On my way home…. I love this lifePosted Monday, April 9, 2012, at 6:29 PM
This first photos are deer we saw on our way home a couple weekends ago. They were just about literally 'swarming' all over the road. Doesn't bother us to drive slowly and enjoy the sights available to admire.
THESE photos are from this last Saturday, on my way home from a photo session. They were again swarming all over, and I had to keep stopping, ... I'm glad I did,...I think I got some amazing shots!
I don't know if you've heard me say it...but I do love this country. What's NOT to love? Isn't this beautiful?
A bit closer to home, I came across Antelope.
ahhh.... good stuff

Absolutely wonderful Jessie. Keep hunting with the camera!

I never went hunting myself. Dad was a little sexist that way. But I love to see the animals in those unexpected places.
Thank you

I am interested in this Community, County, and the beautiful state of Idaho. Most of my photos will be in Idaho, but from time to time, they will be my vacations aay from Idaho. You'll see lots of my Children and Grand children, along with others in my family. Of course there will be horses and horse related things, and things I photo'd horseback.

Abstract. Tony Hoare has always been a leader in writing down and proving properties of programs. To prove properties of programs automatically, the most widely used technology today is by far the ubiquitous type checker. Alas, static type systems inevitably exclude some good programs and allow some bad ones. This dilemma motivates us to describe some fun we've been having with Haskell, by making the type system more expressive without losing the benefits of automatic proof and compact expression.
Haskell's type system extends Hindley-Milner with two distinctive features: polymorphism over type constructors and overloading using type classes. These features have become integral to Haskell, and they are widely used and appreciated. More recently, Haskell has been enriched with type families, which allows functions on types to be expressed as straightforwardly as functions on values. This facility makes it easier for programmers to effectively extend the compiler by writing functional programs that execute during type-checking.
This paper gives a programmer's tour of type families as they are supported in GHC today.
Abstract. We report on an extension of Haskell with open type-level functions and equality constraints that unifies earlier work on GADTs, functional dependencies, and associated types. The contribution of the paper is that we identify and characterise the key technical challenge of entailment; and we give a novel, decidable, sound, and complete algorithm to solve it, together with some practically-important variants. Our system is implemented in GHC, and is already in active use.
Abstract. We report on an extension of Haskell with type(-level) functions and equality constraints. We illustrate their usefulness in the context of phantom types, GADTs and type classes. Problems in the context of type checking are identified and we sketch our solution: a decidable type checking algorithm for a restricted class of type functions. Moreover, functional dependencies are now obsolete: we show how they can be encoded as type functions.
Abstract. Haskell programmers often use a multi-parameter type class in which one or more type parameters are functionally dependent on the first. Although such functional dependencies have proved quite popular in practice, they express the programmer's intent somewhat indirectly. Developing earlier work on associated data types, we propose to add functionally-dependent types as type synonyms to type-class bodies. These associated type synonyms constitute an interesting new alternative to explicit functional dependencies.
Abstract. In this paper, we explore an extension to Haskell type classes that allows a type class declaration to define data types as well as values (or methods). Similarly, an instance declaration gives a witness for such data types, as well as a witness for each method. It turns out that this extension directly supports the idea of a type-indexed type, and is useful in many applications, especially for self-optimising libraries that adapt their data representations and algorithms in a type-directed manner.
Crucially, just as Haskell's existing type-class mechanism can be explained by translation into System F, so we can explain our extension by translation into System F, and we do so in full detail. This is a valuable property since it ensures that the addition of associated data types to an existing Haskell compiler leads to changes in the front end only.

Terrible product, made huge mess
By Jim
from NH
About Me Parent
Immediately started finding balls everywhere. Our daughter has a stuffed bunny that she sleeps with every night. The balls were so entangled in the bunny's fur that we had to wash it overnight. The balls then got all in our washing machine and dryer, and over everything else that we washed. I am not one to write reviews, but wanted to warn other parents about this!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

We used this foam for a 2nd grade habitat project. It starts off strong molding into many different shapes (we were doing coral) but eventually falls apart or "wilts" . Still it was colorful and fun and worked in the end.

