text: Roll the dice.... I supposedly have $25 sitting in an "Advance Payment Account", that they say will automatically pay my January payment. It doesn't show up on line, it came from a CC payment I made when I switched to the $25 plan. I only show a $1.45 balance, but they say my next payment will be paid from this mysterious Advance account... I'm waiting for January to see what happens. Supposedly you can deposit as much as you like and bills are paid automatically... just not sure where the funds go... they don't always show up in your balance. I plan on adding a $25 TU card mid January if all goes well.

Brian Cashman breaks ankle skydiving
Trying to drum up publicity for the Wounded Warrior Project, Brian Cashman jumped out of an airplane twice Monday. Cashman, the New York Yankees' GM, came away from his first skydiving experience wounded himself.
After the first jump went great out of Homestead Air Force Base in South Florida — Cashman told the New York Daily News it was "an incredible experience" — he jumped again from about 12,500 feet. Cashman confirmed to the Daily News that his right ankle is broken and he will need surgery.
[Related: Curtis Granderson fractures right forearm, out 10 weeks]
John Harper of the Daily News wrote on Twitter that Cashman said, "I heard a pop in my ankle," and that a fire rescue truck arrived within 10 minutes of Cashman landing. And then:
People who attended to cashman say they're pretty sure his ankle is broken. They say bone was sticking out. Took him to hospital.
— John Harper (@NYDNHarper) March 4, 2013
Ouch, compound fracture, ouch! Now Cashman knows, approximately, how Joba Chamberlain felt after breaking his ankle while trampolining. These Yankees, they have an adventurous thirst that baseball alone cannot quench.
So, is jumping from an airplane something an important man like the GM of the New York Yankees should be doing? Of course he should. Here's Cashman explaining, via the Daily News:
"It's an opportunity to do something that a lot of people don't do or will ever do, so that's awesome," Cashman said before the jump. "It's called living. But it's not like on my list of something I've always wanted to do. I'm kind of excited for the opportunity to do it but at the same time, big-time nervous about doing it."
Yankees brass, players and fans probably had a few collective butterflies, too. But there's more to life than scanning the waiver wire, writing checks for free agents and making cursed trades with Jack Zduriencik. And Cashman still will be able to do all of those things once doctors have fixed his ankle. Maybe even during.
Cashman has a famous adventurous side, which includes yearly rappelling from a tall building while dressed as one of Santa's elves. This is the first time when something went wrong.
[Baseball 2013 from Yahoo! Fantasy Sports: Join a league today!]
In case you're wondering: Cashman came in ranked No. 4 on the Sexiest GM's list. Jumping out of the plane helped his rating, but breaking his ankle lowered it. It's a wash.
Rather than getting lathered up over this, here's what we could do: Donate to the Wounded Warriors Project. They raise awareness of the needs of "veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound, co-incident to their military service on or after Sept. 11, 2001."
Here's what they want to accomplish in 2013:
• Closing gaps and eliminating barriers to improved mental health of warriors and their families and caregivers;
• Fostering the economic empowerment of Wounded Warriors through policy initiatives to eliminate educational and employment barriers;
• Helping ensure access to optimal, long-term rehabilitative care for severely Wounded Warriors, and needed support for their caregivers;
• Improving the effectiveness of government programs that were established to help Wounded Warriors and their families' transition from active duty to successful community reintegration.

Lithium prices have gone up over 200%
AMLM.OB is our pick to grow with
We have been out there looking for a Lithium pick for quite some time now. Lithium prices have gone up over 200% in the last 5 years and that's just the beginning. Day to day more products are made using lithium, did you know that 90% of all laptops and 60% of all cell phones run on lithium batteries. Also roughly 1 million new hybrid and electric cars use lithium batteries. And that number is growing fast!
Why American Lithium Minerals
American Lithium Minerals, Inc AMLM mines lithium – a rare earth metal that powers everything from electric car batteries to the iPad!
In June, AMLM announced that Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) agreed to invest $4 million in the Company's Borate Hills Project.
More recently, AMLM announced the start of a 10,000 foot drill program at its Borate Hills Project in Nevada. AMLM's Borate Hills Project is a large co-product lithium and boron deposit located 20 miles west of the only producing lithium mine in North America.
AMLM's drill program was developed based on mapping, sampling and a trenching program completed on the project in October. According to a report from AMLM, samples ranged as high as 3000 ppm lithium (0.3%), and "average results of the sampling program are encouraging."
In addition to the Borate Hills Project, AMLM is actively exploring 10 "highly prospective projects in Nevada and Utah."
Although the Company has not issued news in a couple of weeks,
This puts AMLM up 21.25% from its recent low of $0.40, and 70% off its 52-week high of $1.79.
Based on today's spike in volume, and an increasing buzz around this stock, we believe AMLM could continue its uptrend.
Lithium Market
With an anticipated boom in the manufacturing of hybrid-electric and electric cars, the demand for lithium carbonate is expected to increase 400% over the next decade. This anticipation has been largely attributed to manufactures like GM, Ford, Toyota, Dodge, Chrysler, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Tesla, Saturn and Mercedes-Benz announcing their plans to build lithium-ion powered cars.
Bullish estimates suggest lithium demand specifically for vehicles is expected to increase 500% in the next couple of years.
Outside of its use in green vehicles, lithium is also used in specialty glass, lubricants, pharmaceuticals and lithium alloys. In fact, there's a pretty good chance each of us is already using lithium in our daily lives, as lithium is also used in 60% of cell phones and 90% of laptop computers.
Taking that into consideration, it may come as no surprise that the worldwide market for lithium batteries is estimated at more than $4 billion annually—and that's just the market for batteries.
According to the USGA, demand for lithium destined for battery usage

