Geez, didn't realize that Lolla was such a lock, what a weird get by Perry. And it's their only real Midwest show even, interesting.
well nothing's official yet.
The Glitter Freeze
Coachella 99-10 Vet, the run has ended in 2011
I can't believe they wouldn't be there, looking at those dates. Zero Midwestern dates and Lolla is conspicuously right during that week off where they have to travel west from NYC to Seattle?
That's as close to a lock as I can imagine.
lucky Lolla-goers. i really want the band to hit coachella again, though i know that's not gonna work this year
I actually like the album art. But that's just my opinion.
Upcoming Shows:
- Caribou @ The Fonda in Los Angeles on Saturday, February 28th
- The Replacements @ The Palladium in Los Angeles on Wednesday, April 15th
- Belle & Sebastian + Mac Demarco @ The Fox Theater in Pomona, CA on Thursday, April 16th
6x Coachella Attendee (2007 - 2011, 2014a)
That some ugly shit you like Passive - sorry.
Maybe I think of DM being more sophisticated - even in design. Lord knows they have been in the past - Anton Corbin, etc...
Minimal is one thing, but it has to be with purpose and direction - this latest art have neither.

Ultra is one of their weakest albums. And dont bother with Exciter btw.
I love Exciter but i realize why it got such a bad reception. Ultra is no Music for the Masses, but it is worth listening to. It has actually become one of my favorite DM albums. It has a lot of great songs, and all of the Ultra songs are really strong live so it is a good album to at least be familiar with...
And it's the first album post-Alan Wilder...they did a hell of a job without his help.

Damn is skipping coachella worth getting to see DM an extra couple nights...this is gunna kill me....it would be so much easier if they just played coach!
id prob skip Coachella if it meant seeing Beastie Boys a few extra times... your choice. WRONG
Upcoming Shows:

All i keep thinking is these guys have been playing for 30 years. Honestly, how many more times am I going be able to see them before they call it quits. After every album i think that it will probably be the last.
Fuck! I don't wanna have to miss Moz but im sure he'll play all over so cal in the fall. So possibly/probably no Coachella But DM is sooooooooo worth it.

Crafted by traditional artisans at Muckross House, a Victorian mansion set within Ireland's Killarney National Park, this is the gentleman's 100% alpaca tweed scarf. Unlike traditional tweed, which uses coarse wool that can be rough and uncomfortable, this impeccably soft garment is made from pure alpaca yarn spun exclusively for this County Kerry atelier. The luxury fiber is as cozy as cashmere yet three times stronger than sheep's wool, so it can withstand daily wearings without pilling or fraying. Fleecy instead of itchy, the alpaca�s hollow hairs trap heat, providing superior insulation against a chilly Atlantic wind. Each scarf is individually woven on a 200-year-old Harris loom, a vintage tool that yields a distinctive loose texture and a selvage edge that prevents unraveling. Finished with hand-knotted fringe. Brown. 68" L x 12" W. (1 1/2 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Gentleman's Irish Tweed Scarf comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee at no additional charge.

