LucidLogix Releases Virtu GPU Virtualization Software to Motherboard Manufacturers
LucidLogix Releases Virtu GPU Virtualization Software to Motherboard Manufacturers
The pioneer of multi-vendor/multi-GPU graphic solutions, LucidLogix today announced it has released Virtu GPU virtualization software for 2nd Generation Intel Core processor platforms to global motherboard manufacturers.
With this technology, next-generation PCs will dynamically balance the advanced power-efficient, built-in media features of Intel Core processor graphics with the high-end, DirectX 11 3D, anti-aliasing and performance features of discrete GPUs, while significantly reducing the power drain of traditional entertainment desktops. Ultimately, the consumer is assured optimal simultaneous performance in 3D gaming and video functions like transcoding and HD playback without the need to swap video cable connections between GPUs.
"A simple software solution, Virtu is a cost-efficient technology with big rewards," said Offir Remez, LucidLogix president and founder. "Virtu solves both usability and power consumption issues for motherboard consumers and makes it easy for an OEM to build systems that have no-compromise video and 3D graphics capabilities."
Lucid GPU virtualization software assigns tasks in real time to the best available graphics resource based on power, performance and features considerations, with no need for additional hardware. If graphics power is needed for applications like high-resolution 3D gaming, the system will assign the job to the discrete GPU. If not, the discrete GPU automatically goes into idle mode, while heat drops, fan speed slows down and GPU utilization goes down to zero, resulting in a green, power-efficient, long-lasting system.
Designed for entry-level through mainstream PCs equipped with 2nd Generation Intel Core processors and NVIDIA or AMD 3D GPUs, Virtu software automatically adjusts the performance, thermal and feature allocation based on the requirements of individual applications. The only system requirement is to always connect the display screen directly to the motherboard's built-in display output (DVI, HDMI, etc).
"With Lucid's Virtu, PC gamers who require discrete graphics for high-resolution gaming can easily get the amazing built-in visual capabilities of 2nd Generation Intel Core processors, including Intel Quick Sync Video and Intel Insider," said Zane Ball, General Manager of Desktop Platforms.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger praised Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's all-round display after his brace in the 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace.
The England international broke the deadlock in the 47th minute at the Emirates Stadium with a fine lofted effort after collecting Santi Cazorla's expertly clipped pass.
Oxlade-Chamberlain made sure of the points by finishing a superb flowing move with a low driven strike under Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni on 73 minutes.
The feat was even more impressive considering it was his first league start since suffering a serious knee injury against Aston Villa on the opening day of the season.
Wenger deployed the 20-year-old in a central midfield role, and believes Oxlade-Chamberlain can have a future in that position despite largely being recognised as a winger.
"I always believed that he could play wide and central, he has proven me right today by scoring the goals," the Frenchman explained.
"But also the overall quality of his performance. It took him a while to get back because he was injured against Villa."
The win saw Arsenal move back to the top of the Premier League, and Oxlade-Chamberlain was thrilled to contribute.
He told Sky Sports: "It was nice to get the win today, it is always an amazing feeling to score a goal. I've been off the pitch for a while so it was nice to come back and help the team.
"It was a tough game but we knew that in the second half if we kept the tempo up we would get more opportunities and thankfully we did."

