Sapphire HD 5870 and HD 5750 Vapor-X Review
Closer Look:
The ATI Catalyst Control Center got a new look with the introduction of the 9.7 drivers so it's about time to take an in-depth look at the options and the interface. We will see how well the GUI is setup and how easy it is to navigate through. Since the basic view is well ... basic, I will look through the Advanced panel. The first page to open with ATI Catalyst Control Center is the Welcome page which has quick hyperlinks to check for driver updates, get in contact with customer care, give feedback, visit the AMD website, or join the [email protected] cause. The next page is the Information Center; the Information Center is split into two tabs – one for Graphics Software information and the other for Graphics Hardware information. These two tabs can be very handy for troubleshooting any problems that crop up while using the Sapphire's Latest Vapor-X cards the HD5870 and HD 5750.
The Graphics Hardware tab of the Information Center contains information about the Sapphire Vapor-X cards including BIOS version and date, chipset, memory, vendor code, and so on. Most people shouldn't need the Graphics Hardware and Software Information, but it definitely handy when a problem may occur. The next page is the Desktops & Displays page – this page is for the basic settings of the monitor(s) and desktop. Users can figure out which monitor is which and rotate the outputted image. Clicking the properties or moving along brings us to the Desktop Properties page.
The Desktop Properties page has much more control over the desktop with settings such as desktop area, color quality, refresh rate, and again rotation. The next tab in the Desktop Properties page adjusts the color, contrast, brightness, and gamma output. This can be handy on monitors that need some help putting out the appropriate colors – back when I used a CRT a long time ago it helped keep the colors closer to true when the monitor would get aged and get a gray or yellowish tint.
The Display Options page is very short and is used just for one option – Display Detection Option. The options are automatic or manual detection of displays. The 3D page has several tabs that allow users the ability to define a custom scheme for their games. There are previews for the effects or users can power through all of the settings on the 'All' tab at the end.
The Avivo Video page has five tabs dedicated to performance and quality adjustments for video output. A preview is included of a woman with flowers and fruit. Again, just as with the 3D page, there is an 'All' tab that can adjust all of the settings for the Avivo Video at once.
The last page on the graphics menu is the ATI Overdrive. To first use this feature, users must click the lock to 'unlock' the program after then agreeing to some terms. The software is capable of automatically overclocking the video card through Auto-Tune, but I prefer using the manual settings. Users can test their settings using the Test Custom Clocks button. Fan speed control is relatively new to ATI Overdrive and allows users to define what speed the fan or blower runs at. Underneath and to the right of this are gauges and readouts of some of the more important data for this card – temperature, usage activity, fan speed, GPU clock speed, and memory clock speed. The test feature brings up a full screen image that is pretty basic – greenish reddish with an AMD logo in the bottom left.
The new additional menu is the HydraVision menu. The first page is the HydraGrid page, which allows users to define a grid-like component to lock applications to a certain chunk of desktop real estate. Options such as showing the grids when moving a window and showing an icon in the tray are settable at the bottom while adjusting the grid is near the top. The grid can be previewed as the default layout is seen with white bars representing the grids. Users can customize the grid layout to whatever they desire and the keyboard shortcuts are listed out in the image while the red bar means it is the selected grid component to be adjusted.
The next page is the Desktop Manager, which does exactly what the name implies – it manages the desktop. The desktop manager can keep track of application position and size, and allow spanning across multiple displays. The last page is the Multi Desktop. This name is also suggestive to its use – this program allows users to have multiple desktops ranging from two up to nine. Users can rotate between desktops with the scroll wheel, preserve display settings, and enable another tray icon. This can be useful for those who have a ton of desktop icons as a means to separate them out – one could, for instance, even make a desktop for each category of their own choosing even – gaming, work, school, and whatever else.
Now that the Catalyst Control Center has been configured, we can get to some gaming or take a rest and let the Sapphire Vapor-X cards do some good for humanity by [email protected]!

Nearly 50 people have been banned from a number of pubs and bars in Chesterfield.
The 46 men and women were originally arrested in connection with drugs offences as a result of an operation in the town centre between October and December last year.
Each person has been banned for five years from entering 33 licenced premises which are part of the Chesterfield Pub Watch (CPW) scheme. The decision was made by CPW members.
A further 15 premises, which form the Sheffield Road Pub Watch scheme, are also considering banning the individuals. Members will make a decision at their meeting next week.
Pub Watch schemes are established by licensees and membership is restricted to licensed premises. They link in with authorities including the police and work together to help reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.
