Guantánamo by the Numbers
[Last updated in April 2016]
Well over a decade has passed since the first prisoner arrived in Guantánamo Bay, making it the longest-standing war prison in U.S. history. Almost 800 men have passed through Guantánamo's cells. Today, 80 men remain. Fashioned as an "island outside the law" where terrorism suspects could be detained without process and interrogated without restraint, Guantánamo has been a catastrophic failure on every front. It is long past time for this shameful episode in American history to be brought to a close.

text: Here's an interesting link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...gilante-portrayed-movies-new-book-claims.html In "Spectre Of The Gun" we see a portrayal of Wyatt Earp (and his brothers) that runs rather counter to how he was/is usually portrayed in film and television. Usually Wyatt is portrayed as a rather righteous and sometimes reluctant lawman. But in "Spectre Of The Gun" he was portrayed more as a sinister would-be killer. He certainly wasn't portrayed sympathetically. Is it just possible that TOS could be about the only time Wyatt was portrayed at least remotely more like the real person? I'm not saying the writers were out to deliberately correct history, but that just maybe their approach to the character just coincidentally leaned a bit closer to what the real man might have been like. Thoughts.

Two juvenile suspects were caught over the weekend, allegedly breaking into cars on the roof of the Columbia Police Department.
A Columbia police spokeswoman says the teens were caught early Saturday morning.
An officer was pulling into the parking area above the CPD building when the officer saw two suspects trying to break into vehicles.
The two 15-year-old suspects attempted to run away, but were caught by police. Their names are not being released.
The parking lot is permit parking only for Columbia officials and city leaders. It is also where on-duty police officers park their personal vehicles.

What are symptoms and signs of rheumatic fever?
As mentioned above, there are quite a few symptoms associated with rheumatic fever. These include
- carditis (inflammation of the heart), which occurs in 60% of patients is the most severe symptom of ARF and can result in permanent damage to the heart valves, and can be life threatening;
- polyarthritis or migratory polyarthritis (joint inflammation), which usually presents first and occurs in 45% of patients and most commonly affects the large joints such as the knees;
- Aschoff bodies (subcutaneous skin nodules), which are firm, painless lumps most frequently found around the wrists, elbows and knees. These are present in only 2% of patients;
- erythema marginatum (rash), which occurs in 5% of patients and is often described as a "serpiginous" with wavy and snakelike appearance which has distinct erythematous (red) borders or "margins";
- Sydenham's chorea (abnormal movements) occurs in 30% of patients and is a movement disorder comprising of purposeless volatile movements of the face and arms. This was also called St. Vitus' dance, which was named after the patron saint of the "mania dancers" of the middle ages; and
- fever is often present during the acute infection with group A strep and is present during the initial phase of rheumatic fever.
How is rheumatic fever diagnosed?
The person must have a history of an infection with group A streptococcal bacteria, either by laboratory documentation (a positive rapid strep test) or positive strep culture, and must have two major or one major and two minor Jones criteria findings.
How is rheumatic fever treated?
The first step in treating rheumatic fever is to eradicate the bacteria which initially caused the immunologic response. This is usually accomplished with the use of penicillin. For penicillin-allergic patients, there are other options such as erythromycin (E-Mycin, Eryc, Ery-Tab, PCE, Pediazole, Ilosone) or azithromycin (Zithromax, Zmax). It is important to make sure that the acute infection is treated, but such treatment won't necessarily change the course of rheumatic fever once the immunologic response has begun. Your doctor will decide on the best treatment option for you. The joint pains are treated with aspirin or aspirin-related medications. It may be necessary to use very high doses to decrease the symptoms.
Carditis is treated by high-dose steroids but other cardiac medications may be needed to control the inflammation of the heart. This is a serious condition and is most often initially managed in an acute-care setting such as a hospital.
The most challenging and unpredictable symptom to treat is the chorea (involuntary movements). It often responds to antipsychotic medications such as haloperidol (Haldol) but may continue for a protracted period. For patients who develop Sydenham's chorea, it can be the most difficult of the symptoms, since it involves involuntary movements and can interfere with daily activities. These individuals must remain on chronic long-term antibiotics to prevent recurrence of the strep infection, which has been known to cause recurrence of the chorea.

