One of the most controversial aspects of Star Trek is the idea touted in many episodes that there is no money in the 24th century. Somewhat surprisingly, fans who have no problem accepting the idea of faster than light travel, time travel, phaser weapons and subspace anomalies find that the idea of a society operating without money is 'unbelievable'!
As with many aspects of Star Trek, the creators of the show have been less than consistent in their approach to the use of money. Some episodes have statements that there is no money, whilst others have characters talking about how they have bought a particular item or service. This purpose of this article is to list the canon statements made regarding money and its use within the various incarnations of Star Trek and suggest possible interpretations which would paint a consistent picture of this aspect of the show. It is not my intention to explain how a future society could function without any form of currency; I do believe that this would be possible, but it's not what this is about.
The Original Series
In the original Star Trek series there are few comments concerning money, but there are occasional mentions. The first comes in the episode 'Mudd's Women'. At the beginning of this episode Harry Mudd is beamed aboard the Enterprise with three beautiful women. Whilst riding in a turbolift with Spock, asks if the First Officer is 'part Vulcanian' and when Spock replies in the affirmative the following conversation ensues :
Mudd :
|"Ah well then a pretty face doesn't affect you at all does it! That is not unless you want it to. You can save it girls, this type can turn himself off from any emotion."
Evie :
|"I apologise for what he said sir, he's so used to buying and selling people-"
It later transpires that Mudd is shipping the three women to Ophiuchus III in order to become wives for the settlers. It is not completely certain that Mudd is a Human being, but he certainly does appear to be. It's also not completely certain that Eve is being literal - it's hard to believe that Mudd buys people as such, rather he seems to charge some kind of commission for getting the miners together with wives. The ship heads for Rigel XII to get some lithium crystals. On hearing about this, Mudd reacts ecstatically :
Mudd :
|"Oh, you beautiful galaxy! Oh that heavenly universe! Well girls, lithium miners! Don't you understand? Lonely, isolated overworked, rich lithium miners! Do you still want husbands? Hmm? Evie, you were going to be satisfied with a ship's captain? I'll get you a man who can buy you a whole planet!"
So the miners on Rigel XII posses great individual wealth, and this wealth is rare enough that Mudd is delighted with the prospect of getting his hands on some of it. Again, the miners appear to be Humans although we cannot be certain of this.
In 'Arena', Kirk is stranded on an asteroid by an advanced species calling themselves the Metrones. He finds various gemstones on the surface, and picking a large one up he declares :
Kirk :
|"A large deposit of diamonds on the surface; perhaps the hardest substance known in the universe. Beautifully crystallised and pointed, but they are too small to be useful as a weapon. An incredible fortune in stones, yet I would trade them all for a hand phaser, or a good solid club!"
Kirk will later state in 'Catspaw' that the Federation has the technology to manufacture diamonds at will. It seems that this ability will be developed between 'Arena' and 'Catspaw'; nevertheless, the fact that he believes the stones to be valuable during the former episode does indicate that the Federation continues to use some form of capitalistic system involving money.
In 'The Devil In The Dark' the Enterprise visits Janus VI. This is an important mining planet which could supply the mineral needs of a thousand worlds, if only mining conditions were not so severe. The head of the miners there describes it thus :
Vanderburg :
|"About three months ago we opened up a new level. Sensors gave us an unusually rich pergium reading. Not only pergium, anything you want. Uranium, cerium, platinum. The whole planet's like that - it's a treasure house!"
The use of the word 'treasure house' implies the existence on money. It is possible that Vanderburg is just using a figure of speech, that he means the planet is very important in a resources sense, but later in the episode Kirk gives a more definitive statement :
Vanderburg :
|"Just wanted to tell you the eggs have started to hatch, Captain. First thing the little devils do is start to tunnel! We've already hit huge new pergium deposit. I'm afraid to tell you how much gold and platinum and rare earths we've uncovered."
Kirk :
|"I'm delighted to hear that chief. Once mother Horta tells her children what to look for, you people are going to be embarrassingly rich!"
As with the lithium miners in 'Mudd's Women' the inhabitants of Janus VI are expected to amass considerable personal fortunes from their work on the planet. Interestingly, this episode also establishes that gold is a metal in short supply at this time. As we will see later, this will not always be so.
In 'Errand of Mercy', a war breaks out between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Kirk and Spock are stranded on an apparently primitive planet which is occupied by Klingon forces. When Kirk decides to launch an attack on the Klingons he turns to Spock and says :
Kirk :
|"The Federation has invested a great deal of money in our training, they're about due for a small return. We have two hours in which to do it."
This is an important quote because it is the clearest possible statement that the Federation itself does indeed use money.
In the episode 'The Trouble With Tribbles', there is a scene in a bar on deep space station K-7 in which trader Cyrano Jones attempts to sell some small furry animals to the bartender as Uhura and Chekov look on. The following dialogue takes place :
Uhura :
|"Are you selling them?"
Bartender :
|"That's what we're trying to decide right now."
Jones :
|"My friend, ten credits a piece is a very reasonable price, now you can see for yourself how much the lovely little lady appreciates the finer things."
Bartender :
|"One credit a piece."
Chekov :
|"He won't bite will he?"
Jones :
|"Sir, transporting harmful animals from one planet to another is against regulations, or weren't you aware of that? Besides, Tribbles have no teeth!"
Bartender :
|"All right, I'll double my offer; two credits."
Jones :
|"Twice nothing is still nothing."
Uhura :
|"Well if you're not going to take him I'm going to take him, I think he's cute."
Bartender :
|"Four credits."
Jones :
|"Is that an offer or a joke?"
Bartender :
|"That's my offer."
Jones :
|"That's a joke."
Bartender :
Jones :
|"I can see you're an honest man, I can tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to lessen my price to eight and a half credits."
Bartender :
|"You're talking yourself out of a deal friend. Six credits, not a credit more."
Jones :
|"Seven and a half! Seven? All right you robber, six credits."
Bartender :
|"Done, when can I have them?"
Jones :
|"Right away."
Uhura :
|"All right, what are you selling them for?"
Bartender :
|"Well let me see little lady, six credits. I figure a reasonable mark-up for a reasonable profit, say ten percent mark-up, ten credits."
