Before he became well known as the writer and illustrator of charming children's books, Dr. Seuss (aka Theodor Seuss Geisel) had another gig: He drew political cartoons. In fact, in the run-up to World War II, Seuss drew some fairly pointed cartoons accusing those who wanted to stay out of the war of being manipulated by the Nazis.
Alas, one stash of these cartoons is being kept firmly out of the public eye, as reporter Bill Sloat reveals in a fine piece in the Cincinnati City Paper: The Cincinnati Art Museum has five of Seuss' political cartoons, all drawn for the left-leaning newspaper PM between 1939 and 1941, but they aren't on exhibit, and the museum has no plans to put them on public display:

Pinot Noir has the potential to be the most seductive, beguiling
red wine in existence. In the past decade or so, however,
Pinot Noir has shown the greatest increase in quality of
any varietal in America. The perseverance of younger winemakers
and traditional winemaking methodology is resulting in Pinots
that can stand side by side with the benchmark wines of
Burgundy. Lighter than Cabernet, Pinots have a richness
and intensity of fruit that is unparalleled. The best of
them drink like velvet and accompany a wide variety of foods.
Top French Burgundies are bottled under different names
and labels, depending on region, vineyard and producer.
In America, considerable success with this Burgundian varietal
has been from the cooler regions of Napa, Sonoma (Carneros), Santa Barbara and Oregon.

Thanks for contacting the Bra Doctor.
We love the Idol bra which will give excellent support, anchorage and a smooth, rounded shape.
If it has been more than 12 months since you were fitted we would recommend visiting one of stockists to be fitted. They will then be able to ensure you are wearing not only the correct size but also style for your bust shape.
Please see here for your nearest Freya stockist.
We do not have a minimiser as such in our collection. However for an excellent all rounder that offers fantastic support - we love the Rio bra.
The medium is equivalent to a UK dress size 12-14 and the large is size 14-16. Depending on how fitted you would like it to be - I think a medium would probably fit you better.
The padding in the Castaway padded halter bikini top is not removable. It is very thin and is designed to prevent transparency and give a smooth rounded shape.
We have been manufacturing the Deco soft cup bra for a number of years now and it has only ever been made up to a G cup.
Please see here our range of soft cup bras available in a GG or H. Alternatively the Deco underwired range is available up to a GG cup.
Sadly the Pollyanna has been discontinued. The most similar in style and fit would be the Enchanted or the Rio.
We love the Rio bra which is extremely supportive with excellent anchorage and a lovely shape. The straps are adjustable.
Different brands will fit slightly different as well as ranges within a brand, this is due to the different styles and fabrics used. To get the best fit for a Freya bra we recommend you visit your local Freya stockist who will be able to fit and advise on the best style to suit your shape. See here for your nearest Freya stockist.
Please see here for one of our online stockists that has the Deco Shape longline strapless bra.
Once you've discovered your size, you need to find the style to suit your shape & flatter your figure. Uncover our hints & tips to help you choose the right bra.
Got a bra related question? Feeling squashed, squeezed or saggy? Ask the bra doctor today to get your diagnosis.

Horrifyingly true, there is now a drinkable rotten cheese on the market. The world's first Blue Stilton milk shake is being sold at Moo Juce in Brighton. The smoothie and milkshake specialists wanted to concoct a unique beverage that would be odd yet delicious.
Food and drinks on the go are a booming, as is dairy... and apparently, that encompasses the blue cheese market. People are also intrigued by the offbeat and bizarre, so really, shocking products like these shouldn't be, well, shocking at all.
There isn't just one standard blue cheese flavor -- believe it or not, there are variations. Taste-bud torturing combinations include peanut butter and blue cheese and heated Jamaican ginger cake to spice up the fermentation factor.
"Through listening to our customers and accommodating modern consumer trends such as the smoothie, we're strengthening Stilton's position as the King of English cheese" said Nigel White of SCMA.
"Creating the Stilton smoothie, or smooth-shake as we like to call it, was no easy task. But through vigorous blending and sampling, Moo juce were able to create not only one but four recipes that have been instant hits."
This sounds down right disgusting to me. Rotten cheese... as a drink. I'll pass, but for those who like Stilton, this could be oddly tasty.

The adventurers now have their own island and port, but they'll need more than one ship to defend it.

Yet when they sail to the attacker's own island to get their revenge, the adventurers discover a traitor—one whose betrayal threatens not only their own fleet, but the very islands of the Shackles themselves.

