The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory is again home to the most powerful computer in the world, according to the Top500 list, a semiannual ranking of computing systems around the world. The list was announced at this week's SC12 International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Titan replaced the XT5 Jaguar at ORNL last month. Jaguar ranked as the world's fastest computer on the Top500 lists in November 2009 and June 2010, and now Titan is the scientific research community's most powerful computational tool for exploring solutions to some of today's most challenging problems.
"The new Top500 list clearly demonstrates the U.S. commitment to applying high-performance computing to breakthrough science, and that's our focus at Oak Ridge," said ORNL Director Thom Mason. "We'll deliver science from Day One with Titan, and I look forward to the advancements the Titan team will make in areas such as materials research, nuclear energy, combustion and climate science."
Titan is a Cray XK7 system that contains 18,688 nodes, each built from a 16-core AMD Opteron 6274 processor and an NVIDIA Tesla K20X GPU accelerator. Titan also has 710 terabytes of memory.
Its hybrid architecture -- the combination of traditional central processing units (CPUs) with graphic processing units (GPUs) -- is largely lauded as the first step toward the goal of exascale computing, or generating 1,000 quadrillion calculations per second using 20 megawatts of electricity or less.
Titan reached a speed of 17.59 petaflops on the Linpack benchmark test -- the specific application that is used to rank supercomputers on the Top500 list. Titan is capable of a theoretical peak speed of 27 quadrillion calculations per second -- 27 petaflops -- while using approximately 9 megawatts of electricity, roughly the amount required for 9,000 homes.
That capability makes Titan 10 times faster than Jaguar with only a 20 percent increase in electrical power consumption -- a major efficiency coup made possible by GPUs, which were first created for computer gaming.
"It's not practical or affordable to continue increasing supercomputing capacity with traditional CPU-only architecture," said ORNL's Jeff Nichols, associate laboratory director for computing and computational sciences. "Combining GPUs and CPUs is a responsible move toward lowering our carbon footprint, and Titan will enable scientific leadership by providing unprecedented computing power for research in energy, climate change, materials, and other disciplines."
Because they handle hundreds of calculations simultaneously, GPUs can perform many more calculations than CPUs in a given time. By relying on its 299,008 CPU cores to guide simulations and allowing its new NVIDIA GPUs to do the heavy lifting, Titan will enable researchers to run scientific calculations with greater speed and increased fidelity.
"The order of magnitude performance increase of Titan over Jaguar will allow U.S. scientists and industry to address problems they could only dream of tackling before," said Buddy Bland, Titan project manager at DOE's Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility. Scientists began using portions of Titan as it was under construction, demonstrating the significant capabilities of the hybrid system. Among early application areas:
Other efforts include calculating specific climate change adaptation and mitigation scenarios, obtaining a molecular description of thin films important for the emerging field of flexible organic electronic devices, and calculating radiation transport, a process important in fields ranging from astrophysics to medical imaging.
"Titan builds on the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility's established reputation for enabling transformational discoveries across the scientific spectrum," Nichols said.
ORNL is managed by UT-Battelle for the Department of Energy. The Department of Energy is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States, and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time. For more information, please visit http://science.energy.gov/.
The Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility supports national science priorities through deployment and operation of advanced supercomputers as part of DOE's commitment to providing scientists with world-leading research tools.
The Top500 project was started in 1993 to provide a basis for tracking and detecting trends in high-performance computing. Twice a year, a list of sites operating the 500 most powerful computer systems is released. The best performance on the High Performance Linpack benchmark is used as performance measure for ranking the computer systems. The list contains a variety of information including the system's specifications and its major application areas.

Enough! You decide to go back to your cubicle and maybe check on some latest stories in Protagonize.
All right, you've had enough. So what if somebody has left you a weird voice-message? So what if somebody tapped you on the back causing you to spill coffee on your pants? So what if Bill and Rita are laughing at you? You need to get back to work - continue whatever you were doing. Just ignore those crazy pranksters.
You get back to your cubicle. Okay, what next? The other day Sanjay was telling you about this protagonize site. "Dude, it's so cool! Someone writes a piece of story with different possible branches and someone else continues it. You should check it out!"
You've got some time to kill. That report your boss asked can wait a little bit. Here it goes.. www.protagonize.com. Bingo! One of the top stories is.. "Ah, Cubicle Life!" Hmm.. sounds interesting!
"Beautiful, small, dark puke green carpeted, 8x8 square box.." sounds so like yours, doesn't it?
"Time consuming worthless voice-mail messages" - Damn right, they are!
"Mysterious message.." - It almost sounds like they are talking about you, doesn't it?
"Hey, wait a goddamn minute! THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT ME!!!"
Holy cow! Hmm... This is getting serious. It sounds like someone is watching your every step.
And who are Terran_Nytefyer, WillTurner and all these others anyway? And how did they know what you're doing, and what you will be doing next?
"Hey, you've got something to do with this, don't you?"
What, me? Like I said, I'm just that little voice in your head. Anyway, you now notice something you missed before - A tiny little object that looks like a camera on the ceiling, facing your cubicle.

