Xbox Power Cord Recall Notice
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Video Games
Microsoft has issued a recall notice on the power cord of Xbox consoles made before Jan. 13, 2004 in Continental Europe, and units made for the rest of the world before Oct. 23, 2003 - Xbox's built after those days were built in such a way that the failure does not occur. The recall is due to a defect on some boxes that lead to minor singe burns and scorched carpets or entertainment centers. According to reports to Microsoft's customer service and warranty repair data, the failure rate is about 1 in 10,000 units. That may seem like a small percentage, but why take the chance? Xbox owners may order a replacement through the Xbox website or by calling the toll free number for their respective country.

Apple OS X Tiger Shipping in April? June?
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Software
You know we gotta keep you in the loop as it pertains to the Apple rumor mill. While it isn't yet official, it appears that the ship date for Apple OS X 10.4 (a.k.a. Tiger) will be June 30th 2005. Now, that works…except for the fact that ThinkSecret reported that Apple is "working hard on Final Cut Pro 5 and will use the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) conference in mid-April to debut the software." The report also states that "Final Cut Pro 5 will require Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and will take advantage of the new Core Video technology, which functions as a bridge between QuickTime and a supported video card to deliver hardware-accelerated video processing." This seems to imply that if Final Cut Pro 5 is going to debut in April, and will require OS X Tiger to run, that Tiger should also be available in mid-April. It's tough being a super sleuth.
Oh, and the image to the right is what is believed to be the final packaging box.

bbBuddy Keeps Track of Your Words
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Internet
We all spend a lot of time writing textual content on the net. This content comes in many forms such as movie reviews at Yahoo, posts on a message board, and even comments on a blog. For some sites such as Slashdot, its user submitted comments are the sites main attraction. But who owns this content - the original author or the site that displays the content? Forget about what the law officially states, for all intents and purposes, it is the site that controls the content. They control the user submitted content, and if the site disappears so will the said content. There have been documented cases of sites shutting down and people no longer having access to their work. Even most message boards do not retain every post. Its amazing that more people don't store their posts in some fashion. Literally hours ago a new web application launched that allows its members to store, organize and download all of their textual content. It also allows members to add del.icio.us-like labels to their posts. These labels are aggregated at the single member and community levels, so you can view all of your posts labeled "NFL" and you can also view all of the community's posts labeled "NFL". The main benefit of course is that it gives the author control of their textual content. Try it http://www.bbBuddy.com.

Pioneer CDJ-200 Is Ready To Mix It Up
Posted by Categories: Music
DJ's have converted from vinyl to CDs, and Pioneer aims to make their jobs even easier. The original CDJ-100 played CDR/RWs and had excellent jog wheel control. The new CDJ-200 adds many welcome features. With cue/loop memory, MP3 support, digital outputs and new loop editing features, this player has become its own mobile club. I think this should make for some interesting changes in the local club music scene as well as future re-mixes.

Firefox Pop-up Blocker Bug
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Internet
One thing that gives Firefox its mass appeal is it's solid pop-up blocker. Now Mozilla's pop-up blocker is being challenged. There are some websites that have found a way around the blocker after its first pop-up is blocked. One such website is Ngemu.com; Firefox and Mozilla will both block the first pop-up, however after the user clicks on a link such as "XBOX", a pop up appears. Bugzilla's website contains a bug report of the problem including the source code for the work around.

New XBOX 360 Information
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Video Games
There are two new rumors floating around about Microsoft's next generation gaming console. According to The Inquirer, the XBOX 360 will come standard with wireless controllers. Hopefully the battery life will be improved as well. We can probably expect Sony to follow in the same path. The next rumor involves the XBOX 360's GPU. Of course this information, just like the rest, is not yet confirmed, but here are the specs:
- 24 Pipelines
- 32 Texture Units
- 96 Arithmetic Logic Units (ALU)
- 192 Shader Operations per Cycle
- 700MHz Core
- 134.4 Billion Shader Operations per Second (at 700MHz)
- 256-bit 512MB 1.8GHz GDDR3 Memory
- 57.6 GB/sec Bandwidth (at 1.8GHz)
- 300-350 Million Transistors
- 90nm Manufacturing
- Shader Model 3.0
- ATI HyperMemory
- ATI Multi Rendering Technology (AMR)
- Launch: Q2 2005
- 16x stochastic FSAA
- FP32 blending, texturing
- Programmable Primitive Processor/Tesselator
As you can see, the next XBOX will have a very powerfull GPU. With performance higher than a Radeon X800, we can assume the XBOX 360 to put a very big dent on our wallets - that is, of course, if the source that reported this information is correct.

Finally someone has invented a way for us to continue using our GBA, in light of the DS and the upcoming PSP. It's called the DTEC, by TurboXS. The DTEC plugs into your handheld and comes preloaded with software that lets you use your Gameboy to gauge exhaust gas temperature, air temperature, and vehicle boost, among other things. You can also purchase additional sensors and hardware to monitor other systems, like knock indication and vehicle acceleration (ie. G-Force). But check out the DTEC hardware that actually needs to plug into your GBA. Talk about unwieldly. Coming in October to an obsolete GBA near you.

Free Mobile Web Hack on Verizon Wireless
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cell Phones
Check it out, you can now use Mobile Web on your Verizon Wireless phone, and not pay the $4.99 per month charge to Verizon to do so. In fact, this is a perfectly legal alternative, because you are simply using a different server than the one Verizon Wireless provides. This hack works for any Verizon Wireless phone that supports Mobile Web 1.0 - 2.0. All you need to do is go into the setup menu and make a couple of changes.

EDIT: I should have been more clear. Use MobileWEB4U to find out how to access the appropriate menu on your phone where you change servers. Once you find the menu, enter a proxy server. You can find one at http://www.publicproxyservers.com.
You must also enter both the proxy server address as well as the port it uses. If you don't have both, it won't work.
Who's Buying Up iPods?
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Portable Audio / Video
CNET News has put up some interesting facts regarding MP3 player purchases in America. According to a study carried out by the non-profit Pew Internet & American Life Project, those who are younger, wealthier and use the Internet are more likely to own such gadgets. It also helps to if you're a guy. Here are the findings: While one in five people under the age of 30 have an iPod or other MP3 player, the number drops to one in seven in the 30-to-48 age group. Similarly, about 25% of people with household incomes of $75,000 or more owned such gadgets. That figure dropped to 10% for those in the $30,000 to $74,999 range and to 6 percent among those earning less than $30,000. The study also found that those who use the Internet are four times as likely as non-Internet users to have MP3 players. Finally, men have a 50 percent greater chance than women of owning a digital media player.

House Keys May Soon Become Extinct
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Misc. Tech
Residential door hardware companies will soon be shifting to radio-signal devices, if it follows the trend in the automotive industry, experts say. Consider the 2006 Lexus GS sport sedan, on sale next month. USA Today reports that when a driver carrying an electronic fob steps within a few feet of the GS, the doors or trunk can be opened without a key. Of course, there are already naysayers that claim the system is hackable, though Texas Instruments claims that there has never been a security breach. The article also cites the similar example of hotels, which now almost exclusively use electronic cards for room entry. Yeah, except for when a magnetic device in your pocket renders the card useless and you're stuck outside. Still, the concept of electronic house keys may yet be an inevitable evolution of our way of life.

