Heap allocation with copying garbage collection 1s a general storage management technique for programming languages. It is believed to have poor memory system performance, To investigate this, we conducted an in-depth study of the memory system performance of heap allocation for memory systems found on many machines. We studied the performance of mostly functional Standard ML programs which made heavy use of heap allocation. We found that most machmes support heap allocation poorly. However, with the appropriate memory system organization, heap allocation can have good performance. The memory system property crucial for achieving good performance was the ability to allocate and initialize a new object into the cache without a penalty. This can be achieved by having subblock placement with a subblock size of one word with a write-allocate pohcy, along with fast page-mode writes or a write buffer. For caches with subblock placement, the data cache overhead was under 9T0 for a 64K or larger data cache; without subblock placement the overhead was often higher than 50'?o.

Ultimate road-warrior tech at CeBIT
Summary: We've spent the week walking the 30-plus halls at CeBIT to pick out the best pieces of kit for the serious road warrior — whether your need is small, light and cheap or a bit more esoteric, there will be something here for you
Let's face it, most knowledge workers are not power users. For the vast majority of mobile professionals, the Eee PC is the perfect travelling companion, and at CeBIT this year no other laptop generated so much interest — either from the press or from the crowds. Asus has been amazed at the interest shown by corporate buyers who are looking for a light computer that can be used for email, writing and web browsing, as well as being perfectly suitable for spreadsheet work and presentations — if you can can cope with the small screen.
At a little over £200, the original version is cheap enough to be bought on expenses, though the price of the new version with the nine-inch screen brings it into the realm of cheap laptops with larger screens. Due to the lower price, we'd still rate the original Eee PC as the ultimate tech at CeBIT for the road warrior wanting a simple, rugged and, above all, cheap laptop.

November 21, 2014
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - New limits on the use of psychotropic drugs on children in foster care are advancing in the Texas Legislature.
In a 30-1 vote Wednesday, the Senate approved a bill that would require more training for foster parents, notification of biological parents and court monitoring. It would also require a medical evaluation every three months.
The state has adopted several changes since a 2004 report found 42 percent of children in foster care were prescribed psychotropic drugs. But a 2011 federal study found foster children were still medicated at a higher rate than other children.
The bill has already cleared the House. Republican Sen. Jane Nelson of Flower Mound told her colleagues the measure "ensures that medication is not the first option or the only option considered."

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun
By Steve Brennan
By Ashley Zimmerman
There's a strong push within mainstream music to categorize recording artists and stick them in a box. Case in point — take a look at New York-based reggae chanter Matisyahu, and he seems easy enough to classify. With a big religious beard, Hasidic attire, and pale skin, the fact that he gravitates toward reggae as a profession feels like a skit that's ready-made for a Saturday Night Live parody. But if you delve into his music and embrace the solid songwriting and instrumentation attached to it, you'll discover that Matisyahu (born Matthew Miller) is more serious about his craft than most people give him credit for.
He's currently out on the road with a new band, trying out a new sound and gearing up to release a new album, his fourth, in early 2009.
New Times: What's the past year been like for you since the last time you were in South Florida?
Matisyahu: The year has been great, man. I've basically been at my home in Brooklyn and spent most of the year working on my new album. We've got some amazing producers and writers on the record. Musically, it's all going in a really cool direction. We should have some new music to put up on MySpace around September.
When I interviewed you a year ago, you were considering giving up on the Chabbad-Lubovitch sect of Judaism. What did you decide?
A lot of times, you get pigeonholed in life. I had beliefs, and I was at a point where I was reevaluating them. Life is a constant reevaluation of what's important to you and what's real. I'm just trying to continue on that process. I live in a Lubovitch neighborhood in Brooklyn — Crown Heights. Most of my friends are Lubovitch. All of those people have been good friends, good neighbors, and that's where I want to keep it. But that doesn't mean it's where my belief system is. Religiously, I'm still maturing. I started this whole thing, with music and all, as a kid. You just have to leave room to grow, ya know?
Have you decided who you plan to vote for in the upcoming elections?
I haven't fully investigated it yet. All the artists and young people in the industry are behind [Obama]. I don't really run in circles where people are going the opposite way.
What kind of vibe do you get playing shows in South Florida?
It's the best. We don't play down there very often. [pauses for a moment] We'll be at Revolution again. I remember kids were dancing in the streets at the last show. There's a great vibe there. When you have kids just rocking out and partying and having a good time, it's the best.

