I would like to ask if there are some possibilities for speeding up Ubuntu a little. For example I do not need windows content to be visible while moving them, nor I need animations when launching the animations etc.
Thanks guys. I actually changed to ubuntu 2d and turned off everything there was to be found in bunch of tutorials. I was just wondering if it was possible to find some kind of options like that which are available for ex in windows: fit for best performance.
As for my graphics card I have ATI Radeon X2100 (integrated with mainboard). lspci | grep VGA writes that my card is found and compatibile. I have installed open source drivers, so I assume my card works, however when checking system properties it says that graphics card is undefined. So does it work or not? How to check it?

copyright, Dimitri Daniloff.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall of Dimitri Daniloff's imagination. His volume of work goes from cool to shocking to what the #$@*? It's highly stylized, highly conceptual and usually with quite a bit of compositing and post work. Which makes sense since his college schooling consisted of mathematics and science, instead of photography and art.
This image entitled "Rebirth" for Sony's launch of its PS2 game station won lots of critical acclaim, as well as the Cannes Grand Prix for Advertising. I'm going out on a limb and guessing the man's head and shoulders were not shot in-camera. The lighting is achieved with a mixture of HMI and strobe lighting that Einstein, himself, would be proud of. If Einstein were in to photography. Dimitri used six lights in total.
Camera: Medium format, digital, with 80mm lens set on a tripod 8 feet back. Shot at 1/125, f16, ISO 100.
Lighting: The key light is a 6K HMI fresnel shot through a 6×6 silk at f16. The light is positioned high and 10 feet to camera right. Let's suspend our disbelief for a moment and pretend the man's head could be where it is. A gridded, silver beauty dish at f22 (+1 stop) is high, just to camera right, and aimed down toward his newborn face, with a more specular feel than the rest of the lighting. Dimitri has a ring flash on his camera at f8 (-2 stops) for subtle fill and a nice layering of light. Another 6K HMI fresnel shot through a 6×6 silk at f18 (+ 1/2 stop) is set 12 feet to camera left and slightly behind the mother. This gives her just a touch of rim/high light on her arm and neck. Two standard reflectors in white umbrellas at f22( +1 stop) are aimed at the background, blowing it out just a touch.
Comments: Coincidentally, the "mother" model's sister was actually giving birth to a baby-sized boy at the exact moment Dimitri was shooting. The sister's husband was stationed overseas, so she was alone in the delivery room. The third assistant rigged a cell phone (set to speaker) to an autopole and dangled it just out of frame. The model was able to yell "push, Chloe, push" as the entire set was privy to some of the most unbelievable cussing imaginable. A trucker, delivering supplies to the studio, hadn't even heard a few of those peaches, before.

Rare Spinal Surgery Cuts Chronic Pain for Wounded Marine
(BETHESDA, Md.) -- Mark Burleson awoke to unimaginable pain a month after the bomb he had been disarming detonated in his hands.
"My injuries were extensive, to say the least," said the 31-year-old Marine staff sergeant, who had severe burns, shattered bones and a brain injury from the December 2011 blast in Afghanistan's Helmand province.
Burleson's right arm was gone below the elbow; his left arm spared but paralyzed.
"All the nerves were ripped from my spinal cord at the root," he said, describing the damage that drove waves of pain down the otherwise senseless and limp limb. "It felt like someone was lighting my arm on fire with a cutting torch. And, occasionally, they'd stop and tie anchors to the ends of my fingers to rip out the bones."
Powerful drugs were no match for Burleson's constant agony. And despite coming home from a war zone, the married father of three felt world's away.
"It was to the point where the kids would just walk past him because they know he couldn't bear to interact with them," said Burleson's wife, Sara. "He became like a ghost."
Willing to try anything for relief, Burleson was quick to sign up for risky surgery to slice open his spine and singe the offending nerves.
"The pain was ripping our lives apart," the Camp Lejeune, N.C.-based Marine said. "This was our last-ditch effort at having a normal life."
On July 26, Burleson left Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., for Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, where neurosurgeon Dr. Allan Belzberg agreed to try the high-stakes, high-risk surgery.
