Great Design Documentaries
For this week's Design Ideas, you're reaping the benefit of a recent sick day. The cure for my cold was sleep, lots of liquids and plenty of Internet scavenging.
I happened to ask myself: What are the best documentaries about design?Here are a few that make my list. Some you'll have heard of, others I dug out of the recesses of the Internet, my DVD closet and the minds of design-interested chums who were also online. Most are readily available at Netflix and elsewhere. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

A man the Summerville Police Department has been seeking in connection with three armed robberies has been identified and apprehended.
Taylor M. Watkins, 24, of Charleston has been identified as the person responsible for three armed robberies of area pharmacies, two of which occurred about three hours apart on Nov. 4 and one that occurred back in March, according to SPD Capt. Jon Rogers.
No one was injured in the robberies, Rogers said.
Rogers said that pictures of the suspect provided to the public via the media were instrumental in identifying Watkins as the individual responsible for the robberies.
Rogers said Watkins was arrested in the Myrtle Beach area Nov. 5. He faces pending charges within SPDs jurisdiction, including three counts of armed robbery and three counts of possession of firearm during a violent crime. Watkins also has pending charges in the Myrtle Beach area for robberies that occurred in that jurisdiction.
It is unknown when Watkins will be transported to Summerville for warrant service, Rogers said.

There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Ford Transit Connect is a better financial choice over the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, when considering MSRP. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. Both the Ford Transit Connect and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter have similar Destination Charges.
Since the Ford Transit Connect is much slimmer than the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Ford Transit Connect, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
The Ford Transit Connect has much lower torque than the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.
The Ford Transit Connect has a significantly smaller turning radius than the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, allowing you to much more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.
In terms of towing capacity, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is clearly the choice over the Ford Transit Connect for pulling heavy loads. The Ford Transit Connect has a little less horsepower than the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
Soccer Moms beware - the Ford Transit Connect seats a lot fewer people than the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The Ford Transit Connect has significantly less cargo capacity than the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
The Ford Transit Connect comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
Compare the 2016 Ford Transit Connect and the 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

Originally written on Start 'N' Park Blog | Last updated 8/31/14
After qualifying fifth and running inside the top 10 for the majority of the Indiana 250 at Indianapolis (Ind.) Motor Speedway (IMS), Parker Kligerman appeared to be in position for a strong finish late in the race, until he was ran into from behind, knocked loose and then when things got three-wide ended up pinned against the outside wall. With damage to the front fenders of his No. 77 Toyota, the talented youngster was forced to visit pit road. After getting four tires, fuel and quick repairs to the fenders of his Camry, the Connecticut native restarted 21st with just six laps remaining. He was able to pick up three spots in the closing laps, but came home with a disappointing 18th-place finish in his first career start at the historic speedway. "We ran in the top 10 all day and with the 12, 31 and 7 having a tough day were in line for a good points day, until we got hit from behind — not once, but twice — and then put in the outside wall," said Kligerman, who in 2008 lived one block from IMS and was a frequent visitor to the famed track. "It was an honor to finally race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and really cool – even if it didn't last long — to at one point hold the track record in qualifying. I'm proud of Eric Phillips (crew chief) and all the guys and we're ready to get back at it next week at Iowa." After the green flag dropped, Kligerman quickly reported that his Camry was "tight center and off," as he dropped three spots by the time 10 laps had been completed. As the run continued, he fell back to the 13th spot before making his first stop of the day – for four tires, fuel and a track bar adjustment – under green-flag conditions on lap 30.When stops had cycled through, he remained in the 13th spot. As the race progressed, the talented youngster reported that his No. 77 Toyota was "loose in traffic." He was scored in the 12th position when debris brought out the first caution of the day. Phillips summoned his driver to pit road, where the Kyle Busch Motorsports over-the-wall crew administered a four-tire and fuel stop, with another track bar adjustment, and returned their driver to the track scored in the 13th spot. Several teams not electing to pit under caution were forced to pit road about 10 laps later, which allowed the No. 77 team to advance to the seventh spot when the second caution of the race occurred for fluid on the track on lap 66. As the teams that didn't pit under green prepared for their next stop, Kligerman communicated to Phillips that he needed more stability on entry. When pit road opened, KBM's Nationwide Series entry got right side tires and a full load of fuel for the final stages of the race. Kligerman took the lap-70 restart from the 10th spot, but lost a couple positions on the restart and was scored in the 12th position when a debris caution occurred on lap 84. While a few teams elected to pit, Phillips kept his young driver on the track and the No. 77 Camry took the lap-88 restart from the ninth spot. With the end of the race approaching, drivers became more aggressive and Kligerman became a victim on lap 89, when the No. 6 car gave him two shots to the rear bumper to get him loose and then as