A byte code reader provides verification while optimizing and creating an internal SSA form to allow efficient machine code generation. Many functions are combined in one component honoring the difficult time constraints of just-in-time translation. This reader is engineered for retargeting and thus expedites the implementation of a JIT for any platform. The reader takes two single passes over the byte codes: a first pass that builds a flow graph using any set of rules for node creation, and maps definitions from the byte codes onto the flow graph nodes, and a second pass that translates whatever is in the byte codes into optimized machine code (or a traditional compiler intermediate form) with an embedded SSA graph. Global verification and global optimization are implemented while reading. Two data structures and a main program loop are provided. The data structures are used to allow the creation of a flow graph, and an exception handling (EH) graph.

identifying a plurality of definitions in the IL;
mapping the definitions to the flow graph nodes;
translating the IL into a compiler intermediate representation;
performing global verification and optimization of the compiler intermediate representation in a single pass; and
populating the flow graph nodes with the compiler intermediate representation,

This invention relates in general to the field of compilers. More particularly, this invention relates to reading intermediate language code produced by a compiler and the optimization and verification of such intermediate language code within the difficult time constraints of just-in-time translation.
Intermediate language (IL) code, such as MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language, produced by Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington) or Java byte codes, is produced by a compiler at development time and then converted (e.g., JIT'ed or just-in-time translated) to machine code on a client machine. Conventionally, for each processor or platform supported, a different JIT compiler (referred to herein as a JIT) must be developed. Additionally, one of the typical steps performed by the client machine at run time is to verify the IL (or byte code stream) as part of the JIT process.
A JIT performs just-in-time translation of abstract byte codes to machine code under very tight time constraints that a normal compiler would not deal with. Conventionally, the prior art shows that a JIT will perform several passes (in different components) to produce optimized machine code that has been verified as safe for the target architecture. This invention improves on the prior art by performing both verification and optimizations in the JIT's reader, simultaneously, so that the resulting internal representation also contains an embedded form of analysis typically used for many traditional compiler optimizations. Additionally, this machine independent component can be easily re-targeted for many different processors. Thus, the invention provides a method to combine many functions in one pass which is a significant improvement to the prior art in an area (just-in-time translation) where time is critical.
The present invention is directed to a software system component that initially reads an intermediate language (IL), in the form of a byte code stream, for just-in-time translations (JITs). This IL is normally referred to as byte codes within the context of a Java implementation or MSIL for Microsoft's .Net platform. This reader provides verification, optimization, the creation of static single assignment (SSA), and expedites the implementation of a JIT for many different platforms. Specifically, the reader can verify the input (e.g., MSIL byte codes), create a flow graph that models asynchronous exception handling, allow a client to plug-in custom IL generation routines, optimize �on the fly� while verifying and constructing an SSA graph.
Thus, the invention allows any JIT (using this reader component) to come out of the reader phase, fully verified, in a partially optimized intermediate compiler representation that contains an embedded form of analysis for final machine code generation.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the reader takes two passes over the IL: a first pass builds a connected flow graph where paths in the graph represent possible paths of execution and the nodes indicate sections of the graph that are single entrance single exit. This pass also maps definition points from the IL into flow graph nodes. Given the definition points and the flow graph, the reader can then calculate all the points that SSA would require a phi function. The second pass translates whatever is in the IL into machine code for each appropriate flow graph node (while embedding SSA UD edges in the resulting machine code data structures). According to features of the invention, global verification and global optimization can be performed during the reader's steps to instantiate a compiler's internal representation for code generation. Aspects of the present invention include a flow graph, an exception handling (EH) graph, and a reader loop.
Features of the invention also include a portion of the reader that can digest an extended SSA (ESSA) encoding produced by a development compiler. The development compiler that creates the initial byte codes that this reader inputs, only has to decorate the byte codes with an ESSA graph that captures the complex alias relationships involving definitions and uses. The extended SSA encoding allows a JIT (with the reader) to perform target-specific, complex, global optimizations traditionally performed only in a native compiler. Specifically, this is made possible within the stringent time constraints of a JIT by forcing the analysis time into the development compiler which then transmits all the analysis information to the JIT in the form of another SSA graph, namely ESSA. This reader (optionally) uses this ESSA information to enhance its final SSA graph.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be made apparent from the following detailed description of illustrative embodiments that proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description of preferred embodiments, is better understood when read in conjunction with the appended drawings. For the purpose of illustrating the invention, there is shown in the drawings exemplary constructions of the invention; however, the invention is not limited to the specific methods and instrumentalities disclosed. In the drawings:
The present invention is directed to an intermediate language (IL) reader that generates a flow graph and maps definitions from the IL into the flow graph nodes. A loop parses the IL instruction stream (byte code stream) and populates the flow graph nodes with pointers into the byte code stream. Verification and optimization are also provided.
A client is given a base class for a flow graph node and a base class for a node in an exception handling (EH) try-region graph. Additionally, there is a reader class which contains the code to loop over the IL byte codes. The reader class allows a compiler to splice its specific IL into an appropriate flow graph node that may point to a node in the EH graph.