"It's a dangerous operation, so we only use it when we've exhausted all other options," said Belzberg, who performs the procedure three or four times a year.
Using a microscope and a tiny electrode, Belzberg made 140 burns in the damaged nerves dangling from Burleson's spinal cord; nerves intermixed with healthy connections to his lower limbs.
"If you get it just right, you get rid of the pain," Belzberg said of the stressful six-hour procedure. "If you're the slightest bit off, you paralyze his leg."
But the surgery went smoothly. And one week later, Burleson is a new man, although he expects to be at Walter Reed for at least a year.
"It was like instant clarity," Burleson said.
Sara Burleson, who spoke to her husband by phone before he returned to Walter Reed on Tuesday, said, "I could tell even before I saw him that it had worked. His voice sounded lighter. Even though he was groggy from the surgery, this huge weight had been lifted."

Long before FBI raid, Sen. Menendez tried to help donor's Dominican Republic business
Sen. Bob Menendez used his influence to advocate for a Dominican Republic business deal that helped a longtime friend and donor whose South Florida office was raided by federal agents this week.
Menendez questioned Obama administration officials at a July hearing about what it was doing to help U.S. businesses that he felt were being unfairly treated by the government of the Dominican Republic and other Latin American countries.
One company Menendez was apparently referring to: ICSSI, acquired the year before by Dr. Salomon Melgen, a Palm Beach County eye doctor and friend. The firm was seeking to enforce a contract it had won to X-ray Dominican Republic port cargo, that could be worth $500 million to $1 billion over two decades.
"You have another company that has American investors that ... has a contract actually given to it by the — ratified by the Dominican Congress — to do X-ray of all of the cargo that goes through the ports," Menendez, a Democrat from New Jersey, said at the July 31 hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere. "And they don't want to live by that contract either."
Menendez didn't mention ICSSI by name in talking to Francisco J. Sánchez, the Commerce Department's undersecretary for international trade and Matthew Rooney, the deputy assistant secretary in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs for the State Department.
Menendez's office said the senator did nothing improper. Senators, especially on the Foreign Relations Committee that Menendez will soon chair, frequently advocate for U.S. business abroad.
In addition to trade, the senator's office said he was concerned about fighting drugs.
"Senator Menendez has over the last few years advocated for more attention to the spread of narco-trafficking throughout Central America and the Caribbean," chief of staff Danny O'Brien said. "It is an issue of protecting our national security, and these drugs end up on our streets and in our communities, fueling crime and addiction."
Still, Menendez's close ties to Melgen have been under a white-hot spotlight ever since federal agents raided the eye doctor's West Palm Beach office on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The raid included agents from the FBI and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which are investigating the doctor for alleged Medicare fraud.
At the same time, the FBI is conducting a separate corruption probe of the doctor and his relationship with Menendez, including trips they took to the Dominican Republic.
The FBI began examining the two last year after the group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington forwarded a batch of emails from a shadowy tipster who claimed Menendez and Melgen had hired underage prostitutes at the ophthalmologist's Dominican home — charges both deny.
An FBI agent tried, but failed to meet with the tipster, who refused to even phone the agent.
As the conservative press began circulating the reports about the two, the New Jersey Republican Party filed a complaint against Menendez for flying on Melgen's private plane to the Dominican Republic but failing to disclose the gifts.
Menendez's office checked his schedule and realized the senator had flown twice on Melgen's plane without paying for it in 2010. On Jan. 4, Menendez cut a check for $58,500 — the air-charter rate for the pricey flights —to fully settle the matter.
Menendez's chief of staff, Danny O'Brien, said the senator maintains his innocence and has taken responsibility for his error in failing to pay for his charter flights with Melgen, a longtime friend.
"The Senator realized it was an oversight, that it was sloppy,'' O'Brien said. "It was junior varsity at best.''
By reimbursing Melgen for the flights, Menendez effectively undercut a standing ethics complaint and the possibility he'd face something more serious: a possible federal charge.
