International academic events are always a good laboratory to observe not only the various schools of thought, national educational orientations and current trends, but also opportunities to think about about language and understanding. Not less importantly, they represent occasions to think about the need for permanent education, independently of our sometimes impressive academic degrees and professional performances.

I ran into a former student a few days ago who said that, since she took the required college math course, she is now better able to help her son with his homework. I had to laugh, because I often get into struggles with my own daughter about whether to help her with her homework, which she would rather not do in the first place.

Any campus which is trying to become more sustainable has to get there one step -- one project -- at a time. Or, at least, one set of projects at a time. The importance of submitting project proposals for approval and funding in sets or bundles is something a lot of sustainability administrators learn early on.

This year our college selected a common theme, "Leadership," and as part of that theme we assigned all our freshmen seminar students to read Soul of a Citizen by Paul Loeb. Since my freshman seminar is "The Culture of Food," we discussed parent groups advocating school lunch reform, the early food coops, food pantries, and animal rights groups. Many of my students are horrified by the treatment of animals in slaughterhouses that Schlosser documents in Fast Food Nation.

(First, an incident that might be slightly off-topic but which I found amusing: ) Last night I get in my car to drive to the local high school seven blocks away for a town hall style meeting with the superintendent of our enormous school system. As I drive up our block, a car turns out onto the street directly in front of me – our new neighbor (at-home father of three young children). He turns, I follow. He turns again, I follow.

5 Things Netflix Streaming Can Teach Higher Ed:1. Replace Yourself: Offering unlimited streaming for $8.99 a month (1 physical DVD out at a time) may seem like the best way to cannibalize a core business of charging people $16.99 a month for 3 DVDs. But Netflix knew that if it did not take this step then someone else would. Much better to grow the customer base by offering a superior product at a good price than to try to hold on to a limited number of customers using a legacy product. Where can we replace ourselves in higher ed, before someone else does it for us?

Frequently asked questions
Is Moriamin suitable for Diabetes & Hypertensive patients?Dr Myat Thura Tun (24), Yangon
Hello dear Dr Myat Thura Tun. Reception Moriamin Forte does not cause side effects in patients who receive antihypertensive and hypoglycemic drugs. Application of Moriamin Forte must be under the control of the glucose level. Patients suffering from diabetes all the time control the level of glucose, so taking Moriamin Forte does not entail additional effort from patients.

Hello! I'm naturally skinny ever since I was young. I'm having a hard time to gain weight. So I just want to ask if can moriamin forte will help me to gain weight? I have no time to go to the gym to exercise, can I still take moriamin even without going to the gym? You think I'll still gain weight? Thankyou! :)JM Mendoza (19), Bacoor
Dear JM Mendoza,
Unfortunatelly there is no magic pill or food to gain muscle weight. We think you should not worry - you will gain weight naturally in the next years. But of you would like to make the process faster than you will have to combine protein reach food and exercises - you may not go to the gym, it is enough to make 20 minutes exercises (weight training) at home. In the best case you can go to the gym once, find there a trainer and ask him to write your personal home-exercises program. It is the only way to build beautiful feminine body and increase weight quickly. Moriamin can be of help to make the process much faster, but still it will take some time and efforts :)
We wish you a good health!
Best regards,
i really need to gain weight.. what can i do? can moriamin forte help me? im 20, 5'2" in height yet im only 38 klo's. help me pls. thankz! :))karen (20), ilo
Dear Karen,
If you are energetic, tireless, eating enough, you are healthy and the only problem is that you are just slim, then you are lucky because the way to gain muscle weight and have beautiful body is much easier and pleasant for you than to loose some weight for another girls. There is no magic pill or food to gain muscle weight. If you will just start eating much more, then most probably you will gain problems with liver and gain some fat that will be very visible on your slim body. To avoid it we would advise you to combine fitness/gym, good trainer and good sports nutrition (proteins/gainers/sports amino acids) according to the trainer's recommendations. Do not worry, you will not transform into Schwarzenegger:) It should help you to build beautiful feminine body and increase weight. Moriamin can be of help to make the process much faster, but still it will take some time :)
We wish you a good health!
Best regards,
Can I purchase this product over the counter without a doctor's prescription?Al (24), QC
Dear Al,
Usually Moriamin is an OTC-medicine (in most countries it depends on registration) and there is no need to have doctor's prescription to buy it, but it may be not registered in your country yet so it will not be present in the pharmacies.
We wish you a good health!
With best regards,
Can moriamin forte promote weight gain? How many capsules should I take each day? I'm too skinny and I really need to gain weight. Thanks..:)Abby (24), Cebu City
Dear Abby,
To make recommendations we should at least understand the causes of your thinness. Are you skinny naturally? Or have you may be lost weight, for example, after some illness? Do you feel you have a good health or get sick, tired often? Do you have any hormonal misbalance?
If you think you are energetic, tireless, eating normally, you are healthy and the only problem is that you are just slim, then we would advise you to combine fitness/gym, good trainer and good sports nutrition (proteins/gainers/sports amino acids) according to the trainer's recommendations. It should help you to build sightly muscles and increase weight. Moriamin can be of help to make the process much faster, but still it will take some time:)
Usual dosage of Moriamin Forte is 1-2 capsules 3 times a day. You can start with 6 capsules a day for the first month and then reduce dosage down to 3 capsules a day from the second month of treatment. Do not take Moriamin longer than 3 months in a row. Make at least 1-2 months break after each 2-3-months course of Moriamin.
If you are weak, your musculature is poorly developed, you have a poor appetite, poor digestion, low blood pressure, frequent sickness, then new food and supplements will not solve the problem. You need to find out and cure the reason of the weight loss, and Moriamin Forte is highly recommended in this case because it can speed up the process of recovery and help to reach better results. For sure you need to get an advice from your doctor on the dosage and term of use of Moriamin, as well as on any other medicines or food supplements.
We wish you a good health!
Best regards,

The Toxic Avenger is a 1984 American superhero horror comedy film directed by Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman (credited as Samuel Weil) and written by Kaufman and Joe Ritter. The film was released by Troma Entertainment, known for producing low budget B-movies with campy concepts and gruesome violence. Virtually ignored upon its first release, The Toxic Avenger caught on with filmgoers after a long and successful midnight movie engagement at the famed Bleecker Street Cinemas in New York City in late 1985. It now is regarded as a cult classic. Wikipedia

This paper gives an overview of the INCAS (INCremental Architecture for distributed Systems) multicomputer project, which aims at the development of a comprehensive methodology for the design and implementation of locally distributed systems. A structuring concept for distributed operating systems has been developed and integrated into the system implementation language LADY. The concurrent high-level programming language CSSA, based on the actor model, has been designed for the implementation of distributed applications. A substantial effort in the INCAS project is directed towards the development of a distributed test methodology. An experimental system has been implemented on a network of ten MC68000 microcomputers. Preliminary experience with the methodology has been gained from a small number of prototype applications.

