For Father's Day, I sent my dad dried mango coated in li hing mui. My father-in-law received dried fish. When my college roommate came for a visit with her children over spring break, I greeted them at the airport with lei, of course, and a box of snacks--Mele Macs, Kauai Coffee and furikake popcorn. My friend Wendy gets Aunty Lilikoi's Passion Wasabi Dressing. My friend Pat, who lives on a sailboat on Oahu, gets a packet from Aloha Spice Company.
Omiyage. The practice of gift-giving is an art in Japan. Those roots sprouted easily in the welcoming soil of Hawaiian culture when Japanese immigrants arrived. I've learned not to go anywhere with empty hands. Thankfully, these Hawaiian Islands offer a never-ending supply of gifts unique to Hawaii.
But food isn't the only omiyage around. My latest favorite is soap.
Soap, you ask, are you serious?
What, I ask, isn't soap a sexy enough gift for you? You don't think it possesses that certain something to qualify for special omiyage status?
Well, let me introduce you to Indigenous Soap. Love Chance lives on Oahu and makes some pretty spectacular soap. And who can't use soap? We all turn to soap a multitude of times throughout our day. Think about it. Without soap, where would we be? Still don't believe me? Then, read my newest article, a profile of Indigenous Soap, owned and operated by Love Chance. (If anything, read it to find out if Love Chance--what a name, right?--is a real person.)
Here's my top 10 list of my favorite omiyage ideas from Kauai, in no particular order--and if Love Chance lived on Kauai, I would definitely add Indigenous Soap to the list. Luckily, though, I have co-worker from Oahu who gives me some when I visit.
1. Anahola granola. 2. Tip Top Cafe cookies. 3. Hanalei Tea. 4. Island Soap & Candle Works. 5. Kauai Kookie. 6. Kauai Coffee. 7. Aunty Liliokoi's dressings, mustards, butters, jellies and syrups. 8. Seasonings from Aloha Spice Company.9. Malie Organics.10. Engineer hat from a. ell design.
What would you add to the list--and feel free to think beyond Kauai.

