The group now has 9 days to work out a deficit reduction deal that includes one point 2 trillion dollars in cuts. Included in those cuts are many of USDA's ag programs. In fact, leaders are beginning to expect the Super Committee's decisions will basically write the 2012 farm bill. Ag secretary Tom Vilsack says that might not be a bad thing. Previous farm bills have been mired by hearings, votes and vetoes. He says if the super committee comes up with a plan by november 25th, it only needs 51 votes in the senate rather than the normal 60. Vilsack says the challenges lie in coming up with solutions to cover the diversity in agriculture. He believes a safety net of some sort will be a part of the final legislation. CROP PROGRESS: USDA's crop progress report is starting to wind down for another growing season. Corn's at 93% harvested. Soybeans are at 96%. Both of those are ahead of the five year average. To the south...79% of cotton is picked, 15 points ahead of average. 87% of peanuts are harvested, which is right on target. Other crops of note - sorghum sits at 85% harvested. There are some delays in Colorado, Illinois and New Mexico. And the sunflower is almost wrapped at 93%. Again, some delays in Colorado. But overall, the sunflower harvest is well ahead of average. Nearly all of the winter wheat is planted. 83% has emerged, which is right on average pace. About a third of the crop is called fair. 43% is good. DTR ILLEGALS: From our partners at Dairy Today, a Michigan dairy has been fined nearly three million dollars for hiring illegal aliens. According to U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement, 75% of the dairy workers at Aquila Farms were in this country illegally. In some cases the workers were hired multiple times using different names and social security numbers. The farms owners were sentenced to probation for five years, ordered to pay a half million dollar fine and required to make payments totaling two million dollars in lieu of forfeiture. The owners pleaded guilty in June. DTR; LAS VEGAS: In other news, business relationships with popular food brands appears to be helping build domestic dairy demand. Last week our partners at Dairy Today hosted the Elite Producer Business Conference in Las Vegas. The annual meeting gathers some of the best dairymen in the business. One of the keynote speakers was the CEO of Dairy Management incorporated. DMI administers about 60% of Dairy Check-off dollars. Some of that money has been spent towards product development, such as partnering with Domino's pizza. Dairy Today editor Jim Dickrell asked about the return on that investment. Gallagher says DMI hopes that other quick service chains replicate what McDonalds and Dominos have done, which would further improve domestic demand for cheese and other dairy products. And don't forget, for the very latest news affecting the dairy industry, including production and policy issues, check out www.dairytoday.com. ANALYSIS: Brian Doherty OOTF DEER HUNT: This morning on Outdoors on the Farm, Pro Farmer editor Chip Flory takes us on an educational tour of what it takes to get the right setting for hunting deer. He talks with experts on land management, proper deer stand placement, as well as the locations you choose for successful gaming. He begins the conversation in his own back yard with wildlife biologist, Scott Rolfes. Join us tomorrow as we go outdoors on the farm to Oregon, Illinois. Chip talks to an organization designed to give kids, with special challenges, an opportunity to experience turkey hunting first hand. Food and your family is next. AQUACULTURE: What's the fastest growing source of animal protein around the globe? According to a new report from the United Nation's, it's aquaculture - fish farming. The UN's food and agriculture organization says aquaculture provides nearly half of all fish consumed globally. The report shows global fish production grew more than 60% between 2000 and 2008. The UN also expects 50% of the world's food fish consumption will come from fish farms in 2012. The Asian-Pacific region dominates the sector, accounting for 89% of production. While there's been global growth, the u-s has seen more fish farmers scale back due to overseas competition. CONTACT: We'd love to hear from you! Contact us at 800-792-4329.

Playing at the 2013 Mead: Four Looks at Cultural Tourism main content.
by AMNH on
This year's Margaret Mead Film Festival features 39 great documentary films from around the world. Each week until the festival, which begins October 17, we'll feature a preview of some of the films and themes.
Four films at this year's Margaret Mead Film Festival raise provocative questions about the motivations and economics of cultural tourism—travelling to understand how other people live.
Makings its U.S. premiere on Friday, October 18, Sarah Gavron and David Katznelson's Village at the End of the World focuses on a tiny Inuit village of Niaqornat in northern Greenland that encourages day-trippers from European cruise ships, one part of a larger story about the villagers struggle to survive in the face of a shrinking population and lack of industry. Directors Gavron and Katznelson are 2013 Margaret Mead Filmmaker Award Contenders.
Watch the trailer.
On Saturday, October 19, the world premiere of Gringo Trails will offer a wide-ranging exploration of the unintended cultural and environmental consequences of 30 years of tourism in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The film is directed by Pegi Vail, a 2013 Margaret Mead Filmmaker Award Contender.
Watch the trailer.
On Sunday, October 20, a tribute screening of Australian filmmaker Dennis O'Rourke's 1988 classic Cannibal Tours (see image below) will be screened along with the U.S. premiere of Framing the Other, a 2012 film with contemporary echoes of O'Rourke's seminal work.
O'Rourke's Cannibal Tours was originally released to much acclaim and controversy, challenging viewers to consider a discomfiting question: who are the cultural oddities in the film—the indigenous people of a remote corner of Papua New Guinea or their Western visitors? With both dry humor and objective detachment, Cannibal Tours explores the sometimes amusing, sometimes uncomfortable differences that emerge when "civilized" and "primitive" people meet and the tense bargain struck in the selling and buying of souvenirs.
Similarly, Framing the Other takes viewers on an excursion into southern Ethiopia, where the lip plates and vibrant jewelry of the women of the Mursi tribe have spawned a lively tourist trade. Western visitors drop in by the busloads to pay to take photographs—the more embellished the adornment, the higher the price. Throughout the course of the 25-minute film, one senses a deep disconnect between the locals and the tourists and a missed opportunity for authentic exchange. The directors of Framing the Other, Willem Timmers, who will be in attendance, and Ilja Kok came to the project having served as tour guides in the region.
Watch the trailer.
The double screening is part of a celebration of O'Rourke, who died in June, and his contribution to the field of cultural storytelling, including a discussion of his legacy and the continuing issues around cultural tourism.