AMAZING!! Throw out your playdough!
By Chels
from Mississauga, Ontario
About Me First Time Parent
We have an almost 3 year old - we bought this last night and it was a hit - not just with our Son but with us! It allows him to be creative, make things and we don't have to worry about it sticking to the rug, floor or us! Not sure what it's made of but it stays together and allows you to make things - we even added pipe cleaners and googly eyes to make bugs! Great product - wish we had found it sooner!
Merchant response: Ah, Chels, thanks for the great review!
Perfect For Goodie Bags/Stocking Stuffer
By The Learning Mommy
from Sharpsburg, Ga
About Me Education Oriented, First Time Parent, Stay At Home Parent
My 4 year-old loves his Playfoam! We use it for everyday fun play and during our "learning time." My son is always excited to form the Playfoam into whatever we are currently learning about; letters, numbers, animals, etc. I recently purchased the 20 pack to use throughout the coming months. I will pack a few of the individual Playfoam packets to bring on an upcoming trip for hours of mess free, creative fun. Others will be saved to use as holiday stocking stuffers and for birthday party goodie bags. My only complaint is with the sparkle packs. The glitter does come off and is a hassle to clean, but I simply save those packs for outside play. I imagine they would be perfect for princess/fairy themed play.
Merchant response: Thanks, Mommy!
A must have!!!
By Chaeli's Mommy
from Somers, CT
About Me First Time Parent, Stay At Home Parent
I purchased this item when it was listed on Zulily for my daughter's 4th birthday. It is amazing! She has now had it over 6 months and it is still going strong. She mixed all the colors into one big mound and uses it for so many different things. She makes animals out of it, pretends it is food for her dinosaurs, makes costumes for her dinosaurs, etc, etc, etc! We keep the big pile stored in a Tubberware bowl when she isn't using it but it gets used almost daily and still hasn't dried out. The colors have faded a lot, but she doesn't care and neither do it. She also has gotten it on the carpet and even stepped on it and squished it right in. It came right up. This is one of these best inventions ever!
Merchant response: WOW! We couldn't have asked for a better review. Thanks so much for posting!
We Love PlayFoam
By MomMomOnTheGo
from British Columbia Canada
About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Working Parent
My 4 year old Loves PlayFoam. She loves the variety of colors. She likes to mold it into items, shapes and designs. She really loves mixing all the colors together.I love PlayFoam because if it is left out, it never dries up. PlayFoam does not stick to the furniture or clothing either. It has sparkles in it so make sure it is used in the play area or on a surface you can wipe because it will be decorated with sparkles :), but they wipe off.
Merchant response: MomOnTheGo, thanks for taking time out to tell us how great Playfoam is - we agree! Just say no to messes and YES to great big fun!

Somewhere in England is an album by George Harrison, released in 1981. Recorded as Harrison was becoming increasingly frustrated with the music industry, the album's making was a long one, and witnessed a tragic event in Harrison's life.
Content to move at his own speed, Harrison began recording Somewhere In England in the autumn of 1979 and would continue at a sporadic pace, finally delivering the album to Warner Bros. Records in September 1980. However, the powers that be at Warner Bros. rejected it, ordering Harrison to drop four of its songs ("Tears Of The World", "Sat Singing", "Lay His Head" and "Flying Hour") which they somehow found too downbeat. Harrison's original cover art, featuring his profile against a map of Great Britain would also be vetoed by Warner Bros. With Harrison already feeling unable to relate to the current post-punk and New Wave musical climate, he acceded to their requests, but knew that when his recording contract came up for renewal after his next album, he wouldn't bother re-signing. Interestingly, a survey conducted in 2006 of the top 50 most popular 'Harrisongs' on the official George Harrison.com message boards included only one song from Somewhere in England ("Life Itself," #29), yet included three of the four rejected songs ("Flying Hour" at #14, "Lay His Head" at #27, and "Sat Singing" at #41).
Picking up the project again in November, Harrison was joined in his home studio at Friar Park in Henley-on-Thames by none other than Ringo Starr, who arrived specifically to have Harrison produce some songs for him. Recorded were two Harrison originals "Wrack My Brain" and "All Those Years Ago" plus a cover of "You Belong To Me" for Starr's impending album Can't Fight Lightning which was later released as Stop and Smell the Roses. Two songs were finished but "All Those Years Ago" went unadorned. Starr later admitted that the key was too high for him to sing. During this period, Harrison had received word that John Lennon was slightly hurt over his biography I Me Mine, which, in Lennon's estimation, praised every musician Harrison had worked with except him. Unfortunately, Harrison was never able to make amends with Lennon; on 8 December 1980, Lennon was gunned down outside the The Dakota apartment building by Mark David Chapman.
After the shock and devastation of Lennon's murder, Harrison decided to utilise the unfinished recording of "All Those Years Ago". He changed the lyrics of the song to reflect the Lennon tragedy. With Starr's pre-recorded drum track in place, Harrison invited Paul and Linda McCartney, and their fellow Wings band-mate Denny Laine, to record backing vocals in early 1981. Aside "All Those Years Ago", "Blood From A Clone" (a searing indictment of the current music scene), "Teardrops" and "That Which I Have Lost" were added to replace the four discarded songs, and after a new cover was shot in the Tate Gallery in London, Somewhere In England was resubmitted and accepted.
"All Those Years Ago" was released as the lead-off single that May to, hardly surprisingly, a very strong response. Reaching #13 in the UK and #2 in the US, it was Harrison's biggest hit since "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)" in 1973, and Somewhere In England benefited from its placement on the album. Peaking at #13 in the UK and #11 in the US, these chart positions were, superficially, Harrison's best transatlantic album peaks in some time, yet Somewhere In England actually sold less than it would appear, since its chart life - in both countries - was brief, and it became Harrison's first proper studio album to fail to reach gold status in the US. It was generally overlooked by the public, with follow-up single "Teardrops" reaching only #101 in the US.
In 2004, Somewhere In England was remastered and reissued, both separately and as part of the deluxe box set The Dark Horse Years 1976-1992, on Dark Horse Records with new distribution by EMI, adding the bonus track demo version of "Save The World", recorded in 1980. Specially for this reissue, Harrison's originally rejected artwork was now reinstated.

