The Stack is back on this Tuesday with a few things to talk about. Penalties have been brought to Penn State, training camps are opening up, and a few other headlines as well so let's get right to it and see what made "the stack" for today, Tuesday, July, 24:
Hammer comes down on Penn State
The annoucement came shortly after 9 AM ET Monday and NCAA President Mark Emmert brought the news that Penn State students, fans, alumni and everyone feared. The punishments include:
- $60 million fine
- Four-year postseason ban
- Loss of 20 total scholarships for a four-year period
- Five year probation for athletic department
- Vacate all wins from 1998 meaing Joe Paterno is now not the winningest coach in college football history. Former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden is. Paterno drops from 409 career wins to 298, good for 12th most all time.
Yeah, those are the penalties levied against the football program and the university. These are penalties the likes which we have never seen before. For the most part, Dr. Emmert and the NCAA got it right.
The fine is equivalent to what the football program would make in one year. Alright, that's fine with me.
A four-year postseason ban? As I said yesterday, I wanted at least five years if not ten, but I suppose four is a little more reasonable. And allowing the players to transfer immediately and keep their eligibility is a good thing. Congrats to the NCAA for making the smart choice on that one.
Losing twenty total scholarships per year for four years? That's fine. I would have gone for half, but again, was probably being a little over zealous. This seems like a far more reasonable number though they could have gone slightly higher to 25 or 30.
Probation for the athletic department seems fair.
Vacating all wins from 1998-2012, including six bowl wins and two conference championships? This one I don't get. Yes, the football program did things that no program or university should ever do. They turned a blind eye to children getting raped by a very sick man and former Penn State coach. Was the football program a little out of control and did Paterno have a little too much power? Perhaps. But, how did what was going on off the field have anything to do with what the players did on the field? The players had nothing to do with it. They don't today. Excluding his relationship with former players, Joe Paterno's moral fiber off the field holds little relevance to the fact that he was a great coach and did not cheat with his football program. This isn't an SMU like deal where players were getting paid. The players were not involved. Paterno was involved in that he cheated many young boys out of a innocent childhood while trying to protect his assistant and friend Jerry Sandusky and the image of the football program and the university. So I'm trying to understand why vacating the wins was such a necessity. I don't think it was. I will always remember Joe Paterno as the winningest coach in college football history, unless someone passes him. I don't see that happening anytime soon. This decision by the NCAA is a real head-scratcher.
The one penalty that I wish the NCAA would have handed down that they did not is to take Penn State off national television for at least one year, maybe two. No ESPN, ABC Fox Sports, nothing. The Big Ten Network can televise six of their games the first year and all of their games the second year, but since the BTN isn't a common household channel, that's not going to help too much. Natinoal television will continue to give the program exposure, whether positive or negative. You might say that some people won't watch Penn State if they're on ESPN because of the scandal and that is fine, but I think more people will just watch them if they're on because it's college football. The NCAA needed to take them off the airwaves for a year and failed to do so. If they don't receive any television revenue, then that's ok. But I would have liked to see both happen.
Your thoughts? Did the NCAA get it right?
I know plenty of students, faculty, former players disagree with the NCAA's ruling, but tough luck. Just because you don't want to remember Joe Paterno and think of him as a man who would turn a blind eye to such a horrible act does not mean that the univeristy shouldn't pay a steep price for what they did to cover this up. Unfortunately, people who had nothing to do with it will be affected. Such is life. Be happy the penalties weren't worse.
And if I hear another word from the Paterno family, I'm going to flip. Every decision that criticizes Paterno, you have a response for, saying that it isn't true. You wanted the truth, the facts to come out. Deal with it and the consequences of the decision(s) that your father, husband, friend, decided to cover up and do nothing about.
Ichiro traded to the Yankees
For twelve years, the only jersey Ichiro Suzuki ever donned was a Seattle Mariners one. That has now changed with the Mariners trading the 10-time all-star to the New York Yankees for a couple of pitching prospects. While he hasn't put up fantastic numbers in recent years, Ichiro is still a player who can slap one into the outfield and he can run the bases. He will improve the Yankees in that regard, giving them speed on the bases. He also gives them a good glove in the outfield. Again, he's not the same player that he used to be, but on a new team and in a pennant race, Ichiro will show flashes of brillaince in pinstripes.
Other trade news in baseball includes the Detroit Tigers getting second baseman Omar Infante and pitcher Anibal Sanchez from Miami for three players including a couple of minor league players. The Tigers are in it to win it this year and are hoping this move gets them to the top of the AL Central and makes them a dangerous team come October. For the Marlins, this was a year of promise. A new ballpark, new logo, new name, new manager and new expectations have brought about a disappointing year for the Marlins. Maybe next year.
And the Atlanta Braves are closing in on a deal to acquire pitcher Ryan Dempster from the Chicago Cubs. This would help the Braves push their way for the NL East title or a wild card birth. The NL has a lot of teams fighting for wild card position.
Several NFL first rounders sign
Training camps are nearing and some first round picks are making sure that they get to camp on time. The players that sign include:
- Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson (#3 overall) signed a 4-year $20.4 million deal, all guaranteed.
- Dallas Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne (#6 overall) signed a 4-year $16.26 million deal, all guaranteed.
- Detroit Lions offensive tackle Riley Reiff (#23 overall) signed a 4-year $7.993 million deal.
- Pittsburgh Steelers guard David DeCastro (#24 overall) signed a 4-year $7.814 million deal.
Expect more signings today.
Also one other big note to pass along from yesterday and that is that the Lions released troubled cornerback Aaron Berry after another incident over the weekend. Berry was expected to start in the Lions thin secondary, but his off-the-field behavior was not worth the roster spot. Good move by the Lions.
Arizona Cardinals open training camp
The Arizona Cardinals have embarked on their 2012-13 NFL season, starting training camp today at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. The Cardinals 2011-12 season was disappointing. They had several key injuries including rookie running back Ryan Williams who is expected to contribute significantly this season. Of course the division is a little more difficult with the San Francisco 49ers expected to have another strong year and Jeff Fisher taking over in St. Louis.
Position battle to watch: Quarterback. The Cardinals paid big money to Kevin Kolb and Kolb did not deliver last year. Sure he was injured as well, but the Cardinals need him to be the player they gave up so much for. John Skelton did a admirable job last year and the fans like him. Ken Whisenhunt needs both of these guys to step up.
Storyline 1: The quarterback battle. How these two look and push each other will be a forecast for Arizona's season this year.
Storyline 2: Which wide receivers will step up? Apart from Larry Fitzgerald, the Cardinals wide receivers aren't great. Rookie Michael Floyd is a big upgrade, but how much can you expect from the rookie right away? The Cardinals training camp is going to be an interesting one.
New Orleans Saints begin training camp
Has any team ever had a more tumultious offseason than the Saints this year? And it wasn't about players getting arrested. We're not here to talk about the bounty scandal, but it is a cloud that will hang over this season. Thank goodness the Saints begin training camp in Metairie, Louisiana to gve themselves and their fans a break. The season ended with much disappointment with the loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional playoffs. This year? It's anyone's guess.
Position battle to watch: Running back. The Saints enjoy a running back by committee system and it works. Chris Ivory, Darren Sproles, Pierre Thomas and Mark Ingram compliment each other nicely. But the Saints didn't draft Ingram to be part of the mix. A foot injury slowed him down. Will he take over in training camp, making a fellow running back a casualty?
Storyline 1: How does the coaching staff come together with the loss of Sean Payton? Seriously, who is the leader? Joe Vitt has been suspended for the first six games. The Saints are going to rely on Drew Brees more than they ever have before. He has got to be the coach on the field and make his presence even more known on the sidelines.
Storyline 2: Who's going to take the lead on defense? Jonathan Vilma being suspended the entire year is a problem. The Saints need someone on that defensive staff to take control. Will Smith, Jabari Greer, Roman Harper...I'm looking at you guys.
Oh by the way, the Cardinals and the Saints meet in the Hall-of-Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, Sunday, August 5 at 8:00 PM ET on the NFL Network.
More team previews in the next few days.
One more note to pass along from the NHL. The Columbus Blue Jackets have traded Rick Nash to the New York Rangers for for forwards Brandon Dubinsky, Artem Anisimov, defensive prospect Tim Erixon and a first-round draft pick in 2013. This gives the Rangers another offensive weapon and make them still the team to beat in the eastern conference. For the Blue Jackets, somehow they have got to try to get a winning team together to make it to the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. Good luck with that.
Coming up Wednesday: Reaction to top stories in sports plus more training camp previews.
Comments and suggestions on what to write about are always welcomed and appreciated.

