POSIX Thread Libraries
Recent years have seen an increase in the popularity of threads, because there are many applications in which threads are useful. In many aspects, threads operate in the same manner as processes, but can execute more efficiently. All modern operating systems today include some kind of support for thread management. Moreover, threads have been standardized by the IEEE Technical Committee on Operating Systems. This standard allows users to write portable multi-thread programs.
As with other operating systems, Linux includes multi-threading capability, and some multi-threading libraries are available for Linux. We will describe a comparative study of five threads packages for Linux: CLthreads, LinuxThreads, FSU Pthreads, PC threads and Provenzano Pthreads. All libraries evaluated make use of POSIX-compliant functionality. The main objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the performance of some multi-thread features to analyze the suitability of these libraries for use in multi-thread applications. Also, we make a comparison with Solaris threads.
A thread is an independent flow of control within a process. A traditional UNIX process has a single thread that has sole possession of the process' memory and other resources. Threads within the same process share global data (global variables, files, etc.), but each thread has its own stack, local variables and program counter. Threads are referred to as lightweight processes, because their context is smaller than the context of a process. This feature makes context switches between threads cheaper than context switches between traditional processes.
Threads are useful for improving application performance. A program with only one thread of control must wait each time it requests a service from the operating system. Using more than one thread lets a process overlap processing with one or more I/O requests (see Figure 1). In multiprocessor machines, multiple threads are an efficient way for application developers to utilize the parallelism of the hardware.
This feature is especially important for client/server applications. Server programs in client/server applications may get multiple requests from independent clients simultaneously. If the server has only one thread of control, client requests must be served in a serial fashion. Using multi-thread servers, when a client attempts to connect to the server, a new thread can be created to manage the request.
In general, multi-threading capabilities are of great benefit to certain classes of applications, typically server or parallel processing applications, allowing them to make significant performance gains on multiprocessor hardware, increase application throughput even on uniprocessor hardware, and make efficient use of system resources. Threads, however, are not appropriate for all programs. For example, an application that must accelerate a single compute-bound algorithm will not benefit from multi-threading when the program is executed on uniprocessor hardware.
There are two traditional models of thread control: user-level threads and kernel-level threads.
User-level thread packages usually run on top of an existing operating system. The threads within the process are invisible to the kernel. Threads are scheduled by a runtime system which is part of the process code. Switching between user-level threads can be done independently of the operating system. User-level threads, however, have a problem: when a thread becomes blocked while making a system call, all other threads within the process must wait until the system call returns. This restriction limits the ability to use the parallelism provided by multiprocessor platforms.
Kernel-level threads are supported by the kernel. The kernel is aware of each thread as a scheduled entity. In this case, a set of system calls similar to those for processes is provided, and the threads are scheduled by the kernel. Kernel threads can take advantage of multiple processors; however, switching among threads is more time-consuming because the kernel is involved.
There are also hybrid models, supporting user-level and kernel-level threads. This gives the advantages of both models to the running process. Solaris offers this kind of model.
Threads have been standardized by the IEEE Technical Committee on Operating Systems. The base for the POSIX standard (POSIX 1003.1), The Portable Operating Systems Interface, defines an application program interface which is derived from UNIX but may as well be provided by any other operating system. This standard includes a set of Thread Extensions (POSIX 1003.1c). These thread extensions provide the base standard with interfaces and functionality to support multiple flows of control within a process. The facilities provided represent a small set of syntactic and semantic extensions to POSIX 1003.1 in order to support a convenient interface for multi-threading functions.
The interfaces in this standard are specifically targeted at supporting tightly coupled multitasking environments, including multiprocessor systems and advanced language constructs. The specific functional areas covered by this standard and their scopes include:
Thread management: creation, control and termination of multiple flows of control in the same process under the assumption of a common shared address space.
Synchronization primitives: mutual exclusion and condition variables, optimized for tightly coupled operation of multiple control flows within a process.
Harmonization: with the existing POSIX 1003.1 interfaces.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Artificial reefs provide quality fishing
Published: Sunday, June 25, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 25, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
I had the distinct pleasure this week of heading down east to Wilmington to go offshore saltwater fishing with some good friends. The invitation came from my buddy Jeremy Thigpen of Raleigh. His brother Ron, who lives in Wilmington, just recently purchased a new 23-foot Sea Hunt center console boat and offered to take us out to do some king mackerel angling.
Some of North Carolina's artificial reef sites, AR's as they are often referenced, were our target destinations while searching for kings.
"We go out to the buoys just because you know there is structure down there," said angler Ron Thigpen.
Just as fresh water anglers look for a submerged tree stump in a stream or lake, saltwater anglers often seek locations that contain variation in depth and structure to find particular species of fish. These locations often attract baitfish which in turn attracts bigger fish that anglers enjoy catching.
"The (artificial reefs) are always holding bait, and you can usually find king mackerel or something holding on there that makes for an easy day," said Thigpen.
Although Thigpen, like many other anglers, has secret spots that are marked only on his personal maps, the well-known manmade reefs are often productive spots that anglers don't mind talking or sharing information about.
"Usually people are fishing on them, and they don't mind telling you over the radio if they are catching something there just because it's not a secret spot," he said.
North Carolina's artificial reefs began to be constructed back in the 1960's when fishing clubs would unofficially sink old cars and school buses to create structure to attract fish. As the years progressed, fishing clubs began to obtain permits to have the Corps of Engineers put materials overboard to create additional artificial reefs.
In 1984 the state became the holder of these permits through a unified process across the southeast, and the Division of Marine fisheries took over coordinating and maintaining North Carolina's manmade reefs.
"The state currently holds 40 ocean permitted reef sites, and we buoy 35 of them," said Jim Francesconi, Artificial Reef Coordinator for the Division of Marine Fisheries.
Over the years, a variety of environmentally safe materials have been reclaimed and used to construct the reefs. In the ultimate form of recycling, materials of opportunity such as concrete rubble, railroad box cards, and a variety of commercial fishing and military craft are cleaned thoroughly and then sunk to create artificial reefs. Typically the reefs are created in locations where there is no natural hard bottom surface to which sponges, coral, and a variety of other invertebrates can attach. Once the item is submerged, nature takes over as a multitude of living organisms eventually covers these man-made structures.
Francesconi and fellow workers at the Division of Marine Fisheries work with fishing clubs and artificial reef groups to obtain funding for maintaining and adding to existing reefs.
"We also spend a good bit of time maintaining the buoys on the sites. We also do research on types of most suitable materials, placement, and deployment methods and monitor the condition of materials that have been down for years," he said.
The reefs offer anglers a wide variety of good fishing locations along North Carolina's coastal waters.
"Most of the reef sites that are going to be good opportunities to do 85% of the fishing that the general public wants to do are within 10 miles," he said.
Our group of four anglers woke early on Tuesday morning, and we were on the water heading out of Masonboro Inlet around 5 a.m. We faced three to four foot seas, and chose to change our plans of a twenty-mile run by making short runs to several AR buoys.
With no luck at the first buoy, we reeled in the lines, punched in some GPS coordinates, and headed for the next buoy.
It wasn't long after the lines went in the water the second time that morning before we were hooked up with our first nice king mackerel of the day.
After fishing at several other AR buoys, our group called it a day. We managed to catch five and a half king mackerel (the "half" came courtesy of a four-foot Barracuda), several sharks, a stick (a non-native species to these areas), and even a persistent seagull that was determined to eat the cigar minnows we trolled for bait.
For more information, and the navigational coordinates of North Carolinas artificial reefs check out the Division of Marine Fisheries website at www.ncfisheries.net.
And that's my holler for this weekÉ

