Kyle Cooper has been credited as the man who single-handedly revitalized the main title sequence as an art form. His groundbreaking title sequence for Se7en (1995) changed the way we look and think about title design today and is arguably the most imitated main title ever made. The Se7en title sequence was hailed by New York Times Magazine as "One of the most important design innovations of the 1990s".
Cooper founded two internationally recognized film design companies, Imaginary Forces and Prologue Films, both of which are based in Los Angeles and both are influential in their field. His body of work includes over 100 film title sequences. Among the most memorable ones are Mimic, Dawn of the Dead, Donnie Brasco and all three of the Spider-Man movies.

Where's part 2??
Give us a "Stay Tuned" or something to hint that it will come later. I'm searching around the site but I'm finding nothing.
btw - Cooper's the man!

Great interview indeed!
Mmm, kind of looks like this is the last interview, and it seems it is part 1 of 2. So we need to wait a little bit, I suppose?
But this is the wonder that internet is... so your 'Stay Tuned' can be found in that orange icon somewhere on this page (RSS is its name :))

Underneath the video there's text with some info on part 2.
We don't know when Part 2 of the Cooper interview will be online yet. This is related to a feature documentary on title design we're developing. So stay tuned!

It's funny how directors never give credit or at least a thanks to the people that helped them with their work. Don't get me wrong Kyle Cooper is good, but c'mon, he didn't do the Seven, Mimic, etc. titles by himself. Sure he was Creative Director, but even CD's get help from the people they work with.
20 Feb 10 • by: remco
Not true. Kyle gives ample credit to all that participated in the Se7en titles in this detailed 'making of' interview:
21 Feb 10 • by: Douglas Graves
wow. Kyle Cooper is great! He's amazing. thank you for the links for Mimic and Island of Dr Moreau. i had never seen them. I really appreciate the interview and I can't wait to see your completed documentary.
10 Mar 10 • by: Chimpdoctor
Hey great interview. He's a hard man to track down. Whats the background music? Dj Shadow or dust brothers or something, i cant recall.
27 Jul 10 • by: kyle is lame
whatever, kyle is all "me" "me" "me"
he takes ALL credit for talented people who he whips and slave drives.
i do give kyle credit for finding phenomenal talent who will make him look good.
those people are the ones who need to be credited to putting kyle on the mantle that he is on.
28 Jul 10 • by: remco
A completely misinformed comment. During the interview, Kyle actually constantly gave credit to all the people he worked with, be it directors, designers or DP's. Just read the Se7en interview on this site.
2 Sep 10 • by: Jerry Henderson
It's funny because se7en did make me want to become a graphic designer, motion designer, title sequence designer.

Hi all,
I may have just missed it along the line somewhere, but I have not seen a post like I have in the past asking for volunteers for the various stations at the BPG event. Is that because 'Berta and Bill have that all covered already? That's cool if that's the case, but if help is needed somewhere, Colleen and I would be happy to help!

I am asking for club support and car count. I am not going to contact anyone at BPG. The offer is here and has been repeated several times. If BPG doesn't want to be involved or supportive that is their choice. The event will go on anyway. For your info we have been discussing this for several weeks and no one has called me yet. The contracts are in place and this is the way it is. Show me cars and I will consider more days next year but it will be on the grounds at the track.
I did not call because I needed items in writing...Things get lost in translation in phone calls and when I was still Chairman I did contact you thru e-mail. When I ran an event I contacted people for support and did not expect them to reach out to me. As I am not in charge anymore you need to reach out to the Directors for support. If members want to go that is their choice. I wish your event well but will be in Allentown as it is a 650 mile one way trip to Norwalk for me.

I'm sorry if you thought that was directed towards you. You had already explained that you were no longer in office. I am talking about the present officers. The event will happen no matter who shows up or who doesn't. I am hoping the BPG appreciates the offer and will help promote the event and give the members a chance to participate as a group. The Olds crowd is really looking forward to "beating up on some Buicks". Again, I am not asking for financial support. Lets all work together and have an event that will not go away. As far as the show cars, the track has a great grassy area on the opposite side of the track. Show me a 100+ Buick show cars and I'll arrange a cookout at the track. Good luck in Allentown.
I live in south eastern Ohio. I will be attending both shows. Norwalk is 3 hours (150 miles) from my door and Allentown is 350 miles away. My hat is off to you for inviting the Buick crowd. Most of the local Buick guys will probably attend even if it is only a one day event. Buick events are getting fewer and fewer a anything to support our efforts is appreciated. Thanks. John Schmidt

Mr. Miller,
While I do appreciate your efforts, zero communication has occurred over the past year until your announcement on our board. The BPG (Buick Performance Group) had an established event at National Trails in Columbus for many years. It was, to a degree, successful and we enjoyed earnings that allowed our non-profit club to return those earnings to their members. Mr. Wills and Ms. Vasilow contacted the BPG over a year ago in order to have the Buick Norwalk event continue. We, of course, were interested in doing so. We even paid a visit to Norwalk last October (2014) to meet with the Baders and their staff to discuss the BPG's future involvement along with Mr. Wills. All seemed well and we agreed to run the car show at the Arby's this year (2015) and were quite successful in doing so I might add. The first sign of any "issue" was the total lack of communication from Norwalk after the Buick event, not that there was much before either. I know Sean tried multiple times to establish contact with the track as did other members of the Board of Directors, all to no avail. KEEP IN MIND WE GAVE UP OUR VENUE AND DATES AT NATIONAL TRAILS BELIEVING WE WOULD BE TAKING OVER THE NORWALK EVENT. You I am sure are aware of the difficulty of obtaining dates for a meet at a major facility such as Norwalk or National Trails. Once you're out, you're out for good and we lost our slot under the belief we would be taking over Norwalk.
As far as an "established event", the BCA (Buick Club of America) is celebrating their 50th anniversary in 2016, so I think they are a little more "established" as even by your own admission than the Olds event. Also, keep in mind the BCA is in no way connected with the BPG. Two completely separate entities, so while there is no real connection, most of our members are also members of the BCA. BCA also has a "Modified" show class that will fit many of the cars and is one that people should take advantage of if they have a car that is different than stock original. An "arse" for every seat, so to speak. It should be up to you to work around other major event's times when you are only putting on a one day affair. Believe me, the BPG was HIGHLY interested in keeping our event away from other Buick events and we actively solicited input from those other promoters to keep from "stepping on each others toes". Also a one day only event will NOT gain much favor in the Buick world as most of our event is more social in nature and the evenings are to die for. You have eliminated that aspect of our events with a one-day only deal. Most people will leave for home shortly after they are done racing.
So to sum up, you can imagine the Directors surprise when you made your announcement. We had been "end-arounded" by Norwalk and, not to throw stones, you yourself. You can rightly assume that we were a little PO'd. Not a PM, phone call (all of the BOD's numbers are published on this site), not a call from the track, NOTHING. So to ask for our support of your for-profit event (even though you may not make any profit, the assumption is there), well, it's asking a bit much don't you think? I mean, what if the shoe was on the other foot, how would you feel? A little put out, I bet. You can rightly assume we are too.
I do agree that a combined event, whether a combined Buick only event or a Buick-Olds-??? event, is necessary for everyones survival. The days of a single marque or only one type (show only, race only, etc) are over. Multiple clubs can not survive on their own anymore and there must be a combining of efforts for the survival of any and all.

