i agree that this article was above par (maybe because of the author?).
why do we have a time limit on incarceration when prisoners are released after doing a few months ?
this man murdered a human, lied about it and a judge gives him 15 to life ?
hell, let's just smack him on the back of his hands and say, 'no, no' !
let's take some of our tax money and build a private jail and have law breakers do their entire sentence,i'm sure the fanilies,/friends and like-thinking people might go for that.
it'd create employment, bring in money - GOOD IDEA, BUT the manipulators of our g'uvment wouldn'go for it.
well, it was a good thought - look for mcamis on your street soon !!!

The heatmap kinda does that - shows you how this cpu compares to all other cpus. Not in a list though.
I for the one, was in search for a good CPU.
For this, I would need to know an average CPU performance.
Not vs-vs, but actual list how CPU compares overall to other CPUs.
This is something many people do when they buy hardware.
Of course, this does not mean to represent the details, but rather overall performance for generic tasks.
Its meant to allow quick decision to buy, not to buy.
How about throwing three-four single core, three-four multi core and two-three memory bandwith tests, and get a three-four digit value, higher-better, which would present this CPU average performance index.
When make a table at openbenchmarking org, with ability to browse this list and sort it - name, higher performance, lower performance and eventually current market price as link for shopping.
Also, as there is a lot of tests already, the table should actually be already possible.
The heatmap kinda does that - shows you how this cpu compares to all other cpus. Not in a list though.
Hello! No, thats not what I am seeking.. :/
Currently one can compare one performance to another, but not one to many.
I track one very interesting project right now, that compares one CPU to other in single and multithread test, and featurewise - and says who wins and then offers something alternative.
And another, well known project, that just displays a list with unified cpu scores.
But they both rely either on self-testing, or on others reviews; while PTS is unique that it can use generated data make index and to very precisely compare the CPUs.
Well,... just suggesting.
I've been working on a feature along these lines to generate a composite number, albeit my time is so limited and being the main PTS contributor, haven't gotten around to finishing it up yet :/ Hopefully in the months ahead.
Michael Larabel
Thanks for response! I will send you two similar sites as PM. Thank you!
cant send PM, .. your box is full :&

Final Score: Ball State 37, Eastern Michigan 26
Muncie, IN (Sports Network) - Jahwan Edwards erupted for a career-high 200 yards rushing and three touchdowns to lead the Ball State Cardinals to a 37-26 victory over the Eastern Michigan Eagles in a Mid-American Conference clash to open the season at Scheumann Stadium.
Horactio Banks added 63 yards on 14 carries for Ball State (1-0, 1-0 MAC) which ran the ball 55 times for 329 yards as a team. Keith Wenning completed 26-of-41 passes for 267 yards for the Cardinals. Jamill Smith was Wenning's favorite target on the night, the junior catching seven passes for 119 yards.
Eastern Michigan's (0-1, 0-1) Alex Gillett threw for 191 yards and three scores but completed only 15-of-34 of his pass attempts. The senior also led the Eagles in rushing, carrying the ball 11 times for 81 yards and a touchdown.
Ball State got off to a fast start and led 10-0 at the end of the first quarter after a seven-yard rushing touchdown by Edwards and a 52-yard field goal from Steven Schott.
That lead wouldn't last however, as EMU responded in the second quarter with a pair of touchdown passes from Gillett.
On the first, Gillett hit Donald Scott for an eight-yard score to cut the lead to 10-7. The second was a 23-yard strike to Garrett Hoskins but Kody Fulkerson's PAT was blocked, leaving the score at 13-10.
The teams went into the half tied 13-13 after Schott nailed a 29-yard field goal just seconds before the second quarter came to an end.
It was Edwards who opened the scoring in the second half with another career benchmark. The sophomore running back ran a career-long 75 yards to the end zone putting Ball State up 20-13.
The Cardinals made it 27-13 on their next drive, thanks to an eight-yard rushing TD by Banks. The points kept coming for BSU on its next possession when Edwards found the end zone yet again on a three-yard run that stretched the Cardinals' lead to 34-13.
The fourth quarter began with much of the same as Schott connected on a 19- yard field goal set up by a 42-yard run by Edwards. EMU's offense finally woke up from there, the Eagles cutting into the lead on Gillett's third touchdown pass of the game, a seven-yard completion to Mitchell Dawkins. The Eagles then failed on a two-point conversion attempt, making the score 37-19.
Gillett scored himself on the Eagles next possession on a 16-yard run. With the extra point Eastern Michigan found itself down 37-26 but would be unable to get any closer.
The 11-point margin of victory was the largest in the series since 2008. Each of the previous three meetings were decided by three points or less.

