Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/4/2013 (1582 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The NDP said Tuesday the increase in the provincial sales tax should let Manitoba take advantage of Ottawa's new version of the Building Canada Fund for infrastructure.
The Selinger government said in last week's budget it needs to boost the PST by one percentage point to eight per cent, in part to spend some of the additional money on heath-care infrastructure such as expanding hospitals and personal-care home space. The NDP predicts it will earn about $300 million in new revenue in the first full year of implementation of the hike.
Health Minister Theresa Oswald has said one reason the government is under pressure to increase spending on health-care infrastructure is because the previous version of the Harper government's Building Canada Fund (BCF) excluded health-care facilities.
"Frankly, we're on our own because the federal government has explicitly excluded including any health capital in any of their stimulus or (other) kind of funding, which we view to be in error," Oswald said. "We're on our own."
Oswald was speaking Monday at a news conference to highlight $2.1 million in funding to create more training positions for nurses.
Premier Greg Selinger said Ottawa will make the rules for a new version of Building Canada known to the provinces shortly.
The Building Canada Fund was launched in 2007 with $8.8 billion. Manitoba's share was about $500 million and was used for projects including finishing the Red River Floodway expansion and the Waverley West arterial road. The most recent project is the expansion of the Winnipeg Convention Centre. The new $14-billion program is to be in place and ready to go soon so projects can begin in the 2014 construction season.
Selinger has said proceeds from the tax hike will go into the new Manitoba Building and Renewal Fund to spend on what the NDP calls "critical infrastructure" -- anything from an expansion of a hospital, university or personal-care home to a repaved highway to massive new flood protection recommended in a recent review on the 2011 flood. The tax increase will be tied to a time limit of 10 years that allows the province to tap dollar for dollar into the BCF.
Under already announced conditions, the 10-year BCF is to support projects of national significance, highways, public transit, local and regional airports, trade corridor-related infrastructure, waste-water treatment and connecting more communities to broadband. Disaster mitigation, such as new flood-prevention projects, might be eligible.
The province is also faced with a declining level of federal transfer payments it can use toward health-care-related projects, such as building more personal-care home spaces.
In 2009-10, the per capita level of major federal transfers was $2,749. The per capita level is forecast to be $2,623 in 2013-14, an overall decline of 4.5 per cent, the province says.
The NDP is also attempting to eliminate its half-billion-dollar deficit by 2016-17.
Tories offer new questions for PST-hike referendum
THE NDP could get more bang for its buck on a PST-hike referendum by adding two more questions, Progressive Conservative Leader Brian Pallister said Tuesday.
Besides asking whether a majority of Manitobans supported a one-percentage-point increase of the provincial sales tax to eight per cent, Pallister said voters should also be asked whether they support the scrapping of the Taxpayer Protection Act and whether they support Manitoba Hydro being expanded by the NDP to export more electricity to customers in the United States.
"These are major issues that matter greatly to the future of our province," Pallister said. "I think there's a lot of merit in letting the people of Manitoba make decisions on issues of this nature."
Pallister made his comments shortly before his MLAs launched a procedural delay in the legislature that has delayed by one day the vote to accept Finance Minister Stan Struthers' budget. Nine days are set aside for MLAs to debate the budget and each delay cuts into time required for other legislative matters such as the budget-estimates process in which opposition MLAs quiz government ministers on spending and policy decisions in their departments.
The Tories are angry the NDP's Bill 20, to green-light the tax hike, will do away with a Tory-inspired provision in the Taxpayer Protection Act to hold a referendum on major tax increases. Pallister was an MLA in the Filmon government 18 years ago when the Balanced Budget, Debt Repayment and Taxpayer Protection Act was introduced.
Pallister said the additional two questions would make a referendum more cost-effective. A ballpark cost of such a referendum is about $10 million to $12 million.
Pallister also said Manitobans should have a say on all three issues instead of being left out of the debate by the NDP.
"I trust the judgment of Manitobans and fundamentally don't think it's right to create a false sense of urgency and emergency based on the government's own lack of preparedness," Pallister said. "Now they're telling you they have to raise PST and other taxes for things they ignored for 13 years."
But the chances of a such a multi-question referendum being held are nil.
The Selinger New Democrats say they need the new tax hike to put about $300 million in full-year revenue into their coffers and they need to have it effective July 1, without a referendum. The NDP says it plans to use the money to boost infrastructure spending at a time when Canada's economy is starting to slow, and to build new flood-protection projects in western Manitoba. The NDP has also said it wants to erase its half-billion-dollar deficit by 2016-17.
The NDP also supports increasing the generating capacity of Manitoba Hydro over the next decade to increase export sales to the northern U.S. The roughly $20-billion plan includes building the Keeyask and Conawapa dams in northern Manitoba and the Bipole III transmission line down the west side of the province.

Notperk - Monday, November 05, 2012 - linkWouldn't it be better to compare these CPUs to Intel's E7 series enterprise server CPUs? I ask this, because of how technically an Opteron 6386 SE is two CPUs in one. Therefore, two of these would actually be four CPUs and would be a direct competitor (at least in terms of class) to four E7-4870s. If you went even further, four of those Opterons would be a competitor to eight E7-8870s. I understand that, performance wise, these are more similar to the E5s, but it just makes more sense to me to place them higher as enterprise server CPUs. Reply
MrSpadge - Monday, November 05, 2012 - linkIt's actually the other way around: there may be 2 dies inside each CPU, but even combined they get less work done than the Intel chips in most situations. However, comparing a 4-socket Opti system with a 2-socket Intel system, which cost approximately the same to purchase, can get very interesting: massive memory capacity and bandwidth, lot's of threads for integer throughput and quite a few FPUs. With the drawback of much higher running costs through electricity costs, of course. Reply
leexgx - Tuesday, November 06, 2012 - linkHappy that the reviewer correctly got the module/cores right (as the Integer cores are more like hyper threading but not)
in any case should compare the amd modules count to intel cpu cores
(amd should be marketing them the same way, 4 module cpus with core assist, that are slower or the same as an phenom x4 real world use, its like saying an i7 is an 8 core cpu when its about the same speed of an i5 that lacks HT) Reply

