Overscan and HDMI audio questions
I am extremely new to linux but I wanted to build my HTPC using it since it was way more cost efficient then buying Windows 7 for it. I currently have a Geforce GT 430 video card and it is running Ubuntu 10.10. I am using in my HTPC that I have hooked up using HDMI.
I figured out where the slider for changing the overscan was located and have set it to the position that I like so that I can see all of my desktop on my HD TV. What happens now is when the computer gets restarted the overscan is back to its default setting untill I open the Nvidia X Config program and then the costume overscan setting that I set just changes back. I was hoping that their was a way for it to remember my setting without having to start the Nvidia X Config to get my setting back the way I set it.
My second problem is that I do not have audio going out the the Geforce GT 430 using HDMI. I have tried to read and understand the stick on Linux HDMI Audio but am having difficulty with it since my knowledge of Linux is very limited. I have also looked on the internet and found some information about having to black list some files in modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and I tried that with a restart and that did not help either. In the HDMI audio guide it said to try and upgrade my Alsa and I ran the the Ubuntu steps for that since that is the destro I am using but nothing has worked so far.
If you can tell me what information you need to help with my problems I will gladly try to get it for you to try and get these issues resolved. Thanks to anybody that can try to answer these questions.
Re: Overscan and HDMI audio questions
For the overscan compensation option, you can have nvidia-settings load the configuration without opening the GUI by passing it the -l option. E.g., add this to your desktop environment startup scripts:
nvidia-settings -l
Re: Overscan and HDMI audio questions
I looked at the Nvidia HDMI audio guide and I can understand why it is not easy to understand for a newb. Let me try to help you.
As far as I know, all 4XX nvidia cards have 4 HDMI audio devices, and first you will have to find out which is the one ALSA wants to use.
First use this command:
sudo aplay -L
It will list everything linux thinks is an audio device. Notice whether or not your nvidia sound is listed as a 0,3 or 1,3 (just an example, the numbering changes depending on whether you have an other sound device or not.Card # on the left is the first number in the 1,3. Device # is the second number.) This info will be important in the next step.
Secondly try the speaker-test (make sure the volume is up on the tv and nothing is muted. Get the alsa gnome mixer in synaptic and browse over to your nvidia audio levels and make sure none are muted. Make sure all IEC958 boxes are checked.)
Now to use the numbers you found in the first step using this command:
speaker-test -c 2 -r 48000 -D hw:1,3
Try replacing the 3 with either 7,8 or 9. If the 1 does not match what you saw with aplay -l command, replace it with the number listed. One of these should get audio out to your tv.
Final step:
Add this line to your default.pa file in /etc/pulse/:
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:1,7
This is from my setup, 1,7 worked for my speaker test so replace the numbers with the numbers your speaker test worked with.
The only way to edit this file is to run gedit as root. To do this type:
sudo gedit
(You need to use sudo and type in your password whenever you alter files that are not in your home directory.)
Now you should have working HDMI audio, no more work should be necessary.
Happy trails and if you need more help post again.
Re: Overscan and HDMI audio questions
Aaron thank you for the command that worked exactly how I wanted it to once it was added to my startup items. It now automatically fixes my overscan.
Cheechr I was able to follow your instructions and found out mine is running at hw:1,9. I added the load-module line like yours but changed it to be 1,9 and rebooted but I still do not have audio. I can run the speaker-test command again pointing at 1,9 and get sound from my speakers but cannot get it to just come their from a restart.
Thank you both for your help. It is nice to get some strait easy answers when I have no idea what I am doing on Ubuntu :)
Re: Overscan and HDMI audio questions
Make sure that line is at the bottom of default.pa, not the top.
Re: Overscan and HDMI audio questions
It is at the very bottom of that file. I saw some section headers in that file. Does it need to be under a certain one or is just at the very bottom good enough? Another question I have is when I go in to my sound properties I have to Nvidia audio output options. I have tried selecting each one to see if sound will work but it doesn't for either. The two options I have in output are HDA Nvidia and under that it is just stereo and the second is HDA Nvidia Digital Audio stereo. Under hardware I have two options as well but only one of them is Nvidia, the other is the built in sound card on my motherboard. I have had sure to select the Nvidia card under the hardware tab as well.
Re: Overscan and HDMI audio questions
The only place for that line should be at the bottom of that file. In the sound preferences, you want to select the nvidia device that will say exactly this:
GF100 High Definition Audio Controller
You'll notice if you remove that line from default.pa, you will lose the output I just mentioned. It will not be selected at boot time in the audio preferences, but should still work at boot time even though it is not selected in the preferences. DO NOT select the Nvidia outputs that end with (HDMI). Those outputs will not work unless ALSA wants to use the first device on your video card to output to your TV (highly unlikely, I have only ever used 1,3 once and now 1,7). Hope you get this working man. Also with ubuntu never manually install the driver, get the x-swat PPA instead which always has pre-packaged Nvidia drivers which are much easier to install and upgrade. If you need help with this let me know.
This line in default.pa should work if your speaker test works with that device. If you cannot get this line to work, there is another, more complicated way. I could not help with that method as the one I told you has worked for me and a few others I have helped. Good Luck.
Re: Overscan and HDMI audio questions
Ok audio is now working. I think it was working before using the info you gave me. I was using the speaker test in the sound preferences to check to see if it was working and i would never hear anything when I used the left or right test buttons. I started to play a movie and sound came out :)
Now do you know how to get it to output 5.1 surround sound? Right now all I am getting is stereo output. It maybe the way I installed the drivers directly from nvidia. If that is the case I will remove them and install a different set I just need to know how to remove the ones I have downloaded from nvidia's site.
Thank you so much for the help I really appreciate it.
Re: Overscan and HDMI audio questions
The uninstall method is get into your console with X and Gnome killed and type
./Nvidia-Linux-x86-Somenumbers.run -uninstall
If you want 5.1 audio I cannot help, I just use my TV speakers. I believe that requires a patch as the current Linux kernel has a regression, breaking multi-channel audio. Maybe take a look at the ol' Nvidia HDMI audio guide or get some more help.
Just make sure if you do get it working, take the time on the forums to help others get it to work as well. Happy trails!
Re: Overscan and HDMI audio questions
I will check out the guide and try to read it carefully to hopefully fully understand what it is saying. Do I need to always keep the driver pack that I downloaded from Nvidia if I want to uninstall my drivers? What happens if I don't keep it and a new driver comes out am I allowed to use that one to uninstall the old drivers?
You had said in an earlier post about using Ubuntu packages for my Nvidia drivers. Do I get those though the package installer just like I get other software, and if so do I need to add a repository to be able to find those drivers?
Re: Overscan and HDMI audio questions
I am pretty sure you can use a newer driver package to uninstall an older driver, just try to use similar driver versions to ensure complete removal of the currently installed driver.
Example: Do not use 260.19.44 to uninstall 270.xx drivers, they are likely different enough to cause potential issues when uninstalling.
Yes the PPA is added to your repositories in synaptic and you use synaptic to install files from that PPA. The upgrade manager will automatically recognize when there are updates and ask you if you want to install the updated driver.