It sounded like things didn't work out the way you wanted. For that I am sorry for the BPG members. It was not my doing. You are coming across like it was my fault. I had nothing to do with your event being canceled. After I heard it was canceled I simply offered to allow the Buick's to attend our already established Olds event. I am very disappointed at your attitude for what ever the reason. I have spent to much time already trying to convince the BPG membership to come and be part of my event. I am done. If they come great. If they don't fine. Attitudes like yours are probably part of the reason you didn't get the Norwalk event which by the way was never promised to you or me by Norwalk ownership who despite your desires have the right to do as they please. I am just in a position to offer a chance for Buick's to continue racing at Norwalk. If they don't show up in numbers the Buick portion of the event will be canceled. I don't owe you anything and I don't or need anything from you or the BPG to survive. Get over yourself and your issues and stand up for the BPG members to have another event to go to. As I said if the Buick's show up I will consider making it a larger event. If not bye bye. I will not be wasting any more of my time on this site. All I have done is tried to help the BPG and for that I get this kind of crap.
We The BPG were told That We the BPG would continue the event...I have all the e-mails from Bader and Wills...which is why I do not like phone calls. here is e-mail from Bader
Hello Sean,
I'm a little confused, for 2015, I have an agreement in place with Bill Wills and Roberta Vasilow to produce a Buick event. I understood that after 2015, we would discuss and negotiate a new facility lease agreement between our two organizations.
There was no communication after the event...

Hi Sean,
My name is Bill Bader and I'm the owner of Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk ,Ohio. Your name was given to me from Bill Wills.
I understand your interested in the potential of producing a Buick Event in 2016 and would like to arrange a site visit. Do you have any possible dates in mind?
I look forward to meeting you!

Good Afternoon Sean,
I understand you called on Friday and left a message with Kurt Johnson our Track Manager. To clarify, I will be the one to handle all pricing for your event.
I think a face-to-face meeting is in order before we move to pricing.

Mr. Miller,
See, you just made my point for me. No communication. From anyone. Never said is was your doing. Your reading way too much into my post. Norwalk failed to communicate and then when you had the opportunity to speak with us, you just made a post taking over the event (remember, nobody had told us we were NOT having an event at that time). No communication again. Imagine the calls each and every one of the BOD received questioning what was going on. Now double that number. And we didn't even have any answers and were left scrambling .
I DO wish your event much success. I really do. You must understand, as a businessman, that a non-profit 501C4 tax except corporation cannot contribute anything to the event, not even an endorsement to attend. This is business econ 101 level stuff. We would be crucified by the IRS if we did so. Our CPA advised us to RUN away as quickly as possible. I cannot, with good conscious, tell the members of the BPG to attend as that could be construed as an endorsement and we (BPG) would have our tax exempt status questioned. Make no mistake about it, the IRS is REALLY looking into every 501C4 corporation and scrutinizes our tax return with zero mercy. Now, do I personally care if they go? No, its fine with me personally. I would like to attend but I can take only so much time off work and this year, BCA has my priority. If there had been communication, we could have told you/Norwalk that the time chosen in July would conflict with a huge Buick event and that there would be reduced attendance from the Buick side. No one asked. No one communicated. Maybe now you can sense our frustration. Hell, I didn't even know who you were before you posted. However from your last post directed to me, I have a much better understanding of who and what you are now.
Good luck with all of your future endeavors and I sincerely mean that.
Brad Conley. 70 GSX Prototype, 71 Black GSX, 87 GNX Prototype, 75 Skyhawk, 2 86 GN's, 72 Centurion Convert and a host of other Buicks!
I have a lot more e-mails saying how we would take over the event...and maybe these should have been published earlier... We were never given any financial information about the event. What it would cost the BPG...At National Trail we knew everything. We the BPG did most of the promotion for the 2015 Event.. How can you commit to hosting a National Event without knowing the cost's... I do feel the BPG was invited to the 2015 event to generate revenue to all parties involved and that the track knew they would not continue a Buick Event. It is a business and profit keeps you viable. This thread has turned into something else...if anyone wants to contact me you know my information...This stuff is one of the reasons I stepped down as chairman.

So the real issue is that you let one event go without having in writing that it would happen anywhere else. Bad decision. Especally bad business decision for a business man. Negotiate, potential, or face to face, has nothing to do with a done deal. Now you want to take a thread that was going smoothly and turn it into your own personal bitch session. Boohoo. If this is the way you responded with Bill Bader I can see why he decided to turminate the Buick event. Still, this has nothing to do with me. Why are you trying to ruin this thread. None of this applies to the fact that I have an Olds event at Norwalk and have invited the Buick's to join us after their event was announced as canceled. I did that. Not Norwalk. You yourself announced that the event was cancelled 3 days before I posted anything about the invitation. I never said I was taking over the Buick event. I just invited them to join the Olds event.
Hey D head I went to every event there for 20 years. In 2007 it was going to rain there and I sat right there and did not leave. it rained like mad on my way home BOTH front and rear windows started leaking and almost ruined my roof liner inside my car. Plus on the way home the drag radials I had were very weak and I could feel the car sliding around while I was driving. So don't give me this crap that MY attitude kept this race from happening. There were plenty of cars there when I was going. Yeah 2008 hurt a lot of people and I don't have a money tree in my backyard. That gas was 3.00 per gallon then and race gas is 7.00 per gallon so I do not know where you get your numbers at but that equates to about 80.00 in gas just to get there and back and that does not include the pay in and food.
In 2008 I went there and damn near broke the rear with the nitrous I shut it off and went on to get 3 place in my class. After that I lost my job and had one heck of a time trying to get back. I spent the next three years going to school. There was no money in my pocket to get my windows fixed and I could not even afford to go. I am just now starting to get it together and my plan was to be there this year and it WAS TOTALLY cancelled both times. So what do you want me to do go in the driving rain just to be turned away at the gate. Take that ATTITUDE. D...
Most of the time that race was the 1st week of May when it rains. They don't run the Chevy and Ford event then do they Heck No.
Seems to me Norwalk wanted to end it just like everyone does with Buicks Go to Summit and tell me what they sell for a 350 Buick, not much. Buicks are always on the bottom when it comes to support. Norwalk has no trouble running the high school crapp. How about canceling some of those other shows.
So right now I have an attitude and now you prove to me your going to make it happen and I will be there. I want to kick some Olds butts
From what I just read with the rest it seems to me the one with the attitude is you and you have a show in the middle of summer which the Buicks never had. Now you want us to commit to you or be put out. Looks tike the BPG got put out by canceling in Columbus to join the others at Norwalk.
and the Buicks will put you guys on the trailer. yeah I got attitude.

