There is no work in radeon drivers?
Phoronix: Last Minute For Linux 3.4: DMA-BUF PRIME Support
David Airlie has a last-minute pull request for the Linux 3.4 kernel following last week's main DRM pull. This latest Git pull request is set to introduce DMA-BUF PRIME support in the mainline kernel...
There is no work in radeon drivers?
Seeing as the fglrx binary blob works with switchable graphics I guess there is less need for this with Radeon but seeing how much r300 & r600 gets hacked on by community members I'm hoping this won't be an issue for long
It's a pretty minor amount of work to add support in radeon. No one has gotten to it yet.
I so looking forward to this
I'll finally be able to use my fancy Radeon card under linux - I've not even tried the binary blob - I've just been booting in to Win7 for games which fortunately isn't too often

LONDON, England -- Britain launched a rescue operation to recover the crew of a Canadian submarine after a fire on board the vessel in the Atlantic, the UK Ministry of Defense says.
The ministry said the British Coast Guard received a mayday call Tuesday morning from the HMCS Chicoutimi, a diesel-powered submarine, saying there was a fire on board.
Three people have been injured, none seriously, the ministry said.
Three ships are on the way to the submarine, which is about 100 miles northwest of Ireland, to pick up the 48-member crew. The ships are expected to arrive Wednesday morning.

Jo Robinson will speak at Seattle's Town Hall on June 17, 2013.
Humans once thrived on wild plants, but 400 generations of misguided farming methods have bred essential nutrients and fiber out of many modern fruits and vegetables, says Jo Robinson, a nationally recognized investigative journalist from Vashon Island. Robinson has spent the past 15 years delving into research on how we can restore vital nutrients to fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs and dairy products.
In her new book, Eating on the Wild Side, Robinson explores the nutritional history of fruits and vegetables and discusses how the evolution of farming unwittingly squandered essential fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants--leaving us more vulnerable to diseases including obesity, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic inflammation and dementia.

The Nats try to take three of four from the Giants tonight at Nationals Park.
The Nationals had planned all season to celebrate Military Appreciation Night during tonight's game against the Giants. Little did anyone know how appropriate that would be. Should make for a compelling scene tonight at Nationals Park.
As a reminder to anyone who doesn't know: Any active or retired members of the military are welcome to show IDs at the First Street SE box office beginning at 5:30 p.m. and receive four complimentary tickets for themselves and their families.
As for the actual game, the Nationals will be looking to win their third game in four days against the defending World Series champs. It's a matchup of left-handers, with Tom Gorzelanny going up against Madison Bumgarner. Slumping Adam LaRoche gets the night off, with Michael Morse at first base, Jerry Hairston in left field and Brian Bixler at third base.
Updates to come throughout the evening…
GIANTS at NATIONALS
Where: Nationals Park
Gametime: 7:05 p.m.
Radio: WJFK (106.7 FM), WFED (1500 AM), XM 188
Weather: Cloudy, 72 degrees, Wind 9 mph RF to LF
2B Danny Espinosa
CF Rick Ankiel
RF Jayson Werth
C Wilson Ramos

- NatsJack in Florida - May 2, 2011 at 7:50 PM
Wow!… This is interesting. Desmond 5th and Morse 6th?And Ankiel has actually hit lefties better than righties. I believe it's because his approach against them is more "make contact" instead of "yank it out of the park".
- Not Werth It - May 2, 2011 at 8:00 PM
Ramos at cleanup? I love it. .500 here we come.Vamos, Ramos!
- Anonymous8 - May 2, 2011 at 8:00 PM
If nothing else, Riggleman has lineup imagination. A well deserved day off for LaRoche.
- Cwj - May 2, 2011 at 8:33 PM
Taking 3 of 4 from the Giants would be great. LaRoche definitely needs a day off, but I worry if Morse can handle Desmond's rather interesting throws to first.Go Nats!
- Mark'd - May 2, 2011 at 8:42 PM
Desmond's throws? Cora and Hairston skipped their fair share!
- FOTB - May 2, 2011 at 8:53 PM
Just a short follow-up to some comments yesterday about Mark Z covering the Caps occasionally. I'm pretty sure he isn't happy, but, I'm surprised no one else noticed this pattern: He covered the Caps Friday night, they lost and the Nats won (beating the Freak, no less). He covered the Nats on Saturday, and they lost. He covered the Caps on Sunday, they lost and the Nats won. Coincidences? Let Mark cover the Caps for two more games, and we should have him back full-time on the Nats beat.
- Andrew - May 2, 2011 at 9:10 PM
Perfect timing for the Nats for Military Appreciation night! I know they planned this a long time ago and it just perfect. I hope the military show up by the 10's of thousands as I am sure the Lerner's would love to see Red, White and Blue all over the stadium.God Bless America!
- Doc - May 2, 2011 at 9:13 PM
Time for Riggleman to put HRod into the BP mix. He didn't have any problem doing that with lesser talents like Coffey and Gaudin, even if they had more 'experience'.As often described by other commenters, Riggleman has difficulty getting past the 'old boy network'!He's using Clip too much, and at some point he'll be abusing Stor. Sorta like Brian Cashman's criticism of Torrey.
- Mark'd - May 2, 2011 at 9:17 PM
Yep, Military get 4 tickets total per Military ID so they can bring family and friends.
- Doc - May 2, 2011 at 9:17 PM
I missed the Phillies-Mets game where fans in the stands were showing there cell phones with news about Osama Bin Laden biting the dust.That would have been awesome; wish I could catch up to it—it must have gone on for a few minutes!