Biosense Webster CARTO 3 EP Navigation System Allows CT Fusion Imaging
Biosense Webster's CARTO 3 System is an advanced 3D imaging technology for use by electrophysiologists in treating cardiac arrhythmias. It offers three unique features: advanced catheter location (ACL) technology, fast anatomical mapping (FAM), and a streamlined workflow feature set referred to as Connection of Choice.
ACL is a hybrid technology that allows for accurate catheter tip and curve visualization without spatial distortion. This helps the electrophysiologist to orient catheters with precision for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The system can visualize up to five catheters simultaneously with clear distinction of all electrodes.
FAM is a leading-edge technology that quickly and accurately creates high-resolution, CT-like maps as quickly as an EP can move his or her catheter throughout the cardiac chamber. FAM technology also permits detailed visual enhancement of a specific area of interest within the heart.
Connection of Choice is enabled by the new CARTO System hardware configuration featuring a central connection point for all catheters and equipment while preserving the signal quality of intracardiac electrograms. Catheter connections have been redesigned for plug-and-play functionality and automatic catheter recognition. All of these enhancements have been developed to streamline and simplify workflow in the EP lab.

What a difference a year makes.
On Stage 6 of the 2010 Tour de France, Rui Costa and Carlos Barredo got into an argument. Costa punched Barredo in the head, Barredo attacked Costa with his front wheel, and the disgraceful slip-slidey road-shoe slap-fight that ensued was immortalized in the annals of YouTube as the goofiest spectacle this side of Failblog.
This year, however, Costa finished Saturday's Stage 8 far more elegantly, when as the last remaining member of the breakaway he held off a chasing Alexandre Vinokourov and a charging Philippe Gilbert to win the day.
As for the breakaway, of which Costa was an alumnus, its chief animator was Tejay Van Garderen of HTC, and while he didn't win the stage he did end up getting the speckled climbers' jersey. Tejay is one of those riders they're always touting as the Next Big Thing in American Cycling, so naturally he got plenty of post-stage attention.
My advice to this promising rider is, next time someone comes at you with a TV camera and a microphone, RUN! Run for your life! The last thing you want to be is interviewed as the Next Big Thing in American Cycling. It's the smooch of death. One day you're a Lycra-clad star on the rise, and the next thing you know you wake up 10 years later and you're Tom Danielson. Either that or you're crying on 60 Minutes.
But it was Sunday's Stage 9 that would turn out to be the real spectacle. Stuffed with climbs, it was clear that the stage would be a nasty one, and the profile was packed with more 2s and 3s than an amateur road race—though it was crashier than a Cat. 5 race. Yes, the route map didn't begin to tell the entire story, and I can only attribute the calamitous nature of the stage to wrinkles in the space-time continuum caused by the impending CadelPocalypse (or, if you prefer, CadelMageddon).
First, Alberto Contador fell victim to his 417th crash this Tour when he was suddenly ejected from the peloton like a touchy-feely customer at a strip club. At first it seemed inexplicable, but then it turned out he had hooked bars with Vladimir Karpets—who, as it happens, has the same haircut as a strip-club bouncer. Both riders dismissed the incident as an accident, though it wouldn't surprise me if Contador had been attempting to slip a dollar bill into Andy Schleck's bib shorts at the time.
Then was the devastating crash that put an end to the Tour for riders such as Dave Zabriskie and Alexandre Vinokourov, both of whom will be sorely missed: Zabriskie as Garmin's primary motor, and Vinokourov as an explosive rider with a fearless style. In fact, there are those who say Vino has no eyebrows because he rides so fast that hair cannot grow there. In this sense, his barren forehead is like the top of Mont Ventoux.
Vino's crash was especially poignant as this was to be his last Tour de France, and the race has lost an exciting (and controversial) rider.
But of course the big news was The Sideswipe Seen Around the World, when some idiot media-car driver ignored race radio orders, tried to overtake the breakaway, and knocked down Juan Antonio Flecha—who in turn sent Johnny Hoogerland flying into a barbed-wire fence.
Barbed wire.

