Comments on incident between White House and Republican leaders
On October 24, 2013, the White House issued a statement saying "we regret the misunderstanding" about Durbin's account of a meeting between House Republicans and President Barack Obama.[6]
"While the quote attributed to a Republican lawmaker in the House GOP meeting with the President is not accurate, there was a miscommunication when the White House read out that meeting to Senate Democrats, and we regret the misunderstanding," a White House official said in an email.[6]
Durbin posted on his Facebook wall addressing an incident that allegedly occurred during a White House meeting in which a Republican leader allegedly told Obama: "I cannot even stand to look at you."[6] The Obama administration refuted the account and the GOP called for an apology by Durbin.[6]
Legislative actions
113th Congress
The second session of the 113th Congress enacted into law 224 out of the 3215 introduced bills (7 percent). Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 4.2 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the second session.[7] The Senate confirmed 13,949 out of 18,323 executive nominations received (76.1 percent). For more information pertaining to Durbin's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[8]
National security
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Syria authorization
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
On September 4, 2013, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee narrowly approved an authorization for President Obama to use limited force against Syria. It was approved by a 10-7 vote.[9][10]
The vote came after a three-hour briefing with top Obama administration officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry and James Clapper, the director of national intelligence.[9]
Of the nine Democratic members and eight Republican members that made up the committee, seven Democrats and three Republicans voted in favor, while five Republicans and two Democrats opposed the authorization.[11] A single "present" vote was cast by Ed Markey (D). Durbin was one of the seven Democrats who approved the authorization.[12]
Transparency in NSA programs
Durbin announced on August 2, 2013, that the Senate Appropriations Committee had approved a measure that would require the NSA to make public declarations about its program.[13] Durbin, who is the assistant Senate majority leader and the chairman of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, said the measure was inserted into a Defense Department spending bill.[13] A spokesman for Durbin called it the first legislative action a congressional committee has approved since former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealed the agency's data collection program.[13]
Durbin's measure strikes a delicate balance between a growing call for curbs on the NSA program and a reluctance on the part of the Obama administration and congressional leaders to sharply limit it.[13] Unlike a narrowly defeated measure in the House that would have barred the NSA from spending any money on the program, effectively killing it, Durbin's proposal would allow it to continue but would require that the agency make public more information on the program, which the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court authorized under Section 215 of the Patriot Act.[13]
The measure would require the agency to report the number of phone records it's gathered and to make public the details of any other bulk data-collection programs it operates, including when they began, how much they cost and what types of records are being collected and to list any terrorist plots that the programs have thwarted.[13]
John Brennan CIA nomination
Durbin voted for the confirmation of John Brennan as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The nomination was confirmed by the Senate on March 7, 2013, with a vote of 63 - 34. Most Democrats supported the nomination, while Republicans were somewhat divided with roughly one-third supporting the nomination.[14]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
Discussing the possibility of a government shutdown, Durbin said on September 26, 2013,"If the House decides over the weekend come Friday, Saturday, whatever it is, that they're going to give us a new bill to consider in the Senate: That is a concession on their part that we are going to shut down the government. A clean CR is the only way to meet this deadline."[15]
No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013
Durbin voted for H.R.325 -- No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013. The bill passed the Senate on January 31, 2013, with a vote of 64 - 34. The purpose of the bill was to temporarily suspended the debt ceiling and withhold the pay of members of Congress until a budget could be passed. The vote largely followed party lines with Democrats overwhelmingly supporting it and many Republicans in opposition to the bill.[14]
2013 Senate Budget Proposal
Durbin voted in favor of the 2013 Senate Budget Proposal.[14] On March 23, after an all-night debate that ended just before 5 a.m., by a 50 to 49 vote the Democratically controlled Senate approved its first budget in four years. No Republicans voted for the Senate plan, and four Democrats opposed it. All four are from red states and are up for re-election in 2014.[8] Durbin was one of the four Democrats who voted against the budget proposal.[14]
The approved plan is a $3.7 trillion budget for 2014 and would provide a fast track for passage of tax increases, trim spending modestly and leave the government still deeply in the red for the next decade.
The approval of a budget in the Senate began the process of setting up contentious, and potentially fruitless, negotiations with the Republican-controlled House starting in April to reconcile two vastly different plans for dealing with the nation's economic and budgetary problems.
The House plan would have brought the government's taxes and spending into balance by 2023 with cuts to domestic spending even below the levels of automatic across-the-board cuts for federal programs now, and it orders up dramatic and controversial changes to Medicare and the tax code.