Roger Butler, deputy chair of Chesterfield Pub Watch, said: "We are keen to support Derbyshire police in reducing drug-related crime in our night-time economy."
Inspector Glyn Jones, who is responsible for the police licensing team in Chesterfield, said: "Pub Watch schemes can be very effective in taking a stand against crime and anti-social behaviour, which in turn helps create a safe and pleasant environment for people to enjoy a night out."

Hey - I really want to get back into playing tennis again! I am probably around a 2.5 or 3.0 playing level, and I like to have fun while playing. I hate people that take things to seriously! I am still relatively new to Hollywood, so it would also be great to meet some cool new people who love tennis.
I am right by runyon canyon in hollywood, but don't know of any free courts around here - if you feel like playing and know of a spot to play in hollywood around 6.30pm weeknights then give me a shout!
Looking forward to meeting some cool tennis players in the area!

Good Lenses / Terrible Frames
By Rob
from Denver, CO
Comments about Foster Grant Samson:
I am on my 4th pair of these over the last couple years. The LENSES are really good and work as described, the FRAMES however keep breaking off at the corners. I like the SAMSON but think maybe the SAWYER will not break as easily??? Not sure and I am hesitant now that I have bought 4 of these and am now down to just one.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Romantic Outdoor Lighting: Garden Chandeliers
Could there be anything more enchanting than an evening garden party lit by an outdoor chandelier? It seems like sort of a fantastical idea, but there are several ways tackle this as a relatively easy DIY project, and then of course there are plenty of simple wire candle chandeliers intended for outdoor use.
As you prepare your outdoor space for the warmer weather, consider these options for romantic chandelier lighting in the garden:
• For a rustic look, try a wire chandelier meant to display candles. The one pictured in the second photo above is by Raymentwire.
• If you think you might get tired of this look by the end of the summer, why not just convert an old salvage chandelier into a candle chandelier for hanging outside. It'll rust, of course, and deteriorate eventually, but in the meantime you'll have a kind of vintage/elegant atmosphere.
• If you'd rather have electric light than candles, try winding some outdoor string lights around the wire frame of an old salvage chandelier (see third photo). Whimsical and festive!
• Use a pot rack, some chain link, and a bunch of glass jars to make a beautiful DIY candle chandelier. The fourth photo shows a version you can learn to make on iDIY.
• For a temporary solution for a party, consider stringing up an old chandelier as you would a piñata, with a rope suspended over a tree branch and tied around the tree trunk. The fifth photo (from Domino) is such a pretty example of this playful idea.
• Another DIY idea involves simply tucking a few jars with candles into a wire basket and decorating it with chandelier crystals (see last photo above). A fun project to do with kids! See Sunset for the tutorial.
Got any outdoor chandelier ideas? Please share.

Atmospheric Sciences & Global Change
Research Highlights
March 2012
Clouds Get in the Way
Measuring how climate models calculate the effects of clouds on Earth's warming
Clouds get in the way of the dawn light, perfectly framing the Raman lidar instrument at the ARM Climate Research Facility Southern Great Plains site. This ground-based laser is a remote sensing instrument used for measuring vertical profiles of several cloud and atmospheric properties. Enlarge Image
Results: Using ten years of data gathered at three unique measurement sites, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory found that global climate models are not representing just how much clouds mask the sun's warming energy. And for the first time, scientists used data on the spatial coverage, height, and transparency of the clouds to inform climate models. They found the relative monthly and annual differences among three cloud fraction datasets at each site are small. However, comparing observations with a dozen global models shows that cloud coverage is significantly misrepresented in the models, by up to 150 percent at one site.
Why It Matters: Ever stood under the shadow of a cloud on a sunny day? Then you already know that the amount of clouds covering the Earth is a primary factor on the warming or cooling of the surface. The sun's energy, or solar radiation, is the primary source of Earth's warming. But clouds get in the way, changing the amount of energy reaching the Earth's surface. Scientists want to know just how much energy is reaching the surface and how much is reflected away or absorbed by clouds. Getting an accurate measurement of clouds, or how much surface they shade at any one time, called cloud fraction, will help scientists predict how and where clouds influence Earth's warming and cooling. Beyond warmth and cooling, getting an accurate picture of cloud cover will impact predictions of precipitation and air quality around the world.
