For tax cheat Geither to talk about honest investing is absurd - if he wants better law enforcement he should send himself to prison.
As for how to prevent wild speculation - how about NO BAILOUTS (there was not just one last year - Greenspan was doing a de facto bailout every time he increased the credit money supply in response to threats of the bubble bursting, year after year). Accept of course that tax cheat Geither and the Fed (and the Treasury) were in favour of the great bailout orgy of last year and this (for the expansion of the money supply is still going on - more than ever in fact).
As was/is the Economist.
We don't need more or better regulators. We need to create a system of better incentives that won't allow things that just happened to happen again.
Then, we will need to create a different economic system. State socialism and market capitalism didn't work. Time for a new one.

Page 1 Processor allocation • Easy with multiprocessor systems – Every processor has access to the same memory and resources. – All processors pick a job from a common run queue. – Process can be restarted on any available processor. • Much more complex with multicomputer systems – No shared memory (usually) – Little or no shared state (file name space, open files, signals, …) – Network latency Page 2 Allocation or migration? • Migratory or nonmigratory? • Most environments are nonmigratory – System decides where a process is born – User decides where a process is born • Migratory processes: – Move a process between machines during its lifetime – Can achieve better system-wide utilization of resources Page 3 Need transparency • Process must see the same environment on different computers – Same set of system calls & shared libraries • Non-migratory processes: – File system name space – stdin, stdout, stderr • Migratory processes: – File system name space – Open file descriptors (including stdin, stdout, stderr) – Signals – Shared-memory segments – Network connections (e.g. TCP sockets) – Semaphores, message queues – Synchronized clocks Page 4 Migration strategies • Move state Page 5 Migration strategies • Move state • Keep state on original system – Use RPC for system calls Page 6 Migration strategies • Move state • Keep state on original system – Use RPC for system calls • Ignore state Page 7 Constructing process migration algorithms • Deterministic vs. heuristic • centralized, hierarchical or distributed • optimal vs. suboptimal • local or global information • location policy Page 8 Up-down algorithm • Centralized coordinator maintains usage table • Goal: provide a fair share of available compute power – do not allow the user to monopolize the environment • System creates process – decides if local system is too congested for local execution – sends request to central manager, asking for a process • Centralized coordinator keeps points per workstation – +points for running jobs on other machines – -points if you have unsatisfied requests pending – If your points > 0: you are a net user of processing resources • coordinator takes request from workstation with lowest score Page 9 Hierarchical algorithm • Removes central coordinator to provide greater scalability • Each group of "workers" (processors) gets a "manager" (coordinator responsible for process allocation to its workers) • Manager keeps track of workers available for work (similar to centralized algorihtm) • If a manager does not have enough workers (CPU cycles), it then passes the request to its manager (up the hierarchy) Page 10 Distributed algorithms • Sender initiated distributed heuristic – If a system needs help in running jobs: • pick machine at random • send it a message: Can you run my job? • if it cannot, repeat (give up after n tries) – Algorithm has been shown to behave well and be stable – Problem: network load increases as system load increases • Receiver initiated distributed heuristic – If a system is not loaded: • pick machine at random • send it a message: I have free cycles • if it cannot, repeat (sleep for a while after n tries and try again) – Heavy network load with idle systems but no extra load during critical (loaded) times Page 11 Migrating a Virtual Machine • Checkpoint an entire operating system • Restart it on another system • Does the checkpointed image contain a filesystem? – Easy if all file access is network or to a migrated file system – Painful if file access goes through the host OS to the host file system.

It's not too late to start a vine from seed?
butterfly4uMay 29, 2008
I live in SE PA, zone 6, I soaked cypress vine overnight and planted them today.
Then I thought, is it too late to start them?
I have never grown an annual vine before.
They should still grow a decent size within the next 4-6 weeks, right?
How fast do they grow?
It really hasn't been too warm here yet. A lot of rainy cool days.
Just checking from those of you who have grown cypress vine before.
Did you like it?

