"If there's a filing by Chrysler today, it will create a great deal of uncertainty for the industry and suppliers." –Bill Kohlder, co-chair, Butzel Long's Global Automotive Practice, as told to Reuters after Chrysler LLC announced it will file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
So it's come to this: Chrysler LLC couldn't restructure its debts with bondholders and so must file for bankruptcy protection. It's been a long, sad road for Chrysler thus far and now we enter a new and more worrisome chapter – especially for those fleets that rely on Dodge-branded light trucks to do business.
Here's why bankruptcy may prove to be more harm than good when all is said and done: in a recent poll, the majority of consumers said they don't want to buy vehicles from a bankrupt automaker. And without buyers, Chrysler – and any other automaker that goes down this road – would have no hope for recovery.
In a new study, advertising research firm Ad-ology found that 21% of the consumers it surveyed said they DEFINITELY would NOT consider buying a car from an automaker considering bankruptcy, with another 28.6% saying they PROBABLY would NOT consider buying a car from a struggling manufacturer.
Note that Ad-ology surveyed an online consumer panel of 1,225 adults in a manner that is 98% representative of the U.S. adult population from April 24-29, 2009, with the margin of error in this survey is +/- 2.2 percentage points.
Of consumers who would consider buying a car from a struggling automaker "only if they got a great deal," 38.6% said a deeply discounted price and 38.8% said a discounted/free extended warranty would make a purchase more likely, the group reported.
"It's not just out of sight, out of mind: It is worse," said C. Lee Smith, president and CEO of Ad-ology Research. "Whether it's GM, Chrysler or individual dealerships, the auto industry must stay top-of-mind to rebuild consumer confidence."
Another hurdle for automakers is that 46% of the consumers in Ad-ology's survey view a company's products or services much less or somewhat less favorably after an announcement of a large number of layoffs.
The reaction from the investment community is none too positive either, according to interviews by reporters from Reuters.
"Bankruptcy will damage the Chrysler brand and that is regrettable," noted Brian Bethune, an economist with IHS Global Insight. "The government has to think carefully about how long they can bleed Chrysler out. They need to bring some fresh blood there to lead this company."
"If it ends up being bankruptcy, why have we wasted all our time? Has the government's political process been of any benefit at all other than to waste a lot of time and money, and do we have to suffer this for every other bankruptcy?" wondered Andrew Kanaly, chairman of the Kanaly Trust Co.
"Bankruptcy is not new. It's been there all along. For some reason these days the government seems to be the only remedy when we have plenty of remedies available to us," he told Reuters. "Maybe this is a pattern that we are going to see for Ford, GM, maybe Bank of America, maybe Citi – a whole lot of hand waving, a whole lot of talking, a whole lot of hand wringing, when the bottom line is."
Kanaly believes we should just let such "failed institutions" go so the nation as a whole can get on down the road to recovery.
"It's no shocker. If you bought a Chrysler a year-ago you knew you had an issue," he said. "The American [consumer] has already voted with their feet by virtue of their purchases. They are driving down in their Honda."
Still, it is the contention of others such as Jeff Kleintop, chief market strategist at LP Financial, that the certainty of even a bankruptcy is better than the uncertainty of not knowing where this is going to go or how deep the cuts or layoffs at Chrysler might end up being.
"The fact that it's moving toward bankruptcy, the range of possibilities is being narrowed and the market always prefers certainty over uncertainty, even if it means the certainty of a negative outcome," he said. "The market is looking forward for the first time in quite a long time, and so the near-term issues around what happens with the automakers, or even the stress tests with the banks, have taken back seat to a bigger picture view by the American investor."
Time will tell of course if Chrysler survives this latest chapter in its ever-more rocky history, or gives up the ghost for good.