If you're like me — hundreds of miles from Minnesota — the chance to attend a Vikings game comes once in a blue moon. This year, I'll be fortunate enough to see Teddy Bridgewater and Co. twice, when the team travels to California for matchups with the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders.
For the lucky fans living in Minnesota, each season brings a handful of home games to TCF Bank Stadium, and soon, to U.S. Bank Stadium. This year, the Vikings face a number of new opponents at home, as laid out in the picture below:
The first two games listed are preseason games, so we'll ignore those for now. Preseason means little to most fans, unless you're a diehard like most of us here, right?
Seeing as single-game tickets go on sale today, there's no better time than now to play the hypothetical polling game! Many of you own season tickets and attend every game, but let's throw reality out the window for a second —at least until training camp begins and the news cycle kicks into high gear.

Say hello to the new face of Thierry Mugler Angel fragrance, Eva Mendes.

We can see why they choose Eva--she just oozes with gorgeousness! If we can look that amazing with Angel, spritz some on us, stat!
According to a brand spokesperson, "Thierry Mugler chose to reignite the enticing and explosive dimensions of the fragrance with the sultry Mendes.

Water, Water Everywhere; It's Not an Adventure, It's a Job for the Employees Who Keep These Parks Wet and Not Too Wild
Published: July 5, 1998
(Page 2 of 4)
The water park occupies the easternmost third of the pier; the guards are used to trundling past the European-built ''dry rides'' on the western two-thirds, not just the broken Sea Serpent, but also the old rococo Venetian Carousel and the waltzing Teacups ride, in which the ''china'' is an authentic-looking blue Delft pattern.
Amusement parks, a European invention, have been around since the 1840's, and started booming in the United States during the car-crazy 50's. That was also the era of motels, and Wilbert Morey, the grandson of a Coast Guard carpenter, made a career out of building some 30 in Wildwood. The motels are still there, and gorgeously dated, with their Frank Lloyd Wrightish geometry adorned with curving grillwork, plastic palms and stylized signs. Mr. Morey and his brother, William, got into the amusement park business in 1969, with a fiberglass slide (still standing on Morey's Pier, a half mile north of Mariner's Landing) and a huge King Kong, later importing dozens more rides from Europe.
Water slides and wave pools, based on American technology, arrived in the late 70's, and the Moreys jumped on board right away and by the late 80's, they had created two full-scale water parks, both named Raging Waters, one at Mariner's Landing and one at Morey's Pier.
8:55 A.M. Larry Loscalzo, 26, is the first guest of the day, and he's early. A portfolio assistant for a money manager in New York, he's alone. His wife, he explains, likes sleeping more than splashing. Kay and Charles Swanson arrive from Philadelphia with their 8-year-old grandson, Thomas.
Four workers arrive with smiles and boxes and boxes and boxes of wristbands, marked for two-hour, three-hour or all-day sessions. Everyone waits for the opening announcement, but the lifeguards have to be in place, and George Rohman, Ms. Beckson's assistant, is still prepping Team Rage, as the guards are collectively known, for the roller coaster questions.
9:04 A.M. Remy Wallace, 21, a student at Temple, picks up the microphone. ''Good morning, and welcome to Raging Waters,'' he intones. ''At this time, the park is officially open. Please read all signs before riding the slides and obey the lifeguards, for your safety and enjoyment. Thank you and enjoy your stay with Team Rage and Raging Waters at Mariner's Landing.''
Mr. Loscalzo heads to the Lazy River, a meandering circuit with a gentle current that pleases the very old, the very young and the very languid. Thomas zips off to the Ropeswing.
Some guests pay $2 for a locker key. They get $1 back when they turn it in. About 30 keys a day don't make it back. Harry Reeve, a 54-year-old maintenance worker, spent an hour and a half replacing locks this morning. In more than a decade, he has not ridden a single slide. ''I got no time to be going down the rides,'' he says.
9:40 A.M. Mary Beth Bryers, 43, follows her 13-year-old daughter, Elise, and Elise's basketball friends, grabbing a foam mat and climbing the seemingly endless wooden stairs to the Speed Slides. When the guard tells her it's her turn, she lies down, stomach to the mat, grips the front edge and shoots down a series of turns and whirls. Somewhere in the 20 seconds of the ride, somehow, she bangs her head.
As she flies into the exit pool, blood is pouring down her face, but she has no idea. She doesn't know why the guard is pulling her to the side.
Seconds later, Jack Ross, an army-trained emergency medical technician, leads her into the First Aid station and puts a tiny bandage on the quarter-inch gash by her right eyebrow. Ms. Beckson gives her directions to a hospital where she'll get a stitch or two. ''The thing is,'' Ms. Bryers says ruefully, ''I can't go back in!''
10:30 A. M. The thermometer is at 82, with a clear sky and a burning sun. (The day's high will be 88.) All the guard chairs are full, all the rides are being ridden. The only thing that will change from now until closing, at 7:30 P.M., is the number of visitors, which will total 2,000 or so by the end of the day.
The guards rotate all day long, switching at least every 40 minutes. It helps keep them vigilant. Alexandra Jablokov, 19, yields her chair at the Shotgun Slides to another guard and climbs up to the top of the Sky Pool, a relatively gentle thriller that takes riders in inner tubes down a slide, into a pool, down another slide, into another pool, and so on.
The day moves on fairly uneventfully. Rom Nardi, 70, comes through with a couple of new employees, university students from Holland. Mr. Nardi goes way back with the Moreys, and speaks with sad warmth of his old friend Wilbert, who died in January.
Mr. Nardi hires several hundred people a year to staff Morley-owned snack stands, the dry rides and the water parks, and if there's one secret to making the whole thing work, it's his judge of character and his rapport with young adults. What other age group would have the necessary combination of energy and focus? And, for $5.25 an hour, what could draw them in these numbers besides the summertime company of hundreds of their peers?

