We all make mistakes and some of us learn from them. What is even better is to learn from other people's mistakes, where they pay for those mistakes while we learn free of charge. #ad#Many Americans who say ... -
Don't Let Science Be Settled with Political Intimidation
How long will this country remain free? Probably only as long as the American people value their freedom enough to defend it. But how many people today can stop looking at their electronic devices long enough to even think about ... -
Who Really Trashes the Liberal Arts?
An op-ed piece titled "Conservatives, Please Stop Trashing the Liberal Arts" appeared last week in the Wall Street Journal. But it is not conservatives who trashed the liberal arts. Liberal professors have trashed the liberal arts, by converting so many ... -
Lee Kuan Yew's Market Miracle
It is not often that the leader of a small city-state — in this case, Singapore — gets an international reputation. But no one deserved it more than Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of Singapore as an independent country in 1959, and its ... -
Minimum-Wage Laws: Ruinous 'Compassion'
It is fascinating to see brilliant people belatedly discover the obvious — and to see an even larger number of brilliant people never discover the obvious. A recent story in a San Francisco newspaper says that some restaurants and grocery stores ... -
The 'Disparate Impact' Racket
The U.S. Department of Justice issued two reports last week, both growing out of the Ferguson, Mo., shooting of Michael Brown. The first report, about "the shooting death of Michael Brown by Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson," ought ... -
Barack and Hillary's Pay-Gap Problem
There may be some poetic justice in the recent revelation that Hillary Clinton, who has made big noises about a "pay gap" between women and men, paid the women on her Senate staff just 72 percent of what she paid the ... -
Now's No Time for Happy Talk
When Alfred E. Neuman asked "What, me worry?" on the cover of Mad magazine, it was funny. But this message was not nearly as funny coming from President Barack Obama and his national-security adviser, Susan Rice. In a musical comedy, ... -
Debunking the Anti-Vaccine Pseudoscience
The current controversy over whether parents should be forced to have their children vaccinated for measles is one of the painful signs of our times. Measles was virtually wiped out in the United States, years ago. Why the resurgence of ... -
Climatologists' Problematic Predictions
It was refreshing to see meteorologists apologize for their dire — and wrong — predictions of an unprecedented snowstorm that they had said would devastate the Northeast. It was a big storm, but the Northeast has seen lots of big snowstorms before ... -
Early Presidential Prospects
With 2015 just getting under way, the buzz of political activity makes it seem almost as if we were already in the midst of the 2016 presidential campaign. Among the Democrats, Hillary Clinton is honing her message to appeal to the mindset ... -
Obama's New Year's Irresolution
President Barack Obama's absence from the great gathering in Paris of national leaders from other countries, to show their solidarity with France in its opposition to Islamic terrorists, was another sign of the Obama administration's continuing irresolution in ... -
His Royal Glibness
Now that Barack Obama is ruling by decree, he seems more like a king than a president. Maybe it is time we change the way we address him. "Your Majesty" may be a little too much, but perhaps "Your Royal ... -
When Facts Are Obsolete
Some of us, who are old enough to remember the old television police series Dragnet may remember Sergeant Joe Friday saying, "Just the facts, ma'am." But that would be completely out of place today. Facts are becoming obsolete, as ... -
Tortured Reasoning
Critics and defenders of the harsh interrogation methods applied to captured terrorists can argue forever over whether those methods were "torture." But any serious discussion of a serious issue — and surely terrorism qualifies as serious — has to move beyond semantics ... -
Law Is Not Optional
The fiasco of Rolling Stone magazine's apology for an unsubstantiated claim of gang rape at a University of Virginia fraternity house — and the instant rush to judgment of the university administration in shutting down all fraternities when those charges ... -
Beware of Our Betters
Jonathan Gruber's several videotaped remarks about the gross deceptions that got Obamacare passed in Congress should tell us a lot about the Obama administration. And the way the mainstream media hesitated for days to even mention what Professor Gruber ... -
A Legacy of Liberalism
Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said there were "phrases that serve as an excuse for not thinking." One of these phrases that substitute for thought today is one that depicts the current problems of blacks in America as "a ... -
Here Is Voter Fraud
One of the biggest voter frauds may be the idea promoted by Attorney General Eric Holder and others that there is no voter fraud, that laws requiring voters to have photo identification are just attempts to suppress black voting. Reporter ... -
Predatory Journalism
The New York Times is again on the warpath against what it calls "predatory lending." Just what is predatory lending? It is lending that charges a higher interest rate than people like those at the New York Times approve of. ... -
Local Elections with Lasting National Import
Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill once said, "All politics is local." That may have been true in Tip O'Neill's day, but some elections are decisively on national issues — and the congressional elections this year are overwhelmingly ... -
Obama's Transparency
What a non-judgmental society amounts to is that common decency is optional — which means that decency is likely to become less common. The biggest issue in this fall's election is whether the Obama administration will end when Barack Obama ... -
Late-Talking Children Explained
Anyone who knows what anxiety, and sometimes anguish, parents go through when they have a child who is still not talking at age two, three, or even four, can appreciate what a blessing it can be to have someone who ... -
Irresponsible Choices
The latest Gallup poll indicates that 14 percent of the people "moderately disapprove" of Barack Obama's performance as president and 39 percent "strongly disapprove." Since Obama won two presidential elections, chances are that some of those who now "strongly disapprove" of ... -
The Media and the Mob
Those of us who admit that we were not there, and do not know what happened when Michael Brown was shot by a policeman in Ferguson, Mo., seem to be in the minority. We all know what has happened since ... -
De Blasio's War on Achievement
New York's mayor, Bill de Blasio, like so many others who call themselves "progressive," is gung-ho to solve social problems. In fact, he is currently on a crusade to solve an educational problem that doesn't exist, even though ... -
Cease the Ceasefires
Many years ago, on my first trip around the world, I was struck by how the children in the Middle East — Arab and Israeli alike — were among the nicest-looking little children I had seen anywhere. It was painful to think ... -
Lawsuits and Impeachment Won't Stop Obama
Whenever Democrats are in real trouble politically, the Republicans seem to come up with something new that distracts the public's attention from the Democrats' problems. Who says Republicans are not compassionate? With public-opinion polls showing President Obama's sinking ... -
The Best Birthday Present
Birthdays are supposed to be times for celebration and gift-giving. But America's upcoming birthday on the Fourth of July is a time when the gift most needed is an urgent warning about the dangers of losing the things that ... -
A Bitter Aftertaste
The news from Iraq that Islamic terrorists have now taken over cities that American troops liberated during the Iraq war must have left an especially bitter aftertaste to Americans who lost a loved one who died taking one of those ... -
Understanding Obama's Bergdahl Rationale
People are arguing about what the United States got out of the deal that swapped five top-level terrorist leaders for one American soldier who was, at best, absent from his post in a war zone. Soldiers who served in the ... -
Poverty and Snowstorms
Many years ago, in upstate New York, there was a lady who was caught in a fierce snowstorm that produced conditions called a "whiteout." That's when the snow is falling so thick and fast that all you can see ... -
Sexual Assault on Campus
There seems to be a full-court press on to get colleges to "do something" about rape on campus. But there seems to be remarkably little attention paid to two crucial facts: (1) rape is a crime and (2) colleges are not qualified ... -
The Fate of Dunbar High
Dunbar High School in Washington is becoming a controversial issue again — and the controversy that is beginning to develop has implications for American education well beyond the District of Columbia. There has not been much controversy about Dunbar High School ... -
Holder's Cynical Education Fraud
Of all the cynical frauds of the Obama administration, few are so despicable as sacrificing the education of poor and minority children to the interests of the teachers' unions. Attorney General Eric Holder's attempt to suppress the spread of ... -
The Costs of Ukrainian Disarmament
Liberals can be disarming. In fact, they are for disarming anybody who can be disarmed, whether domestically or internationally. Unfortunately, the people who are the easiest to disarm are the ones who are the most peaceful — and disarming them makes ... -
Statistical Frauds of the Left
The "war on women" political slogan is in fact a war against common sense. It is a statistical fraud when Barack Obama and other politicians say that women earn only 77 percent of what men earn — and that this is because ... -
A Halo for Selfishness
The recent Supreme Court decision overruling some Federal Election Commission restrictions on political-campaign contributions has provoked angry reactions on the left. That is what often happens whenever the high court rules that the First Amendment means what it says — free ... -
How Foreign Is Our Policy?
Many people are lamenting the bad consequences of Barack Obama's foreign policy, and some are questioning his competence. There is much to lament, and much to fear. Multiple setbacks to American interests have been brought on by Obama's ... -
Upwardly Mobile Immigrants
Professor Amy Chua of the Yale Law School is better known as a "Tiger Mom" because of her take-no-prisoners, tough love approach to raising children. She and her husband, Jed Rubenfeld (a fellow Yale Law professor), have written what may ... -
The Left Versus Minorities
If anyone wanted to pick a time and place where the political left's avowed concern for minorities was definitively exposed as a fraud, it would be now — and the place would be New York City, where far-left mayor Bill ... -
The 'Fairness' Fraud
It seems as if everywhere you turn these days there are studies claiming to show that America has lost its upward mobility for people born in the lower socioeconomic levels. But there is a sharp difference between upward mobility, defined ... -
The Void Ted Cruz Fills
Senator Ted Cruz is a hero in some Republican circles — and the opposite among many of his Senate Republican colleagues. At this crucial juncture in the history of America, internal battles within the only party that can turn things around ... -
A Galling Betrayal
The Afghanistan government's recent release of dozens of imprisoned terrorists, many of whom had killed Americans, was a galling betrayal of those Americans who died defending Afghanistan against the Taliban terrorists — as well as those Americans who have returned ... -
Republicans' Comprehensive Immigration Folly
Some supporters of President Obama may be worried about how he and the Democrats are going to fare politically as the problems of Obamacare continue to escalate, and it looks like the Republicans have a chance to win a majority ... -
Ignoring Facts and Attacking Character
One of the things that attracted me to the political Left as a young man was a belief that leftists were for "the people." Fortunately, I was also very interested in the history of ideas — and years of research in ... -
Facing Minimum-Wage Truth
Words seem to carry far more weight than facts among those liberals who argue as if rent-control laws actually control rents and gun-control laws actually control guns. It does no good to point out to them that the two American ... -
The DOJ Is Playing Politics with Education
Anyone who has not yet understood the utter cynicism of the Obama administration in general, and Attorney General Eric Holder in particular, should look at the Justice Department's latest interventions in education. If there is one thing that people ... -
The Trickle-Down Lie
New York's new mayor, Bill de Blasio, in his inaugural speech, denounced people "on the far right" who "continue to preach the virtue of trickle-down economics." According to Mayor de Blasio, "They believe that the way to move forward ... -
Hit-Piece Journalism
Front-page editorials disguised as news stories have become such familiar features of the New York Times that it should have been no surprise to discover in the December 28 issue a front-page story about a professor of finance at the University ...
Who's the Right Man for Conservatives in 2016?
