When live performances kicked off Monday night on "The Voice," the dwindling singing hopefuls left weren't taking any chances, at least not if their no-holds-barred performances were any indication.
The members of Team Blake and Team Adam were singing for their shot at sticking around in the competition Monday. The members of Teams CeeLo and Christina are set to perform Tuesday.
And what Adam's and Blake's teams didn't have in the way of gender diversity — there are only three women among the team's collective ten members — they made up for in stylistic diversity and performance intensity.
After Christina Aguilera herself kicked off the night with a performance of "How I Feel" alongside Flo Rida, Team Blake's lone lady Shelbie Z. prepared to head to the stage with an outlaw country riff on the Reba McEntire hit "Fancy."
Blake warned Shelbie that she'd need to sound massively confident to pull it off. "Do [Reba] proud," he advised. "No pressure!"
After she took her take on "Fancy" onstage, replete with her pouty strut, the coaches agreed that Shelbie succeeded at that.
"There's no doubt that when you get on that stage, you bring it home," Christina told her.
Next up was one of the boys of Team Adam, college dropout turned Apple store geek James Wolpert. A former singer in an a cappella group, James gravitated toward stripped-down arrangements, but he also said he felt naked without a guitar. The solution: A take on Joni Mitchell's lovelorn classic "A Case of You."
Christina called James' crystal-clear performance of the song "heart-warming" and gave him credit for having "ground yourself in the song." But Adam's praise was warmest.
"I knew there was something in you that we hadn't seen yet," he said, crediting James with a major comeback from a shaky performance in the knockout rounds. "You came back, did something incredibly bold, and you were so controlled and had so much poise and were so incredibly elegant."
Next up was James' one-time teammate Nic Hawk, now an unlikely member of Team Blake, replete with his David Bowie-esque hair (mid-'70s era, that is), infectiously bouncy stage presence and uncanny rapping abilities.
"He's gonna be a triple threat going into the live shows," Blake predicted of Nic, thanks his singing, rapping and dancing chops. He assigned Nic to sing Robin Thicke's hit "Blurred Lines." ("We're gonna try to get Miley to come in here and twerk on you," Blake promised, to Nic's amusement.)
On-stage, Nic gave an oddball take on the all-too-familiar hit, along with a mid-song rap that sounded like a misplaced Left-Eye rhyme from a TLC hit. ("That's T.I.," Nic explained to Christina, who may not have recognized it sans profanity. "I cleaned it up a bit.")
Nic's performance — not just of Robin Thicke's part but of T.I.'s, too — wowed the coaches, not least his own. "You're the complete entertainer; I can't say it enough. O.M.G.," Blake said.
A very different Team Blake boy, young father and "swamp-pop" singer Ray Boudreaux, was up next, with a take on a hit by another bayou-inflected singer from his own hometown of Lafayette, La.: "Home" by Marc Broussard.
After Ray finished his performance, Christina praised him for his "realness," Adam for pulling off a "hard song" with aplomb and Blake for the fact that he has built awareness of the Delta blues style he so loves, all with his "soulful" style.
Another soulful member of Team Blake from across the country hit the stage after Ray. That performer was Austin Jenckes, a scooter tour guide with a Paul Bunyan air. Blake assigned him to sing the Black Crowes' "She Talks to Angels."
"He maintains his strength, and he's got a tender side," Blake commented before Austin performed, and after he did, Christina made a similar observation. "You sing, Austin, with so much heart," she said.
Next came another several members of Team Adam, starting with one of its two women, Grey, a wedding singer who wanted to break out of the wedding band mold. In the hopes of pushing her out of her safety zone of covers and into edgier territory, he tasked her with performing Paramore's "Still Into You."
"Grey needs to perform this song and convince us that she can do it all, because I think she could be the dark horse in this competition," Adam explained.
Onstage, she performed with her trademark comfort and ease, and the coaches praised her confident vocals and playful spirit on the song.
Her teammate Will Champlin — member of Team Adam by way of Team Christina by way of Team Adam, if that makes any sense — came next, well aware that as a singer who had stood on the precipice not once but twice and been stolen both times, he needed to give a stellar performance.
For that, he picked OneRepublic's song "Secrets," which he'd come up with a piano arrangement and stage plan for. ("As a musician, piano is my passion," he said.) The tack won over the coaches, with CeeLo calling his performance "very dynamic, very definitive."
"You deserve to be here as much as anybody else," Adam said. "You have a very special gift."
Team Adam's longtime Christian rocker Preston Pohl was performing next, ready to celebrate his dad's apparent victory after a battle with cancer.
"Preston is a unique singer," Adam remarked of his charge. "He's in the business of making things his."
He did that on "The Voice" stage with B.o.B.'s hit "Nothing on You," earning plaudits from the coaches for his natural, soulful grit.
So did Team Blake's final performer of the night, Cole Vosbury, who performed Rod Stewart's "Maggie May" next.
Finally, Team Adam's resident diva Tessanne Chin, a cheery Jamaican back-up singer eager to break out on her own, was performing a song laden with personal meaning for her: "Many Rivers to Cross," by reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, for whom Tessane had long sung backing vocals.
After an intense, gospel-tinged performance of the anthem, Tessanne briefly broke down into tears — happy ones, she assured Carson Daly as the coaches prepared to weigh in. (That made for a groan-worthy reggae joke from CeeLo, wielding a bad Jamaican accent. "No woman, no cry, everything gonna be alright," he told her, grinning, with his hoodie's hood up.)
Kidding aside, the coaches made no bones about their love of Tessanne's performance and respect for her vocal talent. Her own coach Adam went one further.
"Let's just put the talent aside for a minute," he said. "This woman — you have just such a golden soul."
When "The Voice" returns Tuesday, members of Team CeeLo and Team Christina will get their chance to sing for audiences' votes. NBC will also air a special results show on Thursday.
"The Voice" airs Mondays at 8/7c, Tuesdays at 9/8c, and Thursday at 8/7c on NBC.

For many years, particle size analyzers have produced results with the assumption that all measured particles are spherical. However, using a measurement that assumes all particles are spheres may not be adequate for a variety of applications where particle shapes are irregular. In many applications, the shape of raw material particles can affect both performance and quality of the end product. Automated image analysis provides a more accurate measurement of these particles.
The dynamic image technique looks at these particles in motion, providing additional critical information. Besides particle size, numerous shape parameters are obtained. As the images are taken, statistical data for all measurement parameters are calculated and recorded. At the same time, thumbnail images of each particle are saved for post-analysis viewing and screening.
This presentation will cover two classes of irregular particles, crystals and fibers, and the additional important information that dynamic image analysis can provide. Examples of real-world industrial applications will also be discussed.

