What exactly IS an epidemic? We constantly hear this term when anything negative happens in the black community. Well according to dictionary dot com (not disease) it means extremely prevalent; widespread. The next definition is a rapid spread or increase in the occurrence of something.
Now I feel that the Derrion Albert death was totally ridiculous and callous occurrence. My problem is that these deaths which total 40, is far from an epidemic. Is it too many? Hell yes! But where were these CNN and other reporters or principals such as Steve Perry, who think they know all the answers or the rest who have so much to say all with little answers, back when there were 1 death, 2 deaths or 39 deaths?
We like to pick and choose what we label as out of control or epidemic. CNN has a story running right now on workplace violence which is overly represented by white society and they haven't once called it an epidemic. They say that homicide is 42% of all workplace deaths and that isn't an epidemic? Yet, somehow we are now having an epidemic after 40 deaths.
According to Harvard 45,000 people a year die because of lack of health care resulting in lack of medical attention. Isn't that an epidemic that we should be focusing on and crying about? And we ALL want to sit and focus on 40 teens. This is why this country is going to hell in a hand basket, and not a very nice looking one either. We are way too focused on keeping inequality with phony outrage.
It goes all the way back to the per capita versus full numbers game. We like to focus ALL of our attention on things with small numbers that don't affect us directly even though what DOES affect us with large numbers flies under the radar. Or we tend to look at the symptoms and never the root cause. Could we possibly be looking at the backlash from all the overwhelming poverty that black and other minority inner city children, adults and families have to deal with day in and day out?
We cry like the world is ending when the unemployment rate for the generic yet overwhelmingly white majority reaches 9%; yet could have cared less that the unemployment rate for blacks has been up over 10% for a very long time now. Maybe we should be concerned with ALL of our people. . . Oh! My bad! That would be socialism and thus bad. We all need to continue focusing on ourselves, even though it gets us nowhere.
OPEC is talking about dropping the dollar as the currency of their trade. And it makes me wonder if this whole concern with Chicago is just another distraction from the real issues. When the dollar is no longer the trade status of oil we are going to see a collapse of the dollar and then what? We know what happens when a country's currency collapses. Just look at Zimbabwe and that out of control inflation. Thousands of dollars for a loaf of bread.
And according to The Independent, "Iran announced late last month that its foreign currency reserves would henceforth be held in Euros rather than dollars. Bankers remember, of course, what happened to the last Middle East oil producer to sell its oil in Euros rather than dollars. A few months after Saddam Hussein trumpeted his decision, the Americans and British invaded Iraq." Are we going to end up in yet another war? And all we can focus on is this phony so called epidemic of black gang violence which has resulted in a whopping 40 dead.

I think the real take-home message is that this sort of fraction-of-theoretical-peak is useless, and you need to look at the actual numbers, possibly scaled by price. as a matter of fact, I'm always slightly puzzled by this sort of conversation. yes, crays and vector computers in general are big/wide memory systems with a light scattering of ALU's. a much different ratio than the "cache-based" computing world. but if your data is huge and uniform, don't you win big by partitioning (data or work grows as dim^2, but communication at partitions scaling much slower)? that would argue, for instance, that you should run on a cluster of e7205 machines, where each node delivers a bit more than the 200 Gflops above under $2k, and should scale quite nicely until your interconnect runs out of steam, say, several hundred CPUs. the point is really that stream-like codes are almost embarassingly parallel. so what's the cost per stream-triad gflop from Cray?

A Truth Journal: Petraeus Scandal: Funny Colbert Weighs In Why America Is In Financial Ruin: From Denny: Yeah, we all need a score card to keep up with the constantly unfolding Petraeus Affair of former CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus and his also married girlfriend, whom he has "known and mentored" for many years, Paula Broadwell.
Enter in the conniving loose cannon on deck, Jill Kelley, as former girlfriend to Petraeus and current girlfriend to Gen. John Allen, author of thousands of emails, and you have a real mess. It makes you wonder if Central Command is full of generals and chippies playing musical beds.
Both Broadwell and Kelley were busy girls. They were busy sleeping their way to the top of Central Command (CENTCOM) and possibly (strong probability) selling classified information. There is some compelling reason all involved have hired criminal lawyers, the best in the country. Of course, Petraeus is busy employing a public relations firm to rehab his name before the story ends. Who else commissions a Pew Poll to find out how much the public now hates you? Bizarre.
Proud to be a woman or a man with a tongue in cheek sense of humor? This design is for you! "Women invented guerrilla warfare" - and the Pentagon actually thought they were the first to invent it. Come on! :) Available in more products.

New York, February 13, 2012--The expulsion of prominent French journalist and author Anne Nivat from Russia today, on alleged violation of her visa status, indicates an increasingly restrictive environment for journalists in the lead-up to Russia's presidential election, said the Committee to Protect Journalists.
"We call on Russian authorities to allow Anne Nivat to return to the country and report on the important events in the run-up to March presidential elections without fear of reprisal," CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator Nina Ognianova said. "Canceling Nivat's business visa because she interviewed members of the Russian opposition is an unacceptable reprisal for doing her job as a journalist."
According to local press reports, authorities interrogated Nivat for four hours on Friday and informed her that she had violated the status of her business visa by meeting with the opposition. Authorities cancelled her visa and gave her three days to leave the country. Nivat, an expert on Russia's North Caucasus with years of experience reporting in Russia, had been conducting interviews for a new book.