Grunewaldt selected for Baltic council
Baltic's Scott Grunewaldt was recently tapped to represent the city's second ward on the city council.A10-year Baltic resident and U.S. Bank employee, Grunewaldt is expected to be sworn in at the council's May meeting, marking the beginning of the term year. The father of three boys, ages 6, 4 and 1, Grunewaldt said he and his wife Sara are committed to raising their family in Baltic so serving on the council seemed appropriate."We want to be in the community long term and there's no better way to get involved in the community than on city council," he said.Although never previously holding public office, Grunewaldt said his experience in the non-profit sector – he's worked with Junior Achievement, the United Way, Hope Haven Ministries and other philanthropic organizations – will lend itself to the duties of a city councilor.Asked to serve by Mayor Mike Wendland, Grunewaldt will fill Ward 2's second council spot, which has been vacant since health issues forced Councilor Larry Tommeraasen to resign his seat December.Baltic Mayor Mike Wendland said he waited to find Tommeraasen's replacement for two reasons: the winter months tend to be void of hot button, controversial agenda items; and he didn't want to discourage potential suitors from pursuing the seat on their own volition.

Diamond Education
Key Points
A diamond's cut grade is an objective measure of a diamond's light performance, or, what we generally think of as sparkle. When a diamond is cut with the proper proportions, light is returned out of the top of the diamond (which gemmologists refer to as the table). If it is cut too shallow, light leaks out of the bottom; too deep and it escapes out of the side. |
Cut Grades
Blue Nile Signature Ideal cut: Our most brilliant cut, representing roughly the top 1% of diamond quality based on cut. The highest grades of polish and symmetry allow it to reflect even more light than the standard ideal cut. | |
Ideal cut: Represents roughly the top 3% of diamond quality based on cut. Reflects nearly all light that enters the diamond. An exquisite and rare cut. | |
Very good cut: Represents roughly the top 15% of diamond quality based on cut. Reflects nearly as much light as the ideal cut, but for a lower price. | |
Good cut: Represents roughly the top 25% of diamond quality based on cut. Reflects most light that enters. Much less expensive than a very good cut. | |
Fair cut: Represents roughly the top 35% of diamond quality based on cut. Still a quality diamond, but a fair cut will not be as brilliant as a good cut. | |
Poor cut: Diamonds that are generally so deep and narrow or shallow and wide that they lose most of the light out the sides and bottom. Blue Nile does not carry diamonds with cut grades of poor. |
What Cut Grade Is Right For Me?

Apr 23 2015

In recent years, changes in the buyer's journey have had an enormous impact on marketers. The shift from outbound to inbound marketing has forced marketers to prioritize tactics like content marketing and search engine optimization over advertisements and cold calls to most effectively generate quality leads. The question is, what's working and what is outdated?
In this webinar, our panel of experts will discuss and debunk five of the most popular myths about lead generation:
1. Social media is ineffective for lead generation
2. New leads are immediately ready to be contacted
3. Webinars are a tired lead generation tactic
4. Lead quantity is more important than lead quality
5. Marketing qualified leads are unnecessary

Real-time marketing meets real-time research: Understanding Consumers' Digital Media Addiction
The goal for marketers is to present the right advertising message to the right person at the right time - no matter whether a person is surfing social media, watching television, checking their mobile phone or walking into a store. This becomes more and more difficult as media consumption is ever-changing. Furthermore, while we need to keep different communication methods in mind and optimise our messaging for the medium, we should also approach consumers holistically, understanding that they are who they are on mobile devices, in their cars listening to the radio, or while watching television.
In addition to dissecting the typical consumer and their media consumption, we'll discuss how this new world order requires complete cohesion between brands, their advertising and media agencies - all the while supported by smart, real-time market research. This presentation will focus on the consumers' role in that ecosystem and their ability to recognise and internalise the messages they are sent.

1. Social media is ineffective for lead generation
2. New leads are immediately ready to be contacted

It seems like a promising start. I suspect there aren't quite so many architectural adaptations to make for OS X apps as there would be for Win32, but that's just a naive assumption of mine based on what I know of Cocoa and Objective C.
Aside from Adobe CS, Final Cut, and some older game ports like The Sims 2, I'm not sure exactly what substantial gains a full OS X compatibility layer would grant us. Still, it's interesting and it may turn out to be valuable some day, if web technologies don't obsolete everything by then (we've probably got at least a decade).

