Despite losses, Cougar fans still support Leach
PULLMAN, Wash. - Fans from as far away as Texas are in Pullman tonight to watch the Cougars and the UCLA Bruins battle it out on the football field.
Reeve Jackson and his wife, Laura made the trip from Tyler, Texas to Spokane on Friday.
"We're here to celebrate our coach and wherever he is that's where we'll be," Reeve said.
Reeve is a Texas Tech alum and was a law student during the Mike Leach era. For their anniversary, Laura surprised Reeve with a trip to Pullman to see Mike Leach "The Pirate" in action.
"I'm super excited," Laura said.
"I can't wait to be there. I can't wait to see Leach in action again," she said.
Not all Cougar fans share this excitement with the Jackson's. With only two wins this season and the Cougar's star wide receiver suspended this week, Leach's unique coaching style has come under intense scrutiny. Fans are particularly unhappy with offensive struggles.
Laura says the Cougar fans need to be patient.
"The hype is definitely worth it and especially when he starts getting some of his recruits, he's going to find the diamonds in the rough out there. I promise you when his recruits get here y'all are going to see a great game," Laura said.
Even thought tonight's game against the Bruins is expected to be tough, Reeve is keeping an optimistic attitude.
"If you can make it through the lean times you'll be there to enjoy the fat times and they are going to come," Reeve said. "The thing I love about mike leach football is we could be down 40-50 points, headed into the fourth quarter and you knew it was still a game and you could still pull it out."
The only concern the Jackson's have is the weather.
"The weather is a little different. Y'all can use some heat," Reeve said.
"I think we brought every jacket and long sleeve shirt we own. They're all in a backpack which tells you how few there are so we may do some shopping before we hit the game."
The Jackson's aren't the only fans from Texas. 48 Texans have season tickets to the Cougars.