Jones :
Surely naked capitalism at it's very finest! Station K-7 certainly appears to be run under the auspices of the Federation; Uhura is certainly Human, and although we cannot be completely certain, both the bartender and Jones appear to be also. Certainly all those present are dealing with some form of money called 'credits', and certainly both Jones and the Bartender are motivated by profit. More, Spock later describes Jones as having scratched out a 'marginal living' buying and selling merchandise, so this sale is not an isolated incident, and and the implication is that Jones is not doing this for fun, but rather because he has to.
In 'The Gamsters of Triskelion' the disembodied alien brains known as 'Providers' are clearly highly into money, betting 'quatloos' on the outcome of combat matches. I will not go into detail as it isn't very relevant, since the Providers are clearly neither Human nor Federation members.
Star Trek IV
Later on during the evolution of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry apparently decided that in the post-TOS era the Federation had progressed to a point at which most of the everyday problems of life had been solved. He projected a time in which people only worked to improve themselves and the rest of humanity. The first sign of this in terms of the Star Trek timeline came in Star Trek IV. During this movie, Kirk and his crew go back in time to late 1980s Earth in order to retrieve a pair of humpback whales. Shortly after his arrival, Kirk notes :
Kirk :
|"They're still using money, we gotta find some."
Later on, in a restaurant with Dr. Taylor, Kirk reveals that he is from the future. She is naturally sceptical, and when the bill arrives the following exchange occurs :
Taylor :
|"Don't tell me they don't use money in the twenty third century."
Kirk :
|"Well we don't."
Strictly speaking this only proves that money is not in use. It does not preclude some form of wireless economy in which all payments are made through computer transfers.
Star Trek VI
At the beginning of the conference scene, Scotty declares that he has 'just bought a boat'. No details are given regarding whom he purchased it from ot what mode of payment were employed.
The Next Generation
Unfortunately, it is here that the contradictions started. The such came in the first season's final episode 'The Neutral Zone'. The Enterprise-D rescues three Humans who have been frozen in time for several hundred years. One of them is a stockbroker who is eager to check out how his accounts have been doing whilst he has been gone. Picard has some bad news for him :
Picard :
|"A lot has changed in the last three hundred years. People are no longer obsessed by the accumulation of 'things'. We have eliminated hunger, want, the need for possessions. We've grown out of our infancy."
This philosophy is later contradicted in 'Captain's Holiday'. In this episode Picard goes on holiday to Risa (hence the title), where he becomes encounters a Human woman named Vash. Vash was the personal assistant to an archaeologist who died whilst looking for the mysterious Tox Utat. A Ferengi named Sovak is seeking to purchase a disk from Vash which contains the research notes which will reveal the device's position. Sovak attempts to buy the disk from Vash at one point :
Sovak :
|"I have a proposal I believe you'll find most interesting."
Vash :
|"Save your breath!"
Sovak :
|"I'm willing to pay you your weight in gold in exchange for the disk. Is that not a generous offer?"
To this Vash simply snorts and walks away. Later, Sovak confronts Vash and Picard :
Sovak :
|"Do you know how she acquired the disk in the first place?"
Vash :
Sovak :
|"I paid her to steal it! But instead she betrayed me and used my money to make her way here."
Vash :
|"It didn't happen that way."
Sovak :
|"She's a greedy and unscrupulous woman. A perfect mate for a Ferengi!"
On it's own this is not entirely convincing, because Vash denies that Sovak's version of events is true. But later she confesses to Picard :
Vash :
|"Jean Luc, I'm afraid I haven't been entirely honest with you."
Picard :
|"Forgive me if I don't act surprised."
Vash :
|"Sovak did pay me to hand over the disk."
Picard :
|"So you did steal it."
Vash :
|"It wasn't stealing. The Professor had died; I had spent five years of my life tracking down the Utat!"
Picard :
|"But you took Sovak's money?"
Vash :
|"It was the only way I could afford to get to Risa! As for Sovak, he got exactly what he deserved."
So this confirms Sovak's version of events. Vash did indeed accept payment from him because she had no other way to pay for passage to Risa.
Another, more minor, reference to money comes from the episode 'Brothers'. Here Data meets with Dr. Soong, his creator. Soong asks Data why people are fascinated with old things and Data replies that it is an attempt to tie themselves to the past. In reply Soong says :
Soong :
|"Well what's so important about the past? People got sick, they needed money. Why tie yourself to that?"
So we're back to the idea that people no longer need money.
Another thing to note is that throughout the whole run of TNG, the senior officers play a regular game of poker in which they bet chips. This doesn't necessarily mean anything, though; it's difficult to play poker properly without using chips, and many people play friendly games where the chips are just a way of keeping score. We have never seen or heard any reference to buying chips at the beginning of a game or cashing them in at the end.
Star Trek First Contact
Another statement is made regarding future Economics in this movie. Picard is wandering the Borg-infested Enterprise-E accompanied by Lilly, a Human from the year 2063. Lily is mightily impressed by the size of the ship, and the following dialogue takes place :
Lilly :
|"It took me six months to scrounge up enough titanium just to build a four metre cockpit! How much did this thing cost?"
Picard :
|"The economics of the future are somewhat different. You see, money doesn't exist in the 24th century."
Lily :
|"No money? You mean you don't get paid?"
Picard :
|"The acquisition of wealth is no longer the dirving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves and the rest of Humanity..."
Deep Space Nine
Deep Space Nine makes an interesting set of contributions to the issue. There is frequent mention throughout the series of 'gold pressed latinum' as a valuable resource. So frequent, in fact, that I will not even attempt to list all mentions of it here - see 'Who Mourns For Morn?' for an episode which involves extensive use of latinum.
Latinum comes in at least five denominations - isiks, slips, strips, bars and bricks. In "Body Parts" we find out the exchange rate :
Quark :
|"Five hundred bars of latinum, for the entire set. Come on Nog!"
Rom :
|"That's ten thousand strips!"
Quark :
|"Or one million slips."
So from this we know that 1 bar equals 20 slips, and one slip equals one hundred strips. Now if only we knew how many bars to the brick...
Latinum appears to be the standard Ferengi unit of exchange, although many other species also appear to use it - in that respect, latinum seems to be the 'US dollar' of the alpha quadrant. The above mentioned 'Who Mourns For Morn?' establishes that the latinum part of gold pressed latinum is a valuable liquid which is contained within the actual physical strips and bars themselves. The gold part of the currency is described as valueless. Oddly enough we see Quark break one of the bars and it is full of dust, implying that the gold part of the currency is gold dust contained within some sort of brittle shell, an alloy of gold perhaps. It seems strange that the currency would be so fragile - you'd expect bricks to be breaking all over the place. Or perhaps removing the latinum weakens the casing somehow?
