Executive Summary
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are developed primarily for transaction processing, data collection and data reporting. By design ERP systems are designed to broad in their breadth of offering which results in being shallow in depth of specialized functionality such as Inventory Planning and Optimization.
Often there is a misconception that Inventory Planning & Optimization software performs the same functions as the MRP (material requirements planning) module, the Item Master modules and ordering module of an ERP system. Some of these differences between an ERP and the value of Inventory Planning and Optimization Solutions are explained in this document.
good way to introduce Inventory Planning and Optimization (Inventory management)
may be by quoting a well known Supply Chain book: "Competitive advantage will
increasingly stem from a firm's ability to deliver the right product to the
right place at the right time, at the right price. Recent studies show that
customers are increasingly substituting brand loyalty for availability" (Source:
M. Christopher, Logistics and Supply Chain, 2nd Ed, Prentice Hall).
implication is that companies with superior supply planning and execution systems
will end up getting the lion's share of the market. As Forrester Research notes,
"As the flow of goods more closely matches demand conditions, companies are
able to trim inventories, improve customer satisfaction, and avoid nasty surprises"
(Source: C. Mines, Six New Technologies to Boost Business Results,
Forrester Research, May 2002)
addition current trends around inventory management are:

Since 1998, Retailers, Distributors and Manufacturers having been introducing supply chain management (SCM) software, specifically designed to enable firms to better manage the planning (SCP software) and execution (SCE software) of supply chain functions. Figure 2 shows the various functional options available in the SCM market. The black eclipse shows the area of Inventory Planning and Optimization.

Main vendors in this space, such as SAP APO (Advanced Planning & Optimization), i2 Technologies, JustEnough, E3, and Manugistics are referred to in this document. Whilst some of the above companies provide tools in other aspects of SCM, the document limits its scope to the Inventory Planning and Optimization area.
This is Part One of a three-part article. Part Two will discuss Inventory Planning & Optimization Solutions. Part Three will present the Business Case for implementing these solutions and detail The Bottom Line.
ERP Systems Today
systems were developed in the 1970's to allow large companies to automate the
processing of transactions related to business functions like finance, order
processing, human resources and material requirements planning. Companies like
SAP, Baan and JD Edwards were among the first
to explore these opportunities. ERP systems were designed to allow a single
software package to replace disparate and obsolete software within the corporation.
The late 1990's saw a huge growth in the adoption and implementation of supply chain planning systems. ERP vendors have added new SCM modules onto their core product suites and are aggressively marketing this new functionality.
Research recently estimated that through 2006, ERP revenue growth rates would
be 10% compounded annually. However, of this, the majority of revenue will come
from SCM and CRM (customer relationship management) modules. The SCM market
on the other hand has been growing at close to 50% annually since 1998 (Source:
J.Surmacx, Mix and Match ERP, cio.com June 2002). Where SCM was once
viewed as a means to gain competitive advantage, companies now see it as a necessary
extension of an ERP system.
Forrester Research recently stated, there were a six "ripening technologies"
that they noted would "intersect with business technologies". The 1st mentioned
was "Coordinating Supply and Demand Chains", wherein it was stated that "smart
agent software would become event driven and self-regulatingnew continuous
demand management applications and practices that predict, manage and reduce
variability on the demand side." (Source: C. Mines, Six New Technologies
to Boost Business Results, Forrester Research, May 2002)
The following reasons outline why ERP vendors have added SCM functionality to their product:
Plans created by
sequential techniques are rarely optimal on the first attempt. Because organizational
requirements change consistently, sequential planning can never produce a truly
optimal plan for any useful period of time.
concludes Part One of a three-part article.
Two will discuss Inventory Planning & Optimization Solutions.
Three will present the Business Case for implementing these solutions and detail
The Bottom Line.

