Whether you are exploring mountains of geological data, researching solutions to complex scientific problems, or racing to model fast-moving financial markets, you need a computing platform that delivers the highest throughput and lowest latency possible. GPU-accelerated clusters and workstations are widely recognized for providing the tremendous horsepower required by compute-intensive workloads. Compute-intensive applications can provide even faster results with NVIDIA GPUDirect™.
Using GPUDirect, multiple GPUs, third party network adapters, solid-state drives (SSDs) and other devices can directly read and write CUDA host and device memory, eliminating unnecessary memory copies, dramatically lowering CPU overhead, and reducing latency, resulting in significant performance improvements in data transfer times for applications running on NVIDIA Tesla™ and Quadro™ products
GPUDirect includes a family of technologies that is continuously being evolved to increase performance and expand it's usability. First introduced in June 2010, GPUDirect Shared Access supports accelerated communication with third party PCI Express device drivers via shared pinned host memory. In 2011, the release of GPUDirect Peer to Peer added support for Transfers and direct load and store Access between GPUs on the same PCI Express root complex. Announced in 2013, GPU Direct RDMA enables third party PCI Express devices to directly access GPU bypassing CPU host memory altogether.
For more technical information, see the GPUDirect Technology Overview.
The diagrams below show how GPUDirect technologies work.
GPUDirect™ Support for RDMA, Introduced with CUDA 5 (2012)
NVIDIA GPUDirect Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Communication Between GPUs on the Same PCIe Bus (2011)
GPUDirect™ Shared Memory (2010)
GPUDirect accelerated communication with network and storage devices is supported on Tesla datacenter products running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Check the documentation for possible support on other Linux distributions.
GPUDirect peer-to-peer transfers and memory access are supported natively by the CUDA Driver. All you need is CUDA Toolkit v4.0 and R270 drivers (or later) and a system with two or more Fermi- or Kepler-architecture GPUs on the same PCIe bus. For more information on using GPUDirect communication in your applications, please see:
GPUDirect support for RDMA is available now in the latest CUDA Toolkit version 6 or later. You may also need to contact your InfiniBand or iWARP vendor and/or install updated drivers for adaptors using GPUDirect. Please use the links below or contact your InfiniBand or iWARP vendor directly:
Q: My company makes network adaptors / storage devices. How do we enable our products for GPUDirect?
A: Please contact us for more information at firstname.lastname@example.com
Q: Where can I get more information about GPUDirect support for RDMA?
A: API documentation for Linux driver developers interested in integrating RDMA support is available in the CUDA Toolkit and online.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This is a nice treat to serve with coffee or tea and, unlike many apple desserts or snacks, you'll find that these squares travel well. That makes them a perfect candidate for a morning meeting or an evening pot luck supper. The squares are like an apple slice, but they have a firm bottom and are less sweet. The squares, which can be eaten out of hand, are a cross between a cake and a cookie and those of you who like natural apple flavor will enjoy the simplicity of this treat. The cake/cookie has a buttery base and a layer of apples that are covered with apricot jam and topped with a thick layer of crumbs. The recipe appeared in Family Circle magazine and the first time I made the squares I thought they needed a bit of a flavor boost. I increased the amount of salt used in the cookie base and doubled the amount of preserves used to brush the apples. I also played a bit with the extracts and the amount of pie spice used in the recipe. This is a very simple and homely dessert. If you like streusel and apples, chances are you'll enjoy these squares, They are fast and easy to make. I do not think they are particularly good keepers, but if they are stored in an airtight container dessert they will last for a day or two. They tend to get soggy as they age. Here's how they are made.
Apple Crumb Squares...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Family Circle magazine
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled, halved and thinly sliced
1/3 to 1/2 cup apricot preserves, melted and strained
Crumb Topping
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup light-brown sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin or apple pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons confectioners sugar
1) Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 15 x 10 x 1-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2) Beat together butter and sugar until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in almond and vanilla extracts. On low speed, beat in flour and salt until just blended. Spread evenly into prepared pan.
3) Fan apple slices over top, then brush with preserves. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.