Are Computers Still Getting Faster?
It looks like CES is starting to wind down, which makes sense because it ended three days ago. Now that we're mostly caught up, I found a new video from The 8-Bit Guy. He doesn't really explain any old technologies in this one. Instead, he poses an open question about computer speed. He was able to have a functional computing experience on a ten-year-old Apple laptop, which made him wonder if the rate of computer advancement is slowing down.
I believe that he (and his guest hosts) made great points, but also missed a few important ones.
One of his main arguments is that software seems to have slowed down relative to hardware. I don't believe that is true, but I believe it's looking in the right area. PCs these days are more than capable of doing just about anything in terms of 2D user interface that we would want to, and do so with a lot of overhead for inefficient platforms and sub-optimal programming (relative to the 80's and 90's at the very least). The areas that require extra horsepower are usually doing large batches of many related tasks. GPUs are key in this area, and they are keeping up as fast as they can, despite some stagnation with fabrication processes and a difficulty (at least before HBM takes hold) in keeping up with memory bandwidth.
For the last five years to ten years or so, CPUs have been evolving toward efficiency as GPUs are being adopted for the tasks that need to scale up. I'm guessing that AMD, when they designed the Bulldozer architecture, hoped that GPUs would have been adopted much more aggressively, but even as graphics devices, they now have a huge effect on Web, UI, and media applications.
These are also tasks that can scale well between devices by lowering resolution (and so forth). The primary thing that a main CPU thread needs to do is figure out the system's state and keep the graphics card fed before the frame-train leaves the station. In my experience, that doesn't scale well (although you can sometimes reduce the amount of tracked objects for games and so forth). Moreover, it is easier to add GPU performance, compared to single-threaded CPU, because increasing frequency and single-threaded IPC should be more complicated than planning out more, duplicated blocks of shaders. These factors combine to give lower-end hardware a similar experience in the most noticeable areas.
So, up to this point, we discussed:
- Software is often scaling in ways that are GPU (and RAM) limited.
- CPUs are scaling down in power more than up in performance.
- GPU-limited tasks can often be approximated with smaller workloads.
- Software gets heavier, but it doesn't need to be "all the way up" (ex: resolution).
- Some latencies are hard to notice anyway.
Back to the Original Question
This is where "Are computers still getting faster?" can be open to interpretation.
Tasks are diverging from one class of processor into two, and both have separate industries, each with their own, multiple goals. As stated, CPUs are mostly progressing in power efficiency, which extends (an assumed to be) sufficient amount of performance downward to multiple types of devices. GPUs are definitely getting faster, but they can't do everything. At the same time, RAM is plentiful but its contribution to performance can be approximated with paging unused chunks to the hard disk or, more recently on Windows, compressing them in-place. Newer computers with extra RAM won't help as long as any single task only uses a manageable amount of it -- unless it's seen from a viewpoint that cares about multi-tasking.
In short, computers are still progressing, but the paths are now forked and winding.
AMD Announces Radeon R9 Nano Price Cut
Subject: Graphics Cards | January 11, 2016 - 08:32 AM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: radeon, r9 nano, R9 Fury X, price cut, press release, amd
AMD has announced a price cut for the Radeon R9 Nano, which will now have a suggested price of $499, a $150 drop from the original $649 MSRP.
VideoCardz had the story this morning, quoting the official press release from AMD:
"This past September, the AMD Radeon™ R9 Nano graphics card launched to rave reviews, claiming the title of the world's fastest and most power efficient Mini ITX gaming card, powered by the world's most advanced and innovative GPU with on-chip High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) for incredible 4K gaming performance. There was nothing like it ever seen before, and today, it remains in a class of its own, delivering smooth, true-to-life, premium 4K and VR gaming in a small form factor PC.
At a peak power of 175W and in a 6-inch form factor, it drives levels of performance that are on par with larger, more power-hungry GPUs from competitors, and blows away Mini ITX competitors with up to 30 percent better performance than the GTX 970 Mini ITX.
As of today, 11 January, this small card will have an even bigger impact on gamers around the world as AMD announces a change in the AMD Radeon™ R9 Nano graphics card's SEP from $649 to $499. At the new price, the AMD Radeon™ R9 Nano graphics card will be more accessible than ever before, delivering incredible performance and leading technologies, with unbelievable efficiency in an astoundingly small form factor that puts it in a class all of its own."
The R9 Nano (reviewed here) had been the most interesting GPU released in 2015 to the team at PC Perspective. It was a compelling product for its tiny size, great performance, and high power efficiency, but the dialogue here probably mirrored that of a lot of potential buyers; for the price of a Fury X, did it make sense to buy the Nano? It was all going to depend on need, but very few enclosures on the market do not support a full-length GPU, as we discovered when testing out small R9 Nano builds.
Now that the price will move down $150 it becomes an easier choice: $499 will buy you a full R9 Fury X core for $150 less. The performance of a Fury X is only a few percentage points higher than the slighly lower-clocked Nano, so you're now getting most of the way there for much less. We have seen some R9 Fury X cards selling for $599, but even at $100 more would you buy the Fury X over a Nano? If nothing else the lower price makes the conversation a lot more interesting.
Far Cry Primal System Requirements Slightly Lower than 4?
Subject: Graphics Cards, Processors | January 9, 2016 - 07:00 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: ubisoft, quad-core, pc gaming, far cry primal, dual-core
If you remember back when Far Cry 4 launched, it required a quad-core processor. It would block your attempts to launch the game unless it detected four CPU threads, either native quad-core or dual-core with two SMT threads per core. This has naturally been hacked around by the PC gaming community, but it is not supported by Ubisoft. It's also, apparently, a bad experience.
The follow-up, Far Cry Primal, will be released in late February. Oddly enough, it has similar, but maybe slightly lower, system requirements. I'll list them, and highlight the differences.
- 64-bit Windows 7, 8.1, or 10 (basically unchanged from 4)
- Intel Core i3-550 (down from i5-750)
- or AMD Phenom II X4 955 (unchanged from 4)
- 4GB RAM (unchanged from 4)
- 1GB NVIDIA GTX 460 (unchanged from 4)
- or 1GB AMD Radeon HD 5770 (down from HD 5850)
- 20GB HDD Space (down from 30GB)
- Intel Core i7-2600K (up from i5-2400S)
- or AMD FX-8350 (unchanged from 4)
- 8GB of RAM (unchanged from 4)
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 (up from GTX 680)
- or AMD Radeon R9 280X (down from R9 290X)
While the CPU is interesting, the opposing directions of the recommended GPU is fascinating. Either the parts are within Ubisoft's QA margin of error, or they increased the GPU load, but were able to optimize AMD better than Far Cry 4, which was a net gain in performance (and explains the slight bump in CPU power required to feed the extra content). Of course, either way is just a guess.
Back on the CPU topic though, I would be interested to see the performance of Pentium Anniversary Edition parts. I wonder whether they removed the two-thread lock, and, especially if hacks are still required, whether it is playable anyway.
That is, in a month and a half.
CES 2016: AMD Shows Polaris Architecture and HDMI FreeSync Displays
Subject: Graphics Cards, Displays | January 8, 2016 - 02:56 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: video, Polaris, hdmi, freesync, CES 2016, CES, amd
At its suite at CES this year, AMD was showing off a couple of new technologies. First, we got to see the upcoming Polaris GPU architecture in action running Star Wars Battlefront with some power meters hooked up. This is a similar demo to what I saw in Sonoma back in December, and it compares an upcoming Polaris GPU against the NVIDIA GTX 950. The result: total system power of just 86 watts on the AMD GPU and over 150 watts on the NVIDIA GPU.
Another new development from AMD on the FreeSync side of things was HDMI integration. The company took time at CES to showcase a pair of new HDMI-enabled monitors working with FreeSync variable refresh rate technology.

