It's a strange combination for that very reason that one is always out of season from the other.
But it does sound delightful.

Toronto Mayor John Tory will announce Tuesday whether the largest Canadian city will launch a bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics, his office said.
Five cities -- Budapest, Hamburg, Los Angeles, Paris and Rome -- are already in the mix as confirmed candidates.
But Toronto has yet to say whether it will throw its hat into the ring, with the revelation now expected on the International Olympic Committee's filing deadline day.
Tory's pending announcement -- listed on his agenda for Tuesday morning -- comes as a poll showed that nearly one in two Toronto residents is opposed to hosting the Games.

'Women and Politics' to headline downtown lecture series
Despite Arizona's reputation as an ultra-conservative state, it was one of the first states to give women the power to vote and has historically supported them in roles of leadership, according to Heidi Osselaer, a faculty associate in the Department of History and author of "Winning Their Place: Arizona Women in Politics, 1883-1950," who will kick off the fall 2012 Humanities Lecture Series at the Downtown Phoenix campus.
"The Humanities Lecture Series provides us with opportunities to analyze, discuss and interpret events. We look forward to public discussions that help us to understand and appreciate various points of view on political, social and cultural issues," said Frederick C. Corey, director of ASU's School of Letters and Sciences and dean of University College.

Star Princess is a Grand-class cruise ship, operated by Princess Cruises. Star Princess is a sister ship to Grand Princess and the Golden Princess.
An earlier ship of the same name is now operating as Pacific Pearl in the P&O Cruises Australia fleet. Star Princess was built by Fincantieri in Monfalcone, Italy in 2002, and has hull number 6051. Star Princess differs slightly in upper deck layout from her predecessors, having an extra plunge pool (and one less hot tub) at the stern (deck 15) and with the deletion of the "Off Limits" teenagers' hot tub & sunbathing area featured further forward on her predecessors.
Another ship of similar design, Caribbean Princess, was subsequently built, featuring an additional deck of cabins ("Riviera Deck") to accommodate more passengers.
Accidents and incidents[edit]
2006 fire[edit]
On 23 March 2006, at about 3 am, a fire broke out in the passenger compartments, amidships, on the port side of the ship.[2] Shortly after, the captain sounded the general emergency signal—seven short blasts followed by one long blast on the ship's whistle (over the PA) and the ship's horn and alarms, is the General Emergency Stations Signal. Suddenly it woke passengers up all over the ship. Passengers went to muster stations and evacuees were combined into groups, then stationed in muster stations, theatres, restaurants and other public ares, for about seven hours. Some passengers who needed regular medication required crew members to go into their suites and retrieve their medication.
Passengers evacuated their cabins into public areas through smokey hallways, grabbing their life jackets on the way. The evacuation was reportedly orderly, in contrast to deadlier fires such as those on Morro Castle and Yarmouth Castle.[3] Lifeboats were lowered, but proved to be unnecessary, as the fire was contained and doused, and the ship headed into Montego Bay under her own power.
The fire was probably caused by a cigarette left burning on a balcony, which had become hot enough to melt the balcony divides made from plastic polycarbonate, a material that had been approved by international cruise line safety rules. The fire caused scorching damage in up to 150 cabins, and smoke damage in at least 100 more on passenger decks 9 to 12 (Dolphin, Caribe, Baja and Aloha decks). A passenger, Richard Liffidge, 72, of Georgia, died from "asphyxia secondary to inhalation of smoke and irrespirable gases" and thirteen other passengers suffered significant smoke inhalation.
While a smouldering discarded cigarette probably did cause the flames, the following items were also at fault for allowing the fire to spread as quickly as it did:
- The balconies' polycarbonate partitions, polyurethane deck tiles, and the plastic furniture were highly combustible and produced large quantities of very thick black smoke when burned.
- The glass in the doors between the staterooms and balconies was neither fire retardant, to meet with the requirements of an 'A' class division, nor self-closing.
- The balconies crossed main zone fire boundaries, both horizontally and vertically, and were without structural or thermal barriers at the zone or deck boundaries.
- No fire detection or fire suppression systems were fitted on the balconies.
Passengers were evacuated to hotels in Jamaica and subsequently were flown home. The ship was en route from Grand Cayman to Montego Bay, Jamaica, after departing Fort Lauderdale, Florida on 19 March 2006. With 79 cabins destroyed and a further 204 damaged, the ship was moved to the Bahamas where she was prepared for a transatlantic crossing to Bremerhaven, Germany for repairs. Her remaining Caribbean cruises and a transatlantic cruise were cancelled, with the anticipation that she would begin her summer season in the Baltic mid-May.
The ship was repaired at the Lloyd Werft in Bremerhaven, set sail again on 13 May 2006, and resumed its regular service on 15 May from Copenhagen.[4][5] Passengers reported that the only noticeable differences were a strong smell of new carpeting, the addition of sprinklers to all balconies and the replacement of plastic furniture with non-combustible alternatives.
2012 - Fishing Boat Fifty Cent[edit]
On March 10, 2012, en route in the Pacific off South America, three passengers from Star Princess spotted a small boat drifting with waving seamen, apparently in distress. They notified the crew. Star Princess, however, did not change course to investigate.[6] On March 19, the Ecuadorean coast guard rescued the Panamanian fishing boat Fifty Cent with one survivor on board. Subsequent communication between the survivor, a reporter, and the Star Princess passengers led to allegations that the small boat sighted nine days prior was in fact the Fifty Cent, and that Star Princess had failed to stop and render aid.[7]
Princess Cruises first indicated that there had been a breakdown in communication and the captain had not been notified of the sighting.[8] A later report stated that a crew member did in fact convey the passengers' concerns to the bridge, and that the ship's log for that time on 10 March contained an entry recording that the ship had deviated to the west to avoid the fishing nets, and that the fishermen had "signaled their thanks" for avoiding their nets."[9]
By June, two lawsuits had been filed against Princess Cruises on behalf of the fishermen of the Fifty Cent. In August, Princess Cruises responded with the claim that Star Princess and Fifty Cent were never within sight of one another and thus the accusations were the result of mistaken identity. As supporting evidence, the cruise line made public the results of a drift analysis and a photographic investigation they had commissioned.[10]
In April 2013, the Royal Gazette reported that the Bermuda Department of Maritime Administration had closed their official inquiry into the incident.[11] The Bermuda Police Service carried out the investigation. The Department of Public Prosecutions disclosed that the passengers who were material witnesses to the case made a statement that the boat they had seen from the Star Princess was not the same boat as the one recovered by Ecuadorean coast guard.
Ports of call[edit]
Star Princess currently sails out of Los Angeles to Hawaii in the winter season and to Alaska from Vancouver and Whitter during the summer season. Until Spring 2014, she sailed from Los Angeles to Hawaii, Tahiti & Samoa in the winter and from Seattle to Alaska during the summer. From 2014 to 2015, she sailed eleven-day Alaska cruises from San Francisco (replacing Grand Princess, which relocated to Seattle for that summer) and to Mexico and Hawaii during the winter season.[12]
Currently the Star Princess is sailing from Vancouver, BC, Canada to Alaska.

