Autism and Environmental Health in China
Posted by Autism Speaks Director of Research for Environmental Science, Alycia Halladay, Ph.D.
To date, relatively few scientists are studying autism in China. Clearly the need there is great, for with its population of over a billion, we may be looking at millions of persons affected by autism. With this in mind, Autism Speaks partnered with China's Fudan University to convene a meeting of leading international experts in autism and children's health in Shanghai last week.
As part of this visit, I and development psychologist Alice Kau, Ph.D., of the National Institute for Child Health & Human Development, visited Xin Hua Hospital and its recently completed Shanghai Key Lab of Children's Environmental Health. Both are affiliated Shanghai's Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.
There we met the lab's executive director, Jun Jim Zhang, MD, Ph.D., and his colleagues. In recent years, they have been studying how exposure to heavy metals such as mercury and lead affects child development. Environmental lead contamination, a problem largely minimized in the United States, remains a widespread problem in China, owing to unsafe disposal of lead products including waste from lead battery plants.
The Shanghai Key Lab's affiliation with Xin Hua Hospital allows its scientists to collect blood samples at birth and throughout a child's development. Their lab is also collecting information on intellectual function and other developmental behaviors. Among their projects is the Shanghai Birth Cohort, which will recruit 100,000 pregnant women from hospitals throughout Shanghai and follow their children throughout adolescence.
To date, the researchers at Shanghai's Key Lab have been focusing their research on potential environmental causes of childhood asthma, sleep disorders and leukemia. Looking forward, they are keenly interested in expanding their research to include neurodevelopmental issues such as autism.
Thanks to our new collaboration, they will be participating in Autism Speaks Environmental Epidemiology of Autism Research Network. In doing so, they will be sharing their information with autism researchers in North America and elsewhere, even as they receive guidance on screening for autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Given the unique physical, chemical and psychosocial environment in China, we believe that this collaboration can greatly advance our understanding of the environmental and genetic risk factors that contribute to the development of ASD. We look forward to working with this wonderful research team to help solve the autism puzzle in China, North America, and around the world.

Solaris 11 SRU naming convention change
By Gerry Haskins-Oracle on Apr 12, 2013
We're tweaking the naming convention used by Oracle Solaris SRUs (Support Repository Updates) to use a 5-digit taxonomy.
For example, Oracle Solaris 184.108.40.206.0
The digits represent Release.Update.SRU.Build.Respin
For the above example, the old name would have been Oracle Solaris 11.1 SRU 6.4.
As with Oracle Solaris 10 and below, all bug fixes are putback to the tip of the source tree for Solaris 11, which is currently Solaris 11.1.x.y.z.
Therefore, these same SRUs are also the way to get fixes for systems installed with Oracle Solaris 11 11/11, in exactly the same way that Solaris 10 Kernel patches included code from all preceding Solaris 10 Updates.
As discussed in previously postings, systems should be updated to a later SRU, for example from Oracle Solaris 11 11/11 SRU13.4 to Oracle Solaris 184.108.40.206.0.
If you maintain a local Solaris Repository behind your firewall, both Solaris 11.1 and whichever subsequent SRUs you are interested in should be added to your Repo. This is because SRUs only contain the change delta relative to the preceding Solaris Update.
Solaris's long standing Binary Compatibility Guarantee coupled with the technical benefits of Image Packaging System (IPS) help to ensure a smooth update experience.

A total of 50 other people are being checked at area hospitals for complaints of injury. Two other people were transported for visible injuries.
The crash involved six school buses from Burke County that were going to Six Flags and a passenger car. At mile marker 98, just west of the Georgia Highway 11 exit, traffic began slowing for a lane closure about a half mile ahead.
As the buses slowed, one bus struck the rear of another, setting off a chain reaction crash. The passenger car was the last vehicle in the line and struck the rear of the sixth bus.
The crash remains under investigation by the GSP post in Monroe and the Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team.
News 12 has learned those on the bus are sixth and seventh grade students.
Some buses are expected to come back this afternoon around 4:30 p.m. Parents can pick up their students at Burke County Middle School. News 12 has a crew there and will have the latest on News 12 at 6 o'clock.
Initial report:
COVINGTON, Ga. -- News 12 has learned students from Burke County Middle School who were heading to Six Flags have been involved in a school bus accident in Newton County.
We are told those on board include students, a school board member and a principal.
According to school officials, the jaws of life were used to cut out one of the drivers. There is no word on his or her condition.
We're told the accident happened when lanes were reduced and the driver slammed on the brakes, causing a chain reaction.
The students were heading to the amusement park in Atlanta for performing well on the CRCT test.

St. Paul will take on Xavier, but it's only a scrimmage
The St. Paul and Xavier High varsity football game scheduled for Wednesday in Bristol will be classified as a scrimmage and not as a game.
According to Xavier athletic director Tony Jaskot, the scrimmage was set about three weeks ago. It was too late in the year to classify the matchup as a game that counted in each team's schedule.
Xavier is playing a 10-game schedule this season after its traditional game with Middletown High was ended by mutual agreement following the 2012 contest.
St. Paul had played Hamden Hall the past two years, but Hamden Hall pulled out of this year's matchup recently.
St. Paul had secured portable lights for the game, slated for 6:30 p.m.
Xavier, a Class LL school, is 7-3. St. Paul, a Class S school, is 6-4.
Jaskot and St. Paul coach Jude Kelly were college teammates at Southern Connecticut in the early 1970s.
"Jude felt that he didn't want to end the season like that and called to ask if we were able to scrimmage them," said Jaskot. "Jude is a friend of Xavier and (football coach) Sean Marinan knows him pretty well and was very receptive right from the get-go. By being a scrimmage and a practice, we can use a lot of kids."
Jaskot tried to get an out-of-state game scheduled last spring, but some teams only had an open date early in the calendar and not at season's end.