HOUSTON, Dec. 4 – Shoal Point Energy Ltd., Calgary, and Canadian Imperial Venture Corp., St. John's, plan to explore the Cambro-Ordovician Green Point formation on land and near shore in western Newfoundland.
Under an agreement with McLaren Resources Inc., Toronto, Shoal Point Energy plans to operate three exploratory wells. Shoal Point Energy 61.5% and CIVC 38.5% hold 137,000 acres of exploration rights above the Ordovician carbonate platform in Exploration License 1070 in the Port au Port Bay area with Green Point potential. All drilling targets are reachable from shore.
Green Point is recognized as having high total organic carbon, locally in excess of 10%, and is the probable source, based on geochemical affinities, of numerous oil and gas seeps in the region as well as early production on Shoal Point and the major exhumed oil field at Port au Choix, 200 miles north of Port au Port Bay, CIVC said.
To facilitate farmout deals, EL 1070 has been divided into 15 blocks. CIVC and McLaren have entered into a farmout agreement giving McLaren the right, on a well by well basis, to participate in a planned three-well program to start as early as possible in 2010. McLaren will pay 32% of the cost of the well to earn a 16% working interest in the block on which the well is drilled. Provided McLaren participates in all 3 wells, it will have the right to pre-empt and match the terms of any third party offer on remaining blocks in EL 1070.
The three firms also agreed to establish a 1.5 million acre area of mutual interest for lands outside EL 1070 that are potentially prospective. They intend to gain acreage through land sales and farm-out deals with others that hold lands in the AMI.

Highland Major Developments 2010

I'm not nearly done with it yet but what do people think so far?
highland_dev_map_50.gif 987.41KB 156 downloads
There's a part of me that wants the two maps to "go together" but because the scale of the maps are so different making a Highland map to match the Inverness one might have been too ambitious ... even for me!
The different coloured tiles represent short, medium and long term aspirations - the colours are negotiable but one has to be purple - and the black tile near Beauly (middle of the map) is to be confirmed.
I don't know if I'm going to put roads and rail on the map but settlements will probably need to be included along with the names of at least the principal towns.
Also, for fun - this map contains heaps of MasterMap data ... what do you think it could be ?!

I changed the labels to be tints of the same colour - they are the same thing after all - and varied the size according to whether they are short, medium or long term. The drop shadows have also been altered to reinforce the impact of the more pertinent short term developments over the more distant projects.
Frax - there is going to be a lot of information to fill the spaces I've left in the margins. Have you seen the similar map I'm doing for Inverness? Hopefully it's going to look a lot like that.
Posted 08 December 2009 - 08:07 AM
I concur . . .I find it distracting, particularly when there is relief shading on the land, one doesn't know quite what to make of the effects in the water.
It looks very good - but I have to say that I am not so fond of the marble/clouds on the sides - or will there be other information in these panels?

Remembering the Inverness map I'm not too bothered by the cloud effect. It is a little distracting right now, but there's not much text on it yet.
As for the label/tile thingies, I would like to see a little more contrast between the 3 classes - either greater size difference or greater color difference (or both). If I look at individual ones I can match them up to the legend, but I'm having a harder time picking out each class in the overall distribution. If the latter isn't important though they're probably okay as is.

Remembering the Inverness map I'm not too bothered by the cloud effect.
You get used to it ! Personally, if I'm making a halfways "real"-looking map I wouldn't want to highlight the area of interest with a simple mask - it looks at odds with the rest of the map. Don't get me wrong: if I'm doing a thematic map or something more formal then I'm all for blocks of colour and solid masks but I like to get my crayons out when I'm doing a map like this!
highland_dev_map_50.gif 926.77KB 38 downloads
I've increased the contrast in terms of size and colour of the numbered tiles - hopefully the difference should be more apparent on the map. Previously the medium and long term classes were 90% of the size of the short term and then the long term a further 90% of that. Now, the medium term is back to the original size, short term is 20% bigger and long term is 20% smaller.
I spent most of yesterday typing the text in >>yawn<< the numbers don't show up yet because the coloured squares are not in place yet - I'll do that when I'm certain the text won't change! There's also a little more room in the margins - apparently my overlonds want this map to be more visual that the last ... ... It's a 118.9x84.1cm map of the Highlands ... it doesn't get much more visual than that ! As yet, I only have one image to include - if I don't get any more than that I don't think I'll bother with it, it would be more of a distraction than anything else.

Foiled again!
Does anyone have a nice combination of three colours? I know the split complementaries of purple (corporate colour - sorry!) are green and orange but is the more vibrant colour for the smallest class a little counter-intuitive? I suppose it does help to draw attention to the smaller shapes but does it look alright to people?
Posted 11 December 2009 - 05:32 PM
But honestly, it looks super as it is, the work really shows.
I think you could do away with the north arrow, one would hope that the target audience will know which way is up.