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is the administrative unit for primary and secondary public education. Agency responsibilities include:
The TEA operational costs are supported by both state and federal funds.
The mission of the Texas Education Agency is to provide leadership, guidance and resources to help schools meet the educational needs of all students and prepare them for success in the global economy. The agency's mission statement is included in the current strategic plan.
The agency is headed by the Commissioner of Education, and is supported by a hierarchy of deputy commissioners, associate commissioners, division directors and agency staff. Agency structure is illustrated in the current Organizational Chart (PDF, 18 KB), and more information about agency divisions can be found on the TEA Divisions page.
The State Board of Education (SBOE) guides and monitors activities and programs related to public education in Texas. The SBOE consists of 15 elected members representing different regions of the state. One member is appointed chair by the governor.
The State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) oversees all aspects of the preparation, certification and standards of conduct of public school educators. There are 11 members on the board who are appointed by the governor, and three non-voting members. TEA provides staff support to the SBEC board.
The first Texas public school law was enacted in 1840, setting aside land in every county to support public schools, and the state constitution of 1845 provided that one-tenth of the annual state tax revenue be set aside as a perpetual fund to support free public schools. Today, Texas has 1,236 public school district and charters and more than 4.8 million students. State funding for these schools comes from the Permanent School Fund, which currently provides approximately $1 billion a year to local school districts (Read more about the history of public education in Texas).
The TEA is in the William B. Travis building at 1701 N. Congress Ave. Detailed contact information is listed on the Contact Us page of this website.

Berg talks energy policies at Cass County Electric CooperativeFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - Congressman Rick Berg is coming to the aid of small businesses, schools, farms and electric co-ops.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Congressman Rick Berg is coming to the aid of small businesses, schools, farms and electric co-ops. Berg introduced the Generator Regulatory Relief Act at Cass County Electric Cooperative this afternoon. The EPA is enforcing stricter pollution policies starting in 2013. Those policies would force organizations to buy federally regulated equipment. The Relief Act would exempt current generators used for emergency use or high demand from expensive retrofits.
Representative Rick Berg – (R) North Dakota: "It's to empower our states so we can make more decisions at the local level and not be dependent on the federal level. It's to grow the economy and it's to stop the over regulatory environment."
Berg says strict regulations are already in place for generators currently being used.

Simply the Best – Simply put this is the definition of fine dining. Great food and great service. It's a bit pricy, but it's worth every penny you spend. A+++++
Overpriced and Slow Service – Very average food that was way overpriced. Service was very slow and unattentive. Very small dining area with no views at all.
my favorite restaurant in america – I've been to all of the "top" restaurants in America, Charlie Trotters, The Herbfarm, Alinea, Mirimotos and I prefer Wing Lei to all of then. They only use the best ingredients and the flavors are great in every dish. I could just live on their potstickers. Nothin comparies to their Lemon chicken or Mongolian beef. It is unlike any chinese food you have ever had. And the chocolate dome is to die for.
Plus this is cheaper than any other 5-star restaurant you will find in vegas. Full dinner for 2 with drinks for under $200.
Elegant Wynn restaurant puts an American twist on traditional Chinese cuisine. – In Short
Inside, the elegant 152-seat dining room tables are topped with white linen and accompanied by velvet-covered chairs. Walls are decorated with an eclectic blend of maroon and gold colors, sculptures and vases sit on tiny shelves, and a rare, handcrafted black onyx bar fills one corner. Chef Richard Chen incorporates a Western flair to traditional Chinese cooking. Signature dishes include Peking duck and Szechwan chile prawns with garlic-spiked spinach.

