Biconnected component
In graph theory, a biconnected component (or 2-connected component) is a maximal biconnected subgraph. Any connected graph decomposes into a tree of biconnected components called the block tree of the graph. The blocks are attached to each other at shared vertices called cut vertices or articulation points. Specifically, a cut vertex is any vertex whose removal increases the number of connected components.
The classic sequential algorithm for computing biconnected components in a connected undirected graph is due to John Hopcroft and Robert Tarjan (1973).[1] It runs in linear time, and is based on depth-first search. This algorithm is also outlined as Problem 22-2 of Introduction to Algorithms (both 2nd and 3rd editions).
The idea is to run a depth-first search while maintaining the following information:
- the depth of each vertex in the depth-first-search tree (once it gets visited), and
- for each vertex v, the lowest depth of neighbors of all descendants of v in the depth-first-search tree, called the lowpoint.
The depth is standard to maintain during a depth-first search. The lowpoint of v can be computed after visiting all descendants of v (i.e., just before v gets popped off the depth-first-search stack) as the minimum of the depth of v, the depth of all neighbors of v (other than the parent of v in the depth-first-search tree) and the lowpoint of all children of v in the depth-first-search tree.
The key fact is that a nonroot vertex v is a cut vertex (or articulation point) separating two biconnected components if and only if there is a child y of v such that lowpoint(y) ≥ depth(v). This property can be tested once the depth-first search returned from every child of v (i.e., just before v gets popped off the depth-first-search stack), and if true, v separates the graph into different biconnected components. This can be represented by computing one biconnected component out of every such y (a component which contains y will contain the subtree of y, plus v), and then erasing the subtree of y from the tree.
The root vertex must be handled separately: it is a cut vertex if and only if it has at least two children. Thus, it suffices to simply build one component out of each child subtree of the root (including the root).
GetArticulationPoints(i, d)
visited[i] = true
depth[i] = d
low[i] = d
childCount = 0
isArticulation = false
for each ni in adj[i]
if not visited[ni]
parent[ni] = i
GetArticulationPoints(ni, d + 1)
childCount = childCount + 1
if low[ni] >= depth[i]
isArticulation = true
low[i] = Min(low[i], low[ni])
else if ni <> parent[i]
low[i] = Min(low[i], depth[ni])
if (parent[i] <> null and isArticulation) or (parent[i] == null and childCount > 1)
Output i as articulation point
Other algorithms[edit]
A simple alternative to the above algorithm uses chain decompositions, which are special ear decompositions depending on DFS-trees.[2] Chain decompositions can be computed in linear time by this traversing rule. Let C be a chain decomposition of G. Then G is 2-vertex-connected if and only if G has minimum degree 2 and C1 is the only cycle in C. This gives immediately a linear-time 2-connectivity test and can be extended to list all cut vertices of G in linear time using the following statement: A vertex v in a connected graph G (with minimum degree 2) is a cut vertex if and only if v is incident to a bridge or v is the first vertex of a cycle in C - C1. The list of cut vertices can be used to create the block-cut tree of G in linear time.
In the online version of the problem, vertices and edges are added (but not removed) dynamically, and a data structure must maintain the biconnected components. Jeffery Westbrook and Robert Tarjan (1992) [3] developed an efficient data structure for this problem based on disjoint-set data structures. Specifically, it processes n vertex additions and m edge additions in O(m α(m, n)) total time, where α is the inverse Ackermann function. This time bound is proved to be optimal.
Uzi Vishkin and Robert Tarjan (1985) [4] designed a parallel algorithm on CRCW PRAM that runs in O(log n) time with n + m processors. Guojing Cong and David A. Bader (2005) [5] developed an algorithm that achieves a speedup of 5 with 12 processors on SMPs. Speedups exceeding 30 based on the original Tarjan-Vishkin algorithm were reported by James A. Edwards and Uzi Vishkin (2012).[6]

Argentina defender Marcos Angeleri will miss the upcoming 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ qualifiers against Colombia and Ecuador through injury.
It is feared the Estudiantes right-back tore the cruciate ligaments in his right knee in a Clausura match at Tigre last night. An official diagnosis is expected later today, but Estudiantes coach Alejandro Sabella is expecting the worst.
He said: "It was a terrible night. Marcos means a lot for us. Angeleri had a big chance to go to Europe and it is a big blow for both the player and the club. We are all very shocked by this."
Argentina coach Diego Maradona is expected to call up a replacement for the 26-year-old into his squad for Saturday's home match with Colombia and the trip to Ecuador on 10 June.

Josh Wolf and Brad Williams to Appear at Comedy Works, Now thru 10/7
Josh Wolf will perform stand-up at Comedy Works Larimer Square, October 5 and 6.
When he's not appearing in his weekly spot on Chelsea Lately or filming his top rated web series College Experiment for foxsports.com, Wolf can be seen doing stand-up. His unique, honest, and high-energy style of storytelling has made him a favorite at Comedy Clubs across the country.
Josh wrote for many shows like Yes, Dear, Will Smith's All of Us, and Cuts starring Shannon Elizabeth. He was cast on Last Comic Standing and was on the season finale as one of the Last Comics Downloaded. Since that time, he has had a recurring role on My Name is Earl, Raising Hope, played the role of Jack in the musical version of Sideways, and done several hosting type jobs for E! He also played himself on The Colbert Report and Most Annoying People of 2009.
Josh currently is writing a feature film for Adam Sandler's company. You can also see Josh on the road most weekends either opening for Chelsea Handler or Larry the Cable Guy, with the Comedians of Chelsea Lately.
Brad Williams is set to appear at Comedy Works Landmark Village, tonight, October 4 - 7.
Brad is a little person, which is what some of his material revolves around. Brad toured with Carlos Mencia for 5 years as several tours' opening act. He has made numerous appearances on Mind of Mencia and has also appeared on Live at the Gotham, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and Pitboss. He has also performed for the troops all over the world. In April 2011 he released his first full-length comedy album entitled, "Coming Up Short."
Brad's show is exceptionally energetic and Robin Williams called him, "Prozac with a head." Brad's ability to make humorous observations on disability, relationships, sex, and race are winning over audiences and proving that anyone can overcome their shortcomings.

