Jazz Shorts
No, we're not talking underwear – rather an inspiring collection of short jazz films produced by Randy Cole, an independent filmmaker in Montreal.
Originally from Vancouver, Cole produces ultra-short documentaries featuring players like Montreal trumpeter Kevin Dean (you may recall he was here in Victoria in May with PJ Perry), saxophonist Al McLean, and guitarist Mike Rud (who will be very familiar to Vancouver and Victoria audiences of the past).
Cole's latest film captures the musical and emotional bond between Kevin Dean and his late father Richard through Dean's telling of the story of Pops, a jazz ballad he composed for his dad shortly before he died.
Against the backdrop of a lovely rendering of the song in the serene setting of a Montreal church, Dean talks about growing up in a musical family and being inspired by his farmer father who, as a musician (sax and bass), could really "play pretty."
Although brief, the film takes us right to the heart of their relationship and reveals the deep emotion that often inspires musical creation.
While you are at it, you might want to check out Cole's other films. The ones I've seen are superb. In fact, watching this material has got me thinking – maybe there's a filmmaker on Vancouver Island who might want to capture some of our own jazz stories?

She saved up her earnings from starring as a tween on Nickelodeon's "You Can't Do That On Television" to cut her first single in 1987,which led to her first record contract at 14, a platinum dance-pop debut CD and a Juno Award for Most Promising Female Artist. The dreaded sophomore CD slump inspired her to move to Los Angeles in search of inspiration. She found producer Glen Ballard, an edgier rock sound and superstardom with 1995's Jagged Little Pill and "You Oughta Know." She won several 1996 Grammys including Album Of The Year. She followed up a grueling tour and temporary withdrawal to recuperate with the introspective Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie (1998), the self-produced Under Rug Swept with its hit "Hands Clean" (2001), So-Called Chorus (2004) and Flavors of Engagement (2008). She has admitted that Flavors was her way to survive an emotionally trying breakup with actor Ryan Reynolds, whom she had been dating since 2002. She has sporadically returned to her child acting roots with a role in "Dogma" (1999), a guest stint on "Weeds" (2009-10) and a cameo on "Up All Night" (2012). Ironically, she didn't have rain on her wedding day in May 2010 when she married musician Mario "MC Souleye" Treadway. The musical duo welcomed son, Ever Imre, in December of the same year.

Ryan Reynolds and David Cross are secretly planning their own movie inspired by their wives' "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" film.
Blake Lively and Amber Tamblyn tell Entertainment Weekly magazine their men have become incredibly close through their friendship and would love to star in their own buddy movie.
Tamblyn says, "Our dudes are friends."
Lively adds, "They really love each other and they have their own little man texts. They're dying to do their own Husbands of the Sisterhood movie. We'll see."
But Reynolds and Cross' wives might beat them to it with a third film.
The actress' pal and co-star America Ferrera explains, "The fifth book (in author Ann Brashares' book series) picks up 10 years after the fourth book, so the characters are all basically the ages that we are now.
"I know that the four of us would love it (to make another film), and it would be wonderful."
Ferrera, Tamblyn, Lively and Alexis Bedel have all become close friends since teaming up for the first film back in 2005 and reprising their characters for a 2008 "Sisterhood" sequel.

Finally got the call...now here is the issue
Hi Everyone,
Appreciate this site - very informative and will bookmark it. My husband got the call everyone is waiting for a job offer!! Over the moon for him, worked his behind off to get it.
Anyway, he applied to multiple agencies like everyone. A few of them he washed out with. Past all exams, poly's, psych, etc. Top of everyone's lists. Fine, but when can he be relaxed that this job offer isn't going to be taken away from him if he washed out with other agencies? Guess I am paranoid. There is no skeletons out there other than he didn't make it with a few other departments. Probably my nerves in never trusting anything that seems too good to be true. I am a 20 year Fed myself (that might be part of my problem).
He starts next week with his new agency and in a few weeks in academy.
I am sure there will be more questions, such as recommendations on how to secure a firearm in house.
Thanks for all service!
10-21-2014, 16:11 #2
If he starts next week, you can probably relax that not being successful in other applications is going to carry over somehow. Generally, that is all behind him.ret.
10-21-2014, 16:28 #3
Congrats to him on his getting the offer. Now the application process is BEHIND him. These days of multiple applications to various agencies, there are always applications that didn't click. Go out and celebrate the one that did! Best of luck!Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!

