Phoronix: It's Time To Test The Radeon/Intel/Nouveau Drivers
The Fedora Project is once again organizing test days to happen for the Nouveau, Radeon, and Intel open-source Linux graphics drivers to just not improve the driver support for Fedora Linux but to benefit upstream as well...
We need to mass-"spam" this! Thanks, Michael!
Nouveau on Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal (beta) crashes when attempting to run Weston 0.95 (weston-launcher).
Thanks for the announce, Michael!
On the wayland topic - I think someone mentioned yesterday that wayland/weston in Fedora have reached the point where they can render a terminal. which is cool, but still probably a bit early to incorporate into the Test Week I'll check the status again for future test weeks and add wayland testing once it seems like it'd be useful.
Is radeon actually ready for GCN by now?

Over the last six months, I've talked with numerous customers and partners. One thing is clear: People get it. Connecting employees, vendors, partners, and customers — so they can work together with no barriers — makes sense. It saves money and time, and builds relationships.
It seems like overnight we landed in a post-PC world — a place where working from anywhere, anytime is how it is every day. Two technology trends are driving this new work-style while embracing the existing IT landscape: cloud-based applications and smart mobile devices.
Cloud-based services are already familiar in the consumer world — with music, storage, and social media — and in the business world with customer relationship management (CRM) and other transactional applications. The software-as-a-service (SaaS) model offers well-known benefits to IT — such as rapid deployment, flexibility to meet changes in demand, and the ability to shift costs from capital to a predictable operating expenses — all while providing an "always on" service that is available anytime, anywhere.
I keep coming back to that: anytime, anywhere. It is the touchstone for this new work model. Smart mobile devices are the perfect complements to cloud-based services. We can have consistent access to information from different devices and locations throughout the working day. Check email, join a conference call, or participate in a video conference — all from your smartphone, notebook, tablet, or desktop. Whether you are on the road, in the office, or at home — place doesn't matter. The Cisco WebEx cloud collaboration applications are hosted on the Cisco WebEx Cloud, a platform that supports nearly two billion meeting minutes per month between 30 million participants in 231 countries.
The architecture, infrastructure, and operational procedures were all designed to deliver an enterprise-class collaboration service. The Cisco WebEx Cloud employs enterprise-grade security measures from the platform to the meeting, with stringent data privacy and integrated policy controls. Annual third-party audits validate these measures for compliance with rigorous industry standards. For more information, read the whitepaper entitled Unleash the Power of Highly Secure, Real-time Collaboration.
The Cisco WebEx Cloud includes multiple internet points of presence (iPoPs) and data centers throughout the world to optimize performance. This allows high-quality business interactions to be extended to more employees, partners, customers, and experts.
Another benefit of this intelligent network design is continuous service availability. All traffic is globally load balanced between servers and switches throughout the cloud and automatically replicated to a physically separate backup node. These measures ensure resources are always available — whether for scheduled or ad hoc usage — at any time of day or night.
Folks often ask about the top things they should be thinking about when evaluating cloud-based collaboration.
I recommend focusing on high availability/resilience, scalability, performance, security, user productivity, offline productivity, and investment protection. Vendor selection is also a key concern. Consider maturity and vision in the choosing your vendors. We recently posted a whitepaper on this topic. Read it for more details.

TCR Advanced 0 (2012)Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)Found a store doing this for $3250 for 2013 model... Now to figure out whether to try and save money by getting the uglier 2012 instead. HMM.
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)
I'd grab that deal with both hands! It's a bit warmer here than Scotland isn't it!
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)For sure, still very much current model that is for sure. I paid $3600 for my 2013 Defy Advanced 0 on release.

