If you have a poweful OpenCL GPU available in a system, it is a good idea to understand its capabilities. You can do so by running algorithms in their CPU and GPU versions, and comparing the results. You might be surprised with the processing power that most modern software is wasting when it runs on a computer with an OpenCL GPU.
A few months ago, I wrote an article about an interesting utility called GPU Caps Viewer v1.8.6 which returns detailed information about the graphics cards and the GPU (short for "Graphics Processing Units") installed in a computer.
If GPU Caps Viewer lists your GPU as one of the CL devices, it is interesting to compare the results of running a few OpenCL demos in their CPU and GPU versions. The CPU version creates many threads that take advantage of the multiple cores, and therefore tries to take advantage of multicore microprocessors. The GPU version uses the multiple compute units offered by the OpenCL GPU and tries to minimize the CPU usage. Both tests produce the same real-time visual output with different frame rates according to their diverse capabilities.
The results will depend on your CPU and the OpenCL GPU. However, here I present some interesting results that will let you see the power that most modern software is wasting on high-end laptops. In this case, I am not going to consider power consumption but you must take into account that it is another important variable to watch when running these tests.
First, I ran the CL CPU-Mesh Deformer OpenCL demo. You just have to select it in the dropdown list located below OpenGL and OpenCL demos in GPU Caps Viewer, then click on the Start button. This demo shows a surface deformed by an OpenCL kernel running on the CPU, and then rendered through OpenGL. A dialog box lets you set the desired width and height for the window size that will render the animated surface and a dropdown list to specify the desired MSAA (short for "MultiSample Anti-Aliasing"). I left the default values for the window size, 600 for both width and height, but I selected 8X in MSAA. Once you have selected the desired values for the parameters, you just have to click Go!.
The demo is capable of generating 29 or 30 FPS ("Frames Per Second") most of the time. The average CPU usage is 40%.
Then I ran the CL GPU-Mesh Deformer OpenCL demo. Again, you just have to select its name in the dropdown list located at the right below OpenGL and OpenCL demos in GPU Caps Viewer and then click on the Start | button. This demo shows the same surface deformed by an OpenCL kernel running on the GPU instead of the CPU. The rendering process is performed by OpenGL as in the previous execution. It is necessary to choose the same values selected for the CL CPU-Mesh Deformer OpenCL demo. And then again, you just click Go!.
The demo is capable of generating 40 or 41 FPS most of the time. The average CPU usage is 7%. There is more code running on the GPU.
The demo generates the same results with a difference in the sustained FPS rate. When the demo runs the OpenCL kernel on the GPU, it leaves a lot of CPU power free, because it is deforming the surface by running general-purpose code in the GPU. This demo is an excellent example of the new possibilities offered by OpenCL.

Chicago's Township High School District 214 voted unanimously last week to drop the National School Lunch Program because they would be forced to stop serving pizza and fries.
The meals, though unhealthy, seem to be big money-makers for the schools.
The school board is afraid that their banishment would cause a loss of revenue as students would go to nearby fast food joints to buy their lunch instead.
"What we saw based on those menus is that students simply will not choose the food," said Cathy Johnson, the district's associate superintendent, according to ABC Chicago.
The USDA's Smart Snacks in Schools offers $900,000 in federal subsidies if the school serves meals that are comprised mainly of "whole grain-rich" products, fruits/vegetables, or protein/dairy products. Additionally, entrees can only have 350 calories with set fat, sodium and sugar limits.
The Chicago Tribune reports that the school district will come up with its own healthy lunch menu options by working with a nutritionist.

