Sept. 4 at West Virginia 34 … Marshall 13 CFN Analysis: The real story might have been the weather and the rain and lightning delay, and while the offense didn't quite roll as expected with just 291 total yards, everything worked out fine. Geno Smith was as strong as expected throwing for 249 yards with two scores, but too many drives ended with field goals instead of touchdowns early on. The Mountaineers should've put the game well out of reach early on, but they were always in control. With Norfolk State up next, the O gets another game to tune up before going to Maryland and getting to deal with LSU. The running game didn't work against Marshall, and it's not going to work against LSU; this season is all about Smith.
The pass rush was able to get into the West Virginia backfield just enough to make Geno Smith feel a few shots, but the D didn't break early on holding on for field goals and only giving up one touchdown. Rakeem Cato was just fine in his debut, and while the freshman quarterback didn't push the ball down the field, and only threw for 115 yards, he didn't make any big mistakes and he kept his poise. The defense was strong against the run, holding the Mountaineers to just 1.6 yards per carry, and it should be able to carry the team for a while until the offense comes around. To beat Southern Miss, though, the offense has to figure out how to get into the end zone.
(AP) MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Geno Smith threw two first-half touchdown passes, Tavon Austin returned a kickoff for a score and No. 24 West Virginia beat Marshall 34-13 on Sunday night in a game that was stopped early in the fourth quarter because of lightning.
Smith completed 26 of 35 passes for 249 yards. Despite difficulty running the ball, West Virginia improved to 11-0 against its cross-state foe, including six wins since the series resumed in 2006.
Marshall was limited to 13 first downs, 187 total yards and no offensive touchdowns.
The game was first halted with 5 minutes left in the third quarter due to severe storms and play didn't resume for three hours.
Play was stopped again with 14:36 left. But another hour went by before the game was called off, giving new West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen a soggy, successful debut.
The game was delayed a total of 4 hours, 22 minutes and was the latest plagued by lightning and severe storms on the first weekend of the season.
Michigan's game with Western Michigan was stopped for good late in the third quarter on Saturday. Games at Notre Dame, Iowa, and Tennessee were delayed by lightning and Eastern Michigan pushed back its home game from Saturday to Sunday.
The wide-open offenses that Holgorsen built the past three years as offensive coordinator at Oklahoma State and Houston produced average scores of 58-9 in season openers.
On Sunday, the Mountaineers had plenty of offensive plays. It just didn't equate into that many yards, especially on the ground.
Now Holgorsen has a short week to figure out how what to tweak before Saturday's home game against Norfolk State.
West Virginia freshman Andrew Buie got the start over three other running backs but was limited to a team-high 30 yards on 15 carries. He left in the third quarter after taking a hard hit, his arm dangling at his side.
On West Virginia's next series, freshman Vernard Roberts was stopped for no gain on fourth-and-1 near midfield. Marshall took over and drove inside the West Virginia 10 but settled for Tyler Warner's third field goal.
Austin extended West Virginia's lead on the ensuing kickoff, weaving 100 yards into the end zone to put the Mountaineers ahead 27-13.
After Tyler Bitancurt's extra point kick, play was stopped the first time as heavy thunderstorms moved in. Some in the sellout crowd gathered in the concourse, others went to a nearby indoor practice facility -- and a steady stream of fans got in their cars and left.
Roberts capped West Virginia's only possession after the first delay with a 1-yard score.
A pair of transfers helped out Smith on West Virginia's first two touchdown drives.
Wake Forest transfer Devon Brown's 14-yard catch and Buie's 15-yard run on a screen pass set up West Virginia's first score, a 4-yard pass from Smith to Ivan McCartney.
Duquesne transfer Willie Milhouse caught a 29-yard pass late in the second quarter to set up Smith's 15-yard TD toss to Stedman Bailey for a 17-7 lead.
Marshall freshman Rakeem Cato was poised in his debut at quarterback but couldn't get the Thundering Herd into the end zone. He went 15 of 21 for 115 yards without an interception.
Overall, Marshall struggled in the return of second-year coach Doc Holliday to his alma mater. He left West Virginia's staff two years ago.
The Thundering Herd's lone touchdown came on an 87-yard punt return by Andre Booker to open the scoring. Booker was called to duty after Troy Evans, last year's regular punt and kickoff returner, was arrested earlier in the week on armed robbery charges.
Marshall managed just five first downs and 119 yards of offense in the first half, with most of those coming on the final drive that led to a field goal.
Marshall, which has lost 11 consecutive games to ranked opponents dating to 2003, heads home to play Southern Mississippi next Saturday.
Marshall (0-0) at West Virginia (0-0) Sept. 4, 3:30, ESPN
Here's The Deal … In the Mountain State, they call this match up the Friends of Coal Bowl, an ironic moniker since the two participants are anything but friendly. This has become a nasty rivalry in the region, one that's been completely dominated by West Virginia. In fact, the Mountaineers have never lost to their foe from Huntington. They'll attempt to keep that trend going with a new head coach calling the shots. Dana Holgorsen, originally slated to be the coach-in-waiting until 2012, was given the keys to the car when Bill Stewart was let go in early June. This will be the first chance for the fans in Morgantown to get a glimpse of Holgorsen's offense, which promises to be far more up-tempo and unconventional than recent editions. Marshall is set to begin its second year with Doc Holliday as its head coach. Last season was predictably mediocre, finishing at 5-7 and in the middle of Conference USA's East Division. After taking the Mountaineers to overtime last September, the Herd would love to use Sunday's game as a launching point for the Holliday era.
Why Marshall Might Win: While the 'neers will be taking the new offense for a test drive, the Herd defense has already logged plenty of miles at this level. The bulk of last season's D returns for Marshall, including game-changing DE Vinny Curry. He's one of the nation's premier pass rushers and a genuine concern for a West Virginia O-line seeking more consistency. With No. 99 warranting extra attention, it'll free up the rest of the front seven to make stops. Plus, S Omar Brown and the Herd secondary is an underrated group that's going complicate Holgorsen's quest to navigate the airways.