Musings from the Vines - December 2016
The big storm
Well the weatherman is projecting some serious rain over the next few days.
Luckily most of our grapes are now safely fermenting away in the winery and what's left should weather pretty much anything.
Well... except the Pinot Noir. Despite our best efforts there's a smidge of pinot still hanging in one vineyard. We made a strategic decision to pick our massive crop of Tempranillo before finishing the last of the pinot. The tempranillo looks amazing so it is definitely worth it.
So far the pinot us holding on but we now have to wait almost a week before we can finish up. Why? Weĺl because a) the weather is predicted to be awful b) I dont have any empty fermenters left until I ferment and press what we've already picked and c) even if I had fermenters and good weather I dont have empty space to put another fermenter. Yes we're full to the rafters right now. Not a square inch free anywhere.
So we're in a holding pattern with just a few picking days left before we're done.
So far it's looking like a record harvest may be in the works - or at least on par with our amazing 2015 crop.
Harvest Continues
So we're right in the thick of it.
All our whites are picked and we're right in the middle of picking our reds. Pinot Noir is a little over half picked and Tempranillo is on deck followed by Cab-Foch to finish off.
So far everything has been impeccably clean. Almost no signs of rot mildew or mould. Our harvest tends to be drawn out. We rely on volunteers from wwoof and workaway as our picking crew. This year I've also been busier consulting and have been away for a week after the whites were finished.
But the end is in sight. Pinot should be all off in a couple more days and the remaining reds are thick skinned tough grapes that can stand up the inclement weather quite well
It's hard work chasings Robins from the nets.
and from a couple of weeks ago... pinot gris dark enough to masquerade as a red
Harvest has started
So fall is almost here and we've begun to pick our grapes already. Siegerrebe is done and we're starting on our sparkling blend for Katherine's Sparkle. This includes a field blend from one of our leased vineyards of pinot gris, ortega, siegerrebe, kerner, and chardonnay blended with four experimental whites from our estate vineyard.
despite the early colour from the pinot gris this blend wont have much colour when its finished.
Try a local island favourite: Rocky Creek Winery wins 2 double gold on its "WOW" factor. 80 Medals to date for the craft winery.
Looks like more good news on it's way
Well, we are still a bit overwhelmed by the great result at the All Canadian Wine Championships. A double gold was the absolute best result we could ever have hoped for. The other competition we have traditionally done very well at is the Northwest wine summit. Results haven't been posted online yet, but the organizer, Parks Redwine, emailed me our results today. I'm waiting for clarification on one item, but there is definitely more good news.
I'll use a true Canadianism... I think I'm getting a double-double... :)
more to follow.....
Double gold at the All Canadian Wine Championships!
Well, our Wild Blackberry has always been a great wine, but the latest vintage is definitely our best. We just found out it won Double Gold at the All Canadian Wine Championships and is the Best Soft Fruit Dessert Wine in Canada this year.
Full results of the competition can be found here: http://allcanadianwinechampionships.com/acwc-2016-results/
Congrats to the other Vancouver Island wineries who are also bringing home medals - Blue Grouse, Silverside, Enrico, Unsworth and Beaufort Winery.
Great start to the growing season
Well, last year was surprisingly early and this year has been even hotter, and our vines are ahead of last year even.
Bud break was about the same time as last year, but April was very warm (warmest that even veteran grape growers on the island can remember) so our vines have been growing like crazy and are already getting ready to bloom in some cases.
I've almost caught up on vineyard work after our struggles in the early parts of this year - looks like everything is progressing nicely.
Spring Releases for Mother's Day
Well, winter is over, and spring is here in full force. We've bottled our whites and rose's, and will be releasing them over the next couple of weeks.
In honour of Mother's Day, we are releasing our newest wine - TLC. TLC is a white blend of Viognier, Albarino, Ortega, Kerner, Siegerrebe, and Pinot Gris.
TLC is named after Linda, whose name means "tender and caring".
I'll be pouring both TLC and our latest vintage of Siegerrebe at the Duncan Farmer's Market this Saturday!
Valentine's Things to Do
And now presenting....
Well, this is cool.
After 2 years of struggling with our old website, trying to keep it fresh and up to date (and sometimes even struggling just keeping it working) we decided to go in a different direction and completely update our site.
What is surprising? Well Linda has always been the one wanting to drive the creative content, but has had a hard time getting the programmers to turn her vision into bytes...
This time we've found an option where Linda did all the design work / programming herself, so the website is totally under her control and we can change *anything* we want about it on the fly.
Super cool.
I'm so proud of the job she did on this, I think it's a huge step up from the sites we paid for, and it looks way more professional.
Linda, busy programming at her desk
Abbotsford Christmas Show
This weekend we had a good opportunity to be a family team and spend time with each other. We attended the Christmas show and what a busy weekend. We met so many people and want to take the time to say how great it was to meet everyone. We also had a good time with all our neighbors and fellow wineries and distilleries. It was a long day but the spirit was there and we are very happy to be a part of the artisan section. The venues of farmer's markets and craft shows fits into the local flavour and sustainability of our wines. We are so thankful that it is well received by the people attending. We took the time to really make it festive and our daughter Katherine did a great display of our theme of silver and white. Cheers to the season and this weekend really put us in the mood. Time to keep decorating.