text: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/pa-nl3-marenostrum.html Power Architecture Community Newsletter, 15 Feb 2005: MareNostrum: A new concept in Linux supercomputing e-mail it! Contents: The name and the history Meet MareNostrum Distinguishing technologies View from the crow's nest Resources About the author Rate this article Related content: Project MareNostrum site IBM eServer Cluster Servers Subscriptions: dW newsletters Level: Introductory developerWorks Power Architecture editors IBM 15 Feb 2005 The MareNostrum supercomputer at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, ranked number four in the world in speed in November 2004, is constructed of such totally off-the-shelf parts as IBM BladeCenter JS20 servers, 64-bit 970FX PowerPC processors, TotalStorage DS4100 storage servers, and Linux 2.6. This is its story. IBM® has long been a supercomputing leader -- its heritage of innovation currently and spectacularly manifested in its most powerful supercomputer, Blue Gene®/L. The MareNostrum project is the latest bold experiment in supercomputing by IBM -- a small but powerful, rapidly deployed and built system that comes entirely from commercially available components. The Latin term mare nostrum means "our sea" (which to the Romans meant the Mediterranean, as familiar and available to the Italici as the air they breathed, but also the critical key to their success). MareNostrum is one of the world's most powerful supercomputers, ranked among the top five in the prestigious TOP500 (see Resources), yet it is constructed from products available for sale to any business, lives within a relatively small footprint, and was built on a tight schedule using blade servers, a Linux. operating environment, and other cost-efficient technologies. MareNostrum represents a new way of thinking about high-performance computing. Blade servers, some of the most thin and dense machines that can be slid into chassis with the ability to share sources such as power and network switches, became the base components of this supercomputer design. Those familiar with the IBM BladeCenter. JS20 servers' shared-resources architecture will recognize how these servers cost-effectively minimize power consumption and heat output. Running the Linux operating system, the servers exploit the capabilities of the 2.6 kernel on 64-bit PowerPC® processors. MareNostrum also demonstrates something very unique in its project timeline: Part of its mission was to prove the speed at which IBM Linux clusters could be implemented and unleashed. According to the IBM MareNostrum e-Science Lead, Dr. Juan Jose Porta (Open Systems Design and Development, IBM Boeblingen Laboratory): This is all about timely and focused execution. The speed at which this project was realized is important. Consider: from the initial concept in late December of 2003 to assembling the computer in Madrid took less than a year. Normally, this kind of supercomputer projects take years. To make a remarkable saga short, MareNostrum is here and will soon be put into operation by the Barcelona Supercomputer Center (BSC), a public consortium created by the Spanish Government, the Catalonian Government, and the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), the hosts of the MareNostrum supercomputer. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center is located on the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) campus in Barcelona. Dr. Porta added, "The supercomputer is based upon commodity technology already developed and available. We were also playing with another piece of magic -- an open environment. This has been a collaborative community effort, where we closely worked with our partners." The name and the history Why "MareNostrum?" In the words of Dr. Porta: MareNostrum means literally "our sea," which is also the Latin name for the Mediterranean Sea on which Barcelona is a port. It carries other apt connotations. "Our sea" refers to a sea of processors and professors who are flocking to the MareNostrum project with a deep commitment to breakthrough science. MareNostrum also refers to the fact that our supercomputer is on the shores of the Mediterranean which, in the days of old Rome, was the middle of the world. This was the center of the Roman Empire, now to become the center of European e-Science on the shores of the nice Mediterranean Sea! Thus, we are talking about an ocean of many professors and a major hub around which such facilitation will grow and thrive to empower a new generation of scientists. Another significant aspect of the name is that, being Latin, it is more culturally inclusive. Not everyone is aware that Spain has actually four official languages, and we did not want to slight anyone. Latin was a safe choice. Spain now understandably becomes the proud home to the most powerful supercomputer in Europe. We see references to its having been assembled in Madrid, but also references to its permanent home as being in Barcelona. MareNostrum is a result of the burgeoning partnership between IBM and the Spanish Government, which has also led to the creation of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC). BSC is a public consortium created by the Spanish Government, the Catalonian Government, and the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), which will host the MareNostrum supercomputer. Housed in a majestic 1920s chapel on the university grounds, MareNostrum serves a dual purpose: To serve as a primary high-performance computing resource for the European e-science community and to demonstrate the many benefits of Linux on POWER. in scale. Meet MareNostrum With peak system performance of 40 teraflops for the final system configuration, and a number four spot on the TOP500 list, MareNostrum continues the IBM tradition of high-performance computing breakthroughs in the service of scientific advancement with a twist: MareNostrum is built entirely of commercially available components, including: * 2,282 IBM eServer BladeCenter JS20 blade servers housed in 163 * BladeCenter chassis * 4,564 64-bit IBM PowerPC 970FX processors * 140 TB of IBM TotalStorage® DS4100 storage servers The thinking behind MareNostrum's construction represents a new way of looking at these and other compute-intensive areas. Today's typical high-performance computing installation runs a large, parallel RISC-based UNIX® system with performance instead of reliability being of utmost importance. MareNostrum, however, is a small-footprint Linux cluster made up entirely of off-the-shelf components. With the extreme density of IBM eServer BladeCenter JS20 servers, diskless nodes, and an open system environment, MareNostrum offers superior price/performance; greater reliability, availability, and serviceability; and significant cost efficiencies -- factors that are endearing Linux-based cluster servers to more and more businesses all the time. Distinguishing technologies The next sections explain the hardware and software technologies that distinguish the high-performance computing strategy behind MareNostrum. Hardware: Servers There are 2,282 IBM eServer BladeCenter JS20 servers housed in 163 BladeCenters chassis. Each server Blade has two PowerPC 970 processors running at 2.20GHz, providing superior performance for several varieties of Linux. The BladeCenter technology offers the highest commercially available computer density in the industry, which results in high performance with a small footprint. The BladeCenter technology allows for 84 dual processor servers in a single 42 U rack, giving more than 1.4 teraflops of compute power in a single rack. Hot-swappable JS20 servers also allow administrators to change servers without disrupting applications, maximizing availability. Its shared-resources architecture helps to minimize power consumption