Combating racial discrimination in Georgia: Round Table of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) in Tbilisi
Date: 12 October 2011
Venue: Tbilisi – Courtyard Marriott Hotel
Organised by: the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) of the Council of Europe, in co-operation with the Public Defender of Georgia and with the support of UNDP Georgia.
Participants will discuss the follow-up given to the recommendations contained in ECRI's 2010 report on Georgia concerning a number of themes divided into four sessions:
- The general situation in Georgia as reflected in ECRI's report;
- Legislative and institutional framework for combating racial discrimination;
- Preventing and effectively responding to racism;
- Integration.
The event will be opened by Nils Muiznieks, Chair of ECRI. Opening speeches will be given also by David Bakradze, Chairman of the Parliament of Georgia, George Tugushi, Public Defender of Georgia and Jamie McGoldrick, Resident Representative of UNDP Georgia. Eva Smith Asmussen, Member of ECRI, will present ECRI's last report on Georgia. There will be a number of speakers, including senior Georgian Government representatives. In addition to representatives of the authorities, the round table will bring together the Parliament, the justice system and academia, as well as NGOs, trade unions and religious representatives.
In its third report on Georgia of June 2010 ECRI expressed its concern about persisting problems such as the fact that members of ethnic minorities still face exclusion due to their lack of command of Georgian and that Roma remain in a vulnerable position.
ECRI made also a certain number of recommendations to the Georgian authorities, among which the following three will be revisited in 2012:
- Reform the teaching of Georgian to ethnic minority pupils;
- Devise an integration strategy for Meskhetian Turks explaining the historical reasons for their return;
- Improve the teaching of Georgian to ethnic-minority students of the Zurab Zhvania Public Administration School and assist, among others, ethnic-minority graduates to find appropriate jobs.
The round table is open to the press. It will start at 9.30 am and end at 6.30 pm on Wednesday 12 October 2011.
Press contact: Stefano Valenti, Council of Europe, tel. +33 (0)3 90 21 43 28 firstname.lastname@example.com
ECRI is a human rights body of the Council of Europe, composed of independent experts, which monitors problems of racism, discrimination on grounds of ethnic origin, citizenship, colour, religion and language, as well as xenophobia, antisemitism and intolerance, prepares reports and issues recommendations to member States.

Yoda probably already beat me to the punch though.
Used a vibe breech with dual tail oring bolt.
When I am finished with this project it will be semi and full auto select fire with a flip of the switch shown in the vid. Im just missing the SMAV to fire the marker.
Im going to make a FS hole in the breach bottom and feed DAM mags with it. All in a PPSH-41 body. Already have the drum mag ready too.
Dont expect me to finish before May. Im a working man. Enjoy.

A 'one-to-one' technology program which helped equip students at a local middle school with their own Chromebook devices may eventually expand to the largest school in the district, Lancaster High School.
School district officials discussed applying for state budget proviso funding to help expand the program during Lancaster County school board's Aug. 18 meeting.
When the 350-plus Clinton Elementary students walk through the entrance for the first day of classes on Monday morning, Aug. 17, they might notice more changes in addition to the principal who greets them.
There's some new landscaping via a partnership.
On Thursday, Aug. 6, Team Depot, The Home Depot's associate-led volunteer program, showed up with wheel barrows, edging, lawn tools and mulch to help with a beautification project at the school.
As summer winds down and vacations come to an end, Lancaster County parents, students and teachers are gearing up for the new school year, which is set to begin Monday morning, Aug. 17.
For some students, including rising sixth and ninth graders, school has already begun, as those students attended orientation day on Friday to learn the in's and out's of acclimating to a new school, finding classrooms and learning their new schedules.

On April 14, 2014, Gov. Nikki Haley signed a bill eliminating the HSAP-High School Assessment Program as a requirement for students to earn a South Carolina high school diploma.
The bill means those who previously failed to pass sections on the HSAP and denied graduation, are now eligible to receive their diploma if they met all other graduation requirements at the time of his or her school attendance.

KERSHAW – No one is more surprised about her upcoming graduation, and the attention she's receiving for it, than Tatonna Miller.
With only days left until her graduation from Andrew Jackson High School, Miller, 19, bubbles over with enthusiasm as she talks about her anticipated walk across the stage on Friday, May 29 to accept her diploma.
Lancaster County's high school seniors and adult education students will head back to school one last time this week – but this time they're going to celebrate.
More than 750 adult education students and high school seniors will take part in commencement exercises Wednesday, May 27, and Friday, May 29, crossing stages from one phase of life to another.
Sharing the moment with them will be thousands of family members and friends.
Lacy Bowers is graduating from Lancaster High School with a long list of successes.
She's in the top 25 of her 271-member graduating class, was senior prom queen, first runner-up for homecoming queen, in the National Honor Society, Beta Club, Civinettes, Marching Band, Jazz Band, and the list goes on.
But things didn't start out that way for her as a first-grader at Clinton Elementary School.
South Middle School Principal Joyce Crimminger stood before a crowded Bundy Auditorium at the University of South Carolina Lancaster on March 19, with one of her 534 students, a beaming young man named Chandler Hinson.
Chandler is a special needs student, Crimminger explained, with a developmental disorder characterized, in part, by a smiling, happy demeanor and sweet disposition.
Crimminger said Chandler has overcome some significant obstacles in the years he's been at South, struggles balanced in the scope of things by his ability to light up a room.
Monday, Nov. 24, was a long day for Columbia City Ballet principal dancer Claire McCaa and the 29 other members of the professional company.
They left the state capital before dawn for the annual performance of "The Nutcracker" at Lancaster High School auditorium.
"We left about 6:45 (a.m.) she said. "It wasn't light yet."
Douglas has perfect attendance last year
Ya'Dynasty Douglas had perfect attendance during her fourth-grade year at Brooklyn Springs Elementary School during the school's 2013-14 year.
Howey named to president's list
Anna Weeks Howey was named to the 2014 spring president's list at Winthrop University for maintaining a 4.0 grade-point average at the university. She is majoring in physical education and will graduate in December 2014.