Why West Virginia Might Win: In terms of the skill positions, this game will be a mismatch. In one corner, the Mountaineers have a rising star at quarterback in Geno Smith, and tremendous speed at running back and wide receiver. Over in the other, the challenger is still trying to decide between unproven sophomore A.J. Graham and true freshman Rakeem Cato. The receivers aside, Marshall lacks the pop on offense to solve a defense that's perennially stout, even when it has myriad holes to fill. Whoever gets the nod from Holliday must deal with DE Bruce Irvin, DT Julian Miller and a feisty West Virginia pass rush.
What To Watch Out For: The one big misnomer about Holgorsen's system is that it ignores the ground game. Nothing could be further from the truth. By spreading the field, his offenses actually create wider running lanes for the backs. In Morgantown, the only question now is who replaces Noel Devine as the feature runner. One sure thing is that it's going to be a wide-open and fluid situation right into the opener. The staff's options include sophomore Trey Johnson and a trio of rookies, Dustin Garrison, Andrew Buie and Vernard Roberts. Youth is going to be served in the backfield, one way or another.
What Will Happen: New coach. New offense. Interesting times in Morgantown. While West Virginia is excited about the future for the first time in a while, it doesn't mean that the new systems will be ready-made right out of the gate. It's going to take a while before the offense clicks and the defense adjusts to so many unfamiliar faces in the rotation. Still, the Herd hasn't exactly narrowed the gap on the Mountaineers, which means this rivalry will remain one-sided for at least another year.

I moved my profile to a RAMdisk, and Brif's sqlite files grow fast with several feeds. I'd appreciate not having the RAMdisk swallow 50 or so MB, thus having the option to choose Brief's parent directory for its data (I mean its sqlite files) would be in my case a much appreciated solution.

The fallout from a KKK prank at the Ohio State High Patrol's Sandusky post continues.
Lt. Greg Greggila, Sandusky post commander for nearly 14 years, has requested voluntary demotion to sergeant and a transfer to the Fremont post, patrol spokesman Sgt. Craig Cvetan said.
Greggila made the request April 17 via an inner-office communication to the patrol's human resource management office. He did not state in the request why he wanted the demotion or transfer, Cvetan said.
The human resource management office processed the request Friday, Cvetan said. It now goes up the "chain of command" to the office of the Ohio Department of Public Safety director Henry Guzman. Guzman's office will make the decision whether to accept or reject Greggila's request, Cvetan said.
Greggila did not return a call seeking comment on Friday.
Greggila took over the job of Sandusky post commander in November 1994, when he was promoted to lieutenant and transferred from the Bowling Green post, Cvetan said.
Greggila is still Sandusky post commander until Guzman makes a decision on the request, Cvetan said.
Two troopers, Eric E. Wlodarsky and Craig T. Franklin, are on paid administrative leave facing termination for their roles in the incident. Franklin dressed up in a makeshift KKK-like outfit while on duty at the post on Jan. 20 and Wlodarsky, who was a sergeant at the time and also on duty, snapped Franklin's picture with a camera phone.
Investigators were sent a copy of the picture. Both troopers were recommended for termination following an investigation, but were allowed to retain their jobs because of an abeyance agreement provided in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement. On Tuesday, Gov. Ted Strickland ordered Guzman and Col. Richard Collins, superintendent of the highway patrol, to "immediately begin proceedings to terminate the employment," of Wlodarsky and Franklin.
A hearing for the two troopers is scheduled for Tuesday. A lawyer for the Ohio State Troopers Association said Strickland overstepped his authority and had no right to order the troopers' termination.
"We have a signed agreement, and the governor had no authority to do what he did," Elaine Silveria said. Silveria is the assistant general counsel for the Ohio State Troopers Association.
Strickland's decision came just days after the Sandusky chapter of the NAACP called for the firing of Franklin and Wlodarsky during a meeting with Collins April 18 at the Sandusky post.
Franklin and Wlodarsky both said the picture was taken as a joke and was inspired by a skit by comedian Dave Chappelle. Wlodarsky sent the photo to another trooper, Sgt. Jason P. Demuth. Demuth then sent the picture to a dispatcher in Toledo. Demuth was disciplined for not reporting the picture to a supervisor.

Gear Question
Jason Francis
Simmering Ability vs. Pocket Rocket or...
Simmering Ability vs. Pocket Rocket or Brunton Raptor and Flex
How precise is the flame control? I'm looking to get one of these for ultralight outings this summer but was hoping to pick up one with more than just pure boiling capability if possible.
Jason Livingston
This stove simmers exceptionally well. A point that I think you've picked up on is that a stove's simmering capability is not only dependent on how well it regulates the fuel, but the flame pattern can have significant impact on how well the heat is dissipated. The SuperFly's flame pattern is one of the best and will allow you to cook as gourmet as you want while miles into the backcountry. The PocketRocket isn't the best at this because it's flame pattern is highly concentrated into a small area although the flame can be regulated fairly well.
Another stove to consider is the MSR WindPro. This is a light stove at 6.8 oz, but not quite as light as the SuperFly (4.6 oz.). It has the same burner head as the SuperFly, but has a lower profile (translation: is far more stable when using larger pots) and can be used with a windscreen. The reason is it's a satellite canister stove, not a sit-on-top type. Not only will the wind screen make the stove more efficient, it will also help to keep heat trapped in, thus making it one of the best gourmet stoves you can buy. It uses a canister and has one of the best fuel regulators (allowing for a more consistent simmer) available today.
Yet another stove would be the MSR DragonFly. It is a multi-fuel stove (can be used with diesel, white gas, unleaded gas, kerosene, etc.). It is not compatible with a IsoPro Canister however. This stove is the best at simmering of any MSR stove made! For a multi-fuel stove that is saying a lot... It isn't ultra-light (weighs in at 17 oz), but if you want one stove to work in cold weather, be indestructible, easy to maintain, great pot-supports, use of multiple fuels (less money to operate), and something you can pass down to your grandkids, this is the one!
