But... why?
Phoronix: RadeonHD Driver Power Management Improves
While we just shared that there are now patches available that introduce HDMI audio support for the xf86-video-ati driver, the RadeonHD driver has picked up improvements for power management, an area where previously the xf86-video-ati driver was in a better position. Novell's Matthias Hopf added some power management support for an area of the AtomBIOS that he had reverse engineered, after AMD hadn't provided any public documentation on the matter. With this new power management code, the xf86-video-radeonhd driver will attempt to read voltage and clock information from the AtomBIOS and then try to figure out the different combinations of voltages and frequencies that will work without leaving the card in a non-functioning state...
But... why?
Seriously, drop RadeonHD. Not because I don't like Hopf's and Eich's (and Luc's) work, but because I do not see the reason.
RadeonHD seems to be a little pet project -- and nothing more.
I can't understand why the Novell developers aren't put to work on kernel modesetting, R600 Mesa support, Radeon Gallium3D, or something of more importance.
Let's face it, in the future, all the modesetting code is going to be in the kernel, and all the acceleration code is going to be in Mesa/Gallium, hence the Radeon-specific DDXs won't be needed.
Now, currently, Radeon fills the niche. RadeonHD has no place. It is just a drain on resources, it seems. Reading between the lines, it seems as if the AMD employees concur as well.
Realistically, both radeonhd and radeon are likely to go away eventually, assuming that both KMS and 2D/Xv acceleration over Gallium3D work out as planned.
What we think of as "full" power management (ie dynamic adjustment of clocks and voltages based on current and anticipated system workload) will probably only get implemented on top of KMS, ie in the kernel.
In the meantime, however, this level of power management work continues to be useful, and it's not a big surprise that developers experiment with new features in the code they know best. Even after KMS becomes the norm, I expect some work will still be done first in usermode drivers simply because debugging in usermode seems to be less of a pain than working in the kernel.
If you look at the commit logs, the DDX drivers have been pretty stable for the last six months, with most of the changes either related to adding new GPU support (we add the same changes to both drivers), experimenting with new features (eg this power management work), or adding compatibility with changes in other drivers (eg making the acceleration code in radeon work with KMS/GEM).
To defent radeonhd, I just switched today to radeonhd, I first tried the xf86-video-ati driver from git, it was way too problematic, I had artifacts and all such of weird behavior. I then installed radeonhd and all works very smooth and VT switching is very smooth, I am very happy with radeonhd now. Still there is a long way to go. But well, once have to wait, since AMD/ATI developers doesn't care about giving the consumers a good driver so they can use their hardware in the best enjoyable way.
Of course these drivers maybe temporary solutions. But then radeonHD had things xf86-video-ati did not have and v.v.. I personally welcome the powersaving a lot. And remember folks, it's free code so if it is suitable somehow it can be used in other drivers as well. Be it in kernel land or in a different user land driver. And powersaving is really needed on all these modern chips.
So I'm in joy reading these news.
so can we use this power management now?
I'm using 1.2.5 version of radeonhd. Is there a new version, or do I need to do a git pull on some repository? There doesn't seem to be a coherent location with up-to-date instructions for downloading/installing the driver so I never really know how I should be doing it, or whether any instructions I do find are current.
I'd happily use radeon instead if it gives me power management, but I can't figure out how best to install that one either.
Any hints?
The newest features will only apply to git right now.
It's going to depend on what distro you're using. For Ubuntu (or Debian), you can follow this to build the driver yourself: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonHDThere doesn't seem to be a coherent location with up-to-date instructions for downloading/installing the driver so I never really know how I should be doing it, or whether any instructions I do find are current.
Or you can use a pre-built .deb from a PPA (it's frequently synced with git, usually only a few days behind at most): https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive
Thanks, that looks useful. But I'm getting the impression that the power management changes are just laying the path for the future, rather than doing anything that will reduce power on my card as of now - is that correct?
I'm using Debian (testing) - although I keep thinking of switching to Ubuntu, but it always seems like a lot of effort for little discernible benefit, so I never quite get round to it.
Am I right in assuming PPAs are Ubuntu specific, or can I use them in Debian too?