Thieme represents city during presidential visit
Common Council president, Crowley say Scrima should have attended
The City of Waukesha wasn't represented by its mayor when the General Electric Gas Engines facility welcomed President Barack Obama last week, but it still had representation: Common Council President Terry Thieme.
"I felt that it was important that the City of Waukesha be represented," said Thieme, on his way out of the manufacturing plant on Jan. 30.
Thieme's proactive approach helped him land a seat for the president's visit to Waukesha.
After Thieme, who is also running for the mayor's seat this spring and will be on the ballot during the Feb. 18 primary, found out that Scrima had declined an invitation from the White House earlier in the week, he called Secret Service.
When he was connected to White House staff, he told them that he'd like to represent the city given that he is the Common Council president. It was already Tuesday at this point and Obama was speaking in Waukesha just two days later.
Thieme wasn't given any guarantees, but he received a call from the Waukesha Police Department the night before Obama's speech.
They said 'hey the White House staff has been trying to get a hold of you,'" Thieme said.
Thieme then got in touch with White House staff and was approved.
Scrima said he declined the invite because his position ought to remain "non-partisan" and later said that he has not attended any events hosted by Republicans during his first-term as mayor.
He had also told media outlets that Obama and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker are "extremists." After Obama's speech, Scrima later posted on his campaign Facebook page "I'm more interested in getting my own work done than supporting someone else's political agenda."
Regardless of other local political official's party affiliation, many attended the event, including Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, a Democrat, and Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas, a Republican. Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele was also there, as was Waukesha County Chairman Paul Decker and former Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle.
A couple Waukesha County supervisors were also there, including Michael Crowley.
"We're fortunate for us to have a president of the United States come to Waukesha and put us in the limelight on a national perspective," said Crowley, who was invited by GE President Brian White. "GE's a great company, great employees are here and I was here to support the employees, support the president of the United States and the White House. Any elected official should welcome the president to their community so I was proud to be here to represent our community."
Thieme shared the same sentiments. He also said it was an opportunity — as the city representative — to meet Milwaukee's top officials.
"I met a lot of good connections that we can try to partner with after I'm elected mayor," Thieme said.
"This goes to show you put politics aside, you work together for the common good, good things will happen," Thieme said. "And I think that's very important."

Consumer confidence soars above projections in April
NEW YORK -- Signs that the worst may be over for the economy boosted Americans' moods in April, sending a barometer of sentiment to its highest level since November.
The New York-based Conference Board said Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index rose more than 12 points to 39.2, up from a revised 26.9 in March. The reading marks the highest level since November's 44.7 and well surpasses economists' expectations for 29.5.
The consumer confidence survey showed a substantial improvement in consumers' short-term outlook, including their assessment of the job market.
Encouraging news in areas such as retail sales and housing has helped fuel a recent stock rally. The Dow Jones industrial average slipped 8.05, or 0.1 percent, to 8,016.95 after being down as much as 86 points in the hours ahead of the consumer confidence report.
Improvements in the stock market have helped boost shoppers' moods, said Gary Thayer, chief economist at Wachovia Securities, but major economic problems remain -- and that means that confidence could bounce up and down for a while, he said.
"When people feel better, they increase their spending," said Gary Thayer, chief economist at Wachovia Securities. But while people are spending a little more freely on everyday items, he said, they are "cautious and holding back on expensive items."
Economists closely monitor consumer sentiment because consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of economic activity.
The huge jump in confidence follows a small increase in March, following a freefall in February. Still, the index remains well below year-ago levels of 62.8.
The April gains were fueled by "a significant improvement in the short-term outlook," Lynn Franco, director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center, said in a statement.
She added that the index measuring how shoppers feel now, which posted a moderate gain, offered "a sign that conditions have not deteriorated further and may even moderately improve in the second quarter."
The Present Situation rose slightly to 23.7 from 21.9 last month. The Expectations Index, which measures how shoppers feel about the economy over the next six months, skyrocketed to 49.5 from 30.2 in March.
That sharp increase -- which marked the largest jump since a 13-point gain in November 2005 when the economy was recovering from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita -- suggests that people believe the economy is nearing a bottom, Franco said. Still, she noted that the index remains well below the level associated with strong economic growth.
"It looks like the worst is behind us, but clearly we are not out of the woods," said Franco.
With companies continuing to lay off workers, a major fear is that people will cut back their spending even more, and that could plunge the economy further into a downward spiral. Economists expect the unemployment rate -- now at 8.5 percent and the highest since late 1983 -- will hit 10 percent by the end of the year and keep climbing next year before it starts coming down.
Meanwhile, investors are becoming more unsettled by the possibility of a major swine flu outbreak, which could stall economic recovery -- particularly in regions that depend on travel and tourism. Adam York, an economist at Wachovia Securities, said such a development could dampen confidence levels for May, but it's still early to tell.
The consumer confidence survey showed that those anticipating business conditions will worsen over the next six months declined to 25.3 percent from 37.8 percent, while those expecting conditions to improve increased to 15.6 percent from 9.6 percent in March.
The employment outlook was also considerably less pessimistic. The percentage of consumers anticipating fewer jobs in the months ahead declined to 33.6 percent from 41.6 percent, while those expecting more jobs increased to 13.9 percent from 7.3 percent.