and heat output, as well. Hardware: Storage MareNostrum's storage subsystem consists of 20 storage server nodes with 7 terabytes of capacity each or 140 terabytes of total capacity. Its backbone is the IBM TotalStorage DS4100 storage server which, like the BladeCenter JS20, uses redundant hot-swappable components for high availability. IBM TotalStorage DS4100 technology enables tremendous scalability and a wide range of RAID data protection options. Hardware: Switching Four switch frames with Myrinet, including 10 CLOS 256+256 switches and 2 Spine 1280s and densely bundled Myrinet cabling enables faster parallel processing with less switching hardware. The redundant hot-swappable power supply ensures greater availability. The complete switch with 12 chassis provides for 2,560 uniform ports. This uniformity simplifies the programming model so researches can focus on their programs and not the system interconnect architecture. Software: The power of Linux on POWER The Linux 2.6 kernel offers an array of enterprise and performance features that exploit the Power Architecture.. The virtualization capabilities of Linux on POWER allow for more flexible partitioning, better balancing of workloads, and superior scalability should workloads increase. Dr. Porta explained, "It is the Linux 2.6 kernel which offers an array of enterprise and performance features that exploit the Power Architecture." Software: Diskless Image Management (DIM) DIM is a prototype utility for managing the Linux distribution for the compute nodes on the storage servers so that the compute node does not have to manage the root file system. All the files for operation are obtained through the cluster network. Because of this, blades can operate immediately without Linux installation. This is on-demand operation. The blades do have a disk drive but that is reserved for future application use such as checkpointing. DIM also supports the network boot environment in a highly distributed fashion. Software: IBM Linux on POWER clustering technologies The goal is to endow MareNostrum with the same benefits businesses in many industries derive from IBM Linux clusters, albeit on a larger scale. Benefits such as: * Superior density and improved operating efficiency, including smaller * space, power, and cooling requirements and related costs -- thanks to * the BladeCenter JS20 architecture * Record price/performance and system throughput for high-performance * computing workloads thanks to innovative POWER semiconductor * technology, specifically the eight-way superscalar design of the * PowerPC 970FX processor which fully supports symmetric multi-processing * (SMP) * The leading IBM 64-bit POWER microprocessors are capable of addressing * four billion times the amount of physical memory as traditional 32-bit * processors without resorting to complex memory-extension techniques. * Better systems management control thanks to embedded service processors * and software image management * Increased reliability, availability, and serviceability, as well as * lower installation and maintenance costs -- provided by diskless * compute nodes * Improved functionality and performance thanks to the Linux 2.6 kernel * Reduced switching hardware requirements and faster parallel processing * provided by Myrinet switch cabling * Improved storage subsystem costs and reliability thanks to TotalStorage * DS4100 storage technology View from the crow's nest When the power of MareNostrum is unleashed later this year, it will be at the service of scientific, engineering, and medical researchers in the Spanish and international scientific communities. Its to-do list includes issues that are familiar in the supercomputing world, such as protein folding, in silico (computer generated) drug screening and enzymatic reactions. MareNostrum will be used to support basic and applied research in areas that include biology, chemistry, physics, and information-based medicine. As Dr. Porta summed up: ...[T]he very thinking that drove MareNostrum's construction is a new way of looking at compute-intensive areas, particularly in the life sciences, as we prepare new work to resolve challenging problems in information based medicine -- including improvements in diagnostic and therapeutic treatments in hospitals. In the EU context, many of the projects will be conducted in collaboration with other leading European research institutions. We are building collaborative efforts across geographic borders and disciplines. And remember -- the name of the supercomputer is MareNostrum. Traditionally, it was the Mediterranean Sea which allowed commerce and communication to flourish in Europe and beyond.

But that greatly increases the cost of the motherboards, and mobo manufacturing is a very price sensitive business. every square cm of board costs a bunch, all the way through the whole supply chain (mfr, storage, shipping, etc.) Interesting that there was HUGE economic pressure to integrate the FPU onto the chip after the 386/387 era. And the whole reason the x87 wasn't integrated wasn't because of marketing, but because of die size limitations. With the 486, the dies got big enough to integrate, and they've never looked back. I haven't even seen any mass-market coprocessors of that type (i.e. closely coupled to the CPU) since then. The coprocessors have tended towards performing some specific function (e.g. graphics, or PCI bridge with integrated peripherals) and have been fairly loosely coupled. >>>I would say that there is more potential for a clever soul to reprogram >>>the guts of Matlab, etc., to transparently share the work across >>>multiple machines.

George Bernard Shaw, (born July 26, 1856, Dublin, Ireland—died November 2, 1950, Ayot St. Lawrence, Hertfordshire, England), Irish comic dramatist, literary critic, and socialist propagandist, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925.
Early life and career
George Bernard Shaw was the third and youngest child (and only son) of George Carr Shaw and Lucinda Elizabeth Gurly Shaw. Technically, he belonged to the Protestant "ascendancy"—the landed Irish gentry—but his impractical father was first a sinecured civil servant and then an unsuccessful grain merchant, and George Bernard grew up in an atmosphere of genteel poverty, which to him was more humiliating than being merely poor. At first Shaw was tutored by a clerical uncle, and he basically rejected the schools he then attended; by age 16 he was working in a land agent's office.
Shaw developed a wide knowledge of music, art, and literature as a result of his mother's influence and his visits to the National Gallery of Ireland. In 1872 his mother left her husband and took her two daughters to London, following her music teacher, George John Vandeleur Lee, who from 1866 had shared households in Dublin with the Shaws. In 1876 Shaw resolved to become a writer, and he joined his mother and elder sister (the younger one having died) in London. Shaw in his 20s suffered continuous frustration and poverty. He depended upon his mother's pound a week from her husband and her earnings as a music teacher. He spent his afternoons in the British Museum reading room, writing novels and reading what he had missed at school, and his evenings in search of additional self-education in the lectures and debates that characterized contemporary middle-class London intellectual activities.
His fiction failed utterly. The semiautobiographical and aptly titled Immaturity (1879; published 1930) repelled every publisher in London. His next four novels were similarly refused, as were most of the articles he submitted to the press for a decade. Shaw's initial literary work earned him less than 10 shillings a year. A fragment posthumously published as An Unfinished Novel in 1958 (but written 1887–88) was his final false start in fiction.