Apartments are smaller living units that are designed for people who cannot afford a traditional mortgage or who requires limited living space. There are certain criteria that most people should be aware of when they decide to live within a rental unit. The main that people should remember is that choosing apartments is simple and easy when compared to trying to find a house.
People who are in search of an apartment should try and a find a unit that they can afford. People should only look for apartment units where the rent is not greater than 1/3 of their total monthly income. This is important for being able to make rental payments on time and establishing good rental history.
Renters should also select an apartment unit that is in a decent and safe location. A company called Trademark Residential offers excellent apartments. The location of an apartment complex is important for safety and security reasons and for having access to the surrounding community. Apartments that are situated in or near the central part of a city, typically offer renters easy access to stores, highways and schools. Many people also find units which are located near their place of employment. Renters that have to use public transportation to get around should consider finding a rental unit that is located near a bus or transit line.
Families or individuals who have kids should select the size of their unit based on the amount of children that they have. Single people who plan on living by themselves should select a one bedroom unit unless they need an extra room for space. Couples can also share a one bedroom unit as well. Parents with at least one child can live in a one bedroom unit if the child is five and under but once a child passes this age they should consider renting a unit with at least two bedrooms.
Families with two or more children should select a two bedroom unit. If a family has a boy and a girl who are minors they can share a second bedroom but as they grow older, parents will have to relocate their children to different rooms and a three bedroom unit might be best. People who have children who are of the same gender can set them up in the same room. Most families with two or more children should rent a two or three bedroom unit.
Sometimes apartment complexes will offer tenets extra perks or services. These services could include a laundry facility, exercise room, swimming pool, onsite party houses and free cable or WIFI. Most units have refrigerators and stove and some units are even furnished. People should always walk through an apartment unit before they decide to sign a lease to ensure that a place is in good condition and a secure place to live.

Phew! Google saves US netizens from Gov snoops
What's wrong with this headline?
Hurrah! Google has made the internet safe for US citizens! Or at least that was what the company implied late on Friday evening, after a federal judge ruled that the company didn't have to turn over a sample of anonymized search queries to the US Department of Justice, and only needed to provide a sampling of websites it searched.
"This is a clear victory for our users," Google said in a statement.
The DoJ had wanted the anonymized data to bolster its attempt to revive COPA, or the Child Online Protection Act, a 1998 law requiring site owners to restrict content, or access to content. In 2004 the Supreme Court agreed with an appellate court decision that the law violated the First Amendment.
It should be noted that Microsoft, AOL and Yahoo! meekly handed over the data without a fight. But the case was never about protecting the privacy of Google users - as no personal information was requested.
And ominously, the judge explained that there was no reason for Google to hand over the queries because the DoJ already had obtained what it wanted from Microsoft, AOL and Yahoo! who had supplied a week's worth of search queries, and a sample of million websites in their respective indices.
What should put this decision in its proper perspective is explained [subscription required] in this month's issue of article of The Atlantic, where investigative journalist and author James Bamford, whose 1983 book Puzzle Palace documented much of the work of the National Security Agency for the first time.
"Today the NSA has access to more information than ever before," Bamford reminds us.
"People express their most intimate thoughts in emails, send their tax returns over the internet, satisfy their curiosity and desires with Google searches, let their hair down in chat rooms, discuss every event over cell phones, make appointments with their BlackBerrys, and do business at Wi-Fi hot spots."
"NSA personnel ... have the ultimate goal of intercepting and reviewing every syllable and murmur zapping into, out of, or through the United States. They are close to achieving it." ®

Cocktails and Spirits with Paul Clarke: Keeping Cool with Swizzles, Juleps, and More
Weekly insight into the world of drinks with Paul Clarke from the Cocktail Chronicles and Imbibe magazine.
Get the Recipe
Last night around 11 p.m., after the heat had nibbled at the 100-degree mark in Seattle and while my house was still in the toasty mid-80s (we're not much on air conditioning here in the Pacific Northwest), I decided that while the fan was doing the best job it could in keeping me from melting into a puddle on the couch, stronger action was needed. Fortunately I'd had the foresight to stock up on ice to take the edge off the heat wave we're experiencing, so I broke out the crusher and prepared a nuclear-gauge heat buster: a Queen's Park Swizzle.
I wrote about the drink last fall, to coincide with a story on ice I'd written for Imbibe magazine (and the New York Times recently threw some love in the swizzle's direction), but summer is the best time to appreciate the family of drinks that includes swizzles, juleps, smashes, and other relatives. The factor these drinks share is this: they're built around a foundation of crushed ice, which ideally should be packed into the glass to maximize the cooling effects and to prolong the drink's lifespan. During a heat wave, these drinks can maintain their temperature longer and keep a drink colder than a standard highball that simply uses cubes.
That swizzles and juleps are typically associated with warmer climates—and both predate the advent of air conditioning—is testament to their utility as summer coolers. Both also traditionally utilize fresh mint (a defining element in a julep and a common though not required ingredient in swizzles), which contributes an extra touch of cooling sensation, and a preparation technique meant to build frost on the outside of the glass or cup. In swizzles, which are typically rum-based and hail from the Caribbean, the ice is packed in the glass with the other ingredients and the mixture is traditionally blended with a lele twig—a kind of multi-pronged stick that is the original swizzle stick. The twig is rapidly rotated in the drink by spinning the twig between the palms of the hands, which both mixes the drink and drops its temperature rapidly to slow the rate of dilution. Swizzles, juleps and smashes also benefit from using slightly higher-proof spirits, so the drink maintains some degree of firepower and doesn't become bland and over-diluted as the ice gradually melts (and, unlike highballs and related drinks such as the mojito, swizzles and juleps typically have no club soda or other fizzy mixtures added, though there are some exceptions); rather, the drink's flavor deepens as it is leisurely sipped.
Ice is a big topic of conversation in the cocktail world (need proof? Look at this experiment), and as July segues into August, swizzles and juleps and other crushed-ice delivery mechanisms can be some of your best liquid friends. What are your favorite drinks to beat the heat?