2012 Giant TCR Advanced SL0 2012 Masi Soulville SS
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)Heard of anyone doing deals on the "not arriving until 2013" SL 0?
It's a bit warmer here than Scotland isn't it!
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)
i like the 2012 frame. until i swapped all the DI2 over to this one.. the silver frame became 105 equipped flog the !! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !! out of it training bike now..
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)now explain to me why the US get these colour schemes
That looks awesome IMO
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)Just put down the deposit on a 2013
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)
The photo does not load.
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)Post the link
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)Okay, I'll try again:
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)Yep and agree nice
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)Its a different bike. It's the special edition normally done with Rabobank plastered all over it but since they have pulled sponsorship this year, I guess this is it. In previous years it was normally white.
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)Agree the colour scheme looks very nice on the US model! The red TCR looks great too! I find it funny that colours I thought in the shop did not look great are actually very sweet on the street!
A cautionary tale with the TCR and the clearance between the rear tyre and frame - I managed to cycle over some kind of roofing screw on my way back from Eastern Creek Raceway a few weeks ago. It stuck in the tyre and managed to go under the rear brake caliper, which actually helped drive the screw right into the tyre. It then proceeded to scratch the rear of the frame as the head of the screw was just a bit thicker than the gap between the tyre and frame! I would of been doing 40 km/h at that time so i did 2 or 3 revolutions before I stopped, wondering what the hell was going on! Nasty scratch on the bike now albeit in a place you can hardy see. I'll have to hit it with fine sand paper and then some Giant blue nail polish - can't wait to drop in to Priceline and ask for that! lol JM
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)That same thing happened with my old TCR Advanced 2 last year on the way back from La Perouse.
Nail sitting proud in the tyre and it went under the caliper and into the rear of the frame. Not too much damage but annoying. New SL is scratch free as of yesterday, that'll change though.
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)
$2300. In the Blue mountains.
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)
You stole it! It's a bit warmer here than Scotland isn't it!
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)Hi Gents
Finally changed seat/bartape on TCR Adv 0 (2013) to blac/black. IMO looks a lot better than dirty white! Will try to post a pic when I get home this evening. JM
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)I'm looking into one of these myself this afternoon, hopefully with the Di2. I'll keep my Trek as the Alloy framed everyday bike and the Giant Adv. 0 for the special purposes. Maybe get them to swap over my 3T stem to it as well.
I really want to see if I can get one at $3000 if possible. I'd thought of upgrading my existing Trek to Di2, but it's not cost effective. How is the adjustment on the saddle up and down - looks like the tube narrows at one point.
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)Adjustment is fine there is plenty of room. You can use these as an every day bike no probs they are very tough. As for 3k they are around I paid that for mine last December its a 2013.
Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk 2
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)Check Ebay as there has been some very well priced Di2 Giant bikes on there of late. Seen a 2013 Defy Advanced 0 (like mine) for $2.5k. for my resale!
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)Thanks Marty! I may be able to knock them down on price again, because I don't need wheels. I've got so many wheels around the place it isn't funny.
I'll just have my HED 65mm clinchers on the Giant and the Trek can have the alloys. Easy - and no longer swapping brake pads over when changing the wheels.
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)I did take a look at a 2013 TCR Adv. 0 yesterday - very nice bike and just with the standard wheels, the same weight as my Trek at the moment. But the store also had a Cervelo R3 - also very nice, though it had only mechanical Ultegra.
The Cervelo had some pretty basic wheels on it, so I expect putting my carbon ones on it... Hmm - tough choice. But the easy choice is to not get a 2013 Trek. Edit: I'm now the owner of a Giant TCR Advanced SL3. $4500 all up. It's on alloy wheels and is fitted with Ultegra Di2.
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)As I mentioned above, I've joined the list of Giant owners:
My new ride: Ultegra Di2 on it, frame is TCR Advanced SL3. Still to do: - Get my normal front wheel back (it's getting work done on it - nothing major) - swap some new bidon cages to it (these ones from my other bike) - Work out how to put a rear light on it for those times I need it - manage to find time to take it out for a decent ride - I only just got it yesterday. Really itching to ride it quickly.
Re: TCR Advanced 0 (2012)Knog make a pretty good light that goes easily onto my TCR seat post (non-ISP, vector shape ie not round).

