No, it's the convenience of shopping during quiet hours, with or without refreshment.
You know it's a slow news week when normally sensible newspapers like the New York Times write silly articles like the one today that suggests online retailers are targeting consumers who are drunk, presumably taking advantage of their inebriation to sell them stuff they wouldn't buy sober.
From the headline, "Online Merchants Home In on Imbibing Consumers" you might expect several examples of web retailers that have tailored their strategies to consumers who've had a few. But, in fact, no retailer admits to such a strategy. The best the writer can offer is quotes from executives at eBay, QVC and Gilt Groupe about the likelihood that consumers who are in a relaxed mood might be more inclined to shop online.
The article also cites a study by a U.K. comparison shopping site, Kelkoo, which found almost half the British consumers it surveyed had shopped online after drinking. That may be true. But how many had, after having a cocktail or a couple of glasses of wine with dinner, gone on to pay bills online, read bedtime stories to their kids or watch a sporting event? The article doesn't say.
In fact, many surveys have explained why consumers shop online: Convenience, broad selection, and the ability to shop around for the best price. Even a sober person can see those merits. And there must be a lot of sober consumers shopping online, because a third of Americans say they never drink—but 80% of U.S. adults shop online.
A more paranoid person than myself might believe this story was planted by retail chains hoping some governmental agency will step in to stop online retailers from making it possible for consumers to shop whenever they please. If tomorrow's Times has a story about a congressman calling on e-commerce sites to close at 6 p.m. I might rethink whether that idea is paranoid.

The summer transfer window is in full swing. Following last week's rankings, plenty of business is currently being conducted throughout Europe.
Taking into account every confirmed deal, money spent and received isn't the only criteria judged. The value of each player to both his departing and new team should also be taken into consideration. This means that just because Neymar may be the highest-quality player exchanged in the window, Barcelona aren't guaranteed to take the No. 1 spot.
Which teams are getting value for money? Who has sold one of their best players? Read on to find out.

GARFIELD — A 22-year-old city woman faces a drunk driving charge after her car plunged approximately 14 feet over a retaining wall and landed in a shopping center parking lot Friday morning, police said.
Kelly Luterzo was driving when her car, traveling north on Passaic Street, veered off the roadway, crashed into a light pole at Shopping Center Drive, hit a guardrail and slammed through a fence before falling into the lot below around 9:30 a.m., according to Capt. Darren Sucorowski.
The car landed upright and had heavy front-end damage, police added.
Luterzo was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center for observation, the captain said.

6/1 Cubs lineup – UPDATED
Jeff Samardzija faces Kyle Lohse in the series finale Sunday between the Cubs and Brewers at Miller Park. Samardzija leads the Majors with a 1.68 ERA in 11 starts, mere percentage points ahead of Johnny Cueto's 1.68 ERA (1.680 vs. 1.681). According to STATS Inc., it's the lowest ERA for a Cubs starting pitcher on June 1 (minimum 10 starts) since Rick Reuschel posted a 1.60 season ERA entering June of 1973.
UPDATE: Luis Valbuena is sidelined with an abdominal problem, and not in the Cubs' lineup. Valbuena batted .295 in May. Cubs manager Rick Renteria said the problem isn't serious, and that Valbuena is sidelined as a precautionary measure.
The Cubs have played 24 games decided by two runs or less this season, going 5-19 in those contests. Those 24 close games represent nearly half of the games they've played, as the team is 15-14 in 29 games decided by three runs or more.
Here's the lineup:
Bonifacio CF
Lake LF
Rizzo 1B
Castro SS
Schierholtz RF
Castillo C
Olt 3B
Barney 2B
Samardzija P

Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Welcome to the live chat for the MLive.com Game of the Week between Holly and Fenton. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. (or when the girls game ends) and Ross Maghielse and I will be live at the game to bring up-to-the-minute updates and chat with those at home and those at games tonight. I hope to chat with all of you later tonight.
Thad S - Welcome to Fenton High School, Ross.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: The teams are done warming up and starting rotations will be announced soon.
Ross Maghielse | MLive.com - Thanks Thad. Had a nice pre-game meal and I"m ready to go
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Fenton has four seniors and a junior in their starting rotation. Holly is starting two freshmen, a junior and two seniors.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: And tipoff is underway!
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Cory Cox with a big 3-pointer to open the game. Could be a long night for Holly if the big man is knocking them down from out there.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Fenton is playing with a lot of emotion. Up 7-0 early and the student section is making a lot of noise.
Ross Maghielse | MLive.com - Fenton's athleticism already showing here. Especially on defense. Holly can't get a look at the basket
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Holly gets their first basket 3 minutes into the game on a nice drive to the basket by Justis Kerner. 7-2 Fenton.
Ross Maghielse | MLive.com - Holly has some shooters, but if it doesn't start hitting 3s soon this might get out of hand.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Fenton has been able to hit their shots from outside and in the lane. 13-2 lead and Holly just can't get a basket to fall with 2:36 remaining in the first.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: In early girls basketball action, Fenton, Swartz Creek and Clio all picked up Flint Metro League victories. Fenton over Holly means the league race got even closer.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: After the first, Beecher boys lead Goodrich, 24-11.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: It is a packed house here tonight and both fan bases are into this game. Holly is doing better in the paint defensively, but their offense has them in a 10-point hole, 16-6.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Cox with another 3-pointer followed by a layup has Fenton up 21-6.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: End of the first and Fenton leads Holly 23-6.
Ross Maghielse | MLive.com - Fenton just delivered a haymaker to Holly at the end of the first quarter. Cory Cox scored 5 quick and then Readman as time expired.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Beecher is now up 41-17 on Goodrich at halftime.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: COx and teammate Eric Readman have both hit some pretty jump shots tonight. Fenton leads 25-11.
tigerguy24 - How is HOlly Freshman Kyle Woodruff doing?
Ross Maghielse | MLive.com - Holly had it within 11 about a minute ago and now it's 30-14. Fenton not giving up anything
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: tigerguy24, he has taken the ball into the lane a lot, but not able to get many shots. He only has two points with 2:20 left in the half.
tigerguy24 - Woodruff not getting a chance to set up outside, huh? He is a deadly 3 pointer.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Yea, I think he has only taken one shot from outside and it was a quick release because of an incoming defender.
slowtimer - shooting 3's against man to man defense is tougher than it is against zone D
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: No doubt, slowtimer. Holly isn't getting many good quality shot opportunities. Plus, the size disadvantage doesn't help.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: At halftime, Fenton leads 34-19.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Holly actually outscored Fenton in that period, 13-11. It is safe to say the Holly fans/bench don't like the way this game is being called.
tigerguy24 - Beecher is awesome....watched them 2 weeks ago when they didn't have Cooper and they won by 50. Now with Coop (who just signed with CMU for football) they are out of reach....they will have back-to-back perfect season unless someone from Detroit derails
Ross Maghielse | MLive.com - Pretty impressive first half for Fenton. Tigers might be in league of their own in Flint Metro now.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Beecher has looked great this year. They have a lot of quick guys who put the pressure on defensively. They have a big test tomorrow night.
tigerguy24 - Did I hear Pershing?
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Yep, they travel to Pershing tomorrow.
tigerguy24 - That may be their last and only big test this year. I agree they create turnovers by the dozens......and they run the floor like no other HS team I've seen......and I'm an old-timer.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Flint Northern got a big 51-46 win over Carman-Ainsworth tonight.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Two big 3-pointers by Readman and Mitch Shegos has Fenton up 40-24 early in the third.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: On the other hand, Kyle Woodruff is finally starting to hit his groove with two 3-pointers to pull Holly within 13 at 40-27.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: The slow-paced third quarter and Fenton leads 49-31 heading into the fourth.
Broncho - Last game Holly moved the ball well and hit the open player and it worked pretty well for them. Not sure by they stopped doing that tonight - too many individuals tonight - Fenton looks good.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Broncho, I haven't seen Holly play this year, but they aren't moving the ball well tonight. I think it's half Fenton D and half players trying to do too much.
Broncho - I absolutely agree - they've been hot and cold all year. When they don't play like a team, this is what happens. Everyone wants to be the hero against a good Fenton team and that's just not how you do it.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Holly calls a timeout wiht 5:11 left in the game. Fenton leads 53-33.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Beecher scores a 73-46 victory over Goodrich tonight. Sweeps the season series and keeps their undefeated season alive.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Another 3 by Woodruff and Holly skrinks the lead to 53-39 with 3:31 left to play.
flinttorch - How many points does Woodruff have?
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: flinttorch, Woodruff has 17 points, which includes four 3-pointers.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Fenton is in the double bonus now and Readman at the line. Tigers lead 55-39 with 2:36 left.
flinttorch - Thank you
Guest - He needs to learn how to pass and dribble - pretty one dimensional.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Guest, he does have some things to learn, but luckily for Coach Baylis, he is a freshman. Right now he is just trying to shrink the deficit and taking some bad shots.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: Reserves in for Fenton as the final minute begins to tick off the clock. Fenton leads 64-41.
Josh Gordon | MLive.com: FINAL: Fenton def. Holly, 66-43. Thanks for joining in tonight. See you all next week!