4) To make crumb topping: Whisk together flour, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Stir in the butter until mixture is moistened and clumps together. Sprinkle evenly over cake. Bake for an additional 35 minutes. Remove pan to wire rack; cool completely.
5) Dust with confectioners sugar and cut into 24 squares.

A very mellow, dark chocolate bar from Bonnat providing notes of violet and walnut. Very low acidity but quite sweet, surprisingly so for a 75% dark chocolate.
The Haiti offers a very low roast and again mild flavour for a 75% bar. Easy eating and suited to most tastes.
About Bonnat Chocolatier
The Bonnat family has been creating chocolates since 1884 from the town of Voiron in France. Bonnat is the oldest family-run chocolate company in France today and is steeped in history and thrives on its family traditions and nostalgia. Bonnat has changed very little along the way compared to many brands but has continued to expand the Bonnat brand throughout the world. It was Raymond Bonnat who in the early 1980's began the pioneering approach of making the single origin chocolate bars at Bonnat we see today. Many of these 'Grand Crus' have won prestigious awards around the world.

I really enjoyed this chocolate bar and I certainly got the violet note. The flavour reminded me of those small purple sweets you used to get - Palma Violets?. So subtly perfumed and not at all bitter to my taste. A new origin for me as well.
Posted Tue 10 May 2016 3.07pm by Michelle
Bonnat's Haiti bar is another mild tasting bar, considering its upper cocoa content of 75%. Packaged extremely well and arrived on time.

100 Years Ago
"L.B. Hawthorne, manager of the Arctic Ice and Storage Co. appeared before the Council, Monday evening, and asked that the Council take some action toward having the oil tanks, which are situated close to his ice plant, moved outside the city limits. The tanks, as was shown in the recent fire, when 6,000 gallons of oil burned in that section last Friday, are a menace to the factories and residences near there, he said, and should be moved. The Mayor promised that the matter should be given immediate attention."

"A proposal to rezone two lots on E. Holt St. from a multiple dwelling zone to a commercial zone received unanimous approval of the Mexico city council last night when first and second readings of the bill were heard. It will come up for final action Dec. 26. The action followed a public hearing on the proposed change. About a dozen persons were present with M.L. (Bob) Stephenson, owner of the property involved, and his attorney, Latney Barnes, speaking in favor of the change, and three other Holt St. property owners going on record as opposed to rezoning. Mr. Stephenson, who owns the adjoining lots on Liberty St.proposes to build a motel on the corner and has stated he needs the Holt St. lots rezoned for parking purposes."

With a population of about 33,600 Leavenworth has a $16 million city budget and more than 200 municipal employees. Mr. Pentz has been offered a first-year salary of $53,000, compared to the $42,696 he is receiving in Mexico."

Oregon state parks may curb smokers by 2014
SALEM — The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department is drawing up rules that could limit smokers to their personal and recreational vehicles.
The department's staff is working on proposals in expectation of getting them adopted by early 2014, the Salem Statesman Journal reported Tuesday.
The general recommendation from the staff is to permit smoking only in personal vehicles and RVs, said Chris Havel, a state parks spokesman.
An order from Gov. John Kitzhaber went into effect this month banning smoking and chewing tobacco along the perimeter of most state offices.
The governor's order gives some agencies, such as the parks department, until next year to write rules. The state Parks and Recreation Commission has to approve rule changes suggested by staffers. To follow the spirit of the governor's order, however, new restrictions on tobacco use at parks are almost a given.
"People can expect that something is going to come of this," Havel said.
The rules would apply to a T-shaped area around the Capitol that the department manages, he said.
"We'd handle that area the same way we handle any other state park," Havel said.
They also would apply to the state fairgrounds, year round and not just during the Oregon State Fair, he said.
Park rangers have the authority to cite visitors who violate the rules, but it's more common for them simply to ask for compliance, Havel said.
Local jurisdictions have also been working to curb smoking in parks. Around Salem, Stayton and Independence have approved smoke-free rules in city parks. In Dallas, the town's largest park has a designated smoking area, and other parks officially are smoke free.