Exemplary Distributed Computing Frameworks Or Architectures
Various distributed computing frameworks have been and are being developed in light of the convergence of personal computing and the Internet. Individuals and business users alike are provided with a seamlessly interoperable and web-enabled interface for applications and computing devices, making computing activities increasingly web browser or network-oriented.
For example, MICROSOFT�'s .NET platform includes servers and building-block services, such as web-based data storage and downloadable device software. Generally speaking, the .NET platform provides (1) the ability to make the entire range of computing devices work together and to have user information automatically updated and synchronized on all of them, (2) increased interactive capability for web sites, enabled by greater use of XML rather than HTML, (3) online services that feature customized access and delivery of products and services to the user from a central starting point for the management of various applications, such as e-mail, for example, or software, such as Office .NET, (4) centralized data storage, which will increase efficiency and ease of access to information, as well as synchronization of information among users and devices, (5) the ability to integrate various communications media, such as e-mail, faxes, and telephones, (6) for developers, the ability to create reusable modules, thereby increasing productivity and reducing the number of programming errors, and (7) many other cross-platform integration features as well.
While exemplary embodiments herein are described in connection with software residing on a computing device, one or more portions of the invention may also be implemented via an operating system, application programming interface (API) or a �middle man� object between a coprocessor and requesting object, such that services may be performed by, supported in, or accessed via all of .NET's languages and services, and in other distributed computing frameworks as well.
A reader is provided that passes over the IL (byte codes) to build a flow graph and to map definitions from that IL (byte codes possibly received over a network) into the containing flow graph nodes. The IL is thereafter translated into machine code, records, data elements, or tuples, for example. A static single assignment (SSA) is incorporated to provide global verification and global optimization.
As the internal representations are built, an SSA is generated. Using the SSA and the phi functions, global verification and optimization are performed while reading in the IL, during the second pass, at step 250. In this manner, a single pass is used to perform global verification and optimization, and dead code (i.e., unreachable code) is not created as it is avoided in the second pass. Specifically, unreachable code is never materialized in the JIT because during the second pass, it is determined that such code is contained in a flow graph node that has no predecessors, and therefore can be ignored during the second pass. Moreover, preferably, zero initializers are implemented during optimization. Zero initializers refers to a lookahead technique for the second operand of a phi function, to determine whether it is defined, and then initializing it to zero, if not. The single pass technique is fast, less prone to error and provably generates a program devoid of un-initialized local variables.
Using a flow graph with pointers back to the IL (step 210), IL definition points are mapped to the appropriate flow graph nodes. Definition points include parameters upon entry, stores to locals, and scalars on the stack at the end of a block (also referred to herein as a node). It is desirable to map global definition points at certain offsets in IL (a linear description) to points in a two-dimensional flow graph.
Thus, in a two pass reader, definition points are gathered (step 210) in the first pass of the reader while building the flow graph. These definitions preferably come from: (1) analysis of unaliased scalars (parameters, locals, and stacks), and (2) an ESSA that is augmenting the file from which the byte codes are read.
The definition points are gathered in terms of IL file offsets, as shown in
To populate the nodes of the flow graph with a compiler's intermediate form used for machine code generation, the byte code stream is traversed a second time(step 240). This traversal is guided by using the flow graph (with pointers back into the byte codes). The flow graph is traversed in a predetermined order (e.g., down one side of the flow graph, such as flow graph 300, and then up the other side). The machine code, records, data elements, or tuples are filled in for each basic block which corresponds to a flow graph node. Preferably, optimization is performed, and an SSA graph is created on the fly during this process.
SSA is used to provide global verification in a single pass without iteration. During an optional step, when the machine code, records, data elements, or tuples are being filled in for each basic block, optimization can be performed to generate an SSA form. In the second pass, as the code is being compiled, optimization/verification can be performed while creating the SSA graph. The definition numbers correspond to a stack that would be used during the renaming phase of SSA.
A �JIT-temp� is defined herein as an element that is pushed on the stack and is not consumed by the end of one of the basic blocks in the flow graph. It is desirable to identify all the JIT-temps and build phi functions for these before the reader's second pass where code generation is performed. It is desirable that the stack height at any join point be the same along all edges.
In the first pass, the blocks or nodes are built and the net contribution to the stack height is determined upon exit from each block. Phi functions are then built based on the abstract type-less tuple <block, live-out-top-of-stack-index>. If a block has a net contribution to the stack height along a path in the flow graph, then these will correspond to the N top of stack elements upon exit from the block.
During the first pass, the �net� contribution a basic block can make to a path in the flow graph is determined. Thus, the function that creates the phi nodes reasons about JIT-temp definition points as type-less abstract names <block_number, stack-index>.
As an example, with respect to
If the dominance frontier for BB(13) was calculated, then a phi node could be created for each of these abstract definition names. Thus, a flow graph (before tuple creation and after phi node insertion) would look like that provided in
