Regarding the second, my immediate gut reaction when someone asks me is: come on, how should I know? I suppose there is no harm in admitting that I had once secretly resolved to myself that I was not returning to Madison if I wasn't convinced that I could have certain things about how I mentally approach my job be different from what they've been. But I'm already confident that I could and would. This has been a quite enjoyable past spring and summer, in fact, and, besides, I can tend toward the melodramatic in my secret-little-resolutions-to-myself.
So, contrary to some circulating rumors, I'm not not coming back. Indeed, I'm planning not only on coming back but on meanwhile seeming like I've not entirely gone. Those of you in Madison will not be able to get rid of me so easily.
That said, you don't exactly have to be a demographer or life course theorist to know that things are pretty unsettled for somebody in my basic situation in their mid-thirties. Who knows what is going to happen over the next couple of years? The great thing about having tenure is that I know at least that I will have the option to return here, and, in that regard, it's a spectacularly fortunate option to have with certainty as one embarks on a two-year fellowship. Don't think I don't realize I'm extremely lucky, here.
As for the first question, about how I feel about going to Cambridge, I have many feelings. The closer it gets, the more I don't want to go. And the more excited I am, too. I hope this will be an adventure. I hope it won't suck. I have no idea what will happen. I like that. I am, ultimately, enthusiastic.
More mysteriously (and, yes, I know this is going to sound really weird): Several times in the past few days, when I've thought about leaving this place and heading off to Cambridge, into my mind has come the ending of a novel I read back in my early days of college. I don't really know why exactly the passage comes to mind, but my suspicion is that the way I'm feeling now is sort of like what I felt as I first read this passage fifteen years ago. Or something. Just now, in the throes of insomnia and thinking about it again, I finally went over to the bookshelves and looked it up.
The passage is from Thomas Pynchon's V. (no relation to the cheesy alien-invasion miniseries). The scene takes place in Valletta (Malta), in 1956. One of the novel's two protagonists, the wandering ex-Navy seaman Benny Profane, is talking to a random American tourist, Brenda Wigglesworth, abroad for the first time, who he met in a bar the evening before. They are standing outside another bar, chatting mundanely about what they have done with their lives to that point. Then Brenda says:
"You've done so much more. Boys do."Again, I don't know what this is supposed to signify. But it keeps coming back to mind. I had thought maybe it was that I felt some kind of identification with Profane, but, reading it again now, I think if anything it might be that I identify with Brenda.
"You've had all these fabulous experiences. I wish mine would show me something."
"The experience, the experience. Haven't you learned?"
Profane didn't have to think long. "No," he said, "offhand I'd say I haven't learned a goddamn thing."
They were quiet for a while. She said: "Let's take a walk."
Later, out in the street, near the sea steps she inexplicably took his hand and began to run. The buildings in this part of Valletta, eleven years after war's end, had not been rebuilt. The street, however, was level and clear. Hand in hand with Brenda whom he'd met yesterday, Profane ran down the street. Presenly, sudden and in silence, all illumination in Valletta, houselight and streetlight, was extinguished. Profane and Brenda continued to run through the abruptly absolute night, momentum alone carrying them toward the edge of Malta, and the Mediterranean beyond.

