From the Editor - High-Performance Computing
Visit the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, and you'll get close enough to smell the machines that were the fastest computers of their time. Control Data Corporation's CDC 6600 and 7600, designed by Seymour Cray, are two historic systems at the museum. If you go at the right time you might even run into Linux Journal's Michael Baxter, who can explain almost everything about Cray's designs except maybe the fake wood grain on the 7600.
CDC products served their time in the US national laboratories and other sites that buy the fastest machines, regardless of little details like backward compatibility. When CDC tried to enter the business computing market, it sank without a splash. Cray himself went on to found Cray Research, but as long as there has been a computer hardware business, high-performance computing (HPC) success has spelled failure in the business computing market.
As we go to press, the latest hot system on order for a national lab is the Lightning cluster from Linux NetworX, which will be put to work on tasks vaguely described as having to do with "safety and reliability of the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile" at Los Alamos.
Will Linux clusters stay in the HPC niche? Big vendors are putting their money on "no". Oracle is dropping UNIX boxes for cheap racks of generic machines. Penguin Computing acquired Beowulf-originator Donald Becker's cluster company, Scyld. Dell and IBM will sell you turnkey clusters with service contracts—maybe not with one click from the Web site, but close.
Linux supercomputers already wallow in the bargain basement of price-performance, using technologies on the commodity market or intended for the commodity market, such as x86 and AMD64 processors, Gigabit Ethernet and Infiniband.
Martin Krzywinski and Yaron Butterfield give us an inspiring story of how a lab with Linux infrastructure got the first sequence of the SARS virus, under time pressure. Catch Linux bioinformatics fever on page 44.
Back in the day, cluster managers had to write their own network drivers and walk to the data center in the snow, but Steve Jones got help from his cluster vendor in bringing up a TOP500-class cluster at Stanford University (see page 72).
The more you learn about clusters, the more you might be tempted to order a whole bunch of boxes and integrate them yourself. That could be either the most money you ever saved or the biggest mistake you ever made. Make your homebrew cluster a successful one by putting some sample nodes through John Goebel's cluster hardware torture tests on page 62.
Finally, Reuven M. Lerner was a little late with his monthly column, thanks to a huge blackout on the east coast of the US and Canada. Find out how to prepare for one in his "Server Migration and Disasters" on page 14.

Re: From the Editor, November 2003: High-Performance Computing
Seymour Cray once said "Parity is for farmers, NOT for engineers"
Fake wood-grain
I don't think they had a choice. They had already added blue plexiglas to the Cyber-74 which was a re-branded CDC6600. Telling people that the 7600 had memory parity would have just made them realize all the other CDC machines did not.

Years of Citing Articles
We propose a new and efficient signature scheme that is provably secure in the plain model. The security of our scheme is based on a discrete-logarithm-based assumption put forth by Lysyanskaya, Rivest, Sahai, and Wolf (LRSW) who also showed that it holds for generic groups and is independent of the decisional Diffie-Hellman assumption. We prove security of our scheme under the LRSW assumption for groups with bilinear maps. We then show how our scheme can be used to construct efficient anonymous credential systems as well as group signature and identity escrow schemes. To this end, we provide efficient protocols that allow one to prove in zero-knowledge the knowledge of a signature on a committed (or encrypted) message and to obtain a signature on a committed message.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Chapter One
The organ is linked to the machine.
The organ: five fingers, a hand.
The machine: six strings, a metal beam.
A metal beam that vibrates with electricity coming from the copper coil attached to its base.
The hand, full of its own nervous electric impedance, moves along the taut strings of the long metal beam.
The six strings vibrate rhythmically under the pressure of the five fingers. The strings are attached to a body.
An electric body.
A guitar.
This body-machine produces sounds and has its own name. It even has a past, which in this world amounts to a virtual miracle.
Better still, under the hand that moves in the electrified space of the metallic strings, under the five fingers that spread starlike amid the harmonic notes, this body-machine also has a future-an even rarer commodity than a past.
We are in the Afterworld. The World After the World. And in this world, only the hand moving on the metal strings to produce sounds, to bring forth a voice, only this hand knows how to make machines sing.
It is the Healing Hand.
It is the organ that gives new life to that which has never been alive. It is the antimachine that grants the favor of Grace to the machines, though they are dying and disappearing at the same time as the creature that conceived them.
So the hand plays; it plays on the body-machine of the guitar.
And the guitar sings; it sings its own electric body.
Its electric body boasts the double coil characteristic of its make. This machine has its own name: Gibson Les Paul, 1954 model. This guitar has its own body. And a body has this guitar. A human body. He holds it between his hands, hands that run over its surface and make it sing in a multitude of magnetic frequencies.
This guitar is an instrument, and he knows what that involves: injection sense/etymology in electric language. Instrumentum, in the language that was sacred for two millennia, from the word instruere, to build inside, and by extension: to develop an instruction for a human being. Via its Indo-European roots, it means operation capable of acting on the physical world.
Nor is the instrument an object; it is really a piece of technology, a language, a machine. M¯ekhan¯e: a war machine, according to its Greek origins, it indicates the existence of an operative action that will permit the development of another machine. Flash introduction to the semantics of the organum, more or less meaning organism: in this sacred language, which disappeared well before most of the others, every instrument bears within it the organum of which it is the mechanical hand; every instrument is an organic multiplex; every instrument is a body and the man who creates or repairs it is thus an organarius. An organist. A doctor.
And that is what he is: a doctor for electric machines. And this instrument, this guitar, is a body-machine.
Volume level 10 on the amplifier, a 100-watt Marshall from the 1970s. A century old; a rarity. The riff resonates heavenward, swallowing the near-universe up in a pure shockwave of white noise, full of ferocity, at once glacial and incandescent, a thermonuclear bomb. Electricity at the fingertips-and at the other end, a human body taut with pure joy, the kind that sparkles like a snowflake falling to rest at the corner of