Despite his failure as a novelist in the 1880s, Shaw found himself during this decade. He became a vegetarian, a socialist, a spellbinding orator, a polemicist, and tentatively a playwright. He became the force behind the newly founded (1884) Fabian Society, a middle-class socialist group that aimed at the transformation of English society not through revolution but through "permeation" (in Sidney Webb's term) of the country's intellectual and political life. Shaw involved himself in every aspect of its activities, most visibly as editor of one of the classics of British socialism, Fabian Essays in Socialism (1889), to which he also contributed two sections.
Eventually, in 1885, the drama critic William Archer found Shaw steady journalistic work. His early journalism ranged from book reviews in the Pall Mall Gazette (1885–88) and art criticism in the World (1886–89) to brilliant musical columns in the Star (as "Corno di Bassetto"—basset horn) from 1888 to 1890 and in the World (as "G.B.S.") from 1890 to 1894. Shaw had a good understanding of music, particularly opera, and he supplemented his knowledge with a brilliance of digression that gives many of his notices a permanent appeal. But Shaw truly began to make his mark when he was recruited by Frank Harris to the Saturday Review as theatre critic (1895–98); in that position he used all his wit and polemical powers in a campaign to displace the artificialities and hypocrisies of the Victorian stage with a theatre of vital ideas. He also began writing his own plays.
First plays
When Shaw began writing for the English stage, its most prominent dramatists were Sir A.W. Pinero and H.A. Jones. Both men were trying to develop a modern realistic drama, but neither had the power to break away from the type of artificial plots and conventional character types expected by theatregoers. The poverty of this sort of drama had become apparent with the introduction of several of Henrik Ibsen's plays onto the London stage around 1890, when A Doll's House was played in London; his Ghosts followed in 1891, and the possibility of a new freedom and seriousness on the English stage was introduced. Shaw, who was about to publish The Quintessence of Ibsenism (1891), rapidly refurbished an abortive comedy, Widowers' Houses, as a play recognizably "Ibsenite" in tone, making it turn on the notorious scandal of slum landlordism in London. The result (performed 1892) flouted the threadbare romantic conventions that were still being exploited even by the most daring new playwrights. In the play a well-intentioned young Englishman falls in love and then discovers that both his prospective father-in-law's fortune and his own private income derive from exploitation of the poor. Potentially this is a tragic situation, but Shaw seems to have been always determined to avoid tragedy. The unamiable lovers do not attract sympathy; it is the social evil and not the romantic predicament on which attention is concentrated, and the action is kept well within the key of ironic comedy.
The same dramatic predispositions control Mrs. Warren's Profession, written in 1893 but not performed until 1902 because the lord chamberlain, the censor of plays, refused it a license. Its subject is organized prostitution, and its action turns on the discovery by a well-educated young woman that her mother has graduated through the "profession" to become a part proprietor of brothels throughout Europe. Again, the economic determinants of the situation are emphasized, and the subject is treated remorselessly and without the titillation of fashionable comedies about "fallen women." As with many of Shaw's works, the play is, within limits, a drama of ideas, but the vehicle by which these are presented is essentially one of high comedy.
Shaw called these first plays "unpleasant," because "their dramatic power is used to force the spectator to face unpleasant facts." He followed them with four "pleasant" plays in an effort to find the producers and audiences that his mordant comedies had offended. Both groups of plays were revised and published in Plays Pleasant and Unpleasant (1898). The first of the second group, Arms and the Man (performed 1894), has a Balkan setting and makes lighthearted, though sometimes mordant, fun of romantic falsifications of both love and warfare. The second, Candida (performed 1897), was important for English theatrical history, for its successful production at the Royal Court Theatre in 1904 encouraged Harley Granville-Barker and J.E. Vedrenne to form a partnership that resulted in a series of brilliant productions there. The play represents its heroine as forced to choose between her clerical husband—a worthy but obtuse Christian socialist—and a young poet who has fallen wildly in love with her. She chooses her seemingly confident husband because she discerns that he is actually the weaker man. The poet is immature and hysterical but, as an artist, has a capacity to renounce personal happiness in the interest of some large creative purpose. This is a significant theme for Shaw; it leads on to that of the conflict between man as spiritual creator and woman as guardian of the biological continuity of the human race that is basic to a later play, Man and Superman. In Candida such speculative issues are only lightly touched on, and this is true also of You Never Can Tell (performed 1899), in which the hero and heroine, who believe themselves to be respectively an accomplished amorist and an utterly rational and emancipated woman, find themselves in the grip of a vital force that takes little account of these notions.
The strain of writing these plays, while his critical and political work went on unabated, so sapped Shaw's strength that a minor illness became a major one. In 1898, during the process of recuperation, he married his unofficial nurse, Charlotte Payne-Townshend, an Irish heiress and friend of Beatrice and Sidney Webb. The apparently celibate marriage lasted all their lives, Shaw satisfying his emotional needs in paper-passion correspondences with Ellen Terry, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, and others.
Shaw's next collection of plays, Three Plays for Puritans (1901), continued what became the traditional Shavian preface—an introductory essay in an electric prose style dealing as much with the themes suggested by the plays as the plays themselves. The Devil's Disciple (performed 1897) is a play set in New Hampshire during the American Revolution and is an inversion of traditional melodrama. Caesar and Cleopatra (performed 1901) is Shaw's first great play. In the play Cleopatra is a spoiled and vicious 16-year-old child rather than the 38-year-old temptress of Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra. The play depicts Caesar as a lonely and austere man who is as much a philosopher as he is a soldier. The play's outstanding success rests upon its treatment of Caesar as a credible study in magnanimity and "original morality" rather than as a superhuman hero on a stage pedestal. The third play, Captain Brassbound's Conversion (performed 1900), is a sermon against various kinds of folly masquerading as duty and justice.
