Samsung Beats Analyst Profit Expectations by 10%, Outsells Apple 2-to-1

And that's all without the Galaxy S IV even; Samsung is almost even with Apple in profitability
While reviewers were
generally enthusiastic, but a bit critical
of Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd.'s (
) hot new flagship phone --
the Galaxy S IV
-- the company has little to feel bad about currently. Even without the GSIV anchoring its Android tag team, Samsung
to crush rival Apple, Inc. (
) in unit sales and deliver a fiscal performance that blew past analyst estimates.
The high profit was a bit of a surprise --
a survey
of 10 analysts by UK-based
Financial Times
, a Pearson PLC unit (
), found an expectation of 8.0T won ($7.2B USD) in profit. A newer compilation
of 39 analysts' predictions showed an average expectation for 8.4T won ($7.6B USD) in profit.
Instead, Samsung delivered 8.8T won ($7.9B USD) profit, up over 50 percent from the 5.7T won ($5.1B USD) profit it
posted in the first calendar quarter of 2012
and 10 percent better than the early analyst estimates. The Android mobile division drove the big win. 6.51T won ($5.7B USD) of the profit -- nearly three-quarters -- came from the mobile unit. Total revenue came in at 52.87T won ($47.6B USD). These figures were in line with
Samsung's estimate
released near the start of the month.
After years of Apple fans and shareholders mocking Samsung as "less profitable", Samsung is almost even with Apple in profitability. Apple reported its first quarter results at the start of the week, announcing its
first YOY decline in profit
in a decade.
Apple has seen its momentum halted by the
death of its iconic leader Steven P. Jobs
(in 2011) and then by
disappointment over the iPhone 5 sales growth
and hardware. Google meanwhile has surged as Apple's court bid to ban Android stalled [
], and as its OEM partners pounced on Apple in terms of hardware offerings. Stock and profit for Apple are riding at recent lows. Apple's supporters point to new products and refreshes, optimistically -- but Samsung is boasting the same upcoming events (see:
Samsung Smart Watch
, for example).
Here's a quick recap on how the two companies are stacking up:
Samsung appears poised to potentially pass Apple in profit in Q2. And early indications show that if the Galaxy S IV has any problem it will be in being unable to keep up with wild demand.
The phone is launching in coming weeks on 327 mobile carriers in 155 countries, backed by a massive global advertising campaign that kicked off this week. In the U.S. Samsung has paired with top brick-and-mortar electronics retailer Best Buy Comp., Inc. (
) to set up "mini-stores" promoting the phone within Best Buy's retail locations.

According to
, the very high level of preorders have surprised even analysts, and indicate that Samsung may struggle to fulfill demand. That's a pretty good problem to have, though.
Samsung hopes to sell
390 million smartphones
this year.

You just have to laugh sometimes! I work two mornings each week, and this morning, I had forgotten to tell Hugh, the man that stays with William ("to help with the garden") something. So I phoned when I got to work - and William eventually answered the phone, sounding very nervous. Him: "Er, uh he-helloo? who is it?" Me: "Hi love, it's Alice. I need to talk to Hugh. Can you call him?" Him: "Alice is not here now, sorry." Me: "No, William, This is me!" William: "What? Is that you? Well, where are you?" Me: "I'm at work. I need to talk to Hugh. Can you call him?" Him: "You need to talk to you?" Me: "HUGH! Him: "Oh Hugh - where is he? Is he outside? I'll go look!" - and eventually went and got him!
I wish the guy's name was Tom! Mind you, William doesn't know his name anyway - he never has. He usually calls him whatever comes into his head!

A must try!
I having bought my espresso beans from Eric and his staff for years. The coffee is extremely fresh, typically roasted with days of purchase. It produce sweet, complex espresso with loads of crema. The staff are consistently welcoming and pleasant.they also make delicious drinks for in-house consumption.
Rek Lee What evidence do have to prove "homeless" and "drug addict"? I could say that about you right here very easily, may be true, may be false, who knows? And what did you do when told you were not welcome? Anything? Or just post this comment?
Homeless drug addicts running around the parking lot saying their security and we weren't welcome at kairos That its private church/cult property
Everyone ….please note the dates that these reviews were posted!
This delightful little neighborhood cafe and coffee house has changed ownership in the last two years and deserves a fair shot at a new start! We have been there at least three times and have enjoyed each visit. The owner is a very pleasant woman and her staff is kind, efficient, helpful and very adept at making your time there pleasant and memorable.
Please treat yourself and give them a try! It is very enjoyable and relaxing.
Fremont County's best coffee! I love the service and the owners are great! I chose to pay more for a cup of coffee at the Coyote Coffee Den rather than the local gas station! The Breakfast Burritos are the best in the County also!
I love this place, they are the best for any thing you want to drink. Go there all the time. They are all so nice and I get just what I want.
Their spicy coconut shrimp soup is a must every time.
Great espresso and excellent service!
Great atmosphere and even better coffee. Now if we can get another batch of two Africas from Switchback next door.
Cool little hangout! Great coffee and staff. Very friendly. Cool Friday running "club". Reduced priced coffee after a run...not too shabby!
Cool, hip coffee shop that's a wonderful alternative to you know who.
Coffee is great. My pecan pie was right out of the oven, warm, sweet and gooey.
Order at counter, take your selection to a table. Outside seating too. Not pricey.
Yard sale coffee cups and flatware, funky old metal lawn chairs from the 1940s, in a renovated gas station ... recycling and re-purposing at its best.
Girl at the counter was friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Free Wi-Fi and parking.
In the Old North End Neighborhood (ONEN), in the BON Shopping Center, at corner of Jackson and Wahsatch, a few blocks from Penrose Hospital just off N. Nevada Ave.
Closes at 3PM most days. I'll be going back.
new, clean, and warm inside. I ordered a vanilla latte which was steamed by the barista, not a machine, which I prefer. They have a conference room for rent which I plan to use for casual meetings with new clients. I would recommend this cafe to friends.
I had lunch at Fifty Fifty Coffee House last month. The Pressed Turkey Sandwich was delicious and the Fifty Fifty Iced Coffee is addictive (I had 2). The service was also great, and I loved the atmosphere. I will be back.
A really neat place, worth the visit. Plenty of free street parking. Excellent food and coffee, low key, quiet, friendly. A hidden gem in the old north end.
Great cup of - Carmel Macchiato w/ extra foam was the best. I asked for Extra foam & I got what I wanted! Yum! (add to that the Cheese Danish .....)
The above reviews crack me up, some rang true BUT... It's NOW NEW OWNERS.
So give it another try and I promise you won't be disappointed.
Better than ever now...and it has always been good!
Great sandwiches & coffee! ARTISTS' RECEPTION SUNDAY, DEC. 8 from 6:15-8:15 for DIANE & PHIL VALLEJO ARTWORKS
Great shop love the smoothies !