Hi Foamers,
Although that certain amount of test cases have been performed by Jovani in his Master Thesis, I am currently testing viscoelasticFluidFoam in 2-dimensional geometry. For this reason I have simulated so called "start-up flow" of Newtonian and UCM (Upper Convected Maxwell) fluid; it is a transient flow resulting from a sudden application of a spatially constant pressure gradient to a fluid initially at rest as well as a good example of time-dependent flow problem amenable to exact mathematical analysis. More can be found in this article:
A.S.R. Duarte, A.I.P. Miranda, P.J. Oliveira. Numerical and analytical modeling of unsteady viscoelatics flows: The start-up and pulsating test case problem. J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 154 (2008) 153-169
In this analysis I have used:
Can anyone (maybee Jovani or Hrvoje) take a look at this and make comments? I hope that I am doing something wrong rather than...
Enjoy the weekend,
hi hello
i am also very very interessted in non newtonian fluids, the work of Jovani is really great there are more than one or two modells
but to you thank you for this data of cases i will study them very intensiv and wirte back
good job :)
thanks for showing interest on this subject. Yes, thanks to Jovani (and I think also to Hrvoje) there are many viscoelastic models to be used in... "Imagination is the limit"!
I always (especially, when I am dealing with something new; i.e. OpenFoam, solvers) try to test and validate numerical code, numerical procedure, models... Therefore I think such a test case involving viscoelasticFluidFoam is of great importance not only for me but for everybody out there who is (or will) dealing with viscoelastic fluids!
Looking forward for your reply!
These validation / verification activities are excellent.
Unfortunately, the way many of the validation activities take place, it does not tell if it represents "Real Life" scenarios.
My team is currently working with the Viscoelastic solver. We are trying to see how well it predicts real life extrusion problems. We are actually working backwards from the product back to the die configuration to understand just how the model variables interact with the product. (This is a highly simplified summary.)
To date, we have not encountered any software that truly assists us in the design of complex die configurations. Software such as PolyFLOW, CompuPlast, etc.., have only been mildly effective. Much of it has to do with the proprietary and "closed" nature of the software. We are unable to truly correlate the results to the product. In sum, when the die gets on the floor, there is still lots of die modifications that take place.
Unfortunately, none of us have 1/2 the intelligence of those of you posting on this website. So what I can offer to the community is "shop floor" results of the experiments. I just hope that the information I provide is something that is useful for the development of the solvers.
If I am not mistaken, that is the whole point of OpenFOAM. Cost savings, cost avoidance, and continuous improvement.
Hello Primoz,
Sorry for the delay, I most often see the "Viscoelastic Fluid Flows using OpenFOAM The solver viscoelasticFluidFoam" because the advertise by email to replies. But let's to your problem:
Your case is well defined and for obtain the Newtonian behavior to UCM lambda zero (1e-8 s) case the only changes needed is in relaxationFactors and time step. relaxationFactors make the convergence easy but for unsteady cases this changes the transient solution response, then:
// taufirst 0.3;
For have convergence without relaxation you need make the time step (maxDeltaT) smaller, I think 1e-4 is enough.
The UCM is numerically complicated and psychically not good when compared with PTT, Giesekus, ... . When you simulate UCM lambda not zero problems can occurs, and is better to start with smaller elasticity cases before go on in a new stage.
Hey Jovani,
what a nice surprise :)! Thanks for your comments - I will consider them and I hope for the best. Will keep you (and other OF users) informed...
Wish U all the best,
It is my opinion that only after particular numerical code is well tested and validated (if possible) one should proceed with improving existing or developing new models (viscoelastic, turbulence, heat transfer...) to get to the nature as close as possible. And here I see the experiments as the indispensable tool - comparing numerical results for improved models with experimental one will tell us how good this new (better etc.) model is! Last but not least, if test and validation cases are performed carefully one will not have to question if the numerical code is performing well...
So, such a test and validation cases will not resolve "real life scenarios", but they will offer enough confidence in OpenFoam and I see this as useful and important contribution.