"Everyone agrees that clouds are the most uncertain agent for prediction in climate models. That's why the U.S. Department of Energy has made a substantial investment in collecting cloud and radiation observational data," said Dr. Yun Qian, atmospheric scientist and principal investigator on the study. "In our study, we have taken the raw data and showed how it's ultimately valuable for evaluating cloud fraction, height, and their radiative effect. We then compared this data with a collection of climate models to answer the questions, 'Where should you pay more attention?' and 'How well do current global models include clouds and cloud fraction?'"
Methods: Researchers gathered data from three Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Facility locations: North Slope of Alaska, Southern Great Plains (in Oklahoma), and Tropical Western Pacific. These represent the broad range of climate conditions around the world. The locations each house large groups of atmospheric instruments. Data for this study were gathered by instruments that measured cloud fraction, such as the total sky imager (TSI) which captures a hemispheric view of cloud cover during daylight hours, radar and lidar, used to measure cloud depth and height in one vertical location, and radiometers that measure the shortwave and longwave radiative fluxes.
These data sets were compared among each other at each site to gain insight on how closely the different measurements of cloud fraction are correlated with each other. The inter-comparison revealed relative small monthly and annual differences among the three datasets within each site. The observational data was then compared to cloud fraction representations in a set of 12 global circulation models (GCMs) used in the Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) reports. Scientists were interested in determining the inter-model deviation and model bias against observation. In addition, they diagnosed potential differences among the GCMs in other cloud optical properties, including cloud transparency, height, and density. They found that the climate models tend to have larger discrepancies from observations for the cloud variables that also have larger inter-model differences.
The cloud fraction varied at different heights, which has a different heating effect changing the overall climate circulation. Researchers have gained new insight on ways to improve the prediction of clouds in global climate models.
What's Next? Using the ARM cloud and radiation data together with satellite data, scientists at PNNL will be working on the prediction of cloud properties in CAM5, the newest version of the Community Atmosphere Model, a global atmospheric process model.
"This research will spark improvements for each global model on how to use the ARM cloud fraction data," said Qian.
Acknowledgments: This research was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science Biological and Environmental Research (BER) as part of the Atmospheric Systems Research (ASR) Program and the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility. Additional support was provided by the DOE BER's Improving the Characterization of Clouds, Aerosols and the Cryosphere in Climate Models Project. The work was performed by Drs. Yun Qian, Chuck N. Long, Hailong Wang, Jennifer M. Comstock, Sally A. McFarlane of PNNL; and Dr. Shaocheng Xie of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Host, 'TED Radio Hour'
Guy Raz is the host of TED Radio Hour, a co-production of NPR and TED that tackles astonishing inventions, fresh approaches to old problems and new ways to think and create. Each radio show is based on talks given by riveting speakers on the renowned TED stage, bound together by a common theme such as the thrill of space exploration, going to extremes, the source of happiness or 'when rights goes wrong' in our justice system. Currently, he is also Ferris Professor of Journalism at Princeton University where he teaches radio reporting.
Previously, Raz was weekend host of NPR News' signature afternoon newsmagazine All Things Considered. Raz was named host of that program in July, 2009. During his tenure, Raz transformed the sound and format of the program, introducing the now-signature "cover story" and creating the popular Three-Minute Fiction writing contest.
Raz joined NPR in 1997 as an intern for All Things Considered and he worked his way through the ranks of the organization. His first job was the assistant to NPR's legendary news analyst Daniel Schorr. Raz then served as a general assignment reporter covering stories ranging from the early 2000 presidential primaries to a profile on the Doors' song "Light My Fire."
In 2000, at the age of 25, Raz was made NPR's Berlin bureau chief where he covered eastern Europe and the Balkans. Later, he was transferred to London as the bureau chief and covered the war in Iraq. Raz left NPR in 2004, to work as CNN's Jerusalem correspondent, chronicling everything from the rise of Hamas as a political power to the incapacitation of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Israel's 2005 withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. Two years later Raz returned to NPR to serve as defense correspondent where he covered the Pentagon and the US military.
During his six years abroad, Raz reported from more than 40 countries, with a focus on Iraq, Israel and the Palestinian Territories, Afghanistan, Eastern Europe and the Balkans. He profiled and interviewed dozens of world leaders, including former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Shimon Peres, General David Petraeus and Joint Chiefs Chairman Adm. Michael Mullen.
For his reporting from Iraq, Raz was awarded both the Edward R. Murrow Award and the Daniel Schorr Journalism prize. His reporting has contributed to two duPont Awards and one Peabody awarded to NPR. He's been a finalist for the Livingston Award four times. For his reporting from Germany, Raz was awarded both the RIAS Berlin prize and the Arthur F. Burns Award. In 2008, he spent a year as a Nieman journalism fellow at Harvard University where he studied classical history.