Creating structures or table of contents in TikiWiki
The previous tutorial explained how to create pages in TikiWiki. In TikiWiki, pages can be organized into categories that make the subject easier to navigate. These categories in TikiWiki are called Structures. This allows the writer of the page to create multiple pages related to one subject.
This is a fast and user friendly way of organizing your TikiWiki content. This is similar to creating a book in that the structure is like a table of contents and the pages and sub pages are the content to the subject. Next we will create a structure in TikiWiki.
Creating a Structure in TikiWiki
In Tiki 9, Structures are enabled so you can create them by default. The following will explain how to make a tree style structure with pages and sub-pages in TikiWIki.
- Log into TikiWiki.
- On left side, hover over "Wiki" and select "Structures" from the menu.
- Select the "Create New Structure" tab. Here is where you will create the structure.
Enter the Structure ID and the alias for the structure, The tree is optional. You can leave that blank if you want.
Click Create New Structure.
- You should see a Feedback box saying the Structure was created.
Click the magnifying glass icon to view the new structure.
- The Structure will display nothing but an empty table of contents. To set the structure properties, click the puzzle and pencil icon.
- Here you can set the Structure of the Table of contents. Change the settings to reflect the type of tree you want to create.
In this case we we did the following:
- set the max depth to 3
- give the structure an ID of 1
- Made the order ascending
- Show description yes
- Show Numbering yes
- Type is plain
- Page Name Getting Started with HTML
Click Submit.
- Now you will be back to the main structure page. Add a page to the structure.
You can add as many pages to the main structure you like.
- Next, Select one of the pages that you added to the structure. You can add pages to that page to create a sub page related to that page. (This will be clearer once you add the sub page to page.)
When done, you will have a tree style navigation with your topics in sub pages for easy navigation. See the image to the right.
TikiWiki will automatically make a top navigation for the structure like the snapshot to the right.
This concludes the tutorial on creatung stuctures in TikiWiki. Next, we will discuss how to format the content in TikiWIki.

Daniel Sedin's two goals in the second game of the 2010-11 season are probably a blueprint for how the Vancouver Canucks want the season to go. Last year's vaunted offence outscored everyone in the Western Conference, and our boys finished second only to the Washington Capitals in league scoring. This year's squad, built around a sleeker, more reliable Roberto Luongo and an impressive array of blueline talent, will probably have a few more games like this one: a two-to-one squeaker where the Swedes manufacture a timely game winner.
Daniel Sedin celebrates one of his two goals against Florida on Thanksgiving. Photo: Canucks.com
Luongo faced a lot of rubber tonight. Most of it came from the outside, but when the Florida Panthers did get the puck into the slot, he made the saves – even rebounds – look easy. Mostly, however, the Canucks looked collected in allowing the opposition take a few shots, and in clearing the puck in much calmer fashion than they did last year. In all, Luongo made 41 saves, several of the outstanding variety with Cats standing right on top of him. Luongo looks more solid in these past two games than he's looked in the past two seasons. The only puck to get by him was a harmless looking point shot that caromed off two skates before crossing the line.
It's at the other end that the Canucks seem a little rattled, for some reason. Ryan Kesler plum missed the net on a glorious two-on-one pass from Mason Raymond. Keith Ballard stood in the Florida crease and watched a beautiful Henrik Sedin pass scoot under his stick. (Blade on the ice, my good man, blade on the blasted ice.) With the Panther net empty in the dying seconds of the game, Mikael Samuelsson backhanded the puck off the bleedin' crossbar, for goodness' sake. As commentators John Shorthouse and John Garrett joked afterward, the players will probably spend some time after practice tomorrow trying to replicate that, and probably won't be able to do it.
Don't get me wrong – this was not a pretty game. Raffi Torres and Dan Hamhuis both had a couple of big hits early, but it wasn't a particularly dirty game, either. The Panthers were not penalized once, despite having Darcy Hordichuk on the roster (a man Canucks fans will recognize from his myriad trips to the box for poor on-ice decisions). The home team only had to kill three penalties themselves, suggesting perhaps one of the zebras forgot to bring a whistle to the arena.
Neither of Daniel's goals were a thing of beauty. Halfway through the first period, Hank won a draw to the side boards, where Samuelsson whipped a backhand at Tomas Vokoun. When a wee rebound sat to the side of the net, Daniel chipped it over the Czech netminder's shoulder into the top corner. It was a quality play, for sure, but not one for the Sedin highlight reel. At that point, the crowd thought the Canucks would break out for one of the five- or six-goal outbursts that punctuated last season. But hand it to the Panthers: they play a numbing style of game that kept the snipers off the scoresheet for another two periods.
When Rostislav Olesz's weak shot pinballed in to tie the game with under a minute to play in the second period, those same fans probably thought the Canucks were in for the same spoiler treatment they got from the LA Kings on opening night. Two games in a row, the home team went up 1-0 early. Two games in a row, they could not find an insurance marker. Two games in a row, they let a lesser team tie things up in rather unimpressive fashion.
Dank's second goal of the night, which turned out to be the 45th game-winning goal of his career, came on a broken play that turned into a goalmouth scramble. With the puck lying to Vokoun's left, Daniel leapt across the crease to steer it home with just under five minutes to play.
And so, the Vancouver Canucks sit at 1-0-1 after their first two games. Both nights featured some promising team play and impressive work by Roberto Luongo. The Sedins each have three points (Daniel with 2G, 1A; Henrik with 3A), and look to be just warming up at this point. Raffi Torres, Peter Schaefer and Manny Malhotra are providing the grit in the bottom six that was promised umpteen times over the off-season. Mason Raymond is blazing around out there, and has been shooting five times a game. Goals will come.
With the steadying influence of Dan Hamhuis and Keith Ballard back there, the Canuck defense has yet to get running around like they have been prone to do over the past two seasons. Andrew Alberts is playing a successful game as a depth defenseman, and Kevin Bieksa has made fewer dumb mistakes with that assistant captain's A on his left breast.
There hasn't been any exciting Canucks hockey yet this year, but there's been plenty to like. Next up: the woeful Anaheim Ducks, whose Swiss cheese defense just might be what these forwards need to wake up a little bit.

