proposed a new industry benchmark to measure the power efficiency for the
High-Productivity Computing (HPC) segment, which includes data center
computing. This metric, the Green Computing Performance Index (GCPI), measures
system-level performance-per-watt.
The goal
is to reduce the need of data centers to be built near hydroelectric
dams, or even at
sea. More efficient computing reduces the power consumption of not
only the electronics but also the power required to cool them.
"We are
optimistic that the GCPI will spawn needed dialogue in the industry,
calling companies, including SiCortex, to live up to their claims surrounding
green HPC," said Chris Stone, president and CEO of SiCortex.
the money quote right there. Maybe it's not the end-all measurement, but
at least it raises awareness and helps their customers make informed decisions.
has a vested interest of course. They sell low-power high-performance
computing systems. The approach they took is exactly what is needed –
building power into everything from the ground-up, not as an
afterthought. The way they designed their processor architecture, the
communication fabric, even their own flavor of Linux – all took power
efficiency into account.
is also the approach we have taken here at Cadence. I know our "green
campaign" has been the first advertising campaign around this, but our product
teams built power optimization and awareness into our tools from the
ground-up. This makes it easier to for instance, minimize power in the
context of aggressive performance goals, or to verify power functionality the
same way and at the same throughput as any other function your chip
performs. Power can no longer be an afterthought or a bolt-on. And
at the same time, it can't be a barrier to achieving your other goals.
needs to have this dialogue – to understand the power efficiency of their
approach, and to make all of their architecture, design, and implementation
decisions in this context.

Before it started acting like this, my Windows Vista partition (i dual boot Kubuntu linux and Vista) was really slow. On the 2, maybe 3 last startups of Vista before the freezing started it took forever to start and login. And, the last time i succesfully booted the computer, Windows update started and asked me to do a restart, did so and since i have not been able to get past the manufactor screen )-: i have not done a virus search in a long while, so maybe it is a virus? The linux partition functioned perfectly to the very last. The last time i logged into windows, the bios screen was, for a brief time , messed up graphicaly, and the screen went purple for a second when loading vista. Maybe a problem with my graphics card? I have done some ecstensive overclocking of my cpu, and some smaller on the gpu. Specs: Asus P5N-E SLI motherboard, intel 2 core duo 1.8 ghz procesor OC to 3.1 ghz with bios. nvidia gts 450 zotac graphics card wich i overclocked with nvidia software the last time i booted succesfully. 3 gb of ram. Can anyone help?

Texas Death Penalty Declines following Nationwide Trend
Death sentences in the State of Texas are declining following a nationwide trend. This decline brings the Texas death sentences to an all time low, reported an anti-death penalty group.
Only nine death sentences were issued by Texas Juries in 2009. The same number as in 2008. Imposition of the death penalty in Texas has declined over the past 7 years. The effect of a state law giving the juries the option of "life without the possibility of parole" is thought to be one of the reasons for the decline.
Texas averaged 34 death sentences in 1990. The noticeable decline, evident over the past several years, is noteworthy due to the the states " Stiff support of the death penalty" and past proficiency of handing out the death penalty.
The death penalty has always played a major part of the "Texas Criminal Justice System" . It has always been a hallmark, but Texas is changing along with much of the naiton. Costs of appeals, executions, and concerns about flaws in the imposition of the death sentence is contributing to the decline.
Texas conducted more executions this year than last year, this was in part to a moratorium that lasted 4 months , creating a backlog. The Supreme Court considered the constitutionally of the practice of lethal injection. But even then the level of executions were low compared to the historic levels. Both attorneys and prosecutors have agreed that the "life without parole option" has drastically altered the "Capital Punishment System" in Texas. It is still unsure on where and why the impact is being seen. Many Texas prosecutors are seeking the death penalty less frequently due to the costs of pursuing the death penalty.
Harris County has long led the state in death sentences and now is also seeing a huge reduction in prosecutors seeking the death penalty.
Life without parole is a good alternative especially in a small rural community.
Many believe that the decline is in the concern of executing an innocent person, following the execution of Cameron Todd Willingham in 2005. Several DNA exonerations have also added to the opinion that "unless I am 100% sure I will not vote for death."
Rob Owens, the co-director of the "Capital Punishment Project" at the University says that even a small shred of doubt can be significant. It is more difficult now because anyone who has seen the news will second guess the process.
District attorney, Craig Watkins has tried to take steps to re-establish the credibility of the sysyem by establishing a "Death penalty Review board." But he still admits that getting a jury to vote for the death penalty be hard.
Govenor Rick Perry declined to comment, thought we all know where he stands. His spokesman, has said" He believes that the death penalty is apporpiate for henious crimes.

Nasa Shuttle Launch
February 24, 2011 by USA Post
Nasa Shuttle Launch, It is very excitement moments when after 4 months long delay ended now NASA is ready to launch Shuttle after delay, it is believe that This mission is going to open New Discoveries for Upcoming Generations, Discovery Space Shuttle at NASA's oldest and went about to launch Thursday on his last mission to the International Space Station, wrapping a legacy of nearly three decades of orbital travel.
When the spaceship takes off stage at 16:50 (2150 GMT), it will mark the beginning of the end of the program of the U.S. space shuttle Discovery with the first of the three other shuttles head to retire this year. NASA originally meant to retire the shuttle program for 30 years in September last year, but due to technical delays, the date was postponed. The plan to continue the program this long because failure on the part of the United States to plan adequately for its aging fleet. In an interview with CNN, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said: "What is not acceptable is the fact that the most powerful nation in the world, the United States of America, is in a situation that we are not good planning to have a vehicle in place to replace the shuttle when it arrives from his last landing. "
After four months of delay, NASA finally allowed discovery to blastoff Wednesday morning after announcing he has found a solution to a problem that was causing c3acks in fuel tanks.
Commissioned by Steve Lindsey, STS-133 will be five other ferry astronauts to the International Space Station expedition 10 days. The mission is tasked to deliver supplies and make a robot Robonaut's powerful 2-to become the first humanoid in space.
Discovery is widely regarded as the mainstay of the fleet of shuttle flight to the space of 39 times and traveled more than 150 million miles in his life.
Thursday's launch of space shuttle will be the first of the final shuttle missions. Shuttle Endeavor is scheduled for launch in April, with Mark Kelly, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords husband, mission commander. Atlantis is scheduled for launch in June