Curves International announces its 15th Annual Food Drive, "Feed the Need," that challenges Curves club members in the U.S. and Canada to meet a goal of 100,000 donations during the two week period of March 11-23.
Each club, including Curves of Sleepy Eye, is asking its members to donate bags of non-perishable food or cash to support their local community food bank. In addition, Curves of Sleepy Eye will waive the joining fee for new members who bring in a bag of non-perishable food or donate $30 to their local food bank during the two week period.
When combined donations from all Curves clubs reaches the goal of 100,000 donations, Curves International will donate 10 percent of March 2013 profits to "Blessings in a Backpack," a non-profit organization that ensures that impoverished elementary school children are fed on the weekends throughout the school year.
"This year's theme, "Feed the Need" really represents both what we want to accomplish with this year's food drive and what we do as a business," said Curves of Sleepy Eye owner Deb Moldaschel. "We want to help feed local families and school children who would otherwise go hungry on the weekends and we also want to "feed the need" of local women seeking a health and fitness program that fits their busy lifestyle."
Since its inception, the total contributions to local food banks from the annual Curves Food Drive exceed 75,000,000 pounds of food, according to Curves Vice President of Marketing Mike Raymond.
For more information about Curves of Sleepy Eye, located at 109 Main Street East, and the 2013 Curves Food Drive, contact a Curves of Sleepy Eye staff member at 507-794-5055 or email@example.com For more information about Curves, please visit www.curves.com.

(WOMENSENEWS)-- As a sole-breadwinning, married mother, I belong to a small but growing group. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports just 8 percent of American families rely exclusively on a woman's salary.
But as the primary breadwinner, I have more company. Close to 40 percent of U.S. working wives now outearn their husbands, with Bureau of Labor Statistics data revealing that in married-couple families where both the husband and wife receive a paycheck, 28.1 percent of the wives earn more than their husbands. And even though the mainstream media might lead you to believe all women are real housewives and that mothers in a modern family are omnipresent in their children's lives, the majority of mothers work outside the home.
So I've actually got plenty of company when you include me with the women who contribute some of the family income and are therefore at least partial breadwinners. Based on the same Bureau of Labor Statistics data, mothers are employed in 65.4 percent of married-couple families, contributing at least some of the family income.
It makes sense. Women have the means: we've been outnumbering men on college campuses for years and outpacing them when it comes to graduate degrees. We have the desire. A study from the Center for Work-Life Policy showed that at the start of their careers, 47 percent of young women claim to be "very ambitious." And we have the need. Women's participation in the labor force increased just over a percentage point since the start of the recession.
Today's women are working for much more than power and fulfillment. They're paying the mortgage, the grocery bills and the medical benefits. And if the rise in female breadwinners continues at the same pace it has in recent years, it's likely that in just a few years more families will be supported by women than by men.
Media, Research Attention
In recent years, there's been a slew of articles and research dedicated to the female breadwinner. We've been treated almost like mythical beings to be studied and figured out--you'd think we'd be better understood, as there are more than 23 million working mothers in this country. A Wall Street Journal article from July 2012 referred to the dynamic between female breadwinners and their spouses as the alpha woman versus beta male. Elle magazine, a few months earlier, was even more colorful, talking about how female "hunters" felt about "the stay-at-home schlub." And last year, New York magazine ran a feature story, a cautionary tale, about how breadwinning wives' "new financial muscle is causing havoc in the home." According to author Ralph Gardner Jr., shell-shocked husbands feel emasculated by their alpha wives.
I interviewed working women all over the country, at many different stages in their careers, in many different industries--not one of them mentioned a shell-shocked schlub-- and what I found is that their feelings about working and family are incredibly layered.
One night, over a few glasses of wine in the living room of a neighbor who is a research consultant, I spoke with six women, five of them the majority breadwinners for their families. These women were tired and busy, certainly, but they were comfortable in their own skin, were accepting of their roles and expressed no mothering guilt-- another common working-women narrative in the mainstream media.
The Only Concern
The only niggling concern several of them shared was their lack of freedom to pursue different career choices, mission-based work, as they described it, that might feed their souls more but pay them less than what they were currently earning. But all of them felt it was their own choices that had landed them in the breadwinner role, and I sensed no resentment.
One woman, a doctor who owns a private practice, even hinted at the frequency of sex she and her husband, a teacher, have. A recent intimate moment had taken place after her husband cleaned the dirty dinner pans that were her assigned responsibility one night.
The doctor better fits the description of the female breadwinner in Liza Mundy's book, "The Richer Sex: How the New Majority of Female Breadwinners Is Transforming Sex, Love and Family," than she does the one in Gardner's article. Mundy paints a much brighter future for breadwinning women and their spouses. She writes that ultimately women will have "the bargaining power they need to usher in a new age of fairness, complete the revolution, push us past the unhappy days of the so-called second shift, when so many men and women were mired in arguments over equity that always seemed to boil down to laundry and dishes." Hopefully, she's right. But first, some changes need to be made.
The reality of working women lies somewhere between Gardner and Mundy. There is no one standard profile of a female breadwinner; the lives of modern working women are complex and their path to becoming the breadwinner is rarely as they'd planned; in fact, it's highly likely it was never planned at all.