thebluephoenix - Tuesday, November 06, 2012 - linkE7 is nehalem, old technology. E5-2687W and E5-2690 are actual competition (~Double 2600K vs ~Double FX-8350) Reply
JohanAnandtech - Tuesday, November 06, 2012 - linkMinor nitpick: E7 is Westmere, improved Nehalem.
But E5 is indeed the real competition. E7 is less about performance/Watt, but more about RAS and high scalability (corecounts of 40, up to 80 threads) Reply
alpha754293 - Monday, November 05, 2012 - linkI don't know if I would say that. Course, I'm biased because I'm somewhat in HPC. But I think that the HPC will also give an idea of how well (or how poorly) a highly multi-threaded/multi-processor capable/aware application is going to perform.
In some HPC cases, having more integer cores is probably going to be WORSE since it's still fighting for FPU resources. And that running it on more processors isn't always necessarily better either (higher intercore communication traffic). Reply
MrSpadge - Monday, November 05, 2012 - linkIf you compare a 4-socket Opti to a 2-socket Intel (comparable purchase cost) you can get massive memory bandwidth, which might be enough to tip the scale in Optis favor in some HPC applications. They need to profit from many cores and require this bandwdith, though.
Personally for genereal HPC jobs I prefer less cores with higher IPC and clock speed (i.e. Intel), as they're more generally useful. Reply
alpha754293 - Friday, November 09, 2012 - linkI can tell you from experience that it really depends on the type of HPC workload.
For FEA, if you can store the large matrices in the massive amount of memory that the Opterons can handle (upto 512 GB for a quad-socket system) - it can potentially help*.
*You have to disable swap so that you don't get bottlenecked by the swap I/O performance.
Then you'd really be able to rock 'n roll being able to solve the matrices entirely in-core.
For molecular dynamics though - it's not really that memory intensive (compared to structural mechanics FEA) but it's CPU intensive.
For CFD, that's also very CPU intensive.
And even then it also depends too on how the solvers are written and what you're doing.
CFD - you need to pass the pressure, velocity, and basically the information/state information about the fluid parcel from one cell to another; so if you partition the model at the junction and you need to transfer information from one cell on one core on one socket to another core sitting on another CPU sitting in another physical socket - then it's memory I/O limited. And most commercial CFD codes that I know of that enables MPI/MPP processing - they actually do somewhat of a local remesh at the partition boundaries so they actually create extra elements just to facilitate the data information transfer/exchange (and to make sure that the data/information is stable).
So there's a LOT that goes into it.
Same with crash safety simulations and explicit dynamics structural mechanics (like LS-DYNA) because that's an energy solver, so what happens to one element will influence what happens at your current element and that in turn will influence what happens at the next element. And for LS-DYNA, *MPP_DECOMPOSITION_<OPTION> can further tell how you want the problem to be broken down specifically (and you can do some pretty neat stuff with it) in order to make the MPI/MPP solver even more efficient.
If you have a problem where what happens with one doesn't really have that much of an impact on another element (such as fatigue analysis - done at the finite element level) - you can process all of the elements individually, so having lots of cores means you can run it at lot faster.
But for problems where there's a lot of "bi-directional" data/communication (hypersonic flow/shock wave for example) - then I THINK (if I remember correctly), the communication penalty is something like O(n^2) or O(n^3). So the CS side to an HPC problem is trying to optimize between these two. Run as many cores as possible, with as little communication as possible (so it doesn't slow you down), as fast as possible, as independently possible, and pass ONLY the information you NEED to pass along, WHEN you need to pass it along and try and do as much of it in-core as possible.
And then to throw a wrench into that whole thing - the physics of the simulations basically is a freakin' hurricane on that whole parade (the physics makes a lot of that either very difficult or near impossible or outright impossible). Reply
JohanAnandtech - Monday, November 05, 2012 - linkI would not even dream of writing that! HPC software can be so much more fun than other enterprise software: no worries about backup or complex High Availability setups. No just focussing on performance and enjoying the power of your newest chip.
I was talking about the HPC benchmarks that AMD reports. Not all HPC benchmarks can be recompiled and not all of them will show such good results with FMA. Those are very interesting, but they only give a very limited view.
For the rest: I agree with you. Reply
gamoniac - Tuesday, November 06, 2012 - linkOn top of that, there is licensing costs. Windows Server 2012, for example, can be licensed per processor rather than by core count. That that comes into play, it can quickly inflate the TCO when comparing 4-socket vs 2-socket servers. Reply
alpha754293 - Friday, November 09, 2012 - linkThere are a lot of programs that have different licensing methods.
Ansys is per core.
Windows actually makes it potentially quite cost effective - especially if you're running a virtualization server because you can throw a lot of VM tiles on a 8-module(?) Opteron 6300 so while you might have to pay more for the additional sockets, it might save you money because you don't have to run twice the number of servers to handle the same number of VM tiles. It really depends on what you're doing with it.
(I think that Enterprise Linux is also licensed in the same way (per socket).) Reply
alpha754293 - Friday, November 09, 2012 - linkuhh....it depends.
For some of our larger runs (both at my work and also my CFD runs at home, and also the research that I used to be doing for the university) - we had to write restart files on a regular interval in the event that something goes wrong or the power goes out or something like that.
That's our kind of "backup". Although unlike say...the financial sector where they want five 9's uptime, (99.99999%), our restriction isn't THAT bad, but the professional HPC centers will have HA of some kind implemented.
I think that you saw the last time that you ran the LS-DYNA benchmarks on the Opteron 6274 that the way that AMD are counting the cores (integer cores, not FP cores) - means that there was only like 7-8% performance benefit for HPC applications (which isn't much given twice the "core" count).
The FPU itself runs into something akin to thread contention issues. (It still boils down to fighting for FPU resources).
But if say...for example, you have a properly, well coded Photoshop - and they are learning on how to write MPP codes from HPC, it can take what they already do quite well, and make it run even better. Fewer cores perhaps, but if the cores ARE available, it will know how to best break up the problem so that it would be able to better run the same task in parallel vs. the more like...quasi-parallel (multi-threaded) approach that a lot of these programs use nowadays.
(Imagine if you're batch processing images and it's able to spawn multiple instances of the batch solver/processor so that you can work on multiple images at the same time rather than working on them one at a time, but working on them in a multi-threaded manner.)
Or imagine if the Flash plugin was multi-core capable/aware so when you have 146 tabs, it doesn't crash your browser session. ;o) (Oh the joys of being a researcher.) Reply
Kevin G - Monday, November 05, 2012 - linkAny idea when these will hit e-tail? I have a dual socket G34 board that two Opteron 6320 or two 6374's would be a good match. Still have decided between high clock and high core count. When you get up to 32 simultaneous threads, things really start to hit diminishing returns. Reply
MySchizoBuddy - Monday, November 05, 2012 - linkAll of the new opteron chips can be used in 4P configurations. While none of the listed Xeons can. Can you add the Xeons that work in 4P configurations as well. Reply
Stuka87 - Monday, November 05, 2012 - linkXeons that work in Quad Socket configs cost significantly more and do not really compete with the Opterons.
But it would be interesting to see the cost to performance difference between the two. Reply
Kjella - Monday, November 05, 2012 - linkRight under "AMD Opteron 6300 versus 6200 SKUs" the leftmost column says Xeon E5, where it should say Opteron 6300. Anyway, now AMD can't even get a review sample out the door? Seriously? Either they're too incompetent or the benchmarks would be too embarrassing, either way it's not good. Reply
PsiAmp - Tuesday, November 06, 2012 - linkWhy are you comparing two CPUs that have 64% price difference and say cheaper one has 12% less performance and is not attractive?
You need to compare products of similar price points. Or take into account price difference, which you didn't mention at all. Reply
JohanAnandtech - Tuesday, November 06, 2012 - linkCan you be more specific and tell me which CPU comparison you are talking about? The CPUs I compared had a 4 to 15% price difference ( 6386 SE vs 2665 or 6366HE vs 2630L). Reply
DeaDSOuLz - Monday, November 12, 2012 - linkStrange I have had 2 Opteron 6376 for about 3 weeks. So getting them out early shouldn't have been an issue. Of course I bought about 2 thousand of the 6274 of the last 12 months, may have something to do with it. Reply
dig23 - Wednesday, December 12, 2012 - linkCan anybody tell me what is the Family and model number for Piledriver Abudhabi (opteron 6300) ?? and how to find for other models...
and could not find BKDG for same ...any help is appreciated ? Reply