Marks on Hibiscus Leaves
Hi, I was hoping someone would recognize what's on my hibiscus leaves. I've had three large shrubs for years and they overwinter in a very cool part of the house while I'm away at college, so someone else waters them(not often, they get stressed)and I wouldn't know if something has been on them until recently. I just noticed that many of the leaves on one of the three look like most the tiny veins have been scraped or sucked out so the pigmentation is almost gone. I've never seen anything like it before, but I'm hoping it's just something common I don't recognize. Some of the leaves are yellowing as well. There are no bitemarks,insects, or residue on leaves as far as I can see. I'd appreciate it if anyone recognizes what this is, thanks!

$72 million in Sandy federal aid money has not yet been used to fix homes
POSTED: Tuesday, May 20, 2014 - 12:42pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, May 20, 2014 - 12:47pm
Hartford, CT (WFSB) -- More than 18 months after Superstorm Sandy devastated the Connecticut coastline, not $1 of the $72 million in federal aid that came into the state has been used to fix homes.
The program has strict guidelines. It's for primary residences only, not second homes. It's for unmet needs that weren't covered by insurance. Projects must be more than $10,000, and the maximum money per homeowner is $150,000.
Since Oct. 29, 2012, Laurie Robinson has been living in a camper in her driveway, her home destroyed by floodwaters driven ashore after Superstorm Sandy.
"There hasn't been any kind of timeline given," Robinson said.
Eyewitness News asked Robinson if she would be surprised if she ended up spending another year living in her driveway, and she responded, "No, not at all."
It's been more than 18 months after the storm, and the I-Team has found that there has been no actual construction yet. State Department of Housing Commissioner Evonne Klein said that's simply because of timing.
The storm hit in October 2012. It was in July of 2013 that $72 million in federal funding first became available to Connecticut.
That same month, the state's Department of Housing was created. The agency spent about a month getting up and running and then spent August preparing its application to the feds for how to use the funding. That was submitted on Sept. 1, and throughout the fall, applications were reviewed. There are 731 applications, which were culled down to the 250 who are in the program as of now.
The I-Team's review of the paperwork submitted by states up and down the East Coast found the most similarities between Connecticut and New Jersey. The Garden State was hit hard by Sandy, and out of 5,600 applications for aid, 2,000 homeowners are already in the construction phase. Meanwhile Connecticut's still waiting to break ground on project No. 1.
Eyewitness News asked, should people be concerned that 2,000 people are in the construction phase in New Jersey and none are in that phase here?"
"It's a different program," Klein said.
That's because to avoid fraud, no work done by others will be reimbursed, and only state-approved contractors can be used.
"There have been occasions where an architect has gone to a home, and it wasn't damaged by Sandy," Klein said.
At the Department of Housing, they insist they're doing a good job with the resources they were given. New York and New Jersey got many times more aid overall, and while New Jersey has thousands of homes already repaired, they also are spending 30 times more on the intake contractor they hired to move applications through the pipeline faster.
One fact is beyond dispute, and it doesn't implicate Klein or her staff. Two months before its agency even existed, New Jersey had applied for its federal aid. Connecticut chose instead to launch a new state agency first and then go to Uncle Sam for money.
In the meantime, Robinson is waiting to go home. Eyewitness News asked, "Would you be able to do this without the state's help?"
"No, and I'd be gone already," Robinson said. "I'm grateful for the help. I really am (frustrated).
Eyewitness News has the self-awareness to know that if the station had requested the records and found out that the $72 million was handed out willy-nilly over six months, we'd be talking about government waste.
There's no doubt they've chosen to be extremely careful and to safeguard taxpayer dollars. But that doesn't get Robinson or her neighbors back home.
Klein has promised that construction will happen in the next few weeks, and she's invited Eyewitness News to see the first groundbreaking.

STAGE TUBE: Apple Promotes 'Do Not Disturb' with Serena & Venus Williams
In a twist of ironic timing, this morning, multiple outlets reported the discovery of a new iOS bug, related to the software's popular Do Not Disturb feature. At the same time, the company has launched A New Television campaign featuring Serena and Venus Williams about the feature.
iOS 6 added new calling features to your iPhone. Now when you decline an incoming call, you can instantly reply with a text message or set a callback reminder. And when things are just too hectic, turn on Do Not Disturb and you won't be bothered by anyone - except can't-miss contacts like your boss or your better half. The feature works to suppress all incoming calls and notifications and can be enabled manually or scheduled at a recurring time.