Is Turbo Core even working like it should in multi-threaded workloads?
Phoronix: AMD Cool 'n' Quiet, Turbo Core Impact On Linux
For those wondering about the impact that AMD's Cool 'n' Quiet and Turbo Core technologies have under Linux for the latest-generation Bulldozer processors, here are some tests illustrating the changes in performance, power consumption, and operating temperature.
Is Turbo Core even working like it should in multi-threaded workloads?
Last edited by PsynoKhi0; 11-16-2011 at 11:15 AM.
Oh wow, Michael.... you need to read up more about how and when turbo core works;
There are two stages of boost; 500 MHz, and 1 GHz. The 500 MHz boost will happen when all cores are active, but the workload is such that the TDP is NOT EXCEEDED by giving it the extra 500 MHz. The 1 GHz boost will happen only if NO MORE THAN HALF of the cores are active, and the extra boost will not cause it to exceed the TDP. In addition, as I understand it, the 1 GHz boost will only happen if the PROPER HALF of the cores are under load, i.e., one core from each module. If 2 cores in 1 module are loaded, it will only give you 500 MHz.
In order to achieve the 1 GHz boost, the PROCESSOR SCHEDULING ALGORITHM needs to account for the requirements. It needs to distribute the work to the proper cores in order to allow one core of each module to shut down.
The reason why you are observing that turbo core only works with SINGLE THREADED workloads is that this is the only way you are able to trick it into keeping the load off of at least one core of each module.
Finally, you have totally misunderstood the 500 MHz boost conditions; it will NOT boost if all the cores are loaded.
"However, if all cores are being pushed to their limits, Turbo Core is activated but at a lower frequency than the maximum." -- this is totally wrong. If *SOME* of the cores are being pushed to their limits, which may or may not exceed half of the cores, such that giving the loaded cores an extra 500 MHz **WILL NOT** cause it to exceed TDP, that is when the extra 500 MHz is applied. If all the cores are loaded to their limits, it will definitely exceed TDP with the 500 MHz boost. You can have some of them pushed to their limits with the balance of them running *MODERATE* workloads.
To test CnQ try some more relevant workloads like "emerge -v wine" or any workload that spawns short lived processes repeatedly.
The new processes tend to be scheduled on another core (an idle one) and stop before the cores have time to speed up. It would be interesting to see how different processors handle that.
Two things that I wonder, "and the TDP will not be exceeded by the boost. " is that temperature related at all? I mean, I would guess, if I use watercooling or extreme awesome air-cooling, there should be no issue ramping up a single threaded app to max clock, right?
Also, with regards to phenom II too, I've never noticed it kicking in, but it's also really hard to see, without benchmarking, what the current CPU frequency is. /proc/cpuinfo unfortunatly does not show this, which I find a big shame.
As for the article, there seem to be a few things missing (cpu speed graphs when turbo-boost is kicking in properly) and what I found really odd, was that CnQ +Turbo Cool (was that combo enabled, I assumed as such) didn't reduce used power. CnQ should work just as Turbo-boost wasn't enabled when load is low, right? I Just always thought turbo-boost as an extra P state.
The tests seem to be done using just one of the features, can't they both be enabled?
Michael, please at least fix this article by embedding correct graphs for OpenSSL - a.t.m. there are graphs for Smallpt there instead.
Secondly, it would be good it you would fix your slightly incorrect description of turbo-core 2.0 technology. Pretty correct description had already been posted in this thread, still it lacks some implementation details about temperature vs. TDP relations and the fact that the actual value hardware measures is "the actual CPU power consumption" (which is pretty much the same as the actual amount of heat produced by CPU) and turbo-core deactivates boost in case temperature became too close to design limits and CPU power consumption exceeds maximum TDP. In case temperature raises up even more no matter the boost had been turned off (for example it your cooling solution is not adequate) and had exceeded design limits - throttling comes into play, eventually followed by emergency system reset/halt in case temperature still continues to rise.
What would be more interesting to see is the results for the system having both turbo core and cool-n-quiet enabled. Typical user want his or her system to be as cool and quiet as possible while doing some "idle" tasks, but demands max performance when it comes to doing really CPU-intensive tasks. That's why these two technologies complement each other: cool-n-quite takes care of the "idle" case, while turbo boost helps with CPU-intensive tasks speedup.
I've got another situation that CnQ completely screws up on. I've got an OpenCL WebM (VP8 video) decoder which spawns thousands of threads per 1080p frame of video that is decoded. Enabling CnQ chops about 30% off of the decoding frame rate, even when it's just shuffling the work to/from the video card. It's not perfectly optimized, but when I'm trying to get repeatable benchmarking numbers, power management must be disabled first.

crown of thorns
The thorny wreath plaited by the soldiers of Pilate and put on the head of Jesus, when they mocked Him as king of the Jews (Matthew 27; Mark 15; John 19). For centuries it was venerated at Jerusalem. Probably during the 11th century it was conveyed to Constantinople. In 1238 Baldwin II pawned it to the Venetians, from whom Saint Louis IX, King of France, redeemed it, 1239, and built in its honor the magnificent Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. Since 1806 it has been preserved in the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Single thorns, too numerous to be all authentic, are found throughout Christendom. A replica in gold and rubies of the real crown, as reconstructed by Rohault de Fleury, was placed on the statue of Our Lady of Martyrs at Auriesville, New York, the site of the martyrdom of Saint Isaac Jogues and his companions.

