The Newport Beach City Council on Tuesday instructed staff to develop a comprehensive parking plan for Balboa Village, authorized a voluntary buyout program for certain employees and gave City Attorney Aaron Harp a raise.
Balboa Parking Plan
The proposed parking plan, which drew mixed reviews from neighborhood residents who came to speak on the matter, was recommended by the Balboa Village Advisory Committee.
While the council ultimately voted unanimously to fund a more comprehensive study to fine tune a proposal, Councilwoman Nancy Gardner questioned aspects of the committee's recommendations about a residential parking permit program.
That program would require residents to buy parking permits for overnight street parking, and beachgoers or other visitors would either have to move their cars, or get a guest pass.
"Two areas in my district have been asking for residential parking permits, and every time we do this, we say no, no, well —" Gardner said. "And that was from 11 p.m. This says [permit required parking] would start at 4 p.m. That seems really stringent."
Councilman Tony Petros took issue with the proposed price for those permits. A staff report listed a tiered scale: $20 per year for a first permit and another $20 for the second permit, while a third permit would cost $60 per year. A fourth and final permit would cost $100 per year.
Councilman Mike Henn, who helped work on the proposal, said he saw, "unique characteristics," in the Balboa Village area where more visitors create a parking problem.
Nevertheless, Henn said any parking plan will require significant alteration before it's ready for further action.
Employee Compensation
Late in the meeting, the council gave city administrators the go-ahead to offer certain employees older than 50 a buyout package.
Eligible employees would have the chance to take a one-time, lump sum payment to retire by the start of the new fiscal year.
The Voluntary Separation Incentive Program, City Manager Dave Kiff said, was intended to "further shrink the size of government."
"We do need to get smaller — I've been fairly candid about that," he said, "but hopefully without layoffs."
Council members also praised city staffers involved in negotiating a deal that will increase many non-sworn employees' contributions to their pensions before officially approving that agreement.
Harp's 3% raise was moved on the evening's consent calendar without mention. His base annual salary will jump from $210,000 to $216,300. It was his first raise as city attorney.

* Pledge to provide access to patient-level data from trials
* Independent panel to assess requests for data
* Move follows record fraud fine in United States
* GSK also to make TB compound library freely available
By Ben Hirschler
LONDON, Oct 11 (Reuters) - GlaxoSmithKline, criticised in the past for keeping important information about its medicines to itself, is to lift the lid on more of its drug data secrets.
Three months after GSK was fined $3 billion for fraud in the United States, where prosecutors accused it of concealing safety issues, chief executive Andrew Witty said on Thursday detailed data from its clinical trials would be made available to other researchers. That would include anonymised patient-level results that sit behind clinical trials of approved and failed drugs.
The move, a first for a major pharmaceutical company, may prompt others to follow suit. GSK believes opening its data stores to outsiders will help in the hunt for new drugs, as well as ending suspicions that the industry has secrets to hide.
"I'd be a bit surprised if, in two years, we were the only company doing this. Whether or not you are going to see other companies act in six weeks, I have no idea," Witty said.
Britain's biggest drugmaker will set up an independent panel of experts to review requests submitted by researchers, which will then be vetted for scientific merit. The new system will start at the beginning of next year.
In July, GSK reached a record $3-billion settlement with the U.S. government, pleading guilty to charges that it had provided misleading information on some drugs, including antidepressant Paxil and diabetes pill Avandia.
Other companies have reached similar but smaller settlement deals, fuelling demands from groups such as the Cochrane Collaboration, which carries out systematic healthcare reviews, for them to release all clinical trials data.
Such information is a treasure trove for scientists wanting to test drug company claims and expose product deficiencies.
Witty acknowledged some researchers would use company data to look for problems with its medicines but said he would rather learn about genuine problems sooner. Overall, he said there was more upside than risk from the move.
Mark Walport, director of the Wellcome Trust medical charity, said GSK had set an important precedent by showing how the drug industry must adapt to drive forward medical advances.
Fiona Godlee, editor of the British Medical Journal and a frequent industry critic, said GSK's move "promises a real step change in how academics and the industry work together".
To some extent, GSK is bowing to the inevitable, given the growing trend for greater openness across all areas of science.
Drug regulators, too, are pushing companies in the same direction. The European Medicines Agency recently decided to make its own data vaults containing drug company trial results available for systematic scrutiny.
The industry's failure to provide full access to such data was blasted in a recent book which received widespread public attention in Britain; "Patients are harmed when data is withheld," said Ben Goldacre, author of "Bad Pharma".
"It is great that GSK has made further promises of greater transparency, but promises are not enough, because they have been broken in the past. We will only see if this promise is different in the years to come."
Witty reaffirmed a commitment to seek publication of results of all clinical trials evaluating its medicines - regardless of whether the results were positive or negative for the company - in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
He also said he would make GSK's library of compounds with potential activity against tuberculosis (TB) freely available to outside research groups, matching a similar move in 2009 to put malaria compounds in the public domain.
The company has screened its pharmaceutical library of more than 2 million compounds to find any that might be effective against TB and has found just over 200 "hits" that will be made available to outside researchers wanting to study them further.
TB, like malaria, is a disease that offers little commercial upside for drugmakers and Witty said GSK was also looking at similar initiatives for other neglected illnesses.

I was chatting with my lovely co-worker Colleen the other day and I was asking her for ideas for this weblog. She had a fantastic idea, why not ask readers to everyone their collections? And by collection, I mean your beauty products. I've done this before in one of the LiveJournal communities I was active in and I loved seeing all the products people had. It also gave me some great ideas on what other products I could try.
So what do you think? You show me your collection and I'll show you mine? To participate, just comment on this entry and include a link to your photos. You can even send me a video clip. Once we have enough partipants, I'll post them all at the same time. Sound good? 🙂
Also, I'm going to be trying something new in the next few days. I'm going to attempt to put together a podcast! I've been talking about this a little bit with Christina and I think I finally have the guts to do this… just don't laugh at my voice. I've recorded one segment so far and I'm going to work on the rest tomorrow and hopefully I'll have this available for download by Friday. Cross your fingers for me, ok?