"It's technically a federal crime to not report gifts on a federal financial-disclosure form," said Melanie Sloan, executive director of CREW.
The flights, however, would no longer be considered a gift because Menendez just paid for them. And it doesn't matter that he took the then-freebie flights more than two years ago, in 2010.
Menendez would have been required to disclose the flights on his federal financial disclosure forms if the trips were considered gifts that he didn't pay for.
Menendez's office said the senator could have claimed the flights as gifts, however, because Melgen is a longtime friend and would qualify under a type of friendship exemption concerning gifts to sitting members of Congress.
Melgen's a big supporter of the senator, too.
Melgen and his family contributed $33,700 to Menendez, and another $60,400 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which Menendez chaired from 2009 to 2011, when he took the trips.
About that time, Melgen used a West Palm Beach-based company to buy a 50 percent share in ICSSI.
For more than a decade, the company had held a port-security contract in the Dominican Republic. But it had never gone into effect because of protests from a former Customs agency director who said the deal unfairly benefited the company.
Meanwhile, the country's business community also complained that the contract would increase fees and hurt trade.
Last month, the president of country's shipping association told Hoy newspaper that the industry couldn't afford to pay additional fees to X-ray cargo.
"The problem here is that we're looking at a contract that looks unfair because it was signed several administrations ago and that it essentially creates a monopoly in all the ports,'' said association president Teddy Heinsen.
But Melgen's supporters in the Dominican Republic charge that opposition to the deal is also rooted in the drug trade. The more port security and the more X-rays, they say, the more authorities will be aided in combating drug trafficking.
Menendez, when he spoke at the July hearing in Washington, didn't sound more concerned about ICSSI than other companies. He mentioned a road builder by name that he thought was being unfairly treated. And he also brought up a dispute involving textiles.

Joe Six Pack is back! "Joe Six Pack," that lovely, dismissive term for working men (and women) has risen to the top of public speech with all the subtlety of a malt liquor belch.
Joe Six Pack is back!
"Joe Six Pack," that lovely, dismissive term for working men (and women) has risen to the top of public speech with all the subtlety of a malt liquor belch.
And why not? It's a strip club, all you can eat, dirty words on your T-shirt, pro wrestling, dollar store country now, ain't it? It's a land of beer-swilling, beer-smelling, beer-belching, beer-logo-hat-wearing, beer-commercial-fun-havin' dudes and dudettes country, ain't it? Subtlety is for losers.
Pop a cold one. Lift a frosty. Hell, if the only beer ya got is warm, crack one of those bad boys and spray your buddies with the foam.
Good times, bro. Good times.
If you're writing a speech, no doubt "Joe Six Pack" sounds like an awfully good way to describe people who (gasp) don't know a saucy little merlot from a can of motor oil.
Joe Six Pack, by the way, has a case of motor oil on the back seat of the 12-year-old pick-up truck he can't afford to replace because he can't get a good job and he can't get a car loan because the merlot-sippers who run the economy are sleazy, greedy bums.
What about Joe Six Pack who used to be Joe Draft Beer? He quit going to bars and drinking draft because he can't afford it because he hasn't had a raise in two years. You know him? I do.
What about Joe 12-pack? You know Joe 12-pack? Lost his job a year ago and he's starting to drink a little too much. He used to be Joe Six Pack, but a six-pack don't cut it when you're scared you'll never work again. His wife's scared, too. Scared he'll crawl into the 12-pack and never come out.
You know Jane One Beer? She's got three kids, no husband and two jobs. She pays her niece 10 bucks to baby-sit while she works her night job. She comes home and, after her sister leaves, she sits at the kitchen table, sipping a beer and counting $24 in tip money from her waitress job. She makes $9 an hour on her day job and she owes the gas company $300. You know her?
You know Joe 30-pack? He's not even looking for work anymore. He ran the same machine in the same corner of the same factory for 25 years and the factory closed two weeks after he turned 58. His wife's gone, but he's holding on tight to the 30-pack.
You know Joe Heroin? You know Joan Crystal Meth? You know Jack No-Hope?