The Senate plan differed greatly, and included $100 billion in upfront infrastructure spending to bolster the economy and calls for special fast-track rules to overhaul the tax code and raise $975 billion over 10 years in legislation that could not be filibustered. Even with that tax increase and prescribed spending cuts, the plan approved by the Senate would leave the government with a $566 billion annual deficit in 10 years, and $5.2 trillion in additional debt over that window.
Gang of Eight
Durbin is a member of the group of senators deemed the "Gang of Eight." This term is used to reference eight of the most influential Senators on immigration reform and includes four senators from each party.[3] The group calls for comprehensive and bipartisan immigration legislation that includes their "four basic pillars":
- 1. A "tough but fair path to citizenship . . . .contingent upon securing our borders and tracking whether legal immigrants have left the country as required";
- 2. Reform our legal immigration system with a greater eye toward our economic needs;
- 3. Workplace verification; and
- 4. Setting up a system for admitting future workers (although the term "guest worker" is not used).[16]
Completion of fence along Mexico border
Durbin voted against Senate Amendment 1197 -- Requires the Completion of the Fence Along the United States-Mexico Border. The amendment was rejected by the Senate on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 39 - 54. The purpose of the amendment was to require the completion of 350 miles of fence described in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 before registered provisional immigrant status may be granted. It would also require 700 miles of fence be completed before the status of registered provisional immigrants may be changed to permanent resident status. The vote followed party lines.[14]
Social Issues
Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013
Durbin voted for S.47 -- Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The bill was passed by the Senate on February 12, 2013, with a vote of 78 - 22. The purpose of the bill was to combat violence against women, from domestic violence to international trafficking in persons. All 22 dissenting votes were cast by Republicans.[14]
Gun control
Following the September 16, 2013, shooting at the Washington D.C. Navy Yard, Durbin introduced the possibility of debate over gun control reform.[17] During a Senate floor speech, Durbin said that Americans agree that some "common sense" changes are needed to prevent mentally ill people from obtaining firearms.[17]
"Those sorts of things might have been warning signals," Durbin said. "Questions are raised: How can a man with that kind of a background end up getting the necessary security clearance for a military contractor to go into this Navy Yard, to be permitted to go into this Navy Yard? How did he get these weapons into the Navy Yard?"[17]
"If we value our right for ourselves and our families and our children to be safe, if we value this Constitution, if we value the right of American to enjoy their liberties with reasonable limitations, then we need to return to issues that are of importance," Durbin added later.[17]
Previous congressional sessions
Fiscal Cliff
Durbin voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. The bill was passed in the Senate by a 89 - 8 vote on January 1, 2013.[18]
Senate Judiciary Committee
Dick Durbin was first appointed to the Senate Judiciary Committee shortly after he was sworn in on January of 1997 and served until 1999.[19] Durbin was re-appointed to the committee in 2001 when the Democrats regained control of the Senate after the 2000 elections.[19] The Illinois Senator has been on the committee since then and has continued a long period of representation on the powerful committee for the State of Illinois.[19] Former Senator Paul Simon served on the committee from 1985 to 1997 before Dick Durbin became Senator. The other influential Illinois Senator to serve on the Senate Judiciary Committee was Everett Dirksen, who served on the committee from 1955 to 1969.[19]
Durbin serves as the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law. He also serves on the Senate Judiciary Subcommittees on Crime and Drugs, The Constitution, Immigration, Refugees and Border Security, Terrorism and Homeland Security.[20]
Durbin ran for re-election to the U.S. Senate in 2014.[21]
On November 4, 2008, Durbin won re-election to the United States Senate. He defeated Steve Sauerberg (R), Kathy Cummings (G), Larry A. Stafford (L), Chad N. Koppie (I) and Patricia Elaine Beard (I) in the general election.[22]

UNH faces tough questions over $20M 'investment' in sports complex
CONCORD — Gov. Maggie Hassan and top Republican lawmakers are questioning the University of New Hampshire's plan to use $20 million in cash reserves to fund a new $25 million athletic complex at the current Cowell football stadium.
But Senate President Charles Morse of Salem called that move "news to me" and Hassan questioned whether this is the best use of limited resources. Both questioned current tuition costs.
"We worked very hard last year to make in-state tuition affordable for Granite State students. I believe we were very clear in establishing that as a priority for the university system," Norelli said in a statement released by her office. "We look forward to an explanation about how this proposal fits into achieving that priority."
