Big Sur
Not to be confused with the Broadcom Bigsur.
General Description
PMC-Sierra Big Sur board has the Rm7000 processor with the Xilinx System Controller. The board supports 256MB of memory and is currently supported in Linux 2.4 (RAMDISK) only. This board has been specifically introduced for the printer market. It has a 10/100 Fast Ethernet, one serial port, USB, IDE (PIO) and PCI (32-bit) interface.
Board Issues
The board has couple of issues to begin with:
1. An early version did not support Cached mode. Only Uncached. This has now been fixed
2. The Xilinx Fast Ethernet interface does not support DMA, Interrupts and Rx side length parameter (no way to determine the length of the received packet). As a result, the plan was to finally upgrade the FPGA. For now, the Linux BSP supports IDE and PCI. It requires RAMDISK support.

Music services are one thing that Windows Phone isn't lacking in the app department. We've got the native
Zune Xbox Music service built in, Nokia Music on some devices, Spotify, Slacker, Rdio, and Pandora (on the way). For fans of Rdio, the app just got a small update that should help appease subscribers of the human-powered music discovery music network.
The last big update in at the tail end of December gave Rdio the Windows Phone 8 treatment. Lockscreen support, multiple tile sizes, etc. Moving from version 1.15.0 of the app to 1.16.0 will give you two changes:
- Improved online streaming/playback
- Improved interface
Rdio is still rocking a nice design and hits all the high notes in regards to the 'Microsoft Design Language'. The latest version eschews the black layout of the previous version and now you'll find white the big theme. Feels a bit more like the Rdio website. Additionally, the app used to just have 'heavy rotation' as a big pivot in the panorama layout. They've now added top charts, and new releases. Overall it feels a bit more like the native Xbox Music app in terms of layout. Maybe Corey will be happy now.
Streaming and playback are working great on my Lumia 920 running on T-Mobiles faux-G network in southern California. To be honest I can't notice a difference in streaming or playback, but changes like that are more often than not hard to notice unless you were having issues before.
Let us know if you are getting better performance in terms of music streaming.
If you don't have Rdio, you can download it for free from the Windows Phone Store for all devices. You can start a 14-day trial subscription from the app too. Get it here, use the QR code below, or swipe to the right in our Windows Phone Central app.

1. Re: How do I view two layers alternatelyc.pfaffenbichler May 1, 2012 5:34 AM (in response to Mahombi)
I'm thinking there must be a method whereby turning one layer on, automatically turns the other one off and clicking again reverses the process.
And what makes you think that?
You may want to look into Screenshots (in the History Panel) and/or Layer Comps and/or Actions.
Edit: Scripting may be another good option and it could handle arbitrary numbers of selected Layers.
2. Re: How do I view two layers alternatelyemil emil May 1, 2012 9:07 AM (in response to Mahombi)
I'm guessing that you need a quick switch between two images with subtle differences in order to detect them without looking away during the switch.
As c.ptaffenbichler suggested, Layer comps can do that if you use one of the arrows at the bottom of the Layer Comps panel with two comps created. Just position the mouse cursor over one of the arrows and keep clicking it with the desired frequency without looking at it.
Alternatively with similar effort you can use Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Alt + E hotkey to create a temporary flatten image layer of the document while displaying one ot the two states. Then set the layers below to display the other state, and you can keep clicking only on the eye of the flat layer without looking there.
Also you can use Image > Duplicate to create a copy of the image and position the two windows on top of each other, then use Ctrl + Tab and Ctrl+Shift + Tab if many other windows are open to switch between the two windows and this will animate any subtle differences.
3. Re: How do I view two layers alternatelyJeff Arola May 1, 2012 9:29 AM (in response to Mahombi)
Another way if the layers don't effect any layers below such as with blending modes, etc is to Alt (option) click on the eye for the bottom of the two layers and then repeat to alternate the visibilty.
Another way would be to make a seperate snapshot for each layer and then switch between the snapshots in the history panel.
Or switch the order of the layers in the layers panel and use Ctrl (cmd)+Z to alternate the view. (this is undo/redo if your using the default undo and step back shortcuts)
4. Re: How do I view two layers alternatelyMahombi May 2, 2012 4:04 AM (in response to c.pfaffenbichler)
And what makes you think that?
Well c.pfaffenbichler, mainly blind optimism, coloured by the fact that there's no shortage of shortcuts for other moves. I was hoping there would be, for this one.
Evidently that isn't the case, but thank you to you, emil emil and R_Kelly for your solutions.
5. Re: How do I view two layers alternatelyc.pfaffenbichler May 2, 2012 4:04 AM (in response to Mahombi)
In case you ever want to sqwitch through a number of Layers larger than two a Scripting solution might be more convenient than the other methods, so in that case you could also ask over at
6. Re: How do I view two layers alternatelyc.pfaffenbichler May 2, 2012 4:18 AM (in response to Mahombi)
there's no shortage of shortcuts for other moves
That seems debatable.
As far as I can tell most default Keyboard Shortcuts trigger one operation that corresponds to one Menu or Panel item – whereas what you want is dependent on the way you structure your files and involves variables that the programmers of Photoshop can hardly be expected to predict.
The workaround possibilities seem reasonable to me and could (some at least) be assigned Keyboard Shortcuts of your liking if the task merits such for you.
You could always post a Feature Request over at

