Southern notes: Gennett standing tall
Second baseman proving he can hit in heart of Stars' order
By Guy Curtright / Special to MLB.com | May 1, 2012 6:00 AM ET
Gennett, ranked as the Brewers' No. 6 prospect, had his first career two-homer game and first walk-off blast during a five-game span, showing that the left-handed hitter has plenty of pop despite his size.
"When you hit third, it's a different role," said Gennett, who turned 22 on May 1. "There is more of a responsibility to hit with power and drive in runs."
After batting .309 for Wisconsin of the Class A Midwest League two years ago and .300 in the Florida State League last season, Gennett raised his profile even more with what he did in the Arizona Fall League and in Major League camp with the Brewers.
Gennett followed up a .411 average in the AFL by hitting for the cycle in a Cactus League game and finishing 9-for-20 with the Brewers during Spring Training.
"I'd never hit for the cycle before, so it was a big thrill," said Gennett, who has been accomplishing one first after another.
He got the triple and the double out of the way his first two times up in the split-squad game against the Royals, then homered in his final at-bat to cap a 4-for-5 performance.
"I wasn't trying to hit a home run," Gennett said. "I was just trying to hit the ball hard. When I try to hit a homer, I end of rolling over on the ball or striking out."
Gennett, taken in the 16th round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft, didn't hit many rollers or strike out much during an 11-game hitting streak for the Stars when he went 19-for-47. But April didn't end as well.
Going from red hot to ice cold, Gennett was 2-for-24 in the final six games of the month to drop his average from .341 to .278. That is just the kind of slump that Gennett had been hoping to avoid after a poor end of May a year ago resulted in a battle to get his average back to .300 in the Florida State League.
"My goal is to be consistent," he said. "I want to avoid what happened last year."
Gennett's bat is his ticket to the Major Leagues. He is still somewhat a work in progress on defense, and he doesn't have a lot of speed, despite his nickname.
In fact, Gennett is really more quick-witted than quick-footed.
Exasperated that her 5-year-old son wouldn't keep his car seat buckled, Gennett's mother made a trip to the police station. Trying to get out of trouble, the youngster came up with Scooter as an alias in honor of his favorite Muppet character.
The nickname stuck, primarily because he wouldn't answer to Ryan -- his first name -- for about a year out of fear.
"I thought I might get arrested," he said.
Hall of Famer Phil "Scooter" Rizzuto was 5-foot-6 -- three inches shorter than Gennett.
"I've been told a lot that because of my size, I can't do certain things," Gennett said. "I love it when people say that. I like to prove them wrong."
Power shortage: Mississippi hit just four homers in its 25 games during April, and two of them came in the final three games of the month. Ian Gac had all the homers until Adam Milligan connected Sunday. Mississippi went 11 games without a home run before Gac smacked his third on Friday. The Southern League team with the next fewest homers in April was Birmingham with nine.
Perfect work: Pensacola left-hander Donnie Joseph, the Reds' No. 10 prospect, was dominant in his 10 relief appearances during April, scattering five hits in 10 scoreless innings while striking out 15 and walking three. He was 2-0 with four saves. Joseph had a 6.94 ERA last season when the Reds' Southern League affiliate was at Carolina.
Almost perfect: Chattanooga right-hander Shawn Tolleson, the Dodgers' No. 9 prospect, didn't allow a run until his eighth appearance, and it came on a homer by Mobile slugger Matt Davidson with the Lookouts way ahead Sunday. He had a 0.90 ERA to go with four saves and 18 strikeouts to three walks in 10 innings.
McNutt returns: Tennessee's Trey McNutt came off the disabled list and pitched three scoreless innings Friday against Jackson, allowing just one hit. He struck out two and did not walk a batter while lowering his ERA to 0.61. The right-hander made three starts before going on the DL, but all were four innings or less on length. He is the Cubs' No. 6 prospect.

Roundup: Lacrosse team cruises past Cincinnati
Published: Sunday, February 23, 2014 at 10:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 23, 2014 at 10:36 p.m.
Twelve different Gators found the back of the net en route to a Florida lacrosse win over Cincinnati, 19-6, Sunday at Donald R. Dizney Stadium.
The game, which was scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m., finally began at 3 p.m. after a long delay due to severe weather in the area.
"We got a lot of different looks from a lot of different players, offensively, which was really good to see," UF coach Amanda O'Leary said. "I thought defensively, Mary-Sean (Wilcox) and Cara (Canington) came up with some big saves and our defenders did a really good job of keeping Cincinnati from scoring.
"It was just a team effort in every way and I was glad to see everyone stepping up to contribute out there today. "
Sam Darcangelo led the way for No. 7 Florida (4-1) with a career-high four points on four goals. Rookie Sammi Burgess notched three goals and dished out a career-high three assists to score a career-high six points. Also scoring points for Florida were Carli Marsh (2 goals, assist), Nora Barry (goal, 2 assists), Mollie Stevens (2 goals), Alex Puller (goal, assist), Lauren Lea (goal), Chloe O'Haire (goal), Devon Schneider (goal), Hannah Burnett (goal), Carly Ross (goal), Taylor Bresnahan (goal) and Beth Willertz (assist).
Florida set the tone early, scoring seven goals in less than seven minutes of play over the Bearcats (1-2).
The Gators return to action at 1 p.m. Saturday when they visit No. 12 Stony Brook in Stony Brook, N.Y.
Women's tennis: No. 3 Stanford (7-0) defeated No. 5 Florida 7-0 on Sunday at Stanford. UF falls to 7-2, while the Cardinal are 7-0.
Softball: Due to heavy rain, all four games scheduled for day 3 of the University of Florida Lipton Invitational were canceled.
Florida is back in action Friday, when the Gators face Oregon at 3:30 p.m. at the Diamond 9 Citrus Classic in Orlando. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN.
Women's golf: Due to early morning rains, round one of the Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate Championship in New Orleans was canceled. All teams competing will play 36 holes today.