How to Play Foosball
by thedayofgames on Aug.28, 2011, under Products
PART III of the series… "Should I Apply to Become an About.com Guide? No."
You have probably played a little in college, or maybe you are a proud new owner of your very own foosball table. Welcome to the foosball community! As with most bar games, there are a variety of different rules and regulations that people adhere to. Listed below you will find the most common version of the game that we all love.
The Basics:
First timers, pay attention. If you read nothing else at least know this: Foosball is like soccer, in that the goal is to put the ball in the back of the net. The more goals scored, the better. Similar to soccer, the better teams focus on defense and ball control. Beginners generally just try to whack the ball as hard as possible, but you will develop more as a player if you put some thought into your foosball play. Lastly, it's against the rules to touch the other players' rods, and spinning the rods around super fast is for rookies!
The Rules:
• The point of the game is to score more goals than the other team.
• A goal is officially scored when the ball moves past the goalie and drops into the goal box.
• Play to 7, 11, or 21 points. Some bars are limited to the number of balls provided, and some home foosball tables come with a little scoreboard, so feel free to play to whatever score you like.
• Only control the rods you are assigned to; do not touch your opponents' rods.
• Never bump the table.
• If a ball has completely stopped moving in an area of play where neither team can touch it, simply tap the ball with your finger to the nearest player. If the ball is in between two players, re-insert the ball via the ball drop on the side of the table.
• Do not spin your rods! A "spin" is when you grab the handle and whirl the rod around so that the players make consecutive revolutions around and around and around (360 degrees or more is a no-no).
• Have fun. Yes, there are people who are incredibly good at this game, but 99.9% of us are just trying to enjoy a friendly game with some friends.
Before the Game:
The first thing to decide is whether the game will be played One vs. One or Two vs. Two. The strategy and techniques vary greatly between the two versions, but it is recommended to start playing the game with a partner (Two vs. Two). Playing with teams will allow you to focus on either your offense or your defense, and it's a more social event, which is simply more enjoyable. Playing one-on-one is a more competitive version of the game.
Understanding the Table Formation:
Most foosball tables are created to resemble a soccer formation that would be described as "4-5-3". There are three forwards, five midfielders, four defensemen, and one goalie. The goalie and the rear two defenders are located on the back rod; the front defenders are located on rod No. 2. Rod No. 3 has all of the midfielders, and rod No. 4 contains the forwards. The little men stuck on those rods are called your "players". A goal is located behind each goalie. There is also a hole in which to insert the ball into play. The hole is located at the midway point of the table.
Preparing for Play:
Playing the game Two vs. Two is the best way to begin playing foosball. As you play more and more games, try to alternate between playing offense and defense. The offense is comprised of the midfielders and the forwards; it's this person's job to focus on scoring goals. The defense is comprised of the goalie and the defenders, and this person needs to stop the shots coming from the other team, clear the ball to the opposite side of the table, or pass the ball to the midfielders. In order to become a well rounded player, it's good practice to switch between offense and defense as much as possible.
First Ball in Play:
A coin can be flipped in order to determine who gets to drop in the first ball. It is against the rules to intentionally direct the ball closer to your players. Always keep in mind that foosball is generally a social game, so try not to be too competitive. Applying spin to the ball is a way of intentionally curving the ball a specific direction, so try to fling the ball straight down the mid-line.
More advanced players can actually pass the ball around the game table. The ball can be passed forward, backward, and even side to side.
There are a few techniques to being a good passer:
• Remain calm: Unlike real soccer, the opponents players can never detach from their rod and come slide tackle the ball away from you. Once you have the ball, keep your composure, and make a decision what your next move will be.
• Side passing: Scoring goals in foosball can be harder than it looks. It can take five, sometimes ten or more shots from your forwards to actually get a ball past the goalkeeper. Try using the side of the players' feet to pass the ball back and forth between your forwards. It is very tricky for the goalie to effectively remain in front of a ball that is moving back and forth.
• Wall passes: This is a soccer term that refers to a player passing the ball to a teammate who "acts as a wall" in order to return the ball to the player, who has moved down the field. In foosball, you can accomplish a wall pass by literally passing the ball against the wall. Use the corner of the players' feet to pass the ball in a diagonal direction down the playing field.