Republican Presidential Candidate Gary Johnson on Technology
Story by Benjamin F. Kuo
In an interesting diversion from our usual interviews with startup entrepreneurs and investors, we had the chance to sit down earlier with Republican Presidential Candidate Gary Johnson, the former Governor of New Mexico, to talk about his online town hall with Los Angeles-based Yowie later today (at 5pm PST). Johnson spoke to us about his online outreach efforts, and how he's hoping those efforts will bring some visibility to his campaign.
Thanks for taking time to speak to us today. How did this online town hall come about?
Gary Johnson: Jay Snider, the founder of Yowie, offered up the opportunity, and I made contact with him and his sister Selena, who have been very supportive of my campaign. They just offered it up, and I thought it would be a great opportunity.
Has online been a big part of your outreach plans, and have these been something you have been planning to do as part of your campaign?
Gary Johnson: I did. I thought this campaign was going to be different than anything before, just because how technology has advanced. This certainly has been one of those changes.
How important is this in getting your message heard--particularly given your difficulty getting a part of the Republican televised debates?
Gary Johnson: You could say that it's my only method of communication. By that, I mean over the Internet. However, it's amazing, if you look at the fact that I'm being out-spent and out-fundraised by 100 to one say compared with Romney or Perry, I'd say for the dollars we've spent we're in a pretty good position.
Can running an Internet-only campaign get your message out above traditional TV coverage?
Gary Johnson: Politics is about momentum, and exceeding expectations. The Internet is in no way a traditional audience, but part of politics is about your base, about building a base, so that if the day ever comes when the spotlight is shined on me, there will be a base to back it up. As yet, that spotlight has not yet shined on me, but I'm laboring on believing that at some point it will.
I imagine that base is pretty important to get above the huge number of candidates in the race right now?
Gary Johnson: If you take Florida last week, that's a good example. There are something like 210 candidates for President, and I don't know how many Republications, but maybe 40 to 50 Republicans. In Florida, last week they issued who was going to be on the primary ballot in Florida, and there were 9 candidates. I think for all intents and purposes, those are the 9 candidates who will be in the race, and I'm one of those candidates.
What message are you trying to get out to voters which so far hasn't been getting out there through TV and other mediums?
Gary Johnson: You can go down the list. I'm making three promises, three promises that, if elected President of the United States, are things I am going to do. I made very few promises running for Governor of New Mexico, but every promise I kept. The first is, I believe that we're on the verge of a monetary collapse in this country. By monetary collapse, I mean something like Russia. We will never recover from a monetary collapse in our lifetime. That's waking up one morning, and not having that dollar that you have in the bank worth anything, and having that happen in a very short amount of time. It happens very quickly, and I think we are not immune to that happening here. It's the mathematics of spending more than you are taking in. I'm promising to balance the federal budget--well, promising to submit a balanced budget, since it requires legislative action to pass--but I promise to submit a balanced budget, which means a 43 percent reduction in current government spending. No one is talking about that. What that does entail, is start talking about Medicare, Medicaid, and military spending, all of which need to be cut 43 percent. I maintain that if we don't do that, we'll find ourselves in monetary collapse, and we'll be left with nothing, nothing. That's promise number one, submitting a balanced budget.
Number two, is I'd veto any expenditure that exceeds revenues. Congress can of course override any veto, but I will submit to you, that under that scenario, spending will be less than in any other scenario that you can come up with.
Lastly, I am promising to advocate for the FAIRTAX, which is an effort to throw out the entire federal tax system. You can go to Fairtax.org (www.fairtax.org) to read up on it. If you're not well versed with that, it throws out the entire Federal tax system, income tax, business tax, corporate tax, throws out the IRS, does not withhold from a paycheck, and instead replaces that with a 23 percent consumption tax. That is revenue neutral, cuts government spending, and establishes a zero percent corporate income tax. If, in an environment of zero corporate income tax, private businesses can't create tens of millions of jobs, I don't know what would work.
The other thing, is I am not a social conservative. Of the other eight candidates, if you look at me as number nine in the race based on the Florida primary list, is I'm the only one who is not a social conservative. I'm a classical liberal. I believe that the best government is the least government, and that the best thing the government can do for you and I is to empower you and I. If you Wikipedia classical liberal, I'm a classical liberal I genuinely believe in the free market. I'm not a tariff guy. If China wants to subsidize goods and send them to us, we ought to take advantage of that. It's ultimately to the detriment of China to do that. Tariffs, in my opinions, have lots of unintended consequences. Government has unintended consequences, and always does.
I think we need to end the war on drugs, and legalize marijuana. In the context of immigration and immigration issues, I think the rot cause of border violence is prohibition of drugs. If you want to address border violence, legalizing marijuana goes three quarters of the way towards addressing the 40,000 deaths south of the border over the last three years. That is using guns, instead of courts. All of my other opponents talk about adding guns to that, rather than addressing the root of the problem. I think the difference I have with everybody on the stage, lie in the definition of a classical liberal, which is the notion that the best government really is the least government. If you look at which candidates have the resume to say they have pursued that more than any other, I think I have that resume, that the notion of the best government is the one that empowers you and I to make decisions. We don't want a government policing out bedroom activities, making criminal something because of their moral views.
Our readers are heavily involved in technology, science, investor and business; what issues do you think are important for them, and what do you have to offer them?
Gary Johson: Back when I was Governor of New Mexico, what I offered in big doses was the notion that what government should provide, and can provide is a level playing field. There shouldn't be any advantage to any group, to any company by dishing out payola for special favors or loopholes. That's the whole Occupy Wall Street thing. I think they are well founded in being upset and outraged over bailouts, and over the fact that corporations pay for this stuff. It's outrageous to me, and it should be to every American, that we are not all treated equally. I think that the FAIRTAX goes a whole long way to the notion of fair, that the name FAIRTAX implies. Government policy really needs to focus on equality for all, as opposed to doling out special favors. The root of all evil are politicians who say they are there to save us from the evil of the day, whether that's terrorism, illegal aliens, health care and health care costs, retirement, or the drug war. You name it, there is a politician who will stand up and say, contribute to me and elect me, and I will save you.
Do you plan on more online outreach as your campaign goes on?
Gary Johnson: It's really a function of what is offered to me. I'm taking advantage of whatever is offered. We've been holding online Google meetups -- we've had about six of those in the last few months, which is really in line with what we're doing later this afternoon.
Thanks, and good luck with your campaign!
Editor's note: our interviews are not an endorsement of any particular candidate for office.

You know when you see people carrying houses on the highway and you think "there's no way that is going to stay on?" Here's what it looks like when a house on a trailer actually falls off the trailer.
We're not going to presume where exactly this happened in the former Soviet world, as we couldn't tell a Moldovan from a Ukrainian if you paid us a million rubles. Wherever it was, we're glad YouTube lets us Westerners finally watch the kind of tomfoolery that goes down over there.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy II Gets First Look Trailer
When Kevin Tancharoen quietly released the first video in his Mortal Kombat: Legacy series last year, many speculated that it was official. Not only did the video sport high production quality, but the inclusion of actors Jeri Ryan and Michael Jai White drove home that this wasn't some average fan film.
What followed were nine episodes exploring many of the series' most popular characters. Some new takes on the lore, including a compelling and disturbing look at Raiden, made Mortal Kombat: Legacy's first season memorable. More importantly, Warner Bros. was on board.
Today gives us a new trailer for the upcoming second season. Familiar characters, including Kitana, Mileena, Scorpion, and Sub-Zero, are joined by Smoke, Kenshi, Liu Kang, and Kung Lao. The wait won't be long. Season two, hosted by Machinima, begins on Sept. 26.

