WSOF 19 video highlights: Teddy Holder steps in, shocks Thiago Silva
Teddy Holder knew a huge opportunity when he saw one, and Thiago Silva was the victim.
Teddy Holder knew a huge opportunity when he saw one, and Thiago Silva was the victim.
If we're not talking about Justin Gaethje vs. Luis Palomino nine months from now, you can believe 2015 will have been one hell of a year for MMA.
Just hours before he was set to return from retirement, Matt Hamill has withdrawn from tonight's WSOF 19 event.
Thiago Silva hasn't stepped into a cage in more than 17 months, but as he prepares to make his return to fighting, the polarizing light heavyweight has stayed largely under the radar – until now.
The lineup for "WSOF 19: Gaethje vs. Palomino" has been finalized with several additional undercard fights booked for the event.
There has been some shuffling in WSOF's next two events – a rematch is on tap for WSOF 19, and a champion goes after a second belt at WSOF 20.
WSOF lightweight champion Justin Gaethje will look to keep his career record unblemished when he takes on Luis Palomino in the main event of WSOF 19 on March 28 at Phoenix's Comerica Theatre.

Danica sixth at Honda Indy Toronto
By Doug Halberstadt
Sports Columnist
The streets of Toronto were relatively kind to former Roscoe resident Danica Patrick last Sunday, July 18. She finished in sixth place in the Honda Indy Toronto race. It was her fifth top 10 finish of the season.
Will Power won the attrition-filled, caution flag-plagued race. This was Power's fourth win of the 2010 season and the second of his career at Toronto.
Patrick ran a very smart race and managed to avoid any serious trouble during the 65-lap race that seemed to turn into a contact sport for many of her fellow competitors. She is in the 11th position in the season points standings with seven races still to run this year.
The series stays in Canada for their next race this Sunday evening (July 25). The Rexall Edmonton Indy will start at 7 p.m. local time and be televised on VERSUS.
Patrick is splitting her time this season between the IndyCar Series and the NASCAR Nationwide Series. Her next scheduled time behind the wheel of her Nationwide car is slated for Aug. 14 at Michigan International Speedway.
Doug Halberstadt can be reached via e-mail at email@example.com.
From the July 21-27, 2010 issue

Recent Lenox reviews
"This house has an excellent location: equidistant from Stockbridge and Lenox (a vigorous walk to Tanglewood). The Stockbridge Bowl is across the road, with good swimming and is staffed by at least one lifeguard. There is lots of local theater and cultural activities within a short distance. The house is comfortable, and has central air conditioning for the rare hot Berkshires evening. The kitchen is well-stocked, and there is a dishwasher, garbage disposal, and a washer and dryer."Guest: Mike W. Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: August 12, 2014View listing

First floor layout is perfect--very charming. We grilled out one night--great weber grill. Easy 5 minute walk into town. Plenty of coffee shops, some very nice restaurants. Walked to Rumpy's Tavern one night and had a great time with my daughter in law singing on karaoke night. Went for a nice 10 mile bike ride--watch out for those hills!

This budget recipe is very easy to cook.
Three cheeses layered with pasta and tomato passata sauce. This recipe is so easy and so good!
This warming pasta bake is simple enough to make for a midweek supper, yet feels like slow-cooked comfort food.

What is the difference between mjpeg and h264?
first know that The H.264 & MPEG-4 AVC & MPEG-4 part 10 are the same. check this
While H.264 generally reduces bandwidth consumption significantly, it depends on multiple factors (including complexity, streaming mode, frame rate and i frame rate). VBR vs CBR selection is especially important, having a especially large impact on use and performance. Finally, while H.264 can deliver the same visible image quality as MJPEG, depending on the settings you use (especially streaming mode), you can easily generate worse quality.
Video compression is achieved from 2 forms of prediction:
Inter prediction is generally a lot better, as it allows areas of the video that are similar between frames to be encoded very cheaply. This is where H.264 gains most of its compression.
A single JPEG image is just an intra frame, and MJPEG is just a sequence of JPEG images. MJPEG has no inter frames at all.
In fact even an H.264 intra frame will offer much better compression than a JPEG frame (this is partly why Google pushed WebP).
For most use cases H.264 will have much better compression than MJPEG, but the encode/decode process is a lot more complex, which is why things without much computing power e.g. webcams spit out MJPEG.
It would have to be a rather pathological case for an good H.264 encoder to perform as badly as a good MJPEG encoder, e.g. randomly generated pixel values.
Mjpeg is just a list of jpeg files in a single file or data stream. There is no interframe compression. Put another way, every frame is a key frame.
h264 is very different from Mjpeg - start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC
(Mpeg (no 'j') is different from Mjpeg, but very similar to H264)

