An extensive manhunt continued Sunday as Los Angeles officials announced a $1-million reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Christopher Jordan Dorner, the former LAPD officer wanted in the killings of three people.
"We will not tolerate this reign of terror," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said Sunday at an afternoon news conference at LAPD headquarters. "Our dedication to catching this killer is steadfast. This search is not a matter of 'if.' It's a matter of 'when.' And I want Christopher Dorner to know that."
Police Chief Charlie Beck said his wife came up with the idea for a massive reward on Saturday and that it was thought to be the largest ever offered locally. Within 24 hours, the $1 million was raised from more than two dozen donors including local governments and police departments, civic organizations, businesses and individuals.
"It was amazingly, amazingly easy," Beck said. "When we reached out to members of this community, they gave immediately."
The reason for such a large reward, the chief said, was "not about capturing a fleeing suspect, but about preventing another crime -- likely another murder."

Home to over a million plants and more than five thousand different species from around the world, the iconic "biomes" (gigantic greenhouses) at the Eden Project are the focus of the UK's premier green attraction. Built on the site of a former clay quarry, the Rainforest Biome houses plants from tropical islands, Malaysia, West Africa and South America, while the smaller biome displays citrus, olives, herbs and vines from the Mediterranean, the rich variety of proteas and aloes from southern Africa, drifts of colourful Californian poppies and lupins, and shrubs of the chaparral. Visitors are guided along the walkways by species labels and explanatory notes that describe how the plants are used for medicine, food and biofuel, and how a vision of a sustainable future is pinned to their survival.
Each year over a million people visit the Eden Project, many of whom arrive by bike, bus or train. It is by far the most successful visitor attraction in the southwest of England, largely thanks to the vision of chief executive Tim Smit (the man behind the Lost Gardens of Heligan) and also the ideas and labour of over five hundred staff, most of whom come from the local area.
On most days throughout the summer the Eden Project hosts attractions and events including theatre, workshops, art displays, gardening talks, children's events and music festivals. All the facilities are managed with sustainability in mind. The food in the cafés is local and organic; food waste is composted and used in the gardens; rainwater is harvested and used to irrigate the plants and flush the loos; and you get a discount if you arrive on foot or by bicycle.
The nearest train station is St Austell, from where there's a shuttle bus to the Eden Project. Admission is free for children under 15. www.edenproject.com; +44 (0) 1726 811 911. Green places to stay nearby include Cornish Tipi Holidays and Cornish Yurt Holidays, Higher Lank Farm and Trelowarren.

The man who accused Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash of having sex with him when he was a teen now says it isn't so.
The man is now saying his sexual relationship with Clash was adult and consensual.
In response to the statement on Tuesday afternoon, Clash issued a statement of his own, saying he is "relieved that this painful allegation has been put to rest".
The man, who has not identified himself, released his statement through the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, law firm of Andreozzi & Associates.
On Monday, Sesame Workshop said Clash had taken a leave of absence from Sesame Street after allegations came to light that he had had a relationship with a 16-year-old. Clash denied the charges from the man, who is now in his early 20s.

Dior's Addict Fluid Stick ($35) is a new range of liquid lipstick that, at first, I tried very hard to ignore. I was under a mis-impression that the formula was nice but I was unsure whether any of the colors would work. I was so, so wrong. After an hour at a local counter, I think the only problem with this range is that nearly all of the colors work on a wide variety of skin tones. Who can get just one? I'm starting my collection with Dior Fluid Stick in Pandore, a lovely pink-red. Although I know that I'll be branching out very soon to get several more. Pandore is a rich, bright, gorgeous red that can be worked into any season. Anyone that loves neutral makeup as much as I do will find that Pandore offers a perfect touch of brightening color that is always appropriate. Here is the doe foot applicator, which is quite easy to use: I'll give the bottom line early (spoiler alert!)–Dior Addict Fluid Sticks are a gorgeous, gorgeous formula. I need at least two more–a pink and a nude. Maybe a deep color as well. The quality is beautiful, and these look amazing on. Liz prefers to wear this more sheerly, and I prefer to load up the doe-foot for a full force red. Here's Liz's lighter touch with Dior Pandore: And a quick, rich swatch…. Overall, we're loving Dior Pandore. And I'm loving this new formula. Below, Liz is wearing Dior Fluid Stick in Pandore, Nars Lost Coast eyeshadow duo, Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet Foundation in #20, and Nars Olympia Contour Blush.
Dior Addict Fluid Sticks are available at Nordstrom.com, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Macy's.

Before any other frozen beverage such as the: slurpee or smoothie there was the milkshake. The earliest printed reference to the milkshake was in 1885, but the drink contained whiskey. Furthermore it was served as a health tonic as well as a delicious cold treat.
Ivar "Pop" Coulson is often credited as the inventor of the milkshake. In 1922 he added ice cream to the traditional malted milk and the milkshake was born. From there it's popularity has skyrocketed and it continues to soar with new variations based on this same formula.
For this variation on the milkshake I decided to go back to the milkshakes roots and create an alcoholic version.
Young's Double Chocolate Milkshake
8oz chocolate stout (Youngs Double Chocolate)
1.5oz rum (Brugal Anejo)
.5oz port (Noval Black)
2 dashes chocolate bitters
2 scoops vanilla ice cream (Häagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean)
Combine all the ingredients an blend until smooth. Pour into a chilled pint glass or whatever you have on hand and enjoy
The beer really shines in this drink. The chocolate and maltiness of the beer combine well with the creaminess if the ice cream. The rum gives a little extra backbone to the drink with the port adding a touch of fruitiness on very the backend leading to a dry slightly bitter finish. You can't go wrong with this. Try it and let me know what you think.
Have you ever tried Young's Double Chocolate Stout? What's your favorite milkshake.