Matthew Alexander: Osama bin Laden Was Not Caught Because of Torture but in Spite of ItRoundup: Talking About History
Matthew Alexander is a twenty year veteran of the Air Force and Air Force Reserves. He supervised or conducted over 1,300 interrogations in Iraq and led the interrogations that located the Al Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who was killed in an airstrike. Alexander's latest book is Kill or Capture: How a Special Operations Task Force Took Down a Notorious Al Qaeda Terrorist. He is currently a Fellow at UCLA's Burkle Center for International Relations.
While some may celebrate the one-year anniversary of the death of Osama bin Laden, perhaps time would be better served evaluating why it came nine years too late. The sad truth is that bin Laden should have been dead twice in the first two years after 9/11.
The first opportunity was missed in the mountains of Tora Bora early in the war in Afghanistan, when former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld insisted that local Afghan forces kill bin Laden rather than allowing our own elite fighters to do so when they had him in their sights. It was also Rumsfeld's decision not to seal off the border with Pakistan, declaring victory too early because of his arrogance (a theme that would be repeated in Iraq), thus allowing bin Laden to escape.
The second opportunity was missed when the Bush administration approved the CIA's waterboarding of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), the mastermind of 9/11 and former al Qaeda operations officer. Jose Rodriguez, the former CIA officer who ran the agency's torture program, now insists in his new book, Hard Measures, that torture led to the identification of an al Qaeda courier and the killing of Osama bin Laden. The truth, however, is that KSM lied to his interrogators and told them that Abu Ahmed, the nom de guerre of bin Laden's courier, had retired when in fact he was still active. That lie cost us almost a decade in the hunt for bin Laden. As al Qaeda's chief of operations, KSM certainly knew that Abu Ahmed could prove to be the key piece to finding the former al Qaeda leader, but he did exactly what professional interrogators have been saying people do when faced with coercion—they lie or give limited and misleading information. In the end, it turned out Abu Ahmed was one of the vital pieces of intelligence that led to bin Laden's demise...

In these stories lives come into focus through single events or sudden memories which bring the past bubbling to the surface. The past, as Alice Munro's characters discover, is made up not only of what is remembered, but also what isn't. The past is there, just out of the picture, but if memories haven't been savoured, recalled in the mind and boxed away, it's as if they have never been - until a moment when the pieces of the jigsaw re-form suddenly, sometimes pleasurably but more often painfully. Women look back at their young selves, at first marriages made when they were naive and trusting, at husbands and their difficult, demanding little ways. There is in this new collection an underlying heartbreak, a sense of regret in her characters for what might have been, for a fork in the road not taken, a memory suppressed in an act of prudent emotional housekeeping. But at the same time there is hope, there are second chances - here are people who reinvent themselves, seize life by the throat, who have moved on and can dare to conjure up the hidden memories, daring to go beyond what is remembered.

Business Management Daily to Celebrate Administrative Professionals Week by Giving Gifts to Admin Readers
Falls Church, Va. — If you're an administrative professional, you're the kind of person everyone's always looking to for help. You're the "go-to" person to solve problems, answer questions and get things done. Your job involves a variety of diverse responsibilities that keep you on your toes at all times. Administrative Professionals Week (April 21-25) is a great opportunity for organizations to recognize their admins for all of this effort they put into keeping operations running smoothly.
"This is a great time to be an admin," says Carolyn Frazier, the editor of Business Management Daily's Administrative Professional Today newsletter. "Administrative professionals make up 16% of the total U.S. employment and are in one of the top 10 growing careers. Congratulations on being a member of one of the best professions ever!"
Business Management Daily will be giving gifts to its admin readers during this special week to commend them for their hard work in the office. These giveaways are career-building resources to help you strengthen essential skills and become more productive at work.
Business Management Daily is offering the following FREE resources during Administrative Professionals Week:
- Monday, April 21: Download the Team Building Toolkit to learn the best strategies for strengthening your admin team, effectively working on group projects and partnering with your boss.
- Tuesday, April 22: Microsoft Certified Trainer Melissa Esquibel will teach you helpful strategies and keyboard shortcuts for a Microsoft Office program that you're probably required to use every day.
- Wednesday, April 23: Download the SOP Manual to help you create a procedures manual for your position. Then when you're on vacation or are taking a few days off of work, a colleague can easily fill in for you—and you won't have to worry that the office is going to fall apart when you're gone.
- Thursday, April 24: Take the How Would You Save the Boss From Disaster? quiz, and you'll also gain access to some helpful resources with tips for handling a variety of situations at work. And you'll even get a special prize for taking the quiz. (Everyone gets one.)