Screening of "Why We Fight," "Zoned for Slavery," and "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices"
Presented by the Politics Department as part of the weekly film screening for Politics 101.

In graphics on Linux DRM means Direct Rendering Manager.
Oliver Ries blogged about this development providing a couple more technical details. As one might expect Mir development being focused mainly on mobile devices so far (phones, tablets) it doesn't provide Window Management.
I am calling it proof of concept not because of the quality of the code, but because there is more work to do to fully integrate Chromium with Mir, e.g. Mir does not provide Window Management, so Chromium will excel to its fullest extend only on Unity 8 on Mir.
In graphics on Linux DRM means Direct Rendering Manager.
on the linked ubuntu site it means not what you link to but the restriction management:
"DRM (digitial rights)" all incl. the stuff in the brackets is listed on the ubuntu site.
> diff Wayland Mir | wc -l
All that work just so Canonical can do like they did made Wayland. But on the other hand thank you canonical else I would sticked maybe another year or more with that bad os, with not only a bad init-system but also really bad defaults (kernel get never removed if you install updates so at some point you have 100 installed) and no ramfs/tmpfs and so on...
Well at least they showcase it better and film the screen using an external camera and not a screen recorder - or worse: run the thing atop X11.
Touch maybe isn't the right technology, because you can still see this horrible delay between the real world and the screen. Also the scrolling doesn't look smooth to me. Can't see if if it's a performance issue or the scroll steps being to coarse.
In either case this demo is almost as crappy as every other previous one (no matter if wayland or Mir).
What is the point in showing a window manager that isn't doing anything.
Show window resizing. Everything else is zero challenge.

The ring is pretty, and when I had it looked at by the jeweler they said that it was a 14k, 1/2 ct. as advertised. I thought it would sparkle more, but it's still ok. I checked the website a few weeks later and it was advertised almost $100 less than when I bought it!! Wish I had gotten it for the lower price... And the jeweler would've given it a price tag of about- around $500 only... :/
LOVE IT! My fiance just proposed to me last night with this ring! We had looked at several ones on OVERSTOCK and narrowed it down to this one! Very please!! Now we just have to find my wedding band!!!
Could not be any happier with this purchase! Arrived in a timely manner. It was everything and more of what my fiancé wanted! Looks amazing sitting on her finger.
This ring is absolutely beautiful. It is smaller than in the picture, however that does not take from the beauty of the ring. Absoutely love it, never want to take it off.

Paris has an excellent public transport system, divided into five zones radiating out from the centre; ticket prices vary according to the number of zones required. Public transport consists of buses, an underground metro, and express trains (RER). Taxis are also available. The easiest way to get around is on the metro and the subways are generally safe at all times. It is possible to transfer between the metro and the RER trains at no extra cost. The bus system is also extensive, but is slower, less frequent and best used for getting to destinations the metro does not cover. A nightbus service, Noctilien, covers the city between 1am and 5:30am. Taxis are readily available and can be hailed or caught at taxi ranks. Vélib' bicycle rentals are also popular for getting round town: pick up a bike at one of 1,450 stations and return it at any other (from €1 an hour).
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between last Sunday in March and last Sunday in October).
Electrical current is 220 volts, 50Hz. European two-pin plugs are standard.
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency in France. Currency can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and some large hotels, though you will get a better exchange rate at the ATMs. Major credit cards are widely accepted, particularly in major tourist destinations. Foreign currency is not accepted.
The international access code for France is +33. Most public telephones accept phone cards, which are available in newsagents. Most hotels add a surcharge to calls, which can be very expensive; the cheapest way to call abroad is often with a phone card from a public telephone or at a post office. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international mobile phone companies. Internet cafes are available in towns throughout France.
Emergencies: 112.
There is a good train service with the RER B line that serves the airport with connections to the city centre and the Metro station. From the airport RER B can be accessed from Terminal 2 railway station on the airport shuttle. The RER B line is serviced every fifteen minutes Monday through Friday and takes 50 minutes to the city centre, costing €9.75. The Roissy bus line also connects to the city centre and costs €11 for the 50-minute drive which buses depart for every 15-20 minutes between 7am and 11pm. Air France also runs buses to certain city destinations. The Noctilien night bus runs between 12:30am and 5am with fares depending on destination but starting from €8.
All major car rental companies are represented.
There are taxis outside the baggage reclaim area of the arrival terminals. The taxi fare to the city centre is generally €50-€70. Surcharges of up to 15 percent apply at night and on Sundays and public holidays.
The three terminals are linked by free shuttle buses.
There are ATMs, banks and bureaux de change in all terminals as well as a wide selection of shops, restaurants and bars. Terminal 1 also has a hairdresser and a business facility that includes meeting rooms, fax and photocopier. Mobile phones can be rented at the airport.
Short-term parking is available in lots P1, P3, and PAB, nearest to Terminal 1, starting at €5 for 30 minutes and escalating to €39 for 24 hours. Lots PCD and PEF are located near Terminal 2 and charge similar rates. Lot PR has lower long-term parking rates, charging €26 for the first day, €22 per day up to a week, and €8 per day thereafter; the lot is connected to all terminals via a free shuttle.
Free wifi is provided. Faster and more reliable Premium Wifi is also avaliable at a cost.

