Two different stories here, of the difficulties of banking on either presumptive or actual standards.
Dave Shea had an essay this week on how he is no longer using XHTML conventions in his paying work: "Six years ago, many of us thought XHTML would be the future of the web and we'd be living in an XML world by now. But in the intervening time it's become fairly apparent to myself and others that XHTML2 really isn't going anywhere, at least not in the realm that we care about. For me, a guy who builds web sites and applications for clients that have to work in today's browsers, XHTML2 is a non-issue. No browser support, no use to today's web authors. End of story."
Advocates for a proposal often speak of it as an accomplished reality, before it actually achieves agreement from others, much less is available from browser vendors, then adopted by significant audiences, then proven cost-effective by content developers. There was enough talk about XHTML that it was easy to assume it was real. Dave bet on XHTML, and is now walking away from that bet.
Jason Grant mentions that the same dynamic is occuring today: "I find this very strange. Somehow you feel like HTML5 'is here' while I would argue that XHTML2.0 nor HTML5 are here either. The 'improvements' offered by HTML5 are few and browser vendors have jumped into implementing it without really considering the future properly… Most people I speak to are not happy with HTML5 to great extent and that specification does not seem to be heading forward that rapidly either — in other words one could argue both XHTML2.0 and HTML5 are pretty dead."
Dave demurs that he's merely expecting HTML5 to be ratified and then implemented in its current form, and later adds: "I don't feel like it's remotely close to the right time to start delivering client sites in HTML5. Experimental and personal sites, maybe."
Late in the thread Duane Storey had this interesting tidbit on a different subject, the academic rationale for XHTML and what happened when it met the real world: "The only real benefit to having a XHTML/XML document is that it can be properly parsed by a XML parser. In theory, that should make manipulating the document easier and rendering the document less error-prone. The reality is though, as a third party developer, since most sites don't actually properly validate as XML, you can't make the assumption that they are parsable, which basically means you have to treat most things as HTML anyways and allow for some slop."
Most of the rest of the lengthy comments section is about arguing over rules, and what the rules mean, and what the rules should mean… not much about results.
What I got from Dave's piece: Anticipating that a proposal will become a de jure standard, and then a meaningful de facto standard, is a gambling game.
Jonathan Snook brought up different-yet-similar problem… when should content developers consider fighting against what audiences actually use? IE6 has dropped from universal consumer support down to Firefox range, but it costs more for content developers to do new tricks in it. He doesn't come down on either side of "the IE6 question", but provides some new ways of looking at the problem.
Here's how he opens: "If you haven't done so, I highly recommend cracking out a copy of Firefox 1. Start bouncing around to a few sites and check out what's broken. Sure, most stuff is fine but you'd probably be surprised at what's broken. What about Firefox 2…?"
And here's how he closes: "You may say that Opera is too small to really care about. It's only 2%. You don't care about Firefox 2 users. It's only 2%. You may not care about accessibility issues. It's only 2%. Soon enough, you've whittled down your potential market to 90% of what it could have been… I'll keep thinking about all those people I could be getting. Did they walk away with the best experience? Sometimes it hurts my head just to think about it. So now it's your turn: Should we care about old browsers or fringe browsers? Or are we safe in our little bubble?"
Internet Explorer 6 was the exclusive browser choice of over 80% of all surfers as recently as December 2005 — no other browser version has ever been used by so much of the audience! It's the closest thing to a standard release (in terms of realworld audience support) that the browser world has ever seen. Even today it still has marketshare about equal to all versions of Firefox combined.
IE6 was the standard, and now we're thinking of changing the definition of "HTML" out from under it to include things it won't understand.
Another way to look at it: Should content developers effectively outlaw ex-standard user agents from their new-standard designs? Tricky question.
Comments at Jonathan's were mostly "here's what I test against". Scott Jehl brought up the key point of mobile HTML, and I followed up on that, although I didn't bring up the other key issue of archival formats versus the ephemeral web. Comments didn't surface a solid answer to Jonathan's question.
Dave was dealing with anticipating that something may become a realworld standard. Jonathan wrote about deprecating something that was already an overwhelming realworld standard.
Don't know what it all means, and I don't have answers to their questions, but thes are striking questions to think about.
Flash is in here, too, but the versioning issues are much less severe, and there's already progress being made on addressing cross-device issues.
I don't know what percentage of IE6 users are using the current Flash Player, but imagine it's pretty high — people are hesitant to make big visible software updates because it risks changing things, and "if it ain't broke don't fix it". But browser plugins don't change UI or habits, don't risk losing data. If you want to do new stuff faster, then it makes sense to have the runtime work across browser brands, across browser versions, and not to make a big splash of itself when it arrives.
There's more resistance to updating a browser, much less changing a browser brand, and any browser choice tends to be an exclusive one.
Flash works with almost any browser, and doesn't make you choose among them.
Different dynamics. The technologies complement each other.

At least four parties have made it to the latest shortlist to acquire Australia's largest and most controversial private cotton irrigator, Cubbie Station. Final offers on the assets are expected to be made within the next month.
Details are closely held but it is understood the shortlist is a mix of syndicates including investors such as private equity firm Olympus Capital Holdings Asia.
Eastern Australia Agriculture, backed by Hong Kong-based Pacific Alliance Group, is also one of the parties interested in the assets.
Located near Dirranbandi in Queensland's southern inland, Cubbie Group covers about 93,000 hectares over three properties and has total water storage capacity of 537,000 megalitres, according to its website.
The station was at the centre of the federal government's controversial water buyback scheme because of allegations it was taking too much water out of the system.
The group, now subject to a deed of company arrangement, has been controlled by National Australia Bank and Suncorp Group since the company went into voluntary administration in 2009.
The banks are owed at least $320 million
McGrathNicol Services, the company's administrator, hired Goldman Sachs to find a suitable bidder for all or part of the assets.
McGrathNicol and Goldman Sachs were not available to comment.
NAB and Suncorp injected an extra $55 million to fund the 2012 crop and take advantage of this year's heavy rains. The company's cotton fields were expected to deliver a $150 million crop.
Any deal involving foreign ownership would be examined by the Foreign Investment Review Board and be approved by the federal Treasurer, who must refer his endorsement to cabinet.
Last year, The Royal Bank of Scotland Group and Jones Lang LaSalle ran a similar process to sell the company.
Ashan Ali Syed-backed Western Gulf Advisory, along with Eastern Australia Agriculture were reportedly the two front-runners. WGA has since been involved in fraud allegations.
That sale process was ultimately unsuccessful.

