Waino, Odorizzi set for rematch of duel in opener
Cards ace, Rays rookie to kick off two-game set in St. Louis
On Tuesday night at Busch Stadium, the Cardinals and Rays will open their second series of the season much like they did their first.
St. Louis ace Adam Wainwright will square off against Tampa Bay rookie Jake Odorizzi -- who grew up close to St. Louis in Highland, Ill. -- just as they did on June 10 at Tropicana Field.
That game was a pitchers' duel, with Wainwright throwing seven scoreless innings to beat Odorizzi, 1-0, although the Rays' right-hander threw 7 1/3 innings of one-run ball.
Tuesday's start will be Wainwright's first since pitching an inning in the All-Star Game -- his last start of the first half was July 12. The Cardinals opted not to pitch him in the first series out of the break so that they could get the righty some additional rest.
"I think they're just being real cautious of making sure that I'm going to be prepared to go the rest, because this is going to be a pretty torrid race through the end of the season," Wainwright said of his extra rest. "I think they're mindful of that and they need me to be out there every fifth day. I don't need to be skipping starts. I feel very good, so I don't think I would have done that anyway."
Wainwright dominated the Rays last month despite pitching with extreme pain in his right forearm. It was enough discomfort that Wainwright skipped his next start. He recently said he hasn't had any arm issues since.
Dating back to early June, one start before the one in St. Petersburg, Wainwright has thrown seven or more innings and allowed no more than two runs in each of his last seven outings. In that time, he's allowed a total of six runs in 52 2/3 innings for a 1.03 ERA.
He'll be facing a Rays team that is coming off a three-game sweep of the Twins in Minnesota.
Like Wainwright, Odorizzi also has been pitching his best baseball of the season since his first start against the Cardinals. On Tuesday, though, he'll get to do something he hasn't done since high school -- hit.
"Maybe [Wainwright will] pipe him one," Odorizzi's teammate Chris Archer joked, referencing Wainwright's comments about facing Derek Jeter in the All-Star Game. "He might pipe him one, you never know."
Cardinals: Back in familiar territory
The wins haven't come as easily as they did in the Cardinals' 97-win 2013 campaign, but as the July 31 Trade Deadline nears, the Cardinals still find themselves right where most analysts predicted them to be -- atop the National League Central.
St. Louis has won seven of its last 10 games and is tied with Milwaukee. The Cardinals have caught the Brewers after spending much of the season chasing them, but with the Pirates 1 1/2 games back and the Reds 2 1/2 back, manager Mike Matheny is already in playoff mode.
"There is no time to take a breath. Fortunately, we have a day off [Monday] and we'll take a breath then. But we have to keep the throttle down every single day."
Rays: Longoria sets franchise double record, ties RBI mark
Evan Longoria claimed a piece of the Rays' record book on Sunday when he passed former Tampa Bay outfielder Carl Crawford for the club's doubles record with 216 and tied Crawford's career RBI mark at 592.
Longoria led off the third inning of Sunday's game against the Twins at Target Field by hitting an 0-2 pitch from Kevin Correia into the left-field corner for a double. That tied Crawford.
Longoria added an RBI double in the sixth off right-hander Samuel Deduno to set the career doubles mark, and the RBI pulled him into a tie with Crawford.
Crawford played for the Rays from 2002-10. Longoria arrived to the Rays in 2008. Ben Zobrist, who's been with the Rays since 2006, is close behind with 214 doubles.
Worth noting
• Second baseman Kolten Wong is likely to be back in the St. Louis lineup after sitting on Sunday. He sat for matchup reasons, as the Cardinals were facing a tough lefty in Clayton Kershaw.
• Rays pitchers are on pace for 1,409 strikeouts this season, which would rank second in Major League history to the 2013 Tigers (1,428). The club record is 1,383 in 2012, which ranks fifth in Major League history.