A 26-year-old Colley Gate woman who drove the wrong way along the M5 when she was more than twice over the alcohol limit has been warned she could be severely punished.
Katy Homer was behind the wheel of her Vauxhall Astra as she travelled north along the southbound carriageway of the motorway near Oldbury.
A HGC lorry driver going the other way tried to warn her by sounding his horn and flashing his lights and she then moved onto the hard shoulder before leaving the motorway where she was arrested by police.
Homer of Clent View Road, Colley Gate then gave the officers an alcohol reading of 79 microgrammes when the legal limit is 35.
She admitted driving dangerously and with excess alcohol and she was remanded on bail until March 28th for the preparation of a pre-sentence report.
Judge John Warner made an interim disqualification order and told Homer, "The fact I am asking for a report does not tie the hands of the Judge that will sentence you."
Mr Malcolm Fowler defending told Wolverhampton Crown Court it was accepted it was "grave" offending and stressed Horton was a woman of previous good character.
He said there was a medical background to the case that would assist the court. Horton, he concluded, had quite serious depression and she was on medication.
The Judge told Homer: "I am sure you appreciate driving the wrong way along a motorwayu when you are over twice the limit is a very serious matter."

Sturdy, attractive, productive!
For latest project status read News & Events Announcement dated September 2013
No longer just a few rare types to choose from!
The first step in creating new varieties is selecting the breeding parents for the initial hybrids. Flowers on dwarf tomato plants are pollinated with pollen from selected heirloom varieties of various colours and shapes. The resulting crosses form a hybrid generation known as the F1 generation, and the seeds of this new generation grow uniform non-dwarf plants and fruits. Seeds saved from these fruits are the F2 generation. (Approximately one quarter of these will grow as dwarf plants due to dwarfism being a recessive trait.)
The next step involves many helping hands! Volunteers in both hemispheres grow plants from these seeds for 5 or 6 more generations, selecting the most promising "children" each season. This careful selection process is needed to stabilise
new varieties, and project participants are free to name new types/varieties that they
discover along the way.

Senate joins House in passing state budget
By Alex Morton, Capital News Service 04/20/12
On the fourth try, the Senate joined the House on Wednesday in approving an $85 billion state budget for the next two years.
One Democrat, Sen. Charles Colgan of Manassas, joined all 20 Senate Republicans in voting for the budget bill, HB 1301. The House had approved the measure, 77-19, on Tuesday.
A day earlier, Colgan and all other Democrats present voted against HB 1301, complaining that it lacked funding for the second phase of the Dulles Rail extension to Loudoun County. That prevented the budget from getting the 21 Senate votes it needed to pass.
Republicans applauded Colgan for his change of heart, and they criticized Democrats for their budget tactics.
"After two months of obstructionism punctuated by one last-ditch attempt by the leaders of the Senate Democratic Caucus to derail the budget process, the General Assembly has fulfilled its constitutional duty to pass a budget," said Senate Majority Leader Thomas Norment of Williamsburg.
Norment said the budget wouldn't have passed "without the statesmanship of Sen. Chuck Colgan. He demonstrated again today why he is one of Virginia's most respected leaders."
Sen. Walter Stosch, R-Henrico, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, said Wednesday "was a good day for the Senate and a great day for Virginians."
"The budget we approved provides much needed funding increases for K-12 public education and for our state-supported colleges and universities," Stosch said. "It also provides critical funding for transportation needs across the state, our local governments, health-care services, our state parks and all operations of state government."
Democrats said that by blocking the budget, the party forced Republicans to restore cuts in government services.
"The governor proposed taking $100 million from public education and public safety to finance transportation, slashed the health-care safety net and cut millions from the cost of competing funding for hard-to-staff positions in public school," said Delegate Mark Sickles of Franconia, who chairs the House Democratic Caucus.
"While this is not the budget that we would have crafted, it is a vast improvement over the original proposal."
The budget will take effect July 1. Republican officials warned that by holding up the budget process, Democrats were risking a state government shutdown and preventing local governments from preparing their own spending plans.
"We said on several occasions that this budget would come in due course," said the Democratic leader in the House, Delegate David Toscano of Charlottesville. "With a budget in place, our schools and local governments will be able to adopt their own budgets well in advance of the close of the fiscal year."
Sickles said Democrats "remain hopeful that we can find a solution to the funding dilemma on the Dulles Toll Road and provide toll relief to the families who will face high skyrocketing tolls without additional assistance from the commonwealth."
On Tuesday, citing a recent study, Senate Minority Leader Richard Saslaw of Fairfax said the Dulles Metrorail project was vital to his region.
"In the 'Top Five Public Works in America,' the No. 1 project was the Metrorail to Dulles. It has already caused major things to happen such as job creation, which totals about 300,000 jobs in the Arlington and Clarendon area," Saslaw said.
Without funding for the Metrorail extension, Saslaw said, Loudoun County residents eventually would be paying almost $12 each way to commute to work in the Washington, D.C., area.
Because of the dispute, the General Assembly failed to pass a budget during its regular legislative session, which ended March 10. Since then, a conference committee of House members and senators has been trying to hammer out a compromise.
How they voted
Here is how the Senate voted Wednesday on "HB 1301 Budget Bill."