Hi, fellow subbers.
In the process of scratch building my 1:81 SSBN Ohio hull, I have gotten to the point where I need to build the control surfaces. They are, due to the scale 1:81, rather big. I had planned to take nylon blocks, and then cut, file and sand them info shape, but research prior to starting has proved that nylon is impossible to glue. (I wanna build the control surfaces in something solid to avoid them breaking later on, and because the solid weight will bring the hull in even better ballance. Also, solid objects support the shafts / hindges better.)
I then thought of using plexi glass... but it's too brittle, I fear..
Now.. is the best approach really to make'm in plaster, then make a mold, and then cast them in pure epoxy resin?
Any ideas / comments?

It is indeed refreshing to see this. Last time I checked out Mumble it was fairly early on, and upon the failure to put out a Linux client compatible with ALSA (for TeamSpeak) or a Linux client at all (speaking about Ventrilo), the Linux gaming community does deserve to have an up-to-date VoIP program for our gaming fix. Personally TS has worked really well for me, but being it only OSS and ts lack of ALSA (and dmix) support has caused that only people with hardware mixing sound chips can use it effectively. Now with PA things will be much different, as it matures (PA still doesn't play very nice with capture). It's been a while since I last checked out Muble, I must confess (about a year ago?) but from the sound of it, it has been making real strides. Will have to check it out soon.
Thanks for the heads up.

I stumbled across an online time / task tracking application earlier this year that caught my interest. It used a single input field for data entry that allowed specifying keywords / tags using the '@' sign. An example would be:
spent 4 hours trying to find time tracking app @wasted-time @12:00 @personal @sunday @follow-up
The app would then parse the keywords into additional fields about the entry.
I can't find it again, given the abundance of similar tools on the net, and don't remember other details. Can anyone help?

A Melange of Weekend Thoughts About the Angels and Otherwise
Trade deadlines. Unexpected fireworks at the Sunday Angels, Tigers game. And an anniversary. It's been quite the full weekend. Too full to cram everything into one coherent post so, in no particular order, here are some of the things on my mind:
- I am pleased the Angels didn't make a move before the non-waiver trade deadline. We could certainly use a reliable bat, but I didn't see anyone would really help the Angels sufficiently enough to justify what it would cost us to land him. No trading the rookies!! Or the near rookies for that matter!
- The announcers on the national broadcasts, be it ESPN or Fox, are terrible and one of the back-handed perks of being a smaller market team is not having to deal with them very often. On the flip side of this equation, hearing someone new drool in surprise over Peter Bourjos' speed in the outfield, Mark Trumbo's bat, Howie Kendrick's clutch glove and the like never gets old.
- If he had to get tossed, I wish Jered Weaver had gotten himself tossed one inning earlier because that finally got the offense awake and fired up enough to score some runs. With one more inning, who knows what could have happened.
- About Weaver getting tossed. Usually the amount of trash talk that goes on during a game is entertaining and probably helps guys keep a competitive edge. When it gets carried away, however, I feel the urge to knock heads together and tell everyone involved to grow up and just play baseball. This should have been over and done with after Weaver barked at Magglio Ordonez (who likely was just waiting to see if it was fair) and he came by the mound a few innings later for a little chat. But then things had to get even more stupid. Carlos Guillen was no more waiting to make sure the ball was fair than Weaver accidentally let the ball slip at Alex Avila's head. Enough already!
- Of course, I finally sat down with the game just in time for the real blowup in the 7th inning and had to catch up on the preliminaries leading up to it after the fact. Seth and I have been trying to get in extra long bike rides every other Sunday or so, today we tackled the San Gabriel River Trail…all of it. 38.9 miles from the trail head one long block above our house in Azusa down the river all the way to the ocean in Seal Beach. It was absolutely awesome!! But grueling enough that I didn't have it in me to tack on one last mile's tour around the parking lot after we left the trail to make it an even 40. Today, my jurisdiction ended right here, when the trail did. Next time.
- In his post game interview today, Justin Verlander referred to Erik Aybar's bunt "attempt" in the 8th inning as bush league. No, sweetheart, that wasn't bush league. Your throw to first? Now that was bush league. I'm sorry, but I have never understood the "unwritten rule" against busting up a no-hitter with a bunt. Is the team being no hit supposed to just roll over and let the opposing pitcher have the no hitter? Hell no. That cheapens the whole concept. A baseball team should continue trying to win, no hitter or not, by whatever means they have at their disposal. And if you are a Cy Young candidate caliber pitcher in the middle of a no hitter, and a guy who routinely leads the league in bunt singles comes up to bat, and you aren't prepared for him to do just that, is that really something you want to admit to in public, let alone gripe about? Truly it defies logic.
- Nothing in the above rant is meant to take away from Verlander's amazing pitching performance. His fastball was faster in the 8th inning than it was in the 4th and every bit as accurate! There is a reason he has garnered all of the accolades he has this season, he's earned every single one. I put Jered Weaver in the same category. However on Sunday Verlander was the better pitcher and Weaver let himself get rattled a little too easily, provoked or not.
- Mike Trout shared the outfield with Peter Bourjos on Wednesday for Santana's No Hitter and then pinch hit for Bobby Abreu on Friday…and hasn't played since. I don't think this, the not playing much part, is the usual plan for 19 year old prospects with promise and for good reason. Trout needs to play almost every day. So if we're not going to play him a few times a week in more than a pinch hitter role – and I do understand that our outfield is crowded and Trout has a few things to work on – then send him down to AAA until September.
- And last, but certainly not least, a personal note to my wonderful husband where I know he will read it: Happy 12th Anniversary! From the first date that adamantly was not a date at all – until it absolutely was! – to now, hands down, this is the best. Sumer fling. Ever! And we're just getting started. :)