VIDEO: Lego robot solves any Rubik's Cube in 12 seconds
A chap called Mike Robson has built a robot from Lego Mindstorms parts called "CubeStormer" which can solve any 3x3 Rubik's Cube in less than 12 seconds. In many cases it can do it in less than 5. You can see it in action in the video above.
How does that compare to humans? Well, the world record is currently held by a Dutchman named Erik Akkersdijk who in 2008 solved a random cube in 7.08 seconds. Chris Dzoan solved a cube one-handed in 11.97 seconds in January, and in 2008 a Hungarian named Milán Baticz solved 4786 cubes in 24 hours.
So robots haven't quite got the jump on us yet, no doubt it's just a matter of time...

Lewiston Woman Wanted for Food Stamp Fraud | Crime
A $15,000 bench warrant was recently issued in Lewiston's Second District Court for a 45-year-old Lewiston woman who failed to appear for sentencing on four felony counts of fraudulent use of Food Stamps.
According to Tom Shanahan with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, the agency began investigating Tina Painter in February of 2012 after learning that she had been using a Food Stamp card that belonged to someone else who was incarcerated in the Nez Perce County Jail.
"Being incarcerated and receiving food stamps is prohibited and Food Stamp recipients are required to notify the program if they are incarcerated," Shanahan says.
While investigating the inmate, the state discovered that the inmate's Food Stamp card had been accessed multiple times during his incarceration. From September 2011 to February 2012, his food stamp card had been used 11 times for a total of $799, all the time while being incarcerated.
"During this investigation, the Department was able to obtain information that implicated Tina Painter as the one who had obtained the inmate's Food Stamp card and was using it at various grocery stores for personal use," according to Shanahan.
Painter was subsequently contacted and interviewed at the Asotin County Jail in Clarkston after being arrested on unrelated charges.
"Tina admitted to taking the inmate's Food Stamp card and using it while he was incarcerated. The Department also learned that Tina, who was also receiving Idaho Food Stamps, had given her Food Stamp card away to be used while she was incarcerated on unrelated charges. The investigation determined that only one unauthorized transaction for $97 was done using Tina's card while she was in jail," Shanahan added.
Painter pleaded guilty to the four counts of fraudulent use of a Food Stamp card and the department is asking that she pay restitution of $896 for those monies that were fraudulently spent. Painter was due to be sentenced on June 18th, but failed to appear for her sentencing.

My favorite high end gel liner. It's creamy, for me it does smudge a bit, but once I set it with a black eye shadow, it stays on all day. Although, it is a bit pricey, it`s definitely worth trying and it is worth the money. I've gone through 2 jars of this gel liner, and I just cannot bring myself to try another kind.
I would recommend this for all the gel liner lovers :)

This is my favourite gel liner. The texture is creamy enough so it doesn't drag along my eye but the creaminess doesn't mean it smudges like crazy. I've had mine for about a year and a half and it hasn't dried out at all. I heard somewhere that you're supposed to keep these kind of products upside down to prevent them from drying out so who knows if that's helping too!
My eye shape is such that my eyelids fold over which then covers the majority of any liner applied. This can be annoying cos I get really oily lids and hence eye products smudge and crease really badly on me. However I find that if I do a nice, thin winged out liner I get minimal smudging and creasing. If I've been wearing this for pretty much the whole day, it's only towards the end that it starts to smudge on the outer corner and underneath my eye. This is very good considering how oily my lids get.
To apply the gel liner, I use the small eyeliner brush that comes with Maybelline's gel liner and it works really well. I need a small tip brush to apply gel liners otherwise I can't do it properly! However, I did buy MAC's 163 brush and though I'm still getting the hang of using an angled brush, I think in general, this gel liner would be very easy to work with regardless of what kind of liner brush is used.
I also have a small gap in my eyebrow where hair just doesn't grow. This liner is pretty black so I just take most of the product off the brush to lightly fill in the gap. I have black eyebrow hairs so this would obviously not working for everyone. But for anyone who has black eyebrows with a few random gaps to fill, this works great but just remember to use the product very lightly to give off a more grey-black colour.
I purchased Bobbi Brown's liner in Hong Kong so I can't remember how much I paid for it. However if you were to buy it here in Australia, it would cost $35 which isn't too bad considering how expensive some cosmetics can be.
I haven't even thought about repurchasing this since it's lasted me such a long time. I don't wear eye makeup very often and after one and half years, have only made a small dent in the product.