Rheumatoid arthritis: Protect your health with vaccines
Updated On: Jul 31 2014 02:50:15 PM CDT
Rheumatoid arthritis and the medications used to treat it can increase your risk of developing infections. Vaccinations can help prevent some of these infections.
An autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissue. While rheumatoid arthritis primarily affects tissue lining your joints, it also can affect your lungs, heart, kidneys and eyes.
Rheumatoid arthritis medications work by suppressing your immune system. An unwanted side effect of this suppression, though, is an increased risk of infection — particularly in the lungs.
Doctors recommend that people who have rheumatoid arthritis receive the annual vaccination for respiratory influenza, also known as the flu shot. The nasal spray version contains live virus, so it's not recommended for people with weakened immune systems.
Your doctor might also recommend the pneumonia vaccine and the shingles vaccine. Unlike the pneumonia vaccine, the shingles vaccine contains live virus, so it's not recommended for people taking certain types of rheumatoid arthritis medications.
Talk to your doctor about what vaccinations might be appropriate for you, and when during the course of your treatment is the best time to receive them.

Taking time to be in stillness is important for physical and mental well-being, and it is absolutely vital if we want an inner experience of spirit. It is not easy to quiet the storms of excitement and learn to be comfortable with stillness. Providing opportunities to practice is a priceless gift we can give children.read more

The lectionary-based TEENTEXT GRADES 9-12 resource helps older youth connect the text on the page with events in their daily lives. These resources guide students into the text, and through a series of open-ended, text-related questions, they begin to see the Bible as a vital, dynamic relevant resource–one that can inform them throughout their lives. These resources enable any interested and committed adult to facilitate the discussions, since the leaders aren't expected to have THE answer, or to be Biblical scholars or theologians. They simply need to be good listeners and open to their own spiritual growth. This process also allows the students to share leadership.read more

The idea of a second coming of Christ is a mystery, if not explicitly controversial. Jesus' followers apparently believed he would return during their lifetime after he was crucified. When that didn't happen, later followers gradually changed the belief into an indefinite "someday." After two thousand years of waiting, most Christians no longer look for it to happen in their lifetimes and acknowledge that Jesus may have been speaking metaphorically about his return. It is just as likely that those words were put into Jesus' mouth by the gospel writers themselves. Wishful thinking?read more

As we are inching our way back into church, I wonder whether finding the perfect church is fair to any of them. Is a church closer to humanity — imperfect and growing?

Curtiss-Wright Corp. (NYSE:CW)
The Company manages and evaluates its operations based on the products and services it offers and the different markets it serves.
My yearlong upthumb has been a big loser, with the stock actually slipping while the S&P took off again. Things got even "worse" in Q3, with lowered guidance and vastly decreased revenues leading many investors to jump ship.
So why do I think this company is as good a buy as ever? Almost all of the bad news at CW came out of the Metal Treatment and energy segments, most tied to commercial clients and the overall economy, which has been, surprise, feeble in 2009.
In an environment of government-instigated liquidity, it's the phrases such as "strong increase in sales to our defense markets of $21 million, or 13%, driven by solid growth in both our naval and aerospace defense programs" coupled with "strong growth in our commercial nuclear power market" which make me optimistic. This isn't pie-in-the-sky "wave of the future" stuff; it's political reality. If the loosest spender in town (Uncle Sam) is either buying your products or ordering other people to, you're in a pretty privileged position. And now the stock just got cheaper!
Furthermore, the nine-month numbers aren't nearly as bad, relatively, and it's not like earnings have EVAPORATED. Q3 might be the second-worst of this recession for reports, as investors struggle intellectually to reconcile the recession's theoretical end with ugly year-over-years (remember, '08 Q3 numbers reflect spending which occurred before the serious brake-slamming at the end of '08). I predict the exact opposite in January, with the beginning of 2010 to look downright stunning aside its plain sister, this homely earnings season. A flattening or even an uptick in the beaten-down segments of CW, coupled with accelerated organic growth in the above-mentioned areas, and CW will be on its way back to cruising altitude faster than a taxpayer-funded fighter jet.
I can understanding hating to have bought it in April, but now's not the time to bail.

