Featured Golf News
'Out of Bounds' by John Corrigan
Sometimes wine drinkers will order a label that did not impress them the first time but are willing to give it another try. In a similar vein, I read Corrigan's book after failing to enjoy his previous effort, "Bad Lie." Unfortunately, the second go-round also failed to impress.
Corrigan's premise for his golf-detective series is simply implausible. How can Jack Austin, a PGA Tour pro, also be the world's best detective while trying to whip Tiger Woods every weekend?
"Out of Bounds" begins at a funeral of a fellow pro who was murdered in a Chicago alley. The Chicago homicide police dismiss the crime as a mugging and don't investigate as they're too busy. But a good friend of Jack's asks him to investigate since the evidence suggests a contract hit and is not the mugging murder considered by the police.
At about this time Jack is elected to the Tour's Players' Advisory Board by his peers. To me, this implies that he must be a pretty upstanding citizen. But a few pages later I learn he doesn't like a rule that prohibits caddies from entering the Players Room and has been fined over eight times in a season over this objection. This is the kind of person who drives me nuts: Rules are for others but not for me. If Austin doesn't believe in the rule, then get it changed through the due process he's now a part of.
He then flies to Chicago to talk to the widow under false pretenses to gain her trust. Again, I thought this was a man considered by his peers as intelligent and of good character. Later on, Austin gets into a scuffle in a locker room and slugs someone, earning a $100,000 fine from the tour commissioner. Jack accepts the penalty and steps down from the board.
Corrigan's book jumps all over the place, with very few stops making much sense to me. At times, it seems he just throws stuff at the reader to juice up the narrative, despite the fact it has no connection to other parts of the story.
Much like the bottle of wine, if you liked his previous effort, buy Corrigan's latest book. For me, I didn't like "Hot Shot" and don't care for "Out of Bounds." If I start a bottle of wine and find it uninteresting, I pour out the rest rather than drink it. After 110 pages, I felt the same about this book. I'd much rather spend my time reading something with more body and taste.

|Creamless Cream of Tomato Soup with Pasta
I have to admit that I used to make them Campbell's Tomato soup before I realized how much sugar (high fructose corn syrup) and additives (wheat flour, potassium chloride, flavoring, monopotassium phosphate) were in it. As I've come to learn, "flavoring" means chemicals, and anything I can barely pronounce like "monopotassium phosphate" can't be a good thing to be consuming. So, now that I am better informed, I have been recreating foods that my kids love, sticking to the basics, and keeping foods as healthy as possible, without all the preservatives and additives.
|Use your favorite whole wheat pasta or quinoa. I happen to like Whole Wheat Israeli Couscous.
I will be adding this to my collection of creamless creamy soups: Creamless Cream of Carrot, Creamless Cream of Cauliflower, Thai Curried Roasted Butternut Squash Soup, and Creamless Cream of Mushroom Soup.

|» All About Age of Sail 2 on ActionTrip
Branislav "Bane" Babovic
Many game developers tried to capture the true atmosphere of sea combat over the last couple of years. Regardless of the time and place they chose for their games, those games turned out to be failures, with the possible exception of Silent Hunter serial.
The first part of Age of Sail used a real-time strategy engine, which reduced this game to a bunch of ambiguous controls and monotonous battles. The development of the sequel was entrusted to the Russian "Akella Software" (who developed the recent hit - Sea Dogs), and the renowned "Talonsoft" published it. I have to admit that this is the first game of this kind that got my full attention.
AoS II will give you a realistic insight into the historical battles that took place between 1775 and 1820. Apart from the historical battles, the game also includes a large number of hypothetical scenarios. I personally found the battles taking place in the Black Sea between the Russian and Turkish fleet most interesting.
This game features about 120 scenarios, which will vary from single ship fights to glorious battles with entire fleets. The missions are relatively short. You will hardly ever get to play a mission for more than an hour, primarily due to the extremely convenient "time-compression" option. The AI enemies did not prove to be too smart (although patch v1.1 fixes this problem). It is quite easy to develop a functional strategy and beat your opponent even in the hardest scenarios. The fight lasts until the enemy vessels strike their banners, or go for some scuba diving; or indeed, vice-versa Some scenarios on higher levels feature well-fortified harbors that will bombard your armada. I did not like the fact that the missions are linearly tied into a campaign. I would appreciate it much more if the players' actions actually influenced the course of the game like in Sea Dogs. Open and dynamic campaigns would be far more appealing. The scenarios are based on historical facts, which made this feature impossible. Your captain can achieve higher rank, command wide formations, repair ships, equip them and man them. Yet, these features will in no way influence the campaign itself. In some cases, your superior will take away some ships from you as "they are needed elsewhere" Conspiracy theory or what?
The in-game atmosphere is fantastic. The background music is flawless, and it greatly improves the overall atmosphere. The sound effects do not fall far behind, as they include all you can expect from a game of this type: sails being ripped, wood being broken, the sound of the waves, gushing of water into a sinking ship... The graphic design is impressive and can only be compared to Sea Dogs. All the visuals are astonishing, but I was most surprised by the animations of the tiny sailors running around on decks.
Playability is sure an interesting issue here. At first, you're bound to have a hard time with the plethora of moveable tool-bars, which comprise the interface. They are ambiguous and blurry and I have really no idea why the programmers decided to use this approach instead of the far more convenient drop-down menus. The controls will, as I said, give you a couple of nasty surprises if you miss the desired control in a crucial moment (like you raise the sails instead of changing them to full sails). The controls of the ships seems interesting enough, as you will have a virtual rudder at your disposal. There's also the weather vane, and the cannons (you can choose between grain, chains, ordinary balls and so on). Controlling your fleet will be easy enough, as it will only take group selecting your ships just like in any RTS. Once you have them group-selected, they will all move and act the same; you can assign them the desired formation using the "formations" toolbar. This made assigning formations a bit more difficult as you will have to go through two menus before actually issuing the order, which is less than convenient in a quick battle (if all else fails though, you can pause the game and then issue the correct orders - kinda like a turn-based break). Apart from that, the rest of the controls are relatively elegant. This is highly commendable, especially if we compare these controls to the controls from the original Age Of Sail, which required you to be a real naval officer in order to be able to cope with them. This doesn't mean that the sequel has been over-simplified - it's simply more approachable and playable.
Finally, I have to mention that the game is loaded with bugs. Fortunately, the developer published a patch even before the game hit the stores. Age of Sail II is truly an interesting piece of work, not only because it is currently the only naval sim, but also because the gameplay and the brilliant atmosphere.
7.8 Good
Great ship models, perfect atmosphere and sound effects;
Bugs, formation controls and the interface outlooks.

