Allow pixel clock > 400MHz
Tech is moving on, and people are actually running 2560x1440 resolution at 120+ Hz. Removal of 400MHz pixel clock limit in Linux drivers is requested.
Tested on 295.40 and 295.49.
This should actually work on a GTX 680, and people have used such timings in Windows:
ModeLine "2560x1440_120" 478.785 2560 2608 2640 2704 1440 1443 1448 1475 +hsync +vsync
[ 19.217] (II) NVIDIA(0): Validating Mode "2560x1440_120":
...or am I missing something?
Timings that DO work, include:
ModeLine "2560x1440_100" 400.000 2560 2592 2612 2692 1440 1443 1448 1480 +hsync +vsync
Re: Allow pixel clock > 400MHz
So its true, stupid hard coded 400Mhz limit in the drivers.... LAME.
People with 680's can do 500+MHz pixel clock with ease in Windows.
Will NVIDIA fix it though? I mean there was a thread a while ago that they completely ignored, but replied in that thread relating to another issue, yet ignoring the main issue......
It will be like Stereo 3D I bet, nerf running 4K displays (and thus high pixel clocks) so only Quadro cards can run such resolutions or refresh rates....
NVIDIA Linux Devs Please Take NOTE:
Your Engineers have already stated that Fermi's can run 450MHz, and Keplars can run much higher. If your own Engineers can state that, then please remove the hardcoded limit from the Linux drivers.
There is a whole thread on www.120hz.net that posts the replies from NVIDIA on this subject, but I'm too lazy to hunt them down that the moment. They also explicitly state that 400MHz is the limit in SLI due to the SLI bridge bandwidth limitations...... but thats only when using a pair of cards in SLI (or a dual GPU 690).
Re: Allow pixel clock > 400MHz
NVIDIA internal Bug ID: 990023 to track this issue.
Re: Allow pixel clock > 400MHz
Could someone please follow the instructions in the thread about how to report a problem, particularly the section about generating an nvidia-bug-report.log.gz with a verbose X log? Thanks.
Re: Allow pixel clock > 400MHz
I'll have one for you later when I'm done work. I too bought a 680 just for higher pixel clocks.
Thanks guys for looking into this.
Re: Allow pixel clock > 400MHz
Spyke, can you do me a favor and link to where you found the 680 being specified as having a > 400 MHz maximum pixel clock, please?

Ok, let's see if this is of any use.

Re: Allow pixel clock > 400MHz
People are easily getting over 500MHz in Windows on a 670/680 so that makes moot what engineers have said anyway.
The Linux drivers should simply have the hardcoded limit removed, especially with the huge ****tail of ModeValidation overrides that are required in xorg.conf to even make use of such high clocks.....
EDIT: LOL, c.o.c.k.t.a.i.l is censored.
Re: Allow pixel clock > 400MHz
I know I have heard this other places as well. Sorry but 400 Mhz pixel clock is not enough for a 4k display, period.
I am using a 4k display via two dual link DVI links (each driving 1920x2400) for 3840x2400. This is only at 48 Hz and its 244 Mhz per half that is 488 Mhz in total bandwidth I am using to drive the display. And this is at 48 Hz. Seems like the linux driver needs to get fixed? People on windows can pump out 500 Mhz no problem.
Re: Allow pixel clock > 400MHz
Alas, even IF they decide to change the driver to allow higher pixel clock, it will probably not be done in the forseeable future - forseeable meaning useful, as in before the next iteration of cards.
Re: Allow pixel clock > 400MHz
More worrying are the findings on windows that the new 304.48 drivers have REDUCED the max pixel clock to 330MHz (!), together with the statements in this thread:

My toddler doesn't show affection. Are we doing something wrong?
I'm a stay-at-home mom and I spend all my time with my 16-month-old. I've always been very affectionate with her, but she doesn't return my hugs and kisses. When other people try to show their love, she pushes them away. It's really hard to watch this with her grandparents -- they love her to death, and she won't let them get close to her. My husband and I don't know why she's like this. Are we doing something wrong?