Who knew the Giants were this bad. I didn't. I'll be disappointed if they don't take the series tonight. Course they could have had a sweep. It would have taken SO LITTLE to win that stinker of a game on Saturday. UGH!I hope this is a routine day off for LaRoche. I watched him all weekend and thought he looked like it hurt to walk. Goodness knows we need him to catch the adventurous throws from our infielders.Last post on the first month was great and drew some interesting comments. Very sorry I got home late and didn't get to comment. Perhaps something similar before too long, Mark.Go Nats!
- Doc - May 2, 2011 at 9:57 PM
@Anonymous8: Much thanks for the thread. I'm gonna watch it, and watch it, and watch it!Your right, we should declare time out in our Nats-Phillies feud—until tomorrow!

Being a retired Defense department Civil servant, who worked with many of our military personnel throughout my career. I salute you all.Enjoy the game.Go Nats
- Gonats - May 2, 2011 at 10:33 PM
carolync said… Who knew the Giants were this bad. I didn't._______________________________Way to give some credit to the Nats. The Giants have exceptional pitching and are struggling at the bat but how's about how well the Nats pitchers, catchers and defense did on shutting them down!
- Anonymous8 - May 2, 2011 at 10:39 PM
Pudge was brought up in the previous blog post and I heard Werth complimenting him in a post-game interview yesterday.If Pudge isn't a trade target where he brings back prospects, it gives Rizzo a nice option to consider making extending Pudge as a backup and trade Flores. I see Flores is doing well in Syracuse and he has to be coveted by many teams. Having 2 good young catchers is why the Twins considered trading Ramos in the first place so I think if Flores progresses at Syracuse they have Ramos, Pudge, Flores and Norris in the future. It is a good problem to have!

- David - May 2, 2011 at 11:40 PM
The Nats should trade Flores and a decent minor league arm to the Royals for 2B Johnny Giavotella. The kid can rake and he's got a real hitters eye. Do the Royals have a young major league ready catcher that they're high on? and then trade Desmond in a package at the end of the year. Move Espi back to SS, put Johnny G at 2B and he could be our leadoff in 2012. That's what I'd do.
- Candide - May 2, 2011 at 11:40 PM
Bumgarner stepping towards home team dugout, planting landing leg, then twisting as he throws across his body… isn't that the same motion that eventually put Detwiler on the DL last year with a bad hip?

The "hitless wonders" are at it again tonight.
- Manassas Nats Fan - May 3, 2011 at 12:13 AM
Pitching for both teams great. Through 5 both teams are 0 for 2 RISP.The April stats had the Nats second lowest strikes out. I would love to know how many were called third strikes. Seems the percentage is way too high compared to other teams.The first pitch to Morse right over the plate. the third a bit inside, but you cannot take it.
- JaneB - May 3, 2011 at 12:14 AM
Ankiel! Hairston! Great catches!
- Gonats - May 3, 2011 at 12:15 AM
Ramos smashed that ball and Desmond made a really nice sac bunt only to get stranded at 3rd since Morse could make no contact and Hairston was lost also.
- Aussie Gus - May 3, 2011 at 12:17 AM
I've got a little project at work that I am hoping the Insiders can help me with. I am looking for great examples of crowd interaction. I know it's not a popular example, but the Braves Chop is a great piece of crowd interaction. Can anyone suggest others from US sport? Doesn't have to be baseball, can be any sport, at any level, as long as I can find an example on youtube. Thanks in advance.