'A beautiful place for our son to die'
Relevant offers
As family and friends of Australian tennis coach Paul Arber gathered on a riverbank in Hamilton, the water that took his life flowed swiftly and silently by.
Mr Arber's loved ones, including his parents and the young boys he coached, held a ceremony next to the Waikato River where his body was found yesterday.
They cried, they hugged and they remembered in near silence.
Close friend Mark Sheppard said there was little doubt the person pulled from the water about 7.40am was Mr Arber.
"The guy's in black shorts, he's been missing four days, there's really not much doubt. It's 100 per cent."
He said Mr Arber's parents Richelle and Sam Arber felt their son "couldn't have wished for anywhere more beautiful" to spend his final moments.
Police have confirmed that the body found in the Waikato River yesterday was that of Australian tennis coach Paul Arber.
Detective Inspector Karl Thornton said a post-mortem examination indicated there were no suspicious circumstances in relation to his death and it has been referred to the coroner.
A Hamilton Girls' High School rowing crew found the body in the river near Anne St and principal Marie Gordon said they were being offered counselling.
Ms Gordon said the girls were distraught but "coped admirably" with the situation.
Hamilton woman Beth Lynch said she was walking her dog on the west side of the river when she heard the girls in the boat screaming.
"I thought one of them had fallen out of the boat but then I heard one of them yell out 'Oh my God, I've hit him, I've hit him,"' she said.
Lynch said she then saw a body floating swiftly down the river.
"I just feel so sorry for the girls in that boat, it's just horrible."
Mr Sheppard said the discovery of his friend's body was the worst possible outcome.
"I think we've been building ourselves up to it for the last four days," he said.
"Now it's happened it's a shock, but we can't say we were surprised."
He wanted to make it clear that Mr Arber was in a "tranquil and happy" state when he went into the river.
"He was getting in touch with nature. It was 4am. He's actually gone into that river to have a swim.
"He hasn't been in the mental frame of mind to ascertain the dangers of the river or the treachery of the river, but what actually happened to Paul was an accident. It was 100 per cent an accident."
Mr Thornton said police received new information about Mr Arber's movements overnight Wednesday.
He was seen on CCTV footage at a service station in Clyde St at 1.30am on Sunday wearing only black shorts.
He was also seen in Galloway St at 10pm on Saturday and swimming in the river under Victoria Bridge at 4am on Sunday.
Mr Sheppard said Mr Arber's parents were grateful to the people of Hamilton, police and media for helping with the investigation.
They thought their son would have appreciated the river's natural beauty, Mr Sheppard said. "Obviously they're terribly upset about it, but Mr Arber and Mrs Arber, they just thought that the location where everything was found, as morbid as it might sound, they just thought he couldn't have wished for anywhere more beautiful. "In the worst possible outcome, they felt as happy as they could possibly be."

|Nelly Thompson was a happy housewife who did not care much about anything but keeping her house and raising the kids. But there was one thought which deprived her of her sleep. She had once seen Terry, her son, in the shower, and his sizeable cock was her obsession. One evening she could not keep in her lust anymore and simply pulled Terry's pants off! At first she was anxious whether Terry would like her mature body, but the boy was so passionate:

Federal Trade Commission:
Information on Proposed Regional Restructuring Effort
GGD-99-25: Published: Feb 16, 1999. Publicly Released: Mar 17, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-2637
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) proposal to restructure its regional operations, focusing on: (1) FTC's rationale for proposing the regional restructuring; (2) the process FTC followed in developing its restructuring proposal; (3) factors FTC used and could have used in deciding how to restructure; (4) other options to the proposed restructuring identified in prior FTC studies or by Boston and Denver regional officials; and (5) the views of selected stakeholders regarding the impact the proposed restructuring could have in the areas covered by the Boston and Denver regional offices.
GAO noted that: (1) FTC's rationale for developing its proposal to restructure its regional operations was to address its growing concerns about an increased and more complex workload in the face of limited staffing resources; (2) the proposal was to accommodate increased and more complex workloads for both its competition and consumer protection missions; (3) FTC's decisionmaking process for developing its proposal consisted of deliberations among headquarters officials during the early months of 1998; (4) the process for developing the current proposal did not include discussions with staff or managers in its Boston and Denver offices or with external stakeholders that work with these regions; (5) in its strategic plan, FTC identified some of these stakeholders as partners in helping to carry out its mission; (6) after FTC developed the restructuring proposal, but prior to submitting it to the Commissioners for approval, FTC consulted with concerned Members of Congress and officials of the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division about the proposal; (7) according to FTC's proposal, the decision to close the Boston and Denver regional offices and to retain the remaining eight offices was based on three factors--population, gross state product, and the percentage of consumer fraud cases FTC filed in federal courts within each region; (8) according to FTC headquarters officials, FTC also considered staff expertise and geographic location as factors for retaining offices; (9) FTC officials said that FTC used geographic location as a principal factor in deciding where it would locate the three antitrust centers; (10) FTC staff from the Boston and Denver offices and GAO's review of FTC documents identified other factors--productivity, future population growth, and cost--that FTC could have used in making its decision to restructure regional operations; (11) FTC presented a single approach for restructuring its regional operations because it considered other options to be impractical or unrealistic; (12) concerning consumer protection matters, most of the external stakeholders who expressed a view said that they believed the closures would have a negative impact; (13) their primary concerns were: (a) FTC staff from different regions of the country would not be able to devote the time to or did not have knowledge of regional issues; and (b) FTC would not be able to adequately replace the service and assistance provided by the FTC Boston and Denver regional offices; and (14) Boston and Denver FTC officials said they believed consumer protection and competition matters would be negatively affected.

