Frame rate
Frame rate, also known as frame frequency and frames per second (FPS), is the frequency (rate) at which an imaging device produces unique consecutive images called frames. The term applies equally well to film and video cameras, computer graphics, and motion capture systems. Frame rate is most often expressed in frames per second (FPS) and is also expressed in progressive scan monitors as hertz (Hz).
The threshold of human visual perception varies depending on what is being measured. When looking at a lighted display, people begin to notice a brief interruption of darkness if it is about 16 milliseconds or longer.[1] Observers can recall one specific image in an unbroken series of different images, each of which lasts as little as 13 milliseconds.[2] When given very short single-millisecond visual stimulus people report a duration of between 100 ms and 400 ms due to persistence of vision in the visual cortex. This may cause images perceived in this duration to appear as one stimulus, such as a 10 ms green flash of light immediately followed by a 10 ms red flash of light perceived as a single yellow flash of light.[3] Persistence of vision may also create an illusion of continuity, allowing a sequence of still images to give the impression of motion.
Early silent films had stated frame rates anywhere from 16 to 24 FPS,[4] but since the cameras were hand-cranked, the rate often changed during the scene to fit the mood. Projectionists could also change the frame rate in the theater by adjusting a rheostat controlling the voltage powering the film-carrying mechanism in the projector.[5] Silent films were often intended to be shown at higher frame rates than those used during filming.[6] These frame rates were enough for the sense of motion, but it was perceived as jerky motion. By using projectors with dual- and triple-blade shutters, the rate was multiplied two or three times as seen by the audience. Thomas Edison said that 46 frames per second was the minimum need by the visual cortex: "Anything less will strain the eye."[7][8] In the mid to late 1920s, the frame rate for silent films increased to between 20 and 26 FPS.[7]
When sound film was introduced in 1926, variations in film speed were no longer tolerated as the human ear is more sensitive to changes in audio frequency. Many theaters had shown silent films at 22 to 26 FPS which is why 24 FPS was chosen for sound. From 1927 to 1930, as various studios updated equipment, the rate of 24 FPS became standard for 35 mm sound film.[9] At 24 FPS the film travels through the projector at a rate of 456 millimetres (18.0 in) per second. This allowed for simple two-blade shutters to give a projected series of images at 48 per second, satisfying Edison's recommendation. Many modern 35 mm film projectors use three-blade shutters to give 72 images per second—each frame is flashed on screen three times.[7]
Motion picture film[edit]
In the motion picture industry, where traditional film stock is used, the industry standard filming and projection formats are 24 frames per second (fps). Historically, 25 fps was used in some European countries. Shooting at a slower frame rate would create fast motion when projected, while shooting at a frame rate higher than 24 fps would create slow motion when projected. Other examples of historical experiments in frame rates that were not widely accepted were Maxivision 48 and Showscan, developed by 2001: A Space Odyssey special effects creator Douglas Trumbull.
Home movie film rates were 16 fps for Standard 8 mm and 18 fps for Super 8.
Digital video and television[edit]
There are three main frame rate standards in the TV and digital cinema business: 24p, 25p, and 30p. However, there are many variations on these as well as newer emerging standards.
- 24p is a progressive format and is now widely adopted by those planning on transferring a video signal to film. Film and video makers use 24p even if they are not going to transfer their productions to film, simply because of the on-screen "look" of the (low) frame rate, which matches native film. When transferred to NTSC television, the rate is effectively slowed to 23.976 FPS (24×1000÷1001 to be exact), and when transferred to PAL or SECAM it is sped up to 25 FPS. 35 mm movie cameras use a standard exposure rate of 24 FPS, though many cameras offer rates of 23.976 FPS for NTSC television and 25 FPS for PAL/SECAM. The 24 FPS rate became the de facto standard for sound motion pictures in the mid-1920s.[7] Practically all hand-drawn animation is designed to be played at 24 FPS. Actually hand-drawing 24 unique frames per second ("1's") is costly. Even in big budget films, usually hand-draw animation is done shooting on "2's" (one hand-drawn frame is shown twice, so only 12 unique frames per second)[10] and some animation is even drawn on "4's" (one hand-drawn frame is shown four times, so only six unique frames per second).
- 25p is a progressive format and runs 25 progressive frames per second. This frame rate derives from the PAL television standard of 50i (or 50 interlaced fields per second). Film and television companies use this rate in 50 Hz regions for direct compatibility with television field and frame rates. Conversion for 60 Hz countries is enabled by slowing down the media to 24p then converting to 60 Hz systems using pulldown. While 25p captures half the temporal resolution or motion that normal 50i PAL registers, it yields a higher vertical spatial resolution per frame. Like 24p, 25p is often used to achieve "cine"-look, albeit with virtually the same motion artifacts. It is also better suited to progressive-scan output (e.g., on LCD displays, computer monitors and projectors) because the interlacing is absent.
- 30p is a progressive format and produces video at 30 frames per second. Progressive (noninterlaced) scanning mimics a film camera's frame-by-frame image capture. The effects of inter-frame judder are less noticeable than 24p yet retains a cinematic-like appearance. Shooting video in 30p mode gives no interlace artifacts but can introduce judder on image movement and on some camera pans. The widescreen film process Todd-AO used this frame rate in 1954–1956.[11]
- 48p is a progressive format and is currently being trialled in the film industry. At twice the traditional rate of 24p, this frame rate attempts to reduce motion blur and flicker found in films. Director James Cameron stated his intention to film the two sequels to his film Avatar higher than 24 frames per second to add a heightened sense of reality.[12] The first film to be filmed at 48 FPS was The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, a decision made by its director Peter Jackson.[13] At a preview screening at CinemaCon, the audience's reaction was mixed after being shown some of the film's footage at 48p, with some arguing that the feel of the footage was too lifelike (thus breaking the suspension of disbelief).[14]
