Building Communities in an Online Environment
by Teri Lesesne
February 28, 2013
I embraced online sites and social networks years ago. However, when it came to my classes in children's and YA literature, I resisted the move from face-to-face (FTF) to online courses. Instead, I used a hybrid approach with some FTF meetings and others done with online courseware. As the hours spent in FTF meetings dwindled from 45 to 30 to 15 to 8 and finally to 4, I was determined to build a reading community online that would mimic what I could do in a traditional classroom. The basis for my crafting an online community was to consider what elements any community of readers shared. The key aspects of community for me were three:
I had to create a
list of books we would all read and discuss;
I had to
my students with one another despite our separation; and
I had to initiate meaningful
about books.
The first step was simple enough. I used the social networks to ask for recommendations of books that teachers and librarians who work with school aged students should know. I certainly had some criteria: diversity in genre and formats and forms and protagonists, older titles as well as newer ones, and literary as well as appealing.
Lists are, even with input from others, idiosyncratic: they do reflect me; I am keenly aware that they may not all appeal to the members of the class. Therefore, I do an activity my colleague Chris Crowe does with his students. At the end of the semester, I have the students rank the books from their most favorite all the way down to their least favorite. After I collect all of these rankings, I tally them. The books with the highest numbers are the least favorites from the class. Conversely, the books with the lowest totals are the favorites. Amazingly, there is not much that separates the top choices from the bottom rankings. I share this with the students so that they might realize that their LEAST favorite book was someone's MOST favorite book and vice versa. This activity has never resulted in a book being replaced on the core list.
That is not to say the core is static, as every semester I replace two to three titles. New books migrate to the list because they represent some significant change in literature. For instance, when AMERICAN BORN CHINESE became the first graphic novel to win a Printz Honor Medal, it was added to the list. Other GNs have joined the list as this format continues to evolve.
The second step is a bit trickier. How can we connect with one another even though miles separate us? How can we get to know one another in an online forum? One assignment seems to connect us all as readers (and since this is a graduate level class, most students do come into the class as readers). It was an assignment I did more than 20 years ago when I took YA literature from Dick Abrahamson. In turn, it was an assignment he, too, had completed for YA literature: the reading autobiography. I invite students to tell me about their road to lifelong reading (and, for the most part, no one enters this program without a passion for reading being in place). What are their earliest memories of reading? What was reading like in elementary school? How did they learn to read? What did they read in adolescence? In college? As an adult? Students have the option of writing a traditional narrative or constructing some sort of visual (prezis, reading timelines, infographics).
As we share our journeys, two things become clear: there are certain experiences that seem to connect those who loved reading early on, and not everyone's journey has been an easy one. The experiences that connect those of us who are lifelong readers mirror those in Carlsen and Sherrill's (NCTE, 1988) VOICES OF READERS: HOW WE COME TO LOVE BOOKS. They include experience such as the following:
Having someone read aloud
Having access to books in the home
Being able to select books to read (choice)
Talking with someone else who has read the book
It becomes readily apparent that, while many of us read different books along the path to lifelong reading, there were some shared titles—especially a love for reading serially. The series students loved varied depending on the age of the student, but series and reading serially was commonplace.
As for the students whose journeys were more arduous, there were still commonalities. Many of my graduate students are second language learners; they struggled to learn how to read in English when they were in school (and think of what they bring to those students who are also struggling with the same task). Books were not readily accessible in their homes; libraries were not always welcoming places or were not close enough to the neighborhoods where they could be accessed. Poverty played a significant role. Seeing these similarities and differences engages students in some meaningful conversations about how their experiences will be brought to bear within the school library. Connections are being made.
Promulgating meaningful discussion of books could be dicey. I did not want this discussion to devolve into dissection, but I do want the discussion to go beyond the surface. Having students interact in online forums is much like group work in a traditional classroom: it is possible for one person to dominate and for someone to sort of fade into the background. I opted to eschew the Discussion Board portion of the course software. Instead, I am using some new apps for book reading and discussion.
One of these is
, an app for the iPad (I am using this with students who have these devices already). Subtext allows a group to read a book and annotate it as they read. They can pose questions, make comments and predictions, and even share URLs and other information they link to the text.
, another app, permits interaction as well.
While it might be due in part to the
Hawthorne Effect
, I am seeing much more active participation and much less echoing of the comments of other students. Some of the conversation about book centers on being able to identify those salient qualities that separate a book from a piece of literature, good books from great books. Therefore, students apply criteria and evaluate books in whatever approach works best (charts, PowerPoints,
, etc.). They also create bibliographies such as "If you loved ______, then you might like these books." In other words, they are creating real world documents, the types of documents they will use as school librarians.
This conversation is critical. Even more crucial is that the conversation extends beyond our class. So, students join in #titletalk, a monthly Twitter chat where books and ideas are exchanged in a fast-paced hour of talk using only 140 characters. Here my students are able to connect with teachers and librarians and authors and publishers from all over the United States.
I will be presenting a session on building community in an online environment as part of a panel including
Donalyn Miller
Terry Thompson
, classroom teachers. The session, "
Scaffolding Students' Independence and Teachers' Professional Development through Authentic Reading Communities
," is scheduled for Saturday, April 20, from 11:00AM–1:45PM. Communities increase the reading done by students, help them make connections with other readers, and challenge readers to branch out.
Teri is also moderating the author panel,
"'And Then What Happens?' The Enduring Appeal of Series Fiction,"
at IRA's 58th Annual Convention, April 19-22, 2013, in San Antonio, Texas. The panel features
Tom Angleberger

Jonny Lang started playing the guitar at the age of twelve, after his father took him to see one of the few blues bands in Fargo, North Dakota. A few short years later, he released the critically acclaimed multi-platinum Lie to Me and took the blues world by storm. In more than ten years on the road, Lang has toured with the Rolling Stones, Buddy Guy, Aerosmith, B.B. King, Blues Traveler, Jeff Beck and Sting, all while establishing himself as one of the most passionate players in the biz.