Turn a Browser into a Scratchpad
Productivity Sauce
Transforming your browser into a scratchpad for jotting down notes is as easy as entering the data:text/html, <html contenteditable> line into the address bar and hitting Enter. There are a lot of variations of this simple trick, and you can find a few of them in a thread on Hacker News. I use a slightly modified version of Writability:
data:text/html;charset=utf-8, <title>Scribbles</title><body OnLoad='document.body.focus();' contenteditable style="font-size:21px;line-height:1.6;font-family:'Alegreya',Alegreya;max-width:21em;margin:0 auto;padding:3rem;background-color:rgb(233,233,225);color:rgb(68,68,68);" spellcheck="false">
This solution looks and behaves like a regular text editor, and it even supports basic text formatting like bold and italics. The only shortcoming of this neat hack is the fact that there is no straightforward way to save the contents. To solve this problem, you can use a simple Bash shell script that appends the current text selection to the scribbles.txt text file:
#!/bin/bashxsel -p >> ~/scribbles.txt
The script uses the xsel utility which is available in the software repositories of many mainstream Linux distributions. To install xsel on Debian or Ubuntu, run the apt-get install xsel command as root. Make the script executable using the chmod +x foo.sh command. Finally, assign a keyboard shortcut to the script. On KDE, this can be done in the Shortcuts and Gestures section of the System Settings panel. To save the contents of the scratchpad, select the entire text and press the assigned shortcut.comments powered by Disqus

Coming Out as a Bentzen Ball Fan and More!
October 11, 2013 by Candace Gingrich, Associate Director, Youth and Campus Engagement Program
A few weeks back HRC Consumer Marketing intern Heidi Hurst blogged about the Bentzen Ball Comedy Festival and asked "Who would have thought equality could be so… hilarious?" As someone who likes to infuse her life with humor, I was intrigued and curious myself. Well, as I type this now my stomach and facial muscles are hurting a bit from how much I laughed last night.
HRC is a beneficiary of the festival so they offered us stage time during opening night. I got to thank the festival organizers Tig Notaro and Brightest Young Things and got to speak briefly about HRC and focused on why coming out still matters. The crowd of 1,200 was welcoming to the message that coming out is still the most powerful thing we can do to turn ignorance into education, for queers and allies alike. And it seems the comedians who were performing heard my bit because almost all of them spoke about coming out – Doug Benson talked about coming out as straight and his plan for celebrating NCOD. In one of the funniest bits of the night, Wyatt Cenec (The Daily Show) shared with us his distrust of vegans and that he'd have no problem if his child were gay, but he would not tolerate a child who was vegan. Tig Notaro, main architect of the festival and out lesbian, closed the show by coming out as someone who may have a horse living in her house. Okay, maybe that coming out doesn't fit the theme, but still…
You still have plenty of opportunities to find out for yourself how hilarious equality can be – there are still tickets available for many of the ten remaining shows. Fans of Will & Grace and Parks & Recreation should note that one show features two Americans for Marriage Equality, Megan Mullaly and Nick Offerman. Enjoy funny people and support HRC at the same time!
A note about my shirt: Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of National Coming Out Day also means the anniversary of Keith Haring's famous image of a person happily dancing out of a closet. Haring was an artist with a purpose, using his unique style to bring attention to social justice issues such as apartheid and HIV/AIDS. HRC is honored that Haring contributed the iconic artwork to NCOD and are releasing two new shirts celebrating both the activist and the art. Get yours today!

Old federal building turns into Residence Inn
The old federal building in downtown Omaha gets new life with plans to turn it into a hotel.
In March, KETV NewsWatch 7 reported the building was going to reopen as a Residence Inn by Marriott. KETV got a sneak peak at the $25 million makeover Thursday.
The 152 rooms are designed with longer-term hotel guests in mind, and since the building is on the National Historic Register, it's retained many of the original features of an 80-year-old, art deco building.
The hotel's operators said the renovation project couldn't have happened without special historic tax credits.
-- Video: New hotel to open in downtown Omaha
"It's always more expensive to restore an old building than it is to tear it down and start from scratch, but you end up with a piece of art and end up with an experience that the guests really enjoy," said Stephen Schwartz, First Hospitality Group CEO.
One person has already reserved the penthouse suite for two weeks around the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder event in May. The suite costs $500 to $1,100 a night.

