Maybe Unity would be faster if they cut some bloat such as that adware and spyware?
Phoronix: Ubuntu Sees Need To Improve Unity's Performance
As part of the push to make Ubuntu a competitive gaming platform, developers at Canonical and within the Ubuntu community will be working to improve the Unity desktop and Compiz window manager performance for Ubuntu 13.04...
Maybe Unity would be faster if they cut some bloat such as that adware and spyware?
Sure it would be better if it was opt-in rather than opt-out, but I feel this statement is very hyperbolic. Also the shopping lens runs on a seperate thread and does not slow down the other dash results.
Something I'd like to see in future releases of ubuntu is a control panel for lenses, where you could easily enable/disable each lens and/or enable/disable the ability for each lens to go online (instead of the current online killswitch we have that just disables all online lenses). I recall seeing some mockups for this on the ubuntu mailing lists, so maybe we will see something like that in the future.
My understanding was that the bug with Intel and Nouveau was the reasons this was not enabled by default in earlier releases.enabling Compiz unredirected rendering on full-screen windows by default. However, the unredirected full-screen window rendering by default will not happen automatically for Nouveau and Intel drivers due to bugs.
Compiz is really the least stable component on my system. I would love for Canonical to improve it's performance and stability or just plain replace it!
This to me is one of Canonical's biggest issues, especially if they are targeting mobile devices. It seems to me you need at least a semi-decent computer to run Unity anywhere near satisfactorily.
They need to focus heavily on optimization and try getting Unity/Compiz to run smooth and consistently like the Elementary guys have done with Pantheon/Gala.
Maybe next they'll realize the workflow is distracting.
Windows 7 wasn't as bad but I had a hard time returning to familiar ground:
Gnome 3 is just as distracting and let's face it that all these new interfaces are confused.
What exactly is the workflow new user interfaces are trying to capture?
I'm to the point now all I want is Nautilus 2.28, Awn tasker and decent drivers. Is that too much to ask for from opensource?
I can't even buy that from Microsoft anymore. Windows 8 confuses Confucius.
It took me the better part of 2 minutes to figure out how to get to the start button on Windows 8 at the local store.
2012, the end of the World Wide Web, Desktop, and Laptop.

When talking about the Urban Dictionary ratings system, the opposite of the thumbs up. Where a thumbs up denotes a good definition and thumbs down denotes a bad one. There aren't many definitions out there whcih don't have at least one thumbs down. Whether or not people actually like a definition, they will give it a thumbs down, because they hate everybody, the world is unfair to them and they like to cut themselves.
Only assholes give definitions the thumbs down, unless it really sucks.

Mine official gets nearly 2 years in W.Va. blast
Thursday - 1/17/2013, 11:33am EST
By JOHN RABY
Associated Press
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A former superintendent at a West Virginia mine where 29 miners died in a 2010 explosion has been sentenced to nearly two years in prison on a federal conspiracy charge.
Gary May received the sentence of 21 months and a $20,000 fine Thursday in federal court in Beckley. May has cooperated with prosecutors in their continuing criminal investigation of the explosion at the Upper Big Branch mine.
He admitted to charges that he defrauded the government through actions such as disabling a methane gas monitor and falsifying records.
A plea hearing is set next month for former longtime Massey Energy executive David Hughart, who's accused of two federal conspiracy charges. Hughart's cooperation has been viewed as a sign that authorities may be gathering evidence to target officials further up the Massey hierarchy.