Hi Jovani,
good and bad news :)! I have followed your recommendations and here are the results (observations) for start-up flow in channel:
I have done the following numerical test - developing flow in a (2-dimensional) channel, uniform velocity and zero pressure gradient at the inlet, zero velocity gradient and zero pressure at outlet, etc. For relaxation time 0.1 (and higher) the following happened with pressure field results:

As UCM is a problematic model in the numerical point of view, this is not a surprise find cases witch the solution diverges. For 2D simulations exists a limit of De for UCM model and this limit depend of some subjects as is pointed in the article you mentioned and others too. Going up of this limit introduces instabilities problems not only on pressure-velocity coupling, but takes the problem as a whole to break up, and producing bad (wrong) results.
Using your geometry and your mesh the max. value of lambda without numeric problems is 0.5 s with adjusting some simulations parameters. Changing your mesh to get delta x / delta y bigger and making the dimensions in x bigger you can get a solution to lambda 1.25 s (and it is not a very good solution, the is a little oscillation). See the files.

Attachment 1426
We are working to get a method more stable that DEVSS and I believe this will be used to get better transient results too.
many thanks for your extensive explanation!
Dear Primoz
Hi Dear Primoz
My thesis is just studying this problem and ossilations.
Do you think that Jovani answer is persuasive?
After all, could you improved the results and convince yourself that OF is work correctly in this case?
I would like to know if you finally got a good comparison with the "start-up flow" of an Oldroyd-B fluid in a channel. I am trying to carry out the same simulations than you (but some years later) and I have some convergence problems.
Thanks in advance for any information.
Hello everyone,
I understand the nature of tau BC as it is a symmetric tensor of the total stress (elastic+solvent...correct me if I'm wrong here!).
In my problem (in which I use the single phase viscoelasticFluidFoam)I need to set boundary condtions on a free surface. Trying to model the problem as close as to reality I use on the same boundary the following BCs for p and U:
U=slip (shear free surface with no cross flow)
In the same manner I need to set the BC for tau. I have searched so far in the tutorials and found out that this BC can have the following types:
type fixedValue;
value uniform (0 0 0 0 0 0);
type zeroGradient;
In my case which is 2D some tensor elements of tau are a priori zero (since I put "empty" patches). From the rest elements, and since the boundary behaves as s free surface not all of them must be zero.
My question is: How can I let openFOAM calculate only specific elements of the tensor and let the rest be zero?? I tried so many many times the directionMixed BC but in vain. I would appreciate your support regarding this matter.

Animal rights vs. animal welfare in the veterinary world
"Which philosophy about animals most closely aligns with your own?"
This question was posed by DVM Newsmagazine, a vet industry news publication. The undisclosed number of veterinarians responding offered the following basic breakdown in views:
Animal Welfare: 78.1%
Animal Rights: 2.4%
Other: 12.7%
No response: 1.8%
Though I have no idea how many vets responded and to what degree statistical significance was achieved, the findings concur broadly with my personal experience: It's a very small group of vets that identifies with an animal rights agenda.
Why's that, you ask? Some of it has to do with knowing what it feels like to be a PeTA magnet when our vet schools and their programs are targeted for protest. Others among us can't abide the unforgiving anti-animal industry agenda of the rightists (especially those working within it). And still more of us equate animal rights with a degree of political radicalism we'd never consider aligning ourselves with.
And it's not just the violence and lawless behavior of groups like PeTA. It's the end game some of us also abhor: a complete break from the tradition of animal welfare as we know it—specifically as it relates to pets.
If you're wondering why this poll was conducted just last month, look no further than the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association (HSVMA). The HSVMA is the HSUS's new vet-geared group, created specifically to compete with the AVMA's milquetoast stance on many animal welfare issues. If nothing else, we can already credit the founding of this organization with renewed interest in discussing where we vets really stand on animal welfare issues.
Though polls like this more likely reflect what vets perceive to be the differences in welfare versus rights (with many vets who wouldn't think twice about castrating a pig without anesthesia possibly voting for welfare), the point is clear:
The vast majority of vets don't want to see the animal rights movement influencing our profession.
It also seems to this not-so-casual observer that an increasing number of us want to see reform in how vets influence animal welfare issues in this country.
We want to see reform in factory farming practices and traditional agriculture customs, which we view as out of step with how we treat companion animals. We want to see pets treated more fairly in shelter settings, breeding concerns and when it comes to obvious cruelty in general. But we don't want to abolish animal "use" in its entirety. We just want it done better—humanely, that is.
Leaving horses to languish unfed in fields due to financial neglect, allowing animals to die in mismanaged shelters at alarming rates, disbudding goats (dehorning younglings) and castrating pigs without pain relief or anesthesia. These are the issues that we care about. We wouldn't approve of these practices when it comes to our loved ones and our pet patients, so why would we permit it for the others?
Yet it's become increasingly obvious that the AVMA is not helping us achieve these goals, nor is it cognizant of the importance of veterinarians to help promote animal welfare imperatives in the US and the world at large.
Ultimately, this poll proves to me that the AVMA is outdated in its approach to many of the practices it tacitly permits and that it neglects the majority when it comes to basic welfare concerns. Though it supports companion animal welfare issues, it fails with respect to the agricultural ones.
Consequently, the AVMA now faces competition with the HSVMA, an organization that bills itself as the "moderate voice of vets interested in welfare"—but which clearly has a broader animal rights agenda in mind.
The AVMA need look no further than its majority base and right its large vs. small animal inconsistencies via real representation of its new, more enlightened constituents. Nothing less is at stake than the reputation of our profession and its role with respect to animal welfare as viewed by the mainstream US culture—not to mention the efficacy of animal welfare initiatives the world around.