Chances are, you've been admiring the work of Tina Knowles--AKA "Miss Tina," AKA Beyoncé's mother--for years without even knowing it. She was the designer behind all of those matching costumes worn by Destiny's Child, and she still makes one-off pieces for her famous daughters in her House of Dereon studio. But starting this weekend, you can get your hands on her made-for-everywoman stuff on the super-cheap at Walmart!
Miss Tina by Tina Knowles will hit the mega-retailer this weekend, and it's about as amazingly democratic as fashion gets--it was designed to flatter women of all body types and all ages, and everything is $20 and under! Miss Tina gave us a call yesterday to chat about the new line, and here's what she had to say.
STF: How did a collaboration with Walmart come about? After designing for House of Dereon, Dereon, and HSN, what made you decide to go so massMiss Tina: I actually wanted to reach a wide audience of women and of course Walmart has 3700 locations. I wanted to put it in a place where people go and buy it--a brick and mortar place that people could actually go and buy the line, as opposed to say HSN, which is a more limited audience. And because of the volume of sales they do, they're able to do it at a great price.
STF: What's the inspiration behind the line?
Miss Tina: Well, what also attracted me to Walmart was that they were open to having extended sizes. We extended the sizes up to 20, with the hopes of continuing up a couple of sizes in the future. That twas really important to me because the average woman in America is not a 4 or 6. I had a lot of frustration finding clothes that fit me up top. Sometimes I'd get a 12 and it wouldn't fit up top, so the line was really borne from a frustration about me not being able to find things that fit.
STF: One of the first things I noticed about the line is how sexy it is! Especially for plus size clothing, and I think that's something a lot of women will appreciate, right?
Miss Tina: Oh, I've heard complaints from women all over the country that plus size clothes arent sexy enough. You know, I'm a grandma but i don't want to look like a grandma! I want to feel confident and sexy in the clothes, I like my stuff tapered and well-fitted not all boxy.

STF: So how do you actually make sure the fit is flattering on everyone?
Miss Tina: I don't just use normal fit models. For me, thats not every woman. I'm one of the fit models myself.
STF: Really?! How hands-on of you!
Miss Tina: Yes I really am involved in every aspect. These are clothes that I want to wear. But really it's clothes that we have really concentrated on making you look slimmer.
STF: Did you consult with your daughters while you were designing? What kind of input did they give you?
Miss Tina: I showed my daughters the line early on, and they gave me suggestions. They suggested that I put a couple of things in there that were a little younger, and so I think it appeals to a lot of different age groups. I couldn't wear a lot of the things that my daughters wear, but sometimes we shop for the same tops, which is fun.

Getting better involves taking tips and practicing. I'm taking a guy out to work with his driving in a field. We will throw between 100 and 150 shots probably. You can't take those tips from clinics and not practices them outside of golf. It takes a very long time to unlearn something, like the way you throw. I'm fine giving people advice while they play. I've been focusing a lot on foot position with people this year. But if you want to really improve your throw, you need field practice and a lot of reps.
Whatever kind of minis or clinics you guys have, probably lots of people (myself included) will show up for. That will certainly increase activity. The only problem I see is it probably won't make a much higher quality of disc golfer in Kansas City. Usually when people go to an activity like that they get one or two good tips. Then they go right back to what they were doing. The thing I think helps me the most, and Kevin talked about it, is if you would each take a small group (3 or 4 people) and play a round with them. If I get pointers in a actual round setting that is where I learn the most. But I understand that is a large chunk of your time. Maybe if you had a clinic and enough pros showed up that they could work with 3 or 4 people that would be awesome. Any of you guys can teach me anytime.
No one gives a sh!t about Pro's anymore... don't you know this yet???
Keep in mind, These clinics will be FREE of charge....!
I will totally volunteer to hold a clinic at new players league next month.

Sad News: Former NBA Star Lorenzen Wright Found Dead At 34yrs Old In Memphis! (Body Found. Hit With A Dozen Bullets)
"Investigators discovered a body in Southeast Memphis Wednesday believed to be missing Memphis basketball star Lorenzen Wright. Wright's body was found in a wooded area adjacent to the Fieldstone apartment complex off Hacks Cross and Winchester Roads. He had been missing for more than a week. News of the discovery spread quickly and crowds of Wright's friends from both on and off the court steadily grew. Wright's mother, Deborah Marion, arrived at the scene Wednesday night with a handful of family members. She crossed the crime scene tape and tried to talk to police when she was told to move back. She sat in a TV van before returning to the tape. Two officers then let her through. The distraught Marion then started running down the road toward the crime scene before being stopped by an officer. She spoke with officers, then walked back past reporters without speaking straight to a van. The 34-year-old Wright was last seen July 18 when he was expected to fly out of town. His family filed a missing person report July 22. Alyssa Macon-Moore with the Memphis Police Department would only say officers were investigating an unidentified body." - R.I.P Wright

Man's Samsung Galaxy S6 cellphone explodes in bed
The phone left burn marks on his bed sheets and mattress
The phone left burn marks on his bed sheets and mattress
The phone left burn marks on his bed sheets and mattress
A woman says her sheets were burned and there is now a hole in the mattress after her husband's Samsung Galaxy S6 phone exploded in their bed.
"It burnt through the protector on the sheet, then it went through one of the sheets as well," Nakeshia Shannon said.
Shannon said the Samsung cellphone belonged to her husband. She said he's owned the phone for two years and never had an issue with it.
Shannon said the phone exploded on Wednesday, and luckily her three young children were not sleeping in the bed as they usually do.
Shannon shared what happened on social media in hopes of getting feedback on what caused the phone to malfunction.
"They're saying it's possibly the way they are making the batteries." Nakeshia Shannon told WYFF News 4.
A statement from Samsung spokeswoman Danielle Meister Cohen said:
"We stand behind the quality and safety of the more than 10 million Galaxy S6 family phones in the U.S., and there are no known issues with these devices. We have spoken with Ms. Shannon to learn more about what happened and offer her our support. We have retrieved her device for examination, but until Samsung is able to examine any device, it is impossible to determine the true cause of any incident. Mobile phones are complex products and there are many factors that could contribute to their malfunction. Any customer who has questions or experiences an issue with a Samsung product should contact us directly at 1-800-SAMSUNG."
Shannon has been in contact with Samsung and sent in the phone for examination.
Samsung suspended sales of the Galaxy Note 7 and announced an informal recall, after a manufacturing defect was found in the phones' batteries.