ReplyDeleteyou're the first of my top selection of blog roll!
you're so elegant!
It is beginning to seem like you are advertising products on here, especially those from American Apparel. This may, or may not, be the case, and at this point in time it isn't affecting your blog, however i fear that it could hinder your blog in the future which would be a shame.
Nevertheless, great outfit, lovely photos, cute boy. Keep it up the way it is ;)
i am looking for these shoes for a very long time, but they are sold out everywhere.can you tell me where you bought them? thanks a lot!!
gerne auch auf deutsch ;>
hey jan, this might interest others as well hence the public reply. i ordered them from the official online store: http://www.rachelcomeymens.com/
ReplyDeletei hope my questions the last days dont bother you :D
the aa trousers look tapered on you, however these are fairly wide when i tried them on 2010 or 2011..did you make any changes to it?
the chambray fabric would suit my summer clothes pretty good.

Living-in-nature pod can be transported to the mountain peak of your choice
Article Summary
This stunning alpine modular lodge is the creation of Italian design firm LEAPfactory. Dubbed LEAP (living ecological alpine pod) the modules are built entirely off-site, ready to be transported by helicopter to the summit of choice. Breaking away from traditional alpine structures, the pod is fitted with high-tech features and "at the end of its life cycle [it] can be lifted away by helicopter without leaving any permanent trace of its presence in the natural environment" says LEAPfactory.

Comments about Berkeley Plus 15.6" Laptop + Tablet Backpack:
This backpack is exactly what I needed to take my school supplies on the go. I LOVE that I can easily fit not only my computer but ALL of my school books and supplies. When I go on vacation, I will be able to carry-on all of my stuff because I don't need to use my laptop as a "carry-on" piece. Best bang for your buck!

This Backpack Rocks! Teriffic quality!
By Ryckje
from Pacifica, CA
About Me Practical, Retired Traveler Wtoys
This backpack will be a great addition to airline carry-on luggage as stowing things in overhead compartments has gotten MUCH more difficult lately. It won't be long before the airlines charge for that as well. There's enough room in this backpack for an emergency set of clothes (in case a checked bag gets lost), snacks for a long flight, and, of course, an iPad, iPod, noise-cancelling headphones, book, etc. I have several Case Logic products and all have been excellent -- well-made, durable, attractive and lightweight.