There's barely a wasted moment in Joseph Gordon-Levitt's hilarious and wise Don Jon. Well, as long as you don't consider a guy obsessively watching porn and doing what follows as "wasted." The title character (Gordon-Levitt) certainly doesn't.
"ALL guys watch porn, every day," he insists to one and all. But as frenetically as he does? "It's not that I can't stop. But why should I?"
That's fine when you're strutting through the bars with your buds (Rob Brown, Jeremy Luke), bagging and bragging about it. Then Jon, whose pals call him "The Don," meets "a dime."
Yeah, Barbara (Scarlett Johansson) is a "10" all right. But this Jersey girl has her eyes on the prize. Not Jon as he is, but Jon as he could be. She teases and tempts him and has him enrolling in night school and trying to make his parents behave when they meet her.
"You don't think I could make you happy if I wanted to?" she purrs, and he's putty in her hands.
So Jon faces his dilemma — giving up porn, or lying to Barbara, confessing his sins to the priest every week, doing his Hail Marys and Lord's Prayer recital during his reps at the gym and raging at the world from behind the wheel of his 1972 Chevelle,
Tony Danza is riotously funny as the sports-obsessed, foul-mouthed rage-aholic dad who lets us see the tree that Jon fell from. Glenne Headly lands lots of laughs as his Catholic, grandchildren-obsessed mother.
Gordon-Levitt, who wrote and directed, wasn't content to just create a world not far from the Jersey Shore and people it with funny characters. His brisk little comedy turns dark and deep in the third act. That's when the great Julianne Moore shows up as Esther, a funny-tragic and nonjudgmental classmate of Jon's in night school.
With Don Jon, Gordon-Levitt hasn't made a great movie. But he has made a fun one, short and sweet, with a third-act punch that is so to-the-point it'll take your breath away.
B+ Directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. R (strong graphic sexual material and dialogue throughout, nudity, language and some drug use). 88 mins. In wide release.

Roth IRA As An Emergency Fund
|Email Print
Here is a question (paraphrased) posed on the Fatwallet Finance forum:
If I make a contribution to my Roth this year (2006) and then withdraw that amount, does it count against my yearly contribution? The short answer is No. According to Chapter 2 of Publication 590 on Roth IRAs, "If you withdraw contributions (including any net earnings on the contributions) by the due date of your return for the year in which you made the contribution, the contributions are treated as if you never made them." (link)
So, Joe Bucks contributes $2000 to his Roth IRA in January of this year as a 2006 contribution (since you're able to make contributions for the prior year all the way until the day your tax filing is due). In July 2006, a pipe bursts in his home and Joe needs to find money to help fix the damage. He can dip into his Roth IRA and withdraw the $2000 he contributed in $2000. In November of 2006, he receives a profit sharing bonus from where he works and now is able to put the maximum $4000 into his Roth IRA. So, while the net effect is a +$4000 into his account, he's contributed $6000 and withdrawn $2000.
Roth IRA 2006 Contribution:
Jan-2006: $2000
July-2006: $0
Nov-2006: $4000
Correct me if I'm wrong but what this means is that you can use your Roth IRA as a short term emergency fund and not suffer consequences. While you can always take out money from your Roth IRA tax-free, you can't contribute into prior years. So if Joe had to dip into his 2005 contributions, he would be able to get the money tax free but he wouldn't be able to replace it afterwards.{ 23 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

The sandwich chain spokesperson popped the question to his girlfriend of a year, Katie McLaughlin, a teacher, last November.
"She's been so wonderful and caring. She's just been the most supportive woman," says Fogle, who proposed near the campus of Indiana University, the couple's alma mater. "I couldn't ask for more."
McLaughlin, 30, and Fogle, 32, plan to exchange vows this summer. But not before Fogle gets back into shape after letting himself go and gaining more than 40 lbs. last year.
"I look at it as a little bit of a hiccup," Fogle says of his recent weight gain, which resulted from "not exercising as much as I should have and not paying attention to what I was eating."
Now back on track with a more disciplined 2,000-calorie-a-day diet that still includes some of his favorite snacks ("Different flavor pretzels are my big thing"), Fogle is also training for a marathon this fall.
"I'm going to look darn good in those wedding pictures!" he says.
This will be the second marriage for Fogle.

text: Hey guys... I'm not a religious type person so I don't normally ask this kind of favor but if you could, please say a prayer for my dad. He went to the ER tonight with what I suspect is deep vein thrombosis. If that's it, I know what they'll do to treat him and chances are he'll be fine, but if you could say a prayer or send well wishes or keep him in your thoughts or whatever, I'd truly appreciate it. We can never be too cautious or conservative with well wishes and prayers.

