JE046: Type Casting
Redirected from JE046
this wiki
type Casting (ウソッキーはどこにいる!? Where is Sudowoodo!?) is the 5th episode of Pokémon: Johto League Champions.
On their way to Ecruteak City, Ash and co. are dismayed that the bridge will be out for six months. They encounter a fisherman who says he'll take them across the river if they can catch a Sudowoodo. While trying to find one, the heroes encounter two arguing scientists named Pierre and Marie. They are fighting over what type Sudowoodo is. Who is more right, and why does Sudowoodo have a fear of water?
Episode Plot
As the heroes wander, they come to a river. They go downstream and encounter some workers. They ask where they can go across a bridge, while the man tells them that a typhoon destroyed all the bridges, but his team will build the bridge in six months, shocking the heroes for that statement. Team Rocket travel in the balloon and are about to cross the river. James uses the balloon fire to cook potatoes and they light the fire even more. However, it burns away the balloon before they cross the river and fall down. The heroes encounter a fisherman and ask him to carry them across the river in his boat. The fisherman asks them a favor: to catch a Sudowoodo and if they do, they will get transported. The heroes go to get it, while Team Rocket plan to give it to the boss.
The heroes begin their search in the dense forest, while Psyduck comes out and is told it can help search Sudowoodo. It travels a bit and spots a Sudowoodo, imitating a tree. Psyduck tries to keep pace, but Sudowoodo confuses it. Psyduck comes back to Misty and points at Sudowoodo. Misty tells they are not looking for trees, but seeing Sudowoodo move, she detects it. Sudowoodo moves away, running off from the heroes. The heroes encounter two scientists, who argues about who is smarter. The heroes come and introduce themselves, while the scientists are Pierre and Marie, all who try to find Sudowoodo. Pierre tells they were discussing that Sudowoodo is a Rock-type Pokémon. Misty and Ash find it hard to believe, since Sudowoodo looks more like a Grass-type Pokémon. Marie confirms it is a Rock-type Pokémon, but tells Pierre thinks the experts who claim this fact are wrong, since Sudowoodo was seen using a Fire-type move. Brock tries to do research on position of love, but Misty pulls him as he is left out.
Ash sends Noctowl to search for Sudowoodo. Marie tells that Sudowoodo were seen with many branches, making Ash to think they are Grass-type Pokémon, but drops the fact when he hears from Pierre they gather branches to look like it. Noctowl found Sudowoodo, so Ash calls it back and sends Chikorita. Suddenly, they see Sudowoodo using Vine Whip, but they see that it must've picked a vine from the forest. Sudowoodo uses Razor Leaf, but also see it collected dried leaves. Chikorita uses Vine Whip, hitting Sudowoodo, but Sudowoodo uses the same move to hit her, so everyone has a thought Sudowoodo is a Grass Pokémon. Ash calls Chikorita back and sends Totodile. Totodile uses Tackle, but misses. Totodile uses Water Gun, but Sudowoodo dodges. Totodile goes to use Bite, but chases Sudowoodo down, causing it to fall in a hole. The heroes think that Sudowoodo is a Ground-type since it used Dig, but see Team Rocket captured it. Using Smokescreen, Weezing covers the field with smoke, causing Team Rocket to disappear. Marie sees that they won't know what Sudowoodo's type is, so Brock tells he will leave his friends and dedicate his life to find out, only to be bashed by Misty for that statement.
Meowth asks what type Sudowoodo is. James thinks it is a Grass type by its looks, though Wobbuffet comes out and talks with Sudowoodo. Meowth asks Sudowoodo what type it is, but gets the answer it is the type that wants to eat. Jessie gets angry, but Sudowoodo is still hungry, so they decide to get it to the old man and get going. They come to the old man, who has doubts that is Sudowoodo, since it does not say anything. He notices it does not look healthy, so James uses a Squirtbottle to water it. However, Sudowoodo gets scared and runs away, so Team Rocket and the old man chase it. The heroes search for Sudowoodo and see it on a rock. Sudowoodo runs away, so Brock tackles it and licks to calm it down. He gives it food, so Sudowoodo wants more of it. With that, they go to the lab and go to analyze Sudowoodo. However, they see Sudowoodo cannot use Vine Whip. Ash's Pikachu uses ThunderShock to get it to use Vine Whip, but are all surprised Sudowoodo used ThunderShock as well. Pierre discovered that Sudowoodo can use Mimic, to they all understand Sudowoodo is copying attacks after they are used.
Ash knows it does not prove that it is a Rock-type, but Marie sees a way they can prove it. Pierre goes to prove it is a Rock-type by splashing water. Sudowoodo, scared of water, runs away. Ash chases it and encounters Team Rocket and the old man. Marie asks the old man why is he here, as he is her grandpa, who was asking to find Sudowoodo to have Marie test it, since she wanted that. Team Rocket still want Sudowoodo for their purposes, as Jessie sends Arbok, while Ash his Cyndaquil. Arbok goes to tackle Cyndaquil, but gets slammed by Sudowoodo's Slam. Sudowoodo distracts Arbok, then uses Faint Attack to stomp on Arbok, followed by a Low Kick. Jessie calls Arbok back and sees it uses sneaky attacks, which fits into Team Rocket's ranks. Wobbuffet comes out, so Jessie sends it to battle. Ash's Cyndaquil goes to use Flamethrower on him, but Sudowoodo intercepts and, via Mimic, uses Flamethrower. Jessie recognizes its value, so tells Wobbuffet to prepare himself. Cyndaquil uses Tackle, but gets blocked by Wobbuffet's Counter. Misty sends Poliwhirl and tells Ash to attack Wobbuffet for a second. Cyndaquil uses Flamethrower, so Wobbuffet prepares to use Counter. However, Poliwhirl uses Water Gun, pushing him and Team Rocket away which results to them getting blasted off.
The water sprays, so Sudowoodo runs away. Marie tells them to stop chasing Sudowoodo, since now she has the clear facts and knows Sudowoodo is a Rock-type, since it runs away from water. Pierre admits that they wouldn't have been convinced if they did not see that for themselves. Pierre and Marie promise each other to focus on the facts and not to prove a point. For helping out, the old man carries the heroes in his boat across the river. Team Rocket climb a cliff and James grabs a branch. The Sudowoodo has this branch, which it releases, causing Team Rocket to fall down.
- The scientists are named after Pierre and Marie Curie.
- The "Who's that Pokémon?" is Gengar.

