Here's another interesting observation: In the United States, the average age of permanent deacons is now nearly 64 years of age. In nearly every other region of the world, the average age of permanent deacons is in the mid-40s! When I travel abroad on diaconate matters, it's not unusual for me to hear how the diaconate in the US is a "retirees' club".
Let's set the record straight. Church law states that a MARRIED man should be 35 at the time of ordination as a deacon, and that an unmarried man may be ordained at age 25. In the United States, the bishops have had a long-standing law that ALL candidates for the permanent diaconate, married and single, should be 35 at the time of ordination. This is a US distinction, and not one imposed universally.
The reason for the higher age for married candidates is simple and wise: The church wants to make sure that the married couple has been married for a while and has attained a maturity and stability within their marriage prior to adding on the challenges of ordained ministry. However, while 35 is the norm, it is not absolute. The local diocesan bishop can waive a year off of this requirement (and ordain someone at 34), and if the person is younger than that, Rome will dispense another 2 1/2 years if the bishop requests it. This is not all that unusual.
Finally, a point from history. Prior to the Second Vatican Council, 101 proposals were received from bishops around the world discussing the possibility of ordaining permanent deacons, and many of these proposals were in favor of opening ordination to married men "of a mature age." When this "mature age" was discussed before the Council, it was deterimined to be 40. During the the Council debates on the diaconate in 1963, however, the bishops decided that 40 was too old, and they lowered the age to 35. Clearly the bishops anticipated that these new permanent deacons would still be heavily engaged in the raising of their families and in their secular jobs, careers, and professions. The bishops did not foresee a man who had already helped raise a family and who had already retired from his secular occupations in order to "enter the Church" (that's a rather antiquated expression that used to mean "to enter ordained or religious service").
So, with regard to the age of US deacons, we can ponder about why it has developed as it has here, and even more important, what needs to be done to include younger candidates as the Council had envisioned and hoped, and which in fact, are found in other parts of the world.
This returns us briefly to the posting a made a few days ago about the formation of deacons. I sometimes hear concerns that one reason younger men do not apply for diaconate formation is because the requirements are now too strict to permit a young married man to participate. However, other formation programs around the world are no less strict, and the requirements for ordination no less substantive. So, how do other countries find their younger married candidates?
Just some more to ponder and discuss. . . .
God bless,

Except that nearly all desktop-type applications will run faster -- monolithically, on a desktop machine. So much so that for most of them a decision to parallelize or not requires, lessee, a one second pause followed by "not". Desktop applications with very few exceptions are rate limited by the user, disk, network, other resources, and memory/CPU in that order. They are interactive, so most of what they are doing is waiting for a user to type something or the next mouse click to come in (with hundreds of thousands to millions of cycles of thumb-twiddling between each keystroke). From time to time they have to read or write something to disk, which may be a latency hit (quite long at order milliseconds for an uncached seek) or wait (on a heavily laden system). Or to get something to or from the network, more like microseconds of latency. Or to get to a USB device, a camera, a printer. Way, way out there is CPU and/or memory, and that only if the application in question is very graphically intensive, is e.g. a database or scientific application or the front end of a numerical program. In nearly all cases a CPU bound desktop application is a game (or video or entertainment) of some sort or or it's the kind of thing somebody MIGHT actually invest the work in to parallelize or that parallelizes itself "automatically" on a multi-core system by running in its own thread. The other problem with automated migration of desktop task components is that local memory and threads are fast, remote memory and threads are slow. The network is ALREADY the bottleneck in many desktop apps. Sitting on machine X to run a GUI that goes over the network to machine Y to do its work, which consists of using the network to go to website Z to grab e.g. a movie and then render it on Y and then return the rendered stream to X contains a lot of redundant, probably slow steps, and rendering IS relatively CPU intensive. It usually requires some actual thought about design and scaling to determine if EVEN a CPU intensive application benefits from parallelization; I'm not optimistic that we're going to see desktop apps with parallel back ends anytime soon and probably never automatically, although sure there will always be a few things people take the time to parallelize right that clearly benefit from it and where the benefit matters in human terms. As it is, almost by DEFINITION parallelization of desktop apps doesn't matter, in human terms, except that it would probably slow them down. rgb > > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > Robert G.

We are a family of Loves who are trying to find the ancestors of our gggrandfather, Clinton Love, born 1804 in NY.We have been told the following: *Visited with the historians at the Santa Fe Trail Center here at Ft. Larned, KS. She says she is sure this is Lt. John Love that served in the Army during the and before the Civil War. She also said rumor had it that Lt. Johns father was General LOVE from VA. Gen. Loves first wife. *Luci* Clinton Love died in child birth in early 1800s. The General left his child with wifes family, and returned to his post. Gen. LOVE later remarried a southern girl in TN. but never could return for his son. This attached photo has the name John H. Love written on back. Clinton had a son, John, who was a casualty of the Civil War, however he died at age 33 as a private.This John appears older than 33 and I think his frockcoat indicates some rank such as Lt, Lt.Col, or Major.We think this man may be a half-brother of our Clinton Love, but we have nothing to substantiate this. Maybe someone will see this photo and recognize this man. At least we would like a verification of his rank according to the uniform. Keywords: CW Soldier 23614