Government disaster response agency says 6,009 now confirmed dead in Philippines typhoon.
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Officials say the death toll from Typhoon Haiyan that struck the central Philippines on Nov. 8 has breached 6,000 with nearly 1,800 people missing.
The government's disaster response agency said Friday that 6,009 have been confirmed dead while 1,779 others remain unaccounted for.
The typhoon is the deadliest natural disaster on record to hit the Philippines.
Maj. Reynaldo Balido, spokesman for the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council, says at least 20 bodies are still being found daily under debris in the hardest hit city of Tacloban. Overnight, 27 deaths were added to the toll.
The homes of more than 16 million people were either flattened or damaged, and officials say rebuilding will take at least three years.

As Sudan prepares to take another major step toward implementing the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement in the coming weeks with a vote on self-determination in southern Sudan, we look forward to building on this successful partnership that has saved lives and promoted development by clearing millions of landmines, unexploded ordnance, and excess small arms, light weapons, and munitions that remain a deadly legacy of the country's 21-year civil conflict.
As many as 18 of Sudan's 25 states are affected by landmines and abandoned and explosive remnants of war, such as mortars, grenades, and artillery shells, according to a national landmine survey conducted on behalf of the United Nations Mine Action Office. As in many countries struggling to recover from conflicts, landmines and unexploded ordnance inhibit development, disrupt markets and production, prevent the delivery of goods and services, and generally obstruct reconstruction and stabilization efforts. By removing these deadly hazards, we can enable the socio-economic development needed to further the larger goal of promoting stability and security in Sudan and the wider region.
One way in which my office is working to address these issues in Sudan is by funding projects executed by nongovernmental organizations. In Southern Sudan, the UK-based Mines Advisory Group (MAG) is working through explosive ordnance disposal-small arms/light weapons destruction teams and community liaison teams to address hazards facing communities in Central, Western and Eastern Equatoria. MAG's liaison teams are deployed to a community with suspected hazardous areas. After conducting mine risk education, the teams collect data on potential hazards within the area. These data are then sent back to MAG's disposal teams who can then immediately deploy to clear the reported area. This not only addresses the problem, but increases the community's confidence in the teams, which often inspires the communities to report even more explosive hazards.
Since 2005, U.S.-funded conventional weapons destruction efforts in Sudan have funded operations by several partner organizations in addition to MAG, including Norwegian People's Aid, DanChurch Aid, and the Swiss Foundation for Mine Action, thereby contributing to landmine survey and clearance operations in the Nuba Mountains region, in Kassala State, Blue Nile State, Upper Nile, as well as the country's Western, Central, and Eastern Equatoria States.
To date, PM/WRA's efforts in Sudan, executed ably by its NGO grantees there, have resulted in the clearance of more than 1.7 million square meters of land previously littered with landmines and unexploded ordnance. More than 2,000 anti-personnel landmines and more than 800 larger anti-vehicle landmines have been safely removed, as well as hundreds of thousands of pieces of abandoned munitions and unexploded ordnance. In addition PM/WRA-funded outreach and education programs have alerted more than 70,000 area residents and displaced families to potential hazards in their communities and how to contact authorities, saving countless lives.
The U.S. Conventional Weapons Destruction Program has also made progress in confronting the security challenges in Sudan posed by excess and deteriorating munitions as well as excess small arms and light weapons that exacerbate criminality and inter-tribal feuds, and that undermine the rule of law. PM/WRA's grantees there have disposed of more than 50 metric tons of munitions and military armaments to date. More remains to be done, and we are hopeful that the situation in Sudan will enable us to continue this important work at a steady rate.
Additional U.S. support has assisted Sudan in building its own demining capacity. U.S. financial and technical support has helped establish both the National Mine Action Center in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, as well as the Southern Sudan Demining Authority in Juba. We have also provided support to Sudan's first internationally accredited humanitarian mine action nongovernmental organization, the Sudanese Integrated Mine Action Service (SIMAS) which -- with helpful support from our partners at the Swiss Foundation and additional donor support in addition to that of the United States -- should be very productive for many years to come.
The United States is proud to be a world leader in conventional weapons destruction efforts, including humanitarian mine action, having provided more than $1.8 billion in aid since 1993 to more than 80 countries, including Sudan. We're pleased to work with the Sudanese people and do our part to help them reestablish a safe and peaceful way of life.

Many thanks for this blog Emma, great that you have been able to see some of MAG's work in southern Sudan, vitally supported by WRA, and witness first hand the impact it has - both on local communities and on the security of the wider region. Here's hoping for a peaceful referendum, and thank you again for the support. Best, Kate @ MAG. For more information on MAG projects funded by WRA please visit "www.maginternational.org"

The USG should choose its partners - more - carefully:
That's the same Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) that was censured by the Norwegian parliament for gun-running during the north-south civil war.
They had hidden rifles for the SPLA under stacks of bibles and also, in the most supreme of ironies, NPA smuggled land mines for the SPLA into the Nuba Mountains, amongst other locations, too.
Copy and paste this link for further info:

Simply hideous.
So, call what they (NPA) are doing now penance - not heroism.