Vandals offer birthday money to pay for repairs to Cumbrian church
Published at 08:13, Friday, 09 March 2012
Young boys who desecrated a church have offered to give up their birthday money to help pay for repairs.
Related: Cumbrian kids quizzed by police over church wrecking spree
There was heartbreak and anger in Brampton when it was discovered that gravestones had been pulled over and windows smashed at the historic place of worship – with children aged between six and 10 to blame.
Those responsible for the damage came face-to-face with those most affected by their crime at Brampton Old Church this week.
Police organised the meeting through a restorative justice scheme because the four youngsters are below the age of criminal responsibility.
People there said the children had clearly got the message about the impact of their crime.
Brampton Parish Council chairman Judith Pattinson said: "The parents were very upset and tearful and the children looked bewildered.
"They promised to give the money they had got for their birthdays towards the repairs.
"I thought the meeting was an appropriate way to handle the situation and if it means the community is brought closer, then that can only be beneficial."
The boys toppled gravestones, smashed windows and candlesticks and dragged a cross out of the church almost a fortnight ago. The total damage caused is thought to run into thousands of pounds.
Police believe the restorative justice programme is the most effective way to deal with cases where those responsible are below the age of criminal responsibility because it means they must meet those most affected by the crime. All of the boys responsible for the church damage live locally.
Brampton Preservation Trust, which owns the church but has no responsibility for the graveyard, may have to foot the bill for the damage.
It is understood that one of the boys told a relative what had happened and they then reported it.
In the aftermath of the vandalism, Mrs Pattinson said pupils from Brampton Primary School would carry out litter picks in Murray Park and Irthing Park to demonstrate that young people from the town do care about their community.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pallie Girl Simple and Sturdy
Great bike rack. Takes a little adjusting at first, but once the adjustments are made, it's smooth sailing. Some reviews criticize the securing straps on this bike rack as being too long but all you have to do is tie them up and tuck them in - no big deal. The body is made out of durable plastic and the feet are rubber so you never have to worry about it rusting. Very secure. We did use two small bungee cords to hold the wheels - keep them from spinning, but other than that, all you need is the rack to secure the bikes. The only criticism I have is that it was a little pricey. But if it's easy to use and keeps the bikes secure, it's worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by magawto6 Not designed for women's or children's bikes
This rack is only deigned to carry men's bikes. Each women's or children's bike requires a "bike beam" that costs about $35.00. The actual cost to use this rack is $170.00, $205.00, $240.00 or $275.00 depending on how many women's or children's bikes you will carry. Neither Dick's nor Saris Bones provides this information in advance.
Once mounted and bike bar installed, I found this rack to perform well. It is much more stable on the car than our old rack. I like that the lower feet transfer most of the weight of the bikes to the bumper. Each bike is restrained to avoid hitting or rubbing other bikes.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Sunshine Love it!
This was a great investment, my husband had bought a bike rack probably 10 years ago. It was a dinosaur, as soon as the weather turned and I was wanting to go to the trail and ride my bike it was time to invest in a new bike rack. After looking at several and checking the reviews I was between two and then I thought it would be good to give to the cause of Breast Cancer. I made the right choice. I also use it almost every afternoon to pick up my son after he rides his BMX after school. I would highly recommend this to anyone.

Rated 4 out of 5 by BIKER55 Good bike rack
I like this bike rack because it's made well, sturdy and seems durable. The things I didn't like is that the side straps did not work for the middle of the bike rack. I use it for one bike and want to use the existing side straps and they don't reach to be able to utilize them. I ended up using bungee cords to keep the bike from swaying on the bike rack. I did end up purchasing an extender bar, so that I could get my girl's bike to stay on the rack. It would have been helpful if the sales person would have suggested this when I purchased the bike rack.

Rated 5 out of 5 by pinkbiker Easy to Use Bike Rack
This rack was easy to set up and use. It is very secure. I have only used it with the max of 2 bikes on the outer two holders. I do have a hard top convertible (VW) and the side straps didn't perfectly fit they way they should, but it was maneuverable. I do wish you could still access the trunk or especially put my convertible down with it on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Philip Saris Bones Bike Rack.
I had borught some cheap ones and was never happy and felt that the bikes are going to fall off.
Once i used this bike rack I was so pleased and happy with it. I drive without worry that the bikes are going to fall off the rack.
Thank you.
my one issue is what do you do with the straps, they are long.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NewRider Best Bike Rack
Great bike rack. Not too expensive and extremely sturdy. I have a $1040 Trek Mamba and was at first nervous to drive over 200 miles with it on my Nissan maxima, however after checking the straps at 45 miles I was well assured of the security.
Saris website automated system to see if the bones will fit on your car with the spoiler option says that it will not work for my maxima, but it does fit perfect and does not rub or touch the spoiler.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chazgems Last one you will ever purchase!
I purchased the Saris Bones-3 after much research. It is a bit more expensive than most others, but with a good size investment in bikes I did not want to cheap-out on a rack just because of price. This is extremely secure, durable, and easy to use. Also, if I ever do need to part, the resale is excellent. I would not hesitate to purchase this rack!

Our first bike rack. Traveled with two adult bikes on country roads and highway (speeds avg.70-75). Held them securely. Easily adaptable to different cars. I am wondering about the "plastic" teeth wearing down but really a great bike rack.

Help for alcoholics who want to achieve and maintain sobriety?
Oh what an order!!! That's what this Forum is all about!
If you have a desire to stop drinking and your drinking is causing you problems -- or, if you have discovered that living without alcohol is uncomfortable, and you get restless, irritable or discontented when not drinking -- it is highly suggested that you find a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. You may discover why you feel this way.
While we stress the importance of going to AA Meetings -- AA Meetings is not "the entire" Alcoholics Anonymous program of recovery. The AA meetings are to remind us, that our problem is alcoholism, and to remind us that the AA Solution is the 12 Steps. AA meetings are also a place where we can reach out to each other, support each other, and practice a part of our 12th Step.... to "carry the AA message to other alcoholics.â€

From how to throw the perfect toss, how to hit a kick serve and how to hit a slice serve out wide, follow these instruction videos to improve your serve.
If you're serious about doubles, you and your partner need to develop a solid two-player practice routine. Here's how to refine your doubles in eight steps—and you'll get a great workout too.
In today's game, if you rely on sheer power alone, you'll come in last place. It's a major part of the game, but spin is a bigger part. With spin, you can change the pace of the ball, make it bounce high, make it dance—and make your opponents uncomfortable.