Burlington city council votes to solve a problem that doesn't exist
I used to live in Vermont when I taught ROTC at the University of Vermont in Burlington, but I lived in St. Albans. There was a saying outside of Chittenden county that went; "the nicest thing about Burlington is that it's so close to Vermont". At the time, communist Bernie Sanders was mayor and there was a Republican governor and they were always at odds. Folks who live outside of Burlington are generally libertarian and scoff at the flatlanders who moved to Burlington from New York City – like Sanders and Howard Dean.
A local TV station reports that the Burlington City Council has voted to approve an assault weapon ban in the city even though none of the weapons they call assault weapons have been used in crime in the city;
Burlington Police Chief Michael Schirling said most gun crime in the city involves hand guns, not assault weapons.
Burlington Police could not provide statistics on how many crimes involves assault weapons as that information was not readily available.
But the citizens of Burlington know;
"How many semi-automatic rifles have been shot in the city of Burlington with people injured? None," said Bob Reid. "How many large capacity magazines were used in those rifles? None."
Well, that doesn't really matter, because all that's important to liberals is that they be seen as "doing something" no matter that there'll be no effect on the particular issue. It's their intentions that are paramount.
Luckily, for the residents of Burlington, they'll get a vote on the scary-looking gun ban in their city, but, they should fire their city council in the interim.

Few days ago while browsing around Arizona in Panoramio I found Horseshoe Bend, one of those places where satellite and surface photos combine so good that you almost get the feeling being physically there, as you can see in the mini-panoramio below:
Horseshoe Bend is a meander of the Colorado River located near the town of Page, Arizona, in the United States. I didn't found very much information about this place in the Wikipedia article, but I found some great shots (1, 2 and 3).
In the same area it is located the Antelope Canyon, where some breathtaking photos (1, 2 and 3) have been mapped. Definitively Arizona is full of interesting places.

President Anibal Cavaco Silva thanked Portugal's patron saint for a long-delayed approval of Lisbon's bailout review last week, but the head of state could claim a share of the credit for himself.
The conservative president's role has grown far beyond his figurehead status in the past few weeks.
Continue Reading Below
With the president on his side, Prime Minister Passos Coelho appears immune to opposition calls for an early election, despite a teetering coalition, record-low popularity in opinion polls and protests and strikes promised for late May and June.
Such resilience is helping to rehabilitate Portugal in the eyes of investors. This week, for the first time since 2010, it dropped out of the top 10 countries for default risk.
Its assumed chance of default in the next five years is still high, at 22.6 percent - but down from 65 percent in 2012.
Like other sovereign debtors, Portugal has benefited from the cheap money flooding into markets from major central banks and, more specifically, from the European Central Bank's pledges to defend the euro and support the bloc's economy.
Cavaco Silva can take credit for helping Passos Coelho overcome a rift within the ruling coalition and growing opposition to austerity after the rejection of some government measures by the constitutional court. The early April ruling had held up the bailout review by almost two months.
The president has the power to fire the government and call new elections, but has ruled out any such move as destabilizing.
That means the government can go ahead with spending cuts dictated by the terms of its EU/IMF bailout, supporting a return to bond markets after the mid-2011 rescue.
The economy could still undermine faith by shrinking more than the 2.3 percent the government expects or by extending its worst recession since the 1970s into 2014, but first-quarter data last week showed the contraction is easing.
"The president favors this government and his message is that it will stay on," said Marina Costa Lobo, a political scientist at the University of Lisbon. "Monday's State Council meeting was a show of support, typical of Cavaco who likes to act behind the scenes."
Cavaco Silva, 73, discussed what will happen at the end of the bailout in mid-2014 with the consultative council. Sources said most of its members agreed that an early election would only jeopardize Portugal's financing and growth.
It ended with a vague statement calling for "adequate balance between financial discipline, solidarity and economic stimulus", ignoring what the opposition says is a regime crisis.
The first signs of such a balance cropped up on Wednesday, when Germany vowed to use its development bank KfW to give loans to small companies and help create jobs in Portugal, where youth unemployment has reached a record 42 percent.
"We've been in need of measures that are not just about budget consolidation and can generate fiscal revenues," said Filipe Garcia, head of Informacao de Mercados Financeiros consultants. "It's positive, if perhaps coming a bit late."
More European support could follow, analysts say, in the form of further relaxing of budget deficit targets if the economy underperforms. Portugal's goals have been eased twice already.
"Europe wants a success story, not another Greece, so one could expect some easing of goals possibly after the German elections" in September, Costa Lobo said.
Visiting Berlin, Finance Minister Vitor Gaspar brushed off criticism that the European Commission is too inflexible and said it was focusing on tackling the structural deficit rather than the nominal gap. That could give Portugal breathing space.
Last week, the European Union and International Monetary Fund accepted a rough spending cut plan when they sealed the review required to disburse the next 2 billion euro aid tranche.
The government promised to try to find alternatives to a levy on pensions after the junior coalition partner, the rightist CDS, said it would not support the measure.
The amount at stake is about 10 percent of the total 4.8 billion euros that Portugal has promised in savings up to 2015, and analysts believe the coalition will find compromises and lenders will make concessions rather than risk a split.
"A coalition breakup would make a scapegoat out of (CDS leader) Paulo Portas for things going wrong in Portugal. He will not allow this to happen," said Antonio Vitorino, president of Notre Europe think tank, adding that Cavaco Silva had "assumed the role of the guardian of the coalition's stability".
Investors seem to share the view that either the government will hit its budget deficit targets - 5.5 percent of GDP this year and 4 percent in 2014, from last year's 6.2 percent - or lenders will ease the targets again.
Portugal issued its first 10-year benchmark bond since the bailout on May 7 at a lower yield than its last pre-bailout issue.