Tribune de Genève one of the daily French newspapers published in the Geneva canton of Switzerland mentioned Harun Yahya conferences to be held at Beaulieu Palace in Lausanne in its May 12, 2010 edition. The newspaper with 175.000 readers, Adnan Oktar was mentioned as "the man who refutes Darwin's theory with the name of Allah."
Posters introducing Harun Yahya's conference in Lausanne began to appear on the walls of train stations in French-talking regions of Switzerland and many other cities of Switzerland.
Lecturer: Harun Yahya, the most prominent Muslim Creationist.
Lecturer: Harun Yahya, the most prominent Muslim Creationist.
Hard to miss these posters. In recent days, posters striking out Darwin's theory of evolution flood the streets and train stations in French-talking regions of Switzerland and other major cities of Switzerland. An impressive announcement campaign is being held to announce the arrival of a famous Muslim Creationist in the Beaulieu Palace in Lausanne. On May 25, Harun Yahya whose real name is Adnan Oktar plans to unveil his vision of the world.
Harun Yahya was very much talked about with his Atlas of Creation being distributed in schools in Geneva, Belgium and France in 2007. In this luxurious 770-page book, he presents his Creationist ideas. Harun Yahya is the leader of the most effective anti-evolutionist campaign in the Muslim world. For him, the deception of Darwinism has caused violent ideologies such as "racism, fascism and communism" and other barbaric world views." On one of his many websites, the destruction of the towers of the World Trade Center is attributed to Darwinists, as the source of terrorist activities…

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
In many spheres of life, timing is everything – and nowhere is this truism more relevant than in B2B sales. Sometimes an executive decision maker can be ready to pull the trigger on a purchase, while at other times, the sales cycle can take months or even years. For this reason, arming your sales reps with as much timely and accurate sales intelligence as possible can spell the difference between success and failure, between closing and walking.
This type of intelligence provides your sales reps with the right opportunity at the right time, helping ensure that they get in front of the right person with the right value proposition. Triggers give reps a birds-eye view into the types of business decision-making activities within target accounts – both prospects and customers – that give them a leg up on the competition.
How do you this?It happens by leveraging triggers, which are basically any nugget of business intelligence that alerts you to activity within an organization that signals buying potential. Having insight into the right triggers keeps you abreast of these events and turns them into a door opener.
According to research from Aberdeen Group, companies that support sales team with sales intelligence – including triggers – see a 28.4% increase in year-over-year revenue. In another study, Aberdeen found that 81% of companies that deployed a sales intelligence solution saw significant annual gains in team quotas. And CSO Insights found that effective use of sales intelligence increases revenue productivity per sales rep by 17%.
Let me elaborate with a quick explanation of the three main types of sales triggers – and how to put them to work for you.
Leadership moves
Want to know when a new CIO, director of procurement, VP of IT or chief marketing officer has been hired? These types of triggers provide a quadruple whammy, signaling not only a buying opportunity at the company where the executive was hired, but also at the company he left; the one his predecessor moved to; and the one his replacement came from.
How to take advantage of them: Use Google Alerts to get an email whenever a business decision maker is mentioned online, or LinkedIn to learn when they change their profile. Consider paid alert services like SalesLoft, or a sales intelligence system that provides not only alerts but also insights into a department's organizational structure to see who is calling the shots.
Projects and initiatives
If you're in IT sales, for example, how important would it be to know in advance when a company is planning a major migration to Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013, Oracle Database 12C or some other key technology platform? One major initiative could potentially spawn 10 or 20 smaller projects, some of which may be right in your wheelhouse.
How to take advantage of them:Again, Google Alerts and SalesLoft can help here with keyword alerts based on what you have to offer. Say you're a rep in Portland, Ore., an alert can tell you a company is opening a new office nearby. A sales intelligence tool takes it to the next level, alerting you to projects before they see the light of day – better than having a brother-in-law working there!
Identified by marketing
This includes information from marketing campaigns and events, like who visited your site and when, for how long and what they did, or on who checked in at your tradeshow booth. So if someone clicks on a pricing sheet two months after downloading a white paper from your product page, this should immediately alert the appropriate sales rep to jump into action. InsideSale.com reports that if someone is contacted within three minutes of being on your website, their chances of converting and making a purchase are 600 times higher! After that, the odds fall off rather quickly.
How to take advantage of them: Here, marketing automation tools like Pardot, Marketo or Eloqua come into play. They tell you every detail about responses to your marketing efforts online and offline. Having the ability to respond immediately to this type of trigger is a crucial success factor.
If you're in B2B sales and you're not being alerted to buying triggers, you're missing key intelligence. They provide automatic opportunities to quickly get in front of key business decision makers. And if you're not gaining access to departmental organizational charts in the appropriate department – IT, HR, marketing, etc. – it's that much harder to tell the chiefs from the Indians, and you could get bogged down in a cubeville quagmire with no closing in site.