Painful as it is to realize that both the Democrats and the Republicans will still be holding their primaries a year from now, that is one of the high prices we pay for democracy. Seldom does the initial "front-runner" in ... -
Obama's Iran 'Agreement' Is a Charade
By abandoning virtually all its demands for serious restrictions on Iran's nuclear-bomb program, the Obama administration has apparently achieved the semblance of a preliminary introduction to the beginning of a tentative framework for a possible hope of an eventual ... -
There's No Deterring an Apocalyptic Nuclear Iran
Recent statements from United Nations officials, that Iran is already blocking their existing efforts to keep track of what is going on in their nuclear program, should tell anyone who does not already know it that any agreement with Iran ... -
Hillary's Record: Free of Accomplishments, Full of Setbacks
It is amazing how a simple question can cause a complex lie to collapse like a house of cards. The simple question was asked by Bill O'Reilly of the Fox News Channel, and it was addressed to two Democrats. ... -
A Churchill for Our Times
When Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress on March 3rd, it was the third time he had done so. The only other person to address a joint session of Congress three times was the legendary ... -
What Happens in the Middle East Doesn't Stay in the Middle East
When President Obama keeps talking about "violent extremists" in the abstract, you might wonder whether Presbyterians are running amok. The mainstream media seem desperate to try to find something to undermine Republican governor Scott Walker's rise in the polls. ... -
Why the Outrage at Rudy?
The firestorm of denunciation of former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani, for having said that he did not think Barack Obama loved America, is in one sense out of all proportion to that remark — especially at a time when there ... -
What the 'Social Justice' Attack on Admissions Standards Gets Wrong
Opponents of charter schools have claimed that these schools are "cherry-picking" the students they admit and that this explains why many charter schools get better educational results with less money than public schools do. Many controversies about how students should ... -
Barack Obama, Grievance-Monger
In his recent trip to India, President Obama repeated a long-standing pattern of his — denigrating the United States to foreign audiences. He said that he had been discriminated against because of his skin color in America, a country in which ... -
Obama's Suicidal Iran Policy
Who says President Obama doesn't promote bipartisanship? His complicity in Iran's moving toward nuclear bombs has alarmed some top Senate Democrats enough to get them to join Republicans in opposition to the Obama administration's potentially suicidal foreign ... -
The Perils of Thoughtless 'Diversity'
Islamic terrorist attacks in Europe, and European governments' counter-attacks are more than just a passing news story. Europe is currently in the process of paying the price for years of importing millions of people from a culture hostile to the ... -
The 'Equality' Racket
Some time ago, burglars in England scrawled a message on the wall of a home they had looted: "RICH BAST**DS." Those two words captured the spirit of the politicized vision of equality — that it was a grievance when someone ... -
A Year of Anniversaries
The past year marked a number of important anniversaries. It was the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War — a war which many at the time saw as madness, and predicted that it would be the harbinger ... -
The Race Card's Steep Cost
The cold-blooded murder of two New York City policemen as they sat in their car is not only an outrage but also a wake-up call. It shows, in the most painful way, the high cost of having demagogues, politicians, mobs, ... -
Skip the Stress; Give Books
This year, Christmas shopping may be an especially welcome respite from the ugly events going on across the country, as mobs take to the streets because grand juries that examined evidence reached different conclusions from those reached by mobs who ... -
The Steep Cost of the Ferguson Riots
Everyone seems to have an opinion about the tragic events in Ferguson, Missouri. But, as Daniel Patrick Moynihan used to say, "You're entitled to your own opinion, but you're not entitled to your own facts." Soon after the ... -
A Quota on Punishment
If anyone still has any doubt about the utter cynicism of the Obama administration, a recent agreement between the federal government and the Minneapolis public schools should open their eyes. Under the Obama administration, both the Department of Education and ... -
No Lame-Duck President
Just what happened last week on Election Day? And what is going to happen in the years ahead? The most important thing that happened last week was that the country dodged a bullet. Had the Democrats retained control of the ... -
Democrats Can Run, But They Can't Hide
The great boxing champion Joe Louis once said about one of his opponents, who was known for his speed: "He can run but he can't hide." In the Congressional elections this year, many Democrats are running away from Barack ... -
Indoctrination by Grievance-Mongers
Goddard College's recent decision to have its students addressed from prison by a convicted cop killer is just one of many unbelievably irresponsible self-indulgences by "educators" in our schools and colleges. Such "educators" teach minorities born with an incredibly ... -
Ebola and Obama
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is both a danger in itself and a wake-up call for Americans — about President Obama, about the institutions of this country, and, most important, about ourselves. There was a time when an outbreak of ... -
Obama's Poll-Driven Foreign Policy
Some pundits are saying that President Obama has been floundering in his response to the Islamic State crisis because public-opinion polls show most Americans don't want another war. In all my 84 years, I cannot recall a time when most ... -
Obama's Shameful ISIS Strategy
Those people who say that President Obama has no clear vision and no clear strategy for dealing with the Islamic State terrorists in the Middle East may be mistaken. It seems to me that he has a very clear and ... -
More Policing Means Less Violence
The political Left has been campaigning against the use of force since at least the 18th century. So it is not surprising that they are now arguing that heavily armed or aggressive police forces only inflame protesters and thus provoke ... -
When TV Determines Guilt or Innocence
I don't know why we are spending our hard-earned money paying taxes to support a criminal-justice system, when issues of guilt and innocence are being determined on television — and even punishment is being meted out by CNN's showing ... -
Is Thinking Obsolete?
Some have said that we are living in a post-industrial era, while others have said that we are living in a post-racial era. But growing evidence suggests that we are living in a post-thinking era. Many people in Europe and ... -
Bordering on Madness
In a recent confrontation between protesters against the illegal flood of unaccompanied children into the United States and counter-protests by some Hispanic group, one man from the latter group said angrily, "We are as good as you are!" One of ... -
'Please Stop Helping Us'
Back in the heyday of the British Empire, a man from one of the colonies addressed a London audience. "Please do not do any more good in my country," he said. "We have suffered too much already from all the ... -
A Lame-Duck Country?
Pundits are pointing to President Barack Obama's recent decline in public-opinion polls, and saying that he may now become another "lame duck" president, unable to accomplish much during his final term in office. That has happened to other presidents. ... -
Why Eric Cantor Lost
Not since a 42-to-1 underdog named Buster Douglas knocked out undefeated heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in 1990 has there been an upset like economics professor Dave Brat defeating House majority leader Eric Cantor in the Republican primary in Virginia. You couldn'... -
Will the VA Wake Us Up?
Will the Veterans Affairs scandal wake up those people who have been blithely saying that what we need is a "single payer" system for medical care? Delays in getting to see a doctor have been a common denominator in government-run ... -
The Height of Utopianism
A political battle that is shaping up in San Francisco has implications for other communities across the country. The issue that will be on the June ballot is whether voter approval shall be required to change the height restrictions on ... -
Gary Becker (1930–2014)
Nobel Prize–winning economist Gary Becker was internationally renowned within the economics profession, but not nearly as well known among the general public as he deserved to be. More important, his path-breaking ideas, including his analysis of the economics of ... -
Demonizing the Helpers
It is not easy to demonize people who have spent hundreds of millions of dollars of their own money to help educate poor children. But some members of the education establishment are taking a shot at it. The Walton Family ... -
The Left's 'Income Inequality' Canard
Income inequality has long been one of the liberals' favorite issues. So there is nothing surprising about its being pushed hard this election year. If nothing else, it is a much-needed distraction from the disasters of Obamacare and the various ... -
The Housing Price of Liberalism
Liberals advocate many wonderful things. In fact, I suspect that most conservatives would prefer to live in the kind of world envisioned by liberals, rather than in the kind of world envisioned by conservatives. Unfortunately, the only kind of world ... -
Remembering Chuck Stone
Black journalist Chuck Stone (1924–2014) was one of those people whose passing makes us think, "We shall not see his like again." He was passionately interested in racial issues but he was never a race hustler. He followed nobody's party ... -
Taking Us Down a Notch
Japan recently turned over to the United States enough weapons-grade nuclear material to make dozens of nuclear bombs. This was one of President Barack Obama's few foreign policy "successes," as part of his nuclear-disarmament initiative. But his foreign-policy successes ... -
How Republicans Can Win Black Votes
Recently former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice added her voice to those who have long been urging the Republican party to reach out to black voters. Not only is that long overdue, what is also long overdue is putting some ... -
The Rule-or-Ruin Faction of the GOP
At a time when polls show public opinion turning against the Democrats, some Republicans seem to be turning against each other. Even with the prospect of being able to win control of the Senate in this fall's elections, some ... -
The Price of Freedom
There may be something to the claim that all people want to be free. But it is a demonstrable fact that freedom has been under attack, usually successfully, for thousands of years. The Federal Communications Commission's recent plan to ... -
Ted Cruz and the Lesson of Dunkirk
Politics is often like war. Unfortunately, politicians, the media, and the voting public seldom have the same degree of realism and discipline with which professional soldiers fight wars. You can indulge your emotions and base your decisions on wishful thinking ... -
Ted Cruz and the Point of No Return
Freshman senator Ted Cruz says many things that need to be said and says them well. Moreover, some of these things are what many, if not most, Americans believe wholeheartedly. Yet we need to remember that the same was true ... -
The Highway to Serfdom
It is amazing how many people still fall for the argument that if life is unfair the answer is to turn more money and power over to politicians. Since life has always been unfair for thousands of years and in ... -
The Inequality Bogeyman
During a recent lunch in a restaurant, someone complimented my wife on the perfume she was wearing. But I was wholly unaware that she was wearing perfume, even though we had been in a car together for about half an ... -
The Lost War against Dependency
Since this year will mark the 50th anniversary of the "War on Poverty," we can expect many comments and commemorations of this landmark legislation in the development of the American welfare state. The actual signing of the War on Poverty ... -
Inequality Fallacies
Someone summarized Barack Obama in three words — "educated," "smart," and "ignorant." Unfortunately, those same three words would describe all too many of the people who come out of our most prestigious colleges and universities today. President Obama seems completely unaware ... -
A League of His Own
The first time I saw New Jersey governor Chris Christie on television, a few years ago, my first reaction was astonishment: "A talking Republican!" It would scarcely have been more astonishing if there had been a talking giraffe. For reasons ... -
A New Year and Old Problems
Whenever we stand on the threshold of a new year we are tempted to forget the hazards of prophecy and try to see what may lie on the other side of this arbitrary division of time. Sometimes we are content ... -
The Gift of Clarity: A Christmas Book List
As Christmas approaches, the shopping mall can become a shopping maul. One way of buying gifts for family and friends without becoming part of a mob scene in the stores is to shop on the Internet. However, for many kinds ...