If you're using a collection, then you can simply return a reference to the embedded data structure which can then be anything depending on how you want to implement it. Arrays have given me way more headaches in implementation than they need to, whereas the only downside of using a Container is that you need to throw in a few casts. Given that a number of IDEs will do this automatically for you when required, I'd vote for moving over to a Collections-based structure instead. > I also propose that the Component interface has one extra method: > > String getObjectName(); Why not just getName(), by the way?

Fights between teams, and partners
I've been reading a lot of posts on this forum coming down hard on fighters that don't want to fight against their training partners.
Some of the examples are Evans, Jones, Machida, Silva etc.
I can understand why some people may think that as professional athletes they should be forced to fight each other, however, I am curious to see how many people with this opinion actually train at an mma gym and with fighters that are their friends.
Personally I do train alongside many friends and fighters at my gym, and after years of blood, sweat and injuries, I would never step into the cage or ring against one of them.
The closeness of MMA is closer than that of many team sports due to the obstacles that you must overcome mentally and physically to pursue fighting.
This is not a game, this is not baseball or basketball,and if you are not mentally able to go into the fight 100% against ANY opponent, why should you?
So I am wondering, do YOU train, and what is your opinion?
I'd be willing to bet that the more successful fighters have no problem fighting their friends.
It's what they were BORN to do:)
Hard to think of an opponent for Silva aside from Vitor. I guess Shogun has been sorta calling him out.
Impossible to find one for GSP since his camp is lacking for quality welterweights. Outside of Condit there's not much competition I can think of.
GSp wouldn't turn down any fight at 170, friends or not. He just doesn't have any:)
Maybe I was wrong about GSP but Anderson Silva would defenetly not fight ppl out of his camp, pepole like Machida... When Machida was the LHW champ everyone wanted to see that fight and tbh i still do.
I might be more correct than I originally thought:thumb02:
I don't know. It is a reasonable thing to say 'unless your'e a fighter you don't know', but I am human being and I can relate both to fighting, cooperation and love.
Machida fought his brother. His brother. Frank says it would be an honour to fight Ken. I train Muay Thai but not at the intensity of a professional fighter. I would love to fight my instructors and fellow students.
This is martial arts. It's about the test and overcoming it. If you truly value your'e training partners you believe their test to be worth taking.
I think its the ethic of professionalism, not wanting to take away something (money, opportunity, status) from someone close, that leads to the wariness of fighting teammates.
I do not think this fits the martial arts ethic,however, wherein by fighting them, you give them something, and by not fighting them, you withhold your wisdom.
GSP at 170 has Sanchez and Condit at Jackson's
GSP at 185 has Akiyama and Marquardt
At Tri-star there is Rory MacDonald and Sean Pierson at 170,
i train mma in a gym along with my 2 best friends, they are like brothers, and we have fought each other and it was fun as hell!
my brother used to train with us and i spared hard with him many times and i really wouldnt mind fighting him either
at the end of the day, its just a fight...fighting to me is fun, i love kicking ass and getting my ass kicked, if a friend of mine is on the other end its just even better win or lose
i can understand ppl not wanting to fight their friends, but idk...i see fighting as a fun sport, not a negative thing, to fight my friend its as if we were going to play another sport together
its an awesome feeling...but i guess there are fighters that view fighting as a negative thing and purly a buisness thing, if they dont need to fight a friend they dont want to
i dont like it but i understand it
for the record i just dont like it if the 2 friends are in the same division and are both the top guys..like both have to fight for the #1 contender or if one becomes champ and the other is #1 contender
when its like AS and machida where both are in different weight classes then i really dont mind it

Must Visit
Located on the banks of the Ganges, Ahar is a small town in the Bulandshahar known for its ancient temples of Goddess Avantika and Lord Shiva. The temples draw devotees throughout the year, more specifically during the festivals of Shivratri and navratris.
Ahar is located on the banks of the river Ganga and traces its history to the Mahabharata period. There is a story in the epic which states that Duryodhana poisoned Bhima in order to kill him. He then threw Bhim into the Ganga River from where he floated to Ahar. The Nagvanshi rulers who ruled over Ahar took him out and cured him, after which Bhim returned to Hastinapur. Some coins belonging to the Nagvanshi period have been found here.

Ada Evening News, The (Newspaper) - January 17, 1962, Ada, Oklahoma The recent "state of the union" speech was packed with promising theories and panaceas.

He took no stand on key issues such as legislative re- apportionment, right to work and taxes, declaring he will issue statements on them starting next week.