a script may even be overkill and may require a number of clicks anyway...
in the history panel flyout menu, click history options, check the "make layer visability changes undoable" box, and check the "allow non linear history box": click ok.... (now history will "record" layer visability changes and allow deleting of individual history states)
from now on cmd : select the layers in question, r-click the eye, hide layer, then show one, hide it, show other ... or what ever workflow you prefer..
then you can either opt-cmd-z (prev state) or shift-cmd-z (next state) to toggle, or you can (best way) "toggle" click on the relevent history states in the panel, and even delete the unwanted history state/s allowing for plain ol cmd-z...

It may well be, but one can set it up to hide all but one of selected Layers (if more than one of them is visible) and on following iterations hide the one visible Layer and show the next one.
9. Re: How do I view two layers alternatelyMahombi May 2, 2012 8:46 AM (in response to Grant H)
Thanks Grant. That pretty much does what I was looking for.
10. Re: How do I view two layers alternatelyc.pfaffenbichler May 2, 2012 10:45 PM (in response to Mahombi)
If you want to give a Script a try, paste the following text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit (part of Photoshop's installation, Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/ExtendScript Toolkit CS4 or /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities-CS5/ExtendScript Toolkit CS5) and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop's Presets/Scripts-folder.
After restarting Photoshop the Script should be available under File > Scripts and can be assigned a Keyboard Shortcut directly, recorded into an Action, (in CS4 and CS5) be used in a Configurator-Panel or started from ExtendScript Toolkit directly.
The Script hides all but one of the selected Layers (no Groups), if only one of the selected Layers is visible it hides this one and shows the next.
// show one of the selected layers in turn; // 2012, use at your own risk; #target photoshop if (app.documents.length > 0) { var myDocument = app.activeDocument; var theLayers = GetSelectedLayers(); //alert (theLayers.join("\n")); var theVis = []; // hide the layers; for (var m = 0; m < theLayers.length; m++) { if (theLayers[m].visible == true) {theVis.push([theLayers[m].visible, m, theLayers[m]])}; theLayers[m].visible = false }; // show one layer; if (theVis.length == 1) { var theNumber = theVis[0][1]; theVis[0][2].visible = false; if (theNumber == theLayers.length - 1) {var theNext = 0} else {theNext = theNumber + 1}; theLayers[theNext].visible = true } else { theLayers[0].visible = true }; }; //////////////////////////////////// // function by paul mr; function GetSelectedLayers() { var A=[]; var desc11 = new ActionDescriptor(); var ref9 = new ActionReference(); ref9.putClass( stringIDToTypeID('layerSection') ); desc11.putReference( charIDToTypeID('null'), ref9 ); var ref10 = new ActionReference(); ref10.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID('Lyr '), charIDToTypeID('Ordn'), charIDToTypeID('Trgt') ); desc11.putReference( charIDToTypeID('From'), ref10 ); executeAction( charIDToTypeID('Mk '), desc11, DialogModes.NO ); var gL = activeDocument.activeLayer.layers; for(var i=0;i<gL.length;i++){ A.push(gL[i]); } executeAction( charIDToTypeID('undo'), undefined, DialogModes.NO ); return A; };

Sept. 19, 2008
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - One of Yale coach Brian Tompkins's biggest concerns heading into the 2008 season was his team's ability to score goals. So far in games played at home, that hasn't been a problem. The Bulldogs have outscored their first two opponents 6-1 in the friendly confines of Reese Stadium. They hope that trend continues when Sacred Heart comes to town on Saturday night for a 7 p.m. kickoff. Fans can follow live stats of the game on GameTracker.
Last year, on the second day of the Yale Classic, the Pioneers picked up their first victory over the Bulldogs when Ricarti Mendes scored the only goal of the game at 23:59.
Yale (2-2) is coming off an impressive 4-1 victory over Stony Brook on Wednesday night. Jon Carlos scored twice, and Kevin Pope and Eric Meyer also had goals.
"Sacred Heart is an experienced team that proved last year that they are not to be taken lightly," Tompkins said. "After a difficult weekend, we made some progress against Stony Brook and will look to build on that in Saturday's game."
The Pioneers (1-4) dropped a 2-0 decision at Iona on Wednesday. Mario Mililli, Denis Brunotte and goalkeeper Matt Jones have scored Sacred Heart's goals this season. Jones's goal came on a penalty kick in overtime in a SHU's 2-1 win over Maine. Jones has been nominated for the 2008 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award. He has started every Sacred Heart game over the last three years and was a first team All-Northeast Conference selection last year.