Public Affairs Reporting
Academic Year: 2009 – 2010
The Public Affairs Reporting (PAR) degree is designed for the student who wishes to specialize in news coverage of governmental affairs. A primary goal is for graduates to obtain employment in which they can report or interpret governmental activity for the population at large. The objectives of the year-long program are to graduate men and women who are able not only to understand and interpret public affairs but also to communicate with the clarity, accuracy, and speed demanded of deadline reporters of the highest rank. The program directs students to an investigation of the interactions between the news media and society and the news media and government and encourages students to expand the knowledge of such interaction through research and experimentation. Program faculty also expect that each graduate, whatever the skill level upon entering the program, be proficient in reporting, editing, and writing at graduation. The unique nature of the program is derived from the simultaneous pursuit of various goals; none is considered paramount.
Entrance Requirements
The program is open only to students who have completed the baccalaureate degree. Students are selected primarily on the basis of writing ability, interest in government and public affairs, potential for a career in journalism, and academic record.
The deadline for filing applications with the program director is April 1. Application forms may be obtained by contacting the program office. Applicants must submit samples of their written work, a narrative statement on why they feel qualified and want to enroll in the program, and three references. Applicants are required to take a literacy/competency and writing test and are interviewed by the PAR Admissions Committee, comprised of faculty and journalists.
The program director serves as principal advisor for PAR students, although special advising requests may be referred to other faculty members with particular expertise. After students are accepted into the program, they should contact their advisors for an appointment before initial registration.
Grading Policy
PAR students must receive a grade of B or better in any required PAR course to receive credit toward the degree.
Major Requirements
The M.A. in Public Affairs Reporting requires 40 hours of graduate-level course work. In the fall semester, students enroll in two required courses: PAR 501 Advanced Public Affairs Reporting (six hours) and PAR 510 Developing Public Policy in Illinois (four hours). Students choose other courses after consultation with their advisors.
During the spring semester, students begin an internship with an experienced professional journalist covering state government and the Illinois General Assembly. This internship (12 credit hours) includes a weekly seminar. PAR 503 Legislative Issues (two hours) is also required in this semester. After consultation with the advisor, a student registers for other courses to maintain a full course load.
Students participate in the second phase of the internship (four credit hours) during the summer term (until July 1). This internship period is considerably more intense, as it coincides with the conclusion of the legislative session. During the six-month internship, students receive a monthly stipend and tuition waiver.
Before graduation, students must complete a professional portfolio that demonstrates mastery of public affairs journalism. The portfolio will include a variety of hard news, analyses, in-depth and feature stories the student has reported and written and that have been published or aired by a professional media outlet, along with project memos detailing the news judgments involved in reporting and writing the longer pieces.
Required Courses (40 Hrs.)
PAR 501 Advanced Public Affairs Reporting 6 Hrs.
PAR 503 Legislative Issues 2 Hrs.
PAR 504 Internship I 12 Hrs.
PAR 505 Internship II 4 Hrs.
PAR 510 Developing Public Policy in Illinois 4 Hrs.
Electives 12 Hrs.

Currently, a one teraflop workstation/server is in the $100,000 to $200,000 range. If IBM could have developed a 333 gflop core, they would have kept it for themselves. I would expect these general purpose cores to be about 1/10 of what they claim or about 100 gflops for the 3 cores.
Nonetheless, they have built us an impressive game rig and i am looking forward to it. Reply

dreamcast used heatpipe cooling, not water cooling.
Not entirely related, but it sucks that Conker's bad fur day for the N64 and for the xbox came out and again will come out as soon as the console it came on is replaced by the next generation console that same year. Reply
finbarqs - Friday, May 13, 2005 - linkwater cooling (from my experience) does not cool better than air cooling. Well.. that's not entirely accurate. Depending on what fan we're using! For watercooling, i think i got it to be the same temperatures as a 4000 RPM fan on my northwood proc. Hrm... but what watercooling does excel is when i had a peltier in it... WOO WEE!!! then it got cold!!! water cooling is over rated, unless you want a quiet system. I think that's why they went this route. Also, i've read that this console will be under $300. For something this powerful, it is cheap. You can't even get a video card this cheap! Reply
Swaid - Friday, May 13, 2005 - linkcreathir
And in the real world we call that a heat pipe, that is a far shot from a water cooling system as heat pipes consist mainly amonia (or any other liquid with simular properties) and yes there can be some h2o in it for a greater specific heat index. Reply

creathir - Friday, May 13, 2005 - linkI suppose water cooling is hard to believe for most here in the PC world because most PC users are used to the giant tanks of water and stuff with tubes coming out the back of your machine. Water cooling in these cases is because the heat dissipation is relatively similar to that of with just air, but ya don't have to have the high RPM/giant fans that you do with air solutions... It really does make a lot of sense why they do it...

They know that the gamers are going to be watching all the coverage of E3 next week, or they are reading the specs online, they don't need to appeal to us on MTV. They are on there to catch the interest of the people that otherwise wouldn't be too interested. Marketers are smarter than you give them credit for.
"water cooled (I also doub't that) or not."
What, you think they are going to just straight up lie about that? Again, how stupid do you think they are? They wouldn't be so a big, rich, powerful corporation that out of nowhere broke into the console industry if they weren't smart.
I think the system looks pretty sexy, and as more coverage comes out of games and stuff I'm getting more and more excited about this, as stupid as the MTV thing was I understand it wasn't meant for me. I'm really looking forwards to what comes out of E3. Reply

It does look very close, here's my MCE shot (ignore the file name, the MTV Guide was off yesterday for some reason but the timestamp explains all):
As for the cores being really hot - remember that they are much simpler cores than any modern day desktop CPU, so don't assume they would eat the same amount of power. And it is also possible that IBM is using the same sort of dynamic domino logic in the Xbox 360 CPU as they did in Cell to keep power consumption down.

bldckstark - Friday, May 13, 2005 - link#22 - According to whatis.com at the following link;
"A teraflop is a measure of a computer's speed and can be expressed as:
A trillion floating point operations per second
10 to the 12th power floating-point operations per second
2 to the 40th power flops
Today's fastest parallel computing operations are capable of teraflop speeds. Scientists have begun to envision computers operating at petaflop speeds."
If 333Gflop processors only exist in Star Trek then I guess warp drive for my car is just around the corner!!
Houdani - Friday, May 13, 2005 - link22: Anand yanked that stat out of the fact sheet. Of course, they don't explicitly state whether all of those flops are occurring solely within the CPU or a combo of the CPU & GPU.