the No. 5 car made things three-wide, the No. 77 Camry was pinned against the outside wall. A debris caution ensued and with visible damage, Phillips summoned his driver to pit road. After pulling out the fenders and replacing all four tires, Kligerman returned to the track in the 21st position for the final restart on lap 89. Within two laps he had advanced up to 16th, but surrendered two spots over the final three laps dropped back to the 18th spot as the field took the checkered flag. KBM owner Kyle Busch led 92 of the 100 laps en route to his eighth victory of 2013 in his Joe Gibbs Racing No. 54 Monster Energy Camry. It was his Nationwide Series-record 59th win and his 117th victory across NASCAR's top three divisions. Brian Scott finished 2.141 seconds behind Busch in the runner-up spot. Joey Logano finished third, Brian Vickers fourth and Kevin Harvick rounded out the top-five finishers. There were four caution periods totaling 18 laps. Four drivers led a lap, exchanging the lead six times. Nine drivers failed to finish the 100-lap event. Kligerman sits 10th in the Nationwide Series championship standings with 19 of 33 races complete, 67 points behind new series points leader Austin Dillon. The Kyle Busch owned No. 77 entry ranks 12th in the owner's championship standings, 176 points behind the series-leading No. 54 team. Kligerman and his No. 77 Toyota Racing team head to Iowa Speedway in Newton for the US Cellular 250 on Aug. 3. Live television coverage of Saturday's 250-lap event begins with NASCAR Countdown at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. -Kyle Busch Motorsports PR

Historical Traveler Reviews Donovan House - A Kimpton Hotel Washington DC
Minimalist, Different, Very Comfortable
If you like contemporary and minimalist but very accommodating, this is for you. As a business traveler, I was very satisfied. Here are the plus points:
1. great bed, linens and robe
2. very quiet AC
3. Liehl's products
4. FREE wireless internet
5. coffee, quality teas and REAL creamers in the rm. (none of that powdered crap)
6. the sink and the shower is pretty cool
7. digital TV
The decor is black and white with a touch of aubergine. And, I found the service to be welcoming and quick. I totally recommend this hotel!
Great service, nice hotel
The staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful, definitely making our stay as comfortable as possible. We received a hand delivered welcome letter along with designer candy, (not sure if all customers receive that treatment - for a moment it felt like a Hotels.com commercial!)
The room itself was a bit small, with just enough room for a bed, TV, and bathroom. That was a Queen Superior room, (their cheapest), but the larger rooms looked much better in size. I guess if you get the cheapest rate from Hotels.com then you get the smallest room.
Decor was stylish with very funky lighting fixtures.
Some have commented on the fact there is no top sheet between the bed and comforter, this is a standard European bedding configuration and no cause for alarm! (Our comforter cover was changed daily).
The single-serve coffee machines are logical if you consider the fact that they use disposable coffee capsules, which allows the machine to also make tea for us tea drinkers. A feat that cannot be reasonably achieved with traditional coffee makers!
A small scale complimentary breakfast was available, muffins, fruit, pastries and coffee. Not a huge selection but great quality stuff.
The Kiehls amenities were very nice, although they did not replace them after the third day. May have just been an oversight...
All in all a very nice place with great service. At the discounted rates it makes for great value for money, but full price seems a bit much for what you get.
Hotel seems to be done in a cheap way. Furniture, decor etc is trendy but low end. Service needs improvement. Ordered ice and it took approx 45 minutes to come up and say that they were out of buckets and asked for the one in the room. The ice showed up about 30 minutes after that. I was excited about the hotel coming to DC because I think 60 Thompson is a great hotel. For the money, I would stay in a Kimpton hotel for the same price but better value.
The devil is in the details...
The hotel is nice and the staff was great, but with hotels like this, the devil is in the details:
1. The shower would switch to cold and then get really hot.
2. The sink did not drain quickly enough so I ended up with toothpaste residue in the sink.
3. It is very bright outside this building, but the curtains did not sufficiently black out the room.
Neat hotel...but not sure it will ultimately be worth the $$
The rooms were a little small -- but the decor was very design-y and minimalist -- alomst to the point of being a bit dysfunctional, but not quite. The bed was extrememly comfortable and the bathroom and shower were awesome. The service I thought was excellent and the breakfast as others have written was not uch to write home about (mostly becuase there was no place to even really sit down as it is served in the lobby). I did not get to see the pool area on the roof -- but it looked more than promising and I am lookign forward to a return visit in the summer just to check that out. I got a great introductory rate for this stay and a couple of upcoming stays -- at that price -- it is an amazing hotel. At the price it seems as though they would like to charge moving forward -- I am not sure it will be worth it. But overall -- cool hotel, very comfortable but smallish room, perfect location.
Great visit to Donovan House
Service was great. Style is quirky but very fun. Our kids loved the unique shower. My only criticism is that the lighting was a little dim in the rooms.
Still getting the bugs worked out
I stayed at the newly opened Donovan House recently (just a week after they opened). The property--formerly a Holiday Inn Central--is now a boutique Thompson Hotel property. The interior was very nice and the new linens and towels great. Indeed, the over-priced DC market badly needs more hotels. That being said: (i) I had to call 4 times to get a sheet for the bed (they don't use them and claim to wash the comforter) and (ii) called 3 times to get an ironing board. The single-serve coffee machine did not impress nor did the muffins in the lobby for breakfast. I returned to my room at 430pm and it still had not been cleaned since there were no clean linens.