Nice details on the houses! What exactly do you plan? A raceline in the middle of a town area, or also offroad/beach or something like this? On the second pic I can see a fence and a tunnel - will this be part of the raceline? I don't know this CS map, maybe this would already answer my questions.
However, looks promising so far!

European Commission - Press release
EU challenges Argentina's import restrictions
Brussels, 25 May 2012 - The EU today launched a challenge to Argentina's import restrictions at the World Trade Organisation in Geneva. Under WTO dispute settlement procedures, the EU is first requesting consultations with Argentina in a bid to have these measures - which negatively affect the EU's trade and investment - lifted. The restrictive measures include Argentina's import licensing regime and notably the procedures to obtain an import licence as well as the obligation on companies to balance imports with exports. This is a first step in the WTO dispute settlement system. If no solution is found within 60 days, then the EU can request a WTO Panel to be established to rule on the legality of Argentina's actions.
"Argentina's import restrictions violate international trade rules and must be removed. These measures are causing very real damage to EU companies – hurting jobs and our economy as a whole", said EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht. "The trade and investment climate in Argentina is clearly getting worse. This leaves me no choice but to challenge Argentina's protectionist import regime and ensure that the rules for free and fair trade are upheld."
The EU has clear concerns in respect of Argentina's import measures which run contrary to WTO rules for a transparent, free and fair trading system. These include:
The restrictions which were in place in 2011 affected about €500 million of exports in the same year. As of 2012, the extension of the measures to all products raised the magnitude of the potentially affected trade to all EU exports to Argentina, which amounted to €8.3 billion in 2011. The long-term impact of a negative trade and investment climate is significantly higher.
The EU, together with other major world trading partners, has raised the issue with Argentina repeatedly over the past years without success.
Trade facts and figures
Trade in goods (directly impacted by the restrictive measures and subject to this WTO case)
EU imports from Argentina primarily consist of agricultural products (food and live animals, 53%), chemicals (16%) and raw materials (14%), while the EU mainly exports manufactured goods such as machinery and transport equipment, such as cars and car parts (50%) and chemicals (20%) to Argentina.
Trade in commercial services
Argentina's restrictive measures are extending to more and more sectors; in this regard, the EU is also closely monitoring the services sector and evaluating the extent to which it is affected.
Next steps in WTO dispute settlement procedures
The request for consultations formally initiates a dispute under the WTO dispute settlement understanding. Consultations give the EU and Argentina the opportunity to discuss the matter and to find a satisfactory solution without resorting to litigation.
If these consultations do not reach a satisfactory solution within 60 days, the EU may request that a WTO Panel be established to rule on the legality of Argentina's measures.

The Southern Crop Production Association's highest award for outstanding service to the organization by a member has been awarded to Eddie Ingram.
The William C. Larue Award for 2006 was presented at the association's annual banquet at Amelia Island, Fla.
Named for the SCPA's executive secretary for many of the early years of the organization, the award is given annually to a member or members having exemplified "the highest standards of honor and integrity, materially assisting in the accomplishment of SCPA's goals."
Ingram, who is with Bayer CropScience at Auburn, Ala., has served on SCPA's State Affairs Committee for the past four years and as its president for the past two years.
"Under his leadership, the committee has monitored legislation and regulations in all southern states and has lobbied for passage of legislation favorable to our industry," said Ed Duskin, SCPA executive vice president.
"In 2005, a successful State Issues Summit was held at Richmond, Va., providing much needed information for state associations and organizations, as well as providing an excellent networking opportunity for participants.
"In August 2006, the committee sponsored a Biotech Summit in Arkansas, which was well attended and helped to focus attention on the benefits of biotechnology in crop production."
Ingram began his crop protection career in 1978 as a member of Union Carbide's Temik product development group. From 1980 to 1986, he was the company's field development representative for Louisiana, after which he became national development coordinator for specialty products at Raleigh, N.C.
Following Rhone-Poulenc's purchase of Union Carbide, he relocated to Lyon, France. In 1988, he returned to the United States, serving as RP's development manager for Latin America, covering Mexico and all points south.
In 1991, he became senior field development scientist, covering the states of Alabama and Georgia. When Rhone-Poulenc and Agrevo merged to form Aventis, he became a product manager, and when Aventis was acquired by Bayer, he assumed his current position as state affairs manager for the southern region.
He also currently serves as chairman of the Issues Committee for RISE (Responsible Industry for a Sound Environment), the national association representing manufacturers, formulators, distributors, and other industry organizations involved with pesticide products used in turf, ornamental, pest control, aquatic and terrestrial vegetation, and other non-food/fiber applications.
"Eddie's wide-ranging experience and knowledge of the crop protection industry has been of enormous value in furthering the goals of our association and industry," Duskin said.

THOUSAND OAKS, CA -- More Americans will make financial fitness more of a priority than physical fitness in 2008, according to a recent survey.
In the survey, 67 percent of Americans say saving more money is a top New Year's resolution while 57 percent are committed to becoming physically fit. Of the 1,002 adults surveyed, more people believe financial fitness is more important than physical fitness, yet 46 percent of those surveyed believe they are financially fit. Respondents agreed that developing consistent and disciplined behaviors is the reason why becoming financially and physically fit is so difficult to achieve.
"I believe there is a strong correlation between financial security and physical and emotional well-being," says Melody Alderman, a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in Woodland Hills, CA. "People who save money on a regular basis, regardless of the total amount they have in the bank, are less likely to battle anxiety, depression and have money be an issue in their relationship. In my view, the results of the survey are an indicator that people are finally putting financial health on par with physical health."
Also in the survey, 51 percent of married people believe they are physically fit, while 39 percent of married people believe they are financially fit. On the other hand, 49 percent of unmarried people believe they are physically fit, and 50 percent of unmarried people believe they are financially fit.
The survey was conducted by InsightExpress for Countrywide Bank.