I want to center maybe one, two, three four div(s) in a parent div. So "child" divs can be variable.I have one big picture and beneath this picture I want to put the thumbs centered under the big picture.So as I said the number of child divs can vary, I mean sometimes is it one div, another time 2 or three divs. But independet of the number of divs, I want to have these divs centered beneath the big picture.
I hope that I'm clear enough. Is this possible with css?
Here is the linkhttp://www.wsvvolleybal.nl/heren1.html
Do you have an example of what you want? I mean, I've seen the page you linked to but I'm still uncertain of the effect that you want to acomplish. Do you want each picture centered, one on top of another, or do you want all of those pictures centered but side by side?
If the effect you're after is the one you're showing in your page, it looks like you got it (even if the html is a bit too much and maybe it could be cleaned)
No, on top of each other but centered side by side.
C = center of the big pictuer/div whats above my thumbsM = margin between the two thumbs for example 5pxT1... = Thumb picture
If I have one thumb picture that it should like this
If I have three thumb pictures that it should like this
Make this it more clear what I mean.
Just have a <p> or <div> with text-align:center;, and then put the <img>s in there, and put an equal left/right margin on each of them, that should do what you need.
No that is not enough. The thumbs are in a div.I ahave already text-align: center and if I do margin:0 auto or margin 0 5px doesn't help. I have just tried it with firebug. I add float:left; then the thumbs are side by side but not centered.
You could try setting the divs to display: inline-block; and the partent div text-align: center. E.g.
#team_pagewrapper {
text-align: center;
#team_thumbs_wrapper {
display: inline-block;
However, be aware of a major flaw here: you are using the the #team_thumbs_wrapper ID more than once, which isn't allowed with an ID. Use a class instead, which is allowed to be used multiple times.
Yes, I see it now as well and there is another thing I see now that the "id=team_thumbs_wrapper" around every thumb. It's a modification of an earlier page. I didn't noticed it. Stupid. I know you can use a 'id' only once on page. I will first change this, and look again.
Thanks anyway.
Yes, browsers seem to let you off the hook with the multiple IDs, but still better to change them to classes. But either way, that code I gave seem s to work for me.
Ok this is the solution in combination with solving my two other errors:- because first I had only one thumb and I have made it now that it is possible to add more then one thumb. But I have had forgotton to rename the id to a class- I my for loop I have put thumb wrapper div. So every thumb had is his 'own' thumb wrapper which is wrong.
My problem is solved.

At least 20 government soldiers have been killed in twin explosions in the southern Syrian city of Deraa, activists report.
Two cars packed with explosives were detonated at a military camp on Saturday, killing and wounding "dozens", the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
State news agency SANA reported that two car bomb attacks had hit the city, causing casualties and significant damage, but provided no further details.
A third explosion later hit another military outpost in Deraa, causing no casualties, the Observatory said.
No group has claimed responsibility for the bombings, but car bombs targeting the military have been a regular tactic of the various rebel groups fighting President Bashar al-Assad's army.
The opposition rebels have infiltrated in the past two months key areas in the capital Damascus, the northern western provinces and Daraa, showing they are now better equipped than before, according to activists.
Explosions targeting state security institutions have recently become frequent in and outside the capital Damascus, they added.
Government troops and insurgents also on Saturday fought fierce battles near the Syrian-Turkish border, prompting more civilians to flee into Turkey.
Heavy shelling and air raids were reported in the restive Syrian town of Maaret al-Noumaan and other rebel-held areas in the northern province of Idlib.
"Some 20,000 have fled areas near the Syrian-Turkish border in the past 24 hours," said Rami Abdel Rahman, the head of the opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
"Some of them managed to enter the Turkish territories. Others sought refuge in Kurdish areas inside Syria, which are fairly calmer," he told DPA.
A total of 50 people were killed across Syria on Saturday, including eight civilians near Damascus, reported the Observatory.
The opposition says that more than 37,000 people have been killed in Syria since the start of the uprising in March 2011. The figure could not be independently verified.
Meanwhile, Lebanese Prime Minister Nagib Mikati has approached several countries to help Lebanon cope with an increase in the number of Syrian refugees, a government official told DPA on condition of anonymity.
The Lebanese Social Affairs Ministry expects the number of Syrians registered as refugees in the country to rise from 150,000 to 200,000 soon, reported the Lebanese newspaper An Nahar,
Since Thursday, 9000 Syrians have crossed into Turkey, while 1000 each arrived in Lebanon and Jordan, said the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