Tot Sauce is the new, less lame name for the series formerly known as Triple Shot. One topic, three links, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning, for kids, people who have kids, or people who used to be kids...
Former Boys' Life subscribers of all ages: earn your merit badge in nostalgic time-wasting with Google's exhaustive Boys' Life archive. From the very first issue in 1911 (cover story by Jack London) up through the end of 2009, the Boy Scouts of America's official magazine maps a century of the evolution of American boyhood.
But even voracious retrophiles like me can't possibly devour it all. Lacking any better principle, I started with the issues whose covers caught my eye. The three I settled on span just 15 of the 98 years of the archive, and I can't necessarily say they're the "best" issues of Boys' Life. But their covers didn't disappoint.
Boys' Life, May 1982: "What is this marvelous machine so many are using so well?" asks the future-forward cover story. "What's in that box, behind that screen you've heard about, seen at school or a friend's house - or even operated now and then?" It goes on to predict that in 2002, you'll have a computer in your brain activated by a switch behind your left ear, and you'll search for information just by thinking about it. "Do you think this story is farfetched? It's not." Along with the full-page ad for the basic Dungeons & Dragons game, and the piece on recumbent bikes, this issue captures the geek ascendancy in its larval stage.
Boys' Life, June 1974: "Colon(, Michigan) could be tagged 'The Town That Magic Built,' for many of its citizens are practicing magicians who work for Abbott's Magic Manufacturing Company." No, that isn't the first sentence of some whimsically poignant Michael Chabon novel. It's from the cover story of this issue, reporting on the sleight-of-hand boom that made Doug Henning and David Copperfield famous. The photos of '70s teenage magicians performing their illusions have a magic all their own. The kids of the Watergate era were finding other new enthusiasms, too, like soccer (in a piece by respected veteran English soccer writer Brian Glanville) and photography ("You Can Take Good Color Pictures"). But the ads for air rifles, baseball gloves, and dirt bikes prove that American boys were still American boys.
Boys' Life, December 1967: No, the psychedelic op/pop cover didn't mean the Boy Scouts had turned into the Merry Pranksters. Articles about model ships and Johnny Unitas are as wholesome as ever. But the Age of Aquarius casts its kaleidoscopic shadow over an ad for Chevrolet's experimental Astro I concept car, a Smith-Corona ad proclaiming a "type-in", and a trippily illustrated Poul Anderson story about "Christmas on Atlantis: a weird mystery that rocks a boy's world." The boys, they were a-changin'.
Three down, 900-odd issues to go. Let's talk children's magazines: share your reminiscences, show us what you found in the Boy's Life archive, talk about which other vintage kid-rags you wish you could browse (Highlights archive, where are you?), and tell us what periodicals (paper or pixel) your kids read these days.

Perfect if you are the kind of person that loves carrying a little bit of cash, a drivers licence, a couple of credit cards and not much else. The Charlie is a slim, simple wallet that won't be an unsightly bulge in your jeans.
"Great card wallet! Perfect size, picture was true to the wallets colour and the item arrived very quickly!!"
"Perfect for my extra cards . ."
"Great if I want to travel light. I use this for my transpo card and at times when i dont want to use my bulging wallet, i put the only cards i know i will use :) like it! Very handy!"
"Slim, attractive, no fuss card wallet. Excellent slim wallet for folks who only need to carry around a few cards. The colour is less vibrant than in pictures, but still very nice to look at."
"Fantastic little wallet. This is a very compact card wallet made of quite sturdy material. It does not stretch significantly but will hold a large number of cards and some cash with no problems. I'm currently carrying seven cards including a security swipe card for work, and i have room for four or five notes without pushing the limit. There is no room for coins but that is exactly why you have a coin pocket in your jeans/shorts/etc. Overall a fantastic product."
"Great minimalist wallet/card holder. The product is hand washable 100% polyester, well made and just what i need."
"Minimalist but gets the job done. It's definitely form over function and that's what i wanted, very happy with the cardholder tbh."
"great card wallet for up to 4 cards and 1 or 2 notes. Super thin card wallet - if you only use your basics and can live with 4 or less card and even less cash this is for you."
"A wallet for the minimalist . If your sick of carrying around a slab of leather in your pocket and you\'ve realised you only really need 4-5 cards on a daily basis then pick up one of these. Great craftsmanship and it feels good in the pocket. It\'s a little tight to start with but it loosens up after a bit of use :p not so much that your cards will fall out though. I generally keep 2 cards and some cash, quartered, in the center slot. Great wallet at a wallet friendly price."
"loving it. ."

Second MCC president finalist visits campus
Miles Community College will welcome the second of three finalists for the vacant president's position to campus on Thursday.
Spencer McNiven, Vice President of Operations and Student Affairs at Lincoln College of New England in Connecticut, will be introduced to the community at an open forum Friday beginning at 5:30 at MCC.
A Montana native who grew up in eastern Montana, McNiven is excited to be a finalist and is looking forward to his visit to Miles City.
"For me, this would be an opportunity to come back home," McNiven said. "Living out east gives you an opportunity to appreciate where you came from. I've been around and done a few things, and now it's time to come back home and let my kids grow up in a similar situation I grew up in."
MCC has struggled with declining enrollment the past few years due in no small part to the energy boom in eastern Montana and western North Dakota. McNiven said bringing those numbers back would be a challenge he is qualified to accept.
"A lot of my focus over the past 10 years has been in enrollment growth," he said. "I know that's one of the biggest challenges MCC has, so I feel my experience especially in building growth through online programs and distance education is something I can bring to the table. Once we get that student population to increase, we open up opportunities for many other things...MCC isn't just another rural community college for me. This really is home, so for me the ability to help improve, build and give back to the area where I consider home would bring a great sense of pride and responsibility."
McNiven directly manages and provides leadership for all aspects of the Student Affairs departments in his current position. He assisted in the transition period of a college on the brink of bankruptcy with new ownership, new president, the rebranding of the school and the development of online programs. He stabilized student population, increased the number of students in the residence halls and built relationships with businesses to increase revenue by partnering to better utilize institutional resources. McNiven also restructured the athletic department to create a competitive team and a recreational league resulting in an increase in resident students.
McNiven holds an undergraduate degree in Business Finance from University of Phoenix alongside a Master's in Business Administration with a Leadership Emphasis from Grand Canyon University.
He has worked as a leader in higher education for the past 10 years, and as the Utah Campus Manager, McNiven was one of the key contributors of the enrollment growth that Grand Canyon University experienced during 2007-2009. McNiven has served on numerous campus committees and boards. His community involvement includes being the Committee Chair of Boy Scouts of America, Assistant Scout Director, Cub Scout Director and President of Young Men's Organization.
"As a native Montanan growing up only a few hours from Miles City in Melstone, Spencer is familiar with our western heritage and the values of a rural community," said MCC Human Resources director and search committee member Kylene Phipps. "He brings direct student affairs management and leadership experience at the collegiate level. Residing in different locations across the United States, he brings a variety of leadership experience."

