Our practice has been recommending VisiVite Dry Eye Relief TG-1000 to every dry eye patient we see. The patients love it. They feel a great relief from not having to constantly feel a burning or itching sensation and being free of hourly tear drops. Our practice recommends these products to everyone!
Monique M. Barbour, M.D.
We see approximately 120 patients per week with about 15% having or being at risk for macular degeneration. Using the AREDS as our reference we became aware of the importance of nutritional supplements in the prevention of the progression of macular degeneration. This along with various other studies on the importance of vitamins for general eye health and AREDS2 prompted us to look for a supplement that fit the needs of our patients. Visivite showed itself to be the only company who took pains to offer the ratio of different vitamins supported by this research.
Dr. Kendal Piatt, O.D.
We have been recommending VisiVite for several years. AREDS2 formulation vitamins are the mainstay in the treatment of dry AMD which affects about 1.7 million Americans. We find that the VisiVite vitamins fit the needs of our patients. We can recommend different formulations based on the patients' history. The quality is unsurpassed, they are well tolerated which increases patient compliance. At "Island Retina" our mission statement is to provide outstanding retinal care in a warm and supportive environment. I have been practicing for more than 20 years. We love taking care of patients with retinal disease including diabetes, macular degeneration and retinal detachments. Our practice is unique in that we have a surgery center,we are involved in several national research projects as well as our own research, and we have a satelite office in Commack, NY. I do a great deal of lecturing throughout the country as part of my committment to education.
Pamela Weber, M.D.
Retinal Surgeon
East Florida Eye Institute specializes in the treatment of Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Diabetic Eye Disease, and Dry Eye Disease. We recommend the use of VisiVite for all of our Macular Degeneration patients.
Ronald E. P. Frenkel, M.D.
We recommend that all of our patients take
VisiVite AREDS2-based vitamins
, due to the evidence based nature of the formula.
Marc Lay, OD
I've been in practice for 36 years. We see many patients with Macular Degeneration and dry eyes. As a general Ophthalmologist, I see patients with varying Eye problems including cataracts and glaucoma. Based on the AREDS2 study, a vitamin like Visivite is the only treatment for Macular Degeneration available today.
Martin L Weinhoff, MD
This combination of nutrients, found in supplements like Ocuvite and VisiVite, is now widely recommended for people with moderate or severe macular degeneration. Current or former smokers may be better off with VisiVite's Smoker's Formula, which leaves out the beta-carotene (beta-carotene supplements my increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers).
Marvin Moe Bell, M.D., M.P.H.
Physician and Author
I recommend VisiVite to all my macular degeneration patients. Based on the latest AREDS2 study, lutein and zeaxanthin absorption was increased when beta-carotene was eliminated. Therefore, I advise all my AMD patients to take VisiVite AREDS2 Plus+ Gold Formula for maximal protection, as it contains all the necessary ingredients as recommended by this latest research.

TOKYO, March 21 (UPI) -- A rat or a similar animal may have shorted power supply to the systems to cool spent fuel pools at Japan's crippled nuclear power plant, its operator said.
The cooling systems for the spent fuel pools of the Nos. 1, 3 and 4 reactors at the Fukushima-Daiichi plant resumed operations Tuesday after being suspended for nearly two days due to a power failure.
Plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Co. said it suspects a rat-like animal of shorting the circuit in a switchboard causing the outage, Kyodo News reported.
The company said it found burn marks Wednesday on a makeshift power switchboard connected to the cooling systems and a dead animal nearby.
The entire incident, however, did not affect the injection of water into the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 reactors that had experienced core meltdowns when the nuclear plant was hit by a devastating earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011.
Besides the cooling systems, Tepco also reportedly has restored operations at several other facilities affected by the power outage, including an installation to remove radioactive substances from water used to cool reactors and a cooling system for a common pool located inside another building at the site.
There had, however, been no threat of a radiation release as no major radioactivity level changes were observed by monitoring posts.

Observe the Moon Night Goes Global
15 September 2010
On September 18, 2010 the world will join the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Visitor Center in Greenbelt, Md., as well as other NASA Centers to celebrate the first annual International Observe the Moon Night (InOMN).
"InOMN provides the opportunity for the general public, our partners, and amateur astronomers to learn about lunar science and to view the Moon - many for the first time - through telescopes!" said Brooke Hsu, the Education and Public Outreach lead for the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and principle investigator for InOMN.
What started as a celebration of LRO's successful journey to orbit around the Moon last August has grown to into an astronomical event this year. After LRO's launch, Goddard's Education and Outreach Team hosted the event, "We're at the Moon!" The same day, the event "National Observe the Moon Night," was hosted at NASA's Ames Research Center (ARC) in Moffett Field, Calif. by the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite and NASA Lunar Science Institute (NLSI) teams. NLSI is based at NASA Ames. This year, the teams have decided to expand the event by partnering with other NASA institutions, organizations and communities around the world.
"The goal of both of these events was similar: engage the local public and amateur astronomer communities in an event to raise awareness of NASA's involvement in lunar research and exploration. The events were so successful we've decided to do it again. Only better and much, much bigger," said Doris Daou, the director of communications and outreach for NLSI.
The event, which is free to the public, will be from 6:30 p.m.-10:00 p.m. EDT and include guest speakers and astronomers discussing lunar science, hands-on activities using binoculars and amateur astronomy telescopes and a public unveiling of new LRO images. There will even be a number of tours to the Laser Ranging facility at the Goddard Geophysical and Astronomical Observatory and presentations on the always fascinating Science on a Sphere globe at the Visitor's Center.
"I think it's important to have an event like this at Goddard for two reasons. One, Goddard is leading the LRO mission to the moon, and it's important for the public to be exposed to the amazing results of that mission. Secondly, I really like the idea of exposing the public to a diverse range of topics covered at a NASA center," said Dr. Noah Petro, a research scientist at the Goddard Planetary Geodynamics Branch.
Petro will be giving a presentation on recent lunar discoveries and discussing images of the lunar surface at the "New Light" activity station.
Partnering with Astronomers Without Borders, Hsu and her team were able to advertise to amateur astronomers across the United States, who then shared their links to international astronomers. In all, there will be 278 InOMN events globally. China, Germany, Egypt and at least 39 other countries will participate in the festivities. Among the NASA Centers, Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., will also take part.
Daou hopes that the huge effort will engage the public in science and hopefully incite and encourage their interest in what science generally and lunar science specifically is achieving these days.
"The Moon has been the first stop in humanity's effort to know more and explore our Universe. It has provided us with so much knowledge, but there is so much more to know about it," she added.