Opportunity and optimism: global media and entertainment CEOs see digital media as a significant driver of future growth
Los Angeles, CA, 12 September 2012 – Global media and entertainment CEOs are optimistic about the digital future and expect digital revenue will be a rapidly increasing percentage of overall revenue for companies, according to EY's latest CEO study Opportunity and optimism: How CEOs are embracing digital growth released today. The report reveals that approximately half of all CEOs surveyed believe digital will increase their overall revenues and margins by at least 10% within the next three years.
The report is the result of surveys conducted with 34 CEOs from global media and entertainment companies with combined annual revenues exceeding US$300 billion. The companies have a broad geographic span and encompass a wide variety of media and entertainment subsectors, including filmed entertainment, television, music, electronic games, entertainment services, cable networks and channels, cable and satellite operators, internet and interactive media, advertising, publishing and conglomerates.
When we asked which technologies are driving this double-digit growth in digital, 79% of CEOs said tablets.
"CEOs are undeterred about the role digital will play in their futures," said John Nendick, Global Media and Entertainment Leader at EY. "There is a heightened optimism from a few years ago when industry leaders were more tentative about the potential of digital. All of the CEOs we spoke with understand that digital is probably the single most important factor – impacting their ability to grow both revenues and margins."
Mobile devices to be the biggest driver of growth in content consumption
The report also addresses the impact of "digital ecosystems" through which consumers view and share content on a multitude of interconnected devices. Ecosystems are accelerating the ability for consumers to discover, choose and enjoy media, with media and entertainment companies bundling and marketing their products and services specifically for these individual digital ecosystems.
"The integration of media content, devices and networks creates self-sustaining digital ecosystems. The more users interact with content, the easier it is to learn about their habits and for content, advertising, and services within these ecosystems to evolve and grow," said Howard Bass, Senior Partner, Global Media & Entertainment Advisory Services, Ernst & Young LLP.
When asked what will be the three biggest drivers of growth in content consumption during the next three years, CEOs were unanimous in their response. A full 100% believe mobile devices (including tablets) are the key to spurring demand for content. CEOs are especially bullish about emerging markets, where growing mobile device availability coupled with an improving wireless broadband infrastructure are creating significant opportunities for media companies to grow.
When queried about the greatest challenges facing the media and entertainment industry during the next three years, CEOs overwhelmingly agreed that global economic uncertainty and an inability to persuade consumers to pay fair value for digital content were the top two concerns. Also on the CEOs' list was the elimination of intermediaries between their companies and the end-user, resulting in increased direct business-to-consumer relationships; structural and regulatory ambiguity; and reduction and/or reallocation of marketing budgets.
Other interesting insights from the report:
- 84% of CEOs believe the role of social networking for their company is to connect with customers; building audiences and brands are secondary.
- 76% of CEOs said the objective of an "app" is to be part of a bundle of new or enhanced content and services.
- The top priority for CEOs remains the evolution of digital and online distribution (56%), followed by creatively differentiating content (44%).
- Social and interactive media companies are best positioned among all media and entertainment companies to thrive in the future, according to 59% of CEOs.
Note: A PDF copy of the full report is available to media on request.

Systematic reduction of sign errors in many-body calculations of atoms and molecules

We have developed a new systematically convergeable algorithm – Self-Healing Diffusion Quantum Monte Carlo - for predicting the electronic structure of atoms and molecules. In the first demonstration of this algorithm we have shown that it can readily treat systems as large as a carbon fullerene molecule with 20 atoms and modest computational effort. This result suggests that the new method will be fully capable of obtaining previously unavailable benchmark accuracy results for nanoscale systems. These results will guide cheaper but less accurate computational methods, such as density functional theory, significantly improving the robustness of theoretical predictions.
Our new method is a significant extension of the well-established Diffusion Quantum Monte Carlo method. In this quantum mechanical and wavefunction-based approach, the energy and other properties of a molecule or solid-state system are obtained to a very high accuracy. However, in the traditional approach, a variational error is introduced: in order to make the computation scale non-exponentially, the locations where the wavefunction are zero are approximated and chosen in advance. This is the so-called "fixed node" approximation and a manifestation of the famous Fermion sign problem in quantum mechanics. In the new method, the Fermion sign error is systematically reduced via a new optimization process and a robust theory of Fermion nodes. This optimization process, called "self-healing" because information from an initially poor wavefunction is used to obtain information about the more optimal solution, is the first time that the Fermion sign problem has been systematically reduced entirely within Diffusion Monte Carlo. We were able to obtain converged solutions starting from random initial wavefunctions, indicating that the method is very robust and likely to be applicable where other electronic structure methods fail. The Self-Healing Diffusion Monte Carlo (SHDMC) approach potentially removes the most significant source of error in, e.g., calculations of many materials and reactions involved in catalysis, energy conversion, and energy storage. Popular methods such as density functional theory introduce uncontrolled errors; SHDMC can provide benchmark results, aiding in method development and improving the overall robustness of electronic structure calculations.