International importance
In Man and Superman (performed 1905) Shaw expounded his philosophy that humanity is the latest stage in a purposeful and eternal evolutionary movement of the "life force" toward ever-higher life forms. The play's hero, Jack Tanner, is bent on pursuing his own spiritual development in accordance with this philosophy as he flees the determined marital pursuit of the heroine, Ann Whitefield. In the end Jack ruefully allows himself to be captured in marriage by Ann upon recognizing that she herself is a powerful instrument of the "life force," since the continuation and thus the destiny of the human race lies ultimately in her and other women's reproductive capacity. The play's nonrealistic third act, the "Don Juan in Hell" dream scene, is spoken theatre at its most operatic and is often performed independently as a separate piece.
Shaw had already become established as a major playwright on the Continent by the performance of his plays there, but, curiously, his reputation lagged in England. It was only with the production of John Bull's Other Island (performed 1904) in London, with a special performance for Edward VII, that Shaw's stage reputation was belatedly made in England.
Shaw continued, through high comedy, to explore religious consciousness and to point out society's complicity in its own evils. In Major Barbara (performed 1905), Shaw has his heroine, a major in the Salvation Army, discover that her estranged father, a munitions manufacturer, may be a dealer in death but that his principles and practice, however unorthodox, are religious in the highest sense, while those of the Salvation Army require the hypocrisies of often-false public confession and the donations of the distillers and the armourers against which it inveighs. In The Doctor's Dilemma (performed 1906), Shaw produced a satire upon the medical profession (representing the self-protection of professions in general) and upon both the artistic temperament and the public's inability to separate it from the artist's achievement. In Androcles and the Lion (performed 1912), Shaw dealt with true and false religious exaltation in a philosophical play about early Christianity. Its central theme, examined through a group of early Christians condemned to the arena, is that one must have something worth dying for—an end outside oneself—in order to make life worth living.
Possibly Shaw's comedic masterpiece, and certainly his funniest and most popular play, is Pygmalion (performed 1913). It was claimed by Shaw to be a didactic drama about phonetics, and its antiheroic hero, Henry Higgins, is a phonetician, but the play is a humane comedy about love and the English class system. The play is about the training Higgins gives to a Cockney flower girl to enable her to pass as a lady and is also about the repercussions of the experiment's success. The scene in which Eliza Doolittle appears in high society when she has acquired a correct accent but no notion of polite conversation is one of the funniest in English drama. Pygmalion has been both filmed (1938), winning an Academy Award for Shaw for his screenplay, and adapted into an immensely popular musical, My Fair Lady (1956; motion-picture version, 1964).
Works after World War I
World War I was a watershed for Shaw. At first he ceased writing plays, publishing instead a controversial pamphlet, "Common Sense About the War," which called Great Britain and its allies equally culpable with the Germans and argued for negotiation and peace. His antiwar speeches made him notorious and the target of much criticism. In Heartbreak House (performed 1920), Shaw exposed, in a country-house setting on the eve of war, the spiritual bankruptcy of the generation responsible for the war's bloodshed. Attempting to keep from falling into "the bottomless pit of an utterly discouraging pessimism," Shaw wrote five linked plays under the collective title Back to Methuselah (1922). They expound his philosophy of creative evolution in an extended dramatic parable that progresses through time from the Garden of Eden to 31,920 ce.
The canonization of Joan of Arc in 1920 reawakened within Shaw ideas for a chronicle play about her. In the resulting masterpiece, Saint Joan (performed 1923), the Maid is treated not only as a Roman Catholic saint and martyr but as a combination of practical mystic, heretical saint, and inspired genius. Joan, as the superior being "crushed between those mighty forces, the Church and the Law," is the personification of the tragic heroine; her death embodies the paradox that humankind fears—and often kills—its saints and heroes and will go on doing so until the very higher moral qualities it fears become the general condition of man through a process of evolutionary change. Acclaim for Saint Joan led to the awarding of the 1925 Nobel Prize for Literature to Shaw (he refused the award).
In his later plays Shaw intensified his explorations into tragicomic and nonrealistic symbolism. For the next five years, he wrote nothing for the theatre but worked on his collected edition of 1930–38 and the encyclopaedic political tract "The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism" (1928). Then he produced The Apple Cart (performed 1929), a futuristic high comedy that emphasizes Shaw's inner conflicts between his lifetime of radical politics and his essentially conservative mistrust of the common man's ability to govern himself. Shaw's later, minor plays include Too True to Be Good (performed 1932), On the Rocks (performed 1933), The Simpleton of the Unexpected Isles (performed 1935), Geneva (performed 1938), and In Good King Charles's Golden Days (1939). After a wartime hiatus, Shaw, then in his 90s, produced several more plays, including Farfetched Fables (performed 1950), Shakes Versus Shav (performed 1949), and Why She Would Not (1956), which is a fantasy with only flashes of the earlier Shaw.
Impudent, irreverent, and always a showman, Shaw used his buoyant wit to keep himself in the public eye to the end of his 94 years; his wiry figure, bristling beard, and dandyish cane were as well known throughout the world as his plays. When his wife, Charlotte, died of a lingering illness in 1943, in the midst of World War II, Shaw, frail and feeling the effects of wartime privations, made permanent his retreat from his London apartment to his country home at Ayot St. Lawrence, a Hertfordshire village in which he had lived since 1906. He died there in 1950.
George Bernard Shaw was not merely the best comic dramatist of his time but also one of the most significant playwrights in the English language since the 17th century. Some of his greatest works for the stage—Caesar and Cleopatra, the "Don Juan in Hell" episode of Man and Superman, Major Barbara, Heartbreak House, and Saint Joan—have a high seriousness and prose beauty that were unmatched by his stage contemporaries. His development of a drama of moral passion and of intellectual conflict and debate, his revivifying of the comedy of manners, and his ventures into symbolic farce and into a theatre of disbelief helped shape the theatre of his time and after. A visionary and mystic whose philosophy of moral passion permeates his plays, Shaw was also the most trenchant pamphleteer since Swift, the most readable music critic in English, the best theatre critic of his generation, a prodigious lecturer and essayist on politics, economics, and sociological subjects, and one of the most prolific letter writers in literature. By bringing a bold critical intelligence to his many other areas of interest, he helped mold the political, economic, and sociological thought of three generations.Stanley Weintraub John I.M.