Yesterday I took the time to look into an annoyance, that threaded me for some weeks now: When I tried to rsync a local Mercurial copy of an SVN repository (managed by hgsubversion), it failed suddenly with 'No space left on device'.
No, what? I'm monitoring my drives quite loosely, but a look at actual free disc space confirmed: less than 70 % used. So what?
Turned out the sheer amount of small files used especially for Mercurial meta-data had eaten up all available inodes, what had gone unnoticed up to that point. The repository is locally stored inside a 10G partition, but it's copied to another place only 2,5G big. While both are ext3 file systems, not only the fs size significantly affected the total number of inodes, but the double inode size of 256 Byte for the smaller partition (newer installation) compared to 128 on the older, bigger partition did a great deal on shortening available inodes as well.
The diagnosis was followed by an - initially rather desperate - search to find and understand possible solutions. I wouldn't buy some early results, but it become obvious be few more hours: There's no such thing like file system tuning for inodes. Not that technically it can't be done, more likely there has been not much demand to write code for bringing such a feature i.e. into tune2fs. You're forced to rebuild your fs with more sensible settings for the fs management internals to better fit it to your usage.
Good thing, I had plenty of room in my LVM managed remote system, so build another 2,5G part and experimenting with different bytes/inode ratios ('-i' switch for mkfs.ext3) was a matter of minutes. After finding a sensible value I copied the whole fs over with 'cp -a', and after working with the copy on the new partition a bit I copied the whole thing back with dd_rescue (favored over dd for a nicer progress indicator), every time with the copied source as fallback option.
All in all a great and quite painless lesson on fs internals, that have been rather subtle to me so far, despite doing GNU/Linux system setups for 10+ years now.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:55 PM GMT on May 21, 2008
Could global warming increase wind shear over the Atlantic, potentially leading to a decrease in the frequency of Atlantic hurricanes? Several modeling studies are now predicting this, and it is a reasonable hypothesis. The most recent study, "Simulated reduction in Atlantic hurricane frequency under twenty-first-century warming conditions", was published Sunday in Nature Geosciences. The authors, led by Tom Knutson of NOAA's GFDL laboratory, showed that global warming may reduce the number of Atlantic tropical storms by 27% and hurricanes by 18% by the end of the century. However, their model also found that the strongest hurricanes would get stronger.
An important reason that their model predicted a decrease in the frequency of Atlantic hurricanes was due to a predicted increase in wind shear. As I explain in my wind shear tutorial, a large change of wind speed with height over a hurricane creates a shearing force that tends to tear the storm apart. The amount of wind shear is critical in determining whether a hurricane can form or survive.
The main sources wind shear over the tropical Atlantic:
1) The jet stream is the primary year-round source of high wind shear over the Atlantic. The jet can have two branches--the main northerly polar jet, and a weaker subtropical jet that blows over the Gulf of Mexico or Caribbean. In winter, the jet stream is far to the south, bringing very high levels of wind shear to the tropical Atlantic. The Caribbean Sea is warm enough year-round to support hurricane formation, but high levels of wind shear from the southerly position of the jet stream prevents wintertime hurricanes from forming. In the summer, the jet stream retreats to the north, but can still loop far enough south to create hurricane-hazardous wind shear.
2) The large-scale tropical atmospheric circulation pattern known as the Walker Circulation (Figure 1) can bring high wind shear to the Atlantic. A weak Walker Circulation brings high wind shear, while a strong Walker Circulation--rising air over the tropics near Australia, combined with sinking air of the coast of South America near Peru--brings weak upper-level winds over the Atlantic, resulting in low levels of wind shear.
3) The presence or absence of an El Niño event has a critical impact on wind shear levels. El Niño events weaken the Walker Circulation, bringing strong upper-level winds out of the west to the Atlantic, creating high wind shear.
4) In summer and fall, Tropical Upper Tropospheric Troughs (TUTTs) and upper-level cold-core low pressure systems ("cold lows") that are cut off from the jet stream often wander through the tropics, bringing high wind shear with them.
5) A strong east-to-west flowing jet of air is frequently found at the southern boundary of the Saharan Air Layer (SAL), a hot, dry region of air found off the coast of Africa during hurricane season. This easterly jet often is strong enough to cause significant wind shear over the hurricane development region of the tropical Atlantic.
Figure 1. Schematic drawing of the Pacific Ocean's Walker Circulation. Warm ocean waters over the Western Pacific near Australia heat the air above, causing it to rise. When the rising air reaches the top of the troposphere, it can't rise any further, and is forced to flow eastwards towards the Atlantic. This air then sinks back to the surface near the Pacific coast of South America, then flows back towards Australia as easterly trade winds. Image credit: Wikipedia.
The future of wind shear
In their 2007 paper, "Increased Tropical Atlantic Wind Shear in Model Projections of Global Warming", Gabe Vecchi of NOAA's GFDL laboratory and Brian Soden of the University of Miami looked at 18 of the models used to formulate the "official word" on the science of climate change, the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) climate report. Vecchi and Soden found that in the scenario where CO2 doubles to 720 ppm by year 2100 (the so-called "A1B" scenario), these models predict a 1.5-3.5°C increase in global surface air temperature. However, in the Caribbean and some surrounding regions, at least 13 of the 18 models predict that the amount of wind shear rises by 1-2 mph per degree C of warming (Figure 2). The shear increases largely as a result of a weakening of the Walker Circulation. This weakening brings strong upper-level westerly winds to the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean.
The implications
If true, Vecchi and Soden's results imply that we may see fewer hurricanes in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific by the end of the century, since wind shear is such an important ingredient in their formation. How reliable are these model predictions? If global warming is expected to cause a slowdown in the Walker Circulation and increased wind shear over the tropical Atlantic, shouldn't we be able to see these effects already? There is some evidence that we are seeing these effects. According an article by the same authors published in 2006 in Nature, the observed 0.5-0.6°C global warming in the past century has caused the Walker Circulation to slow down by 3.5%--in line with what theory predicts. Moreover, Wang and Lee (2008) documented a 3 mph increase in wind shear over the tropical Atlantic between 1949-2006 (despite some rather low shear years recently, such as during the record-breaking Hurricane Season of 2005). These results, plus the fact that 13 of the 18 IPCC models predict a tropical Atlantic wind shear increase in the coming century, make the hypothesis that we may see increased wind shear over the Atlantic in coming decades a reasonable one. However, climate scientists Ray Pierrehumbert and Rasmus Benestad argue in a 2006 post on realclimate.org that we need another ten years of observations of the Walker Circulation to confirm that we really are seeing a slowdown. In addition, we need to see if the model predictions of increased wind shear hold up when improved simulations with better data and higher resolutions are performed. These models are fairly primitive in their abilities to simulate these sort of regional climate shifts, and some models predict a strengthening of the Walker Circulation in coming decades--the opposite of what Vecchi and Soden found.
Figure 2. Top: predicted change by 2100 in wind shear (in meters per second per degree C of warming--multiply by two to get mph) as predicted by summing the predictions of 18 climate models. Bottom: The number of models that predict the effect shown in the top image. The dots show the locations where tropical storms formed between 1981-2005. The box indicates a region of frequent hurricane formation where wind shear is not predicted to change much. Image credit: Geophysical Research Letters, "Increased Tropical Atlantic Wind Shear in Model Projections of Global Warming", by Vecchi and Soden, 2007.
All other things remaining constant, an increase in wind shear will cause fewer hurricanes to form. However, all other things will not remain constant. As the climate warms, Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) will warm, which may partially or completely offset the effects of increased wind shear. Vecchi and Soden's research also show a substantial increase in wind shear over most of the Southern Hemisphere's hurricane breeding grounds during their hurricane season, but a significant decrease in wind shear over the Western Pacific and North Indian Oceans. Typhoons and cyclones in these ocean basins may well get more numerous and stronger in the future as a result of the lower wind shear. Much more research remains to be done, and it is far too early to be confident of how wind shear might change in a warming world.