Don't lose ground to invasive, voracious weed
Some people love a good fight. Others have to be fired up. When Private Lands Conservationist Jan Dellamano, with the Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC), thinks about the harm caused to wildlife and livestock by invasive spotted knapweed, he gets fired up.
"The only good thing about the flowering stage of this weed is that it helps in identifying it so we can get rid of it," Dellamano said.
And now is just the right time to look for these offensive blooms. Dellamano says when you find it, there's just one thing to do. Kill it.
"Without control, this weed will impact virtually all landowners in Missouri and interfere with nearly all land types and landscapes," he said.
A single square foot of spotted knapweed can produce 5,000 seeds, which can remain viable for eight years or more. It drains productivity from pastures and fields, degrades wildlife habitats, destroys Missouri's natural communities, and invades golf courses and lawns, according to Dellamano. He said spotted knapweed produces chemicals that inhibit nearby plants, reducing diversity in the area and degrading the wildlife habitat. Wildlife and most livestock find it unpalatable, so as it spreads animals have less food. Runoff, erosion and sedimentation increase, harming streams and aquatic creatures.
Like other invasive species, this plant gets out of hand fast, and Dellamano says he and other conservationists need help locating and killing it.
"It's spreading so fast and furious we need as much help as possible to make a difference," he said.
The first line of defense is identification. Look for spindly weeds that look like chicory or wild lettuce, but with pink flowers. Dellamano said spotted knapweed flowers look just like miniature thistle flowers. He said because the seeds can spread through flowing water and through the movement of hay and gravel in addition to its natural disbursement, it's found almost everywhere, but especially along major roadways.
Once you've identified this invasive weed, Dellamano says the most important defense is offense.
MDC has partnered with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) to aggressively attack the issue of spotted knapweed by spraying herbicides along major highways. Travelers are urged to assist by reporting sightings of this weed. Issues with knapweed along Route 67 and I-55 have been documented and do not need to be reported.
If landowners notice these invasive weeds adjacent to their property, they are encouraged to contact MoDOT for guidelines about spraying along state right-or-way. If the invasive weeds are already migrating onto adjoining property, landowners are asked to spray the area using the recommended herbicides while following the manufacturer's label for mixing and application.
"The best control is to spray in the fall and early spring while the plants are in the rosette stage, a small cluster of leaves hugging the ground around the main stem," Dellamano said.
He added that Milestone, Perspective and Streamline are all effective herbicides to kill spotted knapweed. They have a residual effect, which means they will kill new seedlings of knapweed as they germinate for six months to possibly up to two years. He said 24-D is also effective and economical if applied early to the rosettes, but it does not have a residual effect.
If you're worried about other plants, Dellamano explained these herbicides kill only broadleaved plants without harming grass.
"Some may think this is just a weed that can be ignored," Dellamano said. "But once it's out of control, it becomes costly and that's not as easily ignored."
For more information on invasive spotted knapweed, go online to mdc.mo.gov or call the MDC's Southeast Regional Office at (573) 290-5730. The MDC website features an identification guide that is easily found by typing in "Spotted Knapweed" in the site's search engine. For guidelines to spray along state right-of-way, please contact MoDOT Roadside Manager Mark Aufdenberg at (573) 380-4579 or go online to www.modot.org/southeast.

Network Management at Cloud Expo
In today's technology-dependent enterprise environment, the efficiency of
most business processes depends directly on the effective performance of the
IT infrastructure. Almost every single activity - from servicing a customer
to shipping purchased products - is dependent upon one or more software
applications and the underlying computing/network infrastructure.
This demand is already stretching traditional network management tools to the
limit, given the universal adoption of multi-tier applications, distributed
computing and web technologies in the last decade. The advent of cloud
computing, the latest evolution in IT, creates a new set of challenges that
require innovative tools to help businesses leverage the cost and efficiency
benefits of cloud computing, while mitigating the risks.

Richland County
Montana, USA
Feb. 23, 2011
Richland County
Montana, USA
David Anthony Balducke Sr. "Tony", was born on December 16, 1944 to Frank and Leona (Holst) Balducke. He was the youngest of nine children. Tony was raised on the family ranch southwest of Sidney, which was purchased in 1964, when he and his brother Ben purchased the river place in 1971 where he resided to this day. On November 7, 1970 he married his true love and lifelong partner Kay Miller at 1st Lutheran Church in Savage. To this marriage three children were born: Tammy, Brenda and David. Tony was a loving husband, father, brother, grandpa, uncle and respected cattleman.
Tony's passion was farming and ranching side by side with his brother Ben and his son David. He lived each day to its fullest and was a very skilled worker whatever the task at hand may be. He always said when he went on a vacation that it felt more like a vacation when he got home; that is how much he loved what he did. He was an honest man that treated everyone with respect and was liked by many.
Tony died on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 surrounded by his family at the Billings Clinic.
Tony is survived by: his wife, Kay Balducke; two daughters, Tammy (Joey) Steinbeisser and Brenda Balducke; a son, David (Kayla) Balducke, all of Sidney, MT; grandchildren, Kendra Balducke, Chayna Basta, Krissa Jones, Brenley Steinbeisser, Landan Jones, Amiya Steinbeisser, and one on the way, all of Sidney; two brothers, Billy Balducke and Ben Balducke, both of Sidney, MT; five sisters; Myrtle Brown, Lois McRae, Francie Mackin, all of Miles City, MT, Louise (Bud) Rehbein and Mary (Leon) Thrams, of Sidney, MT.

