AMD Joins OpenJDK Project Sumatra
AMD announces its participation in OpenJDK Project "Sumatra" in collaboration with Oracle and other members of the OpenJDK community to help bring heterogeneous computing capabilities to Java for server and cloud environments.
According to the Sumatra project website, this project intends to enable Java applications to seamlessly take advantage of a GPU – whether it is a discrete device or integrated with a CPU – with the objective to improve the application performance.
Specifically, the project will explore how the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), as well as the Java language and APIs, might be enhanced to allow applications to take advantage of GPU acceleration, either in discrete graphics cards or in high-performance graphics processor cores, such as those found in AMD accelerated processing units (APUs).
According to the announcement, Project Sumatra may also provide guidance on enabling heterogeneous compute support for other JVM-based languages, such as Scala, JRuby, and Jython. You can join the OpenJDK community and Project Sumatra by visiting http://openjdk.java.net/. And, you can learn more about AMD's involvement in the project here.

Lake County mystery continues
August 11, 2011 - Robert Collias
UPDATE (7:49 a.m.): Here is the latest from the NABL website, "The Lake County Fielders failed to show up for the scheduled series in Maui yesterday. The league is in discussions with Lake County and Maui regarding the schedule for the remainder of the season and will make an announcement shortly."
Stay tuned right here for this ever-changing mess. I will do my best to keep up.
Here is a statement from the North American Baseball League that I found at about 9 p.m. last night:
"The North American League is disappointed to announce that the Lake County Fielders have eliminated themselves from the league by failing to appear for their scheduled series today," the short message on the website said. "Schedule changes will be announced shortly."
Interestingly, mysteriously — y'all can choose your own adjective at this point — that statement is now nowhere to be found on the NABL website.
And then there is this story from the Chicago Daily Herald, where apparently the Fielders gathered to come to Maui but didn't because all of them couldn't get on the same plane. Sorry if I sound skeptical, but that sounds eerily similar to a lot of other excuses I have heard from all around the NABL this season and last season in the Golden Baseball League.
And, again, I have to be at the locker rooms and stop owner Bob Young from leaving the scene in his rental car to pry a comment from Na Koa's front office (for my story this morning), while a Chicago newspaper has no problem getting them on the phone. Unbelievable.
Then, there is this update today from ballparkdigest.com, a reputable site that has kept up with the Fielders fiasco pretty well. This piece says that Richard Ehrenreich, the owner of the Fielders, is simply hanging around as a fall guy as new ownership is being cultivated — a very similar circumstance to what happened on Maui last year as the current ownership group took over late in the season, but kept original owner Michael Cummings around to the end of the season.
Whatever, it clearly appears that Maui's final homestand is off and that 15 scheduled games from last night through Aug. 23 against the Fielders are in serious jeopardy, at best. Does Maui bother with the final 12 games of the season in Chico and Texas after that? I seriously doubt it. I honestly think we have seen Na Koa Ikaika Maui play its final game, at least for this season, and very likely ever.
I will update when I hear anything. A press release from the league is supposed to be forthcoming.

The Cavaliers are going to show how highly they truly think of Lebron James, by giving up one second off of their shot clock in the Atlanta Hawks series.
LeBron believes that the 23 second shot clock will have no real effect on the game he is thoroughly behind the idea. He originally was against it, but with limited nudging he caved in.
We could not reach LeBron for response, but we did talk to Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers.
Jach Shore: "Kobe what do you think about this shot clock stunt they are doing in Cleveland?"
Kobe: "I don't get why LeBron would want to copy something I have already done."
Jach Shore: "Wait, how is this copying something you have already done? This is the first time this has ever happened in NBA history"
Kobe: "The shot clock reads 24. I wear 24. Why else would it be 24?"
Jach Shore: "Well I cannot argue with that point or rather do not wish to argue that point."
Kobe: "Check Mate"
How this one second deduction of the shot clock effect the game? Who knows maybe it won't have any effect or maybe it will cause numerous shot clock violations.
Either way, I think this showing of honor is just what LeBron needs. I mean he is the original 23 so we might as well bend the rules for him. Wait wasn't there a different 23. O probably not.