Tuition increase worries
In the fiscal 2014-2015 budget, the university system received $153 million. It also received $8 million for projects in the capital budget over the two years. As a result of the state increase, trustees voted in June to freeze tuition.
"To have reserves for a rainy day is one thing, but to have reserves for a football stadium is a different thing," he said.
Morse said every business should have reserves, "but for them to pledge it for this purpose, I think is a mistake."
"I'm sure they'd have real problems justifying that this would be a priority in the capital budget," he said.
Morse said he is "all for athletics and would be a big cheerleader to make sure they move forward."
Morse conceded that lawmakers have little control over the university's approach.
"I don't know their business model," said Morse. "And that's half the problem with the way government works in New Hampshire. With them being off separate, we don't play in that ballpark.
Chandler added, "It's kind of appalling to me that this is what they are doing in light of increased tuition costs and what it costs a kid in this state to go to the university system. People need to realize how much the football program really costs the state of New Hampshire."
750 students at games
UNH said it attracts about 750 students to Cowell Stadium, which seats about 6,500 but would grow to 10,000 under the new plan. UNH said a new stadium would attract more students to games and to the university as a whole.
Chandler said he does not believe a new stadium will attract more students to the university.
"It may bring more scholarship football players to the university, who get a free ride, at the expense of the kids of New Hampshire having to pay a higher tuition," he said.
"In hindsight, it was one of the biggest mistakes we ever made," he said. "I don't think we can go back."

Energize your household budget
The following tips are great ways to cut costs at home, while using the library.
1. "Subscribe" to the library. Have you cut out magazine subscriptions at home or stopped the paper? Come to your local library branch to read the current issues of your favorite magazines. Don't forget you can check-out back issues of almost all magazine subscriptions and take them home. Many people don't know that they can also access online periodical (magazine) databases on the library website. You can easily connect to thousands of full-text articles in your favorite magazines and newspapers. Take a look at our online magazine databases at http://webpac.lincolnlibraries.org:2048/login#per
2. "Watch" a movie from the library. Did you know the library has current DVDs and music CDs? Take a break from high rental rates and choose a DVD at one of our eight locations for a family movie night. We might even have the hard-to-find title your local video store can't get in for you. Can you really afford not to check-out a movie with no rental fee?
3. "Read" first then buy. Do you buy a lot of books? Think about checking books out and then buying those you can't do without. The library can find just about any title you can imagine. If we don't own it, we can most likely get it from another library in the United States or world. Inter-Library Loan is a great low-cost service for those whose need the hard-to-find titles.
4. "Access" our Internet and Wi-Fi. Each Lincoln City Libraries location has free Internet and Wi-Fi available. Make it a habit to enjoy our spaces and save at the same time. Don't be afraid to come in and enjoy our locations to escape the heat or find comfort away from the cold.
5. "Attend" free programs at the library. Your library offers comprehensive programming for both kids and adults. These high quality programs include music, computer classes, guest speakers, book groups, arts and crafts, movies, and more. Our summer reading programs for kids attracts thousands of attendees each year. And One Book One Lincoln programming has become one of the signature adult events each year.
6. "Save" gas and walk to one of the local branches near home. While there, research which cars are most economical, learn how to reduce your carbon footprint, and maximize household savings by learning how to reduce energy consumption and increase efficiency.
7. "Find" a new job or learn a new skill. When you're in, take a look at our résumé building books or job-hunting resources. Some of these resources can even be accessed from home as eBooks. You'll also be amazed at the variety of free classes the library offers throughout the year. It's never too late to add some new tricks to your bag. Energize your job search with tips from Lincoln City Libraries.

As in previous years, Jikes RVM will apply to Google Summer of Code for funding for student projects.
The GSoC 2013 timeline has been published. The first date of importance is: Organization application deadline on March 29 2013
Our current task is to collate a set of interesting project proposals and encourage students to apply for GSoC. We can re-use ideas from previous proposals, or come up with totally new ideas.
Hints for students
The application for mentoring organizations hasn't been opened yet. However, it's not too early to read the Google Summer of Code documentation. Students should read at least the GSoC FAQ and Google's advice for students. There's also a lot of helpful information about GSoC that's provided by mentoring organizations and previous GSoC students (use your favorite search engine to find it).
If the Jikes RVM project sounds like it could be a good fit for you, you can already start to get familiar with Jikes RVM. Checkout the source code and read the user guide. Build the Jikes RVM, run some tests and take a look at the codebase. You should have your development environment already set up before applying. Don't hesitate to ask on the mailing lists if you need help.