If you've worried about the safety of PG&E's natural gas pipelines in the aftermath of the San Bruno tragedy, we have good news and bad.
The good news is the utility is making ready for inspections and repairs with a rights-of-way management plan called the Pipeline Pathway. The bad news is it will mean removing trees, eliminating vegetation and relocating structures that endanger or impede access to buried pipes -- on public or private property.
Concord City Council members learned more about the project Tuesday night, and you could tell from the scowls they weren't altogether pleased. An earlier intimation by PG&E that it was empowered by the Public Utilities Commission to do whatever it wanted without city approval didn't sit well.
The utility plans to fell more than 600 trees in Concord, including 114 on city land. (Each will be replaced with a relocated sapling.) It plans to prune another 140 or so trees. Vegetation will be uprooted, and structures will be moved. Listen carefully, and you can hear the heavy equipment revving up.
It's of no small note that Concord has for 32 years been recognized as a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation in recognition of its urban forestry management. The municipal code protects trees of certain sizes and characteristics, so the attack of the chain saws was never going to be well received.
An exchange between Councilman Dan Helix and PG&E spokesman Wes Gullett spoke volumes.
Helix: "I want you on the record: Will PG&E follow the city permit requirements when it seeks to remove any protected trees?"
Gullett: "We're going to work with your staff."
Helix: "You're going to follow our permit process?"
Gullett: "We're going to adhere to it as closely as we can."
Helix: "That's not answering the question."
Gullett is a hired representative -- a partner at First Strategic communications -- so he was disinclined to make commitments on PG&E's behalf. But that didn't spare him a follow-up sparring session with Councilwoman Laura Hoffmeister.
"I support the need for safety," she said, "but I think the way it's being brought about in terms of this project is it's PG&E's way or the highway. It's 'We're coming in, and we may or may not need permits.' You're basically saying you're exempt due to some PUC ruling, or your interpretation of it. I'm not quite sold that's the right answer."
Council meetings often are casual and cordial. Contentious was a better description this time. Councilman Edi Birsan wanted to know the last time the utility had undertaken a similar project. Never, said Gullett, as far as he knew.
"So," said Birsan, "for the last 300 years we've had trees growing here ... and we didn't hear anything from you guys. Now we have a situation where you're basically declaring tree eminent domain."
Gullett conceded afterward that it had been a rough night. Although this presentation had been made elsewhere -- PG&E has 6,500 miles of pipe -- Concord marked the first session in the East Bay, and he left knowing the council was not yet satisfied.
What other cities will be affected? Pleasant Hill? Martinez? Walnut Creek?
"We're going to go through all of those communities and more," he said. "This will be systemwide. We're trying to be as transparent as possible."
From what I witnessed Tuesday night, transparency's not the problem.

From delivery delays, to technology hurdles, to missed production targets, to cancelled pre-orders, to an apparently exorbitant price tag — we've all read the bad news regarding Sony Corp.'s much-anticipated new PlayStation 3 video-game console.
Now for the good news: iSuppli Corp.'s dissection reveals the PlayStation 3 is an engineering masterpiece that sets a new high mark for computing price/performance — even when considering it is more expensive than its nearest rival, the Xbox 360 from Microsoft Corp. "With the PlayStation 3, you are getting the performance of a supercomputer at the price of an entry-level PC," said Andrew Rassweiler, teardown services manager and senior analyst for iSuppli.
The combined materials and manufacturing cost of the PlayStation 3 is $805.85 for the model equipped with a 20Gbyte Hard Disk Drive (HDD), and $840.35 for the 60Gbyte HDD version, according to iSuppli's Teardown Analysis service's preliminary estimate of expenses in the fourth quarter. This total doesn't include additional costs for elements including the controller, cables and packaging.
At these costs, Sony is taking a considerable loss on each PlayStation 3 sold. Materials and manufacturing costs for the 20Gbyte model exceed the suggested retail price of $499 by a total of $306.85, iSuppli's Teardown Analysis service estimates. For the 60Gbyte version, costs exceed the $599 price by $241.35.
In contrast, the HDD-equipped Xbox 360 has a manufacturing and materials total of $323.30, based on an updated estimate using costs in the fourth quarter of 2006. This total is $75.70 less than the $399 suggested retail price of the Xbox 360.
It's common for video-game console makers to lose money on hardware, and make up for the loss via video game-title sales. Still, the size of Sony's loss per unit is remarkable, even for the video-game console business.
Despite this, iSuppli's Teardown Analysis shows that with the PlayStation 3, Sony has delivered an amazing level of performance for the cost.

Cost Management / Quantity Surveying
Advice on Contract Procedures
- Examination of all possible contract/procurement options
- Variety of contractual/tendering options
- Philosophy of attaining best value, not 'first past the post'
- Identifying key criteria and drivers for a project
- Preparation of contract documentation
Bruce Shaw examines all possible contract/procurement options and advises on the most appropriate option for a specific project. Contractual/tendering options include the traditional method of tendering, two-stage tendering, negotiated contracts, management contracts, design and construct contracts and construction management contracts.
Bruce Shaw has no allegiance to any particular forms or methods of procurement and has current experience of all of the major options available. The company does not subscribe to a "first past the post" philosophy but in attainment of best value.
The company advocates identifying, prior to selecting a procurement route, the key criteria and drivers for a project, which is typically a balance between programme control, the process for achieving cost certainty, equitable risk allocation, maximising off-site fabrication, specialist sub-contractor involvement and contemporary management principles.
Once the most appropriate Procurement Option has been selected, Bruce Shaw prepares the conditions under which contractors will tender the project including Preliminaries/General Conditions and also provides advice on the adequacy of the levels of insurance, liquidated damages, dates for completion etc. Finally, the company prepares the tender documents including detailed Bills of Quantities, Instructions to Tenderers and Forms of Tender.

