Opportunities, yet challenges, are evident as the biomass industry develops new and innovative methods of producing renewable energy across the U.S., according to Texas AgriLife experts.
Scientists from Texas AgriLife Research and the Texas AgriLife Extension Service recently discussed ongoing biomass production and logistical efforts in producing renewable energy from biomass at a conference in College Station.
Members of the Rural Alliance for Renewable Energy, which includes AgriLife Research, co-sponsored the event held at the Clayton Williams Jr. Alumni Center at Texas A&M University.
From a logistics standpoint, biomass crops such as sorghum and miscanthus can produce high yields, but removing moisture during harvesting and processing is a big challenge, the experts said.
Over the last four years, AgriLife Extension has evaluated more than 25 different biomass and sweet sorghum varieties and hybrids in the Brazos bottom and at additional locations throughout Texas.
In the Brazos bottom, sorghum seed was planted in mid-April. It was harvested for the first time in mid-July and for the second time in late October and early November. Annual yields in the Brazos bottom averaged between 9 and 11.5 tons of dry matter, with the best hybrids yielding as high as 15 tons of dry matter per acre, said Juerg Blumenthal, AgriLife Extension agronomist.
"Plants at harvest contain 75 to 80 percent water and that means freshly harvested biomass contains as much as 30 to 35 tons of water," Blumenthal told attendees. "That presents some logistical issues."
Removing the water is a critical consideration once the biomass is harvested and ready for transportation, he said. The added water content adds to the load and increases transportation costs.
Another continuation of the research is looking at how long a sorghum crop can be left standing in the field during fall and winter. Blumenthal said they are evaluating how much lodging (falling down of the plant) takes place.
"We found the later in the season the more lodging you have," Blumenthal said.
Comparing the energy sorghum to corn for ethanol, Blumenthal said the 15.2 tons of dry matter as produced by the best sorghum hybrids is equal to all above-ground biomass (grain, cobs and stover) in a corn crop yielding 360 bushels per acre.
Steve Searcy, AgriLife Research engineer, discussed logistics methods for harvesting biomass in the field and delivering them for conversion. He discussed the limitations of using traditional hay harvesting methods for dedicated biomass crops, pointing out the need for handling large packages, as is done for international shipping.
There are issues to contend with, Searcy explained, and AgriLife Research has been experimenting with forming large packages of chopped biomass as an alternative.
"Our challenges are to minimize water when harvesting," he said. "We also need to minimize the dry matter loss during storage and develop logistics systems that can work from Beaumont to the Texas-Oklahoma border, meaning high rainfall to semi-arid regions."
Packaging is another area under study. First generation logistics are similar to hay harvesting.
"Current haying techniques can be used for biomass, but the costs will be high," he said. "Second generation logistics systems under development will combine capabilities from various systems to minimize cost and maximize the amount of dry matter available for conversion."
Searcy said AgriLife Research is studying and evaluating large packages, such as a 24- foot-long module of biomass.
"You can put two on a semi-trailer and haul it down the road," Searcy said. "We're looking to minimize labor and equipment."
Searcy said in his concluding remarks they have worked with four different commercial mower/conditioners and have yet to get the results they've wanted. More conditioning and drying is needed to remove water from the energy sorghum stalks quickly.
"It takes two or more weeks for it to dry to a level we consider safe for storage," he said.
But the integrity of the module has held up well when traveling on a truck up to 60 miles, he added.

We often forget what Valentine's Day is really about. It is a holiday that has received lots of hype but often the Holiday can leave us feeling unfulfilled or with lighter pockets and nothing to show for it. Here are 8 Valentine's Ideas to Make this Valentine's Day one your kids and spouse will remember.
Valentine's Day is a day to remind our loved ones that they are special to us and loved; and a day to tell them how much we really care. It is a day to reconnect with our husband or wife, a day to hug our kids with the biggest bear hug of the year. It is a day to show our love through very simple gestures that say, "You are special and you mean the world to me. I love You or Thank You for Everything." It can often be difficult to decide what to do for Valentine's Day. What do we do differently from any other day with our kids? Or what do we get our husband (or wife) to show him we love him or her? First, remember it is about enjoying each other's company or kind, loving words and gestures. It is about taking the time to reconnect with our loved one or making extra time to play with our kids or make them a special breakfast. 1.Print Off or Pick out a special picture of each of your children and put it in a photo card or glue it to the front of a heavy weight paper that is folded into a card. Write a note or letter to each of your children telling them why they are so special and how much you love them.
2. Give them a little bag, mailbox or box with surprise treasures. You could put a piece or two of candy, but try and make the focus fun things like stickers, a little card, a heart notepad and eraser, or other small items.
3. Put a Special Valentines Sticker or note on their lunch or backpack or draw on their lunch bag a special message. 4.If you are interested in buying something for them, you can find great gifts for under $5-10.00 at Target, Hallmark or other stores. A few ideas are: A cooking apron set (this one if $8.00 from target),a book, and art supplies.
5. Schedule a Night to celebrate Valentine's with your Family (or a time of day-earlier) and schedule a time to spend dinner or after the kids go to bed together. Make or order a favorite family meal and enjoy it together. Finish it off with a heart inspired brownie or cookies for everyone. Read a favorite story to your kids before bedtime.
How to Celebrate Valentine's Day with Your Spouse 1. Spend a few hours with your husband or wife- go out to dinner, or out for pizza and then rent a new or favorite movie. Or pour a glass of your favorite bubbly or hot tea and run a bath and go all out- add the candles and soft music-things you might not do every day.
Make spending time together the priority. And pick something you both enjoy doing together that allows you to relax and enjoy the time. 2. Show Your Love Through Gestures, a Nice Meal or a Date.Its not about the Candy folks. Most of us do not need a huge box of chocolate (we might love chocolate, but then buy a high end small dark chocolate for a treat after dinner. Focus on what your Spouse would enjoy doing or getting from you. It may be time alone, or a back rub, or a special gift to tell him/her you love them.
3. Tell your husband or wife how much you love them and why with a card or note. Most of all enjoy the day and celebrate your loved ones. You will find that showing your love to them is the best Valentine's Gift you will receive. Save Money on Valentine's Cards for Your Kids- Print Lots of Freee, Cute Valentine's at www.ZiggityZoom.com for all of your kids classmates and friends.