So now I can check to see that my batch render has completed, and I'll just do that by opening the Script Editor. So, I'm just going to click down here in the lower right side of the Maya interface, double-click to bring it up, and if I scroll up in the History here of the Script Editor, I can see Rendering Completed, and the images have been put into my project directory for this, is Exercise Files, and the image sequences have been put in the images directory. So at this point I can go onto After Effects and start putting together a composition.
So, I'll minimize Maya. This is my Maya project directory called Exercise Files. I'm going to double-click on the images directory, and you can see I have several image sequences here. I have the colorMask, which was created with the color mask render layer. So no passes were created for this - it was just a single render layer with no render passes - but I do have my toy render layer. If I double-click on this, I can see that I have a MasterBeauty pass, toy Ambient Occlusion, AO stands for Ambient Occlusion, toyDiffuse, Reflection, and Specular, and these are all the passes that I created. And if you remember when I was in Maya, and I set these passes up - I'll go in the Render Settings window and click on the Passes tab - you can see that this is using exactly the names that I gave each one of these render passes.
So, it's a really good idea to give your render passes descriptive names, especially when you bring them into After Effects and you start putting together your composition. You'll have an easier time keeping your layers straight. So, I'm going to minimize this, and let's go over to After Effects, and I started putting together a composition here. And to bring these file sequences in, you just go to File > Import > Multiple Files, and I'm just going to my Exercise File project, under images. Here are the image sequence.
So, for instance, if I want to import colorMask, I'll just select the first one in the sequence and make sure IFF Sequence is selected and just do Open, and it'll bring them in, and I already have that actually in the project. So I'll close this. I just wanted to point out a couple of quick things about how I've arranged my composite. This is just a very quick demonstration composite. I've done a couple things. I've used the colorMask as a way to separate individual elements for editing. For instance, I have an adjustment layer that has a number of effects on it.
So, if I look at the Effects Control, I have a Hue, Saturation and Levels, just to do quick color correction, but I've set the Alpha Matte to the colorMask layer. And remember this layer basically has the toy in red, the ball in green, and the floor in blue, and I've Set the Matte to the Red Channel. So, now this colorMask layer is using the Set Matte effect, so that only the Red Channel is visible on the Alpha. So, what that means is that if I go back to my composite, and I start to make adjustments to the effects on the adjustment layer, as I start to adjust things like the Saturation, it's only being applied to the toy, because I am using the colorMask as a way to extract the toy, and it's just a matter of convenience.
I can continue to make adjustment layers and add other copies of the colorMask if I want to separate effects for the chrome ball and the floor and so on and so forth. I have several pre-compositions here: one for the toy and one for the ball. If I double-click on the toyComp, you'll see this is what it looks like, and pre-comp is made up of the render passes. So, for instance, I have the Specular on top and the mode set to Screen, so this allows me to make adjustments to that layer by itself.
So, for instance, if I wanted to do something like a glow, just on that Specular channel, I could do that, because the Specular pass has been separated from the rest. And a better example might be if I wanted to change the color of that Specular highlight, I could go and add a Hue and Saturation effect, turn on Colorize, and now I can start adjusting colors to that Specular highlight, and so on and so forth.
So that's the advantage of having these passes separated. So, if I turn off Specular, you can see, this is the Diffuse and the Reflection and the Ambient Occlusion. I have the Reflections at the Screen, so I can turn that off. Now, we're just seeing Diffuse and Ambient Occlusion, and if I turn off Ambient Occlusion, we'd just see the Diffuse. The Ambient Occlusion pass is set to Multiply, and this is what's creating some of the shadow in the eye sockets and the other parts. So, if I turn that off, you can see it's cutting off some of that bounce light, giving it more of a recessed look there.
So, that's the advantage of compositing with render passes. You have more control over how you can adjust the animation after the rendering is complete. So, of course, now I can take a look at the entire sequence. I'm just going to adjust that Saturation a little bit and do a RAM Preview. So, here's the finished animation on the turntable.
One thing I'd like to point out quickly: You may notice the way I set this up, if I take a look at one of these render passes, for instance, the toyDiffuse layer, it says Millions of Colors plus Straight, meaning that it has an Alpha Channel. So, I double-click on this and take a look at the Alpha Channel. This is saying that the Straight means that it does have Alpha Channel, but if I display the Alpha Channel, then I see all white.
So, there's nothing in the Alpha Channel, and the reason is it is because, when I set up my render pass, I'll just double -click on the toyDiffuse render pass, I had Number of Channels set to 3. So, if you want to include an Alpha Channel with that render pass, don't forget to set this to 4. In this case, it was fine, because I'd actually created that extra color masking render layer, and I could use the color mask to create all of the Alpha Channels that I need to, but make sure that your render pass has an Alpha Channel included. Don't forget to set this to 4; it's a very easy mistake to make.

I recently met Susan Wylie, their global head of press and PR, in Dublin where she did a bit of a show 'n' tell with their latest collections (Deirdre met her too; read about that here) and then I went into BT2 this week (oh, about six weeks later), to have a look at the selection and try on a few styles – and, in short? I'm in love.
And these guys have a serious celeb following – just check these guys out.
Look! It's Ashley Greene! (On which topic, do not go to see the new Twilight film. Just . . . don't.)
And it's Gwyneth! Again in MiH.
And Katie Brainwashed Holmes!
And, lest you think I'm non-selective, I will tell you that it is one very specific pair of MiH jeans with which I am in love: the Marrakesh jeans. A perfect combination of fit and flare (yes, I should write advertising copy) and so, so soft. I tried on a few pairs of MiH jeans in BT2 and these were the pair that suited me, although, that said, I will probably have to take them to a good tailor (any recommendations?) to have a few inches shaved off the bottom . . . They are so, so slick though. I can imagine wearing them with high-heeled brown boots from Buffalo (my faves!) with my brand new swallow print shirt (consolation for the time the tattoo guy refused to tattoo a swallow on my neck*, looooong story).
* While I'm in Portland, I'm thinking of getting a tattoo. The first tattoo in this link, to be specific (with a few amendments). What say ye? Should I put it on my credit card and take the leap, as a memory of a great, great city? Or should I wait until I'm more solvent and sensible?
MiH jeans gave me a gift of a pair of jeans of my choosing; I chose the Marrakesh jeans. I would never take a gift from a company whose products I didn't like, and when I can, I transfer any gifts I receive on to you guys. Jeans, however, are quite specific and difficult to transfer. But worry not, there are Christmassy Friday gifts every week between now and the big day so you're not missing out! Bisous!

