Here's U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, explaining why she is not running for a fourth term for the Senate as had been expected. Snowe has been a moderate Republican voice and one of the few Republicans willing to cross party lines to forge a compromise. She laments the loss of bipartisanship in the Senate and in politics. As former U.S. Sen. James Jeffords, I-Vermont, did almost a decade ago, she is leaving her post discouraged by a party and a political system that seems to have lost its way. It's an informative and important piece to read.

Before Ubuntu Was SimplyMepis: A Long-Term Review
The Big Move
Before Ubuntu there was Mepis. At that time it was one of the most user-friendly Linux distribution available. Despite being overshadowed by the popularity of Ubuntu in recent years, SimplyMepis is still one of the most friendly desktop distributions in the Linux landscape. I've been a fan from its early days and I try to test every release. While it often remains a choice on my rarely booted laptop, I've not used it as a long-term solution on my daily workhorse - until 8.0. This release I packed up a USB kitbag with my Mail folders, Akregator data, bookmarks, wallpapers, and other essentials collected from six years with Gentoo and moved into my new distro. Moving to SimplyMepis wasn't stressful at all. In fact, it was quick and easy. But how would it hold up to the rigors of daily use?
The Move
The move to a new distribution must begin with obtaining a disk. While Mepis appreciates your support, it is available as a free download as well. Once the image is stored locally, it can easily be burned to a standard 700 MB CD-R. Since it's a live CD, one can test it on their target machine before actually changing anything. I booted the default option, but others are available as well as handy boottime Cheatcodes to accommodate cranky or exotic hardware.
Once at the desktop one can begin to get an idea if SimplyMepis is for them. The screen resolution was set optimally per my monitor specifications and my internet connection was ready to use. SimplyMepis ships with KDE 3.5.10 for those, like myself, still leery of making the leap to KDE 4. It comes with a professional-grade background and an attractive panel. The menu is based on the KDE original for easy navigation and SimplyMepis retains the familiar and effective KDE Control Center. Not all of the KDE components will come with the default install, but most of the more commonly used applications are included and the rest are easily installed through Synpatic (the APT graphical front-end). I haven't looked for anything that I didn't find as of yet.
After looking around and finding the performance of SimplyMepis to be exceptional for a live CD, I decided it was time to install onto my harddrive. The easy-to-use wizard makes installing worry-free even from a new user's standpoint. One nice aspect of the installer is the detailed instructions for each step. If one needs to partition their drive, GParted, one of the easiest graphical partitioners, is available as well as the option for Auto-install or install onto existing partitions. The Auto-install will use the entire disk but it does have the option of allowing the user to leave some free space for other purposes. The supported filesystems include Ext3 and Reiserfs. After the installation of the system one can choose some limited GRUB options although I did have to do some manual editing to add other systems on my machine. Next are some basic configuration steps to set up hostname, keymaps, users, and root password. All in all, the process was very fast and easy.
Once booted into my new desktop, the process of unpacking and setting up began. The first thing I needed to do was install proprietary graphic drivers for my video card so I can make use of a dual-screen display. Fortunately, SimplyMepis makes this process easy as pie too. SimplyMepis provides several assistants (configuration tools) to aid users with such things as adding more users, repairing your bootloader, or setting up X Window System. With the latter one can set up their mouse, monitor, dots per inch, and graphic drivers. In addition to installing the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, it also allowed me to set up Twinview, Shadow Cursor, placement and resolution of the second monitor. That was so much easier than experimenting with the Xorg configuration file manually as I've had to do in the past with some other distributions.
All the other hardware on my desktop system was fully supported and easy to set up if not automagically done. My TV card is never configured accurately and requires my intervention, but it worked very well afterwards. In fact, the picture quality rendered from various television applications was superior to that seen in other distros. My printer was easily set up using the graphical KDE printer configuration. Sound and the Internet connection was auto-detected and ready to use at first boot.
Next I moved in my essential files. KDE applications have export and import functions for this, but it can be just as effective to move the files manually. Once I had everything setup and ready for use, I resumed my usual daily activities.

text: Book Highlights Need for Sustainable Diets August 27, 2012 11:02 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Fran Howard AgWeb Contributing Writer Email A recently released a book titled Sustainable Diets and Biodiversity that points out the pace of loss in biodiversity and the degradation of ecosystems—along with emerging health issues related to diet and nutrition, particularly diabetes and cardiovascular disease—make it imperative that the world address current food systems and agricultural practices. The book was published by the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization and Biodiversity International. "While over 900 million people in the world suffer from hunger, even more–about 1.5 billion–are overweight or obese, and an estimated 2 billion suffer from micronutrient malnutrition including vitamin A, iron, or iodine deficiency," says Barbara Burlingame, principal officer of FAO's Nutrition and Consumer Protection Division. Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals, and by some definitions can also include bioactive non-nutrients (e.g., polyphenols), Burlingame says. "In the past, including during the Green Revolution, there was the widespread belief that if dietary energy requirements were met—and therefore people were not hungry—the micronutrient requirements would also be met. We know this is not true – hence the term 'hidden hunger,' which is low intake of vitamins and minerals even when the energy content of the diet (or caloric intake) was adequate. Aside from iodine and vitamin D, which are special cases, the key micronutrients deficiencies mentioned are vitamin A, iron, and zinc." A varied diet will usually protect a person against micronutrient malnutrition, she adds. The book notes that high-input industrial agriculture and the ability to transport food products long distances have made refined carbohydrates and fats affordable and available worldwide. As a result, diets have become more simplified, relying on a limited number of energy-rich foods that lack nutrient quality and have heavy carbon and water footprints. For instance, Burlingame says that rain-fed rice production has a lower carbon and water-use footprint than irrigated, intensive rice systems. The book notes that currently corn, wheat, and rice provide 60 percent of the world's dietary energy from plant-based foods at the global level, and large numbers of people are abandoning traditional plant-based foods for meat, dairy products, fats, and sugar. "This is a problem for several reasons, one important reason being that when diets are heavily reliant on single-starch staples, which are often highly refined, micronutrient intakes are usually poor," says Burlingame. "High agriculture chemical inputs are required for these intensive cropping systems, disrupting normal ecosystems processes. In addition, these crops are usually mono-varietal, and thus the biodiversity within a genus or species declines." The book notes that intensive agricultural is also playing a role in the world's shrinking genetic diversity of both plants and animals. According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, 17,291 out of 47,677 species—about 36 percent—worldwide are threatened with extinction. "There is an urgent need to change the paradigm of agricultural production in order to integrate the dimension of nutritional quality in our decisions as to what to produce and where," says Emile Frison, director general of Rome-based Bioversity International. "This requires us to move beyond the major staples and to look at the many hundreds and thousands of neglected and underutilized plant and animal species that mean the difference between an unsustainable and a sustainable diet."