SNOWMASS VILLAGE - Forget the cheetah-pant-wearing, Cali-bred hotshot Shaun White - local kids can jump, too.
Beginning Friday, Feb. 10, at 2 p.m., the anticipated Bud Light Big Air Fridays series will kick off its 10th year at Snowmass Mountain, beckoning local athletes from all age groups to take a plunge off the 40-feet jump on Fanny Hill and showcase their best snowboarding and freeskiing tricks to locals and vacationers alike.
With the competition unfolding over an eight-week period, including a Little Air contest with a mini-jump for the younger athletes, a panel of top skiers and snowboarders will decide who moves on to the finals with the freshest corks and grabs, and who stays behind to wallow in their successors' tracks.
Back and ready to woo the crowd this year is freeskier Nathan Berkel, who won "Best Overall" in last year's Big Air and plans on doubling his mark this time over.
"Those little kids are good," Berkel said of his competition. "The 18 year olds are the ones who showcase the most progression when it comes to tricks, so I have to work to keep up with them."
Joining Berkel on the slope will be his best friend and fellow freeskier rival Lance Ammerman, who will aim for a prominent return after missing last year's Big Air due to an ankle injury.
Perhaps the local breadwinners of the sport as they continue to land their best interpretations of inversions and flips, Berkel and Ammerman in their mid-20s practice side by side in the terrain parks with their high-school counterparts almost everyday of the week.
"It's fun because we are all friends," Ammerman said. "We push one another to meet goals and enjoy going head to head on an event like Big Air."
But according to Berkel, when Friday hits and the competition begins, there is nothing but do-or-die attitudes when it comes to who goes home with a win.
This year's trick of choice for Berkel: a Double Misty 900 complete with two forward-flipping backside spins for a 900-degree rotation, while Ammerman will shoot for a Cork 10, hitting three off-axis rotations with a front-ski grab.
Tyler Lindsay, the eight-year snowboarding program director of the recognized Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club, which credits itself to teaching some of the top young skiers and snowboarders in the Valley through its multi-level programs, looks forward to see what his up and coming athletes can bring to the jump.
Expecting at least four or five kids from AVSC to participate, Lindsay believes the event to be both challenging and rewarding.
"Big Air allows our local talent to show off what they've been practicing all week," he said. "The kids get some publicity while they gain a feel for real competition, and parents, locals and visitors can also witness a really good show."
For each Big Air Friday, judges will evaluate participants by a cumulative point system where the top three from each sport will obtain up to $350 in cash prizes. Top competitors from the Little Air event will also be entered in to a weekly prize purse. Athletes who accumulate the most points over the eight-week series will have the biggest advantage when it comes to winning best overall at the end of the series on March 30.
Practice for competitors will begin each Friday at 1 p.m. with the main event kicking off promptly at 2 p.m. Finals will be held from 2:45-3 p.m. followed by crowd giveaways and live music entertainment throughout Snowmass Base Village.
"We look forward to the event each year because it brings talent out from all parts of Colorado to showoff their best," SkiCo's Senior Manager of Event Marketing Deric Gunshor said. "Most guests are already out on the hill by the time Big Air begins, so it's a way to get them down to interact and see the great competition our local kids can bring to the stage."

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Thomas J. Tobin, Bishop of The Roman Catholic Diocese
of Providence said Tuesday that $10,000 in emergency assistance money is available for those affected by the floods on Labor Day.
The money is from the Diocesan Assistance Fund and resources raised through optional second collections held at parishes throughout the Diocese after floods in 2010, Tobin said in a news release.
Distributed through the Diocesan Office of Catholic Charities and Social Ministry, the money may be used for a number of immediate needs by those impacted by the flooding as they get back on their feet in the form of security deposits for new apartments, clothing, food and other basic needs.

Connecting the Drops
Water education a critical part of determining Colorado's water futureJune 23, 2014
When it comes to water, Colorado's kids can expect to face a challenging future. A growing population and increasing demand may mean difficult trade-offs. That's one reason educators and policymakers say it's critical to teach young people about water management. As part of "Connecting the Drops"—our series on Colorado water—Sam Fuqua visited two water education programs to see how they're handling this complicated topic.