Raz's written work has appeared in Salon, Washington City Paper, the Washington Post, the Christian Science Monitor and the German daily, Sueddeutsche Zeitung.

CMEF 2014 will take place in Ottawa in late spring or early summer 2014. The three co-organizers are Ann Arden (Ottawa-Carleton DSB and University of Ottawa), Richard Hoshino (Quest University), and Kathleen Pineau (École de technologie supérieure). At CMESG 2013 (Brock University May 24-28) they will present their ideas for the theme and structure of the meeting and will welcome comments and further ideas from other participants.
A CMEF planning meeting was held on December 9 2012 at the CMS meetings in Montreal. In attendance: Shay Fuchs, Viktor Freiman, France Caron, Kathleen Pineau, Malgorzata Dubiel, Wes Maciejewski, Keith Taylor, Bernard Hodgson, Tara Taylor, Melania Alvarez, Harley Weston, Miroslav Lovric, Irena Papst, Peter Taylor (Chair).
Much has been accomplished in the past four Canadian Math Education Forums, particular in bringing teachers at all levels from elementary to post-secondary into a common discussion forum. But there is certainly more to be done, in particular there is a need to bring more of our students into this community in the sense of finding success and engagement in their mathematical encounters. There was agreement that CMEF was an important enterprise and well worth rethinking and holding on a regular basis. In particular, many teachers who have already been part of this are eager for the next meeting.
There was an idea that different Forums could focus on different levels, elementary, secondary, post- secondary. But it was also pointed out that there was good synergy to be found in mixing the levels at any one meeting. Certainly no level exists in isolation.
What is our main focus to be––teacher preparation? curriculum? resources? There was a consensus that the generation of good resources could have a large impact. Such resources could give teachers examples of good approaches and tasks to give students, could give direction (and impetus) to teacher learning and professional development, and would find their way into the classroom and enhance student learning activity. We used the term "vignettes" to describe these units to suggest that they be of modest size or length, focused, powerful and "telling." They could be in written, pictorial or video format and could be easily posted online.
Preparation of such vignettes could be widespread and their organization, editing and assembling might need an ongoing effort. It was pointed out that much work is already devoted to the production of comparable resources in many parts of the world, and the ICMI Klein project was mentioned as an important example. Thus part of our effort could well be in maintaining for Canadian teachers and instructors a map which pointed to, described and classified such resources.
Another significant project that CMEF could address is the bridging of the gaps that exist between levels, for example the "double discontinuity" (Klein) between high school and university experienced by teachers, first as they pass from school to university as students and then again in a different way as they pass from university, as new teachers, back into the school system.
Participation. The importance of having a wide participant base, different levels, different parts of the country, and different sectors, was emphasized. Those who attended would be expected to accept the role of "teachers teaching teachers" as the fruits of the meeting are disseminated.
Location. It was agreed that Ottawa was a good location for CMEF 2014, as it was central, easy to get to, and we could take better advantage of CMS administrative support.
Organizers. Richard Hoshino has agreed to be a co-organizer. We need others to step forward.
Next planning meeting will be held at the CMESG meetings at Brock University on the weekend of May 25.
Peter Taylor
As mentioned below (see posting of June 6), the first of two CMEF planning sessions will be held at the CMS Winter Meeting on Sunday Dec. 9, 2-4 pm. A follow-up meeting will be held at the CMESG meetings at Brock University in May 2013. The four objectives of the sessions are
In December, the event will be less than 18 months away, so that a few decisions will need to be made, particularly the timing and location. My purpose here is to provide registration instructions for those able to attend the Montreal meeting and to offer a means of advance input for those who are not.
First let me say that the CMS meeting itself will be interesting as one of its objectives is to kick off the Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013 year. The Education events will all happen on Sunday, starting with a notable plenary talk at 10:30 (Ted Hsu), followed by the Adrien Pouliot talk at 11:30 (Melania Alvarez), and our session at 2 pm. The night before (at 7 pm) there will be a public talk by Doyne Farmer of the Santa Fe Institute, and that will be followed at 8:30 by a staged reading of "Mathematical Science Investigation (MSI): The Anatomy of Integers and Permutations". Also on Friday night at 7:30 the public lecture (in French) will be by Ivar Ekeland of UBC and Paris-Dauphine.
