TxDOT sets date for "Big Shift"
Beginning Sunday night, March 17, bridge crews will begin the week-long process to shift traffic at the Neches River Bridge, also known as the Purple Heart Memorial Bridge. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) says the "Big Shift" will eventually move all eastbound traffic to the westbound lanes of the bridge.
Beginning 9 p.m. Sunday, bridge crews will close one westbound lane to move the concrete barrier, weather permitting. On Wednesday night, workers will have alternating westbound lane closures to continue setting the barrier, followed by a Thursday night eastbound closure for more barrier work. Beginning Friday night and into the weekend, the contractor will complete barrier work and re-striping the westbound bridge to handle eastbound traffic, and then shift traffic to the westbound bridge. Workers will also temporarily close the entrance ramp to eastbound I-10 from downtown to construct a temporary detour. TxDOT expects to have the switch to the westbound bridge and the ramp completed by Sunday afternoon, Mar. 24, weather permitting. Once completed, the westbound bridge will handle two lanes of westbound traffic and two lanes of eastbound traffic.
The work is part of the state's $59 million project to build a new I-10 crossing at the Neches River. The project contractor, Williams Brothers, expects to be complete in mid-2015.

International Opera Company of the Month: Outcast Opera Company
BroadwayWorld is excited to expand its popular feature series outside the U.S. borders setting our sights on showcasing performance companies around the world! Each month we will introduce you to an intearnational theater, dance and opera company located in one of our coverage countries.
Today, we're thrilled to present you to the Outcast Opera Company in Brisbane, Australia!
The Outcast Opera Company is a performing arts collective for local Brisbane artists across multiple disciplines. Created specifically for young and emerging performers Outcast aims to create exciting new works that are not limited by traditional forms or instrumentation but still retain the integrity and beauty of classical voice.
The Outcast team understands the need to be creative with classical music and have developed the concept of 'duality' on stage. Vocal artists are paired with physical performers creating high energy visual shows that are as much a feast for the eyes as the ears. From ballet to pole dance, forget your 'opera glasses', you won't need them to enjoy the action on stage.
All our singers are classically trained as are many of our dancers however you won't find any old recycled operatic repetoire at an Outcast show. Sure we like Mozart and Verdi but we have confidence in the talent of our up and coming local composers and believe in creating 100% original works that are revelant to todays society. The trained voice is an extrememly adaptable instrument and our composers are charged with reinventing opera using modern instrumentation for a society bought up on rock, not Rossini.
Outcast is about creating music for all audiences. You don't need to like classical music, you won't need to read any subtitles, you don't have to know anything about opera at all! You just have to love a great show and be able to appreciate the incredible talent of our young local artists.
In June 2013, Outcast will present METAMORPHOSIS. This hybrid acousto-electric opera travels through the grimey city layers into the secret world of insects. Designed as an adaptable festival piece, this energetic work will be a fusion of colour, movement and voice.
For more information on Outcast Opera Company, visit their official website http://www.outcastopera.com/index.html
If you know of an international performance company we should feature, send your suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com

Two winners will share the second-largest jackpot in U.S. history after the Mega Millions draw on Tuesday.
One winner bought a ticket at Jennifer's Gift Shop in San Jose, California, the other at Gateway Newsstand in Atlanta. They will soon split a jackpot that could top $648 million according to a California Lottery spokesperson.
CBS News reports that the winners have beaten the 1 in 259 million odds of drawing a winning ticket, which Mega Millions recently changed from 1 in 176 million in order to create bigger jackpots. The current jackpot swelled to its enormous size after 22 consecutive draws without a winner.

WASHINGTON, March 24 (UPI) -- A top gay marriage opponent called on the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold California's Proposition 8 as the will of the majority in the Golden State.
The Supreme Court hears argument in a challenge to Prop 8 Tuesday.
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, told CBS's "Face the Nation" moderator Bob Schieffer opinion polls that suggest a majority of Americans now approve of gay marriage aren't the right indicator.
"The polls that really matter are the polls that are taken when the people actually vote on this," Perkins said. "And when people have voted, as late as 10 months ago, 30 states have put the natural definition of marriage into their state constitution, on average by a vote of 67 percent."
Perkins also assailed what he called an attack on "religious freedom" in the United States if gay marriage were to become the law of the land.
He also said of parents and business owners who don't want to be involved with gay couples getting married -- or have their children learn about them -- shouldn't be forced to do so.
"You have Catholic Charities no longer doing adoptions ... as a result of same-sex marriage in [Washington] D.C.," he said. "You have got parental rights that have been lost. Parents no longer determine -- being able to determine what their children are taught, whose moral values their taught in schools. We have small businessmen losing their rights because they won't participate in same-sex ceremonies."

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI and his brother, along with the pope's assistant secretary, quitely took off for the mountains last evening.
The Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, reported today that the three went to the tiny town of Rosciolo di Magliano dei Marsi, home to the tiny romanesque Church of St. Mary. Built around 1080, it was connected to a Benedictine monastery that no longer exists. Along with the pastor and another priest, the pope and his little entourage recited the vespers for the feast of St. Clare, then went for a little walk on the mountain paths. The town is at an elevation of about 3,000 feet above sea level.
L'Osservatore reported that Pope Benedict, Msgr. Georg Ratzinger and Msgr. Alfred Xuereb returned to the papal villa at Castel Gandolfo shortly after 8:30 p.m.