Sport Specific: Lacrosse - Week 3, Day 3
This is a twelve-week, sport specific program designed for lacrosse by strength and conditioning coach Daniel Lonsdale. The aim of this program is to increase the athlete's strength and power. It also includes elements of shoulder health to cope with the rigors of the sport.
These physical properties are vital for lacrosse players as they allow for more force to be placed into floor, which in turn will aid performance in a number ways:
- Greater acceleration
- Improved agility
- Increased power in shots
The program has been split into three, four-week training blocks to allow an adequate amount of time for adaption to occur. The warm up for each session during the twelve-week program consists of a hip, glute and upper body conditioning plate warm up. This warm up increases dynamic flexibility and over time will condition the soft tissues around the hip and shoulder girdle, which will help combat injury. It will also preps the neural system for the movements in the following session.
Percentages of one-rep maxes (1RM) are used in the program, so it is worth knowing these before beginning the program. You should also re-test them every four weeks so that you are training at the correct intensity.
All lifts should be performed with correct technique and without a breakdown in form. If a breakdown in form occurs, reduce the weight slightly. The percentages are only predictions and do not take into account other external stressors such as lack of sleep, nutrition, emotional stress, and other factors.
New Feature: Post your workout results, comments, and questions to the Breaking Muscle forum.
Week 3, Day 3
Warm Up: 10kg plate is used for resistance. 20 seconds per exercise x 2:
- Squat
- Romanian Deadlift
- Lateral Squat
- Calf Raise
- Bent Over Row
- Pull Over
- Hip Bridge
- Overhead Press
- Press Up
- Split squat 5x5 per leg
- Press up 5x5 (add weight if you can do more than 5 reps)
- Bent-over barbell row 5x5
- Barbell roll outs 3x5
- Prone Y,W,T scapula work 3x10

The name Artifort is derived from combining art & comfort. Design with form and function that captures the heart, Artifort creates an aesthetically pleasing design that captures the mind. Since the turn of the 20th century, Artifort has been creating interior design that endures. Artifort is a world famous brand emphasizes functionality, comfort and quality combined with aesthetically pleasing design and an innovative use of materials. Artifort means top quality design by top designers. With elements for the home, office, boardroom or lobby, everyone who attaches importance to form and function will find a design that captures their heart.
At an international furniture show organized by Kho Liang Ie, Pierre Paulin made a great impression with a contemporary shell lounge. Shortly after the show, he became a freelance designer for Artifort. This marked the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration. What makes Paulin's designs so distinctive is their striking sculptural shape, which earns the designer many prizes worldwide. His work remains timeless and progressive even today. This is not form for form's sake but applied design.
Artifort still includes many of Paulin's designs dating from the nineteen-sixties and seventies in its permanent collection. His work can be admired in museums throughout the world. Apart from furniture, he also designed interiors for the French Presidents Pompidou and Mitterrand in the Elysee Palace in Paris.
Pierre Paulin died in 2009 in a hospital in Montpellier, France. The French President Sarkozy honored him as one "...who made design an art". Pierre Paulin has been posthumously awarded the distinction of "Royal Designer for Industry" (RDI) by the British Royal Society of Arts (RSA). View other products by Pierre Paulin RDI

Whats worse ???
1) Crash and burn in the first series ( Total embarrassment)-------- OR
2) Crash and burn on the last bird of the fourth?????---- (Absolute disappointment)
1) We get a late start to the FT. I break a few driving laws and manage to make up the time. (320 miles one way). When we arrive at the trial slightly late, Im not too concerned because I have a late number. As luck would have it the first series was delayed for fog. The test starts an hour and a half later. Its a relatively easy test. We pound the flier (as did most). Line up for the memory bird she, (dog) gives it a good long look. I send. She runs straight at it, gets about 30 yards from the mark and turns HARD left. Almost like she was on cable and hit the end of it ..Directly back to the flier station..
Not wanting to let her get away with that I decide to pick her up. She had other ideas ..
Back at the flier station she is all over the bird crate and will NOT come back to me ..Did the walk of shame and put a rope on her (still on the bird crate),,,,TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT !!!!
We had a 5 hour ride home to think about it...........
(Note to self: Never shoot 2 dozen fliers for a derby dog in the week before a trial)
2) MapQuest directions night before trial.. Leave house early and drive to MapQuest location. Discover that we went an hour too far south, ask for directions etc. etc. Get to trial an hour and a half late. I lucked out!!! They were only on dog #9, I wasnt too late.
We make it to the fourth series. Which is on day 2 (Read late start=late finish) Nine dogs back to the fourth. We run next to last Hammer the go bird. Send for memory bird she gets spooked, unsure, and nervous. Dog pops . I pick her up. Dont know if we were in the color or not,,, BUT??????
On the way home the wife says Are you done pouting? I said sure (When I was younger I would be mad as He!! and storming) She then follows up with Tell me again why you wanted to get back into this game ???
Response: Your missing the journey enjoy it We laughed and continued our drive home..
Why is it that do we do this ????
Edit: That's a rhetorical question..