A total of eight Hope College students who participated in research on campus this past summer had their work selected for presentation during the recent Annual Meeting and National Student Conference of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), more than twice as many as from all other colleges and universities in Michigan combined, with two of the students receiving awards.
Sophomore Howard Dobbs of Warrenville, Ill., won second place in the "General Papers" category, and senior Lucas Johnson of Cadillac won third place in the "Environmental 1" category. This was the third consecutive year that at least one student who participated in Hope's summer research program received an award in the national competition.
The National Student Conference ran Friday-Monday, Nov. 5-8, and the Annual Meeting ran Sunday-Friday, Nov. 7-12, in Salt Lake City, Utah. The undergraduate poster session took place on Monday, Nov. 8, and featured work grouped within a variety of categories within the field of chemical engineering.
The preliminary program for the student poster session listed 216 posters. The primary presenters represented institutions in 39 states, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Qatar and Taiwan. Of the 78 colleges, universities and laboratories listed as affiliation of the primary presenter, only four institutions had more posters in the event than Hope College.
All of the participating Hope students are engineering majors in the chemical, biochemical or environmental engineering emphasis options. Three Hope faculty in chemistry, one in engineering, and one in geological and environmental sciences were mentors for one or more of the projects.
Seven of the eight students attended the conference and presented their posters: Dobbs and Johnson, as well as senior Joseph Brandonisio of Troy; senior Jonathan Boldt of Caledonia; senior Katherine Garcia of Battle Creek; junior Tabatha Hipshear of Buchanan; and senior Laura Petrasky of Marquette. Senior Brett Kopinski of Mishawaka, Ind., was not able to attend the meeting, but his poster was among those displayed.
In addition, senior Victor Kanyi of Marigat, Kenya, was a co-author of a presentation based in part upon his research work completed at Michigan State University last summer. It was presented by Venkata Pappu, a graduate student in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Material Science at MSU.
Dobbs won his second-place award in the "General Papers" category for a presentation that he co-authored with senior Kent C. Kammermeier of Grand Rapids and Dr. William F. Polik, who is the Edward and Elizabeth Hofma Professor of Chemistry.
Johnson won his third-place award in the "Environmental 1" category for a presentation that he co-authored with senior Daniel Anderson of Montague; Alexa Bakker, a senior at Holland High School who participated in summer research through the college's REACH program; Jennifer Soukhome, who teaches biology and environmental science at Zeeland West High School; and Dr. Graham F. Peaslee, who is a professor of chemistry and chairperson of the department, and a professor of geology/environmental science.
The abstracts for the Hope students' presentations are searchable via their last names at: http://aiche.confex.com/aiche/2010asc/webprogram/authora.html. The abstract for the MSU presentation that included Kanyi is available at: http://aiche.confex.com/aiche/2010/webprogram/Paper190802.html
AIChE is the world's leading organization for chemical engineering professionals, with more than 40,000 members from more than 90 countries.

Two days until the draft, and….
Lucas Nogueira is ready to learn his NBA future. At last. Without further delay.
The moment has been two years and, as of Thursday night, three drafts in coming. He was in the 2011 field, then withdrew just before the deadline. He stayed out last year. Now, after several calendars worth of scrutiny from front offices, Nogueira will hear his name called in the first round, maybe as high the teens, as the selections unfold at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.
"He feels like in the past two years he needed to grow in several different areas," Nogueira's agent, Aylton Tesch, said. "His maturity, his knowledge for the game. And after the season that he had, he feels like he has accomplished some of it and he feels ready mentally to take the next step."
The concern is whether the power forward-center from Brazil has grown enough, which is why Nogueira isn't a lock for at least the middle of the first round as a rim protector who runs the floor, has quick reflexes combined with extensive international experience. All this time later, teams still have questions about his focus and whether Nogueira is capable of actually being a difference maker or will continue to be adrift in inconsistency.
"He had heard that before, like two years ago," Tesch said. "But ever since, he changed his attitude on and off the court. Things have changed."
"His personality overall, about being more serious and more professional on the court," Tesch said.
It's not just the mental. Nogueira needs to get stronger at 220 pounds, and there may be language issues: the Brazil native does large portions of interviews in Portugese. He is asked if he is comfortable with English.
"No," Nogueira said. "So so."
He may use a translator as a rookie. On the other hand, if he comes to the NBA rather than spend another season in Spain in the second-best league in the world, at least Nogueira will be a rookie. Finally.