Accident injures Henderson County teen
Authorities say 15-year-old was riding sled being towed by truck
Published: Thursday, October 31, 2013 at 7:47 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 31, 2013 at 7:47 p.m.
A 15-year-old boy riding on a farm sled near Holbert Mountain Road was seriously injured around 6:15 p.m. Thursday, authorities said.
A family friend identified the injured teen as Tyler Clugh. Pam Kuxhouse said Tyler was playing with friends, being towed on the sled behind a four-wheeler in the nice weather Thursday afternoon.
Kuxhouse said the sled struck a fence at Double Springs Baptist Church on Holbert Mountain Road in the southern part of Henderson County, near the South Carolina state line.
Capt. Frank Stout of the Henderson County Sheriff's Office said a medical transport helicopter from South Carolina was called to airlift the boy for treatment. Kuxhouse said the teenager was thought to have a possible lung injury and was being evaluated at Greenville Memorial Hospital.
Green River Volunteer Fire & Rescue was called to the scene to assist the teenager, but a Green River firefighter contacted by the Times-News was not able to discuss the extent of the young man's injuries.

I've been using a garmin edge 750 for a while now and it's fine but I'm sort of disappointed with the cadence sensor. When I upload my data to garmin connect it looks like in the picture
and this is a good one! sometimes all I see are "spikes".
I thought my sensor was defective but then I've been looking at other people's charts in garmin connect and most look the same (a minority look fine). The garmin training center shows spikes too. I tried other software but some (like endomondo) won't even show cadence, and others are just like garmin, spikes everywhere.
Is there something I could do? I tried tweaking the sensor position etc but doesn't seem to change a bit. any idea?
Hi, my name's Jeane and I am living in Spain. Therefor my English is not too good. Sorry for this.
I practice road cycling and I have a very simple speedometer "Cateye".
My intention is to change it for anothe much more better, with pulsometer, slope meter, cadence sensor and so on.
Would you advice me about a good brand/model with a good relation features/price??
I know Cateye an Polar, not eny more.
Thaks for your reply.
Respect to your problem, I'm not precisely an expert, but why don't you contact with Garmin customer support.
Jason, I had similar issues too and after calling Garmin several times I gave up. Then, not long ago I've found a free app that amazingly fixed all my problems. Take a look at their page on cadence: http://www.sportietech.com/CadencePrecision.aspx
I'm using that app for everything now - it's also integrated with garmin connect (takes some fiddling) but can read straight from the garmin as well. You get lot of data and charts not available on connect, plus a map colored for speed which is beautiful, etc...
Give it a try, maybe it will solve your problems as well
that page looks absolutely jaw-dropping! I get charts like that all the time and I was about to give up too. I'm gonna give it a try with my data and let you know!
YES! It works! here is the same activity in the SportieTech Studio:
I tried a few more (worse) and they all end up very clean and as they say clearly related to heart rate and altitude...
The site is very information-rich, as you said. I've tried a few web apps before, but they didn't compare with garmin connect: small charts, very little data, etc. None could solve my problem.
The Studio is much better than everything else I tried. These guys are from another planet! Can't believe it's free
Thanks David, you the man!
Hi Jeane,
your english is fine! I'm using a Garmin Edge, you can find several models on the market. I had a few issues with spikes in the chart, but thanks to David (see below) I got them solved. If you get a garmin, I recommend that you use the sportietech software (it's free!)
The spikes are real. I agree that the presentation is not very useful, but the times that it goes to zero are either when you stop peddling or when you are actually stopped.
I ride a fixed gear a lot, and when I do, the correlation between my cadence and wheel speed is just about perfect using Garmin Connect, as it should be, and the data is relatively noise free. The filtering being discussed here makes the chart more presentable, but it is also showing average data over a fairly long period of timie.
I use Strava as my primary record, and it allows you to display "Segments" of your ride; you can define a segment to be, for example, a one mile climb. When you expand the data this way, the plot is much more clear and useful - I have used it, for example, to see what happens to my cadence as I stand up on a climb (don't, if you are trying to set a record for that climb!) or climbing in different gears.
Chris: no, in my case those spikes are not real. I know I didn't stop. The only time I stopped was at 15 miles, because it'a a back-and-forth over a hill, and I had to turn around. Besides, even if I stop for a fraction of a second I don't want to get a spike in my chart.
If you take the time to go through their paper, you'll see that it's garmin connect that's averaging data. I have an engineering background, and I understand the concept of digital filter. A filter is not an average. Anyway, I'm happy with my new charts, and I can always use garmin connect as a reference.
I tried strava: they actually remove some of those spikes but it is a very visible averaging as everything gets sketchy. Plus, I have to pay to use it seriously. Plus, it shows very little data compared to the sportietech freebie. Thanks, but I like David suggestion more :-).
Hello Jason,
I have used a Garmin Edge 305 for almost 2 years now. I have also been using a "free" software program called "Sporttracks". It is currently available under Version 3.???? which you have to pay for if you like it. The last "FREE" version was 2.1.3478 and you should still be able to find that. Additonally, you will find "plugins" for Version 3, but scroll all the way to the bottom and you will see a link for all the plugins for version(s) 2.
Anyway, this is a great program. Now it downloads all the info from your Garmin and shows Heart Rate, Pace, Cadence, Calories, Min and Max heart rate and much more. With plugins, you can add all sorts of other data and create charts, etc.