Transforming old industrial areas into green areas, providing employment to local people and integrating nature with human activities and the urban environment is what IUCN Members strive to do in Belgium.
In 2012, the Brussels Government adopted new and innovative nature legislation specific to its urban context. The legislation introduces a new concept of nature conservation.
Replacing sanctuary nature zones and inaccessible nature reserves, the new legislation promotes the concept of nature integration. In other words, efforts are made for nature to be incorporated into the built environment, promoting the co-existence with people and their activities.
The Hoge Kempen National Park, in the east of Belgium, is a unique nature area, covering more than 5,700 hectares of woodland and heathland. The Park was officially established only six years ago and yet it is already seen throughout the world as a model for nature conservation. Carved out of a once industrial area in Limburg, the project is a rare example of cooperation between industry, government and environmental organizations.
Despite its small size, Belgium hosts lots of species. Recent biodiversity assessments have recorded more than 35,000 species of animals, plants, fungi and bacteria in the country. Nearly two thirds of these species are animals. Insects are the most numerous: 4,500 species of beetles, 4,500 species of flies and mosquitoes, 2,400 species of butterflies and moths, and more.

text: Yemen is on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula and shares borders with Saudi Arabia and Oman. Yemen has had a troubled recent history predominated by civil war and tribal conflicts. Travel to Yemen at this time is not recommended because of the very high threat of terrorist attacks, kidnappings, tribal violence and general lawlessness. Terrorist groups actively target tourist groups, with targeted suicide bombings and armed ambushes occurring yearly since 2007. Travel in the Saada region of northern Yemen is strongly discouraged because of the risk of violent civil unrest. Like Afghanistan, these areas are remote and ruled by tribal bands, making it prime grounds for al-Queda to breed and multiply in.

Sure. Get machine A (32bit) , get machine B (64bit). Install both, being sure to install all "compatibility libraries" (which hopefully exist and are prebuilt and packaged for your distribution) on B. compile application on A. Attempt to run application on B. Go back and add missing libraries, building and packaging as required, until 32 bit A binary runs on B. Well, ok, I don't know how EASY that all is... but it is straightforward. What is even easier is: cd Src/64 cvs checkout myapp cd myapp make cp myapp ~/bin64 vs cd Src/32 cvs checkout myapp cd myapp make cp myapp ~/bin32 Then all you have to do is write a teeny snippet for e.g. .bashrc that runs uname -p and puts $HOME/bin64 first on your $PATH if it is equal to x86_64, otherwise $HOME/bin32. Or put the uname into your Makefile and create myapp32 and myapp64. And create a shell script called myapp that uses uname -p to execute the correct binary on whichever architecture and just build both versions whenever you are ready to go into production. This is a bit ugly, but it is very easy and it has the virtue of compiling and linking for the actual platform being used; one HOPES that 64 bit libraries and code will outperform 32 bit libraries and code on any 64 bit platform (at least on average) or we all have to ask ourselves a great big why bother sort of question. Eventually one expects mixed environment to disappear as everything becomes 64 bit, but it hasn't happened yet. Back in the bad old days, when our physics department had Sun 3, Sun 4, SGI/Irix, Sun 386i, and maybe some NeXTs, an Ultrix box or two, an AIX loaner (you get the picture) I had a big old conditional tree at the beginning of my rc files righteously ripped off from PVM's aimk that would identify the architecture of whatever I was running on and set some environment variables that I later used to vary path, reset various aliases and so forth so all the platforms behaved as nearly as possibly alike at the shell level and could run any binaries I built per architecture. Linux levelled the field and made this no longer worthwhile, and I think most sites now try to run a single architecture, although that is changing and will likely change some more with x86_64, Itanium, and competitive PPC boxes joining the ubiquitous i386 boxes. PVM was (and likely still is) a past master at this sort of juggling. If you build and install your binaries once per architecture in their PVM arch paths, pvm will parallelize applications transparently across completely different binary architectures. I've seen graphs of some of the early PVM testbed computations where a computation ran on four or five architectures including a Cray, with the Cray doing the vector stuff and the workstation clusters doing non-vector stuff. rgb > > > Thanks > Renato > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > -- Robert G.

Thomas Eakins
Thomas Cowperthwait Eakins (July 25 1844 – June 25 1916) was an American painter, sculptor, photographer and art instructor.
- If by politeness then is meant goodness, it is appreciated by me as I trust it always has been, but if it is to mean the string of ceremonies generally used for concealing ill nature, and which have been found necessary to the existence of every society whose members are wanting in self respect and morality, I detest it more than ever.
My prominent idea of a polite man is one who is nothing but polish. It is an unenviable reputation. If there was anything else in him the polish would never be noticed. He is a bad drawing finely worked up, and Gérôme says that every attempt at finish on a bad design serves only to make the work more contemptible.
- Letter to Emily Sartain (ca. 1867); from Sylvan Schendler, Eakins (1967), footnote, ch. 10.
- When a man paints a naked woman he gives her less than poor Nature did. I can conceive of few circumstances wherein I would have to paint a woman naked, but if I did I would not mutilate her for double the money. She is the most beautiful thing there is — except a naked man, but I never saw a study of one exhibited.
- Letter to his father, Benjamin Eakins (1867), quoted in Lloyd Goodrich, Thomas Eakins: His Life and Work (1933).
- The big artist does not sit down monkey like & copy a coal scuttle or an ugly old woman like some Dutch painters have done nor a dungpile, but he keeps a sharp eye on Nature & steals her tools. He learns what she does with light the big tool & then colour then form and appropriates them to his own use. Then he's got a canoe of his own smaller than Nature's but big enough for every purpose except to paint the midday sun which is not beautiful at all. It is plenty strong enough though to make midday sunlight or the setting sun if you know how to handle it. With this canoe he can sail parallel to Nature's sailing. He will soon be sailing only where he wants to selecting nice little coves & shady shores or storms to his own liking, but if ever he thinks he can sail another fashion from Nature or make a better shaped boat he'll capsize or stick in the mud & nobody will buy his pictures or sail with him in his old tub.
- Letter to Benjamin Eakins (1868-03-03).