At least one of every five phone calls now made is a robocall, and many are the work of scammers. You may hate these automated annoyances, but scammers love them: They're cheap, far-reaching and hard to trace. No surprise that the Federal Trade Commission receives some 200,000 complaints about these calls each month.
Here's what you need to know:
1. If they're selling, assume they're scamming. Fraudsters may tout "free" in their recorded messages, but ask yourself this: Since when do legitimate businesses spend time and money to offer no-cost goods and services to strangers with no strings attached?
Keep that in mind the next time you're offered a "free" medical device by AARP or others. The same applies to promises of free or discounted home alarms, medications and vacations, or offers to lower your credit card or mortgage rate.
>> Slideshow: Top Scams to Avoid
Unless you have previously provided written permission to a company, telemarketing (aka "sales") messages are illegal. The exceptions: political messages for a candidate or party position, and charities to solicit donations (but you're safer making donations on your own, not in response to robocalls).
2. If it's not personal, it's probably a scam. Unlike personalized reminder calls from doctor's offices, or road- and school-closing announcements affecting your area, scam robocall campaigns do not mention your name or other personal identifiers.
That's because your phone number is typically arbitrarily selected (among thousands or millions of others) to receive the same message. Scammers simply select a pool of phone numbers – say, dial X phone numbers starting and ending with certain digits (an area code, prefix or ending four digits) – and computerized systems take over. The autodialers, like the scammers, usually don't know who owns those numbers or if they're working. And neither machine nor scammer knows or cares if your number is on the Do Not Call Registry.
3. Don't let "local" numbers lure you. Because many folks are smart enough not to pick up the phone when caller ID displays a number they don't recognize, scammers have upped their game by using technology that allows them to spoof local numbers. For instance, I receive several scam robocalls per day – pitching medical-alert devices and interest-rate-lowering ploys – that falsely display the same phony number, which differs from my own phone number by only the last digit.
Also be wary of "legitimate" numbers; the IRS' number is being used in a scam alleging that you owe back taxes and face arrest or other hardships unless you immediately pay up. (In truth, government agencies use U.S. mail for official business.) Of course, any incoming call that displays "private," "unknown," or 999-9999 or a similar sequence should be considered a likely scam.
4. Don't help them harass you. Unless you are confirming a reminder from a health care provider or other expected robocall, your best defense is to simply hang up. Never provide sensitive information – even a name and certainly not a credit card.
Don't follow instructions to make a numeric selection to "opt out" or be transferred to someone (if only to complain about being on the Do Not Call Registry). Pressing any key logs your number as working and confirms that a human has answered, making you even more vulnerable for future calls.
>> Get travel discounts with your AARP Member Advantages.
And if there are a few seconds of dead silence after you say "Hello," the call is likely from a telemarketing center using "predictive dialing" technology, through which a computer dials multiple phone numbers over a short period. When you answer, the computer is meant to quickly transfer you to an available telemarketer, and the usual sales pitch follows. But if all sales reps are occupied with other calls, you hear nothing. Again, sales calls are illegal and are often scams.
What can you do to stop the scam calls?
Although it's unlikely you can stop all scam robocalls, you can curb the flow. If you have an Internet-based (VoIP) phone service (think Verizon FiOS vs. regular Verizon), visit http://www.nomorobo.com/signup. If you don't have VoIP, call your carrier and request that it support the Nomorobo feature.
You can also ask your phone service provider to block robocall numbers; don't pay for this service, though, because scammers frequently change the numbers they use for display on recipients' caller ID.
And even though most caller ID-displayed numbers in robocalls are fake (or stolen from legitimate entities), report them to ftc.gov/complaint or call 1-888-382-1222. This really does help the FTC better identify violators, make undercover purchases of scamming products and services, and bring action against fraudsters.

As debate over the Affordable Care Act swirls in Washington, insurance officials this week agreed to allow South Carolina's only individual plan on the state's ACA exchange to raise its premiums 31 percent next year.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina initially asked for a 33.4 percent increase, saying this year's premiums did not generate nearly enough to cover the insurer's claims, taxes and administrative expenses.
INDIAN LAND – A Lancaster County Council committee is targeting a 2,200-square-foot space at The Commons of Doby's Bridge as a possible site for satellite county government offices in the Panhandle.
The strip center is at 8451 Charlotte Highway, just past the Gate station on U.S. 521 North.
"It has come at a very opportune time that we didn't know about before," said County Attorney John Weaver, who has been scouting for an Indian Land location since May.
Lancaster City Council voted 5-2 Tuesday night to appoint Brenda Thompson to the Lancaster City Housing Authority Board.
She will fill the position left open by the July 20 resignation of board member Lorenzo Small. Mayor John Howard and council member Hazel Taylor cast the dissenting votes.
"I've been wanting to serve the Lancaster community for some time," Thompson said. "And this is an opportunity for me to give back to the community."
Now that the S.C. Supreme Court has upheld the Lancaster City Council District 3 election results, affected parties are discussing how to prevent or shorten future such controversies.
The ideas include:
◆ Getting the S.C. legislature to change municipal election laws to mirror the statutes for county and state elections, which allow more initial time to resolve disputes.
Before giving the measure final approval Tuesday night, the Lancaster County Council reduced the new stormwater fee for Panhandle homeowners from $75 to $60 a year.
The fee will be added to upcoming tax bills and applies to the area from S.C. 5 north to the county line. That portion of the county (Indian Land) is now considered to be in Charlotte's urban area, with more than 1,000 residents per square mile.
Nine candidates filed for the four town council seats in Van Wyck's upcoming inaugural election, but just one person signed up to be mayor – Sean Corcoran.
Corcoran, 42, was one of three incorporation commissioners who led the last stages of the organizing effort.
An attorney at the law firm Brock & Scott in Charlotte, he said Tuesday he was surprised no one else filed for the mayor's job – and that so many people jumped into the council race.
In a unanimous opinion late Thursday, the S.C Supreme Court affirmed Linda Blackmon's election to the Lancaster City Council's District 3 seat, which had been held up since last November by a legal challenge from her opponent.
"I feel amazing…. It's been tough," said Blackmon, who beat incumbent Jackie Harris in the Nov. 8 election by a 281-225 vote.
The Supreme Court's decision, issued as an administrative opinion, upholds Circuit Judge Brian Gibbons' Feb. 16 ruling that allowed the election results to stand.
The quest for much-needed space has Lancaster County officials eyeing a plan that would move the county library and S.C. Department of Social Services to the Springs Block in downtown Lancaster.
"We like seeing people downtown," said Lancaster County Council Chairman Steve Harper. "It's definitely a great idea."
The plan was included in a capital-needs report reviewed at Monday night's county council meeting.
Panhandle residents might get some sort of satellite county government offices in the not-so-distant future.
Lancaster County Council directed staff Monday night to flesh out the concept of leasing office space in Indian Land.
"From a customer-service standpoint, it's something we need to do, but we are under financial constraints," said Lancaster County Administrator Steve Willis.
It didn't take Lancaster County Councilman Brian Carnes long Monday night to vent his frustration over the proposed stormwater ordinance that would add $75 to the tax bills of Panhandle homeowners.
Before the third and final reading on the ordinance, council members were presented a number of changes to the proposal, but had no time to study the 30-page document.
An indignant Carnes immediately made a motion to postpone the final reading of the controversial ordinance until Sept. 11. The public hearing was held as scheduled Monday.