In thick of playoff chase, Yanks take on rivals
Kuroda looks to stymie Sox while Lackey aims to trim magic number
The Red Sox's offense was on a rampage last weekend until it ran into Hiroki Kuroda. They had scored 54 runs over four games, including 34 in three wins over the Yankees, before Kuroda helped New York avoid a four-game sweep with six solid innings on Sunday.
The Yankees come to Fenway Park to open a three-game set on Friday, and this time, Kuroda will start the opener. He'll try to set the tone for a New York team in hot pursuit of an American League Wild Card berth.
The Red Sox, who will counter with John Lackey, have the AL East all but wrapped up with an 8 1/2-game lead over the Rays. But the chase for the second AL Wild Card spot is going strong, with the Yankees beating the Orioles on Thursday to stay within one game of Tampa Bay. They sit a half-game ahead of the Indians and 1 1/2 ahead of the O's and Royals.
"We've been chasing for the whole year, basically," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "It's obviously become much more interesting the last three or four weeks as we've got guys back. It became a lot more interesting. You know, every day it has that feeling of a playoff game."
Beginning with the finale of the teams' last series, the Yankees have won four of five and crept closer to a playoff spot.
"I don't know that we wrote them off at all," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "As [Alfonso] Soriano has come to that team, as [Alex] Rodriguez has come back, their offense is a strong one. We saw it for four games. No lead was seemingly safe. I think they've done an awesome job to be in the position they're in given the number of games missed by their regular players.
"You respect the way they go about their work. Their pitching has been constant, and now they're scoring a lot of runs of late. And this weekend is going to be, as we've looked at every series throughout the course of the year, it's going to be challenging in and of itself. I think they'll be some excitement in and around the three games that we play. Any time we play them it's always a spectacle."
The Yankees will put their recent surge on the line against a club that has won 14 of its past 18 despite a loss on Thursday. They can hope for a repeat performance against Lackey (9-12, 3.48 ERA) after the veteran right-hander allowed a season-high seven runs over 5 2/3 innings against them last Saturday. On the other hand, Boston's offense still helped him pick up his second win in his past 10 starts.
Kuroda (11-10, 2.99 ERA) finally cooled those bats the following day, holding Boston to two runs on five hits, with two walks and six strikeouts. Despite not feeling at his best, the righty put an end to a four-start run in which he posted a 7.43 ERA and was hit for a .353 average.
While Kuroda can help the Yankees take down a longtime rival, their true enemies at the moment are the rest of the teams in the Wild Card mix. That means plenty of eyes will be on Fenway Park's out-of-town scoreboard.
"I've said it many times; it's impossible to ignore. You're going to see it," Girardi said. "Just like a game goes up and down, that scoreboard can go up and down, too. You see a team has a lead, then they blow the lead. I think everyone is in tune with it."
Yankees: Gardner suffers oblique injury
• Outfielder Brett Gardner has been one of the Yankees' most consistent performers this year, contributing at the plate, in the field and on the bases. Now he could be sidelined at a critical juncture of the season, adding to New York's season-long injury troubles.
Gardner left Thursday night's game in Baltimore with a strained left oblique after striking out looking in the first inning. He was replaced by Curtis Granderson in the bottom of the frame and will travel back to New York for an MRI.
• Girardi used Rodriguez at designated hitter for the second straight game on Thursday. Rodriguez had told Girardi in a text message earlier that day that his tight left hamstring felt "better."
Red Sox: A time for rest
Between their sizable division lead and a deep bench that includes the likes of Xander Bogaerts, Mike Carp, Jonny Gomes and David Ross, the Red Sox have the luxury of resting some starters down the stretch.
Bogaerts took Will Middlebrooks' place in the lineup on Thursday against the Rays, while Gomes got the nod so Shane Victorino could rest some nagging injuries.
"It starts with good players, and we're able to manage their playing time, because we have depth that we can go to and not have a huge drop-off in capability and performance," said Farrell. "That's the reason why, in September, we're trending up in terms of offensive performance. We've been able to keep guys fresh. In a day and age where the drugs are cleaned up, rest is that much more important, and depth of roster becomes that much more valuable."
Worth noting
• The Red Sox hold a 10-6 lead in the season series, although the teams have split six games at Fenway Park.
• Boston is starting its final homestand, with three games apiece against the Yankees, Orioles and Blue Jays.
• Kuroda has a 4.26 ERA in five starts against the Red Sox this season, while Lackey owns a 5.79 mark in three outings against the Yankees.

