Someone from Google did a presentation at a conference back around 2000 (either LISA or OSCon, I think) where they described their systems. What they said at that time was that they indeed did not replace nodes that failed -- at least not as they failed. If memeory serves, they reported that they just turned off failed nodes, and then went through at some scheduled time and replaced all the failed nodes at once. They also described one earlier iteration of their server design that sounds a bit like the one currently under discussion, which consisted of four motherboards screwed onto a flat plate, with drives underneath, and some external power supply. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Greg Byshenk Technical Supervisor/Team Leader ICT Telephone: +31 (0)71 579 5539 AOES B.V.

CHICAGO—There is a moment in Steven Spielberg's E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial in which scientists realize that E.T. in fact has DNA, like Earth-based life forms. But that DNA is unlike any that scientists have thus far—it being 1982, of course—found in any Earthbound organism: It has six, instead of the usual four, bases in its alphabet.
Had E.T. been made today, a scientific consultant may have had to give a nod to a lab in Gainesville, Fla., where DNA with six nucleotides exists in a beaker.
"We have an artificial chemical system that is capable of Darwinian evolution," biochemist Steven A. Benner, of the Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution in Gainesville, said at a session here at the American Association for the Advancement of Science's (AAAS) annual meeting this morning.
But before you get too excited—or terrified—about mad scientists creating artificial life in the lab, Benner's caveats are worth noting: The system "is not self-sustaining."
In other words, this "artificial life" isn't alive at all, even if it works sort of like life does. And it's not going to rival E.T. anytime soon.
A quick review: DNA's four bases—A for adenine, C for cytosine, G for guanine and T for thymine—pair off to store information that is translated into ribonucleic acid (RNA) and then into proteins. Benner told reporters yesterday that his team had created a system "made up of four molecules that are the basic building blocks of our DNA along with eight synthetic modifications of them," for a total of 12 bases, according to LiveScience.
Benner discussed those 12 bases—named Z, P, V, J, Iso-C, Iso-G, X and K—briefly this morning at a public session that we live-Twittered, but spent most of his time describing the six-base version of his team's "Artificially Expanded Genetic Information System." (That gave him a chance to bring up E.T.)
When the system copies itself, it can make mistakes, and some of those mistakes might be more likely to be copied than other sequences, which means natural selection and evolution. But the system needs a boost from something called the polymerase chain reaction, so it can't do the copying all on its own, like DNA can, and is therefore not self-sustaining. Benner said yesterday, however, that was just a few years away.
The point of all this? It's not to create a new version of life on Earth, although it's certainly at least a theoretical step in that direction. There are other such attempts, such as this one using a DNA-like molecule that has a triple, instead of double, helix. And there are related attempts to create artificial life in the lab using the same molecular biology in existing organisms.
What Benner and others are trying to do, with funding from NASA, is figure out what life might look like on other planets, if we ever find it. "One of the ways scientists try to understand life as a universal concept...is you try to make life on your own in the lab," Benner said yesterday, according to LiveScience. "We try to put together chemicals that do that."
That life on other planets may not be based on the same molecular biology that governs life on Earth, because of the composition of those planets and their atmospheres. So at today's session, other scientists described such "weird life" that could give clues to basis for extraterrestrial life. Paul Davies, a physicist, cosmologist, and astrobiologist at Arizona State University, described a "shadow biosphere" filled with the descendants of previous alien life on Earth.
As Davies and Benner pointed out, those descendants, and evidence of their ancestors, are most likely to be found at the microscopic level—Benner cited tiny structures in the Allan Hills meteorite as one potential example—not in the cute, if bizarre-looking, being from Steven Spielberg's imagination.

...or if the same information was held in a shorter length, or made redundant... could you potentially see full replication of the strand, or even repair? Hmmmmm...
It's gonna be an interesting century.
Hey Ivan, you (or your editor) wrote: "But the system needs a boost from something called the polymerase chain reaction, so it can't do the copying all on its own, like DNA can, ..."
DNA can't copy itself. It too needs proteins called polymerases to do that. Some RNA molecules have been developed in a lab that can make more of themselves without the help of proteins (see http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/01/replicatingrna.html), but they're not found in nature, so far. A better example of things that replicate "on their own" might simply be "cells."
If more bases exist in life forms other than on earth, then surely this increases the number of geochemistry conditions on other planets, meaning more liife on other worlds can exist than we have so far allowed for?