My son is 14mo and still does not give kisses and hugs. He will give 'the baby' kisses in the mirror or his Glow Baby kisses.. but not the mommy or daddy or ANYONE. I think that when he's ready - he will. He has offered them a few times and to our surprise.. but not very often. It will be another wonderful experience when he decides to enjoy a hug or kiss later on to mommy or daddy.posted 05/20/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Both my children (4 & 2 yrs old) were like that when they were about 18 months. It's normal. I takes them time to warm up to people. My children are very picky when it comes to being affectionate to others. Give them time.posted 02/09/2009 by KittyKravitz
Our son is 15 months and has ALWAYS had a very strong, fiesty personality. The NICU nurses even said, "wow, you're a fiesty one" within mintues of the delivery! He resists hugs and kisses but will give them to you on his terms. He loves to be held but then wants put down. It is rare to get hugs/kisses and it's hard at times, but my husband and I have come to realization that this is HIS personality. We still love him and show affection all the time - hopefully someday he will grow out of this. I totally agree with the mom who posted, "power struggle". I think that's exactly what it is. He is too busy to stop and sit on our lap or snuggle. Oh - the trials of parenthood! It's worth it!posted 02/07/2008 by LBAHR
I googled "15 month old baby doesn't like to cuddle" and find it very interesting to read so many experiences just like mine. My 15-month-old daughter does not cuddle, hug, or kiss us. She started kissing animals in books a few months ago and now also kisses some of her stuffed animals - in fact, she seems almost obsessed with her stuffed animals! - but barely tolerates affection from us. She's a busy, always-on-the-go, pretty feisty and determined child. I am now spending more time trying to give her lots of eye contact and even more one-on-one attention and affection than ever before (even though I'm a stay-at-home mom and am always with her)---hoping one of these days she'll surprise me with a kiss or a hug.posted 04/29/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm so glad I'm not alone. My son is 20 months old and the only kiss I've gotten from him was on my arm when he saw I had a "boo boo"! We always shower him w/ hugs and kisses and he will hug you out of the blue sometimes but I blame myself b/c I only taught him to blow kisses and not give them so I beleive this is the reason why. When I shower him w/ affection I ask him for kisses but I guess when he's ready he will give them.posted 05/24/2005 by i'vebeenblessed
my little boy is 33 mos old, he goes through spells, he will be incredibly sweet and affectionate with me and then the next day he will be that way with his daddy and wont have much to do with me. It breaks my heart and his daddy's when he does it to him. But there are other times when he doles it out equally wanting big "squeezes". I don't know if he is feeling angry with us or if he just likes seeing a reaction.posted 05/26/2010 by fate2dream
My 16 month old son is this way too. I logged on to ask this question also. Absolutely no kisses, he understands everything at his age but no kisses.. humm, what could it be?posted 04/28/2010 by RhondaKnox
Ah, I just asked my mother the same question as it seems every baby I see is ready to give hugs and kisses by the time they are 9 or 10 months. My baby is 10 months now and not interested at all. He snuggles against me when it is time to sleep and gives plenty of smiles though. So I know that this is just his personality and I tell him that it's ok, but I love him, and I need to show it, and I plant as many hugs and kisses on him as long as he lets me!posted 03/24/2005 by ValinPA
My 18 month old son will not kiss or love on me either but I came up with a different way to get them. He thinks puppy dog kisses (rubbing noses) is cool. I can touch the tip of my nose and ask for kisses and he will give me one of those precious kisses.posted 10/01/2007 by mystify81
I'm so glad I'm not the only one!! My baby is 10 months and still doesn't give kisses or hugs to the people who are close to her. She will kiss herself in the mirror or any reflection of her. She even gives kisses to some strangers and other kids. I have come to accept it and love when she does saw some love....Jaylynn is just like all the comments I have read..thanks for resuring me that this behavior is okay!!posted 05/01/2008 by jenni98

Delvin Rodriguez's life as a 32-year-old world ranked prizefighter, father and son looks to add another title on Saturday, June 2nd, as he gets a second chance to a lifetime goal, being called a 'world champion'. Although known as one of boxing's true warriors with a recent five-year span facing only the toughest fights in the welterweight and now junior middleweight divisions, Rodriguez gets a second opportunity to become a world champion, a title he's worked towards since he was 10 years old when he had his first amateur bout..
With a huge crowd expected at The Home Depot Center in Carson, California and a SHOWTIME televised audience, Rodriguez will challenge WBA Junior Middleweight World Champion Austin Trout over twelve rounds.
Rodriguez first fought for the world title on August 1, 2009, against Isaac Hlatshwayo at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut. The bout for the IBF Welterweight Title, seemingly was won by Rodriguez over the twelve rounds as he controlled the action throughout only to be disappointed by the split decision loss.
Promoted by Star Boxing for most of his career, Rodriguez typifies fighters from a different era; with no tune-ups or "stay busy" fights on his ledger.
"Delvin has been terrific to promote. He's always challenged himself with each bout to face the highest ranked guy available, a fight that could lead to a world title bout. For him it's all about getting that world title belt and the fans and TV networks have been the recipients of numerous excellent battles he's been involved in," said Joe DeGuardia, President of Star Boxing.
Sporting a battle tested record of 26-5-3 with fourteen knockouts, Rodriguez has appeared on ESPN Friday Night Fights eleven times in numerous, action packed fights against other world ranked contenders.
On Wednesday, June 6th, Rodriguez will be honored by the esteemed Boxing Writer's Association of America with a nod to his "Fight of the Year" against popular Polish and world ranked junior middleweight Pawel Wolak at Roseland Ballroom in New York City on July 15, 2011.
In a bout promoted by Star Boxing and televised on ESPN Friday Night Fights, Rodriguez and Wolak engaged in a fistic battle that fans will remember for a lifetime. Despite it being his first bout at junior middleweight, Rodriguez was able to control the pace and successfully counter punch the overly aggressively bull-rushing style of Wolak.
The bout featured non-stop two way action amid a packed house of over 2,500 New York City fight fans who stood and cheered throughout, Rodriguez and Wolak emptied their tanks during each three minute round.
With the bout declared a draw, Rodriguez was determined, "I thought I won and I want to fight him again next" he stated in ring during the post fight TV interview.
Said DeGuardia, "It's a testament to Delvin's character that being involved in that type of draining, intense battle and that he'd want an immediate rematch. But Delvin thought he won and wanted to prove to the fans who watched that he could beat Wolak again, and more convincingly."
"So for weeks afterwards Delvin was calling me wanting the rematch. And while I'm working on it I bring up perhaps a bout in between, not a tune up, but just a different opponent, but he wanted Wolak again. "
Continued Rodriguez, "I wasn't interested in facing anyone else. Nothing had been resolved in the first fight so I wanted an opportunity to beat him, which I clearly did the second time. I had no interest in taking a sideways step for a different fight, I wanted to keep moving forward and that would mean beating Wolak."
"It really speaks loudly that he wanted to face Wolak right away. The first bout was such a hard battle, but he wanted to start 'Round 11' right away," continued DeGuardia.
"The rematch took place at Madison Square Garden on December 3rd on the HBO Pay Per View broadcast of the Cotto/Margarito rematch, a perfect opportunity to show Delvin again. Delvin would get his rematch on the biggest stage in boxing."
Stated Rodriguez, 'It really was a groundswell of support from the fans and media, particularly on the East Coast. They demanded the rematch and I was honored to have it take place at Madison Square Garden on such a terrific card."
In the rematch in front of a loud and boisterous packed house of over 22,000 fans, Rodriguez fought beautifully and brutally, working each round behind a terrific jab and excellent overhand rights. Scores at the end of the ten rounder were all in favor of Rodriguez, earning him the unanimous decision (100-90, 98-91, 98-92). Most impressive was, in spite of being substantially and clearly ahead, Rodriguez put on an unforgettable final round performance, brutally battering Wolak, and leaving nothing in the ring.
"I sat down on my punches more and really hurt him early in the fight. As soon as the final round started I wanted to finish him off, I didn't want to leave it in the judges hands" said Rodriguez.
Stated DeGuardia, "It's always a special night having your fighter win at The Garden and Delvin looked sensational. The two fights really were indicative of Delvin's career; a true warrior."
"Consequently it moved him up in the WBA rankings and now he's got a second shot at a world title against Trout and he's more than ready."
"For fans of Delvin there's not much for me to say, they already know about the warrior and person that he is. For those unfamiliar to him or his career, the best thing I can say is buy a ticket or tune in to the SHOWTIME broadcast on June 2nd. He's a special fighter and he's got a second chance at his dream."
Concluded Rodriguez, "My life is my career, my goal has always been to win a world title and that's my plan for June 2nd."