I've used a Flex quite a bit and am pretty impressed. It doesn't burn as hot as the SuperFly or WindPro, but packs up really small. It's simmering capabilities are very good. However for the money, I would go with the SuperFly. The main reason is the SuperFly's dependability. One concern with canisters are the threads on the valve which can easily be damaged. Because the SuperFly bypasses these using it's unique clamping mechanism, you can rely on it far more than any other stove out there. It can also use multiple types of canisters (there are 40 different types of canisters in the world...the SuperFly will work on 30 of the 40). The SuperFly doesn't pack as small, but it's larger burner head will give better cooking results based on my own personal experience.
The Raptor is ok, but it suffers from poor wind resistance. It's simmering isn't that great due to the design of the burner head, but the price is good. I guess you get what you pay for... It isn't a bad value when you consider it comes with a piezo ignition, but I tend to steer away from stoves that have this. The reason is they will inevitably fail and then you're left with a stove that doesn't work properly.

In another depth move designed to strengthen the Connecticut Whale, the Rangers have signed RW Brandon Segal. Terms of the deal are still undisclosed, but Segal is likely going to be an insurance policy for the CT Whale, as the 29 year old winger has just 102 NHL games under his belt (11-11-22). The 6'2″, 209 lb RW plays consistent minutes in the AHL, but has never found the kind of consistency that would help him stick at the NHL level. It is likely that Segal would be an injury call up during the season, if the need arises.

Key Service Management Processes for Cloud Infrastructures
Date Added: Feb 2010
Format: PDF
Cloud computing has significantly impacted how companies deliver and support applications. On the positive side, cloud computing has the potential to both increase end-user productivity and reduce infrastructure costs. But a less-desirable byproduct of the shift to cloud computing is that IT support teams must manage increasingly complex applications and infrastructure. This paper will systematically consider how the advent of cloud infrastructures has affected seven key IT service management processes using a hypothetical case study drawn from Savvis' customer experiences. The authors will follow the evolution of application infrastructure at "Folio Management Corporation" and then describe the company's deployment of these seven processes as FMC moves its applications into the cloud.

Summary of Events
In January of 2013 I revealed a new testing methodology for graphics cards that I dubbed Frame Rating. At the time I was only able to talk about the process, using capture hardware to record the output directly from the DVI connections on graphics cards, but over the course of a few months started to release data and information using this technology. I followed up the story in January with a collection of videos that displayed some of the capture video and what kind of performance issues and anomalies we were able to easily find.
My first full test results were published in February to quite a bit of stir and then finally in late March released Frame Rating Dissected: Full Details on Capture-based Graphics Performance Testing which dramatically changed the way graphics cards and gaming performance was discussed and evaluated forever.
Our testing proved that AMD CrossFire was not improving gaming experiences in the same way that NVIDIA SLI was. Also, we showed that other testing tools like FRAPS were inadequate in showcasing this problem. If you are at all unfamiliar with this testing process or the results it showed, please check out the Frame Rating Dissected story above.
At the time, we tested 5760x1080 resolution using AMD Eyefinity and NVIDIA Surround but found there were too many issues and problems with our scripts and the results they were presenting to give reasonably assured performance metrics. Running AMD + Eyefinity was obviously causing some problems but I wasn't quite able to pinpoint what they were and how severe it might have been. Instead I posted graphs like this:
We were able to show NVIDIA GTX 680 performance and scaling in SLI at 5760x1080 but we only were giving results for the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition in a single GPU configuration.
Since those stories were released, AMD has been very active. At first they were hesitant to believe our results and called into question our processes and the ability for gamers to really see the frame rate issues we were describing. However, after months of work and pressure from quite a few press outlets, AMD released a 13.8 beta driver that offered a Frame Pacing option in the 3D controls that enables the ability to evenly space out frames in multi-GPU configurations producing a smoother gaming experience.
The results were great! The new AMD driver produced very consistent frame times and put CrossFire on a similar playing field to NVIDIA's SLI technology. There were limitation though: the driver only fixed DX10/11 games and only addressed resolutions of 2560x1440 and below.
But the story won't end there. CrossFire and Eyefinity are still very important in a lot of gamers minds and with the constant price drops in 1920x1080 panels, more and more gamers are taking (or thinking of taking) the plunge to the world of Eyefinity and Surround. As it turns out though, there are some more problems and complications with Eyefinity and high-resolution gaming (multi-head 4K) that are cropping up and deserve discussion.

AMD Launches Never Settle Forever: Choose Your Own Game Bundles
Subject: Graphics Cards | August 14, 2013 - 12:00 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: radeon, never settle forever, never settle, amd
It should come as no surprise to our readers that we at PC Perspective have been big fans of what AMD has been doing with game bundles over the last year. With the start of the Never Settle campaign in October of 2012, AMD began down a path to help sell Radeon cards with amazing game bundles and pack ins that NVIDIA and its GeForce brand still have yet to match. It was an amazing move for a company that really wanted to drive sales and gain market share in the discrete graphics space.
Fast forward to today, past the Never Settle Reloaded and Never Settle Level Up campaigns and AMD has another offer for gamers looking to upgrade their GPU: Never Settle Forever. The crux of this new campaign is choice. AMD is allowing gamers to select the free game or games they get out of a curated list rather than having AMD select them for you.
Depending on the card you buy and the tier it falls in, you'll be able to select 1, 2 or 3 games from a list. There are a few catches though that we need to discuss. First, the game list for each tier is NOT the same.
For example, Tomb Raider is only avaiable in the top tier. The currect tier sets work out as follows:
- Gold Tier (3 games): HD 7950 and HD 7970
- Silver Tier (2 games): HD 7800 series
- Bronze Tier (1 game): HD 7770 and HD 7790
The Radeon HD 7990 is not included on these tiers but it will continue with the "8 free games" bundle for the life of the card we were told.
When you buy a card from a participating retailer you'll get a code that you can then take to AMD's Radeon Rewards website and redemption portal. You enter your reward code, register yourself and then you get to browse the games in the available packages. Here are some of the interesting notes:
- Once you register your code, you have until December 31st, 2013 to perform your transaction.
