Methane hydrates are perhaps the largest and most important carbon sink on the planet. Some scientific estimates place the amount of carbon stored in methane hydrates as greater than all the carbon stored in oil, natural gas and coal combined.[1] They are critical in maintaining the stability of earth's atmosphere and temperature.
What is a carbon sink? According to www.fern.org, as an example, "A carbon sink is anything that absorbs more carbon that it releases, whilst a carbon source is anything that releases more carbon than is absorbed. Forests, soils, oceans and the atmosphere all store carbon and this carbon moves between them in a continuous cycle. This constant movement of carbon means that forests act as sources or sinks at different times."[5]
Two primary carbon sinks, however, were not involved in that continuous cycling of carbon. Fossil fuel reserves (oil, natural gas and coal) and methane hydrate reserves (methane hydrates should properly be included in the categorization of fossil fuels), like the carbon locked in rocks, locked up carbon in stable reserves and took it out of the cycle. Until man started exploiting and burning fossil fuels those reserves were sinks only. We have, unfortunately, turned fossil fuels into one of the largest carbon sources on the planet. Now we are threatening to do the same with methane.
As recently as 1971, in fact, methane was not even on the radar as an important greenhouse gas. According to the report, Methane: A Scientific Journey from Obscurity to Climate Super-Stardom, "The first survey in 1971 on the possibility of inadvertent human modification of climate stated that "Methane has no direct effects on the climate or the biosphere [and] it is considered to be of no importance". The gas did not even appear in the index of the major climatology book of the time (Lamb's Climate Past, Present and Future)."[3]
As a result the study of methane hydrates is still very much in its infancy. Most of the research to date, in fact, has focused on the potential of using the methane in those hydrates as an energy source in light of the approaching peak and decline in oil and other fossil fuels. There has been little attention and little funding available for studying methane as a greenhouse gas and as a potential contributor to global warming, even its potential as a catalyst in a runaway greenhouse effect.
Why is all of that important? How serious a greenhouse gas is methane? Methane, when first released into the atmosphere is 62 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. However, it has a much shorter lifespan in the atmosphere. It quickly diminishes in potency to about 20 times that of carbon dioxide and will completely oxidize after about twenty years. But that's not the end of it's importance as a greenhouse gas. Methane in the upper atmosphere oxidizes into carbon dioxide and water vapour (also an important greenhouse gas) and will remain in the upper atmosphere as carbon dioxide for another hundred years. So it has a very potent early life as a greenhouse gas but also a long term life cycle as both reduced potency methane gas and then carbon dioxide.
One of the troubling aspects of methane hydrates (much more on this later) is that the methane in the hydrate is in gaseous form and under pressure. Where compressed natural gas (CNG) is artificially compressed and stored in steel cylinders or other containment vessels at pressures of 200-248 atmospheres,[6] the methane gas in methane hydrates is naturally present at a pressure of 162 atmospheres in a cage of ice.[4] Anyone who has ever seen a gas cylinder explode knows how explosive gases under pressure can be with a sudden release of that pressure.
Keith Bennett, a reader of my blog from the UK, recently sent me an e-mail in which he reminded me, "every time we have messed with nature we have found that we harm the 'delicate balance'." This is what has bothered me with the increasing talk of exploiting methane hydrates as an energy source. We have already drastically impacted the other primary carbon sinks on this planet; cutting and burning the forests, dredging up and burning the fossil fuel reservoirs, destroying the carbon sequestration ability of our soils, saturating the oceans and diminishing their ability to absorb and sequester carbon dioxide, drastically changing the makeup of the atmosphere. We keep transferring the planet's carbon from stable sinks and reservoirs into the comparatively unstable atmosphere as carbon dioxide by burning massive volumes of fossil fuels. To date, methane hydrates were the last major carbon sink that we had not destroyed, a shortcoming we seem to be hell bent to rectify.
Ignorance may have been a legitimate excuse when we began the process of destroying the other important carbon sinks. We just did not realize the impact we were having. But we have now known for many decades and still continue to inflict damage on this planet's environment through our misuse and abuse of the carbon cycle. To now, with all that we have learned, head into the destruction of the last major carbon sink in the pursuit of more energy is to do so with no remaining excuse of ignorance to use. There is ignorance, but not such as to justify going forward. We simply do not know how important methane hydrates are as a carbon sink. We don't know what impact on the future livability of this planet we will have by exploiting methane hydrates and diminishing those reserves. We do know, as Keith Bennett suggested, that every time we have thus far "messed with" nature we have harmed the delicate balance that has evolved over millions and billions of years on this planet.
If we take the same approach with methane hydrates that we have taken with the exploitation of the other fossil fuels we most assuredly will further upset, if not destroy, that delicate balance. With fossil fuels, at every turn, we have leaned in favour of exploiting the energy resource rather than protecting the environment, both for ourselves and for future generations. Keep the wheels of industry rolling today at whatever cost to tomorrow.
Marine methane hydrate reserves are relatively stable but remain so within a fairly narrow range of temperature and pressure known as the Hydrate stability zone. In my article (also in the blog), The real problem with Methane Hydrates is Sliding under the Radar, I dealt with this issue at length. Here is an excerpt but I would seriously encourage you to read the whole article. "The physical nature of methane hydrates and the quite distinct physical properties of water - specifically H2O - and of methane (CH4) independently function both as a barrier to exploitation and as a serious environmental risk in conjunction with global warming. ..... H2O which is only water above 0C [at 1 atmosphere] and becomes vapour at higher temperatures - reaches its maximum density of 999.9720 kilograms per cubic meter at a temperature of 3.98C. At the freezing temperature of 0C its density has reduced to 998.8395 kilograms per cubic meter, 988.1170 at -10C. The critical part of that range, with regard to methane hydrates, is that from 0C to 3.98C. ..... The lower density of H2O as ice (998.8395) at 0C (even lower if the ice is super cooled) is what allows ice to float on the surface of water. Average global ocean temperatures today (this has varied over geological time, especially during different eras of ice age and global warming) is 2C. At 2C H2O has a density 999.9400, between that of ice at 0C of 998.8395 and the maximum density at 3.98C of 999.9720. It still supports, therefore, the lighter ice even in the Arctic. ..... Because of the lower density (greater buoyancy) of ice relative to sea water, submarine methane hydrates are always under pressure, physically wanting to rise to the surface. The [hydrate] deposits only become "relatively" stable when anchored by sufficient sediment on the ocean bottom. When and if that "anchorage" breaks down or is swept away, for example, by a sub-surface landslide, the hydrates can suddenly be released into the water and rise toward the surface. ..... The density of the gaseous methane in hydrates is 162 times greater than methane gas in the atmosphere. At the temperature and pressure of the sea water around and above the hydrate deposits, the methane gas contained in the hydrates should have much lower density (occupy much more space) than it does. This physical anomaly means that the pressure on the methane gas to expand is constantly at odds with and pushing against the ice cage enclosing it. This is a key component of the essential instability of methane hydrates. ..... Gas density generally decreases far more rapidly for gases than liquids or solids as temperature rises or pressure decreases. That means two factors can affect the stability of methane hydrates currently in the hydrate stability zone. Changes in sea level can affect the water pressure in the zone: a drop in sea level can decrease the pressure. Changes in temperature of the water can have the same effect. Increase of the temperature above the current average 2C can also dramatically affect that stability."
In view of the threat of global warming, the potential impact from rising sea temperatures warrants particular attention. As the temperature of the hydrate deposit rises two opposing things begin to happen. The ice cage around the methane shrinks, further increasing the pressure on the methane gas inside, similar to squeezing a cylinder containing a gas. This increases the tendency of the gas to seek escape from the containment. At the same time the ice cage containing the methane is softening and weakening, making it more susceptible to rupture. This increases the probability that the submarine methane hydrate deposits will destabilize and that they will do so explosively.
There is now considerable accepted scientific evidence that this has happened several times in the geological past,[10] most notably 55 million years ago, as per NASA.[11] Of more immediate concern, however, is the growing evidence that there is a measurable and significant increase in methane venting from hydrate deposits on the Arctic sea floor.[7][8] The temperatures in the Arctic have been increasing much more rapidly over the past century than elsewhere on earth. In fact, atmospheric methane concentrations have more than doubled over the past 200 years "due to decomposing organic materials in wetlands and swamps and human aided emissions from gas pipelines, coal mining, increases in irrigation and livestock flatulence."[11] The Arctic is a kind of canary in the coal mine when it comes to showing the early signs of global warming. The concern over Arctic sub sea methane venting is doubled when considering the potential positive feedback on releasing the massive amount of methane hydrates trapped in Arctic permafrost, both in northern North America and Europe/Asia. Large areas of Arctic permafrost coastline are, quite literally, oozing into the ocean and releasing their sequestered methane.