New Fossil Discoveries By American Museum Of Natural History Scientists Challenge Role Of Climate In Early Penguin Distribution And Evolution main content.
The fossilized remains of two previously unknown, extinct penguin species found in Peru are challenging the idea that penguins originated in the Earth's far southern latitudes and migrated north during a period of global cooling millions of years ago. The findings are being reported by a team that includes scientists from the American Museum of Natural History and will be published online by the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on June 25.
The two new penguin species, which also represent separate, previously unknown genera, were unearthed in 2005 by Peruvian paleontologists in the Ica region of Peru's southern coast. Previous hypotheses suggested that a few penguin lineages migrated north 4 to 8 million years ago after a period of global cooling that caused an increase in polar ice cover. However, the new discoveries reveal that penguins migrated north and lived near the equator more than 30 million years earlier than previously suggested, during one of the warmest times in the past 65 million years of Earth's history.
The study was led by Julia Clarke, a Research Associate in the Museum's Division of Paleontology and an associate professor at North Carolina State University, and also included Daniel Ksepka of the Division of Paleontology and Norberto Giannini and Sara Bertelli of the Division of Vertebrate Zoology. They and their colleagues report that one of the new species, Icadyptes salasi, at more than 1.5 meters (nearly 5 feet), is the most complete giant penguin specimen yet described and lived approximately 36 million years ago. The other, Perudyptes devriesi, stood approximately 3 feet tallabout as tall as modern king penguinsand represents one of the earliest evolutionary divides within the animal family that includes modern penguins, having lived nearly 42 million years ago. Both species also display a powerful, pointed beak construction that was previously found only in one other extinct species, but is now believed to be an ancestral form for all penguins.
The new fossils are the first to indicate a significant and diverse presence of penguins in the tropics during a period that predates one of the most important climatic shifts in Earth's history, the transition from extremely warm temperatures in the Paleocene and Eocene Epochs to the development of permanent polar icecaps.
By comparing the pattern of evolutionary relationships with the geographic distribution of other fossil penguins, the researchers estimate that the two Peruvian species are the product of two separate dispersal events. The ancestors of Perudyptes appear to have inhabited Antarctica, while those of Icadyptes may have originated near New Zealand.
"The new Peruvian species indicate that early in penguin evolution there was a much more complex relationship between global temperature and diversity than previously recognized," the researchers write. However, they also point out that these early lineages have gone extinct and all living penguins evolved in concert with present-day conditions. As a result, their findings do not indicate that penguins currently inhabiting the Antarctic will not be adversely affected by global warming and climate change.
Support for the study was provided by the National Science Foundation (Office of International Science and Engineering and the Assembling the Tree of Life project), the American Museum of Natural History, North Carolina State University, North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, the Frank M. Chapman Memorial Fund, and the Dorris and Samuel P. Welles Fund.

Eyeing a stronger presence in Asia, the WTA is moving its season-ending championships to Singapore for 2014-18 in a five-year deal worth more than $70 million.
"We're no different than any multinational corporation that looks for growth," WTA Chairman and CEO Stacey Allaster said Wednesday in a telephone interview from Singapore. "You just have to look at GDP potential and potential for growth and the billions of fans we can reach in this territory."
The tournament, which invites the top eight singles players and will go from four to eight doubles teams, will increase its prize money by $500,000 to $6.5 million next year, staying in line with the men's ATP finals.
Allaster said prize money at the WTA event in Singapore "will definitely grow" over the course of the agreement.
"How much it will grow remains to be determined," she said.
Allaster declined to say how much the new deal is worth to the WTA, but she said it is for more annually than the tour's expiring arrangement with Istanbul, Turkey, which was worth $14 million a year from 2011-13.
The championships will be held at the $1 billion Singapore Sports Hub's 7,500-seat indoor stadium. Singapore was chosen over the other two finalists -- Monterrey, Mexico, and Tianjin, China.
By adding a Singapore stop to its calendar, the WTA will have 23 tournaments in the Asia-Pacific market in 2014, more than any other region in the world, according to the tour.
"New markets and new fans and new financial opportunities, long term," Allaster said.
Singapore is the ninth city to host the WTA Championships following Boca Raton, Fla.; Los Angeles; Oakland, Calif.; New York; Munich; Madrid; Doha, Qatar; and Istanbul.
Serena Williams, who is currently ranked No. 1, won the 2012 singles title at the year-end tournament in Istanbul.
After doing a two-year agreement with Madrid, and three years apiece with Doha and Istanbul, the WTA sought a longer deal this time.
"We chose five years. That was our minimum requirement," Allaster said. "We wanted more financial stability. It represents 35 to 40 percent of the net operating revenues. It's the largest revenue source for us, so the three-year cycle creates instability. ... (And it's) a more compelling financial opportunity for the marketplace."
In addition to increasing the number of doubles entrants, the WTA will add events to the championships schedule, including exhibition matches featuring past stars, music concerts, fan festivals and a conference focusing on women in business and leadership.
"That will really create a fusion between sport and entertainment," Allaster said, "very much like the NFL and NBA have done through their Super Bowls, All-Star game and so forth."

Eureka! Cold fusion reheated
by Scott LaFee
Twenty years to the day after electrochemists Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann breathlessly announced their discovery of "cold fusion," only to have the whole thing metaphorically blow up in their faces, another team of scientists says it has documented evidence of "low energy nuclear reactions," or LENR, that could, in time, mean a virtually free, endless supply of energy — the power of stars from a tabletop device.
The new team is headed by researchers from the U.S. Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR) in San Diego.
Pamela Mosier-Boss, a SPAWAR analytical chemist, described the work at the American Chemical Society's spring meeting in Salt Lake City (which, incidentally, was the same gathering where Pons and Fleischmann made their announcement 20 years ago).
The SPAWAR scientists reported that an experimental cold-fusion device had produced a pattern of "triple tracks" caused by high-energy particles resulting from a nuclear reaction. "To our knowledge, this is the first scientific report of the production of highly energetic neutrons from an LENR device," Mosier-Boss said.
In other words, they had found evidence of the products of cold fusion.
Perhaps remembering Pons and Fleischmann, others in the field have not yet jumped aboard, lauding the work but suggesting the conclusions may be wrong.
"Their hypothesis as to a fusion mechanism I think is on thin ice," Steven Krivit, editor of New Energy Times, told New Scientist magazine. "You get into physics fantasies rather quickly, and this is an unfortunate distraction from their excellent empirical work."
Krivit said he was eager to see others replicate the research results, something that never happened with Pons and Fleischmann.
Can you use sound logic to figure out why these words are in this order: gun, shoe, spree, door, hive, kicks, heaven, gate, line, den?
Temple University researchers have found new physical evidence that indigenous peoples in the lowland areas of southwestern Mexico cultivated a wild grass 8,700 years ago, resulting in what we now know as domesticated maize or corn.

