The case against globaloney
This is a hugely important topic since we are repeatedly using the word "globalization" to describe how the world is changing. Even if I haven't read it I think the book "World 3.0" is a must for everyone talking about the globalization in the future.
Mr Ghemawat points out that many indicators of global integration are surprisingly low. Only 2% of students are at universities outside their home countries; and only 3% of people live outside their country of birth. Only 7% of rice is traded across borders. Only 7% of directors of S&P 500 companies are foreigners—and, according to a study a few years ago, less than 1% of all American companies have any foreign operations. Exports are equivalent to only 20% of global GDP. Some of the most vital arteries of globalisation are badly clogged: air travel is restricted by bilateral treaties and ocean shipping is dominated by cartels.

It is interesting that the inequality discussion is finally exploding. Articles like the recently in Vanity Fair called Of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%
is just one that have boot strapped the discussion.
What about the future? It would be interesting to run a scenario project focusing on the future of inequality to get a deeper understanding of where the national and global inequality is heading. Is revolution really the only outcome of dramatically increased inequality or are there other paths we could wander?

In June, the inaugural class of physician assistant students recited the Physician Assistant Oath, highlighting their responsibitlity for professionalism, teamwork and providing the best patient care possible.
Omnibalm, a cream for general and diabetic foot care, was developed by Bill Gurley, Ph.D., a College of Pharmacy pharmaceutical sciences professor at UAMS.
The Schmieding Home Caregiver Training Program celebrates the formal opening of its site in El Dorado. The opening concluded the program's expansion in 2013 to four more regions of the state.
Dec. 27, 2013 | New degree programs and innovations in patient care marked 2013 as a year of dynamic action for UAMS.
UAMS in January opened its Oral Health Clinic with 18 treatment rooms and with plans eventually to open the only dental residency program in the state. Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation contributed $2 million to the university toward the opening of the Oral Health Clinic on the Little Rock campus.
"The strong support by the Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation has been critical to our ability to open this clinic and plan for the kind of facility we need to provide comprehensive care for our patients and host the dental residency program, which will have a wide-reaching effect on improving dental care in Arkansas," said UAMS Chancellor Dan Rahn, M.D. "The clinic and residency program will improve access to dental health in our state."
In March, the university received approval to begin offering the state's first bachelor's degree in emergency medical services through the Department of Emergency Medical Sciences in the UAMS College of Health Professions. At its northwest Arkansas campus, UAMS will start educating physical therapy students with the goal of creating a doctoral program in the college by 2015.
The College of Health Professions' new physician assistant program in April won accreditation from the Accreditation Review Commission of Education for the Physician Assistant. The first group of 26 physician assistant students began classes in May.
The UAMS Psychiatric Research Institute started two new initiatives for patient care: a new treatment program to reduce the mental and physical symptoms related to post-traumatic stress disorder and a 10-bed inpatient unit devoted solely to women with serious mental health needs such as trauma, depression and anxiety.
To lead the university's effort to develop and strengthen patient- and family-centered care, UAMS hired national expert as associate vice chancellor for patient- and family-centered care.
"I have never met anyone more passionate about patient- and family-centered care than Julie," Rahn said in March. "Her real-life experience gives her a unique and powerful perspective on this issue. We are honored to have her take the lead in this crucial endeavor at UAMS. Our goal is nothing short of transforming the way we include patients and families as full partners in their care."
Other accomplishments in 2013 include:
Patient Care
· The UAMS Palliative Care Program received national certification, becoming the first in Arkansas and only one of 36 nationally to be accredited under a new evaluation process.
· To promote the best patient care closest to home, UAMS established a center that will look for partnerships and collaborations in underserved areas to assist with routine care and provide access to specialty care. The Center for Healthcare Enhancement and Development will explore ways for the university to support and work with hospitals and clinics throughout the state to provide better care for Arkansans.
· The Fort Smith Family Medical Center at UAMS West earned national recognition as a Level III patient-centered medical home while the UAMS Family Medical Center on the Little Rock campus earned renewal of its Level III status.