GREENWICH TWP. — The township's school board has introduced a tentative budget of $12.4 million for the 2013-2014 school year.
According to business administrator Scott Campbell, the district chose not to raise the tax levy the full 2 percent allowed by the state, but rather increased it only 1.25 percent to cover necessary increases, such as benefits and technology needs.
"We did go below the cap," he said. "It's a really solid budget. There is more in there for technology, but we're addressing what we need to keep up with the times."
The budget is an increase of about $671,000 from the 2012-2013 budget and the tax levy of $9.5 million is an increase of $118,362 from last year.
Greenwich Township recently went through a property value reassessment, so the tax rates for the two years are not comparable.
In 2012-2013, the average home in the township was assessed at $101,650 and the school tax rate was $1.66 per $100 of assessed value. The owner of a home assessed at the township's average paid approximately $1,687 in school taxes.
In 2013-2014, the average home is assessed at $161,400 and the proposed tax rate is $1.097 for each $100 of assessed value. This means the owner of a home assessed at the town's average will pay approximately $1,770 in school taxes. This includes payments Paulsboro's school district for high school.
The budget allows for $75,000 to be put into the capital reserve account and $25,000 to be put into a maintenance reserve account and all current staff positions will be maintained.
"We've got really good leadership here with the superintendent and he has a direction for the township, which is refreshing," Campbell said. "I feel like we did the responsible thing with the budget."

The Penn State Nittany Lions will look to carry the success of last season over into 2013. In order to do that, there are several players who will need to step into starting roles for the upcoming season. Penn State needs to replace eight starters from the team that finished 8-4 a year ago.
Starting quarterback Matt McGloin leaves the biggest hole to fill on the offensive side of the ball. Behind McGloin in 2012, Penn State ranked second in the Big Ten in passing offense. Fortunately for Penn State, all starting running backs and wide receivers will be returning.
Defense is where Penn State will take the biggest hit due to graduation, losing three All-Big Ten starters. The graduations of defensive end Jordan Hill and linebackers Gerald Hodges and Michael Mauti leaves a void that needs to be filled.
Though some spots will be easier to replace than others, there will certainly be a transition period. Some positions have guys stepping in who have a lot of experience, while others will have inexperienced players taking over.
The following slides analyze every replacement starter for the 2013 season.

FAIRHOPE, Alabama -- The City of Fairhope is gearing up for another event-packed holiday season this year, with activities kicking off on Thursday, Nov. 21, with the annual tree lighting ceremony. On Nov. 23, the Downtown Business Association will present the fourth annual Movie in the Street, featuring the Tom Hanks animated feature, "The Polar Express."
"This is really a way for the merchants to say 'thank you' to the community for supporting them all year long," said Fairhope's Special Events Coordinator Paige Turberville of the movie event. "They feel like they are giving back, and showing their appreciation for everyone who buys local."
Turberville said that while the Business Association sponsors the event, the whole city supports it by making sure all the logistical details come together for a special night under the stars. "Everyone is involved – from Public Works barricading the streets to the shop owners handing out popcorn. They all come together to produce a family-friendly event our residents can enjoy."
Since its inaugural year, Turberville said the audience for the Fairhope Avenue film screening has increased several times over. "We estimated about 200 children in attendance the first year, and we're predicting well over 1,000 this year. But there is plenty of room for everyone – it's a really big screen!"
Of the many returning guests, the Capstraw family said the movie has become part of its annual holiday celebration. "My kids look forward to it every year," said Kristin Capstraw, who, with her husband Jason and children Troy, 7, and Emery, 4, has attended the event every year. "The kids get excited about wearing their pajamas, we pick up sushi from Master Joe's, and then we park our lawn chairs and bundle up under blankets to watch the movie."
Ironically, Capstraw said of the evening, "It's one of those moments where you feel like you're the one in a movie. You look around at all the families enjoying this time together – the kids are running around, the adults are sharing cookies and food with their neighbors – you feel the spirit of the season and it seems almost too good to be true. The movie is just one of so many great offerings that reminds us of what is so special about where we live."
While The Polar Express has been a mainstay year after year, Turberville said a new highlight is the addition of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," which will be shown prior to the feature film.
"The Grinch is only about 23 minutes long, and we thought this would be a good way for families with very young children to come and get the experience without having to sit through a full-length movie."
The Grinch movie also ties in with Fairhope's "25 Days of Grinchmas," a new holiday initiative whereby downtown merchants will offer various "Grinch" activities throughout the holiday season. Events include a "Make Your Own Grinch" art project at the Eastern Shore Art Center on Dec. 7, a "Meet the Grinch" opportunity sponsored by Page and Palette on Dec. 10, and a reading of the book at the Fairhope Public Library on Dec. 21.
"The introduction of the Grinch in Fairhope is a new element this year, and the merchants have had fun brainstorming quirky ways in which they can incorporate the Grinch into their own activity for the holidays," Turberville said.
The Movie in the Street event is Nov. 23 at 6:30 p.m. on Fairhope Avenue. Families are encouraged to bring picnic suppers, blankets and lawn chairs, and children are invited to wear their pajamas. The event is free and open to the public, and concessions will be available for purchase.