Campers "Wild" about 2013 Boiler Vet Camp!
July 28, 2013
For two weeks in June, Boiler Vet Camp provided a total of 90 students who are interested in becoming veterinary healthcare professionals with a preview of the vast fields of work available in the veterinary medical profession. The annual program gives the campers a taste of what it is like to attend veterinary school and what it takes to become a veterinarian or veterinary technician. Students entering 8th and 9th grades are eligible to attend the Junior Camp and students entering the 10th, 11th, or 12th grades are eligible to attend the Senior Camp.
This year, 90 young people were admitted to the 6th annual Junior Camp. From the start of camp Sunday, June 9, through the closing ceremonies the following Saturday, the campers enjoyed getting to know each other and taking part in such hands-on learning sessions as, "Welcome to the Blood Bank," "Follow the Clues," "Poultry Potpourri," "Cud it Out" and "A Look Inside the Horse." The campers also visited the Indianapolis Zoo where they heard from zoo veterinarians and participated in a round-robin style session led by members of the Indiana Board of Animal Health staff, which allowed the campers to learn about the role of veterinarians in public health and disaster management. The fun and learning didn't stop there as campers then visited the Fair Oaks Dairy in northwest Indiana.
As soon as the Junior Camp concluded, the fourth annual Senior Boiler Vet Camp was ready to begin, giving 40 campers the opportunity to learn many facts and skills in veterinary medicine by focusing on the veterinarian's and veterinary technician's role in the wellness care of shelter animals and the preparation of dogs for adoption. Eight dogs from the Clinton County Humane Society in Frankfort, Ind., were carefully cared for by the senior campers and their second and third year DVM student counselors. The campers observed and learned about various kinds of wellness care provided to their camp dogs. They also learned dog behavior and training techniques, performed physical exams, learned about diagnostic blood work including complete blood count (CBC) tests and blood chemistries, and completed fecal exams. Additionally, the campers gained experience in the proper method to glove and gown for surgery, which provided for many photo opportunities.
The campers also took a field trip to the Humane Society of Indianapolis, where they learned about the operation of a large animal shelter and met with the veterinary team to learn their roles in working with the animals. The campers also shadowed the students in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital which allowed them see how the veterinary team works in a hospital setting. The camp concluded with special closing ceremonies when the campers gave presentations for family and friends about the many things they learned during the week. Meanwhile, the camp dogs found new homes with their campers or by adoption through the Clinton County Humane Society. As the campers returned home they took with them not only the veterinary knowledge and skills learned during camp, but also a much greater understanding of the road to veterinary school. The College looks forward to seeing many of these campers back on campus in the years ahead as undergrads and even as veterinary students.

Almost immediately after Apple announced the new iPhone, Nokia UK — and by extension Microsoft, which runs Windows Phone on Nokia and just bought the Nokia smartphone business — tweeted a jab aimed at its rival:
Thanks, #Apple ;) pic.twitter.com/x4w3r8Ghcy— Nokia UK (@nokia_uk) September 10, 2013
In 20 minutes, it was retweeted 7,000 times.
Here's an image of the iPhone 5C, which, like Nokia, embraces color:
The iPhone 5C pic.twitter.com/Zk1t78q3ji— Tim Bradshaw (@tim) September 10, 2013
The ad campaign for the Nokia Lumia has revolved around Apple and Samsung bashing, so the tweet is hardly a surprise.
The speed, however, was impressive but also emblematic of the immense social media pressure for brands to engage in instantaneous, real time marketing. Seconds after the royal baby announcement, for example, brands tweeted out cutesy brand messages to piggyback on the event.

Oops I'm sorry
How and why did this piece of nonsense spread so widely? I don't know, but it did. Weird, no? A lot of the Hasidic children's sayings are equally strange, but what fascinates me most is the interplay between Eastern European and American elements. Some of the sayings I know from scholarly studies of Yiddish children's sayings, others are English ones I knew growing up. Then there is the following:
רינגע ראנגע ראוזי פאקע פאלע פאוזי, עשעס עשעס ווי אלל פאל דאון
"Ringe range rouzi pake fole pouzi, eshes eshes vi all fal daun."
Pretty darn cool.
Even cooler is the ensuing discussion. The poster asks if anyone has heard the rumor that this has to do with idolatry. Someone else writes in to say that he read in "Mallos" (a Hasidic magazine) that this rhyme comes from "the church," and that the "falling down" at the end has to do with bowing down, a big taboo in Judaism, such a big no-no that the poster adds an acronym רח''ל meaning, roughly, 'God forbid' - for merely having mentioned bowing down. Someone else writes
The legend that 'Ring a ring a rozi" has to do with idolatry is sheer idiocy. Somebody just brought me a pamphlet from England that he picked up in one of the tourism places, and it just says that a few hundred years ago there was a plague in England that begins as a rash on the hands shaped like a round rose etc. and the remedy was to put ash on it, and if you didn't you would fall down dead.
This prompts someone to post a link to Snopes where they debunk the story that "Ring Around the Rosie" has anything to do with any plague.
A heck of a journey, all told. From suspicious rumors of idolatry to widespread urban legends to Snopes. All within a week. This is the revolution the internet is causing in the Hasidic world - an instant acceleration to light speed. And we get to watch.

