Albany Med Surgeons Educate Public During Skin Cancer Awareness Month
May 6, 2014 - Albany , NY
ALBANY, N.Y., May 6, 2014 ‹ For Skin Cancer Awareness Month, Albany Medical Center specialists are working to educate the public about skin cancer, a highly preventable condition that is now the most common form of cancer in the United States, beating out cancers of the breast, prostate, lung and colon.
Over the past year, Albany Med pathologists evaluated 40,000 specimens (tissue biopsies) from 25,000 patients and found that more than 70% were skin cancer or premalignant.
Albany Med surgical oncologists and reconstructive surgeons are using the ABCs to help people recognize the warning signs:
A. Asymmetry: If you draw a line through the mole and the two halves do not match, it's a warning sign that something could be wrong.
B. Border: The borders of early melanoma tend to be uneven. The edges may be scalloped or notched.
C. Color: A variety of colors, shades of brown, tan or black is another warning signal. Melanoma may also become red, blue or some other color.
D. Diameter: Melanomas are usually larger than the size of the eraser on your pencil (1/4 inch or 6 mm), but they may be smaller when first detected.
E. Evolving: Any change in size, shape, color, elevation, or another trait, or any new symptom such as bleeding, itching or crusting indicates a problem.
"Conducting a self-examination is something everyone should do at least once a year if not more often," said Ash Patel M.D., a board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon who specializes in reconstruction following the excision of skin malignancies. "Any changes, even those that appear to be insignificant could be an early indicator that something is going wrong."
"Women under the age of 39 and men over the age of 50 are most at risk of developing skin cancer," said Ankesh Nigam M.D., a surgical oncologist at Albany Medical Center. "Furthermore, if you've sustained more than five sunburns your chance for melanoma doubles. That's why we adamantly urge folks to use sunscreen every day, especially now that we're in the warmer months."
Matthew DiCaprio M.D., the region's only fellowship-trained musculoskeletal oncologist, says he encourages people to schedule an appointment with their primary doctor or dermatologist immediately if they suspect something might be wrong. "Just as it is with every other form of cancer, early detection and treatment is essential in increasing the chances of a positive outcome."

A southern delicacy that is simple to make, and makes a great addition to any meal. Ingredients include sugar, salt, bacon fat, corn flour, and of course, some hot, boiling-ass water. Grannies and Nannies tend to make the best batches.
Thanksgiving at Granny's house was the shit! She had some of the best hot water cornbread I've eaten all year!

Sit with me a spell out on the back porch
(Page 2 of 2)
The builders might as well save their money. America may reinvent itself, but it cannot resurrect a time gone by. Architects may erect nostalgic wraparound porches in darling Disneyesque communities, but there undoubtedly will be more Stairmasters than rockers on those porches, and more cellphones, TVs and iPads than pitchers of lemonade.
There is such a thing as porch culture, and I advocate strict adherence to its traditions. You simply can't fake an old-time porch — or porch time. It has to be relaxed and unhurried. You can't just sit on a porch for 15 minutes before rushing to the train and expect to be getting even a taste of the real thing.
In the evening, if we sit outside, we light candles. This has led to a remarkable phenomenon, which I refer to as porch therapy. In the glow of the candles, as the sun fades and the moon rises, people who sit on our porch are given to personal reverie. The mood invites intimacy, and we have heard — and told — our share of secrets there.
The essence of porch culture has been captured eloquently in many novels, often Southern, including "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood." Rebecca Wells writes of four girls growing up in Louisiana in the late 1930s, and at one point she describes their porch life:
"An afternoon of iced tea and idleness. Those Ya-Yas aren't going anywhere … They are lazy together. This is comfort. This is joy … Not one wears a watch. This porch time is not planned. Not penciled into a Day Runner. … People took porches and porch time for granted back then. Everybody had porches; they were nothing special. An outdoor room halfway between the world of the street and the world of home. … And in the evening when the sun went down, the fireflies would light up over by the camellias, and that little nimbus of light would lull the Ya-Yas even deeper into porch reveries. Reveries that would linger in their bodies even as they aged."

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Burglar alarms are meant to protect the family. But what about the family pet?
Police shot a 9-year-old Border Collie, Gidget, twice. It happened last Saturday in the Chevy Chase neighborhood. Officers responded to a burglar alarm, accidently triggered by a house guest.
Gidget's owners Gary Tavenner and his mother Linda, say the bullets hit their dog's leg and bladder.
Linda says the alarm company called her cell phone. When she called back, she told them it was a false alarm. She wanted the police called off, because she was worried about her dog.
"They asked me if I wanted them to stop the police, and I said yes, because they'll kill my dog," she says.
Commander Matthew Klein says the officers may have arrived before that message got through.
"When he entered the back lot, he encountered a dog that was running towards him. The dog was acting in an aggressive manner by firing two shots at the dog," Klein says.
Linda and Gary say they believe Gidget may have been running away from the officer when she was shot.
"We can't prove anything, but from the shots, it looks like she was going back into it, not out of the basement," Linda said.
The entire incident is being investigated. The officer that shot Gidget is still on duty.
Gary and Linda are focusing on Gidget, and the hospital bill.
"Right now, the bill is topping $19,000," Gary said.
The District's Department of Risk Management is considering paying the bill.
Gary and Linda doesn't want something like this to happen to anyone else's pet. They are encouraging others to contact their alarm company and let them know about pets in home. That way police can be notified in the event of an emergency.