Greek ex-minister says country's secret services spied on 2 US ambassadors
ATHENS, Greece – A former foreign minister of Greece revealed Tuesday that his country's intelligence services had eavesdropped on the phone conversations of U.S. ambassadors to Athens and Ankara in the 1990s.
Theodoros Pangalos, who held the foreign minister post from 1996-1999, made the comments on Vima FM radio in a discussion about the latest revelations in the American NSA surveillance affair. The German magazine Der Spiegel has published a slide purportedly from the NSA showing Athens as one of the locations where the NSA had monitoring capabilities.
"At some point the (National Intelligence Service) had managed to monitor not only the American ambassador in Athens, but also to monitor the American ambassador in Ankara," Panaglos said.
Pangalos didn't give a specific timeframe for the monitoring but said it didn't last long. He claimed he didn't learn anything particularly significant from it.
"But sometimes it was very entertaining to hear the American ambassador telling his colleague in Ankara, or someone in the State Department, `what is this (expletive) Pangalos doing?"' he said.

Brewers' RHP Hand clears waivers
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Right-handed pitcher Donovan Hand cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A by the Brewers after being designated for assignment last week when the team signed free-agent reliever Francisco Rodriguez.
The team said Wednesday that Hand will have an invite to major league camp as a non-roster player when it opens spring training this weekend.
Hand went 1-5 with a 3.69 ERA in 68 1-3 innings in a solid rookie year last season. He pitched in 31 games, making seven starts.
Rodriguez signed a one-year, $3.25 million contract. The veteran will likely set up closer Jim Henderson.

Tag, He's 'It' for Another Year
Friends' Decades-Old Contest Became More Cutthroat With Newfound Fame
It is going to be another long year for Mike Konesky.
He was tagged Thursday night while entering a school play in Spokane, Wash., with his wife and daughters, leaving too little time to get someone else before the game ended at midnight. That means next February will start the same way this one did: with Mr. Konesky as "It."
"I was completely blindsided," said Mr. Konesky, one of 10 participants in the 24-year game of Tag chronicled in a front-page Wall Street Journal article in January.
The game, which is live only in February, often doesn't get going until the end of the month. This year was different, as local and national media descended upon the participants, upping the action and the stakes. "It" changed hands at least 30 times over 28 days.
One morning in early February, Joe Caferro arrived at a television station in Seattle where some of the guys were meeting to tape an interview. While waiting in the lobby, the aerospace engineer got a text message from Patrick Schultheis to come out to his car and join him on a call with the group's agent, who has been fielding offers for the movie rights.
Previously 'It'
See Related Video on #WorldStream
When his friend got near, the trunk opened and out came Joe Tombari, who tagged Mr. Caferro on the back as he yelled, "You're It, you b—!"
A few days later, Mr. Schultheis's father died unexpectedly, raising questions about how the game would proceed. Mr. Schultheis promptly announced that the funeral of Judge John Schultheis would be in play. "My dad thought this whole thing was hilarious," he says, noting Tag was a topic of their last conversation.
During the service, as Mr. Caferro walked toward the altar to take communion, he paused at the front row and grabbed his friend's shoulder. Mr. Schultheis looked up to acknowledge what he thought was a sympathetic gesture. Mr. Caferro mouthed, "You're It," and went on his way.
"It" later got back to Mr. Tombari, who enlisted his daughter in a plot to shed the label. He called Mr. Caferro's mother, who gave up the Spokane restaurant where her son would be having lunch. "There is no honor in this game," Mr. Caferro said of his mom's betrayal.
The father-daughter team dressed as an old couple and shuffled into the restaurant, where they went unnoticed until a stooped Mr. Tombari stopped at his friend's table and put his hand on his shoulder. "It took me about a second-and-a-half to recognize him," said Mr. Caferro. "He had the old-Russian-novelist costume."
As the month wound down and tensions ran high, the players raised their games. On Wednesday, Rick Bruya found out which flight Mr. Schultheis was taking home from Arizona and headed to the Seattle airport, where he found a town-car driver holding a sign with his friend's name on it. But Mr. Schultheis, anticipating an ambush, had hired the car as a decoy. So while Mr. Bruya waited, Mr. Schultheis escaped through another concourse, hopped into his car and drove home. "It cost me a hundred bucks," Mr. Schultheis said. "But it was worth it."
The tag sealing Mr. Konesky's fate happened where the game began: at Gonzaga Preparatory School, where the participants attended high school in the 80s.
Mr. Bruya had managed to tag Mr. Tombari, a Gonzaga teacher, Thursday on the softball field where Mr. Tombari coaches the high-school girls' team. That night, Mr. Konesky had just bought the tickets and was following his family into a darkened auditorium for a production of The Little Mermaid, when Mr. Tombari emerged from behind the door. Mr. Konesky's wife had told Mr. Tombari where they'd be.
"I really didn't sleep [Thursday] night," Mr. Konesky said. "I can't believe I'm 'It' for another year."
Corrections & Amplifications
The restaurant where Joe Tombari tagged Joe Caferro is in Spokane. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said it is in Seattle. In addition, a photo was incorrectly credited to Patrick Schultheis in an earlier version of this article. The credit is Sean Raftis.

Long Overdue Update!
I can't seem to update this blog anymore, yet I just can't quit it! I am going to try to update a little more frequently, just to keep my toes in the water.
To update you: we are all doing great. Cakes continues to be a little firecracker. She is currently obsessed with Kate Middleton. Observe her Halloween costume!
Sherwood is awesome. He's my sweet little boy. There's just something about a little boy—it's indescribable. He turned two in July. Can you believe it!
McHotty is great, and as hot as ever. Work is very interesting. I've been working on the eBook side for about a year now, and it's never a dull moment. A few months ago I moved to a different publishing house, with a much bigger digital team. It's been a smooth transition, and I'm having a ball.
Next update will be much sooner, I promise!