Leather footstools to complement your furniture
There's nothing more satisfying than putting your feet up after a long day, so why not treat yourself to something from our range of comfortable leather footstools? Footstools serve a dual purpose; not only do they provide extra comfort when reclining, but they also look great, and really add to the furniture arrangements of most living rooms. Our collection features a variety of different designs, so you'll be able to find a piece that perfectly complements the rest of your décor.
Leather footstools to fit your interiors
Some of our leather footstools serve three purposes. Our KIVIK model, for example, provides a convenient storage solution on top of looking great and providing extra seating space. Elsewhere, if you have particularly modern or minimalist interiors, you'll want to take a look at our POÄNG series, which feature a contemporary design in understated colors. But if you're after something slightly more traditional, check out our YSTAD footstool – a more conventional take on living room furniture. Make sure you relax in style and add to the feel of your interiors with one of our functional and highly attractive footstools.

Hey all I am looking for some help. 4 years ago I and my son were hit by an inattentive driver. I was in the hospital and lost everything (House ,car, 2 dojos) w while their insurance filed continuance after continuance ( for 2 years) . The bills were so built up the payoff was not near enough to pay them off and I had to bankrupcy everything.
A guy bought out house on a tax foreclosure for less than 2000.00.
how does this process work ? I see there are list after list who promise lots of these foreclosed properties but never deliver on the low advertising prices. I know this system is in place because I lost my house as evidence.
Does anyone have any expertice in this area/ process they could share with me? Please PM me PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE.

AMES, Iowa – Twelve Iowa communities have been selected to participate in the Iowa's Living Roadways Community Visioning Program in 2012.
The award-winning program integrates technical landscape planning and design techniques with sustainable community action to assist community leaders and volunteers in making sound and meaningful decisions about the local landscape.
The 2012 visioning communities are Calmar, Center Point, Chariton, Colo, Dyersville, Manning, Paullina, Perry, Schaller, Tabor, Tripoli and Villisca.
The program is sponsored by the Iowa Department of Transportation in partnership with Iowa State University Landscape Architecture Extension and Trees Forever, an Iowa-based nonprofit environmental advocacy organization. In addition, professional landscape architects offer expertise in creating conceptual design plans for the communities.
To qualify for the visioning program, a community must have a population of fewer than 10,000, existing transportation-related issues and a committee of volunteers willing to dedicate their time and talent to the visioning process.
Since 1996, 182 Iowa communities have benefited from the visioning program.

Strange Bedfellows
Let me make it a little clearer. If one accepts Ruddiman's hypothesis, one implicitly agrees that: i) CO2 and CH4 can be affected by human activity, ii) greenhouse gases have a significant forcing role, and iii) climate sensitivity is in the ballpark of mainstream estimates. (The opposite is not however true, one can agree on those three points (which is pretty much the IPCC consensus) without necessarily thinking that Ruddiman is correct). One must therefore conclude that those contrarians who have warmly welcomed Ruddiman's thesis have now come around to mainstream opinion. Hmm…
But wait, they might say, we don't believe any of those things, but we accept that we may be wrong, in which case, Ruddiman's theory still implies that we should not do anything about increasing CO2 . No. At minimum it might indicate that reducing CO2 below pre-industrial levels might not be a good idea, but that is far from saying that any amount of further increases are beneficial. It certainly doesn't follow that if a little bit of CO2 is good for the climate, then a lot more is better.
I think a more obvious explanation is that, for some critics, any argument will do – regardless of its coherence with the argument they had before, or the one they will pick next.

ARSC T3D Users' Newsletter 96, July 19, 1996
ARSC's MPP Queues
ARSC's T3D has been busy: 59 - 77% utilized during the last 4 months. Thanks to a cooperative spirit among users, access to the big queues seems to be reasonably equitable.
This seemed, however, like a good time to re-state the "gentlemen's agreement" which has helped maintain fair access. Simply put: please don't have more than one job (running or executing) in an MPP queue at a time.
The following description of this "agreement" can be found on denali by typing:
denali> news t3dbatch
Queue name Number Max jobs Time limit When queue of PEs per queue on queue is enabled m_128pe_5m 128 1 5 minutes after downtimes m_128pe_8h 128 1 8 hours Friday 6PM to Sunday 4AM m_64pe_24h 64 1 24 hours always m_64pe_10m 64 1 10 minutes always m_32pe_24h 32 1 24 hours always m_16pe_24h 16 2 24 hours always m_8pe_24h 8 2 24 hours alwaysA request made to these queues will be run as soon as enough PEs are available to satisfy the request.
Please submit/execute, at most, one job per MPP queue at a time. ARSC does not enforce this "queue ethic" (by actively blocking or deleting user jobs), but has found that users are willing to work together to provide fair access to the queues.
As an example of the "queue ethic," if user "jackalope" submitted a job to the m_64pe_24h queue, he would not submit another until the first had run to completion and thus made the queue available to other users. Meanwhile, "jackalope" could have one job in the m_32pe_24h queue, if he wanted, without violating the ethic.
If you feel that the queues are being misused, we will work actively to resolve the situation. Contact:

18:1 Speedup Demonstrated: Free for Using System Libraries[ Don Morton, visiting ARSC from Cameron University, provides this article. See his contact information, below. ]
Many of us have come to view the art of T3D programming as one of maximizing parallelism. We concentrate on our speedups, and if they're close to linear we may think we've done all we can to enhance performance. Obviously, we want our code to be as scalable as possible, but the bottom line is that we want greater throughput.
In many codes, the throughput can be improved by enhancing the per-processor performance. This might make our speedups less than perfect, since communication costs and inherently sequential sections of code would take up an increasing portion of the overall processing time, but what's more important - a perfect speedup curve or greater throughput? Often, if we can enhance the throughput, we can consider solving larger problems.
Scientific codes often contain vector, vector-matrix, and matrix-matrix operations which can be greatly optimized by making use of Basic Linear Algebra Subroutine (BLAS). Although vector programmers should already be aware of this, the information is useful on non-vector processors, also.
As a simple example, let's consider some vector operations. The code which follows begins with three vectors, x, y, and z. They are initialized, then both x and y are scaled by dividing by their largest-magnitude element. Finally, z is obtained by adding x, multiplied by some factor (alpha), and y. The latter is a classic SAXPY operation (scalar alpha x plus y), and looks like
z <-- alpha*x + ywhere x, y, z are vectors and alpha is a scalar value. Saxpy operations are typically very efficient, as vector entries are stored in contiguous logical memory locations. Although cache replacement algorithms vary between architectures, in general, when the first entry of a vector is referenced, it, and a block of memory which follows the entry, is copied to cache under the assumption that more entries in the vector will be referenced in the near future. Thus, when the second entry of the vector is referenced it will already be in cache, providing rapid access. The lesson here is that if we can express our code so that contiguous memory locations are referenced in each loop iteration, memory access will be more efficient. Additionally, this allows us to make use of the highly-optimized libraries for even greater performance.
The first section of the following code displays the scaling and saxpy operations discussed above. The second half of the code shows the same operations performed by calling BLAS routines ISAMAX to find the index of the largest-magnitude element, SSCAL to scale the vectors, and SAXPY to perform the saxpy operation. All of these routines are documented in man pages on denali. When compiled for the T3D with the Fortran 90 compiler, the code required 1.43 seconds to perform these operations without BLAS routines, and 0.25 seconds with BLAS. CRI has put considerable effort into optimizing these routines, so by recognizing operations which can benefit with BLAS, we can simplify our code and exhibit better per-processor performance, which of course leads to better throughput.
program blastest parameter(isize=1 000 000, alpha=3.14) real x(isize), y(isize), z(isize) ccc initialize x and y to some random values do i=1,isize x(i) = RANF() y(i) = RANF() enddo ccccccccccccccccc NON-BLAS timer1 = SECONDR() ccc scale each of these vectors by their largest absolute value index = 1 do i=2,isize if ( ABS(x(i)) .gt.

ABS(y(index)) ) index = i enddo scale = 1.0/y(index) do i=1,isize y(i) = y(i)/scale enddo ccc saxpy operation do i=1,isize z(i) = alpha*x(i) + y(i) enddo timer2 = SECONDR() print *, timer2 - timer1, ' seconds for non-BLAS' ccccccccccccccccc Same operations as above, this time using BLAS routines ccc initialize x and y to some random values do i=1,isize x(i) = RANF() y(i) = RANF() enddo timer1 = SECONDR() ccc scale each of these vectors by their largest absolute value index = ISAMAX(isize, x, 1) scale = 1.0/x(index) call SSCAL(isize, scale, x, 1) index = ISAMAX(isize, y, 1) scale = 1.0/y(index) call SSCAL(isize, scale, y, 1) ccc saxpy operation call SAXPY(isize, alpha, x, 1, y, 1) timer2 = SECONDR() print *, timer2 - timer1, ' seconds wall time for BLAS' stop endEven more improvement can be realized with matrix operations. As another simple example, let's consider matrix-matrix multiplication. We have all learned that two nxn matrices can be multiplied by placing the following statement inside a set of three nested loops, iterating on i, j, and k:
c(i,j) <-- c(i,j) + a(i,k)*b(k,j)No matter how we arrange the three nested loops (there are six possible ways), we will obtain the same answer. However, the time it takes to get an answer is influenced by the loop ordering.
In the code which follows, after initializing a and b with random values, and c with zeroes, I demonstrate what I call a "naive" approach - we simply code up our textbook example and get our answer.
In the next multiplication, which I call "structured," I arrange the nested loops so that I have a saxpy operation. In Fortran, which stores matrices in column-major ordering, the innermost loop will iterate down the columns of a and c. Because the columns will map to contiguous logical memory locations, they can be viewed just as the vectors in a saxpy operation. As the innermost loop iterates, b(k,j) is constant, and thus we can think of it as a scalar value.
In the third multiplication, the innermost loop is replaced with the BLAS SAXPY routine.
Finally, in the fourth multiplication, I make use of a BLAS3 (matrix-matrix) SGEMM routine to replace all of my loops.
program matmult parameter(isize=512) dimension a(isize, isize), b(isize, isize), c(isize,isize) ccc initialize a and b to random values, c to zero do j=1,isize do i=1,isize a(i,j) = RANF() b(i,j) = RANF() c(i,j) = 0.0 enddo enddo ccc Naive matrix multiplication timer1 = SECONDR() do i=1,isize do j=1,isize do k=1,isize c(i,j) = c(i,j) + a(i,k)*b(k,j) enddo enddo enddo timer2 = SECONDR() print *, 'Time for naive matrix multiplication: ', & timer2-timer1 ccc Structured matrix multiplication ccc initialize c to zero do j=1,isize do i=1,isize c(i,j) = 0.0 enddo enddo timer1 = SECONDR() do k=1,isize do j=1,isize do i=1,isize c(i,j) = c(i,j) + a(i,k)*b(k,j) enddo enddo enddo timer2 = SECONDR() print *, 'Time for structured matrix multiplication: ', & timer2-timer1 ccc BLAS1 ccc initialize c to zero do j=1,isize do i=1,isize c(i,j) = 0.0 enddo enddo timer1 = SECONDR() do k=1,isize do j=1,isize call SAXPY(isize, b(k,j), a(1,k), 1, c(1,j), 1) enddo enddo timer2 = SECONDR() print *, 'Time for BLAS1 matrix multiplication: ', & timer2-timer1 ccc BLAS3 ccc initialize c to zero do j=1,isize do i=1,isize c(i,j) = 0.0 enddo enddo timer1 = SECONDR() call SGEMM('N', 'N', isize, isize, isize, 1.0, a, isize, & b, isize, 1.0, c, isize) timer2 = SECONDR() print *, 'Time for BLAS3 SGEMM matrix multiplication: ', & timer2-timer1 stop endTimings for the code are as follows:
Time for naive matrix multiplication: 46.09 Time for structured matrix multiplication: 34.33 Time for BLAS1 matrix multiplication: 11.18 Time for BLAS3 SGEMM matrix multiplication: 2.52I have only scratched the surface of linear algebra optimization, but hopefully it has demonstrated the benefits of looking more closely at our operations to see how we might benefit by calling BLAS routines. With a little effort, we might find it possible to use 16 PE's where we once required 64, simply by improving the per-processor performance.
Closing points - LAPACK routines, for the solution of various linear systems, are also available on denali. If you're worried about portability, both BLAS and LAPACK sources are available from Netlib:
http://www.netlib.org/and have been implemented on numerous systems ranging from Linux PC's to supercomputers. In fact, the use of these routines allows us to implement operations in a portable, yet often optimized, manner.