Great Sunflower Project
Everybody knows honeybees are in trouble, with hives around the world experiencing massive death and collapse. Researchers are still trying to figure out why. Part of that effort is the Great Sunflower Project, a volunteer program to plot and record bee activity across North America.
Volunteers document bee sightings in their area, funneling the information to a central databank at San Francisco State University. Last year was the project's first year.
See the website for more information or call 415-405-2409. Participants get a free package of sunflower seeds — for planting and for the bees, of course.
A hint was in the word "sound." Each word in the sequence rhymes with a sequential number: one, two, three, etc.
The microbe is so very small
You cannot make him out at all.
But many sanguine people hope
To see him down a microscope.
His jointed tongue that lies beneath
A hundred curious rows of teeth;
His seven tufted tail with lots
Of lovely pink and purple spots
On each of which a pattern stands,
Composed of 40 separate bands;
His eyebrows of a tender green;
All these have never yet been seen.
But Scientists, who ought to know,
Assure us they must be so.
Oh! let us never, never doubt
What nobody is sure about!

Treatments for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Our Program provides a range of evidence-based psychotherapeutic and pharmacological treatments tailored to the specific needs of each patient and their family.
Psychotherapy for OCD
The basis of our psychotherapeutic care is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), with exposure and response prevention (ERP) at the core of many of our treatments. CBT is a type of therapy that focuses on the interplay between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. ERP (a type of CBT technique) is the gold standard treatment used for OCD. This treatment does not focus on the meaning of the obsessions; rather it targets the thinking process. The OCD thinking pattern can be described as the following: one gets an intrusive thought, image, or impulse, which is accompanied by discomfort and/or anxiety. To relieve the painful emotion, a person engages in either a ritual or avoidance. This pattern works in the short run, but in the long run it only serves to strengthen the OCD.
In the past, many therapists told their patients "to just stop thinking about it," but that strategy only leads to more obsessive thinking and compulsive behavior. ERP is the exact opposite of "thought stopping," which is why it works. This technique involves confronting one's fears without performing rituals. Following repeated exposures, the link weakens between obsessions and anxiety through a process called habituation. Habituation occurs when one stays in an anxiety-producing situation long enough for the anxiety to eventually reduce on its own. However, the process only works if one does not engage in any type of rituals or reassurance-seeking behaviors. As it may sound, this is the difficult part of treatment, which is why our Program augments the exposure and response prevention with the most cutting-edge techniques to help people face their fears.
Mindfulness/acceptance based techniques, writing scripts, imaginable exposure, motivational techniques, and cognitive therapy are all techniques that our program uses to enhance ERP. It is our mission to provide the most comprehensive care for our patients, and to tailor the treatment to the specific needs of each patient. We will combine techniques as needed to ensure that the OCD is being treated in the most effective way.
The frequency of our psychotherapy sessions ranges from one to four meeting per week with length of sessions ranging from 45-75 minutes. Sessions are held in our clinical offices or outside the office, as indicated. Our team also offers home visits as a part of our treatment services.
Medications for OCD
The medications that consistently work in the treatment of OCD are antidepressants (SRIs) that interact with the brain chemical serotonin. Serotonin is one of the brain's many chemical messengers (neurotransmitters) that allow nerve cells (neurons) to communicate with each other. SRIs, like clomipramine (Anafranil®), block the serotonin pump in neurons and increase the availability of serotonin where neurons meet (synapse). In addition to clomipramine, several selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have also proven effective in treating OCD, including fluvoxamine (Luvox®), fluoxetine (Prozac®), sertraline (Zoloft®), and paroxetine (Paxil®). Other SRIs have been found to be effective in treating OCD, as well as the addition of other medications to augment the effects of SRIs.
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for OCD
For patients with intractable, treatment-resistant OCD, the FDA has provided a humanitarian device exemption (FDE) as of January 2010 for treatment with Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). DBS is a neurosurgical technique, already approved and effective for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, tremors and dystonia, that involves the implantation and stimulation of electrodes in brain regions known to be involved in these disorders. Studies have demonstrated that placement in and stimulation of the ventral striatum (an area of the brain implicated in the pathophysiology of OCD) can reduce the frequency and severity of OCD symptoms. DBS is available at our program but is only an option for patients who have failed multiple SRI trials, including the addition of other medications (augmentation), as well as CBT.

Jeans – the iconic American clothing item found in most closets – continues to dominate the apparel world in all age categories. From stonewashed to true indigo, ripped or creased, skinny to boot-cut, the 1873 clothing invention comes in whatever style your heart desires. You can dress it up with a blazer and a button-up woven shirt for casual Fridays and dress them down by adding a blousy top for dinner with friends. Jeans that fit right and styled with accessories can you elevate your look and bring out confidence you didn't know you had – no matter your age.
Speaking of jeans and self-esteem, I had the pleasure of chatting with enthusiastic designer Diane Gilman, 67, about her new book Good Jeans: 10 Simple Truths About Feeling Great, Staying Sexy & Aging Agelessly. She writes about reinventing herself after age 60, negotiating aging and selling jeans to middle-age women via Home Shopping Network (HSN).
When she was in her 20s, Gilman was "fit and fine," as my dad likes to say. She had a successful career styling rock stars such as Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. Cher, another one of her clients, once bought everything in her California boutique, which caused Gilman to temporarily close to make new garments. She launched a successful washable silk line and became a TV-selling personality in the very fashionable New York City. While it may appear life was good, eventually it began to take another route.
Gilman got married and began experience some life-changing events. Her husband died when she was in her 50s, which caused her to stop in her tracks and literally give up. Depression kicked in she pacified herself with food. Eventually she came out of long grieving period, albeit 60 pounds heavier, and realized that she needed to take control of her life. So she became her own favorite project.
Determined to "age differently" as she says, Gilman set some goals: lose weight, define her purpose, and work on bringing "her sexy back." She took a hard look in the mirror and asked herself who she wanted to be. "I thought about a lot of roles like 'granola grandma earth mother,' but honestly 'glamorous older woman' fit me well. When I made the choice, I thought I don't have anything to wear. Everything I had was for a much bigger person and for someone who was trying to camouflage herself. I wanted to come out of hiding." Gilman searched for an anchor wardrobe piece and decided on sexy "rock inspired" jeans, which she couldn't seem to find to fit her more mature body. "No one was making jeans for older women and I was 57. I recognized that there was huge spot for baby boomer women's clothing-especially in jeans."
Gilman decided to use herself as a model to design and create a pair for herself. Instantly they were a hit. With the help of HSN, she launched her DG2 jeans on the network and blew the numbers out the water – 5,000 pairs of jeans in two minutes. It was clear that other boomer women needed jeans that fit their bodies.
Gilman is now HSN's most successful apparel designer, selling more than $150 million in jeans internationally. Rocking her DG2 skinny jeans religiously, she travels constantly promoting her brand and speaking to women about making the most out of their later years.
"Everything opened up for me after 60," Gilman says. "I've opened up myself to new possibilities."

