ShawdowFB is software-only. More likely this enables an approach similar to SNA.Though from the sounds of it, it's basically like using ShadowFB with Catalyst
Phoronix: AMD: Experimental "ShadowPrimary" Acceleration
Hidden away within the new Catalyst 12.6 Linux driver are 2D acceleration improvements. These improvements aren't visible by default but there's a special command to activate this "ShadowPrimary" support...
ShawdowFB is software-only. More likely this enables an approach similar to SNA.Though from the sounds of it, it's basically like using ShadowFB with Catalyst
Do you have a link where SNA is briefly described? I'm not very familiar with all these Linux 2D rendering approaches. ^^
That's a great news if catalyst allows enabling software rendering (I will try to check it a bit later). 2D performance had been so abysmal with the older catalyst releases, that it got really irritating and I had to give up experimenting with OpenCL on my computer.
I recommend giving this one a whirl, I have been using it for the past two days at the suggestion of another user on these forums, and man is it faster for 2d things like scrolling in the web browser, which has been just abysmal for a while now. I haven't noticed any real bad side effects yet either. I'm on a hd5770
My browser is Firefox. And in fact they are now allowing to disable the use of XRENDER accelerated 2D graphics in favour of client side software rendering, just because of bad drivers such as fglrx. The comments in that Mozilla blog provide the performance numbers for some kind of rotating psychedelic thing and fishtank. These are the workloads more suitable for GPU, and can outperform software rendering by a huge margin when having a good driver. In fact fishtank is the most GPU-friendly test from all the cairo traces used for cairo benchmarking: http://ickle.wordpress.com/2012/04/0...nce-on-radeon/
Still fglrx managed to perform worse than CPU rendering in all the benchmarks with cairo traces. Also the users feedback from the Mozilla blog confirm that fglrx has been always the worst choice. It is important to remember that unlike synthetic tests, the typical 2D workloads usually have less scaling and almost never rotation. And such simple non-scaled 2D operations can be handled by software rendering very well.
If fglrx now allows disabling their good for nothing 2D hardware acceleration, then their drivers can become usable for normal linux desktop.
Last edited by ssvb; 06-01-2012 at 05:49 PM.
With Chrome and fglrx, I get a massive speed improvement when I enable "disable GPU Vsync" in about:flags.
That's good to hear. Too bad that users of older integrated graphics (like in 780G, 785G, 880G, etc) will never benefit from it. I had a 785G motherboard and was running on the IGP and it was terrible on the desktop. The 2D desktop performance was slightly (very very slightly) better than an Atom N270 with GMA950. The 3D performance was as expected and actually quite decent for what it was.
It would be interesting to get some benchmark results with this option turned on.

Isn't this a bit overkill? Why would anyone use opencl on a webpage?
Phoronix: WebCL: OpenCL For The Browser
Isn't this a bit overkill? Why would anyone use opencl on a webpage?
It would actually be kind of cool. Upload a data set to your webbrowser and let it crunch away instead of having to install an application on your system first. Also I could also see distributed projects liking this as well. Open up your browser, navigate to a page, and bamm you have another client on the swarm crunching away.
This is really getting stupid.
Web browser has no business in dealing with complicated processor hungry tasks, and too much worry is being made over getting the processing off the processor onto the GPU. You know, with these big fast multi-core CPUs, you can whip off a lot of numbers... its what they're there for, USE THEM and quit worrying about GPUs.
You can use OpenCL from within OpenGL to do different things - so I can see why you might want to have the same abilities within WebGL. I suspect it probably won't be used very much, though.
It could be cool to do some crowdsourcing with it. For example, put up an OpenCL algorithm in javascript on a webpage, and let a bunch of people hit it with different hardware. Serve up different versions, or even let them edit parameters in the javascript to find ideal splits based on what hardware you have. So i guess I can think of a few cool things to do with it.
of WebCL use.
And WebCL can be 100x faster than JS!
And if GPU is idling then why not use it for some computing?
And WebApps may need some extra horse power. (stfu, those of you that forbid web apps to become complex stuff).
Yyeah, I'm totally gonna give a random web page access to my gpu in order for it to mine bitcoins on my electricity.
This is true, but I don't see why the browsers couldn't use a CPU-only implementation such as AMD's APP SDK (fka Stream) or Intel's CPU-based OpenCL run-time library.Even when OpenCL-over-Gallium3D is there, it won't do any good for those with the Intel classic driver or those just wishing to use OpenCL on the CPU;