Oracle revs up Sparc M6 chip for seriously big iron
The new Sparc M6 processor, unveiled at the Hot Chips conference at Stanford University this week, makes a bold statement about Oracle's intent to invest in very serious big iron and go after Big Blue in a big way. Oracle's move is something that the systems market desperately needs, particularly for customers where large main …
Clock speed?
Now I've seen it all. An article about a new processor chip and nowhere in it is the clock speed mentioned. So, if the chip speed isn't relevant, just the number of threads you can throw at a job, the new boxes built around this must be aimed at particular workloads. There's a limit to how much parallelisation you can do so it seems to me we're talking about crunching lots of data. In which case, how about the external interfaces? With this amount of CPU, 4 x 8Gb fibre ain't going to cut it. Anyone got any ideas as to just what kind of workload this is aimed at 'cos I'm struggling to imagine it.
Where's the "my mind has just been boggled by these numbers" icon?
Re: Clock speed?
I suspect 'big databases' is the answer to your question. Having 1TB of system memory at a few-hop delay speed from any of a large number of core is going to be useful for querying massive amounts of data.
Like all of our emails, for example...
Re: Clock speed?
I'm guessing clock speeds will come out after they've done some more testing - clock speed is really a function of how fast (and hot) you can drive the silicon without it making mistakes. While you could nominally drive the silicon at say 4GHz in perfect conditions, most likely you'll have a massive failure rate so you'd ramp speed down to 3.5GHz with a higher success rate, possibly with the successful 4GHz parts as your premium part.
The real issue for a platform like this is scalability; all those threads potentially battling over cross calls, cache flushes etc can really kill performance for some workloads. Still, there are probably workloads well suited to such a monster system.
Re: Clock speed?
This is an Oracle chip, one would assume that it's for Oracle workloads?
I "suspect" a few things;
It's been specifically designed with databases in mind, and specifically "in memory" (SGA style) databases, looking at the DDR pipelines and how bixby links processors it looks tuned for this very thing, it's not (specifically) a number cruncher - but allows "critical thread" which is like a hardware verison of cpu pinning (which is very useful for database and log writer processes).
It's socket compatible with the M5, allowing simple upgrades, this matches an old Sun idea whereby they brought out a tweaked version of the new chip generation.
For the same reasons it will have entry-level compatible clocks, with the tweaks being effeciency, usually between 50-100% (i.e. potentially doubling throughput).
Some redesigns will be required for faster clocks, possibly simple firmware upgrades, possibly more significant such as board revisions, like the ability to upgrade 880's to 890's
The internal tweaking is only half the story, a new chip which has all the tweaks and then some will be announced, possibly similar to the Fujitsu Sparc X+ (for a large virtulisation machine?)
Singin' dat song...
I got 96 sockets but an Intel ain't one?
256 socket Xeon
2k cores (4k threads) & 64TB memory to boot.
Not sure what would need that much but...it's been shipping for a while. Not likely going to be supported to run Oracle DB.
But for HPC type stuff...which seem to be the things that want large amounts of memory, other workloads seem to do very well with SSD instead of massive memory.
Re: 256 socket Xeon
The SGI server is a pure cluster used for parallel HPC work, just study the case studies.
The benchmarks are all parallel workloads, for instance SPECjbb2005 benchmark, it says "32 blades" in the picture. Those 32 blades are connected via a 7.5GB/sec NUMA link, which does not provide too much bandwidth, so it does not scale too well. I wonder how many hops there are worst case in this NUMA link? Latency could be quite bad, slowing everything down.
Here is another Linux cluster, the ScaleMP server. It too has 1000s of cores. And it use a single image Linux kernel. It uses a software hypervisor that tricks Linux kernel into believing it is running on a SMP server, not a HPC cluster:
I dont expect these Linux HPC clusters to run SMP workloads, like the Oracle server can do. Ive yet to find a 32 cpu Linux SMP server for sale, there are no Linux SMP servers for sale with 32 sockets. And has never been. But there are large 2048 core Linux clusters for sale, as these HPC servers show. But no 32 cpus.
Re: 256 socket Xeon
It's not a cluster, it's a single system image (SSI) server. i.e. it is running just one copy of the Linux kernel. Read the overview properly.
You also need to learn the difference between NUMA and SMP. You won't find anything anywhere that's SMP at 32 sockets, they are all ( various flavours of ) NUMA. Current SMP designs hit a brick wall at 8 sockets and the M6 is no exception, as this article clearly states.
Re: 256 socket Xeon
No 32-way SMP Linux Server? Maybe not from Intel or Oracle but here's your Server from IBM (and that's no new Server btw.)
Re: 256 socket Xeon
Not true for IBM's Power Architecture which has 32-way capable SMP POWER CPU's available since years.
Re: 256 socket Xeon
"...You also need to learn the difference between NUMA and SMP. You won't find anything anywhere that's SMP at 32 sockets, they are all ( various flavours of ) NUMA. Current SMP designs hit a brick wall at 8 sockets and the M6 is no exception, as this article clearly states...."
I agree that the Oracle T5 and M6 SMP servers are up to 8 sockets. I have never said anything else. The M6 server will glue several SMP servers via NUMA, yes.
But earlier SPARC servers was also SMP, for instance the Sun M9000 with 64 cpus. So, yes, I know the difference between SMP and NUMA, I am talking about it, am I not?
Re: 256 socket Xeon
"...No 32-way SMP Linux Server? Maybe not from Intel or Oracle but here's your Server from IBM (and that's no new Server btw.)..."
No, the IBM P795 is an AIX server. IBM or someone else, might have compiled Linux for it. But the P795 is an IBM AIX server. I doubt anyone of those huge extremely expensive P795 are using Linux. If you want Linux, you can get a cheap 8 socket server. No need to spend truckloads of money. Or you get a Linux cluster with 1000s of cores such as the SGI NUMA server.
There are no vendor designing and selling Linux 32 way SMP servers, there never has been such a big Linux server for sale. Compiling Linux to this huge 96 socket M6 server, does not make it a Linux server. No one sane would run Linux on it. It is designed to work with Solaris, which can handle the extreme scalability with almost 10.000 threads. Oracle sells Linux, but I doubt they will offer Linux on this huge M6 server.
HP compiled Linux for their... Superdome(?) or was it Integrity(?) server with 64 sockets and called it "Linux Big Tux". But Linux scaled awfully bad on 64 cpus. Later when HP started to offer Linux on that HP-UX server, it could only run Linux in a partition, and the largest Linux partition was... 16 cpus I think. Or was it 8 cpus? I dont get it. Sell a 64 socket server, and only offer a Linux partition with up to 16 cpus. If Linux could handle 64 cpus, it would have been offered. But probably larger partitions than 16 cpus would be too troublesome with too high a support cost. But still, the Superdome/Integirty is designed for HP-UX and is a HP-UX server. Linux on it, is an after thought and does not work well.
I wonder if the IBM P795 also runs Linux in partitions of up to 16 cpus, and no larger? Wouldn't surprise me.
BTW, the SGI Altix and SU servers are clusters. They are using NUMA. And NUMA is regarded as a cluster. NUMA is the same thing as Cluster. Read here if you dont believe me:
Re: 256 socket Xeon
"...But earlier SPARC servers was also SMP, for instance the Sun M9000 with 64 cpus. So, yes, I know the difference between SMP and NUMA, I am talking about it, am I not?..."
Yes you're talking about it, but no I'm afraid you don't know the difference between SMP and NUMA. Lets drill a bit deeper into your example, the M9000.
Actually, we can start with the diagram on page 22 of the M5000, and the following sentence that says:
"SPARC Enterprise M8000 and M9000 servers feature multiple system boards that connect to a common crossbar."
If you have a design where sockets on a system board only have access to limited local memory, and must traverse an interconnect, like a crossbar, to access memory on another system board, then that is a NUMA, or NUMA derived design. It's most certainly not SMP. An SMP design is where all CPUs have equal access to to all memory. The problem with that is it doesn't scale well, hence the reason why NUMA was invented.
Re: 256 socket Xeon
"I wonder if the IBM P795 also runs Linux in partitions of up to 16 cpus, and no larger? Wouldn't surprise me."
A look at the redbook ( http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp4640.pdf ) for the P795 says:
Scale to 256 cores/1024 threads - for the RedHat 6.3 and SLES 11 installations
Not sure what the RH 5.8 and SLES 10 go up to, they are only 2-way SMT capable , so that is going to cut down your threads by 2 for starters .
Re: 256 socket Xeon
"...But Linux scaled awfully bad on 64 cpus...."
That used to be the case several years ago, but is not the case today. That's old FUD.
"...BTW, the SGI Altix and SU servers are clusters. They are using NUMA. And NUMA is regarded as a cluster. NUMA is the same thing as Cluster. Read here if you dont believe me:..."
No it's not. When the author of that article says "One can view NUMA as a tightly coupled form of cluster computing" he's making an analogy. He's not saying the two are the same. In a cluster, each system runs its own instance of an operating system and can boot / shutdown separately to the others. That's the litmus test.
Re: 256 socket Xeon
I have never worked with IBM kit so had to quickly learn what this architecture looked like.
That's not SMP. Processors only have direct access to local memory and I/O within their own "Processor Book". The books are then linked together using an "SMP Fabric". SMP in this context is a creative marketing phrase. That design, if you ignore the proprietary language and marketing, looks just like NUMA.
You won't find 32 processor systems that are true SMP because true SMP doesn't scale to that many processors without hitting serious performance bottlenecks. Read the "basic concept" section in this wiki. It explains the problem NUMA was designed to solve very well.
Re: 256 socket Xeon
>>"...But Linux scaled awfully bad on 64 cpus...."
>"That used to be the case several years ago, but is not the case today. That's old FUD."
Well, it was true a few years ago that Linux scaled awfully bad on the 64 cpu HP Itanium Superdome (or was it Integrity). Linux had something like ~40% cpu utilization on the HP-UX "Big Tux" server in official benchmarks from HP. So it was not FUD back then, it was true. FUD is basically: a negative lie with the purpose to thrash talk a product. But the bad scaling of Linux never was a lie, it was a fact. And facts are not FUD. You seem to believe that negative critisicism is FUD, but it is not. If the critiscism is true, and negative - it is relevant for the discussion.
You claim that Linux bad scaling was not bad, it was in fact good, but nobody would call ~40% cpu utilization good. So why are you trying to make it look like Linux scaled well back in the days? Linux never did. Why are you FUDing about this? I would never make up things like you seem to do.
And you claim that Linux scales well today. That bad scaling was old FUD. Well, do you have any benchmarks on 32 or 64 cpu Linux servers, that proves Linux scales better today? No you have not. Because there are no 32 cpu Linux servers for sale. Sure, you can compile Linux to the HP server, or to the SPARC server (Linux compiles for SPARC), but those are HP-UX and Solaris servers. And I also suspect that Linux scaling would be way bad on those. Solaris is fine tuned to scale well on this 96-socket monster. Linux is not.
So, you claim that Linux scaled well back in the days, because the rumours of "bad scaling was FUD". But Linux did not scale well back in the days, according to official HP benchmarks. This was true, and it is still true today. Why do you lie about this?
You now also claim that Linux scales well today, how do you know this? On what do you base your wishful thinking? There are no 32 cpu Linux servers to benchmark, so no benchmark does exist. Are you lying about this, too?
Re: 256 socket Xeon
"....Yes you're talking about it, but no I'm afraid you don't know the difference between SMP and NUMA.