Accrete is a physical simulation of solar system planet formation. This simulation works by modelling a dust cloud around a Sun-like star, injecting a series of masses which collect dust, and form planets by accretion.
The Art of Computational Science: A series of books on how to build a computational lab.
AP3M is adaptive particle-particle, particle-mesh code. Older than Hydra but faster and more memory-efficient for dark-matter only calculations.
Astrolabe is a collection of subroutines and applications for calculating the positions of the sun, moon, planets and other celestial objects. The emphasis is on high accuracy over a several thousand year time span.
Cloudy is designed to simulate emission line regions.
cosmix is a celestial mechanics simulation.
Enzo is an adaptive mesh refinement (AMR), grid-based hybrid code (hydro + N-Body) which is designed to do simulations of cosmological structure formation. It uses the algorithms of Berger & Collela to improve spatial and temporal resolution in regions of large gradients, such as gravitationally collapsing objects.
FLASH is a modular, adaptive, parallel simulation code capable
of handling general compressible flow problems in astrophysical environments.
GADGET is a freely available code for cosmological N-body/SPH simulations on massively parallel computers with distributed memory. GADGET uses an explicit communication model that is implemented with the standardized MPI communication interface. The code can be run on essentially all supercomputer systems presently in use, including clusters of workstations or individual PCs.
This is a software package for generating N-body realizations of axisymmetric galaxy models consisting of disk, bulge and halo.
Gravit is a gravity simulator. It uses simple Newtonian physics using the Barnes-Hut N-body algorithm. Although the main goal of Gravit is to be as accurate as possible, it also creates beautiful looking gravity patterns. It records the history of each particle so that it can animate and display a path of its travels. At any stage you can rotate your view in 3D and zoom in and out. Gravit uses OpenGL with SDL, SDL_ttf, and SDL_image.
gyrfalcON stands for "GalaxY simulatoR using falcON". It is a full-fledged N-body code using Walter Dehnen's force algorithm of complexity O(N) (falcON), which is about 10 times faster than an optimally coded tree code. gyrfalcON features individual adaptive time steps and individual (but fixed) softening lengths.
The HNBody (Hierarchical N-Body) package integrates the motion of particles in self-gravitating systems where the total mass is dominated by a single object; it is based on symplectic integration techniques in which two-body Keplerian motion is integrated exactly. Options include choices of coordinate system, division of particles into classes based on mass scales, order of accuracy, and others.
Hydra is an adaptive particle-particle, particle-mesh plus smoothed particle hydrodynamics code.
MLAPM is a freely available code for cosmological simulations. MLAPM is purely grid-based and uses an arbitrary number of particles (each having its individual mass). The interparticle forces due to gravitational interactions are computed by solving Poisson's equation on a hierarchy of grids via Brandt's Multi-Grid algorithm.
N-Body is a set of FORTRAN codes which describe numerical simulations of many-body (N-body) gravitational interactions.
NEMO is an extendible Stellar Dynamics Toolbox, following an Open-Source Software model. It has various programs to create, integrate, analyze and visualize N-body and SPH like systems, following the pipe and filter architecture. In addition there are various tools to operate on images, tables and orbits, including FITS files to export/import to/from other astronomical data reduction packages.
OpenGLavity is a gravity simulator. It simulate gravitational interactions between N bodies with a direct N-bodies algorithm, which means that it calculates every interactions between every bodies, without any simplifications.
OrbitViewer is an interactive applet that displays the orbit of small bodies (comets or asteroids) in the solar system in 3D. The orbit may be played forwards or backwards like a movie.
PMcode is Particle-Mesh code for cosmological simulations. The package allows you to simulate models with numerous combinations of parameters: open/flat/closed background, with or without the cosmological constant, different values of the Hubble constant, with or without hot neutrinos, tilted or non-tilted initial spectra, different amount of baryons.
PMFAST is a particle-mesh N-body code, written in Fortran 90 and aimed towards use in large-scale structure cosmological simulations. It offers support for distributed memory systems through MPI and shared memory via OpenMP. It features minimal memory overhead and communications requirements, running efficiently on commodity systems.
SaVi allows you to simulate satellite orbits and coverage, in two and three dimensions. SaVi is particularly useful for simulating satellite constellations such as Iridium and Globalstar.
Solar Visitor
Solar Visitor is a space simulator where the user flies around our solar system in a 3D view; the planets move too. It uses the Ogre graphics library, and accelerated OpenGL is highly recommended.
StarCrash is a parallel fortran code based on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) techniques to calculate the 3-d evolution of self-gravitating fluid systems.
The code in particularly suited to the study of stellar interactions, such as mergers of binary star systems and stellar collisions.
Starlab is a software package for simulating the evolution of dense stellar systems and analyzing the resultant data. It is a collection of loosely coupled programs (tools) linked at the level of the UNIX operating system. The tools share a common data structure and can be combined in arbitrarily complex ways to study the dynamics of star clusters and galactic nuclei.
The SWIFT subroutine package is designed to integrate a set of mutually gravitationally interacting bodies together with a group of test particles which feel the gravitational influence of the massive bodies but do not affect each other or the massive bodies.
TPM is a code for carrying out collisionless (dark matter) cosmological N-body simulations, evolving a system of N particles as they move under their mutual gravitational interaction. It combines aspects of both Tree and Particle-Mesh algorithms. The code is parallel and uses MPI for message passing.
XGrav is a simple physics simulation for a large number of particles. It simulates
the effect of gravity, collisions, heat dissipation and a simple chemical reaction.
The simulation is in no way meant to be realistic but rather a toy with which you
can create stars, planets and even simple solar systems.
XStar simulates the movement of stars. It starts by putting a bunch of stars on the screen, and then it lets the inter-body gravitational forces move the stars around. The result is a lot of neat wandering paths, as the stars interact and collide.
Zeus-MP is a parallel, Eulerian (grid-based) MHD code for use in astronomical simulations. It freely available and is written in FORTRAN 77. It is primarily intended for workstations and Beowulf clusters. This is a modified version of the initial NCSA release.

His partner Jack Laugher added the 3m synchro gold to his individual crown.
Laugher and Daley were consistent throughout the rounds building up their lead steadily with each diver and Daley admitted this was the key to their success.
"It was a crazy competition," said Daley. "I don't usually do springboard and Jack rarely does Synchro so we weren't sure how we would get on beforehand.
"We had a slightly easier list than some of our competitors but we executed all the dives well and steadily built a lead throughout the competition. It's my first gold medal at a Junior Worlds and it is great to say I am Junior World Champion."
The duo finished top of the pile with a total score of 338.85 for their five-round effort ahead of Russia's Ilia Kuzmin and Maxim Popkov who scored 307.92 and Australia's Matthew Barnard and Darcy Taylor who took bronze with 305.88.
Daley will be in action again on Saturday in his preferred event, the 10m Platform.