Wembdon Saints 0, Wellington 2
EIGHT-man Wembdon Saints were knocked out of the cup by Wellington at the weekend.
Wellington scored twice early on to take an early lead, but Wembdon didn't drop their heads and continued to compete in all areas of the park.
The three defenders worked hard throughout the game and were kept busy by a lively Wellington side, all of them making telling tackles.
The midfield four really worked hard throughout and had spells in the second half where they put Wellington under a lot of pressure.
Every player worked really hard and all good chances to score - the team played to the end and during the second half played some excellent passing football Staplegrove 4, Wembdon Saints 1 WEMBDON gave a good all round team performance against a much stronger side who went on to win the championship with this result.
Wembdon were always playing catch up after conceding goal in the first five minutes following a loose ball being forced home from close range.
Wembdon didn't let their heads drop and competed with Staplegrove going close on a couple of occasions looking for an equaliser.
Just before the half time break Staplegrove scored a second which was the goal of the game a long range volley from the edge of the box giving Dan James little chance in the Wembdon goal.
The second half saw Wembdon play some very attractive football but found it hard to break down a stubborn defence - Staplegrove increased their lead before Wembdon found the net.
Alex Stevens scored directly from a corner, bending it in at the near post.
This gave Wembdon slight hope as there was still twenty minutes remaining and were putting a lot of pressure on Staplegrove.
With five minutes left Staplegrove made the game safe with a fourth but Wembdon battled to the end

RAIL users have had a victory after convincing their train operator to reverse a new delay policy.
Commuters were furious Greater Anglia's connecting trains between Harwich and Manningtree would no longer wait for delayed transferring passengers on the London to Norwich line.
The new rules, which started last Monday, January 7, meant passengers could be stranded at the station for up to an hour until the next Mayflower Line train arrived.
But Greater Anglia has staged a U-turn after one week of the unpopular rules. Trains from Manningtree to Harwich will wait up to five minutes for delayed passengers "wherever possible".
A Greater Anglia spokesperson said: "We have recently reviewed arrangements at Manningtree in respect of the Manningtree to Harwich branch line trains in the event of any late running occurring to mainline services from London.
"We try to ensure that mainline services are able to connect with the branch line trains, as per the advertised timetable.
"Following further discussions and in responding positively to feedback on this matter, wherever possible we will allow for branch line connections to be held for up to five minutes (in excess of the scheduled departure time) in the event of a delay to the service from London."
Bernard Jenkin MP and Passenger Focus joined residents and Manningtree Rail Users Association to get the decision overturned.
The overhaul was met with cautious congratulations.

Lululemon's Profits Climb As Sales Growth Slows
Shares of Lululemon Athletica Inc., the Vancouver-based yoga-wear retailer, rose more than 5 percent even after it expected sales growth at established stores to slow sharply in the current quarter. Third-quarter results, however, came in stronger than expected. The growth was helped by strength in its online business and store openings.
The shares rose 7.3 percent to $73.57 at the close in New York, the biggest one-day gain since Sept. 7. The Vancouver- based company has gained 58 percent this year.
Lululemon has been pursuing overseas expansion, laying the groundwork for stores in Hong Kong, London and Germany. The company has more than doubled revenue in its e- commerce business in the past three quarters to $119 million from $56 million, while sales at company-owned locations have jumped 36 percent to $712.1 million, Lululemon said in its quarterly filing today.
Lululemon "remains one of the key brands that is building awareness, driving share, and selling product at full price in a sea of price competition," Adrienne Tennant, an analyst at Janney Montgomery Scott LLC with a buy rating on the stock, wrote in a note today. The company "remains an attractive longer term growth story, and we believe earnings growth is still above 30 percent annually for the next several years," she wrote.
Profit this fiscal year will be as much as $1.83 a share, which is 2 cents higher than previously forcasted, Lululemon said in a statement today. Analysts' projected $1.81, the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
In the past year, Lululemon has opened 21 stores in the U.S., eight in Australia and two in New Zealand, as well as five Canadian locations for ivivva athletica, which makes dance-inspired apparel for young people.
Day, who ran Starbucks Corp.'s Asia-Pacific unit before joining Lululemon, said the retailer is also looking to boost its men's business, which is typically about 12 percent of sales.
The retailer, which sells yoga pants for $98 to a loyal customer base, has faced growing competition as stores like Athleta and VF Corp.'s Lucy find their footing.

This year, Shrewsbury Flower Show, celebrated its 125th anniversary.From its small beginnings in a marquee in Shrewsbury town centre in 1857, the massive and not to be missed show, staged in the picturesque setting of Shrewsbury's Quarry Park,on the banks of the River severn, has grown to become, according to the Guinness book of records, the longest running show of its kind. This weekend,Friday and Saturday the 10th and 11th of August, the show was expected to attract 50.000 visitors and with the sunny weather this became a reality.
At the show, celebrities such as television chef James Martin and tv gardener Chris Beardshaw of Gardeners' World, passed on their expert knowledge and tips to the crowds, who attended the famous show. Exhibitors showcased beautiful blooms and magnificent plants displays. Bonsai, gigantic vegetables, arts and crafts and stunning works to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee were on show. The public were treated to bee handling demonstrations, as well as being able to sample homemade honey and mead. Floral art was showcased by various floral societies, clubs and individuals.
In the main arena daring quad bike and motorcycle stunts by Jason Smyth enthralled the public and later grade A show jumping, with national and international riders holding a competition. Bob Hogg, tv personality and sheepdog expert, put his sheep dog through its paces with an expert display.
Children were not left out. For them there were demonstrations of magic, juggling, gardening with Chris Beardshaw and circus workshops.There was Mr. Boom with his song and dance routines and also demonstrations of judo and martial arts.
In the sunshine, visitors were able to take time out to listen to military bands and male voice choirs who entertained from the bandstand.Oysterband played live folk rock on the main stage in the arena.All this plus numerous different stands. Garden shopping, specialist retailers, a home and craft marquee, show gardens and lectures on all sorts of gardening and food related subjects kept visitors wanting for nothing.
The incredibly successful show was brought to a close on both evenings with a grand fireworks display and massed band finale.

Officials Warn of Super Bowl Ticket Scams [AUDIO]
New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs officials warn Super Bowl fans they can get taken by scammers if they're not careful.
Consumer Affairs Director Eric Kanefsky says there are obviously a lot of people who are willing to spend a lot of money to attend and participate in the Super Bowl, and with those type of events you get con artists and scammers. He warns would-be ticket buyers to know your seller, especially when it comes to verification of a website's legitimacy.
"A website that has a mechanism to independently verify the legitimacy of the ticket," Kanefsky said. "At this point, largely, when we are talking about people who are still looking to buy tickets, those are almost primarily at this point going to be on the secondary ticket market."
Kanefsky warns people to be cautious if somebody is looking for you to turn over a check or a money order. He also said to be wary if somebody doesn't take a credit card or can't provide you with the specific information about the location of the seats or provide you with a picture, if they profess to have the ticket in hand.
Kanefsky said hotels can charge whatever they want for a room and raise their rates as high as they wish, but they cannot "bait and switch."
"If somebody says they're going to give you something for a certain price, you enter into a agreement with them to do that, and they subsequently change that," Kanefsky said. "That's something that somebody should be calling our office about."
He said you can always contact Consumer Affairs to determine whether a ticket seller or hotel has been the subject of complaints.

