Veterans receive same training as CEOs and senior executives – only tailored for military experience
Veterans from across the country gathered in McLean, Va. Jan. 24 for the start of a four-month leadership development program designed to help veterans apply military experience to leadership roles in the civilian sector.
Exelis Action Corps has partnered with global talent consultancy Korn Ferry and Points of Light to deliver the Leveraging Military Leadership Program to an inaugural class of 35 veterans with military experience ranging from junior enlisted to senior officer ranks in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force.
The three-day, in-residence transformational leadership development experience has helped veterans make their skill sets even more relevant, securing their place as a 21st century leader. Additionally, the next three months of career-development sessions, will help veterans chart their professional journey, learn how to apply their leadership skills in civilian positions, and clearly articulate their differentiated value proposition.
Global leadership experts from Korn Ferry and Exelis senior executives led three days of onsite instruction, group exercises and lectures. Highlights included a panel discussion with Korn Ferry executives Chris Cantarella and Jamey Cummings, and Exelis Chief Human Resources Officer John Procopio. All three panelists shared what steps have made them successful throughout their professional journeys and the importance of adapting to new environments
"You know military culture; your new company has a culture too. You must learn it. Listen and adapt to that culture…Your key skill is agility, you must use that to make yourself successful," said Procopio. "The best career strategy can be derailed by a failure to understand culture."
The three-day onsite session was only the beginning of their learning experience. Now back home, the program attendees have delved into the remainder of the four-month program with online, integrated learning components and one-on-one individual coaching.
"These leadership development services are the same level that Korn Ferry delivers to Boards, CEOs and senior executives," said Erica Jeffries, Exelis chief inclusion and diversity officer. "Korn Ferry's expertise in leadership development, coupled with insight from Exelis employees who are also veterans, provided the winning combination to make this program the true success that it is."
Jeffries, a former White House fellow and Army helicopter pilot, is the force behind the program's creation. While participating in an Exelis leadership development program, designed and led by Korn Ferry, she was planning a project to set veterans up for success as they depart military service. Korn Ferry was eager to extend its reach to serve veterans and their families. It was clear that a partnership between Korn Ferry, Exelis Action Corps and Points of Light would provide veterans the rare opportunity to experience world-class civilian leadership training.
"The Korn Ferry volunteer team has been privileged to work with these accomplished veterans, helping them successfully move into the next chapter of their careers," said Noah Rabinowitz, Korn Ferry senior partner and key program faculty member. "This comprehensive experience will help them network, plan and strategize for the next phase of their life and career."
These distinguished veterans were selected through a competitive process from a pool of more than 100 applicants. Many of the participating veterans hold public and private sector management positions across a variety of industries.
"Without the support of Points of Light, we would not have received the level of interest we did for the program in such a short time," said Jeffries. "Because Points of Light spread the word of this rare opportunity throughout their Community Blueprint Network, we could select from a large pool of qualified candidates."
The Leveraging Military Leadership Program will convene at least two more times this year and quarterly beginning in 2015. The next class opportunity details and application information will be posted here by March 15, 2014.

WASHINGTON, Sept.17, 2010 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced today that 24 foreign officials representing 23 countries will tour Montana, Idaho and Yellowstone National Park Sept. 18-25 as part of the annual orientation tour sponsored by USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS).
"International trade plays a critical role in the health and development of the agricultural economy," said FAS Administrator John Brewer. "Orientation tours not only showcase U.S. farms and their products, but facilitate face-to-face interactions that open and expand opportunities for U.S. producers and enhance global food security."
Foreign officials will pay for their own travel, lodging and tour expenses.
The locations selected for the 2010 tour produce a variety of food and agricultural products that are exported worldwide. According to USDA's Economic Research Service:
Montana sold $2.6 billion in agricultural products in 2009, including wheat exports valued at $557 million and feed exports valued at $190 million.
Idaho sold $5.2 billion in agricultural products in 2009, including vegetable exports valued at $476 million and dairy exports valued at $141 million.
In Montana, the delegation will visit the ORIgen beef genetics facility, a sugar beet farm, the Western Sugar Cooperative, the Midland Bull Test facility, the Sunshine Apiary, and Montana State University's Agricultural Bioscience Research Facility and Montana Potato Lab.
The group will continue to Yellowstone, where the visitors will meet with park staff and discuss park management issues.
The foreign officials will conclude their tour in Idaho, visiting sites that include the Idahoan potato dehydration facility, Wada Farms, the University of Idaho's Aberdeen Research and Extension Center, Fish Breeders of Idaho, Ste. Chapelle Winery and Symms Fruit Ranch.
For more information, contact: Ellen Dougherty, Deputy Director, FAS Public Affairs at (202) 720-0328, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com; Marty Earnheart, Montana Department of Agriculture, Meats and Livestock Marketing Officer, at (406) 444-9126, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com; and Lacey Menasco, Idaho State Department of Agriculture, Trade Specialist, at (208) 332-8538, or by e-mail at email@example.com.

The American taxpayers pay for many resources that enhance the earning power of American business, creating a stable and productive environment for businesspeople.
Business benefits from our public schools, our roads, our courts and more. If their businesses do poorly, they shouldn't be expected to pay back much in the form of taxes. If they do well, they should. But they aren't paying us — their real anchor investors — back. It's unpatriotic.
We just keep seeing more tax shelters, tax breaks, and tax loopholes. Some want to put our country's financial future at risk, using the debt ceiling to push for more cuts to critical government programs — while refusing to consider closing some of the loopholes or raising tax rates on the wealthy (those rates are the lowest in the last 60 years and started about 10 years ago).
Who crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401(k)s, took trillions in TARP money, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes? And who should pay the price for the consequences of their own actions?