From the Trade Paperback edition.
Visionary, gripping, sumptuous and tantalizing, Grande Junction is a masterwork of hip, literary science fiction.
On October 4, 2057, most electronic devices on Earth are infected and destroyed by unknown viruses, and billions of people dependent on machine interfaces are killed as a result. Twelve years later, the survivors are sunk in a new Dark Age, a grim afterworld in which the only law is the law of the jungle.
In the sprawling ruins of Grande Junction, a thriving urban community centered on an abandoned spaceport, civilization is hanging on by its fingernails. In this last fragile outpost of knowledge and reason, hope and faith, a second wave of lethal viruses is unleashed–viruses that attack human beings directly, stripping away language, thought, humanity itself.
But it is also here that a young boy, a guitar-playing prodigy named Link de Nova, discovers within himself the power to fight a malevolent entity determined to remake the world in its own bleak image. Now, as the viruses spread and enemies converge on Grande Junction, Link and his friends and protectors, Chrysler Campbell and Yuri McCoy, prepare to fight for the survival of the human race with rifles, radios, and rock 'n' roll.

Educational Philosophy
Learning is one of my favorite parts of life. Science offers some of the best opportunities to understand and enhance our experiences. In particular, biology helps us to understand our world in ways that help us to see how we all fit together on this wonderful planet. I love science; in particular, I love biology.
My teaching experience has allowed me to be a keep learning in ways that are fun and dynamic. I hope this year at Clark High Schoolwill provide my students with similar experiences. Together, we will work hard and learn something about each other and the living world around us.

Djokovic And Federer Top Seeds At Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships
Dubai, UAE
by Press Release|
Wild card Malek Jaziri's dream came true on Saturday when he was drawn to play defending champion Roger Federer in the first round of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
The 29-year old from Tunisia, ranked 130 in the world, will relish the opportunity to tackle the second-seeded and five-time champion and the player many dub as the greatest of all time before a packed centre court crowd.
At the top of the draw which contains six of the world's top players, three-time former champion Novak Djokovic will begin his campaign to take back his title when he faces fellow Serbian Viktor Troicki, an opponent who defeated the now world number one when they first met in 2007 but who has lost on all 12 occasions they have met since.
Third seed Tomas Berdych, like Federer, faces a wild card in the form of Rajeev Ram, but it is fourth seed Juan Martin Del Potro who might face the most difficult challenge in the opening round as he takes on charismatic Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis. A semi-finalist in Dubai three years ago, Bagdahtis also reached the semi-finals last month in Brisbane.
Another crowd favourite, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, has proved he is in great form with a tremendous run in Marseilles immediately before his arrival in Dubai, but the number five seed will not take fellow Frenchman Michael Llodra lightly in their first round clash.
Janko Tipsarevic has already won a title this year after triumphing in Chennai, and the sixth seed will begin his quest for a second against the experienced Nikolay Davydenko, while seventh seed Andrea Seppi faces Paul-Henri Mathieu and number eight seed and former two-time Dubai finalist Mikhail Youzhny will play Blaz Kavcic.
"With so many of the world's best players here we are assured of some tremendous matches right from the first day," said Colm McLoughlin, Executive Vice Chairman of Tournament owners and organisers Dubai Duty Free.
"Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have won here in all but two of the last 10 years and they are favourites to reach the final again, but opponents such as Tomas Berdych, Juan Martin Del Potro, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and others are all capable to beating the top two. It will be fascinating to see who manages to emerge as the winner next Saturday."
If the top four seeds do progress, the semi-finals will be between Novak Djokovic and Juan Martin del Potro, and Roger Federer and Tomas Berdych.
"There is so much talent in this year's field it would be naive to think that either Novak Djokovic or Roger Federer are the only players capable of winning," said Tournament Director Salah Tahlak.
"While they are undoubtedly dominant, there are many other talented players in the field and anything could happen. What a fantastic tournament we have in front of us."
The Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, which continues until 2nd March, is owned and organised by Dubai Duty Free and held under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Tickets for the event are on sale from the Box Office at the Dubai Tennis Stadium, Garhoud which is open from 9am to 9pm daily. Grandstand ticket prices range from 50dhs for opening rounds to 450dhs for finals.