Joining CentOS 6 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 to an Active Directory Domain is relatively simple. While Active Directory is proprietary software developed by Microsoft, it's fairly ubiquitous in medium and large environments, thus integrating Linux and Windows services is very common in this day and age. DNS has to be working properly. You should be able to resolve mydomain.com using DNS.
First, we need to install winbind. This is the Samba service that integrates users, passwords, and other important functions with Active Directory.
yum install samba-winbind
That command should install any and all dependencies necessary. Another step is to install software necessary for initializing Kerberos tickets. While not strictly necessary to join the Domain initially (I believe), it makes troubleshooting a little easier.
yum install krb5-workstation
After those two packages are installed, you can run authconfig-tui to automatically setup pam and other important config files. See the screen shots below for example settings.
The above selections are appropriate. Use fingerprint reader is not needed unless your workstation has a fingerprint reader.
This stage is very important. Security model should be set to ADS. Domain should be the name of the domain without the top level domain. If your domain looks like my.domain.com, then you should put "MY" in this field. Domain controllers are the FQDN for each domain controller you wish your system to use. Unlike Windows, these are not automatically discovered by CentOS or RHEL 6. Separate each domain controller by a space. ADS REALM should be the full name of your Domain in ALL CAPS. Template shell can be whichever you choose. If you want to enable domain users the ability to log in by default, select one of the shells. If you want to disable ssh/local login by default, select /sbin/nologin.
Next, select Join Domain and enter your Domain Admin username and password in the boxes provided. You should enter just the username, do not enter any domain information here.

First of all I want to say I LOVE the black packaging, it's so sleek and sophisticated and makes me feel special when I open something! Now lets see what I have..
"Rude" Cream blush: I love this peachy colour, it's the perfect consistency and colour for my skin tone, I have been lusting over this for AGES and know that this is going to become a summer favourite!
"Lies" Cream blush: A gorgeous frosty pink colour. I see myself using this as a highlighter on my cheekbone or even mixed in with "Rude" how AMAZING? These cream blushes can also be worn on the lips! They have a really soft, creamy and blendable texture that give a stunning dewy finish.
"Lover" Powder blush: A beautiful highly pigmented peachy coral colour, again perfect for the summer and on any skin tone.
Ahhhh the bronzing and highlighting duo, now this is gorgeous. I have it in Glint and Burnish, the darker of the two that are available. This compact has a mirror inside making it perfect for travelling, this is definately going to be the bronzer I take with me if I'm going on holiday - LOVE! It's quite pigmented with no sparkles, just a lovely matt sheen.
On to the eyeshadows! I have "Deamon" a powder shadow which is the vibrant red, "Vapour" another powder shadow which is the orange and "Outcast" the yellow which is a cream shadow. The powder eyeshadows are VERY pigmented (these two are anyway), I can't wait to work with them! The cream eyeshadow is also very pigmented but is also quite sheer making it easy to blend and vary the finish you want to achieve. Love LOVE Love!
Eyeshadow Swatches
Pigment: "Furore" An amazing sparkley nude finish, this would also make a great highlighter and obviously a great all over lid colour! TIP: You could mix this in with your nail polish top coat, how hot would that look?
Oh my god! These eyelashes are the best I have ever seen.. look at the shape? I can't wait to wear these! :)
Yes, another eyeliner brush, one can never have too many! It will be interesting to see how this compares.
Lipgloss: "Soul" from the Sirens collection. Now this is supposed to be sheer but it's not really :) it's VERY pigmented, it's a lovely nude peach colour, perfect for me!
Sealing Gel: You can mix this with eyeshadow or pigment to create a colour intense paste that dries quickly and lasts for hours! I can't wait to try this - don't worry I will keep you all informed :)
Satin Primer SPF20: This has a gorgeous texture, slightly comparable to Mac's strobe cream, it gives a lovely dewy finish that can be used alone or mixed with product!
Finally a little photo of me, here's what I am wearing: Face - Illamasqua satin primer, BB skin foundation, Just a tiny dab of Rude cream blush, Illamasqua bronzing duo. Eyes - Burnish from Illamasqua bronzing duo on crease. Max Factor false lash effect mascara. Lips - same random combo as yesterday (mac hue, max factor english rose and a rosey lipliner)