Semaphores in Linux
Pages: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
NOTE: System V semaphores are controlled by the user, but can be a problem to the developer is the permissions on the semaphore. The structure that maintains this information is
struct semid_ds.
struct semid_ds { struct ipc_perm sem_per; /* operation's permission structure */ struct sem * sem_base; /* pointer to first sem in a set */ ushort sem_nsems; /* number of sem in a set */ time_t sem_otime; /*time of last semop */ time_t sem_ctime; /* time of last change */ };
For every set of semaphores in the system, the kernel maintains a structure of information that is defined in
sys/ipc.h. To get the details of the semaphore set shown above, the
IPC_STAT flag is used and a pointer to structure
semid_ds is passed. The member variable that gets and sets the permissions is
sem_per. Let's see a simple example:
#include <pthread.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <semaphore.h> #include <sys/sem.h> int main() { int semid; struct semid_ds status; semid = semget(( key_t )0x20,10,IPC_CREAT|0666); if(semid == -1) { perror("sem creation failed:Reason"); exit(0); } //get the permission details semctl(semid,0,IPC_STAT,&status); printf("owners uid is %u\n",status.sem_perm.uid); printf("group uid is %u\n",status.sem_perm.gid); printf("Access mode is %c\n",status.sem_perm.mode); //set the permissions details status.sem_perm.uid = 102; status.sem_perm.gid = 102; status.sem_perm.mode = 0444; semctl(semid,0,IPC_SET,&status); return 1; }
Note that the setting of permission is only allowed if the new permission set is a subset of the original permission, and not a superset.
POSIX Semaphores
The potential learning curve of System V semaphores is much higher when compared to POSIX semaphores. This will be more understandable after you go through this section and compare it to what you learned in the previous section.
To start with, POSIX comes with simple semantics for creating, initializing, and performing operations on semaphores. They provide an efficient way to handle interprocess communication. POSIX comes with two kinds of semaphores: named and unnamed semaphores.
Named Semaphores
If you look in the man pages, you'll see that a named semaphore is identified by a name, like a System V semaphore, and, similarly, the semaphores have kernel persistence. This implies that these semaphores, like System V, are system-wide and limited to the number that can be active at any one time. The advantage of named semaphores is that they provide synchronization between unrelated process and related process as well as between threads.
A named semaphore is created by calling following function:
sem_t *sem_open(const char *name, int oflag, mode_t mode , int value);
- name
- Name of the semaphore to be identified.
- oflag
- Is set to
O_CREATfor creating a semaphore (or with
O_EXCLif you want the call to fail if it already exists).
- mode_t
- Controls the permission setting for new semaphores.
- value
- Specifies the initial value of the semaphore.
A single call creates the semaphore, initializes it, and sets permissions on it, which is quite different from the way System V semaphores act. It is much cleaner and more atomic in nature. Another difference is that the System V semaphore identifies itself by means of type int (similar to a fd returned from
open()), whereas the
sem_open function returns type
sem_t, which acts as an identifier for the POSIX semaphores.
From here on, operations will only be performed on semaphores. The semantics for locking semaphores is:
int sem_wait(sem_t *sem);
This call locks the semaphore if the semaphore count is greater than zero. After locking the semaphore, the count is reduced by 1. If the semaphore count is zero, the call blocks.
The semantics for unlocking a semaphore is:
int sem_post(sem_t *sem);
This call increases the semaphore count by 1 and then returns.
Once you're done using a semaphore, it is important to destroy it. To do this, make sure that all the references to the named semaphore are closed by calling the
sem_close() function, then just before the exit or within the exit handler call
sem_unlink() to remove the semaphore from the system. Note that
sem_unlink() would not have any effect if any of the processes or threads reference the semaphore.
Unnamed Semaphores
Again, according to the man pages, an unnamed semaphore is placed in a region of memory that is shared between multiple threads (a thread-shared semaphore) or processes (a process-shared semaphore). A thread-shared semaphore is placed in a region where only threads of an process share them, for example a global variable. A process-shared semaphore is placed in a region where different processes can share them, for example something like a shared memory region. An unnamed semaphore provides synchronization between threads and between related processes and are process-based semaphores.
The unnamed semaphore does not need to use the
sem_open call. Instead this one call is replaced by the following two instructions:
{ sem_t semid; int sem_init(sem_t *sem, int pshared, unsigned value); }
- pshared
- This argument indicates whether this semaphore is to be shared between the threads of a process or between processes. If pshared has value 0, then the semaphore is shared between the threads of a process. If pshared is non-zero, then the semaphore is shared between processes.
- value
- The value with which the semaphore is to be initialized.
Once the semaphore is initialized, the programmer is ready to operate on the semaphore, which is of type
sem_t. The operations to lock and unlock the semaphore remains as shown previously:
sem_wait(sem_t *sem) and
sem_post(sem_t *sem). To delete a unnamed semaphore, just call the
sem_destroy function.
The last section of this article has a simple worker-consumer demo that has been developed by using a POSIX semaphore.
System V Semaphores versus POSIX Semaphores
There are a number of differences between System V and POSIX semaphores.
- One marked difference between the System V and POSIX semaphore implementations is that in System V you can control how much the semaphore count can be increased or decreased; whereas in POSIX, the semaphore count is increased and decreased by 1.
- POSIX semaphores do not allow manipulation of semaphore permissions, whereas System V semaphores allow you to change the permissions of semaphores to a subset of the original permission.
- Initialization and creation of semaphores is atomic (from the user's perspective) in POSIX semaphores.
- From a usage perspective, System V semaphores are clumsy, while POSIX semaphores are straight-forward
- The scalability of POSIX semaphores (using unnamed semaphores) is much higher than System V semaphores. In a user/client scenario, where each user creates her own instances of a server, it would be better to use POSIX semaphores.
- System V semaphores, when creating a semaphore object, creates an array of semaphores whereas POSIX semaphores create just one. Because of this feature, semaphore creation (memory footprint-wise) is costlier in System V semaphores when compared to POSIX semaphores.
- It has been said that POSIX semaphore performance is better than System V-based semaphores.
- POSIX semaphores provide a mechanism for process-wide semaphores rather than system-wide semaphores. So, if a developer forgets to close the semaphore, on process exit the semaphore is cleaned up. In simple terms, POSIX semaphores provide a mechanism for non-persistent semaphores.