The Mallory–Neely House is a historic residence on 652 Adams Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. It is located in the Victorian Village district of Memphis. It has been identified as one of numerous contributing properties in the historic district.
Around 1852, the mansion was built in the Italianate style as an early Victorian villa. From 1852 until 1969, the mansion was home to the families of Isaac Kirtland, Benjamin Babb, James C. Neely, Daniel Grant, and Barton Lee Mallory.[1]
In the 1880s and 1890s, the house was extensively renovated. During the renovation, the original two and one half stories of the building were extended to three full stories and the tower of the building was enlarged. After the renovation, the house consisted of 25 rooms. The Neely family decorated the mansion in the Victorian style, with parquet flooring, ornamental plasterwork, and ceiling stenciling.[2]
In 1969, the last resident of the mansion, Daisy Neely-Mallory, died at age 98. According to her wish, the house was deeded to the Daughters, Sons, and Children of the American Revolution.[2]
In 1972, the Victorian Village district of Memphis was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1973 the mansion was adapted for use as a house museum, featuring furnishings of the Victorian era.[1] The museum is operated by the City of Memphis and Museums Inc. since 1987 and is part of the Pink Palace Family of Museums.[2][3]
In 2005, the Mallory–Neely House was closed to the public due to the need for expensive renovations and funding problems of the City of Memphis.[4] As of 2014[update] the house is open to the public.[5] It was reopened in early November 2012 in a special ceremony for VIPs. It reopened to the general public a week later on November 11, 2012. The house has been stabilized and re-roofed with slate tiles and full copper trim. The house has had numerous additions to make it accessible under Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) rules. As of November 4, 2012, the public is admitted on Fridays and Saturdays. A ramp allows entry to the first floor. The carriage house serves as the ticket office, and is also the venue for a 20-minute video about the museum.[3]

An exhibition of digital paintings by C.R. Manmadhan showcases smoke photography.
Although there are several experiments on in the field of digital art, the medium remains fairly uncharted. Artist C.R. Manmadhan's solo show of digital paintings 'Imagination' on at David Hall, Fort Kochi, is a step forward in this exploration and expansion.
Manmadhan shoots smoke and smoke haze, a concept of smoke photography that he says has been used before. He creates the setting by lighting incense sticks. He then enhances this seed image using digital tools, transforming it into a work of art. He has effectively used, in the 21 works on show, the exciting range offered by digital tools in this novel medium. The conventional paint and brush have not been used.
"Although there is more that can be done to the image, I stop when I am satisfied," says Manmadhan, adding that it is an apt format for abstract painting. His love for the abstract comes from a childhood game of watching clouds gather in the sky forming strange shapes, telling stranger stories. Years later smoke has replaced clouds, stories have grown mature and the canvas transformed into shapes, forms, colours, shades, hues, contours that merge and melt, sway and swim in nebulous tantalising forms.
"I can manipulate the smoke but not the sky," he says enjoying the unlimited possibilities that smoke photography allows, compounded by the freedom offered by digital tools. But then Manmadhan has worked before with figurative forms in watercolours, oils and acrylics. Here he introduces that element too in some works, like in 'Hide and Seek', where the human form is surreptitiously brought in among digitised wrinkles of a bark.
In 'Animal Kingdom', a work in neon shades, one can spot animals through a miasma of smoke that works itself into an elephant trunk, into a coil of a snake, the hump of a cow and so on. Smoke sways to the form of Krishna with his flute. Three single tone works – 'Nymph', 'Old Age Fantasy' and 'Apsara' are works where the smoke line is clearly defined before it spreads into hazy shapes.
'The Dog' and 'The Other Side' are works where the abstract takes over the figurative.
He plays with backgrounds adding a textual feel to the canvas. He introduces depth by layering and through the use of colours, revelling in the unbound license of the abstract, of digital space.
Manmadhan, a veteran journalist, has held a few art shows earlier. He kept his artistic yearnings in abeyance till retirement gave him time and space to indulge in the call of his heart.
The show is on till September 26.