Theatre-Masks.com provides masks to professional theatres, individual artists, and educational institutions worldwide.
There is no other mask studio that places as much attention to top-quality, professional-grade materials; sophistication of sculpture; fair pricing; and customer service.
The masks made by master mask maker Jonathan Becker are living form or also referred to as expressive form. They appear to change expression as the body moves underneath them or as they are moved through space.
Shop For Masks Buy Masks Buy A Custom Made Mask
Watch Jonathan talk about the Work and his artistic Mission
Commedia Dell'Arte Masks
Our most popular masks are designed for the Commedia Dell'Arte. Consisting of stock comedic characters such as Arlechino and Pantelone, they have great significance, each with a rich history and story behind it. Commedia Masks are often used in actor training, focusing on the connection between movement and expression. Our Commedia Dell'Arte Masks are based in the historical forms, but lean toward a more modern sculptural style.
Character Masks and Character Half-Masks
These Character masks and character half masks have been designed for both classroom use and for professional touring companies. The character masks are based very strongly in particular passions (rage, fear, jealousy etc.). For actor training the masks are great for encouraging an understanding of action and play. The full-face character masks lend themselves to a pure play of action and the character half masks allow for the use of text.
Neutral Masks
The neutral theatre masks are intended mainly for the training of actors. The neutral mask leads the actor toward a state of alert availability and an understanding of discovery, economy of movement and presence. It is a mask that is most strongly connected to the teaching methods developed by Jacques Lecoq. Neutral masks from the studio are currently being used in many of the top training programs.
Greek Masks
Masks were an essential part of the Greek Theatre. Masks in the Greek Theatre provided means of transformation. The Greek actor was able to put on a second face and transcend everyday life taking on a theatrical persona. Our masks have been created over the years for a variety of plays and have been based loosely on ancient designs. Our Greek Masks are a three-quarter mask, covering the face except for the mouth.
Comedy/Tragedy Masks
The comedy tragedy masks originate in the Greek Theatre. They have come to symbolize drama in the western world. We have both decorative and wearable Comedy Tragedy masks.
Mardi Gras & Costume Masks
Mardi Gras, the Carnival of the Americas, is the largest masked party on the continent. Mardi Gras has its origins in the mix of the French and African cultures of New Orleans. Like carnival, Mardi Gras begins of "Fat Tuesday" and ends with the beginning of Lent. Our Mardi Gras masks are of the highest quality and intended to inspire mystery and celebration.
Masks for Shows & Miscellaneous Individual Masks
The predesigned individual masks and masks for shows have been created specifically for scripted works where masks are the central part of the theatrical event. Masks are available for Aesop's Fables, James and the Giant Peach, Jack or the Submission, and others. This is an area of the site where animal masks and Greek masks are in abundance.
Larval Masks
These Larval Masks are based on the Carnival masks of Ball, Switzerland. They oversized and abstract, representing a character of sorts that is in it's very early stage of intellectual development.
Each of the masks is caught in a very simple state of naiveté. The world looms large and unsolvable for these masks. Wear one and humor ensues!
About The Artist
Jonathan Becker is a mask maker, teaching artist and performer. He began sculpting masks in 1986 while a student in Paris, France and founded Theater-Masks.com in 1990 upon his return to the United States. Clients include Disney Theatrical in association with The Lion King, The Bravo Cable Network and Theater of Enchantment in Philadelphia. Jonathan has created hundreds of masks for theatre companies, producing organizations, individual artists and training programs in over 50 countries.

Language is a wonderful thing. We often choose our words carefully, depending on the occasion. But most of the time we are in informal situations, with our friends, classmates, colleagues and so on and then we go onto auto-pilot and our language just flows. Have you thought about the impossibility of speaking English without using metaphors? It's impossible. Even just saying 'I'm freezing', or 'I died laughing', or 'I see what you're getting at' – the list can go on forever – we are using the richness of poetic English in everything we say. But even more, we can't get through a day without quoting Shakespeare. And we're not even thinking about it.
There is a poster used in many English literature classrooms in England that shows a bit of that. It was devised by a famous English journalist, Bernard Levin, published in The Times newspaper some years ago, and this is it:
If you cannot understand my argument and declare it's Greek to me, you are quoting Shakespeare. If you claim to be more sinned against than sinning, you are quoting Shakespeare. If you act more in sorrow than in anger, if your wish is father to the thought, if your lost property has vanished into thin air, you are quoting Shakespeare. If you have ever refused to budge an inch or suffered from green-eyed jealousy, if you have played fast and loose, if you have been tongue-tied – a tower of strength – hoodwinked or been in a pickle, if you have knitted your brows – made a virtue of necessity, insisted on fair play – slept not one wink – stood on ceremony – danced attendance on your lord and master – laughed yourself into stitches, had short shrift – cold comfort, or too much of a good thing, if you have seen better days, or lived in a fool's paradise, why, be that as it may, the more fool you, for it is a foregone conclusion that you are as good luck would have it, quoting Shakespeare. If you think it is high time, and that that is the long and the short of it, if you believe that the game is up, and that the truth will out, even if involves your own flesh and blood, if you lie low – till the crack of doom because you suspect foul play, if you have your teeth set on edge at one fell swoop – without rhyme or reason, then to give the devil his due if the truth were known for surely you have a tongue in your head, you are quoting Shakespeare. Even if you bid me good riddance and send me packing, if you wish I was dead as a doornail, if you think I am an eyesore – a laughing stock – the devil incarnate – a stony-hearted villain – bloody-minded, or a blinking idiot, then by jove – o lord– tut, tut! – For goodness sake – what the dickens! – but me no buts – it is all one to me, for you are quoting Shakespeare.
How's that for an example of the many phrases Shakespeare introduced to the English language – and the world?!