NEWPORT County AFC manager Justin Edinburgh has called on the people of Newport to dig deep and back the boys as project promotion enters a crucial phase.
The Exiles moved to within six points of the play-off places with victory over third-placed Oxford United on Tuesday night.
And tomorrow's clash with Cheltenham Town is the second of five successive home matches that Edinburgh hopes will propel his team into the top seven once again.
The surface at Rodney Parade has begun to look like the trenches of World War One at times over the past few months and Edinburgh wants his players and the fans to keep the home fires burning until May.
"The performance and the result the other night gave the boys a big lift and it's one that we needed," said the Exiles boss.
"We take that into Saturday now and it gives us a chance to get a bit of momentum going and try to claw back ground on the teams above us.
"Hopefully the crowd will turn out in great numbers again and give us their vocal support.
"I think we're going to need that more than we did on Tuesday because it's not as high profile a game but we need to keep churning out the results at home.
"We've made Rodney Parade a fortress since we've been there and our aim is to continue that for the rest of the season.
He added: "I know it's difficult financially at the moment and it's half term coming up as well so this is an extra expense but we hope people can stretch to as many games as they can.
"I appreciate that it will be difficult for people to attend every game but whoever does come we need them to get behind the team as they always do."
Edinburgh believes that the patched up surface with sand covering much of one corner and one of the goalmouths will work to his players' advantage.
"We've got a few tired legs after Tuesday from running in the sandpit," he said. "It is heavy but I think the advantage we have is that we'll be used to it because we'll be playing a lot of games on it.
"We'll hopefully be able to adapt quicker than the opposition."
Harry Worley is still suspended for tomorrow's match but Ismail Yakubu, Byron Anthony and Chris Zebroski all came through Tuesday unscathed.
"Byron is a little bit stiff but Zeb has amazed me," said Edinburgh. "He was tireless and he has trained fully with no ill effects, as has Ismail so we've got no problems."

Predictive Sessions
By Frank Horwill
Specific track sessions can predict subsequent performances with up to 95% accuracy. The old Soviet Kosmin Test requires the athlete to run for 60 seconds flat out and stop. Then, after three minutes rest, starting from where the 60 seconds run expired, running for another 60 seconds flat out. An athlete who covers 950m distance from the two combined runs will be assured of running 1.44.2 for 800m; 900m will predict 1.50.3; 850m covered will predict 1.56.2, and 800m will forecast 2.02.2. (This table is not valid for female athletes).
The other great predictor for 1,500m times is 2 x (1 x 400m + 1 x 800m + 1 x 300m). The recovery periods are 45 seconds, 90 seconds and 3 minutes respectively. If the accumulated time of the first set is 4 minutes (64 + 2.08 + 48) and the accumulated time of the second is 4 min 15 secs (68 + 2.16 + 51), the average of the two is 4.07.5, which is the predicted 1,500m time.
The great forecaster of 5km times is 4 x 1,600m with 90 seconds recovery. If the average for the 1,600ms is taken, this will be the subsequent 5km pace. 4.10.5 average = 12min 55. 4.16 = 13 min 11. (This is what one of my athletes averaged when running 13 min 11 to come 4th in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic 5km); 4.20 = 13 min 30; 4.30 = 13 min 58.

Caltrans Employee Killed in the Line of Duty
Butte County – A Caltrans maintenance employee was killed last night on Highway 99 north of Chico.
At 11:45 p.m. on Sunday evening, Caltrans Maintenance Leadworker Gary W. Smith, 57, was struck by a vehicle while assisting with a road closure that was set up due to an earlier fatal collision.
Smith started his career with Caltrans in 1978, and spent the vast majority of his career at the Chico Maintenance Station. Smith was planning to retire at the end of December. He is survived by his wife of 33 years, Sue, and his 25-year-old son, Gary.
"Caltrans is mourning this tremendous loss that the Smith family and their friends have suffered," said Caltrans Director Cindy McKim. "Working on the California highway system should not be a life or death situation. This tragic incident is a reminder that Caltrans workers like Gary put their lives on the line every day, and we will be forever grateful for their service and dedication."
Caltrans reminds motorists to drive with caution and always to "Slow for the Cone Zone."

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
The story Gary Jacobson and I put together on the luxury real estate investments of the Dallas Police and Fire Pension System was published at 10:50 Saturday night. Pension administrator Richard Tettamant typed this message on his iPhone and sent it out at 12:16 a.m. Sunday to the pension board and some of his staffers:
The luxury home article is out.
So the Mayor thinks we are doing it wrong along with our expert reporters. You know the reporters have three whole months experience. I think the point of the story is that we should invest just like everyone else, never deviate from norms, take mediocre returns and check with the Mayor and the Dallas Morning News prior to determining any investment especially those outside the norm.
Of course the Mayor and the News did not mention about the $4 million per year the staff has saved by internally managing these few properties.
They included our cost values including our written down values on many of the properties, so this may dramatically negatively effect our ability to sell anything above the now public written down price for the near future.
They do make it sound as if we are doing something wrong that we are not. They have confused the development portfolio that mainly CDK runs that is kept at cost unless there is a market reason to reprice an asset down. We hardly ever see that a development such as So7 is written up during development it is kept at cost, it may be written down though. Of the $400 million they include $200 million of Museum Tower as part of our luxury portfolio.
BUT a lot of good news did make it into the story. Our returns and they did mention our long term point of view.
Thanks to all on the investment team who helped. Thanks to the Board for putting up with this new media intrigue, also thanks to the consultants who helped including Rebecca, Barbara, Gary and others.