Literally everything looks amazing! Love that "rude" cream blush! And the lashes! and the bronzer! :) You look lovely too!
- 5 June 2009 at 23:09
- Tali said...
By the way.. I tried Cetaphyl finally when I was in the states.
The Sensitive face wash is great as is the moisturizer but the first facewash I tried was for normal-oily skin (bought it by mistake) and it did make my cheek itch a bit. No breakouts though!
So if you ever want to try, i know you have sensitive skin like me so try the sensitive formula!!

Ackman Walks Away From General Growth Fight With Big Returns
By David Benoit and Kris Hudson
Bill Ackman's Pershing Square didn't get mall owner General Growth to sell itself like he hoped, but the activist firm is still looking at massive gains on its investment.
Pershing Square is selling the warrants it held on General Growth to the company's largest shareholder, Brookfield Asset Management, for $271.9 million. Pershing will continue to have an 8% stake in General Growth shares and agreed to be a passive shareholder, which means it will stop pushing the company to sell itself.
Pershing Square's entire investment is now worth about $2.3 billion, up from the $60 million it invested, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

Lava Reaches Coastal Plain on Hawaii Island
Stay at Hale Moana Bed & Breakfast and see the lava several different ways:
(Lava pictures - courtesy Kalapana Cultural Tours)
The Kalapana Lava Viewing Area is only 10 minutes from our Bed & Breakfast at the end of Hwy. 130. From here you can see lava flowing down the mountain towards the ocean from a distance. This area is easily accessible.
Lava Hiking Tours: Guided tours out to the lava are available almost daily through Kalapana Cultural Tours from Kalapana (10 minutes from us). The hike will take you directly to the lava flow. Guest feedback for these walks is excellent. You have to be in physically good condition to do the hike. Flashlights and water will be provided.
Lava Boat Tours by Lava Ocean Adventures leave from the Pohoiki boat ramp, which is a 10 minute drive from our B&B. When the lava flows into the ocean it is an unbelievable experience to see how the elements meet. Captain Shane and his crew are an experienced team and offer visitors an unforgettable trip.
Helicopter Tours from the Hilo Airport offer an aerial view of the Pu'u O'o crater, eruption areas, lava flows and ocean entry, when lava flows into the water. Flights are only available during the day, no night flights for safety reasons. Helicopter Tour operators include: Blue Hawaiian, Paradise & Safari Helicopters.

KALAPANA, Hawaii: Lava has once again reached the base of the Pulama Pali near Kalapana.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory says advancing surface flows have reached the base of the pali over the past few days, burning through one of the few remaining forested kipuka in the abandoned Royal Gardens subdivision.
The latest update from the HVO website's Kilauea eruption update (Oct. 5):
He also captured these images the immense lava flow. You can follow Lozoff's volcano updates on his YouTube channel, "lavaloverbo" where he uploads video like this following his hiking adventures.
According to the USGS, this map above shows the currently active Peace Day flow (episode 61) "as the two shades of red—light red is the extent of the flow from September 21, 2011, to September 25, 2012, and bright red marks the mapped flow expansion from September 25 to October 4. There have been flow margin changes upslope, in the upper part of Royal Gardens, that are not yet mapped and not shown on this map. The active lava tube is delineated by the yellow line within the active flow field. An incipient tube extends downslope to feed the currently active flows, but it has not been mapped. The contour interval on Puʻu ʻŌʻō is 5 m."

Agent Pat Dye told SiriusXM NFL on Thursday that Kenny Britt is drawing interest from the Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers. Now he's scheduled to visit one of those teams.
A source informed of Britt's plans has told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport that the free-agent wide receiver will meet with the Bills shortly, perhaps on Friday.
For being one of the NFL's least effective wide receivers in 2013, Britt certainly has an inordinate number of suitors. He's already visited the Patriots, Rams and Redskins.
Attempting to rebuild his value in the same fashion as Hakeem Nicks and Jeremy Maclin, Britt likely will sign a short-term contract in his next locale, according to Dye.
If Britt does sign with Buffalo, he likely would push for the third receiver role behind Stevie Johnson and Robert Woods.
More of Friday's visits:
1. Recently released Atlanta Falcons safety Thomas DeCoud is meeting with the Detroit Lions, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Seeking a replacement for Louis Delmas, the Lions are also hosting former Dolphins safety Chris Clemons, per CBS Sports. They had previously met with James Ihedigbo.
2. Free-agent running back Knowshon Moreno is expected to visit the Miami Dolphins, per The Miami Herald's Armando Salguero.
3. Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is slated to meet with the New York Jets, Rapoport reported earlier this week.
4. Free-agent running back LeGarrette Blount is scheduled to visit the Steelers on Sunday night, the National Football Post reported. Maurice Jones-Drew left his Pittsburgh visit without signing a contract.
The latest "Around The League Podcast" breaks down DeSean Jackson trade rumors and tries to figure out who will be next year's Michael Bennett (or Brent Grimes).