John Fogerty
From 1968 through 1970, Fogerty's old group, Creedence Clearwater Revival, ruled the radio air-waves with such hits as Proud Mary, Bad Moon Rising and Lookin' Out My Back Door. Their homespun lyrics mixed with a unique musical style, one part Louisiana blues, one part country and eight parts rock 'n' roll. That made them an honest voice crying out in the wilderness of psychedelic mumbo jumbo emanating from other California bands such as the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. Since the breakup of Creedence in 1972, Fogerty, the singer-guitarist-songwriter, has not worked much due to contract squabbles and writer's block. Center-field, his first record since 1975, shows that while the times have changed, Fogerty hasn't. He is still capable of producing unaffected, chugging rock. From the first foggy-bottom guitar notes of The Old Man Down the Road, to the rockabilly Big Train, to the zesty title track, this record lives up to the anticipation that surrounded its release. Centerfield is truly a solo album, with Fogerty playing all the instruments and producing. His po' boy voice is still distinctive and powerful, his guitar expressive without being showy. The bass and sax playing are merely adequate, and the drum machine is too much in evidence. The Old Man Down the Road, on which Fogerty has his mojo working to best advantage, and Mr. Greed, which is nicely overlaid with shots of razor-backed guitar, both achieve a depth that belies the one-man band effect. Due to the style and the songwriting, Centerfield succeeds even on those cuts which are mostly veneer, giving cause to celebrate the return of one of rock's favorite sons. (Warner Bros.)

Although noninfiltrative ophthalmopathy can be seen with hyperthyroxinemia on any basis, infiltrative ophthalmopathy is peculiar to Graves' disease. With infiltrative ophthalmopathy involvement of extraocular motor muscles can cause shortening of the levator palpebrae superiorus and fixed upper eyelid retraction. Paresis of other muscles may cause diplopia or strabismus. Complications of proptosis include corneal damage from exposure and optic nerve injury from traction or compression; from venous engorgement: chemosis, subconjunctival hemorrhage, orbital pain, and glaucoma. Restoration of the euthyroid state improves noninfiltrative ophthalmopathy. For mild infiltrative disease, local and mechanical measures may provide symptomatic relief. Adrenal steroids are indicated for progressive infiltrative ophthalmopathy. The principal indications for surgical intervention are cosmetic, for correction of diplopia, or for decreased vision. For best results, surgery must be properly timed and planned.

Selection Sunday Countdown: 46 days to March 16
When trying to find an item matching 46 for this countdown piece, Harvard popped up on my radar a couple of time. First, they're 46th in today's RPI rankings. And then, when looking at overall seed lists, Harvard was the 46th overall team on the official 2012 seed list produced by the tournament selection committee.
So, Harvard. This year's Harvard squad has at-large caliber talent; most all of the key pieces (specifically, point guard Siyani Chambers and scorer Wesley Saunders) returned from the Crimson team that last year upended third-seeded New Mexico in the NCAA Tournament and finished 20-10. The talent has been upgraded this year—standouts Kyle Casey and Brandyn Curry are back on the team this year—but Tommy Amaker's team just doesn't have an at-large-worthy resume.
Missed opportunities (close losses at Colorado and at Connecticut), a mediocre strength of schedule and one untimely upset (by 15 at Florida Atlantic) crushed that backup plan.
Thankfully for the Crimson, that isn't hugely important. As you know, the Ivy League is the only conference in the country where the automatic bid is given to the team that wins the regular-season title (there is no Ivy tournament). Harvard's the heavy favorite to finish first in the league, and that position was solidified when Princeton, the primary contender, lost its league opener at Penn.
There's work left, of course. Harvard plays the Tigers twice—the first one is tomorrow night—and stranger things have happened. But chances are, Amaker's team will have a spot on Selection Sunday clinched long before the day arrives, and the only thing the players will have to wait to see on that day is their seed.

Comments: Future Bestseller from the Past
My mother was Louis B. Mayers' secretary in the late 40s. Her sister told me that she used to run his "stables".
Knowing what kind of "stables" he kept, I sometimes wonder about what it was, exactly, mom did.