PLYMOUTH – Spencer Wright turned away all 13 shots he faced, helping Detroit Catholic Central shut out Grandville 3-0 in the Division 1 state semifinals at Compuware Arena in Plymouth on Friday.
Catholic Central moves on to face Brighton in a rematch of last year's championship at 6 p.m. Saturday. Brighton edged Detroit U-D Jesuit in overtime in the other semifinal.
"I've been looking forward to it for 365 days now," Wright said of the rematch. Brighton won 2-1 in last year's final.
See a photo gallery from the game by MLive's Mike Mulholland
Domenic Mancinelli netted the game-winning goal with 2:45 left in the first period, taking a shot that hit Grandville goalie Myles Madden's arm and trickled in past the goal line.
"For us to get out and start quick to get the first goal was good for us," Catholic Central coach Doug Itami said. "We wanted to make sure we kept two feet on the gas."
Jimmy Considine made it 2-0 for the Shamrocks, poking in a loose puck past Madden seven minutes into the second period. Catholic Central's third goal came moments after killing a penalty, with Ryan Kearns scoring from Kyle Mulka and Andrew Lane at 10:53 in the second.
It was an emotional game both teams, as Grandville senior co-captain Ryan Fischer died Friday morning.
"In the end, these young men, who a number of them had played together for years with Ryan, this was about us coming out here and honoring him and honoring his family," Grandville coach Joel Breazeale said. "It was also about, quite honestly, these young men setting a wonderful example for our community. As you can see from the representation we had, Ryan was an amazing young man."
Madden finished with 34 saves for Grandville, including 18 in the first period. Each stop he made received a loud cheer from the Grandville fans, which filled the arena with chants from start to finish.
"We have a very close community in Grandville and it's always been that way," Breazeale said. "I think you could see that. It's a pretty long drive and the community has certainly been terribly hit by this, it's not just our hockey team; our church, our school, our entire community. For them in these numbers to show up is awesome."

Minot Air Force Base's missile wing is involved in anti-flood measures in the Minot missile field, and local National Guard members are ready to go if needed to battle flooding in the state.
Col. Tom Summers, vice commander of the 91st Missile Wing, said the wing is "fully engaged and highly involved in anti-flood activities" in the Minot missile field.
He said teams are hard at work clearing culverts and clearing areas where the snow has accumulated in the missile field to make sure the missiles and other assets are safe from any flooding.
The entire wing and the entire base also are making sure everything is ready to go if help is needed in a moment's notice.
Lt. Col. Tad Schauer, commander of the 219th Security Forces Squadron, a North Dakota Air National Guard unit at Minot AFB, said the National Guard is always ready to repond whether it's at Minot or in other places in the state. "As we proceed forward with that, Mother Nature will alone dictate how and if we're needed," he said.
Sgt. 1st Class Nicholas Clark, senior human resources noncommissioned officer with the N.D. National Guard's 164th Engineer Battalion in Minot, said, "We're currently re-evaluating our regional response platforms just to make sure we're ready to go for any possible spring flood operations."
Summers, Schauer and Clark spoke Thursday at the Minot Area Chamber of Commerce's Military Affairs Committee meeting held at the Doolittle Center at Minot AFB.
Sgt. 1st Class Billie Jo Lorius, with National Guard Public Affairs in Bismarck, said Friday that Guard units all over the state are training to be prepared in case they are called to help with flood situations in the state.

....what if....? .....number 1
Try this first of a few what ifs I would like to throw out there. What does a simple thought like this do for you?
"What if the guy who sold everything he had to buy the incomparable pearl, was God and you were the incomparable pearl?"
....another page
As mentioned yesterday... it really doesn't take a whole lot to get me going..... yesterday it was Eldredge's musings on page 102 .... This morning it was while reading my own Daily Prayer and the part about being His co-worker leaped out at me....and off I went.... That was part of what I was trying to communicate yesterday.... If I am Mr. Make It Happen then God becomes my little co-worker... which is both upside down and backwards! We are supposed to stop doing and let Him do all the work! :)
...page 102
what ever happened to........?
....it's going well
....what is this thing?
....just what does it mean?
Just started off the day dumping a glass of water into my keyboard! So... this will be short because my space bar is being a total pain andthiisishardtoread!
Then my nose started bleeding...fortunately not into the keyboard..... or on my shirt ... because I needed to get breakfast going for the guests and there wasn't time to get dressed again!
....maybe even a tornado!
...relax and enjoy the ride!
There is no more exciting way to live than just "blowin' in the wind" ...that wind of the Holy Spirit I wrote about yesterday. Never know where He is going to take you next or who He is going to blow across your path...sometimes it's just a gentle breeze....sometimes those 50mph gusts throw you for a loop....once in a while you swear you are in the middle of a hurricane...but I wouldn't trade it for anything resembling the way I used to live....nothing.

Outgoing MAC staffers deserve kudos
I was greatly dismayed at the recent Museum & Arts Center coverage ("A museum meltdown," page A-1, Sequim Gazette, April 2), mostly because of what wasn't mentioned.
Being a MAC member of several years, I attended the annual membership meeting in January that began as a one-sided shouting match by several men who are now on the Board of Trustees. I have never witnessed adults engage in such blatant bullying and belligerence – it was a disgrace.
In spite of that appalling behavior, then-Executive Director DJ Bassett and then-Board Vice President Priscilla Hudson maintained their professionalism and decorum, just as they and their outgoing staff and volunteers are doing now. The fact that all staff and most volunteers, including longstanding board members, have exited the MAC rather than work with this new board speaks volumes.
As a member, I want to personally thank Bassett and his staff and volunteers for their years of time, effort and hard work in making the MAC something we should all be proud of – a welcoming, professional-level museum.
The Exhibit Center was transformed into a flourishing and friendly place full of interesting and fresh history exhibits, and the monthly artist receptions always were a treat.
The MAC's history programs at the beautiful Dungeness Schoolhouse, especially the most recent series, were stellar. I also have greatly enjoyed reading the many history articles, e-mail newsletters, and other correspondence that kept us members informed. It all appeared so seamless, which is a credit to Bassett and the extraordinary team he assembled. Kudos to them.

The Army Corps of Engineers awarded a $54.2 million contract to Boh Brothers Construction Co. this week to upgrade a section of the Napoleon Avenue drainage canal between South Claiborne Avenue and Carondelet Street. Construction is likely to begin later this month and end in the winter of 2014.
The project calls for building 4,200 feet of new covered canal adjacent to an existing canal, and relocating sewer and water lines to accommodate the work. Between Carondelet Street and South Liberty Street, the new canal will be 18 feet wide by 10 feet' tall, then it widens to 24 feet for six blocks, and then to 28 feet until it joins a new canal running to the Broad Street Pumping Station completed during an earlier project.
Construction of a third section of new canal between Constance and Carondelet streets has not yet been put out to bid.
This is the 12th contract awarded in New Orleans under the program, which the corps has recently renamed the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Damage Reduction Project, from "flood control project," to better reflect that the drainage projects are designed to handle water from a 10-year rainfall event.
Work is complete on eight of 20 SELA projects in the city, and the rest are expected to be completed by 2017.
The SELA program was first authorized by Congress in 1996, after the May 8-9, 1995, flood of the New Orleans area. After Hurricane Katrina, Congress expanded the program to address internal drainage concerns that would remain after the corps completed its upgrade of hurricane levees, and provided $1.6 billion for that work.
There are another 59 projects in Jefferson Parish, including 44 that have been completed.
Improvements also have been proposed in St. Tammany Parish, including channel enlargements, retention ponds, levees, and elevation of flood-prone structures, but none have moved beyond initial design stages.
Mark Schleifstein can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 504.826.3327.