In short, the place has great potential but is still in various stages of construction and training of new staff.
Excellent service - beautiful hotel
Booked my hotel by going straight to the hotel from the airport. Wonderfully quirky furniture and beautiful woodwork at the lobby. The front office personnel were very friendly and chatted me up. Am normally suspicious of this kind of behavior being they're supposed to be friendly anyway, but it came across as sincere. The room I stayed in had a king bed with the best linen I've ever felt and the first shower of its kind I've even seen, I had to go around a spiral to get to it. Again, quirky. What I liked most: free internet, free business center, free breakfast, free fitness center. My Iphone got its own home in their clock which was also an charger which was a nice touch. Not being a fan of Kiehl's, I appreciated it as that was what was in the bathroom. I was there a couple of days after opening so everything was immaculate as one should expect, and for the price I paid I thought it was the best value for my money.
Great Hotel if you skip breakfast
We stayed at the Donovon House for one night just after the hotel has started operation. We got a great opening rate on their website and were very pleasantly surprised how well the hotel was operated already. The rooms are quite spacious and in a modern, very comfortable and relaxing design (you can definitely trust the symbolic drawings on their website). The bathroom was absolutely amazing, and their "signature cocoon spiral shower" is a nice feature. The staff was very friendly and attentive, although we felt a little overwhelmed by the attention we got as first customers. Needless to say that the central location of the hotel in a quite neighboorhood is perfect for whatever your plans are in D.C.
The only downside of our stay at the Donovant house was the (at least complementary) continental breakfast. In a four star hotel, you can't serve your guest a selection of only two muffins and an apple virtually in the hotel entrance hall and have them even brew their coffee on their own. I understand that the hotel restaurant is not operating yet and I am confident that things will improve once this will be the case. However, management has to address the breakfast problem immediately and find a temporary solution for this in order not to have the reviews of their otherwise simply great hotel being tainted by this issue.
Quirky Hotel
Interesting Hotel with an art deco sort of feel. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. The only thing that I did not like was that the parking is overpriced at $35 a night and I wasn't a fan of the shower since it has no shower head and comes down from the ceiling like a water fall. Unfortunately this doesn't allow for much water pressure.
I do think that travelers should check this hotel out at least once to see if it is your style.

Erie man held for trial in June shooting
An Erie man was held for trial Monday on charges in a June shooting in the city.
Robert E. Walker, 44, faces trial on charges of criminal attempt at criminal homicide, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering and illegal possession of a firearm following his preliminary hearing before Erie 1st Ward District Judge Sue Mack on Monday morning. Walker remains in the Erie County Prison on $50,000 bond.
Erie police filed the charges on June 15, accusing Walker of shooting a 25-year-old man multiple times near East Third and Parade streets on June 14.
Man pleads guilty to area bank robberies
A Corry man pleaded guilty Monday in Erie County Court to charges stemming from two Erie-area bank robberies.
Martin A. Mitchell, 30, pleaded guilty to one second-degree felony count of robbery each in connection with a Jan. 11 robbery of a First National Bank branch in Millcreek Township and a Jan. 19 robbery at Marquette Savings Bank, 1885 E. 38th St. Police said Mitchell stole $4,854.01 from the First National Bank branch and $1,625 from the Marquette Savings Bank branch.
Mitchell also entered a guilty plea to a charge of heroin possession stemming from a Jan. 6 incident in the 2900 block of West Lake Road and admitted that he was driving under the influence on Dec. 25 in the 300 block of West Columbus Avenue in Corry.
Sentencing is set for Sept. 13.

No foul play suspected in Millcreek death
The Erie County Coroner's Office is investigating the death of a man found in a Millcreek Township apartment complex Monday morning.
The man, 50, had been dead several weeks when the complex manager called the Millcreek Township Police Department, Deputy Coroner Dennis Suscheck said.
Suscheck could not immediately determine the cause of death because of the condition of the body, but said no foul play is suspected.
The police and the coroner's office are "satisfied there's no evidence of foul play," he said. "The apartment was properly secured and the body didn't reveal any evidence to indicate trauma."
A number of medications were found in the apartment, he said.
The office has not released the name of the man pending notification of relatives.

This is really about tearing Barack Obama down.
It's Plain Whose Country the Government-Haters "Want Back"
Berry Craig: It makes most Republicans and Tea Baggers hopping mad when somebody suggests that outright racism, or pandering to racism, underlies most of their anti-government rhetoric. But there is no denying the GOP is what the Democrats used to be — mostly the white folks' party.

Lycia Howell: To be blunt, all but a couple of Tea Party people were unable to express why they are angry in any specific terms.They voice sentiments along the lines that "Obama is ruining the country" or that immigrants are hurting us and some referred to a nasty rap song, "Press One For English," but they could offer no specifics to back their feelings.
What's a Real Democratic Majority?