I heart CLE
I'm going to law school in Cleveland and working as an associate in the legal department of a construction company. I grew up in Cleveland and love everything about it (Best location in the nation!) Seriously, it has so much to offer. I'm an Auntie of 6 and family is everything to me. I'm laid back, and also a really open person - I hate when people play games. I'd much rather people just be up front with me. I have a "work hard/play hard" mentality - I work hard now because I know it will pay off later. I don't know what kind of law I want to do when I'm done with law school but I'm not afraid of exploring different areas to find out what my passion is. I'm addicted to coffee. I like reddit. I try to take good pictures (nikon D3000). I want to travel more...there are so many places I dream of going to. I like going for walks and adventures. I pretend to be a wine connoisseur but maybe someday I'll be a sommelier. I take the time to cook because i love it. I speak French, but I'm trying to learn Korean. I like games of all kinds, like Scattegories, Catchphrase, Settlers of Catan, card games, board games, anything! Netflix was a win, I like watching TV shows and documentaries. I really really like the Walking Dead. I'm also the youngest person to know every line in Golden Girls. I like to sing and dance. I think I do very good accents. I'm looking for someone to share the best parts of life with. I'm not going into this with any expectations - I just want to have fun and meet great new people. I like kind, mature and especially funny guys. I want someone I can talk to about anything. I'm addicted to those butterflies :)

My dog Sammy (short for Sampson) is a long-haired Pom-Chi (Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix). He's 7 years old and I adopted him from the Cleveland APL last fall. It's the best thing I've ever done, and he's my bestest little bud.
Favorite places to get a drink - Ohio City, East 4th, Tremont, Coventry West Side Market Downtown and the Casino
Korean food. Sushi. Coffee. Walking Dead. Sherlock. Downton Abbey. West Wing. Revenge. Golden Girls. Books. Magazines of all kinds. Games. Netflix.
Going out with friends for dinner and drinks. Bonfires with my family in the backyard. Seeing the latest movies (and I always go for the 3D effects). Travelling. Cooking. Spoiling my nieces and nephews.
The only things I can read during the semester are legal casebooks! :( I use Goodreads to plan what I want to read next

1963 Reliant Sabre is star of Dorset auction
Posted: April 28, 2014|
With a truly fascinating history, the 1963 Reliant Sabre 6 GT will be one of the stars of Dorset Vintage and Classic Auctions' summer sale on Thursday 19th June, to be held at Athelhampton House, near Dorchester, Dorset, DT2 7LG.
The ex-Works rally car participated in a number of famous rallies in the early 60s, such as the Alpine Rally of 1963 when it won its class, and was in the hands of some famous drivers, including Raymond Baxter at the 1963 Spa-Sofia-Leige, and Bobby Parkes at the '64 Welsh Rally, where the Reliant finished second in class.
During the 1990s, the Sabre 6 GT was the subject of a photographic rebuild, but will require finishing work now to enable it to return to competition. The exciting rally car will be offered with an extensive history, including rare items of associated memorabilia, and has an estimate of £23,000 - £26,000.
Two other interesting restoration projects will complement the Reliant at DVCA's June auction: a 1951 Riley RMB 2.5 Litre Sports and a 1922 Lagonda Two Seat Drophead Coupe with Dickey, with guide prices of £15,000 – £17,000 and £8000 – £10,000 respectively. Both motor cars were rescued from long term storage in an Isle of Wight barn and each are a worthwhile challenge; the Riley has an attractive sports roadster body and the Lagonda is thought to be one of just three remaining survivors of its type and is complete with all its original features.
Further entries for the auction sale are still being accepted; for further information, please visit www.dvca.co.uk or telephone Brian Chant on 01963 363353.