HOUSTON - Children were rescued from a day care in Spring and a summer camp in northwest Harris County on Thursday.
Floodwaters surrounded Sandlot Sports on Mueschke Road north of the Northwest Freeway.
"We looked out the windows and saw all this water around us," one boy attending summer camp said. "My brother was saying, 'I don't think we're going to get out today.'"
The Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department said 15 children and several adults were trapped inside the building.
Firefighters used boats to get everyone to higher ground. The children were reunited with their parents.
"They called us at 2 o'clock and said we're holding on to your kids, it's not safe,'" said Steve Aldrich, whose daughter Chelsea was at the camp.
"They're very organized, calm and it all seems under control," one mother said about the firefighters.
Cy-Fair volunteer firefighters said they rescued 20 people from Sandlot. 15 kids ranging in age from 5 to 12 and 5 adults.
The Learning Center on Glenloch in Spring had about 50 children in their facility when floodwaters crept up.
"I was very scared," The Learning Center employee Doris Moore said. "Not for us, the day care, but for the kids, the people around us."
Elisabeth Keng used her husband's big pickup truck to carry out truckloads of children. She made about 10 trips through the water.
"Very thankful. I wouldn't know what to do if she wasn't there to get all the kids," parent Jessica Galvan said of Keng. "I would really like to tell her thank you for doing that."
No injuries were reported at either facility.

Star Wars Death Star Bluetooth levitating rotating speaker review
So we may have got a bit excited at the announcement of this device from Plox. But it's quite natural to regress to a small child when something like this comes along. Yes it's a levitating Death Star speaker and yes you (and/or your kids) will probably want one. Yes Christmas is coming and yes, it's $250. That's not cheap. So is it worth buying?