Donna and Brian Garland of Hopatcong are thankful for many things this Thanksgiving, not the least of which is the help and support of family and friends.
Ever since Donna, mother of 11-year-old quadruplets, was diagnosed with lung cancer, and then, in September, with having two inoperable brain tumors, dozens of friends, neighbors, co-workers and members of a church and school community have rallied around the Sussex County family.
They bring food, help with chores, hold fundraisers to help pay for the family's medical expenses and just come by regularly to spend time with Donna so she won't have to go through the suffering alone. A neighbor has even created a daily schedule of visitors because so many people want to help.
"I can't believe the help we're getting," Brian Garland said. "It's amazing."
The family has gone through a few difficult years, but the past two months have been particularly tough for Donna and Brian.
In 2004, Brian suffered an inoperable aneurysm in his neck. Donna supported the family until Brian could return to work. He suffered permanent nerve damage to his left eye and will need lifelong medication.
After that, life returned to normal for the Garlands until May 2006, when Donna was diagnosed with nonsmoking-related lung cancer. She had surgery a month later and started a long road to recovery. She continued to work and remained hopeful.
But in April 2007, she began having headaches and suffering memory lapses. Medical tests revealed three malignant brain tumors. One was removed, but the other two were inoperable and underwent radiation.
In March, a new tumor was discovered and a large portion of it was removed. Then, in September came the worst news -- there were no changes in the inoperable tumors and the area remained malignant.
But Donna, who now spends much of her day in bed, said she hasn't lost faith.
"I'm very positive," she said in a strong voice from a wheelchair at the dining room table.
Friends who call on the phone hear what has become her familiar refrain: "I'm kickin' ass."
"Through it all, Donna remains strong for her family and keeps her positive outlook," said Beth Vivian, a co-worker of Donna's from Wyndham hotels and resorts corporation in Parsippany, where Donna worked for 15 years as a hotel conversion coordinator. "Donna's spirit, strength and resolve are an inspiration to all who know her."
Donna's sense of humor is sharp as ever. Asked her age, the 40-something woman replied, "Oh, you can tell them I'm 29."
"You've got to keep laughing," said Brian, 46, her husband of 17 years.
The couple, who grew up in Kearny, met in 1986 and married in 1991, the same year they moved to Hopatcong.
"We got married, bought a house and I quit my job (in Jersey City, to relocate closer to home) all in the same two months," recalled Brian, a mechanic at Liberty Lincoln Mercury in Clifton.
They would go on to have fraternal quadruplets, sons Kevin, Brian and Sean and daughter Paige. The odds of giving birth naturally to fraternal quadruplets is about 1-in-600,000.
"There are multiples on each side of the family," Brian said. "It just worked out that way."
The children are sixth-graders at Hopatcong Middle School, active in youth sports and scouting, and are busy at home taking care of a new puppy.
Friends, neighbors and townsfolk all have pitched in to help keep the children on their schedule by bringing food or taking them to their sporting events. Neighbor Jennifer Dixon created the daily schedule for visitors to spread the help around.
"We're here all day, every day. We sit with her," Dixon said.
Wyndham co-workers also have been very supportive and have created "The Donna Committee" to assist the family, Vivian said. Last year, they held a benefit beefsteak dinner for the family.
St. Andrew Greek Orthodox Church in Randolph has also helped the Garlands with their mounting medical bills. Last weekend, they held a spaghetti dinner fundraiser. More than 300 people attended the dinner, which raised nearly $8,000, said George Moshen, the parish council president.
St. Andrew's got involved after a parishioner who knows Vivian learned of Donna's struggle and alerted the church's outreach committee.
"We fell in love with the family," Moshen said. "She's not of our denomination, but one of the things we try to do is really reach out. We're going to circle the wagons around the family and help out."
For more information or to contribute to the family's medical fund, visit angelkissesfordonna.com or call the church at (973) 584-0388.

Anyone else a single mom?
I was a single mom with six children. I know what it's like to get up night with a sick child, and I remember wishing I had someone to help me. My best advice is to not be in a hurry to find "Mr. Right". Concentrate on being a good mom to your baby. Usually you will find a nice guy who would be a good husband for you and a good daddy to your baby when you quit looking. I promise you when it happens, it will be worth the wait.
ive been divorced for 9 years..its hard at first but it does get easy.
I have serioius respect for single moms! I couldn't imagine being a single mother. My husband doesnt really help often but when he does it's so nice. I couldn't imagine supporting and raising a baby all on my own!
I am a singler mother of three, and actually since we separated and especially since the divorce, I feel like was a single mother of 4 and now just 3. He drained me more than the kids ever could and I am better off without him. Because I am better off, so are the kids. They are lucky enough to have him in their lives and actually when they're with him now it's more quality time than they every had while I was married. Anyhow, I too feel like I will never find a man to treat me and my kids right, but I still dream and hope and hang onto the possibility of some day. At least now I can focus on my girls who are my whole world.
I am a single mom too. I tried hard to keep me and my DDs father together, but now I realize how much better life is without him. I was a single mom for about 3 years before I met my BF. I now have a great BF who treats me and my daughter well, and maybe someday he will be my husband and I wont have to technically be a single mom anymore. Hang in there, and you are much better without a man who is abusive. My DD's dad was emotionally and verbally abusive, never physically. But that can be very draining on a person. Life is much better now with my BF. I am glad I had my education and career prior to having my DD. I absolutely have great respect for single mothers trying to go to school. I tried to study for 1 exam with my DD to get my EIT and it was hard - I couldnt imagine trying to get a degree with her.
I'm a single mom of a 2 year old boy and pregnant. My kids have the same dad. He was all over me and we were trying to work things out up to and on Christmas day, But then he went to a new years party and started dating and screwing another girl. I'm still Married to him and both of them new I was pregnant before they hooked up. IDK what to do or how to go about moving on.
:( I'm sorry mama. I know it's not easy. I'm a single mom, but I do have my parents help and support when I need it. Stay strong, keep your head up,and keep being an amazing mom!

Bauer, John Edward (1992) Hydrodynamic interactions in polymer dynamics. Dissertation (Ph.D.), California Institute of Technology. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechETD:etd-07202007-145157
A modification to the traditional bead-spring model of polymers is proposed, which properly accounts for the full hydrodynamic interactions between the beads. The new model uses the Stokesian dynamics simulation technique to calculate far-field, many-body effects as well as near-field lubrication and excluded-volume effects. No preaveraging of the interactions is required. In addition to the xF, "spring" contribution to the stress, the Stokesian dynamics model calculates hydrodynamic and direct Brownian contributions to the stress.
Orientations and stresses obtained from the Stokesian dynamics dumbbell were compared to predictions of the Rouse dumbbell (no hydrodynamic interaction) and the Zimm dumbbell (Rotne-Prager hydrodynamic interaction). Infinite-dilution behaviors were examined in steady, simple shear and oscillatory shear flows. In steady shear the Stokesian dynamics model provides no improvement over the Zimm model. Both give qualitatively similar results for shear and normal stresses. The hydrodynamic stress is constant and equal to the Einstein viscosity contribution from each bead. The Brownian stress is negligible. The analysis reveals how hydrodynamic interaction causes shear thinning. The interaction between the beads tilts the dumbbell towards the shear axis, reducing the xF contribution to the shear stress. The oscillatory-shear results are similar to the steady-shear results, except that the hydrodynamic stress results in a non-zero high-frequency viscosity. Hydrodynamic and Brownian stresses will provide greater contributions to the rheology of multibead chains, in which many-body effects are more important. This is true of both steady shear and oscillatory shear.
Simulations of non-dilute suspensions of Stokesian dynamics dumbbells were compared with results for suspensions of spheres at the same volume fractions. The xF stress reaches a maximum at a bead volume fraction of 0.15, above which hydrodynamic forces dominate the solution rheology. The interparticle forces have little effect on the magnitudes of the hydrodynamic and Brownian stresses. The interparticle forces become very dependent upon initial configuration at high volume fractions. It is hypothesized that there exists a critical volume fraction, above which the polymer distribution function will always be dependent upon the initial configuration and the shear history.