Update: We asked GaymerCon co-founder Benjamin Williams what the next stretch goal would be for the event and what organizers planned to do with the money if they manage to raise it before the deadline:
"Our next stretch goal is 60K, which is to bring a big name geek celebrity "Boss of Honor" to appear at the show," said Williams in response. "Any money we raise above and beyond will go towards just making it that much slicker, more awesome, and full of the things people want at gaming conventions. We'll have to come up with more specific stretch goals if we get there of course. Additionally, the more money we raise, the likelier we are to draw the attention of big gaming companies and convince them to come and engage with their LGBTQ customer base."
Also of note is a quote from Penny Arcade's Robert Khoo in the same Facebook post, where he points out the high cost of running a serious Con:
"Their Kickstarter just hit the midway point, and yes, even though it's 200% of their goal, I can tell you that in order to run a successful show, they're going to need more than what they're asking for. Kick in if you can!"
Original Story: Robert Khoo of Penny Arcade voiced his moral support for GaymerCon's fundraising efforts on Facebook today, much to the delight of organizers of the event.
"Frankly, I love it, and I think you should love it too," said Khoo about the event. "The point [of PAX] was to create a fun show that we thought would add value to the community – the fact that other shows emphasizing specific groups within that subculture (a sub-subculture?) to me is pretty natural and healthy. RTX, GeekGirlCon, and now Gaymercon? ALL GREAT in my opinion. The latter two in particular should hit a nerve with all geeks – we've all been part of the underrepresented, overbullied and not-getting-a-fair-shake crowd."
"We are honored that one of the people who created PAX thinks our idea for a convention that is a safe space for gay gamers has merit and that he supports us," said Benjamin Williams, Co-Founder of GaymerCon.
GaymerCon is a two-day event that hopes to meld geek and game culture with LGBT culture. The Kickstarter has already surpassed its initial fundraising goal of $25,000 and has surpassed a secondary "stretch goal" of $50,000. As of this writing the campaign has raised $50,577 with 15 more days to go.
In addition to support for a veritable who's who in the gaming community, several organizations and individuals have stepped up to help the fledgling con with donations of merchandise and services to be used as incentives to raise more money. Those who have pledged to help GaymerCon include Penny Arcade, Mega64, 2 Player Productions, Rooster Teeth, James Portnow of Rainmaker Games, Emerald City Comic Con, and Kris Straub.
For more information about the event and to pledge your support, check out the Kickstarter page.

Three TFF members pre-fished the river late Friday. Due to the lack of rain the generation canal had very little flow. Most of the rocks in the upper stretch were exposed, leaving pockets of fishable water. There were some small Kentucky bass and bluegill willing to take flies. We fished until dark, and then made our way to the campsite, TBARS. (Toledo Bend Army Recreation Site)
At 6am a total of six Texas FlyFishers showed up at Tak-A-Paw, coffee in hand, at 6am. We quickly transloaded everything onto Danny's van and headed to the river. Danny is the Owner/operator of Tak-A-Paw Expeditions. We had six anglers and 3 canoes, a perfect fit. Skip and his grandson Tyler paired up in canoe 1 with Greg and Eric teamed up in canoe 2, leaving Renè stuck in Canoe 3 with Puck.
Once we got to the river it was time to unload out gear and get the canoes to the water. Launching the canoes took on a new meaning for us on this adventure. We pull up to what looks like a ladder made out of PVC pipe and wood laid out at a 45 angle from the top of the cliff overlooking the river. As a couple of us made our way down the trial, Danny told us, "One of you stop there, " as Renè got the bottom of the ladder-looking-thing "the other go all the way to the river, but stand to the side." He then pulled a canoe over to the top and gently lowered it down the slide. Since he only had about 10 feet of lead he was soon out of rope. "Here it comes" Danny says, as he lets go of the rope, and the canoe comes barreling down the slide, across the grass, through the mud, only to barely stop as the guy at the bottom makes a made grab at the rope and the canoe gently slides into the river. This proceed is repeated 2 more times.
Finally the canoes are in the water, the Texas FlyFishers had loaded their gear and in less than 5 minutes later calls of "Fish on!" were heard.
The plan was to launch at the generation canal and make our way downstream to the first bridge. That is about ten miles on the water. Ten miles in 12 hours sounded real good in the planning stages. It took 3 hours to get out of the generation canal, which is only ¾ of a mile long. The fish were hitting top water flies regularly.
We were 4 hours into the float trip we made it 2 ½ miles to the rocks. This is the only truly fast water we were to see all day. Rather than take a chance on the unpredictable nature of the river in this low state we walked the canoes down the stretch. This is where Tyler killed one of his sandals, leaving him barefooted for the rest of the trip. 7 ½ miles to go. Plenty of time, we had 8 hours to go before sundown.
Some of the best waters were the shallower stretches that had cover. Stumps in the middle of the river were quickly a favorite, even though some of us kept throwing flies at the shorelines. The fish caught were small, most bass measuring under 14" with a handful of yellow sunfish and bluegill thrown in for variety. One gar was hook, but not for long, as it destroyed the fly, and quickly gained its freedom.
Wade fishing was comfortable with the sandy bottom and moving waters. Many times the lead canoe would stop to fish and the rest of the pack would join in the fishing the area. There was plenty of room, and the fish didn't seem to care how many flies drifted overhead.
We made it to the bridge about 1830, worn out and already talking about "next time." Danny arrived shortly after we got the canoes to the top of the hill with the van and trailer. A quick trip back to Tak-A-Paw and we were once again ready to transload our gear.
Everyone caught fish. A variety of flies were successful. No white bass or striped bass were caught this trip, but I have hopes for later in the year.