Tony will be missed dearly by many.

That's one way to keep warm! 'Engaged' Kelly Rowland hides her face in a scarf but still happily signs autographs for fans
Understandably, she's probably giddy with delight over her rumoured 'engagement' to her longtime boyfriend and manager Tim Witherspoon.
So that may explain why Kelly Rowland appeared to be a little lost and perhaps even confused about whether she wanted to go incognito or hang out with her fans on Sunday as she arrived at the airport in Washinton D.C.
The 32-year-old singer joyfully threw up a peace sign from behind her mustard coloured mask as she prepared to depart the country's capital city where she had performed a concert the previous night.
Peace! Kelly Rowland was rugged up with a scarf around her face as she made her way through the airport in Washington D.C. on Sunday, where she threw up the peace sign and signed autographs
Kelly was very well prepared for the
cooler temperatures inflicted by unnecessary air conditioning on planes,
rugging herself up in a cosy purple spotted sweatshirt over black
skinny jeans.
Black Nike kicks were on the agenda
for the fitness-loving songstress, who is spending a lot of time lately
collaborating with fitness guru Jeanette Jenkins of late.
The former Destiny's Child star threw on a chic leather jacket with snug fluffy lining for extra warmth, and added a mustard coloured scarf for good measure.
You can't see me! In the course of throwing up a backwards peace sign, the 32-year-old singer showed off her sweet new nail design
Lucky guy! Kelly stopped to sign an autograph for an excited fan at the airport
As she arrived at the landing place,
something must have told her it was a good idea to cover up the bottom
half of her face with that scarf and shield the other half with
But in spite of her efforts to hide
herself, it seems that the friendly singer simply could not help herself
as she wound up greeting her adoring fans anyway.
She threw up an enthusiastic peace sign as she made her way down the elevator, and even stopped to sign autographs for her happy fans who were elated to have met the star at the airport.
Not a Single Lady anymore! Kelly flashed the diamond ring which is reported to have been given to her by her 'fiance' Tim Witherspoon
Things have been rather exciting for Kelly, with her reported engagement going public only last week.
The lucky man is Kelly's long time
love and manager Tim Witherspoon, and the pair are said to have been
dating on and off for four years.
Tim popped the big question to the 33-year-old X Factor USA judge sometime last week, according to celebrity website Bossip.com.
The accidental reveal happened in an
Instagram video, in which Kelly is seen waving to the camera, and
inadvertently revealing the ring on her wedding finger as she wishes a
friend a happy birthday.
Earlier this month there were reports the pair had got matching tattoos on their wedding fingers, which sparked speculation they were planning to marry, and that very tattoo was seen on Tuesday.
Stand by me: A burly man stood in front of the former Destiny's Child star