Here's how RW members rated this race (254 votes).
In short: Next year I want to do all of it at the pace I did the 1st 6k (then I crashed)In full: A lovely event. Just needs a marshal near the yha hostel to cope with crashers, as its a long walk down to the road from there dripping blood.Date of review: February 8, 2011
In short: A great race, tough in the middle, but some long downhills as well!In full: One thing I found is that the first couple of K is quite slow as you have to run in single file and cannot overtake. I normally prefer to start towards the back and work my way past people, but I got stuck behind runners a bit slower than me. So I'll start nearer the front next year.Date of review: February 7, 2011
In short: Very enjoyable off road raceIn full: A very enjoyable low-key off road race. All aspects of the organisation worked well, there was abundant (on road) parking, plenty of toilets and the school was a convenient (and charming) venue for the start and finish. The course was as scenic as you are going to get, it was quite congested at the start but the filed had spread out after a mile or so and I don't think that it made any difference to the timings. Certainly a course for those comfortable with ascents and descents but very well marshalled and waymarked so it would have been hard to get lost. I agree that the distance was closer to 6.5 miles per my Garmin but I don't think that this matters as PBs for courses like this can only ever be race-specific. Very beginner-friendly and would be a good introduction to trail running.Date of review: February 7, 2011
In short: Harder than I thought it would be but very enjoyable.In full: A really nice race to take part in but not without its tricky bits, one of the hills just keeps on going. Some areas of congestion near the beginning but is spread out nicely after that. Friendly and very well organised. GPS recorded 6.5miles at the finish? Date of review: February 7, 2011
In short: Fantastic, fun morning out in the Surrey hills - loved it!In full: There were definitely a couple of brutal hills but balanced by some great fun 'wheeeeeeeeee!' downhill sections, and the scenery was (almost) enough to distract from the pain. Much of the first half is very narrow, so if you're after a decent time don't get stuck at the back like I did (not that it mattered to me!) It was well-organised, with a nice, friendly atmosphere, and the marshalls were excellent - enthusiastic, encouraging, friendly, helpful.It is quite expensive for a 10k, but it's for a great cause, and I think it was well worth the entry fee.All in all, a brilliant race, I will be back next year.Date of review: February 7, 2011
In short: Tough on the legs but a fantastic way to spend a morningIn full: For the first half of the race there's no let up. Right from the start you are going uphill. Narrow in places which means serious runners need to get to the front early. Dry and cool, which made for perfect conditions. If it was raining you'd really need some serious trail shoes. Overall, thank goodness for the second half of the race (largely downhill). Well organised from the local primary school. Managed to avoid oncoming car on my sprint down to the finishing line. A finishers medal would have been nice but the technical t-shirt with runners names on the back is a nice souvenir. Date of review: February 7, 2011
In short: Glorious scenery - biggish hills (for SE England) - what more could you ask for?In full: First time on what is clearly a very special race. Lovely run up onto the North Downs and back again. Almost all on trails, some of which are very narrow (making overtaking, particularly on some of the steeper sections, a bit difficult). 3 biggish hills, with a couple of steep sections.Enthusiastic support, good atmosphere and excellent marshalling: particular thanks to the marshall who need nearly mown down trying to slow down a very bad-tempered driver on a back country lane.Slightly expensive for a 10k (but it is in a good cause), and the technical t-shirt is good. Some slight room for improvement on the admin side: I wasn't the only runner who wound up in the fun run, rather than 10k, finish lane due to confusing signs and a route map/course profile at the registration would have been useful for first-timers. Parking is obviously a problem, and an arrangement that doesn't require driving out amongst the finishing runners would be good.But, overall, a beautiful jaunt over the North Downs.Date of review: February 6, 2011
In short: Everything you could want from an off-road 10K - fantastic!In full: Superb organisation, great atmosphere, wonderful marshals, challenging & scenic route, tea & cakes to finish.... What's not to like??Date of review: February 6, 2011
In short: The 1st 5k is tough..easier 2nd half!In full: Very well organised, does what it says on the tin! Did it in 2008, 5 minutes quicker this year. Slight problem that my watch told me I had run over 6.6 miles, maybe it was my watch?Date of review: February 6, 2011
In short: Ups and downs ..... this is hilly!Date of review: February 6, 2011

A young Canandaigua resident has recently donated his birthday gifts to patients at Thompson Health.
Ryan Hubler, age 12, began donating his birthday gifts to Thompson in 2008. Two years ago, he created a "Birthday Wish Club" that included supportive friends and family members. Each year, Ryan requests a Wish List from the F.F. Thompson Foundation, then distributes the list to his family and friends. All the gifts he receives are given to young patients to provide comfort during their hospital stay.
This year, Ryan and his 8-year-old sister, Maren, donated a 22-inch television and a DVD player to Thompson's Birthing Center. Other gifts included clothing for newborns, crayons and markers, coloring books, crafts and model kits, children's movies, sticker books, puzzles and card games.
"The items Ryan, Maren and the Birthday Wish Club have donated will help ease the anxiety of the children who come to Thompson for our care," says Anita Pietropaolo, associate director of the F.F. Thompson Foundation. "Their kindness touches the hearts of so many children and we at Thompson Health are so grateful for their generosity."
Individuals interested in making a donation to Thompson Health are encouraged to contact the F.F. Thompson Foundation at email@example.com for a current Wish List.

2011 New York Makeup Show Shopping List
I have this post set to post automatically, and as we speak, I'll be at the New York Makeup Show. I thought it might be interesting to show you my Shopping List for the Makeup Show. Mind you, I'm overly OCD about things like this lol. I include just the listed price from the vendor's websites since I wasn't sure what the actual sale price will be.
Click here for more!
I plan on checking out all of the booths but I'm not sure that I'll buy everything on the list. Actually I'm pretty sure I won't. I set myself a makeup budget as well. I'm definitely hoping that the Sale prices are around 40% off the budgeted price but we'll see. I'll be walking around with this actual list at the show. I'll make sure and do a haul video of what I actually pick up.
FTC Disclosure: Post not sponsored
See you at the show!

Everything that I needed to be stored fit perfectly into my unit. Great service!
When I went to move in after driving down from 12 hours away on the date of move-in on my confirmation e-mail the office was closed and I was unable to move in
The lady at the front desk was helpful and had a good sense of humor. The storage complex itself seemed clean. Barring any bad events in the future, I would recommend this place.
Friendly staff, clean storage, easy access. Super convenient.
This is one of the best storage places to go to very clean and friendly staff
Cindy was wonderful. The Unit is fine. The only thing I would change would be lighting.