Dispute resolution: Jersey, Channel Islands - .PDF file.
Litigation is the main form of dispute resolution used in Jersey to settle large commercial disputes. Arbitration is not yet used frequently despite the passing of the
Arbitration (Jersey) Law 1998, which provides a legal framework for arbitration and gives effect to the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards.
The island's government has, in addition, made a contribution towards the running costs of the City Disputes Panel, which operates in London, with a view to encouraging dispute resolution using that body.
There is no obligation upon parties to pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) under the Royal Court Rules (RCR), although a party can be penalised on costs if they unreasonably refuse to mediate…

Islamabad, Sep 28 (ANI): Following aerial engagement in Pakistani territory by the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik has called it a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty, and assured the Senate that the Afghan ambassador would be summoned to explain his position over the cross-border air raids by the ISAF.
Responding to points of order in the House, Malik confirmed that two NATO helicopters, which had entered Pakistan and killed 30 insurgents, had violated the Pakistani territory, the Daily Times reported.
"This is an attack on our sovereignty. We will react soon and serve notice on Afghan ambassador", Malik said, adding that the Foreign Office was investigating the matter.
Commenting on the situation in Balochistan, he claimed that target killings there were under control due to the measures taken by him during his visit to the province, adding that the arrest of 100 absconders and the banning of five organisations in Balochistan had improved the situation there.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai had been informed that Afghanistan's border areas were being used against Pakistan, and that anti-Pakistan elements had camps in Kandahar, Malik stated.
He also said that action would be taken against Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, as the government had enough evidence to prove that the banned outfit was involved in terrorist incidents. (ANI)

Did you know?
Elastane: a synthetic, elastane is added in small quantities to fabrics to provide stretch and shape retention. It allows freedom of movement and delivers long lasting fit. Lycra is a premium branded version of elastane.
Mesh: is a type of fabric that is woven like a web or a net. In contrast to tulle, however, mesh is stretchy and is often used to make activewear.
Polyester: is something of a miracle fabric. A synthetic, it can be worn over and over without fading or losing its shape and is crease resistant. It works well in blends with natural fabrics such as cotton where it extends their life.
Nylon: Nylon tights took the world by storm beginning in the 1950s and changed the textile branch – it is hard now to imagine women only wearing silk tights. Nylon is the trademark name for a chemical fibre that is composed of polyamide and is known for its exceptional elasticity.
Size & Fit
Eighty per cent of women wear the wrong size bra, so finding the perfect bra can be life changing. We can help you find bras so amazing, they will feel like they were made to measure.