What appears to be a new twist on an old scam has prompted Westerville police to caution central Ohio senior citizens about bogus claims that they've won a sweepstakes.
Lt. Paul Scowden said an 86-year-old man reported on Wednesday that he had been swindled out of $399. A second man reported nearly falling victim to the same scheme over the weekend, Scowden said.
The man who was bilked told police he'd received a call saying he had won $400,000 through a Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes. The caller had some personal information about the man and sounded legitimate.
The caller told the man to buy a Green Dot MoneyPak reloadable debit card — sold at many retail stores — put $399 on it and call back. The man did as instructed and was told to scratch off the silver strip on the card front to reveal the number. He gave the thief the number.
That was all the thief needed to cash in the card, Scowden said. The man was told the money was needed to cover taxes on the prize.
Scams that purport to be connected to Publishers Clearing House have been around "forever," Scowden said. They are so persistent that the real Publishers Clearing House maintains a "learning center" online at info.pch.com. The site says PCH employees never contact winners by telephone.
Scams involving prepaid debit cards have become widespread, possibly because victims are lulled into complacency because they still have the cards in their possession. But all a thief needs is the number, something Green Dot points out on its website.
It's unclear where the scams originate, Scowden said. "I couldn't tell you whether this was Sri Lanka, Africa, New York City or Westerville, Ohio."
The older sweepstakes scams run through the mail still exist, as an 85-year-old Minerva Park woman found out in the fall. She said she received a letter claiming she'd won $2.7 million but needed to pay $3,000 to cover taxes.
"If I won all this money, then why did they want $3,000?" she asked.
She called the listed number but refused to pay. She hasn't heard about her "winnings" since.
"I haven't got any (prize) money, but I didn't send them $3,000, either," she said yesterday.

The Shadow Reader hits the ground running as the fabulous first installment in what promises to be a terrific trilogy. First, some background: at the age of sixteen, McKenzie Lewis began seeing things and beings she could not explain, soon learning that she was experiencing the Fae. Prized for her ability as a human with the Sight, and also because she could read shadows and map where the Fae fissure (travel) to, McKenzie was kidnapped by a false-blood Fae seeking to overthrow the king. Rescued by Kyol, the Fae king's swordmaster, McKenzie agreed to work for the Court.
When The Shadow Reader begins, ten years have passed, McKenzie having worked for the Fae Court in exchange for them paying her living expenses. Having made up her mind to retire and live a normal life, especially since Kyol has made it clear that the two of them can never be together, McKenzie tries once again to take the final for her last class fulfilling the requirements for her English degree. In the middle of the exam, Kyol shows up, telling McKenzie she must go with him as the rebels have located her. When their escape goes awry, McKenzie ends up as a captive of the rebels, whose leader, Aren, proves quite different than she expects. While the rebels attempt various means to employ McKenzie's help, she learns that not everything she has believed for the past ten years regarding the Fae wars may be true.
The intricate world-building regarding the Fae gets experienced seemingly first-hand by the reader thanks to the imagery Williams utilizes in this excellent novel. Likewise, the intriguing, distinct characters, primary and secondary, add further dimension to the tale. Despite her numerous unsuccessful escape attempts and other missteps, McKenzie proves a very likeable protagonist, demonstrating the difficulties of a young woman literally caught between two worlds, discovering that she does not really fit in either–at least not initially. With its notable balance between story, world, and character, The Shadow Reader will appeal to fans of all types of fantasy, and will have readers racing to get book two, The Shattered Dark.

If you're in the market for a vacation spot in sunny Italy (and who isn't, after all) you might want to check into the Venetian Island of Poveglia.
If you're not scared off by its reputation for being the most haunted place in the world, that is.
The 17-acre deserted island in the Venetian lagoon is going on the auction block next month, part of an Italian effort to pay off some public debt. The property has many selling points, including beautiful scenery and a location only 10 minutes away from downtown Venice.
But Poveglia's history might give a real estate agent fits.
During the plague in the 19th century, the island served as a dumping ground for the sick and dying. Then, in 1922, a hospital for the elderly, which many believed to be a mental institution, opened. The island's buildings, many nothing more than decaying heaps, are filled with old furniture, trash and even medical equipment.
The Italian saying "when an evil man dies, he wakes up in Poveglia," is about the nicest thing people have said about the place. Other rumors - that the soil is made up of 50 percent human ash and that people who have visited the place recently have been possessed - are even more sinister.
The island has been abandoned for 50 years but the Italian government is offering a 99-year lease on the place. They won't release the price, but who knows? Maybe a couple of hundred thousand and you'd stand more than a ghost of a chance to call it your own.
Just don't expect many of your friends to come and visit.

In this poster we present our recent results in designing and testing optimal shaped pupil coronagraphs. we show a variety of optimal pupils shapes and describe their performance in inner working distance, discovery space, and integration time. We discuss the tradeoffs in utilizing different approaches. We also present our early results in manufacturing and testing a shaped pupil mask. We produced a 1 inch mask using electroforming processes for less than $10,000 that meets the requirements of a TPF quality coronagraph. We will present the results of metrology on the mask confirming it meets specifications and will show early optical performance results in the laboratory.
This research was supported by the NASA TPF program.

It may be worth pointing out that one of the reasons Optimum online performed so well is that they offer one of the best high speed services (upload/download throughput) out there. As such, with all that bandwdith, it helps to minimize issues sometimes associated with low uplaod speeds or network congestion with other service providers.
I wonder how well for example Packet8 or Sun Rocket would have done when reviewed only over the Optimum Online network.
Unfortunately, users who have slow network connections or poor service providers (contributing to packet loss) will negatively impact these pure play VoIP providers even though it's the ISP's fault not necesarily there's.
I was a bit suprised by the findings since Packet8 for example recently won Network Computing's Editor's Choice Award, where VoIP providers were compared on a level playing field.
Jus thought I'd bring up the point.