Selena Gomez Has Got Lots of Support from Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift is helping Selena Gomez with her relationship troubles. The 22-year-old country singer, who is rumoured to be dating One Direction star Harry Styles after splitting from Conor Kennedy recently, was spotted on a girls' night out with the 20-year-old actress on 17 November.
The best friends enjoyed dinner at Osteria La Buca in Hollywood following Selena's disastrous date with her on-again/off-again boyfriend Justin Bieber on 16 November during which she stormed out after 10 minutes because they had a huge argument.
Justin, who was dumped by Selena two weeks ago after almost two years together because she reportedly didn't trust him, was seen chasing her back to her house where she refused to open her security gates for him forcing him to leave but he is said to have returned a few hours later and spent the night.
The Love You Like A Love Song singer has now turned to her friends for support and was spotted clutching on to Taylor's arm as they exited the restaurant.
Their outing comes just weeks after Taylor revealed she only talks to her friends about boys.
The We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together singer said: " We never talk about fashion, about career, about our ambitions or our projects. We just talk about relationships, feelings, love, and boys."

Edgar Lee Masters was born in Garnett, Kansas, on August 23, 1868, but soon after his birth his family moved to Lewistown, Illinois, the town near Springfield where Masters grew up. His youth was marred by his father's financial struggles with a faltering law practice and reluctance to support his son's literary interests. Masters attended Knox College for a year but was then forced by the family's finances to withdraw and continue his studies privately. He was admitted to the bar in 1891, and he moved to Chicago in 1892, where he found a job collecting bills for the Edison Company. He gradually built a successful law practice, and for eight years he was the partner of Clarence Darrow. In 1898 he published his first collection, A Book of Verses, and married Helen Jenkins. His first books, some of which were published under pseudonyms, showed strong influences from the English Romantic poets and Edgar Allan Poe.
During this time Masters considered writing a novel about the relationships of people in a small Illinois town. This idea was transformed through a chance acquaintance. Masters had been submitting poems to Marion Reedy, the editor of Reedy's Mirror in St. Louis. While Reedy didn't publish these poems, he kept up the correspondence and gave Masters a copy of J. W. Mackail's Selected Epigrams from the Greek Anthology. After reading these, Masters felt the challenge to adopt the idea for his novel into this form, combining free verse, epitaph, realism, and cynicism to write Spoon River Anthology, a collection of monologues from the dead in an Illinois graveyard. The Spoon River of the title is the name of an actual river in Illinois, but the town combines Lewistown, where Masters grew up, and Petersburg, where his grandparents lived. These poems were serialized in Reedy's Mirror from 1914-15, and then discovered by Harriet Monroe, the editor of Poetry, who helped Masters issue a complete edition in 1915. Spoon River Anthology was wildly successful, going through several editions rapidly and becoming one of the most popular books of poetry in the history of American literature. His success and friendship with Monroe also brought him into the Chicago Group and contact with such poets as Carl Sandburg and Vachel Lindsay.
Masters was never to equal the success of Spoon River Anthology. He published thirty-nine more books, including novels, plays, collections of poetry, and biographies of Lindsay, Mark Twain, Whitman, and Lincoln. In 1917, Masters left his family; he and his wife would divorce in 1923. In 1920 Masters gave up his law firm and moved from Chicago to New York City, where he retired to the Chelsea Hotel to write. In 1926 he married Ellen Coyne, thirty years his junior. In his later years, Masters received several awards based on his earlier successes, including a Poetry Society of America Award, the Shelley Memorial Award, a grant from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Academy Fellowship in 1946. He died March 5, 1950, in a convalescent home in Philadelphia and was buried in Petersburg, Illinois.

* Q3 operating profit 218 bln won vs 306 bln won fcast
* Mobile loss widens to 80 bln won from 4 bln won loss year
* TV profits improve to 124 bln won from 29 bln won year ago
SEOUL, Oct 24 (Reuters) - South Korea's LG Electronics Inc
, the world's No.2 TV maker, reported its lowest
quarterly profit for 2013 on Thursday as its mobile business
slipped into the red due to the cost of marketing its latest
LG tried to strike a blow against mobile industry leaders
Samsung Electronics Co Ltd and Apple Inc in
August with the lavish launch in New York of its G2 handset, and
plans to follow up with a curved phone in the coming weeks.
But earnings may remain under pressure for the remainder of
the year thanks to slow TV shipments, even though the G2 phone
will contribute more to the company's bottom line in the
October-to-December period after a full quarter of sales.
Third-quarter operating profit rose 27 percent to 218
billion won ($206 million), below a consensus forecast of 306
billion won by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. The July-to-September
earnings compared with 171 billion won a year ago and 479
billion won in the second quarter.
The world's third biggest smartphone manufacturer said its
handset operation made an 80 billion won loss, versus a 4
billion won loss a year ago and a 61 billion won profit in the
second quarter.
In the television business, LG said profits improved to 124
billion won compared with 29 billion won a year ago. Margins
stood at 2.5 percent, their highest since the second quarter of
last year.
The profit growth was attributed to tight marketing
expenditure, which helped iron out a fall in revenues from a
year ago largely due to the weak Chinese market.
Global television manufacturers are battling slumping demand
growth in China as well as in developed markets where households
have replaced cathode ray tube TVs with flat-screen models.
They are betting bigger-ticket products such as ultra
high-definition (UHD) models and organic light emitting diode
(OLED) lineups help counter slowing TV shipments, even if high
production costs price them beyond reach for many consumers.
LG has slashed the price of its 55-inch UHD a couple of
times this year. Even so they still sell for some 5 million won
($4,700), around double the price of standard LCD TVs.
Shares in LG have fallen nearly 4 percent over the past
three months, lagging the wider market's 7 percent gain.
They were trading down 0.4 percent after the result in a
flat market.