So this is about a SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tblname without a WHERE clause. MyISAM has an optimisation for that since it maintains a rowcount for each table. InnoDB and PBXT can't do that (at least not easily) because of their multi-versioned nature… different transactions may see a different number of rows for the table table!
So, it's kinda known but nevertheless often ignored that this operation on InnoDB is costly in terms of time; what InnoDB has to do to figure out the exact number of rows is scan the primary key and just tally. Of course it's faster if it doesn't have to read a lot of the blocks from disk (i.e. smaller dataset or a large enough buffer pool).
I was curious about PBXT's performance on this, and behold it appears to be quite a bit faster! For a table with 50 million rows, PBXT took about 20 minutes whereas the same table in InnoDB took 30 minutes. Interesting!
From those numbers [addendum: yes I do realise there's something else wrong on that server to take that long, but it'd be slow regardless] you can tell that doing the query at all is not an efficient thing to do, and definitely not something a frontend web page should be doing. Usually you just need a ballpark figure so running the query in a cron job and putting the value into memcached (or just an include file) will work well in such cases.
If you do use a WHERE clause, all engines (including MyISAM) are in the same boat… they might be able to use an index to filter on the conditions – but the bigger the table, the more work it is for the engine. PBXT being faster than InnoDB for this task makes it potentially interesting for reporting purposes as well, where otherwise you might consider using MyISAM – we generally recommend using a separate reporting slave with particular settings anyway (fewer connections but larger session-specific buffers), but it's good to have extra choices for the task.
(In case you didn't know, it's ok for a slave to use a different engine from a master – so you can really make use of that ability for specialised tasks such as reporting.)

History of the Adirondack guides
Historic Saranac Lake began its annual seminar series on Thursday, May 9, about hunting camps and hunting in general. The seasoned panel included Billy Allen, who provided great slides about hunting camps and pictures of him and his father, William P. Allen, an Adirondack legend among outdoorsmen. Billy's father only inhabited four places on this earth: home, job (a camp caretaker, of course), the Blue Line Sport Shop and "up the river" at his camp.
Joe Hackett – newspaper columnist, storyteller and Adirondack guide who owns Tahawus Guide Service – was a panelist with Jack Fogarty, Saranac Lake High School teacher for 30 years and a member of the East Branch Rod and Gun Club for 40 years … a great night with what is now a little-known subject.
Bob Brown was the moderator now he has more titles than the emperor of Ethiopia, just limited to hunting and fishing organizations across New York state. His advice and counsel is sought after when it comes to gaming laws. He is also well known for perfecting the wild turkey call; however, when he is practicing in the field across from my house, the turkeys seem to run the other way.
Historic Saranac Lake does a fine job with this type of presentation, and the room was packed, with many in the audience probably having their first visit to the famous John Black Room of the Saranac Laboratory Museum on Church Street.
It was sort of a fashion night for the woodsy outdoorsmen. We spotted Joe Spadaro, the guideboat builder, turned out in his best Adirondack woodsman shirt and sporting a pair of black nylon warm-up pants.
Now that is a long lead-in to get to my story about the Adirondack guides; the following excerpts are from Enterprise clippings found in the archives of the Adirondack Room of the Saranac Lake Free Library, one of Saranac Lake's treasures. The Enterprise story by Albert I. Evans was datelined Aug. 2, 1948.
Guides organized in 1891
"From the so far away days following the Civil War when the first scattering of down state sportsmen came into these mountains to hunt moose and other big game of that period, Saranac lake was noted as the headquarters for guides. A great number of the hunting parties started form the Saranac Lake region.
"By 1890 the first little group of guides who resided here had increased to such an extent there were then half a hundred or more working out of the Saranac Lake region. At that time many waters on which are now situated famous and fashionable Adirondacks resorts were then merely wilderness lakes and ponds. Many of the so-called trails of that period are said to have been so faint it required the services of a real woodsman to keep hunters and tourists on them.
"Saranac Lake and Paul Smiths were the quarters of by far the greatest number of real guides in the Adirondacks. Many of them had already earned enduring fame, some for their beloved stories by the camp fires and others who were marvelous cooks. From the most simple food stuffs, most of it supplied from the woods and waters about them, they could prepare dishes fit for a king."
A rift develops
"But in 1890 there was 'a rift in the lute' for the guides in this region started to hear complaints from a few of their patrons. These were to the effect that a few men who called themselves good guides were anything but what they claimed. They were ill-equipped and overcharged for their services.
"A meeting was held on July 27, 1891 which was attended by most of the local guides to form an Association and it was successful from the very first. At the end of five years it had a membership which is said to have included almost all the real guides in the Adirondacks.
"So it was that on February 4th, 1897 it was officially incorporated and on that day of incorporation the officers of the Association were as follows Verplanck Colvin, honorary president, Albany; Warren J. Slater, president, Saranac Lake; vice presidents, Thomas Healy, Saranac Lake, Warren Cole, Long Lake, John W. Ford, Old Forge, Douglas E. Hinkson, Childwold, E. L. Scraftin, Paul Smiths, James D. McBride, Tupper Lake, A. H. Billings, Lake Placid, C. W. Blanchard, Blue Mountain Lake, C. C. McCaffery, Saranac Inn, E. E. Summer, secretary, Saranac Lake, O. A. Covill, treasurer, Saranac Lake.
"After a score or more of years its incorporation flourished and the phony guide racket was wiped out."
(The Enterprise story about the guides is long and detailed. We have just scratched the surface here, so a complete copy will be available at the Historic Saranac Lake museum.)

Thanks so much for begining the new year with this
Thanks so much for begining the new year with this wonderful program highlighting Robert Coles. I first knew of him when I read about his surprising friendship with the then small girl, Ruby Bridges, who helped to integrate the schools in New Orleans. more. Now I have two grandchildren and I want to spend more time with this remarkable man and the sincere and open children he and his wife came to know through their interviews. Hearing his voice again began to connect me once more with the voices of these children who speak to all of us in their honesty ,wonder and thoughts of God. Time in the new year can be well spent through listening to this program and its conversations with people like Robert Coles. Thanks for making it one of the best programs on NPR.