Reock and Roll to Bring CLASSIC ALBUM ENCORE to MCCC's Kelsey Theatre, 7/12-13
Mercer County Community College's Kelsey Theatre welcomes back Reock & Roll Revue for two performances of "Classic Album Encore," a concert featuring highlights from four years of shows by this classic rock group. The band will rock the Kelsey house for two shows only: Saturday, July 12 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, July 13 at 2 p.m. Kelsey Theatre is located on the college's West Windsor campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road.
Led by Tom Reock, Reock & Roll Revue has been lighting up the Kelsey stage since 2011 when the group performed The Who's Quadrophenia. Since then, the band has presented five additional concerts, including The Beatles White Album, Crosby Stills, Nash and Young's Déjà vu, The Band, The Allman Brothers' Eat a Peach and Eric Clapton's Journeyman.
The musical numbers will be accompanied by video and narrative that tie the bands together from the political and cultural perspectives of the 1960s and early 1970s.
Tickets are $25 for all. (Advance ticket purchase is strongly recommended as these concerts sell out quickly.) Tickets are available online at www.kelseytheatre.net or by calling the Kelsey Theatre Box Office at 609-570-3333. Kelsey Theatre is wheelchair accessible, with free parking available next to the theater.

Math is beautiful.
Tumult is art that evolves and comes to life at your finger tips. It's an instrument to play music for eyes. Discover chords, put on a show, explore and experiment with different types and sequences of touches to internalize how it works. With a little practice, you'll have a surprising amount of control over the chaotic light as it dances.
Configurable Options:
-Neon Color Cycle
-Line Trails / Dot Mode
Play any song in the background via the device's iPod functionality - just start the song before opening Tumult. Or, experiment with it in silence, orchestrating the visuals based on your internal rhythm.
Try one finger tapping, quick drags, rolling the finger tip slightly horizontally or vertically, holding or moving multiple fingers at once, alternating tap locations... Its sensitivity is the source of its power and flexibility.
This same download supports iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
The original version of Tumult came about in May 2008 as part of my 219 daily experimental gameplay projects, as seen at InteractionArtist.com.

Talking Tag Set
Gifted by Talking Tag
Reviewed by Simone Collins
The winner of the Innovation Showcase at the Craft and Hobby Tradeshow Summer 2011 was the Talking Tag. This cutting edge product will give crafters the ability to attach audio to their latest projects and creations. Instead of sending just a handmade card, why not attach a voice greeting? Now the kids can sing, "Happy Birthday" to grandma instead of just signing their name.
These special little tags feature a coded image that will store your audio file. In order to use the Talking Tag, you will need to download the software either on your smartphone. This program is free to download and available for iPhones, Androids, and Blackberry phones. Then you will open the application on your smart phone and record your message. This process is very straightforward and easy to follow. Then affix your Talking Tag to your project and anyone can use the application on their own phone to access the audio file.
There are two types of tags available from TalkingTags, single user and multi-user. Single user tags would be useful for creating keychains so people can record where they parked their cars and then re-record the next time they use it. These types of tags have limited uses but I am sure the multi-user tags will be popular with a variety of projects like creating a memory box and including your babies first words. This brand new product is the perfect harmony of technology and craft.

delish, quick and easy. was a hit with the crowd :)
Fun little recipe. I made this more into a main dish by adding beans and some chopped Boca burgers. Husband was a bit unsure about this but I probably should've served with sour cream (which I forgot about) and salsa. It is rather filling and I think would also be a good base for a taco salad. Thanks for the recipe!

Comment: Re:Subsidize the supply side (Score 2) 940 940
The more means of abstraction to the service required, the more you're handing things to the middlemen. We don't want to cut checks to let everyone buy without price controls, otherwise the market will respond as if everyone's richer and just price accordingly. If you do price controls, that's extra regulation and besides the point.
What ought to be happening is a new homestead act; there are far more foreclosed buildings held by crooked banks than homeless people. Seems to me they should be dissolved, and the homes doled out - people who don't have to scramble for survival will be able to do far more productive things with their time.
Landlord profits are a lousy thing to optimise for. They're not in it to have the most energy efficient, well-made, forward-thinking homes. They're not in it to sell just enough. They're going for maximum profit. Doesn't our civilization have better things to do than let people who own far more than they personally need control things?

Evaluative Conditioning 2.0: Referential versus Intrinsic Learning of Affective Value
Evaluative conditioning is an important determinant of consumers' likes and dislikes. Three experiments show that it can result from two types of learning. First, stimulus-stimulus (S – S) or referential learning allows a conditioned stimulus (e.g., a brand) to acquire valence by triggering (unconscious) recollections of the unconditioned stimulus (e.g., a pleasant image). Second, stimulus-response (S – R) or intrinsic learning allows a conditioned stimulus to bind directly with the affective response that was previously generated by the unconditioned stimulus. We show when each type of learning occurs and demonstrate the consequences for the robustness of conditioned brand attitudes.