Trailer: SOUND CITY PLAYERS' NYC Debut Sold Out
Dave Grohl's SOUND CITY PLAYERS' February 13 extravaganza at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom has sold out. All tickets for the one-time-only NYC all-star team-up of Dave Grohl and his extended Foo Fighters and Nirvana families with Stevie Nicks, John Fogerty, Rick Springfield, Lee Ving of Fear, Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick, Brad Wilk of Rage Against The Machine are now gone. The trailer is available below!
While in New York, Grohl will drop by THE COLBERT REPORT February 13 to discuss his critically and commercially successful directorial debut, and on February 14 THE SOUND CITY PLAYERS with special guest Stevie Nicks will make their network TV debut on THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN.
Having so far played two historic shows to date--one at this year's Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah and one in Los Angeles to commemorate SOUND CITY's January 31 Hollywood premiere--THE SOUND CITY PLAYERS bring to life the music created for the documentary and its accompanying SOUND CITY-REAL TO REEL album, out March 12 on Roswell/RCA. SOUND CITY-REAL TO REEL is currently available for pre-order at http://bit.ly/SoundCityiTunes, with all pre-orders immediately receiving first single "Cut Me Some Slack"-performed by Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear.
As with the two previous shows, NYC configuration of the SOUND CITY PLAYERS will also perform numerous classics from the catalogues of Stevie Nicks, John Fogerty, Rick Springfield, Fear, Cheap Trick and more, as they join Grohl and a cast of his current and former bandmates including Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Krist Novoselic, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear and other familiar faces for a once in a lifetime evening.
SOUND CITY's grassroots distribution strategy to release day and date globally as theatrical, VOD and Direct to Consumer has netted the film an impressive $1 million in just 4 days. It is available for purchase DRM-free direct from the filmmaker at http://soundcitymovie.com and through iTunes--where it shot to #1 on the Documentary charts within hours of its Worldwide release on Friday--at http://bit.ly/SoundCityiTunes. The film is also available Worldwide on demand with more than 100 operators including: Comcast, DirecTV, Time Warner Cable, Cox, Verizon FiOS, AT&T U-Verse, Amazon VOD, Google Play, Vudu, and Sony PlayStation. One night only screenings were held January 31 across the USA, Australia and New Zealand, with theatrical runs beginning February 1. See http://soundcitymovie.com for more information on how to see the film.

Solid and durable and with the belt loop case a great buy. Been very happy with Deb Specs products in accept to a Wayfarer type frame I had where the plastic gave out at the hinge point.The material was in black and fatigued in only light use. Looking forward to using my Nautical readers,these products by far are better quality and design that you get from the local pharmacy at even half the cost. Keep up the good work!
I got these glasses for a friend. He usually wears wire-rims, but I convinced him to try these and he likes them quite a bit, although they're somewhat heavy.
Great value.

3 Ex-Dividend Stocks With Buy Ratings
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The following stocks go ex-dividend Thursday, meaning an investor must purchase the shares Wednesday to qualify for the next dividend payment: Graco(GGG) , EOG Resources (EOG) and Werner Enterprises (WERN) .
Each of the stocks received a buy rating from TheStreet Ratings .
The fluid equipment maker is scheduled to report first-quarter earnings on April 24. Analysts, on average, anticipate earnings of 61 cents a share on revenue of $235.59 million.
"Graco Inc. (GGG-NYSE) announced that it has reached an agreement with the Federal Trade Commission that will allow it to close its previously halted acquisition of ITW's Finishing Businesses (FB), with the closing date currently scheduled for April 2, 2012," KeyBanc Capital Markets analysts wrote in a March 27 report. "Under the agreement, GGG is allowed to integrate the Gema Powder Finishing business (which has cleared the FTC review process) into its operating structure, but must hold the Liquid Finishing assets (i.e., Binks, DeVilbiss, Ransburg and BGK) as a separate entity while the FTC reviews the Company's settlement proposal. The terms of GGG's settlement proposal were not disclosed. After the deal is finalized on April 2, ITW's Liquid Finishing businesses will be wholly-owned by GGG but will operate independently under existing management subject to supervision of a trustee who will report directly to the FTC. Following the completion of its review, the FTC will then make a final decision that will identify the liquid finishing products, businesses and/or assets that GGG will be required to divest within 180 days of notice."
Forward Annual Dividend Yield: 1.7%
Rated "A- (Buy)" by TheStreet Ratings : The company's fourth-quarter gross profit margin was about the same as it was the previous year.
Graco is very liquid. Its Quick Ratio is 3.46, which shows the company can meet its short-term cash needs.
In the fourth quarter, stockholders' net worth increased 22.19% from the prior year.
TheStreet Ratings' price target is $62.57.
EOG Resources
"While solid 2H11 production trends and well performance saw EOG raise FY12 liquids production guidance to 30% (from 27%) at 4Q results, a number of factors confused the street," Deutsche Bank analysts wrote in a March 30 report. "Namely: flat 1H12 liquids guidance and the decision to sell liquids volumes (~3 mboepd) to support the funding gap. We have revised our per play model to reflect year end disclosure and the 2012 development plan. Our work suggests that net of asset sales and assuming 25% declines in 'other' liquids production (non- Eagle Ford, Combo, Bakken) still implies ~40% liquids growth in 2012e. Guidance is still conservative as it implies closer to ~50% declines from 'other' liquids."