I caught Argo, didn't think it was great. I still think Lincoln should be the film walking away with all the awards. I think Argo is getting the pity vote for Affleck since he was not nominated.
Didn't catch anything this weekend mostly due to the snow storm but caught Movie 43, Parker, Warm Bodies, Bullett to the Head and a 2nd viewing of Hansel and Gretel during the week.
Enjoyed all of them and have to admit to having found Movie 43 and Parker much more entertaining than I thought would be the case.

I was wondering if obtaining a PhD from Capella University in Human Services with a specialization in Healthcare Administration would be a good idea. My concern is that potential employers may look at the university that the degree was obtained and consider it inferior to other applicants because it is an online program. Are online programs worth it? Thank you in advance for your time.
D. Doctor
Conducting research is a must and you must choose wisely. The internet is such a huge part of today's society I feel that online learning is going to become more and more prevelant.

Merrell Unisex Shearling Replacement Insole
I bought these because my dog ate the insole of one shoe....I was going to replace just the one, but they felt brand new so I replaced both insoles!!! What a way to renew your shoes!!!!! AWESOME PRODUCT!!!!
I ordered the Merrell fleece insoles to replace the worn-out stinky pair I'd had in my Merrell Chill shoes. They fit perfectly and my shoes feel soft and plush and good as new. I'm so pleased with my purchase!
I've been wearing my Merrell Primo Chills for more than 2 years - and love them. I literally was wearing out the insoles so being able to purchase these replacements give my old friends a new life.
I am extremely glad I found these insoles because I am not ready to replace the shoe yet, and now they feel almost brand new again! The color of the natural shearing didn't quite match the the inside of my shoe or the old insole I am replacing, but it dosn't make much difference since it's on the inside. Definitely worth the money.
I put them in my rubber boots and they keep my feet warm and dry. It is like having a warm cushion to walk on. The other great thing is the price, which is very reasonable.
Without these insoles, my Encore Chili clogs would be last year's wonderful shoes that aren't as comfortable anymore!
I have had my Merrell Encores for about two years and love them. The soft, fluffy insoles lost their fluffiness after a while so I was thrilled to find these replacements. They fit perfectly into my shoes and brought my old shoes back to life.
These new insoles brought new life to my two-year old Merrell clogs. I'm glad someone told me to replace them rather than spending the money on new shoes. Although they only come in whole sizes, mine fit fine in my shoes that are size 8 1/2. I spend lots of time in ice rinks with my sons and the new insoles keep my feet warm in the best shoes for standing on the cold floor.

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Tony Cairoli came away from Round 3 of the Italian International MX Championship on Sunday with the Elite title in his hands. But a brush on the first corner of the MX1 race ended with a DNF that knocked him down to second place in the MX1 category.
Tony Cairoli had been the overall top performer in the two earlier rounds, easily winning both the MX1 and Elite Class races and went into the final round at Montevachi with a perfect scorecard. But an incident in the first corner of the MX1 race saw KTM's multi MX1 world champion make contact with Steven Frossard and he had to pull out of the race.
On his KTM 350 SX-F Cairoli made a great comeback in the Elite race later in the afternoon despite getting a painful knock on his ankle in the earlier crash. Starting right at the back of the field at fortieth place, he went on the charge, moving up to seventh place in the two opening laps. The popular Italian then got stuck in traffic in mid race but eventually managed to move up to fourth at the flag. He finished behind former teammate Jeremy van Horebeek in the MX1 class rankings but was the clear winner in the Elite category!
Red Bull KTM's Jordi Tixier did not compete in the third round, having been on the list to race at the International in Valence, France, which was canceled due to bad weather. The French rider still had enough accrued points to take a podium third in the MX2 class, while Paul Jonass of Latvia and Italian Ivo Monticelli from Marchetti Racing Team KTM took 4-5 in the MX2 championship.

Sound Montage: Remembering A Busy News Week
Originally published on Fri April 19, 2013 1:32 pm
OK. Minute by minute throughout this morning we're tracking events out of Boston to understand where we are. Let's also review this week briefly to understand where we have been.
ED DAVIS: At 2:50 PM there were simultaneous explosions that occurred along the route of the Boston Marathon near the finish line.
That's Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis talking about those events Monday. Now, the FBI, by sifting through a mass of photos and surveillance footage, was able to identify two suspects yesterday, two men seen carrying bags and wearing baseball caps. They released photos to the public asking for help.
Last night the story continued in Cambridge.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Where is that A-L-S unit? Officer down. Where are the A-L-S units? Please.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: We're working it, we're working it, trying to get it there.
INSKEEP: We heard the sounds - an officer down - in that radio recording there. An MIT police officer was shot and killed on the university campus following a nearby robbery. There was also a carjacking of a Mercedes SUV and then the story, along with two suspects from the bombing apparently moved to Watertown where police discovered the car and engaged those suspects.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: You guys got rifles?
GREENE: That's YouTube audio from the shootout captured by a Watertown resident. This is what Watertown residents woke up to this morning. Now, Suspect Number One, the man in the black hat, was shot and later died at the hospital. Suspect Two remains at large.
At a press conference earlier this morning, state Homeland Security official Curt Schwartz offered a warning.
CURT SCHWARTZ: To the residents of Watertown, Newton, Waltham, Belmont, Cambridge, and the Allston-Brighton neighborhoods of Boston we are asking you to stay home, stay indoors. We're asking businesses not to open. We're asking people not to congregate outside. We're asking people not to go to mass transit.
INSKEEP: Colonel Timothy Alben of the Massachusetts State Police says the manhunt continues into this morning.
COLONEL TIM ALBEN: Our immediate concern is for those people in that neighborhood up there. We have an active search going on by tactical teams to locate and apprehend this particular individual. He should be considered armed and dangerous and is a threat to anybody that might approach him.
INSKEEP: OK. So that's where we've been. Now let's talk about where we are. Our colleague Dina Temple-Raston, counterterrorism correspondent has now confirmed that these two suspects, the one in the black hat who is dead, the one in the white hat still is at large are described as brothers from Chechnya. These are two men from Chechnya, brothers, who are accused of bombing the Boston Marathon and who led police on a chase overnight.
We'll bring you more as we learn it right here on MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
GREENE: And I'm David Greene. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