Pushes Effort For Testing Ban WASHINGTON (AP) The United States plans a determined new effort in the next round of disarmament negotiations to get the Soviet Union to agree to a treaty banning nuclear weapons tests under an international in- spection system, officials said to- day. The United States will go ahead, meanwhile, with its program of underground test explosions, and the probability is that in the next couple 01 months President Ken- nedy will make a final decision j to conduct nuclear tests in the] atmosphere. Tests ravored Informants said today that the present trend of administration thinking is strongly in favor of at- mospheric tests aimed at improv- ing U.S. nuclear weapons per- formance and developing an anti- missile missile. The next round of disarmament negotiations is expected to open in Geneva March 14. The date and'place are tentative pending approval of the 18 nations which will participate in the conference under U.N. auspices. Dead End Nixon Has Clearer Field In California SACRAMENTO, Calif. J.

What does 'Retail Exclusive' mean?
A retail exclusive is an exclusive game (either Company or True exclusive), which was released in retail stores. They came with a case, disk, usually a booklet/manual, and usually at full retail price.
Why compare retail exclusives?
Some try to compare games in different ways if the results wind up suiting their purpose and backing any argument they're trying to make. These arguments are usually flawed in many ways. For example, some people will simply compare games vs. games and try to point out that a specific system has more total games, or more total games over a certain rating. They fail to mention that a lot of the extra games being compared could very likely be on other systems. For example, some people may include games such as Test Drive: Unlimited as an advantage for the 360 over the PS3.. even though Sony/PlayStation fans were able to play it on their PS2s or their PSP.
Also, while some PSN / XBLA games may be good on their own, they are usually more similar to an HD version of a PS1 game than to a retail 360/PS3 game. Attempting to use them in the same comparison as Mass Effect, Uncharted 2, God of War III, etc. leaves you looking a bit ridiculous. It really doesn't matter if you have 10,000 Peggles, Rez HDs, flOws, Geometry Wars, etc. when you're using them in comparisons which will be including Gran Turismo 5 and Halo: Reach.
What is a 'Company' exclusive?
A company exclusive is a game which is exclusive to a specific company's platforms. For example, the MLB: The Show franchise is exclusive to Sony Platforms and can be found on PS2, PS3, and PSP. If you don't have a PS3, you can still play it on another Sony platform. Likewise, you can play Mass Effect or Gears of War on a capable PC, which would be considered a neutral platform (since PS3 is also coming with some PS3/PC exclusive, such as FFXIV), since the majority are running a Microsoft Windows operating system.. but you could be playing them on a Sony or other brand's computer.
What is a 'True' exclusive?
A true exclusive is only available on one specific platform (with the exclusion of remakes). For example, you can only play Crackdown and Fable II on an Xbox 360, and you can only play Heavy Rain and Resistance: Fall of Man on a PlayStation 3.
Why 80% or greater?
While some might go by 70%+ or 75%+, I think most would agree that 80%+ usually means a great game. While you may not like certain 80%+ rated games, others out there who like a specific genre that you don't, may like the game. For example, I don't like RPGs too much, and wouldn't really consider buying them, but others would feel that same way about driving games or shooters, which I may like. While you can certainly find some good games rated below 80%, you start getting much more iffy. When you're talking low 70s, like 70 or 71.. that's very near high 60s, and I don't think you'll find too many people that will claim a game rated 68-69 is a great game. We can certainly add other comparisons at different percentages in the future, but for now, 80% is the quality barrier that we've chosen.
What is the difference between Sony vs. Microsoft and PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360?
Sony vs. Microsoft compares the Sony and Microsoft gaming consoles. For Sony, it includes PlayStation 2 games for the year between the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3's launches. It also includes PlayStation 2 games beyond PlayStation 3's launch, since Sony continued to support the PlayStation 2. Microsoft's comparisons would have included original Xbox games, but they ended their support for their original console as soon as the 360 launched. So it shows the games that PS2 owners could have been playing (such as God of War 2, FFXII, or MGS3:S) if they didn't buy a 360 at launch and stuck with just Sony consoles. PC is considered a neutral platform. It generally would not be considered a Microsoft platform, since many manufacturers build PCs. Games on Xboxs and PCs are, however, not counted against the Xbox when it comes to Company Exclusives, since the majority of PCs run a Microsoft operating system. Likewise, games coming out on PS3/PC, like Final Fantasy XIV, and DC Universe Online could be played on a Sony computer... and technically we are comparing by hardware, so while Microsoft fans would argue that PC should be considered a Microsoft platform, it's also true that Windows is software, not hardware. So that argument could be very harmful to Microsoft in these types of comparisons if you take that into consideration. We feel the most unbiased solution is to recognise both companies when it comes to PC, and make it a neutral platform.
PlayStation 3 vs. Xbox 360 only includes PS3 and 360 games in the comparisons, and does not include PS2 games, even if they were released in the same time frame.
Please be aware that we attempt to be as unbiased as possible with this page, but there are instances where a game may be borderline and a best judgment call is made. For example, with Ninja Gaiden (Xbox) vs. Ninja Gaiden Sigma (PS3), Ninja Gaiden 2 (360) vs. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (PS3), Star Ocean: The Last Hope (360) vs. Star Ocean: The Last Hope International (PS3); some people would consider these exclusive. We don't here, for the simple fact that they are very much the same game, with some improvements or extra content in the PS3 versions. Metal Gear Online (PS3), released by itself in retail stores in Japan, is not included separately on this listing, due to the fact that it also came on the Metal Gear Solid 4 disk. Also note that Modnation Racers is considered an exclusive, but not a true exclusive. Even though it is only on one console (PS3), it was also released on Sony's handheld (PSP).
Then you have other instances where we included borderline games. For example, God of War: Collection (PS3), which contains God of War (PS2) and God of War II (PS2), with higher resolution, faster frame-rate, trophies, etc. on a PS3 disk is considered an exclusive here, but not a true exclusive, whereas God of War II is still considered a true exclusive for the PS2. Also, to a lesser degree, Halo 3: ODST (360), which is somewhat similar to an expansion pack over Halo 3 (360), is included as a true exclusive, since it did have its own campaign and other improvements or extra content, including with its multiplayer.
If you notice any mistakes, have any points you what to discuss, or want to help expand the comparisons feel free to post on our forums: (Currently shut down due to excessive spam.)
Facts vs. Fanboys Forums
In the future, we will be looking to add PS2 vs. Xbox, as well as including GameRankings scores as an alternative comparison to Metacritic scores.
Information used in these comparisons is current as of June 10th, 2012.