In Salem itself, City Council member Diana Dickey proposed two years ago to make it unlawful to "smoke or carry any burning smoking instrument while in any park." Councilors voted down the ordinance.
"Some of the councilors felt it was a freedom issue," Dickey said. Concerns also were raised about the ability to enforce no-smoking rules.

By no means is data recovery a simple procedure. There is no magic software patch or program that can fix and recover data at a click of a button.

A good deal of the cases we receive, come to us after being previously sent to various fly-by-night firms. Of those cases many are not recoverable because they were improperly handled by the so called experts. These drives were powered on for hours in a defective state and opened up outside of a clean-room environment. Some cases came in with fingerprints on the platters. The very first attempt to recover data is the most important one and the best opportunity for success. Because of this, choosing the wrong company can have a grave impact on your recovery outcome.

A timeless comedy about timeless problems. Ivan Khlestakov arrives in a small provincial town and the local elite headed by the Mayor take him to be the heralded government inspector on a secret mission. Does he take bribes, or doesn't he? A question that not only thrills the characters from Gogol's Russian governorate but also still engages many of us when tackling everyday situations. "Five on the table in Czech" or bent football referees are just the tip of the corruption iceberg. In the Corruption Perceptions Index, issued annually by Transparency International, the Czech Republic ranks around 50th out of 159 countries, one of the worst scores among the EU 25. Citizens worldwide consider the most corrupt sectors of public life to be political parties, parliaments, the police and the judiciary. So, Khlestakov is on the take – and he's not the only one.
Drama in czech language.

Duration of the performance: 2 hours and 50 minutes, 1 intermission

On Friday, Morning Edition wraps up its weeklong look at the growing number of people who say they do not identify with a religion. The final conversation in the Losing Our Religion series picks up on a theme made clear throughout the week: Young adults are drifting away from organized religion in unprecedented numbers. In Friday's story, NPR's David Greene talks to two religious leaders about the trend and wonders what they tell young people who are disillusioned with the church.
According to the Pew Research Center, one-third of Americans under 30 have no religious affiliation. As Harvard professor Robert Putnam told Greene in the piece that kicked off the series, this trend among young people is tied to religion's association with socially conservative politics.
"I think the single most important reason for the rise of the unknowns is that combination of the younger people moving to the left on social issues and the most visible religious leaders moving to the right on that same issue."
Take Melissa Adelman, 30, a participant in a roundtable about religion that Greene had with six young adults. Adelman was raised Catholic but does not call herself one today because she cannot embrace the church's core beliefs on social issues.
"To me a church that would be welcoming would be one where there wasn't a male-only hierarchy that made all the rules, and there weren't these rules about who's excluded and who's included and what behavior is acceptable and what's not acceptable," she tells Greene.
In Friday's story, the Rev. Mike Baughman, a United Methodist minister who runs a Christian coffee shop in Dallas, tells Greene that the church is indeed sending the wrong message.
"If the church was known more for our efforts to welcome the stranger than keep them out, I think the church would have greater credibility with rising generations," says Baughman. "For example, on immigration policies, we've taken the wrong stance on that, and they know. The thing is they're smart enough. A lot of them have grown up in the church and then rejected it. They've read the scriptures that talk about the importance of welcoming the stranger, they've read the scriptures about the importance of caring for the poor, and when they see that no longer on the lips of those who are in religious authority, they see that the God we present is bankrupt, and that we're theologically thin in our ability to even speak our own story."
For Father Mike Surufka, a Catholic priest in the Franciscan order in Chicago, there are indeed issues that are fundamental to the church, but what seems to really matter is more granular: that the parishioner's spiritual needs are being met. For example, he says, he has counseled women in his congregation who have had abortions.
"I knew their pain, and I was not going to bring that to the pulpit," he says. His approach, he says, is to listen to them. "That has more transformative power than just about anything."
Despite the trend among young adults to reject organized religion, both Surufka and Baughman tell Greene that they are hopeful about the future of religions in America.