New Forestville board organizes
FORESTVILLE – Linda Aures, the recently elected mayor of Forestville, is beginning her term with a new slate of trustees.
Officials of the village of Forestville were sworn in Monday evening at a special meeting called for the purpose of organization. Janine Salzman, Hanover Town Clerk, conducted the ceremonial swearing in.
Linda Aures took the oath as mayor. After asking if someone in her family wanted to hold the book, Aures' granddaughter Allison Karcz volunteered to come up and do the honors. Trustees Margaret Borrello and Kevin Johnson were sworn in next.
Once the meeting began, Aures announced that she was appointing David Bishoff Sr. to fill one of the two openings on the board. Salzman then swore him in. Salzman is a former trustee who served from 2000 to 2004.
The new board tabled the reading of minutes from the March 26 meeting and old business from previous meetings until the next regular meeting of the board, scheduled for April 9.
The board passed two resolutions.
One specified the official designations for the coming year: Evans National Bank as financial institution of record; the OBSERVER as newspaper of record; and the village office and the post office for posting of legal notices. The meeting schedule has been changed to the second and fourth Tuesdays at 7 p.m. with no workshops.
After the meeting Aures said, "I hope we can do business without the need to call special meetings."
She hoped that the twice monthly meetings would help the people stay informed. She also wanted to set a specific schedule instead of having a meeting on the last Tuesday which might be either the fourth or fifth Tuesday of the month.
"I hope this works out but if it doesn't we can change it," she said.
The second resolution scheduled a public hearing on the proposed budget for Monday April 15 at 7 p.m. at the municipal building.
Aures announced that one opening remains on the board of trustees for a one-year unexpired term. She encouraged residents interested in serving to submit a letter of interest. She also announced that the village is looking for a part-time clerk/treasurer and a part-time assistant village clerk. She has listed the jobs in the OBSERVER, Monster.com, Chautauqua Works, and Jamestown Community College and encouraged anyone interested to look there for details.
After the meeting, Johnson said he is looking forward to serving on the board. "I am used to serving he said. I was in the military service and then I worked as a nurse. For me, this is a natural progression."
Bishoff said he accepted an appointment to the board to work for the people of Forestville.

Supermodel Liya Kebede Never Forgets The People She Left Behind

Supermodels have come a long way since Linda Evangelista famously said she wouldn't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day. From the old guard, some went on to host TV shows (Tyra, Heidi), others married movie stars (Christy, Cindy), others became embroiled in cocaine scandals (Kate), while others continue to make headlines for all the wrong reasons (Naomi). But hey, at least they were colorful. In comparison, the new breed, lead by Gisele Bünchen seem, well, boring.
That is, with one notable exception. Liya Kebede shows us that real beauty comes from the heart.

Movie Mondays - She Fell Among Thieves
Category: Movies
Location: Plaut Room
Join us for a screening of She Fell Among Thieves on Monday, August 19 at 4:00 p.m. in the Plaut Room. Seating is limited to 25 and available on a first come, first served basis.
The BBC drama that launched Mystery! on PBS
While on a Pyrenees vacation in 1922, upright English gentleman Richard Chandos (Malcolm McDowell, A Clockwork Orange, Heroes) encounters the villainous Vanity Fair (Eileen Atkins, Cold Mountain). Mistress of the turreted Chateau Jezreel and leader of a motley band of criminals, she will inherit millions if she can force her stepdaughter to marry. Pitting his wits against this formidable adversary, Chandos determines to rescue the beautiful young woman. But Vanity Fair keeps one step ahead of him, a trick forever up her sleeve and murder in her heart.
Based on the novel by Dornford Yates and adapted by Tom Sharpe (Wilt, Porterhouse Blue), the story unfolds in a series of twists and turns as sharp as the hairpin bends around which the protagonists hurl their luxury cars. Emmy®-winner Atkins and Golden Globe®-nominee McDowell play perfect foils in this highly entertaining thriller.

Wisconsin to face UMass Lowell to open NCAA Northeast Regional
Badgers return to NCAA tournament for first time since 2010
Madison, WI - The Wisconsin men's hockey team will open the 2013 NCAA Tournament as the No. 4 seed in the Northeast Regional and face No. 1 seed UMass Lowell on Friday, March 29 at 3:30 p.m. CT in Manchester, N.H.
Verizon Wireless Arena will play host to the Northeast Regional, which contains Wisconsin (22-12-7), UMass Lowell (26-10-2), No. 2-seed and host-school New Hampshire (19-11-7) and No. 3 seed Denver (20-13-5). The matchup between Wisconsin and UMass Lowell will broadcast on ESPN3, and air tape-delayed on ESPNU at 9:30 p.m. CT. The announcement for a local live broadcast is to be determined. The game between UNH and Denver on Friday at 7 p.m. CT, and the regional final on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. CT, will air live on ESPNU.
The winner of the Northeast Regional advances to the 2013 NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Frozen Four set for April 11 and 13 at CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh.
The Badgers enter the national tournament as the 2013 WCHA Final Five champion, having won six-straight games. The conference tournament title marked the program's 12th WCHA playoff crown, its first Broadmoor Trophy since 1998 and first ever under head coach Mike Eaves.
"I think that every team in this tournament can beat any other team," Eaves said. "We've seen that all year in our league and playing in our non-conference games. Any team in this 16-team tournament can win…The issue for us is maintaining what we have and keep rolling."
Wisconsin has won six NCAA titles, including most recently in 2006. The Badgers also won titles in 1990, 1983, 1981, 1977 and 1973.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will travel to Africa, July 31 through August 10, 2012. On her trip, she will make stops in Senegal, South Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, and South Africa. Throughout the trip, Secretary Clinton will emphasize U.S. policy commitments outlined in the Presidential Policy Directive -- to strengthen democratic institutions, spur economic growth, advance peace and security, as well as promote opportunity and development for all citizens.
In Senegal, Secretary Clinton will meet President Sall and other national leaders, as well as deliver a speech applauding the resilience of Senegal's democratic institutions and highlighting America's approach to partnership.
Following her stop in Senegal, the Secretary will travel to South Sudan to meet with President Kiir and to reaffirm U.S. support and to encourage progress in negotiations with Sudan to reach agreement on issues related to security, oil, and citizenship.
In Uganda, Secretary Clinton will meet with President Museveni to encourage strengthening of democratic institutions and human rights, while also reinforcing Uganda as a key U.S. partner in promoting regional security, particularly in regard to Somalia and in regional efforts to counter the Lord's Resistance Army. The Secretary will also highlight U.S. support in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Secretary Clinton will travel to Kenya, where she plans to meet President Kibaki, Prime Minister Odinga, and other government officials to emphasize her support for transparent, credible, nonviolent national elections in 2013. Secretary Clinton will also meet with President Sheikh Sharif and other signatories to the Roadmap to End the Transition to underscore U.S. support for completing the political transition in Somalia by August 20.