HNH aims for a transparent ensemble approach in which each sound is important, and can be heard distinctly. The trio's lean instrumentation of trumpet, drums and bass helps make this possible, but the individual players' personalities are ultimately most important in the group's sound. Joe Hertenstein's playing is generally understated. He focuses on the pure palette of sounds available from his drum kit alone. For a drummer-led album, drum solos on HNH are conspicuously – and refreshingly – absent but for a few moments where Hertenstein's playing comes to the fore, like on his active and colorful solo on "Prelude and Tomorrow's Problem."
A drawback to the album is that it has a uniformity of pulse that isn't broken until the last piece, "The Tolliver Toll," the album's only up-tempo tune. The piece is memorable; perhaps the most compelling on the collection. HNH is certainly focused, but perhaps edges a bit toward being constrained in the way of tempos and moods. To have included repertoire with a more wide-ranging sensibility would have made a good album even better.

Jetting a bike is a personel setup thing as much as being right or wrong. I hate a super crisp MX type zing for woods use. It won't pull good a gear high under a load and will spin bad in the proper gear. You have to jet a 125 this way but not a 300.
If the bike is to zingy then try moving the needle clip down at least 1 but maybe 2 clips. Adjust the air screw as needed. I want all rpms to have a TINY sputter at a steady throttle under a load. If it surges it's lean. You should have different needles. Try one with a smaller base diameter. Look up the codes or measure the straight section before the taper with a mic. This will richen up just off of idle to 1/8 throttle mostly. The carb is the most important. Do it before bothering with the PV.
I played with all of the PV springs and settled on red. Yellow or green just took bottom away then when the pipe came on you had a hit. Many will argue this but there was a very good set of dyno runs on KTM Talk that showed the same. The red spring with good jetting was super smooth while the other had a quick surge when the PV opened. Do play with the PV screw. It won't hurt anything and you'll find the sweet spot. Try it all the way out(Maybe 1-1//2 turn past flush) then 3-3 1/2 turns in from there to see the extremes then you'll see what doesn't work.
Be patient and take notes. It is worth the effort to learn. You will love the bike once sorted and will be able to adjust for any weather condition

Prosecutors have recommended two consecutive life sentences, plus five years. Lawyers for the 84-year-old Bulger declined to make a recommendation.
Attorney Hank Brennan said Bulger refused to participate in the sentencing process because he believes his trial was a "sham." During the trial, Bulger used the same word when he explained to the judge why he decided not to testify in his own defense.
Bulger claims that a now-deceased federal prosecutor had given him immunity to commit crimes in exchange for Bulger's offer to protect him from the Mafia. The judge refused to allow Bulger to use that claim as a defense to his long list of crimes, including murders.
Outside court, Bulger attorney J.W. Carney Jr. said despite Bulger's stoic exterior, he was not "immune" to the emotion shown by victims' families.
"He was affected by it," Carney said.
Several family members implored Bulger to face them while they spoke. He refused, but did turn his head slightly to glance at two people. One was Steve Davis, the brother of Debra Davis, the 26-year-old girlfriend of Bulger's former partner, Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi.
A federal jury convicted Bulger in August in a racketeering indictment that included murder, extortion, money-laundering and weapons charges. The jury convicted Bulger in 11 out of the 19 killings he was charged with participating in during the 1970s and '80s but acquitted him of seven killings and issued a "no finding" in Davis' murder.
Flemmi testified that Bulger strangled Davis, but his testimony was contradicted by another Bulger associate who said Flemmi once said he himself had "accidentally" strangled Davis.
"I hope Whitey dies the same way my sister did — gasping for breath as he takes his last breath," said Steve Davis.
Prosecutor Brian Kelly said Bulger has been getting arrested since Harry Truman was president and called him "a little sociopath."
"The carnage that he has caused is grotesque," Kelly said.
"The victims in this case will never be able to regain what he has taken from them, but hopefully they will be able to take some solace from the fact that he will spend the rest of his miserable life in jail," he said.

Stallman on making technology compatible with a free society
Writing in Wired, Richard Stallman -- founder of the Free Software Foundation, which puts the GNU in GNU/Linux -- writes about the relationship between software freedom and a free society. Proprietary software -- opaque to its users, liable to subversion for the purposes of governments and corporations -- is incompatible with a free, democratic society. The temptation to collect data, and, once collect it, to abuse it, is irresistible for the fallible humans who make up the state. Systems have to be designed to keep their users free and private -- there is no way to make people secure unless their tools are secure, too. Stallman sets out the various forms of surveillance and control, from no-fly lists to web-tracking, and proposes ways to make them safe for a free society.

Javier Bardem, Celluloid's Conquistador
Thanks to career-making appearances in Bigas Luna's Jamón, Jamón and Pedro Almodóvar's Live Flesh, along with his 2000 Oscar-nominated performance in Julian Schnabel's Before Night Falls, Javier Bardem's profile has only grown as his parts have become darker and more challenging. Coming up: a role in Steven Soderbergh's Che and a chance to play notorious Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar in the much-awaited Killing Pablo, directed by Joe Carnahan. There's no containing a talent, or spirit, as large as Bardem's—just take a look at Bruce Weber's pictures.

interesting statement.......any idea what the heck he meant?.....or why he said that?
Oh well ofcourse then you should
what is a psychology mind? also why are you seeing a psychologist?
she may have worded it differently than what you said - because psychology is a study - she was not saying that you had a psychology mind
she may have worded it differently - so if its bad grammar as you stated then she must have bad grammar also - but she did word it differently than how you put it
yeah thats me lol - and its psychology - not psycology - dont get mad at me now
Dont you wanna be my psychologist? <3 i need very much:(
if you are good at something that is useless now, how would being great at it make any difference?
If you can go through all the schooling and deal with all the situations and people you'll have to deal with. Sure.