Intel Pushes Device IDs of Kaby Lake GPUs
Subject: Graphics Cards, Processors | January 8, 2016 - 02:38 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Intel, kaby lake, linux, mesa
Quick post about something that came to light over at Phoronix. Someone noticed that Intel published a handful of PCI device IDs for graphics processors to Mesa and libdrm. It will take a few months for graphics drivers to catch up, although this suggests that Kaby Lake will be releasing relatively soon.
It also gives us hints about what Kaby Lake will be. Of the published batch, there will be six tiers of performance: GT1 has five IDs, GT1.5 has three IDs, GT2 has six IDs, GT2F has one ID, GT3 has three IDs, and GT4 has four IDs. Adding them up, we see that Intel plans 22 GPU devices. The Phoronix post lists what those device IDs are, but that is probably not interesting for our readers. Whether some of those devices overlap in performance or numbering is unclear, but it would make sense given how few SKUs Intel usually provides. I have zero experience in GPU driver development.
AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.1 Hotfix arrives
Subject: Graphics Cards | January 7, 2016 - 06:55 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: crimson, amd
That's right ladies and germs, not even a full week into 2016 and AMD has a new driver for you, or at least a hotfix version of Crimson 16.1. If you are playing Elite:Dangerous, Fallout 4 or Just Cause 3 there are a number of fixes to known issues from the original 12.1 which will make it worth picking up as soon as you can. So far in testing, game profiles do seem to last through an update so if you did take advantage of the game specific overclocking settings you should not lose all your hard work.
They have also included fixes specific to VSR, odd HDMI setups and flickering in Freesync displays. As always there are a few bugs still to be ironed out, which is why you should fill in the bug reporting tool at the bottom of the driver page instead of just throwing things at random passersby ... as fun and entertaining as that may be.
At just over $200, can the XFX R9 380X Double Dissipation XXX OC 4GB unseat a GTX 960?
Subject: Graphics Cards | January 7, 2016 - 02:36 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: XFX R9 380X Double Dissipation XXX OC 4GB, xfx, amd, 380x
Take a quick break from reading about the soon to be released technology at CES for a look at a GPU you can buy right now. The XFX DD XXX series has been around for a few generations and the XFX R9 380X Double Dissipation XXX OC 4GB sports the same custom DD cooler you would expect. The factory overclock is quite modest, 20MHz on the GPU taking it to 990MHz and retaining the default 5.7GHz memory clock. Of course [H]ard|OCP were not going to leave that as is, they hit a 1040MHz core and 6.1GHz memory clock thanks to the custom cooling on the card, although with no way to adjust voltage they felt this card could be capable of more if that feature was added to the card. Read on to see how this card compares against the ASUS STRIX GTX 960 DCU II OC in this ~$220 GPU showdown.
"On our test bench today is the XFX R9 380X Double Dissipation XXX OC 4GB video card. It features the latest Ghost Thermal 3.0 cooling technology from XFX and a factory overclock. We will compare it to the ASUS STRIX GTX 960 DCU II OC 4GB in a battle of the $229 price point video cards to determine the better overall value."

CES 2016: Rise of the Tomb Raider NVIDIA Bundle
Subject: Graphics Cards, Shows and Expos | January 7, 2016 - 02:03 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: square enix, nvidia, CES 2016, CES
NVIDIA has just announced a new game bundle. If you purchase an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, GTX 980 desktop or mobile, GTX 980 Ti, GTX 980M, or GTX 970M, then you will receive a free copy of Rise of the Tomb Raider. As always, make sure the retailer is selling the participating card. If the product has a download code, it will be specially marked. NVIDIA will not upgrade non-participating stock to the bundle.
Rise of the Tomb Raider will go live on January 29th. It was originally released in November as an Xbox One timed exclusive. It will also arrive on the PlayStation 4, but not until "holiday," which is probably around Q4 (or maybe late Q3).
If you purchase the bundle, then you graphics card will obviously be powerful enough to run the game. At a minimum, you will require a GeForce GTX 650 (2GB) or an AMD HD 7770 (2GB). The CPU needs are light too, requiring just a Sandy Bridge Core i3 (Intel Core i3-2100) or AMD's equivalent. Probably the only concern would be the minimum of 6GB system RAM, which also requires a 64-bit operating system. Now that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have been deprecated, 32-bit gaming will be increasingly rare for "AAA" titles. That said, we've been ramping up to 64-bit for the last decade. one of the first games that supported x86-64 was Unreal Tournament 2004.
The Rise of the Tomb Raider NVIDIA bundle starts today.

CES 2016: NVIDIA talks SHIELD Updates and VR-Ready Systems
Subject: Graphics Cards, Shows and Expos | January 5, 2016 - 09:39 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: vr ready, VR, virtual reality, video, Oculus, nvidia, htc, geforce, CES 2016, CES
Other than the in-depth discussion from NVIDIA on the Drive PX 2 and its push into autonomous driving, NVIDIA didn't have much other news to report. We stopped by the suite and got a few updates on SHIELD and the company's VR Ready program to certify systems that meet minimum recommended specifications for a solid VR experience.
For the SHIELD, NVIDIA is bringing Android 6.0 Marshmallow to the device, with new features like shared storage and the ability to customize the home screen of the Android TV interface. Nothing earth shattering and all of it is part of the 6.0 rollout.
The VR Ready program from NVIDIA will validate notebooks, systems and graphics cards that have the amount of horsepower to meet the minimum performance levels for a good VR experience. At this point, the specs essentially match up with what Oculus has put forth: a GTX 970 or better on the desktop and a GTX 980 (full, not 980M) on mobile.
Other than that, Ken and I took in some of the more recent VR demos including Epic's Bullet Train on the final Oculus Rift and Google's Tilt Brush on the latest iteration of the HTC Vive. Those were both incredibly impressive though the Everest demo that simulates a portion of the mountain climb was the one that really made me feel like I was somewhere else.