If/when we've been accepted as a mentoring organization, students can take a look at our guidelines on making an application. We expect that students get familiar with the Jikes RVM and the Jikes RVM community before applying.
What's in it for me?
All mentors get a smart Google t-shirt. The project gets some new contributors, and the students get substantial amounts of cash and experience in open source development.
The Jikes RVM project has seen substantial benefits from GSoC in previous years, including a new native threading model and additions to the core team of developers.
Adding new project suggestions
Please add your ideas to the wiki below, ideally using the template shown below. You can also contribute an idea if you don't have a wiki account: just describe it on on the researchers mailing list.
Project Title | foo |
RVM area | {compiler, classlib, MMTk, infrastructure...} |
outline | paragraph description of project idea |
references | links to related projects, academic papers, etc |
needed skills | skills that the student should have and/or needs to acquire during the project |
difficulty | a difficulty estimate for the project, e.g. easy, medium, difficult |
interested mentor | your name and a contact link or "TBD" if you can't mentor |
Project suggestions (aka idea list)
Project Title | Implement the Java Management extensions (JMX) API |
RVM area | classlib, MMTk, threading, compiler |
outline | The Java Management Extensions provide a way to monitor and manage Java Virtual machines. The Jikes RVM can collect significantly more profiling data and runtime statistics than an average JVM as a result of it being focussed on research activities. These statistics would ideally be exported using JMX and could potentially provide a standard mechanism for monitoring the performance and health of the virtual machine and its components. As a first step, students should focus on laying groundwork for a suitable implementation of the API:
After that has happened, students should implement the optional parts of the API and Jikes RVM-specific features. The exact set of features will need to be discussed with the community at the appropriate time. |
references | Blog post about JMX with links to further documentation Web view of the JMX branch in the historic svn repository (use "svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/jikesrvm/svn/rvmroot/branches/RVM-127-JMX" to checkout the code) |
needed skills | Java |
difficulty | easy |
interested mentor | TBD |
Project Title | Implement the JVM Tool Interface (JVMTI) |
RVM area | threading, JNI |
outline | The JVM Tool interface is part of the Java Platform Debugger Architecture that JVMs can implement to provide debugging capabilities. We would like to have a full JMVTI implementation to allow debugging of Java applications that are running on Jikes RVM. Another benefit of JVMTI is that it allows low-level access to JVM internals. This can be used for instrumenting and monitoring the Jikes RVM using low-level code. There is already a partial JMVTI implementation that was written by James Bornholt for GSoC 2011. His implementation should be used as a basis for this project. |
references | |
needed skills | C, C++, Java, willingness to deal with low-level details |
difficulty | medium |
interested mentor | TBD |
Project Title | Improve (or rethink) CatTrack |
RVM area | infrastructure |
outline | The Jikes RVM project currently uses the Ruby-on-Rails application CatTrack to track test results. CatTrack is also responsible for sending regression mails. This project would consist of upgrading CatTrack to use a more recent version of Ruby-on-Rails instead of the ancient Ruby-on-Rails 1.2.6. Potential candidates must have experience in Ruby-on-Rails to be able to take on this project: we don't have the necessary expertise to provide adequate mentoring to RoR beginners. The exact version numbers and the upgrade process need to be coordinated with our contacts at the Australian National University (where the servers are located). New features can be added to CatTrack after the upgrade is complete. An alternative approach would be to get rid of CatTrack completely and move to a more general open-source solution. Note that this would be a much more disruptive change. A student proposal that suggests this approach must be very convincing to be considered. Another constraint for proposals of this kind is that we want to avoid using yet another language in our build infrastructure (see RVM-85 ). It might be acceptable to replace Ruby with another language but this must be discussed before such a proposal is submitted. The X10 language project also uses CatTrack for their regression mails. Candidates should be prepared to coordinate with somebody from the X10 team to ensure that an upgraded version of CatTrack (or a replacement) is also a viable solution for them. |
references | Web view of the CatTrack repository |
needed skills | prior Ruby-on-Rails experience, XML, basic knowledge about databases |
difficulty | difficult |
interested mentor | TBD |
Project Title | Improve testing situation for JIkes RVM |
RVM area | infrastructure, (additional subsystems as chosen by the student) |
outline | An infrastructure for unit tests and some initial unit tests were added to the Jikes RVM in GSoC 2012 by João Reys Santos. However, there is still a lot of work to do before we can consider the codebase to be reasonably well tested. We need more unit tests as well as more black-box tests. Students should pick an area of interest (e.g. compilers, JNI, MMTk, classloading, threading, ...) and/or motivating use cases (e.g. get benchmark X or application Y running on Jikes RVM), identify and fix the corresponding problems and introduce adequate (unit) tests. Note that extra effort will be required if students want to use mocking. Mockito does not work with GNU Classpath-based JVMs and our OpenJDK-port is not yet ready. |
