OK agent, I'm this close to $#@! you. The entire page of comments is irrelevant and wrong because are based to you comment that is also wrong. The reference implementation of OpenGL drivers IS OPEN. Anybody is welcome to look at the reference code (there is not actual code, just some precode = how it works + standards for binary compatibility), without the need to Open or Close anything. Its Nvidias fault and AMDs also: With HD5000 AMD it self said that they will try with HD8000 to have only Open drivers. Fuck both. If only i wasn't gamer!
ricer gamers? ricer machines? Yes, we know PC gaming is big in Korea and Japan, but is the racism really needed?

What we said was that with HD8000 we would try to have open source driver support at launch time. Nothing about eliminating Catalyst support.

Let that joker rant all he wants.
Apparently he's so stuck in his little fantasy world of 'just enough' that he doesn not even know what the REAL gamers and enthusiasts over in Windows land are doing.
Y'know, the real fun things like water cooling, vBIOS moding/flashing, GPU core overclocking, CPU overclocking, memory clock modifications, etc etc just so that they can squeeze out an additional 10fps to run their games on Ultra settings, 16x MSAA, AA features, PhyX enabled, with advanced DX 11 enhancements such as tesselation and so on on a 5-monitor setup for the sheer experience that the game is capable of offering.
Things that Linux will never ever get to see, period, because everybody there is only interested in playing their games at 1024 x 768 with a shoddy driver delivering only 50fps at Low settings with every enhancement turned off.
Nouveau surpassing Nvidia's blob in performance? Sure...in another 20 years perhaps.

Fake and fake.
That's your own problem for reading too deep into a simple comment.
He only said that they hope to have launch day support with the open radeon driver when HD8xxx is released. NOTHING about replacing Catalyst anywhere. The idea that the radeon driver can replace Catalust is just what YOU wanted it to be and was never ever mentioned anywhere by Bridgman.

Gladstone to PSU
I've been going via Oatfield road to McLoughlin through Milwaukie, to 17th to Tacoma, across the Sellwood bridge (eek!) to Macadam, to Boundary, up Corbett, down Barbur. Is there a better way to do this? Some people have recommended the Springwater from Sellwood, but I'm leery of that route early in the morning (I am a single female). Ideas?
And...once you get to PSU, where's the best place to park your bike? |
the springwater trail is under construction, so you won't be able to get past johnson creek blvd (i think)...but when it's done (i think november) it is definitely quick. if you are worried, bring mace or a knife. i always keep a knife in my bag...people are insane.
and i use the hawthorne bridge, too. even though powell is shorter from where i am, all i have to do is bike back up a few blocks once i'm over, and i think it's worth the extra 5 minutes to not have to worry about death during the bridge ride. |
That route along the Springwater corridor is creepier than it needs to be early in the morning in the dark. Your fear is totally understandable.
I would say, however, that riding across the Sellwood Bridge in the dark is fraught with considerable more peril. "Accidents" due to driver negligence or bad luck (new pothole, wet and slick bridge joints, crazy pedestrian who walks right into you) would be much more calamitous there. You could try a few options for the Springwater section between Sellwood and the Hawthorne: 1: Fight back: zip ties and a mace holster under your top tube. 2: Safety in numbers: loiter slowly around the beginning of the trail there by Oaks Bottom until you see another rider roll through, and sit on their wheel (ride with them). Most people will appreciate the extra light. 3: Disguise: fake mustache My wife has similar issues riding by herself. She doesn't like it. Worries she'll get a flat or other mechanical. Feels anxious and unsafe. Worries she'll get harassed or, God forbid, worse. So it sounds not uncommon. Maybe other women could chime in about it? Especially those who ride often and have dealt with it? Hey PoPo: anything you can add from the police perspective? Do they give you guys training in defensive riding or ways to avoid, I dunno, being dragged off your bike? Lots of luck. Me saying the following doesn't make it so either in your mind or reality, but you'll likely be quite safe riding that stretch. That said, I'll do a quick check of crime stats and see if I'm full of it. (Crime mapper stats here) Last edited by thomschoenborn; 09-26-2006 at 09:19 AM. Reason: Added CrimeMapper stats link. |
Oh, and here's a good source to look for bike parking -- since school started, there's probably not a lot of availability for bike lockers, but there's loads of racks.
Thanks, guys. I'm going to get some mace tomorrow. I had a harrowing commute this morning - a near miss in Sellwood, followed by the usual thrill ride that is the Sellwood bridge. :-0
The possible spookiness of the Springwater trail looks pretty inviting at this point (hypothetical attackers vs. the feeling my days are numbered if I continue to play on the bridge), and I rode across the Hawthorne bridge for the first time this afternoon and could not believe how peaceful it felt. I also had no problem parking my bike at school - PSU has incredible numbers of bike racks. |
Riding the Springwater trail is far, far better than riding across the Sellwood Bridge. Just cross at the Hawthorn Bridge and then ride up Broadway to PSU. You'll have plenty of company along the way.
I don't think the Springwater is anywhere as bad as it's being made out to be. I've been commuting on it almost every work day since it's been open (and commuted across the Sellwood Bridge for years before that) and have never seen (nor heard of) any problems. While there are homeless folks along the trail, there are far more commuters and runners out there. The most dangerous part of the commute is when you get around all of those crazy cars! |
I was wondering about that - I see SO many people out there on weekends when I'm running it (I am a runner before I am a cyclist, I'm afraid), and I was wondering if there are still quite a few on it early in the morning. I pretty much don't have to be out until 8 am - my first class is at 10 - are there quite a few commuters on it by then? I am a bit spooked by an instance a friend told me about, when he was riding to work on it a couple of years ago and actually came across a woman who said she'd been assaulted by some teenagers there. Again though...weighing potential attacks against the likelihood of accidents on sellwood bridge...I think I'll take those potential attacks.