Most state taxes can't be completed until the federal 1040 is done. / Thinkstock
State tax refunds may be a surprise victim of the federal "fiscal cliff."
Federal and state tax systems are so intertwined that taxpayers will find it nearly impossible to file a state tax return - or get a timely refund - until Congress resolves the current fight over tax policy.
Most of the fiscal cliff fight involves tax rates for 2013. That doesn't affect your ability to file this year's return. But Congress also needs to retroactively settle a few 2012 tax issues - deductions, credits and the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Until this is done, it will be hard to file either a federal or state tax return.
Forty-one states and Washington, D.C., have income taxes, collecting $300 billion in 2012. All of these governments have finished their rules, set rates and are ready for taxpayers to file.
About two-thirds of state income tax filers get a refund. The amounts are smaller than the average federal refund of $2,707 last year, but still substantial: an average of $1,146 in Maryland, $831 in California and $314 in Ohio.
For simplicity reasons, nearly every state uses "federal adjusted gross income" as the starting point for computing state tax liability. With federal tax law up in the air, how to compute that crucial number - what goes on Line 37 of the federal 1040 form - will remain a mystery to many taxpayers.
"Theoretically, you can file state and federal returns separately. In reality, the two systems work in concert with each other, so it's hard to separate them," says Harley Duncan, managing director of state tax issues at KPMG, a tax advisory firm.
Tax preparer H&R Block is encouraging clients to wait to file state and federal returns together, says Mimi Nolan, director of the company's Tax Institute. TurboTax has created a "red light/green light" system in its software to tell users if, in the estimation of TurboTax's 150 tax analysts, it's OK to file a state return before federal law is set.
"Tax refunds are the biggest payday of the year, bar none, for 60 million people living paycheck to paycheck," says TurboTax Vice President Bob Meighan. "This money is critically important to people paying rent, paying down debt and other expenses."
But tax law is so complicated that even the 96% of taxpayers who don't use the deductions currently being debated can get tripped up on unsettled issues, such as whether the sales tax can be an itemized deduction and the AMT.
Some examples of state returns and refunds thwarted by the current debate:
â?¢ Many states require attaching completed federal tax forms to state returns. Example: North Dakota requires the federal 1040. New Mexico wants Schedule A. New Jersey wants Schedule B. New York wants Schedules C, D, E and F.
â?¢ The IRS runs the electronic filing system used by states and 80% of taxpayers. The IRS is supposed to start accepting federal and state electronic returns on Jan. 22. If Congress doesn't act soon on the AMT, the IRS will need until March to reprogram its e-file computers - a delay that would block millions of state returns.
"The AMT is the bug-a-boo," says Verenda Smith, deputy director of the Federation of Tax Administrators, a coalition of state tax collectors. States don't use the federal AMT to compute taxes, but they rely on the federal electronic filing system to be at full speed during the peak filing period in mid-February.
"Our state return is indivisible from the federal return," says Gary Gudmundson of the Ohio Department of Taxation. "It's not like you can do one without the other."

Hi, doubters. How is the doubt now with the Steam Linux client out in open beta?
it wasn't about stating it wouldn't come to linux (at least for me, go read all my past posts on this), it was how it was handled by phoronix, really really badly.

Re: New Shot at Aussie Team
Though they are both cycling legends and will bring great experience to the team, they don't bring young legs.

Bewdie !! Just hope they actually co me up with a decent jersey design. Must have been a bit of a bummer for the Schlecklets .....
Re: New Shot at Aussie Team
I dont think the Shreks will shed a lot of tears - they still have Jens and Fabian to be their workhorses. Stuie is better off in a leadership role at GE as opposed to being a match for the schlecks to burn next GT - chalk and cheese those 2 positions .
Re: New Shot at Aussie TeamI wonder if Jens is still racing professionally next year. Still did well this year.
Back to GreenEDGE, I am considering that if HTC Highroad is closing, isn't Mark Renshaw then on the market. I hope he goes to a good team though with the Cav and Renshaw duo working so well - wouldn't be surprised to see them.. and other Highroaders keeping together. Hypothetically, if GreenEDGE are going out to become a GC team - who would or should they put up as their lead rider (purely speculative). Help me Raise $5000 in my Adelaide to Darwin charity ride: TourXOz Details and Fundraising
Re: New Shot at Aussie Team
Jens announced on Twitter just after the Tour ended that he will go around one more time if the team will have him (like you would ever say no!) Think I recall Greenedge say they wont look for GC rides for a few years yet, maybe in time to grab Richie Porte at end of his new contract just as he really hits his straps.
Re: New Shot at Aussie TeamThey've already got Cam Meyer so you would think Porte would be the obvious Australian choice.
Re: New Shot at Aussie TeamI remember reading on cyclingnews that GreenEdge were focusing on spring classics and one day races for the time being
Re: New Shot at Aussie TeamWe are very happy to announce that we have signed Dutch cyclist Pieter Weening - keep an eye out more details to come shortly....