Radioactive 5'-amino-5'-deoxythymidine (5'-AdThd), an inhibitor of herpes simplex virus, was synthesized by direct amination of monotosylated thymidine with concentrated ammonium hydroxide. Incubation of 5'-AdThd with purified herpes simplex virus type 1-encoded pyrimidine deoxyribonucleoside kinase produced the diphosphate derivative. The monphosphate derivative of 5'-AdThd was not detected as a reaction product of this enzymatic phosphorylation. A purified mixture of nonviral thymidine kinase and thymidylate kinase derived from uninfected Vero cells was unable to phosphorylate 5'-AdThd under identical conditions. The rate of hydrolysis of 5'-AdThd diphosphate increased as the pH of the reaction mixture decreased, with a shoulder region appearing between pH 3 and 5. The rate of hydrolysis was markedly increased below pH 3. 5'-AdThd, but not the monophosphate derivative, was detected in the hydrolysis mixture. The hydrolysis of 5'-AdThd diphosphate pH 3 also yielded some thymine in addition to 5'-AdThd.

Sam Weber's Valentina Nevada Out May 27
Posted: 2016-05-03 00:00:00
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
STREAM Focus Track Anybodys'
Sam Weber's sophomore album, Valentina Nevada firmly established the 23-year-old B.C. native as one of Canada's most powerful young songwriters. Using the vintage Laurel Canyon sounds of Jackson Browne, The Eagles, Neil Young, and Joni Mitchell as their foundation, Weber and his band guide the listener on the journey they have been on for the past two years. They are joined by the muse, Valentina, a symbol of finding meaning in the superficial, and hope amid cynicism.
After releasing his full-length debut album Shadows In The Road in 2014 - which Grayowl Point described as "Packed with emotion... there's scarcely a note out of place" - Weber and his loyal compadres Marshall Wildman, Hugh Mackie, and Esme John, chose to make Valentina Nevada without any outside opinion or influence.
The band got their inspiration from their time together on the road over the past two yeras, playing a combined 155 shows. These include performances at Canadian Music Week, BreakOut West, Tall Tree Music Fesival, Rifflandia Festival, and SunFest in Duncan BC. The band's mandate is to play anywhere and everywhere, which has brought Weber a devoted following that spans generations, made up of folks from both large cities and small towns off the usual touring grid.
Ultimately, the timeless, slow-burning beauty of Valentina Nevada is what sets Sam Weber apart from so many of his peers. As he describes the album himself, "All the songs are about the struggle, but Valentina is the only one that gets past it. When choosing a name for this record, I wanted to put Valentina forard, becase she's ahead of me in a lot of ways."

PS. You will notice the eyes on my girls are a lot bigger than my previous work (pre-2004). I was a bit upset about this but things can't stay the same, we move on and change and so do our styles. I want to keep moving forward and I'm happy with how things are going. I love big eyes. I am a happier person now and I want my artworks to reflect this.