Spoiling the sports
Yes, it is true ... the Cats are victorious, winning their first premiership in 44 years and by a record grand final margin.
Photo: Vince Caligiuri
Web links
- SLIDESHOW The Sheedy years
Accomplishments were plentiful, but, regrettably, so too were the disappointments, writes Warwick Green.
It was Earl Warren, the influential chief justice of the US Supreme Court, who famously told Sports Illustrated magazine: "I always turn to the sports section first. The sports section records people's accomplishments; the front page nothing but man's failures.
"Granted, that celebrated quote was delivered almost 40 years ago, in a nation that was having a bit of a rough trot keeping assassins away from various front-page types. But it does recall a more innocent sporting reality than the one we've experienced in 2007.
In trawling the big sporting headlines of the past 12 months, you're likely to find as many stories about failure as accomplishment. Consider AFL football, which, after all, has a tendency to snaffle the spotlight in Victoria. Which was the more significant story this year? Geelong conquering everything in its path - grand finals, awards nights, history, handbags and Sam Newman's ramblings - or the careening and destructive juggernaut that was the West Coast illegals?
It's hard to imagine a more glorious football season than that enjoyed by the Cats. They began the year under pressure after a thorough internal review over the summer, but went undefeated for 15 matches mid-season, which ranks among the top 10 winning streaks in the AFL. sceptics remained, even when Geelong had nine players named in the All-Australian team, had Jimmy Bartel voted Brownlow medallist and won the VFL flag. On the last Saturday of September, the Cats defeated Port Adelaide by a record 119 points and won the premiership with flawlessly attractive football. To cap off the fairytale, Steve Johnson, suspended by his peers for the opening five rounds as punishment for getting on the summer wine, won the Norm Smith Medal for best afield in the grand final.
In contrast to Geelong's Midas touch, Coast had the greatest premiership hangover known to mankind. Former captain Ben Cousins and his drug problems were central to the drama. In the past 12 months he has been suspended, rehabilitated, arrested, deregistered, hospitalised and banned. There were front-page photographs of him in the airport departure lounge, at the baggage carousel, stripped to the waist (with and without gothic tattoo), producing a blinder in his return match, and pinging a hamstring in the first week of the finals. Even clothes shopping.
But to paraphrase Paul Keating, West Coast was not simply "all tip and no iceberg". Eagles also had to contend with controversies involving Chad Fletcher (flatlining), Daniel Kerr (taxi-driver assault; secret police tapes), Adam Selwood (tattoo abuse), Daniel Chick (drugs-carrying passenger), Michael Braun (an audible obscenity; Jason Akermanis accusations) and the premature death of former champion Chris Mainwaring.
Oh, and possibly the biggest Eagles story of them all, captain Chris Judd demanding to be traded to a club in his native Melbourne. A premiership captain going to another club? That's a history-making moment, in the same league as the defections of Barassi, Jesaulenko and Carey. It was great news for Carlton, which eventually won Judd's blessing. But even the Blues had moments they'd rather forget this year, sacking their coach and captain, and watching as their new billionaire president became embroiled in an illegal price-fixing case.
On the subject of departing coaches, the highest-profile of the four men tiptoed this season was Kevin Sheedy, overseer of four Essendon premierships in the past 27 years. However, it was not all grim news at Windy Hill, with Adam Ramanauskas returning to senior football after two bouts of cancer and a knee reconstruction.
But it's not just the AFL and Jedi Knights who have to resist the forces of the dark side. The highlight of the cricket calendar came when Australia retained the World Cup in the West Indies. Some would say the final against Sri Lanka was played in the sizeable shadow of the "murder investigation" into Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer's death, except that by the time those farcical final overs were bowled in Barbados, there was not enough light to actually cast a shadow.
In Test cricket, Australia completed a 5-0 sweep in January to regain the Ashes, and bid farewell to three greats in Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Justin Langer.
Yet, disappointingly, much of the focus this year has involved controversies about racism, Muthiah Muralidaran's bowling action, umpire Darrell Hair and even the banning of the Mexican wave.
This was undoubtedly a historic year for Australian horse racing. The most dramatic days came in the last week of winter, with the detection of equine influenza in NSW prompting the cancellation of that state's spring carnival, and a range of preventative measures in Victoria involving quarantine, vaccination and travelling restrictions.
The outbreak was contained, and the Melbourne carnival went on. On the first Tuesday in November, Efficient became the first Australian-bred horse to win the Melbourne Cup since 1999, and the first horse since Phar Lap in 1930 to salute 12 months after winning the Derby.
There was drama overseas, too.
In March, Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Chris Munce was jailed in Hong Kong for accepting money in exchange for tips, and in June, sprinters Miss Andretti (winner of the Kings Stand Stakes) and Takeover Target (second in the Golden Jubilee Stakes continued the prominent Australian flavour at Royal Ascot in recent British summers.
It was a similar story of black and white in other sports. In cycling, Cadel Evans was just 23 seconds off winning the Tour de France, with his second placing the best overall result by an Australian. Unfortunately, the tour's romance was again diminished by a drugs cloud - key riders pulled out of the 2007 event because of drugs issues, while Spaniard Oscar Pereiro received the 2006 winner's jersey 15 months after American Floyd Landis tested positive to testosterone.
Drugs also tainted a stellar year in athletics. This should be primarily remembered as the year Australia's Jana Rawlinson won her second world 400 metres hurdles title, remarkably just eight months after giving birth to her son, Cornelis. Or because Victoria's Nathan Deakes established a record for whispering the loudest (race walking) in the 50km event at the world championships. Or for the benchmarks set in the men's 100 metres (Asafa Powell's 9. 74 seconds) and marathon (Haile Gebrselassie's 2hr 4mins 26s). Instead, it will go down as the year sprinter Marion Jones sobbed for forgiveness after admitting she used steroids in the months leading up to her three Olympic gold medals at Sydney 2000.
In March, Melbourne hosted the world swimming championships, where we marvelled at the feats of American Michael Phelps (seven golds, four world records) and Australia's Libby Lenton (five golds). There were other home-grown champions in Leisel Jones and Jessicah Schipper. So why did swimming make it on to the current affairs shows? Because hidden cameras had showed a Ukrainian coach shoving around his daughter. At least there were no drug scandals. That's if you exclude the investigation into a dodgy Ian Thorpe urine sample (he was later cleared), and a claim by Australia's Elka Graham that she was offered drugs by another elite swimmer in the lead-up to the Athens Olympics.
Soccer enjoyed a post-World Cup boom, with a blockbuster crowd watching Melbourne Victory stick six unanswered goals past Adelaide in the A-League final. Australia's much-anticipated push into Asia stumbled, though, with the Socceroos managing a lone Asian Cup win against Thailand, before being knocked out in a quarter-final penalty shootout against Japan.
The rugby codes continued to make ground in Victoria, but had their struggles elsewhere. The Melbourne Storm finished three games clear on the National Rugby League ladder, before thumping Manly in the grand final. Most of the other big league stories of the year featured men behaving badly, culminating in possibly the greatest player to pull on a boot, Andrew Johns, being sprung with an ecstasy tablet in his pocket while in London. He subsequently spoke frankly about using drugs throughout his career as he dealt with the massive psychological pressures at the highest level.
Nearly 80,000 crammed into the MCG in June to watch the Wallabies upset the All Blacks, and there was enthusiasm aplenty when the Melbourne Rebels reached the final of the inaugural Australian Rugby Championship. This was somewhat counterbalanced by Australia's lacklustre showing at the World Cup, eliminated by England in the quarter-finals of a tournament that was universally panned for its unimaginative play.
The rugby union year ended with a former All Black (Robbie Deans) being appointed coach of the Wallabies.
Could it simply be that the media are more cynical than they were in Earl Warren's day, more determined to find failure and vulnerability in the sporting sphere? After all, there were some truly joyous accomplishments. Casey Stoner, essentially a skinny, smiling kid from the bush, fulfilled a boyhood dream by winning the MotoGP world title. Australia's world champion female basketballers continued to dominate, with Lauren Jackson voted Most Valuable Player in the elite Women's National Basketball Association, and Penny Taylor part of the Phoenix team that won the title.
Our netball team defeated New Zealand on its own heap to win the world championships final; Australia has now won nine of the 12 titles contested since 1963.
Queensland surfer Mick Fanning became the first Australian to win the men's world title since 1999, with Stephanie Gilmore claiming the women's crown. Sydney triathlete Chris McCormack bettered all-comers when he swam 3.8km, cycled 180km and then ran a marathon through lava fields to win the famed Hawaiian Ironman.
It is still possible to be inspired by sport. Delve beyond the boofhead footballers, the drug cheats and the sniffling horses and there are numerous Australians who have proved themselves the best in the world.
Kurt Fearnley was born with the lower part of his spine missing. As a kid, his wheelchair was too unwieldy for chasing rabbits around the dusty paddocks near his home in central NSW, so he crawled, sometimes for kilometres, to keep up with the other boys. One day they stirred up a bees' nest. The other kids bolted, Fearnley was badly stung.
On Melbourne Cup weekend, Fearnley was first across the line in the New York marathon, his 10th victory - from 11 races spanning five continents - for the year.
Sometimes the failures simply put the accomplishments into perspective.