One of the major problems faced by home buyers nowadays is the skyrocketing prices of homes. While affordability seems to be a problem specific to the buyers, it sure affects the developers as well. The demand for high-priced residential units is limited to high net worth individuals, but they constitute only a fraction of the client base. A larger percentage is that of the middle income buyers who are looking for something better in rather affordable prices.
To suit the affordability of buyers, builders tend to reduce the sizes of apartments. They tend to compromise on the size of their product than the quality of it. As it is becoming difficult for buyers to buy expensive homes, it is also hard for the builders to sell such projects. So they have found a way out. This concept of selling smaller units is more or less inspired by the 'Sachet Marketing Strategy' of the FMCG industry. Builders are making smaller sized apartments without reducing the price per square feet, which ultimately makes the apartments affordable for the home buyers. [Read more…]

How Impressive Is This for Independent Baseball? Two Stars Earn Top Pitcher Awards in Winter Leagues
January 24, 2013 by Bob Wirz · Leave a Comment
It seems amazing—and likely a first—that Independent Baseball veterans earned Pitcher of the Year honors in two of the four major winter leagues, which are bearing down on starting the Caribbean World Series.
Dwayne Pollok, who spent two years in the American Association (Fort Worth, TX) and last summer with Lancaster, PA (Atlantic League) earned the honor in Venezuela and well-traveled Ricardo Gomez in Puerto Rico.
While both are in their 30s and may not be prime affiliated candidates, they turn in impressive records wherever they play. Pollok followed up his 14-4, 2.30 '12 season at Lancaster by going 7-2, 2.36 for Zulia during the regular winter league season. Gomez saved 17 games (4-1, 2.66) in 46 appearances in the Atlantic League (York, PA) and picked up saves in all 14 of his chances for Santurce with a sparkling 1.02 earned run average. He also has pitched for Lancaster and Long Island, NY in the Atlantic League and for Charlotte (FL) County in what was the South Coast League.
Another Atlantic League vet, Nick Ortiz was named Comeback Player of the Year in Puerto Rico. He has played for Long Island, Bridgeport, CT and Somerset, NJ as well as the Road Warriors in various Atlantic League stints.
Switch-hitting American Association All-Star outfielder Chris Roberson, a .317 hitter for Winnipeg last season, boosted Aguilas's chances of winning the Mexican League championship by doubling twice, driving in three runs and scoring another out of the leadoff spot in the decisive game of a semifinal series.

Incentive Aplenty at the Pay Window
If any Independent player needs a little boost during winter workouts this may do it.
Jerome Williams, who was pitching in the Atlantic League (Lancaster, PA) as recently as two years ago, just re-signed with the Los Angeles Angels, where he likely will be a long reliever and spot starter this season, for $2 million. Also, onetime New Jersey Jackals reliever Craig Breslow inked a new two-year deal with Boston for $6.25 million and former Schaumburg, IL hurler Brad Ziegler will get $3.15 million for his 2013 relief work with Arizona.
Rookie Stars Eager to Move UP
Should anyone doubt there are plenty of talented players still looking for their opportunity, I can share what I saw firsthand at what is known the annual Mike DeAngelo Showcase in Port Chester, NY this week.
Among about 25 specially-invited players, mostly recent collegians or those with limited professional experience, were two who won Rookie of the Year honors in Independent leagues last season. Tucker Nathans earned the honor in the Can-Am League after playing the final two-thirds of the year at second and third base for the Newark (NJ) Bears. He was released from an earlier stint with Florence, KY of the Frontier League. Marc Micowski made his mark in the Northern Division of the North American League while playing the outfield for the road team, the Sonoma (CA) County Grapes.
The left-handed hitters got an opportunity to impress the half-dozen scouts on hand, and leave no doubt theybelieve they can advance in the game, perhaps because of their bats, from humble, non-draft starts. "Give me one day, I'll earn a second, then another," said Nathans, 24, who played four years at Fairfield University after getting a confidence boost that he could play in the pros from traveling around and sometimes getting to work out while his brother John, nearly 10 years older, worked his way up to Class AA in the Boston farm system. "He played the game the right way," Tucker praised, remembering some of John's teammates such as Kevin Youkilis, Manny Del Carmen and Hanley Ramirez who went on to major league careers.
"I need to have that one person have faith in me," said Nathans, who hit .307 in 199 at-bats for Newark. "I'll keep working until I get that opportunity."
Micowski is scheduled to play with the Frontier Grays, the travel team in the Frontier League, who signed him on the recommendation of onetime major leaguer Albie Lopez, the pitching coach at Sonoma. "The ability to make contact", was the 6-foot-2 Micowski's response, when asked about his No. 1 strength, a fact backed up by his .410 on-base percentage and only 25 strikeouts in 182 at-bats in his rookie year. He hit .317.