It's not quite eight in the morning, and Barack Obama is on the phone screaming at me. He liked the story I wrote about him a couple weeks ago, but not this garbage.
Months earlier, a reporter friend told me she overheard Obama call me an asshole at a political fund-raiser. Now here he is blasting me from hundreds of miles away for a story that just went online but hasn't yet hit local newsstands.
It's the first time I've ever heard him yell, and I'm trembling as I set down the phone. I sit frozen at my desk for several minutes, stunned.
This is before Obama Girl, before the Secret Service detail, before he becomes a best-selling author. His book, Dreams From My Father, has been out of print for years.
I often see Obama smoking cigarettes on brisk Chicago mornings in front of his condominium high-rise along Lake Michigan, or getting his hair buzzed at the corner barbershop on 53rd and Harper in his Hyde Park neighborhood.
This is before he becomes a U.S. senator, before Oprah starts stumping for him, before he positions himself to become the country's first black president.
He is just a rank-and-file state senator in Illinois, and I work for a string of small, scrappy newspapers there.
The other day, while stuck in traffic on Houston's Southwest Freeway, I was flipping through right-wing rants on AM radio. Dennis Praeger was railing against Michelle Obama for her clumsy comment on being proud of her country for the first time.
Praeger went on to call her husband a blank slate. There's no record to look at, he complained, unless you lived in Barack Obama's old state Senate district.
Well, I lived and worked in that district for three years—nearly half Obama's tenure in the Illinois Legislature. D-13, the district was called, and it spanned a large swath of Chicago's poor, black, crime-ridden South Side.
It was 2000, and I was a young reporter at the Hyde Park Herald and Lakefront Outlook community newspapers earning $19,000 a year covering politics and crime.
I talked with Obama on a regular basis—a couple times a month, at least. I'd ask him about his campaign finance reports, legislation he was sponsoring and various local issues. He wrote an occasional column published in our papers. It ran with a headshot that made him look about 14 years old.
Spinning through my old Rolodex, I see that I had two cell phone numbers for Obama. Both have since been disconnected.
I also had cell phone numbers for Jesse Jackson; his son, Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.; and David Axelrod, who now serves as Obama's senior presidential campaign advisor.
Axelrod, too, had begun his journalism career at the Hyde Park Herald before joining the Chicago Tribune as a political reporter, then starting a political consulting firm. Another Hyde Park Herald alum was Seymour Hersh, the legendary investigative reporter who uncovered the My Lai massacre for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the Abu Ghraib prisoner-abuse scandal for The New Yorker.
My view of Obama then wasn't all that different from the image he projects now. He was smart, confident, charismatic and liberal. One thing I can say is, I never heard him launch into the preacher-man voice he now employs during speeches. He sounded vanilla, and activists in his mostly black district often chided him for it.
I was 25 and had no problem interviewing big-wig politicians, but I always had to steel my nerves when calling Obama. His intelligence was intimidating, and my hands inevitably shook and sweated.
It was serendipity that I ever came to know Obama at all. Looking back, I think of it as a Forrest Gump moment: History was unfolding, and I was at the center of it, clueless. It's a huge bummer to me that I never taped our interviews.
I moved to Chicago from the East Coast after a bad breakup. I had just one year of newspaper experience, working the courts beat for a small Vermont daily.
I picked Chicago because I had friends there. Plus, it was one of the few American cities left with two competing dailies, upping my chances of landing a gig.
I arrived determined to work for one of the big papers. I once spent an entire day dressed up in my only suit and tie—the one I wore to my brother's wedding, where I ripped a hole in the knee while dancing with my niece—and stood, résumé in hand, outside the newsroom at the dumpy old Chicago Sun-Times building.
Columnist Neil Steinberg was gracious enough to accept my folder and even gave me his home number to call later that night. Unimpressed by my clips, Steinberg said most new recruits graduated from top journalism schools such as Northwestern or Columbia—or their mommies or daddies worked at the paper or knew somebody who did.
His advice: To work in Chicago, you have to leave Chicago. Go prove yourself someplace else, kid.
I had a friend at one of the local journalism schools who let me tag along for a school-sponsored tour of the Chicago Tribune building. After the tour, page-two columnist John Kass told us about how he got picked up by the Tribune while in his early 20s after breaking a big story at a little South Side paper.