Is Jacob Zuma South Africa's George W Bush?
The motion of no confidence filed against President Jacob Zuma last week is a foolish one. Clearly the opposition is just interested in making a point, which will be forgotten and swallowed by the news cycle in a matter of days.
In fact, we, the general public, are already bored by it altogether. Having said that, I don't think that one must not fight simply because they know they will lose.
I would understand if the motion of no confidence filed last week against Zuma was presented on the basis of actual findings tabled before Parliament, and if we had empirical and irrefutable evidence which clearly points to wrongdoing on the part of the president.
Suspicion is not evidence. Yes we have suspicions, but we don't have any proof that he has broken the law. The desperation to get rid of this guy must not cause people to disobey the Constitution. In the end, you don't break the law, you break yourself against the law. Time will tell if any laws were broken and who broke himself in the act.
I would rather we have a robust debate as a nation like we did a year ago about the Protection of State Information Bill instead of talking about Nkandla. I would rather we have a barney about e-tolling than messing around about The Spear, or listening to the SACP telling us how we should treat the office of the president with dignity.
What the SACP fails to say is that the occupant first needs to treat the office with the dignity it deserves. You give the office dignity, it doesn't give you dignity. Dignity is not given, it is earned. Mandela earned it. And yes, I will compare Zuma to Mandela. Why should we set the bar low? We are not that kind of people. We are not that kind of country. If we are to be a leading nation in the world, we have to set ourselves impossible standards, not impossibly low ones.
Why should a powerful man already protected by many laws and a security detail need to have his feelings protected? Why should his rights be over and above those of yours and mine?
I want to have confidence in Zuma. I have prayed and I have even burned impepho. I want to help him get us to reach for the stars but he has not made me believe. I want to be led but there is no vision.
I really do feel sympathy for him because not a week goes by without his name being brandished about. The last guy comedians had a field day with, like they currently do with Zuma, has to be former US president George W Bush. People called him dumb, he didn't know what he was doing, he was in over his head. When his two terms were up, he left a trail of destruction behind him. He started and didn't finish two wars. He managed Hurricane Katrina horribly.
He left a crumbling economy that Barack Obama is still trying to fix. America was losing 800 000 jobs a month when Obama took office.
I fear that we are headed in the same direction. Bush came into power after a dubious Supreme Court decision. The court stopped a recount in Florida which gave the electoral college victory to Bush. We know the Zuma came into power under questionable circumstances surrounding certain spy tapes, which Zuma's allies are doing everything they can to ensure that they never see the light of day.
Our disasters have been Nkandla, Marikana, service delivery protests (there has been a record number under this president), the spy tapes and the threat to press freedom.
We demand to be led better. It pains me a great deal to say this but deep down, when we are being honest with ourselves, we know that the president is not going to lead us any better. Top ANC people know this and whisper it behind closed doors because they don't want to lose their positions or appear to be disloyal. It does not feel good to say that the person you want to believe in isn't doing a good job.
Unfortunately, saying that the president isn't doing a good job is seen as disrespectful, anti-Zuma, counter-revolutionary and not showing respect to the office of the president. The SACP has shown more interest in protecting Jacob Zuma's person than looking out for the interest of the people. The people's party has become a person's party. Instead, we are expected to sit quietly and take it all in and pretend that it is all good when it isn't.
We write things not because we don't like the man. We write so that he may know what people out there are thinking about him. Mr President, history is not going to be kind to you at all. I'm sorry to say. And as we look at your track record and your probable second term, nothing tells us that things will get much better.
Mr President, lead with vision, justly, morally, apply your mind, look out for us and not for yourself. Listen to your critics, meet them, hear them, incorporate their ideas. Remember that your critics are not all your enemies but friends of the ANC, but even above that, they are lovers of this country you promised to serve.
If you are only going to listen to people who say you are amazing and you are doing a great job, then this is not the job for you. Then you are really going to be the George W Bush of South Africa. And I'm pretty sure you don't want that. We don't want that.
How history judges you is in your hands. The good book says in Proverbs 23:7, "As a man thinketh, so is he." What do you think about? Mr President, be as you wish to be remembered. If you can't, quit.