More Free Stuff Friday: XFX Radeon HD 6870 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Subject: General Tech | November 11, 2011 - 04:27 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: radeon, giveaway
I think I just created a new thing for us here at PC Perspective: Free Stuff Friday. After our contest for Skyrim, I thought I would let you know about another completely free contest you can enter. The prizes:
- 1 x XFX Radeon HD 6870 Black Edition
- 2 x Deus Ex: Human Revolution
All you have to do to enter is visit our friend Terry Makedon's blog and vote on your Game of Year selection!
Nov 8 2011 - What is the best PC game of 2011? Simple - it is the one that gamers vote as their favorite. I always hated "game of the year" articles that were written by editors or self appointed experts because they don't necessarily reflect the people's choice. What gave anyone the authority to decide what was the best game of the year? Realistically those articles should be called "My Opinion On Game of the Year". To really find the game of the year, I wanted to have a long running poll for gamers that will have a large sample size. This should undeniably put the "Best PC Game of 2011" question to bed.The other point of this article is to make sure you, the gamers are aware of the best games of the year (as voted by other gamers) so that you can try them out.

Topic: General way to upgrade
i am running an iRedMail-installation on CentOS 5.3 without any bigger problems so far. Thumbs up, excellent work
I am still wondering, what he recommended way to upgrade my installation is.
Having a yum repository made me think i just could use "yum update" and everything wil be worked out more or less by itself.
No i found that i still have i.e. phpMyAdmin - 220.127.116.11 and so i think i am somewhat stuck with iRedMail 0.3.x.
What is the correct way to check the iRedMail-Version?
How do i upgrade a running installation without bigger hassle? The wiki-documenation on these topics states "this is work in progress - don't do this!"...
Thanks for your help and kind regards,

One of the most interesting ways of determining the popularity of something is to see how many people are looking for information on it via Google. So let's see what the search engine has to tell us about what people were looking for in 2012.
Google has released its "Zeitgeist" report for 2012, showing the 10 most-searched items worldwide across a variety of categories. While there isn't one just for video games, games do feature across some of the biggest fields.
In Consumer Electronics, for example, a field dominated by phones and tablets, a gaming console made the grade in sixth place: the term "Play Station". Imagine how many results they'd have got if they'd spelled it correctly!
In Images, which as you'd expect is full of people searching for pictures of sexy celebrities, in eighth place is Minecraft.
And finally, in the biggest category of all, Searches, ahead of the Olympics was "Diablo 3" in fifth place. Again, imagine if they'd actually used its real name, "Diablo III"!
These results are worldwide; to see things broken down individually, and to see some lists of the most-searched video games, you can filter by country at the link below. For example, the most-searched games in the US for 2012 were:
Diablo 3 Borderlands 2 Mass Effect 3 Halo 4 Skyrim Black Ops 2 Madden NFL 13 Resident Evil 6 WrestleMania XXVIII FIFA 13

HYANNIS — As the CapeFlyer rolled down the tracks from South Station to this Cape Cod village, scenes of summer flashed by: fishermen wielding nets in marshy inlets, people in swimsuits lined up outside the Water Wizz amusement park; cars crawling over the Bourne Bridge.
Napping couples, bicyclists in matching spandex outfits, and families wrangling with toddlers filled the first few cars. When the train pulled into Hyannis after a 2½-hour journey on a recent Saturday morning, passengers spilled onto the platform, renting bikes to hit nearby beaches and hopping on buses bound for the Outer Cape.
Since service began on Memorial Day weekend, the train has transported nearly 9,000 passengers — almost 900 of them last weekend — between Boston and Hyannis.
The increasingly popular venture has collected enough fares to cover the approximately $165,000 annual cost of operating the train, and the service may be extended until Columbus Day.
Peter Martino, owner of the Heritage House Hotel across the street from the Hyannis Transportation Center, where the train arrives, said the number of bookings by train passengers is a small but significant fraction of the 2 million who visit the Cape each summer.
"It's people that wouldn't have stayed here in the past," he said. "I'll take it."
Train service between Boston and the Cape has been attempted several times over the years, but this iteration has a better chance of success, said Thomas Cahir, administrator of the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority, which operates the CapeFlyer.
Restored rail lines make the ride faster and smoother, he said, while high gas prices and the desire to avoid traffic jams like the 25-mile backup over the 4th of July weekend are prompting more people to leave their cars at home.
There are also more transportation options waiting for passengers when they get off the train.
Regularly scheduled bus service to all 15 towns on Cape Cod has been established in the past few years at the Buzzards Bay and Hyannis stops.
Enterprise Rent-A-Car set up a desk inside the Hyannis train station, and Sea Sports rents bicycles right outside.
"There's no question in my mind that passenger rail service, if it's done right, can be overwhelmingly successful," Cahir said.
The double-decker commuter train, provided by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, travels between Boston and Hyannis once a day each way on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for $35 round trip.
Many travelers don't stay in Hyannis for long.
'It has opened up a crowd of people that wouldn't normally come here because they don't want to drive.'
A group of European twentysomethings studying English in Boston boarded the Plymouth & Brockton bus for a day trip to Provincetown, where they visited Pilgrim Monument and ate pizza and lobster rolls at a seaside restaurant.
They enjoyed their visit but had only four hours to explore before they had to turn around and catch the 6:30 p.m. train back to Boston, making them doubt they would make the trek again.
"It's too expensive and too long," said Alina Wilhelm, 20, of Germany.
Still, ridership on Plymouth & Brockton's weekend Hyannis-Provincetown routes that coincide with the CapeFlyer service has risen about 10 percent, which the company attributes to train travelers.
Ferries to Nantucket also send shuttles to the train station to pick up passengers.
Jenny Stevenson, 38, of Colorado, and her friend Sarah Ernst, 40, of Arkansas, were taking their children to visit Ernst's family on the island. Stevenson, who used to live in Boston and date a man who lived on Nantucket, remembers the anxiety of trying to find a place to park at the ferry landing. "This is much more convenient," she said.
Elizabeth Wurfbain, executive director of the Hyannis Main Street Business Improvement District, said the train has introduced a new group of people to Hyannis — young bicycle enthusiasts.
Bike racks in the first car of the train have hit capacity more than once, forcing the train crew to find other places to stow them.
"It has opened up a crowd of people that wouldn't normally come here because they don't want to drive," Wurfbain said. "Without taking that trip with the car, it's so much more pleasant."
David and Kathleen Brill were headed to Hyannis with their bikes recently, planning to relax at a beach in Dennis on Saturday and ride the Cape Cod Rail Trail, a bicycle path, on Sunday.
The Brills, lawyers who live in Boston and don't have a car, said they usually rent a car or take the bus about once a year to visit the Cape, but plan to come more often because of the train.
"It makes it easier and a lot more fun," said David Brill, 32.
Another carless Boston resident on the train, LouLou Cabour, knitting a sweater to pass the time, was making her fifth CapeFlyer trip to visit her mother in Barnstable.
Cabour, 53, took the train in the 1980s when "nobody was on," and was pleased to see that the new train getting more crowded.
Over the 4th of July weekend, however, she wasn't on it. She was stuck behind the wheel of her mother's car, trying to get off the Cape behind thousands of other people.
Was she wishing she was on the train?
Definitely, she said, recalling hours of braking and accelerating to go just a few miles: "My foot was wishing it."Katie Johnston can be reached at email@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @ktkjohnston.