What should my ohm readings be with the resistor in place at room temp?
I used a multimeter to determine the level of resistance on my oven probe at room temperature. Then I used a resistor which had a very similar resistance. You are probably getting the error because you have picked a resistor which is outside of what the oven circuit thinks is an acceptable range.
I believe the function of the mod is all about proper resistance
So I messed with my oven for just over 4 hours tonight and discovered the following, which compared to everyone's results here is the exact opposite!My temp probe at room temp measured right at 1050 ohms. Good so far. I then started to add various resistors to one of the leads which lead to the ohm output increasing (not decreasing as I was expecting). With a 100ohm resistor, the oven was now tricked into thinking it was hotter than it actually was. Does make sense? Also tried this with a 200ohm and 470ohm resistor. The 470ohm caused an error, the 200ohm resistor resulted in even cooler oven temps at the same setting. I remember seeing that the room temp ohm reading of 1050 or so increased to almost 1500 ohms with the 470 ohm resistor. Shouldn't this decrease?Help
I used a multimeter to determine the level of resistance on my oven probe at room temperature. Then I used a resistor which had a very similar resistance.
This is INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS and I cant believe anyone would even consider doing it. The oven will never shut off no matter how hot it gets at least not until it has a meltdown.
Let me start by saying that doing this to your oven is completely irresponsible particularly if you dont know what you are doing.ohm is a measure of resistance. Resistors in a series are additive (i.e. Rtotal = R1 + R2 +
). When you added the 470 ohm resistor in a SERIES with the probe measuring 1050 ohm, you should expect something near 1500 ohms (470+1050=1520). On the other hand, you calculate the resistance of a circuit with resistors in parallel as Rtotal = 1/(1/R1 + 1/R2 +
) As you can see, adding resistors in a series increases the circuit resistance while adding them in parallel decreases the resistance or leaves it unchanged. And with only two resistors in parallel, your maximum resistance is that of the lowest ohm value resistor. It doesnt matter how high the other is. This is important as you will see below.There are a couple different things happening in the posts above. Lespaul20 tricked the oven by adding a resistor in PARALLEL. When he did this, the resistance of the circuit was lower than the oven expected at any given temperature, so the oven will always get hotter than it thinks it is (it has to get hotten than it expects to hit a certain resistance because the resistor added in parallel is artificially lowering the resistance of the circuit). In his case, the lower the ohm value of the resistor added, the hotter the oven is going to get at any given temperature setting. Using dimarems temperature/resistance data in the link at the top of Lespaul20s post above, his oven expects 2516 ohms at 800F. However, when a 10K ohm resister is added in parallel, the resistance drops to 2010 ohm, and the oven only thinks its about 535F. If you know the resistance profile of your oven probe, you can match it with an appropriate resistor and calculate the oven temp based on the temperature setting.What Tannerwooden did may have been very different.In his mod, it sounds like he is bypassing the probe and instead using a resistor with a resistance similar to the probe to make the oven think that nothing is happening. Since resistance will not increase with temperature, he is tricking the oven into thinking it is at room temperature no matter how hot it gets. This is INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS and I cant believe anyone would even consider doing it. The oven will never shut off no matter how hot it gets at least not until it has a meltdown. Even if I misinterpreted what he wrote and what he actually did was add a resistor of similar resistance to the probe in parallel, you get to the exact same place, and it is a perfect example of why you should not do these things especially if you dont know what you are doing. Say your room temperature probe resistance is 1050 ohm at room temperature and you add a 1000 ohm resistor in parallel, as I noted above, thats the highest resistance the circuit will ever be no matter how high the resistance on the probe gets (remember, the oven thinks resistance goes up as it gets hotter). Like bypassing the probe, the oven will never shut down no matter how hot it gets. Had his son not woken up, his house very well may have burned down.Back to your last issue, as you added resistors in series, your oven sensed ever higher resistance and thought it was hotter than it actually was resulting in the lower temps at the same setting as you increased added resistance. The higher the ohm value of the resistor you added in series, the hotter the oven thought it was and the cooler is shut down at.Dont do this. Its not smart.
There's a reason why commercial equipment is made the way it is requiring spacing from wooden cabinets/walls, stronger, bigger exhaust fans, insulation etc. etc.........
I really appreciate all of your input. I feel comfortable enough continue to attempt this. What I guess I don't understand is adding the resistor in parallel vs series. What I did was obviously in series and I need to add in parallel.I've attached a diagram of what I essentially did. Could someone simply explain where the resistor needs to be added to be in parallel?Thanks again. I understand the risks and again, feel comfortable doing this project.

SNL: Will Ferrell Wishes His Mom a Happy Mother's Day
Will Ferrell returned to Saturday Night Live last night for hosting duties and during his opening monologue, he noted that it was going to be Mother's Day in twenty minutes. Never one to avoid any possible gag, Ferrell did the appropriate thing: he brought his own mother out on stage.
Ferrell informs his mother that every time he's said he loved her, he was being fed lines by his writers and wants to use this opportunity to speak from the heart for the first time. The result is classic Ferrell: weird, slightly random and a little gross. Mrs. Ferrell does everything in her power to act shocked and horrified, but in true SNL tradition, she frequently breaks character to laugh at her son's antics.
In a nice touch, the monologue ends on a genuinely sweet note, a true human moment from a comic who specializes in playing absurd, larger-than-life characters. Hey…even Ron Burgundy has a mom, guys. And he loves her, too!
If you're a mom and you're reading this, happy Mother's Day! If you're not a mom and you're reading this, go call your mom. Right now. Go.

The No. 12 Creighton men's soccer team edged Drake 3-2 in double overtime in a Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Men's Soccer Championship semifinal hosted by Bradley in Peoria, Ill., Friday afternoon.
Creighton freshman Vincent Keller scored his second goal of the season in the 107th minute to give the Bluejays a come-from-behind victory. Sophomore Eric Miller and senior Brent Kallman assisted on the winning score.
With the win the Jays improved to 14-3-2 on the season while Drake dropped to 6-11-4 after the loss. Creighton will face the second seed SIU Edwardsville in the conference final match Sunday at 1 p.m. CU is seeking its 13th MVC Tournament title on Sunday.
In the first half, Creighton missed a chance at a goal in the 28th minute after a shot by junior Sean Kim got past DU goalie Rich Gallagher but the Bulldogs made a team save at the line to keep the game scoreless.
The Bulldogs got on the scoreboard first in the 33rd minute as Brian Grand scored his second goal of the season from the left side to beat CU goalkeeper Jeff Gal and give Drake a 1-0 lead.
Creighton went into the locker rooms down for just the third time of the season carrying a 1-1 record in the previous two instances.
After the break the reigning MVC Player of the Year and current MVC Freshman of the Year paired up to knot the game at 1-1 for Creighton. Senior Jose Gomez blasted a shot past Gallagher on a feed from freshman Timo Pitter in the 56th minute.
The goal was the fifth of the year for Gomez and the third helper of the season for Pitter.
Just 34 seconds later, Creighton took a 2-1 lead in the 57th minute. Miller scored his first career goal off of a header. Sophomore Jose Ribas recorded his sixth assist of the year on the score.
However the Jays' lead did not last long as Drake's Michael Thaden knotted the score at 2-2 in the 60th minute.
It took just over 47 minutes to decide the match in the 107th minute when Keller scored his first career game-winner to give Creighton the 3-2 victory.
CU freshman goalkeeper Jeff Gal improved his record to 10-0 on the year with the win.
Creighton will face SIUE in the MVC Tournament final on Sunday at 1 p.m. The match will be broadcast live on Fox Sports Net, including Fox Sports Midwest.