"I'm full of hope indeed," says Surufka. "There was a theologian from the mid-1900s who kind of described hope as an attitude toward the future that we cannot see, but we trust that somehow it's held by God and that there are possibilities beyond what we can even imagine."
Indeed, some of these so-called nones — dubbed this because they answer "none" when asked for their religious affiliation — have embarked on a quest to see if there's a place for some sort of organized religion in their lives. Writer and lifelong none Corinna Nicolaou, for example, admits she knows little about organized religions and wants to know more, so she has begun chronicling her visits to local places of worship. And in a recent Boston Magazine piece, Katherine Ozment describes her effort to find an organized secular and nonsecular community that makes sense now that she had kids.
Although the series winds down Friday, Morning Edition is likely to revisit the topic. Chuck Holmes, the show's supervising editor, says that as his team was planning the series, there were a lot of conversations about other aspects of religion that didn't end up getting airtime.
"So naturally that leads to more coverage," he says.
The Losing Our Religion series is here.
All this week, we've been hearing how more and more Americans, especially younger Americans, are moving away from organized religion. In a recent study from the Pew Research Center - found 20 percent of Americans say they have no religion. When it comes to young people, that number goes up to one in three. And one of the people we've heard from this week is Melissa Adelman. She grew up Catholic, and was taught by nuns in school.
Now, Melissa is 30 years old, and she no longer calls herself Catholic. She disagrees with the church on homosexuality, and she doesn't think the church gives women an equal role. We wondered what, if anything, would bring Melissa back.
MELISSA ADELMAN: To me, a church that would be welcoming would be one where there wasn't male-only hierarchy that made all the rules; and there weren't these rules about who's excluded and who's included, and what behavior is acceptable and what's not acceptable.
GREENE: She was speaking to us for our series "Losing Our Religion." Now, after hearing from Melissa and other young people, we reached out to two religious leaders. Reverend Mike Baughman is a United Methodist minister who runs a Christian coffee shop in Dallas. Father Mike Surufka is a Catholic priest in the Franciscan order, in Chicago. I asked Father Surufka what he could do to make someone like Melissa feel welcome again.
THE REV. MIKE SURUFKA: Well, I know there's some things I can't do. (LAUGHTER) There are some things that are simply, at this point, not changeable.
GREENE: Like what?
SURUFKA: I, personally, am not able to ordain women, for example. That's not within my realm. I think if Melissa were to come to me pastorally and want a conversation, I would begin by asking her what it is that she's seeking. We already know what her stumbling blocks are, but underneath that is a journey that keeps her moving. You can only stumble if you're moving. All of us are sort of like chipped pieces of porcelain, working our way through this. And if she can feel that I can accept her as she is, and I can invite her to accept me as I am, and our church as it is; if we can come to that point, then I think we have a different way of constructing the dialogue than simply saying, I have an objection to the church on this point. It's just not a helpful starting point.
GREENE: Let me ask you, Reverend Baughman - in speaking to a lot of these younger people, a lot of them spoke about just in general, feeling like politics and social issues have just made them not feel good about any organized religion today. I wonder if you have some of those conversations with people in your community, and what you tell them.
REV. MIKE BAUGHMAN: What I find is that the young folks I have conversations with, don't actually want the church not to take a stand on issues. They believe that the church has taken a stand on the wrong issues; that we've chosen the wrong priorities in figuring out what is our message, and how is it that we're trying to speak to the world around us. If the church was known more for our efforts to welcome the stranger than keep them out, I think the church would have greater credibility with rising generations.
For example, on immigration policies, we've taken the wrong stance on that. And they know. The thing is, they're smart enough. They - a lot of them have grown up in the church, and then rejected it. They've read the Scriptures that talk about the importance of welcoming the stranger. They've read the Scriptures about the importance of caring for the poor. And when they see that no longer on the lips of those who are in religious authority, they see that the God we present is bankrupt, and that we're theologically thin in our ability to even speak our own story.
GREENE: That the God that you present is bankrupt - I mean, it sounds like you have some real criticisms of how your religion has presented itself recently.
