Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Shares of Electronic Arts rose today on a rumor that Japan's Nexon has made a bid to purchase EA. The odd thing is that Nexon doesn't appear to have enough cash or stock to do that, unless it borrows a huge amount of money. Both EA and Nexon declined to comment on the rumor, which originated in a South Korean newspaper. Nexon is based in Tokyo but has most of its employees in South Korea. EA's stock was up 8 percent earlier today and is currently up 6 percent, or 92 cents, to $15.93 a share. EA's market value is $5.28 billion today, so it doesn't seem like Nexon, whose revenues are about a quarter of EA's, could afford to buy them. Nexon's market cap is about $8 billion. A merger of equals might be possible, but an outright purchase would have to be heavily financed or require Nexon to issue more shares. Analyst Michael Pachter at Wedbush Securities told GamesIndustry.biz that the rumor is "silly."

When City Engineer Robert Winiecke addresses the Great Bend City Council Tuesday night, he will have good news about a long-awaited street improvement project – the intersection of U.S. 281 (Main Street) and Railroad Avenue.
TOPEKA – In July, private sector employment and nonfarm jobs both showed increases since one year ago with significant increases in some industries, the Kansas Department of Labor reported this month. None the less, the state wide jobless rate was 6.7 percent in July, up from 6.2 in June.
Editors of Barton Community College's literary journal, "Prairie Ink," aim to provide a venue for local authors to showcase their creative writing talents and have done so again with the release of their third issue of the annual publication.
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program has named Reta Brack as Volunteer of the Year, and also recognized the Great Bend Military Moms project as RSVP Volunteer Station of 2012, said RSVP Director Donna Baugh.
The City of Great Bend has one key administrative opening and will soon have another. Assistant City Administrator Dawn Jaeger recently resigned and City Clerk/Finance Manager Wayne Henneke has announced plans to retire in December.
ELLINWOOD - The ravaging force of a hurricane is beyond the imagination of those that have never experienced one, and most in this country have never experienced homelessness or hunger. Yet one small country in the Caribbean seems to continuously struggle with nature.
Efforts to start a non-profit group for autism awareness in the Barton County area will include an Autism Walk next month at Great Bend's Brit Spaugh Zoo.
Just as the coming of fall brings changing leaf colors, it also ushers in the city's annual street resurfacing effort.
Jeremiah McCutchen is a man of few words and his physical and developmental disabilities drastically limit opportunities for him in life. But those limitations never stopped the 39-year-old McCutchen from outwardly expressing his enthusiasm for life and sharing his friendly personality with everyone he meets.
Each week we'll take a step back into the history of Great Bend through the eyes of reporters past. We'll reacquaint you with what went into creating the Great Bend of today, and do our best to update you on what "the rest of the story" turned out to be.
After three months, it's off, at least for now.
With Labor Day on the horizon, gasoline prices have continued their march upward in Kansas and nationwide for the past two weeks, plagued by potential hurricane-induced supply disruptions and a drought-induced rise in ethanol prices, gas price analysts reported Sunday.
Friday's tournament at StoneRidge was about more than golf.
People in Barton County have little more than a week to make their opinions known about what they think a healthy community looks like, and what they think it will take to make their communities better.
Be Well Barton County is a subgroup of the Central Kansas Partnership. The group began meeting in January after the Golden Belt Community Foundation received a grant to study and gather community input from around the county about what people think will promote healthier lifestyles where they live.

Family Crisis Center Director Laura Patzner's story touched a nerve with Great Bend City Council members Monday night, moving them to step in make sure a key source of the agency's funding remains intact.
OLMITZ - The majestic presence of the perfectly-crafted stained glass windows at St. Ann's Catholic Church are best appreciated up close.
Barton Community College trustees heard good news this past week from the dean of Workforce Training & Community Education, Elaine Simmons.
BUSHTON – Farmers like to say Mother Nature has to kill a wheat crop a few times before harvest. And Bushton farmer Kyle Kaiser would agree. At the beginning of April, Kyle was ready to call his crop insurance agent to evaluate his short, dry wheat with some visible winterkill. But, after receiving nine to ten inches of rain in May, the wheat was waist high by mid-June.

Cub Scout Camping Guidelines
The Boy Scouts of America has established the following guidelines for its members' participation in camping activities:
Den Camping
Overnight camping by first-, second-, and third-grade Cub Scout dens is not approved, and certificates of liability insurance will not be provided by the Boy Scouts of America.
A Webelos Scout may participate in overnight den camping when supervised by his mother or father. It is essential that each Webelos Scout be under the supervision of an adult. Joint Webelos den-troop campouts are encouraged for dens of fifth-grade Webelos Scouts with their parents to strengthen ties between the pack and troop. Den leaders, pack leaders, and parents are expected to accompany the boys on approved trips.
Council-Organized Family Camp (Cub Parent Weekends)
Council-organized family camps are overnight events involving more than one pack. Blue Ridge Council family camping takes place in the fall during the Cub Parent Weekends at Camp Old Indian. The Blue Ridge Council provides all of the elements of the outdoor experience, such as staff, food service, housing, and program. In most cases, youth members will be under the supervision of a parent or guardian. In all cases, each youth participant is responsible to a specific adult. All overnight activities involving more than one pack must be approved by the council. Council-organized family camps must be conducted in accordance with established standards as given in National Standards for Council Family Camping, No. 13-408. Tigers, Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts may participate.
Pack Overnighters
These are pack-organized overnight events involving more than one family from a single pack, focused on age-appropriate Cub Scout activities and conducted at
council-approved locations
or on
council property
. Contact the Blue Ridge Council service center for a list of approved locations. If nonmembers (siblings) participate, the event must be structured accordingly to accommodate them. BSA health and safety and youth protection guidelines apply. In most cases, each youth participant is responsible to a specific adult.