Yes my dog too. Golden lab, 11 years old in couple of weeks ...Spike. Always there quietly enjoying the association and peace.
Morning everyone.
Brilliantly sunny here
They keep forecasting the odd shower for us here but we are missing them all ....ha ha
Nothing. It's down to the variety not the soil Yv with white varieties
No chicky, haven't got new camera yet. Salino has promised me one though Not best picture of wild swan ...it was superup early in season and coming into its own again now. Want experment with it now to see,how best to propagate it without losing it. Will prob buy another and see if I can divide it.
I think the star in mynarden next week may be an actea or two.....will post when in flower
Dordogne damsel
Its just a knack I have Down here it grows large (s uliginosa )....makes large clumps ...so I divide it every year or two. Even so one clump is impressive
This would be a fantastic thread if all those cakes were real . As it is they're a tease
Another lovely sunny day but temps are supposed ro fall a little over next few days
Ordered some shirts ...arrived yesterday plus unnconnected email,offering me 25% discount on future orders. I emailed suggesting they discount me 25% on my recent order. Guess what! They said they would . Happy days. And someone brought me a large box of buns. Would have read the label to see who they were from but really all I was concerned about was eating those buns ..... ( not really)
In the wars Punkdoc? Don't beat yourself up over misjudging people.,,we all get taken in from timeto time.
Salvia itis folks? Check out uliginosa. Tall 7' self supporting spires of delightful pale blue flowers with white bunny tails. Later flowering than most salvias but mine have been flowering for few weeks already and will continue until October
Just received a shirt order followed by an unrelated email from them offering me a 25% discount. Have just emailed them asking for a retrospective 25% discount. If you don't ask you don't receive.
Another lovely day.....spent on a friend's garden pruning her fruit trees. ,however, she hates me eating her apples??? What?? Look, I thought they were donuts she is not the most grateful of folk sometimes
Slugs aren't stupid........flowers, ESP when wet , are preferred to foliage
'snot true Dove.
A white flower and silver or grey foliage border is classy. Lots of shrubs amd perennials, as well as grasss, have subtle glaucous foliage too to complement a white border. For example. Tulbaghia violacea has slender silvery stems with the palest of pink flowers .....foliage would be perfect but it's flowers are pale enough to incorporate into a white border, methinks
Morning folks
Nice looking morning. Good day and night temps here too Dove
Re tulip bulbs. Monty says discard.. I leave them in .....with high losses....but the few I occasionally pot up do seem to survive. Tulips are so cheap though....ESP bought in the clearance sales. I have clumps that do survive and thrive though......no rhyme nor reason for me.