I have been waiting 28 games to see the Nats make a team pay for a mistake!Nice!!!!!!!! Personally I would have pulled Gorzelanny for a pinch hitter and turned it to the bullpen. Bases loaded with the pitcher on the hook at the bottom of the 7th is where I would have gone with it.
- TimDz - May 3, 2011 at 12:53 AM
Anon8: respectively disagree. Gorz is pitching a gem here. Still has a lot of movement on his pitches. Deserves a shot to continue…Morse needed that hit in the worst way…
- Aussie Gus - May 3, 2011 at 12:59 AM
Thanks guys, great examples! Much appreciated. I found the NY Rangers song after each goal. You guys know how to support a team over there.
- Mark'd - May 3, 2011 at 1:00 AM
TimDz, I don't disagree with you except it is a 2 run lead. Nothing to prove. The Nats need the W and Riggleman got lucky with the tying run on base. I think a 3 run lead he stays in the game.Glad it worked out. I just think Riggleman is bowing to fan pressure to let the starters go longer. It backfired in the Lannan game. Just sayin….

Okay, I'm gonna be real stupid and just say it. This is a better team than people give them credit for. Let me be the first to say the Nationals will win 90 games this season…Hmmm no, not really UNTERP. What is true, however, is that baseball beat writers Ben Geossling and Mark Zuckerman were completely wrong about Tom Gorzelanny. YOu want a #2 guy who can deal after Strasburg? Someone maybe left handed? John Lannan Ben? Hah!!!Better than a #5 starter that seems a good bet at this point. I'll bet you on that Natsjack. But it still doesn't mean they are going to win 70 games. They are going to have to deal Marquis (and hopefully Lannan before his value plummets) and then its get ready for 2012/2013 with much better prospects (especially pitchers), less decrepit veterans and a new manager.
- David - May 3, 2011 at 1:41 AM
Redskins fight song… duh. There's a lot of colleges with unique songs or chants after a score. Off the top of my head, Tulane has the "a one, a two, a hell of hullabaloo" chant.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - May 3, 2011 at 1:42 AM
I was surprised ti see Gorzelany considered a #5 on this staff, myself. Aussie, one of my favorites is the Phoenix Coyotes (NHL) fans, howling along with Warren Zevon on Werewolves of London when the 'yotes score.
- JaneB - May 3, 2011 at 1:59 AM
UNTERP, I'm with you. Including on how it's all Desmond's fault. :-)And I am a convert to Gorzelanny. I was mad we had him instead of Collin, I admit it.

Just got back from the game. Taking 3 out of 4 from the defending World Series champs feels pretty good, especially after the historic loss on Saturday. Now if the Nats can take 2 of 3 from the Phillies in Citizens Bank Park, I'll start drinking UNTERP's 90 win Kool-Aid.
- Grandstander - May 3, 2011 at 2:59 AM
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but to all who are high on Gorzo right now, were you watching the game? He was giving up a lot of fly balls and were it not for some outstanding defense, this could have gone the other way.I don't mean to take anything away from him, but he is what he is. Quite frankly, I felt like we were playing with house money this game and were lucky to take a win away from the hapless Giants. If Gorzo can do it again against the Fish, I'll start believing.As far as not batting for Gorzo in 7th, what amazing batter were we going to put in his stead? Alex Cora? Matt Stairs? Gorzo has as much a chance to get a hit as anyone on the bench. Might as well let him keep rolling.

Please stop saying 'we took 3 out of 4 from defending world series champs'. While the statement might be true, it does not mean as much because Giants are struggling too. Our pitching beat their pitching, which is great because Giants have one of the best rotations in baseball. Yeah, we should celebrate that fact. Even after dropping Danny from my fantasy team, he continues to struggle. Glad to know it wasn't me, but the leadoff spot is not suitable for the kid.

Thanks for this information!
Honestly, it was a extremely difficult to find one of the PCI-Cards here in Europe. Nearly everything you find is PCIe. I live in Germany and the only shops I could find which sell those cards were from the US, but they wouldn't ship this item to Europe for some reason. (NewEgg, Tigerdirect and even Amazon.com)
Finally I came across a German Onlineshop which sells one of the Sparcle-cards for 60, which is about $ 76. Crap! I believe, there is a very small market for PCI-cards here in EU.