Item # CST2468
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Long Sleeve Road Bike Jerseys in stock than that.
Castelli Fausto Wool Long Sleeve Jersey $0.00

What do you think of the
Castelli Fausto Wool Long Sleeve Jersey
? Share a...
Wool at is best !
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got this jersey a few most ago to start built my cycling closet. Couldn't be happier. The fitting is great, I'm about 5'8" and 150 lb and a large fits great. The jersey is great for long spring, fall rides, just using and windproof base layer.
Castelli Wool came out Clean
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs small
While the jersey I have is not the exact same jersey that is pictured here, what I can tell you is that their Wool Jerseys can take a beating and come out SPOTLESS.
What you see here is a picture of one of my Castelli Long Sleeve wool jerseys that took the brunt of a crash into a ravine on my left shoulder. I was bummed, not because I was hurt, but because I feared my jersey was going to be permanently ruined from the mud and grass stains.
To my surprise, the Castelli Wool Jersey held up, no tears in the fabric , and more importantly the stains came completely out.
I guess this could be a review for the laundry detergent, but I want to give all of the credit to my Castelli Jersey, it took a beating and came out Clean!
Castelli Wool Jersey
Disclaimer about the above picture: ^^^^^
1) The Castelli Jersey I'm wearing is not this exact same one
2) The Jersey I have on is the previous year version of this jersey
3) I bought it on Department of Goods which is now Backcountry.com...Love them both.
+ Castelli runs small...I normally wear a Medium with other brands. With Castelli I always choose a Large.
From the picture above you can see the sleeve length is just right for my 32/33 arm length.
Is this made from an itch-free Merino wool?...
Is this made from an itch-free Merino wool? Is it meant to be worn next to the skin? Can you layer it with another under garment for additional warmth if necessary? Does it have any wind stopping ability or would you need to wear a windbreaker over it? This jersey is quite expensive even on sale and I would want it to be an ideal garment for winter riding.
John Heineken
Good questions! Anyone?
I have two wool long sleeve jerseys from Castelli and they don't itch at all. I can't speak for the Merino wool, but it's extremely comfortable and I use it on my mountain bike rides as well.

The meat cleaver analogy doesn't really apply. A meat cleaver operates on existing carcasses. By and large, the sequestration "cuts" not the amounts actually being spent, but the additional amounts the government had planned on spending.