Adults giving leadership to a pack overnighter must complete Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation
) (No. 34162A) to properly understand the importance of program intent, youth protection guidelines, health and safety, site selection, age-appropriate activities, and sufficient adult participation. If a Pack is camping outside of Blue Ridge Council boundaries or more than 500 miles away they must file a
Tour Plan

Table Rock State Park
Please contact the Scout Service Center at 864-233-8363 for more information about the above locations.
Webelos Dens are encouraged to visit Boy Scout district camporees and Klondike derbies. The purpose of these visits should be for the boys to look ahead with anticipation to their future as Boy Scouts and observe troops they might join. Webelos Scout dens should not compete against or participate in activities designed for Boy Scouts. Webelos Scout dens should not spend the night as participants at the event if the program is Boy Scout-based.
Camping Resources
The current editions of the following manuals provide information about Cub Scout camping:
A Guide to Safe Scouting, Cub Scout Leader Book, and The Webelos Leader Guide
Please Note
: If a well-meaning leader brings along a child who does not meet these age guidelines, disservice is done to the unit because of distractions often caused by younger children. A disservice is also done to the child, who is not trained to participate in such an activity and who, as a nonmember of the group, may be ignored by the older campers.

Germany to Iran and back

Well, after Esfahan Shiraz was a bit of a let down. Im sure the heat and the terrible Zand Hotel didnt help. Besides some large species of cockroach I also meet a few other bikers there. First an older couple, dare I say going on sixty, on R100 and R80 Beamers with a very impressive repertoire of anecdotes of previous motorbike trips. They are on their way through the Stans to Mongolia. They are very modest about their accomplishments. I hope Ill be as energetic when I reach that age. The attention I get here is a bit much at times but probably nothing compared to what happens to that lady when she takes her helmet off!
Next is a UK/German duo fresh from the Iran/Pakistan border, hating everything they have seen so far in Iran. Severe case of having been on the road for too long. I make my excuses when they want to join me for a trip to Persepolis. In all fairness I have to say that 50+ degree heat does funny things to your brain and Im sure theyll fully recover.
They are lucky they made it through at all. After a bomb blast on 5/29 in Zahedan, near the Pakistan border, that killed 25 people, followed by riots and an arson attack on a bank that killed another five people, the Iranians have closed the border to Pakistan. Three people claimed to be involved in the terror attack have been hanged publicly already. Justice can be swift. I just hope they got the right guys. A French overlander got abducted on the Pakistan side in the last few days as well. My decision to give Pakistan a miss for the time being seems to be the right one. Hopefully the border will reopen soon. There ought to be a few bikers stuck on either side as this is smack in the middle of the narrow time window for making the trip from India to Europe or vice versa.
I do a bit of early morning and late afternoon sightseeing. Shiraz center is dominated by the large Zand period Karim Khan citadel with a nice garden inside.
One of the corner towers has a distinct lean and the citadels Haman next to it is being blamed for that.
I wander through town a bit, going from one ice cream or smoothie place to the next, locking at what is on offer in the bazaar
and nearby stores. Something black for the ladies?
or maybe a space cowgirl outfit for the little one?
Iran bread. It goes stale the second it comes out of the oven. Nothing like the tasty Turkish flat bread.
Just in case you need to know your weight and height, there is a machine for that.
A corner is dedicated to motorcycle shops.
This is as good as it gets: a 200cc Enduro for the uebercool hipsters
I watch a funeral procession
and have a look at the Iranian Disneyland
before I watch a snake charmer. His combover was more impressive than his snake charming.
This must have been a mirage. An open air pool in Iran? No way! I was so tempted to fall in.
I visit the tomb of Persian poet Hafez. I have to admit I know nothing of his work but most of it would be lost in translation anyway. The way it goes with poetry.
When I get there I do realize that they really do like him still, a lot. Old and young practically throw themselfes on his grave, shedding tears.
This is also the only place I have seen where Iranians dont dare to litter. I just sit there and study the spectacle when a couple asks me to take their picture. After that another couple asks me and soon is becomes the popular thing to have your picture taken by the foreigner.
On the way back to my hotel I visit the shrine of Emir Ali, housed in a domed 19th century building, which has every surface inside covered by mirror ornaments.
After many failed attempts I do get into the Vakil Mosque
and the nearby Haman, turned carpet museum.
I decide to extend my visa here, which means I have to stay at least until Sunday. Im cutting it a bit close at the rate Im going and my last day would be the election day, which is probably not a good day for a border crossing. So, off I go on a Saturday morning in search of the visa office. Once I get there they send me straight back to the Bank Melli near my Hotel to pay the 20,000 Rial fee. Someone at the bank helps me fill out the deposit slip and I hand the cash and the paper work to a cashier. All is going well until a feisty women barges in and throws a huge wad of cash on top of my little money pile and starts arguing with the cashier. Iranians have no notions of queuing or privacy. They always go straight to the front and interrupt anything that might be going on. The clerks try to deal with everyone at once and the result usually is that everyone has to wait forever and mistakes are being made. Being shy in these situation just means you will be pushed aside and wait forever. I remind the cashier frequently of my existence and eventually have to get a little pushy Iranian style to get my deposit slip stamped. I dash back to the visa office. A very friendly young officer helps me fill out the forms and leaves me in the office of the senior officials who actually do the extensions. The jeffe is in a foul mood. Yelling at subordinates and generally being an ass to everyone except me. He does give me a full 30 days though, starting at the expiration date of my original visa. So, not bad and all done in a couple of hours.