We purchased this player because it came with Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc. and seemed to have all the bells and whistles for under $100. That should have been our first warning. The player worked great out of the box. It would lag in response time, but nothing you couldn't live with. However, after a couple weeks that response time got longer and longer, and eventually it wouldn't respond to simple commands. You would have to completely unplug the player and plug it back in for it to work. So we returned it for a new one. We had the same issues with the new one, but this time the wifi stopped working as well. We returned it for a full refund. My advice, don't buy a cheap blu-ray player, spend the money and do some research to get a good one.
I purchased this dvd player in January 2013, it was constantly slow to read dvds & would have to eject & enter again for it to read discs. It completely.stopped playing DVDs in November. I am extremely upset & dissapointed to find out there is only a 90 day warranty. Very cheap product for the money paid. Very unhappy!
Nothing more to say. Very satisfied. This wants 50 characters, so maybe this time it will be sufficient.

Stinson draws Toronto squad seeking spark
A scuffling offense searching for traction will test its fortunes against a pitcher making only his second big league start when the Blue Jays close out their three-game series against the Orioles on Wednesday afternoon at Camden Yards.
Toronto has lost six of eight after dropping the first two games of the series and has scored more than four runs only once since April 12. In 21 games overall, the Blue Jays have managed three runs or fewer 13 times and have five games with five hits or fewer. Jose Reyes is on the disabled list after a hot start, while Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion are both hovering around the Mendoza Line.
"The good teams have everybody doing something. But yeah, there's no question they're in the middle of our lineup, they're our big guys," manager John Gibbons said. "They will, they're going to get it going. But you look up and down our lineup, there has been a number of guys that have been hit or miss. They've been kind of cold. We feel good once that happens, we have a pretty good team."
On Wednesday, Toronto will face Josh Stinson, whom the Orioles claimed off waivers April 4 and will add to their 25-man roster before the game. The 25-year-old right-hander is 0-2 with a 4.43 ERA in 20 career games, and his only start came last Oct. 3 for the Brewers, as he gave up one run in four innings against the Padres. He has a 1.32 ERA in 13 2/3 Minor League innings this year.
The Orioles needed a starter for the game thanks to a rainout last Friday and a subsequent doubleheader. They chose Stinson over two more experienced pitchers currently at Triple-A Norfolk: Zach Britton and Freddy Garcia.
"I'm very excited," Stinson said. "Any time you get claimed, obviously the team sees something in you. And to be in the big leagues this fast, it is a great opportunity for me and I'm just going to try to take it and run with it."
The Blue Jays will counter with Brandon Morrow (0-2, 5.57 ERA). The right-hander struggled on Friday against the Yankees, giving up seven runs -- five earned -- on nine hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Blue Jays: Slow start for Encarnacion
Encarnacion hit .322 with eight home runs, 21 RBIs and a 1.054 OPS in April last season, setting the stage for a breakout campaign.
He hasn't found the same success early in 2013, hitting .208 with three home runs and a .658 OPS. Encarnacion was on a 1-for-16 slide until Tuesday, when he hit a three-run homer and walked twice, and Gibbons suggested he's been running into some tough luck.
"He hit a couple of balls that Vernon [Wells] robbed him the other day at home," Gibbons said. "He's hitting some balls on the money. He just isn't getting a whole lot of things to show for it."
Orioles: Johnson slamming the door
Closer Jim Johnson has converted 29 consecutive save opportunities going back to last July 30, giving him the longest active streak in the Majors and the second longest in franchise history. He trails only Randy Myers, who saved 34 straight during the 1997 season.
Johnson has yet to allow an earned run in 11 innings this year, racking up eight saves. He leads the Majors with 66 since Sept. 7, 2011, blowing only three chances during that span.
• With Stinson being recalled for Wednesday's game, the Orioles likely will option reliever Alex Burnett back to Triple-A Norfolk. Burnett was recalled on Monday when Jake Arrieta was sent down.
Worth noting
• Orioles center fielder Adam Jones is 11-for-28 (.393) against Morrow, with three home runs and nine RBIs.
• Emilio Bonifacio is the only Blue Jays player with regular-season experience against Stinson, going 1-for-1.