McQuerey History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Hebrides islands and the west coast of Scotland are the ancestral home of the McQuerey family. Their name comes from Guaire, an old Gaelic personal name meaning noble or proud.
Early Origins of the McQuerey family
Ulva, where they were originally a branch of the 'Siol Alpin,' the descendants of Kenneth Mac Alpin, founder and first king of Scotland during the 9th century.
Early History of the McQuerey family
Another 321 words (23 lines of text) covering the years 1630, 1778, 1818, 103. and 103. are included under the topic Early McQuerey History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
McQuerey Spelling Variations
spelling variations. McQuerey has been written as MacQuarrie, MacQuarie, MacQuarry, McQuarrie, McQuarry, MacQuerry, MacCorrie, MacCorry, MacQuarrey, MacWharrie and many more.
Early Notables of the McQuerey family (pre 1700)
PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the McQuerey family to Ireland
Some of the McQuerey family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.
Another 107 words (8 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the McQuerey family to the New World and Oceana
Many of the ancestors of Dalriadan families who arrived in North America still live in communities along the east coast of Canada and the United States. In the American War of Independence many of the original settlers traveled north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries the ancestors of many Scots began recovering their collective national heritage through Clan societies, highland games, and other patriotic events. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name McQuerey or a variant listed above: Anne McGuary, who arrived in New York in 1740; Donald Macquarrie, a "prisoners of the '45 rising," who was on record in Barbados or Jamaica in 1745.
The McQuerey Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Turris fortis meus mihi Deus
Motto Translation: To me God is my strong tower

The powerful weight loss effects of pure Garcinia Cambogia are undeniable. In fact, there's numerous clinical studies that prove just how effective Garcinia Cambogia extracts are. But with such impressive results, there must be side effects, right? Maybe not…
Is Garcinia Cambogia Extract Safe?
This is the first thought going through our minds when we hear about an over-the-top product. The same thing popped into my mind when I saw pure Garcinia Cambogia the first time. I believe that Dr. Oz was the person who brought this dietary supplement in front of the nation's eyes.
He said that this extract, all the way from Asia, can help you lose weight fast. It originates from South East Asia, more precisely from Cambogia.
Some people say that is not healthy to drop too many pounds in a short amount of time. Well, I beg to differ. It really comes down to how much you have to lose. I've managed to drop 15 pounds in a week, but I was 231 pounds. If somebody who's just 150 pounds drops 15, then that can be dangerous.
I had no side effects whatsoever and I have never gained it back, either. Matter of fact I never felt better in my whole life. So everything is about perspective.
Now as you know, Garcinia was put through a clinical trial just before it hit the store shelves, and what can I say about that trial is: it passed.
The subjects managed to lose weight without any side effects.
Some would argue that 44 people is not a big enough spread. Well, their ages ranged from 20-65 and both sexes were represented.
In 12 weeks time they managed to reduce their body fat percentage and also lose pounds. In addition, the subjects did not partake in any fancy diet or start an extreme workout regime.
They just took 60% HCA content pure Garcinia Cambogia capsules.
Why there aren't any side effects associated with PURE Garcinia Cambogia:
- Because it's a pure product.
- It contains only natural ingredients.
- Tried and tested before it was released.
Make sure that you take your Garcinia Capsules with a full glass of water, and always take them a half-hour before you have a major meal. It is recommended that you take 3 capsules per day.
Just look at the garcinia testimonials and judge for yourself. Every day a truckload of new testimonials are coming in, supporting what the clinical studies already showed us:
These testimonials prove that it works. But what about the side effects? None of the subjects participating in the study reported any side effects. Pure Garcinia cambogia has been in circulation for many months now, and if there were any major side effects it would've been all over the news by now.
We know that Garcinia Cambogia works and it's not just hype. It somehow seems fitting when Dr. Oz said that it's the new miracle solution for weight loss. We all know that Dr. Oz is respected in his field and he doesn't present anything dodgy.
You can rest assured that this will work and it will help you to lose weight.
As a disclaimer, Dr. Oz didn't endorse any particular Garcinia products on his show, neither did he endorse Pure Garcinia Cambogia. Last but not least the results are not typical. Everybody is different so the effect is different as well.
Which Garcinia Cambogia is the Best for You and Why?
Not all Garcinia Cambogia Extracts Are Created Equally
Because Garcinia Cambogia is a natural product, it's easy to assume that what applies to one extract, must apply to them all. But this is not the case.
There are a lot of Garcinia Cambogia supplements that contain fillers and additives, used to either cut costs or attempt to enhance the already powerful effects. Be cautious of products such as these.
The truth of the matter is, using products with additives and fillers could result in some unknown side effects. And to make matters worse, many of these products don't contain the 60% HCA you need to get real results.
This is why we chose Pure Garcinia Cambogia – 100% Additive and Filler-Free with 60% HCA!

Imagine if you woke up tomorrow morning, and the price of gas down on Sunset had risen from $3.49 to over $7 bucks a gallon.
That's the kind of situation that Nigerians are now finding themselves in.
Last week, we learned that the government of the oil-rich African nation decided to put an end to fuel subsidies. And now Nigerians are fighting back: labor unions there have begun a national strike today.
In today's Mid-day Extra, we've brought in Marketplace's own senior foreign editor to give us some more details on the situation there. He says that for gas prices to double, especially in such an oil rich country, can have catastrophic results on everyday life for Nigerians -- and why we should care.