Vermiculture composting (Vermicomposting) is the act of creating rich, organic humus for your garden or lawn by allowing red worms to help in the decomposition process. The resulting castings enrich soil by improving texture, increasing nitrogen, trace minerals, and natural growth hormones from the worms themselves.
In this article I will discuss how to get the absolute most out of small scale, indoor vermicomposting without expensive or complicated equipment. You probably already have most of the tools you'll need to get started.
Suggested Materials and Tools for Vermicomposting
- shovel
- drill
- 1/4″ drill bit
- drill mounted paint mixer (optional)
- 18 gallon or larger rubber tub
- several 3.5, 5, or 6 gallon buckets with lids, or a few 10 gallon rubber tubs with lids
- Instructions to make castings harvester + tools and materials (1/8 inch screen) http://whatcom.wsu.edu/ag/compost/pdfs/LowCostWormCastingHarvester.pdf
- litmus paper or pH reader
- soil moisture meter (optional)
- water proof thermometer
- worms
- bedding material
- food (mostly waste food from your kitchen)
- agricultural lime (possibly)
- small fan
Vermicomposting Step One: Choose Your Worm
The most popular species for composting are Eisenia fetida, or simply the "red worm" or "red wiggler" although their coloring is considered brown with buff bands. They are often mistaken for and even found with Eisenia andrei whose coloring is more red, but is of about the same size. Both worms perform best at 77ᵒ Fahrenheit and will tolerate temperatures from 32-95ᵒ Fahrenheit, with moisture levels at about 80-85%.
Eudrilus eugeniae (African Night crawler) is my personal favorite for indoor vermicomposting. It is the fastest compost turner and reproducer of all three species. For optimum performance it needs to stay between 60-86ᵒ Fahrenheit, moisture 80%. It can tolerate temperatures down to 40ᵒ or so.
No matter which worm you choose, you'll want one pound of worms for each square foot of compost/bedding. A 3.5 gallon bucket is about 1 square foot.
Vermicomposting Step Two: Choose Your Bins
"Flow through" bins are popular and there are a multitude of commercial bins and do-it-yourself instructions available. Personally I prefer simpler bins, for a couple of reasons. Flow through bins create conditions where it is easier for anaerobic bacteria to get a foot-hold and proliferate. If anaerobic bacteria take over the bin it will stink and your worms will be sickly if not dead. At this point your bin will have to be cleaned thoroughly, and it can be a real pain, depending on the size and extravagance of the bin.
The secret to happy and healthy worms is simple:
- fresh bedding
- aeration
- correct amount of food
- frequent casting harvests
- thorough, frequent bin cleaning
Although worms do not seem to mind living in close proximity with one another, eventually when kept in the same dirty bin for too long, their castings and other waste materials start to add up. That's not healthy–no one wants to live in their own waste material. That's why I advocate frequent casting harvests and bin cleanings.
The Bins I Use
I recommend 3.5 (pictured below), 5 or 6 gallon plastic buckets or at largest, 10 gallon rubber totes. Several small bins are preferable to one large bin because of maneuverability. A 3.5 gallon bucket filled with compost and one pound of worms will weigh between 15 and 20 pounds.
Note the rows of holes below the bin's rim. Ventilation is very important to your worms so only fill the bin to the bottom row of ventilation holes. I like to use lids on my bins to prevent escapees, making the ventilation holes even more important.
Vermicomposting Step Three: Choose Your Bedding
The best bedding is "fine screened leaf compost" and can be found at your local wood and leaf recyclers. Towards spring they usually run out so in the autumn, I take our truck down and get couple yards, then shovel it onto a tarp outside and cover with more tarps. Tarping is important if you live in a climate with a lot of precipitation.
If you make your own leaf/lawn compost, it should work great as long as the compost is past the thermophilic stage when you use it for your worms.
To make leaf compost go further, mix it about 1:2 or even 1:1 with coconut coir. Coconut coir is sometimes processed in salt water so look for garden grade coir. Coir is a great carbon source, absorbs and retains moisture really well, and helps fluff your compost making the bins lighter and easier to handle.
Other fillers:
- shredded news/office paper (black ink only)
- cardboard
- napkins
- paper towels
- fast food cups
- paper plates
- coffee/coffee filters
- used loose tea/teabags
Make sure these are all chopped or shredded really well as some of them take longer to decompose than leaf litter.
What I Don't Use For Bedding
- Manure
- because it has to be aged properly to be safe for your worms–fresh manure is too "hot" and will kill the worms
- might contain de-worming medications which will kill your worms
- even after it has aged, it still has an odor and I don't want that in my basement
- E-coli and other specific bacterial loads are too high which disqualifies the worm castings for organic certification
- castings may retain odor of the manure
- Peat Moss is
- too acidic
- too expensive
- has questionable renewability status
Step Four: Learn The Four Parameters
The four parameters are Moisture, Temperature, Food and pH.
- hydrate both your leaf compost and coconut coir to a moisture level of about 80-85%
- squeeze test: squeeze a handful of the compost as hard as you can, it should just begin to want to drip, but not quite
- soil moisture meter, widely available online or at nurseries
- bring the compost you intend to use for bedding inside the night before to warm up.
- Use a thermometer to monitor temperature in the bins until you get a feel for what external temperature is ideal for your particular set up. For our set up, the room temperature is kept at about 65ᵒ in the winter and 72ᵒ in the summer.
Recommended Food
- fruit waste; peels, cores leftovers
- vegetable waste; peels, cores, leftovers
- limited grains are not only okay, but good for them for the protein content
Foods Not Recommended
- meat
- dairy
- too many grains
- pet feces
- fresh manure
- dead bodies
- zombies
Mary Appelhof (deceased) writes in her book Worms Eat My Garbage about burying small amounts of leftover meat on the bone with no ill effects.
Chop the food very small, or even puree it in a blender. For each 3 to 4 gallons of compost add about 1-1.5 cups of chopped or blended vegetable/fruit matter, and a couple tablespoons of ground grains. Mix compost and food together really well in your 18 gallon rubber tub. Using a drill and paint mixer for this will speed up the mixing process.
The pH needs to be between 5.6 and 7.0, the closer to 7.0 the better.
To raise the pH:
- Add 1 tablespoon of agricultural lime per 3-4 gallons of food/compost
- Mix well (add some water if lime is not incorporating into compost well–if you can still see the lime)
- Let sit for 15 minutes
- Take the pH again
- Continue adding lime at that rate until the desired pH is reached
In the unlikely event that you need to lower your pH use:
- peat moss
- coffee grounds
- whole wheat flour
- cornmeal
If those don't work, mince or puree citrus fruit and add about a tablespoon per 5 gallons compost, incorporate really well into the compost, and add a bit of water. Check the pH and continue adjusting accordingly.
Vermicomposting Step Five: Putting It All Together
- Fill bins with compost/feed to ventilation holes – do not to tamp it down.
- Add 1 pound of worms for each 3.5 gallons compost.
- Put the water proof thermometer in one of the bins.
- Put the lids on the bins.
- Set fan on low and aim it for best circulation.
- After 24 hours, check the worms.
You will always have a few escapees, but if most or all of them are trying to escape, you know you have a problem. Double check:
- pH
- inside bucket temperature
- moisture levels
Adjust parameters accordingly. Note: if inside bucket temp is too high often your pH is too low.
Vermicomposting Step Six: Harvesting The Black Gold
In 1.5-2 weeks, the worms will be out of food and your bin should be about 1/4 – 1/3 full of castings. There are a couple of ways to go about harvesting, depending on how pure you want your castings.
Collecting Worm Castings – Method 1:
- Dump entire contents of bin onto a well lit surface.
- While waiting for the worms to move to the bottom of the pile, hose down and scrub bins with a cleaning brush, taking special care to clean the vent holes.
- Separate castings/compost from worms by hand–add product to your finished compost stash or your garden.
- Re-bed your worms into their clean bins.
Collecting Worm Castings – Method 2:
Use 1/8″ screen (hardware cloth) to harvest a purer product. I really like the instructions for the harvester referenced above, but if you find something you like better, by all means try it and let us know how it goes. Remember to clean bins before re-bedding worms.
Whichever method you choose, after a few harvests, you will need to weigh your worms. More than likely you will have gained some worms, but if there are less than what you put in to begin with, you'll need to do some trouble shooting.