The Tannerite Exploding Rifle Target ProPak 20 1/2 Target Kit is one of the most fun targets you can buy when used as directed. Tannerite is a binary explosive used primarily to make targets for firearms practice. Tannerite is unique because it is exceptionally stable when subjected to less severe forces such as a hammer blow, being dropped, or shot with a rimfire. The targets are supplied as two powders, that when carefully combined as indicated in the instructions, produce an explosive target. The two individual components are completely safe and stable by themselves, and will not explode until mixed together. Tannerite detonations only occur when the target is hit with a bullet at high velocity, producing a large explosion and cloud of water vapor. This is useful for long range shooting practice, as you get immediate feedback when a target is hit.
Carefully read all instructions before using Tannerite Targets!
Technical Information:
Kit includes twenty 1/2 lb. Targets
Recommended Minimum Shooting Distance: 100 Yards
Warning: Misuse of this product can result in serious bodily injury, destruction of property, and/or loss of life or limb. Keep away from children. Use eye and ear protection and follow all firearm safety standards. Use only in clear areas free from all flammable material and debris that could become projectiles.

By mixing this product, you state that you understand and will follow these directions, and release the producer and/or distributor of this product from any liability from the use or misuse of this product.

Ferguson wants focus from United
Sir Alex Ferguson has told his Manchester United players to dismiss the critics and concentrate on reclaiming the Premier League title.
United extended their unbeaten run to 20 matches this season and opened up a three point lead over nearest challengers Manchester City and Arsenal thanks to a 2-1 win over Stoke at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.
Yet even two excellent goals from Javier Hernandez and Nani left many feeling underwhelmed at the general performance of the team, but Ferguson said: "We are an easy target for that kind of thing. But we just have to dismiss it and concentrate on our ambitions and that is to win the league."
No one could quibble about the quality of United's goals.
Hernandez struck for the ninth time in his debut campaign, meeting Nani's low cross with a deft back-flick that took it past Asmir Begovic.
Then, after Dean Whitehead had nodded home a shock leveller five minutes into the second period, Nani clinched the points, curling home in sublime fashion after the Portugal winger had been given too much time to turn on the edge of the area.
From Hernandez in particular, it was the perfect response after the Mexican was given his chance whilst Wayne Rooney rests the ankle injury that he suffered at West Brom on Saturday.
"Of course it gives me a problem when Wayne is fit," said Ferguson.
"But that is the kind of problem you want. Over the years, the strikers I have had have always given me that problem.
"That is Chico's job. And as long as he keeps putting the ball in the net, he is giving me those problems."

How many teams have owners sold in recent years. If there's a big turn over it's bad sign. How many owners have gotten out of the NFL...few... that's a good sign. I was surprised recently when Manchester United after thoughts of making their IPO at $19 ended up at $14. There's no appetite today for risky investment. Plus the league does have reputation for attracting shady characters who I certainly wouldn't want to rub shoulders with
Billionaires are just that because they don't get sucked into bad deal, hello Warren Buffet !
The Ontario teachers pension fund wants out of the Leaves and that's the best franchise in the league!!!, a license to print money. So may i ask if they're making that much why do they want out ? answer they can do better else where

My full name is Oluwatosin Oreoluwa Ojumu.
I am a born again Christian writer, blogger and webdesigner. I write under a few different pen names, some of which are variations of my own name.
Under this name "Oluwatosin Ojumu", I write mainstream (non faith-based) contemplative poetry and literary fiction. My poetry is mostly inspired by nature, and art, and beauty, and themes of memory, imagination, time, consciousness and explorations of other abstract concepts. I am currently writing a range of "Études" or "Studies" based on some of these concepts.
My fiction is largely based on and inspired by existing classic works from great authors like George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Jane Eyre.
Under "Tosin Ojumu", (the shortened version of my first name) I write mostly Christian material. I am producing an open translation of the Bible (New Testament) called "The Open Bible". I also write articles about my opinions on various Church and Christian matters, and I maintain a blog about my expectations and hopes for Christian marriage called "Finding Mr Huggie-Wuggie". This is also the pen-name I use for other non-fiction, including opinion articles about issues unrelated to my faith.
Under my middle name "Ore Oluwa" I plan to publish works about creative arts and crafts - hopefully coming soon!
I also plan to publish a few works under completely anonymous pen-names....! ;)

be in (one's) pocket(redirected from be in pocket)
be in (one's) pocket
To be under the direct control or influence of someone or some group. The term has a negative connotation. It's pretty obvious that our national legislators are all in the corporate bigwigs' pockets! The principal has been in the superintendent's pocket ever since he started the job.

Zimmern's addiction to drugs and alcohol led him to contemplate suicide. Luckily, he has now been clean and sober for almost twenty years.
After doing heroin, eating cow testicles and all that other junk probably isn't so bad.

Headlines can be misleading, and in a time of financial crisis, that can make matters worse.
Pick up a paper, or listen to the quick bursts of news on TV or radio, and what you get are reports of a subprime crisis, a "banking" crisis and market turmoil. That's only intensified on the rare occasion that a bank fails.