Show Day, Sao Paulo
Bono announced in his best Portuguese that last night was a gig for the whole of Brazil, but tonights show was our private little party. It felt that way too. After the pressure of last night it was great to just do a show. (OK, so we did have one little camera crane with a 3D camera on it, but other than that). It was a warm night with no threat of rain, so just before the show Bruce, Smasher and I decided to pull the side coverings off our mix position so we could see the audience and feel like we were in amongst it all. This turned out to be a great call as the crowd was well up for it and sang their hearts out from the opening City of Bling all the way through to the closing All I Want is You.
Back at the hotel I faced something of a dilemma. It was half past midnight and I had to leave for the airport at 5am. Either I could go to my room and pack, catch maybe three hours sleep then get up feeling like death or I could go to the bar. On reflection it was a no-brainer. The bar was jumping. Bono arrived with Naomi Campbell and Quincy Jones in tow and the place was packed with the great and good of Sao Paulo. I felt pretty good and cruised through till 3.30am when I thought Id better go upstairs and pack. This I did, plus showered, got into my pyjamas and.went to the lobby. I was due to have two travelling companions but Ned bailed on me at about 3am and Bruces passport was still at the Japanese Embassy in Sao Paulo so he wasnt going anywhere.
Its quite a way to the airport, so there was light in the sky by the time I got there. Shades on. Continuing its performance from our arrival, Sao Paulo airports bedside manner was fairly traumatic, with lengthy check in procedure, security line and passport control. As if to outdo our entry, the passport control hall was filled with a huge queue but there was just one guy - really just one guy - in the booth to stamp everybody out. Understandably he wasnt in great humour and his mood plummeted further when he asked for my emigration form, given to me, apparently, on arrival. I didnt have one. Its fair to say I dont remember that much about our arrival, other than the huge queue and eventually getting swept off with our group through some side entrance, but being given a form to hand in when leaving the country? Not a breeze. I explained that Id arrived with a group and I didnt think Id filled in a form but he was having none of that. 'You must give me the form.' But Im sure I never had one. 'You mean you lost it?' No, I just dont think I ever had one, I arrived with a group and 'You had one and you wont get anywhere until you tell me you lost it.' OK, I lost it. 'I dont like your attitude.' Im sorry, but I am extremely tired and cant do anything about this. 'Stand there.' So I am duly sent to stand in Naughty Corner round the side of his booth, whilst he serves some other passengers. I then notice that I am not entirely alone, there are a few other people being put through various rituals of humiliation at the behest of the Brazilian control freak. After five minutes I make a return bid. I say Im sorry I have definitely lost it and could he let me know what I need to do. 'You need to have it or you will be fined and I can make you go to the back of the line and maybe you will miss your flight.' I went back to Naughty Corner for a further five minutes and came up with two possible last resort plans. Plan A, to make a run for it. Plan B, to go back the way I came in, check into the airport motel, sleep for about twelve hours then come back and have another go. Finally I went back to the counter, and without a word, Mr Congeniality grabbed my passport, furiously stamped it, flung it back at me and sent me on my way. Have a nice day.
The flight was pretty brutal. An hours delay on board before take off, endless circling holding patterns before landing, sitting on the tarmac waiting for a set of steps for an eternity then baggage-claim taking forever. But finally I emerged and found a friendly taxi driver to take me to my hotel.
Despite being a shell of a man at this point, I couldnt help but feel my spirits lifted at being in Buenos Aires. It looked so green, which sounds daft as we were screaming down a freeway in a little taxi which threatened to vibrate itself into spare parts at any moment, but the sky was wide open, the sun was hot and the air felt clear. I suppose some places just resonate for different people and this is one for me. A lot of people (including many in our touring party) rave about Brazil and I understand that its possible to have a good time there but somehow its never done it for me, though of course Ive only ever been on tour. If its any consolation, I think my experience has improved each time Ive visited since the first time with David Bowie in 1990 which was catastrophic. But personally I cant say its ever been what youd describe as fun.
My driver indicated via sign language that he needed to stop for petrol, so who was I to argue ? He asked me to get out of the car while he filled up and when I did so my phone rang. It was Bruce, 'Where are you, buddy?', Im in a gas station in Argentina...where are you? Mad life.
Logic tells me I must have arrived at the hotel, but I honestly dont remember checking in. Must have been about 2pm and never was I happier to go face down in the duvet.

London. Day off.
22 June 2005
London. Day off.
Managed to sleep in a little (I could get used to this) then headed home to wait for the washing machine repair man. It was one of those deals where theyd given me a window of when he might show up, so I feared the worst, but he didnt keep me waiting too long. In the meantime I made myself a home cooked breakfast and generally pottered about the place. Were off to Dublin for a week now, then coming back here, so there was an amount of re-packing as there no point in dragging all my worldly goods over there.
The washing machine man diagnosed the problem ('electronic') but couldnt fix it, so will have to come back with a spare part or two. Arranging this was a bit of a challenge, but I think I can find him another window at the end of next week, between the Cardiff show and Live 8. I guess Ill just have to smell funny until then.
After this I finally managed to get a haircut, which has been another major challenge of late. My regular round-the-corner barber has moved to Finland since the start of the tour and the guy who cut my hair before that has moved to Australia, so Ive been in a bit of a coiffure void. Ive never managed a great deal of stability with barbers. Perhaps it comes with the territory. I did get a great haircut from Kasha in Vancouver during rehearsals, but that doesnt help me now. I had a couple of good barbers in San Francisco, but again it all went horribly wrong in the end. The first, Sean, developed a teensy weensy heroin problem and started giving crap haircuts, whilst the second, Margy, was very together but could only do flat-tops. They were great flat-tops too - the best I ever had - but once Id moved on stylistically it turned out that she didnt really have a second album. Then there was Ernest in Melbourne, but he ended up with a drug problem too, then there were just a lot of hit-and-miss one-time attempts in random hair salons the world over.
Anyhow, a recommendation from a friend took me to Brent in Jermyn Street who did a cracking job, so perhaps this is the dawn of a new era of style for me. Well see. He said "there are three great mens haircuts for short, medium and long; Steve McQueen, Elvis and Peter Fonda in Easyrider. Call me Steve McQueen. On the way back to the hotel I mooched about some of the other stores along Jermyn Street. This is a street long known for its gentlemens tailors grooming establishments. Nowadays its a mixture of old, established quality firms and tacky new blow-ins, so its a bit hit and miss, but there are still some thrilling things along there. I thought Id see if I could pick up a hat - perhaps a panama or fedora number to get me through the Summer, but sadly my cranium proved too expansive for any of the hat shops to accommodate. (From a distance my head looks like a human head, but actually its a small planet resting on my shoulders).
Back to the hotel and opened a nice bottle of chilled rosÈ. Sitting admiring the view of the river Thames on a gorgeous Summers evening as Big Ben chimes, its hard to imagine wanting to be anywhere else.
Dublin tomorrow. Now the fun starts.