The evil empire strikes again
Yes, it's happened again. In the past week, I've had two more DMCA-related deletions from this blog. I wouldn't even mind if it was a fair cop, but the posts that were targeted make no sense at all. One of these was on Glasvegas from last year using demo mp3s that were freely available on the band's myspace at the time, and before they signed with Columbia. Given other bloggers' experience, this retrospective targeting was only to be expected. The other was a post featuring tracks from Esser and Calexico, BOTH of which were sent to me by PRs with the express purpose of posting.
I'm getting fed up of this, and before any posts that I really value get deleted, I'm going to suspend activity here until I work out how to migrate The Daily Growl to a self-hosted blog, which should give me some breathing space. I'm no technical whizz, but I've got to learn. So bear with me. Normal service should hopefully be restored before too long...
44 comments:
sorry to hear, especially when it's so idiotic... waiting for the next version of the site.

It seems there's an increased amount of these going on all over the place. I'm going to have to keep watch on mine to make sure things aren't getting randomly deleted, too.

It seems to be happening to a lot of blogs, particularly those who have old Glasvegas tracks, who at the time were probably owned by the band, but may have now been sold on. The whole area of intellectual property is a very grey area... if someone gives you a song but then they sell the ownership rights on, do they sell the rights to material that they have already passed on to others ?
It is because of this grey area and the danger of this happening that I choose not to provide MP3's for people to listen to on my blog, simply links to the bands myspace page (if they have one) so that people can listen to the songs "legally". Not because of any moral / legal high high ground that I'm taking, but simply so that my blog doesn't get mucked around by "The man" like many others seem to be experiencing at the moment.
Good luck with the revamped blog !

as long as you provide emusic links I'll be happy

Ta folks. Robin, in this climate yours is probably a wise move, but I do intend to keep posting tracks. theneedledrop - you've been lucky. Watch your back! Not that you can do anything about it as long as you're on Blogger though.

My blog has been getting nicked too. It's beginning to take the wind out of my sails. It's like "hey, sorry for all the free promotion"

- MFM said...
The same has been happening to mine. What I'm doing to solve the problem (to some extent) is I'm saving the html of each post in a word document so that if and when a post gets deleted, I can just up it again without the link to a song.
But if you find a way to self-host yr. blog please let me know so I can consider doing the same!
- 12:30 pm
unfortunately if you're listed on hype machine or Elbo.ws then wherever you host, you're gonna be easy to find. Shame coz i love those services, but then so do the major label lawyers (in Glassvegas case, Columbia) who have realised they can be used to make finding stuff really easy.
Simple message is to tell bands that if they're signed to a major, they won't be written about. They suffer, you suffer and we suffer. But fuck it - Gradually new artists will think twice about signing to labels run by lawyers rather than people who love music.
- 7:47 pm
- The Daily Growl said...
Hey people - thanks for all the messages (and emails) of support. I'm in the process of moving this here blog over to a new domain at www.thedailygrowl.co.uk - have a look to see progress. All the posts are currently there, but it still looks a bit rubbish. Give me time, and it'll be lovely.

What a fine day! Let's talk about UGG Boots' history today.
From Australia's Official Dictionary: The Macquarie Concise Dictionary - ugg boots / Australian 100% merino sheepskin lined boot. Also called ugh boot , ugg boot.
Did you know that Australian Sheepskin Ugg boots have always been called Ug, Ugh or Ugg boots and have been made in Australia for almost 200 years? "We always called them Uggs, Smith says, "long before it was a trademarked brand." Brian Smith, Founder UGG Holdings, Inc. Los Angeles Magazine October 1st, 2001
The Ugg Boots Story
The original Ug Boot. "Ug," (also spelled "Ugg" and "Ugh" in Australian dictionaries) is not a brand name but an age old generic term for this style of Australian-made sheepskin boot. In Aussie slang, the Ug name is short for "ugly." In terms of comfort, however, the Ug Boot is a thing of beauty. The softness of the Australian Merino sheepskin produces a boot with a snug, cozy, form-fitting feel that's more like a sock than a shoe, yet it's rugged enough for outdoor wear. The fleece lining has the astonishing property of providing year-round comfort. In cold weather, the plush fleece provides an insulating layer of warmth by trapping your body heat, much like goose down does. But in the heat of summer, the natural fibers of the fleece actually cool your feet by wicking away perspiration.
Growing Up in Uggs
By the 1970s, in Perth, the largest city on Australia's West Coast, Ugg boots were being manufactured by several small companies in the area. Perth has much the same climate as Southern California and is also a haven for surfers, whom Aussies call "surfies." And it was the community of surfies at the great surfing beaches at Margaret River near Perth who first adopted Ugg Boots as their footwear of choice and made them a symbol of the Aussie surfing lifestyle.
Ug Fever Spreads
From the beaches of Western Australia, Ugs were soon seen on the feet of East Coast surfers from Brisbane to Sydney. And it wasn't long before some of these surfers -- the ones who traded their surfboards for skis in the winter -- found that their Ugg Boots were just as at home in the ski resort areas of the Snowy Mountains as they were on the warm sands of Sydney's Bondi Beach.
It was Aussie surfers, traveling the world in search of the perfect wave, who first introduced their mates in Southern California to the pleasures of the Ug Boot. Ugs soon became a cult fashion among those L.A. surfers who could depend on a buddy 'down under" to send them a pair of boots.
Ug Essentials
Today the Ug "secret" is out. You'll find these versatile ugg boots to be in fashion on beaches from San Diego to Santa Cruz and in ski resorts from Tahoe to Vail. And today, you don't have to "know someone" in Australia who will send you a pair, since there are now a number of companies importing boots of this type. But, if you want the genuine article, you do have to know what you're looking for because, no matter how they spell it -- Ug, Ugg or Ugh -- there are several importers with look-alike products that fall short of being the real thing.
If you want genuine Ugg Boots -- well-made boots with all the qualities that made the original so desirable -- you'll want to make sure that.....
The boots are made from 100% Australian Merino Sheepskin. This will ensure your purchase is made of the finest Sheepskin hide avaliable.
Please Note:
Beware of very cheap imitations... quite a few boots on the market are made of cow suede with sawn on sheepskin inner fleece off cuts.... Don't take the chance and purchase these boots.... the external cow suede does not breath like 100% sheepskin does and will leave you with a smelly sweaty boot... But I must say these boots do look like the real thing but just don't cut the mustard when compared to authentic ugg boots
What do you think after you reading this UGG Boots history? Just hope you'd like it, see you next time!

