The 2017-18 season
John Cranko Schule
Marijn Rademaker
Principal Dancer
Marijn Rademaker was born in Nijmegen, Netherlands. He started his ballet training in Nijmegen and then went to the National Ballet Academy in Amsterdam (1991-1992). Afterwards he was trained at the Arnheim Institute for the Arts (1992-96) and completed his studies at the Royal Conservatory in Den Haag in 2000. In 1998 and 1999 Marijn Rademaker took part in a ballet competition of the "Young Dancer" foundation of Alexandra Radius and Han Ebbelaar where he won the Grace Prize in 1999.
In 2000/2001, Marijn Rademaker became a member of the Stuttgart Ballet's Corps de ballet. At the beginning of the season 2004/05 he was promoted to Demi Soloist. At the beginning of the season 2006/07 he was supposed to be promoted to Soloist but after his highly successful debut as Armand in
The Lady of the Camellias
(John Neumeier) in July 2006, Reid Anderson promoted him immediately to Principal Dancer after the performance.
Marco Goecke created the Solo
for Marijn Rademaker, which he danced for the first time at a Gala in Arnheim. For this solo he was named "Young Dancer to watch" in the critics' choice of the magazine ballettanz 2005. In 2008 he was named several times in the category "Outstanding Dancer" in ballettanz, above all for his captivating performance of Jago in John Neumeier's
. Just one year later he was named again twice in the category "Best Dancer". In November 2006 he won the German Theatre Prize "Der Faust" in the category "Best Performer Dance" which has then been awarded for the first time. Only one year later he received the honorable German Dance Prize "Future" 2009. In July 2009 he was awarded the international dance prize "Premio ApuliArte".
Marijn Rademaker joined the Stuttgart Ballet on tours all around the world. In addition to that he receives invitations to international galas and guest performances. In May 2007 John Neumeier invited him to dance the role of Armand Duval in his
The Lady of the Camellias
together with the Hamburg Ballet and Sue Jin Kang as Marguerite Gautier. At the 34th Nijinski-Gala in the course of the "Hamburg Ballet Days 2008" he danced excerpts as Tadzio in John Neumeiers
Death in Venice
together with Lloyd Riggins as Aschenbach. In the season 2008/09 he performed the title role in Heinz Spoerli's
Peer Gynt
as a guest with the Zurcher Ballet which has also been recorded for television and a DVD-production. In January 2011 Marijn Rademaker was guesting at Het Nationale Ballet Amsterdam where he danced in
The Sleeping Beauty
(Sir Peter Wright nach Marius Petipa) together with Maia Makhateli. Since the season 2011/12 he is dancing as a permanent guest with Het Nationale Ballet Amsterdam.
For the Noverre-Society's "Young Choreographers" Marijn Rademaker created his first own choreography in May 2012: the Solo
was danced by Stuttgart Ballet's dancer Robert Robinson.

Democratic state legislators surely knew that by passing gun-control laws, they were setting up an impassioned conflict in the conservative rural areas where guns are a part of everyday life.
Now that Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper has signed three such bills - universal background checks, a requirement that applicants pay for those background checks, and a ban on larger-capacity magazines - the conflict has arrived, and a whole lot of Coloradans are caught in the middle.
Sheriffs say the new laws aren't enforceable in any meaningful way and they aren't going to try, which is an interesting statement about the power they do or don't have. Gun supporters already are working toward changing the composition of the General Assembly in 2014 (and continuing the pendulum swing). The latter is the way our political system works.
Everyone in Colorado is required by various forces to comply with the laws of the state, on many issues besides guns. They may not believe in private property rights. They may believe that the speed limit should be 90 instead of 65. They may think they can drive just fine after an evening of drinking. If they're arrested, though, the law on the books is the standard by which they'll be judged.
That enforcement personnel have some latitude in the execution of their duties makes sense. There are only so many officers to go around, and the consequences of breaking some laws are a great deal more severe than the results of breaking others. Lawmakers cannot foresee every situation, especially those that are far from black and white.
The majority of voters in Montezuma County, holding the firm belief that the government shouldn't restrict the right to keep and bear arms, probably are comfortable with the sheriffs' decision not to enforce the new gun laws. They might feel differently about opting out of drug enforcement, about a First Amendment issue - say, polygamy - that might endanger children, or if the majority of the people protesting background checks came from different backgrounds, but right now they're satisfied that the sheriffs' hands-off posture really will result in the most justice.
That may well be true, but representative democracy is not something to abandoned without careful thought.
In this deeply divided state, the Legislature's attempts to address substantive issues always will disappoint large numbers of citizens who hold differing political, philosophical and religious beliefs. Lawlessness cannot be the answer, and selective enforcement on major issues carries its own set of problems, including that it seems much fairer to people who agree with the sheriff's decision than those who agree with lawmakers. Constant recalls won't result in balance; one side or the other always will "win."
Regardless of how one feels about the new gun laws, they were created following the procedures outlined in the state constitution: debated and approved by duly elected representatives in both houses of the Legislature and signed by the governor. They were well-intentioned, if poorly conceived, attempts to address a real problem. Of course they'll turn out to be ineffective. The absence of arrests and prosecutions will render that prophecy self fulfilling. That's the circular point being made by those who insist that current gun also laws don't work.
Under those circumstances, democracy won't work either. If the system is as broken as many Coloradans believe, fix it constructively. Ignoring unpopular laws cannot be the only, or last, step taken.

The Go Programming Language (Go) is an expressive, concise, clean, and efficient language with concurrency mechanisms that make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines. Its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language.
HGL is a compiler/interpreter suite for developing images. It features its own simple but powerful language, Lua integration, output in various formats as well as runtime input handled by plugins, and easy integration into various environments like Web servers or graphical applications. The input is taken from a source file, which has to be compiled for quick and frequent access by the interpreter. An interpreter then runs the compiled files, takes input from custom plugins (if neccessary), and outputs its result via custom plugins.
Java Grinder takes Java byte-code from a class file and compiles it into an assembly code text file that can be assembled and run on microcontrollers and CPUs including MSP430, dsPIC, 6502 (Commodore 64), 68000, ARM, and MIPS. A Java API is provided for dealing with SPI, GPIO, Commodore 64 hardware, and more.
Gcmc is a front-end language for generating G-code, SVG, and DXF for CNC mills, lathes, laser cutters, and other numerically controlled machines employing G-code, SVG, or DXF. The language is a context-free grammar created to overcome the archaic format of G-code programming, but can be used more generally for many targets. Gcmc aims to be more readable and understandable than G-code and enable programmatic designing. Gcmc makes extensive use of vector mathematics to support the 3D nature of CNC machining. It handles units as millimeters, mils (inch), degrees, and radians and performs automatic conversions where necessary.
Nimrod is a statically typed, imperative programming language that tries to give the programmer ultimate power without compromising on runtime efficiency. This means it focuses on compile-time mechanisms in all their various forms. Beneath a nice infix/indentation based syntax with a powerful (AST based, hygienic) macro system lies a semantic model that supports a soft realtime GC on thread local heaps. Asynchronous message passing is used between threads, so no "stop the world" mechanism is necessary. An unsafe shared memory heap is also provided for the increased efficiency that results from that model.
gradle-sablecc-plugin is a gradle plugin which creates parsers using SableCC. SableCC supports automatic CST-to-AST transformation, emits all the visitor patterns and analysis helpers you will likely ever need, and is LR, not LL(k). Many example grammars are available for modern languages; the author of this plugin has written dozens.
Theano is a Python library that allows you to define, optimize, and evaluate mathematical expressions involving multi-dimensional arrays efficiently. Theano features tight integration with numpy, transparent use of a GPU, efficient symbolic differentiation, speed and stability optimizations, dynamic C code generation, and extensive unit-testing and self-verification. Theano has been powering large-scale computationally intensive scientific investigations since 2007. But it is also approachable enough to be used in the classroom (IFT6266 at the University of Montreal).
The Voodoo compiler is an implementation of the Voodoo programming language. The Voodoo programming language is a low-level programming language, abstracting over the platform's instruction set and calling conventions, but otherwise leaving the programmer free to do anything at all. The Voodoo compiler supports multiple target platforms and provides a stand-alone compiler, as well as a Ruby module for programmatic code generation.