Not wanting to start thinking about work yet on Monday morning, so this topic came to my mind. It would be interesting to hear stories from some posters on CF. What was the one greatest sports moment/story in your life that you accomplished. It could be from early years, high school, or even college if you were lucky enough to play. Lets hear em! 'Scuss
Can't think of a great individual moment in a game (lots of team moments), but the best individual feeling was waking up to a voicemail from my high school football coach that I had made the Des Moines Register's All-State football team. Going to get a copy of the paper later that day and seeing my name in it was a huge validation of all the work I had put in over the years.
Finishing the Des Moines Marathon was a huge accomplishment. An even bigger accomplishment was not hurling the Natty Ice or whatever terrible beer they were giving out for free at the finish line.
I beat two future all big ten safties on a play for the "greatest catch I've ever seen in high school football" - Bob Brooks.
I qualified for the state wrestling tournament. I wasnt supposed to. I had a tough district. First round I got smoked by the kid that ended up third in state and in the wrestle backs i faced a kid that had beat me 3-1, 8-1, 9-1 when i met him during the regular season. I took him down and caught him in a cradle in the first period. The crowd and my coaches went crazy. I still watch that video when i need a pick me up.
In high school cc there was one race at Johnston where coming into the final straightaway I was something like thirty or forty feet behind the kid in front of me but was able to beat him in a sprint to the finish when I passed him on our last stride. I felt like Rudy
I had a pretty big chest when I got voted captain of my small college football team, twice was the player of the week (as an O-lineman, unfortunately both times was with losses), Nothing huge, but at the time it sure felt good. One moment I will never forget is breaking up a no hitter in high school in the 7th to the best pitcher in our conference by knocking a triple off the right field wall. Of course I was stranded there when the game ended. I was on a coaching staff that won a state title. That was pretty awesome
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
Hitting an inside the park home run my 3rd game playing varsity. It was the only way all 6'1" 150 of me was ever going to hit a home run.
I got the Most Improved Player during my senior year on my high school basketball team...because I spent most of my junior year on the bench with a leg injury.
not sure how i'd rate them but here's what i got: A) clearing 6'2" in high jump when i was 5'10" (hs) B) finishing 8th in the distance med at state despite our anchor leg dropping the baton (hs) C) selected as one of about 6 players from the state of iowa to represent on the all midwest rugby team. (isu)
Winning ISU soccer intramurals twice! ...and being named a high school all-american swimmer.
I gave up 17 Earned Runs to Colfax-Mingo. In 3 2/3 innings. I think this is why I drink so much.
Originally Posted by PabloDiablo Winning ISU soccer intramurals twice! Co-ed Soccer has some really weird rules and I can't ever find enough players for mens.
I went to Iowa State even though my dad wanted me to stay in Cedar Rapids and go to Coe, he was worried ISU would be too big and I wouldn't get involved. On a Saturday in March 2009, he and my mom walked along side me to center court at Hilton as I was honored on Senior Night as a basketball manager. Hearing those 12,000 clap for me (even though they had no idea who I was) was really an honor, and felt good to prove my dad wrong.