Re-Writing Freud
Simon Morris, artist, and Christine Morris, creative technologist, Re-Writing Freud, 2005; iPhone / iPad app edition, 2011.
The iPad app edition of Re-Writing Freud is currently on view at the Beinecke Library (ground floor, North side) in Psyche & Muse: Creative Entanglements with the Science of the Soul. Using your finger, you randomly re-write Sigmund Freud's famous book, The Interpretation of Dreams, allowing you to see his text in a dreamlike state.
In Re-Writing Freud, British artist Simon Morris collaborated with creative technologist Christine Morris to re-write The Interpretation of Dreams by feeding the text into a computer program designed to randomly select and re-order the words, thus recreating the book. The artists have remade this work as an iPhone/iPad application allowing an interactive reprocessing of Freud's 223,704-word text. This project, and two related book projects featured in Dr. Froyd: Psychoanalysis in the Popular Imagination located on the Library Mezzanine, use Sigmund Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams to explore the ability of art and text to "disrupt the existing order of things." For more information about this project, visit Christine Morris's description of the project: Re-Writing Freud.

This is like NORAD spotting Santa on Christmas Eve -- exciting!!!
What would be funny if the plane carried Al Gore or Hillary Clinton. Or Obama announces that John McCain has agreed to be his running mate.......
Was there a flight from New York to New Castle, DE, earlier in the day?
Jesus. If that campaign is stupid enough to pick a guy with fucking hair plugs to face the Republicans then there is no hope for any of us.
This actually makes me really excited! Truly.
I can't stop reading "Do We Have a Weiner"
Delaware is where a whole bunch of corporations are incorporated and those lofty executive types don't mingle with the coach rabble. Chicago is a big City. This traffic could be completely routine.
It looks like I'll lose all that money I bet on Biden for Secretary of State...oh well.
There was a flight by the same company this morning headed the other way.
I had no idea Delaware even had an airport. I thought Delawareans flew in and out of Philly or Baltimore.
Maybe it's Cindy McCain's plane?
Delaware is where corporations are sometimes "incorporated" and their process papers can be served. It isn't where the corporations base their executives......Not even close... Try again in guessing why this plane is leaving the big city of Chicago and going to Delaware.
This is pretty cool. Are records like this publicly available somewhere? How do we check them?
Or Biden could have been in D.C. and flown out of Dulles or Reagan.
Hey, it Obama's announcement. Just trying to keep the blogosphere from taking that away from him.
Jesus Christ, guys, this is some serious Net Force-style shit. I don't know if I should be impressed or horrified. Maybe both.

I want to generate the shortest distance to coastlines from interested points worldwide. My question is given existing world map polygon file, what the standard way to create coastlines is. Thanks very much!
You could dissolve all polygons together to create one big landmass. Then, convert to polylines using the Feature to Line tool. Note, Feature to Line requires an ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced license. However, there are other tools out there that will convert polygons to polylines.
XTools, for example.