Ditto to all the above. If he has an Academy date, then I would consider the application process over. Can't say how difficult the academy will be for the both of you. Some struggle and others sail right through.
Being married to a cop, or a soldier, or anyone in the public safety field can be stressful and difficult at times. Your husband is starting a new job, but you are too. You didn't fill out any applications, or take any of the tests, but when your husband signed up, you joined the agency as well.
Welcome to the forum and don't be a stranger. We look forward to learning how it all works out."There is no second place winner"-- Bill Jordan

Suarez solution
Olivier Giroud's promising pre-season form raises the prospect of Luis Suarez succeeding as either a replacement or in tandem with the Arsenal forward if the Liverpool man joins the Gunners, writes Adam Bate.
By Adam Bate - Follow @GhostGoal
Last Updated: 30/07/13 2:58pm
The news that Gonzalo Higuain has completed his move to Napoli might have come as a disappointment to some Arsenal supporters, but Olivier Giroud is likely to see things differently. The France international striker would have been the big loser if a deal for the 6ft tall Argentine forward had been completed - and that would have been a pity given his impressive pre-season.
There have been promising signs for Giroud on Arsenal's tour of Asia with the former Montpellier man netting six goals in just three games. The form of the under-pressure striker has not gone unnoticed by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger. "I like Olivier very much," said Wenger. "He needed to adapt and I'm sure he will respond."
Perhaps it is Wenger who has responded. While Higuain would have surely taken up a centre-forward role at the Emirates Stadium, the decision to bid for Liverpool's wantaway hero Luis Suarez could be interpreted as a desire to fill a slightly different role in the team. In short, the arrival of Suarez need not mean the end for Giroud.
Encouragingly, that is how the man himself appears to see things. "Luis is someone with whom I could form a good understanding on the pitch," said Giroud, quoted in The Sun. "So I am in favour of him coming to Arsenal and I am not afraid of the competition for places his arrival would bring about."
There is good reason to take that view. The 2-2 draw between Arsenal and Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium in January - in which both men scored - highlights the differing roles the two forwards are capable of playing. While Giroud operates as a point of reference for his side, Suarez is the opposite - an elusive figure prepared to go searching for the ball.
Suarez showed enough in his interaction with Daniel Sturridge, who arrived at Anfield in January, to suggest he is able to form a promising partnership with a more advanced forward. As such, it is easy to imagine the Uruguayan turning provider for Giroud. But importantly for Wenger, it is also clear that Suarez is equally capable of thriving as the lone frontman too.
Despite Giroud being a qualified success at Arsenal, there remains the nagging suspicion that the Gunners require a real goalscorer - the 20+ man who can truly replace Robin van Persie. There were plenty who weighed in during the 2012/13 campaign - Theo Walcott netting 14 Premier League goals, while Santi Cazorla scored 12 and both Lukas Podolski and Giroud reached double figures. And yet, too many chances were spurned.
When it comes to the big ones, Giroud was a disappointment. Only Van Persie was presented with more clear opportunities to score than the Frenchman last season. The difference is that the Manchester United striker also netted 17 of his clear-cut openings. Giroud successfully converted just four.
Indeed, of those players who enjoyed the most big chances to score in the Premier League last term, Giroud had by the far worst conversion rate - finishing just 17 per cent of those opportunities. The identity of the man who was the most reliable at converting from those situations is intriguing - it was that man Suarez.
|Chance conversion - PL 2012/13
|Big chances missed
|Big chances scored
|Conversion success
|Robin van Persie
|Man Utd
|Olivier Giroud
|Sergio Aguero
|Man City
|Papiss Cisse
|Nikica Jelavic
|Edin Dzeko
|Man City
|Romelu Lukaku
|Arouna Kone
|Luis Suarez
This contrast is significant. Effectively, Arsenal have the potential to swap the most wasteful of forwards for the man who is most lethal. And given the service available from Wenger's team, it is tempting to conclude Suarez would thrive. The Liverpool striker has become renowned for his ability to create things for himself, but at Arsenal there would be more support.
Podolski, Cazorla and Walcott all offer creativity in their own way. In fact, the three men created 10+ big chances for team-mates in 2012/13 - with Arsenal being the only team in the Premier League to have three players achieve that feat. Suarez could allow others to go foraging while he focussed on matters inside the area.
He has the credentials in that regard. Despite his roaming role - or perhaps because of that energy - Suarez touched the ball 363 times in the opposition penalty box last season. That's 140 times more than the next man, Van Persie. A dozen years on from the ill-fated purchase of Francis Jeffers, dare we utter the words fox-in-the-box?
What's apparent is that although Luis Suarez is not the out-and-out striker Arsenal supporters might have envisaged as the means by which to improve their attacking options, he could be the answer nonetheless. The fact that this particular solution can come with or without current first-choice frontman Olivier Giroud is key - Arsene Wenger would be getting two players rolled into one... Well worth chucking in an extra pound or two.

