Stepping up its efforts to regain supercomputing dominance from China, the U.S. within the next two years will activate what could be one of the world's fastest computers.
China's nagging pollution problems could start to abate with the help of an IBM project that seeks to predict and control the air quality in Beijing, using new computing technologies.
Supercomputer vendor Cray is trying to make the Lustre file system easier to work with, allowing users to copy material from the file system into a multilayered storage archiving system.
China continues to dominate the high end of the Top500 list of the world's most powerful supercomputers, even as the growth of the computing power on the list seems to be stagnating.
Unisys is phasing out its decades-old mainframe processor, which lags behind in speed and scalability compared to newer chips.
Fujitsu has developed a circuit that could double data rates between CPUs in servers and supercomputers
Hewlett-Packard has entered the market for supercomputers with a new Apollo family of systems, including a high-end machine that has a novel water-based system to keep it cool.
D-Wave wants its quantum computer to surpass the performance of traditional computers in the coming years, and has a processor roadmap that could make that happen.
IBM continues to commercialize its Watson-branded cognitive computing technology, setting up a new Watson business unit and unveiling two new Watson-derived services.
Controversial quantum device maker D-Wave is hoping to find a home for its cutting-edge technology in the high-performance computing (HPC) market.
A network researcher at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has found a potential new use for graphics processing units -- capturing data about network traffic in real time.
Supercomputing power is being concentrated in a smaller number of machines, according to the latest Top 500 list of high-performance computers. Keepers of the list are uncertain how to parse that trend.
Helping scientific supercomputing take advantage of emerging big-data technologies, high-performance computing manufacturer Cray is releasing a set of packages promising to optimize the process of running Hadoop on the company's XC30 machines.
In the rush to exascale computing, Intel is making a small change that could have a big impact on system design with its upcoming Xeon Phi chip.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Hi and welcome to APUG!
I'm a Canon FD guy and I've got an AE-1 that was my dad's and an AE-1 Program that was my uncles (go figure). I've shelved the AE-1 because of a light leak, and the AE-1P has some nice features, most notably LED indicators which are a boon in low light.
I'd say you didn't exactly "clean up", as in the deal of the century, but if you can use it all then you'll have a nice set up. The off brand lenses are more or less worthless, from a resale standpoint. What brand are the 50mm and 135mm??
When you say "Canon 70-210 f/4 that won't stop down", how do you know it won't stop down?? Have you actually mounted it on the camera and tried the stop-down lever, or are you just fiddling with the lens and looking thru it? In the latter case, the aperture won't change. Don't worry. It has to be mounted as it only stops down when the exposure occurs.

Attractive Choice AU 1844-O Liberty Ten Dollar1844-O $10 AU55 NGC. The limited number of Mint State 1844-O Eagles in today's market (there are only five examples graded MS60-62 at NGC and PCGS, 10/02) confirms the importance of this Choice AU survivor. This is a typically well struck coin with a pleasingly original appearance. Rich green-gold color overlays both sides, and there is only minimal evidence of rub over the highpoints. Somewhat scuffy from a short stint in circulation, yet free of individually conspicuous abrasions. The 1844-O (118,700 pieces produced) is the 16th rarest O-mint Eagle (per Winter, 1992), and it compares favorably in availability to the 1842-O and 1843-O at the AU level. Far finer than the typically offered VF or XF example. (NGC ID# 262T, PCGS# 8591)

It was great to be able to get this piece of music again. I was afraid that the arrangement would be different from what I learnt when I was only 16 years old- over 30 years ago. But it was the same and came back to me quickly. I think that it would help if the pedal notaion was included but still it was great and I love that I can just print things off immediately & go try them out.

Vol Au Vent Puff Paste
|Cold butter
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs) (ice cold)
|Ice water
|18 Tablespoon
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|3 Cup (48 tbs)
In a cold mixing bowl cut the 1/2 cup butter and the lard into the sifted flour until it is the size of small marbles or large peas. (We do mean lard, not vegetable shortening. Jesse insists that good old pork lard mixed with butter makes far better puff paste than either pure butter by itself or butter mixed with any other fat.)
Although most cookbooks advise using knives to cut the shortening into the flour, Jesse achieves wonderful results with a light aluminum kitchen spoon, with the edge of which he lightly slices the ice cold lumps into the flour.
Jesse taught me how to do this, working always with an inward and upward "scooping" stroke of the spoon, with a short outward and upward twist of the wrist; the outer edge of the spoon slices into the flour, not only cutting the shortening lumps but also each time lifting a bit of flour and some pastry lumps, thus introducing more and more air into the flour with each cutting stroke.
Jesse particularly cautions against using the spoon with a "mashing" motion that would tend to press or squeeze the grease into the flour rather than flaking it in.
I am sure this is one of his top secrets for fine pastry making, and the method has worked wonders for me in biscuits and rolls as well as puff paste.
To keep the butter and lard hard while working, have the bowl very cold before beginning, and then stand it in a pan of ice water while cutting the grease into the flour.
When the shortening has been thoroughly flaked into the flour until it is in lumps of the large pea size, add 18 tablespoons of ice water, three or four spoonfuls at a time, lightly and quickly mixing it into the flour with the same scooping motion; do not knead or mash with the spoon.
Adding the water in such small quantities keeps it colder while mixing and prevents the shortening from melting; also, you avoid "flooding" your dough.
The dough should be slightly on the damp side when it is lifted from the bowl; if it is too dry it will not roll out thinly without breaking or cracking.
Jesse never touches dough with his hands except when absolutely necessary this also helps keep the shortening cold.
He lifts the dough from the bowl with the spoon, gently drops it on a lightly floured board, and sifts a light coat of flour atop the lump.
Then he rolls the dough out immediately, with no kneading and no waiting, to 1/4 inch thickness.
He then takes the extra 1/4 pound of butter from the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, where he has let it get very cold (not frozen), and chips small lumps from it to scatter all over the rolled dough, using about half the butter.
Then, very lightly, he taps the flour sifter over the dough to leave an ever so thin dusting of flour over the butter dotted surface.
Next he quickly folds the dough in half and rolls this out slightly.
He repeats the butter dotting procedure and again flips the dough in half (thus having four layers of pastry sandwiched together with floured butter lumps between them).
The dough is then divided by cutting off a piece equal to one third of its size, with a sharp knife.
Set this aside in the refriger.

