Despite the infamous SuperPi application being criticized as being "very simple, and horribly single-threaded", it is a very popular benchmarking application. And it has been quite the benchmark tool to measure just how amazing a certain persons CPU is. However, all that is about to change. A strain of SuperPi is coming that will allow SuperPi calculations to be carried out by the graphics processor. This new code, which will be helped out by CUDA, should be available in about one month's time. Source: Nordic Hardware
fugger @XS says they are keeping him out of the loop on that one. There is a link in the source to XS' thread about it!
It would be interesting to see how my 2900pro compares to a 8800gt at pi. Oh Wait! ATI doesn't support CUDA! :shadedshu
Well look at FAH GPU...that was ATI ONLY for quite a while, and only shortly in the future is a version being released for NV support...I suppose if it's quicker for them to release or easier until someone finds an easier way...those that have NV can give it a shot. Hard saying if it will truly be justifiable for anything gaming related, but for benchers out there I suppose there's some interest in it. I'm sure an ATI version will be released...if ATI gpu's can fold, I'm sure they can SuperPI!
It's pretty much pointless to have a benchmark that only runs on a single manufacturer's hardware. There isn't any way to compare scores between architectures, except if you overclock your 8800gt so that it's faster than a 8800gts, etc.
superpi does have a multithreaded flavour around, its just not popular because the dual core crowd hate losing to quads If this works on ATI and Nvidia, i'm all for it!
CUDA this CUDA that . . . New motto ? I think it wont be long before ATi respond with something simular. Im sure it will be better too. Then we move on. Im all for benchmarking tools, but like flashstar said, It's pretty much pointless to have a benchmark that only runs on a single manufacturer's hardware.
If what others here suggest is true, ie only for NV cards, it's worthless. If you can only compare a few cards from the same series and the generations after that but not the real competition then it's pointless.
in the thread linked to from the link here on TPU, there is a quote from someone saying that ATI can indeed run this program. That said its a 3rd party quote with no reference so it may not be true.
Interesting, they didn't say it's based on CUDA but that the new code was helped by CUDA. If it means that the app uses CUDA based code to run Pi calculations on a NVidia GPU, and that there's another part of the app that communicates with ATI GPU's differently, that could be a possibility. After all, the object of the app is to test the arithmetic ability of the GPU, and it does it by making shaders do Pi calculations, they're 'fully-programmable' shaders afterall. Sort of like those "Can you run it? system requirements lab" tests are run on IE browser using ActiveX, on Mozilla (and derivatives) using Java applets.
the reasion F@H didnt have nvidia support was first the 7 seirse couldnt produce decent performance foldin, then later because the 8 seirse drivers had issues that would give inaccurage results, pcper forums we had a long talk about this, alot of g80 owners said it was bias, but a few who acctualy understood it explained the problems, and they where all nvidia driver based.....basickly nvidia has a bad habbit of not fixing driver buggs that dont relate dirrectly to getting higher scores in 3dmark or more fps in the top bench games of the month.

Spaceman, aka Jason Pierce of Spiritualized, and improvising rock band Sun City Girls to provide the soundtrack. Each provided pieces for the movie, which Korine used to create a flowing musical accompaniment to the film. Short dialog section are also interspersed through the soundtrack, making both an interesting release of music and a document of the movie, from drifty psychedial, tape collage, and guitar heavy numbers.

Tillamook Grilled Cheese Recipepalooza – Taco Melt from The Grilled Cheese Truck
Dave Danhi and Michele Grant are the dynamic duo behind The Grilled Cheese Truck in Los Angeles, California. Together they have been grilling up unique grilled cheese sandwiches featuring fresh and local ingredients since 2009.
Recipe Details
- Prep time: 30 minutes
- Total time: 45 minutes
- Yield (number of servings): 4
Recipe Overview
Layers of melted Tillamook Pepper Jack and Cotija cheese, taco meat, pico de gallo, and avocado cover crispy corn tortillas. Grill it all between two slices of chili cheese bread – it's how tacos were meant to be eaten.
"Weekly, someone will come up to The Grilled Cheese Truck asking for a taco because, well, it's usually assumed that there are tacos on lunch trucks. If you can't beat them, join them, I say! I love the texture of the crispy tortillas in this!" – Dave Danhi of The Grilled Cheese Truck
Ingredients List
Butter Spread
- ¾ cup (6 oz) Tillamook Unsalted Butter, room temperature
- ¾ cup (6 oz) mayonnaise
Taco Meat
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ yellow onion, cut into ¼ inch pieces
- ½ jalapeño
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1/3 cup cilantro, washed and chopped
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (more or less to taste)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon white pepper, ground
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
Pico de Gallo
- 3 Roma tomatoes, cut in ¼ inch pieces
- 4 whole cloves of garlic, finely minced
- ½ red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, washed and chopped
- 2 limes (juice only)
- 1 jalapeño, finely minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 slices chili cheese bread, thick ½ inch slices (Trader Joe's brand, or see recipe)
- 16 slices Tillamook® Pepper Jack Cheese
- 8 whole corn tortillas, fried crisply
- Taco meat mix (see recipe)
- 4 oz crumbled Cotija cheese
- 8 oz pico de gallo (see recipe)
- 1 large ripe avocado, cut into quarters and sliced thinly
Butter Spread
In a mixer, put butter and mayonnaise and beat with the paddle attachment until well mixed. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all butter as it may stick to the bowl.
Taco Meat
In a heavy bottom pot, heat olive oil until hot and add onions. Sauté for 5 minutes and add garlic and jalapeños. Sauté for 5 more minutes. Add ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally until thoroughly cooked. Add remaining ingredients and adjust seasonings to your taste. Remove from heat.
Pico de Gallo
Combine all ingredients and allow to chill for at least one hour.
Assembly of Sandwiches
Generously butter each slice of bread on one side and lay buttered side down. Add (in this order) on one slice of bread: 2 slices Pepper Jack, 1 crispy corn tortilla, 3 oz cooked taco meat, 1 oz crumbled Cotija cheese, ¼ of the avacado, 1 oz pico de gallo, 1 crispy corn tortilla, 2 slices Pepper Jack, and add the second slice of bread (buttered side out) to top it off.
Heat griddle to about 350°F. Place all sandwiches on griddle. Allow sandwiches to cook slowly. If your heat is too high, the bread will burn and the inside of the sandwich will not be hot. Once golden brown, gently flip and repeat until cheese is melted and inside is hot. If the bread browns prior to the inside being hot, place pan with sandwiches in oven at 450°F to allow to finish.
Jalapeno Cheese Bread (optional)
Cut one jalapeño into very thin slices (use a mandolin if you have one or a very sharp knife), and crumble (or shred) some Cheddar. Butter the outside of a plain piece of bread and place the jalapeño slices (about 4-6 per slice) on the butter. Sprinkle with a small amount of Cheddar and prepare the sandwich as directed above. Be sure to use a non-stick pan when doing it this way. You may want to lower the heat slightly (340°F) so the cheese doesn't burn before the sandwich is ready.