· In the operating room, UAMS neurosurgeon John D. Day, M.D., became the first neurosurgeon in Arkansas to use a new and minimally invasive, breakthrough brain tumor removal procedure using a tube-like tool and sophisticated three-dimensional imagery in two successful surgeries.
· UAMS in the fall opened an allergy and immunology clinic specializing in treating adults with asthma, seasonal allergies, food allergies, chronic hives, drug allergies, stinging insect allergies and immune system deficiencies. Matthew Bell, M.D., and Joshua Kennedy, M.D., assistant professors in the Division of Allergy and Immunology in the College of Medicine, are leading the clinic.
· The Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging opened the Schmieding Home Caregiver Training Program in El Dorado, providing new opportunities for the elderly to stay in their homes as they age. The program offers four levels of certification for paid caregivers and two workshops for those who provide care for family members. In 2013, the program also opened in Fort Smith, Little Rock and Hot Springs, which brings the number of training sites to nine across the state. Each UAMS Center on Aging where a program is based contains a classroom and learning laboratory that simulates a home environment. A $3.02 million grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation funded the 2013 expansion.
· G. Richard Smith, M.D., on May 1 became dean of the UAMS College of Medicine and vice chancellor. A professor and holder of the Marie Wilson Howells Chair, Smith most recently served as director of the Psychiatric Research Institute and chair of the UAMS Department of Psychiatry in the College of Medicine. He succeeded Debra Fiser, M.D.
· The UAMS College of Medicine's Continuing Medical Education Office, received a six-year Accreditation with Commendation, the highest level awarded by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Education. The CME Office coordinates state-of-the-art, evidence-based continuing medical education for faculty physicians at UAMS and physicians practicing throughout the state.
· In October, the College of Medicine was recognized in a nationwide study as being among the top five medical schools in meeting national clinical conflict-of-interest standards. The Institute on Medicine as a Profession surveyed policies at 127 medical schools and published the results in the October issue of Academic Medicine.
· The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) awarded UAMS two contracts worth about $8.7 million to proceed with advanced development of a promising treatment for use in radiological or nuclear emergency situations. Including the base BARDA contract for $4.5 million entered into in 2011, the total value awarded is more than $13 million.
· Omnibalm Daily Foot Therapy, a cream for general and diabetic foot care developed by Bill Gurley, Ph.D., a College of Pharmacy pharmaceutical sciences professor at UAMS, became available in late 2013 in 121 Walmart stores across seven states. The cream is a non-greasy formula that softens and helps repair dry, cracked skin and keeps feet healthy and shoes smelling fresh. It is marketed by Balm Innovations LLC, a UAMS BioVentures startup company licensed to take UAMS inventions from laboratories to the marketplace.
· Two UAMS neurologists — Sami Harik, M.D., and Vasuki Dandu, M.D., — were part of a multi-institutional team that identified a new neurodegenerative disease that is associated with increased deposits of iron in the brain. The newly discovered disease is called BPAN (beta-propeller protein associated neurodegeneration) and was discovered in 20 patients whose symptoms included early-onset developmental delay and other neurological deterioration.
· Valchlor, a breakthrough gel for treating lymphoma developed with the help of UAMS College of Pharmacy Professor Peter Crooks, Ph.D., won marketing approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Valchlor is for the topical treatment of stage 1A and 1B mycosis fungoides-type cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, a rare form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
· Living human lungs donated to UAMS are helping a multi-center team of researchers begin testing potential breakthrough asthma treatments as part of a five-year, $11.9 million study funded by the National Institutes of Health. The large study was made possible in part due to innovations in the processing and preservation of the lungs by UAMS cell biologist Richard Kurten, Ph.D. Kurten has helped open the door to exciting new research opportunities by extending the lifespan of donated lungs.
· A multi-year study led by Appathurai Balamurugan, M.D., M.P.H., of UAMS and the Arkansas Department of Health, found the neighborhood where you live is a risk factor for stroke. The study was the first of its kind to estimate the risk of dying from stroke at the block group level. The study analyzed 8,930 stroke deaths in Arkansas during 2005-2009 at the block group level and found there is a wide variation in risk of death due to stroke, sometimes even a four-fold difference between adjacent neighborhoods. The study showed that neighborhood poverty and low educational attainment play a bigger role than race and ethnicity.