Kernel mode setting
Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) is a method for setting display resolution and depth in the kernel space rather than user space.
KMS enables native resolution in the framebuffer and allows for instant console (tty) switching. KMS also enables newer technologies (such as DRI2) which will help reduce artifacts and increase 3D performance, even kernel space power-saving.
As of December 12th, 2010, the intel, nouveau and radeon drivers support KMS for all chipsets. KMS is also enabled automatically for these drivers. The proprietary NVIDIA and ATI Catalyst drivers do not support KMS.
Previously, setting up the video card was the job of the X server. Because of this, it was not easily possible to have fancy graphics in virtual consoles. Also, each time a switch from X to a virtual console was made (Ctrl+Alt+F1), the server had to give control over the video card to the kernel, which was slow and caused flickering. The same "painful" process happened when the control was given back to the X server (Ctrl+Alt+F7).
With Kernel Mode Setting (KMS), the kernel is now able to set the mode of the video card. This makes fancy graphics during bootup, virtual console and X fast switching possible, among other things.
KMS is a new technology which is still considered experimental at this time due to its incomplete support for all video cards. It is usable and stable for many, but as with all newer software, the possibility of bugs exists.
Note that for any method you use, you should always disable any "vga=" options in your bootloader as these will conflict with the native resolution enabled by KMS. Also make sure to disable any "video=" lines that enable a framebuffer that conflicts with the driver. Any other framebuffer drivers (such as uvesafb) must also be disabled before enabling KMS.
My fonts are too tiny
See changing the default font for how change your console font to a large font. One font available from [extra] that is available in many sizes, including larger sizes, is the Terminus font.
Issue upon Bootloading and dmesg
If you see an error code of 0x00000010 (2) while booting up, (You will get about 10 lines of text, the last part denoting that error code), then add
options drm_kms_helper poll=0
Into /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
Forcing modes
From the nouveau wiki:
A mode can be forced on the kernel command line. Unfortunately, the command line option video is poorly documented in the DRM case. Bit and pieces on how to use it can be found in
- http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6/tree/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt
- http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c
The format is: video=<conn>:<xres>x<yres>[M][R][-<bpp>][@<refresh>][i][m][eDd]
- <conn>: Connector, e.g. DVI-I-1, see your kernel log.
- <xres> x <yres>: resolution
- M: compute a CVT mode?
- R: reduced blanking?
- -<bpp>: color depth
- @<refresh>: refresh rate
- i: interlaced (non-CVT mode)
- m: margins?
- e: output forced to on
- d: output forced to off
- D: digital output forced to on (e.g. DVI-I connector)
You can override the modes of several outputs using "video" several times, for instance, to force DVI to 1024x768 at 85 Hz and TV-out off: video=DVI-I-1:1024x768@85 video=TV-1:d

The 2014 Mazda3 represents the third and possibly most important of Mazda's new SkyActiv models. Implementing a new, holistic approach to efficiency, Mazda seeks to become a relevant player in the global market, and if any one single model will get it there, it's the automaker's bread-and-butter Mazda3. But competing with heavyweights such as the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Ford Focus, Volkswagen Jetta, and Hyundai Elantra, the 2014 Mazda3 has no small task at hand. Then again, Mazda has sort of always done its own thing. Rather than deviate from that model, it's trying to update it for future generations, creating a premium niche within its segment.
The 2014 Mazda3 is powered by a choice of two four-cylinder engines, a 2.0-liter good for 155 horsepower and a 2.5-liter engine capable of 184 hp. Most shockingly, the larger, more expensive engine gets almost identical fuel economy as the 2.0-liter. Buyers will also have a choice of a six-speed automatic or manual transmission. Our tester was equipped with the 2.0-liter engine paired to a six-speed automatic transmission and delightfully came in the five-door, hatchback body. Most impressively, the 2014 Mazda3 equipped as such gets an EPA-estimated 29 mpg city/40 mpg highway/33 mpg combined. Add a new 7-inch media screen that replaces the 5.8-inch we've seen in the 2014 Mazda6 and 2014 Mazda CX-5, and things continue to get interesting. What else is new? What do we think of the new Mazda3? You can read on to learn more.
Walking up to the 2014 Mazda3 hatchback, you get a sense of an athletic, sleek, and nimble car. Employing the automaker's newest "Kodo" design language, the Mazda3 looks like an animal waiting to leap. Designers set out to give you a sense of tension, of force being held back, and the muscular styling can easily fool you in to forgetting the 2014 Mazda3 2.0-liter gets 40 mpg highway. Drawn back headlights, a sloping windshield, and prominent grille all give the impression of a sporty, fun car, and continue the feel of motion suspended.
Sitting Down
While we loved the previous Mazda3, we felt the interior was nice, albeit plain. For 2014 Mazda upped the ante, especially in the upper-level Mazda3 i Grand Touring we tested: a dash-mounted 7-inch media screen and scroll-knob are reminiscent of features we've seen in luxury makes such as Audi. High-quality two-tone leatherette—seemingly an oxymoron, but it works really well here—hugs the seats, while the steering wheel is wrapped in real leather. Brushed metal elements are present throughout the cabin, and similar buttons and climate controls that we saw on the Mazda6 have happily made their way down to the 2014 Mazda3 as well.
Overall the interior has a clean, simple, and modern feel. Rear-seat passengers will find generous room as well, although Corolla, Sentra, or Civic shoppers might hardly agree, and cargo space is sufficient, though the seats can be folded to allow for more room.
While the 2.5-liter engine adds a considerable 29 hp, we found that when paired with the transmission, we were never short of power with the 2.0-liter engine. This wasn't the case with this same engine on the CX-5, where the automatic transmission—in an effort to achieve the best possible fuel economy—consistently opts for a higher gear. You can mitigate this by shifting yourself with the paddles or shifter in the automatic transmission, and keeping the car in lower gears. This of course will ding your fuel economy numbers, but will likely up the fun factor considerably.
Engineers went to great length to make the steering intuitive, and by and large, succeeded. The suspension is sporty but the ride is still comfortable. The 2.0-liter Mazda3 isn't particularly fast, but it has all the power you'll need to get you around. The 3's famous cornering and handling capability have been thankfully maintained, and the 2014 Mazda3 continues to be the driver's car in the compact segment.
The 2014 Mazda3 plays in one of the toughest segments in America, and after testing the automaker's new SkyActiv bread-and-butter model, we're keen to think it only makes the segment that much tougher. With added style inside and out, a choice of two engines and excellent transmissions, and a lot of standard equipment, the Mazda3 adds value to its driver's car credentials.
Available in both sedan and hatchback body styles, there's seemingly a Mazda3 to suit all tastes. While the 2.0-liter engine served us well, we'd consider getting the 2.5-liter engine that we've sampled on the Mazda6. With almost identical fuel economy, there's a lot of upside for a relatively small premium. But regardless of which engine you opt for, if you're shopping the compact car segment, the 2014 Mazda3 is a must-consider.