"The Bridge and Unexpected Lessons" Amarapura by Hewer
Amarapura Travel Guide: 90 reviews and 258 photos
Like most visitors I travelled to Amarapura on a day trip from Mandalay. The main attraction for me in coming here was the U Bein bridge, which I'd neither heard of nor seen a picture of before I went to Burma. The bridge is made up of 984 teak pillars, and its length is 1.2 km, actually making it the longest teak bridge in the world. The teak pillars used to construct the bridge were taken from the former palace of Inwa. One would conclude from all of this that I am obsessed with teak or own a plantation somewhere, but neither is actually true. I went to Amarapura with nothing to lose; at the very least I would have an impressive conversational trump card to pull if ever teak entered some future conversation.
As it turned out, I had a different tale to tell altogether...
Like many people, one of the things I dislike when travelling is having to deal with vendors and touts. We're all polite at first and after a few days, fatigue creeps in and I must admit I start shaking my head as they approach. Strangely then, my most memorable time in Mandalay was spent talking with a kid selling jade ornaments.
We got out of our taxi and were set to walk across a long bridge to Kyauktawgyi Temple. A group of about ten people milled around us, calling out "souvenir", "Mister",
"cheap" etc. Somewhere in the group a little voice was speaking near perfect English. The lad pictured here is 7 years old and is called Myomilwe.
He gave us a tour of the temple, spoke to a few people for us, did a bit of translating, taught us some Burmese and otherwise just asked a barrage of questions.
"What's it like in your country?"
"Why do you only have one sister?"
"Do you ride in a car every day?"
He had a lot of curiousity and that certain kind of brash honesty that only a child can get away with. During our tour he was approached by a boy about his age who spoke to him and then pointed at us.
"Is this your friend?", we asked.
"No, he's not my friend. Same school", he said.
"What does he want?"
"He said you should give him money. Don't talk to him"
This wasn't about greed or anything, just a kid from school he didn't get on with.
He greeted some of his friends along the way and took us to see some people weave baskets. Some of his extended family waved to us as he proudly pointed them out.
On the way back we came upon a girl about his age sitting alone on the bridge. I wanted to get a photo of them together but he was awfully shy about it. He said, "She sits there and takes money for pictures. It's no good."
After I took the picture, he said "Don't give her anything, let's go..." (of course I gave her a few kyat)
I'm pretty sure he is the smartest 7 year old I've ever met. He also spoke French and asked me would I mind speaking French with him for a few minutes so he could practice. He asked me to teach him some Japanese phrases which I did. Five minutes later while I was talking to Mick (VTer McGregorm) I heard him repeating "konnichi wa, konnichi wa, konichi wa" over and over. He's got quite a system!
There was no sour ending either. I gave him a few dollars and told him I didn't want any jade. He said "Oh no, I'll get in trouble. Give it as a present to someone". Fair enough I said and off he went.
I guess the moral of the story is to give people a chance. I feel bad thinking of all the impatient tourists rudely waving Myomilwe away when he's probably only just old enough to understand. I could have done the same thing and instead I had one of the defining experiences of my whole trip.
- Pros:My little mate Miyomilwe and the lesson he taught me
- Cons:It's a little bit out of the way
- In a nutshell:Go there before everybody else does ;-)

Many parents are looking for a way to give their kids a boost in tough subjects without the cost of private tutoring. The CRRL has done its homework and has the solution! HelpNow is an online service that provides live tutors, test preparation tools, and study resources.
It's lunchtime, and students carrying lunch boxes and cafeteria trays begin filing into the school library and finding seats. Librarians from the school and public libraries eagerly await their arrival. Once everyone's settled, they facilitate student discussion of 16 recently published teen titles, reminding students to start with what they liked and guiding them to elaborate on any concerns, beyond simply "It was boring." After meeting, reading, and discussing for an entire semester, teens vote for their favorites. The results become each school's "Top Teen Picks" list. The public library's copies get an award sticker, and these books become the most sought-after titles on our shelves. The semester wraps up with a visit to the Central Rappahannock Regional Library, where the students continue their tradition of lunching in the library while also touring the building, answering trivia questions based on the books, and cheering for their school's winners.
Video games? Check. Alien invaders? Check. Special appearances from world-renowned scientists? Triple-check! Armada, by Ernest Cline, has it all. He is back on our radar with another chart-topping classic for geeks and muggles alike. If you are a fan of Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card, and The Last Starfighter, this is the book for you. So, grab your Game Boys, tablets and keyboards. It is time to save the world.
I love Batman. I remember watching the old, cheesy shows when I was a kid. Now, Batman is much more about kicking butt and taking names. Look at all the gadgets! Look at the revamped Batmobile.. err.. Bat Tank? And, oh-my-gosh, the video games. I love the Arkham video game series and am very sad that it has come to an end with its latest installment. I just want it to keep going.
So, if you're like me and love the elements of the Arkham Batman games—the martial arts, the riddles, the toxins, and the betrayal, check out these books filled with all those delightful, Batman-y characteristics.