itp: Wow, you really ARE an idiot. Considering the fact that only very few programs on my system use Gnome libraries, shared memory has nothing to do with this at all. It is extremely unlikely that I would run two Gnome apps at one time. Now, you claim that Gnome has advantages?? Consistany of interface? HAHAH! Let's make some completely unrelated applications have exactly the same interface for doing different things! No thanks. I do not care for the ugliness or so-called "features" of gnome-libs. Therefore, I have decided it has no purpose on my system other than trying to convince me to run that crappy desktop environment. And therefore, it must go. Considering the fact that only a few applications on my system use Gnome, this is not such a hard task. I am doing it for my personal convenience and for others who want a gnomeless system. Freedom of choice is a good thing, but the Gnome developers don't seem to think so.
You go develop applications for Gnome and have fun. Unfortunately, many people will not use them. And it will also make you look like an idiot for not seperating your engine code from your sissy desktop Windows 95 emulation. But then again, it is far too late for anyone who has read this to not think you're an idiot or ever have their mind changed, so that shouldn't matter much.

Everything you need to know about today's coverage of Israel and the Mideast.
Today's top stories: columnist decries Israel's self-image of victimhood, reports of Hamas moderation continue, and an audio recording surfaces of a professor urging students to delegitimize Israel in every class.
Join the Media Cheat Sheet Page on Facebook.
Israel and the Palestinians
• Financial Times insists that Hamas leader Khaled Meshal is leading the group through a process of moderation. But even if it stays the same, Tobias Buck indicates it will only grow stronger:
Whichever way Hamas chooses to go, it is likely to grow stronger and increasingly influential inside the Palestinian movement and in the region. A Hamas hardliner such as Mr Zahar may be despised by Israelis and much of the west but few would dare disagree with his predictions. "We believe," he says confidently, "that the future is ours."
• New York Times op-ed by Roger Cohen looks at Israel through the lens of Peter Beinart's upcoming book castigating Israel for promoting a narrative of "victimhood." Cohen doesn't deny the Palestinian role in the current impasse but shrugs it off as paltry compared to Israel's West Bank policy.
Blaming Palestinians — for disunity, for grandstanding, for seeking not the 1967 lines but Israel's disappearance — is easy enough, although increasingly an exercise in misrepresentation of the major Palestinian shifts under Prime Minister Salam Fayyad.
The blame game would, however, be far more credible if the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had shown the least interest in peace; it has not. Subsidized West Bank settlement expansion continues, a claim in concrete to the land Netanyahu calls Judea and Samaria.
• A failure to smuggle enough fuel into Gaza has caused the local power station to close.
Iranian Atomic Urgency/Attacks on Diplomats
• Journalist says Israel bombed its own diplomats (Hat tip NRO media blog).
ELEANOR HALL: Iran's leadership says it's sheer lies that it's behind the attacks and that the Israelis have planted the bombs themselves to discredit Iran?
GENEIVE ABDO: Well I think that's entirely possible. I mean, if you consider what the Israelis did for many years in Lebanon and other parts of the Middle East, that theory is not so farfetched.
• Thai investigators say that explosives used in Bangkok were the same as used in India.
• Washington Post staff-ed notes the "trust gap" that has opened between the US and Israel and why the US should do more to reassure Israel that it will be there if the moment of truth on Iran ever arrives.
• Experts claim Iran has neutralized Stuxnet virus.
Rest O' the Roundup
• British court rules that BBC does not have to reveal Balen report on coverage of Israel.
• New York Times Jerusalem Bureau Chief Ethan Bronner asks out of Jerusalem and will return to the states soon. Jodi Rudoren will take over.
• See Rudoren's Twitter stream for a glimpse into how she thinks.
• Excellent Daily Telegraph op-ed slamming the BBC's kid glove handling of Abu Qatada.
• It's almost time for the annual hate fest known as Israel Apartheid Week. Good Ynet op-ed on what makes the events and the whole BDS movement so loathsome.
A large conference of the BDS was just held in Bologna, Italy. The forum selected three areas on which to concentrate efforts in 2012: Israel's arms industry, pharmaceuticals industry and tourism.
The choice of companies to boycott reveals BDS' extremism and hatred for the very existence of Israel within any borders. The targets are the Jewish people and nation, not merely the communities of Judea and Samaria. Indeed, BDS is boycotting companies that just say "Made in Israel."
• An audio recording from the BDS conference at the University of Pennsylvania has surfaced instructing students how to delegitimize Israel in every class.
• AP picks up on latest with the archeological park plans recently approved by a Jerusalem planning committee.

Real customer reviews from Plymouth owners like you.
Depending on your car's brake system, it may use between 4 to 8 brake pads. When you step on the brake pedal, the master cylinder sends fluid under pressure to the brake calipers (which hold the brake pads). The caliper presses the brake pad against the brake rotor, causing friction that slows down the car. During normal usage of the brakes, brake pads wear out and become thinner. If the thickness of brake pads is less than 3mm, it is time to change the pads. Depending on where you drive (city driving tends to wear pads out quicker) brake pads usually last between 30,000 to 35,000 miles. Some vehicles (e.g., BMWs) are equipped with a low-pad-warning system. In these vehicles, you will also need to replace the brake sensors as part of the brake pad service.