Melanie Brown says having 13-year-old daughter Phoenix makes her feel old. The singer – who also has Angel, 4, and Madison, 6 months – was on Britain's ITV show Lorraine when she talked about her eldest girl.
She said, "Phoenix has just turned 13, I can't believe I've a teenager on my hands, I feel old. She's a little bit moody because she's a teenager but we're very close. She's my first so I still consider her my baby, she's a sweetheart."
Brown says she even let Phoenix name her and husband Stephen Belafonte's baby.
Phoenix was there at the hospital with me and I said, 'Why don't you name your sister?' I mean, everything about Phoenix is very funky and very stylish so I knew she'd pick a nice name."
The former Dancing With The Stars contestant is now a host of the Australian version of the show.
She admitted, "I'm glad I'm hosting because those rehearsals are a killer. Your feet hurt because of the shoes … it's hard work. I'm going to be nervous hosting but I like a challenge."

OpenCL Support Coming To Adobe Premiere Pro for Windowsby Ryan Smith on 4/5/2013 1:45 PM EST

StealthX32 - Friday, April 05, 2013 - linkI haven't tested OpenCL for CS6, but for non-HTML5 videos, Flash still continues to peg my CPU usage and pushes the CPU over 100 deg C. Thanks a lot, Adobe. Reply
thesavvymage - Friday, April 05, 2013 - linkyeah if your cpu is going over 100 deg C, thats not flash. thats your cpu. it should never, under any circumstance, pass 100 deg C. you need an upgrade, or to clean the dust off your fan. Reply
Flunk - Friday, April 05, 2013 - linkYes, if you're CPU is heating up to 100C that's a hardware issue. There is no reason why a CPU shouldn't be able to run at 100% constantly (if it's actually processing something). Reply
StealthX32 - Friday, April 05, 2013 - linkIt's a C2D 2.26GHz in a Macbook Pro 13 (2009 era). I thought this was standard operating procedure for Flash on OS X. Reply
Death666Angel - Friday, April 05, 2013 - linkBe mad at Apple then. A program should use as much CPU time as possible to finish its task as fast a possible. If the PC/laptop cannot handle the stress, it's the fault of the manufacturer. Seems that the cooling solution doesn't hold up to long use. Get someone to replace the thermal paste and clean the heatsink for you. Reply
Tegeril - Friday, April 05, 2013 - linkIt's not, unless you're viewing video on a player written over 4 years ago, the entire video rendering pipeline in Flash is hardware accelerated. Reply
AndreElijah - Friday, April 05, 2013 - linkDude - don't blame Adobe - that's ALL Apple... Furthermore it has NOTHING to do with Adobe's Pro Video offerings like Premiere which is referenced in this article. I work in film professionally as an editor and have owned 7 MacBook Pros in the last 7 years. Apple has replaced them all due to severe overheating. I have a 17'' 2011 MacBook Pro that regularly overheats to over 100 degrees Celsius with graphical artifacting whenever rendering something with the dedicated GPU. When you have a hot processor in a chassis less than an inch thick - that's what happens. My next machine will be the HP 8770w or Dell Precision 6700 (Haswell equivalents) because they are both powerful and properly cooled. Something that Apple does not provide. Reply
Oberoth - Sunday, April 07, 2013 - linkAre we over the days of QuickSync not working in you have another GPU on your PC? Back in the Sandy Bridge days QuickSync only worked when you had a monitor attached to one of its outputs, is this still the case?
I will be buying a Haswell set up when it's out but will also be using a dedicated GPU, will the GPU on the CPU still function? Will software like Handbrake and Prem Pro still have access to QuickSync?
Also there are often concerns over quality from GPU assisted encoding, is this still the case with Open CL? What would be a better option (mainly quality but also speed) new high-ish end AMD or nVidia card or sticking with QuickSync or disabling all GPU acceleration and purely using x86? Reply
shnurov - Friday, April 05, 2013 - linkI don't understand the part where they say that 'lower GPU usage is better.'
I mean, if there's 100% GPU available; I'd love to see Premiere use 100% and complete the rendering ASAP, not have 35% usage. I hope it'll be extended to the non-FireGL cards as well, like the 7970/6970/etc. Reply
Death666Angel - Friday, April 05, 2013 - linkThe way I read that is that they are talking about efficiency. So, the 2 cards are doing the same thing, AMD cards are being faster and at the same time use less resources. Reply
mayankleoboy1 - Friday, April 05, 2013 - linkWhy not make it even more faster, and use more power ? Reply
geniusloci - Saturday, April 06, 2013 - linkmayankleoboy1: are you really this stupid? Reply
CiccioB - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkYour answer is stupid, not his question.
You should say why it is not possible to have faster results using more of the available GPU computational power. If it is there, why not exploiting it?
But I suppose you can't come with a sensible answer, and that's why you can just swallow all AMD's PR bla bla without understanding anything about its (not) relevance. Reply
mayankleoboy1 - Friday, April 05, 2013 - linkEven on openCL, NV and AMD have different implementations. So a really optimized common code is not possible. Externally it may look like there is a single code for both, internally, the code does a hardware check to see which GPU is in use, and uses different codepath for different manufacturer. Reply
HighTech4US - Saturday, April 06, 2013 - linkRyan: Can we get a Head-to-Head review with both AMD and Nvidia products?
Testing AMD with OpenCL and Nvidia with both OpenCL and CUDA. Reply
geniusloci - Sunday, April 07, 2013 - linkThere's absolutely zero need for that. AMD destroys Nvidia in OpenCL.
And 6xx series Nvidia cards suck at CUDA as well. Reply
HighTech4US - Sunday, April 07, 2013 - linkAnd we all should bow down to you the "AMD Fanboi God" as all knowing.
Not going to happen.
What you seem to be saying is please, please Mr Ryan don't do one-on-one tests against Nvidia for you may find proof that AMD's constant PR about OpenCL doesn't meet the hype.
Just like the "CrossFire is Broken" problems AMD is currently having were found out by testing AMD's CF against Nvidia's SLI.
AMD Fanbois (like yourself) seem very afraid of direct testing of Open Standards like OpenCL. That alone should be enough of a reason to tests between AMD and Nvidia. Reply
TheJian - Monday, April 08, 2013 - linkYes, I'd like to see AMD tested vs NV with each running their respective fastest implementation. Of course this is OpenCL only for AMD (no cuda, but could also be OpenGL), and I'm guessing for NV Cuda will run quicker (but again, could be opengl is faster-but guessing always cuda where cuda is an option-which it is for all major rendering/content creation apps). They need to be compared. Tom's always shows OpenCL but acts like Cuda doesn't exist. Reality is, OpenCL isn't very useful so far except for free crap that means nothing. Nobody makes money folding@home...LOL. So few do bitcoin mining it's pointless to even benchmark this. The Civ5 benchmark doesn't tell us much about compute either, as it's just an example of something that COULD exist if more game makers followed this path. I'm not sure why sites like Anandtech refuse to do benchmarking of stuff like Blender, Adobe (take your pick of the apps in CS suite), Vegas, Solidworks, ProE, cadds 5, heck the list is long of apps with opengl/cuda options. OpenCL is slowly getting added to things, but ignoring all of the apps pros use daily just because they haven't caught the OpenCL bug yet is ridiculous and disingenuous to your readers. When was the last time Anandtech did a cuda test vs. anything else? Heck I wouldn't even care if they did it with the fastest app per card. Like rendering something in Vegas for AMD and Premiere for NV (whatever, insert best app for both). If you can rip or something in one app much faster than another you could test whatever you find to be the best app/api combo per gpu maker. If I had an NV card at home and wanted to do some movie making or something I'd seek the best cuda enabled app for whatever I'm trying to do. I'd do the same if I owned AMD at home (which I do currently). As long as quality/results were comparable I'd choose the fastest one I could get for my gpu.
If you're going to say something like "but at a minimum it looks like OpenCL is coming to parity with CUDA (or close enough)." You should have to prove that with benchmarks of one vs. the other. I'm seeing Ryan's love affair with AMD coming through again as there is no proof AMD's implementation will be at parity (or even close enough) with Cuda. This is AMD fanboy comment based on an AMD press release at best with next to nothing backing the statements from AMD or Ryan. Let me know when you test it, or Adobe shows some benchmarks showing AMD/OpenCL blowing away their same app tested in Cuda/NV. This should already be part of your benchmarking of gpu's here anyway instead of folding@home/bitcoin crap nobody does. Only 163,000 users have folding@home installed out of what, 352mil computers sold each year? Why bother benching that? Even less can be said about users bitcoin mining. Both things run up your electric bill and get you nothing (botnets make money on mining, not single home users these days).
No love for folding, as most of us aren't stupid enough to bloat our electric bills for the next great pill or cancer solution which company X will get rich from not US :) I get an expensive warm and fuzzy feeling NOTHING more.
Also, NV can always turn on support for all cards if they desire it to stop home card losses. Though I'd argue they probably don't care as any pro or company will cough up the money for a REAL card with ECC, backed drivers etc for professional content crap. You don't set your Pixar rendering dept for your next movie up on radeon 7970's for example. You buy Tesla's, Quadro, FireGL's etc. There's a reason pro cards exist and cost what they do. But you don't need a pro card to benchmark Adobe CS on AMD/NV and the same can be said about many apps supporting opengl & cuda already. CUDA works with all Nvidia GPUs from the G8x series onwards, including GeForce, Quadro and the Tesla line. They own 65% of the discrete market, so why act like it doesn't exist? Reply
CiccioB - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkIt all depends on the type of work you are doing.
If you run one of those silly single operation benchmarks, you can come up with results that are much faster on AMD than on Kepler. If you run real complex work, where all the architecture as a whole is stressed, it is most probable that nvidia solutions are going to surpass AMD's one even using less power.
GK104 is the most efficient GPU for integer and SP calculations (in fact they made a Tesla card for it as well, clearly showing that there's a market out there that is interested in integer and/or SP calculations other than the DP one), GK110 is the most efficient solution for DP calculations.
That's what the professional benchmarks on HPC state.
You may continue to believe in anything else that makes you feel better, though. Even that this limited OpenCL support a couple of year later with respect to the competition has any meaning, Reply
B3an - Sunday, April 07, 2013 - linkI'd hope they also support After Effects with OpenCL. That can be slow as **** even on the very fastest, and overclocked, hardware. Reply
Solidstate89 - Wednesday, April 10, 2013 - linkI don't have anything against OpenCL, but if they were going to add GPU compute in Windows, why wouldn't they just use the DirectCompute API that is available to all GPUs that run Windows? Reply
lmcd - Saturday, April 13, 2013 - linkQuestion: is the OpenCL for APUs limited to the expensive "pro" APUs only? Wasn't really mentioned whether consumer GPUs received benefit. Reply
CiccioB - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkAMD needs some PR facts to show during next quarter results presentation as income numbers will be quite low and minus signs will be everywhere.
So after announcing they have lost 20% of CPU revenues, that the GPU division is still not making money and they have lost some other market share, that they have not anything new to present on the market till the end of the year, both for CPUs and GPUs, they can finally say: but we get OpenCL support in Adobe Premiere Pro.
This quarter AMD's trump cards are 7990, which will announced as the fastest video card, ignoring that is is going to be completely out of PCI specs with its almost 400W (yeah, put two inefficient GPUs and you get a double inefficient card, though it is uselessly fast) and OpenCL support in niche markets, ignoring the fact that the competition holds more than 80% of the professional market with NO OpenCL support for the applications that use those solutions (meaning that OpenCL is not credited solutions for professional usage).
They obviously won't state they are more than a year late with respect to the competition.
But, well, that's what you get when you think that low prices which do not bring revenues are good. Reply