I had this for a long time but I never used it because I preferred a softer black. But I found when I wore dramatic eye shadows, the softer black didn't really stand out a lot, so I wanted something darker and more dramatic. I discovered this sitting around and tried it out. Although I like BB gel eyeliners (and I think maybe they were the first, or one of the first, to put these out on the market) I prefer MAC Fluidlines. Fluidlines are creamier and easier to apply, and both wear like iron and are water-proof and smudge-proof. I find that BB, however, tends to flakes off. And also flakes of it fall into the eyes and irritate them. I've since discovered Essence black gel eyeliner and use it instead of the BB one. It's actually better, it doesn't flake off. But still kudos to Bobbi Brown for introducing these to the world.
By the way, for those of you who have problems removing this with makeup remover, use OIL instead! I always use oil (sweet almond, coconut, even baby oil will work), just rub it all around your eyes wherever you have makeup, let sit for a couple of seconds and wipe off with a dry or damp wipe/cotton pad/tissue. It will just MELT OFF like a dream!

My favorite eyeliner for daytime. Applies on smooth with the matching Bobbi brown eyeliner brush. Kind of melts in with my eyelid, which makes it look much more natural and graceful for the daytime. Also, it really stays on for a long time, all day. Doesn't smudge or grease off, I love this eyeliner. Also blends in really naturally with eyeshadows. I also recommend the other colors for their long lasting gel eyeliners. Natural looking is the best way I can describe this line.

Honestly cannot see why this is a HG for so many people. I've been using this for a few months now. While I like the effect this eyeliner gives, the effect only lasts for the first two hours I'm out. After that, the eyeliner somehow transfers from my upper eyelid to my lower eyelid (I did not apply any on my lower eyelid at all) and leaves me with panda eyes.
With a good eye primer (I'm using Etude House Proof 10 eye primer), this lasts longer and transfers less. But before I started using eye primer and just used normal primer for my eyelids, I would sometimes go home at the end of the day with barely any eyeliner left on my lids and a whole panda circle under my eyes. And the worst part is, despite cleaning my face thoroughly with make up remover, the next day I wake up to find another smudged black line on my undereye. Feels really bad for my tender under eye area to keep cleaning it with make up remover but its the only way to get the black stuff off!!
Given the price of this eyeliner, I expected much more from it. I'm going to look out for Japanese or Korean brands instead.

This is the best gel eyeliner I've used and I've been wearing eyeliner daily for about 10 years. This product is creamy and applies easily, never tugging at the skin. what I like most is the fact that is really does last all day even if you manage to get your face wet.
A great alternative is The L'Oreal Super liner 24H Waterproof gel eyeliner.

I have a love/hate relationship with this. I've had this for 7-8 months now and I waited until I used this a whole lot to review it. I've been using gel/cream type liners almost daily for around six years so I think I'm pretty knowledgeable and experienced with them. I've used gel/cream liners from many brands such as ELF, MAC, Smashbox, Tarte, Jane, Stila, Sonia Kashuk, L'oreal, Wet N Wild, etc. I LOVE how smoothly this applies. It just glides very easily and it's easier to make nice crisp lines compared to other brands. It's perfect for a winged eyeliner. The pot has not dried out at all and I've had it for a long time now so that's a huge plus. I've had many other gel liners that would dry out within 3 months. It is also super dark compared to most gel liners I've used. You have to layer it a bit but the result is amazing. You get a true black with this stuff. Now onto the bad part...this stuff transfers! I have dry eyelids...I have zero oil on my eyelids but everytime I use this, the product transfers to my undereye area right around the outer corner (I normally do not use any eyeliner on my undereye area). It happens every single time even on a cold day when the weather is not an issue. It wouldn't be such a big deal to me if the transfer was minimal but it's pretty obvious...even my sister pointed it out to me before and she's is not a makeup person...she doesn't really pay attention to anyone's makeup. It also does not last long on my waterline either but I wasn't really expecting it to anyways bc most products just fade from my waterline. Overall, I don't think it's a bad product but it doesn't live up to its rep. I would not buy this again due to the transferring.

I hated this product. I've been using it for about 4 months of and on and I just really dislike it. I don't find it very pigmented at all, I usually need about 3 layers to get a nice black line. It doesn't stay on for more than a few hours. It smudges. The pot dries out really quickly. If I do a wing it normally disapeers in a couple of hours.
For the price and the hype I'm utterly dissapointed.

I don't know why many people claimed this stuff is their HG.. I find this product smudged easily and make my eyes like panda (terribly ugly) after wearing it for only 1hour..
It doesn't long last, dries quickly and it's very pricey too..
Well, maybe my eyelid is very oily so this product doesn't work for me.. I prefer japanese brands for my eyeliner such as k pallette and kiss me heroine, it's cheaper and long last even for my terribly oily eyelid..

Mia Rose, Air Therapy Orange
Posted by Reviewer1029905 on Jan 01, 2009
It arrived so quickly in the UK and was exactly the one I needed to replace one that had lasted over 22 years whilst retaining the same scent of orange.
I Love This Stuff
Posted by Reviewer1769894 on Jun 15, 2010
The Original Orange Air Therapy from Mia Rose is the absolutely best air freshener I have ever used. It leaves a very fresh and natural scent, and seems to absorb the odors in a very sort time. We have two small puppies, and sometimes there is p**p to clean up. This air therapy is excellent for eliminating the odor in a matter of seconds. Try it... you won't be disappointed.