The meat cleaver analogy doesn't really apply. A meat cleaver operates on existing carcasses. By and large, the sequestration "cuts" not the amounts actually being spent, but the additional amounts the government had planned on spending.
Cutting the US budget is always a disputable issue. We should hold a forum in which contributors are limited to offering up only government programs from which they are presently benefiting. There is a tendency for people always to offer up someone else's programs. People from Florida tend to support the space program but want to see the foreign relations budget cut. Farmers tend to support the farm subsidies but want to see the energy program cut. What do social security recipients have to say about the social security program? Rural people want post offices eliminated in the cities but want to keep their rural post offices. People in the South and the suburbs who have their kids in private schools want to eliminate school subsidies. If someone is so sure that programs are inefficient and poorly managed, let them make specific suggestions on how to change the program. If they identify lazy inefficient workers at an office, let them provide names and places that need to change. I believe inefficiencies and laziness exist on a very small scale, but complainers about government inefficiencies rarely or never can provide specifics-enough information about their complaint that it can be researched or fixed. We hear about tea party groups complaining about their treatment by the IRS, but the parties identify neither themselves nor their actual submissions so the investigators can decide whether the actions by the IRS were justified or unjustified. Instead of complaining through the IRS, they complained through their political representatives who treated the issue as a political one. The tea party groups should have made their complaints known to the supervisors of the IRS workers. They may have done that, but I haven't heard of it having been done.
What? Obama LIED? No WAY!
This article is a further step away from economic fundamentals for 'The Economist': Perhaps this publication should be renamed 'The Opinionist'?
US federal debt stands at around $16,000 billion [B]
The debt of the US states stands at an additional $4,000 B
Federal interest payments on debt stands at $200 B per annum rising to $550 in 2017.
The sequester was for a measly £85 B
The US is bankrupt and is only able to continue its spending because it can combine green ink and blank paper to created the 'emperor's clothing' equivalent of real $ value. Two thirds of this debt is owned by US nationals, corporations and institutions (because the rest of the world realise the US can never repay this debt).
The US needs an $85 B sequester once very three days for a year to repay its debt. Consequently this focus on the consequences of a single sequester is meaningless and misses the big picture.
The author of this article should concern himself with what is going to happen when the inevitable collapse arrives. Setting aside the calamity this represents for the US population and its living standards; the consequences for the (so called) free-world are more serious.
As the US government has abdicated its duty to maintain a sustainable economy (with the Obama spending spree applauded by the Economist), the very future of democratic countries is being jeopardised.
The author states: 'reductions in American "military readiness" come as humanitarian good news'. What an inane statement! The collapse of the US will inevitably entice authoritarian countries to crush the democracies born of the military struggles of the last three hundred years.
How bizarre the world has become when 'The Economist' (once a respected bastion of high-brow free-press) cheer-leads the end of freedom of speech and its own ability to publish.
If one does not have something useful to say; it is generally better to keep ones mouth shut.
No to mention that the same folks ranting about sequester pain want to decimate the spending on the military but say nothing about any pain that will cause.
So you advocate running in circles and yelling the sky is falling? No, the great journey of living within means and preserving our democracy starts with small realistic steps..come what may.
"So you advocate running in circles and yelling the sky is falling?" Please do not put words in my mouth that I did not say, that is mendacious.
There is a simple solution: Americans need to elect a government that will balance their budget not increase their debt.
Until the left-wing media (including the Economist) start to explain the true consequences of this out of control US Federal spending to the beneficiaries of state hand outs, there will be no solution.
The Democrats in the US have a political strategy of handing out cash to get elected. They even lie about the hand outs: 2009 "We can increase health care to 30 million uninsured Americans and it will cost less" (vote for us and feel good about yourself) ... 2013 "We need to delay the implementation of our health plans (until after the next election)" (we lied in 2009).
Perhaps all hope is lost when the greatest pillar of democracy (a free and critical press) has become the cheerleader of one political party.
At least the Soviet press had the excuse that if they did not cheer-lead the politburo they would end up in a gulag. What excuse does the mainstream US press (or the Economist) have?
You are criticizing the Economist for disagreeing with President Obama in this article (he was against the sequester)but then criticize President Obama for "spending sprees" which apparently the Economist applauds. I don't know if this is an anti-American rant, an anti-Obama rant or general the sky is falling rant. Yes the United States of America has a debt problem. No it is not due to one party. The fact of the matter is that retirement benefits (mainly social security but also government employee) health care costs (mainly medicare but also medicaid, VA, gov employee) interest payments and the military make up over 75% of the federal budget. So although not everybody might like the tongue in cheek humor used by the Economist (the author was making fun of the fact that special interest contractors say that the US military needs 6th generation trillion dollar programs when other nations barely are developing / deploying 4th generation programs for much less in the name of "military readiness".), the fact of the matter is that in order to effectively reduce the budget without substantially raising taxes is to make cuts in big programs such as the military and social security. You could cut out all "welfare programs", not pay federal employees outside the military more than 1 dollar an hour and cut all grants to foreign aid, science, space programs, arts, housing, transportation, etc and we would still have a debt problem.