College Station, Texas - The College Station Police Department has just released a timeline of events involving Monday's shooting rampage that rocked a neighborhood near the Texas A&M campus.
Among the details contained within this timeline is new information regarding a civilian who tried to stop Thomas Caffall, the fact that Caffall took Constable Brian Bachmann's gun after police say he killed him and how police say Caffall used his scoped rifle to target innocent by-standers who weren't close to his house.
I have also attached a map given to us by CSPD marking the different areas of Monday's gun battle.
Here's the timeline:
Since Monday, August 13th College Station Police Department officers and investigators, along with investigators from multiple other agencies have been working around the clock in an effort to gather information and evidence in this case. The College Station Police Department has been assisted by the following agencies during the initial call and the subsequent investigation: Bryan Police Department, Brazos County Sheriff's Office, Texas A&M University Police Department, Brazos County Constable Offices, City of College Station Marshall's Office, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, Texas Department of Public Safety Highway Patrol Division, Texas DPS Emergency Management, Texas DPS State Crash Team, Texas DPS Aircraft Section, Texas Ranger Company A, Texas Ranger Company B, and Texas Ranger Company F.
As a result of the continued investigation, the following timeline of events has been determined. Note that the times provided are approximate times.
12:11 PM – First 911 call received. Caller advised that an officer had just been shot and he thought that his girlfriend (Holdsworth) had been shot also.
Numerous 911 calls were received including a call reporting that Northcliffe had been shot.
Holdsworth was shot as she pulled her vehicle into a driveway in the 600 block of Highlands.
Northcliffe was next to a parked vehicle in the 600 block of Highlands when he was shot.
Witnesses also told police that the suspect approached Constable Bachmann, after shooting him and removed his duty weapon from his gun belt.
During this same time period a civilian in the 600 block of Highlands fired 5-6 rounds from a small caliber handgun towards the suspect.
12:14 PM – First officers arrive on scene and approach from Maryem Street. They immediately come under fire from the suspect.
12:18 PM – Additional units begin arriving and set up a perimeter.
Shortly after arriving on scene Officer Oehlke was shot in the calf by the suspect.
12:28 PM - Two officers arrive at Park Place and Fidelity. Using a patrol vehicle as cover they attempt to reach Holdsworth and Northcliffe.
12:30 PM – Two SWAT officers arrive on scene and formulate a react plan.
12:35 PM – Suspect is shot and secured by CSPD officers.
Between 12:14 and 12:35 PM the following incidents occurred.
The suspect continually fires rounds at officers from his front porch.
The suspect retreats into his house between rounds of fire.
Several firearms were recovered from the suspect's house including Constable Bachmann's service weapon. It does not appear that Constable Bachmann's weapon had been fired.
The suspects weapons are described as follows:
Dragunov 7.62x54 semi-automatic sniper rifle
SA vz. 58 7.62 mm assault rifle
40 caliber Glock Model 35 pistol
Mosin-Nagant bolt-action rifle
In excess of 65 rounds were fired by the suspect during the incident.
The number of rounds fired by law enforcement officers are still being determined.