Near the end of December, the club acquired catcher Luis Martinez from the San Diego Padres in exchange for right-handed reliever Ryan Kelly. On Tuesday, the team landed corner infielder Brandon Snyder from Baltimore for cash considerations. Snyder, a 40-man roster member, brings the Rangers to 38 players on the list. Martinez finished the 2011 season in the major leagues but had recently been designated for assignment by San Diego.
Texas also re-signed first baseman/outfielder Brad Nelson to a minor league contract. Utility infielder Omar Quintanilla reached a minor league deal with the Mets while Merkin Valdez has inked with the Oakland Athletics.
The Miami native had played his entire career in the San Diego system, beginning in '07. He split last season between Triple-A Tucson and the majors. With Tucson, Martinez played in 58 games and posted a .323/.379/.434 slash line while throwing out 14-of-50 (.280) potential base stealers. He played in 22 major league games, throwing out 5-of-19 (.263) base stealers and going 12-for-59 (.203) at the plate with one double, one triple, and one home run.
Kelly found more success after adding the cutter mid-way through the season, helping add deception to his fastball, which lacks much movement despite its above-average velocity. The 24-year-old hurler improved as the year progressed and logged a 2.95 ERA in 21 second-half appearances. Though he wasn't among the Rangers' top prospects, Kelly remains a solid relief arm with the potential to carve out a major league career.
As a member of the Rangers' 40-man roster, Snyder receives an automatic invitation to major league spring training, but he is likely to open the 2012 season with Triple-A Round Rock. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound righty is primarily a first baseman (after beginning his career behind the plate) but has also played some third base in recent seasons.
The former Brewers farmhand spent the winter in the Dominican Republic, where he played in 24 games for the Gigantes del Cibao. Nelson went 18-for-82 (.220) with seven doubles and two home runs, walking 16 times with 20 strikeouts. He should fill a similar role with the Express again this coming season.

Iraq's Destiny Is Tied to U.S. Policy in Iran
NPR Senior News Analyst Daniel Schorr says that the upcoming report of the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group is likely to suggest enlisting the help of Iran to resolve the Iraq conflict.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
President Bush met with members of the bipartisan Iraq Study Group at the White House today. Next month the commission will present its report to Congress and the administration laying out possible changes to U.S. policy. Asked about the meeting, here is some of what the president had to say.
President GEORGE W. BUSH: I'm not going to prejudge the Baker Commission's report. I was pleased to meet with them. I was impressed by the quality of their membership. I was impressed by the questions they asked. They want us to succeed in Iraq, just like I want to succeed. So we had a really good discussion. I'm not sure what the report is going to say. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
BLOCK: That's President Bush speaking today at the White House.
NPR's senior new analyst, Daniel Schorr, is also looking forward to seeing the Iraq Study Group's report, and he says the U.S. will likely look for help from other countries as it looks for a way forward in Iraq.
DANIEL SCHORR: A apparently despairing of resolving the Iraq conflict within Iraq alone, the Iraq Study Group has begun exploring ways to enlist the influence of neighboring countries, especially Iran, which has influence with the Shiites of Iraq. Last month the commission's chairman, James Baker, had a three-hour dinner meeting in the New York home of Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran's ambassador to the United Nations. The United States has no diplomatic relations with Iran, at loggerheads over Iran's nuclear program.
But Baker, although he briefs the White House, can claim not to represent the government. Baker has some experience in multilateral diplomacy. In 1991, as the senior President Bush's Secretary of State, he organized with Soviet support a conference in Madrid of Israel and its neighboring states that launched the first ever direct talks between Israel and all its neighbors.
But that was before there was an Iranian nuclear program that drew down American sanctions and international condemnation. Undoubtedly Iran could be of service in trying to resolve the Sunni/Shiite sectarian war, but Israel for one would be strenuously opposed to including Iran in any regional conference.
It may be coincidental that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and leaders of the Iraq Study Group are in Washington simultaneously discussing their overlapping problems. What effect these consultations will have on the central American political problem - when the troops can come home - that's hard to read at this point. But clearly some move will be made to internationalize the problem of Iraq.
This is Daniel Schorr.

I am writing this to say goodbye. I have had a very full and eventful life. My mommy and daddy brought me home on May 16, 1996. On the way home I threw up 3 times in daddy's truck and he wasn't happy about it. During my puppy years I chewed up 2 comforters, some shoes and many socks. I had some trouble with potty training as well. Mom and Dad stuck by me the whole time and we worked through my issues. I welcomed 3 babies home, saw my family safely across the country twice as we moved and in many homes through the years. I have seen a few dogs come and go and have made many memories with many of them. My best memories are with my Papaw and Mamaw. Papaw and I have had a very special relationship since day 1. I stayed happy for my Mom and Dad right up until the end. I was trying to keep going despite being sick but I just couldn't hold on anymore. My mommy and daddy made a very good decision and took me to the vet today so I could stop hurting and go to a happier place. I will miss my family very much and I know they will miss me. I love you all and I will be waiting by the pearly gates for you with my ball in my mouth ready for a game of fetch.