Hello there Dr. Dick,
My name is David and I'm a guy of 19 years. I have been with my girlfriend for a every long time and we're having sex too. But I have a big problem. And I think u should know about it and help me with it. Every time I try to have sex with my girlfriend, it doesn't take more than 10-seconds and I get out of control. I was wondering if u can help me buy some sex drugs from the drug store that can help me to have sex more that even 30-minutes. Please I'm coming to you as a son coming to his dad and I hope u can help me here. Thx very much for reading my message.
Thanks for the nice message and the dad/son allusion. How sweet is that? Actually, considering our significant age difference, you may be surprised to learn that I'm old enough to be your grandfather. But then again, who's counting the years, right?
Listen, (grand)son, you don't need no stinkin' medications for your short-fuse problem. You just need to train yourself to last longer. And for that I have the proper prescription right here.
I've written about this issue a bunch and I've also talked about this issue a bunch in my podcasts. Here's what you do. Look for the CATEGORIES section in the sidebar, it's a pull down menu. Scroll down till you find the heading SEX THERAPY. Now under that category you will see numerous subcategories. Everything is alphabetical.
Now, scroll down further until you see the TOPIC titled: LASTING LONGER. That's where you wanna go. Any one of those podcasts or written columns will contain the info you're looking for.
For example, this is good one, a posting titled — Sit and Stay…Longer. You will notice that are detailed instructions on how you can learn to delay your ejaculation and…wait for it…Last Longer. Some of the exercises you'll even be able to do with your GF. In fact, she can help you gain control over your ejaculatory response and it will be more fun than a barrel of monkeys. See, no drugs necessary.
I advise you to give this process all the time it needs to succeed. Write back, one of these days, and let me know how this worked out for you.
Good luck

As many of you know I love sitcoms. In the past I've talked about the importance of good writing, good acting, taking risks, being edgy, comedy coming from the situation and knowing everything you need to know about the show from it's pilot. I am surprised, almost embarrassed even that I never mentioned Buffalo Bill. This brilliant but sadly short lived sitcom aired from 1983 to 1984 and stared Dabney Coleman as Bill Bittinger, a local talk show host in Buffalo NY.
I remember back in 1983 NBC promoted the show by saying, Buffalo Bill makes "J.R. Ewing look like a Boy Scout" That was enough to make me want to watch the show. The shows opening told you that the title character was a sleazy guy with a good public image. The pilot actually delivered on the network's promise (although I saw Bill more as a white collar Archie Bunker without the moral high ground). Bill was truly the man you loved to hate. The show did not last long, a real shame because I have never met anyone who did not like the show. I used to say that the show was ahead of its time. I've since had to amend that statement because 22 years later that time has still not come.
When I found out that Buffalo Bill was coming out on DVD I went to the store and got the last copy. I had to wait a few weeks to watch the DVD because I was watching the new fall shows, the returning shows and besides I HAVE A LIFE! Both my wife and I have a favorite episode, #13 Titled: Hit the Road, Newdell. In this episode the racist Bill fires Newdell (Charles Robinson) then has a nightmare where he is persecuted by a roomful of African Americans while lip syncing Ray Charles' Hit the Road Jack. For legal reasons (music rights) the nightmare scene was cut. Why was there not any mention of that on the DVD case? That episode was one of the reasons why I bought the DVD in the first place. I also wish the DVD had some extras like interviews with the shows actors and writers. They must have some great stories. Maybe we will see that on TV Land Confidential.
To quote Bill Bittinger, "Be good to yourself and be good to Buffalo".
Stay Tuned

MIDDLETOWN, R.I. - Sophomore quarterback Steven Wilken (Ringwood, N.J.) compiled 393 yards of offense and four touchdown passes as the Salve Regina University football team earned its 10th straight victory with a convincing 41-24 win over Endicott during its New England Football Conference (NEFC) Boyd Division opener at Gaudet Field on Homecoming Weekend. The Seahawks are now a perfect 4-0 (1-0 NEFC Boyd) on the season and have not lost since October 1 of last year. The Gulls even their record at 2-2 overall with the loss and begin Boyd Division play at 0-1.
Wilken had a terrific day behind center, completing 17-of-26 attempts for 302 yards and four scores through the air, while also rushing for 91 yards on 15 carries (6.1 YPC). Sophomore Dan Buonocore (Mahwah, N.J.) led all players in rushing, totaling 109 yards and a touchdown on just 12 carries (9.1 YPC), while also catching five passes for 54 yards, including a 21-yard touchdown reception. Sophomore Matthew Traynor (Secaucus, N.J.) reeled in five passes for a game-high 112 yards receiving, scoring a pair of touchdowns in the process, while senior Trey Scales (Boston, Mass.) added three catches for 89 yards, including a 65-yard touchdown grab.
Defensively, the Seahawks received a great effort from sophomore Matt Conroy (Philadelphia, Pa.) who led all players with 13 tackles and also grabbed an interception. Sophomore Phil Terio(Trumbull, Conn.) continued to make big plays, intercepting a pair of passes while taking one back 52 yards for a touchdown. Junior Joshua Burnett (Whitman, Mass.) and senior Anthony Hannon (Orange, Calif.) also played well, making 12 and 11 stops, respectively.
The Gulls were led offensively by sophomore quarterback Drew Frenette (New Bedford, Mass.) who completed 22-of-46 passes for 248 yards, tossing one touchdown and three interceptions. Senior running back Jared DiBiase (Cranston, R.I.) totaled a team-high 78 yards on the ground, while sophomore Ryan McLaughlin (Tomkins Cove, N.Y.) ran in a pair of touchdowns. On defense, junior Andre Holfinger (Sterling, Mass.) made 11 tackles, including seven solo stops and three tackles for a loss. Freshman Brian Kolosky (Plymouth, Conn.) added 10 stops and a fumble recovery in the loss, while junior Davas Wright (Fall River, Mass.) compiled three pass breakups and an interception.
After holding the Gulls to a quick three-and-out on their opening possession, the Seahawks took over at their own 16-yard line and promptly marched 84 yards on six plays for the game's first score. Wilken started the drive with a 41-yard strike to Traynor and then finished the march by going back to Traynor for an 11-yard touchdown. Endicott junior Andrew Lawson (Framingham, Mass.) blocked the extra point to keep Salve Regina's lead at 6-0.
The Gulls drove to the Salve Regina 30 yard line on their very next possession, when the Seahawks made a stand on 4th-and-one to cause a turnover on downs.
After a missed field goal on the ensuing drive, the Seahawks defense held for another quick three-and-out to get the ball back. The Seahawk offense responded with a 7-play, 60-yard drive which was capped by a 13-yard touchdown pass from Wilken to Traynor to give Salve Regina an early 13-0 lead.
On Endicott's very next drive, Terio picked off a pass on the second play of the second quarter and took it back 52 yards for a score to extend the Seahawks' lead to 20-0.
However, the Gulls refused to go away quietly, marching 83 yards on 11 plays, including a one-yard touchdown plunge by McLaughlin to crawl back within 20-7.
On the Seahawks next drive, junior Curtis Manuel (Beverly, Mass.) blocked a Salve Regina punt, giving the Gulls possession on the Salve Regina five yard line, directly leading to a four-yard touchdown run by McLaughlin to make it a one score game, 20-14.
After several failed possessions by both teams, the Seahawks had the ball on their own 41 and elected to go for it on fourth-and-inches. However, the Gulls defense held strong and took over possession inside Salve Regina territory.
Frenette led the Gulls to pay dirt by completing three passes, including a 13-yard touchdown to senior Mike Murphy (Chelmsford, Mass.) to take a 21-20 lead into the break.
After seeing their 20-point lead disappear, the Seahawks came out of the locker room on a mission. Buonocore returned the opening kickoff 31-yards to set up the offense on their own 42. Wilken then connected with Traynor down the left side for 37 yards, before hooking up with Buonocore on the very next play for a 21 yard touchdown, capping a 58-yard drive that took just 27 seconds. After the ensuing extra point was good, the Seahawks were back on top, 27-21.
After a couple of stops by both defenses, the Seahawks gave themselves a cushion by marching 74 yards on 10 plays led by Buonocore. The sophomore rushed five times on the drive for 59 yards, including a three-yard touchdown rush to put Salve Regina on top 34-21.
The Seahawks nationally ranked defense held strong the rest of the way, while the offense tacked on a 65-yard touchdown pass from Wilken to Scales to seal the 41-24 victory.
Both teams return to Boyd Division play next Saturday, with the Gulls hosting Curry at noon, and the Seahawks traveling to face Western New England at 1 p.m.