Used this a long time ago when I was at IBM. Basically it's a neat tool for creating Flash-based tutorials - very handy for helping newbies out with STEEM and SainT
No idea if we're allowed to host Flash files on the Wiki but I'm sure Silver Surfer can arrange for them to be stored somewhere else and we can just link to any created.
So who's up for creating some simple "How To's" for STeeM and SainT ??

I started writing code when I was somewhere around 1st grade, hacking some rudimentary BASIC on a TRS-80. Since then, I've used more programming languages than I can count; everything from C to Prolog, Python to Haskell, and probably a dozen others. I enjoy diversity in programming languages and tools.
I've had an interest in both web and mobile development for some time, but have done little with either. Reflecting on that lately, I realize that both platforms severely restrict my freedom to use the tools I choose. Even on an old x86 with 640K of RAM, I had choices; BASIC, Pascal, and C would work under DOS. (Plus assembler, but I had yet to learn that at the time.) On Android, my choices are Java or… Java. (OK, or something that compiles to Java, but those selections are still limited.) Plus it seems like I'd have to use Eclipse, which seems to have taken the kitchen sync crown from Emacs long ago, and not in a good way. On iOS, the choices are Objective C. And on the web, it's JavaScript.
The problem with all this is that there's little room for language innovation on those platforms. If predictions about the decline of development on the PC pan out, how will the next advance in programming languages gain traction if the hot spots for development are locked down to three main languages? Will we find ourselves only willing to consider languages that can compile to Java/Dalvik bytecode? And won't that put limits on the possible space for innovation to occur within?
Yes, I know about things like Mono and the Android Scripting Environment, which offer some potential for hope, but I think it's still safe to say that these platforms are pretty closed to development in "unofficial" languages. I don't know of major apps in the Android market written in Python, for instance.
I know of efforts such as Ubuntu's, but even they simply lock down development to a different toolkit. There is no choice there of GTK vs. Qt, or such things.
Sadly, I don't think it has to be this way. My phone has way more power than my computer did just a few years ago, and that computer was capable of not just executing, but even compiling, code written in all sorts of different languages.
But I don't know if there's much we can do to change things. Even with native code on Android, plenty still has to go through Dalvik (at least that's my understanding). If you wanted to write a Python app with a full graphical touch interface on Android, I don't think this would be all that easy of a task.

Subscribe To This Rotten Week: Predicting Eagle, Gnomeo, Bieber, And Just Go With It Reviews Updates
I've already subscribed
Well Rotten Week faithful, today is a special day. A glorious day in fact. It's the day we gather with friends, eat a smorgasbord of snacks, down a few beers, throw out a bet here or there, and just basically act like rabid fans. That's right folks, today is the one year anniversary of This Rotten Week!!! (The crowd goes wild, cheerleaders do backflips, fireworks go off and The Black Eyed Peas perform in my living room.)
It's been a good year. And though, of late, we've had a bit of a hit-or-miss streak going, this column has had its fair share of success. (Quick recap at the bottom of the year that was). Thanks for reading and commenting. Just remember, I'm not reviewing these movies, but rather predicting where they'll end up on the Tomatometer. Let's take a look at what This Rotten Week has to offer!
Which Rotten movie will have the highest final Tomatometer score?
Recapping last week and the last year:
Because of the anniversary I'm able to deflect some of the stink off the Sanctum (Predicted: 71 Actual: 30%) debacle. I knew the dialogue and storyline were a mess just from the trailer and yet I put too much faith in the James Cameron name and bunch of sharp looking visuals. Meanwhile, The Roommate (Predicted: 22% Actual: 9%) sucked as expected. We'll take that one as a predictable win.
This year I predicted Tomatometer scores for 121 movies. There were some high moments like Legend of the Guardians (50%) and Case 39 (23%) that I nailed exactly and some low moments. But all in all, it was a good year. 43% of my predictions landed within the ten percent mark while 26% were within five percent. We'll take that number to the bank and try to improve on it this year. I've spent time evaluating the places I went really wrong (11% of my predictions missed by more than thirty five points). The two biggest disasters Piranha 3D (Predicted 18%, Actual: 75%) and My Soul to Take (Predicted 69% Actual: 9%) still are thorns in my side.
Thanks to everyone who's read, chimed in on what an idiot I am, disagreed with my predictions, pointed out the minor details I overlooked when evaluating a particular film, and just generally enjoyed the critical consensus game. It's been a fun ride. Let's keep it going. It's going to be a Rotten year.

A look ahead to Obama's news conference
The news after President Barack Obama's re-election was focused on the looming fiscal cliff, but the unfolding scandal surrounding Gen. David Petraeus has overshadowed most everything else since the story broke last Friday.
On Wednesday, Obama will hold his first full press conference in eight months. This is also the first time he'll address the White House press corps since August. What will he talk about and what will he be asked by the press corps?
Jason Johnson, professor of political science and communications at Hiram College, will join The Daily Circuit to discuss the press conference. Richard Stoll, professor of political science at Rice University, The Nation's John Nichols, and Politico White House reporter Josh Gerstein will also join the discussion.