What do you think about my translation?Helvetii cum patrum nostrorum tempore domo profecti essent, consulis exercitum in fugam dederant
In the time of our fathers, the Helvetians set out from home, they (the Helvetians) had put to flight the consul's army.
Is the missing subject from the second clause in the Latin sentence the Helvetians? Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance!

Would anybody like to see this early version of Beastman in the Classics line at some point?
I kind of like it.

I'd like a red Beastman further down the road as a repaint.
The earlierer version of Beastman didnt last long for a good reason.
The actual classic version seems perfect to me.
I'd buy a red version.

Nope, we have Beastman. Let's continue on with the rest of the classic figures.
he's too monochromatic. if they did a repaint with red fur instead of orange, that would be okay, but a completely red beast man (excluding stuff like the eyes and mouth) seems a little dull.

Black MAA? Where?
As for Beast Man, that's an interesting idea, but I wouldn't want it until waaaaay down the line. Possibly an early mini-comic multipack. That would be cool: a more Alcala Skeletor, red Beastie, orange Stratos, Green Goddess, and a He-Man in his first appearance (naked save for a loincloth and carrying a spear).
MOTUC Most Wanted: Skeleteen, Prince Keldor, Captain Randor, The Great Black Wizard, Lady Slither, Spirit, Tuvar, Baddra, Cursed Marzo, Tug-O-War, Scrollos, Songster, Mini-Comics Spirit of Castle Grayskull, and for the love of the Sorceress and Julie Winston, ODIPHUS!!!

Those custom looks awesome MegaGearMax!! Thanks for the pic.
He's built like a gorilla in that early version, stubby legs and longer arms. It would be funny if it wasn't a collar but a mane, and he really was only wearing the bicept armor, and a neclace with teeth and the medalion.
I love my Skeletor but I would buy that Skeletor in a heartbeat.I'd buy a red beastman too but only if they plan on making the other color schemes for other characters like Mer-man,Stratos etc.
they could make at some point (after 1-2 years if the line lasts well) packages of alternative heads set, maybe 4/5 heads together, imagine an Alcala Skeletor, or an Angry Teela, or an Intelligent-looking Prince Adam.. that would be sweet...
.. and a little disturbing to looking at.
That repaint doesn't look half bad. I'd buy it.

The Columbia University Libraries will soon begin development of a graphical Citation Style Language editor in collaboration with Mendeley, a technology company specializing in research management tools for academics. The project will be funded as a result of a $125,000 award from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
Through the method of Agile development, an open-source tool will be created to generate, modify, and share bibliographic citation styles. This tool is expected to find widespread use in academic disciplines, particularly in situations where new media and new forms of intellectual production require methods of citation not yet accounted for in current citation styles.
The tool will also enable users to freely develop their own bibliographic styles for annotated bibliographies, personal resumes, or cases where citation conventions are unnecessarily complex. The code produced during this project will be deposited into an open-source repository at the conclusion of the project. This will enable the developer community to build upon the advances in visual manipulation of markup language made possible as a result of this collaboration.
The funding comes specifically from the Digital Information Technology program at the Sloan Foundation, an initiative focused on research and development of digital information technology for the conduct of scholarly research and public engagement.
Columbia University Libraries/Information Services is one of the top five academic research library systems in North America. The collections include over 11 million volumes, over 150,000 journals and serials, as well as extensive electronic resources, manuscripts, rare books, microforms, maps, and graphic and audio-visual materials. The services and collections are organized into 22 libraries and various academic technology centers. The Libraries employs more than 500 professional and support staff. The website of the Libraries is the gateway to its services and resources: library.columbia.edu.
Mendeley is the world's largest research collaboration platform, with over 1.3M researchers worldwide. Mendeley provides real-time statistics, trends by research area, and recommendations for related research based on its crowd-sourced database of over 130M research documents. Launched in January 2009, the company has offices in London and New York, and its investors include those who previously built Skype, Last.fm and Warner Music Group.