Is there any apps out there using OpenGL 3 yet?
I wonder if Mesa might skip OpenGL 3 entirely and work on OpenGL 4 support instead
Phoronix: Khronos Releases OpenGL 3.3 & OpenGL 4.0
The Khronos Group has been updating the OpenGL 3.x spec about every six months and with OpenGL 3.2 having been released last August, we expected OpenGL 3.3 would be announced soon and figured it may come this week during the Game Developers' Conference in San Francisco. Well, it did. Not only did Khronos releases the OpenGL 3.3 specification, but they have also went ahead and already released OpenGL 4.0!..
Is there any apps out there using OpenGL 3 yet?
I wonder if Mesa might skip OpenGL 3 entirely and work on OpenGL 4 support instead
The Steam+Mac deal will have a great impact and forces AMD/nVidia to work more on their OpenGL code. The Source engine and its games are coming next month and will probably use OpenGL 3.x as a first step. If you know your german, here's something about developers planning to port their games to Mac now after the Steam deal:
I'm really pleased that Khronos have gotten their act together, it makes OpenGL look far more respectable too.
wow, this is amazing.. now i'm kind of glad i waited to take up opengl programming. i can learn gl4 from scratch instead of learning 2 then 3 then 4. i just hope that gl4 is going to be stable. as in, not be replaced by gl5 anytime soon.
i completely agree. the blob drivers are about to get a whole lot faster, better, and more opengl optimised(directx on my card is much faster than opengl). and yes, i know that sounds really optimistic..The Steam+Mac deal will have a great impact and forces AMD/nVidia to work more on their OpenGL code. The Source engine and its games are coming next month...
but this is exciting stuff.
I'm impressed at the rate Mesa is progressing. Just writing a specification doesn't mean much if it isn't implemented. Mesa isn't magically further behind over night.
There is not much difference between OpenGL 3.0 and 4.0. Ok there are a lot of new features but the general way to draw something is the same since OpenGL 3.0. (If you do not use the old <OpenGL 3.0 stuff).
Geometry is sent to the Vertex Shaders (using Vertex Buffer objects) which processes it vertex by vertex and then the fragment shader computes the pixel colors for the rasterized geometry. This will be the same with OpenGL 4.0.
The difference is that you're able to do a lot more with the new shader types and other provided features but you don't have to use them. Forward compatible OpenGL 3.0 code will work with GL4 without changes (but it's important to program forward compatible - that means the same as using the core profile of opengl 3.2 - i.e. glBegin()/glEnd(), DisplayLists etc. are not allowed to use)
If you want to learn the new way of OpenGL programming then I can remommend Beginning OpenGL game programming, Second Edition. It tells you how to use OpenGL 3.0 from scratch without the old GL2 stuff.
It'd be interesting to hear ird's opinion on the two new specs, especially considering GLU3 is progressing nicely (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~idr/glu3/).
To clear some things up. Nvidia will likely release OpenGL 3.3 drivers soon (I guess the same for AMD). In case of Nvidia OpenGL 4.0 has to wait until the release of the Geforce GTX4*0 by the end of this month since a Direct3D11-capable GPU is required for OpenGL 4.0.
Yes, OpenGL 4.0 allows us to implement Direct3D11 in Wine but don't expect it any time soon. Our Direct3D10 is still not even finished.

A monstrous and potentially catastrophic cyclone is taking aim on India, with sustained winds estimated at about 161 mph as of Friday, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. This is equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane.
Gusts are as high as 195 mph. It's close to being the strongest storm ever recorded in the Indian Ocean.
The storm (named Phailin) is so large it fills nearly the entire Bay of Bengal, which is part of the Indian Ocean.
Officials ordered at least 40,000 coastal villagers to flee their homes Friday, and authorities plan to take another 100,000 people to safer areas before the cyclone hits.
The "effects to the Indian coast ... in terms of surge will be catastrophic, with the potential to erase most houses, crops and infrastructure," reported WeatherBell meteorologist Ryan Maue on his Twitter account.
Phailin is likely to be the strongest tropical cyclone to affect India in 14 years, when a fierce cyclone hit the east coast of India, killing almost 10,000 people, according to meteorologist Jeff Masters of the Weather Underground.
The weather models meteorologists use to forecast storms are in tight agreement that Phailin will track northwest into the northeast coast of India, with landfall expected to occur Saturday, Masters said.
The storm should hit in India's Orissa state, reported the typhoon warning center. The state has a population of close to 40 million people, the Odisha government website noted, and has about 700 people per square mile.
Cyclones form in the Indian Ocean, and are the same type of storm as a hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean and a typhoon in the western Pacific. They are all known by the umbrella term "tropical cyclones."
Cyclones that form in the Bay of Bengal can be among the deadliest natural catastrophes in the world. Twenty-six of the thirty-five deadliest tropical cyclones in world history have been Bay of Bengal storms, according to Masters.
In fact, during the past two centuries, 42% of Earth's deaths from tropical cyclones have occurred in Bangladesh, and 27% have occurred in India, Masters reports.
A single cyclone that hit Bangeldesh in 1970 killed between 300,000 and 500,000 people.
"Phailin" means "sapphire" in the Thai language.