There was a big game in the English Premier League today. First place Arsenal took on third place Liverpool in a battle for the top of the table. With Chelsea losing, Liverpool had the chance to move into first place with a win.
Santi Cazorla gave Arsenal an early lead with a goal in the nineteenth minute. His header bounced off the woodwork and back into play and Cazorla put in the back of the net.
Liverpool looked sluggish as they tried to keep up with the Arsenal attack. Going into the half, Arsenal had 58 percent of the possession and the advantage in tackles and shots on goal.
Early in the second half Arsenal picked up where they left off. They scored in the 59th minute, just 14 minutes into the half. Aaron Ramsey got a pass into the middle just outside the box. He touched it down and waited for it to bounce before kicking it and scoring. It looked like he was going to take a shot but hesitated and then took a shot after it bounced, it is a bit crazy how much time he had to take the shot, Liverpool's defense didn't close down quickly at all.
Late in the game, Luis Suarez was coming in from one corner of the box with the ball. Daniel Sturridge was across the box calling for the pass. Suarez took a shot and missed and Sturridge through his hands up in the air and looked at Suarez.
The Gunners then held on to win and take a commanding lead in the English Premier League having defeated third place Liverpool and with second place Chelsea falling to Newcastle United.
Santi Cazorla's goal:
Aaron Ramsey's goal:

DeVries recently received the grant from the Fulbright Commission, placing him at the University of Maastricht for six weeks.
DeVries will be giving lectures and conducting research to assess the University of Maastricht's Health and Society Program.
He will serve as a visiting consultant to assist in the organization of the program, reviewing grant proposals and observing decision-making processes.
DeVries, a faculty member since 1988, has been on leave from St. Olaf since June of 1999 due to a four year grant from the National Institute of Health.
Stationed at the University of Minnesota's Center for Bioethics, DeVries has used the grant to study the ethics of decision-making, primarily in regard to the use of human beings in research processes.
"Any time theres a power differential involved or when human beings are asked to voluntarily participate in a study, there are certain risks and ethical issues that need to be addressed," DeVries said.
DeVries also received a research grant in 1994 to examine Dutch health care and maternity systems.
"The Dutch have very innovative and progressive policies concerning ethics and the organization of public health care," DeVries said. "Their attitudes about the health system and about trusting science differ greatly from our own, and I think that this country has a lot to learn from them."
The role of midwives in the Netherlands is much more prominent, and according to DeVries' study, contributes significantly to a radically different perception of the necessity of professional health care in the birthing process.
As a result, about one-third of all births in the Netherlands happen at home, with a notably lower percentage of cesarean sections, and a remarkably low infant mortality rate.
In addition to previous academic studies, DeVries also maintains a personal connection to the Netherlands.
"All four of my grandparents are Dutch," DeVries said, "and Im now able to effectively communicate in the language, so for me, being in the Netherlands is sort of an exploration of my roots."
His youngest daughter currently resides in the Netherlands, and his wife will join him later.
The Fulbright Senior Specialist Program was established recently as a branch of the Fulbright Scholar Program, in response to a recognized need for exchange of dialogue and expertise between professionals, scholars and academic institutions.
Since the traditional Fulbright program generally awards grants on a semester or year long basis, creators of the new Senior Specialist Program sought to attract more applicants through a shorter, two to six week time commitment.
The Senior Specialist Program also differs from the traditional program in that qualified applicants are placed on a roster and then matched with institutions.
The institutions must first submit a request for a Fulbright Senior Specialist, and then the Fulbright Commission assigns scholars accordingly.

We recognize that your child was part of God's plan from the beginning of time. During their formative years in Children's Ministry we will help them dive into a life-long relationship with their best friend, Jesus.
We pull out all the stops to make Sunday the best day of your child's week. Our teachers are dedicated to teaching the Bible in a fun, creative, engaging, hands-on way so your child will remember what they have learned.
While values are important and knowing right from wrong is crucial, God is most interested in a character formed through a personal relationship with Jesus.
When you arrive at church, you will be greeted at a children's welcome desk. We will give your children a warm welcome as well as a gift to let them know how happy we are to see them. You will then be accompanied to our "kid-check" check-in station and assisted in quickly registering your child and getting a name tag for each of them as well as a claim ticket for yourself. Once you have checked-in, one of our friendly greeters will walk both you and your child to your new classrooms and introduce you to the teacher that day. Feel free to ask questions – we understand. We're parents ourselves!
If your child needs you anytime during the church service, we will put their number up on the screens located on both sides of the stage. If you don't notice the number, we can flash it. Don't worry, you'll see it.
At the end of church service, please bring your "claim ticket" to the child's classroom for pick-up. The teacher will match up your ticket number and return a happy child to you. We love making new friends! We will do everything in our power to help your child make new friends while they are with us. Come check us out. You'll love where we're going!
If I can personally serve you or answer any questions please feel free to contact me at: 301-829-3722

My friend said that the scarf was beautiful and soft. She loved it. I never saw the scarf, but she seemed very pleased with it.
I purchased this shawl as a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law. She loves it! The shawl is beautifully crafted, soft and feminine. The craftmanship far exceeds the price.
I've been searching for a paisley shawl with subdued (not flashy or bright) colors and found it in this scarf. The fabric is substantial and the scarf is long enough to wrap around once and tie in the front. Due to the pure wool content, the scarf keeps me very warm. I am very glad that I made this purchase! The scarf is a quality product and looks elegant and classy.