CES 2016: ASUS Announces XG Station 2 External Graphics
Subject: Graphics Cards, Mobile, Shows and Expos | January 5, 2016 - 04:47 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: external graphics, CES 2016, CES, asus
While external graphics has been a thing for quite some time, it was rarely an available thing. Several companies, such as AMD, Lucid, and others, announced products that were never sold. ASUS had their XG Station for Windows Vista that allowed laptops to plug into a GeForce 8600 GT, which was only available in Australia. Only now are we beginning to see options from Alienware, MSI, and even Microsoft that are widely available.
ASUS is jumping back in, too. Not much is known about the XG Station 2, except that it is "specially designed for ASUS laptops and graphics cards." This sounds like it is using a proprietary connector, similar to Alienware and MSI, to connect to ASUS laptops. Also saying it's specifically for ASUS graphics cards is a bit confusing, though. If it is an open PCIe slot, I'm not sure why or how it would be limited to ASUS cards. If the graphics cards are pre-installed, then we don't know the list of potential GPUs.
Either way, ASUS states that the dock can be disconnected without shutting down the PC. I'm interested to see how the GPU is supposed to be unplugged, as Alienware's option can only be done when the system is off, and Microsoft's Surface Book has a software detach with a hardware latch. The connector will also charge the laptop, which is an interesting add-in.
Pricing and availability varies, like the other ASUS announcements, by region.

Hey guys,
I am trying to show posts under a certain category AND tag. I have custom permalinks setup and I am setting the links like this..
This just brings me to index.. it is supposed to catch it in archive.php right?
If I just set the category or tag by itself then archive.php catches it, but not when they are together. Is there way to work around this?
I think it is possible to hack the URL apart within archive.php to get what I want but was just wondering if there is an easier way.