As hundreds of rockets are launched in the Middle East by Hamas and Israel, the heaviest violence in the area in four years is sparking concern in South Florida.
Chaim Shacham, the Israel Consul General in Miami, reacted Thursday as Palestinian militants continued rocket attacks on Israeli civilians and Israel pounded what it called terror sites.
"There were several Israelis hurt," said Shacham. "The threat comes from Hamas. When they no longer threaten, we won't take action to defend ourselves."
The airstrikes between the two continued into Friday morning. A visit from Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Kandil had prompted a three-hour truce, but it was broken. Kandil said Egypt will do all it can to make sure a truce is reached.
Israel reported three people were killed, and Palestinians reported 19 deaths. Hamas gave conflicting information as to how many of them were Hamas militants.
"I'm very worrisome," said Wilfredo Ruiz with the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "A lot of people have families there."
At least 300 rockets from Gaza have been fired into Israel since "Operation Pillar of Defense" began Wednesday, the Israeli military said. Israel's Iron Dome defense system has intercepted 130, the Israel Defense Forces said. The al-Qassam Brigade, Hamas' military arm, said on its Twitter feed that it had shot 527 projectiles at Israel in that time.
"Why it comes again? Because the conditions...have not changed," said Ruiz. "The avenue they see is the extremist and violent avenue."
"We decided enough is enough. Every county has not just the right, but the responsibility to defend its citizens," said Shacham.
Ruiz said South Florida's Muslim community is praying for a peaceful solution.
"With strong diplomacy, international diplomacy, it is possible," said Ruiz. "It's not true that Muslims and Jews cannot live together in peace, side by side."
According to reports, Israel is preparing for peace by considering a plan to deploy 30,000 troops on the ground.

Chicago Cutlery® Warranty
Chicago Cutlery knife products (does not include cutting boards) are warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal household use for the lifetime of the product. Any piece found to be defective will be repaired or replaced at no charge with the same item or an item of equal or greater value. This warranty is not valid for products damaged by misuse, for purposes other than normal household use, or failure to follow the manufacturer's Use and Care instructions. In no event is World Kitchen, LLC liable for consequential damages.
Chicago Cutlery® Use & Care
Knife Care
For best results, hand-wash your knives with a soapy cloth and dry immediately. Soaking wood-handled knives in water can remove the natural oils from the handles. Dishwashing may cause nicks on the blade edges. Additionally, the heat and detergent may have a corrosive effect on the knives.
Sharpeners are not for use on scalloped or serrated edges. For optimum performance, knives should be sharpened after every couple of uses. Use a scouring powder to clean and remove metal particles from your sharpening steel. After cleaning the steel, rinse with water, dry it thoroughly and store in a dry place.
Sharpening Steel
- Hold sharpening steel point down on flat stable surface such as a table or cutting board.
- Angle knife blade approximately 15 degrees from the sharpening steel. Imagine the knife blade is at approximately 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock.
- Pull the knife down and across the sharpening steel in a slight arc, pulling the knife handle toward you.
- Repeat on the other side of the steel.
- Repeat these steps 3-5 times, alternating the right and left side of the cutting edge.
- MagnaSharp® in Block sharpener
- Insert your fine edged knife into the sharpening slot.
- While applying slight downward pressure on the knife edge, pull the knife out of the slot.
- Repeat this 3-4 times, and your knife edge will be realigned and sharpened.
MagnaSharp® Mouse Sharpener
It is small enough to store in a drawer or, better yet, the back side is a magnet so you can place it on the refrigerator, your stove, or anywhere close to your cutlery.
- Open the sharpening area.
- Insert your fine edged knife into the sharpening slot.
- While applying slight downward pressure on the knife edge, pull the knife through.
- Repeat this 3-4 times, and your knife edge will be realigned and sharpened.
Sharp knives should never be stored loose in a drawer because contact with hard objects can dull the blade and reaching into a knife drawer can be very dangerous. Many Chicago Cutlery® sets are sold with a hardwood block for safe, convenient storage. MagnaStrip™ storage is another way for convenient and safe storage, saving counter space with a magnetic strip.
- Use the correct size and type of knife for the job.
- Cut away from the body when possible.
- Use knives with a wooden or polyethylene cutting board.
- Do not use a knife to stab, pull or lift materials.
- After handling a knife, lay it down in a cleared area with the blade away from the body and a safe distance from the edge of the cutting area.
- Do not reach blindly for a knife; reach deliberately for the handle.
- Never try to catch a falling knife.