Once a truly bad newspaper, the Columbus Dispatch has improved dramatically under new leadership.
By John Wicklein John Wicklein was director of the Kiplinger midcareer program for journalists at Ohio State from 1984 to '89. A former reporter for the New York Times, he is an independent writing coach for newspapers, including the Washington Post and Memphis' Commercial Appeal.
W HEN I ASKED John F. about accusations that J.W. and he had influenced news coverage that conflicted with Wolfe family interests, he said: "Certainly that can be the perception. I don't think it was the reality. The perception is in the eye of the beholder." And to some extent, that was true. Every paper has issues, institutions and people perceived as sacred cows by some staff members. From talking with former and current reporters and editors at the Dispatch, here are a few of the wisdoms they have embraced--recently or in the past--concerning perceived or real taboos: Tread carefully on Nationwide Insurance Co., partners with the Dispatch in building the new Nationwide Arena, this fall to become home of the Columbus Bluejackets in the National Hockey League. The paper has a 10 percent ownership in the arena and the Bluejackets. Do not knock Ohio State University, and when you write about its Buckeyes, write enthusiastically and with a certain reverence. When you mention Woody Hayes, the legendary Buckeyes coach, do not refer to the incident during a 1978 bowl game in which he ran onto the field and slugged a Clemson player who had just intercepted a pass. (Woody was fired for that one.) An old Dispatch hand calls reports of that last dictum "rubbish." James Breiner, a former assistant metro editor who is now publisher of the Baltimore Business Journal, says yes, a lot of taboos were imagined. "I saw reporters hold back on things they thought were sacred cows, but they didn't have to. But I suppose the effect on the newsroom was real." Breiner found out how real one taboo was. Reporters had been told not to call J.W. for comment on stories that involved him or the family. But when Breiner was on the metro desk, he thought, "What the hell?" and called J.W. about a proposal to tear down a historic building for a Wolfe partnership development, despite protests from preservationists. "He was amazingly candid," Breiner recalled in his column in the independent Columbus newspaper, Business First, on the occasion of J.W.'s death. "He did not see what the big deal was about tearing down a building. He was crude, witty and charming, all at the same time. It was, in short, a great interview." Unfortunately, the story was never published. The city desk bucked it up to management, which buried it. Lest I paint J.W. as an unmitigated ogre, I'll throw in some caveats: Friends said he was a homebody, rough around the edges perhaps, but exceedingly loyal and often generous. He contributed lots of time and money to local charities--Children's Hospital, University Hospitals Cancer Clinic, the Columbus Zoo and the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, among others. When you live in Columbus for some years, as I did in the '80s, you can't escape gossip about the Wolfes. They aren't the richest people in town; Leslie Wexner, chairman and CEO of The Limited Inc., takes that prize. However, people would tell you, the force was with them. The Wolfes came to their preeminent position the hard way--they earned it (or just took it, depending on whom you talk to). Everyone knew the legend: from shoes to riches. In 1890, two brothers, Robert and Harry, set up the Wolfe Brothers Shoe Co. It became in time one of the largest and most successful businesses in the city. Robert, it was said, had always been fascinated with newspapers. And so in 1903, having piled up lots of money in shoes, the brothers bought the Ohio Journal, the oldest paper in town. Two years later, they acquired the Evening Dispatch, founded in 1871. The brothers became heavily involved in Republican politics, making The Wigwam, the family's country estate southeast of Columbus, an unofficial headquarters for GOP luminaries including Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover. The partnership ended suddenly in 1927, when Robert died in a fall from a fifth-floor window of the Dispatch building. But Harry pressed on with acquisitions, establishing a large bank holding company, picking up a lot of downtown real estate and buying a radio station that later became the present WBNS-AM and -FM. In 1949 the family put WBNS-TV on the air. It soon emerged as the dominant station in its market. (The call letters are said to stand for Wolfe Banks, News and Shoes, the core of the family's original holdings.) The Wolfes increased their domination of local media by adding the monthly Ohio Magazine (since sold) and a cable channel, the Ohio News Network. They were tough on the Citizen-Journal, their last newspaper competitor, effectively shutting it when they refused to renew a joint operating agreement that expired in 1985. The family could also be tough on public figures who crossed them. Early in the '90s, Judge Ronald L. Solove angered the Wolfes by barring reporters from his juvenile court. The paper appealed the decision, but lost. To gloat, Solove put up a computer-generated banner in his office that read, "Who's afraid of the big bad Wolfe?"--in this case, meaning John F. That was enough. With editorials and a cascade of nit-picking stories, the paper helped bring about Solove's defeat in the next election. But even its detractors concede that the Wolfe family, through its business developments and philanthropic projects, has added momentum to Columbus, a prosperous middle-American city with a huge inferiority complex. Natives hate to hear it called a cow town and yearn to have it recognized as the world-class city they think it has become. When people outside the state think of Ohio cities, they think of Cleveland and Cincinnati. Slighted residents point out that, at 670,000 residents, Columbus is the country's 15th largest city, and that Cleveland is 28th and Cincinnati a piddling 50th. As a consequence, inhabitants were happy to see the Wolfes use their newspaper and their economic clout to engineer big civic projects, all the while telling them on the front page, week in and week out, that they had a world-class this and a world-class that. As a matter of community spirit and a fine financial sense, the Wolfes and the Dispatch have traditionally taken a Babbitt-like approach to anything that will promote the city. And over the years, Ohio State football has been a vehicle for pride that the paper would invest in, via its sports, news and editorial pages.
B UT HOLD ON! Didn't readers of the Dispatch see in December 1998 a 16-page special section titled "The Big Bucks of OSU Sports"? And didn't that section, along with straightforward reporting on the prowess of the $200 million money machine, include disparaging remarks about the commercialism of it all from ardent fans aced out of stadium seats by big contributors? Isn't that heresy? "I think it was a legitimate rap on the Dispatch that we were a little too Chamber-of-Commercey--too boosterish of OSU football and the other [secular] religions of Columbus," says Curtin, public affairs reporter turned company president. "I feel very comfortable today that we are covering things aggressively and letting the chips fall where they may." Which brings us back to the seismic shifts that followed the departure of J.W. "Someone said to me recently, You don't suppose John F. wants to put out a good newspaper, do you?' " says the Other Paper's Russell. The answer, from a dozen neutral and partisan observers, seems to be yes. In the last six years, John F. has come forcefully into his own as publisher, although you would not suspect that from talking with him. He is a short, shy, almost diffident man of 56 who nevertheless knew how to handle the responsibility when he succeeded as family patriarch. He signaled a new era by doing something that surprised the community: He put a nonfamily member, a Columbus native and 27-year veteran of the paper, into the top administrative post of the parent company. The rapidity of the steps leading up to this move amazed the staff, and one of them circulated this purported daily to-do list of their publisher: Monday: 1. Get out of bed. 2. Shave. 3. Promote Mike C. Tuesday: 1. Get out of bed. 2. Shave. 3. Promote Mike C. Wednesday: 1. Get out of bed. 2. Shave. 