NL Central clash pits Estrada against Burnett
Crew heads to Pittsburgh on division-rival tour with Bucs on win streak
The Brewers are still looking for their first win on an important 10-game road trip that covers three division rivals. After a discouraging series in Cincinnati, they'll try their hand in Pittsburgh.
The Pirates and Brewers open a four-game series on Monday at PNC Park with both teams jockeying for position in the contentious National League Central. It's the second meeting of the season for the two teams. The Brewers won two of three from April 29-May 1 in Milwaukee, outscoring the Pirates, 26-18.
Milwaukee is 5-9 on the road this season, going 1-3-1 in series play, and having lost four consecutive ballgames away from home. They've lost their last eight overall against NL Central opponents.
The Pirates are looking to turn it around after losing four of five last week. Since then, they've won three in a row. Overall, Pittsburgh has won 18 of its last 28.
Pittsburgh has been getting some help from the long ball in its last 14 games. The Pirates have homered in 13 of those games, and have hit 41 dingers since April 7.
It'll be Marco Estrada on the mound for the Brewers as he looks to improve on his 2-2 record and lower his 6.05 ERA. The Brewers bumped the right-hander two days to allow for an extra bullpen session between starts after he said he felt "lost" while walking five Cardinals in his last outing on May 5.
He had his extra bullpen session alongside pitching coach Rick Kranitz, and took the extra time to clear his mind of the frustration of that last outing. He said it was the worst he's felt on the mound, but is since more confident.
"I feel a million times better," Estrada said. "I know those things are going to happen, but I didn't like how the mental aspect of it was lost. Normally, I feel like I have pretty good control over that. I didn't have it that day, but I've worked on it. Mentally, right now, I'm pretty strong."
He'll be looking to figure it out against Pirates veteran A.J. Burnett, who has not allowed more than three earned runs in a start since April 12. He scattered two hits and two runs over seven innings against the Mariners his last time out, striking out nine.
"[A.J.] was a grown man out there doing some good work," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.
Brewers: Aoki on a roll
• Outfielder Norichika Aoki has hit safely in seven of his last nine games, going 14-for-35 (.400) with a homer and two RBIs.
In that time, he's raised his batting average from .247 to .288.
• Ryan Braun, with hits in 12 of his last 13 games, may have the day off Monday to help with his ailing neck and back. Braun gets treatment regularly but has said he's no more banged up than everybody else.
Over his last 13 games, Braun has gone 19-for-51 (.373) with a home run and five RBIs.
Braun is two homers away from tying Geoff Jenkins (212) for third all-time on the Brewers franchise home run list.
Pirates: Clean 'em up
• The No. 4 spot in the Pirates' order -- filled at times by Pedro Alvarez, Garrett Jones and Gaby Sanchez -- has hit .309 (42-for-136) with 10 doubles, seven home runs and 31 RBIs.
The three aforementioned players who have started in that spot have combined to hit safely in 29 of the first 37 games.
• Over his last nine games, Jose Tabata is hitting .429 (12-for-28) with two home runs and four RBIs. He hit a total of three home runs all last year.
Worth noting
• The Pirates have won a season-high three games on four occasions, but have never won four straight.
• The Brewers are 71-25 against the Pirates since the start of 2007.
• The Pirates are returning home to play a 10-game homestand and are scheduled to play 18 of their 28 May games at home. They've gone 9-6 at PNC Park this year.
• The Brewers recalled right-hander Mike Fiers from Class A Brevard County before Sunday's game, and placed left-hander Tom Gorzelanny on the 15-day disabled list with left shoulder tendinitis (retroactive to May 8).
Fiers allowed one earned run (a Xavier Paul home run) in two innings Sunday.

My doctor prescribed birth control pills to treat my acne. Why did he do this? - Jessica*
Birth control pills can help stabilize some of the fluctuating hormones that can cause extra oil on the skin and lead to acne. By keeping those hormones under control, doctors hope to improve acne.
But birth control pills aren't right for all girls with acne. Depending on a girl's acne, doctors also might try different treatments, such as prescription creams, antibiotics, or, if the acne is severe, stronger medicines.

About this font family
Graphic designers of any nationality and background know very well that the art of composing titles correctly is not easy, Especially when it comes to periodical publications where there is need for both flexibility and graphic coherence. Tablet Gothic was originally engineered as a titling type family, meant to help designers working on publications that require output as hard copies and a variety of digital platforms at the same time. As such, it is a grotesque sans serif that looks to the future of publishing with a clear understanding of its history, and reminiscences that go back to nineteenth century Britain and Germany. More…