By Attorney Joanne Fanizza
Special to THELAW.TV<http://thelaw.tv>
Medicaid is a highly specialized area of law that, unfortunately, tends to generate a lot of rumors and misinformation. As an elder lawyer in New York and Florida, I have seen and heard it all in this area. But the most damaging bad information involves transferring assets to qualify. Done incorrectly, this action not only could cost you in Medicaid eligibility, but it could subject those making the transfers to criminal charges as well.
What if a parent suddenly becomes gravely ill, they do not have long-term care insurance, they have not done advance Medicaid planning, and they need Medicaid to pay for permanent nursing home care? Is it okay to put all of your parent's assets in your own name because then Medicaid will see that they don't own anything and they will be able to qualify for Medicaid right away?
Not only wrong, but this Medicaid myth is rife with problems that could subject those in need — and their families — to penalties, disqualification or, worse, criminal charges.
Whether a needy senior will immediately qualify for Medicaid to pay for nursing home care depends on whether they did advance Medicaid planning or whether their current financial status qualifies them at the outset. The truly destitute do not have problems qualifying. It is the lower middle class — those with modest assets they are trying not to lose entirely, especially if they have a well spouse or children — who face a more challenging task to qualify.
Congress has created methods by which those who are not destitute, but not rich, can attempt to shield some or all of their assets in order to qualify. In the best-case scenario, someone who plans in advance can create a Medicaid-qualifying trust, transfer all their assets into the trust, and wait out the five-year "lookback" period. When the individual can show they haven't owned any assets for at least five years (because the trustee of the trust owns their property, and the Medicaid applicant cannot be the trustee), they should qualify for Medicaid.
It is in the worst-case scenario — when a senior fails to plan at all, or what we in the industry call "the crisis Medicaid case" — that troubles arise. And this is where those rumors abound. Because Medicaid looks back five years into the individual's financial history to determine what they own(ed) and where it went, any transfers of assets into another person's name without adequate compensation will earn the Medicaid applicant a penalty period, which means they will not qualify for coverage for a certain period of time, based on an established formula.
The worst thing a child can do is transfer their parent's assets out of the parent's name thinking Medicaid won't know, or not report all assets, thinking Medicaid won't find them — both of which are tantamount to defrauding Medicaid and could subject that person to criminal charges. Different rules apply to spouses. The fact is, Medicaid does a thorough review of every applicant's financial background, referencing and cross-referencing documents, checking all financial transactions, bank accounts, and other assets, and will determine if money has been transferred. Money or assets improperly transferred will create a penalty period, or period of ineligibility. In a worst-case scenario, Medicaid could refer those involved to the local district attorney for prosecution.
Congress has authorized several methods by which even "crisis" cases can shield some of their assets. Some examples include purchasing an irrevocable funeral trust, investing in certain improvements in the home, making gifts with promissory note paybacks, and entering into personal services contracts with family members. The only way to know if you or your loved one can shield some or all of their assets is by consulting an elder lawyer who specializes in Medicaid planning.

text: Some paleontologists are rewriting the history of the dinosaur. Experts have concluded that the Triceratops may have never existed, according to the Montana State University News Service and the Chicago Tribune. Since the 1800's, scientists have believed that the Triceratops and the Torosaurus were two separate dinosaurs, but now two researchers at Montana State University have concluded that the Triceratops and the Torosaurus were actually one in the same -- at different stages of growth. Both dinosaurs had a three-horned skull but while the Triceratops had a smaller frill, the Torosaurus had a larger frill with two large holes in it. MSU paleontologists John Scannella and Jack Horner noticed while considering more than 100 years of dinosaur research, that the remains of a young Torosaurus had never been found. After participating in a 10-year study led by Horner, researchers concluded that the Triceratops hadn't lived long enough to fully develop the frill that would identify them as a Torosaurus. Horner and Scannella published their findings in the July edition of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology. According to Scannella, the confusion over Triceratops and Torosaurus was easy to understand, because juvenile dinosaurs looked very different, and their skulls changed radically as they matured. "Paleontologists are at a disadvantage because we can't go out into the field and observe a living Triceratops grow up from a baby to an adult," Scannella said. "We have to put together the story based on fossils. In order to get the complete story, you need to have a large sample of fossils from many individuals representing different growth stages." Recent studies by scientists have revealed extreme changes in the skulls of pachycephalosaurs, tyrannosaurs and other dinosaurs that died out about 65 million years ago in North America. Scannella and Horner examined more than 50 Triceratops specimens for their study.

Sepang, 16 November 2012 AirAsia is set to blaze the trail in Indonesia by making the Kuala Lumpur – Solo route available once again, after announcing a brief pause in operations early this year as part of the airline's realignment of business plans in Indonesia. Flights for this route will re-commence on 21 December 2012 with 3 weekly flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. To celebrate, AirAsia is offering promotional all-in-fares from as low as RM99 one-way from Kuala Lumpur – Solo, from now until 25 November 2012 with the travel period from 21 December 2012 until 30 September 2013. The promotional fares are exclusively available online at www.airasia.com. Indonesia is a very important market and presents many opportunities for the airline to expand and prosper. The momentary breather on Kuala Lumpur - Solo early this year was a part of the realigning process of its business plans in Indonesia, in order to effectively capitalize on the prospects presented by the market. With Indonesia enjoying sustained economic growth, demand for flight services have increased and AirAsia is set to tap into this enhanced demand. With superior business plans in place, the airline is confident to be a leader in the market. AirAsia have flown more than 9 million guests from Malaysia to Indonesia so far, and is dedicated to further development of Malaysian-Indonesian routes which will bring positive economic impacts through more business and tourism activities. Solo, the heart of Javanese Culture, is located in Central Java. The vibrant city is 1 hour drive from Yogyakarta and 2 hours drive from Semarang (the capital of central java). The city boasts two beautiful Javanese palaces called Kraton Mangkunegaran & Kraton Kesunanan, while the surrounding countryside is home to some of Indonesia's most glorious ancient temples.