I have in mind Debian packaging system Does this mean you only want answers that apply to debian-based clusters? I mean, another answer for rpm-based systems might involve kickstart and yum, with or without cfe or dsh. Another KIND of possibility altogether is warewulf (beowulf in a non-commercial box), which runs a single template on all nodes (so updating the template updates everything). Still another is e.g. scyld (beowulf in a commercial box). And this still isn't exhaustive, I'm sure.

The walkers, from Sheffield, were then carried some distance down a steep cascade before finally coming to rest.
One member of the party then managed to make his way to the Snake Inn to raise the alarm and the ambulance service called on the mountain rescue teams to help.
One lady in her fifties suffered head, chest and back injuries, including a fractured spine in the accident. Both the casualties were soaking wet and suffering from hypothermia.
After initial treatment by ambulance service crews and mountain rescue team medics, one casualty was helped back up the road while the more seriously injured walker was evacuated by stretcher. Both were taken by ambulance to the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield.

The Blue Shell and its Discontents
May 30, 2014 Page 1 of 2
"The Blue Shell is everything that's wrong with America."
Ok, nobody said that, but you can imagine someone having done. The Blue Shell steals progress from a rightfully earned win on behalf of the lazy and the incompetent. The Blue Shell wrests spoils from leaders' fingers just as they reach for the laurel. The Blue Shell is the cruel tax of gaming, the welfare queen of kart racing. God damn you kids today. We used to have to win a race to win it.
I'm talking about Mario Kart, of course, whose Spiny Blue Shell power-up has taunted players since its second iteration in 1996-7. It's the pickup sometimes given to players far behind in a race, which homes in on the leader, bringing delight to the inferior player and torment to the superior one. Just as you were about to cross the finish, there's a Blue Shell, spinning you out so that Mario or Donkey Kong crosses the finish just ahead of you. And, conversely, just as you thought yourself too far behind to catch up, there's a Blue Shell to help put you on the winners' podium.
1996 is a long time ago - 18 years, to be exact. In some sense, metaphorical though it may be, that makes the Blue Shell an adult. A lot has changed in those 18 years. When Mario Kart 64 first appeared, the Amazon.com IPO hadn't yet taken place. Bill Clinton was starting his second term as President. Mark Zuckerberg was planning his Bar Mitzvah. You probably didn't have a mobile phone, but you might have had an AOL account. The Macarena was a thing, as was the Sega Saturn. It's easy to forget, to lump today's Blue Shell in with yesterday's like you'd lump today's internet in with yesterday's, forgetting that yesterday was an entire lifetime ago.
While all of us refer to the Blue Shell as such, it's actually called "Spiny's Shell" in the Mario Kart 64 manual. This difference makes a difference, because it re-connects the shell's name to its origins and its function. A Spiny is a quadrupedal Koopa with a spiked shell. They've been around as long as the original NES Super Mario Bros. Back then, they served as the ammunition of Lakitu - that begoggled, cloud riding Koopa who hurls them from the air in some overworld levels. Spiny shells are red, and thanks to their spikes they cannot be jumped atop to defeat, nor can they be bumped from below to flip on their backs as can an ordinary Koopa. Only a fireball wrought by a Fire Flower-emblazoned Mario brother can defeat the Spinies - or a hero emboldened by the temporary immunity of an invincibility Star (or maybe a kicked Koopa shell, but such a resource is unlikely in the barren wastelands where Lakitu rears his head, at least in the original SMB).
The Spiny Shell is the most profoundly existentialist element of the Mario canon. It disrupts the entire logic of this familiar fantasy universe. We were told we could jump on things to destroy them! We were told we could flip them asunder! But no - all promises are tentative, even in the Mushroom Kingdom. Spiny Shells are chaos, unfairness, injustice. For those of us who were kids when Super Mario Bros. arrived, the Spiny Shell taught a lesson, and the lesson was: you are alone in the universe. Enough with your childish expectations. This is the real world, and just when you think you've mastered it, it'll pull the rug out from under you. You have to find your own way.
The blueness of Blue Shells comes from elsewhere - half a decade but an entire generation later. A Koopa Troopa with a blue shell first appeared in Super Mario World, the launch title for the Super Nintendo in 1990-1. Blue-backed Koopas move faster than their blue or green-clad brethren. Super Mario World also marks the introduction of Yoshi, and ingesting a Blue Shell immediately causes the dinosaur steed to sprout wings and fly. Some things come easy.
"The Spiny Shell is the most profoundly existentialist element of the Mario canon."
The Blue Shell didn't appear again in a traditional Nintendo platformer until the triumphant return 2006 of 2D Mario, in New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS. Here, the Blue Shell takes the same form as it had sixteen years earlier, but as a power-up for the benefit of our heroes. Collecting the Blue Shell turns Mario into Shell Mario. By ducking, he becomes invulnerable under his azure armor. Shell Mario can also perform a "shell dash," enacting the familiar destructive power of a Koopaless shell sent flying by foot, but under the control of the player via his plumberly counterpart.
In contrast to the Spiny Shell - a hazard that strips certainty and authority from the player - the Blue Shell has always been associated with speed, power, and security. Despite its rarity, the Blue Shell is a conservative bonus, a feature that entrenches the comforts of Mario, Luigi, and their human pilots rather than wresting it away. Would it be too much to say that Spiny Shell was a Gen X'ers lament, an NES-bred slacker's plaid, tortugal sigh, while Blue Shell was a Gen Y transitional object, a comfort blanket - blue with calm like Linus van Pelt's - that proffers assurance to the SNES milksop every time, no matter how infrequently it might appear? Probably so.