Lobbyists Writing LegislationJanuary 12, 2010 - by Donny Shaw
Sen. Lisa Murkowski [R, AK] is gearing up to offer an amendment to the Interior Appropriations bill that would block the E.P.A. from following through on their plan to crackdown on carbon emissions if the Senate doesn't pass a bill on their own to do so. The Washington Post on Monday revealed that Murkowski wrote her amendment in consultation with former Bush E.P.A. officials who are now working as lobbyists for some of the country's biggest and dirtiest energy companies.
The Washington Post has confirmed that two Washington lobbyists, Jeffrey R. Holmstead and Roger R. Martella, Jr., helped craft the original amendment Murkowski planned to offer on the floor last fall. Both Holmstead, who heads the Environmental Strategies Group and Bracewell & Guiliani, and Martella, a partner at Sidley Austin LLP, held senior posts at EPA under the Bush administration and represents multiple clients with an interest in climate legislation pending before Congress.
In an interview, Holmstead said of the Murkowski amendment, "I certainly worked with her staff" on the exact phrasing of the measure in September.
"I was involved," he said, adding that Martella also helped advise Murkowski's aides on the matter. "The line out of the White House and the administration was that the amendment would block the car and truck rule" setting the first-ever greenhouse gas limits on emissions from vehicles, which are set to become final in March.
Holmstead represents industry interests including Southern Company, Duke Energy, Progress Energy and the Electric Reliability Coordinating Council on climate matters, according to congressional lobbying registration forms, while Martella represents the National Alliance of Forest Owners and the Alliance of Food Associations on the same subject.
Greenpeace is asking for a Senate Ethics Committee investigation of the matter, though I'm not sure they technically have grounds to stand on here. There's no rule in Congress against working with private industry to craft legislation. In fact, it's common practice. But that doesn't mean that there's nothing wrong with it.

Few parents ever imagine that their child will grow up to do drugs, but drug usage among kids and teens is a stark reality. Drugs are everywhere — from big cities to small towns — and are used by people of all ages, races, and economic means.
Knowing what drugs are available, what they can do, and how they can affect someone is the first step in raising drug-free kids. The second step — and probably most important — is to talk to your child early and often about the dangers of drugs.

Publisher's Description
Francis Scott Key was a very busy man. He and his wife had 11 children. He was a lawyer and many people came to him for advice. But whenever he had a moment, he would jot down a line of poetry. He loved writing poems. When the War of 1812 broke out, Francis became even busier. He was well-respected and often called upon to help keep the peace as the war between the United States and England raged on. One fateful night Francis and his friend helped talk the British Navy into releasing a prisoner of war. But they couldn't return home just yet because the Battle of Fort McHenry was starting! If the British captured the fort, America might very well lose its independence. Francis and his friends could only sit on a boat and observe the battle. For 25 hours they watched in awe. What Francis saw inspired him to write a poem that would become America's national anthem! This Step 3 reader is perfect for children who are ready to read independently.