This morning, I wanted to flip a coin to make a decision but no coins were in reach. There was however an SD card on my desk:
Given that I don't know the bias of this SD card, would flipping it be considered a "fair toss"?
At first I thought, "If I'm just as likely to assign an outcome to one side of this SD card as to the other, then it must be a fair." But then that seemed only a recasting of the original question, i.e. in the original question, I'm asking if the unknowing of the SD card's construction contributes to fairness, and now, I'm suggesting that the unknowing of my own psychology (which side I'd choose for which outcome) contributes to fairness. Either way, the core of my question appears to be: Does not knowing contribute to "fairness"?
For example, an SD card might be "fair" to me, but not at all fair to, say, a design engineer looking at the SD card's blueprint, who immediately sees that the chip is off-center from the flat plane. So, it appears fairness depends on the subject(s) to whom fairness matters. In a football game, then, does an SD card become "fair" if none of its viewers can know or imply anything about the construction of the SD card (whether in the stadium or on TV, however improbable)? But then, what about the future—what if that design engineer decides to analyze the fairness of a past football game, and becomes the first person with knowledge of the SD card's construction for whom fairness mattered?
I feel as if this is one of those 0 = 1 "proofs" where I know my thinking must be wrong, but I can't figure out the illegal step.
What understanding of "fairness" takes into account knowledge?

Visitors are frequenting beach in York to see a rarely surfaced shipwreck as officials deal with storm damage.
YORK, Maine — Visitors are frequenting Short Sands Beach to see a rarely surfaced shipwreck as officials deal with the serious business of damage caused by a nor'easter late last week and its aftermath.
Unanticipated pounding high tides over the weekend, a continuation of the week's storm, left York with "hundreds of thousands of dollars" in damage and York County as a whole with enough damage to likely qualify for federal emergency disaster funding. Police Chief Douglas Bracy, the town's emergency management director, said coastal communities had been expecting a diminution of wave activity following last Thursday's storm. Instead, he said, "every tide after Friday, it just continued. Friday night, Saturday and Sunday were terrible."
The wind came around more to the east/southeast, he said, which is when there is always damage to York, and the tides "pushed in a much larger surge than we were expecting." He said beach erosion was significant, and he anticipates that both Short Sands Beach and Long Sands Beach lost as much as 8 feet of sand.
As a result, for instance, the skeleton of the 18th-century shipwreck was once again uncovered on Short Sands Beach, causing people to flock to York Beach over the weekend and on Monday as well.
Many roads had been closed throughout the weekend, and several remained closed Monday.
Bracy said there still needs to be an assessment conducted of potential damage to the Cliff Walk, the Fishermen's Walk and the Nubble. He anticipates that he will have a clearer picture by week's end.
Meanwhile, York's damage is being tallied up along with damage up and down the York County coast, said Art Cleaves, director of York County Emergency Management. York, Ogunquit, Wells, Kennebunk, Biddeford, Saco and Old Orchard Beach are all reporting damage, he said.
"We saw water inundation levels we haven't seen (since) the Patriot's Day Storm" in 2007. He agreed with Bracy's assessment that the weekend surges took everyone by surprise as the weather reports were predicting diminishing tides. "We're seeing seven tides" worth of damage, he said.
He said the monetary level for a Federal Emergency Management Agency emergency declaration is $1.8 million in damages statewide. "I think we will meet the threshold in York County to cover the state, if these early estimates hold." He expects to have a clearer picture by week's end.
The shipwreck on Short Sands Beach has been a welcome sight amid the damage.
The skeleton only appears periodically — the last time was in 2013 — always after a significant coastal storm, and it always attracts attention. Archaeological work conducted in 1980 indicated the wreck is a sloop of about Revolutionary War age. It is likely a "pinky," a type of vessel with a high, narrow stern and square rigging easily maneuverable along the coast of Maine. Pinkies were popular as fishing and cargo vessels.
The first sighting of the skeleton was in 1958, and then it has surfaced periodically right up to the present day — and usually after a good spring nor'easter.
Word spread quickly about this sighting via social media, and people came over the weekend and on Monday as well. First, they had to navigate the seaweed- and rock-strewn streets of York Beach. They were also precluded from parking cars in most of the Ellis Park lot, which was buried under a layer of sand stretching as far back as Ocean Avenue. In fact, a front-end loader could be seen Monday morning shoveling bucket loads of sand back onto the beach.
Those making it to the beach were rewarded, though, by the remarkable sight of this ancient vessel's skeleton. This particular time, not only were the ribs exposed, but so were parts of the underside of the boat.
Elizabeth Johnson, now a Florida resident, was in town visiting her father, Jim Williams. Born and raised in York, she had never seen the shipwreck before. "So when I saw on Facebook yesterday that a friend of mine had come down here with her kids, I said, 'The boat! It's here! I can finally see it.'
"It's so neat to see those wooden pegs and everything. It's a real piece of history," she said.
Jonathan Mayhew, of Newmarket, New Hampshire, works in Portsmouth, and said when he saw a posting on Facebook about it, he had to make a trip to the beach. "It's fantastic," he said of the skeleton. With his wife's parents living in York, he said he often comes to Short Sands Beach in the summer.
"It's amazing to think when I come down here in the summer that this is underneath me. It makes you wonder what else is down there that we don't even know about," he said.