Taupa Lithuanian Credit Union CEO in Standoff with Police
Local Cleveland news outlets are reporting that Alex Spirikaitis, deposed CEO of the Taupa Lithuanian Credit Union which was liquidated Friday by the NCUA, has been in a standoff with police since 8 p.m. Tuesday evening.
An FBI spokesperson told the local news outlets the bureau has issued a warrant for Spirikaitis' arrest, but when police attempted to arrest him Tuesday night he barricaded himself inside his home. The FBI doesn't think anyone is in the house with him, but authorities say they are not sure if he has a weapon.
Local Fox 8 News in Cleveland reported a loud popping noise was heard on the scene earlier this morning. The station posted a video report on its website.
An FBI spokesman interviewed by the Fox station said the warrant accuses Spirikaitis of fraud.

Well what happened in the NHL was they took the average of their 3 years then divided the league into 3 categories. top 3rd (the good) each got 1 ping-pong ball, the middle 3rd (the bad) got 2 ping-pong balls and the lowest 3rd (the ugly) got 3 ping-pong balls. They then mixed it up and picked and the winner got Sidney Crosby, the greatest NHL player since Mario Lemieux.
If you're wondering the Pens had 3 ping-pong balls, but I believe the Ducks who chose 2nd only had 1 ball.

Let's say we make to the playoff, we will be targeting between 15-20 range, what are some of the players we can target in this year's NBA Draft.
1) Will Cauley Stein - let's hope he slips but i doubt he will, he's most likely a lottery pick type of player in this year's weak draft. He could replace either Gray or whoever we sign as a backup C through further trade next season, a decent backup C behind Val if he's drafted by us.
Best Case Scenario: Kendrick Perkins with a jump shot
Worst Case Scenario: Poorman DeMarcus Cousins with no attitude
2) James McAdoo - I think he's this year's Perry Jones III or Quincy Miler. A hyped player but with poor result due to injury and seldom experience. He could replace Landry Fields as our primary backup SF and if Gay doesn't work out, he could replace Gay in a few years that's if he truly becomes a good player in the league.
Best Case Scenario: Antawn Jamison in his Wizards days
Worst Case Scenario: Athletic Landry Fields
3) Dario Saric: Europe has him as the next Big Point Forward since Peja Stojackovic and Turkeyglu. However I see him as a Jan Vesly with low post moves. He could be drafted by the Raps given the Euro sensation so he can be the primary backup for Gay
Best Case Scenario: Ersan Ilyasova
Worst Case Scenario: Jorge Garbajosa
4) Archie Goodwin: Possibly the best player at the 15-20 range who's not gonna be drafted by the Raptors since we already have DeRozan and Ross and if he's drafted, it will definitely hamper his growth in the NBA.
Best Case Scenario: Dion Waiters
Worst Case Scenario: Shannon Brown
5) Tony Mitchell: Can he play PF, he's very athletic but does not play with respect to the hype, a hardnosed player with a keen in rebound and defense and he can knock down the 18 foot jumper but his consistency is way off the chart, some day he scores 20+ ppts, some day he scores 0. If he's drafted by the Raptors, I don't think he's gonna get any playing time but go right into Casey's dogpound.
Best Case Scenario: A more of a consistent Derrick Williams
Worst Case Scenario: James Johnson
6) Rudy Golbert: BC is not an idiot but can be an asshole if he drafted this guy with our pick. Golbert is more like a 2nd round foddler and will see no action in NBA. I see bust in this guy before his name got across in the NBA. If he's drafted, I would not want to watch the Raps.
Best Case Scenario: Patrick O'Bryant
Worst Case Scenario: Alexis Ajinca
7) Isaiah Canaan: More like a Kyle Lowry 2.0. It doesn't hurt this team if we get another Kyle Lowry or a player that can be tutelage by Mr.Lowry himself. I could imagine if both Canaan and Lowry walk in T-Dot, people will think they are twins and it doesn't hurt the Raps to have a twin at the PG spot back and forth. A great player Canaan but with the weak draft, I see him get drafted before us.
Best Case Scenario: Good Kyle Lowry who can contribute 15ppts+ 10apg
Worst Case Scenario: Bad Kyle Lowry who contribute only 2pt + 1apg on some nights
8) Myck Kabongo: I think this guy has an attitude but given the fact he's Canadian, might as well play for a Canadian team and crowd. Kabongo was the hype before he entered college and everything went downhill from suspension to all kinds of chaos, his draftstats has fallen from a once lottery pick player to the bottom 20. However, given minutes, he can bring some excitement. Although we will be playing uptempo style next year with DeRozan and Gay on board, he can run with the team for sure if he's drafted.
Best Case Scenario: Jrue Holiday
Worst Case Scenario: Marquis Teague
9) Jeff Withey: If we are going after an Aaron Gray clone, then we should nab Jeff Withey if we draft between 25-30 range. Withey is the type of player that can do a little bit of everything, saw some of the Jayhawks game and this guy is a player. He can knock down the 18 foot jumper and give you a double double on some given nights.
Best Case Scenario: Better Kris Humphries
Worst Case Scenario: Aaron Gray
Dark Horse Player that could be built as a Cornerstone of this Franchise
1) Lucas Nogueirra: His name surfaced two years ago I believe but this kid wasn't drafted for two years to develop his game and he looks promising. Consider as Brazilian next big man to come into the league since Nene, I believe this kid could pull a Andrew Nicholson or Taj Gibson in his rookie/sophomore year. A project of a PF, if he's drafted, he could learn a thing or two from Amir Johnson or develop into his own player, a fluid of a big man, if he gets himself a good coach, he could turn out to be a phenomenal sensation in this league.
Best Case Scenario: Andrew Nicholson
Worst Case Scenario: Kwame Brown
2) DeShaun Thomas: He's the upcoming Jeff Taylor 2.0 of 2013 Draft. A late bloomer who might go 2nd round and get picked by a shitty team but will contribute big time off the bench. A hustle player who plays defense and attack the basket, not afraid of doing the little and dirty work to make the team better, has gotta be under Raptors' radar. If he's not picked in the 1st round, let's hope he falls for the second round so he can be a primary backup SF for Rudy Gay. He is our Bruce Bowen.
Best Case Scenario: Jeff Taylor
Worst Case Scenario: Bruce Bowen
3) Trey Burke: This guy can go from a lottery pick to 2nd rounder. His stats flows like the stock market. However, I see this guy will make an impact in the league as a better PG but he will have to play under some good PG as his mentor and that being the Raptors under Lowry and Coach Casey. He could turn out to be a diamond in the rough, a gem needs to be polished before he make any impact in the NBA. However, if he's to be drafted by a heavily PG-burdened team like the Pistons, then he will be buried down the bench and probably will be out of the league in no time.
Best Case Scenario: Eric Bledsoe
Worst Case Scenario: Ronnie Price
4) Ray McCallum: This guy plays like a shooting guard, a guard who plays like a shooting guard and is in the 2nd round, gotta love it. A Monta Ellis and Gilbert Arenas written in this guy since his name surfaced in the league. McCallum is not a traditional PG but under the right coach, he could become one of the elite PG in this league.
Best Case Scenario: Monta Ellis in his day with the Warriors
Worst Case Scenario: Jarret Jack in his day with the Pacers
5) Michael Snaer: A SG who plays like a PF. Gotta love a hustle player who defends and able to shoot the 3s beyond the arc, that person is Michael Snaer. A 2nd rounder player who could go 1st round depends on his stock. I say the Raps should pick him up in the 2nd round if DeShaun Thomas is gone. He is the Jae Crowder of this year's draft.
Best Case Scenario: Jae Crowder with a better jump shot
Worst Case Scenario: Poorman Marquis Daniel
6) DeWayne Dedmon: He's DeAndre Jordon 2.0. Enough said
Best Case Scenario: DeAndre Jordon
Worst Case Scenario: Poorman Eddy Curry
Players I Don't Want to see in Raptors Uniform
1) Mason Plumlee: It's not because his brother plays for the Pacers and got drafted pretty high in the 2012 NBA Draft but Plumlee will see no action as a Raptors and is not the type of player we are looking for, perhaps he can develop into a fundamental player or a key player off the bench on a playoff contending team but not the Raptors. Sorry don't need him.
Best Case Scenario: Greg Stiesma
Worst Case Scenario: Miles Plumlee
2) Tim Hardaway Jr: Wasn't his father who publicly announced on ESPN that he hates gay people and George Takei made a sketch comedy about him. That video is hilarious but if this guy gets drafted, I see his father will make a big fuss about him playing alongside Rudy Gay. His not the player that his father was and honestly, I don't see him getting any minutes behind DeRozan and Ross unless he grows another 5 inch to play the SF/PF position, highly doubt it.
Best Case Scenario: Tim Hardaway Sr
Worst Case Scenario: Alan Anderson
3) Kentavious Caldwell Pope: This guy is a pure shooter but he won't get drafted by the Raptors since our wing are secured with DeRozan and Ross unless one of them is traded in the off season. Pope plays like Kerry Kittles, a smooth shooter with lightning quick jumper. He could turn out to be a great player for a team that lacks shooter but not the Raps.
Best Case Scenario: Kerry Kittles
Worst Case Scenario: Poorman Marcus Thornton
4) Gorgui Dieng: Ahh, we have Acy on this team so I don't see any point in drafting this guy even if he's the best player when he falls for us. A late 1st round pick, a shot blocker who could turn out to be a good player but only time will tell. This guy can only rebound and block and play lowpost or postup, have zero jumpshoot or beyond the arc abilities, could be the reason why his stock has fallen.
Best Case Scenario: Serge Ibaka
Worst Case Scenario: Theo Ratliff
5) Kelly Olynyk: Uhhh, where did this guy come, is he the lost brother of Thor, I thought Loki is his only brother Basically Kelly "Thor" Olynyk is a player that got some hype after his latest play in the NCAA. His the type of player that could once in a while make an impact in the league who gets signed on a huge contract then diminish into a benchwarmer for years to come. So simply no!
Best Case Scenario: Birdman Chris Andersen
Worst Case Scenario: Poorman Fabricio Oberto