12U utility/pitcher looking to sub for indoor tournaments this winter

My daughters travel team will finish up the fall season the last weekend of this month and has chosen not to play this winter. My daughter does not want to sit for three months so we are looking to sub for some of the indoor tournaments this winter. We live in the Lafayette area so the Blue Chip and new Legacy facility are local for us. She is a first year 12U player (01 birthdate) who is primarily a pitcher but can also play second base, shortstop, and outfield. If you are in need of a sub for this winter please let us know. You can email Sandi at email@example.com.

damn edit time
btw i discovered that K/ubuntu normally set the cpu scheduling to conservative and actually unless you have a laptop or a good acpi implementation in the bios(i assume that it exists somewhere) the cpu is always set to the lower frequency available and it never goes up (same with ppa ubuntu kernels).
the point been that i discovered that when i set my phenom II X4 955 to preformance scheduler my fps jump very hard aka nexuiz default 20ish fps -- performance cpu/ mid gpu 40 ish
The main reason r300 is closer to catalyst is that more people have been working on it longer compared to r600.
Some of the things r300 has that haven't been implemented yet on r600:
- texture tiling
- flushing only when necessary
- limited threading
- hyper Z
- fast clears
- lots of vertex upload optimizations
- more optimized shader compiler
Developers have been hacking on r3xx-r5xx 3D hardware for ~8 years compared to ~2 years for r6xx+. That makes a big difference.
Thx for that info, I hope that all of those features could get implemented into r600g , and we could see better performance numbers someday. Anyway , good job, your work with open source graphics drivers is appreciated.

Midwest Living Review
Red's Savoy inspires love and devotion among its many long-time fans, some of whom have been coming here for the Minnesota-style pizza (cut into squares, not wedges) since the place opened in 1965. On weekends, these folks line up for tables and then wait up to an hour for their pizzas to come out of the oven. What they are waiting for is the pizza they remember from their childhoods—cracker thin-crusts with a smooth red sauce and a liberal layer of gooey cheese. Toppings (sauerkraut, anyone?) are applied with an equally generous hand, and the grease that coats the waxed paper under the pizza? To hardcore fans, that's just proof of how good it is.
Not everyone agrees, unfortunately. These days, Red's is too heavy-handed with the salt in most dishes. And the higher-quality dough, sauce and cheese available at other pizza places means it's easy to feel like Red's hasn't kept up with the times. The dim interior is retro, too, dominated by a long bar and rows of low red-leather booths. For a trip back in time, Red's can't be beat, but the decor and the menu could definitely use some updating. Pizzas range from $7.50 and up for the small; $10.50 and up for large.

Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel hung out with Mississippi linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche at pre-Mardi Gras festivities in New Orleans. / Denzel Nkemdiche, Twitter
If there's a major event to be held, pictures to be taken and poses to be made, there's a very strong chance that Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel will be there (and that someone will write about it).
Manziel, the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, spent this weekend in New Orleans enjoying some of the pre-Mardi Gras festivities with a few friends-slash-SEC-rivals â?? like Mississippi linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche and LSU running back Jeremy Hill, two fall opponents turned offseason buddies.
Nkemdiche, the older brother of newly signed Mississippi recruit Robert Nkemdiche, the nation's top recruit during the 2013 cycle, posed for the above picture with a strange-hat-wearing Manziel.
Wrote Nkemdiche on his Twitter account:
"Started from bottom now we here OVO. Me and @jmanziel2 my Heisman brother! Mardi grassss!!!!!"
Manziel also snapped a picture with Nkemdiche, Hill and other friends, showing that when it comes to the offseason, there are no rivals. (Manziel and A&M barely sneaked past the Rebels on Oct. 6 before losing to the Tigers on Oct. 20.)
Manziel's the one with the yellow shirt, purple hat and two dozen beaded necklaces, including one with an A&M feel, as you can see.
A quick recap of Manziel's life since A&M capped its regular season on Nov. 24: Heisman Trophy, model girlfriend, once-in-a-generation bowl performance, courtside seat(s), Super Bowl, Mardi Gras. Spring ball starts in a month or so.