Oy, 'vibrant' they want, time for a new Invergordon Mutiny perhaps.
There are two kinds of colours - bright, bold and exciting, or those from what I like to refer to as the arse-end of the pallette !
Funny you should mention the north arrow ... I couldn't find a spot on the map where it looked at home so I just sort of abandoned the north and scale down by the title. I'll give it a poke around tomorrow - I'm at home today in festive preparation ... did you know old drafts of maps make an interesting alternative to traditional wrapping paper ?!

Chris Matthews Still Thinks Michelle Bachmann is Under Hypnosis (VIDEO)
On 'Hardball' (Weekdays, 5 PM ET on MSNBC) Tuesday, Matthews picked up on this again, after playing a clip of Bachmann defending her comments that Barack Obama is anti-American.
"Look at her eye contact," Matthews said, after the clip was over. "I asked, when we had her on election night, if she's under hypnosis. She doesn't answer the questions, she looks straight ahead in a Zombie-like manner, like she's waiting for somebody to flash a card, like in 'The Manchurian Candidate.'
"This kind of bizzaro behavior," Matthews continued. "When you come off as Moonie-like, if you will."
Hypnosis, zombie-like, Manchurian candidate, bizzaro, Moonie-like. Maybe some day Matthews will tell us how he really feels about Bachmann.

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Feb 22, 2014
NIHONMATSU, Japan » As Japan confronts troubling economic data and memories of its stagnant "lost generation," the country's government is offering a little something to take the edge off: a bottle or two of sake.
Around the country at international airports, the government is helping to fund tasting booths where travelers can sample sake, an alcoholic brew made from fermented rice. On a recent morning, an attendant at a booth at Narita Airport near Tokyo explained that most high-quality sake is intended to be drunk slightly chilled — not heated, as lower-grade sake is sometimes offered at restaurants outside Japan.
The program, set to run at least until March, is part of a broader push by the government to bring the country's cultural products to the world — and in doing so, hopefully, give a little lift to Japan's export economy. A government-financed program called Cool Japan looks to champion the country's softer goods, like animi, music, fashion, food and drink. In December, Japan secured "intangible cultural heritage" status for its traditional cuisine, known as "washoku," from UNESCO.
Japan has been taking a broad approach to reviving its moribund economy. In the face of persistent deflation, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has introduced his "three arrows": fiscal stimulus, monetary easing and structural reform.
Sake and other softer goods are hardly going to fill the gap left by an erosion in core industries like electronics. But the government appears to be working on the assumption that every bit counts. In the case of sake and other rice-based products, the government hopes to increase exports fivefold by 2020, to a value of 60 billion yen, or $590 million.
"Until the current government, hardly anything was done to promote sake," said Hideharu Ohta, chief executive of Daishichi Sake Brewery in Nihonmatsu, a small town in Fukushima prefecture. "The government concentrated on electronics and cars, and lowering tariffs for those things."
Sake plays an important role in the culinary traditions of Japan, where it takes center stage in holiday toasts and is consumed by enthusiasts at izakayas, hole-in-the-wall bars. Yet consumption has fallen sharply over the past few decades, as many drinkers have switched to wine, much of it imported, or other domestic drinks like beer, whiskey or shochu.
Two decades of deflation and an aging population have caused a major problem for the domestic market. As a result, makers of alcoholic drinks have joined a rush of Japanese companies looking to do more business abroad. Suntory, the Japanese beer brewer and whiskey distiller, recently agreed to buy Beam Inc., the U.S. maker of Jim Beam bourbon and other spirits, for $13.6 billion.
But sake producers lack the deep pockets of corporate giants like Suntory. The industry is highly fragmented, with hundreds of small, mostly family-owned producers dotting the countryside, from the island of Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu in the south. Daishichi is one of a handful of sake producers that still uses a time-consuming, laborious, traditional method called kimoto.
With its artisan appeal, the company has managed to break into upmarket food shops like Le Bon Marchi in Paris. Even so, Daishichi exports only about 3 percent of its production, about 50 percent above than the national average.
In 2012, overall exports of Japanese sake totaled 8.9 billion yen, or about $87 million at current exchange rates, according to the National Tax Agency. While that was up from 7.5 billion yen a decade earlier, it is a tiny fraction of the 5.6 billion euros, or $7.7 billion, worth of wine France exported in 2012.
Sake producers in Fukushima are suffering even more than their peers elsewhere in Japan, rocked not just by the downturn in domestic consumption but also by fears over safety, after the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in March 2011. Some Japanese retailers have taken Fukushima sake off their shelves to avoid alarming their customers. China and South Korea do not allow imports of sake and other agricultural produce from the prefecture, citing health concerns.
The government faces a battle as it tries to appeal to palates outside Japan. The United States accounted for more than one-third of Japanese sake exports in 2012. But it has not caught on in a big way anywhere else.
One reason is price. With transport costs and import duties, sake can cost two to three times more overseas. Japanese negotiators have reportedly pushed sake into talks on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a proposed trade agreement that would cut tariffs on a variety of goods.
Another problem is confusion. Many sake labels are indecipherable to non-Japanese speakers. And much of the "sake" served in Japanese restaurants abroad is little more than cheap distilled alcohol, not the real thing. Once Westerners have been burned by this firewater, it can be difficult to convince them of the charms of real sake.
"I spend more time telling people what sake isn't than telling them what sake is," said Sylvain Hukt, a French blogger and sommelier who holds the title of sake samurai, awarded by the Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association.
The Japan External Trade Organization, which promotes exports, says it has educational efforts coming via conferences and other marketing. The brewers' association has named, for the first time, a Miss Sake, who will travel to events like a Joy of Sake festival in Hawaii this summer.
Abe is doing his part, giving bottles of sake to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia for his 61st birthday last year, and to President Frangois Hollande of France during a recent visit to Tokyo. The sake Abe chose, from a brewery called Asahi Shuzo, is made in his home prefecture, Yamaguchi.
Sold under the brand name Dassai, it is also from one of the few producers that has managed to buck the downturn in sales at home and to break into export markets. Asahi Shuzo exports about $3 million worth of sake yearly, or 8 percent of its production, to about 20 countries, according to Kazuhiro Sakurai, a vice president at the brewer. The company wants to raise that to 50 percent over the next 10 years, he said. To support the export push, the brewery plans to open a shop in Paris this summer.
Ohta of Daishichi, whose company has been making sake for nearly three centuries and exporting it for three decades, knows selling abroad is not easy. He says producers should take a long-term view, like the French wine chateaus that have found export success by playing up their history and ties to the land.
"We don't want to make concessions or to make a sake that would be easier for people abroad to drink," he said. "We want to make the products we are proud of in Japan."