Restaurateur seeks menu for marital bliss
FULLERTON — Marriage wasn't on Lt. James Burnette's mind when he and his buddy struck up a conversation with a pair of beauties on the streets of Austin, Texas in 1944.
Burnette, then 20, had a sweetheart in Spokane before he was shipped to Bergstrom Field. The Army Air Forces officer didn't want to commit in wartime.
"The other lieutenant and I decided to double-date the next night, so we flipped a quarter to see who got the brunette. I won," said Burnette, 87, seated next to his mate, Mabel, of 65 ½ years. "Mabel and I were married four months later, and my girlfriend got a Dear John (letter)."
The Burnettes of Fullerton were among 10 couples married more than 60 years who were invited to lunch Thursday at The Cellar Restaurant. Owner Ryan Dudley, who is marrying Brianne Blythe, 29, on May 1, said he wanted advice on maintaining a long marriage.
"I just want to do it right," said Dudley, 33.
Dudley walked among the tables, asking each guest to share their recipes for happiness. Answers stretched from "She talks and I listen" to "I'd be awful dumb to leave her."
Minutes later, the couples — most of the men in suits and most of their wives in luncheon attire — reached deep into their memory banks to pull out heartfelt – and humorous – stories.
The Burnettes told tablemates it was so hot during their church wedding that the candles dripped, causing the plants to catch fire. The next three days held another round of mishaps, starting with a transfer to Malden, Mo. where the only hotel in town was a bordello.
"Mabel wouldn't use the bathroom, so the next morning we had to go to the base Officers Club," Burnette said. "When we went to rent a house, Mabel headed upstairs, not heeding the landlady's call, 'Mrs. Burnette.' Mabel didn't realize she had a new name."
Across the room, Christine Angeli introduced her parents, Ann and Ken Cooper of Upland, to the partygoers. Angeli, 20 years younger than her siblings, said her mother always said having children around the house for 40 years kept them young. Her parents have been married 67 years.
Jack and Jennie Taylor of Anaheim Hills won the "grand prize" for staying married the longest: 68 years. The pair met in junior high school in Long Beach, dated on the roller coaster at the old Pike Amusement Zone and drove to Las Vegas to get married.
"Our friend had a small trailer in the desert town, so that's where we spent our honeymoon," Jennie said.
Bob and Bertha Payan of Yorba Linda got hitched in a Las Vegas wedding chapel after eloping in his father's car.
Bob Payan, holding a scrapbook with the couple's marriage certificate, said he met Bertha when he delivered gasoline to her father's service station in Artesia.
"He had eight kids, and I had the pick of the litter," said Payan, still wooing his sweetheart of 64 years.
Yet, it was Andrew and Margaret Beyer of Santa Ana, married 66 years, who grabbed the most attention. Andrew, 92, is listed in the Guinness World Book of Records as the world's oldest performing professional clown.
"He always keeps me entertained," Margaret said. "He used to come to the dinner table with his clown face on, and I'd tell him to take it off. He'd fire back, 'I didn't notice I still have it on.'"
Margaret said her hubby still thanks her for dinner every night, a compliment she dubs "important communication."
"And we never turn on television during dinner, not even for the Lakers," she added. "After 66 years, you'd think we would have nothing to say, but we always do."

yes! adventure time is ok sometimes but the rest is just plain awful, and the sad part is that all my friends watch it because its the only channel they have besides news channels and infomercial channels, thats probably the only reason they can stay on air.

Rumor: AMD Radeon R9 300-series Release Dates
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 14, 2015 - 11:00 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: tonga, radeon, R9, pitcairn, Fiji, bonaire, amd
Benchlife.info, via WCCFTech, believes that AMD's Radeon R9 300-series GPUs will launch in late June. Specifically, the R9 380, the R7 370, and the R7 360 will arrive on the 18th of June. These are listed as OEM parts, as we have mentioned on the podcast, which Ryan speculates could mean that the flagship Fiji XT might go by a different name. Benchlife.info seems to think that it will be called by the R9 390(X) though, and that it will be released on the 24th of June.
WCCFTech is a bit more timid, calling it simply "Fiji XT".
In relation to industry events, this has the OEM lineup launching on the last day of E3 and Fiji XT launching in the middle of the following week. This feels a little weird, especially because AMD's E3 event with PC Gamer is on the 16th. While it makes sense for AMD to announce the launch a few days before it happens, that doesn't make sense for OEM parts unless they were going to announce a line of pre-built PCs. The most likely candidate to launch gaming PCs is Valve, and they're one of the few companies that are absent from AMD's event.
And this is where I run out of ideas. Launching a line of OEM parts at E3 is weird unless it was to open the flood gates for OEMs to make their own announcements. Unless Valve is scheduled to make an announcement earlier in the day, or a surprise appearance at the event, that seems unlikely. Something seems up, though.