ENERGYMAX® Intersect Full Distribution Luminaire
Product Announcement from Columbia Lighting, Inc.
Luminaires that fill the room with controlled light are gaining in popularity. Most fixtures in this category use a lens to redistribute some of the light to the walls and soften the light directly below the fixture. Many specifiers search for full distribution but also desire work surface light levels in the range traditionally provided by parabolics. Columbia Lighting has the answer-the EnergyMax® Intersect® full distribution louvered luminaire.
The EnergyMax ® Intersect is a 2-lamp, energy efficient, louvered luminaire designed to provide full distribution and energy savings in a crisp new look. Intersect is a true louvered system that provides the same foot candles on the work surface as parabolics while at the same time redirecting more light on the walls to greatly reduce the cave effect produced by parabolics.
While traditional three-lamp parabolics use 85W of power, the EnergyMax® Intersect's savings occur without sacrificing light levels. EnergyMax® Intersect tuned system uses only 66W of power, reducing energy usage by 22%. The EnergyMax® Intersect® Plus luminaire offers a slightly lower light output, but with greater energy savings. By employing a 28W T8 lamp Intersect Plus uses only 55W of power for a 35% reduction in energy consumption.
EnergyMax® Intersect is available with an innovative step-dimming ballast to allow switching between 100% power and 50% power for energy conservation. Used in conjunction with photocells for daylight harvesting for peak demand management, or with occupancy sensors, step dimming allows effective control over power consumption without requiring switching off individual lamps as with conventional bi-level switching.
EnergyMax® Intersect Full Distribution Luminaire is one of four products developed by Columbia in an unprecedented lighting solutions initiative addressing energy conservation and opportunities to save money through EPAct 2005 and other tax incentives. These lighting solutions: EnergyMax® Parabolic, EnergyMax® Intersect® Luminaire, Versabay® High Bay and "ZPT" (Zero Plenum® Troffer) will create positive changes and represent a win-win-win for specifiers, electrical contractors, building owners and users alike.

Will Turkey Listen to LGBT Representatives?
Turkey has taken one small step forward for LGBT recognition with, for the very first time, a government minister meeting LGBT representatives.
The Pembe Hayat (Pink Life) Association were invited to a meeting with civil society organizations on Wednesday, September 21 to discuss violence against women with Minister of Family and Social Policy Fatma Şahin.
Belgin Çelik from Pembe Hayat told reporters following the meeting that she had submitted a proposal for the acceptance of homosexual, bisexual and transgender individuals in the new constitution that Parliament plans to draft in the coming legislative year.
Şahin encouraged the proposal, saying:
"We would like to actively work with you and your participation and suggestions will help us learn and acknowledge the problems you face."
Pro-gay Turkish MP Aylin Nazlıaka has asked for LGBT groups to be consulted over the new constitution.
Calling on members of Parliament to handle the proposal positively, Şahin said:
"If freedom and equality is for everybody, then sexual orientation discrimination should be eliminated and rights of these [LGBT] citizens should be recognized."
However, Turkish MPs may face a problem reading any proposals. A report last week said that web access in the Turkish Parliament to the websites of various LGBT organizations is blocked and workers or MPs have to submit a written request for them to be unblocked.
Blocking of LGBT and other online content is widespread in Turkey. In May, there was a huge protest against the internet filtering system.
According to a representative of Lambdadaİstanbul.
"BTK (The Information Technologies and Communication Authority) has determined some banned words from domain names. 'Gay' and 'lesbian' are on this list. Pembe Hayat (Pink Life) Association, an LGBT organization in Ankara, has been warned by their web hosting company saying their website might be shut down. There is no pornographic content whatsoever on Pembe Hayat's website but they have been warned just because they use those words."
In June, Amnesty International published 'Not an illness nor a crime: Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in Turkey demand equality.' It said:
"Not a single provision has been brought before Parliament to protect the right to non-discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Instead, there has been a long line of discriminatory statements by government officials from which the government has failed to distance itself or issue apologies for."

Arts, Briefly; 'Shield' Ratings Slip
By KATE AURTHUR; Compiled by Steven McElroy
Published: March 27, 2006
On the season finale of ''The Shield'' on Tuesday, a tearful and apologetic Shane (Walton Goggins) murdered Lem (Kenneth Johnson), his friend and fellow police detective, to prevent Lem from revealing the corrupt deeds their team had perpetrated. In Nielsen's estimates, the FX series attracted 3.2 million viewers. During its fifth season, ''The Shield'' drew an average audience of 2.8 million, down from the year before, when Glenn Close's season as a police captain lifted the show's ratings to an average 3.2 million. Elsewhere on cable, for the week ending March 19, USA Network ranked No. 1 in prime time in total viewers and adults 18 to 49, as it often has since the channel brought wrestling to its schedule. Its ''Monk'' (5.4 million) and two hours of ''WWE Monday Night Raw'' (5.3 million and 5.2 million) were the three most-watched programs of the week on basic cable. KATE AURTHUR