references | book: Michael Feathers, Working effectively with legacy code, Pearson Education, 2004 book: Andreas Zeller, Why programs fail: A guide to systematic debugging, Morgan Kaufmann, 2009 |
needed skills | Java, Ant, debugging without a debugger |
difficulty | easy to difficult (depends on the chosen tasks and areas) |
interested mentor | TBD |
Project Title | Bytecode verifier |
RVM area | classloading, compilers |
outline | Jikes RVM currently does not implement a bytecode verifier. We would like to have a bytecode verifier that can verify classfiles at least up until Java 6 (we don't support Java 7 yet). The verifier needs to work with the baseline compiler as well as the optimizing compiler. Ideally, it should be possible to use the verifier from the command line without actually running the bytecode that is supposed to be checked. This could be done in a similar way to the OptTestHarness which enables users to control the compilers. The verifier should be designed to support custom verification constraints. Some examples for possible constraints are listed in the JIRA issue linked below. |
references | JIRA issue for the bytecode verifier Jasmin assembler (useful for creating test cases that trigger verifier errors) |
needed skills | Java, reading papers and specifications, implementing algorithms from specifications and papers |
difficulty | medium |
interested mentor | TBD |
Project Title | GCspy |
RVM area | MMTk |
outline | The GCspy framework for garbage collector visualization has become out-of-date and needs improving [RVM-388]. GCSpy 2.0 should update the framework to work properly with the latest version of Jikes RVM. In particular, it should support discontiguous spaces and provide drivers for more of MMTk's GC algorithms. In addition, the rewrite might improve modularity, and possibly integrate with the Eclipse Rich Client Platform. |
references | |
needed skills | Java, C++, willingness to deal with low-level details, some understanding of garbage collection |
difficulty | fairly straightforward |
interested mentor | Richard Jones |
Project Title | Implement the Compressor garbage collector |
RVM area | MMTk |
outline | A Stop-The-World variant of the Compressor garbage collector was implemented for Jikes RVM in GSoC 2010 by Michael Gendelman. The goal of this project is to improve the stability of Michael Gendelman's implementation so that it can be merged to mainline. Performance tuning may also be needed. Students that are interested in this project should be familiar with garbage collection and MMTk. Hint for very ambitious students: You can work on more complex variants of the Compressor (e.g. a concurrent version) once the the Stop-The-World variant has been merged and the project has determined that its quality is suitable. |
references | paper: Haim Kermanya and Erez Petrank, The Compressor: concurrent, incremental, and parallel compaction (ACM link) JIRA issue for the compressor (includes a link to the paper) Michael Gendelman's work on the Compressor (includes a design document on the wiki) |
needed skills | Java, willingness to deal with low-level details, familiarity with garbage collection |
difficulty | difficult |
interested mentor | TBD |
Project Title | Port Jikes RVM compilers to ARM |
RVM area | compilers |
outline | Jikes RVM currently supports 32-bit Intel, and 32- and 64-bit Power PC architectures. This project involves porting Jikes RVM (initially the baseline compiler) to the 32-bit ARM architecture. Ambitious students could consider the optimizing compiler too, as a second step. Lots of preparatory work has been done in this area. I had an undergraduate student project at Glasgow University this year. He has done excellent refactoring work and we should be able to build on this to get a fully functional baseline compiler. |
references | When my student's project is marked, I will put a PDF document up here. In the mean time, here is an out of date thesis about an earlier porting effort to ARM. |
needed skills | Java, willingness to deal with low-level details, familiarity with ARM instruction set |
difficulty | moderate to difficult |
interested mentor | Jeremy Singer, also support available from colleagues at ARM directly. Please get in touch to discuss details! |
Project Title | Reengineer Command Line Flag parsing in Jikes RVM |
RVM area | infrastructure |
outline | Jikes RVM has lots of command-line flags, as you can see from the command line help. Researchers add new flags all the time, when they are working on experimental features. The current techniques for adding new flags, parsing flags, etc is quite complex. This project is about refactoring the code to make command line flag handling more straightforward. Possibilities (negotiable) include autocomplete for flags, suggestions for unrecognised flags, etc. |
references | Maybe look at Google commandline flags library, and at bash completion for some ideas. |
needed skills | Java |
difficulty | easy to moderate |
interested mentor | Jeremy Singer Please get in touch to discuss details! |

Crew won't have it easy against Zimmermann
Nats have 11-game winner in opener, with Harper set to rejoin lineup
Nobody is feeling sorry for the Brewers. With several injuries to the middle of Milwaukee's lineup, opponents continued to throw big arms against them in late June.