ABSTRACT We studied mortality related to peptic ulcer bleed (PUB) in a well defined cohort of patients in the month following the episode of peptic ulcer bleed. Our objective was to assess the contribution of peptic ulcer antecedents and other predictive factors on the risk of dying. The study cohort was formed by 1,020 patients with a hospitalization for an episode of PUB between January 1991 and March 1994, identified in the General Practice Research Database (GPRD) in the UK. Six hundred and twenty three patients had no prior episode of peptic ulcer disease, 384 had peptic ulcer antecedents and in 13 information was not available. Forty-five patients died (mortality rate: 4.4 per 100 person-months; 95% CI: 3.3 - 5.9) within a month of the PUB. Patients with no peptic ulcer antecedent faced a greater risk of dying than patients with antecedents (RR=3.0; 95%CI: 1.2-7.1). Elderly patients, those undergoing surgery, and current users of acid-suppressing drugs or non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), all presented an increased mortality risk. Patients presenting with their first ever episode of PUB carry a higher case-fatality than those with previous episodes of peptic ulcer. Keywords: Cohort study; mortality; peptic ulcer; bleeding; population-based study. 2 Epidemiology. 1998;9:452-456. There is a wide variation in mortality reported by different authors for upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Estimates from several case series of patients with gastrointestinal bleeding, including peptic ulcer and other diseases, show a case-fatality between 2% and 14%1,2,3. Deaths mainly occur among elderly people, or those with severe comorbidity 2. Among the different underlying causes of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, peptic ulcer disease is the single largest clinical entity, accounting for 30-60% of all cases 2 ,4,5,6. A substantial decline in mortality rates from peptic ulcer has been reported in Europe since mid- 1980s. This trend has been attributed to therapeutic advances (including the introduction of H2 -receptor antagonists) by some authors7,8. Other reports did not show this decline among elderly patients9,10. Data on prognosis in patients with peptic ulcer bleed in recent years are limited11,12. In addition, most of the published studies did not include information on history of peptic ulcer. In one of these studies, there was a suggestion that patients with a first episode of peptic ulcer bleeding (PUB) presented a greater mortality risk than patients with recurrent PUB1 1. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a study on the short term mortality rate in a large population-based cohort of patients with PUB in the UK. Our main goal was to study the mortality related to peptic ulcer bleed in a well defined cohort of patients with an episode of peptic ulcer bleed in the month following the episode of PUB. We evaluated the role of peptic ulcer disease (PUD) antecedents and other predictive factors on the risk of dying. 3 Epidemiology. 1998;9:452-456. POPULATION AND METHODS Data resource Approximately four million residents in England and Wales are registered with general practitioners (GPs) who participate in the General Practice Research Database (GPRD). This scheme comprises over 2,000 GPs who use computers in their offices for the purpose of recording medical patient information in a standard manner. They have agreed to provide the information anonymously to the Office of National Statistics (ONS) and to allow the information to be used for research projects. The information recorded includes demographics, medical diagnoses, referrals to consultant and hospital, and a register of written prescriptions. Prescriptions are automatically produced from the computer and recorded on the patient's computerized file. A previous study using this computerized data source has documented that over 90% of all referrals are entered on the GPs' computers with a code that reflects the clinical diagnosis13,14,15. An additional requirement of this data resource is that the indication for any new course of therapy be entered in the computer. In addition, the GP may record laboratory results and other medical data in a free text comment field. A modification of the OXMIS classification is used to code specific diagnoses, and a drug dictionary based on the Prescription Pricing Authority drug dictionary is used to record drugs. Ascertainment of study cohort In the GPRD we identified patients aged 30 to 89 years old who were admitted to hospital for an episode of upper gastrointestinal bleeding between January 1991 and March 1994. Patients had to be free from cancer, oesophageal varices, cirrhosis, Mallory-Weiss syndrome and intestinal vascular pathologies. We reviewed manually the computerized patient profiles of these patients to eliminate persons with 4 Epidemiology. 