In some cities, vast, wine warehouse-bistros are as common as jammy merlots, but South Beach was notably lacking until friends Philippe Buchbinder and Jean-Luc Oizan Chapon opened Wine Depot & Bistro 555 in October.
The clearly marked, geographically organized collection of bottles includes some 400 labels. France, of course, is well represented, from a 2007 Chateau Haut Beausejour from St. Estéphe ($26) to a 2001Chateau Cheval Blanc Premier Grand Cru from St. Émilion ($425).
A trophy Opus One 2007 is $195, but most bottles are $10 to $30, with loads of New World offerings. There are plenty of $6-$8 by-the-glass options for those who want to sample (half-bottles would be a welcome addition).
A dozen Provencal rosés and champagnes in regular and large-format bottles are perfect for our climate and the menu. Perhaps best of all—besides the free parking -- is the sliding corkage: $7.50 for bottles under $30, $15 for pricier picks.
The idea is that customers walk in, peruse the store and choose a bottle to have with their meal or take home.
"Here all the restaurants are very traditional," says Oizan Chapon, former COO of Club Med. "I wanted to do something more casual, more New Yorky."
A single-sided, laminated menu offers simple crostini and sandwiches including a well-executed croque monsieur, house-made foie gras terrines and patés, charcuterie samplers and an exceptional octopus provencal with thinly shaved fennel, dried tomatoes and olives.
Perky shrimp sautéed in saffron-tinged butter with slivers of serrano ham and a simple pan con tomate we paired with tempranillo make a good showing for the Spanish. Most evenings, a friendly sommelier dispenses advice as he works his way through a stark, white, windowless space that grows prettier with each sip.
Mixed greens are elevated in the Bistro salad by toasted crostini topped with warm crottin de chavignol, a deliciously nutty, hard-rind goat cheese that works beautifully with the light balsamic vinaigrette, sweet roasted tomatoes and candied baby onions.
Speaking of cheese, more than a dozen well-tended international selections are served on various-size boards ($12-$20) with grapes, toasted walnuts and rustic, perfectly chewy French bread.
If you've come for a meal, the way to go seems to be the blackboard specials. A fantastic plate of herb-encrusted halibut with curried couscous was a winner, as was a fine tuna tataki and, at lunch, roasted chicken shredded over lightly dressed greens.
Desserts on one occasion included a fig tartlet with a crisp, buttery crust and a light dusting of sugar that was the finest I've sampled. Nutella mousse and an apple tart are satisfying if not life-changing.
The personable owners are incredibly hospitable, but the young staff seems blasé. I begged my waitress for the check three times one night because of an urgent call from home, but still waited nearly 20 minutes. ("I forgot," she mumbled.)
On each visit, I have run into European friends who seem to have set up permanent camp. "Let's just keep it a secret," said one.
I doubt we can do that for very long. This is one great neighborhood find.