Lucero Replaces Sanchez; will battle Diaz at Battle at the Boat 87!
Lucero Challenged Pacquiao for Title
Tacoma, WA (May 24, 2012) Contender Emmanuel Lucero has stepped in to face unbeaten rising star Joel Diaz Saturday, June 2 at the Emerald Queen Casino as part of Halquist Productions' Battle at the Boat 87 card in Tacoma, WA.
A former world title challenger, Lucero made national headlines in 2003 when he faced boxing legend Manny Pacquiao for the IBF super bantamweight championship on HBO. Lucero, a gutsy fighter with a never-say-die attitude, fought his heart out but the Filipino icon stopped him in the third round. Aside from Pacquiao, then 36-2-1, Lucero, 26-10-1 (14 KOs), faced a whos who of pugilists.
The ten foes that beat him including Daniel Ponce De Leon (22-0), Rocky Juarez (25-3), Valdemier Pereira (17-0), Patrick Hyland (24-0), Jorge Diaz (14-0) and Diego Magdaleno (20-0), had an astonishing combined record of 204-6-1 when they faced Lucero. The Scranton, PA based Mexican also holds impressive wins over former world champion Juan Polo Perez and contenders Frankie Archuleta, Rogers Mtagwa and Alvin Brown.
These kinds of things happen in boxing, promoter Brian Halquist said of the withdrawal. Sometimes the replacement fight ends up being much better; and that is certainly the case in this situation. Im glad we were able to get a suitable replacement and one that has a reputation for making great fights. Plus he has fought the best fighter on the planet, not to mention everybody and anybody along the way. I thank Emmanuel Lucero for his willingness to take on a bright young star like Joel Diaz on short notice. This has the making of one of the best fights we have had in a long while.
Lucero and Palmdale, CAs Diaz, meet in the ten round main event.
Appearing in separate undercard bouts are crowd favorites Nate Serrano, Sarah Pucek, Marcellno Pindeda, Josh Hewson and Jesus Partida.
Tickets from $25 are on sale at all Ticketmaster outlets or by visiting the EQC box office.
Doors open at 6 pm and the opening bell is scheduled for 7.
During the last 23 years, Halquist Productions built a reputation in the boxing world for their loyalty, honesty and integrity. In 1997, Halquist Productions ran their inaugural Battle at the Boat series, which remains successful to this day. Halquist Productions promoted many world title bouts and their fight cards have been seen on ESPN, HBO and Showtime.
Baltimore-Philadelphia match-up set for June 8!
Baltimore, MD (May 24, 2012) Jake Smith of Baltimore Boxing Promotions announced that his team of rising stars will challenge Philadelphias brightest young boxers in an Olympic Style tournament Friday, June 8 at the Du Burns Arena in Baltimore, MD.
Tickets starting at $25 and VIP tables of 10 from $500 are available on Baltimoreboxing.com or by calling 410-375-9175.
A longtime promoter, gym owner and trainer, Smiths created a buzz in boxing circles by matching Team Baltimore with a squad from the Annapolis Naval Academy and twice against the City of Pittsburgh. In the aforementioned match-ups, Team Baltimore is 3-0, with each fight card taking place in front of a packed house.
Fans are fascinated with the local rivalry angle, stated Smith, who was a popular prizefighter in the Old Line State and currently trains many of the June 8 participants at the Baltimore Boxing & Fitness Gym. The professional sports leagues have promoted this for years and its been a longtime goal of mine to do city vs city in boxing. Im fortunate to work with some great people in other cities whove helped make these events a reality. To be honest, its no different than in basketball, baseball or football, because the crowd shows great pride for their city and the attendance has been outstanding.
Topping the card is an East Coast title bout between rising star Jerome Featherstone and Darius Vann. A former standout wrestler at the University of Oklahoma, Featherstone served in the Marines following his college graduation. Prior to his colligate days Featherstone starred on the mat at the illustrious Boys Latin High School. Inside the squared circle, the Joppa resident and Baltimore native is yet to lose.
This kid is one of the most amazing athletes Ive ever seen, stated Smith, who promoted top pros from Maryland, DC and Virginia in years past. Hes got excellent skill and if he was boxing all of his life, I have no doubt that hed be on everybodys list of top young fighters.
In addition to the Featherstone-Vann match-up, there will be 11 Olympic Style bouts featuring each squads top talent.
All bouts are sanctioned by USA Boxing.
The Du Burns Arena is located at 1301 S. Elwood Ave in Baltimore. Doors open at 6:30 and the first bout is slated for 8 pm.