- 50i is an interlaced format and is the standard video field rate per second for PAL and SECAM television.
- 60i is an interlaced format and is the standard video field rate per second for NTSC television (e.g., in the US), whether from a broadcast signal, DVD, or home camcorder. This interlaced field rate was developed separately by Farnsworth and Zworykin in 1934,[15] and was part of the NTSC television standards mandated by the FCC in 1941. When NTSC color was introduced in 1953, the older rate of 60 fields per second was reduced by a factor of 1000/1001 to avoid interference between the chroma subcarrier and the broadcast sound carrier. (Hence the usual designation "29.97 fps" = 30 frames (60 fields)/1.001)
- 50p/60p is a progressive format and is used in high-end HDTV systems. While it is not technically part of the ATSC or DVB broadcast standards yet, reports suggest that higher progressive frame rates will be a feature of the next-generation high-definition television broadcast standards.[16] In Europe, the EBU considers 1080p50 the next step future proof system for TV broadcasts and is encouraging broadcasters to upgrade their equipment for the future.[17]
- 72p is a progressive format and is currently in experimental stages. Major institutions such as Snell have demonstrated 720p72 pictures as a result of earlier analogue experiments, where 768 line television at 75 FPS looked subjectively better than 1150 line 50 FPS progressive pictures with higher shutter speeds available (and a corresponding lower data rate).[18] Modern cameras such as the Red One can use this frame rate to produce slow motion replays at 24 FPS. Douglas Trumbull, who undertook experiments with different frame rates that led to the Showscan film format, found that emotional impact peaked at 72 FPS for viewers.[citation needed] 72 FPS is the maximum rate available in the WMV video file format.
- 120p (120.00 Hz exactly) is a progressive format and is standardized for UHDTV by the ITU-R BT.2020 recommendation. It will be the single global "double-precision" frame rate for UHDTV (instead of using 100 Hz for PAL-based countries and 119.88 Hz for NTSC-based countries).
- 300 FPS, interpolated 300 FPS along with other high frame rates, have been tested by BBC Research for use in sports broadcasts.[19] 300 FPS can be converted to both 50 and 60 FPS transmission formats without major issues.
Video games[edit]
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (September 2008)
Frame rates in video games refer to the speed at which the image is refreshed (typically in frames per second, or FPS). Many underlying processes, such as collision detection and network processing, run at different or inconsistent frequencies or in different physical components of a computer. FPS affects the gaming experience in two ways: low FPS does not effectively give the illusion of motion and affects the user's capacity to interact with the game, while FPS that varies substantially from one second to the next depending on computational load produces uneven, "choppy" movement or animation.
The first 3D first-person game for a personal computer, 3D Monster Maze, had a frame rate of approximately 6 FPS, and was still a success. In modern action-oriented games where players must visually track animated objects and react quickly, frame rates of between 30 and 60 FPS are considered acceptable by most, though this can vary significantly from game to game. Modern action games, including popular console games such as Halo 3, are locked at 30 FPS maximum, while others, such as Unreal Tournament 3, can run well in excess of 100 FPS on sufficient hardware. Additionally some games such as Quake 3 Arena perform physics, AI, networking, and other calculations in sync with the rendered frame rate - this can result in inconsistencies with movement and network prediction code if players are unable to maintain the designed maximum frame rate of 125 FPS. The frame rate within games varies considerably depending upon the complexity of the individual frame to render, or with the hardware configuration (especially in PC games). When the computation of a frame consumes more time than intended, the frame rate decreases. This instability causes stuttering and screen tearing.
Frame rate in video games is a delicate trade off between picture fidelity and render time (which translates into FPS). Unlike movies, video games depend on the interaction between consumer and game. Lower frame rates affect this feedback loop with choppy motion and additional input delay. However a trend to low frame rate high fidelity titles was perceivable in the last years. This is mostly because of the mismatch between console platforms steady stated computational power and the demand of higher fidelity graphics. For many game studios the shift to 30FPS is a notable gain considering that lower frame rates are less apparent for the untrained eye than reduced picture quality[citation needed].
A culture of competition has arisen among game enthusiasts with regard to frame rates, with players striving to obtain the highest FPS possible, due to their utility in demonstrating a system's power and efficiency. Indeed, many benchmarks (such as 3DMark) released by the marketing departments of hardware manufacturers and published in hardware reviews focus on the FPS measurement. LCD monitors of today are built with three major refresh rate in mind. The most common is 60 Hz, which can be used at any resolution without requiring high quality computer systems to render, and then 120 Hz and 144 Hz. The 120 Hz standard also supports what is known as 'lightboost' technology in some monitors, where strobing lights behind the monitor reduce ghosting at high FPS.
Beyond measurement and bragging rights, such exercises do have practical bearing in some cases. A certain amount of discarded "headroom" frames are beneficial for the elimination of uneven ("choppy" or "jumpy") output, and to prevent FPS from plummeting during the intense sequences when players need smooth feedback most.
Without realistic motion blurring, video games and computer animations do not look as fluid as film. When a fast moving object is present on two consecutive frames, a gap between the images on the two frames contributes to a noticeable separation of the object and its afterimage in the eye. Motion blurring mitigates this effect, since it tends to reduce the image gap when the two frames are strung together. The effect of motion blurring is essentially superimposing multiple images of the fast-moving object on a single frame. Motion blurring makes the motion more fluid for some people, even as the image of the object becomes blurry on each individual frame. Motion blur can also induce headaches when people play a game that requires concentration.[20]
A high frame rate still does not guarantee fluid movements, especially on hardware with more than one GPU. This effect is known as micro stuttering.