What's interesting is that in Open Arena the performance in Ubuntu 11.04 begins to improve at about the same point as OS X in that game and the one before it. Not only that, it gets even better at higher resolutions. It could be that, with some work, we could do much better than OS X.
What I really can't wait to see, is how wayland effects game performance. Would be nice if there's some improvement with that, in addition to the slimmed stack.

Wow, now that was a pointless series of benchmarks...
Phoronix: Linux 2.6.28 Kernel Benchmarks
The Linux 2.6.28 kernel was released this past week in time for the holidays. This quarterly update to the Linux kernel brought the stabilization of the EXT4 file-system, the Graphics Execution Manager, a host of new drivers, and a variety of other updates. For some weekend benchmarking we had tested the latest Linux 2.6.28 kernel along with other recent kernels using the Phoronix Test Suite.
Wow, now that was a pointless series of benchmarks...
I agree with ethana2. These benchmarks are proof the kernel guys are not introducing regressions..
Or proof that they're not improving, if your glass is half-empty...
Registered just to post this:
FPS in wine dropped sharply with 2.6.28, making it almost unplayable. I reverted back to 18.104.22.168 for now. All I play is hl1 based mods, so you might want to try benchmarking those.
Also I noticed that sound messed up every one in a while while watching videos. A quick pause/play fixed it though.
I really like what you are doing here, by carefully benchmarking every kernel and whatsoever, but I think the data could be presented better.
Right now there is 2-3 pictures per page with a few paragraphs of text spanning over 6 pages, not mentioning that the graphs don't show anything that really needs graphs. It's frustrating to keep going over every page just to see something that could be summed up with 1 or 2 sentences.
Perhaps you could make the graphs more compact in the future, because now they take up too much space and are bulky. Also, I think it is safe to allow more information per page, because now there's atleast half of the page height still empty white, unused.

VIDEO: Walker's Wisc. Union Reforms Are Working! (A Lesson for all Blue States)
Governor Scott Walker was the worst devil the unions could imagine. They targeted him and Wisconsin's Republicans mercilessly earlier this year. Fortunately, the unions and their Democrat handmaidens lost most of these battles.
But now some results are being seem from the efforts to curtail the un-democratic, unearned power of Wisconsin's government employee unions. A new effort by the MacIver Institute and Americans for Prosperity is showing the world where these policies have succeeded in making things better in Wisconsin.
This is a lesson for Illinois and every other blue state. We can fix our problems, too. But it means defeating entrenched, un-American union power and their bought and paid for Democrats.
From It's Working Wisconsin…
We heard the sky would fall and that there would be massive layoffs of state and local government workers and teachers. Some asserted that Wisconsin's budget reform would mark the end of the state as we know it.
But the sky's still there. And Wisconsin is stronger than ever.
Thanks to Wisconsin's budget reform…
A new website, ItsWorkingWisconsin.com is committed to providing the facts to Wisconsin taxpayers. Every week there are more examples of how It's Working. Together, the John K. MacIver Institute for Public Policy have chronicled success stories from across Wisconsin.
We also arm you with the facts to explain why the reform was necessary.
Facing a $3.6 billion deficit, Wisconsin's general fund was hemorrhaging money, spending more than it was taking in.
Wisconsin could have either raised taxes on individuals, families and job providers, or cut spending.
As a result of Wisconsin's budget reform, the state has cut the deficit and reduced the strain on local governments by giving them the tools to reduce their labor costs without massive program cuts or layoffs.
This website details the positive results of local officials having the flexibility to reduce spending while protecting vital services.
Wisconsin's Budget Reform. It's Working.

Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR)
PROGRAM GUIDELINES Solicitation 14-539
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 15-1), is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after December 26, 2014. The PAPPG is consistent with, and, implements the new Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) (2 CFR � 200). Please be advised that the guidelines contained in NSF 15-1 apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program stimulates technological innovation in the private sector by strengthening the role of small business concerns in meeting Federal research and development needs, increasing the commercial application of federally supported research results, and fostering and encouraging participation by socially and economically disadvantaged and women-owned small businesses.
The SBIR program solicits proposals from the small business sector consistent with NSF's mission. The program is governed by Public Law 112-81 (SBIR/STTR Reauthorization Act of 2011). A main purpose of the legislation is to stimulate technological innovation and increase private sector commercialization. The NSF SBIR program is therefore in a unique position to meet both the goals of NSF and the purpose of the SBIR legislation by transforming scientific discovery into both social and economic benefit, and by emphasizing private sector commercialization.
Accordingly, NSF has formulated broad solicitation topics for SBIR that conform to the high-technology investment sector's interests. The topics are detailed on the SBIR/STTR topics homepage.
Note: The submission of the same project idea to both this SBIR Phase I solicitation and the concurrent STTR Phase I solicitation is strongly discouraged.

It was just yesterday that Martin Gräßlin, the lead KWin developer, had written yet another insightful blog post about the underlying improvements to KWin in KDE SC 4.7, but now he's back at it again today. This time he's writing about the different rendering back-ends that are available for KWin...
Does someone have some info about why AMD catalyst is blacklisted?
"the AMD Catalyst (fglrx) driver is blacklisted from using the GL2 back-end, so for now it also is using the GL1 back-end even though the Catalyst driver on modern hardware supports GL3/GL4. "
FAIL... its ironic the Radeon IS NOT blacklisted... only the Catalyst...
Catalyst is shown multiple times as a Synonym for broken by design
maybe they fix it on Kubuntu 11.10
Thanks for keeping us informed about KDE, Michael ^^,
The Kwin OpenGL choices are favorable for free software ^^, I hope they won't use floating point though. Maybe doubles for fancy effects?
will any of this work on a multi-display set-up using xinerama?

Algebra Worksheets & Printables
Algebra worksheets are a great tool to provide practice for kids learning algebraic expressions. Algebra worksheets are a great tool for kids beginning to learn algebra. Let's face it, algebra equations can be tricky at first, but these worksheets can help make your child more comfortable with the subject matter and improve her scores. Whether your child needs algebra help, or is looking for an extra challenge, you can find the resources she needs with these algebra worksheets. Have your young mathematician give these algebra worksheets a try!
Tips for Tutoring Algebra
Algebra worksheets are perfect study tools for blossoming mathematicians. If your child needs extra help working through algebraic equations, try these helpful tips:
- Give your child a quiet space to work on his printable algebra worksheets. This could be a desk, the dinner table, or even a portable clipboard and an armchair. Make sure that your child has a couple of pencils, an eraser, and a pencil sharpener nearby.
- Sit with your child and solve the first few problems together. Have your child work through the first problem. If he gets stuck, prompt him to tell you why.
- Show your child how you would solve the algebra problem. Make sure to write down each step and explain what you are doing as you are doing it. Check in with your child after each step to make sure he understands what you did.
- Have your child try the next problem with your supervision. Show him how to check his answer by 'plugging in' the value of the variable. For example, if your child is solving the equation 6 + x = 10 for x, he might come up with the answer 16. Have your child 'plug in' the value of the variable by replacing x with 16 in the original problem, to make 6 + 16 = 10. Since 6 + 16 does not equal 10, your child will see that he has come up with the wrong value for the variable, and need to reattempt the original equation.

Air Conditioner Buying Guide
Learn More |
A wall air conditioner is very similar to a window air conditioner with the difference being that it rests in a sleeve within your wall and not through a window opening. Many older homes have wall air conditioners because they were built prior to central air. Apartments and condominiums also often use a wall AC unit to give each resident local climate control. The best wall air conditioners double as heaters, making them a great choice for homes in need of a complete climate control solution. Choose from manufacturers like GE and Friedrich to cool your home, today!
A wall AC unit is a good choice for the safety conscious. Window air conditioner installation can be a tricky process, with the unit running the risk of falling out when being installed or removed. An in wall air conditioner simply slips into the snug AC sleeve that is secured in the wall. Wall AC units, however, do require creating a permanent hole in an exterior wall, which is something to keep in mind when choosing an air conditioner. Brick walls or stud placement may make a wall AC an impractical choice. |

Cisco is a character from the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto Advance. He is from Colombia, and is the leader of the Colombian Cartel gang and was an associate of Mike, the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto: Advance. Cisco is living in the United States, as he describes in Grand Theft Auto: Advance: "I am a proud, illegal alien and I have an identity card provided by the Mexican Government to prove it."
Events of GTA Advance
Cisco is first introduced to Mike in the mission Fine Dining, when King Courtney attempts to get Mike to kill Cisco. Cisco, after getting beaten up, manages to convince Mike to work for him. After getting Cisco's new shoes (a method of transporting drugs) into various shops and blowing up a rivalry factory, Cisco asks Mike to kidnap Yuka in order to bribe the Yakuza. Cisco then loses the services of Mike, who begins working for Asuka Kasen, and rescues Yuka from the Cartel.
However, Mike and Cisco do begin to work together again. Cisco attempts to find out who had killed Vinnie, but this only leads Mike into an ambush. Cisco moves from his home in Wichita Gardens to near Francis International Airport, to further his investigations. Cisco then has Mike distract a rival gang, whilst Cisco attends a meeting about the "bubonic plague". He pages Mike to say he has arrived safely, although he is killed by Vinnie, who had faked his own death. His unknown lieutenant, actively tries to kill Mike, in order to extract revenge (believing that Mike was behind the near death of Cisco). The un-named lieutenant is not Miguel, as the lieutenant can be killed, whilst Miguel appears in Grand Theft Auto III (set after GTA Advance).