Wii U
Am I the only one who who doesn't really care...
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
- Page 1 of 2
- Last
Whether or not the WiiU crashes and burns? I bought a Virtual Boy back in the day, and I didn't let it's commercial failure sour me on the fact that I had a blast playing it. Of course I'd prefer if it didn't fail catastrophically, but I went into buying one understanding that there was a good chance that it was probably going to die out in a couple years. The reason I bought it was because I knew the cost would be worth it for the games I knew were coming out for it(MH3U, Pikmin 3, ZombiU and SMBWU).
Do people actually buy systems on a whim without considering whether or not their expectations could be met now or in the very near future?
Polite conversation should never include Politics, Religion or what constitutes an RPG.
Playing a game for it's story is like watching porn for it's story.
I'm right there with ya. I care more about the enjoyment and fun the console gives ME than care about it's commercial success. I mean just look at the Dreamcast, I still play Dreamcast a couple times a week...it was considered a failure but I would NEVER sell that emmer effer. As long as Nintendo releases their usual great quality first party games I could care less how the console does or how other people think it's doing, I love the WiiU regardless.
But I'm just a Nintendo fan...what the hell do I know about anything?
No good deed goes unpunished
yea look at every system ever
Pro tip : Thats not how I would do it
I would like Nintendo to have at least enough success with this console to justify supporting it with first party games and to really explore the possibilities with their new controller. Do I care whether or not they are successful in comparison to Sony/Microsoft's new console? Not really. Nintendo has always marched to the beat of their own Donkey Congas, and I'm okay with that.
That's why I have other consoles and a gaming PC.
I agree. I mean the reason I buy Nintendo consoles is because I know what I'm going to get out of them. I don't buy the other consoles out of spite, but simply because I don't have enough time to investigate them and their games - much less play them. That and I have more important things to spend my money on. Often times I've even picked something else over a Nintendo game.
"I never went to church. I just listened to Led Zeppelin and that was all I needed." - Dave Grohl
I bought my Wii U on a whim and I have no regrets from the moment I started unpacking the system and held the gamepad for the first time. Wii U has a great potential and I do believe that it'll get there eventually. All I know that I already got my money's worth.
PSN ID: Mustq
Wii U ID: Crimson
Bought the wii for brawl only... got disapointed but project M came and got my money's worth, also tatsunoko vs capcom was a great game, and monster hunter tri.
Bought the wii u for smashbros and monster hunter, they could cancel smash now and I've logged almost 300 hours of gameplay on monster hunter alone, I wouldn't care.
I buy a console for a game I know im going to go back and back again whatever other games I get that give me 1-4 days of gameplay are bonuses.
My gamecube was bought for melee and only got luigis mansion and megaman x collection after that. Melee is the game I've played most in my whole life and that's 22 years of gaming almost every day.
We fill the silence with our own insecurities
I still play my Dreamcast as much as my other systems that didn't 'fail.' Its library remains satisfying to me even for its short life.
I don't believe the Wii U will die, but it may be a far rougher generation for this console than some are willing to admit.
The Wii U is like the DS when it first launched. Nintendo was at first considering it to be the "3rd pillar" because they didn't know if it would succeed or not. It took a bit, but in time, it flew off the shelves, and because the best-selling gaming device in history. Can the Wii U be the same? Perhaps, but it definitely can't be dismissed this soon.
http://lazerlight.x10.mx/ - Lazer Light Studios - Home of the MM2 PTC project
I still play my GC more than any other system out there with games that I STILL want to get which is why I still have yet to get a PS3, Wii u or even more 3DS games.

PROSPERITY — Did Jesus really mean what he said about divorce or not worrying or other "hard sayings?" How do art and faith connect? Just what information is contained in the Lutheran confessions and how does that shape Lutheran belief?
These topics and more will be discussed in January at the Heartland Conference School of Religion, which meets for its 20th year at Grace Lutheran Church in Prosperity.
The school is from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. each Tuesday in January. Sessions include a break for refreshments and fellowship. The School of Religion is open to all denominations. It is designed to help laypersons and rostered leaders apply biblical and theological foundations to their congregational ministries and personal life in the world.
In 2014, the school focuses on Bible Study, God's presence in the creative process, worship and other life issues.
Courses are taught by retired seminary professors, Newberry College faculty, laypeople and rostered church leaders. Admission is $10 for adults and free for students.
This year, the Rev. Dr. Charles P. Sigel, professor emeritus of New Testament at the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, will teach Part II of the hard sayings of Jesus course he taught in 2013. His course examines how the early church treated these "hard sayings" of Jesus and what, if anything, they mean for us.
Grace Lutheran Church's Heather Harris is teaching an Arts and Faith Together course where students explore creativity and how it relates to God, noticing the use of color in our landscape, skies, seas and under the seas. Harris will provide all supplies but students need to bring their own black ink pen if possible.
Dr. Christina Wendland, professor of religion at Newberry College, will teach a course on Lutheran Confessions, parts of the Augsburg Confession, Small and Large Catechisms, Formula of Concord, and The Smalcald Articles.
This course will look at these confessions within the context of the Protestant Reformation and pay attention to the ways in which they have shaped Lutheran beliefs through the last 500 years. Wendland will explore what makes Lutherans "Lutheran" and what Lutherans believe about Scripture, justification, sin, and salvation.
The youth class will be team taught by Stephanie Stoudemayer, coordinator of Youth Ministry for the S.C. Synod, and Lynn Grimsley, chorus director at Mid-Carolina High School.
The sessions will include time to sing a variety of praise and worship songs, including contemporary Christian songs as well as a variety of new and traditional hymns. Inspiring stories behind the song will also be included throughout the course of the workshop.
The Bible Study answers questions and relates to issues that young people must face today. The class is for grades 7 and up and youth need to bring their Bibles.
Call Kevin Boozer at 803-924-7177 for more information.