Wrestling trading cards have been around for more than a century, and the recent announcement of a Topps-WWE collaboration gives collectors a new reason to celebrate.
The agreement between World Wrestling Entertainment and Topps trading cards, which was announced earlier this month, will see the popular sports and entertainment card company produce a variety of sets devoted to WWE's past and present stars. Prior to the agreement, Topps' United Kingdom division had been releasing WWE cards exclusively in Europe.
Topps is no stranger to the wrestling card market, having produced cards throughout the post-World War II era.
"Topps and professional wrestling are as American as apple pie," noted Topps' Clay Luraschi. "Topps has over a half-century tradition of presenting the biggest names in professional wrestling to the North American public. Commencing with our 1951 Ringside card product, and continuing with our WWF card products in the 1980s, and our WCW card products in the 1990s."
Because of wrestling's trading card history, Luraschi believes that the new sets will be popular with the young and old alike. "Similar to our sports products and our Star Wars products, wrestling is a property that involves a multi-generational sharing of experiences, fun and collecting among children, teens, parents and grandparents," Luraschi said.
The first set under the new agreement will be Topps Heritage, a popular brand in their sports and entertainment lines. Luraschi believes that the appeal of the Heritage line will cross over well to the new WWE product. "Building on Topps' successful marketing of our Sports Heritage brand, that we successfully extended to our Star Wars Heritage product in 2004," Luraschi said, "our 2005 WWE Heritage product is going to incorporate vintage designs in showcasing a blend of current WWE Superstars, Divas, and WWE Legends from the past ... that young and old can share the fun of collecting together."
Packs of Heritage cards are set to carry a suggested retail price of $1.99 USD, a number that should help sales that have stuggled in recent years. "Few cards sell nowadays due to the high per pack price," said Dave Gannon, organizer of the upcoming Great Canadian Wrestling Expo.
Prior to creating its first stand-alone wrestling set in 1951, Topps issued its first mat wars cards in 1948's Hocus Focus product. Among the cards found in that set were Stanislaus Zbyszko, the Masked Marvel, Tony Galento and others.
Since that first effort, Topps has produced cards of the greats in the wrestling industry on and off for a number of years, creating a variety of sets which children of all ages will remember vividly. Among those are WWF sets produced in the mid-1980s, which were created in Canada by sister company O-Pee-Chee.
Topps also had a licensing agreement with World Championship Wrestling in the late 1990s, which yielded a variety of cards featuring stars of WCW and the nWo. The company also produced Europe-exclusive cards featuring stars of the former company in the early 1990s.
Before Topps acquired their latest license, WWE trading cards had been produced by Fleer/Skybox International. The company had produced a wide variety of sets in the late 1990s through the summer of 2005, when they went out of business. During their run, Fleer brought a number of innovative cards to the hobby. Among these were memorabilia cards, which feature a swatch of material from a wrestling event, be it a competitor's trunks, a valet's ringside attire or the mat itself.
WWE has also had a trading card agreement with Classic Games Inc., Action Packed (who were the first company to include certified autograph cards in a wrestling product), Comic Images, while WCW cards were produced by Impel and Cardz Distribution during the pre-nWo years. To this point, only one card set has been created that features the stars of TNA. The set, released in 2004, was created by the now-defunct Pacific Trading Cards Inc. Cards have also been produced in Japan and Mexico, featuring the top stars of puroresu and lucha libre.
Wrestling cards, in fact, date back all the way back to the early 1900s. There were a variety of pre-World War II wrestling cards produced that were distributed in cigarette packs. These cards, however, primarily focused on amateur and Olympic wrestlers. Among these was a 25-card set known as "Wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu." The set was created in 1913 by John Player and Sons, which was a division of the Imperial Tobacco Company of Britain and Ireland. Also popular in this era were Exhibit cards, which were produced from the 1920s through to the 1960s.
Following the cigarette card era, three companies produced wrestling card sets, including Topps, Exhibit, and Canadian company, Parkhurst. Parkhurst, a name familiar to hockey fans, is credited with creating the first "parallel" cards in the wrestling hobby (cards which look similar to standard cards, but have differing elements such as colour or photos), as several cards pulled from packs had offers for various toys.
A variety of other card-type collectibles have been produced over the years, including premium cards inserted in bags of chips, magazines and boxes of ice cream bars. Recently, WWE has been creating photo cards that have been inserted into their DVDs. Other collectibles include stickers and POGs.
Collectors can get a preview of the Topps Heritage set by picking up promotional cards featuring WWE Champion John Cena.
Jon Waldman, a SLAM! writer since 2000, has written about the sports collectibles industry for several years. Along with staff positions at Canadian Sports Collector, Sportsology and SLAM! Collectibles, Jon has contributed articles about the hobby to The Hockey News and Canadian Hockey Magazine, and has guested on various radio shows.

Until last year, it seemed our chances of soon seeing a proper follow-up to the first two entries in the immensely popular Fallout series were fading. Then it happened: Bethesda dropped an eye-popping teaser trailer for Fallout 3 just prior to E3, and additional details have been surfacing sporadically ever since. Now several years along in its development cycle, Fallout 3 is expected to be a highly coveted title when it hits retail shelves in late 2008. Much of what makes Fallout such a great series appears to be intact, but Bethesda Softworks is also taking some chances by throwing a few interesting new twists into the gameplay.
The juxtaposition between the series' 1950's era Americana and a futuristic post-apocalyptic wasteland first won over the hearts of RPG enthusiasts a decade ago. Set far into the future, Fallout takes place in a world ravaged by nuclear war. With major cities and precious resources destroyed, the last remnants of humanity primarily survived the devastation by seeking refuge in underground vaults constructed across America. As survivors emerged, pocket civilizations, brigands of mutants, and various tribes cropped up to stake their claim to the scorched landscape.
In Fallout 3, players will start-out in Vault 101 which remained sealed beneath the remains of Washington D.C. since the war began almost 200 years prior. The first short section of the game revolves around the player's life growing up in the Vault, but before long you'll set off into the dangerous realm beyond your relatively safe, enclosed society in search of your father who mysteriously disappears. Escaping the Vault launches you into a vast open-world game environment which promises ample opportunities for scavenging, branching story paths, battle against the radiated denizens on the surface, and interaction with the many groups of human survivors who crawled out from their vaults before you.
Like the first two titles, players will be given free reign of how they plan to approach different situations in the game. The choices they make will affect their alignment, how others react to them, and what paths are opened in the game, among other things. While good and evil actions will have some obvious and not-so-obvious effects, the developers plan to equally flesh out unique opportunities and situations for players whose style lies in-between the two extremes. Treading the neutral path will presumably have its own benefits and drawbacks. This should offer incentive for replay since certain occurrences and areas of the game will open or close depending on the way situations are handled.
The biggest change in the formula, and one that's likely to either elicit strong reactions one way or another from the hardcore fan base, is Fallout 3 will be played primarily in a first-person perspective. There will be an option to pull back into an over-the-shoulder third-person perspective, and it's possible to arrange the camera so it comes close to mimicking the original perspective in Fallout. Despite the first-person perspective and real-time combat, battle will still rely heavily on your stats in true RPG fashion. The Vault-Tech Assisted Targeting System will also let players pause the battle at any time and use actions points to target specific areas of your adversaries right down to individual their limbs. As players level-up, they'll be able to use experience points to boost their stats and skills and select new perks at regular intervals.
Your weapons will slowly begin to degrade after continued use, and it becomes necessary to cannibalize parts of other weapons to keep your favorites in good shape. The amount of damage weapons do and other factors will be adjusted as their condition declines. The style and variety of armament will be in-line with the original Fallout titles with a mixture of basic, primitive weaponry used alongside more advanced high-tech ordinance.
Between the scarcity of ammo and constantly changing weapon conditions, salvaging equipment from dead foes and the destroyed landscape will play an important part in Fallout 3. Non-radiated food and water and stim-packs are expected to be equally scarce to add to the challenge of survival. Among other pre-war technology, the beloved Pip Boy device will also make an interesting return. This time it's worn on your wrist and serves a variety of important functions including an interface for character stat development, an in-game radio (which reportedly has other uses besides playing "oldies" era tunes), and a radiation meter, among other possible uses being developed.
It appears Bethesda is putting a huge amount of effort into packing-in tons of visual detail, which will be showcased even more with the new first-person perspective. From massive rubble and debris strewn locales to the visible finger smears on the green-lit Pip Boy screen, the game's visuals should be far from disappointing. The field of view is expected to afford an excellent long-distance perspective of the environments. The coming months will continue to be an agonizing wait for Fallout fans, but patience will eventually pay off assuming the developers are able to stick to a late 2008 release schedule. With plenty of time left in the game's development cycle, it should be interesting to see what else Bethesda has up its sleeve for Fallout 3.