Caribbean Cruise Ship Tourism and the Environment: a Policy Proposal
Abstract: Caribbean cruise ship tourism presents threats to the natural environment that are failing to be addressed by existing policy and enforcement mechanisms. An environmental tax in the form of a 'user fee' is proposed as an incentive-based policy instrument. The two-fold effects would be 1) the capture of more economic rent for Caribbean destinations' natural resources, and 2) a reduction of the environmentally harmful activity of mass cruise ship tourism in the area.
1. Cruise ships and the environment: the state of the situation
The cruise industry is a sector of tourism with two characteristics that are important to understanding its environmental impact: its rate of growth and spatial concentration in the Caribbean Sea. This rapid rate of growth combined with the tendency to concentrate on or near ecologically dynamic coastal environments (many of which are considered biodiversity hotspots) in the Caribbean raise important policy questions about how to preserve the natural resources upon which the industry depends.
In terms of measuring the size and growth of the cruise industry, different sources use different indicators, including number of passengers, number of beds, number of ships, etc. but all agree that cruise tourism is one major growth area of the travel industry. By one measure, cruise tourism as a global phenomenon has demonstrated an 8% annual growth rate since 1980 (Johnson, 2002) which is around double the growth rate of tourism overall. A cruise industry overview notes that 22 new state-of-the-art ships were contracted to be added to the North American fleet in 2009 (FCCA, 2009). The newest cruise ships are bigger and bigger. They rely on cutting edge technological features as well as economies of scale. In some destinations and ports of call, issues of congestion have emerged, and the environmental carrying capacity of the entire Caribbean region is being questioned.

In the early nineteenth century, literary magazines published in the North, such as Harper's, set the tone for American literary dialogue. To capitalize on the relatively untapped market of southern readers, several editors attempted to establish similar journals in the South. But most of these journals failed quickly, in large part because there were fewer southern readers, and those who did read preferred the better-established northern magazines.
In 1842, after suffering a stroke, White sold the Messenger to Benjamin Blake Minor (1818–1905), a Richmond attorney. Under Minor the journal shifted from chiefly literary content to primarily political and historical issues, publishing a long series on Virginia history, Captain John Smith's A True Relation (1608), essays on military strategies and diplomacy, and defenses of slavery. In 1845 Minor acquired William Gilmore Simms' Southern and Western Monthly Magazine and merged it with the Messenger, briefly using the convoluted title Southern and Western Literary Messenger and Review. In 1847 Minor took a teaching position at the Virginia Female Institute in Staunton, Virginia, and sold the journal to John Reuben Thompson.
In 1860, when Thompson became editor of Southern Field and Fireside, and a physician, George W. Bagby took over the journal, the Southern Literary Messenger became a propagandistic organ of southern seccessionism. Severing all ties with the northern literary establishment, Bagby published "purely Southern articles … that smack of the soil," as he wrote in his June 1860 "Editor's Table." During the American Civil War (1861–1865), the journal published accounts of battles, and criticized both the North and the Confederate government, especially its president, Jefferson Davis. As economic conditions deteriorated in Virginia during the war, the journal ceased publication in 1864.
Time Line
1834 - The Southern Literary Messenger, one of the most successful and influential literary magazines in the antebellum South, is founded by Thomas Willis White.
1835 - John Pendleton Kennedy encourages Edgar Allan Poe to apply for an assistant editor position at the Southern Literary Messenger, a Richmond-based magazine founded the previous year by Thomas Willis White. Poe receives the job and is soon promoted to editor.
January 1837 - Edgar Allan Poe leaves his job as editor of the Southern Literary Messenger and moves north, working in various editorial posts, most notably at Graham's Magazine in Philadelphia.
1842 - The Southern Literary Messenger is sold to Benjamin Blake Minor, after Thomas White suffers a stroke.
1845 - The Southern Literary Messenger acquires Southern and Western Monthly Magazine.
1847 - The Southern Literary Messenger is sold to John Reuben Thompson.
June 1860 - George William Bagby is named editor of the Southern Literary Messenger and uses the journal to promote Southern secessionism before and during the Civil War.
1864 - The Southern Literary Messenger ceases publication as economic conditions deteriorate in Virginia during the American Civil War.

Well my son is about to be four months old and he cries in the car seat all the time. I have been looking and researching convertible car seats because he has grown out of his. Any suggestions? I just want something safe and comfortable so maybe he wont hate the car. Money is not a problem.
My favorite are Britax. I have a Marathon and a Decathalon. I don't think they make the Decathalon anymore. My son was also big. He weighed 18lbs at 3 1/2 months. That is when we put him in the Britax. It is so super cushy and has a wide range for weight. You can use it rear-facing and then forward face it until time for a booster seat.
The downside to this brand is the price. However, it really does last many years.
Number one key is safety. But after that - look into comfort. Head support, adjustable straps (between the legs as well as the shoulders), reclinable v. stationary, etc. I would suggest you take him with you and make a game of sitting in several of the display models. Don't do it for too long as that will get tedious fast and make him cranky I'm sure, you can always go to another part of the store and try more of them later. But that should certainly help get and idea for what type he likes the best.
I would also suggest looking into something other reasons he may be unhappy before buying an expensive new seat. Is he bored (bring a favorite toy or some games/snacks), can he see you well enough from his seat (set up a mirror or adjust his seat), it may even be motion sickness (but you should see a pediatrician to determine something like that).
The only thing to worry about is really durability and longevity. There are a number of transitional carseats but some only go to so big then you have to buy another booster as the laws continue to change. It's years away yes, but see if the transitional seat turns into a booster. I have 2 boys 3 and 5 and have 6 car seats. It was 7 until the airline broke it. 2 carriers 2 high back boosters with straps 1 unassisted booster and 1 infant to toddler carseat. make sure you read ALL of the specifications before you purchase it can be daunting but with so many choices its got to be done. Let me know if you need anymore help.

RMH Receives $3.1 Million Grant to Help At-Risk Families
By Debra Thompson @12:09 PM
Views: 4309
Contact: Debra Thompson
Director, RMH Corporate Communications
RMH Community Health has been awarded a 5-year, $3.1 million grant from the federal department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children and Families to facilitate support for families challenged by substance abuse issues.
The grant will support the Central Shenandoah Valley Family Partnership's efforts to help families in danger of having children removed from their homes because of substance abuse by a caregiver. As fiscal agent, RMH will oversee administration of the grant to ensure completion of the partnership's 5-year action plan, including the goal to reduce the number of children placed outside the home by 10 percent annually.
The Central Shenandoah Valley Family Partnership was one of 17 new projects funded nationwide.
"RMH is honored to join local organizations represented in the Central Shenandoah Valley Family Partnership to address and improve outcomes for families affected by substance abuse in our region," said Kay Harrison, vice president, Business Development.
The grant will allow
RMH Behavioral Health
to employ two additional substance abuse specialists to serve families in Page, Shenandoah, Augusta, Highland and Bath counties. The grant will also allow placement of an additional substance abuse specialist at the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Community Services Board to work with families in Harrisonburg and Rockingham. These substance abuse specialists will be able to visit participating families in the home, reducing transportation barriers to families receiving help.
The grant is the largest awarded to RMH in its 100-year history.
Substance abuse was identified as a major concern for the Valley in the
2012 RMH Community Health Needs Assessment
. The assessment showed that the region has a high teen birth rate; higher than average placement of children in foster care; and high rates of founded child abuse and neglect.
Funding from this grant will allow approximately 1,000 family assessments to be completed annually. Also, 350 families will receive support through evidence-based home visiting programs in the Central Virginia Shenandoah Valley region.
"RMH Community Health is excited to provide leadership for this important project," said Katie Montgomery,
RMH Community Health
Manager. "Our community has a strong history of supporting families in the Central Shenandoah Valley. This grant will provide additional resources and training for our community partners, enabling us to better serve families and improve home environments for children."
The service area for this grant includes the cities of Harrisonburg, Staunton and Waynesboro and the counties of Rockingham, Page, Luray, Augusta, Bath, Rockingham and Highland.