Get More Than 20,000 News Headlines and Summaries with Stremor's Updated TLDR Reader for iPhone and Android
Stremor Corp´s TLDR Reader has been enhanced to support more than 20,000 news headlines and summaries in a major version update that also includes easier access to the built-in TLDR Mobile Browser and Samuru, an improved language heuristics Internet search feature.
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) February 19, 2013
Stremor announced today a significant update to both Android and iOS versions of their popular news app, TLDR Reader. The update includes a significant increase in the number of headlines in each news category from 50 to 150, for as many as 2,000 summaries of breaking news in 14 categories. TLDR Reader features Stremor´s Liquid Helium, a language heuristics engine that comprehends written language to instantly generate one paragraph news summaries of about 75 words. When combined with the additional summaries of the Samuru search powered "Find More Like" feature, mobile news consumers can quickly receive over 20,000 headlines and summaries within the TLDR Reader app.
"We´ve listened to a lot of user feedback," Says Greg Rewis, Chief Experience Officer at Stremor. "And pulled out the stops to optimize the performance of our app for three times the headlines and summaries as our first version." Additional user feedback requested easier access to the built-in TLDR Mobile Browser and search engine. "We also put the browser button on the menu bar," Rewis continues, "So that mobile users can browse anywhere more easily, and get TLDR summaries of any page."
"The user feedback has been incredible," says Stremor's CEO, Bill Irvine. "Just about all the reviews are four and five stars, with more people using our support system for positive comments and suggestions than support!" The goal of TLDR Reader is to give mobile content consumers a fast and efficient way to sort through breaking news and quickly find the content they need. "Greg and the team read every comment and responded to most," Irvine continues, "And worked really hard to quickly complete more than three dozen performance enhancements to support over 20,000 headlines and summaries at any given time."
The TLDR Reader app leverages the power of Liquid Helium, the company's proprietary language heuristics engine, the foundation of all Stremor´s products and services. Liquid Helium has the ability to determine the importance of content sentence by sentence and choose the sections that are most important. Understanding of language allows the software to create one paragraph summaries of 75 words which read naturally and represent the full content.
TLDR Reader version 1.1 is now available for both iPhones in the iTunes App Store and Android phones in the Google Play store. Users who already have installed TLDR Reader should update their devices. To get TLDR Reader on your iPhone or Android phone, just visit TLDRstuff.com for the link as well as updates on Windows Phone availability coming soon.
Stremor Corp is an Internet technology startup, focused on building language analysis solutions that close the gap between raw information and actionable knowledge.

Looting Matters: Protecting the Cultural Heritage of Italy
SWANSEA, Wales, April 16 /PRNewswire/ — David Gill, archaeologist, reflects on next month's hearing to consider an extension to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the US State Department and Italy.
In January 19, 2001 a "Memorandum of Understanding Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of Italy Concerning the Imposition of Import Restrictions on Categories of Archaeological Material Representing the Pre-Classical, Classical and Imperial Roman Periods of Italy" was signed. One of the aims was to reduce the trade in antiquities that had been removed from their archaeological contexts by illicit means.
A hearing of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee (CPAC) has invited further submissions for its meeting in early May 2010. The committee has to decide whether or not to renew the MOU.
The past decade has seen well over 100 antiquities returned from high profile North American museums. Among the pieces are the Sarpedon krater from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, a marble statue of Sabina (wife of the Roman emperor Hadrian) from Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, and an acrolithic statue of Aphrodite from the J. Paul Getty Museum. As recently as 2009 three antiquities were seized from a New York auction-house and returned to Italy; in addition, a fragment of a Roman wall-painting from Boscoreale was spotted at an unspecified New York gallery.
Italy has made major strides forward in reducing the amount of looting sustained by its archaeological sites. It appears that the MOU with the United States has reduced the demand for recently-surfaced antiquities. Museums, private collectors and dealers have been less willing to acquire or handle objects whose documented collecting histories cannot be traced back to the period prior to the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property.
Sebastian Heath, Vice President for Professional Responsibilities at the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA), says: "The MOU between the US and Italy serves the interests of the international community by reducing looting and preserving information about the Ancient World. Works of Greek and Roman art, both large and small, are of most value to scholars and museum goers when we know where they came from so that we can better understand their role in the cultures that produced and used them. Extending the MOU will demonstrate the joint commitment of the United States and Italy to expanding knowledge of our shared heritage."

Economist Robert Frank writing for the Wall Street Journal Wealth Report asks Do the Wealthy Work Harder Than the Rest?:
One of the most controversial issues surrounding inequality is work effort. Some on the right argue that top earners are successful in part because they work harder than others. Many on the left argue that the middle class and poor work just as hard – maybe even harder, with multiple jobs — but that the economic deck is stacked against them.
A new study [below] offers evidence that higher-educated (and therefore higher-earning) Americans do indeed spend more time working and less time on leisure than poorer income groups. In fact, while income inequality may be growing, "leisure inequality" – time spent on enjoyment – is growing as a mirror image, with the low earners gaining leisure and the high earners losing.
The more surprising discovery, however, is a corresponding leisure gap has opened up between the highly-educated and less-educated. Low-educated men saw their leisure hours grow to 39.1 hours in 2003-2007, from 36.6 hours in 1985. Highly-educated men saw their leisure hours shrink to 33.2 hours from 34.4 hours. … A similar pattern emerged for women. Low-educated women saw their leisure time grow to 35.2 hours a week from 35 hours. High-educated women saw their leisure time decrease to 30.3 hours from 32.2 hours. … (The study defines leisure as time spend watching TV, socializing, playing games, talking on the phone, reading personal email, enjoying entertainment and hobbies and other activities.) …
While the study doesn't seek to prove that the high earners work harder "that story would be consistent with the data," said Mr. Hurst.
These findings won't come as a surprise to anyone with a fully intact frontal cortex, which means the radical class warrior left will be surprised by them.