I've always been a big fan of radio. As a child in Middletown, I remember doing homework to top 40 on WSAI-AM in Cincinnati before graduating to the album-oriented rock of WEBN-FM in Cincy and WTUE-FM in Dayton. In those pre-MTV/pre-Internet days, radio was the way folks discovered and fell in love with music. And I fell hard.
My passion for music hasn't waned, but radio and I have had an on-again/mostly-off-again relationship since WENZ-FM ("The End") in Cleveland became a hip hop station in 1999.
I like Steve Miller as much as the next middle-aged white man, but if I never hear "Jet Airliner" or "Take the Money and Run" again on the radio, my life won't be any less complete. Listening to rock radio used to be about discovery, and all I discover these days is that rock fans are mighty nostalgic. And DJs with local roots and a distinctive voice, like Fast Freddie on WNCD-FM or A.C. McCullough on WHOT-FM, are becoming a dying breed in an era of voice tracking, syndicated programming and playlists picked in a corporate office thousands of miles away.
Then I found The Summit. The listener-supported public radio station has been broadcasting in Akron on 91.3 FM since 1999, but the station also is simulcast on WKTL-FM (90.7) in Struthers, making it available to most of the Mahoning Valley for the last couple years. Here are a few of the reasons I support The Summit:
The music - If you once devoured new music, feel alienated by what you hear on top 40, don't want to listen to pop country and are a little embarrassed that most of the music you own is 20 to 40 years old, check out The Summit.
It's the only radio station I can listen to in my car that plays many of the acts that fill my iPod (The Decemberists, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Ingrid Michaelson, Mumford & Sons, Dawes), and it's the place where I discovered many of the bands that join them in my music collection (The Head and the Heart, the Lumineers, Alabama Shakes). And those songs are woven among older favorites, so classic rock fans don't have to go cold turkey. Some of the acts played Wednesday morning as I wrote this included Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Beatles, U2, the Clash, Tom Petty and Sting as well as newer acts like the Divine Fits, Gary Clark Jr. and the Avett Brothers.
Support of local / regional musicians - Programs like ''The Homegrown Show'' on WNCD-FM (93.3) are great for providing exposure to local musicians. But shows like that relegated to a Sunday night ghetto when general listenership is low tend to be heard primarily by friends of the bands and those already tuned into the local music scene.
The Summit plays music by regional artists in all day parts seven days a week (OK, six days a week for us in the Valley because WKTL drops The Summit on Saturdays for ethnic programming).
The impact of that radio exposure can be seen with Red Wanting Blue. The Summit loves RWB (and rightly so) and plays several of its songs in heavy rotation. RWB is based in Columbus and played a hometown show earlier this month at the Newport. Tickets still were available the day of the show. A week later they came to Cleveland to play at the similar-sized House of Blues. That show had been sold out for more than a week.
Live music - Last week my wife, younger daughter and I went to Akron for a Red Wanting Blue performance in The Summit's newly renovated Studio C. I've seen RWB five times already this year, but the radio performance was something unique and different, and it was an opportunity only available to Summit members.
Early this year The Summit brought UK band Scars on 45 to Youngstown for a members-only concert at Cedars Lounge, and it has done similar events, from free shows to exclusive soundcheck access, at other venues in northeast Ohio.
The Summit just wrapped its fall membership drive. But like any listener-supported radio station, they'll gladly take your money any time. Give 'em a listen.

/proc/cpuinfo represents what the kernel needs to know, so it reflects
the kernel's interpretation of CPUID. There is no reason to interpret
things in the kernel that the kernel doesn't need.

Yes. It's called x86info, I believe.

Solutions for Chapter 10
(a) Lead has received a great amount of attention because it is ubiquitous in our environment, found virtually everywhere on earth. Furthermore, nearly all of the lead found in our air, food, and water is from human activities, with very little from natural sources. These facts, combined with its toxicity, has caused lead to be a pollutant of great concern.
(b) Step 1: selection of 30 µg/dl PbB as a threshold. One problem is that learning impairment actually occurs even below this assumed threshold, so the choice of 30 µg/dl still allows health effects to occur. Another problem is that even if there were no health effects for PbB < µg/dl, allowing 0.5% of the children to have health effects implies that a very large number of children in the country would be affected.
Step 2: decrease mean PbB from 22.5 to 15 µg/dl. There is an implicit assumption that the upper tail of the distribution maintains its shape as the entire curve is moved downward, but there is no guarantee that this is the case. In other words, the distribution may no longer be normal as the curve slides downward. A second problem is that even if the distribution retains its normal shape, the standard deviation could change so that more than 0.5% of the population of children would have PbB > 30 µg/dl with a mean value of 15 µg/dl.
Step 3: establish 3 µg/dl in the blood as the desired maximum contribution from air. This value is computed as 15 µg/dl minus 12 µg/dl, which is the assumed value of PbB resulting from ingestion of water, food, and dust. There are large uncertainties in all of these numbers, and the value of 3 µg/dl is very sensitive to these uncertainties. For example, assume that there is a 25% error in the value of 12 µg/dl so that the correct value is 9 µg/dl. Taking 15 µg/dl minus 9 µg/dl yields 6 µg/dl, which is double the calculated value of 3 µg/dl. Thus a 25% error in PbB from water, food, and dust yields a 100% error in the calculated PbB from air. Furthermore, the amount of PbB derived from water, food, and dust is not independent of the amount in air. Deposition of airborne lead onto water supplies, farm crops, and soil dust confounds this calculation so that one cannot simply assume that airborne lead affects only inhalation.
Step 4: reduce airborne lead based on the assumption that PbB increases by 2 µg/dl for each increase of 1 µg/m3 of airborne lead. This assumption is questionable, since there are not many situations where the airborne lead concentration is high enough to test it. These situations occur only very close to major point sources like lead smelters. A second problem is that even if the assumption is valid at high airborne lead concentrations, where one can get reasonable data, there is no guarantee that the relation holds at low airborne lead concentrations typical of ambient air.

Very comfortable stylish carvan with lots of space very relaxing.

Excellent quality caravan, some bits were a bit rough but only the bits you would expect on a caravan that has to be used every day by demanding families, some people have unrealistic expectations of static caravans, this one was great by comparison to some others ive stayed in. The van was marked down slightly on score because a couple of the fittings had not been replaced after previous people had broken or smashed them.

In the 1940s there were supper clubs - elegant places where you could sit and enjoy a sumptuous meal, occasionally interrupted by your dinner mate's extending his right hand to you, by way of asking for a dance. The concept was obvious: Dancing can be seductive, sexy and downright fun. Combine this with a good meal and you had the makings of a perfect Saturday night date.
Nowadays, restaurants with both good food and a dance floor are hard to find. Sure, there are dance clubs where the focus is on drinking and gyrating to highly amplified music, or restaurants with live music playing as a pleasant backdrop, but there are few spots - other than wedding banquet halls - where you can actually eat and dance.