Once again, the snow is melting. But once again, don't put the shovels away: the weekend could bring more snow to the Winchester area.
A new snowstorm is headed our way for Saturday and Sunday, forecasters say, and Winchester could see 8 to 12 inches of new snow before it's done.
On his blog, WHDH meteorologist Pete Bouchard is calling for light rain along the coast Saturday with snow inland and snow across the region by Sunday morning.
"Heavy snow through early morning Sunday. Roads will be tough to travel, and yes, your flight will most likely be delayed or cancelled. (Although I don't run an airline, so I'll let them have the final word.)," Bouchard writes.

I have an AsRock 775i945gz Motherboard with a Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz Processor (E4500), 2GB DDR2 memory, a 250GB SATA Hard Drive and a IDE DVD Burner. I have been trying to boot the retail Leopard disk on it using boot-132 with no luck. I tried the original image, added the dsmos.kext and reburned it, both of those just rebooted my machine after switching resolution (last line on screen was dsmos.kext: Starting... which could only be read through a video recorded of the boot since it flashed so quick). I tried a pack of images for boot-132 (included Basic, Generic, Alternate, and several others as well as Parted Magic) and none of them worked.
I really want to be able to boot this native because it is a pain to have to download a 4GB+ image (Kalyway, Leo4All, iAKTOS, etc) on my slow connection (256kbit) when I have a retail DVD sitting in front of me. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Had to enable CPU NX/XD bit in BIOS, then the link below worked great (boot-132 would probably work too, but was not tested.)

Parker Causer, a first-grader in teacher Julie Boyer's room, beams as he poses for Accelerated Reader (AR) 100 Club recognition outside his classroom at the Kane Elementary School. Currently, he really likes frog books. Parker also enjoys gym, library visits and classroom "energizers." He frequently watches "I Carly" and "Spongebob" and fills up on his favorite food -- pizza.
The Kane High School Band performed Tuesday evening at the Spring Concert at the school auditorium. This group of band members includes, left to right, seated: Dan Hanson, trumpet; Will Keesler, trumpet; Mitch Kumher, alto saxophone; and Melia Brocious, flute; standing: Dominic Sirianni, soprano saxophone; Joe Thornburg, band director; and Joe Hanson, baritone saxophone. All students in the group are seniors who performed in their final concert.
The orchestra performed seven musical selections Tuesday evening at the Kane High School Spring Concert at the school auditorium. Henry Sobieski (center), orchestra director, poses with the two senior members of the orchestra-- Jennifer Compton (left) and Alyse Nystrom (right), both violinists. Compton also played the trombone at the concert as a member of the Kane High School Band.
Ed Fisher of Mt. Jewett is shown with the gobbler he shot earlier this month while hunting in Hamlin Township. The turkey weighed 20 pounds. The gobbler has a 7-inch beard and 3/4-inch spurs.
The Kane girls 4X400 relay team had one of the best performances of the day, according to Coach Jim Sirianni. Shown on the podium after their third place finish are, from left to right, Dawn Saquin, Audrey Perry, Chanda Paup and Kelsey Johnson.
Although second-grader Chase Nelson claims recess and spelling are his favorite school subjects, reading is not far behind. He recently read and tested on over 100 books in the Kane Elementary School's specialized reading comprehension program to qualify as an Accelerated Reader. While he loves football books, Chase has also enjoyed numerous books in the "Arthur" series by Marc Brown. He spends much of his time outside school playing games on his computer or football outside when weather permits.
Alex Lindquist joins the ranks of the Accelerated Reader (AR) 100 Club at the Kane Elementary School. In school, he focuses intently on reading football books, particularly on the Philadelphia Eagles and honing his math skills under the direction of his teacher, Pam Karlene. Alex rounds out his day by playing football on his Wii.
Kane High School students pose with the shed they built during carpentry class at the Vern Johnson Vo-Ag Center at the school. The students, all seniors, include, left to right: Sean Welch, Dave Swanson, Marty Niklas, Dan Hanson, Martin Ross, Del Cleer, Josh Ishman and Mike Shrubb. Brandon Kowatch was not present when the photo was taken. Jack Detrick is the instructor for the class, which each year builds a shed using skills learned in the school carpentry program. The 8x12-foot wooden shed sits on treated 4x4 skids.
Why were there over 75 umbrellas set up behind the Kane Area Elementary School last week? For a 5th grade art project. Temporary environmental art to be exact.
Based on the art of Christo (he is famous for building a cloth fence over 24 miles long across California & also for surrounding islands in Florida with pink cloth) the entire 5th grade class displayed their "umbrella art" and had it photographed. This was done under the direction of volunteer parent, Anne Cleer, and the 5th grade teachers Mrs. Zeigler, Mrs. Grolemund, Ms. Counts, and Mr. Zimmerman.
These are some of the 45 participants in the ninth annual Great Strides Walk to raise money for the fight against cystic fibrosis (CF). Six teams of walkers covered the five-mile course and raised $6,000. Carl Wilson of Kane served as chairman of the Great Strides Walk. The event is held in memory of Shawn Wilson of Kane, who died of CF seven years ago.