WASHINGTON: The seas are shrinking. As missiles grow longer-ranged and more precise, as sensors grow ever sharper, there are ever fewer places for a ship to hide. "A ship's a fool to fight a fort," goes an old naval adage, because a land base can carry more ammunition and armor than anything that floats. Admirals… Keep reading →
WASHINGTON: One of America's most respected strategists is calling for a comprehensive review of the military's roles and missions to prepare the way for revision of the basic law undergirding the modern force, Goldwater-Nichols. The combination of an excellent quartet of lawmakers leading the armed services committees; the markedly complex and global set of threats… Keep reading →
This is the second in our exclusive series on the crucial but neglected question of sea mines and how well — or not — the United States manages this very real global threat. Only 4.7 percent of the US Navy's 275 warships are dedicated to mine warfare. Those small numbers face Iran's several thousand naval mines, North Korea's 50,000, China 100,000 or… Keep reading →
[UPDATED with comments from Rep. Randy Forbes, Cdr. Bryan Clark, & anonymous admiral] WASHINGTON: We must win the war of electrons in a more dangerous world. That's the stark imperative behind the bland title of the new maritime strategy released today by the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. "There is an offensive warfighting tone… Keep reading →
THE FUTURE: Imagine you're a Chinese high commander, taking stock at the outbreak of the next great war.