In this example, the join point must have at least three elements live on the stack along either path. A problem is that the first pass does not allow the definition point(s) and their associated type within the blocks to be precisely determined. The number of items live into each block is desired in order to identify the actual definition points that are within a block and that are live on exit. Abstract type-less names for definitions are created in the first pass, namely the tuples <BB(13), 2>. These names represent the basic block and the outgoing top-of-stack index. Given a block and a name, phi functions can be created. Binding types and verification are not implemented until the second pass.
The second pass of the reader performs a pre-order traversal of the flow graph filling in the JIT's code, records, data elements, or tuples. Because the phi functions have been inserted before the second pass, an SSA renaming can be performed during tuple creation. Global verification can also be performed using this same mechanism.
Thus, for verification of the JIT-temps, the renaming phase merges the correct phi functions so that during the pre-order traversal of the graph, this SSA renaming phase can make the proper correspondence of specific definition points in blocks to the operands in finalized phi functions with the correct number of operands. Furthermore, the renaming phase preferably creates a work list of IL operations to verify. The work list comprises operations that use the finalized phi function definitions.
Thus, in the example, the phi functions PHI (<BB(13)>, 2) and PHI (<BB(7)>, 1) should be merged to properly represent the confluence of a single JIT-temp defined in basic block 13 (element 510) and in basic block 11 (element 530). This is seen as merging the top-of-stack upon leaving BB(7) (element 520) with the stack element that is two deep from top-of-stack upon exiting BB(13).
Eventually, these two phi functions should look like this finalized phi function: actual_stack_height=phi(type1, type2). This phi function describes the type(s) a certain stack element can have at a particular point of confluence. A problem during the preorder traversal (i.e., the second pass of the reader) is that the pre-order traversal only allows the type of a JIT-temp to be determined along one edge of a confluence point at a time. Thus, the phi nodes can be translated into finalized phi nodes one �path� at a time.
The SSA renaming technique looks ahead at each join point and renames one operand of phi. That operand corresponds to the edge into the join point currently being traversed. In the JIT-temp scenario, the merging of the phi functions contained in a join point is provided.
If during the first pass, blocks 13 and 11 are marked as having definitions that are live on exit, then during the renaming pass the actual TYPE can be binded with the abstract name (<BB(13)>, tos-index) used to create the phi functions.
During the renaming phase when join points are looked ahead into, the SSA renaming stacks are used with the TYPES that are binded to the renaming stack elements to actually modify the correct phi functions.
For example, if the flow graph is traversed along the path that contained block 13 into the join point, the phi node would be changed as shown in node 500 in
Thus, when the renaming phase comes down the path into the join involving BB(7) (node 520), a change is made by using the actual stack height and the basic block number of the definition site. What remains is that the two phi functions from each edge traversal: actual_height=phi(type 13), and actual_height_phi(type7) is changed to the finalized phi function with the correct number of operands: actual_height=phi(type13, type7), as shown in node 500 in
Regarding the issue of a pre-order traversal only seeing one side at a time, if a use (i.e., an operand for an IL opcode) is placed somewhere after the join as illustrated above, then during the single pass over the block containing that use, only the one dominating definition will be present: actual_height=phi(type13). This is before actual_height=phi(type13, type7) is created.
Thus, a work list item is created for the IL instruction that uses the phi node and the work list is passed over after all the phi nodes have been finalized. Therefore, global verification of an IL instruction that has an operand which may involve JIT-temps defined along multiple paths would involve work list elements: IL-OP SRC1(type) SRC2(phi(type13, type7)). The actual data structure could be an IL opcode and two type fields for the operands. The type fields would involve a single type or a list of type (i.e., a phi node with types as operands).
This JIT architecture changes global verification into local verification on a list of operations in a work list where some of the operand types are the union of all the operands in finalized phi functions.
Exception handling (EH) can complicate verification, flow graph construction, and code generation. An embodiment of the present invention shields a developer from these details by performing the analysis and encapsulating the desired information in a customizable flow graph and a connected EH try-region graph. The flow graph and the EH try-region graph are now described by example, with respect to the following C# example.
Initially, a try-region graph is built by encapsulating the lexical precedence of the various EH regions dictated by the semantics of the user's source code. The resulting try-region-graph 800 for the example is shown in
A try-region graph is a tree and is an abstraction that looks analogous to a dominator tree imposed on a flow graph. A difference is that the arcs modeling EH constructs indicate lexical relationships in source code. Lexical precedence cannot be rediscovered from all flow graphs. Thus, a shareable reader is built around a flow graph that can be deleted and rebuilt, along with an invariant tree modeling exception handling.
It is noted that the specific try-region graph 800 in
There are bidirectional links between the flow graph and the try-region graph. The try-region graph maintains offsets into the IL that was originally parsed. Furthermore, the try-region graph is a compiler invariant that is preferably never destroyed and rediscovered. The flow graph preferably can be destroyed and rebuilt at any time. Rebuilding the flow graph will guarantee a parent link from every flow graph node back to the proper try region node. Moreover, the try-region graph can be modified due to discovery of unreachable code or code generation due to synchronous methods. Rebuilding the flow graph always re-establishes the correct link to the parent try region node.
Together, the try-region graph and the flow graph capture two different types of ordering constraints: possible runtime execution paths and lexical precedence imposed by EH syntax.
The IL byte stream and the try-region graph are used to construct the flow graph. During a pass of the IL byte codes, only those instructions that affect flow are noted. The try-region graph is superimposed on the skeleton flow graph, so that the final flow graph has the following properties: (1) a lexical EH boundary (denoted by the try-region graph) always breaks a basic block; (2) an edge (in the flow graph) is placed from the first block of a protected region to the first block of each of its associated handlers; and (3) each basic block (in the flow graph) has a parent pointer back to the unique node in the try-region graph to which the block is a member.