Concurrency and Map-Reduce Strategies in Various Programming Languages
Professor Richard Brown, St. Olaf College
This concept module explores how concurrency and parallelism have been established in programming languages and how one can implement map-reduce in several high-level programming languages taught in a CS curriculum, including Scheme, C++, Java, and Python.
Multicore Programming with OpenMP
Richard Brown; Elizabeth Shoop
In this lab, we will create a program that intentionally uses multi-core parallelism, upload and run it on the MTL, and explore the issues in parallelism and concurrency that arise. This module uses OpenMP.
Multi-core programming with Intel's Manycore Testing Lab (using Threading Building Blocks)
Professor Richard Brown, St. Olaf College
Intel Corporation has set up a special remote system that allows faculty and students to work with computers with lots of cores, called the Manycore Testing Lab (MTL). In this lab, we will create a program that intentionally uses multi-core parallelism, upload and run it on the MTL, and explore the issues in parallelism and concurrency that arise.
Map-reduce Computing for Introductory Students using WebMapReduce
Professor Richard Brown, St. Olaf College Professor Libby Shoop, Macalester College
This module emphasizes data-parallel problems and solutions, the so-called 'embarrassingly parallel' problems where processing of input data can easily be split among several parallel processes. Students use a web application called WebMapReduce (WMR) to write map and reduce functions that operate on portions of a massive dataset in parallel.
Drug Design Exemplar
Richard Brown
An important problem in the biological sciences is that of drug design: finding small molecules, called ligands, that are good candidates for use as drugs. We introduce the problem and provide several different parallel solutions, in the context of parallel program design patterns.

Metro hopes to put all 2,500 of its bus drivers through a revamped customer service training by the end of 2014, The Washington Post reports.
Though all drivers receive a customer service training when they first begin with Metro, the new training serves as a refresher course. Since the new training begin in October, 600 drivers have taken the course, which is taught by supervisor and trainer Roger Langston — a bus driver of 20 years, the Post reports.
The training is partially a response to recent violence against bus drivers—like rock throwing and a stabbing. It is also meant to reduce the number of complaints the agency has received about bus drivers — more than 7,500 complaints over four years, according to the Post.
What do you think? Is customer service training a good idea for bus drivers? Tell us about a good or bad experience you have had with a bus driver. Speak out in the comments.

Second year of the "Become a Blood Donor!" campaign increased the number of new donors by close to 4000! (Translation)
27 September 2010
The Become a Blood Donor! campaign, which took place from June 12th until August 13th was organized in 45 Czech hospitals. Based on the evaluation of the hospitals, the campaign reached its goal in its second year. After six months, hospitals saw a 77% increase in the number of donors. The total number of blood donations during the campaign increased by 3,830, in comparison with last year's campaign in July and August, an increase of 14.23%.* All hospitals considered the campaign to be successful and they would welcome it if it remained in place in the coming years. This data is from a survey which the organizers conducted with participants. Organizers were: Společnost pro transfuzní lékařství ČLS JEP (Company for transfusion medicine ČLS JEP) and the Birell brand.
"Currently, there are 293,000 registered donors in Czech Republic; however, in order to reach the optimal state, we are missing approximately another 128,000. That is why we welcome every campaign which aims to attract the general public's attention to the fact that Czech Republic does not have enough blood donors and what is worse, a large number of donors are getting older," Vít Řeháček, MD, says about the campaign. Vít Řeháček is the chairman of the Association for Transfusion Medicine of the Czech Medical Association JEP.
Besides the fact that current registered donors are getting older, a big problem is the fact that we aren't able to attract a sufficient number of new donors. This whole situation is made worse by plasma centres, which motivate donors with a financial reward. This situation is especially critical in large cities, where we currently lack the largest number of donors. Other reasons for the decline in voluntary donors are an unwillingness to release employees to give blood or due to general fear of giving blood. "This gloomy situation about blood donors brought us last year to an idea to prepare the Become a Blood Donor! campaign. With the help of this campaign, we wanted to especially bring attention to this problem, which could get even worse in the future and we wanted to provide the general public with all necessary information and thereby erase all the myths tied to this subject. Due to the fact that both last year and this year the campaign was very successful, we don't see a reason why we should not organize a campaign next year," Martina Kuncová, Manager of the Birell brand said of the campaign.
The main point of the Become a Blood Donor! campaign was that everybody who during the campaign gave blood (and after, until reserves ran out) at one of the participating 45 donor centres, would receive a can of non-alcoholic beer, Birell, together with an information kit about being a donor and a plea to forward the material to his/her co-workers who aren't blood donors. All those interested could then find out under which circumstances and how many times a year they can donate blood, about what to eat before giving blood and what to do so that their body has a speedy recovery after a blood donation.
A great help in the regeneration process after a blood donation is non-alcoholic beer, which has a number of beneficiary agents and nutrients. That is why a can of Birell, which each donor received, helped to quickly replenish necessary fluids and nutrients after a blood donation.
* The results are based on data received from 43 donor centres
Overview of survey results:
45 hospitals participated in the campaign.
The percentage of returned surveys was 95.56%, which means that 43 hospitals provided answers.
33 hospitals, 76.74%, noted in the course of the campaign an increase in the number of donors in comparison with monthly totals from July and August 2009.
24 hospitals, 55.81% of hospitals, noted in the course of the campaign an increase in the number of first-time donors in comparison with monthly totals from July and August 2009.
The number of donors who in the course of the campaign came to donate blood increased among participating hospitals in comparison with monthly totals from July and August 2009 from 26,910 donors to a total of 30,740 donors, an increase of 3,830 donors. This means a 14.23% increase.
The number of first time donors who in the course of the campaign came to donate blood increased among participating hospitals in comparison with monthly totals from July and August 2009 from 1,670 donors to a total of 1,702 donors, an increase of 32 donors. This means a 1.91% increase. *
All 43 responding hospitals, or 100%, voiced an interest in participating in the campaign next year.
All 43 responding hospitals, or 100%, voiced satisfaction with holding the campaign next year.
* The number of first-time donors is false (in reality the number was higher), since some hospitals did not indicate in the survey the numbers of first-time donors at all or did not indicate a number for August 2010. Some hospitals also experienced shutdowns during the campaign; the number of donors who did not come due to a shutdown was proportionate to the time of the shutdown.
Selected comments by representatives from participating hospitals:
"The average number of visits for a voluntary blood donation outside of the summer season was approximately 1450 to 1600 donors per month. The summer season used to be approximately 200 to 250 fewer donors. This informative campaign "Become a Blood Donor!" mobilized last year's current donors so that they came to donate in the summer months and also attracted a considerable number of new donors. In July and in August of 2007-2008, we registered only about 70 donors per month. This year's informative campaign probably also improved general knowledge of donors and we noted a lower percentage of those who could not come for a blood donation due to various current health problems. "
Head physician, Růžena Herynková, MD, Fakultní nemocnice Plzeň (University hospital Plzeň)
"The campaign was very well organized and successful. Donors appreciated a nice refreshment after a donation and we appreciated that they came in larger numbers. This goes for both regular donors and first time donors. "
Head physician, Jitka Kracíková, MD, Fakultní nemocnice (University hospital) Královské Vinohrady
"The Department of Transfusions at the Institute of Haematology and Blood Transfusion (IHBT) wants to thank the organizers for this campaign for voluntary blood donors, who deserve everybody's appreciation. Blood donors were in general very nicely surprised by the beer present, especially on hot days. We also appreciated the preparation of a leaflet filled with clear information. We would like to thank all blood donors especially in the name of our patients who without help from the donors could not be treated with transfusions, which they need. Usually, after announcements in the media, the number of new donors increases. We are looking forward to seeing a majority of them again."
docent MD. Zdenka Gašová, CSc, Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion
"We consider the campaign to be successful because every expression of support to donors in their decision to come to the Department of Transfusions to donate what belongs only to them, what cannot be reproduced, what saves lives, is welcome."
Head physician, Dana Galuszková, MD, Ph.D., MBA, Fakultní nemocnice (University Hospital) lomouc
"Our transfusion department and blood and plasma donors, we all are very happy that we could participate in this campaign. Donors appreciated the non-alcoholic beverage, especially on hot days."