A Chinese Instacart clone raises $100 million
Dmall takes grocery orders online and employs workers who buy the items in supermarkets and delivery them quickly to consumers.
Consumers are dipping their toes in the m-commerce waters.
According a recent Adobe Scene7 poll, mobile commerce is on the rise. However, a closer look shows consumers still favor safe, low-cost items when shopping via their smartphones.
The poll of consumers with web-connected mobile devices, primarily smartphones, finds 62% are buying via their devices. The poll weeds out digital goods such as ringtones, wallpapers, etc., to only include physical goods. So, we're not dealing with 99-cent Angry Birds games here. But a closer look finds m-commerce still has a long way to go before it catches up with big brother e-commerce.
The greatest segment of mobile shoppers, 45%, spent $249 or less via mobile during the last 12 months, the report says. By comparison, the average annual online spend per shopper in 2010 was $1,139, according to an estimate from research firm eMarketer.
Next, let's look at what they buy. The most purchased consumer goods category is shrink-wrapped entertainment, including movies, music and games, purchased by 43% of the respondents who shopped on mobile devices. The next largest category is a smaller portion, 30%, for clothing, shoes and jewelry. And it's just a hunch, but I'm betting smitten males aren't buying an engagement ring via a smartphone just yet.
To me theses figures show hope, but also illustrate m-commerce still has a long way to go—which also means it has a lot of potential. I remember the day when consumers scoffed at the idea of buying big-ticket and visual-centric items via their PCs. My how that has changed. A good friend of mine got engaged a few weeks ago. Where did her fiancé buy the ring? BlueNile.com.
For now, mobile is a lot like the beginnings of e-commerce. People are dipping their toes in the water, but for big-ticket items, the water may still be a bit too cool. However, basic concerns, such as inputting credit card data via a mobile device or wondering if an order will go through, are not as major as when the concept of shopping from a phone was brand new. Part of that is because consumers are so used to buying digitally via their PCs.
Smartphone owners are becoming fairly comfortable buying items that are content-based rather than appearance-based—a DVD they heard was great, a book a friend recommended, etc. But they are still shying away from the biggies.
So what will it take for M to catch up with E? Part of it will simply be a matter of giving consumers time—and there's not a whole lot a retailer can do about that. In the meantime, retailers should focus on making it easy to shop from a mobile device. Quick checkout, alternate images, and ratings and reviews can't hurt. After all, it's those very features that helped move more shoppers to buy online when a computer was the only option.

Lyons Square Playground
Aldus St to Bruckner Blvd bet. Bryant Av and Longfellow Av
Directions via Google Maps
Lyons Square, bounded by Bruckner Boulevard, Aldus Street, Longfellow Avenue, and Bryant Avenue, was named for landowner and Civil War veteran James L. Lyons by the Board of Aldermen on April 17, 1928.
Lyons was a charter member of the Bronx Oldtimers Association which was founded in 1911 by the Bronx's first Borough President, Louis Haffen, for people who had lived in the Bronx for fifty years or more. Lyons' estate was nearby on Forest Avenue between Home Street and Boston Road. Previously, his estate had belonged to Colonel Richard Hoe, for whom Hoe Avenue was named.
James L. Lyons should not be confused with a prominent 20th Century Bronxite, James J. Lyons, who served twenty-eight years as Borough President from 1934 to 1961.