Valdosta State University: Freedom of Expression on Campus Limited to Unconstitutional Free Speech Zone
Category: Cases, Free Speech
Schools: Valdosta State University
Valdosta State University (VSU) President Patrick J. Schloss announced that VSU would rescind its unconstitutional policy that had restricted campus speech to a "free speech zone," a move that prompted FIRE to remove VSU from its Red Alert list. VSU's previous policy restricted the free expression of all "persons wishing to speak on campus" to one small stage, the use of which was restricted to two non-consecutive hours per day-and only on weekdays. FIRE wrote former VSU President Ronald Zaccari to inform him that VSU "cannot lawfully quarantine free expression to just one area of the school's 168-acre campus." FIRE then wrote two additional letters to VSU, produced a short film, and bought an advertisement in the 2009 edition of U.S. News & World Report's America's Best Colleges issue, noting its placement on the Red Alert list. President Schloss announced in a letter to FIRE that VSU's General Public Forum Venue policy had been changed to comply with the First Amendment.

VSU Student Newspaper Notes University's Removal from Red Alert List
September 18, 2008
The Spectator, Valdosta State University's (VSU's) student newspaper, ran an article yesterday about FIRE's victory at VSU after VSU's new president, Patrick Schloss, replaced the university's "Free Expression Area" policy with a "General Public Forum Venue" policy. The old policy was awarded the dubious distinction of FIRE's March 2008 Speech Code of the Month for, on its face, relegating speech to a tiny stage on the entire VSU campus for only two hours on weekdays. VSU's free speech zone came to FIRE's attention after former VSU president Ronald Zaccari expelled student Hayden Barnes for posting a collage on Facebook.com criticizing […]» Read More

Sierra Club Fails Valdosta State for Free Speech Zone
September 3, 2008
The Sierra Club has released its second annual list of "cool schools" that promote environmental initiatives on their campuses. As a counterpoint, the Sierra Club also includes a list of schools that conspicuously fail to encourage—or even inhibit—environmental initiatives. And, interestingly enough, who should we find on that latter list but one of FIRE's Red Alert schools, the infamous Valdosta State University?

At Valdosta State, New Leadership or More of the Same?
August 21, 2008
As dedicated Torch readers will remember, Ronald Zaccari, Valdosta State University's former President, retired early this summer after a disastrous last year in office during which he expelled former VSU student Hayden Barnes for engaging in protected political expression. Indeed, Zaccari left VSU with his legacy in tatters, having been named one of our nation's "most egregious and ridiculous censors" by the Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression and remains the subject of a federal civil rights lawsuit brought by Barnes. So it was with real hope that FIRE wrote to VSU Vice President for Academic Affairs […]» Read More
For Olympic Free Speech Zones, China Takes Page From American Universities
July 24, 2008
As the start of the Beijing Games draws near―and with questions remaining about how Communist Party officials will address public dissent and protest―I was struck by this paragraph from an article in The New York Times this morning: The Chinese government will permit public protests inside three designated city parks during next month's Olympic Games, but demonstrators must first obtain permits from the local police and also abide by Chinese laws that usually make it nearly impossible to legally picket over politically charged issues.

It's taken nearly eight months, but FIRE has finally received a response from Valdosta State University (VSU) regarding its blatantly unconstitutional free speech zone. We first wrote (now former) VSU President Ronald M. Zaccari regarding his university's "Free Expression Area" policy in November of last year. Our letter detailed the myriad problems with the school's policy, which restricts the free expression of VSU's 11,000 students to an impossibly small stage for just two hours per day, as well as requiring reservations up to 48 hours in advance.

The University System of Georgia is surveying students to find out what they think about various expression-related issues on the system's campuses, including free speech zones. The University System of Georgia is currently home to one of the worst free speech zone policies on record—so bad, in fact, that FIRE named Valdosta State University's free speech zone our March 2008 Speech Code of the Month.

VALDOSTA, Ga., March 3, 2008—In response to Valdosta State University's (VSU's) unconstitutional free speech zone policy, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) released a short film today explaining VSU's continued disregard for its students' rights and chronicling FIRE's recent victory on behalf of a VSU student expelled for engaging in a peaceful protest. "VSU has more than 11,000 students, yet its policy limits free speech to just one percent of campus. To make matters worse, students may only use the free speech zone for two hours a day, and have to reserve it two full days in advance. […]» Read More
Valdosta State: Silence on Free Speech Zone
January 4, 2008
Here at FIRE, we've been checking the mail twice a day, making sure our phone lines are open and sending out test faxes, but everything seems to be in working order. That means there's absolutely no excuse for Valdosta State University's (VSU's) continuing silence regarding our concerns about the school's blatantly unconstitutional free speech zone. In our November 30 letter to VSU President Ronald M. Zaccari, we outlined the extensive constitutional infirmities contained in VSU's "Free Expression Area Guidelines," which limit student expression to a tiny portion of VSU's campus for just two hours a day. Specifically, FIRE wrote: VSU's […]» Read More
In Letter to Valdosta State, FIRE Demands End to Free Speech Zone
December 3, 2007
Hot on the heels of awarding Valdosta State University (VSU) the ignominious "honor" of a place on FIRE's Red Alert list, FIRE wrote VSU President Ronald M. Zaccari last Friday to demand an end to the school's unconstitutional free speech zone. While VSU joined Tufts University and Johns Hopkins University on the Red Alert list due to the school's expulsion of student T. Hayden Barnes for engaging in protected speech, the school's free speech zone provides still further justification for its ignominy, as I discussed on The Torch a few weeks ago. In our letter, FIRE reminds soon-to-retire President Zaccari […]» Read More
Red Alert: Valdosta State University
November 27, 2007
Upon retiring next June, Valdosta State University (VSU) President Ronald M. Zaccari can now add another achievement to his shameful legacy as head of Valdosta State, namely VSU's addition to FIRE's Red Alert list, where the university joins Johns Hopkins University and Tufts University as the "worst of the worst" when it comes to violations of student rights on campus. Zaccari can't say he didn't see it coming. When expelling student T. Hayden Barnes solely for protesting the proposed construction of two parking garages on campus at the cost of $30 million in student fees, Zaccari must have realized that […]» Read More
Adding Insult to Injury: Valdosta State's Shameful Free Speech Zone
November 19, 2007
As we noted last week, soon-to-be-retired Valdosta State University (VSU) President Ronald M. Zaccari will leave behind an appalling legacy with respect to liberty on campus. That's mainly because Zaccari's expulsion of student T. Hayden Barnes for peacefully protesting Zaccari's plan to build $30 million parking garages on campus easily ranks as one of the most egregious constitutional violations FIRE has ever seen. But unfortunately for current VSU students, when it comes to protecting constitutional rights, Zaccari's negligence isn't confined solely to the Barnes expulsion. Under President Zaccari, VSU maintains a blatantly unconstitutional "free speech zone"—a perhaps unsurprising discovery, considering […]» Read More