Pimp Your Google Search
Posted on David Pierce | NO COMMENTS
So you thought searching the Web was all about entering keywords, sifting through the unrelated and the ridiculous, and eventually finding something almost like what you were looking for on page 38? Well, no longer.
Google has a ton of different ways you can better your search results, and a plethora of things you can search for. After poking through some great articles, and finding a huge number of search attacks, I decided the best thing to do is give you my Fav Five, and then let you look through the articles for even more.
So, here are five Google Search tips that rule:
Search for a specific type of result
Do you only want mp3's in your results? Maybe you don't want information about the Lord of the Rings books, but rather just the movies? To do so, here are two tips in one. To search for a certain file type, like .doc or .ppt, search "your search filetype:___". It will filter results so you only get the ones you're looking for. Also, you can search for "Lord of The Rings -book". That little minus sign gets rid of all the references to the book in the search results.
Track Packages
Tracking your packages through FedEx or DHL can be a big pain. With Google, just search "yourcarrier Tracking#" and you'll be given a link to the package. Click the link, and it'll take you to the tracking site. All you need is who's delivering and the tracking number, and Google can tell you where your package is, and when it's getting to you.
I've tried Weather.com, Weatherunderground.com, and a ton of other sites, and have determined one thing- who knows about the actual weather? Google knows as well as anyone. Just search "weather" followed by the zip, city and state, or city and country. You'll get the current weather, as well as the upcoming forecast. It's as good as any other services, and is much easier than any others.
Movie Times
This is the one I use the most. All the different theater chains have different sites, and it's very complicated. With Google, search "movies" and your zip code or city and state, and you'll get a list of showtimes near you as the first result. You can change the day, the location, or sort by closest theater, movie ratings, or titles. View trailers, IMDB info, the works. All the information you need to pick a movie and get there is right on the results page.
Find Related Sites
This one's more fun than anything, but is a useful way to find things that interest you. Search "related:yoururl.whatever" and Google brings you a group of similar sites. A search for "related:google.com" brings up Yahoo, AltaVista, MSN, MetaCrawler- all search engines. This is a neat way to find other sites you might be interested in, and to find alternatives to the ones you already use.
These ideas and more can be seen on a couple of great articles I found. One's from MakeUseOf, here, one from BizznTech, here, and a Lifehacker article here.
Also, just for fun- Google "Chuck Norris," and then click "I'm Feeling Lucky." Awesome.

"DECchip 21041 [Tulip Pass 3]" on CommSlot 2 is tricky NIC for Linux
driver. Works fine on MacOS on Linux with "tulip" driver it jumps to
transceiver mode that hardware is not capable of. During even
slightly intense network activity, it needs reset every
seconds. My ugly work-around solution to it can be found from
archives of this newsgroup.
"3c595 [Vortex]" is what I have on the PCI slot now, it seems to be
reliable and has not caused problems so far. However, I have not
succeeded to make it run in full-duplex or 100 megabit mode. Slow but
it works for now.
When trying EPIC100 NIC (SMC EtherPower II), driver module gets loaded
fine, but when trying to "ifconfig", whole system hangs. Ethernet
over IEEE-1394 also hangs the system after some while of network
activity on PowerPC, while server Alpha on other end of cable does not
have such problem.

Re A new way to select entries for Challenges.
I would like artists to able to make their selection for challenges from the `My Works` option in the `Group Options`. This would make it easier for hosts as many do not bother to check if their image is in the group. As many belong to lots of groups they could not possibly know what images they have in all groups unless they check and if this method was adopted it would be the only way to submit an entry and save hosts having to troll through all the entries to make sure they were in the group. This would be so much easier for all concerned.
5 comments
Nalinne Jones commented
Also, maybe a box to click right next to the image being submitted so the artist doesn't have to go to find the image in their own works, then click edit, then wait for all the images to load (which takes forever sometimes), then search for the group, then finally be able to tick the box, then press save, then hope it gets accepted.... Seems like such a long process, when there could simply be a little box right in the challenge entry area.
Yentuoc commented
OMG YES, even just to choose features is a pain. A 'in group' search would be a god send

Anything that makes it easier for Admins I'm in favor of. This is a good idea.

This would be a distinct advantage. Sorry I can't cast a vote. I seem to have run out of them.

Update, 11:15 a.m.:
According to police reports, made public late this morning, the man who was staying on the sixth floor of the Rosewood Crescent Hotel caused thousands of dollars in damage when he sprayed and threw fire extinguishers in the hotel.
Police say he also spit blood into an emergency responder's eye in an ambulance on its way to Parkland Memorial Hospital.
According to police reports, the unidentified man called for room service around 5:15 a.m. When the employee arrived, the man changed his mind and instead asked for someone to fix a light in his room.
According to a police report, the man told the employee that "someone was out to get him." When the employee arrived at the room to fix the light, the man was "acting strangely" and ripped an employee's badge off. The employees ran out of the room, fearing the suspect.
The man then threw items from his room out into the hallway and sprayed the fire extinguisher in the hall, damaging the carpet and a light fixture.
Police arrived on the scene and found the man in the courtyard and handcuffed him when he was resistant and uncooperative toward the officers.
It remains unclear whether the man fell out of a window in the hotel or if he jumped, but he was transported to Parkland for unknown injuries that don't appear to be life threatening.
Original post:
A disturbed man survived a fall from a sixth-floor window this morning at Dallas' Rosewood Crescent hotel.
The victim, who was not identified, was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital with injuries that did not appear life-threatening.
It was unclear whether the man fell accidentally or jumped from a window on the top floor of the luxury hotel near Maple and McKinney avenues.
Police said the man trashed his room beforehand.