Slowing of movement with aging is inevitable. The mechanisms responsible for this deterioration, however, remain poorly understood. Changes to physiological and mechanical factors controlling muscle force and power production seem likely contributors, but a reduced ability for fast transmission of the force to the skeleton also may contribute to the deterioration in performance.

The bill to protect transgender people under the State Human Rights Law was approved by the Assembly with bi-partisan support on Monday, April 30. The Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA) will now be referred to the State Senate Investigations and Government Operations Committee.
"This is an important and overdue protection of human rights," said Assembly Member Richard N. Gottfried, sponsor of bill, A5039. "The experience of transgender individuals, and the discrimination they face, are unique, and should be specifically identified and unambiguously rejected in our State's civil rights laws, just like discrimination based on age, sex, sexual orientation, religion, race, disability, or ethnicity."
Transgender people - whose gender identity, appearance, behavior or expression differs from their genetic sex at birth - face discrimination in housing, employment, public accommodations and other areas of life, and they are particularly vulnerable to hate crimes. The transgender community is not protected under current state law.
"By eliminating the fear of losing their jobs, homes, and fair treatment in communities across the state, we can make certain that every New Yorker receives equal opportunities regardless of gender identity," said Gottfried.
Albany, Buffalo, Ithaca, Binghamton, New York City, and Rochester, and the counties of Suffolk and Tompkins have already enacted local GENDA laws. Sixteen states, Washington, D.C., and over 140 other localities across the country have passed transgender-inclusive civil rights legislation. The bill has passed the Assembly four times in previous years.
Empire State Pride Agenda, Housing Works, and dozens of other LGBT organizations across New York have called for the passage of GENDA. Additional support for GENDA includes a broad range of religious or faith tradition communities, The New York City Bar Association, and numerous unions.
The Assembly bill has 54 sponsors, including members of both political parties representing urban, suburban, upstate, and rural New York. State Senator Daniel Squadron sponsors the Senate bill, S6349.
"This bill has been in the Senate for 11 years; it is time for New York to stand up," added Gottfried.

Pop culture is a disposable culture, therefore it stands to reason that those who want the big bucks and the power are inclined to produce slick and disposable music.

It's Music City Roots versus the Opry tonight! Juli listed the MCR artists above and the Opry will feature Del McCoury, the Band Perry, Kristen Kelly, TG Shephard, Greg Bates, Chris Janson, and Jim Ed Brown as the token Opry Legend. Grade: B+
Opry Schedule: http://www.opry.com/shows/ThisWeek.html
I'll be jumping back and forth between the two and of course the artists I like will be in direct conflict! Crikey, it's like a multi-stage festival online!
Eddie Stubbs paid a nice tribute to Jim Fogelsong on his WSM radio show after the Opry broadcast last night. Everyone who knew Jim personally has nothing but nice things to say about the man.
I really like Ashton Shepherd's heart towards traditional country music. I don't know if what she thinks is accurate, but I do appreciate the sentiment. Go Ashton!
Can't say I am a big Rodney Crowell fan but I must say I persoanlly agree with his assessment.
Great to see Daryle Singletary doing something. Always liked his voice and I would say teh duet with Ashtn will be mighty fine. Of course, we'll never hear it from current radio that pigs out at the trough of poor taste.
Very sad that we lost a true gentle man with the passing of Jim Fuglesong. He brought many great performers to the forefront of the business.

No sound since Win 7 install

Have just installed Win 7 and no sound which worked perfectly before. I did get an error message saying Win 7 was not installing certain incompatible drivers so I assume it was my sound card .Strangely I do have a speaker icon in the task bar and when I check sound properties it says the sound is working .
My sound card is on the motherboard so have tried another sound card and amplified speakers , still nothing.There doesn't seem to be any Win 7 dedicated sound cards on my local suppliers website so any suggestions please ? I have checked the plugs and temporarily connected an old hard drive with Win XP and the sound is O.K. on that.