Rate Of Mental Health Treatment Increasing Faster for Kids Than Adults —Study: Outpatient visits resulting in mental health diagnoses increased significantly in the U.S., especially in children and adolescents , a new study finds. The researchers looked at doctor visits by children, adolescents and adults between 1995 and 2010, and found that at the end of the study period, for every 100 youths (age 20 or younger) who visited the doctor, there were 15 visits that resulted in a mental disorder diagnosis, up from eight visits in 1995, according to the study published in the journal JAMA Psychiatry. The study authors say the increase may be due to greater public acceptance of mental health treatment for children. For adults, the rates of getting diagnosed with a mental disorder also increased, but at a much slower pace. In 2010, about 28 visits out of all visits made by every 100 people resulted in receiving a diagnosis, compared to 23 visits in 1995.For both adults and youths, doctor visits that resulted in a medication prescription increased as well. Both groups were about twice as likely to receive medication for mental health issues in 2010 compared to 1995. The researchers also found that prescriptions made by non-psychiatrist physicians, such as pediatricians and general practitioners, grew very rapidly during the study period.

Deeds Expresses Anger at Mental Health Agency: Virginia state Sen. R. Creigh Deeds, who is recuperating at home after his son attacked him with a knife before taking his own life last week, blamed a local mental health agency for the tragedy in an interview with a Bath County newspaper. Deeds told the Recorder newspaper that the Rockbridge Area Community Services Board, which administers mental health and substance use services, is "responsible" for his son's death. But Deeds said it was too soon to talk in detail. He vowed to help other families in crisis receive the help they need, the Recorder reported. (The Washington Post, 11/25/13)

Latest Research
MRI Technique Might Aid Diagnosis, Treatment of ADHD: A new MRI method can detect low iron levels in the brains of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), researchers report. The method could help doctors and parents make better informed decisions about medication, they say. Drugs used to treat ADHD affect levels of the brain chemical dopamine. Because iron is required to process dopamine, using MRI to assess iron levels in the brain may provide a noninvasive, indirect measure of the chemical. If the findings are confirmed in larger studies, this technique might help improve ADHD diagnosis and treatment. The method might allow researchers to measure dopamine levels without injecting the patient with a substance that enhances imaging. Researchers used an MRI technique called magnetic field correlation imaging to measure iron levels in the brains of 22 children and teens with ADHD and another group of 27 children and teens without the disorder. The scans revealed that the 12 ADHD patients who'd never been treated with drugs had lower brain iron levels than those who'd received the drugs and those in the control group. The lower iron levels in the ADHD patients who'd never taken stimulant drugs appeared to normalize after they took the medicines. No significant differences in patients' brain iron levels were detected through blood tests or a more conventional method of measuring brain iron called MRI relaxation rates, the researchers noted.

Jaguar Attacks Crocodile in Epic National Geographic Video
National Geographic has released an epic video of a jaguar attacking a crocodile in all it's raw glory. Don't worry, there is no blood or gore or anything like that, but this video proves how accurate a jaguar can be when hunting it's prey. It also proves you don't ever want to mess with a one.
According to National Geographic, the video was filmed in Brazil's Pantanal wetlands.
Scientist Luke Dollar adds:
"This guy knew his business. This guy got right in the thickest part of the brain case and sunk those teeth in, and that's pretty amazing when you consider that a caiman's brain is probably the size of a walnut."
You can check out the pictures of this incredible attack on National Geographic's website.