Vang Veng generally is a stopover either to or from Luang Prabang. Basically, its a backpacker/drug haven, in the middle of a relatively unspoilt Country. Backpackers outnumber the locals, Pizza and other western food is available, and it has cheap drugs and beer. No one bothered much with the local people. Last time I was there, Tourists outnumbered locals by 10-1, you couldn´t find Lao food, and most people were spaced out. If, you are a drug Tourist go, if you appreciate the real beauty of Laos avoid the place like the plague.

Two Year Anniversary
The whole two years worth of postings have been just on one line, "Lee" which is my father's paternal line. About the time I think all my information is posted, I come across something else or think of something. It feels so good to have this information out there for all to use an enjoy. Here is a summary of the past postings: (not quite in order,but the people are in order)
*Thomas Henry Lee (Henry Lee-Thomas)
Pedigree Chart
Military Pictures, records, war memorial
Birth, Death, Burial, Photos, Death Articles
WWI photos

*John Lee & Sarah Ann Lever/Tysoe
Family Group Record
Birth Certificates
Children Birth Records
*John Lee & Eliza Jones

An Apple "iPad" has now entered the scene so finding its full potential as it applies to Family History is high on the priority list.

It was deep and so comfy, I didn't see any Oilers smash their sticks in frustration with how poorly they play video games online played, as the night before the 1500-meter final. If California prevails in this case but it does have a lot of shags out of blokes doing that.

Richard Griffiths dies aged 65
mr muggles Posts: 4,601Forum Member✭✭✭n-night Dickie!:):)x0
DavetheScot Posts: 16,623Forum Member✭✭He was one of these actors who just about everyone has seen in one of his roles, whether it be Pie in the Sky, Naked Gun, Withnail and I, Harry Potter, The History Boys or one of the many other roles he played.
A real loss.0
But unfortunately it's about par for the course if you have a very high BMI. My Father who was 19 stone died at 63 and my Uncle who was 22 stone died last week aged 70. Very few overweight older men live to 80 in good health (Marlon Brando being an exception).
Sorry, think I brought up the weight thing when someone mentioned that 65 was terribly young.
Having lost my Father and recently Uncle due to obesity it really strikes a chord with me (I have to constantly watch my own diet and can only consume around 1400 calories a day before I start to gain weight, bad genetics).
Richard Griffiths must have been in pretty poor health for a surgeon willing to operate with such a high BMI anyway
In fact my heart consultant has said that I'll probably live longer than my Father with my current 30 a day smoking habit at eleven and a half stone and six feet tall than if I got fat.0
AdelaideGirl Posts: 2,546Forum Member✭✭✭It's a valid point but my Dad who was a skinny man died at 70 from a heart condition. Weight's a factor but not the only one. There are surprisingly health over weight people and very unhealthy slender people.0
Betty Britain Posts: 13,721Forum MemberSad to hear of Richards sudden death... A fantastic actor with true comic ability that not many are naturally capable of0
Jimmy Connors Posts: 97,248Forum Member✭✭✭Such a loss. He was a great actor, and even more than that a great man.
RIP, Richard.0
Saltydog1955 Posts: 4,134Forum Member✭✭✭Sad news.
I remember him in a very funny sitcom with Frances de la Tour some years ago, but can't think of the name.
Interesting piece here about his early life. A tribute to the man that he could overcome such a dreadful childhood to become one of our best actors.
RIP Richard.0
Librarywitch Posts: 258Forum Member✭Not that it matters as his weight is no one else's business but Richard was overweight due to damage to his pituitary gland caused by being given radiation therapy as a child to make him put on weight as he was very underweight as a child. The damage meant it was extremely difficult to lose weight. He was apparently quite a light eater.
RIP Richard, thanks for creating some wonderful performances.0
DonnaVanessa Posts: 134Forum Member✭I was so sad to hear of Richard's passing - such a naturally gifted actor.
RIP Richard.0

In 2003, C-Tech became the first Romanian company to become involved in wind energy projects. It is believed Sinovel will supply 3MW turbines and services for the C-Tech SRL wind farm.
The deal is reportedly part of a 1.2GW supply deal between the two companies.
While continuing to expand domestic market share, Sinovel has exerted all efforts to tap the world markets. Due to a competitive domestic market and tightened industrial policies, Sinovel's net profits plunged 73% in 2011 and 87% in the first quarter of this year.
This is Sinovel's biggest contract in Europe by some distance, with its next largest being a 6MW deal in Sweden. By the end of 2011, Sinovel had 922.5MW overseas orders signed or confirmed.
Sinovel says it has set up overseas branches and offices to march into North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and other Asian areas. It has won orders from the United States, Brazil, Sweden, Turkey, India and South Africa.
Sinovel said its 1.5MW turbine has been connected to the grid and passed 240 hours pre-examination assessment in the United States.