AUSTIN --- Texas A&M divers Grant Nel and Cam McLean grabbed their spots at the NCAA Men's Swimming & Diving Championships by earning top three finishes on the first day of the Zone D Diving Championships on Friday at the Jamail Texas Swimming Center.
Nel and McLean's qualification means the Aggie men's team will send seven competitors to the NCAA Championships, which will be contested March 24-26 at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minn. The pair of divers joins the Aggies' swimming contingent of senior Balazs Makany, junior Amini Fonua, sophomore John Dalton and freshmen Henrik Lindau and Kyle Troskot.
Nel won the one-meter springboard with a 12-dive score of 785.60, while McLean was third behind Texas' Drew Wilkinson with a score of 713.60. All three divers earned spots to the NCAA Championships. It was the second year that Nel took all the drama out of the Zone qualifying by posting a win on the first day. Last year, Nel won the three-meter on the first day to earn his spot at the NCAA Championships. It is Nel's third straight trip to the national meet, while McLean will be making his second appearance at the NCAAs.

BOISE - Among the hundreds who gathered at the state capitol today for the Add the Words rally was Senator Cherie Buckner-Webb, who is recovering from a recent stroke.
Last November, Senator Buckner-Webb suffered a mild stroke. She said she was speaking with her son and granddaughter using the FaceTime application on her iPhone when her son noticed that her face looked unusual and her speech was slurred.
But Senator Buckner-Webb was back in full-force at Saturday's rally.
Absolutely unequivocally necessary for me to be here because I do believe in the rights and justice and fairness for every citizen of the state of Idaho, she said.
Senator Buckner-Webb said many members of the legislature have been reticent about the Add the Words cause.
For some reason, I don't know how it happens, they seem to find ease in taking no action.
Buckner-Webb is not content with a lack of action, on a political issue or in her own life. Passionate about this cause, Buckner-Webb is equally passionate about her duties as senator.
I'm committed to the citizens of the state of Idaho, said Buckner-Webb. I believe its a charge that I have to keep, a calling that I need to step up to.
One of the biggest struggles, she said, was the recovery time after the stroke.
For me, not fast enough, but I should be in a state of grace and gratefulness, Buckner-Webb said.
Buckner-Webb said she had to learn to let go of control, when her family insisted she was not OK and needs to go to the hospital.
Know the signs of a stroke and listen when somebody tells you, 'I think you're in trouble,' because that was a little bit of the issue, she said. I'm cool, I'm cool, I'm just tired. Sometimes you have to let go and let others lead, guide and direct you in a proper way.
She said the speedy response helped make sure she could recover.
St. Luke's has these FAST tips for anyone suspecting someone is having a stroke:
Face-drooping: Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the smile uneven?
Arm weakness: Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
Speech difficulty: Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like, The sky is blue. Is the sentence repeated correctly?
Time to call 9-1-1. If someone shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get the person to the hospital immediately. Check the time so you will know when the symptoms first appeared.

Proposed registration start dates Part-time external research students start on 1 October each year. Retrospective registration is rarely permitted. Entrance requirements The normal minimum entrance requirement is an upper second class honours degree, or master's degree, or equivalent, from a recognised higher education institution in the UK. Other cases are considered on merit and must be supported by a statement from the head of discipline. For non-graduates, evidence (e.g. publications) of substantial research experience is required. The admission guidelines (PT21) provide detailed advice about non-graduate applicants. UK residence Students are required to be resident in the United Kingdom for the duration of their research degree studies. The Research Degrees Committee may exceptionally consider waiving this requirement for non-UK based applicants where it can be demonstrated that adequate arrangements for supervision can be made. The head of discipline should prepare a case which provides details of the anticipated frequency of face to face contact and explains how communication will be maintained between the supervisor(s) and student at other times, e.g. email, fax, telephone, etc. The Committee normally expects students for whom the residence requirement is waived to make regular visits to the UK at their own expense and this is usually only feasible if they have work or family commitments here. All research degree examinations take place in the UK. The Committee is also willing to waive the residence requirement to enable UK based students to undertake periods of fieldwork overseas where this is essential to the research and where it can be demonstrated that adequate and regular supervision can be maintained. Supervisor appointments A completed curriculum vitae form (SCV5) must be provided for each nominated supervisor. An electronic version of this form can be downloaded from http://www.open.ac.uk/research/researchdegrees/directly-registered-students/part-time-study.php or requested by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com quoting document reference SCV5. University policy requires the supervision team for a new student to normally comprise at least two internal supervisors, one of whom must have experience of research degree supervision, including the successful completion of at least one student. The other appointment criteria are a) academic competence in the area of the proposed research, (b) a PhD, (c) research degree examination experience. Internal supervisors should be of lecturer status or above. External supervisors similarly should be of lecturer status in a university or institution of equivalent standing. Detailed advice is provided in the supervisor guidelines (S10), see above. Registration Registration is offered after the admission recommendation has been approved by the Research Degrees Committee. The registration offer and other correspondence is copied to supervisors and the head of discipline. Initial student-supervisor meeting The student and the supervisors should meet as soon as registration has been offered, to agree how the requirements of the Code of Practice for Supervisors and Research Students2 are to be fulfilled. The Research School has budgets to cover travel and subsistence expenses incurred by internal and external supervisors in connection with their duties within the UK. Please refer to the supervisor guidelines (S10). 2 The code of practice is in the Research Degrees Student Handbook (see http://www.open.ac.uk/research/research-degrees/directly-registered-students/index.php).

Re: nVidia's 28nm Kepler expected to hit stores in late 2011?
Wow- I think that speaks volumes of where nVidia is. That they're no longer just a GPU company. I can't believe that they'd go that long without a competitive release. They're practically handing the victory to AMD by delaying their parts for that long. Going off of that chart AMD will have close to 8 months with zero competition in the low end and mainstream, and up to 6 months with nothing competing with their high-end. I suspect GK112 will out perform the Radeon 7990 or whatever but will that be enough to off set the 7990 being available 6 months earlier?
I just get the impression nVidia isn't worried about remaining uber-competitive in the high-end discrete GPU market. They've got their focus else where is what seems to be happening.