Toronto writer speaks to the Toronto Star about her new book, Closer: Notes...
TORONTO - It was about as ugly a win as you can get.
Toronto starter Mark Buehrle fell trying to throw a pitch, balking in a run. Closer Casey Janssen didn't finish the ninth. Even Rogers Centre couldn't make up its mind, opening and then closing the dome.
When the dust had settled, the Blue Jays had defeated the lowly Texas Rangers 9-6 Sunday, securing the series win over the worst club in the majors.
The teams combined for 27 hits. But it was hardly a precision batting display.
Texas left nine men on base while going 4-for-15 with runners in scoring position. Toronto stranded eight and went six-for-13 with runners in scoring position.
Melky Cabrera answered a Texas comeback with a leadoff homer in the seventh inning and singled home two more runs in the eighth to lead the Jays.
Cabrera gave Toronto a 6-5 lead when he sent reliever Neftali Feliz's third pitch of the day deep to centre field. It was the left-fielder's 12th home run of the season, delighting the crowd of 36,011 on a 23-degree day.
One inning later, Munenori Kawasaki made it 7-5 with an RBI single after Toronto loaded the bases with one out on three singles. Then Cabrera slammed a single to right-centre to bring home Anthony Gose and Jose Reyes.
Toronto (51-49) has now won seven of the last eight completed series against Texas (39-59) at Rogers Centre.
Perhaps more importantly, the Toronto offence woke out of its slumber. The nine runs were the most by the Jays since they scored 14 on June 20 in Cincinnati.
Toronto, which had lost its last three series, also notched its first multi-homer game since July 2.
"We came to life today," said manager John Gibbons, who noticed a change in attitude early in the game.
"I felt a little more energy in the dugout. The guys seemed a little more relaxed, some funny comments. They've been grinding it pretty hard lately. It's been wearing on them."
Janssen, recovered from a stomach ailment, gave up three hits and a run in a nervous ninth and was replaced by Aaron Loup with two outs and men on first and second. The left-hander finally ended it by inducing former Jay J.P. Arencibia to pop out on a 3-and-2 pitch for his fourth save.
"I just didn't see that crispness coming out there," Gibbons said of Janssen, who converted 14 of 16 save opportunities in the first half of the season.
Left-hander Brett Cecil, coming on in the eighth with no outs and a man on second, snuffed out an earlier Rangers threat.
Cabrera went 3-for-5 and has now hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games and 23 of his last 28. He also made a fine catch in left field, snagging the ball at his shoe top.
"I just think the all-star break did him wonders," said Gibbons. "He's out there every day. It did most guys some good. He just needed to refresh a little bit. His hand, speed, bat speed looks a little bit better. That's the key to hitting, if you get a good swing. "
Buehrle did not look fresh as he went six innings in his eighth unsuccessful attempt to record a win since June 1.
"He was a little off," said Gibbons.
"It's too bad he hasn't had a win in so long," he added. "Because he's definitely pitched well enough to have a few more under his belt. But that's the way baseball is sometimes. There's no justice in this business."
The day wasn't all bad for Buehrle. He picked off two Rangers and is now five shy of tying Andy Pettitte for most career pickoffs (105). Plus he was headed to the Tim McGraw show after the game.
Todd Redmond (1-4) got the win for one inning in relief of Buehrle while Feliz (0-1) was tagged with the loss.
Down 5-2, the Rangers had rallied for three runs in the sixth to tie the score as the bottom of the order loaded the bases. The Buehrle balk and a Daniel Robertson two-RBI single made it a whole new ball game.
"That'll make the bloopers," said Gibbons.
Buehrle, who called it "embarrassing," said he went down because his cleat caught. He would have tried to throw the ball at the plate but was more concerned about not hurting himself going down.
"Obviously I haven't been as sharp as I want to be the last times I've been out. It hasn't been really that good. I don't know. Just a couple of those days. Don't want to have them but they're going to come in the course of season and (I) just need to turn it around."
Robertson, filling in for the injured Alex Rios, drove in a career-high four runs for the Rangers.
"Every time we scored, we just couldn't stop them," sad Texas manager Ron Washington, whose team's winning percentage slipped under .400 to .398.
"We've got to have some shutdown innings. We just couldn't get any shutdown innings after we put runs on the board. That's the one thing we certainly have to work hard to correct."
Earlier, catcher Dioner Navarro homered for Toronto and Reyes drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in a game that saw both teams with plenty of chances to keep the scoreboard turning over.
It was a no-decision for Buehrle, who has posted an 0-5 record in his last eight outings to drop his record to 10-6. And this after reaching the 10-win mark faster than ever before in his career.
He gave up five runs on eight hits with five strikeouts and three walks in his 449th consecutive start, the longest active streak in the majors.
The left-hander, who came into the game with a 13-5 record in 20 career starts against the Rangers, made life difficult for himself in the second, third and fourth by putting the leadoff man on with two walks and a single.
But, two runs aside in the third, he cleaned up after himself until stepping into it again in the sixth.
Despite winning the series opener 5-1 Friday, the Rangers have been in a free fall for a while. They came into the game having lost nine of 10 and are now 2-14 in July, the fewest wins for any team in the majors.
However you stack them, the numbers are shocking. Texas has lost 16 of 18 and 24 of 28.
One explanation: Texas has used more players (51) and pitchers (30) than any other team this season. And the Rangers lead the majors in use of the disabled list (21) and current players on the DL (14). That explains the 15 rookies on the active roster.
Texas starter Nick Tepesch lasted 4 1/3 innings, giving up five runs on nine hits.
The Jays open a four-game homestand against the Boston Red Sox on Monday. Texas heads to New York to play the Yankees.