In my ideal world I make breakfast everyday. In my ideal world, I have already reached 80 breakfasts many times over. I wake up at dawn and putter around the kitchen, preparing delicious breakfasts in the sunrise's golden glow.
But, as you are undoubtedly aware, neither you nor I live in an ideal world. Well, ok, perhaps you do, in which case, lucky you 🙂 Over here though, breakfast plans are often pushed back in favor of a few more moments of sleep, late nights of work (or play), or simply not enough intersecting morning time between C's schedule and mine. And although I truly do love early mornings in my heart, my body does not seem to love them as much. So most mornings, it's out the door with C, and me settling to work with coffee and some sort of cereal or yogurt.
There are times, however, through fate, luck, or pure determination, I find myself in that ideal world. The sun is rising, coaxing me out of bed. Miraculously I get up at first bidding. It seems that the morning is just full of empty hours to fill. I have time to water the plants. The fridge is full of eggs and bacon. All those breakfast dishes and recipes I have tucked away seem to be right at the top of my mind, ready to spill out at the slightest provocation. When this happens I make sure to take full advantage!
I liked this dish at first sight – a savory tart (something I love but don't get to eat often) that seemed to be created for a breakfast-lover (and a bacon and eggs lover!) just like me. Around the same time, I had also found ready-made puff pastry here (no, we didn't always have ready-made puff pastry on our shelves). So it was practically begging to be made.
Bacon and Egg Pies
(adapted from Donna Hay's Modern Classics I, page 158)
- 1 sheet ready-made puff pastry (mine is 9.5 x 9.5 inches, you will have some scraps left over…use them for this!)
- 6 strips of bacon (Donna rationed 2 rashers per person, but I felt we deserved 3 each)
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (Donna used cheddar)
- 1 – 1 1/2 teaspoons wholegrain mustard
- 4 eggs
– Preheat the oven to 200C (400F).
– Place bacon on a baking sheet and place in the pre-heated oven for about 8-10 minutes. You just want to get the edges a bit crisp. Remember you are going to be baking it again with the tart! When done, drain on paper towels.
– Thaw pastry (in my kitchen this takes two seconds so I make sure everything is ready before taking it out of the freezer) and cut to fit two 1-cup capacity pie dishes (I just used whatever I thought would fit).
– Spread mustard on the pastry bases and sprinkle with the cheese.
– Top this with three pieces of bacon for each pie. I like to curve them around so they will cradle the eggs.
– Break two eggs over each pie.
– Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the eggs have set to your liking. Serve immediately.
– Serves two.
I have scaled down the original recipe to serve 2 instead of 4 and made substitutions based on what was available (I've indicated most of them above).
What surprised me the most was how much C liked this. He hardly has breakfast, but when he does, he is more of the Pinoy Breakfast school – i.e. with rice. But he mmm'd and aah'd more than I expected and then, the final compliment, declared that it was "just like the picture!". Since this was a Donna Hay recipe (with a corresponding Donna Hay picture), being "just like the picture" was a pretty nice pat on the back for me 🙂
Keep an eye on the eggs so if you like them runny you can be sure to pull them out before they set too much. The flavors of the mustard and cheese go so well with the eggs and bacon. The pastry makes it a perfect breakfast package. And the best part? It is extremely simple and quick to make (so you don't actually have to have all that extra time in the morning)! A little reminder that even if you don't live in an ideal world, you can still have an ideal breakfast 🙂

Raymond 7, G.F. 6
The Kilowatts made a thrilling rally in the bottom of the ninth, but could not overcome an earlier ninth inning home run by Raymond's Mike Jeseritz as the Rockets snuck away with a 7-6 victory Sunday night at Richter Field.
Raymond struck early and accumulated a 3-1 lead after six inning. In the seventh inning, with the score now 4-1, the Kilowatts began to mount their comeback scoring three runs to briefly tie the game.
Raymond, however, just kept adding runs. Two came in the eight, before Jeseritz put the game out of reach—over the left-field wall.
For the Kilowatts, Craig Listul hit a solo home run, and Tyler Kanten was 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI.
Granite Falls, now 2-3 overall, hosts Sacred Heart on Friday.

Granite Falls 9, Montevideo 3
Six runs in the first inning was all the cushion Granite Falls starter Dylan Lindstrom needed as he and the Kilowatts shut down Montevideo 9-3 Friday at Richter Field.
Granite Falls' first four batters of the game all reached base, and four hits and a sacrifice fly brought them in to open up the early 6-0 lead.
Lindstrom would then lock it down; going six innings for the win while giving up just three hits, two runs (only one earned) and striking out five.
Phil Johnson was 2-for-3 with a double and Andrew Walters had three hits, a double and two RBIs for the Kilowatts.