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by bernaperk wasn't was what I expected. I thought that the liner would be a rectangle so it would fit the bottom of the litter box but it wasn't. It was the same old flat ones that you can buy anywhere. The quality is good though. I don't know why manufacturers don't make litter box liners that are flat on the bottom. September 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Flower Heavier than many liners. Liners are heavier than many other liners. Can be shaped to litter pan by tucking in the corners. Good value. April 30, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by luv4animals Sturdy Liners Liners are quite strong. Very few holes from cat claws. The only issue I have is that the liner is too large for the Petmate Booda round litter pan. I have to tape it down so it will fit better. October 29, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by sliberty Cat rebelled This was the first time I tried liners. My cat is 1.5 years old. She wasn't happy, and didn't use her box for 2 days. As soon as we removed the liner, things were back to normal. Might be because the liner had two large triangles of plastic material that kept the litter from going all the way into the corners. Or it might have been that she just didn't like the feel and sound of the plastic. Who knows, but I won't be using them again. October 23, 2013

The low point during the Dallas Mavericks 2012-13 season probably came in January when the club fell 10 games under .500. Dallas rang in the new year by losing four of its first five games in January. But during that month, an awakening occurred following a loss, according to Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle. And the new outlook was sparked by his eight-year-old daughter Abby. While Carlisle didn't give the specific defeat, he did say that it was "a very, very difficult loss at home." The Mavs lost three times at American Airlines Center in January: 99-96 to the New Orleans Hornets in overtime, 117-114 to the Oklahoma City Thunder in overtime and 113-107 to the San Antonio Spurs. My best guess, it was after losing on January 5 to the lowly Hornets, who finished the season 27-55. "It really upset me," Carlisle said on Thursday. "I went home that night, and my daughter knew this was really upsetting to me. Theres a room downstairs where I keep all my suits. It's one of the guest bedro...

Minnesota nice meets Washington ________?
My account is currently inactive. Want to show a Seattle-newbie around town? Are you looking for someone who actually thinks Seattle's weather is awesome? Look no further. Here are a few facts about me; - I moved to Seattle after living in Minneapolis for 10 years. - I have given myself the goal to run a marathon a year. I have done Twin Cities, Chicago, San Fransisco and most likely Seattle this year. - I am a comedy nerd and have a sarcastic and dry sense of humor. I listen to a lot of podcasts and love stand up. - I am a movie buff with a weakness for horror flicks. - I can play up to 5 instruments of varying levels of ability. I've played piano for more than 20 years. - I am a homebrewer and beer snob, but I'll settle for a PBR tall boy. - Family is very important to me, and one of the reasons I moved to Seattle is to be closer to my new niece. - I believe in continuous improvement, and am always trying to better myself. Being stagnant is not for me. I'm looking to meet some new people, and am giving this a shot. What's the worst that could happen?

I am a movie buff and have a eclectic taste in music. A few favorites are RATATAT, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Starfucker, Ween, Thelonius Monk, and too many others to name.
I like to go to concerts, stand up, running, biking, snowboarding, or staying in and watching a good move or TV show.
I love to read non-fiction but also am up for a good novel. Just read Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks, a really interesting book on music and the mind.

What's so good?
By Philip Friedman | Mar 12, 2013 | Total plays: 9,887
Starting off simply as some friends playing acoustic tunes and later building into a full band, Virginia Leaves draws inspiration from the No Depression scene that helped make guys like Jay Fararr and Jeff Tweedy household names. Cranking out old time country-influenced tracks, with distorted electric guitars meant to be played loud in half empty bars in middle America, Virginia Leaves just released their album, Portrait, via Whiskey Horse Records.
The second track on the album is a rocker called "No Where's Worse." Starting off with a driving drum beat, an old guitar amp armed with overdrive, and smoke and whiskey-tinged vocals, it sets the stage for Virginia Leaves' take on what a rock album should sound like. Filled with some self-deprecating lyrics like, "I feel like I am nothing, but no where's worse," and some fiddle, the track reminds me of some of the country greats of old, like George Jones.
Virginia Leaves know exactly what their sound is, and they aren't afraid to be who they are as they look to carry on the alt-country torch to future generations -- they're keeping alive the independent spirit of bands like Uncle Tupelo who came before them. Long live Americana, no matter what country it comes from.
Sounds like: Wilco, Fruit Bats, M. Ward, Deer Tick

Fine B-1 1804 Quarter1804 25C Fine 12 PCGS. CAC. B-1, R.3. The die scratch between stars 8 and 9 is diagnostic for Browning-1. The rarity of the 1804 is similar to the 1796, but the 1804 is much more affordable in circulated grades, since it is not a single-year design type. Collectors can thank the comparatively high mintages from 1805 to 1807 for the relatively affordable price of the 1804. This example has cream-gray high points, while the borders are dark ebony-blue. Although circulated, the present piece has clear eye detail, and the shield lines display nearly complete separation. Marks are inconsequential for the grade, aside from a brief scratch between star 7 and the L in LIBERTY. Struck from clashed dies.