We learn best, not from what we are told, but from what we have lived. We appreciate and treasure least, what we have in abundance. Here's a story that might surprise you. I hope you make it to the end.
China is in all the news these days with the Olympics now in full swing. I love watching the Olympics. The sheer variety of sports, competition and nonstop action lures in even us with little athletic ability. But I have a different story I wanted to tell you about. It's on China itself.

It's August now, and students across the country are preparing to start school. As they start a new chapter in their life, I'm closing one of mine.
Since May, I've been interning at The Lebanon Enterprise and The Springfield Sun. It's crazy thinking back to my first day in my apartment.
Dear editor,
I wanted to share an issue that has been irritating a lot of teenagers around Springfield. We recently lost our right to sit around and hang out in our own town. I don't understand why it is such a big deal if we sit in town on the weekends. I understand that people were leaving their trash in the parking lots, but if people would agree not to litter, then we should get our old freedom back.
Our local 11-12-year-old boys all-star team visited the Pleasure Ridge Park High School Sports Complex July 19-23 and competed against very strong teams from Nelson, Boyd, and Monroe counties at the Kentucky State Tournament.
Though their 1-2 record did not make them eligible for the semi-finals, we missed going to the semi-final game by only six runs given in the Nelson county game. Not making the semi-finals was a heart-breaker, but I and many others who watched the all-stars play saw that they as a team did not give up.
You never know what kind of person you are until something incredibly bad happens. It's how you react to what happens that reveals how deep your strength is. Sometimes, what you bring to light in these terrible times will inspire people you don't even know.
I heard this story and believe it to be true. It's regarding the recent accident involving Thomas Riney.
Editor's Note:
The following letter was submitted to Patsy Lester, chair of the Washington County School Board, in support of Mr. Robert Stafford, the new superintendent of Washington County Schools. The letter is being printed here to show the quality of the candidate our local school system has received in the hiring of Stafford. The letter was written by Mark W. Cleveland, superintendent of Owen County Schools and Stafford's former employer.
Dear Ms. Lester,
While sitting at my desk recently, a few things crossed my mind. Some are important, some maybe not so much. Still, they were on my mind, and I think I'll share.
• A terrible thing happened to Justin Hatchett on June 18, when the recent Washington County High School graduate was injured in a tractor accident on his family's farm. Hatchett remains hospitalized at the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington. He has been through numerous surgeries and taken more than 60 units of blood during his stay.

18 Years.
I believe that's how long it's been since Washington County fielded a team of 11- and 12-year-old boys in the Kentucky Little League tourney. But an incredible group of youth has broken that drought this year. They will play their first game in these state playoffs this coming Saturday in Louisville.

On June 25, horror swept through the town of Henderson, Ky., after a shooting took place at Atlantis Plastics leaving five dead, including the gunman, Wesley N. Higdon.
Now, almost three weeks later, WHAS 11 has reported that the video has surfaced due to a Freedom of Information Act filed by the Associated Press.
The video WHAS 11 showed was edited, and the main things I saw on T.V. were Higdon walking around Atlantis Plastics with a gun in his hand and an employee calling 911.
By Jeff D'Alesio
The conversation lasted no more than two minutes between three friends.
One in the group had learned earlier that high school friends had had a death in their family: Their 12-year-old son.
A healthy, sports loving child never woke up.
A snap of a finger and life turns tragic.
It would be insulting to those parents who have lost a child, particularly at such a young age, to try and express that I know how they feel. I don't and pray that I never do.
Summer Intern
I was in Target over the weekend and one magazine cover caught my eye. It was an article in OK! Magazine with Jamie Lynn Spears, Casey Aldridge and their newborn baby girl. They were all smiles, but I couldn't help notice something more.
"Kids. You can't beat'em. At least not where it shows."
Unnamed Sister-In-Law
When I was 30 I thought God planned on me spending my life as a lonely old bachelor. Yep, nothing was on the horizon and I was resolved that my lot was to live all by my onesy.
That God, what a kidder.
A year later marriage came.
Every now and then I hear a song that really makes me think about life. As I drove to my apartment the other day "Just a Dream" by Carrie Underwood was one of those songs for me. Up to that point I had been in my own little world, not really paying attention to the music, but for some reason this song just snapped me back into reality.