- In a big picture you can see what o'clock it is afternoon or morning if it's hot or cold winter or summer & what kind of people are there & what they are doing and why they are doing it. The sentiments run beyond words. If a man makes a hot day he makes it like a hot day he once saw or is seeing if a sweet face a face he once saw or which he imagines from old memories or parts of memories & his knowledge and he combines never creates but at the very first combination no man & less of all himself could ever disentangle the feelings that animated him just then & refer each one to its right place.
- Letter to Benjamin Eakins (1868-03-03).
- A teacher can do very little for a pupil and should only be thankful if he don't hinder him, and the greater the master, mostly the less he can say.
- Letter to Benjamin Eakins (1869-11-29).
- I have seen big painting here. When I had looked at all the paintings by all the masters I had known I could not help saying to myself all the time, it's very pretty but it's not all yet. It ought to be better, but now I have seen what I always thought ought to have been done and what did not seem to me impossible. O what satisfaction it gave me to see the good Spanish work so good so strong so reasonable so free from every affectation. It stands out like nature itself.
- Letter from Madrid to Benjamin Eakins (1869-12-02).
- My figures at least are not a bunch of clothes with a head and hands sticking out but more nearly resemble the strong living bodies that most pictures show. And in the latter end of a life so spent in study, you at least can imagine that painting is with me a very serious study. That I have but little patience with the false modesty which is the greatest enemy to all figure painting. I see no impropriety in looking at the most beautiful of Nature's works, the naked figure. If there is impropriety, then just where does such impropriety begin? Is it wrong to look at a picture of a naked figure or at a statue? English ladies of the last generation thought so and avoided the statue galleries, but do so no longer. Or is it a question of sex? Should men make only the statues of men to be looked at by men, while the statues of women should be made by women to be looked at by women only? Should the he-painters draw the horses and bulls, and the she-painters like Rosa Bonheur the mares and cows? Must the poor old male body in the dissecting room be mutilated before Miss Prudery can dabble in his guts?
Such indignities anger me. Can not anyone see into what contemptible inconsistencies such follies all lead? And how dangerous they are? My conscience is clear, and my suffering is past.
- Letter of resignation to Edward Hornor Coates, Chairman of the Committee on Instruction, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1886-02-15).
- In pursuance of my business and professional studies, I use the naked model.
A number of my women pupils have for economy studied from each others' figures, and of these some have obtained from time to time my criticism on their work.
I have frequently used as models for myself my male pupils: very rarely female pupils and then only with the knowledge and consent of their mothers.
One of the women pupils some years ago gave to her lover who communicated it to Mr. Frank Stephens a list of these pupils as far as she knew them, and since that time Mr. Frank Stephens has boasted to witnesses of the power which this knowledge gave him to turn me out of the Academy, the Philadelphia Sketch Club, & the Academy Art Club, and of his intention to drive me from the city.
- Letter to Emily Sartain (1886-03-25). Frank Stephens was Eakins' brother-in-law.
- As some of you know, I some years ago — a few — painted a picture of Mr. Whitman. I began in the usual way, but soon found that the ordinary methods wouldn't do — that technique, rules and traditions would have to be thrown aside; that before all else, he was to be treated as a man, whatever became of what are commonly called the principles of art.
- Testimonial dinner, Camden NJ, for Walt Whitman on his seventy-second birthday (1891-05-31) .
- I desire to sever all connection with the Society of American Artists. In deference to some of its older members, who perhaps from sentimental motives requested me to reconsider my resignation last year, I shall explain... For the last three years my paintings have been rejected by you, one of them the Agnew portrait, a composition more important than any I have ever seen on your walls.
Rejection for three years eliminates all elements of chance, and while in my opinion there are qualities in my work which entitle it to rank with the best in your Society, your Society's opinion must be that it ranks below much that I consider frivolous and superficial. These opinions are irreconcilable.
- Letter to the Society of American Artists (1892-05-07).
- I taught in the Academy from the opening of the schools until I was turned out, a period much longer than I should have permitted myself to remain there.
My honors are misunderstanding, persecution and neglect, enhanced because unsought.
- Letter to Harrison Morris (1894-04-23).
- On the lines of the mighty and simple strains dominating the movement, and felt intuitively and studied out by him, the master artist groups with full intention, his muscular forms. No detail contradicts. His men and animals live. Such is the work of three or four modern artists. Such was the work of many an old Greek sculptor.
- "The Differential Action of Certain Muscles Passing More than One Joint," lecture, Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia (1894-05-01).
- I have never discovered that the nude could be studied in any way except the way I have adopted. All the muscles must be pointed out. To do this all the drapery must be removed.
- Said to art critic Riter Fitzgerald, who quoted Eakins in an article in the Philadelphia Item (1895); from Sylvan Schendler, Eakins (1967), ch. 10.
- I once painted a concert singer and on the chestnut frame I carved the opening bars of Mendelssohn's "Rest in the Lord." It was ornamental unobtrusive and to musicians I think it emphasized the expression of the face and pose of the figure.
- Letter to Henry A. Rowland (1897-10-04).
- Strain your brain more than your eye... You can copy a thing to a certain limit. Then you must use intellect.
- Advice to his art students; quoted in Lloyd Goodrich, Thomas Eakins (1933).
- If America is to produce great painters and if young artists wish to assume a place in the history of the art of their country, their first desire should be to remain in America to peer deeper into the heart of American life, rather than spend their time abroad obtaining a superficial view of the art of the Old World. In the days when I studied abroad conditions were entirely different. The facilities for study in this country were meagre. There were even no life classes in our art schools and schools of painting. Naturally one had to seek instruction elsewhere, abroad. Today we need not do that.
- Interview, Philadelphia Press; quoted in Lloyd Goodrich, Thomas Eakins (1933).
- I want to see the gardens and palace of the Alcazar where the Moorish Kings used to live. It is as perfect an architecture as the Egyptian, Greek or Gothic and just as beautiful, maybe more beautiful and it is well built for it looks as new as if it had just been done. We have to thanks these Moors for our greatest sciences, they did the big work for us, they started them, Algebra, Chemistry, Astronomy. They are our masters.
- Thomas Eakins, in Vistas de España, Mary Elizabeth Boone, Yale University Press, 2007, p. 77.