A number of new CPU companies with aggressive many-core architectures have made headlines in the last 12 months — but they aren't the solution to the underlying problem. There's no simple way to improve CPU performance long-term — and plenty of problems to overcome.
iPad 3 will not have a Retina display October 31, 2011 at 8:36 am
Rumor has it that Apple will launch the iPad 3 sometime in Q1 of next year. Contrary to the hints that Cupertino's newest tablet device will have a Retina class display, don't be fooled. Screen manufacturers are simply not ready to create 10-inch tablet screens with that kind of resolution.

Perkins+Will's new Atlanta office presented the opportunity to transform an existing building in the heart of Midtown by both reusing the building's worthy assets and correcting its signature faults. Recently certified LEED Platinum, with the highest score ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere, the success of the project suggests that reuse and renovation is central to the concept of sustainability. While earning accolades for excellence in building design, one of the project's most profound features is its renewed connection to the street. Like the building, the site design represents the humanistic values and sustainable aspirations of the firm through open, welcoming spaces and material and detail choices.

Qld may hold Royal Commission into payroll bungle
blog It's been one of the biggest IT-related disasters in Australia's history, it's going to take $1.2 billion to fix, and it's even the subject of complex legal discussions between prime contractor IBM and the Queensland Government. Welcome to the world of Queensland Health's colossal payroll systems overhaul bungle. Today's news is that the state's LNP Premier Campbell Newman has canvassed setting up a commission of inquiry (also known as a royal commission) to get to the heart of the matter. ABC Radio's PM program quotes Newsman (we recommend you click here for the full interview):
"There's no secret of that. It's been canvassed in the Parliament but I'm not in a position to say today. But I believe that Queenslanders deserve to hear what's gone on. This is a $1.2-billion debacle, arguably the largest single public sector project funding you know debacle of all time in this nation and I don't think it's appropriate that it just be sort of written off or we say, oh well, too bad, so sad and move on. I don't think that's going to happen."
In my opinion, there is no real need for a royal commission into this issue. We've already had half a dozen audit reports and third-party consultant investigations (separately, by PWC, Ernst and Young and KPMG) into what went wrong and what needs to be done to fix the situation. I could understand Queensland's LNP administration's desire to hold a further investigation into the disaster if Queensland Labor was a serious political force — what better instrument to keep on beating the former Government around the head with than the Queensland Health payroll systems disaster?
However, with Queensland Labor reduced to a shell and the LNP facing a generation in government … I think the state's population would rather that Newman and Co just got on quietly with the job of fixing things. You know … the reason the LNP was elected in the first place?

Renee – is there real, serious evidence that Queensland Government – both the elected members and the appointed managers – has learned about governance of IT? Is there evidence that these lessons have been learned by the wider community – both those who use IT (the people who run the various private and public sector enterprises) and those who supply IT (from the solo in-house IT manager to the major multinational IT corporation), across all sectors of the economy?
I say "bring it on" – a royal commission is a brilliant opportunity to learn and lock in lessons that, for some reason that this commentator cannot fathom, seem to be trenchantly resisted by all parties in the marketplace.
Despite all of the reports to date, there still doesn't seem to be a clear recognition that the heart of the QH payroll debacle was an absolute and total failure of governance, which all parties should have been able to see, understand, and rectify. It's not as if there isn't adequate guidance – assess the project (based on published information) against ISO 38500 and its predecessor AS 8015, and it becomes abundently clear that every principle for good governance was violated, from the outset.
"Despite all of the reports to date, there still doesn't seem to be a clear recognition that the heart of the QH payroll debacle"
As a public interest measure maybe but most managers involved already know where this went wrong. The point that Renai makes is there is probably no appetite for a spend on such a commission in the electorate. The LNP was put in to clean up the mess that was QLD government, its processes, and its finances. That included this payroll system. Throwing much needed money at an inquiry is counter productive.
If anything, I'm still surprised Springborg (the Health Minister) has only so far speculated on throwing the whole thing in the bin. Me thinks there is probably a lot more activity on a cost-benefit right now than is publicly known. He'd be amiss if he wasn't doing it and so far he has been right on step with where you'd expect any competent minister to be heading. So in that respect I guess he is doing better than his predecessors.
.. and there is news going around that there will be an Inquiry. I'm not sure what this will do for us other than tell us it was a complete stuffup.
Oops – apologies for the spelling error Renei!
You forget something really basic Mark, even though what you have said is ok. That Political Parties will always utilize anything they can, by any means, to drive a knife in deeper to those they despise. And LNP has over a decade of grudges to work through yet. They love blood on the floor. I just wish they'd go extinct! We'd be better off with out them or their opposite. Couldn't be a more worse stuff up than we have now.
Oh sorry, they have only just started. It will get worse.
They'll be lucky to get a second term the way they asre currently going…we have long memories for this stuff.
Though apparently some don't…when CanDo said Joh was his idol it was immediately obvious to me what his government would be like…I can't believe others didn't pick it up.
Well Can Do Campbell is really a "Can't". Say that word 3 times rapidly and you'll get my drift.
That's Renai… :o)
OK – getting a new keyboards with built-in spell checker!
So they going to waste more money with a royal investigation which will prove nothing.
Shit broke! Learn from the mistake
Adam, how do we learn from the mistake unless we actually uncover what the mistake was?
A commission might be expensive, but another similar experience will be far more expensive.
Once is an accident – twice is a coincidence – three times is a habit – and this habit needs to be broken, completely.