- You can only perform a SINGLE transaction meaning you must use all of your game choices at one time. You CANNOT select one game now and another game later.
- Other games can be added or removed at any time in the Never Settle Forever bundle so once something leaves you cannot get that game anymore.
- There are no promises on what other games may or may not be added to the program between now and the end of the year.
Not being able to split up your selections is a hard pill to swallow as you means you cannot pick up Tomb Raider today and then plan on getting another title next month; if Tomb Raider is gone when a new game is added you will not have access to it. There is likely no techical reason for this restriction other than publisher and business agreements in place with AMD.
It is a letdown that AMD has not included any new games with this bundle refresh. All 9 of the available titles in the Gold tier have been bundled with AMD cards before. Even worse, arguably the two best titles from the previous campaign are missing: Bioshock Infinite and Crysis 3. We do expect other games to be added but AMD would only allude that "new retail games will be added on several occasions" before the end of the year. Does that mean Battlefield 4, Thief or watch_dogs? While I can't say for certain I think it is pretty likely.
So where does that leave us with the new Never Settle Forever bundle today? It's kind of a mixed bag as it stands with the games avaiable in the tiers today getting long in the tooth. Of the 9 games available in Gold only DMC, Tomb Raider and Blood Dragon were released this year. Dues Ex and Dirt 3 were released in 2011 and the rest were sometime in that magical year of 2012. And of those 9 games only two of them are currently for sale for the $49 value (DMC and Tomb Raider) that AMD places on a single game title. Others can be found for $39 (Far Cry 3), $24 (Hitman) or $14 (Blood Dragon).
AMD is still the leader in the bundle and add-on battle for discrete graphics cards but this particular launch is a bit less astounding than the previous ones have been. The upside though is that AMD can now very easily add other games to the mix without having to re-launch the entire program which was obviously the point of this revamp. So while Never Settle Forever doesn't have me as excited as the original campaign, I have a feeling 2013 holds some very good things for it!
AMD Drops Radeon HD 7990 to $699 with 8 Free Games
Subject: Graphics Cards | August 7, 2013 - 01:05 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: amd, radeon, hd 7990, never settle, never settle reloaded
An interesting bit of information just came to PC Perspective this morning and it revolves around the price of the AMD Radeon HD 7990. If the title didn't tip you off, we have found that Newegg.com is listing various HD 7990 dual-Tahiti graphics cards for $699!!
When the card launched in April, it had a retail price of $999 and since then had come down to the ~$880 range. Today though, AMD has definitely made an aggressive move against NVIDIA by lowering the price of its flagship product a full $300.
Not only that, but the Radeon HD 7990 6GB dual-GPU card will still include 8 free PC games, while supplies last. As part of the Never Settle series of bundles, the HD 7990 includes Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon, Hitman Absolution, Sleeping Dogs and Deus Ex. If you don't own all or some of those titles, that makes the HD 7990 price drop even MORE appealing.
The Radeon HD 7990 hasn't been a card to avoid controversy. Our initial review of the card showed that CrossFire scaling was resulting in very poor perceived performance and our Frame Rating system was able to detail how and why very precisely. But on August 1st, AMD released a new Catalyst 13.8 driver that introduced a frame pacing fix for the problem for single monitor (non 4K) users.
I would highly encourage any user thinking about buying the Radeon HD 7990 to read over my Catalyst 13.8 updated article to see if the hardware makes sense for you. With a $699 price tag, compared to the $999 of the GeForce GTX 690 or GTX TITAN from NVIDIA, the product is spectacularly interesting as long as you don't use multi-display Eyefinity or one of the new 4K dual-head displays like the ASUS PQ321Q.
For gamers that are using a single panel though, hopefully at 2560x1440 or 2560x1600, this price drop might turn things around. Check out those new $699 prices at Newegg!
So you want a second opinion on Frame Pacing, eh?

Scott Wasson from The Tech Report and Ryan have been discussing the microstuttering present in Crossfire and while Ryan got his hands on the hardware to capture the raw output first, The Tech Report have been investigating this issue as in depth as Ryan and Ken have been. Their look at the new Catalyst and the effects of Frame Pacing show the same results as you saw yesterday in Ryan's article; for essentially no cost in performance you can get a much smoother experience when using a CrossFire system on a single display. In their article they have done a great job of splicing together videos of runthroughs of several games with the Frame Pacing disabled on one side and enabled on the other, allowing you to see with your own eyes the difference in game play, without having to have your own Crossfire system.
"Can a driver fix what ails the Radeon HD 7990? Will the new Catalysts magically transform this baby into the fastest graphics card on the planet? We go inside the second to find out."

Frame Pacing for CrossFire
When the Radeon HD 7990 launched in April of this year, we had some not-so-great things to say about it. The HD 7990 depends on CrossFire technology to function and we had found quite a few problems with AMD's CrossFire technology over the last months of testing with our Frame Rating technology, the HD 7990 "had a hard time justifying its $1000 price tag." Right at launch, AMD gave us a taste of a new driver that they were hoping would fix the frame pacing and frame time variance issues seen in CrossFire, and it looked positive. The problem was that the driver wouldn't be available until summer.
As I said then: "But until that driver is perfected, is bug free and is presented to buyers as a made-for-primetime solution, I just cannot recommend an investment this large on the Radeon HD 7990."
Today could be a very big day for AMD - the release of the promised driver update that enables frame pacing on AMD 7000-series CrossFire configurations including the Radeon HD 7990 graphics cards with a pair of Tahiti GPUs.
It's not perfect yet and there are some things to keep an eye on. For example, this fix will not address Eyefinity configurations which includes multi-panel solutions and the new 4K 60 Hz displays that require a tiled display configuration. Also, we found some issues with more than two GPU CrossFire that we'll address in a later page too.