Contrary to what the name implies, Zombie Driver HD is not a racing game starring a daredevil zombie behind the wheel. Instead it's a game about a guy who drives from place to place picking up people during a zombie outbreak. Sure, I guess that make more sense. But seriously, how much cooler would it have been to see a zombie kart racer?
If you have to ask why there are zombies roaming the streets, then it's because you haven't played a video game recently. This is yet another game where the protagonist kills countless rotting dead corpses who, thanks to an explosion at the chemical factory, have started walking around feeding on brains. The good news is that Zombie Driver tackles this all too familiar set-up in a fresh way.
At first glance, Zombie Driver looks a whole lot like Grand Theft Auto 2. It's a top-down open world experience, not unlike Rockstar's controversial action game. That's where the similarities end. In this game, the player always stays in their car and there are never moments of grand theft auto. In fact, this Xbox Live Arcade game is more akin to a game like Carmageddon or Twisted Metal.
Don't worry; your vehicle is heavily armed. Each of the game's numerous vehicles can shoot a variety of explosive weapons. Around the city you'll find weapon drops that include automatic guns, a flame thrower, missile launcher, rail gun and more. But don't get too comfortable, because it's easy to run out of weapons. Even after purchasing weapon upgrades, you'll still have to stay cautious of your ammo.
With few exceptions, your goal in each stage is to drive through the hordes of zombies in order to rescue the few survivors still clinging on to life. Usually you'll need to clear the area of zombies first, which may include destroying a nest. Sometimes there will be more survivors than your little car can hold, so you'll need to make multiple trips through the walking dead.
Not all missions play out like this. Occasionally you'll commandeer a tank and tackle a boss fight. One stage you'll drive around in a fire truck making sure the entire city doesn't burn down. Yet another mission involves you driving a large bulldozer and clearing debris from the main roads. Sadly, this type of variety is rare. Usually you're saving people, which can become a bit tedious as you play through the lengthy story mode.
To the developer's credit, they did find new and unique ways of saving people. Some stages are set at night, limiting your vision to whatever is in the view of your headlights. Not only does this make for some incredible lighting effects, but it also makes battling hordes of zombies insanely tough. This, and other quirks, help make the repetitive missions a little easier to swallow.
Each of the 31 missions has a secondary objective, something that will net the player bonus money or, if you're lucky, new vehicles. An early example has you fighting off a mob zombies attacking the Mayor's estate. If you're victorious you'll earn a brand new ride, a very classy limousine. Other bonus missions are as simple as beating a level in a set amount of time or killing a large amount of zombie dogs. Players should beware, some of these optional objectives are tough, and if you die you'll have to start the whole mission over from the beginning.
Cars play a big role in Zombie Driver HD. Players start with a taxi, a reliable vehicle that can seat up to four civilians. The seating is important, since you'll often be asked to pick up a six to ten people. There's a sports car that is fast, but it only seats three people. The limousine seats six people, but it's difficult to maneuver and is ridiculously slow. Eventually you'll earn better rides, like the ambulance and the 48-seat bus.
With only a few exceptions, most levels give you enough time and incentive to roam the city looking for secrets. Mostly you'll pick up money, which you can use to upgrade your weapons and vehicles. It's also interesting to see how much work went into building this city. You'll stumble upon a surprising amount of hidden alleyways and shortcuts. Although I did get tired of the drab colors and grim tone (perhaps unavoidable in a game about a zombie apocalypse), I found the city to be a lot of fun to explore.
Zombie Driver HD is not a remake of the 2009 PC game. At the same time, it's not exactly a sequel. Think of this as the game EXOR Studios wanted to make all along. The basic story remains the same, though they have spent the last three years fleshing it out. With 31 missions to play through, this Xbox Live Arcade game is significantly longer than the original. The developers have also added secondary objectives, new weapons and a variety of mission types.
As the "HD" suggests, Zombie Driver looks better than the 2009 original. The game is full of impressive weather effects, from torrential thunderstorms to foggy mornings. The city is alive with new animations from the undead horde. Now there are moving tanks and helicopters taking off, you'll see soldiers fighting off zombies and birds feeding on corpses. Other tweaks include adding more zombie voices, enhancing the soundtrack and reworking the sound effects. Needless to say, this is the definitive version of Zombie Driver.
On top of the lengthy story, players will find a completely separate racing mode. Here they'll play various racing events in order to earn money to pick up new cars and purchase upgrades. Although not as fully realized as the main campaign, this racing mode is a lot of fun. The races allow you to use weapons, so destroying the cars ahead of you suddenly becomes an option. Some races are all about shooting down other cars, while others want you to stay alive as long as possible. There are several tournaments to take part in, as well as single races to replay for cash. It's a fun diversion from the single-player story.
Between the various game modes, you'll find a good ten to fifteen hours' worth of gameplay in Zombie Driver HD. That's not bad for a ten dollar game. Unfortunately, too many of the levels play out the same way and I started to fatigue on the premise by the end. This is a fun variation on Choplifter and gamers who spend ten dollars won't feel cheated. There are a lot of great ideas in Zombie Driver that hint at bigger, better games in EXOR Studios' future.