Other Names:
- Myocardial Glucose Utilization Rate [ Time Frame: Weeks 0 and 16 ]Radio-tracer (11C-glucose) and positron emission tomography quantification of myocardial glucose utilization rate. The rate at which glucose exits the blood, enters the muscle cells in the left ventricle, and is metabolized (ATP generation, glycolysis, glycogenolysis, or lactate production). Total glucose utilization rate in the left ventricle of the heart.
- Myocardial Glucose Utilization Rate Per Unit Insulin [ Time Frame: Weeks 0 and 16 ]Radio-tracer (11C-glucose) and positron emission tomography quantification of myocardial glucose utilization rate per unit of plasma insulin. Total glucose utilization rate in the left ventricle of the heart expressed per unit of the circulating plasma insulin concentration.
- Myocardial Fatty Acid Utilization Rate [ Time Frame: Weeks 0 and 16 ]Radio-tracer (11C-palmitate) and positron emission tomography quantification of myocardial fatty acid utilization rate. The rate at which palmitate exits the blood, enters the muscle cells in the left ventricle, and is metabolized (oxidation, re-esterification).
- Myocardial Fatty Acid Oxidation Rate [ Time Frame: Weeks 0 and 16 ]Radio-tracer (11C-palmitate) and positron emission tomography quantification of myocardial fatty acid oxidation rate.

- Myocardial Contractile Function During Diastole [ Time Frame: Weeks 0 and 16 ]
Echocardiographic quantification of (E/A) early to late diastolic filling velocity. Aria transfer blood to the ventricles in 2 steps:
- blood collected in the atria falls into the ventricles when the atrioventricular valves opens. In the left heart, the velocity at which the blood moves during this initial action is called the early or "E" filling velocity.
- residual blood in the atria, is emptied during diastole by atrial contraction. The velocity of the blood during atrial contraction is the "A" (for atrial) filling velocity. These are expressed as a ratio (E/A). If A exceeds E velocity (ratio <1.0) this is a clinical marker of diastolic dysfunction. This can occur when the left ventricular wall becomes so stiff as to impair proper filling, which can lead to diastolic heart failure.

Learn with interview
- 2 Posts
- Age 21
Last month I took a plan to write an essay about children on the street and I surprised for what I got and the real facts in reality. Actually I made an essay with my partner and she really helping for this.
My topic essay is about children on the street and their life, so I search on internet about the whole detail information and I went to library in my school. After that, I realized that I needed more information about it because I'am a curious person so I had a plan to interview with them.
One day, that plan held. It was a midday and such a tired day, took a walk around bus station, railway station, traditional market and market area. I found the total of children is 14 child. I interview with them and asked a lot of question that I wrote first before interview.
They're really open and friendly with me, when I asked about their family, their school and especially their whole life. After all interview, I got a lesson and I learn.
"Life is life, you cant choose, but you can move. Its about your choice, to be high or down."
Everything can happen with this interview, and everything seems unfair when you know what is the real world looks like for unlucky people.

Green Roofs Keep Pollutants out of Urban Waterways American University Washington DC
More News
American University environmental science professor's research shows green roofs that use a special foam instead of soil capture pollution while reducing energy use.
Rooftop gardens, or green roofs, are known to reduce energy use in buildings and catch stormwater runoff, but new research from American University shows that green roofs also absorb pollutants. The research, which takes on an area that previously has not been explored widely by scientists, has implications for how cities can improve the health of their rivers, streams and estuaries.
"The potential is that institutions and businesses could reduce their pollution footprint," said Stephen MacAvoy. assistant professor of environmental science at AU. "If large numbers of green roof systems were installed throughout Washington, D.C. they would contribute greatly to keeping harmful nutrients and suspended solids found in runoff from entering the city's waterways."
MacAvoy works with D.C. Fire & Emergency Medical Services, which received a $300,000 grant for installation and monitoring of green roofs at its fire stations, financial analysis of energy savings and incentives, and research on the ecological impacts.
Significant Pollutant Capture
On the rooftop at D.C.'s Engine 12, green roof panels cover approximately 2,200 square feet. Instead of soil, a new kind of foam technology by the company Aqualok holds plants. MacAvoy and his students conduct chemical analyses, and after five storms over seven months, their results showed significant capture of pollutants, specifically suspended solids of 78 percent and nitrates by up to 82 percent. In fact, the green roof systems became more effective as time passed. After seven months, they were absorbing more pollutants than at the beginning.
Fewer pollutants entering the Anacostia River. a key waterway in the Mid-Atlantic region, is significant. D.C. has declared it wants the Anacostia "fishable and swimmable" by 2032, and reducing sediments and nutrients will help achieve this goal. "Bacteria and algae rob the river of oxygen, and low oxygen kills most invertebrates. Sediments clog fish gills and bury bottom-dwelling life forms and fish eggs," said MacAvoy.
Fire Stations = Ideal Subjects
Keen on going green, D.C. Fire & EMS conducts sustainable projects such as collecting rainwater and rooftop gardens. Fire stations provide ideal subjects since green roofs can cool the floor directly below the roof. Each station is a two-story building with a non-air conditioned ground floor garage and a heavily air-conditioned second-floor dormitory. Results comparing utility data on Engine 12 from 2013 and 2012 showed a 5 percent annual reduction in electric consumption after installation of the green roof.
The setup is fairly simple: Pans collect untreated runoff and flow through green surfaces of planted roof panels, unplanted roof panels and a ground-level "bioswale," which looks like a large square rain barrel stuffed with plants (grasses and ferns). Plant varieties growing in a three-to-four inch thick foam matrix capture and absorb nitrogen from rainwater. MacAvoy's analysis shows fewer suspended solids and nitrates are leaving the bioswale as well. This year, the research will be expanded to include three more green roofs of both foam and soil.
A Model of Best Practices
"At D.C. Fire & EMS, we play an active role in practicing sustainability. Through our efforts with green roofs, we hope to determine a kind of 'best practices' approach that can benefit residents, businesses and our colleagues in the municipality, for which kind of green roofs work best," said D.C. Deputy Fire Chief David Foust. "Green roofs must yield economic benefits and ecological performance to be truly effective and desirable for property owners and municipalities."
With help from Glenn Williamson, owner of Amber Real Estate LLC, and civil engineers, an economic assessment on energy savings and potential stormwater credits will be done when the project concludes next year. The assessment will provide an estimate of stormwater credits that could be received through public incentive programs and how water fees could be reduced.
"The idea is for businesses or institutions to know clearly what must be invested up front and what kind of actual returns can be generated to repay or offset that investment," Williamson said.
All of the economic and environmental findings will be reported back to the grantor, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. MacAvoy and Williamson also have been invited to present the findings at the annual Cities Alive sustainable building conference in Nashville later this year.
"Fewer chemicals entering our waterways is crucial to ecosystem health," MacAvoy said. "People want to live in nice, clean cities, and greening our cities must be a priority for all of us."