Milwaukee faced Cubs ace Matt Garza (3-1, 3.83 ERA) on Thursday before a three-game set in Pittsburgh against Gerrit Cole (4-0, 3.70), Francisco Liriano (7-3, 2.23) and Charlie Morton (1-1, 2.50) on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
The first two games to start July at Nationals Park this week are no exception. Washington will send Jordan Zimmermann to the mound Monday, followed by Stephen Strasburg on Tuesday.
Zimmermann -- an Auburndale, Wis., native -- is tied for second in the Majors with 11 wins against three losses, and his 2.28 ERA is good for seventh in all of baseball.
Are the Brewers in a tougher-than-usual stretch of opponents?
"We are," manager Ron Roenicke said. "No question. And that's why I say when we pitch well and we're in tight games and have chances to score runs, we need to produce and get those runs in. Or we're going to keep doing what we're doing, which is losing a lot of games."
The Brewers started June 11-9 but dropped six of their last seven to end the month. They will send right-hander Yovani Gallardo to oppose Zimmermann.
Gallardo will face a Nationals lineup with Bryce Harper back in it. On Monday, Harper will be activated from the disabled list and is expected to be back in the middle of the order.
Harper has not been in Washington's lineup since May 26 and was placed on the disabled list June 1 with a left knee injury. The Nationals went 15-16 in the left fielder's absence. Harper completed a rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg on Saturday.
"I really think I can help the team," Harper said. "We're doing a great job right now. It's a little rough, but we're doing a great job up there. ... I can't wait to get back up there with the boys and get going and hopefully take a run at that first place."
Nationals: Detwiler could make Wednesday start
Left-handed pitcher Ross Detwiler told manager Davey Johnson that the back issues he complained about after his Friday start are better, and he could make his Wednesday start against the Brewers.
The final test will come Monday, when Detwiler throws a bullpen session at Nationals Park.
• Dan Haren threw a bullpen session Sunday and didn't have any complaints about his shoulder, which landed him on the disabled list last week. He is expected to throw a simulated game this week.
Brewers: Gallardo aims to get back on track
Gallardo has been up and down this season, and he looked like the Brewers ace of old in a three-start stretch from June 10-20, not allowing an earned run in 21 innings against the Marlins, Reds and Astros.
But the right-hander took a step back against the Cubs on Wednesday, giving up eight hits and five runs -- three earned -- in four innings. Gallardo will look to regain his stride against a Nationals team he has gone 3-2 against in his career with a 4.89 ERA.
• Francisco Rodriguez has pitched his way back into Milwaukee's closer role, a move that Roenicke says is not to showcase K-Rod before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline.
Rodriguez -- who signed a one-year Minor League deal with Milwaukee in April and was called up to the Majors in May -- has been lights-out in 18 appearances this season, with a 1.02 ERA in 17 2/3 innings. He did allow a run in 1 1/3 innings in Milwaukee's 14-inning loss to the Pirates on Sunday, but he is 6-for-6 in save opportunities while flip-flopping roles with Jim Henderson. He also picked up his 300th career save June 22.
Rodriguez could be an attractive chip for the Brewers to trade, though Roenicke said that had nothing to do with the latest switch.
"None -- not for me anyway," Roenicke said. "Not until I meet with Doug [Melvin, the GM] and he tells me something different."

By: John Persinos
Applying stem cells to regenerate healthy human tissue has been the dream of scientists for more than a century. Osiris Therapeutics (OSIR), based in Columbia, Maryland, is not only succeeding in this goal but it's the first company to commercialize the process.
Osiris develops and brings to market compound drugs that incorporate stem cells. The company focuses on "living skin equivalents" and therapies for diseases that have historically resisted all other types of treatment. Osiris takes its name from the ancient Egyptian god of the Afterlife, which is appropriate for a company that gives once hopeless patients new leases on life.
A stem cell is one of the body's unspecialized master cells, with the ability to grow into other specific cell types. Stem cell therapy applications are wide, from treating chronic wounds and burns to bone tissue repair and providing living skin grafts.
Chronic wounds that fail to heal, such as diabetic foot ulcers, are resistant to conventional drugs and typically result in severe infection, amputation or even death. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), chronic wounds in the US alone affect 6.5 million patients.