For the example, the flow graph 900 is shown in 9. The dashed edges 910 are asynchronous edges. During the flow graph construction, the flow sensitive verification of the code with regard to EH is performed. In particular, the rules pertaining to non-local flow (e.g., goto statements into and out of various protected regions and handlers) will be verified.
In the C# source example, there is a goto which leaves the inner most catch region and targets a label outside of any EH constructs (line 20 in the example, modeled as the dashed edge 920 in
According to an embodiment, catches and finallys are both implemented as funclets. Consequently, a goto which exits a region nested in catch regions preferably includes code which unwinds the stack frame associated with each of the catches going out of scope when the goto is taken. In the particular case of the source example, the EHNodeBase for the inner most catch region would have a pointer pointing to the �goto Done� instruction, and this pointer would be associated with a list which points to both catch regions in the try-region-graph, thereby telling the JIT that it should place code to unwind both of the catch's stack frames when implementing the goto.
The NonLocalGotos list is desirable for knowing when to call finallys. If there is a non-local goto which requires that finallys be executed before the jump is taken, then the goto itself will preferably be in the NonLocalGotos list and have an associated list of the finally regions which desirably will be called. This list can be used, along with the fact that finallys are implemented as funclets, to inject calls to the finallys prior to taking the jump.
At this point, a flow graph and a try-region graph have been created and point to each other. These two graphs are empty. A pass is made over the IL byte codes to allow a client to fill in its compiler specific IL nodes local to each basic block. Because a flow graph exists with pointers both to IL and the try-region graph, a pre-order traversal of the flow graph is performed, reading the byte codes between the beginning and ending IL offsets.
The reader loop does not instantiate any IL in a flow graph node that is unreachable. This is because the IL generation is demand driven by a pre-order traversal of a connected flow graph. Thus, the JIT does not have to build up and then tear down any IL that is dead.
The pre-order traversal that drives the loop can be exploited for (optional) optimization while reading. If the client augments the flow graph with dominator information or bit vectors that describe the iterated dominance frontier for each flow graph node, then a client could, while reading: create an SSA; remove local and global redundancy elimination; register variable detection (i.e., lifetimes assigned only to registers); perform constant propagation; and carry out expression optimization.
Thus, by taking advantage of the flow graph that is created before instantiating the IL, a compiler implementation can come out of this proposed reader in a customized IL form that is verified, partially optimized, and in an SSA form.
Verification is optional, and preferably, the client is not aware of verification being performed. �Simple� opcodes are defined as opcodes that can be verified by following a sequence of basic operations. Each simple opcode maps to a sequence, which is not necessarily unique. For example, ADD and SUB are equivalent from a verification standpoint. These basic operations are typically used in many opcode sequences. Verification of simple opcodes is modeled after the conventional PEVerify where the sequences of operations are represented as character strings. The following method is used: table mapping IL opcode ->character string. The strings are of the form <pop sequence>:<push sequence>. Push and pop sequence are characters that represent a sequence of actions that verify the instruction. An example is shown in Table 1.
Most opcodes that map to strings containing a �!� are complex. There are CALL, CALLVIRT, NEWOBJ, field accessors, etc. This verification will take place in a conventional manner.
Thus, in summary, a data structure is provided, and a flow graph is created. The graph captures flow for any arbitrary EH construct. Each node contains start and end offsets corresponding to extents in the IL code bytes for the second pass over the IL byte codes. EH-related flow verification takes place within this method and a work list is built for handling verification failures. During the second pass, the IL bytes are passed over again, allowing a new compiler backend to insert its particular IL nodes per IL opcode. The node is inserted into the correct flow graph node which is passed as a parameter. Type verification per operand and global verification at points of confluence takes place within this method. Upon completion of parsing and verifying IL, using this reader, an implementation is given a flow graph, with properly demarcated EH regions and its own IL optionally in SSA form.
As mentioned above, while exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described in connection with various computing devices and network architectures, the underlying concepts may be applied to any computing device or system in which an IL reader is desired. Thus, the techniques for IL reader implementation in accordance with the present invention may be applied to a variety of applications and devices. While exemplary programming languages, names and examples are chosen herein as representative of various choices, these languages, names and examples are not intended to be limiting.
The various techniques described herein may be implemented in connection with hardware or software or, where appropriate, with a combination of both. Thus, the methods and apparatus of the present invention, or certain aspects or portions thereof, may take the form of program code (i.e., instructions) embodied in tangible media, such as floppy diskettes, CD-ROMs, hard drives, or any other machine-readable storage medium, wherein, when the program code is loaded into and executed by a machine, such as a computer, the machine becomes an apparatus for practicing the invention. In the case of program code execution on programmable computers, the computing device will generally include a processor, a storage medium readable by the processor (including volatile and non-volatile memory and/or storage elements), at least one input device, and at least one output device.
While the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments of the various figures, it is to be understood that other similar embodiments may be used or modifications and additions may be made to the described embodiment for performing the same function of the present invention without deviating therefrom.