SALEM, Ore. – (Day One Individual Results | Day One Team Results | Second Round Pairings) Defending national champion Oklahoma City closed day one of the 2013 NAIA Men's Golf National Championships with an eight-stroke lead after the tournament's opening 18 holes. The 62nd annual event is being played out at Creekside Golf Club and is hosted by the Cascade Collegiate Conference and Corban University (Ore.).
"We drew a game plan and stuck to that game plan," said Oklahoma City head coach Kyle Blaser. "Their emotions were pretty even-keel today, which is something I stress with my guys. The way I approach it – today is over and tomorrow is a new day. The guys are anxious and ready to get back out there."
The second-ranked Stars finished the round with three individuals under par en route to a team total of 280. Anthony Marchesani highlighted the squad and posted the best round of the opening day with a 4-under 68 that included back-to-back birdies on Nos. 12 and 13. The freshman from Rosebud, Australia had only one bogey on the day, which came with a four on the par-three sixth. Marchesani holds a one-stroke lead over teammate Sondre Ronold and Colin Brennan of Johnson & Wales (Fla.), who finished the day at 3-under par (69).
"Overall it was a pretty solid round and I didn't make too many mistakes," said Oklahoma City's Marchesani. "I'm going to stick to the game plan that we set out in the practice round and good things will happen."
Grand View (Iowa) rests in second-place after carding a first round 288. The Vikings' Tyler Christians overcame a pair of bogeys on the front nine with four birdies on the backside, including a run of three-straight between holes 12 – 14, to enter the clubhouse at 2-under par (70). Joining Christians in the red is Mike Slavin at 2-under, while Matt Weeks closed the afternoon at even par.
Rounding out the top five are Johnson & Wales, Bellevue (Neb.) and Faulkner (Ala.) who are tied for third at 294.

Battleship: Rihanna's Acting Debut!
Rihanna has signed up to play the female lead in the upcoming action-adventure Battleship, in theaters May 2012.
The 22-year-old Barbadian singer will star alongside on-screen brothers Taylor Kitsch (Friday Night Lights) and Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood).
The flick, which will be helmed by actor/director Peter Berg, is based on the adaptation of Hasbro's naval combat board game.
Alex will play a straight and narrow naval officer while Taylor will be the wildly spirited naval officer who idolizes his brother. Battleship is to begin shooting on Aug. 30 in Hawaii.
Soooooooooo exciting!!!

Jonathan Niese threw 4.2 scoreless innings this afternoon against the Tigers, begging the question: Why not just off call the charade with Johan Santana?
It is clear Santana won't be ready for the start of the season, and the only possible result in rushing him is risk injury.
Terry Collins has already said Niese would replace Santana as the Opening Day starter and Jeremy Hefner will take his place on the roster if the veteran lefty isn't ready.
The Mets are waiting for Santana to throw batting practice and in the bullpen before he gets in a game, and then, under normal circumstances make six exhibition starts until he stretches it 30 innings. Santana's current timetable is to make four starts.
The Mets can't deal Santana because of his $31 million contract, and their best value for him is for him to pitch as well as possible.
That begins with being healthy.
METS NOTES: Frank Francisco said he's feeling fine after yesterday's bullpen session. He said the next step is another bullpen in a day or two, "maybe," he said. … Jenrry Mejia gave up one hit in a scoreless inning today against Detroit.