It's been 5 full seasons that we've seen Ryan Howard make his mark in MLB baseball as a Phillies player. He did get his start in 2004 with a scant 19 games but in only 5 full seasons, it seems that Ryan Howard is already half way to the Hall of Fame. The accolades and awards are still pilling up, and so are the home runs. If you look at Baseball-Reference.com, they have a "Hall of Fame Monitor" that they compile various statistics to come up with a number that a player has to reach to be Hall of Fame worthy. Howard is already well past half way toward reaching this goal, according to Baseball-Reference.
It's hard to believe that Howard was drafted by the Phillies in the fifth round of the amateur draft in 2001. It took him a couple years in the minors to get his chance, but he's made the most of it so far. He's hit 222 home runs through last season. If he hits his current production of 45 or so this season, he'll have almost 270.
If you're a big baseball fan, I say you are seeing history being made with Howard, he's a player that is destined for the Hall, and luckily he's playing for the Phillies.

Mathematical Sciences (B.S.)
Mathematics is both a profession and an indispensable tool for many types of work. As a tool, mathematics is a universal language which has been crucial in formulating and expressing ideas not only in science and engineering, but also in many other areas such as business and the social sciences. As probably the oldest and most basic science, it provides the key to understanding the major technological achievements of our time.
Of equal importance, knowledge of mathematics may help provide a student with the type of uncompromising and clear sighted thinking useful in considering the problems of many other disciplines. The Mathematical Sciences degree program encompasses mathematics, statistics, and applied mathematics.
Applied mathematics and statistics continue to enjoy a rapid growth. Students have the opportunity of applying their expertise to any of a number of fields of application. For the student to be more effective in such applications, Mathematical Sciences also offers degree programs allowing additional emphasis in the areas of actuarial science, computer science, electrical engineering, and management.
Those interested in obtaining both a B.S. in Mathematical Sciences and Teacher Certification in the state of Texas should consult the Office of Teacher Education for specific requirements as soon as possible after formal admission to the University. See the Teacher Education section of this catalog for additional information.
The Mathematical Sciences degree program also prepares students for graduate studies. An accelerated B.S./M.S. Fast Track program is available which provides the opportunity for undergraduate students to satisfy some of the requirements of the master's degree while they are completing the bachelor's degree in Mathematical Sciences.
The Options
Students seeking a degree in the Mathematical Sciences may specialize in Mathematics, Statistics, or Applied Mathematics. Each option allows some flexibility in electives so that students can better adapt their degree plans to their educational goals.
Mathematics: For students interested in
Statistics: For students interested in probability and statistical models and their use in data analysis and decision making and for students interested in continuing on to graduate work in statistics, biostatistics, actuarial science, and other statistics related areas.
Applied Mathematics: For students interested in mathematics for the purpose of using it broadly in various areas of application and for students interested in continuing on to graduate work in applied mathematics and related areas.
Fast Track Baccalaureate/Master's Degrees
For students interested in pursuing graduate studies in mathematics, the Mathematics Department offers an accelerated B.S./M.S. Fast Track that involves taking graduate courses instead of several advanced undergraduate courses. Acceptance into the Fast Track is based on the student's attaining a GPA of at least 3.2 in all mathematics classes and being within 30 hours of graduation. Fast Track students may, during their senior year, take 15 graduate hours which may be used to complete the baccalaureate degree. After admission to the graduate program, these 15 graduate hours may also satisfy requirements for the master's degree. Fast Track programs are offered in math, applied math, and statistics.

Statement on Equal Educational

Order this brochure from the Priests for Life online store.
"We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life." Christians pray these words each Sunday as they worship God in Churches throughout the world. At the same time, the life which the Holy Spirit gives is being attacked and destroyed by abortion. In the United States alone, some 4000 children are legally killed each day by this surgical procedure.
For a people filled with the Spirit, this is a tragedy that cannot possibly be ignored. Nor can we doubt for a moment that the Spirit who gives life will also give us all we need to defend it.
No new gospel
The Holy Spirit is God, and all He does and speaks to us is consistent with what God the Father and God the Son have done and spoken. "He will not speak on his own, but will speak only what he hears…because he will have received from me what he will announce to you" (Jn. 16:13-14) "The Holy Spirit…will…remind you of all that I told you" (Jn.14:26). No disciple can claim the "freedom of the Spirit" to contradict the commandments, including that which forbids the killing of the innocent.
Creator blest
The creation account in Genesis 1 tells us that "a mighty wind," the "breath" or "spirit" of God hovered over the waters and brought life and light out of chaos and darkness. The Holy Spirit is proclaimed in the Creed to be "the Lord and Giver of Life," and this is true both on a natural and supernatural level. To worship the Holy Spirit, then, demands that we stand against all that destroys life.
On the first Easter night, Jesus breathes His Spirit upon the apostles (Jn.20:22), that they too might bring new life out of the chaos and darkness of sin. A second Creation account is taking place here. God indeed "has sent the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins" (Prayer of Absolution). The same Spirit who causes sin to flee will cause death to flee as well. "If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then he who raised Christ from the dead will bring your mortal bodies to life also, through his Spirit dwelling in you" (Rom.8:11).
The Spirit of Truth
The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Truth (see Jn.15:26), and His gifts enable us to understand created realities, their value, and their relationship to the Creator and to our own happiness. We can therefore ask the Holy Spirit to give us an understanding of the value of the human person. The Spirit enables us to cry out, "Abba! Father!" "The Spirit himself gives witness with our spirit that we are children of God" (Rom.8:16). Abortion, on the other hand, sees the human person as a disposable object.
The Spirit of Truth likewise shows us the truth about our sins (see Jn.16:8). In Him we come to understand the difference between good and evil. This works directly against the dynamics of the abortion movement, which identifies a moral evil as a "right." "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil, who change darkness into light, and light into darkness, who change bitter into sweet, and sweet into bitter!" (Is.5:20). Devotion to the Holy Spirit is a key element in praying for the conversion of mind and heart necessary for those who defend and perform abortions.
The Advocate
St. John declares, "If anyone should sin, we have, in the presence of the Father, Jesus Christ, an intercessor who is just" (1Jn.2:1). Our Lord referred to the Holy Spirit as another advocate (Jn.14:16), and St. Paul writes that he "makes intercession for us" (Rom.8:26). Because we cannot save ourselves, we need an advocate to speak up on our behalf and plead for our forgiveness and salvation. We know we have precisely that.
What, then, does the Holy Spirit do to his people when he comes to them? He makes them advocates! He gives speech to the tongue, not only that we may tell who God is, but that we may defend those among us who need advocates. The Pentecost Sequence invokes the Spirit as "Father of the Poor." Just as the Messiah will defend the poor and helpless (see Is.11), so do the people of the Messiah, filled with his Spirit.
Spirit of Love
Jesus Christ made the sacrifice of Himself "through the eternal spirit" (Heb.9:14). It is in the Holy Spirit that we too have the power to love, which consists in giving ourselves away for the good of the other. "There is no greater love than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends" (Jn. 15:13, see also 1Jn.3:16). Such is to be our response to the unborn.
The Spirit Himself is the bond of love between the Father and the Son. He unites the human family, whereas abortion divides it.
The same Holy Spirit who created the universe, descended upon the womb of Mary, came as tongues of fire at Pentecost, and leads the Church on her mission, is the one who calls and equips us for our pro-life work. Let us not lack for a moment the confidence and the joy which come from Him, and which impel us to build a Culture of Life.
Come, Holy Spirit, and renew the face of the earth! Amen!