Gainward, a supplier of premium graphics cards that belongs to Palit Microsystems, as well as Palit Microsystems iself on Friday unveiled the world's first graphics cards based on Nvidia Corp.'s GeForce GTX 580 (GF110) graphics processing unit (GPU) with 3GB of onboard memory. The novelties are expected to ensure decent performance in extreme resolutions with FSAA and also provide benefits in future games compared to typical 580s.
Gainward GeForce GTX 580 3GB Phantom graphics card and Palit GTX 580 product are equipped with GF110 chip clocked at 783MHz with 512 stream processors clocked at 1566MHz, only a bit higher compared to the reference design of the model 580 developed by Nvidia. The main advantage of the boards is their frame buffer, which is of 3GB capacity, two times larger than that of the original graphics card designed by the GPU developer. Another benefit the card has is its cooling system, which has three fans and is more efficient compared to Nvidia's, according to Gainward.
The graphics cards maker claims that 3072MB of GDDR5 memory (clocked at 4020MHz) give ultimate performance advantages for modern games in high resolutions with full-scene anti-aliasing (FSAA) enabled versus GeForce GTX 580 1536MB. According to the manufacturer, Gainward GeForce GTX 580 3072MB "Phantom" delivers 279% performance advantage in Metro 2033 (2560*1600, FSAA 4x, very high quality settings), 20% speed benefit in Crysis Warhead (2560*1600, FSAA 16xQ, enthusiast quality settings) and 152% higher performance in StarCraft 2 (2560*1600, FSAA 32x, 16x AF, etc).
"If you are an enthusiastic performance gamer and pursuing the most vivid effect and superlative gaming thrills in fluent, real-time gaming experience, Gainward GeForce GTX 580 3072MB 'Phantom' is definitely your best and one-of-a-kind choice," a statement by Gainward reads.
Gainward and Palit did not announce recommended price for the novelty, but it is very likely that it will be higher compared to $499 of the typical graphics card with 1.5GB of memory.

Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes ReviewBy Paul Semel - Posted Oct 07, 2009
A third-person action game, Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes is based on the CGI 'toon that just started its second season on Cartoon Network, with the same great voice cast and recognizable sound effects. But unlike the show, which is clearly designed to be for Star Wars fans of all ages, this game is clearly aimed more at its younger viewers, despite the T-rating.
The Pros
- Is faithful to the show.
- Fun co-op.
- Paul Jr. will love it.
The Cons
- Is too easy for older gamers.
- And too shallow.
- Clearly, The Force isn't with the camera.
A third-person action game, Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes is based on the CGI 'toon that just started its second season on Cartoon Network, with the same great voice cast and recognizable sound effects. But unlike the show, which is clearly designed to be for Star Wars fans of all ages, this game is clearly aimed more at its younger viewers, despite the T-rating. If you saw The Empire Strikes Back in theaters, own only three Star Wars DVDs, or pre-ordered The Old Republic, this is not the Star Wars game you're looking for.
But if your DVR is set to record The Clone Wars this Friday at 8:30PM (7:30 central) so you, you and your kid, or you and your dad can watch the show, then this is the game for you.
Defenders Of Peace
At its core, Republic Heroes is pretty typical. When you play a Jedi, it's a hack & slash action game with tons of platforming and the power of The Force, while Clone Troopers shoot up the place with Robotron-ish controls that have you moving with one thumbstick and aiming with the second.
And that's basically it. With the exception of jumping and then slashing, there aren't any combos, or any other real depth.
That's not to say you haven't learned any new Jedi tricks. You can now, by jumping onto their shoulders and ramming your lightsaber into their heads, take over a Super Battle Droid or other "clanker," turning their guns against them. Similarly, you can jump onto a Single Trooper Aerial Platform, the flying things the B1 Battle Droids drive, and, uh, STAP-jack it.
Clone Troopers can also toss grenades, occasionally use jetpacks, hack panels with a simple minigame, and even knock droids upside the head with a melee attack, though there really is no substitute for a good blaster at your side. They can even also use the left trigger to get down on one knee and finally propose to their girlfriends. I mean really, what are you waiting for, guys? Oh, and to squat behind cover.
Breaking up the never ending parade of battles are some optional timed-challenge moments where you compete against your partner to see who can do things like destroy the most droids while only using other droids you've jacked.
As is par for these kinds of games, there are collectibles, your performance at the end of each mission is ranked, you earn point multipliers for killing sprees, and said points can be redeemed for combat upgrades, masks and hats (some of which are kind of funny), and - no foolin' - "Droid Dances." You haven't lived until you've seen a droid get down with its bad self.
Throughout the game, you'll have a constant companion, be it a fellow Clone Trooper or your faithful Padawan. And you're more than welcome to play the game solo; especially since your companion's A.I., while not brilliant, isn't a total idiot. Usually. But the game also features drop-in/drop-out co-op (though, sadly, offline only), and is a lot more fun when you play with a pal, preferably one who is obsessed with Star Wars and video games, but isn't old enough to realize Jar Jar was a complete tool. But hey, he's your dad, so cut him so slack, okay?
The Hidden Enemy
The problem with being so simplistic, though, is that it makes this game - unlike the cartoon on which it's based - decidedly more for kids. And small ones, at that. Take, for example, your Force powers. For the most part, you can use Force Push during combat, though there are times when it can be used to perform contextual tricks, like activating switches. But, again, that's basically it. Unlike most Star Wars games, you don't have a variety of Jedi tricks at your disposal.
There's also no penalty for dying. Not only is there a generous regenerating health system, but thanks to an equally liberal amount of checkpoints, reincarnation usually pops you right back where you were, joining the battle already in progress. Which seriously curtains any challenge this game might've had.
The stationary camera also doesn't do you any favors (though really, when does it ever?). As a result, there are times when the perspective makes certain jumps unnecessarily tricky, and other when, while fighting in a large area, your character will be so small that it'll be hard to tell which one is you and which is the droid you've been looking for.
However, if you are a kid - one equally into Star Wars and video games - this game kicks ass. But don't take my word for it; let's ask an actual Star Wars-loving, video game-playing six-year-old his opinion of the game: "I think I love it."
Children Of The Force
Okay, yeah, so it ain't great, especially if you're old enough to get into Chalmun's Cantina on Tattoine (they have a great jazz band). The Jedi parts don't come close to what we got from Jedi Knight or The Force Unleashed, while the Trooper levels pale when compared to Republic Commando and Dark Forces. But if you're a youngling, or have a youngling to play it with you, Republic Heroes can be a lot of fun. Well, until next Friday at 8:30PM (7:30 central) rolls around.

