Minister backs Ebola screening plan
10 October 2014
Last updated at 06:22
The US has already implemented checks for passengers arriving at some American airports
Home Office minister Norman Baker has defended the government's decision to screen some people arriving in the UK for the Ebola virus.
Those arriving from areas hit by Ebola face "enhanced screening" at Heathrow, Gatwick and Eurostar terminals.
Ministers initially said there were no plans to screen people arriving from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
Mr Baker said the government changed its mind as a result of new advice from the chief medical officer.
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles said the risk in the UK has not increased and the new measures would "act as an extra precaution".
Downing Street said passengers would be asked questions and potentially given a medical assessment.
The threat of the disease has not increased, Eric Pickles said
Mr Baker said: "I think it's a good reflection on the government that they listened to professional advice from the chief medical officer and are prepared to change their minds."
It comes as Whitehall sources say it is "very unlikely" a British man who died in Macedonia on Thursday could have contracted the disease.
It had been claimed that the man – thought to be 57 – may have had Ebola.
The UK Foreign Office had said it was urgently investigating the reports.
The unnamed man was admitted to hospital at 15:00 local time (14:00 BST) and died two hours later, Macedonian authorities said.
Jovanka Kostovska of the Macedonian Health Ministry has been addressing the media in capital Skopje
A Macedonian government spokesman said the man's travelling companion – also British and 72 according to authorities – said they had travelled directly from the UK to Skopje and had not been to any affected areas.
Dr Brian McCloskey, from Public Health England, said he was aware of the reports but added: "We understand Ebola to be unlikely as the cause of
The outbreak has already killed more than 3,000 people and infected more than 7,200 – mostly in West Africa.
People leaving areas affected by the outbreak have been subject to checks for some weeks, although people do not become infectious until they display symptoms.
Earlier this week a Spanish nurse became the first person to contract the deadly virus outside of West Africa.
The condition of a Spanish nurse with the virus has worsened, according to the hospital treating her
Ministers had ruled out introducing screening at UK airports, pointing out that government policy was in line with advice from the World Health Organization.
A statement on the Department of Health's website also said: "Entry screening in the UK is not recommended by the World Health Organization, and there are no plans to introduce entry screening for Ebola in the UK."
But in a statement on Thursday, Number 10 said advice from the chief medical officer was that checks on arrivals would "offer an additional level of protection to the UK".
There are no direct flights to the UK from the affected areas and people tend to fly via Paris and Brussels, BBC health editor Hugh Pym said.
That means border control staff will have to rely on airline data to try to work out where a passenger's journey began, he added.
The new checks – for those arriving from Liberia, Sierra Leone or Guinea – will involve "assessing passengers' recent travel history, who they have been in contact with and onward travel arrangements", Downing Street said.
Passengers could also be subject to medical checks "by trained medical personnel rather than border force staff" and will be given advice on "what to do should they develop symptoms later".
The move was criticised by Conservative MP Rory Stewart, who told Channel 4 News: "It doesn't make sense to only screen limited places."
By James Gallagher, health editor, BBC News website
The UK's stance on screening has shifted rapidly.
As recently as two days ago Public Health England was saying firmly there were no plans for screening arrivals.
The argument being there was exit-screening in affected countries, the WHO said it was unnecessary and it would mean screening "huge numbers of low-risk people".
But now there will be "enhanced screening" for arrivals from affected countries.
So what has changed?
The chief medical officer argues concern over rising numbers of cases justifies the move, although it is not clear what assessment of the threat to the UK has changed since Tuesday.
However, some scientists have argued the move is more political than scientific.
BBC transport correspondent Richard Westcott said the announcement was more about looking like something was being done than stopping the spread of the disease.
Medical experts say the chances of someone boarding a flight with no symptoms and being contagious by the time they land was "highly, highly unlikely", our correspondent added.
'Ineffectual tool'
In the US temperature checks and questionnaires were introduced earlier this week for passengers arriving at some airports from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea.
But speaking on BBC Radio 4's World at One, chairman of the government's Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens Prof George Griffin said temperature tests were "a very ineffectual tool".
"We know the clinical course of the disease now very well, a maximum incubation period of 21 days, and fever is only part of the clinical syndrome at the end of that period," he said.