Second baseman Chase Utley, shortstop Jimmy Rollins, third baseman Placido Polanco and outfielders Shane Victorino and Jayson Werth are all leading races at their positions. Two others -- first baseman Ryan Howard and catcher Carlos Ruiz -- are second among their peers.
Utley is running laps around the field of second baseman, tallying 687,724 votes -- the most in either league. Milwaukee's Rickie Weeks is a distant second in a field of few household names with just 169,941 votes.
Some other second basemen of note: Atlanta's Martin Prado, who leads the National League with 56 hits; Arizona's Kelly Johnson, who is tied for the league lead with 12 home runs; and former Harrisburg Senator Brandon Phillips, who received votes for the 2007 NL Most Valuable Player award and won a Gold Glove in 2008.
Rollins' place at the top of his position is a little more shaky, having played in just 12 of the Phillies' 43 games. His closest competition, though, is Florida's Hanley Ramirez, the reigning NL batting champion who has generated negative headlines over the last week for lack of hustle and leadership. Next in line is Milwaukee rookie Alcides Escobar, who is hitting .242 with 5 triples - tied for most in the NL.
Polanco (309,458 votes) has been a revelation in his return to Philadelphia. A two-time Gold Glover as a second baseman for the Detroit Tigers, he's moved to the hot corner, where he has the best fielding percentage (.972) in the NL. He's also arguably the most productive No. 2 hitter in the league, leading all players from that lineup position with 21 RBIs.
New York's David Wright, who has played in the last four straight All-Star games, is in close pursuit of Polanco with 236,387 votes. Other notable names at a deep position: Milwaukee's Casey McGehee, who has the second-most RBIs (39) in the majors; San Francisco's Pablo Sandoval, whose 'Kung Fu Panda' nickname has to be the coolest in baseball; and Atlanta's Chipper Jones, who should get an All-Star bid on tenure alone.
Werth and Victorino rank Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, in voting among outfielders. Milwaukee's Ryan Braun leads the field with 423,834 votes.
Any number of outfielders could rise and take starting jobs, so this race bears watching. Atlanta's rookie phenom Jason Heyward has matched the immense hype coming out of spring training, and he's been recognized by fans with 304,547 votes, sixth-most at the position.
Los Angeles Dodgers teammates Andre Ethier (No. 4) and Matt Kemp (No. 7) are two of the most gifted outfielders in baseball. The same can be said of Arizona's Justin Upton, who has struggled to a .269 average, and St. Louis' Colby Rasmus, whose up-and-down season has yielded a .269 average, 24 walks and a solid .385 on-base percentage.
Phillies' left fielder Raul Ibanez is also in contention for a second straight All-Star appearance with 248,450 votes, eighth-most at the position. With a hot month of June, Ibanez could either enter the conversation for a starting nod or make it easy for manager Charlie Manuel to hand him a spot on the All-Star roster as a reserve.

Come Heller high water...
- Well, what do you know -- the blind squirrel theory IS true. They do find nuts on occasion. And so it was this week with the Flint City Council, which fumbled its way to the right
decision by naming a 22-year-old kid to its vacant seat instead of a chestnut from councils
past.Good for you, folks, good for you. I don't know anything about Delrico Loyd, but the old guard in this town has failed to accomplish much. Time to give the young a whack at it.
- By the way, good luck, kid. You're gonna need it. One bit of advice: Avoid voting blocs. That's what stalls things at City Hall, and in Congress for that matter. Think for yourself and let no one change you.
- By the way, let me just say this here: Get well, Don. It ain't Flint withoutcha.
- I don't share this sentiment, but some people are miffed at The Don's choice of McLaren over Hurley, saying it's a slight to the city's own hospital. I figure when you're sick, you go where you please and it's nobody's bidness.
- Blog comment of the week honors go to Chirp1962, who posted this first-person tongue-in-cheek reply to my equally tongue-in-cheek poll question about New Year's resolution the president should make: "At the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve, in a blinding moment of clarity, I suddenly realized how badly I've destroyed our great country with my ignorance and self-will run riot. Therefore, following the example of Richard Nixon, another disgraced president
who came before me, I hereby resolve to resign from my office of the presidency."
- Ouch. That ought to stir 'em up. For playing, Chirp wins this week's copy of "Saving the World One Column at a Time." Want one of your own? Then you gotta blog with me. It's a growing community of sassy, opinionated wannabe columnists, with new content each and every weekday.
- Currently, I'm experimenting with what I call a "monoblog." It's one part late night-esque monologue, one part blog, which equals monoblog. Check it out.
- It's a bit raw but fun. Here are a few examples: "Meanwhile, in France, customs officials intercepted 224,000 fake pills of Viagra and Cialis, and I guess there are more out there
on the market. Bob Dole is NOT going to be pleased about this.
"And finally, on a trip to the Middle East this week, Prince Charles was given an Arabian horse as a wedding gift. He was a bit confused, though. He looked at it and said, "Camilla?"
- Um, sorry. I know that was mean, but comedy ain't pretty.
- "If you want to get a good idea, get a lot of ideas" -- Linus Pauling (1901-1994) Nobel Prize winner.

INTERVIEW: Comedian Jordan Pease Looks Great In Purple Skivies Despite His Love For "Twinkies"
Queerty had a chance to chat with up-and-coming queer stand-up comedian and author, Jordan Pease, seen here in his tight purple American Apparel undies. Surely, he's gone through several three packs while spending the past seven months touring the country.
We talked to the funny guy over Skype. He's currently in Southern California taking a break between shows.
We managed to chat about everything from Twinkies (the junk food, not the boys), to his current tour, to his alarming number of recent heterosexual sex dreams.
After an eight month hiatus, Twinkies are making a comeback. They're back on store shelves as of Monday.
I am a Twinkie fiend. There's something comforting about the word Twinkie. I don't know if it's because I'm gay and I'm used to hearing "twink." I remember in high school we did this study in Chemistry class where we left Twinkies unwrapped for six months. And after six months, rats still wouldn't eat the Twinkies because they had such awful chemicals and preservatives in them. I, on the other hand, will chew through the wrapper of a Twinkie.
You seem to wear a number of different hats. You're a comedian, an author, an occasional rabble rouser. How would you describe yourself in just a few words?
I am a prostitute to the world of comedy. If I'm not on the road bouncing from New York to Texas to L.A., I'm writing for another comedian.
You've been on a seemingly endless tour. How's that going?
It's nonstop. I feel like I'm going through menopause. I'm tired, I'm irritable, I'm constantly having hot flashes, but I love it. I love being on the road. There's something so comforting about it. Like a Twinkie.
What's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to you at a show?
Not too long ago I did a show in Ontario, California and a woman and her husband came up to me and asked if I wanted to have a three-some with them.
Did you go through with it?
No. I was all nervous and sweating and like "This is my card. This is my e-mail address. We'll try and figure something out." Then I ran for the van.
Any other crazy things happen?
I got banned from an Econo Lodge in Portland. It was me and two other comics. We tried to hotbox the bathroom thinking that the smoke alarms wouldn't go off. They ended up busting through our door. It was so over the top.
That's a really good segue into my next question, because I wanted to get your opinion on some current celebrity events and my first question was about Miley Cyrus. She recently admitted that she loves smoking pot. Would you ever get high with her?
Oh my god. I can't wait until I'm famous enough to party with Miley Cyrus. She's hitting the game hard right now. Her new music video made me a little nervous. By the looks of her, I'd say she's hitting more of the cocaine than the weed lately.
The Disney princess has gone wild.
My dream is to hang out with Miley Cyrus and make her hit rock bottom. That could be my career high: Hitting rock bottom with Miley Cyrus.
Speaking of rock bottom, Lindsay Lohan is in court-appointed rehab right now.
I feel like mosquitos probably bite Lindsay Lohan and get wasted. What credit card company has not blocked her credit limit yet for all these rehab facilities?
Is there any female celebrity you would turn straight for?
Do you know what's so weird? I have been having ridiculous amounts of heterosexual sex dreams and it's scaring the shit out of me. It must be all the Advil PM I took while I was on tour. And do you know who they're constantly with?
Lana del Rey. I see her and I'm like: "I would hit it." I know that's the filthiest thing ever, but I think she's gorgeous. I like how she has this curvy, awesome body and she's kind of filthy. All her lyrics are about doing cocaine and getting hit up in the ass. I just feel like having sex with her would be kind of like having sex with Marilyn Monroe.
Follow Jordan on Twitter @jordanpease1.
I think I'm in love with him.
Cute guy, cute ink, seems amusing despite twinkie fixation. Score?
@stfallon1028: he can eat my twinkie ha
I've seen him live at Flappers in Burbank. So funny. So cute. He told me if he liked women we would be a couple :)
read Accidentally Okay on kindle. What 22 year old writes a memoir? But he knows what he's talking about. He uses such amazing imagery I laughed and cried like 13 times. STALKING HIM ON TWITTER NOW yesssssssssss
miley cyrus lol I want to be that twizzler. This is a funny article
this made me smile. I know him! He is basically walking party 24/7 I met him and his friend at a kesha concert. We were sneaking into box seats at The Hollywood Bowl together. He was running from security in a Unicorn mask most of the night. It was hysterical. I can't believe I randomly came across this. so happy for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wild child
@writerfab31: If he actually ate it I am sure that would be quite painful