AMD A10-6800K and A10-6700 Review: Richland Finally Lands
Results: Skyrim, DiRT 3, and Battlefield 3
This title is CPU bound when using a relatively high end GPU, but is more GPU bound when using an APU. A manual runthrough was captured with FRAPS. Settings are put to 1280x960 with Ultra level graphics, 8X AA, and 16X AF. Ryan was unable to replicate this run with the 4670K, so it again is not represented here.
We see a small bump in both average and minimum frame rates, but it is not nearly as impressive as we had hoped. Still, it is an improvement, though around the 7% mark rather than 10 to 15%.
DiRT 3
DiRT 3 is a DX11 based racer from Codemasters. It does not have the heavy lighting routines of DiRT: Showdown, but it still looks very nice. The High preset was used with a 1280x960 resolution. This also has a DX10 fallback, so it should run on the i3 processor. The built-in benchmark is used for this test.
The 4670K was present for this, and it gets mostly destroyed by the AMD parts. This is a very solid win for AMD over the GT2 enabled 4670K. The couple frame differences between the 5800K and 6800K are again not impressive, but they do show an improvement.
Battlefield 3
This is another very popular title that is coded for DX11. Settings were put the Medium preset with 1280x960 resolution. A manual runthrough of Operation Swordbreaker was captured with FRAPS. Ryan was again unable to match my benchmarking run with the 4670K.
Here was see a bit larger of a difference in performance between the chips. The 2133 memory on the 5800K helps it a ton! If a user already owns 2133 memory, then it is an easy upgrade to flash the BIOS and utilize that higher memory speed. If they do not have 2133 memory, it is likely not worth their money to upgrade.
Really good review Josh! It looks like AMD has another solid APU on its hands, all things considered.
EDIT: Wow, those are some nice overclocking results, especially for the GPU!
I think the CPU OC is a lot more impressive, 4.8GHz and using 140w under load? that's pretty good
what software was used for the (stock) load entire system test?
it's strange that the difference between the 100 and 65w TDP CPUs would only be 15w (6700 vs 5800K), but still, performance is the same, so... not bad.
the ability to use the IGP + any other card would be quite good.
I used Cinebench 11.5 to load up the CPU cores for power testing.
Real world TDPs are... interesting. AMD sets a level for the worst case scenario for their parts, so there is going to be some variances chip to chip. So while the 6800K is officially a 100 watt TDP part, it most likely consumes less power than that rating implies.
There are certainly some interesting wrinkles to this release. It is certainly not a world beater, but the overall product is still pretty impressive. AMD must be extremely happy that Intel decided to forego putting GT3 and GT3e graphics on the desktop. If Intel had done that, AMD would have an even tougher time selling chips.
Doesn't matter what AMD releases for the next month or two.
Like it or not, unless it comes with a supermodel serving you beer, it will be hard to drown out all the buzz around Haswell.
On the other hand, so far, I've been very unimpressed with Haswell for the desktop enthusiast.
the ability to use the IGP + any other card, is disallowed for higher end cards! Is this in the hardware or BIOS? Can Lucid's MVP Virtu software get around, AMD's obvious antiHSA move (not allowing higher end discrete cards and IGPU), the AMD restriction? Why is AMD, the founder of the HSA foundation, doing something so antiHSA, by not allowing the user access to the full computational ability of their APUs, in conjuction with Higher End discrete GPU cards! AMD do NOT let your marketong folks ruin you! This whole thing reeks of milking the user base, Just like Intel does with it's less than adequate, planed incremental performence/technological increases! Oh let's give the user just enough advancment to keep them buying! I wish there was a third company out there with an x86 license, and some GPU IP, to keep both AMD and INTEL on the straight and narrow!
It's not because AMD is trying to be anti-HSA, it's because if you have a higher end card it would actually not help you process data any faster. This is due to the fact that the current way they an IGPU + Discrete card interact is by "Crossfire X". The methodology is that both GPUs"combine" to appear as one card. This eliminates a lot of other issues that AMD saw with "Hybrid Crossfire". If you read around there are plenty of people that have messed with trying to get an HD 7870 to work with an 5800K APU for example and come to the same conclusion as AMD. Why hobble the powerful card to get comparably marginal performance from the IGPU? I understand wanting to use it since it's there but the way the software and hardware are built right now, it's not worth the worry.
Yes but do not shut the IGPU off for Opencl workloads, while the higher end descrete GPU crunches graphics, The one thing AMD, and Nvidia have that can give them leverage, against Intel x86 CPU might, is using the IGPU as an extra processing resource (GPGPU) for gaming physics/ray tracing boost! Read up on Lucid mvp technology, and tell me if you think this offers a solution to the problem!
AMD Like INTEL, both, if given the chance, will slow CPU/APU technological improvements if there is insufficient competition in the market place to fore them to move forward! Just look at AMD VS NIVIDA in the descrete GPU market!
You're con-fusing AMD (desperately trying to stay in the processor race) with Intel (800 lb. gorilla cash cow milking it's lead).
AMD's marketing does not drive this process, the step by step design and engineering learning process and system evolution leading up to a full HSA implementation does.
AMD would love nothing more than to CURRENTLY have a full array of HSA APU processors on the market able to additively couple with it's full array of current GPU boards.
In short, AMD flat out cannot afford to leave performance advantages on the table to 'milk the consumer'. It has never been in that position. That is what Intel routinely does.
AMD is not in the x86 race on the high end, Intel won, and AMD said forget the high end, but AMD can and does still compete with Intel on the low power Mobile x86 market, and AMD integrated GPU IP, EATS Intel's IGPU IP for lunch! AMD could easily use its better GPU IP to put Intel Haswell/Broadwell GPU IP in the rear view mirrior, for a few years, at least! Why do you thik AMD's lack of progress with AMD's IGPUs vs Intel's IGPUs has a back and forth feel to it, when AMD could, if they so desired, Blow Intel's IGPU's so completely out of the water, and be done with it!
Oh And the real con- here is anyone trying to paint AMD as the Underdog, and Intel As The Overdog, the truth is both AMD and Intel are both just plain Dogs, and the consumer wins when they are fighting each other for survival! I hope APPLE takes ARM technology and soups it up and combines it with an equally souped up IGPU, to compete with AMD and Intel's mobile offerings, Apple has a wad-o-cash, and has allready shown it can take the ARM instruction set, and pair it with some GPU IP and go to market with it! Apple is another DOG with deep pockets, the more dogs in the competition, the more the consumer becomes winner!
Right now there really isn't an AMD Intel fight. Intel could finish crushing AMD and put it out of business but it doesn't want to because if it did then it might become a monopoly and get attacked as such the way MS, Google, and others have been attacked. Much cheaper to allow AMD just enough room to survive but not enough room to prosper.
So what would you do Josh? I was going to upgrade the video cards (HD4850 512mb Crossfired) in my 12yr old daughters computer, she plays Minecraft, TF2, Sims 3 and L4D2, to a HD7770 because they are under a 100 bucks or should I just dump the system and build her one off the A10-6800K with no discrete card.
Current System specs:
Antec 300 Case
Asus P5K-E WIFI-AP Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 3.4 Processor
Corsair Dominator CM2X1024-8500C5D2GB 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2 8500 1066MHZ DDR2 Memory X 2
Hittachi-LG HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH20NS15 Optical Drive
Maxtor MaXLine 7H500F0 500GB Hard Drive
Asus EAH4850/TOP/HTDI/512M HD4850 512MB DDR3 in Crossfire
Antec TruePower New TP-750 750 Watt Power Supply
This system puts out way too much heat and I bet draws too much power for its performance benefits.
If you are worried about heat, power, and age then yes... upgrade and a 6800K will be a great replacement that will enable her to play those games without issue.
That being said, a Q6700 at 3.4 GHz is still a really fast processor. It likely is slower overall than the 6800K, but it is still fast. Getting a $100 card will provide quite a few more years out of it, plus cut down on heat because the old 4800 series could really push it out. For the price though, you might want to consider the 7790... could get some really nice mileage out of that combination.
I'd just buy one 7790 and be done with it. :)
It's a very good processor, especially overclocked, but i understand if your rig gets warm. Though it's more due to teh graphics cards than the cpu.
QUESTION: Could I use the A10 GPU to run one 1440p monitor with an additional 7xxx series GPU to run another 1440p monitor?
Or would the discrete 7xxx GPU take over both monitors with the APU disabled???
I guess I will have to check. I am not sure, but I believe that when a standalone card which is not a 6670 and below is inserted it disables the GPU portion of the APU. If not, then I believe Win7 does support multiple, non-identical graphics adapters as long as they utilize the same drivers.
For building a low end system that does minor gaming, if we pared the Intel low end Pentium G2020 with a 100$ to 150$ graphics card would we get a better gaming performance?
Or putting the question another way if we put a G2020 or a Core I3 what graphics card we would have to buy to have the same gaming performance?
I believe a G2020 is actually going to be far slower than Richland in both CPU and GPU performance. A person would have to buy around a $75 card to match the graphics performance of the A10 6800K in most instances. If you were dead set on buying the cheapest, decent processor and adding a $150 graphics card... then that will still make a great gaming machine anymore. The FX-6350 is around $139 (you might be able to find the FX-6300 for cheaper) and seems like a nice combination of performance, thermals, and price. There are also plenty of i3s in the $100 to $175 range that will perform well.
As for graphics, I wouldn't go with anything less HD 7790 anymore. That and the GTX 650 Ti Boost seem pretty solid.
This is a very good review.
By the way, I am a fan of pcper.com.
Rly nice CPU.
I'd build a new pc around it and give my old Q6600 to a friend.
Wow im impressed, these little apus can score close to what my old 5970 did in 3dmark????
And people complain about AMD?????
i think in-light of recent time intel CPU's heat & OC fails
its a good time for AMD pick themselves up & start fight intel again.
Yeah, it seems like Intel is so comfortable in their lead, that they aren't pushing things in terms of enthusiast level products. How long has Sandy Bridge E been out? Still any sign of Ivy Bridge E? Also, Intel is really pushing into mobile and they probably think power desktop computing is dead. Hard to say where exactly that will go, but I hope power desktop computing isn't becoming a niche market (even though it sorta is...).
Can we have a windows 7 aéro test screen pleaz
Cause the A10-5800k has 6.9 aéro and 6.9 3D in windows 7 and I whant to know if the A10 6800k has better performance (win7 test) with 2133 memory
good read Josh, AMD needs to make a good solid APU for the desktops that utilizes AMD latest 7000 series graphic cards. Maybe HSA is a better way to move data around faster, we will have to see when it comes out. Hope AMD does not disappoint! I'm thinking of getting an APU set up!
Hi, i feel that i saw you visited my web site thus i came
to go back the favor?.I am trying to to find issues to enhance my web site!I guess its good enough to use