I just bought a Indivia N1 cat back exhaust (full turbo back in spring) and from what I read I need a bumper heat shield. I cant seem to find one that I can buy. Anyone know where I can find one? it is for the 2010 wrx hatchback. I can find one for the sedan but not that hatchback that I own. i really would rather buy the heat shield than have my bumper melt! HELP!
thanks once again guys and gals

Hi Lucy,
I have written to you so many times about the various issues concerning my own teaching situations and I have always received invaluable advice from you, which always helped me out of the difficult situations. This time I'm writing in again to ask consult you the issue of designing ESP material. I'm teaching English to students of Information Technology. As you know, textbooks in this field are very far and few between. The ones that we are using at the moment include Basic English for Computing, Infotech, and Oxford English for Computing. However, after a period of time working with these books we realized that they are not much suitable for our students as well as our iwn teaching situation. We, a group of teachers, have decided to design new material for our students. Yet we are all new to designing material. As we started we realized that things are not that simple. But we still embark on this project, which we very much hope that may bring our teaching job to a higher level and will benefit both teachers and students. I'd like to ask you a few things. First of all, Where should we start? What steps Should we follow and how to carry out each of them? How to decide on the approach and methodology to the book and how to realize them in the tasks of the book?
I hope these questions will not take you too much time
Look forward to hear from you soon

text: When you are out and about what is your reaction when you see Fetts that are maybe not strictly accurate? I'm new and the reason I ask is because I have seen mentioned several times the term correct dental spanner (at least I think that is what it was called) and I am going to be honest here I have no idea what that thing is. That is only an example (if someone wants to smarten up the new guy feel free). I'm talking abut times when people have obviously put in hard work on their costume here as well. Do you go "Oh hey you are into what I'm into HI!" or do you go "screw that guy he isn't screen accurate."? Its just a thought that I had because when I saw Boba Fett for the first time in that theater watching Return of The Jedi my reaction was not "*** did you see that dental spanner!?!" It was more "*** that guy is awesome looking!". I'm not saying either is correct because they are opinions and we all know what those are like. I'm just curious.

we are the law
The Register on the EU IP Rights Enforcement Bill:
The bill creates a new "Right of Information" that allows rights holders to obtain personal information on P2P file sharers. An ISP's servers can be seized and destroyed with no hearing if one of their customers is alleged to have infringed a copyright.
There's something scary in a legislative body when it starts implying that some special interest groups are always right and can rectify alleged wrongs by themselves. Picture an army of Judge Dredds storming in a ISP's servers room stating "We are the law." and wreaking havoc.

Help! Sensitive skin possible food allergy?
Hi Im hoping some of you with experience can help me..
I've owned my purebred GS Izzy for 5 years, she is 7y/o now. Previous to me she was at a show home we know she only got one cup of dry soaked a day but never sure what exactly it was they fed her. She looked alot lighter when we first got her also.
In the first year of owning her despite always being treated correctly for fles/worms she would always scratch. We took her to the vets and they said something of possibly having an allergy to protien...?
We had her on some very expensive dry for almost a year but as time got on her started to feed her similar things to what we would feed my Kelpie and she was absolutely fine. No real issues with scratching etc.
Not long ago she started licking her back leg so much that all the hair came off and it got very irritated and sore. When we treated that she started to do it in another spot.. That lasted 2 weeks and then she stopped however she has been itching like mad again.
Of course we treated for fleas straight away but she still does it.
Ive read a little about making her own food from home and just wanted to know maybe what you guys do or make for dogs with sensitive skin or possibly allergy?
Sorry for long post but I really appreciate the help :)
Food allergies are actually not the most common cause of atopic dermatitis (itching).
Signs Your Pet May Have Allergies
Allergies can develop at any point in life, and unfortunately it is pretty difficult to figure out what is causing them. I think it would be helpful for you to record when this is happening and how severe the symptoms are you so you can see if it is related to something she ate, the weather, possible fleas, any changes in bedding or cleaning agents, and anything else you can think of. You may find this is not related to food at all.
Was the expensive dry food she was on eliminating her symptoms? If so, I would use that to conduct an "elimination diet," where you feed her that food until her symptoms go away, and then add in ingredients one by one to see if she has a reaction. It can take a long time for the symptoms to go away (my vet said eight weeks, I have heard anything from 6-16 weeks).
DIY Elimination Diet for Dog and Cat « Dr. Matt Allworth – Veterinarian
If you are going to make homemade dog food, you will need to do a lot of research to make sure you are feeding something that is complete and balanced. There is a lot of information on the internet but unfortunately a lot of it is bad information.
My dog has iffy allergies that are definitely environmental but might also be related to food. I tried a raw diet for a while and it helped...until the weather got warm! Then we were BOTH itching and rubbing our eyes (yay for living in an agricultural valley). So then I knew it wasn't the food after all, even though she does have a sensitive stomach and seems unable to tolerate certain ingredients. We are trying a fish and potato-based kibble and it seems to be helping so far. Raw was also great (her most recent blood test showed her to be in excellent health) but I have had trouble with her getting bad gastroenteritis from certain ingredients.
Something that can help with itchy skin is giving essential fatty acids to your dog to build up the lipid layer on their skin. These are found in marine fish oils and things like evening primrose oil, safflower oil, and coconut oil. I would use products meant for humans and ask your vet about dosages. You can find good stuff at natural food stores.
Proplan Sensitive Skin & Stomach. Mine had a digestive issues early on and this helped fix it.