Roland Petit's Carmen
Paris National Opera Ballet dances Roland Petit's scandalous Carmen.
When Roland Petit's choreography for Bizet's Carmen was premiered in London in 1949 the vivid flashes of flesh and highly charged erotic scenes caused uproar. Amidst controversy, calls to ban the show and ubiquitous complaints about a lack of morality, the show was, as these things always are, a roaring success.
Now dancers of the Paris National Opera Ballet present Petit's choreography in their own production, with Clairemarie Osta and Nicolas Le Riche starring in lead roles. It is an intense and vivid presentation with music from Orchestre Colonne conducted by Paul Connelly.

Hope College is a liberal arts institution committed to being a rigorous academic community of faith and learning in the Reformed tradition. Standing within the historic Christian faith and in covenant with the Reformed Church in America, Hope College believes that Holy Scripture occupies a privileged position as the only final authority for the faith and practice of the people of God and thus, for all aspects of the Hope College community.
Sexuality, including longing and expression, is a good gift from God and a fact of our existence affirmed in the Christian scriptures and by the Church throughout the centuries. This biblical witness calls us to a life of chastity among the unmarried and the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman. This interpretation parallels the official position of the College's founding denomination, the Reformed Church in America; its sister denomination, the Christian Reformed Church; and the Roman Catholic Church. Accordingly, Hope College will not recognize or support campus groups whose aim by statement, practice, or intimation is to promote a vision of human sexuality that is contrary to this understanding of biblical teaching.
Furthermore, the College in its policies, practices, and common life invites the entire Hope community to a renewed encounter with the biblical witness regarding human sexuality.
Hope College promotes the indispensable value of intellectual freedom and recognizes that there are Christians who take scripture seriously and hold other views. Hope College affirms the scholarly examination and discussion of all issues surrounding human sexuality even if they differ from the institutional position. The College provides safe places for the Hope community to discuss issues of human sexuality as well as educational programming on a variety of human sexuality issues.
Hope College affirms the dignity of every person as a creature made in the image of God and thus worthy of our earnest respect, our insistent protection, and our self-sacrificing love.

When Thalberg Elementary school teacher Linda Bass-Reilly was presented with Southington's Teacher of the Year award she was all at once humbled, honored and a little overwhelmed.
"I was shaking and everything went in slow motion for a moment," she said.
A teacher for 30 years, Linda Bass-Reilly knows deep down what she loves most about her job.
"It sounds simple, but I just love the children," she said. "I love watching my students grow emotionally and mentally each year."
She says all children are gifted in different ways and embraces this. Two of her students wrote and produced a play this past school year and assigned parts for every class member.
Thalberg intern Tony Arru, who will be working as Linda's intern next spring, considers her a teaching master.
"She never raises her voice, is always calm and holds an all-inclusive atmosphere in her classroom," Arru said.
Bass-Reilly is very involved with the Southington Community Center, the Miss Southington Ambassador Program, the Orchard Valley Garden Club and the Northeast Organic Farming Association. Her love of gardening led her to envision an outdoor classroom where Thalberg's students can learn to respect and appreciate nature, and learn about recycling, composting and gardening 101.
Students love the wheelchair accessible garden, from the students at Oak Hill, a school located inside Thalberg for students with mental and physical challenges, to monthly visitors from Orchard Valley Garden Club who bring a lesson and supplies for students.
Taking care of the garden is a school wide activity. Thalberg kindergarteners learn about butterflies in the garden, first, second and third graders planted a vegetable garden and fourth and fifth graders are invited to care for the garden as an alternate recess activity.
Students receive hands on learning, studying about seeds then planting them to watch and record their growth year round.
Combining old school teaching style with modern day technology, Bass-Reilly secured a grant for three iPads which are used to research when to plant certain flowers and download bird call apps to easily identify the garden's birds.
Bass-Reilly's students compiled their annual research and produce a 30 page e-book, "Our School Garden," which is available online.
"Linda loves to interact with her students on all levels," said Dawn Brown, a paraprofessional at Thalberg. "She nurtures the students as much as she nurtures her garden."