British astronomer Patrick Moore, who hosted the BBC program The Sky at Night, died Sunday at his home after battling an infection. He was 89.
"After a short spell in hospital last week, it was determined that no further treatment would benefit him, and it was his wish to spend his last days in his own home, Farthings, where he today passed on, in the company of close friends and carers and his cat Ptolemy," said a statement released by Moore's friends announcing his death.
Moore was born in Middlesex, England and suffered from heart problems as a child, according to the New York Times. During World War II, he joined a bomber squad after lying about his age. He was knighted in 2001.
See other celebrities we've lost this year
Throughout his career as an astronomer, Moore published more than 70 science fiction books and books on astronomy. One of those was a 2008 collaboration with Queen guitarist and fellow astronomer Brian May, titled Bang! The Complete History of the Universe. He was also a former president of the British Astronomical Association, as well as a co-founder and former president of the Society for Popular Astronomy.
Moore's interview subjects on The Sky at Night included Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. He often worked conservative political commentary into his broadcasts, speaking out against Britain integrating into the European Union and once referring to immigrants as "parasites," according to the Times. The show, which aired its latest episode Sunday, is the longest-running television program with the same presenter in television history.
Moore never married and had no children.

Sequestration 2.0 would mean furloughs for DoD's entire civilian workforce
Thursday - 1/10/2013, 5:54am EST
Jared Serbu, DoD reporter, Federal News Radio
When Congress pushed the pause button on sequestration last week, it also made some changes to how the automatic budget cuts would take place. And a new analysis suggests almost every civilian employee in the Defense Department would be forced to take a month of unpaid leave if the new version of sequestration isn't undone.
The projections come via the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. Todd Harrison, the think tank's senior fellow for defense budget studies already has warned that the previous version of sequestration, which Congress canceled just after the start of the new year, would have had a disproportionate impact on civilian workers.
Todd Harrison, senior fellow for defense budget studies, Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments
But under the new version of sequestration, things are even worse for the 791,000 civil servants in DoD. While the overall dollar amount the new version of sequestration would cut is smaller — $45 billion instead of $62 billion — the cuts now would be crammed into just seven months in fiscal 2013, a year in which DoD has already been burning through cash at a rate that assumes no cuts would be made.
"That cut comes off of the total level of funding for the year," Harrison said. "By March, DoD already will have spent five months worth of the money in those accounts, so they have to make up that 8.8 percent reduction in the remaining seven months of the year."
That means DoD would have to cut its payroll expenses from March through the end of September by 15 percent.
"If you're going to reduce your payroll expenses by 15 percent for the remainder of the year, that means you have to furlough virtually every single DoD civilian for the maximum amount of time you can under the law, which is one month," Harrison said.
Few other options
Pentagon officials also have warned about the prospect of civilian furloughs under sequestration, but without as much specificity, and department spokesman George Little told reporters this week that DoD has no immediate plans to start issuing furlough notices.
But Harrison said with regard to the operations and maintenance accounts that cover civilian payrolls, DoD would have no other option besides hiring freezes and furloughs. Since the department deliberately chose to delay its planning for sequestration until the last minute, the dire effects on the civilian workforce may have caught Pentagon planners somewhat by surprise, he said.
"I think it would be a good public service for DoD to continue that detailed planning, but also to go public with it," he said. "If everyone has to be furloughed by one month, it's not all going to happen at the same time, so go ahead and tell people who's going to be furloughed in the first month, who's going to be furloughed in the second month. I think that would help inform the public debate so we can make a good decision as a nation about what we want to do."
The civilian workforce cuts would be among the first effects the department would experience if sequestration happens, Harrison said. While the consequences for acquisition and defense contractors would be real, they wouldn't be immediate.
"Because on March 1, if you walk into a factory where they're working on a weapons system, all the work they're doing at that point is based on money that's been obligated already," he said.
Contracts would have to be renegotiated
Harrison assessed it's highly unlikely that any programs would be outright canceled. That's because under sequestration, DoD would not zero out any specific budget line item, it is just being reduced by around 9 percent across the board.
What he does expect to see a lot of are contract renegotiations because of the reduced quantities of goods and services the Pentagon will be able to buy. And when quantities go down, prices generally go up.
"I'll give you a great example: the KC-46A refueling tanker. We had a contract we signed with Boeing, and a rate at which we would buy those tankers. It's been reported that Boeing bid very competitively to win that contract and that they're losing money on the early phases of the contract," Harrison said. "When we have to go and renegotiate that contract, do you really think we're in a good position to maintain such a good price, or is Boeing going to walk out of that contract and be in a position where they're no longer losing money? There are some areas where it really is going to be bad for DoD if they have to sequester these accounts."
Regardless of how bad sequestration will be, Harrison thinks it's more likely to happen this time around than it was during the New Year's Eve negotiations. That's because the deadline to undo sequestration 2.0 now coincides with other elements of the second fiscal cliff — a potential debt default and a government shutdown — that many policy experts argue would be even more devastating than sequestration.
"We could face all these crises within the space of about a month. That's unique in American history, and it's what I hope we can avoid," Harrison said.
But that avoidance is especially unlikely if congressional negotiators maintain their insistence that increases in the federal debt ceiling be matched dollar-for-dollar with spending reductions, he said.
"If you want to increase the debt ceiling enough to give the federal government a year of operating time, that would be about $1 trillion. If you want to completely offset sequestration with other deficit reduction, that's another $1 trillion. Putting those two things on the same timeline doubles the problem," Harrison said. "I'm not confident that Congress can come up with $2 trillion in deficit reduction by that deadline. Let's keep in mind that with the fiscal cliff, what they ended up passing reduced the deficit by less than $1 trillion, and look how hard that was. I think that both parties may end up looking at sequestration and say, 'You know what, this is bad, this is not what we want, but it's probably better than anything we could negotiate with the other side.'"