Firearm wear depends a lot on the type of ammo that is used. Is it range ammo (not usually full power) or full power personal protection ammo, and is the case brass with a copper jacketed bullet? I stay away from Wolf or any ammo that uses a steel case. Be sure your cleaning brush is brass (no steel or stainless steel) and your cleaning rod is brass (stay away from steel).
For cost savings, I would suggest getting a quality semi-auto in .22LR. The ammo savings will more than pay for the .22LR. I also suggest starting with a .22LR while working on the fundamentals. For years, you will still be using the .22LR to practice the fundamentals and do it at a lower ammo cost.

Hello everyone,
There are probably hundreds of ways to teach grammar and it is difficult to choose the one I want to use with my future students. In your opinion, what is the best way to learn grammar? Of course, I want to find a way to make it useful and fun. There has been too much talk about the dullness of grammar and it should not be the case. Grammar is important and it needs to be addressed in order to really improve. Especially for second language learners such as students I taught to during my practicums. So, do you guys know any good websites or have any good ideas as to relevant and fun techniques to teach grammar to second language learners??
Thank you
Samuel C.

Rob Osterbauer Joins Heritage Oaks Bank - 05/04/12
11:40 A.M. PT, May 4, 2012
(Paso Robles, CA) – One of the Central Coast's most experienced agribusiness lenders has joined Heritage Oaks Bank. Rob Osterbauer will serve as market area president in San Luis Obispo County, where he will be responsible for growing and managing all loans and deposits. In addition he will lead the Agribusiness Division for the entire bank.
Osterbauer comes to his new post with a deep background in agribusiness lending. He spent seven years at Rabobank N.A, where he most recently managed the bank's Central Coast agribusiness division. He is a Certified Public Accountant who dedicated six years of his career to public accounting. He has long-term roots on the Central Coast, having received a Business Economics degree from UC Santa Barbara before completing an MBA at Cal Poly, SLO. He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the California Society of CPAs.
"Rob Osterbauer is a critically important addition to the Heritage Oaks Bank executive team," said Simone Lagomarsino, president and chief executive officer. "A seasoned professional like Rob will be invaluable as we grow, especially in light of our interest in the agribusiness sector. We are delighted to welcome him to the bank," she concluded.
Osterbauer commented on his new position. "I am looking forward to my new career at Heritage Oaks Bank. The bank has worked hard to get through the difficult times and is well positioned to grow. I am very impressed with the entire team and look forward to helping make this a successful bank and great place to work," he said. Osterbauer and his family live in Arroyo Grande.

A 'complication' is any additional horological function to the display of hours, minutes and seconds.
Complicated watches are assigned to one of two categories:
- Complications : watches with one or several additional hands that have a timing function such as Annual Calendar, dual time zones, multiple time zones (World Time), power reserve indication, 10-day power reserve, indication of the state of wind of the movement.
- Grand complications : watches with astronomical indications such as perpetual calendar (with moon phases), perpetual calendar with fly-back retrograde date, astronomical calendar, small and grand strikes, minute repeater, chronographs and split-seconds chronographs, self-winding Annual Calendar Chronograph, tourbillon chronometer with 10-day power reserve, triple and grand complications, sidereal time, running equation of time, sky chart.
Watch enthusiasts can learn more about the lunar phase indicator mechanism by clicking on the left menu. Additionally, if you own one of the three other Grand Complication watches, log-in to the related micro-site using the password that you received with the instruction documents of your watch.

Postgraduate Coursework Units of Study
ECMT6002 - Econometric Applications
Semester 2, 2012 | Credit Points: 6
Coordinator: Diane Dancer
This unit illustrates how econometric methods can be applied to economic data to solve problems that arise in economics and business. Econometric theory provides the techniques needed to quantify the strength and form of relationships between variables. Applied econometrics is concerned with the strategies that need to be employed to use these techniques effectively; to determine which model to specify and whether the data are appropriate. Guidelines for undertaking applied work are discussed. Case studies drawn from economics, marketing, finance, and accounting are also discussed. The unit includes a major econometric modelling project.
group project (25%), mid-semester test (25%) and 1x2hr final exam (50%)

text: This might be unpopular to say, but I think Stuckey has a relatively limited offensive repertoire and some bad habits, that after his initial mega burst, people have got the film on and figured him out. I've noticed his ballhandling is way down, he's become really sloppy dribbling, even unguarded, there was a sequence up the floor last night where the ball dribbled away from him, and he had to fight to get back to it. Come to think of it, maybe it's a concentration issue. People are drawing a couple charges a game on him right now. I forget who said it, but Stuckey is fully capable of charging with either shoulder. I think we forget how there are pros breaking down people's games, and the slightest tell or tick, can be turned against you. Right now, Rod seems to be pressing. But bottom line, the whole team isn't having fun out there, which doesn't raise anyone's game.