Autotools and Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor [PDF 462KB]
One of the strengths of the Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessor is the ability to build existing software to run on the Intel® Many Integrated Core (Intel® MIC) hardware with a minimum of change (in most cases, no changes to the code itself are necessary). The same cannot always be said, however, for the build systems used to compile existing software packages.
For software built with nothing more complicated than Makefiles (or even just invoking the Intel® Composer XE compiler directly), the necessary build change is often as simple as adding
–mmic to the set of compiler and link flags.1 When the build scripts are generated via GNU Autotools (automake/autoconf), SCons or Kitware CMake, however, life becomes more interesting.
In this article we will discuss the mechanics of building existing software packages with GNU Autotools. As using CMake to build software for Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor is already handled in an existing article, we will not discuss it further here. Similarly, in this article we will not discuss using SCons to build software for the Xeon Phi coprocessor.
Autotools for embedded systems
When it comes to considering an autotools-based package port to the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor, the simplest way to view the coprocessor is as an embedded system. Embedded target systems typically run different hardware than the host build platform, and this prevents the possibility of running code built for the target, on the host platform.
This becomes a potential issue for autotools-based builds, as many build setups may attempt to build and run automatically-generated code snippets on the host build platform, and this obviously won't work when the code is built for a different hardware architecture. Autotools is not ignorant of this need – in fact, the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) uses autotools for its build system and GCC is often cross-compiled for target architectures different than that of the build platform.
To this end, autotools supports cross-compilation directly. The most visible result of using the cross-compile flags with autotools builds is suppression of any attempt to invoke code built for the target, on the host system.
Since the best teacher is often an example, let's start with one. In order to follow along at home, you will need
- A working copy of Intel® Composer XE 2013 or newer (for Linux x86_64)
- A Linux installation of Intel® Manycore Platform Software Stack (MPSS)
- A version of Linux supported by the Intel® MPSS (which, at the time of this writing, means 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x (although equivalent versions of CentOS 6.x have been known to work as well). This example is specific to RedHat Enterprise Linux, but similar steps can be applied to other distributions supported by the Intel® MPSS.
- Standard software-development packages shipped with RHEL6/CentOS6:
Note that although the version of GCC shipped with Intel® MPSS can build software to run on the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor, it cannot produce optimized code that takes advantage of the hardware vector units, and is generally used instead to build custom Linux kernels from the source provided with the MPSS distribution. Although it is possible to build this GCC to run on the coprocessor hardware itself, code built in this manner still will not take full advantage of the hardware. For this reason, in this article we will consider only software packages cross-compiled on the host using the Intel® Composer XE 2013 or newer compiler suites.
e2fsprogs is a suite of tools and libraries intended for use with the EXT2/3/4 Linux filesystems. I have needed to build e2fsprogs on more than one occasion, usually to satisfy a dependency on the
uuidgen() API call provided by one of the e2fsprogs libraries (
libuuid). I will start with e2fsprogs as the first example as it is a straightforward build, with no surprises or special considerations (and more importantly, no dependencies other than itself and a Linux system), and also provides command-line utilities that make for good tests and examples.
Preparing the build
The following steps assume you have already obtained a tarball of the e2fsprogs source code, and have placed it in a directory on a filesystem convenient for you. In this example, I have used a directory called
/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects on a host named
il028 for that purpose. After that, we need to source the Composer XE 2013
compilervars.csh script (or
compilervars.sh, for sh/bash shells) to add paths to the Composer XE 2013 tools and libraries to our shell environment:
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects] 68% source <path to Composer XE 2013>/bin/compilervars.csh intel64
and then unpack the tarball:
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects] 72% tar xvf e2fsprogs-1.42.8.tar.gz
In this example I want to show the difference between a normal host build, and a cross-compile for Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor, so I set up an out-of-source build directory to make this simpler to manage.
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/e2fsprogs-1.42.8] 73% mkdir -p build/xeon
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/e2fsprogs-1.42.8] 74% mkdir -p build/mic
Building for Intel® Xeon® and Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessor
Next, I configure and build for the host (a "normal" build, in other words):
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/e2fsprogs-1.42.8/build/xeon] 78% env CC=icc LD=icc ../../configure --prefix=/usr/pic1/gjunker/sysroot
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/e2fsprogs-1.42.8/build/xeon] 78% make -j12 install
In the above steps, I am instructing the configure script to use
icc as its C compiler (
CC variable) and also as its linker driver (
LD variable). I am also using a local, non-system directory as the install prefix to avoid permissions issues (or the need to run the install step as root), since this is just an example. The
–j12 flag allows the build to run up to 12 jobs in parallel (the build host is a dual-socket Xeon X5680). To make sure the build works, we run the
uuidgen command we just built, and observe the expected output:
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/e2fsprogs-1.42.8/build/xeon] 79% /usr/pic1/gjunker/sysroot/bin/uuidgen
Next we repeat the same, but for the coprocessor build, and from inside the coprocessor out-of-source build tree:
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/e2fsprogs-1.42.8/build/mic] 82% env CC=icc LD=icc CFLAGS=-mmic LDFLAGS=-mmic ../../configure --prefix=/usr/pic1/gjunker/microot --host=x86_64-k1om-linux
Note the addition of the
–mmic flag to the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS variables; this is how you tell an autotools build with icc that it should build and link for the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. This is separate from the other important extra argument in this step:
--host. By providing this argument, we are telling the configure script that we are doing a cross-compilation, and it should not try to run anything it builds as part of the build process. Note that you can provide virtually any value for this argument; in this case I am providing a "triple" that uses the coprocessor
k1om architecture type, but you could even use the same triple as the build host if you like – it is the presence of the
--host argument that is important.
Next we perform the build, installation, and try to run one of the resultant executables:
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/e2fsprogs-1.42.8/build/mic] 83% make -j16 install
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/e2fsprogs-1.42.8/build/mic] 84% /usr/pic1/gjunker/microot/bin/uuidgen
/usr/pic1/gjunker/microot/bin/uuidgen: Exec format error. Wrong Architecture.
What went wrong here? The problem is that we tried to run the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor executable on the host Intel® Xeon® platform, and the OS properly informed us that was not possible. We need instead to run the executable on the coprocessor, so let's copy the executable up to the card and run it there:
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/e2fsprogs-1.42.8/build/mic] 85% scp /usr/pic1/gjunker/microot/bin/uuidgen mic0:/tmp uuidgen 100% 54KB 53.5KB/s 00:00
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/e2fsprogs-1.42.8/build/mic] 86% ssh mic0 /tmp/uuidgen f30b4546-781d-4309-9dd5-be1689c59d45
This exercise also serves to illustrate another limitation of cross-compiling (one also not unique to building for the coprocessor): it is not possible (or at least not easily possible) to run the self-tests (i.e.
make test,
make check, etc.) that many open-source software packages provide, when cross-compiling for the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. One needs either to forego the tests, or run them manually on the device.
Another common dependency for many open-source projects is zlib. This package is readily available by default in virtually every Linux distribution in existence, but if you need it for the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor you typically need to build it yourself. However, there is a catch – while zlib uses a script called "configure" to set up its build, it is not an Autotools configure script. That said, building zlib for Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor is not much different than building e2fsprogs was; in fact, since this is not an autotools script, we do not need to provide the
--host flag.
First we unpack the archive (note that zlib does not support out-of-source builds, so it's a bit more hassle to build for both Xeon and the Xeon Phi coprocessor.)
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects] 141% tar xf zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects] 142% cd zlib-1.2.8/
We supply the same
CC and
LD values we did for e2fsprogs, and perform the build and install:
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/zlib-1.2.8] 143% env CC=icc LD=icc ./configure --prefix=/usr/pic1/gjunker/sysroot --64
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/zlib-1.2.8] 144% make -j16
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/zlib-1.2.8] 145% make install
A simple test is to use the built
minigzip64 app to compress an arbitrary file, and verify that the result is what we expect:
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/zlib-1.2.8] 146% ./minigzip64 /tmp/myapp.log
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/zlib-1.2.8] 147% file /tmp/myapp.log.gz
/tmp/myapp.log.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix
Next we repeat for the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. Similar to the e2fsprogs device build, we add
–mmic to the
CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS variables. We also added the
--static flag to avoid having to copy
libz.so to the card for testing (
--static will ensure that the built zlib applications are statically linked). After building and verifying that the executable cannot be run on the host system, we copy the executable and a test file to the card and verify expected results.
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/zlib-1.2.8-mic] 156% env CC=icc CFLAGS=-mmic LD=icc LDFLAGS=-mmic ./configure --static --prefix=/usr/pic1/gjunker/microot --64
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/zlib-1.2.8-mic] 157% make -j16
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/zlib-1.2.8-mic] 158% make install
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/zlib-1.2.8-mic] 159% ./minigzip64
./minigzip64: Exec format error. Wrong Architecture.
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/zlib-1.2.8-mic] 160% scp /tmp/myapp.log mic0:/tmp
myapp.log 100% 217 0.2KB/s 00:00
il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/zlib-1.2.8-mic] 161% scp minigzip64 mic0:/tmp