After offensive outburst, Twins out to back Correia
White Sox ace Sale aims to halt his three-game skid, even series
Before Tuesday's game against the White Sox, the Twins had been limited to just three hits in three of their last four games and were averaging just 3.4 runs in June. Then they had a breakthrough, collecting 13 hits in a 7-5 victory.
Wednesday's game at Target Field will show if Minnesota can sustain that offensive outburst.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire is confident his club can score more runs, especially after they averaged 4.0 runs per game in April and 4.5 in May.
"We've pretty good hitters in there but right now, it's so much about timely hits but just hits," Gardenhire said before Tuesday's game. "We haven't been getting a whole lot of them. We just need guys to put better swings on the ball and when they get in hitter's counts, not miss them."
Right-hander Kevin Correia will be on the hill for the Twins, after allowing one run on eight hits in five innings against the Phillies in his last start.
Meanwhile, left-hander Chris Sale gets the nod for the White Sox, hoping to snap his three-game losing streak.
Despite that mark, Sale's given up just five earned runs in 21 1/3 innings during those three starts. Four came on a grand slam by A's third baseman Josh Donaldson.
On Friday against the Astros, Sale allowed two runs (none earned) on five hits in eight innings, falling to 5-5 with a 2.43 ERA.
"Absolutely one of the best [pitchers] we've faced this year," Houston second baseman Jose Altuve said. "If we face him again, he'll be one of the best then, too. We're going to do the best we can, but he had his stuff all night."
White Sox: Ventura urges Viciedo to be patient
• Sox 24-year-old left-fielder Dayan Viciedo has been inconsistent, going just 7-for-40 in his last 11 games. However, he gained some confidence on Monday after hitting a three-run triple in the sixth inning of a 4-2 win over the Astros.
"It's always good team-wise when you get a big hit, but that one for him, I think, with how his last couple weeks have been going, it's a big one for him just to kind of get that going -- to do something meaningful," said manager Robin Ventura.
Ventura noted that working on hitting is difficult and that it is especially important to remind younger players that change isn't always immediate.
"I think with hitting, you have to be able to kind of stick with it, even though it might not be immediate feedback from one at-bat to another," Ventura said. "It's a process. Over the course of the year, you know what's best for him. He has to be able to buy into that. He has to be able to see that."
Twins: Willingham back in lineup
• Josh Willingham, who had a cortisone shot in his left knee on Saturday, returned to the lineup on Tuesday, starting in left field and batting cleanup.
Willingham missed two straight games with soreness in his left knee on Saturday and Sunday before using Monday's off-day to give his knee another day of rest. However, he felt good enough to make his first start in the outfield on Tuesday since June 9.
"Willingham feels good," Gardenhire said. "So we'll see what happens."
He finished 1-for-4 with a run scored.
Worth noting
• The White Sox are 5-15 since hitting the .500 mark May 26.
• Against the White Sox, Correia is 0-1 with a 5.14 ERA.