On present day Earth, they type of money used by most nations is called 'fiat money'. Fiat money is, in and of itself, almost wholly valueless. Modern notes are actually not payment in themselves, but rather a promise to pay - this is why notes in the UK all have the words 'I promise to pay the bearer on demand the sum of...' printed on them. The note is essentially a cheque which can be easily transferred from one person to another.
Latinum seems to hark back to 'commodity money', where the value of the money lies in the cost of the material which makes it up. This makes a kind of sense - fiat money's only value lies in the backing of the government which issued it, and so it is only useful within that government's sphere of influence - an area which often, though not always, ends at the border. Commodity money, on the other hand, is valuable wherever the substance it is made of it rare. Given that the alpha quadrant seems to contain large numbers of governments who have little trust with one another, or even knowledge of one another, commodity money may well prove much more useful as an interstellar exchange medium.
Almost every single example of people using gold pressed latinum on DS9 involves Quark. As a Ferengi, Quark is largely obsessed with the gathering of money which he then keeps in a personal safe rather than a bank. Strangely, while people do gamble gold pressed latinum at Quark's dabo table, it is extremely rare to see anybody actually paying for food or drink in the bar. Indeed, I cannot find any specific example of anybody paying for anything in Quark's. Quark is not a part of the Federation and so most of the examples of money being used on DS9 have little relevance to this article.
There are, however, some occasions when Quark deals with humans using money. In 'Defiant', Riker comments that he won all of Quark's Latinum the last time he passed through DS9. And in 'Q-Less', Vash reappears and sells various Gamma Quadrant artefacts she has brought back using Quark as an agent.
However, the episode in which the issue of money is addressed most emphatically is 'In The Cards'. In this episode the station's crew is feeling somewhat miserable because of the worsening political situation. Jake Sisko decides to cheer up his father by obtaining a rare baseball card for him, and must go through a convoluted series of deals in order to do this. The overall effect is that he cheers up virtually the entire senior staff, but the telling point is that he has to go through all this because, as a Human, he is unable to simply buy the card. This is stated explicitly in a scene between Jake and Nog :
Jake :
|"Come on Nog!"
Nog :
Jake :
|"Why not?"
Nog :
|"It's my money Jake. If you want to bid at the auction, use your own money."
Jake :
|"I'm Human, I don't have any money."
Nog :
|"It's not my fault your species decided to abandon currency based economics in favour of some philosophy of self enhancement."
Jake :
|"Hey, watch it! There's nothing wrong with our philosophy. We work to better ourselves and the rest of Humanity."
Nog :
|"What does that mean, exactly?"
Jake :
|"It means... it means we don't need money."
Nog :
|"Well if you don't need money then you certainly don't need mine."
Voyager has made a couple of interesting contributions to this issue. The first comes in 'The Gift', where the Janeway says the following to Kes :
Janeway :
|"Ah! Tuvok's meditation lamp! I was with him when he got it, six years ago, from a Vulcan master - who doubled the price when he saw our Starfleet insignias."
This is an important quote, because it establishes that money is indeed in use on Federation planets during the TNG era. It could also be taken to indicate that Starfleet officers are considered to be highly paid, or gullible enough to pay over the normal price.
The next quote comes in 'Dark Frontier'. Janeway compares raiding a Borg sphere to attacking Fort Knox, and Tom Paris provides this description :
Paris :
|"Fort Knox--the largest repository of gold bullion in Earth's history. Over 50 metric tons worth over $9 trillion U.S. dollars.' 'When the New World Economy took shape in the late 22nd-century and money went the way of the dinosaur, Fort Knox was turned into a museum.'
This would seem to contradict the idea of a Federation without money; more on that later. The most interesting thing about it is that it gives a time frame for the move away from money - the late 22nd century. There are various examples throughout Voyager of the ship buying supplies of one kind or another from local civilisations. These rarely involve any form of currency - more usually the crew engage in some form of barter, swapping isolinear chips for weapons as in 'Retrospect', or Zeolitic ore for deuterium injectors as in 'Nightingale'. This makes sense given that Voyager is travelling through unknown space, and so would not have currency even if such exists in these places. In any case, these examples are not terribly relevant for the purposes of this article since they involve non-Federation members.
To summarise some of our data points :
By 2200 :
|Money goes 'the way of the dinosaur'.
2265 - 2267 :
|Credits in use within the Federation.
By 2286 :
|Kirk states that 'we' do not use money in his time.
2293 :
|Scotty buys a boat.
By 2364 :
|Picard states that greed has been eliminated.
2364 :
|The Ferengi offer bribes to Enterprise-D personnel, state that gold is precious.
2366 :
|Vash takes payment from a Ferengi, is later offered a further payment in gold.
2369 - 2375 :
|Humans on DS9 use money when dealing with Ferengi or other aliens.
2373 :
|Jake states that it is Humans who do not have money.
Picard states that money does not exist in the 24th century.
2374 :
|Quark states that gold is worthless.
One of the first conclusions here is that, contrary to popular belief, it was not actually during TNG that the fact that there was no money in the future was established. Picard says in 'The Neutral Zone' that people are no longer obsessed by the need to accumulate possessions, and that want has been eliminated, but he does not claim that there is no such thing as money. 'Captain's Holiday' shows that money does indeed still exist and is in use within the Federation else Vash would not have needed some to travel to Risa, a Federation planet.
During the series Soong comes closest to stating that there is no money by stating that it was something people needed in the past, but even he stops short. It's quite possible to interpret his words as meaning that all basic needs are supplied for free so you don't need money, but that it still exists for buying luxuries.
So the first definitive statement that 'we don't have money', in both the real and Trek timeline, actually comes from Kirk in Star Trek IV. This movie was produced in 1986, about a year before TNG debuted, so it seems that the move towards showing the future as a less capitalistic society came around this time. Roddenberry had relatively little creative input to the movies after 'Star Trek : The Motion Picture', but he did have a big influence on early TNG and so it seems at the very least that he was happy to endorse the idea that money played a much reduced part in the future.
The no money philosophy takes its first knocks during 'Captain's Holiday'. Vash is not positively stated to be Human in this episode, but Worf identifies her as such in 'Qpid'. Yet she is clearly motivated at least partially by greed. Further, the fact that she was unable to travel within the Federation without funds to buy passage destroys the idea that there is a Federation-wide no money policy.