Hi: 11° Lo:4°
THE CARE firm at the centre of a media storm over treatment of its vulnerable patients has 'welcomed the finalisation of the legal process' which resulted in the jailing of six carers at its Winterbourne View care home in Bristol.
Castlebeck, which was also forced to close its Arden Vale care home in Meriden because of serious failings uncovered by a BBC Panorama investigation, expressed their unequivocal and unreserved regret to the service users involved and their families following the 'wholly unacceptable and criminal behaviour witnessed at Winterbourne View'.
That behaviour has seen six of the carers from Winterbourne jailed and five others given suspended sentences.
Winterbourne was closed in June 2011 after an investigation by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
And Castlebeck Care (Teesdale) Ltd, the firm which runs a range of care homes for adults with learning disabilities and mental health problems, was also forced to close two other of its homes - including Arden Vale care home in Meriden because of failing standards uncovered by the CQC.
As part of the inquiry the CQC investigated all of Castlebeck's 24 care homes in England and Scotland.
These investigations - which included unannounced visits, uncovered 'serious concerns about the care provided at Arden Vale' and improvements were demanded.
Inspectors had major concerns with 12 of the 16 essential standards of care at the home - in particular the inappropriate use of restraint, unsafe use and management of medicines, human rights not being respected and patients not always being adequately safeguarded from physical and emotional harm.
When these concerns were not addressed the CQC took action to protect the residents and closed the care home in September last year.
The 11 defendants from Winterbourne – nine support workers and two nurses – admitted 38 charges of either neglect or ill-treatment of five people with severe learning difficulties after being secretly recorded by a reporter for the BBC's Panorama programme.
They were filmed slapping extremely vulnerable residents, soaking them in water, trapping them under chairs, taunting and swearing at them, pulling their hair and poking their eyes.
Whistleblower Terry Bryan, a former nurse at the home, contacted the BBC after his warnings were ignored by Castlebeck Ltd, which owned the hospital, and care watchdogs.
In a statement released after the sentences were passed, Castlebeck said: "The incoming new Board and management have and will continue to reform the business to prevent this ever happening again.
"The range of improvements and changes at Castlebeck are highlighted in the progress reports published on our website: http://www.castlebeck.com/family-andcarers/safety/where-we-are-now/ and are part of an on-going and widespread development programme to ensure we provide safe, high quality, person centred care."

Moral Character, Motive, and the Psychology of BlameJanice NadlerNorthwestern University School of Law; American Bar Foundation Mary-Hunter McDonnellGeorgetown University - McDonough School of Business April 18, 2011 Cornell Law Review, Vol. 97, 2012 Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 11-43 Abstract: Blameworthiness, in the criminal law context, is conceived as the carefully calculated end product of discrete judgments about a transgressor's intentionality, causal proximity to harm, and the harm's foreseeability. Research in social psychology, on the other hand, suggests that blaming is often intuitive and automatic, driven by a natural impulsive desire to express and defend social values and expectations. The motivational processes that underlie psychological blame suggest that judgments of legal blame are influenced by factors the law does not always explicitly recognize or encourage. In this Article we focus on two highly related motivational processes – the desire to blame bad people and the desire to blame people whose motive for acting was bad. We report three original experiments that suggest that an actor's bad motive and bad moral character can increase not only perceived blame and responsibility, but also perceived causal influence and intentionality. We show that people are motivated to think of an action as blameworthy, causal, and intentional when they are confronted with a person who they think has a bad character, even when the character information is totally unrelated to the action under scrutiny. We discuss implications for doctrines of mens rea definitions, felony murder, inchoate crimes, rules of evidence, and proximate cause.