The debate over the paucity of engineers available for highly skilled design and manufacturing jobs in the U.S. has been raging for years. I've seen fingers pointed at causes ranging from the dreary image of manufacturing work and American pop culture to lackluster academic preparation and a sense of capitulation to the rising economies of the Eastern hemisphere that churn out technicians and engineers en masse.
But in the past week I've run across some explanations that may get closer to the heart of the matter. One of these reports, titled "Why would-be engineers end up as English majors", appeared on CNN's Website. The point of the story was that the way we educate engineers is rooted in such a strong sink-or-swim mentality that many high-potential students drop out too early because there is no support from academia or the engineering community to get them over the initial hurdles and keep them on track to become engineers.
One student at the University of Illinois at Chicago recalled: "The first thing the (professor) told us was, 'You should expect to see this class dwindle down as the semester goes on.' It was the first thing they told us."
Driving this message, according to the article, is the way in which science and math programs are designed to literally thin the ranks of students who enter the programs. A major component of this is that university systems tend to reward professors who conduct research and publish papers more highly than they reward those who teach effectively.
I understand the arguments that can be made in support of the current process: engineering and science are tough. Those students who can't hack it should get out of the way to make room for those who have greater innate instincts for technological subject matter. After all, the Chinese aren't cutting their students any slack.
The reality is that Western culture is simply different. Maybe one day we'll become as hard-nosed as the Chinese when it comes to relentless studying techniques, but it won't happen any time soon and it won't come without accompanying detriments to creativity — at which we tend to excel.
Somewhere between the relentless pressures of the East and the laissez-faire attitudes in the West lies the answer. Ultimate expectations need to remain on par with the Eastern mindset, but the nurturing and cultivation of potential from the West needs to be just as hard coded into the process.
After all, if Einstein — a true underachiever in academic math and science — hadn't lived in an age when he could easily support himself as a menial patent office clerk while he worked on theories so far advanced it took most of the world decades to even begin to comprehend, where would be today?
I believe the world continues to produce numerous Einsteins. The problem is that we expect them all to develop their expertise on their own, as Einstein did. A little more nurturing from industry and academia could go a long way toward developing the next Einsteins.

M. Sremcevic, F. Spahn (Inst. of Physics, Univ. of Potsdam, Germany)
We investigate the action of small moons embedded in dense planetary rings. A previously developed model, which includes collisional viscous diffusion of ring granular matter and gravitational scattering by the moon, is extended through analytic solution and scalings of stationary density structures induced by the moon.
Depending on the size of the moonlet and properties of the ring, two types of density structures are induced by the presence of the embedded body: a gap around a whole circumference of the ring and an S-shaped structure centered at the moon's position. Critical radius of the embedded satellite, needed to open the gap in Saturn's B ring, is found to be Rc \approx 1.5 km. A new analytic solution is derived and the process is investigated using Green's functions. Then, throw distance (azimuthal size of structure) is calculated and analyzed. Structures are radially narrow and very elongated along the circumference of the ring, but their size offers the chance to be resolved in future Cassini experiments in the saturnian system. High resolution observations, mostly the Imaging experiment, can be used to probe Saturn's rings and reveal properties of actual ring matter, such as kinematic viscosity.

Hey little pink
What do you think
You're a long time making up your mind
I used to think
You were the prettiest little thing
Ever the sun shone on
You can't find love in a band of gold
His eyes be blue or brown
Til he's at the top of the gallows
Crying baby come get me down
I never will marry
No logging man
Or a man who drives a four horse team
I'd rather marry
A railroad man
who drives his wheels by steam
15 cents
is all the money that I got
a dollar is all I crave
15 cents
and some good ol morphine
to carry me to my grave

Alex Garza, former drama instructor at Coastal Bend College and current drama instructor at Dilly High School in Dilly, is the workshop teacher. He is being assisted by Thomas Brewer, a drama and music student at Coastal Bend College. The week-long workshop will end at noon on Saturday, July 24, at the conclusion of the play performance by the workshop students.
The play, "It All Began with a Little Blue Spot on His Forehead," is an original play written by Garza. Several years ago, the play was selected by the Texas Theatre Education Association and performed at the annual convention.
Students enrolled in the workshop auditioned on Monday and have been selected to play the following roles: Sydnie Maguire, Polly/Dr. Peel; Chelsi Johnson, Mom; Alex Fernandez, Dad/Christopher; Asa Neal Alien 1; Valerie Velasco, Alien 2; Raeanna Kempf, Alien 3; Gia Vela, Alien 4; Loren Flores, Grandma. Two roles that require older actors will be played by Thomas Brewer and Alex Garza. Thomas Brewer will play Trevor and Alex Garza will play Dr. Short.
The play will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 24, at 305 N. Washington St. The public is invited to attend this free performance.
The Rialto Theater Children's Workshop is partially funded by the Joe Barnhart Foundation.