Richard Littlemore | March 2, 2010
By Richard Littlemore • Tuesday, March 2, 2010 - 10:52
Joe Romm at Climate Progress does a wonderful job here of deconstructing the insensible blathering of AccuWeather long-range forecaster Joe Bastardi, a man who dismisses climate change as "this red herring of an issue."
Amid his ravings, Bastardi complains that "many of the high circles out there with alphabet soup in front of their names" consider him "stupid," a contention that Romm generously refutes, saying:
"For the record, I don't think he's stupid. Stupid people rarely rise to a position of influence necessary to cause as much damage as Bastardi does."
Romm is right about so much, it seems churlish to argue with him on so trivial a point. But read Romm's post and ask yourself: If Bastardi doesn't suffer from terminal stupidity, what other pathology could explain his twisted position on climate science?
What olcanic eruption?
Bastardi mentions " as the warm Arctic and blocking are not a result of the el nino, but probably the excess SO2 shot into the Arctic atmosphere (the stratosphere) by major high latitude volcanoes" There has not been a major high latitude eruption producing SO2 at high latitudes Reviewing the list at http://www.volcano.si.edu/reports/bulletin/contents.cfm?issue=3411 - So what is the supposed origin?

David Phillips
Richard for years, I have listen to David Phillips Senior Climatologist for Environment Canada go out of his way to say this weather event was not caused by climate change and that weather event was not caused by climate change. Fine you can't pin any particular event on Climate Change. But for a "Senior Climatologist" I've never once heard him discuss Climate Change. As the mouthpiece of weather/climate in Canada and someone the media go to regularly what the hell is his problem?
Joe is both stupid and dishonest
Accuweather is a nest of deniers and tea-partiers who'd love to see Sarah get to be president so that the gov't-owned National Weather Service would be disbanded (The owner of AccuWeather actually tried but failed to do just that under Dumbya). That way, the American public would have to get all it's weather information…for a price of course…from AccuWeather. Great scam eh, if I must say so. I've been leaving comments on their global warming blog for about a year now. I think they've banned me because they say I'm a member of a cult(ask me if I care).

Nail, meet hammer
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. This is the charitable way to explain Bastardi.
Is AccuWeatherGuy Joe Bastardi Stupid or Dishonest?
Short answer:
probably both.