I had trouble with the Conexant sound on my Toshiba satellite P100 machine, the High Definition Sound driver wouldn't install properly and Windows 7 Update couldn't find a driver at all, Toshiba didn't list a Windows 7 version for my notebook either.
In the end I downloaded and installed the newest Vista driver for my notebook from Toshiba and the sound is now working fine. If you can't find a Windows 7 driver for your machine then a Vista driver might work, it did on my machine and it might be worth a try.

I had a similar problem after my installation. Have to say it was the only problem I've discovered so far with W7. Although the speakers built into the flatscreen monitor worked the speakers plugged into the sound card at the back of the PC did not?
However the solution was disturbingly simple. After downloading the Realtek HD audio driver I took the speaker plug out of the socket on the back of the PC then plugged it back in. This gave me a window that identified I had plugged it in and a set of check boxes to let it know what I had plugged in - in my case 'Front Speakers'. After this all worked fine.
Hope it helps someone somewhere.

...I'm not impressed.
June 27, 2012 BY John Kim / 16
Just ask any New Yorker and he'll tell you the same: pigeons will never disappear. Jeff Staple, who aggrandized the "pigeon" into a global phenomenon with his Nike SB Dunk Low 'Pigeon', hits us with another Nike speciality in the form of a Nike Air Max 90 Hyperfuse iD; composed with his classic pigeon colorway in mind (and inspired by a sneakerhead who designed it with Staple's design at heart), this Air Max 90 Hyperfuse iD recaptures the 2005 magic with the simple grey, white, and orange tone. These are indeed a pair of iDs, but Jeff Staple amped it up with a specially designed Hupbox as well as a Staple Pigeon pin. Just 12 pairs of this special iD will be available at a first-come, first-serve basis this Saturday, June 30th at The Reed Space, so check out the additional angles below and let us know if you think another official Nike 'Pigeon' release is overdue!
Filed under: Air Max 90 Nike Air Max Nike iD Upcoming Sneakers
...I'm not impressed.
how are these considered pigeon when they dont have the logo on em??? just bc its on the box and u get a pin f##k that
no pigeon on them? fuck that i could ID these eventually...
http://nikeid.nike.com/nikeid/index.jsp?sitesrc=d... Your Pair for 65 less and no hassle
12 pairs = Limited = Hypebeast = Not a real Sneakerhead. NEXXXXT!
Thank youuu!!!
Don't get me wrong. I love my AM90's (currents, moire and hyperfuse.) But $225 for some Nike I.D. and a clear plastic box? No thank you. You'll be better off going after the AM90 Premium Hyperfuse released overseas or the ones coming out now if you haven't already copped a pair from the NFL Draft Pack or the colorful "What That Max."
AM 90 HYP iD is $150. A hupbox costs $40. You're looking at paying $35 more to get them instantly with a custom Hupbox and a Staple Pigeon pin. As far as price goes, it's VERY fair.
35 more for a pin? mmm nah man you got it mixed
White laces!
Who wouldn't like to have that box?
theyre so nice but expensive tho
Box > iDs 90s
That stupid hupbox is like 40$ hahah Forget that. Hate hyperfuse but colorwy is nice for an orange pigeon that is all
super clean wish i could get my hands on a pair!
i considered doing this colorway although i had the blocking slightly different. i think i might still do it but on some regular AM90s instead of the fuses

Hello to all.
A newbie here. Well, let me begin. I have a 1976 MG Midget that needs pretty much a thorough restoration. It's complete, nothing missing, and the body is sound (i.e. little to no rust). I would however, like to swap the engine for something more reliable for daily commuting. Nothing excessive mind you. Simplicity is key here. Just another little carbureted four-banger with a 5speed of approximately the same dimensions and power (maybe a tad more) as the1500 and tranny currently residing under the hood. It would be nice to be able to retain the original Midget driveshaft and rear-end. It would also be nice to win life's lottery I suppose. Perhaps something of American or Japanese origin ( I am Stateside) that is in abundance, reliable, and easy to obtain parts for from say roughly the same year to maybe the 80's or 90's. My greatest concern with this swap is keeping it as least invasive as is possible. I would really prefer not having to hack up the transmission tunnel if that can be avoided altogether. I also understand that I'll more than likely have to fab new motor mounts. I can live with that. My only issues with the current crop of ECU managed 4 cylinders, what with DOHC/SOHCs, is that they may be to tall to fit under the hood as I would rather not alter the hood. Hey, stop looking at me like I don't know what I'm talking about when I am absolutely clueless. What I am really asking for is the least expensive and invasive and the most economical swap. How practical and reasonable is a project of this description? Please forgive the tall order. With sweaty palms and bated breath, I await your recommendations. Thanks to all and have a positively smashing day.