Paul Hogarth: The filibuster means that progressive legislation requires 72 Senate Democrats – but you only need 54 Republicans to ram through the most awful right-wing agenda. Why? Because "Democrats vote with Republicans significantly more often than Republicans vote with Democrats, making it much easier for Republicans to pass the kind of legislation they want.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 09/252,367 filed on Feb. 18, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,185,669, issued Feb. 6, 2001.
Reference is made to the following co-pending and commonly assigned U.S. Patent Applications entitled FAST INSTRUCTION PROFILING AND EFFECTIVE TRACE SELECTION, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/252,367, filed Feb. 18, 1999, which is hereby incorporated by reference, and SYSTEM AND METHOD USING A HARDWARE EMBEDDED RUN-TIME OPTIMIZER, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/252,170, filed Feb. 18, 1999, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
This application relates in general to run-time optimizers, and in specific to hardware embedded run-time optimizers.
A run-time optimizer is an adaptive software system that transparently optimizes applications at run-time. The optimizer rewrites the binary code of an application on-the-fly to achieve a higher execution efficiency.
FIG. 2 depicts prior art run time optimizer 20. The control loop 21 begins execution of a block of program code, via emulation performed by the profiling emulator 22. The profiling aspect of emulator 22 allows the control loop 21 to track the number of times the particular block of code has been executed via emulation. Note that a run time optimization system is different from a run time binary translation system, in that the latter is for architecture migration, while the former is to decrease execution time. The run time optimization system is using the emulator 22 for profiling in order to guide optimizations, i.e. the code is running on its native system. After a predetermined number of executions via emulation, the control loop 21 designates the block of code as hot code, and desirable for optimization. The control loop 21 then activates trace selector 23 to translate the block of code. The trace selector 23 forms a trace of the instructions that comprise the block of code by following the instructions in the block. When a branch instruction is encountered, the trace selector makes a prediction as to whether the branch is taken or falls through. If the selector decides the branch is mostly taken, then the trace is formed by extending the code from the branch target block. If the selector decides not to take the branch, then the branch falls through, and the trace continues within the fall through block. The trace terminates at a backward branch predicted to take or when the trace becomes sufficiently large. After the trace is completed, the code is rewritten with machine dependent and machine independent optimizations. The optimized code is then placed into the code cache 24. The next time the control loop 21 encounters a condition to execute this block of code, then the control loop 21 will execute the code in the code cache 24 and not emulate the code via emulator 22.
As shown in FIG. 3, if the target of a branch which is taken to exit trace 1, as shown by branch instruction 31, then control is returned to the run time system RTS 20 and to control loop 21, which determines if the target resides in the code cache. If the target resides in code cache, then the control loop 21 modifies the target of the branch instruction 31 to be the trace 2 in code cache as shown by branch instruction 33. This modification is called backpatching. Thus, if the exit of the trace is already translated, then the branch is backpatched such that a subsequent execution will directly branch to the new trace without returning to the control loop. Backpatching increases the speed of execution of the code, as returning to the RTS significantly slows down execution time.
A problem with the prior art RTS is that it cannot backpatch an indirect branch. The RTS cannot backpatch an indirect branch because the target address is unknown. The target address is typically in a register or memory location, and not written directly in code. Thus, the RTS will shift control back to the control loop 21 to determine whether the target address has been translated, which is expensive in terms of time. The prior art has attempted to minimize this problem by inlining a code sequence to search a smaller look up table in the optimized traces, however, these mechanism still incur high overhead. Moreover, if small table lookup fails then the RTS will shift control back to the control loop, as described above. Examples of indirect branches are return branches and switch branches. This software approach adds an additional 10-100 s of cycles to the processing time.
Therefore, there is a need in the art for a RTS that can handle indirect branches without returning control to a control loop.
These and other objects, features and technical advantages are achieved by a system and method that uses a table to map branch targets that is built into the hardware as cache. Thus, when a fetch instruction is initiated, the IP-to-TM cache is examined to determine whether the branch target instruction has been optimized and placed into the trace memory. If there is a match with the P-to-TM cache, then the code in the trace is executed.
The P-to-TM cache is in the instruction fetch unit. This cache maps branch targets to optimized traces. This cache is examined in parallel with Instruction Translation Lookup Buffer (ITLB), if a match is found, the control will transfer to the optimized code. Otherwise, the execution control continues on the original code. This cache can significantly speed up the process of mapping a branch target to an optimized trace. Protection information will be included in the cache to enforce various protection needs typically served by ITLB.
The inventive mechanism eliminates the need to add a table look up to access separate pipeline stages, and thus increases the speed of the pipeline steps. This eliminates the need to use a software table look up and special handling of indirect branches.
When instructions are executed, the instructions typically have a virtual address. This virtual address needs to be translated into a physical memory address, particularly when assessing caches like the instruction cache or data cache. This translation is usually done by the ITLB. Thus, every time an instruction needs to be fetched, the ITLB needs to be examined. The inventive mechanism uses this requirement to perform a parallel lookup in the IP-to-TM cache.