3. Promote Mike C. Etc., etc., etc. And promoted Mike Curtin was--from chief political writer to executive managing editor in October 1994 to editor in December '95, to editor and associate publisher in '98. Then, in January 1999, John F. added company president to Curtin's title, the first person outside the family to hold the post. Actually, these were promotions delayed. An editor who was in a position to know says that although Curtin had previously been offered several jobs in management, he didn't want to move up while J.W. was in charge. "Mike saw what happened to Feck--he was a happy camper where he was and he felt, Who needed that kind of grief from the front office?' " But with John F. in the top slot, it was different. "I could work with John F.," Curtin says. "He has Journalism 101 in his bones. He wants the most credible newspaper in the city that we can get." To do that, Curtin says, the paper must focus on enterprise reporting of public affairs--his forte. But will a dead-serious approach like that keep younger readers coming on, and prevent the circulation, now about 250,000 daily, from sliding? "You don't get young readers by dumbing it down, fluffing it up," Curtin says. Even if the readership drops off, he says, he will not change that notion. "If people don't want serious information that will help them function in the community, then they get what they deserve. There is no more important institution in the city than a newspaper." The publisher seems committed to the same ideas. "The heart and soul of a newspaper is local news. People buy it to be informed," John F. Wolfe says. "The main focus is in our news product, and I think, with Mike, we do a very good job at that." To back that up, he points to several recent statewide awards: First Place, General Excellence-AP Society of Ohio, 1999; Best Daily Newspaper-Ohio Society of Professional Journalists, 1997; Best Daily Newspaper-Cleveland Press Club, 1998. In February 1999, seeking to bolster that trend, Curtin persuaded the chief of the Plain Dealer's Statehouse bureau, Ben Marrison, to be his right hand as managing editor/news. Marrison, who this month turns 37, had a promise of good things to come. They came sooner than expected. After 10 months serving as both editor and president, Curtin found he couldn't run the paper and all the other company holdings. In November, he named Marrison editor. Curtin choked up as he told the newsroom it had been a difficult decision for him to leave the news side he loved. Later he told me he was going to keep his hand in--writing editorials and occasional political thumbsuckers. And he would be working with Marrison to accomplish two goals growing out of the idea that news is king: Encourage more aggressive, more analytic, less reactive reporting and improve the writing. The way to do this, they think, is to loosen the reins and give reporters their heads. "The fear has been lifted," says Marrison. "Now the staffers believe they can do anything that can be done."
J OE HALLETT HAD HEARD about "the fear." Hallett, who came to the Dispatch from the Plain Dealer at the same time as Marrison, says he was initially wary about what he wrote in his political column, even though he had been assured he would not need to censor himself. The promise panned out: "I feel I can write what I want, without constraints." With freedom comes an expectation that staffers have a responsibility to do well: Marrison, with Curtin's support, has begun imposing standards that say, "Perform or be gone." The lean staff worries about having to produce quality journalism while still filling the paper's large newshole. But the demand for higher standards hasn't caused an uproar; some feel the push for better writing and reporting was overdue. "People have talked about the Dispatch as a velvet coffin," a business reporter told me. "You were going to have a job for life, no matter what you did. Marrison is going to change that." In fact, about a half year into his editorship, Marrison is viewed by staffers as much more of a tough guy than Curtin, whose management style is that of the diplomat. Longtime critics acknowledge there is a different atmosphere at the paper. "The fear is gone--but is that so great an accomplishment?" asks Max Brown, publisher of the Columbus Monthly, part of CM Media. "Really all you are saying is: They've started to act like a real newspaper.' " But he adds he has been surprised at the open discussion he now sees in the news columns. "There is a specific change in what had been a very controlled editorial environment." Critics of the paper nevertheless have good things to say about Curtin. A profile in the Other Paper says he is "considered fair and a nice guy." The word I heard most often in interviews was "integrity." But the change doesn't mean that the road ahead has no potholes. The paper still has big problems to overcome. Race concerns are major. Over the years, blacks in the community--about 23 percent of the city's population--have been suspicious of the Dispatch, accusing it of ignoring their interests. Many feel that blacks have traditionally made it into the paper only when they have committed crimes or when one is singled out as "the first black to...." They point to a gaffe in 1995--when the paper ran a front-page picture of Buckeye Eddie George winning the Heisman Trophy but played it smaller than a picture of a black child molester behind bars. Some blacks picketed the paper over that one. Clifford Tyree, former community relations director for the city and an African American, says he's noticed an improvement in the last few years: "More good stories about African Americans, more good pictures of young people of color." "The Color Chasm," an eight-part series published in April 1999 measuring black progress in Columbus, signaled that a corner had been turned at the paper. Blacks see more diversity in coverage but still feel there is a lack of diversity in the staff. There are no minorities among top editors and only one woman: Mary Lynn Plageman, who succeeded Marrison as managing editor/news. Seven of 70 reporters and two of 36 copy editors are black. The paper has two Hispanic reporters. "I'm not so defensive as some are about this," Curtin says. "In time, I am confident the newspaper will be more diverse from top to bottom. If [the balance] were the same 10 years from now, I'd feel differently." Meanwhile, Curtin has sent editors to conventions of minority journalists to seek out staff prospects. But, he says, minority candidates the paper has actively pursued often have been lured away by bigger papers. Lornet Turnbull, an enterprise reporter who is African American, says that, although the paper once had a reputation of not being friendly toward minorities, Curtin and Marrison have changed that. "I think these guys are sincere in trying to bring diversity to the newsroom. Mike has made a tremendous effort to recruit minority reporters. It's just going to take some time." The Dispatch faces the ongoing problem of weaning the public away from the idea that it is a Republican Party organ. It gave that idea a good knock in the head last fall, when it endorsed a Democrat, Michael B. Coleman, for mayor, something that hadn't happened in half a century. Coleman won. One factor making the effort easier is the absence of a rabid partisan at the helm. "People who wanted to run for office had to go to J.W.'s office and ask for his blessing," says Brown. "John F. isn't interested in controlling who is county auditor." That factor had to be balanced recently against another: J.W. had regularly contributed to Republican candidates; traditionally, John F. has not done that. But last year his wife, Amy, became the Central Ohio fundraiser for the John Kasich for President campaign. "The publisher asked me about that," says Curtin. "I said that this raises the bar for us--it puts a higher obligation on the paper to break bad news about Kasich, and report the good, the bad and the ugly." Curtin thinks the staff did that. David Leland, State Democratic Party chairman, says he thought there was still some Republican bias in the editorials. But, he says, "I don't think there is any bias as far as the coverage is concerned." In the mid-'80s when I asked a former Democratic chairman whether he found any anti-Democratic bias there, he just laughed. As at other newspapers, there is the nagging problem of conflict of interest when a top executive takes a prominent role in community affairs. In 1992, J.W. served as chairman of the board of AmeriFlora, a world's fair of flowers. It proved a financial disaster for the city, which had backed it with cash. This despite the fact that the paper ran obligatory daily promotional features, starting with a six-column, front-page head that said, "The Celebration Begins." John F. is involved in less controversial civic institutions--he's trustee of the Columbus science museum development corporation, for example. But the question remains: Do reporters look over their shoulders when one of the publisher's interests is involved? There's a lot less of that than there once was, says one reporter who has written stories about Wolfe interests. "I've had no editor caution me about how to cover this stuff," he says. But he senses a feeling among staffers that they probably ought to tiptoe around a story if it deals with, say, a piece of real estate owned by the family. And for both publisher and editor there's the question of the company's part-ownership of the NHL Bluejackets. It's an issue similar to the one that has bothered staffers at the Chicago Tribune ever since its parent company bought the Chicago Cubs nearly 20 years ago, and which arose again last year when the Dallas Morning News' parent bought a small interest in the Dallas Mavericks. Curtin says John F. had asked him if there would be a problem if the company took a 10 percent interest in the team. "I told him, if the Bluejackets go 0 and 26 for the year, and you have a problem with our saying the Bluejackets suck,' then we have a problem. He said, No problem.' " The issue remains, however. Finally, there is the problem of holdover taboos enforced, staffers say, by midlevel editors. A business reporter says one of her editors had said she was not to report the large salary and bonuses of a CEO whose company had been losing money. Queried, Curtin says no generic prohibition like that exists. "We've shattered some old myths, but it would seem we still have some work to do on it." In the long run, what kind of a paper will Curtin pass on to the fourth generation of Wolfes? Will it in fact be "Ohio's Greatest Home Newspaper," as the huge sign atop its downtown headquarters has proclaimed for decades? Will there even be a fourth generation at the paper to pass it to? John F. hopes there will be; he would like to keep it in the family. Two of his daughters now work for the company: Katie I. Wolfe, who in September became assistant to the president, and Rita Jean Wolfe, director of community affairs for WBNS-TV. Curtin says he intends to work with them to define what niches they may fill. But, he adds, "They themselves will have to decide what roles they want to play."