Friday Fashion Favs: When Sweat Meets Glam
Written on November 9, 2012 at 4:13 pm , by Marla Horenbein
There's nothing we love more here in the fashion department than mixing sweat and glam. Let's be real ladies, you can burn some major calories and still look good while doing it! So when we caught wind earlier this week that one of our favorite SoulCycle chicks and October Express Workout model, Charlee Atkins, was the model in a collaboration video for SoulCycle and one of our fav jewelry brands, DANNIJO, you know we were all over it. I mean really, nothing says sexy, more than war paint, stacks of jewels, and lots of sweaty skin.
Check out the H-O-T video below. If that doesn't inspire you to want to get out there and kick some butt, we don't know what else will!

Will Goldman's CEO survive Greg Smith's rant?
Lloyd Blankfein is in the crosshairs after a former employee accuses the company of ripping off its clients.
Smith assailed Goldman for its "toxic and destructive" business practices and "morally bankrupt" culture, and placed the blame squarely on CEO Lloyd Blankfein. The controversial Goldman boss has already been blasted by lawmakers for his company's dubious deals, and has forked over millions of dollars to settle fraud charges brought by the SEC.
Post continues below.
Smith's rant wasn't just a public relations debacle: Goldman's stock price dropped 3.4% the day the op-ed was published, wiping out $2.2 billion in shareholder value.
Will Blankfein be forced to resign?
Goldman must oust Blankfein: Smith's resignation letter "would be a devastating indictment of any kind of business," says Frederick E. Allen at Forbes, but it's particularly bad for a bank supposedly built on trust. Goldman's clients (whom the firm's employees apparently call "muppets") now know they're being ripped off at every turn. "Isn't a flight to the doors inevitable," Allen asked. Goldman has brought this "terrible damage" on itself, and "must take drastic action to restore its reputation." The company's reform "must start at the top."
But Blankfein is still quite popular: Blankfein has the best approval rating of any CEO on Wall Street, says Jane Wells at CNBC. According to Glassdoor.com, 94% of Goldman employees approve of his leadership, and Goldman itself outranks JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Citigroup (C) for employee satisfaction. Clearly, not everyone is as disgruntled as Greg Smith.
Goldman will have to change: The easiest way to change perceptions of Goldman is to change its leadership, says John Cassidy at The New Yorker. But "given the iron grip that Blankfein exercises on Goldman, I don't think this is going to happen, at least not for awhile." However, even Blankfein "must realize that the take-no-prisoners business model he had championed" is "backfiring." Goldman is up to its ears in conflicts of interest, and has been the most aggressive and shameless profit-hunter on Wall Street -- and now he and the firm are paying the price.
More from The Week:
LoL, he gave new meaning to the truth will set you free.
I notice that Goldman's is not suing which means the rant was probably true. If I had that kind of money, I would no longer deal with these folks for anything.
Goldman's lost me a long time ago anyway. I consider them in the same lane as the defunct Enron.