Saving AIDS Conferences Online: Interview with Sister Mary Elizabeth, Founder of AEGiS
November 23, 2004
A note from TheBody.com: The field of medicine is constantly evolving. As a result, parts of this article may be outdated. Please keep this in mind, and be sure to visit other parts of our site for more recent information!
AEGiS (www.aegis.org, AIDS Education Global Information System) has provided a huge library of AIDS information free to the world for over 12 years. Just one of its projects puts AIDS conference abstracts online, when no one else has done so. Even in today's computer age some of the scientific presentations at major AIDS meetings may have already been lost to history. After the conference ends, people go home and offices close, and often no one takes responsibility to make sure that the abstracts are online -- and that they are available to major databases such as the U.S. National Library of Medicine, so that future researchers can do one search for their topic of interest (instead of having to search dozens of different conferences separately with different search rules and limitations, which in practice seldom happens).
AEGiS, besides making available AIDS news from sources around the world, has worked with the National Library of Medicine to post missing information on its site, www.aegis.org, and at NLM. On October 22, 2004, AIDS Treatment News interviewed its founder and director of operations, Sister Mary Elizabeth.
AIDS Treatment News: How long do conferences usually keep scientific or medical abstracts and other conference information online after the meeting ends?
Sister Mary Elizabeth: Our experience here is that conferences could disappear anywhere from six months to three years after being held. It depends on the organization. And many of the conferences never showed up on the Web. So we look around to find people who might have a copy of the abstracts and put them online.
ATN: What is your experience with getting permission to do so?
Mary Elizabeth: Some of the organizations have been extremely cooperative. International Medical Press has given us the file when we asked. Usually it is a flat PDF file, and we go through and extract all the abstracts from it. They have checked back in their records to find some of the older conferences for us and sent them too, with a note giving us permission to archive and distribute them. They have been wonderful to work with.
Others have been less cooperative. With the International AIDS Society, it was hard to get anybody to respond. But then it changed the copyright notice on its Web site, giving permission to reproduce the conferences for non-commercial purposes. That opened the door for us.
And the Retroviruses conference has never responded to any of our letters asking for permission. But these abstracts are available in the National Library of Medicine's AIDSLINE, which we have licensed since the early '90s.
The British HIV Association approached us about carrying their abstracts. These are relatively small conferences, but they put out some very valuable information. They sent us the abstracts of the 10th conference, and we posted those. And when I requested back issues of conferences, they responded almost immediately and sent us the 7th, 8th, and 9th, which we started archiving today.
ATN: What does AEGiS have that U.S. National Library of Medicine does not?
Mary Elizabeth: We have a number of conferences that the National Library of Medicine has not yet added. For example, we have the 8th and 9th European AIDS conference, and the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th British HIV Association conferences.
We also added the 4th and 5th International Workshop on Adverse Drug Reactions and Lipodystrophy in HIV. The 6th Lipodystrophy is being loaded this week. Additionally, we have added the 12th and 13th International HIV Drug Resistance Workshops, and the 5th and 6th International Congress Drug Therapy in HIV Infection (Glasgow) conferences. Thomson ACUMED staff are working to get us the 7th conference, scheduled for mid-November.
To the best of my knowledge, NLM had not yet incorporated any of these into the NLM Gateway. AEGiS staff is providing them copies of all source files, as well as our finished product, and although I cannot speak for NLM, I believe these meeting abstracts will eventually be incorporated into their database.
I should mention that Lippincott has the copyright on the earlier Glasgow conferences (International Congress on Drug Therapy in HIV Infection). They gave us permission to post the 5th conference, and Rachel Day recently wrote that she had found a copy of number 4. I'm still negotiating on this one.
ATN: Can our readers help find missing conferences? Maybe someone has a printed copy or a CD-ROM of an early meeting on their shelves, for a conference that is not now available online anywhere in the world.
Mary Elizabeth: Some of the early conferences did distribute printed books, but nobody to my knowledge has them, not even the National Library of Medicine. And the International AIDS Society told me that they do not have some of their earlier conferences, not even a printed copy in their library. Some of these may be lost forever. Or maybe a reader of this article knows where a printed or CD-ROM copy of one of these conferences can be found.
We are also still hunting for the Glasgow conferences 1, 2, and 3. Sometimes you see a Google reference to these, because there may be a single abstract online, or a mention in an article. Our goal is to find as many of the missing conferences as we can, and get them into the archive where they are available to the world. [See "Missing Conferences List: Can You Find Any of These?" below.]
If anyone reading this has or knows of a copy (print or electronic) of one of these conferences that we might be able to borrow, please call me at AEGiS, 949-248-5843; our hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Or you could mail us at AEGiS, 32234 Paseo Adelanto, Suite B, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675-3622. After we find the material we negotiate with the copyright holder for permission to publish it.
ATN: Also, could you explain the problem with the tables in published conference abstracts?
Mary Elizabeth: If you look at the National Library of Medicine's Pub Med or Gateway databases, when the abstract contains data in a table, often there is a note, "See printed abstract." That works if you have access to the printed abstract, but otherwise you are out of luck. Apparently the NLM software does not handle tables well. We put the tables in, making each abstract a separate file in XHTML format, and people can read the tables on AEGiS.
ATN: Also, explain how other Web sites can link to the abstracts on AEGiS, but often not at the U.S. National Library of Medicine. This hurts the dissemination of scientific information, because online journals or other publication cannot link to abstracts that they reference.
Mary Elizabeth: The NLM Gateway [the database that has most of the AIDS conferences] as currently designed does not give you a URL that you can use to link to the abstract. NLM is trying to resolve this problem.
NLM's Pub Med uses a different search engine, and you are able to link to abstracts. But now most of the conference abstracts are no longer included in Pub Med. They were separated out and put into the Gateway.
ATN: How can people help AEGiS? Can you give readers an idea of the budget?
Mary Elizabeth: The whole AEGiS project runs on a little over $200,000 per year, and money is tight, so a contribution matters. Tax-deductible contributions can be made by credit card or check. Just click the "Donate Now" button on any page at www.aegis.org.
Fundraising from our users is difficult because people pay to get on the Internet, so they tend to think everything is free or should be free, or that they have already paid for it. They don't tend to give much thought to the expense of maintaining a Web site.
AEGiS is run on a budget that is a fraction of similar Web sites. Although AEGiS receives a number of grants to support its operations, user support is required for financial needs not met by the grants. The bottom line is that AEGiS is often stretched to capacity, in both funding and staff. This often results in publication delays, forcing us to make difficult decisions.
ATN: How many records does AEGiS now have online?
Mary Elizabeth: We have somewhat more than 1.1 million records right now -- abstracts, full-text news articles, journal articles from the AIDS organizations like Gay Men's Health Crisis (www.gmhc.org); HIV i-Base (www.i-base.info) out of the UK, we carry their treatment bulletin; BETA (www.sfaf.org/beta); AIDS Weekly (www.newsrx.com/product_descriptions/all_list.htm), which would cost $1,500 a year for a subscription, but they graciously allow us to post two major articles of our choice each week, and permanently archive them, going back to around 1995 now. We get AFP (www.afp.com/english/home), which would cost $75,000 a year; they make it available to us in five languages, English, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese. Reuters and Associated Press would each cost $5,000 a month if AEGiS were paying for them. We have been fortunate to get these in-kind donations.
Some organizations, including RITA (www.centerforaids.org/rita), HIV i-Base (www.i-base.info), AmfAR (www.amfar.org), CATIE (www.catie.ca/e/pubs), and of course AIDS Treatment News (www.aidsnews.org) were glad to have us carry their material. Some we had to fight with to get, like BETA many years ago. Then the late Tomas Fabrigas became our advocate on the board, and they finally gave us permission, after a big article in the San Francisco Examiner about the battle.
Some of the early issues of CATIE were mimeographed and did not scan very well, so we had to type them in.
ATN: Where could our readers learn about the history of AEGiS?
Mary Elizabeth: They can probably find more history in the newspaper articles that have been written about us over the years, than from our material. Go into the search engine at www.aegis.org and search for "Sister Mary Elizabeth" (quotes not necessary), and you will get all the articles. There are more than 30 now, all the way back to the time before the Web, when we were a BBS (computer bulletin-board system). You can also find some history in our "About AEGiS" section.
Our hope has been that archiving some of the old scientific reports, even back from the 1980s on projects that did not pan out, could help future research. Some researcher now may read one of those abstracts or articles and say, "I can see why it failed -- but if they had gone this other route ..." opening a whole new chain of investigation. And maybe even finding a cure.
Missing Conferences List -- Can You Find Any of These?Here are the major AIDS conferences that, as far as we know, do not have their abstracts available online anywhere in the world, and do not have even a paper copy at the U.S. National Library of Medicine, or at the sponsor or publisher that organized the meeting. Probably most of these collections still exist somewhere, on library, university, company, or personal shelves. Others may already have been lost forever.
[Note: The last two, the Lipodystrophy and Resistance workshops, are technically supplements of the journal Antiviral Therapy. But that does not mean they are available. Even if it is called a supplement, often just enough copies are printed to give to those who attend the meeting, and then they are gone.]
If you know of a copy of any conference on this list that AEGiS might be able to borrow, call Sister Mary Elizabeth at 949-248-5843, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays Pacific time. Or you could write her at AEGiS, 32234 Paseo Adelanto, Suite B, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675-3622.