Towson from the FCS upsets Connecticut 33-18
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. Towson wants to make sure it doesn't get overlooked this year.
The Tigers, who were left out of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs despite winning their final four games last season, posted perhaps the biggest win in program history on Thursday.
Running back Terrance West ran for 156 yards and two touchdowns and the Tigers upset Connecticut 33-18 in the season opener for both teams.
"I'm sure in the eyes of some, this will be considered very, very big," said Towson coach Rob Ambrose. "But we've played good competition before. We've played well but couldn't get a win. In the history of this, I suppose one day people will one day look back at this as very large thing. But the family in this locker room, we have goals. And for us to reach our goals we had to win."
It was Towson's first win over a FBS team and they dominated the Huskies, putting up 393 yards while holding UConn to just 287.
Quarterback Peter Athens threw for 192 yards and another score and running back Sterlin Phifer caught a 23-yard touchdown and ran for another.
West carried the ball a career-high 36 times, and broke the 100-yard mark for the 12th time in his career. The junior's two fourth-quarter scores put the game away.
"From the beginning of the game I saw we could handle them," West said. "We were prepared for this event today."
Receiver Shakim Phillips had two touchdown catches for Connecticut, and Geremy Davis caught five balls for 100 yards in the losing effort.
The Huskies, who are coming off back-to-back 5-7 seasons, had not lost to an FCS team since 2001, when they were making the transition from Division I-AA to Division I.
"I think they know this is one game and we didn't play well as a team in any area," said UConn coach Paul Pasqualoni. "I think there is some leadership in the locker room and from that regard, I think we'll be fine."
The Huskies were held scoreless in the second half of this one until quarterback Chandler Whitmer hit Phillips with a 21-yard touchdown pass with 3:29 left in the game that cut the deficit to 26-18.
But on UConn's next opportunity, freshman Brian Lemelle fumbled a punt. West, who now has 46 career touchdowns, then put the finishing touches on the upset, scoring from 5 yards out with 16 seconds left in the game.
Connecticut took an early lead after a 92-yard drive, when Whitmer found Phillips breaking toward the left corner for a 31-yard catch-and-run.
Towson answered in just four plays. Phifer swung out of the backfield on a delay pattern and Athens found him wide open for a 23-yard touchdown.
Phifer put Towson up for good when he scored again in the second quarter on a 5-yard run. That came two plays after Jon Desir tipped and intercepted a Whitmer pass at the UConn 29-yard line, a ball that ended up between Desir's legs.

yah.. its quite possible you have some inherent bottlenecks
my score is 2nd for stock system with my cpu
which is not too bad I don't think
but like I implied earlier.. perhaps there are redundant drivers still in your rig which are buggering your performance somewhat...

Weekdays at Noon on 92.3 KTAR
KTAR Middays
A preview to the second presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney
The Bill Clinton moment:
President Bill Clinton excelled during town hall debates when he was running for President. He was way more personal than incumbent George H.W. Bush.
Think: I feel your pain.
Here's one example from 1992. Watch how President Bush responds to a question. Then see how Clinton answers the same question. He walks over towards the crowd, makes eye contact with the woman who asked the question and gives a much more personal and compelling answer. He nailed it. There's no doubt Clinton's performance here helped him get elected.
For President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney, channeling President Clinton could prove to be a challenge. Obama is known for giving great speeches, not for his interpersonal communication. Romney is often seen as some sort of rich, stiff, Republican Ken-doll robot. Whoever can shake their image and have a Clinton moment will win this debate.
President Obama:
President Barack Obama's chief advisor, David Axelrod, said he expects the President to be more �aggressive' during tonight's debate.
It will be interesting to see just how aggressive Obama gets because aggressiveness doesn't work well during the town hall format. The President can't mirror Joe Biden's performance from last week. It would turn voters off.
To be effective, Obama will have to call out Romney on his ever changing positions and answer voter questions clearly and concisely. At the same time he has to appear personal and care about the undecided voters concerns.
The big question is can he find that balance?
Mitt Romney:
Gov. Mitt Romney is looking to maintain his momentum in this second debate. Polls continue to show the race tightening in key swing states; some even have him ahead.