AMD Previews New Flagship GPU with HBM and 3x Perf/Watt Improvements
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 6, 2015 - 06:21 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: amd, hbm, radeon, gpu
During today's 2015 AMD Financial Analyst Day, CEO Dr. Lisa Su discussed some of the details of the upcoming enthusiast Radeon graphics product. Though it wasn't given a name, she repeatedly said that the product would be announced "in the coming weeks...at upcoming industry events."
You won't find specifications here but understanding the goals and targets that AMD has for this new flagship product will help tell the story of this new Radeon product. Dr. Su sees AMD investing at very specific inflection points, the most recent of which are DirectX 12, 4K displays and VR technology. With adoption of HBM (high bandwidth memory) that sits on-die with the GPU, rather than across a physical PCB, we will see both a reduction in power consumption as well as a significant increase in GPU memory bandwidth.
HBM will accelerate the performance improvements at those key inflection points Dr. Su mentioned. Additional memory bandwidth will aid the ability for discrete GPUs to push out 4K resolutions and beyond, no longer limited by texture sizes. AMD's LiquidVR software, in conjunction with HBM, will be able to improve latency and reduce performance concerns on current and future generations of virtual reality hardware.
One interesting comment made during the conference was that HBM would enable new form factors for the GPUs now that you now longer need to have memory spread out on a PCB. While there isn't much room in the add-in card market for differentiation, in the mobile space that could mean some very interesting things for higher performance gaming notebooks.
Mark Papermaster, AMD CTO, said earlier in the conference call that HBM would aid in performance but maybe more importantly will lower power and improve total GPU efficiency. HBM will offer more than 3x improved performance/watt compared to GDDR5 while also running more than 50% lower power than GDDR5. Lower power and higher performance upgrades don't happen often so I am really excited to see what AMD does with it.
There weren't any more details on the next flagship Radeon GPU but it doesn't look like we'll have to wait much longer.
New GeForce Bundle: Witcher 3 and Batman: Arkham Knight
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 5, 2015 - 04:46 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: The Witcher 3, nvidia, GTX 980, GTX 970, gtx, geforce, batman arkham knight
NVIDIA has announced a new game bundle for GeForce graphics cards starting now, and it's a doozy: Purchase a qualifying GTX card and receive download codes for both Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Batman: Arkham Knight!
Needless to say, both of these titles have been highly anticipated, and neither have been released just yet with Witcher 3: Wild Hunt due to be released on May 19, and Batman: Arkham Knight arriving on June 23. So which cards qualify? Amazon has a page specifically created for this new offer here, and depending on which card you select you'll be eligible for either both upcoming games, or just Witcher 3. NVIDIA has this chart on their promotion page for reference:
So GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 cards will qualify for both games, and GTX 960 cards and the mobile GPUs qualify for Witcher 3 alone. Regardless of which game or card you may choose these PC versions of the new games will feature graphics that can't be matched by consoles, and NVIDIA points out the advantages in their post:
"Both Batman and The Witcher raise the bar for graphical fidelity, rendering two very different open worlds with a level of detail we could only dream of last decade. And on PC, each is bolstered by NVIDIA GameWorks effects that increase fidelity, realism, and immersion. But to use those effects in conjunction with the many other available options, whilst retaining a high frame rate, it's entirely possible that you'll need an upgrade."
NVIDIA also posted this Witcher 3: Wild Hunt behind-the-scenes video:
In addition to the GameWorks effects present in Witcher 3, NVIDIA worked with developer Rocksteady on Batman: Arkham Knight "to create new visual effects exclusively for the game's PC release." The post elaborates:
"This is in addition to integrating the latest and greatest versions of our GPU-accelerated PhysX Destruction, PhysX Clothing and PhysX Turbulence technologies, which work in tandem to create immersive effects that react realistically to external forces. In previous Batman: Arkham games, these technologies created immersive fog and ice effects, realistic destructible scenery, and game-enhancing cloth effects that added to the atmosphere and spectacle. Expect to see similar effects in Arkham Knight, along with new features and effects that we'll be talking about in depth as we approach Arkham Knight's June 23rd release."
Of note, mobile GPUs included in the promotion will only receive download codes if the seller of the notebook is participating in the "Two Times The Adventure" offer, so be sure to check that out when looking for a gaming laptop that qualifies!
The promotion is going on now and is available "for a limited time or while supplies last".
Rumor: Could AMD and PC Gamer Event at E3 Finally Bring New GPU Announcements?
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 1, 2015 - 12:28 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: PC Gamer, gpu, Fiji, E3 2015, amd
We haven't had much more than rumor and speculation about upcoming AMD graphics for a while now, but there is more than enough fresh fuel for the GPU fire today to ignore completely. It seems that AMD and PC Gamer magazine have teamed up to announce a special (what else) PC gaming event at this year's E3 show on June 16, and this would be the perfect place for some new hardware announcements.
Not enough for you? Well, while the AMD Fiji GPU rumors are nothing new to followers of industry news, it has now been indirectly announced that the upcoming Fiji GPU from AMD will in fact feature 2.5D high-bandwidth memory (HBM). As reported by tech news/rumor site wccftech the announcement came via the official schedule for the upcoming Hot Chips symposium, which is slated for August 23-25 in Cupertino, California.
This screenshot was taken this morning from the official online event schedule
(Note: This part of the day 2 schedule has now been changed to read "AMD's Next Generation GPU and Memory Architecture", with all mention of Fiji and HBM removed.)
Whether this gives us insight into the actual release date of the long-awaited Fiji GPU from AMD is unclear, but new AMD GPU products certainly seem to be imminent as we move into the summer months. Speculation is fun (for a while), but hopefully the PC gaming event at E3 in June will provide at least some official news from AMD on the new GPU products we've been waiting for.
Got Windows 10? Get GeForce 352.63 beta

Tagged: GeForce 352.63, beta, windows 10
The new Win 10 NVIDIA GeForce driver is here, in two different flavours depending on your form factor. If you spend the money for a gaming laptop with a GeForce 600M through 900M then this is the driver for you. On the other hand if you have a traditional desktop and a GPU or two then head to this page.
If you have a Sony laptop you should double check your GPU is covered and unfortunately at this point Hybrid Power technology is not supported. NVIDIA did not provide much additional information on the desktop side; it is a beta and so is the OS so make sure to record the full information about your bugs and crashes when reporting them, not just a frowny face followed by expletives.
GTA V: The GPU review

Some sort of game involving driving stolen prostitutes into cars in an open sore world has arrived and the questions about what it takes to make the game look good are popping up like pills. [H]ard|OCP seems to have heard of the game and tested out its performance on the top performing video cards from AMD and NVIDIA in both single and doubles. You will get more out of a double but unfortunately only around a 50% improvement so obviously that second shot is watered down a bit. In the end the GTX TITAN X was the best choice for those who want to crank everything up, with the 980 tasting slightly better than the 290X for those that actually have to ask the price. Check the full review here.
"Grand Theft Auto V has finally been released on the PC. In this preview we will look at some video card comparisons in performance, maximize graphics settings at 1440p and 4K. We will briefly test AMD CHS Shadow and NVIDIA PCSS shadow and talk about them. We will even see if SLI and CrossFire work."