Yes, I do know all this. I was the one talking about NUMA and SMP, wasnt I? It seems you claim no 32 SMP servers do exist. If that is true, then maybe you accept that no Linux 32 cpu SMP servers exist. So again I am correct: there are no 32 cpu linux SMP servers.
The M9000 is not a true SMP, I know. But Sun worked hard to make it act like SMP. This manifests in that memory latency is quite bad on the M9000, but the latency is not that catastrophically bad. The latency is quite tight, with a small spread between best case and worst case. A true SMP server would have no difference, there would be no best case nor worst case latency. So, in effect the M9000 server is SMP.
If we look at a true NUMA system, such as the 8192 core Linux ScaleMP server with 64TB RAM. This server is a cluster running a single image of Linux. And like all clusters it has a very wide spread between best case and worst case latency:
"...I tried running a nicely parallel shared memory workload (75% efficiency on 24 cores in a 4 socket opteron box) on a 64 core ScaleMP box with 8 2-socket boards linked by infiniband. Result: horrible. It might look like a shared memory, but access to off-board bits has huge latency..."
So it does not really matter if a server is a mix of NUMA and SMP, if the latency is good (because the server is well designed). If a NUMA server had extremely good latency, it would for all intents and purposes act as a SMP server, and could be used for SMP workloads.
-The Sun M9000 has 500ns as worst case latency. And best case... maybe(?) 200ns or so. The M9000 did 2-3 hops in worst case, which is not that bad, you dont have to consider it as a problem when programming. In effect, it behaves as a SMP server.
-A typical Linux NUMA cluster has worst case... something like 10.000ns or even worse. The worst case numbers were really hilarious, and made you jump in your chair (was it even 70.000ns? I dont remember but it was really bad, the worst case numbers were representative for a typical cluster). In effect you can not program a NUMA cluster like it is SMP, you need to program differently. If you assume the data will be quickly accessed, and the data is far off in a Linux cluster, your program will grind to a halt. You need to allocate data to close nodes, just like cluster programming. And if you look at the use cases and all benchmarks on all Linux NUMA servers, they are all cluster HPC workloads. No one is used for SMP work.
This Oracle M6 server is an island of SMP servers, connected with NUMA connection. I am convinced Oracle is building on the decades of experience from the Sun server people, so the M6 server has very small difference between best and worst case latency. It will act like a SMP server, because databases are typical SMP workloads, and Oracle cares strongly about database servers. The Oracle M6 server will be heavily optimized to make sure you dont have to make more than 2-3 hops to access any memory cell in the entire 96TB RAM server - it acts like a SMP server fine for databases and other SMP workloads.
I suggest you study the RAM latency numbers for M9000 and for all Linux NUMA clusters. The differences are huge. 500ns worst case, vs 10.000s ns or was it 20.000ns?? One can be programmed like a SMP server, the other needs to be programmed as a cluster.
So, you are wrong again.
Bandwidth != LAtency
"to get around the obvious delays from hopping, Oracle has over-provisioned the Bixby switches so they have lots of bandwidth."
That's like saying that because cars can only go at 70mph the government has built eight lane motorways, The number of lanes in the motorway doesn't alter the time it takes you to get to your destination.
Similarly Increasing bandwidth doesn't improve latency (at least not once you have enough bandwidth, so don't have traffic jams caused by capacity limits in the motorway analogy).
As the old saying has it "Bandwidth is easy (just add more pins), but latency is hard".
Re: Bandwidth != LAtency
Keeping the number of hops low helps to maintain the low latency. If you look at the picture carefully you will find that all CPUs can connect to others directly (7 cores), via single BX (12 cores) or a BX and a CPU (i.e. single hop, remaining 12 cores). This all with 4Tb/s bandwidth to maintain cache coherency across sockets - I think that's some really nice engineering.
Well of course how it performs in practice ... I'd like to learn it too :) Over beer, if not using it in person :)
Re: Bandwidth != LAtency
I wonder if the compiler / kernel will be able to attempt to 'intelligently' allocate or shift threads to cores where the other threads that need to 'talk' to the first one are a small number of hops away.
i.e. thread A keeps shoving stuff at thread B, so move A to a core one hop from B.
Whilst very complicated, I wonder if it would be worth the effort.
Re: Bandwidth != LAtency
"...I wonder if the compiler / kernel will be able to attempt to 'intelligently' allocate or shift threads to cores where the other threads that need to 'talk' to the first one are a small number of hops away...."
I suspect it is not really necessary. On a NUMA cluster you must design your program like that, because worst case latency might be 10.000 ns or more. But on this M6 server, the worst case is only 2-3 hops away, which makes for a good latency. So, you just program this server as a true SMP server, just like normal programming, just copy your binaries to this server and off you go. You dont need to recompile and redesign to make sure your data is in close nodes. No need for this server. Just treat it like a true SMP server, because of the good design.
But on the other hand, if you want to port your Linux applications to a NUMA cluster such as SGI Altix servers, you must redesign the programs, and rewrite them. Otherwise performance will grind to halt, if you do not make sure that the data is located in close nodes. In worst case, it is almost like accessing a hard disk, because the nodes are so far away before you access the memory you need. So these Linux NUMA clusters are directed to HPC parallel workloads, just check the use cases and the benchmarks. They are all HPC cluster stuff. No SMP stuff.
sales drones on here aside
The tech specs are impressive and everything but when is SPARC going to actually make money? As far as I can tell Oracle is now a few billion in the hole due to trying to make a go of it with SPARC. Larry can only squeeze the existing customer base so hard before it starts to decline. As Trevor says Oracle doesn't have customers, it has hostages.
Re: sales drones on here aside
I explained this three years ago, and write it again. Sun had 30.000 customers. Oracle has 340.000 customers. Enterprise customers. If Oracle can make a small fraction of them switch to SPARC and Solaris, then SPARC will be more wide spread than ever under Sun.
And Oracle is working hard to make Oracle Database run best on Solaris. The TPC-C world record for a single system is 8.3 million tmpc on a 8-socket SPARC T5 server. That is only on 8 sockets. Imagine running the Oracle database on this M6 monster, biggest and baddest on the market. With 96TB RAM and compressed RAM, it will give extreme performance. And Oracle will fine tune it to run databases.
Solaris had recently a tuning so it decreases latency of the Oracle DB with 17%. Oracle controls everything, hardware and the OS and Java and the Database, the entire stack, so Oracle can fine tune the entire system to run databases faster than anyone else. Certainly faster than Linux on 8-socket servers. And this control will continue to show in even better database performance. Oracle has only started.
No, I am not affiliated in any way with Oracle. I just happen to like good tech, I am a tech geek. If IBM had better tech, I would like that too. I liked the POWER7 ealier, it was really good back in the days.
Re: sales drones on here aside
> If Oracle can make a small fraction of them switch to SPARC and Solaris, then SPARC will be more wide spread than ever under Sun.
Wow somebody doesn't understand the market worth a damn. The total market for proprietary UNIX boxes is less today than SUNs SPARC sales in the late dot com era by a significant amount. The whole segment is disappearing and nobody faster than SPARC. The tech is neat but businesses are a lot more into outsourcing to the cloud and commodity x86 servers in data centers these days. HPC might be the only market this segment will have in two years. IBM will keep making chips due to game console sales helping them with volume but I don't see anybody else (tradition UNIX non x86 market) being in the game in the three years unless the market suddenly changes.
Re: sales drones on here aside
"...Wow somebody doesn't understand the market worth a damn. The total market for proprietary UNIX boxes is less today than SUNs SPARC sales in the late dot com era by a significant amount...."
I agree on Unix is diminishing. But i distinguish between Unix servers (where Linux is getting in, however only for low end servers because there exist no high end Linux servers for sale), and database servers. Oracle is starting to create extremely fast database servers, that happen to run Solaris and SPARC. And all Oracle Enterprise customers running huge Oracle databases, will be very interested in the fast Oracle database servers. They might not be interested in SPARC, but they are interested in the database servers (which happens to use SPARC and Solaris). So, if a tiny fraction of all database customers wants to get better database servers, they must switch to the database servers from Oracle (using SPARC and Solaris).
re: Wow somebody doesn't understand the market worth a damn.
I don't mind calling someone out, but you gotta know what you're talking about when you do it.
No one is using Power/Cell in their new game consoles. That will not keep IBM making chips. What will keep IBM making chips is the Billions of dollars they get from large corporations and governments that still rely on RISC/Unix. Not just from the initial sell, but from the add on services and solutions.
Though I disagree with TPM on his comment about week cores, he seems to get it in relation to high end systems. The industry is consolidating. HP has given up at the high end. Oracle, IBM and Fujitsu are the only ones that seem to care about high-end computing. As long as there is demand (which there still is - the bleeding is leveling out) then IBM/Oracle/Fujitsu will still make money. Personally, I don't see Fujitsu doing SPARC in 10 years, but who knows? I'm not talking HPC here. There's very little profits there -- just ask SGI. HPC is about advertising, not profits.
Re: re: Wow somebody doesn't understand the market worth a damn.