Simple, practical, non-invasive and inexpensive methods are needed to identify individuals at high risk for IGT and diabetes and to limit the proportion of the population requiring diagnostic glucose tolerance tests. IDF recommends the use of brief patient questionnaires to help healthcare professionals to quickly identify people who may be at a higher risk and who need to have their level of risk further investigated. This type of questionnaire could also be used by individuals for self-assessment.
The Finnish Type 2 Diabetes Risk Assessment Form developed in 2001 is an example of an effective patient questionnaire and should be used as the basis for developing national questionnaires which take into account local factors. It has eight scored questions, with the total test score providing a measure of the probability of developing type 2 diabetes over the following 10 years. The reverse of the form contains brief advice on what the respondent can do to lower their risk of developing the disease, and whether they should seek advice or have clinical examinations. The test takes only a couple of minutes to complete and can be done on the internet, in pharmacies or at various public campaign events.
In resource poor settings where questionnaires are not available or impractical, measurement of waist girth gives a simple prescreening tool allowing those at highest risk to be identified.
The Finnish Type 2 Diabetes Risk Assessment Form can be downloaded in the following languages:

ARSC T3E Users' Newsletter 167, May 4, 1999
Robert Numerich Talk at ARSC on Co-Array Fortran, 2pm May 6
Bob Numrich of SGI will be visiting ARSC on Thursday, May 6, and will give a presentation on Co-Array Fortran at 2pm in 204 Butrovich Building.
Bob, together with John Reid of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, designed Co-Array Fortran. This simple syntactic extension to Fortran 95 converts it into a parallel language. It is implemented in the CF90 compiler for the T3E, and has been available to ARSC users since last September.
A full description of Co-Array syntax appeared in Numrich and Reid (1998), Co-Array Fortran for Parallel Programming, ACM Fortran Forum, volume 17, no 2, pp 1-31.
The paper is available in postscript at:
Co-Array Fortran has appeared frequently in recent issues of this newsletter. More information is also available at:
Review of 1999 PTools Annual Meeting
[ Written by Tom Baring. ]
The Parallel Tools Consortium (PTools) 1999 Annual Meeting took place at NCAR, April 19-21.
It brought about 80 people from the vendor, user, and academic communities together. The resulting perspectives sparked lively, informative discussion.
For instance, on the issue of open source, some lauded the power of the internet community to generate code and rapidly fix bugs. Others observed that a gate keeper is essential to verify and integrate changes and to prevent feature bloat. Others stated that software engineers must get paid for their efforts--and observed that the pool of parallel tools users/developers may be too small for the open source model to work (as it has for linux, for instance).
Another example: On the issue of common tools across multiple vendor platforms, most agreed that users are more likely to use tools if they're consistent across all platforms. Some observed that this model is already working (witness Totalview, VAMPIR, and various standards). Others noted that the survival of vendors, and the survival of software divisions within companies, is often tied to differentiating themselves--not to duplicating each other's products. (But, someone asked, does such differentiation apply to secondary products like parallel tools, or only to hardware?)
Such dialog helps improve understanding throughout the community. It helps PTools realize its mission: "to take a leadership role in defining, developing, and promoting parallel tools that meet the specific requirements of users who develop scalable applications on a variety of platforms."
The PTools web site is:
What follows are some notes from the formal program. (They're not complete--just some points from most, but not all, of the talks. Feel free to send corrections/enhancements.)
European freeware tools Maria Carla Calzarossa (University of Pavia)
The speaker introduced projects and organizations active in Europe. They included:
- "Grade": a Graphical Application Development Environment.
- "APACHE": parallel programming and algorithms with load sharing.
- "MHAOTEU": memory hierarchy analysis and optimization tools for the end user--a C source analyzer.
- "APART": automatic performance analysis, resources and tools.
- "Esprit": An EU information technologies program
- "EuroTools": The EuroTools Working group aims at the establishment of collaborations among designers, developers, vendors and users of European software tools.
GUARD - A Portable Debugger for Portable Applications David Abramson (Monash University)
GUARD is a tool for "relative debugging." This compares data between two executing programs. It was devised to aid the testing and debugging of programs that are either modified in some way, or are ported to other computer platforms.
http://www.dgs.monash.edu.au/research/guardUser Perspective: Portability at DOD Dave Rhodes
The speaker described his experience using VAMPIR to successively (and successfully) improve a particular algorithm and implementation for task distribution.
He commented that "embarrassingly parallel" problems are not always good candidates for MPP platforms, as they might be solved more cheaply on workstation clusters. Medium-grained problems generally make better use of expensive HPC resources.Tutorial: Performance Analysis and Compiler Optimizations Phil Mucci (University of Tennessee and Sentient Research), Kevin London (University of Tennessee)
The speakers recommended compiler optimization flags for C/C++ and Fortran 90 on the SP2, Origin2000, and T3E, and discussed performance tools. For the T3E, this meant Apprentice and PAT.
Performance issues for Fortran 90 (on any platform).
- F90 code generally runs slower than equivalent F77 code.
- Don't use F90 features in compute kernels.
- F90 array syntax hurts performance.
- WHERE statement is bad (hides a conditional).
- CSHIFT statement is bad (hides a branch).
- Derived types are good when used correctly (improve spatial locality of related data).
MPI issues:
- Use contiguous data structures or MPI_TYPE_STRUCT.
- Don't use PACK/UNPACK.
- Post receives before sends.
- Send BIG messages.
- Use MPI_[I]rsend (ready send) if possible.