Although the cathedral lies just a short walk away, the new estate has a private bishop's chapel that looks like a jet-black monolith. The building has appalled local residents, architects and historical-preservation officials alike. People in the city have already come to disparage it as the "Kaaba of Limburg" because some think it resembles the huge sacred cubical stone structure in Mecca.
A small park has also been built for the bishop. In the evenings, Tebartz-van Elst will now be able to stroll through the designer garden while reading his breviary.
All of the structures on the property are linked by corridors and underground passageways, which the bishop's lawyers say are for "logistical reasons." Workers had to spend weeks under the most trying conditions drilling into the bedrock and pouring a huge amount of concrete.
Of course, the plans also envision a library, guestrooms and a room for storing precious reliquaries. A wood-burning stove in the living room adds to its coziness, and expensive construction materials have been ordered. Still, the bishop stresses that "only native materials" have been used, such as limestone from Bavaria, slate from the Mosel region and wood from central Hesse.
While in Rome for the birthday reception of Pope Benedict XVI, people were puzzled when Tebartz-van Elst said that his new, 120-square-meter (1,300-square-foot) quarters only cost €200,000. But his figure ignores the costs for the reception rooms, chapel, offices and rooms for his driver and the two nuns who assist him. The entire complex reportedly costs at least €5.5 million, and the diocese says that it will pay for anything exceeding that amount itself. The current bishop and his chief administrator, the vicar general, have sole oversight over the diocese's assets. Hardly anyone in Limburg knows its true wealth, and financial authorities haven't looked into it.
The bishop has also tried to deflect criticism by claiming that the decision to build the complex was made before his time. But there are indications that this is not the case. Kamphaus stepped down as Limburg's bishop on Feb. 2, 2007, and the position remained vacant until the end of the year, when the pope appointed Tebartz-van Elst to head the diocese. No decisions like this one could have been made during this interim period, and members of the diocese board say that concrete planning for the complex didn't begin until December 2007 -- and that it was designed according to Tebartz-van Elst's wishes.
Calls for Transparency Limburg's Catholics don't want to follow their bishop anymore. Berthold Nebgen, 69, the longest-serving acolyte at the cathedral, says the bishop himself has "lost all sense of reality." He calls the bishop's private chapel an "eyesore in the heart of the old city," thinks it is "ugly and unneeded" and says it drives "a black wedge between the diocese leadership and the population." He now says he intends to stop performing "all services for the church."
Sigrid Grabmeier, the spokeswoman for the German branch of the international We Are Church initiative, which advocates reforms in the Catholic Church's authority structures, says that the bishop "has apparently lost all sense of the external effects" of his actions.
Opinions about Tebartz-van Elst are also divided among the priests under his control. Huburtus Janssen, 74, a well-known priest in the city, say that "the church's members have a right to transparency."
Frank Speth, a local politician with the center-left Social Democratic Party and a Catholic religion teacher, has also come to sense just how heated the mood has gotten. He received a letter criticizing the diocese's "parallel world of well-filled coffers and secret assets." The very next day, his mailbox held a postcard apparently written by a fanatic supporter of the bishop. It addressed him as "little Frank" and said he wouldn't dare to criticize the Catholic Church if he belonged to a different religion -- because then he would have to "seriously worry about getting a knife between the ribs."

Parents using text, IM, e-mail to avoid kid ears
Parents who want a way to talk so little ears can't hear have moved beyond s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g in favor of a new kid-proof system: the text message.
E-mail, text and instant messaging have become the go-to technology for parents on family outings or at the end of a long day, when mom's chilling on the couch in front of the TV and dad's reading in the bedroom more than a whisper away.
"There was a time when I would get really upset if I was IMed from another room in the house. Now it's a complete parental survival tool," says KellyAnn Bonnell, whose kids are 10 and 15.
Tammy Gold, a parenting coach in Short Hills, N.J., says phones and online tools are particularly important in tight spaces like apartments, where there are fewer secluded spots, and especially with older kids who stay up as late or later than the grown-ups.
"I've had parents who say it's weeks before they can speak," she says. "Parents these days put `sex' into each other's phones or else it won't happen."
Parents in two-BlackBerry households are using the company's free text service and relying on the messaging features on Facebook since they're logging on frequently anyway. Others have come up with languages all their own.
"Should we partake in a visit to the place with aluminum obstacles or cages containing mammals?" Greg Abel and his wife value their synonyms - that's the playground and the zoo - when their kids are listening, especially when more open discussion would likely lead to a sibling spat or major disappointment.
"We have a bright 5-year-old who can spell, so we can't spell out words in front of him," said Abel, from Baltimore, Md. "If we're trying to decide if we should give him ice cream, but only after his younger brother has gone to bed, we might say, `Should we give the elder a frozen confection?'"
With a 2-year-old, Melissa Kaupke in Nashville, Tenn., can still spell that and lots of other things, but she wishes her husband was on board with her own parents' secret language of "Ob." You know the one -- http://bit.ly/az19n4 -- it sounds like you've got rocks in your mouth.
"My parents always used Ob," she says. "My dad's parents did the same thing when he was little. Unfortunately, my husband thinks it's too silly to do, because it works really well."
Mom-of-three Amy Wilson, who wrote the off-Broadway hit "Mother Load" and has a new book out about mothering called "When Did I Get Like This?" relies on e-mail in tight spots, especially when her pack - ages 2, 5 and 7 - was younger.
"I have used it while my husband is driving," she said. "I'm in the passenger seat, and the baby is asleep in back. All of my kids were so attuned to my voice that if I talked at all, they would wake up. So I would sit and look out the window, and as the married couple to-dos occurred to me I would e-mail them to my husband, sitting not even an arm's length away."