Deep Space Nine has many examples of money being used, but as mentioned most of these are not a problem because they take place with Quark, who is not a Federation citizen. There are one or two examples of Humans wanting to acquire money, principally Tom Riker in 'Defiant' and Vash in 'Q Less', but Deep Space Nine contains no example of Humans buying or selling items between one another.
Deep Space Nine does have what is certainly the most pivotal episode in this whole debate, i.e. 'In The Cards'. Up to this episode the idea that the future has no money rests almost solely on Kirk's ST IV quote. It would be more than a little tempting to remove the whole problem by a creative 'reinterpretation' of this single quote. However, 'In The Cards' makes the most positive statement ever on the matter. It is not possible to interpret Jake as meaning that physical currency has been eliminated in favour of wireless transfers or some such, for Jake would still be able to bid on the baseball card no matter what form his money was in.
Voyager then makes another strong statement on the subject, not only confirming that money has become extinct but giving us an approximate date for this. Yet in 'The Gift', Voyager confirms that money is indeed still in use within the Federation.
First Contact complicates matters somewhat. It gives a strong "no money" statement, but it is a very general one; Picard doesn't limit his claim in any way, so he could be interpreted to mean that there is no money anywhere in the 24th century. Yet he can't mean this, because it's been shown many times that there are many non-Federation powers that still use money.
This apparently tangled web becomes a whole lot simpler to unravel when we consider Jake's 'In The Cards' statement more carefully. He does not state Federation citizenship as the reason he does not have money; rather it is specifically that he is a Human being. We can therefore make the assumption that Humans do not use money with one another, but only when dealing with aliens. This requires some creative interpretation of Picard's "First Contact" statement, but as mentioned we already have to assume that Picard was being somewhat over-general in claiming that there is no money in the 24th century. It's not so great a leap to say that his statement applied only to Humans rather than the Federation as a whole. In this light many of the apparent contradictions vanish. For instance, we can assume that Scotty bought his boat from an alien. Vash's dealings with the Ferengi, Riker winning money from Quark, the Vulcan merchant mentioned in 'The Gift', all cease to be a problem.
Indeed, after several years of talking about this issue I have yet to find a single example of one Human being using money in dealings with another Human being in any post-TOS episode of Star Trek.
Ironically, then, the biggest fly in the ointment then becomes TOS - the series that was the most consistent in its use of money! Paris's 'Dark Frontier' date of 'the late 22nd century' puts the abandonment of money at no later than 2199, which is still at least sixty years prior to TOS. So we have to find some way to reconcile this.
The simplest and neatest way is to say that Paris got his dates slightly mixed up, and actually the transition happened some time between 2267 and 2286. All the TOS references to money being used between Humans fall before this range and all the no money statements fall after it. However, this is not an ideal solution because it involves disregarding a canon statement.
Secondly, we could say that the move to no money happened in stages. Perhaps Paris was referring to the abandonment of physical cash in favour of payment via computer. This would still allow payments via computer 'credits' to exist during TOS. Then in the post-TOS era currency was abandoned altogether. One problem with this is explaining why the move to a computer-money society made the gold in Fort Knox worthless. So long as money of any form exists and gold remains rare, then the metal should retain its value. It's possible that the move to a computerised currency society happened concurrently with some advance which made gold valueless - cheap transmutation, for example. Perhaps the advent of replicators or some other method of manufacturing gold artificially could account for this. But this seems like a clumsy explanation; Paris certainly implied that it was the New World Economy's abandonment of money which made gold valueless, so it seems that this scenario is flawed.
Another way around the problem is to assume that Paris was talking only about Earth. We have already established that the no money thing only applies to Humans. Possibly it was a gradual conversion, with Earth changing over to a no-money economy prior to 2200. Paris does, after all, call it the 'New World Economy' rather than the 'New Human Economy'. If we go with this assumption then during TOS most Human planets may still have used money, including whichever ones Harry Mudd and Vanderburg came from. The difference between Earth Humans and others then mirrors the later difference between all Humans and other Federation citizens; Earth Humans would not use money when dealing with one another, but would do so when dealing with their non-Terran cousins. The rest of Humanity would eventually see the wisdom of the no money system and convert to it sometime between TOS and TNG.
Our final option is to assume that Paris was completely correct. Under this assumption Humanity as a whole would have abandoned money circa 2200. But since this does only apply to Humans, there would still be some motivation for a Humans to enrich his or her self in order to function on non-Human worlds. It's possible that Humans who work for Starfleet would be paid; Lilly asks Picard if he is paid in "First Contact" and although the implication of the scene is that he is not, he actually makes no direct answer to the question.
Since Starfleet is a Federation rather than a Human organisation it is possible that everybody in it is paid, or that only the Humans are not. Either way, in a Federation in which Humans do not use money with one another, they may still engage in commerce so as to better their lot within a Federation-wide context.
As an analogy, imagine if Texas came up with a way to function internally entirely without money while the rest of the US remained capitalist. A Texan might choose to stay within the state for the rest of their life and never trouble themselves with money at all, but those who wanted to visit other states would still need some way to pay for things whilst there. Texans who wanted a better time while out of Texas may still choose to engage in commerce with one another to improve their lot.

I found Soothing Touch about 12 years ago and it remains my favorite. It is not oily and absorbs perfectly for deep work. I have tried other brands but always come back to the Soothing Touch Calming Cream.
My clients and I enjoy the non-greasy feel of this cream. Great friction and glide. Has a very light, pleasant aroma that sinks into the skin over time. And it's paraben free!!
have to apply a lot of cream and it rolls up on clients' skin. I use it for one client that just loves it.
Clients felt so relaxed after using this cream. It's awesome.
I love this cream, it glides so easy it feels more like an oil. Not too excited about the smelling,I did not get the "calming effect" .Still my favorite is santa barbara massage cream lavender.

Gary Macioce of DuBois has been named president of Clearfield Hospital, according to Dennis L. Merrey, chairman of both the Clearfield Hospital Board of Directors and Penn Highlands Healthcare Board of Directors. Macioce will begin at Clearfield Hospital in mid-April.
Macioce replaces David J. McConnell, president of Clearfield Hospital. McConnell was recently promoted to the position of vice president and chief financial officer of Penn Highlands Healthcare, the parent corporation of Clearfield Hospital, DuBois Regional Medical Center and Brookville Hospital.
Macioce, a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives, is currently serving as the interim president of Brookville Hospital.