We are only seeing the tip of the iceberg for the effects of the sequester. Can we blame any of the SFO crash on the sequester (cutback in controllers, slowdown of repairs, etc.), the Snowden release of classified info (reduced oversight of contractors), western wildfires and loss of life among firefighters (cutbacks in support of firefighting), Alaska commuter plane crashes (cutbacks in air traffic control system and commuter air system oversight), etc. You can take any of the headlines for the past six months and attribute the fault partly to the sequester. The media merely are not doing so. But, as a former government manager, I can tell you that it is the long term planning and preparation which suffers in a cut of the kind represented by the sequester. The government manager can steal from the future to cover expenditures in the present. This is one reason why our infrastructure is in such sad shape. Maintenance can be pushed off into the future to make room for present day spending. Is this a real saving? I would suggest it is not. We can cut back on military training to save money, but will it have an impact on the capabilities of the forces when we need them in the future? We can cut back on purchases of weapons we calculate we will need in the future. If you agree we need that capability in the future, is this a savings? We can cut back on safety and environmental inspections, but will we have more accidents and environmental releases in the future? Did the West Texas explosion occur because the regulatory inspections were delayed by the sequester or made less effective by spreading the inspectors over a larger workload?
The impact of all of these cuts, real and fictional, were the result of bureaucrats deciding that these cuts were more acceptable than literally an infinite of other cuts in spending. Guest argues that any other reduction in spending would have caused more damage than the real and mythical effects he alludes to. Are we to take this seriously, guest? Or is this just a poor attempt at humor?
It would be a plausible alternative, if it included the entire budget. The areas which will cost in the future were untouched, while those which would generate growth in the future were cut. Your problem is that you don't understand the full cost of the cuts. 90% of the current US economy is the indirect result of government spending, and all of that is lumped into 'discretionary'.
Agreed. Social Security was specifically exempted, and it is one of the largest sinkholes of government funding in the entire budget. However, I will point out that Medicare and the Defense budget (the other two biggest sinkholes) ARE subject to sequestration. Nevertheless, I would agree that there are a slew of other entitlemet programs that were exempted that probably should be forced to undergo similar belt-tightening.
The meat cleaver approach is never a good one, but considering how dysfunctional the US Congress is there really isn't any other option. Defense spending got way out of hand under Bush's war on terror and needed to be brought back in line. The secretary of defense keeps reminding us of how these cuts will reduce military readiness...well guess what, we've been ready to invade enough countries...so much so that it has bankrupted us. China and Russia won't attack us anytime soon, and dealing with terrorists doesn't require a flotilla.
America's defense sector is nothing more that a jobs program for congressmen to bring home the bacon and get re-elected. This sequester is a step in the right direction, but should be followed by even more drastic cuts in the defense budget over the next decade. Even if we cut our military by two thirds it would still be more than enough to defend the nation.
My sentiments exactly. I'm not a budget wonk, but I'll bet it's been a long time since we've whopped this much planned spending at once. Almost regardless of the impact, I value the exercise of shrinking the Federal governement.
Honorable folks since before Eisenhower have been warning us of the military-industrial complex. It's a self-propagating machine that influences all aspects of American policy.
In my part of the country, we are not as dependent on Federal spending as some others. I'll leave it to others to opine on the damage done. From my perspective the impacts seem distant and at least partially desirable.
Someone once said: If the government had only 2 responsibilities
1. Keeping terminally ill children alive and
2. Digging holes
Which services would they cull first if cuts were needed?
Keeping terminally ill children alive of course, because then the people would say, why were you spending our money on digging holes.
The government has to go through this charade as a matter of course, then it can be seen as all vital and necessary. I'm not American, but seriously any basic search which tells you the size of Federal departments shows you the vast majority have no purpose:
Postal Service 800,000 privatise and sell, get off the books.
Department of Veterans Affairs 240,000 cut to 100,000
Department of the Treasury 162,119
cut to 50,000
Department of Agriculture 100,000
Department of the Interior 58,026
Department of Commerce 41,711
Department of housing and urban development 9,300
Equal opportunities commission 3,055
All sacked not needed in a free market economy
Social Security Administration 65,000 All sacked and people given money back in form of government bonds
Department of Health and Human Services
All sacked except a few to deal with epidemics that type of thing
Environmental Protection Agency 18,879
Sacked with exception of people who deal with externalities
Department of Education- Sacked send back to states- clearly failed centrally planned institution.
I'm really not even trying FBI, CIA, homeland security not even mentioned: who knows, maybe you could get back to the constitution at this rate :)
"Recovery hampered by sequester" If government deficit spending causes economic recovery then where is the recovery? We certainly have been doing the spending.
I already know what you will say, "It could have been worse", but nobody was predicting things would be this bad.
For the last 2 years the population has been growing by .7%, inflation has been at 1.7%, and the economy has grown at 1.8%. That means the economy has a Real Per-Capita Growth of -.6%. There is no recovery and we continue to accumulate debt which will hamper our future growth.
Funny, the chicken littles, main-stream media, are now peeking out of the caves they took refuge in when the sky was suppose to fall and saying, "who would have guessed? how could any of us known? no on knew! the sky didn't fall!"
Now they can now scurry around again drumming up panic over the next issue that is not playing out as their narrative would have it.
"To those of us who believe that America is prone to start wars just because it can, reductions in American "military readiness" come as humanitarian good news that may well offset the bad news about transfers to the needy. In any case, I don't know of another way to put such a dent in America's lavish spending on its war-making capacity, and I'm glad that it has happened."
Amen! Pentagon's budget needs to be cut dramatically. So also many of useless programs of NASA, such as the ISS which has cost billions and produced very little value.
(1) No Pentagon means we may as well all move to Russia, Iran, Zimbabwe or North Korea. The Pentagon is the only organisation on the planet that holds criminal dictatorships in check. It is not perfect but it is all we have.
(2) NASA is the research base from which the necessary future space based economy will evolve. No energy and resources from space and our species will go extinct within a couple of centuries.
There are probably no better ways to end humanity than cutting our ability to defend ourselves against criminals and at the same time stopping the research into developing the next frontier for free peoples.