Wii U CPU - Tri-Core IBM PowerPC "Espresso"
Granted its not selling worth a damn but the volume of consoles has done a lot to help IBM justify making chips. In the future we will see.
I understand HPC is not where the profits are but they are one use I see not disappearing any time soon. Deny all you want but sales of non x86 proprietary Unix boxes are dying on their ass.
Re: re: Wow somebody doesn't understand the market worth a damn.
(or perhaps I should've followed suite and titled "Wow somebody doesn't understand large enterprises"
"Deny all you want but sales of non x86 proprietary Unix boxes are dying on their ass."
Deny it all you want but despite declining sales for low/mid range non-x86 boxen, the market for the large high-end ones is not going anywhere. The demand is likely to remain if not even increase (and not just for the TLA organisations). It would not be unlikely at all that these kind of beasts would be in the shopping list for Fortune 100.
Re: re: Wow somebody doesn't understand the market worth a damn.
"Wii U CPU - Tri-Core IBM PowerPC "Espresso""
Thanks for that. I was not aware of what chip Nintendo was using. Well, Nintendo has never seemed to care as much about pure performance in the past, so if they got a good deal from IBM, I guess it makes sense. Sony and Microsoft went the obvious route, both abandoning Power.
I still don't see this relatively small (money-wise) portion of the market helping IBM. IBM is pushing hard to get others to use or even copy their chips. I think it is more to expand the use of Power versus trying to make money directly. Oracle (Sun) has been doing that for years with varying levels of success. Fujitsu is the most recent example to use the SPARC chips for their systems. From sparc.org there are some more examples.
"Deny all you want but sales of non x86 proprietary Unix boxes are dying on their ass."
Not denying, just a long time observer of the market. RISC was dying 10 years ago, but then the market for all chips exploded, taking RISC with it. Unix/RISC are still much more trusted than Linux/Intel.
Also, I know you probably understand the difference, but x86 is proprietary -- AMD had to reverse engineer it. SPARC and Power are actually open -- one of them more open than the other. Which is why we see Fujitsu working so closely with Oracle on SPARC. So your comment about "proprietary Unix boxes" is misguided at best. x86 is a Proprietary "industry standard", and not an Open standard by any accounts. That said, there is a chip that is nipping at the heels of x86 and is really giving Intel heartburn on the low end... that chip is ARM -- and it's RISC! So to say one platform has won is premature. This show is just getting interesting.

"The bullion server developed by Bull has been ranked as the world's fastest X86 enterprise-class server, according to the international SPECint®_rate2006[1] benchmark. The benchmark – which was run on a 'fat', 16-socket configuration – highlights bullion's exceptional characteristics, which make it almost twice as powerful as all its rivals. Featuring 160 Intel® Xeon® E7 cores and 4 Terabytes of RAM, the bullion server achieved peak performance of 4,110 according to the SPECint®2006 benchmark.

Jason Russell, Kony 2012 Video Creator, Arrested For Drunken Masturbating in Publicby Free Britney at . Comments
Jason Russell, the man behind the now-famous Kony 2012 video, was arrested in San Diego today for masturbating and being drunk in public apparently.
Russell was taken into custody by San Diego cops, according to reports.
In addition to allegedly masturbating, officials say that the Kony 2012 creator vandalized cars. Must have been some kind of epic bender he was on.
More details to follow as the story develops ...
UPDATE: Video has surfaced of Jason Russell in the midst of his naked meltdown in San Diego, pounding his fists in anger and screaming maniacally.
Witnesses say he was running around naked and making sexual gestures.
Jason is under a 5150 psychiatric hold, so authorities can decide if he poses a danger to himself or others. A rep says Russell was suffering from exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition as a result of a strenuous PR campaign."He is now receiving medical care and is focused on getting better," says the rep. "The past two weeks have taken a severe emotional toll on all of us, Jason especially, and that toll manifested itself in an unfortunate incident yesterday.
"Jason's passion and his work have done so much to help so many, and we are devastated to see him dealing with this personal health issue."
"We will always love and continue to support Jason, and we ask that you give his entire family privacy during this difficult time."
I Have been BOTH exhausted and dehydrated and I hate to tell his wife- but I did not run naked into the streets ranting and raving and doing vulger things! I am pretty sure he was under the influence of drugs and this is something she is gonna have look into. Maybe he is taking something, she just does not know about it. He needs help that's for sure.
This is what happens when a silly clueless white guy goes messing around with something he doesn't understand. That "something" is called African magic. A very powerful spell was cast on him. It's the real deal and is beyond the comprehension of the average dummy who thinks that he can overthrow someone via the internet. African magic is orders of magnitude more potent than any of that Caucasian dilly dally Wicca Witchcraft stuff and as we move into a new Great Year Cycle, it will only get stronger. Word to the wise .... leave the Black Man alone.

Facebook wants to poke politicians 'who share our goals'
Facebook is looking to get a firmer grip on Washington by bankrolling its own Polticical Action Committee, which will back politicians it wants to be friends with. Facebook told political blog The Hill that the committee "will give our employees a way to make their voice heard in the political process by supporting candidates …
"the value of innovation to our economy"
More ways to keep computer users from doing actual work may be an innovation, but there's a negation missing in the above sentence.
"Political Action Committees are a peculiarity of the US political system..."
Not at all...
Every government is targeted by various "outside committees" of one kind or another.
It just depends on where you draw the line between "Political Action Committee" and "Corrupt Organisation with Improper Government Influence."
For the US, PACs are both a blessing and a curse:
-- -- They're a blessing because they allow companies to engage in legislative dialogue in an effort to protect themselves from job-killing over-regulation and government red tape.
-- -- They're a curse because they allow companies to engage in legislative dialogue in an effort to free themselves from appropriate regulation and proper oversight.
At least the American's get to see it all in the open and can make a judgment knowing that, rather than it being kept a dirty secret like over here.
As an American
I find Political Action Committee's nausiating. For example, the PAC run by the financial industry either heavily influenced or supplied verbage to a lot of legislation that our moron government has passed into law.
The fact that FaceBook wants to Borg us into their way of thinking makes me want to drop off the grid entirely, although, my wife, being a rather ardent FB user, may have a slight problem with that.
I could rant on and on about the evils of PAC's, but I'll stop there.
Meet their new Lobbyist
"politicians 'who share our goals'"
What an utterly fucking ugly and grotesque concept.
I think I've threw up in my mouthparts a little.
@ Craggy & AC 08:07
Now you know how a lot of us feel, over here. It'd actually be quite humorous if it weren't so contemptious and nausiating.
why dont they just give the office to the highest bidder?
Why don't the skeptics just admit the election goes to the candidate with the most money and hold an auction instead.
The bids could be used to reduce the deficit. They wouldn't ha ve to watch all those an.lying advert, and, they wouldn't need to feel guilty about not voting for people they did not like if respect.