You know Jack Sleeps Under The Overpass? Nice guy, but he acts crazy sometimes. You know Joanne the Hooker? No 30-pack for her, but plenty of track marks on her skinny arms.
Some of the Joes and Johns and Jacks and Janes and Joannes would have lost their way in any economy, but some wouldn't have. Some of them would have been alright if life had been just a little easier. Just a little. Some got through five or six life disasters and then tripped over the seventh and couldn't get up again.
Jack Sleeps Under the Overpass was wounded in Vietnam. Joanne the Hooker has a son in the 82nd Airborne. When Joe 30-pack had a job, he gave to the United Way. Jane One Beer wants nice things, she really does, but she's working two jobs and she's got three kids and almost nothing in her life is nice these days.
Joe Six Pack, my achin' back. The working class isn't a comedy skit being put on for the benefit of do-nothings with master's degrees.
In recent week, Joe the Plumber has joined Joe Six Pack as a stereotype brought to life by some speech writer who has no reason in hell to know any better.
A cardboard cutout of Joe the Plumber ain't the issue. Joe Laid-Off Factory Worker is the issue. Joan Coming Back From Iraq is the issue because she can't find a job. Spend a year in Iraq, come home and beg for part-time waitress work. Welcome home, Joanie! Have a beer!
We're not zoo animals. We're working people.
And you know something else?
Not all of our men are named "Joe."
In case you didn't know.

stricken_detective Outlook not so good. I expect pictures!!!
quijote Wow, Buddy, looks like a great line-up. It'll be hard to prioritize eats, as it all looks marvellous.
JRPfeff I am dying to go to the Chicago Cubs World Series Museum. It that much out of the way?
BuddyRoadhouse We do okay. Lots of out of towners have become Honorary Contingent Members over the years, either by joining in on tours or by association with members on smaller, private excursions. buffetbuster, Travelin Man, and wanderingjew have all broken bread with us here on our home turf. Carolina Bob has hung out with so many other Roadfooders, both here and on the road; I've lost track of all the names. Heck, this whole tour was arranged because AlyceinRoadfoodland is coming into town from Los Angeles to see the Heat lose to the Bulls Thursday night. She's sticking around for the weekend so we made a tour for her. All are welcome on Contingent Tours, so come on up to Chicago (or Milwaukee). If you can find us. Buddy


text: GIT-MERGE-BASE(1) Git Manual GIT-MERGE-BASE(1) NAME git-merge-base - Find as good common ancestors as possible for a merge SYNOPSIS git merge-base [-a|--all] <commit> <commit>... DESCRIPTION git merge-base finds best common ancestor(s) between two commits to use in a three-way merge. One common ancestor is better than another common ancestor if the latter is an ancestor of the former. A common ancestor that does not have any better common ancestor is a best common ancestor, i.e. a merge base. Note that there can be more than one merge base for a pair of commits. Among the two commits to compute the merge base from, one is specified by the first commit argument on the command line; the other commit is a (possibly hypothetical) commit that is a merge across all the remaining commits on the command line. As the most common special case, specifying only two commits on the command line means computing the merge base between the given two commits. As a consequence, the merge base is not necessarily contained in each of the commit arguments if more than two commits are specified. This is different from git-show-branch(1) when used with the --merge-base option. OPTIONS -a, --all Output all merge bases for the commits, instead of just one. DISCUSSION Given two commits A and B, git merge-base A B will output a commit which is reachable from both A and B through the parent relationship. For example, with this topology: o---o---o---B / ---o---1---o---o---o---A the merge base between A and B is 1. Given three commits A, B and C, git merge-base A B C will compute the merge base between A and a hypothetical commit M, which is a merge between B and C. For example, with this topology: o---o---o---o---C / / o---o---o---B / / ---2---1---o---o---o---A the result of git merge-base A B C is 1. This is because the equivalent topology with a merge commit M between B and C is: o---o---o---o---o / \ / o---o---o---o---M / / ---2---1---o---o---o---A and the result of git merge-base A M is 1. Commit 2 is also a common ancestor between A and M, but 1 is a better common ancestor, because 2 is an ancestor of 1. Hence, 2 is not a merge base. When the history involves criss-cross merges, there can be more than one best common ancestor for two commits. For example, with this topology: ---1---o---A \ / X / \ ---2---o---o---B both 1 and 2 are merge-bases of A and B. Neither one is better than the other (both are best merge bases). When the --all option is not given, it is unspecified which best one is output.