Skip to comments.Howell Raines: Why Don't Honest Journalists Take on Roger Ailes and Fox News?
Posted on 03/11/2010 5:34:32 PM PST by kristinn
One question has tugged at my professional conscience throughout the year-long congressional debate over health-care reform, and it has nothing to do with the public option, portability or medical malpractice. It is this: Why haven't America's old-school news organizations blown the whistle on Roger Ailes, chief of Fox News, for using the network to conduct a propaganda campaign against the Obama administration -- a campaign without precedent in our modern political history?
Through clever use of the Fox News Channel and its cadre of raucous commentators, Ailes has overturned standards of fairness and objectivity that have guided American print and broadcast journalists since World War II. Yet, many members of my profession seem to stand by in silence as Ailes tears up the rulebook that served this country well as we covered the major stories of the past three generations, from the civil rights revolution to Watergate to the Wall Street scandals. This is not a liberal-versus-conservative issue. It is a matter of Fox turning reality on its head with, among other tactics, its endless repetition of its uber-lie: "The American people do not want health-care reform."
My great fear, however, is that some journalists of my generation who once prided themselves on blowing whistles and afflicting the comfortable have also been intimidated by Fox's financial power and expanding audience, as well as Ailes's proven willingness to dismantle the reputation of anyone who crosses him.
As for Fox News, lots of people who know better are keeping quiet about what to call it. Its news operation can, in fact, be called many things, but reporters of my generation, with memories and keyboards, dare not call it journalism.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
LOL. What was the NY Times? Nevermind.
Because all of the HONEST ones work for Ailes and FOX News?
Oh brother. The POT is calling the KETTLE black. The Washington Post is so slanted they are falling over from the distortions of the truth.
Is this The Onion or Scott Ott?
Hey, is this satire?
The New York Times? Uuuummmm, I think that's the broadsheet that had a Sunday Crossword I could never do.
Because they can't...they've been bending the news for generations and Fox is simply balance against their big government bias.
"Why, oh, why, am I the only honest journalist in the country? I hate you all!"
Kristinn....I couldn't get past that 1st paragraph. Recently have upped my Cozaar to 100mg.
It gave me palpitations! LOL!
I will not give Obama the satisfaction of knowing he 'killed' me. ;^)
Have you never heard of a thing called the truth?
Has this asshat watched MSNBC lately. Talk about a propaganda machine. Yes Fox has Beck. But, Beck does NOT cross out most of what is on MSNBC. How about the WAPO and their bias. This guy is not being truthful just another hack.
Geeze.As my Dad used to say "I wonder how much he'd charge to haunt a house?"
Someone needs to put these nazis down.
The campaign against Obama, if any, is on principle. You know, that rare mythical substance most journalists have never seen.
Do the mods know you are making up stuff and attributing it to the New York Times?. That's just wrong.
where was this 'journalist' when ABC turned its network over to Obama to use as his mouthpiece? He thinks Fox lies about health reform? Just to be fair and balanced here, are his own preferred news outlets lying when they say bho is not a socialist? I don't think he wants to go there.
The question answers itself.
Raines you commie, pinko, slut.....
From the notorious Howell Raines, who GOT FIRED FOR FAKING THE NEWS!!!!
This is a joke, right.
Two reasons come immediately to mind:
1) In the MSM, there are no honest journalists.
2) That's because -if they're honest - they don't write for any of the dinosaur pubs.
I was thinking, he looks like he lives in a bar...What a booze face...
Hey Howard, why doesn't the SRM ever ax hard questions of the dim politicians instead of kissing their butt?
He looks like a big-time boozer to me, which could explain some of his past problems.
All I see is an attribution to the Washington Post.
Please explain.
It never ceases to amaze me in regards to the extent of the left's brainwashing. That idiot actually believes the malarkey he is espousing. My God, I do believe that liberalism is a mental disorder...I pray that these people find a cure, how they suffer so.
Howell not Howard.
They all submit their applications and try to get hired by FOX and Ailes, seeing as how their talents are very wasted at fraudulent "media outlets" in the MSM.
This is satire, right?
Fox's viewers are too stupid to know the truth unless a liberal explains it to them.
His nose makes him look like an alcoholic.
Gee, Howie, why not just step up & put Fox in its place while you still have a notable circulation? Are you some powerless peon without a voice?
Oh, that's right, you tried & failed already.
I guess you have become a peon... nice confession. Welcome to your well deserved irrelevance!
Two more words: Dan Rather.
I get a tingle up my leg whenever another dinosaur like Raines wails about the loss of the monopoly the Democrat newsrooms enjoyed for decades. They are just gnashing their teeth that people are (finally!) getting the truth about the Democrat party and its America-hating socialist agenda.
I'm surprised Raines hasn't had a heart attack yet.
I'd love to see Howard as a "guest" on the Factor!
Is this man a moron. We read the bills. We don't want this "reform" because we know what it is, and it isn't about anyone's "health care."
Howell, your tenure at the New York Times puts the lie to your question. The NYT conducts propaganda campaigns on a daily basis.
Gee Howell perhaps it's because they are telling the truth and other journalists don't want to look silly for lying?
There are honest journalists?