Poland suddenly reappeared in 1919, 120 years after it vanished from the map of Europe, sowing confusion at the Versailles Peace Conference as the great powers tried to heal the wounds of World War I.

Moncada hoping to sign somewhere soon
Now that he's officially been declared a free agent, top Cuban prospect Yoan Moncada told MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez that he hopes to "sign with a team soon."
The 19-year-old Moncada has already held private workouts for the Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, Padres, Giants, Rangers, Rays, Tigers and Brewers. Other teams could also make a push to sign Moncada now that he's actually allowed to sign a deal.
"My goal is to sign with a team soon, start training with them, and make it to the Major Leagues as fast as I can with whichever team that might be," Moncada said in Spanish to MLB.com in his first interview since arriving in the United States in late November. "I know I'm going to do the best I can for as long as I can in this sport."
Naturally a shortstop, Moncada can also play second or third base. The Yankees and Red Sox have long been mentioned as the potential favorites to sign Moncada, but the Dodgers have also been floated as one of the most likely landing spots.

Belisario getting interest from multiple teams
The Red Sox, Nationals, Blue Jays and Rays have shown interest in free-agent reliever Ronald Belisario, according to Jon Morosi of FOX Sports.
Belisario, 32, spent time as a closer for the White Sox in 2014 and recorded eight saves. The right-hander had a 5.56 ERA in 62 appearances. The White Sox designated him for assignment in November.
The Red Sox are looking for a right-handed option to fill out their bullpen, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, so Belisario could be a fit in Boston. Meanwhile, the Nationals and Blue Jays have also shown interest in free-agent reliver Burke Badenhop.

Rays to move Zobrist this offseason?
Though it seems to be nothing more than speculation at this point, FOX Sports' Jon Morosi writes that there is a "decent chance" the Rays will trade second baseman Ben Zobrist at some point this offseason.
On the surface, trading Zobrist would certainly make sense for a Rays team that has already had a busy offseason. The versatile infielder is set to turn 34 years old in May and is due to make $7.5 million in 2015 before hitting the free agent market after the season. A number of teams would likely be interested in Zobrist, something that could lead to the Rays moving him this offseason before watching him walk away in free agency next winter.
While nothing has materialized quite yet, Morosi lists the Mets, Nationals, Mariners, Rangers, Cubs, Reds, and Twins as potential fits for Zobrist. Again, there is nothing concrete to report on this front as of right now, but it simply seems to be the next logical step for the Rays and is something worth monitoring into the New Year.

Moncada could start workouts within two weeks
Cuban shortstop Yoan Moncada is still awaiting clearance from the Office of Foreign Asset and Control (OFAC), but is widely expected to begin private workouts within the next two weeks according to MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez.
The 19-year-old is one of the game's top international prospects right now and is expected to garner significant interest once he's officially available. Though his market will continue to develop as teams make more offseason moves, the clubs that were represented at Moncada's "batting showcase" earlier this year were the Braves, Red Sox, Yankees, Giants, Rays, Padres and Cubs.
Given his age, position and switch-hitting ability, Moncada doesn't figure to be short on offers as the process continues. There are no clear frontrunners at this point, but it's certainly a situation worth monitoring in the coming weeks.

Potential Rays, Padres deal reportedly waiting on Nationals
The potential trade between the Rays and Padres involving Wil Myers seems to be down to two potential scenarios, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.
There is apparently one scenario that involves the Nationals joining the mix and one scenario that would be a straight-up deal between the Rays and Padres. Either way, Tampa Bay would be sending Myers, catcher Ryan Hanigan and two lower-lever Minor Leaguers to San Diego in exchange for catcher Rene Rivera, right-hander Burch Smith and first baseman Jake Bauers. Bauers is the Padres' No. 14-ranked prospect, according to MLB.com, while Smith checks in at No. 16.
The alternate scenario apparently involves shortstop Trea Turner (San Diego's No. 5 prospect) and right-hander Joe Ross (No. 8 prospect). If the Nats decide to join the trade, Topkin reports that those two players would be flipped to Washington in exchange for outfield prospect Steven Souza and a low-level Minor League left-hander. Conversely, Turner and Ross would apparently stay in Tampa Bay if the Nationals elect to stay out of the deal.
Turner would need to be listed as a player to be named later in any potential trade, due to the fact that he was just drafted this past year. The Padres selected Turner with the 13th overall pick in the 2014 First-Year Player Draft.
There clearly remains a number of moving parts in this potential deal, but there should be some clarity provided as soon as the Nationals make a decision, presumably either Wednesday night or Thursday.