By Cal Media RelationsPosted Dec 19, 2012If by BearInsider Staff or Contributor, this article is Copyright © 2017 BearInsider.com
BERKELEY - Cal has signed junior college defensive ends Kyle Kragen (Danville, CA/Diablo Valley College/San Ramon Valley HS) and Sione Sina (Elk Grove, CA/College of San Mateo/Monterey Trail HS) to National Letters of Intent to join the Golden Bears' football program. Both will enroll at Cal in January of 2013.
Kragen exploded onto the scene during his two-year stay at Diablo Valley College (2011-12), where he earned first-team All-Mid-Empire League and team MVP honors on the defensive side of the ball as a 2012 sophomore, recording 14.5 sacks to lead the league and break the single-season school record previously held by USC standout Morgan Breslin. Kragen also totaled 65 tackles, 17.0 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in his sophomore campaign while leading DVC to a season-ending East Bay Bowl victory. Kragen had 76 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, 5.0 sacks and six fumble recoveries as a 2011 freshman at DVC after using his greyshirt season in 2010. His 83 tackles as a 2009 senior to earn honorable mention All-East Bay Athletic League honors highlighted his prep career.
"Kyle is an exciting and relentless player who plays with tremendous effort all of the time, uses his hands well and is a terrific pass rusher," Dykes said. "He's also a great fit for Cal academically and socially. It's a great situation."
Sina, who was given four stars by ESPN, had 28 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks last season after registering 38 stops, 8.5 tackles for loss and 6.0 sacks as a 2011 freshman. His top prep season came as a junior when he recorded 51 tackles, 4.0 sacks, four passes defended and three fumble recoveries.
"Sione is a guy who is coming off a knee injury but we think that he will rehab really well because he's such a good athlete," Dykes said. "He's a versatile player who is capable of playing several positions and has a tremendous upside."
Kragen and Sina are the first announced signees of Cal's 2013 recruiting class. The midyear junior college transfer signing period for prospective student-athletes enrolling for 2013-14 that began Wednesday continues through January 15, 2013. The 2013 National Signing Day that kicks off the regular signing period is on February 6.
Dykes will begin his first season as Cal's head coach with three consecutive home games at the recently renovated Memorial Stadium when the Bears open their 2013 campaign against Northwestern (August 31), Portland State (September 7) and Ohio State (September 14). Cal will have a total of seven home games on its 2013 docket, also playing Pac-12 opponents Arizona, Oregon State, USC and Washington State at Memorial Stadium. The team will play five conference road games at Colorado, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA and Washington.
The Pac-12 is expected to announce dates for all conference games in early January. All television broadcast information and kickoff times will also be announced at later dates.

One of our chic and stylish staffers here at Wedding Paper Divas recently returned from her gorgeous destination wedding in Hawaii. Upon her return, she sent out all her thank you cards in prompt diva style, but she ended up with a stack of leftover thank you notes that were simply too cute to toss.
Her solution was to turn all those leftover notes into lovely little recipe cards! She loves to bake and is a Food Network addict, so she started jotting down her favorite recipes on the blank notes and handing them out to family and friends. They are a fun, fashionable and highly useful way to get mileage out of your wedding stationery long after your nuptials have passed.
What did you do with your leftover thank you cards?

The number of A* to C grades achieved by Sutton students in this year's GCSE exams has come in at 78.6 per cent- down from 95.6 per cent in 2013.
Despite that the figure is still well above the national average of 68.8 per cent- maintaining the borough's reputation for having some of the best schools in the country.
Exam regulator Ofqual told people to expect a higher variability in results, owing to changes in the way exams are taken.
A Sutton Council spokesperson said: "Our assessment is that the results decrease is due to the reforms implemented to the exam system.
"Results have been very varied across every local authority in London."
Across the UK there has been an overall increase in A* to C grades, with the average figure of 68.8 per cent up seven per cent on last summer, but there has been a sharp fall in the number of English GCSEs obtained.
One of the main alterations to the system is a return to linear exams, whereby students sit tests at the end of two years, rather than at various points during their course.
In English, speaking and listening parts of the module no longer contribute to the final grade.
One aspect of the changes that may have had a positive impact on the figures, is that less students are now encouraged to sit their exams early- a culture that is deemed not to be in the pupil's favour.
For a breakdown of the different GCSE results across Sutton schools, please see the entries below from yesterday's live feed.

Beloved doctors Roger and Elizabeth Velasquez retiring
Published: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 4:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 12, 2012 at 4:09 p.m.
Their wide smiles seem synchronized, and they cut into each other's sentences, as the cliche goes, as if they could finish them for each other.
But unlike most married couples, Drs. Roger and Elizabeth Velasquez, physicians at Gainesville's Southeastern Primary Care, also spend most of their working hours together.
"We've been married as long as we've been practicing medicine," Elizabeth said. And now, after nearly 40 years, the Velasquezes, both age 62 and born a month apart (he's older), are retiring together at the end of the month.
"When our daughter was young, people used to ask her if she wanted to be a doctor like her mom and dad, and she said, 'No, because I never see my mother or my father!'" said Elizabeth. "One of our motives for early retirement is to spend more time with our grandchildren."
The Velazquezes will head south, to Miami, to be near their daughter, also Elizabeth, and her growing family in Fort Lauderdale.
Elizabeth and Roger met in 1970, as medical students in their native Nicaragua. Roger was studying ophthalmology and Elizabeth, internal medicine. They married four years later, and then moved to Miami to do a post-graduate course. The Sandinista Revolution was just starting, so they decided to stay in the U.S. and moved to New York City for more training. They ended up staying in the city for nearly a decade and then left for the little town of Keystone Heights in Florida. Opening their own practice in Melrose followed, and then they discovered Gainesville.
"There weren't any movie theaters or restaurants there so people said to go to Gainesville. That's how we started coming to Gainesville," Roger said.
By the time they decided to move to Gainesville, the Velasquezes had a large following of patients in Melrose, Starke and Palatka who would travel to continue to be seen by them.
Jonnie Sue Kelley, 75, of Bell, has been seeing Elizabeth for about 15 years. Kelley's mother was Elizabeth's patient, and now Kelley's whole family is cared for by Roger or Elizabeth.
Kelley recalls the first time she went to Elizabeth. "I was having a mild heart attack in her office and was trying to hide it. Dr. Elizabeth immediately took care of me, and sent me to a cardiologist, and several days later, I had open heart surgery," Kelley said. "She's very intelligent and likes to go to the heart of the matter.
"I'm not sure I'd be alive if it hadn't been for her."
Kelley said the personal touch is what distinguishes Elizabeth and Roger from other doctors.
"Last year I was in the hospital for Thanksgiving, and she even stopped by before her Thanksgiving dinner," Kelley said. Another time that Kelley was in the hospital, Roger stopped by. "I can remember him saying to me, 'We are praying for you.' And that meant a lot to me."
The Velasquezes are very religious, and many call them humble. They start every day with 7 a.m. Mass at Holy Faith Catholic Church near their clinic at 4343 Newberry Road.
"That's where we get our strength to do long hours. We have to be grateful for everything we've done," Elizabeth said.
That spirit of gratitude -- and service -- ultimately drives them. When they first moved to Florida and worked in the small towns, "we used to do almost everything: house calls, nursing homes," Roger said. "We enjoyed all that and are grateful that we've been able to serve."
Elizabeth said that she learned compassion from her father, also a physician.
"Growing up I remember there were people who couldn't pay so when they got better they'd come back with eggs or a chicken," Elizabeth said. "For me to be a physician is not just a profession. It's a calling. I love what I do."
Roger echoes that sentiment: "You don't have to do great things in life … but small things with great love."
That love comes out in how the Velasquezes care for their patients. "Their magic is in how caring they are with their patients. It sticks with patients, and they keep coming back," said Dr. Clarisol Martinez, who will inherit some of the Velasquezes' patients at Southeastern Primary Care. Importantly, many of those patients are native Spanish speakers with whom the Velasquezes have been able to communicate in their language. That's something Martinez, originally from Puerto Rico, can continue.
"A person is not just a body, but a soul, and our effort is to see the whole person," said Roger, who with his long fingers laced together and resting on his stomach, seems relaxed and patrician, where Elizabeth is quick to comment and tears up thinking about leaving her patients.
Elizabeth has focused mostly on women's care, and Roger's niche has been elder care. "Working with the elderly has helped me gain perspective in life and see where I'm going," Roger said.
Between the two of them, the Velasquezes count more than 3,000 patients -- and many graduations, weddings and other life landmarks of their patients that they've shared over the years.
"I can't tell you how many friends I've sent to (Elizabeth), and everyone has stayed with her," Kelley said.
"The whole city of Gainesville and surrounding counties … everyone who has them as a patient is going to terribly miss them," Kelley said.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Last year a deadly superbug spread through the nation's leading research hospital, killing six patients before it could be stopped.
Scientists at the National Institutes of Health hospital in Bethesda, Md., scrubbed with bleach, locked down patients and even ripped out plumbing. In the end, it took gene detectives analyzing the germ's DNA to trace it to its source. It came from a New York City patient who was admitted for a medical study.
Infections like that at health care facilities claim an estimated 99,000 lives a year. No hospital is immune. The NIH on Wednesday published an unusually candid account of its outbreak in Science Translational Medicine. Researchers say the new gene technology may help other hospitals as they struggle to contain the growing threat of superbugs.