Nadal-Djokovic To Team Up
Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal announced that they will team up to play doubles during the 2016 ATP season.
The decision was made as both players want to "dominate doubles in the same way we have dominated singles"
Nadal on the decision "I looked at all my options to prolong my tennis career and doubles looked like the best choice, Novak is the best player in the world and he was my first choice, as soon as I approached him he agreed, I'm very happy"
Djokovic added "When you look at history, players in past generations dominated singles but also had great records in doubles, now it's not so important but I think if we do well together then maybe we can bring doubles back to a popular status"
It is understood that they will team up at all the slams and masters events. When asked what would happen if they had to compete against each other in singles, both players tried to laugh it off, however Nadal added "If we play each other in singles, then we will both fight hard, but when it comes time to play together again we will be on the same side so no problem I think"
Happy April 1st

One of the annoyingly frequent changes to the immigration rules has just been issued and can be found here. These sometimes come out as often as fortnightly, and I can remember a number of occasions when they have been so ill conceived they've had to withdraw them immediately. They once accidentally abolished the working holiday maker scheme by deleting Appendix 3 of the rules (akin to a Homer moment of "What if I press this big red button? D'oh!") and they also once forbade fiance(e)s (ugh, I hate that word) from extending their stay as spouses – the entire purpose of the fiance(e) (D'oh!) category. All this incompetence just creates work for immigration lawyers, so I shouldn't really complain.
This latest Statement of Changes comes into effect on 30 June 2008. It is mostly concerned with implementing parts of the Points Based System. The rest of Tier 1 is coming into being, which means entrepreneurs, investors and post-study work, i.e. the replacement for IGS and Fresh Talent. Interestingly, there is no requirement for existing leave at the time of an application for leave to remain in these categories, which marks a significant and very welcome change in approach. Illegal entrants are barred, but it simply says that an applicant must have or have last been granted leave in certain categories. That leaves the door open for overstayers to apply, although I believe the policy will be not to accept applications outside 28 days other than in exceptional circumstances.
Lastly, the various concessions on the no return rule are being incorporated into the immigration rules as follows in two new paragraphs:
320(7C) Paragraph 320(7B) shall not apply in the following circumstances:
(a) where the applicant is applying as:
(i) a spouse, civil partner or unmarried or same-sex partner under
paragraphs 281 or 295A,
(ii) a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner under paragraph 290,
(iii) a parent, grandparent or other dependent relative under paragraph 317,
(iv) a person exercising rights of access to a child under paragraph 246, or
(v) a spouse, civil partner, unmarried or same-sex partner of a refugee or person with Humanitarian Protection under paragraphs 352A, 352AA, 352FA or 352FD; or
(b) where the individual was under the age of 18 at the time of his most recent breach of the UK's immigration laws.
320(11) [leave should normally be refused] where the applicant has previously contrived in a significant way to frustrate the intentions of these Rules. Guidance will be published giving examples of circumstances in which an applicant who has previously overstayed, breached a condition attached to his leave, been an Illegal Entrant or used Deception in an application for entry clearance, leave to enter or remain (whether successful or not) is likely to be considered as having contrived in a significant way to frustrate the intentions of these Rules.
There are no changes to the visa officer guidance yet, but the new rules suggest that changes will be made at some point to provide more concrete examples. That would certain be helpful to some of the people who have left comments on this blog!

overshare: the links.net story Trailer (2015)
"a movie about a web site about a guy" 30 July 2015 40 mins
Hello, my name is Justin Hall and I've been sharing my personal life in explicit detail online for over twenty years. Starting in 1994, my personal web site Justin's Links from the Underground has documented family secrets, romantic relationships, and my experiments with sex and drugs. overshare: the links.net story is a documentary about fumbling to foster intimacy between strangers online. Through interviews, analysis and graphic animations, I share my motivations, my joys and my sorrows from pioneering personal sharing for the 21st century. In 2004 the New York Times referred to me as "perhaps the founding father of personal weblogging." I hope this documentary reveals that I was a privileged white male with access to technology who worked to invite as many people as possible to join him in co-creating an internet where we have a chance to honestly share of our humanity.

Co-highweights will be Marciano and Regal Shivers at 120 pounds, four more than the remaining six entrants.Win More Stable's Marciano has delivered two knockout races at Laurel, winning the Ambernash and the Herat. The son of Two Punch is conditioned by Tim Ritchey. "He hasn't grown into himself yet," Ritchey said. "He's still pretty leggy. The more we get into his 3-year-old season, the better he will be.""We liked Regal Shivers from the first time out," said Nick Galati, assistant to trainer Nick Zito. "He ran into a lot of trouble last year with bad trips."D. Wayne Lukas sends out the highly regarded Scorpion, coming off an impressive allowance score at Gulfstream. The son of 1977 Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew tries to give Lukas his first Gotham victory. Scorpion has yet to earn a stakes win, but finished in the money against competition such as City Zip and Yonaguska in 2000.Richly Blended comes into the Gotham in sharp form, having bested allowance competition at Laurel two weeks ago.