Blaze destroys Molokai home; boy hurt
Fire destroyed a home on Molokai late Monday afternoon, displacing a family of seven and causing a minor injury to a boy, Maui fire officials said.
Molokai firefighters responded to a 5:25 p.m. call to a structure fire on Seaside Place, said Fire Services Chief Lee Mainaga. When Kaunakakai firefighters arrived on the scene, they found the 1,400-square-foot single-family home fully engulfed in flames.
The fire was brought under control at 6:25 p.m., Mainaga said.
Three adults and four children occupied the home, and a child, a 7-year-old boy, had a minor injury to his hand. He was treated by medics and transported to Molokai General Hospital, Mainaga said.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home was destroyed, Mainaga said. Losses were estimated at $200,000. The cause of the fire was undetermined but likely accidental, Mainaga said.
The American Red Cross is assisting the family. Units from Hoolehua and Pukoo also joined in fighting the fire.
Police probe Waiehu Pit Stop robbery
Police are investigating a robbery Monday morning at Waiehu Pit Stop.
A person with a weapon entered the store at about 11:30 a.m. before leaving with an unknown amount of cash, police said.
Detectives remained at the scene Monday afternoon. Additional information wasn't available Monday.
Fire causes $70K in damage to cottage
A fire in a 600-square-foot Kihei cottage displaced two people and did $70,000 in damage on Sunday, Fire Services Chief Lee Mainaga said.
Kihei and Wailea firefighters responded to the blaze reported at 4:13 p.m. at 2138 Waimaka Place. When firefighters arrived at the cottage behind a main residence, they found about a quarter of it in flames, Mainaga said.
It was brought under control at 4:35 p.m. No injuries were reported, he said. Red Cross volunteers were called to assist the displaced residents.
The fire's cause remained undetermined Sunday evening, but it was believed to be accidental.
Mainaga said that there was $60,000 damage to the building and $10,000 damage to its contents.
Man dies after found floating in ocean
A 59-year-old Kahului man died Sunday after he was found floating facedown in the ocean off Kamaole Beach Park III in Kihei, police said.
He was identified as Stephen King of Kahului.
Emergency workers responded to the 3:16 p.m. call.
King, who was about 25 yards offshore, was brought to shore, where lifeguards and medics attempted to revive him, police said. He was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m.
The cause of death is pending autopsy results, police said.
Woman charged with abuse of boyfriend
A Kihei woman was arrested for felony abuse for using a broom to hit her boyfriend in the face and back early Monday while a child was present in the residence, police said.
Jennifer Difilippo, 39, was charged with felony abuse, second-degree assault, abuse and fourth-degree criminal property damage.
Kihei patrol officers were called to the residence at about 4 a.m., following an argument that began between 11 p.m.
and midnight Sunday, police said. Difilippo's live-in boy-friend reported that the argument later turned physical and Difilippo grabbed a broom that she used to hit him multiple times in the face and back, police said. He reported suffering pain.
At the time, a child under age 14 was in the home.
Under a state law that took effect June 20, a felony abuse charge can be brought when an abuse occurs in the presence of a family or household member under age 14 and the child hears, observes or is impacted by the abuse.
The criminal property damage charge was for a woodcarving that was damaged at the residence.
Arrest in case of man assaulting another
A Paia man was arrested for an assault on another man in a Paia bar, police said.
Paia Kealoha U'u, 26, was released after posting $1,000 bail on a second-degree assault charge.
The assault was reported at 11:45 p.m. July 18 by security for Charley's Restaurant and Saloon. A man who was in the bar with friends told police that, without warning, another man approached and punched the victim several times in the face. The victim, who didn't know his attacker, was stunned as the attacker ran from the bar, police said.
The victim suffered pain to his right eye and mouth, and two of his front teeth were loosened in the assault, police said.
After witnesses identified the assailant as Kealoha U'u, police issued an all-points bulletin for his arrest.
He was arrested Thursday when an officer stopped a vehicle that Kealoha U'u was driving, police said.

Ferris poised for Japan switch?
Ulster and Ireland flanker Stephen Ferris has been linked with a move to Japan.
The 27-year-old, currently sidelined with an ankle injury, is out of contract with the Irish Rugby Football Union at the end of the season and while he is understood to have been offered a new 'pay as you play' deal, he is reportedly poised to reject this in favour of a more lucrative offer from the Far East.
The Irish Independent reports that sources close to the deal say that a Japanese move has become a "viable option" and, while the deal is not yet finalised, "the likelihood is that the flanker will leave his home province after eight seasons of senior rugby".