Prior to his role at Brookville Hospital, Macioce served as the chief operating officer of DuBois Regional Medical Center. He held that position from May 2008 until he was named interim president in Brookville in October 2011.
At DRMC, Macioce was responsible for the day-to-day operations, ensuring the efficient use of resources while still providing high quality, customer focused care for the community. He worked with the medical staff and management in regard to policies, compliance procedures and patient satisfaction. He also directed all nursing/patient service areas, human resource operations and various ancillary and support service departments.
During his tenure at DRMC, Macioce is credited with directing the formation of a physician governance and policy council to actively engage employed physicians in practice operations, planning, financial performance, patient safety, and electronic medical record development. He was also instrumental in the development of DRMC's retail clinics within the DuBois and St. Marys Wal-Mart stores.
Raymond A. Graeca, chief executive officer of Penn Highlands Healthcare, said of Macioce, "Gary Macioce has demonstrated great integrity and leadership skills while serving DRMC and Brookville hospitals. His outstanding leadership ability, his wealth of experience in health care and his steadfast commitment to 'always put the patient first' make him the perfect choice to lead Clearfield Hospital."
Merrey echoed Graeca's sentiments and added, "We feel fortunate that Gary Macioce is taking the helm of Clearfield Hospital. His well rounded and extensive experience in both clinical and business operations will be advantageous in these challenging economic times. He will continue the tradition of excellence at Clearfield Hospital by working with patients and their families, our physicians and staff, to ensure the hospital and the communities it serves are strong and healthy."
Macioce was formerly the vice president of operations at Uniontown Hospital, a 197-bed acute care hospital which also has outpatient services and physician practices located in Uniontown.
While at Uniontown, he was responsible for multiple hospital departments, medical staff services, physician practices and several joint ventures.
He was previously the vice president at Canonsburg General Hospital, Canonsburg, and West Allegheny Hospital, Oakdale.
Macioce attended Slippery Rock University and received his bachelor's degree in physical therapy from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He subsequently earned his master's degree in health administration from the University of Pittsburgh.
A native of Clairton, Macioce now lives in DuBois with his spouse Sandy. They are the parents of triplets, Molly, Katie and Jack.
As president of Clearfield Hospital, Macioce will report to the board of directors and also Raymond A. Graeca, chief executive officer of Penn Highlands Healthcare.

The 250 SX‑F is virtually a guarantor for top places in hard-fought motocross battles – this is substantiated not only by the numerous world titles. For the 2014 model year, KTM engineers have equipped the engine with, among other things, a lighter transmission featuring five instead of six gears. The combination of compact engine design and unrivalled performance make the 250 SX‑F an undisputed contender in the next model year as well.
The 250 SX‑F engine is equipped as standard with an electric starter – an undisputed benefit when the going gets really tough in the heat of battle, even when a slight weight disadvantage has to be accepted as a consequence. A redesigned starter freewheel is employed in MY 2014 for the benefit of greater durability.
The tried and tested, integrated cooling system transports the coolant from the cylinder head through the frame triangle directly to the aluminium radiators made by WP. The consequent lack of piping simplifies radiator installation and improves air flow beneath the fuel tank.
The heart of the compact DOHC engine is the state-of-the-art cylinder head with twin overhead camshafts and DLC-coated cam followers – a design allowing the rev "sound barrier" of 14,000 rpm to be achieved. Ducts designed for optimum flow combined with ultra-light titanium valves (intake 32.5 mm, exhaust 26.5 mm) guarantee maximum gas throughput and therefore the highest performance.
The forged piston with a box-in-box design excels with its extra-stiff structure, while keeping weight to a minimum. Thanks to its reduced reciprocating weight, the engine exhibits extremely dynamic characteristics.
The crankshaft on the new 250 SX‑F is equipped with a plain bearing in the lower conrod eye. Two press-fit bearing shells run directly on the crankshaft's crank pin. This design is a key factor behind the extremely high engine speed and unrivalled peak power of the 250cc engine. It also enhances the durability of the engine, thereby enabling an extension to the service intervals for the crankshaft – a benefit for the customer in terms of time and costs.
To counterbalance the inertia forces, the 250 SX‑F engine is equipped with a balancer shaft that acts as a multi-function shaft, driving timing chain and water pump simultaneously. For the 2014 model year, the engine is provided with a new water-pump cover complete with new gasket for optimising sealing.
The 250 SX‑F engine excels in MY 2014 with a new transmission characterised by extremely precise and simple shifting. With the number of gears reduced from six to five, the new transmission is 250 g lighter than its predecessor.
The very compact CCS (Coil Spring Steel) clutch is equipped with a wear-free steel cage and eight lining discs that are extremely heat-resistant due to the steel base material. The hydraulic clutch actuation system from Brembo®, with new clutch armature, guarantees smooth and very precise clutch control.
In conjunction with the revolutionary injector position developed by KTM, the Keihin engine management system, with electronic fuel injection and 44 mm throttle body, ensures spontaneous responsiveness and maximum engine performance. The wiring harness on the 250 SX‑F has been further simplified for the 2014 model year and the quality of cables and plugs improved. Many connectors are now enclosed in new rubber grommets to protect them from steam-jet pressure. Various engine characteristics can also still be selected via the EMS, with a map-select switch available as a PowerPart. Furthermore, a user-setting tool (also available as an option) allows data to be read from the bike by laptop and the mapping, ignition and fuel injection to be modified in a matter of a few mouse clicks.
The wheels feature CNC-machined hubs, high-end Excel rims and black coated spokes with lightweight aluminium nipples, allowing the highest levels of stability to be achieved while keeping weight to a minimum. The fitted Pirelli Scorpion MX Mid Soft 32 tyres excel with perfect traction and outstanding performance.
High-tech brakes from Brembo have always been standard equipment on KTM offroad bikes and, together with the lightweight wave brake discs, they are the measure of all things in terms of brake technology. A newly developed handbrake armature has been employed for the 2014 model year, with new remote reservoir, smaller brake piston diameter and new levers with optimised lever kinematics. As a result and thanks to optimised brake pads, performance and application of the front brake have been perceptibly improved again.
KTM engineers have focussed on designing the bodywork ergonomically and functionally in such a way that the whole motorcycle is in perfect harmony with the rider down to the very last detail. The front fender is a perfect example of how moulded plastic components can gain maximum stability with a well thought out structure and well-conceived attachment.
The ergonomically perfectly designed seat is equipped with an improved foam core for the 2014 model year, ensuring both greater comfort and higher stability.