Under cabinet LED bulbs flickering
Have a weird issue with my under cabinet lights I can't figure out.
I'm using bi pin hockey puck style lights, but I replaced the halogen bulbs with the lower voltage, longer lasting, cooler running, LED bulbs.
The bulbs flicker, very slightly, it's subtle but it's enough to make me crazy. My wife can barely notice the flickering, but Ic an and I can't live with them as they are.
They are on a regular light switch and are hard wired and are all inline together, there is no dimmer used with these lights. I cut out wood stained it to match the under cabinets, then cut out circles to mount the pucks into so all wires would be hidden for a nice clean custom look.
I tried a few things. If I replace the last LED bulb inline with the regular halogen bi pin bulb they stop flickering completely. At first I thought it was a bad LED bulb, but I swapped out the bad bulb with the second to last bulb with the halogen last and they still don't flicker, so the LED bulb I thought was bad isn't the cause of the annoying flickering.
I'm using LED bulbs like the one shown below (notice the bi-pin halogen bulb in the pic they replaced)
The lights use the below transformer I have hidden in the center cabinet, but I really don't think there is anything wrong with the transformer as the one halogen bulb installed with the other 5 LEDs prevents the flickering from happening.

Don't mind the missing door, I'm in the process of adding trim to the cabinets and plan on painting them a cream color with some pinstripe glazing.
If anyone has any idea as to why this would happen, or if you have experienced the same thing I would appreciate to hear your thoughts. I've searched all over the web and only found issues from flickering LEDs used with a dimmer which isn't the case with mine. I really don't want to run the halogen bulbs.