U.S. authorities have sought information from Dean Foods Co (NYSE:DF) and Clorox Co (NYSE:CLX) in connection with an insider-trading investigation of billionaire investor Carl Icahn, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

Food and beverage company Dean Foods received a subpoena from criminal authorities in recent weeks ordering the company to produce information, the Journal said. (http://on.wsj.com/1iA3zt9)
In 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had contacted consumer products maker Clorox for information related to trading in the company's shares, the business daily said.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Securities and Exchange Commission are probing the case, which also involves golfer Phil Mickelson and Las Vegas gambler William Walters, Reuters reported earlier this month.
The investigators are looking into whether Mickelson and Walters may have traded illegally on private information provided by Icahn about his investments in public corporations.
The investigators are examining trading in Clorox securities around July 2011, when Icahn made an offer to buy the company, the WSJ said on Monday.
In the case of Dean Foods, the investigation is focused on trading related to the 2012 spinoff of its WhiteWave Foods Co division, the business daily said.
It is unclear what records they sought from Dean Foods and Clorox, the WSJ said.
None of the men have been charged, and there is no indication charges will be filed, the WSJ reported, adding that Icahn, Walters and Mickelson have denied any wrongdoing.
Dean Foods is also doing its own investigation of the matter, the WSJ said.
"We are reviewing this matter, and our practice is to offer our full support to any government investigation," Dean Foods told Reuters said in an e-mailed statement.
Clorox was not immediately available for comment to Reuters.
Dean Foods shares fell 7 percent in trading after the bell on Monday. They closed at $17.55 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Clorox shares were flat at $91.34 in extended trading.

Coach Evan Tuttle tried to hide his disappointment as Mack Golos rebounded off the wall for his first turn in the 500 freestyle. The sophomore swimmer already had a commanding lead.
He was ripping through the water with the power of a sprinter, and Southington fans were drowning out cheers at the Hamden pool.Tuttle seemed to be the only one that realized the danger.
Golos was competing in a distance event. Slow and steady usually wins the race.
"Sometimes in those distance events you see kids jump out to a big lead, but they can't sustain it," said the coach. "It's usually the kids that set a good pace that end up winning, but he held onto that quick pace and built that lead every single lap through 20 laps."
Golos proved to be the exception. He never slowed, and the clock read 5:14.72 when he slapped the wall at the finish. It was fast enough to win his heat at the 2013 Class LL qualifying meet. It was fast enough to win the next, faster heat, and to pick off a few others that scored faster in the regular season.
"That was, by far, his best time. It was the best time that anybody put in for the 500 this year," said Tuttle. "Mack was a big underdog. He was questionable to even make qualifiers, but he knocked off several of the kids in the other heats to finish in the 24th spot, and he was the last one to get into finals."
On Saturday, March 9, the Southington boys swim team launched themselves into the postseason like never before. Eight Knights competed over nine races, and every single one of them trimmed seconds from their qualifying times. Nine advanced to the final competition with another one clawing his way into the mix as an alternate.
The finals meet, held on Tuesday after we went to press, welcomed the biggest number of Southington swimmers in at least 15 years.
"This is the most kids that we've sent to finals in my tenure and as long as I can remember at Southington High School," said Tuttle. "We had a state open champion last year, but we're sending a greater volume of kids to finals this year. That's a tremendous accomplishment. We had kids who were questionable just to get into the qualifiers ended up putting in great performances and getting into the finals."
Bryan Adie led the way with four finals berths. He dropped almost a full second in the 50 freestyle (23.07) to reach the finals, and he advanced as a member of three relays. Vladislav Kiveliyk advanced to the finals in the 200 freestyle (1:52.42), the 100 butterfly (56.74), and a relay.
Up and down the roster, Southington posted best times. Ed Klein dropped more than a second to advance to finals in the 100 backstroke (59.27). Matt Duszak dropped almost three seconds in the breaststroke (1:04.75).
Klein, Duszak, and Adie teamed with Kolton Jankowski to set a new mark in the 200 medley relay (1:47.01) to reach the finals. Adie, Joe Taglia, Jankowski, and Kiveliyk pared more than three seconds off their previous time in the 200 freestyle relay (1:34.19) to reach the final meet. Taglia, Klein, and Adie partnered with Adam Sokolowski to trim three seconds off their time in the 400 freestyle relay (3:33.44) to advance.
"This is exactly what I was hoping for. We were looking to have kids drop times, and we were looking to get kids into the finals," said Tuttle. "We were hoping for as many as we could get. Conservatively, I was hoping to get two or three into the finals, but we're sending someone in all but two events."
Even when they didn't reach the finals, Southington swimmers continued to set personal bests. Golos reached the finals in the 500 freestyle and just missed in the 200 freestyle despite trimming almost two seconds off his qualifying score (1:56.11). Taglia set a best time in the 50 freestyle (23.55) and just missed the cut. Jankowski dropped two seconds off his time in the 100 breaststroke (1:06.74) and still has a chance to compete as the first alternate in that event, but all three advanced in other events.
"We did great. I knew that we were going to have a strong meet, and we absolutely did—perhaps even stronger than anticipated," said the coach. "We had nothing but best times, and it wasn't just by a little bit. We had some best times by significant drops, and it was everybody. There wasn't a single athlete that didn't swim above his best time."
Despite their efforts, Tuttle said that it will still take some work to return to the state opens. No Knight advanced to a medal heat. Each one will have to pare time or climb the rankings to secure a berth into the state open competition, but Tuttle remains optimistic. The Knights surpassed expectations at the qualifying meet. Who's to say they can't do it again?
"There are no guarantees, and it's a small window of opportunity this year because the field is so fast," said the coach. "Just look at the 50 freestyle. There were 52 kids that qualified for the automatic time, and they make those times to try to aim for 36 kids at the qualifying meet. Usually, they don't even get 36 to qualify and they have to use the next best kids to fill out the field. It's a really fast field this year."
No matter what happens at the finals, Tuttle said that the team has exceeded his wildest expectations.
"It isn't like we haven't been a team in the past, but this is the most cohesive group that I've been a part of," he said. "In terms of the number of people that we have performing at a high level, this team has a greater number of kids than even I could have expected. We don't necessarily have an easy state open bid in there like we had last year with Mike Smigelski, but we've got more kids at finals than ever."
Now comes the fun part…