You would need degrees to be taken seriously in the field.
That's a pretty lofty goal. I hope it works out for you, if that's what you want.

KAUFMAN, Texas (AP) — In a story April 14 about the investigation into the deaths of a Texas prosecutor and his wife, The Associated Press reported erroneously that the slayings occurred March 28. The bodies of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, were found March 30.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Man jailed as slain DA investigation continues
Former justice of peace prosecuted by slain Texas DA remains jailed as investigation continues
KAUFMAN, Texas (AP) — Authorities investigating the deaths of a North Texas district attorney and his wife appear to have narrowed their focus on a former justice of the peace prosecuted last year by the official for theft.
Eric Lyle Williams, 46, was arrested Saturday on a charge of making a terroristic threat and is being held in the Kaufman County Jail on $3 million bond. His arrest came after federal and local agents investigating the March deaths of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, searched Williams' home on Friday.
Authorities have said little about their investigation into the McClellands' deaths and have not named any suspects. Previous possible culprits mentioned included a white supremacist prison gang known as the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas, which had been targeted by a task force that included McLelland's office.
Two others have been arrested for making terroristic threats during the investigation into the slayings, but authorities said they had no connection to the deaths.
Kaufman County sheriff's office spokesman Justin Lewis declined to discuss the weekend developments. "Mr. Williams has not been charged with murder," Lewis said Sunday in an email.
A spokeswoman for the FBI would not comment Sunday on the ongoing investigation, and Williams' attorney did not return a phone message.
The McClellands were killed about two months after one of McLelland's prosecutors, Mark Hasse, was slain outside the local courthouse. McLelland and Hasse both participated in last year's prosecution of Williams on charges that he stole three computer monitors from an office building.
Williams has said he submitted to gunshot residue tests and turned over his cellphone after both McLelland and Hasse were found dead. Williams' attorney, David Sergi, said in a statement Friday that Williams "has cooperated with law enforcement and vigorously denies any and all allegations."
Both prosecutors gave closing arguments before a jury convicted Williams in April. They questioned his character and suggested he was prone to threatening others. An ex-girlfriend testified before he was sentenced that he had shown her a gun and frightened her enough to call the police.

Hello Gang!
We just had a new Hooters open up in my town. My uncle took my dad and me out to lunch there today. Most of you may know that I am legally blind. I have some sight but not too much of it. Raising up that little factoid may bring up the question "What's the benefit of going to Hooters if you're blind?" Well I am here to answer just that.
First of all the atmosphere is awesome, even at lunch on a Friday afternoon. There's a great variety of pop music from the past 50 years being played (although my dad and Uncle wished the volume was a little lower). There were plenty of Flat Screen TV's of adequete size around so you won't miss anything if you go during the Big Game. It's almost like a beach house with all the palm trees and decorative lighting around the place.
Now I really can't see the main attraction, if you will but I sure liked the wait staff. It was really busy there but the staff never missed a beat and was highly enthusiastic. Usually at a restaurant the person taking yoru order is formal and stands while taking your order. The nice girl that took ours actually got into the booth and sat down with us. She was very polite and very friendly. In fact she stopped by several times to tell us what was going on and told us about upcoming events at that particular location.
Several times during the meal my dad described to me that there was a lot of fun going on. A few times one of the girls stood up on the bar and danced with a hula hoop. I couldn't see that but the crowd seemed to enjoy it very much. Also there was a Birthday in the House and it was a big deal with a rowdy song while everyone cheered and turned over to look. I am not really certain what all happened but there were balloons involved. I was told that none of the Hooters is franchised and maybe this is what happens at every location. If so can I have a description (as long as it is decent enough to post here).
The food...ahh yes! Very good stuff. We all had a Melted Grilled chicken sandwich. The "Sammy" consisted of grilled chicken, green peppers, onions, and mushrooms beneth a layer of melted provolone cheese! MMmmm! It was delicious!
I give the place a 5 our of 5. I may not be able to really see what makes Hooters so attractive to most people, I still love it. I love the atmosphere and it is a very fun place to eat and have a good time. I sure did and I didn't have to see what everyone else goes there for!