'Reliable' levels for summer
Mammoth's unique status as the area with the biggest snowpack in the Sierra this year may not be enough to stave off water restrictions.
The Mammoth area stands out with a snowpack that came in at about 82 percent of normal, compared to about 52 percent of normal for the Sierra overall, and lower than that in places like the Southern Sierra.
Since the winter of 2011-12 was also a drier than normal winter for Mammoth, the cumulative effects of two dry winters will soon begin to take a toll on ground water supplies, according to the Mammoth Community Water District.
At a special meeting held on April 22, the district's board of directors voted unanimously to keep in effect a resolution declaring a threat of a water shortage and Level 1 water restrictions, according to the district in a recent news release.
The resolution asks the public for a voluntary 10 percent reduction in water use.
Outdoor irrigation is the single biggest use of water in the summer, so small changes at that level can easily save 10 percent without sacrificing a green, healthy lawn, water district officials said (see box to learn how to conserve landscaping water).
In addition, according to district spokesperson Irene Yamashita, the district is not granting any variances that would allow residents and landscapers to add much more lawn, water during the day, or other possible variances.
"We are not allowing people to add new turf, or to re-seed except for up to five percent of existing lawn," she said.
"We saw some recharge of the aquifers this winter, but some are already showing a decline. It typically takes two years to recharge an aquifer and we have had two drier than normal years in a row.
"It is our policy to recharge the aquifers whenever possible, which is why we are asking for this 10 percent reduction in water use now."
She said the resolution was initially passed in April 2012 after measurements of the April 1 snowpack water content for that year showed the water supply was just 47 percent of normal.
The staff also told the board that the National Climate Prediction Center forecasts show above normal temperatures this spring and a drier than normal summer.
"We should encourage people to remain mindful of the state's water situation and support water conservation when and where ever possible," said the board's director, Tom Cage.
How to save water and still have a green lawn
Level 1 Restrictions means that the district is requesting that all customers voluntarily reduce their normal water use by 10 percent.
Here's how to do it:
After snow melts and lawn is exposed
Ongoing lawn maintenance:
nIndoor reductions of 10 percent can be met with small changes in how water is being used. For example, only run the dishwasher and clothes washer with full loads, refrain from using the toilet as a wastebasket, fix leaky faucets and toilet flappers (use food coloring drops to check for leaking toilets), and take advantage of the district's rebate programs for installing high-efficiency toilets, clothes washers, and showerheads.