The Day Christ Cleared the Lights for Me.
By Rev. Robert A.Crutchfield, Founder & Editor FaithInsipres.Org
In many cities modern traffic lights have what is called preemption equipment installed. Fire Engines, Police Cars, Ambulances etc. have transmitters on them that trip this equipment. The point is to turn all the lights green for the first responders so they can get where they need to be as quickly and as safely as possible. They " Clear the lights." The obstacles presented by traffic and red lights are kept from their path.
On Tuesday, July 12th 2016 I had an experience that showed me all too clearly that my savior Jesus Christ is like having my own set of preemption equipment. I had a heart attack. Shortly after waking up, I felt pain in my chest. I had suffered indigestion, bronchitis etc. so it wasn't the first time my chest had bothered me. But Jesus spoke to me and made me understand this time it was different. From this point on many things could have gone wrong,many obstacles could have gotten in my way.
The type of heart attack I had kills one in four people in minutes. If I had blown it off as some weird case of indigestion, or waited to "see how it goes," I would be dead now. But I didn't, Christ Cleared the Lights ! I might not have had the presence of mind to call 911. Christ Cleared the Lights ! The ambulances could have been on other calls,but they weren't. Christ Cleared the Lights ! The Hospital ER bays could have been full, the Cath Lab could have been busy, The doctors and nurses already tending to some other urgent case. Obstacle after obstacle between me and what I needed fell away. Christ Cleared the Lights ! Like the first responders and their preemption equipment, I was sped along. Christ cleared all the lights !
Many would say that it was just a string of happy coincidences. Others that it always happens so well. Sadly for others it doesn't always turn out so well, and that's an awful lot of coincidences. Some would think because I give Jesus Christ so much credit I must be ungrateful to the doctors, nurses, medics, clergy, and family members who united around me to make sure I was so well cared for. Nothing could be more ridiculous ! I have thanked God for each one of them many times in my prayers over the past week, and I do so again here, now. However I am left with the sense that Jesus Christ is the one who made sure they were all where I needed them when I needed them. And it was he who Cleared the Lights to get us all where we needed to be.
Chances are you are not having a heart attack so what does this mean to you ? Easy, we are all facing challenges in our lives. We all have obstacles between us and where we need to be. More importantly as Christians, we all if we choose to call on him have our own sort of "preemption equipment" to move the obstacles of this world aside. We have a comforter, and healer when we need one. Like 911 that Tuesday,he's waiting on us to call to spring into action. He is Jesus Christ ! He is waiting to Clear the Lights for you just like he did for me !
Katy Pastor Reacts to This Week's Tragedies
The following Commentary on this week's tragedies is authored by Pastor Jeremiah Hill. Hill is pastor of Journey Church here in Katy. He, his family, and church have been loyal supporters of this ministry for some time. His remarks, are published here with his permission.
By Jeremiah Hill, Pastor Journey Church Katy, Texas USA
This week our country has been gripped by several unnecessary, and unacceptable tragedies. It should go without saying that we should always be moved to finding positive solutions for problems… but it seems with each passing major incident our countries resolve is paralyzed. I have watched this week as the events have broken relationships and created wedges between friends, families and sadly even churches.
I have been blessed since becoming Pastor of Journey Church to see our congregation grow multicultural, as well as our staff and leadership teams. Black, Hispanic and white all united for one goal… to be the body of Christ… and to show the world what the body of Christ should look like. So it should go without saying that we love everyone at Journey Church.
As I thought more about the recent events the following came to mind:
When God formed the first man, Adam, I have this picture of God kneeling over the dirt that He just created. And as He knelt, he pressed His hands into the dirt and began to form Adam… and He said that He created Adam in His image and that it was good. In Psalm's it tell us that God formed all of us in our mother's wombs, down to knitting our inner parts together. That means the same hands of God that reached into the ground to form Adam… are the same hands that made each and every one of us.
What we see on display today is NOT God's image.
Abuse of power is not the character of God.
Rejection of authority is not the character of God.
Hatred is not the character of God.
Racism is not the character of God.
From the moment Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the garden… sin came rushing onto this earth. And it's one job was to take captive every person that is not willing to take the very thought of sin captive. Every single one of those characteristics I just mentioned are a direct reflection of our sin nature… the very nature that is a polar opposite of the very image God created us in.
We pray for peace on this earth. We pray for wars to end. We pray for racism to end. But peace will NEVER happen in our lives, when sin is the ruler. And in this world, it is much of the same. What we have witnessed displayed over the course of this week is a reflection of the display of sin on this earth that has been building for 1000's of years.
This display of sin comes in many forms. But as of late the primary display has been a hatred in our hearts for our neighbors… and we have used things like race, sex, gender and class to promote further hatred.
Scriptures are also clear, you can not love God who you have not seen… and hate your brother who you can see. We have departed from the very basic of moral standard that God laid out… "love your neighbor as yourself."
There is no greater commandment than that!
We were all formed in Gods image… and if you chose to follow Him, obey His Word and keep His standards… you will remain in His image. But to remain in His image… takes work. Scriptures say that we are to work out our salvation with "fear and trembling." That means on a daily basis. The last time hatred or disgust rose up in your heart for another person, did it make you tremble in fear… because you had departed from God's standard?
We need to take a step back and realize that what we see on display today is a direct form of Godlessness. Scriptures are clear in the end days there will be more of this. But if we truly want peace… it begins with us turning back to the very one…God… who created us.
Every person who will read this post has at least one thing in their life right now, big or small, that is in direct conflict what who God created you to be. Turn back to God and to His standard… and watch how quickly grace can cover a multitude of sins.
The Four Spheres of Overcoming
By Rev. Robert A. Crutchfield, Founder FaithInspires.Org
In this world there will always be challenges in life. We are after-all imperfect people living in a fallen world. " For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23. Since none of us are perfect our lives cannot be perfect, things happen. When things happen even though they may be unintentional we end up with consequences to deal with. We are also affected by the consequences of the people around us. It is here that our ability to overcome the consequences of this world is called upon.
It has been my observation over the years that our internal infrastructure which allows us to overcome the challenges of this world can be separated into four categories. I call these the Four Spheres of Overcoming. They are not distinct, and quite often overlap. They are Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual. I often use grief as an example of how these spheres work because, grief is such a profound challenge that it often involves all four spheres. The same dynamic however can be seen in how we confront a wide range of challenges.
Let's look at each one more closely,
- Physical – Our bodies have their limits. Even though we can train to expand and extend those limits, there will always be boundaries to what our physical bodies will allow us to do. Adrenaline among other chemicals within our design can also expand our physical abilities beyond their normal state for a short period of time.
- Mental- This sphere is defined by both the physical structure of the brain, and by our accumulated knowledge. Studies have even shown that as we accumulate knowledge, the structure of the brain changes over time. Certain mental illnesses (depression for example) can also alter the physical structure of the brain. Depression in many cases can even be seen on a PET scan. So its not just "all in your head." We can also read, take classes etc. to expand our knowledge. Including how to handle whatever challenges we face in our lives. The mental sphere can have great affect of the physical. World class athletes, and soldiers both talk of "mental toughness." They literally train themselves to use their minds to expand their physical abilities. People of faith have been known to use their faith in much the same way. I remember years ago, I was a volunteer at the U.S. Gymnastic Championships. I got to see some of the world's best athletes up close. Even now I am in awe of their mental focus. The way they can control their thoughts, and use their thoughts to control their bodies is beyond amazing !
- Emotional – Anger, sadness,and other emotions are most often normal reactions to abnormal external stimuli. Some emotions, anger for instance will even affect the physical sphere. Anger can cause an increase in in heart rate and Adrenaline levels as part of the fight or flight response. Of course we have to exercise caution when our emotions rise to the point that out body launches a physical response. Inappropriate or even dangerous behavior can result when such natural responses are left to run their own course.
- Spiritual- Particularly as Christians we take great comfort from our faith. Obviously as a minister I spend the most time working within this sphere. Verses such as John 16:33, "I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world." Can offer much strength when challenges arrive in our lives. The fellowship we share as Christians can also serve as a readily available support network It can also serve to strengthen and enlarge any support network you may have. Support networks can be vital to dealing with some challenges. Support networks can also vary according to the need at hand, so having the largest possible pool of people to draw from can be helpful.
These four spheres are my attempt to outline the internal resources we have when we face challenges, and how our body uses them. Obviously there are other factors that can come into play, the reaction of others for instance. Hopefully what it said here has given you a start. I invite you to consult your pastor, doctor, or other adviser to continue your journey to facing life's challenges in a more productive way.
State Of Iowa Claims It Can Tell Churches What They Can Teach On Matters Of Sexuality
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, July 5, 2016 — Today, First Liberty Institute sent a demand letter to the Iowa Civil Rights Commission (CRC), asking them to retract earlier statements claiming it has the authority to interfere with churches' doctrine and operation. The letter was sent on behalf of Cornerstone World Outreach Church and is the first time a church has taken this type of legal action against the government over a sexual orientation and gender identity law. Read the demand letter
The Iowa CRC published a brochure called "Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity – A Public Accommodations Provider's Guide to Iowa Law." (Read the brochure) In the brochure, they state that churches are considered places of public accommodation and as such, they generally may not be exempted from the state's sexual orientation and gender identity law.
"This is a clear case of the state violating the sanctity of the church. It should send chills down the spine of every congregation in Iowa," Chelsey Youman, Chief of Staff & Counsel for First Liberty Institute, says. "The State of Iowa claims it has the power to regulate what churches can teach about human sexuality and how they operate their facilities. The government has absolutely no authority to force a church to violate its religious beliefs. This is a massive violation of the First Amendment." Rev. Robert A. Crutchfield, veteran Republican activist, and founder of FaithInspires.Org added " The moment any part of government is allowed to dictate what our churches teach, at that moment the First Amendment is extinguished !"
First Liberty Institute sent the demand letter to the CRC on behalf of Cornerstone World Outreach, a non-denominational, Bible-based church that teaches traditional, scriptural beliefs about marriage, sexual morality, and gender roles in the church.
"I am a father of five, and I am deeply concerned that the State of Iowa would try to tell us, as a church, what we can teach about matters of sexuality and how we are allowed to ensure the safety and privacy of our children," Cary Gordon, Senior Pastor of Cornerstone World Outreach for over 21 years, says. "All we want is to be left alone to teach the Word of God and minister to our community in peace."
First Liberty attorneys asked the CRC to grant Cornerstone an exemption and promise not to enforce the law against the church by August 4. If not, the attorneys say they are prepared to pursue "all available legal options." PRNEWSWIRE contributed to this story.
Supreme Court Sends 'Ominous' Religious Freedom Signal, NRB Says
WASHINGTON (NRB) – National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) is deeply disappointed by the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on Tuesday not to grant a hearing to Stormans v. Wiesman, a case challenging pharmacy rules tailored by the state of Washington to discriminate against those with religious objections to abortion. NRB agrees with dissenting Justice Samuel Alito that "this case is an ominous sign."
"This week the same five Supreme Court justices who yesterday rejected Texas' common-sense health and safety regulations on abortion providers and one year ago used legal gymnastics to impose a radical understanding of marriage on the nation again show they are willing to bend or ignore the U.S. Constitution to appease liberal elites," stated Dr. Jerry A. Johnson, President & CEO of NRB. "In this case, these justices seem not to think worthy of a hearing a well-grounded case based on the Bill of Rights' guarantee of the freedom to believe and live in accordance with deeply held religious beliefs. Justice Alito is right — the apparent takeaway here is that 'those who value religious freedom have cause for great concern.'"
In this case, Ralph's Thriftway, a family-owned business, sought relief from a Washington state regulation that outlawed conscience-motivated referrals from one pharmacy to another for the dispensation of an abortifacient known as the "Morning After Pill." This rule, strong-armed into effect in 2007 by then-Governor Christine Gregoire (D) with the help of Planned Parenthood, was also opposed by the American Pharmacists Association among other pharmacy groups. Notably, the state allows referrals for numerous other business and convenience reasons.
The pharmacists were victorious in the U.S. District Court on grounds that the rule violated the Free Exercise clause of the First Amendment. However, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision in favor of the state.
Among notable quotes from Justice Alito's dissent, in which he was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Clarence Thomas:
"There are strong reasons to doubt whether the regulations were adopted for—or that they actually serve—any legitimate purpose. And there is much evidence that the impetus for the adoption of the regulations was hostility to pharmacists whose religious beliefs regarding abortion and contraception are out of step with prevailing opinion in the State."
"The dilemma this creates for the Stormans family and others like them is plain: Violate your sincerely held religious beliefs or get out of the pharmacy business."
"The bottom line is clear: Washington would rather have no pharmacy than one that doesn't toe the line on abortifacient emergency contraceptives. Particularly given the State's stipulation that 'facilitated referrals do not pose a threat to timely access' to such drugs, … it is hard not to view its actions as exhibiting hostility toward religious objections."
Notably, attorneys for NRB member Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) were lead counsel for the pharmacists in this case.