I have a 1090t coming soon, and of course, I'm planning to push it. Trying to figure out what I want it to do. About how far can they get on stock voltage? What does it take to get to 4GHz, and what kind of cooling does it take to keep the temps down? What's the max safe temp? About where can I expect to find the 'sweet spot' where it runs reasonably fast but without a super increase in voltage?
Iirc safe temp is around 62. http://www.overclock.net/t/900949/solved-max-safe-temp-on-1090t I hit 4 ghz @1.41v on air I believe, zalman cooler but got an h60 temps went safe and low.
Honestly not really. I had my 1090t about a year ago, went 2600k last August. I just recall those numbers because I wrote them down in my little black book lol. I did have it paired with an Asus M4A89TD Pro ad it was an awesome build, super reliable and stable, but that's about it. I went from stock clock to 4.0ghz, and since it was stable and a decent OC, never pushed it higher at all. I might have some more numbers like fsb or nb but I'll have to check it tomorrow.
I'm planning to run at 250x16 to get 4GHz, or lower if the temps and voltage go really high. Maybe 250x15 for 3.8
I'm sure it'll work out well for you What kind of cooling are you going to be doing? And are you going to use it to crunch?
These cpu get hot quick , if you want a good oc you need a board with good power phases. 8+2 etc.otherwise you'll have lots of voltage fluctuations and need more volts for an already hot and power hungry cpu. 3.8 GHz is average OC. 4GHz is dependent on the phases. Typhoon should work pretty well.
This is sort of my expectations. Somnetimes chips are really good, but AMD CPUs are all about good temps and decent power.
Temps mainly. I have mine on stock voltage as I can't disable turbo core on this board, and without that feature it Farks with my OC unless I let it alone. Every 10F higher max temp requires about .1 more volt to stabilize from what I have seen and read when reaching max OC potential. Not that I can really complain. Expect around 4.1-4.2Ghz for most chips with normal volts, and 4.3-4.4 for excellent overclocks, and that is either a near perfect chip (low voltage), or high leakage (high voltage and high heat).
Hey guys, I've recently bought a 1090t aswell and would like to oc it to like 4GHz, but I can't seem to get there; pc keeps crashing. Overclocking with multiplier ain't working at all if I leave the bclk alone. At the moment I'm running it with 232x16 for a clock of 3712MHz. Voltage is at 1.475 V (voltage line control still sometimes adds an additional 0.05 Vs) and I have turbo disabled. How do I clock it higher?
Perhaps it's a motherboard issue. Mine hit email@example.com which is different than what you're seeing, so maybe the board can't handle too high of an OC. (just guessing)
62C max temp, 4ghz easy @ around 1.425v-1.45v.. Mem/NB 2800-3000 is the sweet spot for your cpu and memory... It's a C3 chip I'm assuming?
temps max out at 40C, chip revision is E0. gonna play with NB now and see where I end up. The board seems decent enough. Has 8+2 power phase and all
Thubans are nutorious for having faulty temp sensor readings, reporting temps that are much lower than actual, so don't get too frisky before verifying.
Any CPU i dont trust any temp sensor, I pull out a IR Gun for that Read this for Solid Performance Numbers in comparing FX to Phenom II BE http://www.techspot.com/review/452-amd-bulldozer-fx-cpus/page10.html
they get unstable as they get hotter, so really the better the cooling, the better the stability/clocks. 4GHz will take water, or some high end, noisy air. dont forget to OC the NB, as you get a lot of extra memory performance there.
Sounds like you know what you're saying. Any suggestion for NB clocks and voltage? I do have the Noctua NH-D14 for my cpu, and so far the heatsink doesn't seem too warm from stress testing.
in the end i disabled turbo, went for 3.6GHz at 1.375v i think it was, and 2.6GHz NB at 1.25v. gave me good temps (24/7 while silent) with a decent performance boost over stock. i'd start there, test it (dont just use synthetic tests, game as well. my instabilities took hours for the heat to build up, so CPU only tests wouldnt accumulate the heat the GPU would put out while gaming)
Yeah, I remember cranking up the NB to 2500 and seeing some more performance coming out of my memory, even though it was only running at 1360mhz. Then when I used the same memory in my x58 system the memory performance really took off. I'm planning on running 2500nb once again with the easy to work with 250fsb, landing me at 1360mhz with my current memory that's in my x58 system (the crucial 1333). I'll just be playing with the cpu multi, trying to see what kind of cpu clocks I can get.
I don't have a 1090T, but I have 2x 1055T's crunching 24/7 @ 4Ghz. One of them I could only get it stable at v1.5 and the other one v1.45. You should be good even if you have to push it to v1.5, but I wouldn't push it past v1.5. I would start out at v1.4 and move up until it is stable.
Don't know how it works for you guys, but my hardware just wouldn't make it past 3.8ghz. Guess I'll stick with that for now. Thanks for all the input guys, much appreciated!
Considering when that CPU is that High It Smashes the FX 41** 61**, and takes on the 81** or surpasses it easily