When I try to connect using mission planner versions 1.1.51 & 1.1.52 I get a "No Heartbeat Packets Received" box after the time out.
I don't have this problem with 1.1.50, have I missed something.
I am using Windows Xp if that makes a difference.
what firmware and what apm board version?
I downloaded AC2.4.1 for quad to 2560 board via USB
MP 1.1.50 works ok for me at the moment. I have tried using the update option offered in 1.1.50 but that takes it to 1.1.52 and still fails with the same result. So I have to delete the updated version and go back to loading 1.1.50 and say no to the update option.
also is this via usb? or xbee? or other
1.1.51 connected and working fine with xbee's
1.1.52 not connecting -no heartbeat with xbee's
xbee pro 900
arduplane 2.24
what usb to xbee adapter are you guys running?
I tried 1.1.52 again this morning (2 flights) and it now worked fine with the xbees, didn't do anything different?.
I am using the Extreme bee boards.

Honeycomb Cell Shade Installation - Part 2 of 2Part 2 of 2 of instructions of how to install honeycomb cell shades. Simple instructions to install our standard and soft touch honeycomb cell shades. How to Install Honeycomb Cell ShadesOutside mount with extension bracketInserting the headrailFirst lower the bottom rail about an inch. This will help keep the cellular shade fabric from getting caught between the brackets and the headrail. Position the headrail with the front lip(A) resting on the top hooks of all the brackets. Make sure that no fabric is pinched between the brackets and the headrail. Push the bottom of the headrail firmly upwards and toward the window until the groove at the bottom of the headrail snaps into place (B) as shown. Operation To lower the shade, pull down on the handle which is secured to the bottom rail. To raise the honeycomb cell shade, push the bottom rail up. The shades will hold at any position when the bottom rail is released. Removing the headrail To remove a shade, insert a screwdriver between the headrail and the bottom back of the bracket (tab which extends out slightly from each bracket). Gently pry the screwdriver to release the bracket from the headrail Take care not to damage the painted finish of the headrail. As you release the brackets support the headrail to keep it from falling. Installing the handle Locate the center of the bottom rail. Gently lift fabric out of the way. Hook the top of the handle over the front lip on the bottom rail. Rotate handle down until it snaps into place. Trouble shootingProblem: Cordless Shade will not stay down.Cause:Because cell shades are fabricated primarily in the closed position, the fabric may want to spring up. Repair: Gently pull down on a section of cells to relax the pleats (see diagram below). Repeat with another section of cells until the fabric is sufficiently relaxed.