Taking courses online or in a manner apart from the traditional on-campus setting often requires a different approach for all students. These courses are typically taught in a way that does not provide regular contact with the instructor or day-to-day tasks as on-campus courses do. Any student who wishes to take a distance education class must have excellent time management skills, be willing to spend time planning in advance and also be proficient with computers, technology, and the internet. Some campus resources such as the Learning Center, DS, and the Adaptive Computer Technology lab can assist you with developing these skills before you register for a distance education course.
For students with disabilities, the typical classroom accommodations that are frequently provided may not be applicable or may need to be facilitated in a different manner. All accommodations for students with disabilities are determined on an individualized basis. Students are advised to contact DS either before the class begins or at the beginning of the semester to discuss appropriate accommodations. Information regarding the type of accommodations generally given to students by disability type is available.
Students with disabilities may need assistive technology while taking online courses. While technology for a personal computer is not provided by the university, staff at the Adapted Computer Technology Lab can provide assistance. Contact Carlos Taylor, Ball State's Adapted Computer Technology Specialist (firstname.lastname@example.com; 765-285-6124) to learn about technology that may be of assistance to you as you take online courses.
Important reminders for students when considering taking distance education courses:
• Before registering for distance education courses, talk with either the professor or staff in Distance Education to determine if taking a course in this manner is best for you. Distance education courses give students a great deal of independence, thus the ability to be self-motivated and highly organized is of the utmost importance. If this is not how you learn and study best, taking a distance education course may not be wise for you.
• For students needing regular contact with the instructor or extensive tutoring, distance education may not be the best approach. While instructors will communicate electronically, they are not always immediately available to provide assistance or clarification. Tutoring is offered to all students through Ball State's Learning Center, but options for distance education students are limited.
• With courses that are taught on the Internet, students are often expected to contribute regularly to chat rooms. This requires a level of comfort with technology. Online courses may be intimidating for someone who doesn't have basic technological competencies.
• Some courses may require some work outside of home. This could include taking exams at a different location, doing research at a library, or having a face to face meeting with the instructor. Transportation options should be considered before registering for courses taught off-campus.
• If you need assistive technology to participate in the course (screen reader, adapted keyboard, voice activated input, etc.), make sure that your program is compatible with what the university is using.
• If you need an accommodation for the course (testing accommodations, textbooks in an alternate format, etc.), contact DS to request this. Advance planning is critical to ensuring that accommodations are provided in a timely manner.

My limited (and perhaps incorrect) understanding is that SMP denotes more than one processor, regardless the number of cores that the processor has. Heterogenous, to me, implies a cluster of machines running different operating systems and/or different architectures. As an example, my personal is three Opteron systems, each of which has two single core CPU's, all running OpenSUSE 10.2 64-bit. This is a homogenous cluster of SMP machines. I plan to add a dual core, single CPU Athlon (64) system to the cluster at some point. This planned machine would (in my opinion) not be SMP (although the more I think about it, the more I think I am either wrong or in the minority camp about SMP and cores) and the cluster would remain homogenous even if I were to put OpenSUSE 11.0 (64 bit) on the system (the new OpenSUSE release and my projected budget have similar timescales). Even if I were to use an Intel Pentium system of whatever nomenclature that is instruction compatible with my existing Opterons (the difficulty in immediately knowing whether a Pentium chip is 64-bit capable or not is one of the reasons I am sticking with AMD) the system would remain homogenous. If, however, I were to add a Sun SPARC machine as a node, now I have a heterogenous cluster. Likewise, if my new Athlon (64) node used Solaris (for Intel), the cluster would be heterogenous in my opinion. My rule of thumb for heterogeneity is whether the programs to be run need to be recompiled for a given node. If all of the nodes can use one single compile of all of the codes needed, the cluster is not heterogenous. I guess this would mean that running a 32-bit program (I want karma for minding my usage of code vs. program here! :) ) on a mixture of 32-bit and 64-bit machines would be homogenous, but if on the same cluster, the 32-bit machines ran a 32-bit program and the 64-bit machines ran a 64-bit program then that cluster might be considered heterogenous. I hope this at least sparks an interesting conversation, Mark Kosmowski

Oxford Collapse Say Goodbye
It's with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to Oxford Collapse. The band has announced that their last two shows will be July 17 and 18 in Hoboken and NYC respectively. After releasing two albums on Kanine (Some WIlderness in 2004 and A Good Ground in 2005), the boys from Brooklyn released their first album on Sub Pop, Remember The Night Parties, in 2006 and followed it up in 2008 with Bits. I will particularly miss their fondness for road food (especially hot wings) and their tendency to only refer to each other as "asshole" on stage. Thanks for the good times, boyz.
Official band statement:
Hej friends,
After eight years, 450 shows, and four albums, we've decided that we've reached the end of the line. To paraphrase the Grateful Dead, "what a long, strange, eye-opening, stomach-bursting, heart-breaking, bittersweet, educational, enlightening, mind-numbing, 'why-are-we-doing-this-shit?' / 'who-gets-to-do-this-shit?,' absurd, amazing trip it's been." To paraphrase another sage poet, "you gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em."
Thanks go out to a million friends—all the awesome, talented people who helped us make records and put them out, everyone who put together tours for us, our families (who are still wondering when we will get real jobs), all the other wonderful and terrible bands we've loved touring, playing, hanging and eating with over the years. And of course a heartfelt thanks to everyone who ever came to see us play, bought something we were selling, said something nice, or let us sleep on their diarrhea-encrusted floors. (Except you, Branson, Missouri!)
To have one final go of it, the three of us are meeting up for a pair of shows in and around the city we called home in our time. Come out and party with us! Seriously, do not miss!!! Friday July 17th we are very psyched to be playing with old and dear friends Frightened Rabbit at Maxwell's, and Saturday July 18th, for our last show ever, we'll share the stage with best buds CaUSE Co-MOTION!, under-age phenoms The Beets, and our beloved Rape Excape, freshly reformed from the rubble of Princeton '04; plus a bunch of special guests! If you missed the original Last Waltz in '76, now's your chance!