Now...as far as cadence-I have used other programs as well as Sporttracks and as far as I can tell, it's common to see spikes. Some programs have a "smoothing" filter that can be set and that helps to even out some. Now I use a "plugin" that calculates power and you will see spikes there too. If you're using a later garmin model, then this program should automatically pickup power and represent it in a graph. You will see lots of spikes there too.
I'm not sure that this is an issue since all kinds of factors like road surface, bumps, etc., can affect all of these things with no perceptible feeling in change to you.
Anyway, these programs are designed to give you an overall result of your ride and if you compare them one against the other it will show you your progress over time. That's what we want anyway....is to see how much we are improving over a given period of time.
Below is a saved image from a plug in called "Training Load" and I use this to monitor my progress especially when I am gearing up for a ride. At any rate remember that these programs are tools and should be used as they were intended..to monitor and record. Have fun..don't stress over the small stuff.
Nice response as it is all a matter of personal preference. I'm a techie myself and get frustrated a lot when something doesn't or can't give me what I want. I hated Garmin Connect since I just couldn't extrapolate enough information from it to give me the feeling of satisfaction I was looking for. It looks as though Sportietech has actually gone the extra mile to bring us what we want...a more readable, useful application that can be shared with others and among platforms. Nice...very nice idea. So, we all know that as technology progresses, what we expect to see will become more prevalent for us.
I'm going to try Sportietech for myself. It looks rather interesting.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Saturday, Sept. 15, 2012
EVANS, Ga. -- It was an emotional day as reality began to set in for the family of Makenna Arildsen.
Her grandfather says she just lit up a room every time she walked through the door, and he still can't believe she's gone.
"She was a joy in my life. She was my buddy. I don't know what I'm gonna do without her," Sidney Kirkendohl said.
Words from a devastated grandfather after 12-year-old Makenna was hit by a car Friday afternoon.
He says she and her sister were trying to cross Washington Road to get a drink at Walmart when the accident happened.
"I'm not even mad about what they were doing. It's just I wish they hadn't done it, but they're kids -- 12 and 13," he said.
"It was just so out of her character to go somewhere without permission, too. Just so out of her character," said close friend Fred Street.
One thing that was in character for this little girl -- horses.
"She had that same love of horses that I did," Street said.
"Papa Fred" is what she called Fred, and he was the one who taught her how to ride.
He and her grandfather worked at Fred's Stylon for more than 30 years together.They say one horse stole her heart the way she stole theirs.
"I had a horse that was 34 years old. Her name was Brown Sugar, and [Makenna] fell in love with Brown Sugar," Street said.
"She'd call me most of the time on Sunday, usually every Sunday and say, can we see you today? And of course, I knew that meant go to the farm," Kirkendohl said.
Even though Makenna won't be calling the farm anymore, Kirkendohl says he hopes her accident is a warning to other kids who may try the same thing.
"If the children and her classmates will take note on how dangerous it is, these situations are and do what her parents tell you," he said.
With broken hearts, this family is trying to make sense of what happened, but one thing gives them comfort.
"I know she is in heaven," her grandfather said.
"She's riding him -- riding Brown Sugar now," Street said tearfully.
The driver of the car was a 54-year-old woman. No charges will be filed against the driver.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Jan. 21, 2013
MARTINEZ, Ga. (WRDW) -- If you've been holding onto your old computer because you're worried about polluting the environment or risking your personal information, the wait is over.
A quick scan around the back parking lot of Computer Exchange and you might think you went back into time. Old desktops, laptops and TVs are piled on a conveyor belt.
"What you are looking at is a typical morning of recycled," said Charles Kelly with Computer Exchange.
Mitch Ragand dropped off an old laptop and desktop.
"Here they are recycling them versus putting them in the trash where they go in the landfill," the customer said.
He's brought at least 10 computers here to be recycled over the years.
A few years ago, Kelly partnered with Georgia Tech to come up with a safe way to help folks in the CSRA recycle their computers.
"So we get tons of this at all three of our locations and when I say tons, I mean literally tons," Kelly said.
"In the past, this would go in the landfill," Kelly said.
He says it's not only dangerous to the environment but could also be a danger to you.
Many people store personal information such as Social Security numbers on their computers. Technicians at Computer Exchange either destroy hard drives with a drill or give it back to the customer before recycling the computer.
Computer Exchange is paid by the recycling company for your old computers. However, the company breaks even once they factor in storage and hauling fees.
The cost for recycling an old computer is free for customers.
You can recycling your old electronics at any of the following locations during opening hours:
- 3206 Peach Orchard Road, Augusta, GA 30906
- 404 East Martintown Road. North Augusta, SC 29841
- 3835 Washington Road, Suite B, Martinez, GA 30907

Last-Minute Valentine's Day Gifts For Your Girls
In general, don't say anything if your gripe is superficial. Maybe he doesn't make much money, or has a lame job, or wears football jerseys nonstop, or is not the best looking guy. Whatever it is, that's no reason to talk your pal into dumping him.
The most dangerous things in a relationship are guys who aren't healthy, confident, or available. Any addiction, excessive jealousy, or, obviously, other relationships (i.e. he's married) are reasons for concern.

I used to be able to play MOV files using this media server. I've kept up with my upgrades and now they won't work. When using MEncoder, I get the first frame of video to appear along with the first blurp of audio, and then it's stuck on permanent pause (the PAUSE icon is actually on the screen). Pushing play does nothing. Trying other transcoders does nothing. Disabling the auto switch to TSMuxer does nothing. Upgrading to the latest TSMuxer does nothing.