DENVER, Colo.--Bakersfield dropped the 2013 men's soccer season opener to Denver 4-0 Sunday night.
Blair Jeralds and Zach Bolden scored goals in a three-minute span in the first half as the Pioneers took a 2-0 lead into halftime. Cole Chapelski converted a penalty kick for Denver in the 51st minute. Jack Henderson completed the scoring in the 83rd minute for the Pioneers. Denver improves to 1-1 on the season.
"We started five players that didn't start last year and it will take some time," said Bakersfield head coach Simon Tobin. "We played poorly and Denver played well."
The Roadrunners begin a swing through Northern California Friday when Bakersfield travels to UC Davis for a 7 p.m. tilt.

The Killeen City Council discussed its plans to use graywater — used for watering plants — to irrigate the city's golf course, and officials hope to pull the trigger on the plan soon.
Scott Osburn, deputy city attorney for public works, said the purpose of the project is, in essence, authorization from the state for a wastewater treatment plant to directly and beneficially use treated effluent for purposes of irrigation or industrial cooling water.
Osburn said the first step in the process to completing the project is to reach an agreement between the city and the water district detailing the outlines of the project for the reuse system.
Estimated cost comparisons for the reusable water project are 18-19 cents per 1,000 gallons for graywater as opposed to 61-62 cents per 1,000 gallons of potable water.
"It's substantially cheaper to make use of (reusable) water," Osburn told the council in its Tuesday night workshop meeting.
He said the golf course uses between 400,000 and 500,000 gallons of water per day.
The project will also decrease the city's water costs and the demand on the Belton Lake treatment facility.
Jerry Atkinson, general manager of Bell County Water Control and Improvement District No. 1, said graywater does go through some treatment. Chlorine is added to the water and it is tested to check for bacteria before the chlorine is removed; then the water is sent down the pipe to irrigate the golf course.
He said the water is safe for contact but it isn't recommended that it be consumed.
City Manager Glenn Morrison said it is the city's intent to move forward with the project as quickly as possible.
"We agree it's a great project and a new opportunity for us," he said. "The best thing is it puts that treated capacity back into our system."
Mayor Dan Corbin said every day that the project isn't moving forward it's costing the city money.
"Let's get ready to pull the trigger next week," Corbin said.
The council is expected to take action at Tuesday's regular meeting.