Time has finally caught up with World War II submarine veterans.
Submariners who served during the war suffered the proportionately highest casualty rate in the military, with 52 boats lost and nearly 3,600 of the 16,000 sailors assigned to them killed. Though they comprised less than 2 percent of the Navy's sailors, submariners are credited with sinking 55 percent of the Japanese vessels during the war.
They are also credited with holding the Japanese Navy at bay while U.S. shipyards built new destroyers, battleships, aircraft carriers and submarines after the attack at Pearl Harbor.
In 1955, the survivors created World War II Submarine Veterans, a congressionally chartered organization established to perpetuate the memory of their shipmates who died during the war.
But on Sept. 7, after the organization's national convention in Norfolk, Va., attracted only 62 veterans, they voted to disband.
The decision is having an impact closer to home. For nearly two decades, an annual World War II submarine veterans ceremony has been held at Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay to honor sailors who survived the war and commemorate those who died. At its peak in the mid-1990s, the ceremony attracted as many as 800 sub vets from as far as California.
But Friday will be the last official World War II submarine veterans ceremony at Kings Bay.
Keith Post, the civilian Navy League's Georgia area president, said only 31 World War II sub vets will attend the ceremony. Last year, 45 showed up.
Post, a Navy retiree and executive director of the St. Marys Submarine Museum, hosts events to occupy the veterans while they are in town for the ceremony. This week, the veterans toured a submarine at Kings Bay, attended dinners in their honor and met with active-duty sailors.
Post said the opportunity to host the veterans is the highlight of the year at the museum.
"You have a chance to mingle with history," he said. "This is the week of the year I look forward to the most."
The veterans also have an impact on the active-duty sailors at Kings Bay.
"They are more proud to wear their uniform this week," Post said.
Scott Bassett, a public affairs officer at Kings Bay, said an annual ceremony will continue to be held in coming years, but the new ceremony will honor submarine veterans from all eras.
Post said he hopes World War II veterans will continue to attend the new ceremony as long as they are able. He said he plans to enjoy their annual visits as long as they are capable of coming to the ceremony.
"They are proud of who they are and what they accomplished," he said. "It's a great time to listen to sea stories. The history that these men have and the stories they share, it's absolutely priceless."

Diebold wants to give you a sneak peek at its involvement at HIMSS. You may already know the global company for its ATM and security solutions; what you may not know is that it is applying its core competencies to advanced healthcare solutions, including an emerging self-service technology that enhances the patient experience through automation. Diebold's patient self-service kiosk will be a key feature in the Interoperability Showcase, for attendees to experience firsthand and discover how self service can deliver a better, more efficient workflow in a healthcare organization.
Attendees have the opportunity to use Diebold's self-service technology at the Interoperability Showcase™
NORTH CANTON, Ohio — Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) will display its self-service kiosk, PACE (patient automated care experience), during the Healthcare Information Management Systems Society's (HIMSS) conference and HIMSS12 Interoperability Showcase™, Feb. 21-23 in Las Vegas.
In conjunction with Diebold's self-service advancements, it has partnered with Health Information Today to reveal the latest findings about patients' sentiments towards patient information privacy and security in the healthcare arena. According to this survey, more than 30 percent of the healthcare organizations surveyed classified their organization's ability to comply with patient information privacy and security as "needs improvement, poor or failing."
"Our research has found that successful implementation of self-service technology can enhance the patient care experience and decrease the operating costs of the healthcare facility," said Mike Benol, vice president, business development, healthcare solutions, Diebold. "This is why we are educating healthcare organizations on how self service can complement traditional patient service technologies while increasing efficiency, protecting patient's privacy and allowing staff members to focus on high quality interactions with patients."