Not your average 'schlub'—a memoir
"From Schlub to Stud: How To Embrace Your Inner Mensch and Conquer the Big City" by Max Gross (Skyhorse Publishing, $12.95).
Max Gross, by his own admission, used to be your average schlub: He sported an unkempt Jewfro, the bottoms of his jeans were tattered and he'd gamely put a good burger before a diet. In Gross's first book, "From Schlub to Stud: How To Embrace Your Inner Mensch and Conquer the Big City", he tells the tale of how some of this has changed: Now the burger and the diet are in a dead heat.
"The title is slightly misleading in that it's about reveling in your schlubbiness, not purging it from you," Gross said in a recent interview.
Indeed, the book is rife with advice on how to become a more functional schlub, rather than a former one. For instance, Gross advises his protégés, become a writer: "Dress code is flexible. As are working hours. And all the time you spend goofing off reading anything from Dostoevsky to Maxim magazine can legitimately be called research."
Before Gross joined the staff of the New York Post, where he is currently a reporter, he authored a column called "The Hapless Jewish Writer" for The Forward in Manhattan, while fielding phone calls from subscribers. Max discusses here the nuances of schlubbism.
Marissa Brostoff: Is there a paradox inherent in being a schlub with a book contract?
Max Gross: Maybe. There was something in 'The Hapless Jewish Writer' where I was supposed to fail horribly, and I succeeded -- it was either a horse race or a poker game -- and [an editor] said to me, 'We're going to have to change the name of the column.' But I don't think that schlubs are necessarily failures in life. They're a little disorganized, but that doesn't necessarily mean living at home with their parents.
MB: Who are some schlubs who have made it big?
MG: I think you can find them all throughout history. My father thinks that Kaiser Wilhelm II was a big schlub. When you think about it, here was a guy who had this incredible empire -- I mean, maybe it wasn't as great as the British or French empires, but he had a country that was going good, and he screwed it up forever.
My father also thinks Marion Barry is a schlub, because he got caught on film smoking crack. I'm convinced that makes him more of a schlemiel.
Golda Meir [was] a schlub. She's a successful schlub. And very unique in the sense that she's a badass schlub. She might be the only schlub that has ever had codes to nuclear weapons.
MB: Is there a schlub-Jewish connection beyond the fact that 'schlub' is a Yiddish word?
MG: I think most schlubs are Jews, but there are plenty of non-Jewish schlubs, just like I think most schlubs are male but there are certainly female schlubs. In a way, Judaism really values certain schlub characteristics. We were people that for centuries just sat around the prayer house and read. We weren't out, like, building.... And we all looked like the Satmars in [Brooklyn's] Williamsburg.
MB: Maybe being a schlub has something to do with not being assimilated.
MG: Actually, I think that I'm probably more of a schlub than my ancestors. My parents are extremely unschlubby. My mother is a fashion editor and my father is just a cool guy. They have no idea where I came from.
MB: You write that in 'a world of schlubby newspapers, the Forward is amongst the schlubbiest.' What makes you say that?
MG: Well, [the Forward] cover[s] a lot of schlubs. I think that, to a large extent, everybody that the Forward covers is a little bit schlubby. They're these organizations that are obsessed with one little thing that almost nobody else in the world is obsessed with.
MB: The cover of your book features an attractive, blond, un-schlubby-looking woman with her arms around you. Do you feel like you're more oriented toward women who are themselves schlubby, or women like the girl on the cover?
MG: A lot of shiksa-type women I'm not as into. I like talking about Jews and Jewish topics, and it just doesn't go over as well with non-Jewish people. Like if you want to talk about Israel all the time, and Saul Bellow, it's hard to find a shiksa who looks like that to be your soul mate.

FAU's Peaceful Mind/Peaceful World Series Offers Workshops and Lectures on Seeking Inner Peace
BOCA RATON (October 18, 2011) – Florida Atlantic University's Peace Studies Program presents the Peaceful Mind/Peaceful World outreach series. Now in its seventh year, the series offers workshops and lectures to help calm the mind and lift the spirit. Four workshops will be offered this year along with a lecture presented by the Buddhist nun Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo and another presented by former monk James Finley. Several Buddhist monks will also visit FAU to create a sand mandala.
All workshops are facilitated by Barbara Schmidt and Adriana Faraldo of Peaceful Mind/Peaceful Life. The first workshop will include a Yin Yoga class. This workshop will take place on Tuesday, November 1, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Mizner Park Cultural Arts Center in Mizner Park, Boca Raton and will be repeated on Saturday, November 5, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Senate Chambers of the Student Union on FAU's Boca Raton campus, 777 Glades Road. Each of these workshops is $25, and lunch is included.
The next three workshops will take place on Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and Tuesdays from 6 to 8:30 p.m. in the Senate Chambers of the Student Union on FAU's Boca Raton campus. On Saturday, December 3 and Tuesday, December 6 the theme is "Seeing Beneath Life's Experiences: Living a Life of Gratitude." The theme for Saturday, February 18 and Tuesday, February 21 is "Awaken your Heart: Uncovering our Truest Self," and the theme for Saturday, April 21 and Tuesday, April 24 is "Cultivating Patience in our Busy Lives: Removing Personal Obstacles." Registration is required, and seating is limited. To reserve a spot for any of the workshops, visit www.fauf.org/peaceful or call 561-297-2337.
The first lecture in the series will be presented by Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo and is titled "Into the Heart of Life." This lecture is on Saturday, January 7, at 4 p.m. and will include a book signing. Palmo left England for India at the age of 20 to pursue her Buddhist training and in 1964 became one of the first western women to be ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist Nun. After 12 years of study, she sought complete seclusion. Palmo spent the next 12 years in a cave. In 1999, she was encouraged to start a nunnery for young Buddhist girls and construction began on Dongyu Gatsal Ling Nunnery , a place that now welcomes more than 70 nuns. In recognition of her spiritual achievements as a nun and her efforts in promoting the status of female practitioners in Tibetan Buddhism, Palmo was given the rare title of Jetsunma, which means Venerable Master.
On her rare visits to the United States, Palmo has become an increasingly sought-after speaker. She was invited by The Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, New York to lead a weekend retreat with men and women on using life's obstacles to release our strength and energy. Palmo is recognized as a powerful proponent of the universal need for all human beings - men and women - to "realize their full potential." Tickets for this event can be purchased by visiting www.fauevents.com.
The next lecture in the series is with James Finley, a former student of Catholic monk Thomas Merton and other mystics. This lecture is on Thursday, January 26, at 7:30 p.m. at Florida International University. Details on this lecture can be found at http://casgroup.fiu.edu/religion/events.php. Finley uses a lifetime of experience to teach the benefits of meditation and childlike acceptance of the divine mystery.
Then on Saturday, February 25, a group of Buddhist monks will visit FAU to create a sand mandala in the Schmidt Gallery. There will be an opening ceremony on that day at noon, and the galleries will be open to the public through the week. The closing ceremony will take place on Saturday, March 3, at 1 p.m. There will also be a film presentation to explain the Buddhist tradition of Sand Mandala's on Wednesday, February 29, at 4 p.m. in the University Theatre. For more information on this event, visit www.fau.edu/peacestudies.
The Peaceful Mind/Peaceful World Series is presented by FAU's Peace Studies Program in the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, in partnership with the Schmidt Family Foundation. For more information about peace studies at FAU, call 561-297-2337.