Rays reportedly working on multiple deals
The main rumor surrounding the Rays right now is obviously the potential trade that would send Wil Myers to the Padres — but that's not all Tampa Bay has in the works.
Multiple reports on Wednesday have suggested that the Rays could flip at least one player they receive from San Diego to another team in a separate deal. The most popular rumor right now seems to be that the Rays, if they indeed trade Myers, are trying to work out a deal to acquire the Nationals' Steven Souza as his replacement. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports and Joel Sherman of the New York Post, among numerous others, have each suggested this as a possibility.
Despite being ranked as the Nationals' No. 5 overall prospect — and seemingly being Major League ready — Souza doesn't have much of a place in Washington as long as the Nationals remain healthy. The trio of Bryce Harper, Denard Span and Jayson Werth are locked in as the Nats' starting outfielders.
That makes the 25-year-old Souza somewhat expendable, for the right price. He spent the majority of last season with Triple-A Syracuse, where he hit a staggering .350/.432/.590 to go along with 18 home runs, 75 RBIs and 26 stolen bases.
Any potential deal between the Rays and Nats obviously hinges on the Rays first completing their rumored deal with the Padres to clear a spot for Souza. If they do ultimately work out their first deal, they can focus their sights entirely on negotiating a deal for Souza, though it's unclear at this point what they would possibly send to the Nats in return.

Report: Rays put Joyce on the block
Add another outfielder to the trade market.
The Rays have made Matt Joyce available and have discussed the 30-year-old with other clubs, according to Jon Morosi of FoxSports.com. Joyce, who has been with Tampa Bay since 2009, is arbitration-eligible for the final time this winter after making $3.7 million in '14. He is set to become a free agent next offseason.
Joyce is a career .250/.342/.441 hitter, and the left-handed batter has mostly faced right-handed pitchers, slashing .261/.356/.463 against them. He has posted an above-average OPS+ of at least 108 for five straight seasons.
Defensively, Joyce has spent the bulk of his time in right field but played more in left last year.

D-backs add to rotation with Hellickson
The D-backs made their first trade under new general manager Dave Stewart on Friday, acquiring right-hander Jeremy Hellickson from the Rays for a pair of prospects.
The Rays took Hellickson in the fourth round of the 2005 First-Year Player Draft, and he won American League Rookie of the Year honors in '11, when he went 13-10 with a 2.95 ERA in 29 starts. He followed that up with a 3.10 ERA the next year, but that number rose all the way to 5.17 in '13.
Hellickson didn't debut until July 8 last year after recovering from elbow surgery. The 27-year-old went 1-5 with a 4.52 ERA over 13 outings, striking out 54 and walking 21 in 63 2/3 innings. He made $3.625 million through arbitration in '14 and has two seasons to go before free agency.
In return, the Rays got 20-year-old shortstop Andrew Velazquez, who was the D-backs' No. 12 prospect in MLB.com's rankings, as well as 19-year-old outfielder Justin Williams, the No. 14 prospect. Velazquez hit .290/.367/.428 with nine homers and 50 steals for Class A South Bend this year, while Williams hit a combined .351/.403/.467 with four homers and 46 RBIs in 74 games for Rookie-level Missoula and South Bend.

2/13 Roundup
Several teams followed the lead of the Dodgers and D-backs and officially opened Spring Training for pitchers and catchers on Thursday. The rest will follow between Friday and Monday.
But that doesn't mean the Hot Stove has been switched off, with a handful of free agents still available and some clubs continuing to look for ways to improve via trade. The Nationals, for instance, found a strong backup for catcher Wilson Ramos on Thursday, acquiring switch hitter Jose Lobaton and two prospects from the Rays for young right-hander Nathan Karns.
In other news from around the league:
- The Indians announced their four-year, $25 million extension with outfielder Michael Brantley. The deal buys out his arbitration eligibility and includes a fifth-year option.
- The Orioles have agreed to a three-year contract with South Korean pitcher Suk-min Yoon, pending a physical, a source told MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli. However, physicals have led Baltimore to void two other deals this offseason. Yoon could fit as a starter or a reliever with the O's.
- Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said his team isn't likely to spend more this offseason, meaning free-agent shortstop Stephen Drew won't be coming to Queens.
- Cuban free-agents Aledmys Diaz and Odrisamer Despaigne worked out for Major League scouts during a showcase in Arizona. Diaz, an infielder, and Despaigne, a right-handed pitcher, both hope to sign with a team by the end of the month.
- The Mariners officially signed free-agent closer Fernando Rodney to a two-year contract and inked veteran lefty Randy Wolf to a Minor League deal. They also placed outfielder Franklin Gutierrez on the restricted list after he informed them that he will miss the season with a chronic gastrointestinal issue.
- The Cubs officially reached deals with free-agent righties Jason Hammel and James McDonald, on the same day they revealed Jake Arrieta has been dealing with shoulder tightness that will push him behind schedule.
- The Phillies released veteran righty Chad Gaudin after he failed a physical. The two sides had agreed to a Minor League contract in January.
- The Rays are likely to sign free-agent lefty Erik Bedard, according to multiple reports. The 34-year-old went 4-12 with a 4.59 ERA in 32 games, including 26 starts, for the Astros last season.