Most Bears free agents would like to stay

The Bears' season officially ended Sunday, and the team has decisions to make on its 12 free agents.
From the players' perspective, most of them were interested in coming back, even safety Brandon Meriweather.
"I just didn't capitalize on the opportunity the way they wanted me to or the way I felt I should have," Meriweather said. "Everything happens for a reason, so we'll keep it cordial.
"I'm open-minded about playing anywhere, to be honest. I just love to play football. I just got to get back to the basics."
Defensive tackle Amobi Okoye, defensive end Israel Idonije, wide receiver Roy Williams and safety Craig Steltz were among the free agents who expressed a desire to return. Pro Bowl special-teams player Corey Graham reiterated that his preference is to play for a team that gives him a chance to play defense, and tight end Kellen Davis felt underused in the offense.
Pro Bowl running back Matt Forte is an unrestricted free agent, but the Bears could put the franchise tag on him. Running back Kahlil Bell said he still aims to be a starter, but he's a restricted free agent, giving the Bears an opportunity to match any offer for him or receive compensation if he's signed away.
Idonije had a strong finish in Minnesota but had only five sacks for the season.
"I want to be here," Idonije said. "I have an incredible relationship with the coaching staff, and I understand the system. So my No. 1 focus is to stay.
"I'm not worried about any of the other stuff. I've just focused on putting in the work, getting better."
Idonije said he's not necessarily going to go to the highest bidder.
"That's never been my focus," he said. "I have goals that I have set for myself. Without question, Chicago is where I can achieve my goals on the field."
As for Davis, he said he had a strong season blocking, but he lamented that he didn't get more chances to catch more passes.
"Of course, I want to catch more balls, but I did what I could with the opportunities they gave me," said Davis, who led the Bears with five receiving touchdowns. "I've got to see what happens. There's obviously a lot of factors that go into all that. We'll see where the offers are at and who is interested, and weigh it out."
Davis, though, made it clear that the Bears will "always be in the mix."
Other free agents include cornerbacks Tim Jennings and Zack Bowman and quarterback Caleb Hanie.
After being released by the New England Patriots and claimed by the Bears, Meriweather started four games, but he struggled and was benched.
His confidence remains unshaken.
"Oh, my confidence is through the roof; I'll never lose that," he said. "You have to keep your confidence, no matter what. So I still feel like I'm the best safety on the planet."

New commander takes post at sheriff's Ramona station
By Karen Brainard
With nearly 22 years of law enforcement experience in San Diego County, Lt. Hank Turner, the new commander of the sheriff's Ramona station, is no stranger to the issues facing the community.
He comes to the Ramona station after serving two years on the sheriff's Narcotics Task Force. His work there included supervising the 2013 undercover drug operation, known as Operation A Team, at Ramona, Poway and two other high schools that led to 19 arrest warrants, and dealing with an outdoor marijuana grow in the Ramona business park in 2011.
"I've been up here a lot. First time up here for patrol but I've been up here in this community a number of
times," Turner said on Jan. 2. "It's a nice area, I know a lot of people up here."
Turner replaces James Bovet, who was promoted to captain and assigned to the Santee station. Santee and Lakeside are areas that Turner knows well as he formerly worked patrol in those communities.
According to Turner, this is not the first time he has taken over for Bovet, as he did so after Bovet served as a sergeant in the sheriff's child abuse unit.
Turner compared his experience both times to taking over a ship right after it's been repaired.
"I think my predecessor, James, and the deputies here are doing a lot of really good work," he said. "They're concentrating on that 1 percent — the people that are actually out doing crimes that are victimizing the people that are living here. We're going to continue that, which is to deal with the people that are causing the issues."
During Bovet's watch at the Ramona station, the community saw a 48 percent drop in the crime rate. Turner said that was accomplished by targeting drug offenders, repeat offenders and violent offenders, and he continues to do the same. His goal is to keep the crime rate from rising again.
"That's one of the things, when you have a large reduction like that, it usually rebounds a little bit," he said. "We're going to do the best we can to keep it down at the level it's at now."
Both Bovet and Turner have backgrounds in drug enforcement.
For two years Turner ran the Narcotics Task Force with a Drug Enforcement Administration supervisor and a San Diego Police Department lieutenant, overseeing a staff of about 100.
"I think some of the experience I gained there will be very, very helpful in dealing with some of the issues they were facing up here, and I think that's part of why they picked me to come up here," he said.
Turner said if he sees a spike in minor-related drug issues or drug deaths, he would probably look at another undercover operation in the high school.
"The main priority is just their safety," he said. "The impact those chemicals, those drugs have on minors is just incredible. I think they're underestimated. I think as more research shows, it's one thing if the adult chooses to smoke cigarettes or marijuana or drink alcohol, but the impact that those things have on teens and adolescents as they're going through all those hormonal changes, it's just very, very dangerous."
He considers marijuana a gateway drug and said when they find a person with methamphetamine or another hard drug, that person also has marijuana.
Honey oil labs are a dangerous emerging drug trend in the county, he said.
"Basically you take the marijuana and inject some kind of agent into it — butane is a popular one — and it draws the THC out. The problem is during that process it's very, very flammable and it gives off a gas and when the gas ignites it explodes," he explained.
Although Turner said his focus will not just be on narcotics, he knows the drug use impacts the quality of life for the residents.
His primary goal is to have the public feel confident that they live in a safe community.
He also believes in letting his deputies do their jobs effectively and in supporting them, which he said seems simple, "but there's a lot of bureaucracy."
"I feel lucky to take over a place that's being as well run as the Ramona station was," said the 44-year-old lieutenant, who joined the sheriff's department when he was age 23.
Although he and his family do not live in Ramona, Turner said he plans to get out to meet residents and get to know the community better.
"I love my job and I try to do my job to show how I love working in law enforcement," he said.
According to Turner, a high point in his career was his time in the child abuse unit where they experienced an arrest rate almost 100 percent over the previous two years.
The lieutenant also brings emergency management experience to the Ramona station.