dead link help
If it was a megaupload link it is down because the site has been taken down, I'm sure you can find plenty of mirror links all over the net.
Depositfiles (the first link works)
Now, I find myself in an interesting predicament. It seems that this is only possible with 2.50 and higher, while I find myself with a machine that has 2.10, and thus no ability to access the recovery menu. I am having a bit of difficulty updating to a compatible version, as the current version that it wants me to update to is well beyond 3.55, as I am sure you can guess.
I would like to see a way to fix this issue, and all I have found is this method, which is a bit out of date. At the same time, if I update, I am going to lose my other os feature. I have another system that has it on it already, and am willing to accept that as my computer, but this one needs some help. Any chance there have been some updates I have missed out on in this matter?
Oh, I figured out what my problem was, my flash drive didn't have the PS3 folder, just the update. Thanks for the quick responses though

Hey, I've got a demo machine I'd love to flip over to retail, and this actually doesn't seem like it would be to hard to do.
My only problem is, I recently had to retrieve it from my sister's boyfriend's house after he "borrowed" it for about three weeks, and the moron did a system update.
So, my machine is now on v 4.11 I believe is what it is. Will the PUP file previously linked still work? Or am I going to need a newer PUP?
the only solution at the moment is to downgrade to 3.55 then covert to retail and update. 3.56+ has new firmware security checks so you will get a error if you try a modified pup
Please excuse my ignorance, but exactly how do I go about downgrading a demo machine?
If a thread already exists, (which I'm pretty sure it does), a link will be sufficient.
the same way you would downgrade a retail console, you need a hardware nor flasher e3 or a progskeet type device
thanks bro

A scrumptious peanut soup recipe - gluten and dairy-free. |
Karina's African Sweet Potato Soup Recipe with Peanut Butter, Black-eyed Peas and Beans
My take on African flavors... Why I love this soup? I admit, it's the peanut butter. It nudges the broth into a rich, garlicky, peppery brew with a citrus-y finish (thanks to lime juice and cilantro). As for the curry spices, you can make this soul-satisfying soup as mild or as spicy as your taste buds prefer.
1 tablespoon light olive oil or peanut oil
Heat the light olive oil in large soup pot. Add the curry paste and cinnamon; stir for a minute to infuse the oil with spice. Add the onion, garlic, sweet potato, yellow pepper and jalapeño. Stir and cook the veggies for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
Karina's Notes:
This soups works beautifully cooked slow in a Crock Pot; follow the manufacturer's guidance for cooking vegetable soups.

Service Comments: UPS got a mix-up on the delivery and sent it straight the the post office. My mom had to hunt down both post offices in her area to find out where it was. We found them and I am not mad at that. Just make sure when it says it will be delivered by UPS it is by UPS and not USPS. My cards arrived on the day and was in excellent condition.

I graduated recently obtaining a Computer Engineering degree (Master Level) at the University of Pisa. Now I am very keen on proving and improving my skills. My main ones are the intuition, the creativity and the passion I put in what I do. I have several technical skills, but I think the most important is my ability to learn quickly and independently new technologies, and therefore the ability to study and understand advanced technical subjects. My university experience taught me mostly to be flexible, fast and dynamic. I am a cheerful person. I do love the teamwork and socializing. In my free time I like drawing. A nice smile on my face is my way to start the day and face up problems and challenges.
I am motivated to become a specialist in what will be my field. I would like to work on Internet related technologies, on Social Networks applications or on high performance/quality Software.

The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The purpose of this Travel Advice is to provide up-to-date information to enable you to make well-informed decisions.
Be vigilant and aware of your surroundings at all times, and maintain a high level of personal security awareness. Monitor local media and follow the advice of local authorities. Consult our Global Issues page for information on the security situation in Europe.
Violent crime in Germany is low. However, petty crime (mugging, pickpocketing and purse snatching) occurs in major cities and train stations, airports and Christmas markets.
Pickpockets often work in teams and target trains, railway stations and airports. Their methods include distracting the attention of a victim who is boarding or alighting from a train or surrounding the victim in line-ups or at check-in counters.
Extremist youth gangs are a threat, particularly in some smaller urban areas and in parts of former East Germany. Gang members have been known to harass or attack individuals because of their race or for looking "foreign".
Arson attacks on parked vehicles have occurred.
The Government of Germany maintains a public alert system on terrorism. Visit the website of the German Federal Ministry of the Interior for more information. Continue to exercise normal security precautions.
Demonstrations occur and have the potential to suddenly turn violent. Avoid all demonstrations and large gatherings, follow the advice of local authorities and monitor local media.
Strikes may occasionally interfere with mail, telephone, transport and other services.
Roads and public transportation are excellent in the west and good throughout the east.
Rail service is widely available and reliable.
See Transportation Safety in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
General safety measures
Exercise normal safety precautions. Ensure that personal belongings, passports and other travel documents are secure at all times.
Emergency services
Dial 112 for emergency assistance. Dial 110 In the event of a traffic accident.
Entry/exit requirements
Entry/exit requirements