Pershing Square Capital Management's winning streak continued this week, and has the hedge fund up about 30% on the year.
The New York-based hedge fund, up 27.2% through July, added to those gains with the news that Burger King Worldwide would buy Canadian doughnut chain Tim Hortons in a tax-inversion deal. BK shares soared, earning Pershing Square in excess of $200 million.
Pershing Square engineered Burger King's return to the public markets in 2012 through a reverse-merger with its Justice Holdings blank-check company. The hedge fund owns a nearly 11% stake in BK.
Other winners for Pershing Square this year have been Allergan Inc., Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Herbalife Inc.

Open thread: Sunday morning talking heads
posted at 8:01 am on December 22, 2013 by Allahpundit
Unsurprisingly, after a week that saw a federal judge slam the metadata program as "almost Orwellian" and Obama's handpicked surveillance review panel call for major changes, most of the Sunday shows are all in on the NSA this morning. A member of the review panel, former acting CIA director Mike Morrell, is the star guest on "Face the Nation." Expect some tough questions on whether he has any firm evidence that mass surveillance of this sort is actually foiling terror plots. (Spoiler alert: No.)
If you're bored with Snowdenpalooza, there's always Mike Huckabee on "Fox News Sunday." Between the Phil Robertson suspension, the rulings on gay marriage in New Mexico and Utah, and the rumors about another presidential run, this may well be the most Huckabean news cycle ever. The ball's all teed up; all he has to do is swing. The full line-up is at Politico.

Yesterday the 2014 National Defense Authorization Act was fast-tracked through the Senate, with no time for discussion or amendments. And you know, its Christmastime, so they just passed it so that they could recess for the holidays. The new version of the NDAA has already been quietly passed by the House of Representatives.
It authorizes massive spending, including $527 billion in base defense spending for the current fiscal year, funding for the war in Afghanistan, and funding for nuclear weapons programs.
The indefinite detention allowed by the original NDAA is still here, and it's actually worse now, because there are provisions that will make it easier for the government to target those who disagree. Section 1071 outlines the creation of the "Conflict Records Research Center", where the unconstitutionally obtained information that the NSA has collected is compiled and shared with the Department of Defense. The information, called in the wording "captured records," can be anything from your phone records, emails, browsing history or posts on social media sites.