New Driver Details
Starting with 13.8 and moving forward, AMD plans to have the frame pacing fix integrated into all future drivers. The software team has implemented a software based frame pacing algorithm that simply monitors the time it takes for each GPU to render a frame, how long a frame is displayed on the screen and inserts delays into the present calls when necessary to prevent very tightly timed frame renders. This balances or "paces" the frame output to the screen without lowering the overall frame rate. The driver monitors this constantly in real-time and minor changes are made on a regular basis to keep the GPUs in check.
As you would expect, this algorithm is completely game engine independent and the games should be completely oblivious to all that is going on (other than the feedback from present calls, etc).
This fix is generic meaning it is not tied to any specific game and doesn't require profiles like CrossFire can from time to time. The current implementation will work with DX10 and DX11 based titles only with DX9 support being added later with another release. AMD claims this was simply a development time issue and since most modern GPU-bound titles are DX10/11 based they focused on that area first. In phase 2 of the frame pacing implementation AMD will add in DX9 and OpenGL support. AMD wouldn't give me a timeline for implementation though so we'll have to see how much pressure AMD continues with internally to get the job done.

AMD Catalyst for Windows 8.1 Release Preview
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | June 26, 2013 - 06:05 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Windows 8.1, radeon, amd
You should be extremely cautious about upgrading to the Windows 8.1 Release Preview. Each of your apps, and all of your desktop software, must be reinstalled when the final code is released later this year; it is a detour to a dead end.
If curiosity overwhelms reason, and your graphics card was made by AMD withing the last few years, you will at least have a driver available.
It would be a good idea to refer to the AMD article to ensure that your specific model is supported. The driver covers many graphics cards from the Radeon, APU, and FirePro product categories. Many models are certified against Windows Display Driver Model version 1.3 (WDDM 1.3) although some, pre-Graphics Core Next architecture (as far as I can tell), are left behind with WDDM 1.2 introduced with Windows 8.
WDDM 1.3, new to Windows 8.1, allows for a few new developer features:
Enumerating GPU engine capabilities
- A DirectX interface to query card capabilities
- Helps schedule work, especially in "Linked Display Adapter" (LDA, think Crossfire) configurations.
Using cross-adapter resources in a hybrid system
- For systems with both discrete and embedded GPUs, such as an APU and a Radeon Card
- Allows for automatic loading of both GPUs simultaneously for appropriate applications
- Cool, but I've already loaded separate OpenCL kernels simultaneously on both GTX 670 and Intel HD 4000 in Windows 7. Admittedly, it would be nice if it were officially supported functionality, though.
Choice in YUV format ranges, studio or extended, for Microsoft Media Foundation (MMF)
- Formerly, MMF video processing assumed 16-235 black-white, which professional studios use.
- Webcam and Point-and-Shoot use 0-255 (a full byte), which are now processed properly.
Wireless Display (Miracast)
- Attach your PC wirelessly to a Miracast display adapter attached to TV by HDMI, or whatever.
Multiplane overlay support
- Allows GPU to perform complicated compositing, such as video over a website.
- If it's the same as proposed for Linux, will also allow translucency.
AMD's advertised enhancements for Windows 8.1 are:
Wireless Display
- Already covered, a part of WDDM 1.3.
48 Hz Dynamic Refresh rates for Video Playback
- Not a clue, unless it is part of an upcoming HFR format for consumers.
Aggressive V-sync interrupt optimization
- Again, not a clue, but it sounds like something to be Frame Rated?
Skype/Lync video conferencing acceleration
- ... just when we move to a dual-machine Skype broadcasting setup...
DX 11.1 feature: Tiled Resources
- Some sources claim DirectX 11.2???
- Will render the most apparent details to a player with higher quality.
If you own Windows 8, you can check out 8.1 by downloading it from the Windows Store... if you dare. By tomorrow, Microsoft will provide ISO version for users to create install media for users who want to fresh-install to a, hopefully unimportant, machine.
The drivers, along with (again) the list of supported cards, are available at AMD.
Frame Rating: AMD plans driver release to address frame pacing for July 31st
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 20, 2013 - 04:05 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: radeon, nvidia, geforce, frame rating, fcat, crossfire, amd
Well, the date has been set. AMD publicly stated on its @AMDRadeon Twitter account that a new version the prototype driver we originally previewed with the release of the Radeon HD 7990 in April will be released to the public on July 31st. For a problem that many in the industry didn't think existed.
Big news for CrossFire! We plan to release our driver that delivers improved multi-GPU frame pacing on July 31. More info soon.
— AMD Radeon Graphics (@AMDRadeon) June 20, 2013
Since that April release AMD has been very quiet about its driver changes and actually has refused to send me updated prototypes over the spring. Either they have it figured out or they are worried they haven't - but it looks like we'll find out at the end of next month and I feel pretty confident that the team will be able to address the issues we brought to light.
For those of you that might have missed the discussion, our series of Frame Rating stories will tell you all about the issues with frame pacing and stutter in regards to AMD's CrossFire multi-GPU technology.
- Frame Rating Dissected: Full Details on Capture-based Graphics Performance Testing
- Frame Rating: Visual Effects of Vsync on Gaming Animation
- Frame Rating: AMD Improves CrossFire with Prototype Driver
AMD gave the media a prototype driver in April to test with the Radeon HD 7990, a card that depends on CrossFire to work correctly, and the improvements were pretty drastic.
So what can we expect on July 31st? A driver that will give users the option to disable or enable the frame pacing technology they are developing - though I am still of the mindset that disabling is never advantageous. More to come in the next 30 days!
Rumor: AMD Gets Exclusive Optimization for all Frostbite 3 Games
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 18, 2013 - 03:39 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: radeon, nvidia, geforce, frostbite 3, ea, dice, amd
The original source article at IGN.com has been updated with some new information. Now they are saying the agreement between AMD and EA is "non-exclusive and gamers using other components will be supported."
The quote from an EA rep says as follows:
DICE has a partnership with AMD specifically for Battlefield 4 on PC to showcase and optimize the game for AMD hardware," an EA spokesperson said. "This does not exclude DICE from working with other partners to ensure players have a great experience across a wide set of PCs for all their titles.