CMA Doctors Lament Supreme Court Decision Upending Women's Health Protections in Abortion Clinics as Ensuring 'Back-alley Abortions'
WASHINGTON, June 27, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ — The 17,000-member Christian Medical Association (CMA, www.cmda.org) today lamented the Supreme Court's 5-3 decision to overturn a lower court ruling that upheld a Texas law protecting the health of women in abortion clinics.
CMA CEO Dr. David Stevens declared in a statement, "Given the shocking revelations of abysmal health and safety deficiencies in abortion clinics around the country, the Court's disallowance of health and safety requirements just protects what amount to back-alley abortions.
"Texas had the courage to require medically appropriate measures to protect women in abortion clinics, where state investigations had uncovered gross negligence and health hazards. The Supreme Court today upended those reasonable, medically necessary safety and health protections in favor of abortion ideology.
"We hear over and over the abortion mantra, 'safe, legal and rare.' But with over a million abortions a year and courts preventing even modest health and safety regulations, abortion is only legal-not at all safe or rare."
An amicus brief filed in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt for CMA by Alliance Defending Freedom highlighted the state's interest in protecting women's health by passing reasonable protections that rationally relate to health risks: "Texas' law appropriately expresses Texas's constitutional interest in safeguarding women's health and maintaining medical standards. The Ambulatory surgical center requirements rationally relate to Texas's legitimate interest in upholding consistent standards for outpatient abortion providers. The admitting privileges requirement rationally relates to Texas's legitimate interest in regulating outpatient abortion."
CMA Executive Vice President Dr. Gene Rudd, an obstetrician-gynecologist, added, "Surgical and drug-induced abortion carry significant risks to the mother that require timely care and continuity of care. The way to ensure adequate care when abortion complications occur is to require that the physician who performed the procedure that resulted in the complication be able to assure rapid treatment of the patient. That needs to be done in a medical facility properly equipped to care for these types of surgical emergencies."
As CMA's brief noted, "That is exactly why ambulatory surgical facilities require admitting privileges for physicians performing surgery comparable to elective abortion, and exactly why Texas needs this law to ensure the health and safety of women undergoing both medical and surgical abortion."
AJC: Presbyterian Church Continues to Demonize Israel
PORTLAND, Ore., June 25, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — AJC deplored the adoption by the Presbyterian Church (USA) of a report that lays the foundation for the denomination to repudiate the vision of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Commissioners endorsed "Israel-Palestine: For Human Values in the Absence of a Just Peace" by a vote of 429 to 129. The report was approved despite efforts to send it back to the committee that wrote it for a full and fair examination of the current situation and the role that all parties need to play in reconciliation and peace.
"For those who seek an enduring Israeli-Palestinian peace it is deeply disappointing that a major Protestant denomination in the U.S. with deep roots in the Middle East has chosen to be a cheerleader for those whose vision of peace does not include the State of Israel," said Emily Soloff, AJC Associate Director of Interreligious and Intergroup Relations, who attended the PCUSA General Assembly in Portland, Oregon. "Sadly, efforts to moderate the Presbyterian trajectory toward rejection of peace were derailed."
The report is filled with inaccuracies, innuendos and unsubstantiated claims. It perniciously leads readers to the conclusion that the goal of two states is unattainable and that Israel is solely responsible.
In 2014, the PCUSA GA called for a review of the Church's support for two states for Israelis and Palestinians, but Church representatives chose instead to use that review process to create yet another one-sided document that condemns Israel.
As it did in 2010 with its notoriously biased Middle East Study Commission Report, the Church chose to follow those who prefer rejection over reconciliation and punitive language over peaceful pursuit.