Many people, throughout the country, are now unemployed due to the massive layoffs that have taken place. When employed, many of them enjoyed the benefits of employer health care. In order to give some assistance to these employees, in 1986 the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) was passed. Since that date, a COBRA insurance supplement, also called a subsidy, has been added.
This Act allows employees to retain their insurance under certain circumstances. They remain a member of the group plan, which usually has lower premiums, however, previous to the supplement, they had to bear the full cost of the insurance. In other words, their employers portion as well as their own.
In 2009 Congress passed a Bill to provide a subsidy for people carrying this insurance in the amount of 65% of the premium. This reduced an insurance premium of $1,000 to around $300, making it an affordable amount to pay. They also added that this subsidy only covered those who were unemployed between September l, 2008 and May 31, 2010. Anyone who did not lose his or her job between those dates is not eligible for the subsidy. The supplement was originally to only apply for 9 months, however, this was extended to 15 months of the 18 allowed.
To qualify for COBRA, and the supplement, one must have been laid off, not fired or simply quit. The company one worked for must have been supplying group medical insurance and have more than 20 employees. If the company goes out of business or bankrupt there is no insurance. Also, a self-employed person or a person who is collecting Medicare, Medicaid, Disability or covered under another person's plan is not eligible for this insurance.
Any employee who is terminated is required, by law, to receive a severance package. In that package has an application for COBRA insurance as well as an application for the supplement. There are also other documents explaining the employees rights, how to apply for unemployment insurance and other things.
If an employee was laid off, before the supplement came into effect, the employer must inform them, in writing, that this benefit is available. Anyone who has been paying the premium in full previous to that time may qualify for a refund of some of the money paid. An application must be made for a refund and can be obtained from the former employer or from the Department of Treasury.
Upon receiving the termination package, it is essential that the employee make out all the forms and immediately get them in the mail to the insurance provider. Every question must be answered carefully and the first premium must accompany the application for COBRA. This will assure that there is a continuation of the insurance with no interruptions.
In 2010 a bill was presented, in Congress, to extend the supplement beyond the 15 month limit. This bill did not pass however, it is expected that it will return to the floor after the November elections. There is also the question to be answered as to what will happen to COBRA when the National Health Bill goes into effect.

First Prayer for Fear
Dear Lord,
I need you. I need your help.
I have fear in my life. The emotion of fear is getting more and more overpowering. I need your strength to combat this enemy of fear.
Father, you said that fear has torment. I see that. You also said that you didn't give me a spirit of fear. So this fear is coming from the enemy. You said that you give me power, love, and a sound mind. Lord, you gave me those things. Help me to learn how to access them.
Lord, I need you to teach me how to conquer this fear.
Lord, I know I need to refuse to listen to fear. Help me.
Lord, I will make a dedication today to set my face like flint against fear. By faith, I declare that I will have less fear tonight when I go to bed than when I got up this morning.
Fear has started a war with me. I will come against fear and win this war! I will not be dismayed if I don't win every single battle but I declare that by the power of God - I WILL win the war!
Lord, I'm going to stand up in your name and speak strong words against fear.
In the name of Jesus, I say to fear, "I am not going to let you run my life anymore. I am going to stand up against you. I am going to do what God wants me to do even if I must do it afraid."
Father God, thank you for guiding me this day. Thank you for providing for me this day. Thank you for teaching me this day. I am becoming stronger in you. I praise your name.

Cheryl Cole Eyed As Potential 'American Idol' Judge: Report
According to the NY Post, the British singer was approached by AI executives on Monday to see if she'd be interested in joining Idol – either alongside Jennifer Lopez or as a replacement if J-Lo leaves.
But does Cheryl have what it takes to be an Idol judge?
The singer appeared in the first few episodes of X Factor before being dumped by Simon Cowell. She was criticized for lacking stage presence and for her thick English accent, sources said.
More shakeups may be happening on the Idol set.
Last week on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Lopez, 42, said she doesn't know if she'll return to American Idol next season in part because she wants to spend more time with her twins, Max and Emme.
"I don't know if I can go for a third year," she said. "I miss doing other things. It really does lock you down, which was nice the first year with the babies being 3, but now they're getting more mobile, they're about to go into school. So I just don't know."
Other sources claim J-Lo is holding out for more money.
"Unless there has been a sudden change of heart, she's is not going anywhere," a source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told Celebuzz.
The "On The Floor" singer has been on Idol for two seasons with one-year contracts for both. She went home with $12 million the first time around with a nice raise to $20 million for this season.

The Highways Agency wants to spend £15m to improve the A1/A57/A614 Apleyhead junction, between Worksop and Retford.
The inquiry will be at Thoresby Gallery, Thoresby Park, near Ollerton, starting on 6 September.
If the plan is approved, work could start in the summer next year, with completion towards the end of 2007.
New road
It is one of several schemes to remove roundabouts for A1 traffic in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.
It is part of the ongoing plan to upgrade the road from Peterborough to Blyth in Notts. Stretches either side of the East Midlands have been rebuilt to motorway standards.
The Apleyhead scheme would see the building of about 1.8km (1.1 mile) of new dual carriageway, a side road carried on a bridge and a new roundabout junction to the east of the existing A1.
The existing roundabout - where the three roads meet at a bottleneck - would be modified to form part of the new junction.
There was public consultation on the plan in spring 2003, and a preferred route was announced in December 2004.

The Cook mausoleum is across the road from the similar Blain mausoleum, offset perhaps thirty feet to one side. The design is nearly identical, save that the Cook mausoleum has its front window frame filled with the same sort of stones that make up the mausoleum walls (rather than a marble panel carved with names as the Blain mausoleum has), and has rooftop ornaments that the Blain mausoleum lacks: four urns at the corners, a chequred box at the summit, and a granite ball atop that.
On the round inset panel over the door is the family name, Cook, and the date 1880; both these mausoleums were apparently constructed in this same year.

Evolution and the tree of life
Discover the diversity of life on Earth and the forces that shape it! In this section, you can learn about evolution, natural selection, and the tree of life, as well as basic population genetics. Special bonus: take a peek into the amazing worlds of bacteria and viruses.
Learn about evolution, the process in which groups of organisms change in their genetic makeup and heritable features over time. Natural selection is an important mechanism of evolution, one that can cause groups to become better suited to their environments over generations.
At its core, evolution is a change in the allele frequencies in a population over time. But how does this change happen, and how can it be measured? Here, we'll address these questions at both the conceptual and mathematical levels.
A family tree can tell you how you are related to your close relatives...but an evolutionary tree can tell us how all living things on Earth are related! Learn about what makes something a species, where new species come from, and how living organisms can be classified into groups (on the basis of either evolutionary relatedness or other features).