LANSING -- Michigan faces a budget deficit of at least $300 million next year and its economy will be weaker than expected, more bad news in a state that had to raise taxes last year to balance the books.
Lawmakers were briefed on the bleak financial picture Wednesday. Reasons for the projected budget shortfall include a sluggish economy, struggling housing market, the federal economic stimulus plan and newly enacted state tax subsidies luring Hollywood to make movies in Michigan, said Gary Olson, director of the nonpartisan Senate Fiscal Agency.
"There's really not much good news in the forecast," Olson told members of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Compared with forecasts made in January, the U.S. and Michigan economies will be weaker than expected both this year and next. Inflation is expected to be higher, income growth slower and employment lower than anticipated. State tax revenues will fall $550 million short of projections for the budget that starts Oct. 1.
One bright spot is that it appears there is enough money so legislators and Gov. Jennifer Granholm can avoid having to make mid-year spending cuts to K-12 public schools and other government services in the existing budget running through Sept. 30.
"We're actually in decent shape considering where we've been in the last few years," said Sen. Michael Switalski of Roseville, the top-ranking Democrat on the Appropriations Committee.
The House and Senate fiscal agencies and Gov. Jennifer Granholm's administration will meet Friday to revise how much revenue state government can expect to collect this budget year and next.
The House Fiscal Agency was more optimistic than the Senate in its forecast released earlier in the week, estimating the state treasury next year will take in $424 million less than expected.
Olson on Wednesday estimated a potential $300 million deficit in the next budget. That is assuming there is some leftover money from the current budget, state revenue-sharing aid is not increased for local governments, tobacco settlement payments to the state are withheld pending a dispute and the Legislature spends less than what Granholm proposed in her budget, he said.
Even then, Olson said, spending cuts are looming for the 2008-09 budget. Granholm already has ruled out higher taxes.
The Senate has approved giving K-12 schools an increase of $71 to $142 per student, depending on the school district, and using about another $19 to $20 per student to spend on buildings. Unless legislators find a way to offset a shortfall in the School Aid Fund, they may have to give schools less of an increase -- ranging from a $28 to $56 per pupil or $40 to $80 per pupil, Olson said.
While some of Michigan's budget struggles can be blamed on the economy, some also stem from policy decisions.
Federal rebate checks sent to taxpayers to boost the economy will increase casino taxes, lottery revenue and sales tax revenue. But because the new Michigan Business Tax is linked to federal taxable income and businesses will claim an acceleration in depreciation under the stimulus plan, the budget will see a net loss of $127 million over two budget years.
A new refundable tax credit aimed at boosting the film industry will cost the state another $110 million next budget year.
Olson said the incentives will be "wildly successful" but added there is "no way" any increased economic activity from making movies and TV shows will offset the checks cut to studios for their production costs.
The housing market is hurting property values, which affects how much goes to schools through the state education property tax. The state also is getting hurt because fewer homes are being bought and sold, translating into less in real estate transfer taxes. Revenue from the transfer tax next year could be down 52 percent from its peak in the 2003-04 fiscal year.

This will run one copy of my_mpi_application on every CPU in the current LAM universe. Alternatively, "N" can be used in place of "C", indicating that one copy of my_mpi_application should be run on every node (as opposed to CPU) in the current LAM universe. Finally:
can be used to tell LAM to explicitly run four copies of my_mpi_application, scheduling in a round-robin fashion by CPU in the LAM universe. See the rest of this page for more details, particularly the "Location Nomenclature" section.
Additionally, mpirun will send the name of the directory where it was invoked on the local node to each of the remote nodes, and attempt to change to that directory. See the "Current Working Directory" section, below.
Note that LAM effectively numbers MPI_COMM_WORLD ranks from left-to-right in the <where>, regardless of which nomenclature is used. This can be important because typical MPI programs tend to communicate more with their immediate neighbors (i.e., myrank +/- X) than distant neighbors. When neighbors end up on the same node, the shmem RPIs can be used for communication rather than the network RPIs, which can result in faster MPI performance.
Specifying locations by node will launch one copy of an executable per specified node. Using a capitol "N" tells LAM to use all available nodes that were lambooted (see lamboot(1)). Ranges of specific nodes can also be specified in the form "nR[,R]*", where R specifies either a single node number or a valid range of node numbers in the range of [0, num_nodes). For example:
Specifying by CPU is the preferred method of launching MPI jobs. The intent is that the boot schema used with lamboot(1) will indicate how many CPUs are available on each node, and then a single, simple mpirun command can be used to launch across all of them. As noted above, specifying CPUs does not actually bind processes to CPUs -- it is only a convenience mechanism for launching on SMPs. Otherwise, the by-CPU notation is the same as the by-node notation, except that "C" and "c" are used instead of "N" and "n".
Assume in the following example that the LAM universe consists of four 4-way SMPs. So c0-3 are on n0, c4-7 are on n1, c8-11 are on n2, and 13-15 are on n3.
The reason that the by-CPU nomenclature is preferred over the by-node nomenclature is best shown through example. Consider trying to run the first CPU example (with the same MPI_COMM_WORLD mapping) with the by-node nomenclature -- run one copy of a.out for every available CPU, and maximize the number of local neighbors to potentially maximize MPI performance. One solution would be to use the following command:
This works, but is definitely klunky to type. It is typically easier to use the by-CPU notation. One might think that the following is equivalent:
This is not equivalent because the MPI_COMM_WORLD rank mappings will be assigned by node rather than by CPU. Hence rank 0 will be on n0, rank 1 will be on n1, etc. Note that the following, however, is equivalent, because LAM interprets lack of a <where> as "C":
However, a "C" can tend to be more convenient, especially for batch-queuing scripts because the exact number of processes may vary between queue submissions. Since the batch system will determine the final number of CPUs available, having a generic script that effectively says "run on everything you gave me" may lead to more portable / re-usable scripts.
Finally, it should be noted that specifying multiple <where> clauses are perfectly acceptable. As such, mixing of the by-node and by-CPU syntax is also valid, albiet typically not useful. For example:
However, in some cases, specifying multiple <where> clauses can be useful. Consider a parallel application where MPI_COMM_WORLD rank 0 will be a "manager" and therefore consume very few CPU cycles because it is usually waiting for "worker" processes to return results. Hence, it is probably desirable to run one "worker" process on all available CPUs, and run one extra process that will be the "manager":
LAM looks for an application schema in three directories: the local directory, the value of the LAMAPPLDIR environment variable, and laminstalldir/boot, where "laminstalldir" is the directory where LAM/MPI was installed.
LAM directs UNIX standard output and error to the LAM daemon on all remote nodes. LAM ships all captured output/error to the node that invoked mpirun and prints it on the standard output/error of mpirun. Local processes inherit the standard output/error of mpirun and transfer to it directly.
Thus it is possible to redirect standard I/O for LAM applications by using the typical shell redirection procedure on mpirun.
Note that in this example only the local node (i.e., the node where mpirun was invoked from) will receive the stream from my_input on stdin. The stdin on all the other nodes will be tied to /dev/null. However, the stdout from all nodes will be collected into the my_output file.
The -f option avoids all the setup required to support standard I/O described above. Remote processes are completely directed to /dev/null and local processes inherit file descriptors from lamboot(1).
By default, LAM/MPI only installs a signal handler for one signal in user programs (SIGUSR2 by default, but this can be overridden when LAM is configured and built). Therefore, it is safe for users to install their own signal handlers in LAM/MPI programs (LAM notices death-by-signal cases by examining the process' return status provided by the operating system).
User signal handlers should probably avoid trying to cleanup MPI state -- LAM is neither thread-safe nor async-signal-safe. For example, if a seg fault occurs in MPI_SEND (perhaps because a bad buffer was passed in) and a user signal handler is invoked, if this user handler attempts to invoke MPI_FINALIZE, Bad Things could happen since LAM/MPI was already "in" MPI when the error occurred. Since mpirun will notice that the process died due to a signal, it is probably not necessary (and safest) for the user to only clean up non-MPI state.
If the -sigs option is used with mpirun, LAM/MPI will install several signal handlers to locally on each rank to catch signals, print out error messages, and kill the rest of the MPI application. This is somewhat redundant behavior since this is now all handled by mpirun, but it has been left for backwards compatability.
The status of each process is printed out, one per line, in the following format:
If killed is 1, then status is the signal number. If killed is 0, then status is the exit status of the process.
The default prefix_string is "mpirun:", but the -p option can be used override this string.
The -wd option to mpirun allows the user to change to an arbitrary directory before their program is invoked. It can also be used in application schema files to specify working directories on specific nodes and/or for specific applications.
If the -wd option appears both in a schema file and on the command line, the schema file directory will override the command line value.
The -D option will change the current working directory to the directory where the executable resides. It cannot be used in application schema files. -wd is mutually exclusive with -D.
If neither -wd nor -D are specified, the local node will send the directory name where mpirun was invoked from to each of the remote nodes. The remote nodes will then try to change to that directory. If they fail (e.g., if the directory does not exists on that node), they will start with from the user's home directory.
All directory changing occurs before the user's program is invoked; it does not wait until MPI_INIT is called.
Additionally, the -x option to mpirun can be used to export specific environment variables to the new processes. While the syntax of the -x option allows the definition of new variables, note that the parser for this option is currently not very sophisticated - it does not even understand quoted values. Users are advised to set variables in the environment and use -x to export them; not to define them.
The -O switch used to be necessary to indicate to LAM whether the mulitcomputer was homogeneous or not. LAM now automatically determines whether a given MPI job is homogeneous or not. The -O flag will silently be accepted for backwards compatability, but it is ignored.
The -ssi switch takes two arguments: <key> and <value>. The <key> argument generally specifies which SSI module will receive the value. For example, the <key> "rpi" is used to select which RPI to be used for transporting MPI messages. The <value> argument is the value that is passed. For example:
And so on. LAM's RPI SSI modules are described in lamssi_rpi(7).
The -ssi switch can be used multiple times to specify different <key> and/or <value> arguments. If the same <key> is specified more than once, the <value>s are concatenated with a comma (",") separating them.
Note that the -ssi switch is simply a shortcut for setting environment variables. The same effect may be accomplished by setting corresponding environment variables before running mpirun. The form of the environment variables that LAM sets are: LAM_MPI_SSI_<key>=<value>.
Note that the -ssi switch overrides any previously set environment variables. Also note that unknown <key> arguments are still set as environment variable -- they are not checked (by mpirun) for correctness. Illegal or incorrect <value> arguments may or may not be reported -- it depends on the specific SSI module.
The -ssi switch obsoletes the old -c2c and -lamd switches. These switches used to be relevant because LAM could only have two RPI's available at a time: the lamd RPI and one of the C2C RPIs. This is no longer true -- all RPI's are now available and choosable at run-time. Selecting the lamd RPI is shown in the examples above. The -c2c switch has no direct translation since "C2C" used to refer to all other RPI's that were not the lamd RPI. As such, -ssi rpi <value> must be used to select the specific desired RPI (whether it is "lamd" or one of the other RPI's).
Start one copy of "my_application" on each available CPU. The number of available CPUs on each node was previously specified when LAM was booted with lamboot(1). As noted above, mpirun will schedule adjoining rank in MPI_COMM_WORLD on the same node where possible. For example, if n0 has a CPU count of 8, and n1 has a CPU count of 4, mpirun will place MPI_COMM_WORLD ranks 0 through 7 on n0, and 8 through 11 on n1. This tends to maximize on-node communication for many parallel applications; when used in conjunction with the multi-protocol network/shared memory RPIs in LAM (see the RELEASE_NOTES and INSTALL files with the LAM distribution), overall communication performance can be quite good. Also disable pseudo-tty support, change directory to /work/output, and export the DISPLAY variable to the new processes (perhaps my_application will invoke an X application such as xv to display output).
However, note that if the -nw switch is used, the return value from mpirun does not indicate the exit status of the ranks.

