effects, HD movie Mode Perfect for Scenics, Wildlife and Portraits. Most versatile camera on the Market right now! Cons: Nikon really needs to include a Lens Shade and a UV Filter
Idiot proof Written By Anonymous, Chicago area on Wednesday, August 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) On vacation as I'm writing this review, have used the camera for several days now and very happy with it with a couple of exceptions. The weight is a little heavy but not terrible, the automatic focusing with the lens extended is tough, it seems to be searching for the right distance. I was on a yacht the other night trying to take photos of a fireworks show, and I could not get the camera to focus, so no pictures of that night. Pros: Vey easy to use, which is good the directions stink. Cons: Auto focus at long distance
Nice zoom camera Written By BruceB52, Salt Lake City, UT on Saturday, July 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I use this camera for outdoors activities like capturing video and stills of model rockets taking off. I use the EVF for this and it works quite well. As with all other cameras I have tried the LCD screen is useless out in the bright sun which is why I use the EVF. But the LCD works great indoors and is sharp, easy to view and can be positioned in many different angles. The telephoto works well, zooms out fairly quick and does not make as much noise as other zoom cameras I have tried. The macro works good and I can get down to a few inches from the subject. The video is easy to use as you just hit the one button and it starts. Video looks good with minimal trailing and zoom works while shooting video. This is important to me as I shoot video of rockets taking off and climbing away very fast. Battery life is OK as I was able to shoot a moderate amount of photos and video for a whole day without changing out the battery. Note that I use the EVF more than the LCD which uses less battery power. The controls are numerous but fairly easy to figure out. The manual shows each of the controls functions but I have rarely had to refer to it. The only things missing are the RAW capability, which is nice for editing your photos, and a filter ring for being able to add a UV or other filter. Pros: Great photo and video quality, fantastic zoom range, easy to use, relatively light Cons: No RAW. No filter ring.
Nikon Coolpix P520 Written By Anonymous, nyack, ny on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) good zoom and quality photos. disappointed that it does not have raw capability Pros: handles well, easy to use, display well designed, helpful explanations Cons: lack of raw capability and few f/stop options
Great zoom Written By Deean, Westchester, N.Y. on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I shoot wildlife mainly, so I need very high zoom to get good close ups. The Nikon 520 zooms fast and focuses immediately...so it is doing all that I usually want. Still trying to learn, use many of the added features.
Great camera Written By Anonymous, Mesa az on Friday, May 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After purchasing 3 cameras I finally found the right one for me. This camera takes brilliant beautiful pictures that I'd expect of a Nikon but also has an super zoom and very close macros with no noticeable shake on 42x. I'm still learning a the features and there are to s of them! This camera is a nice one some someone who doesn't was an slr but wants more feature control then a typical point and shoot Pros: Photo quality, zoom, macro, scenes Cons: None
Nikon Coolpix P520 Written By ART, SC on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I waited for this camera to become available and had considered the P510 previously. The stability and zoom are amazing! I recently went on vacation and took some fantastic photos. The battery life is also very good. Great camera!
Nikon Coolpix P 520 Written By Kathy, Powhatan VA on Monday, April 08, 2013 I researched Cameras for a month , came to the conclusion I wanted a simple to operate camera that had capabilities of an SLR, without all the baggage that goes with them. This camera is the answer, I have had it about a month and use it constantly. I made the right choice, easy to use but you can also manually set controls also so there is so much capability with this model. The zoom lens is 42x and is awesome. Defiantly would recommend this model. Pros: Easy to operate Awesome 42x zoom lens Nice grip Beautiful crisp photos Cons: So far no cons

Brace yourselves ..
Phoronix: Wine On Android Is Coming For Running Windows Apps
A port of the Wine software to Google's Android platform is being worked on...
Brace yourselves ..
Its useless so why even spend time developing it? :P
I guess Wine will be able to run Windows RT apps at near native speed, and that'll be awesome.
there are some nice x86 android-phones coming up
a wine port would be awesome. running aoe2 on my phone = <3
Except that most RT apps (aka Metro apps) are written in HTML5 and Javascript.
And last I heard, you don't need to emulate the x86 instruction set just to run HTML5 and Javascript. Any processor today that can't even run such apps at full speed probably deserves to be binned even before it gets soldered into the PCB.