il028 [/usr/pic1/gjunker/projects/zlib-1.2.8-mic] 162% ssh mic0 /tmp/minigzip64 /tmp/myapp.log
In this article, we have demonstrated that building open-source software packages for the Xeon Phi coprocessor is really no different than building for any embedded system, and if the reader considers a coprocessor as such, much potential confusion surrounding software builds for the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor can be eliminated. Happy building!

Experts said the oil shortage could cause prices at the pump this summer to rise to $1.50 per gallon in the Northeast and $2 or more in California. It may also add a few pennies to the cost of basic grocery items, from soup to nuts.
Such price increases may be needed to cover higher transportation costs, the result of skyrocketing diesel-fuel prices.
The recent oil crisis has already pinched the pocketbooks of many consumers this winter and likely will continue to do so over the coming months.
So far, the shortage has sent heating-oil prices soaring to nine-year highs and has forced some people to scramble for fuel or go without.
``The modern economy is fueled by oil,'' said Brian O'Connor, spokesman for Citizens Energy Corp., a Boston nonprofit organization.
Following are some questions and answers about the recent oil crisis and its trickle-down effects:
Question: Why is there an oil shortage and how does it affect fuel prices?
Answer: Experts say it's the supply-and-demand equation at work. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, with the agreement of several key oil-producing non-OPEC nations, began cutting its production of crude oil, the basis for a host of fuels, in order to stimulate prices, which had hovered at unsustainably low levels. OPEC succeeded: Reducing supply drove up prices dramatically.
Last week, crude oil topped $30 a barrel, the highest level since the Persian Gulf war. And higher crude-oil prices push up the cost of producing heating oil, for instance.
Q. Are there any other factors involved in creating such high heating-oil prices?
A. Yes. Aaron Brady, an analyst at Energy Security Analysis Inc. in Boston, explained the domino effect on heating-oil prices this way:
``The reason why prices spiked so much was because inventories of heating oil were so low. The reason that inventories were so low was because refining margins have been pretty low for the past year, so refineries have not been running at high rates. The margins were low because of a period of oversupply before this year. Then OPEC cut back on crude-oil supplies, forcing prices of crude to very high levels.''
And the recent cold snap throughout the Northeast caught many heating-oil retailers by surprise. Because the previous three winters had been relatively mild, most retailers had not stocked enough supply.
Q. How much have area heating-oil prices gone up?
A. In Pennsylvania, the average price of a gallon of heating oil jumped 44 percent from $1.10 to $1.59 between the weeks of Jan. 17 and Jan. 24, according to U.S. Energy Department statistics.
During the same time period, heating-oil prices in New Jersey rose 42 percent, from $1.21 to $1.72.
During the week of Feb. 7, the Energy Department's most recent recorded week, the average price of heating oil reached $1.82 a gallon in Pennsylvania and $2.01 in New Jersey.
Q. Can I get financial assistance to pay my heating-oil bill?
A. Yes, if you are a low-income resident you may qualify for a grant from the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. For example, a family of four with an annual income of $18,370 can qualify for financial assistance.
The deadline to apply for a grant is Feb. 29. To obtain an application, contact your county's Department of Public Welfare.
Q. What about diesel-fuel prices, and why should I care about them?
A. In the mid-Atlantic states, diesel prices rose about 30 cents a gallon, from $1.39 to $1.69, between the weeks of Jan. 17 and Jan. 24. The week of Feb. 7, diesel fuel reached nearly $2 a gallon. Last Monday, the price drifted down to $1.81.
Analysts say high diesel prices may raise the price of consumer products down the road. This is because the nation's truckers use diesel fuel to transport everything from bread to high-definition TVs.
Some trucking companies have passed along diesel increases to product manufacturers, which, in turn, may increase the prices of their goods to wholesalers and retailers.
``When crude oil goes up, everything from gasoline to Vaseline gets more expensive,'' said O'Connor of Citizens Energy.
But Acme Markets Inc. said it does not expect dramatically higher prices on food in the coming months.
``A lot of the contracts for merchandise we buy are placed many months in advance,'' said spokesman Walt Rubel. ``So the impact will be minimal, if any. ... I wouldn't even say grocery products will be a few cents higher.''
Rubel said the cost of transportation is just one of many that determine the retail price of products. He noted that storage and utility costs, for example, are other factors in the equation.
Q. What items will become more expensive, and when?
A. No one knows yet.
Q. Why are gasoline prices expected to reach $1.50 per gallon this summer?
A. As of Feb. 14, the average price for a gallon of regular leaded gasoline was $1.36 - just a few hundredths of a cent higher than it was a month ago, U.S. Department of Energy statistics showed.
Analyst Brady said gasoline inventories are low right now because of OPEC's production cutback. On March 27, OPEC is scheduled to decide whether or not its members should produce more crude oil.
Q. Why have prices for heating oil and diesel fuel risen so dramatically since mid-January, whereas gasoline prices have been climbing slowly since last summer?
A. Analyst Brady said demand for heating oil is seasonal, whereas demand for gasoline is steady throughout the year.
The price of diesel, he said, has risen so much because the fuel comes from the same supply source as heating oil. Brady said the two fuels are virtually the same product, but heating oil contains more sulfur.
Q. Why do fuel prices shoot up quickly but take months to come back down?
A. Because fuel cannot be generated quickly enough to keep up with demand, Brady said. So it takes time for new supplies to get into the marketplace.
Q. What will bring fuel prices down?
A. A decision by OPEC to allow its members to produce more crude oil. ``It's not in (OPEC's) interest to have crude prices so high,'' Brady said. ``When you have oil prices this high ... it destroys demand, because people cut back in their purchasing. Between now and the end of March, there's not a whole lot that would bring (prices) back down.''