This reminds me of recessed kitchen lights flickering stories, where to avoid flickering in some (older) set ups, you need to have a least one incandescent bulb amongst the new LED bulbs. Why don't you try posting in the kitchen forum too with this question or doing a search there.
Good luck. How annoying flickering is.
It is perhaps a bad LED driver design in the pucks. What vendor and part number are the LEDs? Could also be that the transformer is not happy with the load (too low, or the fact that no current is drawn until the voltage in each cycle gets up a bit).
Thanks for the insight.
Don't have the packaging anymore,they're like 3-4 years old, just got around to installing them now. The vendor I purchased the LED bulbs from has a transformer he tested with the same 5 bulbs as these and they were perfect. I guess I will have to splice in a different transformer, not what I wanted to have to do since it won't be nice and neat.
Is there anything else that can be done inline instead of changing out the transformer?

In the United States, a succession of lost legal battles forced opponents of public education in evolution to downgrade their goals repeatedly. By the 1980s, evolution was ensconced in the biology curricula of public schools, and references to the creator of life were illegal. The question of the day was whether instruction in creation, without reference to the creator, as an alternative explanation of life violated the constitutional separation of church and state. In 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court decided that it did, and intelligent design (ID) rose from the ashes of creation science. ID may be seen as a downgraded form of creation. While the creation science movement sought to have biology students introduced to the notion that creation is evident in the complexity of living things, the ID movement sought to have students introduced to the notion that design, intelligence, and purpose are evident,3 ID preserves everything in the notion of creation but making.

Stocks fell more than 1% last week on the continued parade of conflicting U.S. economic data as well as some renewed nervousness over Spanish bank finances. The market's second consecutive weekly drop marked the end of a strong third quarter, with equities returning a solid 6%.
Nevertheless, lately it seems that whenever investor focus shifts from the Federal Reserve's persistent easing efforts to the lukewarm economic numbers, the market drifts downward.
While a report out Friday suggested Spain would need less money than expected to recapitalize its banks, the nation's finances stilled weighed on the U.S. market. Investors fear a possible downgrade soon from Moody's, which currently has Madrid at just one notch above junk status.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1% last week, or 142 points, to 13,437.13, while the Standard & Poor's 500 index lost 1.3%, or 19.48, to 1440.67. In the third quarter the index rose 5.7%, and it's up 14.6% year to date. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 2% last week, or 64 points, to 3116.23.
Friday the Institute for Supply Management said its Chicago purchasing manager index fell to 49.7 in August from 53.0 in July, weaker than expectations. Earlier in the week, second-quarter growth in gross domestic product was revised down to a 1.3% annual rate from 1.7%. Yet jobless claims fell sharply for the week ended Sept. 22, the Labor Department said last week.
The market's back to focusing on what's happening in the domestic economy, and "it's not rosy," says Malcolm Polley, president of Stewart Capital Advisors. The Chicago PMI is more indicative of what's really happening, he says: "It suggests a slow economy and one that can't gain speed." For both investors and corporate managers, the elections and the fiscal cliff loom large. "You can't plan for next year if you don't know the tax code, for example," Polley adds.
Marc Pado, who runs DowBull, an investment advisory firm, concurs. "Investors and companies are unwilling to invest. Uncertainty is holding us back," he says. "It's all about politics and how the next three months are going to go" with respect to the elections and any resolution of the fiscal cliff. In the short term, the market's likely to be range-bound until the elections, he adds.
UP NEXT WEDNESDAY is the beginning of the debates between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
One of the industries whose fortunes are most exposed to the coming U.S. elections is the defense sector. The group's performance has been mixed since Aug. 2, 2011. That's when Congress passed the Budget Control Act, which made the threat of 2013 sequestration of Defense Department funds and automatic spending cuts a realistic possibility.

The Pain of Sequestration
The market views defense-spending sequestration as unlikely, but Lazard analyst Michael Lewis sees it as the most likely scenario short of a Republican election sweep. Potential drops in 2013 defense company revenue and EPS are listed below.

Since then, the group has partially discounted the risk of sequestration but not all of it, says Michael Lewis, a Lazard Capital Markets analyst. However, most of the investment community, he says, views sequestration as something that won't occur: "The feeling is, it's so bad that it won't happen."
But Lewis isn't as sanguine, and he's gone to the considerable trouble of attempting to handicap what 14 companies with Pentagon revenue stand to lose in sales and earnings per share in 2013 if sequestration were actually to begin Jan. 2. (See nearby table.) Lewis says sequestration is the most likely scenario short of a Republican sweep in the November elections, a prospect that seems to grow dimmer by the day.
Perhaps investors aren't as prepared as they think. At its most basic, sequestration means some $54 billion would come out of annual national-security spending, nearly all of that from the Defense Department.

Not every defense stock has performed directly in line with its sequestration exposure. Flir shares, for example, are down 22%, and some of that could be due to European sales exposure. But CACI is down only 2% even as it is more exposed. Lewis says its management has been executing well, and the company has a strong following among institutional investors.
Besides profits and losses from sequestration, the human element will be painful as well. Lewis says full implementation could eventually lead to job losses of 4% to 6%, or 26,000 to 39,000 workers, among the 14 major companies in the table.
That's going to galvanize legislators. Although Lewis expects sequestration, he tempers that view with a belief that the new Congress, faced with those layoffs, will probably come to some kind of budget agreement in the first or second quarter of 2013 that will supersede the automatic across-the-board cuts required by sequestration.
A Republican sweep, Lewis says, could lead to a quick bounce in defense shares. Short of that, however, once sequestration looks to be a certainty, the stocks, some of them already down, will most likely suffer another significant drop, he warns.