1998;9:452-456. one of the following conditions: patients presenting only an episode of haemorrhagic gastritis or duodenitis and patients with perforated peptic ulcer. After revision, 1,020 patients with a diagnosis of peptic ulcer bleeding involving the stomach or duodenum constituted our final study cohort. Some of these patients were included in a previous epidemiologic study evaluating the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding associated with NSAID use16. We considered the first day of bleeding as the start date of follow-up (index PUB) and followed each study member for a period of one month. We identified all deaths and recorded the date. We defined PUB related death as any death within a month of the episode of PUB. We defined patients having prior episodes of peptic ulcer disease, with or without bleed before start date, as patients with PUD antecedents. The previous episode had to antecede the index PUB by more than three months to be considered antecedent. For patients where historical information was not complete on computer files (N=772), we sent to the GPs a questionnaire requesting them to send a copy of medical records and to determine whether the episode of index PUB was the first ever or a recurrent one. Response rate was 88% and patient confidentiality was preserved in all stages. Also, we used information from both the computer files and the medical records for ascertaining the following variables. We classified the site of bleeding using four categories: gastric and/or pyloric, duodenal, multiple (both gastric and duodenal), and, for those with no specific mention of site, as undiagnosed site. We recorded acid-suppressing drug use before the index date (H2 receptor antagonists and proton pump inhibitors) and categorized the exposure as non-use (when there was not a single prescription before start date), current use (when the most recent prescription was between day 1 and 60 before start date), or past use (when the most recent prescription was more than 60 days before start date). We categorized aspirin and NSAID exposure in a 5 Epidemiology. 1998;9:452-456. similar way. We also recorded alcohol consumption and categorized patients as abstainers/occasional drinkers when they imbibed less than 2 units of alcohol per week, light drinkers if they consumed 2 to 15 units per week, and moderate to heavy drinkers when their consumption was more than 16 units per week17. Body mass index (BMI) was also recorded, as well as smoking. To ascertain comorbidity, we identified all patients with a diagnosis before the start date of any of the following groups of diseases: cerebrovascular, cardiovascular, respiratory diseases and diabetes. We grouped all these diseases under the variable, comorbidity. We created separate category for variables with missing information. Analysis We analyzed PUB related mortality during the one month following the episode of PUB, calculating the mortality rates and 95% confidence intervals. We used life tables to compare survival for patients with or without PUD antecedents. There was no live withdrawals from the life table during the month of follow-up. We used Cox proportional regression analysis to estimate relative risks (RRs) of mortality18. Separate analyses were performed to see whether age, sex, site of PUB and other factors such as smoking, BMI, alcohol consumption and drug use were modifiers of the mortality risk. We reported estimates of RR adjusted for age and sex. RESULTS During the one month follow-up, 45 patients (4.4%) died in our cohort of 1,020 cases of PUB; the remaining 975 were still alive at the end of the month, as there was no loss to follow-up. Table 1 shows the distribution of all studied potential risk factors according to antecedents of PUD. Sixty two percent of the study cohort were males. The primary source of hemorrhage was in the duodenum in 58% of the subjects. There were 623 patients with no PUB antecedent, 384 with antecedents 6 Epidemiology. 1998;9:452-456. and in 13 patients information was not available. Out of the 384 with antecedents, 235 had a history of peptic ulcer without bleeding and the remaining 149 had an earlier episode of bleeding peptic ulcer. During the first month, 45 patients died (mortality rate: 4.4 per 100 person-months; 95% CI: 3.3- 5.9). Of these deaths, 27% occurred during the first day of admission. The probability of surviving for one month was higher among patients with PUD antecedents (Figure 1). The relative risk of dying in patients with no PUD antecedent was 3.0 (95%CI: 1.2 - 7.1) compared with patients with PUD antecedents (table 2). This increased risk was present in all age groups (data not shown). The relative risk of dying among patients with no antecedent went up to 3.5 (95%CI: 1.4 - 8.8) when we adjusted for acid-supressing drug and NSAID use. Patients with