made with
1You're going to need a piece of wood to hang the jars on. Just about any board will do, so see what you have in your garage. I had these old shutters in the scrap pile, and it will save me from having to paint. If you don't have any wood on hand, you can buy it at a Home Improvement store. Or you can find them pre-cut at craft stores, like these boards from Michael's.
2If you're using raw wood, paint it using acrylic craft paint or spray paint. If you're using reclaimed wood, you can sand the edges for a distressed look. I found some blue and green paint under this shutter.
3You'll also need some Mason jars with lids. I'm using five pint-sized jars, but you may want to adjust that number to fit the length of your board. An odd number of jars looks best. I'm using some clear jars, as well as some blue jars I dyed myself. You can find instructions for staining jars in part 1 of my Upcycled Jar Series.
4You'll need to purchase one metal clamp for each jar. I bought these at Ace Hardware by the dryer supplies. They are adjustable, so they would fit pint or quart jars.
5Use a screwdriver to tighten the clamps so they are just large enough for you to slide the jar in and out. Use an electric drill to make a hole on the back center of the clamp.
6Drill a hole in the center of your board, then attach the clamp to the board with a screw. Add a jar and tighten the clamp snugly around it. Add the other jars in the same manner.
7I like the look of the jar ring, so I'm putting them back on my jars without the lid so that it's easy to get items in and out.
8Finally, add picture hanging hardware to the back of your board it can be hung on the wall. Now you can stay organized in shabby chic style!
Check out this tutorial for a Craft Supply Board for more organization inspiration!

Thomas McKay, stepson of Dr. John McLoughlin, and son of Alexander McKay and Margaruite Wadin, was probably the first settler of the area now known as Scotts Mills. In 1847 Thomas McKay built a saw mill on Butte Creek after which he built a grist mill, the latter being contracted by Lauren Lewis Thomas and Rice Dunbar.
Michael Nowlin obtained the mill site from the McKay estate and later sold it to his brother-in-law, Joshua Bowman, after which the mill property was sold to Robert Hall Scott in 1866. He improved the property and the enterprise was jointly conducted with his brother, Thomas Scott. Both of the Scotts were born in Banff's Mills, Roxburyshire, Scotland and left a heritage in Oregon by giving the name Scotts Mills to the little village on Butte Creek. According to Lewis A. McArthur, author of Oregon Geographic Names, the settlement was named in 1866.
The Scotts Mills-Marquam Cedar Pole Line System was organized as a telephone company in 1907 and provided a quick means of communication between the two towns.
The Scotts Mills Post Office, located in the "Bridge House" was established November 1, 1887; mail service before that date having been provided by the Butte Creek Post Office which had been established January 24, 1851.
The Oregon Land Development Company was incorporated in February, 1888, and purchased 2,107 acres of land in 1893 from Thomas Scott. Shortly thereafter, the company induced members of the Friends Church from several states to settle the town. The townsite of Scotts Mills was recorded May 16, 1893, provisions being made for electricity, tramways, water pipes, and many modern conveniences. In 1902 the Oregon Land Development Company declared bankruptcy which resulted in the loss of property to many buyers.
The town grew slowly and in 1916, with a population of 165 people, obtained a charter. Charles Scott, son of Robert Hall Scott, was the first mayor.
A second church, the Christian Church, was built in 1897 and is the present home of the Scotts Mills Area Historical Society. The Friends Church, built in 1894, is a landmark and is still used for services.
In 1905 the business district of Scotts Mills consisted of two large grocery and dry goods stores, a Post Office, blacksmith shop, tin shop and photograph gallery, flour and saw mill, prune drying shed, and a coffin factory. A hotel, "Shepherd House", built in 1894 by Shepherd Ong, later owned by Mr. and Mrs. John Kellis, provided room and board for weary travelers. In later years, the town supported a butcher shop, livery stable, barber shop, and a pool room.
The Maple Wood Cemetery, located across Butte Creek in Clackamas County, was donated by the Scott family and is the burial site of pioneers and newcomers of the Scotts Mills area.