Kharar is the centerpiece of Mohali district. Mohali is touted to become the next IT hub of North India. So Kharar, being placed virtually in the backyard of Mohali, will serve as a perfect habitat to the denizens of the IT hub, firstly because of its location, and secondly, because of the affordable housing it provides. Its proximity to Chandigarh has an added advantage. It is because of this influx and easier approach-ability to the tricity that Kharar has become a hotspot with real estate developers and buyers.
- Sunny Enclave is a 400 acre construction venture in region
Sunny enclave is the best locality and so much close to Chandigarh. If you have property here it will appreciate in future.
- Good locality
- Very good appreciation
- Good approach to city

I have a raid 10 array with 10 7200 SATA rpm disks. My disk queue length during business hours is averaging around 100. The following is true of the setup:
- The array has one mail Store with 95 active mailboxes. (This is the only thing, no logs or system files)
- Avg Mailbox size of ~ 400 MegaBytes
- The array is one large 1.3 TB partition that was aligned to the raid stripe
- The Mail store is ~ 48 GB ( for both etm and stm files )
- The mail store was just defragged
- The transaction logs are on another array that has a less than 1 avg disk queue
Does this seem high? If so, does anything seem wrong with this setup? Should I look at some other counters?
Updates after comments:
- The array itself seems okay, just the other weeks it got good results from several days of jetstress testing
- There is no pagefile on the array :-)
- There is symantec AV software. The Highest two of IO Reads and IO Writes from looking at Task Manager are conduit.exe ( symantec anti spam / virus ) and store.exe. conduit is at 18 million reads and 25 million writes, store is 144 million reads and 9 million writes. As of now, since I have gateway servers, so I am looking into taking AV off of the backend server.

23-year-old hit back of truck on his motorcycle
A St. Augustine man died on U.S. 1 heading southbound after his motorcycle hit the back of a truck and drove into a line of trees, ejecting him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The crash happened just before 1 p.m. Tuesday just north of the Northeast Florida Regional Airport, near Gun Club Road.
The victim was Zacharie Gerardus VanEkeris, 23, of St. Augustine, according to a Florida Highway Patrol release.
VanEkeris graduated from First Coast Technical College's GED program in 2009, a college official said.
VanEkeris grew up in St. Augustine and had been living with his family in the downtown St. Augustine area for more than a year, said Paul Linser, who works with VanEkeris' mother at Whitney Laboratory.
"He was a very nice kid," Linser said. "Very dedicated to family."
He worked with children at two day care centers, one in Palencia, Linser said.
The motorcycle was a recent addition to his life.
"He's had it probably 6 months," Linser said.
Someone was driving a box truck southbound on U.S. 1 in the right lane in front of VanEkeris, who was driving a yellow Suzuki motorcycle "at a high rate of speed," according to the release.
As the truck driver was driving south on U.S. 1, he saw someone kneeling or sitting on the shoulder of the road, so he changed lanes to put distance between the truck and the pedestrian, Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt. Dylan Bryan said.
The truck was in the left lane. As it moved into the right lane, VanEkeris crashed into the back of the box truck, drove on the grass shoulder and into the tree line, according to the release. He was ejected from his motorcycle.
St. Johns County Fire Rescue paramedics treated him but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
No other injuries were reported.
VanEkeris was wearing a helmet.
A witness told troopers that VanEkeris passed him prior to the crash as he left International Golf Parkway and went south on U.S. 1., said Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt. Dylan Bryan.
"He stated that…the motorcycle was traveling at an extreme rate of speed," Bryan said.
The crash is under investigation.