text: The recently re-released 1935 comedy The Whole Town's Talking is an entertaining oddity: Directed by John Ford a few years before hitting his stride, the film stars Edward G. Robinson in a dual role as a meek clerk and the vicious gangster he resembles. Still trying to shake being typecast as an underworld type after a string of successful gangster roles, Robinson used The Whole Town's Talking as an opportunity to both give the public what it wanted and establish that he could work outside the parameters established for him. Jean Arthur (Mr. Smith Goes To Washington) also delivers a star-making performance as the fast-talking, devil-may-care career girl who captures the meek Robinson's heart. Ford is probably the last director who should be tackling a fast-paced urban comedy, but the film works best when he sticks closest to that format. Once Arthur disappears and it becomes more of a gangster film, things get bogged down. Nevertheless, Robinson is a delight, as usual, in both roles, and slight as it may be, The Whole Town's Talking is a lot of fun.

Free trade deal is Latham's toughest test yet
Page Tools
The US Congress has now given Mark Latham the power to decide the shape of Australia's trade system for the next 20 years or more.
It is a matter that will touch almost every sector of the Australian economy. It will influence Australia's prosperity, its opportunities for growth, and its geostrategic positioning.
It is the biggest real-world test in Latham's six months as Labor leader and is the most important question of national interest he has yet faced.
Now that both houses of the US Congress have passed legislation to enable the proposed free trade agreement with Australia, the fate of the deal rests squarely with Latham.
The Howard Government, which negotiated the deal, is pressing him to let it pass in the Australian Senate. The minor parties in the Senate are staunchly opposed.
So the decision falls to Labor. Latham has suspended judgement until he has seen the full details but he has expressed scepticism.
Unhelpfully, the Prime Minister has taken to taunting Latham about it: "We have a once in a generation opportunity and we should grab it with both hands," he said yesterday.
"I cannot, for the life of me, understand why the Labor Party continues to dither."
John Howard knows exactly why. The Government has not yet given Labor the full detail of how the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme would be affected by the free trade agreement (FTA).
Latham is absolutely right to take his time and get it right. If he turns it down, the opportunity will be lost for many years, perhaps permanently.
It is a tricky political decision for Latham. Some 40 per cent of his caucus is opposed to the deal. Much of this opposition is based on the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union campaign, which argues that the agreement would brutalise the manufacturing industry.
No doubt there would be some damage, but also some opportunity.
Toyota pointed out this week that the FTA would create new export opportunities for its Australian plant.
We know that trade, unlike defence, is not a zero-sum game. Both parties can benefit from mutual exchange in a free market.
And some of the Labor resistance is an ideological and political reaction against George Bush's America.
But Latham knows that trade is crucial to national growth. We know that the opening of the Australian economy over the past 20 years has been one of the central reasons for the country's growth and resilience.
And Latham knows that this is not a decision in isolation. If Australia stands still, the rest of the world will not.

HEREFORD Dynamix Club have enjoyed another trophy bonanza at the regional Trampoline and DMT competition in Walsall.
"This was our first entry into a double mini-trampoline competition since we were able to buy essential equipment funded through the National Lottery," said head coach Sam Board.
"Double mini-trampoline is like a combination of athletics, trampolining and gymnastics," she explained.
"Competitors sprint down a carpeted track and hurdle on to the apparatus before performing somersaults with the same precision required on a trampoline.
"The only difference is that gymnasts have to land on a trampoline bed less than a quarter the size of a trampoline, before performing a dismount on to a landing mat."
Eight Dynamix members tried the sport for the first time, competing as individuals and also forming two teams.
The two teams both achieved first position and there was plenty of success for individuals, too.
Hayley Morgan won the over-15 category with Emily Harding in second place and Anna Inglis, third.
In the under-15 section Lucy Griffin finished third and was followed in succeeding places by Jemma Morgan, Megan Corrick, Lizzy Harding and Shannon O'Leary.
Dynamix collected more silverware in the trampoline competition, returning with 12 further trophies.
Grade 'I' competitors Liam Cotterrell (second), Anja Scott (third) and Emily Godsall (sixth) all did well in the under-13 competition, forming a team which took the top prize in their first trampoline competition while, at under-15, Abigail Godsall came second and Josephine Franklin, eighth.
"Our youngest competitor, seven-year-old Emily Potter, competed in the under-11 grade 'H' and performed two beautiful routines, putting her in first position and enabling her to move up a grade," said Board.Liberty Jones (second), Aimee Slater (third) and Rebecca Board (fifth) came first in the team competition and also qualified to move up a grade.
Marcus Carey Powell (first in grade 'H'), Catherine Sheridan (first in grade 'F') and Elizabeth Harding (first in grade 'E') also reached the qualification scores.
"A big thank you to our volunteer officials who gave up their day to judge, record and marshall," added Board.

The Office of Ordnance Research (OOR), U.S. Army, a Class II military institution, established offices on the Duke University campus in June 1951. Marcus E. Hobbs, Chairman of the Department of Chemistry, served as acting chief scientist until Tomas J. Killian took over in a permanent capacity. Hobbs was instrumental in developing the "skeleton of the organization" which continued throughout the life of the organization with only minor adjustments. The organization was divided into four main divisions chemistry, mathematics, engineering, and physics. Scientists to fill the top slots were drawn primarily from Duke University, with others from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, North Carolina State, and Virginia Polytech.
OOR first occupied the Hanes Mansion, but after 6 years, the burgeoning Office had outgrown the available space. In December 1958, OOR moved into a new building that was built for them on the Duke campus north of the School of Engineering. The OOR entered a lease arrangement with the University for the space helping to cover the cost of construction.
On January 16, 1961 the OOR ceased to exist and was instead re-designated as the Army Research Office-Durham (AROD) under the command of the Chief, Research and Development.
The 1960s and 1970s saw a weakening in the working relationship between the military and the scientific communities. In the spring of 1975 ARO left the Duke campus and moved to the Research Triangle Park ten miles southeast of Durham.
Collection contains materials pertaining to the mission and organization of the U.S. Army Office of Ordinance Research, the forerunner of the Army Research Office-Durham (AROD). Materials include summaries of the activities of the Duke/AROD coordination office for the fiscal years 1966, 1969-1971, and a scrapbook dated 1959. The scrapbook contains photographs of Duke officials, Ordnance office chiefs, various dedication events and ceremonies, event guest lists, official luncheons, and RTP exhibit, all from 1959. The materials in the collection span the years 1957-1982.