Peep The Trailer:
With an awesome response in the market and being number one for two straight weeks its no question that this movie was a commercial success.The production budget was 28 million dollars and its gross sales are already approaching 200 million dollars. Straight Outta Compton is not only a success for the NWA brand but also hip hop fans.Why? because the music biopic had the highest ever start in its category, eclipsing previous entries like Ray ($20 million in 2004), Notorious ($20 million in 2009) and Walk the Line ($22 million in 2005). Here are 5 things that you'll learn when watching this movie
1.DRE Outta Compton
The movie could of been easily called Dre Outta Of Compton. The main character the movie follows is Dr Dre his the heart of the story. He carries the vision while Eazy-E carried the faith with his investment and Cube wrote the stories. Its makes it clear why Dre has been in the forefront for everything thats changed the culture in hip hop. Think about it NWA, Dr Dre Chronic, Snoop Dogg, Eminem,50 Cents and Kendrick Lamar. At their prime these artists have probably sold more than any other hip hop artist and Dre had a hand in it.
2. The Rise And Fall Of Suge Knight:
Without giving away too much Suge Knight is currently in jail for a murder case, a video came out where he crashed a person/friend with his truck.He needs $10 million for bail. There are enough scenes that show why he was the most feared person then and probably how his life is where it is now.
3. Snoop Dogg
Snoop Dogg comes across like a care-free happy go luck guy with a bit of a hard head. I can believe it when they say he freestyles on most of his albums cause his eagerness to get on the mic and rap is that of a little child who cant get enough of their new toy.
4.Police Brutality
American police brutality is nothing new from the Rodney King incident to the various things the group experienced as superstars. If Clive Naidoo had his phone camera in Compton he would of had the publics sympathy.:)
5 Ice Cube Priorities
Although Ice Cube was the bad ass lyricist he seem to be the most grounded and most family orientated out of all the members. He's the first to call out Jerry and Eazy and bold enough to walk away from NWA at their peak, he gets married at a young age and manages by his wife,further testimony is that his son plays his part in the movie. Yes they say they auditioned a lot of people to find the right cast and O'shea Jackson Jr plays his dad well but Im sure Ice Cube knew they'd be some backlash especially considering all the members have kids too. It shows Cube's priorities as a person, the one time he loses his temper is caused by family commitments his made cause he was expecting some money from the label. Its no co-incedence his wife managed his personal affairs and his son plays the part of something so personal to him.
I'll let you watch the movie to see it for yourself.
All in all Im grateful I was in a generation that had NWA make sure you watch Straight Outta Compton its will be released tomorrow at all Ster Kinekors.

Hacking is such a dirty word. Most businesspeople go into panic mode upon mere mention of the term. Hacking in general terms refer to forcing oneself into a computer system without permission but with malicious intent. This popular definition of hacking refers to what the industry calls "black hat" hacking. It's criminal. But there's another form of hacking, called "white hat" hacking, or ethical hacking that may actually benefit businesses.
White hat hackers do the same thing as black hat hackers to get into a system. However, they do not do so to steal information or wreak havoc. Rather, the purpose of white hat hackers is to test a system for security vulnerabilities. Also, white hat hackers penetrate computer systems with the permission of the owners and do get paid for it. Let's look at how your company can benefit from hiring a certified ethical hacker Australia:
Prevent a Future Hacking Attack
The main reason companies hire ethical hackers is to prevent a future attack. Ethical hackers scan through a system trying to find vulnerabilities or access points malicious hackers might exploit. If a white hat hacker gets through, then a major vulnerability of the system will be exposed. The companies software engineers can patch up the hole and make the system safer overall. If your company has a large network system or databases, then hiring an ethical hacker will be necessary to prevent future attacks and reduce the overall likelihood of a malicious hack.
Test and Hack-Proof the System
Hiring an ethical hacker is a good way to test any security system. If your company is installing new updates or developing new infrastructure, an ethical hacker can assist the IT team figure out the weak points in the system. Companies like Apple and IBM hire ethical hackers on a routine basis to constantly test internal systems. You can build stronger and safer networks if an ethical hacker can routinely test it.
Adopt Cyber Security Best Practises
Ethical hackers not only test systems and expose vulnerabilities,they also advise companies on how to better secure their systems. Ethical hackers are highly knowledgeable regarding the sort of practises that leave systems susceptible to attacks. For example, if the employees don't have a strong password system, that indicates a risk for a cyber-attack. Ethical hackers can expose such problems within a company's system and assist in developing a best practises guide.
Ethical hackers offer crucial security benefits to companies. The biggest downside is, of course, hiring an ethical hacker can be very expensive. However, it's an expense that should not be spared if your company offers digital services. Even small digital companies should take all the precautions necessary to prevent a cyber-attack. Anything that leaves your customers' personal information exposed will be the end of your business.
There are several other concerns that should be addressed when hiring an ethical hacker. It's important to hire a professional or an IT firm that is certified to be an ethical hacker in Australia. Keep in mind that a hacker will have access to the most sensitive data of your business operation. So, you should be able to absolutely trust the hacker you allow into the system. Only certified hackers can be trusted in this manner.
If your business requires it and has the money, hire an ethical hacker to secure your system without delay.