Looking for Speaker Wire?
Start shoppingVideo: AudioQuest Speaker Cable
Learn about some of AudioQuest's most popular speaker cable lines, and how to know if they're a good choice for your system.
Dave: AudioQuest's design philosophy or goal is above all else, "do no harm." It's kind of like the Hippocratic Oath of speaker cables. They know that you can't improve on the original signal, but that you can minimize the loss of sound quality that happens as the signal travels through all of the cables in your system.
Steve: Yep. And we know that not everyone agrees that speaker cables can make a difference. Some people have never heard that kind of improvement before, and admittedly it gets easier to hear as your equipment gets better and more revealing. But if you like to listen closely and you have decent gear, we think the chances are that you will hear an improvement.
Dave: And one of the things that we've noticed most in speaker cables is better definition in the bass.
Steve: Better sound staging.
Dave: Right. Better, deeper sound staging and more high-frequency detail, and better clarity.
Steve: So in this video we're going to talk about what makes AudioQuest cables different, and give you an overview of their speaker wire lines.
Dave: Right. We're going to try to give you some advice on choosing the right wire for your system.
Steve: AudioQuest makes a broad range of speaker cables, and we're just going to talk about some of the key things that they have in common.
Dave: Right. They focus closely on the quality of materials used, including ultra-high-purity copper, and they pay close attention to just how those wires are arranged and wrapped inside of the cable.
Steve: Yeah, and AudioQuest uses fewer and larger copper strands than other cables that you might have seen. And all of these design details contribute to minimizing the potential sources of distortion.
Dave: Now we'll take a look at some specific lines. AudioQuest G2 entry-level cable is a great place to start for people who want better sound.
Steve: And this is X2 which is like G2 but it's a little thicker. It's got more copper, so it's for longer runs or for higher powered systems.
Dave: If you're a careful listener and you really want to get the best out of your system, AudioQuest Type 4 cable makes a great choice. It's ideal for music, and it gives you crystal-clear dialogue and sound effects with home theater systems.
Steve: It's a pretty big upgrade over the speaker cables that we've been talking about, and one of the first differences you'll notice is the banana connectors at both ends. These are silver-plated copper for really superior signal transfer and in general, banana connectors are a really easy, secure way to connect your speakers. They're a lot easier than, you know, trying to wrap the bare wire around the speaker posts.
Dave: Very convenient. And one of the biggest improvements in Type 4 is one that you can't see, because this cable uses solid core conductors.
Steve: And we've already talked about how AudioQuest prefers to use fewer and larger strands of copper, but this is even a step further.
Dave: Right. The conductors inside are individually insulated to isolate them from each other and remove any potential sources of distortion.
Steve: AudioQuest CV-4 is aimed at the serious listener with high-end gear — someone who really pays a lot of attention to the music; you know, really likes to sit down and listen and really wants to optimize their system.
Dave: Right. And one of the things that you'll see on the CV-4 is — it's kind of unusual and you may not have seen on cables before — is this battery pack. And, I'm about to get a little geeky on you here, but AudioQuest calls this their "Dielectric Bias System" or DBS and if you're the kind of listener who likes to warm their system up before really doing any serious listening.
Steve: Yeah, we do.
Dave: Yeah you'll love the cables because this battery keeps a constant voltage on the dielectric, or insulator, inside the cable. And that helps to keep the material aligned to match the signal flow, and it's almost like having a pre-warmed up, pre-broken in cable.
Steve: Also CV-4 uses higher-quality copper. It's what AudioQuest calls their "Perfect-Surface Copper," and I think our impressions have both been that the sound really is a little smoother and clearer.
Dave: CV-8 is the best AudioQuest speaker cable that we sell.
Steve: And I've actually been using CV-8 at home for about the last year or so, and I've been an audiophile for over 25 years, and I've used a bunch of different speaker cables, but CV-8 is definitely the best speaker cable I've ever used.
Dave: Yeah it's kind of like a revved-up CV-4. But AudioQuest uses more conductors so it's a thicker cable for better signal transfer.
Steve: It's a really good choice for very particular listeners. If you've got high-powered amps, if you've got speakers that are really revealing, if you're a demanding audiophile, CV-8 is something you should really listen to.
Dave: If you want to learn more about AudioQuest speaker cables, check out our website at crutchfield.com.
Steve: And if you need some help choosing the right cable for your system and listening preferences, just call our advisors.