What's NewGet the latest news on St. Mary's Hospital »
It started with our Hands on Hearts program…
Happily celebrating their anniversary with an afternoon of golf, Kay and Rob had no idea they were about to become a news story. Suddenly and completely without warning, Kay collapsed on the green. She was not breathing, had no pulse, and was completely unresponsive. Isolated and without a cell phone, her husband suddenly remembered something amazing.
He had seen a brief television story about compression-only CPR. The instructions were simple enough that just that brief glimpse taught him what he needed to save his wife's life. He kept precious blood circulating to her brain until medical professionals arrived. Today, Kay is fully recovered. They celebrated their next anniversary on the same golf course—glad to count themselves as two of the thousands of people who learned about compression-only CPR through the "Hands on Hearts" program offered by St. Mary's Hospital.

With 35 gallons of forest green paint, 150 paint brushes, 75 rollers and nearly 200 of my new colleagues and their family members, Silicon Valley Bank gave Willow Oaks Elementary School in Menlo Park some needed TLC.
Willow Oaks Elementary serves more than 700 students in grades K-8 from East Palo Alto and eastern Menlo Park. Eighty-five percent of the students speak English as a second language. Ninety-five percent of the student body receives free or reduced lunch. The school works to promote a partnership between home, school and community, despite its limited resources. Willow Oaks has to be creative with its space to help facilitate learning for the students. With limited financial resources, the school relies heavily on community groups and volunteers for help. One of the Willow Oaks teachers told us that seeing small improvements at the school makes students feel cared for, parents feel respected, and teachers feel supported by the surrounding communities.
With that in mind, volunteers from Silicon Valley Bank's offices in the Bay Area came together on a Saturday in October to help refresh and update Willow Oaks school. Throughout 2013, Silicon Valley Bank has been serving the communities near our offices around the world to celebrate our 30th year in business. So far, SVB volunteers have contributed nearly 3,000 hours specifically to families and children and approximately 7,000 hours in total as part of our anniversary campaign. One-third of our community service events have been held at schools.
At Willow Oaks, SVB volunteers split up into groups to complete various projects around the campus. The school is working hard to create an environment that promotes safety, and since it is located in an area that has historically been prone to gang activity, giving the school a fresh coat of paint was on the top of our priority list. All that green paint covered 93 doors and 8 wheelchair ramps. The clean-up and updates our volunteers completed, allowed us to give students and staff a renewed sense of pride in their school.
The "30 Years |30 Causes" campaign was developed after Silicon Valley Bank crowd sourced ideas from its employees to celebrate its 30th anniversary. The company will host 30 community service events around the world near each of its offices in 2013. A listing of SVB's 30 Years | 30 Causes events, as well as photos, will be updated at svb.com/svb-30-years/ and facebook.com/SVBFinancialGroup Follow @SVB_Financial's community service initiatives on Twitter with #SVB30. Points of Light is assisting SVB with the development and execution of these events worldwide.