When The World Ends, Blame The Ninja Deer
You know how sometimes we like to zoom in to see all the wrecky details?
Well, it turns out sometimes we should zoom OUT.
Take this wedding cake, for example:
While I think you'll agree that finger-smeared "camouflage" is a true wonder to behold, there's no way for you to fully appreciate the entire artistic "tableau" - the one hinted at by that snippet of caution tape in the background - until you zoom out a ways:
I'll forgive the balloons, the little boot vases, and even the toy tractors - but two plywood boards balanced on a used tractor tire? That's time to take a stand, people. And burn it.
And, ok, since you insist:
Whoah, whoah, whoah. Where did those tiny deer come from?!
No, seriously, did you see any tiny plastic deer in those first two photos? 'Cuz I didn't.
I just thought of something:
What if the deer were wearing camouflage?
That sound just then?
That was your mind being blown.
Many thanks to Anony M., who also provided a photo of the bridal party, but I've decided to protect the identities of the guilty. After all, any bridesmaid forced to wear a camo dress with a neon orange petticoat and cowboy boots has suffered enough, don't you think?

Reports out of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this week are calling this "the year of the electron." And though the Bay area was gunning for center of the electric car universe, Detroit just may have an edge this week. Automakers from across the globe, the Big Three included, are touting hybrid, plug-in, or "extended range electric" cars in a scaled back display of what's around the corner. Some of the announcements with the biggest splashes:
Local batteries
Often lost in the talk of charge times, 0-60 numbers, and range of electric vehicles, the Los Angeles Times writes, is where these new electric car batteries are coming from. GM on Monday announced plans for a new Michigan plant just for assembling the batteries for its upcoming Chevy Volt plug-in electric hybrid. For now, that plant will use cells from Korean firm LG Chem, but "GM is getting back in the battery business," Chairman and Chief Executive Rick Wagoner said.
Cadillac Converj
An electric car from Cadillac. Yes, Cadillac. In an effort to prove that a car can be both luxurious and easy on the environment, GM took the wraps off its concept Caddy that LA Times auto columnist Dan Neil calls "a gorgeous, provocative, heated diamond of a sports coupe that could – just theoretically – contain the same range-extended gas-electric hybrid powertrain from the Volt."
Toyota Prius
The 2010 version of the highest profile hybrid around gets a redesigned body and a nine percent increase in fuel efficiency. Available for the first time is a solar roof option – not for running the air conditioner as rumored, but to run the ventilation system when the car's parked, keeping it cool. And speaking of parking, the next generation Prius gets a self-parking option that makes parallel parking a breeze.
Honda Insight
The original hybrid – from way back in 1999 – gets reborn for 2010 with a new design and hopes that it can bring Honda back to the forefront of fuel-efficient car sales. Of interest to hypermilers is the car's new "Ecological Drive Assist System" that turns achieving peak efficiency into an interactive experience. The speedometer changes color and the dashboard displays images to correspond with green driving practices. Think traffic meets Tamagotchi.
Chevrolet Spark
GM is thinking big in rolling out this small car based on 2007's Beat concept. Slated to arrive in 2011 in Asia, South America, Europe, and the US, the forward looking city car is GM's entrant in the efficient small car market. Expect it to get somewhere around 40 m.p.g. and to sell like hotcakes.
Mini Cooper E – and drop-top
The 2010 version of the cute and popular Mini Cooper convertible cleverly conceals the rollover protection bars behind the rear seats – a cosmetic change, but one that improves the top-down look of the car. And buyers of the 2010 model can track time spent with the top down with a standard "Openometer."
The electric version of the fixed-roof Cooper debuted at the show and is being leased to 500 drivers in LA and New York, with "just enough storage space for a gym bag, and a range of only 120 miles before recharging, all for triple the cost of the gasoline-powered model," according to Bloomberg. But drivers of "mom's taxi" need not apply – the gas-free Mini sacrifices its back seat to make room for the 570 lb battery pack.