Scientists Find A New Kind Of Raptor
Researchers made quite a find this week in Utah: a new species of raptor dinosaur. The ancient creature, a meat eater, was small and fast, with talon-like toes.
"These animals were incredibly fast, incredibly intelligent and some of them wielded very significant claws and sharp teeth," Dr. Lindsay Zanno of the New University of Wisconsin tells NPR's Scott Simon. Zanno led the dig team that made the discovery.
Zanno named the species Talos Sampsoni after her friend and colleague, Dr. Scott Sampson, also known as "Dr. Scott" on the television series, Dinosaur Train. Talos Sampsoni was feathered and about 5 feet long and about 2 and a half feet at the hips, Zanno says. "Definitely an overgrown vicious Labrador Retriever-sized animal," she says.
A graduate student named Michael Knell of Montana State University actually made the discovery. Knell had been hunting the Badlands in Southern Utah for fossilized turtles. "He turned the corner and found one of the most amazing raptor dinosaur specimens we have from the late Cretaceous in North America," Zanno says.
The bones were in tact and looked in the ground the way they would have in life — a discovery, she says, that is fairly rare in North America.
"Most dinosaur specimens that we have have been laying out on the surface for a long time and the bones have become scattered," Zanno says.
The discovery is significant not because it reveals anything new about the biology of these animals, Zanno says, but rather because it's a piece of the puzzle researchers had speculated about but never confirmed. Zanno says that footprint evidence suggested that the specialized talon on the foot of the raptor dinosaur wasn't used for walking and was regularly put in harm's way. But this kind of evidence is ambiguous. "Finding Talos was something we were all waiting for and was confirmation we'd been speculating about for a long time," Zanno says.
The dinosaur soon goes on display at the Utah Museum of Natural History in Salt Lake City.
As for Knell? "He's still plugging away at his degree and hopefully getting some good fanfare out of his important discovery," Zanno says.