To attend the CMS meeting you will need to register online. For participants at the CMEF planning meeting, a fee waiver is available equivalent to the one-day early registration fee for each category. For example, the waived amount will be $100 for students, $150 for postdocs, retirees, teachers and unemployed, and $175 for all others. If you register early (before Sept 30) and attend for only one day (not counting the Saturday evening public talk), you will have no registration fee to pay. The procedure is to email me advising of your intent to attend and I will reply, copying the CMS office. When you hear back from me, go online and register. If your total fee is more than the waived amount, you will need to provide a credit card number, but be assured that the CMS will subtract from the total the waived amount.
Just to get the ball rolling, let me record a few thoughts.
That's enough for now but I encourage comments on these and other matters. I will post these on this site so that they can be responded to and the resulting discussion will be available to those who are able to attend the Montreal meeting.
Peter Taylor
Chair, CMS Education Committee
Informal discussions on the future of CMEF have taken place over the past winter among a few of the past co-organizers. It is felt that, having had 4 successful meetings, the time has come to clearly identify the role and function of CMEF in the Canadian Math Ed landscape. Its strength has certainly been in its broad participant base as it brings mathematicians, math educators, teachers, publishers and admin/government folks together to talk about the place and face of mathematics in school, in college, in university, in the work-place and in Canadian Society. It is clear that there is significant work to do in terms of reimagining and recreating the nature and character of mathematics education in both school and university. [Am I exaggerating here? --I think not.] We have such a wonderful and important (and central) subject and it is so misunderstood by so many. Anyway CMEF would seem to be the ideal body to focus (and I do mean focus!) on this "mission" and the question is, what sort of organization and meeting would best serve this purpose.
There was an ad hoc discussion of this question at the CMESG meeting in Quebec a couple of weeks ago. The proposal informing those discussions was that the Forum would meet every 4 years except that in summer 2014 we would hold a smaller planning meeting to decide upon the shape of the organization with the first meeting of the new "format" to be held summer 2018. Just last weekend (June 3) this issue again came forward as part of the agenda of the CMS Education Committee meeting in Regina. The first question asked was why we were waiting so long to do the planning. Could we not do enough of this planning in 2013 and hold the first "new format" CMEF meeting in 2014? I have thought about this a bit and I now feel that the answer is yes!
I propose that the planning take place at two meetings, the first being the CMS Winter meeting in Montreal in December 2012 and the second being the CMESG meeting in May 2013 at Brock. Our objective, from both these meetings, would be to arrive at a good sense of the purpose and objectives of the Forum, and to outline a program structure that might be able to support and further those objectives. The CMS meeting dates are December 8-10, and the meeting will tentatively take place on the 9th. Anyone who wishes to be part of this is welcome to come. Those who are unable to come are welcome to send me ideas or concerns. I will assemble those and make them available before the meeting. I will post further information later together with a procedure for attending the December meeting.

Chefs' Secrets: Tre Trattoria's Tuscan Steak
Dear Pat: I enjoy your column and keep it with my recipes. Could you get the recipe for the Tuscan Steak, I think it is a marinade, at Tre Trattoria on Broadway? Thank you very much.
Karol Raines
Dear Karol: Tuscan cooking emphasizes restraint, harmony and balance, and this inherent discipline carries over to the cucina, where best-quality ingredients, treated simply, are revered. At Tre Trattoria, chef/owner Jason Dady explores the foods of Tuscany, and as the Tuscans often do, serves much of his menu in the convivial family style. Shared platters of antipasti, pastas, entrées and even desserts make for a relaxed and festive experience — one that encourages great conversation. Dady's exceptional Tuscan Ribeye is served in this manner, making it a perfect dish for a truly memorable dinner with family or friends.
Dady's intriguing method delivers big flavor and ensures that the meat will be tender and succulent. And yes, there is indeed a marinade, an unusual one called a dry marinade that flavors this delectable steak. He marinates the steaks for 24 hours with oodles of sliced onion, garlic and fresh oregano that imbue the meat with unparalleled depth of flavor. Dady tells us the onions also have an enzyme that tenderizes the steak magnificently. The next day, he grills the steak, and serves it with a sauce. If you prefer, you can simply grill the steak and serve it without a sauce. You'll not be at all disappointed — it's perfectly delicious as is.
At the restaurant, to make the sauce, cooks brown trimmed parts from a whole rib-eye roast and use the browned bits that form on the bottom of the pan, called fond, to give the sauce its deep beefy flavor. However, assuming we home cooks do not have such trimmings available, Dady offers a second procedure that gives you the opportunity to make the jus or sauce that's poured over the cooked steak.