CSIRO unveils new bushfire software and knowledge base
With Australia already embroiled in the earliest-starting fire season in memory, it's pertinent that the CSIRO is working on improving our ability to model and predict bushfire behaviour. This week, the science agency presented a new tool at its Bushfire Behaviour Symposium in Canberra: Amicus, a decision support tool designed …
well done CSIRO
good to see them leaving models open to updates from reality. There is a huge amount of historical data on bush fire behaviour in rural fire brigades that goes back decades. I remember them being ignored a decade ago before major fires around Oz crapital city. After that event, the bureaucrats immediately implemented an improvement program that caused the bush fire brigades to resign in protest. Paper pusher always know best.
Re: well done CSIRO
It was the NSW RFS who decided to let the fires burn towards Canberra in 2003.
And I strongly resent your slur on the beautiful city where I live. Perhaps you are jealous of our wonderful amenities, high employment rate, low crime, top quality schools, and open green spaces. Also, the strength of community spirit shown in the wake of the 2003 fires was amazing. So don't you dare call my home crap.
p.s. yes, well done CSIRO for this new work.
Re: well done CSIRO
I suggest you read the McLeod report. The RFS started putting a containment line around the fires in their area a week before the 18th. They came in for a bit of stick later on the grounds that they weren't able to complete them in the direction of Wee Jasper before it broke out. If you look at the maps in the McLeod report, you'll see the containment lines.
The "shit country" comment describes accessibility and value. If you can't readily access a fire, you start building containment lines by back-burning from well defined containment lines.
How do I know this? I was one of the people doing the backburning.
Re: well done CSIRO
@Martin I lived there for some time. Happy to leave. Infested with developers and social engineers making life expensive for Joe and Joan Public so they can increase profit or create some greenie wet dream distopia.
City used to e OK. Now it is just another concrete canyon clone just like all the others in Oz, except Hobart. And the suburbs. Even the cockroaches are round shouldered. Anyone would think Oz is a tiny island, not a mostly empty continent. Unemployment might be low, but as town is full of temps of course unemployment is low when they leave. Low crime ? Just low reporting. Only place I have seen little kids holding the drugs for mums boyfriend while he deals in main streets. The major crimes are protected as it gets approved by due process across the creek in big house on hill. Community spirit ? Probably less than most places I have lived in. Try Darwin or the Alice for community spirit. Or any small place in middle of no-where. Only education mill in ACT I have not heard horror stories about is ANU which has a good reputation. No doubt some process obsessed clerk is busy rectifying that from what the staff tell me.
Open green spaces ? Oh, the proposed building sites for yet another row of empty coffee and retail shops so no-one can get to lake. Nope, crapital remains a small inward looking city with navel gazing intellectuals babbling at each other, much as I wish it were otherwise.
As for the firies, no criticism was offered. They did their best in difficult conditions. Then copped flack for not being omniscient, followed by lectures from clerks producing more rules and procedures, none of which were relevant or helpful. In a sane world, one would ask why large pine plantations were growing to edge of suburbs. Note to self. Bit more work, more caps and nearly halfway to a flame. What happened to FOTW BTW ?
35% error rate is pretty good
Since the algorithms are said to be well-known and come in the form of circular slide rules, I expect that they're the McArthur models. They're extremely hard to use with any precision since the equation forms have exponentials all over the place. A little variation in temperature or wind speed, and the spread rate goes off the clock. So I'm impressed by the claim of a 35% error rate.

2000 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Robert L. Chatburn RRT FAARC, Marcy Freed, MSP University Hospitals of Cleveland, OH
INTRODUCTION: Severe dysphagia (swallow disorder) leads to medical complications such as aspiration pneumonia, bronchospasm, dehydration, malnutrition, and asphyxia. These can cause death or increased health care costs from prolonged length of stay, readmission's, increased respiratory support, tracheotomies, and percutaneous enterostomal gastric (PEG) tube placement for feeding. There is a high failure rate with conventional treatments. We describe a new treatment using electrical stimulation (ES) to help retrain swallow muscles. The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of improvement in swallow function using this technique in children who failed conventional treatment.
Methods: A convenience sample was selected from referrals to our hospital for dysphagia treatment. All patients had failed previous conventional treatment, which included thermal stimulation to the oropharynx and a variety of standard interventions. The initial swallowing disorder was assessed by a modified barium swallow (MBS) procedure using various consistencies of food. Invasive dilation of the esophagus was performed if indicated. A swallow score was assigned by a speech pathologist based on the MBS results (0 = could not swallow saliva; 6 = normal swallow for all foods). Failure to swallow was confirmed by a radiologist blinded to the treatment protocol. ES was administered by a speech therapist using a modified battery powered electrical stimulator (Rehabilicare Inc.). Neuromuscular electrical stimulation consisted of a rectangular AC current waveform, frequency = 80 Hz, pulse width = 300 microseconds. Current intensity was set to the patient's tolerance level. ES duration was one hour per treatment. MBS and swallow scoring were repeated when the patient showed signs of clinical improvement. The change in swallow score was evaluated with a Wilcoxon signed rank test. Informed consent was obtained.
Results: Thirty children were treated; median age was 3 years (range 0.5 -18); 57% females. Diagnoses: 40% neuromuscular, 30% cerebral palsy, 30% CHARGE syndrome. Swallow scores improved significantly after treatment (p < 0.0001). Normal swallow function was achieved by 73% of patients. The median number of treatments was 11 (range 3- 16). The median duration of treatment was 14 days (range 3-42). Data below are mean ± SD.
CONCLUSION: Treatment of dysphagia with electrical stimulation and esophageal dilation (as needed) results in significant improvement in swallow function. This treatment appears to offer better results than conventional therapy. (See Original for Figure)

I'll bet that you, like me, wondered what a "window tax" is.
The tax was introduced in England and Wales under the Act of Making Good the Deficiency of the Clipped Money in 1696 under King William III[1] and was designed to impose tax relative to the prosperity of the taxpayer, but without the controversy that then surrounded the idea of income tax. At that time, many people in Britain opposed income tax, on principle, because they believed that the disclosure of personal income represented an unacceptable governmental intrusion into private matters, and a potential threat to personal liberty.