Is direct deposit available for refunds?
Yes, please complete the Direct Deposit Authorization for Financial Aid Refunds form.
How much is my refund?

Students will be assessed the appropriate fees associated with his/her add or drop. A student may need to make an additional payment even if he/she have already received a financial aid refund check.

ACH means your refund will be direct deposited to your bank account.
What does a stipend mean on my student account on ePortal?
A stipend means a check or ACH has been processed. Please allow 7-10 days to receive this refund.
How do I consolidate my loans?
You can only consolidate your loans if you have graduated and are still within your grace period or you have entered repayment. The last year for in-school consolidation to be accepted was 2006.
What funding options do I have other than the Federal Direct Stafford Unsubsidized Loan?
The Chicago School offers fellowships, scholarships, and faculty and teaching assistantships as part of our institutional aid program to full-time students. Another option is a Graduate PLUS or an alternative loan. We highly recommend that you first apply for a Grad PLUS Loan versus an alternative loan. The benefits for Grad PLUS are similar to the benefits of Stafford loans such as, it has fixed rate (the current rate is 7.9), and you will be able to defer and/or consolidate. With an alternative loan, the interest is variable and you are not able to defer or consolidate. Both the Grad PLUS and alternative loans require certification from the school. We cannot certify aid above a student's cost of attendance.
How do I know if I have been awarded a scholarship?
Scholarship notifications will be mailed at least a month after the deadline to all scholarship applicants.
What if my financial aid does not cover my tuition?
Please contact Office of Student Accounts to set-up payment arrangements.
I have a two holds – a transcript and registration hold. What does this mean?
This could mean you have an unpaid balance, an admissions contingency, etc. This hold prevents you from registering for courses and requesting transcripts. Your balance must be paid prior to being able to register or request transcripts. For more information, please visit your eportal homepage and review your Messages for "holds" to review which department you should be contacting to resolve.
I have an FA hold on my account. Can I register for classes?
An FA hold will not prevent a student from registering or requesting transcripts. It does mean that we need to look a carefully at your FAFSA information, which may require some more documentation from you.

Adoption of Windows 8 by business users has been slow across Western Europe, analyst figures have shown, with the consumer-friendly operating system lacking wider appeal.
In the month following its launch, figures released by analysts Context show that sales of hardware using Windows 8 made up 52 percent of all Windows OS sales across the region. This meant that sales of devices to retailers and resellers were six points lower than Windows 7 during the same period following its launch in the autumn of 2009.
However, the figures highlight that the difference is even more marked when comparing the sales directly to business users.
Following the launch of the well received Windows 7, the operating system quickly accounted for almost a third of all sales to businesses, accounting for 31 percent during November 2009. In comparison, Windows 8 sales to businesses in the month after its release amounted to just 8 percent.
"We know that PC sales overall declined over the last few months and it looks like Windows 8 has so far not had the boosting effect that many in the business had been hoping for," commented Jeremy Davies, CEO and co-founder at CONTEXT.
The good news for Microsoft is that its overtly consumer focused Windows 8 'Metro' interface appears to have had more success away from business users. During November sales of Windows 8 to consumers accounted for 68 percent of purchases, compared to 65 percent for Windows 7 during the same period.
Reports on the initial success of Windows new operating system have so far been conflicting. Microsoft itself has claimed that it had sold 40 million Windows 8 licenses shortly after the release of the software, with top staff heralding the most important launch since Windows 95.
However, hardware vendors have indicated that sales of Windows 8 devices are lower than were expected on the launch, while analysts have not been optimistic of the outlook for the platform.