Monday Morning Standings – Round 2
And no rest for the wicked…round 2 starts tonight!
Round 1 of these playoffs had to have been the most exciting since the legendary spring of '06. Only thing that would have made it better was if Chi-town could have finished that amazing comeback. Round 2 will need to be epic to match that awesomeness…but with a Bruins/Flyers series and Red Wings/Sharks series it should be pretty good.
Anyways, I'll try and force Racki to put up another prediction post, but if not I'm picking Detroit, Nashville, Washington and Philadelphia all in 6 games. In the last prediction post, I nailed the east (maybe missed the number of games here and there) but absolutely booted the west…maybe I should start watching more western conference games! Damn eastern biases.
EDITED BY RACKI: Since I'm too lazy to put up another prediction post, I will pick the following:
Predators in 6, Detroit in 6, Washington in 5, Philadelpha in 7… exactly what I went with in HL's pool.
Nothing new on the Oilers front except for some picks being signed to ELC's. Can't wait for the draft.
Wait! Eberle and Dubnyk are playing for Canada at the WC. Eberle got a point in the exhibition against France while Dubnyk looked a little shaky from what I saw of the highlights. Lets go Canada!
The rest of the MMS:
In other league news, lots of suspensions and questionable hits this playoff round. I don't know if it is just the fact that we are looking for it now, but I think this is the most suspensions in a playoff round that has been handed out ever (Kunitz, Downie, Ryan, Stoll, and Ruutu (does Cooke count); plus Torres, Lucic, Richards and Bickell all had close calls).
I also love how no one in Vancouver will ever have faith in Luongo ever again…even his coach. Well played Vigneault. Oh, and Gillis is a little whining bitch.
How awesome is Bolland…while out the Canucks (and Sedins) looked unstoppable…he comes in and single-handedly shuts them down while putting up mad points.
Penner didn't have the greatest playoffs. Sometimes some players just work out for certain teams and not others…look how often the Oilers are on the other side of that trade. Maybe this shows how our luck is starting to turn?
Bobby Ryan goal…holy shit. Again, work sucks so I can't link to it, but google it. Wow.
Datsyuk…his whole playoff series. Wow.
Ference gives the Habs fans the finger…awesome.
Bryzgalov hates Winnipeg. At least Edmonton won't be the asshole of the league anymore. Thanks Winnipeg!
And finally (I think), the league signed a 2 billion dollar/10 year deal with NBC/Versus. This works out to 200 mil per year which is up from the 78 mil per of the current deal.
Some trophy nominations have been put out too:
– Luongo
– Rinne
– Thomas (My pick for winner, just because of the record season)
– Emery (My pick for winner)
– Laperriere
– Langkow
– Lidstrom
– Chara
– Weber (My pick for winner…dude is a beast and that is one righteous beard already)
– Lidstrom (my pick for winner…D never wins and Lidstrom deserves this year after year)
– St. Louis
– Eriksson
– Toews (my pick for the win)
– Datsyuk
– Kesler
GM of the Year:
– Yzerman (My pick for winner)
– Gillis
– Poile
– Couture
– Grabner
– Skinner (My pick for winner)
Now some pool news: Picks gotta be in for both Hemmerlady's and the POTF sportsnet pools ASAP. Again, passwords for both are potf and the CBC one is called "Hemmerlady's Pool", and the Sportsnet one is just a group called Putting on the Foil.
Here are the standings for the pools so far (work sucks and considers both gambling/fantasy sports bad and block them so this is from my phone…any problems just let me know):
Sportsnet POTF:
Crott – 69 points (who is this?)
geaner33 – 68 points (again, who is this?)
Racki – 68 points
zackman35 – 67 points
hemmerlady – 66 points
BringBackKlima – 65 points
d0nkey_punch – 63 points
mrgod2u – 60 points
sln0069 (me) – 59 points (for future reference don't pick Phoenix as an upset)
chuckerspuckers – 51 points
Hemmerlady's Pool:
Zackman35 – 90 points
hemmerlady – 84 points
potf_steveo – 0 points (<- this is what happens when you miss the deadline people!) M&O – 0 points Racki – hasn't joined yet cause he's scared of losing Oh, and the OKC Barons lost in 6 to Hamilton. Boooooo. Well at least Omark now can play for Sweden. However this playoff experience should be good for the kids that did go down. Finally if I missed anything, or you want to help me out and link some vids just add to the comments.

There isn't a rumor stating this, but I was thinking, the Caps were swept again and Backstrom is under fire. Would you deal the 1st overall pick and cogliano for Backstrom in Washington?
Like I said I'm in no way banking on it happening, but change has to come in Washington after that series loss, and a lot of people are jumping on Backstrom's back because he was shut-down by New York and Tampa saying he doesn't try and has no heart. If a center like him becomes avalible you have to listen, he is an unreal talent. Again I'm not banking on it by any means, but its definatly something that seems somewhat possible that Tambi would at least make a phone call about it.
Gagner. Was labelled as a bad skater too.I don't always buy into that type of comment either.Arnott same thing. Same with Smyth.I guess I was the only one who was impressed with him at the WJCs.He reminded me of Getzlaf the year before he got drafted.He really grew the second year at the tourney. Big, good in both ends and physical.Kind of the opposite of all our centers now except Horc.
Like I said, Stu has my full confidence.One comment about RNH getting so many points on the PP seemed concerning. Couturier put his numbers up in less games with mono.Mono kicks your ass.I think he is the guy.
In regards to Gagner's skating ability; to this day dude has a hell of a time staying on his feet once he has the puck but I'm not sure if that's really a skating ability issue or just core & leg strength? At any rate there is a chance he could still improve in those areas over time. Same with Couturier if they go that route. Just don't want see Tambi get caught up in the Daryl Sutter mindset where he signs big WHL boys just to add size at the expense of skill & speed!
For me the bottom line is simple, a defenseman is a commodity that can be traded for or acquired through free agency. First line centers are not easily traded for and very expensive to acquire through free agency, and to come here would need overpayment. So therefore IMO, a center is a must for this selection. If that should be RNH, Huberdeau, Couturier ,or Strome …. I'll let an expert who has seen them all play decide. From what I've read and studied, RNH will be an Oiler on draft day. The combination of skill and speed on display between Hall and Hopkins will be magical. Again, simply my thoughts.
I'd prefer a guy who can play centre at the NHL level. Couturier seems like the best fit for me. Even Ryan Whitney said "You can always trade for a D man or sign one. You never see a no. 1 centreman get traded with the exception of Joe Thornton."