AKRON, Ohio, Feb. 21, 2013 – The Summa Health System Board of Directors has approved a Letter of Intent with Cincinnati-based Catholic Health Partners (CHP) to create a strategic partnership, pending final negotiations. The decision comes following Summa's announcement in July that it would seek a like-minded, larger non-profit partner to enhance its strategic initiatives and strengthen its financial position in exchange for a minority interest in the organization in which Summa retains majority ownership and local control.
"We have had the unique opportunity to get to know several leading national healthcare organizations throughout this process," said Norman Wells, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Summa Health System. "Our experience with each has been extremely positive, and we have learned a great deal about what makes them successful. When looking specifically at what is most important to us, I am confident that Catholic Health Partners is the right group to join us on our journey to transform the delivery of healthcare."
The decision to seek a potential partner is part of Summa's three-year strategic planning process, which includes multiple initiatives to prepare the organization for a new era of healthcare. In addition, as Summa continues implementation of its Performance Improvement initiative to become more efficient throughout the organization, there are clear synergies with CHP around the areas of care redesign, revenue cycle, supply chain and enhanced productivity that will help us realize more efficiencies and value for our community.
Several strategic population health initiatives also are underway separately around which Summa and CHP share a common vision:
Summa and CHP already have begun a productive relationship, successfully working together to expand the SummaCare Medicare Advantage product to new markets in 2012 for the 2013 coverage period. Summa, CHP and other partners in Ohio are working to advance healthcare in the state.
"When we began this process, we were very clear that we would only enter into an agreement with a non-profit organization that shared our mission, vision and values," said Tom Strauss, Summa Health System President and CEO. "While there still is a great deal of work to be done during the next several months to finalize a partnership, I believe that CHP shares our view that the way healthcare is delivered in our nation must change. At Summa, we are well positioned for future success, but together with CHP, I believe that we can truly be transformational."
Summa's search to find a potential partner was led by the Summa Board of Directors, who appointed a special committee comprised of members of the Board, system leadership and the medical staff to provide input into the process. The search included approximately ten large non-profit healthcare organizations headquartered both inside and outside of the State of Ohio.
Negotiations are scheduled for completion within mid-year. Additional updates will be provided as they become available.

Luke Bryan Entertains Over 75,000 Fans at Houston Rodeo
Nashville – March 18, 2013 - ACM Entertainer of the Year nominee and co-host Luke Bryan headlined the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ this past Saturday night before a crowd of 75,242 fans. This was Luke's second performance at the Rodeo, his first as a headliner, and the largest crowd of his career. At the close of this Saturday's show, the rodeo also reported this was the second-largest crowd in their history.
"I may have said it last year," Luke said from the rodeo stage, "but I grew up dreaming of playing the Houston Rodeo. To sell this place out on a Saturday night is a country boy's dream!"
In additional touring news, Luke's headline tour, the "Dirt Road Diaries Tour," will continue this week with shows in Florence, South Carolina, Fayetteville, North Carolina, Charlottesville, Virginia and Morgantown, West Virginia.

As cities across the nation scramble for a piece of the federal stimulus-bill pie, Santa Clarita is hoping for a roughly $18.7 million slice.
Among the money being requested for everything from transit to transportation-related projects is $2.7 million to remove tall grass from a 297-acre swath of the Santa Clara River, according to an city report.
On the agenda for the City Council's Tuesday meeting is an overview of the money city officials hope to secure from the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
City staff has submitted applications for $13.5 million in guaranteed allocations and $5.2 million in competitive grants, according to the report.
Among the guaranteed-allocation funding are applications for roughly $4 million in local infrastructure projects.
One of the grants for which the city is applying is for $2 million to install solar canopies at the city's Transit Maintenance Facility.
City staff will ask the council Tuesday to OK the submission of applications to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority requesting roughly $53.5 million in the 2009 Metro Call for Projects grant cycle.
Up to 88 cities and the county will be competing for matching funding, starting in the fiscal year 2011 through 2015, according to the agenda report.

Random thoughts on the Oscars
March 8, 2010 - Keith Frederick
Thoughts from last night's endless Academy Awards ceremony:
- I didn't see a lot of the nominated films, much to my chagrin, because I have an extra kid this year and time and money are harder to come by. But I have "The Hurt Locker" and "Julie & Julia" at home waiting to be watched and Netflix has most of the nominated movies waiting for me.
- The forced red carpet interview show was just painful. Kathy Ireland was as insincere and clueless as a person can ever look. Honestly, she acted like some sort of creepy, poorly programmed robot. Sherri what's-her-name from "The View" drooled all over George Clooney and fawned over everyone. The guy from "Entertainment Weekly" was fine, but who cares about the EIC of "Entertainment Weekly." Let's not ever do this again, k?
- The opening number starring Neil Patrick Harris was great - but I'm biased as I have a certified man-crush on NPH. Favorite line: "What would Botox be without all you people?"
- Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were very funny, with just a few missteps. They're a good team because they're both able to do crazy humor or dry humor. I'd honestly like to see them back again, though I don't know if they'd be as successful the second time around.
- Ok, have enough black people won awards now that we can get rid of the token camera cutaways to black stars? Honestly, it's the most blatant kind of racism. Geoffrey Fletcher just won the best adapted screenplay? Quick, find a negro in the audience! Morgan Freeman! Whew.
Sounds ridiculous, right? That's exactly what they do each time.
- My favorite part of the Oscars is the acceptance speeches. It's the only truly sincere moment of the whole night. The best last night were Sandra Bullock, Christoph Waltz, Fletcher, Mark Boal, Pete Docter for "Up," Fisher Stevens (because, holy crap, Fisher Stevens at the Oscars!) and Boal again for the best picture acceptance.
- The John Hughes tribute was excellent, and I was geeking out to see so many Brat Packers at the Academy Awards. On a side note, what happened to Judd Nelson?!
- Ben Stiller has jumped the shark. Can a person do that? Yeah, he's there.
- It was great to see how well Meryl Streep took all the ribbing she got over the course of the night. She is possibly the best actress of all time, but she is endlessly classy and unpretentious. I don't like all of Streep's films, or all her roles, but I love the lady.
- The big story coming out of the Oscars will probably be the fact that "The Hurt Locker" dominated and "Avatar" took home only technical awards. I'll be honest, I have seen neither one. But I'm still of the opinion that the best film should win the awards, not the flashiest.
James Cameron has always struck me as a profoundly egotistical man, and I can't get behind that. It's one of the reasons I haven't seen "Avatar." The other reasons? I can't go see a movie just because it's new technology, and I've already seen the film's plot on screen.
When it was called "Dances with Wolves."