U.S.: NYSE USD15.33 0.09 0.5905511811023622% /Date(1427403785064-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 8398026 AFTER HOURS USD15.4 0.07 0.45662100456621% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 80481 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 5288126866.23041 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 641068 More quote details and news » (RIG). The global oil-services and drilling company has a market value of $16.1 billion.
Brazilian federal prosecutors served Transocean last Thursday with a preliminary injunction to cease operations there within 30 calendar days. Chevron CVX -0.39746380240370965% Chevron Corp. U.S.: NYSE USD105.25 -0.42 -0.39746380240370965% /Date(1427403797433-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7232355 AFTER HOURS USD105.43 0.18 0.171021377672209% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 44576 P/E Ratio 9.621185805437227 Market Cap 198678622832.922 Dividend Yield 4.066508313539193% Rev. per Employee 2963760 More quote details and news » (CVX) was served as well. That move follows a drilling accident at the Frade offshore Brazil oil field last November that released less than 4,000 barrels of oil into the Atlantic.
Transocean said it "is vigorously pursuing the overturn or suspension of the preliminary injunction, including through an appeal to the Superior Court of Justice. Absent relief from the courts, Transocean will be required to comply with the preliminary injunction."
The bet here is whether Transocean's legal efforts will be successful against the prosecutors. The company has 10 rigs under contract for work in Brazil, which represented 11% of revenue for the first half of 2012. Analysts estimate that every lost month in Brazil will cost Transocean about 15 to 20 cents in earnings per share, at least until they redeploy the rigs.
Since Wall Street is looking for about $3 EPS this year and $4.59 next year, should Transocean have to shut down operations in Brazil for a stretch, it's going to hurt. Last year revenue was $9.1 billion.
Meanwhile, its stock, which closed at $44.89 Friday, fell 7.5% on the week and is down almost 50% from 2011 highs. Transocean still hasn't settled all the potential and substantial litigation involving the Macondo Gulf of Mexico well blowout and fire in April 2010. That has cost $4 billion so far in downtime, legal costs, and other knock-on effects. Transocean stock trades at a price/ earnings ratio of 15, a bit less than its historical median. Net debt stands at $9 billion.
Common sense suggests Transocean has a good chance of prevailing in Brazil. The penalty seems disproportionate to the spill. Both the national regulator National Petroleum Agency—which has said Transocean crews did nothing wrong—and government-controlled energy giant Petroleo Brasileiro pbr -3.9800995024875623% Petroleo Brasileiro S/A ADS U.S.: NYSE USD5.79 -0.24 -3.9800995024875623% /Date(1427403688097-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 44861712 AFTER HOURS USD5.77 -0.02 -0.3454231433506045% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 411885 P/E Ratio 4.402707018477682 Market Cap 40339501228.9441 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 1686500 More quote details and news » (PBR) continue to support Transocean's efforts. (Transocean operates numerous rigs for the Brazilian oil giant.) Brazil needs to develop its huge deposits of offshore oil resources and to use the expertise of companies like Transocean.
But the cooler-heads-will-prevail theory has a flaw. The decision will be made by a court following procedures and laws and might not take account of the painful economic impact of Transocean's departure. The uncertainty is high.
For the short term, at least, this stock has become a speculative bet rather than a long-term investment.
Channing Smith, a portfolio manager at Capital Advisors, which has held Transocean shares for about a year, is guardedly optimistic that the company will prevail for all the reasons we've noted above. He thinks Transocean will rebound, but he also warns the Brazilian litigation could be a drawn-out process, and "that wouldn't be good for the stock…This is a stock with hair on it."
Institutional investors can afford to place a small bet on a Transocean rebound. However, widows and orphans and individual investors who are tempted might be better served by waiting and letting the Brazilian judicial waters calm. The risk of missing a nice 10% jump if Transocean gets the injunction suspended or lifted must be compared with another sharp drop if it is unsuccessful.
Moreover, should the company get clear of this mess, there will probably be another chance of further gains after the initial rebound.

November 21, 2013
The Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners this week unanimously repealed a cargo fee that has been on the Southern California seaport's books since 2008 but implementation was delayed repeatedly and the fee was never collected.
The repealed fee would have been a charge on each cargo container to help fund roadway and railway improvements in and around the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.
The "Infrastructure Cargo Fee" when adopted in 2008 was started in conjunction with the Port of Los Angeles, which also never collected the fee and also repealed the fee recently.
The fee was supposed to have been $15 per 20-foot equivalent shipping container. It was later lowered to $6.
Although the fee was never implemented, the Port of Long Beach has moved forward with its efforts to modernize and make capital improvements using other revenue sources, according to the board.