The inventive mechanism first determines if the target address is a trace address, if so then the IP-to-TM cache does not need to be examined, and the instruction can be fetched directly from the trace memory. If the target address is virtual address in original code address, then the mechanism examines both the IP-to-TM cache and ITLB. If the address matches an entry in the IP-to-TM cache, then the instruction is fetched from trace memory. Note that if the IP-to-TM cache hits, then the ITLB should also hit, however, the ITLB hit is ignored. If the IP-to-TM cache misses, and the ITLB hits, then the instruction is fetched from original code and executed from there. If both the IP-to-TM cache and ITLB miss, then the mechanism invokes a hardware walker to load the correct translation into the ITLB.
Therefore, it is a technical advantage of the present invention to have the mapping from a branch to a trace stored in the IP-to-TM cache that is embedded into the hardware.
It is further technical advantage of the present invention that the IP-to-TM cache handles indirect branches much more efficiently than a software approach.
It is a further technical advantage of the present invention that the IP-to-TM cache and the ITLB are examined in parallel.
The foregoing has outlined rather broadly the features and technical advantages of the present invention in order that the detailed description of the invention that follows may be better understood. Additional features and advantages of the invention will be described hereinafter which form the subject of the claims of the invention. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the conception and the specific embodiment disclosed may be readily utilized as a basis for modifying or designing other structures for carrying out the same purposes of the present invention. It should also be realized by those skilled in the art that such equivalent constructions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention, and the advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following descriptions taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 depicts the flow of operation of the inventive IP-to-TM cache;
FIG. 2 depicts prior art run time optimizer; and
FIG. 3 depicts a prior art backpatching mechanism used with the system of FIG. 2.
The inventive mechanism is incorporated into a run-time optimization system (RTOS) that is embedded in hardware. The RTOS is discussed further in SYSTEM AND METHOD USING A HARDWARE EMBEDDED RUN-TIME OPTIMIZER, U.S. application Ser. No. 09/252,170, filed Feb. 18, 1999, which is hereby incorporated by reference. RTOS has the control of the optimization in hardware and hardware is used to detect hot code, as well as execute both optimized and non-optimized code. Hardware also notifies the firmware via traps. The RTOS uses firmware to handle trace selection, code optimization, and trace memory management, each of which require complex analysis.
The RTOS uses the trace memory (TM) to hold the traces of the optimized instructions. Trace selection is discussed in FAST INSTRUCTION PROFILING AND EFFECTIVE TRACE SELECTION, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/252,567, filed on Feb. 18, 1999, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Note that trace memory is a portion of RAM memory. RAM also includes IP-to-TM mapping table. This table lists the mapping of the original IP of a trace to the location in the TM which corresponds to the optimized trace. The RTOS uses IP-to-TM cache, which is a TLB-like structure in the instruction fetch unit to accelerate mapping table access. The P-to-TM cache holds a smaller portion of the most active entries in the P-to-TM mapping table. Thus, the P-to-TM cache contains a list of mapping entries 112 that correlate virtual IP addresses with trace memory addresses. Note that trace memory is part of the physical memory.
As shown in FIG. 1, the instruction pointer (IP), which references an instruction in the user application (not shown) and indicates that a particular instruction is to be executed. The pointer may arise from several sources, including being the target of a branch instruction. In the instruction fetch stage, a fetch address or IP can be calculated from fall-through address 101 such as current-IP+1-line or current-TM +1-line. The IP address may represent a predicted taken branch target address 102 in Target Address Cache (TAC) or Return Stack Buffer (RSB). The TAC and the RSB are the hardware target address prediction structures, which predict the location of the next fetch target. The IP address may also be a target address forwarded from a mis-predicted branch 103 detected at the end of execution stage. Note that all virtual addresses will access the IP-to-TM cache. The I-cache access takes two steps: (a) indexing and (b) tag match. Indexing is usually based on virtual address but tags use physical address. So tag matching can only be performed after ITLB access.
After receiving the fetch address, the Instruction Fetch Unit (IFU) of the processor 113 first determines whether the address is a trace address. A trace address indicates that the instruction is a starting location of a block which has been optimized and resides in trace memory. If it is a trace address, the IFU then retrieves 105 the optimized instruction in trace memory, for executing. Note that a trace address has an additional bit to distinguish it from a physical address or virtual address. Note that a virtual address must be mapped into a physical address.
If the fetch IP address is not a trace address, but rather is a virtual address or a physical address, then the IFU performs a parallel lookup of the ITLB 106 and the IP-to-TM cache 107. If the fetch address matches an address in the IP-to-TM cache 107, in other words there is an P-to-TM cache hit, then the LFU uses the trace address associated with the matched P address to retrieve and execute the optimized instruction in trace memory. In other words, the IP-to-TM cache provides the trace address to be used by the fetch unit of the processor. Note that the ITLB will most likely also hit, however this hit is ignored by the processor in favor of the IP-to-TM cache hit. Also note that instructions are always executed from I-cache, no matter if it is from physical memory or from trace memory.