By Marlene Phillips
Last month, I volunteered to go to Tallahassee on my first FEMA deployment after Tropical Storm Debby dumped more than 27 inches of rain on Florida leaving a path of destruction. I left my office cubicle, stepped out of my comfort zone and was instantly reminded of the challenges FEMA faces in a disaster. It was a hectic, fast-paced, eye-opening and humbling experience.
I packed some basic preparedness tools for field work such as comfortable clothing, sturdy walking boots, a hat, bug spray, and my blue FEMA shirts that provided instant identity. But to help people in the disaster, other tools were necessary to accomplish the mission including boatloads of compassion and tons of understanding. I learned this practice in my lifetime as the Golden Rule: "treating others as you would want to be treated." Remember, this could be you standing in your front yard helplessly watching your home fill with flood waters.
Sound impossible that you could be a disaster survivor? Not really. I talked with several FEMA co-workers in Florida and learned that some of them had been disaster victims years ago. Their own past experiences drive these FEMA employees to passionately help those people whose lives have been changed forever.
It didn't take me long to realize that the disaster mission is the heart and soul of FEMA. I saw houses damaged by a tornado. There was one bare lot where a house once stood where a young mother had been blown out of her house into the woods. Tragically, she died clutching her three year-old baby in her arms. Her love was not in vain as the mother's embrace saved her baby's life.
Reaching out to survivors
As a part of FEMA's Community Relations teams, I helped to provide information to survivors about federal disaster assistance. But I learned FEMA Community Relations is certainly more than just handing out flyers door-to-door as if one were advertising the weekly supermarket specials. Community Relations in Florida was an important, humane mission that had a huge impact on the public. Sometimes, we were the first "boots on the ground" to help in some neighborhoods.
I heard people say, "Thank God, FEMA is here!" For some, our presence showed we cared. Listening to their frustrations and understanding their loss and tears was like throwing them a lifeline; it was a ray of hope to help them turn around their nightmare. By treating others as I would want to be treated, it wasn't hard to dig down into my own human nature to reach out to those who were hurting. It's the human thing to do. By mixing a ton of compassion with pounds of concern, our teams showed we cared. All I had to do was to look directly into the eyes of someone whose life had been turned upside down, and I could feel the impact of our mission.
Assistance from the federal government won't make people whole again or completely restore their lives back the way they were before; however, having someone there who cares and can explain any assistance that may be available certainly helps.
It was clear to me. We have inherited a massive responsibility. How we approach these storm-weary folks—how we act and what we say while wearing our FEMA shirts has a lasting impact. It's how FEMA will be remembered by people in all walks of life. I experienced this first-hand. One official thanked a FEMA team who spent three hours with an elderly resident to help them navigate through the disaster registration process. Whether we talked with hotel employees impacted by the storm or walked through a public parking, FEMA employees were stopped by people with anxious eyes and broken hearts seeking information.
To my FEMA colleagues, I challenge you to volunteer to serve on a FEMA disaster. It's an experience that will change your thinking, it will change your priorities, and it just may change your life. I know it has changed mine.

My SON donated his hair a couple of years ago. I sent a note with the hair explaining that his hair has never been cut and this was a first time ever haircut...I got a post card thanking my daughter...I sent them another note and said please send a proper thank-you card to my SON...NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING. I feel that they take the hair and run..and they make a lot of money selling this hair... I think they are mostly a sham. I feel they should be scrutinized closely.

There's certainly a flaw in how charities are evaluated, if they aren't judged by the their stated goals.
Locks of Love says they collect hair to make wigs which they give to children who have lost hair through illness, but most of the hair they collect they sell (Locks of Love says it's "unusable" but the buyers use it to make wigs) and they actually sell or give away very few wigs.
You might do much better to sell your hair yourself and give the money to cancer research.

I contacted Locks of Love to ask if I might be able to use their services for my little girl who has lost all her hair due to chemo and radiation. They never responded. I took a close look at their Web site and it turns out that most of their clients are kids with alopecia (an auto immune disorder, which causes hair loss and no other symptoms). While I think kids with alopecia deserve all the help they can get, I'm not sure why Locks of Love would shun cancer kids -- who after all suffer plenty of nasty physical symptoms as well as hair loss (which can last years and years depending on the type of chemo and location of the radiation). So this organization gets my thumbs down. I'd recommend the group Wigs for Kids for parents whose kids are bald due to cancer.

Budget fight

Senators Spar On Budget Estimates
The Illinois legislature's discussions over state spending are getting heated. On Friday, Lawmakers heard from agencies facing massive budget cuts.
Eight agency heads told Senators how painful it'd be to cut 20 percent from their operations. That figure is based on a projected billion-dollar shortfall next year, when the temporary income tax hike begins to sunset.
It could mean less funding to schools, fewer state police patrols, closure of prisons and mass layoffs.
Republicans, like Senator Dale Righter from Mattoon, charge Democrats are putting on a show to justify a permanent tax increase. Countering, Democratic Senator Dan Kotowski, from Park Ridge, says Republicans ought to offer their own budget legislation.
"A suggestion is significantly different from a piece of legislation."
"I filed a piece of legislation yesterday and all your members were against it, Mr. Kotowski."
"The reason why you receive a salary is to file a bill, to file an appropriation bill."
"I filed an appropriations bill yesterday to roll back to where we were and you said no. You and your party said no."
"Thank you very much, we're going to call on the next person."
Despite Republican claims that Democrats are just trying to scare people, the agencies are basing their budgets on a bi-partisan revenue estimate.
Web extra: Full argument between Sen. Righter and Sen. Kotowski.