About Thomas Eakins[edit]
- Whitman: And Eakins - What of Tom Eakins. He is here. Haven't you something to say to us Eakins?
Eakins: I am not a speaker.
Whitman: So much the better — you are more likely to say something.
- Testimonial dinner for Walt Whitman on his seventy-second birthday (1891-05-31).
- I never knew of but one artist, and that's Tom Eakins, who could resist the temptation to see what they think ought to be rather than what is.
- Walt Whitman (1888-04-16), said in conversation with Horace Traubel and quoted by Traubel in With Walt Whitman in Camden (1906), vol. I.
- Thomas Eakins was a man of great character. He was a man of iron will and his will to paint and to carry out his life as he thought it should go. This he did. It cost him heavily but in his works we have the precious result of his independence, his generous heart and his big mind. Eakins was a deep student of life, and with a great love he studied humanity frankly. He was not afraid of what his study revealed to him.
- Robert Henri, open letter to the Art Students League, (1917-10-29).
- He was never interested in conventional beauty. Sober, pinched, reflective, lined and melancholy, his portraits remind us of that. But how many American artists said more about the sense of being in the world? Eakins was that extreme rarity, an artist who refused to tell a lie even in the service of his own imagination.
- Robert Hughes, "Thomas Eakins," Nothing If Not Critical: Selected Essays on Art and Artists (1990).

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Television musical series "Glee" will address the death of star Cory Monteith in the upcoming season, writing his character out of the show and touching on Monteith's real-life drug use, U.S. TV network Fox said on Thursday.
Monteith, who played high school jock-turned-show-choir-member Finn Hudson, died last month at age 31 in Vancouver from an accidental overdose of heroin and alcohol.
The actor's death has forced Fox to push back the show's fifth season premiere in September by one week as its writers rewrite episodes without Monteith's character.
"(The) third episode will deal with the Finn Hudson character being written out of the show," Kevin Reilly, chairman of entertainment at Fox, told reporters at a Television Critics Association meeting.
"I can't speak to it yet because (it's still being written). That episode will deal directly with the incidents involved in Cory's passing and the drug abuse in particular," Reilly said.
Monteith, who had an off-screen relationship with fellow "Glee" star Lea Michele, had struggled with substance abuse in the past and was in rehab as recently as April.
Reilly also said the "Glee" cast will record public service announcements about drug abuse that will air during the episode focused on Monteith.
The fifth season of "Glee" will begin on September 26 and could be one of the show's last, Reilly said.
"I would not anticipate it goes beyond two more seasons," he said.

The first is one thing addressed by the stream benchmark, but stream 1 at least doesn't really let you explore for arbitrary length vectors, so you can't see the effect of e.g. crossing cache boundaries with the length of the array. cpu_rate (discussed over the last couple of days) has a variable-length vector stream embedded, and has some other variable length memory tests as well. Including one that read, write accesses memory in a shuffled order that defeats most cache prefetch and so forth. It exhibits a dramatic latency difference, to say the least, when vector sizes cross the cache boundaries. I published cpu_rate results for various r/w tests including random access out of man memory a couple or three days ago on the list -- check the archives. > I know that in many systems to read a cache line from main memory take > between 1/10 to 1/20th of a micro seconds.

Whether or not you can see this depends very much on system state and you code -- that's one pretty safe conclusion from the random vs streaming tests mentioned above. On my Celeron laptop, for example, I measure about 60 nsec as an average time for totally random access (average of read and write, defeating the prefetch). The same test for streaming sequential r/w access produces about 10 ns. > If a CPU tries to write to local memory presumably it would be much quicker, > because the CPU does not have to wait for any response.

I'm not really this level of expert, so I'll leave these questions to people on the list that probably are. My >recollection< is that most memory management is >not< under program control unless you are willing to go to the assembler level and manipulate prefetch's. Otherwise you take what the compiler plus the CPU itself (which has its own prediction algorithms) give you.

I rarely get giddy for games but Death Worm is one of those that has literally garnered millions of downloads on iOS and Android. And now thanks to the power of Windows Phone 8, it is finally here for us to play. Sure, we're totally years behind but there are reasons why we're seeing these titles coming to our platform now: ease of porting, potential to make money.
So what is Death Worm? It's made by PlayCreek and it originally came out in 2010. Since then it's gone to become one of the most popular arcade style games around. In essence, you're a big fat killer worm that hides underground, occasionally busting out to eat people, elephants, camels, bust up tanks and take down helicopters. And that's just Level 1!
The game uses a classic virtual joystick that allows you to control the worm's direction and speed. Players can power-up with Nitro (temporary invincibility, higher jumping) or fireballs in addition to leveling up your worm's ability e.g. size, skin, speed, Nitro duration, etc.
It's a fun time waster with great graphics and a warped sense of humor aka our favorite kind of game.
The best part though is the ability to continuously save your progress on levels, so that you can just pick up and resume where you left off without having to restart the game. In that sense, you can just go on and on, switching between locales, gaining in-game achievements or going for the high score.
Unfortunately, there is no trial of this game, so you'll have to part with $1.99 in order to play it (see, when other platforms don't have "trials" it's hard to port that feature over to Windows Phone). Make sure you watch our video demo to get an idea if it's for you or not. Personally, we love it and give it a recommendation. Plus it's just great to see these studios branching out to Windows Phone.
Pick up Death Worm for $1.99 here in the Store or swipe right with our app. Windows Phone 8 only.

tsk tsk tsk..... Courses are required to be set up for the first round configuration a minimum of 48 hours prior to the start of the event forNational Tour Elite Series Events and 24 hours prior to the start of the event for SuperTours. In the case of temporary holesand/or courses where baskets are unavailable, the temporary configuration must be clearly marked...http://www.pdga.com/files/documents/2013_Tour_Standards.pdf
I will not have the complete CC set up until the week before. Most holes will be set in the CC placements, but not at all. Some holes have the red practice pin in the CC placment and the flags are longer for a longer option. I am sure CC players can handle that since PDGA players only expect the course set the week before NT or A tier events.
Seems to be a tougher setting than previous CCs? No?Not complaining, just pointing that out.