Zack's Kernel News
Kernel News
Chronicler Zack Brown reports on the latest news, views, dilemmas, and developments within the Linux kernel community.
Don't Trust Firmware
Over the course of debugging something, Marcin Slusarz remarked that the problem looked like it might be an ACPI bug, to which Linus Torvalds replied:
Here's the #1 thing to keep in mind about firmware:
- firmware is *always* buggy.
It's that simple. Don't expect anything else. Firmware is written by people who have lost the will to live (why? Because they do firmware development for a living), and the only thing keeping them going is the drugs. And they're not the 'fun' kind of drugs. The end result is predictable. In their drug-induced haze, they make a mess.

Technology transforms GED tests
RUSSELL COUNTY, Va. - A test that allows people to further their education has been updated this year.
The General Educational Development test, commonly known as the GED test, is typically revamped every 10 years. This year, the test moved online.
It's not uncommon for the test to change, but up until now, it's always been taken on paper.
Kenneth Combs didn't finish high school, but the GED program gave him a second chance.
"I just wanted to make sure that I'd be able to go to college. I do have plans in the future," he said.
Josh Russell is 24. He needed the education for other reasons.
"Just to get a good job to support my family," Russell added on his desire to join the program.
The two landed at Southwest Virginia Adult Education in Russell County. They received a GED under its brand new format. It's all online.
Karen Gent has been teaching in the program for 10 years. She said the new program can be a test itself.
"If you're not tech savvy, if you don't have good keyboarding skills, then that's just another thing you have to work on and get ready for to just be able to take the test," Gent added.
It's meeting the digital demands of the workforce.
"We're in the 21st century workplace now, so the skills that you have to have to be successful today are definitely different from what they were 10 years ago," Gent said.
The new test can help those who have differing education needs.
"I think it was easier for me because i have a hard time concentrating when the teacher is talking, so it's kind of move at your own pace kind of thing when it's on the computers."
It can also give opportunities to those who take the chance.
"I'm going to major in forensic science and try to be a criminal investigator," Combs said.
The tests usually do have a cost. If you take the classes through a program like Southwest Virginia Adult Education, the classes are free.

From Globe University-Sioux Falls Service Learning Coordinator-Brandy Gruis:
The Fall Quarter is in full swing, along with that students are starting to become more involved with different service-learning projects in a number of classes. The end of October is just the beginning of the service-learning this quarter.
The first project in the Fall Quarter began in Global Citizenship. We had some students help the Washington Pavilion with their Spooky Science night at the Pavilion. Students dressed up and worked with different children in a variety of capacities while at this event.
October 26th is a big day for our Medical Assistant Program here at Globe University Sioux Falls. Students in classes such as Patient Care Sciences I and CMA Review are working with the National Kidney Foundation on their Kidney Early Evaluation Program. Students will be helping with the entire process from check-in to screening.
Although October is almost over, November proves to be even more involved with various service-learning projects. Students will be assisting with Blue Star Families Appreciation on November 12. This is an appreciation event sponsored by Active Generations as a thank you for those individual's with a family member on Active Duty.
November 19th, Our Vet Tech department is teaming up to host a Nail Trim and Dental Clinic at Your Pet Stop from 9:00-12:00am. New students and our more veteran students will be working together to host this clinic which is open and free to the public.
These are just a few projects that are happening at Globe University Sioux Falls. With each week more and more students are beginning work on their projects. Stay tuned to more details about service-learning throughout the Fall Quarter.