I'm looking to trade a trophy whitetail bow hunt (gun can be considered) for a trophy elk hunt. Bow or Muzzleloader preferred. Rifle will work too! It would be perfect to trade for 2 people. My property is not expansive but has a very concentrated deer population. Antlers are typical (never seen a non typical) and there is potential to shoot a 200" deer. I would expect more in the 150"-165" but you never know. Several giants are killed within a mile every year. You are welcome to hunt my stands or hang your own.
I am a very experienced hunter but have no experience with Elk. Would need someone to help, at least learn. Private land preferred.
As we all know it's hunting not killing and I expect no slam dunks. Just looking for my better than averae opportunity. Which is the same I can offer you. If you are interested please PM or email me. email@example.com
Thanks. J

Sorry, missed that he was older. Still, finding out at a year should make it easier to manage.
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
The video says he was 2.5 at the time. I think would be better to see him at a trot and a run. To me they just are not natural at a walking pace.
What I saw with my dysplatic female was she could run but it was not as flat out as my other dogs whose legs appeared to go almost completely flat behind them......The proverbial bunny hop but it was very subtle.
I'm no expert but his back end definitely looks weak. It's more than just a bum wiggle.
Dogs with hip dysplasia need to have good muscle to support the joints with as little extra weight as possible. 2 miles isn't a huge amount of exercise and I'm guessing it's on a lead so your challenge will be keeping him happy and content while managing him physically. If he's just a year he's still growing so you need to be extra careful. Did your vet say how bad it is? Would they consider operating? When our dog was diagnosed we got wetsuits and took him swimming and stopped all ball games and high impact exercise. It was a massive challenge having a young dog with H/D but you're in a better position to manage it if you find out early. Good luck.

I agree on the weight. You want to keep him lean and build those back leg muscles a little more. But the wiggle....well I had an OFA good dog whose but moved around like that when he walked. In the end, he did have lower back issues. We are planning on going to a sports medicine DVM for an assessment this summer for a good exercise plan even though we don't have any known issues.
They have physical therapy vets for dogs and that would be a great place for a consult and a plan for appropriate exercise for yours. [though they may try to see you on their hydrotherapy sessions, which I just said I could not do, but the plan helped me keep mine in good shape and her HD was severe]
Walking uphill is very good, going from sit to a stand, walking in chest high water, to keep him in good shape. The more you can to to keep the back leg muscles strong, the more support for the hip joint, and the less arthritis.
You can add green beans. 32 oz if you are using a measuring cup seems a lot for a dog that is only walking 2 miles a day. But go on weight. He is too heavy so needs to eat less.

Hip Dysplasia (Video)
Hey Guys,
Max was diagnosed with HD when he was a year old according to X-ray. I personally don't know anything about HD and I need some of your experts opinion on it. Currently max is on 4 health grain free food (16 oz. twice daily), He also get Dasuquin with MSM daily with each meal (twice daily), and he weighs 95 pounds. I don't know how his hips are compared to regular GSD. Can you all give me a feedback by watching video what do you think about his hip? He's really active I had never seen him limping, or licking his legs, etc.

Re: Loose Foot vs. AttachedWhat's Best?
I changed my Bene 411 to loose footed main and have noticed in heavy air running the boom does get a bit of a bend in it(may be I should reef earlier)On a nother yacht I had 40fter I did break the boom (twice) I don't no if the reason was the loose footed main or hitting the back of the swell, I think reefing a bit earlier to take the strain away from the end of the boom is the trick
You are probably right that you would not notice the difference between a shelf foot or a loose foot main vs. a traditional attached foot mainsail, if you are sailing a low performance boat like a Challenger 40 ketch, especially in a high wind venue like San Francisco.
But for the rest of us, the reality is that a shelf foot or loose foot, allows the lower portion of the sail to have a closer to proper shape all the way to the foot, whereas a traditional attached foot flattens the lower portion of the sail reducing the performance and increasing heel by over-flattening the largest portion of the sail. This ability to shape the lower portion of the sail offers a real advantage on higher performance boats.
Once you start trying to shape the lower portion of the sail, there are two contradictory arguments that get made; a shelf foot acts as an end plate increasing efficiency by preventing 'pressure leakage' and decreasing tip vortex but loose foot sails have more area and theoretically generate less turbulence at the boom.
In terms of your comment that the bolt rope at the foot of the sail distributes the load far more fairly than points at the tack and clew, with less reinforcing needed at these two connections, that is only true on a low performance sail which lacks a shelf foot. Once the sail has a shelf foot, there should be no load distributed to the bolt rope, and so the load distribution and corner reinforcing is virtually the same between a shelf foot and a loose foot.
I am plenty happy with my attatched foot main and mizzen. I feel that the bolt rope at the foot of the sail distributes load far more fairly than points at the tack and clew, with less reinforcing needed at these two connections. The complaint regarding outhaul adjustment does make sense, the extra friction due to the boltrope is certainly a hinderance to tightening, yet this is not a problem I can remember encountering. I feel that my attached foot sails have better shape insofar as their draft, they also make a great hammock when running from the wind!
We've had reef ties on several boats over the years. I have the grommets for them on my 35' sloop, but don't use them and don't even have them installed. Now that we've retrofitted single line reefing (led to the cockpit), we'd rather not go on deck for reef ties, anyway.
We had a catboat (with a boom longer than the LOD) for 15 years and would use the ties if we had more than one reef. The need here was to gather a lot of sailcloth: didn't want to catch anything in a gybe and also wanted to minimize visual blockage. The key here is to have long enough reef ties so they could be tied loosely, as the previous commenter indicated.
Going back to the sloop, we opted to eliminate the shelf last time we ordered a new main. We have lines in the leech and foot to minimize flutter.
|Jack: Thank you!
Faster is correct.
I tell my students that the ties are primarily cosmetic and help prevent the sail from blocking your view. Many charter companies do not put reef ties in the sails because of the damage that can be caused by trying to shake a reef with the ties in place.
Reef ties are tied loosely around the boom, whether or not the sail is loose footed.
One of disadvantages of the loose footed main is that the shelf of the sail on an attached main can be used to indicate too much outhaul tension. You get a crease if the outhaul is too hard.
[QUOTE=Faster;684278]I think he's referring to the clew reefing line(s), not the 'reef ties' that you're thinking of. Tightly tying in the reef ties around the boom can indeed cause damage to the sail, whether loose footed or otherwise.[/QUOTE]
Thanks, that makes sense. I've never sailed a boat with an attached foot mainsail, but I'd assumed that with such a sail one had no choice but to wrap the ties around the boom as there was no gap between the boom and the sail. Is that wrong, and there's enough of a gap to fit the ties?
[QUOTE=acunningham;684277]This sentence surprises me. I once had an instructor tell me never to tie reefing lines around the boom on a loose-footed mainsail, as it could cause excessive load on the sail cloth and tear it. He told me to simply tie them under the foot of the sail. Was he wrong?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Dan Dickison;170332]Equally important is the fact that a loose-footed mainsail enables you to more easily rig reefing lines by tying the bitter end around the boom.[/QUOTE]

|The loose footed main is more adjustable and prefered on most racing applications. If it is cut with excessive foot material it will hang lower than the boom improving the performance , increasing the aspect ratio. Disavantages are that you may catch it on your head or it may flutter in a breeze. No major difference when reefing. The quotes that I received from North did not have a price difference. Check out what is hot in the one design groups if you plan to race.