Survived World War II before beginning career
Veteran East German actor Erwin Geschonnek, and father of director Matti Geschonnek, died March 13 of natural causes in Berlin. He was 101.
Born in Bartenstein, East Prussia, his family moved to Berlin's notorious Ackerstrasse working class neighborhood. One year later his mother died, and only two of five siblings survived their childhood.
He joined Germany's communist party KPD in 1919, and in 1934 emigrated into the Soviet Union, from where he was expelled by the Russian militia in 1938. Hardly back, he was arrested by the Nazis' secret police, and in the years to follow survived three concentration camps as well as the bombarding of refugee ship Cap Arcona, which cost over 3,000 lives.
In 1932 he had had his first celluloid appearance as an extra in classic social drama "Kuhle Wampe." But really started only in 1949 when author Bertold Brecht hired him for his Berliner Ensemble.
The many pics Geschonnek did in the following decades for East Germany's Defa Film include local classic "The Cold Heart," "Naked Among Wolves," "Jeder stirbt fuer sich allein," and especially "Jakob the Liar," the only Defa film that in was nominated for an Oscar (and later remade by Hollywood with Robin Williams).
Following the German reunification in 1990, Geschonnek appeared only one more time, on TV, in "Matulla und Busch," helmed by his son Matti.
He is survived by his fifth wife Heike, and by his children Matti, Fina, and Alexander.

I was absolutely shocked during the holidays when my middle son challenged my cooking skills. With the likes of Alton Brown, Rachael Ray and many other TV cooks, college kids are cooking and really enjoying it.
Cooking has become a popular hobby among college students over the last five years. It is not just the young women cooking, a large number of young men have joined the ranks.
I visited with several of my college-age friends and asked them what recipes inspire them. My son Andy, turns to his uncle Murray for advice on cooking comfort food. Patrick Lovelady uses a cookbook his mom Carol put together. Paul Wooldridge uses family recipes. Susie O'Brien's boys, Wales and Hamilton, prefer her easy men-pleasing recipes, and my son Gavin uses healthy recipes from my personal files.
The great thing about most of these recipes is the fact that they are all one-dish meals. I have personally made all of these recipes and highly recommend all of them. Share these recipes with your college age kids but also try them yourself.

Napoles is one of my favs. Love the product of two boxing schools. Love the smooth skills coupled with the mean intentions.
Watch him slip or duck and then in the same motion do something like a short fall step to get more force in the punches. You can also see in general how he can punch from the legs, even while evading blows. But that small footwork thing is just great.

No they are related to your misunderstanding of a SAN volume: neither
FC nor iSCSI have support for shared volumes. iSCSI is a block oriented
protocol, won't manage or access files. Protocols that support sharing
files are CIFS and NFS.
If they are, what alternatives do I

Have no idea what the last part of the sentence means (iSCSI folders? -
independent file structures? -two oxymoron?).

Try googling for "parallel file systems" perhaps that's what you mean.
You may also want to check out the Hammer from Bell Micro, It's a
storage box networkable via plain UDP that can do concurrent sharing of
files and volumes but you have to install an agent/driver/etc.. on each

The 2015 West Virginia Research Symposium took place at Marshall University this year.
Undergraduate students participating in the WV-Idea Network for Biomedical Research Excellence (WV-INBRE) program at both Marshall University and West Virginia University, Summer Research Internship for Minority Students (SRIMS), American Heart Association Undergraduate Summer Internship Research (AHA-USIR), Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) and summer researchers from several West Virginia universities and colleges presented posters detailing their summer research. Also included were WV-INBRE Fellows (high school and college faculty.)
Marshall hosted WV-INBRE, SRIMS and AHA-USIR members in our graduate biomedical research laboratories for nine weeks. In addition to their experiments, students had social networking opportunities and workshops on topics from laboratory safety to career and graduate school preparation.
We were pleased to welcome so many talented people to Huntington and our campus. The quality of work, evident in the laboratories and presentations, and the enthusiasm for research resulted in a very rewarding and energetic symposium. Thank you to all the planners, participants, faculty and staff who make this possible each year!