Google Launches Updated Street View Web Site
Google has launched a refresh of its Street View Web site, with updates on the cities in which Street View is available as well as background on the evolution of the service.
"We've ... found that it has been one of the features that folks are most curious about, so we have given our Street View overview site a refresh that puts everything you wanted to know about Street View in one place," Julie Zhou, associate product marketing manager for Google, wrote in a blog post.
The site includes a map that shows where Street View is available, including the United States, Canada, several countries in the European Union, Australia, and Japan. The map also provides updates on where Street View vehicles are currently working, which now includes Germany, Canada, and Switzerland.
Google also provided some insight on its collection processes. Recently, for example, Google added a vehicle to its fleet known as the "Trike" -- "a three-wheeled tricycle in a device reminiscent of an ice cream cart [that] lets us reach areas not accessible by car, such as hiking trails, biking trails and college campuses, just to name a few," Zhou wrote.
The site also includes a Street View tutorial and links to recent posts on the Google Lat Long blog.

Mars Iwai Tradition
Review by Nonjatta contributor - Dramtastic:
Mars Iwai Tradition. 40 per cent alcohol.
Nose: Thick Manuka honey. Soft oak, sweet orange peel, dry sherry and toffee.
Palate: Sweet, oily moth feel. Manuka honey, raisins, all spice, dry sherry, toffee and a little smoke
Finish: Short, bitter-sweet with loads of honey.
General comment: Would be a great session whisky or everday drinker if it wasn't so rare.
1 comment:
- Niels Viveen said...
According to the distillery manager, Iwai Tradition picked up a silver medal at the ISC this year.
Mars is producing more of it and it should be more available now.

Stockton, CA
Winifred M. Braxton
July 16, 1922 - February 11, 2013
After a brave battle against cancer, Winnie passed away peacefully in her Stockton home. The
fourth of seven born to the late Theresa and
Thomas DeWitt McClennan, she is survived by her two brothers Joe Oliver McClennan and Walter D. McClennan, and his wife Flowers McClennan. Winnie also leaves behind her nephews Tom B.

Reel, Cynthia Garrett-Harris, Valerie Garrett-Grier, and Jessie Louise McClennan.
Winnie was born and raised in Carthage, Texas. After a year at Samuel Huston College in Austin, Texas, Winnie moved to California in 1944. She settled in Stockton, where she met and married Elra Braxton, with whom she enjoyed a loving marriage until his passing in 1988.
Winnie was very active in church, where, for many years, she played piano for the choir, church services, and special events there. Well known for her stylish wardrobe, she was also an accomplished cook, particularly noted for her
delicious pies and dinner rolls.
Winnie's family invites all friends to join them in remembering her.

Firefox(well, Gecko) + Emacs = Conkeror.
Emacs in JavaScript is another way of putting it. Text editing is still not up to par with real Emacs, sadly. It's pretty close, though.
What I find neat is (with a bit of hacking to the extension's package) you can use either Firefox extensions or write your own in JavaScript.
I'm really amazed at how much faster everything I do on the web is done in Conkeror as compared to Firefox.
I stopped used an RSS reader because I can visit a blog I want to read with a keychord. All bookmarks are accessable with an ido-like completion functionality. Same with most search functions.
Many major-modes (for different sites) are built-in.
I wouldn't be using Emacs were it not for Conkeror.