Life-long Oneida resident and Dispatch columnist releases first book
ONEIDA - There's a familiar new name on the list of local authors: Hank Leo Jr.
Born and raised in Oneida, his day job is chief executive officer of the YMCA. He serves on the Oneida City School District Board of Education and is treasurer of the Greater Oneida Chamber of Commerce, having recently stepped down as its president, plus a host of other community organizations.
Leo received some of his first published writing opportunities as a guest columnist with the Oneida Daily Dispatch.
In his book "Home When the Street Lights Come On," Leo crafts page after page of local humor documenting his unique take on everyday situations. He shares his heartwarming stories about his family, and laughable experiences at local stores and the Post Office.
"I really like the stories about getting stuck in the car wash and the dog incident, but I guess my favorite is the poem about my dad," Leo said. While the whole book took about two years to write, Leo indicated that that story took him the longest.
"I've never written poetry before, and wanted to find a way to weave fishing into going through chemotherapy. It wasn't easy. But, neither was going through cancer treatments and not being able to enjoy your favorite thing in life. I remember writing the first part at the oncologist's office and the second part on the boat on Oneida Lake. It took me months to get it exactly the way I wanted it."
Asked about his inspiration to write this book, Leo indicated that his family is the constant source of his stories -"They are funny, wonderful people, They provide the subject matter," Leo said.
Leo indicated that he owes a great deal of gratitude to the Dispatch for giving him the initial opportunity to write the column and share stories. Leo started out by writing articles as a Chamber of Commerce feature on local businesses. "In the past two years, I've interviewed over 100 Oneida area businesses and got to know them, their operations, business philosophy, and reasons for working in Oneida. There are many common themes. People love being here, have wonderful memories of growing up here, and love raising their families in Oneida," Leo said,
According to Leo, the title for his book "Home When the Streetlights Come On" is a direct quote from his mother - and every other mother in the neighborhood where he grew up.
"All of us kids in the neighborhood would play outdoors all day and into the evening. We organized ourselves, we took care of each other. My mom and dad were moms and dads to every kid in the neighborhood and so were all of the other moms and dads. You were in as much trouble with the neighbor as you were with your own family if you did something wrong. And, if you did something good, everyone knew that too, Leo said.
Asked about any advice for someone out there who dreams of also someday publishing a book,. Leo encouraged would-be authors to make sure they first have a strong foundation, then explore, dream, think and determine their own, unique voice.
"Once you find your own voice, storytelling is quite easy. Writing allows you to be free. And, it's a healthy activity. This is true whether it's a diary, novel or instructional manual," Leo said. He acknowledged one of his own teachers -- Deb Longnecker -- a mentor who helped him with editing and structure.
Reviews have outstanding so far. Remarks posted on Amazon.com to describe Leo's book by its customers range from "The perfect read," to "Everything in this book is relatable and funny." "Witty and entertaining," and "I can't wait for the next book."
Leo's premiere book is available on Amazon, and on Kindle. It can be purchased at Oneida Commons as well.
Leo indicated that he is almost finished with his second book. His next scheduled book is a children's book, about a dog giving advice to a child. In this book he not only does the writing but also the illustrations. He said the artwork will be a challenge "but I'm practicing."

The Barry Bonds perjury trial is heating up, and we've finally reached the point where the prosecution wants to know about Barry Bonds' balls, back-ne, and hat size.
She testified that, at one point, he had "a big lump … [that] looked awful" in his elbow. Bonds told her that steroid use caused the muscle and tendons to outgrow the joint. "It blew out," she said. She also said that Bonds talked about the widespread use of steroids among baseball players. "He mentioned that other players do it and that's how they got ahead, that's how they achieved," Bell said.
Bell testified to changes in Bonds' physical condition, saying that his sexual performance declined and that his testicles shrank. He developed acne on his back and grew (and shaved) chest hair, according to Bell.
Bonds' hat size also grew an eighth of an inch over nine years. That doesn't sound like a big deal, especially when dude is shaving his chest and watching his own testicles shrivel into oblivion. Did Bonds also start carrying a purse? Buying copious quantities of black shoes? Because that's the only way I'll care. Everyone know that Bonds was on some kind of juice, and yet no one can prove it. Having tiny nuts doesn't amount to perjury, which has to be an enormous relief for Brett Favre.
But you know who has a huge head? Placido Polanco. That dude's a walking Veggie Tale.

HPC nodes go in, and they don't come out. Unless they break, and if you get high quality nodes, breaking is unlikely. > think of it this way: by omitting a proper rack and rails, you could probably > save something like $60/node. can you think of a better way to spend $2400 > (per rack)? admittedly, that's probably only a few percent of total cost. And don't forget the ten or twenty minutes of human labor required to mount the nodes on the rails, one at a time. Take rails out of box, out of back. Pull out bag of screws. Ditto the node. Set node on side. Line up rail with holes. Not these holes, those holes. Oops, make sure the front is facing the right way and that the rail marked L is on the left side. If not, do over. Place screws in little holes. Oops, dropped one. Fish it out with magnetic driver. Use electric screwdriver to tighten them down. Mount matching part of rail in rack. Hope the screws all work; don't cross thread them and worry about burrs in the holes (seems like at least one screw won't work in any given rack). Hold node up to rails, line it up, snap it in. Make sure it rolls in and out (or slides, if you have truly cheap rails). Slide it all the way in, move on to next one. Even at FIVE minutes per node, this is 200 minutes for a 40+U rack, well over three hours of work. And it could easily be 2-3 times that. Add in labor costs at a measely $40/hour and you're up to $4000 per rack in costs. That said, I have to say that I think rails are usually worth it in a professional-grade cluster (one that other people's money is paying for, where downtime is an issue) just like I think that 3-4 year service contracts are worth it and that racks are worth it compared to heavy duty steel shelving. Ultimately, these all reduce downtime later, reduce the time and personal effort required to get a cluster back online when something breaks. And it looks a lot better, which actually does (sometimes) matter when your grant officer comes to call, when you need to show pictures of your cluster when applying for money to augment or replace it. A tough call -- $2400 to $4000 buys one more node, basically, per rack, perhaps a 2.5% increase in capacity. But you still have to spend SOMETHING to stack up the nodes one way or another, so you don't really save all of this (unless you stack them right up on the floor with no rack at all, the bottom node supporting the weight of the entire stack). And if you do this and a low node dies, you may well have to shut down and disassemble the entire stack to get at the node. Even if it IS a CBA win, this is a PITA at an unscheduled time, where building the cluster in the first place is scheduled and unavoidable. Who knows what your time (or cluster runtime) will be "worth" the minute the node dies? It could be right before a conference and you might need every node to finish that last data point. Not a good time to shut down a stack just to get at a node. Doubly ungood if you're running the cluster for a bunch of users, as they are OFTEN going to be in this sort of time-pressured situation -- it is human nature. rgb > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit > http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > Robert G.