During an evaluation for
stuttering, a health professional will consider a
child's risk factors to help find out whether the problem is temporary (normal
disfluency) or likely to persist (developmental stuttering).
factors (things that increase risk) for stuttering include:1
Usually each risk factor taken individually is not
significant. Rather, the strength of each risk factor and how many are present
can help a health professional determine whether stuttering is likely to be a
long-term problem.

These are questions that friendly neighborhood (fun-hating!) police officers ask when they catch you speeding, flip on the cherries, make a u-turn like MacGyver, then follow you 'til you pull over. Not that this has happened recently.
Okay, you got me. It happened this morning.
A friendly neighborhood (fun-hating!) police officer pulled me over, and before I could hand him the license, he said, "Where you headed?" He was smiling. And he had some nice teeth. My first thought was to butter him up with a "wow them are some nice teeth" comment then bat the lashes all violent-like so as to produce some tears. But then I realized from past experience that this has never worked. I also realized that I have yet to be pulled over and let loose like in the fairy tales. "You go on ma'am. Today is just a warning. You just slow down now, you hear?"
That's right, I said "fairy tales." People aren't let loose with warnings. Unless of course you're a cop relation, carrying donuts, or Richard Matheson.
"Where you headed," he said. (Notice the missing question mark.)
"Well," I said. "It all began yesterday when I decided we were having Fish Tacos for dinner. I was out of my Signature Secret Sauce, and needed to make some. Now this was a problem for dinner, because the Secret Sauce needs to sit and simmer so as the savory seasoningss can blend properly. The fish was thawed and ready – tillapia if you must know, halibut is just so pricey these days – but the sauce was nowhere near ready.
"When Spouse arrived home," I continued, "he took one look at my lazy butt on the couch and hollered, 'Woman! Where's my Secret Sauce?' and I was all, 'Dude. You know where your Secret Sauce is' (*wink, wink.*) Now spouse was hungry, he didn't feel up to making some Secret Sauce, so he suggested we go for pizza. The Yahoos were all over that – Yahoos, that's what I call my kids, they're boys, age 7 and 10, want to see a picture?
"While eating pizza last night, I remembered a conversation we friendly neighborhood (fun-loving!) moms had on the way to school – you'll like this part, it's about donuts. I told them all that I had been craving this heavenly buttermilk biscuit from a donut joint in Portland. That joint is called Voodoo Donuts. Have you heard of it? No? Oh. EM. Gee. You need to go to Portland for one of those buttermilk biscuits. Sorry, back to the story – one of the friendly neighborhood (fun-loving!) moms said something about a buttermilk bar at a bakery in Provo called Provo Bakery.
"Anyways, in between a slice of barbecue chicken and a slice of three-cheese, I told Spouse about Provo Bakery's buttermilk biscuit. He was all over getting his mouth on one of those, (as was I, but don't tell anyone.) Just then I remembered that I was taking my mom Summy to her physical therapy the next morning. I could totally drop her off and go to the bakery for donuts. Spouse said, 'Yeah. Do that.'
"That was the plan. I rose early, got the Yahoos ready and sent them to school. Then I drove to get on the freeway, only to discover that the danged freeway on-ramp was closed AGAIN, and what is up with the construction? It's really gonna cause someone to snap one of these days, don't you think? So, the overpass was closed, for heaven knows how long, and that's when I discovered I had to go around, which generally adds AT LEAST 10 minutes to my commute.
"I turned left all mad-like, just before the on-ramp and whipped around the corner. While whipping around the corner, I thought 'What if I get all the way to the Provo Bakery and they are clean-out of buttermilk bars? That can't happen!' so I dialed the number on my trusty Apple Telephone Device (complete with voice recognition,) and received a 'Hello, thank you for calling Provo Bakery.' Bonus! They're still in business. 'Do you still make buttermilk bars?' I inquired, with fingers and toes and everything but legs crossed. 'We sure do!' she replied.
"And that, Mr. Police Officer with nice teeth, is when I saw you flip on the cherries, make a MacGyver u-turn, and follow me 'til I pulled over. So, you be real nice, and you let me off without a ticket, and I'll bring you back some of those buttermilk bars. As many as you like."
That's where I said I was going.
Know where I get to go now? Traffic school. (But no sooner than 5 days and no later than 14.)

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I loved the design for our wedding. The designer worked well to get the exact colors and layout that we wanted. Note, that the Glitter is an image and not actually glitter."
"Great design with a tint of nostalgia. WPD designers are easy to work with - incorporated more wording on the back of the card at my request. Customer service was also top notch. My cards were delayed - WPD happily sent me another batch for next day delivery. Would definitely recommend this design and WPD in general to friends."
"Absolutely love how the cards turned out! We received so many complements from our family and friends. I used one of our engagement shots and added the ceremony details to personalize. The process was simple and shipping was fast. Customer service was excellent too."
"I honestly cannot say enough about the customer service, customization process, and this beautiful invitation! I was SO nervous to order my wedding invitations online, but I will be telling all my friends to order from wedding paper divas! I was able to COMPLETLY customize my invitations and RSVP's to have the exact format and look I was wanting. Upgrading to the thicker paper is completely worth it for the price! I am beyond happy."
"This is a simple elegant card but the bride and groom didn't like the organge color of the coral, so with the designer's help it was changed to a smoke gray - both the invitation as well as response and details card. Feel free to be creative - you can have your own perfect card! Only dissappointment was they don't provide "inside" envelopes - only outside. Too late to add them now. Should be provided at no extra cost."