AMD claims 83% VR market share, shows VR on Polaris
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 14, 2016 - 07:00 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: VR, radeon pro duo, radeon, capsaicin, amd
As part of AMD's Capsaicin event in San Francisco today, the company is making some bold statements around its strategy for VR, including massive market share dominance, new readiness programs and the future of VR with the Polaris architecture due out this year.
The most surprising statement made by AMD at the event was the claim that "AMD is powering the overwhelming majority of home entertainment VR systems around the world, with an estimated 83 percent market share." This is obviously not based on discrete GPU sales in the PC market alone, but instead includes the sales of the PlayStation 4 game console, for which Sony will launch its own PlayStation VR headset later this year. (Side note, does JPR not include the array of Samsung phones to be "home entertainment VR" systems?)
There is no denying that Sony's install base with the PS4 has put AMD in the driver seat when it comes to global gaming GPU distribution, but as of today this advantage has not amounted to anything noticeable in the PC space – a stance that AMD was selling hard before the consoles' launch. I am hesitant to put any weight behind AMD's PS4 integration for VR moving forward, so the company will have to prove that this is in fact an advantage for the chip maker going into 2016.
AMD is talking up other partnerships as well, including those with HTC and Oculus for their respective headset launches, due in the next 30 days. Beyond that, AMD hardware is being used in the just announced Sulon Q wireless VR headset and has deals in place with various healthcare, media and educational outlets to seed development hardware.
For system vendors and add-in card builders, AMD is launching a certification program that will create labels of "Radeon™ VR Ready Premium" and "Radeon™ VR Ready Creator". The former will be assigned to graphics cards at Radeon R9 290 performance and above to indicate they are capable of meeting the specifications required by Oculus and HTC for their VR headsets; the latter is going to be assigned only to the Radeon Pro Duo dual-Fiji graphics card, meant to target developers that need maximum performance.
Finally, AMD is showing that its next generation graphics architecture, Polaris, is capable of VR as well.
AMD today demonstrated for the first time ever the company's forthcoming Polaris 10 GPU running Valve's Aperture Science Robot Repair demo powered by the HTC Vive Pre. The sample GPU features the recently announced Polaris GPU architecture designed for 14nm FinFET, optimized for DirectX® 12 and VR, and boasts significant architectural improvements over previous AMD architectures including HDR monitor support, industry-leading performance-per-watt 2, and AMD's 4th generation Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture.
We are still waiting to see if this is the same silicon that AMD showed at CES, a mainstream part, or if we might be witnessing the first demo of a higher end part, wetting the appetite of the enthusiast community.
AMD Named Exclusive GPU Provider for Crytek VR First
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 14, 2016 - 07:00 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: crytek, CRYENGINE, amd
AMD will be the sole GPU presence in the labs at universities participating in Crytek's VR First initiative, which "provides colleges and universities a ready-made VR solution for developers, students and researchers", according to AMD.
AMD is leveraging the newly-announced Radeon Pro Duo graphics cards for this partnership, which lends immediate credibility to their positioning of the new GPU for VR development.
"The new labs will be equipped with AMD Radeon™ Pro Duo graphics cards with LiquidVR™ SDK, the world's fastest VR content creator platform bridging content creation and consumption and offering an astonishing 16 teraflops of compute power. Designed to be compatible with multiple head mounted displays, including the Oculus Rift™ and HTC Vive™, AMD Radeon™ Pro Duo cards will encourage grassroots VR development around the world. The initial VR First Lab at Bahçeşehir University in Istanbul is already up and running in January of this year."
Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli explains VR First:
"VR First labs will become key incubators for nurturing new talent in VR development and creating a global community well-prepared to innovate in this exciting and emerging field. VR experiences, harnessing the power of the CRYENGINE and developed using world-class Radeon™ hardware and software, will have the potential to fundamentally transform how we interact with technology."
This certainly appears to be an early win for AMD in VR development, at least in the higher education sector.