The most revolting thing I've ever tasted. No raspberry flavour, just overpowering bergamot and petrol. I admit, I only gave it a one cup shot, and didn't finish the cup, but it was so horrid, I tossed the rest out. Thankfully, I bought this when it was on clearance!

Written by Lydia Larkin
I have used Coriandre since it made its debut in 1973! I have never used anything else. People stop me every where I go and ask me what that fantastic perfume is... Some have never heard of it. I always take the time to write down the name & where they can purchase it. I have used the powder, lotion, and shower gel. Sometimes I use the powder mid week to freshen up my sheets! Thank You for such a wonderful scent!
August 25, 2013
I use the Coriandre lotion to layer the parfum and it works wonderfully. This has an "off" smell at first, but settles into a mild scent. If you wear before bedtime, the scent will linger on your sheets and also lightly refresh the room. I can't live without this scent... nothing else compares or comes close to this wonderful fragrance.
April 05, 2013
The parfum extract is the best of the best of what is left of the pure scent of Coriandre. I layer the parfum spray, lotion and use the extract for evening touch up and the scent is absolutely irresistible! In a modern world of sickly-sweet, overly-floral scents, this is such a refreshing flashback. It will forever remind me of my mother and aunt who wore this in the 70s and passed it on to me. While I use two other scents and am into essential oils, this is my top choice for everyday wonder smell wear. Thanks FragranceNet for the awesome find at a reasonable price.
April 05, 2013
Coriandre is a favorite of my mother and aunt from the early 70's to date. I love to wear it in remembrance of my time with them as a child and pre-teen. When I wear Coriandre around them today, they immediately want to know what I am wearing and I try to have a bottle on hand to give to them right away. The remembrance smiles are priceless! The fragrance is like none other. Truly unique and wonderful. Compliments happen everyday especially after the dry-down. It settles into a clean, fresh smell, yet still has that something special that sets the scent apart from any other scent out there. I layer the parfum with the lotion and it's the perfect balance for me. I believe that most previous users realize it isn't the same formulation as it was when first introduced, it still smells terrific. I used to be able to get the eau de toilette at my local Marshall's for $7.99 - not anymore. Thanks to FragranceNet, I now splurge and purchase the eau de parfum and am much happier with the end of day result. Coriandre is one of my top 3 perfumes I hope I never have to live without.
April 05, 2013
Written by Light but memorable
Coriandre is a subtle but sophisticated fragrance--somewhere between light floral and subtle oils/naturals blended for always nice comments--usually from men. It's a French perfume that's had some changes but the price --esp. for testers--is really terrific.

I've been in England for nearly a week now, and I think I can safely say that I'm in love.
I'm in love with a country-one that is quirky, humorous, beautiful, and exciting.
Take, for example, a billboard seen from the top seat of a double-decker bus headed into Reading. It was an advert for coffee, featuring the "What Not To Wear" ladies. It advised women to "lift their cups"-get it?
And in the section of Reading in which we live, Earley, there is a house named Earley Rise. Any place that loves puns and plays on words this much is surely the country for me.
Of course, not all humour exists on adverts and road signs.
Talking to people at the University and around town has yielded quite a few laughs as we continue to breach the language barrier-fries are now chips, chips are now crisps, cookies become biscuits, and biscuits are muffins. All of these charming little cultural differences can make even the mundane task of grocery shopping a great adventure.
Consider the cereal we've become addicted to: Crunchy Nut (complete with catchy slogan, "Ludicrously Tasty"). It comes in four varieties: Crunchy Nut, Crunchy Nut Red (with "Red Bits"), Crunchy Nut Nutty (with extra "Nut Bits"), Crunchy Nut Cluster (grouped into "Big Bits"). I think there may even be a chocolate species, most likely with choco-bits.
You may be wondering why the word "bits" appears so much in this article.
Everything in England either has bits or it doesn't. Orange juice comes in a "Juicy Bits" and a "No Bits" variety, where bits can be taken to mean pulp. In cereal, bits could be nuts, fruit, or marshmallows. In desserts, bits could be just about anything. Just as long as you haven't got bits in your tea, you should be all right.
Another quirk of Britain is its gender-specific tissues. That's right, tissues for men. They come in large, "Man-Sized" boxes in masculine colours like black and red-no pastels on these Kleenex! Apparently, as the Drs. Ivy so kindly explained to us in the tea room of the Victoria and Albert Museum, the idea is that men, being bigger, stronger and more masculine, would naturally have more to blow, and more need of a bigger, beefier tissue. Well, of course.
You can see now why I'm so in love with Britain. It's such a wonderfully quirky place that I have to cover my mouth sometimes to hide my perpetual grin (people on the bus would think I'm a nutter, I'm sure). I find it difficult not to giggle at the puns hidden in road signs, newspapers, and adverts.
I adore the British fascination with tea, and their mistaken belief that it contains more caffeine than coffee (bless their little English hearts). Most of all though, I love walking down the left side of the street, and passing a pitch where there is always a game of football going on.
I love counting out one pound twenty for the bus, and hearing "cheers" when I drop the fare in the till.
I love seeing the little houses with lead-paned windows and doorknobs in the middle of the doors.
I love the way everyone wears scarves in September and I even love it when it rains.
I love all of these things because they are all a part of England, great and small.
Britain: it's ludicrously tasty.