But, Romney faces the same challenge Obama does. Can he find a balance between attacking the President on his record and dispelling the image that he's rich and out of touch?
Will Gov. Romney approach the undecided voters, look them in the eye and answer their questions like President Clinton did?
If he wants to maintain the momentum he better.
Social Media:
Social media will play a huge role tonight. The media is obsessed with it. So much so that Facebook, and even more importantly, Twitter, will drive the main media coverage Wednesday morning.
Most major news sites will feature headlines that read, �Best Tweets from the Debate,' or '25 Funniest Tweets about the Debate.'
Look back to the first debate. When Romney said, �I love Big Bird,' Twitter exploded. And that's exactly what people talked about. It's even spawned a Million Muppet March on Washington. Thousands tweeted about Vice President Joe Biden's smirks, laughter and pearly white teeth. That, too, became the talk last week.
The lesson is clear: what's said on Twitter tonight will become the main talking point on Wednesday.
There's a lot at play tonight. And this debate could help decide whether it's four more years of Obama or whether Mitt Romney becomes the nation's 45th President.

I Enjoy life fully..you too I hope
I have learned to celebrate life so I enjoy a person who has a happy nature...willing to try to solve problems ...so having a great attitude is essential to making any relationship work. Also someone who is a giver as am I. An affectionate person is absolutely essential, especially one who loves kissing, which is an art of communication on a physical level. I enjoy being active or totally relaxed at home watching a movie or just enjoying each other's company. Sharing time together is its own reward...doesn't matter if you're washing the car, shopping or having a gourmet meal at Wendy's or dancing in the aisle at Publix.....it's all fun with the right person. By the way I have a great sense of humor. And am a good communicator. As a Life coach and motivational speaker I suspect one needs to be. I love seeing people get new and fresh perspectives. Lastly, The book I'm writing is about the art of thinking and it's a real challenge; the more I write the more I realize how limited my own thinking is so I keep writing and learning. I'm learning tolerance ...that ability to be more understanding and less judgmental.... Now I'm seeing the bigger picture as opposed to the narrow one I used to see. I also write poetry that has received a surprisingly good reception in the writing groups I belong to. It's interesting what we can create by allowing ".....the ethereal tides to roll and circulate through you...." Per R. W. Emerson. Hopefully I will get it published this year. I have an agent so chances are better now that it will be a reality. I should mention...because it is important to me....that I am easy to be with...willing to explore new things and do almost anything with my special lady....from flea markets to kayaking...hopefully you will be flexible also. I just loove to dance so if you do that's a bonus. Life is more fun without a lot of unnecessary drama. doesn't mean we don't deal with real problems....the difference is we don't invent them out of thin air. Ps. The photo was taken in Sept 2012 by my grandson on a hike in Mass in the Blue mountains. And. yes I do smile a lot just not in that particular photo .

Saucerman captains IceRays' win
Defenseman notches 2 goals, 2 assists as CC ends slide at 5
CORPUS CHRISTI - On Friday afternoon, Colton Saucerman had a new letter sewn onto the front of his sweater.
Hours later, the defenseman then helped the IceRays find a letter that had been eluding them of late: The W.
Saucerman's two goals and two assists powered Corpus Christi to a 5-2 victory over the New Mexico Mustangs at the American Bank Center. That allowed the IceRays (14-20-2, 30 points) to snap a five-game losing streak and win for the first time since Dec. 15 at Wichita Falls.
"It feels good," IceRays defenseman Mychal Monteith said. "When things aren't going right, you've just got to get two points — it doesn't matter how. We fought it out and got it tonight. A win's a win, and we'll take it."
The IceRays were powered by their special teams, which scored three times on the power play and twice short-handed.
Despite controlling the play for most of the game's first half, the IceRays trailed 1-0 before converting on the man advantage at 8:55 of the second period, when Beau Walker tipped home Monteith's shot from the left point.
Then at 16:16, Saucerman gave the IceRays the lead during a two-man advantage with his wrist shot from the high slot getting through traffic and past Mustangs goalie Marco Wieser, the former IceRay.