> Less Soil Erosion Through Conservation Tillage
Atrazine is a popular corn herbicide in conservation tillage — farming methods which reduce or eliminate plowing and tillage that would otherwise control weeds.
"Atrazine and simazine are especially valuable in conservation tillage systems in corn because they provide excellent residual control, and are not tightly adsorbed to surface crop residue, but wash easily from residue to the soil. Atrazine also provides postemergence activity, helping to control emerged weeds...The importance of atrazine to conservation tillage farmers is illustrated by the preferential use of atrazine in conservation tillage. Atrazine was used on 61.7% of conventional tillage corn in 2004 and 84.1% of conservation tillage corn. If atrazine and simazine herbicides were not available, farmers could be expected to increase tillage to control weeds in the absence of effective herbicides."
Fawcett, Benefits of Triazine Herbicides in Reducing Erosion and Fuel Use in U.S. Corn Production, Proceedings North Central Weed Science Society, 2006
Data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture show that atrazine was used on approximately 70 percent of no-till and conservation tillage corn acres in the U.S. in 2004, making it the most widely used herbicide for such systems. Conservation tillage can be an economical option for farmers, plus provides a number of potential environmental benefits:
Reduced plowing makes cropland much less vulnerable to soil erosion: conservation tillage reduces soil erosion by as much as 90 percent, compared to systems using intensive tillage.
Farmers currently use no-tillage or conservation tillage on almost 44 million acres of corn in the U.S. That figure could decrease significantly without atrazine.
Reduced soil erosion decreases sedimentation in nearby waterways, which helps protect existing aquatic ecosystems.
Conservation tillage, buffers and filter strips protect water quality by reducing the runoff of crop nutrients and pesticides applied to farm fields by 70 percent or more.
Conservation tillage cuts farmers' overall use of fuel. This reduces exhaust emissions from agricultural equipment and decreases agriculture's consumption of non-renewable fossil fuels. Farmers are currently saving 306 million gallons of fuel annually due to adoption of conservation tillage, or the equivalent of 23,000 tanker trucks of fuel every year.
Conservation tillage helps build organic content in the topsoil by keeping a layer of crop residue near the soil surface. As organic matter increases, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is sequestered in the soil, reducing global warming concerns. Switching to no-till promotes the storage of about 600 pounds of carbon in an acre of soil each year.
No-till fields provide better wildlife habitat. For example, in a North Carolina study, quail chicks found their daily food needs in one-fifth the time in no-till fields, compared to tilled fields.

Dog Haus, a gourmet hot dog chain out of California, sniffing around Denver
Dog Haus, a gourmet hot-dog chain based in Southern California, is getting ready to mark Denver's turf next year.
See also: Dunkin' Donuts opens today, Voodoo Doughnut tomorrow
While the chain has yet to decide on a location, it's already announced that it will open a store next year somewhere in the Denver area -- which is already home to such homegrown hot-dog concepts as Biker Jim's and Steve's Snappin' Dogs.
And like the lineups at those spots, the Dog Haus menu features both dogs and sausages, with elaborate toppings for both.
This will be the fourth location for the Dog Haus, and the first out-of-state spot. The company currently has two locations in Pasadena and one in Alhambra.

East Side New York Half-Sour Pickles
Recipe by Oolala
Posted as per a request for amberngriffinco. This is from "Eat, Enjoy! The 101 Best Jewish Recipes in America" this was from Frank Kachman, Valley Stream, NY. This takes 2 weeks to be pickled.
Top Review by mollypaul
These pickles are fermented and cured for several weeks, much like sauerkraut. During curing, colors and flavors change and acidity increases. Wash cucumbers thoroughly. Be sure to remove and discard a 1/16-inch slice from the blossom end of fresh cucumbers. Blossoms may contain an enzyme which causes excessive softening of pickles. Soft or slippery pickles can be caused by several things (If spoilage is evident, do not eat): 1) Salt brine too weak during fermentation. 2) Cucumbers stored at too high a temperature during fermentation. 3) Insufficient amount of brine. 4) Pickles not processed properly (to destroy microorganisms). 5) Moldy garlic or spices. 6) Blossom ends not removed from cucumbers. Scum on the brine surfaces while curing cucumbers is not uncommon. Wild yeasts and bacteria that feed on the acid thus reducing the concentration if allowed to accumulate. Remove scum as often as needed. Fully fermented pickles may be stored in the original container for about 4 to 6 months, provided they are refrigerated and surface scum and molds are removed regularly. Canning fully fermented pickles is a better way to store them. To can them, pour the brine into a pan, heat slowly to a boil, and simmer 5 minutes. Filter brine through paper coffee filters to reduce cloudiness, if desired. Fill jar with pickles and hot brine, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process in a boiling water bath.

Dinesh Gandhi had earlier directed a film and had assisted many directors as a co-director. He is now turning a producer with Veera Madakari, which is the remake of Telugu hit Vikramarkudu starring Ravi Teja and Anushka. The Telugu film which became a block buster was directed by S.S. Rajamouli.
The launch was attended by many well noted film personalities including Karnataka Film Chamber Of Commerce Vice President SA. Ra. Govindoo. Rebel star Ambarish was present to bless the team. Munaf Patel made a brief appearance after the function and just sat in a corner. With him were some former Ranji players of Karnataka and a few friends. Later it became clear that Sudeep was one of his close friends. After exchanging pleasantries with a few friends and holding a brief conversation with Sudeep, Munaf Patel quietly left the place.
Director Sadhu Kokila said that the film will be shot in Badami, Aihole, Pattadakal and many outdoor spots in Northern Karnataka.
"Major portions of the shooting will take place in Badami Caves. Later we are planning to shoot in Bangalore and also abroad. I am planning to shoot the film for 80 to 90 days," said Sadhu Kokila. He has managed to get the best technicians in the form of Art director Dinesh Mangalore and Fight Choreographer Thriller Manju. Sadhu also said that Sudeep will be playing two roles in the film and the heroine of the film is yet to be finalised. The film will be starting its shooting schedule in August.
Sudeep added that there is diversity in the two characters that he is portraying in the film. "There is space for comedy, dynamism, heroism and also for good performance in these two roles," he said.