Costa Concordia Salvage Operation To Begin Monday
A complicated salvage operation is set to begin Monday at the site of the Costa Concordia, the luxury cruise ship that ran aground off Italy in 2012. Even if it succeeds, it will be a long time before things return to normal on the island of Giglio, where the ship wrecked last January.
A large team has gathered to try to move the wreck of the ship, which measures 952 feet in length and weighs more than 114,000 tons. NPR's Sylvia Poggioli filed this report for our Newscast unit:
"The old nautical term for the operation is called parbuckling. Over a 10- to 12-hour period, the ship — now slumped on its side on a sloping reef — will be slowly rotated as dozens of pulleys will pull it upright.
"The big unknown is the condition of the side of the ship lying on the jagged reef, which juts into the hull by some 30 feet. But the engineers in charge are confident that the operation will be successful — so confident that there's no Plan B.
"The option of breaking up the ship on site was discarded because the shipwreck lies in the Tuscan marine sanctuary, Europe's biggest, a haven for whales, dolphins and the last surviving monk seals."
Sylvia also reported on the undertaking for yesterday's All Things Considered, when she said that the ship's "carcass is like an alien from outer space that plopped down alongside the wooden dinghies moored in the small fishing port."
That port has seen big changes since the Concordia crash that resulted in 32 deaths. While the hulking wreck has harmed the tourism business, hundreds of engineers, salvage divers, and other workers have converged on Giglio.
The salvage operation is being undertaken by an American company, Titan Salvage, and an Italian contractor, Micoperi. The operation has its own website — called The Parbuckling Project — which details the steps in attempting to stabilize and re-float the Concordia.
Writing for CNN about the effects on the island, here's how Barbie Latza Nadeau describes the scene in Giglio:
"On any given night of the week, the portside bars are filled with men in gray Titan Salvage jumpsuits. An occasional salvage woman joins the mix, but the vast majority are men who come in to port to unwind. Some wear holsters with scissors hanging on them — a cowboy-esque equivalent of a pistol for deep sea oilrig divers. Others sling their red inflatable Titan-Micoperi life vests over their shoulders or dangle them on the barstools."

Diabetic Nerve Pain: 10 Foot Care Tips to Protect Yourself
In this article
4. Skip the barefoot look.
Always wear shoes or slippers. Always wear socks with your shoes, since leather, plastics, and manmade shoe materials can irritate your skin and quickly bring on blisters.
While you might prefer the look of hose, nylon knee-highs, or thin socks, you may find that these don't give your toes or heels enough protection. Wear thicker socks to pad your feet and cushion any calluses or sore spots.
5. Speak up.
Nerve damage can be unpredictable. Tell your doctor about any changes in sensation in your toes, feet, or legs. Speak up if you notice pain, tingling, a pins-and-needles feeling, numbness, or any other unusual signs -- even if it seems trivial to you. There's nothing small-potatoes about a potential foot amputation.
6. Stay soft, but dry.
Your skin may be dry and cracked because of high glucose levels, and cracked skin means it's easier for bacteria to get under your skin and harder for infections to heal. Use a small amount of skin lotion daily, but be sure your feet feel dry, not damp or sticky, afterward. Try not to get the lotion in between your toes.
Keep your toenails trimmed and filed smooth to avoid ingrown toenails. You may find it easier to trim your nails after using lotion, when your cuticles are softer.
Use a pumice stone after showering or bathing to softly file corns or calluses.
7. Try non-impact exercise.
Swimming, cycling, yoga, and tai chi are increasingly popular ways to exercise -- with minimal impact on your feet. Talk with your doctor before starting an exercise program.
8. Fix bunions, corns, and hammertoes.
If your big toe slants sharply in toward your other toes, with a big bump on the knuckle of your big toe, you've got a classic bunion. Corns are spots of thick, rough skin, where the tissue builds up on toes constantly barraged by too much rubbing or pressure. A buckled-under toe, called a hammertoe, can result from muscle weakness caused by diabetic nerve damage. All of these make it hard to fit shoes comfortably.
A good podiatrist can help you fix these problems and take better care of your feet.

Build a future safer from earthquakes
Post-Installed Seismic Anchor Design
Post-installed anchors designed using the methods in ACI 318-08, Appendix D, must be pre-qualified by extensive testing under ACI 355.2. The International Code Council (ICC) Evaluation Service provides a path to prequalification through acceptance criteria AC 193 for mechanical anchors and AC 308 for chemical anchors. These criteria define the testing methods and assessment procedures to develop design parameters compliant with Appendix D.
Specific product characteristics as well as material safety factors can be found in the Evaluation Service Report (ESR) issued by ICC, which enable the determination of the product resistances such as concrete breakout, pull-out, tensile and shear steel capacities. ICC-ES evaluation service reports and acceptance criteria can be found at www.icc-es.org
Seismically pre-qualified adhesive anchors
Seismically pre-qualified mechanical anchors
Metal Deck Fastening Seismic Solutions
With one of the world's largest and most flexible deck diaphragm test frames, Hilti can conduct full-scale static and seismic testing of entire deck sections with up to 350 fastening points to assess parameters like fastener performance and energy dissipation. This allows Hilti to test and develop powder-actuated and screw fastening systems suitable for earthquake zones in conjunction with various metal deck systems.
Besids the steel deck itself, Hilti's mechanical powder-actuated and screw fastening systems can significantly contribute to a ductile behavior.

Hi all....
So, I never actually got my blog to post...so, I disabled all my plug-ins and set my theme to 2011. That didn't work. Then, I had the "brilliant" thought that it might have something to do with where it was trying to go. Therefore, I changed the two settings of where the blog is to post (where I really want it to show up anyway). Well, since I did that I can't get into my blog at all.
Site is http://www.spokwerks.com/ and everything was going to: http://www.spokwerks.com/blog... before I changed it.
Below is the error I get when I try to gain access.