"We were fortunate to get power plays," said Saucerman, who was named an alternate captain before the game. "We were working on the power play all week in the hopes that this situation would happen and we could bury (our opportunities)."
IceRays goalie Pheonix Copley preserved the lead with a terrific one-on-one glove save on Patrick Anderson's bid from the slot with 16:35 left in the third period.
"Pheonix actually made two great saves to keep them from tying the game up in the third," IceRays coach Brent Hughes said. "He did his job tonight.
"Pheonix hasn't played well (at home); he's been great on the road. Tonight, he definitely stepped up and played well in here. Hopefully that builds some confidence in him."
The IceRays then sealed the game with three third-period goals.
First, Jordan Miller scored on a short-handed breakaway to make it 3-1 at 8:06 before New Mexico responded on Adam Chapie's short-handed, penalty-shot tally at 12:35.
But just 22 seconds later, Saucerman ripped a left-circle slap shot past Wieser to make the defenseman the first IceRay with a four-point night this season.
Brandon Marshall then capped the scoring with a short-handed, empty-net goal.
For the first time this year, the IceRays won at home by more than one goal or one goal plus an empty-netter.
"It's good for the heart," Hughes quipped. "It was good to (have a response). It's just great to get a win. We've got to build some confidence in these guys. We've been pounding on them hard and we worked hard all week in practice.
"I think stuff is starting to hit home, but we've got a long way to go with these guys. We took three steps back last weekend, but took a step ahead (in this game). Hopefully (tonight) we can take a step or two ahead again."

Some of us are shower people, and some are bathers.
But there's a way to be both, as the Japanese discovered centuries ago when they developed the ofuro, or soaking tub.
Traditionally, the Japanese get clean with a shower or hand bath and then step into an "ofuro," a deep tub full of clean hot water. These tubs are often large enough that several family members can have a communal soak. It's considered a relaxing and important ritual.
The idea has caught on here, and there are now several manufacturers making ofuro tubs suitable for one bather or a couple. Usually about 27 inches deep, the tubs typically have built-in seats, and often a grab bar. They're available in acrylic, composite, wood, even stainless steel and copper.
Here are the steamy details on some options, and what you should consider before adding one to your home:
Wooden tubs
Bill Finlay owns Sea Otter Woodworks in Haynes, Alaska. While he'd been making outdoor hot tubs for a few years, he made his first ofuro at the request of a business associate, and that sparked an interest in perfecting the craft.
"I made a couple of fact-finding trips to Japan, then developed my own techniques," he says.
Finlay makes the Hinoki Ofuro in a couple of sizes, suitable for one or two people. The material is an aromatic cypress native to Japan; the resin is bacteria- and rot-resistant and withstands humidity. The citrusy fragrance is a common aromatherapy component.
Acrylic and
composite tubs
Wykoff, N.J.-based bath designer Holly Rickert recently won an industry award for a design that incorporated an English soaking tub into a Japanese-style bath.

Depressed and hiding it
Aww, hon, I'm sorry! I don't want to assume either way, so have you talked to your SO about this before? Can you have a Skype date with your family? And depending on where you live, maybe there's a mom's group around that you could go to and at least get out of the house.
with depression I know it's hard, but keeping it bottled inside is only going to make it worse worse worse. Talk to your SO about your feelings and suggest counseling, if not for both of you then just you. If I could, I would suggest counseling for anybody because it teaches you how to problem solve issues in your life and overcome them with strength.
Call your parents, if you go to work soon then make some friends and talk to them, find someone who you can vent to who will help you. Keeping it all inside is a big no-no and your depression will remain.
I can't imagine how hard it must be to be the odd one out in the family. Maybe they just don't know how to act around you, or perhaps they just need to get to know you better. Maybe have a small getogether or a BBQ and invite the family. Show them you want them to be a part of your and LO's life. They might warm up to you.