BAUGHMAN: Yeah, I think I do. See, I don't know where it is along the way, but I think we really abdicated some of our core responsibilities as a church; not only to speak on matters of justice but also, on simply being neighbors. I think we've shifted from caring for the well-being of the people around us, to caring for the spiritual well-being of the people who show up on any given Sunday.
SURUFKA: If what we're doing is creating a whole congregation of people who think just like us, then there's the danger we actually narrow our experience. I think one thing that makes Christian community Christian, is not so much everybody's all like each other but precisely when people are not an awful lot like each other, but find some sort of common story that unites them, that's beyond what makes them different.
GREENE: You know, hearing you say that - bring up the idea of creating a place where people all think alike - I mean, that's one of the criticisms about the Catholic church; that on many issues - abortion, gay marriage - you know, you can only think one way. You know, it's a place where I think differently, I can't be there. I can't be part of it.
SURUFKA: You know, there comes a point where you say, this is really fundamental to what we believe and other things are less fundamental, but this is what we're about. More than seeking people who are like them - I found it most successful when young people found people who were authentic, who were living, truly, what they were preaching. And if that's the starting point of a dialogue, then we can make an awful lot of progress.
GREENE: Did you ever get pressure from people who wanted to hear you talk about some very sensitive subjects - like homosexuality, like abortion - they wondered why they weren't hearing you talk about that on Sunday.
SURUFKA: Absolutely. Every now and then, people would say, well, how come you don't talk more about abortion? And probably the most important thing for me, pastorally, is I counseled and heard the confessions of women in that congregation who had had abortions and were really struggling with that. And I knew their pain, and I was not going to bring that to the pulpit.
GREENE: And what was your approach to - I mean, I don't want you to divulge, obviously, something that's too private - what was your approach to those conversations with those women?
SURUFKA: (Pauses) Um - the first step is always to listen, to see what is actually happening in the life of this person. That has more transformative power than just about anything - for somebody really to know that they were heard at a very deep level. That's all I want to say about that.
GREENE: I just wanted to ask you both - I mean, at this moment, do you feel worried; do you feel hopeful about the future of religious practice in this country?
BAUGHMAN: Yeah. I couldn't be more hopeful. I see springs of renewal coming up out of the ground. I see it in the critical conversations that young people are having about the church. I find hope, honestly, in the desperation of the old guard within the church.
GREENE: Father Surufka?
SURUFKA: Oh, I'm full of hope, indeed. There was a theologian from the mid-1900s, who kind of described hope as this - that it's an attitude toward the future that we cannot see, but we trust that somehow it's held by God, and that there are possibilities beyond what we can even imagine. And St. Paul said...
BAUGHMAN: I like that answer better.
SURUFKA: Yeah.
SURUFKA: St. Paul said, you know, we hope in precisely that which we cannot see. Because if we see it, it's not hope. It's already fulfilled. You know, Reverend Baughman and I, I think would agree on this; when we hear sort of the stress fractures of institutional religion, then we know we're making some progress. So I'm very filled with hope, indeed.
GREENE: That's Father Mike Surufka, in Chicago; and Reverend Mike Baughman, in Dallas. And you can learn more about our series "Losing Our Religion" at our website, npr.org. This is NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Zoning restored at a price
It took the Yamhill County Planning Commission only seven minutes last Thursday to unanimously approve a zone change for 40 acres on Peavine Road. That's because it was a straightforward case, the staff recommended approval and no opposition surfaced.
The application was submitted by Jay Alan Shue and Karen Marie Swenson. They wanted to change the zoning on their Peavine Road property from Exclusive Farm use back to its original Agriculture/Forestry.
Commissioners noted the irony of having to charge the full zone-change fee of $2,650 just to undo a rezoning to EFU ordered by the state Department of Land Conservation and Development in 1993 and implemented without the owners' knowledge, let alone input.
"It's just a shame to have to spend the funds and energy to right what the state unjustifiably forced them into," said Commissioner John Abrams. And adding insult to injury, Shue and Swenson also paid an attorney to advise them on how to proceed in the case.
County Planner Ken Friday said the Agriculture/ Forestry zone allows property owners more options than the EFU zone. He said people typically go through the expense only if they subsequently plan to seek approval for a forest template dwelling.