Homeowner's fury after police release ANOTHER intruder because he was DRUNK and had taken drugs
- The intruder was reportedly drunk and high on horse tranquiliser ketamine
- He twice tried to break into the home of a 52-year-old disabled man at 3am
- Homeowner was offered £10 compensation following the break-in
- This week we reported a similar incident when police in Kent released suspected burglar because he was drunk
Police have let another home intruder walk free on the grounds he was drunk and high on drugs when he broke in to a disabled man's house at 3.30am.
John Pearson was woken by his dog barking and was horrified when he realised a stranger had forced his way into his conservatory.
The 59-year-old, who suffers from degenerative disc disease in his spine, chased the younger man out of his semi-detached house and called the police.
Anger: Homeowner John Pearson, who is registered disabled, chased the intruder from his home at 3.30am
Alarmingly, the intruder returned minutes later and tried to get back in but was caught by the police who escorted him off the property in Sturminster Newton, Dorset.
Mr Pearson said when he called the police the next day he was shocked to learn they were taking no further action against the man because he was drunk and was on drugs at the time.
It is the second similar case involving an intruder escaping prosecution on the basis that they were intoxicated at the time they entered a stranger's house.
Mr Pearson, a computer programme engineer, claims he was told by officers the man had mistaken the house for his own.
Earlier this week we told how police released another drunk intruder who had broken into the home of Tim Ferris, 53
But it is thought the suspect lives in a village nine miles away, although he is believed to have family living about a mile from Mr Pearson's home in Sturminster Newton.
Earlier this week, estate agent Tim Ferris, 53, told of his fury after he trapped a suspected burglar inside his home near Maidstone, Kent, only for the police to later let the man go because he was drunk.
On that occasion, Kent police had seemingly accepted the man's explanation that he had drunkenly mistaken Mr Ferris' house for his own.
Mr Pearson, who was offered £10 compensation following the break in, said he fears there is a worrying trend of people getting away with minor offences on the basis they are drunk.
He said: 'I think people are getting away with things just because they are have been drinking and taking drugs. This is a pattern we are seeing more of.
'If someone was to swear at a police officer they would be arrested but it now seems to me that if you enter someone's property, you get a lift home so long as you have been drinking.'
Mr Pearson lives with his wife Lindsey, their 14-month old son and a 15-year-old foster child.
He said his intruder, who was aged in his 20s, had damaged a wooden fence to climb into his back garden before using a dog flap to enter the property.
Mr Pearson said: 'I came downstairs at about 3.30am when my dog started growling. I was about to go into the kitchen when I saw the man in my conservatory.
'I went out there and started shouting at him and he ran off, so I chased him but couldn't get very far as I'm registered disabled and can't run well.
'I phoned the police and woke up my wife and as I was talking on the phone he reappeared at the back door and tried to get in again, my wife was terrified.
Mr Pearson, 59, who was offered £10 compensation, said he was shocked to learn
police were taking no further action against the man because he was
drunk and was on drugs at the time
'I flew outside and he ran off again and straight into the police.
'But when I spoke to them the next day I was appalled to find out he wasn't going to be charged.
'They said he was on ketamine and alcohol and that he thought my house was his own and didn't know what he was doing. They said it wasn't worth charging him.'
Since the incident in February, Mr Pearson has been offered £10 in compensation
from the intruder via the police as part of a 'community resolution' scheme.
Mr Pearson refused the gesture.
A spokeswoman for Dorset police said: 'We dealt with this incident as criminal damage as the level of crime met the criteria for community resolution.
'The level of crime was not of that to be dealt with through the court.
'Mr Pearson was offered £10 in compensation from the man through the police, and the compensation amount is determined on each individual case.
'An inspector who has dealt with this matter spoke to Mr Pearson very recently and at length.
'He explained to him why the decision was made for a community resolution to the crime and why it was not appropriate to charge the offender.
'Mr Pearson was satisfied with the explanation and did not want to pursue any further complaint.'

Homes evacuated after fire in Somerset
Crews have spent the night tackling a fire at a furniture warehouse in Chard. They were called to the building in East Street just after 8pm yesterday evening.
There were gas cylinders inside so a 200m cordon was put in place and residents were moved out of neighbouring properties. There was also asbestos involved so decontamination has taken place.
The building has been 100% damaged by fire. Firefighters are still at the scene but the incident has been scaled down.
Dozens head down giant water slide in Chard
A giant water slide has been set up in Chard town centre.
During the course of the day up to 300 hundred people are expected to head down it.
The event was the brainchild of Mayor Jenny Kenton, who's hoping the slide will help put Chard on the map.
Money raised from the event will go to the Mayor's five charities – Chard Museum, Chard and Crewkerne After Stroke Care, Chard Carers Support Group, Chard Town Team and Chard Area Youth Committee.
The event replicates an event in Bristol earlier this year, which saw people travel from all over the country to take part.
The slide is open for everyone over the age of six. Those under 1.20 metres tall will be able to head down later in the afternoon when the slide is shortened to allow younger children to take part.

I'm on assignment, technically on break from blogging, but wanted to briefly comment on a post Wednesday by Noah Schactman at Danger Room. In it, Schactman said it took him "exactly 23 minutes to get Jason "Armchair Generalist" Sigger and Matt "Mountain Runner" Armstrong signed up" for the Pentagon's blogger's conference calls that I've been writing about. "And neither," he adds, "is what you would call a fan of this administration."
It's great that Sigger and Armstrong will be joining in, because up until now, participants in the conference calls have been broadly sympathetic towards the Bush administration's view of national security matters, and the conference calls have thus far served as a vehicle for the Pentagon to communicate with a largely friendly audience. But if the conference calls do in fact become a freewheeling forum, it would be contrary to the clearly defined original goals of the Pentagon public affairs office. As I've discussed in prior posts, the blogger calls are part of a broader program that is run largely by the administration's political appointees. One of the memos I cited said the program would be "synchronize[d] . . . with the military and with policy."
In focusing on the blogger calls I've unintentionally obscured components of the Pentagon's program that are especially troubling: briefings for handpicked civilian defense and national security analysts, retired military officials, and others who are fed talking points and story lines that the administration wants to get out. Unlike with the blogger conference calls, there is apparently no public disclosure of who is taking part in those briefings and no transcripts of what transpires.
When the Pentagon opens up those components to public scrutiny, I'll stop criticizing the program.