The 13th annual Bayville Waterside Festival was held at Ransom Beach in Bayville on Sept. 14 and 15, giving residents a reason to get outdoors and enjoy the last official weekend of summer. Though the weather was on the cooler side, particularly on Saturday, people from all around Bayville and surrounding communities came out to enjoy local food, vendors, music and games for the kids, with the glorious beach view as a backdrop to the fair.
"The weather was beautiful, the music was great and the food was wonderful," said Vincent Moscato, president of the Bayville Chamber of Commerce.
Hosted by the Bayville Chamber of Commerce for the sixth year, the annual fair known as the "Clam Jam" attracts vendors from around the North Shore, including the North Oyster Bay Baymen's Association who proudly sell clams and oysters and Gooseberry Grove's offering of sweet treats. The event used to be organized by the village before the Chamber of Commerce took over. This year, more than 70 vendors were involved.
One couple from Syosset was enjoying the day with their grandson, noting that it was their first time at the festival, and that it had been awhile since they had gotten to Bayville.
The weekend's activities and attractions included a petting zoo, music by local classic rockers 6Gun5, and a 50/50 raffle.
Chamber member Mike Carrozza, of Bayville Wines, said the event was very well-attended.
"It was one of the more successful events in recent years," he said.
The money made by the chamber is used to provide scholarships to Locust Valley High School students and for the annual Breakfast with Santa event held in the winter.
"All the money that comes in goes back into the community," said Carrozza.
Moscato said he was very pleased with the turnout.
"We're looking forward to doing it again next year," he said.

A glider launch was being conducted, using a vehicle tow and a mechanical advantage/pulley arrangement. During the launch, the tow rope became snagged on vegetation (alfalfa crop stuble), then slack developed in the tow rope as the rope came loose from the stuble. When slack was taken up, it 'jerked' the glider, which pitched up. The pilot released the tow rope, but the glider settled (stall) and rolled approximately 25 degrees left wing down. The wing contacted the ground, and the glider spun around and came to rest facing backwards. This resulted in substantial damage to the wings and fuselage.

AP Television Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- The most striking thing about the broadcast TV networks announcing their new fall schedules this past week was how little that actually meant.
Television schedules seem more like sketches these days. Even the networks admit their prime-time plans for September will be different by January, even more so a few months later. That's not even taking into account the inevitable failures among the 56 new series ordered into production by ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and the CW.
Broadcasters are more frequently embracing the cable TV idea of limited run series, of taking favorites off the air for a time instead of showing reruns, and of not treating summer as an afterthought.
"We're not constrained by the traditional broadcast schedule anymore," Kevin Reilly, Fox entertainment chairman, proclaimed in a presentation to advertisers.
Television has typically started its new season in late September, a calendar that was set to coincide with the time auto manufacturers rolled out a shiny new line of cars, and wanted something shiny and new on TV to advertise them on. That's the time most new shows appeared, offering a feast for fans and, lately, for digital video recorders.
Not quite half of the new shows -- 27 of them -- will be on the schedules when a new season starts this September. There are scheduled premiere dates, mostly in mid-winter, for many of the rest. Others have only a vague promise that they will appear, sometime, somewhere. Rebuilding NBC ordered 17 new shows, but only six will be on opening week.
Even established programs are left in limbo. NBC's cult favorite "Community" was renewed, with no hint of when it will be on. Same thing for CBS' comedy "Mike & Molly," even with a 22-episode order. The CW will wrap up its "Nikita" series with six episodes, but no one knows when.
Fox's Reilly unveiled a fall schedule, a late fall schedule and a winter schedule, with chips moving all around. It's about as complicated as a pro football playbook.
Fox has also resurrected the idea of miniseries, which will begin next year with a short-run return of Keifer Sutherland and "24," and continuing with producer M. Night Shyamalan's "Wayward Pines."
The idea is to attract top talent that might not otherwise want to commit to a long season slog. Matt Dillon has already signed on for "Wayward Pines." The approach has worked for cable networks, where "seasons" are generally shorter and creators don't have to worry about their shows being abruptly canceled.
The limited run concept is also increasingly being applied to regular series. Fans are impatient with series that are interrupted by repeats during the season, so executives are looking at ways to run consecutive original episodes, then putting another series in the time slot for a few months when the original show takes a break. ABC programming chief Paul Lee said his network is considering doing that with several shows next season, although it's still not clear which ones.
CBS, the traditionalists' network, said there's a risk to this strategy.
"Most of the nights of the week, people want to see their (favorite) shows, and we're going to give them to them," said Kelly Kahl, CBS chief scheduling executive.
Even CBS has scheduled its new serial mystery "Hostages," to have a season finale in January, to be replaced by a new drama, "Intelligence."
ABC's Lee is a big proponent of debuting series at times other than September so they don't get lost in the crowd (even though the eight series ABC is bringing on this September is more than any network). Viewers expect new series to pop up any time of the year on cable networks, and Reilly said broadcasters should do the same.
"I'd like to strike the word 'midseason' from our lexicon, frankly, because it makes it seem like there are only two times of the year when you can launch shows," he said.
The networks have learned, through brutal experience, that viewers punish them for summer schedules clogged with reruns. They've gradually shifted the summer balance to fresh shows -- primarily reality -- but more scripted shows will be there, too. Fox's "24" starts next May, followed immediately by "Wayward Pines." CBS' high-profile Stephen King series, "Under the Dome," starts June 24.
For all the talk of breaking traditions, of broadcast networks losing relevance in a digital age, the annual week of schedule presentations offered a firm rebuttal. A media sector that is dying doesn't invest in 56 new programs, each with scripts to be written, production budgets to be kept and actors to be hired.

Creating a strategic plan
Helping growing businesses grow faster.
Few clients have a well developed strategy process. Most are good at day-to-day management; reacting to opportunities and problems as they arise.
This can mean they fail to grow as intended, fail to reach longer term objectives, and can find themselves overtaken by changes in the market.
Our team will help you create and implement a mid-term strategy that defines your future market position. Clear strategy makes it easier to plan and implement changes that deliver competitive advantage. From this, growth and profit can flow.
The process normally involves:
- Creating a draft strategy
- Initial implementation, which tests its realism
- Refinement of the strategy (as an ongoing process)
- Internal development, including areas such as; process and technology, leadership and governance or product and innovation
- External development to address areas such as; mergers and acquisitions, new market entry, joint ventures or sales and marketing
This sort of strategy implementation will make your business more attractive to third party investors, whether you wish to raise capital for growth or exit.

Smock Alley Theatre, Exchange Street Lower, Temple Bar, Dublin 8, Ireland
Smock Alley was the first Theatre Royal built in Dublin. John Ogilby opened it in 1662 as part of the Restoration of the British monarchy and King Charles II in 1660, along with the London's Drury Lane (1662) and the Lincoln's Inn Fields (1661). It was the first custom-built theatre in the city and still remains in substantially the same form, making it one of the most important sites in European theatre history. Smock Alley was the first theatre outside London to receive the title of Theatre Royal, but because it had been built on land reclaimed from the Liffey, the building was unstable and the gallery collapsed twice, being rebuilt in 1735.
In the mid-1740s, Thomas Sheridan took on the role of manager of Smock Alley and made many improvements to it. While it was in operation as a theatre, it gave the world the plays of George Farquhar, Oliver Goldsmith, and Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and the brilliant performances of Peg Woffington, Thomas Sheridan, Spranger Barry, and Charles Macklin. It was on this stage that David Garrick, the greatest actor of the 18th century, first played Hamlet.
The theatre closed in 1787. The building was then used as a whiskey store until Fr. Michael Blake bought it to set a church that would work between 1811 and 1815. When the bell tolled in 1811, 18 years before the Catholic Emancipation, the first Catholic bell to ring in Dublin in nearly 300 years was heard. The facade boasts ornate stained glass windows and the original ceiling plasterwork remain in the Smock Alley as a witness of this time.
In 1989, the church was deconsecrated due to falling numbers of parishioners. It was then redeveloped into the 'Viking Adventure,' as part of the Temple Bar rejuvenation scheme, closing down in 2002. After a six-year renovation, Smock Alley Theatre reopened its doors as Dublin's oldest newest theatre in May 2012. Besides recovering its old purpose, Smock Alley is also the new home of The Gaiety School of Acting – The National Theatre School of Ireland.
For more than a century, Smock Alley put Irish theatre on the European map, acting as the very core of an Ireland striving to find its own voice. If we are to ask historically what makes theatre such an important part of culture today, we would need to go back more than two centuries before the founding of The Abbey Theatre, to the Smock Alley Theatre of the 17th century.