By First Army Division East Public AffairsMarch 6, 2012
As First Army Division East celebrates its fifth anniversary, their mission of mobilizing, training, deploying and demobilizing Army Reserve and National Guard Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen not only remains their focus, but they plan to expand the training provided to Reserve Component units.
Headquartered at Fort Meade, Md., 1AE is a multi-component team of nearly 6,000 Active Duty, Army Reserve and National Guard Soldiers, and civilians. The team operates across the eastern half of the United States and territorities comprising eight brigades and 52 battalions located at Fort Stewart, Ga.; Fort Knox, Ky.; Camp Atterbury, Ind.; Camp Shelby, Miss.; and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J.
"First Army Division East operates as a joint team," said Command Sergeant Major Edwin Rodriguez. "Whether someone is a Soldier, or a civilian, everyone works together to man, equip, train, deploy, and demobilize U.S. Reserve Component forces; the experience that everyone brings to the fight make us more effective training division.
From its inception on March 7, 2007, 1AE has mobilized nearly 200,000 service members and demobilized more than 45,000 Reserve Component Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen deploying into, and from, global overseas contingency operations in Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Horn of Africa.
When those same Soldiers come home, 1AE again stands at the ready to provide Focused Soldier Care and transition them back into their civilian lives. Just recently, during the Iraq drawdown, the 1AE demobilized more than 7,000 troops.
"First Army Division East personnel again showed us that they are preeminent in demobilization support to returning troops regardless of a surge or normal demob operations," said Brig. Gen. Steven Huber, First Army Division East deputy commanding general -- operations.
As the Army begins transforming, drawing down and adjusting missions, First Army Division East is following suit.
Over the past five years, 1AE has continually transformed to meet the requirements of training, mobilizing and demobilizing RC forces. Initially, the division encompassed six mobilization stations and 10 brigades. Over the past few years, however, it has been restructured to a leaner, more efficient formation. The division now operates at three mobilization training centers and has eight brigades supporting 52 battalions.
Despite these changes, the division's mission continues to be met without fail.
"The 1AE mission is intact; however, it is scaled back to a great extent," said Maj. Marcus Buckner, battle captain on the Division Watch Team. "The reorganization helped the division to logistically and fiscally streamline its training, deploying and demobilizing operations for the units serviced," he added.
Buckner went on to say that the division now more evenly matches the Army's downsized throughput to leaner trainable sustainable levels.
Recently, 1AE began planning and training for two additional missions: the Security Force Assistance Team and Contingency Expeditionary Forces training.
Currently, more than 140 First Army senior officers and noncommissioned officers are training and preparing to deploy in support of the SFAT mission. The teams will deploy for nine-months to assist Afghan army and police units improve their logistics, intelligence, maintenance, administration and training capabilities.
The CEF mission is also a new concept for 1AE. Until recently, 1AE only trained units with valid deployment orders. However, with the recent withdrawal in Iraq, the coming drawdown in Afghanistan and the overall shrinking of the force, ensuring the Operational Reserves maintain their training proficiency is a mission 1AE is more than ready to tackle.
Throughout 1AE's transformation, one thing that has never changed is the quality their trainer mentors and depth of the training.
"First Army East has resourced the latest equipment so that troops deploying through its mobilization training centers are trained to the same standards as the national combat training centers," said Darryl Egler, First Army Division East G3 chief of training. "This equipment includes mine/metal detectors, electronic warfare kits, explosive hazard detection kits, and escalation of force packages."
"1AE sends selected trainer/mentors to the First Army Master Trainer Course at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, to ensure that they all have the most up-to-date training methods on counter-IED operations," said Egler.
Egler further explained that T/Ms stay current by constantly reviewing trends from theater and integrating operations with multiple outside agencies that focus on improving efforts, such as the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization and the Center for Army Lessons Learned.
"Beyond that, personnel attend recurring teleconferences and video televised conferences with a variety of agencies focused on providing the most current information from theater, mainly from the Infantry War Fighter Forum and the Training Community of Interest VTC with U.S. Forces-Afghanistan," he added.
Over the past five years, division staff and trainer/mentors have also improved the facilities where deploying units are trained.
Ranges have been built at all MTCs that replicate overseas operating environments -- focused primarily on Afghanistan -- with authentic buildings, atmospherics, and role players, he said. Currently, all three MTCs are experiencing upgrades for training support.
"As the Army continues to transition, the key is to ensure the training meets a set standard and is relevant, exciting and demanding," said Rodriguez.

The Keystone XL Pipeline Is Now One Big Step Closer to US Approval
From Slate
By Josh Voorhees
The State Department, at long last, is out with its final environmental analysis of the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline. The early takeaway is that it doesn't look good for environmentalists and their like-minded allies. Here are the details, via the New York Times' Coral Davenport:
The long-awaited environmental impact statement on the project concludes that approval or denial of the pipeline, which would carry 830,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta to the Gulf Coast, is unlikely to prompt oil companies to change the rate of their extraction of carbon-heavy tar sands oil, a State Department official said. Either way, the tar sands oil, which produces significantly more planet-warming carbon pollution than standard methods of drilling, is coming out of the ground, the report says. …

Piedra de sol
by Octavio Paz
Analysis: Calling Card
Abstract, Natural Elements
Octavio Paz was a sucker for basic elements of nature. One of his other poems is called "Water and Wind and Stone," and he loves to weave and repeat these types of images through his work to give them a more universal, timeless feeling. When you read things like "writing of the sea on basalt rock, / writing of the wind on desert sand" (133-134), you are reading classic Paz. But what's really cool is the way he brings these universal images to modern life.