John Toshack heaped praise on his young Wales players after their impressive 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ qualifying victory over Azerbaijan. The away win, Wales' first in the group, was achieved without ten senior players and with a side almost entirely of under-21 players. The team produced a performance to warm the heart of manager Toshack on what turned out to be a bitterly cold night.
"There was so much to be satisfied with," said Toshack. "Considering the problems we have had building up to this game, it was a very pleasing performance and result.
"We were missing so many players and some of the lads who played have been out of training virtually for five weeks," he said.
David Edwards got the first-half winner and there were young heroes all over the pitch. Captain Joe Ledley led by example, Edwards was outstanding alongside his skipper and at the back Ashley Williams, Craig Morgan and Lewin Nyatanga withstood everything thrown at them.
Toshack said: "I don't want to pick out any player, they were all excellent. But Simon Church on his full debut gave us everything he had. He ran and worked all night and can be very happy with his display.
There was so much to be satisfied with. Considering the problems we have had building up to this game, it was a very pleasing performance and result.
"Overall the team did very well. There were a lot of tired legs out there at the end, some of them could barely run after the effort they had put in," he said.
"But there are a lot of better sides than us who have had a lot of trouble in Baku. Azerbaijan have improved considerably over the last five years and nobody hammers them these days.
"We had a small handful of fans here who had paid a lot of money to follow us, and they deserved a result like this," said Toshack.
"I was more than happy to celebrate with them at the end, the team has done them proud."

Seasoned filmmaker Godwin Mawuru has died. He was 51. Mawuru died at Parirenyatwa Hospital on Friday after succumbing to sepsis syndrome, clinical evidence of acute infection. According to his son Joe, Mawuru had been unwell for the past weeks.
"He was really in pain and when he was admitted at Parirenyatwa Hospital he died at 9.30am. He died of sepsis complications although he had been suffering from meningitis," he said.
Mawuru was one of the most celebrated producers of the blockbuster film "Neria", a television talk show, "This is Life", and the popular "Studio 263" which reached 2000 episodes during its run and was the first Zimbabwean soap to be screened on DStv's Africa Magic.
Ex-Studio 263 cast including Pretty Xaba, Charles "Wakanaka" Kapfupi and Charity Ndlovu visited Mawuru's home. National Arts Council of Zimbabwe director Elvas Mari said Zimbabwe lost a brilliant film maker.
"Death is painful when we lose the best. Mawuru was a beacon of the film industry and his works speak volumes of his knowledge in that area," he said.
Mourners are gathered at 28 Clovelly Road, Chadcombe. Mawuru will be buried at his rural home in Chiguhune, Gutu, today. Mawuru is survived by his wife Tsitsi and two children, Joe and Rumbidzai.

Who should be categorized as 'identified staff' and therefore subject to more onerous remuneration requirements? What are the tax implications of deferred payments? Who should be on the Remuneration Committee? How will changes to remuneration policies impact competitive positioning in the market?
What makes this all the more difficult for managers is that each EU member state is responsible for setting their own date for compliance and creating their own proportionality regime (which essentially allows particular firms or individuals to be excluded from some or all of the rules).
Ultimately, the existence of different deadlines, requirements and regimes has created additional complexity, particularly for 'cross-jurisdictional' managers. The more savvy players are now giving serious thought towards how best to structure their deferral and instruments payment arrangements to ensure they are compliant yet still tax-efficient.
One of the biggest challenges inherent in AIFMD is that a portion of the variable remuneration will need to be deferred. For example, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) have included in their Rulebook that at least 40 percent of variable remuneration must be deferred for somewhere between 3 to 5 years; if variable remuneration is above a half million pounds, the proportion needing to be deferred must be at least 60 percent.
Across the European Union, however, most jurisdictions have set their remuneration threshold much lower (often at just 100,000 Euros) meaning that a significant number of individuals will likely fall into the '60 percent' category for variable remuneration deferrals.
This gets particularly tricky in cases where payments are required to be made in instruments (such as shares) of the fund itself. Funds that are closed-ended, for example, will need to do significant work ahead of the deadline to structure vehicles that satisfy the AIFMD requirements (by, for example, linking cash payments to the performance of the portfolio or the AIFM itself).
For most firms, tax and other commercial implications will almost certainly come into play, as will the need to pay close attention to how claw-backs and malice are enacted (if required) once deferred awards have been made or even paid.
So why have fund managers been reluctant to make a start on their AIFMD-compliant remuneration policies? In part, it's because many managers falsely believe that – since their remuneration policy won't come into effect until 2015 at the earliest – this issue can be put on the back burner for later in the year. But many jurisdictions (including the UK) now require an AIFMD-compliant draft remuneration policy be submitted at the same time as the authorization application. That leaves precious little time for managers to properly look at the implications of tax efficient remuneration structures and deferrals.
Others seem to be more focused on building a convincing case for disapplying some of the more onerous requirements under the proportionality models in their relevant jurisdictions. But in many cases this will prove risky, especially if their case is later rejected by the regulator leaving little time to effectively ensure proposals are commercially viable. It is worth remembering after all, that a proportionality model is designed to only exclude some firms and individuals, not all, as has been confirmed by the FCA's expectation expressed in January 2014 that 'managers of the majority of alternative investment fund (AIF) assets in the UK will be subject to the full regime'.
Ultimately, what our experience suggests is that managers – both inside and outside of the EU – need to start giving serious thought to how their business will be affected by the remuneration requirements of AIFMD.
To date, many have been focused on how to build sufficient substance to achieve a compliant AIF portfolio; now they will need to quickly turn their attention to reforming their compensation structures and identifying and informing the staff that will be affected.