B&H has the new-ish Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM lens in stock in limited supply again. This is proving to be a popular little lens. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
What is the Difference Between Canon EF and EF-S Lenses?
This is a question that comes up quite often, so I am providing a brief explanation to answer it for those users new to the Canon DSLR system. [Read more…]
Rokinon 16mm f/2.0 ED AS UMC CS Lens Available for Pre-Order
Rokinon's new 16mm f/4 ED AS UMC CS lens is now available for pre-order for $479 with expected availability on August 8. This lens is built for APS-C sensors. As such, the Canon EF-S version offers a field of view equivalent to 25.6mm on a full frame camera. While Nikon, Sony, Fuji X-Series and other APS-C cameras will get a 24mm equivalent field of view. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
Canon Refurbished Lens Deals
A whole bunch of Canon factory refurbished lenses are available from B&H and Adorama at solid discounts over retail prices. Check out the list below. [Read more…]
Canon EF-S Lens Deals at Adorama
Adorama has a couple of solid deals on Canon EF-S lenses right now. (Note, you must add them to your cart to see the deal price.)
Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM for $679 (reg. $859)
Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM for $639 (reg. $799)
I'm not sure when these expire, so these deals may or may not be around for long.
New Canon EF-S Lens Rumored for First Half of 2013
Canon Rumors has info that Canon will bring some new EF-S lenses for its APS-C format cameras during the first half 0f 2013 to go along with the rumored Canon 7D Mark II.
Rumored lenses include an EF-S zoom fisheye lens, as well as a new macro IS lens. As noted by CR, the EF-S 18-200mm IS lens is due for a replacement and would be a logical choice to get Canon's new STM focus motor to play nice with video AF on entry-level DSLRs like the Canon Rebel T4i and its eventual successor.

Rural areas have much higher injury rate
Country life may provide scenic tableaus but a U.S. study found injuries requiring hospitalization occur at much higher rates in rural areas than elsewhere.
West Virginia University researchers analyzed all reported injuries of people who were admitted to U.S. hospitals for treatment in 2004. They found hospitalization rates for injuries were 35 percent higher in sparsely populated rural counties and 27 percent higher in more populated rural counties.
The perception is that life in rural areas is peaceful, tranquil, serene, Dr. Jeffrey H. Coben said in a statement.
If you just look at violence — person against person — the rates are higher in urban areas. But for virtually every other cause of trauma, the risks are substantially greater in rural areas.
The study, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that as population density decreases, the risk continues to increase.
Large urban counties carried the highest hospitalization rates for assaults, but rural counties led in hospitalizations for motor-vehicle crashes, falls, poisonings and self-inflicted injuries using poisons, knives and guns.
Death rates from injury are already known to be higher in rural areas, Coben said.
By demonstrating that there's also a significantly higher injury rate in rural areas, we're showing an increased incidence of injury is the problem — not just access to care or the promptness of care, Cohen said.

I Hate My Niece
« Next Previous » Category: family Confessions
Posted by Anonymous
on November 12th, 2011 at 1:51 AM
When she was little, she used to torment her little brother. I heard about her bouncing her ball on his head and I think one time she kicked him while she was sitting in a chair. Years ago, was the worst year of my entire life. It was when my sister and her family came to live with us because my (now ex) brother-in-law had no job. My sister, her husband, and my niece put my parents and I through hell. We were practically forced to stay in our rooms while they took over the house. My niece would mess up the place, crap all over the place (she was around five and is mildly autistic, but she still knew better than to do these things), she screamed alot, and break all sorts of things. She once broke the outer screen of our big screen tv with the ottoman, even after we told her not to scoot it too close to the tv. She was very defiant, she wouldn't do as she was told, and she is still this way. Not only that but I never had a moment of peace because she wouldn't stop bothering me or leave me alone. All of this along with other chaos drove me to lash out at her.
I was relieved when my sister and her family left, especially that demon child. But that year still left me disturbed. It took me some time to get better, but I am still haunted by the memories. Then a couple of years later (I think) my sister and her kids came to live with us again for a while because her husband cheated on her (she should've left him after he acted inappropiately towards me the year they lived with us.) My niece had hardly changed. She did all sorts of annoying things and she was a drama queen about doing things she didn't want to do (my dad broke her of this by mimicking her.) I one day went to my mom in private and broke down crying. I couldn't through another year of living like we did those years ago. Fortunately, it was not long before my sister and her kids left.
Because of all of the misery my niece caused, I've pretty much cut off family ties with her. I don't consider her family. Lately, she's been having issues at school, yet I don't feel sorry for her. I know I should, but I don't. I can't help but feel like she deserved it after all the hell she has caused me and others. I don't care if people disagree with me about my feelings about her. If you knew her the way I did you'd understand. I wish she never existed.