Every year, your family probably faces its share of colds, sore throats, and viruses. When you bring your child to the doctor for these illnesses, do you automatically expect a prescription for antibiotics?
Many parents do. And they're surprised, maybe even angry, if they leave the doctor's office empty-handed — after all, what parent doesn't want their kid to get well as quickly as possible? But your doctor could be doing you and your child a favor by not reaching for the prescription pad.
Antibiotics, first used in the 1940s, are certainly one of the great advances in medicine. But overprescribing them has resulted in the development of resistant bacteria, which are bacteria that don't respond to antibiotics that may have worked in the past. Plus, whenever kids take antibiotics they run the risk of side-effects, such as stomach upset and diarrhea or even a possible allergic reaction.
To understand how antibiotics work, it helps to know about the two major types of germs that can make people sick: bacteria and viruses. Although certain bacteria and viruses cause diseases with similar symptoms, the ways these two organisms multiply and spread illness are different:
Taking antibiotics for colds and other viral illnesses not only won't work, but also has a dangerous side effect: over time, this practice helps create bacteria that have become more of a challenge to kill.
Frequent and inappropriate use of antibiotics can cause bacteria or other microbes to resist the effects of antibiotic treatment. This is called bacterial resistance or antibiotic resistance. Treating these resistant bacteria requires higher doses of medicine or stronger antibiotics. Because of antibiotic overuse, certain bacteria have become resistant to some of the most powerful antibiotics available today.
Antibiotic resistance is a widespread problem, and one that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) calls "one of the world's most pressing public health problems." Bacteria that were once highly responsive to antibiotics have become increasingly resistant. Among those that are becoming harder to treat are pneumococcal infections (which cause pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, and meningitis), skin infections, and tuberculosis.
So what should you do when your child gets sick? To minimize the risk of bacterial resistance, keep these tips in mind:
If your child is prescribed antibiotics be sure to:
Ask your doctor about ways to treat the symptoms that are making your child uncomfortable, such as a stuffy nose or scratchy throat, without the use of antibiotics. The key to building a good relationship with your doctor is open communication, so work together toward that goal.
Use the medication properly. Antibiotics are only effective against a bacterial infection if taken for the full amount of time prescribed by the doctor — and they take time to kick in, too, so don't expect your child to feel better after taking the first dose. Most kids take 1 to 2 days to feel a lot better. Similarly, don't let your child take antibiotics longer than prescribed.
And most important, never use antibiotics that have been lying around your home. Never take antibiotics that were prescribed for another family member or adult, either — doses for kids vary, and if your child did have an illness requiring antibiotics, you'd want to make sure you were treating it correctly.
Saving antibiotics "for the next time" is a bad idea, too. Any remaining antibiotic should be thrown out as soon as your child has taken the full course of medication.
Help fight antibiotic resistance by taking simple steps to prevent the spread of infections. Encourage hand washing, make sure your kids are up to date on immunizations, and keep kids out of school when they're sick.
Doctors are aware of increasing antibiotic resistance and are trying to solve the problem. New antibiotics might be on the horizon, but antibiotics will continue to need to be prescribed and used appropriately.

Reps. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., left, and Darrell Issa, R-Calif., work on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. / J. Scott Applewhite, AP
WASHINGTON - Low-level IRS employees will be called to testify before a congressional committee this week, even as Democrats move to challenge the very basis of the investigation into the agency's targeting of Tea Party groups.
Thursday's hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee - the seventh congressional hearing into the Tea Party affair - may highlight the fracture in the once bipartisan outrage into the scandal. Democrats and Republicans are pushing the investigation of the scandal in two different directions.
Democrats, such as Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., want to know why an inspector general's probe didn't include evidence that liberal groups' applications for tax-exempt status were also given additional scrutiny. Cummings released documents Friday showing key words such as "progressive" and "Occupy" appeared on watch lists for IRS screeners processing tax exemption applications.
Republicans investigating the scandal still want to know how high in the Obama administration the decisions in the targeting went. Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., is asking IRS officials "why decisions to elevate cases to more senior levels of the IRS led to unjust delays and unfair treatment of Tea Party applications."
"Even as dozens of applications for progressive groups were being approved, orders from senior levels within the IRS resulted in inappropriate and disparate treatment for Tea Party applications," he said last week.
A congressional source, speaking on condition of anonymity because the witness list has not been released, said Sunday that three witnesses have been invited to testify. They are Elizabeth Hofacre, the emerging issues coordinator in the IRS's Cincinnati office who handled the Tea Party cases before seeking a transfer in 2010; Carter "Chip" Hull, an IRS lawyer in Washington who advised Hofacre on how to handle those cases; and Steve Grodnitzky, Hull's supervisor.
Hofacre has told congressional investigators that she felt "micromanaged to death" by Hull, and that Grodnitzky had taken the unusual step of asking Tea Party groups to disclose any future contracts they might enter into, according to transcripts of closed-door interviews reviewed by USA TODAY.
Democrats - including many who shared GOP indignation over the IRS targeting two months ago - question why the initial investigation didn't mention that the IRS also looked at liberal groups.
Cummings, the ranking Democrat on the Oversight Committee, wants to bring back J. Russell George, the IRS inspector general, to testify. It was George's May 14 report that first disclosed the extent of Tea Party targeting but was silent on how the tax agency handled liberal groups.
Issa and Cummings have wrangled for weeks over the release of transcripts of closed-door interviews of IRS employees. Friday, Cummings released more evidence that liberal groups were placed on an IRS "watch list" and given secondary screenings for their tax-exempt status.
Those documents show liberal groups - including those affiliated with the Occupy Wall Street movement - were put on an IRS BOLO, or "be on the lookout" list. The notes of a workshop July 28, 2010, in Cincinnati instructed front-line screeners to "err on the side of caution" and mark all potential political groups for more investigation.
Those same notes emphasized a distinction between liberal groups, which were later put on a "watch list," and the Tea Party, which was put on a separate section under "emerging issues." That list effectively put all Tea Party cases on hold until screeners received guidance from Washington.
Cummings also released an e-mail showing the inspector general's office examined 5,500 e-mails of IRS employees and found no evidence of political motivations.
"The e-mail traffic indicated there were unclear processing directions and the group wanted to make sure they had guidance on processing the applications so they pulled them. This is a very important nuance," said a May 3 e-mail from the deputy inspector general for investigations.
Cummings said the newly released documents "raise serious questions" about the inspector general's work, which he said "has been characterized by one-sided and partial information leading to unsubstantiated accusations with no basis in fact."
Michigan Rep. Sander Levin, the top Democrat on the House tax-writing committee, said Friday the inspector general report was "fundamentally flawed and created widespread misperceptions that Republicans seized on in an effort to attack the White House." He made clear that he wasn't excusing "gross mismanagement" at the IRS.
George stands behind his report and has noted that 30% of liberal cases and 100% of Tea Party cases were flagged as political from 2010 to 2012.
Republicans say the newly released documents confirm a double standard was being used by the IRS.
"These documents, once again, refute misleading attempts to equate routine scrutiny of other groups involved in advocacy to the systematic scrutiny of Tea Party groups by IRS officials," said Issa spokesman Frederick Hill.