Day 2 at #AdobeSummit
May 17, 2012
Yesterday Adobe customers and partners, speakers and delegates descended on Battersea Park in London for day two of Adobe's Digital Marketing Summit – which got started literally with a bang!
The Digital Future
Computers, TV's and minds where blown by the future casting of Nils Muller, during the opening keynote, in which Muller took the audience on a time travelling journey to 2021. He explored the "web of things" – when technology takes on a social life of its own, and further on into the age of connectedness, when all human experiences may one day be augmented by digital technology and data, including contact lenses that recognise faces (and pull in social network updates!) to communication technology controlled entirely by the user's thoughts!
Behind The Scenes @ Adobe.com
Once the audience was transported back to the present day, they had a chance to go behind the scenes of adobe.com – with a fascinating presentation of how personalisation, content and optimisation have helped the adobe.com make the most out of every visitor. The team behind the site run 8-10 tests every week, changing up style and content to find the perfect mix.
Throughout the day, seminars and breakouts took delegates into the depths of web experience management, social, mobile, privacy and personalisation – wrestling with the big issues of marketing in the age of the "digital self" (for more on that check out our blog wrap up from yesterday!).
The Future Of Digital Publishing
Delegates in the digital publishing track heard from Condé Nast, who have sold over 250,000 versions of their print magazines as digital versions, across titles such as Wired and Vanity Fair. Jamie Bill from Condé Nast walked through his vision of the future for digital publishing and magazines. He believes "a magazine is no longer a printed product – it is a brand", something which the CN team are trying to support across all their titles, with social media content, online extras and tablet editions.
The day wrapped up with some exclusive sneak peeks of what's coming soon to Adobe Digital Marketing Suite which we be sharing with you here on the blog soon, so stay tuned! You can keep up with all the reactions from Summit by following @AdobeUK and @AdobeSummit and join the conversation by leaving your comments here or on Twitter using #AdobeSummit.

Philosophy Index: Aesthetics · Epistemology · Ethics · Logic · Metaphysics · Consciousness · Philosophy of Language · Philosophy of Mind · Philosophy of Science · Social and Political philosophy · Philosophies · Philosophers · List of lists
In philosophy a proximate cause is an event which is closest, or immediately responsible, for producing some observed result. This exists in contradistinction to a higher-level ultimate (also called distal) cause which is usually thought of as the "real reason" something occurred.
- Example: Why did the ship sink?
- Proximate cause: Because it was holed beneath the waterline, water entered the hull and the ship became heavier than the water which supported it, so it couldn't stay afloat.
- Ultimate cause: Because the ship hit a rock which tore open the hole in the ship's hull.
In most situations, an ultimate cause may itself be a proximate cause for a further ultimate cause. Hence we can continue the above example as follows:
- Example: Why did the ship hit the rock?
- Proximate cause: Because the ship failed to change course to avoid it.
- Ultimate cause: Because the ship was under autopilot and the autopilot received bad data from the GPS.
Separating proximate from ultimate causations frequently leads to better understandings of the events and systems concerned.
Proximal and distal explanations in clinical psychologyEdit
The notion of proximal and distal factor in the causation of mental health problems is a key component of the thinking of David Smail who emphasises that peoples difficulties are likely to be more influenced by distal, social and economic forces, than proximal forces such as relationship stress that can be addressed in therapy.
In EthologyEdit
- Proximate causation: Explanation of an animal's behavior based on trigger stimuli and internal mechanisms.
- Ultimate causation: Explanation of an animal's behavior based on evolution - why this specific trait was favored by natural selection.

Mad River Glen – Ski It If You Can!
January 11, 2014 by Corey A. Edwards
Perched on the backbone of the Green Mountains, Mad River Glen has been ranked by SKI magazine as the most challenging resort on the East coast, due in no small part to having a 2,000 foot (610 m) vertical drop – this despite the fact that it's not that large of a resort!
Mad River Glen is a committed "skier's mountain," too – meaning it is one of the few ski resorts in the US to enforce a total ban on snowboarding. Now, while this is bad news for snowboarders, it's great for those skiers out there who have, for what ever reason, formed a, shall we say, "definite opinion" about sharing the slope with snowboarders – or even those who have *no* opinion on snowboarders.
A lot of Mad River Glen's approach is hand's off: they don't groom the slopes much, if at all, preferring to let things lay as they land, as it were. This means the trails can have a decided natural feel to them – and boy do they vary in difficulty!

Owner Phil has built the ultimate biker/Nascar/BBQ restaurant. The beer is the coldest in town, the smoked chiken wings are superb as are the ribs and the Chopped On Top is a personal favorite (Baked potato with any of the BBQ meats loaded with cheese and all the other artery-clogging good stuff!)
The live bands and plethora of motorcycles make for an atmosphere everyone feels comfortable in. No one is out of place at Up N Smoke.
They've also been voted coldest beer, best wings by the Star Telegram. The wings and beer complement the great wait-staff and fun atmosphere.
If you like BBQ you'll love Up N Smoke, and they are only 15 minutes south of the Texas Motor Speedway.