antecedents of peptic ulcer without bleeding had approximately the same risk of dying compared with those with bleeding peptic ulcer antecedents (RR=1.4; 95%CI: 0.3 - 7.7). Age was the most important predictor of mortality. Females presented a higher mortality as well as patients taking acid-suppressing drugs or NSAIDs at the time of the bleed. Case-fatality was the same irrespective of the site of bleeding except for patients in whom the primary site could not be ascertained (RR= 3.6; 95%CI: 1.4 - 8.8). Four of the six fatal cases among patients with an undiagnosed site of bleeding died during the first day. Another important predictor of mortality was undergoing surgery (RR=6.0; 95%CI: 1.6 - 22.5). Patients with comorbidity presented a similar mortality risk as those free of comorbidity. None of the individual disease categories grouped under comorbidity was associated with a relative risk greater than 1.5 (data not shown). DISCUSSION 7 Epidemiology. 1998;9:452-456. Patients with a first episode of PUB appear to have a greater risk of dying than patients with recurrent episodes of peptic ulcer disease. In this population, age was the major predictor of mortality, as in most studies2,11,12,19,20. Although incidence of PUB was less in women than men, case fatality among women was higher than in men2 , 2 0. Comparisons with previous studies are hindered by differences in study populations.We only included patients with peptic ulcer haemorrhage and not upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to other causes. Twenty three percent and 15% in our study cohort had a history of peptic ulcer without bleeding or with bleeding, respectively. Corresponding figures in other studies were 17% and 10% in one study21, and 22% and 10% in another22. Other studies analyzing only antecedents of gastrointestinal bleeding reported estimates of prevalence between 26% and 40%7 ,23. Haemorrhage from peptic ulcer is a serious condition associated with a considerable mortality. Three follow-up studies among patients with gastric ulcer bleeding reported a case-fatality ranging from 7% to 13% during the index admission1 9 , 2 0 , 2 2. More recent studies reported a mortality rate at one month ranging from 5% to 7%5 ,24. Our estimate of 4.4% is near the lower extreme of that range. It has been reported that patients bleeding from a gastric ulcer are at higher risk of dying than patients with a duodenal bleed1 1 ,25. We found little difference; only patients with an undiagnosed site had a greater mortality. As endoscopy is usually carried out within 24 hours of admission, and more than half of deaths among patients with an undiagnosed site occurred during the first day of hospitalization, one could postulate that owing to the urgency of the clinical condition in this subset of patients, either endoscopic examination was not performed, or visualization of the site was impossible. 8 Epidemiology. 1998;9:452-456. Patients who had surgery carried a mortality risk six times greater than for those not operated. Other studies with a larger proportion of patients undergoing surgery found a similar increased risk between six and eight fold11,19 related to surgery. Some authors found that the presence of associated diseases, such as cardiovascular, chronic respiratory, renal and liver failures, rheumatologic disorders and cancer were major prognostic factors of all-cause mortality12,19,23,26,27. In our study, we did not observed this relation. We only studied mortality in the month subsequent to PUB, and we excluded patients with cancer, who accounted for many of the excess deaths in a previous study1 2. In our data smoking was not associated with a major increased risk of mortality after a PUB, similar to what has been reported by others28. Patients with moderate or heavy alcohol consumption faced an increased risk of mortality, but information on smoking, alcohol consumption and body mass index was not available in a sizable proportion of patients (20 to 37%). A study on risk factors for rebleeding and mortality of PUB patients by Branicki showed that patients with no history of upper gastrointestinal bleed had a higher mortality rate (7%) than patients with a previous bleed (2%)1 1. In our study, we found the increase in mortality to be three-fold in patients with no antecedent. Patients with antecedents have survived at least one episode of peptic ulcer disease, and are likely to receive more extensive careful medical management, including preventive therapy and health care surveillance. They may also seek earlier assistance. These factors, in addition to the different natural history of peptic ulcer, may contribute to the better prognosis. In addition, patients hospitalized for a PUB with history of peptic ulcer disease may be more likely to be referred for early elective surgery1 9 , 2 7. 9 Epidemiology. 1998;9:452-456.