Diebold will display its PACE self-service registration kiosk in the Interoperability Showcase as part of the patient experience use case, allowing participants to see firsthand the ease of registering, obtaining insurance validation and collecting co-pays during check-in, prior to service. This efficient self-service process helps healthcare facilities reduce wait times and provides cost savings by expanding existing resources.
"As a leader in self-service technology, we understand the challenges of integrating new technologies," Benol said. "This is why we worked with healthcare professionals to develop our model and determine best practices for implementation and adoption, which will lead to greater patient satisfaction."
HIMSS Interoperability Showcase is held in collaboration with Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) and will be located at #11000 Hall G of the Venetian-Sands Expo Convention Center.
Diebold subject matter experts will be on hand at the Interoperability Showcase and at Diebold's booth, #455, to discuss PACE and the company's healthcare security and managed services offerings. All three PACE models will be featured in the booth, and healthcare security presentations will be given. Attendees can experience Diebold's palm-vein reader firsthand and view a demonstration showing what the healthcare facility clerk sees when a patient uses PACE.

Bollard lights are available in a massive choice of styles, finish and lamp options. You need to think about how the light will be used for example a small garden pathway, the main driveway or to illuminate steps etc. If you are within 20 km of the coast you should think about using the wooden bollards or marine grade 316 stainless steel. There are bollards that use GU10 LED lamps and in this case can be changed for a ECO friendly GU10 LED lamp. The spacing of the bollards will depend on the lamp output, louvre design, height etc but a general rule of thumb would be no less than 3 meters and no more than 12 meters apart. The shorter distance would be for garden pathways and the longer distance for long driveways.
The colour of a lamp is defined as a measurement called kelvins. A standard GLS light bulb in your house would be 2,700 kelvins
which is in the warm colour spectrum and a lamp with 6,000 kelvins would be at the very cold white spectrum. Getting
the right colour temperature of a lamp does matter as the warm colour wavelength helps to soften skin tones and gives
a warm soft relaxed feel and at the other end of the scale a 4,000 to 6,000 kelvin lamp colour would be used in
offices or at fast food restaurants to make you feel less comfortable and relaxed and feel more alert. There's nothing
that can sour your opinion of a LED lamp when buying a 4000K or 5000K bulb when you meant
to buy a 2700K bulb, or vice-versa. When you buy a new, energy efficient bulb, keep your application and colour scheme
in mind and make sure to buy the bulb with a colour temperature to match.
The amount of light that is produced by a lamp is called lumens and the more lumens the lamp has the brighter it will be. Lumens work in conjunction with kelvins and should not be taken in isolation of each other. For example if you had a very warm white lamp at 2,700 kelvins and it produced 300 lumens and you then had another lamp which was a cool white 6,000 kelvins which also produced 300 lumens the cooler lamp colour would always appear brighter to the naked eye than the warmer one this is due to the receptors in the eye that react better to a white light spectrum. Another factor on how bright a light may appear is contrast. So if you shine a white 6,000 kelvin light onto a dark wall and a warm 2,700 Kelvin lamp onto a white wall the warmer lamp would appear brighter due to the contrast of the material it is focused on. So when choosing a lamp always take into account the area you want to illuminate and think about Kelvins (colour ), Lumens ( brightness) and contrast (colour of area).
Choosing the style of a product is only part of the equation you must also think of where that product will be used and how it will be installed. All exterior lighting products on our web site have a IP rating which is explained further in our design ideas section but in simple terms the IP rating is appropriate to each light fitting and its intended application and is therefore fit for purpose. Water ingress is the enemy for outdoor lighting and the products supplied are only as good as the installation as the weakest point is always cable and transformer joints. All joint must be made 100% water tight and this can be done using heat shrink kits, waterproof junction boxes which are then filled with a resin mix. All joints where possible should be made above ground for easy access and reduced water ingress. When installing ground buried lights adequate drainage systems should be put in place especially in clay based soil areas. If possible use ground surface spike lights rather than a buried light. Mains 240v cable will have less joints than a low voltage installation but care must be taken with the cable runs.