PDP put Edo in reverse gear, says Oshiomhole
Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has said that his over three- year old administration, has rescued the state from the brinks and the reverse gear, wrought by the opposition People's Democratic Party (PDP).
Speaking at the May Day rally held at Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City, the governor said that the PDP which ruled the state for 10 years before his advent in November 2008, destroyed all the industries in the state.
"Remember Bendel Brewery was run down by the PDP government, they mismanaged it. As I speak, we are going to pay over N1 billion to settle liabilities in Bendel Brewery to AMCON. Who mismanaged Okpilla Cement Factory? Who did all the wuruwuru over the Juice Factory in Ehor that never produced any juice? You remember the abracadabra over a fertilizer plant that never produced anything. They brought fertilizer from elsewhere and invited President Olusegun Obasanjo to come and commission it. Before Obasanjo got to Abuja, the gates of the plant had been closed".
Reacting to the recent comment by Edo PDP chairman, Dan Orbih that the governor was culpable for the weekend crash in which his convoy was hit by a 911 lorry, Oshiomhole said the statement had clearly revealed the real mastermind behind the incident.
"They arranged their own accident in Afuze few days ago. They thought I would be in my regular vehicle. I've never killed anybody so nobody born of man can kill me. I conquered fear at the age of 17. They let a 911 truck which was carrying nothing loose on my convoy. I'm sad that we lost many lives and spilled much blood but they did not get their target".
"While we were still bringing the people out of the vehicle, the PDP brought out a curious statement condoling people. May God condole them. I asked the motor boy, where were you going, he said the driver only just said he should come without disclosing their mission. The PDP said why should I go to Church on Sunday for thanksgiving. Did they expect me to go and worship at the shrine? They also accused me of driving without a driver's licence. Did I hit any vehicle? Was my car hit? They said the accident was arranged to divert attention. This people are so desperate. They are planning to buy voters' cards. They are trying to doctor the voters' register. Can anybody stop us?"

As regular readers of Sail-World Cruising will know, this is a news magazine, not a forum. However, we received such a response to my question about teen sailor Laura Dekker last week, that we have decided to print a cross-section of the replies, printing both positive and negative responses in the same proportion as the whole.
Guppy, the Juneau Gin Fizz ketch that Laura Dekker is sailing around the world
About 80% of the comments were positive - or at least anti-media, and who at home with a fifteen-year-old finds them an easy proposition anyway?
For the original story, http://www.sail-world.com/CruisingAus/Teen-sailor-Laura-Dekker-lashes-out-against-media/82107!click_here
Sender: TP
Message: If Laura Dekker is irritated by the media, there is in all probability the overwhelming likelihood that, in the best tradition of the paparazzi class, the media are irritating.
Who knew?
Sender: TC
Message: Empathy was never very high on the media's list of priorities and it is likely that this young girl has some way to go in learning to manage her interactions with the hacks who are sent to get the story.
Individuals vary widely in their tolerance of aggressive and insensitive interviews and that is the way we are.
If you want a polished performance, get a politician or a lawyer to do the stuff and the veneer will be good enough, but it will be just that --- a veneer.
Cut the girl some slack and let her get on with the essence of the thing, it is not about how a relatively immature individual responds to the peculiar behaviour of the media, it is really about how she survives the natural nasties, not about the specialised nasties.
Sender: PJ
Message: I can fully understand her, it is sometimes amazing how unprepared journalists are interviewing people. Of course men can not generalize but we all appreciate than journalists are necessary and that is fine as long as they do not act as if the other party should be at their mercy. I run a charity organization for the deaf and yes it makes me furious when they interview me and ask if their are all blind and more silly question. It is also amazing how many journalist just show up too late for their interview and we just have to wait and wait eventually some of them will not even show up. Yes we need you but please have a bit of respect and professionalism, prepare your case, show up in time and accept that journalists are not the most important people in the world. I can fully imagine that after a solo crossing, journalists are not want you have been waiting for.
Sender: WL
Message: Good on her! Journos are a pain... I totally sympathize with her attitude towards them... just look around, especially when some tragic event happens, a flood, fire or earthquake, there are scores of reporters chasing the victims and keep asking them their stupid, insensitive questions like '...so tell us how did you feel when you saw your children drowning?' and a closeup on the face of a devastated person.
Good on ya Laura keep'em at bay!
Sender: JW
Message: Bob Dylan was none too fond of journalists either, when he started out. Laura should be judged on her sailing, not her PR.
Sender: GF
Message: Our new era of technology allows us to communicate on a moments notice. Sometimes it seems as its almost communicating within yourself, because there is no actual human touch or physical involvment with a specific person. At 15 years old Laura will learn that what we think at a moments notice, may change after some reflection and relaxation. I'm sure many of us have said, or thought things we really didn't mean.