#Instagram Diary: Groote Post, Groote Delight
Monday 23 September, 2013, saw me heading out of the Mother City along the West Coast road and bouncing in a mini van through the veld towards the Darling Hills where, between the Kapokberg on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, lies a gem of a wine farm called Groote Post.

Route 62 is one of the most stunning drives in the Western Cape, possibly in the whole of South Africa, and it's one of my favourites. It leads to some of the most picturesque towns and villages in the province, like Montagu.
Five amazing places for tea in Cape Town
Drinking tea is a gentle, languid pastime and there's no shortage of amazing places to indulge in an excellent blend in our gorgeous Mother City. I did a tea meander in the Cape Town CBD and surrounds, and these are a few amazing places to sip and savour the leaves – be they from Ceylon, China, prepared by the Earl, or plucked in the Cederberg, like our local pride and joy, rooibos.
My Good Food & Wine Show experience in Instagram
I confess this was my first visit to the Good Food & Wine Show in a long time.
With more than 200 stands in the vast CTICC venue over four days from Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 May, 2013, I was amazed at the event's growth over the last few years. The stalls, some far more fabulous than others in both product and appearance, offered everything from food and wine to everything in between that relates to the home.

Can understand about teens, they do try and get their own way, but that is the time that they really want to get guidance whether they realize it or not! My daughter, now 30, went through a lot with us. Am sorry to hear that the family was torn apart, but hope everything is healing well. I pray that there are no more problems anymore. God bless you and grant you the guidance as you go through this period of their finding who they are.
Good afternoon, Richard! How are you doing?
Hope you had a happy Resurrection Day! How are you and the grocery business? I hope the economy hasn't touched you as it has for others.

This Anti-TarBomb function makes it easy to unpack a .tar.gz without worrying about the possibility that it will "explode" in your current directory. I've usually always created a temporary folder in which I extracted the tarball first, but I got tired of having to reorganize the files afterwards. Just add this function to your .zshrc / .bashrc and use it like this;
atb arch1.tar.gz
and it will create a folder for the extracted files, if they aren't already in a single folder.
This only works for .tar.gz, but it's very easy to edit the function to suit your needs, if you want to extract .tgz, .tar.bz2 or just .tar.
More info about tarbombs at http://www.linfo.org/tarbomb.html
Tested in zsh and bash.
UPDATE: This function works for .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tgz, .tbz and .tar in zsh (not working in bash):
atb() { l=$(tar tf $1); if [ $(echo "$l" | wc -l) -eq $(echo "$l" | grep $(echo "$l" | head -n1) | wc -l) ]; then tar xf $1; else mkdir ${1%.t(ar.gz||ar.bz2||gz||bz||ar)} && tar xf $1 -C ${1%.t(ar.gz||ar.bz2||gz||bz||ar)}; fi ;}
UPDATE2: From the comments; bepaald came with a variant that works for .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .tgz, .tbz and .tar in bash:
atb() {shopt -s extglob ; l=$(tar tf $1); if [ $(echo "$l" | wc -l) -eq $(echo "$l" | grep $(echo "$l" | head -n1) | wc -l) ]; then tar xf $1; else mkdir ${1%.t@(ar.gz|ar.bz2|gz|bz|ar)} && tar xf $1 -C ${1%.t@(ar.gz|ar.bz2|gz|bz|ar)}; fi ; shopt -u extglob}