And any lack of attention given to the tax, legal and commercial implications of these changes may come back to haunt them in the long-term. Not surprising that remuneration is now bolting up the fund manager's agenda.

Choice 1854 Small Cent Pattern, Judd-157A1854 E1C One Cent, Judd-157A, Pollock-185, High R.7, PR64 NGC. The obverse is derived from a Seated dollar obverse die, but crudely reduced by a circular lathe to the diameter of a contemporary half cent. The 4 in the date resembles a 1 because of the blurry reduction. On the reverse, 1 CENT is encircled by an oak and acorn wreath. Struck with a reeded edge in a German silver alloy, 20% nickel, 71% copper, 9% zinc. Judd-156, Judd-157, Judd-158, and Judd-158a are also from the same dies, but the alloy differs slightly. This confuses the number of survivors for each specific Judd number, since they cannot be distinguished by color or weight. However, all varieties are clearly very rare. According to uspatterns.com, Judd-157A was discovered by Jay Parrino, and first reported in an April 1998 edition of Coin World. This lightly toned steel-blue and chestnut piece has subtle satin luster and a tiny spot on the obverse rim near 6 o'clock. Census: 2 in 64, 0 finer (3/06). (PCGS# 11650)

This invention relates to identifying return addresses in an interrupted program's call stack, and more particularly, identifying the return addresses using information obtained while following the control flow through the binary code of procedures in the call chain.
For performance monitoring, profiling, and many other reasons, it is useful to walk the call stack of a program, process, or thread (hereafter "program").
An executing program will have many functions, procedures, or methods (hereafter, "procedures") that are called in order to carry out the program's purposes. As the program executes, procedures call other procedures, and at any given time of execution, a call stack contains state information about a call chain. Since the same procedure may be called from multiple other procedures, it is valuable in performance monitoring to determine which procedure called a procedure.
For example, the program (i.e., "Main( )") shown in Table 1, contains four procedures—NewRecord( ), EditName( ), EditAddress( ), and UpdateRecord( ). In this program EditName( ) can be called from two different places in Main( ), namely NewRecord( ) and UpdateRecord( ). While monitoring Main( ), it can be useful to know whether EditName( ) is called more often from NewRecord( ) or UpdateRecord( ).
During monitoring Main( ) it may be determined that EditName( ) is taking too much time. This information is useful in determining which procedures need to be further optimized. In order to determine which procedures are calling EditName( ), the call stack can be walked upon entering EditName( ).
Table 2 is an example of a call chain from Main( ) to EditName( ). The call chain shows that Main( ) called UpdateRecord( ), and UpdateRecord( ) called EditName( ). It is not unusual for a call chain to have tens or hundreds of procedures.
In limited cases, a profiler can be used to assemble information about call chains. For example, if the source code is available, a compiler can be used to insert code that reports call chain information. In another case, if debug information is provided about a procedure, a binary injection tool can be used to instrument a procedure. If debug information is available, code can be injected into the binary image of the procedure, and the injected code will report when the procedure is entered and or exited. For example, if all the procedures in Main( ) are instrumented, an example executing call chain could appear as shown in Table 3.
A program may contain hundreds or thousands of procedures, some of which may be obtained from third party sources. If the instrumentation is done with a compiler, the source code may not be available from these third party sources. If the instrumentation is done with a code injector, debug information (i.e., "PDB") is needed about the procedures. Again, this information may not be available if procedure are obtained from third parties. For many reasons, the source code and or this PDB information may not be available, or may be impractical to obtain. Thus, a call chain can not be reliably obtained in many circumstances.
Another technique for obtaining a call chain, involves sampling a program's state and then walking the call stack to obtain call chain information. However, this traditional method requires the stack to have a chain of base pointers, or requires using the PDB information to identify the return addresses within the call stack frames.
A stack is a region of memory where programs store status data such as procedure addresses, passed parameters, and local variables.
However, in some cases, the stack frames created by a procedure are further optimized, so that they do not contain the frame pointers. In such a case, the stack can be walked using the PDB (debug) information to determine the stack frame contents. For example,
In practice, many of the procedures used by a program developer are obtained from third party sources. These third party sources are often unwilling to provide source code or PDB information. In other cases, these third party sources use proprietary systems to create PDB information, and are unwilling to disclose anything that may jeopardize a competitive advantage which may become apparent from viewing this PDB information. In other cases, a program may contain stack frames created by procedures obtained from multiple sources. These multiple sources may be unwilling to agree on whether to include frame pointers in stack frames. Thus, a program may contain some procedures with PDB information, other procedures with frame pointers, and likely, some procedures with neither. Finally, even if all the PDB information is available, many scenarios occur when prior art stack walkers fail. Thus, the prior art stack walkers are unable to reliably walk the stack.
What is needed is a way to walk the stack without relying on PDB information. More specifically, what is needed is a way to walk the stack using the image that is currently executing (i.e., the binary code of the presently executing procedure), the stack, and the instruction pointer (i.e., the pointer to the instruction executing when the program was frozen or interrupted).
A forward code walking technique described herein produces call chain information from the call stack. In one respect, the technique uses an instruction pointer, a stack pointer, a binary image, and a call stack, to obtain a call chain for an interrupted program.
In a further respect, a technique walks forward through the binary code of a procedure (i.e. a binary image for the procedure) to identify a return instruction. While walking forward through the binary image, the technique identifies a set of instructions that alter the distance from the top of the stack to a return address on the stack. After calculating distance variables based on the set of instructions, the technique uses the distance variables to update the stack pointer and the instruction pointer. The updated instruction pointer points to the procedure that called this procedure. The technique then walks forward through the binary image of the procedure that called this procedure. This continues until the stack is empty. A list of instruction pointers are returned as a call chain.