Chestnut Hiller Elijah Anderson, a professor of sociology at Yale University, is one of the nation's leading urban ethnographers and cultural theorists. He has written many books – several about Philadelphia – and his most recent one, "The Cosmopolitan Canopy: Race and Civility In Everyday Life," describes places in Philadelphia that provide diverse peoples who might not ordinarily mix, mingle, and possibly meet, a place where this happens automatically.
Rittenhouse Square, he says, is such a "canopy." Walking, sitting, playing amongst one another are young and old, black, brown, Caucasian and Asian, the homeless and condo owners, rich and poor, four legged and two legged, and, occasionally, the one legged. The Reading Terminal Market is another canopy, says Anderson.
But Starbucks? "Yes," I say. The Chestnut Hill Starbucks is a canopy for sure.
I moved to this area 16 years ago after living and maintaining my private practice in psychotherapy on the Main Line for 25 years. Compared to the suburbs, the Chestnut Hill-Mt. Airy communities are like the UN.
I'm a regular at the Starbucks. I like the coffee. I use their WiFi. And I like the daily greetings: "Hi, Susan!" from the baristas to whom I say in return "How's it going Randy, or Kathryn, or Hal?" among another 10 or so. It's the closest thing to "Cheers" I've ever experienced.
Case in point: One recent Sunday, I was at the 'Bucks working on my computer. I call it my office away from home. Rent is on the low end, really, even with an occasional "vente half caf four shot cappuccino." On this Sunday, an older (than I) Caucasian couple passed my table and addressed the young African American man at the table to my left who was busy writing on his computer.
"Are you writing a great American novel?" the white gentleman asked, smiling.
The black man responded that he was completing his doctoral thesis. "About …?" the male passerby asked.
From what I could hear the thesis was about the ways people arriving here from several African nations respond to racism. Partially concentrating on what I was writing, partially eavesdropping, I couldn't make out what else was said; but mostly, I was responding internally to the ways in which this conversation was reminiscent of Anderson's canopy concept.
The conversation seemed to be drawing to a close. I figured I had less than a minute to decide whether I wanted to jump in.
"Excuse me," I said. "I heard the word 'race' and my ears perked up."
I asked the three whether they knew each other, though I suspected they didn't. I was right. I mentioned my interest in Anderson's canopy idea. We all introduced ourselves, shook hands, and talked a bit more.
When the couple left, the doctoral candidate and I continued to speak. He asked me what I was writing, which happened to be an article about the neuroscience behind our fear of "the other." We wished each other well and, sitting next to one another, continued our work. This is just one of my many experiences under the canopy.
Several years ago, Chestnut Hill Starbucks hired a young deaf woman. I felt warmhearted each time I connected with her from her post behind the cash register. For me and for most customers I assume, it was a connection and communication of a different kind. Eye contact seemed more direct, speech slower, and another language between two people who might not have had the chance to communicate was explored, thus contributing to the canopy.
I've asked myself, is it because I'm not shy that I meet and talk to so many people I'd not ordinarily meet? Perhaps. Maybe it's because for many years I've been a student of improv, so that connecting on the spot in different kinds of circumstances is not difficult for me. But when standing in line at Starbucks, it seems easy and natural to smile at the person behind or in front of you, if not to speak.
That's how I met Elijah Anderson. He was standing in front of me in the coffee line one day. We didn't know each other. When he turned around I saw his Yale sweatshirt.
"Yale isn't really all that great, you know," I said, smiling.
"Where did you go, Harvard?" he answered, without missing a beat.
"Yes," I replied nonchalantly.
And we both laughed. We spoke post coffee line, and he told me that he had just taken the position at Yale after having been in the Sociology Department at Penn for a number of years. Our discussion ended with his inviting me to sit in on one of his last classes at Penn.
Several years later, I was drinking my coffee and overheard a very stimulating conversation between two African American men at the table to my right.
"Excuse me," I said to them. "I couldn't help hearing what you said about …" Another conversation ensued. The younger of the two men was a professor at a university in Pittsburgh. As soon as we began to speak, I recognized the other. It was Anderson.
"We met here, in line for coffee, several years ago. Do you remember?"
And he did. All under the same canopy. After this second meeting, we've corresponded several times.
If you come into Starbucks, I'm usually sitting on one of the bench seats across from the assorted pastries and foods. I hope you'll stop to say hello, if I don't beat you to it. I'm a Caucasian woman "of a certain age," 5 feet, 1 inch, with long brown hair and rimless glasses. I'd like to meet you.
And thank you, Chestnut Hill Starbucks for creating a canopy for us to connect with each other's humanity. Keep spreading the canopy even further. And when I finish my great American novel, there will be a special thank you to all the folks behind the counter by name, young and old, black, Caucasian, Latino and Asian, wearing caps or head wraps, some hearing perfectly and like me, some not.
Susan Karol Martel, Ed.M., is a writer and columnist and has practiced psychotherapy for more than 35 years, the last 16 under the canopies of Chestnut Hill, Mt. Airy, and Germantown. She is a Harvard grad without an identifying sweatshirt. She'd love to hear about your "canopy moments" if you'd be willing to share them at email@example.com. Her website is www.skmarteledm.com.