Sciatica is a common problem for many people that is identified by pain that starts in the lower back or buttocks, and then travels down to one or both legs. he sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the entire body, and is composed of individual nerve roots that branch out from inside the spine and then come together to form the large sciatic nerve. It is usually a dull, achy pain, but can also be sharp in nature. It does not usually cause a feeling of 'pins and needles', hot and cold sensation, numbness or muscle weakness.
Sciatic nerve pain varies in intensity and frequency; minimal, moderate, severe and occasional, intermittent, frequent or constant. Symptoms may include:
- Weakness, numbness, or difficulty moving the leg or foot
- Burning or tingling running down the leg
- A shooting pain that makes it difficult to stand up
- A constant pain on one side of the rear
- Pain in the leg or rear that is worse when sitting
While symptoms can be painful and potentially debilitating, it is rare that permanent sciatic nerve damage (tissue damage) will result, and spinal cord involvement is possible but rare.
What is Grand Crossing, Florida Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractors practice primarily using their hands, providing diagnosis, treatment and preventive care for disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system and joints. Doctors of chiropractic use the same time-honored methods of consultation, case history, physical examination, laboratory analysis and x-ray examination as any other doctor.
Most Grand Crossing, Florida chiropractors seek to reduce pain and improve the functionality of patients as well as to educate them on how they can account for their own health via exercise, ergonomics and other therapies to treat back pain. Chiropractic is licensed in all 50 states and some estimate that 1 in 3 people with back pain are treated by a chiropractor at least once. Many MD's regularly refer their patients to Chiropractors for help with a range of symptoms, everything from migraines and joint pain, to constipation and visual problems.
Grand Crossing, Florida Chiropractic Care for Sciatica
While prescription medication or some over-the-counter (OTC) pain meds or anti-inflammatory formulas may provide some temporary relief, we advocate treatment that gets to the source of the problem: a structural examination by a chiropractor that may include spinal x-rays, chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy. Since there are many disorders that cause sciatica, the chiropractor"s first step is to determine what is causing the patient"s sciatica. A chiropractic examination, which includes a neurological examination, can find out what the cause of your leg pain is, so the most appropriate treatment can be given.
A chiropractor in Grand Crossing, Florida 32254 can help bring relief, but several treatments, or adjustments, will likely be needed, particularly if it has been occurring for some time. Adjustment techniques vary from a swift high velocity thrust to those that combine minimal force and gentle pressure. If the doctor of chiropractic determines the patient"s disorder requires treatment by another type of doctor, then the patient is referred to another specialty.
Get an initial consultation near you:
Choosing the Chiropractic For Sciatica in Grand Crossing, Florida
There are a lot of chiropractors out there to choose from, and they are not all created equal. Education, experience, costs, location, and up-to-date equipment and facilities are just some of the factors that you might consider when selecting a chiropractor. You should never decide to use a certain chiropractor in Duval County, Florida based solely on pricing, but you should absolutely choose a chiropractor that offers payment options that match your payment ability. In most cases, you'll want to see that the chiropractor has many years of experience and has been working at the clinic for a substantial amount of time. Since healthcare is a partnership between you and healthcare provider, it is important to not only choose a highly trained and knowledgeable chiropractor, but also a chiropractor with a personality that meshes well with yours.
In addition to understanding the chiropractor"s spinal manipulation technique, education and overall style, it is a good idea to consider the fees/payment plans and the business setup of the chiropractic clinic, along with several other factors, before selecting a chiropractor. For most people, it is important to feel comfortable with the chiropractor and the clinic to have an overall positive treatment experience. It is prudent to be alert for chiropractic clinics that rely on certain types of marketing approaches to procure new patients or to encourage them to sign up for long-term treatment.

Five Finger Death Punch 'Remember Everything' in Dramatic New Video
Metal heavyweights Five Finger Death Punch bring a cinematic narrative to their latest video for the uncharacteristically heartfelt single 'Remember Everything.'
The days of big-budget music videos that play like short films may be behind us, but Five Finger Death Punch have decided to revive the lost art of storytelling in their latest clip for 'Remember Everything.' "We're tired of band videos where all you see is musicians playing in some random church or out in a desert," frontman Ivan Moody explained to USA Today. "We thought this song deserved something with more taste and passion to it."
The band's latest single trades the aggressive drive of past singles like 'Under and Over It,' to deliver a deeper autobiographical message about emotional neglect. "There were patterns in my family that had to be broken, and I refused to live my life the way certain members of my family had" said Moody of the lyrical inspiration behind the tune.
The heavy message is put on full display in the video that shows how emotional abuse manifests from childhood to adulthood. When the lyrics are paired with the imagery in the video, it adds a heart-breaking new angle to the experience. Although there are no instruments featured in the video, all the band members do make brief cameos throughout.
'Remember Everything' can be found on the band's third album, 'American Capitalist,' which has already sold over 300,000 copies since it's fall 2011 release. Five Finger Death Punch will embark on a 2012 North American tour with Soulfly, Windowpane and Persist this March.

SOUTH OZONE PARK — A week after the body of 24-year-old student Marisha Cheong washed up on a Queens shoreline, her family and friends mourned her death at a funeral service on Saturday.
Dozens gathered for an Islamic service of prayers and readings at Bergen Funeral Services on Rockaway Boulevard, including her family and close friends, with the exclusion of one person she was particularly close to, live-in boyfriend L.J. Balkaran, 26, PIX 11 reported.
The Long Island University student went missing on Dec. 19, from the home she shared with Balkaran, a man that Cheong's family members suspect of being involved in her disappearance.
After a two-month manhunt, Cheong washed up Feb. 16 along a Breezy Point beach, wearing pajama pants and with her hands bound by green rope.
"I just keep thinking about her. It's not fair," said Sarah Profeta, a friend, to PIX 11 at the service. "Why would somebody do that to her?"
Profeta said Balkaran would not have been welcome at the ceremony even if he had shown up.
"I think it would be safer for him that he wouldn't be here," she told the station. "There's a lot of hatred and anger in people's hearts. And the mom, I feel, did not want to mourn with him."