Red Hat Joins Khronos Group
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | April 20, 2015 - 11:30 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Red Hat, Khronos
With a brief blog post, Red Hat has announced that they are now members of the Khronos Group. Red Hat, one of the largest vendors of Linux software and services, would like to influence the direction of OpenGL and the upcoming Vulkan API. Also, apart from Valve, they are one of the only Linux vendors that contributes to the Khronos Group as an organization. I hope that their input counter-balances Apple, Google, and Microsoft, who are each members, in areas that are beneficial to the open-source operating system.
As for now, Red Hat intends to use their membership to propose OpenGL extensions as well as influence Vulkan as previously mentioned. It also seems reasonable that they would push for extensions to Vulkan, which the Khronos Group mentioned would support extensions at GDC, especially if something that they need fails to reach "core" status. While this feels late, I am glad that they at least joined now.
Moore's Law Is Fifty Years Old!
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Processors | April 19, 2015 - 06:08 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: moores law, Intel
While he was the director of research and development at Fairchild Semiconductor, Gordon E. Moore predicted that the number of components in an integrated circuits would double every year. Later, this time-step would slow to every two years; you can occasionally hear people talk about eighteen months too, but I am not sure who derived that number. In a few years, he would go on to found Intel with Robert Noyce, where they spend tens of billions of dollars annually to keep up with the prophecy.
It works out for the most part, but we have been running into physical issues over the last few years though. One major issue is that, with our process technology dipping into the single- and low double-digit nanometers, we are running out of physical atoms to manipulate. The distance between silicon atoms in a solid at room temperature is about 0.5nm; a 14nm product has features containing about 28 atoms, give or take a few in rounding error.
Josh has a good editorial that discusses this implication with a focus on GPUs.
It has been a good fifty years since the start of Moore's Law. Humanity has been developing plans for how to cope with the eventual end of silicon lithography process shrinks. We will probably transition to smaller atoms and molecules and later consider alternative technologies like photonic crystals, which routes light in the hundreds of terahertz through a series of waveguides that make up an integrated circuit. Another interesting thought: will these technologies fall in line with Moore's Law in some way?
NVIDIA Released 350.12 WHQL and AMD Released 15.4 Beta for Grand Theft Auto V
Subject: Graphics Cards | April 14, 2015 - 05:27 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nvidia, amd, GTA5
Grand Theft Auto V launched today at around midnight GMT worldwide. This corresponded to 7PM EDT for those of us in North America. Well, add a little time for Steam to unlock the title and a bit longer for Rockstar to get enough servers online. One thing you did not need to wait for was new video card drivers. Both AMD and NVIDIA have day-one drivers that provide support.
You can get the NVIDIA drivers at their landing page
You can get the AMD drivers at their release notes
Personally, I ran the game for about a half hour on Windows 10 (Build 10049) with a GeForce GTX 670. Since these drivers are not for the pre-release operating system, I tried running it on 349.90 to see how it performed before upgrading. Surprisingly, it seems to be okay (apart from a tree that was flickering in and out of existence during a cut-scene). I would definitely update my drivers if they were available and supported, but I'm glad that it seems to be playable even on Windows 10.
90-some percent of the performance for 70 percent of the price; PowerColor's PCS+ R9 290X
Subject: Graphics Cards | April 6, 2015 - 08:54 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: factory overclocked, powercolor pcs+, R9 290X
The lowest priced GTX 980 on Amazon is currently $530 while the PowerColor PCS+ R9 290X is $380, about 72% of the price of the GTX 980. The performance that [H]ard|OCP saw after overclocking the 290X was much closer, in some games even matching it but usually about 5-10% slower than the GTX 980, making it quite obvious which card is the better value. The GTX 970 is a different story, you can find a card for $310 and the performance is only slightly behind the 290X although the 290X takes a larger lead at higher resolutions. Read through the review carefully as the performance delta and overall smoothness varies from game to game but unless you like paying to brag about your handful of extra frames the 970 and 290X are the cards offering you the best bang for your buck.
"Today we examine what value the PowerColor PCS+ R9 290X holds compared to overclocked GeForce GTX 970. AMD's Radeon R9 290X pricing has dropped considerably since launch and constitutes a great value and competition for the GeForce GTX 970. At $350 this may be an excellent value compared to the competition."

Saved so much using Linux you can afford a Titan X?
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 27, 2015 - 08:02 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gtx titan x, linux, nvidia
Perhaps somewhere out there is a Linux user who wants a TITAN X and if there is they will like the results of Phoronix's testing. The card works perfectly straight out of the box with the latest 346.47 driver as well as the 349.12 Beta; if you want to use Nouveau then don't buy this card. The TITAN did not win any awards for power efficiency but for OpenCL tests, synthetic OpenGL benchmarks and Unigine on Linux it walked away a clear winner. Phoronix, and many others, hope that AMD is working on an updated Linux driver to accompany the new 300 series of cards we will see soon to help them be more competitive on open source systems.
If you are sick of TITAN X reviews by now, just skip to their 22 GPU performance roundup of Metro Redux.
"Last week NVIDIA unveiled the GeForce GTX TITAN X during their annual GPU Tech Conference. Of course, all of the major reviews at launch were under Windows and thus largely focused on the Direct3D performance. Now that our review sample arrived this week, I've spent the past few days hitting the TITAN X hard under Linux with various OpenGL and OpenCL workloads compared to other NVIDIA and AMD hardware on the binary Linux drivers."