In yet another respect, a system for profiling call chains for an interrupted executing program is discussed. Upon each interrupt, the state information for the executing process is saved. A method walks forward through the executable instructions representing each procedure in the call chain to a return instruction in each procedure. The executable instructions encountered in the forward walk are analyzed and used to locate the return address to each procedure's corresponding calling procedure in the call chain. When the return addresses for all calling procedures in the chain have been located, a list of return addresses are returned.
In another respect, a distance data structure is computed for each stack frame in the call chain, and the distance data structure is used to update the stack pointer and instruction pointer to the context of the calling procedures stack frame. In one implementation, the optimization includes caching a list of instruction pointer addresses with already computed distance structures. This optimization allows reusing a distance structure for an already computed instruction pointer address. This optimization is valuable in profiling when a return address may appear multiple times in a call chain, or multiple call chains may contain the same return address. A further optimization, includes storing ranges of addresses that have the same distance structures.
Additional features and advantages will be made apparent from the following detailed description of the illustrated embodiment which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The following is a detailed description of an implementation of a method and system for walking a call stack.
When a program is interrupted or sampled, the central processing unit (CPU) stores state information about the interrupted program in memory. For example, in
A program profiler, debugger, or other executive process will freeze an executing program and save the state information as input to the illustrated stack walker. Or in the case of a thread, the thread will not be rescheduled, but instead the state information will be passed to a stack walker. In either case, the frozen process or unscheduled process is discussed as an interrupt.
Upon an interrupt, a stack pointer 204 and an instruction pointer 206 is saved from the CPU 200 registers 202. As shown in
Give these three inputs (i.e., a stack pointer, an instruction pointer, and a possibly useful frame pointer), an illustrated stack walker, returns a call chain of return addresses reflective of the stack state at the time of the interrupt. Specifically, these three inputs are used to identify the previous stack frame (i.e., the stack frame associated with the calling procedure), which in turn is used to identify its previous stack frame, until the return addresses for each calling procedure are obtained from the call stack for the interrupted program.
From where the instruction pointer points 402, to a return address in the binary image 404, the illustrated embodiment walks forward through the binary image and calculates how the procedure would affect the activated frame 304, had the program executing the procedure not been interrupted. The process walks forward through the binary image by disassembling instructions downward 406, one instruction after another, while following the control flow. Walking forward means to treat each instruction sequentially in the direction of process execution 406, as opposed to walking backward through previously executed instructions. The disassembly involves determining from the binary image, an instruction that the binary image represents, and seeing how that instruction will treat the stack. Following control flow means taking branches that may have been taken had the binary image actually been executing. So disassembling downward includes following branches in control flow. Although branches are followed in control flow, procedure calls are not followed, since the procedure call would activate another stack frame. In another embodiment, procedure calls could be followed, which would provide information about stack frames that the interrupted program would have activated in the future.
The control flow is followed until a return instruction is found in the binary image. While following the control flow, instructions are encountered. In one embodiment, these instructions are analyzed in order to determine how, or whether, they are using the frame pointer. For example, if a frame pointer is used with an offset to access a variable in the activated frame, then we know the frame pointer is active in this procedure. If the list of instructions use the frame pointer, then eventually the instructions will set the stack pointer equal to the frame pointer. Otherwise, the list of instructions may add a constant onto the stack pointer in order to determine where to go next.
If the interrupt had not occurred, control flow would have arrived at the return instruction 404, which would have popped the activated frame 304 off the stack, and returned to the calling frame 306. By walking forward through the control flow, the stack walker calculates where the interrupted program or thread would have ended up had it continued without interruption. The forward walking stack walker, examines each successive stack frame 304, in order to determine its calling stack frame 306. Further, once the previous stack frame is identified 306, the same technique is utilized to determine its calling stack frame 308.
Once the return 404 is encountered in the binary image 400, some of the instructions in the control flow 406, are used to help find a return address in the stack. The purpose is to find the return address to the calling procedure's binary image. This return address becomes the new instruction pointer, and the calling procedures binary image is walked to find a return instruction, and so on (e.g., see
When walking forward 406 through each successive binary image 400 pointed to by the first instruction pointer and subsequently by each successive return address 310, 312, each successive instruction in the control flow is examined to identify instructions that affect the pointers on the stack. For example, an instruction that just changes a local variable 316 on the stack may not affect the stack state, and thus can be ignored. Thus for a given processor, a series of instructions are identified that affect the call stack, and those effects are tracked in order to walk up the stack and identify each successive return address. This list of return address are returned as the call chain output from the stack walker. This forward stack walking method is best understood in the context of a specific implementation, but once this implementation is discussed, adapting the forward stack walking method to any processor's instruction set, will be apparent to those skilled in the arts.
The method 500 next determines whether or not the call stack is empty 504. It is possible that immediately upon the interrupt, the stack pointer points to an address value that is considered an empty stack 508. In that case, the output array contains only the instruction pointer received as input to the stack walker, and the stack walker returns 506 the output array. From this output array, it is apparent that only one procedure was in the call chain. In another embodiment, an operating system may provide an API that is used to determine whether or not the interrupted program has a call chain. One such API retrieves the start address of the interrupted program. If the instruction pointer, at time of interrupt, can be reached from the start address through control flow, without calling another procedure in the program, then the method completes 508, and the returned output array 506 contains the call chain. This embodiment assumes that, if you can reach the input instruction pointer address through any control flow, without calling another procedure in the program, then there is no call stack. This "reach-ability" control flow search from the programs start address to the input instruction pointer, is similar to the "breadth-first-search" discussed below to find a return instruction. If the stack is not empty, and or, the input instruction pointer is not reachable from the program start address, then there are stack frames containing return addresses that need to be identified.