text: I seem to have muddied the waters of the original NVIDIA/CUDA post. Someone made the inaccurate statement that CUDA programming is difficult and time-consuming. I cited the MD5-example of my colleague as an example of how easy it is to port the code, and how significant the performance improvements could be. Some subscribers to this list questions these results,and the discussion quicky turned away from NVIDIA/CUDA/GPUs to MD5. I forward the e-mails to my colleague. Since he doesn't subscribe to this list, I'm replying based on information he has provided me. He hasn't asked me to reply on his behalf, I'm doing this on my onw to contribute to the discussion. My colleague who did this work, Mario Juric, is a member at the Institute for Advanced Study (member = postdoc) studying Astrophysics. Contrary to the assertion by Vincent that CUDA/GPUs are only for hobbyists, Mario is very interested in using GPUs to speed up his astrophysics research. The biggest hindrance to doing "real" work with GPUs is the lack of dual-precision capabilities. As we all know, that hindrance was eliminated yesterday. In November of 2007, Mario organized the AstroGPU Workshop here at the Institute to discuss the use of GPUs in Astrophysics (http://www.astrogpu.org/). This workshop serves as proof that there are scientists serious about using GPUs for real work (not just hobbyists). Now about that MD5 discussion... I forwarded Mario the replies to my post, and he replied thusly: <quote> Hi Prentice, The guy ... is right -- it's throughput for a lot of simultaneous computations, not for a computation of a single hash. If you attempt to compute a single hash on an entire card, you won't get any improvement. Same as you wouldn't if you tried it on a single vs. quad core CPU. But if you compute four hashes, than single vs. quad makes a huge difference. And the GPU cards are effectively 128 core CPUs, so when you need to compute millions of hashes... Feel free to e-mail them my online writeup at: http://majuric.org/software/cudamd5/ The full source code is there as well. That should clear a lot of things up. </quote> For those of you with questions about the MD5 performance, please see the link above, and better yet, take a look at Mario's code. The link includes lots of pretty graphs ;) <quote> Elcomsoft did the same thing, and sells it commercially: http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/24/elcomsoft-turns-your-pc-into-a-password-cracking-supercomputer/ </quote> NVIDIA has promised us some new GPUs through their Professor Partner program. I'm sure once we get our hands on them, we'll do more coding/benchmarking. Not sure if they'll be DP-capable units. -- Prentice Bisbal Linux Software Support Specialist/System Administrator School of Natural Sciences Institute for Advanced Study Princeton, NJ