While the victim is recovering, possibly while the victim is still in the hospital, he or she gets a call from the negligent driver"s insurance company. Unfortunately, insurance companies are notoriously difficult to work with when pursuing compensation for your injuries and medical expenses. If you or someone you know has been in a car collision caused by someone else"s negligence, you can depend on our lawyers. You might be able to schedule a doctor's appointment ahead of time, let your family and friends know you won't be able to make it to work or to your prior commitments and give your insurance company a heads up.

Our car accidents attorneys in Walton County 32550 recover compensation for people injured in auto accidents as well as in truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, drunk driver accidents and car-pedestrian accidents.

Our Florida car accident attorneys have handled auto accident cases throughout our 45 years of combined experience.
What to do after a car accident?
It is likely that prior to the crash in question, the at-fault driver violated one, if not several, rules of the road.

The amount seems reasonable on the surface, so the victim accepts the offer. We dedicate our practice to working for injured individuals and their families — not the powerful insurance companies.

NAHBS: Day one – Vanilla, Parlee, Della Santa
Feast your eyes on this
The 2009 North American Handmade Bicycle Show (NAHBS) opened its doors February 27 to roughly 1,700 attendees hailing from as far as Hawaii, Japan and beyond.
Though tighter restrictions (two years in business or fifty frames built plus requisite liability insurance) perhaps culled some fresher framebuilding talent, nearly all of the major players were on hand for what looks to be the busiest NAHBS to date.
Vanilla Bicycles unveils round three of Speedvagen program
Not surprisingly, Sacha White's Vanilla Bicycles booth was among the most heavily traveled on day one with his usual array of eye candy that included a beautiful bare stainless steel and baby blue townie and several other showstoppers from past NAHBS editions. Those wanting a Vanilla of their own hopefully already have an order in place though as White is still not accepting new orders. Even after having spent the last year working through the backlog, some existing orders are still four years out.
In the meantime, White showed off a third member of his racer-specific Speedvagen line: an all-steel TIG-welded track bike. As with the 'cross and road versions, the track bike features a number of clever White innovations such as ultra-beefy dropouts that are a whopping 15mm thick but still reasonably light courtesy of hollow construction.
Dropouts on the show bike were fully machined – the driveside one then had plates brazed on to either side to box it in but the non-driveside one was left open to show the interior. White says that production versions will ultimately be cast and he also plans on using a similar design for new Speedvagen 'cross frames.
Up front, the Speedvagen track bike also features a custom-butted top tube with additional reinforcement where the bars would contact in the event of a crash, a 'Speedvagen' logo cut right into the head tube and backed by a carbon fiber insert, and a new full-carbon track fork from Edge Composites with a stiff lay-up and tight clearances.
Availability of Speedvagen track frames in 2009 will be limited solely to a local Portland track team for testing but White is already taking orders for delivery in 2010. He plans to offer just 15 of them that year though, with production to increase to 30 in 2011. Time to line up!
Long-time NAHBS exhibitor Parlee showed off a custom Z1 road flagship complete with newly added integrated seatmast and BB30 bottom bracket shell options. According to Parlee's Tom Rodi, there had been enough requests from customers to justify adding it in and the weight savings, extra drivetrain stiffness and roomier heel clearance just lent more substance to the idea.
Rather than use a bonded-in aluminum or titanium bottom bracket insert though Parlee's BB30 shell is bare carbon. Rodi says that the lay-up was reconfigured specifically to deal with the added load of pressed-in bearings and the direct fit offers better alignment as well. Claimed weight for the display frame is just 940g.
Also on hand were a track variant of the Z1 and a 'cross frame based on the Z2/Z3 – both now in full production and finally available to customers – as well as a belt-driven single-speed 'cross bike using a Carbon Drive Systems drivetrain.
Just in case your current winter beater just isn't doing the trick (and you've got a lot of money burning a big hole in your pocket), yes, Parlee can also do fender and rack mounts – in carbon fiber, of course.
Della Santa
Legendary framebuilder Roland Della Santa's long history includes such notable clients as Greg LeMond and now celebrates four decades of framebuilding with a limited run of special-edition frames – all of which will feature his remaining stock of Nervex Pro lugs.
Della Santa will build the frames as 1970s period pieces, right down to the Campagnolo brake housing loops, dropouts, fork tips, and bottom bracket cable guides – brazed on top of the shell. Gorgeous Masi seat stay 'spoons' are brazed up top and three slots are hand-filed into the bottom bracket shell.
A single set of water bottle braze-ons grace the down tube and all of the frames will be finished in pearl white with red panels and accents. Customers will have the option of 120, 126, or 130mm rear axle spacing and 47 or 52mm brake drops.
Della Santa says he will only be able to offer twenty anniversary framesets – limited by his stock of the long-defunct lugs – and three have already been pre-sold.