I wasn't sure how I would like In My Hands. The segments I posted earlier looked promising, but I'd seen the rough cut of the documentary at the Boston NMF conference and hated it. I felt like the movie had no direction and was too negative, and I walked out of the viewing halfway through.
I am extremely pleased with the final version. It is the exact opposite of what I saw in the rough cut: cohesive and uplifting.
There are a couple nitpicky issues I have though. First, the word "disease" is used frequently throughout the documentary, but Marfan is not a disease: it's a disorder, a syndrome. I realize disorder and disease tend to be used interchangeably, but there is a slight difference and I'm rather pedantic on this issue.
Also, I felt like a lot of emphasis was put on the aortic root and monitoring that, but not much on the rest of the aorta. I don't think Ben's cardiologist even mentioned the rest of the aorta. Although aneurysms tend to develop in the root first, they can actually happen anywhere in the aorta at any time. It's vital that people with Marfan have yearly echoes of the ENTIRE aorta.
So other than those small things, I loved this documentary!
If you have Marfan syndrome, if someone you love has Marfan syndrome, or if you are curious about Marfan syndrome and want to learn more, WATCH THIS! In My Hands is able to address all three groups in a way that doesn't interrupt the flow of the various storylines.
The curious: Dr. Hal Dietz of Johns Hopkins is once again a superstar as he explains the syndrome in easy-to-understand terminology. Various, one-sentence facts also play across the screen before relevant sections. The infusion of Katie, Kami, John, Chris, and Ben's stories bring an understanding of Marfan that no article on marfan.org ever could.
The loved ones: This film will speak to "non-Marf" parents in particular. Ben's parents and Katie and Kami's mom don't shy away from discussing some of the familial strains that come with having differently-abled children. I love the mother who talked about her initial fears of letting her son out of her sight, but that now she can say "go on, get outta here!" I know (at least on one level) how scary the diagnosis is, but there is so much that we, Marfs, can do. Parents: this documentary will show kids living WELL with Marfan. It will show them dancing, doing martial arts, swimming, climbing a ropes course, playing music, and more. There's nothing more hopeful and beautiful than that.
The Marfs: So many times while watching this I would think "Exactly! They hit the nail on the head!" John described my thoughts on having a "Marf baby" perfectly. I could empathize with Katie and Kami because I was their age not so long ago and had the same feelings about myself. It can be easy to feel alone with this disorder, but this movie will remind you that you are not alone.
I advise screening this video as a family before showing it to friends and extended family members. Marfan is a life-threatening disorder, so the documentary is not all rainbows and sunshine, although it is ultimately extremely uplifting. I believe having a run through will help you anticipate questions that might come up, or "talking points" to discuss further with your audience.
In My Hands is masterful. It is moving. It may change you; I hope that it does. Bring tissues…lots of them. The last segment is breathtaking, and be sure to watch all the credits.
* Copies are available in limited supply through the National Marfan Foundation for eligible families. The order form can be found here and the cost is $25. If you have questions about your eligibility after reading the form, you can contact Jonathan Martin at email@example.com.
** I was not paid for this review, nor was I asked to do this review by the NMF. I paid for my copy of the documentary myself.

("defendant") seeking damages for injuries sustained by him when a metal hand railing on a stairway in the common area of defendant's apartment complex collapsed, causing him to fall. The trial court granted defendant's motions for summary judgment. The sole issue presented by this appeal is whether the trial court was in error in so doing. For the reasons herein set forth, we find no error and affirm. URL:http://www.tba.org/tba_files/TCA/DELATTE.OPN.WP6 Document Name :MOORETK.OPN.WP6 Court :TCA SHELLEY I.

P. 56.05 and Tenn. Code Ann. 29-26-115 (1980).

Former New York Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora has waited a long time to be a free agent. He waited so long and is so excited, that he's just saying anything out his mouth. Umenyiora was on NFL Network a few hours ago, and was asked about his future and what his plans were. Umenyiora made it clear his next team would be playoff caliber, maybe a player or two away from winning a championship. Then Osi made the proclamation of the off-season, when he stated that he would win the NFL Defensive Player Of The Year award in 2013. "It wouldn't have to be a playoff team," Umenyiora said. "It could be anybody pretty much anybody who would need me to help them win, and anybody who I think is going to put me in a situation to win Defensive Player of the Year, which is what I'm going to do this year." Umenyiora was asked to repeat himself, and he calmly declined, probably understanding what he said. Umenyiora also let it be known that dollars would factor in to where he signed next season. "My phone is on. I'm not turning my phone off. I'm open to pretty much every situation right now," Umenyiora said. "Wherever puts me in the best situation to really go out there and showcase my skills and help them win, I think that's where I want to go."

The Scoring Game
What is it about antler mass that gets hunters so worked up? I've gotta admit, I too fall victim to the bottom line score now and again. So prominent is the numbers game that it frequently defines our hunting success.
Within our fraternity, scoring has become the vehicle for measuring trophy excellence. Outside our sub-culture however, many chastise us under the politically incorrect label of 'trophy hunters'. Society, under the misguided direction of mainstream media, has been fleeced; convinced that trophy hunters care only about antlers to the exclusion of the animal itself. Attracted exclusively to the rack, big buck hunters are immediately assumed to not give a 'tinker's you know what" about the meat. This couldn't be further from the truth. In fact each and every scoring club from Boone & Crockett to Buckmasters maintains a strict conservation ethic. Sure there are those among us who hunt irresponsibly. I'd be remiss not to recognize the few bad eggs that spoil our public image. On the other hand, I'd venture to say most sportsmen, that is to say, those ascribing to the true trophy hunting mentality, place infinite value in not just the size of a deer's headgear measured by the bottom line score, but most importantly on wildlife management as a whole.
Scoring is Fun
Start to finish, scoring is a proven method of evaluating the size of an animal. From Boone & Crockett to Pope & Young and Longhunter, each represents a standard for North American big game taken with rifle, bow or muzzleloader respectively. The only exception is Jackie Bushman's revolutionary Buckmasters BTR system which accounts for every inch of antler without deduction for abnormalities.
Personal philosophies aside, scoring offers a consistent way to compare what some consider, 'apples with apples'. While more traditional scoring categorizes antlers in typical or non-typical categories, the BTR system counts every inch of antler growth whether it is entirely symmetrical or irregular.
An unfortunate reality, some hunters today place infinite value on the almighty score. Losing sight of the historical premise upon which conservation-based scoring clubs were founded, record classification becomes the 'be all and end all' in their pursuit of game. Too few recognize that each and every scoring organization places a high value not only on trophy classification, but more importantly on preservation of wildlife and the environment...