The entire list
New Information
Associated Press Of Pakistan, 6 September 2008
ADNAN OKTAR: I have a book entitled, "Islam denounces Terrorism." Our publisher had sent it to all the prominent professors, scientists in Europe. This is a very famous book of mine. It is widely popular. You know that it is also downloadable from the Internet. Last year approximately 35 million copies had been downloaded and this year, the number of copies downloaded by now is well beyond 35 million. They are downloaded for free. HOW CAN TERROR EXIST IN ISLAM? ISLAM IS WATER WHILE TERROR IS THE FIRE. ISLAM IS THE WATER THAT EXTINGUISHES FIRE. WOULD FIRE BURN WATER? WATER EXTINGUISHES FIRE. CONSEQUENTLY SINCE LOVE, COMPASSION, MERCY, RESPECT, DEEP THINKİNG, SINCERITY, COOPERATION ARE IN THE ESSENCE OF RELIGION, IT IS UNLIKELY FOR RELIGION TO SUPPORT TERROR. This is absent in the structure of Islam. Indeed, when someone murders a person, Allah states the murderer to be forgiven. Allah says that it is more auspicious if he is forgiven. Can such a religion ever support terrorism?
Denge TV, 9 December 2008
ADNAN OKTAR: About America considering (Muslims) as terrorists; there are two reasons; first of all, there is no terror in Islam, this is very obvious. Islam means love, compassion, mercy, forgiveness; even Allah wants us to forgive the murderer. There is the concept of retaliation for murder in the Qur'an but Allah says that it is more auspicious if we forgive. It would be very unwise to see the traces of terror in a religion that imparts this. Almighty Allah even wants us to forgive a murderer; this is a religion of peace and love. There is forgiveness everywhere in Islam; there is forgiveness in everything. Forgive, command what is good and forbid what is evil. Love, mercy, compassion and cooperation; they are all explained throughout [the Qur'an]. But also there are terrorists who engage in terrorism. He acts ignorantly and bombs civilians, for instance.He bombs a place where there are women and children. Is he a Muslim? It is open to question. I don't know if such type of people are Muslims.First of all it would be illogical to call them first Muslims and then to lament terrors carried out by a Muslim. First of all we need to determine whether these people are Muslims or not. In my opinion, if a person recklessly dares to kill a child, he can't be a Muslim. This is not something acceptable.Darwinist, materialist and Marxist young people consider Islam to be more interesting in time but they remain as Marxists or Darwinists. They carry out acts of communisit terrorism in the name of Islam. That is to say, whatever he does as a communist, he does it in the name of Islam and he claims that it is more legitimate. The fact is however he has desire for terror and for violence in his soul. If he does not call himself a Muslim, he already carries out such acts as a Marxist. If not, as a fascist. He does it in all cases. That is to say, he has a sick soul.
FOR THIS REASON SAYING THAT THERE IS TERROR IN ISLAM IS HAVING A FLAWED UNDERSTANDING OF RESPECT TOWARDS ISLAM. THIS IS A GRAVE ERROR. ISLAM IS THE RELIGION OF PEACE AS WE CAN ALSO UNDERSTAND FROM THE MEANING OF ISLAM WHICH IS PEACE. For this reason nobody of sound mind would ever accept it.
Time Türk, 4 October 2011
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated the following about the explosion that occured in Mogadishu, Somali:
"FIRST OF ALL THOSE WHO ASSERT THAT THEY COMMIT IT IN THE NAME OF ISLAM ARE TOTALLY DIVORCED FROM ISLAM. INDEED FOR ONE THING, ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION OF TERROR. AS ITS MEANING SUGGESTS, ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE. And those who claim that they are a member of it must not attempt to murder people on behalf of Islam. What they have been doing is utterly out of Islam. It has no relation whatsoever with Islam.What is being done in Somalia right now is unfortunately this. Women and children are being killed there and many of them are defenseless. This cannot be explained by Islam."

On The Level
Part 2: Fast yachts will require smaller fins and drive mechanisms than would slower yachts of similar size.
By George L. Petrie — July 2004
With systems installed on several high-end yachts in the 150-foot-and-up range, including Gallant Lady, Princess Marla, and Aurora B, Quantum Controls arguably has the most prestigious client list in the "stabilization-at-anchor" market. It can also take credit for one of the more challenging installations, in the Sparkman & Stephens-designed and Palmer Johnson-built Anson Bell, a 156-footer, with two pairs of stabilizers that allow reduction of pitch as well as roll.
Stabilization at speed. The advent of solid-state sensors and digital controllers paved the way for stabilization systems on yachts operating at speeds of 20 to 30 knots or more. Older analog systems simply cannot respond quickly enough and pose the potential risk that control-system lags might actually cause the fins to increase roll motion.
Ironically, because fins produce more lift with higher speed, fast yachts will require smaller fins and drive mechanisms than would slower yachts of similar size. Thus, if the stabilizers on an 80-foot yacht designed for 15 knots cost $60,000, the stabilizers on the same-size yacht designed for 25 knots might cost only $40,000.
How good are today's stabilization systems compared to the flopper-stoppers of ten or 15 years ago? According to Milo Halliberg of American Bow Thruster, for yachts in the 40- to 80-foot range, "roll-damping" systems using analog technology typically achieve about 40 percent roll reduction, whereas yachts with digital control systems can expect a 90- to 98-percent roll reduction in beam seas of three to four feet.
Ride control systems. Going beyond roll stabilization, for yachts operating at semiplaning and planing speeds, there are a variety of systems available that provide pitch control in addition to roll reduction. KoopNautic Holland (an affiliate of VT Naiad Marine) makes a system combining specially designed trim tabs and electronic controls that automatically adjusts the tabs to counter the pitch-and-roll forces that are produced by each wave.

• reify •
Pronunciation: ree-ê-fai • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb, transitive
Meaning: 1. To project or perceive an abstraction as an object or thing, as to reify the elements (wind, thunder, rain) as gods. 2. (Marxist Philosophy) To depersonalize, to perceive people as things or objects, as to reify workers as numbers on a spreadsheet.
Notes: The process of reifying is called reification, and a reificatory (the adjective) process it is, too. Someone who reifies would be a reifier, whomever that word could refer to. Notice how the Y is replaced by I before suffixes beginning with E.
In Play: When anything abstract becomes a real object in any sense of the word, it has become reified: "Farley always thought that Gwendolyn was pulchritude reified." Now that Marxism is pretty much dead, everyone is free to use today's word in its second sense: "In all his memos and everything he says, Palmquist reifies his office staff as robots under his complete control."
Word History: The root of today's Good Word is Latin res "thing, affair", also the root of real and the re- in republic. The latter word comes from the Latin phrase res publica "affair(s) of the public". (Russian retains the S in its respublika "republic".) The ablative plural case of res is rebus "by means of things", now used in English to refer to a puzzle in which words are represented by pictures. This root does not show up in many other Indo-European languages. Sanskrit rah "possession" is probably related, but there is no evidence of it in Germanic languages like English. (When it comes to Good Words, Lew Jury's suggestions, like this one, are always the real thing.)