Status of DPH Benchmarks
Benchmarking results last updated on: 3nd December 2010.
This page gives an overview of how well the benchmarks in the dph-examples/ directory of package dph are currently working.
The benchmarks are run each night by DPH BuildBot. The results are posted to ghc-builds and uploaded to http://log.ouroborus.net/limitingfactor/dph/. Check there for the latest numbers.
- Running debug threaded programs with heap profiling triggers an assertion in the RTS. Running them without debugging is a segfault.
- QuickHull: vectorised.par.N1 version is 6x slower than the immutable Data.Vector version in absolute terms.
- QuickSort: vectorised.seq version doesn't compile due to a blow-up in SpecConstr.
- SMVM: Fusion doesn't work. Vectorised program 1000x slower than the C version with small matrix sizes. For 1000x1000 with 10% fill ratio it takes about 1s and allocates 400M memory, while the C program is instantaneous. For larger sizes it dies with OOM.
- BarnesHut: Builds but runs very slowly. The immediate problem is that some dictionaries are recursive, their methods don't inlined, so fusion doesn't work. Version with -fllvm takes 30 min to compile, suspect complexity problems in LLVM mangler.
- Benchmarks are currently being run with -fasm, and not via the LLVM backend. This will affect comparisons with C, but not with Data.Vector as it uses the same backend.
Flat Parallelism
Flat parallel programs are ones in which parallel computations do not invoke further parallel computations. For Repa, this means that the value of each element in a given array can be computed independently of the others. These should run as fast as equivalent programs using immutable Data.Vector. We'd also hope to get close to the performance of C programs using equivalent algorithms, though this is a harder comparison due to differences in the back-end code generator.
|Matrix-Matrix multiplication. Size=1024x1024.
name runtime speedup efficiency notes repa.mmult.c.seq 3.792s 1 1 A repa.mmult.par.N1 8.484s 0.45 0.45 repa.mmult.par.N4 2.147s 1.77 0.44 repa.mmult.par.N8 1.097s 3.46 0.43
A: Straightforward C program using triple nested loops. A cache-friendly block-based version would be faster.
Status: Ok, but about 20% slower than in 6.13.
ToDo: Run without bounds checking.
|Laplace (SLOWLORIS)
|Solves the Laplace equation in the 2D plane. Size=400x400.
name runtime speedup efficiency notes repa.laplace.c.seq 1.299s 1 1 A repa.laplace.par.N1 9.405s 0.14 0.14 repa.laplace.par.N4 2.521s 0.51 0.13 repa.laplace.par.N8 2.124s 0.61 0.08
A: Straightforward C program using triple nested loops. A cache-friendly block-based version would be faster.
Status: Too slow. We should check this again with LLVM.
ToDo: Run without bounds checking. Run with more threads to see if we can get back to the C version's run time.
|Applies a Gaussian blur filter to a 2D image. Size=512x512.
name runtime speedup efficiency notes repa.blur.par.N1 2.620s 1 - repa.blur.par.N4 0.717s 3.65 - repa.blur.par.N8 0.414s 6.33 -
ToDo: Runs ok, but need other versions for comparison.
|Performs Canny edge detection to a 2D image. Size=512x512.
name runtime speedup efficiency notes repa.edgedetect.par.N1 206ms 1 - repa.edgedetect.par.N4 79ms 2.6 - repa.edgedetect.par.N8 55ms 3.75 -
ToDo: Runs ok, but need other versions for comparison.
|Performs high-pass filtering using 2D and 3D FFTs. These are naive benchmarks used for regression testing only. They divide right down to (rank generalise) two-point vectors and construct the result using copying append. Using an inplace algorithm (like with FFTW) would be significantly faster.
ToDo: Runs ok, but need other versions for comparison.
Statically Nested Parallelism
Statically nested parallelism is where the parallelism has a fixed, finite depth. For example
mapP f (filterP g xs). Statically nested programs are easier to vectorise than dynamically nested programs. At present, single threaded statically nested programs should run as fast as equivalent Data.Vector programs. Parallel versions should display a good speedup.
|Computes the sum of the squares from 1 to N using Int. N = 100M.