This post is precisely what the leaders of criminal juntas would say.
How about unilateral US abandonment of nuclear deterrence? How about melting down all the aircraft carriers and air-force jets into ploughs?
Actually, the meat cleaver is still pretty dumb. I suppose you can argue that you replaced one dumb process with another. True, the executive and legislative branches have been able to prioritize spending in a few cases by giving agencies some flexibility (e.g., TSA). In plenty of others, like military readiness (which I don't assume is a bad thing by nature, unlike W.W.), there has been zero prioritization. Not to mention the prioritization that occurs under a meat cleaver is still motivated by very parochial interests, as can be seen by the legislative prohibition on closures of obsolete bases. This doesn't seem all that different from the regular appropriations and allocation process except that federal agencies just have fewer options in moving money around to meet emerging requirements.
The executive branch DID prioritize the cuts from the start. They highlighted cuts that would have the largest impact on the public. Congress prioritized cuts that would avoid impact on local economies. The "dumb" approach seeks to avoid prioritization by politicians.
It's one thing to highlight cuts to the media for political reasons; it's another to say that the cuts so highlighted were the only ones the executive branch made. There wasn't much prioritization until Congress provided legislative relief. Otherwise, the cuts were made across the board equally at the "programs, projects, and activities" level, whatever that means for each agency. But that's neither here nor there I suppose since both the "normal" process and sequestration involved funding decisions made by politicians for parochial reasons.
Whether the prioritization required legislative relief or not was disputed.
Keep in mind, SHOm. that this is the same president that decided unilaterally to completely ignore the laws he signed when he decided to hold up implementation of ObamaCare for a year.
The sequestration process was the brainchild of the administration, not Congress. Obama has to be held accountable for the political reasoning behind that law.
The sequester speaks in favor of reduced spending and smaller government.
Let the governments stay out of the way and let the free markets and the private sector function (at 2.5 times the efficiency). Texas is a great example, with no state taxes, a booming economy, and less than 4% unemployment.
"In some cases, agencies dug into their budgets and found millions they could spare."
Wow, shocker. I guess the GSA people decided to downgrade from caviar to jumbo shrimp. Must've required some pretty deep digging on everyone's part, given that the overall federal budget is already 50% larger than it was just six years ago.
This was never a big deal. It wasn't even a real budget cut. Obama is a deceitful, cynical lying gasbag, and I wish Americans and this newspaper would wake up to that fact instead of pretending that he's a reasonable human being. He's just another piece of garbage from the political toxic waste dump that is Chicago.
What kind of a comment is this, is everyone here a vitriol spewing idiot?
you describe yourself well, my regressive friend.
Having lived in DC, I personally saw a government-funded agency buy caviar as part of a going-away dinner for a temp! I was told that they needed to spend the rest of the budget or it would be reduced.
A dumb meat cleaver might be a good idea but the sequester isnt one. Bloated healthcare and unfair tax subsidies (eg mortgage interest tax relief) along with a bunch of other stuff was excluded and could have done with being targeted the most.
True enough, to an extent. However, this exercise is forcing the federal government to re-examine even these untouched issues now, because of the forced belt-tightening in other areas. When government agencies have to cut back on programs and reallocate funding from others in order to fund critical projects, those same agencies start agitating for additional funding or the cutting of government spending elsewhere, in order to alleviate their own burdens.
This has been a very good exercise in forced dieting. This is the government fisc version of "The Biggest Loser", and while painful to experience, it is somewhat fun to watch from the outside and is for the long-term benefit of the participants despite the short-term discomfort.
Hear Hear, pseudo science does not work after all?
To paraphrase Samuel Johonson, putting an executioner's axe above one's head concentrates one's mind incredibly well...
"cut second-tier priorities such as maintenance"
That is valid only as a VERY short-time expedient, since the effect of lack of maintenance is cumulative over time, and what one could get away without for the first quarter is NOT tolerable on the fourth, third, or even second quarter.
See my series of comments below. Claiming that sequestration is affecting maintenance is a pretty broad generalization that is creating some misimpressions among the public.
What is being cut back or deferred are SOME forms of routine maintenance. For example, instead of changing the oil in the fleets of government vehicles every three months, they are being changed every four or five instead. Instead of repainting offices every two or three years, the repainting is being postponed for an additional year. Instead of replacing computer equipment every two years, existing equipment is being retained. Window washing is being put off. Etc.
Other forms of critical maintenance are still being performed. For example, the federal Highway Trust Fund is exempt from sequestration for things like repair and maintenance. Other exempt spending programs include, but are not limited to, Social Security and Medicaid; refundable tax credits to individuals; and low-income programs such as the Children's Health Insurance Program, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, and Supplemental Security Income. Some discretionary programs also are exempt, notably all programs administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Also, subject to notification of Congress by the President, military personnel
accounts may either be exempt or reduced by a lower percentage.
Like I said, our scumbag pols love to hand out tax breaks and spending to special interests while putting the bill off to the younger generations they don't care about in a future they don't care about.
When the future arrives, they refuse to allocate the resulting pain so they can stay in office robbing us indefinitely. Unless they can pretend to do it by accident.
Which is how taxes got increased, and spending got cut. The only way it would have happened.
Does this make moral sense, economic sense, social justice sense, or even legal sense? No. Does it make political sense. Yes.
And the blackmail they have used for 35 years -- let us sell off even more of your children's future or we'll make it even worse for you now -- had to be called sooner or later.
Blackmailed by Wall Street, with their demands for deregulation and bailouts. Blackmailed by the public employee unions, with their pension increases, tax increases ands service cuts. Blackmailed by executives demanding lower pay and benefits. Blackmailed by the politicians. Enough!