Jets Insider.com Sunday Morning Training Camp Report
By Justin Paley
Jets Insider.com Staff Writer
July 31st, 2005
Knorr and Graham had a chance to show off their legs this morning during a brief special teams-only practice. While there are plenty of battles for starting spots in Jets training camp this year, one of the more intriguing ones is on special teams at punter between Micah Knorr and 31-year old rookie Ben Graham.
Knorr and Graham had a chance to show off their legs this morning during a brief special teams-only practice.
Neither appeared to outshine the other as special teams coach Mike Westhoff had the players practice punting from their own end zone to RB Delvin Joyce, WR Justin McCareins, WR Jonathan Carter, and CB Justin Miller, who practiced fielding the punts at the 40-yard line.
Knorr had good hang time on his punts while Grahams punts were about five yards longer.
Both also practiced kicking from the 50 yard line. None of Grahams punts went into the end zone as he was able to land them inside the 10 with fourth-round draft pick Kerry Rhodes, WR Chas Gessner, and Joyce downing them.
Special teams coach Mike Westhoff talked about what he is looking for in a punter. Im trying to find the strong guy, Westhoff said. This place (The Meadowlands) is not easy to punt. You have to fight through the wind.
Taking a closer look at the competition, Knorr is the veteran in his sixth season in the NFL and first with the Jets. Knorr is smaller at 62 and 208 pounds but has the experience of playing in the NFL. Knorr has spent the last two and a half seasons with the Broncos and last year averaged 41.5 yards per punt in 12 games.
Graham meanwhile comes to the Jets after spending the previous 12 years playing in the Australian Football League (AFL). Graham is big for a punter at 65 and 230 and has a powerful left leg. Graham, who once kicked a ball 95 yards in an AFL game, has had to adjust to kicking a new ball. In Australia, the ball is different leather and designed for kicking. In the NFL, the ball is designed for throwing.
Graham talked about the adjustment to the NFL. Its gone pretty well, Graham said. Its been a long journey. Ive been here since March. Yesterday I felt I punted good; today, not so good. I know what its about when it comes to pressure.
He starred in the Australian Rules Football League, playing in 219 games during his career. That is remarkable considering about one percent of players in the AFL reach the 200 game milestone. Graham said his career went the way he liked and he was very proud of his career although it was a tough decision for him to announce his retirement at 30.
In 1997, New England defensive coordinator Eric Mangini, who was an assistant with the Jets at the time, scouted Graham but he decided to stay in the AFL.
Westhoff said he was not afraid to take a chance on Graham but talked about Graham needs to do to make the team. Can he execute technique when he has to do it, Westhoff said. He can hit quite a ball Hes athletic enough and its worth giving him a chance.
Graham has also worked on holding the ball on field goals and Westhoff was asked if the teams punter also had to be the holder. Not necessarily, Westhoff said. Quarterbacks can do it Its ideal though for the punter to be the holder.
The team also spent a large majority of the practice focusing on kickoffs. Westhoff only had the players go at full speed against each other a few times as he spent time focusing on the rules and situations. Its very different for some of them, Westhoff said. The rules are totally different.
Second-round draft pick Mike Nugent showed a strong leg routinely kicking the ball from the 30 to the end zone.
Hes good, Westhoff said of Nugent. Hes a great kid and the stuff he did today was pretty impressive. Hes athletic and reminds me of Olindo Mare.
Westhoff had the players on the kickoff team run down field with the kick to work on their timing as the players on the return team stood still.
When the kickoff was run at full speed, WR Jonathan Carter was able to streak down the left sideline behind the blocking of RB Derrick Blaylock. Hes such a good special teams player, Westhoff said of Blaylock. Players better watch out because if they dont, hell knock their heads off.
RB Delvin Joyce did not help his chances by tripping during his return.
Westhoff also had practiced onside kicks as WR Jerricho Cotchery on the kickoff team recovering one. However, there was no movement from the return team.
-CB Justin Miller did not get a chance to return a kickoff or punt this morning but the Jets second-round draft pick has impressed Westhoff. He has a good burst, Westhoff said. Hes a talented return guy and his decisions and handling have to be improved. But he has good explosion and I like him as our kick returner.
-The best opportunity for young players to make the team is on special teams and both fourth-round draft pick Kerry Rhodes and fifth-round draft pick Andre Maddox impressed Westhoff this morning. Rhodes downed a punt inside the 10-yard line while Maddox showed nice hands on the return team during an onsides kick drills.
-The Jets take great pride in being one of the least penalized teams in the NFL. Westhoff said that last year, one in seven kicks resulted in a penalty for NFL teams. For the Jets, only one in 44 kicks resulted in a penalty.
It did not appear that anyone was injured after this mornings practice. Through the first two and a half days of training camp, there have been no reported injuries.
The Jets return to the fields this afternoon for a full team practice at 3:30 p.m. After the practice, head coach Herman Edwards will address the media. Check back to Jets Insider.com often for all the latest news.