(Reuters) - Many U.S. public pension funds are benefiting from double-digit annual returns in fiscal 2013 that are giving them breathing space to try to implement reforms and fix gaping deficits.
A raft of pension reforms since the financial crisis by many U.S. state and local governments have not repaired their pension debt, a factor in the bankruptcies of Detroit, Michigan, and the California cities of Stockton and San Bernardino.
A 20 percent gain on the U.S. stock market in the twelve months to June is, however, alleviating acute funding gaps in many areas.
"It is a marathon, not a sprint," said Keith Brainard, at the National Association of State Retirement Administrators. "I do not think any one-year returns are likely to affect the thinking about pension reforms but we have seen very strong returns since the low point of the equity market in 2009 and it is encouraging," he said.
Recent reforms by many U.S. cities and states have seen retirement benefits for new hires cut, and their contributions into pension plans raised. It will be several years before these reforms start to have an effect on gaps in pension funding.
As well as stock market gains, pension funds are being helped by relatively low exposure to the struggling bond market.
In the last decade bonds held by public pension funds fell from around one third to around one fourth of assets as yields declined.
According to Wilshire Associate U.S. public pension funds have about 25 percent of assets invested in bonds, compared to an average of 37 percent for corporate funds.
In the longer run, higher yields could even provide a boon for pension funds because of higher returns.
Funds will need higher returns as they adapt to new accounting rules set to begin taking effect next year.
Alicia Munnell, at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, co-authored a report last month showing U.S. state and local public pensions would have been a paltry 60 percent funded in 2012 if measured by the new rules. That compares with an estimated 72 percent for fiscal 2012 under old rules.
The new rules have been issued by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). One key provision is to slash projected rates of return for pension funds' unfunded portions from roughly 7.5 percent to a much lower market level. The move will greatly increase the amounts at which unfunded liabilities are calculated and the money states and cities will have to pay into their funds.
Munnell's study showed that if current projected return rates for public funds are reduced nationwide to five percent, the unfunded figure for America's public pensions jumps from $1 trillion currently to $2.8 trillion.
Still, Munnell is warning against alarmism.
"Public plan sponsors have made numerous changes to reduce their pension costs in the wake of the financial crisis and ensuing recession. The market has performed well in the last few years. Let's give the plans the time and space to work their way back to more comfortable funding limits," Munnell said. The funded ratios of state and local pension funds was at 103 percent in 2000, after a decade-long bull market.
So far this year, plans such as the California Public Employees' Retirement System, Florida's state fund, Ohio state teachers and Connecticut have reported returns well above 11 percent. Most others are expected to follow suit.
A recent report by Wilshire Associates found that in the 12 months preceding June all public funds had a median return of 12.4 percent, although that declined in the last quarter to just 0.24 percent.
Similar results are reported by Callan Associates, the San Francisco-based investment consulting firm.
A report by the credit rating agency Standard & Poor's said there are signs of stabilization in public pension underfunding.
John A. Sugden, primary analyst on the report, said signs were encouraging but warned against over-optimism.
"Good returns are a positive development," Sugden said. But he said recent reforms, where many states and cities have curbed benefits and increased contributions for new hires, will take a long time to produce results.
Rachel Barkely, a municipal credit analyst at Morningstar, said the new GASB accounting system and the stock market "are the two key factors that will drive the pension conversation for governments over the next few years."
Barkley said stock market returns could change if the Federal Reserve eases off its expansionary policy known as quantitative easing.
"There is a lot of uncertainty on whether and how financial markets will keep delivering good results," Barkley said.