After all she's done for you, having just one day devoted to your mother just doesn't seem like enough. That's why you may feel inclined to shower her with expensive gifts and outings. But think about it – would your mother really want you taking out a second mortgage on your home for just one day? Didn't she teach you better than that? Here are some ideas on how you can make your mother feel like the special woman that she is without going broke this Sunday.
Stay away from the crowded restaurants and instead stay home and cook your mother her favorite meal! You will be able to enjoy a nice quiet conversation over delicious food made with your secret ingredient – love. Best of all, you won't be rushed out to make way for another group as soon as you finish eating. Depending on what you make, you may spend a little bit more on this meal than the average meal you cook, but it should still be much cheaper than eating out!
Drive to the beach for the day and relax, or visit DC where you can take advantage of the free Smithsonian museums. Spending a day together is more meaningful and less costly than material gifts.
There's nothing more thoughtful than a homemade gift. Now if you are thinking that you aren't creative and crafty enough to produce something nice, check out our Homemade Mother's Day Gift Ideas board on Pinterest. The simplicity of some of these ideas may surprise you!
Don't let your mom lift a finger on Mother's Day! Clean her entire house, wash her car, run her errands, etc. If your mother is always on top of things and needs nothing done immediately, create some "vouchers" for her to use in the future for various tasks.
This is an especially good option for those who do not live close to their mothers. So when I say "write," I mean with a pen, not a keyboard. And when I say "letter," I mean on a physical piece of paper or greeting card, not a computer or phone. Write something thoughtful and detailed – something that could only come from you. Then put it in the mail (as in post office service, not internet). Physical letters are much more sentimental then electronic messages.
Whatever you decide to do, make sure your mother knows how much you appreciate her and everything she's done for you!

Ways to Save
Welcome back to the 6 Day Spring Clean Your Finances Challenge! In case you missed part 1, click here. Otherwise, we're on to day 3...
Step 1: Do you have a retirement plan? If so, move on to step 2. If not, start one…right now! Never underestimate the power of compound interest. You can start by looking into retirement plans that your employer offers. There are often incentives associated with these accounts that make these investments worth your while. However, when you are first setting everything up, it's smart to meet with a financial consultant. There are many things to take into consideration when saving for retirement and many factors that go into how much you should be putting away. A financial consultant can do all the hard work for you and talk you through the process of getting your account(s) set up.
Step 2: So you have a plan in place – great! Now when was the last time you reviewed your plan? Since the hard part is setting up your retirement plan, many people think that once this is done, they can sit back and relax for the next 40 years. Not true! It's important to review your plan periodically to make sure you are making good progress, everything is still on track, and your plan accounts for any major life changes you have made. Our Retirement Planner Calculator is a good place to start to see if your plan is still a good one.
Today you will "audit" yourself to see what you are unwisely spending money on. Do you have all of the premium movie channels but rarely use them? Maybe you would be better off getting rid of the channels and instead subscribing to Netflix or taking advantage of Red Box or movies on demand. Or maybe you do subscribe to Netflix but never use it – time to say goodbye! The same goes for magazine and online subscriptions. It's easy to continue subscribing to a product or service for $10 a month and seems not worth the trouble to get rid of it…but if you have 5 of these unused subscriptions, that's $50 a month you could save by getting rid of everything.
Also, when was the last time you shopped around for insurance (car, home, health, etc.)? You may have done your research and gotten several quotes initially, but if it's been awhile, things have probably changed and there's a good chance you can lower your premiums.

'Tis the season of spring cleaning – my favorite time of year! What? You disagree? Well how about right AFTER spring cleaning? Coming home to a freshly cleaned house is a wonderful way to come home. It leaves you feeling relaxed and stress-free…that is, until you start to think about other areas of your life causing you stress.
Solution: Spring clean those other areas of your life as well! Organize your space at work, clean out your email inbox and…here's the doozy: clean up your finances! I know cleaning up your finances may sound like a daunting task, but if you tackle it the right way you can get it done in no time! Well, not quite "no time," but how does 6 days sound?
Especially if you have moved around a lot in recent years, you may have checking and savings accounts that you no longer use. While it's easy to keep unused accounts open, you may be accruing fees and you are definitely not putting those funds to good use. Even if you only have a small amount in these accounts, it's time to close those accounts! If you have moved and do not have a branch near you, you can generally request that your account be closed in writing. Contact the financial institution to find out exactly what information they require.
Additionally, if you have changed jobs you may have an inactive 401(k). It's time to roll that into an IRA! You will first have to open said IRA so that you actually have an account to roll your funds into. Then contact the company that runs your old 401(k) and ask them to transfer the funds. In some cases, it might be best to leave your funds where they are. Consider talking to a financial consultant who can talk you through the process and give you tips on managing your retirement fund.
Organization...that dreaded word. The good news is that since you have just consolidated your funds into fewer accounts, you have less to organize! If you have a giant stack of "important" papers somewhere in your house, it's time to tackle them! Go through everything and figure out what you need to keep and what you should throw away or shred.
If you have a filing system in place, your work today will be a little bit easier, but you should still go through everything and get rid of things you no longer need. If you don't have a filing system…today you must figure one out!
Organization Day is not a fun day for many people. To make it easier in the future, switch to electronic documents whenever possible. Enroll all of your accounts in Online Banking with electronic bank statements and Bill Pay. This way, all of your statements and bills will still be filed, but instead of ending up in a messy stack on your table, they will be organized for you in a secure electronic format!