CANOGA PARK - A man's body was found in a burned-out business that went up in flames in Canoga Park early Thursday. | PHOTOS
"We are removing a body from the location. I can confirm that," Lt. Larry Dietz of the coroner's office said. "But we have no identity on the body at this time."
Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott did not know how the fire started.
"Right now the fire remains under investigation by the Los Angeles City Fire Department's arson investigators," Scott said. "But, so far, there is no indication that this was an arson fire."
The blaze in a strip mall in the 7800 block of Alabama Avenue was reported about 2:10 a.m. and put out in 32 minutes, Scott said. One of 62 firefighters assigned to the fire fell off a ladder was taken to a hospital to be checked out, he said.
Three units at the strip mall were severely damaged, and three sustained damage in areas where they shared walls, a videographer at the scene said.
Tenants included a paint shop, two kitchen appliance stores, a construction business and a surf shop, where chemicals reacted with water after the fire, exploding harmlessly during the mop-up phase, according to the photographer.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 29/7/2013 (1482 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A Winnipeg man who admits to sexual fantasies involving young boys will remain in jail following his recent child pornography arrest.
Luke Brandon Neumann, 27, was arrested earlier this month and charged with possessing and distributing tens of thousands of images of children as young as five engaged in explicit sexual acts.
He applied for bail last week, then returned to court Monday to learn his fate. Provincial court Judge Tracey Lord denied Neumann's request. No trial dates have been set. A ban was requested by his lawyer, meaning Lord's reasons can't be published.
No such court order was in place last week when Crown prosecutor Bruce Sychuk opposed the release, arguing Neumann described himself to police as a "boy lover," whose daily sexual fantasy is to make love to a young boy.
Neumann came to the attention of authorities in the U.S. in May. They alleged he was uploading images of young boys to the Internet.
American authorities contacted the National Child Exploitation Coordination Centre in Ottawa, which contacted Winnipeg police, who then executed a search warrant at a residence on Portage Avenue Neumann shared with a roommate. He was arrested July 4.
Defence counsel Kristee Logan had argued Neumann could be released on strict conditions, which include living with his father in B.C., a cash deposit of $3,000 and a surety of $5,000, and agreeing to take counselling.
Sychuk said following his arrest, Neumann admitted to police to possessing tens of thousands of still and video images of boys, whose age ranged from five to 14.
Sychuk played a 20-minute excerpt of a police interview, where Neumann can be heard saying he loves young boys and would never hurt them, adding he used images as a substitute to fulfill his sexual fantasies.