This is without a doubt the most perfect display possible for the X-Men films. Dave Delisle of Dave's Geeky Ideas came up with the idea, which is sadly not a real thing that you can buy. The centerpiece of the display is Magneto, who's standing with his arms spread as though he's making the discs hover in midair. This isn't the first time he's come up with an amazing display case. He's got lots of geeky creations including one for Doctor Who and The Avengers.

By Skip Wood, USA TODAY
Don Shula remembers the well-meaning but oh-so-condescending condolences during the 2007 season.
The Miami Dolphins were a disaster. And when Shula conducted his public business, folks would sidle up and confess their seemingly heartfelt distress to the man who wasn't even the team's coach.
Yet he was. And always will be.
OFFSEASON REPORTS: Check-ins on the state of every NFL franchise
Perhaps more than any other person in the history of the franchise, Shula looms as the definitive Mr. Dolphin. He was the coach from 1970 to 1995, led Miami to the league's first and only unblemished season while bringing home two Super Bowl trophies and entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1997.
But then came 1-15 in 2007, and when one is that associated with a franchise — Shula holds the largely ceremonial team post of vice chairman — the painfully visible deterioration of a lifetime's worth of labor and love stings.
"It was an embarrassment, it really was," Shula said of the hapless 2007 club during a recent telephone conversation. "It was hard on all Dolphins fans and certainly on former Dolphins coaches.
"That's why last season's turnaround was so refreshing."
He refers to the team's stunning 2008 resurrection, complete with an 11-5 mark and an AFC East title.
There were many reasons for the turnaround, from new football operations CEO Bill Parcells to wunderkind general manager Jeff Ireland to new coach Tony Sparano to new quarterback Chad Pennington.
Shula listens to the aforementioned litany and chuckles.
"I think you've got to give Brett Favre a lot of credit, too," he says. "If all that stuff with him hadn't happened, we don't have Pennington."
But they did have Pennington because Favre left the Green Bay Packers and went to the New York Jets, who promptly dumped Pennington to make room for Favre. A day after becoming an ex-Jet, Pennington was the Dolphins quarterback.
All Pennington did was finish second in the league in passer rating and claim his second comeback player of the year award.
Chad Henne might be the team's quarterback of the future, but Pennington is the hero who not only stopped the bleeding but also performed a complete transfusion.
"I really think that no matter how you look at things now," Shula says, "the future really looks bright."
He pauses.
"It's funny how things can change so quickly," he says.
However, things aren't likely to change quickly for the Dolphins. In other words, things look pretty good going forward.
Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams are back at running back; Pennington is back; Joey Porter is back at linebacker; and pass-rushing-specialist Jason Taylor is back after a year-long exile with the Washington Redskins.
Yet run that line of thinking past Sparano and he all but cringes, then proceeds to do what most NFL coaches do — more or less moan. Only to a point, though … almost as if it's an obligation.
"Nothing is guaranteed to you in this league — that's not the kind of business that we're in," Sparano says. "I did a study over the last 10 years (of) the teams that won their division and whether or not they made the playoffs the following year; only 49% of the teams made (the postseason). … Now that being said, there are some things you take from (the turnaround). There's a confidence. It's something that we talk about as coaches. We're out here able to function a lot easier right now."
As opposed to this time a year ago during the first official minicamp.
"It's like night and day," Sparano says. "I mean, it really is. … Guys are able to react a lot faster, sooner."
Pennington agrees, saying he wants to put "two consistent years back-to-back and (build) on this offense. It's my 10th year, but it's really only my 10th month in the offense, so every day I'm learning something new. … It's not just knowing what everyone is doing now (but) knowing why we are doing it and how to do it better."
Meanwhile, the team makeover in other areas is progressing.
For one thing, coral-reefer singer Jimmy Buffett worked out a deal to have the home stadium called Land Shark Stadium in honor of a beer he's promoting.
For another thing, singer Gloria Estefan and her husband bought a minority share of the team.
All of which brings us back to … Shula.
Mr. Dolphin.
So glum two years ago, he is happily rejuvenated and willing to put the Dolphins' record of success against that of any other team.
"I mean, yes, the Steelers are certainly a great franchise, and they've won six Super Bowls, and you've got to give them credit for that. But I also think that the Dolphins, over a certain time frame, have to be evaluated as one of the best of all time.
"And, really, I shouldn't have to be the one to say it. I mean, certainly no one else has ever done 17-0."
You are correct, sir.
"We had one really down year, and that's long over with," Shula says.
• Quarterback: Chad Pennington is positioned to continue his and the Dolphins' resurgence. He fell into the team's lap last summer, and away they went. Folks in Miami simply hope he stays upright for another season, after which, in all likelihood, the job will be passed to strong-armed Chad Henne.
• Running back: Ronnie Brown is coming off a Pro Bowl season, one in which he showed he still had his mojo despite major knee surgery, which had some observers wondering about his future. And then there's Ricky Williams, who has put meditation and other activities on hold while he continues a star-crossed career.
• Wide receiver: Dolphins fans surely wonder how much better Miami would be if it had a show stopper at this position. The Dolphins instead have players who are, well, decent. Ted Ginn Jr. is a work in progress. Greg Camarillo, coming off knee surgery, is solid and efficient. Davone Bess will see plenty of snaps. Still, this position looms as the team's biggest source of concern.
• Tight end: Not great, but not bad, either. Anthony Fasano and David Martin combined for 65 catches, 904 yards and 10 touchdowns a year ago. Both have their flaws (Fasano, speed; Martin, hands) but provide enough to satisfy.
• Offensive line: If the troops stay healthy, this unit looks pretty darn good. But there's little depth, and that could be problematic. On the bright side, there's left tackle Jake Long, the former No. 1 draft pick whose rookie season ended with a Pro Bowl invitation. Right tackle Vernon Carey is solid. Justin Smiley, at left guard, was hobbled by injuries last season, and right guard is anyone's guess. Jake Grove is a fundamentally sound center.
• Defensive line: One old guy and some promising young guys. Nose tackle Jason Ferguson, 34, is a productive player when healthy. But there are colts at defensive end in Kendall Langford and Phillip Merling.
• Linebacker: Joey Porter, 32, had a career-high 17½ sacks last season. With Jason Taylor, 34, back in the mix, Porter is going to face fewer double teams. Channing Crowder is solid inside, as is Akin Ayodele. Bottom line: This unit has potential, but only if Porter and Taylor remain on the sunny side of the age factor.
• Secondary: Will Allen, at cornerback, returns as the leader of the unit. The other corner is something of a mystery, with newly acquired Eric Green and pups Sean Smith and Vontae Davis. At safety? All is well. Gibril Wilson and Yeremiah Bell carry big sticks.
• Special teams: Goodbye, Jay Feely. Hello, Dan Carpenter. Last year's head-scratching move, swapping a proven veteran for an undrafted lad from Montana, can be summed up as such: Carpenter made 21 of 25 field goal attempts. Brandon Fields appears to have a nice career path at punter. Kick returners? A mixed bag. Ginn is able to a point, and look for more of Bess.
• Coaching staff: Tony Sparano, handpicked by franchise czar Bill Parcells, walked in last season and led one of the worst teams in league history to an 11-5 record. Enough said. Crafty offensive coordinator Dan Henning went old school-yet-new school by running often while incorporating the Wildcat formation. Defensive boss Paul Pasqualoni righted the ship on his side of the ball.
• Outlook: The schedule will be more difficult, barring implosions from elsewhere. The surprise factor is gone. The Dolphins again are for real, and everyone in the league knows it. And for that reason, what seemed almost surreal last season will be expected this season. Pressure, anyone?