Go Cyclones!
I thought we were slipping when I didn't see a game day thread first thing this morning. Good job for getting one started. Another opportunity to work out the bugs. Not the best time to be traveling, so the main thing is that they get there and back safely.
Why are we playing this team on the road?

7. UMKC will be coming to Hilton the next two years. 6. Because the Big 12 tournament has given this arena in particular the moniker "Hilton South". 5. Lots of ISU alums in KC 4. The travel record or ISU fans to KC for the Big 12 tournament. 3. An excuse for ISU fans from up north to get a warm-up at the P&L District before March. 2. The added bonus for those fans to see the Plaza Lights that are not on in March. 1. A good showing could go a long way with the CBE folks in inviting ISU to their pre-season tournament at the Sprint Center sometime in the future
Originally Posted by Royalclone 6. Because the Big 12 tournament has given this arena in particular the moniker "Hilton South". Not quite correct. The game is being played at Municipal Auditorium which is home of the Women's Big 12 tournament. "Hilton South" is the nickname that has been most commonly applied to the Sprint Center (and formerly Kemper Arena) where men's Big 12 BB games are played. Nice list.

Where is the best place to park for the game tonight and how much does it cost?
I'll be there tonight. Looking for a blow-out CYCLONE WIN! GO STATE!
Early, I know, but anyone expect a Firstrowsports link for this one?

Everyone should use this opportunity to get on their game before the conference season. Let's hope the 'Clones kick the crap out of the Kangaroos.

I'm happy this is on the road. Good for KC Cyclones, but more importantly, this team needs all the practice it can get away from Hilton Coliseum before conference season. Far from road dogs yet.
Municipal Auditorium, 301 West 13th Street, Kansas City, MO This is where the game is at. I've heard that some ISU Alumni is just parking ($2) at Johnny's Bar (they have a parking garage below) and just walking over to the old Municipal. Just a couple of blocks away. I'm actually downtown KC right now for work. I am close to The Quaff (Bar) on Broadway. I'm planning on hitting that before the game. It has an old Lumpy's - Cy's Roost feel for a bar.

There will be pre and post game events at Johnny's in P&L they will be having 1/2 apps for anyone with a ticket. It's about 3 or 4 blocks from Municipal and parking in the ramps there are $2.

Nice improvements but there is one problem SPECViewPerf 10 for benching unfortunately and that is that almost none of it's tests are relevant in linux anymore.
Pro/E and CATIA are no longer supported in linux in there newest versions and Solidworks, 3DSMax, and VisMockup never have made it to linux. I'd be more interested to see the performance improvements on linux applications such as Maya, etc.