Multiple Boot Environments
(Sorry for the inconvenience)
Beginning with version 9.1, PC-BSD® supports multiple boot environments (BEs) on systems that were formatted with ZFS during installation. In 9.1, this feature is managed from the command line. Version 9.2 will provide a graphical interface for managing boot environments.
txt=Missing Link[1] is a feature originally created by Solaris. By default, the root of a ZFS filesystem is considered to be a BE, since you can boot into it. Multiple boot environments allow you to create additional BEs, or bootable, point-in-time snapshots of the root ot the ZFS filesystem. By booting into an alternate BE, you return to that point in time in the root filesystem. For example, if you create a BE before upgrading, you could configure the system to boot into that BE should the upgrade fail and you wish to return to what the root filesystem looked like before the upgrade. Alternately, you could create a snapshot BE to install and configure some software that you wish to test. Simply boot into that BE and perform your test installations. When you are finished your tests, set the system to boot back into the original BE.
Understanding Boot Environments
Read this section before using multiple boot environments so that you understand what will and will not be preserved when booting into an alternate BE.
Managing Boot Environments
BE's are managed with the beadm command which must be run as the superuser. The following example creates a BE named beforeupgrade. The new BE is a clone of the current BE, the ZFS environment that you booted into.
beadm create beforeupgrade Created successfully
To view all BEs, use the list command
beadm list BE Active Mountpoint Space Policy Created default NR / 6.05G static 2012-07-09 05:06 beforeupgrade - - 1K static 2012-07-10 12:25
The possible flags in the Active field are as follows:
- R: active on reboot
- N: active now
- -: inactive
In this example, the current BE is called default, it is active now and at next reboot, and is mounted. The newly created beforeupgrade BE exists, but is inactive and unmounted. To activate the new BE:
beadm activate beforeupgrade Activated successfully beadm list BE Active Mountpoint Space Policy Created default N / 64.5K static 2012-07-09 05:06 beforeupgrade R - 6.05G static 2012-07-10 12:25
The flags now indicate that the system is currently booted into default, but at next boot the system will boot into beforeupgrade. Only one boot environment can be active at a time.

Extensive information about children's books, video and audio recordings and other children-focused media. The CLCD presently contains more than 1,400,000 catalog records in MARC format that have children's headings assigned. In addition, the database contains more than 130,000 critical reviews of thousands of children's books, ranging from the earliest baby board books to novels and nonfiction for young adults. Search for specific subjects, titles, authors, and see the associated reviews, prepare annotated lists/bibliographies, identify reading levels, and link to author/illustrator sites and curriculum tools.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Yep. 3 weeks sober. I entertained friends last Thursday and Friday evening. When the drink order came around I declined. A hush went over my peeps...LOL...They were amazed that I had quit. In fact two friends confided in me later that they feel trapped, at the mercy of alcohol. I felt the same for many many years, and, still do at times.
Maybe if they see I can do it, they will find their own inner strength.
I'm kinda in LOVE with being sober. Thanks for all you on this site....blessings.

I'm curious if they'll be able to avoid putting some of that stuff under the GPL. They may have to get at some symbols that are only exported to GPL licensed modules. They might be able to do it for DTrace, but I'm not so sure about the Zones.
Phoronix: Oracle Plans To Bring DTrace To Linux
One of the interesting announcements coming out of the Oracle OpenWorld conference this week in San Francisco is word that the company plans to bring DTrace to Linux. In particular, they want the Sun DTrace technology in their Unbreakable Linux Kernel...
I'm curious if they'll be able to avoid putting some of that stuff under the GPL. They may have to get at some symbols that are only exported to GPL licensed modules. They might be able to do it for DTrace, but I'm not so sure about the Zones.
I doubt that DTrace could be made into a loadable module. Wouldn't it be too invasive in too many areas of the kernel for it not to be?
They'd have to sprinkle all manner of hooks in their GPL'd kernel which when enabled target something in a single proprietary module. Sure, that's possible, but you'd think that the maintenance upkeep on keeping all of that working and tested version after version to lose them more money than they'd likely gain.
That and it's hard to see how DTrace alone would make someone move from RHEL to OUL, or that there would be so many of them that it be profitable for Oracle to do this (in the obscured manner Michael alluded to).
It leaves me to wonder if they're not going to make a shim on top of the current tracing infrastructure that speaks DTrace, to make it easier to push their Solaris clients to Linux, hoping they'll choose OUL instead of RHEL. This would allow Oracle, if btrfs matures and/or a ZFS port follows, to move development resources from Solaris to Linux over time.
Time will tell.
At this point of time, the only thing required for Linux to achieve theoretical feature-parity with DTrace is to merge uprobes into the main kernel.
This is really really good news! Now Systemtap and all the other crappy copies can rest in piece and Linux can get the original and unique DTrace that every developer wants!
Well, I worked with both STap and DTrace. I can't say that STap is worse than DTrace.
It's just not used that much. Mostly because dynamic tracing is not required that often - in reality it's mostly a debugging tool.
At one time Solaris zones, like dtrace, was a killer feature. But I've used openvz/PVC for some time and they seem to be as good or better than solaris zones. If oracle expends the effort to port the solaris flavor of containers to their increasingly divergent linux variant, then we'll have at least 5 separate overlapping OS level virtualization solutions on linux. Oracle zones (Ozones?), LXC, Vserver, OpenVZ and PVC. How cool would it be if instead of further fragmenting the picture, Oracle would help out with one of the existing container implementations...
There is already a DTrace for Linux as a loadable module.
Stop calling software "technology". Dtrace is a program. You act as if it's something super amazingly special and that it'd be impossible for anyone else to duplicate it (like strace?).
Most people agree that BTRFS is a ZFS copy, but less mature. Maybe 3-5 years from now, BTRFS will be released as v1.0. But ZFS development has carried on even further, so BTRFS will still lag behind ZFS. Do you also suggest that Oracle should kill ZFS, and help out with ZFS instead? To decrease fragmentation? ZFS is superior to BTRFS, much more mature and used in Enterprise production today. BTRFS is a copy. Why kill the original, and help out with the copy instead?
The same with Solaris containers. IBM has also copied Solaris containers, and are calling it WPAR(?). If Linux has lot of immature filesystems or lot of immature container implementations - why kill the original and help out with a copy? Wouldn't it be better if Linux killed all immature alpha phase containers and instead helped out with the original superior ZFS and Solaris Containers?