An address miss in the IP-to-TM cache and an address match or hit in the ITLB 106 will cause the fetch unit of the processor to fetch the instruction from the original binary 109. Note that a hit in the ITLB 106 indicates that the virtual address can be properly translated into a physical address. After determining the proper physical address, the processor then searches the I-cache (not shown) to see if the instruction has already been loaded into I-cache. If so, then the processor executes the instruction, otherwise the processor then fetches the instruction from the preserved memory or RAM location indicated by the physical address, loads the instruction into the I-cache, and then executes the instruction.
An address miss in the IP-to-TM cache with a corresponding an address match or hit in the ITLB 106 will also cause the hardware walker 108 to be invoked. The hardware walker then searches the larger IP-to-TM mapping table that is maintained in the preserved memory. Note that the hardware walker understands the structure of the table. If the hardware walker (HW) locates such an address in the table, then it copies the entry into the IP-to-TM cache. Note that the HW is part of the processor. Thus, subsequent fetches of the instruction will be retrieved from the trace memory. However, the current fetch is from the original binary. Note that this is one way of adding entries to the P-to-TM cache. An IP-to-TM entry may also be added to the cache (as well as the table) when a trace is optimized and written to the trace memory. Cache entries that are infrequently used will be replaced with newer entries. However, the translation will remain in trace memory and the entry will remain in the IP-to-TM mapping table.
Note that some code sequences do not have translations. The code may not be translated because the code is not hot enough or is too difficult to translate. Thus, to prevent repetitive hardware walker invocations, a filter 110 used to store addresses that have been previously searched in the IP-to-TM table by the hardware walker and resulted in misses. When a code sequence is translated, the filter is searched and any address included in the sequence is removed from the filter.
Note that some processors do not have a hardware walker, and thus an alternative is needed. One alternative is to insert an IP-to-TM entry into the IP-to-TM cache directly when a trace is generated. A miss in the IP-to-TM cache will cause the execution back to the original binary. When an P-to-TM entry is removed from the IP-to-TM cache, the trap handler could reset the threshold of the original I-cache line, so it would eventually cause a trap to regenerate the trace if it is frequently executed.
A miss in the ITLB will also cause the invocation of the hardware walker. In this case, the hardware walker is used to examine the page table to determine the physical location that matches the virtual location. If the processor does not have a hardware walker, software can perform this function. Note that the IP-to-TM table has a similar structure to the page table, and thus the hardware walker is able to search both. Upon locating the physical location, the hardware walker (or software) inserts the entry into the ITLB. If the hardware walker cannot located the address in the page table, then the walker traps to software trap handler.
The IP-to-TM cache also operates like ITLB in that it also checks for access rights and protections 111. The ITLB protects the virtual memory system. Each memory page may have different access rights. These protections need to be carried into trace operations. At the time an IP-to-TM entry is created, important protection information is copied from the ITLB entry into the IP-to-TM entry 111. Thus, before access is granted to a particular trace, the request must meet the access rights as described by protection information 111. One difference between the regular ITLB and the IP-to-TM cache is that ITLB uses page addresses as input, while IP-to-TM cache uses bundle addresses as input. Since a trace can cross pages, the trace selector must make sure that the protection requirements are the same for all pages the trace is selected from, before it grows a trace that crosses pages. Alternatively, the difference in the access rights may be reconciled before building the trace. One method for reconciliation is to select the highest protection requirement of the pages of the trace, and assign that access requirement for the trace. Alternatively, the lowest requirement of the pages of the trace may be used. An example of a protection would be a limitation that states that the instructions on a particular page cannot be speculated.
Although the present invention and its advantages have been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Program OverviewAsian Studies Website.
Why learn about Asia? We live in an age in which major cultures that formerly were assigned to particular geographical regions of the globe are understood to have a truly global reach. From the visual and performing arts to religion and philosophy, Asian cultures play an increasingly significant role in the cultural life of North America. Asian economies have worldwide presence, and political issues in that part of the world affect us profoundly at home. By studying Asian civilizations and contemporary societies, we come to understand a significant part of humanity and acquire insight into our own lives and experiences.
The Asian Studies Program supports teaching, research, study abroad, and cultural events concerning Asia. The current strength of the program lies in China, Japan, and Korea, with growing capabilities in Southeast and South Asia.
Several Asian languages are taught in the Department of Linguistics. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are each offered through the fourth-year. Undergraduate minors may be elected in these languages. UB students may also study Arabic, Hindi/Urdu, and Sanskrit.
Students can study abroad in Asia, undertaking language study, non-language classes, and graduate research. They can spend an academic year, semester, or summer at outstanding universities throughout Asia on programs offered by the University at Buffalo and other SUNY campuses. Academic credit can be transferred to UB. For information, refer to Study Abroad.

Congrats to all White Priders out there. Because of OUR diligence and hard work WE brought the beating death of the 12 year old White youngster at the hands of two y.u.f.e.s to the "mainstream" Jewish controlled networks. Well at least Fox News Network, so far as I know have covered this story. It was talked about on the Shill O'Reilly program during the "Kelly File" segment the other night. Man, that Megyn Kelly is a hottie, the type of hottie that only Whites can produce. Of course sometimes there will be a hot looking tamale like a Mexcrement or Latrino but that is because of the White Spaniard blood in their DNA. We at the WPWW network WILL STAY on this story and seek White Justice.