by Michael Thomas Barry
On December 12, 1913, two years after it was stolen from the Louvre Museum in Paris, Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece The Mona Lisa is recovered inside Italian waiter Vincenzo Peruggia's apartment in Florence. Peruggia had previously worked at the Louvre and had participated in the heist with a group of accomplices dressed as Louvre janitors on the morning of August 21, 1911.
On December 11, 1964, in response to a reported shooting, officers of the Los Angeles Police Department were dispatched to the Hacienda Motel, where they found singer Sam Cooke dead on the office floor, shot three times in the chest by the motel's manager, Bertha Franklin. The authorities ruled Cooke's death a case of justifiable homicide, based on the testimony of Franklin, who claimed that Cooke had threatened her life after attempting to rape a young woman with whom he had earlier checked in.
Frank Sinatra Jr.
On December 10, 1963, Frank Sinatra Jr., who was kidnapped in Lake Tahoe, California, two days earlier is allowed to talk to his father briefly. The 19-year-old man, who was trying to follow in his father's footsteps by pursuing a singing career, was abducted at gunpoint from his hotel room at Harrah's Casino and taken to Canoga Park. After the brief conversation between father and son, the kidnappers demanded a ransom of $240,000.
Mumia Abu-Jamal
On December 9, 1981, Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner is found dead on the street with Mumia Abu-Jamal, a well-known activist and freelance journalist, lying severely wounded nearby. In 1982, Abu-Jamal was tried for and convicted of Faulkner's murder, but because of the murky circumstances surrounding the incident and a trial that many believe was unfair, activists have since protested Abu-Jamal's imprisonment.
On December 7, 1992, Colin Ferguson opens fire on a Long Island Rail Road commuter train from New York City, killing 6 and injuring 19. Other train passengers stopped the perpetrator by tackling and holding him down. Ferguson later attributed the shooting spree to his deep-seated hatred of white people.
The Reno Bros. Gang
On December 6, 1868, a guard, who had been shot by brothers Frank, William, and Simeon Reno during a train robbery in May, died of his wounds. His death so infuriated the public that a group of vigilantes yanked the three brothers from their Indiana jail cell five days later and hanged them. Although the Reno gang had a short reign of terror, they are credited with pulling off the first train robbery in American history and are believed to be the inspiration for criminal copycats like Jesse James and others.
Warren Avenue Baptist Church
On December 5, 1873, Bridget Landregan is found beaten and strangled to death in the Boston suburb of Dorchester. According to witnesses, a man in black clothes and a flowing cape attempted to sexually assault the dead girl before running away. In 1874, a man fitting the same description clubbed another young girl, Mary Sullivan, to death. His third victim, Mary Tynan, was bludgeoned in her bed in 1875. Although she survived for a year after the severe attack, she was never able to identify her attacker.
Black Panther leader Fred Hampton
On December 4, 1969, Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were gunned down by police in their Chicago, Illinois apartment. About a hundred bullets had been fired in what police described as a fierce gun battle with members of the Black Panther Party. However, ballistics experts later determined that only one of those bullets came from the Panthers' side.
On December 2, 1859, militant abolitionist John Brown was executed on charges of treason, murder, and insurrection. Brown was born in Connecticut in 1800. He first became militant during the mid-1850s, when as a leader of the Free State forces in Kansas he fought pro-slavery settlers. Achieving only moderate success in his fight against slavery in Kansas, Brown settled on a more ambitious plan in 1859.
Aileen Wuornos
On November 30, 1989, Richard Mallory, a storeowner in Palm Harbor, Florida, is last seen taking a ride with Aileen Wuornos. The following day, his car was found abandoned in a remote area of Ormond Beach. Nearly two weeks later, his body turned up in a Daytona Beach junkyard with three bullets in his chest. Mallory's murder was the first of seven committed by Aileen Wuornos over the next year. Perhaps because she was one of the few women killers to gain widespread fame and notoriety, she has been inaccurately dubbed "America's first female serial killer."

February 1, 2013 Pebble HuntingStanding Pat in San FranciscoIt's been a quiet winter in Lake Wilsonbegone, my hometown. The local nine had a nice parade down Market Street, and the smell of the city made everybody act a bit peculiar that night. A few weeks later Frank Romo's boy was on his way home to see his sweetheart when he got fired up by the protest spirit and ended up serving a few minutes of hard time in the custody of the Las Vegas Police Department. Skinny Timmy won a GIF contest, and the old-timers at the Chatterbox Cafe had a fun time guessing what a GIF contest is. There's not much other action for GM Brian Sabean these days. His Giants won the World Series last year, and when you win the World Series your honey-do list gets pretty simple.

I'm obsessed with Portos and after shoving 10 of their meat pies in my face, I decided to try and create my own. They turned out delicious!!! Want to try them?? (FYI-super fun activity to make with your lover and BFF)
What you will need
-Pastry crust OR whole wheat pizza dough (I used pizza dough and they came out like mini calzones)
-1 Pound ground turkey
-Sweet and spicey peppers
-Garlic salt
-Garlic (fresh or hard minced)
-1 tomato
Step 1- Start cooking the onions and top with salt and pepper, cook until golden brown
Step 2-Start chopping your sweet and spicy peppers (This is the brand I use, only because its the BEST. But any brand will do just fine)
Step 3-Add in the ground turkey and chopped tomato to your sauteed onions and starting browning your meat. Put in salt, pepper, garlic and any other seasonings you wish to taste.
4-Start spreading out your dough onto a cookie/baking sheet