Apartment living can turn out to be beneficial in so many different ways, but it has many other provisions as well that one needs to give considerable thought to. Apartment living can be helpful for you to avoid many costs that have to be borne by all the homeowners and hence it lies softly on your pocket. But at times you get an apartment from a landlord who is always on the quest to get something extra from you in different kinds of charges and now and then comes up with something that has to be brought out of your pocket...Read More
Apartment living can be quite beneficial but at the same time you might have to face some problems like the landlord might be looking to charge you extra some times. One such case is for the regular wear & tear that naturally happens with time. People are not aware of what falls in normal wear & tear of the apartment and pay extra charges to their landlords just for something that they have nothing to do with. If your looking for apartments in Charlotte go here and you will be able to find out that for what you need to and for what you don't.
One of the normal wear & tear thing are the door hinges and locks. When you move into your new rental apartment you need to check for all the doors that might have loose or broken locks or hinges...Read More
Being aware of regular wear & tear prior to renting the apartment will allow you to save some amount that you might be charged by the owner telling that you handled damage.
The the regular wear & tear means any damages that occur, whether someone lives in an apartment for some time or not. This is something that is found common with the non-living things as the time passes. But sometimes owner tries to charge the tenant for this holding him responsible for all the damages. This situation can, however, be avoided if you take some pictures of the areas that are likely to see some wear & tear with time. If your looking for apartments in Charlotte, go here and take the pictures of different such areas prior to getting inside the apartment for living...Read More

looking for info on some good powder bullet choices. i use 140 and 154gr now but am looking at some berger 180s. my rifle has a 26'' .805 at muzzle barrel. i use reloader 19 now and am wondering if anyone uses the rl 25


text: San Francisco's Stoic Violence have their brand new debut 12″ available now from Katorga Works and Video Disease. It's a split 12″ released through both labels that has the band leaving the gnarly dirty sound from their demos and embracing the use of a studio and a cleaner recording approach. You can check out one of the tracks – "Wretched Existence" – from the 8-song record below for a better idea of what we're talking about. The self-titled album is loaded with chainsaw riffage and fuzzy bass and what more could you ask for? You can snag it from either label right now – here or here – but you should probably get on it sooner than later. As all KW releases go – you can also download it in-full for free right here.

"He declares himself guilty who justifies himself before accusation." Thomas Fuller, "Gnomologia" (1732).
If you read my column you know how I feel about Quarter Midget racing. I have always considered it a paragon of sportsmanship compared to more typical stick-and-ball sports, especially in terms of parental behavior. Screaming parents, berated coaches, flaming emails, secret meetings - all have gone to negatively color these sports. With adult egos so big that they routinely eclipse the sun on gamedays, what lesson do children learn other than skulduggery?
In Quarter Midget racing, I see so much hard work and cooperation, and you come away having met some of the most polite competitors in one of the toughest sports. Then there is the exception to the rule. To wit; erstwhile Quarter Midget veteran Joey Logano, driver of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Home Depot No. 20. Three wins, three wrecks of competitors this season. Mr. Sliced Bread, as he was known, has turned into a soggy loaf, having missed the Chase the last three years. Now, it's a contract year, and he's taking a page out of the Kurt Busch book of driver etiquette to keep his contract and stay in racing.

The latest chrome horn recipient was gentleman racer Mark Martin. Let's think this one through. How smart is it to bump a wily veteran with 1,152 races in NASCAR overall, plus countless other races, who is not racing for points this year and can stick Logano into the SAFER barrier like an errant lawn dart. Michael Waltrip Racing won't even have to buff any orange paint off the No. 55 Toyota Camry. Have at it boys!
This week real talent in the form of the USAC QM Eastern Storm was at the Hagerstown QM track, with drivers from all over the eastern seaboard and points west. This is the future of racing, and many of these names will soon dot top billing on NASCAR, USAC and IRL websites. Some you already know. Harrison Burton was there, Stewart Haas Racing and Dale Earnhardt Racing teams were represented and there were 187 racers in total.
There were people from everywhere east of the Mississippi.
Friday was practice, and all day Saturday were a string of heat races with close in competition in each turn. As tight as this track is, the boys and girls dove fearlessly into the smallest openings to pass. Martinsburg resident Andy Bosley pulled out a second in the Senior Honda C Main and one race later was in the B Main as he came around Turn 3 only to find a spun car in Turn 4 the hard way.
As Andy said, "I saw blue, then I saw stars." He was able to finish and almost snuck into the A Main. Instead, it was back to the garage to change a front axle.
Also from Martinsburg was Shelby Nick racing in the Red Novice class. He has already accumulated wins and a bevy of top 5s. It should only be a matter of time before he's moving up, especially when you consider his A Main win Sunday. And if any of the young racers needed any inspiration, it was at the big track as the World of Outlaws Late Models roared to life for their 50-lap feature with 36 cars in for the nighttime race.
Tim McReadie won the Outlaw race and then nicely put a heckler in his place. Local driver Duane Harbaugh did well out of the conci, but the mechanical gremlins stayed perched on his hauler, ending his night early as he smartly pulled off to avoid bringing out a caution. When in doubt - be classy.
On Sunday, your kids have an opportunity to make their first steps into racing when the second Driving Experience rolls off at the Hagerstown QM track at 1 p.m. For $20 preregistered, and $25 the day of, any child between the ages of 5 and 14 can take 10 laps in a Quarter Midget racer. All the safety equipment is supplied. All you need is to make sure your child is dressed in shoes, socks, jeans and armed with a birth certificate. Registration is from noon-12:30 p.m., instruction is from 12:30-1 p.m. and the dawn of the next generation of racing begins at 1 p.m. Go to www.hagerstownqma.com.
By the way, racing is equal opportunity so bring your daughters. Just a couple of bright examples. Johanna Long, who races for Mary Louise Miller out of Indiana, finished 16th this week at Michigan in her rookie year in NASCAR Nationwide, two spots ahead of a certain green car.
In Delaware, Staci Warrington picked up another win in the highly competitive Super Late Models, making it four wins in her young career and making her the winningest female racer in a top division, hands down. She's currently fourth in points as well.
Keeping up to date on local drivers, Josh Richards was doing well in the Nationwide race until he let off the gas just a bit and was hit by Jamie Dick. Actually, it was quite comical afterward when Richards car rolled away with no one behind the wheel. Find the YouTube. Tony Catlett returns to action at Hagerstown second in points with his Ford Pure Stock. Finally, Darrin Younker of Berkeley Springs, one of the original shoestring operators in racing, now driving the Dave Hessong Pure Stock, scored a win last week in his third start. Just another reason to find your way to the track. We'll see you there.
Remember, if you don't have dirt on ya, it wasn't a race.

