October 6 2008















It's Donkey Day. Today in history.

I've taken a couple of days off work since Christine got home on Thursday from the hospital. Her total knee replacement surgery, performed a week ago today, though she still has to take pain meds. She left the house today for the first time since Thursday. I took her to Longmont Clinic to get her blood drawn (she's on warfarin, aka coumadin), then to Lowe's. Our neighbor Ray the Handyman started painting our house today - just in time, as we're expecting our first frost tonight, and possibly our first snow next weekend.

This afternoon I read Planet Migration through a Self-Gravitating Planetesimal Disk, a preprint by a group at the University of Rochester. The main interest of the paper is that they performed N-body simulations on a GPU. We've talked about doing this at SwRI. It sounds like Moore, Quillen, and Edgar have figured out how to do it, using a C development environment from NVIDIA called CUDA. There's no connection with Sarah Palin, so far as I know.

In the midst of Boston's plus eight opening quarter, James sprinted alone down the court in an attempt to intercept an outlet pass heading for Tatum. James narrowly missed the ball, however, and landed two rows deep into the courtside seats. His solo act of defensive desperation was punished by Tatum's open 20 footer.

FBI and Justice Department officials have expressed concern to Democratic committee aides that the leaks of the Ohr Steele communications could harm national security, potentially endangering confidential sources, said one Democratic aide who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions. The officials also voiced exasperation with what they saw as a breach of trust by Republicans, after the documents were shared with the House Intelligence Committee on the condition they would be protected, the aide said. "No vote, which should precede any disclosure, has been taken in the committee to share or release any such information.". (Michael Kors Little Black Purse)

There was some transitions and ramp upsthat got delayed. We lost 50 basis points due to cost cuts, just in the quarter. While the demand remained very robust, we could not capture and fulfill all of the demand because of a supply side issue from the talent perspective, specific to the US market..