Beijing (AFP) July 09, 2013
Chinese inflation accelerated to 2.7 percent in June, official data showed Tuesday, but analysts cautioned demand remained weak and growth in the world's second-largest economy may have slowed further.
The year-on-year figure for the consumer price index (CPI) -- a main gauge of inflation -- was up from 2.1 percent in May, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said in a statement.
It was higher than market expectations of 2.5 percent in a poll of 18 economists by Dow Jones Newswires.
Food price increases hit an annual 4.9 percent in June and remained the main driving force of inflation, according to the NBS.
China has set its inflation target for 2013 at 3.5 percent, much higher than last year's actual rate of 2.6 percent.
"Inflation is not a concern yet... and inflationary pressure is mild and under control," Sun Junwei, a Beijing-based economist with HSBC, told AFP.
The Chinese economy grew only 7.8 percent in 2012, its slowest annual pace in 13 years while it expanded 7.7 percent in the first three months of this year.
Analysts expect growth in the second quarter to slow further on weak domestic and foreign demand, as well as Beijing's determination to carry out reforms to reduce the country's reliance on investment and exports.
Threats to economic growth have increased, they say, after a credit squeeze last month, when the interest rates banks charge each other surged to record highs, reflecting the government's reluctance to loosen monetary policy.
A purchasing managers' index for China by British bank HSBC, which tracks manufacturing activity in factories and is a closely watched gauge of the health of the economy, hit a nine-month low of 48.2 in June, indicating further contraction.
"The recently released data showed that (growth in) the second quarter was no better than the first quarter and a slowing trend has apparently continued," Sun said.
China's producer price index (PPI), which measures the costs of goods as they leave factories, fell 2.7 percent year-on-year in June, its 16th straight month in negative territory, NBS data showed.
"Of raw material purchasing prices, metals and power dropped sharply, showing that domestic demand remains weak and heavy industry still faces pressure to destock," said economists with China International Capital Corporation in a research note.
In the first half of the year CPI came in at 2.4 percent from the same period in 2012, the NBS said.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch economists Lu Ting and Zhi Xiaojia expected authorities to keep monetary policy neutral with "neither easing nor tightening".
"There will be no easing due to recognition of a slowdown in potential growth, the need for controlling debt growth and the task for taming rapidly (rising) home prices," they said.
Authorities have kept their growth target for this year at a conservative 7.5 percent, the same aim as 2012.
The government is due to release data on gross domestic products for the second quarter on Monday.

"I'm no expert but up close this does look like a plane and an oil slick," she wrote. "Prayers go out to the families #MH370 and its [sic] like a mile away [from] Pulau Perak, where they 'last' tracked it 5°39'08.5"N 98°50'38.0"E but what do I know?"
Her suggestion was quickly picked up by Rolling Stone, Gawker and elsewhere.
Yet the theory had been dismissed by Tomnod's sleuths several hours before Love's post.

Infinite Variety: Exploring the Folger Shakespeare LibraryEdited
by Esther Ferington
Folger Shakespeare Library, April 2002. 222 pp. $60 hardcover
In the spring of
his senior year, Henry Clay Folger (Class of 1879) attended a
lecture at Amherst College given by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Folger was so impressed
that he went on to read more by Emerson, including another speech in which
Emerson said, "Genius is the consoler of our mortal condition, and Shakespeare
taught us that the little world of the heart is vaster, deeper and richer than
the spaces of astronomy." Folger was so moved by these words that he
made it his life's mission "to collect in one place for posterity
not only the works of Shakespeare but also the works upon which he drew or
that alluded to him, and materials that conveyed the essence of his age." The
result was the establishment of the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington,
D.C., on April 23, 1932.
Infinite Variety is an impressive general description of the Folger Shakespeare
Library, which is administered by the Trustees of Amherst College. It explains
Henry Folger's fascination with Shakespeare, his desire for a research
library to house his book collection and his choice
of a site on Capitol Hill, in Washington, D.C., where scholars would have easy
access to its collections. It records the
library's evolution from a repository of Shakespeariana to a collection
encompassing the English and Continental early
modern age. It also documents the Folger Library's ties with Amherst
through the Amherst Board of Trustees, who continue to have responsibility
for it. Most important, however, Infinite Variety describes some of its incomparable
The Folger Library owns the largest Shakespeare collection in the world. The
collection, established by Henry and Emily Folger in the late 1800s, includes
79 of the extant 240 First Folios. (These are large volumes of Shakespeare's
collected works, published two years after his death. The First Folio, as it
was later called, contained 36 of Shakespeare's plays, 18 of which had
never before been printed and would otherwise have been lost.) In addition,
the library owns 200 quartos (small editions of the individual plays published
in the late 1500s and the early 1600s), as well as books about Shakespeare,
playbills, costumes, promptbooks, films and portraits. The text advises us, "Only
existing images are considered authentic likenesses of William Shakespeare:
memorial bust at Stratford and the engraving by Martin Droeshout for the 'Vincent' First
Folio." This volume, however, provides a generous sampling of the specious
portraits and explanations of how they were misattributed.
The Folger Shakespeare Library's holdings range well beyond works by
or about Shakespeare. For example, Elizabeth I's own copy of the Bishop's
Bible; the Caxton edition of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, 1477 (one of
just 10 known copies); Henry VIII's copy of Cicero inscribed, "Thys
Boke is Myne Prynce Henry"; and the
1494 Thomas à Kempis text bound in blind-tooled pigskin and equipped
an iron chain.
As a member of the Amherst Glee Club and the College Choir, Henry Folger developed
an appreciation for music that led him to collect early modern music, including
the compositions of the English lutanist John Dowland, who received an appointment
to the court of King James I in 1612. The handsome Harton lute from that
period is pictured as an example of the musical instruments in the Folger collection.
Members of the Folger Consort have performed early modern music at the Folger
Library since 1977. English scientific thought of the period is represented
the collection by such important works
as Newton's Philosophia Naturalis Principia Mathematica, 1687.
The book also describes how the Folger reaches out to the Washington community
and the general public with contemporary poetry readings, lectures, concerts,
exhibitions and programs for children. The recently dedicated Wyatt R. '61
and Susan N. Haskell Center for Education and Public Programs, located across
the street from the main building, facilitates this part of the Folger's
Editor Esther Ferington, Folger Librarian Richard Kuhta, Head of Reference
Dr. Georgianna Ziegler, and Head of Photography Julie Ainsworth have all contributed
to an attractive and highly successful book on one of the world's great
libraries. Infinite Variety is a book that is well worth reading and treasuring.