2010 Lexus GS Hybrid Performance
This performance review was created when the car was new. Some links may no longer point to an active page.
Seeing the hybrid badge on the trunk of the 2010 GS 450h, buyers might expect to find a de-powered sedan that emphasizes fuel economy over raw performance. Surprisingly, the GS Hybrid is a sharp performer. It combines the low-end torque of an electric motor with the higher-revving power of a V6 to match the output of the V8s many rivals build – but easily beats them all in fuel economy. Reviewers say its handling isn't up to the high standards of German sedans like the BMW 5-Series or Audi A6 – but only driving enthusiasts are likely to complain about the performance of this hybrid.
- "The only midsize luxury sport sedan with a hybrid powertrain, the 2009 Lexus GS 450h delivers the performance of a V8-powered sport sedan while sipping fuel like a midsize V6 family cruiser." -- Edmunds
- "The GS 450h provides dazzling performance and top-notch luxury all in an eco-friendly hybrid wrapper." -- CNET
- The GS 450h is "antithetical to the whole purpose of a hybrid car. It's a beautiful car with plenty of speed, but the trade-off is that all that power hurts its fuel economy." -- BusinessWeek
Acceleration and Power
Most hybrid cars compromise power in favor of fuel economy. Not this one. The 2010 GS 450h boasts a total of 340 horsepower – more than base editions of the BMW 5-Series or Audi A6. It gets that power from a 3.5-liter V6 engine mated with an electric motor, sending power to the rear wheels through a Continuously Variable Transmission.
Electric motors provide virtually all of their torque instantly, instead of building power in an arc like gasoline engines. Combining both, the GS Hybrid offers very smooth power delivery. Reviewers say acceleration is impressive, even when compared to the V8s offered by some rivals. The GS, however, gets an EPA rating of 22/25 mpg – something no other large luxury car can match.
- "The gas/electric powertrain lacks the immediate kick of a V8, but 450h does surge ahead with dispatch. A test example did 0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds. Overall, the hybrid system calls little attention to itself." -- Consumer Guide
- "Fast, quiet and smooth." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune
- "Designed to maximize performance rather than fuel economy." Fuel efficiency is "marginally better than that of many other performance sedans, but not by such a huge margin that it will be winning any prizes soon from Greenpeace." -- BusinessWeek
- "Rather than a jolt-ridden sequence of upshifts, the car accelerates with preternatural calm - a bit like a train." -- CNET
Handling and Braking
The Lexus GS and GS Hybrid have different steering systems. The electronically-assisted steering of the hybrid edition has a lighter feel than the hydraulically-assisted steering of the standard car. Whether or not it works for you is largely a matter of taste. Some reviewers like the light effort, while others say it is too light and removed from the road. Most like the balance of the suspension, but virtually all reviewers say that the GS 450h lacks the handling poise of European rivals like the BMW 5-Series.
Regenerative brakes help to recharge the car's batteries, but reviewers say the brakes found on the GS Hybrid feel more conventional than most regenerative braking systems.
- "Steering is quick enough on all GS models, but it can feel a bit over assisted on the hybrid." -- Consumer Guide
- "Apart from its hybrid-specific instrumentation, wheels and badging, the 2009 Lexus GS 450h looks and feels much like its GS 350 and GS 460 stablemates. This means a nice handling and ride balance....brake modulation could be smoother." -- Edmunds
- "The total absence of feel in the electric power steering reminded one tester of an early-'80s Lincoln Town Car. In active driving, the continuously variable transmission never stopped hunting, and in league with the waxing and waning of the power system, it created a sonorous racket described by another chronicler as 'somewhere between a gas turbine and a vacuum cleaner.'" -- Car and Driver
- "Handling is not up to German standards." -- BusinessWeek
- Brake pedal feel is "a little sensitive because of the regenerative brake system." -- MSN

great value starter glove
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
this is NOT your burly, back country, slay anything glove. but for someone getting into snow sports looking for an all purpose glove with good looks, this is it. it's waterproof unless the weather is real foul, it's got decent dexterity, and the removeable liners allow you to adjust the insulation through a range of temperatures. the durability is appropriate for the price point; the rubbertec will wear at points after you've taken enough spills.
if you're hard on your gloves and serious about playing, you need to upgrade to some goatskin leather, brand name waterproof/breathable membrane big boy gloves. but if you are looking for one glove to get you through a winter of snowball fights, driveway shoveling, and a few days in bounds, you can't beat this value.