"The strong new order demand we're seeing from both existing and new customers is a direct result of the ongoing enhancements we're been making to our mobile data product portfolio," said Ken Souza , Senior Vice President and General Manager of BIO-key's Law Enforcement Division. "Our customers are looking for ways in which they can increase productivity and lower operational costs and our solutions deliver on both counts."
BIO-key recently released MobileCop 7.0, the company's latest mobile data software enhancement, that enables police officers to be more effective in the field and the network easier to manage from any location. The software's new RollCall feature uses "wiki" technology to broadcast up-to-date inter-agency information and directives, such as patrol assignments, house watch requests, or "be on the lookout" alerts (BOLOs), directly to all patrol vehicles. By using RollCall, officers are no longer required to drive to the station at the beginning of the shift -- or at other times -- to obtain inter-agency information. RollCall helps improve communications and productivity as well as reducing car mileage and fuel expenses.
Message Center, another feature of MobileCop 7.0, centralizes all text messaging, announcement and email functions within a single window accessible from a single icon, and allows officers to receive critical information directly from RSS feeds, such as weather advisories and Amber Alerts. "Message Center has been well received by our patrol officers," according to Lincoln (NE) Police Department Sergeant, Todd Beam . "Officers in the street aren't just doing mobile computing; they're often doing it while in motion. Having a single, consolidated interface for all communications means they can concentrate on the job rather than jumping from screen to screen." MobileCop 7.0 is available to all current maintenance customers.

I have never seen kids feverishly paging through a book as much as they have been flying through all of the toy catalogs we have been getting in the mail and the newspaper. Holy smokes! Talk about well loved. These paper versions of their fantasies get creased, folded, torn, shredded, and still they are cherished so kids can continue to drool over the toys of their dreams. The other day, my son carried one of these catalogs around ALL DAY, even while he ate lunch, so he could show everyone what he wanted for Christmas.

Back in October, my mom, the kids, and I went to McDonalds for cheap Happy Meal night. When our food arrived, we were surprised to see it tucked into cute little Halloween-themed plastic buckets. Seeing those little pumpkin pails took me back in time to my childhood and my favorite "themed" Happy Meals—the ones in plastic spaceships.
"Remember those?" I asked my mom fondly, only to have her look at me like I'd lost my marbles. "I think you're imagining that," she said skeptically. Thankfully, a quick search of the internet proved me right and took me down memory lane with it.