NVIDIA Quadro M6000 Announced
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 23, 2015 - 11:30 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: quadro, nvidia, m6000, gm200
Alongside the Titan X, NVIDIA has announced the Quadro M6000. In terms of hardware, they are basically the same component: 12 GB of GDDR5 on a 384-bit memory bus, 3072 CUDA cores, and a reduction in double precision performance to 1/32nd of its single precision. The memory, but not the cache, is capable of ECC (error-correction) for enterprises who do not want a stray photon to mess up their computation. That might be the only hardware difference between it and the Titan X.
Compared to other Quadro cards, it loses some double precision performance as mentioned earlier, but it will be an upgrade in single precision (FP32). The add-in board connects to the power supply with just a single eight-pin plug. Technically, with its 250W TDP, it is slightly over the rating for one eight-pin PCIe connector, but NVIDIA told Anandtech that they're confident that it won't matter for the card's intended systems.
That is probably true, but I wouldn't put it past someone to do something spiteful given recent events.
The lack of double precision performance (IEEE 754 FP64) could be disappointing for some. While NVIDIA would definitely know their own market better than I do, I was under the impression that a common workstation system for GPU compute was a Quadro driving a few Teslas (such as two of these). It would seem weird for a company to have such a high-end GPU be paired with Teslas that have such a significant difference in FP64 compute. I wonder what this means for the Tesla line, and whether we will see a variant of Maxwell with a large boost in 64-bit performance, or if that line will be in an awkward place until Pascal.
Or maybe not? Maybe NVIDIA is planning to launch products based on an unannounced, FP64-focused architecture? The aim could be to let the Quadro deal with the heavy FP32 calculations, while the customer could opt to load co-processors according to their double precision needs? It's an interesting thought as I sit here at my computer musing to myself, but then I immediately wonder why did they not announce it at GTC if that is the case? If that is the case, and honestly I doubt it because I'm just typing unfiltered thoughts here, you would think they would kind-of need to be sold together. Or maybe not. I don't know.
Pricing and availability is not currently known, except that it is "soon".
A TITANic roundup of GPUs
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 19, 2015 - 07:20 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: titan x, nvidia, gtx titan x, gm200, geforce, 4k
You have read Ryan's review of the $999 behemoth from NVIDIA and now you can take the opportunity to see what other reviewers think of the card. [H]ard|OCP tested it against the GTX 980 which shares the same cooler and is every bit as long as the TITAN X. Along the way they found a use for the 12GB of VRAM as both Watch_Dogs and Far Cry 4 used over 7GB of memory when tested at 4k resolution though the frame rates were not really playable, you will need at least two TITAN X's to pull that off. They will be revisiting this card in the future, providing more tests for a card with incredible performance and an even more incredible price.
"The TITAN X video card has 12GB of VRAM, not 11.5GB, 50% more streaming units, 50% more texture units, and 50% more CUDA cores than the current GTX 980 flagship NVIDIA GPU. While this is not our full TITAN X review, this preview focuses on what the TITAN X delivers when directly compared to the GTX 980."

NVIDIA Announces DIGITS DevBox - 28 TFLOPS, 1300 Watts, $15k
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Shows and Expos | March 17, 2015 - 07:44 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: nvidia, DIGITS
At GTC, NVIDIA announced a new device called the DIGITS DevBox:
The DIGITS DevBox is a device that data scientists can purchase and install locally. Plugged into a single electrical outlet, this modified Corsair Air 540 case equipped with quad TITAN X (reviewed here) GPUs can crank out 28 TeraFLOPS of compute power. The installed CPU is a Haswell-E 5930K, and the system is rated to draw 1300W of power. NVIDIA is building these in-house as the expected volume is low, with these units likely going to universities and small compute research firms.
Why would you want such compute power?
DIGITS is a software package available from NVIDIA. Its purpose is to act as a tool for data scientists to manipulate deep learning environments (neural networks). This package, running on a DIGITS DevBox, will give much more compute power capability to scientists who need it for their work. Getting this tech in the hands of more scientists will accelerate this technology and lead to what NVIDIA hopes will be a 'Big Bang' in this emerging GPU-compute-heavy field.
More from GTC is coming soon, as well as an exclusive PC Perspective Live Stream set to start in just a few minutes! Did I mention we will be giving away a Titan X???
Ryan interviewed the lead developer of DIGITS in the video below. This offers a great explanation (and example) of what this deep learning stuff is all about:
GTC 2015: NVIDIA Roadmap Shows Pascal with 3D Memory, NVLink and Mixed Precision Compute
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 17, 2015 - 05:47 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: pascal, nvidia, gtc 2015, GTC, geforce
At the keynote of the GPU Technology Conference (GTC) today, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang disclosed some more updates on the roadmap for future GPU technologies.
Most of the detail was around Pascal, due in 2016, that will introduce three new features including mixed compute precision, 3D (stacked) memory, and NVLink. Mixed precision is a method of computing in FP16, allowing calculations to run much faster at lower accuracy than full single or double precision when they are not necessary. Keeping in mind that Maxwell doesn't have an implementation with full speed DP compute (today), it would seem that NVIDIA is targeting different compute tasks moving forward. Though details are short, mixed precision would likely indicate processing cores than can handle both data types.
3D memory is the ability to put memory on-die with the GPU directly to improve overall memory banwidth. The visual diagram that NVIDIA showed on stage indicated that Pascal would have 750 GB/s of bandwidth, compared to 300-350 GB/s on Maxwell today.
NVLink is a new way of connecting GPUs, improving on bandwidth by more than 5x over current implementations of PCI Express. They claim this will allow for connecting as many as 8 GPUs for deep learning performance improvements (up to 10x). What that means for gaming has yet to be discussed.
NVIDIA made some other interesting claims as well. Pascal will be more than 2x more performance per watt efficient than Maxwell, even without the three new features listed above. It will also ship (in a compute targeted product) with a 32GB memory system compared to the 12GB of memory announced on the Titan X today. Pascal will also have 4x the performance in mixed precision compute.