Let's face it. I'm not a spring chicken.
I have three adult children, two of whom have solid careers while the other is finishing his senior year of college.
I don't have grandchildren, but I'm definitely old enough to have a passel. I could even have a couple who could be as old as 12. But remember, I don't.
I'm not fit and thin and my eyebrows spotted gray two years before I found my first one in my head this past January.
Indeed, I am old.
Over 132 years ago when Williston residents needed a news source, someone stepped up to the printing press and rolled off the first edition of what would one day become the Williston Pioneer.
Through the years, the paper that was founded as the Levy County Times has undergone many changes: owners, editors, names, staff and sizes.
But what hasn't changed in 132 years is the newspaper's position that it will be the best news source for Williston and the surrounding area.
When best friend Denise and I hit the road, misadventure is sure to follow.
Now that 500 miles separate us, those road trips are rarer but they're still something to bank on.
These days, the misadventures tend to be more with my husband and though I am loathe to admit it, it seems the common denominator is none other than me.
Our recent weeklong trip–about 1,800 miles–through Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and at last, Kentucky was again fraught with misadventure, albeit minor ones.

His name was Harry and he was nine years older than me but that's not important.

Special to the Pioneer
One only has to be a fan of any sport, and you will hear the same old stories and predictions from many coaches and sportscasters regardless of the sport.
There are those who say defense wins football championships, and free throw shooting wins and loses most basketball games. And some say defense and others say it's pitching that wins baseball championships.
Well, let's take a look at this 2014 Williston Red Devil Baseball 1A State Championship team to see just how good they were.
It's been a rough baseball season here at the Williston Pioneer. Our sports writer quit and despite advertisements, Facebook pleadings and discussions with teachers and students alike, no one came forward to do the job.
Service is the rent we pay for being
One of my goals as a City Councilman when I was appointed was to engage people and encourage service to our community.

Andy and Lana Wachowski seem to have found a good balance between the blockbuster sci-fi entertainment of The Matrix and the kind of emotional storytelling on display in Cloud Atlas with their next film. Jupiter Ascending features a young woman played by Mila Kunis discovering she's part of something much larger than herself (or even Earth) as the mysterious Caine, played by Channing Tatum, switches from hunting her down to protecting her.
As you can see, the French trailer features much of the same footage we saw in March, but it does offer a few new looks here and there at the film, which also stars Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne and Douglas Booth.
Here's the official synopsis for Jupiter Ascending, which opens July 18:
From the streets of Chicago to the far-flung galaxies whirling through space, "Jupiter Ascending" tells the story of Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis), who was born under a night sky, with signs predicting she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people's houses and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine (Channing Tatum), a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along—her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.
This movie just doesn't look good. Kinda wanna see it for the special effects though.

Slate's Emily Yoffe Joins the Climate Confused
Slate's Emily Yoffe shows just how successful the Denyers' disinformation campaign has been. Here is what she wrote in the Washington Post today:
Since I hate the heat, even I was alarmed by the recent headline: "NASA Warns of 110-Degrees for Atlanta, Chicago, DC in Summer." But I regained my cool when I realized the forecast was for close to the end of the century. Thanks to all the heat-mongering, it's supposed to be a sign I'm in denial because I refuse to trust a weather prediction for August 2080, when no one can offer me one for August 2008 (or 2007 for that matter).
There is so much hubris in the certainty about the models of the future that I'm oddly reassured. We've seen how hubristic predictions about complicated, unpredictable events have a way of bringing the predictors low.
It's also hard to believe assertions that the science on the future of our climate is settled when climate scientists can't agree about the present — or the past (there is contention about the dates, causes and even the existence of the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age that followed).
Sad that a smart writer like Yoffe would buy into 4 or 5 major Denyer talking points by my count, including the infamous: "we can't predict the weather, therefore, we can't predict the climate" — a favorite of Michael Crichton's.
These myths are all debunked here, a valuable resource I will comment more on later in the week.
Note that Yoffe is right that "hubristic predictions about complicated, unpredictable events have a way of bringing the predictors low" — but that could just as easily apply to predictions (like hers) that we don't have to worry about climate change. I'll stick with the predictions of climate scientists, especially since they have so far underestimated climate impacts and feedbacks.