"Audibility of a CD-Standard A/D/A Loop Inserted into High-Resolution Audio Playback". E. Brad Meyer and David R. Moran. JAES 55(9) September 2007. It's worth noting that members of the BAS wrote the paper and performed in the tests. You'll need an AES membership to access the article, so no link.
Abstract: QUOTE Claims both published and anecdotal are regularly made for audibly superior sound quality for two-channel audio encoded with longer word lengths and/or at higher sampling rates than the 16-bit/44.1-kHz CD standard. The authors report on a series of double-blind tests comparing the analog output of high-resolution players playing high-resolution recordings with the same signal passed through a 16-bit/44.1-kHz "bottleneck." The tests were conducted for over a year using different systems and a variety of subjects. The systems included expensive professional monitors and one high-end system with electrostatic loudspeakers and expensive components and cables. The subjects included professional recording engineers, students in a university recording program, and dedicated audiophiles. The test results show that the CD-quality A/D/A loop was undetectable at normal-to-loud listening levels, by any of the subjects, on any of the playback systems. The noise of the CD-quality loop was audible only at very elevated levels.

I am a fan of SACD recordings. Not necesarelly because of the theoretic capability but because the fact that remasterings for this media are less prone to be compressed to coply with "loudness wars". They are recordings dedicated for the niche represented of people that can turn up the volume by hand, don't listen those discs in boomboxes or car subwoofers...
Anyway, I did test some SACD recordings of old masters (on analog domain) and they barelly pass the original CD bandwidth. This is because of poor quality of the originals ('70's, '80's). |

Seeking sweep of Nats, Marlins go with hot Hand
Lefty thriving since return to rotation; Roark has three straight gems
Brad Hand's first two starts of the season came against the Nationals five days apart in early April. He struggled in both outings, surrendering a combined eight earned runs over 6 1/3 innings.
Hand will face the Nats again on Wednesday, but this time around, the left-hander will head to the mound on a roll. In his last two starts, he's 2-0 with a 1.26 ERA in 14 1/3 innings, including a career-high 7 1/3 scoreless innings of three-hit ball against the Astros on Friday.
After his early-season struggles, Hand returned to the bullpen for several months before missing time with an ankle sprain. But since the southpaw rejoined the rotation at the start of July, he's displayed legitimate consistency as a starter, not allowing more than three earned runs in any outing. Not to mention, since July 3, his ERA has plummeted from 6.21 to 4.19.
Hand's recent surge hasn't come as a surprise to Marlins manager Mike Redmond, though. The skipper has gushed about the Hand's potential all season, about how the left-hander has impressive stuff that could keep him in the Majors for a long time. But it wasn't until recently that the rest of the team realized Hand's capabilities -- a large part of which has resulted from improved command.
"That's the key, keep pitches down," Redmond said. "That's better for everybody. That's great for the bullpen. That helps develop these guys as starters. The goal is to get six, seven innings out of the starter, not four or five. The only way you can really do that is stay in the zone, pound the strike zone and command your pitches. Over the last two starts, Brad's done a nice job of that."
Hand will take on Nationals starter Tanner Roark on Wednesday. Roark has emerged as perhaps Washington's most dependable starter with a 2.82 ERA and a 10-6 record on the season. The right-hander has surrendered one run over seven innings while surrendering six hits or fewer in each of his past three starts.
"He has the ability to throw any pitch at any count for a strike. If he doesn't have one [pitch working], he can go to other pitches," Nationals manager Matt Williams said of Roark. "That's the art of pitching. He just continues to pound the strike zone. He gives us a chance every time he goes out there."
Nationals: Werth's ankle injury not serious
Nationals right fielder Jayson Werth was absent from the starting lineup Tuesday after spraining his right ankle trying to stretch a single into a double the previous night.
Werth was available, however, for Tuesday night's 3-0 Nats loss, and he entered as a pinch-hitter in the top of the ninth inning with runners on first and second. The veteran flied out to right for the first out of the frame. Werth expects to be back in the lineup for Wednesday's series finale.
Marlins: Stanton shows signs of improvement
It's no secret that the Marlins rely on Giancarlo Stanton to set the tone. But entering Tuesday night's contest against the Nationals, the slugger hadn't been a big factor during the team's recent hot streak.
Miami went 8-1 during its nine games entering Tuesday, including an electric six-run comeback victory over Washington on Monday night. During those nine games, Stanton went 8-for-34 with four RBIs, five walks and an alarming 15 strikeouts.
But on Tuesday night, Stanton broke through with a crucial RBI double in the sixth inning that brought home the first run of the game. He added another RBI hit in the eighth, and the performance could be a sign that the outfielder is breaking out of his recent slump at the plate.
"He's been hot for so long. You're bound to go through a rough patch, and maybe this is his rough patch," Redmond said. "Now it's just a matter of him getting through it and working through it. We know that he'll get through it. It's just a matter of when."
Worth Noting
• Williams said reliever Ross Detwiler would take on a bigger role in the Nationals' bullpen with his recent success, while Jerry Blevins would become more of a lefty specialist.