At the same time, the design of the airbox guarantees optimum protection of the air filter from dirt plus maximum air throughput for the highest performance. Quick replacement of the twin-air filter - without tools and in a matter of seconds - has long since been an unrivalled KTM standard.
All models in the SX range are equipped with a new, lightweight, polyethylene, 7.5 litre fuel tank, which has been revised in the area of the filler cap internal thread and can be closed even more easily and reliably with a new filler cap. The fuel pump system used on the four-stroke motocross models is the same as that used on the four-stroke enduro models, thereby allowing optional installation of larger tanks from the PowerParts range or from the enduro models.
All SX models are equipped with the extremely sturdy, tapered Renthal Fatbar 827 handlebar that features an offset specially designed to meet the demands of motocross. In accordance with the proven KTM standard, the handlebar can be fixed in a choice of four positions. A large Renthal crash pad, still in classy black/silver for 2014, provides the rider with effective impact protection.
A new, refined graphic design with clear lines underlines the high demands made of a modern, state-of-the-art offroad motorcycle.
The modern frame design of the SX models, comprising lightweight, high strength, chrome-molybdenum steel section tubes, combines maximum longitudinal stiffness with optimum torsional stiffness. It guarantees easy handling and precise steering behaviour, as well as excellent ride stability.
The cast aluminium swingarm has been developed with state-of-the-art calculation and simulation software and constructed, in terms of design and wall thickness, for minimum weight with optimum stiffness and precisely defined flexibility. For the 2014 model year, our engineers have revised the chainguide and its attachment points to the swingarm for the benefit of higher functional reliability, while simultaneously reducing the weight.
Both the rear shock absorber and the 48 mm upside-down fork from WP Suspension guarantee ultimate damping and responsiveness. Thanks to optimised tuning, the telescopic fork excels with even higher reserves against bottoming out in MY 2014. Naturally, rebound and compression damping can be adapted individually to the track and rider in no time at all – while high and low-speed compression damping can also be adjusted on the rear shock absorber.
High quality, CNC-machined triple clamps have long since been standard equipment at KTM. They ensure precise handling and provide a perceptible boost to the flexing characteristics and hence the responsiveness of the telescopic fork.
The FIM noise limits represent a major challenge for manufacturers of motocross motorcycles, which KTM is confronting with substantial R&D investment. On the 250 SX‑F 2014, hydroformed components and an additional HRS resonator chamber (Header Resonator System) ensure greater torque, while also reducing noise.
The 250 SX‑F has been an established force in the MX2 World Championship for years now and has delivered the world title to Mattighofen five times in succession. Most recently, Jeffrey Herlings won the 2012 World Championship on the 250 SX‑F and naturally he's placing his trust in the best motorcycle in the field again in the 2013 season. In MY 2014, the feisty four-stroke hits the scene with further improvements to engine and chassis – a performance package that will continue to dominate the MX2 class.

Snapper, Red – US
Red Snapper are found in the western Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to northern South America, the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico. Red Snapper are found around both natural and artificial structures like corals reefs and oil rigs. They grow slowly, reach sexual maturity around three years of age, and may live for over 50 years.
Red Snapper are overfished throughout their range in U.S. waters, with abundance levels 5-20% of what they should be. Red Snapper are typically caught by hook-and-line gear which has minimal impact to the seafloor. However, some Red Snapper are also caught using longlines, which can accidentally catch protected animals like sea turtles and sawfish.
This fish may have moderately high levels of mercury that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More info here about mercury in snapper. Check out our mercury in seafood section.

I had a customer who wanted me to make a Gretsch synchromatic style bridge. Because there is much more contact space on the feet, I decided to try this jig. It worked perfectly and saved me a lot of time.
Other than the cost, this fitting jig is a very good addition to any luthier's tool chest.
Watched Dan Erlewine's video and bought it to use on mandolins as well as guitars.
Used it twice so far for a perfect full-contact fit - something almost impossible to do by hand.
Cudos to the inventor and StewMac for carrying it!
This is an excellent jig that holds very securely, and is very rigid. However, in order for it to be used to its full potential, you can't skimp on preparation and setup of your tape and sandpaper. The best fit comes from sanding in very small motions as close to the final position as possible. Also, any lift in the edges of the sandpaper can have a very noticeable effect on fit. Make sure to use good sticky sandpaper.
I have a German Hofner violin bass which came with a poorly fitted bridge. It was way off the shape of the arch on the Hofner top. I tried filing and sandpapering by hand but ended up trashing the old bridge. I bought a new bridge and also purchased the Archtop Bridge Fitting Jig. I pretty well followed the video instructions and ended up with a perfectly matched bridge.
You couldn't slide a cigarette paper under any of the outside edges of the bridge now. I have a mandolin bridge to work on next. Thanks to Stewmac for a great tool.
Does what it says, thanks for another tool that gives accuracy when you have the skills :)
Used this to fit a new bridge on an old archtop guitar - worked great - much better than by hand...
If you want your F5 to sound the best it can, this tool is the very best start for installing a high quality bridge!!!
Next thing you know all your pals want you to set up their mando bridges.
Garry Greenland - Nepean Ontario
This tool is not a bad idea: the problem is that the guitar's top curvature is different when the strings are installed. So you will obtain a good (but not perfect...) bridge-top coupling.

Patch from Gerd Moellmann, cmucl-imp, 2005-05-21: The problem here is that a fixnum value gets stored in an unsigned-byte vector, which messes up the linked list.
From Gerd Moellman, cmucl-imp, 2005-05-15: Bruno reported an endless loop in the following test case: (let ((tab (make-hash-table :test 'eq :weak-p t))) (let ((a (list 'x))) (let ((b (list 'y))) (setf (gethash a tab) 'xxx) (setf (gethash b tab) (cons 'yyy b))) (gc) (list (hash-table-count tab) (gethash a tab) (let ((l nil)) (maphash #'(lambda (k v) (push k l)) tab) l)))) But we return (2 XXX ((Y) (X))) instead of (1 XXX ((X))).
Retire i586_bzero() in favor of memset(). The i586_bzero() routine is demonstrably slower than extant compiler intrinsics or C runtime memset() implementations for blocks of memory greater than or equal to an x86 VM page.