Secretary Clinton will be accompanied by a U.S. business delegation.
New York Coalition for Darfur and All Sudan in New York writes:
When in South Sudan, please speak out regarding North Sudan attacks on civilians in border regions of Sudan (S. Kordofan and Blue Nile) and denial of aid to civilians in these areas. Please meet with displaced from these areas and representatives of human rights groups. Let the regime in Khartoum know that it cannot attack civilians with impunity and call on them to stop detention of activists and release all currently in custody.
Ekenyerengozi Michael C. in Nigeria writes:
United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is on a 10-day seven-nation African tour and Nigeria is not included. But The Punch newspaper reported Wednesday August 1, 2012, that she is shunning Nigeria.
If Nigeria is not on her list of selected countries on this African tour that does not mean she has deliberately avoided Nigeria. Mrs. Clinton has visited Nigeria before and her last visit was quite an official trip that she even had the time to be a special guest on Moments With Mo, a popular TV Show.
If she is visiting only six countries, does this mean she is avoiding the remaining 48 countries? Or The Punch expects her to visit all the countries in 10 days?! And must she come to Nigeria whenever she is visiting Africa?
Eric in New Mexico writes:
@ Dipnote bloggers,
Six month left in her term as Secretary of State, looking like it's going to be a sprint to the finish and a million miles traveled in public service..
It may be a small thing, but methinks she's perhaps setting her successor up for a wee bit of an honorable and friendly challenge...a-la; "Top this official milage log why don't ya?"
Also gotta note Amb. Crocker's worthy service in Afghanistan is worth suggesting you'all send him an invite to post his parting thoughts on Dipnote; as to what condition Afghanistan's condition is in, and where he sees the trends point towards in search of Afghan reconciliation.
@ E. Michael C. in Nigeria,
Crunch the numbers,...200 some-odd nations on Earth, minus a handful the US does not have diplomatic relations with;
4 years = 1460 days
In order for the Sec of State to visit 195 countries (once apiece) in that time span , she'd have to visit 1 country every 7.49 days.
I think "The Punch" should ask themselves if they could handle perpetual jet lag on an iteniary like that and even survive in the process of not trying to offend anyone or be percieved as "shunning" them.
I agree totally with what you said, and hopefully those who take offense will crunch the numbers for themselves and figure it out.
Best regards,

Topic: How to get the name of a file being uploaded?
Greetings all,
I have a form that our users use to upload a text file. This is in a very closed environment. Only one or two employees ever use this form. Everything is working fine, but I'd like to be able to verify they are uploading a .txt file. I've been searching/google for hours and have had no luck. The closest I've come is using: upload['datafile'].original_filename, but that does not work with my setup.
My View:
<%= form_for :file_upload, :url => { :action => "micros_upload", :method => :post }, :html => { :multipart => true } do |f| %>
<%= f.file_field('upload') %>
<%= submit_tag 'Upload File' %>
<% end %>
My Controller:
def micros_upload
@message = Array.new
if params[:file_upload]
file_path = params[:file_upload][:upload].path
@message = MicrosImport.micros_upload_from_file(file_path)
The model, MicrosImport has a method micros_upload_from_file() that processes the file passed in using FasterCSV. The file is not saved to the server or a database. I believe it goes to a tmp directory as a part of the upload, but we do not save it anywhere. As noted, this works fine, but I'd like to add in a check to test the type (.txt).
Is there some "hidden field" in the params[:file_upload] that will give me the name of the file being uploaded?
Thanks for any insights.

Anton Chechetka and Katia Sycara
tech. report CMU-RI-TR-05-18, Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, May, 2005
|Many different multi-agent problems, such as distributed scheduling can be formalized as distributed constraint optimization. Ordering the constraint variables is an important preprocessing step of the ADOPT algorithm, the state of the art method of solving distributed constraint optimization problems (DCOP). Currently ADOPT uses depth-first search (DFS) trees for that purpose. For certain classes of tasks DFS ordering does not exploit the problem structure as compared to pseudo-tree ordering. Also the variables are currently ordered in a centralized manner, which requires global information about the problem structure. We present a variable ordering algorithm, which is both decentralized and makes use of pseudo-trees, thus exploiting the problem structure when possible. This allows to apply ADOPT to domains, where global information is unavailable, and find solutions more efficiently. The worst-case pseudo-tree depth resulting from our algorithm is O(2kn), where n is the number of variables, and k is maximum block size in constraint graph. The algorithm has space complexity of O(kn) and time complexity of O(n+|E|+k^(3/2)n^(1/2)), where E is the set of edges in a constraint graph.