I got sentanced to B.I. when I was 15 ,that was in 1962,and I was put on the juvenille side which was a building at the rear.You didnt have a release date ,but either got out when you turned 16 (that was when boys were considered adults at 16 and girls at 18)or when the guards saw you were not in much trouble while there and you could get out in 6 months or so. The guards were mostly ex airforce guys from the area. They walked around with a strap in their back pocket which was used to try and keep us in line. For what was called a minor violation of the rules we usually got 2 whacks on each hand with the strap, and 5 for a major violation, or it could be up to 10 on the butt, but that was for those caught escaping,plus 10 days ( I think it was 10 days in the hole) . The hole was in the basement and I think there were 2 cells ,it was in the same room as the boiler and hot as could be. The guys in there got limited food and no desert or other goodies. I remember once a new guard was on duty where I was working in the kitchen and we piled all the icecream and cake on the tray going to the hole that we could. You also had to eat everything on your plate before leaviing the dinning room.The food was cooked on the adult side and sent over to our side in big steam carts.We used to go for exersice out in the back where there was a ball diamond and the remains of runways the airplanes used when it had been a airforce training base. I remember one kid I couldnt stand would tie mice and things to little bushes and set them on fire , a few years later when I was in Drumheller pen ,he was there too,and got 10 years for manslaughter along with 2 other guys for killing a guy who was in for raping his sister,( the dad was in P.A. pen for the same thing ,sadly they didnt kill him there, I was glad the rapo got killed and didnt care what happened to the guy who tortured animals. One of the killers was a friend on mine and I felt bad he got 10 years too.One time in bowden when I was working in the kitchen I was sticking up for this little kid who was probably 13 and was being bullied by a guy my size. The bully wanted to fight so we exchanged a few punches and were wrestling around when someone said Mr Morphy was coming so we stoped fighting just as he entered. He wanted to know why we were breathing so heavilly and we said we were fooling around, thats when the little kid said come on ( and called me by name) tell the truth. He then proceeded to tell the guard what happened. Morphy looked at the bully and commented that he looked like he got the worsed of our scrap. We were then asked what we wanted our punishment to be , either 2 on each hand and be written up for a major violation,or 5 on the butt and get off with a minor violation,Since I was hoping to get out at christmas I chose the minor violation,so did the bully,even though his chances of ever getting out before turning 16 were nil.Mr Morphy took us to a locker room and had us drop our pants and bare our butts. The bully was the first to get whacked ,I heard the strap whistle through the air and he let out a howl,then it was my turn for one. The belt whistled through the air but stopped short and kinda fell on my butt,I screamed anyway cause I thought it was coming full force. So it went back and forth ,till we got our 5 whacks, the bullies butt was crimson and purple, when I looked back at mine later in the shower I had only a bit of pink marks. Mr. Morphy had punished the bully but let me off,ha,ha. ( later the bully became a popular singer). I didnt smoke ,and we wern't allowed to smoke , I didn't care , but some of the kids used to tear pages out of our bibles and roll leaves up and smoke them. We had to go to school and it was by correspondense ,there was a guard in each classroom we could ask questions if we got stuck. I found it easy to learn that way, its the only time I liked school. The wardens of the juvenille side was called Sawatski, and later when I was in P.A. there was a Swatski in there too, I never mentioned the warden cause it never came up,but years later on the street his brother told me that was their uncel, I wondered what they would have thought in P.A. if they knew he was related,ha,ha. Every saturday we got out little pails and scrub brushes and on hands and knees scrubed every inch of floor , then after drying it we waxed it the same way, once it was waxed we got to polish iy with hand buffers, they were heavy steel brick kinda things on a steel pole that swiveled, you slid them from side to side and the brushes attached to the brick polished up the floor. We also had to make our beds army style each morning,and after cleaning windows and floors etc,we'd stand by our beds for inspection, then go down to school. I didnt mind it there cause where I was from there was no electrcity or gas or running water,( I was from the outskirts of Calgary). I didnt learn anything about crime in there , but learned what perverted things could be done to girls,the guys heard most of that stuff from older brothers. I still was a virgin, and probably most of the kids were too, but we lied a lot. I heard about oral sex and 69,and 88,plus dining at the Y, we all claimed to know all about that stuff. I got out at Christmas ,after about 6 months of being there. I was out for a few months then landed in Spyhill at 16. I stayed out till I was around 18 then got 18 months at Spyhill,but was transferred to B.I. this time on the adult side. B.I. was still a provincial joint then. When arriving at B.I.( a bus load of us from Spyhill,and lethbridge jail) we were told that since there were no bars ,fences or guards patrolling , that we could walk away anytime we wanted ,but we were on the honor system and we trusted not to escape. They said that if any of us just had to run away that we should notify the guards and they would pack a lunch for us and give us half an hour head start. Later on another load of new guys someone asked for the lunch and head start, he didn't get the lunch ,instead he got thrown into the hole and shipped back to the jail he came from. There was a female nurse who thought it a big joke to tell inmates who had something wrong to go soak their heasd in cold water as a cure. This was common knowledge that she prescribed that treatment, no doubt she laughed it up with the guards. One time an imate whos first name was Neil camplained of bumps on the back of his neck , she told him to soak his head in cold water , and he was doing it. We were in the same dorm,it had cubicles, most were open,but it was for the guys who got into less trouble. Anyway Neil soon took a turn for the worst and they took him to the hospital in Innisfail,he died of lukienia a few days later, I overheard one of the higher up gaurds yelling at the nurse ,that hed better never hear her telling anyone to soak their head again. Bowden was a great place for young guys we didnt have a lot of experience at crime like safe cracking or paper hanging Although I was in for cashing forged cheques I didnt print them or the fake drivers licence I used,Some older criminals got that for me and I gave them 4o percent of my take. So we mostly talked about our past employment and girlriends etc. Bowden Institution had almost every trade you could think of ,baking, cooking, welding, automotive ,and so on, I took welding and passed my first year apperentice ship n there.I didn't follow it up on the street but 20 or more years later ran into a couple of the guys in my welding class that followed it up,and were working at Fort Mac, pulling in pretty serious money. I had become a heavy equipment operator and did ok too. I was in Drumheller shortly after it opened ( the 370 guy there) and they had all those shops too,but I hear now no prison in Canada has trades you can learn, kinda to bad, especially for the young guys. I really enjoyed my time in B.I.'s adult side and missed the friends i made in there, but not enough to volunteer to return. Ii got out and became a career criminal,and around 1975 or so my friend got transferred from P.A. Pe to Bowden which was now a fedral pen,I went up to visit him, it had a fence by then but the lobby part was the same , the old guards were put to a different job ,I think mostly watching the inmates , and they had other people in uniforms called L.U's I think it was. Jimmy said it was ok except to many rapos,and rats in for their own protection. Oh I almost fogot My good friend "Banjo" was his nick name, wound up in B.I. One day he decided to take the male nurse hostage and hole up in the hospital area, he demanded valium and was soon higher than a kite, I guess he eventually surendered and got sent to the "shoe" Special HanDling unit, otherwise known as Millhaven.. He told me a few great stories about the stuff there .It used to have a gymnasium in the old hanger .the roof wasnt to strong ,and there were telephone poles going from roof to floor right in the middle of the gym even, they had matresses wraped around them for protection. I got out of Drumheller in 1970 ,and after about 5 years of criminal activity which I loved at first, I started getting tired of it , I buddied notorious stool pigeon,who sold heroine and stayed out of jail by rating on other junk pushers, he was a super salesman and had at one time made his living buying used cars from new car dealerships ( older cars the dealer didnt want to sell) and he resold them from his house.I got him to introduce me to a few used car managers then I started selling cars too, it was so lucrative I didnt bother with crime after getting good at that. I still look at B.I. when I drive by,and get a lonley feeling kinda when I remember the guys I was friends with in there, Oh yeah there was no such thing as gangs back then, another thing With everyone crying that they were in there unjustly I thought I might be the only guilty guy there. If I was ever a genuine innocent man in any jail I was ever in ,he should have been there anyway for all those other crimes he had previously gotten away with , but I must say I dont believe innocent people get past a preliminary hearing.. We were all guilty,and bellonged there !!!