WASHINGTON - Microsoft Corp. acknowledged a critical vulnerability Wednesday in nearly all versions of its flagship Windows operating system software, the first such design flaw to affect its latest Windows Server 2003 software.
Microsoft said the vulnerability could allow hackers to seize control of a victim's Windows computer over the Internet, stealing data, deleting files or eavesdropping on e-mails. The company urged customers to immediately apply a free software repairing patch available from Microsoft's Web site.
The disclosure was unusually embarrassing for Microsoft because it demonstrated the first such serious flaw in the company's powerful new computer server software, billed as its safest ever.
The software is aimed at large corporate customers and was the first product sold under a high-profile ''Trustworthy Computing'' initiative organized last year by Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
At the product's launch in late April, Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer declared the new version of Wi ndows to be a ''breakthrough in terms of what it means, in terms of its built-in security and reliability.''
The flaw, discovered by researchers in western Poland, also affected Windows ve rs ions popular among home users.
''This is one of the worst Windows vulnerabilities ever,'' said Marc Maiffret, an executive at eEye Digital Security Inc. of Aliso Viejo, Calif., whose researchers discovered similarly dangerous flaws in at least three earlier versions of Windows.
Microsoft said corporate firewalls commonly block the type of data connections that hackers outside a company would need for these attacks. The flaw affects Windows technology used to share data files across computer networks.
Maiffret said that inside vulnerable corporations, ''until they have this patch installed, it will be Swiss cheese — anybody can walk in and out of their servers.''
Microsoft spent hundreds of millions of dollars on security improvements for its latest Windows software and included new technology to defend against a category of hacker attacks known as ''buffer overflows,'' which can trick software into accepting dangerous commands.
But four Polish researchers, known as the ''Last Stage of Delirium Research Group,'' said they discovered how to bypass the additional protections Microsoft added, just three months after the software went on sale.
The head of Microsoft's security response center, Kevin Kean, said improving Windows software is an ongoing process. ''We continue to try to make it better and when we find a situation where techniques we've built into the system are not perfect, we go out and fix them,'' Kean said.
Microsoft also acknowledged a separate design flaw affecting only Windows XP, but it was deemed less serious because hackers would have to already have broken into a corporate network to attack victims. The company also released a patch for it.
Although the Polish researchers created a tool to demonstrate the more serious vulnerability and break into victim computers, they promised not to release blueprints for such software onto the Internet.
''We're fully aware of the potential impact,'' group member Tomasz Ostwald said in a telephone interview. ''We don't plan to publish this code at the moment. It's too dangerous.''