Last week, MDS and yours truly disagreed on only one pick. I trusted the J-E-T-S, and he didn't.
So I finished 11-5, and he's already in second place with a 10-6 mark.
This week, we've doubled our disagreements. Which means that there's a good chance I'll be in second place by next week at this time.
Tune in to PFT Live this Thursday and every Thursday for MDS and yours truly talking about three or four of Sunday's games. And, yes, there may be gloating.
Bears at Packers
MDS's take: This is about as close as a Week Two game can get to being a must-win for the Packers. Lose here and they're two games behind the Bears, plus the Bears have the tiebreaker edge, plus they're 0-2 at Lambeau Field, plus they're behind the Lions and Vikings in the NFC North as well. Jay Cutler will have a good game against the Packers' suspect pass defense, but Aaron Rodgers will have an even better game, and the Packers will win with their backs to the wall.
MDS's pick: Packers 34, Bears 31.
Florio's take: The Packers have beaten the Bears in five of their last six games. And other than the 2010 NFC title game, none has been bigger than Thursday night's contest at Lambeau Field. If the Packers lose, the team that was 15-1 in 2011 will fall to 0-2 in 2012, with 25 percent of the home schedule completed. Look for the Packers' defense to find something close to their groove — finally — and for Green Bay to get things moving in the right direction with a strong offensive output.
Florio's pick: Packers 28, Bears 24.
Chiefs at Bills
MDS's take: Picking the Bills burned me in Week One, costing me the head-to-head battle with Florio in last week's picks. Will I learn from that mistake and avoid the Bills this time? Nope. I think the Bills are a better team than they showed against the Jets and should win a close one at home.
MDS's pick: Bills 14, Chiefs 10.
Florio's take: Last year, the Bills went to Arrowhead in Week One and spanked the Chiefs. This year, the Chiefs return the favor in Week Two. (And as long as MDS keeps picking the Bills, I'll keep building an edge in the season-long contest.)
Florio's pick: Chiefs 34, Bills 21.
Saints at Panthers
MDS's take: Can Cam Newton do to the Saints' defense what Robert Griffin III did? Or is the Panthers' offense going to lay an egg for the second week in a row? In a game that will leave the loser in a big hole in the NFC South, I'm picking the Panthers in a home upset.
MDS's pick: Panthers 27, Saints 24.
Florio's take: The loser of this game will fall to 0-2. For the Panthers, that would be a problem. For the Saints, it would be grounds for panic. Caught napping last Sunday against the Redskins, the Saints wake up in a big way.
Florio's pick: Saints 42, Panthers 24.
Browns at Bengals
MDS's take: Both of these teams looked bad in Week One, but the Browns seem to be on a different level of bad, because Brandon Weeden just doesn't look like he's ready to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. Joe Flacco showed on Monday night that a good quarterback can beat the Bengals deep, but Weeden is not a good quarterback.
MDS's pick: Bengals 24, Browns 10.
Florio's take: The Bengals lose the games they're supposed to lose, and they win the games they're supposed to win. That trend held on Monday night, and it'll hold on Sunday.
Florio's pick: Bengals 28, Browns 16.
Vikings at Colts
MDS's take: Andrew Luck had four turnovers in his debut against the Bears, but what would really concern me about that game if I were a Colts fan is that the Colts' defense didn't look any better than it did last year. Christian Ponder will have his second consecutive big game and the Vikings will start a surprising 2-0.
MDS's pick: Vikings 27, Colts 20.
Florio's take: Andrew Luck will always be compared to Peyton Manning. And Peyton Manning lost the first home game of his career. So if Luck can pull this one off, he'll already be ahead of the curve. Though the Vikings aren't nearly as good as they were the year that Peyton Manning entered the league, they're good enough to spoil Luck's debut at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Florio's pick: Vikings 24, Colts 20.
Texans at Jaguars
MDS's take: Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert looks like he's taken a big step forward since last season, and Jacksonville should put some points on the board. But the Jaguars won't be able to keep pace with the loaded Texans offense, and this game could get ugly.
MDS's pick: Texans 35, Jaguars 14.
Florio's take: Jaguars owner Shahid Khan wants to remove the tarps at EverBank Field. His players may want to hide under them when the Texans come to town.
Florio's pick: Texans 35, Jaguars 17.
Raiders at Dolphins
MDS's take: Both of these offenses looked like they leave a lot to be desired in their Week One losses, but I have a lot more faith in Carson Palmer turning things around than I have in Ryan Tannehill turning things around. The Dolphins, who started last season 0-7, will take another step toward another dismal start.
MDS's pick: Raiders 24, Dolphins 6.
Florio's take: The Raiders may need sunglasses to dull the glare of all those empty orange seats. And it will only get more empty in the second half.
Florio's pick: Raiders 24, Dolphins 17.
Cardinals at Patriots
MDS's take: The Cardinals somehow seem to keep playing in close, competitive, exciting games: Last year 13 of their 16 games were decided by a touchdown or less, and they went down to the wire against the Seahawks in Week One as well. So will they be in a close game again? No. The Patriots win this one easily.
MDS's pick: Patriots 34, Cardinals 14.
Florio's take: The two hottest teams over the last 10 regular-season games get together in Foxboro, but there's still a huge gap between the 9-1 Patriots and 8-2 Cardinals. Actually, there's a pretty big gap right now between the 9-1 Patriots and 31 other teams.
Florio's pick: Patriots 31, Cardinals 13.
Buccaneers at Giants
MDS's take: Greg Schiano had his team playing exactly the kind of tough, physical football he promised they would play in Week One against the Panthers, while the defending champion Giants looked surprisingly out of sorts in their Week One loss to the Cowboys. But the Giants are still the Giants and the Buccaneers are still the Buccaneers, and Week One will look like an anomaly when this game is over.
MDS's pick: Giants 27, Buccaneers 10.
Florio's take: This is the kind of game that Giants could have lost, if they'd beaten the Cowboys in Week One. But since the Giants lost to the Cowboys in Week One, they'll be guarding against another letdown — and quarterback Eli Manning will do what he has to do to propel the team in an early must-win situation.
Florio's pick: Giants 27, Buccaneers 17.
Ravens at Eagles
MDS's take: The Eagles won ugly in Week One, while the Ravens won big. Much like they did last year, the Eagles look like a team that's less than the sum of its parts, and I like the Ravens to go to Philadelphia and win.
MDS's pick: Ravens 24, Eagles 17.
Florio's take: A week after barely beating the toothless new Browns, the Eagles get a taste of the old Browns. By the time it's over, Mike Vick may need Jeffrey Lurie to push the wheelchair.
Florio's pick: Ravens 30, Eagles 21.
Redskins at Rams
MDS's take: I liked the way the Rams' defense looked in the first game of the Jeff Fisher era: Yes, they gave up 355 passing yards to Matthew Stafford in a loss to the Lions, but they also mixed up their coverages and picked Stafford off three times. The Rams will do a better job of containing Robert Griffin III than the Saints did, but the problem for St. Louis is that the offensive line is a mess, and they're not going to be able to put many points on the board.
MDS's pick: Redskins 20, Rams 13.
Florio's take: If the Rams had known how RG3 would make his NFL debut, the price for the pick that was sent to the Redskins would have been a lot higher than three ones and a two. And the Rams may regret sooner rather than later the decision to not simply pick Griffin themselves.
Florio's pick: Redskins 28, Rams 20.
Cowboys at Seahawks
MDS's take: Russell Wilson struggled against the Cardinals' defense, and he's going to struggle again against an athletic Cowboys defense that can limit Wilson's mobility. The fans in Seattle may be calling for Matt Flynn soon.
MDS's pick: Cowboys 21, Seahawks 6.
Florio's take: Tony Romo returns to Seattle for the first time since he fumbled the snap on a field goal that would have secured a win in his first career playoff game. This time around, the defense will be the difference, especially since the Seahawks' receivers are banged up.
Florio's pick: Cowboys 24, Seahawks 13.
Jets at Steelers
MDS's take: No one saw the Jets' offensive explosion coming last week, so maybe I'm underestimating them here, but I just don't like Mark Sanchez's chances of moving the ball effectively against the Steelers' defense.
MDS's pick: Steelers 17, Jets 10.
Florio's take: The Steelers saw some Tebowing late in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. The Steelers will be hoping to see none of it on Sunday.
Florio's pick: Steelers 20, Jets 10.
Titans at Chargers
MDS's take: Chargers linebacker Shaun Phillips had an excellent game against the Raiders, and he's going to make Titans quarterback Jake Locker's life very difficult on Sunday. The Chargers will be off to their first 2-0 start since 2006.
MDS's pick: Chargers 24, Titans 17.
Florio's take: The Chargers begin what could be one of their final seasons in San Diego in style. Except for all the empty seats at the stadium.
Florio's pick: Chargers 21, Titans 17.
Lions at 49ers
MDS's take: The Lions survived with an unimpressive win over the Rams at home, while the 49ers had an extremely impressive win over the Packers on the road. San Francisco may just have the best team in the NFL.
MDS's pick: 49ers 27, Lions 17.
Florio's take: The 49ers have gotten better since the last time these two teams met in Detroit. The Lions haven't.
Florio's pick: 49ers 31, Lions 17.
Broncos at Falcons
MDS's take: The loss of starting cornerback Brent Grimes is a huge blow to the Falcons, and Peyton Manning is the worst quarterback to face for a team trying to adjust to an injury in the secondary: Manning will find places to pick apart the Falcons' secondary and get a big road win against a good team.
MDS's pick: Broncos 31, Falcons 28.
Florio's take: Last year, Denver's defense kept games close long enough for the quarterback to do something heroic. This week, they'll do the same thing — without having to give up so few points.
Florio's pick: Broncos 38, Falcons 35.