Mick Foley talks about son
When it was revealed that Dewey Foley was hired by WWE to be a part of the creative department, Mick Foley took some heat from the internet wrestling community because they thought that he had been campaigning to get his son a plush job. Mick took to social media to reveal that his son was actually hired two months ago so his latest rants had nothing to do with the hiring.

Ricardo Rodriguez training
As some of you may already know, Ricardo Rodriguez left WWE because the company refused to give him a chance as a full time in ring performer. He has since worked in Mexico, Puerto Rico and the independent wrestling circuit in the United States in such a capacity. Well, it has now been reported that Rodriguez has accepted a job in India where he is now helping Great Khali train new students.

Tyson Kidd on Total Divas
Regardless of what he chooses to do with his career in professional wrestling, Tyson Kidd will more than likely have that life changing moment be featured heavily on an upcoming season of Total Divas. If he retires, then the producers will focus on his transition from being a wrestler to working a normal job. If he decides to come back, then the focus will be on his safety in the ring.

Stephanie McMahon gets help
As some of you may already know, the official job title for Stephanie McMahon is Chief Branding Officer. She is about to get some help. WWE has created a new vice president position, and that person will be serving directly under Stephanie. The main job responsibility will be to form strategic alliances and partnerships with other organizations that will mutually benefit World Wrestling Entertainment.

David Von Erich horses
A lot of wrestling fans know of David Von Erich because of the long and rich history of his family. The guy was once big enough that he was pegged to become the NWA World Heavyweight Champion. However, what a lot of people don't know about is that Von Erich loved to raise and sell horses. He actually made quite the fortune in that industry. Professional wrestling was a passion and not a needed job for him.

Bram being deported
Yesterday, Bram shocked the world of professional wrestling when he was arrested for domestic violence. To their credit, TNA did not immediately fire him, citing the need to let the justice system do their job. The belief is that he will eventually be given a release because the publicity is just too negative in the long term. There are also talks that he could be sent back to England because of his criminal record.

Matt Striker makes history
People are always advised to find something that they love to do so that it does not feel like a job. Matt Striker is someone that took that advice and has done some pretty amazing things. The commentator recently revealed that he is the first man in the history of professional wrestling to call Wrestlemania, Wrestle Kingdom and Triplemania.

Releasing Mahabali Shera
When it comes to job security within TNA, Mahabali Shera is ranked near the top of the list. That might surprise some within the internet wrestling community, but it makes sense from a business standpoint. The company signed a massive television contract in India, so they are going to want his presence around for as long as possible. The deal runs out in 2022.

Bill DeMott defends himself
Even though the internet wrestling community has already sentenced him, Bill DeMott continues to defend himself against allegations of bullying. He stated that he was not trying to break his students. DeMott felt that he was doing his job by trying to prepare the students for what they would be facing when they make it to WWE.

Kazarian in WWE
During a recent interview, Frankie Kazarian showed just how mature of a person that he is. When asked about his short stint in WWE, he admitted that the reason why he did not do well there was because he was not mentally mature enough for the job. He stated that he was not smart enough to realize that wrestling is a business and not just about the performance.

I use this product for day wear. I love the smell of this cologne. Its fresh and citrus like at the same time. I find it doesnt hold its scent throughout the day but that is not a very big issue anyway since I sit at a desk.
This will be good for men who want a great smelling cologne without the overpowering after smell.