In close vote, Lula goes to runoff
SÃO PAOLO, Brazil — President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the 60-year-old former factory worker and labor union leader, on Oct. 1 narrowly fell short of the majority vote needed to avoid a runoff election here. The political coalition of the Worker's Party and the Communist Party of Brazil that backed "Lula" had 48.6 percent of the vote, just shy of the 50-percent-plus-one needed for an outright win.

Cubs Say No to Winning Record
I think that was the first game I got to watch in its near entirety in about 2 weeks. My apologies for the outcome.
The Good: After Gorzelanny finished his warm-ups, he mowed the Nationals down through 7 innings. The problem was it took him 3 batters into the game to finish loosening up. Geovany Soto went 2/4 and Kosuke Fukudome reached base 3 times, twice on walks to set-up getting stranded by Lee, Byrd and Ramirez. Soto also gunned down two very capable baserunners in Wily Taveras and Justin Maxwell.
The Bad: Gorz is now 0-3 despite a 2.45 ERA and as mentioned, took 3 batters to get going. Those 3 batters included a stand-up triple by Nyjer Morgan to leadoff the game that he hit to left center. I didn't even know that was possible. Then Ian Desmond singled Morgan in, and stole off the lefty Gorz. Christian Guzman launched a ball into centerfield into the teeth of the wind that Marlon Byrd completely lost track of leading to the second triple of the inning. Gorz settled in and stranded Guzman and didn't run into much trouble the rest of the night. The bullpen gave up another run in the 8th, with Grab-Ass being the culprit thanks to his own throwing error. The 3 through 6 hitters went a combined 2/16 including Lee, Byrd and Ramirez all getting a crack with 2 runners on in the bottom of the 8th. Matt 'Could've Been a Cub' Capps nailed down his 9th save in 9 opportunities.
The Minors: Iowa picked up the 4-3 win in a shortened double-header in the first game.. Thomas Diamond throws 5 scoreless with 5 K's and Jeff Samardzija got the win with 1.2 scoreless innings and no walks with a K. Brad Snyder went 2/4 and Sam Fuld got on-base twice out of the leadoff spot. They won 4-2 in the 2nd game with Casey Coleman throwing 6 innings and giving up 2 runs. Mitch Atkins picked up the save in the 7th in that one. The white hot Smokies take a rare loss but Starlin Castro went 3/5 with a double. Ryan Flaherty, who is off to a poor start, did go 1/2 with 2 walks. Daytona won 3-1 with Alberto Cabrera throwing 5.2 scoreless innings with 6 K's. Aaron Shafer extended his scoreless streak to 16 innings in relief. Matt Spencer and Rebel Ridling homered, but B. Jackson, Vitters, LeMahieu and Burke were a combined 0/12. Peoria won 5-4 with Trey McNutt going 5 innings, giving up a run and striking out 5. Larry Suarez threw 2 scoreless innings. Greg Rohan homered and Hak-Ju Lee went 1/4 with a run scored and a double out of the leadoff spot.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
"Greg Rohan homered"
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
Rob, not to be nitpicky, but the I-Cubs played a double header yesterday, which is why the game only went 7 innings. They won the second game also, Casey Coleman pitched six innings to pick up the win, while giving up 2 earnies over six innings. Marquez Smith, Wellington Castillo, and Brian LeHair all went 2-3 on the day. Mitch Atkins came on in the 7th and notched the save.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
The Cardinals signed Aaron Miles to a minor league contract.
I thought we were done with him.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
I'll say it one more time:
Was Aaron Miles ever NOT playing for the Cardinals?
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
Good point.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
samardzija brought in w/ bases loaded, one out jam & worked out of it w/ team trailing; got the win after a walk-off rally...
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
I went last night. It was very cold, although the wind was not bad.
Some random impressions:
Lee and Ramirez each hit the ball hard into long outs.
The Nationals ran aggressively (and successfully) against Grabow. Don't know if the scouting report is that he's easy to run against. He also was a little slow off the mound on Morgan and rushed the throw.
Liked Soriano's opposite field single with 2 strikes. Did not like his other ABs. Liked his first to third advance on the single to center. Did not even draw a throw.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
Yeah, Soriano looked good there - that even looked like a slider he hit.
It's a bad time of year to try to hit HR's - Soto got the Memo but Ramirez and Lee not so much.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
Resist the urge for Todd Coffey. The Reds fans would LOVE for us to get him. I saw a lot of epic fails on his part as a Reds reliever.
The pen and the offense were red flags before the end of last season and should have been addressed.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
What about Juan Cruz?
Is he worth picking up?
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
Bruce Miles from his blog:
"You never say never, but the Cubs don't have much interest. They don't like him as an eighth-inning guy, and they feel they have better than Cruz to get to Z and Marmol with. I don't see it unless something changes."
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
what...they're not going to drag this out for 3-5 years?
they must not be using Twitter to discuss PEDs or something.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
couple of passed balls? ouch...
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
Trying not to get overly excited
but Colvin has been a beast so far this season. It's nice to see a young player have a good month, even if that's all it is.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
Think Cubs could flip gorzy for wood come June?
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
nice catch byrd. next time follow it up with a sac fly.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
And Fontenot, if you're down 1 run and you come up to bat with the bases loaded and work a 3-1 count... let's not swing unless it's meatball right down the middle.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
Yeah, right. Fontenot is THE problem.
Not the black hole named Lee/Ramirez
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
I'm sorry, I shall never complain about the great Fontenot or anything he does ever again.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
I know I'm in the minority, here, but I think Fontenot sucks balls.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
He is usually the closest to them.....
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
Why Do You Hate Soto, Lou?
Or does he just buy into defined roles and handedness matchups this much? Regardless of what Tracy does here, how do you not use Soto when you are going to pinch hit for Hill? He's arguably the best hitter on the team right now.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
And now Nady in to hit for Dempster, even though Soto will have to come in to play defense for Hill! Nady and Tracy have been ice cold! AHHHHHHH!!!!!! I'm gonna go shout at my toaster.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
Lou not happy in post game interview
Asks reporter for baseball cred "What kind of baseball did you play?"
Asked about the hitters not hitting-"ask the players"
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
"ask the players"
...yeah, that worked for milton.
managers manage. it's not a 3-4 hour day then you clock out. how about protecting players, calling out players, or otherwise giving the reporters some sound bites to get them off the clubhouse?
can we quit having 3+m dollar managers and pretending like they're football coaches who create massive playbook strategies for a once-a-week throwdown?
thanks yanks for paying joe torre 5-8m all these years creating the "elite" manager class when so few have so little differences.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
I hope I get a job someday where I'm aloud to throw a public hissy fit and still earn millions of dollars without having any identifiable skills while making some decisions even more poorly than individuals with less expertise would.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
At least you got the skills part covered.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
True. That.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
Nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills. Chicks must love you.
Re: Cubs Say No to Winning Record
I'm training to be a cage fighter.