The Immune Cell Development and Host Defense program focuses on the biology of immune cells - from how they develop to how they function, principally in the context of viral infections. Members of this program seek to identify molecules required for the development of normal immune cells and determine how their misregulation leads to transformation of blood cells. Moreover, the investigators employ models of viral infection to gain insights into how immune cells function in fighting infection in order to better understand how immune effectors can be exploited to combat cancers.
The goals of the Immune Cell Development and Host Defense program are to:
Through close connections with clinicians, the Inflammation Working Group, and the Keystone Program in Blood Cell Development and Cancer, members of the Immune Cell Development and Host Defense program actively seek opportunities to apply their findings in the improvement of cancer medicine.

Available Projects
We are about to buy a house where the previous owner painted over the wallpaper in the family room and hallway. It's look like it has a few layers on it because in certain areas I can see different colors. I've heard and read on these boards that removing painted wallpaper is a nightmare. Would I be able to spray orange peel texture over the painted wallpaper to hide imperfection and paper seems and then paint over that. Any other ideas or advice? I appreciate the help! Thanks
all you would be doing is to add to the problem. Sooner or later the added weight will be too much for the papers glue to hold and you will have places where the paper is hanging and other places where it is stuck.
Try freeing a corner and apply wallpaper glue solvent as you go. You might get lucky and whomever applied the paper primed the wall first, making the removal easier.
Or you can put up new drywall over the old and start over
Agreed nona. You can use a printable wallpaper in case you want to have the same color wall. The thicker the wallpaper, the better it will hide the ugly wall.
I'd try peeling it before hiding the issue with thin wallboard. you will have to skim coat the existing wall with drywall compound and sand before painting, really good likelihood you will pull off some face paper.
before I overlaid thin wallboard, I'd strip to the studs and put up good solid mold-resistant green or purple board. checking for "awshucks" underneath would be on the plan. the trim and stuff will never show right if you keep overlaying that pig.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
I've taken off painted over wallpaper and it was not much use than usual wallpaper removal. Then again wallpaper itself can be easy to remove or a nightmare. So I would try it first before you consider anything else.
I'm definitely going to try to remove the paper. Do you guys like using a steamer or wallpaper removal spray. I have 1 week to do this before floors are being installed, so I really need this to go smooth. Hopefully once the paper is down I'm going to orange peel and paint. Any tips on wall prep before I texture? I really appreciate the help!
Don't know about others experience, but we once rented a wall paper steamer. I guess I was not so impressed? Since then, whenever we needed to remove the vinyl papers (water resistant, just like a painted paper), I found a garden tank sprayer (or several large refillable spray bottles) with Hot water (and DIF or some liquid fabric softener mixture) has worked just as well. You may find it necessary to use a "paper tiger" or after wetting the paper begin to pull it away in layers to get the under layers wet enough to release.

I use Shure SM-58 mics (wireless). The holder holds the mics great. You must be careful that the mic stand arm is the right diameter. On some of my stands the holder is loose (fixed with a small piece of paper towel) and on some stands it's too small. But, on a standard mic stand it fits just fine.

Comments about Hercules Stands QUIK-N-EZ Microphone Holder:
I found on some of my stands the thread diameter is too small. But, on most of my stands it fit well. (This adapter doesn't 'screw' on. It 'slides' on, and then clamps down. If the diameter of the stand is too big, you can't 'slide' it on. My advice is just make 'sure' (pun intended) you have the right stand.
Comments about Hercules Stands QUIK-N-EZ Microphone Holder:
Love the ease of operation, the style and the rugged flexibilty. Great for any medium to large size microphone. Not recommended for heavy overhead condenser microphones
These are ruggedly flexible design and built to last. Real easy to setup and tear down. Saves time and energy placing microphones on the stands. I wouldn't recommend these clips for heavy condenser microphones as they may slip. But for steady stable use such as vocals or instruments, these are fantastic. The other drawback is that they are cumbersome for those of you with limited space in your mic bags.