NIH estimates that more than $25 billion is spent annually on the treatment of chronic wounds and the problem is growing because of an aging population and a sharp rise in the incidence of diabetes and obesity.
Biological Legos
Osiris uses adult "mesenchymal" stem cells, which are especially resourceful for chronic wound treatment and creating living skin.
This category of stem cell is akin to biological Legos, with the flexibility to differentiate into a particularly broad range of functioning cells. Since it was founded in 1992, Osiris has treated more patients with mesenchymal stem cells than the entire stem cell industry combined.
Most stem cell companies are enmeshed in laboratory-based research and clinical trials, with the development of a product still years away, if at all. However, Osiris already is bringing mesenchymal stem cell products to market.
In May, Osiris announced that it had received authorization from Health Canada, that country's equivalent of the US Food and Drug Administration, to sell its new stem cell therapy Prochymal for the treatment of acute graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) in children. Prochymal is an intravenous formulation of mesenchymal stem cells.
The watershed decision marks the world's first regulatory approval of a stem cell treatment for GvHD, a complication of bone marrow transplantation that kills up to 80 percent of children affected, often within weeks of diagnosis. Prochymal has the potential to be a blockbuster; Osiris could then use that revenue to develop its other products in the pipeline.
Osiris' other clinical development efforts for mesenchymal stem cells include treatments for Crohn's disease, Type I diabetes and cardiac complications.
Science Fact
Osiris produces another potential blockbuster called Grafix, a living skin equivalent that's the stuff of science fiction. Doctors can peel it off a roll, as if it were Scotch tape, and put it to immediate use on the human body.
Grafix is a membrane, comprised of mesenchymal stem cells, growth factors and living skin cells, all of which work in concert for tissue repair in chronic wounds, limb salvage procedures, and the repair of tendons and burns.
As with Prochymal, there's no competitor to Grafix. At least 20 percent of all chronic wounds don't respond to existing therapies, providing a huge untapped market for the treatment.
Grafix also is effective in salvaging patients with severe burns. The product represents an entirely new paradigm in skin repair and could find a wide range of military uses.
In a major win for the company, the US Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced in May that Grafix had been granted codes to facilitate reimbursement under Medicare's outpatient payment system.
Also in May, Osiris announced results for the first quarter of 2012, ending March 31. Revenue from biosurgery products, the company's main division that makes stem cell treatments, rose 49 percent from the previous quarter to $1.1 million.
Total revenues were $4.6 million, including license fees from the company's various partnerships with other biotech firms, down from $10.4 million from the same period a year ago. Net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $1.3 million, compared to net income of $4 million in the first quarter of 2011.
Future Lifeblood
License fee revenue tends to fluctuate, but biosurgery product revenue is the company's future lifeblood and it's growing quickly. Also in the first quarter, the company won four new patents issued in the US and Canada covering the use of mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of GvHD and cardiac disorders. The company finished the quarter with strong cash, receivables and short-term investments of $44.2 million.
Osiris has enough cash to cover operating expenses over a long period of time, to ensure survival during the often-protracted clinical trials process. Osiris boasts a market cap of $206.3 million, an operating profit margin of nearly 27 percent and a return on assets of 15.8 percent—more than enough to weather any storm.
As a flood of patent expirations continue to shake up the drug industry, the future growth stocks will be those with the strongest drug development pipelines and the most innovative treatments. Osiris is suitable for aggressive investors looking for a pure play in stem cell therapies.

I just switched it all back on and it all just started straight away, i was quite surprised really as windoze

I ran glxgears and went from just under 6000 to 17000

Brilliant Dean... I knew it would not take long for you to implement the ntfs... Well done... What a step in the right direction... Massive Respect to you :-)
Brilliant work as always Dean! Thanks for supporting the scene.
What does the new Device Icon do?
Last edited by severusx; 02-25-2011 at 06:13 PM Reason: Automerged Doublepost
thanks ^^, really awesome work!
Sorry guys but the file USB.cfg, where he copy ?
'Only copy from NTFS' - without calling me stupid, does this preclude playing backups? Regardless, Dean, thanks as always. You don't have to do what you do.
Hypothetically, I do not understand the worry of adding file system support to homebrew. FAT32 is just as accessible as any other.
Anyway, off to updating my Multiman.
Tried emailing you but i'm getting a delivery failure Any chance you could forward it to me please?
That's because the ntfs library only allow to read from, not to write to the disk. But reading is all you need to play backups. To copy them you have your PC.