Audio Specifications and Standards
From UA Libraries Digital Services Planning and Documentation
The following provides a brief overview of our standard audio specifications.
Technical Information:
Default File/Output Settings
- masters: .wav/WAVE at 24-bit/44.1khz
- note: IASA TC-04 calls for a minimum sampling rate of 48kHz (preferably 96kHz). We will discontinue use of 44.1kHz sampling rates pending confirmation of appropriate storage space as 24/48 vs 24/44.1 should yield only an 8% increase in space requirements. Projects already underway at the 24/44.1 spec will maintain that specification. - arora, 062910. Update: given remaining storage concerns, we will continue with 24/44.1. - arora, 030911.
- typically, 2s of silence is left or created at the beginning of each .wav, with 1s at the end.
- RMS levels are typically set fairly low, to -25db

Hate tying your kids shoes everyday before they step out of the house? Hate stopping to tie your own shoes mid-run? HICKIES products turn any pair of sneakers into convenient, comfortable, and stylish slip ons that are perfect for any activity from recess play to Mom and Dad's triathlons.
My Green Mattress was founded by Tim Masters. Tim is an experienced businessman, master craftsman, and devoted family man. Tim's daughter, Emily, inspired him to expand his offerings to include all natural mattresses. Shortly after Emily was born, it was apparent that she suffered from eczema and allergies. Tim and his wife, Cindy, took Emily to see the best pediatric dermatologists, but also did their own research and found that all-natural products could help alleviate Emily's symptoms. Tim realized it was time to offer all-natural mattresses to his customers, and rushed to put one in his daughter's crib. Emily is now sleeping on a twin-size, all-natural mattress handcrafted by her Dad. She is a happy, healthy little girl that loves to play with her three sisters, Rylee, Madelyn, Megan, and with her brother, Kyle. Tim began working as an apprentice at family-owned, Quality Sleep Shop, that was established in 1968. As an apprentice, Tim mastered the art of mattress making. He eventually bought the business, and has expanded it with the addition of the My Green Mattress division to keep up with the ever changing needs of his customers. (less) ... Read more

Next year I turn 60, and want to realise a lifelong dream of visiting India, hopefully with my husband or a friend. As well as visiting Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur, Mumbai, Goa and the state of Kerala, I have a strong interest in wildlife so would love to visit the Camel Fair, go tiger-spotting on a elephant, and see other animals. I would rather not "rough it", it being my first visit. What timeframe and itinerary would you suggest that isn't too rushed, and what would be the best way to travel? Should I engage a driver? What's the best time to travel in terms of temperature? What would you suggest in regard to accommodation? Can you give me a rough idea of costs? - Susan McClure
Lonely Planet's Sarah Bennett and Lee Slater write:
Your destination wish-list traverses nearly the length of India, from Delhi in the north to Kerala in the south, so you will need to either allocate a good couple of months, or travel briskly and include an aeroplane hop or two. Alternatively, you could concentrate on a smaller area densely packed with wilderness experiences. It won't be hard to hit a sweet spot: India has some of the richest biodiversity in the world, spread through more than 600 national parks and reserves. Outlining many and varied itineraries, Lonely Planet's India guidebook will prove invaluable both in your planning stage and on the road.
India is vast, so climatic conditions vary greatly. Generally speaking, it is defined by three seasons - hot, wet (monsoon), and cool. Our India guidebook details regional variations. The most pleasant time to visit most of the country is during the cooler period, November to mid-February, although you'll want to avoid Delhi and its surrounds when the cold sets in around mid-December.
Find yourself in the proximity of Jaipur in November and you can tick the famous Pushka Camel Fair off your list. Around 200,000 people converge on Pushka for this must-see event with up to 50,000 camels, horses and cattle. The place transforms into an extraordinary swirl of colour and sound, thronged with Hindu pilgrims, mystics, musicians, and a quiver of snake charmers. The often-bizarre cultural programme that takes place alongside the traditional trading and religious ceremonies lasts around a week. Earplugs will prove handy.
Tiger-spotting elephant safaris go through numerous parks and reserves, including Corbett Tiger Reserve north of Delhi, and Kahna National Park in central India. Ranthambhore National Park, near Jaipur, is also highly recommended for viewing tigers.
Hiring a car and driver is easily arranged and an excellent way to see several places in one day, and proves cost-effective when shared with others. Rail is not only reliable and reasonably priced, but a quintessential Indian experience in itself. Night journeys are memorable, particularly in air-con sleeper berths with meal service. Buses range widely, from sleek, comfortable coaches, to beaten-up old jalopies that are as cheap as chips but often driven with wilful abandon. Air travel is quick and efficient for long distances, with numerous airlines offering competitive fares. Around town, motorised rickshaws make for easy and quick zip-arounds, with a few human-powered specimens still found here and there.
On the financial front, India pleases all pockets. Other than level of indulgence, key variables are location and time of travel: as a general rule you'll pay more in larger cities such as Delhi and Mumbai, and at popular tourist destinations during peak season.
Budget travellers can survive on Rs1000 ($22) a day by staying in budget hotels or family-run guesthouses, eating at stalls and in basic restaurants, and travelling by bus and rail. Mid-range travellers should budget up to Rs5000 ($112) per day.
Could you please advise the distance between terminals one and two at Barcelona airport, and if there is a shuttle? - Margo
Lonely Planet's Sarah Bennett and Lee Slater write:
Barcelona's airport, Aeroport del Prat, does indeed have two terminals: the big, new Terminal 1, with a whopping 101 gates, and Terminal 2, with 48. The two terminals, 4km apart, are connected by a free shuttle (the green bus) which runs every six to seven minutes, 24 hours a day. The journey takes 10-15 minutes.
To get into the city from the airport, hop on the Aerobus. It takes 30-40 minutes, with three to 12 services per hour depending on the time of day.