Boiler Gold Rush Structure
Boiler Gold Rush (BGR) is one of the many programs offered through the area of Student Success at Purdue within the Office of the Provost. It is a seven-day new student orientation program that will take place August 17-24th, 2014 and involve over 5,300 participants. What makes BGR such a unique experience is the small group size and peer mentor contact, which enable the students to become better acquainted with Purdue and meet hundreds of new students before classes begin. BGR has one of the largest student volunteer staff in the country with approximately 600 student volunteers, including ten Student Orientation Committee members, who work with all aspects of the program from planning to implementation, and 100 Team Supervisors who help train and supervise approximately 500 Team Leaders. Below are the student volunteer job descriptions.
Student staff of BGR
Student Orientation Committee (SOC)
The SOC is composed of one Chair and seven committee members. Each year, the number of members and the types of positions are evaluated to best meet the needs of the program. Following is a list of the current positions:
- Chair- oversees the activities of the committee, acts as a liaison of BGR between the professional ONSP staff and the BGR program
- Recruitment and Selection - organizes and implements a Team Leader recruitment campaign, and works with the professional staff to bring in speakers and activities for the week of BGR. Coordinates Team Supervisor and Team Leader selection process.
- Orientation Initiatives -Help coordinate student staff for Winter Welcome and works with our diversity piece within BGR.
- Training and Development- Develops and executes all staff training initiatives including retreats and two-day intensive training before the program begins in August.
In addition to his/her specific responsibilities, each committee member is also required to fill in gaps in all aspects of the program. The SOC has a day-long planning retreat in the fall and one in the spring. They hold ten office hours per week. However, each SOC Chair works approximately 15 hours per week. Ten hours is an estimate including hours for weekly SOC meetings, Admissions events, and additional meetings. The SOC attends and assists with all BGR-related activities, meets on a weekly basis to discuss the progress of the committees, as well as addresses other concerns, and assists with many Office of Enrollment Management events. The group returns to campus one week before BGR begins to prepare for the arrival of the Team Supervisors, Team Leaders, and BGR participants.
Team Supervisors
Team Supervisors are responsible for training, organizing, and motivating 6-9 Team Leaders and approximately 100 new students. Team Supervisors are selected in November and attend an overnight retreat in the fall. Throughout the year, Team Supervisors participate in bi-monthly training sessions as well as help facilitate spring Team Leader training sessions and two Team Leader retreats in the spring. They also participate in an August overnight retreat, as well as a two-day intensive training program right before the start of BGR. Team Supervisors are the motivators, organizers, and facilitators of the BGR Team Leaders.
Team Leaders
All BGR participants are assigned to a group of approximately 100 students within their residence hall. Within this group of approximately 100, participants are then placed in groups of 10-12 and assigned a Team Leader who will guide and lead the group for five consecutive days. Team Leaders are current Purdue students who facilitate team building activities, generate discussions about various program sessions, give campus tours, guide participants to all BGR activities and programs, and assist with events such as the University Resource Fair. Most importantly, Team Leaders answer the new students' questions, share their personal and academic experiences, and help our new Boilermakers get acclimated to their surroundings. Throughout the spring semester, Team Leaders participate in monthly training sessions and attend a one-day retreat in February or March. They also participate in a two-day intensive training program right before the start of BGR.
Why should I become Team Leader?
There are a variety of benefits associated with being a Team Leader.
You can...
- Develop your leadership skills
- Serve as a mentor and friend to a group of 10-12 new students
- Enhance public speaking skills
- Learn more about campus resources and services
- Become more familiar with campus buildings and surroundings
- Meet and work with highly motivated and spirited individuals
- Develop an even greater sense of pride in being a Purdue student
- Interact with Purdue faculty and staff members
- Meet hundreds of new people
- Gain a sense of personal accomplishment
- Come back to campus a week and a half early
- Get free t-shirts and a water bottle
- Take advantage of free food, giveaways and discounts
- Receive recognition at the staff appreciation banquet
- Create fabulous memories and unforgettable fun!
What do I need to do to become a Team Leader?
Team Leader applications are usually available in late January or early February. All Team Leader applicants will participate in a Group Activity Interview process designed to give applicants a taste of what the Team Leader position is like and to give the BGR staff a chance to evaluate each candidate. Candidates will participate in a number of activities during the interview and will be evaluated on their performance. All Team Leaders must be in good standing with Purdue, as well as University Residences, and have a GPA of 2.5 or higher to apply and participate in the program. Throughout the spring semester, Team Leaders participate in monthly training sessions and are expected to attend a one-day retreat in February or March. They also will participate in a two-day, intensive training program before the start of the BGR.