Police Department History |
The concept of a Stony Point Police Department was started shortly prior to 1967, when a group of Stony Point citizens approached the Town Board and requested that a full-time Police Force be established. Until then the Town's police services were provided by Stony Point residents acting as Constables and the New York State Police from a barracks on 9W in Stony Point. On October 25, 1967, Stephen G Scurti, a New York State Trooper working out of the Stony Point Barracks for the past four years, resigned his appointment to the New York State Police to assume the position of Stony Point's 1st Chief of Police. Chief Scurti, the sole full-time Police Officer, worked out of one room located in the rear of the Town Hall on East Main Street. In 1968, the Police Department consisted of Chief Scurti and eleven (11) part-time Police Officers working from 8:00AM to 12 Midnight providing Patrol and emergency services. As the demand for services increased, the department grew. In 1971, the Police department moved to 112 West Main Street with eight full-time Police Officers and a smaller part-time complement as well as several Crossing Guards. June 1972: The Police Department went on a seven day, 24 hours-per-day, service schedule and by the end of 1972 the department had grown to 13 full-time Police Officers. As the demand for services increased the need for some specialization became apparent. The Stony Point Detective Bureau was formed in July 1973, and through the remainder of the 1970's the department continued to grow, providing quality law enforcement and emergency services to its residents. By 1979, the department consisted of 19 full-time Police Officers, a civilian clerk, Crossing Guards and several Auxiliary Police Officers. In 1980, the Police Department moved to its present location at 79 Rte 210. The facility was constructed on land donated by Eleanor Allison, in memory of Calvin T Allison. The building is a modern facility constructed to serve the changing needs of today's police services. In 1980 the Stony Point Police Athletic League (P.A.L.) was formed by the department and concerned citizens in an effort to provide activities and special services to the youth of our Community. In August 1981, the Stony Point Youth Bureau was established. The Youth Bureau was perceived as a means of providing important services to youth in trouble and a conduit for referrals for troubled youth and youth with special needs. In June 1984, the Stony Point K-9 was created. This specialized unit provided invaluable services to the Stony Point community as well as assisting other bordering authorities in many related emergencies. In May of 1990 the Stony Point Police Department assigned a member to the Rockland County Narcotics Task Force. This unit is comprised of Police Officers from around the County of Rockland and focuses on narcotics investigations. In October of 1992 the Stony Point Police Department celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary with an open house and celebration that was attended by many Town residents, elected officials and fellow law enforcement officers. The authorized strength stood at twenty-seven full-time Police Officers, six part-time Police Officers, ten Auxiliary Police Officers and one full time and three part-time clerical staff. On April 30 th, 1994, Stephen G. Scurti, the first officer and only Chief of Police, retired after thirty-one years in law enforcement. Lieutenant David Jackson, a 22 year veteran of the department, was appointed Chief of Police. In 1995 Chief Jackson begins the process of computerizing the police department operations. On July 31 st, 1996 Chief David Jackson retires after 25 years of service to the Stony Point Police Department. Lieutenant William F. Franks, a 23 year veteran, was appointed Chief of Police. In May of 1999 the department started the Stony Point Youth Court. The program operates under the direction of the Department Youth Officer, Detective Andrew Kryger, with assistance from the Stony Point Justice Court. The program is intended as a learning and diversion program for Stony Point youth. In June of 1999 the department formed a Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit. The unit is comprised of members of the uniform patrol who will receive specialized training with the assistance of the New York State Department of Transportation. The unit was formed to conduct safety inspections on the high volume of commercial vehicle traffic travelling through Town. In November of 1999 the department began a renovation and upgrade project to its communication center. The project is financed with an $ 180,000.00 grant received from the State of New York. When complete the communications center will be outfitted with the most up to date electronics and be capable of running multiple operations simultaneously.
In March of 2001 the Department assigns its first member to the Rockland County Intelligence Center. This unit is comprised of Police Officers from departments within Rockland County and focuses on gathering and disseminating criminal information to law enforcement agencies.

Markets in Merger AnalysisHerbert J. HovenkampUniversity of Iowa - College of Law August 21, 2012 Antitrust Bulletin, 2012 U Iowa Legal Studies Research Paper No. 12-26 Abstract: Antitrust merger policy suffers from a disconnect between its articulated concerns and the methodologies it employs. The Supreme Court has largely abandoned the field of horizontal merger analysis, leaving us with ancient decisions that have never been overruled but whose fundamental approach has been ignored or discredited. As a result the case law reflects the structuralism of a bygone era, focusing on industrial concentration and market shares, largely to the exclusion of other measures of competitive harm, including price increases. Only within the last generation has econometrics developed useful techniques for estimating the price impact of specific mergers in differentiated markets – so called "unilateral effects" analysis. In Brown Shoe the Supreme Court equated the newly amended merger law's phrases "line of commerce" and "section of the country" with relevant product and geographic markets. When it drafted those phrases, however, Congress almost certainly did not have technical definitions of relevant markets in mind. "Line of commerce" was commonly used to describe a particular "line" of business, such as clothing or groceries. A "line" could include complements as well as substitutes. The phrase "section of the country" was intended to create jurisdictional limits. Mainly, Congress wanted to make sure that the Clayton Act's reach would be limited to mergers whose impact was felt in the United States rather than abroad. While Brown Shoe required definition of a relevant market, its rationale was fundamentally at odds with the rationale for market definition in horizontal merger cases today. The Court was not thinking of a relevant market as a grouping of sales capable of being monopolized or cartelized. The perceived injury in Brown Shoe was not that the merger threatened higher prices from increased concentration in the shoe market – thus benefitting rivals but harming customers. Rather, the concern was that post-merger Brown Shoe would acquire a competitive advantage over its competitors. Indeed, Brown Shoe was a "unilateral effects" case in the sense that its concern was not with market wide collusion, but rather with the likelihood that the post-merger firm would be able to undersell other firms within the same market. Viewed in historical perspective, Brown Shoe should serve to give antitrust policy makers far greater latitude to develop merger assessment methodologies that are not wed to traditional market definition concepts. Not only do they serve us poorly today, they are not what the Supreme Court had in mind in the first place. This paper will appear in a symposium on market definition and market power in the Antitrust Bulletin, Fall, 2012.