Buda family renovates old house in six months
SAN ANTONIO – In six months, a family of seven managed to completely renovate a 105-year-old farmhouse, transforming it into the home of their dreams.
In the city of Buda, just south of Austin, the Hatmaker family transformed their new purchase into a modern- and country-styled haven -- all documented by HGTV.
The show, "My Big Family Renovation," features the Hatmakers and their journey through the renovation of the 2,400-square-foot house, which they lived in during the six months.
In her blog, Jen Hatmaker, writes that although the six months took a toll on her and her family's lives, it was worth it. She, an author, blogger and motivational speaker, adds that a year ago, when HGTV wanted to feature her family for the show, the family was "wobbly" because of the strains of her career.
During the show, the family spent much-needed time together, and Jen's husband, Brandon, an author and pastor, said the show "saved" them. The two have three biological children and two adopted children.
"It really did. Because we worked side-by-side together all day, every day," Jen Hatmaker writes. "We had a blast. We laughed and giggled and enjoyed each other to shreds."
The family bought the house last year in downtown Buda. They wanted a house with an old, unique and charming twist, Jen Hatmaker told the Huffington Post.
She adds that the house is a registered historical home in the city, and was built in 1908 by a developer who built other historical buildings in the city. The first occupant was a farmer, but it was later sold to the city's first Justice of the Peace.
"It has been through numerous renovations and is nearly as old as the town," she told the newspaper.
The family managed to transformed the "choppy" house from a two bedrooms to a six bedroom house. Though, the family had many challenges throughout the experience.
Since the family stayed in the house during the renovations, they endured freezing temperatures during the winter, fast food every day, and even the company of dead rodents.
"Looking back, we cannot believe how much work we did with our own hands and how beautiful the house turned out," Jen Hatmaker told the newspaper. "... And now every day, without fail, I look around the house and say to whoever is in the room, 'I can't believe we get to live here.' It is so lovely, so special. We are grateful beyond words."
The show will air at 10 p.m. CST Thursday on HGTV.

Intel forces server chums to fend for themselves
Have you heard about Tukwila?
IDF Server aficionados were left wanting at this year's China-flavored Intel Developer Forum. The company kept banging on and on and on about something called a MID, which is neither a PDA nor an ultra mobile PC. The important difference between a MID and something else, according to Intel, is new usage models.
Whatever. They're not 128-way SMPs, so we don't care – except over on HardReg where we do.
Intel's server chip chief Pat Gelsinger did make an appearance here where he re-summarized several months of announcements. In addition, Gelsinger clocked customers and partners with a monkey stick and showed off Tukwila – the upcoming addition to Intel's Drunken Uncle processor line – for the first time. It ran Solaris on top of Red Hat.
With Intel spending all of its time playing with toys, it was up to the partners to do the dirty work.
The FPGA co-processor lads from XtremeData were here. You can see their tri-chip blasting through a batch of Black Scholes.
Take that Black Scholes
Gear from former AMD CTO Fred Weber's shop MetaRAM was all over the place as well. Everywhere we turned, someone wanted to shove a double-stuffed Hynix DIMM at us.
This board shows off MetaRam's DDR3 play with Intel's upcoming "Thurley" platform that will use the Nehalem chips.
Double-stuffed Thurley
And again.
The touch, the feel of MetaRAM
We'd tell you all about the fantastic other server gear, but sadly, everything else was pretty bog standard. So, we'll leave you with heatsink porn courtesy of Dynatron.
Heatsink Glory
And the glamor shot.
Isn't she lovely
All hail the monkey stick. ®

Graduation Year: 2015
Major: Biology
What major did you intend to do when you first started here? Biology
What do you hope to do when you graduate? I want to attend medical school.
What is your favorite movie(s)? "Fight Club," "The Departed," "The Matrix"
What is a random fact about you? I am a big basketball and football fan.
What do you like about UWB? As most people will tell you, the best part about UWB is the small class sizes. This enables you to be able to build meaningful relationships with your professors. At first I was intimidated to approach my professors, but I soon learned they are there to help you and most importantly, they want to help you.
What surprised you about UWB? I was surprised about how much I initially liked UWB. I originally thought I may transfer to UW Seattle after my first year, but I discovered that UWB was a perfect fit. In a sense it reminded me of the town in which I grew up: community oriented, small population, and everyone is friendly.
What has been your favorite class you've taken and why? I am sure this will come as a surprise to most, but the Organic Chemistry sequence have been my favorite classes I have taken. I really enjoyed the content, but what I liked must about the classes was the principle it taught me; in order to succeed you must put in the time and effort. It is a very empowering feeling to do well in a class that has such a large reputation as being brutally challenging. I will apply the work ethic that got me through that class to the rest of my academic career.
What is your favorite thing to do at UWB? My favorite thing to do at UWB is to get together with my friends for lunch. I also enjoy renting out some of the baseball equipment from Student Life and going out to the sports field on a sunny day.
How are you involved on the campus? I recently founded a pre-heath club on campus along with some of my colleagues. It is brand new so we are still in the initial stages of starting up the club. But I encourage anyone who is interested in pursuing a career in the medical, dental, or pharmaceutical field to join!
What advice would you give a high school student about going to college? If you study hard in high school, it will make the transition to college a much easier and more enjoyable journey. Just remember that every time you stay up late studying, you are opening up more and more doors for yourself that will be waiting for you in the future. Lastly, never get discouraged if you think you aren't "smart" enough for college. As Freeman Hrabowski said, "Being smart simply means that you are eager to learn and you are ready to learn."