http://www.cs.utk.edu/~mucci/MPPopt.htmlSLOGging Towards Teraflops: A Strategy and Library to enable Jumpshot and Other Tools to Cope with Gigabyte Event Log files Ewing "Rusty" Lusk (Argonne National Laboratory)
"SLOG" is "Scalable LOGging". The structure of SLOG trace files enables the viewer, Jumpshot, to produce various overviews of the entire volume of data. Users will be presented with greater detail as they zoom in, rather than seeing an expanded view of the same level of detail.
Jumpshot is written in Java.Scalability Issues in Tracing and Visualizing Large MPI Application Shirley Browne (University of Tennessee)
The current method for controlling the size of trace-based MPI tool output is to instrument the code. The user can turn tracing off/on for particular processes or code sections.
The ARSC tutorial shows VAMPIR users how to do this:
Goals for the future:
- Control tracing at runtime.
- Automatically relate traced events to code segments without instrumenting the code (as VAMPIR does on a limited number of hosts, not including the T3E.)
- Visualize traced data in a scalable manner.
The speaker raised several issues:
- Comparing model output with known analytic or experimental results is needed to verify the model, but, in real life, is often a difficult, frustrating experience.
- Save all test results, codes, compiler version information, etc...
- Good features of a debugger: checkpoint/restart within the debugger, macro execution capability, improved debugging of optimized code.
The speaker described an ASCI project to help deal with the crush of archived data. The project has two thrusts: 1) dealing with existing data, and 2) better managing future archives.
Old (existing) data:
- A tool snoops through existing data archives.
- "Meta-data", or data about the data, is extracted and organized.
- Users may garner more from the new information than from the old filenames and notes (if they even exist).
- The hope is that multiple Terabytes of old data will become useful (or will become obviously safe to delete).
New data:
- A tool helps users create meta-data for files when they're initially archived. This may include thumbnail images of graphical data.
- Given this useful, possibly visual, database of information about the archives, they are more likely to be used later.
The tools are written in Java so users need no additional software. See:

Tala Madani: First Light
For more than a decade, Madani has developed a practice centered on playful yet provocative representations of men. Her paintings, drawings, and stop-motion animations combine a lyrical and gestural figuration with mature and sometimes disturbing subject matter. These deadpan and often hilarious works satirize conventional notions of masculinity, recasting the male figure in various scenarios that both mock virility and redistribute the dynamics of power. Bright pastel color fields form the ground for group scenes in which balding, rotund, and mustachioed middle-aged men blindly follow each other in circles, undergo interrogation, and perform various humiliating acts. Unflinchingly scatological and abject, Madani's consistent rendering of bodily fluids and human waste encourages a larger consideration of authority, desire, and shame.

Joel Ellzey, recently named general manager of Saks Fifth Avenue Sarasota, faces two acute challenges in his new position: He's tasked with building on the success of one store, while simultaneously planning the opening of another store.
The current store is the Saks at the Westfield Southgate Mall, south of downtown Sarasota. The planned new store is a potential anchor at the Mall at University Town Center, a $315 million project currently under construction in northern Sarasota County. That mall, and the Saks store, is scheduled to open in October 2014.
A 24-year veteran of Saks and Proffitt's, a chain that in 1998 merged with Saks' parent entity, Ellzey says he will treat the new gig with daily fervor. Ellzey ran the Saks at the International Plaza, in Tampa, for a year before moving in early March to Sarasota. He worked for the chain in Atlanta for 20 years before Tampa.
"I have this philosophy that every day will be better than the day before," Ellzey said. "That's the type of store I want to run."
Ellzey comes to the retail industry after a childhood spent on his family's farm in South Central Mississippi. The farm, said Ellzey, ranged from 300 cattle to 12 chicken houses to 500 acres of crops, including 60 acres of blueberries. Just like in his current post at Saks, Ellzey says he "did a little bit of everything" on the farm.
Ellzey, in contrast to what was previously thought, said Saks might operate two stores in the Sarasota-Bradenton region when the University Town Center location opens. That's why he calls the new store an "expansion," not a replacement, though the one store versus two stores decision isn't official. Either way, the new store, said Ellzey, will "be more of a regional shopping experience" than the current Saks, given it's a mile west of I-75.
The Sarasota store, though not regional in its customer reach, has been a local star for community and philanthropic fashion events. Sally Schule, the Saks Fifth Avenue Sarasota general manager since 2005, led the way in many of those initiatives. Schule is still with Saks in Sarasota, now in a marketing director role.