Acro Revolution TT is a 12 day residential training focused on the art of being a mindful acrobat. The training will consist of intensive instruction in L-base acrobatics with a focus on skills including; washing machines, foot to hand, hand to hand, whips, pops, and other circus monkey tricks.
Acro Revolution Co-Founder & TT Facilitator
Aaron is a renowned teacher of partner acrobatics and an advocate for empowerment through partnership! He has been fascinated by movement-based practices since childhood, which led to many thousands of hours of playful exploration. Aaron has explored and trained many thousands of hours of handstand, gymnastic movement, yoga, and partner acrobatics. He is also a musician, holding an MFA in Jazz Studies and a burlesque artist trained in the New Orleans tradition. He brings a creative flair to his offerings and invites students to cultivate performance as a natural extension of skill-based practice. www.aaronlindyoga.com
Lizzy is life-long circus monkey and now a full-fledge MBA! From the time she could crawl she was monkeying around and was lucky enough to have an older brother that was in the circus. Throughout childhood, Lizzy loved gymnastics, acrobatics, and circus classes. Then like many people, she 'became an adult' and mostly forgot about these things until the universe sent her some amazing friends including Josh Young who awakened that inner-child-acrobat! theyogimba.com
Acro Revolution Co-Founder, TT Facilitator, Founder of Acropedia, Peter Pan
Josh is happiest when he is empowering others to be the best version of themselves. He spends all of his free time flying everyone through hand-to-hand, washing machines, whips, and pops! When he is not tossing someone around, he is dorking out on cataloging every single acro washing machine, pose and transition. After spending years searching for acro videos on YouTube, Josh came up with the idea to build Acropedia.org: a free resource for acrobats everywhere. Not only does Josh have a deep love for high-level acrobatics, he also practices acropeutics, an inversion healing practice.
Sara is the official Acro Mama of the Acro Revolution Tribe. Her journey started when she found yoga at the age of 18. Yoga kept Sara grounded and connected to her breath, mind, and spirit. Sara began teaching yoga to her community, but she felt something was missing. Yoga, as traditionally taught, lacked connection with others. The day Sara found herself on top of someone's feet, flying through the air with the support of another human being, her life changed forever. She immediately started to share a different approach to yoga, an approach with more fun, play, joy, and transformation. Sara is now lucky to share this practice with her love / husband / partner / co-teacher Whakapaingia and their baby girl, Tahi. Sara and her family travel around the world spreading the gift of joy, playfulness, and connection. kohayoga.com
Whaka is the spiritual heartbeat of the Acro Revolution tribe. Having always been a warrior and athlete, Whaka found the healing power of acropeutics and the joy of acrobatics when he was living in the US as a professional rugby player. In 2005, he started his healing journey after giving up his perception that yoga "was for girls" and not for tough guys. A few months into his practice, Whaka noticed his body recovered from tough rugby matches without the usual drugs or surgery. Through the path of yoga he learned to heal himself. Whaka then began to give this gift of healing to others by becoming a certified yoga teacher and thai massage practitioner.
Whaka found acro serendipitously on a beach when a women approached him and asked him if he wanted to fly. That woman became his wife, Sara. In one day Whaka found his life long passion and the person he would share that gift to the world with for the rest of his life. Whaka & Sara founded Koha Yoga in 2009. Koha is the Maori word for gift. Whaka & Sara travel around the world with their daughter Tahi, helping people discover the gifts of trust, joy, laughter, play, balance, and release through acro, acropeutics, yoga, and paddle-boarding. kohayoga.com

Although the rub was very tasty, I prefer a flank steak marinated. I served this with buttered noodles and red beats. I was easy enough to make, but if I were to make it again, I think I would try to slow cook it.

James Carrier
For a tasty side dish for the stuffed flank steak, serve hot, buttered noodles sprinkled with chopped parsley or prepare penne pasta topped with your favorite marinara sauce.

The government has voted down a Fianna Fáil attempt to block the appointment of a new chairman of Eirgrid.
Fianna Fáil wanted the Oireachtas transport committee to veto the appointment of John O'Connor as the new head of the company.
But the government has successfully forced through an amendment which supported Mr O'Connor.
A spokesman said the government still had full confidence in Mr O'Connor as the chairman of Eirgrid, despite his admission that he wouldn't personally want to live beside a pylon.

Iron Man 3 is out this week, and we couldn't help noticing that the baddie he's fighting has a spectacularly unthreatening name. Unfortunately for the supervillain community, this isn't all that unusual.
5. The Mandarin
Let's start with Iron Man 3's big antagonist. On paper, this guy is a badass: A genius scientist and supreme martial artist with a sweet-ass collection of super-powered jewelry and (in the comics, at least) a brilliant tiny little bad guy beard, he's gone toe-to-toe with Iron Man many times over the years. Which begs the question – why did he name himself after a small, delicious, squishy fruit?
4. Angar The Screamer
Angar The Screamer was a former hippie who turned villainous after gaining "hypersound" powers. Almost certainly the result of a writer's LSD flashback (the sentence, "Angar could scream very loudly and cause people to hallucinate" sounds almost exactly like an experience we once had in a Dutch youth hostel), he's a pretty pathetic villain in most respects, but his name especially fails to fill readers with the sense of dread required of an A-list bad guy. Quite apart from sounding like a man who'd cry the first time you punched him in the mouth, no self-respecting villain should ever have a moniker that sounds like a nickname you'd give to a sexually enthusiastic Swedish girl in a co-ed dorm.
3. Paste-Pot Pete
It's truly a mystery how anyone could have thought this name would inspire terror. Actually, it's a mystery how anyone could have thought anything about this guy could inspire terror, since his weapon of choice is a glue gun, but that's an argument for another day. He's since rebranded himself as "The Trapster", although if he really wanted to inspire fear and loathing in the public at large, he'd do better by switching a couple letters out and just becoming "The Hipster." That, truly, would be a villain we'd pay good money to see kicked in the face by Spider-Man.
2. Leper Queen
There are plenty of scary diseases out there that villains could name themselves after, so why this angry lady – a burnt-faced, gun-loving mutant hater in the Marvel Universe - decided to go with leprosy is anyone's guess. True, leprosy is a nasty, nasty illness and one we wouldn't wish on anyone (except that Trevor guy upstairs. He's a dick), but when giving yourself an intimidating name, it's best to choose one that doesn't imply that your hand will fall off the first time you throw a punch.
1. Rainbow Raider
Rainbow Raider is hardly the only supervillain to sound like he stole his identity from a gay male escort – "Doctor Glitternight," "Purple Man," and – sigh – "Bi-Beast" are all real supervillains – but he's got to be the most flamboyantly ridiculous (and yes, we took Crazy Quilt into consideration). Among his powers is the ability to "coat people in blue light and make them sad," which, honestly, seems like an effect he could achieve simply by showing up.