Rumor: NVIDIA's Next GPU Called GTX 1080, Uses GDDR5X
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 11, 2016 - 05:03 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: rumor, report, pascal, nvidia, HBM2, gtx1080, GTX 1080, gtx, GP104, geforce, gddr5x
We are expecting news of the next NVIDIA graphics card this spring, and as usual whenever an announcement is imminent we have started seeing some rumors about the next GeForce card.
(Image credit: NVIDIA)
Pascal is the name we've all being hearing about, and along with this next-gen core we've been expecting HBM2 (second-gen High Bandwidth Memory). This makes today's rumor all the more interesting, as VideoCardz is reporting (via BenchLife) that a card called either the GTX 1080 or GTX 1800 will be announced, using the GP104 GPU core with 8GB of GDDR5X - and not HBM2.
The report also claims that NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang will have an announcement for Pascal in April, which leads us to believe a shipping product based on Pascal is finally in the works. Taking in all of the information from the BenchLife report, VideoCardz has created this list to summarize the rumors (taken directly from the source link):
- Pascal launch in April
- GTX 1080/1800 launch in May 27th
- GTX 1080/1800 has GP104 Pascal GPU
- GTX 1080/1800 has 8GB GDDR5X memory
- GTX 1080/1800 has one 8pin power connector
- GTX 1080/1800 has 1x DVI, 1x HDMI, 2x DisplayPort
- First Pascal board with HBM would be GP100 (Big Pascal)
Rumored GTX 1080 Specs (Credit: VideoCardz)
The alleged single 8-pin power connector with this GTX 1080 would place the power limit at 225W, though it could very well require less power. The GTX 980 is only a 165W part, with the GTX 980 Ti rated at 250W.
As always, only time will tell how accurate these rumors are; though VideoCardz points out "BenchLife stories are usually correct", though they are skeptical of the report based on the name GTX 1080 (though this would follow the current naming scheme of GeForce cards).
AMD Announces XConnect Technology for External Graphics
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 10, 2016 - 01:27 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: XConnect, thunderbolt 3, radeon, graphics card, gpu, gaming laptop, external gpu, amd
AMD has announced their new external GPU technology called XConnect, which leverages support from the latest Radeon driver to support AMD graphics over Thunderbolt 3.
The technology showcased by AMD is powered by Razer, who partnered with AMD to come up with an expandable solution that supports up to 375W GPUs, including R9 Fury, R9 Nano, and all R9 300 series GPUs up to the R9 390X (there is no liquid cooling support, and the R9 Fury X isn't listed as being compatible). The notebook in AMD's marketing material is the Razer Blade Stealth, which offers the Razer Core external GPU enclosure as an optional accessory. (More information about these products from Razer here.) XConnect is not tied to any vendor, however; this is "generic driver" support for GPUs over Thunderbolt 3.
AMD has posted this video with the head of Global Technical Marketing, Robert Hallock, to explain the new tech and show off the Razer hardware:
The exciting part has to be the promise of an industry standard for external graphics, something many have hoped for. Not everyone will produce a product exactly like Razer has, since there is no requirement to provide a future upgrade path in a larger enclosure like this, but the important thing is that Thunderbolt 3 support is built in to the newest Radeon Crimson drivers.
Here are the system requirements for AMD XConnect from AMD:
- Radeon Software 16.2.2 driver (or later)
- 1x Thunderbolt 3 port
- 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 cable
- Windows 10 build 10586 (or later)
- BIOS support for external graphics over Thunderbolt 3 (check with system vendor for details)
- Certified Thunderbolt 3 graphics enclosure configured with supported Radeon R9 Series GPU
- Thunderbolt firmware (NVM) v.16
The announcement introduces all sorts of possibilities. How awesome would it be to see a tiny solution with an R9 Nano powered by, say, an SFX power supply? Or what about a dual-GPU enclosure (possibly requiring 2 Thunderbolt 3 connections?), or an enclosure supporting liquid cooling (and the R9 Fury X)? The potential is certainly there, and with a standard in place we could see some really interesting products in the near future (or even DIY solutions). It's a promising time for mobile gaming!
A start to proper testing
During all the commotion last week surrounding the release of a new Ashes of the Singularity DX12 benchmark, Microsoft's launching of the Gears of War Ultimate Edition on the Windows Store and the company's supposed desire to merge Xbox and PC gaming, a constant source of insight for me was one Andrew Lauritzen. Andrew is a graphics guru at Intel and has extensive knowledge of DirectX, rendering, engines, etc. and has always been willing to teach and educate me on areas that crop up. The entire DirectX 12 and Unified Windows Platform was definitely one such instance.
Yesterday morning Andrew pointed me to a GitHub release for a tool called PresentMon, a small sample of code written by a colleague of Andrew's that might be the beginnings of being able to properly monitor performance of DX12 games and even UWP games.
The idea is simple and it's implementation even more simple: PresentMon monitors the Windows event tracing stack for present commands and records data about them to a CSV file. Anyone familiar with the kind of ETW data you can gather will appreciate that PresentMon culls out nearly all of the headache of data gathering by simplifying the results into application name/ID, Present call deltas and a bit more.
Gears of War Ultimate Edition - the debated UWP version
The "Present" method in Windows is what produces a frame and shows it to the user. PresentMon looks at the Windows events running through the system, takes note of when those present commands are received by the OS for any given application, and records the time between them. Because this tool runs at the OS level, it can capture Present data from all kinds of APIs including DX12, DX11, OpenGL, Vulkan and more. It does have limitations though - it is read only so producing an overlay on the game/application being tested isn't possible today. (Or maybe ever in the case of UWP games.)
What PresentMon offers us at this stage is an early look at a Fraps-like performance monitoring tool. In the same way that Fraps was looking for Present commands from Windows and recording them, PresentMon does the same thing, at a very similar point in the rendering pipeline as well. What is important and unique about PresentMon is that it is API independent and useful for all types of games and programs.
PresentMon at work
The first and obvious question for our readers is how this performance monitoring tool compares with Frame Rating, our FCAT-based capture benchmarking platform we have used on GPUs and CPUs for years now. To be honest, it's not the same and should not be considered an analog to it. Frame Rating and capture-based testing looks for smoothness, dropped frames and performance at the display, while Fraps and PresentMon look at performance closer to the OS level, before the graphics driver really gets the final say in things. I am still targeting for universal DX12 Frame Rating testing with exclusive full screen capable applications and expect that to be ready sooner rather than later. However, what PresentMon does give us is at least an early universal look at DX12 performance including games that are locked behind the Windows Store rules.
ZOTAC Introduces ZBOX MAGNUS EN980 VR Ready Mini-PC
Subject: Graphics Cards, Systems | March 10, 2016 - 11:38 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: zotac, zbox, VR, SFF, nvidia, mini-pc, MAGNUS EN980, liquid cooling, GTX980, GTX 980, graphics, gpu, geforce
ZOTAC is teasing a new mini PC "ready for virtual reality" leading up to Cebit 2016, happening later this month. The ZBOX MAGNUS EN980 supplants the EN970 as the most powerful version of ZOTAC's gaming mini systems, and will come equipped with no less than an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980.
(Image via Guru3D)
Some questions remain ahead of a more formal announcemnent, and foremost among them is the version of the system's GTX 980. Is this the full desktop variant, or the GTX 980m? It seems to be the former, if we can read into the "factory-installed water-cooling solution", especially if that pertains to the GPU. In any case this will easily be the most powerful mini-PC ZOTAC has released, as even the current MAGNUS EN970 doesn't actually ship with a GTX 970 as the name would imply; rather, a GTX 960 handles discrete graphics duties according to the specs.
The MAGNUS EN980's GTX 980 GPU - mobile or not - will make this a formidable gaming system, paired as it is with a 6th-gen Intel Skylake CPU (the specific model was not mentioned in the press release; the current high-end EN970 with dicrete graphics uses the Intel Core i5-5200U). Other details include support for up to four displays via HDMI and DisplayPort, USB 3.0 and 3.1 Type-C inputs, and built-in 802.11ac wireless.
We'll have to wait until Cebit (which runs from March 14 - 18) for more details. Full press release after the break.
AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.3 Released
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 9, 2016 - 07:42 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: amd, radeon, graphics drivers, vulkan, dx12, DirectX 12
New graphics drivers from AMD have just been published, and it's a fairly big release. First, Catalyst 16.3 adds Vulkan support to main-branch drivers, which they claim is conformant to the 1.0 specification. The Khronos Group website still doesn't list AMD as conforming, but I assume that they will be added shortly (rather than some semantic "conformant" "fully conformant" thing going on). This is great for the platform, as we are still in the launch window of DirectX 12.
Performance has apparently increased as well, significantly. This is especially true in the DirectX 12 title, Gears of War Ultimate Edition. AMD claims that FuryX will see up to a 60% increase in that title, and the R9 380 will gain up to 44%. It's unclear how much that is in real world performance, especially in terms of stutter and jank, which apparently plagues that game.
The driver also has a few other interesting features. One that I don't quite understand is "Power Efficiency Toggle". This supposedly "allows the user to disable some power efficiency optimizations". I would assume that means keeping you GPU up-clocked under certain conditions, but I don't believe that was much of an issue for the last few generations. That said, the resolved issues section claims that some games were choppy because of core clock fluctuation, and lists this option as the solution, so maybe it was. It is only available on "select" Radeon 300 GPUs and Fury X. That is, Fury X specifically, not the regular Fury or the Nano. I expect Ryan will be playing around with it in the next little while.
Last of the main features, the driver adds support for XConnect, which is AMD's new external graphics standard. It requires a BIOS that support external GPUs, which AMD lists the Razer Blade Stealth as. Also noteworthy, Eyefinity can now be enabled with just two displays, and Display Scaling can be set per-game. I avoid manually controlling drivers, even my Wacom tablet, to target specific applications, but that's probably great for those who do.
As a final note: the Ashes of the Singularity 2.0 benchmark now supports DirectFlip.
If you have a recent AMD GPU, grab the drivers from AMD's website.
Ubuntu 16.04 Deprecates AMD fglrx Driver Support
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 9, 2016 - 03:30 PM | Scott Michaud