Hi Everyone I just found a great fix to stop win7 parking the cores when Idle. This is an aggressive power saving approach which makes the system feel sluggish and underpowered.. Who is affected It only applies to Windows 7 X64 and X32 and only in systems using more than 2 physical CPU's and/or more than 2 "logical" cores - ie: Core i7's. The Problem Core Parking is a feature of Windows 7 that is causing rare performance problems. I don't notice it on my home i7 / Win7 system but some people are getting microstutters and odd behavior in certain programs. Without the following " tweak" you may see CPU spiking in your programs and Windows Task Manager - some CPU cores will be "turned off" / "parked" depending on load and they will be dynamically turned on or off and dynamically loaded up or down as the system deems necessary - the scope for glitches / pops / clicks / dropouts etc.... in such an environment is simply enormous. To the best of my knowledge, there is no known "switch" to turn it off - no utility I am aware of to "tweak" it off. The Fix - Go to Regedit - Select Edit > Find... and find this key: "Specify the minimum number of unparked cores/packages allowed (in percentage)." - Within this key, there is a value called: " ValueMax " This value represents the % number of cores the system will park - Change the value of " ValueMax" to 0 so that, it matches " ValueMin " - You will have to find the key a few times and repeat the process for each time it is found - the number of instances will depend on the number of power profiles in your system. To do this go back up to Edit > Find Next. (I had 3 instances of this key in my registry.) - Do a full shutdown and power-off and cold-re-start. This seems to work better. SOURCE Thanks guys in the BF3 clubhouse.
Its something windows 7 does to save some energy. This fix has been known to help anyone with HT shuttering issues in BF3
Yes, I knew that part, but there's a hardware/software layer that allows Win7 to do this, and my assumption is it's talking through the BIOS. Much like the power saving modes of old.
I made the changes, will check it out this afternoon. First thing to report is that it did not affect idle temps at all.
Just tried this myself with winrar, and it does indeed increase performance by a fair bit. However there is an easier way, just one reg mod and you can set it in power options! 0% is fully enabled, and 100% and parking is fully disabled:
I already tried to make those adjsutments, and "Core Parking" still seemed to be enabled, as the power plan here on my system didn't list core parking in the power options. I wonder why it shows in yours? Weird...
My power options did not change and I dont have any thing that looks like your screen shot. Your screenie almost looks like windows is skinned to basic.?.
You just need to use the one reg mod I showed, simply change the attribute from 1 to 0. Then it will show up in advanced power options.
Click "Change power settings" then "Change advanced power settings". Oh, and I didn't need a reboot for any of this, it worked right away. Edit: and yes, I use classic interface, with classicshell ect....
I did this awhile ago. Increased my gflops and did not increase power draw. What exactly is core parking supposed to accomplish because so far it just wastes performance.
WOW right of the bat it has lowered my temp on my core 0 while folding with smp and v7!I always had core0 running a few degrees hotter but now its on par with all the rest of the cores! Hot damn nice!
"Core Parking" will fully disable and power down unused cores that support "Core Parking". It takes a moment or two to "wake" the "sleeping" core, which causes the performance loss. It will also shift workloads to active cores so that only the needed amount of cores are "woken" from the ultra-low-power state. Disabling Core Parking removes the Ultra-low power staes, having the cores ready for new work. As far as I understand it, teh WIn7 kernel isn't able to fully support CoreParking right yet, so maybe that's why there is no differnce in idle states or power consumption. It's more than possible that the cores aren't actually "sleeping" in Win7, and are merely ignored for thread-dispatch.
maybe, but it seems to be more for INtel CPUs with HT. Give it a try and let us know; it's easy to reverse.
I'll try anything for a performance increase Whats the best indicator of any perfomance increase? Will it mean I can run Crysis? But seriously, which benchmark would show up any improvement?
things that are more core-instensive, liek winrar and such, should show the largest gains, but I seem to be noticing an effect in nearly everything. It might be a placebo effect, but even IE seems to load up faster.

Best-dressed: Wellington Fashion Week
Friday night's show at the inaugural Wellington Fashion Week turned up the heat and so did the fashion lovers attending. We saw some great ensembles, although a few young women were a bit embarrassed to tell us who they were wearing because they weren't major designers.
I always assure people that it's not about how much your dress cost or who's on the tag, a gorgeous outfit that cost you $40 can look just as good as a $500 dress. It's all about what suits you and wearing your clothes with confidence. And hey, who doesn't love a bargain?
We spoke to some lovely people out the back in Harry's media suite and to some models and their friends in the audience after the Group B show. Everyone looked amazing and were happy to show off their clothes for the camera.