Polar cities in the far distant future to house remnants of humankind
who survive the apocalypse of devastating global warming? The casual
reader might think I am an alarmist or a mere scare-monger, but I am
neither. I am a visionary.
Polar cities are proposed sustainable polar retreats designed to house
human beings in the future, in the event that global warming causes
the central and middle regions of the Earth to become uninhabitable
for a long period of time. Although they have not been built yet, some
futurists have been giving considerable thought to the concepts
I know, I know, the very thought of "polar cities" sounds like some
science-fiction movie you don't want to see. But it might be
instructive to think about such sustainable Artic and Antartic
communities for the future of humankind. If worse come to worse, and
things fall apart, perhaps by the year 2500 or the year 3000, we must
might need polar cities. And perhaps the time to start thinking about
them, and designing and planning them (and maybe even building, or
pre-building them), is now.
Here is more food for thought, from an entry in Wikipedia:
"High-population-density cities, to be built in the polar regions,
with sustainable energy and transportation infrastructures, will
require substantial nearby agriculture. Boreal soils are largely poor
in key nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, but nitrogen-fixing
plants (such as the various alders in the Artic region) with the
proper symbiotic microbes and mycorrhizal fungi can likely remedy such
poverty without the need for petroleum-derived fertilizers. Regional
probiotic soil improvement should perhaps rank high on any polar
cities priority list. James Lovelock's notion of a widely distributed
almanac of science knowledge and post-industrial survival skills also
appears to have value."
Oh, I know it's fashionable to mock global warming alarmists and doom
and gloom futurists with no credentials except a keyboard and a blog,
but there's a method to the madness of thinking about polar cities.
Maybe, just maybe, if enough people hear about the concept of polar
cities and realize how serious such a possibility is, maybe, just
maybe, they will get off their tuches and start thinking hard and fast
about how we humans are causing climate change by our lifestyles and
inventions and gadgets and need for cars and airplanes and trains and
ships and factories and coal-burning plants across the globe — and
then maybe it won't be fashionable to mock global warming alarmists
The future does not look good. But we can do something now. No, not
building polar cities now. That's for the future to decide. What we
can do now is stop what we are doing now and start planning in a more
sane way for the future of the species. If we even care. I do. We must
stop all human acitivity that is responsible for emitting carbon
dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere. Now. It's getting later earlier
and earlier, I tell you.
see what Hank Cox says here
Webposted: July 1, 2007
Environmental activist Dan Bloom has come up with a solution to global
warming that apparently no one else is talking about: polar cities.
That's right, Bloom envisions future polar cities will house some 200
million survivors of global warming in the far distant future (perhaps
in the year 2500, he says on his blog), and he's lobbying on the
Internet for their planning, design and construction — NOW!
"Sounds nutty, I know" the 58-year-old self-described "eco-dreamer"
says from his home in Asia, where he has been based since 1991. "But
global warming is for real, climate change is for real, and polar
cities just might be important if humankind is to survive the coming
'events', whatever they might be, in whatever form they take."
Bloom, a 1971 graduate of Tufts University in Boston, says he came up
with the idea of polar cities after reading a long interview with
British scientist James Lovelock, who has predicted that in the
future, the only survivors of global warming might be around 200
million people who migrate to the polar regions of the world.
"Lovelock pointed me in this direction," Bloom says. "Although he has
never spoken of polar cities per se, he has talked about the
possibility that the polar regions might be the only place where
humans can survive if a major cataclysmic event occurs as a direct
result of global warming, in the far distant future. I think we've got
about 30 generations of human beings to get ready for this."
Does Bloom, who has created a blog and video on YouTube, think that
polar cities are practicial?
""Practical, necessary, imperative," he says. "We need to start
thinking about them now, and maybe even designing and building them
now, while we still have time and transportation and fuel and
materials and perspective. Even if they never get built, the very idea
of polar cities should scare the pants off people who hear about the
concept and goad them into doing something concrete about global
warming. That's part of my agenda, too."

All of the biggest sites in the world are ranking on these search engines, and that is why they can remain on top for as long as they are. So, what can you do to get the process rolling? It all begins with something as simple as a search engine submission. Let's take a look at the benefits of this and its importance in general.
Speeds Up The Process
A ranking is not impossible, but when you can speed up the process wouldn't you want to do this? Get the search engine looking at your site by submitting it. This is going to ensure the site is going to be tracked by the search engine sooner rather than later. If you let it go as is, you are going to have to wait for a while.
Gets The Search Engine Prepared To Scan The Site
Now, this is important because you are only going to be able to rank once the search engine has sent bots to your site to take a look. If they don't do this, the rest is just not going to work out, and you could do as much research as you want. It is just not going to happen.
This is why you have to let the search engine know, and then it will be able to do the rest for you as you had been hoping. Those who don't do this are the ones who are never going to be happy with what they have got.
Traffic numbers are going to work out in your favor when you are putting in the hard work that is required with regards to the search engine submission. Once you do this, you are going to notice how fast everything is going to go, and you are not going to believe that people ignore this step. Make the most of it as you are going to revel in the results that you will get as time goes on.

Desperate Straits of Fannie, Freddie Triggered Their Seizure
WASHINGTON -- The regulator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac told lawmakers Thursday that the federal government seized control of the mortgage giants after they said they wouldn't be able to raise more capital without financing from the U.S. Treasury.
Federal Housing Finance Agency Director James B. Lockhart painted a stark picture of the pressures mounting on the government-sponsored enterprises in the weeks before the government took them over. He argued that by August, the firms had only one other option: shedding their mortgage assets as the housing market was tanking.
"That would have been disastrous for the mortgage markets, as mortgage rates would have continued to move higher and, in turn, disastrous for the enterprises as the prices of their securities would have fallen and credit losses increased," Mr. Lockhart told members of the House Financial Services Committee.
He said the firms' deteriorating financial positions, coupled with the worsening housing and capital-market conditions, led him to act jointly with the Treasury to seize the firms on Sept. 7.
Mr. Lockhart said that by August, the firms' borrowing costs were climbing higher and it became clear the firms wouldn't be able to raise capital in any "meaningful size." Meanwhile, central banks had stopped buying their securities, while ratings firms had notched down their ratings on all but the companies senior debt.
These factors "convinced us that the time to act was now," he said.
The new chief executives for Fannie and Freddie, Herb Allison and David Moffett, also testified at the hearing, which was marked by finger-pointing by lawmakers on which party was to blame for the takeover of the firms.
Republicans argued that Democrats stalled legislation to tighten oversight of the firms. Failure to pass such legislation is "one of Washington's greatest oversights" in years, said Rep. Ed Royce, a California Republican.
Messrs. Allison and Moffett told lawmakers that they were in close communication with federal regulators and the Treasury to perform the firms' public mission while nursing them back to health.
"We are mindful that we need to operate in a safe and sound manner and we need to move quickly to perform our role as a core stabilizing factor in the markets," Mr. Allison said.
Mr. Moffett said that, in addition to pumping liquidity into the mortgage market, Freddie Mac "remains focused on meeting our affordable housing mission, including the affordable housing goals."
However, Mr. Lockhart said the firms missed two affordable housing targets set by the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2007. Based on his discussions with the firms, "the miss will be larger in 2008," he said.
Mr. Lockhart recounted a series of steps taken in conjunction with the government takeover and in the weeks after, including halting all lobbying by the firms, hiring Messrs. Allison and Moffett and recruiting two nonexecutive chairman of the firms' boards. Philip Laskawy agreed to fill the role at Fannie, while John Koskinen took the job at Freddie.
Mr. Lockhart said FHFA didn't take lightly its decision to seize the firms, and that the agency had consulted with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson beforehand.
During the regulator's review of the companies early in July, it became clear that conditions were worsening faster than either firm had anticipated. By early August, there were "significant and critical weaknesses across the board" in terms of credit, market and operational risk, Mr. Lockhart said.
The goal of taking control of the two firms is "to help restore confidence in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, enhance their capacity to fulfill their mission, reduce the systemic risk and make more mortgages available at a lower cost to the American people," he said.