Starfall Tactics - a space wargame with RTS elements
No, just Alpha :)Great, looking forward to the beta and playing with this some more. Hopefully the next phase will come soon for the Alpha, unless your getting ready for Beta, LOL =D
Thanks for answer)Hello :)
Unfortunately, I can't say anything about dates. This really depends on many things, including tests.
It will be like a... Codex. More of a handbook in the game, where you will see info (including some lore-based texts, maybe) about ships, modules and just anything we will add there. I will try to take some time to show it in articles once it's done. And, I guess Borzy (Andrey, Junior Game Designer) is busy with it right now - he will write an "Introduce yourself" post soon, so don't miss it!
(Got it - but not sure if you can do something at the moment. Just wait for the test :) )

I Call Fowl
I dunno, would you say some hen-pecked Wreckerator just winged this one?
I mean, I don't want to ruffle any feathers, but this isn't exactly poultry in motion.
Now this, on the other hand...
Hey Dana S. & Elin A., you know the expression "running around like a chicken with its head cut off"? Well, apparently, if they keep their heads, they just lay there niiiice and still-like.

NERSC-8 / Trinity Benchmarks
These benchmark programs are for use as part of the joint NERSC / ACES NERSC-8/Trinity system procurement. There are two basic kinds of benchmarks:
MiniApplications: miniFE, miniGhost, AMG, UMT, GTC, MILC, SNAP, and miniDFT
MicroBenchmarks: Pynamic, STREAM, OMB, SMB, ZiaTest, IOR, Metabench, PSNAP, FSTest, mpimemu, and UPC_FT
The SSP is an aggregate measure based on selected runs of the MiniApplications.
- The benchmark run rules are available here (PDF, last updated August 6, 2013).
- The TrinityNERSC8BenchmarkResults Excel spreadsheet should be used to report results for all runs included as part of the Offeror's response.
- SSP Brief description, sample calculation, and Hopper baseline SSP value.
- Change Log
- miniFE MiniFE mimics the finite element generation, assembly and solution for an unstructured grid problem.
- MiniGhost a Finite Difference mini-application that implements a difference stencil across a homogenous three dimensional domain.
- AMG AMG is a parallel algebraic multigrid solver for linear systems arising from problems on unstructured grids.
- UMT UMT is a 3-D, deterministic, multigroup, photon transport code for unstructured meshes.
- GTC 3D Gyrokinetic Toroidal Code
- SNAP SNAP is a proxy for the performance of a modern discrete ordinates neutral particle transport application.
- MILC MILC represents part of a set of codes used to study Lattice Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD).
- MiniDFT MiniDFT is intended to capture the performance-critical portions of a density functional theory materials science computation.
- NPB UPC-FT This is the NAS Parallel Benchmark FFT program written in the UPC language.
- Pynamic Pynamic tests dynamic loading subsystem design and the ability to handle heavy use of dynamically linked libraries from a large Python-based scientific application.
- STREAM The STREAM benchmark is designed to measure the sustainable memory bandwidth and corresponding computation rate for four simple vector kernels
- OMB MPI Tests The OSU MicroBenchmarks carry out a variety of message passing performance tests using MPI.
- SMB The "Host Processor Overhead" and "Real World Message Rate" benchmarks from the Sandia MPI Micro-Benchmark Suite (SMB).
- PSNAP P-SNAP is a micro benchmark to measure OS impact on parallel jobs.
- ZiaTest This test executes a new proposed standard benchmark method for MPI startup that is intended to provide a realistic assessment of both launch and wireup requirements.
- mdtest Used to measure file system metadata operation rates