Polygamous community grocery store shuttered again
Published November 19, 2012 6:02 pm
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
CMC Food Town (kind of a great name for a grocery store, actually) is closed again, apparently for good this time.
The Colorado City, Ariz., building also has a new sign proclaiming it a warehouse for Quality Wholesale Distributors, which appears to be another business owned by the Warren Jeffs-led Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
The store, along with the adjacent hardware store and RadioShack, actually shut its doors abruptly on Friday only to open again Saturday, apparently to sell off inventory.
It's still unclear exactly why the businesses were shuttered, though you can read a few possible reasons in my story here, but the closest grocery store is now more than 20 miles away.

Review: 'War Witch' is a genre benchmark
This image released by Item 7 shows Rachel Mwanza in a scene from "War Witch." (AP Photo/Item 7)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A grave 12-year-old African girl, abducted from her village by vicious armed rebels and forced to wage war as a child soldier, guides the viewer through the horrors of Canadian director Kim Nguyen's engrossing Oscar-nominated drama "War Witch." Managing to be neither sentimental nor sensationalistic, the film tells its story from the heart, and from the simple, straightforward viewpoint of young heroine Komona, warmly played by the talented Rachel Mwanza in her screen debut.
Certainly, watching a little girl live through events that far exceed most adults' nightmares is not easy, and only Komona's indomitable courage and will to survive make the journey bearable. As the off-screen narrator, she tells her unborn baby the story of how she became a child soldier. The real-life horrors she recounts fold into a smooth, dream-like screenplay that doesn't require a lot of on-screen blood and gore to describe what's going on. Despite its extreme cruelty, Komona's story is told with commendable delicacy and reserve, if those terms can be Login to read more