Everyone knows that leading raids is hard work. You have to work harder than the rest of the group, and the only reward you get is feeling more involved and raids happen on your schedule.
And yet.
And yet for a lot of players, raid leading is the true metagame of their MMO. For people who enjoy the extra difficulty, the extra complexity, the feeling of reward for truly understanding how everything fits together, and maybe even the *naches of guiding a newbie raider into a pro, there is no better way.
A lot of raid leaders in WoW ended up there because they were progression minded and felt that the best way to ensure good progression was to arrange it themselves.
But there are plenty of players who choose to lead raids because they love it. DPS Meter writes a heartfelt letter to 25 man raid leaders, and its something that every raider needs to read. Especially if you're burned out on raiding, or maybe forgot why you liked it in the first place.
One of the definining moments in my WoW raiding came in Vanilla. We were a very new 40 man raid. We'd zoned into Molten Core for the first time and somehow managed to kill Lucifron (the first boss.) And our raid leader said, "Guys, right now you are at a Hogger level of raiding. By the time we get to Ragnaros, you WILL be a proper raid guild." A month or so later, at our first Onyxia kill, I knew he was right. That's what raid leading is all about.
*I'm due a proper post about this as one of the big motivating factors in gaming.

MIDDLEBURY –– From Bristol to Burlington, Greensboro to Granville, Eric Wegar has seen it all.
Wegar, 62, recently finished compiling a set of collages documenting his trips to all 251 towns, cities, gores and grants in the state of Vermont.
A Pittsford resident and retired postal worker, Wegar found inspiration from an older project. He tried to make a large photographic map of the state, but could not find a scale that would fit. During a May 9, 2009, drive to Warren, Wegar noticed a welcome sign for the town of Granville that sparked a new idea.

If you have been charged with a criminal offense in US the first thing you need to do is to contact a criminal defense attorney. The criminal law in US is quite complicated and it requires professional expertise to deal with a legal battle. Chicago is no different in this respect. Getting arrested can be a stressful and traumatic experience. It can affect your life in many ways. So you need some one who has both experience and expertise to ensure minimizing the harsh consequences following your arrest.
While going through such a disturbed mental state an accused person can not handle the intricate legal issues. Naturally he or she needs a lawyer who can aggressively fight on behalf of that person. From drug charges to DUI offenses, an experienced lawyer can handle all types if cases.
Criminal Charges
Chicago criminal law emphasizes on both federal laws and state laws. If someone violates any of the following laws criminal charges can be brought against that person.
- Robbery and burglary
- Crimes of violence
- Property crimes
- Drug-related crimes
- Domestic crimes
- Motor vehicle offenses
- White collar crimes
- Sex crimes
Criminal Defense
Criminal law process in Chicago has a set format. Since the Chicago criminal defense lawyers are well aware of the process it is easier for them to take every step cautiously so that the negative consequences can be minimized. Therefore you should not do a single thing without consulting your lawyer.
Whenever you suspect that you may get involved in any kind of investigation related to some crime the immediate step to be taken is to hire a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. If you have been accused or arrested and further investigation is going to take place a criminal defense can help you to gather information that can be of much significance in your case.
Charges & Bail
As soon as a person is arrested the prosecutor decides what to charge the accused person. In such a situation a Chicago Criminal Defense Attorney can protect your rights. The constitutional rights include:
- right to remain silent
- right to have a lawyer
- right to have a trial
- right to be presumed innocent
While the trial goes on your attorney can apply for your bail. Your lawyer will post money or bond as bail which will ensure your further appearance in the court. Before posting bail money or bond it is crucial to consult an attorney to see what the legal options for the accused person are.
Hearing, Trial & Sentencing
An accused person initially faces hearings. During the hearings the criminal defense attorney can try to reduce the charges brought against the accused. If the case proceeds to trial it is crucial to have an attorney on your side to ensure that the charges are being reduced. If you are convicted of a crime the attorney can at least go for a plea bargain and get the most favorable sentence for you.