Get rid of fastcopy16 which is only used in cgc.c Get rid of i586_bzero but it may be a good optimization
After almost 1 year of gencgc on sparc without encountering a gc assertion, let's disable gc assertions on sparc now.
make amd64 the same as x86
Finish conversion from hardcoded sigcontext to os_context_t, as initiated by the commit of the NetBSD support, and needed by the upcoming merge of the OS X/Darwin port.
More compiler warning fixes: * gencgc.c: o fixup up fprintf warnings o generation_bytes_allocated() defined only when GC_ASSERTIONS is #defined. * x86-arch.c: fixup printf warnings.
Fix more compiler warnings: * alloc.c: Include gencgc.h to get declaration of alloc(). * gencgc.c: o Include string.h for memset. o Initialize some vars that gcc complains might be uninitialized (but they're not). o scav_fdefn isn't used on sparc, so comment it out. o valid_dynamic_space_pointer, maybe_adjust_large_object, and preserve_pointer are only used on x86, so comment #ifdef them for i386. * os-common.c: o Fix a few printf warnings. o Cast args to bcopy.
Changes from Robert Swindells to support NetBSD.
amd64 changes
From Lynn Quam: adds the mark_bit slot to weak-pointers and eliminates the n-squared performance problem with scav_weak_pointer.
- fix syntax for C multiline strings
Clean up printing of generation info to handle the larger heaps we have now.
Remove some unused code that we don't need anymore.
Add comment from Douglas about what DIRECT_SCAV means.
Oops. It's i386, not x86.
Update to sparc gencgc so that alloc-tn holds the current-region-free-pointer. Cross compile may be needed, but I'm not sure. I only used cross-compiling to do this change. sparc/macros.lisp: o Update the allocation macro appropriately for alloc-tn holding the current-region-free-pointer. lisp/gencgc.c: o Define macros for setting and getting *current-region-free-oointer* and *current-region-end-addr* so sparc can use alloc-tn. *current-region-free-pointer* isn't used anymore, but is still a static symbol. It's been replaced by alloc-tn. o On sparc, set_alloc_pointer doesn't need to do anything anymore. o Don't need to call update_dynamic_space_free_pointer anymore. o The assertion that *current-region-free-pointer* is a fixnum is no longer valid on sparc because that is alloc-tn which contains the pseudo-atomic bits. lisp/sparc-arch.c: o The allocation trap instruction is now preceeded by a SUB instruction. Handle that correctly. Keep support for the OR instruction for now, but should be removed. o Set alloc-tn from current_dynamic_space_free_pointer.
Add support for catching heap overflows, similar to the control stack overflow checking. Enable with :heap-overflow-check. We reserve some number of pages on the heap. When the heap reaches the reserved pages, an overflow warning is signalled. The reserved pages are set 0. This allows some additional allocation to happen during debugging, if necessary. If another overflow happens, we throw to top-level. Sparc only right now. * lisp/sparc-assem.S (_do_dynamic_space_overflow_error): New function to handle a heap overflow error. (_do_dynamic_space_overflow_warning): New function to handle heap overflow warning. * lisp/sparc-arch.c (sigill_handler): Handle the two new traps caused by heap overflows. * lisp/interrupt.c (interrupt_handle_space_overflow): New function to handle interrupt caused by heap space overflows. * lisp/gencgc.c (handle_heap_overflow): New function to handle heap overflows. (gc_alloc_new_region): Use handle_heap_overflow. (gc_alloc_large): Use handle_heap_overflow * compiler/sparc/parms.lisp (static-symbols): Add new static symbols for heap overflow checking: dynamic-space-overflow-error-hit and dynamic-space-overflow-warning-hit. * compiler/generic/new-genesis.lisp (finish-symbols): Initialize the new dynamic-space-overflow-error-hit and dynamic-space-overflow-warning-hit static symbols. * code/lispinit.lisp (:heap-overflow-check): Add heap-overflow-check to *runtime-features*, if necessary. ("reserved_heap_pages"): Access to alien variable for heap overflow. (*reserved-heap-pages*): Default number of heap pages to reserve for heap overflow. (%top-level): Set reserved-heap-pages to the default. * code/interr.lisp (dynamic-space-overflow-warning-hit): Add function to handle heap overflow warnings. (dynamic-space-overflow-error-hit): Add function to handle heap overflow error. * code/error.lisp (heap-overflow): Add new condition type for heap overflow
Zap out any bits for pseudo-atomic stuff when getting the alloc-pointer.
It's lowtag_Mask, not lowtagMask.
Convert a few more void* to char*. Add a few casts as needed to get rid of some compiler warnings.
Changes so this will compile under Sun C: o Convert some void* objects to char* objects so we don't try to do pointer arithmetic on void* objects. o Change scavenge to take void* instead of lispobj*. Cast appropriately in the body. o Change uses of scavenge to match the new definition.
Use the new constants lowtagMask, pseudo_atomic_Value, and pseudo_atomic_InterruptedValue instead of the bare 7's, 4's, and 3's and 1's in the code.
o The Sparc port was not correctly scavenging the interrupt handlers. Use the same code as used for x86. o Clean up the code a bit, adding the functions scavenge_interrupt_handlers and scavenge_control_stack. Move some printing noise into those functions. There are still bugs here that are exercised by Eric Marsden's cl-bench with cpu performance counter library.
It's ok for stack references to come from stack objects, because that can happen when we scavenge the control stack on non-x86.
* src/lisp/gencgc.c (GC_ASSERTIONS): New define for activating GC assertions. Define it for sparc. (invalid_stack_start, invalid_stack_end) [GC_ASSERTIONS]: New variables. (garbage_collect_generation) [GC_ASSERTIONS]: Set them. (check_escaped_stack_object) [GC_ASSERTIONS]: New function. (scavenge) [GC_ASSERTIONS]: Call it.
Don't blindly set current_dynamic_space_free_pointer in the set_alloc_pointer macor. Instead, carefully merge the value with any pseudo-atomic bits that might have been set.
* src/lisp/gencgc.c (alloc_pseudo_atomic): Wrap alloc in pseudo-atomic only if not already in a pseudo-atomic section.
* src/lisp/alloc.c (alloc) [GENCGC]: Define as alloc_pseudo_atomic. * src/lisp/gencgc.c (set_pseudo_atomic_atomic) (clr_pseudo_atomic_atomic) [i386]: Reverse the values assigned to PSEUDO_ATOMIC_ATOMIC, remove semicolons. (alloc_pseudo_atomic): New function wrapping alloc in a pseudo-atomic section. (alloc): Remove code for the non-PA case, rewrite the rest to use a loop instead of goto.