What are your thoughts and questions on "the magic washing machine"?
I will be answering questions on my new TED talk today at 11.30 -1.30 pm EST.
Please join the conversation!
Live Conversation energy poverty
Mar 27 2011: Dear Dr. Rosling,
I have enjoyed all your talks on TED.
The magic washing machine was a very creative presentation. I really admire the "art" in the way you explain science. I am from India an I am doing a PhD in biofuels in Australia. Some of the concepts you explained in this presentation such as the use of energy all over the world are very difficult to explain. But you make it really simple to understand for everyone. The crux of this story lies in the gross inequality that we have failed to acknowledge. Not just the West but also the wealthy East.
The attitude towards poverty and implementation of human rights is apathetic at least in my home country. People have been desensitized.
So thank you for revisiting it for us.
Saee -
Mar 27 2011: Dear Dr Rosling,
It isn't just your grandmother and mother who thought/think that the washing machine is a miracle. I've lived in flats where there wasn't one and to go to a laundrette or washing clothes at home!! Well, hard work and very time consuming!!
Whoever invented it should have got a Nobel Prize as the improvement in hygiene hence health-medicine has been huge IMHO -
Mar 27 2011: I think washing machine is the best home gadget ever invented. For people who need to multitask, it is really a gift. It's interesting to note that across all the cultures, washing the laundry is essentially a woman's job. I think it appropriate to call washing machine, a "woman empowerment gadget". It has really helped me to find an extra time. Now the concern is - how to go green?
I really appreciate the talk. -
Mar 27 2011: I once gave up a modern sophisticated job and spent a summer picking apples, which is not much different from washing clothes by hand.
Repetitive menial work in one sense is a great gift. There you are, producing an immediate tangible benefit in direct proportion to the effort you put in. You can be mentally at peace, enjoying the nobility of physical work, blah blah blah.
And then you snap out of it. Yes, this is great for a few days or months. But the injuries on your hands, the backache, the exhaustion from hard daily exertion under a hot sun, the thought that your life is going to be a hard unrearding slog with no possibility of change in the future, they start to take their toll. You start to think about all the other things you could be doing, imagining the cumulative impact of all that heavy lifting.
It's easy, from the comfort of a chair, to romanticise the simple lives of the poor and imagine the benefits that 'they' get from honest daily labour. Many of us have had similar short-term experiences which were valuable and worthwhile. But a character-building break from the complexities of modern life is not the same as a lifetime of drudgery and endless slog against overwhelming hardship.
The poor people I've known generally didn't need to build character, they needed to build wealth. Time is the most precious resource we have, and it should be used wisely to build wealth. Squandering our time on essential but automateable tasks is the worst possible barrier to progress, and this was an excellent talk highlighting one of those 'choke points' in our development. -
Mar 26 2011: Hans, you are brilliant at bringing what matters into the development discussion.
It's remarkable how quickly cultures forget where they came from, or how they got there.
Consider the development of electricity in the rural United States. In 1935, more than 90% of rural families in Europe had easy access to electricity. In the US, half of the country's population was still rural, and less than 10% of the rural families in the US (essentially none of them in the Western and Southern US) had access to electricity. The only thing that changed that situation was a commitment by the US government (like the commitments European governments had made more than a generation before) to make affordable electricity a basic right of every citizen, and to actively commit the resources to make it happen. This happened in living memory, and washing machines were one of the first things that rural families bought. My own parents and grandparents told me stories identical to the one that Hans tells here.
Lights, pumps, and washing machines for everybody changed the face of America in less than a generation, and when you look at the contemporary descriptions of what a washing machine meant to a rural American family in the 1930's, it is striking how similar they are to what Hans describes as the promise for developing nations today.
We can romanticize washing clothes by hand. We can blithely assert that capitalism, by definition, is infallible and that the problem is with "those people". We can certainly come up with a way to get basic appliances into the hands of every family that doesn't require billions of energy pigs sitting in billions of isolated homes across the globe, or require developing countries to repeat the infrastructure mistakes of the developed world. But Rosling's core point - appliances that liberate time, liberate people - is spot on. -
Mar 26 2011: Well,
first, you're an excellent, very engaging speaker. I hardly ever see someone with the passion like you have.
The second thing is that I really liked your speech. I mean - it wasn't 100% serious but it doesn't have to be. The washing machine is a great leading theme and at the same time pretty unconventional. You presented the topic in a very catchy and surprising way. And the punchline - very funny. I loved it.
However, I have an impression that you could have done it with more of an insight. It was rather short and you just gave the audience a quick draft of what is going on. I wish I could see you developing the topic, giving more information, statistics (I know you're good at it ;). I'd be very curious to see a modified, longer version of "the magic washing machine". -
Mar 26 2011: As engaging a speaker you are, I don't think your example was very profound.
You fail to recognize that in these lesser developed countries, people wash their clothes MUCH less often. It is a modern western practice to wear clothes only once or twice before throwing it in the dirty bin. The truth is, these people often don't wash their clothes for MONTHS.
I also think your tone tries too hard at emotionally triggering a guilt response. "If only us energy hoarders gave these poor people washing machines they'd have time to read books and learn." You don't mention the electricity, water and plumbing, infrastructure, and stable government required to have these luxuries such as a washing machine.
Although your statistics are interesting and engaging, you make it seem like a bell curve of energy consumption is unnatural and ethically wrong. The result of capitalism is of course a very uneven distribution, but it helps everyone raise their standard of living. These underdeveloped countries are not struggling, they have absurdly high birth rates because of our ability to provide them with the food to keep exploding in population. And if you're going to use an example to demonstrate improvements in standards of living, at least pick something like agriculture that actually makes sense. -
Mar 26 2011: Having spent a part of my life in that income group I can give you first hand knowledge of washing habits of that group. They do wash their clothes , almost every day ( unless youridea of that population is beggers and road squatters). With meagre supply of soap and water, normally cleaning efficiency is achived with vigorour rubbing or beating the cloth on a plank in villages or a slab in urban area. What would enlighten their life would be a communal washing machine with an affordable charge.
It is a wonderful example and I appreciate Hans for selecting this indicator which is practical, understandable and to which most of the people can relate to.-
Mar 27 2011: This is the third time I posted this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le85KjalzwM&feature=watch_response_rev
That is a link to a bicycle powered washing machine, made from two large drum barrels, and pipes. I'm sure a village could put together a few of these and save those who hand wash a full day of hard work. Now if they were to add a bicycle powered cart or wheel-barrow, they could bring their clean and wet clothes back home, and hang them to dry.
If you check other videos posted by the same people, you'll see one where they could use bicycle-powered machines that can do other things. Best thing of all, it only costs as much as a bicycle; no need for a super-expensive engineering project that bankrupts the country and that puts several generations into wage slavery, and that only benefits the elite of their country.
When Americans look back at their history, the greatest invention of all time wasn't something powered by steam or electricity, it was a simple machine that sped up our ability to remove seeds out of cotton. Teach people how to develop competency with simple machines and then let them build on that knowledge.