The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from the German authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany or one of its consulates for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadians must present a passport to visit Germany, which must be valid for at least three months beyond the date of expected departure from that country. Prior to travelling, ask your transportation company about its requirements related to passport validity, which may be more stringent than the country's entry rules.
If you intend to reside in Germany for three months or more, you must register with the German authorities (Einwohnermeldeamt) within seven days of your entry into the country.
Tourist visa: Not required for stays up to 90 days*
Business visa: Not required for stays up to 90 days*
Student visa: Required
* The 90 days begin upon initial entry into any country of the Schengen area.
Extension of tourist visits longer than 90 days is not possible; you must apply for a residence permit and provide a valid reason. If you stay beyond the 90-day limit unexpectedly (for example, due to illness), contact the Foreigners' Office (Ausländerbehörde) to get a certificate (Grenzuebertrittsbescheinigung) that must be submitted to the border authorities upon departure. For more information, dial 030 90269 4000 to reach the Foreigners' Office Service.

Children need special documentation to visit certain countries. See Children for more information.
Yellow fever
See Health to obtain information on this country's vaccination requirements.
- Measles: Global Update - March 13, 2015 13:54 EDT
Routine Vaccines
Be sure that your routine vaccines are up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Vaccines to Consider
You may be at risk for these vaccine-preventable diseases while travelling in this country. Talk to your travel health provider about which ones are right for you.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver spread through blood or other bodily fluids. Travellers who may be exposed (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment, sharing needles, tattooing, acupuncture or occupational exposure) should get vaccinated.
Seasonal influenza occurs worldwide. The flu season usually runs from November to April in the northern hemisphere, between April and October in the southern hemisphere and year round in the tropics. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus spread from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Get the flu shot.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease and is common in most parts of the world. Be sure your measles vaccination is up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Tick-borne encephalitis
Tick-borne encephalitis is a viral disease that affects the central nervous system. It is spread to humans by the bite of an infected tick. Vaccination should be considered for those who may be exposed to ticks (e.g., those participating in outdoor activities in wooded areas) while travelling in regions with risk of tick-borne encephalitis.
Yellow Fever Vaccination
Yellow fever is a disease caused by a flavivirus from the bite of an infected mosquito.
Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection.
* It is important to note that country entry requirements may not reflect your risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) you will be visiting to verify any additional entry requirements. | |

Recommendation |
Food and Water-borne Diseases
Travellers to any destination in the world can develop travellers' diarrhea from consuming contaminated water or food.
Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in Western Europe. When in doubt, remember…boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
Insects and Illness
In some areas in Western Europe, certain insects carry and spread diseases like Lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis, and West Nile virus.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
There is no risk of malaria in this country.
Animals and Illness
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats. Certain infections found in some areas in Western Europe, like rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.
Person-to-Person Infections
Crowded conditions can increase your risk of certain illnesses. Remember to wash your hands often and practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette to avoid colds, the flu and other illnesses.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV are spread through blood and bodily fluids; practise safer sex.
Medical services and facilities
Good medical care is widely available. A hospital stay or medical treatment is expensive, and immediate cash payment is often expected. German hospitals do not issue the detailed breakdown of expenses that is usually required by Canadian insurance companies. Such a detailed bill has to be requested from the hospital or the doctor.
Keep in Mind...
The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.
Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack a travel health kit, especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.
Laws & culture
Laws & culture
You are subject to local laws. See Arrest and detention for more information.
Canada and Germany are signatories to the European Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons. This enables a Canadian imprisoned in Germany to request a transfer to a Canadian prison to complete a sentence. The transfer requires the agreement of both Canadian and German authorities.
Carry adequate identification at all times, as police have the right to ask to see it. Keep a photocopy of your passport in case of loss or seizure.
Illegal drugs
Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are strict. Convicted offenders can expect jail sentences or heavy fines.
Driving laws
You must be at least 18 years old to drive a vehicle in Germany. An International Driving Permit is recommended.
A Canadian driver's licence can be used for a maximum of six months. After six months, your Canadian licence must be exchanged for a German one. Allow up to six weeks for German authorities to exchange the licence.
You must always carry your driver's licence as well as insurance, vehicle documents and written permission from the registered owner if the vehicle does not belong to you.
Observe traffic laws and regulations, particularly rights-of-way and speed limits. Much of the autobahn network authorizes much higher speeds than normally allowed in Canada. Exercise caution.
The use of cellular telephones while driving is prohibited, unless they are fitted with a hands-free device.
Penalties for drinking and driving are strict. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.05 percent. Convicted offenders can expect heavy fines, and driver's licences may be confiscated immediately.