International Studies website
Ship Career Development Center
Students must find their own internships. The International Studies website and Ship Career Development Center are good places to start looking for information. There are many possibilities in Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York city. Large internship programs have application procedures. In other cases, students can find placements through their own efforts by making phone calls and sending out resumes with cover letters.
An International Studies Internship allows you to gain college credit for work at an internationally-related business, organization, or government agency in the U.S. or overseas. Even though most internships are unpaid, they provide an opportunity to obtain valuable on-the-job experience. Gaining familiarity with a workplace can help you to decide whether a particular career is right for you. Also, in the competition for entry-level positions and graduate school admissions, students with relevant internship experience have an advantage.
Students must…
Internship Instructions, Applications, Deadlines and Forms
1) When an internship is confirmed, students must obtain an on-site supervisor. The Director of International Studies will serve as the Ship internship adviser. The on-site supervisor and Director of International Studies will be responsible for evaluating an intern's performance.
2) Students should submit a completed Letter of Agreement (Internship Application) to the International Studies Office.
3) After the signed Letter of Agreement is submitted to the Director of International Studies, the student should register for INT 390 in the semester of the internship.
4) An IS internship is a fantastic experience, but there are potential complications. Since internship sites normally are far from Shippensburg and earn a maximum of 6 IS credits, being away from campus during fall or spring potentially can extend your undergraduate career by an extra semester. There are several ways to work around this problem. One is to do the internship during the summer. Another is to combine the internship with off-campus study, doing a 3-6 credit internship while taking 9-12 credits of academic courses. This option involves registering for the classes and internship at an university near the internship site and transferring the credits to Ship. Internship programs, like The Washington Center, handle these kinds of arrangements for you. Finally, if you are planning to work 360-480 hours at the internship, you may be able to earn an additional 3-6 credits from your major department, for a total of 9-12 Ship credits. This requires permission of the IS director, your major department, and the Dean of A&S.
A Pass/Fail grade will be awarded based on the following items:
Each student must develop a reading list related to his or her internship totaling approximately 150-300 pages. The readings can be books, articles, training manuals, or web pages that provide background on the worksite. For example, an intern at the U.S. State Department might choose to read relevant parts of the State Department website and a book on U.S. foreign policy.
Students must keep a journal about the internship experience. Entries should describe activities at the workplace and provide personal reactions to each selection on the reading list. You MUST start the journal on the first day of work or when you begin your readings, whichever comes first. Each entry should identify your name, date, internship location, hours worked that day and cumulative hours worked. The journal must have daily entries for the first two weeks of the internship. Thereafter only one entry per week is required, but you are free to add more. The journal MUST be typed, double-spaced and submitted to the Director of International Studies on a weekly basis. It may be mailed or submitted as an e-mail attachment. Send to Director of International Studies, Campus Box 59, Shippensburg University, 1871 Old Main Drive, Shippensburg, PA, 17257 or email@example.com.
Students must submit a 5-10 page paper (typed, double-spaced). The paper should 1) summarize activities at the internship site, 2) describe how you met the educational goals stated on your Internship Application form, and 3) reflect on how the internship experience relates to the internship readings and previous coursework in International Studies. Submit the paper to the Director of International Studies at the end of the internship.
A "Student Internship Evaluation" form (Internship Application) must be completed and submitted to the Director of International Studies at the end of the internship, preferably with the final paper.
The Internship Supervisor will send Midterm and Final Evaluations directly to the Director of International Studies. Please be sure that your supervisor has these forms (Internship Application).

If the end of the Mayan calendar signals a Biblical-sized flood, one man will be really prepared.
After 20 years, Johan Huibers has finished building a full-scale Noah's Ark, People reports.
The Dutch man used the Bible as his guide, converting cubits to modern measurements. His Ark is 427 feet long, 85 feet wide and 75 feet high.
Which shows have been renewed and which have been canceled?
Still, Huibers' Ark has nothing to do with a specific impending date. "I had a call from American television," he told the Associated Press. "This has nothing to do with the end of the Mayan calendar." Instead, he says, it's about what the Bible prophesizes. "I want to make people question that so that they go looking for answers," he says.
The Ark is currently home to a small petting zoo, a restaurant and a movie theater.

Last night I picked up my custom board at Tom's shop last night and only one word comes to mind WOW!

Last night I picked up my custom board at Tom's shop last night and only one word comes to mind WOW!

Awesome.... really, really nice. Good luck with that beauty....
thats a really nice looking board. whats the dims? and who is Tom?
Russ contacted me and was interested in a board and after having him come to my shop and telling me what he wanted I came up with this new design for him. Russ wanted it to look like wood so I did a wood tint color with a double cut lap and high gloss. The dims are 6'8" x 22" x 3" with retro look and the rest is high performance.
Peajay I'm Tom
Nice Tom,
always making me strive harder to be as global as you!
Nice to meet you too. You can call me 908-415-4630 and or come by my shop and throw around a few ideas.
Thanks for the comments.I've been wanting a single fin for quite some time now.I didn't see anything I fell in love with so I got together with Mahady and he spent a couple days on this shape. Its half lighting bolt and half egg.I wanted something with a brown tint for that woodgrain look.Tom hit a home run with it.Mahady keeps you in the loop from beginning to end.Ater he's finished shaping he wants you to check it out,when its time to throw on the tint he wants you to pick it.I was telling him last night in ths last 2 and a half weeks we texted each other about 200 times.Thats what you want from your board builder.
Tom if you still have those 2 pictures of the board standing in your shop I think thats a good shot of it,maybe you can throw those pics up.

Son of a Witch: Volume Two in the Wicked Years (Paperback)
In this captivating New York Times bestseller, beloved author Gregory Maguire returns to the land of Oz and introduces us to Liir, an adolescent boy last seen hiding in the shadows of the castle after Dorothy did in the Witch. Is he really Elphaba's son? He has her broom and her cape--but what of her powers? In an Oz that, since the Wizard's departure, is under new and dangerous management, can Liir keep his head down long enough to grow up?
About the Author
Gregory Maguire is the author of several best-selling adult novels, including Wicked, which was turned into a Broadway musical. His books for younger readers include the picture book Crabby Cratchitt, the novel The Good Liar, and the popular Hamlet Chronicles series.

When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.

One anecdote from one guy who ran into one stupid problem years ago does not make for an interesting story. It is also not evidence that the Catalyst drivers are, today on modern hardware, junk.
One anecdote from one guy who ran into one stupid problem years ago does not make for an interesting story. It is also not evidence that the Catalyst drivers are, today on modern hardware, junk.
fglrx only shows "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc." when it detects glxinfo, take a look at /etc/ati/atiogl.xml
Code:<!-- glxinfo --> <profile exename="glxinfo"> <OpenGLCapsEx>0x02000000</OpenGLCapsEx> </profile>
Will this Catalyst hate of Michael Larabel never end? Will there be a time when he is bored of that ATI/AMD bashing?
I mean, you can find a person that hates a specific software - for every software. But, only Catalyst haters will make it on the Phoronix front page.
I, for example could hate the nvidia driver as it triggered Kwin slow downs in my notebook for years. There were many complaints in the nvnews forum and Kwin coder Martin was really annoyed of the nvidia-black-box...
The thing is: I installed Fedora_17_x64 on three friends computers. One of them has a fast RadeonHD6970 card, the others an Nvidia_Fermi version. We agreed to play together the famous MMORPG Tera_Online, on Linux-Wine-Winetricks. The one with AMD card had to go back to dual installation with Windows7, wile i try to convince him to sell the card (a card that doesn't play half the D3D games). That's not WINEs fault, the game doesn't wont the card because its crappy. I am not a fan of any company and I dislike monetary-systems, but if you want the good stuff (Linux), you there are 2 roads: 1)If you are a gamer, you buy Nvidia. 2)If you not, you buy Intel and free stuff.
Well I find nvidia's installer way more difficult to use especially for new linux users than AMD's one, I don't like the way nvidia treats the community by using only proprietary ways in enabling their devices (I fully agree with Linus) , don't forget that VDPAU in order to work needs the nvidia blob to be installed...
In real life the only disadvantage I see between the 2 blobs is that AMD's XVBA is still practically useless and still only with the VAAPI workaround can be of any use.
I use a Radeon HD 5850 card and never had problems with Catalyst nor Gallium 3D except in the 2nd case the fan noise and not dropping down the clocks.
By the way a friend of mine owns a Sapphire HD 6970 card and doesn't seem to run on any problems with D3D games at the small n' soft OS.
For me intel is just something to laugh about in the graphics industry and design, no matter how open or good are their drivers the hardware is at least awful... Even the HD 4000 cores cannot compete at all with AMD llano APUs not to say about trinity...
Definately for me Catalyst is not junk but it has to completely reject the pre new era stuff from its lines of code!
1) Your friend lie to you. Its not just the AMD Driver, but the hardware its a 3 times crap. X1900-HD3000=fake GPGPU promise. HD4000=broken OpenCL. HD5000-HD6000=no atomic operation exposure and anything lower than assembly (nothing like C-amp will work). HD7000=driver cheats in quality, so they pretend a 3.8Tflops@32bit card can be on par with Kepler(3.2Tflops@64bit__6.4Tflops@32bit) that is 70+% stronger. And on top of that half the D3D games wont even start and some times even OpenGL games will crush. VDPAU will not wok even if a developer try to do it, the cards are not just capable. And even if it work, i don't think that will do for the advanced futures of H264.
2) Intel HD4000 is on par with a 500Gflops 400shaders card, both on Windows and Linux. The code of Linux Driver its much more cleaner than Catalyst or Nvidia. Yes they don't have some futures, but everything they have works better than closed shit, and when the time comes and they have better things like Tessellation, they will crush the others.

Invention and innovation: an introduction
This unit aims to provide an understanding of invention, design, innovation and diffusion as ongoing processes with a range of factors affecting success at each stage. You will gain an understanding of the factors that motivate individuals and organisations to invent, and the creative process by which individuals come up with ideas for new inventions and designs, and you will gain an understanding of the obstacles that have to be overcome to bring an invention to market and the factors that influence the successful diffusion of an innovation into widespread use.
In Part 1 I invite you to look around at the technological products in your home or at work and consider their development history and their impact on the lives of you and your family. I then define the key concepts associated with the process of invention, design, innovation and diffusion.
Part 2 considers what motivates individuals and organisations to invent in the first place and how individuals come up with ideas for new designs and inventions.
Part 3 examines how technical, financial and organisational obstacles have to be overcome in order to bring an invention to the market. Once on the market a number of factors influence how well an innovation will sell.

Nissan's outrageous GT-R-based Juke-R - 480 bhp crossover city car to evaluate public reaction
UPDATED: NEW VIDEO Nissan is building two Juke-R concept cars. The tiny rocketships will be comprised of the all-wheel-drive drive-train and 480 bhp 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine from the Nissan GT-R supercar wedged into Nissan's diminutive crossover city car. The cars are being built by RML for Nissan Technical Centre for Europe (NTC-E) with a view to testing the "public's reaction to a seriously sporty Juke." The performance of the tiny super-city car is not yet known, but given the horsepower and dimensions of the vehicle, it will no doubt be one of the fastest accelerating roadcars in existence. There's also just a hint that should reaction be positive, it just might eventuate as a production model.

Kosher Appetizers
Fried Zucchini |
KosherEye.comby Chef Laura Frankel, LaurasKosherKitchen This quick and crispy snack can be done with any vegetable. I have used patty pan squash, eggplant, thinly sliced sweet potatoes and mushrooms. I serve the veggies with a garlickylemon aioli that is made with a delicious extra virgin olive oil. Ingredients: 3 egg whites, whisked Garnishes: grated parmesan cheese (optional), chopped fresh mint Directions: Cut the zucchini into 1/4 inch thick coins. Add enough potato starch to the whisked egg whites to make a batter. Whisk to mix. Heat the oil to 360 degrees. Dredge the zucchini pieces in the batter and gently drop them into the heated oil. Fry on both sides until the batter has become translucent and pulled away from the zucchini. The batter will not brown much as the potato starch does not have protein that flour does which browns. Drain the zucchini pieces on a paper towel lined pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper and cheese and chopped mint if desired. Serve with Garlicky-Lemon Aioli Sauce.

Series: "Lost World of Genesis One" Book Club (7 entries)

Companion series to the spring 2015 book club featuring "The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate" by John Walton.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
The words we use to talk about the Bible and science often predispose us towards unnecessary conflicts.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Augustine had a great deal to say about those chapters in Genesis that are especially controversial within Christianity today.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.

This paper has been prepared to provide some broad background material for the workshop regarding organized crime and human trafficking that took place during Vienna Forum .A number of transnational organized crime groups are heavily involved in human trafficking. On the other hand, human trafficking is also carried out by actors who are not part of transnational organized crime groups or even non-transnational organized crime groups. The start point for discussing the relationship between transnational organized crime and trafficking in persons must be the definitions of both trafficking in persons and transnational organized crime and an exploration of how these concepts interact with each other.

Braves aim to pad East lead with sweep in Miami
With firm grasp on division, Atlanta asks Maholm to finish Turner, Fish
The National League East race has tightened a bit since Atlanta's red-hot start to the season. But if the Braves continue to reel off victories, no one is going to catch them.
On Wednesday afternoon, the NL East leaders go for a sweep in Miami, having spent an MLB-high 99 days in first place. By virtue of its current six-game lead over Washington, Atlanta will have made it an even 100 by the end of the day.
Hoping to spoil the Braves' party will be Marlins right-hander Jacob Turner, who took his first loss of the season in his last time out in St. Louis on Friday. Still, the 22-year-old has looked very sharp in his seven starts, going 2-1 with a 2.30 ERA.
Turner has already posted five quality starts, including a complete-game gem against the Padres in his most recent outing at Marlins Park. He says that past success is all he needs to put his last outing -- four earned runs allowed in six innings in his home state of Missouri -- behind him.
"I'm going to have confidence if I give up 10 runs in the first inning," Turner said. "That's just what you've got to go out there with. You've got to go out there with that mindset that no matter what happened the pitch before or the inning before or the at-bat before, that you're going to get that next guy out."
Opposite Turner will be Braves left-hander Paul Maholm (9-7, 3.81 ERA). Opponents are batting .328 against the veteran southpaw in his past five starts, and he's been a victim of the home run ball, allowing five during that time.
Maholm has been immensely better at home this season than on the road, where he is 4-5 with a 5.18 ERA and just one victory in his last six starts. But in his lone outing at Marlins Park this season, Maholm was brilliant, tossing seven innings of one-hit ball in a 2-0 Braves victory on April 8.
Braves: Teammates support Freeman
• Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman is among five NL All-Star Game Final Vote candidates, and his teammates feel he's certainly deserving of a berth.
"He should have been on the All-Star team to start with," right-hander Tim Hudson said. "But [the Final Vote] is bringing some recognition to the kind of player he is. I think he's been very underrated around baseball."
Said hitting coach Greg Walker: "He values RBIs and helping the team. You put him in a RBI situation, and he's about as good as it gets."
Freeman is hitting .305 with nine homers and 56 RBIs on the year.
Marlins: Hechavarria streaking
• With his second-inning single on Tuesday night, Adeiny Hechavarria extended his career-high hitting streak to nine games.
During that span, the 24-year-old Marlins shortstop is batting .417, including a 2-for-4 night on Tuesday.
Hechavarria has faced Maholm once in his career, going 0-for-3 in that April 8 contest.
Worth noting
• Juan Pierre and Donovan Solano are the only Marlins hitters with at least 10 at-bats against Maholm. Pierre is 5-for-18 with a triple, and Solano is 2-for-10 with a three-bagger, as well.
• The Braves have now won six straight over Miami at Marlins Park, dating back to September of last season.
• Miami starting pitchers have allowed more than three runs just three times in their past 22 games. During that time, they've posted a 3.01 ERA.