As Congress debates whether to toughen the nation's gun laws, a study from Boston Children's Hospital found that states with the highest number of gun laws have the lowest rates of gun deaths due to homicides and suicides.
The research, published online Wednesday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, analyzed gun laws in all 50 states as well as the total number of gun-related deaths in each state from 2007 through 2010. It found that fatality rates ranged from a high of 17.9 per 100,000 people in Louisiana — a state among those with the fewest gun laws — to a low of 2.9 per 100,000 in Hawaii, which ranks sixth for its number of gun restrictions.
Massachusetts, which the researchers said has the most gun restrictions, had a gun fatality rate of 3.4 per 100,000.
"Critics of gun laws have said that gun laws don't work, but our research indicates the opposite," said study leader Dr. Eric Fleegler, a pediatric emergency medicine physician at Boston Children's Hospital. "In states with the most laws, we found a dramatic decreased rate in firearm fatalities, though we can't say for certain that these laws have led to fewer deaths."
Previous research evaluating the association between firearm laws and a reduction in gun-related injuries and fatalities have yielded mixed results, but most have focused on one or two specific laws rather than the total amount of restrictions in a state. A Georgetown University study found that mandating background checks for gun purchases, for example, was linked to reduced suicide rates in those over age 55 but did not reduce murder rates or suicide rates in younger people.
The new study found that states with the most laws had a 37 percent lower rate of suicides by firearm and a 40 percent lower rate of homicides compared with states with the fewest laws.
But the researchers did not measure whether death rates dropped in states after they enacted new legislation because such data do not exist, according to Fleegler.
Instead, they assigned each state a score based on its total number of gun purchasing and ownership requirements during the years studied. Massachusetts had the highest score of 22.5 points for its gun regulations, including background checks, child safety trigger locks, a ban on military-style assault weapons, and not allowing guns in public places. Louisiana and Alaska, with scores of 1, ranked first and second for death rates.
The study drew praise from Massachusetts gun-control advocates, who said the results buttress what they have been saying for years.
"It's one of the most comprehensive studies I've seen, and I've looked at a lot of them," said state Representative David Linsky, a Natick Democrat who has filed a bill to tighten the Massachusetts gun laws even further. "It becomes very clear that those states with stronger gun-violence prevention laws have lower firearm death rates."
Linsky's bill would require gun owners to purchase liability insurance, better access to mental health records,and a 25 percent sales tax on guns and ammunition to be funneled to mental-health services, and it would close a loophole that allows ownership of military-style assault weapons manufactured before 1994, when the state banned such guns.
Governor Deval Patrick also has filed gun-control legislation. His bill, which includes some of the provisions in Linsky's legislation, would also limit gun purchases to one firearm a month and create four new categories of firearms crimes. The governor also seeks to improve electronic monitoring of private gun sales by requiring that they occur at the business of a licensed dealer.
However, legislators who might be looking for new research to help guide them in determining which laws work best will not get much help from this study because the researchers could not determine which regulations were likely to have the most impact.
Gun owner advocates can point to the study's limitations as a reason to disregard its findings. "I think it's incorrect to draw any real conclusions from this study," said Jim Wallace, executive director of the Northborough-based Gun Owners' Action League.
The tough gun laws in Massachusetts do not appear to have made much difference in reducing deaths and injuries from guns. Murders committed with firearms, gun-related assaults and robberies, and gunshot injuries have all risen since the state passed a comprehensive package of gun laws in 1998, according to FBI and state data.
In the 1990s, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted a more limited study that compared firearms laws and gun violence in fewer than 10 states, Rosenthal said. That analysis also showed a correlation between more gun laws and less violence, he added.
The CDC's gun violence research program was eliminated more than a decade ago, and in an editorial that accompanied the new study, Dr. Garen J. Wintemute, a University of California, Davis emergency medicine physician, lamented that there is now little funding for such studies and "almost no researchers."
"Until we revitalize firearm violence research," he wrote, "studies using available data will often be the best we have. They are not good enough." He cautioned that the type of study published yesterday is "inherently weak" and that a correlation between more laws and fewer deaths does not show cause and effect.Deborah Kotz can be reached at email@example.com.

mattedmundson needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 81 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
I am a parent that decided to learn first aid as I was well aware that I didn't know any at all. On my journey I discovered that I am not alone - most parents don't know basic first aid. Kids will be kids of course, and basic first aid skills are essential for any parent, and that is why I am launching this blog - in an effort to raise awareness and training amongst parents.
Basically anyone who has, or who works/looks after kids (of all ages). The main target audience will be parents though.
I want a logo that I can use on the web, in print, on T-shirts etc. At the moment, our logo is quite basic and it really doesn't catch what it is I am trying to do - so I am looking for someone with a creative flair that can merge together the web domain, design requirements (that it is about first aid and that it is for parents) but at the same time create something that is instantly recognisable and unique.
NB - we CANNOT use a Red Cross on a white background in the logo as this is an internationally trade marked symbol and needs government approval. Please use a white cross on a green background as this is the international symbol used on all first aid kits and, especially in the UK, is what is legally required to be on first aid kits.
Please avoid "fancy" fonts that are hard to read. And please don't make the logo too feminine or masculine (it should be neutral to appeal to both sexes).
Please feel free to experiment with colors!
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 and make sure that it is all your own work.
Many thanks for considering this project. Your design could be used on something that, if has the desired impact, will save the lives of children. I think that this is quite a unique challenge and look forward to seeing what you do!

As we mark the end of Black History Month, which U.S. embassies and consulates commemorated worldwide in February, I'd like to take a moment to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
In January, U.S. Embassy Mbabane joined with some of Swaziland's most talented musicians, artists, and poets for a special event held at my residence. We invited the artists to create original works reflecting Dr. King's values and the current situation in Swaziland and the world today. The result was an amazing afternoon of music, poetry, and art that brought together government officials, opposition members, youth leaders, business people, and artists, to commemorate Dr. King's legacy through Swazi eyes.
Through hip-hop, spoken word, Swazi soul, and the harmony of Swazi tenors, the audience was inspired to think about Dr. King's aspirations, the challenges facing Swaziland, and how they could create change in their communities now. We chose to celebrate Dr. King through the arts, because during the Civil Rights Movement music sustained activists. They used hymns to uplift their spirits and created folk songs that told the story of the movement. Artists were integral to the movement for justice and equality in the United States.
Just as American artists did during Dr. King's time, Swazi artists created songs, poems, and artwork that promoted the principles that inspired Dr. King's work. We hoped their work would focus attention on and raise questions about human rights issues in Swaziland and lead people to think about what their dreams for a better Swaziland would be. It also underscored that everyone has a role to play in creating change. Each of the artists created moving pieces that provoked thought, laughter, and tears. Most significantly, the youth of Swaziland were given a unique platform to speak their minds to their countrymen and women, as well as the American audience, on the kind of Swaziland they would like to live in.
Our Martin Luther King program underscored that the work we do in our embassy's Public Diplomacy Section pays tremendous dividends in building people-to-people connections and promoting strong bilateral relationships, as many of the performing artists were alumni of our International Visitor Programs. But it also spotlighted the impact our programs have on the lives of participants. One attendee raised a question that I am sure many were contemplating as they watched the performances: "What would Swaziland be if our people would be free to use their creative skills and express themselves freely without any fear or intimidation?" If our audience went away imagining that possibility, our commemoration of the legacy of Dr. King was a resounding success.