The FASTMOUNT™ Adapter offers other important capabilities as well:
As Sales Engineer Evelyn Gayer stated, the product's benefits are clearly evident: "It's great to watch our customers' reactions when they first witness the FASTMOUNT™ Adapter in action. It is often followed by the realization that their own modi?cation and connection processes could be much faster." She recounted an example: During a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) at the HOLLOWAY headquarters for a vessel that had the traditional NA-Connects already installed, the pharmaceutical company BioMarin saw the FASTMOUNT™ Adapter in use and promptly had them installed on their pressure tank. Gayer added, "It's nice to know this adapter aids so many great companies, including biotech companies like BioMarin, that can help in the fight against serious illness or life-threatening diseases."

Randolph County was created in late 1828, but it was not until January of 1830 that the county's first elected officers were commissioned. Initially, the town of Lumpkin served as unofficial county seat, with court sessions and other county business taking place in private homes and other locations. In Dec. 1830, Lumpkin served as official county seat for 21 days before being transferred to newly created Stewart County. One year later, a land lot in the center of Randolph County was designated as county seat (as well as the site of the new town of Cuthbert) -- but the county still had no courthouse. According to Jordan and Puster, a wooden courthouse was built here in 1837, with that structure replaced by a brick building in 1840. However, in 1845, the legislature authorized Randolph County officials to levy a special tax to build a new courthouse, so the county's second courthouse may actually date to 1845 or 1846. In 1871, the legislature authorized the county to borrow $20,000 to build a new courthouse, subject to voter approval. Apparently, the election failed, for the legislature enacted new legislation in 1883 calling for a referendum to allow the county to borrow $15,000 to build a courthouse. The election was delayed until 1885, and this time voters gave their approval. Randolph County's new courthouse was completed in 1886 and still serves today.

In network communications, typically a network interface controller (NIC) or other network adapter is present within a system to receive incoming packets from the network. The number of incoming packets can be very large. Thus as the number of cores present in a system continues to increase, technologies such as Receive-Side Scaling (RSS) make it possible to spread network flows among the cores to maintain scalability. Rebalancing the system load can cause network flows to migrate from core to core, which can cause their packets to be processed out of order. Networking protocols such as transmission control protocol (TCP) are designed to handle out-of-order packets correctly, but system performance is reduced as a result. Accordingly, RSS currently uses migration only when processor load is extremely unbalanced.
Some load balancing schemes attempt to prevent packet reordering by only migrating during gaps between bursts. While preserving order is more likely with this technique, a general-purpose operating system (OS) cannot provide a minimum duration of the gap to guarantee that reordering is prevented. Furthermore, while a burst-gap pattern is common in network flows, this behavior is not guaranteed.
In various embodiments, to avoid reordering of packets of a network flow, a network adapter such as a NIC may notify a network protocol handler of an OS as to a flow's migration events by inserting a special marker into a descriptor queue associated with a given core, or any other type of hardware thread, from which a flow is to be migrated. A handler or driver inserts the marker into a network input queue along with the other packets of the flow. A network queue handler holds incoming packets on new cores until the old core receives the marker instructing it to migrate flows. Since packets on the new core remain queued until the old core receives the marker, order is preserved.
A chipset 106 may also communicate with the interconnection network 104. The chipset 106 may include a graphics memory control hub (GMCH) 108. The GMCH 108 may include a memory controller 110 that communicates with a main system memory 112. The memory 112 may store data, including sequences of instructions that are executed by the processor 102, or any other device included in the computing system 100. In one embodiment, the memory 112 may include one or more storage devices such as random access memory (RAM), dynamic RAM (DRAM), synchronous DRAM (SDRAM), static RAM (SRAM), or other types of storage devices. Nonvolatile memory may also be utilized such as a hard disk. Additional devices may communicate via the interconnection network 104, such as multiple CPUs and/or multiple system memories.
The GMCH 108 may also include a graphics interface 114 that communicates with a graphics accelerator 116. In one embodiment, the graphics interface 114 may communicate with the graphics accelerator 116 via an accelerated graphics port (AGP). In an embodiment of the invention, a display (such as a flat panel display, a cathode ray tube (CRT), a projection screen, etc.) may communicate with the graphics interface 114 through, for example, a signal converter.