Rain is in the forecast today at Space Coast Stadium.
VIERA, Fla. — After more than two weeks of perfect weather, I suppose we were bound to experience some clouds and precipitation eventually. Sure enough, we've already had some sprinkles at Space Coast Stadium this morning, and there is going to be a threat of showers most of the day.
Assuming the rain holds off enough to allow the Nationals and Mets and to play, we'll get a good look at Jim Riggleman's new lineup. He has Jayson Werth batting third today, with Ryan Zimmerman fourth, and that's the direction he's leaning toward for the regular season. The idea: Werth is a high-OBP guy, giving Zimmerman more RBI opportunities.
"I'd like to have some men on base when Zim comes up, and if Werth is that guy, that would be real good," Riggleman said.
Against right-handers, Riggleman will probably have Adam LaRoche batting fifth, with the left fielder du jour sixth. Against tough lefties (such as the Mets' Jon Niese, who starts today), LaRoche will probably hit sixth with Michael Morse fifth.
Speaking of LaRoche, he's going to be restricted to DH duties for a couple of days due to some soreness in his left shoulder. Riggleman didn't seem too concerned about it, though it's obviously worth watching.
Plenty of updates to come throughout the day…

- JD - Mar 1, 2011 at 2:51 PM
Against tough lefties Adam LaRoche should be on the bench; he can't hit them. It would be nice if Flores or Ramos could handle 1st base part time.
- sjm 308 - Mar 1, 2011 at 3:12 PM
Another good reason for Werth to bat 3rd is that he is a really good baserunner. He might be one of the best in the league at taking the extra base and if Morgan or Desmond is on ahead of him Zimm just might have 120 rbi's. We do not have the same team as last year that clogged the bases. I realize Pudge can't run but did you guys see Ramos go from 1st to 3rd yesterday. How great is that. We can actually run the bases. Now we need to hope that Nyjer gets himself back to what we saw two years ago.Got to love the springGo Nats!
- DFL - Mar 1, 2011 at 3:15 PM
sjm 308, you are exactly correct about Werth. He should bat third, Zimmerman fourth and La Roche/Morse fifth. To H— with the Right-Left-Right theory.
- sjm 308 - Mar 1, 2011 at 3:28 PM
DFL – completely agree, that lefty/righty stuff is way overrated. I also like that even though its just one game, I think Riggleman actually talked about Morse moving up to 5th in the lineup. Not sure Morse got much love like this last year.

My soul too, Anon at 10:37! When I saw that Ramos sprint from 1st to third, I yelped. For the past few seasons, I have mostly pretended to see hope for us in Spring. A crossed fingers kind of hope. Now I just feel hope. I feel like we really are coming into our own. Go Nats!
- Farid - Mar 1, 2011 at 3:59 PM
JD said… Against tough lefties Adam LaRoche should be on the bench; he can't hit them"Last year, LaRoche batted .264-6-34 against lefties (.264-20-115 over 550 at-bats). Over his career, he's averaged (again assuming 550 at-bats for comparison) .254-21-98. against lefties.Last year, Dunn would of hit in those same number of at-bats .199-30-81 against lefties.One of LaRoche's strong points is his ability to hit against lefties.Farid
- Steve M. - Mar 1, 2011 at 4:00 PM
Following over from the last post on Gaudin, I just watched yesterday's game that I TiVo'd and Craig Stammen looked unprepared again.In 2 innings of work, 1 run, 3 hits and a walk facing replacements and AAA hitters after Gaudin's 3 innings. He threw way too many pitches and was not hitting his spots. Just not a good first impression while everyone else looked good against the mostly AAA guys left for the rest of the game.
- Anonymous - Mar 1, 2011 at 4:06 PM
What do pitchers who didn't throw yesterday and aren't lined up to pitch today or tomorrow do today? any side throwing sessions?MM
- erocks33 - Mar 1, 2011 at 4:21 PM
I agree with Farid. I'm not concerned about LaRoche facing off against a LHP.The one player who should NEVER sniff the batters box against a LHP, though, is Nyjer Morgan. He absolutely reeks. In his career (granted, just 334 PA), he's "hitting" .200 / .292 / .269 with 31 walks (9.3%) and 75 strikeouts (25.9%).Compare that to Nyjer's career versus RHP:1069 PA – .308 / .361 / .387 with 68 walks (6.4%) and 138 strikeouts (14.5%). Now, I'd take these numbers as a leadoff guy anytime …
- Steve M. - Mar 1, 2011 at 4:30 PM
Farid – Nice stats and agreed as LaRoche in his career does reasonably well against LHP and in particular crushes Scott Olsen and very good stats vs Ted Lilly, Cole Hamels and Randy Wolf and several other LH pitchers.On the other hand, sit him against Jorge De La Rosa, Clayton Kershaw, JA Happ, Barry Zito and Madison Bumgartner.I think you can't look at a LH batter and just assume you sit him in a LH/LH matchup. I just wish Riggles had looked at some of Dunn's history and sat him a few more times last year in historically bad matchups and ironically Adam Dunn "owns" Clayton Kershaw and of course Mike Bacsik with 3 HRs in 7 at-bats.
- BinM - Mar 1, 2011 at 4:34 PM
I like the idea of RZim in the #4slot; we'll hopefully see how it works. —@MM 11:06: I'd imagine Wood & Wilkie will likely throw either a bullpen or accelerated camp session today & reset for Thursday / Friday.