Congrats on your anniversary! Your trail ride sounds awesome. Having a trail head in your backyard, even better. Got a little wild yesterday, yes, but I think the worst is yet to come as Weaver is bound to miss a start. Not real good timing.
Thanks Jeff! Yes, having the trail head up the street is wonderful. I am trying not to think about the suspension. At least it will come against Seattle if it's the next start. I miss the days when the umpires stayed out of this stuff unless it became a brawl and the pitchers just policed things themselves. If this scenario had arisen with say Nolan Ryan and Hershiser on the mounds, the problems would have been wrapped up after the initial exchange and with a lot less whining on both sides.

I don't think Weaver deserves a six gamer. I think it stated as basically a mis-understanding and the game was just intense with two aces facing off, and two teams in a division race. It was a good series, though.
I see Trout was sent back down, but I'm sure we'll see him back in the bigs soon.
Tigers will try to beat up on the Rangers a bit for you, too…
'Minoring In Baseball'
Mike – I'm torn on that one. He did throw over Avila's head (what happened to pegging them someplace harmless?) and if he had slipped…well, that could have been tragic. Besides Carrasco just got the same suspension for the same reason. That said, I agree – it was a fun series. Both teams were extra fired up and that made the outcome anything but certain in all four games. Trout will be back. They can't play him much now and he needs to play every day. And to the Tigers I say thank you for last night's win and keep it up against the Rangers. :)

39 miles on a bike…….that's a full afternoon. Weaver will get his suspension cut to 3 or 4 games, but I would have given him the full 6. He threw a ball at another players head! No excuse for that.
Actually, Russel, it wasn't the whole afternoon. Ride time was three hours, with about a extra half hour worth of rest spread in there. I am stupidly proud of this, by the way. :)
I don't think Weave will get the suspension cut down. Carrasco wasn't able to. He actually threw over Avila's head, not at it, which is a little bit different, but I don't agree with throwing at or over the head either. Weave's accurate, but not perfect and if he'd slipped?? Look at Marlon Byrd this season and that was an accident, a really scary accident. Hit him in the butt or pitch him inside and make him dive by all means, but no literal head hunting please.
— Kristen
So are the pitcher and the catcher on the same team? I can't find out the answer to this simple question.
In Major League Baseball and other competitive baseball leagues (High School, College, etc.), yes, the pitcher and the catcher you see on the field together are on the same team. But there are also some youth and adult recreational baseball and softball leagues where you pitch to your own team, so in these cases the pitcher and catcher you see on the field together are on different teams. Hope this helps.