He said the county usually gets two or three such applications a year.
Periodically, Friday said, longtime owners ask the county how their property could have undergone a rezoning without their knowledge. Until passage of Measure 56 in 1998, local jurisdictions were not required to mail out notices when land use changes were instituted through new laws, ordinances or regulations, he said.
Friday said the impetus for the change came from passage of House Bill 3661 in the fall of 1993, an omnibus bill that brought the forest template dwelling into play. It included a requirement for Western Oregon to have an 80-acre minimum lot size and Eastern Oregon to have a 160-acre minimum, he said, but the county sought and obtained authorization for a 40-acre minimum instead.
In 1993, DLCD allowed the county to assign the 40-acre minimum on the applicant's parcel. It opted for EFU zoning at the insistence of the state, as it was more restrictive than the mixed farm/forestry zoning.

LAKE OZARK Mo. – Warrior support for Soldiers before, during and after deployment was the key topic recently at the Missouri National Guard's 35th Engineer Brigade Engineer Ball at Lodge of the Four Seasons.
The ball, in its 34th year, is a gathering open to all Missouri Guard engineers that occurs almost annually and is presented by the brigade, which is headquartered at Fort Leonard Wood. It was the first time to host the ball for Col. William Blaylock II, who took over as brigade commander in December of 2012.
"This was awesome and a great honor," said Blaylock, who lives in Eureka. "The engineer community in Missouri is bigger than the brigade and the brigade is spread out across the state. So the ball gives an opportunity for leaders within the brigade and our engineers outside the brigade to come together. There is a lot of camaraderie within the regiment and this is our opportunity to get together, reminisce, and honor those who are deployed and their spouses."
Col. Gary Gilmore, state chaplain and the ball's guest speaker, recounted the story of Elmer the Engineer, who served during World War I, to more than 300 of the state's citizen-Soldier engineers and their Families. Through the story we learn the importance correspondence from home, whether it be letters or care packages, played in Elmer's moral and well-being while he was deployed for more than a year to France.
"My three points were having your own network of support, recognizing that your experience won't be like everybody else's experience – you may go on the same trip but it is uniquely yours – and then realizing that it's not the end of the world," said Gilmore, who lives in Mount Vernon. "You go and then you come home. There is more to your life than one deployment, so fit it into the larger story of your life."
Gilmore said Family Warrior Support is about how Soldiers and their Families prepare for deployment, how they sustain the Soldier while deployed and then how they are reunited.
"I wanted to say that the chaplains and Missouri Guard Warrior Support programs are there for these Guardsmen, but we can't do it all," Gilmore said. "Everybody needs their own support network to get through a deployment."
The audience also learned that Elmer is Gilmore's grandfather.
"Having heard his story and seen his diary, I just drew how the experiences of a previous generation of Soldiers could help us," Gilmore said. "One of the subtexts of Elmer's diary was that he didn't get enough letters. Whenever he didn't get enough letters, he would write letters home and then he would get letters back. He realized that he had to keep communications going both ways."
Gilmore said Elmer also didn't get his care package from home at Christmas like many others in his unit, but did receive it about six weeks late.
"It got lost and delayed in the mail and he's waiting for it on New Year's Eve, but he still says 'this is the end of the greatest year of my life,' in his diary," Gilmore said. "For a Soldier to say that about what he's doing and how he's serving while still being connected to his loved ones back home, far away, I just thought that was a striking comment."
For his efforts, Gilmore, who deployed with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 35th Engineer Brigade, of Fort Leonard Wood, from 2007-2008 to Iraq, was presented with a coveted crystal engineer castle, the symbol of the Army engineers.
"Those are badges of honor amongst the engineers and what a privilege it is that they shared one of those with me," Gilmore said. "I already feel like a Family member having served with the engineers, but to be honored like that makes me feel double special."
During the ball, the audience saw a short film and slideshow about the recent activities of the 1138th Engineer Company, of Farmington and Fredericktown, which currently is the only Guard engineer unit in the state deployed to Afghanistan.