It's really stupid to be proud of your race. You can be proud of graduating, of getting a good job, of raising a nice family, etc. These are things you participate in the outcome. To say that you are proud that of your randomly assigned coloring at birth is just silly to me.

Some Extra Help for Sitting Back-Pain Free
If your back aches while sitting, your mother was right: You aren't sitting up straight. Makers of cushions and other seat devices say their products can alleviate pain by helping a person maintain good posture. While rigorous scientific studies are scant, clinicians say sitting aids can often help if you choose the right one for your particular problem.
Back pain is a common problem that can have many causes—including injury to muscles or ligaments, arthritis in the spine or a ruptured disk. The pain may be short-lived after an injury, or can drag on for months or years. When facing an aching back, the goal is to sit with a "neutral spine," says Sheila Dugan, associate professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. That means the spine should be in an S-curve-type shape, where the lower back and neck curve inward and the upper back curves out, Dr. Dugan says.
No matter how fancy a chair, adjusted so that it fits a user perfectly, some back-pain sufferers may still need help maintaining the proper posture while sitting. Special cushions, such as a lumbar one placed in the small of the back to maintain the curve, are popular. Wedges, such as the Dual Density cushion for $39.95 from RelaxoBak Inc., of Anderson, Ind., tilt the body forward and encourage the user to sit up straight.
Another device involves a thin seat of plastic or foam that cups a person's behind and is designed to help users sit up straight and protect their tailbone, where many people have pain. The $19.95 RelaxoBak comfort seat is a hard plastic device that provides a solid support for pelvic bones to help a person maintain good posture, says RelaxoBak vice president, Bill Kuntz. BackJoy Orthotics LLC sells a similar soft-plastic-and-foam device for $39.95, which the Boulder, Colo., company calls a back orthotic because it says it properly aligns the body, like the way shoe orthotics work for feet.
"There's not much in the scientific literature" on seating aids for back pain, says Isaac L. Moss, a spine surgeon at the Comprehensive Spine Center at the University of Connecticut in Farmington. But the devices can be useful additions to a general back-health program—which should include weight loss, regular exercise, stopping smoking and education on proper posture, Dr. Moss says. As a result, choosing the right sitting aid may be more art than science. "There's no actual data that says one is definitely better than another," he says.
But knowing the cause of the back pain can narrow down the choices. If a person has arthritis in the joints in the back of the spine, accentuating the curve in the back is going to hurt so "the last thing you want is a lumbar cushion," Dr. Moss says. A wedge that tilts the body forward, would be a better choice, he says. A lumbar cushion is great for a person with disk pain because leaning back to accentuate the curve in the back will relieve pressure on a disk, he adds.
BackJoy Chief Executive Bing Howenstein say his company's device can be used any place you sit—including a car seat or sofa. I tried the BackJoy sitting in a hard chair and it did encourage me to sit up straight, but it didn't help when I sat on an extremely cushy sofa. Mr. Howenstein says the BackJoy does sink into sofas, but still helps because it provides a "cradle of natural flesh" that allows the pelvis and spine to move freely. When the spine and back are stuck in one position while sitting, it can compress muscles and nerves, causing pain, he adds.
Rush's Dr. Dugan says if someone has chronic pain, it is better to start slowly with any seating aid just to make sure it doesn't make the pain worse. "I suggest an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon," she says.
And consider it a temporary measure until you build up strong muscles in your abdomen and back which are critical to keeping your back in good health, says Patrice Winter, a Fairfax, Va., physical therapist and spokeswoman for the American Physical Therapy Association. People should "be strong enough to maintain a good curve by their physical condition," says Ms. Winter, who adds that walking and bicycling are great for the core muscles. She says she tries to wean patients from seating aids within six weeks, but says lumbar cushions remain useful for long car trips.
Scott Bautch, a Wassau, Wisc., chiropractor and past president of the American Chiropractic Association's Council on Occupational Health, says his favorite device for back pain is sitting an exercise ball because "it's impossible to slouch" while sitting on one." It keeps joints in motion—which is good for the back, he adds. You can sit on ball alone, or sit on it in a chair—such as the $120 chair on wheels from Gaiam Inc. of Boulder, Colo., Dr. Bautch says. I sat on just an exercise ball while working and it made me sit up straight the entire time because if I slouched, it rolled.

One month, I did a tally of all the stuff he did, writing down the things that were against the employee handbook. By the time week #2 rolled out, I ran out of paper in my notepad! Problem is, he was buddy-buddy with some of the higher ups and I was the one who ended up fired in the end.

Brief Encounter With … Les Dennis
Michael Hunt • Blackpool, Bolton, Chester, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Oldham, Salford • 15 Oct 2009
In 2002, however, he could have faced career ruin when he appeared on the second series of Channel 4's Celebrity Big Brother. The comedian suffered a meltdown live on television as he struggled with the much publicised personal trauma involving his second wife Amanda Holden.