Planet X unveil 2012 road bikes (video)
Introducing the N2A, Exocet 2, Guru Special and RT57
For 2012 Planet X have placed a much greater emphasis on designing and developing their own carbon fibre road frames, without losing sight of the value for money they built their reputation on. Here's a quick look at four key new models.
The carbon Nanolight N2A is a radical overhaul of the Nano, developed using a mountain of pro rider feedback and featuring all-new, aero-tuned frame forms. The press-fit BB30 bottom bracket keeps weight low and boosts drivetrain stiffness, and this is carried up through the gargantuan down tube which blends seamlessly into the head tube.
This hides both an on-trend tapered-steerer carbon fork and some very neat internal cable routing, with internal guides for easier maintenance. With these technological and manufacturing leaps you might expect a leap in price but the N2A fuselage (frame, fork and carbon aero seatpost) will only set you back £699. The full pro-spec bike with SRAM Red, carbon components and Planet X's own R50 carbon wheels is £2,700.
Video: Frank Campbell and Brant Richards on the Nanolight N2A (courtesy: Planet X)
Exocet 2
The Exocet time trial bike morphs into the catchily-named Exocet 2. The fresh-out-of-the-mould frame has been developed alongside the N2A and it uses the same press-fit BB30, internal cable routing and high-modulus carbon layup. The bike's aerodynamic profile is the result of a hush-hush project with the University of Sheffield that involved many hours of fluid dynamics work. The resulting forms certainly look very slippery. Pricing is expected to be the same as the N2A.
Team Guru Special Edition
So far, the 2012 bikes are very 'nu-school' but next up is the Team Guru Special Edition, made for Planet-X by Sarto Cycles. This is much more old-school in silhouette, with smaller tube diameters and a classic frame shape. The model shown here is a pre-production version so some details may change but the tube-to-tube Italian artisan construction will remain.
Price for the stock frame and fork is expected to be around £2,000, with custom options starting at £300 more. With or without custom geometry, the Guru oozes high-end, handcrafted quality at a price that would normally only buy you a mass-produced frame.
With all this talk of high-end exotica you might be forgiven for thinking that Planet X have forgotten their more budget-conscious roots. Well, they haven't – also new for 2012 is the RT57 which costs just £1,299 with a stock build and SRAM Force. The all-new chassis includes an on-trend tapered-steerer fork but comes with standard external cable routing.
We saw all the new bikes at Planet X and On-One's fancy warehouse and showroom in Rotherham. It's well worth heading to, for bargains galore and a lovely selection in gigantic vintage and antique mirrors.

FRIDAY, Sept. 21, 2012 (HealthDay News) -- Movies rarely portray a cancer patient's chances of survival accurately and need to show audiences that a cancer diagnosis is far from always a death sentence, a new study suggests.
Researchers analyzed 82 movies that center on a person with cancer -- including "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "Gran Torino" and "Diary of a Country Priest" -- and found that the cancer experiences depicted in the films were quite different from the truth.
The investigators found that cancer patients died in 63 percent of the movies. The most frequent treatments mentioned in the movies were chemotherapy and pain relief. Cancer symptoms were mentioned in 72 percent of the movies and diagnostic tests were mentioned in 65 percent.
The findings were scheduled for presentation Thursday at the European Society for Medical Oncology meeting, in Vienna.
"Nowadays, cinema is confronting the most important issues for oncological disease, which were mostly absent in the earlier days of cinema," Dr. Luciano De Fiore at Sapienza University of Rome, said in a society news release. "Cancer is no easy matter to portray, and seeing it in a movie gives the audience a chance to give voice to their emotions. This is useful for the sharing of cancer care, from personal or familiar problems to issues of collective relevance."
However, the movies tend to offer a bleak outlook for cancer patients.
"Very often the ill person doesn't get over the disease and his death is somehow useful to the plot's outcome. This pattern is so strongly standardized that it persists in spite of real progress of treatments," De Fiore said.
Some common types of cancer -- such as breast cancer -- were barely represented in movies, the researchers found, while depictions of lymphomas, leukemia and brain tumors predominated.
De Fiore suggested there is an "educational gap" in movies' depiction of cancer.
"Patients' survival is very rarely due to treatments in the cinema. Fortunately in real life, this has become mostly untrue," he said.
Research presented at medical meetings should be considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

The college inflation rate refers to the annual increase in college tuition and fees, similar to the way that the general inflation rate refers to the annual increase in the cost of living. The college inflation rate is usually measured separately for public and private colleges. For the 2010/2011 academic year, tuition and fees at four-year public colleges for in-state students averaged 7.9 percent, tuition and fees at four-year public colleges for out-of-state students averaged 6.0 percent, and tuition and fees at four-year private colleges averaged 4.5 percent. (Source: The College Board's Trends in College Pricing Report 2010)
For parents trying to keep up with their child's college fund, it's important to choose investments for college savings that keep pace with college inflation. You can use the college inflation rate for a given year or the average rate of inflation over the past decade to help project college costs in the future. Be aware, however, that the more years your child has to go until college, the greater likelihood that your cost estimate will need to be revised at a later date.