This could be a huge deal for NVIDIA and AMD in the coming months - according to a story at IGN.com, AMD has entered into an agreement with EA that will allow them exclusive rights to optimization for all games based around the Frostbite 3 engine. That includes Battlefield 4, Mirror's Edge 2, Need for Speed Rivals and many more games due out this year and in 2014. Here is the quote that is getting my attention:
Starting with the release of Battlefield 4, all current and future titles using the Frostbite 3 engine — Need for Speed Rivals, Mirror's Edge 2, etc. — will ship optimized exclusively for AMD GPUs and CPUs. While Nvidia-based systems will be supported, the company won't be able to develop and distribute updated drivers until after each game is released.
Battlefield 4 will be exclusive optimized for AMD hardware.
This is huge news for AMD as the Frostbite 3 engine will be used for all EA published games going forward with the exception of sports titles. The three mentioned above are huge but this also includes Star Wars Battlefront, Dragon Age and even the next Mass Effect so I can't really emphasize enough how big of a win this could be for AMD's marketing and developer relations teams.
I am particularly interested in this line as well:
While Nvidia-based systems will be supported, the company won't be able to develop and distribute updated drivers until after each game is released.
The world of PC optimizations and partnerships has been around for a long time so this isn't a huge surprise for anyone that follows PC gaming. What is bothersome to me is that both EA and AMD
are saying are rumored to have agreed that NVIDIA won't get access to the game as it is being developed - something that is CRUCIAL for day-of driver releases and performance tweaks for GeForce card owners. In most cases, both AMD and NVIDIA developer relations teams get early access to game builds for PC titles in order to validate compatibility and to improve performance of these games for the public release. Without these builds, NVIDIA would be at a big disadvantage. This is exactly what happend with the recent Tomb Raider release.
AMD called me to reiterate their stance that competition does not automatically mean cutting out the other guy. In the Tomb Raider story linked above, Neil Robison, AMD's Senior Director of Consumer and Graphics Alliances, states quite plainly: "The thing that angers me the most is when I see a request to debilitate a game. I understand winning, I get that, and I understand aggressive companies, I get that. Why would you ever want to introduce a feature on purpose that would make a game not good for half the gaming audience?"
So what do we take away from that statement, made in a story published in March, and today's rumor? We have to take AMD at its word until we see solid evidence otherwise, or enough cases of this occurring to feel like I am being duped but AMD wants us all to know that they are playing the game the "right way." That stance just happens to be counter to this rumor.
NVIDIA had performance and compatibility issues with Tomb Raider upon release.
The irony in all of this is that AMD has been accusing NVIDIA of doing this exact thing for years - though without any public statements from developers, publishers or NVIDIA. When Batman: Arkham Asylum was launched AMD basically said that NVIDIA had locked them out of supporting antialiasing. In 2008, Assassin's Creed dropped DX 10.1 support supposedly because NVIDIA asked them too, who didn't have support for it at the time in GeForce cards. Or even that NVIDIA was disabling cores for PhysX CPU support to help prop up GeForce sales. At the time, AMD PR spun this as the worst possible thing for a company to do in the name of gamers, that is was bad for the industry, etc. But times change as opportunity changes.
The cold truth is that this is why AMD decided to take the chance that NVIDIA was allegedly unwilling to and take the console design wins that are often noted as being "bad business." If settling for razor thin margins on the consoles is a risk, the reward that AMD is hoping to get is exactly this: benefits in other markets thanks to better relationships with game developers.
Will the advantage be with AMD thanks to PS4 and Xbox One hardware?
At E3 I spoke in-depth with both NVIDIA and AMD executives about this debate and as you might expect both have very different opinions about what is going to transpire in the next 12-24 months. AMD views this advantage (being in the consoles) as the big bet that is going to pay off for the more profitable PC space. NVIDIA thinks that AMD still doesn't have what it takes to truly support developers in the long run and they don't have the engineers to innovate on the technology side. In my view, having Radeon-based processors in the Xbox One and Playstation 4 (as well as the Wii U I guess) gives AMD a head start but won't win them the race for the hearts and minds of PC gamers. There is still a lot of work to be done for that.
Before this story broke I was planning on outlining another editorial on this subject and it looks like it just got promoted to a top priority. There appear to be a lot of proverbial shoes left to drop in this battle, but it definitely needs more research and discussion.
Remember the issues with Batman: Arkham Asylum? I do.
I asked both NVIDIA and AMD for feedback on this story but only AMD has replied thus far. Robert Hallock, PR manager for gaming and graphics, Graphics Business Unit at AMD sent me this:
It makes sense that game developers would focus on AMD hardware with AMD hardware being the backbone of the next console generation. At this time, though, our relationship with EA is exclusively focused on Battlefield 4 and its hardware optimizations for AMD CPUs, GPUs and APUs.
Not much there, but he is also not denying of the original report coming from IGN. It might just be too early for a more official statement. I will update this story with information from NVIDIA if I hear anything else.
What do YOU think about this announcement though? Is this good news for AMD and bad news for NVIDIA? Is it good or bad for the gamer and in particular, the PC gamer? Your input will help guide or upcoming continued talks with NVIDIA and AMD on the subject.
Just so we all have some clarification on this and on the potential for validity of the rumor, this is where I sourced the story from this afternoon:
AMD wants you to know there is a Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition for $419
Subject: Graphics Cards | June 7, 2013 - 02:33 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: amd, radeon, hd 7970 ghz edition, HD 7970, never settle
AMD just passed me a note that I found to be very interesting. In an obvious response to the release of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 that offers the GK104 GPU (previously only in the GTX 680) for a lower price of $399, AMD wants you to know that at least ONE Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition card is priced lower than the others.
The Sapphire Vapor-XHD 7970 GHz Edition is currently listed on Newegg.com for $419, a cool $30 less than the other HD 7970 GHz Edition cards. This is not a card-wide price drop to $419 though. AMD had this to say:
In late May I noted that we would be working with our partners to improve channel supply of the AMD Radeon™ HD 7970 GHz Edition to North American resellers like Newegg.com. Today I'm mailing to let you know that this process has begun to bear fruit, with the Sapphire Vapor-X HD 7970 GHz Edition now listing for the AMD SEP of $419 US. Of course, this GPU is also eligible for the Never Settle Reloaded AND Level Up programs!