Agoura Hills strikes a deal with T.O. chamber
After years of strained relations between the city of Agoura Hills and an Agoura Hills-based chamber of commerce, the city has hired a Thousand Oaks-based chamber of commerce to provide services in support of the city's business community.
Beginning Jan. 1, the agreement calls for the city to pay $45,000 to the Thousand Oaks-Westlake Village Regional Chamber of Commerce to provide the services. The money will come from the city's general fund.
"This establishes an official agreement that allows us to leverage their staff and expertise," Agoura Hills City Manager Greg Ramirez said in an interview.
Ramirez said the services provided under the 18-month contract will include help in creating the city's economic development brochure, full administration of the city's Buy Local program, staffing the city's Business Task Force and conducting an annual retail business census.
"The chamber has access to, and can accumulate information and data about, the local employment base and business community that the city would normally not be able to collect and utilize due to limited staff," according to a written report by city staff members.
At least 10 years have passed since the city last contracted with the locally based Agoura Hills-Oak Park-Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce, according to leaders of both organizations.
"We have tried to establish a relationship with that chamber over the years, to no avail," Ramirez said. "It's the city's intention to move forward and work for businesses, not against them."
City government leaders have not seemed very interested in supporting the local chamber, said its CEO, Alex Soteras.
"They have a terrible reputation with the business community," Soteras said in an interview. "Unfortunately, it has never been a high priority with them."
Years ago, the city paid to have municipal news and announcements printed in the chamber's newspaper, but city officials turned down the chamber's requests to extend the arrangement.
Ramirez said many Agoura Hills businesses are associated with the locally based chamber, and businesses are free to join any chamber they wish, he added.
In January, the Thousand Oaks-Westlake Village Regional Chamber of Commerce will add Agoura Hills attorney Greg Kaapuni to its board of directors, said Jill Lederer, president and CEO of the chamber.
"We're hoping to add more board members from Agoura Hills, and I'm sure we will," Lederer said.
She said her organization is noteworthy for its programs, its staff and its national accreditation by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
"We have a deep set of programs and consider ourselves stand-alone," Lederer said, adding that the organization has nine professional staff members, numerous committees and multi-level campaigns in support of Buy Local programs. Those include plans for television exposure and a discount card agreement with local school districts.
The city's Economic Development Committee, consisting of Mayor William Koehler and City Councilman Jon Edelston, recommended the agreement with the chamber.
"I was very impressed by the professionalism of their staff," Koehler said this month as the City Council voted 5-0 to approve the deal.
"This will be a backfill of badly needed time that has taken our staff away from other duties."

International Imbalance of Power
It took just about a week to reach the knockout stage of the Women's World Cup, a page-turning novella compared to the epic and overwrought men's equivalent. And the first round, which saw the U.S., China, Norway, Germany, and Brazil all advance, only confirmed the qualities of these top teams while exposing the limitations of those at the bottom of the fútbol food chain.
1999 Women's World Cup Organizing Committee head honcho Marla Messing, FIFA president Sepp Blatter, and the highlight orchestrators at ESPN all desperate to avoid the dreaded 0-0 draw at all costs must have been relishing the seven goals the U.S. put past Nigeria on Thursday, or the other seven Brazil unloaded against hapless Mexico on opening day. But what does it say about the balance of a world cup tournament when four of the quarterfinalists (Brazil, U.S., China, Norway) recorded wins by scoring seven goals and two others (Germany, Russia) put up scores of 6-0 and 5-0?
On the receiving end of this barrage, Mexico, Canada, Japan, and Ghana all finished the tournament having conceded 10 goals or more. For its part, Mexico managed to give up 15, which takes some doing in only three games, while the loopy Nigerians made it to the next round with a goal differential of -3.
Goals, as we have been told, are what make soccer exciting. So the more the better, right? Wrong. As Germany and Brazil demonstrated on Sunday, a close, tightly fought match in this case, a 3-3 draw offers far more excitement than witnessing Norway demolish Canada. So far, watching the U.S. and China play the game has been a joy because both sides have the technique and skill to make soccer come alive, but as a whole, the Women's World Cup needs more tension, not more goals, to succeed as a spectator event.
Luckily, we still have the Nigerians. Even when they don't score, you can't accuse them of being dull. Last Thursday, apparently unconvinced it could win by conventional methods, the Nigerian team decided to beat the crap out of the U.S., and subjected star striker Mia Hamm to a pummeling not seen in international soccer since Italy's Claudio Gentile schooled a young Diego Maradona in the subtle arts of the game back in the 1982 World Cup Finals.
That Nigeria has recovered from the U.S. debacle and made the quarterfinal should make their opponent, Brazil, decidedly uneasy. Brazil has been tipped as the dark horse in this World Cup but could well be thrown off theirgame by Nigeria, especially if the Super Falcons put as much effort into kicking the ball as they do opposing players. Brazil has the talent to make the semis, but they'll be hoping striker Sissi doesn't live up to her name.
Perhaps, though, the greatest quarterfinal upset could come on Wednesday night when China plays Russia. China, motivated by attacker Sun Wen, is expected to go far, but Russia, having notched two wins in the first round, including an impressive 5-0 rout of Japan, has the passing ability and power to worry China. A win would take Russia to a probable semifinal clash with Norway. That might be one to make even the Nigerians squeamish.

LLVMpipe: OpenGL With Gallium3D on Your CPU
The software rasterizer used in Mesa that allows for software acceleration of OpenGL on the CPU without any assistance from the graphics processor has largely been useless. Even with a modern-day, multi-core processor, the performance of Mesa's software rasterizer has been abysmal. The performance of Mesa classic DRI drivers have traditionally been poor anyways compared to the high-performance, proprietary NVIDIA/ATI graphics drivers, but when dealing with just the software rasterizer there really aren't any games or applications that run well. Fortunately, software acceleration on Gallium3D is very much a different story thanks to LLVM.

The Real Need For Nouveau Power Management
We have already published a look at the Fedora 13 Beta, delivered ATI Radeon benchmarks atop Fedora 13 Beta, and have other articles on the way covering this new Fedora release, while in this article we are investigating Nouveau's power performance using this newest Fedora release. If you are a mobile user planning to use the Nouveau stack right now, or you care the least bit about energy savings with your desktop, its power consumption alone may rule this open-source driver out as even a current possibility.

Taking A Hit With ATI Graphics In Fedora 13 Beta
With the release of Fedora 13 Beta earlier this week we have been testing out this Red Hat update on a few of our test systems. One area of interest to us has been to see how the open-source graphics are performing with Fedora 13, since after all Red Hat is known to always ship the very latest DRM/Mesa/DDX bits in Fedora due to all of their upstream involvement and this week is also the Fedora 13 Graphics Test Week. We already looked at the direction of Intel graphics with Fedora 13, so our next target was testing out the open-source ATI graphics with this Linux desktop release that is codenamed Goddard. In this article, we have ATI R500 tests using their open-source driver stack as we test out the OpenGL performance and the power consumption, compared to Fedora 12.