Status: fine
|Computes the dot product of two vectors of Doubles. N=10M.
name runtime speedup efficiency notes dph.dotp.vector.seq.N4 68ms 1 1 dph.dotp.vectorised.seq.N4 58ms 1.17 A dph.dotp.vectorised.par.N1 55ms 1.24 1.24 B dph.dotp.vectorised.par.N2 33ms 2.06 1.03 dph.dotp.vectorised.par.N4 25ms 2.72 0.68 dph.dotp.c.seq 45ms 1.35
A: The core for the vectorised.seq version is equivalent to the vector version. We expect the backend has compiled it differently. Check this again with LLVM.
B: The vectorised.par version runs faster than vectorised.seq because the latter has a duplicate counter in the inner loop. We need a duplicate-loop-counter removal optimisation.
Status: fine
|Takes the even valued Ints from a vector. N=10M.
name runtime speedup efficiency notes dph.evens.vector.seq.N4 98ms 1 1 dph.evens.vectorised.seq.N4 174ms 0.56 dph.evens.vectorised.par.N1 182ms 0.53 0.56 dph.evens.vectorised.par.N2 106ms 0.92 0.46 dph.evens.vectorised.par.N4 80ms 1.23 0.30 A dph.evens.c.seq 31ms 3.16
A : Benchmark is totally memory bound, so we're not expecting to see much speedup.
Status: ok, but run again with LLVM to see if that fixes the slowdown wrt C.
- rl reckons the slowdown is due to GHC compiling modulo of powers of two inefficiently; c.f., #3065 (closed) (in
Multiplies a dense vector with a sparse matrix represented in the compressed sparse row format (CSR).
Status: Fusion doesn't work. Runs on 1000x1000 matrices with 10% fill ratio, but about 1000x slower than the C program. Dies with OOM for 2000x2000. Segfaults with 10000x10000.
Dynamically Nested Parallelism
Dynamically nested programs have a recursive structure where each level of the recursion invokes more parallel computations. This is common for benchmarks that use divide-and-conquer style algorithms.
|The Sieve of Eratosthenes using parallel writes into a sieve structure represented as an array of Bools.
Todo: We currently don't have a proper parallel implementation of this benchmark, as we are missing a parallel version of default backpermute. This needs a parallel update operation, but we currently can't guarantee atomic updates of compound types such as tuples.
|QuickSort (BROKEN) (SLOWDOWN)
|Sort a vector of doubles by recursively splitting it and sorting the two halves. This is a naive benchmark used for regression testing only. We divide right down to two-point vectors and construct the result using copying append. A production algorithm would switch to an in-place sort once the size of the vector reaches a few thousand elements. N=100k.
name runtime speedup efficiency notes dph.quicksort.vectorised.par.N1 428ms 1 1 dph.quicksort.vectorised.par.N2 417ms 1.02 dph.quicksort.vectorised.par.N4 422ms 1.01
Status: Sequential vectorised version does not compile due to a loop in SpecConstr (#4831).
|Quickhull (SLOWLORIS)
|Given a set of points in the plane, compute the sequence of points that encloses all points in the set. This benchmark is interesting as it is the simplest code that exploits the ability to implement divide-and-conquer algorithms with nested data parallelism. N=1M.
name runtime speedup efficiency notes dph.quickhull.vector-immutable.seq.N4 0.166s 1 1 dph.quickhull.vectorised.seq.N4 0.677s 0.24 4x slower dph.quickhull.vectorised.par.N1 1.033s 0.16 0.16 6x slower dph.quickhull.vectorised.par.N2 0.686s 0.24 0.12 dph.quickhull.vectorised.par.N4 0.571s 0.29 0.07 dph.quickhull.vector-mutable.seq.N4 0.086s 1.93 A dph.quickhull.vector-forkIO.par.N4 0.064s 2.59 0.65 B dph.quickhull.c.seq 0.044s 3.77 C
A: Uses mutable Data.Vectors for intermediate buffers.
B: Uses mutable Data.Vectors, forkIO and atomicModifyIORef. Concurrent threads fill a shared output vector. Code is uglier than the C version.
C: Sequential C version with pre-allocated mutable intermediate buffers.
Status: Benchmark scales but single threaded vectorised.par version is 6x slower than version using immutable Data.Vectors. QuickHull is based around filtering operations, so the fact that Evens is also slow is probably related.
Dynamically Nested Parallelism with Algebraic Data Types
These programs also use user defined algebraic data types. Vectorization of these programs is still a work in progress.
|Words (BROKEN)
|Counts the number of words in a string. This is a naive divide-and-conquer benchmark that divides right down to a single character. A production program would switch to a simple sequential algorithm once the string chunks were small enough. It's a good stress test for the vectoriser though.
Status: Sequential vectorised version does not compile due to loop in SpecConstr (#4831). LLVM versions take >10 min to compile (#4838 (closed))
Todo: Generate some larger test data. Right now it's just got a small test string baked into the program.
|BarnesHut (BROKEN) (SLOWLORIS)
|This benchmark implements the Barnes-Hut algorithm to solve the n-body problem in two dimensions. There is a naive O(n2) version in the same package.
name runtime speedup efficiency notes dph.nbody.vector.seq.N4 100ms 1 A dph.nbody.vectorised.seq.N4 4681ms ~50x slower dph.nbody.vectorised.par.N1 2381ms ~25x slower
A : Time stated is end-to-end, not just for the kernel.
Status: -fasm vesions compile but fusion doesn't work so it's very slow. LLVM versions take 30min to compile (#4838 (closed))
ToDo: Make the vectorised version give the same output as the vector version. The benchmark setup is a bit different. Fixing this won't cause a 50x speed difference though.
- vectorised means it's been through the DPH vectorising transform.
- vector is a hand written version using immutable Data.Vectors
- vector-mutable is a hand written version using mutable Data.Vectors.
- vector-immutable means the same as vector and is used when there is also an mutable version.
- Whether a benchmark is natively parallel or sequential.
- Parallel versions are also run single threaded (with -N1) and sequential versions are also run with (-N4) so we get the parallel GC.
- Parallel versions with -N1 will tend to be slower than natively sequential versions due to overheads for supporting parallelism.
- Value passed to Haskell Runtime with -N threads flag.
- Number of Haskell Execution Contexts (HECs) used when running the benchmark.
- Can be less than the number of hardware threads / cores in the physical machine.
- Runtime of reference / runtime of benchmark.
- Measures how much faster a benchmark is relative to the reference.
(relative) efficiency
- Speedup / number of threads.
- Indicates the communication overhead involved with running something in parallel.
- Can be > 1 if the parallel version running with a single thread is faster than the sequential reference version.
- BROKEN: Benchmark doesn't compile, or crashes when run.
- SLOWDOWN: Benchmark gets slower as number of threads increases.
- SLOWLORIS: Benchmark scales as the number of threads increases, but the absolute performance is not acceptable compared with equivalent versions using immutable Data.Vectors. We do not have a setup in which the parallel version runs faster than the sequential reference version. Cute, but too slow to be useful.