Difference between revisions of "Splashy"
m (→Installation)
|Line 11:
|Line 11:
# Grab
# Grab [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27916 splashy-full] AUR .
Revision as of 11:38, 11 August 2011
Splashy is a userspace implementation of a splash screen for Linux systems. It provides a graphical environment during system boot using the Linux framebuffer layer via directfb.
Please see this post on the Arch Linux forum for a repo you can add with working splashy packages. Splashy in AUR also works (see below).
- Grab splashy-full from the AUR. Instructions on installing packages from the AUR are available here.
Uvesafb Framebuffer (Preferred)
It is recommended to use Uvesafb if your hardware supports it (unless your hardware also supports KMS, see below). This allows you to use the exact native resolution of your monitor. It also allows you a widescreen boot splash.
- Follow the instructions on the Uvesafb page to install and configure.
- Add
quiet splashto your kernel command line in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
kernel (hd0,6)/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda6 ro quiet splash
Default Framebuffer
You can also use the default kernel framebuffer if your hardware does not support Uvesafb.
- Find the kernel framebuffer mode number closest as possible to your monitor.
- Add
quiet vga=mode_number splashto your kernel command line in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
kernel (hd0,6)/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda6 ro quiet vga=791 splash
Kernel Mode Setting
If you have a chipset that supports kernel mode setting (KMS), this is preferable to using Uvesafb. Note that when KMS is enabled you should always disable Uvesafb, as well as any "vga=" and "video=" options in your bootloader as these will conflict with the native resolution enabled by KMS. You still have to add the
quiet splash options in your grub config file.
Other Configuration Files
SPLASH="splashy" in /etc/rc.conf, e.g.:
Remember to rebuild the initramfs image whenever Splashy's config changes. (E.g. Splashy theme was changed.) Install any themes before running this to prevent form having to do this twice!
- Add
splashyat the end of the HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, e.g.:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide sata filesystems ... splashy"
- Rebuild initramfs image
# mkinitcpio -p <kernel name>E.g.
# mkinitcpio -p kernel26
Don't forget to rebuild the initramfs image after upgrading Splashy.
You can install splashy-themes in AUR to get a nice splashy theme. After installing, look at the available themes like so:
$ ls /usr/share/splashy/themes
The folder name is the theme name. Now edit /etc/splashy/config.xml and change the theme name to the one you want. Note that themes ending in 43 are 4:3 aspect ratio, and the others are widescreen. Try "archlinux-simplyblack" as a good first theme, e.g.:
After you set your theme (and any time you change your theme) you will need to again run
# mkinitcpio -p kernel26
Known Problems
- Splashy doesn't terminate or automatically switch to verbose mode if an error occurs or when an init script fails. No longer true with splashy-full package.
- Something goes "terribly wrong" when a forced filesystem check commences while Splashy is running. For some unknown reason (yet), the system reboots itself after the fsck.
- X can show artefacts on the top of the screen, if splashy is activated during bootup.
- Adding
<autoverboseonerror>no</autoverboseonerror>in /etc/splashy/config.xml may solve problems when booting in battery mode on laptops
- If you get a lot of directfb errors, change "1.2" to "1.4" in /lib/initcpio/install/splashy
- If you get an error with libjpeg, try installing libjpeg6
- If you use gsplashy and a theme does not appear on the list, make sure that config.xml in the folder of the theme is named theme.xml instead
- If you get a libz.so.1 error, try either symlinking /lib/libz.so.1 to /usr/lib/libz.so.1 or changing /lib/libz.so.1 to /usr/libz.so.1 in /lib/initcpio/install/splashy
- If you are using Gnome, and are starting GDM as a daemon, Splashy causes Gnome to not be able to properly shutdown/reboot. To fix this issue, remove GDM as a daemon from /etc/rc.conf, and set up GDM with the /etc/inittab file. This could possibly work with other display managers, but I can only confirm that this works with GDM.

