http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archi...070416comp.htmSTORAGE NETWORKING WORLD, San Diego, April 16, 2007 Intel Corporation today announced the industry's first 2U, 12 drive, integrated quad-core storage server: the Intel Storage Server SSR212MC2. This hardware platform enables a new price/performance class for the small- and medium-sized business (SMB) market. Powered by the quad-core Intel® Xeon® processor 5300 series, this new rack mount server can be configured as a broad range of enterprise and small business storage solutions, including Network-Attached Storage (NAS), Storage Area Network (SAN) and application servers.
Since introducing the first-ever quad core processors in November of last year, Intel is now shipping 12 different server and desktop processors with four processing engines or cores. Intel had expanded the line to the embedded market in early April and now to the storage industry.
The Intel Storage Server SSR212MC2 also comes with an option of including one or two Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5100 series processors, as well as a choice of enterprise-class Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) or high-capacity Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives.
"Intel has made it easier and more cost-effective for storage solution providers to bring enterprise-class storage solutions to businesses of all sizes with this highly customizable system," said Mike Wall, general manager, Intel Storage Group. "With more than twice the performance improvement over our previous product generation, the SSR212MC2 hardware platform provides resellers and integrators a high-performing building block upon which they can build effective solutions."
Several companies are supporting the SSR212MC2, including Microsoft*, FalconStor*, Open-E*, Open SuSE*, RedHat* and Wasabi Systems*. Intel worked closely with these independent software vendors (ISVs) to validate and ensure solution providers would experience easy integration of their operating systems and/or applications with the new storage platform.

This is a cute small bag. It looks great with jeans and boots for fall. It's small but can hold a wallet, large cosmetic bag, keys and an ereader with no issues. I like the material and leather smell. I will but more purses from The Sak.
Tuesday August 19 2014
Loved the bag but the pins that hold the handle strap on fell out. Unfortunately, I don't know when it happened so was unable to retrieve the pins and now I have a broken bag.

Slightly smaller than I though it would be. But it looks well made and looks good with pants and skirts. Looks well constructed.


text: Only very few games will run with oss drivers + wine (but not with your card). More run with a binary driver, most using nvidia binary. But compared to win most games which rely on direct 3d run very slow (opengl games run well). I would use dual boot if you are a gamer. btw. your card is so new that you can not use 3d with oss at all with your card, when you get some 3d effects it runs in software mode.

The rumors are true, the SB95C is here, and has been spotted in caves and dense forests along the equator. It's the bike you've been waiting for! Switch suspension technology, fast rolling 29" wheels, lightweight carbon frame, and of course Yeti's proven fit and feel. The alloy SB95 was such a hit with cyclists, that the next logical move was carbon! Yeti states "The SB95C isn't just the most advanced 29er we've ever made, or the most advanced carbon frame we've ever designed, it might be simply the best bike we've built to date." The main frame and swing arm are comprised of high modulus carbon fiber, which is light weight, absorbs chatter, yet is still rigid for highly efficient pedaling. The tapered head tube adds superior stiffness to the front end, perfect for singletrack handling. Internal cable routing on the rear triangle helps to keep debris from contaminating cables, and is aesthetically pleasing. Custom chain slap guards in the rear triangle help to keep the bike's beautiful paint job in tip- top condition. Not only is the SB-95c a beast on the trail, she's quite easy on the eyes!
The Yeti SB95C utilizes Switch suspension technology. Yeti did not just 'copy and paste' their Switch suspension technology from their 26" wheeled bikes to a 29" version; they adapted, reengineered and tested it over and over until it was perfectly suited for the bigger wheel. The basics still hold true - super efficient in all gear combinations without sacrificing traction and comfort. Switch suspension is an ingenious design that uses an oversized main pivot that actually contains a second pivot (lower pivot of the swing arm) which is offset within the main. This eccentric mechanism switches direction as the bike moves through its travel creating an optimized wheel path without unexpected spikes or wallows.
To gently guide you through the mountain, Yeti chose top- notch suspension pieces. Up front is the Fox 34, with 120mm of suspension. The Fox 34 features Kashima Coating for smooth suspension. Kashima coated uppers means less stiction. The 15mm axle further improves the stiffness of the front end, for the best possible handling. The Fox Float rear shock features CTD technology. Climb Trail Descend (CTD) allows you to quickly micro- tune your rear suspension while on the trail. The quick and easy adjustment allows you to change settings multiple times while out on a ride. A nice blend of SRAM components can be found throughout the SB95C Enduro. SRAM X7 shifters are paired to a SRAM X9 rear derailleur and SRAM X7 front derailleur. AVID Elixir 5 brakes quickly bring you to a halting stop. Mavic Crossride wheels keep you rolling. They're strong, lightweight, and rugged enough to stand up to the trail.