Internet Explorer 9 is outgreening rival browsers, including Chrome 10, Firefox 4.0, Opera 11 and Safari 5 according to tests performed by Microsoft.
The software that users run on their computer has a direct impact on power consumption, and it's obvious to see that the two are connected through hardware. The more efficient a program, the better it will leverage the underlying hardware.
And Internet Explorer 9 is at the top of the browser game when it comes down to environmental impact.
And before users shrug off the very idea of a lower carbon footprint browser, they should know that there are repercussions of being green that they absolutely do care about.
In optimizing IE9 to use less power than rival browser, the software giant is ensuring that customers get to use an efficient program which will not drain the battery as fast as some of the alternatives they might be opting for.
"For many customers, battery life is the most important gauge of power consumption. A typical laptop uses a 56 Watt hour battery, which means the laptop can consume 56 Watts worth of energy for one hour before running out," revealed Jason Weber, IE Performance Lead. "The fewer Watts the browser consumes the longer the laptop battery will last."
Microsoft's green tests for browsers involved measuring power consumption in six scenarios, the first of which involved a machine running just Windows 7 as the baseline.
Weber noted that additional scenarios covered both HTML4 and HTML5 sites:
"- Browsers navigated to about:blank (power consumption of the browser UI).
- Loading one of the world's most popular news Web sites (common HTML4 scenario).
- Running the HTML5 Galactic experience (representative of graphical HTML5 scenario).
- Fish swimming around the FishIE Tank (what test is complete without FishIE)."
A typical 56 Watt laptop running IE9 has a battery life of 3:45 hrs, the longest out of all browser, and outlasting the all browsers but by almost one hour, with the exception of Firefox 4.
Battery life was just 2:56 hrs with Chrome 10, 3:35 hrs with Firefox 4, 2:43 hrs with Opera 11 and 2:55 hrs with Safari 5.
"Browsers play a significant and important role in overall power consumption. The more efficiently a browser uses power the longer the battery will last in a mobile device, the lower the electricity costs, and the smaller the environment impact," Weber added.
How a browser takes advantage of the underlying hardware makes a significant impact on power consumption not to mention performance and user experience. As computing becomes more mobile, and as the HTML5 based Web becomes pervasive it's important that browsers make power consumption a focus."

It's still very much the beginning of summer, so I'm just getting into my grilling groove. I'm convinced the grill has some sort of magical power. You throw just about any type of food on there and the grill transforms it into something even more delicious than it would have tasted using traditional stovetop/oven cooking. Skewers of veggies and meat, bbq chicken, marinated steak, pizza, the list goes on! And let's not forget the all-American, honest to goodness burger – it's a classic for a reason. Burgers can be prepared in countless ways and can be easily enhanced depending on the toppings you select – take the burger above for instance. With a few twists on a typical cheeseburger, you've got yourself a Hawaiian Barbecue Burger! Let's dive in and I'll show you just how I created it.More...

Sometimes all a steak needs is some salt and pepper before it hits the grill. Other times, you want to infuse the meat with some additional flavors or want to impress your friends at a barbecue with some amped up dishes.

Ken Jennings Embraces Watson: 'I For One Welcome Our New Computer Overlords' (VIDEO)
It was an answer that would put him in the lead, but Watson was yet to answer. The correct answer was 'Who is Bram Stoker?' Jennings got it right, but added a paranthetical aside to the supercomputer on his left side.
(I for one welcome our new computer overlords)
Unfortunately, Watson wasn't programmed with a sense of humor, so it didn't join in with the laughter that erupted in the studio audience. But it was programmed with the right answer, as well as the confidence to make a hefty wager.
The two day totals put Watson in a commanding lead over Jennings, $77,147 to $24,000. Brad Rutter, the all-time money winner, came in third at $21,600.
And now we can say we've all seen a moment in history. When we are being brutalized under the savage yoke of our computer overlords, we can look to our bedraggled neighbour and say, "Remember when ... "