Chris Swift, a native of southern California, assumed the head coaching reigns of Greenville's three-time NCAA national tournament participant men's soccer program in 2013. Swift also serves as GC's assistant women's soccer coach.
Coming fresh from a stint as an assistant women's soccer coach at two NCAA Division I institutions (Eastern Kentucky and Lamar University), Swift brings 11 years of coaching experience -- five at the collegiate level and six in high schools.
A 2006 graduate of Vanguard University in California, Swift holds four coaching certifications -- USSF "C" License, NSCAA National Diploma, USSF National Youth License, and NSCAA Regional Goalkeeping Diploma.
Swift joined the Eastern Kentucky Colonels after spending three seasons as an assistant coach at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. In his first year at Eastern Kentucky, the team finished 10-7-3, posting the first winning record in program history, and setting school records for overall wins, conference victories (six), goals, assists, points and shots. The Colonels went undefeated at home for the first time in program history, posting a home record of 8-0-1. The 2012 team also earned a fifth consecutive berth in the OVC Tournament, the longest active postseason streak in the conference.
Lamar improved all three years that Swift was a member of the coaching staff. The culmination occurred in 2011 when the Lady Cardinals enjoyed the most successful season in the five-year history of the program, setting school records for victories (eight) and conference victories (six) while earning the No. 3 seed in the Southland Conference Tournament. Six Lady Cardinals earned all-conference honors following the breakout season.
Swift used his connections in California to recruit several key members of Lamar's record-breaking 2011 team, including two all-conference selections.
Swift was also instrumental in Lamar's high academic standards while he was there, resulting in two Lady Cardinals being named second team Capital One Academic All-District in 2011.
Aside from recruiting and academics, Swift was also in charge of training, video breakdown, camps and community service while at Lamar.
Before arriving at Lamar, Swift was an assistant coach/goalkeepers coach at his alma mater, Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, Calif., from 2008-09. Swift played goalkeeper at Vanguard from 2002-06 and recorded 138 saves and four shutouts during his career. He earned his bachelor's degree in history and political science.
Swift also possesses several years of club coaching experience, serving as an assistant coach for the Slammers Football Club from 2004-06, the United Futbol Club from 2006-09 and as the goalkeepers coach for the Los Angeles Legends Football Club in 2009.
He and his wife, Marissa, reside in Greenville.

'Dinosaur' glows on Jorgensen stage
Published: Monday, April 23, 2012
Updated: Friday, August 23, 2013 18:08
The Jorgensen Center for Performing Arts held their last show for the season called "Darwin the Dinosaur: A Glow in the Dark Adventure" that lit up the theater with an array of colors yesterday afternoon.
There was a special stag set up that was completely painted black in front of the main stage. This special stage allowed for the lighting effects to more vibrant during the show.
Using a series of special lights called electroluminescent wires the show displayed many different dinosaurs, fish and even flowers using these lights. The performers all dressed in black ran around the stage and created a spectacular display of color. Although they reveled themselves at the end during curtain call they still vanished into the darkness of the stage to perform one last dance using the animals.
There were no words spoken during the show but only loud music to convey emotions and explain the details of the story. The story of Darwin the Dinosaur consisted of an unusual character who created Darwin. However Darwin is soon lost in the wild. His creator is desperate to find him while Darwin encounters a series of different creatures. Along his adventure he comes across a gangly ostrich that teaches him to dance. He also finds some flowers that are accompanied with quirky music.
Where there is an innocent dinosaur there is always a mean, scary and a very large T-Rex who takes out anything in his path. He has a random Star Wars light saber battle with Darwin that consisted of slow-mo moves typically found in "The Matrix" towards the end of the show, which the audience didn't see coming.
There were two very large dinosaurs that took up most of the stage and pterodactyls that looked as if they were flying into the audience. There were many kids in attendance that were wowed at the many colors displayed as well as the brightness of the show. They also had the opportunity to play a few dinosaur related games before the show began in honor of the last Children's Series Event of the year.
There were two matinees shows of "Darwin the Dinosaur" that began at 1 and 3 p.m. The show had equal parts of body puppetry, dance, and the light show. The creators of the show were Ian Carney and Corbin Popp who met on Broadway. They managed to engineer a show all the while thinking of how to create light weight and flexible characters that wouldn't be too much of a strain on the actors.
"Darwin the Dinosaur" and the rest of The Jorgensen Children's Series were sponsored by Bank of America.

How volunteering can build your nursing resumé
Whether you're a nursing student or have worked in the profession for decades, volunteer services can be a career boost.
"Some people think that just because you're not getting paid, it doesn't count as work experience," says Angie Strawn, associate dean of the University of Phoenix Division of Nursing. "We are nurses 24/7 — and not just in terms of nursing skills, but also our values. Volunteering is part of that."
Here, our experts explain how serving your community can pay off:
You can treat it like a job.
"I always tell nursing students who are putting together their first professional resumés to include all of their work experience, and that includes volunteering," says Liz Dietz, EdD, a nurse practitioner and nursing program instructor at the University of Phoenix Bay Area Campus.
Dietz has worked as an American Red Cross disaster relief volunteer for more than 30 years, and also lends her time to nonprofit nursing associations and local public health groups. She recommends nurses of all levels volunteer wherever they can.
"Describe volunteer work on your resumé like you would any job, and list the organizations you served like employers," she notes.
Darlene Bradley, PhD, nursing instructor at the University of Phoenix Southern California Campus, agrees. "As a nurse administrator, I look for volunteerism on the resumé," she says. She recommends getting involved in professional associations, teaching first aid and CPR in the community, and conducting free health screenings at local events.
You'll gain experience.
Whether your goal is to travel abroad or learn a new nursing specialty, volunteer programs can expand your horizons, according to Bradley.
"As a student nurse, I volunteered at a [domestic violence] shelter," she notes. "That led to my interest in emergency care," as well as her role as a forensic nurse for sexual assault victims. Meanwhile, her work as a volunteer CPR teacher led her to become an advanced life support nurse instructor, both in U.S. hospitals and abroad in Cambodia, China, Russia, Spain, Italy, France and other nations.
It lets you explore other disciplines.
If your goal is to make the jump into management, volunteering in non-nursing capacities can help develop the administrative skills you need, according to Dietz.
"Working on a political or fundraising campaign can teach you a lot about Microsoft® Office, data management, conference calls and written communication," she says. "Read your local newspaper to find out what organizations are looking for help. Then offer your services."
Strawn believes her non-nursing volunteer work was essential to her career success. "I was an RA [resident assistant] in my college dorm, and also did statistics and coaching for my kids' sports teams," she explains. "Volunteering helped give me the confidence I needed to step into leadership roles later on."
You'll continue to learn new things.
Community service is an integral part of the nursing profession, according to Bradley, and something nurses should do throughout the entire span of their careers.
"As volunteers, nurses have the opportunity to [help others] while learning more about their specialties," she says. "I have been a nurse for many years. I continue to learn, and much of my learning comes from [volunteering]."