This is getting really tall. Like as tall as the house.
Getting really tall.
Definatly likes where it is. Have had to trim the Honeysuckle to stop it from overshadowing it too much.
This has suddenly shot up as you should be able to see from the photos.
Looks like its getting along quite nicely.

I'm baffled that people consider the web to be "loosely-coupled" systems. Guess what, when HTML changed versions, people had to upgrade their browsers. The app (browser) changed whenever the user needed more functionality. Say a new version of HTML comes out, maybe even XHTML! Then a whack of servers upgrade to say they will produce according to the new interface. And new apps (the updated browsers) come along and can grok the xhtml. It just so happens that HTML, XHTML, CSS, JPEG, etc. have followed a fairly lengthy centralized standardization process. And we've kind of settled down to our current versions. To prove this point, the current angst over how XHTML 2.0 should define link constructs CLEARLY indicates that the app (browser) is tightly coupled to the interface schema. Maybe it will be the same with PurchaseOrders, Invoices, etc. But for now, we actually want to have it where the interfaces are defined in a decentralized manner, rather than through a centralized ever-speedy standards process. <rant> I think we should stop kidding ourselves that we are building loosely coupled systems when we have well-defined interfaces and protocols. We certainly have loose coupling between the applications environments, like Perl/Java/Python; OSes; app server environments; and the messages. Heck, our software provides about a few different "mapping" layers between xml and Java. But fundamentally, if the interface changes, software on both sides has to change. It can sometimes be nicely isolated from the application by the mapping layer, but more often than not it can't. I highly doubt that I could change a purchase order schema, and not change the application. Try just changing a string Name into a structure of firstname/lastname and you are doomed. There are over 10 000 rules for how to figure out firstnames from last names in a string, so the darned sending software is going to be in hell trying to figure the separation rules in this "mythical" mapping layer that's supposed to insulate it from change. "Just put XSLT in between" doesn't cut it in any way. We are living through the agony of this in all the darned infrastructure vocabularies - like the changes that occur in the ws-security schemas - so why wouldn't the app vocabs? The web isn't loosely coupled between the interface schema and the implementations, it's just that the evolution has almost stopped and we don't remember all the times we had to rev our browser. And we've now got cool "auto-update" features that allow us to get the latest flash player without much effort. The browser has been built to modularize the various places that the changes can occur, so it doesn't appear as disruptive. But it's all still tightly coupled. Change the interface=change a piece of software. Nowhere to hide. The only question is: can you isolate the change to a small piece of software that's on a faster rev cycle than the bigger "container" software? Web services can't run from this problem either. At least we have some great infrastructure pieces to help us deal with change, like soap headers, xml and namespaces, WSDL. </rant> Cheers, Dave > What we are seeing in practice is that all too often > developers take the > easy approach.

We probably would have posted this video out of sheer Star Wars geekdom, but a 7min 10sec lap around the Nürburgring Nordschleife (BTG) is also nothing to scuff at as well. Such is the accomplishment of Andy Carlile, a 33-year-old Englishman living in Germany who was on a mission to be the fastest on two-wheels around the 'Ring.
Setting the record on street-legal Dunlop rubber, perhaps the only thing more impressive than Carlile's lap time is his feat of keeping the squirrely but otherwise mostly stock and street-legal 2005 Yamaha YZF-R1 at bay, as the video shows the massive movement of the bike on braking and acceleration. Jedi mind trick for sure.

Are there any fruits you shouldn't mix in a fruit salad, such as pineapple?
Q: Are there any fruits you shouldn't mix in a fruit salad? In particular mixing pineapple with other fruits.
A: Pineapples contain enzymes which are biological molecules responsible for certain chemical interactions, such as the breakdown of other molecules. For example, the enzyme bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme found in pineapples that breaks down proteins. This is why pineapple and pineapple juice are often used in meat marinades or as meat tenderizers. These enzymes may also cause slight breakdown of other fruits, such as sliced bananas. You may want to try adding your pineapple pieces to the fruit salad right before serving to ensure the fruit maintains texture.

Personal Story
'I Learned the Hard Way About HIV Disclosure'
Debbie Shares the First Things She Thought and Did After Her HIV Diagnosis
October 15, 2013
I am at work in my government job. I took my test two weeks ago. My doctor calls to tell me that I have tested positive. Then he says come into my office now so we can talk. I am crying; it is April of 1990. I have no idea what this means for me.
I went to my boss and told him exactly what I had just been told. This was the first time he would be so very supportive of me. I left work still crying and ran into my then 17-year-old son. He was doing some community service hours at the same facility I worked at. He asked what was wrong so I told him. I explained that I was going to the doctor to learn more and we would talk when we got home. I then called my mom and my good friend at the time and broke the news to them.
I went to the doctor's office, got as much information as I could handle at that moment. This virus was still fairly new for women. My doctor gave me the name of a social worker to contact in my county. When I got home, I spoke with both my mom and my friend. They both had gotten on their phones, started getting information for me also. The info was all the same. There was one lady I could call.
I then got a call from my boss. He was very concerned about me, told me to take as much time as I needed, and oh there was one more thing. Remember, he was so very supportive before? Well, he would be there for me again now. He was letting me know that once I left work, my son came to my co-workers and announced that I had AIDS and he did not know how to deal with it. By the end of Day One, I had learned the hard way about "disclosure."
From Debbie: I am a 59-year-old, single mom raising my almost-13-year-old daughter. I am also legal guardian for a little boy that is now 3 years old. He has been with us since he was 7 weeks old. I live in California, work on call for a nonprofit organization, and volunteer one day a week delivering groceries to people with HIV/AIDS and no transportation.