Home » Blogs » Padres Scorecard »
Nerves grow as draft deadline near
Written by | Bill Center | 11:04 a.m., Aug 12, 2009
There seems to be a panic out there because the Padres have yet to sign their Nos. 1, 2 and 4 picks.
I have no idea if all three will sign. Or none, which, of course, would be a disastrous outcome to the this year's draft.
But it is not surprising that the three unsigned picks are going down to the wire.
All three – No. 1 Donavan Tate, No. 2 Everett Williams and No. 4 Keyvius Sampson – are high school players with college options. They will take it as far as they can before signing on the dotted line.
Why would they not? Sign early and there's a very good chance that you might leave some money on the table. We're talking the baseball version of brinksmanship here. No one is going to blink until just before next Monday's signing deadline.
Teams that draft college seniors, as the Padres often have in the past, have a decided signing advantage. What is the drafted player to do? Not accept an offer and sit out a year – or play in an independent league - waiting for the next draft.
Players drafted out of high school in the early rounds are playing very strong hands. Agents know teams have to answer to angry fans if they fail to sign a No. 1. And there's always that college scholarship to play as a hole card.
So is it surprising that the Padres haven't signed Tate, Williams and Sampson yet? No. But check back with us if they don't sign them before the deadline.
PS, just because Tate, a center fielder who was the third overall pick in the June draft, has reported to the North Carolina football program means nothing. Last time we checked Tate, who is a quarterback, has the right to walk away.

To make sure the tailgate of the BMW X6 never strikes a garage roof or other obstacle, the angle of opening can be set to one of two settings. When the tailgate is in the lower position, the two-stage gas damper lets you open it fully using the pull-and-release principle familiar from ball-point pens. With the "automatic tailgate operation" option, you can even set five stages in the iDrive menu - then open or close the tailgate from the comfort of the cockpit, just by pressing a button. This version also includes a safety feature in the motor to prevent jamming.

VC Outlook: Google Ventures' Bill Maris On Doing The Impossible
As 2011 comes to a close, we asked several venture capital investors to reflect on the past year and give us their outlook for 2012. Continuing our series is Bill Maris, managing partner of Google Ventures.
Maris discusses an up-and-down 2011, the importance of talented entrepreneurs and the need to think big.
Looking back, how would you characterize 2011?
In terms of the venture business, 2011 finished with some of the same uncertainty with which it began, punctuated by a few hopeful blips in the form of some interesting IPOs and acquisitions. We saw persistent signs of activity in the venture world with a steady stream of funding for hundreds of entrepreneurs in a range of businesses from the cloud to mobile to climate to genomics.
What is the most important issue that the venture capital industry faces in 2012?
I think it's the same issue the VC industry always faces, and it's not a new one–how to identify and partner with the entrepreneurs who will create the most impactful businesses in the years to come. We are looking for highly technical, enthusiastic and capable entrepreneurs who have a healthy disregard for the impossible, and that's not always easy to find.
What impact, if any, do you think the more-difficult fund-raising environment will have on the industry in 2012?
I'm not sure that the fund-raising environment is actually more difficult than it has ever been. Convincing anyone to commit dollars–be it in the thousands or tens of millions–to a fund to invest in high-risk, high-beta companies and often untested entrepreneurs is never easy…and it shouldn't be.
What is your New Year's wish for the industry in 2012?
That we commit capital not just to lifestyle companies but to lifelong companies, where smart people work on the difficult scientific and engineering problems, like curing diseases, extending life, preventing pandemics and securing global food supplies.

Ready to go: Plant out dahlias now.

They are frost tender, and there is still a chance of frosts, but you must walk the fine line between letting them get established and keeping them protected. Keep fleece handy for colder nights. You will also need to protect their tasty young growth from slugs. A copper ring works wonders on dahlias, as well as on delphiniums, clematis and others with susceptible young growth. Be sure your basil bushesIf you have a greenhouse, it's time to start sowing basil in pots or seed trays. You can grow it on a windowsill and move it outside later, but basil hates the extreme temperature change that comes with the move to the garden. If it is going to spend most of the summer outdoors, wait for more reliably warm weather – nickys-nursery.com has a good range of basils, from the small-leaved, bush-like Greek to the big-leaved varieties.

As many of you may know, I am fascinated with the decision-making process of major leagues teams. I'm particularly interested in the statistical side, although obviously the scouts play an invaluable role (and the merging of the two "sides" is vital). The question I've seen asked most from people who read the Chris Long interview was, "do the [insert favorite team here] have one of these guys?"
So I took some time to look through each team's official Website to see if they have a similar position (Senior Quantitative Analyst). I'm also adding in other people I know, even if they aren't listed on the team's site. There are plenty of people like Chris Antonetti and many current general managers who kind of bridge the gap (with a strong statistical background), and I'm largely leaving those guys out. I'm trying to go strictly with the hardcore sabermetricians here.
Please feel free to mention any people I miss on your favorite team (or any you know, of course) and we'll try to make this into a little bit of a resource.
edit: Be sure to check the team media guides for more info on some of the front office execs.