Parent Directory | Revision Log
|Links to HEAD:
|(view) (annotate)
|Sticky Tag:
Use lowtag_Bits -1 instead a hard-wired 2.
Merge changes from utf16 branch to update to snapshot 2008-12.
Merge Snapshot 2008-12 to this branch. Some tweaks needed in boot-2008-05-cross-unicode-x86.lisp and the Config files. FreeBSD and Darwin/x86 untested, but Linux and Solaris build ok.
Merge in SSE2 changes from sse2-packed-branch (tag sse2-packed-2008-11-12).
Initial support for x87 and sse2 cores with one binary. More support still needed, though. lisp/Linux-os.c: o Add os_support_sse2 function to tell if the chip supports SSE2 or not. lisp/arch.h: o Change declaration for arch_init to match Linux implementation. (Eventually, we'll get rid of this.) lisp/lisp.c: o Add fpu_mode variable o Recognize -fpu switch to allow the user to select the desired FPU mode. o Call arch_init with the fpu mode. lisp/x86-arch.c: o Use the fpu mode to select the name of the core file. lisp/x86-assem.S: o Add have_sse2 global variable. o If have_sse2 is set, we copy the float result in ST(0) to XMM0.
Remove some unused code
#ifdef out lowtag_Bits, type_Bits, and friends. They should be created by genesis now and are placed in internals.h.
Mega commit to bring RELENG_18 branch in sync with HEAD in preparation for release tagging 18d.
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.
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.
This set of revisions brings the RELENG_18 branch up to HEAD in preparation for an 18c release.
Remove alpha and __alpha__ defines hack. Such defines are more appropriately included in the CFLAGS.
Changes for Linux running on Alpha. From: Julian Dolby <firstname.lastname@example.com> Enclosed below are diffs against the cvs repository as of Feb 12; aside from minor changes like using different include files (e.g. validate.h instead of x86-validate.h in Linux-os.c) and adding alpha-linux specifics unix-glibc2.lisp, there are two code changes. The first is to signal handling. I had to put the POSIX-SIGS ifdefs into places used by alpha but not by x86, and I ifdef'ed out most of the linux #define kludges for signals for alpha linux, since alpha linux uses OSF/1 signals rather than linux ones. The second is that the trick of or'ing 2 into the reg_ALLOC address to cause faults does not work on alpha linux since the kernel traps and handles the unaligned access; I did not find a way to change that kernel behavior, so I changed the code to or (1<<63) into the address to cause a seg fault, and then check, in the seg fault handler, to see if the high-order address bits are set. One change I made is to the memory layout (lisp/alpha-validate.h and compiler/alpha/parms.lisp); that change is not needed to make lisp run on alpha linux, but is there because I wanted more heap space.
This (huge) revision brings the RELENG_18 branch up to the current HEAD. Note code/unix-glib2.lisp not yet included -- not sure it is ready to go.
Merge from 1.4.
I just finished making load-foreign work on SGIs, along with fixing calling of foreign functions taking floating-point arguments after integer arguments but before the fourth argument (more or less; mips has unusual C calling conventions), and making cmucl work on IRIX 6.2 on the Onyx (where the system page size has changed). I've included the patches below, along with some discussion of the changes and a couple of problems with cmucl's interaction with dynamic loading. Also, there's a misc change to make ioctls work (I'm not sure for what version the released code worked, but it doesn't work on anything I have). The patches do not fix the R10000; cmucl continues to not work on it (O2 and Octane). The fixes make cmucl on the sgi use shared libraries so it can use dlopen et al in load-foreign; this is based on the solaris implementation. The problem with this is that the addresses of foreign variables are included directly in the dumped lisp image (without relocation on loading), which might result in a problem if cmucl is run with newer shared libraries than those it was compiled and dumped with. As far as I can tell, for the SGI at least, this does not affect function calls because the addresses used (and included in the dumped image) are those of stub routines that jump to the actual routines, thus are located in the executable proper rather than in the shared libraries, and so shouldn't be changed by a new version of the shared library. Unfortunately, this is not the case for global variables. Fortunately, there appear to only be two foreign variables used by cmucl in any of its system code winding up in the dumped image: errno and tzname. Apparently, Solaris relocates data references in dsos to match the program, while IRIX relocates data references in the program to match the dso. Thus, on Solaris, you don't need to do anything special for cmucl to work with a newer runtime libc, but on IRIX it gets the wrong value of errno and tzname. Unfortunately, the address of errno is different between irix 6.2, 6.3, and 6.4 (all of which we have to have because SGI doesn't have a single cross-platform OS version yet), which would require a different lisp.core for each machine (you just need to run mk-lisp, not recompile) if it weren't for the hack below. But fortunately again, a lisp compiled for one version seems to be able to run on another version well enough to generate the new lisp.core (presumably the worst that would happen is that error messages could be confusing). It would be really nice to avoid this problem. Perhaps some kind of relocation table could be added to the dumped image format? I don't know enough about the system to know how possible or ridiculous that suggestion is, unfortunately. Is the Solaris behavior guaranteed to be the same in future releases? If not, or if any other platforms have the irix behavior, this might become a more general problem. In the meantime, we use a hack: we *define* errno in undefineds.c rather than just referencing it; this results in warnings from the linker, but it resolves the conflict in favor of the definition in the program, relocating libc to match, thus fixing this problem for errno. The other global variables, tzname et al, can't be fixed this way as easily because they're listed as weak symbols, essentially aliases for the real symbol, so redefining them wouldn't cause libc to reference the new version. Thus, as long as you don't use tzname, there's no problem right now (although there may be if any other library global variables are used in cmucl in the future). The definition of tzname is in a progn preceeded by a comment which says not to use it, so hopefully it's not in fact used and therefore not a problem. These patches have been tested on an R5000 O2 running irix 6.3 and a dual R4400 Onyx running irix 6.2. A previous version of these patches (for 17f) was tested on the onyx when it was running 5.3 (I think, maybe 5.2). The patches here are from the main branch of the CVS tar as of August 13. Incidentally, it was quite painful figuring out how to compile and bootstrap the current sources under the distributed irix 18a binary, even without trying :new-random or :signed-array (which I haven't tried to do yet); it might be nice to put a newer binary up...