It turns out that even in cases of emergency, the GOP Noise Machine has no off switch.
Republicans learned that painful lesson as the Rush Limbaugh "slut" fiasco made headlines for days on end. With the Voice of the Republican Party engulfed in one of the most damaging (and self-inflicted) controversies of his career, and with parts of the GOP Noise Machine scrambling to actually defend Limbaugh, as well as to echo his misogynist taunts, it's been the larger conservative movement that has been absorbing the worst blows.
For a Republican Party already suffering from a yawning gender gap, Limbaugh's hijacking of the news cycle last week must have been unwelcome news. But this is what happens when Republicans sponsor an irresponsible media Noise Machine that's designed to offend and attack and is designed to dehumanize its political enemies. This is what happens when the wheels fall off in spectacular fashion, like Limbaugh spending three days smearing, by name, a Georgetown University Law School student as greedy nymphomaniac having so much sex "it's amazing she can still walk."
It's no secret Republican leaders live in fear of Limbaugh and over the years have found it almost impossible to publicly criticize even his most outlandish and hateful statements. Those few who did stop forward were often forced to then quickly reversed course and apologize to Limbaugh. Just like Republicans have had to bow down to kingmakers at Fox News and embrace their lowest common denominator programming.
The truth is the conservative movement in America has become a media-based one, delegating an absurd amount of influence to bloggers, cable channels and talk show hosts. In turn, that movement suffered a collective collapse last week. Incapable of self-reflection, player after player, including those at Fox News, rushed forward to condemn the law student and/or to insist the AM talker had done nothing wrong by, A) insulting the young woman, B) mocking her parents C) demanding she post videos of herself having sex online, and D) suggesting she was using condoms when she was in elementary school.
Large portions of the right-wing media complex saw nothing wrong with that kind of behavior; saw nothing wrong with the 53 bullying smears Limbaugh unloaded on the student in front of his national radio audience. Not only did they defend Limbaugh, they lashed out at anyone who suggested the titan talker lacked common sense. And then they stomped on Sandra Fluke's reputation some more.
A sample of the swill:
-Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin denounced Fluke as a "femme-agogu tool."
-The right-wing site Jawa Report illustrated a post about Fluke with a picture of a tattoo that reads "Semen Demon."
-Pam Geller wrote that Fluke is "banging it five times a day" and that "calling this whore a slut was a softball."
-Accuracy in Media's Don Irvine called her a "skank."
-Former CPAC Blogger of The Year, Ace of Spades, called Fluke a "shiftless rent-a-cooch from East Whoreville."
-Michelle Malkin guest blogger Doug Ross used "Got Slut?" in a headline and suggested Fluke suffered from "nymphomania."
-Dana Loesch complained the controversy surrounding Limbaugh's three-day "slut" campaign represented a "manufactured" story. (This, before Limbaugh responded to the "manufactured" story by issuing a rare public statement.)
This is nuts. (What word would you choose?) A law student testifies about contraception and within days conservative commentators are sprinting towards their microphones and keyboards in order to find ways to call her a slutty, semen demon?
That's what a nervous breakdown looks like and that's what has been broadcast across AM talk radio, Fox News and the Internet since last Wednesday.
Some conservative voices did acknowledge the errors of Limbaugh's ways and condemned Republicans for cozying up to him.Wall Street Journalist Peggy Noonan called his performance "crude, rude, even piggish." And on ABC's This Week, George Will coined Sunday's best phrase when he pointed out Republicans leaders "want to bomb Iran, but they're afraid of Rush Limbaugh."
A Washington Post editorial suggested that, "For the good of U.S. political culture -- or at least its own political self-interest -- the GOP must distance itself from Mr. Limbaugh." But few members tried, even timidly, to do the right thing.
Ron Paul dismissed Limbaugh's misogynist taunts as being a "little crude," Rep. John Boenher gently chastised the talk show host for using "inappropriate" language, and Mitt Romney said simply that Limbaugh's brutal name-calling didn't include "the language I'd use."
The Republican Party years ago made a Faustian bargain with the right-wing Noise Machine. And now it's paying the price.
Blogger Tod Kelly made this observation in the wake of Limbaugh's "slut" debacle:
The people behind the people in the GOP aren't idiots. They know perfectly well that this whole battle on contraception is going to kill them in a few months; they certainly know that the Right's most visible pundits lamely and uncomfortably trying to rally around Limbaugh is especially bad news for them.
Republicans know this "slut" controversy has been a disaster for them politically, yet they were powerless to do anything about it. Powerless to stop it.
That's because Republicans can't turn off the Noise Machine, even when it's in the throes of a nervous breakdown.

We're so excited to have released our latest video…
This week's been really good – we released the video on VEVO for our single 'Not Giving Up' on Wednesday morning which is really exciting!
We're so pleased because fans have been sending us really lovely messages, they're receiving it really well. I think the video really suits the song – we didn't want this video to have a particular storyline. The song itself is more about a feeling rather than a story. I really love it, I think it's a fun dance track!
The video is quite edgy for us. We're all wearing black and silver, with fabrics like PVC and leather. Vanessa and Rochelle had these pencil skirts which weren't very easy to dance in, but the rest of us were in leggings so it was easy to dance.
I was quite proud as I danced in the highest heels I've ever danced in – I did have to take some painkillers to combat my broken toe (it's still a bit sore). I think heels were necessary because the video is very glamorous, I especially liked the effect from all the wind machines.
In the video I'm on a turntable, which was surprisingly easy to keep my balance. It actually helped that I'd been on Splash recently as I felt quite fearless stepping onto the platform – the only thing that slightly threw me is that it was turning anticlockwise.
Originally, Mollie was supposed to be on the table, but my car got stuck in traffic, and I was 3 hours late, so they switched us around! I think these things happen for a reason though, because we're both so happy with how it all turned out. We can't imagine doing the video any other way now.
The light tubes were really cool, but we have no idea where they got them from. Frankie thinks she overheard someone saying they were bought in a farm shop! Some people have been saying it makes them think of Darth Vader and Star Wars.
We're all really pleased with how it turned out, hope you love it too!
Speak soon,

Girlfriend stomper gets five years in jail
When Sydney man Trent Wainwright got angry at his 19-year-old girlfriend late one night, he threw her onto a concrete driveway, stomped repeatedly on her head and hurled a heavy terracotta pot at her.
Wainwright had been out drinking with work mates on January 16, 2010, and returned to their Mortdale home intoxicated, and apparently paranoid about some text messages she'd received on her phone.
Their relationship was already volatile but Wainwright was a man prone to fits of spontaneous rage.
After the then 27-year-old was done with her she was unconscious, her head lying in a one-litre pool of her own blood.
Her jaw bone and both eye sockets were fractured, her teeth loose and she had lacerations to her face.
The damage left the young woman on a liquid diet for nearly six weeks and she still suffers from her injuries.
But as the man who inflicted them was sentenced to a minimum of five years in jail on Thursday, he didn't show any signs of concern.
Wainwright repeatedly interrupted Judge Stephen Norrish as he handed the now 32-year-old a maximum sentence of eight years and one month, even requesting a bathroom break at one point.
Judge Norrish recounted how Wainwright had screamed at his girlfriend to "get out of the f***ing house", before lifting her up under her armpits and throwing her out the door.
She lost balance and fell, hit her head on some concrete steps and lost consciousness, he told Downing Centre District Court.
Wainwright then stomped on her head "with considerable force", before picking up a clay pot weighing nearly seven kilograms and throwing it against her head so ferociously it smashed.
Afterwards, the court heard, he said: "the f***in' dumb bitch deserved it".
"That's incorrect, Your Honour," Wainwright declared from the dock, prompting a glare from Judge Norrish, who ordered him to stop talking.
Wainwright told police he thought his drink had been spiked that night and his girlfriend had provoked him by coming at him with a knife.
This was dubious, Judge Norrish concluded, given no knife was found in or around the premises.
Throughout the protracted matter Wainwright, who's been in custody for two and a half years, dismissed three legal teams and changed his plea on multiple occasions.
Judge Norrish acknowledged Wainwright had suffered a "disturbed childhood" and had a range of mental health conditions.
Regardless, he'd "caused serious injury to the victim when she was in no condition to defend herself".
Wainwright will be eligible for parole in October 2016.