- Headquarters:
- Jersey City, NJ
- Description:
- Diapers.com is an online babycare specialty marketplace in the United States.
- Website:
- http://www.diapers.com
Company DetailsUpdate
Founded in Montclair, New Jersey, by Marc Lore and Vinit Bharara, Diapers.com is the largest online baby care specialty site in the United States. As dads themselves, Marc and Vinit understand the world of diapers.
Tired of the 'diaper runaround' - midnight store runs for diapers, frustrated searches for the right diaper size, wasted time waiting in store lines and traffic - they knew there must be a better way. Turning to the convenience of the Internet for help, they were astonished with the lack of online diaper sources.
Diapers.com was quickly born, initially offering the most popular name-brand diapers, wipes and formula - and then adding almost every baby product you can think of, from bottles and baby food, to shampoo and rash ointment, and now gear and nursery furniture! Its mission: To offer the lowest prices moms (and dads!) will find online, along with the convenience of fast, free shipping and the best customer service around. Standing behind this mission, Diapers.com makes it easy for customers to contact them by phone or email - the company name says it all.
In just a few months, Diapers.com spurred a major 'change' in the way parents buy diapers. The company continues to grow exponentially, thanks to an ever-expanding brigade of over 500,000 happy moms and dads who cheerfully spread the word on where to find "the best deal on diapers and so much more."

An inexpensive, lightweight alternative to slab doors, hollow core doors consist of a basic frame covered in veneers. With less wood in the door, there is less potential for warping from moisture, making hollow core the best option for bathroom closets. Hanging a hollow core door on your interior closet resembles hanging a slab door with a few exceptions such as where you make trim cuts and how you drill the doorknob hole. Hollow core doors with pre-drilled doorknob holes require even less work to hang.
Measure the door opening height and width. Transfer those measurements to the door. For the width, start the measurement on the doorknob side and measure toward the hinge side. For the height, divide the amount to cut off by 2 and mark that distance from the top and bottom edges of the door.
Clamp a straightedge along the mark and trace along the edge to mark your cutting lines. Run a piece of tape along the line so that one edge touches the line. Put the tape on the part of the door that is not being cut away.
Clamp the door to a level work surface with the hinge side overhanging the edge. Tighten the clamps to ensure the door does not move.
Set your circular saw blade to a 90-degree angle. Cut along your marked line. Then wipe the sawdust off the door and leave it clamped to the cutting surface.
Measure 40 inches up from the bottom edge of the door on the doorknob side. Make a small mark on the door at that measurement. Spread a piece of masking tape horizontally along the door with the bottom edge touching that mark.
Measure 1 1/2 inches along the bottom edge of the tape starting at the edge of the door on the same side. Make a small mark and spread a piece of tape so the side of the tape furthest from the edge touches the mark.
Attach a hole saw the same size as your doorknob to your drill. Set the drill to a low speed and line the hole saw up with the edges of both pieces of tape. Begin drilling slowly without applying pressure to the door. Let the drill do the work. Continue drilling until you break through the door. Repeat the measuring, marking and cutting process on the other side of the door as needed.
Hold the door up inside the opening. Insert shims on all four sides to hold the door firmly in place and free up your hands.
Draw a light pencil mark from the center of your doorknob hole horizontally onto the door facing. Hold one door hinge so the top edge is 6 inches down from the top edge of the door. Mark the top and bottom edges of the hinge on the door and the door frame. Repeat the measuring and marking process 6 inches up from the bottom edge of the door.
Remove the shims and set the door back down on a level surface. Remove the pin from the hinges, separating them into 2 pieces.
Hold one side of the hinge up to your marked locations and trace around them on the side of the door and the door frame. Chisel out the inside of the traced edges to the same depth as the hinge is thick.
Screw the hinges in place using the included hardware. Set the door back in place at the door, lining up the pin holes in the hinges. Insert the pins and tap them into place with a hammer.