Around the table
At many of Gene's seminars and lunch series, he would ask all the participants around the table or lecture hall to give their name and position. He was quite particular about people giving both their first and last names. We thought it would be nice to honor his wishes on this blog. For those who wish to, would you list your full name as well as when you met or how you knew Gene?
We have removed the registration requirement from the comments, so everyone should be able to post.
(post date altered for sorting reasons.)

My name is Michele Benzi and I have
met Gene for the first time when I
was a PhD student at North Carolina
State University, working on my
dissertation in numerical linear
algebra with Carl Meyer as an advisor. The year was 1992. Of
course by then I was well aware of
Gene's enormous importance and
influence on our field. After his
talk (it was on cyclic reduction
with application to iterative methods
for the convection-diffusion equation, joint work with Howard
Elman) there was a reception
during which he made a point to
meet all of us graduate students.
"Hi, I'm Gene Golub! What's your
name and what are you working on?"
That was the beginning of a 15 year
relation. Over the years Gene has
visited me in Bologna, at CERFACS,
at Los Alamos, and finally at Emory, and I have been his guest
at Stanford. We have co-authored four papers. I have countless memories of him, and I owe Gene a lot for
his encouragement and support over
the years. For sure there have been
ups and downs in our friendship
(as it's true for many of us), but in the end things have always worked out, since Gene seemed
unable to hold a grudge for too
long. I am still having a hard time
coming to terms with his passing.
Goodbye, Gene. You will always be

My name is Margot Gerritsen. I first met Gene in 1991 when I joined the SCCM program at Stanford as a graduate student. After my PhD I spent 5 years in New Zealand, and returned to Stanford in 2001. I was lucky to come back and enjoy Gene's company for several more years. Whether in his good books or in his bad books, I thoroughly enjoyed Gene, and admired him greatly. Stanford feels empty now.