by John MacArthur
I'm thankful for warning systems. The dashboard lights in my car, smoke detectors in my home, even the little bumps in the road that let me know when I'm crossing over into another lane. If there's any device or object that's able to warn me of danger or impending catastrophe, I want it working for me.
In the Lord's perfect design, each of us has two built-in warning systems working to keep us from danger and harm. The first is pain. Most of us think of pain as a bad thing, but actually it's a gift from God. You know something is physically wrong when your body hurts. But more than just that, pain is God's way of protecting you from destroying yourself.
The best illustration of how pain protects us is Hansen's Disease, or what is often called leprosy. Long ago people believed that leprosy ate away a person's extremities, ate his fingers, his nose and ears, his chin, his toes, feet, and legs. It was only in the 1800s that biologists discovered that leprosy doesn't consume the body at all.
Instead, it destroys your nerves and your sense of touch. And without the ability to feel the pressure or pain, you literally wear off your nose, your ears, your chin, and your forehead. You scratch your head and put big gouges in it without ever feeling the damage you're doing. You're totally oblivious to pain—you cut your finger and don't realize it, and infection sets in and that starts to eat away at you. Without the basic ability to feel pain, you're able to do incredible damage to your body, and you're open to all kinds of other physical dangers. Without that built-in warning system, you slowly destroy yourself. Pain protects you.
From a spiritual perspective, your other built-in warning system—your conscience—does the same thing. Just as searing pain warns you of physical danger to your body, your conscience screams at you about a violation of a moral law.
But your conscience alone can't save you. It's only a mechanism—a warning device. And unless it has been guarded and trained, it won't be able to alert you to spiritual danger. A malnourished, confused, and twisted conscience won't be able to protect you—in fact, it could actually lead you to sin and corruption.
Your conscience won't function properly unless it has been informed by reality and trained like a muscle. It needs to be developed and protected and sharpened.
If you're going to live the pure, holy life the Lord has commanded you to live, you need a conscience tuned to His perfect standard. And then you need to listen to it carefully and heed its warnings.
In the days ahead, we'll look at the vital importance of nurturing and training your conscience, how to keep it soft, sharp, and clear, and the dangers of deceiving or ignoring God's warning system.

I am reading your book, The Vanishing Conscience. I highly recommend this book. This book should be in every classroom and taught as a subject. I know that will never happen but it would change the lives of so many young people. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your writings. May God continue to bless you with the knowledge that is passed on to us, in order that we might strive to live godly lives and bring praise, honor and glory to His name.

anything John posts is wonderful so thankful for gty and the teaching ministry of John MacArthur..Gods richest blessings upon gty and this blog..
Thank you for writing on this topic. I never knew of the importance of my conscience or how God uses it. I look forward to the information. Thank you for your love and concern for our growth in the Lord.
Yes, Thank you Pastor John for such clear teaching on the conscience, that i have heard you teach about in various messages and conferences, and it was a real help to me, to show the reality of it all and it certainly would help so many young people who do not understand how it works, also many adults do not either, but it was a real tool in my life to keep me on the straight and narrow, and i am looking forward to seeing it in print, in a blog. We vitally need this kind of teaching, it is a sure direction for living holy before the Lord.
Pain is God's way of protecting you from destroying yourself.
Shame is God's way of showing us we are headed toward hell. And after we become Christians, shame is sharper; it tells us where we should be going but for God's grace.
Thank you for this Blog.I am spirutually edified.Looking forward for further series