Is high-fructose corn syrup really worse than sugar?
By: Michelle Edelbaum
Friday, January 15, 2010
Video: See What All Sweeteners Do To Your Body
Is sugar just sugar, even if it's high-fructose corn syrup? I thought the answer was no, that high-fructose corn syrup is worse than regular sugar or honey or even plain corn syrup and I should avoid it. And let's not even get into
sugar substitutes
But last night I was watching TV and saw a commercial from the Corn Refiners Association saying that high-fructose corn syrup is no worse for me than regular sugar. (See the commercials for yourself at sweetsurprise.com.) Could it be true?
I asked one of EatingWell's nutrition experts to help me sort out fact from hype.
We recently wrote about high-fructose corn syrup
, and it generated an overwhelming, and impassioned, response from our readers.
Author Joyce Hendley's piece helped me get my facts right and hopefully will help you sort out fact from fiction. I've included the report here so you can see the facts for yourself:
• High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a manmade sweetener
that's found in a wide range of processed foods, from ketchup and cereals to crackers and salad dressings. It also sweetens just about all of the (regular) soda Americans drink. HFCS used in foods is between 50 to 55 percent fructose-so chemically, it's virtually identical to table sugar (sucrose), which is 50 percent fructose. Metabolic studies suggest our bodies break down and use HFCS and sucrose the same way.
• Yet, after HFCS began to be widely introduced into the food supply 30-odd years ago, obesity rates skyrocketed.
And because the sweetener is so ubiquitous, many blame HFCS for playing a major role in our national obesity epidemic. As a result, some shoppers equate HFCS with "toxic waste" when they see it on a food label. But when it comes right down to it, a sugar is a sugar is a sugar. A can of soda contains around nine teaspoons of sugar in the form of HFCS-but, from a biochemical standpoint, drinking that soda is no worse for you than sipping home-brewed iced tea that you've doctored with nine teaspoons of table sugar.
But what is soda doing to your bones? Click here to find out.
• Even Barry Popkin, Ph.D., a nutrition professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who previously suggested
, in an influential 2004 paper, a possible HFCS-obesity link, stresses that the real obesity problem doesn't lie just with HFCS. Rather, it's the fact that sugars from all sources have become so prevalent in our food supply, especially in our beverages. He scoffs at the "natural" sweeteners sometimes added to upscale processed foods like organic crackers and salad dressings. "They all have the same caloric effects as sugar," he explains. "I don't care whether something contains concentrated fruit juice, brown sugar, honey or HFCS. The only better sweetener option is 'none of the above.'"
Can honey help you lose weight, improve your allergies or help your cough? Find out.
At EatingWell, it's our philosophy to keep any sweeteners we use in
our recipes
to a minimum-and likewise, to limit processed foods with added sugars of any type, including HFCS. We recommend you do the same.