This invention relates to chewing gum compositions capable of providing an anesthetic effect to the mouth and throat areas. More particularly, the compositions of this invention contain an anesthetic-producing active. Due to the high amount of the anesthetic released, these compositions are particularly useful as sore throat remedies.
To produce an effective sore throat chewing gum composition it is necessary that the anesthetic be released in sufficient amounts to provide a numbing effect in the irritated mouth and throat areas. It is a well known phenomenon that a predominate portion of the chewing gum composition, i.e. particularly the flavors and ingredients associated therewith, becomes entrapped in the gum base bolus during mastication. Thus, this concern is also present when actives such as anesthetics are added directly to the gum base. Entrapment of the active in the bolus results in less contact of the active with the mouth and throat areas and a resultant failure to provide effective numbing to the painful areas.
The art has disclosed anesthetics such as hexylresourcinol in lozenge form such that the active is released as the lozenge slowly dissolves in the mouth. The art has not, however, disclosed a chewing gum composition which is designed to provide sufficient release of active to be an effective anesthetic composition, yet be pleasing to taste.
It has been discovered that when the anesthetic is incorporated in a chewing gum composition having a low base-content, there is less tendency of the active to become entrapped in the base since there is less available base. However, the amount of gum base must be at a level which can accommodate other conventional chewing gum ingredients without becoming over-plasticized and producing a gum which falls apart when chewed.
Accordingly the present invention comprises a low base-content chewing gum composition capable of providing an anesthetic effect to the throat and mouth through the release of an anesthetic, said composition comprising, by weight percent:
(a) gum base in the amount of about 16 to about 20%;
(b) flavor to amounts of about 0.5 to about 3%;
(c) sweetener in amounts of about 50 to about 80%; and
(d) anesthetic in an amount sufficient to provide an anesthetic effect to the mouth and throat area.
Generally, this anesthetic is used in a range of up to about 0.5% by weight and preferably in the range of about 0.05 to about 0.5%. More particularly, it is preferred that each gum piece deliver about 1.5 to about 5.0 mg of anesthetic per piece of chewing gum and preferably about 2 to about 2.4 mg.
Those anesthetics useful in the instant invention may be selected from the group generally known as local or topical anesthetics. Preferably the anesthetic is selected from the group consisting of hexylresourcinol, benzocaine, xylocaine, tripelennamine, dibucane, sodium phenolate, tetracaine, chloroprocaine, etidocaine, bupivacaine and mixtures thereof. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts equivalent derivatives of these compounds are contemplated.
The gum base used in this invention may be any water-insoluble gum base well known in the art. Illustrative examples of suitable polymers in gum bases include both natural and synthetic elastomers and rubbers. For example, those polymers which are suitable in gum bases, include, without limitation, substances or vegetable origin such as chicle, jelutong, balata, gutta percha, lechi caspi, sorva, guayale rubber, crown gum and mixtures thereof. Synthetic elastomers such as butadiene-styrene copolymers, isobutylene-isoprene copolymers, polyethylene, polyisobutylene, polyvinylacetate and mixtures thereof, are particularly useful.
The gum base composition may contain elastomer solvents to aid in softening the rubber component. Such elastomer solvents may comprise methyl, glycerol or pentaerythritol esters of rosins or modified rosins, such as hydrogenated, dimerized or polymerized rosins or mixtures thereof. Examples of elastomer solvents suitable for use herein include the pentaerythritol ester of partially hydrogenated wood rosin, pentaerythritol ester of wood rosin, glycerol ester of wood rosin, glycerol ester of partially dimerized rosin, glycerol ester of polymerized rosin, glycerol ester of tall oil rosin, glycerol ester of wood rosin and partially hydrogenated wood rosin and partially hydrogenated methyl ester of rosin, such as polymers of alpha-pinene or beta-pinene; terpene resins including polyterpene and mixtures thereof. The solvent may be employed in an amount ranging from about 10% to about 75% and preferably about 45% to about 70% by weight to the gum base.