When a wildfire suddenly broke out last Friday in Lory State Park, west of Fort Collins, Coloradans breathed an anxious, collective sigh: not again.
The early season blaze stirred unpleasant memories of last year's trying fire season, which scorched about 385,000 acres in the state, according to the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control. Runoff from the San Juan mountains in 2012 was the third worst in the last 50 years, at only 40 percent of normal.
A second consecutive season with severe drought conditions - a real possibility - could pose further headaches for firefighters and agriculture producers in Southwest Colorado.
Much like last year, March has started out - with the exception of a minor storm two weekends ago - warm and dry.
"Lots of people (in agriculture) are hanging their heads," said Mike Preston, general manager of the Dolores Water Conservancy District. "Farming and ranching is their livelihood, and they aren't optimistic about the weather. But we don't have a crystal ball. There are still unknowns."
The conservancy district and Montezuma Valley Irrigation Company both held board meetings last week to assess local water conditions heading into the 2013 growing season.
The available data don't bode well.
Soil moisture content is low. McPhee Reservoir is depleted. And snowpack in Colorado's eight major river basins is subpar. The basin that supplies McPhee - San Juan/Dolores - is faring the best at 86 percent of normal, according to March 15 SNOTEL measurements by the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Local weather observer Jim Andrus said the promising snowfall earlier this winter has tapered off. December, January and February all saw above-average snow in Cortez, but March accumulation has so far been negligible. And, disturbingly, the storms often failed to deposit large accumulations in the high country.
In the month from Feb. 1 to March 1, projected inflow (runoff) into McPhee Reservoir was revised down from 205,000 acre-feet to 165,000.
"The lack of snow in February and early March is worrisome. We had some storms but they just did not deliver (much moisture). It's caused a significant drop in forecasted inflow," Preston said.
So, barring an extremely wet spring, this growing season looks to be a challenging one for irrigation-dependent agriculture producers.
Preston said all water allocations drawn from McPhee and the Dolores River were met in 2012, despite hot and dry weather, because McPhee began the season with a healthy reserve of 140,000 acre-feet. There is no such buffer this year. Active storage is now only 35,000 acre-feet.
Holders of senior MVIC water rights, mostly south of McPhee, are in the best shape. Preston said they should expect about 87 percent of full supply under current conditions. Full-service irrigators from Yellow Jacket to Dove Creek, who rely on stored project water, will be short-changed the most, getting only 65 percent of supply.
"They'll have one-third less water than they'd ordinarily be guaranteed," he said, equalling 16 inches of water per allocated acre.
The 7,700-acre Ute Mountain Farm and Ranch operation will receive approximately 17,500 acre-feet this season, down from the full 27,000.
Downstream releases from McPhee into the lower Dolores River, which also houses a trout fishery, will be curtailed too. At this stage, hopeful rafters and kayakers can forget about getting any spill releases for whitewater recreation.
Preston emphasized that weather patterns are fluid and difficult to predict more than 10 days out. A wet spring and summer could still be in the works.
"Two variables would help us right now. One is high-elevation snow. That didn't happen consistently this winter. High-elevation snow is what feeds reservoir inflow from April to July," he said. "The other variable is low-elevation rain this spring. Rain doesn't add much to the reservoir, but it does reduce irrigation demand. When it rains, crops don't need as much (piped) water and farmers turn their sprinkler systems off. So both those variables would be advantageous."
But for now, prevailing trends aren't cause for celebration.
"A wet, two-foot snow could change things. But in the forecast we see nothing to indicate a storm like that is in the offing," Preston added. "Without ruling anything out, we're considering the possibility that this could be it, as far as big snowstorms."
If dry, warm, and windy spring weather continues, runoff into McPhee Reservoir could be even less than current estimates, because snowpack melts into the slopes before feeding into streams.
The first irrigation releases are still several weeks away. The Ute Mountain Farm and Ranch starts irrigating around April 1, and subsequent releases move northward.
"The lands from Yellow Jacket to Dove Creek, along the main canal, generally have water by the first full week of May. The pressurized pump delivery system up there is sensitive to damage by freezing," Preston said. "So our maintenance superintendent waits to turn the system on until he thinks temperatures are warm enough to avoid any hard freeze events. Farmers look for that decision in early May."
Growers have several options during a tight water year. They can spread their allocation more thin across the same acreage, risking lower productivity; they can plant on less acreage, letting some land lie fallow; or they can substitute more drought-resistant crops, like Sudan grass.