Comments about Yeti Cycles Yeti SB-95 Carbon Enduro Bike 2014:
Went from aSanta Cruz Blur LTC to this Yeti SB95C. Didn't want to go 27.5 because I really wanted to feel the difference considering the cost. Liked the Santa Cruz Tallboy LTC but decided on the Yeti. Added KS LEV Dropper, Mavic Corssmax SLR, Race Face Next Bars and a 42T Wolf tooth. Added orange sealant so now tubeless. Weighs little over 28 lbs-not winning the weight game but light enough to climb n bomb. Handles great for a niner-from switchbacks to rock gardens this thing is getting it done.

The B profile HY-T Plus Classical V-belt is 0.41" high, 0.66" wide, is built by Goodyear Engineered Products with Vytacord tension members, and is suitable in industrial applications where mechanical or environmental abuse is a factor. The belt is commonly used for drives with small diameter pulleys and short-center distances. It is static conductive, making it appropriate in the presence of explosive gases, liquids, powders, and other substances where the possibility of static sparks must be kept to a minimum.
The HY-T Plus Classical V-belt is built with Vytacord tension members, a synthetic reinforcement that increases overall tensile strength and lends dimensional stability so that drive performance is more consistent and predictable over the life of the belt. The belt is backed in oil-and abrasion-resistant fabric, providing longitudinal flexibility and lateral strength to the belt. The cushion of the HY-T Plus Classical V-belt is crush-resistant, reducing downtime and belt replacement cost over time.
Traditional classical belts are designed for operating at higher speeds over small diameter pulleys and short-center distances. They can be used in multiple V-belt drives and are used frequently in abusive environments such as farming and manufacturing. They are constructed to withstand the heat of the outdoors and oily, dirt-filled manufacturing environments.

- "Ordinary. Wizarding. Level. Examinations. More commonly known as O.W.L.'s. Study hard and you will be rewarded. Fail to do so and the consequences may be… severe."
- —Dolores Umbridge to a fifth-year's class[src]
An Ordinary Wizarding Level (often abbreviated O.W.L.) is a subject-specific test taken during Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry students' fifth year, administrated by the Wizarding Examinations Authority. The score made by a student on a particular O.W.L. determines whether or not he or she will be allowed to continue taking that subject in subsequent school years.
As well as referring to the test that students take in their fifth year, the term "O.W.L" also refers to the type of class, i.e. the level of difficulty of the class the student is taking. In addition, "achieving an O.W.L" is used to refer to a class in which the student has passed their O.W.L exam (example: Harry Potter received an O.W.L. in Transfiguration by attaining a passing grade on the O.W.L test for that class.)
Preparation for both O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s is very hard work. Students will generally begin preparing for their O.W.L.s in their fourth year, in order to take them at the end of their fifth. The pressure was enough to make certain students, such as Hannah Abbott, crack under the pressure, and it was necessary to give them a Calming Draught to lower their anxiety.
Most O.W.L.s are divided into written exams and practical exams. The O.W.L. is comparable to the Muggle "O level" exam given at the same stage of education (the "O" standing for Ordinary). In 1988, this examination was replaced by the G.C.S.E. in England and Wales and the Standard certificate in Scotland, but wizards are under no obligation to change their examinations when Muggles do. Strict measures, such as Anti-Cheating Quills and Anti-Cheating spells, are used to prevent academic dishonesty. Among the examiners were Griselda Marchbanks and Professor Tofty .
- Written: Levitation Charm, Cheering Charm, Counter-charm for hiccoughs.
- Practical: Take an egg cup and make it do some cartwheels, Levitation Spell, Colour Change, and Growth Charms.
- Written: Switching Spell
- Practical: Vanishing spell
- Practical: Fanged Geranium
Defence Against the Dark Arts
- Practical: Counter-jinxes and Defensive Spells, Boggart-Banishing Spell, Patronus Charm (for bonus points).
Ancient Runes
- Written: Translation of Ancient Runes like "ehwaz".
- Written: Polyjuice Potion
Care of Magical Creatures
- Practical: Identify a knarl hidden among a dozen hedgehogs; Demonstrate correct handling of a bowtruckle; Feed and clean out a fire crab without sustaining serious burns; Choose from a wide selection of food the diet they would give a sick unicorn.
- Written: Identify all of Jupiter's moons.
- Practical: Look at the telescope and fill in the blank star‐chart with the precise positions of the stars and planets they were observing.