A variety of traditional ingredients such as plasticizers or softeners such as lanolin, stearic acid, sodium stearate, potassium stearate, glyceryl triacetate, glycerine and the like for example, natural waxes, petroleum waxes, such as polyurethane waxes, paraffin waxes and microcrystalline waxes may also be incorporated into the gum base to obtain a variety of desirable textures and consistency properties. These individual additional materials are generally employed in amounts of up to about 30% by weight and preferably in amounts of from about 3% to about 20% by weight of the final gum base composition.
The chewing gum composition may additionally include the conventional additives of flavoring agents, coloring agents such as titanium dioxide; emulsifiers such as lecithin and glyceryl monostearate; and additional fillers such as aluminum hydroxide, alumina, aluminum silicates, calcium carbonate, and talc and combinations thereof. These fillers may also be used in the gum base in various amounts. Preferably the amount of fillers when used will vary from about 4% to about 30% by weight of the final chewing gum.
The present invention contemplates the inclusion of those sweeteners well known in the art, including both natural and artificial sweeteners. Thus, sweeteners may be chosen from the following non-limiting list: sugars such as sucrose, glucose (corn syrup), dextrose, invert sugar, fructose, and mixtures thereof; saccharine and its various salts such as the sodium or calcium salt; cyclamic acid and its various salts such as the sodium salt; amino acid-based and dipeptide sweeteners such as aspartame; dihydrochalcone compounds; talin; sucralose; glycyrrhizin; Stevia Rebaudiana (Stevioside); and sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, sorbitol syrup, mannitol, xylitol, and the like. Also contemplated as an additional sweetener is the nonfermentable sugar substitute (hydrogenated starch hydrolysate) which is described in U.S. Pat. No. Re. 26,959. Also contemplated is the synthetic sweetener 3,6-dihydro-6-methyl-1-1,2,3,-oxathiazin-4-one-2,2-dioxide particularly the potassium (Acesulfame-K), sodium and calcium salts thereof as described in German Pat. No. 2,001,017.7.
In general, the amount of sweetener will vary with the desired amount of sweeteners selected for a particular chewing gum. This amount will normally be 0.001% to about 60% by weight when using an easily extractable sweetener. The water-soluble sweeteners are preferably used in amounts of about 25% to about 60% by weight. In contrast, the artificial sweeteners are used in amounts of about 0.005% to about 5.0% and most preferably about 0.05% to about 2.5% by weight of the final gum composition. These amounts are ordinarily necessary to achieve a desired level of sweetness independent from the flavor level achieved from flavor oils.
Flavoring agents well known to the chewing gum art may be added to the chewing gum compositions of the instant invention. Suitable flavorings include both natural and artificial flavors, and mints such as peppermint, menthol, clove, ginger, oil of Wintergreen, kola flavor, kola extract, artificial vanilla, cinnamon, various fruit flavors and essences, both individual and mixed, and the like are contemplated. The flavorings are generally utilized in amounts that will vary depending upon the individual flavor, and may, for example, range in amounts of about 0.5% to about 3% by weight of the final chewing gum composition weight.
The colorants useful in the present invention include the pigments such as titanium dioxide, that may be incorporated in amounts of up to about 1% by weight, and preferably up to about 6% by weight. Also, the colorants may include other dyes suitable for food, drug and cosmetic applications, and known as F.D. & C. dyes and the like. The materials acceptable for the foregoing spectrum of use are preferably water-soluble. Illustrative examples include indigoid dye, known as F.D. & C. Blue No. 2, which is the disodium salt of 5,5'-indigotindisulfonic acid. Similarly, the dye known as F.D. & C. Green No. 1, comprises a triphenylmethane dye and is the monosodium salts of 4-[4-Nethyl-p-sulfobenzylamino)diphenylmethylene]-[1-(N-ethyl-N-p-sulfoniumbenzyl)-2,5-cyclohexadienimine]. A full recitation of all F.D. & C. and D. & C. and their corresponding chemical structures may be found in the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, in Volume 5, at Pages 857-884, which text is accordingly incorporated herein by reference.