Talented young arms meet when A's face Rays
Pomeranz, Odorizzi look to build off recent strong outings
Jake Odorizzi will look to cool off the red hot A's on Tuesday when he takes the mound for the Rays.
Odorizzi, who had his best Major League start on Wednesday against the Mariners, will have his work cut out for him against Oakland, winners of nine of its last 10 games.
The 24-year-old held Seattle scoreless on one hit and two walks -- while striking out seven -- over six innings, as he picked up his second win of the season.
"It felt good coming out," said Odorizzi, now 2-3 with a 4.89 ERA through eight starts, of his last outing. "The hitters tell you what your stuff is like. They didn't put any hard contact on it, so we kept going to it. Kept bringing it up higher and higher in the zone to see if they kept swinging at it, and a lot of them did."
Entering Sunday, the A's had scored and American-League leading 222 runs and owned a .341 on base percentage.
Oakland will send Drew Pomeranz to the hill, as it enters its second series of a nine-game road trip.
Pomeranz, who started the year as a reliever, has gone from the bullpen to the rotation, seemingly without batting an eye.
In two starts since joining the rotation, Pomeranz has not allowed a run over 10 innings of work. Facing the Rays on Tuesday, Oakland manager Bob Melvin said Pomeranz will have a chance to work deeper into the game.
"It has been pretty remarkable for him to go out the first time and give us 70 pitches, the next time give us 80-some pitches, and now be in a situation where you're looking at maybe 100 pitches, maybe a little below that," Melvin said.
Pomeranz's ability to change his role without needing a stint in the Minors to stretch out impressed Oakland's skipper, and it has helped the A's continue their early season roll.
"It's a credit to him and his belief in himself and what he can do," Melvin said. "It's really been terrific. We don't have to send a guy down and stretch him out. All the credit goes to him for being able to do it -- and do it at this pace."
In his manager's eyes, Pomeranz -- a former first-round Draft pick of the Indians before being traded to the Rockies and then to Oakland in December -- has a sky-high ceiling. With Pomeranz thriving in his new surroundings, the proof is in the lefty's numbers.
"A change of scenery is a lot about the mental battles," Melvin said. "You say, 'OK, deep breath, I can start over.'
"The ability has always been there. I mean, he got drafted where he got drafted for a reason."
Pomeranz has 19 strikeouts in his last 15 1/3 innings, and he's getting guys out without a windup. The loss of power isn't enough to make Melvin and pitching coach Curt Young consider tinkering with what has been working.
"There is a benefit based on a little more power," Melvin said. "With him, it's always been about throwing strikes. If he can stay in the stretch -- and he's more comfortable with that -- it's a bit more routine-oriented for him, where he's doing the same thing every time, I'm all for it."
A's: Expectant dad Savery sent to Triple-A Sacramento
Left-hander Joe Savery left the team after Sunday's game to be with his wife for the birth of their first child.
Oakland initially planned to put Savery on the paternity list, but instead, he was sent down to Triple-A Sacramento, to make room for Jeff Francis on the active roster.
Savery threw the final two scoreless innings in Sunday's 13-3 win, giving up two hits and walking one.
Rays: Struggling at home
Since 2008, the Rays have had a distinct advantage over opposing teams while playing at Tropicana Field. However, this season they are just 8-12 at home.
"We just have to play better there," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "We just haven't done that. Last homestand was a tough one for us. We've played a little better on the road. I really believe it's all going to straighten itself out. I believe that sincerely.
"... I think there's a lot more offensive push in us. We need to do that to win some more 5-4, 6-5 games, that kind of stuff. But I believe we're going to right ourselves at home. ... If we keep the starting rotation where it's at and keep getting good performances there and start scoring a couple of more runs, I think we're going to be just fine."
Worth noting
• The Rays have signed veteran infielder Jayson Nix to a Minor League deal. Nix joined Triple-A Durham on Saturday and was in the lineup at second base for the Bulls. He has a .216 career average, with 38 home runs and 128 RBIs, in stints with the Rockies, White Sox, Indians, Blue Jays, Yankees, and Phillies.
•The Rays have nine players with at least three home runs.