Mar 26 2011: Hans, you are my favourite speaker. Love your talks. I agree with you on this one too. I have always thought the washing machine is as great an invention as democracy. There is no point romanticizing tedious toils that keep people, especially women, from more creative and satisfying activities. Those who want to hand wash everything can still do so. However, at least now we have an option.
How people use their free time is their own choice. Those who spend too much time in front of TV are yet to learn the art of using leisure. Again, at least now we have this leisure. It makes higher pursuit possible. -
Mar 26 2011: Hi Hans
I agree with you wash machine and other tools save a lot of time
but we should also warn people to stay away from machines which steal our saved
Time Like T.V
let us assume wash mahine save 3 hours and T.V steal 7 hours
wash mahine +TV= -4 hours
studies show that average Americain spend 6-7 hours daily in front of T.V what a waste of time
Not all the people use the wash time in reading and usefull staff -
Mar 25 2011: I love your work, research, and what you have done for presenting land. Thank you so much!
As for the washing machine – you would not have needed it. You are a master story teller. You have the words, the energy, the belief.
I am getting a little afraid that you might feel pushed to invent ever more dramatic acts on stage.
Please don't.
You *are* the story.
As for the content, it was such an important talk.
Even though, at the end, I felt: Yes. Electricity makes time for reading. Electricity frees us.
But how many household machines, toys and gadgets do we really need?
Where does freedom start, luxury begin, and environmental responsibility end?
Do we really need washer-dryer combos, waffle irons and electric curlers?
Who needs to step up? Who needs to cut down? Those were my questions. -
Mar 25 2011: i have the memory of watching my mother and grandmother work with an old Speedqueen washer in our basement when I was young. they used a stick (or short forked pole) to move the loads of laundry. I didn't get involved, it was hard work and I was a youngster. I also recall the stretching of the clothesline in the back yard. we had several vertical poles with a horizontal beam holding clips for the line. On the other end, the house had the same clips attached. Once the wet laundry had been put through the machines rollers, it was 'ready' to be carried upstairs and hung (when the weather was good) on the line with wooden clips. I could aid in this when I could reach the line. I recall often asking my mother why we couldn't get the spring-loaded clips instead of the wedge type clothespins we used - I was told the spring-loaded clips (were too fancy) and besides they cost more!
I have another memory of watching women - I saw no men doing this work - as they washed their laundry in the river in Mexico. I merely assume they had no other choice. I didn't see a worthwhile conclave of women there. I saw a group of poor women having to do the necessary work for their family. There was no sharing of expertise or advice being given - just backbreaking labor.
My mother and grandmother were working hard even though they could work within their own residence. They were thrilled when they could get automatic machines - they never again dried laundry outdoors - they had done too much work for too many years. Somehow I think those Mexican women would have welcomed a respite from their hard work. -
Mar 24 2011: I really enjoyed this talk :) Regarding the ending on how this will effect sustainability, in TIME magazine's list of 50 best inventions of 2010, an almost waterless washing machine was featured (http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2029497_2030623_2029701,00.html). I have a strong feeling that this technology will spread fast as soon as it becomes more accessible because it is green without forcing people to change their lifestyles. I think this is the key. You are completely right in that people are always looking to increase their quality of life. The "light-bulb" population is always looking to become part of the "washer" population, and the "washer" population is always looking to become the "airline" population. The "airline" population also is the most consumption oriented. Though many in this population are looking to be green, rarely will they do so if it means compromising their lifestyle. You said so yourself, even the greenest of the environmental activists use a washing machine. Therefore, I predict that more and more inventions such as the almost waterless washing machine will be invented. We must hope that this prediction comes true for the sustainability of our world.
Comment deleted
Mar 24 2011: See my comment above about an almost waterless washing machine. I completely agree with your notion that technology such as washing machines require resources that are not always viable to spread. Therefore, I think that technology will adapt such that it will work without the resources (water in this case).
Mar 24 2011: This was a terrific talk. It framed our global conundrum of development versus resources and environment extremely well. The same kind of revolutionary innovation that freed your grandmother and 2 billion others to read and think and move over the "wash line" can occur again, but it will look different. The next innovation must not only free intellect and time, but also use a fraction of the resources and have a fraction of the environmental impacts. The washing machine helped get us here, but it will not get 7 billion people across the "wash line." Yet that doesn't mean we can't have clean clothes, continue development, and protect our environment.
Here's an important distinction: it wasn't the washing machine - the physical object itself - that freed 2 billion women's intellect and time (which could then be reinvested in solving problems). It was the washing machine's function: cleaning clothes with less labor.
The future must be defined by design that delivers drastically more function (in this case, clean clothes) with drastically less resource mass (fewer tons of fuel, water, and materials). Innovation in resource performance, or dMass, will make it possible to get or keep clothes clean with little water or electricity, perhaps without a washing machine at all. This is not just a question of conservation, it is the nanotech and biotech design revolution. We are already beginning to see clothing that requires much less washing and washing machines that require a fraction of the energy and water; but this is just a scratch on the surface of what we can and must do. -
Mar 24 2011: I find it interesting that no one yet has mentioned the deep connection between this talk and one that Prof. Rosling gave a while back on the direct connection between lowered infant mortality which lowers family size and both of which are kickstarted by getting girls into school. In that talk, he showed how quickly infant mortality dropped (and family size right along with it) a generation after girls began going to school in large numbers. Prof Rosling doesn't mention it specifically in this talk, but am I right in thinking that washing machines came along at about the same time? Am I correct in thinking that the amount of time washing machines saved in girls' and womens' lived directly affected their being able to leave the home for a significant amount of time each day to go to school? If that is so, then washing machines could have an indirect impact on world population.
By way of anecdotal evidence for Prof Rosling's point that poor women do not find hand-washing laundry to be a beautiful, social Zen experience, I am reminded of the Amish women of the small Indiana town I used to live in when I taught German. Laundry hung out on lines, yes... but very often washed in the washing machines at the laundromat in town;-) (I also used to see them, mother and 4 or 5 kids in the horse and wagon, in the drive-thru at McDonald's-- one of my cherished memories of living in that town...) -
Mar 24 2011: Your glib, though more than half-serious, comment about the steel industry and the chemical industry at the end makes a good point, but you know, as I know, that they are problematic industries especially when their steel and chemicals are used for the activities of the rich (as defined in your show). It is critical that this debate not be reduced to a battle the well-meaning, naïve Luddite students versus the captains of progress--"Live Better Electrically" (GE); "Better Living Through Chemicals"; etc. These old mottoes purposely mis-characterized the dilemma that we face in order to sell product.
I would really like to work with you for a couple months to develop a TED Talk or some other forum for getting people engaged in this conversation about priorities, perhaps at the Aspen Institute, to explain why people should have washing machines and why they should not have tumble dryers. I am writing a book called More Time to Hang: Greening America's Dirty Laundry. Your assistance in assembling compelling stats would be invaluable.
There is evidence that using your hands in reward-driven work is stimulating to the receptors in the brain that fight depression. Using the body in light work is actually good for it. (This desk jockey can attest to the stiffness of his limbs and weakness of his major muscle groups because he he ironically spends too much time staring into this machine.) By using a dryer, clothes wear out faster and your rob yourself of needed sunlight, which, if the clothes are hanging outside, can actually disinfect and kill dust mites. The stats about dryer-caused house fires are astounding. (Has anybody studied the GHG emissions of structure fires?)-