Airbus and Boeing might be in line for new orders from aircraft leasing company FLY Leasing (NYSE: FLY ) , which announced Monday that it has increased the size of its aircraft acquisition facility -- financing for aircraft purchases -- from $250 million to $450 million.
FLY noted that in addition to adding two new lenders, Everbank and Scotiabank, to the group financing its plane purchases, the company has also "upsized, extended and repriced our aircraft acquisition facility," increasing the funds available to buy planes by 40%, lowering its interest rate on these funds by 50 basis points to 3.25%, and extending the time the funds will be made available to it out to July 2018.
Explaining how the funds will be used, CEO Colm Barrington noted in the company press release that "FLY will continue to focus on growing our fleet through acquisitions of the most modern and popular aircraft that are in high demand with airlines around the world." Currently, FLY boasts a fleet split roughly 50-50 between the two major plane builders -- 54 Boeings and 49 Airbus aircraft.

i think u meen decemba not novemba........or unless ur the ghost of christmas past
I understand Far Cry comes out in North America on the 6th of Novemeber, two days time but there's still no reviews for it. I'm expecting the worst after some of the previews I've read. So looks like I'll have to settle for Call of Duty instead but would of liked more help deciding.
Reviews should be atleast made available atleast 7 days prior to it's release so you can find out it's good get a preorder in and sit back and wait for it to be delivered to your door on it's first day.
Whether it's lazy writers or stupid publishers holding back and then hoping to generate sales on people taking a chance on trailers and boxart on a poor product - something needs to change.
i think u meen decemba not novemba........or unless ur the ghost of christmas past
The future's here said the pioneer. There's room at the top, do-wop do-wop. Whatever comes tomorrow happened yesterday.
You're right.

They can only review games they have. It's not the reviewers who decide when they get the games, and i doubt that we will see any decent reviews before it's relase. Why? Because Ubi knows that it's another crappy port, and there is no point in shipping it too gaming sites just so that they can slaughter it sooner.
Really the 6th huh? My ads from the paper must be wrong with them saying the 8th for far cry
wtf ..ign had hands on and thy said it was really good...BETTER than red steel. noobOriginally Posted by wayne
WoW slightly better than the flop of the yearOriginally Posted by ....wiiiiiii.....
Yeah I heard it was really good too.
I wonder which is better, Farcry or COD3?
I am probably still gonna get Red Steel though because I heard once you get into it its a great game.
Add me please, I need friends on my Wii. Just PM me if you add me so I can add you back. Thanks.

Not too long ago, my son wanted to buy a book. He only had about half the money he needed, since he had recently made a larger purchase. For the first time ever, he asked me if he could borrow the money, and then pay me back. I was hesitant, because I don't like the idea of teaching him that he can just get money for things he wants now by borrowing.
However, after some thought, I decided that this could be a good learning experience. I explained that, like Monopoly, if he's going to borrow money, he's going to have to pay extra in interest. So, even though he was borrowing $7, he would need to repay me $8. I told him it would come out of his allowance (after he paid his charity donation and savings), and he had to repay the debt before he could buy anything else.
He agreed, and has been kind of bummed ever since. Instead of watching money grow in his spending jar each week, he has to give all his money over to other obligations. Even worse, in his eyes, is the fact that it's taking longer to repay me because he owes an extra dollar in interest [3]. An extra dollar! That dollar is going right to my pocket for me to buy candy, instead of him being able to get that big candy bar he wanted the other day.
Right now, he is making grand declarations of never borrowing again. The whole exercise has made a big impression. Hopefully, we won't have repeats of this borrowing situation later on because of this experience. However, if he does ask to borrow money later, there is a good chance that interest will be charged.
Writing a Loan Contract for Your Child
Many parents charge their children interest for loans, whether it's a loan so they can buy concert tickets, or whether it's so that they can purchase a first car. My son and I didn't have a loan contract, but for older children, including adult children who might regularly ask you for money, a personal loan contract can be a good idea.
Writing a loan contract can establish the terms of the loan ahead of time, so that all parties understand what is expected. You can find free templates online [4] that can help you see how to set up such a contract. However, some of the common elements found in personal loan agreements might include:
- Names and addresses of included parties
- Date of the contract
- Amount of the loan principal
- Interest terms (simple, compound, etc.), including interest rate
- Total amount to be repaid
- Total time to repay the loan
- Repayment schedule
- Repayment method (cash, services, etc.)
- Any items used for collateral
In some cases, parents choose to simplify matters by simply stating a total repayment amount, and the repayment schedule. As long as everyone agrees to the terms, it shouldn't be a problem. Your child should sign and date the contract, and you should as well. If you really want to make an impression, you can have the contract notarized. It doesn't cost very much, and your financial institution might offer the services of a notary for free to account holders.
In any case, charging interest can be a way to help your child learn a valuable lesson, while at the same time keeping him or her from turning to payday lenders [5] and other unsavory types.
What do you think? Would you charge your child interest on a loan?