Newly appointed South Texas College Board of Trustee for District 3 Paul R. Rodriguez was sworn-in on Aug. 29 during an Oath of Office Ceremony held at the college's Pecan Campus Library Rainbow Room in McAllen.
Rodriguez was sworn-in by U.S. District Judge Ricardo Hinojosa for the Southern District of Texas.
"I fully understand that there are expectations and standards that I'm expected to fulfill and I have no intention of disappointing the board," said Rodriguez after taking the Oath of Office. "While my overriding responsibility is to South Texas College as a whole, I fully understand the duty I have in representing Southeast Mission, Sharyland, Granjeno, Hidalgo, South McAllen, and Southwest Pharr. I've spent the past 30 years working and or living within this district, and I look forward to promoting the needs and interests of this diverse district."
Rodriguez was appointed on July 24 to the District 3 seat previously occupied by Mike Allen, who passed away in August 2010. District 3 represents the constituents of South McAllen, Southwest Pharr, Hidalgo, Sharyland, Southeast Mission, and Granjeno.
"We went through a long process and we were fortunate to have an exceptional pool to choose from," said STC Board of Trustees Chair Rose Benavidez. "When it was all said and done, the board unanimously agreed that the attributes of Paul Rodriguez, along with his wealth of knowledge made him the most appropriate candidate to fill the District 3 vacancy."
Rodriguez will serve out the remainder of Allen's term on the board as the District 3 representative that expires in May 2016.

Virtuozzo's Density and Performance Meet COMBELL's Strict Quality Standards
BRUSSELS, Belgium and HERNDON, Va., January 10, 2008 - COMBELL GROUP announced a new line of virtual server hosting service plans powered by SWsoft Virtuozzo software.
Virtuozzo partitions a physical server into multiple, isolated containers to provide customers with an economical alternative to dedicated servers. COMBELL's new offering gives customers control over their own virtual environment through root access and empowers them to perform application installation, backup and reboot processes.
"With SWsoft Virtuozzo, our new virtual server offering delivers exceptional performance and results, and allows our customers the flexibility to work how they want to work," said Frederik Poelman, technical director, COMBELL. "Virtuozzo's server density ratio, performance response rates, and streamlined administrative management tools allow us to easily manage large numbers of virtual environments without affecting the customer experience."
COMBELL's services are built on a deep commitment to quality and innovation. As the only Belgian hosting company to achieve ISO 9001:2000 certification and an early adopter of the software-as-a-service (SaaS) business model, COMBELL keeps the customer at the center of its decision-making. Security, customer issue rates and ease of use were key criteria for selecting Virtuozzo to fuel its virtual server offerings.
"We are pleased that COMBELL GROUP has chosen Virtuozzo to power its new virtual sever offering," said Nils Hueneke, Hosting Europe, SWsoft. "COMBELL and its customers will benefit from our ongoing Open Fusion technology initiative to advance an open platform for hosting, as well as a commitment to quality and innovation that matches their own."
SWsoft Virtuozzo is the leading virtualization platform for service providers. The container-based virtualization software dynamically partitions a single Linux or Windows operating system instance into highly efficient and scalable virtual containers. Virtuozzo includes patented technology that enables density of up to hundreds of virtual containers per physical server. Each virtual container has the same performance and functionality as a stand-alone server and can be managed with Plesk, third-party control panels or in-house systems.
Open Fusion is an SWsoft technology initiative to improve integration among a wide range of systems, third-party applications and modules, and custom and in-house solutions. The Open Fusion platform enables optimized delivery of SaaS and traditional hosting services. The Application Packaging Standard (APS) is a key element in this initiative and provides a format for software applications running on hosting platforms.