Urban-rural differences in dental caries of 5-year old children in Scotland
Previous research suggests there are significant differences between urban and rural areas in Scotland for health outcomes including heart disease, cancer and self reported health. The aim of this study was to describe the contemporary urban/rural variation in obvious decay experience amongst 5-year-olds in Scotland. Scotland was split into 6 geographies, ranging from 'The 4 Cities' (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen) to 'Remote Rural' areas. Data derived from the 2007/08 National Dental Inspection Programme, representative of the whole of Scotland, were modelled using Bayesian multilevel zero-inflated Negative Binomial and multilevel Poisson modelling, adjusting for age, sex and deprivation. The outcome variables modelled were d3mft (carious, extracted or filled deciduous teeth), d3t (carious teeth), mt (missing teeth, extracted due to caries) and ft (filled teeth). The proportion of 5-year old children in Scotland with d3mft = 0 was 58% in 2008. Adjusting for age and sex, the odds of a child in a Remote Rural area having d3mft>0 was 0.52 that of a city dweller. However, when deprivation was included in the model, the odds of having d3mft >0 rose to 0.74. The odds of d3mft>0 in 'Accessible Rural' areas also remained significantly lower than in the 4 Cities after adjustment for deprivation. For those with d3mft>0, the relative risk of additional d3mft was also significantly lower in Remote Rural areas, however this was explained by deprivation, while in Accessible Rural areas this remained significant even after adjustment for deprivation. The odds of having any extractions was lower in Rural areas, even after adjustment for deprivation, while the Care Index (ft/d3mft) was higher in Remote Towns. Deprivation, therefore, accounted for much but not all of the geographical difference in d3mft which exist in Scotland. Children in Remote and Rural areas appear to have better dental health and a higher proportion of filled teeth when compared with those living in Cities. Possible reasons for these differences and recommendations for future research are discussed.

The high school girl's tennis season came to an end for two the best players ever to play for Redlands High School.
The doubles team of Shyamlee Nanda and Hermehr Kaur were eliminated in the Round of 16 during Wednesday's CIF Individual Championships at the Seal Beach Tennis Center.
Nanda and Kaur lost 3-6, 4-6 to the University High School tandem of Danielle Pham and Yuki Asami, the Pacific Coast League doubles champion and the Round of 16's top seeded team.
"To draw the No. 1 seed is not the ideal scenario when you walk in," RHS coach Sean Comadena said. "We are dealing with some of the best tennis players in the country. We played OK early."
Nanda and Kaur were up 3-0, 40-0, in the fourth game of the second set but couldn't finish it off. Nanda and Kaur opened the first set with a 2-0 deficit and got as close as 3-4 before losing it.
"In tennis when you get down something like 3-love against top players, it is tough to come back," Comadena said. "It was just too much against a quality team like that."
Nanda and Kaur's match turned out to be the marquee encounter of the day.
"It was good, quality tennis," Comadena said. "Some of the doubles matches going on around us weren't of the same quality. I thought ours was better."
In the end the experience of the University team was the factor, especially in the big points.
"University plays some outstanding defense to keep the points going," Comadena said. "They got the momentum. After that, they had the confidence. We were one point from taking that (second set)."
Nanda will graduate as a four-time Citrus Belt League champion that led RHS to back-to-back CIF title matches. And Kaur's freshman season was prolific, Wednesday's doubles match was her only defeat of the season.
"Hermehr was just fantastic," Comadena said. "Shyamlee really stepped up her game. The two girls from University were battle tested more than us. But you can't fault our effort. I was real happy with the effort."

i am sitting with a problem i have recently bought a e30 bmw 93 model with automatic transmission.
Yesterday i started the car and it didn't want to go into reverse, so i pushed the car out and took a drive. When i started her up again she went into reverse, i put the car back into drive and drove off but it didn't want to shift to 2nd gear. i also tried going through the 1st 2nd and 3rd gear but nothing happend. its almost as if the car does not register it needs to change. what is the problem. where do i start????
Check the trans fluid and change the filter other then that i don't have much else. when it does shift is it a hard shift? Does it make any noise?
Sent from my PG06100 using Bimmer App
time to start thinking of a 5spd swap.
either the valves are starting to get gunked up and need to be cleaned (oil and filter change) or the pump and planetary gears are starting to show their age
Does not sound cheap. Try a good indy transmission shop first.
Any idea how much a garage will charge for changing the transmission oil and filter.
Usually not much but diy will save some money and its fairly easy
This captain goes down with the ship
I found changing the filter and fluid very, very easy.
step one, get a new filter and transmission pan seal.
step 2, drain the transmission by removing the drain plug
step 3, remove the fluid pan off the bottom the tranny, i think htere are 6 screws. (mine were really rusted so i ordered new ones)
step 4, remove the old filter, only 1 alen key screw holding it in
step 5, clean off the magnets in the bottom of the pan, install new filter and seal and put the pan back on.
get new fluid and fill it up.
super easy.
its about as easy as changing the oil, except with a few more screws.
What are the magnets in the trans pan for is it to keep any metal pieces( god forbid there are any) from flowing through?
This captain goes down with the ship
the magnets are for small shavings/filings that accumulate in the fluid. My car was very neglected and when i changed my filter i had a significant amount of filings on the magnets. my fluid was also a dark black sludge.
the PO really neglected the car leaving me with alot of work todo