Liberal Actions Taken by Congressman Yarmuth during the 113th Congress of 2013-2014:
H.R. 526, the ACHE Act, would create a moratorium on the practice of mountaintop removal coal mining - at least until scientific studies of the health impact of the mining procedure could be completed. The Appalachian Communities Health Emergency Act notes that Peer-reviewed scientific research and reports have raised serious concerns about mountaintop removal mining with respect to elevated risks in categories of birth defects studied: circulatory/respiratory, central nervous system, musculoskeletal, and gastrointestinal. Mountaintop removal coal mining also destroys local ecosystems, filling in clean mountain streams with debris laced with heavy metals.
Rep. Yarmuth has taken a liberal course of action by cosponsoring this bill.

Product Details

A little over a year ago, many enthusiasts embraced all the latest release details on Windows Vista. Leading up the consumer launch of the operating system on January 30, many details including product packaging and pricing were revealed to consumers months ahead of time.
Microsoft decided to put the speculation to rest this time around with is new Windows Server 2008 operating system. The company has announced pricing for the eight editions of Windows Server 2008 and has reaffirmed the operating system's Feb 27, 2008 worldwide launch date.
Pricing for the various iterations of Windows Server 2008 are as follows:
All versions of Windows Server 2008 (with the exception of the Itanium version which is 64-bit only) will be available in 32-bit and 64-bit editions. In addition, businesses can choose to forgo Hyper-V technology on Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter editions to save $28 USD.
Hyper-V is Microsoft's server virtualization technology and is only available on 64-bit editions of the software. Microsoft will also sell its Hyper-V Server as a standalone virtualization server -- it will be priced at $28 USD.
"With more than 1 million downloads and evaluation copies, we've built Windows Server 2008 based on a solid foundation of customer feedback, which is reflected in the product's ease of management, security enhancements and overall reliability," said Bob Kelly, corporate VP of Infrastructure Server Marketing at Microsoft. "The unprecedented range of customer choices and the virtualization enhancements will help customers tailor solutions built to fit virtually any business need."
"What we are trying to do enable customers to live in world where they treat all compute resources -- such as CPU cycles, storage, networking -- as a single blob while providing a consistent way of maximizing effectiveness and utilization while reducing costs for IT and making things more automated for IT," continued Andy Lees, corporate vice president of Microsoft's server and tools marketing and solutions group. "And virtualization is the key piece of technology to enable that."
Microsoft already has a group of manufacturing backing its Hyper-V initiative including Dell, Fujitsu, Hitachi, HP, IBM, Lenovo, NEC and Unisys.
Likewise, in an effort to make virtualization more accessible and serviceable by customers, Microsoft is launching its Server Virtualization Validation Program. Customers will be able to validate their virtualization software using this program beginning in June 2008.
"As more customers deploy and virtualize Windows-based applications on Windows Server 2008 or other server virtualization software, this program will help ensure that customers receive a joint support experience for their physical and virtual infrastructure deployments," said Kelly.

Orioles vs. Rays 5/9/11 (Longoria HR on the fly)
Just a note: for some reasons that I
rather not share publicly and all, I was in the hospital ER on Friday afternoon
well into the night (5/6). Therefore, I
obviously did not go to the game on Friday night. With finals work also piling up on me for
school, the next week or two of entries will be delayed a bit. But, working on getting better and moving on.
So this game. Saturday.
It was a 1 o clock game because it was on FOX and FOX likes messing up
everybody's schedules. After only a few
hours of sleep, I still rushed down to the park for the game, thinking there
would be BP. I was coming from my house,
so I had to stop by my apartment for my glove and drop off my computer, so I
showed up at the park in a rush in jeans and a random brown Adidas shirt. Matt and a few others even realized I looked
different. Besides the whole no sleep
thing, they saw me in jeans and not an orange shirt, two things that I have
never had at a game before. Ever. You'll understand later more why I'm
mentioning the clothes.
So I got to the gates about 3 minutes
before opening. I was supposed to be
buying Todd Cook and his son tickets
for the game, but due to the last minute complications, I could not make it in
time, so I contacted Todd and Matt, and Matt was able to hook him up. This is what connections/friends are for.
Once inside, I had to take it easy on
myself still. I got a Derrek Lee ball quickly
that he hit down the line and I picked up in the corner, followed soon after by
a Mark Reynolds HR on the fly in the aisle of 82/84. Here's a map:
So the lower red dot is the Lee ball, the
higher one is Reynolds. Yes, there's a
star there. Hold on.
Matt, Zevi, and I found seats on the
aisle between sections 80 and 82. Todd
and Tim joined us for most of the game there as well. It was a beautiful day for baseball, and
after spending most of Rays BP and then pregame down time in the shade (I
needed to rest, so it meant missing out on some baseballs, but it was needed
for my health), here we were with a great spot in LF:
Notice the open seats in front of
us. They became important.
Here's another view:
In the top of the 3rd, with 2
men on and 2 out, up steps Evan Longoria to the plate. Longoria has been on the DL for most of April
(was put there during the opening series vs. the O's in Tampa). And BAM, Longoria hit a shot to deep
left. As opposed to a few weeks ago when
I ran down the steps too quickly and overplayed an Alex Rodriguez grand slam, I
took these steps very slowly. With a lot
of room around, as seen above, I played the ball perfectly, and BAM, I caught
Evan Longoria's 3 run home run, his first shot of the season, first RBIs of the
season, and 83rd career blast.
Matt was right behind me in case I
misplayed it, as you can see in the
video, but I was in the perfect spot for it. Now why did I mention the clothes? Of course, if you watch, there I am, on
national TV, catching a HR in random street clothes. Way to represent as an Orioles fan, Avi.
No, I did not throw the Longoria ball
back. I got lots of heckles to do so,
but of course I just sat down and ignored them.
People were telling me I wasn't a real fan, Miss Kelly even came down
the steps and had to shush a fan who was pointing and screaming at me non-stop
for being a horrible person.
Here are some screen shots of the HR
catch (taken by @RobEffinBrown for
Here's the snag as it happened:
And zoomed in (with Matt right behind and
Zevi is there like 2 steps up in the orange):
Then here I am once I have the ball and
Matt is congratulating me on it:
And zoomed in:
And here's the ball itself:
Soon after, I got a text from Todd Cook
asking if Matt had caught the ball. I
told him no, I did. Then, I got lots of
tweets and texts of people asking about it.
It was exhilarating, and definitely a positive part to my day after a
really bad day before. Although it meant
the Orioles went down 4-0, so I didn't celebrate it publicly at all.
Todd and Tim came over to sit with us
soon after, as well as Nats fan and all around baseball fan Michael Jasser, who
I had never met before but who follows the blog. Was great to meet Michael and good to talk
with him for the rest of the game as he sat with us in LF for the remainder of
the afternoon.
Oh, here's Super-Jew Sam Fuld:
Tim Cook had brought a toy with him from
an Indians game that he had gotten of the mustard hot dog that runs in the hot
dog race in Cleveland, and as I was taking photos, he told me to take pictures
of the toy:
Matt had talked with Brandon Guyer the
day before (the day Guyer hit his first
ever HR on his first ever AB), so he told Matt to come by the dugout after
the game. Around the 8th
inning, Matt, Zevi, and I relocated to the Rays dugout:
Where after the game, Guyer gave Matt his
batting gloves. I attempted to get
Longoria to sign the ball, but he didn't.
I knew I could try again tomorrow, though.
Oh, and Guyer was optioned the next day.
Good stuff.
Pictured there are 2 balls (one on left
is the Reynolds HR, right is the game HR from Longo, gave away the Lee ball),
my ticket, and a kids Orioles mag I found on the way out.
Season stats (somehow, a ball got lost in translation
here, not sure where, but it's either 39 or 40):
Baseballs: 39 (28
hit, 11 on fly, 8 toss up, 3 found)

doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that with the iPad
selling so well over its opening weekend that we will have loads of
competing tablet computers coming to market very soon. One of the
tablet machines that we heard about back at CES in January was the HP
Slate.The first glimpse we caught of the Slate is when
Microsoft's Steve Ballmer showed
the device off during his CES keynote speech. Some are already
calling the Slate an iPad killer and whether or not that turns out to
be true remains to be seen. InformationWeek reports
that some of the key
features that users are bemoaning the lack of on the iPad
are front and center on the Slate. Things like support for Flash, a
camera, SD card slot, and USB connectivity are all featured on the
Slate.InformationWeek also
reports that HP released a video of the Slate in action this week
that was a scant 30 seconds, but offered enough details to stoke some
geek lust in many. The video of the device emphasizes the Windows 7
operating system, which makes the HP Slate much more extendable and
open than the iPad. HP is still mum on when we might expect the Slate
to hit the market, though it is widely expected to land this
fall.Engadget has
a slick
chart that shows the difference between the key features of
the HP tablet and the iPad. On paper at least it appears that the
Slate has the muscle to defeat the iPad. The HP Slate will reportedly
cost $549, run a 1.63 GHz Atom Z530 processor, and have five hours of
battery life. That is about half the run time that the iPad promises.
The Slate also has a smaller 8.9-inch screen compared to the iPad's
9.7-inch screen and a 1024 x 768 screen resolution. The
base iPad 16GB model is also about $50 cheaper than the entry-level
HP Slate. The main ingredient that the HP Slate lacks is the might of
the Apple marketing machine and the hoards of fanatically loyal users
that Apple boasts.

downloading of music and movies in an effort to increase CD and DVD sales. It's
no secret that subscription services like Netflix are a thorn in their sides,
offering movie rentals for one low monthly price. But now, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)
and the U.S. state of Tennessee are taking these efforts to revive DVD sales to
a whole new level by proposing a new law that could ban the sharing of Netflix
Netflix is an on-demand video streaming and video rental-by-mail company that launched
its subscription service in 1999. The user base grew quickly, reporting 23.6 million
subscribers worldwide this year. In addition, Netflix has Hollywood
executives shaking in their boots, and even pushed
Blockbuster into bankruptcy.
While Netflix continues to grow as far as audience and content goes, the movie
rental and streaming giant may encounter some problems in the state of
Tennessee. Tennessee lawmakers have passed a new bill that would make it illegal to share
passwords for Netflix, Rhapsody or other similar services
amongst friends.
The bill is awaiting the governor's approval, and if passed, could put sharers
of Netflix accounts in jail. According to one report, stealing
$500 or less of entertainment would be a misdemeanor, and would land a person
in jail for up to one year with a $2,500 fine.
The RIAA is backing Tennessee's bill in an effort to stop hackers who sell
passwords, and say that Netflix password pooling falls into that category. Bill
Ramsey, a Nashville lawyer, noted that those who share subscriptions within the
same household would not likely be apart of the ban, as small-scale violations
like that would be difficult to identify. But when one password exceeds about
10 people, that's when "a prosecutor might look and say, 'Hey, you knew it
was stealing.'"
This definitely isn't the RIAA's first attempt to get its share. After battling
filesharing service LimeWire in federal court over copyright infringement
claims, the RIAA won $105 million,
and many doubted its intent to share with recording artists, who were
supposedly the ones to benefit from the case. According to a report released a
couple weeks ago, the RIAA may distribute
some of the settlement money to artists, and while it may
pocket a large sum of the loot, it never said it would give artists nothing at
But many agree that this new measure is wandering into the zone of
ridiculousness, and are wondering where the RIAA will draw the line. What about
lending a friend a CD? Or a DVD box set? When will it be enough?

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to get an infection in pregnancy even if you do not have risk factors.
Risk factors for infection in pregnancy vary depending on the type of infection. General risk factors for infection during pregnancy include:
Viruses and bacteria that cause infections are passed through person-to-person contact. You are at higher risk of spreading and getting infections caused by bacteria and viruses if you:
- Do not wash your hands.
- Touch your nose, mouth, and eyes with contaminated fingers.
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) such as chlamydia , gonorrhea , herpes simplex virus, and HIV are passed from person to person during sexual contact. Your risk for STDs is higher if you have had:
- Many sex partners
- Sex with someone who has had many partners
- Sex without using condoms
Germs that cause infections such as listeriosis and toxoplasmosis have been found in:
- Uncooked meats
- Undercooked meat , such as rare beef, from infected animals
- Uncooked vegetables
- Unpasteurized milk
- Foods made from unpasteurized milk
- Processed foods
Your risk for these infections is higher if you eat these foods.
Lifestyle risk factors include:
- Having close contact with someone who has an infection
- Using household items that were used by an infected person and not properly cleaned
- Handling cat litter or soil where there is cat feces
Having a job that involves contact with bodily fluids, such as a:
- Childcare worker
- First aid or emergency worker
- Funeral director
- Healthcare worker
- Dentist
- Dental assistant
- Firefighter
- Police personnel

text: I've mentioned it before, but I would have thought that if Memphis was looking for a guy to replace Gay with a lower price tag that they would probable be looking to Indiana as a trade partner. Either Granger or George would be ideal for them I think. George is showing he has a huge upside and Granger would probably compliment Memphis' interior strengths with his outside shooting touch. If we could end up getting involved in a three team trade and wind up with George I would wet myself.