Season Tickets are scheduled to begin shipping today. Two day shipping.
- JD - Mar 1, 2011 at 5:02 PM
Farid et.al, OBP against lefties in 2010 was .297 in 182 AB's not 550 as you say ; that's not reasonable; that's atrocious. If you look at his career splits they are extreme; he hits righties well and lefties not so much. Posting batting averages is essentially meaningless to me; you have to also draw walks. Laroche's walks to K ratio against lefties is .14 against righties it's .34. His HR ratio against lefties is 10% against righties it's 17%.
- Anonymous - Mar 1, 2011 at 5:04 PM
No one even mentions the fact Chris Marerro, with his low numbered jersey, is getting reps at first base with LaRoche nursing a sore shoulder. And he is starting not coming in late … this 1st round pick is finally on the 40-man and he too now has an opportunity to prove himself.

- BinM - Mar 1, 2011 at 5:33 PM
@anon 12:04 – Marrero is a bat without a position, or as NatsJack referrered to him a day or two ago, "a DH". Yes, he has the opportunity to prove himself, both offensively & defensively. Good luck with that.———-The new layout is fine by me – It's just a frame shift from RH to LH side, with a minor font change. Looks good on a 17" monitor.

We all fear change and I had the same initial reaction to the redesign as others, but I'll get over it.

Don't mind the new concept, didn't mind the old, just glad the good content is still the same.Was great to see Ramos go from first to third but disagree about Pudge being slower, he has always run well for a catcher. Perhaps a footrace is in order…or Mark could ask Pudge if he could beat Ramos

I know everyone is more interested in the game, but hockey writer extraordinaire Michael Farber has a good article about the late Duke Snider.

I'm starting to become a believer that Morse is a late bloomer. A generation or two ago, George Foster was a late bloomer. Ryan Ludwick most recently. One worry- was Morse always 230 lbs? Could he be taking something to enhance his power?
- Steve M. - Mar 1, 2011 at 6:33 PM
DFL, Morse is 6'5" and not skinny. I know 5'8" guys with beer guts that weigh more than that so not sure what point you are trying to make.He was 215 pounds 3 years ago.

I hope Nyjer goes 0 for 50 and they send him to Hagerstown. Batting him in the leadoff spot is very damaging.
- Doc - Mar 1, 2011 at 7:30 PM
Same as last year, MarkMeister. Whenever you go down to the field to take some pictures, the Nats get busy with the lumber. Is it a coincidence–I don't think so.For the rest of the season, whenever the bats need to get busy, I think that it's imperative that you get down to the playing field. You're a significant part of the offense!

Not a fan of the redesign (Ow my eyes) but still glad to see the same great coverage.now as far as the game goes: THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE!