Kia Sorento Vibration Problems
The vibrations that I have been having are especially when I come to a stop while still in gear. In park isn't as bad. The new thing is they believe it to be the alternator and the case. So it is going back to the shop for the 5 time. Thank goodness it is under warranty.
My Sorento year 2007 have exactly the steering problems as described by 2BlueEyes. Unable to solve problems with Lube changes/tyre alignments. May I ask for more technical details and how/what to add this `Stepper motor' which solve the problem.
Much appreciate your assistance on this.
thank you. Kay40
Thanks for your advice.
The `Stepper motor' mentioned by 2Blueeyes, is it a different correction method? or technically its the same as your suggestion.
I also am experiencing vibrations on my new V-6 Sorento. I can notice it a variety of speeds and if you place your hand on the passenger headrest or place a bag on the passenger seat you can feel/see it shaking rapidly. At some speeds you can actually hear it. My dealer has looked at the SUV 3 times now and has changed the complete set of tires. No noticable shimmy or pulling on the steering but if you place it neutral you still get vibration which tells me it is not transmission.
I really like my dealer but am getting frustrated with the run around and really feel Kia has a tire problem. A new set of 18" Michelins will really be expensive.
I took mine in 5 times and then they said that through the KIA manufacture they found out the replacing the alternator and the casing it would fix it and it did.
gtalbot416 Posts: 1I'm having the SAME issue but I have an SX. It's been to 2 different dealerships for a total of 4 times. I've driven 2 that have not vibrated but now they are saying it's normal vibrations for all Sorento's. How are you putting pressure because I want my money back as well. When I test drove the sales guy told me he would take care of me and fix it. So I took them at their word. I'm the big dummy who bought it anyway. Thanks so much!!!!
I finally got the vibration fixed by them replacing the alternator and and casing. That was on the 5th try. I noticed a little one every once in a while but that doesn't bug me as much as the fact I am only getting 19 MPG when I was promise more. I would have never bought the car if I thought is was going to be less than my 6 CYL Hyundai. which was always 22 mpg.
Does any one know how we going about getting our money back or getting another car. I told them I was not happy and they immediately tried to sell me another car. And get this I was only going to lose $5000 and the tax and license fees. I was told to wait until I have at least 5000 mile on it and then the mileage would get better. So now I am up to 9000 and they said they have to depreciate it because of mileage. That was after they said it would get better after 10,000. oh please.
How do you sue them?
Ended up being the tires...... took a while but my dealer finally took care of it. There is a warranty on the tires but it is limited. They may be prone to flat spots..... from the car sitting on the lots
stever Viva Las CrucesPosts: 52,573Any idea what the build date is on your Sorento? Usually that info is on a sticker on the driver's door frame.
Moderator - Buying questions? Please include city or zip code and trim you are shopping, FWD or AWD, etc.
sam239 Posts: 1I am also having the same issue as sorento2122 and sblais. I have a 2013 V6 LX model. (I bought this after having a rental for 3 wks and was in the market for a new car so bought one after reading nothing but good reviews about this vehicle.)
After balancing, alignment, replacing my winter tires twice and also the rims with the 2nd replacement and still the same problem.
So they put my all season Kumho's on and it is a lot better. Vibration in steering wheel almost gone and no longer pulls to the right however I still have vibrations when at high speeds on the highway over 100KM (65mph).
Something just isn't right and thought maybe it's just me but other people notice it too if I point it out.
Need to again for the 6th time take it back to the dealer. Dealer has said to me at one point that if it's not the tires then it's the drive shaft...
See what happens next.
Sblais and gtalbot416 have you gotten anywhere since your last posts? Is there a solution to this annoying problem? Glad to discover it's not just me with this issue.
ydidibuykia1 Posts: 1I purchased my 2011 Sorento in August of 2011. In January of 2012 it needed a new motor at 8100 miles. In March of 2012 I replaced the inside light console, later that same year the wheel sensors and a bracket that helps to control the brakes was loose. Now August of 2013 I need a new axcel. This is terrible, horrible that i'm having these problems at 35,000 miles. Please think about my issues when you consider buying your next car or truck

I purchased a 2013 Kia Sorento and I have had nothing but problems. I just had my 4th alignment because my car constantly pulls to the left and the car vibrates when I approach 60mph. Kia blames bad road conditions but this has been since I drove off of the lot. I only have 16000 miles on it and I hate this car. Kia is useless and won't have anything to do with it. Frustrating to say the least. I will NEVER buy a Kia again. Anyone else have these problems?

Chip, I am ordering the Midori you recommended. Any tips on a good gyokuro, either from O-Cha or elsewhere?

I am still awaiting their arrival, but since they are just samples I would like some suggestions on temperatures and steeping times. Chip, I know you have some experience with the Lion Long Jing. Thanks, I've already learned quite a bit from this topic!
sygyzy wrote:Hi Chip,
Thanks again for your wonderfully informative response. I wrote the article as a general rule. I know there are variations for white or green teas. I use 4.5oz per 8 oz cup and it works out for me. When I have odd sized vessels, like my Tokoname pot (9.6 oz), I tend to err on the side of caution. Underbrewing tea is still quite fine with me, but overbrewing is just terrible.
I've been doing sencha at about 180. I will make sure to reduce shincha down. I do Gyukuro at 130 for 2.5 mins. Works out just fine.
Thanks for all the tips. I will revise the article to add a note about green tea.
chip wrote:You are welcome! Your parameters are pretty good, but definately a little cooler for good sencha. Depending on the sencha, 168-176*. I like more aroma, so I actually err on the hot side. More heat = more aroma. Less heat = sweeter flavor. I just love aroma but it can bring the astringency to the surphase if not careful.
sygyzy wrote:My Yukata Midori Shincha just arrived. Quick, someone help me out.
How much should I use? I know the temps should be 168-176.
How long? 2.5 minutes?
Should it be refrigerated?
I also got some Matcha. Does it need to be refrigerated?

I originally posted this about 4 or 5 days ago but I went on vacation and never got to see any responses, if any. Just wanted to get some feedback from some people who actully seen this film live.
Do you think it was a bit harsh to show before a concert? did it kind of bring the mood down? I could only watch it one time and that was enough for me. It wrecked me for about a month. I understand the message the were trying to get across, but man there was some pretty rough images coming across the screen.

Raise awareness, raise your glass. Be the match.
I have had the honor of being in the Be the Match Registry for over three years. I first joined while working at Gilda's Club Rochester, a cancer support community.
Every year, thousands of people of all ages are diagnosed with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases. Many of them will die unless they get a bone marrow or cord blood transplant from a matching donor. Seventy percent of people do not have a donor in their family and depend on the Be The Match Registry to find a match to save their life.
Last year one of my best friends, Sarah Strause, approached me and said her mother, Pok Strause, had been diagnosed with Myelodysplatic Syndrome (MDS), a blood cancer. If she did not find a bone marrow donor, her chances of surviving were not good. Her only chance for a match was the Be the Match Registry. Since Pok is of Korean descent, she had an estimated 73% likelihood of finding a donor.
It was because of the selfless act of a healthy male from Chicago, Pok was able to receive her transplant in July of this year. Sarah says, "Having the life of a loved one saved by the kindness of a stranger is a powerful and humbling experience. Someone I have never met from a different part of the country has given my family hope for the future."
Sarah and her family wish to give this hope to others by hosting a bone marrow drive. A goal of the drive being to engage minority populations in the Rochester area to join the registry. Less than 30% of current registrants are of Hispanic, Asian, African-American or Native American descent.
The Matchmaker, a unique happy hour that will give Rochester residents a chance to join the bone marrow registry and donate to the cause, will be held on Thursday, September 15th from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at Lovin' Cup, 300 Park Point Drive; Henrietta, NY. There will be drink and appetizer specials and door prizes!
For every thirty people that join the registry, one life is saved. They hope to save at least three lives next Thursday. Can you help?
I am in the registry, but I will be there to show my support. For more information on The Matchmaker, contact me: 315.778.8876 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Topic: AJAX browser compatibility?
Hey all,
Recently I've begun adding some ajax elements to my projects and it's turning out to be pretty easy going so far.
I'm just wondering is there some sort of list with an overview of compatible browers some place? I've noticed none of the (very simple) functions I've used so far are working in Safari.