A Future After Foreclosure
Despite the no-down payment benefit, VA loans have emerged as a model of stability and safety. They continue to have an incredibly low foreclosure rate, due in large part to the VA's common-sense requirements and commitment to helping veterans keep their homes. But default does happen.
Foreclosure, short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure can all take a toll on your credit score. Plus, whatever VA loan entitlement you used on the foreclosure is effectively lost. The only way to get it back is to repay the amount in full, which isn't something most people can or want to do.
But VA borrowers who lose a home to foreclosure or one of its offshoots can absolutely look to purchase again using the VA loan program. You'll typically need to wait two years after a foreclosure or short sale in order to pursue another VA loan.
You'll also need to rely on whatever VA loan entitlement you have remaining. Let's take a closer look at how you could utilize another VA loan after losing one to foreclosure.
Second-Tier Entitlement
The VA backs a portion of every loan. That backing, known as a guaranty, is reflected in a dollar amount called "entitlement." Your amount of entitlement in part determines how much you could potentially borrow before having to factor in a down payment.
There are two layers of entitlement, a basic and a bonus, or secondary, level. The basic entitlement is $36,000. For borrowers in most parts of the country, there's an additional, second tier of entitlement currently worth $85,087. Add those together and you get $121,087. That's the maximum entitlement for VA buyers in all but the country's most expensive housing markets.
Because the VA typically guarantees a quarter of the loan, a qualified borrower with full entitlement can borrow up to $484,350 ($121,087 x 4) before having to factor in a down payment. That figure is the VA loan limit for most parts of the country. These limits don't represent a cap on how much you can borrow, but the limit in your county can play a big role in your purchasing situation post-foreclosure.
For example, let's say you purchased a home a few years ago in a non-high-cost county for $200,000. Because the VA typically backs a quarter of the loan, you used $50,000 of your VA loan entitlement. A few years later, you lose the home to foreclosure. You also lose the $50,000 in entitlement.
But you would still have a fair bit left. In this example, you would have $71,087 ($121,087 - 50,000) in remaining entitlement in most parts of the country. After a two-year wait, qualified buyers in most places could use their remaining entitlement to purchase up to $284,348 ($71,087 x 4) without the need for a down payment. Buyers who want to purchase above where their entitlement caps out need to put down 25 percent of the difference between their cap and the purchase price.
For example, let's say your second-tier entitlement caps out at that $284,348 figure. You fall in love with a new home at $300,000. You would need to put down a quarter of the difference, which is $3,913 in this example ($300,000 - 284,348 = $15,652 x 25 percent).
That could still wind up being a great deal compared to conventional and FHA financing, which require minimum 5 percent and 3.5 percent down payments, respectively. The $3,913 down payment on our example $300,000 loan represents a 1.3 percent down payment. You'd also wind up paying for mortgage insurance with FHA and conventional loans.
If you're purchasing in one of the VA's high-cost counties, you'll have more entitlement at your disposal. That means even more $0-down buying power.
Start Your Home Loan Journey
Other Considerations
Purchasing again using your second-tier entitlement also comes with a unique caveat: You can't have a loan amount below $144,001. VA borrowers can count their VA Funding Fee toward that total, but not any qualified energy efficiency improvements.
For veterans and service members who've lost a non-VA loan to foreclosure, you can typically look to obtain a VA loan once you're two years beyond the foreclosure date. You will often need to wait three years if the default occurred on an FHA loan.
Homeowners who've experienced a foreclosure as part of the bankruptcy process can have different timelines and requirements. Policies and procedures often vary by lender.
When it comes to foreclosure, every buyer's situation is different. But it's important to understand you can bounce back. Simply having a foreclosure in your past – even one on a VA-backed loan – doesn't automatically mean a VA loan is out of the question.

Suppose every phenomena in this universe (of course most are reducible to some particular general ideal ones - basically I'm talking about those!) could be described as disturbances/waves/ripples/tensions in an $\mathbb{R}^n$ field. Is this possible? Can we find $n$?
Basically, I came up with this when I studied that General theory of relativity explains gravitation as a disturbance/tension in a 4-dimensional field of space-time. Basically, I'm asking whether the entire universe can be described as such.