How pro-oil Louisiana politicians have shaped American environmental policy
i. stand with israel
I listen to a lot of conservative talk radio. Confident masculine voices telling me the enemy is everywhere and victory is near — I often find it affirming: there's a reason I don't think that way. Last spring, many right-wing commentators made much of a Bloomberg poll that asked Americans, "Are you more sympathetic to Netanyahu or Obama?" Republicans picked the Israeli prime minister over their own president, 67 to 16 percent. There was a lot of affected shock that things had come to this. Rush Limbaugh said of Netanyahu that he wished "we had this kind of forceful moral, ethical clarity leading our own country"; Mark Levin described him as "the leader of the free world." For a few days there I yelled quite a bit in my car.
The one conservative radio show I do find myself enjoying is hosted by Dennis Prager. At the Thanksgiving dinner of American radio personalities (Limbaugh is your jittery brother-in-law, Michael Savage is your racist uncle, Hugh Hewitt is Hugh Hewitt) Dennis Prager is the turkey-carving patriarch trying to keep the conversation moderately high-minded. While Prager obviously doesn't like liberals — "The gaps between the left and right on almost every issue that matters are in fact unbridgeable," he has said — he often invites them onto his show for debate, which is rare among right-wing hosts. Yet his gently exasperated take on the Obama–Netanyahu matchup was among the least charitable: "Those who do not confront evil resent those who do."

*Women's rights activists are calling on Reebok to drop Rick Ross as a spokesman after he appeared to boast about using a date rape drug with a woman in "U.O.E.N.O. (You Ain't Even Know It)."
Featuring in the single from Rocko, Ross is under fire for the controversial line: "Put molly (slang for pure ecstasy) all in her champagne/ She ain't even know it/ I took her home and I enjoyed that/ She ain't even know it."
The rhyme has already prompted protesters to sign a petition on Change.org in a bid to force Ross to issue a public apology for seemingly glorifying violence against women, but he spoke out against the criticism on Thursday, insisting the uproar was all over "a misunderstanding" because he would never condone rape.
However, Ross failed to apologize, and members of anti-sexism group UltraViolet are now urging Reebok to take a stand and cancel his contract as a celebrity representative.
Nita Chaudhary, co-founder of UltraViolet, says, "We are appalled that Reebok would pay a spokesperson who brags about enjoying drugging and raping a woman.
"Reebok devotes a lot of time, energy and money to marketing to women – and now they are paying a man who is literally bragging about raping us while absurdly insisting it can't possibly be rape if he doesn't use the word 'rape'. Reebok is apparently okay promoting rape culture, but when one out of five women are the victim of an attempted or completed rape, that has consequences."
The petition has already garnered more than 51,000 signatures within hours of launching online and UltraViolet demonstrators are planning to stage a protest outside Reebok's headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts next week if the company doesn't respond to their campaign.