Mar 24 2011: I live in Japan, and I've written about that very thing-- how unnecessary (most of the time) dryers are. They are expensive to run, in hot weather can actually take *longer* to dry clothes, and they shrink sleeves and pantlegs in addition (as you note) to generally wearing out your clothes. It's the washer that is the real time and labor saver-- not the dryer. Especially the spin cycle-- have you ever wrung water out of jeans? Without the spin cycle they take an eternity to dry. I've seen this topic discussed on personal finance sites as well-- with American commenters all worried about what the neighbors would think about laundry drying outside, and Europeans and Asians scratching their heads over the weird Americans wasting electricity when thing dry just fine outside. As I noted in my blog post ( http://yokohamayomama.blogspot.com/2011/02/on-design-laundry-hangers.html) on my beloved Japanese laundry hangers, when the weather is nice, hanging the laundry out to dry is one of the more pleasant household chores. Honestly, in states like California which have experienced severe energy crunches, I don't understand why outdoor drying lines aren't more prevalent (or even mandatory).
Mar 23 2011: First, Dr. Rosling is using a strawman argument. Western environmentalists are not against people in the developing world from having any particular technology. The issue is over negative externalities and how western economies often try to separate social costs from transaction costs. Electric washing machines are not technologies that can function alone, they require a whole ecosystem of other technologies to make them work, which in turn can be very damaging to cultures and ecosystems.
Second, if there were non-electric based washing machines available, green-conscious consumers would buy them. If some entrepreneur wanted to make a quieter version of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le85KjalzwM&feature=watch_response_rev, I'm sure a lot of people would want one. A small village could pool together its resources to buy one or two of these. They need to make sure that they don't use harsh detergent soaps if they plan to take the water from a public source that other people use.
Third, if we combine other similar innovative approaches, we can give people in non-industrialized countries a high quality of life without using such destructive methods. Such as the clay jar refrigerator, solar thermal cooking, and more. The great thing about developing nations is that they can leap frog the industrial period and lead the green technology revolution. -
Mar 23 2011: There are other important machines in home, refrigarator, stove, TV among others, each one changes your relation with the world.
I have study the impact of the machines in the last 12 years, I have a classification of them and their impact. It is not juts a matter of energy is a matter of cosmovision, of consciousness of the world. For example the MAMACHINEs the one that substitute the work of mothers, all of them give time to the mothers but in the other hand lose the thights of the familiy if the time gain is not spend with the family. By the way the mother of all machines is the one who handles the time: the clock -
Mar 23 2011: Thank you for pointing this out to the world. There seems to be a new Western arrogance about us, this time around it is not us telling the developing world they should live like us, like in colonial times, this time around we are telling they should not want to live like us. We romanticize their way of life, from our comfortable houses and state that they should preserve their rainforests, although that probably means that their economies don't progress as fast as is possible.
We should not scholar developing nations in what they should prioritize, but look at ourselves, we should accept that we will use more energy each year, as we have done for centuries already, even when efficiency takes a leap forward and focus on solar energy to dramatically decrease our environmental impact. So that within 20 years all our energy comes from the sun. -
Mar 23 2011: Another way to classify people below the poverty line is to divide people who each provide energy for themselves from those who get energy from others. That observation reveals the political fact behind the uneven distribution of washing machines. Before you get a washing machine, you must get a supportive political system.
My country has a political system that enables the distribution of human effort for mutual benefit. For people who produce their own energy no political arrangement gives incentive to community development.
Without recent political change in China, more billions would still be producing their own energy. If only all the poor countries had the drive to militarize that has driven China to seek an improved economy. -
Mar 23 2011: It is amazing how far technological progress has come. I have always lived with a washing machine and everyone I knew had them. I can only imagine what it was like back in the old days before the washing machine. It must have seemed like a complete miracle for the women to see a machine do what took them all day do in just an hour's time. It reminds me of things today, like fully functional bicycles and human kidneys being printed. I enjoyed this video clip.
Mar 23 2011: As an Indian, living in my country, I cannot but agree more about the wasteful ways of the prosperous and also about them having no right to lecture to the poor about reducing energy use. However, they certainly have every right to lecture the poor about unchecked population growth which Hans also atributes the increased energy use to. If the 10 billion people on Earth, in 2050, were all able to achieve their aspiration to consume as an average American does today, technology would need to improve energy efficiencies by a factor of twelve only to keep our GHG emissions to their current levels. Indian politicians - and Arab ones too - will do nothing about this great menace of unchecked population growth. Hats off to the Chinese leadership who have been successful in this respect.
Mar 23 2011: Hats off to the Chinese leadership who have been successful in this respect.
I live in Taiwan, which is culturally very similar to China but ruled by a different group of people. There has never been a one-child policy here, in fact the government offers incentives to people to have children - because the birth rate is actually lower that China's.
All across the developed world, educated wealthy people are choosing not to have babies. Poor people, on the other hand, are driving population growth upwards. I guess one solution would be to use force to punish people for having babies. Another would be to help them reach a level of development where they can make the choice on their own.
Mar 23 2011: Thanks a lot, Mr. Rosling, for this marvelous experience. Watching you explaining some "facts" like this should make us think about it sincerely. Have you tried to teach this same subject, and others, to the people who is in charge of "ruling" the world?
Mr. Obama, Mr. Hu Jintao, Mr. Putin, Mr. Singh, Ms. Rousseff, Mr. Naoto Kan, Mr. Harper, Ms. Merkel, Mr. Cameron, Mr. Sarkozy, Mr. Berlusconi, Mr. Zapatero... Mr. Ban Ki-moon... Do they all KNOW about this? If yes, what are they doing? If not, why?
Thank you again, Mr. Rosling for your brilliant speech and for sharing your knowledge and experience with this apprentice.
Best regards / David -
Mar 22 2011: Modern laundry detergent is the real labor saver, not the washing machine. In the "old days" soap was used, which needed very hot water to dissolve it in the water. Because of the wonder of modern detergent, we can now use cold water. Detergent also releases soil from cloth so scrubbing isn't needed like it was with soap, just some agitation after soaking for 15 minutes to shake the soil into the waste water which can then be poured onto plants or the lawn to make it greener. This argument also ignores that wells, plumbing, drains, septic or sewage systems, water heaters, etc., are all also required to even allow a washing machine to work. A simple bucket, stream or garden hose, and modern detergent can be easier (and more fun) than using a washing machine.
Mar 22 2011: I loved the talk and completely agree. I'm a product of living in a country where women washed laundry by hand. My grandmother purchased a washing machine and was the envy of the village. More than that it transformed our household. Doing laundry by hand is a tedious, time consuming work that is needed but not really productive. We all need clean clothes but should we expect people to waste half of their life doing it? Doing laundry by hand took my grandmother 5 days out of the week, usually for 4 hours a day for everyone in the house. That is a lot of time!
Women find multiple ways to converse and maintain relations without having to do manual labor together as some have suggested on here. Why not make it easier? I know my grandmother had more time to spend with me and the family because of it.
I loved the talk.