text: 24 May 2012 Efficient GPGPU programming with OpenCL Today's graphics processors are highly programmable, massively parallel compute engines. In this role, they are commonly called general purpose graphics processing units, or GPGPUs. You can program them with the open and standard based OpenCL framework, distributing compute chores to CPUs, GPUs, and DSPs to optimise a system's overall performance. What makes GPGPU computing so enticing is the availability of extreme floating point performance in cost effective GPUs. AMD's top of the line GPU in the AMD Radeon™ HD 6970 desktop graphics card delivers 2.7 single precision TFLOPs (theoretical peak) at a retail cost of about $369. By leveraging economies of scale in the PC industry, GPUs continue to drive higher performance per watt and dollar every year. To benefit from these performance gains, embedded systems need to meet three more challenges: lower power consumption, open standards, and parallel algorithms. Low energy consumption In addition to excellent GFLOPs per dollar, GPGPU computing also delivers high performance per watt. Although the AMD Radeon HD 6970 card has a thermal design power (TDP) of 250W, many server based applications can handle that power to achieve more than 10GFLOPs/W. On the other hand, embedded applications typically have more modest thresholds for TDP. Embedded applications are faced with size, weight and power (SWaP) constraints. Portable ultrasound machines benefit from small size, yet demand high performance compute capabilities for real time imaging. GPGPU offers new compute capabilities within limited power budgets for telecom infrastructure. Many defence and aerospace applications (sonar, radar and video surveillance, for example) require high performance compute capabilities delivered in embedded form factors. To meet the growing demand for embedded GPGPU, the AMD Radeon E6760 embedded GPU delivers 16.5GFLOPs/W at a TDP of about 35W. At such a modest power consumption, the AMD Radeon E6760 GPU is suitable for all common embedded systems based on slot based rack mounts, such as PICMG 1.x, CompactPCI, VME, VPX, MicroTCA or AdvancedTCA. Efficient algorithms Achieving the performance gains available to embedded GPGPU will require the deployment of key algorithms as optimised kernels for specific GPU architectures. Key algorithms include solving systems of linear equations, stencil operations, matrix multiply, fast Fourier transforms, random number generation, data primitives (e.g., reduce, sum, partition or sort), and domain specific algorithms in image processing, such as edge detection, erosion and Sobel operations. The final challenge is parallel algorithm development. Some algorithms are 'embarrassingly' parallel and show almost an order of magnitude performance improvement over multicore CPU implementations. Other algorithms require a bit more effort to port to a massively parallel environment, but the results can be well worth it. Researchers have shown that, with careful algorithm design, execution of the single precision general matrix multiply routine (SGEMM) on an ATI Radeon HD 5870 GPU can achieve 73% of the GPU's theoretical single precision floating-point performance. With its high compute density and parallel nature, SGEMM is well suited for implementation on a GPGPU, especially for large matrices. Open standard The fact that there is potential for parallel programming has long been known. But early pioneers in GPGPU computing had no language that could access that compute power. Instead, they selected graphics operations in OpenGL that used the same math they needed and then copied the results from the frame buffer. Proprietary GPGPU languages, such as CUDA and Brook+, were a big improvement to ease of use at the expense of portability. That situation led to development of the OpenCL computing language, which ports across GPU architectures and between CPU and GPU components to provide a heterogeneous programming environment. It was created by an industry consortium, bringing together chip vendors, software companies and research organisations. First introduced in 2008, OpenCL enjoys wide industry support today. With continued industry adoption of the open standard, non proprietary OpenCL parallel programming language, heterogeneous computing is leveraging efficiency gains by enabling application developers to effectively partition serial tasks for execution on the CPU and parallel tasks on the GPU. As OpenCL has matured, it has become the API of choice for code that is portable across different hardware and also different operating systems. OpenCL In particular, the OpenCL language delivers more efficiency in the development of heterogeneous computing applications: it enables the application developer to effectively split serial tasks for execution on a CPU, putting parallel tasks onto a GPU, for instance. GPUs are extremely adept at parallel processing, especially at doing similar computations on large quantities of data (i.e., data parallel). Let's take a very simple example to illustrate the point — a simple element wise addition of two arrays, a and b, with the result written to another array, c. Instead of adding one pair of elements at a time, as happens in CPU code, we can use OpenCL to execute many additions in parallel on the GPU. The following table is a typical code snippet for performing the addition on a single core CPU, which looks very similar to the OpenCL kernel that will do the same thing on a GPU. The operation for each item i is called a work item. Conceptually, all work items in a kernel are executed in parallel — we cannot tell if work item i = x is physically executed before, at the same time or after another work item, i = y. (However, we do know that on GPUs, hundreds and even thousands of work items can be in the midst of execution at any time.) OpenCL provides a way of grouping batches of work items into work groups. In general, work items cannot synchronise or exchange data with each other, but work items belonging to the same work group can. This allows OpenCL kernels to be written that are more sophisticated than this example. For the sake of completeness, it should perhaps be mentioned that in addition to the code executed on the GPU, it is also necessary to write a host program to control and use the GPU. This host program will find and initialise the GPU(s), send data and the kernel code to the GPU, instruct the GPU to start execution and know when the results are ready and then read them back from the GPU. A number of companies offer in depth OpenCL workshops and training. Developers at both the entry and advanced level can learn about OpenCL programming on AMD platforms directly from AMD and its partners. Understanding heterogeneous computing and OpenCL is the key to widespread adoption of GPGPU technologies in the embedded market. Many algorithms map well to GPGPU architectures and show sizeable performance increases in comparison to traditional multicore CPU solutions. GPGPU delivers real benefits to the embedded market — compelling GFLOPs per watt plus attractive GFLOPs per unit costto enable new capabilities for size, weight and in power-constrained embedded applications. Conclusion The use of OpenCL promises many application benefits. Many existing algorithms are already a superb match for GPGPU architectures, producing a substantial gain in performance compared to traditional multicore CPU implementations.. But leaps in performance alone do not justify the extra development effort and expense; the price must be right too. GPGPU technology offers attractive GFLOPs performance per watt and dollar, showing the way to new embedded applications that are sensitive when it comes to size, to weight, and to power consumption. OpenCL also makes a major contribution to enhanced performance and system efficiency, and ultimately a more competitive product. In OpenCL, engineers have an efficient, standard-based, parallel development environment enabling them to turn these advantages into powerful applications.