Modified Bitumen
Increased resistance to brittleness at cold temperatures, greater flow resistance at high temperatures, and increased elasticity can be achieved by blending synthetic rubberized polymers with asphalt in lieu of modification by the blowing process used for BUR asphalt. There are numerous surfacing options for this system which include a factory applied mineral surface, gravel surface, including "cool roof" coatings which are highly-reflective to save on building cooling costs. Mineral-surfaced MB products are typically furnished with white granules, but are also available in designer colors to match asphalt shingles or to otherwise compliment the building design.
MB gives designers and installers an even broader array of options than BUR. MB may be installed by the torch-application method, or "hot-mopped" like BUR, or applied with "cold-process" adhesives. The latest innovation with MB is the self-adhering sheet. Using special combinations of polymers to modify the underside of the MB sheet, the rolls are manufactured with a release paper. The installer removes the release paper and as the sheet is rolled out, it adheres itself to the substrate. This method eliminates the risks associated with the use of torches, hot asphalt, and is completely free of VOC (volatile organic chemicals) fumes during and after application.
Proven track record of performance
Superior waterproofing characteristics
Broad range of application methods
Wide choice of top-surfacing, including "Cool Roofing" options
With insulation, provides an even better-performing building component
High tensile-strength
Available as part of a fire, wind, and/or hail rated roofing system
Competitive life-cycle cost
Available with flame-free and VOC-free installation
Long-term warranties are available with many MB systems

ATI Runs PhysX With Modified Drivers
Haifa (Israel) - This one did not take long: We already knew that Nvidia is working on a CUDA version for x86 CPUs, but said it would leave a modification for ATI GPUs to others. Eran Badit of ngohq.com told us that he has done it already and was able to get the Nvidia PhysX layer to run on ATI Radeon cards.
After playing with Nvidia's CUDA SDK and PhysX SDK, Eran apparently got the PhysX layer to play along with Radeon cards. He mentioned that enabling PhysX support on Radeon cards is not particularly difficult, leading us to believe that physics on graphics cards may not so much be a technology problem but a game of politics.
Eran said that he will be offering the ATI PhysX-enabling utility on ngohq.com as soon as he gets his hands on more hardware to check the application on more than one graphics card. We are told that he is testing hardware already, which means that the software should be available "soon".
On his first run, Eran got a 22,606 CPU score in 3D Mark Vantage, enhancing the overall score to P4262. A comparable system without PhysX-support will cross the finish line at about P3800.
We are told that there is currently no relationship between ngohq.com and AMD's PR team, which means that Eran does not have access to Radeon 4850 or 4870 cards. Check the www.ngohq.com website for the software to become available this weekend.

0enewmen , June 26, 2008 6:53 PMThis keeps getting better. So, I expect a standard Physics API sometime in the see-able future.
0nukemaster , June 26, 2008 6:56 PMCool
0DXRick , June 26, 2008 7:12 PMDirectX has always been a hardware abstraction layer (HAL) that gives developers the same API that will work on all video cards that support it. Making the PhysX SDK work the same way would be the best solution for game developers, so that they don't have to write different code for the different video cards.
The fact that Nvidia has developed PhysX to only work on their cards, is not doing any favors for game developers. Time will tell if they are developing PhysX purely for their own selfish interests or actually care about the needs of game developers....
0hannibal , June 26, 2008 7:29 PMThe Nvidia is worried about Havok, this may be the only way of making Physx more appealing compared to Havok... The problem is that they can make Physx so that it will run much faster on Nvidia cards by clever programing... well at least the situation is now better than it was some time ago.
I still think that we need DirectPhysic api, from MS to make this clear...