Cardamom Elettaria cardamomum - aka cardamon, is from the dried ground fruit pods of an aromatic plant of the ginger family. It is native to India, Nepal, Bhutan, Guatemala, and Sri Lanka. It is traditionally used in Indian curries and in bean and rice dishes. It is the world's third most expensive spice, only surpassed by saffron and vanilla. It imparts a very intense aromatic, fruity, warm flavor and is especially delightful with sweet dishes, such as caramel. In Scandinavian countries it is often used to flavor bread dough, Danish pastries, coffee cakes, and pies. In Indian cardamom is added to spicy chai tea and in Middle Eastern countries it is brewed with coffee for an aromatic flair. It is most frequently used in making curry powder blends along with cinnamon, cumin, coriander, cloves, chilies, turmeric, pepper, fenugreek, and other tropical spices.

CC, Dempster each seeking redemption in series finale
Yanks lefty, Sox righty both looking to rebound from rough last outing
CC Sabathia got about as far away as he could from a Major League mound during the All-Star break, and he'll make his return to reality on the Fenway Park hill Sunday night in the finale of the Yankees' three-game series against the Red Sox.
Sabathia, who spent his break on St. Barts island in the Caribbean, will take on right-hander Ryan Dempster in the finale, with Dempster stepping in for the originally scheduled Jon Lester, whose start was pushed back due to general fatigue.
The Yankees' big lefty Sabathia said he spent his break out of touch and didn't see the All-Star Game, playing catch to keep limber but otherwise uncharacteristically taking a break from the game, and even watching television.
"I didn't see anything about baseball," he said. "It was actually refreshing to be able to get away and relax. It was the first time I'd done that in a while. I feel good."
The Yankees are hoping he feels better than he did his last start, when he matched his shortest outing of the season with just four innings of work in a 10-4 loss to the Twins. He allowed eight runs, only three of them earned, in that one, and it stuck in his craw a bit.
"It doesn't change anything, I haven't pitched yet," said Sabathia, whose July performance at 1-2 with a 3.60 ERA marks an improvement over June. "I'm still terrible and disappointed."
The Red Sox, meanwhile, are hurting in their rotation, what with All-Star Clay Buchholz sidelined with neck and shoulder soreness and now Lester dealing with what Red Sox manager John Farrell termed as "general wear and tear."
With Dempster rested and ready to step in after the break, the Red Sox figured it best to give their lefty a little longer to get into the second half.
"We felt like two things: one, we have an opportunity right now to give him a couple extra days coming out of the break. And two, he'll benefit from it," Farrell said of Lester.
Dempster, like Sabathia, has had a long time to chew on a rough start, having lasted just 3 1/3 innings his last start before the All-Star Game, allowing seven runs (four earned) before being removed after throwing 91 pitches. Dempster made his Red Sox debut in April at Yankee Stadium, taking the loss after giving up three runs in five innings of work.
Sabathia, meanwhile, was roughed up by the Red Sox on Opening Day but had a strong start against them in May, and now he has a quick island vacation behind him and hopes a strong second half is in front of him and his ballclub.
"I think given the position that we're in, trying to make up games and trying to win this division, I think every start is going to be big. It'll start with [Sunday]," Sabathia said.
Yankees: Gardner returns after ejection
Brett Gardner's game Friday night ended at home plate, and he started Saturday's game right back there, eventually going 3-for-5 with a trio of singles after leading off the game with one of them.
Gardner was ejected from Friday's game in the fifth inning after throwing his helmet in reaction to a called third strike by umpire Mike Everitt and said afterward he needs to "do a better job of keeping my emotions in check."
Before his ejection, Gardner had stolen a pair of bases to take over the Yankees' No. 10 spot in career steals with 152, leaving him one shy of Mickey Mantle in ninth place. Gardner made a steal attempt in the top of the ninth Saturday but was thrown out to end the inning.
Red Sox: Victorino could play Sunday
Shane Victorino experienced tightness in his left hamstring Friday night and was held out of Saturday's lineup. But Farrell is hopeful the veteran outfielder will be back in action Sunday.
Farrell said Victorino was "responding favorably to treatment" so a Sunday return should be in order.
"As he's been dealing with this issue for quite a while, we fully expect him to have to deal with it. But it's not to the point to disable him," Farrell said.
Worth noting
• The Yankees now have won eight of the last 13 and 19 of the last 30 meetings with the Red Sox.
• After Sunday night's finale, both teams will continue to play contenders, with the Yankees traveling to Texas for a four-game set and the Red Sox hosting the Rays for four.
• This has been the latest first visit to Fenway Park by the Yankees since the strike-interrupted 1981 season, and stands as the latest in a full season in the rivalry's history. Once the series concludes Sunday, the two teams have three more series this season: Aug. 16-18 at Fenway, Sept. 5-8 at Yankee Stadium, and Sept. 13-15 back at Fenway.