If you wish to prepare the sauce, you'll sear the meat on the stove top in a heavy cast-iron skillet, flip it, then place it in the oven to finish cooking. After setting the steaks aside to allow the juices to retreat, you'll prepare the red wine sauce. Thinly shaved red onion and fresh thyme are cooked with red wine and beef stock. Once reduced, the sauce is poured over the warm slices of steak and served on a large platter.
Accompany the steak with your favorite fresh vegetables, simply prepared in true Tuscan manner, along with thick slices of rustic bread, grilled, rubbed with fresh garlic, and anointed with extra virgin olive oil — preferably the peppery, green Tuscan kind, of course!
Tre Trattoria is at 4003 Broadway, next to the Witte Museum.

Massachusetts might not be the natural habitat for any really exotic animals (no, squirrels and pigeons don't count), but that doesn't mean you can't have an animal adventure. We're talking kangaroos at Southwick's Zoo, gorillas at the Franklin Park Zoo, and penguins at the New England Aquarium. Lots and lots of penguins. If you're looking to check some more birds off your list, the Berkshires is one of the best bird watching locations in the country. Then there's horseback riding, with ranches for riding and learning all over the state. And if your kids like to get up close and personal with the animals, petting zoos at destinations like Smolak Farms and Lookout Farm will give them the warm and fuzzies. Just make sure they don't take anything home.

Mumbai: Small screen actress Kirti Nagpure has bagged the lead role in the upcoming show "Desh Ki Beti Nandini".
Kirti made her TV debut with "Parichay - Nayee Zindagi Kay Sapno Ka", in which she featured with actor Samir Soni.
To be aired on Sony Entertainment Television, "Desh Ki Beti Nandini" is likely to be a show on politics as can be assumed from its promotional trailers.
Kirti will play the female protagonist in the show, a source told IANS.
The male lead of the show is yet to be finalised but if the grapevine is to be believed, seasoned actor Ravi Dubey has been roped in for it.

A new Dartmouth-led study shows that degrading satellite sensors, not soot or dust,
are responsible for the apparent decline in reflectivity of inland ice across northern Greenland.
The study's results suggest the ice sheet hasn't lost as much reflectivity as previously thought,
and that black carbon and dust concentrations haven't increased significantly and are thus not responsible for darkening on the upper ice sheet.

At the PowerDev conference, lots of new development in the MorphOS world were demonstrated, chief of which is the improved hardware support. The PowerMac (I'm assuming the G4 versions) will join the Mac Mini and eMac as supported PowerPC Macs MorphOS can run on, and support for the PowerBook is underway too.
That wasn't all, though. "A sneak preview of the new Ambient panel system was shown which has some quite unique features. These new panels will replace the old once in later Ambient versions," Geit.de writes, "The new MorphOS scanner application and driver system Scandal was demoed to the audience by using an Epson scanner. It's a quite nice piece of software and even the transparency unit worked."
MorphOS can now also work with 3D displays. Avatar was played in 3D on a 3D monitor, but in all honesty, I find this 3D fad like looking at a glorified shoebox diorama - it's not true 3D, it's just a bunch of layers. Since my total lack of interest in this subject, it could very well be that this 3D thing is very easy to add to an operating system.
There's no word on when MorphOS 2.6 will arrive, but when it does, I'll be very, very happy. I have a dual 400Mhz PowerMac G4 with a Radeon 8500 waiting specifically for MorphOS.

Working our way along the North Shore, we arrived at the town of Grand Marais. I have longed to visit the North House School for many years. Where should we unknowingly end up, but in a campsite immediately alongside the school!
A short jaunt down a weedy trail and I was at the front door of one of the classrooms where traditional northern craft classes are offered in frame loom weaving, whole grain sourdough baking, natural plant dyes, soap making, basket weaving, felted wool, canoe building, wool braided rug making, and so many more.
One of the classes being offered during the 4th of July weekend was Scandinavian figure carving.
We chose to have lunch on the outside deck of the Angry Trout Cafe along the water's edge in downtown Grand Marais. A wall of rocks forms a bay to shield boats from Lake Superior's waves.
To provide a sense of how close we were to the water, our table was positioned against this metal post. We looked down upon a seagull swimming back and forth, undoubtably anticipating a handout.