Jane Lynch to host NBC's 'Hollywood Game Night'
LOS ANGELES (AP) - NBC is launching a celebrity game show with Jane Lynch as host.
The network said Friday that it ordered eight episodes of "Hollywood Game Night" from producer-actor Sean Hayes.
The network says the former "Will & Grace" actor is basing the show on his own "game nights." NBC says the new series will mix celebrities with regular folks who have the chance to compete for money.
Lynch already stars in Fox's "Glee," and she's also set to make her Broadway debut in May in a revival of "Annie."
NBC says "Hollywood Game Night" is planned for late summer but no air date has been set.

Product description
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are. Thoreau's account of his solitary and self-sufficient home in the New England woods remains an inspiration to the environmental movement - a call to his fellow men to abandon their striving, materialistic existences of quiet desperation' for a simple life within their means, finding spiritual truth through awareness of the sheer beauty of their surroundings.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-62) was born in Concord, Massachusetts and educated at Harvard. He became a follower and a friend of Emerson, and described himself as a mystic and a transcendentalist. Although he published only two books in his lifetime, Walden (from which this book is taken) is regarded as a literary masterpeice and one of the most significant books of the 19th century.

1993 Subaru Impreza Question: check engine light flashing
the check engine light has been flashing for a year can't use the code reader because my car is a 93 the code reader is for 96 and up what do I do - justin19
Answer 1
Your car has OBD1 diagnostics. This standard only looks for shorts and opens in key engine circuits and is not as comprehensive as later on board diagnostics in newer cars. To find out how to retrieve the codes stored in the computer of your vehicle (find out why the check engine light is on) follow the link below. On the top of the page click on the top right of the page where it says "Trouble Codes". http://www.batauto.com/ - patrick mannion

You can do a lot with both a Pringle and its tubular canister. In fact, no matter what you do with 'em, you don't just eat' em, indulging in and enjoying their salty, junk food goodness. The 'Anthem' commercial proves that. What's the high-octane rock song in the spot?
Who cares about the price of planet tickets or the length of travel time? When you get to spend the holidays and ring in the new year with family, that time is priceless. In MasterCard's 2013 'Arrivals' commercial, people reunite at airport arrival gates while a gentle, acoustic guitar-driven song plays.
Did any of you see Kelly Clarkon's holiday special on TV last night? I guess it was on NBC at around 10 p.m. I ended up watching something different not even knowing it was on. It sounded like a great show. Who saw it? Give a review!
'Sons of Anarchy''s sixth season came to a close with the exceptionally brutal two-hour finale "A Mother's Work," likely leaving but one season remaining for Kurt Sutter's nigh-Shakespearean epic. We've heard rumors of a potential prequel series before, but with the end in sight, what does Sutter himself have to say about FX's intent to develop a 'Sons of Anarchy' miniseries exploring the "Original 9"?
You know I'm not a good sleeper, so I've become quite the Netflix Junkie.
My most recent is "Army Wives" and I gotta say "Roland Burton" the psychologist husband of Lt Joan Burton has gone on my record for the most amazing husband on earth!
Fox didn't like how the focus of "American Idol" was on the judges. The drama between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey was too much! The network has pledged to return the focus on the contestants and their stories. For more sneak peaks keep reading!
Twitter is on fire -- but not on the official #TheSoundofMusicLive, but rather on #SoundofMusicstruggles. If the audience could get past the inexplicable hissing throughout the show, they then needed to forgive the cast's terrible performances. Anyone that kind was truly challenged by Carrie Underwood's inability to act. I'll let Twitter do the talking:
The city of Sunnyside Washington's 25th Annual lighted farm implement parade will take place on Saturday December 7th at 6:30 pm. This is the Northwest's premier lighted parade since 1989. This event is held downtown and boasts more than 50 farm implements, vehicles, and floats covered with decorative lights.
NBC's 'Dracula' may not have scared up the supernatural ratings one would think becoming of a Jonathan Rhys-Meyers take on the iconic vampire, but will 'The Wolfman' really get the blood flowing? Sources report that work has begun on a new adaptation of the classic movie monster for NBC's horror lineup, but with a surprising source of inspiration.
Frankie Muniz has suffered another mini-stroke just a year after his first one, he shared with his followers on Twitter yesterday, Nov. 25.
Katia Winter is the Swedish actress playing Katrina Crane, Ichabod's wife in the hit FOX show "Sleepy Hollow. She joined us on the Morning Show to talk about tonight's new episode and didn't mince words about Lt. Abbie Mills.