Suede's 'Bloodsports' review: Return to '90s Britpop
Add Suede to the growing list of unexpected British rock comebacks in 2013, alongside David Bowie and My Bloody Valentine.
It's been 11 years since Brett Anderson and friends released a Suede album and nearly 20 years -- yes, "Dog Man Star" came out in 1994 -- since the band was a major rock force. "Bloodsports" (Fontana) is a return to those heady days in the mid-'90s, when Suede's huge stadium-rock choruses and Anderson's New Romantic-influenced vocals took them to the top of the British charts, though, sadly, there's no reunion with original guitarist Bernard Butler.
"Snowblind" sounds like it could have come from the band's debut album, like Gene Loves Jezebel crossed with U2, angular, experimental rock verses welded to a sing-along chorus. "It Starts and Ends With You" is straightforward Britpop, catchy rock that's perfect for hopping up and down in huge crowds at a football match and waving the Union Jack.
"For the Strangers" will also have you waxing nostalgic for the "Cool Britannia" days, with Anderson approximating Morrissey-esque drama in his vocals over chiming Edge-like guitars.
With all that energy in the front half of "Bloodsports," the album does get bogged down toward the end in a series of similar ballads, though the massiveness of "Sometimes I Feel I'll Float Away" does show us where early Muse may have come from and why it is so good to have Suede back.
BOTTOM LINE Like '90s Britpop never ended

|Anatomical Heart from The Graphics Fairy
Growing up my mother cried at the drop of a hat. She cried at her favorite TV shows: The Little House on the Prairie, The Waltons and Highway to Heaven. She cried at special events like my choir concerts or graduations. She would even cry at songs on the radio. It drove me crazy. Mostly because I was not born with the ability to sooth people who are crying so I didn't know how to respond. I just felt awkward. And now, I am that person.
There are so many things that get me right here...is this big ol' heart. In fact, I've noticed it's the little things that get me to tear up.
School pick up and drop off get me nearly everyday. My watery eyes started here with the sadness of dropping off my oldest for his first day of school. I had spent every waking moment with that boy for five years and it was hard to say goodbye...if only for a few hours. I soon got over that hump, but it wasn't long before I teared up for another reason: seeing the commonality of love. Every morning I walk my son to school and I watch as other parents drop off the most important people in their life. There are hugs, kisses, "have a good days." I suppose it is the knowledge that we are all the same in small ways. We all love our children and only wish the best for them. There is an overwhelming feeling of love each morning at 8:00 and it gets me every time...right here.

Nothing More Rise to the Surface With 'This Is the Time (Ballast)' Video
Nothing More are quickly rising to the surface with their current single 'This Is the Time (Ballast),' and the video for the track gives you a more visual representation of that struggle. The clip, which may be one of the wettest videos in rock history, just debuted and you can see it above.
The video is a mix of two worlds -- one in which frontman Jonny Hawkins emerges from near drowning in the ocean while chained to a chunk of rock that has been keeping him submerged and another world in which the band perform while themselves being continually drenched by pouring water throughout the clip. As can be seen, Hawkins and Nothing More do eventually make it to the surface, but not without a fight.
The San Antonio four-piece are making a rapid ascent into the rock world, with the band's self-titled release set to drop on June 24. If you like the single, it's currently available for purchase on iTunes, and you pick up more Nothing More swag at this location.
Look for Nothing More building their reputation even further on the road this spring. The band will be sharing stages with Chevelle, Killswitch Engage and more on dates in April and May. For their current itinerary, check here.