O.W.L. exams are administered over a period of two successive weeks at the end of fifth year. Those exams that are divided into two parts: students will sit the theory portion in the morning and the practical portion in the afternoon, with the exception of the Astronomy practical exam, which occurs at night.
First week
- Monday – Charms
- Tuesday – Transfiguration
- Wednesday – Herbology
- Thursday – Defence Against the Dark Arts
- Friday – Study of Ancient Runes
Second week
- Monday – Potions
- Tuesday – Care of Magical Creatures
- Wednesday – Astronomy, Divination or Arithmancy
- Thursday – History of Magic
- Friday - Muggle Studies
- Muggle Studies – not specified
O.W.L. scores
If a student fails an O.W.L. and still wishes to retake it, they are presumably held back in that class. This was the case for Marcus Flint; Professor Severus Snape also remarked in 1996 that Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle need to pass their Defence Against the Dark Arts O.W.L.
Passing grades
- O (Outstanding)
- E (Exceeds Expectations)
- A (Acceptable)
Failing grades
Confirmed O.W.L.s received by subject
All of the O.W.L.'s listed above (except for Neville's Transfiguration O.W.L., and possibly Harry's and Ron's Astronomy O.W.L.s) qualified for an advancement to N.E.W.T.-level classes.
Behind the scenes
- O.W.L.s are comparable to the GCSE exams taken by students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and Standard Grade exams in Scotland, as well as the formerly used Ordinary Levels that these exams appear to be named after, being taken around the same age and studied for two years before examination. A Scottish student would typically only sit 8 standard grades, while English, Welsh and Northern Irish students typically sit 10.
- In their Charms exam, students are called in order by last name, alphabetically. However, Harry Potter and Hannah Abbott are called at the same time for their Transfiguration exam.
- The only known characters to receive all twelve O.W.L.s are Percy Weasley, Bill Weasley, and Barty Crouch Jr. However, in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, it is revealed that attempting this would cause a timetable clash; Minerva McGonagall had to write several letters to the Ministry in order to obtain a Time-Turner for Hermione Granger so that she would be able to attend all her classes when she attempted to take all twelve subjects in her third year (although she ultimately dropped two when she was not able to cope with so many subjects). Therefore, Percy, Bill, and Crouch Jr would have had to have done something similar to be able to study all twelve subjects too. However, it should be noted that Barty Crouch Jr. obtaining twelve O.W.L.s was mentioned by his father during a bout of insane rambling due to the damage to his mind from fighting the Imperius Curse and could have been a delusional mistake on the part of Barty Crouch Sr., although given the Crouch's strong links to the Ministry the idea of Barty Crouch Jr. acquiring a Time Turner is more plausible.
- Harry Potter and his year all begin studying for their O.W.L.S as early as the beginning of fourth year. It is unknown whether this is the case with other years at Hogwarts or if it was a precaution so students didn't forget their work whilst the Triwizard Tournament was being held.
- In third year in Danish it is known as A.L.N. (Almindeligt Troldmands Niveau) which is a directly translation of Ordinary Wizarding Level, but not directly translation of OWL. In fifth year in Danish, however it is known as U.G.L. (Udmærkelse for Genialitet og Lærevillighed) which needs an E to be a correct translation of O.W.L., this is not a direct translation of Ordinary Wizarding Level.
- In early editions of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Hermione Granger is said to receive eleven O.W.L.s, scoring ten O's and one E. However, after the events of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Hermione shrunk her class load from twelve subjects to ten, dropping both Divination and Muggle Studies. This was corrected in the Scholastic edition, where Ron instead states the she received nine O's and one E, giving her a total of ten O.W.L.s.
- It is interesting to note that the passing grades of O.W.L. exams are vowels (A, E, and O), while the failing grades are consonants (P, D, and T).