A CENTURY of literary history on Dymock will be celebrated with a charity fundraising run at the end of this month.
The Poets Path Potter offers a choice of three distances - eight miles, 16 miles or a marathon of 26 miles - along scenic countryside paths linked to the famous Dymock Poets.
The event is on Sunday, March 30, and will start at 9am from Wintour's Green in front of Dymock church. Before the race starts, poet and runner Kathy Tytler will recite some poetry
The event uses three paths that were established to commemorate the group of poets who lived in and around Dymock in the run-up to the First World War, which started 100 years ago.
The event has been organised by Ledbury runner Phillip Howells, co-owner of Ledbury sports equipment business Ed and Phil.
Mr Howells said: "The poet Rupert Brooks, well known for his war poetry, lived in the area in 1914, so in a sense, this event is marking that anniversary."
All the proceeds after costs will be equally split between Dymock Parochial Church Council, to contribute towards £13,000 needed for a new roof, Gloucester County Council, for upkeep of the Poets Paths, and to the Ed and Phil charity, Sport for Good.
The event HQ is at Dymock Cricket Club and although participants have been asked to register in advance, entries on the day are expected to be possible. Anyone turning up on the day should arrive in time to be ready to leave the HQ at 8.30am.
The routes pass through the HQ at the end of each loop, but participants are advised they should treat the events as being self-navigating and self-supporting, with no marshals and water stations.
For more information contact organiser Mr Howells on email@example.com or 07802 260906.

Courtney Stodden Used To Look Like This
Sorry for two Courtney Stodden posts today, but these pictures literally came across my desk (Easy…) right after the pumpkin patch fiasco, and they needed to be seen. What you're looking at is not Chloe Sevigny, but a pre-Courtney Stodden Courtney Stodden before she found herself lured in by the seductive glow of tanning salons and essentially selling yourself into sexual slavery under the guise of child bridalry. And what's great about these photos is you can actually see her devolve into a whore right in front of your eyes. It's almost as if some sort of switch is flipped in young girls the minute they take a cellphone pic of themselves next to a toilet. Which judging by Courtney's current age, probably took place around 1989 when she was a young girl of 18, locking herself in her room each night with a can of Aqua Net and dreaming of seducing anyone on TV. Literally anyone.

John Tortorella:
Started by saying that "you guys are really going to give it to me, aren't you?" for the prediction that the Rangers wouldn't be able to win 1-0. Then when he was told that the pressbox was praying it would hold up so we could give it to him, he said, "I was praying that they'd tie it up and we'd win 2-1 in overtime so I wouldn't have to face this."
I called him Nostradamos.
"I'm willing to eat those words, I'll tell you."
I asked him what it says about the Rangers that they've had so much success against the NHL's elite:
"The thing I like about it is that everybody contributes in all the little things. I think that's what's helping us in those types of games, just the little things, the little battles. Like I said before, I think we're a good team and more importantly, the players need to think we're a good team and not worry about who we're playing, or whether you think it's stacked against you, and go play your game. We played harder tonight than the Montreal game. I don't think we played bad (against) Montreal, but tonight was just a grittier effort. Especially after the first period, when I thought we turned it up. So it's growing. It's just growing as a team."
To win a 1-0 game:
"Again, even before the game when we talked, we have been defending well. I thought we defended very well tonight. For a few minutes in the first period it was a bit of a struggle. Most of the middle part of the game, until the last five or six minutes — that's when they got a lot of their chances — I thought we did a really good job defending. And we have to defend first. Boyle's line and Staal and Girardi against the Sedin line, they did one helluva job against some good players, not only defending but making them play in their own end zone a number of shifts. So that's important, and to win those one-goal games, this is a 1-0 game, this is the way it's going to be in the second half."
Best performance of year?
"I don't know. I can't remember all the other ones. I don't want to put it up against anything or determine this is the best one. It was a good answer for us, and that's what we talked about. We haven't had many instances when we haven't answered the correct way after a tough loss. That Montreal game was a tough loss. I thought we were a little sluggish, maybe (after) the trip and three really good wins. But we came back and answered tonight the way we need to play. And I don't think we went in the back door. I thought we played the game we needed to play."
Close to a 60-minute game:
"Yeah, we played good in the first period. The chances were even, but I thought we had the better chances. I just didn't think we were doing enough in the neutral zone to slow them down. That's where I thought we got better as the game went on, is that the D stood up. I thought McDonagh played very well as far as his arrogance standing up. We really wanted to close the neutral zone off against a really good club, and I thought we did a better job as the game went on."
Key to the 5-on3:
"Blocked shots. (Boyle) makes a couple of blocks. We lose the faceoffs. We need to win one of those faceoffs. We don't do it but we end up blocking a couple of shots. I thought our sticks were good when they were making cross-ice plays. Brian Boyle, I mean, he hung himself out there tonight. He had a huge impact on the game tonight."
On the six D:
"It's a group that continues to improve. I really like, you know, I'm watching McDonagh very closely just to see what his mindset is in a game like this. And that was important for us as a team, not to go in and see what type of game this is going to be because of their record and what they'd done coming into this game. And especially for a young guy like that, you want to see how he'd play. And he had the right type of strut in his game as far as closing the neutral zone off. All of them contributed. Danny and Marc get a lot of the credit because of the top line but they have a pretty good unit right on through their team, and so all our guys had to play against some pretty good players."
On the Burrows-Staal incident:
"Oh, It's ridiculous. That's dangerous. The thing that bothers me is, how don't you (the referees) see it? That's what agitated me is that they didn't see it. Sean Avery chips the puck in and gets hit. It's interference.
"But that's a dangerous play on Marc Staal, and it's beyond me how two guys, one guy in the corner and one guy in the neutral zone, can't see it. And we end up down, which usually happens if you retaliate. But if I'm Marc Staal, I'd retaliate too. I'd try to break his ankle on something like that. It's ridiculous."
On the PP:
"It was better. Better puck movement. I thought Gilly did a pretty good job in helping us there. We retrieved second and third pucks to keep it going. I think that helped us. The goal we scored was kind of a busted play off a faceoff, but it was better."
On Gaborik being close (post, breakaway):
"He's coming, and snakebitten. He blocks a shot, and to try to get him over that hill, if he scores that goal it would be a huge thing for him. But he blocks. It's a big play in blocking the shot, his legs are moving, and he's creating. So, that's good news, and we still find a way to win some of these games without his production. But little by little, he's coming."
On Wolski and Gaborik together:
"I think that line tonight needs to understand that there's some grind in the game, too. It can be a dangerous line offensively, but I think we have a little teaching to understand the grind. That's who we are. That's not coming out of our game and no one is exempt from adding grind to their game. That's going to be ongoing. That's where we're going to be teaching Wolly. I'm not sure he totally understands that yet. But I talked to him on the bench during a timeout, that this is where we're going to teach you and this is where you're going to have to progress, because that's a big part of winning and that's a big part of the way this team plays."
On Lundqvist:
"He played really good late there. He made some really good saves in the third period and it's a really good game for him to bounce back. I think he was a little irritated on the goal in the game against Montreal. But I think he had some fight to him, especially at the end. There were a couple of really good close-in chances that he made some great saves on to secure the win."
"Good night, kids."

DEBKAfile Special Report December 26, 2012
While running for reelection, Barack Obama said an Iranian "breakout capacity" must be averted because it meant Tehran could quickly assemble a nuclear weapon before US or Israeli intelligence caught on and had time to intervene. debkafile: Iran is widely presumed to have passed this stage already, and so "breakout capacity" is just another red line to be blown away by Tehran. The talk of 2013 being a critical year for preempting Iran's nuclear capacity is nothing but election spin.