Boguts suposed to be back tonight. Hopefully raps can pull off an upset. Golden state has been great this year and adding bogut only makes them better.
Boguts suposed to be back tonight. Hopefully raps can pull off an upset. Golden state has been great this year and adding bogut only makes them better.
He is going to be a matchup nightmare, the boy can pass
lets hope there is lots of rust, and adjustment issues with him back
Haven't saw GSW games this season, going to be interesting one.
Barnes will be here as wel or as I call him now Coin Flip Boy.
I think we're almost for real, if we can pull this off.
Ross>Barnes. Should be an intersting game boy o boy did this team make a leap after being so awful last season but it just goes to show what a franchise talent brings to the team and Curry is awesome GSW games are a good watch.
If you havent seen Barnes play yet he plays very contained is the best way I can put it lol really lets the game come to him, He doesnt scream Im going to be a franchise guy to me.
if I remember correctly, there was a lot of rust when bogut first came back so im hoping against hope that he hurts them tonight if he does play, though he may just dominate us down low. GSW have been an exciting team to watch, I don't have a good feeling about this one
I also agree that barnes plays very contained and disciplined (at least during the games ive watched). I like his game from what ive seen

Been watching a lot of Golden State, and here are three important things:
1. DO NOT, turn the ball over against this team. They are very good at running the open floor, & running the break.
2. Contest every, single, shot. Curry, Thompson, Jack, Barnes, Rush. Especially the 3, don't allow them to get going.
3. Get on the boards, don't allow Lee, Landry, and their big men to dominate the glass. They usually come out on top when they win the glass.
Offensively, this should be a game where Davis, Johnson, and Derozan take advantage. Not great inside presence.
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
Hopefully the Warriors' shooters have off nights and Johnson/Davis can feast against Lee's bad defence and Ezeli (assuming Bogut doesn't start, otherwise hopefully he's very rusty)
on nbatv they just said bogut is starting for sure
They just said Gray is getting the start because of Bogut.
Probably no Lowry this game so maybe no crazy lead losses in the 4th? (Not that I realistically attribute that to him anyway)
We had some crazy lead losses with Jose in there as well. We play good basketball, but not always for 48 minutes. Still a young team, hopefully repetition will help them become more consistent with the effort.
he is holding his breath as well(hopefully he is as rusty as his razor)
There are 14 teams younger than Toronto.
There are 14 teams with less experience than Toronto.
Playoff teams or near playoff teams younger than Toronto include:
- Indiana
- Memphis
- Golden State
- Portland
- Denver
- Houston
Youth is not the problem - a lack of TALENT is.
Not too worried about Bogut, considering he's barely played and this is his first game back. Much more worried with Stephen Curry and David Lee.
Plus those stats will be last years news fast when jose and Andrea goes. Our core is made up of players that are still maturing on the NBA stage. Mathematical averages in excel are not going to mask that reality.

ASUS announced its new ASUS Xonar DX PCI Express 7.1 Audio Card earlier this year. The company claims that the new sound card delivers 35 times cleaner audio compared to onboard audio built into your mainboard.
The new Xonar DX card is tuned for audio quality with 116dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and features other sound enhancing technologies like Dolby Home Theater and DS3D GX. To compare ASUS says that the typical on-board audio solution has 85dB SNR.
The Xonar DX uses the CirrusLogics CS4398 audio DAC that is typically used in Hi-Fi devices. The card is also able to take advantage of the latest DirectSound and EAX 5.0 sound effects in PC games for Windows Vista. ASUS also integrates its VocalFX technology that allows for users voices to be integrated into games via VoiceEX and to emulate background scenes in online chats (ChatEX).
Other features include support for Dolby Digital Live, Dolby Headphone, Dolby Virtual Speaker, and Dolby Pro Logix IIx. The audio processor used for the card is the ASUS AV100 High-Definition Sound Processor. The analog playback sample rate and resolution s 44.1K/48K/96K/192KHz at 16/24 bits. The analog recording sample rate and resolution is the same. A digital S/PDIF Digital Output is featured as well with Dolby Digital and DTS.
The best news for PC users that like the specifications of the Xonar DX is that the card will retail for only $89. The new Xonar DX will fit into the ASUS line alongside the previously announced Xonar sound cards including the Xonar U1 external audio processor, Xonar D2 and the Xonar D2K.

The bombshells from HP continue to fall from the sky.
Earlier today, it was confirmed that HP is
abandoning the webOS platform which it acquired
from Palm for $1.2 billion USD just over a year ago. Now, were hearing
reports that HP plans to announce that it will sell off its Personal Systems
Group (PSG) which is responsible for consumer and business PCs.
The company stated in a press release:
also reported that it plans to announce that its board of directors has
authorized the exploration of strategic alternatives for its Personal Systems
Group (PSG). HP will consider a broad range of options that may include, among
others, a full or partial separation of PSG from HP through a spin-off or other
To many, this may seem like a strange move considering that HP
is the number one seller of computers in the world (we're sorry Apple, but
we're not
going to count the iPad). According
to Garner, HP shipped over 14.8 million PCs during the second quarter of 2011
to secure 17.5% of the market. Dell was the next closest with 10.6
IDC produced similar figures and reported that HP shipped
15.2 million PCs/18.1% compared to 10.9 million/12.9% for Dell.
Despite HP's beastly PC shipments, the never-ending race to
the bottom when it comes to final transaction prices for consumers means that
there's little room for profit in this cutthroat business. While Apple can get
away with charging customers $999
for an 11" notebook or $2,499
for a 17" desktop replacement notebook, PC users tend to be more price
A June
report from The Loop suggests
that Apple makes more money from selling just one computer than HP does from
selling seven.
Bloomberg reports that HP, which is helmed by
Leo Apotheker, wants to leave the hardware business behind and focus on its
more lucrative software and cloud services offerings. "This is the direction we
want him to take," stated ISI Group analyst Abhey Lamba. "Get out of a low-
margin business and focus more on his core competency, which is software."More specifically, HP has laid out these three keys for its new "company transformation":