The unoccupied out-of-service CTA train that ran into a stopped Blue Line train carrying passengers this week had been left with the power still on in a storage yard by CTA workers, the National Transportation Safety Board said Friday.
Safety board investigators raised concerns about the need for the CTA to improve protection against unintended train movements, saying that unoccupied CTA trains are "routinely left powered-up while stored and with the brake setting that would allow movement.''
The crash involving the "ghost train" -- as some CTA rail employees dubbed it – caused minor injuries to more than 30 riders Monday morning.
The runaway four-car train was parked in the yard, at the western terminus of the Forest Park branch, with power to the propulsion system, lights and other equipment activated for possibly days before the incident, said a source close to the investigation, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The new developments surfaced as the NTSB issued two "urgent safety recommendations'' Friday addressing "the need for redundant protection to prevent unintended train movements on the CTA system.''
In the emergency recommendations, the NTSB disclosed that the four-car train traveled almost 1 mile downhill through five mechanical train stop mechanisms before reaching the Harlem station, where it struck the standing eight-car train.
During the incident, the emergency brakes were applied and the train was momentarily stopped several times by the mechanical train stop mechanisms, called "trips,'' as it proceeded to the Harlem station.
"After each stop, the train started moving again because the master lever on the operator console had been left in a setting that allowed the train car brakes to recover and reset from the emergency brake application and proceed through a mechanical train stop mechanism after a momentary stop,'' the NTSB report accompanying the recommendations said.
CTA officials could not be reached immediately for comment.

Children can only aspire to what they know exists
Described by the Sunday Times as 'The University of Fun', Children's University encourages 5-14 year olds to try new experiences, develop new interests and acquire new skills.
Learn with Us
The Children's University (CU) Trust is a charitable trust that provides 7 to 14 year olds (and 5 to 6 year olds with their families) with exciting and innovative learning activities and experiences outside normal school hours. We celebrate achievement and reward participation through our certificates. Raising children's aspirations is important to us and we aim to develop the understanding that learning can be "...a satellite navigation system to better places in life…".
The Passport To Learning
"Tell me and I will forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I will understand!" - Anon
As a rule of thumb, Children's University learning equals 'grown-ups university' learning; it is learning which can be 'connected' to Higher Education course provision as exemplified by UCAS - in other words: if you can get a degree in it the Children's University wants to know! This is what the Children's University terms the thinking at the start of the journey to independent learning …
A Passport To Learning has been created, in which 7 to 14 year old children - and 5 and 6 year olds with grown-ups - collect 'stamps' and hours of accredited learning. This contributes to the award of a certificate, encouraging them to access Children's University provision and a wide range of other worthwhile out-of-school-hours learning opportunities.
This innovation has received widespread support from sponsors and funders. Our current supporters and sponsors include the Education Endowment Foundation/Cabinet Office, the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, F2UNI and the Fidelity Foundation. Investment is vital and by no means limited to hard cash: services, venues, products and staff time all play an equally critical role. The Association of Graduate Recruiters generously allocated us exhibition space at no cost and Birmingham Solicitors' Group selected their local CU as the group's "Charity of the Year". Our learning partners cover a diverse range of public providers, including: Higher and Further Education Institutions, Museums, Libraries and Archives, Woodland Trust, English Heritage, The Forestry Commission, Pets at Home and Halfords. Internationally, we have a growing number of public Learning Destinations in Germany, Italy, Cyprus and Australia.
Each Passport To Learning is individually numbered which makes each child, as passport holder, an individual member of the Children's University. Tracking development and progress as part of the evaluation of impact is in this way also possible. This may be of particular interest to individual schools and Local Authorities as well as government agencies. An electronic version of the Passport To Learning (E-Passport) has been developed in partnership with private sector partners F2UNI / bit10, to promote even greater independence in our learners and to enable children to actively log and manage their achievements. The E-Passport can also assist in children's transition from the primary to secondary phase and act as evidence in schools' monitoring, reporting and (Ofsted) self-evaluation.Read more
"The aim of teaching is not to produce learning but to produce the conditions for learning, this is the focal point, the quality of learning." - Loris Malaguzzi
Learning Destinations are places and organisations to which children can 'travel' with their Passport To Learning. They provide high quality learning activities and experiences with a 'wow' factor and have passed the Children's University's own quality assurance process (Planning for Learning). A Learning Destination can range from a museum to a farm or from an airport to a university as long as the learning activity connects with Children's University learning, which is in turn linked to actual university course provision (as exemplified by UCAS). Partners as diverse as the Woodland Trust, English Heritage, and B & Q offer treasure trails and history walks, measuring, calculating, designing and making, playing an instrument, photography, sports and first aid, and much much more.
The status as a CU validated Learning Destination will in principle last for 3 years and is as such a licence agreement between the Children's University and the individual Learning Destination. As part of the local Children's University's monitoring and evaluation of learning activities additional local CU support may be available to individual Learning Destinations.
Learning Destinations display the CU's Learning Destination logo prominently in and outside their environment, clearly visible to children who may want to use their Passport To Learning there. Learning Destinations are also strongly encouraged to include the Learning Destination logo on literature, letter headed paper and to have a web link to the CU website. To find a Learning Destination near you please go to the Learning Destinations page. Passport holders can now access all of the public Learning Destinations across the United Kingdom and beyond to go on their own journey to independent learning. Schools can also be Learning Destinations through their out-of-school-hours offer - these Learning Destinations are mostly restricted to targeted groups of children and therefore do no appear as public Learning Destinations on the CU website.
Learning Destinations 'stamp' the child's Passport To Learning to correspond with the time a child has been engaged in the validated learning activities within the Learning Destination. This therefore contributes to the child's record of achievements and CU Certification.
Learning Destinations ensure, where appropriate, attendance and evaluation records related to CU activities can be available to the Children's University to assist in developments, evaluation and research.
The children …
"The Children's University makes you want to go to school more. The courses are fun courses ... and you get the credits."
"I joined the computer club and practiced really hard. I got better. We don't have a computer at home but I could take this one home. It really helped me."
"No one ever bullies you in the CU. It just wouldn't be what CU is like."
The parents …
"Children's Universityhas been a fantastic experience for all three of our children.
"Congratulations on a job well done and I am happy to spout off to all and sundry the benefit the Children's University brings the children and our wider community.
The professionals …
"He's just a different person now; puts his hand up in class, joins in, volunteers to help, brims with a confidence that was never there before."
"I really want to take the attitude that success out of school equals success in school. The Children's University has been invaluable in raising standards across the school."
"It is the enthusiasm and delight youngsters get from doing things and learning things they had not thought of before, exploring new areas, new ways of learning."