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report January 12, 2012
The US and Israel, while bound tightly by military bonds, are at loggerheads over Iran. The Obama administration wants to cut Israel out of military action against Iran's nuclear sites and prevent it hitting back for an Iranian reprisal. Israel is withholding a commitment to abstain from striking Iran unilaterally.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report December 22, 2011
Barack Obama set about tightening US cooperation with Israel after discovering Iran had embarked on nuclear weaponization. He was persuaded by Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak that there was no time to lose for eradicating Iran's nuclear program – hence the White House flip-flop on attacking Iran.
DEBKAfile Exclusive Report December 22, 2011
Iran has embarked on "activities related to possible weaponization," said American sources Thursday, Dec. 22, thereby crossing the Obama administration's red line. This accounts for the dramatic reversal of the US administration's wait-and-see policy on attacking Iran, as articulated this week by Leon Panetta and top US soldier, Gen. Martin Dempsey. debkafile reports the US and Israeli are now in sync on action against Iran and have tightened cooperation.

Scope and Contents
Letters by Mencken or by his secretary, Rosalind C. Lohrfinck, to Lou Wylie. Wylie was a journalist and publicist who had literary ambitions. In 1927, when she was a writer for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, she submitted a poem to the American Mercury, which Mencken then edited. He responded that her poem had been accepted, and thus began a correspondence that lasted until 1948 when he was disabled by a cerebral thrombosis; thereafter, Lohrfinck maintained the correspondence in Mencken's name until he died in 1956. Mencken's letters were typically brief notes in which he encouraged Wylie's literary efforts; inquired about John McClure, a Times-Picayune editor and poet who had been a founder of The Double Dealer, a New Orleans-based literary magazine; and commented on topics as varied as publishing, literature, politics, religion, and his own health. Sixty-three letters have survived, forty-nine written by Mencken between 1927 and 1948 and fourteen written by Lohrfinck between 1947 and 1956.

SAINT LEO, Fla. –The Saint Leo women's golf team teed it up in the Sunshine State Conference Championship, right next door at Lake Jovita Golf and Country Club on Sunday morning. After the first 18 holes of action, Saint Leo is sitting in sixth place with a team score of 316.
The women were led by Lauren Petty—who played exceptionally well in the first round, carding a score of 76. Petty's opening round play was strong enough to put her in sixth place among all of the individuals in the field.
Two strokes behind Petty was Clare Connolly with a 78. Connolly continued to show her consistency on the course in the first round of this championship and will look to shave a few strokes off of her score from today. Lauren Shuford came in two strokes behind Connolly as she fired an opening round score of 80. Heather Petronis opened play with a score of 82, a score she will look to get lower in the next few days. Rounding out the group was Alyssa Barrett who carded a 99 in today's first round.
"The girls played pretty solid today," head coach Erika Brennan said after the round. "Lauren Petty leading off with a 76—especially not feeling well—was a phenomenal round out of her. Clare Connolly with a 78, I know that she's disappointed in that and we know that she's capable of better things. Shuford and Heather are right there but certainly we can do better, and we know that. To move up in the leaderboard tomorrow we just need to play smart, and make sure that we're hitting a lot of greens in regulation. We're looking for those quality two-putts, not leaving ourselves short-sighted as much as we did today. I think if we're able to do those types of things we're going to be just fine and we will move up the leaderboard."
In sixth place, the Lions trail fifth place Lynn by just two strokes and third place Florida Southern and Barry by just three strokes.
Leading the way after the opening round of the tournament was Nova Southeastern who totaled a team score of 303.
The Lions will resume play tomorrow in the second round with a tee times starting at 9:05 a.m.

Boy, 11, dies after being shot by 4-year-old, police say
Published: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at 9:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at 9:12 p.m.
An 11-year-old Lake City boy who apparently was accidentally shot Sunday by a 4-year-old died from his injuries Tuesday at Shands at the University of Florida.
Police said they arrived at the Cedar Park Apartment complex in Lake City Sunday to find that Jarvan Jackson, 11, had been shot inside one of the apartments.
Jarvan was rushed to Shands in critical condition; Lake City police have since ruled the shooting to be an accident.
Jarvan died at approximately 2:47 p.m. Tuesday, police said.
Meantime, the Lake City Police Department and the Department of Children and Families are investigating how the 4-year-old got access to the gun and whether there was adequate supervision for the children at the home.

ASCO Annual Meeting
June 3, 2012
A long-term study comparing two common hormone therapy schedules showed that intermittent (short breaks in treatment) hormone therapy is less effective than continuous (no breaks in treatment) hormone therapy for men with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with minimal disease spread (cancer that has not spread beyond the spine, pelvis, and lymph nodes). Hormone-sensitive prostate cancer is cancer that uses male sex hormones called androgens, such as testosterone, to grow and spread. Hormone therapy, also called androgen ablation or androgen-deprivation therapy, lowers levels of androgens in the body to help keep the cancer from growing or spreading. Eventually, metastatic prostate cancer (cancer that has spread) develops a resistance to hormone therapy, meaning the treatment stops working to control the cancer's growth.
Hormone therapy causes side effects that can affect a man's quality of life, such as impotence, loss of sexual desire, hot flashes, and weight gain. Because of early research on hormone therapy, doctors thought intermittent hormone therapy could decrease these side effects and delay the cancer from developing a resistance to treatment. This study shows that this may not be the case for some men with prostate cancer.
The 1,500 men who participated in this study received either intermittent hormone therapy or continuous hormone therapy after their prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels fell to 4 nanograms (ng)/milliliter (ml) or lower after seven months of continuous hormone therapy. A decreasing PSA level is a sign that the treatment is working to control the cancer's growth. Because intermittent therapy includes breaks in treatment, the men receiving intermittent hormone therapy received about half as much hormone therapy as the men receiving continuous hormone therapy.
In this study, the men with minimal disease spread who received continuous hormone therapy lived about two years longer than those receiving intermittent hormone therapy (7 years compared with 5 years). Men with prostate cancer that had spread more widely throughout the body lived about the same amount of time whether they had intermittent or continuous hormone therapy.
What this means for patients
"Some doctors recommend intermittent hormone therapy to men with metastatic prostate cancer, believing it will reduce their risk of side effects without compromising their outcome, but these findings show a clear downside to this approach for certain men," said lead author Maha Hussain, MD, Professor of Medicine and Urology at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center in Ann Arbor. "The findings clearly show that intermittent hormone therapy is not safe for all patients with metastatic prostate cancer." Intermittent hormone therapy may still be used for men with prostate cancer that has spread more widely or for men with prostate cancer that has not spread. It's important to talk with your doctor about the recommended schedule of hormone therapy for your specific prostate cancer.
Questions to Ask Your Doctor
- What stage of prostate cancer do I have? What does this mean?
- What are my treatment options?
- Will hormone therapy be a part of treatment?
- What type of treatment schedule do you recommend? Why?
- What are the side effects of treatment? How can they be managed?