The unit was represented by five of their spouses, including JoLynn McClarney, wife of Sgt. 1st Class James McClarney a platoon sergeant with the 1138th. The two have come to every engineer ball since 1998 with the exception of two, when James was deployed both times.
Three awards were presented at the ball; the first was a Silver Order of the De Fleury Medal to retired Col. Mitchell Passini. The silver medal is awarded to an individual who has rendered outstanding and significant support or service to the Engineer Regiment.
Army Commendation Medals were presented the brigade's Best Warrior Competition winners. They went to Staff Sgt. Ryan Williams, who lives in Clark, and Pfc. Stoney Tyler, who lives in Rolla. Williams is part of the 1438th Engineer Multi-Role Bridge Company, of Macon, while Tyler is with the 335th Engineer Platoon (Area Clearance), of Rolla.
The Best Warrior Competition is held annually at all levels and is broken down into two categories -- one for Soldiers, who are specialists and below, and the other for noncommissioned officers, who are sergeants and above - within the enlisted ranks.

My parents married young — both were still undergraduates — and so by the time my father started graduate school in mathematics, he and my mother were the harried parents of three small children. They wanted us to see America. And so my father chose the University of Arizona — about as far as you could go from our West Virginia home without falling off the country's opposite edge. On our way, we stopped in Tombstone.
I was reminded of that journey as I read Son of a Gun, the gritty, enthralling new memoir by Justin St. Germain. Tombstone, Ariz. — the town and the myth — is a powerful presence in the book, brooding over its pages like a bad dream you can't shake off, even in daylight.
We only stayed a few hours in Tombstone, just long enough for me to beg and wheedle my parents until they bought me a cowboy hat and a toy gun. Just long enough to stroll past the O.K. Corral, site of the famous 1881 gun battle between Wyatt Earp and a rival gang. That's how most people experience it — as a place you pass through, your pockets filled with souvenirs, your fingers sticky from ice cream cones. It's a tourist town. But St. Germain and his family— his older brother and his mother, Debbie — lingered there. Tombstone is where the author came of age. And it was on the outskirts of Tombstone that Debbie, after years of bad relationships and a ragtag, marginal life, was murdered by her fifth husband, shot eight times in the rundown trailer where the couple lived. Months later and miles away, the killer's decomposing body was found, a suicide victim.
From those acts of grotesque and unfathomable brutality, St. Germain has created a work of austere, luminous beauty. Son of a Gun is written with a deceptive simplicity; it comes at you slowly, like a figure spotted against the Western horizon that moves inexorably in your direction, backlit by the setting sun, and only when it's close enough to do you harm can you look in its sad eyes and see that its mission is a peaceful one. A healing one.
You know from the very first page that you're in capable narrative hands. Recounting the sweltering September day a dozen years ago when he rode home on his bike, only to be told by his brother that their mother had been murdered, St. Germain offers this brief sentence: "The streets shimmered like rivers." Anyone who has ever endured an Arizona afternoon knows those streets. Anyone who hasn't now knows, too.
The author loved his mother, a petite beauty with a vivacious personality, yet he is forthright in acknowledging her flaws. She was restless and erratic, moving dozens of times, starting business after business, always sure that the next one would work. She was too quick to fall in love, and too slow to let go when the romance fizzled. By the time she died, St. Germain informs us, "whatever money she'd once had was gone: her bank accounts were nearly empty, she was carrying mountains of debt on her credit cards, and the only possessions she had to her name were a missing pickup truck and the land where she died." She had the best of intentions, but made the worst kinds of mistakes. One of those mistakes — hooking up with a moody, insecure ex-cop named Ray Hudson — cost Debbie her life.
Son of a Gun is the story of a quest, as the author searches for the details of his mother's murder. It is also a coming-of-age story, because St. Germain was a college student at the time of her death, and maturity was still well over the horizon for him; he chronicles his own failings and flailings with an appealing candor. And it is a keenly observed meditation on the dubious legends of the Old West, a place where men like Wyatt Earp strapped six-guns to their hips and never ran away from trouble.