Prediction for 2013 Technology
What do people in the EDA and semiconductor industries expect to happen in 2013? This clearly establishes the directions that they intend to focus on and where they will place their dollars...
A few weeks ago, I asked many people in the industry for their predictions for 2013. I separately asked for those related to technology in general, to the EDA industry and for business predictions. In this first part I will be presenting their technology predictions. It should not be surprising that many of the same predictions are being made by different people with power, 3D and FinFETs topping the table. Mobile and use of the cloud appear to be the principle drivers.
They appear in the order in which they were received.
Mike Santarini - Publisher of Xilinxs Xcell JournalI believe we are going to see a lot more 3D ICs starting to get manufactured, much greater degrees of system integration via SoC or even 3D SoC type devices to serve a number of growing markets, most notably in embedded vision for automobiles, factories, security as well as smarter networks with amazing bandwidth capabilities to support a plethora of new connected devices (tablets, smart phones, health monitors, etc.)
Ed Bard - Sr. Director of Marketing, Digital IP and FPGA, SynopsysAs we enter 2013, we are entering the third dimension - 3D transistor structures. With the transition to FinFET, we will see accelerated development of IP supporting this new technology. The technology adjustments for FinFET are substantial. IP providers will need to have a deep understanding of IP architecture and only those with direct experience with FinFET devices will be able to successfully develop IP that delivers the true benefits of this technology in the areas of performance, leakage, dynamic power, inter-die variability and retention voltage.
Prasad Paranjpe - Galaxy Platform Marketing Manager, SynopsysMobile computing will continue to drive technology trends in 2013. The biggest challenge will be to maximize compute performance per unit of energy, MIPs/mWh. The 2 biggest trends in technology will be designs that utilize FinFET and 3D-IC. FinFETs will accelerate adoption of 20nm and smaller node.
Mobile will shape trends not just in portable electronics which depend on battery life but in driving the demand for cloud computing. Content is now primarily stored in the cloud. This is true for multimedia such as movies, videos, photos as well as content on social networks. People communicate via the cloud and they consume content via the cloud. They expect voice recognition on mobile devices which is powered by powerful computers that do the processing in the cloud. The data centers that make up the cloud use so much energy that power efficient computing will be needed to minimize overall power costs. This is independent of battery life in portable devices.
The single biggest technology driver for MIPs/mWh will be FinFET technology. The power/performance benefits of FinFETs will be the principle way to deliver more performance at the same power or the same performance for less power.
The 2nd biggest trend will be the acceleration of 3D-IC technology to achieve higher density within reasonable thermal bounds. Inter-device bandwidth bottlenecks will force adoption of heterogeneous integration methods, such as 2.5 and 3D-IC to meet the increased demands for streaming multimedia content. Memory integration and FPGAs are leading the way in these technologies but we will see more companies look forward to integration of MEMS, FPGA and analog IP either on the same silicon interposer substrate or stacked vertically in a true 3D-IC system.
Designers will still need to squeeze every last drop out of the silicon. Voltages will go down in order to save power. Lower voltages will make it more critical to manage on chip variation, reliability and signal integrity. These factors coupled with new routing rules will make it necessary to evaluate everything at once to produce designs which are correct by construction.
Cary Chin, director of technical marketing, low power solutions, Synopsys
- Cloud computing model becomes the clear direction for the teens decade
- Continued move in personal computing toward mobile devices
- Tablet becomes the new PC
- Personal computing focuses more on the man-machine interface (voice, touch, correction), with other tasks done in the cloud
- Communication is everything

"Really good blackout blinds"
By Satisfied shopper from Princeton, NJ
We did all of the windows with Crystal Pleat blackout blinds from Blindsgalore when we moved into our place 13 years ago. We were very pleased - got tons of compliments from visitors because the colors are so nice and they do the job perfectly. We just replaced two blinds this year - and the quality is even better now. Customer service at Blindgalore was very helpful.View this product

I read from afar with shock and amazement the story about John McHenry being charged with a felony for a multitude of reasons. Reading the article, it became quite clear what transpired. This situation is clearly a letter of the law versus a spirit of the law situation.
I have known John McHenry and the McHenry family since John was in high school. He is a young man with high standards and strong core values. One of those core values is a strong sense of private property and personal responsibility. Unfortunately, it appears that letter of the law enforcement was evoked when a spirit of the law situation arose. Clearly, law enforcement ignored the sense of urgency the strong-willed McHenry understandably exuded while fearing for the worst for his property and his animals.
The purpose of this email is to urge common sense and pragmatic cooler heads to prevail in a situation where a well-intending law enforcement servant met up with a strong-willed land and livestock owner genuinely concerned for the well-being of his animals and property in a crisis situation.
Granted, the deputy had the authority to restrain McHenry. But then again, were this property and at-risk animals the responsibility of the deputy, he might not have been as zealous toward duty and allowed McHenry to do what he had to in protecting his livelihood and possessions. Important to this discussion, if the charges stick, McHenry will never teach again. Is that appropriate to the situation? I think not.
There is no blame to be cast here. There is only understanding that both participants were driven by a sense of duty and responsiblity that prompted the incident. One can only hope that charges are dropped and that everyone can learn from this unfortunately, crisis driven situation. Much can be learned by both.
The 25 years I was fortunate to live and raise my family in Cortez and Montezuma County honed a strong foundation of fairness and common sense. I sincerely hope that times have not changed my beloved former home into a letter of the law, unforgiving and punitive community.

Body found in hunt for teenager
Police searching for an Irish teenager who disappeared during a night out in London's West End have found a body.
Patrick Halpin, 18, was last seen shortly after midnight on Wednesday when he left the Zoo Bar in Bear Street, Leicester Square, in central London.
Scotland Yard said a bod y was discovered at around 7.50pm today in an enclosed area in the vicinity of Burger King and the Zoo Bar off Leicester Square.
Inquiries are under way to establish the identity of the deceased, a police spokesman said.
Patrick was visiting the capital on a trip with his college.
His sister, Regina Ni hAilpin, earlier issued an appeal on Facebook to help find her brother.
She wrote: "(Patrick) was in London on a trip this week and went missing from a nightclub last night and hasn't been seen since.
"He was in The Zoo nightclub just of Leicester Square and left to go to Burger King but did not return home. He should have been staying in the Astor Museum Hostel, Bloomsbury, London."
A later post appealed for help in carrying out a search: " Hey everybody, this is Regina's friend posting on behalf of the family. We really appreciate all your messages and offers of support, we plan to carry out a search tonight if anyone in the London area is available."

Every team should fear mediocrity, but a mediocre team in my opinion is a team that barely makes the playoffs every year, or just can't get in. So a team in the 12-17 range. These are the draft picks that typically are not good enough to help elevate the team into the next "tier".
However one common thread for most mediocre teams is a team with a bunch of slightly overpaid vets. If a team has a lot of youth, and flexibility to add assets (via lop sided trades, or free agency) then those teams can still become better even if they are in that dreaded 12-17 range.
I am very skeptical of BC, but he has a team of youth with flexibility. The core is gradually being built from the ground up (Casey/JV/Lowry make a nice start) and the core will be added to every year either organically (DeMar/Ross/Fields) or through future transactions. And one thing about BC is that he likes wheeling and dealing. I just regret that we couldn't move into the 1-7 range last year since those were potentially the best picks available, but c'est la vie.
Last year the team was in 8th (actually tied for 8th) worst, and the year before that 5th worst. That's a good spot to be in. If their goal is playoffs this year, then that's fine because I like part of that core. If they continue to just make the playoffs or end up 9th/10th/11th, then its something to worry about, but we have not even scratched the surface of mediocrity, so in my opinion it's too early to talk about it.

You didn't answer my question.Kabouterke wrote:But you said it yourself, they oppress people in the name of Buddhism. They did it in the name of Buddhism, full stop.

Anyone can do anything in the name of anything.
So which is it? Are they Buddhists, or not?With all of these milliosn of posts I've written today, I tried to show that I actually agree with you. I don't believe they are real Buddhists. [..] For them, for everybody it was "Buddhist violence": it came from a group that is Buddhist.

A more accurate headline for these news articles would read "Violent mob posing as Buddhist monks terrorizes Muslim minority."
If you want to give credence to the concept of "Buddhist violence", yes. Without it, you just have a group of people, with no clear religious affiliation, doing violent acts while posing as Buddhists.Kabouterke wrote:Is it necessary to find evidence of that?mettafuture wrote:This is indeed a more nuanced way to look at this topic.Lazy_eye wrote:I think we can make the topic under discussion a little more focused if we ask instead: "is committing violence consistent with the Buddha's teachings?"
As far as I've seen, evidence to support such a correlation has yet been presented.