Title: Spanish tears blended with Italian
Pairing: Antonio/Romano/Lovino Spain/South Italy
Rating: T Rated
Language: English with Spanish and Italian words/sentences
Genre: Romance & Hurt/Comfort
Length: 748
Chapters: Oneshot
Summary: Antonio is sick of having Romano put him down every single day and decides to talk with the Italian, which ends in a huge argument. Spamano
Warning: Human name used for Antonio and nation name (Romano) for Lovino, boy x boy, OOC and lame writing.
Disclaimer: I do not own Axis Powers/World Series Hetalia (The webcomic, the manga or the anime). APH belongs to ©Hidekaz Himaruya. This is done for fan-purposes only and for no profit of any kind.
"Romano!" Antonio's angry voice echoed through the Spanish house as the owner himself darted after a very pissed Italian who desperately tried to escape the Spaniard, but was stopped as Antonio grasped his arm and stopped him, "Listen to me!"
Romano glared at his former boss and tried to pull his arm away, in vain, but that didn't stop his mouth from opening and demanding, "Lasciami andare, bastardo!" his voice almost cracked, but the pouty Italian managed to keep his face straight in front of the usually oblivious Spaniard.
"Amor," Antonio muttered and Romano looked at him, "sabes que no se," he stated, grabbing a hold of the Italian's other arm too, pushing him up against the wall behind them, "Escuchar, Romano …" when the younger nation looked away, his eyes focusing on everything but Antonio, that made the Spaniard loose his senses, "Look at me when I'm talking to you, South Italy!" he almost roared.
Romano, startled by the tone of voice from his former boss, looked at him again, this time with a glare that would have scared Antonio to death when Romano was a child, but now the Spaniard only held his face, better than Romano could have. Suddenly, tears glistened in the olive green eyes of Antonio and the younger nation immediately felt guilty.
The Spaniard opened his mouth, but first there came no words, until they practically fell from his lips, "I-I don't know how much more of this I can take!" his voice trembled as he spoke, "I've grown fond of you and I've tried everything to make you happy, amor!" Romano flinched when Antonio still called him 'love', "And yet, you treat me like mierda! Still … you never leave!"
Romano wanted to argue back, but never found the strength in his voice to do so.
"You're sending two messages, Romano!" Antonio continued his rant, "Do you want to be near me?" his voice cracked by the question and he focused on Romano's eyes, "Or … ¿quieres salir?" the second question almost broke his heart.
The Italian felt tears sting in his own eyes, but blinked them away. His voice was still nonexistent, but soon he found it, "Non …" he began, trying to find the right words, "Non lo so …"
Upon the respond from Romano, Antonio could practically feel his heart break again, "You don't … know?" his grip on the Italian was released and he suddenly began to pour his heart out, in Spanish, "Lo sabía todo el tiempo! Nunca una vez se preocupaba por mí! Todo lo que importa es mi tomates!" pulling his hair in frustration, the Spaniard hoped that Romano didn't know that much Spanish, "No debería haber caído en amor con usted …" was the last he mumbled.
"I …" Romano mumbled, while gazing at the ground, his hands forming into fists, "I care about you more than your stupid tomatoes, you idiota!" he suddenly screamed while looking into the Spaniard's eyes, "And I just mess things up anyway, so there's no reason to love me!"
Now it was Antonio's turn to be startled, "Romano …"
The silence between them started and neither of them said anything or moved, until Antonio suddenly walked up to the Italian, cupping his face in his hands to lift it up.
"Ti amo," he whispered, a sentence he knew well in Spanish, but also in Italian. The latter was the one he used. The Italian felt his body grow warm as he heard his native tongue being spoken from Antonio and their eyes met.
"No matter how many mistakes you do, I always will …" Antonio continued, his voice soft, gentle and loving. He couldn't take his eyes of the flushed Italian and he was sure that both of them could hear his heart beating so hard as it was, "Ti amo, mi Romano … Ti amo …" their lips met, ever so softly.
Romano felt his cheeks blossom by the touch of their lips, but the embarrassing feeling was outdone with the feeling of radiant love, amore, oozing the touch of soft lips. Damn you, bastardo … The Italian felt how his walls crumbled and tears fell with them and he threw his arms around the man he had loved for God knows how long and almost knocked them both to the ground.
Antonio's hands released Romano's cheeks and instead strong arms wrapped around the Italian's tiny frame and the Spaniard's own tears blended with Italian …

What is Emphysema?

Emphysema is a severe lung disease in which the tiny air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs become permanently damaged.

Normal, healthy lungs look like upside down branches of a tree with many thousands of tiny air sacs at the ends of the branches in bunches, like grapes.

Lungs with emphysema have fewer, larger sacs.

Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are two lung ailments that fall under umbrella of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is the term used for diagnosis today.

Key Facts About COPD

COPD is life-threatening and under-diagnosed.

COPD is irreversible, but can be slowed with treatment.

More than three million people died of COPD around the world in 2012. That accounted for six percent of all deaths that year.

The primary cause of COPD is tobacco smoke. Both smokers and non-smokers who breathe in secondhand smoke are at risk.

What Causes Emphysema?

While environmental pollution can cause emphysema, cigarette smoking is by far the most common cause. The chemicals in cigarette smoke damage the delicate walls of alveoli, ultimately breaking them down.

This process creates large air sacs that are less efficient at processing the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide because there is less surface area for this process to take place.

Damaged air sacs are also weaker in structure than normal healthy sacs and can collapse and trap air, making it much more difficult to take in fresh oxygen.

A person with emphysema may develop a barrel chest in which the distance from the chest to the back is more pronounced due to trapped air within the lungs.

This results in breathlessness and is why many people with emphysema must use supplemental bottled oxygen.

Most Common Symptoms of Emphysema

Shortness of breath (dyspnea) is the number one symptom of emphysema.

A chronic cough that may or may not be productive (producing sputum)

Wheezing

These symptoms can also be associated with emphysema:

Anxiety

Unintentional loss of weight

Feet and ankle swelling

Fatigue

Emphysema is a Disease That's Slow to Progress

Emphysema develops gradually over a period of many years, and often goes unnoticed until a person starts having difficulty with breathing on mild exertion. People often mistakenly attribute shortness of breath to being out of shape or maybe a little overweight. This is how emphysema usually presents itself to begin with however, so don't ignore this symptom if you have it. Check in with your doctor to find out the cause.

As emphysema advances, breathlessness will occur more frequently and not just during activity.

It is important to stop smoking as soon as possible. While the damage from emphysema is irreversible, the progression of this disease can be slowed if caught early enough. Lung function can even be improved to some extent, as well.