It is this powerful thirst coupled with Cypher's hunger for games of chance that leads him to New Orleans' coziest dive-bar the day after Fat Tuesday where one night of seeming misfortune leads to a frighteningly funny reality of subversive politics, corporate greed, backwards logic, and star (double)-crossed romance. In this gripping social satire of modern times, Me and Bobby McGee pokes fun at the inane absurdities ingrained in our society, proving that freedom is truly subjective and karma is not just a philosophy, but a fate that is unwavering. And as an added bonus, for the careful reader and music fan, there are subtle connections throughout the novel to the classic folk song that inspired its title. In a world of terrible truths and impending doom, find out what happens when the only man with the power to stop it... decides not to.

This is so interesting. On my way home yesterday I heard a voice across the street calling: "Hey bypasser! Come closer and touch the screen!" I saw a window of a shop having a screen with this guys face smiling. I had to run across and look further…
(edit: WordPress – Ovi are not very good with each other.
This link should get you to the video.
Your task is to break the bubbles while the time is running. For each section, there is a book under it, and you are awarded 10% off the price of that particular book. The call to action is "walk inside the bookstore and get 10% off from these three books".
It's really simple, but it seems to be attracting people, since there were some 16K games played (dunno the timeframe). This is not a high-traffic pedestrian street. In better location with more addictive gaming experience (toplists etc) it would be collecting crowds, I reckon.
I anyone knows who did this applications, please let me know. I want to talk to you!

In the Engineers' first season under the direction of head coach Paul Dill and participation in the North Eastern Collegiate Volleyball Association New England Division, Tech finished one spot shy of competing in the Conference Championship tournament.
Junior Rob McAndrew was a force to be reckoned with as he earned NECVA Rookie of the Week honors once and was twice selected as the NECVA New England Division Rookie of the Week. In addition, he was named to the Roger Williams University Invitational All- Tournament Team as well as the Endicott College Invitational All- Tournament Team.
Rob McAndrew finished the season ranked sixth in the nation in kill average (4.95) and tied for 12th in block average (1.24). Joining him in the national statistics was sophomore setter Jordan Wan, who was ranked 10th in assist average, dishing out 11.17 helpers per game.
Out of 32 teams in the NECVA, MIT ranked 11th in assists (12.12 per game), service aces (1.84), and digs (12.32). The squad also finished 12th in kills per game, averaging 13.31.
In the Conference statistics, junior Rob McAndrew placed fifth in kills (4.95) and 10th in blocks (1.24) out of 50 players. Sophomore Jordan Wan ranked sixth for assists (11.17) while fellow classmate Bob Aspell was 19th in hitting percentage (.339). Junior Kabir Mukaddam finished 20th in services aces, tallying an average of 0.47 per game.

There is a lot of wheat in the world. More, it seems, each month.
For the seventh month in a row, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) increased its 2011/12 global wheat supply estimate as part of its monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report.
In the report released Jan. 12, USDA estimates global supplies at a record 891 million metric tons (MMT), up 2.7 MMT from last month. Markets reacted negatively to the bearish report last week, even though it only reconfirmed previous estimates.
World production is a major contributing factor to such large global stocks, setting a record for three of the last four years. This year, USDA expects a new record of 692 MMT global production.
Total production estimates increased 2.5 MMT from last month, including a 1.5 MMT increase in Kazakhstan to 22.5 MMT due to nearly perfect growing season weather.
Modest production increases in Russia and Brazil accounted for the rest of the increase. USDA now estimates total Black Sea production at 114 MMT, up 175 percent from last year when major drought greatly cut production.
Ample supplies available
Ample supplies remain despite four consecutive years of record demand.
Total world consumption estimates are up 4 percent from last year to 681 MMT, including a record 131 MMT in feed wheat demand.
The only change in consumption estimates this month was an additional 1.0 MMT of feed wheat usage in Kazakhstan and a 500,000 metric ton
s (MT) reduction in U.S. domestic consumption.
With so much wheat available and such high demand, it follows that world exports are also strong. USDA expects total world trade to reach 139 MMT, which would be the second largest on record if realized.
A 500,000 MT drop in Australian exports offset a Russian increase of the same amount, putting estimates for those countries at 21.0 MMT and 19.5 MMT, respectively.
Estimated U.S. exports increased 700,000 MT raising the current projection to 25.9 MMT.
Higher sales expectations for hard red winter (HRW), hard red spring (HRS) and soft red wheat (SRW) more than made up for reduced sales expectations for white wheat.
Such abundant supplies of wheat pressured prices and weighed on the futures markets last week. In the two days following the report's release, March futures contracts dropped between 2 and 6 percent.
The drop is consistent with a historical trend in which wheat markets have difficulty sustaining prices when the global stocks-to-use ratio (ending stocks divided by total use) is greater than 30 percent. The current global stocks-to-use ratio stands at 31 percent.
The January WASDE did not contain any new or surprising information with regard to wheat. The supply and demand situation has been bearish for wheat all year, but outside factors have created market rallies.
Tight corn stocks, the fluctuating strength of the U.S. dollar and uncertainty in global financial markets all have been major influences on wheat markets so far this marketing year.
While price movements will remain unpredictable in the coming months, the large amount of wheat in the world and increasing wheat usage is certain.