WHEN for love it was fain of
The wild heart was chidden,
When the white limbs were clothed
And the beauty was hidden;
For the scorn that was done to
The least of her graces,
The Mother veiled over
And hid from our faces
The high soul of nature,
The deep and the wonder,
Her towers up in heaven,
And the fairyland under.
The Mother then whispered,
"The wrong done by thee
To the least limb of beauty
Was done unto me."

Is it possible to set zimbra this way:
if i receive mail on let's say emali address email@example.com, but i don't have this address in zimbra, to deliver it to let's say email@example.com and not to send that mail back to recipient. So all emails send to non existing mail accounts will be delivered to one specific mailbox? I'm not sure, how is it called in english.

Hi everyone,
In a span of 4 hours, from 10 am to 1 pm, Gene Bauer and I, at times, observed some overwhelming hawk migration from the parking lot of River Bend Nature Center. In that time, we counted no less than 790 Broad-winged Hawks moving south. The biggest kettle I counted contained at least 183 birds. I would guess this to be a very conservative estimate as there were times when we got distracted from counting to observe something unusual. I know at one point, I totally gave up on two very large kettles of Broadies and didn't relocate them when I re-tried.
Other things were also moving today:
106 Turkey Vultures (one group of 43 birds)
19 Sharp-shinned Hawks
97 Blue Jays (I only counted those that were migrating south in groups)
Gene had a Swainson's Hawk which I missed.
In addition to watching raptors, we also checked the sod farms on Hwy. 60 & Ibson Ave where I had previously reported Buff-breasted Sandpipers. There, we had 3 American Golden Plovers. (No BBSA's)
Also of note, we had 8 species of warbler including this season's first Yellow-rumped and Palm Warblers.
1 Brown Creeper
And several times I heard Pine Siskins flying over.
Good birding!

The American Academy of Pediatrics says parents who want to reduce their kids' exposure to pesticides may seek out organic produce. But the group notes that organics aren't necessarily safer or more nutritious than conventional foods.
The group says science hasn't proven that eating pesticide-free food makes people any healthier.
The report was published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics and echoes a Stanford University study released last month.

The details of the process by which British laws gain royal approval have been revealed after a long-fought Freedom of Information Act request was finally granted, despite considerable attempts by the Government to block their publication.
The disclosures were first published in The Guardian.
The process of Royal Assent has existed for almost a thousand years; however, since 11 March 1708 no monarch has refused to give their assent for a bill approved by Parliament, leading to the impression that Royal Assent is simply a 'rubber stamp' to the wishes of Parliament.
The latest disclosure shows that the Queen and heir Prince Charles have been consulted on legislative matters, including ID cards, changes to paternity pay and the reform of higher education. The document also shows that in some cases the royals have been asked for specific approval including in matters relating to Crown interests and the Duchy of Cornwall.
The Freedom of Information Act request shows that the Queen approved changes to child welfare in 2007, National Insurance in 2004 and paternity pay in 2006. In each case the move to seek specific royal approval was justified because the changes would affect the royal household.
The legislation permitting civil partnerships was also put before the Queen, as in her role as head of the Church of England the changes were likely to "bind her".
One of the more shocking revelations is that the Queen did not give her consent to a Bill in 1999 that would have seen the power to declare war transferred from the monarch to Parliament. The Private Members Bill did not have government support at the time and therefore would not have become law anyway; however, it shows that the Queen does play an active role when asked to approve new laws.
The solicitor who made the Freedom of Information Act request is John Kirkhope; he expressed his surprise at the level of royal involvement.
"It is a small number of bills but I find it extraordinary that they have been consulted on things like National Insurance and children's rights," he said.
Buckingham Palace said it was a longstanding convention that the monarch of the day offer formal consent for any bill that affects the interests of the Crown.

Yoink! Sea lion steals fish right out of posing fisherman's hands (video)
Neptune's revengeSomething a bit light to start the week: These fishermen were posing for a photo with their catch when a sneaky sea lion decided that these slow, stationary humans might as well be offering the fish on a silver platter. It all happens so fast that even the pelican that was standing inches away from where the sea lion popped up didn't have time to react.
See for yourself:

In the inner city an ancient Indian martial art is providing inner peace
In the inner city an ancient Indian martial art is providing inner peace
In the inner city an ancient Indian martial art is providing inner peace
Kalaripayattu or 'Kalari' as it is commonly known, focuses on combative self defence as well as emotional and physical strength and traces back to 11th century India.
One of the few teachers of kalari in Australia, Alana Gregory says she fell in love with it after years of devotion to yoga.
"There was a woman who was from the school (where) I now study and she did a short demonstration on kalari and I saw it and I just knew straight away I had some affinity with the movement and the practice, so from Los Angeles I travelled to India (to study it)," she says.
"I planned to stay at the academy for maybe three weeks but I ended up staying four months."
Alana Gregory in kalari pose, ABC International: Daniel Hamilton
After being immersed in training, Alana returned to Adelaide and began teaching, and while class numbers have been small, the calming nature of the martial art seems to be gelling with urban lifestyles.
"The feedback from people varies, but after people practice kalari they always feel energized and also grounded, says Alana.
"Most people living in cities these days, there's so much going on, [they are] constantly bombarded, and after kalari ... you feel relaxed and energized," she says.
Student Ross McGachey practising movement in class, ABC International: Daniel Hamilton
Students are finding the benefits of kalari include gaining a cultural connection to India.
"It certainly gives a picture of a certain aspect of Indian culture, obviously it's far from the entirety of it - movement and philosophy is only a small part of what Indian culture is about, says Ross McGachey, "but I think it gives you an understanding of that aspect at least."
"It's really great for flexibility so I've had a lot of benefits from that," he says.
For Juju Haifawi, the mental and physical aspects are a winning combination. "I love kalari because it's really grounding, it makes you feel very strong, centered and you build strength quickly so it's very effective," she says.
The ancient physical art form could be the next big thing in modern fitness.

Public and Private Families: An Introduction: stars based on 1 user reviews.
Nationally recognized for its sound scholarship and balanced approach and written by one of the leading authorities in the field, this text examines the family through two lenses: the familiar private family in which we live most of our personal lives, and the public family in which we, as adults, deal with broader societal issues such as the care of the elderly, the increase in divorce, and childbearing outside of marriage. The book looks at intimate personal concerns, such as whether to marry, as well as societal concerns, such as governmental policies that affect families. Distinctive chapters - Chapter 9, "Children and Parents;" Chapter 10, "Older Persons and Their Families;" and Chapter 14, "The Family, the State and Social Policy" - examine issues of great current interest, such as income assistance to poor families, the effects of out-of-home childcare, and the costs of the Social Security and Medicare programs.

Mobile GPU Floating Point Accuracy Variances
When coding GPU shaders for multiple target platforms, it is important to consider the differences of the hardware implementations and their impact. This is especially true when creating user interfaces, as the use of shaders for visual enhancement or experience augmentation is crucial and cannot vary between OS platforms or devices.
One of the key differentiators between mobile GPU families is the capability of the computational units. These differences are normally seen with handling of code complexity or visual artifacts created by the rendering schemes, especially with tile-based systems. These can sometimes be overcome using simpler shader algorithms or creative approaches to the geometry constructs being used.
However, the more significant contributor to the quality of the shader output lies in the accuracy of the floating point calculations within the GPU. This contrasts greatly from CPU computational accuracy and variances are common between the different mobile GPU implementations from ARM Mali, Imagination Technology, Vivante, and others.
Being able to compare the accuracy of various GPU models allows us to prepare for the lowest accuracy units to ensure the shader output is still acceptable while optimizing for incredible visual effects from the better performing hardware. The You.i Engine makes direct use of this information to ensure a consistent look and feel, a key differentiator in the user interface market.
In a perfect world, only one reference implementation would be needed. This is simply not viable with today's hardware. At worst, we may need to do several implementations, targeting the various accuracy levels, to ensure a common visual effect and consistent user experience. If calculation errors occur when outside the usable range of the floating point units, then we must account for that to prevent undesirable effects.
Let's compare some current mobile devices using some simple fragment shader code:
precision highp float;
uniform vec2 resolution;
void main( void )
float x = ( 1.0 – ( gl_FragCoord.x / resolution.x ));
float y = ( gl_FragCoord.y / resolution.y ) * 26.0;
float yp = pow( 2.0, floor(y) );
float fade = fract( yp + fract(x) );
if(fract(y) < 0.9)
gl_FragColor = vec4( vec3( fade ), 1.0 );
gl_FragColor = vec4( 0.0 );
This example will calculate a varying fade level from bright white down to black over 26 iterations on the screen. The further down the screen the smooth blended line goes, the more precision we have in the floating point unit.
For reference, we will use a desktop rendering of the shader, for our purposes this sample from a laptop nVidia GeForce GT 630M is more than enough:
Our Benchmark:
If GPUs were capable of infinite resolution, we would see 26 horizontal bars that gradually change from white to black. Any deviation in that pattern is considered a computational error in the GPU.
Here we see that the nVidia GeForce GT 630M has a lot of floating point accuracy and easily achieves 16 solid bars before any degradation, slowly truncating after that. This is a typical result – it has a very capable floating point unit and therefore, this serves as a good comparison benchmark.
The drift from the left edge indicates error in calculation (areas that should be white are black), which would translate into undesirable visual glitches if not accounted for.
Device: Acer Iconia Tab A700 | GPU: nVidia Tegra 3 T30
It is immediately apparent that the range of the floating point unit is quite less than the benchmark. We see about 8 bars before degradation and a linear loss of accuracy after that. This result is acceptable, but low end for mobile when compared to the Huawei MediaPad below. The lack of drift from the left edge indicates negligible error in calculation, which means we can use the full range of this device.
Device: Kobo ARC | GPU: Imagination Technology SGX544
The floating point unit is quite good, achieving about 14 lines before loss of usable range – very close to the 16 lines of our reference. The loss of accuracy after the point is error prone, as it can be seen by the artifacts in the image. This emphasizes the need for preventing calculations.
Device: Huawei MediaPad | GPU: Vivante GC4000
This is an almost perfect result; very similar to our benchmark and very linear in degradation. No issues here: lots of usable range; no artifact errors. A great mobile reference platform.
Device: Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 | GPU: ARM Mali-400 MP4
The floating point unit performs the worst of all the devices tested, achieving only 5 lines before loss of usable range. Luckily, there are no large error artifacts in the image, so at least the poor accuracy is not compounded further by erroneous results.
Device: ZTE N970 | GPU: Qualcomm Adreno 225
Here, we have an almost perfect result, very similar to our benchmark and almost identical tot he Huawei MediaPad. Again, a great mobile reference platform.
Device: Samsung Nexus 10 | GPU: ARM Mali T-604
Here we have a decent result, though not as strong as the GC4000 or Adreno 225. The results are nearly the same as our reference platform, showing the same potential error from the drift from the left edge.
To see the effect of these computational differences, or to try some on your own device to examine performance, check out the following:After comparing the output across different GPU chipsets we immediately see the difference in performance and usable range of the floating point units. It is important to note that this is not related to device performance or even GPU implementation differences by different manufacturers – it is simply the computation range of the GPU itself. Most comparisons are done through tests of pure performance: triangles per second or texel fill rate. Although these numbers are valuable, they do not tell the full story of the GPU's true capability. When applied to natural user interfaces, these computational differences are even more important since, unlike games, there is no tolerance for any visual artifacts.