The book is notable as well for what it's not. Son of a Gun is not really about guns or gun control; guns are present — how could they not be? — but not central. And it's not a whodunit. The author knows who killed his mother; he is compelled to find out why, and to explore how her death has changed him.
In his understated, eloquent way, St. Germain makes you feel the heat, taste the dust, see those shimmering streets. By the end of the book, you know his mother, even though you never met her. And like the author, you will mourn her forever.
Julia Keller, winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for feature writing, is the author of Bitter River, a novel that will be published in September by Minotaur.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Audie Cornish. Tombstone, Ariz., is famous for what happened there in 1881. That's the year a deadly gunfight broke out at the O.K. Corral; it was lawman Wyatt Earp and his brothers against a gang of rivals.
Earp has been portrayed by actors like Henry Fonda, Burt Lancaster and Val Kilmer. But this week, he's being revived by a different kind of artist. A new memoir by author Justin St. Germain weaves the story of the O.K. Corral into another, more personal tale. Julia Keller has our review.
JULIA KELLER, BYLINE: Tombstone is a big part of America's frontier mythology. Think dusty streets, white-hot sun. When I was a kid totally obsessed with cowboys, we took a family vacation there. I begged my parents until finally, they bought me a cowboy hat and a toy gun. I remembered that trip as I read "Son of a Gun," the gritty, haunting new memoir by Justin St. Germain.
Tombstone is a tourist town; most people are just passing through. But for St. Germain and his family, the place was like a barbed-wire fence, and they were like scraps of paper blown in that direction. They stuck. And it was on the outskirts of Tombstone that in 2001, the author's mother was murdered.
Debbie St. Germain was shot eight times by her fifth husband in the rundown trailer where the couple lived. St. Germain loved his mother, but knows she wasn't perfect. She was restless, erratic; moving dozens of times, trying scheme after scheme, always certain that the next one would work out. She had the best of intentions but made the worst kinds of mistakes.
One of those mistakes was named Ray. He was a moody, insecure ex-cop, and he took her life. "Son of a Gun" is a story of a quest, as the author searches for the details of his mother's murder. It's also a coming-of-age story; and it's a keenly observed meditation on those dubious legends of the Wild West, a place where men like Wyatt Earp strapped six guns to their hips and never ran away from trouble.
The book is also notable for what it's not. "Son of a Gun" is not really about guns, and it's not really a mystery. From the beginning, we know who killed her. With understated, luminous prose, St. Germain makes you feel the heat, taste the dust, and see the eternally hopeful shine in his mother's eyes. By the last page, you know her. And like her son, you will mourn her forever.
CORNISH: The book is "Son of a Gun," by Justin St. Germain. Our reviewer is Julia Keller. Her latest novel, "Bitter River," comes out in September. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Margaret's Hope 2nd Flush Darjeeling
The bushes at Margaret's Hope are almost entirely the Chinese Jat (genus), accounting for the green leafed tippy appearance of the manufactured leaf and the superb fragrance. Because the tea is grown at such high altitudes and in relatively cool weather, the bushes do not grow quickly, and, as such, the production is limited. The best time of the year for quality is during �second-flush' (end of May - end of June). During this time, Darjeelings are incomparable to any other tea in the world. The fragrance and taste is a complex bouquet that reaches right out of the cup. Some would describe the taste as nutty; others find it reminds them of black currants; but most often it is described as similar to the taste and fragrance of muscat grapes.

When individuals turn to the Internet to Educated them selves in lieu of getting an actual education. Most of what is learned on the internet is, in fact, not true. You can tell someone who has an internet education from a person who has an actual education by the degree and depth of their knowledge. If you think Aspartame is a poison, you have an internet education. If you realize aspartame is actually made up of 2 amino acids, you have an actual education. Other 'symptoms' of an internet education include, 9/11 conspiracy, vaccine conspiracy, fluoridated water dangers, Moon landing conspiracy, citing Alex Jones, youtube or Wikipedia as a source.
Omg, you know that Vaccines cause autism?
Really? Where did you get your internet education? Youtube? Do you have a Ph.D in Wikipedia?