Karl Baden
fine arts department
Assistant Professor of the Practice
Devlin Hall 401D
Telephone: 617-552-4295
Email: email@example.com
Academic Profile
Karl Baden's photographs have been widely exhibited, including at the Robert Mann Gallery, Zabriskie Gallery, Marcuse Pfeifer Gallery, and Museum of Modern Art, New York City; the Howard Yezerski Gallery, Institute of Contemporary Art, DeCordova Museum, and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Musée Batut, France; Photokina, Cologne, Germany; and The Photographers Gallery, London. He has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Massachusetts Artists Foundation, the Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Kenan Foundation, and Light Work Visual Studies. His photographs and visual books are included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, NYC; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; The Addison Gallery of American Art; Polaroid International Collection; and the Guggenheim Museum Library. He has taught at Harvard University, Rhode Island School of Design, Clark University, and Phillips Academy at Andover; and has been on the faculty at Boston College since 1989.
Among other photographic projects, Baden has made a photograph of his face
every day since February 23rd, 1987. In 2000, he was the subject of a 26-year retrospective exhibition at Light Work Visual Studies. "How did I... Get Here?"; a 48-page catalogue, accompanies the exhibition.
Beginning in 2000, Baden began assembling a collection of non-photographic volumes (primarily fiction and poetry) that have important photographs or images by important photographers as cover illustrations. The purpose of this ongoing collection is to explore the relationship between book cover design and the history of photography, particularly regarding the photographic cover as metaphor for book content, and the influence of photographic history on popular culture. This collection has evolved into the award-winning website and database CoveringPhotography.com, hosted by Boston College, where anyone may access these covers via photographer, author, publisher, publication date, and designer. In the Fall of 2008 Baden curated the exhibition Covering Photography: Imitation, Influence… and Coincidence in the Rare Books Room of the Boston Public Library. This exhibition is currently on display in the Special Collections Library at Syracuse University.

I really want to see this thing completed. Good luck!
Uh...what's a Grunt Mandalorian?
aka cannon fodder / back ground mando
^^^ these mandos ^^^
Oh, I see now.
It wasn't a term I was familiar with for some reason.
Awesome...good to see some OS Mando's besides the main ones! (I'm guilty of a main one :facepalmlol) Also can't wait to see how it turns out. Best of luck!!
thank you sir.. figured not everyone can be a main character and the main guys need someone to command.. LoL..
lol yea! It's something I considered too, but I just can't resist the silver/red OS Jango. It's my weakness :lol. I would say let's troop together when you're done, if I didn't live in Illinois haha! If you're ever doing something with the Mando near Chicago let me know :D.
okay.. asking everyones opinion here.. should i go ahead and use the shoulder art from Boba or should I use the one from Jaster Mereel?
I'd say wait for the comics and then check to see if any of them have any skulls. If not (which is how it looks) then go sans skull. Accurate mandos are pretty cool
comics arrived.. noticed some generic shoulder art on a few of the mando's but nothing real definative..
This is a great idea. It would be so cool to have rank upon rank of 'grunt' mandos
I have loved the middle mando's (without the pack) back armor. I love the scale look to it. If they all didn't look so much like Fett, or Kast for that matter, I think I'd paint one of my sets as it. :)
Keep up the good work man, can't wait to see it finished! :love
and thank you both for the words of encouragement..
Very true, all I'd need to do is cut out an addition set of shoulder bells, mabey knees, and a chest plate for a variant logo. It looks like the scale backarmor one we like only has a soft parts girth belt on, with a big ammo pouch. It sorta looks like its made from material. If anything, I could cut my wait size out in sintra, and put material over it for a belt, so I could hang the large pouches on it. I don't think a velcroed cloth belt would hold that large of pouch up.
And the best part about it? Not having a jet pack is canon! :lol
That pouch realy sorta looks like a pouch for paintball pods, or the size of it. I actualy have a spair pack that I could cut in half and have two sets of two pouches that would work.
I was thinking of doing a "sash" around the waist and having a leather belt to hold the ammo pouches and holsters..
looks cool so far
you know what they say.. great minds think alike..
would love to get this mando variant 501st approved.. but not sure how the gml's are gonna react..
Or either that we escaped from the same Asylum. :lol:p:)
I would think after a little bit of talking it could be approved. There where multiple mando grunts in the comic, and it was an official Dark Horse SW comic. Between the Jedi Vs. Mando battle there where plenty of angles for refrencing them. I think you need at least 3 angles if I remember correctly. Or something like that. Mabey I made that up. :lol I don't know off hand, do they have a list now of accepted characters? Something like that. :lol
Jodo.. I contacted the LMO for the 501st and was told
so.. long road ahead and alot of waiting and hopingQuote:
The current standard of practice is for a new character to have three separate Lucasfilm licensed produced/released visual sources that depict the character in the exact same manner visually.
helmet next to mini grunt..

Welcome to the forum.
Walther P22 is a nice little gun.
Sold mine to my brother to he could teach his ex to shoot.
She lives in a bad area and one of the boy still lives at home. So she is learning.
Dont know much about them except that they like hot loads. Bulk ammo tends to jam up in the P22 he has.
Works fine in all my rifles put both the P22 and my Browning BuckMark have issues with the bulk.
Have fun and shoot safe.