How Emphysema is Treated

Stop Smoking
The most important thing a person can who has been diagnosed with emphysema can do is to quit smoking immediately. Every cigarette smoked causes more damage to the lungs. In order to slow the disease's progression, smoking cessation is imperative.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Doctors often encourage regular exercise for people with emphysema. Pulmonary rehabilitation therapy helps emphysema patients build physical and respiratory stamina so that they can function at their best.

Oxygen Therapy
Oxygen deficiency is common with emphysema. External oxygen may be administered with a nose tube attached via a long tube to a bottle of oxygen to bring oxygen up to a comfortable breathing level.

Inhaler Therapy
Doctors might prescribe a number of bronchial dilators and anti-inflammatory medications to improve breathing and lung function.

10 Common Inhalers for COPD

Fluids and Mist Inhalers
People with emphysema develop bacterial lung infections more easily than people who don't have emphysema, and these infections can be life threatening. Maintaining fluids in the body and the occasional use of a mist inhaler can help prevent lung secretions from becoming mucus. Mucus in the lungs is an excellent breeding ground for bacterial infections.

Antibiotics
Doctors often prescribe antibiotics to clear up bacterial lung infections, which lungs damaged by emphysema are more prone to.

Surgical Intervention for Emphysema

Bullectomy
In some patients with emphysema, air sacs in the lungs have broken down into just a few, very large air sacs, known as bullae. These people may be good candidates for a bullectomy. This surgical procedure removes the bullae, allowing surrounding healthier lung tissue to expand and work more efficiently.

Lung Volume Reduction Surgery (LVRS)
The theory behind LVRS surgery is that reducing the lung size will pull open the airways and allow the breathing muscles to return to a more normal and comfortable position, making breathing easier.

***

Prevention is the best weapon against emphysema. If you smoke, quit now. The work it takes to recover from nicotine addiction is nothing compared to the misery you and your loved ones may be faced with if you don't.

Issued at 644 PM CDT Sun May 21 2017 Updated aviation discussion. && .SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Tuesday night) Issued at 157 PM CDT Sun May 21 2017 88D mosaic shows narrow ribbon of showers just to the east of the area, in vicinity of recently departed frontal system. Models all migrate surface High pressure from the Ozarks into/across the area tonight, en route to the Ohio valley tmrw. Nice cooler/drier air works across the region with the High, with 70s/50s becoming the norm the next couple days. The short term period ends with an evolving/developing upper long wave trof driving a cold front into the forecast picture by Tuesday night, with its attendant chance of showers/storms, appearing as early as Tuesday (pm/evening). It will ultimately bring a reinforcing shot of spring like cool air for the mid week period. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Sunday) Issued at 157 PM CDT Sun May 21 2017 Confidence in the long term portion of the forecast starts off higher than average with relatively good model agreement. Confidence drops to below average by next weekend as unknown mesoscale effects complicate an already uncertain synoptic scale pattern. Starting with Wednesday morning, an upper level low is forecast to be positioned over the Mid Mississippi Valley with the surface low and associated cold front just east of the region. Energy rotating around the upper low will interact with the instability beneath the colder air aloft to result in a continued chance of showers and a few thunderstorms on Wednesday--particularly in the afternoon. While a drying trend is expected from west to east Wednesday night, a small chance of showers may even linger into Thursday over far eastern portions of the area depending on how quickly the low departs. A return to mainly dry weather is anticipated Thursday into Friday as an upper level ridge builds east from the Plains. However, the dry pattern will likely be short lived as southwesterly flow develops on the west side of the ridge next weekend. Impulses of energy in the southwest flow will act on an increasingly humid air mass with a frontal boundary nearby to result in the potential for periodic thunderstorm complexes over the weekend. At this time, rather poor synoptic scale model agreement and the likely impact of unknown mesoscale interactions keeps confidence rather low beyond Friday. Even with the chance of thunderstorms, we anticipate a fair amount of dry time in between the raindrops. After what will likely be the coolest day of the week on Wednesday with highs in the mid to upper 60s, a warming trend is expected through the remainder of the week. In fact, highs Friday through Sunday are forecast in the lower 80s. Lows should moderate from around 50 Wednesday night into the 60s by the next weekend. && .AVIATION... Issued at 644 PM CDT Sun May 21 2017 Expect a dry air mass with northwesterly to westerly winds subsiding this evening and becoming variable in direction. The center of surface high pressure will be over our region by 12Z Mon, yielding cloudless skies. As it moves up the OH River valley Mon, light winds will turn to the south or southeast. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...None. MO...None. IN...None. KY...None. && $$ AVIATION...DB

Read Stuff, You Should: Wave Election?
Happy Birthday to Mike Starr, 64.
Right to the good stuff:
1. Is Georgia trending toward the Democrats? Not yet, or at least not enough yet to help them much. Ben Highton has the numbers.
2. Sarah Kliff on the good news in the Medicare actuary report: Per person spending may actually be going down.
3. While Philip Klein finds the (potential?) bad news lurking.
4. Jordan Ragusa looks at the VA funding bill compromise.
5. Jared Bernstein looks at the inflation/employment tradeoffs.
6. Nate Cohn doesn't see any Republican wave developing in 2014, so far. Remember: Republicans could easily take over the Senate just by winning in good Republican states, even without assistance from national tides.
7. The Cook Report's Jennifer Duffy has a good rundown on where the Senate elections sit right now.