March 30, 2015
BAHGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- The violence between supporters and opponents of Thailand's government has escalated to new levels.
Anti-government demonstrators have swarmed the international airport in Bangkok, putting a stop to departing flights. This, as the two sides fought in the streets of the city.
Minutes after the outbound flights were suspended, hundreds of demonstrators broke through police lines and spilled into the passenger terminal.
Incoming flights are still operating.
The airport manager says authorities tried unsuccessfully to negotiate with the protesters. They accuse the country's prime minister (Somchai Wongsawat) of being a puppet of his disgraced predecessor. They've occupied his offices since August, demanding his resignation.
A tourist from North Carolina, Daniel Garmona, was caught up in the chaos at the airport. He says he's never seen anything like it -- and that he's glad it didn't turn violent.

Oh god - this is amazing. I have been playing Picross DS for a while now and some of the bigger puzzles really aren't all that great on the smaller screen. Now there's this and I am addicted all over again. BWAH.
Great work though.
I love this version ^_^
This is a much better version of the Picross game. I love the colors, the ability to mute, the ability to jump around instead of doing the easy ones first, and the general awesomeness of the game.
Things to improve on: More of a difference between the puzzles being finished and unfinished, and a way to save the progress--it won't let me save, so every time I come back, I almost feel the need to restart and do every puzzle again. >_<
Everything really has been said. But too bad that there's no deluxe center any more. Should have bought it when I still had the chance :(

Bees stuck and dead on milkweed flower
dirtboy58(Zone 7 MD)June 30, 2009
I planted some milkweeds and am happy about the long awaited blooms. But I find dead bees on them...why? What can I do? Dang I plant for the insects, but wouldn't kill a bee if I had to. Thanks!
Sit and watch a milkweed plant for a while and you will see bees struggling to get away. I believe it has something to do with the pollen. The first time I saw it, a bees was going in circles and after taking a close look, it was trying to free it's leg. I've seen it happen many times since

March 9th, 1959 is a special day in pop culture history: the Barbie doll made its debut on this day at the American International Toy Fair in New York! Therefore, it's safe to say that today marks the 53rd birthday of the plastic fashion doll. To showcase how much of an impact Barbie has had on the music industry, we're counting down our fave songs that name-drop the world-famous doll. So have a happy 53rd birthday and jam out to these tracks, Barbie dear: you don't look a day over 17!
5. Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (TGIF)
"I smell like a minibar / DJ's passed out in the yard / Barbies on the barbeque / Is this a hickey or a bruise?"
The first Barbie name-drop on our playlist is actually a little morbid, when you think about it! Maybe Katy Perry and her friends were partying it up for Barbie's birthday, things got a little wild, and...they accidentally BBQ-d her? Sorry, Barbie!
4. Dolly Parton - Backwoods Barbie
"Yes, I can see where I could be misjudged upon first glance / But even backwoods Barbies deserve a second chance / I'm just a backwoods Barbie just asking for a chance / Just a backwoods Barbie"
Our love for Dolly Parton knows no bounds. Yes, she may have nipped and tucked herself to make her look just like a Barbie doll, but her down-home roots and humble beginnings prove that she's got a heart filled with plenty of human emotion. You go, (Barbie) Dolly!
3. Lil Wayne - Knockout (ft. Nicki Minaj)
"Hey Barbie / Can I call you Barbara? Haha / Hey Barbie / Can I call you tomorrow / And today?"
Did you know that Barbie's real name is Barbara? Well, the daughter of the woman who invented the plastic doll franchise, that is. Ruth Handler named the doll after her little girl Barbara, "Barbie" for short, and the rest is history.
2. Nicki Minaj - Massive Attack
"It's Barbie, b*****s"
We have to give massive props to the Queen of the Barbies herself: Miss Nicki Minaj! Coining herself the Harijuku Barbie, and donning her legions of fans as Barbies themselves, the girl has a serious obsession with the plastic icon. Look for Barbie name drops in these other songs by Nicki: "Itty Bitty Piggy", "Go Hard", and her EPIC verse in Kanye West's "Monster".
1. Aqua - Barbie Girl
"Come on, Barbie, let's go party / Oh, I'm having so much fun! / Well, Barbie, we're just getting started / Oh, I love you Ken!"
We can all admit that this is the biggest Barbie name-dropping song in history! If you were around in 1997 when this song was released, chances are you know ALL the lyrics. What better way to wish happy birthday to the Girl made of Plastic than by singing about wanting to BE her?