A couple of questions on this if you dont mind
Ok, correct me if I'm wrong here. H.264 VA-API support means hardware accelerated flash video right?Some of the Direct Rendering Manager improvements that are likely to be integrated into the Linux 2.6.35 kernel include H.264 VA-API support for Intel Clarkdale/Arrandale ASICs
Is this something that is unlikely to ever be developed for the proprietary nvidia driver because both nvidia and adobe seem uninterested in working on this?
Nouveau KMS means the Nouveau 2D driver right? So, Ubuntu 10.04 never shipped Nouveau 3D by default at all?for Ubuntu 10.10 they are not looking at providing Nouveau 3D support by default. [..] It was just with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS that they even enabled the Nouveau KMS driver by default for NVIDIA hardware.

Friday morning federal headlines - Nov. 30, 2012
Friday - 11/30/2012, 9:09am EST
The Morning Federal Newscast is a daily compilation of the stories you hear Federal Drive hosts Tom Temin and Emily Kopp discuss throughout the show each day. The Newscast is designed to give FederalNewsRadio.com users more information about the stories you hear on the air.
- The Senate said the government cannot hold Americans suspected of terrorism indefinitely. Liberal Democrats and libertarian Republicans came together to approve the amendment to the defense bill. It would apply only to citizens or legal residents seized on U.S. soil. In passing the measure, lawmakers revived a controversy that has plagued the government since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But the House rejected a similar effort in May. The White House has threatened to veto the Senate bill. (Federal News Radio)
- The Senate told the Department of Homeland Security it better get its books in order. The chamber passed a measure to require DHS to get a clean audit by next year. Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.) has sponsored a bill saying the audit would set a roadmap for a more frugal department that's less likely to fall victim to waste and fraud. DHS said it is audit ready and has tried to pass a full audit. But Carper said it has yet to do so. The bill also requires DHS to come up with a plan to modernize its financial systems. A companion bill in the House remains stuck at the committee level. (Federal News Radio)
- The Senate has passed a measure directing the Veterans Affairs Department to get help in tackling its backlog of disability claims. It would require VA to reach out to state and local agencies and provide funding where possible. Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) says his state has launched strike-force teams to help veterans fill out applications the right way. VA has a backlog of more than 600,000 claims. Incomplete paperwork is just one reason why VA is so slow. The measure is an amendment to the 2013 defense bill. (Federal News Radio)
- After a long and sometimes messy courtship, the Transportation Security Administration and its labor union are finally tying the knot. TSA and the American Federation of Government Employees sign off today on their first collective bargaining agreement. The union said the contract will improve working conditions for 45,000 security officers. It covers performance evaluations, annual leave and working hours and uniform allowances. Members approved the contract by a nearly ten-to-one margin earlier this month. It goes into effect Dec. 9. (AFGE)
- The National Archives is moving to cloud email. It has contracted with Unisys in a $7.2 million five-year deal. The tech company will oversee 4,500 of the Archives employees in their move to Google Apps for email and other tools. Unisys has overseen similar transitions for employees at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, GSA and the Energy Department's Idaho National Lab. (Federal News Radio)

History & Tradition
Rhode Island College, the first of the three public institutions of higher education in Rhode Island, was founded in 1854 as the Rhode Island Normal School on Benefit Street in Providence. The college's goal was to provide teacher preparation to qualified high school graduates in Rhode Island. In 1898 a new building adjacent to the State House was dedicated and in 1920 the name was changed to the Rhode Island College of Education. During the 1958-59 academic year, the college moved to its current location, a 180-acre park-like campus in the Mount Pleasant section of Providence. In 1959 the college was renamed Rhode Island College to reflect its mission as a comprehensive institution of higher learning.
The first alumni association was formed in 1887. Today we are proud to serve as a resource to the more than 50,000 alumni who continue to support the college and contribute to the Rhode Island and the region in multiple ways.