Has anyone tried the new Rain-X wiper blades?
jeffyscott Posts: 3,855I had Bosch Icons on for over 2 years, replaced when performance had deteriorated, not due to any problems with the construction of the blade. I bought some similar Trico Neoform blades last fall, because they had a discount and rebate going at the time, these also seem to be well constructed like the Icons.0
vanman21 Posts: 1I purchased a set in Mar 09. On a rainy trip in Dec 09, they created so much vibration with their "scraping" that it shook my interior rear view mirror. They aren't effective in the middle of the blade and they are noisy.... I love them---not0
papoppy Posts: 1They seemed OK in warmer weather but I'm very disappointed with them this winter. Total junk in my opinion.
I'm going back to the triple edge wiper with silicon rubber. Best I've found so far.0
doneil Posts: 11I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who considers these to be junk. I bought 3 sets 11 month's ago to replace the blades on all 3 of my cars. I've had 2 failures out of the 3. The plastic mounting bracket that attaches the blade to the arm is weak. It's merely snapped into place and breaks free after a period of time. My receipt shows only a 90 day defect replacement, so I guess I'm SOL. Is anyone aware of a recall?0
Wouldn't hurt to contact them and complain.
I guess you could consider breakage a safety issue; be curious to see if the NHTSA has any complaints.0
At least once a month, take a rag with alcohol and clean the blades. They collect major gunk and work much better for much longer. If you park the car outside, do it every 2 weeks.0
Doesn't seem like that would help keep the mounting brackets from breaking though?0
isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 20,225If Rain-X blades are anything like Rain-X itself, I sure wouldn't use them.
OEM blades are the only way to go. I change mine twice a year.0
I have a Bosch blade on my car from 2008 - seems to be in new condition. It's the modern kind that just lays flat. I do keep it cleaned, car is garaged, and I don't do a huge mileage.
I'll admit I like Rain-X...fun to drive down the road with the rain blowing off the windshield.0
No mounting brackets on my blades. Just a central one point snap attachment onto the arm. In my youth, I don't ever remember changing blades. Never cleaned my headlights until my first year in Chicago when it dawned on me that removing the dried salt and dirt might help with visibility driving out to DeKalb in winter. Night classes at NIU in the early 70's.0
Yeah, since I moved back to snow country, I carry some washer fluid in a squirt bottle and an old rag in the car. Doesn't take long to dim the lights around here driving on the slush.0
Maybe we need a upscale ride that has the headlight cleaners. Then you'd have another set of blades/brushes to change out as needed. I like to keep busy anyway. Could start a new discussion.0
lol, a discussion on "how to keep busy" - that could work. :-) When I look at some of the maintenance recommendations, there's something you could do just about every day.
Around here it's hard to avoid driving in sloppy conditions, so I wind up cleaning the windows anyway with the spritzer when I do the headlights. I never had much luck with Rain-X but maybe I'd notice a difference now that I'm in a place where it rains and snows more. Could put some on the headlights too.0

Well gee, get a spare.0
odie6l Hershey, PaPosts: 1,173I actually picked up a pair of Goodyear Blades for "The Beast" that are basically the same are the Rain-X one from Costco. Paid $10 for the set after an instant rebate and coupon. So far, they are pretty sweet.
Just when I think this discussion has died, it reappears and draws me back in. Heading to Autozone to spend some time in the wiper aisle. CCWBA ?0
I don't remember ever replacing blades when I lived in Boise for a decade. The sun and heat really wiped them out, but it never rained, so....
I already need new blades after 5 months here in the UP. But just on the rear glass on both my rigs; the new front blades I picked up in Billings on the drive over last September are still ok.0
Like I said--never remember changing my blades in my youth. I think as testosterone levels diminish, our attention can drift to stuff like windshield visibility instead of you know what. :shades:0
barefeet Posts: 1I finally got regular blades back on my car this morning & I am so happy I did. I will NEVER, EVER buy Rain X Blades again & I think it is ashame that they are still on the market!
Several months ago I decided to spring for these Rain X blades I've heard advertised. I was so disappointed! They missed about a third of the window with their sweep. I tried to see if I could adjust the pressure on the wiper arms so I'd get a good clean sweep, but the wiper arms are not adjustable that way-I don't think on ANY car. You shouldn't HAVE to adjust the pressure. Today, I decided I had enough & got a regular type of blade & everything is fine now. I only had the Rain X blades for a couple months, so I just waisted way more money than if I had just gotten regular blades to start with. :mad: :lemon:
I think Rain X cost more because they are trying to cash in while they can, before their reputation puts them out of business!0
WWSumm Avondale, ArizonaPosts: 1Rain X wiper blades are the cheapest junk I have ever seen. They are not worth the money. They are difficult to install, and really do not last longer than anything else. Save your money!0