Bobcats enter season with experienced players, rookie coach
The Basehor-Linwood High School volleyball team has most of its players returning this season, but it will be replacing a coach. Former volleyball coach Kevin Suther resigned at the end of last season and stepping in as his replacement will be Suther's assistant, Mardy Robinson.
Robinson, who also coaches girls' basketball, said she was sad to see Suther go, but she is also fired up about the challenge awaiting her.
"I'm definitely excited," Robinson said. "I was really sad to see coach Suther go, we all were, but we have most of our team coming back and we should be pretty good."
This year, BLHS's varsity squad will be led by its five seniors Briana Barron, Jamie Cochran, Kelleigh Garup, Christina McCarty and Laura Steeby. Joining the seniors with returning varsity experience will be juniors Cristin Burnett and Lindsay Cunningham. Robinson said having seven players return in her first year as coach will make the transition a lot easier for her, but that it will also help the team in terms of success.
"The experience factor will come into play especially when we get down in a match," Robinson said. "These seniors we have this year are really good leaders and they know what it takes to win."
Of the players who are returning, McCarty is the one with the most experience. As a freshman, sophomore and junior, McCarty was a starter and standout on varsity, and she said this year's team has a chance to be better than any team she's played on.
"Last year, we were pretty strong and we didn't really lose anybody," McCarty said. "So I think this year we should be even better."
Last year, McCarty made first team all-league and this year she's hoping to do the same. However, she said that winning comes first. Like Robinson, McCarty was also sad to see Suther go, but she said having Robinson take over has been an easy adjustment for the team.
"It's really been no different because she was around most of the time last year," McCarty said. "It's not that she'll be tougher than coach Suther, but I think she'll be more disciplined and I think that will help us."
Robinson agreed with McCarty that the familiarity is there, but she said this early in the season the entire team is still trying to adjust.
"We're still getting used to each other and my style of coaching," Robinson said. "But I think it's going well."
Without saying it outright, Robinson implied that her team is focused. BLHS has lost in the first round of sub-state for three straight years and the team's main goal this season is to stop that streak.
"Our goal is to perform well at sub-state and maybe make the state tournament," Robinson said. "We haven't won, even in the first game at sub-state, for at least three years and I know we'd like to end that this year."
The Bobcats will get their first crack at an opponent and their new season, Tuesday, Aug. 28, when they take on Eudora, Baldwin and Bonner Springs in Eudora.

CPIC guidelines are designed to help clinicians understand HOW available genetic test results should be used to optimize drug therapy, rather than WHETHER tests should be ordered. A key assumption underlying the CPIC guidelines is that clinical high-throughput and pre-emptive (pre-prescription) genotyping will become more widespread, and that clinicians will be faced with having patients' genotypes available even if they have not explicitly ordered a test with a specific drug in mind. CPIC invites feedback on existing and planned gene/drug guidelines.

Yvonne Strahovski Fans, Unite! This Is Your Night!
Originally posted 05/05/2014 06:15PM
Yvonne Strahovski appears in two shows Monday night. Isn't that wonderful? It is if you happen to be a Strahovski enthusiast, as I am.
It may even be more wonderful if you don't know her yet, and take the opportunity to watch FOX's 24: Live Another Day, premiering at 8 p.m. ET/PT, and the second of two back-to-back episodes of FX's Louie, which begins a new season at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
I first became intrigued by this Australian actress during season 7 of Showtime's Dexter, starring Michael C. Hall. She played serial killer Dexter Morgan's soul mate, Hannah McKay. Hannah also had a string of murders to her credit, but she killed with rational premeditation, not for kinky satisfaction.
The Dexter Finale: So, What Happened?
Originally posted 09/23/2013 09:00AM
After eight seasons of blood and fun, Showtime's Dexter ended Sunday night on a note of ponderous sorrow and penitence. You might as soon have expected Hannibal Lecter to open a funeral home for the indigent, or the Talented Mr. Ripley to sculpt balloons into animals for nursing-home patients.
So what happened to Michael C. Hall's Dexter Morgan, the Miami forensic analyst who, in secret, was a serial killer who got off on murdering fellow serial killers?
SPOILER ALERT: Plot details to follow.