TV Guide, Volume 13, Number 13 (Issue #626)
Published March 27th, 1965
Published by Triangle Publications, Inc.
122 Pages
NOTE: In March 2015 I revisited this issue of TV Guide as part of my A Year in TV Guide project.
Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore of The Dick Van Dyke Show were on the cover of this issue of TV Guide. As the scan of the front cover shows my copy is pretty beat up. But all the pages are intact. The bulk of the issue is made up of television listings around which are wrapped two color article sections running 36 pages. There are actually only 35 pages of articles; a crossword puzzle takes up the 36th page. Every edition of TV Guide contained the same article sections; only the listings section was changed. This particular issue is from the
Western Eastern New England Edition.
The issue opens with brief reviews of Flipper and The American Sportsman by Cleveland Amory. He calls Flipper "probably the best new children's show on the air, and one which is curiously engrossing, week after week, for adults." As for The American Sportsman — a four episode documentary series — Amory laments that "the fishing is boring, the bird shooting pathetic, and the 'he-man' exchanges embarrassing." On the next page, above the copyright notice and table of contents, is Neil Hickey's "TV Teletype" from New York, with brief notes about the television industry. For example, Hickey reports that Shari Lewis will appear in two episodes of The Dean Martin Show in the fall while Robert Culp and Bill Cosby will be spending three weeks in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao and Japan shooting "background film" for their new show I Spy.
"TV Teletype" is continued on the inner back cover, this time for Hollywood, in which Walt Anderson reports that Pernell Roberts will not be written out of Bonanza due to the "remote possibility that he will agree to come back." Upcoming scripts, according to producer David Dortort, will refer to his character (Adam Cartwright) attending a European university.
Anderson also reports that Celeste Holm has been signed to star in an MGM pilot called Meet Me in St. Louis while Dennis Weaver will appear in Dr. Kildare. There is also a brief "Ten Years Ago This Week" section that recounts NBC's dedication of its Burbank studios, Groucho Marks at the front of the ratings pack accord to ARB and Marlon Brando on Person to Person.
Te fourth page of the issue contains an editorial section titled "As We See It," in which TV Guide notes that color programming, no matter what it is, will do better than popular black-and-white programming (i.e. The Bell Telephone Hour will outrate The Fugitive in color homes). Eventually, however, there will be so many color sets and so much programming in color that ratings will not be affected all that much and there will be no advantage to being in color.
The first big article, entitled "A Visit to a Videloand Disaster Area," has Neil Hickey reporting on The Entertainers, a CBS program starring Carol Burnett, Imogene Coca, Gwen Verdon and Bob Newhart, among others. The show premiered to weak ratings and poor reviews and then Burnett was sidelined with a neck injury, rock and roll acts antagonized Newhart (who soon quit the show) and the show's choreographer, Ernie Flatt, quit to work with Mitzi Gaynor.
Burnett's return was threatened by legal wrangling relating to Fade Out–Fade In, a stage musical she was to appear in. The dispute was settled with Burnett returning to the musical, meaning she would have little time to devote to The Entertainers. In the words of Hickey, her "value to the show was diluted even further by this added drain on her professional, physical and emotional resources." The last episode aired on March 27th, 1964.
The second article, "This Actor Is No Oriental Uncle Tom," is about Jack Soo, and opens with Hal Kanter, creator of ABC's Valentine's Day, recounting how he flew to Las Vegas to sign Soo. When told what the series would entail, Soo stated he would not play an Oriental Uncle Tom. Kanter insisted Soo read the pilot script and once he did, he decided to take the job. Soo's character would be an equal player. The rest of the article offers a brief biography of Soo.
Next up is an article by Edith Efron about Lawrence E. Spivak titled "Stalking the Hunter," about the Meet the Press moderator's questioning style and politics. This is followed by the 86 page interior section. It opens with brief news bites, specials of note, sports, letters and a movie guide. Then the listings begin in earnest.
Following the listings is the cover story about The Dick Van Dyke Show, which includes brief interviews with Dick Van Dyke himself, Mary Tyler Moore, Rose Marie and Morey Amsterdam. Dick Van Dyke explains that the show will be ending following the 1965-1966 season because "there are just so many ideas, and we've used most of them." Then there is a short article about baseball in Houston, another short article about former sports stars turned television stars (Chuck Connors, Dennis Weaver, Jack Ging and John Beradino).
The magazine then publishes reactions to a January 30th article written by Newton N. Minow and Lawrence Laurent about "the failure of present legislation governing political broadcasts and advocated new laws and liberal use of common sense." Among those responding to the article are Frank Stanton, CBS President, Robert W. Sarnoff, NBC Chairman of the Board, Sen. John O. Pastore (D, R.I.), Mike Shaprio, General Manager of WFAA in Dallas, and Nathan Karp, National Campaign Manager for the Socialist Labor Party.
Finally, there is a one-page article on Pat Priest (a.k.a. Marilyn Munster on The Munsters). Then the crossword puzzle, the aforementioned "TV Teletype" section and the back cover advertisement for Winston cigarettes. For the record, both article sections contain at least one advertisement for cigarettes (I only saw one in each section but I admit I could have missed others).