Male? Military Registration Required.
The federal government requires all males to register for selective service. If you have not done so, you can register through the FAFSA. Only males are required to register. Whether a person is male or female is a matter for medical determination. If you question whether or not you need to register, call the Selective Service at 847-688-6888 for a Status Information Letter.
If you have been notified that you need to provide proof of registering for Selective Service, please review the appropriate steps below:
Male Between 18 and 25
Persons in this group are required to be registered with Selective Service in order to be eligible for federal student aid. If you have already done so, you must submit a copy of your Selective Service registration card to the Financial Aid Office.
If you have not yet registered, you may either:
a) Login into to FAFSA on the web (www.fafsa.gov) and correct your FAFSA checking the "register me" indicator for question #22. The federal processor will forward your information to Selective Service for registration.
b) Register yourself electronically at www.sss.gov and forward your confirmation to the Financial Aid Office.
c) Complete a Selective Service registration form, available at your local Post Office, and submit a copy of your registration card to the Financial Aid Office when received.
Your financial aid file can not be processed further until this documentation is received.

LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Peace talks on ending the Syrian civil war should take the plight of Syrian children as their top priority, Save the Children and other leading humanitarian agencies said on Tuesday in an open letter to the meeting's participants.
Among the letter's 14 signatories are United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, International Rescue Committee President David Miliband, U.N. Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs Valerie Amos and UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake.
"Every day in Syria, children are experiencing the brutality of war: injury, death and displacement. Scandalously, hundreds of thousands are trapped in besieged or hard-to-reach areas and receiving little or no aid," said Roger Hearn, Save the Children regional director for the Middle East. "This tragedy is man-made, and it is within the power of the warring parties to stop it."
Also known as Geneva II, the negotiations between Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and opposition figures to try to end the three-year-old war are due to start on Wednesday in the Swiss town of Montreux, following several days of confusion and argument over who will attend.
More than 11,000 children have died in the conflict, 71 percent of them killed indiscriminately by explosive weapons used in towns and cities, Save the Children said.
The United Nations puts the overall death toll in Syria at more than 100,000. Children also make up a large part of the 4.25 million people forced to abandon their homes as a result of the war, and some 2 million Syrian children have had to drop out of school, according to the United Nations.
The charity called on all Geneva II participants and parties to commit to three points:
1. Allow life-saving aid to reach children inside Syria
2. Protect schools and health facilities
3. Prevent the use of explosive weapons in populated areas

Molten Chocolate Cake
I love molten chocolate cakes and have been searching for a good recipe for a while. Recently I bought the New Baking Book by Better Homes and Gardens and was happy to find the perfect recipe for the molten chocolate cake. These are baked in individual cups and hence easy to serve. I followed the recipe as is, but served it with whipped cream instead of the recommended Mocha Cream. Next time I will try it with the Mocha Cream. This will be my second entry for the JFI-Chocolate event.
Butter - 3/4 cup
Semisweet chocolate (chopped) - 6 ounces
Eggs - 3
Egg yolks - 3
Powdered sugar (sifted) - 1/3 cup
Vanilla - 1.5 tsp
All purpose floor - 1/4 cup
Unsweetened cocoa powder - 2 tbsp
Whipped cream - for garnishing
In a heavy saucepan combine butter and chocolate and melt over low heat, stirring continuously. Remove from heat and let it cool. Grease six 1-cup souffle dishes or ramekins. Coat with granulated sugar. Beat eggs, egg yolks, powdered sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer on high speed about 5 minutes. Beat in chocolate mixture in medium speed. Sift flour and cocoa over chocolate mixture, beat on low speed just until blended. Spoon into prepared dishes. Place the dishes in a larger baking pan. Bake in a 400F oven 12 to 14 minutes or until cake rise slightly and feel firm at edges and softer in the center when pressed gently. Cool in dishes for 5 minutes. Invert with pot holders onto plate and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm with a dollop of whipping cream on top.
Since I had to serve these to guests I couldn't cut them to show the molten center. Will upload another picture with the molten center soon.
These can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to to 4 hours or frozen for a week.
Also remember to remove them from the oven when the centre looks half finished. I let the first batch cook for a little longer and did not get the molten effect.

After enthralling the techies at Google last week, Lady Gaga has given her geek fans another reason to smile. In a press conference this Monday, the Grammy award-winning singer confessed that she is an avid fan of Ubuntu, the Linux-based operating system. Since then, Ubuntu has seen a massive surge in its popularity; particularly among teenagers.
When asked if she was a PC or a Mac, the ultra glamorous pop star replied "Well you know, I'm neither into PCs or Macs, first of all. Secondly, I don't like either of them; it's like everybody uses them these days. I'm more into this thing called Ubuntu. Two months ago, a buddy of mine told me to use it to avoid getting hacked, and I've loved it since then. It's really fun to use!"
To another reporter asking if there was any particular reason for choosing Ubuntu, she responded, "I love Ubuntu because it's unique, it's so like me and my little monsters – we're different, but we're awesome!". Afterwards, when asked about her thoughts on the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) philosophy, she said "It's great when things are free. I think it kinda really helps people who can't buy computers on their own.. I'd love to see Apple doing something like that … they make such great products but not everyone can buy them".
After this statement by Lady Gaga, a website has claimed that Ubuntu's desktop market share has shot up from 1 percent to 7 percent in just two days. Furthermore, due to a huge rise in traffic, Ubuntu's website suffered a downtime of about 8 hours on Tuesday. Ubuntu fans and developers are already enjoying this 'viral' popularity. "This is a giant leap for the Linux community, and we'll always be grateful to Lady Gaga for that", said an overjoyed Jane Silber, who is the current CEO of Canonical.

With a new Consumerism chapter, enhanced art and photos, and timely updates, this Second Edition of Nutrition and You personalizes nutrition–helping you make healthy nutrition choices and encouraging you to become an informed consumer of nutrition information.
Throughout, each vitamin and mineral are introduced in self-contained spreads, called Visual Summary Tables, that help you learn to identify the key aspects of each nutrient at a glance. You're encouraged to relate the science of nutrition to your own dietary habits, helping you to separate fact from fiction and to distinguish high-quality nutrient sources from those of lesser quality. After reading this book, you'll know to think critically about information sources and the claims made in the popular press and online.
The MyPlate Edition features a write-to-fit update so that you have the latest nutrition information right within your book. New information includes the new MyPlate graphic (which replaces the former MyPyramid), the 2010 Guidelines, and the new Dietary Reference Intakes.
This package consists of:
- MyNutritionLab with MyDietAnalysis with Pearson eText Access Code Card for Nutrition and You, MyPlate Edition, Second Edition