Improving supply is an ongoing process, of course, but we're pleased with the initial results of our efforts and hope you might pass word to your readers if you get a chance.
This "ongoing process" might mean that we'll see other partners' card sell for this lower price but it also might not. In AMD's defense, our testing proves that in single GPU configurations, the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition does very well compared to the GTX 770, especially at higher resolutions.
I did ask AMD for some more answers in regards to what other partners think about a competitor getting unique treatment with AMD to offer this lower price unit, but I haven't received an answer yet. I'll update here when we do!
For today though, if you are looking for a Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition that also comes with the AMD Never Settle game bundle (Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Tomb Raider), it's hard to go wrong with that $419 option.
The Architectural Deep Dive
AMD officially unveiled their brand new Bobcat architecture to the world at CES 2011. This was a very important release for AMD in the low power market. Even though Netbooks were a dying breed at that time, AMD experienced a good uptick in sales due to the good combination of price, performance, and power consumption for the new Brazos platform. AMD was of the opinion that a single CPU design would not be able to span the power consumption spectrum of CPUs at the time, and so Bobcat was designed to fill that space which existed from 1 watt to 25 watts. Bobcat never was able to get down to that 1 watt point, but the Z-60 was a 4.5 watt part with two cores and the full 80 Radeon cores.
The Bobcat architecture was produced on TSMC's 40 nm process. AMD eschewed the upcoming 32 nm HKMG/SOI process that was being utilized for the upcoming Llano and Bulldozer parts. In hindsight, this was a good idea. Yields took a while to improve on GLOBALFOUNDRIES new process, while the existing 40 nm product from TSMC was running at full speed. AMD was able to provide the market in fairly short order with good quantities of Bobcat based APUs. The product more than paid for itself, and while not exactly a runaway success that garnered many points of marketshare from Intel, it helped to provide AMD with some stability in the market. Furthermore, it provided a very good foundation for AMD when it comes to low power parts that are feature rich and offer competitive performance.
The original Brazos update did not happen, instead AMD introduced Brazos 2.0 which was a more process improvement oriented product which featured slightly higher speeds but remained in the same TDP range. The uptake of this product was limited, and obviously it was a minor refresh to buoy purchases of the aging product. Competition was coming from low power Ivy Bridge based chips, as well as AMD's new Trinity products which could reach TDPs of 17 watts. Brazos and Brazos 2.0 did find a home in low powered, but full sized notebooks that were very inexpensive. Even heavily leaning Intel based manufacturers like Toshiba released Brazos based products in the sub-$500 market. The combination of good CPU performance and above average GPU performance made this a strong product in this particular market. It was so power efficient, small batteries were typically needed, thereby further lowering the cost.
All things must pass, and Brazos is no exception. Intel has a slew of 22 nm parts that are encroaching on the sub-15 watt territory, ARM partners have quite a few products that are getting pretty decent in terms of overall performance, and the graphics on all of these parts are seeing some significant upgrades. The 40 nm based Bobcat products are no longer competitive with what the market has to offer. So at this time we are finally seeing the first Jaguar based products. Jaguar is not a revolutionary product, but it improves on nearly every aspect of performance and power usage as compared to Bobcat.

"Messire Dieu, premier servi!" The Lord God must be served first. But this service is not one of grain and fruits, physical firstfruits. It is our own selves that we must offer in Christ, ourselves as firsfruits in Christ the firsfruits, Aparchē Christos.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
3/18/2013 (2 years ago)
Published in Living Faith
Keywords: firsfruits, bikkurim, reshith, aparche, Christ, sanctifying grace, Andrew M. Greenwell
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - "Messire Dieu, premier servi!" said St. Joan of Arc. The Lord God must be served first. The notion of serving God first is deeply entrenched in the religious sentiment in man, so that it is a principle of natural or pagan religions as well as a central tenet of the Catholic Faith.
This principle of serving God first is reflected in the notion of "first fruits." The deity is to be given the "first fruits," even the "first of the first fruits," of the harvest.
In ancient Greece, the offering of the first fruits of the harvest was called aparchē. In Latin the word for the first fruit offering is primatias. Greek and Roman pagans offered the choice fruits of the harvest to their divinities.
While this sentiment is found in natural religion, it is also part of revealed religion, and was a practice among the Hebrews enjoined upon them under their revealed law. Hebrew uses a variety of words for the first fruit offering, including reshith and bikkurim.
The distinction between these terms is not very clear, though there seems to be a general but not absolute connotation that reshith relates to products created by human labor (e.g., bread), whereas bikkurim refers to products that are the yield of nature (e.g., grain).
Sometimes the Hebrew scriptures uses the words reshith and bikkurim separately. Sometimes, it combines the two.
For example, in Numbers 15:20, the law instructs that the Jew is to "offer the LORD a contribution consisting of a cake of your first batch [reshith] of dough."
In Leviticus 2:14, the law instructions: "If you present a cereal offering of first fruits [bikkurim] to the LORD, you shall offer it in the form of fresh grits of new ears of grain, roasted by fire."
On occasion, the terms reshith and bikkurim are joined, such as in Exodus 23:19, where the Jews are told: "The choicest first fruits [ראשית בכורי, reshith bikkurim] of your soil you shall bring to the house of the LORD, your God." See also Ex. 34:26; Ez. 44:30.
The Greek word aparchē, and sometimes the word protogennemata, is what is used in the New Testament and in the Septuagint or Greek translation of the Old Testament to translate the Hebrew word for "first fruits," bikkurim or reshith. When the Old Testament combines bikkurim and reshith, the Greek combines the words aparchē and protogennemata.
The Jewish law concerning the offering of first fruits was a ceremonial or liturgical law that was abrogated, or perhaps better, fulfilled in Christ, rendering such law obsolete.