Home Is the Sailor
One hundred years ago this month, John Paul Jones was welcomed home with great fanfare at the U.S. Naval Academy. But was the body really his?
- By Adam Goodheart
- Smithsonian magazine, April 2006, Subscribe
In a softly lit crypt beneath the chapel of the U.S. Naval Academy, a massive sarcophagus of veined marble rests on the backs of four bronze dolphins. At a respectful distance from the tomb, two midshipmen with gleaming swords stand vigil over a body and a mystery nearly as old as our country itself.
One hundred years ago, on April 24, 1906, amid pomp and fanfare the likes of which Annapolis had never seen, an American president laid to rest a national hero who had died more than a century before. The great man's remains had only recently been returned to these shores, rescued from an unmarked grave in a foreign land—a discovery that was hailed, on two continents, as a triumph. Yet even at the time, there were whispers that the cadaver brought home in glory might be the wrong one. The whispers have never been completely silenced.
The stillness of the crypt is broken by the voice of a tour guide in Colonial costume. "John Paul Jones was truly a hero," she says. "He never lost a battle—came close, but he never lost." She tells the story of how he received the first salute offered by a foreign power to an American naval vessel, and how, in 1779, at the helm of the Bonhomme Richard, he captured the British frigate HMS Serapis even as his own ship sank beneath him—uttering the defiant cry, "I have not yet begun to fight!" She mentions his legendary good looks, his popularity with the ladies. "Jones died a relatively young man, at the age of 45," she says as she leads her group toward the exit.
She doesn't mention that a significant chapter of Jones' story began only with his death, and that it was more eventful than many people's lives.
In the spring of 1905, in a cramped, fetid tunnel beneath a working-class neighborhood of Paris, a group of men gathered around a battered coffin. Several of them were well dressed, in dark frock coats and bowler hats; others, in grimy, patched clothing, held picks and shovels. By the light of candles flickering around the head of the coffin, the men watched as its heavy lid was carefully removed. A sharp alcoholic odor arose, and the candlelight illuminated cloth and straw. Clearing away the wrapping, the men stared into the face of the corpse. "Paul Jones!" someone exclaimed, and all present solemnly removed their hats.
It was an especially satisfying moment for one of those frock-coated gentlemen: Gen. Horace Porter, the United States ambassador to France, for whom the discovery was the culmination of a tireless six-year quest.
Porter, too, was an American war hero. He had won the Medal of Honor at Chickamauga in 1863 and become one of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's favorite aides-de-camp, even standing at the Union commander's side when Lee surrendered at Appomattox. When—after arriving in Paris in 1897—Porter learned that Jones' body had lain for more than a century in a forgotten grave somewhere beneath the city, he embarked on finding it in 1899 with the stamina of a veteran campaigner.
Over the years, other Americans had come to Paris in search of Jones, but had been thwarted by a lack of documents. The French records of his death and burial in 1792 had been destroyed in a fire; one searcher, in the 1850s, regretfully concluded that the hero's bones had probably ended up in the vast Paris catacombs, lost forever among millions of anonymous skeletons. But through persistence and luck, Porter found an article with a transcript of the burial record. The article attested that Jones had been interred in the Cimetière St.-Louis, a small graveyard reserved for foreign-born Protestants.

The following article comes from the U.S. News ebook, How to Live to 100, which is now available for purchase.
Marriage is, for many people, their most important relationship, the source of much happiness, and, for some, even adds extra years to their life. So, what is it about marriage that's so important to us? And what happens within a marriage to produce happiness and well-being?
"Married people overall do better on virtually every indicator of health and well-being," says Robin Simon, a sociology professor and researcher at Wake Forest University. "Even when they get sick, married people are more likely to recover."
Other researchers have found that marriage's well-being advantage has narrowed and perhaps even disappeared compared with other types of living arrangements. The prevalence and social acceptance of unmarried couples and people choosing to live alone have risen a lot in recent years. "Over the last 30 years, the health gap between the married and never-married has narrowed to almost nothing," says Debra J. Umberson, a sociology professor and researcher at the University of Texas.
"I do believe the gap between marriage and cohabitation is not as wide as people think," Simon agrees, although she feels marriage still comes out ahead. "It's really not as much about marriage as having an intimate partner," she says. "In all of my work, marriage is good. Intimacy is good."
Intimacy, trust, and commitment form one component of the four resources experts cite as giving married people an upward boost in happiness and well-being. The others are:
- The legal rights and advantages of marriage, such as tax and health-plan benefits.
- Social roles that can give husbands and wives a stronger sense of their own identities and also enhance their well-being in other ways. By dividing up all sorts of activities—domestic, family, community, leisure planning, and the like—couples get more done, relieve stress on one another, and can expand the range and amount of outside activities. And while spousal nagging can bring down relationships, it seems to effectively get partners to take better care of their health.
- The social support spouses provide to each other. By bringing their own sets of external relationships into the marriage, they expand the richness and reach of each other's social connections. This social connectivity, Umberson and other experts stress, is a vital and often under-appreciated source of happiness.
While the link between marriage and well-being has been intensely studied, predicting marital success is difficult. Exactly which people are likely to make successful spouses, and what can they do to increase the odds of being successful and happy in marriage?
Rates of divorce have recently declined, but marriages and other intimate relationships seem to have an underlying survival rate of only 50 to 60 percent, notes Andrew Cherlin, a professor of sociology and public policy at Johns Hopkins University.
"The state of marriage is that it's going in two directions," he adds. "For people with a college degree, marriage is still going strong." However, Cherlin explains, "for people with less education, there's less marriage, more break-ups, more children born out of marriage, and more stress." Happy marriage outcomes are much less common in such households.
We're getting married later, which might contribute to successful outcomes. The median age for a man's first marriage is nearly 27½, and for women, it's over 25½. Married women are waiting longer to have children, and there is increasing parity in all key metrics between men and women.