Actors: | Nick Berry, Bill Maynard, Derek Fowlds, William Simons, Mark Jordon, Frank Middlemass, Niamh Cusack |
Set during the 1960s in the fictional North Yorkshire village of Aidensfield and initially starring former EastEnder Nick Berry as PC Nick Rowan, this enduringly popular series interweaves crime and medical storylines, with a host of colourful characters that viewers took to their hearts, and a wonderfully nostalgic soundtrack. This first series sees Nick and his doctor wife Kate (Niamh Cusack) settling in Aidensfield, having left the bustle of London behind. As villagers initial suspicion gives way to acceptance, the couple become increasingly involved, both professionally and personally, in the daily life of the rural community.

While it may sound like an oxymoron, there is some validity to being "fat and fit."
For years, doctors have used body mass index (BMI), a person's weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, to determine these categories:
Underweight: BMI less than 20
Normal: BMI 20 to 24.9
Overweight: BMI 25 to 29.9
Obese: BMI above 30
Extremely obese: BMI above 35
Many studies attempting to correlate BMI with heart disease risk seem to agree on these two points:
• Obese or extremely obese people have a greatly increased risk of heart disease and death.
• Underweight people also have an increased risk of death (mainly due to underlying conditions, including heart disease, lung disease or cancer, which can produce weight loss as the disease progresses).
However, the health risk for people with BMIs in the overweight category has been more difficult to assess. Some studies indicate that overweight patients have increased risks for heart disease; others do not.
Waist-to-hip ratio may be better indicator for heart disease
Waist-to-hip ratios (WHRs) may be more adequate heart disease indicators for some people. To determine yours, divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement (such as waist 28 divided by hip 38 equals WHR 74), and use this chart to determine your associated health risk:
More recent studies indicate that for people in the overweight category, waist-to-hip ratio and overall level of fitness more accurately reflect their cardiac risk. For instance, in a recent study, overweight men with reduced fitness levels had nearly twice as much abdominal fat as overweight men who were physically fit. Consequently, they had greater risks for heart disease. Even men in the "obese" category benefited by maintaining a good level of cardiovascular fitness; they had less abdominal fat than people with similar BMIs who were not physically fit. Being "fat and fit," therefore, is much better than just being fat.
What's the bottom line?
If your BMI classifies you as overweight, but you are physically fit and your abdominal fat is not excessive, your weight itself may not be a major contributor to your heart risk profile.
If you are merely "overweight," measure your WHR. If it is in normal range, your weight probably is not having a significant impact on your heart disease risk. If you are not physically active and your WHR is abnormal, you are at increased risk.
If you are obese or extremely obese, you have greatly increased cardiac risk and should try to lose weight. However, even obese people improve their heart disease risks if they can remain physically active and fit.
No matter what your BMI profile, physical activity can reduce abdominal obesity and therefore cardiac risk.
How do I learn more?
To learn more about the risk factors, symptoms and treatment for heart disease, visit Western Baptist's newly re-designed Web site at westernbaptist.com/heart. You can take a free, five-minute online heart risk survey and become eligible for reduced-cost cardiac screenings at Baptist Prime Care. You also may phone Baptist Health Line at (270) 575-2918.
Send your questions!
Do you have a cardiac question tugging at your heart? Send it to email@example.com or mail it to HeartBeat, 2501 Kentucky
Ave., Paducah, KY 42003. If we use it in a future HeartBeat column, you will receive a Baptist Heart Center T-shirt.
HeartCheck on Feb. 27
HeartCheck, a free screening event at Western Baptist Hospital, will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Friday, Feb. 27, in the atrium of Doctors Office Building 2. The event features free screenings, including cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, EKG rhythm strips and respiratory checks.
Cardiologist Patrick Withrow, M.D., will be available to review screening results. Health information, including smoking cessation resources, also will be offered, along with a basket raffle, jewelry and bake sales. All proceeds will benefit the American Heart Association.
Advance registration and fasting are not necessary, but you may phone Baptist Health Line at (270) 575-2918 for more information.