The chewing gum formulations are prepared by conventional methods. An illustrative process involves first melting the gum base at a temperature from about 70� C. to about 120� C. and mixing the gum base in a kettle with a liquid softener and/or a emulsifier for 2 to 8 minutes. To this mixture 2/3 to 3/4 of the sweetener ingredient and colors are added and mixing is continued for 1 to 4 minutes. To this mixture the remaining sweetener ingredients are added and while mixing is continued, the flavoring agent is slowly added. Mixing is maintained for 1 to 4 minutes. To this mixture a humectant can be added and mixing is continued for 1 to 4 minutes. The gum is discharged from the kettle and formed into its desired shape such as strips, slabs, chunks, ball ropes and/or center filled.
The chewing gum composition of this invention may additionally include the conventional additives of coloring agents such as titanium dioxide; emulsifiers such as lecithin and glyceryl monostearate; and fillers such as dicalcium phosphate, aluminum hydroxide, alumina, aluminum silicates, talc, calcium carbonate, and combinations thereof. The total amount of fillers present is generally up to about 10% by weight. The inventive compositions can be used to prepare sugar or sugarless chewing gums and may be substantially anhydrous as well. Regular and non-adhering (non-stick) formulations are contemplated. Bubble gum, stick gum, pillow shaped, chunk, coated and other gum piece forms well known to the art are contemplated.
The following examples are given to illustrate the invention, but are not deemed to be limiting thereof. All percentages given throughout the specification are based upon weight of the total chewing gum composition unless otherwise indicated.
Both inventive compositions (I-1 and I-2) and control compositions (C-1 and C-2) were prepared in accordance with conventional gum-making methods. The inventive compositions had a gum base range of from a minimum 16% to a maximum 20% by weight. Below the minimum range the chewing gum did not have sufficient structural integrity to retain its cohesivity during chew. A sloppy chew resulted with the gum falling apart shortly thereafter. Above the 20% base level, the release properties of the chewing gum composition changed substantially, as evidenced by the significant decline in the percent of anesthetic (hexylresourcinol) released in the control compositions (C-1 and C-2). This is due to a high percentage of the active being entrapped in the bolus of the higher content base.
An expert panel was conducted to determine the relative anesthetic effects of the inventive compositions as compared to the control formulations. Additionally, the percent of hexylresourcinol released during mastication was measured by assaying the gum bolus after the chewout was complete. The results of the expert panel chewouts show a significantly greater percentage of hexylresourcinol being released in the inventive compositions as compared to the controls. This correlates with the marked increased in the anesthetic effect perceived in the throat and mouth of the panelists using the inventive compositions.

How are STL List and Vector implement?
I was just asked this in an an interview.
I just said maybe by using binary tree or hash table about vector. not sure about list... Am I wrong, I guess so.. give some ideas thanks.
Hash table or binary tree? Why?
The binary tree you mentioned is the usual implementation of
nothing as fancy as binary trees or hash tables (which can be used for
You can spend half a semester talking about either of the containers, but here are a few points:
So far, very simple and roughly equivalent to any other language or toolset. What's unique about the STL is that the containers are generic and decoupled from the means of iterating over them and (for the most part) from the operations you can perform over them. Some operations can be done particularly efficiently with some containers, so the containers will provide member functions in these cases. For example,
The STL doesn't provide container classes (for the most part), but rather container templates. In other words, when the library talks about a container it only refers to the data type anonymously, say, as
The STL also offers algorithms as free template functions. These algorithms work on iterators, themselves templates. Often iterators come in pairs that denote the beginning and end of a sequence, on which the algorithm operates.
All this abstraction is done at compile-time, and that is the biggest difference when compared to other languages. This translates to outstanding performance with relatively short and concise code. The same performance that in C you'd only get with lots of copy-pasting or hardcoding.