Mission Pérou

Don Boudria Glengarry—Prescott—Russell, ON
Mr. Speaker, Mission Pérou, a group in my riding, is in the process of finalizing details for its humanitarian trip to South America. This August, 11 young people from the Rockland area, and their adult leaders, will be travelling to the Peruvian village of Indiana , where they will build an aqueduct.
Last week, a rockathon and a silent action took place in our community, raising $25,000 for this excellent cause.
My congratulations to Denis Lalonde, the Mission Pérou fundraiser, and to all of the mission participants, for their dedication and civic spirit.

Jay Hill Prince George—Peace River, BC
Mr. Speaker, another income tax deadline has just passed to remind the residents of Mackenzie, B.C., that the Prime Minister's promises are worthless.
Mackenzie, a small remote town in the Rocky Mountains, faces ongoing discrimination at the hands of the federal government. Although further north, more isolated, and with far less amenities than nearby cities to the southeast, Mackenzie residents do not qualify for the northern resident tax deduction.
When the Prime Minister visited my riding as finance minister, he promised Mackenzie citizens that he would review this blatantly unfair practice. Once back in Ottawa, he promptly forgot that commitment to the good people of Mackenzie. No more excuses. The Prime Minister has had a decade to review and correct this obvious error and now he is the one in charge.
Mackenzie residents want the Prime Minister to honour his commitment and tell them whether they will get the northern resident tax deduction when they file their income tax forms next year and if not, why not?
Black Jack
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Marlene Catterall Ottawa West—Nepean, ON
Mr. Speaker, on May 2, 2004, Her Excellency the Governor General honoured 100 years of history with the rechristening of the brigantine Black Jack at the Britannia Yacht Club.
The Black Jack was first christened at Quyon, Quebec, 100 years ago as the G.B. Pattee II , a steam tug plying the Ottawa River for the logging trade. The abandoned tug was salvaged in 1952 by Captain T.G. Fuller, known for his wartime escapades as the "Pirate of the Adriatic".
How fitting that he should refit the old tug as a brigantine which has delighted generations as it sailed the Ottawa River fully rigged as a pirate ship. Through the Bytown Brigantine Inc., the ship has provided sail training to hundreds of young people.
I wish to congratulate the Britannia Yacht Club, the Bytown Brigantine Inc., and to the Fuller family for a unique commemoration of Ottawa River history.
Gasoline Prices
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Mario Laframboise Argenteuil—Papineau—Mirabel, QC
Mr. Speaker, despite the hike in gas prices, the federal government still refuses to do everything in its power to protect consumers and as a result, the price at the pumps has just reached an all-time high.
The public and members of the Bloc Quebecois are angry at the Prime Minister's lack of interest in how the oil companies are treating consumers.
Instead of intervening with constructive measures, such as implementing a petroleum monitoring agency, as requested by the Standing Committee on Industry, the federal government preferred to introduce tax changes that will save the major oil companies some $250 million. Yet, oil company profits have never been so high.
Clearly, the Prime Minister is much more inclined to promote oil company interests than consumer interests. Those are the true Liberal values.
George Balcan
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Clifford Lincoln Lac-Saint-Louis, QC
Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I learned of the passing of George Balcan, whose endearing personality, lively sense of humour and friendly voice made him a prominent figure on Montreal's English airwaves.
George Balcan was for years the voice of CJAD, expressing every morning of every year the joy of life and that special ambience which characterize Montreal.
He was loved not only by his very numerous listeners but by all who were fortunate enough to have known him, always the true gentleman and ever the epitome of intelligence, fairness, wit and class. George leaves a wonderful example and memory.
May I extend to his family and all at CJAD my deepest sympathy on the passing of that special friend of all of us.
Australia and New Zealand Air Crew Memorial
Statements By Members

Art Hanger Calgary Northeast, AB
Mr. Speaker, on April 25 the Australia and New Zealand Air Crew Memorial was unveiled in Calgary. This memorial honours the heroism of the Australians and New Zealanders who came to Canada during World War II to participate in the British Commonwealth air training plan designed to train air crew members for the Allied war efforts.
During the early days of the war, citizens of the British Commonwealth knew the threat they faced would take all the bravery and valour they could summon to defeat it. When the British government asked Canada to host this new training scheme, thousands of Canadians, British, Australians and New Zealanders answered the call.
During the course of the training however many lost their lives or were seriously injured. Among those who died were 146 Australians and 83 New Zealanders, all of whom were buried in Canada.
I wish to congratulate Chairman Derek Appleford and the Australia and New Zealand Air Crew Memorial Committee for advancing the idea of this memorial, for raising the funds necessary to make it a reality, and for a job well done.
Cape Breton Volunteer Firefighters
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Mark Eyking Sydney—Victoria, NS
Mr. Speaker, I have been a member of the Cape Breton Firefighters Burn Care Society for the last number of years. This is a non-profit foundation comprised of police, firefighters, medical personnel and other volunteers who work endlessly on our behalf providing quality care and quick response time when called upon. It not only provides services to victims of fires but also provides information on the prevention and awareness of fire safety.
Every year the Cape Breton Firefighters Burn Care Society hosts the Atlantic Burn Camp. This camp welcomes children of burn injury from across Atlantic Canada. It is a chance for children who have suffered from both internal and external scars to meet with other children to share their stories. It also hosts the annual bowl-a-thon raising approximately $20,000 a year. This year's bowl-a-thon brought firefighters from as far away as Rothsay, New Brunswick.
I would like to take this opportunity to recognize the hard work and dedication of all the volunteers who contribute to the success of this society.
Statistics Canada
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Bill Blaikie Winnipeg—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, for months the NDP has been objecting to the fact that Statistics Canada contracted out the next census to Lockheed Martin.
Questions in the House resulted in the usual non-answers, but I am pleased to say that as a result of our pursuit of this issue and as a result of the pressure exerted by all those Canadians who contacted Statistics Canada, we learned earlier this week that Lockheed Martin will no longer be doing the next census.
As a result of further pressure later in the week, the remaining role of Lockheed Martin in the mini-census was also identified and then dealt with, that is, eliminated.
I say hats off to the Vive le Canada website and to all those who persuaded Statistics Canada that the integrity of the census was at stake. It is one thing to buy software from a company. It is another thing to have it do what Canadians want done in-house by their own Statistics Canada.
The NDP is pleased to have played a role in changing this policy by working with its extra-parliamentary friends on this issue. Unfortunately, as usual the Liberals never got it and did nothing to help.
Mother's Day
Statements By Members
May 7th, 2004 / 11:10 a.m.
Stéphane Bergeron Verchères—Les Patriotes, QC
Mr. Speaker, it appears that the first Mothers' Day celebrations go back to the days of ancient Greece and were in honour of Rhea, mother of the gods. As for the Romans, they celebrated the matraliae day, from the Latin mater , which means "mother".
However, it was in the 17th century that the English instituted a day to honour mothers, one Sunday during the year, and it was under Napoleon that such a day was instituted in France. In America, Mothers' Day first made its appearance toward the end of the 19th century, when that day was a day to mark peace.
In the same spirit, it was during World War I that this day truly became part of our traditions. Back then, it was a day whose objectives were somewhat vague. It was a day when, with peace in mind, we would pay tribute to the distraught mothers who were separated from a son away at war, or worse, mothers who had lost a son. It was also a celebration of maternal fertility, which really was a poorly disguised attempt to encourage them to contribute to the war effort and then to repopulation.
I am taking this opportunity to salute and thank my mother, to whom I owe everything, including life and a determination to excel, and I also wish a very happy Mothers' Day to all mothers.
World Heritage Sites
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Bonnie Brown Oakville, ON
Mr. Speaker, on a broad spectrum of issues this government values highly the advice of Canadian citizens who often work in obscurity and without any public acclaim.
It is with pleasure that I rise today to congratulate the advisory committee of experts and all those who contributed to the development of Canada's new tentative list for world heritage site designation. The list includes 11 sites that Canada may nominate to the world heritage committee over the next decade.
If accepted by the committee, these sites would join the Canadian Rocky Mountain parks and the historic district of Quebec, along with 10 other Canadian wonders, among the existing world heritage sites. Canada is truly a marvel of nature and culture, and these world-class sites will reinforce that fact.
I therefore congratulate all the provincial and territorial governments, the first nations, the organizations and the individual Canadians who cooperated with the Government of Canada to create this new tentative list of sites of outstanding value to all citizens of the world.
Sri Lanka

Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Mr. Speaker, Sri Lanka has just successfully completed elections that saw democracy and a hopeful peace returning to the island.
We note that the Norwegian peace proposal has hit a roadblock.
The Conservative Party calls on all sides to work harder to achieve peace and end the decade-long war that has claimed 65,000 lives since 1983.
While we acknowledge the Tamil minority's grievances, we do not support the tactics of the LTTE. As a matter of fact, Velupillai Prabhakaran, the leader of the LTTE, should be declared a war criminal and brought in front of the international court. He has the blood of innocent people on his hands. We cannot let him escape justice.
Statements By Members

Eugène Bellemare Ottawa—Orléans, ON
Mr. Speaker, on May 4, the Institute for Management Development ranked Canada third in the world in terms of competitiveness for this year. Canada has moved up three places since 2003, when we were ranked sixth.
Our government's good management has something to do with it. Our budgetary prudence, debt reduction and our support for our researchers and research infrastructure have contributed to this success.
I am happy to say that the efforts we have made over the past few years have borne fruit. At the end of the day, all Canadians will benefit from this.
National Forest Week
Statements By Members
11:15 a.m.
Canadian Alliance
Andy Burton Skeena, BC
Mr. Speaker, this week various government and non-government organizations are sponsoring activities across the country to promote and support the 2004 National Forest Week.
The slogan for this year's week, "Canada's Forests--A Fine Balance", sums it up. It is a reminder of the vulnerability of our forests and their inhabitants. We must ensure the continuing health and sustainability of our forests.
For generations, Canada's forests have contributed immensely to the quality of life in our communities and they will continue to be a major source of employment and recreational activity for thousands of Canadians.
In B.C., especially in areas such as my riding of Skeena, forestry is an integral part of the overall economy. Challenges such as the softwood lumber dispute and the devastating mountain pine beetle epidemic continue to face the industry, but these challenges are being met head-on through innovation, investment and research.
Canada's forests are a sustainable resource that we must use wisely and with respect. Our future lies with our resources, and our forests and the forest industry deserve continuing support and recognition.

Mr. Speaker, no one knows where this Prime Minister stands on health care. He has been running away, has failed to implement a five year health accord that was signed with the provinces, and now he is talking only about a 10 year health plan that nobody has seen and nobody has agreed to.
Will the Prime Minister tell us before an election what, if anything, is actually in his hidden, secret health care plan?

Nvidia Corp. said during a conference call with the financial analysts that it had transited its mainstream and performance-mainstream graphics processing units (GPUs) to a new process technology, which helps to reduce costs. In addition, the firm confirmed that it is about to release its high-end graphics processors made using 55nm process technology.
"Improving gross margin while managing operating expenses enabled us to significantly improve our operating fundamentals. We transitioned our performance segment GPUs to 55nm and are now poised to recapture lost share," said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and chief executive at Nvidia, during the most recent conference call with financial analysts.
In particular, Nvidia's GeForce 9600 GT, GeForce 9800 GT, GeForce 9800 GTX+ and some other similar products now feature GPUs made using 55nm process technologies, which means that they are less expensive to make and may offer higher performance due to higher clock-speeds. Additionally, Nvidia started shipping its chipsets with integrated graphics that are also made using 55nm fabrication process.
"We have 65nm inventory remaining, but everything we are ramping now is 55nm and everything on the high-end that we are shipping now is 55nm," added Mr. Huang, implying that Nvidia is ready with its code-named GT200b/GT206 graphics processor, which is a lower-cost version of the GT200/G200 that powers GeForce GTX 260 and GTX 280 graphics cards.
The head of Nvidia expressed hopes that the company would regain market share in the high-end segment thanks to newer and less expensive graphics processor. The company also admitted that the GeForce GTX-series graphics cards were too expensive to manufacture to react quicky on ATI's offence with the Radeon HD 4800 lineup.
"We absolutely will regain market share and this is a segment where technology matters, performance matters, architecture matters, and we have the best lineup. Our challenge was never architectural leadership, our challenge was that we were caught flat footed at 65nm and our chip and board solution was just too expensive. And so, we have made that transition in Q2 and we are in Q3 and we are through that transition, and we are off and running," said Mr. Huang.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2009, revenue was $897.7 million compared to $1.12 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, a decrease of 20%. For the nine months ended October 26, 2008, revenue increased to $2.94 billion compared to $2.90 billion for the nine months ended October 28, 2007, an increase of 2%.

After the initial year of the 90% silver proofs, proof coins were eliminated from the Mint offering for the next three years. When the proofs were re-introduced in 1968 they were composed of a silver clad composition. In 1971 the silver was eliminated, then returned for the bicentennial, then removed again before reappearing in 1992. This has become a long and somewhat complex set, but it's highly collected by a nation that remembers this popular President.