More typically, the stack will not be empty 510. In such a case, there may be several (or hundreds) of stack frames that need to be walked in order to obtain the return addresses of the call chain. So long as return addresses remain on the stack 510, the stack walking continues. Once the stack is empty 508, or no return addresses remain on the stack 508, the output array contains the call chain 506.
If the stack is not empty 510, then the instruction pointer is compared to a list of instruction pointers, in order to determine whether or not a distance structure has been computed for this instruction pointer 514. Distance structures will be further discussed in relation to
If the distance structure has not yet been computed 524 for this instruction pointer, then a "breadth-first-search" (BFS) is used to find a return instruction 516. As discussed in
After the return instruction and the path of instructions to the return instruction is identified 516, the path of instructions is used to calculate distance variables 520. An example data structure for referencing distance variables (e.g., a distance structure) is discussed in association with
After a distance structure has been calculated for this stack frame, the calculated distance structure is used to update the instruction pointer, stack pointer and frame pointer 522. The new instruction pointer is added to the output array 503, before returning to check whether or not the stack is empty yet 504.
Thus, the method 500 is used to determine a return address to each calling procedure. That return address is the input instruction pointer used to begin a BFS search of the calling procedure. This continues 526 until the stack is empty 508. Upon completion, an output array 506 contains return addresses.
As shown in
Once the distance structure has been calculated according to
As shown in
Before describing how the instructions 1000 are used to update the stack pointer, instruction pointer and frame pointer, two additional data structures are described.
Had Unknowns been encountered when the distance structure was computed 520, a "ReturnAddressFind( )" heuristic is now used 1014 to find a return address that is closest to the current stack pointer. A return address can be detected by 1) being within a binary image and 2) being immediately following the bytes that make up a call instruction. Once the heuristic is used, the distance structure's fields IPDist and FPDist fields are altered accordingly and the NewDS values are altered to reflect these changes. So as not to obscure the discussion here, an example Indirect Call which requires a heuristic to recover, is discussed later in association with
Finally, the instruction pointer (return address) is added to the output array 503, before returning to see whether the stack is empty yet 504.
Next, the stack walker 500 is called 1506. Copies of the stack pointer, instruction pointer, and frame pointer, along with a copy of the interrupted stack is passed to the stack walker. As previously discussed, the stack walker walks the stack 1508 of the interrupted thread or program. The stack walker returns an array of instruction pointers which identify the call chain.
This call chain information is stored 1510 for further evaluation by the profiler. The output array of instruction pointers can be converted to a textual representation of the names of the called procedures if that is valuable. Such conversion procedures are known in the arts.
Next, the state information saved for the interrupted program is restored 1512, and program control is returned to the interrupted application 1514. One of the purposes of a profiler is to repeatedly interrupted a program under profile and collect data about the application. In this case, the profiler may perform another interrupt 1502.
Since a profiler that can attribute events to call stacks instead of just functions, a stack walker can greatly enhance the profiler's usefulness. Specifically, this stack walker is not limited by frame pointer optimizations and does not require debug information about stack frames. However, stack walking is not only helpful for a profiler, but is a core technology that can and is be used in many products. A stack walker can be used for example in resource leak detection. By walking the stack on resource allocation and keeping track of de-allocation one can find the function responsible for causing a resource leak (memory leak) within an application. It can also be used in failure injection. Since error-handling tends to be hierarchical it is usually only required to cause a function to fail only once for each unique call-stack in order to verify correct error handling code. Further, in crash dump analysis, some crashes require the call stack to understand the cause of the crash. While the crash might occur in function X the actual cause of the crash may be a function several levels above on the call stack. Stack Walking can also be used in debugging for the same reasons as in crash dump analysis.

The system bus may be any of several types of bus structure including a memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of conventional bus architectures such as PCI, VESA, AGP, Microchannel, ISA and EISA, to name a few. The system memory includes read only memory (ROM) 824 and random access memory (RAM) 825. A basic input/output system (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within the computer 820, such as during start-up, is stored in ROM 824.
The computer 820 further includes a hard disk drive 827, a magnetic disk drive 828, e.g., to read from or write to a removable disk 829, and an optical disk drive 830, e.g., for reading a CD-ROM disk 831 or to read from or write to other optical media. The hard disk drive 827, magnetic disk drive 828, and optical disk drive 830 are connected to the system bus 823 by a hard disk drive interface 832, a magnetic disk drive interface 833, and an optical drive interface 834, respectively. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of data, data structures, computer-executable instructions, etc. for the computer 820. Although the description of computer-readable media above refers to a hard disk, a removable magnetic disk and a CD, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of media which are readable by a computer, such as magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, and the like, may also be used in the exemplary operating environment.
A number of program modules may be stored in the drives and RAM 825, including an operating system 835, one or more application programs 836, other program modules 837, and program data 838; in addition to an implementation 856.
A user may enter commands and information into the computer 820 through a keyboard 840 and pointing device, such as a mouse 842. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 821 through a serial port interface 846 that is coupled to the system bus, but may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, game port or a universal serial bus (USB). A monitor 847 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 823 via an interface, such as a video adapter 848. In addition to the monitor, computers typically include other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers and printers.
The computer 820 operates in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 849. The remote computer 849 may be a server, a router, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described relative to the computer 820, although only a memory storage device 850 has been illustrated. The logical connections depicted include a local area network (LAN) 851 and a wide area network (WAN) 852. Such networking environments are commonplace in offices, enterprise-wide computer networks, intranets and the Internet.