-Obviously if she keeps winning slams any longer have the best longevity ever. She already has the best longevity ever IMO.
-Have the highest peak level play ever by a women. I know this is subjective but the general consensus already is Serena's peak level of play is the highest ever on all surfaces except clay. Higher than Graf, higher than Navratilova, higher than Seles, etc...
-Hold the real unasterixed slam mark, considering the asterixes next to Court's 24 (Australian Open illegitimate slam of time for women), and Graf's 22 (Seles stabbing). At most Court would only have 18 and Graf only 19 without these situations, so 20 would be the true mark ahead of Wills and Graf's 19, Evert, Navratilova, and Court's 18.
-Dominating the deepest womens field in tennis history from 1999-2003, thus proving herself vs the strongest competition of any player ever.
-Her records in both Olympics and doubles showing her completeness. Someone like Navratilova who also excelled in doubles had countless opportunities to play in the Olympics and did not even attempt to.
There's one thing you've got wrong - the only time Navratilova could have played singles at the Olympics and had a legitimate shot to get a medal is in Seoul 1988 - she was already 31 y.o. - tennis stopped being an Olympic sport after 1924, was a demonstration sport at the '84 Los Angeles Olympics (Stefan Edberg and Steffi Graf won the gold medals which don't officially count as it was just a demonstration sport) and returned to a full medal sport at the '88 Seoul Olympics. Evert actually played in Seoul but lost early to Rafaella Reggi of Italy but Martina was too focused on winning her 9th Wimbledon title at this time and so decided to not play the Olympics.
As for Serena and being considered the best ever:
Grand Slam singles titles aren't the only criteria when you consider a GOAT candidate. There are many other factors you have to take into account - year end #1s, weeks at #1, total number of singles titles, consistent period of dominance etc and for most of them other than the major titles Serena falls far short of the "Big Four" of Graf, Navratilova, Evert and Court. Heck, even Davenport has more singles titles than Serena does (55 to 46) and has 4 year end #1s to her name because she mostly maximized her potential and Serena hasn't for the most part, and at 31 time is quickly running out on her career. She could have had the best numbers ever and dominated like no other if she had been more dedicated to tennis instead of her other outside interests but you can't fault her for wanting more out of life than just tennis, but you just can't put her in the same conversation with the "Big Four" either unless by some miracle she accomplishes a lot more than she has already outside of the majors.

Right now, Servers are down (again) and I'm stuck on the "Connecting to Logon Server", waiting for what seems an endless time.
As from my perspective this ain't no RC yet. Even the forums are creepy slow and I wonder, if - when I press submit - it will not timeout...
Extend the beta for gods sake.
I havent seen but one bug and it was a minor one. kinjer ran fine for me. forums are fast not slow. you might try to check your thruput on the connection between you and your internet provider. there might be some lag time there. also reset your modem and router.

There are two types of mats used in ESD control: Anti Static Mats and Conductive Mats.
Anti Static Mats are used to capture and dissipate static on surface mounts and floors. They can be manufactured with rubber or vinyl. The more common rubber mat is made with a conductive bottom layer and a top anti static layer. For table tops, snaps are usually installed for a common point to be attached to.
Conductive mats are made of carbon and used only on floors for the purpose of drawing static electricity to ground as quickly as possible. Normally conductive mats are made with cushioning for standing and so are sometimes referred to as "anti-fatigue" mats. They may also be beveled, or diamond-plated.

