Webb Simpson Wins The U.S. Open

Great news for Webb Simpson winning the US Open.  I always like it when a young contender moves up the ladder.

Sunday evening, belonged to Webb Simpson, who squeezed just enough out of his final round — four birdies in the last 13 holes, parring in from the 11th — to win by a nose when the leading contenders could not handle the stress.

Nuclear weapons supercomputer reclaims world speed record for US

The new IBM cluster system, Sequoia, took number one spot in the world’s fastest 500 supercomputers, a closely-watched measure of international technological prowess.

The machine, which runs the Linux operating system and was first announced in 2009, has been installed across 4,500 square feet of the US Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, to carry out simulations of nuclear weapons tests.   I am particularity impressed  with them using Linux for an operating system.  Great system, use it myself.     For the whole write up click following link;  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/9338651/Nuclear-weapons-supercomputer-reclaims-world-speed-record-for-US.html

News For Port Loring & District

Not much happening around town.  Weather didn’t corporate for those Fathers wanting to do some sittin’ in the old sunshine; but that will all change after today as lots of sunshine is heading our way with nice warm temperatures to go along with it.   The rain though was much needed  and looking at my vegetable garden this morning I am thinking it grew about six inches last night. Nothing can get a garden to growing nicer than good old Mother Nature.   Remember this folks; We are all fed by the soil of the planet we walk upon, we drink her water, we breathe her air and we eat her food.  We carry her with every breath, with every step, with every sip, and with every bite we take.  We came from it and will end up becoming part of it.  Have a great day.