LARAMIE, Wyo. - Three former University of Wyoming football standouts earned their shot at the next level over the weekend, when they received invitations to NFL free-agent minicamps.
Alvester Alexander, Tashaun Gipson and Brian Hendricks will participate in upcoming minicamps with three NFL teams. Running back Alexander signed with the Chicago Bears, defensive back Gipson signed with the Cleveland Browns and linebacker Hendricks signed with the Washington Redskins.
A junior in 2011, Alexander found the end zone often in his UW career, finishing with 27 career rushing TDs in three seasons. That was third on UW's all-time list. That total included a single-game record five touchdowns versus CSU in 2010 and 14 for the season, a UW single-season record. He finished with 2,127 rushing yards, ninth in UW history.
Gipson was a ball-hawking defensive back as a four-year starter. He ended his career starting all 50 games he played at UW. Versus CSU in the last regular-season game of 2011, Gipson snagged his ninth interception of his career, moving him into fourth-place all-time in UW history with four other players. He played at safety and cornerback for the Pokes. He was a Second Team All-Mountain West selection as a senior.
Hendricks was a four-year contributor for Wyoming and produced one of the best careers at the linebacker position in UW history. As a senior, Hendricks had 13 tackles in his last game as a Cowboy, the New Mexico Bowl, to move to No. 11 on UW's all-time tackles list. Hendricks finished his Wyoming career with 309 tackles, just two shy of tying for 10th place. His 23 tackles vs. Air Force was the best single-game performance in the NCAA in 2009 and set the Wyoming school record. It also tied him for the Mountain West single-season record. Hendricks was a three-time all-conference selection in the Mountain West, earning Second Team honors as a senior.

Lancashire continued their impressive start to the new season with a comfortable Clydesdale Bank 40 20-run win over the ECB Unicorns at a new look Old Trafford yesterday.
History was made with bowling coming from north to south for the first time in a competitive match after the re-orientation of the square as part of the ground's continued redevelopment.
A 1,600-strong crowd saw bowlers bowl from the Pavilion and Statham Ends – and they also saw the Lightning defend their competitive 201-5 on a slow and low pitch.
Timing was a problem for batsmen on both sides, but Stephen Moore scored 50, Steven Croft 41 and Farveez Maharoof a brisk 38 not out from 27 balls to help take 50 runs from the last five overs of the innings.
Captain Glen Chapple, a shock selection after missing the four-day win over Somerset last week due to a tight calf, then led a strong bowling effort with three wickets to help reduce the Unicorns to 38-3 early in their chase.
He bowled Michael Thornely, had Jackson Thompson caught behind by Gareth Cross and had Chris Benham caught by Paul Horton at first slip.
Sri Lankan all-rounder Farveez Maharoof also took three wickets to help restrict the visitors to 181-9.
Five spinners selected in the match was an early indication that the pitch would be slow, and so it proved.
Left-armers Simon Kerrigan, on his one-day debut, and Stephen Parry bowled miserly spells, while the more experienced Gary Keedy also struck to virtually end hopes of a recovery.
Chapple, who ran in from the Statham End, said: "It was like playing at a new ground.
"It's probably not as hard as an Old Trafford pitch normally is. It was dry and crusty on top, and we'll have to see how the games pan out for the rest of the season here."
Lancashire will be hoping to continue their good start to the season when they face Sussex at Hove in the LV= County Championship tomorrow, who they beat at Liverpool a fortnight ago.

I don't know about you, but I had no idea what denization was, however thanks to The National Archives I now know that it is a form of British citizenship that gives a person some, but not all of the right of a British citizen. Naturalisation gives a person full citizen rights
National Archives have announced the release of what I think are a brick wall buster set of documents. Thousands of 19th century records concerning immigrants into Britain 1801 – 1871 who applied to become British. To become citizens the applicants had to present the Home Office with details of their name, age, trade and how long they had lived in Britain. It is these application papers that are now available online.
The applicants came from across the world, most seemed to have settled in London.
If you have ancestors whose surnames seem a little unusual and they simply appeared out of no-where then this is a set of records you should search. A name search is free and it costs £3.36 for an instant download of a PDF of the documents.
As an example I did a search under Smith and found Ernest Smith from Prussia whose naturalisation papers dated 1 July 1862 covers 7 pages, John Christopher Smith original country not given whose naturalisation papers dated 1830 covers 22 pages and Emilie Smith from Naples whose denization papers dated 4 July 1833 covers 5 pages. There were a total of 34 separate entries under the name Smith. So it can be seen that some files have a considerable amount of information.
To access these records click on http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/Home/OnlineCollections and enter the surname and the government reference HO 1 under Advance Search and then click on search.

LINKWithin the next 24 hours, there are more cuts coming. The Colts are expected to release veteran wide receiver Brandon Stokley on March 1, which will make him one of the top free-agent wide receivers on the market.
The Colts, who use a lot of set with two wide receivers and two tight ends, won the Super Bowl with Stokley injured last season, so they figured they could go on without him in 2007.
Stokley ruptured his Achilles' tendon last season, but is expected to be fully recovered in time for training camp. And with this being a weak crop of free-agent wide receivers, Stokley should command plenty of interest.
Well he'll be missed, a great guy just some bad luck and timing injury wise.

Dave Sloan, CATA president and Chicago Auto Show general manger, believes this relationship is one that's good for auto show attendees and exhibitors.

"It also brings the show into the homes of millions of online visitors." The virtual experience uses 360° Revo's technology, allowing online users to navigate and explore the auto show floor and visit individual exhibits. In addition to providing fluid navigation, 360° Revo enhances the user experience by taking them inside vehicles on the exhibit floor, giving them an up-close look from the comfort of their own homes.

DPS Summit APAC - Responsive Content. Is it a Reality for Brands?
Consumers demand more of brands. How do brands then communicate and produce content to attract and retain customers? Gone are annual reviews of marketing collateral and websites. Brands must react to market conditions, reflect current trends and capture current market trends on the spot as they are evolving. Brands must produce content that grabs customers in the moment. Can brands learn from an industry which has a history of producing fresh content, daily weekly or monthly? Is responsive content a reality for brands?