My name is Vidya Rangasayee and I first met Gene in September 2002 when I started my Masters in SCCM. To me SCCM and Gene are almost synonymous. Even several years after I left Stanford with my Masters, I would make it a point to pop into his room when I visit Stanford. Gene still remembered my name and would enquire about my kids and work and encourage me to attend the SCCM seminars on Monday evenings. I won't feel the same visiting Gates Building now without Gene around.

Gene Golub's friends and colleagues will gather around the globe on Friday February 29, 2008, the date that would have been his 19th birthday, to mourn his passing and celebrate his life. In addition to a memorial and a technical day at Stanford, events will also take place in more than 30 other locations and more than 20 other countries.
Friends and colleagues of Gene are invited to attend any of these events. See
Best regards to all

My name is Hongyang Chao. In 1994, Gene invited me to visit SCCM. I stayed there for a year and left for Texas. Once he sent a greeting to me and asked "How is Texas? Do you miss here?"
I went to Stanford for a very short visit of Gene in Nov. of 2005. He was very happy and looked very healthy then. We took a picture in his office. Here is the picture link.
It was a shock to know Gene has been gone. I thought I would visit him again once I got another chance. Stanford has a lot of wonderful professors. Gene is one of them. "Gene, how is the heaven? You will be missed forever."

I learned most of my notions about numerical analisys of linear operators from Gene's papers and the marvelous book with Van Loan. I included Gene's
picture among the Great mathematicians and physicists in the Gallery of my book
I like to look at him in a good company.
Hope most of you will agree,

My name is Kedar Gajanan Kale. I graduated from Stanford in ME in 2006. I attended one of Gene's talks in the ICME seminar series in 2005. When asked about his illustrious career by the seminar organizer, he responded with a statement that stuck with me - 'If you hang in there long enough, good things will happen to you." That's admirable humility. RIP

Wow, it's hard to believe this November marks 10 years since Gene died. It feels like just a few years ago I was taking his Numerical Linear Algebra course at the Scientific Computing and Computational Mathematics / Computational and Mathematical Engineering institute at Stanford University.
In addition to his wealth of knowledge and experience, he was one of the nicest professors ever. I remember him taking me out to lunch and we would tell each other about our Jewish Russian backgrounds. He wanted to meet my dad Boris Korenblum some day but it didn't work out although he emailed me from Russia in the Summer of 2007. He was exploring his roots and heritage in the old country but I never talked to him again due to his unexpected and tragic passing.
I still miss Gene a lot and I thank you for setting up this Blog. I hope we can continue to honor Gene on the 10th anniversary of his leaving us in life but his works will go on continually.
Cheers to a great mathematician, engineer, and friend!

It is obvious that many traditional aspects of the work environment are changing as technology advances and competition heightens. So in order to come out ahead of the pack, companies must be agile and innovative. Being proactive about your human capital management (HCM) strategy is a great place to start planning for the future of your business.
Read this paper to learn how the business environment and workforce and predicted to change in the next five years and how you can adapt your HCM policies now to accommodate them down the road.


text: Rob, I agree that by now it is well understood that by providing a very flexible API with a rich set of semantics, MPI may have missed some opportunities for accelerating message passing in some constrained cases. Many of us have seen codes that not only use just the famous 6 MPI functions, but also avoid wild cards and out-of-order messages. As a result, these codes pay for services they don't use. As far as the predicted end-of-life for MPI, I wouldn't necessarily bet on it. As often happens, the technical reasons may have little to do with the issue. By now MPI has had penetration in so many long-term programs that it will be around for quite a while. Of course, this does not mean that there would not be attempts to "fix" it or replace it with something else. This might in fact be a good thing - natural evolution of technology.