text: Prentice, You only asked for memory testing programs, but I'm going to go a bit further, to make sure some background issues are covered, and to give you some ideas you might not yet have. Some of this is based on a lot of experience with Dell servers in HPC. Some of my background thoughts on dealing with SBEs: 1) Complete and details historical records are important for correctly and efficiently resolving these type of errors, especially on larger clusters. Otherwise it's too easy to get confused about what happened when, and come to incorrect conclusions about problems and solutions. Treat it like a lab experiement -- keep a log book or equivalent, test your hypotheses against the data, and think broadly about what alternative hypotheses may exist. 2) The resolution process will be iterative, with physical manipulations (e.g. moving DIMMs among slots) alternating with monitoring for SBEs and optionally running stress applications to attempt to trigger SBEs (a "reproducer" of the SBEs). 3) For efficient resolution, you want a quick, reliable reproducer, something that will trigger the SBEs quickly. 4) I've seen no evidence that SBEs materially affect performance or correctness on a server, so my practice has often been to leave affected servers in production as much as possible, taking them out of production (after draining jobs) only briefly to move DIMMs, replace DIMMs, etc. Regarding (4), if anyone here has measurements or a URL to a study saying in what circumstances there's a significant material risk to performance or correctness of calculation with SBE correction, I'd love to see that. I'm not saying that SBE correction is completely free performance wise -- I bet it takes a little time to do the correction, but I bet for normal SBE correction rates, that time is (nearly) unmeasurable. Also, over a few thousand server-years, I've never or almost never seen SBE corrections morph into uncorrectable multi-bit errors. When uncorrectable errors have shown up (which itself has been rare in my experience, mostly in a single situation where there was a server bug that got corrected), they've shown up early on a server, not after a long period of only seeing SBEs. Prentice, I believe you started this thread because you need something for (3), is that right? As David Mathog said, you already know what activity most reliably triggers SBE corrections: Your users' code. If I were in your shoes, and I had time and/or were concerned around issue (4) above, I'd a) identify which user, code, and specific runs trigger SBEs the most, then b) if possible, work with that user to get a single-node version of a similar run that you could outside production node use, to reproduce and resolve SBEs. I'd then monitor for SBEs in production, and when they occur, drain jobs from those nodes, and take them out of production so I could user that single-node user job to satisfy (2) and (3) above. If I was in your shoes and was NOTconcerned about (4), I'd simply drain the running job, do a manipulation (2 above), and put the node back into production, waiting for the SBE to recur if it is going to. This is what I've often done. Or if you have a dev/test cluster, replace the entire production node with a tested, known-good node from the dev/test cluster, then test/fix the SBE server in the context of the dev/test cluster. I've also often done this. My experience has been that long runs of single-node HPL was the best SBE trigger I ever found. Dell's mpmemory did not do as well. I believe memtest86{,+} also didn't find problems that HPL found, though I didn't test memtest86{,+} as much. It also was not immediately obvious how to gather the memory test results from mpmemory and memtest86{,+}, though it can probably be done, perhaps easily, with a bit of R&D. But since you've found that HPL does not trigger SBEs as much as your user's code, I think you have a very good pointer that you should do stress tests with your user's code if at all possible. If you can share what the stressful app is, and any of the relevant run parameters, that would probably be interesting to folks on this list. In my experience, usually SBEs are resolved by reseating or replacing the affected DIMM. However it can also be an issue on the motherboard (sockets or traces or something else), or possibly the CPU (because Intel and AMD now both have the memory controllers on-die), or possibly a BIOS issue (if a CPU or memory related parameter isn't set quite optimally by the BIOS you're running; BIOSes may set hardware parameters without your awareness nor ability to tune it yourself). Best practice may be: A) swap the DIMM where the SBE occurred with a neighbor that underwent similar stress but did not show any SBEs. Keep a permanent record of which DIMMs you swapped and when, as well as all error messages and their timing. B) re-stress either in production (if you believe my tentative assertion (in 4 above) that SBE corrections do not materially affect performance nor correctness), or using your reliable reproducer for an amount of time that you know should usually re-trigger the SBE if it is going to recur. C) assess the results and respond accordingly: 1) if the SBE messages do not recur, then either reseating resolved it, or it's so marginal that you will need to wait longer for it to show up; may as well leave it in production in this case 2) if the SBE messages follow the DIMM when you swapped it with its neighbor, then it's very very likely the DIMM (especially if the SBE occurred quickly upon stressing it, both before and after the DIMM move). Present this evidence to Dell Support and ask them to send you a replacement DIMM. KEEP IN MIND that although the replacement DIMM will usually resolve the issue, it has never before been stressed in your setup, and it's possible for your stress patterns to elicit SBEs even in this replacement DIMM. So if the error recurs in that DIMM slot, it's possible that the replacement DIMM also needs to be replaced. You again need to do a neighbor swap to check whether it really is the replacement DIMM. 3) If the SBE stays with the slot after you did the neighbor swap, take this evidence to Dell Support, and see what they say. I would guess they'd have the motherboard and/or CPU swapped. Alternatively, you may wish (use your best judgment) to gather more data by CAREFULLY! swapping CPUs 1 and 2 in that server and see whether the SBEs follow the CPU or stay with the slot. Just as with DIMMs, it's not unheard of for replacement motherboards and CPUs to also have issues, so don't assume they're perfect -- usually the suitable replacement will resolve the issue fully, but you won't know for sure until you've stressed the system. What model of PowerEdge are these servers? PowerEdge systems keep a history of the messages that get printed on the LCD in the System Event Log (SEL), in older days also called the ESM log (embedded systems management, I believe). The SEL is maintained by the BMC or iDRAC. I believe the message you report below (SBE logging disable) will be in the SEL. I know the SEL logs messages that indicate that the SBE correction rate has exceeded two successive thresholds (warning and critical). You can read and clear the SEL using a number of different methods. I'm sure DSET does it. You can also do it with ipmitool, omreport (part of the OpenManage Server Administration (OMSA) tools for the Linux command line), and during POST by hitting Ctrl-E (I think) to get into the BMC or iDRAC POST utility. I'm sure there are other ways; these are the ones I've found useful. Normal, non-Dell-specific ipmitool will print the SEL records using 'ipmitool sel list', but it does not have the lookup tables and algorithms needed to tell you the name of the affected DIMM on Dell servers. You can also do 'ipmitool sel list -v', which will dump raw field values for each SEL record, and you can decode those raw values to figure out the affected DIMM -- with enough examples (and comparing e.g. to theDIMM names in the Ctrl-E POST SEL view), you might be able to figure out the decoding algorithm on your own, or google might give you someone who has already figured out the decoding for your specific PowerEdge model. That is the downside of using standard ipmitool. The upside of ipmitool, though, is that it's quite lightweight, and can be used both on localhost and across the network (using IPMI over LAN, if you have it configured appropriately). The good news is that there's a Dell-specific version of ipmitool available, which adds some Dell-specific capabilities, including to decode DIMM names. This works at least for current PowerEdge R and M servers, as well as older PowerEdge models like the 1950, and probably a few generations older than that. I think it simply supports all models that the corresponding version of OpenManage supports; this does not include older SC servers or current C servers. If you have a model that OpenManage does not support, it may be worth trying, in case it does the right thing for you. You can get the 'delloem' version of ipmitool from the OpenManage Management Station package. The current latest URL is ftp://ftp.dell.com/sysman/OM-MgmtStat-Dell-Web-LX-6.4.0-1401_A01.tar.gz Then unpack it and look in ./linux/bmc/ipmitool/ for your OS or a compatible one. For example, looking in the RHEL5_x86_64 subdirectory, the rpm OpenIPMI-tools-2.0.16-99.dell.1.99.1.el5.x86_64.rpm has /usr/bin/ipmitool with 'delloem' appearing as a string internally. (I'm not able to test it right now.) Once you've installed the appropriate package, do 'ipmitool delloem'; this should tell you what the secondary options are. I believe 'ipmitool delloem sel' will decode the SEL including the correct DIMM names. If you install OpenManage appropriately, you can also get the SEL decoded, as well as get alerts automatically and immediately sent to syslog. The command line to print a decoded SEL is 'omreport system esmlog'. OpenManage is pretty heavy-weight, though. Some people do install it and leave it running on HPC compute nodes; some people would never do that on a production node. Your mention of getting log messages about the SBEs makes me think you do have OMSA installed and its daemons running -- is that correct? Try 'omreport system esmlog' if so. Finally, during POST Ctrl-E at the prompted moment will get you into the BMC or iDRAC POST menu system, in which you can view and optionally clear the SEL. I do not think this is easily scriptable, but if all else fails, that is one way to view the SEL, with proper decoding. I know that's long, and I hope that helps you and possibly others.