Egypt's Coptic pope buried, Christians anxious
WADI NATROUN, Egypt Pope Shenouda III, an giant figure for 40 years at the helm of Egypt's Coptic Orthodox Church, was laid to rest on Tuesday in a desert monastery after a moving funeral Mass at a Cairo cathedral attended by tens of thousands.
Shenouda's death brought an outpouring of expressions of Muslim-Christian unity in this mainly Muslim and conservative Arab nation, but it may have done little to hide the alarm of Egypt's Christians over the political ascent of Islamists.
Away from the volatile sectarian politics of Egypt, the death of Shenouda united the nation's 10 million Christians in grief, alongside anxiety over the future.
Local clerics, visiting clergymen and dignitaries packed St. Mark's Cathedral in Cairo as deacons chanted somber hymns and bearded, black-clad priests and monks recited prayers and as incense smoke flowed from their censers. Shenouda's body lay in a white casket in the elaborate regalia he traditionally wore to oversee services, complete with an ornate golden crown.
Many in the congregation broke down in tears, while others frantically waved goodbye as the Mass came to a close. Clerics, deacons and laypeople gathered around the casket, kissing it, standing in silence or bowing in respect.
Shenouda died Saturday at age 88 after serving for four decades as head of the Coptic Orthodox Church, one of the world's oldest Christian denominations. Most of Egypt's Christians are Orthodox Copts.
"I know he is now in a better place, but it is difficult now he's gone. We miss you!" said a grief-stricken Marianne Saad as she stood with the thousands who followed the Mass outside the cathedral, carrying portraits of Shenouda and crosses. Many of them wept, wiping tears from their faces as the melancholic tunes of the hymns reached them through loudspeakers.
"He will always be in our hearts," said a young Christian man, Hani Suleiman.
The grief and anxiety traveled with the pope to the desert monastery of St. Bishoy northwest of Cairo, where he was buried in a white marble grave in the evening. Thousands of the faithful camped outside the monastery from the small morning hours to catch a glimpse of his casket.
Chaotic scenes erupted when a convoy of cars accompanying an ambulance carrying Shenouda's body arrived at the monastery before sunset. Military policemen struggled to control thousands of mourners who tried to push their way to the ambulance. Many in the crowd outside the monastery's walls tried to get inside when the convoy arrived, but soldiers kept them out.
Nearly an hour later, Shenouda's body was interred with a cross over it and covered with white flowers. Monks and laymen filled the burial chamber, and some of them ripped flowers off the cross to keep as souvenirs. Some used their cellular phone cameras to snap pictures or record the event in video.
The monastery, which dates back to the 4th century, was a favorite of Shenouda's. He spent more than three years of exile there after he was banished in 1981 by then-President Anwar Sadat, who claimed the patriarch was fomenting sectarian strife. Sadat's successor, Mubarak, released the pope in 1985.

L.A. Guard Dog Trainer Accused of Starving Canines
jennieMarie / Flickr
He's the one guy you'd expect to love and care for dogs. But prosecutors allege that Charles Ferguson, owner of J.R. Ewing Guard Dogs, abused his pooches.
Ferguson, who denies the allegations, goes on trial today, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles (spcaLA) will be watching expectantly:
The group says an anonymous tip led to Ferguson's arrest last November. According to spcaLA:
... An interagency investigation ... unearthed evidence of starvation and painful deaths of working dogs at J.R. Ewing Guard Dogs Inc.
The suspect faces five felony counts of animal cruelty and nine misdemeanor counts of the same. If convicted, he could face nearly 20 years behind bars and $280,000 in fines.
Jury selection starts this morning at the Compton Courthouse.
spcaLA president Madeline Bernstein says:
When our organization began in 1877, we prevented horses from being worked to death on the streets of Los Angeles; 135 years later, spcaLA continues to seek justice for abused and neglected animals in our community.

Guacamelee! is one of those games that I've heard nothing but good things about, but haven't actually looked into or managed to play until now. I knew it was by Drinkbox Studios, whose Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack I was fond of. I knew it had to do with luchadores in a crazy mexican world and apparently it was supposed to have some humor in it. My time with the game didn't prove those assumptions wrong, but I was wrong for not paying more attention to it until now because Guacamelee! looks to adorn the top downloadable games for this console generation list.
Guacamelee! isn't just an excellent sidescrolling adventure, it is genuinely funny. When you get the wall jump ability, you don't just get a wall jump, you get a goat jump, because wall jump wasn't goaty enough (according to the goat shaman that gives you the ability). There are references and jokes every which way you turn and it adds so much personality to an already incredibly charismatic game.
While I enjoyed both Tales from Space games, they weren't without fault. Guacamelee! stands to be the best playing game Drinkbox has made. They've really nailed down a creative vision and carried it through to make a game that borrows so many things from titles we love and mashed them together in a way that feels unique. The throw mechanic alone helps mix up combat and the fact that thrown enemies collide with other enemies and you can stagger whole groups made me anticipate the next encounter. Guacamelee! is releasing soon so get in there and rescue El Presidente's daughter.