Vince Lombardi once said, "The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will."
It is a quote that O.J. Brigance recently tweeted. It is also one that he fully embraces. The former Rice Owls linebacker and Super Bowl XXXV champ with the Baltimore Ravens has always abided by the qualities of "strength," "knowledge," and "will" and especially so since 2007 when he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Brigance viewed this uninvited chapter of his life as a challenge to be met head on. His strength and will combined with his knowledge of ALS have allowed him to serve as an ambassador for the disease through, among other things, the Brigance Brigade Foundation, which was founded by Brigance and his wife, Chanda, in 2008.
"When I was first diagnosed with ALS, once I got past the initial shock, I was determined to beat this dreadful disease," said Brigance in an email. "The most important thing I told myself was that God hadn't brought me this far in life to leave me to death. I believe that life's challenges serve as preparation for greater challenges down the road of life. Every tribulation I had faced in life strengthened my resolve and perseverance to overcome ALS. Along with a strong mental resolve, I have tried to remain engaged in the same activities I enjoyed before my diagnosis. My physical abilities may have declined, but I am still engaged mentally to impact the world around me."
Though the disease has left Brigance unable to speak and void of voluntary muscle movement he communicates using a device that allows individuals with mobility impairments to navigate laptops and tablets through built in eye-tracking technology. His words, sentences and paragraphs come to life through his eye movements.
Through such innovation Brigance, who will turn 47 in September, is regularly in contact with Ravens players in his role as senior adviser to player engagement director Harry Swayne. In this position, which he has held since 2010, Brigance does not hesitate to deliver a message to a struggling player who could use a boost and/or a nugget of advice.
"I try to help the men realize a higher perspective of the situation they are facing," he said. "The intestinal fortitude that drove them to be professional athletes, overcoming various socioeconomic barriers, is the same fight that will push them over the current obstacle they may be facing. We are all mentally stronger than we often give ourselves credit for. Realizing how blessed to be living another day can be the best impetus to embrace any challenge life sends our way."
Much of Brigance's mental strength was molded through the game of football. Whether it was as a youth, during his years as a standout linebacker at Rice or his dozen seasons as a professional in the NFL and CFL, the game beyond the X's and O's instilled many lessons. Such lessons also help guide him today.
"Football has taught me that if you fully commit yourself to a task, hard work and dedication will be rewarded," said Brigance, who also won a CFL title with the Baltimore Stallions giving him the distinction of being the only player to win championships with the two leagues in the same city. "I wasn't the ideal candidate to be a professional athlete. However, refusing to let other people's opinions of my abilities determine my fate was a great life lesson football taught me. We can't allow other people's limitations on our capabilities become a stumbling block to our God-given destiny."
To a large extent that is the message he disseminates to those who have been diagnosed with ALS. Instead of those stumbling blocks serving as insurmountable barriers, Brigance inspires countless individuals to adopt a mindset that they can plow through.
"My message to people who have been recently diagnosed is that although there will be many adjustments in their life, there is still so much to continue to fight for," he said. "Recent technological advances have increased our ability to live full, impactful lives. Although researchers have yet to find a cure for ALS, life still can go on. It will be challenging and different, but very much worth fighting for."
Those who desire to help continue the fight can visit brigancebrigade.org for information on upcoming events, how to donate funds and/or volunteer in any one of many capacities.

Anglican Head: Real Treasure is People, Not Material Wealth
LONDON – Job losses and house repossessions brought on by the financial crisis are an opportunity for people to think about where their treasure truly lies, the head of the worldwide Anglican Communion said in his New Year's message.
"It's always a relief to have a bit of space after the busyness of Christmas to relax at home and mull over the past 12 months and the hopes and possibilities of the year ahead," said the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Rowan Williams.
However, he acknowledged, the prospect of this coming year is one that produces a lot of anxiety and insecurity for countless people.
"There are fears about disappearing savings, lost jobs, house repossessions and worse. While the headlines are often about the big figures, it's the human cost that makes it real for us," He said.
Instead of only placing value on material wealth, Williams challenged people to see their fellow human beings as their true treasure.
"Jesus said where our treasure is, that's where our hearts will be. Our hearts will be in a very bad way if they're focused only on the state of our finances. They'll be healthy if they are capable of turning outwards, looking at the real treasure that is our fellow human beings," he said.
Williams suggested that the wellbeing of the vulnerable and the better off were closely bound.
"What would our life be like if we really believed that our wealth, our treasure, was our fellow-human beings?" he posed.
"Religious faith points to a God who takes most seriously and values most extravagantly the people who often look least productive or successful – as if none of us could really be said to be doing well unless these people were secure," he said.
The archbishop stressed the need to care for children in particular.
"As we look around in our own country as well as worldwide, this should trigger some hard questions – whether we think of child soldiers in Africa or street children in Latin America, or of children in our midst here who are damaged by poverty, family instability and abuse, street violence and so much else," Williams said.
"Children need to be taken seriously, not just as tomorrow's adults but as fellow-inhabitants of the globe today, growing human beings whom we approach with respect and patience and from whom we ought to learn," he exhorted.
According to Save the Children, more than 128 million children today do not attend school and poverty takes at least one child's life every three seconds, resulting in 30,000 deaths each day. Furthermore, according to the United Nations, more than 2 million children have been killed due to war in the past decade; three times as many have been seriously injured or disabled.
There are estimated over 143 million orphans in the world today.

Health Alliance places 10th in study
URBANA – Health Alliance Medical Plans has been ranked one of the nation's top 10 health plans in a study just released by U.S News & World Report.
An Urbana managed care company owned by Carle Clinic, Health Alliance was ranked 10th best in the nation for its Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) and Point of Service plans on a list of 257 commercial health plans nationwide.
Point of Service plans are modified HMOs, in which members pay more for care obtained outside their local provider network.
Jeff Ingrum, Health Alliance's chief executive, said about 150,000 of his company's 250,000 members are in HMOs, and the rest are in Point of Service or Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans, with PPOs excluded from the ratings.
Champaign-based PersonalCare – which is part of Coventry Health Care of Bethesda, Md. – was ranked 52nd in the nation for its HMO.
Fewer than 10 percentage points separated the ranking of the top 100 plans, with total scores for the top 100 falling between 87 for 100th-ranked United Healthcare of New England and 94.2 for top-ranked Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.
Health Alliance scored a total 91.5 in the rankings, and PersonalCare scored 88.8.
Ingrum said there are about 600 commercial health plans nationwide, but the others weren't ranked because they don't submit themselves to the scrutiny of the National Committee for Quality Assurance, the major accrediting body for managed care plans. U.S. News & World Report collaborated with the National Committee for Quality Assurance to compile the rankings.
Information was collected on such quality-of-care measurements as how diligently the plans provide preventative tests and immunizations and how appropriately they monitor and medicate a variety of diseases, the magazine said.
Plans were given between one and five stars in each of the categories – access to care, overall member satisfaction, prevention and treatment – with five stars being the best.
Health Alliance received five stars in member satisfaction and four stars each for access to care, prevention and treatment measures.
PersonalCare, whose officials couldn't be reached for comment, received three stars in member satisfaction and four stars in each of the other three categories.
Ingrum said Health Alliance received the top score – 87.8 percent out of 100 – among all 257 plans on the list for how satisfied members are with the care they get from their doctors and nurses. The average score was 77.6.
Being a local community plan, the company has put a lot of emphasis on having enough staff handling customer service, Ingrum said. For example, Health Alliance installed a new Voice over Internet Protocol telephone system a few years ago to make sure customer service employees can provide the answers members need while they're still on the line.
On individual quality measures, both Health Alliance and PersonalCare were ranked above average in providing access to care for children and adolescents, member satisfaction, providing regular mammograms for women, overall diabetes care, managing high blood pressure, providing cholesterol checks and providing appropriate medication for asthma.
Health Alliance was above average in providing appropriate medication for depression and PersonalCare was just a hair below average in that measurement.
How much stock should managed care members place in these rankings?
Accreditation by the National Committee for Quality Assurance is one measure of health plan quality – but it's not the only one – said Cathy Eddy, president of Irving, Texas-based Health Plan Alliance, an organization that represents provider-sponsored health plans.
Health plans that lack NCQA accreditation aren't necessarily bad ones, she said, but "it's one thing I think is important."
Not only does it reflect a certain level of quality and accomplishment, Eddy said, the process of achieving it requires a discipline and commitment to improvement on the part of the health plans.
"It's something they spend a lot of effort on, and take very seriously," she added.