FREDONIA - Matt McCarthy's 24-yard touchdown run with 11:22 left in the fourth quarter was the difference Friday night as Fredonia won, 28-21, over Southwestern in another exciting game between the two Class C South football rivals.
"We needed a contest like this," Fredonia coach Mike Marshall said. "We get big leads and we get them early, and the guys get complacent and think it's the way it's going to be. (Friday) is the way it's going to be."
Down 21-7 at halftime, Southwestern opened the third quarter with an onside kick, which it recovered at Fredonia's 48-yard line. Eight plays later, Noah Weinstein hit paydirt from 7 yards out to cut the Hillbillies' lead to 21-13.

Feeling like they were playing with house money, the Trojans again went with an onside kick and again recovered, this time at the Hillbillies' 38-yard line. They needed just one play as Hunter Peterson rushed up the middle and then broke to the left sideline for 38 yards for the touchdown.
"We had nothing to lose," Southwestern coach Jay Sirianni said of the onside kick to start the second half. "We weren't supposed to win this game, so why not? Let's put them in a bind and let's put the pressure back on them, and we got it the first time and we said, 'Why not?' Let's do it again."
Weinstein found Josh Ulinger for the two-point conversion to tie the game 21-all with 7:53 left in the third quarter.
"I think the bounces just went Southwestern's way," Marshall said of the onside kicks. "We had been practicing onside kicks, but not to that extreme. They were perfect. They rolled and the one had to have a 10-foot bounce."
The Hillbillies built a 21-0 first-half lead, scoring 14 points off three Trojans' turnovers.
"Knock on wood," Marshall said. "We were able to take advantage of a couple of (Southwestern's) mistakes and we were able to score on them. You have to be able to score if you're going to go anywhere in this league. You have to take advantage of other team's mistakes."
"We just don't take care of the football," Sirianni said. "It's just unbelievable where we are in the turnover margin."
After Cam Voss fell on a loose ball with 7:13 left in the first quarter, the Hillbillies needed just five plays to find the end zone, as McCarthy scored from 9 yards out.
"It's not acceptable," Sirianni said of the turnovers. "The turnovers aren't acceptable. It's unbelievable what we're doing right now not taking care of the football. Our kids fight and scrap too hard to do that."
After forcing the Trojans to go three-and-out on their next drive, the Hillbillies took over at the Southwestern 45-yard line. Three plays later, John Piper found Weston Ley on a swing pass which the senior took 37 yards to the end zone with 3:57 left in the opening quarter.
On Southwestern's next drive, Weinstein failed to hold on to his center's snap and Fredonia's Jake Rinus recovered at the Hillbillies' 16-yard line.
Four plays later, Ley found Dylan Meyer racing down the left sideline for 61 yards and the touchdown.
"We had wanted Dylan to come out at the beginning of the season," Marshall said. "It took him a while to decide and he came out. This was the first game he was eligible, but you can see that out on the basketball court what his natural ability is. And we thought we could take advantage of that in this situation and we hope we can continue to do it in the future."
"We're very considerate," Sirianni said. "We love to give, but we don't get any takeaways. That's the story of the game. Our kids just played a fantastic game and Fredonia is a lights-out team. They have that quick-score capability and they have so many weapons all over the field."
Hunter Peterson scored from 14-yards out with 3:51 left in the first half to get the Trojans on the board.
"I have faith in my team," Sirianni said. "We have faith in our guys. The last couple of weeks we've played, we've gotten better as the game's gone on. And we've seen that, we just can't start so slow. We can't get behind and have to play catch up. I'm proud of the way our kids played, but we can do better."