ATI's Gallium3D Driver Is Still Playing Catch-Up
Yesterday we delivered benchmarks showing how the open-source ATI Radeon graphics driver stack in Ubuntu 10.04 is comparing to older releases of the proprietary ATI Catalyst Linux driver. Sadly, the latest open-source ATI driver still is no match even for a two or four-year-old proprietary driver from ATI/AMD, but that is with the classic Mesa DRI driver. To yesterday's results we have now added in our results from ATI's Gallium3D (R300g) driver using a Mesa 7.9-devel Git snapshot from yesterday to see how this runs against the older Catalyst drivers.

R500 Mesa Is Still No Match To An Old Catalyst Driver
We are in the process of conducting a set of tests looking at how the performance of Ubuntu Linux has evolved through their Long-Term Support (LTS) releases beginning with their first 6.06 "Dapper Drake" version followed by Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron", and then the Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" release that will be released by month's end. These benchmarks will look at how the performance of Ubuntu Linux has changed over the past four years, but first we deviated from our original plans to get a look at how the current open-source ATI R500 graphics driver in Ubuntu 10.04 provided by the Mesa stack performs against older proprietary ATI Catalyst drivers.

Catalyst vs. Mesa Performance With Ubuntu 10.04
Over the past two weeks, we have published a variety of articles looking at different aspects of the open-source Linux graphics stack. These articles range from comparing the Gallium3D and classic Mesa performance to comparing the kernel mode-setting and user-space mode-setting performance. Today we are continuing with this interesting Linux graphics coverage by publishing benchmarks comparing the performance of the Radeon Mesa DRI graphics driver to AMD's Catalyst 10.4 proprietary driver. Is the open-source driver finally catching up to AMD's highly optimized driver? Continue reading to find out.

NVIDIA Drops Their Open-Source Driver, Refers Users To VESA
NVIDIA's open-source Linux efforts as it concerns their GPU support have historically been minimal. The xf86-video-nv driver has been around that provides very basic 2D acceleration and a crippled set of features besides that (no proper RandR 1.2/1.3, KMS, power management, etc) while the code has also been obfuscated to try to protect their intellectual property. However, NVIDIA has decided to deprecate this open-source driver of theirs. No, NVIDIA is not working on a new driver. No, NVIDIA is not going to support the Nouveau project. Instead, NVIDIA now just recommends its users use the X.Org VESA driver to get to NVIDIA.com when installing Linux so they can install their proprietary driver.

Intel KMS vs. UMS With Ubuntu 10.04
Last week we published benchmarks looking at the ATI Radeon KMS vs. UMS performance and found the user-space mode-setting support with the ATI driver (that is also limited to using DRI1 with these older code-paths) to perform significantly faster than the newer kernel mode-setting routes in most instances. To see how the performance difference is on the Intel side between the kernel mode-setting and user-space mode-setting implementations we ran a set of benchmarks on this side as well using Ubuntu 10.04.

Benchmarking Recent Mesa 3D Releases
With Mesa 7.8 arriving this month, we took the time to benchmark a few recent releases of the Mesa 3D stack with the Radeon DRI driver to see how the OpenGL performance has changed -- if at all -- over the past few months. In this article are our R500 Mesa benchmarks from the Mesa 7.6, 7.7, 7.8-rc1, and 7.9-devel releases.

Testing AMD's New FirePro Linux Driver
Earlier this month AMD rolled out a new workstation graphics card driver, which is effectively the same Catalyst driver used by the consumer-oriented Radeon graphics cards but with greater testing and certification for the ATI workstation offerings. The press release announcing this new driver was titled "Application Performance Increases By Up To 20 Percent with Latest ATI FirePro Graphics Driver," so we decided to see if this proprietary driver really lives up to its claims under Linux.