11 Safety Tips in Using the ATM Card
1. Use familiar ATMs (Automated Teller Machines) that are located in well-lighted areas.
2. Have your ATM card ready before approaching the ATM.
3. Do not use ATMs that appear to have been tampered with or otherwise altered. Report such condition to the bank.
4. Memorize your PIN and never disclose it to anyone. Do not keep these numbers in your wallet/purse or write them on the card itself.
5. Avoid using easily available personal information like your birthday, nickname, mother's maiden name or consecutive numbers as your PIN.
6. Be mindful of "shoulder surfers" when using ATMs. Stand close to the ATM and shield the keypad with your hand when encoding your PIN and transaction amount.
7. If the ATM is not working properly, cancel the transaction, retrieve your card and use another ATM. If possible, report the problem to the bank.
8. If the ATM is not working properly, cancel the transaction, retrieve your card and use another ATM. IF possible, report the problem to the bank.
9. Carefully secure your card and cash in your wallet/purse before leaving the ATM.
10. Don't let other people use your card.
11. If your ATM card is lost or stolen, report the incident immediately to the bank.

Distributed Database Design Help
I want to computerise a department where it has several branches. Each branch deals with customers from its region, processing applications and issuing orders. Processing an application goes through several levels. Like from branch office to regional office and later to head office and then back to the branch office for issuing order. and the requirement is that each branch should work irrespective of the network condition.So I want to make each office to be autonomous (storing the data related to the branch at its branch server). And one more requirement is that i want to make a web system where customers should be able to lodge application (by selecting the branch office) and check their application status. So the DB of all branches should be available to the web system no matter where the data of different branches is stored.
Give me a brief description on possible Distributed DB design that will be sufficient for implementing the system.
Thanks in Advance

A tall order, knowing as little as we do.
You would need to analyze the operational and data storage requirements requirements at each site. In addition, you would need to analyze the data FLOW from site to site.
Once you know the operational requirements, the storage requirements, and the data flow, you could then probably make a decent stab at designing a workable solution.Lou

If you are trying to monetize your blog, the best way to make money fast is to increase traffic. When you have more page views and more viewers, you can establish your blog and then focus on higher-paying advertisers.
Here are five ways to build a following for your blog without spending any money.
Guest Posts
Although you may invest some time and effort into writing a guest post, this is an invaluable tool to increasing traffic for two reasons. First, you can add backlinks to your blog which can draw brand new visitors to your website. If they like what they see, they'll come back. Second, by writing informative articles for another blog, you can establish yourself as an expert in your field. Just find a blog that provides information about a similar topic, and contact the blog author with a specific query.
SEO is all about Balance
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is important to draw new followers to your blog. When your blog is deemed relevant by search engines, you will show up on one of the first pages of the search results. The goal is to show up on the first page, since most followers won't click through to the next page. If you pack too many keywords into your blog, readers will notice the redundancy. On the other hand, if you don't focus your blog content, you will never show up in online searches. Focus on optimizing just the article titles and first sentences with keywords. Try to balance Search Engine Optimization tactics with well-articulated web content, and your followers will appreciate reading high-quality information that's not peppered with SEO.
Enable Comments
Be sure to enable comments on your blog; this is an important way to make your web content interactive. When you add a particularly interesting or controversial article, your readers may have questions or something to add to the debate. Let them join in on the discussion with comments that will keep them coming back. This is also important for building a blog community, because readers will feel like they are part of something. As the blog administrator, don't forget to comment on new comments yourself. Also, the more difficult it is to comment, the less people will go through the effort. Make it easy to log in without subscribing to your blog, and you will see more people contributing to the conversation.
Social Media
Social media may be the easiest way to build a following for your blog. Twitter and Facebook are free and virtually effortless tools to attract more readers. Be sure to update often; a dead Twitter or Facebook account shows readers that you don't update information in your blog either. Use social media as a way to brand your blog; create a Twitter account that notifies readers when you add a new article or feature, and start a Facebook Fan Page that will highlight your readership. Let your readers do the work for you. With Twitter, people can easily retweet your tweets, which builds a bigger following. With Facebook, people can invite others to become a "fan," which also reaches out to a bigger audience than you would have been able to do alone.
You may think that sending out weekly newsletters via email is a lot of work for little reward, but the opposite is true. If you are already adding web content to your blog on a weekly basis, why not highlight the main points in your newsletter? Then provide links to your blog so that readers can read more, and you will earn more page views. Reward loyal readers who allow you into their inbox every week with free tips and other information that they won't find on the website. This will build your "blog brand" and ensure that your followers will return to your website.
If you want to make money blogging, follow these five tips to help you build a blog community, reach a wider audience, and increase traffic. All of these marketing strategies are completely free.