darbie wrote on Thursday, August 21, 2014 I do as well. My spouse has spent is entire life protecting women and children and was convicted without any preliminaries for date rape because he is an older man who allegedly had a prior conviction. When in reality she knew far more about street drugs and had the motive and opportunity!! I only hope she is using the $25,000 she should be getting from Victim Services for her son and is free of the R.A. gang now. We have helped many youth too and because of this at least some weaker guys are finding a mentor and protector as he can't stand bully's. By the way the victim had another male friend of her's convicted on the same charge before my husband's trial but nothing was said in court. It was as though a badly aiming 6 shooter was up against a flame thrower in a battle at the OK corral! Welcome to Alberta's justice system. Neither did the judge stand up to defend the accused from the killer ice queen Crown. Then finally after years of delays and being remanded, and after a verdict in which the judge said she based her decision on his terrible defense and especially the prior offense the truth was exposed. During the sentencing, our one gun lawyer finally had found the paper work to prove there was no sexual assault before the conviction!! But judgment was already passed and so the truth was ignored. Thank God this nightmare of injustice is at least half over and our family and community can look forward to a man who has many times put his life on the line to keep females and children safe- and would still do it again.Fortunately he is still a friend to the meek and weak and will continue to mentor men, whether in remand or Bowden and our prayers have been answered many times for the others he has helped with his canteen money and other selfless actions. My hope is that, now he is beyond the influence of a biased Crown who did all she could to stall the process for 3 years and neglected to find out the truth. I have known my beloved for 15 years and admire him so much for the endurance he has revealed in not hating and not killing. His grueling and suffering journey has produced a humble and compassionate man who is finding the identity of being " the better man" There is an expression that says " if it doesn't kill you, it will heal you" He has been a hero to many and may Bowden and Alberta start to treat him with the dignity, merit and justice he really deserves.

As a whole the human race is not perfect. Each and everyone of us has made mistakes, bad decisions and choices that have effected our lives negatively. I think this forum should be used positively to acknowledge that some must be incarcerated for their mistakes. However, to use it to propagate ill will or demands for violence against another just defeats the purpose of REHABILITATION. It shows poor judgement on your part. "To err is human, to forgive, divine. " I ask you in the future to think before you speak Doug. Nothing good can come from it.
wrote on Monday, March 10, 2014 I believe you would find it hard to find a parent of a child that has been violated nonetheless a victim that would agree with your statement.

This type of behaviour is not tolerated as a human race!!

I spent a many of years in Bowden with Kings crew and some Reaper, Rebels and some Diablos.Co existance and know we all belong, in the world not behind bars
irishroots wrote on Thursday, April 24, 2014 Hi,My man who is correctly incarcerated is thinking of transferring to Bowden could anyone that has either a loved one inside or who has been thre themselves give me an idea as to the conditions programs way of life etc. He is in a max and moving to a medium so we are very excited about that and if it works out I will be heading west as well.

Advice on Current A3 Printers Sought
Likes # 0
Posted February 21, 2010 at 11:15PM
Hello Everyone,
I'm looking for a colour printer for home use that takes A3 sheets *and* can print on continuous rolls of paper. Does such a thing exist without paying £500 or more?
I don't need multifunction or anything special in the way of printing. Simply something I can use to print digital images as well as any bog-standard inkjet. I guess my choice will be severely limited by insisting on the abiity to print on rolls, but a printer that will work with a continuous ink supplu would be preferred.

not sure about models able to take a roll but my hp deskjet 1120C, I know ancient but so am I, has an entry at the rear for large sheets that you do not want to have to go around the roller. It would not take a genius to fix a roll of paper behind the printer which can then feed through the rear. HP A3 inkjets are about twice the price of an A4 printer. Novatech have an epson a3 for £170

The Boston Red Sox snapped their five-game losing streak Sunday in a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. That said, there are still many questions about who may stay on the team by the time the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline rolls around.
A couple of Red Sox players upset about playing time and wanting a change of scenery are Mike Carp and Felix Doubront.
Carp expressed disapproval about his limited role on the team recently, and Doubront isn't happy about being relegated from starter to long reliever.
Manager John Farrell said before Sunday's game that while he respects Doubront's desire for an expanded role, the current circumstances surrounding the team make it difficult to find a spot for the lefty in the starting rotation.
Doubront has been inconsistent this season with an ERA of 5.22 and a 2-4 record, and Farrell thinks that with the athleticism the young left-handed pitcher possesses, he can be better.
"When you start to grade out the physical abilities, you would think that he's certainly capable of more," said Farrell.
Hear more of what Farrell had to say about Doubront in the video above.

v7 7.00 not getting CPU time; Recent Estimated Credit
(Message 1663157)
Posted 8 days ago by Harri Liljeroos I've come to similar conclusions by trying to adjust the project shares between Seti and Einstein so that they would get about same RAC. But Seti's inability to produce constant flow of work has made it difficult to track. Currently Einstein's share is 12 and Seti's 50. That was giving almost what I wanted until the current server problems here hit us. To make it more interesting, I'm running LHC with a share of 150. This keeps the CPU constantly busy with LHC work (when available) and as LHC don't have GPU application, Seti and Einstein use my GTX970 totally. 3 WUs at a time for both Einstein and Seti. Einstein is currently allowed to use the CPU as well but LHC dominates there and all Einstein CPU WUs (only very few at a time) run basically only at EDF mode usually starting just about 20 hours before the deadline. |

Posted 25 May 2013 by Harri Liljeroos I think all this part in quota should be removed Thanks, I may try that later. I'll wait and see if the scheduler fix has any affect for this. As we are not splitting any AstroPulse at the moment, it is hard to tell. |

Posted 24 May 2013 by Harri Liljeroos try to decieve BOINC telling it that Intel GPU AP is CPU app. How would I do that? By removing this section from the app_info.xml? <avg_ncpus>0.04</avg_ncpus>
Or just by removing the <plan_class> section? |

Posted 23 May 2013 by Harri Liljeroos I briefly looked at SongBird's app_info and noticed that you don't have AstroPulse application for your Cuda card. Your app_info seems to be similar than mine for the AstroPulse Intel OpenCL (mine is from aistub file) except for the last <app_version> section. I did add that part to my app_info.xml to see if that makes any difference. Well, it didn't. Unfortunately I can not get any AstroPulse WUs for the Intel HDGraphics. Maybe this is because I have the Cuda application for AstroPulse running as well? This all I get as a response for scheduler request: SETI@home 23.5.2013 20:17:22 Sending scheduler request: To fetch work.