by Kimberly Hollingsworth, AULA BA Student & Founder of Humanity Is Us
When will genocide matter? Does it have to be at our front door or happen to our families before we care enough to do something? That's my tough question. I used to believe that if the Holocaust happened today, there would have been such a tumultuous uproar that we would have stopped it before six million people were collected and murdered within a span of six years. Today, I'm not so sure.
The genocide in Rwanda never should have happened in 1994. While the international community closed their eyes, 800,000 Tutsis were slaughtered in 100 days. A member of the nonpermanent United Nations Security Counsel, the Czech representative, declared at one point, "Rwanda is not a priority for the Czech government, but as a human being I cannot sit here and do nothing."
I launched my anti-genocide organization Humanity Is Us on November 29, 2010. (See my previous article, "Conflict of Ethics: What Does Genocide Have to Do with Business?") While drowning in website designs, templates, hosting, domains, hyperlinks and other web hosting lingo, I also struggled with state and federal requirements for the protection of my embryonic entity. A simple idea was turning into a complicated responsibility. An AULA faculty member introduced me to a social entrepreneur who emotes action and possesses the same fire in the belly against genocide and rape camps that I do.
Andrew McGregor and the Tiziano Project
In May 2007, while a student in the master's program for journalism at the University of Southern California, Andrew McGregor found himself frustrated with the co-existence of global video-sharing and genocide: "How can there be a world with YouTube and undocumented atrocities at the same time?"
If the mainstream news had kept the acts of genocide on the nightly news, instead of allowing public interest or lack of comfort guide the headlines, the international public community of responsible citizens might have demanded immediate actions from their governments. Today, journalists have to worry about corporate responsibilities, self-preservation, media trends, competition, and universal bureaucracy. Accountability for the success of the business enterprise has created detachment from the original purpose of journalism. With a rush for headlines that grab viewers, journalists rush to report headlines without checking sources. As Andrew puts it, today's news has become a "propaganda whore." Sensationalism has replaced news that can make a difference in saving people's lives.
With moral impulse, he took leave from USC, hired a lawyer, and organized a nonprofit public-benefit corporation, the Tiziano Project. The mission: "The Tiziano Project provides community members in conflict, post-conflict, and underreported regions with the equipment, training, and affiliations necessary to report their stories and improve their lives." With limited funds, a few contacts, cameras, camcorders and a new idea for exposing crimes against humanity, Andrew left for Rwanda and commenced his quest to spread journalism.
Teaching Journalism to Change the World
Andrew joined forces with a friend, Thomas Rippe, to teach journalistic techniques at a local orphanage. An issue came up: since the Canadian government had already made arrangements to provide for these orphans for life, the orphans, ranging in age from twelve to thirty, lacked motivation to learn journalism.
Undaunted, the Tiziano Project then formed a collaboration with The German Development Company (DED), teaching radio techniques at a local youth house. It did not take long before the weekly radio program about genocide reconciliation aired on Voice of America, providing a trusted resource for updates and local information.
Andrew and Tom continued their traveling school of journalism between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). At refugee camps they shared writing, photo and video techniques, which empowered the locals and enabled collaborative efforts with the international community of professional journalists. Until that time, stifled voices were forced to wait for an outsider to speak on their behalf.
A week after Andrew left the DRC in 1998, violence broke out again. Within an hour, the refugees trained by Andrew and Tom were able to communicate with journalists, and CNN broke the story. "It was a turning point for us. When the story broke, it proved that the concept worked – it all worked. We had proof of the potential of the Tiziano Project."
Today, the Tiziano Project is supported by a community of journalists, and the Tiziano Project team itself consists of journalists who have other jobs. It's the calling, the purpose that keeps this team together. Eventually, the business plan requires funds for salaries so all participants can focus on their goal of keeping stories of atrocities in the mainstream news. I asked Andrew, "Why do you believe the Tiziano Project can help end genocide?" He explained, "It has to do with economics. Journalism can be helpful in creating jobs. Look at the child soldiers. The choices are limited: either you're a slave or a soldier."
Chessboxing and Advice for Students
Andrew, who stands six feet and almost ten inches tall and weighs 280 pounds, founded the L.A. Chessboxing club. The idea came from a poster he saw in Europe. Basically, chessboxing consists of eleven rounds (four minutes of chess, followed by three minutes of boxing), and starts and ends at the chessboard. First one to win by checkmate or a knockout is the winner. On February 27, 2010, Andrew claimed the title of U.S. Heavyweight Chessboxing Champion by checkmate in the fifth round.
Ironically, chessboxing helped Andrew build up his strength and his resolve to continue with his vocation. He also learned a valuable lesson about being there for others. It's important to maintain a balance between personal life and causes, "Without investing in yourself first, you have nothing to give — to anyone."
I asked Andrew for words of wisdom for the novice social entrepreneur. "Start as a student. Everyone helps students. They help because they know where you're coming from and that you're learning. If you're Joe from a business/organization that no one knows, they don't have a reference point." Andrew also suggested having a long-term corporate strategy, "Start focused and with obtainable goals." The last thing that he suggested, "Visually explain what you're doing and make a chronological record of it. We were so focused on the work and mission that initially, we missed the opportunity for the potential business development." It has been remedied.
Recently, the Tiziano Project won a $25,000 grant from a competition on Facebook and utilized it to showcase its product. It's easier to gain funding when funders can see what their money is buying. After all, today everything is related to business.

I have some data generated using MCMC methods and in particular Gibbs sampling. I computed the autocorrelation but I'm unsure how to determine how many samples to skip.
I'd like to determine that quantity from the autocorrelation function that I computed and not just use a "reasonable" value. Any documents to help me? Direct help is also welcome.