All in all very interresting thing to happen! There is allso very active discussion of this subject in Futuremark discussion board. Many people have very passionate opinions in this matter indeed!
ATI's responce was not so polite, but I hope that they make official move towards GPU physiscs soon enough, so that the playing field will be leveled again.
0martel80 , June 26, 2008 7:36 PMIsn't this some kind of bootleg? I mean nvidia could perhaps outlaw the software as they don't get royalties for the PhysX technology they own.
It's like those bootleg Sound Blaster drivers that enabled Dolby Digital (or DTS?) on cards for which the royalty hasn't been paid.
0one-shot , June 26, 2008 7:44 PMcool is my response
4Mr_Man , June 26, 2008 9:25 PM@hannibal:
I don't think Microsoft should make it. That would turn out like DirectX 10, meaning us Linux-users couldn't play it out of the box with Wine very easily, if at all.
0kilkennycat , June 26, 2008 9:53 PMI suspect that nVidia might just require some license revenue for PhysX calls at GPU driver level. They now own all of the PhysX IP. I doubt if AMD/ATi will get a free ride here, and from the article it seems as if nVidia would be very willing to discuss the subject in detail with ATi.
1nekatreven , June 26, 2008 9:59 PMKeeping DX10 and other advanced gaming tech off of Linux is (sadly) probably in the interest of most of these companies right now. Its not like someone 'forgot' to write in native linux support for DX10...they wouldn't even put it on XP for crying out loud.
Its unfortunate, but keeping it from working out of the box on linux is kind of the point. The only thing that will really ever change this is linux gaining more market share.
1nukemaster , June 26, 2008 11:46 PMNvidia will be releasing it for all 8000, 9000 and 200 cards in the future.
-1liemfukliang , June 26, 2008 11:48 PMPlease make it enable for other Nvidia Card beside the 4 official one.
0Anonymous , June 27, 2008 2:47 AMHere my 2 cents for what they are worth. The only thing PhysX has going for it right now is the Unreal Tournament 3 engine that uses PhysX as its physics API. There are ALOT of games coming out running with the engine which is really the only good thing for PhysX right now. Havok has been much more widely used in the past and will be in the future since it has been around for so long and it is designed to run just fine on any card be it nVidia or ATI. Had nVidia not bought PhysX it would have faded into the back ground as yet another failed technology. Fortunately nVidia saw a cheap deal on something they could use and license to other people and make money from. Who is going to come out on top is up for grabs as it stands not Havok has a much wider user base and the benefit of running on any GPU hardware where as up until these hacked drivers PhysX was going to only run in nVidia hardware.
1Mathos , June 27, 2008 5:26 AMIf this works out right, this will also improve the performance of the ATI cards in the games that are their current weak points.... Namely those that use the Unreal Engine 3 that benefits from PhysX support.
0niz , June 27, 2008 9:14 AMI have an 2 8800GTXs but the drivers with Physx in them detect the card and only allow you to install it on 9xxx cards and newer. There is hardly if any differece between the 8800GTX GPU and the 9xxx GPU other than clockspeeds. Its obviously nVidia are playing marketing games to get people to needlessly 'upgrade' rather than any actual technical need.
Now even ATI cards can use this before it even will install on my Nvidia 8800GTX which especailly proves my point.
-2spaztic7 , June 27, 2008 1:45 PMThis is great and all, but will it really matter in games? Do you really want your video card wasting power on Physx when it could be rendering more frames (assuming the game in a taxing game where it uses the GPU at 100%)?
Havok has more then enough power in that to generate very good physics. HL2 and that engine shows software base physics is very good, not to mention that Havok is not only used in games, but also other renderings for things like weather, military, movies, media, so on and so forth.
The age old question, is Physx even worth it or is it just a sales gimmick?
2MxM , June 27, 2008 3:32 PMI do like Physx approach much more than Havok's. To have specialized hardware is much better than general purpose software run on general purpose processor. It is also cheaper - you do not need to upgrade video card AND processor for the next gen games, just video card with PhysX.
0spaztic7 , June 27, 2008 4:28 PMQuote:I do like Physx approach much more than Havok's. To have specialized hardware is much better than general purpose software run on general purpose processor. It is also cheaper - you do not need to upgrade video card AND processor for the next gen games, just video card with PhysX.
The thing today is, Physx won't be its own slap of hardware anymore. It's controlled by Nvidia and does whatever Nvidia tells it to do. Physx is now more or less software controlled but for, as we see now, any hardware to run.
It's cool to see it run, but is it worth it?
0arrpeegeer , June 27, 2008 6:41 PMProps to someone lone soul in Israel doing what...a more responsible company should be doing.
Corporate politics makes me want to puke sometimes. Well, almost all the time.
0chechak , June 27, 2008 6:46 PMATI and Physx=stable performance
0silversound , June 27, 2008 7:08 PMSo is CUBA an open program or API?