Walk in the ParkProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
Alice and Bob agree to meet in the park. They agree to each show up some random time between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM. Wait 20 minutes for the other person, or until one o'clock, whichever comes first.
Assuming they stick to their word, what is the probability that they will meet?
HintThey are equally likely to show up at any time.
However their probability of meeting will change depending on the time.
Try looking at it through only one person's perspective.
AnswerTheir probability of meeting is 5/9
There are four events that can happen.
1. Bob arrives first and Alice meets him while he is waiting.
2. Bob arrives first, leaves and then Alice shows up.
3. Alice arrives first and Bob meets her while she is waiting.
4. Alice arrives first, leaves and then Bob shows up.
Also there are 3 main time segments that different things can happen during. from 12:00 12:00-12:20, 12:20-12:40, 12:40-1:00.
There is a 1/3 chance of Alice showing up in any of these times.
If Alice shows up from 12:20-12:40
Then there are 20 minutes before and after Alice's arrival that Bob could arrive and they would meet. So 40 minutes out of the hour that Bob could arrive and they will meet. (40/60)
If Alice shows up between 12:00 and 12:20 there are 20 minutes after her arrival, and all the time between 12:00 and when she arrived. This time averages out to be 10 minutes (remember we are assuming she showed up between 12:00 and 12:20) So that's 30 minutes out of the hour that Bob could show up and they would meet. (30/60)
From 12:40-1:00 you have a similar situation. There's twenty minutes before Alice's arrival that Bob could have shown up. And all the time till 1:00, which again averages out to 10 minutes. So again 30 minutes out of the hour.
Each of those three are equally likely with 1/3 probability so
1/3(30/60 + 40/60 + 30/60)

I've been thinking about what Fed chairman Ben Bernanke said in his press conference about reinvestment of maturing assets from the Fed's portfolio.
"At some point, presumably early in our exit process, we will – I suspect based on conversations we've been having around the FOMC table it's very likely that an early step would be to stop reinvesting all or a part of the securities which are maturing. But take note that that step, although a relatively modest step, does constitute a policy tightening, because it would be lowering the size of our balance sheet and therefore would be expected to essentially tighten financial conditions."
If it is the stock of Fed assets that matters, as the Fed believes, there is no doubt that this is literally correct. Reduce the size of the balance sheet and you tighten monetary policy.
But the direct tightening would be incredibly small. I think a much more pertinent reason for Mr Bernanke's comments is to send a signal that short-term interest rates are going to stay low and discourage the market from pricing in an earlier tightening. Read more

Here's a line of defense Microsoft could use against accusations that Bing steals Google's search results: Bing doesn't rip off Google because Bing is more accurate than Google. Ouch!
According to research by Experian Hitwise, Bing (and Yahoo Search powered by Bing) achieved a success rate of 81 percent for January 2011; Google, meanwhile, managed only a 65 percent success rate. Both of those figures are unchanged from December 2010.
Experian defines "success rate" as inducing a user to click on one of the search results, which does leave Google with some possible excuses. For example, perhaps users are finding the information they're looking for right there on Google's results page and don't need to click on any of the links. After all, lots of people like to use Google as a spelling checker these days.
On the bright side for Google, it is still the heavyweight champion when it comes to overall usage, pulling 68 percent of all U.S. searches. However, it can't rest on those laurels. That 68 percent figure for January is down from 70 percent in December 2010, while Bing jumped from 10.6 percent to nearly 13 percent, an increase of 21 percent month over month.
There's still a big gap between Google and Bing when it comes to usage, but if Bing proves itself to be more accurate and more useful, Google could be looking at the first serious challenge to its search dominance.

Nearby corn futures closed moderately lower Friday. Prices rallied in early trading due to projections for diminished rainfall over South American fields next week. However, weather models apparently shifts in the opposite directions when run again around noon, thereby undercutting the market. The release of fresh production forecasts by a Memphis-based advisory firm may also have depressed the market, since the net of their changes was a 1.9 million tonne rise in South American corn production. March corn ended the week having dipped 4.25 cents to $7.3625, while December edged 1.0 cent higher to $5.91/bushel.
Soybean futures ended the weak at slightly higher levels. Forecasts for South American dryness sent prices substantially higher in early trading, but the midday shift toward increased moisture for Southern Brazil and Argentina rather obviously pulled the CBOT market downward. Revised South American soybean production forecasts may have limited the damage, since the sum of those changes was a 2.8 million tonne reduction in the forecast for the two big Southern Hemisphere producers. March soybeans settled 5.75 cents higher, at $14.4725 per bushel Friday afternoon, while March soyoil gained 0.14 cents to 53.00 cents/pound and March meal rose $0.8 to $428.2/ton.
Wheat futures fell sharply Friday. Although, persistent drought over the Southern Plains is probably providing background support at the various wheat exchanges, reports that severe cold over the Midwest did no significant damage to winter wheat pastures may have undercut the markets. One could contend that afternoon corn losses weighed upon wheat, but that argument ignores the soybean advance. Otherwise, the news seemed supportive of the golden grain market. Given these conditions, the big breakdown seems to hold decidedly negative connotations for wheat market activity next week. March CBOT wheat futures dove 14.50 cents to $7.655 per bushel at the Friday close, while March KCBT wheat plunged 17.0 cents to end the week at $8.22 and March MGE futures fell 13.25 cents to $8.5175.
Friday trading saw cattle futures slip once again. Weak beef prices and flat sales are apparently weighing upon the market. The inability of CME futures to rally in response to mid-week cash gains probably discouraged many as well. The biannual USDA Cattle inventory report issued after the close seemed to hold somewhat negative connotations for the spring outlook, but proved more favorable for long-term prospects. April cattle closed 0.57 cents lower, at 132.17 cents/pound Friday, while its August counterpart fell 0.65 cents to 128.67. March feeder cattle were down 0.35 cents to 149.20 cents/pound, while August dipped 0.17 to 160.07.
After rising modestly Friday morning, CME lean hog futures closed generally lower. Strong midweek cash market gains and a jump in ham prices apparently powered the Chicago market upward in early trading. However, industry insiders expect the weekly slaughter total to exceed comparable week and year-ago levels, while direct markets quotes proved much less supportive Friday. April hogs had fallen 0.60 cents to 88.75 cents/pound at the close, while June also lost 0.60 cents to 97.50.