Posted 20 May 2013 by Harri Liljeroos Hi, I have set up my Intel HDGraphics 4000 for OpenCL and installed Raistmer's application. I noticed that I needed to plug in my monitor to that card to make Boinc or GPU-Z to recognize its OpenCL capability, installing the driver and SDK were not enough. Normally the monitor is hooked to Nvidia GTX 650 Ti. Now Boinc is requesting work for intel_gpu but hasn't received any, the response is "no work avaliable for Seti Enhanced or AstroPulse 5.05 or v6". For CPU and CUDA I do get AstroPulse WUs and they run OK. This is in Windows 7 64 bit with Boinc 7.0.64. Here's the host http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=6969332 |

Posted 17 May 2013 by Harri Liljeroos The 3D Caps Viewer didn't first find the Intel Graphics at all, but when I connected the monitor to it, it started working. Now also GPU-Z and Boinc says Intel has OpenCL. GPU-Z doesn't find Cuda on my Nvidia card anymore but Boinc sees it and crunches away with Nvidia. I installed the Intel application and Boinc is requesting work for it from Seti but haven't received any. Reply is "no tasks available", only for ATI/AMD GPU. Thank you for your help. |

OpenCL on Intel HD Graphics 4000 not recognized
(Message 1368798)
Posted 17 May 2013 by Harri Liljeroos Hi, I am trying to get OpenCL to work on my Intel GPU. The CPU is I7-3770 on a WIn 7 Enterprise 64 bit. So far I have done the following: - enabled the internal graphics in the BIOS - allocated to it 512 MB memory in the BIOS - installed the latest driver for it (184.108.40.20671) - installed the Intel® SDK for OpenCL* Applications 2013 (64 bit) The computer also has a Nvidia GTX 650 Ti where the monitor is attached to. It runs the Lunatics CUDA application for MB and the OpenCL application for AP. GPU-Z sees both graphics cards but indicates for the Intel HD Graphics 4000 that no OpenCL is available (shows 0 MB memory for it though). Windows device manager indicates Intel HD Graphics working properly. Boinc is 64 bit version of 7.0.64 and does not find the Intel card. I have studied the Intel SDK installation notes and checked: - INTELOCLSDKROOT environment variable points to correct folder - registry entries mentioned in installation notes are there with correct values I have Raistmers AP application downloaded but not yet installed. Propably no point while OpenCL support is missing. Can somebody help, what I am doing wrong or is there still something missing? |

BOINCstats partial graph display
(Message 1308043)
Posted 20 Nov 2012 by Harri Liljeroos I've experienced similar behaviour on my old Compaq/HP 8710w laptop with Win XP. It has a Nvidia Quadro FX 3600M GPU. Some of the graphs on BOINCstats would go black randomly even while scrolling up and down my stats page with FireFox. The symptoms got worse the longer the computer and FireFox were on. Reloading the page with CTRL+F5 might sometimes help or just blacken some other graph on the page. Restarting the computer usually helped for a while but eventually the problem reappeared. Adblock Plus is in use on that machine. IE did not have the that problem and I never used Chrome. I tried different driver versions but that did not help. I did use that GPU for crunching for a while, but the high temperature did kill the original GPU, so now it crunches only with the CPU. I am currently using the driver version 176.87, which is actually the latest from HP for that machine, but newer drivers directly from Nvidia did not cure the problem. I just viewed my own stats with that computer using FireFox and the graphs are showing correctly. This might have been the first I've looked at them with this computer since the layout was changed at BOINCstats. The computer has been on for about a week but it hasn't been used for anything else than crunching and I could not reproduce the problem. I'll leave the FireFox on and try again later to see if the problem still persists. |

Upload server - disabled ?
(Message 1289963)
Posted 1 Oct 2012 by Harri Liljeroos Something certainly "wasn't right" this time round. despite everyone trying to get uploads (and for that matter downloads) the thin blue line fell to the bottom and stuck there for most of Saturday and Sunday (UK times). When it picked up there was quite a surge in it, now settling down to its usual level - I reckon there was a visit from a tyre kicker sometime Sunday evening (UK time) along with the end of the Astropulse production. If you look closely to the graph, you'll see that it has automatic scaling and the bottom is now 10 Mbit/s. So it was still receiving quite a lot of data even in worst situation. |

(Message 1020094)
Posted 27 Jul 2010 by Harri Liljeroos I've got four of these too on my host. All .vlar_0 and .vlar_1. And I also have app_info for 6.08 and cuda23. This one 01jn10ab.19594.74220.127.116.11.vlar was sent also to a standard 6.09 application. |

Posted 9 Feb 2010 by Harri Liljeroos Thank you for your reply Sutaru, I solved the issue by downloading the Lunatics Unified Installer 0.2 and took the Cuda 2.3 dll's from Einstein. The temperature is now controlled by the TThrottle and I set the max GPU temp to 81°C. For Einstein the throttling is activating only sometimes but for Seti it is almost constantly active and the application is throttled to 25...35 % to keep the temperature at 81. This of course slows down the calculation. I am wondering if it would make any difference if I'd use the 2.2 dll's. Probably there would be less throttling but calculation would take the same amount of time. It is difficult to compare how the computer is now doing as there aren't many this kind of GPU's around (CPU T9500, GPU Quadro FX 3600M: peak GFLOPS 160) I don't have a cooler for the laptop, but it is raised about 1 cm above the desk to let the air flow freely. |

Posted 2 Feb 2010 by Harri Liljeroos That's what I'll do, but first I will drain the cache (1+1 days) by setting NNT and let it finish all WU's. Maybe the temps would stay down if I could somehow get hold on the older cuda 2.2 version of the science application (6.08?). |

Posted 2 Feb 2010 by Harri Liljeroos Hi, I am trying to set up my laptop to use optimized CPU applications and use at the same time standard cuda application. The reason for this is that the laptop's gpu does not have a fan of it's own and is running too hot with optimized cupa application. When using only Lunatics optimized CPU applications the GPU temps get around 75 degrees celsius. With optimized GPU application the temps get around 87 degrees. I am now using the GPU application for Einstein which does not use much of the GPU and the GPU temp is then about 81 degrees. So I was wondering if using only the standard SETI cuda application I could keep the temp down and still use the GPU. So I'd like to know where to find the standard gpu applications and if someone had a ready formulated section for the app_info.xml using that application. I deleted from my current app_info the section for gpu to not use the optimized application. |

Posted 15 Jan 2010 by Harri Liljeroos Dang it... Using Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.com you can see what dll's are being used by different programs. You need to set the GPU processing always active so that you can select the running exe without the program exiting. Or at least you have to very quick. Maybe you can make the Process Explorer to write things to a log file, I haven't studied it so thorouhly. |

No CPU work, only CUDA, won't even request

Posted 13 Aug 2009 by Harri Liljeroos Does the backoff work only halfway if it was only affecting the CPU requests and not the GPU requests? If a request to server is made anyway shouldn't it then ask work for both GPU and CPU at the same time if host is lacking work for CPU and GPU? |