Remove the fprintf's where the hash table invariant wasn't true during scavenging. It appears to be true before and after GC.
Merge sparc_gencgc_branch that adds support for gencgc for Solaris.
* code/hash-new.lisp (make-hash-table): Put warning about creating weak tables in #-gencgc. * lisp/gencgc.c (gc_assert): Ensure macro expansion is always a C statement. (struct hash_table): New struct. (HASH_TABLE_SIZE, EQ_HASH): New macros. (weak_hash_tables): New variable. (survives_gc, u32_vector, free_hash_entry, record_for_rehashing) (scav_hash_entries, scav_weak_entries, scan_weak_tables) (scav_hash_vector): New functions. (scav_vector): Removed. (scav_weak_pointer, trans_weak_pointer, scan_weak_pointers): Cleaned up. (gc_init_tables): Use scav_hash_vector instead of scav_vector. (garbage_collect_generation): Call scan_weak_tables. (everywhere): Add casts, change format strings, etc. to placate the compiler. * lisp/FreeBSD-os.h: Fix a function prototype.
Add a more informative error message to the stuff that is printed to the terminal when gencgc exhausts dynamic space.
Remove a #ifdef ITA which sneaked in with the profiler changes. No functional change for normal builds.
Export print_generation_stats.
Make (time ...) and the profiler do precise measuring of space allocation. It will also not overflow or bomb out when consing amounts cross most-positive fixnum. The new profiler also has an interface to plug in your own print function (also dictates sorting or results). This is written on gencgc/x86 but tests indicated the fallsbacks for other platforms work. The dfixnum package included here is sketchy.
On x86 FreeBSD and Linux, change the way foreign symbol addresses are resolved. They now go through a table -- effectively a new space in the core file. Function references are resolved lazily, data references are resolved on startup and when a .so is loaded. The end result is that cores can be dumped that contain references to symbols in shared libraries. Also, the dependence of the core on addresses in the Lisp runtime is broken. The linkage table feature is controlled by :linkage-table and LINKAGE_TABLE in C runtime. Several foreign symbols are now Lisp static symbols, so a cross compile is required whether or not the new stuff is used. I've checked in boot4-cross-foreign-linkage.lisp that builds the compiler for linkage table; do whatever you usually do for the non-linkage table case:) Seriously, lets start a discussion on standardizing "cross compilation," not to mention the general build procedure.
Added specialised port to NetBSD (1.5.2) on x86. Since the code-base was already cleaned up with the OpenBSD port, this doesn't require massive changes. Since current NetBSD is ELF-based by default, we don't make use of the ELF feature, or in other words: The presence of the NetBSD feature implies ELF, since there is no support for non-ELF NetBSD. The page-protection feature of the generational GC had to be turned off, because currently NetBSD 1.5.2 doesn't provide access to the faulting memory address in SIGSEGV signal-handlers on the x86 platform. The memory is validated/mmapped in 64MB chunks in os-validate, in order to circumvent a restriction on NetBSD, that prevented me from mmapping 128MB or more apiece. It has been pointed out to me that this may be caused by the default ulimit on data segment sizes, which seems kind of strange, but might be true. In any case the current approach works OK, and doesn't require root interaction, so is probably the better approach.
Added specialised port to OpenBSD (2.9). Many parts of the original code which were previously conditionalized on :FreeBSD, are now conditionalized on :BSD instead, with the :BSD feature now implying a 4.4BSD(lite2) derived OS. This should make future BSD-ports easier. FreeBSD and OpenBSD are differentiated by having either :FreeBSD or :OpenBSD on the features list. Currently the OpenBSD port does not have working ELF support, because OpenBSD 2.9 is still non-ELF by default. So don't put ELF on the features list when building for OpenBSD, or fix the code to work correctly in this case instead.
Cleanup compiler warnings.
o Add the command line switch -dynamic-space-size for setting the size of the dynamic space. DYNAMIC_SPACE_SIZE now defines the maximum size, and when defined DEFAULT_DYNAMIC_SPACE_SIZE gives the default. o Increase the maximum dynamic space size for Linux x86 to 1.625GB, with the default remaining at 512MB. o Define the default dynamic space size for FreeBSD x86 to also be 512MB, with a maximum of 2GB.
Use the value 0xffffffff to represent auto_gc_trigger disabled rather than zero, simplifying the trigger test.
Minor source cleanups.
Misc source cleanup.
Flush a verbose debug message that occurred rarely during code fixups.
Flush references to zero_stack as this has been handled by scrub-control-stack for some time.
Replace the PAGE_BYTES define with PAGE_SIZE, and use it where appropriate rather than the constant 4096. Remove uses of the variable last_used_page.
Portability fix for the signal masked check in alloc.
Improve the packing of information into the page table, reducing the table size by 25%, and move to a fixed layout of the page flags to better support future atomic operations for threaded code.
Source cleanup.
Few fixes for the page zero check in gc_free_heap; work around a gcc problem, and limit the range of pages to be checked.
Fix a bug in the page zero checking code of gc_free_heap.
Save and reset FP state during the execution of print_generation_stats. This is necessary when this function is called directly from the allocation routines on a failure and the FP state is setup for Lisp.
Add verify_zero_fill to verify that the free memory is zero filled; helping detect heap corruption. The check can be enabled during a heap verify via gencgc_enable_verify_zero_fill, or it can be called from lisp via the alien function gencgc_verify_zero_fill.
Make search_dynamic_space an external as it is need by purify. Make valid_dynamic_space_pointer a static local as a similarly name function is used by purify.
Enhance scavenge_thread_stacks to only scavenge the live portion of the saved stack vectors.
Take more care when scavenging the Lisp functions of the interrupt handlers, taking care to avoid SIG_DFL, and SIG_IGN which is equal to 1 on FreeBSD and looks like a forwarding point which causes trouble.
Further cleanup of the interrupts masked check in alloc. Cleanup the verbose messages, making them all dependent on the verbose level, and disable them all by default.
Add some pointer coercions to reduce the number of compiler warnings.
Disable a test in alloc that tested that interrupts were disabled in non-pseudo-atomic allocations, because this code has been debugged now and the test may not have been very portable.
Improve the efficiency of gc_free_heap by having it assume free pages are zero filled and not write protected which should be the case. Make more of the consistency checks conditional and disable them all.
Comment out verbose message in maybe_adjust_large_object.
Conservative generational garbage collection for the x86 port.