Fabulous Adventures In Coding
Eric Lippert is a principal developer on the C# compiler team. Learn more about Eric.
I learn something new about C# every day. This is a subtle and tricky language.
Pop quiz: foo is of a type which has a base class which has made a normal, everyday virtual override of System.Object.ToString. There are no additional overrides, hides, etc of ToString anywhere in foo's inheritance hierarchy. No ToString extension methods, etc. Under what circumstances do foo.ToString() and ((object)foo).ToString() produce different results? Remember, it is a virtual function, so the cast should not make a difference in what function is actually called.
As it turns out, my mistaken belief that the two of these have the same semantics caused a bug in the part of the compiler where we translate an expression tree lambda into a call to the Lambda<T> factory. That in turn was masking an even more subtle bug in the dynamic expression tree compiler.
Anyone out there have a guess as to what type and value of foo produces different behaviour here? I'll post the answer next time along with some discussion of the codegen issue.
How about if foo is a Random?
Or if ToString() returns the ToString() of the current system time?
A hide does not qualify as an override does it?
public class A {
public override string ToString() {
return "A";
public class B : A {
public new string ToString() {
return "B";
Hmm I've been thinking along the same lines as Ajai i.e. if you hide the override then the il is different, so this code:
compiles to:
IL_0007: ldloc.0
IL_0008: callvirt instance string [foo]foo::ToString()
IL_000d: call void [mscorlib]System.Console::WriteLine(string)
IL_0013: ldloc.0
IL_0014: callvirt instance string [mscorlib]System.Object::ToString()
IL_0019: call void [mscorlib]System.Console::WriteLine(string)
Which if you recompile foo changing the new to an override leaves the caller being subtly incorrect, but I can't help thinking this isn't the right answer.
I'll keep thinking on this tomorrow while I try and get rid of a nasty NC_ACTIVATE flicker in a VB6 program that marketing has decided to refresh.
Can one determine the pointer to value types (stack location) and reference types (heap location)? If so, boxing would change the pointer...
ToString() does some reflection and prints the class name?
There are no additional overrides or hides, sorry, I should have been more clear.
Not sure this is what you mean, but it certainly exhibits the behavior you're descxribing:
public interface IProblem
string ToString();
public class MyBase
public override string ToString()
return "This is the Base class";
public class MyDerived : MyBase, IProblem
#region IProblem Members
public string ToString()
return "Implementing this here interface";
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
MyDerived foo = new MyDerived();
string s = foo.ToString();
string s2 = ((object)foo).ToString();
Calling foo.ToString() calls the version defined in the IProblem interface. Casting to object clls the version defined in MyBase, because the interface does not override the ToString() method, but rather defines a new ToStrng() that is part of the MyDerived class, and part of the IProblem interface.
ValueType overrides ToString(). ToString() on nullable types is lifted to the inner type. ToString() on a null value of a nullable type results in an empty string; but a cast to 'object' results in a null reference, this being a change implemented in the CLR released with VS2005 Beta 2. Calling a virtual method on a null reference (or indeed, any method with callvirt) results in a null reference exception. Example code:
using System;
enum Foo
class App
static void Main()
Foo? x = null;
Console.WriteLine(((object) x).ToString());
delegate void Code();
static void Catch(Code code)
catch (Exception ex)
Console.WriteLine("Caught: {0}: {1}", ex.GetType().Name, ex.Message);
The code above uses an enum, but it can be rewritten with user-defined value type to eliminate all other overrides of ToString(), to stay within the original problem spec.
The biggest clue was the conspicuous use of the word 'type' rather than 'class'.
Which version of CLR you use? It seems that in .net 2.0 CLR this can't happen.Maybe you have reintroduced this in CLR 3.5?
The biggest news in the C# community is the official announcement of Silverlight at the MIX conference.
I've not really thought this through (as in tried it in code); but what happens if you define an conversion operator to converting foo to object? You might not even have the same object anymore...
Defining a custom conversion to a base class is definitely odd... and not allowed apparently, so my previous post doesn't hold water.
You canh always redeclare a methods(also virtual ones) with the keyword new, making it "public new string ToString()"
A puzzle in c# not related directly to the puzzle given here but thought it time to sent one the other way :-)
If T is an enumeration would that statement always be true?
Enum.IsDefined(typeof(T), default(T))
Well the answer is no, but when isn't it true?

In a career that spans nearly 50 years and more than 50 albums, the incomparable Buddy Guy recently added the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors and NARM Chairman's Award for Sustained Creative Achievement to his long list of achievements. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and pioneer of the Chicago blues sound, this guitarist and singer is the recipient of more than 30 awards and accolades, including six Grammy Awards, 28 Blues Music Awards (the most received by any artist), the Billboard Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, the Presidential National Medal of Arts, and Rolling Stoneranked him in the top 30 of its "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time."
CAPA presents Buddy Guy with special guest Quinn Sullivan at the Jeanne B. McCoy Community Center for the Arts (100 W. Dublin-Granville Rd., New Albany) on Sunday, October 20, at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $40-$60 at the CAPATicket Center (39 E. State St.), all Ticketmaster outlets, and www.ticketmaster.com. To purchase tickets by phone, please call (614) 469-0939 or (800) 745-3000.
This performance is made possible through the generous support of Corna Kokosing. The 2013-2014 Marquee Season is presented by the Limited Brands Foundation.
Six-time Grammy Award winner and 2012 Kennedy Center Honoree Buddy Guy recently released his new studio album Rhythm & Blues (July, 2013). The follow-up to his 2010 Grammy Award-winning album Living Proof, this double-disc masterpiece features first-time studio collaborations with Kid Rock, Keith Urban, Gary Clark, Jr., Beth Hart, and Aerosmith members Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and Brad Whitford.
Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer/songwriter and longtime collaborator Tom Hambridge (Skin Deep,Living Proof), Rhythm & Blues captures the 76-year-young Guy at the peak of his creativity. Replete with heartfelt vocals, straightforward lyrics, and mesmerizing guitar licks, Rhythm & Blues not only exemplifies how blues continues to be the foundation of all genres of today's music, but it also illustrates why Guy has been influential in the careers of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and more.