text: Multi-core, I lie awake at night thinking about this stuff. There seem to be no quick answers. The thing that amazes me about multi-core is how many people consider the performance of a single process to be a good measure of total processor performance. If you are going to by a quad-core CPU to run one process at a time, then this is good test otherwise it is like predicting performance of your code on cluster by running it on the head node as single serial job. Over the past 8-10 months I have had the chance to test Intel quad-core, AMD dual core (soon I'll have some Barcelona's) and here are my conclusions. The details of what I found are in my columns in Linux Magazine, which is slowly making its way to the LM web site (and eventually ClusterMonkey): - how well multiple processes run (use memory) on quad-core is very application specific. I have a simple test script that calculates what I call "effective cores". I have seen these results range from about 2-7 on a dual socket quad-core Intel system (8 cores total) and a quad socket dual core AMD system (8 cores total). - running a single copy of the NAS FT benchmark on a clovertown was much faster than a comparable Opteron. But, running a parallel MPI version of FT on 8 cores showed the AMD system to be faster. - on Intel quad-cores where the process is placed can have large effect on performance. This is largely due to the fact that you have four dual core woodcrests each with it's own cache. Naturally, if you have four processes running it is best if each one gets its own woodcrest. To the OS the all look the same. Other than Intel MPI, I don't know of any other MPI that attempts to optimize this. Open MPI has some processor affinity but it is not all that sophisticated (yet). - again depending on the application, GigE may not sufficient to support the amount of traffic that multi-core can generate. So if your code ran well on GigE, it may not on a multi-core cluster. Things like IB or Myrinet 10GigE may be needed. Please note, I am not trying to pick a winner, were that even possible. I want to state that more than ever testing your code(s) in parallel on these systems is critical if you want to get optimal performance. One other thing I found as well. I recently ran the NAS parallel benchmarks on a dual socket quad core Intel system (8 cores total) using both the OpenMP (GNU 4.2) and MPI (LAM) libraries. Anyone want to guess what produced the best results? -- Doug > Hi everybody, > > As you may be aware of, Intel has reduced the price of its Quad CPUs, > dramatically. > > Does anyone have any experience using Intel Quad-Core CPUs in a Beowulf > Cluster? > > Do you prefer these ones over AMD Opteron? > > Essentially, are Intel Quad CPUs having really FOUR cores?

Dragon Age: Inquisition coming fall 2014
Dragon Age: Inquisition is coming in fall of 2014, EA announced today.
Today at Electronic Arts' E3 press conference, the company announced that Dragon Age: Inquisition will launch in fall of 2014. It showed off the first trailer for the game, in which the sky opened up and allowed in some monsters into the world. Morrigan made an appearance as well, asking if the player will save the world. (We're guessing yes, or there is no game).
A tweet following the announcement confirmed that it's coming to a wide variety of platforms: PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
Steve Watts posted a new article, Dragon Age: Inquisition coming fall 2014.

Great Britain's winter sports stars are on target to set new medal records in Pyeongchang in 2018 after seeing their funding levels more than doubled by UK Sport.
Eight sports will benefit from just over £31million of investment over the next four-year cycle, an increase of over £15m from the sum which helped yield a total of 10 British medals at this year's Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sochi.
UK Sport's director of performance Simon Timson said: "I think we can safely say now that we have the best ever cohort of British Winter Olympic and Paralympic athletes, supported by the strongest set of programmes in winter sports, that we have ever had.
"That doesn't mean there aren't challenges and hard work to be done by all the athletes and the very committed staff and coaches in order to turn the ambitions that have been expressed to us into a record medal haul at the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Pyeongchang.
"But the fact we can say today we are aiming at a record haul in Pyeongchang is a reflection on what the sports are telling us - that we have the athletes and the programmes and we genuinely believe we have that opportunity."
Skeleton will remain the single biggest beneficiary with an award of £6,549,617, followed by £5,389,450 for curling and £4,890,326 for ski-snowboard.
Wheelchair curling, bobsleigh, figure skating, short-track and para-skiing will also receive funding towards Pyeongchang, although the reward for the latter four is contingent on strict conditions being met by the end of year one of the cycle.
Furthermore, the near £5million award to British Ski & Snowboard is presented with the caveat that it is directed solely to its slopestyle and halfpipe programmes, which yielded the nation's first medal on snow for Jenny Jones in Sochi, plus a number of other notable performances.
Timson added: "It is a reflection on the considerable success headlined by Jenny Jones' medal and a fifth place for James Woods while carrying a significant injury.
"We have a real cohort of talented athletes here and we have a real opportunity to cement our place at the forefront of the world order in snowboard, and we are very excited to be working with British Ski & Snowboard to make that happen."
British athletes matched the nation's best medal count at a Winter Games with four in Sochi, while the nation's six Winter Paralympic medals included a first gold courtesy of para-skier Kelly Gallagher and her guide Charlotte Evans.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 170 diseños de 47 diseñadores freelance.
National Child Support Enforcement Association (NCSEA) http://www.ncsea.org
We are a national association supporting professionals and government agencies (state and county) that manage child support enforcement. Our fundamental belief is that both parents are responsible for the emotional and financial support of their children. We believe that the best interests of the children come first and individual interests should be secondary when parental or professional interests differ. We profess ourselves as "The Voice of the Child Support Community." We have been in existence since 1975.
Our primary audience is federal level policy makers, elected officials, and the public at large. We also provide education, information and training to professionals in child support which includes public sector (government employees) as well as in the private sector (contractors to government agencies.)
We are looking for a professionally designed logo that incorporates the idea of children being supported. A logo that will reproduce well in black and white as well as look good in color is preferable. The logo MUST include our acronym (NCSEA), and if the full name (National Child Support Enforcement Association) is not used, then our tag line must be included: "The Voice of the Child Support Community." It is quite possible that in the next year or so, the word "enforcement" will be removed from our name - so the logo should work if the "E' is eventually removed.
The files we will require are
Print format (CMYK)= .eps
Web format (RGB)= .jpg
Please do not use stock images or clip art in the logo.