> Message: My wife and I had crossed the path of Laura Dekker in St Maarten. We live on our cruising boat and noticed Laura conducting an interview at the St Maarten Yacht Club one late afternoon. It was great to see someone so young living a dream of sailing around the world like ourselves. We are from Sandringham Yacht Club in Melbourne Australia, the home of Jesse Martin who also achieved this feat at the age of 17. I watched and read intently on Sail-World the endeavours of a few of these young achievers in admiration, until our encounter with Laura.
> A few days after our siting of Laura we saw her berthed at Simpson Bay Marina in St Maarten on the Dutch side. We were passing by in our small tender, and Laura was at the stern of her boat. My wife and I slowed down and said ' excuse me Laura you are famous in Australia do you mind us taking your photo?'. She looked at us as if who the hell are you and said 'you can take a photo of the boat but you won't get one of me' and gave us a look that you would not believe. Then turned her back and went down below in her boat.
> We were absolutely gobsmacked by her rudeness, my wife was shocked. It was not like we were invading her privacy and we did ask her for a photo before just trying to snap away. We were amazed. Little did she know that only days before I read an article on Sail-world about her lack of funds for the remaining part of her trip. My wife and had talked about offering some money in support from our cruising funds, and as her boat's bottom was full of barnicles, even offer to dive and clean it for her.
> But after the encounter we decided to do nothing, and several times after we passed her boat with caution, not wanting to make any contact with the rude little teenager. Little does this young girl know that if she presented herself in a manner that accepted the notorierty she has bought on herself, the world 'could' be her oyster. Maybe she would have been better sailing the long and lonely miles non stop and unassisted like some of her counterparts. She won't be getting any assistance from us !
Sender: DS
Message: As a person teen or not and not haveing to rely on the media for total exposure as most celebs Laura has expressed what they would like to say many times over.
Sender: TH
Message: Really, your going on about a kid who wants to sail the planet and her reaction the the mind numbing media blitz. And this is perplexing to you? As one of the media. It would be nice if the media showed up prepared and maybe read an article already published about her before sticking a mic in her face. And forgot her age and focused on her task at hand! Remember she come from a land less Media GAGA than you & I. So, can we all just get on with it. Shut up and sail.
Sender: JB
Message: Dear Editor,
I believe the media should get off of her back and leave the kid alone.
First it was Jessica Watson who had to cop a heap of unwarranted critisism now it is Laura Dekker.
When Laura has successfully completed her journey it will be some other young person attempting to do what most journo's would not have the guts, determination intellect or initiative to attempt.
Give her a fair go and at the end of it we will find another young person worthy of living and contributing to this planet, unlike some of the media who seem to delight in presenting a negative theme most of the time.
What a fine example of our youth Jessica is and Laura will be no different I'm sure
I'm sure that if you or the idiot reporter who questioned her have ever sailed a solo night passage you would know how the poor kid was feeling and I guess the idiot reporter having to ask Laura her name was the icing on the cake and the ultimate insult.
I believe it was Dale Carnegie who once stated - 'The sweetest sound that a human being can ever hear is the sound of their own name'.
Sender: NH
Message: A bit hypocritical being angry at clueless media when the whole purpose of her voyage is to attract clueless media. Maybe her parents forgot to tell her that they plan to live on her media earnings if she finishes the trip.
Yachting media (ie non-clueless on sailing) would cover it anyway, but it is hardly mainstream. And mainstream media knows nothing about sailing. So educate them.
If someone wanted to sail solo around the world in private, no-one would ever need to know. The publicity is always sought by the campaign to promote their sponsors and to make the book and TV rights worth more at the end.
Get over yourself, Laura.

The Toronto Blue Jays have narrowed their managerial search down to Jim Tracy and Jim Riggleman, ESPN.com reported Saturday. The job opened up when John Farrell left to be the Boston Red Sox's new manager a month ago. Tracy resigned as Colorado Rockies' manager in October after the club finished 64-98. Riggleman has been managing the Cincinnati Reds' Class AA affiliate in Pensacola, Fla. He stepped down as Washington Nationals' manager in the middle of the 2011 season when general manager Mike Rizzo refused to discuss a contract extension with him. Toronto made a splash during the week when it agreed to terms with free agent outfielder Melky Cabrera and made a big trade with the Miami Marlins. The Blue Jays got shortstop Jose Reyes, right-handers Josh Johnson and Mark Buehrle, catcher John Buck and utility player Emilio Bonafacio for shortstop Yunel Escobar and a few prospects. The league is reviewing the trade.

Depressive symptoms and episodes dominate the long-term course of bipolar disorder and are associated with high levels of disability and an increased risk of suicide. However, the treatment of bipolar depression has been poorly investigated in comparison with that of manic episodes and unipolar major depressive disorder. The goal of treatment in bipolar depression is not only to achieve full remission of acute symptoms, but also to avoid long-term mood destabilization and to prevent relapses. A depressive presentation of bipolar disorder may often delay the appropriate management and, thus, worsen the long-term outcome. In these cases, an accurate screening for diagnostic indicators of a possible bipolar course of the illness should guide the therapeutic choices, and lead to prognostic improvement. Antidepressant use is still the most controversial issue in the treatment of bipolar depression. Despite inconclusive evidence of efficacy and tolerability, this class of agents is commonly prescribed in acute and long-term treatment, often in combination with mood stabilizers. In this article, we review available treatment options for bipolar depression, and we shall provide some suggestions for the management of the different presentations of depression in the course of bipolar disorder.

text: So, I just took my first visit last weekend, and it was great. I saw almost everything at both parks once, but want to see the couple of things I missed and repeat quite a few things I didn't. So, now I'm planning a second trip. And I know that I want to go after Monsters, Inc. opens in mid-April. And from then, I will have until about till the end of June before I leave Japan (I'm in school here for a year, luckily for me and being able to visit TDR). So anyways, I'm just wondering if any more experienced TDR travelers can tell me when is the slowest time from mid-April to late June, and if you can tell me how they compare to Mid-December crowds that would be great, too. Thanks!