Student ballet troupe presents 'Debut' concert
Posted April 24, 2009; 12:36 p.m.
Princeton University Ballet, a student dance group, will present its first spring concert at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, May 7-9, in the Frist Film and Performance Theater.
The concert, titled "Debut," will include pieces from classical ballet repertory and showcase original choreography by University graduate and undergraduate students. The event also will feature the premiere performance of a contemporary ballet piece by dancer-choreographer Mary Barton of the American Repertory Ballet and the Princeton Ballet School.
In addition, dancers will perform two pieces, "Nocturne" and "Tarantella," choreographed by Nancie Woods, artistic director of the Center Dance Company in Arlington, Va., who will work with the company.
Princeton University Ballet was established as a student organization in spring 2008 by current University juniors Virginia Byron and Elizabeth Rosen. The group is the only student performance troupe at Princeton dedicated to ballet.
The program for the concert was selected by the group's leadership: Byron and Rosen, president and vice president, respectively; sophomore Alexis Branagan, founding artistic director; and sophomore Meghan Todt, assistant artistic director.
Tickets are available online through University Ticketing or by calling (609) 258-1742, and at the Frist box office from noon to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Tickets are $8 for senior citizens and University students, faculty and staff with a TigerCard ID; $10 for the general public; and free for University students with a "Passport to the Performing Arts" voucher.

Deep-Space Orion Capsule Cracks Under Pressure

Orion capsule
(Source: space.com)
The good news is that the hardware can be fixed without having to be remanufactured
According to NASA, the
deep-space Orion
crew capsule underwent pressure testing at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida the week of November 5. After the testing, which subjected the capsule to more stress than it is expected to experience during its scheduled use, NASA found a few cracks.
The cracks were located in three adjacent radial ribs of the aluminum bulkhead. It occurred at a pressure of 149 kilopascals. To pass the test, the Orion would have had to reach 164 kilopascals without cracking.
The good news is that the hardware can be fixed without having to be remanufactured. However, NASA wants to figure out exactly why this happened, so it will use an electron microscope to scan the damage.
Lockheed Martin Space Systems is the maker of the Orion, and will perform the testing necessary to investigate what happened. It took about one year to build the space capsule.
The Orion was set to launch in 2014 in a flight called Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1), where an unmanned Orion will launch into orbit and reenter the atmosphere at 32,000 kilometers per hour. It's unclear whether this flight will now be delayed due to the damage.
The Orion capsule will eventually take astronauts into deep space to locations like asteroids and Mars. It will be the most advanced spacecraft ever, with the ability to provide safe re-entry from deep space, a way to sustain astronauts in space, and an emergency abort option. The Orion spacecraft was first
unveiled by Lockheed Martin
in early 2011.
Just this past July, NASA
brought the Orion capsule to the Kennedy Space Center
to begin testing.
If all goes well with EFT-1, the Orion capsule will take astronauts beyond low-Earth orbit via the new
Space Launch System (SLS)
which is NASA's latest heavy lift vehicle that will also be used as the backup for international and commercial partner transportation to the International Space Station (ISS).
The Orion capsule is set to launch atop the SLS in 2017. The Orion is set to be the main mode of deep space transportation for about 30 years.
"Well, we didn't have anyone in line that got shot waiting for our system." -- Nintendo of America Vice President Perrin Kaplan