Lawrenceburg Vacation Packages
Lawrenceburg is approximately 120 miles (193 kilometers) away from Birmingham, a a well-known city in the United States of America.
Vacationing in just one place, no matter how popular, usually only offers you a limited view into the broader personality of a region. So try to set aside some time to enjoy Central Tennessee's other natural and man-made attractions. Approximately 17 miles (27 kilometers) away you'll find Pulaski. Head here to discover the Giles County Courthouse and Victoria Park.
When you are ready to head further afield beyond Lawrenceburg, visit the nearest center. Florence is situated 35 miles (56 kilometers) away and is home to visitor attractions like Children's Museum of the Shoals, Renaissance Tower and Kennedy-Douglass Center for the Arts. If you're still looking for things to do, consider checking out Shoals Conference Center, W. C. Handy Home and Shoals Community Theater before you return to Lawrenceburg.
If you are looking for indoor activities, you can't better Central Tennessee's history museums. These are great spots to soak up some of the region's culture and perhaps find a unique memento.
If you're seeking a break from sightseeing, why not try the local watersports? Swimming and boating are both popular within the region. If you're the type who likes to take things easy while on vacation, why not try a spot of camping and cycling.
For those who intend on traveling by air, take into account that the closest major airport is Northwest Alabama Regional Airport, 40 miles (64 kilometers) to the southwest of Lawrenceburg.

Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday it is recalling about 550,000 vehicles worldwide — mostly in the United States — for problems that could make it harder to steer.
The recall affects 447,000 vehicles in North America, as well as 38,000 in Japan and another 25,000 in Australia and New Zealand, said Toyota spokesman Dion Corbett. In Europe some 14,000 vehicles are being recalled along with 10,000 in the Middle East and 14,000 in Asia outside Japan.
Toyota has received a total of 79 reports about the defect dating back to 2007, said Corbett. There have been no reports of accidents or injuries related to the problems, he said.
Toyota's reputation has taken a hit over the last two years due to a string of huge recalls that have ballooned to 14 million vehicles over that time, including millions recalled last year for acceleration problems. It faces damage lawsuits and lingering doubts in the U.S. about whether it had been transparent enough about the recall woes.
Japan's largest automaker has been trying to communicate better with customers and empower regional operations outside Japan to make safety decisions.
The news comes a day after Toyota said its July-September profit slid 18.5 percent to 80.4 billion yen ($1 billion) on plunging sales caused by parts shortages from the tsunami disaster in northeastern Japan.
It now faces such uncertainties from flooding in Thailand, where it has many suppliers and three assembly plants, that it declined to release an earnings forecast for the full year through March.
The latest recall is due to the possibility that the outer ring of the engine's crankshaft pulley may become misaligned with the inner ring, causing noise or a warning signal to light up, the company's U.S. sales unit said in a press release. If the problem isn't corrected, the belt for the power steering pump may become detached from the pulley, making it suddenly more difficult to turn the steering wheel.
In the United States, the automaker is recalling 283,200 Toyota brand cars, including the 2004 and 2005 Camry, Highlander, Sienna and Solara, the 2004 Avalon and the 2006 Highlander HV. Its recall of 137,000 Lexus vehicles includes the 2004 and 2005 ES330 and RX330 and 2006 RX400h.
Those affected elsewhere include certain models of the Alphard, Highlander, Highlander hybrid and some Lexus models, Corbett said.
The recall notification process varies from country to country.
In the U.S., Toyota will mail owners a notification to make an appointment with an authorized dealer to have their car inspected once replacement parts have been produced in sufficient quantities.
If needed, parts will be replaced for no charge, the company's American sales unit said. Notifications will be mailed starting in January.
In the meantime, if an abnormal noise is heard coming from the engine compartment, the owner is asked to make an appointment with any Toyota or Lexus dealer to have the vehicle inspected for this condition, the release said.