Call it Ryder Cup Lite. And that's not a knock. It's a compliment, actually.
The Presidents Cup returns this week at one of America's better golf courses, the Jack Nicklaus masterpiece that is Muirfield Village in Ohio, and there are probably still casual golf fans who don't know exactly what it's about.
Who are these Presidents of which we speak?
Nineteen years ago, the PGA Tour recognized with envy the financial and competitive success of the Ryder Cup, owned by the PGA of America, and figured it was time to stage its own team competition. It was a natural, of course, because countries such as Australia and South Africa were producing world-class players, but there was no event in which to play as a team.
Thus was born the Presidents Cup in 1994, with Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama all serving as honorary chairmen through the years, alongside a host of prime ministers. And though the event is really still in its infancy, there are a few advantages to that.
The Ryder Cup has almost become too big and too corporate for its own good. What was once a friendly, sporting team party put together by a seed salesman has become an over-hyped and over-wrought clash between the U.S. and Europe that sometimes gets rather nasty.
There was the "War by the Shore" in 1991 and the perceived American arrogance after the win in Boston in 1999, and though tempers seemed to have simmered down some, there is a life-and-death tension placed on the Ryder Cup that can be both entertaining and somewhat disturbing.
The Presidents Cup doesn't have that vibe. Maybe because it's really tough to get too wound up playing against the good-natured Aussies or Argentines or South Africans or Japanese. Let's face it, none of them can get under your skin like Sergio Garcia or Colin Montgomerie. (OK, maybe Vijay Singh comes close.)
Then there is the competition, which has been remarkably one-sided. Nine of these Cups have been played, and the Americans have won seven of them outright, including the last four. The Internationals seized their only Cup in 1998, and in probably the event's most famous moment, captains Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player declared a tie in 2003 when darkness halted a taut playoff between Tiger Woods and Ernie Els.
It's not like the Internationals don't have the talent. Major winners Singh, Els, Greg Norman, Nick Price, Angel Cabrera, Steve Elkington, Geoff Ogilvy, Retief Goosen and Mike Weir have been participants, but the U.S. seems to have more depth, and, of course, team experience, since it plays one of these international competitions each year.
"We've had the upper hand, and our guys know that going in there," said U.S. captain Fred Couples, who is trying to lead a third straight Cup win. "I don't know that anyone can really figure (the lopsided record) out."
One of the biggest conundrums of Tiger Woods' career is that he's played with such mediocrity in the Ryder Cup, with a 13-17-3 overall record, but has been his usually formidable match-play self in the Presidents, with a mark of 20-14-1 that includes a 5-0 run in San Francisco in '09.
It can be agreed that Woods did not finish his five-win season looking particularly sharp, but his five wins at Muirfield in the Memorial attest to his love for the course, and that's a huge factor for Tiger.
The Americans also boast reigning British Open champ Phil Mickelson, and the San Diegan and Keegan Bradley created the biggest spark in last fall's ultimately deflating loss to Europe in the Ryder Cup.
Captain Price's Internationals counter with five major winners: Els, Cabrera, reigning Masters champ Adam Scott, Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel. But they get a little thin at the bottom with Richard Sterne, Branden Grace and Brendon de Jonge.
With the way male Asian players are beginning to emerge, that gap might not be there for long.
There were about 25 editions of the Ryder Cup before Europe got competitive – now to Americans' chagrin. So it may take a while for the Internationals to catch up. But that's OK, because few take the Presidents Cup too seriously, and that's a good thing.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City plans to start sifting through earth and debris recovered from the World Trade Center site on Monday to look for the remains of victims from the attacks of September 11, 2001, officials said on Friday.
The city's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner on Friday advised families of the dead about the new sifting operation, the first since 2010, a spokeswoman said in a statement.
The Medical Examiner's office has identified remains of 1,634 people out of 2,752 killed when suicide hijackers crashed into the twin towers, leaving more than 1,000 families without any physical remains of those who died.
After the initial cleanup of the site, the city scaled back operations to search for remains, drawing criticism from families of the dead, who said they could not properly grieve. The city widened its search again in 2006.
The next search will comb through 590 cubic yards (451 cubic meters) of excavated material taken from and near the World Trade Center site, said Caswell Holloway, deputy mayor for operations, in a memo to Mayor Michael Bloomberg made public by the Medical Examiner's office.
Much of the site known as Ground Zero is a construction zone for new skyscrapers and a memorial where the twin towers once stood.
The building under construction known as One World Trade Center has surpassed the Empire State Building as the tallest in New York and, when completed, would be the tallest in the Western Hemisphere at 1,776 feet.

From 2000-6, as first editorial director and then group publisher of SYS-CON Media, Geelan was responsible for the development of all new titles and i-Technology portals for the firm. He's founder of Cloud Computing Journal, Web 2.0 Journal, AJAX & RIA Journal and other leading SYS-CON titles.
Cloud Expo, Inc. launched Cloud Expo (TM) events in 2007, and is currently producing Cloud Expo East, Cloud Expo West, Cloud Expo Europe, Cloud Expo Tokyo, Cloud Expo Prague, Cloud Expo Hong Kong, and Cloud Expo São Paulo. All Cloud Expo marks and trademarks are registered trademarks of Cloud Expo, Inc. worldwide.
Cloud Expo, Inc. will continue producing and presenting "Cloud Expo," which was launched on February 24, 2007, by SYS-CON Events, Inc., the same day the term "cloud computing" was coined. That same year, the first Cloud Expo took place in New York City with 450 delegates.
"Cloud Expo has become the leading global cloud computing event as Cloud has become synonymous with "computing" and "software" in three short years," said Fuat Kircaali, founder and chairman of Cloud Expo, Inc. "Cloud Expo is the new PC Expo, Comdex, and InternetWorld of our decade. By 2012, more than 50,000 delegates will participate annually in Cloud Expo New York, Silicon Valley, Prague, Tokyo, Hong Kong and São Paulo shows."
"The creation of Cloud Expo, Inc. bears eloquent testimony to the rise and rise of the Cloud's important to Enterprise IT," said Jeremy Geelan. "As CIOs and VPs of Infastructure and IT move from asking 'What?' and 'Why?' to asking 'How?' and 'When?' it is clear from our ever-climbing attendance figures how greatly they appreciate a regular, large-scale event aimed at helping them move from theory into practice. At Cloud Expo, no matter where in the world the show may be held, attending delegates can move easily between Breakout and General sessions and visit our jam-packed Expo Floor to actually tire-kick solutions and services and ask questions related to their specific business requirements and concerns."
A Rock Star Faculty, Top Keynotes, Sessions, and Top Delegates!
Cloud Expo 2010 West, November 1-4, Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, California will feature technical sessions from a rock star conference faculty and the leading Cloud industry players in the world.

Being a child of the 70's, I grew up watching the Brady Bunch. I loved all the drama between the kids but I also loved their house! They had the coolest house, the open staircase, the orange kitchen, I just loved it all. Who knew that some 30 years later, I would live in a house that has some decorating that is leftover from the Brady Bunch era? Like I said earlier, we LOVE our home, it's just some of the wallpaper that is less than desirable. Be prepared for a LOT of pictures because how else can I show you how "Carol" decorated this house!
This is the half bath. The reflection in the mirror is of the laundry room. I don't know about you but I think it was sheer genius to put the half bath in the laundry room. I'm just sayin'.... Doesn't this wallpaper just make you start to sing, "Here's a story..."?
Emma's Bathroom, yes, that's a chandelier...in a bathroom.A close-up of her wall paper. The pattern is raised velvet. When we first moved in, I kept telling my mom about the felt wallpaper. When they came for a visit, she informed me that it was velvet, not felt. OH. Classy, that's my middle name. Anyway..... Emma's room- very dramatic with the faux window covering for the headboard. An interesting combination of peach and green. This is our closet, yes, another chandelier. The wallpaper is the same in our closet and bedroom. Please don't judge me about the burned out light bulbs, between the 8 chandeliers in this house, I'm doing my best to replace the light bulbs!! This closet is HUGE, it's more like a dressing room. To the left are 2 closets. The door ahead leads to our bath room. Have you ever?!?! This is the mirror and lights above our bathroom sink. Checkout that wallpaper! On to the dining room. Again more
felt velvet wallpaper. This picture doesn't really do it justice, I wish you could see it in person! Now, hold onto your horses or hats or whatever because I've saved the most unbelievable for last! The boys' bedrooms are plain, no wallpaper, just beige walls. Which leads me to believe, that the previous owners made those changes because who would have left a room beige when you see what they did to the closet and bathroom!
This is the closet, again, huge and more of a dressing room! Again, my picture doesn't give you the full effect of the jungle green and gold shimmery wallpaper, that is not only on the walls but on the ceiling as well!!! There are built in shelves and drawers, that you can see in the corner. It's so much room that Dougie doesn't even have to put his clothes in his dresser! The boys' bathroom is to the left and when you walk in this is what you see~ Marcia, Marcia, Marcia, check out those groovy stripes! It just makes me chuckle every time I go into that bathroom!
Well, I think I've shown you enough. But one last pic, here's our absolute favorite thing about this house~
Y'all have a great weekend! I just deleted my signature thingy.
Love Y'all,
btw, It wasn't my choice to have the animals on the mantle. It's all about compromise!

August 31, 2004
end of august: farewell to the peach season
This summer, as you might have noticed, I have gotten a lot of peaches and nectarines and used them a lot in dessert (sorbet, tart, fruit salad, and custard), while I did just eat straight out (like these). This was partly because peaches/nectarines were available at a lot more reasonable price here when compared to Japan, where they would be sort of the luxury, and also because I found a lots of unfamiliar kinds and breeds and wanted to try them.
While it may seem as if I've had enough, there was another thing that I made using peach and did not blog, which I thought might be just appropriate to mention here to wrap up the month: peach cordial.
I found the recipe towards the end of July when browsing websites. First, the name "Peach, Honey and Cardamom Wine Cordial" which precisely describes its ingredients, caught my eyes; peach and cardamom, a combination that I had never tried before, yet somehow sounded attractive.
The procedure was very simple but time-consuming, as it would take you at least five days to get it ready to drink. While I usually like something that I make and eat right away, I also enjoy to take time to let my food "ripen" and cherish the time and results. I had already made up my mind to try that out.
The recipe called for "5 large, ripe peaches" and did not specify whether they be yellow or white. From what I have seen in this country, it seemed like "peaches" would usually refer to yellow ones, but I decided to use white peaches as I like them better.
It was a wrong decision, as I would be learning later, because the overall quality of white peach available in here isn't very consistent and I actually ended up having to discard two of the five peaches because they were partly unripe and stone hard whereas other part had gotten rotten. I added one peach of different kind and secured four peaches. Good enough.
I used a cheap bottle of Aussie chardonnay as a base; I could have used more fancy one, but I thought this should be okay. It was after opening the bottle and poured it over the peeled peaches in a jar when I took a lick of the wine and figured it wasn't exactly a dry wine; well, it was too late, so I went on to the next step by throwing in cardamom pods. I almost doubled the number of pods, but resisted - after four days of steeping, it might get too much, I told myself.
Since the peaches were supposed to be completely covered in the wine but mine weren't, I placed a small piece of parchment paper with a cross on the surface of the wine so that the peaches wouldn't directly contact the air. That was it for Day 1, and I put the jar of wine and peach on a corner of the kitchen counter to let sit overnight before putting it in the fridge.
During the four days and nights of sitting, I would take the jar out of the fridge and watched and smelled the wine now and then. The color or smell didn't seem to be changing much, at least not so noticeably.
In the morning of Day 6, I strained the wine into a pan for the final step: mixing in honey and vodka. I was supposed to use Italian honey according to the recipe, but I had never seen such a thing ever in any of my local stores, so I just used Hawaiian white honey. Because the delicate white honey would radically change its flavor when heated (or so it said on the label), I just warmed up the wine a bit and removed it from heat, then added the honey (in a bit reduced amount than the recipe since the white wine was rather sweet) to dissolve. Strained once again and finished up with a dose of vodka, my cordial was looking nice and smelling lovely.
After chilled several hours in the fridge, we tried small glasses of it in the evening. The flavors of peach and cardamom were very subtle and he didn't figure what was in it, except for vodka which had been added at the very end of the process and still left its distinct sharpness in the drink. I would have liked it even better had it been more of peach and cardamom taste, but it was still nice and sweet, and you might see its subtleness as "discreet".
We kept the cordial in the fridge and took a glass or two now and then during August. The taste definitely developed over time and got substantially milder after a couple of weeks. I think I like that way better, even though he would joke it around calling it "peach juice" and requesting me to boost it up with additional vodka (which I didn't). It was a fun summer project.
It was also a nice occasion to use a pair of Bohemian crystals that my mother had given to me. She got a set of six glasses with a carafe when we went to Prague earlier this year, and gave away one pair to my sister and her husband, and another to us, saying she would only need two for her home. I usually like glasses plain simple the best, but those were a bit special to me.

Hi Donna,
That is the exactly the idea they had in this recipe, enjoying a reminder of early summer on the later days... I like it a lot, too. I might actually try this one again, as peaches are still out in the stores. :)

Re: Integrate into krdc
Well, I don't see why it couldn't be integrated.
If I remember right it was on the kde 3.3 feature plan.
NX is surely going to rock.
By Mark Hannessen at Mon, 2004/06/28 - 5:00am
Re: Integrate into krdc
If it was on the 3.3 feature plan, it surely should be parr of the 3.3 release, no?
I believe the reason for the "just-in-time" sentence of the story above may be that they rushed to finish it before 3.3 freeze, no?

Producing Fruit
It seems as though the KDE Debian/UserLinux proposal was not just lip-service then? This is the sort of stuff Enterprizes want to hear, not arguments about licenses and developing proprietary software for free.
Working with Novell Zenworks and distributed VB apps, I certainly know the major problems 'fat' clients can cause - and it's worse than I ever thought possible. Distributing the right DLL versions, ini files, distributing database passwords (encrypted in ini files!) on the client for database access, MDAC components..... That's just the tip of the iceberg. Centralizing this whilst using clients in the correct manner would be a godsend.
This seems to have come along at a very opportune moment. I sincerely wish you all the best at Linuxtag 2004, and let us know the scale of interest. It should be huge.

Now if I could solve
these printing issues with thin clients.
By thomas at Mon, 2004/06/28 - 5:00am
Re: Now if I could solve
Is it printing to local printers supported in NX?
NX provides support for SMB protocol, by which both local printers and file-systems can be made available to the remote session. Currently, printers and file-systems are "mounted" by the NX server. These resources can in turn, be mounted by a WinTSE machine. All the SMB communication, that is both file access and printing, takes place compressed through ZLIB. The compression level depends on the link speed. Enhancements have been added to the GUI to simplify sharing a printer or a resource but this is still a work in progress. At the moment there are still problems to fully integrate NX client with the local printing system (e.g. CUPS or Win printing).
By Debian at Mon, 2004/06/28 - 5:00am
Re: Now if I could solve
The upcoming NX-1.4 will start to support printing from your remote X11 sessions to your local printers. The current 1.3.2 release doesnt support this yet -- but it supports all the speed gains you read about in the article and comments.
To test the 1.4, look for the "1.4 snapshot" release on NoMachine.com. It is there in source form and you need to compile it.
If you are a Debian user, visit Kalyxo.org for *.deb packages with a working "nxtunnel" script (that serves as a temporary placeholder until "FreeNX Server" is fully released).