Sorry, no synopsis is currently available.
Africa...a land of such contrasts. The breathtaking beauty of the land and its people versus the wide scale corruption, greed and horrific atrocities committed...one human to another.
The author vividly "paints this picture" in such an open and honest way; writing with such a depth of feeling, thought and sensitivity...thus allowing me to almost "be there".
This is an inspiring story of courage to "follow the path of heart as opposed to the path of convenience"; the will of the human spirit to survive and adapt to life's situations and the flexibility to always "make a plan".
I am an African; perhaps the reason why this story resonated so well with me.
In my opinion a very worthwhile read.
The author's words to his sons..."to enjoy every sandwich"...I think that I might just remember that!
Tanganyika Dreaming is a journey through an adventurous period of life that leaves you little option but to hold your breath and see what happens until the very last page.
The author paints vivid pictures that pull you inside the story and he almost has you "watching" every scene, whether it be a drive through a genocide or an encounter of a more intimate nature.
The story has all the elements that one might expect: history, war, international aid and its contradictions and failures, adventure, love, sex, money, but where the true, real protagonist of the story is Africa and its powerful nature and environment.
The writing style is direct and brutally honest, sometimes naïve but genuine all the same, and somehow full of love, totally inspired.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
He forced the movement of my shoulder without my permission!! Thanks
Yes. If the workers compensation insurance company's doctor hurt you, you have a potential claim. What are your injuries? Have you sought medical attention? Have you reported these injuries to your worker's compensation lawyer - or the worker's compensation insurer? You should be prepared to answer these questions when you consult with a lawyer concerning your case. Good luck.Ask a similar question
He forced movement of my shoulder without my permission!! Left shoulder, Left neck upper back i felt instant pain and got a witness to the exam! Yes i went to the doctor and told my lawyer but he did nothing and said he wouldn't touch do the case unless i get a doctor to testify!! Thanks for the reply!!
If you were truly injured, it is compensable under your current claim. No independent suit could possibly be viable. Discuss further with your attorney.
If this information has been helpful, please indicate by clicking the up icon. Legal Disclaimer: Mr. Candiano is licensed to practice law in Illinois and Indiana.

I am unaware whether this question has ever been raised in a Wisconsin personal injury case. However, there is at least one reported decision in which it was decided that an employee who was injured in an accident en route to an Independent Medical Evaluation was covered by the Worker's Compensation statute. As such, she was able to recover WC benefits for the injuries she suffered in that accident, in addition to those suffered in the original work injury. The rationale was that but for the work accident, she would never have been traveling to the IME appointment at the time she was injured.
While this does not automatically mean that you could not sue the IME doctor, the doctor's insurance carrier would surely raise it as a defense. In addition, because there is no doctor-patient relationship formed at an IME appointment, a medical malpractice claim would likely not be successful.Ask a similar question
The short answer is "Yes".
This advise is given in a general sense, since all relevant facts are are unknown. Contact an attorney so you can explore all concerns relating to your particular legal situation.Ask a similar question

"Since when did this happen?" Dr. Richardson asked me as he observes me head to toe.
"Few months ago."
"Aside from this, what else do you experience?"
"Um, I usually palpitate. Even when I'm just sitting on the couch, relaxing and stuff and then I sometimes have difficulty in breathing."
"Hmm.. inhale, exhale." He said, as he puts the stethoscope on my back and moves it from one place to another.
"Gabriel, I think you should see a cardiologist."
"Is there someone available right now?"
"Let me see.." He looked at his watch and a sheet of paper inside his desk. "Ah! Dr. Simons is available today, he doesn't seem to have an appointment so maybe I can borrow him some of his time for you. So, mind coming with me?"
"Certainly." I assured him.
He led me to Dr. Simons' clinic. Dr. Simons is a young looking man, someone who doesn't look older than 40 but I have heard of him a dozen times already a few years ago when my grandmother was diagnosed with some heart disease.
"Arnold, that lad over there, I think he has a problem. Would you give that child a little of your time?" Dr. Richardson said in a whisper, preventing me to hear it. But unfortunately, I was able to hear them talk.
"It's fine. I got nothing to do. Bring him here."
"Thank you Arnold! Come here lad!"
I went towards the table and Dr. Simons started checking on me. It lasted for a few minutes.
"You'll have to take a few tests. Would you like do take them now?"
"I would love to."
I took a few tests, they're mostly I think related to my heart. If you'll ask me what they are, I can't tell. I'm not familiar with them. As soon as Dr. Simons had finished studying and comparing the results, I couldn't cope with the emotions I had.