As Australian debt market bankers trickle back to their desks ready to face 2011, they'll be encouraged by the progress made in 2010.
It was a ground-breaking year for Australian corporate bonds as more firms turned to the international capital markets for funding, local investors fought back while the topic of retail and covered bonds made their way into political debate – prompting important changes.
A number of key bond transactions captured the trends that emerged in 2010 and will set the tone for 2011. Here are five of the most important deals of the year.
1. Santos €650 million perpetual hybrid (September 2010)
The South Australian-based oil and gas firm needed equity to fund its ambitious Gladstone LNG project but was eager to avoid issuing dilutive capital. The solution pitched by its bankers UBS and Deutsche Bank was a hybrid bond issue sold into the Europe debt markets. By virtue of some nifty structuring and the historical quirk that
The stand-out feature of the issue was the significant cost saving by issuing hybrids. Santos' paid around 6 to 7 per cent for the equity after accounting for the tax deduction, versus 13 per cent calculated cost of equity capital – prompting Santos to increase the issue twice to €1 billion - touching the limit allowed by the rating agencies.
After the deal, the structure was pitched extensively to other large Australian with pressing capital needs. The 100 per cent equity credit might be difficult to replicate but the Santos issue served as a reminder of the benefits of hybrids capital in the corporate funding mix.
2. Fortescue Metals Group's $US2.05 billion high-yield bond (October 2010)
Thanks to the Fed's quantitative easing, the high-yield bond market exploded in 2010. As intended, QE drove down bond yields to record low levels, which in turn lowered corporate borrowing costs and forced risk-averse investors to chase returns in the high yield market.
The most remarkable aspect was the pricing that Fortescue, as a "junk"-rated borrower, could achieve: a rate of 7 per cent for five-year bonds. Freed off the terms of its existing financing, Fortescue wasted no time in tapping the market again for $US1.5 billion, paying an even lower margin of 6.5 per cent for the five-year debt.
Fortescue's foray demonstrated the vibrancy and value of global high-yield bond market to Australian firms in the resource sector and beyond. But the high cost charged to "junk"-rated companies to switch proceeds through currency swaps will limit the market to those that require US-dollar funds.
3. CIBC's $750 million domestic covered bond (October 2010)
Australian banks have been pushing regulators for several years to be allowed to issue covered bonds, as a cheaper and diverse form of funding. The prudential regulator, however, has been adamant that covered bonds contravene the banking act and conflict with the rights of depositors. But bank funding was a topic of national debate in 2010 and the argument for covered bonds got full attention.
New Zealand's regulators have no problem with covered bonds – prompting NAB subsidiary Bank of New Zealand to successfully trial covered bonds.
However, it was a $750 million issue by Canada's CIBC in the local banks' own backyard and at a low margin that glaringly exposed how Australian regulators had left local banks at a distinct funding disadvantage.
The bond issue was cited on numerous occasions by politicians, analysts and banks in their push for covered bonds, culminating in a December announcement that new legislation would be tabled.
4. SP Ausnet's $300 million, 7.5-year domestic bond (March 2010)
The local corporate bond market's lack of diversity has long been a source of disappointment for investors and companies hoping to avoid heading offshore for funding. The key weakness has been a lack of demand for long-dated bonds with tenors beyond five years with which companies seek to extend their debt maturity profiles.
More corporate borrowers have since followed. APA Group, Macquarie University and Stockland issued tightly priced 10 year deals - further demonstrating that the local corporate bond market can offer genuine funding options.
5. Primary Health Care's $152.3 million retail bond (August 2010)
The drive to support the development retail corporate bonds gathered momentum in 2010 and even made its way into Treasurer Wayne Swan's budget speech. Goodwill was in abundance as retail bonds were seen as the way for companies to diversify funding away from their banks whilst providing "mum and dad" investors with a safer investment alternative to equities.
A series of reforms were introduced to ease the documentation burden for corporate borrowers -but there was little take-up until
There was no "feel-good" factor behind Primary's bond issue – which it used to repay bank facilities that were running close to their limits. It didn't have many options as an unrated company with no access to local and international bond markets.
Primary's deal was also criticised because the return was deemed to be low while the subordination of the bonds to the firm's existing bank loans was not initially obvious to retail investors.
Only one other retail issue followed before the end of the year – Commonwealth Bank of Australia's experiment with its $570 million of five-year bonds. But the Primary deal showed that despite the government's best efforts the market is likely to be sporadic and limited to non-rated firms with limited funding options.

Friedel gets US gong
By Chris Bergin (ussocceruk.com)
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Friedel emerged as the first choice keeper - above Tottenham's Kasey Keller - for the US in the run-up to the 2002 World Cup, with the Rovers stopper carrying on from his impressive showings in the Premiership to help the US reach the quarter-finals.
The former Columbus Crew keeper and 1997 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year has received glowing reviews all year from managers around the Premiership, being called "Superman" by one and the "best goalkeeper in the league" by several others, including manager Graeme Souness.
"2002 was a great year for me, but I hope to keep my feet on the ground, keep working hard and hope to have many more," said Friedel. "Over the last three years, I can't complain. I've been very happy since I came to Blackburn. I've worked hard and been very fortunate."
Convey played for both the Under-23 and the Under-20 national teams in 2002. In November, he captained the Under-20s as they qualified for a record fourth consecutive World Championship in Charleston.
In just his second full year with DC United, the 19-year-old scored five goals in the 2002 league campaign, showing maturity in what was another a season-long struggle for the three-times former MLS champions.