SAN FRANCISCO—What happened in Vegas didn't stay in Vegas. And now federal scientists are watching their travel funding disappear.
Limits put in place after a now-infamous General Services Administration conference in Las Vegas two years ago -- which featured a magician, a $75,000 bike-building exercise and other lavish touches -- have cut the number of federal researchers attending scientific gatherings like the American Geophysical Union's fall meeting, held here this week.
Scientists ranging from rank-and-file researchers to the heads of federal science agencies say they are concerned the new rules will inhibit their ability to collaborate and publicize federally funded research.
"The number of scientists able to participate in scientific conferences is lower," said NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco. "It is a very real concern, because scientific conferences are an important way for scientists to stay current in their fields."
U.S. Geological Survey chief Marcia McNutt said she began pressing Interior Department leadership this summer to approve plans for more than 500 agency employees to attend the AGU meeting, a process that was not completed until last week, days before the event started.
"For us this was a heroic effort to get it done," McNutt said.
The rules the White House announced in May direct all agencies to cut their travel spending by 30 percent. Agencies cannot spend more than $100,000 on a single conference without approval from a deputy secretary. A bill of $500,000 or more must be approved by the secretary in charge of an agency.
That has prompted an outcry from scientific societies, whose leaders say they sympathize with the need to reduce waste and control spending but worry about unintended consequences of reducing scientists' travel.
Chilling effect on Arctic and Antarctic researchers
Scientific meetings "offer participants opportunities for synergies that are almost impossible to replicate in any other way," the presidents of the American Physical Society and the American Chemical Society wrote in an op-ed published in the The Hill in September. "Impromptu conversations in the corridors outside the lecture rooms have led to transformational discoveries."
Ginger Pinholster, a spokeswoman for the American Association for the Advancement of Science, said her group is "concerned about both the [travel rules] as well as the threat of a budget sequestration," automatic spending cuts set to take effect in January.
One researcher told her yesterday that he could not accept an invitation to present his work at the AAAS's annual meeting in Boston early next year, Pinholster said, because the Defense Department has decided to "shut down all travel deemed not mission-critical" if sequestration is not averted.
Christine McEntee, AGU's executive director, said the impact of the new travel limits was apparent as the early registration period for her society's conference came to a close in November with far fewer slots claimed by federal employees this year than in years past.
The society attempted to ease the pain for agencies by allowing federal employees to register at discounted "early bird" rates until last week. But the number of federal registrants fell 16 percent this year, to 2,100, even as overall attendance rose from 22,000 in 2011 to 23,000 this year.
"We've heard across the agencies that they have been having trouble in terms of getting approvals," McEntee said. "We're quite concerned about what this portends for the future. We're quite concerned about this limiting the exchange between scientists. Scientific meetings exist for advancing the science, and they're important for national security and our economy."
Dismay over the new rules bubbled over into the nonstop schedule of presentations and meetings here this week, which drew a wide array of experts in Earth and planetary science.
Scott Borg, who directs the National Science Foundation's Antarctic research office, acknowledged the impact of the travel restrictions during a meeting Tuesday of scientists who conduct federally funded research in Antarctica.
"The federal government has been put under a lot of pressure on travel thanks to the General Services Administration," Borg said just before he cued up a video message from Kelly Falkner, the head of NSF's Office of Polar Programs, who was not able to travel to San Francisco.
And a Monday morning session on polar ice began with Michael Studinger, a scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, announcing that "budget problems" had prevented one of the researchers who organized the series of talks from attending them.
That scientist, Jackie Richter-Menge of the Army Corps of Engineers' Cold Regions Research Laboratory in Hanover, N.H., also missed a Wednesday press conference to release a major government report on the Arctic that she helped edit.
Some agencies feel the pinch; others don't
Especially frustrating, many researchers said, is the wide variation in the way federal agencies are interpreting the new rules.
Several NASA employees said they had little trouble getting permission to come to the meeting, where agency researchers unveiled new results from the Mars rovers Curiosity and Opportunity, the Voyager mission to the edge of the solar system, and twin satellites studying gravity on the moon.
USGS also managed to send a sizable contingent, thanks to McNutt's lobbying, although the agency chief was quick to note that this year's attendees were limited to those presenting research, serving on AGU committees and boards, or receiving honors from the society.
NOAA was also well-represented. But many researchers said the Energy and Defense departments had greatly limited their employees' attendance at this week's meeting. No one from the Army Corps' research division was allowed to go, for example.
The Army Corps even refused travel assistance offered to its scientists by collaborators at other agencies, sources said. Some Army Corps scientists took matters into their own hands, using vacation time and their own money to get to San Francisco.
"For me, the frustration is the fact that good work is getting done by government employees and we're not able to showcase that. We're not able to show people what we are doing in support of our government and, frankly, those tax dollars," one Army Corps employee said. "I just don't think this was the intention of the restriction, and it's not being implemented consistently from one government agency to another."