Personal Statement
Although there is a purpose it is of the poetics and a matter of discovery and rediscovery as the work progresses. The surfaces, the skin are more like a place, a surprise through form, color, light and material present and pulsating.
An attempt to coordinate what I know and the not-yet-known, persevering for a result that is not a conclusion but an event that is visual, compelling physical and a mental space. Something that is not easily consumed, something big and universal, it touches on the real, is aware of the historical moment but un-consumed by it.
Central to the work is color. Made with clay with the palm at the back of the mind: an object that is fluid, electrical, absurd, theatrical and existential with wild lone beauty. The intention is not narrative or allegorical, but to present fluttering inventions. The meaning wants to mingle with sensory experience and the possible emotions that the sculptures desire to generate.
The self-conscious attempt to name beauty is for me one of the clearest pursuits precisely because is tentative, anxious, incongruous, inconvenient, almost a scandal with no path
I try to create circumstances in which students feel free to act according to their own initiatives and desires. The intention is to make a place in the classroom, the studios and the labs, where the student and myself can talk about anything. At the same time I want to create conditions for language and learning to be very specific, never arbitrary. We encounter multiple paradoxes working this way and it is often in the contradictions where the best dialogue takes place.
I believe in learning by doing and doing with others. In the ceramic processes is very convenient and almost inevitable to cooperate, not necessarily to collaborate, but to learn how to work together with our individualities. We all try to understand these complexities in the classroom as clear and easily as possible as we go along. It takes a while to learn how to talk to each other. It is not about being social or being into social concerns but to choosing when to be social and when to work alone, when to reflect with the group and how to think alone and independently: To learn not to follow.
I give the student plenty of time and space, to be curious, recognize errors and enjoy not to know. We don't have to justify why we make art, it is at its best when is an adventure.

Underground works hit Foyles profits
Foyles' annual profit has dived by 25%, hit by the continuing disruption from the Transport For London Tottenham Court Road underground station development in London.
The bookshop chain's sales increased by 2.8% to £23.5 million, up from £22.8m last year, but annual profits to 30th June 2012 fell by 25.5% to £152,552 (£204,681 in 2011). It is the fourth consecutive year the business had recorded a profit.
The retailer's chief executive, Sam Husain, said the sales improvement was down to the company's new Westfield Stratford City store, which was out-performing turnover expectations. However, he estimated that the Charing Cross Road flagship shop had lost £1.5m of sales over the year, costing the company an extra £0.5m in profit because the TFL developments deterred customers from using the part of Charing Cross Road where the Foyles store is based.
Husain said: "Sales are up because of Westfield Stratford City and because sales are up, so are operating costs in relation to that. But our biggest store is Charing Cross Road, and the disruption has cost us a lot of sales."
Husain revealed he had contacted London Mayor Boris Johnson about the problem but had not received any support and believes TFL is not doing enough to counteract the damage being caused. "They have put a couple of posters up pointing out where our and other shops are but it is not sufficient," Husain said.
It was also "too early" to say how Christmas sales were going and the company, but the company was expecting a big finale weekend before 25th December, Husain said.
He added: "Our focus is now turning to the development of our new flagship store at 107-109 Charing Cross Road, the former St Martin's College building, less than a hundred metres down from the existing store on Charing Cross Road."
The company has teamed up with The Bookseller to invite colleagues from the publishing and bookselling world to work together in creating a vision for a bookshop for the future when Foyles moves its flagship store to the new 40,000 sq foot premises.

It's an amazing time in history. On the one hand, we're seeing movement on the part of same-sex couples to have the right to marry, while on the other hand, we see the heterosexual world increasingly treating "marriage" with callous disregard.

Iona 76 Rider 63
Women's College Basketball
Iona College 76, Rider University 63
Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Game
LAWRENCEVILLE--The Rider University women's basketball team lost to Iona College 76-63 Sunday afternoon in the regular season finale at Alumni Gymnasium. The Broncs honored their four graduating seniors prior to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game.
Rider's seniors scored 11 of the team's first 14 points, eight points by Caitlin Bopp (Baltimore, Md./Inst. of Notre Dame) and three by Sironda Chambers (Wilmington, Del.).
"When your 6-2 center is filling the stat sheet, that's what you need," head coach Lynn Milligan said about Bopp. "Caitlin is playing good basketball right now. She is on a mission and is bringing it every day."
Bopp compiled her 25th career 'double-double' and seventh of the season, scoring 20 points with 16 rebounds, nine on the offensive glass. Bopp added four blocks and two steals in 29 minutes of action. Chambers finished with 11 points, three assists, two steals and two rebounds in 34 minutes.
"I just tried to go out with a bang," said Bopp. "It was my last game in Alumni Gym so that's what I tried to do. If I'm not doing well in one area of my game, I just try to pick it up in another area, whether it is a rebound or getting on the floor and getting a loose ball."
Bopp became only the second player in Rider history with over 900 points and over 900 rebounds, entering the MAAC tournament with 935 points and 913 boards in 106 career games. Rider Athletics Hall of Famer Jessica Beck had 1,015 points and 1,023 rebounds from 1993-96.
Leading 14-12, Iona (18-11, 13-5 MAAC) used a 12-2 run, six points by senior Diana Hubbard, to take a 26-14 lead with 8:51 left in the first half.
"The opening half, we dug ourselves a hole and we gave them some open looks," said Milligan. "You take that stretch away when they were making some threes and it is a pretty even game. I was pleased with our defensive effort and rebounding."
Each team made 25 field goals. Iona made seven more free throws and out-shot Rider from the three-point line nine to three.
"I'm aggravated that we slipped a little in the first half," Bopp said. "We never really caught up to them. We played well but it wasn't truly a complete game. We feel we let one slip away today."
Trailing 26-14, Rider (15-14, 10-8 MAAC) used an 8-3 run over two minutes, four points by Bopp, to get within seven 29-22 with 6:01 left in the first half.
Iona ended the half scoring 10 of the next 16 points, seven points by sophomore Damika Martinez to take a 39-28 lead at the intermission.
Martinez hit a three-pointer with 17:03 left in the game to record her 1,000th career point, the fastest ever at Iona. The MAAC's leading scorer is the 23rd player in Gael history to reach the mark and she finished with 22 points, four rebounds and four assists.
"Martinez is a player of the year candidate for a reason," Milligan said. "She makes shots that nobody else can make. She had to work hard for her points but she is a fantastic player."
Trailing 48-37, Rider used a 5-0 run, three points by sophomore Emily Fazzini (Wayne, Pa./Archbishop Carroll) to cut the lead to six 48-42 with 14:49 left. That was as close as the Broncs would get the rest of the way. Fazzini finished with nine points, five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and a steal in 27 minutes.
Also for the Broncs, junior MyNeshia McKenzie (Springfield, Pa./Springfield (Delco)) recorded her 25th career 'double-double' and 13th of the season, finishing with 17 points and 11 rebounds, five on the offensive glass.
Ride had 14 assists on 25 made field goals. The Broncs out-rebounded the Gaels 46-37, 21-10 on the offensive glass.
Every senior for the Broncs scored on the afternoon.
Senior Carleigh Brown (Philadelphia, Pa./Nazareth Academy) moved into second place on the Broncs' career games played list with 118. She finished with four points, two rebounds and two assists in 12 minutes.
Senior Dior Brown (Upper Darby, Pa./Upper Darby) finished with two points, one rebound and a block in 17 minutes.
"This senior class wanted to be 'that' team, the team that turned things around," Milligan said about the most Bronc wins since the 1994-95 season. They will forever be known for their accomplishments and I couldn't be more proud of the seniors."
Rider lost to Iona 88-58, February 9 in New Rochelle, New York on ESPN3. The Gaels have won seven straight games and head into the MAAC tournament as the #2 seed. Iona has won 23 of the 36 games in the all-time series and have defeated the Broncs three straight times.
"Iona took it to us the first time around," Milligan said. "You saw a big difference today."
The Broncs open MAAC tournament play Friday March 8 at 3:30 pm at the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts. The #4 seeded Broncs will take on the #5 seeded Purple Eagles of Niagara. The Purple Eagles swept the Broncs this season by scores of 62-58 and 64-59.
"We missed an opportunity to grab the number three seed," Milligan added. "But really, that would have been a bonus. The big thing today was to play well and end the regular season on a good note for the seniors. But I can wait for the tournament. This tournament is wide open. If the Rider team that played the second half today gets on that bus Thursday, I'll take my chances against anyone."
"We are going up there to win," Bopp added. "This is the highest place we've ever been seeded. We are going into the tournament with every intention to make the championship game."
10-time defending regular season champion Marist (18-0) is the top seed in the tournament and will play the #8 Loyola / #9 Manhattan winner on March 8 at 1:30pm in the quarterfinals. Second seed Iona will face the winner of #7 Canisius / #10 Saint Peter's on Friday at 9:30am. #4 Rider plays #5 Niagara at 3:30pm on Friday and #3 Fairfield faces #6 Siena at 11:30am on Friday.
The semifinals are Saturday, March 9 at 9:30am and 11:30am on ESPN 3 with the championship game on Monday, March 11 at noon on ESPNU.
The official pairings and the All-MAAC First, Second and Third teams will be announced on Monday afternoon by the conference office.