I wonder how I can create strong passwords on Linux (for both normal and admin users) and if there are specific programs to do that.
pwgen is one of many programs for generating passwords |
Personally I prefer not to use password generator as password generated are very hard to remember :-). But one portable solution could be to use /dev/random Creating random passwords which contains no special characters, is 10 characters long
Creating random passwords which contains special characters, is 10 characters long
you can increase length by changing |
I wrote this little script a few years ago and have been using it ever since. If anything, it's an interesting abuse of
I'd also add KeePassX which gives you the option of using system entropy to generate strong passwords with a few nice features - all using GUI. It also gives you the option of managing your passwords, and saving them to an encrypted file. This is how KPX password generator interface looks like: |
I use a non random, but is varied enough for all attack purposes... master password, and last pass to generate other passwords. Here's how I generate the master password.
and the output
now just pick a few of the sections and make a password, rearrange them, leave some out, add a character or 2 to make it as good as random. As long as you can remember your seed you can regenerate this, and recover your password (so long as you don't make too many modifications) |
Here's a one-off script for generating XKCD-style passphrases.
If you are a GNOME user and you also need to store passwords for your various accounts you can try the Revelation password manager. It has a basic password generator feature, in that you only set the password length and choose if to include punctuation characters besides letters and digits. |
Correct me if I'm wrong, but: As far as I understood it, there is no way a computer can come up with a completely random string. So I came up with the following idea [and hope it isn't completely stupid]: If one throws a 26-sided dice, the chance to throw, say 26 is 1:26. In other words: The chance to throw 26 is about 0.04%. Further, a dice has no memory and no bugs. I came up with the following idea:
Paper Models to print out:
Note: I'm not a Math Pro and I came up with this idea after reading an article in 2600 magazine which described this. I just added some of my own ideas on the basic concept. Also: I wonder if this isn't just a perfect example for 'write your first brute force password cracker'. But your question gave me a perfect reason to bring forth this idea for being discussed. |

Felix Hernandez will try to bounce back from one of the worst starts of his career when he takes the hill at Kauffman Stadium in Monday's series opener against the Royals. Hernandez went three-plus innings against the Rangers in his last outing, giving up 11 hits and nine runs (eight earned).
"I just think he wasn't sharp," manager Eric Wedge said on Sunday. "He wasn't throwing the ball the way he normally throws it. He was missing spots, his pitches weren't as sharp as before, he wasn't on line as much as he normally is. There were a number of things that contributed to that, but he had a real good work day [on Saturday]. So I look for him to come back [on Monday]."
After an outstanding start to the season, Hernandez is 1-4 with a 7.00 ERA over his last five starts to put him at 12-8 with a 2.97 ERA for the year.
To get on the right track, Hernandez will have to fend off a Kansas City team with its back against the wall. The Royals, who entered Sunday 6 1/2 games behind in the American League Wild Card race, will need a stellar September if they hope to play in October.
The Royals have had an up-and-down second half -- going on a 21-7 run following the All-Star break, before suffering a seven-game losing streak. After going 4-2 on their recent road trip, Kansas City has won six of its last eight games.
Danny Duffy will take the mound for Seattle in his second game since replacing the struggling Davis in the Royals' rotation. The lefty is riding a string of 12 2/3 scoreless innings entering his first career start against the Mariners.
The 24-year-old is making his fourth Major League start of the year, as he returns from Tommy John surgery.
Mariners: Wedge hopes run support comes with experience
Wedge said on Sunday he thinks carrying so much of the load for a young club that doesn't always offer a lot of run support might be catching up to Hernandez.
The Mariners have called up young players like Nick Franklin, Brad Miller, and Mike Zunino, and they provided a jolt to the offense that made Seattle one of the highest-scoring clubs in the Majors during August. However, an injury to Zunino and a recent slump by Franklin have contributed to the club's recent struggles at the plate.
"I think once we finally get to the point where we can count on more consistency offensively, it's going to help Felix," said Wedge. "It's going to help a lot of these guys. Because it's a [heck] of a thing to carry [when] you feel like you have to go out there and only give up one or two runs to have a chance to win. When that happens, you're going to have days when you let your guard down and you're human."
Royals: Davis will join the team on Tuesday
Right-hander Wade Davis will be recalled for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, manager Ned Yost said on Sunday. Davis struggled as a starter early in the year, going 6-10 with a 5.67 ERA.
"He had some struggles, but he also had some very good games," said Yost. "Transitioning again from starter to reliever, I think he learned a lot. It's just getting consistent and having a solid approach every time he goes out."
Worth noting
• Kansas City has given up just seven earned runs in its past seven games.
• Seattle has hit 157 home runs so far this season, eight more than it hit last season.