Whose plan: ours or God's?
He planned to divorce her quietly. What a good guy. He's been told his fiancé, Mary, is pregnant. But he's not the father. But the law provides him with an out. But rather than publicly humiliating Mary, Joseph decides to break it off quietly.
Based on my various readings, most men, at the time, would have called the engagement off. The only question was how best to do it.
His plan was sound. He felt humiliated and didn't quite understand the miraculous nature of the situation. I take it Joseph wasn't fully aware of his lineage or the significant part he was to play in being the second last in the line that began with Abraham (Matthew 1:17)Read More
Living a Dependent Life
I learnt independence at an early age. I got myself around by walking and catching public transport (as early as 10 years old), and entertained myself in my own worlds of sports and stories.
My two brothers and sister similarly were very independent growing up. Even though we'd come together regularly, we all cherished our alone time.
I've found it interesting my two boys are very dependent on others for entertainment and activity. Now that isn't a bad thing at all. However, I've often struggled with their dependence and prided myself on my ability to get things done by myself.

"The Power of Weakness", Keith Giles
I received this 100 page ebook as part of a giveaway as a result of buying Frank Viola's new book. Gee, I hope the other gifts I downloaded are as good as this one.
Pastor Giles takes us through the stories of key Biblical figures: Jesus, Solomon, Moses, Samson, David, Gideon to name a few. He demonstrates using Scripture how they only "succeeded" by emptying themselves to fully surrender their lives to God. Samson, for example, was only powerful because the Holy Spirit equipped him with incredible strength.
This book comes at an important time for the church where I believe we may have forgotten this critical aspect of faith. God can only use us when we let Him by depending on Him. All of these Biblical people were weak so they depended on the Father to provide the power.
Well written with strong Biblical references. My only suggestion for improvement would be if we saw some modern day examples of this phenomenon. I get the concept and want to do it, but I'm still not quite sure how to. What do I need to do when I wake up each day to be "weak" and therefore depend on Jesus?
Highly recommended – 4/5Read More

I'm a tad computer illiterate, and I'm trying to understand how to install Zimbra to my actual website.
I downloaded the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 .tgz file, extracted it, then uploaded all those files to my directory, but what do I do know?
Is there no installer/wizard? Does it matter that I'm on a shared host?
Thank you in advance for any help!