The electromagnetic force between the electrons lets you pick up the cup, counteracting gravity in the process.
Here too the theory spawned infinity, in what turned out to be more virulent ways than in the electromagnetic case.
An electromagnetic shield could potentially halt incoming projectiles launched from Gaza, Tehran, or North Korea.
What it does say is that our brains are sensitive to this electromagnetic radiation, which is fascinating.
In the case of the electromagnetic force, a panacea was found in 1947, excising infinity to reveal finite, correct, answers.
The fitness of this definition is apparent, having in mind the principles of electromagnetic induction.
Apply the first two laws of electromagnetic induction to the dynamo.
These ways are of two general kinds: by thermal and by electromagnetic means.
It clung to it with an electromagnetic train, bleeding it of data.
They will therefore have a total apparent mass, composed of their real mass and of a fictitious mass of electromagnetic origin.

Back to Franklin Facts homepage.
Back to TV12
Seeing the inclement weather this past Saturday in Washington, DC got me thinking about
the weather of past presidential inaugurations.
Back in 1841, our ninth president,
William Henry Harrison, gave the longest inaugural speech
on record - 1 hour and 45 minutes - on a cold rainy day without a hat or coat. He got a
cold that eventually turned into pneumonia, and died a month after taking office, the
shortest term of any president.
The snowiest inauguration was probably in 1909 when ten inches fell in Washington on the
day William Taft became our 27th president.
The wettest was in 1937 when FDR was sworn
in for his second term, with almost two inches of rain and temperatures only in the 30s
that day. The coldest Inauguration Day on record was not all that long ago, in 1985
when Ronald Reagan was sworn in for his second term.
The high that day in Washington
was only 17oF, and wind chills were well below zero.

Why FPS fails
As you no doubt know, nearly all video game benchmarks are based on a single unit of measure, the ubiquitous FPS, or frames per second. FPS is a nice instant summary of performance, expressed in terms that are relatively easy to understand. After all, your average geek tends to know that movies happen at 24 FPS and television at 30 FPS, and any PC gamer who has done any tuning probably has a sense of how different frame rates "feel" in action.
Of course, there are always debates over benchmarking methods, and the usual average FPS score has come under fire repeatedly over the years for being too broad a measure. We've been persuaded by those arguments, so for quite a while now, we have provided average and low FPS rates from our benchmarking runs and, when possible, graphs of frame rates over time. We think that information gives folks a better sense of gaming performance than just an average FPS number.
Still, even that approach has some obvious weaknesses. We've noticed them at times when results from our FRAPS-based testing didn't seem to square with our seat-of-the-pants experience. The fundamental problem is that, in terms of both computer time and human visual perception, one second is a very long time. Averaging results over a single second can obscure some big and important performance differences between systems.
We didn't set out to hunt down multi-GPU micro-stuttering. We just wanted to try some new methods of measuring performance, but those methods helped us identify an interesting problem. I think that means we're on the right track, but the micro-stuttering issue complicates our task quite a bit.
In fact, in a bit of a shocking revelation, Petersen told us Nvidia has "lots of hardware" in its GPUs aimed at trying to fix multi-GPU stuttering. The basic technology, known as frame metering, dynamically tracks the average interval between frames. Those frames that show up "early" are delayed slightly—in other words, the GPU doesn't flip to a new buffer immediately—in order to ensure a more even pace of frames presented for display. The lengths of those delays are adapted depending on the frame rate at any particular time. Petersen told us this frame-metering capability has been present in Nvidia's GPUs since at least the G80 generation, if not earlier. (He offered to find out exactly when it was added, but we haven't heard back yet.)

Nose profile is very small and straight but nostrils spread when I smile. Would an alar base reduction be a good idea? (photo)
Doctor Answers 10
Wide Nostrils?
Just for your own edification, not all plastic surgery is pricey. In my practice in NJ, the total cost for this surgery is $4100 which includes the professional, anesthesia, and facility fee. I can't help you with the family pressure as they love you for who you are.

Candidate for Alarplasty
It would be nice if you would also attach a photo where you are not smiling for comparison. From this photo however, I agree that your alar flares significantly when you smile and alarplasty will nicely improve your alar wing and nostril however, please understand that following alarplasty, there is a possibility that the tip of your nose will appear relatively more prominent though in reality, it's size will not change. Make sure you consider this possibility before deciding on any surgery.
Am I a good candidate for alar base reduction?
Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.