EAST PROVIDENCE – Police are beefing up their presence at Onna Moniz John-Central Avenue Playground and meeting with concerned neighborhood residents in the wake of a broad-daylight shooting that injured a 22-year-old man at the park last month.
In a report to the City Council Wednesday, Police Chief Joseph Tavares said the department has increased patrols at the park and is considering additional crime prevention measures. In addition, the first in a series of community meetings was held Oct. 10 between city officials and neighboring residents to discuss concerns about the park's safety.
Located between Central Avenue and McCausland Avenue in the Suttonville section of the city, the Onna Moniz John Park is described as a neighborhood park with plenty of shade trees, the Central Avenue playground for kids 5 to 12 years of age, and a basketball court.
The neighborhood has been on edge since the Sept. 29 shooting at the park, which is typically a quiet, safe place for city youth to recreate. The park, located a short distance from City Hall, is one of several in the East Providence Parks network, which includes 15 neighborhood parks and playgrounds.
Investigators say that on the day of the Sunday shooting an argument escalated between two groups of adult males during a pickup basketball game. One of the men left the basketball court and then returned with a gun. At that point, the 22-year-old victim attempted to run to his car at the corner of John and McCausland Streets when he was shot at least once in the abdomen.
The police already were in route to Central Avenue and John Street after people in the area alerted them about 11:45 a.m. that a fight had broken out, according to police.
When police arrived, they found the victim in his car, reportedly helped there by friends.
The man was treated at the scene by East Providence EMTs before being transported to Rhode Island Hospital, where he was treated and released.
Two brothers, Alexis Valdez, 18; and Eric Valdez, 24, were arrested at 85 Williams Ave. the following day after police executed a search warrant. Alexis Valdez faces charges of intent to commit murder, conspiracy, and using a firearm when committing a crime of violence. Eric Valdez faces charges of simple assault and conspiracy.
The community meeting held on Oct. 10 at City Hall to discuss the shooting was attended by Police Chief Joseph Tavares, Community Police Division Sergeant John Andrews, City Manager Peter Graczykowski and Councilman Helder Cunha. During those discussions, Tavares noted that the shooting was an isolated incident and that the park is normally considered safe.
"It was a very informative and productive meeting," Cunha said Wednesday. "The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the incident at the park, but what it turned into was an all-encompassing discussion on not just the park and that neighborhood, but what residents want to see happen throughout the entire city."
Still, he said, city officials agreed to beef up police presence at the park and to have officers engage with those youths who regularly use the park. In addition, the Department of Public Works will be posting additional signs stating the 9 p.m. curfew at the park.
"We've come up with some great ideas for the park, like maybe creating an ice rink, so we're hoping to have some more of these meetings to follow up on those ideas," Cunha said.
"This (shooting) was an isolated incident, but that doesn't mean we should just forget about it," he added. "This is a beautiful park and I think there are ways we can make it safer and even more community-oriented."

Pre-Processing Software
Auto-Parallelization & Auto-Vectorization Tools
VAST is a family of powerful software tools designed to automatically parallelize or vectorize code for improved application performance. All code restructuring can be done automatically at the click of a mouse. The original source files are retained in unmodified form.
VAST-F/Parallel can automatically convert serial code into code designed for multi-core or multi-processor systems and is ideal for use with compilers, which do not include auto-parallel capabilities. VAST-F/Parallel is also an excellent option for use with auto-parallelizing compilers (such as Absoft) to add additional optimizations and allow you to further explore multi-threaded opportunities. All code restructuring is done automatically and the original source files are retained in unmodified form. VAST-F/Parallel also provides OpenMP support.
VAST-F/Vector is designed to fully leverage the added performance capabilities of the hardware vector (AltiVec) units in IBM's POWER family of processors (G4/G5 Mac/PPC and Linux/POWER). On certain applications customers have reported up to 10x increase in application performance when utilizing Absoft Fortran and VAST-F/Vector.
VAST-F Parallel
More Features:
More Features:
Performance Gains on a Single CPU system:
VAST/Parallel's superscalar optimization technology can enhance the performance of certain types of code on standard, single CPU systems. If your programs spend large amounts of time in nested loops or operating on large arrays, a performance improvement of over 35% may be possible. On other types of code, VAST/Parallel may have little impact.
Performance Gains on Dual CPU System:
VAST/Parallel can automatically parallelize your code and also provides full OpenMP support to enable user-directed parallelization. VAST/Parallel contains sophisticated data dependency analysis technology to detect when optimized execution will be safe, has very advanced in-lining capabilities, and uses interprocedural analysis to optimize across procedure boundaries.
VAST/Parallel fully supports the OpenMP standard. For calculations where you know exactly what you want parallelized, OpenMp provides a portable way to specify this. VAST/Parallel supports all OpenMP directives/pragmas and functions, and provides diagnostics on incorrect use of the directives.
Special Features:
There are several ways to use VAST. If your program spends most of its time in clean loops, then VAST may be able to vectorize your program automatically. Often with C programs, depending on the programming style they are written it, a potential "data dependency" between pointers and arrays may prevent some vectorization, and some simple assertions from the user can improve the amount of vectorization. VAST can provide messages that help you understand what parts of your program have been successfully optimized and what parts have not been optimized.
Advanced users may
choose to write clean loops
for new applications and have VAST automatically generate AltiVec code,
rather than doing AltiVec coding by hand. Very advanced users may wish
to modify the VAST intermediate C code and change the order or nature
of vector operations that VAST generates.
bought the VAST auto parallelization tool to use with Absoft Fortran on
our Dual CPU machine. As a serial program our code ran quite quickly but
we wanted to leverage both processors. VAST automatically converted our
serial code into code designed for the dual processors. Before VAST the
run time was 18.5 seconds, after VAST it was reduced to 8.1 seconds!!