Broker Note Briefing: Monday
European equity markets were supported by perky Chinese manufacturing data Monday, as investors kept a close eye on Greece, after details of its upcoming debt buyback were announced.
Against this more cheerful background Deutsche Bank busied itself with the big oil firms. It downgraded Royal Dutch Shell, but upgraded Total name="undefined"] to "buy".
On Total, the brokerage said:
"Trading at the low end of its 10-year relative range and with a secure 6% plus dividend yield offering absolute support, we see the shares as presenting an attractive risk/reward balance ahead of the broadest and potentially most exciting 2013 exploration program among the European majors."
As far as Shell is concerned, Deutsche Bank said that after a disappointing 2012, it now looks to a stronger performance in 2013, not least as full cash is delivered from its various megaprojects.
Meanwhile Bank of America Merrill Lynch upgraded Schroders reflecting an improving tone for asset gathering, especially in retail.
The brokerage said:
"We have liked Schroders as a business for some time, but now believe that the combination of strong positioning and a supportive backdrop outweighs the disadvantage of an over-padded balance sheet."
It s analysts added that while there is still strong demand for fixed income, equity flows have bounced. This could well continue into 2013, providing a helpful backdrop for managers like Schroders who have a balanced business, said the brokerage. It added that the company is now strongly diversified, with a thriving multi asset franchise to add to its equity and fixed income businesses.
JPMorgan Cazenove took a look at prospects for U.S. and European equities next year. It expects euro-zone equities to outperform the U.S., with the region more advanced in the adjustment process and valuations extremely cheap when compared with the U.S. JPM said that last year, its top country pick was the DAX, but for 2013, peripheral markets offer an improved risk-reward basis over core markets.
However, while stocks are likely to ultimately deliver positive returns next year, the first half of 2013 could well be volatile.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Colin Kaepernick won his starting debut so convincingly Monday night that a 49ers quarterback controversy could be afoot.
With Alex Smith sidelined by a week-old concussion, Kaepernick aggressively engineered a 20-point halftime lead in the 49ers' 32-7 rout of the Chicago Bears.
The 49ers (7-2-1) now must weigh benching the freshly minted Kaepernick in favor of Smith, assuming the eighth-year veteran eventually gets cleared from a Nov. 11 concussion.
"Usually I tend to go with the guy with the hot hand, and we've got two quarterbacks with hot hands," coach Jim Harbaugh said in not committing to either signal caller.
Kaepernick took a diplomatic approach to the brewing quandary, noting: "I don't think one game can be called a hot hand."
The 49ers' next game is a Sunday visit to the New Orleans Saints, who have won five of six since an 0-4 start. The Bears' second straight loss dropped them to 7-3.
Kaepernick completed 16 of 23 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns, including a 10-of-12 start for 178 yards as the 49ers scored on their first four series for the 20-0 lead.
Harbaugh told his team Sunday night that Kaepernick would start, doing so ahead of Monday's news that Smith wasn't medically cleared by team doctors to return from his first concussion this season. Smith left the locker room without comment.
"There's not a big mystery here," Harbaugh insisted. "Alex still had symptoms on Sunday, and we were going to make the decision to go with Colin."
Complementing Kaepernick's dynamic outing was the 49ers defense, which outshined its more-heralded counterpart. Aldon Smith produced a career-high 5½ sacks to take the NFL lead with 15 overall.
While the Bears entered with a league-high 30 takeaways, they got none against the 49ers. Instead, the 49ers forced two turnovers, on interceptions by Tarell Brown and Dashon Goldson.
Known more for his "WildKap" rushing cameos this season, Kaepernick attacked the Bears with an array of on-target passes. His progress as a passer showed in the third quarter, when he calmly surveyed the end zone before finding Michael Crabtree for a 10-yard touchdown pass and 27-0 lead.
"I saw great pass protection, and it was a coolheaded decision by Colin," Harbaugh said. "Michael got separation and mirrored what Kap was doing, broke off his route, and they made a heck of a play."
Kaepernick's precision rivaled that of Smith's past two outings, when he completed 18 of 19 in a 24-3 win at Arizona and 7 of 8 before exiting a 24-24 tie with the St. Louis Rams.
Bears quarterback Jason Campbell, who started in place of a concussed Jay Cutler, ended the 49ers' shutout bid in the third quarter with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Marshall.
Any outside shot at a Bears comeback ended early in the fourth quarter when Aldon Smith's final sack yielded a safety.
Kaepernick's first drive as a starting quarterback produced points, albeit a 32-yard field goal from David Akers for a 3-0 lead to cap a nine-play, 68-yard drive. Kaepernick completed his first four attempts before overthrowing Vernon Davis in the end zone on third-and-1 from the Bears' 14.
Kaepernick's second series was a quick one, and it produced his first career touchdown pass -- a 3-yarder to Davis, who caught five passes for 72 yards in the first half. One play before that scoring strike, Kaepernick hit Kyle Williams in stride for a 57-yard completion on third down.
"We all knew what he could do," Williams said. "It was about getting an opportunity, and he was lights out tonight."
Bolstered by a 32-yard completion to Davis, the 49ers' third drive finished with a 14-yard touchdown run by Kendall Hunter for a 17-0 cushion. A 37-yard field goal by Akers made it 20-0 before the 49ers offense cooled down and punted on its final two possessions of the first half.
Adding to the 49ers' defensive dominance were Justin Smith's pocket pressure, Patrick Willis' all-around excellence and NaVorro Bowman's game-high 12 tackles.
The 49ers outgained the Bears 355 yards to 143. Frank Gore and Hunter combined for 105 rushing yards, and Davis finished with a team-high six catches for 83 yards.
"It sends out a message that we're for real," Davis said of the win.
Winning this NFC showdown also alerts everyone that the 49ers have two capable quarterbacks. Always one to buck conventional thinking, Harbaugh doesn't subscribe to the philosophy a starter can't lose a job to injury. Will that be the case with Smith?
"We'll make that determination as we go," Harbaugh said. "There's no rule."