Debbie Cole has a 110-pound walker hound and it needs to go for a good run before it goes for its daily walk.
The Deer Lake woman can't wait for the town to open up its planned dog park so four-year-old Koda can get his much needed exercise in.
Cole was one of five citizens who joined a handful of Deer Lake town council and staff for a public meeting on the proposed dog park.
The park will be located on the infield of the baseball field at Schwartz Park. The diamond will be split into two areas, one for smaller dogs under 30 pounds and one for bigger pups like energetic Koda.
"I think it's wonderful and it's long overdue," said Cole after hearing more about the park and participating in the discussion about it.
The two areas for large and small breeds will both be the same size. They will be triangular and each will measure 150 x 175 x 125 feet.
Each area will also have its own exit and entrance with double gates so owners can safely unleash or leash their dogs prior to entering and as they leave the park.
Facilitated by Junior Pinksen, the Town of Deer Lake's recreation director, most of the meeting revolved around the setup and the proposed rules for the park. Pinksen said the town will adopt standard rules used at most other dog parks he has looked into across the country.
While there will be a sign posted at the park outlining those rules, it was mentioned that some people may not read them all. One suggestion was made that resident dog owners be asked to sign a copy of the rules, acknowledging they have read them, when they get their dog's licence renewed.
It was generally accepted that no children should be permitted inside the gates, but there was some talk about how old a person should be in order to be inside the area.
Pinksen is hoping the dog park can be operational by the end of September. The town has put the construction of the park out to tender and is expecting a shipment of poles and fencing this week.
He figured it would take about a week to construct the park.

Have Pediatric Questions? Ask a Pediatrician.
thanks for using justanswer
only 2 bowel movements in 8 days is surely a sign of constipation
Miralax osmotic laxative is surely going to help him if you have started it just yesterday
the diet of yoghurt coconut milk will also help
If the child has significant abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, fever, or bloody diarrhea he or she needs to see a doctor immediately. Many of these symptoms can be related to constipation
would that cause the foul smelling gas
foul smelling gas is ofcourse due to the stool being present for many days in the bowel
the bacteria work on the food and produce the foul gases
Some medications can make children more likely to be constipated. Common contributors include over-the-counter cold medications and antacids. Antidepressants, anticonvulsants, chemotherapy medications, or narcotic pain medications (such as codeine) can also constipate.
is ther any foods we should not give him
he's been on a banana kick where he eats like 4 or 5 a day
Vegetables that are particularly high in fiber include beans, especially baked, kidney, navy, pinto and lima beans, sweet potatoes, peas, turnip greens and raw tomatoes.
Other foods that are good for children with constipation include vegetable soups (lots of fiber and added fluid), and popcorn. Extra bran can also be helpful, including bran cereals, bran muffins, shredded wheat, graham crackers, and whole wheat bread.
try to avoid ginger garlic spices and fried foods
he is on the gf-cf diet for his autism
Do you Accept my thoughts?
a gf cf diet itself can cause constipation
for a few days changes in diet would be need to be made
hes been on this diet for 2 years with onlky occasional bouts of constipation but never with this gas problem
Inherited diseases such as cystic fibrosis cause poor absorption of nutrients through the intestine. Stools become more bulky as well as greasy and foul smelling. Foul-smelling flatulence will also occur. Other malabsorption diseases such as celiac diseases have similar symptoms. Other common causes of foul-smelling gas and stools in children include giardia, a protozoan infection often present in unclean water that's passed through the fecal-oral route, and rotavirus, a virus that produces copious amounts of foul-smelling diarrhea. Children who have a bacterial infection in the intestine may produce foul-smelling gas, because bacteria in the intestine release sulfur-containing gases that can cause foul-smelling flatulence. Eating foods that produce excess gas, like beans and cabbage, also causes foul-smelling gas.
A sudden increase in foul-smelling gas may indicate a temporary problem that will resolve when the noxious substance exits the intestine, whether a food, bacteria or virus is to blame. Foul-smelling gas that persists or that occurs along with other symptoms requires prompt medical evaluation.
Do you Accept my thoughts on your granchilds condition?
he went to doctor yesterday and they said they didnt
I have a feeling the Miralax and the diet you have mentioned will surely help
the fermentation and the work of the intestine flora on the food causes the smell
so you should observe after miralax and above diet
how long for miralax to start working
it take 24 to 72 hours
it should be taken for maximum 7 days
half a cap each day
thank you. could yeast overgrowth cause these symptoms
yes yeast overgrowth can also cause symptoms of foul smell , you need to send a sample of the stool to the lab for test to confirm this
however it can cause constipation with bouts of diarrhea and abdominal pain
he cannot talk so it makes it very hard to understand what is going on with this sweet boy
i can understand
its very difficult to judge symptoms too
so it would be best to wait for Miralax to work
and look out for the any new symptoms
Do you Accept my thoughts on your condition?
If you Agree with the Answer you can press the Green Accept Button below. You can also consider a feedback or a Bonus as a credit to my work . Let me know if you have any further questions. The Answers cannot replace the advice on clinical examination.

On saturday, I landed decode-on-draw (bug 435296). Windows saw a 9% Tp4 win, Mac OS saw a 17% Tp4 regression, and linux saw no Tp4 change. Clearly, the Mac numbers are scary. We initially thought it was related to the strategy implemented in bug 512435 being pessimal in a synthetic Tp situation. To experiment, Joe and I closed the tree and pushed a patch (well, a patch and a followup) that immediately kicked off decode when the first data became available. In other words, we were using all of the new code and machinery, but forcing a "decode-on-load" strategy. Unfortunately, the numbers didn't seem to change. I then pushed 2 patches. 1 to set gDecodeOnDraw=PR_FALSE,gDiscardable=PR_TRUE, and a second to set gDecodeOnDraw=PR_FALSE,gDiscardable=PR_FALSE. The rationale for the second patch was that setting gDecodeOnDraw to false (by itself) _should_ be very similar in performance to the "instant request strategy" that had no effect. If gDiscardable is also set to false, we skip storing source data altogether, so the code paths change a lot. Unfortunately, there was a Tp4 freeze with the first patch (half on half off), which I'm going to file a bug for shortly. However, the second patch fixed the regression, so we landed it as bug 516311. Thus, decode-on-draw and discarding are both switched off on trunk. This bug is for figuring out the mac os perf issue and hopefully turning it back on.

Hopefully fixed the Tp4 freeze with off/on in bug 516486. Pushed to try in 856728ef02d0, so maybe we'll see numbers soon.
Comment 2•

the code in bug 517091 looks promising. Waiting on numbers from try.
Comment 3•
8 years ago
According to try bug 517091 should do the trick. I just pushed it to central, but we won't see the results immediately because we don't want to re-enable discarding until we fix the flickering issues. It would also be nice to have a look at bug 502694 and bug 517119, but those don't have to happen immediately since we've always lived with them (ie, they aren't regressions). I'll resolve this fixed once we turn discarding back on and verify that there aren't problems on central.

As far as I can tell on try, there's no longer any performance penalty of activating the discarding machinery (the most I see is 1%). Resolving this as fixed.