Now accepting applications for the 2015-16 School Year. Apply today!
"We like the idea of happiness being emphasized as a measure of success… the IDEA School's philosophy fits with the educational experience we envision for our daughter."
– Cecelia and Daniel, parents of Kindergartener
We are an independent K-8 school focused on student inquiry and social-emotional development.
We are inspired by the work of Brightworks, the Ashoka Changemaker Schools, and the Reggio Emilia philosophy. We believe all children are intrinsically motivated learners and constructors of knowledge, and enjoy being productive.
We are currently K-5 and will add a grade a year until we reach K-8. Our students learn in mixed-age groups with multiple collaborators (teachers), with plenty of opportunities for smaller group and individual work through our projects and explorations. For a look inside the IDEA School check out our Blog.
We engage our students in developmentally appropriate project-based-learning based on the students' interests, ideas and questions. Our projects focus on real-world challenges to be resolved and always have an authentic audience.
We built the IDEA School on the basic premise that if children are allowed to follow their interests and pose and seek the answers to their own questions, and if teachers collaborate with them to extend upon the learning in which the children are naturally engaged, amazing things can happen.
For a look at our curriculum and pedagogy, click here.
For information on how to apply, click here.
We Believe:
- Children of all ages are intrinsically motivated learners, capable of extraordinary insight, passion and joy in their learning.
- We have the opportunity to truly nurture our children's intrinsic motivation to learn. It is an opportunity we cannot afford to miss.
- Collaboration is central to learning, and children who feel a strong sense of community do better – in school and in life.
- Authentic assessment allows us to truly measure what children know and can do, and partner with them to help them push their learning further.
Thank you for your interest in the IDEA School. We're glad you're here!

Oh Tiger! Just when we think the headlines surrounding your scandalous affairs are about to die down, we get more juicy details. Tiger Woods reportedly paid his first mistress Rachel Uchitel $10 million dollars to keep quiet!
If you had a hard time keeping up with Tiger's mistresses, Rachel was Tiger's first mistress. She's the reason his scandal made headlines to begin with.
Mistress: Tiger Didn't Feel Guilty About Cheating
After news of their affair went public, she hired Gloria Allred (of course!) and had scheduled a press conference to dish on the dirty details about her scandalous affair with Tiger. Just a few hours after she announced that she was going to hold a press conference, it was canceled. Why? There are 10 million reasons why.
According to TMZ, Rachel reportedly has a lot of dirt on Tiger and he was scared a press conference would ruin his career, so he paid her roughly $10 million dollars to keep quiet. She in exchange signed an ironclad confidentially agreement.
Report: Tiger's Wife Elin Nordegren is Pregnant
Of course after Rachel, over a dozen other mistresses came forward claiming to have had affairs with Tiger. No word on whether anyone else was paid hush money, but we have a feeling Elin Nordegren isn't going to be too thrilled about her husbands mistress walking away with $10 million.

In many large threaded applications, synchronizing all of the threads by use of barriers can results in significant wasted processing time. If the application lends itself, loosely synchronous barriers instead of strictly synchronous barriers should be used and can recover lost time.
Phasing Barriers for Performance
Optimizing Navier-Stokes Equations
Correct and Efficient Code – HYDRO2D
Simulation of physical processes such as the waves in an ocean or the wake behind a boat, although similar in a number of ways, require different approaches. With current systems designed with many parallel computational units, it is important to take advantage of the range of architectural features. Using HYDRO2D, the performance of the code can be examined and improved by taking advantage of a range of system features.
Code Modernization – Why it is so Important
For about 40 years, developers and users could count on an increase in CPU performance that would make applications run faster. However, with the slowdown in constant clock rate increases being replaced by additional core counts and even more new instructions, rethinking algorithms, their use of the latest APIs, and using the latest compilers has become critical for the next generation of application performance enhancements.
Leveraging Parallelism on Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessors and Multicore Processors
Video: Computer Architecture and Structured Parallel Programming
In this video from the 2014 Argonne Training Program on Extreme-Scale Computing, James Reinders presents: Computer Architecture and Structured Parallel Programming. "At ATPESC 2014, we captured 67 hours of lectures in 86 videos of presentations by pioneers and elites in the HPC community on topics ranging from programming techniques and numerical algorithms best suited for leading-edge HPC systems to trends in HPC architectures and software most likely to provide performance portability through the next decade and beyond."