Did you game well? If no, is it because you had 3D driver issues and couldn't make head nor tail out of this mess? Here, I discuss the most recent driver releases on the most demanding 3D application there is today on the GNU/Linux desktop.
_The matrix in this article has been superceded by the one in _this article.
You guessed it, 3D desktops! Since my last version of the matrix is getting a bit old, it's time for an update.
3D drivers matrix—the evolution
Yup, the matrix is back—the driver matrix, that is. Following several comments and some further experiments on my part, I am glad to bring you an updated driver table.
Before that however, the news!
ATI/AMD is churning out updated drivers monthly. They are more stable, faster, cater to more recent revisions of Xorg—but they still won't support AIGLX nor do they provide hardware-accelerated GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap. They also cut support to r100/r200 cards. Too bad.
However, more recent cards are now supported and some 2D-only cards get 3D acceleration. Rejoice—XGL may now be available to you! You may need to disable compositing in
xorg.conf though:
Option "Composite" "disabled"
The free driver suffers from slow performance. However, in most cases it Just Works (tm). Some of you may notice that videos don't morph with the cube when you rotate Compiz's cube—these drivers still make use of hardware overlays and keyed colours, which allow the best, flicker-free, least CPU intensive video display. It doesn't render on the same context as the 3D one, meaning display gets... funky. Be glad, if they weren't well done you'd get hard crashes...
Improving performance with the free Radeon driver is no more than an upgrade away: apparently, upgrading the kernel to version 2.6.18 (or more recent) while using the latest Mesa CVS version may yield much better performance. I'll try it and keep you all posted (last time I tried was with a 2.6.17 kernel).
NVIDIA have divided their drivers into 3 "families":
- 71.xx supports "archaic" hardware: from the original TnT to the pre-MX Geforce2, this driver supports Xorg 7.1 but won't provide AIGLX nor
- 96.xx supports "legacy" hardware: from the Geforce2MX to Geforce4, the revamped MX memory controller may explain why those cards basically support AIGLX (which wasn't too hard) and
GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap. With those cards, 3D desktop is doable if not quite slick (my ti4200/128MB likes it, at least), and merely suffers from some flickering in large video playback (DVD resolution isn't too enjoyable if you're VERY sensitive to flickering; if you're not, it's more than watchable).
- 97.xx driver releases (and subsequent) cater to GeforceFX to Geforce8, which probably benefit from their programmable shaders to provide better 3D: starting with Geforce6, hardware contexts may allow better 3D applications integration with 3D desktops. This also seems to provide overlay emulation (hardware overlay is re-routed to a GL texture) resulting in pretty much flicker-free videos—personally, I can stand watching a DVD with that.
Those chips still suffer from an annoying bug, however: when you fill up the frame buffer, all subsequent windows (or dialogues) will appear black. The only way to solve that is to either increase the frame buffer size (possible with integrated 6150, for example) or reduce frame buffer use (close some windows, minimize then restore the black window, disable some plugins).
Please note that you pretty much HAVE to add those options to
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
Otherwise, you may not get working window borders.
On the free side, version 1.99 of the free nv driver is out—it now provides basic 2D support for Geforce8 cards too.
For the Nouveau free NVIDIA driver, see the "News" section later in this article.
Ask and ye shall receive... I asked last time if anybody had tried running AIGLX on Matrox hardware. It appears that it works, but that the driver is too buggy to make it reliable: texture cutoffs happen on G400 hardware (this may have been corrected in more recent Mesa CVS/release packages).
The G400 MAX is basically a single-card "SLI" solution with two G400 cores glued together. However, current drivers can only make use of a single core (use of the second core is undocumented)—resulting in degraded performances.
It seems that the Xorg driver isn't directly supported by Matrox; however, since Matrox publishes apparently unobfuscated sources (with a non-free license though), the Xorg package is usually not too far behind (when not innovating altogether).
Driver cleanup is still going on; improved stability and better performance seem to be the norm in various reports.
Nothing else is new here, though—we'll see what more recent chips (and future add-in cards) will provide...
Sis, VIA
There seems to be a bit of movement on their side, but nothing more than faint echoes in the press of newer drivers.
Miscellaneuous news
Window managers
While Compiz has been a constant fixture ever since Novell showed off their spinning cube, a fair bit of changes have taken place:
- Beryl, Quinnstorm's Compiz fork, has reached "stable" version 0.2. It comes with nice eye-candy, but since Compiz has started implementing more eye-candy itself, talks are (reportedly) going on about merging the two back together.
- Promoted by Mandriva, the Metisse compositing window manager takes a different approach: no more cube, now you can play with the windows themselves and still retain input capabilities (something Compiz/Beryl prevents). I haven't tried it yet, but rest assured that as soon as I upgrade my system to Mandriva 2007.1 Spring, I'll give you a full account. From what I heard, this is actually an experiment at revamping the traditional way of interacting with your desktop—and it won't require 3D hardware.
- KDE4 is coming slowly. Its window manager may in fact take a leaf out of Metisse's book and revisit one's way of using one's desktop. If it actually works, I may leave GNOME behind.
The guys at Nouveau have raised interesting questions for the kernel developers. From what I could gather, kernel 2.6.21 and Xorg 7.2 will provide a much better support for video awareness at the kernel level (removing troubles when using both the frame buffer and the Xorg driver for a single chip) and for multiple screen solutions (basically the result of randr1.2 development—concurrently being implemented in Nouveau and Xorg radeon driver) which will allow on-the-fly display management while reducing driver complexity.
On the functionality front, right now, they are working on the memory manager—so as to provide reliable context switching and back/front buffer blipping on all cards—and mapping newer cards' hardware instructions. Once those are done, textures can be used. By the end of the year, it may be able to run all cards on all platforms with 2D EXA and 3D acceleration.
Note that several distributions have started shipping early Nouveau versions and/or Renouveau (their hardware state dumping utility) packages—right now the project is being swamped under card dumps (which leaves them a bit bewildered).
The matrix has you (at least, your card)
Without further ado, ladies and gents, here comes the updated matrix (as of 2007-03-29):
|Chip maker
|Xorg 7.1
|Maker's driver
|Working Compiz?
|i810 to i965
|Developped in Xorg
|TnT to Geforce2 (not MX)
|2D,3D (71.xx)
|Geforce (fixed)
|Geforce2/MX to 4
|2D,3D (96.xx)
|Geforce (GLSL)
|Geforce FX to 8
|2D,3D (current)
|Mach32/64, early Rage
|Rage (r128)
|Rage M2 to Fury
|No (4)
|ATI (Xorg)
|r100 to r4xx
|Radeon 7000 to X850
|ATI (closed)
|r300 to r6xx
|Radeon 9500 to X1950
|740,750 etc.
|G200 to G550
|G200 to G550
|Provides sources
|Yes (6)
|2D,3D, closed
(1) Nouveau needs to implement software context switching to support textures.
(2) Nouveau has working context switching on Geforce 6; Geforce 7 hangs often, Geforce 8 is a radically different hardware design.
(3) Xorg 6.9 has a working 3D driver, the kernel DRM module is experimental—as such it hasn't been ported to Xorg 7.1 yet, but one can supposedly run XGL and Compiz on Xorg 6.9 with these chips (I'll see if I can test that on my laptop).
(4) AIGLX loads, but the driver is missing some critical functions for Compiz to work.
(5) Early Radeon cards (7x00 to 9200) are fully supported by Xorg's "radeon" driver (except 9100 due to radically different memory management caused by cached/shared video memory). More recent versions are experimental and slowly get more support and speed.
(6) Glitches were found, such as texture cutoff. If the Xorg driver doesn't work for you, get Matrox's or download the most recent package from Xorg's website.
Generally speaking, if you're having trouble with a driver release, update to the latest version either from Mesa/Xorg or from the manufacturer. Using a recent kernel revision may help greatly too.
We're seeing a lot of things coming together and some innovations are on the way. The GNU/Linux desktop won't ever be the same again. Groovy!