Scotgold plans new mine on River Orchy
Prospecting begins after plans to reopen a mine in Loch Lomond National Park are thrown out
A gold mining company has begun prospecting just outside the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park after being told it could not reopen a mine within the reserve.
Scotgold Resources is exploring in the River Orchy area, just three miles north west of the Cononish mine where mining rights were refused.
There are concerns that although the new site is outside the National Park, it is still close to popular climbing venue Beinn Udlaidh.
Outdoors writer Chris Townsend said: "I would imagine that exactly the same concerns would apply outside the national park as inside the park.
"In a sense the park boundary is artificial - it doesn't mean that the highlands outside it are any less valuable."

The Greenhouse School, Inc.
Rating: 0 stars 0 0 review 19
145 Loring Ave Salem MA 01970 USA
The Greenhouse School is a place where learning to think is the central premise: for kids, teachers, for everyone involved in the school community. The school was founded in 1983 by Patricia Jennings-Welch, who has spent a lifetime devoted to education beginning with her own eight children. A year-round, private alternative school for grands K-*, our school is rooted in the tradition of experimental programs that have developed in response to the need for change in the traditional schools. Unlike much of the experimental movement, however, The Greenhouse School has deliberately chosen to ground itself in the community. Central to the notion of reform for us is the notion of access. Open all day and year round, we strive to serve the broadest possible base, providing an environment diverse in language, culture, class, race and learning style.

It has been confirmed that JYJ's Park Yoochun will serve in the army as a public service personnel in the army because he has asthma.
C-Jes Entertainment stated, " Yoochun recently underwent his physical exam and received a level four grade due to his asthma, which he's had since he was younger. Yoochun complied with all of the examinations required by the Military Manpower Association, and even received a retest three times. In the end, the Military Manpower Association decided that he would be best fit for reservist duty so he will serve as public service personnel."
Yoochun delayed his enlistment due to his hectic schedule and his drama 'Rooftop Prince.'
ANDWEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! it'd mean the group would be on hiatus. nooooooo!
i guess that's good news for him ...
he still got out of it quite luckily. god how I hate every form of the army....

Wondering how others have solved issues related to the admin, more specifically the users and usermeta related queries on the back end. As we grow with over 25,000 users, it appears that wordpress is simply unable to handle anywhere near that number of users effectively. From what I can see it has something to do with unnecessary joins caused by having user profiles existing in the usermeta table instead of being fields on the user table. If you turn on and off plugins related to a user profile, at least one mysql process results with a long query (that usually ends in a timeout), consumes a huge CPU% and load skyrockets.
I don't have that many plugins. I have about 12, most of them off and only active in certain blogs, none of which give me trouble. Turning off every plugin doesn't make much of a difference as it's always the same issue. It comes down to the need to match userids on two different tables among other issues that deal with turning on and off plugins for that many users. Combine all this with capabilities and you've got your way for a tremendous amount of overhead just to deal with simple clerical processes.
Wondering how others might have solved this problem, if at all. At present, doesn't look like anyone truly has.

After eight months of negotiations and five months of working without a contract, the Turlock Associated Police Officers and the City of Turlock have reached an agreement deemed acceptable to both sides.
The City of Turlock is considering steps it could take to make it more transparent to applicants why they are paying a litany of fees when they apply for a building permit following a workshop on Tuesday.
It's April 1, which means the days left to file taxes before the deadline are becoming fewer and fewer.
The City of Turlock is using precious well water to irrigate Pedretti Park after recycled water began having an adverse affect on the Coastal Redwoods that embellish the public facility.
The selection process for the 2015-2016 Stanislaus County Civil Grand Jury has started. Citizens interested in serving on the Civil Grand Jury are encouraged to contact the Grand Jury Office at 558-7766 or go on line at: http://stanct.org/sites/default/files/Affidavit%202015_2016.pdf to download an application form.
It's a common complaint in Turlock: Why is their road being fixed and not mine?
Events could be returning to the downtown Turlock area with a bridal showcase this spring and a monthly food fair this summer pending the Turlock City Council's approval of road closures for the events at Tuesday's City Council meeting.
Caltrans and its partners are beginning the first phase of a $133 million project to create a unique protective structure to protect the roadway from rockslides and restore State Route 140 between Mariposa and El Portal, and provide a safe, direct route to enter Yosemite National Park.
As part of an ongoing effort to successfully implement Assembly Bill 60, the California Department of Motor Vehicles announced it is seeking public comment on several potential changes to future application processes.
While local legislators may hold different views on issues affecting the region they have one thing in common: Turlock.
Director of Parks, Recreation and Public Facilities Allison Van Guilder said her department is analogous to an event planning firm.
The City of Turlock is outperforming both Stanislaus County and the State of California in sales tax revenue and while this is indicative of a strengthening local economy, it doesn't necessarily translate into more money for the City.
On any given school day roughly 1,000 kids across 13 school sites are taking advantage of the City of Turlock after school programs, but the programs' beginnings in the late 1990s were far more modest: there was only one student and two staff at Crowell Elementary School.
The future of mobile food trucks in downtown Turlock lies entirely in the hands of the Turlock City Council as the Planning Commission failed to reach an agreement on whether they should recommend stronger restrictions of the mobile vendors in certain downtown areas.
The dissolution of the City of Turlock and Chamber of Commerce's contract to operate the Convention and Visitors Bureau is already taking shape as evidenced by the City Council's lengthy deliberation Tuesday evening to decide who would administer grant funds, a job formerly reserved for the CVB.