January is designated School Board Recognition Month in Texas, and Northside ISD is joining other districts across the state to gratefully acknowledge the invaluable contributions that elected Board of Trustees make to their communities.
News Archive
The Northside ISD Learning Tree after-school program, in partnership with the Northside Education Foundation, was awarded a $20,000 grant from the May S. Duncan Charitable Fund of the San Antonio Area Foundation.
Staff, students, parents, and community members can now send text messages to Safeline, the District's anonymous tip line.
Every high school and middle school in the District will hold a parent meeting in January to provide information about End-of-Course tests.
It was a roller coaster year marked by great challenges and great successes, as the District both endured a $61.2 million budget cut and celebrated the selection of Dr. John Folks as the Texas Superintendent of the Year.
The Northside ISD Board of Trustees is seeking nominations for the name of two new elementary schools and a middle school scheduled to open in 2013.
Dr. John Folks, a passionate advocate for Texas public education who has led Northside ISD for the past decade, announced today that he is retiring at the end of the school year.
During the month of December, hundreds of fine arts students will be featured in a variety of holiday concerts and performances at elementary, middle, and high school campuses throughout Northside ISD. Check out the full list of holiday concerts!
The federal education law, known as No Child Left Behind, requires that all teachers of core subjects in all public schools must be highly qualified, meaning they hold a bachelor's degree and state certification in the subject area they are teaching.
During the month of December, hundreds of fine arts students will be featured in a variety of holiday concerts and performances at elementary, middle, and high school campuses throughout Northside ISD. Check out the full list of holiday concerts!
Northside ISD will hold a job fair from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9 at the Northside Activity Center, 7001 Culebra Road, for an expected 200 openings in the Child Nutrition, Transportation, and Maintenance departments. The approximately 200 vacancies are expected due to staff retiring or resigning at the end of December.
We never want our students or staff members to feel like a number, but we can't deny that Northside ISD has some pretty impressive stats. Keep reading for a numeric perspective of Northside ISD:
An advocate for children in the classroom and an advocate for children in the courtroom were honored as the namesakes for Northside ISD's two newest schools during dedication ceremonies held recently at Lieck and Mireles elementary schools.
Superintendent says the state of Texas has failed to adequately and equitably fund Texas public education. The Northside ISD Board of Trustees Tuesday night voted to join hundreds of school districts across the state in challenging the constitutionality of the current school funding system.
TRS executives and trustees will meet with active and retired members on from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16, in Austin to discuss an update on the condition of TRS-Care, the TRS retiree health care program that serves more than 200,000 retired Texas educators.
Students in Northside ISD will celebrate freedom and democracy throughout this week, with ceremonies being held at campuses all over Northside ISD to honor those who have fought and served to protect our country.
Northside ISD was officially formed in 1949, but the history of the school district goes back much further. A new permanent exhibit at the NISD Museum pays homage to the 12 pioneer schools that came together more than 60 years ago to create Northside Independent School District.
It was a "Supreme" day at Jefferson Middle School this week when two Northside ISD namesakes visited to promote civics education.
NISD schools will celebrate Red Ribbon Week Oct. 24-28 with rallies, parades, and special events to encourage children of all ages to stay drug-free.
School trustees voted to honor the District's heritage by naming the "Bandera Road north area" elementary school after one of the 12 original rural schools that joined together in 1949 to create Northside ISD. Funded by School Bond 2007, Los Reyes Elementary will be the only school to open in 2012. It is located north on Bandera Road, outside Loop 1604 in the Triana subdivision. The address is 10785 Triana Pkwy.
NISD Board President Karen Freeman has been elected to a three-year term on the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) Board of Directors, representing TASB Region 20B. The region encompasses 15 counties in Central Texas and includes 50 school districts with 500 schools, 40,000 total staff (of which 20,000 are teachers), and over 300,000 students.
Northside ISD has launched its own website to provide as much information as possible about the state's new standardized test system, called STAAR, which stands for the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness.
The dedication ceremony for Lieck Elementary School will be webcast live on the NISD website beginning at 6:30 p.m. tonight.
Since Neff Middle School, Glenoaks Elementary School, and Westwood Terrace Elementary School opened 50 years ago, the schools have educated thousands of children and become cornerstones in the community.
Bobby Blount, a Northside ISD Board of Trustee since 1999, received the 2011 Celebration of Leadership Outstanding Alumni Award from the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) during its annual conference this past weekend.