The governor's office issued the following information regarding today's snow:
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy directed Executive Branch agency heads to release their employees early in stages this afternoon in order to better manage the evening commute given the inclement conditions. Dismissals were to begin at 3 p.m. and continue in 15 minute intervals. Agency heads were contacted directly with instructions on when to release their employees. Releases are also being staggered within facilities so as to mitigate traffic issues in parking areas. These releases are being coordinated with other large employers in the Hartford region.
"Given the impending snow and the severe cold, I've asked all executive agencies to enact their early dismissal plans," Malloy said, according to the press release. "Private sector companies may want to consider similar plans, so that we are not bogged down during the usual evening rush, right when the snow is forecasted to pick up."
Department of Administrative Services Commissioner Donald DeFronzo said, according to the release,"The Governor's directive underscores the need to keep highway traffic to a minimum later this evening as the storm intensifies in order to better provide for public safety."
For information concerning the Friday, Jan. 3 work day, state employees are advised to monitor local media as well as the website of the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, where they can find the page with the Notification of Early Release/Late Opening for State Offices.
The dismissal schedule is as follows:
- 3:00 p.m. – DECD, DOE, DSS, MHA, CHRO, OPM, DOC, Housing
- 3:15 p.m. – DCF, Agriculture, DRS, DCP, DEEP, DOL, Protection/Advocacy, Aging
- 3:30 p.m. – All others

And we have a WINNER! The winning entry for the Sew Searching plush design activity is NEILSON! Congrats! I'll be working on your plushie next week, it'll be on its way to you soon! I like Neilson's design because it's so unlike what I usually do and I love that he turned the template upside down.
That said, there were actually LOTS of fantastic entries, some I would never be able to do justice to. They are all such great pieces of art, I'll be keeping all of them. THANK YOU everyone who took the time to sit down, draw and inspire others!
So, I've been doing the tear down, sorting out the end bits of the exhibition and saying my thank yous this week. Hope to do some a fun post on the blog next week :)

If you read in the blocker and separator as symbols, you can make them work like this. (Feel like this code is rather clumsy though.)
- Code: Select all
(defun apply-separators (tree separator blocker)
(let (here out sublist)
(flet ((add-here ()
(if sublist
(push (reverse here) out)
(setf out (append here out)))
(setf sublist nil)
(setf here nil)))
(dolist (el tree)
((eql el separator)
(setf sublist t)
(push (reverse here) out)
(setf here nil))
((eql el blocker)
(push (if (listp el)
(apply-separators el separator blocker)el)
(unless (null here)
(reverse out))))
This will convert stuff like this: (b-> '|', s-> ';')
- Code: Select all
(apply-separators '(1 2 3 s (4 5 s 6 7 b 1 2) 4 6 s 4 9 1 b 1 2 3 4 5 b 1 4 s 5 5) 's 'b) -> ((1 2 3) ((4 5) (6 7) 1 2) (4 6) (4 9) 1 2 3 4 (1 4) (5 5))
This can make some code prettier, especially very non-functional code, and when you need sublists, here i also added xml-like stuff.
- Code: Select all
<defmethod apply-separators> (tree list ; separator symbol ; blocker symbol)
(let (here out sublist)
(flet ((add-here () |
if sublist
(push (reverse here) out)
(setf out (append here out));
setf sublist nil;
setf here nil;))
(dolist (el tree)
(eql el separator;
setf sublist t;
push (reverse here) out;
setf here nil;)
(eql el blocker;
push (if (listp el)
(apply-separators el separator blocker) el)
(unless | null here;
(reverse out)))
</defmethod apply-separators>
Now, i myself am not sure if this is a good idea. But what do you think? Could i get slime to accept it? (Edit: changed it to make it a little more readable.)
It does cut down on a look of hooks. Although newbies are often scared of hooks, it might be a good idea to let them use the hooks because if they don't, they might not realize properly(or as fast) that there are lists in there.