This year's 100th show could prove to be a not-to-be-missed event.
On June 15, the 2009 "Salon de L'Aéronautique et de L'Espace" will open, becoming the 48th Paris Air Show and celebrating its 100 anniversary since starting as a small exhibition for aeroplanes in the Grand Palais of Paris, just off the Champs Elysées. It is also believed to be the 85th anniversary of the first public display of a successfully flown helicopter.
Genesis of the show occurred in 1908 during the 11th Paris Motor Show when that show's organizer, Gustave Rives, set up an aeronautical exhibition for the few flying machines in France at that time. The success of the aeronautical display at the automobile show led the next year to the "Exposition de la Locomotion Aerienne," a full exhibition of aircraft with 380 exhibitors and some 100,000 visitors. The show was hosted by France's first aerospace industries' trade association, the Chambre Syndicale de L'industrie Aeronautique, created by pioneer aircraft manufacturers such as Louis Bleriot, Louis-Charles Breguet and Gabriel Voisin. The aircraft were floated on barges up the Seine and carried on horse drawn wagons to the Grand Palais. That was also the year that Bleriot became the first aviator to fly the English Channel, the largest body of water flown over by aircraft to that date.
The first exhibitors were all French until 1924, when foreign companies (primarily British and German) were allowed to exhibit for the first time. That is also believed to be the first time that a "working" helicopter was included in the show. On April 18, 1924, Marquis Raul Pateras Pescara, an Argentine lawyer and inventor who worked in France and Spain, flew his Pescara Number Three helicopter to a new world record of 736 meters (2,415 feet) in 4 minutes and 11 seconds (roughly 13 km/h or 8 mph) at an altitude of 1.8 meters (6 feet). The helicopter rotor system had a twin coaxial double rotor system, giving it 24 rotor blades. 1924 was also the year the Paris Air Show went from annual to biennial. The Farnborough Air Show, which began in 1932 at Henden, England, went biennial in 1962, with the two shows subsequently alternating years.
The Paris show continued to be held at the Grand Palais until 1946, with interruptions for World War I and World War II. In 1946 it was moved to Orly airport to allow flying displays. It then moved again with the 1953 show to its present site at Le Bourget.
Perhaps the second most significant helicopter event at the Paris Air Show, following Pescara's new helicopter, was the arrival at the 1967 show of two U.S. Air Force HH-3E Jolly Green Giants, flown non-stop from New York to Paris on a 30-hour, 46-minute flight requiring nine in-flight refuelings.
This was not the first helicopter transatlantic flight. In 1952 two U.S. Air Force H-19s flew from the United States to Wiesbaden, Germany, making five stops en route. But it was the first non-stop flight, timed in order to land during the Air Show.
At this year's 100th anniversary show, like the shows before it, helicopters will abound. However, unlike at some of the previous shows, there will not be a "Helicopter Day" where helicopters form the focal point of the show. According to GIFAS, the French Aerospace Industries Association and organizers of the show, the only helicopter activity specifically arraigned for the show will be a helicopter shuttle between downtown Paris and Le Bourget. The shuttle flights will be flown in EC120s and AS 350s by Ixair HeliFrance at a cost of €300 ($410) per person round trip.
The 2009 show is expected to match or exceed previous shows, despite the world's economic condition, according to Louis Le Portz, GIFAS chairman and CEO. He said that there have been a few cancellations, but that those have already been replaced by other companies wanting space. The only real impact is that "there has been some reduction of services by some companies," such as the lavish dinners or receptions normally held by the larger companies. All 350 chalets have now been booked, as well as 100 percent of the stands area and outside space.
Eurocopter will have a major presence at the show, particularly showing off a full-scale mockup of its 16 passenger EC175. The helicopter will be powered by twin Pratt & Whitney PT6C-67E engines rated at 2,000 shp each, and is expected to fly later this year. EASA certification is planned for 2011, with deliveries in 2012.
The company will be exhibiting its aircraft on its static display site outside of Hall 2. These will include either an EC725 from the French Air Force capable of carrying 29 troops plus two pilots or an EC225, the civilian version of the EC725, designed to carry 25 passengers plus pilots; an EC135 that is to be delivered to the French Gendarmerie Air Support Unit; an AS 565 Panther (the last in the Panther line) to be delivered to the Bulgarian Navy; an AS 550 C3 Fennec to be delivered to the Singapore Air Force; and an anti-tank Tiger from the French Army.
The Tiger may be making daily flights during the show, although that had not been fully determined as of early May. Eurocopter will share a stand with EADS, its parent company, in Hall A, number 151, as well as a chalet in Row A of the hospitality chalets.
NH Industries will be exhibiting its NH90, which will be doing daily flight presentations during the show. The NH90 is produced by three European companies: Eurocopter (62.5 percent), AgustaWestland (32 percent) and Fokker (5.5 percent).
AgustaWestland will be displaying virtually its entire range of helicopters at the show, including the AW119 Koala, AW109 LUH, AW129, AW139 in various configurations, and AW149, the Super Lynx and the AW101. The Italian/British company will share Chalet 373 in Row A and Chalet 133 in Row B with Finmeccanica, its parent company. The AW149 is AgustaWestland's newest entry into the helicopter market. First announced at the 2006 Farnborough Air Show, the AW149 is a 7/8 ton class multi-role battlefield variant of the AW139. It is designed to carry up to 16 troops or 12 fully combat equipped soldiers.
Bell Helicopter will be displaying its new 429 and the 407 on static display, as well as using the 429 for customer flights during the show, according to a Bell spokesperson. The 429 is the newest in the Bell product line, derived from the 427 and designed under Bell's Modular Affordable Product Line (MAPL) and powered by twin 625 shp Pratt & Whitney PW207-D1 engines. Bell will display its helicopters in Static Display area D and will have a free standing chalet, the spokesman said.
Bell/Agusta is also expected to have the civilian tiltrotor BA609 on display at the show. Bell/Agusta will have Chalet 385 in Row A.
Boeing will have helicopter representatives at the show, although the only Boeing helicopter on display will be an AH-64A provided by the U.S. Army. A Boeing spokesperson noted that all of the Army's Apaches and Chinooks assets "are actively engaged in field operations" and understandably unavailable. Boeing's representatives will be in Chalet 392, Row A and Chalet 150, Row B.
According to GIFAS, the U.S. Department of Defense will also display a UH-60 Black Hawk.
Sikorsky Aerospace Services is expected to make "significant announcements" on aftermarket products during the show, according to a company spokesman. Details were still being worked as of late April, although GIFAS said that Sikorsky is expected to display the S-92 at the show, and will double up with UTC in Chalet 406, Row A.
MD Helicopters will not have an official presence at the show, although a spokesman noted that top level executives will be attending in order to talk to current and potential clients.
Hindustan Aeronautics, Ltd. will display its ALH DHRUV helicopter, with representatives in Chalet 316, Row A. The DHRUV is a multi-role helicopter for both civil and military roles, including anti-submarine warfare and as an anti-tank/anti-personnel gunship.
Northrop Grumman will be promoting and providing briefs on its MQ-8B "Fire Scout," an unmanned reconnaissance helicopter, at the show. The Fire Scout is currently used by both the U.S. Army and Navy. Company representatives can be contacted in Row B, Chalet 180 and Row A, 420.
With its 100 years of tradition, the Paris Air Show continues to be one of the world's great marketplaces for aerospace industries, not the least of which is the rotorcraft industry. With more than 2,000 companies exhibiting, Le Bourget will be a showcase for the helicopter manufacturers, their products and services providers, and their customers.