Brits form coalition
Politics | Conservative David Cameron takes 10 Downing Street
Conservatives led by David Cameron will form a coalition government with Liberal Democrats led by Nick Clegg. The announcement came after the 43-year-old Cameron arrived at 10 Downing Street, having been confirmed as prime minister by Queen Elizabeth Tuesday evening.
The announcement came five days after the May 6 elections resulted in a hung parliament, and both the Conservatives, or Tories, and the ruling Labour Party fought over Liberal Democrats to form a coalition-Great Britains first such government since 1945. Crowds lined the streets of London leading to Whitehall, where government offices are located, to get a glimpse of Cameron and his wife, who is expecting a baby in September, as they made their way to their new residence.
Cameron told the crowd, "Her Majesty the queen has asked me to form a new government, and I have accepted." He paid tribute to outgoing Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown and then said, "We have some deep and pressing problems, a huge deficit, deep social problems, and a political system in need of reform." He said he aimed to form "a proper and full coalition" with Cleggs Liberal Democrats because "that is the way to provide this country with the strong, the stable, and the good and decent government that we need so badly." The two sides will "put party differences aside," said Cameron, adding that they will work for the good of the nation.
Already that has meant painful-and perhaps ultimately unpopular-compromises. Liberal Democrats will have up to six cabinet seats, and Clegg will serve as deputy prime minister. They have successfully forced Conservatives to back off giving tax breaks to married couples, along with tax cuts on the UKs inheritance tax, as part of tax reforms Tory parliamentarians successfully campaigned on. Conservatives say under the agreement they will press forward with new immigration restrictions and stepped-up security measures.
Clegg seized the opportunity to hold talks with Labour over the weekend, something pundits say was more a tactic to wrest compromises out of Camerons Conservatives than a real opportunity for coalition building.
While the Liberals seemed to have much more in common with the Labour Party, what became known as a "LibLab" coalition had no chance to materialize once it became clear that Labours Scottish nationalist and its northern members would not go along. They oppose voting reforms favored by the Liberals and Londons Labour reps. "If there wasnt so much at stake for the country it would be rather amusing, in a way," noted Scottish journalist and Wall Street Journal Europe deputy editor Iain Martin. "The metropolitan political class has been a taught a lesson and reminded of the perils of choosing to talk only to itself."
But it wasnt only Labour learning a lesson. Tories also miscalculated, according to Martin: "The Tories didnt think this through, or consult widely enough before opening their negotiations." Camerons team tried to outflank Labour by offering Liberal Democrats major concessions that in the end werent needed to woo it into a Conservative coalition.
Whatever the cost, a Cameron-Clegg partnership will be tested early: Britain faces record high deficits-the largest in the 27-member European Union-at a time when Greece and other EU nations are themselves on the verge of financial collapse.

The Diversity Dictionary is intended to be used as an educational tool. There are many applicable definitions to these terms as well as numerous other terms which may not be represented here. This list was not designed to serve as an official Purchase College statement or definition. If you would like to suggest a revision or addition to the Diversity Dictionary, please contact us
Ableism: Prejudice and/or discrimination against people with mental or physical disabilities.
Active Racism: Actions which have as their stated or explicit goal the maintenance of the system of racism and the oppression of those in the targeted racial groups. People who participate in active racism advocate the continued subjugation of members of the targeted groups and protection of "the rights" of members of the agent group. These goals are often supported by a belief in the inferiority of People of Color and the superiority of white people, culture, and values.
Affirmative Action: A policy designed to redress past discrimination against women and minority groups through measures to improve their economic and educational opportunities.
African American: 1. Refers to Black individuals living in the United States with African ancestry. 2. An ethnic group in the United States of America whose ancestors, usually in predominant part, were indigenous to West and sub-Saharan Africa. Many African Americans also have European and/or Native American ancestors.
Ageism: Discrimination of individuals based on their age, i.e. of the elderly based on the notion that they are incapable of performing certain functions such as driving, or of the young based on the notion that they are immature and therefore incapable of performing certain tasks.
Ally: An individual that supports the struggles of a group; not part of the group him/herself.
Antisemitism(or Anti-Semitism): "Semitic" originally referred to a family of languages that included Hebrew. But it came to be applied directly to hatred of the Jews. Antisemitism is the systematic discrimination against denigration, or oppression of Jews, Judaism, and the cultural, intellectual, and religious heritage of the Jewish people.
Arab American: (adj) Refers to Americans of Arab ancestry and constitute an ethnicity made up of several waves of immigrants from 22 Arab countries, stretching from Morocco in the west to Oman in the east. Arab Americans are also Middle Eastern and North African Americans, i.e. terms that do not equate ethnic heritage with nationality but rather a geographic area. Although a highly diverse ethnic group, Arab Americans descend from a heritage that represents common linguistic, cultural, and political traditions.
Asian American: (n) Refers to individuals living in the United States with Asian ancestry.
Bias: An inclination or preference either for or against an individual or group that interferes with impartial judgment.
Bigotry: An unreasonable or irrational attachment to negative stereotypes and prejudices.
Bisexual: A person emotionally, physically, and/or sexually attracted to members of the same sex, as well as members of the opposite sex.
Class: 1. Relative social rank in terms of income, wealth, status, and/or power. 2. Category or division based on economic status; members of a class are theoretically assumed to possess similar cultural, political and economic characteristics and principles.
Classism: The institutional, cultural, and individual set of practices and beliefs that assign differential value to people according to their socio-economic class; and an economic system which creates excessive inequality and causes basic human needs to go unmet.
Collusion: Thinking and acting in ways which support the system of racism. White people can actively collude by joining groups which advocate white supremacy. All people can collude by telling racist jokes, discriminating against a Person of Color, or remaining silent when observing a racist incident or remark. We believe that both Whites and People of Color can collude with racism through their attitudes, beliefs, and actions.
Culture: Aspects of a social environment that are used to communicate values such as what is considered good and desirable, right and wrong, normal, different, appropriate, or attractive. The means through which society creates context from which individuals derive meaning and prescriptions for successful living within that culture (language and speech patterns, orientation toward time, standards of beauty holidays that are celebrated, images of a "normal family").
Diaspora: A historical dispersion of a group of people deriving from similar origins, i.e. the African Diaspora includes African Americans, Africans, Caribbeans, Afro-Russians, Black Brazilians, Afro-Latinos etc.
Disability: An individual is considered to have a disability if they have a physical or mental condition that limits the ability to perform a major life activity such as walking, breathing, seeing, hearing, thinking, or working.
Disadvantaged: 1. A historically oppressed group having less than sufficient resources to fund all of basic needs; without expendable income. 2. A group characterized by disproportionate economic, social, and political disadvantages.
Discrimination: (Prejudice + Power) An action against other people on the grounds of their group membership, particularly the refusal to grant such people opportunities, access, or resources that would be granted to similarly qualified members of one's own group. There are many forms of discrimination including: racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, ageism etc.
Diversity: A situation that includes representation of multiple (ideally all) groups within a prescribed environment, such as a university or a workplace. This word most commonly refers to differences between cultural groups, although it is also used to describe differences within cultural groups, e.g. diversity within the Asian American culture includes Korean Americans and Japanese Americans. An emphasis on accepting and respecting cultural differences by recognizing that no one culture is intrinsically superior to another underlies the current usage of the term.
Dominant culture: The cultural group that controls the major aspects of social power, values, and norms within a society.
Emigrant: One who leaves his/her country of origin to reside in a foreign country.
Essentialism: The practice of categorizing a group based on an artificial social construction that imparts an "essence" of that group, which homogenizes the group and effaces individuality and difference.
Ethnicity: A social construct that divides people into smaller social groups based on characteristics such as shared sense of group membership, values, behavioral patterns, language, political and economic interests, history, and ancestral geographical base.