Journalist's solo show presents an illustrated lecture on Gaza Strip horrors
Lawrence Wright is a staff writer for The New Yorker who won a Pulitzer for his history "The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11." In 2006, Wright appeared in his solo stage work, "My Trip to Al-Qaeda," which was then made as a documentary film that premiered just last month.
Wright now considers the horrifying stalemate currently between Israel and Palestine in the Gaza Strip in his latest solo piece, "The Human Scale," which opened Thursday at 3LD Art and Technology Center.
To detail the region's bloody mess of conflicting ideologies, Wright organizes his story around Gilad Shalit, a young Israeli soldier who was kidnapped by Hamas in 2006 and remains to this day a captive. His ransom is the return of 1,400 Palestinian prisoners.
In the years since Shalit's capture, thousands more have died in Gaza — along with far fewer losses in Israel — during ceaseless strife and several waves of military action.
"How do you measure the value of a life?" wonders Wright, who attempts to provide a balanced view of the conflict. He discusses the historic, religious, political, economic and even the genetic aspects of the struggle. He interviews various leaders, visits devastated places and shows many ugly images of human butchery and ruination. The future, concludes Wright after 80 painful minutes, appears grim.
Modestly staged by Oskar Eustis, artistic director for the Public Theater, the presentation is more of an illustrated lecture than a theater piece. A rumpled professorial type, the soft-spoken Wright ambles a bit uneasily around a small platform furnished with a table, chair and Middle Eastern rug.
Behind him, half a dozen overlapping screens are employed to display a mix of still and video images documenting Wright's text. Some of the visuals are terribly graphic — the slaughter caused by a suicide bomber in a Jerusalem restaurant, a 12-year-old girl screaming in anguish at the sight of her slain father amid other dying family members on a Gaza beach — and contrast sharply against Wright's temperate if pensive delivery of his observations.
"The Human Scale" continues through Oct. 31 at 3LD Art and Technology Center, 80 Greenwich St., New York. Call (212) 967-7555 or visit www.publictheater.org.

Malaysia's navy has put its requirement for anti-submarine warfare helicopters at the top of a list of priorities, with the service planning to ask for funding for the procurement during the country's 2011-15 spending plan.
"ASW helicopters are a higher priority than maritime patrol aircraft or other aerial assets. We will need around six to operate with our new Scorpene submarines," says navy chief Adm Abdul Aziz Jaafar. "Money is tight and there are a lot of things that everyone wants, but we'll ask the government to put aside some funds in the 10th Malaysia Plan."
A competition is likely to begin around 2010 at the earliest, with the order likely to include an option for an additional six helicopters, say industry sources in Kuala Lumpur. The contenders are likely to include the AgustaWestland Super Lynx, Kaman SH-2 Seasprite, Kamov Ka-28, NH Industries NH90 and Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk. "Whichever company can give us the better technology, the better it is for us," says Abdul Aziz.
The helicopters would eventually replace the navy's six AgustaWestland Super Lynx 300s and six Eurocopter AS555 Fennecs. The service retired a fleet of Westland Wasps in 1999.
"When you have ASW helicopters, you can work effectively with and against submarines. Both are force multipliers, and their sheer presence will undoubtedly enhance underwater and anti-submarine warfare capability. This is very conducive considering the fact that Malaysia has a large maritime area and vast economic potential that needs to be protected," says Abdul Aziz.
He adds that the service is keen on acquiring maritime patrol aircraft capabilities, with Embraer and Lockheed Martin having held informal talks with the Malaysian government about providing aircraft. "The reality is that this will be an expensive purchase and it is not really our highest priority. When we do go forward on this, we will work together with our colleagues in the air force to decide on the best aircraft."
Priority will also be given to the acquisition of unmanned air vehicles, which can also be used for maritime patrol missions along the Malacca Straits and the South China Sea. "We are giving a greater emphasis on UAVs as we feel that this technology will be useful for us. Again, we will work with the air force," says Abdul Aziz.

If You Forgot, S3 Graphics Does Linux Drivers Too
Last night when checking to see if VIA has made any open-source / Linux progress that went unnoticed (they haven't), that also led me to see what S3 Graphics is up to these days. S3 Graphics doesn't back any open-source driver strategy and they don't have many GPUs on the market, but their binary Linux driver claims to support OpenGL 3, VDPAU, and even kernel mode-setting since last year.

VIA Graphics Still Lack Any Real Linux Progress
While other hardware vendors are constantly improving their open-source support, this isn't the case for all vendors. VIA's open-source Linux support is still in very bad shape -- two and a half years after they had envisioned themselves becoming open-source friendly.

Missing From Linux 2.6.36: VIA's TTM/GEM DRM
The Linux 2.6.36 kernel is set to carry some much-anticipated changes like AppArmor integration, major VFS performance improvements, a likely Btrfs performance regression fix, and quite a few changes when it comes to the graphics Direct Rendering Manager code. Just when it comes to the Linux DRM code in this next kernel release there is quite a bit of fun with the Intel kernel driver better supporting Embedded DisplayPort and tracepoints for page-flipping and vblank, the ATI Radeon kernel driver gaining R600/700 tiling support / support for reading R600 thermal sensors / R300 through R500 Hyper-Z support, and the Nouveau driver supporting KMS with the GeForce GTX 400 series and better DisplayPort capabilities. While the Intel, ATI/AMD, and NVIDIA/Nouveau DRM driver improvements will excite a majority of the desktop Linux user-base caring about open-source graphics drivers for their hardware, it's not enough to excite everyone. In particular, VIA is still missing from the field -- more than two years after they announced a new open-source initiative and promised to better engage within the Linux ecosystem.