Kevin Durant scored 33 points to help Oklahoma City avoid back-to-back losses as the Thunder defeated the Portland Trailblazers 111-107 Monday night on the road.
With the Thunder trailing by six, Durant knocked down a baseline three-pointer with just over two minutes to play, then with time winding down, he drove to the basket and was awarded a controversial goaltending call with six seconds left to force overtime.
In the extra period, Russell Westbrook put the Thunder on top for good on a jumper with 3:49 to play.
The Blazers had a chance to tie late, but Jamal Crawford's jumper with 10 seconds left was blocked by Kendrick Perkins and seconds later, Durant slammed home the dagger.
Joining Durant in double figures were Westbrook, who had 28 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, James Harden with 19 points and Serge Ibaka, who scored 12 points, grabbed a team-best 13 rebounds and blocked four shots.
LaMarcus Aldridge led Portland (14-11) with 39 points.
The Thunder won despite blowing a 12-point lead late in the third period. They are now 19-and-5 -- the best record in the NBA -- and own a three-game lead over every team in the Western Conference.
Oklahoma City remains on the road for Tuesday night's game at Golden State.

Winter Wedding Decor Trends
This season, it's all about bringing the outside in with lots of natural elements for a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. Long tables topped with branchy centrepieces, like tall manzanita trees with hanging candles, or uplit in white or blue will help create that vibe. Instead of decorating all the tables with the same centrepiece, the trend is to mix it up with smaller, lush floral arrangements, set in birch-wrapped vases or even brushed-brass or copper containers.

Summer school with transportation and logistics students takes on a whole new meaning when you can climb aboard an active railroad locomotive, jump inside a brand new never been driven before semi-truck and learn about Great Lakes shipping.
Michigan Tech and UW-Superior are again co-hosting the Youth Rail and Intermodal summer program. 17 high school students from around the country are getting the chance of a lifetime to learn first-hand about railroads, trucking and logistics.
UW-Superior professor Dr. Richard Stewart gave a short classroom presentation to the group on how it all ties together to move product from one location to another. Stewart is also the director of the Transportation and Logistics Research Center at UW-Superior and Co-Director of the Great Lakes Maritime Research Institute.
The group will have another fun day of learning on Thursday when they take a closer look at Great Lakes shipping and rail as they tour the CN Ore Docks. Following that they will tour the Duluth Railroad Museum and will take a train ride up Lester River..
The students have been learning about transportation and logistics operations with educational stops in Houghton, MI, Marquette, MI, Superior, WI and Duluth, MN. Now in its 4th year, the program allows students to learn all aspects of the transportation industry. . The hands on learning experience is the key.
Tommy Edwards is the Terminal Trainmaster at the Superior Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail yard and has been involved in the field for about a decade. He said, "I Like to see kids interested in the transportation and logistics industry and show them how unique this industry really is. We focus on safety and show them how important that it is in what we do here at BNSF."
The students were able to climb aboard a locomotive engine that was about to depart from Superior to Minneapolis and was carrying a load of 11,000 tons. The train had 8 locomotive engines but only three were active and they were moving 136 cars on their journey.
Ryan Kapperud is the Division Trainmaster at the Superior BNSF location and gave the kids great insight into the railroad industry and the jobs that are available. It was a two member crew on the train with a student intern aboard and the train stretched a mile and half long and would reach a top speed of about 40 mph according to Kapperud.
Kapperud was happy to give back to the students, "I appreciate the opportunity to speak to young adults about the railroad and the opportunities that railroads provide. I believe that this is our best opportunity to talk to young and old alike about safety around railroad equipment. We learn from a very young age how fun it is to run a train and how important and big they can be, but not everyone understands just how careful you need to be around them. Sometimes all of that built up energy, weight, and hardness of rail equipment can be very unforgiving when things go wrong. Train equipment is fun to watch, but usually from a safe distance. This was a great opportunity to teach railroad enthusiasts to develop and explore their interests in a safe and smart way."
UW-Superior student, Derek Krivinchuck was a camp staff member and was impressed with what the group was able to learn. "This camp is a unique experience to bring kids from all over the country together to learn about intermodal transportation. They have the opportunity to see up close how various modes of transportation both work together and compete against one another to gain a competitive advantage. They get incredible behind the scenes access which isn't available to the general public, and have the opportunity to meet students and professionals from within the respective industries."
Krivinchuck is a senior, majoring in transportation and logistics at UW-Superior from Poplar, Wis. and was able to present some of his transportation research at the Posters in the Rotunda program at the state capitol in Madison last April.
Another highlight for the group was at Halvor Trucking headquarters in Superior, WI. There they were able to meet with the management staff, some of which have graduated through the UW-Superior transportation and logistics program, and were able to tour the facilities and drive an actual truck simulator that the drivers use for training.
Halvor has three separate lines they operate in Superior and are now in their 45th year of operation. Jon Vinje is the CEO of the company and also met with the group. Halvor staff again talked about safety and how important that it is in their industry as well. They operate over 300 units and 850 trailers and have 400 employees.
Al Dirksen, director of logistics for Halvor Lines, said they have a great relationship with UW-Superior and their Transportation and Logistics Research Center; they currently have 6 UW-Superior graduates on their staff along with two interns. He was proud of the cooperative relationship, "We have a great partnership and business relationship with UW-Superior, we are glad to do business with them." Halvor is currently storing some UW-Superior items at their warehouse while the school is undergoing some residence hall remodeling.
This camp provided not only eye opening opportunities in the transportation field but perhaps the incentive to make it a lifelong career thanks to those who do it every day, love it and teach it.