- Feel Wood - Mar 1, 2011 at 7:48 PM
Looks like the web designers heard our complaints and darkened and increased the text font size a bit. And as for the rest of the redesign, I suppose we should count our blessings that these web design guys weren't involved in the recent Nats uniform redesign.
- Steve M. - Mar 1, 2011 at 7:52 PM
To read that he popped up a bunt is just more of Nyjer being Nyjer.So the closest Nyjer has come to getting on base is running through the infield to take his place in CF on defense.
- Frenchie - Mar 1, 2011 at 7:52 PM
MASTER OF CONTROLLivan : 16 pitches = 16 strikesDetwiler : 13 pitches = 13 strikesSo the 29 first pitches the Mets saw coming from the Nats in the first four innings were all strikes!!!
- Frenchie - Mar 1, 2011 at 7:56 PM
And we could say the same things with Balester.4 pitches = 4 strikesSo, the only Nats who threw balls was Kimball. He walked a batter. But 8 of the 9 other pitches he threw were strikes.
- waddu eye no - Mar 1, 2011 at 7:58 PM
1:09glad nyjer has at least the sense to stay out of werth's way. and good to hear he caught a ball. now if he can learn not to pop up bunts…
- HHover - Mar 1, 2011 at 7:59 PM
Frenchie – I think you're getting those #s from MLB gameday, and they're not accurate. As Mark noted above, Livan's first pitch was a ball to Jose Reyes. At his liveblog of the game, Kilgore has Livan's line as 3 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 2 K, 41 pitches, 23 strikes, and Detwiler as 2 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 3 K, 28 pitches, 18 strikes.
- Anonymous - Mar 1, 2011 at 8:00 PM
Frenchie, you do realize that if the batter gets a hit the pitch is counted as a strike, don't you? Not all strikes are good.
- Mark Zuckerman - Mar 1, 2011 at 8:02 PM
Just an FYI, folks: The MLB Gameday updates don't track every pitch in spring training. The "pitch counts" you're seeing are really just the pitches that were put into play or ended an at-bat. Not every pitch today has been a strike.
- Frenchie - Mar 1, 2011 at 8:03 PM
HHover : You were right. I got them from MLB gameday. Thanks for the information.Anonymous at 3 : 00 : I know that, for sure. At least since the birth of the Montreal Expos…

So Corey Brown comes in to replace the 0-6 Nyjer and promptly gets an RBI single. T-Plush oughta be T-Worried right now.
- SacTown - Mar 1, 2011 at 8:12 PM
Have to keep reminding myself that it's the Mets so that I don't get too excited. (I mean, it's a team that's thin in pitching, has a star 3rd basemen, no answer at 2nd, and a guy who had no business in CF… or basically your 2009 Nats).
- Timjoebob - Mar 1, 2011 at 8:32 PM
Mark… any update on Corey Brown. I hate to see injuries in Spring Training.
- N. Cognito - Mar 1, 2011 at 8:50 PM
Two games in Spring Training means nothing, but still, it's more fun when they win.
- Joe Sommer - Mar 1, 2011 at 8:55 PM
SacTown,The Mets are worse than the 2009 Nats, because they have an enormous payroll without much talent to show for it. I do like that Ike Davis kid at first, and Josh Thole at catcher. For sheer cluelessness, the Mets resemble the 2007 Nats. And that's before you reckon with the Wilpons' financial troubles. (Let's see. The Mets are broke, can't afford to pay Johann Santana for a year of rehab, and won't have much of a team for Santana to pitch for next year. The Nats are flush, and are aiming for 2012, rather than 2011. Is there a trade possibility here? Lombardozzi and Santana's salary for Santana?)
- Tcostant - Mar 1, 2011 at 9:00 PM
Mark -Can I ask a stupid question? Why is their a DH in a game between to National League teams? Seems to me. pitchers will most likely be lifted for pinch hitters with their limited innings and if not, it a good time to work on bunting. Is the call (on DH use) that the home team makes? It seems very short sighted to me.P.S. The darker font on the new decign is a little better than this morning.
- MicheleS - Mar 1, 2011 at 9:14 PM
Mark,Any idea if we will see highlights anywhere? Would love to see the kids throw – even though it got dropped.I am glad they are 2-0 in Spring Training.. Remember how it was last spring when they practically went 0 for camp! That was depressing… at least with this we don't have to hear the talking heads make the dire predictions about the Nats this season – They can do that about the METS!!!!!
- Nats fan in NJ - Mar 1, 2011 at 9:19 PM
Re the website design – the only complaint I had was the font color, and that seems to have been made darker. The rest, I'll get used to. And please keep the other links.Re the game – When do we see Bernadina in CF, Morse in LF and Nyjer in MiLB?

I know it is ST. I know it is the Mets and mainly their AAA players but it is good to see Nationals among wins. Least but not last, good to see Morse and Espinosa perform, especially Danny. I am so rooting for him to start season with a bang and win NL ROY.

Nest Learning Thermostat learns user habits and programs itself
The Nest Learning Thermostat is capable of self-programming itself via its user's habits, activity sensors and Internet-gathered weather information
Article Summary
While programmable thermostats are nothing uncommon these days, many users adjust the temperature manually utilizing the thermostat's basic feature only. On the other hand, it's certainly difficult to develop an appropriate program corresponding to the volatility of daily life. Designed by a team led by ex-Apple engineer Tony Fadell, the Nest Learning Thermostat offers a new take on automatic temperature adjustment. Featuring a simple knob-based design, the unit is capable of self-programming itself via a combination of its user's habits, activity sensors and Internet-gathered weather information, thus increasing energy savings without much effort on the user's part.