Internationally Known Christian Blogger and Writer Reacts to Orlando Nightclub Attack.
(Katy,Texas) Rev. Robert A. Crutchfield, founder of FaithInspires.Org a Christian blog read in 195 countries issued the following statement about the horrific attack last night on the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando.
" Last night as most of us were sleeping in beds, first repsonders were already combing through what we now know to be the worst attack on U.S. Soil since 911 ! At this moment 50 people are known dead, and nearly as many more wounded. The carnage in its wake is worse than the Sandy Hook or Virginia Tech massacres. We do not yet know the motivations behind the attack . We do know that Omar Mateen a 29 year old Islamic American is believed to be behind the attack. We do know that he was not in imminent danger, and was therefore not defending himself. From that we know that his actions can not be defended on any level.
The nature and scope of this tragedy should and shall launch us as Christians into compassion. We take to God's throne the sorrows and needs of those who have been impacted by this cowardly act. We send out our prayers for the comfort and strength of the families of those who were lost. We include also in our prayers the people of Orlando, of Florida, and of this great nation. God Bless America !"
Rev. Robert A. Crutchfield is a Katy, Texas based minister. He is the founder and editor of FaithInspires.Org, which was read in 195 countries around the world in 2015. Crutchfield and his work have been seen in Google News, SelfGrowth.com, ChristianHeadlines.com and others.
Pat Boone on Youtube Discussing Ark of Noah Travels to Brazil and USA
PASADENA, Calif., June 8, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ — Legendary American singer, composer and actor Pat Boone recently endorsed The Ark of Noah Foundation (www.youtube.com/watch?v=EexrhRLKkZs) encouraging viewers to join him in supporting the life-size Ark of Noah replica, which is preparing to take sail across the Atlantic. The 2,500-ton ark is larger than a football field and stands 410 feet long, 95 feet wide, and 75 feet tall. It can carry more than 5,000 people at a time.
"My friends at the Ark of Noah Foundation plan to bring a life-size Biblical replica of Noah's Ark from the Netherlands to the 2016 Paralympics in Brazil," said Boone. "From there, it will go through South America, Central America and then the United States."
Transportation of the Ark of Noah from The Netherlands to Brazil, is 5,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean, will be a massive undertaking that will be streamed live on the Internet. According to Boone, the vessel will be docked in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and will bring real hope to a country and world in need.
"The proceeds from the Ark will be used to build Hope Centers in the underprivileged areas of Brazil," said Boone. "These hope centers will provide food, education, as well as the Gospel for the unreachable children and families."
Boone ended the video encouraging viewers to go to www.donate.arkofnoah.org and join him in supporting the Ark of Noah Foundation.
The profit foundation is a 501c3 charity based out of Pasadena, CA and is raising money to fund the trip, which will eventually end in the United States.
The Ark has been getting worldwide attention as it prepares to take sail. Dutch carpenter Johan Huibers built the Ark of Noah four years ago as a religious attraction and now has partnered with The Ark of Noah Foundation, www.ArkofNoah.org.
Hundreds of thousands have already visited the Ark of Noah in The Netherlands to see the Biblical reconstruction and hear the story of Noah and the great flood. To be in line with the Biblical story, the ark includes artificial replicas of animals paired two-by-two as described in Genesis.

Expos 8, Royals 0, 1st game; Expos 7, Royals 2, 2nd game
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—Losing Tomo Okha to a painful broken arm made it difficult for the Montreal Expos to celebrate their first doubleheader sweep in more than a year.
Tony Batista homered twice and Sun-Woo Kim pitched 4 1-3 perfect innings in relief of Ohka, leading the Expos to a 7-2 victory in the nightcap Thursday. In the opener, Zach Day pitched a six-hitter for his second career shutout and the Expos got 16 hits in an 8-0 win.
Montreal pitchers issued only one walk in 18 innings while gaining their first doubleheader sweep in more than a year.
"Losing Tomo like that sort of takes a lot of the happiness away," said left fielder Brad Wilkerson, who homered and drove in three runs in the opener.
Ohka, who had not lost in six starts since April 29, was hit in the forearm by Carlos Beltran's line drive in the third inning and taken away in obvious pain. After the game, team physician Dr. Bruce Thomas said he had sustained a fracture of the radius bone at the bottom of the forearm just above the wrist of his pitching hand.
"He was in a lot of pain when he came off and he handled it well," Thomas said.
Doctors were putting the arm in a splint and the Expos planned to take Okha with them to Seattle, where they begin a three-game series on Friday.
"Hopefully, we'll be able to bring him with us and watch him through the weekend and get him to our hand specialist," Thomas said.
Surgery, which seemed likely, would put him out at least three months, Thomas said.
In the meantime, Angel Berroa's home run off Luis Ayala in the eighth inning of the nightcap insured that the Royals would not be shut out at home in both ends of a doubleheader for the first time in team history.
It was the first doubleheader sweep by the Expos since beating Cincinnati twice on April 19, 2003 in Puerto Rico.
Losing two to the team with the worst record in major league baseball was obviously dispiriting to the Royals.
"This is the worst two games I've ever been a part of in baseball history, in my baseball history," Royals first baseman Ken Harvey said.
"I don't know. I don't know how to explain it. They're just the worst two games I've ever been a part of."
Batista homered off Jimmy Gobble (3-4) leading off the second inning of the second game and added a two-run shot in the sixth for his 12th career multihomer game. Endy Chavez had a sacrifice fly in the third inning and Jose Vidro an RBI single in the seventh ahead of Batista's seventh home run.
Brian Schneider's two-run double off Jason Grimsley made it 7-1 in the ninth.
Gobble went 7 1-3 innings, giving up six hits and five runs.
Day, whose only other shutout was May 1, 2003, at Milwaukee, got 16 groundouts after the opener—a makeup of a rainout on Thursday—was delayed nearly two hours at the start by rain.
"You always worry in a doubleheader because it's very difficult to keep players up for two games, especially with the rain delay," Montreal manager Frank Robinson said. "It was very gratifying to see them jump out early like that."
Robinson was also gratified to see his pitchers allow only one walk in two games.
"That's darn good pitching. I mean that sincerely," he said. "That's how you hold a team down when you don't give them those free baserunners and make them earn what they get."
Wilkerson homered and drove in three runs in the opener for the Expos.
Jamey Carroll, getting a rare start at second base, scored three runs and had three of Montreal's 16 hits. Orlando Cabrera also had three hits.
Day (5-6) struck out four and walked none, the 10th time in 12 starts this season he's allowed three runs or fewer. He's thrown 13 straight scoreless innings.
Dennys Reyes (2-1) allowed 11 hits and five runs in 6 2-3 innings in the opener for the Royals.
"It was tough after waiting two hours. It seemed like everything I threw, they hit," Reyes said.
Batista made it 5-0 in the seventh with a sacrifice fly off Reyes. The Expos added three in the eighth on Wilkerson's leadoff homer off Nate Field, Vidro's RBI single and a throwing error by left fielder Byron Gettis.
Cabrera had an RBI single in the first, and Reyes walked Carroll with the bases loaded. Vidro's groundout made it 3-0 in the second, then Wilkerson hitan RBI single in the fifth.
The 16 hits in the opener were one shy of Montreal's season high. … Harvey went 0-for-4 in the opener in his first game since colliding with Grimsley on Sunday, ending his career-best 15-game hitting streak. But Harvey doubled off Ohka in the first inning of the nightcap. … The Expos have wonsix straight against left-handed starters.

Over the course of several decades after their introduction, power systems merged into large interconnected grids to introduce redundancy and to leverage on a wider pool of generation resources and reserves. As the system grew in size and complexity, a cyberphysical infrastructure was progressively developed to manage it. Traditionally, general-purpose computing and communication resources have been used in power systems, specifically to serve two needs: 1) that of monitoring the safe operation of the grid and logistics of power delivery, and 2) that of gathering information required to dispatch the generation optimally and, later on, to operate the energy market.

What does open source have to do with open data? This extremely insightful move by the SEC demonstrates that the syntax of open data is not enough to provide transparency. We also need an implementation of the semantics of that syntax, provided openly, freely and as the basis for reimplementation, so that we can understand what we are being shown.