I first met George Wilkes, who is the owner of the Angry Trout Cafe, a few years back at a Sustainable Tourism Conference in Minneapolis. As a conference presenter, he shared ways that he supports the local economy by utilizing as many products and services as possible from local providers and seeks out sustainably-raised foods. The teeny cloth napkins, sewn by a small business in Lutsen will immediately catch your attention... less fabric, less space in the washing machine and dryer means reduced water consumption. How large does a napkin really need to be anyway? Wind generates power for this restaurant that was formerly an "old commercial fishing shanty" that now provides a relaxing retreat on a sunny afternoon on the shores of Lake Superior.

The Coyotes hold eight picks (tied for the third-most) in the seven-round draft, including two picks in the second and seventh rounds.
At last year's NHL Entry Draft in New Jersey, the Coyotes selected forward Max Domi with the 12th overall pick in the first round. The Coyotes own the 12th overall selection for only the third time in franchise history (Jim Kyte – 1982 and Max Domi - 2013).
Round 1 – 12th overall
Round 2 – 43rd and 58th* overall
Round 3 – 73rd overall
Round 4 – None
Round 5 – 133rd overall
Round 6 – 163rd overall
Round 7 – 191st* and 193rd overall
*Phoenix acquired the Chicago Blackhawks second-round pick (58th overall), in exchange for David Rundblad and Mathieu Brisebois on March 4, 2014.
*Phoenix acquired the New Jersey Devils seventh-round pick (191st overall), in exchange for Steve Sullivan on April 3, 2013.
Hockey fans throughout the Valley can watch the first round of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft at Jobing.com Arena beginning at 4 p.m. P.D.T on Friday, June 27.
Gambo and Burns from Arizona Sports 98.7 FM will broadcast their show live from the arena in the Rinkside Club from 2 – 6 p.m. P.D.T while Coyotes radio play-by-play announcer Bob Heethuis will provide Draft updates throughout the first round.
Coyotes' goaltender Mike Smith will be at the event to sign autographs from 5-6 p.m. Wristbands will be provided to the first 150 fans. Kids attending the Draft party can play ball hockey on the arena floor and the Coyotes will have two Zambonis and NHL nets available for fan photos. Kids will also have an opportunity to take a slapshot on an NHL goal or play in the Coyotes Bounce House. Dressing room tours will be available throughout the event and members of the Paw Patrol and Howler will be on hand to interact with fans.
The Coyotes team name will officially change to "Arizona Coyotes" at the NHL Draft June 27 and new Arizona Coyotes merchandise will be available for the first time at the Coyotes Draft Viewing Party/Open House.

Hardware Hacks for the LS Pro
All input is welcome. Please do not edit this page directly as I do not want any information to get past me without my knowledge as it could be detrimental to the LS Pro on which I'm experimenting. Please post any comments to the forum thread or the talk page.
This is an account of the attempts of Tampakuro (aka Kuroguy) to open the LS Pro hardware to more development. I'll be concentrating mainly on the flash memory as well as adding an eSATA port.
Adding an eSATA port (tested and safe to install)Adding a second SATA drive to your Linkstation Pro is as simple as installing a 0.01 uF surface mount capacitor at C279, C280, C281, and C282 and then installing the proper Molex connector at CN8.
It is very important that you tin (and leave a bit of extra solder connected to) the capacitors as you cannot place a small enough amount of solder with just the solder. It would also require 3 hands to do so. You need the smallest bent nose jeweler's tweezers you can find ($1.30 at the local flea market). The width of one of the tips must be smaller that the spacing between adjacent capacitors. You will be heating both ends of the capacitor at one time. File a knife edge onto the iron tip and press the edge down the length of the capacitor while you hold it in place with the tweezers. be gentle as those capacitors like to fly across the room. Hold with moderate pressure until the solder is hot. You might even hear/feel a creaking sound when the solder goes to liquid. Hold the iron in place for about 2 more seconds after the sound. When the cap sets into place remove the iron and let it cool for a second. Once cool, remove the tweezers. The hard part is getting the adjacent capacitor in place without heating the first one. You also must hold the capacitor in place or it will simply stick to the soldering iron when you remove the iron. That's why you need the smallest tweezers you can get. After the capacitors are installed, install the eSATA connector. Use 0603 SMD capacitors.
The correct part to use is Molex part number 47082-1000 eSATA connector. This connector is designed to withstand 5000 plug/unplug cycles while the standard SATA connector is designed to only withstand 50 cycles.
You will need to bend the seven contacts down slightly before installing the connector. This will preload the pins when you solder the shield in place and then all that is necessary os to heat the seven pads oat CN8. The solder will melt towards the pins of the Molex connector and you will wind up with a nice solder joint. You will need to cut off one of the black alignment pins prior to installing the connector and a dry fitting will let you determine which pin is the correct one to remove.