Michael, did you disable Unity/Compiz before starting the games? It is widely known that Unity/Compiz affects 3D-performance when running OpenGL-based games.
Phoronix: FreeBSD: A Faster Platform For Linux Gaming Than Linux?
FreeBSD provides a Linux binary compatibility layer that allows 32-bit Linux binaries to be natively executed on this BSD operating system. Linux binary compatibility on FreeBSD allows Linux-only applications to be executed in a near seamless manner on this alternative platform, even for games. New tests have revealed that the modern FreeBSD operating system (via PC-BSD 8.2) can actually outperform Linux when it comes to running OpenGL Linux game binaries.
Michael, did you disable Unity/Compiz before starting the games? It is widely known that Unity/Compiz affects 3D-performance when running OpenGL-based games.
So many different factors motherboard, memory, audio, desktop, display server, compiler, file system ...
Heh unfortunately I don't see many gamers jumping on this, looking by how much work is required to get that setup and running.
You may want to try a kernel configured for the lowest possible latency. I noticed that improved doom3 performace quite a bit. For doom3 you needed some ingame configs aswell. It ran quite amazingly in the end.
My config was something like this - http://www.paradoxuncreated.com/tmp/.config39
I can`t say for certain that it will improve average FPS though, but it definately improved smoothness, from stock ubuntu kernel.
cpu: SAME
ram: 1GB less then Linux on i386, so Linux should be faster here
motherboard/chipset: SAME (MS-7642)
display driver: SAME VERSION
graphics card: SAME
compiler: NEWER on Linux, so Linux should be faster here
xorg sever: NEWER on Linux, so Linux should be faster here
fs: EXT4 is nowhere near ZFS features, and is probably more 'heavy' then EXT4, so Linux should be faster here
KDE vs. UNITY: both should not be used during that test, it should be plain twm or openbox with all needles services disabled on both systems.
If you would want to setup that from FreeBSD, it would be quite more work then with Ubuntu, but PC-BSD has graphical installer as Ubuntu and the amount of work needed to install con configure Ubuntu is the same as the amount of work needed to setup PC-BSD.
The combination Ubuntu+Nvidia sucks. I don't know why but for some reason sucks!
Try the benchmarks in a non Ubuntu based distro, like Fedora and you'll be surpised.
Here is a possible explanation:
Do most users switch to a 'lighter' DM when playing games? Equally do most users switch off compositing before running a game (yes I know Kwin can do that automatically)
The only thing I don't like about this article is the title it really should be "PC-BSD: A Faster Platform for Linux Gaming than Ubuntu"
Everything else is using the default settings (plus the Nvidia blob) to see how fast games run
You don't get more fairer than that really

All the blood we collect stays right here first and foremost, with the trauma center now, the need is so great. The biggest thing we like here is 30 percent of the people who come out have never given blood before so the whole theme of Be A Hero and to educate people is working and that's what I'm most proud of."

Vesicoureteral Reflux—Adult
(VUR; Reflux Nephropathy; Chronic Atrophic Pyelonephritis; Vesico-Ureteric Reflux; Ureteral Reflux)
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the backward flow of urine. The urine flows from the bladder back into the kidney.
Urine normally flows from the kidneys. It passes through tubes called ureters. It then flows into the bladder. Each ureter connects to the bladder in a way that prevents urine from flowing back up the ureter. The connection is similar to a one-way valve. When this does not work properly, or if the ureters do not extend far enough into the bladder, urine may flow back up to the kidney. If the urine contains bacteria, the kidney may become infected. The back up can also put extra pressure on the kidney. This can cause kidney damage.
Anatomy of the Urinary System |
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. |
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of developing VUR include:
- Family history
- Congenital abnormalities of the urinary tract
- Birth defects that affect the spinal cord, such as spina bifida
- Tumors in the spinal cord or pelvis
- Spinal cord injury
In most cases, VUR has no obvious symptoms or signs. In some cases, VUR is found after a
urinary tract
kidney infection
is diagnosed. Symptoms of urinary tract infections include:
- Frequent and urgent need to urinate
- Passing small amounts of urine
- Pain in the abdomen or pelvic area
- Burning sensation during urination
- Cloudy, bad-smelling urine
- Increased need to get up at night to urinate
- Blood in the urine
- Leaking urine
- Low back pain or pain along the side of the ribs
- Fever and chills
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Ultrasound
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
- CT scan
- Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG)
- Intravenous pyelogram
- Nuclear scans
The goal for treatment of VUR is to prevent any permanent kidney damage. Treatment options include the following:
Endoscopic Injection Into the Ureter
This procedure is a minimally invasive surgery. It is done to correct the reflux. A gel is injected where the ureter inserts into the bladder. This can prevent urine from going back up the ureter. This procedure is done through a small tube called a
Ureteral Reimplantation
This surgery repositions the ureters in the bladder. It can be done in two ways. One way requires making an incision above the pubic bone and repositioning the ureters in the bladder. It can also be done laparoscopically by inserting cameras through small incisions in the abdomen and/or bladder to perform the surgery.
VUR cannot be prevented in most cases. However, further complications can be avoided. Seek prompt treatment for bladder or kidney infections. This is particularly important if you have a neurogenic bladder.