Is this similar to Apples Fusion Drive, whereby the capacity of the HDD and SSD are additive rather than the SSD just purely being a cache? Is there any particular reason this work is specific to btrfs and not compatible with other file systems?
Phoronix: Hot Relocation HDD To SSD Support For Btrfs
In working to enhance the performance of the Btrfs file-system in cases where certain data/files are frequently used, a set of patches for providing hot relocation support has been posted...
Is this similar to Apples Fusion Drive, whereby the capacity of the HDD and SSD are additive rather than the SSD just purely being a cache? Is there any particular reason this work is specific to btrfs and not compatible with other file systems?
That sounds like Intel's Rapid Storage technology for Windows?
Also I read that Windows has a different way of doing something like that where commonly used files that do not reside on the SSD have their preferences and indexes stored on the SSD instead to speed up retrieval...or something along those lines.
Hybrid HDD/SSD disks and relocation is just for crappy OEM-computers, or people too poor to afford real solid-state disks.
If you have two disks, this is kinda useless anyways;
Just put the operating system on your SSD,
then put all your movies and music on the HDD.
when will btrfs be ready ? so distros can migrate to it
From the BTRS wiki....
Personal experience? From using it since it was first available in Fedora and Arch... Yes. I'm using it right now on my laptop and combining Btrfs with compress=lzo,ssd,discard and using the deadline I/O scheduler...its fast. Its stable, and compress is really nice since my SSD is only a 128Gb drive. I also used it on my home server because that machine had 2 drives in it, and btrfs was really nice there because RAID is built in. All you have to do is "mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1" and it will automatically spread hte filesystem across both drives, no messing around with LVM. I had zero problems with it there.Originally Posted by https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#Is_btrfs_stable.3F
Early Btrfs code? It was prone to error and bugs and corruption-- most of those, if not all of those, have been worked out now if you are using a recent kernel (seriously, dont use BTRFS on Ubuntu and then complain about it... try it on Arch or Gentoo or Fedora--somewhere where you have a RECENT kernel, and then see if its stable and good for your uses). I've had one filesystem corruption issue on a recent kernel and that was on Fedora 18 Beta because the laptop's battery died during the initial update. I could've tried to fix it with btrfsck, but since I had JUST Installed it i figured "Screw it" and just redid the install. After that it worked perfectly fine.

Class: Actualizing the Fundamental Point: An Introduction to Genjo Koan, GGF 5/6-6/10/13
Related Information
Yo-on Jeremy Levie
Mondays, 7:30 - 9 pm
May 6 - June 10, 2013
Jeremy Levie
How do we actualize this fundamental point of our life and practice? The Genjo Koan, originally a letter from Dogen Zenji to a lay student, is perhaps the most highly valued writing in the whole of Dogen's masterwork, Shobogenzo. Appreciated for its literary style, the Genjo Koan unfolds the foundational philosophy that supports the many concrete instructions Dogen Zenji gave to his students and is a poetic expression of Dogen's teaching of practice-realization.
We will engage with this work through careful study and close reading of many sections of the text, with a particular eye toward its relevance for our everyday practice. Class participants will have the opportunity to memorize and recite passages from the text and to participate in exercises and discussions oriented toward bringing this fascicle into our daily lives. This class is intended both for those continuing their study of this text (particularly from the spring practice period) and for those encountering the text for the first time.