NVIDIA Quadro M6000 Leaks via Deadmau5
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 14, 2015 - 06:12 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: nvidia, quadro, m6000, deadmau5, gtc 2015
Sometimes information comes from the least likely of sources. Deadmau5, one of the world's biggest names in house music, posted an interesting picture to his Instagram feed a couple of days ago.
Well, that's interesting. A quick hunt on Google for the NVIDIA M6000 reveals rumors of it being a GM200-based 12GB graphics card. Sound familiar? NVIDIA recently announced the GeForce GTX TITAN X based on an identical configuration at GDC last week.
A backup of the Instagram image...in case it gets removed.
With NVIDIA's GPU Technology Conference coming up starting this Tuesday, it would appear we have more than one version of GM200 incoming.
NVIDIA Releases GeForce GTX 960M and GTX 950M Mobile Graphics
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 13, 2015 - 03:13 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: nvidia, maxwell, GTX 960M, GTX 950M, gtx 860m, gtx 850m, gm107, geforce
NVIDIA has announced new GPUs to round out their 900-series mobile lineup, and the new GTX 960M and GTX 950M are based on the same GM107 core as the previous 860M/850M parts.
Both GPUs feature 640 CUDA Cores and are separated by Base clock speed, with the GTX 960M operating at 1096 MHz and GTX 950M at 914 MHz. Both have unlisted maximum Boost frequencies that will likely vary based on thermal constraints. The memory interface is the other differentiator between the GPUs, with the GTX 960M sporting dedicated GDDR5 memory, and the GTX 950M can be implemented with either DDR3 or GDDR5 memory. Both GTX 960M and 950M use the same 128-bit memory interface and support up to 4GB of memory.
As reported by multiple sources the core powering the 960M/950M is a GM107 Maxwell GPU, which means that we are essentially talking about rebadged 860M/850M products, though the unlisted Boost frequencies could potentially be higher with these parts with improved silicon on a mature 28nm process. In contrast the previously announced GTX 965M is based on a cut down Maxwell GM204 GPU, with its 1024 CUDA Cores representing half of the GPU core introduced with the GTX 980.
New notebooks featuring the GTX 960M have already been announced by NVIDIA's partners, so we will soon see if there is any performance improvement to these refreshed GM107 parts.

Breastfeeding & dizzy spells.

Married to my best friend, Mommy to an awesome little dude & a pretty little lady
I am not a doctor but I have similar dizzy spells and it is caused by Vertigo. Its an inbalance of teh equilibrim . (?SP)
not saying you have it but that is teh only thing I can really think of , Good luck and God bless you
Hmm...I'll have to wait and see what the dr says. It scares me sometimes bc I feel like I'm going to pass out and dh is usually gone and night, so it's just me and ds.
Married to my best friend, Mommy to an awesome little dude & a pretty little lady
AWW, I am sorry to hear that. I too felt like that but When I was ready to sleep was when it would really hit me I lit. felt like I was going to spin straight off teh bed..lol... I was always nauseated and dizzy . I was diag. back in 2009, doctor gave me antivert it helps with teh nausea but knocks me out, so I take it at night . I hope it's not vertigo that is just the nastiest feeling. Good luck and keep posted ... hugs
Thank you!! I will!
Married to my best friend, Mommy to an awesome little dude & a pretty little lady
Are you pregnant? Dizzy and nauseous both fit the bill for that!!
Seriously, though, I get dizzy and nauseous when my blood sugar drops... usually when I forget to eat or am not drinking enough fluid, which is easy to do when I'm focusing so much on LO and not on momma.
Good luck at the doc.
Platinum boobies! ( . )( . )
Mommy to Elisabeth (March '10) and Nicholas (June '12)
I was having dizzy spells, but they've mostly subsided. I didn't even consider a connection to BFing. Let us know what your doc says. Hope it isn't anything serious.
Mom to fur baby Dakota, a beautiful TODDLER girl born March 15, 2010, and another beautiful BABY girl born March 6, 2012 (VBAC). Go Marchies!
I don't really get dizzy.. but I feel spacey. When I first started breastfeeding I used to tell people I feel like I'm always hung-over (obviously I'm not drinking since I'm breastfeeding). I just feel out of it all the time and when my son is breastfeeding and my milk lets down I feel nauseous for a few minutes. Not the whole feeding just the beginning.
I'm a relatively small person so I just chalk it up to be blood sugars and not eating enough. When I make a conscious effort to snack during the day it seems to help with all the symptoms. Now a days I don't really notice it but I've been breastfeeding for 7 months so I think I'm just used to the feelings.
Keep us posted on what the doctor says.