With Facebook 'Look Back' videos inundating our news feeds on Monday, you couldn't escape the social media giant's 10th-birthday celebration.
It got the video and interactive team at the Sentinel wondering what these videos might look like for celebrities and, well, one thing led to another and here is our wish for what Tim Tebow's 'Look Back' might look like.
In a week in which he saw the team that spurned him get shellacked in the Super Bowl, Tebow stole the Big Game spotlight with the best ads of the air. And while he'd never gloat, wouldn't it be fun if he did?

Italian actress Mariangela Melato, known for her critically acclaimed performance as a spoiled socialite stranded with a sailor she had tormented in the 1974 film comedy Swept Away, has died in a Rome hospital at age 71.
The Antea hospital said she died Friday. The LaPresse news agency said she was suffering from pancreatic cancer.
The blond actress had most success in a series of films in the 1970s directed by Italian Lina Wertmuller, including The Seduction of Mimi and Love and Anarchy.
One of the most acclaimed was the role of a socialite who finds herself stranded with Giancarlo Giannini. Her role was played by Madonna in a 2002 remake.
Melato had less success in Hollywood roles, which included a supporting part in Flash Gordon in 1980.

Net Tools 5 offers a huge collection of network, file and Windows system tools, all entirely free.
Some of the utilities are quite substantial. So you get both an FTP server, and a client, for instance. There are system information tools here, a website ripper, web gallery and website creator, amongst many others.
There are variations on just about every network utility you can imagine: Ping, NetState and TraceRoute, for instance; port scanners, Whois and MX lookups, packet sniffers, HTTP scanners, bandwidth monitors, MAC address tools, and the list goes on.
And the suite includes a huge array of file-related tools. It can rename an entire folder of files to suit your rules; split files, compare them, and encrypt confidential documents in various ways, amongst other things.
Finding these functions can take a while, as they're only available through menus, and these aren't always organised as you'd expect. So, for example, the suite includes a Create Virtual Drives tool that creates a virtual drive on your system, which actually points to a folder instead (so double-clicking Z:, say, would take you to some commonly-used folder). We'd expect that to appear under System Tools, but it actually appears in the File Tools section.
And it seems there are bugs here, too. A few of the utilities failed to start, locked up or otherwise misbehaved during our tests. While others are past their best (there's a substantial tweaking tool, for instance, but it's targeted at Windows XP). And the author doesn't claim the programs run under Windows 7; many do, but you'll run into problems with others.
Still, as the suite is free, and includes hundreds of other functions that work perfectly, it seems unreasonable to complain too much. If you're the geeky type who loves to explore this kind of suite, then take a look - there's hours of entertainment here just in looking around, discovering everything that Net Tools can do.
A complete library of Windows tools in a single download. Some are less than reliable, a few don't work at all, but most are useful, and the suite is worth a look if you're the technical type

2 Busy 2 Blog
I have so many obligations lately that I must prioritize to adequately address them all. In the end you can't do everything. With 2 active children, a wife that travels and is frequently out of state, a full-time public policy and administrative job, and an active schedule myself, I must reorganize how I use my time. I plan on tackling some big projects over the next two years in addition to my very busy schedule. So, I must bid my blogging adieu for now. The sun has set on this very fun but time consuming activity. From time to time I may have a special update (I will alert via Twitter), but I will make those rare.
Thanks 2 all who have followed The Marion Contrarian.

The San Diego Chargers signed four of their six draft picks to contracts on Thursday.
The team agreed to terms with linebackers Manti Te'o and Tourek Williams, wide receiver Keenan Allen and quarterback Brad Sorensen a day before the Chargers' rookie mini camp.
San Diego drafted Te'o with the 38th overall selection after he helped Notre Dame reach the BCS national title game this past fall. A consensus All-America selection, Te'o led the Irish with 113 tackles and seven interceptions during his senior year and finished runner-up for the 2012 Heisman Trophy behind Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel.
"It's a dream come true," Te'o said. "Now it's time to play football. It's definitely a blessing, but now I'm ready to get to business."
Keenan, a 6-foot-3, 210-pound third-round selection (76th overall), finished his three-year Cal career as the school's all-time leader in receptions (205) and ranks third with 2,570 career receiving yards.

The Little Sahara Recreation Area encompasses one of the largest dune fields (124 square miles) in Utah and serves primarily as a playground for OHV (off highway vehicle) fans. Visit in the summer and you'll find the air buzzing with the sounds of hundreds of OHVs zipping around the dunes. Visit from late fall to early spring and you may find you have the place to yourself. For kids, it's like the biggest sandbox in the world.