So-called "zero-energy" homes are still rare in Houston, but they're slowly gaining popularity as more and more homeowners make efforts to conserve energy and use renewable resources. As Houston Public Radio's Jack Williams reports, the "solar house" in Bellaire is just one example of what's known as a "green home."
The 4500-square foot home on Valerie Street in Bellaire features a long list of energy efficient features that are evident nearly everywhere you look, from the dozens of double-pane windows that naturally light the home during the day to the large solar panels on the roof. This is homeowner and designer Kathleen Carrier.
"The goal of the house was to incorporate as many energy efficient features as we could. It's a combination of active energy efficiency and passive. Active being solar panels, solar hot water heater, solar pool heater, and geothermal and also passive, such as natural day-lighting, fluorescent lighting, overhangs, a radiant barrier in the attic. Things like that."
Carrier is one of the early adapters, a rare homeowner who has gone to extremes to capture renewable energy. She says it might not be cheap to build green, but it's worth it in the long run.
"Using renewable energy may not always be the most cost-effective to become energy efficient. It might be upgrading your windows. It might be building a house with a metal roof instead of a composition shingle roof. So it's very important to find a builder and an architect or designer that can help you sort through those decisions and you can get the best value for your money."
One of those builders is Chris Fry, president of Dovetail Builders here in Houston, the company that built Carrier's solar home. He says green homes still aren't very popular in Houston, but interest is growing.
"I would say that it's in its infancy in our market in Houston. Of course in California it's very popular. In Austin it's very popular. In Houston it's just now becoming a popular concept and beginning to be something that our clients are interested in."
Even if homeowners can't afford expensive upgrades like solar panels and geothermal systems, they can afford different light bulbs. That according to Aaron Mercier with Environment Texas, who says a simple bulb change can save a lot of energy.
"Nine-percent of all household electricity consumption in America goes to lighting and if every household in America was to replace its most heavily used incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescents, we could reduce our consumption of energy for lighting by half. Something that simple and inexpensive can make a dramatic difference."
Environment Texas has released a list of the top ten opportunties to build new energy in the future. You can find a link to that list on our website, KUHF.org.

Police in southern India detained five construction company officials on Sunday as rescuers using gas cutters and shovels searched for dozens of workers believed buried beneath a building that collapsed during monsoon rains. It was one of two weekend building collapses that killed at least 22 people. Nearly 90 contract workers are believed to have been in the basement of the 11-storey structure collecting their wages when it collapsed on Saturday on the outskirts of Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu. Police said of 31 people pulled from the rubble four had died on the spot and seven died later in hospital.
Officials said the exact number of those trapped is unknown. Rescuers could hear voices in the rubble which may take two to three days to clear. Police officer George Fernandes said two directors, two engineers and a supervisor of the construction company, Prime Sristi, were detained for questioning.
Balaguru, a builder at the site, said the structure may have collapsed due to lightning. "Usually, once the construction gets over we install the equipment to prevent the building from a thunder strike. It was nearing completion," the Press Trust of India news agency quoted him as saying.
Earlier on Saturday 11 people died and one survivor was taken to hospital after a four-storey, 50-year-old structure toppled in a poor neighbourhood of New Delhi, said the fire service officer Praveer Haldiar. Building collapses are common in India, where high demand for housing and lax regulations have encouraged some builders to cut corners, use substandard materials or add unauthorised extra floors.

THE STONE ROSES would admit that they weren't the fittest lads in music during the early Nineties.
But this time around the Manchester band – who play their first big reunion show in Barcelona tonight – are getting in shape while embracing a sport of champions: Darts.
They boys have been told to watch what they eat and look after themselves in preparation for the gruelling tour ahead – but the biggest physical interest has been in the arras.
Bassist Mani wants to set up a darts league which will go on throughout the tour.
And remember, stay out of the black and into the red, nothing in this game for two in a bed.
They are all settled men now – but generally speaking, two in a bed is a decent result on tour…