Oracle is on a mission to recruit Hewlett Packard hardware partners as part of an aggressive recruitment blitz aimed at growing its solution provider network by as many as 8,000 partners to 25,000 over the next year.
The recruitment blitz comes with Oracle investing more than it ever has in targeting the broad small medium business market in the wake of the recent launch of the Oracle Database Appliance, the first Oracle integrated hardware-software offering built from the ground up to drive sales through Oracle channel partners.
"We are absolutely going to go into our competitor's base because we think there are some fairly effective partners out there that are looking for new technologies to sell," said Judson Althoff, senior vice president of worldwide alliances and channel sales for Oracle in a press briefing on the opening day of Oracle's massive OpenWorld conference Sunday afternoon in San Francisco. "We think our competition from a product standpoint really hasn't innovated that much." He said Oracle is going to go after the "the very best in the industry and some of those are going to be competitive wins."
Althoff singled out HP pointing to the damaging effect that HP's plans to spin off its PC business could have on HP's server business which is under attack from the Oracle Database Appliance. "A lot of the leverage of that (HP Server product line) comes from the economies of scale afforded by the PC base," he said. "If they are out of that business, the ability to innovate and provide cost effective products in the blade space is going to be challenged. It is going to be hindered. With a product like the Database Appliance we simply have a better offering. It is more innovative."
Althoff also pointed to the dramatic fall in HP's market capitalization in the wake of the software and services strategy charted by former HP CEO Leo Apotheker, who was fired last month.

Approx. 16,630 words.
Published on August 20, 2010.
What would Moses tell us if he could talk to us today from plain of Sinai? What would he say about killing that slave-driver in Egypt? about trying to persuade old Pharaoh to let the Israelites go free? or about not being able to get into the Promised Land himself before he died? Read, in first-person style, what this embattled leader of Israel has to say about these adventures.

Yeah... steelkane, welcome to the massively-multi-cored future. Massively-multi-cored future, I see steelkane has never met you before. In a few years, you'll be seeing 16-core chips. Super-high clock speeds are soon to be a thing of the past.
I doubt we'll see the FX series again for a while (perhaps if AMD has a high end chip that Intel doesn't have an answer to). I bet when that time comes, Intel will bring back the Intel Extreme(ly power consuming) Edition! Before that though, we'll probably see the Phenom II x4 Hispanic Edition, because the Black Edition is getting played out.
Not TPU they won't be. As long as it has voltage someone on these forums will figure out a way to make it faster. You want 4Ghz? Buy a 955 and OC that som-bitch till the next lunar eclipse!
Oh, there will always be TPU. But I wouldn't be surprised if the average clockspeed of a core in a 32-core chip (5 years from now) is only 1GHz.
Even if the cumulative ability of that 32-core 1GHz chip would make it capable of 10 times more work than your 4GHz quadcore?
Just better hope you got multithreaded applications to run on it. That would be so depressing to have 32 cores and only be able to use one.
This man does not sympathize with you. I'd love a six-core Opteron or i7 system right about now because the software I use is so multi-threaded already! We're also on the verge of bare-metal hypervisors (ESX/ESXi, Hyper-V) providing GPU segmentation. Coupled with technologies such as PCoIP, we won't be far from the "home mainframe", something that I've dabbled with since the late 90's. Unfortunately all solutions to date have had severe limitations. But PCoIP can overcome distance from the computer and a hyper-visor that allows you to assign a GPU will allow for fully-functioning stations.
We have has multi threaded CPUs for a while now. Programers have yet to really catch up. I bet 5 years from now using 4 cores will be standard but a LONG way from 32.
I don't know -- I wouldn't be so sure about that. The problem with programming pipelined code isn't just "having to code for a set number of cores" -- it's thinking about coding in a different way, entirely. Once you get the hang of spinning off your threads to be executed concurrently, it doesn't matter if your CPU has 4 cores, or 8, or 32, or 1000 -- your program works the same, it just gets done quicker. "True" multithreaded applications continue to scale no matter how many cores are used -- think that one Valve particle test, and I think Surpreme Commander.
I guess no need to argue really. Time will tell and even then someone will still claim they are right "technically". One thing I have noticed about people is even when the are wrong they are still "right". Arguing on this forum is like arguing with my wife. Even when I'm right, I'm still wrong.
You also need something that represents a large enough CPU workload to even bother multithreading it. I've only made two programs out of dozens of others that had even CPU burden to warrant making it multithreaded... -Decompiles model files and recompiles them into a different version. Over 500 files and takes about 6 minutes on a dual, quad-core Xeon. -Calculated different paths a Knight could take to touch all 64 tiles on a chess board. It relied on random values so the time to find a working path could take anywhere from half a second to a minute on eight cores. A lot of the rest were also multithreaded but none of them put a single core to use at more than 5%. They are mulithreaded in order to prevent lock ups but most of the time, those threads are idle. An example: all modern browsers are multithreaded but the work they do isn't that CPU intensive so you're still only looking at like 5% usage on a single core.
Hey, give it some time -- 5 years ago I could browse the web pretty nicely on a Pentium IV. Today, most web pages I go to on my old Pentium IV bog down, especially if they're Flash heavy. You never know what the future is going to hold!
Um, you do know that the "FX" moniker has been replaced with "black edition" dont you? They are the same damn thing, the FX was just an higher binned chip with unlocked multi, same as the black editions, if you cant deal with that.....you should go intel and get an X chip, of course thats going to cost you a good bit since intel still charges a high premium for an unlocked multi.
The Cutlass was replaced with another "Cutlass" only it was a 6 cylinder. AMD hasn't made a CPU worth the FX name in quite sometime. FX Black Edition
I suspect HTML5 will clean up a lot of the mess that Flash made. Moreover, computer performance is climbing much faster than Internet performance.
dont really agree, the 6000be was effectivly an FX chip, thing is AMD dosnt got the king of the hill title they had back then, so nobodys really gonna pay FX or QX prices for an AMD chip, but they will buy a BE chip my 6000 isnt even a BE and it clocks great
My point is the name FX set a certain standard. The "BE" will never be an FX. I want a CPU thats worthy of the FX name.
your not gonna find it unless you can get AMD to sell you an unlocked opteron or something, because all the FX chips have ever been are binned unlocked chips, most times just opteron's with a different name and unlocked multi.
I don't get the logic. Only thing that made an FX chip an FX chip was a high, unlocked multiplier and a huge price tag, nothing more.
Well they need to do something. That i7 is bad ass. My logic is simple. As I'm a simple minded person. When the FX was first introduced nothing Intel had could touch it. Now we have the "Black Edition" that has yet to live up to the FX name. I'm old fashion and superstitious. When they finnaly come out with a CPU worthy of the FX name I hope we don't get another 4 door Charger. Now you get me? The AMD Chuck Norris. Unlocked multiplier of awesomeness.
You mean something that hands Core i7 or any of it's offspring it's ass? I don't see that happening anytime soon. If it does happen at some point, I surely wouldn't want to pay over $1000 bucks for it. The FX series just like the Intel EE series is nothing more than corporate greed and the ability to price their product at any price they want just because it has the highest performance available.