Block Breaks Through
Ken Block consistently qualified at the top of the field throughout the GRC season. However, bad luck and first-turn crashes kept him off the top step of the podium. Block finally broke through in the season finale, taking advantage of a Tanner Foust start-and-stop penalty midway through the final to take his first win of the year. "The variety of events and tracks for the GRC this year was great," said Block. "The X Games tracks, Bristol, everything was great. But it was great to finish first here in Vegas and have GRC step up and make it such an amazing event. I think we are getting the sport right where it needs to be."

Scimark2: sounds good then, I'll look a bit more. Ffmpeg is nice but the download is 10 minutes @ 186 K/s.
Apache: can we run it only once? (the compilation). It seems like a nice disk+multicore test.
There's two versions of scimark2: scimark2 and java-scimark2. Only the latter should depend upon Java.
ffmpeg is a nice encoding test.
Scimark2: sounds good then, I'll look a bit more. Ffmpeg is nice but the download is 10 minutes @ 186 K/s.
Apache: can we run it only once? (the compilation). It seems like a nice disk+multicore test.
Does the composite test in scimark2 run all the scimark2 tests sequentially? It seems like a nice test if so. Can we run it just once?
Also: all encoding tests seem to trigger the same data download:
Downloading Files For: timed-audio-encode
Estimated Download Size: 74.99 MB
I am really tempted to use scimark2 for CPU_1. It is also very portable (I looked at the code, it's a bunch of self-contained c code it seems ...)

For 3D, would trislam be a good candidate for this? It installed fine in my two machines, but when it runs it opens a window and it doesn't draw anything in it (it always looks black), then it reports the run time, Is that the way it is supposed to be?
No, trislam wouldn't really be good for being a standard. The Perl OpenGL libraries are not too common on most Linux desktops and trislam isn't too real world representative.
Yes, that does sound about right for that test profile.
The unigine tests seem pretty interesting: realistic but also manageable download size, But they are coring in my machine, I wonder how easy it is to get them going in all the platforms of interest ... tests in this swuite should be pretty solid. Any sugestions for 3D?
It seems like unigine really doesn't run in older cards. We need a more universal 3D test:
Unigine would be an excellent 3D test, especially as Unigine Corp is involved with PTS.

Michael: let's summarize where we are, and there are a few questions that you haven't seen above:
- CPU_S = Single Core CPU plus RAM. Test: Scimark2, Composite test [1]
- CPU_M = Multiple Core CPU plus disk. Test: build-apache, one pass [2]
- GUI_2D = 2D Performance. Test: gtkperf draw circles. [3]
- GUI_3D = 3D Perfomance. Test: Unigine Sanctuary [4]
The global test scores would be as follows:
- system-quick = power(CPU_S*CPU_M*GUI_2D*GUI_3D, 1/4)
- system-quick-cli = power(CPU_S*CPU_M, 1/2)
- system-quick-gui = power(GUI_2D*GUI_3D, 1/2)
Note that the score of system-quick is also the geometric mean of the other two. When you run a test, besides the global score we can show the individual scores, like in geekbench: a big number, and details beneath.
[1] Does the composite aggregate all the individual tests od scimark2? That would be best.
[2] The regular test for build-apache builds it 3 times, way too long for this. Can we build it just once in this test?
[3] Draw circle may be limited. Can we run all "draw" tests sequentially and aggregate? (maybe not)
[4] What do we do in cases where Unigine fails? (older cards). Maybe we should only show the cpu score in that case.
I think we are getting there. Best!

ESPN broadcaster Dick Vitale thought Duke played terrible against Miami on Wednesday. / Robert Mayer, USA TODAY Sports
Unlike LeBron James, the Duke Blue Devils didn't take their talents to South Beach.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski's top-ranked team seemed to leave it all back in Durham, getting blown out by 27 points by Miami (Fla.) and looking like the Hurricanes' punching bag for much of the night.
One way to tell that the Blue Devils were getting freakishly embarrassed came when TV's most Duke-biased personality completely bashed them.
Early in the second half, ESPN analyst Dick Vitale ripped Duke without any remorse, paying ultimate compliments to Miami.
"This is the poorest performance I have witnessed from a Duke team in all my years sitting courtside," Vitale said passionately on the live ESPN broadcast.
He later added, "Warm up the bus, this game is over. ...(The Blue Devils) have no one to blame but themselves."
With Duke reeling and left searching for answers (and a shooting touch), Miami is looking more and more like a legitimate contender to win the Atlantic Coast Conference after routing Duke and with challenger N.C. State losing to Wake Forest on Tuesday night.
Ah, cue the Will Smith. If this team advances far in the NCAA tournament, you know "Welcome to Miami" will be playing on TV as the team's anthem.