The competition, devised and underwritten by the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association (GNYADA), is endorsed by the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The contests take place in two stages. First, each team is assigned a new car that is rigged with multiple computer and mechanical malfunctions. The student team must then diagnose and repair the "bugs" within two hours.
Next, the students' theoretical knowledge is tested through a series of challenging one-hour workstation tests especially prepared by Snap-on, Hunter Engineering, Megatech, and the EPA.
At the match-up on Tuesday, February 10, the team from Thomas Edison High School placed third in the intensive competition lasting from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

FAIRFAX, Va. (WUSA9) --The forecast is so cold, some school districts are already announcing closures... and we could hear from many more soon.
Prince William County, Loudoun County, and Stafford County Schools in Virginia all already announced they're closing for students and teachers Tuesday... and Garrett and Allegany County Schools in Western Maryland are closing too.Prince George's is opening two hours late. But DC says it's opening on time.
"I'm really concerned," says Fairfax County Schools Chief Operating Officer Jeff Platenberg. He is the guy who decides if the nearly 200-thousand students in Fairfax, the region's largest school district, would be safer staying home.
Platenberg says it's "more than likely" he will close the schools if the forecasts stay on track. "I'm going to try and make that (decision) so parents can plan this evening. And if I'm going to make that call, it's probably going to be before 7 o'clock, maybe 8 o'clock this evening."
The biggest concern is frost bite or frost nip for children waiting for the bus... and the concern is even for the tens of thousands of students who walk as far as a mile or more to school.
Then there are the buses themselves. If it gets cold enough, fuel lines can freeze up.
And maintenance workers will be closely watching schools with older heating systems, and systems that break down more frequently.
"I plan on having my kid covered up so all you can see is his eyes," says mom Alice Edwards. "I'm driving, go in late, cause that's more important." And if they call school, cancel it? "I'll be so excited, and I know he'll be excited too."
In Minnesota, the governor closed schools statewide. But it's a whole lot colder there -- minus 20 and lower in Minneapolis.

Do You Need A Roof? Read These Ideas. [edit]
What have you done for your roof lately? Roofing requires knowledge, but there aren't a ton of places to learn about it. This article, however, can help. Here you will find some excellent tips on roofing that will set you off in the right direction.
Check out your roof thoroughly at least one time every year. Roofs normally suffer from significant damage during the months in winter and spring. For this reason, these are the times to pay close attention to your own roof.
Don't set step on your roof without properly securing your footing. It's critical, and you can lose balance when you haven't climbed onto a roof often; thousands are hurt or lose their life from falling each year.
If you have gotten in touch with a roofer but he cannot come out for several days, you may need a temporary fix. Get some heavy plastic material and nail it up. This isn't the best way to work with leaks, however, it works in a pinch.
Make sure that the roofer you hire has experience. Ask loved ones for any referrals they may have. Hiring a contractor who is not properly licensed and experienced could cost you a lot.
Insurance is crucial in this line of work. If the roofer has no insurance and the property gets damaged, you have to pay for it. You shouldn't simply ask the contractor if he has insurance and take his word on it. Instead, request proof of insurance so that you can see for yourself whether they have current insurance.
Contractors with workers tend to be cheaper than those who work alone. The more people working on the roof, the quicker the job can be completed. If you are hiring a single roofer, be sure that you aren't overcharged for labor.
When selecting your roofer, ask how long their business has been open. Businesses with a longer history tend to be more reputable and understand how to satisfy their customers. A company that hasn't been in operation for too long may very well be run by scammers who will take your money and run.
Use your hose to spray a leaky roof. This can help you find where the leak is. It is simple and much cheaper than hiring someone to check for you.
Never cut corners when buying roofing materials. Even if you can get materials at cheaper prices, think about how much that will end up costing you if the materials you purchased get worn out in a record amount of time.
Keeping your roof clear of sticks, leaves and excess debris can keep the quality up. These materials can cause water to pool and it will damage your roof. Sitting water on your roof can lead to rotting, leaks and a huge repair bill.
Do not allow the large amount of information frighten you away. The article above should help you with many of your roofing issues. No matter if you keep learning or rely on existing material, you will be all set. Just be sure that you remember these tips!