VIPP Diaper Pail
Doctors and dentists throughout the world use Vipp waste bins because they're compact, airtight and sanitary -- and those same qualities are what make Vipp Bins the perfect diaper pail. Other diaper pails may be airtight, but they're often made of odor-absorbing plastic that can leave a lingering smell each time they're opened. That's why we love these Vipp bins: they're made of stainless steel that's easy to keep clean and odor-free. Handmade in Denmark, their clean lines fit into almost any decor and room.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Less than a month before the Saint Leo women's basketball team is set to begin its 2013-14 regular season schedule, head coach Nikki Jessee has announced the addition of five newcomers to her roster.
Jessee's additions bring the total roster size to twelve.
Chachi Guzman
5-7, Guard, So.
Miami, Fla.
Kennesaw State University
Hailing from Miami, Fla., Guzman attended Monsignor Edward Pace High School where she competed under the guidance of Kellina Swan. While there, she was named to the All-County First Team after leading the county in scoring with 28 points-per-game. She was also named her team MVP and set a school record for assists. Guzman began her collegiate career in 2012 at Kennesaw State University before transferring to Saint Leo during the spring semester of 2013.
Jessee's thoughts: "Chachi is a special player. At the point position, she brings a steadiness by her ability to handle pressure, find the open man, attack the basket, as well as shoot the 3. She was the starting point guard as a freshman at Kennesaw State last season, which says a lot about her game by starting at a DI as a freshman. The point position is the hardest position on the floor, and Chachi makes it look effortless. We believe she is a key piece that we have been missing the last few years. We think she will be a big difference maker this season."
Gabby Ortiz
5-8, Guard, Fr.
Orlando, Fla.
Celebration High School
Originally from Kissimmee, Fla., Ortiz competed at Celebration High School in Orlando, Fla. under head coach Robert Mouchet. During her high school career, she scored over 1,000 points, in addition to averaging 14.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and three assists per game. Ortiz also played for the Orlando Blazers club team under Coach Richard Gerst.
Jessee's thoughts: "Gabby has already shown improvement in the weight room and through conditioning. She will look to use this year to develop her basketball IQ, understanding of our system, and what we expect out of our players."
Melissa Jackson
6-0, Forward, Jr.
Lyon, France
Saint Bruno Saint Louis High School
Born in Lyon, France, Jackson attended France's Saint Bruno Saint Louis High School under coach Fred Berger. Also while in France, she played for Team FC Lyon under Coach Pierre Bressant. Jackson attended Trinity Valley Community College and Baruch College before settling at Saint Leo in the spring semester of 2013.
Jessee's thoughts: "Melissa came back in the best shape of her life, and lost 10 pounds. She is a 6 foot forward who can step out and shoot the 3 with consistency. For us she can play the 4 or 5 position, which makes her versatile and hard to match-up with at times. She can take posts out on the perimeter, or smaller forwards inside to post up. "Frenchie" is a competitive and extremely hard worker and because of her work ethic and skill set, she will compete right away for major minutes. The forward position has been a huge missing piece for us the last few years, and with Ashlin and Frenchie we believe we have filled that need."
Ashley Taia
6-0, Forward, Fr.
Brisbane, Australia
John Paul College High School
Hailing from Brisbane, Australia, Taia graduated in 2011 from John Paul College High School, where she played for Coach Peter Foster. After graduation, Taia competed with the Brisbane Spartans under head coach Tony Stephens.
Jessee's thoughts: "Although Ashley is red-shirting this season, she brings a competitiveness at practice that can't be overlooked. She is an extremely skilled player who can do it all. This year will bring valuable experience to Ashley, as she learns our system and develops the work ethic we expect in the weight room and on the court. We believe she has the potential to become a very special player for us at Saint Leo. She is a 6 foot guard with the physical make-up of a post, who can shoot the 3, drive, pass, and post up. We're excited that she has 4 years of eligibility after this season, which will only make her even more deadly offensively as she develops this season."
Ashlin Gross
5-11, Forward, So.
Las Vegas, Nev.
St. Anslem College
Born in Fayetteville, Ark., Gross attended high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she played at Bishop Gorman High School under head coach Sheryl Krmpotich. In 2011, Gross was named to the Iolani Classic All-Tournament Team for her play with the No. 22 Bishop Gorman squad. Before beginning her collegiate career at St. Anslem College, Gross also competed with the 24/7 Hoops club team under head coach Pat Amico.
Jessee's thoughts: "Ashlin spent the entire summer here at Saint Leo working out in the weight room and it shows as she gained over 15 pounds of muscle. She is a pure shooter who can shoot way behind the 3-point line. We expect her to play the forward position, and compete for minutes right away. Ashlin was a top 6 player in the country at her position as a freshman in high school before she became ill and missed the next few years of high school. She is just now getting her form back, and she has shown signs of exceptional play so far. Ashlin has a high basketball IQ which allows her to make everyone around her better with her passing and versatile play at 5'11."