That's the message that President Obama sent earlier this month when he signed the Girls Count Act into law. Congress had previously approved the act by unanimous vote. There are 220 million children around the world who are uncounted. They were not registered at birth, and they don't have birth certificates. A Boy Won't Let A Lion Get His Goat By Marc Silver • Jun 27, 2015 A boy, a goat and a lion. Those are the stars of an award-winning photo called Friendship. Guess Which Country Has The Biggest Increase In Soda Drinking By Marc Silver • Jun 19, 2015 Soda is at the crossroads. The U.S. is still a world leader in taking the pause that refreshes (and causes weight gain). But soda drinking is flat or declining in the West. The reasons are many: Health consciousness. Bottled water. Energy drinks. So the Big Soda companies are spending money to develop new markets in low- and middle-income countries. In some of these places, people are earning a bit more than a few years before, so they have more money for soda. What We Can Learn From A Herd Of Hungry Goats By Marc Silver • Jun 18, 2015 Now that's a gaggle of goats! There are about 700 of them in the video.

It's Time To Pay Attention To 'Below-The-Belt' Cancers By Marc Silver • Jun 17, 2015 When an email arrived the other day promoting an "Interfaith Service Focused on Below the Belt Cancers," I was intrigued.

To kickoff this continuing campaign, there will be two days of events in New York City dedicated to making people more aware of the cancers that strike more than 1 million women a year and figuring out the best strategies for diagnosis and treatment. Sexual Violence Against Children Is A Global Problem But Few Get Help By Marc Silver • Jun 4, 2015 A new survey from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that sexual violence against children is a global problem. Seven countries were surveyed from 2007 to 2013. The first was Swaziland, which wanted to assess and address the problem. The rate of sexual violence against girls was 36.7 percent. Additional countries asked to be surveyed as well. Young people from the age of 13 to 24 were interviewed, with a range of 1,000 to 2,000 for each gender.

Ageism Or Realism? By Marc Silver • Jun 3, 2015 In September, the U.N. will vote to adopt 17 Sustainable Development Goals (aka SDGs). They cover issues like poverty, health and climate change. The idea is to encourage the 192 U.N. member states to establish policies that will make the world a better place over the next 15 years. At least one SDG is turning out to be a bit controversial. This particular goal calls for a reduction in "premature mortality" from non-communicable diseases like cancer, stroke and dementia by half in people younger than 50 and by a third among people from 50 to 69. It's A 'Year Of Fear' For Kids, U.N. Says. Can We Make Things Better? By Marc Silver & Linda Poon • May 30, 2015 It's a "year of fear" for children. That's how Gordon Brown put it in a speech this month. He's the former British Prime Minister who is now the U.N. special envoy for global education. And he's worried about kids. "This is not the year of the child but the year of fear," he said, "with 2015 already the worst year since 1945 for children being displaced, the worst year for children becoming refugees, the worst year for children seeing their schools attacked."

The McKenzie Method assesses back pain and offers specific exercises for particular issues.
McKenzie exercises are back exercises that are designed to ease the pain of lower back pain, leg pain or sciatica. McKenzie therapy standardizes the assessment that helps professionals decide what kind of back exercises are most suitable for a particular situation. They classify spinal concerns so that they can be treated in the most appropriate manner.
The McKenzie Method requires patients to go through a set of activities that will gauge their pain response. This helps determine which movements cause pain. Part of the assessment includes a physical exam that helps to gauge the patient's degree of impairment. The physical exam will also help identify red flags that could impair exercise programs for treatment.
There are three classifications that are assigned after the physical assessment has been completed:
Dysfunction: Shortened tissues due to scarring causing pain.
Postural: Incorrect posture and stress of soft tissues result in pain.
Derangement: When there are fluid imbalances in the discs, the changing position of the vertebrae causes the pain.
One of the most common of the McKenzie exercises is the back extension. This is a simple exercise and if done properly can strengthen your lower back muscles. It is also effective for stretching them out. This back exercise allows the discs of the spine to shift away from nerve roots. You should feel not pain at all with this exercise.
Lie on your stomach with your hands flat on the floor on either side of your shoulders. Keep your pelvis flat to the floor and push up with your hand. Push up until you have reached a comfortable stretch and hold it for 8-10 seconds at a time. Do 8-12 repetitions.
There are other McKenzie exercises that can be done but it is best to consult a professional to get a proper assessment. Back exercises can be very effective in eliminating back pain but only if they are implemented into your daily life. If you do back exercises and then continue to bend and move wrong, the pain will continue.