White privilege: The concrete benefits of access to resources and social rewards and the power to shape the norms and values of society which Whites receive, unconsciously or consciously, by virtue of their skin color in a racist society.

For 47 years, I've been terrified by the thought of lowering glass jars into a vat of boiling water. But this fall, I summoned all my courage, dug that garage sale canner out of the basement and made a commitment. This is the year I can.
It's been a month since I made that promise. Today, my kitchen floor is littered with boxes of mason jars of various sizes. My cookbook shelf has been repurposed as a depository for jams, jellies and all things pickled. If there's a vegetable, fruit or berry in the house, it's getting canned. Be warned. There is no gateway into canning. Once you start, you can't stop. Here's a list of tips from someone who's 99 jars into the game and counting.
1. Tool time
You'll be dealing with glass, metal, boiling water and hot stuff in general. This is no time to improvise when it comes to tools. Look for an enamel water-bath canning kit with an interior rack and basic tool set. You'll spend less than $50 for a new set. If you can wait until yard sale season, canners can be had for five dollars.
2. Start fresh
The better your ingredients are when you put them in a jar, the better they'll taste when you crack open that jar in January. Don't use overripe fruit or vegetables with bruises or blemishes just to get rid of them. You won't be happy with the results. There's a reason most canning is done in the fall; to preserve those fabulous flavours from our gardens and fruit trees.
3. Time on your side
Canning takes time. It's not a whip-up-a-batch-of-cookies kind of project. I suggest you start early in the day, especially if you're a novice. There are several steps to the process and some of them involve standing around waiting for water to boil. Chill out. Start imagining how you'll decorate your jars.
4. Make what you like
Just because everyone else makes pickled beets and crabapple jelly, you don't need to follow suit. Look for recipes that suit your taste. I'm a huge fan of corn relish, so that was one of my first projects. I also love anything with oranges, so about half of my jars have a decidedly orange glow to them.
5. Stick with a water bath
You'll find lots of online chatter about using the oven method for canning. This involves setting your jars into an oven and bringing up the heat to a recommended temperature. All the home economists I know nearly had a fit when I considered using this method. They started talking about food safety, or more precisely, the lack of it. That quickly made me decide to use a water bath. Play it safe and do the same.

Interoperability with programs written in static-typed languages would be a concern, as would the problem of declaring constraints.