I wrote here about the possibility of impeaching President Obama. The predicate for impeachment would be a continued course of overriding and rewriting the laws passed by Congress and enacted with the president's signature (in most instances, Obama's).
Such a course, I argued, would justify impeachment. Moreover, in this scenario impeachment proceedings would not, on balance, hurt the country.
But what about the politics of impeachment? Surely, I contended, Republicans have no obligation to further weaken their position in a futile attempt to drive Obama from office through the impeachment process.
A new Fox News poll sheds some light. By a margin of 74-23, the public responded "No" to this question:
Barack Obama said he will take action to advance his policy goals with or without Congress, and that he'll use executive orders to get around Congress. Do you think this is the way our government is supposed to work, or not?
This result suggests that if Obama persists in overruling Congress by executive fiat, the public might well be amendable to impeachment.
However, Fox News then asked this question:
Regardless of how you think things are supposed to work, do you approve or disapprove of Barack Obama going around Congress and using executive orders?
37 percent approved; 60 percent disapproved. These numbers don't mirror Obama's approval rating in the poll — 42 percent approve; 53 percent disapprove — but they are a long way from the overwhelming consensus that, in theory at least, the president should follow the law.
Before I'd feel comfortable with the politics of impeaching Obama, I would like to see 2-1 disapproval of his policy of overriding Congress through executive orders.
We could reach that point; we're not that far away.
JOHN adds: It doesn't surprise me that some people approve of Obama's use of executive diktat even though they think this isn't "how things are supposed to work." These are people who agree with Obama that Congress is dysfunctional, or "broken," or whatever, and therefore, even though this isn't how the government is supposed to work, Obama should take over and rule by executive decree–within some limits, presumably. What is striking to me in these poll numbers is that, even given this rationale, only 37% say they approve of what Obama is doing.


text: Hallo Greg, Donnerstag, 25. September 2008, meintest Du: Glen, I have had great success with the *right* 10GbE nic and NFS. The important things to consider are: I have to say my experience was different. How much bandwidth will your backend storage provide? 2 x FC 4 I'm guessing best case is 600Mb but likely less. 600 MB/s is already a good value for a SAN-based Storage ;-) What access patterns do the "typical apps" have? All nodes read from a single file (no prob for NFS, and fscache may help even more) All nodes write to a single file (NFS may need some help or may be too slow when tuned for this) All nodes read and write to separate files (NFS is fine if the files aren't too big for the OS to cache reasonably). The number of IO servers really is a function of how much disk throughput you have on the backend, frontend, and through the kernel/filesystem goo. My experience is a 10GbE nic from Myricom can easily sustain 500-700MB/s if the storage behind it can and the access patterns aren't evil. Other nics My experience was this: you get app. half of what you have on blockdevice-level to the network. So i had a setup with 16 x 15k rpm SAS drives. RAID5 on them showed 1.1 GB/s read (limited by PCIe x8 probably) and 550 MB/s write (Controller was LSI 8888ELP). With exporting this to a number of clients i was not able to get more than app. 500 MB/s read and 400 MB/s write with multiple clients. I could show the real measurements if that is of interest. If you look at the hardware that was thrown on the problem the result is a little pathetic. My experience with lustre is that it eats up 10 to 15% of the blockdevice-speed. And the rest you have in the network. So a cheap lustre-setup for scratch would probably include 2 Servers with internal storage and exporting it to the cluster with 10GE or IB. Internal storage is cheap and it is easy to achieve 500+ MB/s on SATA drives. That way you can reach 1 GB/s with just having 2 Servers and 32 to 48 disks involved. from large and small vendors can fall apart at 3-4 Gb so be careful and test the network first before assuming your FS is the troublemaker. There are cheap switches with 2 or 4 10GbE CX4 connectors that make this much simpler and safer with or without the Parallel FS options. I never tested anything but Myricom 10GE but you can find cheap Intel-Based cards with CX4 (and i doubt that they are bad) . The Dell PowerConnect 62xx-Series can give you cheap CX4 uplinks - and you get a decent switch that is stackable. Depending on how big/small and how "scratch" the need is... a big tmpfs/ramdisk can be fun :) I tried once to export tmpfs via NFS - didn't work out of the box.

text: Not really, The architecture of AMD versus Nvidia is quite different. I would encourage each manufacturer to have their own system. So to speak AMD is a low clocked core2 supercomputer @ 64 cores, versus nvidia a 240 processor mips supercomputer. I feel the real limitation is that the achievement of the GPU's only exist on marketing paper. I can also claim my cars engine is capable of driving 20000 miles per hour. Sure it is, in space! A PC processors is just as good as its caches and memory controller is. There is too little technical data about GPU's with respect to bottlenecks, whereas bottlenecks will dominate such hardware of course. If you KNOW what is a bottleneck, then in a theoretic model you can work around it. The few reports from individuals who work fulltime with GPU's who tried writing some number crunching code for it, yes even 32 bits number crunching codes, the practical odds for succes for an individual programmer is too small currently for GPU's. It is a fact that to program those things well, you first need to be hell of a programmer. Those hell of programmers know very well that you need full technical information, even if that means bad news for Nvidia and AMD as suddenly the GPU's look a lot weaker then. If there is technical specifications that also show the bottlenecks very well, then the algorithmic strong among us (trying to not look too much outside of the window), will find some clever solutions to get a specific thing done. This is all paper work. If there is on paper an algorithmic solution, or even a method of how to get something done, then there will be programmers implementing it, as they see no risks. they just see that solution that is gonna give them more crunching power. It is all about risk assesment from programmers viewpoint. Right now the only thing he knows is big bragging stories, he of course realizes that if you do something within the register files of it, that this can be fast, other than that he knows that in the first place it is a GPU meant for displaying graphics and not especially designed just to do numbercrunching. If you go for a platform into the deep, so without information, you just don't do it. At the time, if you went for SSE/SSE2 assembler code, you knew full specs of it, every instruction, every latency of every instruction and so on. To take the step to CONSIDER writing something on a GPU means that the programmer in question is already a total hardcore addict; you really want to get the ultimate achievement out of the hardware to achieve your numbercrunching. The same is true for SSE/SSE2. I would argue writing SSE2 code is tougher than writing for a GPU, from implementation viewpoint seen, under the condition that you DO have a parallel model how to get things done on a GPU. The number of people who know how to write a parallel model on paper that theoretical works and gets the maximum out of crunching hardware that is non trivial to parallellize is just real little. If within a specific specialism that is more than a dozen, that's a lot already. The number of good programmers who can write you that code, in whatever language, is little compared to the total number of programmers, but real huge compared to algorithmic designers who are expert in your field. It will not take long until such solutions are simply posted on the net. That might increase the number of people who toy with GPU's. In itself Seymour Crays statement, "If you were plowing a field, which would you rather use? Two strong oxen or 1024 chickens? " is very true from practical viewpoint; it is simpler to work with 4 cores than with 64, let alone 240, but objectively of course such a majority should be able to beat 2 strong oxen. Doesn't mean it is simple to do it. So the number of persons who start writing solutions there you can really count on a few hands. Most of them currently really are a few students who tried at a card which delivers already in marketing value such tiny amounts of single precision gflops, that it really must get seen as a hobby project of a student who just learns advanced programming a tad better, as their quadcore with existing highly optimized free software is for sure faster. In itself that is very weird, as in itself there is not really anyone who doubts that in the long run many tiny processors are gonna win it for number crunching.