The earthquake hit at 4:53 PM some 15 miles (25 km) southwest of the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince. The initial shock registered a magnitude of 7.0 and was soon followed by two aftershocks of magnitudes 5.9 and 5.5. More aftershocks occurred in the following days, including another one of magnitude 5.9 that struck on January 20 at Petit Goâve, a town some 35 miles (55 km) west of Port-au-Prince. Haiti had not been hit by an earthquake of such enormity since the 18th century, the closest in force being a 1984 shock of magnitude 6.9. A magnitude-8.0 earthquake had struck the Dominican Republic in 1946.
Geologists initially blamed the earthquake on the movement of the Caribbean tectonic plate eastward along the Enriquillo–Plantain Garden (EPG) strike-slip fault system. However, when no surface deformation was observed, the rupturing of the main strand of the fault system was ruled out as a cause. The EPG fault system makes up a transform boundary that separates the Gonâve microplate—the fragment of the North American Plate upon which Haiti is situated—from the Caribbean Plate.
The earthquake was generated by contractional deformation along the Léogâne fault, a small hidden, thrust fault discovered underneath the city of Léogâne. The Léogâne fault, which cannot be observed at the surface, descends northward at an oblique angle away from the EPG fault system, and many geologists contend that the earthquake resulted from the slippage of rock upward across its plane of fracture.
Occurring at a depth of 8.1 miles (13 km), the temblor was fairly shallow, which increased the degree of shaking at the Earth's surface. The shocks were felt throughout Haiti and the Dominican Republic as well as in parts of nearby Cuba, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. The densely populated region around Port-au-Prince, located on the Gulf of Gonâve, was among those most heavily affected. Farther south the city of Jacmel also sustained significant damage, and to the west the city of Léogâne, even closer to the epicentre than Port-au-Prince, was essentially leveled.
The collapsed buildings defining the landscape of the disaster area came as a consequence of Haiti's lack of building codes. Without adequate reinforcement, the buildings disintegrated under the force of the quake, killing or trapping their occupants. In Port-au-Prince the cathedral and the National Palace were both heavily damaged, as were the United Nations headquarters, national penitentiary, and parliament building. The city, already beset by a strained and inadequate infrastructure and still recovering from the two tropical storms and two hurricanes of August–September 2008, was ill-equipped to deal with such a disaster. Other affected areas of the country—faced with comparable weaknesses—were similarly unprepared.
In the aftermath of the quake, efforts by citizens and international aid organizations to provide medical assistance, food, and water to survivors were hampered by the failure of the electric power system (which already was unreliable), loss of communication lines, and roads blocked with debris. A week after the event, little aid had reached beyond Port-au-Prince; after another week, supplies were being distributed only sporadically to other urban areas. Operations to rescue those trapped under the wreckage—which had freed over 100 people—had mostly ceased two weeks into the crisis, as hope that anyone could have survived for that length of time without food or water began to fade. However, there were still occasional recoveries of people who had managed to survive such confinement for weeks by rationing the meagre supplies available to them.
It was estimated that some three million people were affected by the quake—nearly one-third of the country's total population. Of these, over one million were left homeless in the immediate aftermath. In the devastated urban areas, the displaced were forced to squat in ersatz cities composed of found materials and donated tents. Looting—restrained in the early days following the quake—became more prevalent in the absence of sufficient supplies and was exacerbated in the capital by the escape of several thousand prisoners from the damaged penitentiary. In the second week of the aftermath, many urbanites began streaming into outlying areas, either of their own volition or as a result of governmental relocation programs engineered to alleviate crowded and unsanitary conditions.
Because many hospitals had been rendered unusable, survivors were forced to wait days for treatment and, with morgues quickly reaching capacity, corpses were stacked in the streets. The onset of decay forced the interment of many bodies in mass graves, and recovery of those buried under the rubble was impeded by a shortage of heavy-lifting equipment, making death tolls difficult to determine. Figures released by Haitian government officials at the end of March placed the death toll at 222,570 people, though there was significant disagreement over the exact figure, and some estimated that nearly a hundred thousand more had perished. Given the difficulty of observing documentation procedures in the rush to dispose of the dead, it was considered unlikely that a definitive total would ever be established.
Further deaths occurred as serious injuries went untreated in the absence of medical staff and supplies. The orphans created by these mass mortalities—as well as those whose parents had died prior to the quake—were left vulnerable to abuse and human trafficking. Though adoptions of Haitian children by foreign nationals—particularly in the United States—were expedited, the process was slowed by the efforts of Haitian and foreign authorities to ensure that the children did not have living relatives, as orphanages had often temporarily accommodated the children of the destitute.