Letter about Senator Miller and sand mining
Fri, May 10th, 2013
Posted in Rushford Letter to the Editor
Posted in Rushford Letter to the Editor
To the Editor,
Sen. Matt Schmit of Red Wing, working with Trout Unlimited, has proposed provisions to protect trout streams in Southeast Minnesota from damage resulting from frac sand mining. He wanted these provisions included in the Game and Fish Policy Bill, Senate File 796. Pristine cold water springs in our karst area create some of the best trout streams in the United States. Frac sand mining threatens to pollute this water, and disrupt the flow of springs in ways that would raise the water temperature. Death for our trout. Our state has invested millions in stocking and protecting these streams. Trout fishing has provided over a billion dollars in economic activity in the Driftless Area. These special provisions in SF 796 only apply to the Paleozoic Plateau, which is our part of the Driftless Area.
We live within a mile of an old quarry being considered for frac sand mining. It is at the head of a drainage system which feeds our springs and a stream which flows into Money Creek, a tributary of Root River. All of this is threatened because we have no state level standards to protect our region's trout streams. Sen. Schmit proposed: a mile setback from trout streams; a limit on how much groundwater frac sand facilities could use; and limiting mining to within 25 feet of the water table. DNR Commissioner Landwehr testified we need all of these provisions to protect the trout streams and groundwater. Despite this knowledge, Sen. Miller cast the deciding vote to kill these provisions. In talking to Senator Miller's office staff, I was told he needs more data before he would vote for the amendment. I listened online to the testimony given by DNR Commissioner Landwehr's, and a representative from Trout Unlimited which Senator Miller would have heard. I heard some very specific data.
It is time we, the concerned citizens who live here, are heard and taken seriously about having input to regulations on sand mining instead of just the sand mining industry. I listened to the sand mining representative say if the set backs are put into the regulations, that would stop sand mining. These regulations, put in place, would only relegate the sand mines to areas not as sensitive to its impact.
Call Sen. Miller at 651-296-5649, or email him at: firstname.lastname@example.com, to let him know you want him to protect his constituents, not frac sand special interests. This could be decided the week of May 6, so contact Senator Miller now.
Sincerely, Joan Redig
Rural Houston, MN

Abercrombie block seals the deal for Breakers
Relevant offers
For most of an epic Aussie NBL grand final series, Tom Abercrombie was playing with the handbrake on.
But with 23 seconds left in Tuesday night's decider he let it off just in time to make the biggest play of the night.
With all due respect to finals MVP CJ Bruton's pair of dagger three-pointers in the final two minutes, Abercrombie's defensive play that sealed the deal with 26 seconds left was more remarkable because it was so unexpected.
The springy swingman had been hampered by a serious ankle injury all through the finals. He sat game one out, was a bit-part player in game two, then finally was able to produce something more like his usual quota in the decider, finishing with 12 points, four boards, two assists and the block from heaven in the 79-73 Breakers victory.
The big play came after the Wildcats had closed a seven-point deficit to four, and with 29 seconds left forced a Cedric Jackson turnover that put Shawn Redhage in for what looked like a clear layup. The margin would have been two and game on again.
Instead, shrugging off the pain of an ankle that was getting increasingly worse, Abercrombie soared in from nowhere and blocked Redhage's gimme, and the Breakers were able to regain possession, and a second straight title.
"I think adrenaline just took over," Abercrombie said yesterday. "When you're that close to the finish line nothing is going to stop you.
"One of the things I really pride myself on is making those kind of plays. To do it in a situation like that was pretty awesome. He [Redhage] obviously thought I couldn't jump, but I still had a couple of little hops left in me.
"I didn't quite realise at the time the situation, or the impact it had, but looking back now it was a big play and I was happy I could help out."
Abercrombie said it had been a hugely "frustrating" finals series to be so handicapped by his ankle but he felt it was an experience he will learn from.
"Once I kind of accepted I wasn't going to be my usual self I was OK with that and found other ways to help the team out," he said.
Breakers assistant coach Dean Vickerman called it a "great moment" in the Abercrombie career. "To have his athleticism taken away, to be able to deal with the pain and manage that injury and do whatever he could to contribute, he'll remember that for a long time."
Abercrombie said this championship felt just as sweet as the first because of the adversity and the degree of difficulty this time round.
"There were plenty of obstacles thrown our way, and to meet Perth in the finals, the top two teams, it was how it was meant to be."
Abercrombie, who has re-signed with the Breakers for three more years, will begin preparations for a possible NBA summer league stint and the Olympic qualifying tournament with the Tall Blacks.

Had the pleasure of appearing on Eliot Spitzer's Viewpoint last night to talk about the hideous Eric Holder/Lanny Breuer HSBC settlement, in which the government elected not to push criminal prosecutions against bank officers who admitted to laundering billions of dollars in drug money. Spitzer was the first guy I thought of when I saw the softball settlement, so it was cool to hear the prosecutorial take on the deal. When I came home after the show, my wife laughed. "It's like you guys were fighting over who was more pissed off," she said.
