Statement by the First Lady After a Visit to Sochi Art Museum

WASHINGTON, April 6, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a transcript of a Statement by the First Lady After a Visit to Sochi Art Museum: Sochi Art Museum Sochi, Russia 10:51 A.M. (Local) MRS. BUSH: President Bush and I have loved having this chance to be in Sochi. I got to see the Paralympics, the Russian Paralympics team this morning. I wished them good luck in Beijing. So we're very excited to have this opportunity to be in this beautiful Russian city. And this is probably the last time we'll come to Russia to visit President Putin before President Bush and President Putin are no longer Presidents. So I want to thank President Putin for inviting us to Sochi, for giving us this chance to see this beautiful Russian city. And now to be at the beautiful art museum, this is a thrill, too.

NVIDIA Quadro Performance: Windows vs. Linux vs. Solaris

"Earlier this week we previewed the Quadro FX1700, which is one of NVIDIA's mid-range workstation graphics cards that is based upon the G84GL core that in turn is derived from the consumer-class GeForce 8600 series. This PCI Express graphics card offers 512MB of video memory with two dual-link DVI connections and support for OpenGL 2.1 while maintaining a maximum power consumption of just 42 Watts. As we mentioned in the preview article, we would be looking at this graphics card's performance not only under Linux but also testing this workstation solution in both Microsoft Windows and Sun's Solaris. In this article today, we are doing just that as we test the NVIDIA Quadro FX1700 512MB with each of these operating systems and their respective binary display drivers.

Favre to Receive Madden Curse

Despite all the mindless droning about the New England Patriots maybe taping this one thing at some time, this one guy said (possibly)...and despite Al Davis successfully destroying the Oakland Raiders for years to come...the one story to top all others for this year's NFL off-season was Brett Favre's retirement. While somewhat disheartening to see the best of football (that is the embodiment of, the spirit and grit that, ideally, every player should have) hanging it up, it made perfect sense for the Packers and for Favre to start Aaron Rodgers, who could lead that Packers team for years to come. But this isn't ESPN! This is MyGamer! And if you couldn't tell by the title, Brett Favre is the man on the cover of Madden 2009.

In response to the comment left from "Still Lovin' Harry", being an artist I cannot believe this is a trial that has gotten to this point. Rowling has not only verbally said, but hinted severely in the canon itself to writing a complete "Hogwarts Guide" so to say, for years. This shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone that she was wanting to do this. The fact that the author wants ownership rights on bringing her own work to the readers is no question. It's like having the rights to decide if I want my painting plastered on shoeboxes or not. What bothers me more than anything about this trial is I really like the Lexicon, but I don't like their desire to push an artist they supposedly admire into a court hearing. Not respecting that it's *her* work.

Mandrake Linux 10 Preview

IconMandrake Linux 10.0-preview edition pretty much defines the shape of things to come in Linux land in 2004. With Kernel 2.6, KDE 3.2 beta and XFree86 4.4 beta, it doesn't leave much to be desired. This article refers to cooker snapshot as of December 31, 2003. Please note that this release is not a beta release. This is not even an alpha release. Its just something put together to show what we can expect from Mandrake 10.0. This release comes on only two CDs so some of the packages are missing. And as there are bound to be lot of bugs in this kind of release, I'll be concentrating more on the usability aspect. So let's see if it is worth drooling over.

This case could be a landmark case in many ways including the fact that it was blogging and the internet that helped to uncover the truth. Daniel chronicled her blog on her web site www.BESTSELLERtheBook.blogspot.com and the entire case, with commentary, was documented on www.ParlezMoiBlog.com. This may be the first time that bloggers and the internet were responsible for uncovering a hoax of this magnitude.

Talk to This Year's Quirkiest Senatorial Candidate

Not many candidates for the U.S. Senate are 4'9" tall and only have one hand. But Oregon Democrat Steve Novick qualifies on both counts -- and uses them as pluses in his TV ads. Like this one, where he shows why he's the best beer-drinking partner among all the candidates. Or this one, where it's obvious why he's for "the little guy." Also, as far as we know, he's the only candidate this year for any major office who has his own brand of beer. And his online campaign manager is a major Slashdot junkie, too, which is certainly in his favor. But will humor and oddness get Steve into the Senate? We don't know. So ask him. In fact, ask him anything else you'd like about campaigning and politics. He's promised to respond, and seems like the kind of guy who will give interesting answers, at that.

Roll on the end of this season with all possible haste. Defeat to Manchester City on a Sunday evening - a home win greeted with a relieved roar by City's fans, who hadn't seen their team score a goal for three matches - followed hard on the heels of

That's not to say that losing this match was anything other than hugely disappointing and annoying. It's evident that Spurs have better players than City and, all other things being equal, we should not be beaten by them. But the intensity of UEFA Cup action, the possibility of glory as a motivating factor, was just not there. I don't know whether the players feel that - they're professionals so it should make no difference - but as an armchair fan, the imperative to win this game came nowhere close to that felt on Wednesday night. The result just felt predictable - that we would contrive to lose as we have so many times this dire season.

More pink-slips for techies this year

BANGALORE: It looks like many more technology professionals and BPO executives are going to be pink-slipped this year. Companies normally ask around 10% of their bottom-level performers to quit after appraisals every year. But this year, the rupee appreciation and the widely expected US recession are likely to push this number up to 20%-25%.

Xbox 360 gets Rock Band this May

MTV Games, Harmonix and EA will debut Rock Band with Xbox 360 on 23 May, leaving PS3 and Wii waiting until summer for their thrills. There has been no explanation for this, but clearly Microsoft sees this as a big shout for its gaming platform, while Sony and Nintendo seem happy to let this slide. Anyway, on with the show.