Discover Quebec City: Beyond the Walls
Few tourists stray from the heart of Vieux-Quebec, and why should they? The narrow cobbled streets of the 400-year-old walled city reveal historic architecture, fine dining, museums and even a battlefield. But there is always something to be said for getting off the main tourist track, and Quebec City is no exception. Not far from the walls are the neighbourhoods where the city's residents venture out to eat, shop and play.
This creative, trendy neighbourhood is a riches-to-rags-to-riches again urban success story. Originally inhabited at the beginning of the 17th century by French missionaries, the area eventually developed into a prosperous commercial centre up untill the 1960's, when suburban sprawl and shopping malls took people away from downtown. In an attempt to revive it, a covered outdoor mall was built, but instead of attracting shoppers, it drew crime and the neighbourhood fell further into disrepair.
"Twenty years ago there was basically nothing here," says Claude Tremblay, a local resident. Change began with the Saint-Roch Garden. Built in 1992 on a vacant lot, its flowers, sculptures, water fountain and shaded benches became a symbol of the intended transformation. Over time, the buildings were restored and businesses moved in, and by 2006 the neighbourhood was vibrant once again.
But the reincarnated district is an even more stylish version of its former self, with creative types and IT innovators living and doing business here. In fact, in order to open an establishment in Saint-Roch you have to prove that nothing of its type exists elsewhere. And so it's easy to stumble across particularly innovative places like Le Cercle, a former garage that is now part restaurant, part gallery, and part concert venue. "It really represents the creative movement here," says manager Édouard Garneau.
The restaurant prides itself on its extensive collection of privately-imported wines and locally-sourced food, partnering with Cercle Maraîcher, a human-scale farm on the nearby Île d'Orléans. "We also put a big emphasis on culture," says Garneau. So you'll find projections on the wall, rotating exhibits of emerging artists and over 250 annual concerts.
Other foodie hot spots in the district include Brûlerie St-Roch for coffee and pastries, Clocher Penché for upmarket bistro fare and La Barberie for craft beers brewed on the premises. Shoppers can browse at Boutique Philippe Dubuc, a Quebec designer boutique for men, or try Benjo an impressive independent toy store, and then there's Signatures - a co-op of local designers who sell their á lá mode clothing and accessories in the basement of the gothic-style Saint-Roch Church.
Whereas locals describe Saint-Roch as trendy and creative, they use rather different adjectives to describe the much-loved Saint-Jean district - folksy, bohemian, charming, laid-back and friendly are more commonly bandied around here. Like nearby Saint-Roch, the neighbourhoods are connected by the Faubourg elevator, which is filled with boutiques and restaurants. As you stroll down Rue Saint-Jean Street, keep an eye out for J.A. Moisan Epicier, one of the oldest grocers in North America and Choco-Musée Érico's, a chocolate maker, museum and shop (and yes, they have samples you can try too). When you're tired of walking, relax at St. Matthew's Cemetery - the oldest remaining cemetery in the city, which is also a park.
Limoilou, an up-and-coming district with working-class roots, is another worthwhile beyond-the-walls destination. This former shipyard located along the Saint-Charles River has original restaurants and shops that are frequented by locals rather than tourists. Like Saint-Roch and Saint-Jean, if you venture into this community you'll hear more French, see fewer cameras, and experience Quebec's thriving cultural and culinary scenes.

Dear Kat I am happy to receive the first comment by you.
This is one of the longest glaciers in the Alps, the longest in Italy (10 Km). The ice is partially covered by rocks, but the thicknes of the ice is several hundreds meters. The glaciers ends at an hight of less than 2000 meters.
hi amazingly Beautiful. Great photography you have got good eye for colour & composition nice gallery Postcard Quality Brilliant you are an artist i added you to favourites list thank you so much
This image was taken at the end of a long glacier completely covered by rocks.
It is hard to walk in this place.
Dear Shalom, I want to thank you for your choice, it is an honour for me.
My warmest greetings.

I can't believe there is a Dayton board found this totally by accident!
I have lived in the Dayton area since birth, I grew up in Yellow Springs, and moved to Miamisburg to be with DH when we were just BF/GF. Now we live in Centerville but spend a lot of time in the Springboro/Franklin area as that is where a lot of our friends and family are and where DH is from.
I have an almost 15 month old DS, can't wait to have more but we are waiting. DH and I went through some serious job loss last year so we are just enjoying the calm of having mostly secure jobs before we create another storm lol.
Glad this board is here, I hope to get to talk with all you Dayton moms!

I haven't seen anywhere that said Sugimori didn't draw Rosa, Nate, Colress, or any of the new forms.
Sugimori also doesn't do Box work for the remakes either from what I remember. So he wouldn't be involved with remakes either.
Remakes would also be place holders between main game titles. Gen 5 has two main game titles unlike past generations which had Special Versions.
Sugimori stated in an old Tweet that he only drew the BW Pokemon, protagonists, professors, N, and Ghetsis. Check the cards with official art for the other BW trainers, and for B2W2 characters such as Colress; they are credited to Yusuke Ohmura.
He did draw the boxart for FireRed and LeafGreen, as stated in an old Nintendo guidebook. Not sure about the boxes of HGSS though.
Either way, I definitely think there will be RSEmakes. Junichi Masuda loves them so much, and many fans want to see them remade. Even if it's not directly a remake, but rather new stories set in Hoenn, I wouldn't mind.
As for whether it will be gen 5 or not, I think gen 5 is over now, and gen 6 will either start with its new games, or with these RSEmakes.
I'm not sure if RSE has actually been officially placed in the "timeline" as being at the same time as RGBY/FRLG, but I think it can be placed at any other time and not mess anything up. Unless I'm missing something, in which case please feel free to let me know! (Really! I'd rather know!)