All exterior lights must be installed by a certified NIC EIC electrician and should be signed off by an electrician with Part P certification. all cable joints must be 100% watertight. There are a selection of waterproof jointing kits and boxes available on this web site.
Care should be taken for the environment and local wildlife to maintain the ecological balance. Insects, bats and other types of wildlife can all be effected by light pollution. The warmer colour spectrum of 2,700 kelvins does not interfere with insects and general wildlife as much as the blue colour spectrum of light around 6,000 kelvins which can disrupt their normal night time activity. This also applies to bats where anti glare light fittings work better as well as reducing the overall light pollution in the area. You must also be mindful of your neighbours and the effect your lighting can have on them. Try to keep the light in a downward position and local to the items you want to illuminate and even if you want to illuminate tall trees it can be done in a sympathetic way by placing a ground buried or surface spike flood light directly under the trees to illuminate the canopy.

Great news! The most obnoxiously self-indulgent team in college football wants to join forces with the most obnoxiously self-indulgent team in baseball. Yes, folks: Notre Dame wants to play football in shiny new Yankee Stadium.
Pete Thamel of the New York Times got the scoop.
Jack Swarbrick, Notre Dame's athletic director, said the Yankees were open to having college football at the new Stadium, and he would like the Fighting Irish to be the first team to play there. Swarbrick stressed that no dates had been discussed.
"We've been in contact with Yankee Stadium and asked and inquired," Swarbrick said. "We will be discussing games with them, but we haven't entered into any substantive discussions."
The guy goes on to yammer incontinently about the "great historical significance" of a mediocre college football program playing tackle football in a brand new, boondoggling slot machine of a ballpark — excuse me, stadium. I'll grant him that such an event would be "historically significant," but only to the extent that it would very likely create a vast sucking vortex of televised insufferability such as the world has never known. At least, not since the last time Michael Kay called a baseball game.

3 tablespoons dried chives
1 tablespoon dried parsley
4 packets (4 grams each) jambon seasoning (Goya brand recommended)
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Jambon seasoning is ham flavor seasoning. Check the Spanish section of your supermarket.
Pick over the beans to remove any pebbles or other un-beanlike objects.
Thoroughly combine the beans and potato buds in a medium bowl or on wax paper. Divide equally in half. Put in two plastic bags or directly into a gift container.
Thoroughly combine the onion, celery, chives, and parsley in a small bowl or on wax paper, tossing well to distribute the ingredients. Divide in half and place one-half in each packet of the bean mix.
Thoroughly combine the jambon seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl or on wax paper. Divide in half. Add one-half to each half of the bean mixture.

Sir Gerard Salveyn (d. 1320), was an English judge, son of Robert Salveyn of North Driffield, Yorkshire. "The family claimed descent from Joce le Flemangh, who came over with the Conqueror and settled at Cukeney, Nottinghamshire, and whose grandson Ralph obtained the surname Le Silvan from his manor of Woodhouse." [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Smith, George (ed), Dictionary of National Biography. London: Smith, Elder & Co., 1885-1900. Print
Another source notes, "Sir Osbert Silvayne, Knight of Norton Woodhouse, in the Forest of Sherwood, living in the 29th of Henry III" [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Shirley, Evelyn Philip, The Noble and Gentle Men of England; The Arms and Descents. Westminster: John Bower Nichols and Sons, 1866, Print. is also claimed to be the progenitor of the family. The latter reference acknowledges the incongruity by noting that "some of the name ... were seated at Norton before the year 1140." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Shirley, Evelyn Philip, The Noble and Gentle Men of England; The Arms and Descents. Westminster: John Bower Nichols and Sons, 1866, Print. So, we must leave the true progenitor in question.
Thorpe-Salvin in the West Riding of Yorkshire was home to a branch of the family. "This place is situated at the junction of the counties of York, Derby, and Nottingham. It was anciently the property of the Salvin family, and subsequently of the Sandfords." [3]CITATION[CLOSE]