How VIA Could Have Not Screwed Its Linux Chances
Yesterday we reported on how VIA's open-source Linux dreams are not materializing and then this morning reported on a new secret driver being developed (xf86-video-openvia) between VIA Technologies, some VIA "friends", and the OpenChrome developers. However, as I said in this morning's VIA article, the situation is still a murky mess, this new OpenVIA driver isn't receiving much work, the DRM code with TTM/GEM memory management is still missing, and these open-source efforts by VIA are not very well organized.
25 May 2010 - But They Screwed Themselves - 23 Comments
VIA's Linux Dreams Are Not Materializing
Back in 2008 there was the announcement from the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit in Texas that VIA had joined the open-source driver bandwagon after having abandoned previous open-source attempts. However, for the past two years, this has largely been a media bluff. VIA Technologies did things like appoint an open-source liaison (Harald Welte, who is actually no longer contracted by VIA and didn't even do much for their efforts), launch a VIA Linux web-site (that is ill-maintained and two years later there are still portions of the site "under construction"), but they have done some things like put out some code and republishing old documentation. We're almost half-way through 2010 and it doesn't look like VIA will be doing much this year for their open-source graphics drivers.

VIA Releases New Documentation, But It's Old
A few weeks back we shared VIA's Linux TODO list, which was very disappointing to say the least. VIA Technologies has gone through several phases of trying to be "open-source friendly" and they certainly try to brand themselves as such, but it's still going to be a year (or longer) before they have a viable open-source driver stack and by that time the VIA hardware that's supported will be dated. Read the above-linked article for all of the details on the matter. This morning, however, VIA Technologies has let their puppets with the OpenChrome driver project release some new documentation -- but this documentation is not actually new.

VIA's DRM Patches Finally Get Some Feedback
A month ago we shared that VIA tried again to push some new DRM code into the mainline Linux kernel. This was months after VIA Technologies had already tried multiple times pushing new Direct Rendering Manager code for its hardware into the kernel, but failed for various reasons. With this latest attempt, the patches received no comments nor were they accepted into the mainline tree. However, this morning they have finally received some comments.

XvMC Comes To xf86-video-unichrome Driver
Earlier this year Luc Verhaegen, one of the key contributors to the RadeonHD graphics driver, was laid off from Novell after a round of cutbacks at their German facility. While remaining unemployed, Luc has contributed to the CoreBoot project with ATI graphics card flashing support and native VGA text mode support, among other work. Additionally, he continues to dabble with his own open-source VIA driver, xf86-video-unichrome.

VIA Keeps Trying For Kernel Inclusion Of Its DRM
Last December the Linux folks at VIA Technologies had released their Chrome 9 series DRM code, which is needed for Linux 3D support with these newer-generation VIA IGPs, but this initial version ended up getting rejected from inclusion into the mainline kernel on the basis of the rest of VIA's 3D stack for the Chrome 9 being closed-source and some problems with the code itself. The situation was similar to that of Intel's Poulsbo DRM being rejected from reaching the mainline Linux kernel earlier this year.

VIA's Improved Framebuffer Driver In Linux 2.6.32
While VIA's Chrome 9 DRM has yet to be accepted into the mainline Linux kernel since its mostly used by VIA's binary-only driver and then recently an updated 2D driver, with the viafb driver outside of X.Org, this frame-buffer driver has picked up many improvements with the Linux 2.6.32 kernel.

VIA Soon To Release Its DRM-Using 2D Driver
Back in June, VIA Technologies rolled out its Chrome 9 DRM (for a second time) in hopes of pushing it into the mainline Linux kernel. At that time, VIA's DRM was again rejected and it led to a discussion over partial open-source drivers since the only user of this interface was their binary-only driver.

VIA Rolls Out Chrome 9 DRM, Pushes For Kernel

S3 Graphics Linux Driver Faster Than Windows?
Back in November we saw the launch of the S3 Graphics Chrome 530 GT and with that they talked up a new magical Linux driver that would provide HD video acceleration support along with OpenGL 3.0 capabilities. But no driver was released, however, a day later it was confirmed by S3 Graphics that they were working on a new Linux driver. Their PR representative said the driver was to be released in December, but that didn't happen. In February they continued to talk up their Linux support but months later there still was no driver. However, that changed in late February when S3 Graphics did in fact roll out a new Linux display driver.

S3 Graphics Responds About Linux Support
Last week S3 Graphics had released the Chrome 540 GTX, which is their newest and fastest PCI Express graphics card. Similar to when announcing the S3 Chrome 540 GT, in the Chrome 540 GTX press release they once again mention Linux support along with OpenGL 3.0 capabilities. However, they talk up Linux support, but fail to provide the support. We have just heard back though from S3 Graphics' Benson Tao, which is the one that previously told us there would be Chrome 500 Linux support in December along with a beta OpenGL 3.0 driver. What though did he have to say this time? His email is below.