The Earth Vanya is a casual women's ballet flat with soft rippled pleats.
Earthies shoes are beautifully designed and crafted for women who care about their personal health and longevity. Each Earthies shoe comes with a unique wellness footbed with a cupped heel, anatomic arch support, and cradled toe area for the ultimate in fit and comfort.
Earthies Vanya Pewter Distressed Leather Women's Shoe
Features include:
I have two pairs of these now (pewter and copper). They are a comfortable pair of flats for work. I like the color, and haven't noticed any color rubbing off yet, as the other reviewer mentioned. As the day wears on, and my foot expands, they are not a quite as comfortable as they were at the beginning of the day. Many shoes are like that, I think it speaks more to the size/flexibility of the toe box than anything.
The shoes were a bit snug when I got them (I have wide feet), but they broke in well and are now very comfortable to wear. I don't wear them a lot, but love them with my shorter hemmed pants when I don't want to wear sandals. I have had my Vanya's about six months and am now noticing that the finish on the shoes is rubbing off on the inside hem of my pants. I have the pewter, and the finish has come off of the front (toe area), top of the heel area, the ridges on the top of the shoe, and most of the sides back by the heel, leaving a soft black suede look instead of the original pewter. I am also starting to see tearing by the back heel.
Runs a little wide, but works well when I wear with socks. I love them. Great every day shoe.
My feet changed and I need a secure shoe with a low heel. But I like feminine. Earthies fit the bill. It's hard too because where the arch is located in the shoe is as important as there being good arch support. All of the Earth brand shoes have the perfect structure for my foot. I love the fact that I can try the shoes at home and return the ones that don't work for me. I have been waiting for Valla to come on sale and just purchased a pair in dark grey.

Phoronix: The New X.Org Server Driver API Is Coming
The new driver API for the X.Org Server that would finally allow for the X.Org stack to better compete with modern desktop drivers on Windows and Mac OS X, may actually see the light of day, prior to the Wayland push...
Hey,as long as they keep their eyes on Wayland and feet on xorg we'll be fine.
I hope this is true but I hardly doubt that this will make X12,it will probably have those features mentioned and other that help to transition to wayland (xwayland) .Just a mix of things so that we have stable ground.
X12 would be about an (incompatible) evolution of the X protocol to fix the issues of the X protocol.
Here it's about changing the implementation of X.Org: contrary to what many believes, to fix many current issues of the X server, changes of the X protocol are not required but its a manpower issue: see David Airlie's end of the blog where he is (bitterly) joking that noone will port the drivers to the new API.
And those who believes that Wayland will fix the manpower issue are just dreaming..
Defines for multiple device driver APIs and USB hotplugging support in a 2D, network transparant, interaction driven canvas? Sorry but... Yuck! Blegh!
Wayland is a more UNIX philosophy-like component; one thing for one job. Why not implement network transparant input devices where it's at? The kernel. And why not implement network stream of widgets where it's at? The widget toolkits.
This whole X11 architecture is dead. Instead of defending it, why not evolve it? Plan9 did something similar; network the hell out of everything. If you van do it with storage and HTML, then you can do it with IO and widgets, too!
Yeah, look at what there is to learn from rio & blit in Plan 9 from Bell Labs.
Plan 9 is Unix 2.0, its written by the guys who wrote the original Unix, these guys know what they're doing.
Cosmetics have nothing to do with the inner workings. Running on wireless of wired is completely irrelevant due to TCP/IP as opposed to UDP.
Are you even aware of what we're discussing here? (no offence )
You should be more cautious when you're responding, especially since your answer is making me think that *you* have no clue.
WAN == Wide Area Network i.e. I was asking if rio worked well in a (wired) network which has high latency and small bandwidth: having a remote display working well in a LAN is easy, having a remote display working well in a WAN is hard..
And yes, the look may be important: as "cosmetic effects" can use a lot of bandwidth (which isn't so good in a WAN).