Hello everyone,
I hope the new year is finding each of you healthy and happy! The holidays are now astern of us and our new course has yet to be charted. I know we spoke of an early spring or late winter gathering at the Devils Den facility to start off '07 and there's no time like the present to start planning. I believe Dave S. said he'd make contact with the Devil's Den owner and get some target dates for the group to fix on. That should get our first event underway but I wanted the group to start thinking about the event after that or maybe going to a sister chapters event to meet other captains and check out some new places. If anyone has ideas or suggestions please share them because that's how we make our hobby better, I would just ask that we keep those circulating in this forum string so anyone wishing to follow along can do so without having to search for additional comments or conversations.
I'd like to say that each one of you is a great asset to the chapter and to the Committee. '07 is going to be a great year! I personally look forward to sailing with each of you.
Michael Wilson

And if I'm wrong at this point then it was a exception of 0,001% because of his volume of ~5000 posts.
In my point of view you just joined GT220 in cyberbullying people like ASDX and Qaridarium.

Federal-employee, veterans groups assail proposal to limit COLAs
Friday - 11/9/2012, 8:49pm EST
Congress returns this week and is expected to begin work on an alternative to the across-the-board budget cuts, known as sequestration, slated to go into effect in January.
But some federal-employee groups and veterans organizations say a legislative proposal that would result in lower cost-of-living adjustments for federal and Social Security retirees is a non-starter.
President Barack Obama's 2010 debt-reduction panel first proposed the idea of switching to a "chained" Consumer Price Index method of calculating inflation that would, in effect, curtail future benefits for retirees.
On a conference call hosted by the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said changing the CPI formula would result in "significantly less generous" annual cost-of-living adjustments that make sure retirement benefits keep pace with inflation.
Under the chained CPI, seniors who retire now at 65 would see their benefits cut by about $560 dollars a year by the time they reach 75, Sanders said. By the time they reach 85, they would see their benefits cut by about $1,000 annually.
"Many folks in Washington want to see this program implemented now," said Sanders, who was joined on the call by representatives from federal-employee and veterans organizations. "We're not talking about 10 years from now. We are talking about now."
'Chained' basics
Inflation is currently calculated using the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, known as (CPI-W). Each year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics measures the difference in price of a number of key goods and services.
The chained CPI, on the other hand, assumes that people often substitute lower-cost alternatives, especially during tough economic times — which means smaller annual benefit increases.
Many economists consider the chained CPI more accurate, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a bipartisan think tank that supports the move to the chained CPI. However, "The policy clearly amounts to a reduction in future Social Security benefits, which many find objectionable," analysts at the think tank wrote in a February 2012 report.
Retiree and veterans groups also criticize the option because the amount by which benefits are reduced continues to grow each year that a person draws on benefits. Sanders said this would particularly harm the very elderly and longtime disability beneficiaries, which often includes veterans.
NARFE: Proposal would 'short-change' feds, vets
Julie Tagen, the legislative director of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association (NARFE), said she's very concerned about how a move to a chained CPI would affect federal retirees, who often live on tight fixed incomes. With the government's veteran-hiring preferences, many current and retired federal employees are also veterans, she added.
"These are people who have devoted their lives to both fighting and working for our country," Tagen said. "We believe it's not right to short-change them after all they've given to America. How can we, in good conscience, ask them to give even more?"
Even some backers of the proposal, including the CBPP, have indicated concern about the proposal's effect on retiree benefits.
The think tank said the chained CPI would be reasonable only if was included as part of a "comprehensive" deficit-reduction package. The group also advocated including a modest bump for long-time Social Security beneficiaries, who would be most most vulnerable to progressively lowered benefits, and recommended individuals receiving disability benefits be exempt from the chained CPI altogether.
Sanders said he understands Congress must find ways to reduce the deficit.