UCLA secured a No. 6 seed on Selection Sunday, but the celebration was somewhat muted.
The Bruins were happy more or less with the seeding, although coach Ben Howland said he expected a four or five seed. They were fine with playing No. 11-seeded Minnesota on Friday, a team they still need to study on film.
But the location?
Those 1,300 miles to Austin, Texas, wasn't what the team wanted - especially since two other Pac-12 schools were slotted in California. Howland said last week he was more concerned with the location than the seed and stuck true to that sentiment after the bracket was released.
"Honestly? I'd rather be Cal right now, playing in San Jose," he said. "I'd rather be a 12 seed right now, playing in San Jose. Absolutely. Especially for the fans."
Added freshman Shabazz Muhammad: "I thought we deserved to go there. But you know how it is. It's politics in sports. They do whatever they want."
The Bruins (25-9) will open the round of 64 in the South Region, but thought a regular-season conference title should have been enough to keep them in the West.
Now, they match up against the Gophers (20-12), who are the nation's eighth-best rebounding margin.
Should it advance to the next round, UCLA potentially could meet third-seeded Florida, a program responsible for three of the Bruins' past five NCAA tournament exits.
A run to the Sweet Sixteen seems unlikely, particularly after the loss of second-leading scorer Jordan Adams. The freshman guard is done for the season with a broken right foot.
UCLA had bad losses this season - Cal Poly, USC, Washington State - but also built up strong numbers with a No. 27 RPI and a No. 17 strength of schedule, according to ESPN. The Bruins didn't think they deserved to be dinged for the loss of Adams, but the committee likely thought otherwise.
It hardly was the Pac-12's worst snub. The conference looked significantly improved this year after securing just two NCAA Tournament bids a year ago. Even as teams beat up on each other in conference play, most projections correctly had five teams in the field of 68.
But Oregon, which beat UCLA Saturday for its first conference tournament title since 2007, got slighted with a No. 12 seed - the most obvious sign of the Pac-12's meager national reputation. No other Pac-10 or Pac-12 tourney champion has ever been seeded worse.
"I think our conference has a chance to do something good in the tournament," Howland said. "We pull for everyone in the Pac-12 because, obviously, we need to gain some respect."
The decision only looked more bizarre as Colorado and Cal, both of which had weaker resumes, ended up with No. 10 and No. 12 seeds, respectively.
The Bears also ended up with a rematch against No. 5 UNLV, to whom they lost by one point in December. Selection guidelines state "if possible, rematches of regular-season games should be avoided in the second and third round."
Arizona also received a No. 6 seed and will match up with No. 11 Belmont on Thursday in Salt Lake City, a little more than 800 miles from Tucson.
The Bruins beat the Wildcats three times this season, including a 66-64 victory in the Pac-12 semifinals that ended with Adams' injury.
"That's what March Madness is all about," said senior point guard Larry Drew II, the only UCLA player with NCAA Tournament experience. "It's just a whole scrambling. Everybody kind of waits and see where they're going to be placed. Some people might be a little disappointed.
"I just think as long as guys stick together and stay optimistic and stay excited, everything will take care of itself."
No. 11 Minnesota (20-12)
Home: Minneapolis
Conference play: The Golden Gophers opened the season 15-1 and 3-0 in the Big Ten but have won only five of their 16 games since. Minnesota finished in a three-way tie for seventh in the conference alongside Illinois, a seventh seed, and Purdue, which did not make the field of 68. The Gophers lost in the first round of the Big Ten tournament, 51-49, to the Illini.
Coach: Tubby Smith is one of the most well-known coaches still working in college basketball but hasn't replicated the success he had at Kentucky. He began his career in Lexington with an NCAA title in 1998 and reached three Elite Eights and two Sweet 16 s before resigning in 2007 because of public pressure and dissatisfaction.
Minnesota will be making its third NCAA appearance in six years under Smith and are looking for their first victory after two double-digit losses in the first round.
Starting lineup:
F - Trevor Mbawke, Sr., 6-8, 245, 10.0 pts, 8.7 reb, 1.5 blk
F - Rodney Williams, Sr., 6-7, 200, 10.3 pts, 5.1 reb, 1.4 blk
G - Joe Coleman, So., 6-4, 210, 8.7 pts, 3.8 reb, 1.5 ast
G - Austin Hollins, Jr., 6-4, 185, 10.6 pts, 2.4 ast, 1.7 stl
G - Andre Hollins, So., 6-1, 200, 13.9 pts, 3.5 reb, 3.4 ast
Key reserves
G - Julian Welch, Sr., 6-3, 195, 3.2 pts, 1.4 reb, 1.5 ast
C - Elliott Eliason, So., 6-11, 260, 2.2 pts, 3.5 reb, 1.2 blk
Scouting report: Minnesota, which returns to the NCAA tournament after a two-year absence, ranks No. 34 in RPI and played the country's fourth-toughest schedule. More foreboding for UCLA is the Golden Gophers hold the eighth-best rebounding margin in Division I at plus 8.2. The Bruins have been out-rebounded in 13 of their last 14 games.

When Jyotika Parmar attended the I Create Aspiring Entrepreneurs Workshop (AEW) in 2003, she was newly married. Jyotika always wanted to make something of her life and AEW gave her that opportunity and the tools to do it.
I Create has been NFTE´s partner since 1999. I Create serves 15 areas in India, and has reached almost 2000 youth under its program for school and college students in 2012. Just like most of our NFTE International partners, I Create serves a diverse population. I Create not only reaches out to youth with entrepreneurship, but they believe that "when you empower a woman, you empower her entire future generations." It is the reason why they created the Women´s Economic Empowerment through entrepreneurship program, which has created 2,500 grassroots entrepreneurs.
In the Aspiring Entrepreneurs Workshop, teachers train participants to create a business plan individually or in teams. Then, a month or so after the workshop, the trainers do a follow-up session so they can reinforce the concepts and provide support for their businesses. The methodology they use to teach these workshops is based on the NFTE curriculum.
After the AEW, Jyotika decided to start her own business -- a beauty parlor. Jyotika had big dreams for herself and her husband Vijay, but he wanted to stay in their village and become a farm laborer.
Against the wishes of her in-laws, Jyotika went to Baroda, the third largest and most populated city in the Indian State of Gujarat, and lived there by herself. She later asked her husband to come and join her. He agreed and moved to Baroda. Once there, she found him a job in a security firm while she herself continued with her beauty parlor business.
Jyotika's interest in the security business started growing as she saw great opportunity there. She learned as much as she could about the security business and motivated her husband to start a security business of their own which she helped run. Their security business is now doing so well that they have 60 employees. Jyotika and Vijay have even bought a bomb sniffing dog which they rent out to different organizations.
Now, Jyotika's dream is to serve her community by motivating women there to become entrepreneurs. The tools she learned from the NFTE-based AEW curriculum helped her become economically independent and changed her life. Jyotika now wants to share her knowledge with women like her. Thank You Jyotika for being a role model in your community!