The Tau Ceti Five
Tau Ceti has street cred. Lying only 11.9 light years away, it is the second-closest single G-type star. It's older than the Sun, and photometrically quiet. It's naked-eye visible from both hemispheres, ensuring VIP seating at any SETI fundraiser.
And so what about planets? It's been clear for a few years that Tau Ceti has a zeroth-order dissimilarity with the solar system. That is, if it had a Jovian-mass planet in a Jovian-like orbit, a press conference would have been dedicated to it several years ago. Indeed, because it is so bright and so quiet, Tau Ceti is among the handful of stars in the sky that are best suited to long-term high-precision monitoring via the Doppler velocity technique. It's at or near the top of the list for all of the major Doppler surveys.
Tau Ceti displays a marked excess luminosity in the far-infrared. Blotchy sub-millimeter images imply that this excess luminosity arises from a wide ring of cold dust at Pluto-like distances from the star. In this picture, the radiating dust arises from ongoing collisions within a Kuiper belt-like disk comprising roughly an Earth-mass worth of icy asteroidal bodies:
Tau Ceti's Kuiper belt seems to be about ten times more massive than our own Kuiper belt, despite the fact that Tau Ceti's metallicity is only about one-third that of the Sun. There's little risk in hypothesizing (read hand-waving) that the low metallicity of Tau Ceti's protoplanetary disk meant slow growth for Tau Ceti's retinue of proto-Jovian cores, which subsequently missed out on rapid gas accretion. The ensuing presence of Neptunes, and the concomitant absence of a Jupiter, generated a different dynamical history compared to the Solar System's — namely one with more stuff left over at the end of the day in the icy outer reaches.
Given this picture, the a-priori odds are excellent that Tau Ceti resembles tens of billions of ordinary, single Population I stars in the galaxy and also harbors multiple inner planets with masses between Earth and Neptune, on nearly circular, nearly co-planar orbits with periods of 100 days or less. Should such worlds exist in orbit around Tau Ceti, then it's likely that sufficient radial velocity data now exist to dig them out…
Readers surely noticed the paper by Mikko Tuomi and colleagues that was posted to astro-ph earlier this month. Tuomi and collaborators report on a joint analysis of three large-N data sets that comprise thousands of radial velocity measurements (from HARPS, KECK and AAT) spanning a total time base line in excess of 13 years. Ideally, one would like have a fully definitive conclusion emerge from such a massive data set, but frustratingly, Tau Ceti is holding its cards very close to the vest, and as radial velocity half-amplitudes inexorably drop below K=1 m/s, this will be an increasingly common behavior from other nearby high-value stars. In their arXiv preprint, Toumi et al. lay off their risk and remain ambiguous regarding actual detections of actual planets, providing only a fully hedged speculation at the end of the abstract, that these "periodicities could be interpreted as corresponding to planets…"
The modeling strategy for Tau Ceti taken in the Tuomi et al. paper provides an alternative to the approach adopted by Dumusque et al. in digging the K=0.5 m/s Alpha Cen Bb out of a similarly challenging data set. For both systems, the authors adopt the stance that it is no longer sufficient to write off excess scatter in radial velocity fits as "stellar jitter". Dumusque's team developed a physical model for starspot activity migrating latitudinally on a differentially rotating star, and also modeled the convective blueshift arising from stellar activity. Application of these physical models spurred the removal of systematic "noise" from the time series, thereby revealing a candidate Earth-mass planet in a 3.2-day orbit. Tuomi et al. excavate five potential planets by exploring the use of ARMA(p,q) — AutoRegressive Moving Average — models which recognize that (in addition to a Keplerian signal) both the value of given velocity measurement as well as its accompanying error are potentially correlated with previous measurements. ARMA models and their generalizations, ARCH, GARCH, NGARCH, etc., are an old standby for modeling financial time series. Near-term VIX predictions anyone?
Indeed, planet detection and trading have certain similarities. Noisy signals, non-stationary processes, cut-throat competition, and the opportunity to land yourself in the media spotlight when things go awry.
And the possible planets? Should the signals isolated by Tuomi et al turn out to be both real and Keplerian, then Tau Ceti will join the legions of stars in the galaxy that harbor fully ordinary planetary systems.

However: 128 nodes L9/133 MHz config: Node cost = $1,595 128 nodes L9/200 MHz config: Node cost = $1,895 For more than 128 ports, the number of switches increases to keep a guaranteed full-bissection, it adds about $500 per node. However, up to 128 nodes, you need only one switch. and the numbers I gave are correct.

Ok, I will say again what I think about these comparaisons: it's already hard to compare dollars (what about discount, what about support, what about software, etc) despite that it the same dollars, it's wasting time to do that for micro-benchmarks. It's something you do when you want to publish something in a conference next to a beach. When a customer asks me about performance, I don't give him my NAS or PMB numbers, he doesn't care. He wants access to a XXX nodes machine to play with and run his set of applications, or he gives a list of codes to the vendors for the bid and the vendors guarantee the results because it's used officially in the bid process. If someone buys a machine because the NAS look pretty and his CFD code sucks, this guy will take his stuffs and look for a new job. Do you spend time to tune NAS ? I don't. People already told me that the NAS LU test sucks on MPICH-GM. Well, the LU algorithm in HPL is much better. How many application behaves like the NAS LU, how many like HPL ? If a customer comes to me because his code behaves like NAS LU, I will tell him what to tune in his code to be more efficient. The pitfall with benchmarks is that you want to tune your MPI implementation to looks good on them. In real world, you cannot expect to run efficiently a code on a machine without tuning it, specially with MPI.

The Lost Scorpion Found: 1953 Kinross F-89 May Have Crashed "Head-On" with UFO
Primary tabs
Amazing new photos have been released by The Great Lakes Dive Company concerning their discovery of the famous Kinross F-89 Scorpion jet fighter that disappeared over Lake Superior on November 23, 1953. The plane had been ordered to investigate an unknown object that was being tracked on radar. (see original story - here)
The photos released today show the object that lies on the bottom of the lake less than 215 feet from the plane's wreckage.

One of The Great Lakes Dive Company's engineers came up with an ingenious idea. He cannibalized a forward-looking fish finder and then fed the signal through the Sharc2 software and suddenly they had images of the object. The Sharc2 software was designed to be used with "state-of-the-art" wide trajectory side scan sonar. The fish finder on board was normally used to find shallow rocks and shoals.

Spokesman for the company, Adam Jimenez, stated, "We didn't notice the object at first when we discovered the plane, but when we did a detailed search surrounding the aircraft (trying to locate the missing wing), a portion of the side scan came back distorted in an area near the wreckage of the F-89. We focused on this area and tried to scan it with the Sharc2 but had no luck it was still distorted. One of our team recalled that F-89's were known to carry a nuclear weapon called a "Genie" rocket. Although this rocket was not deployed until later versions of the F-89, we didn't know if some sort of covert testing may have happened on earlier versions, and this could be what was causing our equipment issues. Returning with a Geiger counter a day later, we put the theory to the test and....no radiation levels were detected."
Initially, the object appeared to be large and almost tear-drop in shape. It was only 212.5 feet from the F89! Jimenez added, "But the scan showed something very interesting...a plow mark trailing behind the object (as if it had crashed). This plow mark caused us to focus our immediate attention on the object, we lowered our ROV (remotely operated vehicle) to it and confirmed that the mystery object was metallic, and also had a strike mark that matched the missing wing hole on the F-89c Scorpion. It is possible that the missing wing may be underneath the mystery object.
The section of the object that is visible above the sand is approximately 15 feet long by 8.4 feet wide and as previously mentioned has a tear-drop shape. But this may be just the tip of the iceberg with the majority of the craft hidden below tons of sand.
Except for the wreckage of the F-89 Scorpion and the unidentified object there is nothing else on the lake bottom for miles. Jimenez said, "Our conclusion is that it would be highly coincidental for this object containing a suspicious strike mark and plowed near the F-89 to not have anything to do with the crash."
We will have to wait until next year and the new dive season for more answers about this mysterious object and the fate of the crew of the F-89 Scorpion.