BFree57 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 27 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
We are doing a logo design for a new site we're launching in a month called Roozt.com which will be a deal of the day style platform for socially responsible companies and entrepreneurs that will highlight one product, one company, for 24 hours only. Think Groupon.com meets MARCsMovement.com.
The name Roozt comes from the word "roost" or a place where birds hatch their young. The site is being built as a place for socially responsible companies to launch their brand and product line in the US.
Here's some descriptors we want to have the Roozt logo have:
Hip, cool, edgy, sexy, and web 2.0 look & feel
Generation Y target audience (18-35 year old internet savvy)
"Hatch your company here" mentality
Vibrant colors (we like reds, blues, greens, oranges, etc nothing earth tone)
Pop off the page feeling
Logos we like the look of: Skype, Yedda, YouTube, StumbleUpon, Vimeo, skobse, socialvibe
Sites we like the look and feel of that cater to our target demographic:
Generation Y (18-35 year old) American online internet users. Active in social media, savvy online shoppers, want to connect with brand on a personal level, want to look at brand and say "wow that's cool", MTV generation.
Logo should include the entire name "Roozt" and can include the ".com" or exclude it all together.
It should have a sexy, hip, edgy, web 2.0 look and feel to it that "pops" off the page. Vibrant color choices should be used, but not any obnoxious neon. NO EARTH TONES.
We want the Facebook / Twitter generation to be attracted to this logo and have them feel we feel our site is on their level with our identity.
SInce the name Roozt comes from "roost" which is a place that chickens hatch their eggs, there might be a good design with an egg hatching or a nest somewhere in the design. I'm not sure about this, but feel free to try it out and shoot me a rough design to see if you should design it further. I can look past the rough draft elements. If this idea does not work, don't worry about it, just do what you think looks good.
If you win this bid, we will most likely engage your services for many other graphic design tasks we have lined up after this project...

We finished our meal. No bread. Suddenly they came out with a bunch of trays of humongous
biscuits. I love biscuits and these were really good especially when I nabbed the honey another friend had asked for to go with her tea.
So our table is laughing over the biscuits and then the honey but that was just the beginning. They then brought out dishes of ice cream. They had apparently filled the dishes and set them in the freezer where they became hard as rocks.
Our table was the only one that knew why we got biscuits for dessert. The whole room got a kick out of trying to chip away at the ice cream.
Then we had to leave but we still joke about the biscuits and ice cream.
Have you ever had an unusual dessert?

Get DVD Talk Feeds
Perry Mason - Season 7, Volume 1, includes the last 15 episodes of the 1963-64 season, with "The Cases of the Fifty Million Frenchmen" (my favorite title), "The Case of the Nervous Neighbor," and other cases involving a Frightened Fireman, an Arrogant Arsonist, a Garrulous Go-Between, a Simple Simon, and so forth. ("The Case of the Bountiful Beauty" previously appeared on Perry Mason - 50th Anniversary Edition. The others are new-to-DVD.) There are few surprises but a lot of entertainment. I still find the series enormous fun, and to its credit Perry Mason is still the same fine if unwavering show it's always been. The shows are, even by TV standards of the day, slickly produced with excellent production values and top-drawer guest casts.
I've yet to see a truly terrible Perry Mason, though more than a few have put me to sleep. Nevertheless, the range between the best and worst episodes is so narrow I doubt even fans of the series could point to a particular favorite episode. That is, unless it was one of the very small handful of shows actually deviating from its established format. Though still fun, in this day of more sophisticated legal dramas like Law & Order, The Practice/Boston Legal, and Damages, watching the less believable and more formulaic Perry Mason requires a bit of an adjustment. And as this is my fourteenth (!) Perry Mason DVD review, you'll excuse me if I don't have much to add by this point.
(See below for comments relating to this set)
Really at the core of Perry Mason's appeal is its cast, and that's hardly changed at all. Besides ingenious, resourceful Perry Mason (Burr), the famous Los Angeles attorney who never loses a case, there's Perry's loyal, tireless personal secretary, Della Street (Barbara Hale), and their worldly, slightly cynical pal/colleague, P.I. Paul Drake (William Hopper). Cases usually have them up against easily-aggravated, perennial loser D.A. Hamilton Burger (William Talman).
Also in the cast, sort of, is actor Ray Collins (Citizen Kane, The Magnificent Ambersons), a fine actor who in Perry Mason's first five seasons played slippery Lt. Arthur Tragg, Burger's colleague and a veteran cop who derived much pleasure in arresting Perry's distressed clients. Collins was suffering from advanced emphysema around this time, and in the handful of seventh season episodes in which he appears is notably thinner and frailer than the robust older man he was when the series debuted. Although duly credited in each show he's actually in none of the episodes here, though he would return for a few more brief appearances filmed shortly before his death in July 1965.