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 820 is connected to the local network 851 through a network interface or adapter 853. When used in a WAN networking environment, the computer 820 typically includes a modem 854 or other means for establishing communications (e.g., via the LAN 851 and a gateway or proxy server 855) over the wide area network 852, such as the Internet. The modem 854, which may be internal or external, is connected to the system bus 823 via the serial port interface 846. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 820, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers may be used.

how stupid was i...
to have not checked the float needle on the carb when i cleaned it out.
'76 ds100
mikuni carb
REPLACED would be more like it as well as the needle holder..... That thing is 37 yrs old:eek1.Make sure you are shutting off your petcock each ride after you ride, until you get it changed....or find an engine full of gasoline!
whats the needle holder? and why shut off the petcock?
damn. i meant the float jet. not needle. the needle is fine.
If you don't shut off the petcock each night, and you have a leaky float needle/seat, then the fuel tank liquid will try to seek the lowest level it can. That would be your crankcase .....full of gas:eek1. Not good. The closed petcock keeps fuel from leaving the tank. On bikes of this vintage You want to shut off the petcock every night anyway. A good friend of mine lost 5 vintage Bultacos, his garage and all his tools and nearly his house from a gas puddle explosion triggered by his garage furnace and gas fumes from this mistake:eek1.

The All Blacks: 100 years of attitude
The All Blacks kick off their British tour on Saturday, a century after the 'Originals' forged a rugby legend
Thursday 03 November 2005
The more things change, the more things stay the same. Barely a week passes without some official or other treating the paying public to a whistle sonata of his own composition, generally performed in a single 80-minute movement marked "pedantic at all times". But some of the things that changed in 1905 and the early months of 1906, when Gallaher's team won 34 of their 35 matches with the fairly startling points difference of 976-59, changed for ever. That tour transformed the way the old world thought about its team sport, and the way the visitors thought about themselves. Graham Henry, the current coach of the All Blacks, puts it better than anyone when he says: "They left home as colonials and returned as New Zealanders."
It seems fatuous to suggest that a country's coming of age was inspired by the deeds of 27 young men - farmers and boatbuilders, miners and foundrymen, blacksmiths and bootmakers and the odd Boer War veteran - on the rectangular mudheaps of the British Isles; that Aucklanders and Wellingtonians honour the 1905 tour in the way the French honour Bastille Day, not so much as an expression of their nationhood as the very definition of it. But to those far-flung folk blessed even with the slightest feeling for the games that people play - or to their minds, the only game worthy of the playing - the "Originals" stand at the heart of what it means to be a New Zealander.
"Just look at the old pictures," urged Wayne Smith, one of Henry's principal sidekicks, as the 2005 All Blacks checked into their Cardiff hotel last Friday night for the start of the centenary tour. "The 1905ers could be us now, couldn't they? It's in the way they stand, the way they hold themselves, the competitive glint in their eyes. Does the history still resonate with the young players? Too bloody right, it does. As coaches, we make it our business to ensure it resonates. This is a special tour, a trip shot through with significance for all of us lucky enough to be involved, and we'll be honouring the 'Originals' during our time here - sometimes publicly, sometimes in a quiet way within the group. It's a very moving thing."
As romance would have it, these All Blacks begin their quest for a Grand Slam this weekend in the one city that repulsed them 100 years ago. Not that they have ever accepted that defeat, by the utterly decisive margin of 3-0, as a fair and honest reflection of proceedings. They believe they were robbed, as most great sides do when they cannot fathom how anyone might have the brass neck to beat them. They insist to this day that Bob Deans, a farmer from Canterbury playing in the centre, scored a legitimate equalising try during the second half, only to be fiddled out of it by some cheating Welsh forwards who dragged him back into the field of play before the referee, dressed in everyday clothes, huffed and puffed his way to the scene of the crime. "We are," said Smith, awash with sarcasm, "about to release an amateur video that shows the incident from a fresh angle."
This, of course, was a none-too-oblique reference to the continuing altercation over the injury suffered by Brian O'Driscoll, the captain of the British and Irish Lions, in the opening minute of last summer's first Test against the All Blacks in Christchurch. O'Driscoll suffered a dislocation of the shoulder after being dropped, tipped, dumped, speared, rammed or pile-driven onto, or into, the ground from a considerable height (delete as necessary, depending on your personal views and prejudices) by Tana Umaga, his opposite number, and Keven Mealamu. While the Lions' management placed the two New Zealanders in the same category as The Acid Bath Murderer, their silver-ferned counterparts turned the blindest of blind eyes. When they did respond, it was to praise Umaga to the high heavens and move him one step closer to sporting canonisation.
Why were we surprised? The All Blacks have brought many things to rugby since Gallaher, who would lose his life at Passchendaele in World War I, and Stead, who survived into his 80s, generously shared their accumulated wisdom by writing The Complete Rugby Footballer: they were the first team to turn a mere Test series into a mighty national calling, bringing the emotional force of an entire population to bear on the Springboks in 1956; they were responsible for an unprecedented flowering of forward play in the 1960s; they professionalised the art of physical conditioning at the 1987 World Cup, almost a decade before the sport went open; they set new standards of athleticism and dynamism in their back play at the 1995 tournament and have continued to do so ever since.
They have also brought a sense of dark menace to the game - a menace endorsed and encouraged by generations of coaches and managers who would rather eat their own children than discipline their own players.