To test this I plugged the hard disk into the new sata port (I didn't have a spare SATA drive). The bootloader would not boot directly to the SATA drive plugged into CN8 so I bbooted the device using TFTP to retrieve the kernel and initrd. Once the device had the kernel and initrd loaded it pivoted to the root filesystem on the SATA drive even though it was attached to the secondary SATA port. I have attached a portion of the DMESG showing the device was recognized:
...o Checksum offload enabled o Loading network interface ** egiga_init_module (0) 'eth0' Intergrated Sata device found scsi0 : Marvell SCSI to SATA adapter scsi1 : Marvell SCSI to SATA adapter Vendor: WDC Model: WD2500JS-00NCB1 Rev: 10.0 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 03 SCSI device sda: 488397168 512-byte hdwr sectors (250059 MB) SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back SCSI device sda: 488397168 512-byte hdwr sectors (250059 MB) SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0 physmap flash device: 400000 at ff800000 CFI: Found no phys_mapped_flash device at location zero....The next step after installing the SATA connector is to place the board back into the metal chassis and mark
Flash modifications
There are two obvious routes to reprogramming the flash memory:
The JTAG Access Method
I took a torch to a kuro pro and a ls pro. Once the SOC was removed tracing the pins was a piece of cake. CN3 is the JTAG connector. pins are as follows:
1 Vcc
2 nTRST
3 Ground
5 Ground
9 sRST
The Dual flash Method (DO NOT ATTEMPT AT THIS TIME)
I will be using a modified dual flash method to gain the ability to safely modify the flash contents. As the flash contains the bootloader, flashing a non working bootloader would permanently brick the LS Pro. The dual flash hack used on the LS1 involved piggybaking a second identical flash chip onto the original flash chip and then alternately enabling and disabling the two chips to gain access to a backup copy of the bootloader stored in the piggybacked flash chip. recovery was as simple as booting from the backup copy of the bootloader and then switching to the original flash chip via a switch or set of jumpers and reflashing the original bootloader.
The modified method I will be using requires completely removing the flash memory chip and replacing it with a new chip with twice the memory. Prior to installing the new memory chip I will program the contents of the original flash chip into the bottom 256 KB of memory and then again into the top 256 KB of memory. Since the 512 KB chip is pin compatible with the 256 KB flash all that is necessary to switch from the lower bank of 256 KB (the original bootloader) to the upper 256 KB (the backup copy) is to toggle the most significant address line (A18) from low to high. This will be accomplished via a jumper that I will install.
I have copied the flash contents to a file named flash.contents using the following command
cat /dev/mtd0 ./flash.contentsI programmed the data from the flash.contents file into a new 512 KB flash chip at both address 0x00000 and 0x40000. The way it works is that toggling the A18 pin on the flash chip makes the LS Pro think that everything above 0x40000 is at 0x00000.
I had brief dreams of saving the original flash chip just in case something went wrong. As a result of trying, I managed to lift 2 pads off of the motherboard. I then used a razor knife to cut all the pins from the flash chip as close to the chip as possible. once the body of the chip was removed, it was a simple matter to remove all the separate pins from the board.
Reinstalling the new flash chip was very easy. I filed a knife edge onto my soldering iron tip and tinned it. I then made sure there was no extra solder on the tip. I Lined up the flash chip with the pads and then tacked two opposite corners in place. Once the chip was held in place, I pressed down firmly on the chip and ran the clean knife edge down the two rows of pins. There was enough solder on the pads and pins to do the trick. Next I made the necessary repairs to the board due to the to missing pads and soldered a piece of 26 gage wire to pin 9 (Address 18). This pin is how we will select our backup copy from flash. Pull it low to use the copy at 0x00000. Pull it high to select the copy at 0x40000. The photo shows the new chip installed on the LS Pro board.
ZIF socket installation (AKA Medusa)
Well, as a last resort I've decided to solder 32 wires to the circuit board and tie them into a ZIF socket that I can use to insert a preprogrammed flash chip. installing these wires has been a real pain as the pads tend to pull off the board. To alleviate that I decided to use hot glue to hold the wires in place after soldering them to the board. All that is left to do is repair 2 board traces and attach the ZIF socket. when complete the ZIF socket will be mounted on the outside of the LS Pro so I can remove/reprogram/replace the flash chip without opening Frankenstein's LS Pro's case. Here are some photos of the hack:
