This week I've been running a large open-source graphics card comparison using Mesa 10.3-devel and Linux 3.17 from Git. While the intentions were nice with featuring Intel/NVIDIA/AMD graphics, running several benchmarks of Steam / Source Engine games on Linux, and also measuring the power efficiency and thermal performance, the testing was cut short when it came to the Nouveau driver testing.
As a forewarning to casual Linux users that might be running Nouveau for your GeForce hardware and once in a while update against the Oibaf PPA or Ubuntu Mainline Kernel PPA, it appears there's some bad issues right now affecting at least Ubuntu Unity users... Today in trying out several graphics cards from Kepler GPUs to old GeForce 9 hardware, there's very evident on-screen corruption and rendering problems with all the NVIDIA hardware tested thus far.

Hi I'm Nikki. I'm a nasty bitch with a filthy mouth who's addicted to money and dick. I'm a proud slut so if you're looking for an innocent sweet little thing then look elsewhere. I talk dirty as fuck so you can look forward to that. I'm black and mexican, 5'5 with a thick juicy round ass and some fat triple D titties sitting on my chest. Add the fact that I have a pretty face and you can imagine why I can't go anywhere without some guy wanting to stuff his dick in me (and I let them). I just LOOK like a ho. A walking sex doll. I have no problem walking out of the house with this thick brown ass hanging out of a tight pair of booty shorts either.
I tried prostitution for a little bit just for the experience and to see what the money was like. It was fun getting my box pounded by random guys in the back alleys of corner stores clutching fistfulls of cash and thinking about what a nasty fucking slut I was being while getting fucked like that gave me some of the best orgasms I've ever had. I might try it again. I dunno yet. Hopefully phone sex is just as fun as slinging pussy on the streets was.
Almost everything I have I got from giving up my pussy, ass, or throat for it. My clothes, shoes, phone, laptop, even my car. I love dick and I love money so bending over and getting my ass stretched out for shoe money gives me such a high. I LOVE being treated like a fucking whore.
Click the 'Buy Now' button below to Join Nikki's Cum Club for $1!! (Join now because on August 5th the entry fee will be raised to $3)
Everyone in my Cum Club gets 5 FREE MINUTES from me EVERY WEEK! All you have to do is spend a minimum of 15 mins a week on the phone with me!

Free minutes will be sent out every Friday night! Click the button above to join Nikki's Cum Club!
Throw some cash at my pretty cum-buttered face to keep this pussy wet
Call me and let me get that hard fucking dick off for you. I got all three holes ready for you to pound the fuck out of them. Come use this nasty ass gutter slut.
Don't forget to tip me! A happy slut is a better slut!

ONTARIO – Pollster Steven M. Kinney has nearly four decades' worth of professional experience studying politics and data, but he won't hazard a public guess on the outcome of this year's presidential election between President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
"We believe this could repeat the closeness of the `04 election. Or maybe even closer," Kinney said Friday to a gathering of the Lincoln Club of San Bernardino County.
Kinney is a partner at Public Opinion Strategies, a polling firm with offices in Redondo Beach that advises Republican candidates.
Obama has maintained support from key demographics that helped him win the 2008 election – African Americans, Latinos, 18- to 29-year-old voters and white female college graduates, Kinney said.
Seniors and conservatives, however, appear to have more motivation to cast a vote, Kinney said.
"This is an election of anger," he said. "They don't have a heavy love of Romney. They have an intense dislike of Obama."
Several polls, as archived on RealClearPolitics.com, give Obama an average 4.1 point lead over Romney.
The site's Electoral College projections, however, have Obama five votes short of a win and seven states – Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Virginia are listed as toss-ups and could provide Romney sufficient votes to claim the White House.
Kinney said he and his colleagues believe the economy will dominate the election but public opinion won't solidify until mid-October.
Obama and Romney have yet to have their first debate, which is set for Wednesday.
Also, the Labor Department will release two jobs reports before the election, including one set for release the Friday before Election Day.
The official unemployment rate stood at 8.1 percent August.
In 1984, Ronald Reagan won reelection with an October jobless rate of 7.4 percent, the worst unemployment level for an incumbent president who won a new term, according to Kinney's firm.
In 1980, Jimmy Carter lost to Reagan with an October jobless rate of 7.5 percent.
George H.W. Bush lost his election bid to Bill Clinton in 1992 with an October unemployment rate of 7.3 percent.
The Lincoln Club of San Bernardino County is a conservative group that directs its outreach to business owners, chairman Marc Steinworth said.

Constantly plagued with anxiety? Don't worry — you just may live longer. So says a team of researchers from the Cleveland Clinic and Case Western Reserve University, who studied 1,000 elderly women over the course of 15 years. Their results conclude that women who were more anxiety-ridden at the start of the study outlived those with less stress. The team deduced that higher anxiety may have led the participants to be more active and health-conscious.
That may be anxiety relieving news for the long haul, but you should still take steps to reduce your anxiety to avoid consequences like depression or stress-induced sicknesses later. So to live your life with less anxiety and stress, try these tips, as recommended by The American Academy of Family Physicians.

Appliance Repair Questions? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hi . how is the heating system filled. By a header tank or by the mains ( sealed system ) ?
Have you bled the radiators
Header tank and not since spring
The system may be air locked somewhere , bleed the pump , the rads and check header tank is refilling.also try the pump on maximum . air can build up /be released from the water over the summer . check for manual air release valves within boiler on heating pipes , also on all high pipework points and check near hot water cylinder.
The pump may be seized. Open the bleed on the pump, insert a screw diver and feel for the pumps spinning. If the pumps in good condition , you shouldn't be able to stop the impeller .
Thanks, ***** ***** these but would they prevent all 3 of the status lights on the front of the boiler panel from lighting? I'd have expected the
power light to be on at least.
Try turning the boiler on and off to reset
Do you have a multimeter or voltage tester to check if there is power to the boiler?
Sorry, I'd gone to bed. I'll see if I can get hold of a multimeter and check teh power when I get home this evening. I'll get back to you.
Good morning Toby. I couldn't get hold of a meter yesterday but I'm picking one up from a friend tomorrow morning and will check the power then. In the meantime I'd previously bled the downstairs radiators and they were fine but when I tried the upstairs ones last night they wouldn't bleed. I checked the header tank and found the ball valve had stuck shut. I freed it and was able to bleed the remaining radiators. Unfortunately although the boiler still fires up, there's no circulation. I'll let you know how I get on once I've tested the electrics.
Ok , but I don't think you need the electrical tester. It will definitely be air in the system. Try to bleed upstairs rads, it may be very slow and the pump , eventually it should fill, but you need to clear the air first
Hi . how did you get on . was it air?
Hello Toby. I bled the radiators again last night but still no joy, however when I woke up this morning the radiators were all on !
Still no lights on the front of the boiler though. I've just picked up the AVO meter and I'll test them when I get back.
That's great , just going out for a couple of hours, speak later then ,

why will the quest badges not update?
I don't know what's wrong here either. I had to finish the game 4 times before i got the last quest. It was the first time that i tried it with a new save though.
So i started with nothing and completed every ingame quest but left one city completely untouched. I finished it and all of its missions in one try then and the game finished. When i clicked on new game i finally got the "Nothing to do" quest.
It did not work when i tried it the same way with a savegame where i finished the game before, so you might have to start all over again too.
i'd finished the game before the quests. i went through a new game and cleared them again and still no update
Question about Power in your veins quest, does that include upgrading all of the zombies too? Otherwise, it's impossible to generate enough $ to upgrade everything. Once you destroy a town you can't replay it when you run out of money.
you can attack a city and leave some missions unfinished so it doesnt get destroyed. Then you can attack it until you have enough money and complete the missons after that
the large citys in south america are nice for farming money
To upgrade everything to the max you must grind... if you dont finish all challenges you can raze the town again and again.
hello, i have problem with quest nothing to do, i have completed all achievements and i didnt get this quest+on AG i have quest complete the game but in game... i dont know how to say it, here you have the pictures:

the links cannot be loaded, i just have on achievement infectonator 100%, but not completed, all achievements but i didnt get the quest nothing to do and on AG i have quest complete the game but in game no....
This game is so broken with the "Nothing to do" quest it's unbelievable. I have completed it about 4 times still couldn't get it. I played it from new game just as guided above, destroyed all the cities, only left two. One intact and one for grinding, grinded all the upgrades. After destroying the last city I get the clip as usual but no quest... FFS do something with this cause playing the same game many times in hopes to complete the quest if the game is kind enough is absolute bullcrap
I actually got all those, before i made an acoount at AG. *facepalm at myself*
Why i got "ower in your veins" quest, but when i refreshed - it disappeared?
Adorei o jogo excelente , as quest's são um tanto difÃceis de se conseguir
i just complete game and i had all upgrades and in game archivements and quest can't be completed... ;/

Part memoir, part travelogue, Going Loco takes us on a dizzying journey around the medical world - from the challenge of a make-shift surgery in the African bush, to the terror of smuggling beagles into Amsterdam on behalf of a global pharmaceutical company. We encounter extraordinary characters on the way - impossible patients, brave souls, and more than a smattering of crazy doctors.
©2009 Tom Smith; (P)2009 Soundings
"Another enjoyable chapter in Dr. Tom Smith's life."
I enjoyed these further tales from the Scottish Dr just as much, if not more, than the first book. I found his narrating had improved, he sounded much more relaxed. Again, I found it easy to build up a picture in my mind from his descriptions which brought his tales to life. A very small piece of me feels he has so many wonderful stories to tell, can they all be true? But working in the medical profession myself I have listened to colleagues tell similar stories, and with Tom's years in the career it may well be possible to have had so many experiences. I hope the most recent book will be released as an audio book very soon.
"Something's wrong with the recording."
Yes. We'd especially like to finish this one!
The part where we realized that we'd already heard what we were hearing. approximately 7 hours and ten minutes into the story.
I've so enjoyed Dr. Tom's stories, wonderfully read by the man himself. His humble courage in the face of the unpredictable world is marvelously heartening. From tears to belly laughs, this and his first book are well worth a listen. I'm onto the third now.
"Enjoyable Series"
Interesting stories, characters and the right amount of humor and history. Well worth a listen.
"Second Best"
This second memoir of a Scottish doctor dealt more with the travel and business side of his practice. Well written and well performed in his pleasant Scottish brogue, it has moments of humor and interaction with memorable patients. A nice follow-up to the first and best volume called A Seaside Practice.
"What an interesting life!"
I enjoyed the continuation of his experiences. There are fewer stories of his practice and more of his life in industry but he writes and reads with good humour and interest. I loved it.

IDI continues to support the provision of comprehensive HIV prevention, care and treatment services across the supported districts through health facility and community-based approaches. The duo approach has provided an opportunity for communities to know their HIV status, as well as create an entry point into care. The programs also support targeted HIV counselling and Testing Interventions for key and priority populations to ensure increased yield for those that are HIV positive. Those testing HIV positive are linked to HIV/AIDS care and treatment services of their choice. Over the last six years (2010-2016), over 1,200,000 (one million two hundred thousand) individuals have received HIV counselling and testing services across the supported districts.
By the end of March 2016, IDI supported programs in Kampala, Mid-Western Uganda (7 districts) and West Nile Region were supporting over 110,000 HIV positive individuals active in HIV care across its supported outreach projects. Care and support of patients is enhanced through strengthening key health systems including; adult and paediatric HIV/AIDS/TB care, laboratory services (including CD4, viral load tests, clinical chemistry and haematological testing among other tests), pharmacy logistical support Management Information System (HMIS), and comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention interventions (including PMTCT OptionB+, VMMC) among others.
As a contribution to the Ministry of Health goal of contributing to the reduction of HIV incidence in Uganda, and as part of the provision of quality and comprehensive male reproductive health services, IDI has scaled up safe adult male circumcision (SMC) services across eight supported districts, including Kampala. Through the use of both static and mobile SMC approaches, IDI in partnership with different stakeholders and all the participating districts had cumulatively circumcised over 210,000 males for HIV prevention by March 2016. These men also receive STI screening (and treatment as required) as well as HIV screening.
Since 2012, IDI has been rolling out prevention of mother-to-child transmission-early infant diagnosis (PMTCT-EID) and PMTCT Option B Plus to all IDI-supported health facilities across the supported districts, in support of the National EMTCT Programme that seeks to achieve zero vertical HIV infections; and the UNAIDS "Count down to Zero" Global Plan towards the elimination of new HIV infections among children, and keeping their mothers alive and on treatment.
IDI also supports the development of relevant clinic flow system models to provide linkage between the care points for the mothers and infants. IDI has supported revitalisation of young child clinics and strengthening capacity for emergency obstetric care at district hospitals and HCIVs, through support to the recruitment of critical human resources for health to ensure24/7 coverage. IDI has also created demand for PMTCT-EID services through mobilisation, sensitisation, community HIV testing and provision of transport facilitation to needy mother-baby pairs. The Village Health Team (VHT) system has also been revitalised in the supported districts. IDI has also been a key player for the EMTCT campaigns for both Kampala and Bunyoro regions.

Message is clear: Jackets need a better startby Rob Mixer / Columbus Blue Jackets
No matter how exciting the Blue Jackets' late season playoff run was last spring, one burning matter remained all summer: with a better start, they would have been in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
They may have been a slam dunk for the postseason if not for a 5-12-3 opening that put them behind the 8-ball with roughly two months left in the lockout-shortened season. The players knew it, the coaches knew it: no one wanted to go through the excitement-turned-disappointment that was the final game of the regular season again without the proper result.
And that has been a primary focus for the coaching staff and players throughout the summer – starting on the right foot and getting ahead of the game, and not having to play catch-up late in the year.
One thing Blue Jackets management noticed was the team's record improving as the season moved along, which John Davidson attributed to the players becoming comfortable with one another and everyone understanding their roles.
With the majority of the team returning in 2013-14, the Blue Jackets are confident that they can hit the ground running and avoid the opposite.
"For our club, we can just look at our win/loss record as it got better during the season, so we feel strongly as a group to have a full training camp (and how it helps)," Davidson said. "Everyone knows when training camp is, and as a player, you work with your body to get yourself into top shape and come into camp and go from there. Last season, with a looming lockout that turned into a lockout, there's so many question marks – but there's no excuses because some teams came out and played very well.
"That page is turned; we know what we are as an organization and we know what we demand from our players as a management group. We know how our coaching staff coaches and the players have a lot of knowledge built in already. I feel like we're going to hit the ice with our feet going already. We should be ready to go and there shouldn't be any excuses."
One of the most valuable things the Blue Jackets can take from last season, Davidson said, is the experience gained from playing in meaningful games so late in the season. With a young group that's surrounded by a strong leadership group, they developed a lot of trust and belief in each other by competing in tight hockey games that carried significant weight in the playoff race.
While they can't just pick up where they left off, Davidson believes the Blue Jackets are in a much better position now because of what they went through a year ago.
"This club, late in the season, had to win games to be in the run for the playoffs and they did," Davidson said. "They won a lot of games on the road, which is very difficult late in the season. I think they learned, as a group, what it takes to win some tough hockey games and I'm hoping they remember that.
"I'm convinced they will. The parity in this league is remarkable; every other club is trying to improve in the offseason as we did."

2010 NBA Free Agency: Why LeBron James Should Go to the Chicago BullsJuly 7, 2010
For almost two years now, NBA fans all around the world have been anticipating the Free Agency Frenzy of 2010. Now that it's here, many of us have been glued to the news, patiently waiting for new reports and player tweets to be released. While this may seem crazy, the decisions made are, indeed, important as they will determine the landscape of the league for years to come.
So far, we've been informed of where a few of the big-name superstars are headed. Early on in the process, we learned that Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, and Joe Johnson will all be remaining with their respective teams. Then, the first domino fell as Amar'e Stoudemire agreed to a blockbuster 5-year, $100 million deal that will reunite him with his former Head Coach Mike D' Antoni, in New York.
According to reports today, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are set to join forces in Miami, creating one of the best duos in the game.
However, arguably the best player in the NBA still remains on the market. Two-time reigning MVP LeBron James has scheduled a press conference during which he will finally announce his crucial decision.
The teams expected to still realistically be in the sweepstakes include the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, and possibly even the New York Knicks. Despite endless speculation, nobody knows for sure who the favorite is and whether or not the King has already firmly made up his mind on where he wants his throne to be.
Even though Cleveland is his hometown, New York provides the ultimate city spotlight, and the Heat offer the chance to possibly form the greatest trio of all-time, I still firmly believe that the Chicago Bulls are the team that he should sign with.
First of all, the Chicago Bulls are by far the most decorated franchise of the four teams. Their six championships are 3rd to only the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics; coincidentally two of the best teams in the league today. While New York may be celebrity heaven, Chicago is the place to be for a professional basketball player.
Looking at the present day circumstances, the Bulls also have the most to offer. Unlike the other three teams, the Bulls already have a young nucleus of players in place.
In a point-guard driven league, they've got the best of the four in Derrick Rose. With that being the case, LeBron wouldn't be forced to be the primary play-maker like he was in Cleveland.
Moreover, with a defensive center in Joakim Noah and the awakening of the Carlos Boozer signing, the Bulls have one of the best front courts in the league, let alone of the four as well. As the Lakers demonstrated, a solid rotation of big men is an integral key to success.
Not to mention, the Bulls have a couple other pieces in place with Luol Deng and Taj Gibson and have the flexibility to surround the team with shooters.
The most important element that the Bulls possess, in my opinion, is chemistry. They showed that even without LeBron and Boozer, this is a playoff caliber team. Now, those two can come in as the final pieces of the puzzle.
Honestly, if you look at the big picture, there is truly no reason why LeBron shouldn't sign with the Bulls.
Even though he may feel a need to stay loyal to the Cavaliers, this should be a rational basketball decision as opposed to an emotional one.
Chris Bosh's refusal to play in Cleveland, alone, should be enough to prove to LeBron that recruiting talent to come play alongside him in Cleveland will be a struggle. Despite all the moves the Cavaliers have desperately made over the past few seasons, the franchise has nothing tangible to show for it.
At some point, he has to cut his losses and do what's best for him.
As for Miami, while the potential is great, there is too much of a risk on, both LeBron's, and the Heat's side, to make the move. The Heat are better off signing legitimate role players, while LeBron is better off signing with the Bulls.
In addition, the argument that New York can make him a global icon is utterly ridiculous and shouldn't even be considered. LeBron is already one of, if not, the most famous basketball player on the face of the planet. The only way for him to earn more respect and fame would be to prove that he is amongst the greatest of all-time. The best way to do so would be to win championships.
I'm confident that if LeBron James signs with the Chicago Bulls, he will be given the best possible opportunity to be a winner.
The ball is in his hands as he has a gold choice to control his own destiny. The big question now is, what will he do with it? Be sure, to tune in to ESPN at 9 PM ET to find out.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Ads supporting Israel and likening jihad to savagery are expected to show up at 10 New York City subway stations next week, a transit spokesman said.
Aaron Donovan of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said the city lost a federal court battle over its refusal to accept the advertisements opposing jihad, Islamic holy war, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer ruled the American Freedom Defense Initiative had a First Amendment right to place its ads at subway stations.
The ads read: "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man."
They conclude with the words, "Support Israel. Defeat Jihad" wedged between two Stars of David."
The American Freedom Defense Initiative also purchased ad space in Washington where the D.C. transit authority said it has "deferred" placement "out of concern for public safety, given current world events."
Pamela Geller, executive director of the group, told the Times in an email Washington transit officials are "kowtowing to the threat of jihad terrorism."
"Freedom must be vigorously defended," she said.

Election speculation is growing louder in Quebec after a veteran Liberal politician announced his resignation earlier than expected, saying a looming election call expedited his decision.
Norman MacMillan, first elected in 1989 and most recently a junior transport minister, told reporters he thinks the election will be "soon" but only Premier Jean Charest and those closest to him know the exact date.
Wednesday's La Presse speculated that Quebec will have a provincial election on September 4, one day after Labour Day.
Citing unnamed sources, the newspaper says Charest wants to go to the polls as soon as possible.
There is good reason for Charest to want to do so, even though he has more than a year left in his mandate.
An inquiry into government corruption on construction contracts resumes on September 17 and could prove to be embarrassing to the Liberals.
The most sensational allegation in the inquiry so far came from a prominent civil servant who said 70% of money raised by Quebec political parties is done illegally.
Additionally, student protests have quieted over the summer but are likely to pick up again when school starts in September.
Crowds have noticeably thinned out over the summer, but Quebec solidaire MNA Amir Khadir, the main political supporter of the protests, said students are merely resting before bouncing "back stronger in August and September."

The boy didn't realize that Peter Lonard was cross after a poor round at a recent tournament in Sydney; that this wasn't the best time to come at him with pen and pad. But Lonard took a deep breath and started scribbling. The boy asked, "How'd you go?" Lonard sighed, "No good today. Bit cranky." He smiled, encouraging older fans who'd been holding back to come forward. He posed for photos and chatted, not trying to charm, just doing his best.
Whether he's mingling with the public, dealing with reporters or striking golf balls, Lonard these days looks at ease. Three-time U.S. Open champion Hale Irwin once said that the more he played the game, the surer he was "that a man's performance is the outward manifestation of who, in his heart, he really thinks he is." Having made it back from debilitating illness, periods of self-doubt and a spell in something like a real job, Lonard knows better than most of his fellow pros how lucky he is to play golf for a living.
How far can he go? Until last year, when he excelled in his first tilt at the U.S. Tour and soared up the rankings (he's now the world No. 27), few people would have given him a chance of winning one of golf's four most prestigious titles. When Australians looked for a successor to the fading Greg Norman, they tended to settle on youngsters Adam Scott and Aaron Baddeley. Both have great potential. But in a short career Baddeley's made overly bold statements about his prospects, talked a lot of psychobabble, streaked his hair and worn clothes garish even by golfing standards. In other words, like the more settled Scott, he's still growing up.
At 35, with a sun-ravaged footballer's neck, Lonard is the better for having a little more life behind him. World No. 1 Tiger Woods has changed the game only up to a point since his reign began in the late '90s. Predictions that golf would be taken over by lithe young athletes haven't come true. In the latest world rankings, only two of the top 10 are under 30 - Woods (who's 27) and the Spaniard Sergio Garcia (23). Lonard isn't the next Norman. He's a quieter man who lacks his countryman's freakish talent and couldn't possibly give as many majors a shake as the Shark did over a decade. But there are signs that he's capable of great deeds. As Lonard prepares for his first U.S. Masters next month, former Australian pro Jack Newton says the Sydneysider "has gone to another level this past year. He's become a bit of a machine. I think he's very capable of winning a major."
Perhaps Lonard's a late bloomer because he was a late starter. He was 12 when he played his first round, on a lousy beach day while holidaying on the New South Wales Central Coast. When he was 16 "something captured my imagination," he says. He isn't sure what it was - probably an image from a Masters telecast - but he clearly remembers announcing to his parents one night that he was going to be a golf pro. "That sent a shock through the house," says Lonard, whose father worked for the same insurance company for 45 years and needed convincing there was a way besides a stable job to financial independence.
Like the English champion Nick Faldo, Lonard is an only child temperamentally suited to solitary practice. Without lessons or instructional books, he was off a handicap of four by the time he was 17. He sought out Sydney-born coach Gary Edwin, who videotaped Lonard's swing and asked him what he thought of it. The pupil thought it looked sound and said so. Recalls Lonard: "Gary then tore it to shreds."
In a seven-hour lesson, Lonard was shown a whole new way of swinging a club. Previously, he says, all the coaching snippets he'd heard involved "old-style stuff like grip and keeping your head still." Edwin told him to forget those things and concentrate instead on posture and what he called "the levels of your swing." Watch weekend golfers and their shoulders move up and down in the course of their swing; the pros' shoulders stay level throughout. To this day, whenever Lonard has swing trouble he reviews the points he learned in that first lesson.
Edwin sent him away with some drills, which Lonard practiced eight hours a day for a month. The effect on his game was dramatic. He was fit and strong but had been hitting the ball "nowhere," he says. Now his drives were whistling into the distance. Even for the best players, catching the ball dead center happens only a handful of times per round. Lonard's strike rate these days is better than that. "Most of the guys will tell you," says Newton, "that there aren't too many sweeter hitters of the ball than Peter."
What might be called phase one of Lonard's pro career wasn't flash. In the early '90s, he won a pittance in Europe as he learned the difference between a fine club golfer and a successful pro, who must play at his best while handling the rigors and temptations of travel. Lonard had little time to adjust. In 1992, he became ill with what was eventually diagnosed as Ross River fever. He suffered severe joint pain, eyesight problems and a crushing fatigue, which he fought by stuffing himself with sugary foods. In about a year, he says, "I went from 80 kg ripping fit to 115 kg."
Thinking his touring days were over, he pleased his dad by accepting a job as the pro at Sydney's Oatlands Golf Club. Life was quieter but fulfilling. "I got real enjoyment out of giving people lessons and seeing them improve," he says. "You take someone off [a] 27 [handicap] and they play to 20, they come in like they've just won the lottery."
Ross River fever ripped about three years out of Lonard's golfing career. Slowly, he regained the energy to practice and to compete in minor events, and as his body shrunk his determination to have another crack at the big time grew. In 1997, he became the first club pro to win the Australasian Tour of Merit. It marked the start of phase two, which carried him last year to the U.S. circuit, where he had four top-10 finishes, barely missed a cut and won $A2.7 million. After more strong showings this year, including reaching the semi-finals of last week's World Match Play Championship in California, he agrees with Newton that he's ready to challenge in a major.
In his 20s, when people told him how exciting the life of a golf pro must be, he'd grumble about constant traveling. Time away from competitive golf made him realize how much he loved it. "There's nothing better than playing in front of galleries and having to hit shots under pressure," he says. "I felt really happy that I'd been given a second chance." Rather than finding the U.S. Tour intimidating, he felt at home in a country where, he says, "there's no shame in wanting to be better and doing everything you can to improve."
Single and childless, Lonard doesn't have to deal with what many pros say is the toughest part of the job - walking out the front door. Golf is his life and he has three goals for the year: win a U.S. tournament, break into the world Top 15 and be on the leader board in a major on the Sunday afternoon. The Masters is unlikely to be the one: a man needs to have been burned by Augusta before he can hope to conquer it. Lonard's only ever walked the course, in 1997, when Woods blitzed the field to win his first major and people said the game was different now, that it was a young man's game, after all. But it's not. Not entirely. As much about stable judgment and emotional courage as physical excellence, golf still has room to give a late-blooming Australian the best times of his life.

Actually I will not spam you and keep your personal data secure
Check Point Software Technologies released a media alert regarding online shops running Ebay's open-source software Magento.
The company discovered a massive vulnerability that allows malicious attackers to execute remote code.
If it's exploited, this vulnerability can fully compromise the store running Magento. Attackers have the ability to completely bypass the store's security and access the full database and administrative tools.
"The vulnerability we uncovered represents a significant threat not to just one store, but to all of the retail brands that use the Magento platform for their online stores – which represents about 30% of the ecommerce market." – Shahar Tal, Malware and Vulnerability Research Manager
Prior to disclosing the findings, Check Point ST announced Ebay's development team on this issue. As a result, the company posted a patch on February 9, 2015 (SUPEE-5344 available here). If you are running Magento and have not patched your application, now is the time to do it.
With over 240 000 installs, Magento is the most popular open-source solution to ecommerce stores in the world. As you know, with popularity comes a lot of attention and especially attention from digital threats. Some of the fastest growing online retailers are using Magento as the go-to platform. Names like Alex and Ani, Warby Parker or established companies such as Christian Loubutin or Olympus have been subjected to this threat.
It's not the first time either. This example from HackerNews shows how attackers advertised compromised shops in order to gather credit card information.
Long story short – if you are running one of the popular open-source ecommerce platforms (think Magento, Prestashop, OS commerce) – be on the lookout for security threats.
Home Depot, the largest home improvement retailer, has announced that 56 million credit card numbers have been compromised. In what is now known to be the biggest security breach in corporate history, Home Depot has been the target of an attack that lasted from April to September 2014.
Home Depot managed to beat the previous record, held by Target with 40 million compromised credit cards. As a result of Target's security breach, the company laid off its CIO. Chairman, President and CEO Gregg Steinhafel then announced his resignation as a result of the security breach and previous unfortunate events, like losing $941 millions in a failed Canadian expansion.
September 2nd: the same man that announced Target's breach, Brian Krebs, announces a new security breach. This time on Home Depot. The same day, Home Depot starts digging through its POS systems and on the September 8th announces that indeed, a breach has happened.
Krebs reports that the same group of Russian and Ukrainian hackers that managed to steal Target's data were responsible for the hack. The same day a new batch of credit cards shows up online. The batch's code name: European Sanctions.
16 days later, Home Depot announced that it managed to clear all infected systems and has "has completed a major payment security project that provides enhanced encryption of payment data at point of sale".
The company worked with security firms, banking partners and the Secret Service to find out as much as possible about the breach. Results show that hackers used custom built, never before seen malware. This was not the work of some isolated hackers group, acting on its own. A very well organized attack has been put in motion.
Home Depot has worked with banks to provide customer support to those in need. A small local bank, Dollar Bank, as well as larger banks such as JP Morgan Chase and Capital One, have started replacing credit cards.
Although Home Depot has not been hit by the market just as heavily as Target, one can still feel the tension looming over the retailer's security actions. Consumers are more careful in how they use their credit cards and banks have jumped on board the Apple Pay system, which promises better security.
The fact that the same group of hackers seem to have been involved in attacking Target, as well as Home Depot points to a maybe. But then you have the Secret Service involved. You have an ex-Homeland Security contractor acting as CIO with Target. You have the FBI investigating whether Russia is behind the recent JP Morgan Chase cyber attack.
But most of all – you have Edward Snowden, defected to Russia with a few gigs of classified information on US cyber intelligence actions. Some of those actions may have included packing backdoors and security flaws into US digital infrastructure. Too bad.
Yes, there there probably is a cyber war going on and the US and Europe are extremely exposed. Retailers should pay a lot more attention to their security backbones and check each potential backdoor, should they not want to suffer the same unfortunate events Home Depot, Target and others have faced.
In what could be the biggest security breach in history, Ebay may have lost personal data for 233 million accounts. Long story short – hackers got access to employees' corporate network credentials, probably by phishing. They than accessed and extracted user data saved on Ebay databases, including addresses, date of birth, usernames, emails and passwords, which Ebay officials mentioned were encrypted. There is yet no report of hackers stealing credit card info from PayPal (an Ebay subsidiary).
Ebay was "quick" to notify its users on the breach – it only took them three months to discover and communicate what could now be the largest cyber-attack on an American company.
One can only notice the similarities between this breach and the one that previously put Target CEO out of job. In the previous biggest cyber-attack on an American company, Target lost personal data for more than 110 million of its customers, some of which included credit card info.
In the aftermath the company was heavily investigated by law enforcement as well as the secret service. The company hired a new CIO following the security breach, Bob DeRhodes, a former security analyst for the US Department of Homeland Security, US Department of Justice and the US Secretary of Defense.
The fact that Target customers' credit card info later showed up on Russian underground forums, as well as involvement from national security specialists, points to something closer to cyber warfare than your everyday phishing.
The shady practices employed by the NSA to gather intel have probably left the Internet a less secure place. If it weren't for Heartbleed, a vulnerability the agency has allegedly kept secret, or other backdoors, tracked and harnessed in the interest of "national security" – probably Ebay wouldn't report losing more than 200 million accounts today.
Now I'm not saying that some groups left american tech companies with heavy security gaps. And I'm not saying that some former agent / analyst of theirs is halfway across the globe in a country known for its history of espionage and overall unfriendliness toward US. But probably someone should say it.
Last year american retailer Target was the victim of a security breach. The hack compromised personal data for over 110 million customers. What is now known to be one of the biggest security breach in corporate history has not left the company unscathed.
On December 13th, 2013, Target executives meet with the US Justice Department. The reason: discussing a hack that exposed credit and debit card data for over 40 million customers. On December 18th security analyst Brian Krebs breaks the news. The Secret Service is involved and Target gets investigated.
On Dec. 27, 2013 word's out that PIN numbers for the stolen cards were accessed. Target acknowledges PIN's were accessed but says they were not decrypted. Meanwhile Russian forums get flooded with millions of credit cards.
And then it gets worse: Target declares an additional 70 million customers were affected by the security breach. The company reveals poor Holiday sales. Lays off 475 employees and reports costs associated with the data loss topping $200 million.
Fortunately, employees get to wear jeans and polo shirts.
The breach left Target in a disastrous situation as profits dropped 46% in the last quarter (-$440 million), compared to the year before.
After the blast, some heads were sure to fall. First was CIO Beth Jacob, the obvious … target. To show it means business, the company brought Bob DeRodes on board, as new CIO and executive VP. DeRodes, 63, started on May 5th and now oversees the adoption of secure technology, with the help of $100 million worth of tech investments.
The new CIO is a tech security veteran, his previous endeavors including being a senior IT advisor for some organizations you might have heard of: the US Department of Homeland Security, US Department of Justice and the US Secretary of Defense.
But that was not enough. Chairman, President and CEO Gregg Steinhafel announced his resignation. The breach left both Steinhafel and the company in a vulnerable position.
The company announced the parts have reached a settlement that will probably allow the ex-CEO to walk out with over $11.7 million salary and incentive pay. Not bad for a CEO leaving a company that lost $941 million in its Canadian 2013 expansion, is under heavy fire from Amazon and Walmart and was just exposed to the biggest card robbery in history.
But than again, the man did work for Target for the past 35 years.

Nutrition jargon can get incredibly confusing if you don't have a lot of time to spend on background research – and the hotter a topic is, the more jargon it typically has. To help you figure it all out, here's a quick look at some of the carb-related terms you'll see thrown around: what they mean, where they come from, and whether or not you even need to worry about them at all.
Simple vs. Complex Carbs
"Complex carbs" are the Food Pyramid's answer to everything. Diabetes? Complex carbs! Heart disease? Complex carbs! Complex carbs! Weight loss? Complex carbs! But are they really all they've cracked up to be?
Here's the background: all carbohydrates break down into simple sugar molecules. Fructose and glucose are two examples of simple sugar molecules. Simple carbs, also called sugars, are made of one or two simple sugar molecules stuck together. An example of a simple carb is table sugar. Complex carbohydrates are made of three or more stuck together. An example of a complex carb is dietary fiber.
That's the scientific definition. Most whole foods contain both types of carbohydrates, in varying ratios. But in everyday language, people refer to foods as though any given food was either "simple" or "complex" with no in between. And they simplify these technical terms to the point where they lose all meaning – "simple" just becomes a way to say "bad," and "complex" becomes a way to say "good."
Some nutritionists refer to anything with nutrients attached as "complex carbohydrates" and anything without nutrients attached as "simple carbohydrates."
Others call it a "simple carb" if the food contains no fiber, and a "complex carb" if it does – even though fiber is just one type of complex carbohydrate.
Others claim that simple carbs are the carbs that raise your blood sugar, but this is silly: fructose is as simple as carbs can get, and it raises blood sugar a lot less than many complex carbs.
Others simply equate "complex carbohydrate" with "whole grains" without any rationale at all.
Basically, the simple vs. complex distinction has become a way of advertising whatever kind of carbs someone thinks are healthier than others, with no scientific rhyme or reason behind it. And since it's all based in conventional wisdom, it's not useful at all from a Paleo standpoint. For one thing, it doesn't tell you anything about whether the food contains any antinutrients or gut irritants at all. Just ignore it; it's not worth your worry.
Glycemic Index vs. Glycemic Load
Time to move on to a closely related topic, the glycemic index/glycemic load confusion. Here's the difference:
Glycemic index (GI): a measure of how much the carbohydrates in a given food spike your blood sugar compared to the same amount of carbohydrates from other foods.
Glycemic load (GL): a measure of how much a typical serving of a given food spikes your blood sugar compared to a typical serving (which may or may not be the same amount) of other foods.
For example, to compare the glycemic index of honey and broccoli, you'd take 50 grams of carbohydrates from each and compare them. To compare the glycemic load of the two foods, you'd take a serving of broccoli (about a cup) and a serving of honey (about a tablespoon) and compare them.
The maximum GI is 100 (that's pure glucose). Most fruits and vegetables have a very low GI; bananas and most dried fruits have a medium GI, and white bread, processed grains, and similar foods have a high GI. GL measurements use a similar scale; they're basically just weighted GI measurements. Most foods with a low GI also have a low GL (although there are a few exceptions).
On the face of it, this sounds like a very useful measurement. Who wouldn't want to pick the carbohydrates that cause the smallest spikes in blood sugar? That's just logical. But it has some big problems:
The glycemic index/load measurements test the food in isolation, even though the actual effect on blood sugar depends on what you eat the food with. People rarely eat just a random tablespoon of honey by itself; they usually eat it baked into a recipe, or drizzled on ice cream. It's the GI/GL of the meal that counts, but you can't tell that just from looking at one ingredient.
Fructose, which has a very low GI of around 19, is bad for you in other ways. So don't take a low GI as a measure of overall healthiness.
Also, like the simple/complex distinction, the glycemic index tells you nothing about whether a food comes packaged with things you don't want to eat. For example, most beans have a very low GI, but that doesn't make them healthy.
The upshot: knowing the Glycemic Index or Glycemic Load of a starchy food is interesting, but it tells you just one thing about its potential health qualities. It doesn't touch on many other important aspects of the food, like fructose content. And if you're eating the starchy food in the context of a complete meal, the glycemic index is almost irrelevant. So basing an entire diet off of just this one measurement (yes, there actually is a Glycemic Index Diet!) is silly.
How do Paleo Carbs Stack Up?
By now you know that both the simple/complex distinction and the GI/GL number have some serious limitations. But just for your information, here's how the "safe starches" of the Paleo world stack up (data from here):
Simple or complex? (Biologically)
Glycemic Index (1-100 scale)
Glycemic Load (1-60 scale)
High (but lower than white potatoes)
Pumpkin/winter squash
White rice
There aren't any precise numbers in this chart because the exact score depends on how you cook the food (e.g. boiled vs. baked potatoes).
Remember: this is not a chart telling you how "healthy" these foods are. Sweet potatoes have a slightly lower GI than white because they have more fructose. If you're sensitive to fructose, that might be worse than the higher GI. And pumpkin has a remarkably low GL because it's just not very calorie-dense: in a typical serving of winter squash, you're not getting many carbs. If you need some carb calories, that might not be an advantage.
What Does it All Mean?
Unfortunately, the big takeaway here is that there are no easy answers. Life would be so simple if we could just look at one number and decide whether a food is good or bad for us! But that's not the way it works, and oversimplifying a complicated problem won't do you any good.
So if considering the glycemic index as one piece of information among many helps you make food choices that work for you, go for it! We have the tool; we might as well use it. But the distinction between simple and complex carbs is not very helpful to most people, and there are so many health considerations that aren't covered just by these simplistic numbers. Use them for what they're worth, but don't overestimate them.

Mary Pat Hyland is an award-winning, former newspaper journalist who writes novels and short stories set in upstate New York. In July 2013 she published her latest novel, a family saga called "The House With the Wraparound Porch." Her other works include the chicklit Maeve Kenny series: "The Cyber Miracles"; "A Sudden Gift of Fate"; and "A Wisdom of Owls". She has also written "3/17", a St. Patrick's Day riff on Dante's "Inferno" and a Sept. 11-inspired suspense novel, "The Terminal Diner". Her work is inspired by authors such as Eudora Welty, Anne Tyler, John Irving, Maeve Binchy, Frank McCourt and Flannery O'Connor and influenced by her Irish-American heritage. Hyland's interests include Finger Lakes wines, the Irish language, gardening and cooking.
Review by:
Lindsay Edmunds
on Aug. 30, 2011 :
The Terminal Diner has a small town setting that feels real and a likable main character, Elaina, whose dull life is stirred up in the wake of 9/11 (the shock and mourning of the town residents are beautifully and believably described by Hyland). Elaina makes an impulsive leap -- which does change her life, but not in the way she thought it would.
Elaina bakes great pie. This talent turns out to be as important as her mother said it was before her mother ran off with a trucker from Missoula, Montana.
The novel also contains a couple of mysteries, only one of which is solved. But the unsolved one is even more satisfying than the one that is eventually explained.
The Terminal Diner delivers reading pleasure and leaves you feeling hopeful. A winner.

Elaina's mother left when she was sixteen. Her only advice - "Men like pies." So Elaina has spent the past twelve years working in the family diner making the best pies in the state. Her sister has a life, her friends have a life, but her life is the diner and making pies that men love. Then 9-11 happens and her life (and the lives of many others) will never be the same.
For some reason I started reading this book expecting a murder mystery. There is murder and a bit of mystery, but I would classify this as more of a romance than a murder mystery. The story centers around a group of people and a diner located close to the airport (hence the name of the diner).
I'll be honest, for the first several chapters of this book I was very bored. I know that the author had to lay some groundwork for the story to make sense, but the story just plodded along. Then, all of the sudden, it picked up and I couldn't put the book down. There were a couple of characters that could have been developed a bit more to help with the story line, but for the most part I enjoyed the book once I made it past those first few chapters. I will definitely be checking out her other books.
I received this book free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion.

As soon as I got the book put onto my Kobo and started reading, I couldn't put the book down! I was completely drawn into the story. I love the characters, they're very well developed and I can relate to them easily. Their reactions to situations are believable, I've found some authors whose characters are too ready to accept weird things happening, but I never saw that in The Terminal Diner. Having grown up in the area where the story takes place makes this book have a deeper meaning to me. I know the places she describes well, especially the airport having just come home from Florida two days ago. Seeing the name of the area where I've grown was thoroughly exciting and added an extra sense of attachment to the story. Mary Pat Hyland is an AMAZING writer, her characters come alive and interact well with each other. If you want to read a book, I would highly recommend this one.