Runners launch 'Takbundukan' to save mountains
Some 30 runners led by activist priest Robert Reyes staged "Takbundukan" around Mt. Banahaw on Friday and over the weekend as part of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources' (DENR) program to save the country's mountains and the environment.
"We conduct this activity to stress the importance of saving our natural resources. The monsoon rains that inundated Metro Manila and other provinces do not merely remind us of (Tropical Storm) 'Ondoy'. It reminds us that something drastic and concrete has to be done to save our mountains," Reyes said by phone on Saturday.
According to Salud Pangan, park superintendent for Banahaw and the Mt. San Cristobal Protected Landscape, the project promotes the national greening program with emphasis on watershed protection and proper solid waste management.
Most parts of the 2,177-meter Banahaw, which spans 11,133 hectares, remain restricted to the public as the mountain recovers from decades of environmental degradation.
Reyes, popularly known as the "running priest," is known for initiating marathons to raise public awareness about social and political issues.
Takbundukan kicked off in Pagsanjan town in Laguna and stopped for the night in Liliw town. The next day, it resumed its run-up to San Pablo City, also in Laguna. On Sunday, Reyes and other runners from the DENR and nongovernment groups, ran from San Pablo to Dolores town, the gateway to Banahaw, in Quezon.
After a brief stopover, they headed for Sariaya, another town known for quarry operations at the foot of the mountain.
"Actually, the activity was not all running. If the distance is too far, the runners rode in vehicles and only started the run a few kilometers to the target destination," Reyes explained.
Reyes said they distributed running canes (tungkod), seedlings of native trees and the "Kartilya ng Kalikasan" to local officials during stopovers. The Kartilya contains words of wisdom to create awareness about discipline among Filipinos.
"But deeper than the lack of discipline is the alienation from nature that manifests itself through a lack of love, concern and care for the earth. Wrong belief systems; attitudes and bad habits need to be recognized and transformed. More than prayer, we need deep and lasting conversion," he said.
The canes are symbols of three virtues—sacrifice and commitment, shepherding and stewardship, and discipline, he added.
"The native trees are an expression of an openness and readiness to save our mountains by planting more and more trees," Reyes said. Delfin T. Mallari Jr.

I didn't realize that the ship was docked in Monaco for such a short period of time. It arrived at 11:00 & our excursion started at 1:00 pm. We drove up & down the Cote D'Azure and took in the lovely vistas. Unfortunately our tourguide (LoLo) did NOT have a good command of English. She was hard to understand. The tour left us no time to explore Monte Carlo which was a real shame. Nice was beautiful, more beautiful cityscape than Monte Carlo.

Martian Surface at an Angle
December 16, 2004
This latest color "postcard from Mars," taken on Sol 5 by the panoramic camera on the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit, looks to the north. The apparent slope of the horizon is due to the several-degree tilt of the lander deck. On the left, the circular topographic feature dubbed Sleepy Hollow can be seen along with dark markings that may be surface disturbances caused by the airbag-encased lander as it bounced and rolled to rest. A dust-coated airbag is prominent in the foreground, and a dune-like object that has piqued the interest of the science team with its dark, possibly armored top coating, can be seen on the right.

Texas 4-H Youth Development Program Opportunity Scholarships are ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS awarded each year to applicants based on their academic record, 4-H experience, and financial need (for scholarships for which it is a required criterion). The Texas 4-H Youth Development Opportunity Scholarship Program is conducted in coordination with the Texas 4-H Youth Development Program, the Texas 4-H Youth Development Foundation, and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. All applications must be submitted through the applicant's county Extension office and meet all criteria to be considered.
Texas 4-H Opportunity Scholarship
Attention: Parents of High School Seniors ( and parents of high school juniors who are seeking information in advance)
The Senior year is filled with excitement, but it is often a very busy year.
If your child is planning to attend college, you may want to seriously consider submitting applications for scholarships, etc. While May seems like a distant event, scholarship application season has already arrived.
The 4-H program offers some scholarship opportunities. Because donors for various scholarships often have specific goals, the requirements and criteria may vary. Therefore, it is important to read the information for each scholarship carefully.
Some families find it especially helpful to create a spreadsheet with scholarship names, due dates, and requirements. Others prefer to utilize a folder-file system containing the information and necessary forms, transcripts, etc.
- If your child is planning to apply for 4-H scholarships, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you (parent) go online and file for FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Please do this as soon as possible (like this week), so that you can use the information from your 2013 tax return. (If you wait until the new year, you will be required to use the 2014 tax return information, you will not have time to file a tax return and the FAFSA, and receive your EFC number back from FAFSA.)
- Note: File the FAFSA regardless of your financial income (high or low). Some people think they might not qualify based on financial need; however, many scholarships are not need-based but do require a FAFSA number.
- Make sure you have taken the SAT or ACT and that you have the original score report. That is the report that is mailed to you. It is not the one that is downloaded from the internet.
- If a scholarship requires a reference letter, notify your references in advance so that they will have time to prepare the letter for you.
Attached is general information on the Texas 4-H Opportunities Scholarships, as well as the application. Applications are due in our office by January 21, 2015.