I wouldn't put the blame entirely on her, but rather bad parenting. I understand she's your sister, but a lot of how to act socially appropriate is up too the parents, not the child.
I totally understand where you are coming from. I agree also that the parenting must totally suck. I have a demon niece too and a brother that is completely oblivious to how wrong and terrible her behavior and their parenting actually is. I feel your pain...everyday.
My niece is a total ****.....she is 30'ish and act's like the world revolves around her....she cares no more for a gnat than a human being.....all I can advise is to move on.
I totally hate her and wish I had never met her
I completely understand. My niece comes across as cute and perfect but once her parents disappear from sight the real "Mary" comes out. She does anything and everything in her power to provoke my daughter and other niece. She has the entire family thinking that she is the smart well mannered one but in reality she is not. Her most favorite past time hitting one of the other kids then when they hit her back or tell her to stop she yells for her dad (my brother) and makes out she was the one who is the innocent. It cause problems between my brother and myself because he cant stand it when you put his kid in her place. As far as he is concerned she is the eldest so she must be telling the truth and the other kids are lying. All I can say is I cant wait until he realizes what a devious self centered child he has and he will one day.
Omg that sounds like my niece! I can't stand her!!! She is only 5 but doesn't like me either as I have to become a disciplinarian when her mom has reached her wit's end. They live upstairs in my house - similar situation. She's an absolute monster and I wouldn't be surprised if she was a psychopath too, after seeing her smack my mom's dog. She whips stuff everywhere and smashes her toys against my hardwood floors, etc. I dread to see the place after they move. I can't imagine she'll change much in life and I have no use for her in mine. Good riddance when they finally move.
we're on the same boat. but she wasn't really my niece. she's my husband's niece and seeing her just ruins my day. she's a whiny, bratty and annoying pre-schooler and somehow my husband and his family thinks she's a gift from God.
while yes, it should be blamed on bad parenting, somehow, I understand how you feel.
It is such a relief to see these posts and know it's not just me. My niece is vile. She is five but has always been difficult even as a small baby. So much so that her parents changed her mind about having a second child. They changed it again, though, and her brother, two years younger, is the gentlest, most loving child you could ever wish to meet. It's obviously not the parenting and they are just chalk and cheese by nature. Part of me thinks as a grown up, I shouldn't feel like this towards a four and now five-year old but she is just vile. We'll be happily playing on the floor with toys when she'll pull her leg right back to suddenly kick me in the head with as much force as she can. Only just today, she cuddled up to me as if to give me a kiss on the cheek only for her to bite me instead. I f*cking hate the child. I think if she died, I actually wouldn't care.

Correct Way to Tension Racquetball Mains
Hey, I have my own stringer and usually just string tennis racquets. I recently got ask by some friends to string their racquetball racquets. I do my own racquetball racquets, but they are ektelons with the power ring so they arent so difficult to string.
I wanted to know what the correct way to tension the main strings for racquets that have the strings going through the handle since my stringer isnt long enough to pull tension at the handle (i.e. e-force, wilson,..). Do i just tension everything from the head (loop through the handle and pull tension from head).
Also, for the head racquets with the internal grommets, my stringer does not have a break (gamma X-6fc), is it okay to loop through the internal grommets of the power channel system and pull tension from the top of the racquet just like the question before?
Thank you for reading and i appreciate any response.

Early problems kill San Diego's chances
PHOENIX The San Diego Padres were on nice little roll heading into the desert, were hoping to build a little momentum toward the end of the season.
They never got the chance, thanks to some uncharacteristically bad defense.
One of baseball's best defensive teams the second half of the season, the Padres had three errors in the first two innings, leading to all of Arizona's runs in a 5-0 loss to the Diamondbacks on Friday night.
"I don't know if I ever have seen and inning go like that first inning," LeBlanc said.
San Diego had won five of six before arriving in Arizona and had just 14 errors since the All-Star break, third-least in the majors.
Whether it was the heat - 108 outside at first pitch - or Arizona's early aggressiveness, the Padres seemed out of sorts the first two innings, getting two errors from catcher Nick Hundley and a couple of other unseemly plays.
The Diamondbacks took advantage, scoring all of their runs off San Diego starter Wade LeBlanc (2-3) in those first two innings. The Padres never fully recovered, holding Arizona without a run the rest of the way, but went 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position.
"The difference today was they bunched their hits in the first inning and got their runs," Padres manager Bud Black said. "We spread them outs and couldn't get the key hits. If we get a ball in the gap a couple of times during this game, it is a different ballgame."
Arizona starter Josh Collmenter (8-8) had his fourth straight solid outing, allowing six singles in 5 1-3 innings, and combined with four relievers for Arizona's second shutout during a four-game winning streak that keeps the Diamondbacks three games ahead of San Francisco in the division.
"We came out very aggressive, we stole four bags on them, and kind of forced some action," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "We'll take it like that when it's available. We'll take runs any way we can get them."
Arizona had surged to the top of the NL West, only to slide back with a six-game losing streak.
In danger of spiraling downward, the Diamondbacks recovered to make it a respectable road trip, closing it out with three straight wins over Washington for their first division lead this late in the season for the first time since 2008.
Heading home for a crucial six-game homestand against NL West opponents, the Diamondbacks hoped to keep it going behind Collmenter.
The over-the-the-top-throwing rookie did his part, retiring the first eight batters he faced while allowing less than two runs for the fourth straight start.
The Diamondbacks - with plenty of help from San Diego - made sure Collmenter didn't have to work too hard, scoring four runs in the first.
Arizona had five hits in the opening inning and Padres catcher Nick Hundley sent two runs across the plate with throwing errors - the first coming as he threw the ball into the ground trying to avoid Ryan Roberts' swinging bat on Willie Bloomquist's attempted steal of third.

Staff Correspondent
BIJAPUR: Members of Left parties and other organisations on Friday protested against the abduction and assault of vice-president of Karnataka Prantha Raitha Sangha (KPRS) Bhimshi Kaladagi.
Activists led by CPI (M) State secretariat member G.C. Bayyareddy, who is also KPRS State secretary, and CPI (M) district secretary, Annaray Ilgera took out a procession from Siddeshwara Gudi to the Deputy Commissioner's office where they held demonstration.
Mr. Bayyareddy and others said abduction and assault of a senior leader such as Mr. Kaladagi depicted the collapse of law and order. Mr. Kaladagihas been under treatment at a civil hospital here since his release.
The protesters demanded a high-level inquiry into the case as there was an allegation that the main accused P.S. Vastrad, who is in judicial custody, enjoyed support of some police officials. Also, as the main accused was an advocate, there was a chance ofthe legal process being influenced.
The administration should ensure that there is no scope for any such tampering.
Police firing condemned
Member of Socialist Unity Centre of India on Friday protested the police firing on farmers, who agitated against land acquisition meant for Special Economic Zone near Kolkata.
The protesters, who gathered at Gandhi Chowk under the leadership of district unit secretary B. Bhagwan Reddy, shouted slogans against CPI (M)-led West Bengal Government and demanded its dismissal.
The Government was compromising farmers' interest in the name of development.