Much Needed Changes to VA Disability Ratings
Much needed changes are being implemented by the Department of Veterans Affairs for disabled veterans. These three disability rating revisions are the first changes in, hopefully, a long line of changes for veterans. Disability ratings are the ratings that determine the amount of compensation a veteran receives. The new revisions will be implemented immediately for all new claims.
The first new change has been in the works since January and will be changing how the VA Department evaluates traumatic brain injury (TBI). Traumatic brain injuries can cause a wide scope of issues, including amnesia, loss of consciousness, pain, headaches, speech and hearing problems, decreased attention and memory, as well as irritability, depression, slower thinking, sleep difficulties and social interaction issues. The new regulation will cover temporary and prolonged effects of TBI, including mental impairment, physical impairment and emotion and behavioral impairments.
It is quite common for veterans to return home with blast injuries from roadside bombings and other explosions in Afghanistan and Iraq. Over 6,000 veterans have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries from these explosions, from mild impairment to severe trauma. The new revision will only apply to new disability claims, but the VA has stated that they will allow reevaluation in some cases, although they will not approve retroactive benefits for those who have already been rated. Hopefully this new revision will help veterans and their families receive the compensation they deserve for their service.
The second new change is to allow Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), sometimes referred to as 'Lou Gehrig's Disease', to be a service-connected disability. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that is not entirely understood, but is thought to be caused by exposure to heavy metals, neurotoxins and certain viruses. Once diagnosed, ALS usually progresses rapidly. This new rule will apply to all new claims, pending claims and those currently being appealed.
The final change by the VA Department for disability claims is for evaluating multiple scars caused by service-connected burns. This new rule applies to all new claims.
Hopefully these changes are just the tip of the iceberg for the Veterans Affairs Department.

The Mentalist gets a full season
The Mentalist, the Tuesday night Simon Baker drama, has just been given the green light for a full season. The show is averaging 15.4 million viewers an episode, which is great considering it's in its first season and there are 22 other police procedurals on the network right now.
But The Mentalist is a bit different than those shows. This show runs completely on the personality of Baker, even if he does have a team of investigators that he is part of. The show is really counting on Baker to sell this character, to be charming and intelligent and funny and all that. Plots and scripts can take a show to great places, but if the lead character doesn't work it can really tilt a show out of balance. Baker makes this character work.
The show has been compared to Psych, but it's a bit more adult than that, and certainly darker (the family of Patrick Jane, Baker's character, was killed by a serial killer and his arrogance and humor helps mask his pain). It fits into the CSI/Criminal Minds family, but at the same time its own vibe. It has actually made me forget that Fringe is even on at the same time. Sorry!

"Matching tags I got with my sons invitations. Was surprised as I was expecting something bigger but a in actual fact nice and small. These a stickers and il be using them on the kids party/loot bags."
"I was able to personalize these gift tags w/ the full date of the shower and then used them as sticker's to make keepsake book marks for my sister's guests! (we did a book-themed party since we didn't know the baby's gender of the baby!) Everyone loved them. We also used the stickers as cupcake toppers! We stuck them on different colored cardstock and cut them out, leaving just about an 1/8 inch edge and stuck them in our cupcakes - perfect complimentary shower decorations! Oh - we changed the graphic from the heart to the question-mark so it would match the invitations. So simple to make that request and Tiny Prints called and sent proofs showing me what it would look like both ways. So professional and courteous. I will definitely order from them again!"
"nice & modern. this was hip and trendy without going overboard. The colors printed nicely. I chose the blue. Definately recommend!"
"I ordered these stickers on a whim. I ended up using them on the birthday favors! Everyone got a bottle of wine wrapped up in foil, tied up with ribbon and I put a sticker on each one!!! It was PERFECT!!!! Everyone raved how creative I was!!"

I already posted a Wanted ad in the classifieds, but in case not everyone checks there... I'm looking for a V1 Fargo for a rigid 29er I'm envisioning. Ideally, black, 55mm rack, with a good amount of steerer tube left... but let me know what you have.
My project idea: I'm trying to recreate the excellent handling I had with the OS Blackbuck, with another frame. The Blackbuck is basically a typical 29er geo, with a short fork and higher offset. The result was laser sharp handling. Why not just buy a Blackbuck and/or Blackbuck fork? The traditionalist in me doesn't like the curvy seatstays, and I like the utility of the Fargo fork over the Blackbuck fork.