I have a hard time getting excited about the new movies. I think I'm content to just enjoy the original trilogy and politely ignore anything new that comes along unless I hear something from sources that I trust that makes me change my mind.
I understand the risks of carrying a firearm and that you must be prepared to use the weapon if needed. But that does not mean that you consciously plan on killing people. In a defensive situation you shoot to stop a threat, killing is a possible outcome, but it should never be your goal.
If 5 seconds ago, someone attacks you and tries to take your weapon
Unfortunately for your argument, even that circumstance is under dispute. By some accounts, the officer tried to quickly open his car door while he was too close to Brown, the door bounced off him and hit the officer, and then the officer shot Brown (the first time) in retaliation for his own stupidity.
I agree the facts are under dispute. I'm merely pointing out the scenario where lethal force is justified.
the only way to deescalate it back to a non-lethal level is complete and unconditional surrender.
(Continuing the same account) after getting shot the first time, Brown ran away (justly fearing for his life), got shot at again, and turned around attempting to surrender. Then the officer continued shooting until he fell over dead.
Again, more facts that are disputed. I don't know that he was fired at when his back was turned, and I don't know that he was actually trying to surrender.
The lesson black Americans are learning from this atrocity is:
If any lesson can be learned by black or white Americans, it should be this. Don't rob stores. If a cop tells you to get out of the road, do it without comment, and certainly don't take a swing at him though the window of his police vehicle. But, if you've done the first three, under no circumstances reach in and try to grab his gun.
None of the shots hit him from behind. All three autopsies agree on this. The rest of that quote is just noise.
8+ shots fired rapidly in two bursts within 10 seconds doesn't not indicate much for either side. In defensive situations, you fire until the threat is stopped. I don't think at any point the cop ever thought "I'm going to kill this kid". I think he reacted to a situation that escalated quickly into a life or death situation much the same as any person would. Maybe he overreached, but maybe he used the exactly the amount of force needed to resolve the situation. I simply don't have enough information to know and I doubt anyone getting their information from media reports does either.
If 5 seconds ago, someone attacks you and tries to take your weapon, yes, the threshold for justification of lethal force is crossed. In fact, once the altercation escalates to the point of struggling for a cop's weapon, the only way to deescalate it back to a non-lethal level is complete and unconditional surrender. The cop has every right to attempt to stop a fleeing attacker even if lethal force is required.
Actually, yeah, if you try to disarm a cop and get wounded doing it, then you try to flee, the cop has the right to use force (including lethal) to effect an arrest.
There are conflicting accounts as to if the guy was trying to surrender, or if he attempted to lunge for the cop a second time. I honestly don't know what was happening. But, I don't think the cop was planning on killing the guy. Possibly his judgment got clouded after the struggle during which his gun discharged twice. Against a much larger/younger/stronger assailant anything short of him falling to the ground spread eagle should be viewed suspiciously.
Then what is the issue with the old record being out there? If Europeans are as eager to forgive and forget past crimes as you suggest, then they won't hold it against someone and no harm is caused.
The point is to determine if each request is covered by the law. The problem is that the requests they get are not individually approved by a court, that would make it too easy. Instead, they HAVE to be the judge of which requests are covered by the law.
Personally, I think this is a BS law. If something is legally present on web, ie. a ten year old news story, then it should be index-able. However, if there a a factual problem, or contains private information, then the site owners should be required to correct it or take it down. The idea of going after the index is ridiculous, not effective and lazy.
The judge and jury.
The better question is who IS suggesting that he made such an offer?
Off the top of my head, I can only imagine a situation where a phone is strongly suspected to contain information relating to a kidnapping, bombing, etc where the information may lead to the rescue of a victim or victims. In other cases they can collect the phone while they wait for a warrant from a judge.
Then how do you justify the statement, "as soon as you take data from public record and make it searchable then it's not public record any more." ?
I don't follow your reasoning. How does anything that becomes a part of the public record stop being public? I can understand correcting the record if there are errors, corrections add to the record. But, I don't see how subtracting data is ever a good thing.
Google takes data and makes it searchable - that's not public record, as soon as you take data from public record and make it searchable then it's not public record any more. That's why Google lost this case, and quite rightly so.
You don't "take" data from the public record, you "share" data from the public record. It doesn't stop being part of the public record just because it gets republished.
As of next Thursday, UNIX will be flushed in favor of TOPS-10. Please update your programs.

Scripps says Denver's Rocky Mountain News is for sale
DENVER — E.W. Scripps Co., the parent company of The Commercial Appeal, says it is putting the Rocky Mountain News up for sale after losing $11 million on the Denver operation in the first nine months of the year.
Cincinnati-based Scripps said in a news release that if no acceptable offers emerge by mid-January, it will "examine its other options." It gave no details.
Scripps has owned the News in Denver since 1926. Since 2001, the newspaper has been in a joint operating agreement with The Denver Post, owned by Denver-based MediaNews Group Inc.
Rich Boehne, president and CEO of Scripps, said the company's 50 percent share of the joint operating agreement cash flow "is no longer enough to support the Rocky, leaving us with no choice but to seek an exit."
Scripps said the joint operating agreement, known as the Denver Newspaper Agency, has about $130 million in long-term debt from a recently completed consolidation of production facilities with new printing presses and other upgraded equipment.
"Some will be tempted to immediately write the obituary of The Rocky, but we're hoping this step will open the way for a creative solution to the financial challenges faced by Denver's great newspapers," Boehne said.
The News was founded in 1859, and Scripps' announcement that the property is for sale came amid a series marking the paper's upcoming 150th anniversary. The News has 232 editorial employees, according to Lee Rose, corporate communications manager with Scripps.
The 2001 joint operating agreement ended a long and heated newspaper war with The Post. The News said its daily circulation reached more than 400,000 in the final years of the battle.
Circulation is currently 210,000 daily and 457,000 on Saturday.
The News publishes Monday through Saturday and The Post publishes Sunday through Friday.
The News joins a crowded marketplace. Cox Enterprises Inc. is trying to sell its newspapers in Texas, North Carolina and Colorado. Landmark Communications Inc. said in January it wanted to sell nine daily newspapers but has found that buyers are having trouble getting loans amid the credit crisis.
"It's a very bad time to sell newspapers, especially those in large cities," industry analyst John Morton said. Advertising revenues have been falling with competition from online classified ad sites like Craigslist and weakness in real estate, the job market and the auto industry.
"There are a lot of newspapers for sale and nobody leaping forward to buy them as of yet," Morton said. "It speaks both to the uncertainty of the future and, of those that have received offers, they were so low the sellers didn't want to accept them."
Scripps operates newspapers in 15 markets and has 10 TV stations. It also operates United Media, which distributes the Peanuts and Dilbert comic strips and 150 other features.

Dumb question: if you're paying a deposit on something and then selling it without
returning/buying it, isn't that stealing?