Essentially a mystery show with a courtroom setting for its climax, Perry Mason's single flaw is that as a mystery it doesn't really play fair with its audience, though the same could be said for B-movie mysteries of the 1930s and '40s, radio mystery shows, and virtually all other TV whodunits. Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot (to name two examples) faced seemingly irresolvable cases with bizarre, inexplicable clues, yet the solutions were always quite simple and logical. The great literary detectives simply had powers of observation lost on us mere mortals, even though we're armed with the same information as those protagonists.
On the other hand, Perry Mason, the Charlie Chan movies, Murder, She Wrote, etc. operate under a different set of rules. The resolutions to the mysteries don't always make sense and audiences often don't have access to the same clues the protagonists do, and they often leap to conclusions and solve crimes in ways that don't hold up to scrutiny. Instead, these kinds of movies, TV and radio shows rely heavily on atmosphere, characterization and star power to entertain their audiences. One might guess who the real murderer is, but in most cases you won't be able to solve the mystery on your own.
Fortunately Burr, Hale, and Hopper are just wonderful in their roles. Apparently they became close friends in real life, and this camaraderie very much extends to their scenes together on the show. About the middle of season two, Talman's Hamilton Burger started getting more shading, a welcome addition. Often regarded as television's most thankless role, Hamilton Burger this season still is Perry's weekly nemesis but now he's more affable outside the courtroom and flexible in, especially when new evidence casts a shadow of a doubt over the guilt of Perry's client.
Notes About Season 7, Volume 2: Business as usual, pretty much. Seasons 8 and 9, Perry's final two years, would be much more experimental and playful. The results weren't necessarily good, but they were a refreshing break from the slightly monotonous norm and it's also clear the cast is enjoying themselves in these later episodes. Raymond Burr famously began reading his dialogue off TelePrompTers during Perry Mason's run, a practice he continued on Ironside and the later Perry Mason TV movies, apparently. It was in this batch of shows where I first clearly spot him doing this. He may have been reading his dialogue off television monitors earlier but this was the first time it caught my attention.
In its defense, the practice predates Perry Mason by at least a decade. Producer-director-actor Jack Webb did something similar on the original Dragnet deliberately, for effect, as Webb sought flatter but more realistic and non-actorly line readings. Burr, on the other hand, seems to be using the TelePrompTer simply to get through long stretches of witness testimony, legal jargon, and interrogation. Regardless, he's very good at it; only the occasional awkward camera angle gives away the trick, that Burr often is looking past the actor and reading lines off a nearby monitor.
Most of the episodes in this set are cut from the same cloth as other seasons' shows, but a few try to break free a bit from the overly-familiar mold. And it's always fun to watch the interaction among Perry, Della, and Paul. In "The Case of the Ice-Cold Hands," for instance, a young woman (Joyce Bulifant) asks Perry to hold on to horse race tickets. The look on Paul's face when Perry's long-shot wins is priceless. (This was one of the few episodes of this period actually based on an Erle Stanley Gardner story.)
Guest stars in this set include Richard Davalos, Dabbs Greer, Phyllis Coates, Ryan O'Neal, Douglas Fowley, Jean Carson, John Zaremba, Fifi D'Orsay, Paul Winchell, Jeanne Cooper, Sheila Bromley, Les Tremayne, Barry Atwater, Booth Coleman, Francis X. Bushman, David McCallum, Jacques Bergerac, Jackie Coogan, Coleen Gray, Don Collier, Arthur Franz, Mala Powers, Connie Gilchrist, Richard Devon, William Smith, Stacy Keach Sr., Tom Tully, Frank Aletter, Jeff York, Sue Randall, Lori March, Anthony Eisley, Jacques Aubuchon, Merry Anders, Jerry Van Dyke, Harry Townes, Nancy Gates, Joyce Meadows, Victor Buono, Virginia Field, Tom Conway, Douglas Lambert, James Stacy, Don "Red" Barry, Malachi Throne, Mona Freeman, Keith Andes, Ron Randell, Norma Varden, Berry Kroeger, Michael Ansara, George Tobias, Peter Breck, Richard Erdman, Billy Halop, Tom Lowell, Burt Metcalfe, Mimsy Farmer, Peter Hobbs, Tudor Owen, Ron Gans, Malcolm Atterbury, Vaughn Taylor, Ted de Corsia Neil Hamilton, Philip Ober, Ann Rutherford, Lonny Chapman, Natalie Trundy, Pat Priest, Constance Towers, Reginald Gardiner, Max Showalter, and Ford Rainey.
Connie Cezon makes three brief final appearances as Perry's rarely-seen receptionist, Gertie.
Willis Bouchey, Morris Ankrum, S. John Launer, Kenneth MacDonald, John Gallaudet, and Nelson Leigh are back as judges, joined by an inordinate number of judicial neophytes: Sidney Smith, Kenneth Patterson, Tom Harkness, Harry Stanton, Harry Holcombe, and Barney Biro.
Almost all the shows in this set were directed by Arthur Marks or Jesse Hibbs, though Irving J. Moore helmed a couple of others.
Video & Audio
CBS DVD's Perry Mason - Season 7, Volume 2 presents 15 terrific-looking episodes spread over four single-sided, dual-layered DVDs. The black and white full-frame image is very sharp and detailed with strong blacks. The Dolby Digital English mono is generally quite good, too, and English SDH subtitles are offered. Episodes are not time-compressed, with some running up to 52 minutes. The music does not appear to have been altered, though a disclaimer warns "some episodes may have been edited from their original network versions." If so, I didn't notice any obvious changes.
Extra Features
Parting Thoughts
Once again, Perry Mason's half-season sets continue at a good clip, at a reasonable pace, and with high quality transfers always. It's a terrific show and if you've been buying them all along you won't be disappointed here. Highly Recommended.