Nonetheless, he made a commendable recovery which included an acclaimed performance in an episode of Ricky Gervais' BBC series Extras and guest television roles in New Street Law, Holby City, and The Bill. In the summer of last year his series titled Les Dennis's Liverpool was screened by Granada.
In 2008, Dennis toured and played a West End season in the award-winning comedy musical Eurobeat, Almost Eurovision and released his autobiography Must the Show Go On? which gave a very frank and honest insight into his personal life. Earlier this year, he joined his niece Jodie McNee on stage, playing Herbert Soppitt, in a new production of JB Priestley's When We Are Married which visited the Liverpool Playhouse in May.
He celebrated his 56th birthday this week and became a dad for the second time in 2008 when he and his partner of two years, Claire Nicholson, welcomed their daughter Eleanor Grace into the world.
Are you looking forward to reuniting with First Family Entertainment again, in its Peter Pan pantomime at the Empire, after appearing in its production of Cinderella at the same theatre last year?
They asked me to come back after last year and to come back to my home city again is great. I loved it last year - we had a great time with Cinderella - and Cilla Black was brilliant. It was just a lovely company, so when they said do you want to come back I just jumped at the chance. Liverpool is home to me.
First Family Entertainment will also be reuniting again with Henry Winkler, who played Captain Hook in its Peter Pan production three years ago. Did you see it?
Yes, I saw the production and saw Henry do this show with Bobby Davro. Funnily enough I hadn't done panto in years and I loved it and thought 'Bobby is having such a lot of fun'. I've done a lot of plays lately where, as a performer, you don't have that much of a chance to work an audience and talk to them so much. I don't do stand up anymore. So, I thought I'm going to lose those skills if I don't go and do it. I did panto two years ago in Sunderland with Mickey Rooney in Cinderella and then came to Liverpool last year and just had a ball. This one will also be my first chance to play panto dame as well.
Bearing in mind you're wearing a frock in Peter Pan, when was the last time you wore women's clothes?
Well, certainly when Dustin Gee and I were together we used to do our comedy sketch of Vera and Mavis and used to do lots of dressing up as different characters from different things. What I love about panto dame, and our tradition of men dressing as women, is that it goes back to Shakespeare's time. It's funny sometimes because I'm working with an American director at the moment (Jeff Calhoun) and when I'm explaining what I'm doing he's looking back at me and saying, 'Women dress as boys and men dress up as women - what!?' But you've got to get it right as well. It's very much not drag for me and I don't want it to be about the costumes, I want it to be about the character – the kind of 'mumsie' and matriarchal aspects - because they're the best dames. When you think back to Les Dawson, he was clearly a man dressed in women's clothes, but he was hilarious.
You play the Darling's family cook in Peter Pan, who is a character not usually associated to the story is she?
It's an interesting change of aspect as far as Peter Pan is concerned because obviously in the play and in the book it doesn't exist this character. Peter Pan is a difficult one to do because it's sometimes neither pantomime or the original children's story, so we're trying to bring an element of pantomime to this show and instead of having Nana the dog, we've got Nana the cook, so it will be good fun to play.
Do you feel you will have a responsibility to bring out the laughs in the production of Peter Pan when it arrives in Liverpool?
Well, like I've mentioned earlier, I saw Henry Winkler in this production a few years ago and Henry is a funny man, so I think the laughs will be distributed. I think that the idea of my character fancying Captain Hook will bring some nice comic frisson between the two. I've met Henry a couple times before and he seems a really nice guy and I'm sure we're going to have a laugh.
Are you enjoying the new challenges your career is offering you these days? When We Are Married was a great success don't you think?
It was a great production and I'm loving it and I'm loving the fact that I'm doing varied things. From When We Are Married to High School Musical 2 to Peter Pan, it's all kind of different and varied so that's great to be able to do different things.
Do you have any more TV work in the pipeline?
There is nothing planned at the moment, all my stuff is stage work, but I'm talking to the BBC at the moment about something next year.
As a follow on to your series Les Dennis's Liverpool, where else in the country would you like to go and discover and find out about?
I loved that and it was a great show for me to go and do. To be honest, I've always had this idea of doing this kind of investigation into Britain's piers because a lot of variety comic shows are called 'end of the pier shows' and there is an end of the pier tradition that is vanishing. So I'd be interested to go around the piers of Britain and see the comic heritage and also the variety show heritage, and where they are now and their history.
What's your view on Channel 4 dropping Big Brother from its TV schedule after another celebrity series next January?
I couldn't be less interested because I did Big Brother and I watched the celebrity ones but I never watched the main one. I suppose having done it I'm kind of feeling it has run its course now. I didn't watch this year's series at all so I don't know whether it has run its course, but it clearly seems that the audiences are not as into it as they used to be.
After Peter Pan will you be rejoining the cast of High School Musical 2?
Yes, I'm coming back to the Liverpool Empire with High School Musical 2 in February and then who knows at the moment. I'll finish that around April time and the thing is if I get offers now I can't take them because I'm booked up until May, so we'll just see what comes up.
And will Eleanor Grace be too young to see you in Peter Pan?
No, not at all. She'll be 20 months old when we come here and she'll definitely be around.