A law unto themselves - the game shooting industry under the spotlight (part 3)
Disassociating itself from the dirty work
As with the 'most wanted pests' list published by Shooting Times, representatives of the bloodsports fraternity are always anxious to disassociate themselves publicly from indiscriminate wildlife slaughter, yet it is the industry that employs the gamekeepers who do the dirty work. The examples of wildlife crime given above are not isolated or extreme incidents. Shortly before Christmas 2005, Britain's only known breeding female eagle owl was shot with heavy gauge pellets favoured by gamekeepers. In June 2006, a golden eagle was found poisoned in Scotland with Carbofuran, an illegal pesticide.24 Who, other than gamekeepers for shooting estates, would have the motive to poison such birds of prey? A long list of successful gamekeeper prosecutions is testament to their likely involvement.25 The RSPB are on record as stating that gamekeepers are normally responsible for such incidents.26 The problem has become sufficiently urgent for other industry spokespeople - in the face of mounting concern from conservationists - to acknowledge the problem, and for a code of practice to be created.
'Big commercial shoots' according to a Daily Telegraph report, 'are to be invited by their own organisations to submit themselves to an annual inspection to prove they have high safety standards and enhance wildlife habitats. The new independently assessed code of practice is intended to raise standards and cut down on criticised practices,such as overstocking with pheasants which eat wild flowers and damage woodland habitat.'27 The new Code of Practice has been announced in the form of the Shoot Assurance Scheme, which is sponsored by all the main industry players. It is designed to give an impression of control and enforcement. The reality is that this voluntary and costly scheme has been received with cynicism by some in the shoot industry, who argue that it will fail to deliver at extra cost and bureaucracy to shoots.28
Codes of practice
The new package of 'rules' follow on from the Code of Good Shooting Practice, the Code of Good Rearing Practice and Respect for Quarry. All are toothless.
For example, the Code of Good Rearing Practice is the work of the Game Farmers' Association (GFA). During deliberations on the new Animal Welfare Bill in 2005, the government acknowledged that game birds were without proper welfare protection during captivity. It decided that, in future, welfare standards should be based upon the GFA's Rearing Code. One member of the GFA executive committee is Ray Holden, owner of Hy-Fly game hatcheries in Fylde, Lancashire. In 2001, Holden claimed Hy-Fly was the biggest game producer in Britain, producing two million birds every year - about 5 per cent of the national total. He subsequently claimed to be able to produce 1.452 million game bird eggs a week.29
Holden has two criminal convictions for animal abuse and cruelty.30 In 2000, he was fined £2,000 for using a live mallard as a decoy in a fox trap. He was also fined £500 plus £500 costs for maiming a jackdaw, whom he used as a decoy in a cage trap. He actually maimed ten jackdaws, one for each of ten traps, but was summoned only for the first offence. Holden was found not guilty of killing a moorhen, keeping a mallard in a cage in which he could not stretch his wings, and using a funnel trap to catch wild birds.
In 2005, Animal Aid revealed that he was one of only six known game farmers in the UK to have adopted a battery cage system for pheasant rearing. Our exposé31 showed highly agitated, sick breeding birds in outdoor metal pens and has caused unusual divisions in the shooting ranks. BASC chose to oppose the cages. Writing in the February 2006 edition of Sporting Gun magazine, BASC spokesman Simon Clarke declared:
'Animal rights groups have filled their ammunition pouches with damning footage of birds in dreadful condition, hens with their flesh lacerated by over-treading, cock pheasants bloodied by hen-pecking. That ammunition has been fired into every newsroom and every MP's office at Westminster. It is, they claim, evidence that game shooting has become little more than factory farming to provide feathered targets.'
This breaking of ranks by BASC was greeted with hostility by Holden, who used the monthly column he writes for Shooting Gazette to castigate the entire committee of BASC as 'wallies of the week'.
Holden was not the only prominent member of the Game Farmers' Association - the organisation entrusted by government with the welfare of game birds - to be implicated in the battery cage scandal. Of the six game farmers in Britain so far known to have embraced this intensive system, two others also sit on the executive committee of the GFA.
Ignoring the seasons
Coinciding with the announcement of a public consultation concerning game shooting, the government is reported to be considering acceding to industry wishes to abandon shooting season restrictions. (Pheasants may not be taken or killed between 1 February and 1 October. Partridges may not be taken or killed between 1 February and 1 September.) While DEFRA proposes that the close seasons be maintained, there is, nonetheless, evidence that some in the industry are already failing to heed these restrictions.
Rick Bestwick Ltd, the largest game processor in Europe, is based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. The company receives game from 650 shoots in Britain, and processes a million birds per year. Many are marketed as the Keeper's Choice range. The company is a third party supplier to Marks & Spencer.
In a series of advertisements in Shooting Times over the last two years, Bestwick has solicited a supply of pheasants out of the shooting season. There seems no plausible explanation for this, other than an attempt to procure birds that have been killed illegally. The publication accepted the adverts and no industry voices appear to have been raised against the process. Animal Aid reported the matter, and the issue became the subject of investigations by Derbyshire Trading Standards and police wildlife crime officers.
Government endorsement
A principal theme of this report is that the 'gamebird' production and shooting industry is ruthless in pursuit of its pleasures and attendant financial rewards. More than that, it works diligently to obscure the truth about its activities, and, instead, presents an image of traditional sporting sorts serving as custodians of the countryside. Depressingly, it is abetted in this bloody charade by a Labour government that seems desperate to appease the pro-hunting lobby in the aftermath of the hard-fought battle to ban hunting with dogs.
During the parliamentary committee stage of the new Animal Welfare Bill in 2005, committee members were disturbed to hear evidence of mutilation and constraint in game bird breeding. The practice of fitting bits to pheasants' mandibles, and spectacles to prevent aggression, was examined. However, instead of appointing an independent research body to study the scientific effects of these devices, the government awarded the contract to the pro-shoot lobby group, the Game Conservancy Trust. It is not the first time that the GCT has benefited from its closeness to authority. Forty per cent of its income is derived either from government or other public funding sources.
While the current government cannot be expected to bear all the responsibility for an historic lack of independent regulation, it is true to say that its support for the shooting industry has been almost sycophantic. As guest speaker at a BASC event in July 2005, Jim Knight, then the Rural Affairs Minister, told his audience:
'The Labour manifesto commitment on shooting is a commitment that the sport will flourish. The Government recognises its role, and that of game shooting in particular, to the rural economy, and values its contribution to environmental protection and land management.'
In television interviews on the same day, Mr. Knight said, 'we are absolutely pro-shooting'. It is therefore unsurprising that the opportunity afforded by the Animal Welfare Bill to introduce meaningful independent regulation has apparently been ignored. Despite evidence presented by Animal Aid, the new legislation seems unlikely to include any new controls on shooting, although Ben Bradshaw - the government minister responsible for the Bill - has expressed concern at the development of battery rearing cages - first publicly exposed by Animal Aid - and hinted at the possibility of action in the future.
At the same time, as we have seen, the government is indicating that it intends to take further dramatic steps to deregulate the shooting industry. The 2006 consultation exercise asked for views on the lifting of the historic ban on Sunday shooting and for the abandonment of the requirement (currently widely flouted) for game dealers and gamekeepers to purchase an annual licence.
The elusive truth about shooting
So given all the industry spin, where is the official data on the shooting industry? The answer is that there is very little available.
Until recently, DEFRA (the government ministry responsible for agriculture and the environment) had no record of the number of pheasants and partridges bred and still has no data on those released, shot, 'recovered' or exported. Equally, the Office of National Statistics keeps no record of the number of game birds consumed. The recent bird flu crisis has pushed the government towards a modest audit in the shape of a new 'poultry register' - a database intended to include all holdings with more than 50 gamebirds.
This lack of reliable hard data has allowed the industry to indulge in self-serving guesses and plain invention. We have seen how this applies to animal welfare and conservation issues, but it also applies to estimates on the financial benefits of shooting.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The Philadelphia Phillies have agreed with left-hander Antonio Bastardo on a $1.4 million, one-year contract, avoiding arbitration.
Bastardo was 2-5 with one save and a 4.33 ERA in 65 games last season. He struck out 81 in 52 innings. He ranked third among major league relievers in strikeouts per nine innings (14.02), trailing Atlanta's Craig Kimbrel (16.66) and Cincinnati's Aroldis Chapman (15.32). Bastardo also held opposing batters to a .207 average (40 for 193), including a .169 average (14 for 83) by lefty hitters.
The 27-year-old Bastardo was one of baseball's most dominant pitchers in 2011 until the final month. He had a 1.42 ERA and allowed just 19 hits in 50 2-3 innings through August that year.
Bastardo was the last remaining arbitration-eligible player for the Phillies this offseason.