I'm often impressed by the knowledge and skill of people who design and build hydraulic systems. The power and control capabilities of these machines is truly impressive, but some of the skill that goes into them looks like a work of art.
There's just something about an array of tube assemblies parallel and with elbows perfectly aligned. I've made a few tubing assemblies for my home's plumbing system, so I can appreciate the skill and expertise that go into cutting a tube to just the right length, bending it to a precise 90°, and assembling it into a perfectly (or in my case, less than perfectly) aligned assembly.
I just learned of a new tool that should make work easier for designers of tubing assemblies — a new iPhone app. Looks like it's quite useful, and it's free. Developed by tube bending machinery specialist Unison Ltd., Eastfield, England, the calculator lets users quickly and easily determine the tooling needed for performing a particular bending task on any type or make of tube bender. By simply entering the bend radius, tube diameter, and wall thickness (in metric or imperial units), users can instantly gain a clear visual representation of the type of mandrel and wiper die they will need to achieve a perfect bend.
Compatible with any iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad running IOS 4.0 or later, the tube bending tooling calculator will be regularly updated with new features and functions. Already under development are user-selectable tube profiles and material types — such as steel, stainless steel, copper, etc — that will allow machine-specific calculations, such as bending force requirements.
Version 1.0 of the calculator can be downloaded free of charge from Apple's iTunes App Store. Click here, then enter tube bending tooling calculator into the search window Users are also encouraged to sign up for free updates and to suggest future enhancements to Unison by emailing [email protected].

Mediakzar necessitava di un nuovo design di logo e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 160 design presentati da 37 designer.
We are a husband & wife turning our labor of love website into (hopefully) more of a commercial money-making venture. We are in the process of redesigning the web page and would like to include a new logo on the new website as a part of our makeover. A beta version is now up that you can view. One of the unique features of our website it that all reviews reflect actual experience.
Our background includes many years of experience working for advertising agencies but in the media (non-creative) department.
Our website should appeal to travelers planning a trip to Mexico; particularly Quintana Roo or the Yucatan.
We are looking for a logo represent our website – mxtravel.com.
1. No Cartoons - we want to present a professional image
2. While not a copy, we attempted to style our website along similar lines as tripadvisor..
3. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out.
Here are examples of logos that we like:
adidas - http://www.free-extras.com/images/a…go-659.htm
Northface - http://www.goodlogo.com/images/logo…o_2378.gif
Here is an example of what we are trying to avoid:
Colors – have a look at the website and pick colors that go with the basic color scheme there.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