My favorite part in the story was when Ms. Zork goes back to space because she was a weird teacher. My favorite character in the story was Ms. Zork. I like Ms. Zork because she is an alien! I thought the book was scary at first because some of the words they used to describe Ms. Zork were scary. By the end, I was not scared anymore.
I would recommend this book to 3rd grade and 4th grade students because they might believe aliens are real. They also might have a weird teacher themselves.

Is the U.S. Headed Toward Bankruptcy?
On June 28, 2012, the city of Stockton, California filed for Chapter 9 protection, becoming the largest U.S. city ever to declare bankruptcy. Since 2010, seven U.S. cities and counties have filed for bankruptcy, and analysts predict more may be in the offing. Far from being isolated incidents of a few profligate municipalities, the global economic downturn has demonstrated the sobering reality of fiscal imbalance, one that is threatening larger cities and even countries around the world. more →

Is the U.S. Headed Toward Bankruptcy?Julia Cathleen Ott, Assistant Professor in the History of Capitalism, The New School, author, When Wall Street Met Main Street, August 2012
A little more than one year ago, the United States approached bankruptcy when Congress refused to raise the limit on the amount that the federal government could borrow. Finally, on August 2, 2011—just one day before the projected default—Congress passed and President Obama signed the Budget Control Act of 2011. more →

American President
The threat of depression is something many presidents must face during their time in office. Following his reelection in 1872, President Grant faced a fiscal challenge when the Panic of 1873 touched off a nation-wide depression. The economic downturn had many causes, including an economic depression in Europe, rapid industrial and agricultural growth, overexpansion of the railroads, and the effects of the Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War in Europe. Read more about the state of U.S. domestic affairs during Grant's administration here.
Woodrow Wilson pushed for banking reform through the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, which established twelve regional reserve banks controlled by the Federal Reserve Board, a new federal agency whose members were appointed by the President. This new federal system could adjust interest rates and the nation's money supply. Because it was authorized to issue currency based on government securities and "commercial paper" (the loans made to businesses by banks), the amount of money in circulation would expand or contract with the business cycle.

Katherine Brunt admits England women have "a point to prove" when they face ICC World Twenty20 runners-up New Zealand this summer.
While New Zealand reached the final of the competition in the Caribbean last month, England crashed out in the group stages - relinquishing the crown they won at Lord's the previous year.
It was a massive disappointment for Charlotte Edwards' team, who are still world champions in 50-over cricket, following the unprecedented success of 2009.
New Zealand's campaign also ended in anti-climax as they lost to Australia in the final.
And England pace bowler Brunt - named ECB Women's Cricketer of the Year last month - believes both sides will go into the opening Natwest Twenty20 international at Chelmsford on June 29 motivated by the anguish of recent regrets.
"Having lost the last three finals in a row, they've got a lot of heartache," she told ECBtv.com. "They are going to want to come out here and show that they can beat us.
"This is our home soil and we love playing cricket here and we want some revenge as well.
"They got to the final and we didn't even get to the semis, so we'll be trying to prove a point and they'll be trying as well."
The T20 series moves on to the Rose Bowl and Hove before the five-match 50-over series takes centre stage.
A welcome scheduling occurrence means that the penultimate 50-over game will take place in Brunt's hometown of Barnsley.
And with the prospect of a keenly-contested series going to the wire, Brunt is delighted all her family and friends will have the rare opportunity to watch her play.
"I have been waiting for this fixture for a long time," she said. "We don't play enough games up north. I would love to play at Headingley - it's one of the dreams of mine.
"To have it in my home ground is going to be fantastic, especially on the weekend. I just hope as many people turn up to watch because I think it will be a fantastic.
"We've played a few county matches there but to pull on the England shirt with my whole family watching me play - it may be the only time they'll get to see me play - would mean a lot to me. I just hope that I get picked that day."
Brunt: We want revenge

Lovelock Gives Conservatives Another Occasion To Dodge Climate Science
Blog ››› ››› SHAUNA THEEL
In a recent interview with MSNBC.com, scientist James Lovelock said that he was too "alarmist" in his previous statements about the consequences of global warming and he now appears to be overcorrecting in the opposite direction. While conservative media have used his reversal to question the scientific consensus on climate change, the truth is that Lovelock's views were never in line with mainstream climate science.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is a large group of experts that synthesizes climate research into massive reports on the state of the science. The Los Angeles Times reported in 2009 that Lovelock, who is known for formulating the Gaia hypothesis in the 1960s, considered those reports "too optimistic, constrained by 'consensus' (a word that makes his teeth itch) and wedded to computer models." Climate experts, in turn, distanced themselves from Lovelock's doomsday rhetoric. The IPCC's chairman, Rajendra Pachauri, told Agence France-Presse in September 2009 that Lovelock's predictions were "highly improbable"; RealClimate.org, a blog written by climate scientists, noted in 2006 that Lovelock's claims weren't supported by scientific research.
AFP labeled Lovelock a "scientific black sheep." The London Independent said in 2006 that Lovelock was "going out on a limb" and that his claims were "far gloomier than any yet made by a scientist of comparable international standing." And The Washington Post reported in 2006 that "the warming that Lovelock fears will occur is far more dire than that projected by many other scientists," and that his "dire talk no doubt occasions much rolling of eyes in polite circles, particularly among scientists in the United States."
Conservative media have repeatedly tried to seize upon one study, one scientist, or one phenomenon to disprove the climate change consensus, all while ignoring the massive body of scientific evidence behind it. But while some in the conservative media like to label anyone who agrees with the majority of scientists as "alarmist," they are the ones making claims not based in science.

Doctors weighed in, some calling vitamins placebos that make people who take them feel better, while natural health experts and some nutritionists reminded that a healthy diet trumps supplements.
A study released at the end of May by the Journal of the American College of Cardiology unsettled natural health advocates by affirming, "In general, the data on the popular supplements (multivitamins, vitamin D, calcium and vitamin C) show no consistent benefit for the prevention of CVD (cardiovascular disease), MI (myocardial infarction) or stroke, nor was there a benefit for all-cause mortality to support their continued use."
Doctors weighed in, some calling vitamins placebos that make people who take them feel better, while natural health experts and some nutritionists reminded that a healthy diet trumps supplements.
"It seems to be a misleading statement from the start: 'Vitamins provide no benefits for certain diseases,'" said Tobi Page, a registered dietician near Portland, Oregon, who owns the consultancy Eating is a Lifestyle. "Deficiency causes problems.
Toxicity causes problems. Certain vitamins can be extremely helpful for certain diseases. Other diseases have nothing to do with a particular vitamin. Eat more whole foods and less processed food. Move more. Sleep well. Relax. These are the messages I think we need to be supporting."
According to Forbes, "One exception was folate and other B vitamins: There was low- and moderate-quality evidence that folate or folic acid (B-9) reduced the risk for heart disease. There was also some evidence that folate and other B vitamins reduced the risk of stroke."
With at least 50 percent of Americans taking some sort of supplement and the vitamin industry reporting billions in sales, it is important to determine when and why supplements are needed. The takeaway of the American College of Cardiology study is that increasing intake of vitamin-rich foods is more effective than taking supplements.
"A balanced diet, one containing plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, offers a mix of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients (some yet to be identified) that collectively meet the body's needs," cited health.harvard.edu in an updated report on vitamins and minerals. "Maybe what counts is the synergistic interactions of these nutrients — which might also help explain why trials of single nutrients often don't pan out."