John Wayne, by the time he appeared in the 1950 print ad at right, was at the peak of his movie career. Wayne had already achieved stardom in motion pictures by the early 1940s, and by the end of the decade was one of Hollywood's top ten box office attractions. During the latter half of the 1940s Wayne had starred in notable westerns and other films including: Fort Apache (1948), Red River (1948), 3 Godfathers (1948), She Wore a Yellow Ribbon (1949), and Rio Grande (1950). Wayne by then had also begun producing some of his own films. He also did a number of war movies, including: The Flying Tigers (1942), Back To Battan (1944), The Fighting Seabees(1944), Sands of Iow Jima (1949), Flying Leathernecks (1951), Operation Pacific (1951). And there would also come other notable films in the early 1950s, such as and The Quiet Man (1952) and Hondo (1953). Wayne was the biggest box-office attraction in 1950, 1951, and the third most popular star of 1952. On television by this time as well, his earlier movies, especially westerns, were regular fare — though he was not a star on a specific TV show; he didn't need one.
The Tobacco Celebrities
This is one in a series of occasional articles that will focus on the history of popular celebrities from film, tele- vision, sports and other fields who have lent their names or voice, offered endorsing statements, or made person- al appearances in various forms of tobacco advertising and promotion. Famous actors, sports stars and other notable personalities have been endors- ing tobacco products since the late 1800s. One recent report published in the journal Tobacco Control, for example, notes that nearly 200 Hollywood stars from the 1930s and 1940s were contracted to tobacco companies for advertising. And while the stigma associated with smoking and using other tobacco products has increased in recent years as medical research evidence linking disease to tobacco has become more widely understood, the promotion of tobacco products, while not as blatant and pervasive as it once was, continues to this day in a number of countries. Not all celebrities, of course, have been involved in such endorsements, and some have worked for, or lent their names to, programs and organizations that help to prevent cigarette smoking or other tobacco-related public health problems.
In the Camel cigarette ad above, which tries to push the "Camels-are-mild" line, Wayne is quoted as saying: "The roles I play in movies are far from easy on my voice — I can't risk throat irritation. So I smoke Camels — they are mild." Wayne continues his endorsement below the highlighted passage with the following: "I've been around movie sets enough to know how important mildness is to an actor. So when it came to deciding what cigarette was right from my throat — I was particular I made a sensible test — my own 30-Day Camels Mildness Test. I gave Camels a real tryout for 30 days. The most pleasure I ever had from smoking. My own T-Zone told me just how mild a cigarette can be." R. J. Reynolds in the 1940s had already started touting Camels and the smoothness and taste of its cigarettes. The company invented the "T-Zone" description for use in advertising, with some ads showing a white-lined area of the mouth and throat as the "T-Zone" (as in the woman's photograph, lower left-hand corner in this ad) — also signifying "T for taste" and "T for throat." Wording of this sort would also appear in other Camel ad copy of the early 1950s, as well as in the quotes of celebrity endorsers.
The Stanford University School of Medicine has noted that "throat cancer was well-recognized by the middle of the nineteenth century," known then as "smoker's cancer." And the tobacco industry, in advertising dating from the 1930s through the 1950s, used a strategy of "throat reassurance" to allay such fears, casting its celebrity voices in ways that stressed how their particular cigarette brands were mild on the throat.
As the Wayne ad above continues, readers are encouraged to make their own "30 Day Mildness test." Then the ad signs off with the bold headline in the lower right: "Not One Single Case of Throat Irritation …Due to Smoking…" Then comes some additional ad copy in smaller print about that finding: "Yes, those were the findings of noted throat specialists after a total of 2,470 weekly examinations of the throats of hundreds of men and women who smoked Camels — and only Camels — for 30 Days." This ad also includes some description of Wayne the movie star meant to appeal to men and women, as a small box to the right of his photo explains: "Man's Idea of a Movie Hero. And the women agree. 6 feet 4 inches, John Wayne has smashed his way to fame in dozens of motion pictures!"
In another 1950 Camel print ad touting a "30-Day Camel Mildness Test," the headline says: "With Stars who must think of their throats, it's Cool, Mild Camels!" Wayne appears in this ad as well, with the ad copy billing him as "John Wayne, Movie Hero," and quoting him as follows: "The roles I play are far from easy on my voice! Camels suit my throat to a 'T'!"By mid-1954, Wayne was featured in more full-page R. J. Reynolds ads for Camels. One, shown at right, has Wayne leaning back in a cane chair in a country cabin setting with cigarette in hand. The headline reads: "John Wayne…a Camel fan goin' on 24 years!" Just below the headline is a hand-written note, with envelope behind it, as Wayne explains his many years of Camel loyalty:
"…in all that time, a man learns how to enjoy smoking – for mildness, for flavor, for pure pleasure. It's kind of gratifying to see that my cigarette is America's choice, too. John Wayne."
The ad's copy then continues: "Talk to Camel smokers like John Wayne, popular Hollywood star, and you'll quickly see why Camels keep increasing their lead over the next brand! Clearly, nothing matches Camels' blend of costly tobaccos for genuine mildness and specially-rich flavor! If you smoke for the pure pleasure of smoking, try Camels for 30 days. See what you've been missing!" Then in somewhat smaller italic print immediately below, comes a further appeal:
"Make your own 30 day Camel Mildness Test…see why more people find more pleasure in Camels year after year !"
Then comes some information about Camels in the market: "Camels First in Sales ! Lead second brand by record 50.8 %." The ad's closing pitch comes as follows: "For Mildness… for Flavor. Camels agree with more people than any other cigarette!" This ad appeared on the back cover of Life magazine's July 12, 1954 issue. It also appeared in Popular Mechanics and possibly other magazines of that time as well.
Wayne also appeared in some TV ads for cigarettes. In one 1952 Camel TV ad, for example, Wayne spoke for the product, saying: "Mild and good tasting pack after pack. And I know, I've been smokin' em for twenty years." This commercial was filmed in conjunction with Wayne's then forthcoming movie, Big Jim McLain, as the tobacco industry and Hollywood commonly engaged in cross-promotion deals in some of their advertising. By the mid-1950s, Wayne reportedly was a five-to-six pack-a-day smoker of unfiltered Camels. Wayne, of course, continued his stellar Hollywood career through the mid-1950s and early 1960s, making films such as: The High and the Mighty (1954), The Sea Chase (1955), The Searchers (1956), The Barbarian and the Geisha(1958), Rio Bravo(1959), The Alamo (1960), The Comancheros (1961), The Challenge of Ideas (1961), and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962).
Lung CancerIn 1964, John Wayne was diagnosed with lung cancer and underwent successful surgery to remove his entire left lung and four ribs. Despite efforts by his business associates to prevent him from going public with his illness for fear it would hurt his image and cost him work, Wayne announced he had cancer and called on the public to get preventive examinations. Five years later, Wayne was declared cancer-free. However, despite the fact that Wayne's diminished lung capacity left him incapable of prolonged exertion and frequently in need of supplemental oxygen, he returned to using some tobacco products. Within a few years of his operation Wayne chewed tobacco and also began smoking cigars. Wayne continued his film making into the late 1960s and early 1970s. He starred in True Grit in 1969, which led to Rooster Cogburn, a film he made with Katharine Hepburn in 1975. His last film came a year later with The Shootist, whose main character, J. B. Books, was dying of cancer. In January 1979 Wayne returned to the hospital for lower abdomen surgery, when a low-grade cancerous tumor was found and part of his lower intestine was removed. In June 1979, Wayne died at the at UCLA Medical Center. The cause of death was given as complications from cancer. Wayne was 72 years old.
In 1956, Wayne had been part of the 220 or so cast and crew who made the film, The Conqueror, near St. George, Utah, downwind from where the U.S. Government had tested nuclear weapons in southeastern Nevada. An astounding ninety-one people from that group, or 41 percent — including stars such as Susan Hayward and Agnes Moorehead in addition to Wayne — had come down with cancer. Many who were at that filming location contend that radioactive fallout from the government's tests contaminated the location and poisoned the film crew.
Some suggested Wayne's 1964 lung cancer and his 1979 stomach cancer resulted from this nuclear contamination. But Wayne himself believed his lung cancer at least was the result of his six-pack-a-day cigarette habit, which he reportedly told US Magazine writer James Bacon in 1978.In the 1980s, Wayne's family created the John Wayne Cancer Foundation and later, the John Wayne Cancer Institute, to help fight cancer with awareness and education programs and cancer research.
John Wayne remains an iconic figure in American culture, having appeared in more than 250 films during his career, more than half of which he had the lead role. He was formally recognized by the United States Congress on May 26, 1979, when he was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, presented to his family at a formal ceremony in March 1980 at the U.S. Capitol. In early June 1980, Wayne also received posthumously the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Jimmy Carter.