Thank you! Multiman is the best.
Fan freakin-tastic. I get sick for 2 weeks and come back to find NTFS support and even more improvements than I can thank you for in a single post Super-man deanrr did it again.
If pigs start flying I will have to see a doctor because I still can't believe NTFS support!! Many said it wouldn't happen and now it did!! Am I the only one seeing this?
sorry for the stupid question but why can MultiMan play not 1:1 ISO files?

Carcarrier for rooftop. I got the one they had on hand because I needed it right then , they installed it in a timely manner and they were excellent. From the cashier to the guys that installed it.
via sears.com
This belt was exactly what it is. It was the correct belt. I just put it in so as far as how long it will last or anything like that I have no idea. It went on and seems to work good. It was really expensive I thought. There really were not any options available. I will probably buy this again hopefully not real soon though. I put it in a poullon lawn mower.

This belt tends to break, and stretch easily. We go through at least 4 per season. I think the price is to high. each year it lasts less time and costs more. But we gotta have it!

I own a Craftsman Riding Mower that I have used for the last 6 years on my 2.4 acres located in the Cascade Foot Hills. The property is rustic and the lawn mowers chore is tough one. Last year I purchased a discount mower drive belt and this year I had to purchase another; my replacement belt is a genuine Craftsman and instantly I recognized an improvement in mower's performance. The original belt lasted several years, the discount belt (about 7 dollars cheaper) lasted one year and slipped the whole time. No brainier, I wasted my money buying something other then a genuine craftsman replacement part.

I want to thank the Sears Service department for forcing me to figure out how to install this belt on my riding mower. I called the service department number that I received from the lawn and garden department. This occured on Friday, September 30th 2011. Since I am physically disabled, I was more than willing to pay the $99 fee to have a technician come out and look at my mower to fix the problem. However, when the person on the other end of the line informed me that the earliest the technician would be able to come out would be October 31, 2011, I decided that even I could repair the mower before Sears would be able to come out to look at it. I had no idea that October was such a busy month for lawn mower repairs. I think by the end of October, the odds of needing my snowblower will be greater than needing my lawn mower. Either way, I had the belt installed within 3.5 hours and saved the $99 fee. Thanks Sears Service !

I am not sure if it is the belt or the mower, however, I have to replace this drive belt almost every year. At first I thought it had to be something wrong on my mower, but then I found that a couple of other customers are having the same problem. I would love to see a high quality belt offered that will last a few years.

Pastor's Column: In praise of Martha
One of my favorite stories from the New Testament is the story of Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42). The story of Martha and Mary's encounter with Jesus poses wonderful questions for us. Was Jesus criticizing Martha for being too elaborate in the meal preparation; for being "distracted by many things," when a simple meal would be better? Was Martha stuck in the traditional woman's role of food preparation and Mary discerned, from meeting Jesus, that in the kingdom of God, women could join men at the "Master's feet"—is that the better part that Mary chose?It is a favorite because it challenges me, since I tend to be like Martha, a doer and worker. So it is a good reminder for me that I also need to be like Mary—to take time for devotion and contemplative prayer. It is a story that can help keep us Martha-types more centered in the Word and in prayer. But sometimes Martha gets a bad rap — the story does not say that hospitality and service are not important too.The Desert Fathers and Mothers of the fourth Century AD were Christians who fled to the Deserts of Egypt and Palestine to escape what they considered the shipwreck of the Christian faith, when it became the state religion of Rome.Some of these pious hermits lived alone in caves for forty years devoted to prayer and solitude, seeking "the better part" like Mary. Yet from the collected writings of these ardent disciples comes this tale: "A certain brother came to Abbot Silvanus at Mount Sinai, and seeing the hermits at work he exclaimed: Why do you work for the bread that perishes? Mary has chosen the best part, namely to sit at the feet of the Lord without working. Then the Abbot said to his disciple Zachary: Give that bother a book and let him read.At the ninth hour the brother who was reading began to look out to see if the Abbot was not going to call him to dinner, and sometime after the ninth hour he went himself to the Abbot and said: Did the brethren not eat today?Oh yes, certainly, said the Abbot, they just had dinner. Well, said the brother, why didn't you call me? You are a spiritual man, said the elder, you don't need the food that perishes. We have to work, but you have chosen the best part. You read all day and you can get along without food.Hearing this the brother said: Forgive me Father. And the Elder said: Martha was necessary to Mary, for it was because Martha worked that Mary was able to be praised.