The "paper or plastic" question — a hallmark of the modern grocery shopping experience — has been all but outlawed in the small coastal town of Solana Beach.
The City Council decision Wednesday night makes Solana Beach the first in the county to remove single-use plastic bags from grocery stores, retailers and restaurants. Nearly all the city's restaurants, grocery stores and pharmacies will have about three months to comply with the new rules.
Environmentalists have long viewed the bags as a scourge on the planet because they take years to break down. Volunteers collect them by the thousands during regional cleanup events. Many beach advocates are hopeful that Wednesday's decision will spark a regional trend and ultimately help force a statewide bag ban.
Solana Beach officials said Wednesday that Councilwoman Lesa Heebner, the city's SANDAG representative will likely take heat over the bag ban issue at the regional board soon.
"I'm proud ... that we're doing this," said Councilman Mike Nichols before the council quickly reached consensus on the ban. "I hope that we're not the last."
Whether or not that happens, Solana Beach has bolstered its reputation as a "green" city, a reputation that goes back to at least 1992, when it banned smoking in restaurants, hotels and offices. About a decade later it outlawed smoking on its beaches, the first prohibition of its kind in the continental U.S.
San Francisco helped lead the charge against plastic bags when it outlawed them in 2007, generating copycat ordinances up and down the California coast and in cities nationwide. In Southern California, Laguna Beach, Manhattan Beach and Santa Monica have joined the anti-bag movement.
"From our point of view, and for the most part from our residents, the implementation of our ban has been relatively painless — even on the side of the stores. They have been very cooperative and compliant, and a lot of them are realizing that this is actually saving them money," said Dean Kubani, sustainability director for Santa Monica.
Kubani said the rules have essentially eliminated the use of 26 million bags a year — without a legal challenge since the law took effect last year. While an increase in paper bag use was seen immediately following the ban on plastic bags, residents apparently look to avoid the extra fee.
"I have talked to checkers who say that people really don't want to spend 10 cents on a paper bag," Kubani said. "Basically, the city's ordinance is training people to bring their own bags."
About 24 billion plastic bags a year are unloaded into landfills in California, and less than 5 percent of single-use bags are recycled, according to Heal the Bay in Santa Monica, a group that advocates for more controls.
Solana Beach's decision Wednesday night also puts in place rules that require stores to charge customers at least 10 cents for each paper bag they use, a move city officials hope will push consumers away from one-time use bags and make it routine for them to bring reusable bags to stores throughout the city, as it seemingly has in Santa Monica.
While proactive enforcement isn't built into the new ordinance, stores found violating it can be charged up to $1,000. To the council, the punishment fits. "This is the right thing to do," Councilman Dave Roberts said. "When you think about six and a half million single-use bags every year just in Solana Beach ... to me it's just astronomical."
Efforts to reach the plastics industry on Wednesday were not successful, but the American Chemistry Council, which represented plastic bag manufacturers, sent a letter to Solana Beach last fall opposing the ban. It urged the City Council to promote plastic bag recycling along with reusable bags, and it raised questions about the legality of a ban.
It's unclear how many local cities will follow Solana Beach's lead. In San Diego city, the issue hasn't gotten much traction and that doesn't appear destined to change soon.
"The plastic bag ban is not something that's on our radar," said Kevin Smith, who works for Councilman David Alvarez on natural resource issues. "We are focused on other priorities, which include looking at our water-rate system."
At Heal the Bay, water quality director Kirsten James said dozens of bag laws across California are building toward the need for a law to unify the patchwork of approaches. She said about 1 in 6 Californians is covered by some sort of bag-reduction act.
A statewide ban failed a few years ago, but James said the momentum created in places such as Solana Beach show demand is building.

Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) is the ranking Republican on the Appropriations subcommittee dealing with environmental issues. He is currently working to end subsidies for wind power, an energy source that he dubs "a scam."
"We don't have the money" to continue the subsidies, Alexander told Heritage in our latest segment of In the Green Room. "It's a puny amount of electricity," he added, "and it's destroying the environment in the name of saving the environment."
Alexander agreed that subsidies for other energy sectors should also be eliminated, but he stressed that renewable energy gets far more taxpayer support than its competitors in the fossil fuel and nuclear energy industries.
"I think most people would be surprised to learn that Big Wind subsidies are even bigger than the subsidies that benefit oil directly," Alexander said, echoing a point that Heritage has repeatedly stressed.
Alexander also noted the importance of "do[ing] everything we can to find more North American oil and gas."
The interview runs about 3 minutes. Hosted by Lachlan Markay and produced by Brandon Stewart. For more videos from Heritage, subscribe to our YouTube channel.

The future of Clemson University is rooted in its past, back to the days when Thomas Green Clemson and his wife Anna Calhoun Clemson called Fort Hill their home. It was in this house that they dreamed of a high seminary of learning for South Carolina. What began as discussions between a husband and wife in this historic house has grown into one of the nation's leading public universities.