An oral glucose tolerance test measures the body's ability to
use glucose, a type of sugar found in fruits and many other foods. (Glucose is
the main source of energy used by the body.)
After not eating all
night, the person being tested drinks a special sugar solution on the morning
of the test. A blood sugar sample is taken from a vein in the person's arm once
each hour for several hours to see how much the blood sugar increases and then
decreases over time. The test is done in a doctor's office or lab.
The oral glucose tolerance test can be used to diagnose prediabetes and
diabetes. It is used to diagnose gestational diabetes, which develops
during pregnancy.

Revision as of 15:41, 9 June 2010
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), carries out enforcement of the Federal Communications Act, requiring that a mass media station that sells air time to one candidate must provide equal time to other major candidates for that same office. The station must keep strict records of candidate requests for air time.
Equal air time: excludes appearances by a legally qualified candidate on a bona fide newscast or in on-the-spot news coverage. Censorship of political candidates by broadcasters or the public is prohibited.
Issues can be resolved with stations at the local level. If your concerns are not resolved, you may mail, fax, or e-mail a complaint about a radio or TV station to the following address:
Federal Communications Commission
Enforcement Division, Mass Media Branch
445 12th Street, SW, Room 2-C334
Washington, DC 20554
(202) 418-1440
(202) 418-0232 (fax)
(888) 225-5322 (toll-free FCC telephone number)
e-mail complaints to email@example.com www.fcc.gov/mb/
The FCC encourages that you include the following information in your complaint:
- The call letters of the station (example: kcra [channel 3], kovr [channel 13], knci [105.1 fm]);
- The city and state where the station is located;
- The name, time and date of the specific program or advertisement in question, if applicable;
- The name of anyone contacted at the station, if applicable; and
- A statement of the problem, as specific as possible. Send an audio or video tape or transcript of the advertisement (if possible).
Include your name and address if you would like information on the final disposition of your complaint; however, you may request confidentiality.
The FCC prefers that complaints be submitted in writing, although you may submit complaints that are time-sensitive by telephone, especially if they involve safety. The FCC can only act on allegations that a station has violated a provision of the Communications Act or the FCC's rules or policies.

Alison and Bruno continue impressive form
The duo, who joined together at the start of 2014 beat veterans Ricardo Santos and Marcio Araujo in the final 2-0 (21-19, 21-15). It is their second victory on the Brazilian Tour after they had won the Maceio leg and they also claimed gold in the South American Games.
The pair will begin their quest to win the World Tour at the Fuzhou Open in China from April 22-27.
"We want to share this title with our team and our families," Bruno said. "We knew that the Super Beach was a very important competition and we focused hard on performing well in this competition. Our loss in the group stages helped us focus and we fixed our mistakes so we could go on and win."
Alison and Bruno's former partners Pedro Salgado and Emanuel Rego won the bronze medal, as they had at the South American Games by defeating Bruno de Paula and Hevaldo Moreira 2-0 (21-11, 21-15).
"It was not what we expected because we came here to be champions, but haven't ended that way," Emanuel said. "Even so it is very exciting to end of the season this way."

The NCAA Division I women's lacrosse championships will return to Towson University in 2014.
Thursday's announcement by NCAA officials comes seven weeks after the 2013 championships were awarded to Villanova University in Pennsylvania.
Johnny Unitas Stadium has hosted three previous Division I women's final four weekends, in 2008, 2009 and 2010. In 2010, a record-breaking crowd of 9,782 fans watched Maryland defeat Northwestern, 13-11, ending the Wildcats' run of five straight and giving the Terrapins their 11th national title.
For the last two years, the national championships have been held at Stony Brook on Long Island, but Towson officials are thrilled to have the event return to their campus.
"Towson University is excited to bring an outstanding event like the women's lacrosse national championship back to Baltimore," Mike Waddell, Towson director of athletics said in a news release. "Our campus has hosted this event three of the last five years. Once again, we will roll out the red carpet for the NCAA and many fans that will help us sell out Johnny Unitas Stadium as we create and outstanding environment for the championship weekend."

I'm trying to decide on a singing/karaoke game and I'm not sure whether to go with Lips or Singstar, as I own both a 360 and a PS3. I was wondering what types of gameplay differences there were between the two games in regards to single player depth and party play, how large the DLC libraries are, and what kind of compatibility between other games the microphones have/accept.
I have a Rock Band 1 microphone, and my entire collection of GH/RB is on 360, so I'm leaning towards Lips for that reason, though I'm not sure if Lips accepts the RB1 mike. Lips lets you import your own music which I didn't know until I read that question, which is one of the biggest appeals for me. Does Singstar offer the same?

I know this is waaay ahead of the game here, but I just got the vintage Mantenna figure (finally starting a loose vintage collection!) and this idea came to mind.
Since the vintage Mantenna came with a gray crossbow and the vintage Hordak came with a white crossbow, but MOTUC Hordak came with a gray crossbow, do you guys think if they do a MOTUC Mantenna, he should come with the white crossbow? That way if anyone wants to display them with their crossbows swapped to look like the vintages, this would be a halfway decent way of including the white one.
Just a thought. *shrugs*