Marmoset - on 05 Feb 2013
Can anyone help me? I've been climbing 3 years and have only gone from VDiff to S4a/b outdoors and Font 4 to 6a+ indoors. Admittedly I do have issues with route reading and mind control issues making me inconsistent. My boyfriend will no longer climb with me because he says I will never improve & he is improving all the time . I love climbing and really want to conquer the issues and achieve my goal of Vs4C this year. Is there anything that can be done to help me improve or should I just quit now.

Bruno Mars is one of the hottest stars on the planet right now, so it's surprising that he's only now getting his first Rolling Stone cover. The singer graces the cover of the issue that hits newsstands this Friday, and inside, he reveals the woman who was the real-life inspiration behind his #1 hit "When I Was Your Man."
According to the magazine, Bruno "very reluctantly" admits that his girlfriend, Jessica Caban , inspired the ballad -- he wrote it when he was worried that he would lose her. But the story has a happy ending: they stayed together, and now, Bruno says he has a hard time performing the song in concert. "You're bringing up all these old emotions again," he says of playing the song live. "It's just like bleeding!"
Bruno, who the magazine calls "Pop's Golden Child" on the cover, also talks about the struggles he and his family went through in his early life, and the many years he spent paying his dues behind the scenes before becoming a Grammy-winning sensation. "I wouldn't trade it for anything," he says of his past. "Because I feel like I can enjoy this so much."

The PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG crew returned to the podium, finishing second in the Sanya Haitang Bay In-Port Race in Sanya, China. PUMA's Mar Mostro crossed the line with a time of at 0:59.18, .41 seconds behind Team Telefónica on Saturday, Feb. 18, during the third stopover of the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12.
"We're very pleased with our finish today," said skipper Ken Read. "The boat felt good, the guys did a great job, and Kelvin had two good shifts in the first beat that really determined the race. A fleet like this has no slouches, so we'll take our second and build on it.
"We didn't have a great start, and I think that kind of sealed our fate a bit with Telefónica," Read continued. "The two of us had a nice little battle today – it felt like a really good boat race. They gave us very little chance to get by, as you would expect from them, so I give them credit."
PUMA's Mar Mostro made their gains on the right side of the first beat of the in-port loop and rounded the first mark .28 behind Telefónica. They closed the gap to .3 seconds at the second mark as the two began separating from the rest of the fleet. The two boats continued to battle around the course, but Telefónica held on to the narrow lead through the finish line.
PUMA added five points for second place and remains in fourth place in the overall standings with 53 total points. Telefónica holds onto the top spot on the leaderboard with 101 points.
For Leg 4 from Sanya to Auckland, New Zealand, Volvo Ocean Race organizers have announced a split of the leg into two stages due to a tropical cyclone with up to 11-meter waves in the South China Sea. The first stage gets underway on Sunday, Feb. 19, at 14:00 local/06:00 UTC with the "Buddha course" – an approximate 40 nautical mile round trip to the Buddha statue at the Sanya Nanshan Temple and back to the Sanya start line, including the scheduled in-port triangle off the start. The fleet will then wait until conditions are deemed safe enough to sail again. The delay is not expected to extend beyond 24 hours. The fleet will re-start on Monday with a staggered departure on the second stage of Leg 4 in the order they finished Stage 1 of the leg. The entire Leg 4 journey will take the fleet approximately 5,220 nautical miles into Auckland.
"They're estimating between 6-11 meter waves in the South China Sea – that's serious boat breaking weather," Read said on the Leg 4 change. "With these boats, it's the waves that can really cause problems. We all know from sailing around this part of the world in the last race that the sea state is relentless and nearly sank three boats in the fleet. Volvo has erred on the side of caution to make sure the fleet stays safe and intact.
"When the boats are in conditions like that, it's a bit of Russian roulette," Read continued. "You can have all of the seamanship in the world, but you fall off one wave wrong and you can do some serious damage to people or boats. The last thing we want is for someone to get seriously hurt or the fleet to shrink.
"Also, when we're out in the open ocean and a major weather system is coming our way, we can normally sail around the edge of it. This route to New Zealand goes straight through the South China Sea around the northern tip of the Philippines, and there's no going around this weather system, no avoiding it. I know it was a tough call for Volvo, but I think they did the right thing."