Saturn began production of the L-Series cars in 1999 for the launch for the 2000 model year. The Saturn L-Series of cars was a line midsize sedans and station wagons that were manufactured and marketed between 2000 and 2005. The cars were manufactured at the GM plant in Delaware and were based on the Opel Vectra, which had been on the market in various forms since 1988 in the U.K. and other parts of the world. The midsize car came as a four-door sedan or station wagon.
Although Saturn had made cars since the 1990s, this was one of the first to be introduced with a V-6 engine as well as a four-cylinder engine as found in all of its previous midsize cars. When unveiled, there were five different models available of the car that was introduced as a faster, roomier, and more luxurious car by Saturn. The five initial models were the LS, LS1, and LS2 sedans; the LW1 and LW2 station wagon versions of the Saturn L-Series. The basic level was available as a sedan only.
The first Saturn L-Series cars were completed in May of 1999. The LS, LS1, and LW1 were all equipped with the four-cylinder engine, while the LS2 and LW2 versions came with the V-6 engine. The four-cylinder engine was a 2.2-liter Ecotec engine that had a power rating of 140 horsepower and produced 145 lb.-ft. of torque. The Ecotec was a new engine from GM, and the Saturn L-Series was one of the first cars to be equipped with it. The V-6 engine was a Saab engine, but that did not have the turbocharger installed. It was a 3.0-liter V-6 engine with a power rating of 182 horsepower and a torque rating of 190 lb.-ft.
As with other vehicles made by Saturn, the Saturn L-Series was built using dent and rust-resistant polymer panels. The front fenders, bumper fascias, and all the doors were made from using the polymer panels. The rest of the car was built using steel. All models were front-wheel drive, and could seat five passengers comfortably. In the rear of both the sedan and the station wagon, the seat had a 60/40 fold to provide for greater cargo storage. Anti-lock brakes were an option and were coupled with traction control when installed.
With the launch of the 2004 model year, the Saturn L-Series gained anti-lock brakes and traction control as standard features. The five-speed manual transmission was dropped, so that all cars were equipped with four-speed automatic transmission only. All sedans and station wagons were renamed L300.1, L300.2, or the L300.3. The L300.1 was equipped with the four-cylinder engine and had no options, while the L300.2 had the V-6 engine and range of options. The L300.3 was the premium trim level, and was fitted with the V-6 engine.
The final year for the Saturn L-Series was 2005, and only sedans were available as the station wagons were discontinued.
When the first generation of the Saturn L-Series was released, the base model was equipped with the four-cylinder engine and a five-speed manual transmission. The LS1 sedan and LW1 station wagon versions were also equipped with the four-cylinder engine and the manual transmission, but comfort features were added such as power mirrors, windows, and locks and keyless entry. The premium LS2 sedan and LW2 wagon were fitted with the V-6 engine and a four-speed automatic transmission. The automatic transmission was the only transmission fitted on the LS2 and LW2, while a four-speed automatic transmission was available as an option for the three lower trim levels. The premium trim levels also featured further comfort features. Air conditioning and an AM/FM radio was included as standard features for all trim levels.
With the introduction of the 2001 model year vehicles, the designations for the Saturn L-Series changed from LS, LS1, LS2, LW1, and LW2 to L100, L200, L300, LW200, and LW300. The Saturn L-Series sedan and station wagon with the 300 designation were fitted with the 3.0-liter V-6 engine. A larger fuel tank was installed in all of the vehicles, and seat belts were added for the center position in the rear. Side curtain airbags became an option available for all the different versions of the car.
Little changed for the release of the 2002 model year sedans and station wagons of the Saturn L-Series. Anti-lock brakes and traction control became standard features for all cars, as did the side curtain airbags. Six-spoke chrome alloy wheels were a new option, as well as automatic air conditioning and a rear DVD entertainment system.
For the 2003 model year, all trim levels underwent a refresh, except the base-level sedan, which was dropped from the lineup. The rear of the car was updated, and the front received a new grille as well as new headlights. Inside, the instrument panel was updated. Finally, 16-inch alloy wheels became standard for the LS300 and LW300, while it remained an option for the LS200 and LW200. The anti-lock braking system and traction control were made optional again. The L-Series was discontinued in favor of the larger Saturn Aura, which went out of production when the brand folded in 2009.
2005 Saturn L-Series
Midsize, Sedan
The 2005 Saturn L-Series is a generous vehicle with ample lines and an attractive exterior.
2004 Saturn L-Series
Midsize, Sedan, Wagon
The 2004 Saturn L Series comes in two body styles: a sedan and a wagon.
2003 Saturn L-Series
The 2003 Saturn L-Series still has the dent and rust-resistant polymer body side panels attached to the skeleton steel space frame with a significant amount of interior and exterior changes.
2002 Saturn L-Series
Although the Saturn was considerably cheaper than many of its competitors.
2001 Saturn L-Series
The 2001 Saturn L Series is available as both a sedan and a wagon and in a number of different trim levels, including the base model L100, midlevel L200, and line-topping L300.