soler + hammel for mike trout is pretty much a sure thing. *nods*
Not an inspired outing by Rondon. Seemingly got ahead of every hitter but had no swing and miss pitch today, slider had no bite.
Somebody give Soler some smelling salts - yeesh
And...now that runner scores on a single...
So where do you think Soler will be traded to this off season?
And right on cue he throws to third with no chance to get runner on 2nd so the batter takes 2nd easily. How long has he been playing baseball??
Man you cannot put Soler out there late in games for Playoffs. Yuch...
Such is the life of a fatted calf...
fowler with a triple in the 4th...he's a HR away from a "natural" cycle
...and contreras takes one off the hand and he's in obvious pain. sigh.
he's staying in the game, though he's wringing his hand out during breaks in the action. aside from that he seems to have no issue giving signs or tossing back to the pitcher.
...and he's batting in the cubs half of the following inning. sweet.
his collapse started on august 21st this season...so it's a slight improvement.
but wow, what a collapse since then...only 2 out of 7 can be considered good/decent.
I'm really going to enjoy watching Hammel watch the playoffs.

I would love to have found an organization called the Ticked-off Drivers Association. It would have been dedicated to soothing the wounds of all those drivers who get ticked off at others who are clever enough to drive the speed limit, or who are not driving fast enough to make the ticked-offs happy, or who just happen to be in the way of a ticked-off who is running late and was too ninnyhammer to have left a little earlier to begin with.
I was coming home the other day when a woman drove up behind me and beeped her horn. I couldn't figure out what her problem was, because although I was driving in the passing lane, I was doing so at the proper speed and could not get over due to the heavy line of traffic in that lane. Needless to say, she could not either, but she decided to beep and even did so a second time.
I was feeling a little devilish that day, so I decided to slow down to 10 miles below the speed limit. We were at the light by now, so I really had her where I wanted her. She beeped for the third time. When the light changed, I crawled through the intersection. The traffic on the right was moving a bit faster now, but I continued to crawl anyway. Eventually, she was able to get around me, and I proceeded to speed up.
Two days later, while I was once again in the left lane, a BMW convertible sport came speeding up behind me. But instead of beeping, he cut into the center lane designated for left turns, then cut back in front of me and proceeded to go through the red light. Had a cop been on the scene, he could have made his quota.
Now it is rare for me to encounter three ticked-offs in the same week, not to mention two on the same day. But that's what happened, because as soon as Mr. BMW was out of the way, another car, speeding, came up behind me and started to blow. However, he was a little more successful than Ms. Beep, Beep. He was able to get into the slow lane and then back to the passing lane, but just one car ahead. He was really ticked: bulging eyes, fiery dragon's breath and insanity, profanity untold. Oh, in case you're wondering, it is possible to see a dragon's breath.
But what had we here? By the next light, the traffic had stopped, and there was Mr. Dragon, fuming behind the 15 cars ahead of him. As I passed him, I thought about flipping him the bird, but I doubt that he would have noticed. The cabin of his jet-mobile was so steamed up, he could hardly see through the window shield. Finally, as I was turning the corner, there was Mr. BMW, right in front of me.
I wonder why Americans are always in such a hurry. It seems we have been on this trek since the invention of every technology known to man. Perhaps a good way to assess a country's level of public insanity is to observe the way its people drive.
I usually hesitate now, when the signal changes, to give the ticked-offs a chance to speed through the red light – but only to be stopped by the next. I laugh about Ms. Beep, Beep, Mr. BMW and Mr. Dragon. I'm sure in their own ways they are quite the people to know. Perhaps their patience wears a little thin at times, so who better to punish than the driver who observes the speed limit?
The ticked-offs are really sad. They fail to realize that the driver who observes and complies might be the one who is saving their lives.