We remember J P R Williams' face being sliced open by the fast-descending boot of John Ashworth; we recall Phil de Glanville being cut to ribbons by the All Black pack during a brutal game in Redruth and Kyran Bracken's ankle being smashed to smithereens by Jamie Joseph; we flinched when Graham Rowntree found his protective headgear entangled in the studs of Ian Jones's right boot, when Ali Williams trampled on Josh Lewsey's visage during England's famous victory in Wellington a little over two years ago. Many misdemeanours, very few guilty pleas, even fewer sentences. The All Blacks did turn on their own kind once, sending the Otago prop Keith Murdoch home in disgrace following his excesses on the 1972 tour of the British Isles. But those excesses occurred off the field, not on it. And how is Murdoch regarded in the South Island, 30-odd years down the road? As a folk hero. What else?
New Zealand have never held a monopoly on this sort of thing. Traditionally speaking, the Springboks are more overtly bullying in their approach, the French more gratuitously vicious, the British and Irish perfectly willing to join in whatever fun and games might be occurring. Even the Australians have had their moments, although they claim to turn the other cheek these days. But All Black villainy has a dimension of its own, its ruthlessness more disconcerting, its practitioners - Kevin Skinner and Colin Meads, Mark "Cowboy" Shaw and Wayne "Buck" Shelford - more celebrated, in a chamber of horrors kind of way.
And this, of course, is the truth that dare not speak its name. The All Blacks exert their grip on the sporting imagination not because they are better than everyone else, although that has clearly been the case for at least 50 of the last 100 years, but because they are never anything less than dangerous, in every sense of the word.
The Boks, the Tricolores, the Wallabies - all have revealed a soft centre at one time or another. The Blacks? Never. They are always, but always, devilishly difficult to beat and well-nigh impossible to beat up. Spectators are drawn to them because they can experience the delicious frisson of watching from a place where it is safe to be scared. The world-class skills of a Richie McCaw or a Daniel Carter are the icing on the cake, not the cake itself.
Half a century ago, when New Zealand and South Africa engaged in a series so violent that live television coverage would have left rugby union struggling to justify its own existence, the All Black forwards who waged the war were fast-tracked into the pantheon of local heroes. Last June, seven days after doing whatever he did to O'Driscoll, the fearsomely dreadlocked Umaga was given a standing ovation by his home-town crowd in Wellington. The more things change...
Three great New Zealand victories... and three calamitous defeats
* NZ 11 SOUTH AFRICA 5 (Auckland, 1956)
The Springboks had been considered the best in the world for almost 30 years. Peter Jones' celebrated try in the last Test secured a 2-1 victory for the All Blacks in the most bitterly fought series in history.
(Pretoria, 1996)
The holy grail. New Zealand had never won a series in Springbok country, but a year after having the World Cup crash-tackled from their hands, they finally climbed the last great summit.
* NZ 29 FRANCE 9 (Auckland, 1987)
The All Blacks, captained by David Kirk (left), were miles ahead of the field in the first World Cup. This three-try performance in the final underlined the supremacy of a wonderful side at its peak.
* FRANCE 43 NZ 31 (Twickenham, 1999)
Not even Jonah Lomu (right) could stop the French wizards. Bookmakers were no longer taking bets on a New Zealand victory when Christophe Lamaison, Olivier Magne and Christian Dominici inspired this World Cup semi-final triumph.
* WALES 3 NZ 0 (Cardiff, 1905)
A match that gave the sport its first enduring legend. The All Blacks had won 27 successive tour games when Wales won by one score, helped by the decision that denied Bob Deans an equalising try.
* NZ 10 ENGLAND 16 (Auckland, 1973)
Perhaps the most dismal performance in All Black history. England, led by John Pullin, arrived as cannon fodder and left with a victory that surprised everyone.
Chris Hewett's all-time All Blacks
15 BOB SCOTT (Auckland, 1946-54) In a tight corner, the best footballer of them all.
14 RON JARDEN (Wellington, 1951-56) Fast, elusive, deadly.
13 TANA UMAGA (Wellington, 1997-) Hard core. The team's beating heart.
12 BILLY STEAD (Southland, 1903-08) Rugby's first genius.
11 JONAH LOMU (Counties and Wellington, 1994-2002)
Unique. A force of nature.
10 MARK NICHOLLS (Wellington, 1921-30) The brains behind the 1924 "Invincibles".
9 DAVE LOVERIDGE (Taranaki, 1978-85) Low cunning, high achievement.
1 KEN GRAY (Wellington, 1963-69) Cornerstone of 1960s pack.
2 SEAN FITZPATRICK (Auckland, 1986-97) The ultimate competitor, utterly ruthless.
3 KEVIN SKINNER (Otago and Counties, 1949-56)
Just don't go there.
4 COLIN MEADS (King Country, 1957-71) The unyielding face of All Black rugby.
5 RICHARD 'TINY' WHITE (Poverty Bay, 1949-56)
Iron commitment, endless energy.
6 MICHAEL JONES (Auckland, 1987-98) Gifted beyond belief.
7 GRAHAM MOURIE (Taranaki, 1977-82) Wonderful captain and a man of honour.
8 DAVE GALLAHER (Auckland, 1903-06) The original "Original".
1978 and all that
New Zealand have made only six Grand Slam tours of the British Isles - playing all four home countries - and only once, in 1978, have they won all four.
* 1905-06 P4 W3 L1 (v Wales, 0-3)
* 1935-36 P4 W2 L2 (v Wales, 12-13; v England, 0-13)
* 1953-54 P4 W3 L1 (v Wales, 8-13)
* 1963-64
P4 W3 D1 (v Scotland, 0-0)
* 1972-73
P4 W3 D1 (v Ireland, 10-10)