For this reason, the notion of "first fruits" is found in the New Testament in only a metaphorical sense. Our sacrifice is no longer one of physical first fruits-but a broken spirit, a contrite heart. We offer ourselves as firstfruits in Christ the firstfruits.
Since Christ's sacrifice, there is no longer need for the ceremonial law relating to the offering of firstfruits.
In his first letter to the Corinthians, St. Paul uses the term "first fruits" to refer to Christ himself. "Christ the firstfruits" Aparchē Christos. (1 Cor. 15:23) Jesus the firstfruits has offered himself-the firstfruits-to the Father in a holy and unblemished sacrifice.
Jesus ought to be looked at as the choicest of the choicest portion of mankind, the one and only reshith bikkurim, the one and only aparche. Jesus-the word of God become man-is like us in all things but sin. (Heb. 4:15)
St. Paul recognizes that, as part of the life of sanctifying grace, Christians become incorporated in Christ's body and thereby enter into the benefits of his passion and death and resurrection. When we are baptized, we are baptized into Christ (Gal. 3:27), and become incorporated into the very body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:13).
This is also the teaching that is found in the Gospels: "I am the vine," says Jesus, "and you are the branches." (John 15:5). When in a state of sanctifying grace, we are engrafted into Christ. (Cf. Rom. 11:16-24)
By grace, we become adopted sons of God. (E.g., Rom. 8:14-17). As a result of the gift of sanctifying grace, we become, in that memorable phrase, sons in the son, filii in filio.
Our status as sons in the son, filii in filio, also means that we, like Christ, share in his firstruits status. We become incorporated into "Christ the firstfruits," Aparchē Christos, and, indeed, obtain the "firstfruits of the Spirit" [aparchēn tou pneumatos] (Rom. 8:23) as part of our supernatural life.
We participate-in God's great gift of sanctifying grace-in the very holiness of Jesus. "If the first fruits [aparchē] are holy," says St. Paul in his epistle to the Romans, "so is the whole batch of dough." "And if the root is holy, so are the branches." (Rom. 11:16) Since Christ the firstfruits is holy, so are those who maintain themselves in a life of sanctifying grace.
Living in sanctifying grace, then, makes us not only sons in the son, filii in filio, but also first fruits in the first fruits. Through Jesus, St. James tells us in his epistle, God the Father "willed to give us birth by the word of truth that we may be a kind of firstfruits [aparchēn] of his creatures."
"It is no longer I that live I, but Christ who lives in me," says St. Paul. (Gal. 2:20) This life of Christ in us gives us firstfruits status.
So intimately do we participate in Christ's firstfruits status, that St. Paul refers to individual Christians as firstruits. For example, in his epistle to the Romans, he refers to Epaenetus as the "firstfruits in Asia for Christ" (Rom. 16:5), and in his first letter to the Corinthians, he refers to the household of Stephanas as the "firstfruits of Achaia" (1 Cor. 16:15).
This firstruits status, moreover, is what saves us, and we maintain it even in heaven. St. John in Revelations has a heavenly vision of the "ones who follow the Lamb wherever he goes." These, the Apostle John states, "have been ransomed as the firstfruits [aparchē] of the human race for God and the Lamb." (Rev. 14:4)
"Messire Dieu, premier servi!" The Lord God must be served first. But this service is not one of grain and fruits, physical firstfruits. It is our own selves that we must offer in Christ, ourselves as firsfruits in Christ the firsfruits, Aparchē Christos.
This is exactly the sentiment behind St. Paul's teaching: "I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship." (Rom. 12:1).
This Lent, let us re-offer ourselves to God as a living sacrifice, our spiritual worship, as firstfruits in the firstfruits Christ, and so render ourselves holy and pleasing to God.

Re: State control of Camden's schools.
Gov. Chris Christie recently announced that the state will "take over" or assume direct oversight and operational control of the city public schools. He stated, "We cannot fail these children any longer." He vowed to treat Camden children "as if they're our own children."
Even though the success history for state takeover of school districts has been dismissal at best, and I understand the underlying concerns of those opposing such action, I have to applaud him for having the courage to act.
When school children receive photocopies of textbooks instead of actual books, the four-year graduation rate is 49 percent (37 points below the state average), some classes have substitute teachers for extended periods of time, who would, in their sane mind, freely send their child to such an educational environment?
The district's academic record has been well documented for years. Camden is ranked among the state's worst performers in graduation and academic performance. It was reported that Christie had come to a point in his administration where he concluded, "enough is enough" and that he "didn't want to look back on his time as governor and say I should have done something differently, I should have acted more aggressively."
My biggest regret on this matter is that we, the African-American community, didn't first come to these same two conclusions!

On the existence of Pettis integrable functions which are not Birkhoff integrable
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Let be a weakly Lindelöf determined Banach space. We prove that if is non-separable, then there exist a complete probability space and a bounded Pettis integrable function that is not Birkhoff integrable; when the density character of is greater than or equal to the continuum, then is defined on with the Lebesgue measure. Moreover, in the particular case (the cardinality of being greater than or equal to the continuum) the function can be taken as the pointwise limit of a uniformly bounded sequence of Birkhoff integrable functions, showing that the analogue of Lebesgue's dominated convergence theorem for the Birkhoff integral does not hold in general.

BOSTON -- Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was waiting for Tony Parker to break out. That's just what Parker did Wednesday night, leading San Antonio to a 112-100 victory over the Celtics in the opener of the Spurs' five-game road trip. "This was his best game in a while," Popovich said after Parker scored 26 points and dished out six assists in the road win. "He hasn't really scored, he hasn't been aggressive for whatever reason. He's known it. He's been trying to work through it, trying to put a finger on it, we're not (what it had been) but tonight he played a complete game. "I thought he worked hard on (Rajon) Rondo; I mean, he's so hard to cover, he's so dangerous because he involves so many people; (Parker) did a good job there and on offense he was real aggressive for us and created a lot of stuff, so this is the Tony Parker that we're used to, that we have to have if we're going to beat good teams like Boston." Rondo put on a second-half offensive show, but it was Parker's...