Program Review: Public Housing
This report, the latest in a series responding to the Act's mandate, updates and adds new information on the use of Recovery Act funds by public housing authorities.
What GAO Found
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) provided almost $4 billion to public housing authorities to fund capital and management activities. The funding was provided through grants distributed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Public Housing Authorities Met Spending Deadlines for Grants and the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Monitoring Incorporated Key Internal Controls
Almost all public housing authorities (PHA) met their spending deadlines for the Public Housing Capital Fund formula and competitive grant programs. As mandated, all but one PHA spent 100 percent of their formula grants by March 17, 2012. According to Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) officials, PHAs with competitive grants were on track to meet their September 2012 spending deadlines. PHAs we interviewed cited various challenges to meeting the grant deadlines, such as the tight time frames and many attributed their ability to meet deadlines to good planning within their organizations and help from HUD. According to analyses of HUD data, about 3,100 PHAs planned to undertake improvements with their formula grants that affected about 495,000 housing units. Many used their grants to make improvements that enhanced energy efficiency, such as installing energy-efficient windows and appliances. GAO determined that HUD's monitoring strategy for these programs incorporated key internal controls, such as developing and implementing measures that allowed HUD staff to compare actual with planned results. At specific sites that GAO visited, PHAs were able to demonstrate work was under way or had been completed.
Recipients Met Deadlines for Section 1602 and Tax Credit Assistance Program Expenditures, but Treasury Does Not Plan to Fully Evaluate Asset Management Activities
All housing finance agencies (HFA) met their December 2011 disbursement deadlines for funds they received under Section 1602 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). Most HFAs also met their February 2012 deadline to spend Tax Credit Assistance Program (TCAP) funds. Almost all HFAs reported that the funds helped restart stalled affordable housing projects that otherwise could not have moved forward. Project owners primarily used the funds to construct new housing units. HFAs identified several factors that helped them meet the deadlines, particularly their experience and established practices and procedures. As GAO reported in September 2010, TCAP and Section 1602 programs require HFAs to do more project oversight than they typically would to ensure that project owners comply with long-term program requirements. The Recovery Act requires that HFAs perform "asset management," which includes ensuring the long-term viability of projects. But some HFAs may not have the necessary experience, as third-party investors have often supported HFAs with this additional oversight. HUD has begun gathering data to help determine which projects may need additional oversight, but Treasury has not. Treasury staff would benefit from collecting information that would allow them to assess how HFAs are implementing their asset management policies and procedures.
HUD Continues to Monitor Quality of Data on Jobs Funded
The accuracy of full-time equivalent (FTE) data reported by recipients of the Public Housing Capital Fund competitive and formula programs and TCAP has improved over time. HUD staff have continued to monitor the data for errors—for example, for over counts of FTEs—and have worked with recipients to make corrections. The number of FTEs reported per quarter for HUD programs peaked in 2010 and 2011 and gradually declined each quarter as funded activities were completed. The Recovery Act does not require HFAs to report FTEs for Treasury's Section 1602 program.
GAO's RecommendationsBack to top
GAO recommends that Treasury assess the extent to which HFAs are utilizing information provided to them by project owners to ensure the long-term viability of buildings during the 15-year compliance period. Treasury disagreed with GAO's draft recommendation that it assess HFA capacity to conduct asset management after projects are built. GAO modified its recommendation to specify that Treasury use available information for assessing how HFAs are ensuring long-term viability of buildings.

So I found the tutorial and decided to attempt it on my concept logo I drew earlier last month. Let me know what you think. I think I have some work to do to make it look like the original one, but I still like how it came out.

I would appreciate info on Duck Hunting Guides in the Mississippi Flyway or Central Flyway.
That's a pretty broad area. Maybe if you were more specific, folks could point you in a good direction.
As Brad stated you might want to narrow your geographic area down a tad and possibly the type of hunting situation you are looking for; timber,marsh,field.
Duck Club of Okalahoma would be great for dry field hunting. Hackberry Rod & Gun for traditional south Lousiana marsh hunting with fantastic FOOD. Whoever you decide to go with make sure you check them out through various websites to make sure they are legit. Fancy ads are just as decieving as shiney dog trailers/websites some Pros have.

Evolutionary anthropologist to speak on his work, Oct. 15
Posted October 9, 2003; 04:37 p.m.
"Genomic Approaches to Human Origins" is the title of a lecture to be presented at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 15, in McCosh 50.
The speaker will be Svante Paabo, director of the Department of Genetics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. He and his colleagues study the genetic history of humans, apes and other organisms. They are interested both in the forces that affect the genome directly, such as mutation and recombination, and in the effects of selection and population history.
In his lecture, Paabo will describe work demonstrating that, despite the fact that the DNA sequences of humans and chimpanzees differ only slightly, the activity levels of their genes differ considerably. He also will highlight results on the evolution of the first gene known to be involved in the ability of humans to use language.
Paabo's talk is designated as the Spencer Trask Lecture and is part of the University's Public Lectures Series It will be Webcast live.

Siddhartha is a novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of an Indian man named Siddhartha during the time of the Buddha.
Public Domain (P)2010 Michael A. Smith
"A beautiful masterpiece and an excellent narrator"
The contrast in personality between Siddhartha and Govinda. They are actually two sides of the same sentient being, e.g., passive versus active.
Siddhartha is my favorite, but Vasudeva is not any less. Siddhartha personally experienced everything all the way through his life, but Vasudeva lent him a hand to make him realize what life is all about.
I did check out a few audible books narrated by Michael A. Smith. This is perhaps the best one. His soothing voice was very clear which made it extremely easy for me to follow the story. Most importantly, Michael's peaceful and neutral intonation imposed no unnecessary impression on me. Compared to all other versions of Siddhartha, this is by far the best!
There is no way that I can digest this much of information all at once.
Reading a book and listening to a book are really different. Michael has given his listeners an excellent performance.
"Good book with a great ending. Terrific narration."
The story is ok but the ending was so good! Worth reading just for that. Great narration too.
"Love this story!!!"
Without a doubt. This is an enduring masterpiece.
I have. This one was just as good, if not better.
Siddhartha himself.