- IOR IOR is used for testing performance of parallel file systems using various interfaces and access patterns.
- mpimemu A simple tool that helps approximate MPI library memory usage as a function of scale.

Driving home the other day, I had an interesting conversation with my son. After listening to Ryan Seacrest's Sunday Top 40, one of his favourite songs – We Are Young by Fun, comes on. We all love that song – it's a catchy tune after all. Listen to it here.
The conversation gets interesting when Sam says to me, "Why did you tell Dad you like this song, but too bad about the lyrics?"
"Because it's a drinking song, and tons of little kids are going around singing it now. Sort of weird." I tell him.
"It's about everybody getting drunk and having to carry each other out at the end of the night. And at the beginning of the song, he talks about his girlfriend wearing a pair of sunglasses to hide a scar he gave her – so he's a woman beater to boot."
Sam is shocked. "No – the part about sunglasses is code for a type of guy (apparently who thinks he's über cool, but is a poser) , and he asks for a scar." (which made no sense at all to me, but he insisted that was how it was worded).
When we came home, I googled the lyrics – and it turns out we were both right.
"Give me a second, I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
my lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My seats been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar
and I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
but between the drinks and subtle things
the holes in my apologies
you know I'm trying hard to take it back
so if by the time the bar closes
and you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Great song, very catchy tune, but really – these words are horrible for our kids to be chanting as an anthem. And I know perhaps my daughter doesn't get the lyrics, and I guess my son didn't either until I tuned him into it – but beyond my kids who are 9 and 12, endless teenagers – who do understand the lyrics – have this looped on their iPods. And I don't want to completely age myself as a fuddy-duddy here – but can't we sing about love, lust, heart ache and good times without talking about violence and the acceptance of it? About falling down drunk being jolly and grand?
Here, let me beat you, lets all get drunk and forget about it – we're young! Ugh.
I know, I know, we had those songs too – I know you'll remind me of some doozies. After all – in the 80's bands like AC-DC, Nazareth, Black Sabbath ruled, and I guess they weren't singing about apple pie and being kind to their women. But did they really openly confess to beating them and have us sing along? I could say I long for the good old days of George Micheal and Boy George – but I guess there may be arguments about intent there too.
I find it an odd predicament – as a writer, and one who facilitates writing workshops, I love when people delve into the dark places. I read or listen to their work and don't feel like I'm condoning bad behavior or a contributing to a shift of acceptance of such in our society. But as a Mom who sings along to songs like this with her kids on a long car ride, it's something that makes me cringe, but that tune is just so friggin' catchy.
I do remember loving the song Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, and belting out the lyrics, and I guess that was about an assassin with bargain basement prices. But it was also the time of Bananarama, The Go Go's and the rockers like Bryan Adams who could belt a tune, but not make my mother choke on the words being sung over the radio waves.
How about you readers? Do you remember songs you loved as a kid that make you cringe looking back?
Tell me the truth…am I showing my age?