My sponsor and I were talking about how we used to hear the topic of "Expectations" in meetings a lot and now we don't anymore.
Please share your experience on this.
Are expectations unrealistic? Am I just setting myself up for disappointment & resentment?
Or are they a natural human tendency, especially in the area of promises & commitments?
Thanks for letting me expect!

It is the students' responsibility to attend and participate appropriately in all activities (such as lectures, tutorials, laboratories and practical work) scheduled for them, and to study all material provided to them or required to be accessed by them to maximise their chance of meeting the objectives of the course and to be informed of course-related activities and administration. -
Requirements for students to complete each assessment item satisfactorily:
To satisfactorily complete an individual assessment item a student must achieve at least 50% of the marks. (Depending upon the requirements in Statement 4 below, students may not have to satisfactorily complete each assessment item to receive a passing grade in this course.) -
Penalties for late submission of required work:
If students submit assignments after the due date without prior approval of the examiner, then a penalty of 5% of the total marks gained by the student for the assignment may apply for each working day late up to ten working days at which time a mark of zero may be recorded. -
Requirements for student to be awarded a passing grade in the course:
To be assured of receiving a passing grade a student must achieve at least 50% of the total weighted marks available for the course. -
Method used to combine assessment results to attain final grade:
The final grades for students will be assigned on the basis of the aggregate of the weighted marks obtained for each of the summative assessment items in the course. -
Examination information:
This is a restricted examination. Candidates are allowed access to specific materials during the examination. The only materials that candidates may use in the examination for this course are:- writing materials (non-electronic and free from material which could give the student an unfair advantage in the examination)

- English translation dictionaries (but not technical dictionaries).
Examination period when Deferred/Supplementary examinations will be held:

University Student Policies:
Students should read the USQ policies: Definitions, Assessment and Student Academic Misconduct to avoid actions which might contravene University policies and practices. These policies can be found at http://policy.usq.edu.au.
Assessment notes
- The due date for an assignment is the date by which a student must submit the assignment to the USQ.
- Students must retain a copy of each item submitted for assessment. This must be produced within 24 hours if required by the examiner.
- In accordance with university policy, the examiner may grant an extension of the due date of an assignment in extenuating circumstances.
Course weightings:
Course weightings of topics should not be interpreted as applying to the number of marks allocated to questions testing those topics in an examination paper. The examination may test material already tested in assignments. -
Referencing in assignments:
Harvard (AGPS) is the referencing system required in this course. Students should use Harvard (AGPS) style in their assignments to format details of the information sources they have cited in their work. The Harvard (AGPS) style to be used is defined by the USQ Library's referencing guide at http://www.usq.edu.au/library/referencing. -
Deferred work:
Students who, for medical, family/personal, or employment-related reasons, are unable to complete an assignment or to sit for an examination at the scheduled time may apply to defer an assessment in a course. Such a request must be accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation and students should apply before the scheduled date of the assessment.

Industry Trends
DIY Time for Pension Funds?
Returns are under pressure and funding gaps are growing. One way pension funds are combatting that is by managing more of their portfolios themselves. We talked to more than 130 senior pension fund executives around the world and found that this DIY approach extends to every corner of operations and governance. But how far can they go it alone and where do they need outside experts?