Great product but it is "pinker" than you'd think - 3/21/2015 6:42:16 AM The product is great and I love the fact it's "3 free". The color, though, is not what I expected. Online the color looked more tan, as I would expect from the description (toffee). In person, though, this looks a bit more pink, and it has very fine sparkles. (I can't call it glitter; it's too subtle for that.). It's nice, and the first day on I had people compliment it ask for the color name, but it's just not quite what I hoped. I'll still buy Butter - just a different color.Holy nail bed! It works! - 3/21/2015 6:20:51 AM I used to have tough nails that grew like weeds but that's not the case any more. My thumb nails have some serious vertical ridges that were splitting into the nail bed and taking half the tips. And the other eight nails seemed to crack if I looked at them too hard. So I tried no chip manicures over the holidays. That was a disaster! The first was great but by New Years day the polish from the third mani was chipping and taking nail with it. The polish from one thumb actually fell off whole! (Thankfully not into the food I was prepping!!) I paid dearly for that experiment and spent January with stubby, jagged nails that ripped daily into the nail bed. I had been on this site over the holidays and saw this product. I have purchased a lot (no, really, A LOT) of nail strengthening products that did nothing. After I put this in my cart I hemmed and hawed. I asked myself if I hadn't learned my lesson yet. I almost didn't buy it but I told myself it was a holiday gift to me. Finally, in the last half of January, I remembered it. I started applying it daily, as directed, by the end of that month. Here's the freakish part - in week three I was crazy busy and either in too much of a hurry or too tired to apply it. After that it was day six - almost time to take it off and start week four - so I did. That's when I realized how well this works!! A few of my nails had become SO MUCH THICKER that the new growth (remember, three days worth) was visibly lower. I had little "cliffs" that dropped off to the cuticle!! I checked more closely; all ten were like that to some extent and the thumb ridges were greatly improved - even, it seems, the older nail portions. But the three I noticed first were so different as they grew out that I had to feather the edge to buff out the cliffs. After that I didn't skip applications more than once a week. Until now that is; the nails were all finally long enough to polish. So I used Horsepower as a base coat (I applied two coats to feed these ten little babies all week) then applied two coats of Aston. I may still read the cute color names of that other polish, but I doubt I'll buy any other brand moving forward. FYI - I typically use exclamation points sparingly and the number here may seem to be beyond excessive (I'm even a bit embarrassed), but please know I truly am not kidding. I love this stuff!Thick and Gooey - 3/12/2015 4:56:44 AM I love Butter London products, but I hadn't purchased the nail polish before. Lucy in the Sky arrived yesterday. When I opened it, there was polish around the rim as if it had already been used. The polish was thick and wouldn't go on evenly. After finally finishing 2 coats, it looked ridiculous. Within a couple of hours it began to chip off. Either the polish was very old or it had been opened before. Be careful when you order!IT WORKS! - 2/16/2015 4:17:17 PM My thin ridge filled, weak nails are growing. I've tried 1/2 dozen of these nail treatments and none have worked as well as this. It even seems to be smoothing out the ridges. Only been using for 3 weeks and already my nails are longer and stronger and not splitting.Best Blush - 12/16/2014 4:01:23 AM Naughty Biscuit is a very natural color. Cream blush is very easy to control and blends better.Great Product - 8/20/2014 9:19:32 AM I have natural nails and I do my own manicure weekly. This cuticle remover is great. Fast and effective. A bit pricey but the benefits make it worth the price.Best eyeliner - 7/31/2014 1:39:22 AM I absolutely love this liner, easy to use, only need one coat, very sexy liner. You need eye make up remover to get it off but it is definitely worth the purchase.Sophisticated nude - 5/28/2014 8:27:44 AM This is my go-to color when I don't want to go red or any darker shade. Superb coverage, and with two coats it does have a slight lavender undertone, but still my idea of a perfect nude. I always brush a bit across and under the nail tip to make my manicure last longer...and remember to wear rubber gloves when doing any dishes. Your manicure with last with minimal touch-up.Not my red - 5/16/2014 11:36:30 AM I love a deep, rich red nail lacquer, and that's what this appears to be in the online image. However, the actual color, when applied, is a chintzy looking cherry red, rather childish, not the sophisticated deep red I expected. I applied a coat of my favorite OPI "Kennebunkport" over it and was much more pleased with the result. Other than the choice of this color, I love the Butter London line of nail care and have converted to the full line.Great for dry lips - 5/16/2014 4:12:08 AM This is the best lipstick I've ever used. It has totally changed my lips. I used to have dry cracky lips, now they are never dry. It is also smooth and soft on my lips. Thanks butter! -