vnc comparison?
Any word on how this compares or is different then *VNC? Outside of the cooler domain name of course.
We use a couple of VNC servers at my .edu and they work really great.
Downloading eval NX client now...
By Ian Monroe at Mon, 2004/06/28 - 5:00am
Re: vnc comparison?
To answer my own question, NX appears to actually be some sort of wrapper around VNC and X Windows. And the sound server, which I was impressed by. It appears to have some sort of support for file and print sharing as well.
By Ian Monroe at Mon, 2004/06/28 - 5:00am
Re: vnc comparison?
Wrapper around VNC? This sounds wrong.
Re: vnc comparison?
You get the selection of Unix, VNC and Windows as your Desktop. I assume Unix means X11? But I dunno really. Their test servers are swamped, as to be expected.
For some reason running with multimedia support and Amarok conflicts, even though they're both using artsd.
By Ian Monroe at Mon, 2004/06/28 - 5:00am
Re: vnc comparison?
From http://www.nomachine.com/faq.php: "NX is about building the next web on top of remote execution and tunneling of arbitrary protocols (X, RDP, SMB, HTTP, IPP, RSYNC, Audio, Video) in a peer-to-peer network."
So you can tunnel VNC through NX too but it's not needed/used to tunnel X.
Re: vnc comparison?
NX is NOT a wrapper around VNC. NX (for unix) has nothing to do with VNC. NX is "just" a compressing proxy for X protocol, that means it only uses the X primitives and compresses them.
You would never get such a performance (70:1 compression and almost no round-trips) with VNC...
By MacBerry at Mon, 2004/06/28 - 5:00am
Re: vnc comparison?
NX itself is based on X11. NX adds
-- extremely efficient compression (better than generic ZLIB, with less CPÜ cycles burned) to X-based traffic;
-- a very intelligent caching mechanism (click for first time on the "K"- or any other menu and watch the delay -- then click on the same menu a second time and notice the difference);
-- elimination of the dreaded round-trips (composed of "X-request" and "X-reply" pairs) which make X over lo-bandwidth/hi-latency links so slow, even if you switch on the "-C" (for compression) in your "ssh -X" (X-forwarding) connection).
That, of course, makes NX the prime choice to tunnel X connections through. In the highest compression level (select "Modem") the avarage efficiency increase for an office productivity session (running KDE as a desktop, Konqueror as the file manager, KMail as your mail client, OpenOffice as your word processor and Mozilla as your browser) you can get as much as 60:1 effective compression on avarage (and if you stick to "pure KDE" (use KWord for word processing, and Konqui for web browsing too), it may even be more...
But NX (and based on this, kNX Cclient and FreeNX Server) can do even more: it can also convert RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol, used by Windows Terminal Servers) and RFB (used by VNC servers) to NX and thereby increase efficiency of these two protocols by 2- to 10-fold across slow links (even if you compare it to TightVNC!).
So to call NX a "wrapper around VNC" would be entirely wrong even if you use it to access a TightVNC server: a mere wrapper would never give you a 2- to 10-fold speed boost....
By Kurt Pfeifle at Mon, 2004/06/28 - 5:00am
Re: vnc comparison?
Ok, that makes sense. I was just going on the fact that you had a choice between Windows, Unix and VNC.
I'm using it to connect to my computer at home. It uses a upload-capped cable modem (so its set to ISDN), so its squeaking by. Response to some input seems delayed. I would call it usable, which couldn't be said for VNC.
I notice that cacheing your talking about when browsing a web page. Its faster to scroll up and down in areas of a page I've already looked at.
By Ian Monroe at Tue, 2004/06/29 - 5:00am
Re: vnc comparison?
> It uses a upload-capped cable modem (so its set to ISDN), so its squeaking by.
I take you're saying your monthly quota is 100% used and the service is making difficult to upload things.
I say this because, even if your "up" connection is limited to, say, 33Kbps, you would still have an usable experience with NX (I've use ICA in this situation and NX is said to equal or better than it).
Could someone in-the-know throw some 2¢ here?
By Café, pô! at Tue, 2004/06/29 - 5:00am
Re: vnc comparison?
No its capped at about 15-20 kpbs (the supposed minimum upload is 32 kbps second, but it seems to be more like thats the max), there isn't a quota. ISPs with quotas are un-American. Like I said, its usable but sometimes unresponsive. With VNC its easy to gauge if its being responsive enough since the mouse cursor is drawn remotely, but the cursor with NX is always responsive.
I know your overall internet connection can be hosed by using all your upload bandwidth. It could be a situation where limiting the amount of bandwidth available to NX would make things more reliable.
By Ian Monroe at Wed, 2004/06/30 - 5:00am
Re: vnc comparison?
Cable is a shared bandwidth medium. Because everybody on the same cable segment shares that bandwidth, the more they can restrict a users use of bandwidth, the more customers they can put on the same segment.
Further, they don't like other people's content competing with theirs so they do slimy things like severely restrict upload speeds to that Bit Torrent and other peer-to-peer networks don't function well.
DSL by contrast doesn't have the maximum transmission speed that cable does, but your circuit is your circuit, and the upload speeds tend to be less restrictive although most DSL is still asymmetrical favoring download speed over upload, but in general upload speeds are much better and DSL companies generally won't cancel you for using too much bandwidth which has become a favorite hobby of some cable companies.
And no I didn't come here to advertise; I was looking for a way to do audio with vnc; this just happens to be a sensitive point because I loose a lot of customers to cable when people are fooled into thinking they're getting a huge amount of bandwidth on the cheap; and of coarse they are as long as they don't actually try to use it.
By Robert Dinse at Fri, 2008/12/12 - 6:00am
Re: vnc comparison?
It has much better compression (average 70:1).

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — The PGA of America, Golf Digest and Nike Golf have partnered to launch Welcome to Golf Month in May, a new Play Golf America program evolving from PGA Free Lesson Month. While free 10-minute lessons from PGA/LPGA Professionals are the foundation of Welcome to Golf Month, additional complimentary introductory programs, orientations and Get Golf Ready clinics are also part of the innovative month-long promotion.
More than 1.1 million people have received free 10-minute lessons in May since 1998 when The PGA of America and Golf Digest originally introduced PGA Free Lesson Month, one of the most successful growth-of-the-game initiatives in the golf industry.
As part of the new Welcome to Golf month of May, The PGA of America, in conjunction with its partners Golf Digest and Nike Golf, is launching a Twitter campaign to promote the free, fun aspects of this program. Beginning the week of April 30, The PGA is asking the entire golf industry, pro golfers and golfers across America to tweet about their Welcome to Golf experiences using the hashtag #welcometogolf.
"Golf is a game – a game with a ball and a stick that produces a ton of fun," said PGA of America President Allen Wronowski. "Welcome to Golf Month is the perfect time to get out and give golf a try by taking a free 10-minute lesson or by participating in a free golf clinic. We encourage golfers to bring their family and friends to the course to share in the experience and have a great time together."
Welcome to Golf Month is the perfect time for lapsed golfers to come back to the game; new golfers to try the game; and avid golfers to bring a friend or family member to the game. Consumers can find Welcome to Golf Month programs in their area by going to PlayGolfAmerica.com/wtg and can find a "Beginner's Guide" on how to get started in the game at GolfDigest.com.
"As stewards of this great game, we are pleased to support Welcome to Golf Month," said Golf Digest Chairman Editorial Director Jerry Tarde. "This month-long celebration of golf is a tremendous opportunity for our game to recruit new players, bring lapsed players back and expose it to the next generation of golfers."
Every golfer who participates in Welcome to Golf Month is encouraged to enter the sweepstakes for a chance to win a two-day/two-night getaway and golf school at The PGA Center for Golf Learning and Performance in Port St. Lucie, Fla., or two sets of Nike golf clubs.
More than 3.3 million people have participated in Play Golf America programs since 2004. Since its inception, Play Golf America programs have provided millions of people with the opportunity to learn the game of golf and/or to be re-introduced to the game through free and affordable programs hosted by PGA and LPGA Professionals nationwide. Not only do the programs develop basic golf skills and techniques, but they also promote health and fitness principles while having fun spending time with family and friends.
Welcome to Golf Month is sponsored by Golf Digest, Nike Golf, and the PGA Center for Golf Learning and Performance.