- This page is about a linguistic term. If you are looking for a Nymph of Greek mythology, see Onomatopoeia (Mythology)
"Onomatopoeia? That's the noise my cat makes when he pisses on the rug."
Onomatopoeia is a word
Sorry, they say that is gained from living through the autumn years... Onomatopoeia is a word that
Christ, there goes my drink, all over my desk. Let me just clean this up
Right, what was I saying? Oh, right, the onomatopoeia. Ugly word, isn't it? Onomatopoeia is a word that resembles the sound that it is intended to
Whatta... Damn truck, how can I write this with such noise? One second, stay right there, let me just close my window.
Okay, no interruptions now.
I said "represent", okay? ONOMATOPOEIA IS A WORD THAT RESEMBLES THE SOUND THAT IT IS INTENDED TO REPRESENT!
Sorry I get a bit over excited at times, but anyway, I've made it! The introduction is over. Now let's talk about
POW? What the hell is going on?! Did New Year's Eve come early this year or something? There's too much excitement out on the streets. Whatever, they should be testing the fireworks.
Ambrosius! Shut up! Stupid dog, afraid of fireworks... All right, this reminds me of the next subject. One interesting thing about onomatopoeia is that these words are written in different ways for different languages. For instance, this dog of mine is not so stupid as you may think. Ambrosius, can you please bark in Korean?
See? Funny, isn't it? You may think it's disgusting to eat a dog that woofs but I guess a dog that meongs is pretty yummy, don't think so, Ambrosius?
Ha ha ha, I was just kidding, silly doggy.
Oh, great, now the keyboard is flooded with dog dribble. Let's get rid of this mess quick. Okay, where was I? Oh, of course, the comics!
What? Were you waiting for something along with this nuke explosion? Mental onomatopoeia, that's the word, unsophisticated dimwit. Too much abstract for you, ain't it? Alright, alright, I concede it. Here it goes:
Too late? Don't you know the sound comes after the light? You would hear the nuke exploding several seconds after the flash. Gosh, I have to explain everything... Okay, okay, let's try it with synchronized sound. For your pleasure, I've prepared a booze of onomatopoeia. First round:
So, you already knew that one? Congrats, pal, I supposed that thing above was completely obscure... Round two of two then. From the renowned linguist Julius Larossa, his PhD thesis on musical usage of onomatopoeia. There it is:
Thank you for reading and watching.....

On other thing that I forgot to mention is to beware systems calls. They will generally screw LOTS of things up within any timing problem. Remember, linux is basically not a RTOS (AFAIK) and the kernel can cut into the dance at any moment to handle network packets, timer interrupts (always) and more. These can produce random delays in any timer code that is being processed in userspace with real code. I would guess that this also applies to things like serial ports. Using them for high resolution timing at the kernel level I would think would be difficult and might require a specialized device driver. rgb -- Robert G.