115 million dollars for development of new malaria drugs
Geneva - The Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) has received $115 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Geneva-based non-profit organisation is dedicated to tackling malaria worldwide, and to delivering affordable drugs to vulnerable populations. Stakeholders and contributors amongst others include the British National Institutes of Health, the Netherlands Minister for Development Cooperation, the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation for Development, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, the United Kingdom Department for International Development and the British Wellcome Trust. The public-private partnership was established as a foundation in Switzerland in 1999. MMV is currently managing the largest-ever portfolio of over 50 antimalarial projects in collaboration with over 80 pharmaceutical, academic, and endemic-country partners in 44 countries. In collaboration with partners, MMV recently launched its first product - Coartem Dispersible, a paediatric formulation. Another MMV-supported product, Eurartesim, has been submitted to the EMEA for approval, and a third is being prepared for submission, while a further seven potential medicines are in clinical development. The portfolio of discovery projects includes 19 completely new classes of compounds. "With our partners, we have built a portfolio of more than 50 new projects", said Timothy Wells, CSO at MMV. "With the emergence of resistance to Artemisinin in Cambodia, it's clear that the ambitious goal of malaria eradication will require a wide range of new medicines. The new grant from the Gates Foundation will enable MMV to continue the development of the next generation of antimalarial medicines."

Catalyst 9.4Posted Thursday, 9 April, 2009 - 14:54 by Inertia in
I'm experiencing some problems with Catalyst 9.4 and GL 2.1 contexts created by OpenTK. GL 3.0 contexts work fine, and GL2 contexts created by humus demos work fine aswell. I'm positive that the issue also appears with release builds, problem is not related to debug geterror spam.
The problem is simply very poor performance, 2.5fps in applications that ran over screen refresh rate with Catalyst 9.3. No GL Error is reported, I've attached a log of running the FBO example from OpenTK. Looks ok though.
Is anyone experiencing the same issue? :|
|Catalyst 9.4 prob.log
Stencil size is 8bits as expected, the tokens look correct against the specs, DrawFramebuffer vs Framebuffer does not seem to affect anything - I have absolutely no idea where this InvalidEnum is coming from. I'll check on nvidia hardware tomorrow.
Float depth format you say? Worth a try.
Edit: No crash, but didn't work either (the result is all 0). I'll get some sleep and try again tomorrow.
Edit 2: Ok, tested on nvidia hardware. Results: pure depth renderbuffers work flawlessly (both integer and floating point formats). Why am I not surprised?
The InvalidEnum error with depth-stencil formats remains, which indicates an error in my code or in OpenTK. Will investigate further.
GL.FramebufferRenderbuffer(FramebufferTarget.Framebuffer, FramebufferAttachment.DepthStencilAttachment, RenderbufferTarget.Renderbuffer, id);
I do not think FramebufferAttachment.DepthStencilAttachment is right way to do it. You need to attach DepthStencil renderbuffer to two attachments - depth and stencil:
GL.FramebufferRenderbuffer(FramebufferTarget.Framebuffer, FramebufferAttachment.DepthAttachment, RenderbufferTarget.Renderbuffer, id); GL.FramebufferRenderbuffer(FramebufferTarget.Framebuffer, FramebufferAttachment.StencilAttachment, RenderbufferTarget.Renderbuffer, id);
That is at least how I am doing this all the time.
See here: http://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/ARB/framebuffer_object.txt
Usage Examples (from packed_depth_stencil)
(1) Attach a DEPTH_STENCIL texture image to an FBO as both the
depth and stencil buffers.
Makes sense. However, page 209 of the specs reads:
Setting attachment to the value DEPTH STENCIL ATTACHMENT is a special
case causing both the depth and stencil attachments of the framebuffer object to
be set to texture. texture must have base internal format DEPTH STENCIL, or the
depth and stencil framebuffer attachments will be incomplete (see section 4.4.4).
Which indicates this approach should work. I'll try specifying the attachments separately.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. – Freshman Trevor Setty scored 25 points to lead No. 22 Pikeville College to a 76-65 win over No. 7 Georgetown College Thursday night at the East Kentucky Expo Center.
Pikeville (14-2 overall, 2-1 in the Mid-South Conference) got the win before the largest crowd to ever see a Mid-South Conference regular-season game of 3,558.
Setty, a 6-8 guard from Maysville who transferred to Pikeville from Georgetown, made the Tigers pay. In addition to the points, Setty had five rebounds, four assists and three steals in 35 minutes of playing time.
Georgetown (14-4, 2-1) tied the game at 50 when freshman Jamel Ferguson scored on a layup with 13:02 left. But the Bears quickly reeled off six straight on layups by junior Andre Thornton, senior Jonathan Clark and Setty to take a lead it would never relinquish.
The Bears continued to build the lead, which got to 11 when junior Ryan Whitaker scored on a layup with 57 seconds left. That was also the final margin.
Pikeville shot 48.2 percent overall and was 50 percent (6-of-12) from the arc in the win. The Bears also sank 76.2 percent from the line. Georgetown was not as efficient, hitting 38.2 percent overall and only 12.5 percent of its threes. The Tigers were 63.6 percent from the line.
Setty was joined in double figures by Clark with 12 and junior Chris Donald with 11. Thornton led the Bears on the glass with nine rebounds to go with five points.
Georgetown had four players in double figures, with sophomore Vincent Crutcher leading the way with 14 points. Junior Eddie Gray followed with 12 points, four rebounds and four steals.
Sophomore Vic Moses, the Mid-South Conference player of the year last season, had 10 points and nine rebounds.
Pikeville will be back in action on Saturday, hosting St. Catharine College in a doubleheader that begins at 2 p.m. It's also Hall of Fame Day, with the ceremony being held in Booth Auditorium at 11 a.m.