Examples of soy foods include: soybeans (also called edamame), soybean sprouts, tofu, soymilk and fermented soybeans (also called tempeh). These traditional soy foods have been used in many cultures as good sources of protein for thousands of years. More recently, processed soy protein has been added to a variety of foods, such as frozen meals, side dishes, soups, protein powder drinks, and snack bars.
One of the many compounds found in soy is a plant chemical called isoflavone. Researchers like to study isoflavones because the shape of an isoflavone is similar in structure to estrogen and it is known to compete with estrogen in the body. Research about isoflavones has been confusing. Most studies show that eating traditional soy foods that have isoflavones may help reduce the risk of breast cancer and breast cancer recurrence. Unfortunately, some research has shown that very high amounts of processed or concentrated isoflavones can make breast cancer cells grow.
Soy Food |
Portion equal to one serving |
Tofu |
½ cup |
Soybeans (edamame cooked) |
½ cup |
Miso |
1 tablespoon |
Soybeans (roasted) |

¼ cup |
Tempeh |
½ cup |
*Processed soy food
Highly processed soy protein, or soy protein isolate, is used in many snack foods and vegetarian products. The isoflavones in these foods are very concentrated and may not be as safe as traditional soy foods.
If you are thinking about adding soy to your diet, it is important to consider:

For isoflavone content of foods: http://www.ars.usda.gov/SP2UserFiles/Place/12354500/Data/isoflav/Isoflav_R2.pdf

Mississippi ranks next to last in nation on new measure of opportunity in America
The State of Mississippi has placed next to last in the nation, ranking 50th, on a new measure designed to indicate how effectively individuals living in a state can move up the economic ladders of society as compared to the rest of the country.
>> RELATED STORY: Mississippi is fat and stupid
>> RELATED STORY: Mississippi last in reading and math
>> RELATED STORY: Health, education key to Mississippi economy
The measure, called the Opportunity Index, pulls together more than a dozen data points to rank every state by awarding a first of its kind Opportunity Score. The Index is designed to empower community leaders, engaged citizens, and elected officials at all levels to become knowledgeable of the overall opportunity they are providing to those living in their region. It will be issued annually, giving leaders a way to track progress and measure the effectiveness of their efforts. Developed jointly by Opportunity Nation and the American Human Development Project, the Index is available online, for free in a user-friendly and interactive format at www.opportunityindex.org.
"Opportunity Nation starts from the belief that the zip code you're born into shouldn't pre-determine your destiny," said Mark Edwards, executive director of Opportunity Nation. "For too long we have sliced and diced the interconnected issues of education, jobs, families, and communities – the framework underlying the idea of opportunity – into narrow silos that are disconnected. The reality is that these factors work in tandem to determine the potential success of our citizenry. That's what the Opportunity Index provides – an unprecedented snapshot of what opportunity in America looks like at the local, state and national levels."
Mississippi landed next to last in the nation, earning an Opportunity Score of 29.8 out of 100. Only the state of Nevada fared worse. The state ranked lower than national averages in 13 out of 16 categories. A few of the trouble areas that Mississippians struggle with include:
· Poverty Plays a Role: Mississippi has the lowest median household income in the country, at $36,796, and the highest poverty rate in the nation at 21.4%. It is one of three states in the nation where median household income is lower than $40,000 per year
· Not Part of the Information Superhighway: Mississippi has the lowest score for high-speed internet access, with only 43.5% of households having high-speed internet.
· Room for Improvement in Education: Mississippi has a significantly lower percentage of on-time high school graduates (64%) than the national average (74%). It is also falling behind in college graduates with only 19% of the population holding a bachelor's degree. The national average is 27%.
"Having scored at or below the national average in many of the metrics used to formulate their Opportunity Score, Mississippi residents have much work to do before they can say they provide their residents with opportunities to improve their lives," said