A snow sculpture depicting Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu sacking and forcing a fumble by Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is on display at a playground in Boyce Park in Monroeville, Pa.
Highlights of the week ahead in sports, both here and afar:
NBA: Clippers vs. Milwaukee, Staples Center, 7:30 p.m., Prime:
As Luc Mbah a Moute will have it, these Bucks remain in flux. Start with Michael Redd, who blew out his left knee last January against the Lakers and still hasn't come close to making it all the way back yet. He's making $18.3 million this season — the league's fifth-highest-paid player. Former Clipper Corey Maggette (who scored 29 points with 11 rebounds in a six-point OT win over Toronto on Friday) has been helping to carry the load with Andrew Bogut since Brandon Jennings broke is foot on Dec. 18.
NBA: Lakers vs. Houston, Staples Center, 7:30 p.m., FSW:
The Lakers' 10-point loss against the 6-12 Rockets on Dec. 1 was one of those milestones in the season — it was their fourth defeat in a row. So they followed it up winning eight of their next nine, with seven of those games on an extended road trip.
NHL: Kings at Minnesota, 5 p.m., Prime:
Can AEG president Tim Leiweke believe what he's seeing with these Kings? The 2010 Executive of the Year according to the Los Angeles Sports Council who's been busier trying to get a downtown NFL stadium built near Staples Center has only come out recently to say that the Kings aren't for sale. Does that mean they'll free up some money to bolster the Kings' lineup as the post-All-Star game stretch to the playoffs gets headed up? A wildly unpopular 10-game road trip that could end up re-solidifying the team's focus on a playoff run starts against the Wild, who have split the two previous meetings with the Kings, each taking a 3-2 decision that ended tied after regulation. The Kings are 10-13 away from home so far, one of just two teams in the five-team Pacific Division (along with Anaheim) that are below .500 away from home. The Wild is barely at .500 at home.
College basketball: USC at UCLA, Pauley Pavilion, 8 p.m., FSW:
What plans do the Bruins have in ending a four-game losing streak against the Trojans? A premature celebration could be called for. "When the other team starts to celebrate with 40 seconds left, that's just kind of a slap in the face," UCLA center Joshua Smith said after watching that happen in the Trojans' 11-point win at the Galen Center on Jan. 9. "Don't get me wrong. They won fair and square. Nothing against them. But with 40 seconds left, you just let the clock run out, shake our hands and go celebrate in the locker room." Smith fouled out with just eight points and three rebounds in 22 minutes, trying to defend against the Trojans' Nik Vucevik (20 points) and Alex Stephenson (left, who had 13 points, 16 rebounds).
NBA: Clippers vs. Chicago, Staples Center, 7:30 p.m., Prime:
Newly-minted Eastern Conference All-Star starting guard Derrick Rose missed the second of two free throws with less than a second left that would have sent the Bulls into overtime against the Clippers on Dec. 18. Instead, it was a one-point loss, and Rose had 24 points (vs. 29 for Blake Griffin).
NHL: Kings at Edmonton, 6:30 p.m., Channel 13:
The Kings' 5-2 win over the Oilers a couple of weeks ago made it two in a row against Edmonton this season. The next two are in Oiler territory.
NHL: Ducks vs. San Jose, Honda Center, 7 p.m., KDOC:
Last meeting: a 1-0 Jonas Hiller shutout in early January.
NBA: Lakers vs. San Antonio, Staples Center, 7:30 p.m., TNT:
This challenge before the 11-day, seven-game pre-Grammy and All-Star break road trip might clarify any misconception about the Lakers' post-season intentions, in light of their 15-point loss to the Spurs back on Dec. 28, where Kobe Bryant was 8-of-27 shooting (and the team was 8-for-23 from 3-point range). DeJuan Blair (17 points, 15 rebounds) pushed the Spurs past a two-point halftime deficit into a five-point lead by scoring six points in the paint during a 4 1/2 minute span of the third quarter.
Golf: PGA's Waste Management Phoenix Open, first round, 1 p.m., Golf Channel:
Golf Channel cleans up on all four rounds, then recycles it for later viewing — especially the highlights from the traditionally noisy No. 16 par 3. At least the energy generated for this event will be clean — the tourney says all 125,000 kilowats of power will be "extracted, generated, and/or consumed without any significant negative impact to the environment" through wind power purchased by Green-E Certified Renewable Energy Credits or RECs from APS, Arizona's largest and longest-serving electricity utility.
NBA: Clippers at Atlanta, 4:30 p.m., Prime:
Here's the first of 11 in a row on the road for the Clippers. Joe Johnson (29), Jamal Crawford (24) and Josh Smith (22) combined for 75 of the Hawks' 107 points in a nine-point win at Staples Center on Jan. 2.
College basketball: UCLA vs. St. John's, Pauley Pavilion, 10 a.m., Channel 2:
The Bruins set this one up with the Johnnies before they hired Steve Lavin as their coach, and then agreed to make it a national telecast (hence, another ridiculous tip-off time). Wait a sec: Why doesn't UCLA play Notre Dame this season?
NBA: Lakers at New Orleans, 5 p.m., Channel 9:
The first of seven in a row on the road, back up against the team that leads the league in fewest points allowed per game. Put it this way: This season, the Hornets' 101.3 defensive rating means they give up 101.3 points for every 100 defensive possessions. A year ago, their rating was 110.1 — meaning they've given up 8.8 fewer points per 100 possessions. Only one team has made a bigger improvement in that category over the last 35 years: the 1997-98 San Antonio Spurs.
NHL: Kings at Calgary, 7 p.m., FSW:
The Flames have been one of the league's hotter teams, and captain Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla (his real name) is a good part of that reason. Still, he's mentioned all the time in trade rumors with Philadelphia, Montreal and the N.Y. Rangers.
NHL: Ducks at Colorado, noon, Prime:
Peter Forsberg, attempting a return to the NHL at age 37 nearly three years after last playing with the Avalanche in the 2008 playoffs, has been skating with the team after arriving in Denver late last week. This could be his coming-back matinee party.
NFL: Super Bowl XLV in Dallas: Green Bay vs. Pittsburgh, 3:15 p.m., Channel 11:
If the Super Bowl commercials seem to get a little more hairy this time around, blame it on the Steelers' Troy Polamalu and the Packers' Clay Matthews.
The former USC stars have done as much for their teams as they have for shampoo endorsements — Matthews signed a one-year endorsement deal with Suave hair products recently, having asked for such a deal after seeing Polamalu enjoy his relationship with the Head and Shoulders folks.
You do what you gotta do for your 'do. Right, A.J. Hawk?
All that's left is for the Steelers' Brett Keisel to get some love for his outstanding beard.
NBA: Clippers at Miami, 9 a.m., Prime Ticket:
LeBron James (ankle), Dwayne Wade (wrist) and Chris Bosh (ankle) have been in and out of the lineup lately for the Heat, who suffered the 111-105 loss to the Clippers back on Jan. 12. Yet, without Eric Gordon, the visiting team has a much tougher road of it this time. And, there's the early wake-up call.

|Haya , Julia and Sama
Facing with double bitter reality mixed with racism, their parents decided to emigrate illegally escaping from Egypt seeking safe place in Europe unfortunately.
Haya , Julia and Sama drowned on Friday in the Mediterranean near the shores of Alexandria among the 12 Syrian and Palestinian that were drowned in the illegal immigration boat incident.
I do not know what to say except that I am sorry, I am sorry that the Syrians and Palestinians have to suffer in Egypt. I am sorry that we are not helping them to live in dignity in our country. I am sorry that they had to die like this.
The agony of the refugees from Syria is doubled for the Palestinian refugees as unlike other refugees they do not have UNRWA in Egypt to help them. This is of course besides racism against Palestinians in Egypt nowadays.
These refugees are ready to die in the sea just to get hell out of Egypt , can you just imagine how it feels ? Already we got our own youth who are ready to do the same and they are doing it !!
If Europe does not want these refugees and the Egyptian regime does not want them too then I think the EU , Egypt , UN , UNRWA and UNHCR should work out a solution for those refugees whether Syrian or Palestinian to have a proper way of living in dignity instead of throwing themselves to hell like that.
Now I want to say something about that disgusting racism and ultra-nationalism in Egypt towards Syrians and Palestinians.
With my all due respect Modern Egypt was not built by Egyptians only but it was also built by foreigners including amazing and wonderful Syrians, Palestinians and Lebanese that did not only a safe haven in Egypt but a place where they could not live only but they also contributed to a great nation we brag about till this moment.
Go back and see who were the founders of the Egyptian major newspapers and printing houses , you would find them from Levant. Go back in history and see who were the artists and actors back then and you would find them from Levant. I do not need to say names because they are so many.
All what I can say now is that the Egyptian people were more welcoming and more tolerant then despite they were poor and were not educated like now. That stupid Ultra-Nationalism is killing Egypt's true soul.

What's the conventional wisdom thereof? I believe it. I remember debugging a ganglia communication problem once, and saw LOTS of traffic with tcpdump. I would imagine that gmond produces a decent amount of load on the node everytime it polls the system. I could be wrong on that last part, since I don't understand how it works internally. If ganglia produces a lot of traffic and some overhead, is it really that bad to leave postfix/sendmail running so I can receive e-mail system e-mails? -- Prentice