If Survivor: Redemption Island's returning Castaways, Boston Rob Mariano and Russell Hantz, were archenemies, this season's veterans are brothers in arms.
Fan favorites Ozzy Lusth and Coach Ben Wade were announced today as the final two players rounding out the 18-member cast of Survivor: South Pacific. Ozzy joins the red Savaii tribe, while Coach's Upolo tribemates include Brandon Hantz—nephew of Russell, who engineered Coach's ouster from Heroes vs. Villains.
It is the third appearance for both Castaways. After introducing us to the way of the warrior in Tocantins, a more sensitive Coach was betrayed by his tribe once again on Heroes vs. Villains. Ozzy's second time at the game was even more ignominious: Following his second-place finish in Cook Islands, the game's most agile athlete was blindsided (after leaving his Immunity Idol back at camp) on Micronesia by Black Widow Queen Parvati, the season's champ.
While the announcement should surprise no one who uses Google, the veteran adversaries' strategy may raise a few eyebrows.
Could the Dragon Slayer really resurrect his Warriors Alliance—with his opponent?

Seeing his South Pacific rival returnee was love at first sight for Coach. "So I look across the beach and see Ozzy and I think, Oh man, this is going to be good," he told us before the game in Samoa. "I've characteristically been known for wanting to take the strongest people to the end. So when I see a great competitor on the other side of the fence, it's awesome. He's one of the best challengers ever in Survivor history. It's gonna be great If we both get to the merge—I want to go all the way with him. I'll talk to him and say, 'Man, let's run this game together.' "
He'll have a willing partner. "I think that Coach and I can really help each other in this game," Ozzy told us. "I think if he sees my way, or we see eye to eye, we can make it [past the merge] to play together...we can help each other dramatically."
With last season's Redemption Island twist in play again, the seasoned Castaways—especially challenge dominator Ozzy—might just shed that huge target on their backs.

"I couldn't ask for a better twist," Ozzy told us about Redemption Island, where ousted players are sent to duel for an opportunity to stay in the game. "I can be out there by myself and sort of usher in people, beat them and let them go. I would rather be playing the real game, the classic game of Survivor, [but] it's a chance to have a second chance. This is going to be my third chance having a second chance."
"I think I'll make it to the merge," Coach said confidently (of course). After they were both voted out of Heroes vs. Villains, Coach said tribemate Courtney [Yates] told him, "Why weren't you like this in the game? You never would've got voted off." Coach realizes now, he says, "I've always been like this—a high-intense, focused individual—and when I'm like that I tend to lose sight of what's going on around me. I'm not gonna do that this time."
Ozzy also vows to avoid distractions this season—like his romance with Amanda Kimmel during Micronesia ("making little Ozzlets," Cirie Fields famously snarked). "I don't think having a romance on Survivor, unless you're Rob and Amber, is really possible. It also makes you stupid. That's what happened to me last time: My head was in another place, and I wasn't aware of all the signs that told me that I needed to keep my eye on Parvati...I want to play with my heart, but I should probably be using my head a little more."
Coach isn't worried about what others think. "My life is so happy—I don't have to prove anything to anybody. I don't care if people love me or hate me. I'm out here for myself this time and to have another adventure of a lifetime. Are you going to see a little more of the Dragon Slayer this time? Oh yeah."
Will Coach be introducing us to any other Ben Wade personalities? "Coach and the Dragon Slayer are pretty ingrained in people's minds and I think that trying to 'reinvent' myself at this point would probably be counterproductive," Coach told us. "But I do want the Maestro to come out." The part-time conductor explained: "In an orchestra, you tell people what to do, but it's more blending them together...to lead these people as an orchestra is going to be how I approach the game."
Take it away, Maestro!
Are you Team Ozzy or Team Dragon Slayer Maestro? Are you hoping they'll team up in a new warrior alliance, or would you rather see a newbie win the title of Sole Survivor? Sound off in the comments!

Analysis of neuronal morphology in Golgi-stained mouse brain sections. Wild-type P26 mouse brains were stained using modified Golgi-Cox impregnation (FD NeuroTechnologies). NeuriteQuant is able to extract most features in images of silver-stained neurons that display a clearly defined soma and dendritic arbor (see enlarged region). During sectioning, neurites are often separated from their parent cell, therefore branching was not evaluated.

BURREN AND CLIFFS OF MOHER GEOPARK (Ireland)
The Burren & Cliffs of Moher Geopark is a unique glacio-karst landscape located on Ireland's west coast between the cities of Limerick and Galway, with magnificent Atlantic coastal landforms, unique floral diversity, fascinating archaeology; all set in a landscape managed by traditional farming practices, and amid a thriving culture of Irish music, dance, food and sport.
Conservation, Education & Tourism
The Burren & Cliffs of Moher Geopark is home to an active network of environmental learning centres, accredited-ecotourism businesses, conservation groups, visitor information and interpretation centres, local farm-tours co-operatives, and managed outdoor recreation routes and hubs.
The geological landscape is one of glacially smoothed Carboniferous (300 million years ago) fossil-rich limestone hills; dramatic sea cliffs; seasonal lakes; and vast networks of subterranean caves. This physical landscape hosts rare natural habitats and unique floral assemblages not found anywhere else on Earth; as well as abundant legacies of human settlement dating back over 6000 years. Traditional agricultural practices successfully prevail, enabling the conservation of the unique character and biodiversity of the landscape.
The collaborative efforts of community-based education, ecotourism, and conservation initiatives are an essential part of the sustainable social, environmental, and economic development of this Atlantic-edge region. The Geopark encourages a holistic approach to managing, conserving and promoting the landscape, as each aspect of the environment: geological, ecological, climatic, oceanographic and anthropogenic, is mutually influenced by one another.
The Global Geoparks Network is supported by UNESCO at the request of Member States