beth23 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 220 designs submitted by 46 freelance designers.
I'm excited to begin using a new logo on my upcoming website and likely on my business cards as well. I'd like the look to be fairly simple and most definitely beautiful. I hope you can help me with this!
My website domain (the website itself isn't ready yet) is: heart-of-therapy.com, and the tagline will probably read: uncover the truth of your radiant heart. As such, I'm definitely imagining that the core of the design will be in the shape of a heart. I'm also envisioning a heart that looks like it's opening or somehow expanding and is filled with (some degree of, though not intense amounts) of light. You can play around with what you might imagine this to look like. There might even be some kind of flowering or an opening of a flower (particularly a lotus flower) in or around the heart. I'd be especially happy to see some logos with the flower in the design and some without.
Also, I'm not yet sure whether or not I'd want the words, "The Heart of Therapy." in the logo. Please feel free to play around with this as well. If you do use the words, I think the font of the word, "Heart" would be bigger and fancier/prettier than the rest.
In terms of colors, I'm definitely interested in a plum-like color perhaps coupled with something in a light pink, or a darker plum, coupled with a lighter plum. Definitely in the purple/plum/pink family.
Thank you, and good luck!
The heart of therapy: uncover the truth of your radiant heart
I'm a warm and open therapist looking for a logo to reflect my style. I've already written about what I'd like to be designed: a heart that looks like it's opening or expanding and is filled with or surrounded by some degree of light. There can also be a lotus flower in or somehow around the heart, which is opening, or perhaps fully open.
I'd like to see some heart-shaped logos with the opening of the flower included and some without. Similarly, I'd like to see some logos with the words, "The Heart of Therapy," and some without the words. I'll be able to choose the one I most want with a few different looks/styles/possibilities from the same designer. Thanks for this!
Also, as stated, I'd love to have the colors be in the plum/purple/pink family.
- Beautiful, elegant, creative design
- Plum-type colors (or some close variation thereof) -- this one is really important. I've seen a number of people play around with other colors and I'm quite certain I'm looking for colors that mostly resemble plum. Thank you!
- Nothing cartoon-like please
- Nothing too abstract, think elegant, instead
- No green colors, even if putting in lotus flowers, please

It looks like Verizon is not yet ready to let AT&T have all the fun tomorrow with the launch of those Windows Phone 8 devices. Tonight at 1AM ET (10PM PT), the big wireless carrier will begin preorders for the Nokia Lumia 822 (press) and HTC 8X (press).
No firm release date was given though both phones are expected "before Thanksgiving" meaning we're looking at the 3rd week of November for release. The HTC 8X will uniquely feature wireless charging, competing with AT&T and their Lumia 920 for new features. In addition, the Lumia 822 will also feature the wireless charging technology built in, allowing customers of both devices to enjoy the hassle free power refills.
The Nokia Lumia 822 will go for $99 on contract (after $50 MIR) while the HTC 8X will fetch for $199--on par with AT&T--but will come only in 16GB sizes with California Blue, Graphite Black and Flame Red colors. The Lumia 822 will be available in white, black and grey.

Slate's mistakes.
In the April 19 "Dear Prudence," Emily Yoffe originally misspelled Genghis Khan's surname as "Kahn."
In an April 19 "Future Tense" blog post, Ryan Gallagher wrote that the head of the United Kingdom Independence Party and three of his colleagues voted against a controversial European Parliament measure regarding the sale of surveillance technology to authoritarian countries. Six members of the UKIP voted against the measure.
In the April 18 "Crime," Emily Bazelon wrote that Lafayette Parish neighbors New Orleans. It is about 90 miles away.

In an April 17 "Moneybox" blog post, Matthew Yglesias misspelled Washington Post reporter Brad Plumer's last name.
In a April 16 "TV Club," Patrick Radden Keefe misidentified the part of Don Draper's face with which he mentioned ringing Pete Campbell's doorbell. It's his chin, not his nose.
In an April 15 "Politics" article, John Dickerson referred to Dmitry Medvedev as Russia's former president. Medvedev is in office until May 7.
In the April 10 "Explainer," Forrest Wickman incorrectly described the process by which one large company buys another. The executives rarely assemble in one place to exchange paperwork. Nor do they usually meet up for a "closing dinner" to celebrate the deal. That was how it worked in the 1990s; today, lawyers for the companies finalize a deal via email or conference call.