Because the infrastructure of the country's computer network was largely unaffected, electronic media emerged as a useful mode for connecting those separated by the quake and for coordinating relief efforts. Survivors who were able to access the Internet—and friends and relatives abroad—took to social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook in search of information on those missing in the wake of the catastrophe. Feeds from these sites also assisted aid organizations in constructing maps of the areas affected and in determining where to channel resources. The many Haitians lacking Internet access were able to contribute updates via text messaging on mobile phones.
The general disorder created by the earthquake—combined with the destruction of the country's electoral headquarters and the death of UN officials working in concert with the Haitian electoral council—prompted Haitian Pres. René Préval to defer legislative elections that had been scheduled for the end of February. Préval's term in office was set to end the following year.
As the spring rainy season and summer hurricane season approached with reconstruction efforts having made little progress, residents of tent settlements were encouraged by aid agencies to construct more-substantial dwellings using tarpaulins and, later, donated lumber and sheet metal. Though some provisional housing was erected before the onset of inclement weather, many persons remained in tents and other shelters that provided scant protection from the elements. Compounding the problems in the increasingly disorganized encampments within Port-au-Prince was the return of many people who, months before, had initially retreated to the countryside only to find little opportunity for employment.
In October cases of cholera began to surface around the Artibonite River. The river—the longest on the island and a major source of drinking water to residents—had there—had been contaminated with fecal matter carrying the bacteria. By early November the disease had a South Asian strain of cholera bacteria. Suspicion that Nepalese UN peacekeeping forces stationed near the river were the likely source of the outbreak was validated by the leak of a report by a French epidemiologist in December. The report cited the absence of cholera in Haiti during the previous decade and the emergence of a parallel outbreak of cholera in Kathmandu, the city from which the troops had departed Nepal. The epidemic, which reached the tent cities of Port-au-Prince . Thousands were sickened and in November, sickened thousands and proved fatal to more than 12,000 diedpeople.
Humanitarian aid was promised by numerous organizations—spearheaded by the United Nations and the International Red Cross—and many countries in the region and around the world sent doctors, relief workers, and supplies. Former U.S. president Bill Clinton, who had in May 2009 been named the UN special envoy to Haiti, was assigned the task of coordinating the efforts of the disparate aid initiatives. In the months following the disaster, Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive expressed concern that foreign nongovernmental organizations (NGOs)—which were numerous in Haiti even prior to the quake and which bore responsibility for diverse aspects of the recovery—were not sufficiently accounting for the use of their resources, making it challenging for the Haitian government to assess where its own resources could best be deployed. The NGOs, in turn, were hindered by their own unwieldy bureaucratic structures and found interorganizational communication difficult. The U.S. military—though providing considerable initial support in the form of equipment, logistics coordination, and personnel—had withdrawn all but a fraction of its forces by the second week of March, leaving UN peacekeepers and Haitian police to maintain order.
Using a model that had proved successful in Europe after the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, programs were initiated abroad whereby mobile phone users could make donations via text messages. A sizeable portion of the aid gathered in the United States was channeled through mobile phone companies. A celebrity telethon hosted by Haitian American rapper Wyclef Jean in New York City and American actor George Clooney in Los Angeles and featuring numerous other entertainers was broadcast internationally and generated over $60 million.
A significant portion of Haiti's debt had been cancelled the previous year as part of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries initiative of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank, but the country still owed more than $1 billion to a range of creditors. With its economy barely functioning, the country appeared unlikely to meet those obligations. In February the G7 countries forgave the remaining portion of Haiti's debt to them, and in March the Inter-American Development Bank forgave $447 million and pledged over $30 million in further support. The World Bank forgave the country's $36 million balance in May.
A UN donor conference in New York City in late March generated pledges of $9.9 billion, with $5.3 billion to be used during the first two years of reconstruction efforts. The bulk of the sum was put forth by the United States and the European Union (EU). The donor conference also established the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission, a partnership between the Haitian government and foreign donors that, under the chairmanship of Clinton and Préval, oversaw the disbursal of aid funds to a variety of reconstruction efforts. The commission was approved by the Haitian parliament in April.

Posts: 4757 hi Prof, welcome.
Sorry, I had not personally encountered this at all. But I see Urban Dictionary gives two janus meanings:
1. scosche 102 up, 14 down
A small amount, a tiny bit
Move a scosche
A scosche of food
A scosche of work left
2. scosche 7 up, 102 down
a large amout of bull crap
that was quite a scosche of beer
would you like a breakfast scosche?
I'd like a scosche of doughnuts
fwiw, the crowdsource response gives your usage the popular nod. Can you give a context of how you have heard it?

Loc: this too shall pass I was surprised to find so little dictionary help for this, to me, a common enough word; then it dawned on me that the usual spelling it skosh: you'll see why from the etymology..
Etymology: < Japanese sukoshi a little, somewhat.
U.S. slang [prob. from the Korean War era - mf]
A little, a small amount; freq. used advb. in the expression a skosh, slightly, somewhat.
[1955 Amer. Speech 30 44 Along with.. everyday greetings, Bamboo English employs sukoshi few, some and its antonym takusan plenty, both of which are forthwith made into two-syllable words, dispensing with the voiceless Japanese u.]
1959 (recorded by Prof. A. L. Hench, Univ. of Virginia) 10 May, Just a skosh, he said. When I asked him what he meant he said he had picked the word up in Korea. It means a little bit. Just a little bit left was his meaning.
1977 Detroit Free Press 19 Dec. 4- c/1 In the ad, a slightly out-of-breath jogger laments middle-age body bulge and tells how glad he is that a new line of Levis for men is constructed with a skosh more room where I need it.
1988 Cycle World Sept. 37/1 The GSX-R's seat is more comfortable than the Yamaha's thinly padded perch, and its bars are a skosh higher.

it's good to go".
Not an unfamiliar term to me._________________________

Posts: 4757 Good catch, wise one! So we have an example of folk etymology taking place before our eyes, it would seem: alteration of an unfamiliar sk~ combination to align more closely with familiar words like scorch, scotch, scamp, and so on.

Posts: 37 The Japanese word sounds a lot like /skoʃ/ to English ears due to the vowel devoicing. So it's not surprising it would be spelled skosh or scosche.

It would be soo awesome if this were for the MBX as well... as the SGX parts we'll see :-)
Sure would be nice to have a real open source driver on the n800 as well as the pandora and many other devices that use Imanination Technologies' IP.
Phoronix: There Might Be An Open PowerVR Driver In Q3'11
If the PR representative I just spoke with at CES actually knows what she's talking about when it comes to Linux, in the third quarter of this year there may be an open-source PowerVR driver for Linux...
It would be soo awesome if this were for the MBX as well... as the SGX parts we'll see :-)
Sure would be nice to have a real open source driver on the n800 as well as the pandora and many other devices that use Imanination Technologies' IP.
Thanks for bugging people about Linux!
Michael, could you please be more specific in your articles about which PowerVR you're talking about? Talking about PowerVRs without being more specific is no better than doing the same for Radeons. My Sega Dreamcast has a PowerVR graphics card, and I am almost positive that you are not referring to that particular model.
Well probably not that particular model but ... It would be nice if they would. The n800 developers and users have made it quite clear they want a working driver which is next to impossible with the binary driver.
Even if a driver release didn't document older hardware it would probably give some insite into thier workings as older ideas were probably carried forward in newer designs.
Its not like micheal is doing the code release anyway LOL.
2.6.40. Maybe its about time the kernel went to 2.7
Well, I believe this when I see it. I talked with a lot of people on exhibitions, developers as well as marketing clowns (sorry but they are clowns) and they had high soaring plans for everything but in the end there was nothing.
We'll see. If it happens fine, if not then I am at least not disappointed.
They are aware that their clients aren't happy with the closed-source situation (especially big players such as found at Linaro), and are afraid of loosing them. So they promise something for 2012 (that's what a marketing droid means by "third quarter of 2011").
Rest assured that they won't do it unless really pressured by big clients (end-users don't count), like Broadcom has been.
I don't understand the current relation betwwen PowerVR and Linux. I mean back at 2.4 kernel series they had a future rich and good Linux driver for their Kyro and KyroII chipsets. I had such a card myself and know first hand. So I mean if they had the motivation and especially the knowledge for such a driver, why now is worse even than VIA?