Texas passed the Michael Morton Act, SB1611. On May 16, Governor Rick Perry signed the Michael Morton Act into law. See bill analysis here. The act requires prosecutors to hand over all exculpatory evidence to the defense.
Louisiana passed HB371, An Act Relative to Discovery Reform. See engrossed bill here
Brady v. Maryland
The Supreme Court's holding in Brady v. Maryland requires the prosecutor to disclose to the defense all information favorable to the accused, pertaining to either the determination of guilt or imposition of sentencing. As many commentators have observed, the rule of Brady is simply not the rule in our courts. The resulting injustice - as evidenced by persistent claims and findings of the suppression of favorable information and actual wrongful convictions - calls for real change. NACDL supports codification of the prosecution's obligation to provide discovery to the defense of all information favorable to the accused.
NACDL held a live webcast interview with the late Senator Ted Stevens' attorney Robert M. Cary, of Williams & Connolly LLP, who discussed the ramifications of the case and the investigation, and the future of federal discovery reform.

The Undergraduate Program Office at Georgetown's McDonough School of Business offered Summer Research Fellowships for the first time in 2012.

Fourteen students participated in the inaugural program, in which they partnered with faculty members to study topics in accounting, entrepreneurship, finance, government relations, international business, marketing, and operations/information management.
Supporting the Work of Military Members
When six active-duty military students in the Executive MBA (EMBA) class of 2012 enrolled in Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business in 2010, they had no idea that changes to the Post 9/11 GI Bill would lead to decreases in their tuition benefits. As they searched for the means to finish the 20-month program, they faced a delay in their graduation and the possibility of deployment during that time.
Startup Hoyas
Entrepreneurs emerge from Georgetown University each year, but this summer the McDonough School of Business established itself as a home for their businesses by serving as an incubator for 15 groups of entrepreneurs from across campus.
The 11-week StartUpHoyas program, sponsored by the Georgetown Entrepreneurship Initiative, provided workspace in the Rafik B. Hariri Building; mentoring and advising from entrepreneurs-in-residence, faculty, and business professionals; and networking events with the growing entrepreneurship community in Washington, D.C.

ALBANY, GA -- The Albany State Golden Rams have done the hard part climbing back to .500. Just three weeks ago, the prospects didn't look too promising for ASU.
Now, Albany State has put together back to back victories and controls its own destiny in the SIAC East.
The change in fortune for the Golden Rams has changed the attitude in practice.
"I know they're getting excited...you can feel the tempo at practice picking up. We've got to continue to work on what we're doing here and just stay on the practice field. Just play the game everyday we practice," Albany State Head Coach Mike White said.
"Just keep coming out here and working hard. We've got to focus on the little stuff we've got to do to get better and that's what we're going to do," quarterback David Kooi said.
Albany State's slate of eastern division foes opens with Morehouse College Saturday in Atlanta.

I hate liberals.
Personally, I think Boehner should adjourn this session of Congress and go on 3 week vacation to Tahiti.If Jugears can go to Hawaii, Boehner can go to Tahiti.Let´s take all the freeloading Dems off the cliff with us.
Hey Santa, pass this.....Funny. I thought liberals despised Christmas and all symbols associated therewith.
I have just two words for this moron- "Cliff Diving!"
good politicans are only bad ones who haven´t been caught yet!
When this is over the liberal media will falsely accuse the Republicans of raising up the taxes on the wealthy, and will assert that Barack Obama pushed through a tax cut for the middle class. you can count on that.
Everyone knows that Santa gives all thieves lumps of coal. (-Look it up.)
That is a good thing to be on Santa´s naughty list because it is the right thing to do!

MatchObject instances support the following methods and attributes:
If the regular expression uses the (?P<name>...) syntax, the groupN arguments may also be strings identifying groups by their group name. If a string argument is not used as a group name in the pattern, an IndexError exception is raised.
A moderately complicated example:
m = re.match(r"(?P<int>\d+)\.(\d*)", '3.14')
After performing this match, m.group(1) is '3', as is m.group('int'), and m.group(2) is '14'.
Note that m.start(group) will equal m.end(group) if group matched a null string. For example, after m = re.search('b(c?)', 'cba'), m.start(0) is 1, m.end(0) is 2, m.start(1) and m.end(1) are both 2, and m.start(2) raises an IndexError exception.

Mars' foremost photographers pick their favorite images of their favorite planet.
- By airspacemag.com
- AirSpaceMag.com, November 18, 2008
NASA/ JPL /Malin Space Science Systems
This MOC view of a long-dry, "fossil" delta in Eberswalde Crater was the smoking gun that established unequivocally the existence of persistent -- as opposed to sporadic -- water flow in the Martian past. The overlapping ridges and other evidence point to a complex history of deposition over time.

Absolutely Amazing!
There's a lot to be said for intensity. I wish that we had more like him, especially in the NASA program design and management offices.
Posted by Miles Wade on November 23,2008 | 01:04 PM
Fantastic! There is no way anyone who views these can deny the existence of water somewhere on the planet. I still hope someday we will be able to get equally good photos from the other seven planets in our system but until then, I look forward to the day our explorers are setting foot on Mars!

I'm young, and interested in astronomy. When I read this, it makes me more interested. I think, better we share this with others so our next generation will love the nature
Posted by Steedward on March 11,2009 | 11:45 PM
I am an elementary art teacher. This year we are going space crazy. With Mars being closest to the Earth this summer than it will be for decades, I would love to know more about your work. My son is a gifted photographer who loves to go out in search of the perfect photo op, but I think Mars is the prize.
The galaxy like an artist's palette on a super sized scale.