Hey! He said "GNU/Linux" at the end of his article! Awesome!
Thank you for the matrix
it might be useful for choosing the right card
Be Careful
This is a great source of info, thanks much for the info.
But as far as the "GNU/Linux" label, and the fanboy comment on this subject, please be careful. It's no more "GNU/Linux" than it is "Xorg/Linux". Promoting this irrational and fanatic viewpoint chases away more rational users in the business, education and home markets. And lets face it, our much vaunted "freedom" is worth nothing if this "free" code isn't used by anyone but the fringe nuts.
It's simple enough to demonstrate the validity of my arguement (truth is, it's not even my arguement). Check your favorite search engine for terms like GNU not linux, put away your blind devotion to Bill Gate's "free software" twin brother (RMS - same means, supposedly different ends), and you'll hopefully realize the ignorance of the "GNU/Linux" label.
Out of subject
Please refrain from making comments out of the post's scope.
A computer is like air conditioning: it becomes useless when you open windows.
The "irrational" viewpoint of saying 'GNU/Linux'
'Anonymous visitor', I'm surprised to see a comment on this site about how "irrational" the term 'GNU/Linux' is for that operating system. Most of the articles submitted on this site seem use that term instead of "Linux" or anything else, and their authors think it's a perfectly valid term, and generally the best term to use, as I do. There's some pretty good arguments about why that's the best name for it at http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html. Your argument about using a search engine isn't valid either. Just because a large number of people make a particular mistake or have a particular opinion about something, that doesn't make it the truth.
GNU - free as in freedom
nvidia 100.xx
What about the nvidia 100.xx series? Do they have the same frame buffer problems as the 97.xx?
97.xx and subsequent
Yes, the 100.x series driver still has the black window problem. I may add that Compiz also falls victim to the bug - enforcing 'strict' AIGLX copy method under Beryl is the only way to get rid of it (and even then, I've heard that the 100.x driver series actually take away this workaround).
NVIDIA says it is because their implementation of GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is buggy; from what I could learn about it, it must come from bad AGP/PCIe <=> VRAM memory mapping.
In short, GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap should be able to get data from the AGP memory aperture or from a PCIe instance as well as it does from VRAM, but it currently can't.
To sum it up, NVIDIA find themselves stuck due to bad video memory management.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2012
EVANS, Ga. -- After a summer-long competition, five artists are ready to perform for Columbia County's Amateur Series finale this Saturday.
It's an opportunity of a lifetime for some of these musical guests.
More than 80 local groups auditioned to be a part of the summer concert series, and now it's down to five. The winner will be getting exposure that money can't buy.
"We've worked all summer long for this," said Sandy Boner, the manager of the Columbia County Rental Facility and Venues.
"It's just all been a blur. It has been a wonderful experience and a wonderful journey and also bittersweet because you kind of get attached to the contestants, too," said Calie Cook, administrative coordinator.
After 10 weeks of performances, the field was narrowed down from 40 to just five: She'nShe, Steel Cross, Pyroteque, Miranda P. and Dayz to Come.
"We just decided, yeah let's go for it and when we made it through the first round, everybody was just like ... oh my gosh," explained Andrea Suarez, a member of She'nShe.
And now the finalists are gearing up for Saturday's finale.
"It's amazing, it's what we can't wait for, to see everybody getting into the music and being a Christian band, we always have another motive and that's to express our faith also with music," said Gordon Carver, a member of Dayz to Come.
The prize package here is an artist's dream. Free studio time, a website, gift cards, a featured magazine article, an audition on America's Got Talent ... and they're not done there.
"The newest prize package is -- whoever is selected -- is going to open up for Eddie Money and Starship on Oct. 12, so we're super excited about that," Cook said.
"The way they've set it up, it really can help launch somebody," Carver said.
"This should be everything than an up-and-coming performer or group needs to get the word out about them," Boner said.
Get the word out -- and hopefully become the next big thing.
"I think this competition has shown that there's a lot more talent in this town than people give Augusta credit for," said Brandy Douglas, a member of She'nShe.
"We wanted to inspire them and encourage them and say 'Hey, where you're from, we believe in you and we want to see you succeed,'" Cook said.
This is the first year for the event and they already have plans for summer 2013. The finale is Saturday, Sept. 8. There's a pre-show starting at 5 p.m. featuring some of the other contestants, then the finalists take the stage at 7 p.m. There will be vendors and the event is free.

"I received my cards on time and they were accurate. Tiny prints always makes a "big impression." I use them so often for so many occasions that people have come to expect something exceptional from me. Indeed these cards make a lasting impression. I would highly recommend the product. I should have chosen a paper with shine. It would have made it pop even more."
"The paper colors and print were great. I actually used it for a sweet 16 party. My niece's theme was a mardi gras masquerade, so the design fit perfectly."