Vice President Biden told House Democrats who attended a White House meeting on gun control measures on Monday that the Obama administration intended to mobilize the grassroots operation left over from the 2012 presidential campaign to help push for the gun-related measures it would unveil Wednesday, according to Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, who participated in the meeting.
The New York Democrat suggested that President Obama should take a page from former President Bill Clinton and wage a national campaign to enlist public support for new gun control measures.
McCarthy didn't know the specifics of what the White House would unveil, or how far the President would go to press Congress to pass an assault weapons ban, saying it was up to the president how aggressive he would be to get proposals passed. "You've got to remember what the president wants and what we can get passed here, and what the Senate can pass are things that we're hoping can make a difference and save lives."
The House Democratic Task Force on Gun Violence, which McCarthy sits on, is scheduled to meet with the National Rifle Association next week.
Chris Cox will be representing the NRA at the meeting, McCarthy said, and told reporters that meeting follows a series of session, including outreach to pro-gun Democrats, and sportsmen groups. The House group, chaired by California Democrat Mike Thompson, will release its recommendations in early February and push for votes in Congress by the spring.
McCarthy expressed pessimism about the chances of getting an assault ban passed in Congress, telling reporters outside the House chamber, "We're not going to get an outright ban." But then later added "I think we should try for it absolutely" and pledged she was committed to enacting a full ban on assault weapons, arguing that public opinion had shifted in favor of one.
"If I see that even here [in Congress] and even the President will push for the assault weapons ban - again the polls are showing overwhelming support for it, but if we cant lift it to get it done than hopefully we'll go for the larger magazines."
Asked about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's comment suggesting there aren't the votes for an assault ban in the House, McCarthy stressed that the top Senate Democrat was only referring to the assault ban, and said, "I think he could pass a package -- without the ban, and I think he thinks that too, but let's play it out."
McCarthy said some House Republicans have told her privately that they are considering supporting some new gun restrictions. She declined to indentify which members of how many, but said she advised them to publicly announce their support for any new gun legislation separate from Democratic efforts. "Do your own press conference, come out as a group, there's power in numbers, and we [Democrats] should have nothing to do with that."