When I packed for my long weekend in Phoenix last week, I happened to stick Jennifer Egan's "A Visit from the Goon Squad" into my suitcase. I was pretty sure I wouldn't get to it, but you never know when a chaise lounge on a sunny patio will beckon.
Actually, I read it largely in bed and on the plane, but...loved it. And felt fairly virtuous reading it, since it allows me to check yet another Notable Book off of the list for this year.
"A Visit from the Goon Squad" is written as a series of short stories with inter-related characters. Someone who is a minor character in one chapter (story) becomes the focus of another. Eventually, several characters show up in more than one place, and many voices speak. The setting generally is the music scene, often in New York, from the 1980's to the 2020's (the final story is set in the musical future).
The first story is about Sasha, who is an assistant to a music producer. She's talking with her therapist about her kleptomania, and about how she supposedly feels about it. My experience reading novels with multiple perspectives is that the first character sticks with me longer, and I tend to always seek that first character in the rest of the novel. Sasha does re-appear.
A primary theme of this book is "How did I get to be so old?" Another, "I know I'm not an especially good person." Another, "Is THIS the life I want to live?" Those could create a sad novel, but I didn't feel that happening here. Nor did I get the feeling of being worn out by clever stories of people who fail. I wanted to keep reading.
What makes it Notable? Egan's ability to craft the connections throughout the book, and her sense of how people view their own and others' shortcomings.
I'll recommend this to people who love the music scene, who are willing to stick with the short-stories-as-novel format, and to those who connect with the sense of time passing. I'd like to have a conversation with others who've read it, too.

To setup your backup profiles, you need click on DASHBOARD, then Backup and restore and click on the Manage Backup button, which will take you to the profiles overview page. There are 2 ways in which you can manage your backed up data. If you already have a profile created, just select it and press "Edit selected".
Otherwise, please follow the steps below to create a new email backup profile.
Once you click on the Add new button, you will be shown a welcome screen. Click Next to go to the next step.
Don't show this introduction next time: makes sure you will not see this screen the next time you start the guide.
When starting the Backup Guide, select the appropriate e-mail client option and click Next to proceed.
Select the desired e-mail client. BullGuard Backup has built-in support for Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express (Windows XP only), Windows Mail (Windows Vista only) and Mozilla Thunderbird.
If several users have access to the e-mail client on the same Windows Account, you may need to select your own e-mail identity to backup.
Please choose the e-mail folders you would like BullGuard to back up from your computer.
In the next step, you will need to choose the location where you want to backup the files. The backup can be stored on the Online Drive, on a CD/DVD or on the local computer (usually using an external hard disk).
All Backup profiles can be scheduled to either start at a convenient time avoiding computer slowdowns, or to backup important documents on a regular basis preventing information loss.
Never, I'll start it myself: You will need to run this profile manually to backup the information.
While my computer is idle: The profile will only run in the background when the computer is not being used. If any action is performed on the computer, the backup process will pause.
I want to select a schedule: You can set the profile to run automatically at set time intervals. This will ensure that any information included in the profile will be backed up on a regular basis.
The Advanced Backup settings allow you to further customize your profile by adding special features such as encryption, versioning and backup compression. When done, click Finish.
The profile will now appear in the profile list accessible form the main Backup section. That is also where you can edit, rename, run or delete it.