NASA suspects bad valve for space station trouble
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- The astronauts aboard the International Space Station dimmed the lights, turned off unnecessary equipment and put off science work Thursday as NASA scrambled to figure out what's wrong with a key cooling unit.
One of two cooling loops shut down Wednesday when the line got too cold because of a faulty valve. The system uses ammonia to dissipate heat from onboard equipment.
Mission Control ordered the six-man crew to turn off some science experiments and other noncritical equipment; the powerdown continued Thursday.
NASA officials stressed that the astronauts remained safe and comfortable.
The suspect valve is inside an external pump that was replaced by spacewalking astronauts three years ago. Flight controllers are looking at ways to fix the valve. A software repair would be the easiest option, a spacewalk the most complicated. In fact, three spacewalks were needed back in 2010 for the pump replacement.
The valve can't be reached so the entire pump would have to be replaced with one of the spares at the space station.
Kenny Todd, a space station manager, said the orbiting outpost is left "somewhat vulnerable" with only one good cooling line. There's always the possibility of additional failures, he noted, which is why Mission Control wants the problem fixed soon.
Todd said it's possible that next week's launch of a commercial cargo ship, from Wallops Island, Va., may need to be delayed. Liftoff of Orbital Sciences Corp.'s unmanned Antares rocket, with a Cygnus capsule full of supplies and experiments, currently is scheduled for Wednesday.
Space station managers will reconvene Monday to decide whether to delay the delivery mission.
Two Americans currently are among the crew aboard the orbiting lab.

Scuba Dive Cozumel; personal experience
Hi, I am pleased to welcome you to my personal blog scuba dive cozumel.
I´m Alvaro Gonzalez, a scuba diving instructor with 32 years experience in this exciting activity and as many wonderful years living in the mexican city of Cancun. Today I am inaugurating this space because I want to share my experiences and knowledge with all who love the sea, diving and underwater activities in general.
I must confess that diving has been part of my life since I was very young. In fact, my fondest memories revolve around this activity. Thus, what at first was fun and exciting, with time became my passion and integral part of my life project.
My concept of diving beyond the practice of a sport. It is difficult to express in a few words the feeling of freedom I feel when I'm diving.
The simple act of breathing underwater, reveals the greatness of what humans can achieve.
Scuba dive cozumel story…
Undoubtedly, enter and remain in the marine world is my reason for being. Scuba diving in Cancun, Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen, Akumal, Cozumel, Tulum and Isla Mujeres, has allowed me to explore the marine wonders of such places, whether in the form of open sea at night diving, deep vessels sunken relief, among many others.
I also had the opportunity to dive in cenotes, a dive in which there are no waves or currents and where visibility of 1 500 feet makes practice an easy, safe and fun.
Since diving gives us the opportunity to explore an extraordinarily different world inside our own planet, I invite you to follow me and leave your questions or comments. For me it is a pleasure to help you uncover the charms and mysteries of the sea, either do scuba dive cozumel, Cancun or any other site to behold.

The Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges ride at Universal Orlando Islands of Adventure broke down Friday afternoon and guests had to be assisted off the ride.
According to a Universal spokesman, a "routine technical glitch" forced ride operators to stop the ride.
One of the vehicles was in a position that led the park to ask the Orlando Fire Department to assist 10 people off the ride.
Universal expected the ride to resume by 4:30 p.m.

Middleweight Lukas Konecny acknowledges that WBO titleholder Peter Quillin is fast, "a good boxer" and "a good fighter," and "can put on good moves." But Konecny's scouting report also found that Quillin's "defense is not the best."
"I mean that I can beat him," said Konecny, a 35-year-old contender from the Czech Republic. "I think that I have good defense and I make pressure. I can make pressure for all 12 rounds. In my career, I didn't get stopped before the time limit, so I am hard to beat."
Konecny (50-4, 23 knockouts) will make his American debut against Quillin (30-0, 22 KOs) on April 19 in Wasington, D.C., as the Showtime co-feature to a 175-pound unification bout between IBF titleholder Bernard Hopkins and WBA counterpart Beibut Shumenov
"Before every fight, I've had big trouble with my weight, but this time, everything's okay. My weight was already okay for a few days. So I hope that everything will be okay. Sparring is going very well. I hope that I can bring a great, great fight to Washington, D.C.," said Konecny, who will be after his third straight win since falling by unanimous decision to Zaurbek Baysangurov in 2012.
"I know that he's taller than me and he has a good punch and he's got good skills. He's more experienced, but not with the same style as I am. I have over 250 amateur fights, and over 50 professional fights. So I didn't meet the same style as Peter has, but he has the same problem as I do, because he didn't fight with the same style as I am, and I think that I can surprise him."
Quillin has made it a point that he is after what would be his 13th knockdown in five fights, if not a stoppage win.
"Nothing is possible without looking good in this fight, and winning spectacularly to make sure that people consider me among the best in the world," said Quillin.
"I can look at any fighter and say that they're dangerous. I don't really know too much about Lukas. I just know that I've seen some videos of him and he seems very determined. He applies a lot of pressure. I have to just focus on what he's going to bring. I'm looking for a spectacular victory.
"He says that he has 250 amateur fights and over 50 professional fights. I only had 15 amateur fights and I have had 30 professional fights, but I think that's special within itself to say that I'm now competing at a world class level against guys with tons of amateur experience and tons of pro experience."
In succession, Quillin floored Winky Wright once during a unanimous decision in June 2012, dropped Hassan N'Dam six times during a unanimous decision for the belt in October of that year, scored four knockdowns in a seventh-round knockout of Fernando Guerrero last April, and one more in during a 10th-round stoppage of Gabriel Rosado in October.
"Being one of the first guys to ever put Winky Wright on the canvas, I think that I have a lot to show for my hard work and my dedication," said Quillin. "What's special is that a lot of guys think that they see flaws in me, but once they step into the ring with me, it's totally different than what they expect. That goes for Hassan N'Dam, and Gabriel Rosado and Fernando Guerrero. All of these guys had more experience and went into the fight saying that they could beat me. But they didn't."