AMD has been transitioning their kernel driver from the closed-source fglrx to the open-source AMDGPU driver that was announced last year. This forms the base that both closed and open user-mode drivers will utilize. For the upcoming Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Canonical has decided to deprecate fglrx and remove it from the system upon upgrade. Users can then choose to install an AMDGPU-based one, or reinstall the Radeon driver. That will need to be done without Canonical's support, though.
It makes sense that they would choose Ubuntu 16.04 to pull the plug. This is the version that Canonical will be maintaining for the next five years, which could give a headache when AMD has spent the last year trying to get rid of it. AMDGPU is a much safer target as the years roll forward. On the other hand, GPUs prior to Fiji will not have the luxury of choosing, because AMD still hasn't announced AMDGPU for

NVIDIA Pulls 364.47 WHQL and Releases 364.51 Beta

The last couple of days were not too great for software patches. Microsoft released a Windows 10 update that breaks 5K monitors, and NVIDIA's driver bug, mentioned in the last post, was bigger than they realized. It turns out that the issue is not isolated to multiple monitors, but rather had something to do with choosing "Express Install" in the setup screen.
In response, NVIDIA has removed 364.47 from their website. For those who want "Game Ready" drivers with games like "The Division," NVIDIA has provided a 364.51 beta driver that supposedly corrects this issue. People on the forums still claim to have problems with this driver, but nothing has been confirmed yet. It's difficult to tell whether other issues exist with the drivers, whether users are having unrelated issues that are attributed to the drivers, or if it's just a few hoaxes. ((Update on March 9th @ 12:41pm: Still nothing confirmed, but one of our comments claim that they've experienced issues personally.)) If you are concerned, then you can roll back to 362.00.
Fortunately for me, I chose to clean install 364.47 and have not had any issues with them. I asked a representative from NVIDIA on Twitter whether I should upgrade to 364.51, and he said that a few other bugs were fixed but I shouldn't bother.
If you managed to properly install 364.47, then you should be fine staying there.