HYDRA Engine by Lucid - Multi-GPU Technology with No Strings Attached
SLI and CrossFire could be done
Who is Lucid?
You probably haven't heard of Lucid before, also known as LucidLogix. They are a fab-less semiconductor company meaning they design chips but outsource the manufacturing to other companies like TSMC. NVIDIA and ATI are also fab-less though obviously Lucid is a much smaller organization. The company has backing from several investors including Intel Capital and has over 50 patents (or patent applications) for their first technology we are looking at here.
While the company itself might not be overly exciting, the HYDRA Engine technology they are showcasing this week certainly is.
What is the HYDRA Engine?
At its most basic level the HYDRA Engine is an attempt to build a completely GPU-independent graphics scaling technology - imagine having NVIDIA graphics cards from the GeForce 6600 to the GTX 280 working together with little to no software overhead with nearly linear performance scaling. HYDRA uses both software and hardware designed by Lucid to improve gaming performance seamlessly to the application and graphics cards themselves and uses dedicated hardware logic to balance graphics information between the CPU and GPUs.
Why does Lucid feel the traditional methods that NVIDIA and AMD/ATI have been implementing are not up to the challenge? The two primary multi-GPU rendering modes that both companies use are split frame rendering and alternate frame rendering. Lucid challenges that both have significant pitfalls that their HYDRA Engine technology can correct. For split frame rendering the down side is the need for all GPUs to replicate ALL the texture and geometry data and thus memory bandwidth and geometry shader limitations of a single GPU remain. For alternate frame rendering the drawback is latency introduced by alternating frames between X GPUs and latency required for inter-frame dependency resolution.
How it Works
HYDRA is a dedicated silicon with sole purpose of scaling GPUs. Though there is no graphics processing logic on the HYDRA chip, what the chip can do is redistribute graphics workloads across multiple GPUs in real-time.
The HYDRA technology also includes a unique software driver that rests between the DirectX architecture and the GPU vendor driver.
The distribution engine as it is called is responsible for reading the information passed from the game or application to DirectX before it gets to the NVIDIA or AMD drivers. There the engine breaks up the various blocks of information into "tasks" - a task is a specific job that HYDRA defines that can be passed to any of the 2-4 GPUs in the system. A task might be something like a specific lighting effect, a post processing run, a specific model being drawn, etc. The company founders on hand at the meeting were a little vague about the algorithms that decide how, and what parts, of the DirectX data are going to be defined as "tasks" - it is obvious that this is part of the magic that gives HYDRA its power; it is with these task definitions that the hardware logic can efficiently distribute the work load across many GPUs.
Once the tasks have been created, they are then sent over the PCI Express bus to the HYDRA chip where they are VERY quickly processed and split between 2 to 4 GPUs. The HYDRA Engine passes off these tasks to the GPU, awaits a result and return of finished data or pixels, and is then responsible for passing that information on to one of the GPUs for final output to a monitor. At the outset, this doesn't sound that much different than what NVIDIA and AMD already do with AFR and SFR rendering modes, but after seeing the HYDRA technology at work it is obviously something very different.
By essentially intercepting the DirectX calls from the game to the graphics cards, the HYDRA Engine is able to intelligently break up the rendering workload rather than just "brute-forcing" alternate frames or split frames as both GPU vendors are doing today in SLI and CrossFire. And according to Lucid all of this is done with virtually no CPU overhead and no latency compared to standard single GPU rendering.
To accompany this ability to intelligently divide up the graphics workload, Lucid is offering up scaling between GPUs of any KIND within a brand (only ATI with ATI, NVIDIA with NVIDIA) and the ability to load balance GPUs based on performance and other criteria. The load balancing is based on a couple of key data points: pre-existing knowledge from the Lucid team about the GPU in question and the "response time" of the GPU when being sent data from the HYDRA Engine chip. The HYDRA driver will actually recognize the GPUs in a system and will estimate how much processing power each holds but will then fine tune that estimate based on real-time performance of the GPU in action. If a GPU is sent a "task" to perform and the return time on it is slower than expected, the HYDRA engine will back off slightly and send more "tasks" to the less-loaded GPUs. All of this is updated on the fly, in real time as the game is running.
With the ability to divide up the graphics processing into tasks and monitor GPU load, the HYDRA engine offers up some very interesting types of GPU scaling. Yes, it can and will sometimes run standard split frame rendering - this is very efficient for per-pixel processing heavy workloads. However, the HYDRA can also implement some much more interesting divisions of work.
What you are seeing above is two monitors, each displaying the workload of a single GPU in a dual 9800 GT configuration. This of course wouldn't normally be how a game is presented to users - it is simply a way to demonstrate their technology to the press. Before the images are merged again you'll see two very different screens - one has some rendered areas of a level of UT3 with some areas completely in black while the other monitor has the inverse - opposite rendered areas and black areas.
Click to Enlarge - merged image on the left, half of the rendered image on the right; notice no floor on the right, etc.
This is the power of the task-driven graphics workload division. You can clearly see that some of the "items" in the world are being rendered by one GPU while the background and trees by another. There is no rigid requirement of certain size or shapes of divisions and thus many of problems found in "box rendering" are avoided. If Lucid is to be believed, this is the division of tasks that are about "even" in required rendering power. Lucid pointed out there are many other split rendering methods that it uses in the background for games but that demonstrating them to the end users in any way is pretty difficult to do - techniques like blending pixels in a frame buffer for example.
Even more importantly though is that this rendering method is NOT predefined by any driver profile as with NVIDIA's and AMD's SLI and CrossFire technology. Instead, because of HYDRA Engine's pre-processing work, the rendering method can and will change throughout the game and sometimes even inside of individual frames. The HYDRA chip itself does some of this algorithmic work with help from the driver and task setup process.

When colorectal cancer is discovered in the early stages, chance of a cure is nearly 90 percent. Sometimes staging is not complete until after surgery to remove the tumor.
- Stage 0 or Carcinoma in situ: Cancer is found only in the innermost and most superficial lining of the colon or rectum.
- Stage I: Cancer cells have grown into the inner wall of the colon or rectum, but not through the wall.
- Stage II: The tumor extends more deeply into or through the wall of the colon or rectum. It may have invaded nearby tissue, but cancer cells have not spread to the lymph nodes.
- Stage III: Cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes, but not to other parts of the body.
- Stage IV: Cancer has spread to other parts of the body, such as the liver or lungs.
- Recurrence: Cancer that has been treated and has returned after a period of time when it could not be detected. The disease may return in the colon or the rectum, or in another part of the body.