Blackhawks savor 3-OT win over Bruins
CHICAGO — Long after the celebration was over, Marian Hossa finally made it home and managed to fall asleep around 3 a.m. The Chicago star woke up a few hours later, roused by a noisy neighbor.
"I think my neighbor decided he was going to drill in the morning. That was really unpleasant," Hossa said Thursday. "You know, hopefully, he is going to get the message for next time, he won't drill. Feel a little tired today."
It's OK, Marian. Everyone was a little tired after a rousing start to the Stanley Cup finals.
Chicago and Boston played three overtimes Wednesday night in the fifth-longest game in the history of the NHL's marquee series. It finally came to an end — at the stroke of midnight, no less — when Andrew Shaw deflected Dave Bolland's shot into the goal to give the Blackhawks the victory.
It was a deflating outcome for the Bruins, who also lost important forward Nathan Horton to an injury during the first overtime, while the Blackhawks seemed relieved that they didn't have to sit on such a heartbreaking loss for two days before Game 2 on Saturday night.
"It's one of those games being down 3-1, you come back to tie it 3-3, you feel like something was left on the table if you didn't come back and win it," forward Patrick Kane said. "The game went a long time. It's definitely a good feeling winning in the third overtime when it does go that long."The winner of Game 1 has gone on to win the title in 56 of the 73 seasons since the NHL went to a best-of-seven format for the championship series in 1939. The Blackhawks won the first two games when they beat Philadelphia to win it all in 2010.Just don't expect to see much concern coming from the Boston camp. The Bruins dropped the first two games at Vancouver in the 2011 finals, and went on to take the series in seven games."I don't think much is going to rattle our team," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "We're a pretty resilient group of guys. We live in the moment."

A soldier in the "Ghost Army" that misled and tricked the Germans and another who led months of fights behind enemy lines in Normandy are among eight World War II veterans from Louisiana who have been made knights of the Legion of Honor to honor their service in France.
"For your contributions to the liberation of France, you receive France's highest honor," Consul General Jean-Claude Brunet told the veterans and family members at a ceremony Wednesday at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans.
Brunet presented the medals to Frank J. Peragine, Al F. Goudeau, and Ervin Aden, all of New Orleans; Anderson B. Wilson of Slidell; Albert L. Lasseigne of Houma; Joseph C. Latiolais of Breaux Bridge; John T. Remel of Gonzales; and the brothers of the late Joseph Reich of Covington.
The government of France decided several years ago that all American World War II veterans who fought in that country or contributed to its liberation are eligible for the medal, created in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte to reward extraordinary accomplishments and outstanding service to France.
Neither the French Embassy in Washington nor the American Society of the French Legion of Honor immediately returned calls asking how many veterans have been awarded the medal since then and this year. More than 100 veterans who served in France during World War II have been honored this year around the country.
After presenting the medals, Brunet offered champagne to toast Franco-American friendship while a brass quintet from the Navy Band New Orleans played an armed services medley.
Goudeau, 91, said he was an orderly, bodyguard and interpreter for a colonel in the 82nd Combat Engineers. "It was like being back in Louisiana, in Normandy," he said.
Wilson and Aden both landed in Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944.
Aden was a lieutenant in the 4th Cavalry Group, which landed on Utah Beach. For the next 55 days, according to a biography from the museum, he "led his troop in fierce fighting across Normandy," fighting continuously, often behind enemy lines. He was seriously wounded by a German tank during the battle to liberate Villedieu-les-Poeles.
Wilson landed at Omaha Beach with the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, which made full-size inflatable planes, tanks and heavy artillery as daylight decoys and broadcast recordings at night to simulate troop and tank movement. Wilson said he was assigned to headquarters, rather than being one of the "artists" making decoys or the sound crew in charge of nighttime broadcasts.
He was among 1,023 enlisted men in a unit with 82 officers.
"We would go in and replace a division of 8,000 to 12,000 men with those 1,100," he said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "With all of the artistry and inflated tanks and artillery pieces and jeeps and airplanes, we would just replace a division. And they would pull out and attack in another location."
The fakes had to be near enough to the front lines for the enemy to see them, but far enough to fool them.
"We did work wherever we could pull off a foolery," he said. "They taught us to lie so much that you don't know whether I'm telling you the truth or not."
He and other members were sworn to secrecy before the unit was disbanded in 1945. Information about the unit was declassified in 1996.
"I had two grown children before they ever knew what kind of outfit I was in," he said.
Peragine, now a retired attorney, was a 19-year-old machine gunner when the 26th Infantry Division landed in France about three months after D-Day. It was the first division to sail directly from New York to Cherbourg Harbor, which the Allies had taken, he said.
He'd been in combat less than two months when an explosive 20mm shell hit his left ankle as Gen. George Patton's Third Army fought from Nancy toward Metz and his unit "caught a terrific German barrage of mortars and machine guns."
The shell tore out his Achilles tendon, about half of his heel "and a good part of my lower left leg," hospitalizing him for 11 months, Peragine said.
Peragine said he spent about 30 hours in no-man's land before Army medics in a Red Cross truck rescued him and other soldiers. During that time, he said, one German tried to take him as a hostage. "He gave up when he saw that I couldn't stand," Peragine said.
He saw another German in the early morning. "I saw him and yelled to him for water. I was just terribly thirsty. He ran away."

Changing dimension (the two nodes not on the same ring) is a little more expensive at < 0.5us application level. Thus, running a 512 node SCI 3d torus (8x8x8 ring dimension) would give you latency in the neighbourhood of the 2nd example (ringsize 8) if you use nodes on the same ring. Worst case (almost normal case) you would have to change dimension two times adding an extra us at most. (guessing since I don't have a 512 node cluster handy for testing) Cheers, Peter PS. The numbers are from a small (8x4) athlon cluster with crappy PCI (via).