A hub interface 118 may allow the GMCH 108 and an input/output control hub (ICH) 120 to communicate. The ICH 120 may provide an interface to I/O devices that communicate with the computing system 100. The ICH 120 may communicate with a bus 122 through a peripheral bridge (or controller) 124, such as a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bridge, a universal serial bus (USB) controller, or other types of peripheral bridges or controllers. The bridge 124 may provide a data path between the processor 102 and peripheral devices. Other types of topologies may be utilized. Also, multiple buses may communicate with the ICH 120, e.g., through multiple bridges or controllers. Moreover, other peripherals in communication with the ICH 120 may include, in various embodiments, integrated drive electronics (IDE) or small computer system interface (SCSI) hard drive(s), USB port(s), a keyboard, a mouse, parallel port(s), serial port(s), floppy disk drive(s), digital output support (e.g., digital video interface (DVI)), or other devices.
The bus 122 may communicate with an audio device 126, one or more disk drive(s) 128, and one or more network interface device(s) 130 such as a network adapter (which is in communication with a computer network). A "network interface" as referred to herein relates to a device which may be coupled to a communication medium to transmit data to and/or receive data from other devices coupled to the communication medium, i.e., to send and receive network traffic. For example, a network interface may transmit packets to and/or receive packets from devices coupled to a network such as a local area network. Such a network interface 130 may communicate with other devices according to any one of several data communication formats such as, for example, communication formats according to versions of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard (Std.) 802.3 (CSMA/CD Access Method, 2002 Edition); IEEE Std. 802.11 (LAN/MAN Wireless LANS, 1999 Edition), IEEE Std. 802.16 (2003 and 2004 Editions, LAN/MAN Broadband Wireless LANS), Universal Serial Bus, Firewire, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), synchronous optical network (SONET) or synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) standards. In an embodiment, the network interface device 130 may be a NIC.
As illustrated in
In an embodiment, the application 134 may utilize the OS 132 to communicate with various components of the system 100, e.g., through a device driver (not shown). Hence, the device driver may include network adapter specific commands to provide a communication interface between the O/S 132 and the network adapter 130. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the network adapter 130 may include a (network) protocol layer for implementing the physical communication layer to send and receive network packets to and from remote devices over the network. The network may include any type of computer network such as those discussed with reference to
As shown in
Furthermore, the controller 154, processor(s) 102, and/or logic 160 may have access to a cache (not shown). Moreover, the cache may be a shared or private cache, e.g., including various levels such as one or more of a level 1 (L1) cache, a level 2 (L2) cache, a mid-level cache (MLC), or a last level cache (LLC). In some embodiments, the cache may be incorporated on the same IC chip as the controller 154, processor(s) 102, and/or logic 160.
To preserve packet order of a network flow during a core-to-core migration, a NIC or other network adapter may insert a marker into a current descriptor queue before migrating flows to another queue. Referring now to
When the driver's interrupt handler on the old (i.e., first) core encounters the marker descriptor, it simply moves marker M from descriptor ring 210 a to packet input queue 220 a as if it were an ordinary packet descriptor.
A queue ID variable for each flow group may be used to denote which core is allowed to process the flow groups' packets. As the packet input handler removes packets from input queue 220, it uses this information to decide whether to send each packet to a socket buffer or temporary queue, and if to a temporary queue, which to use. Thus as the input handler dequeues packets, it compares the packet's flow-group's queue ID with the current queue. The input handler processes the flow group's packets so long as the queue ID matches, until a time when the input handler dequeues a marker instructing it to change the queue ID and switch processing to another core. The marker thus assures the input handler that no more packets for the flow group will arrive from the current input queue.
Meanwhile, the input handler on the destination core holds the packets of the migrated flows until the queue ID changes. Since packets for non-migrating flows (not shown in
Referring now to
As shown in
Referring still to
Control passes back to diamond 330 to determine whether the marker has been dequeued. If so, control passes to block 350, where a queue identifier may be switched to the second core. More specifically, when the marker has been dequeued, the input handler causes a queue identifier to switch association to the second core. Still further, the input handler sends an IPI message to the second core (block 360). This message then causes initiation of an IPI handler that acts to wake up the second core for dequeuing operations with respect to the first flow packets that are present in the temporary buffer associated with the second core. Accordingly, the second core may process packets that are in the temporary buffer in order (block 370). Thus these packets are processed in order following the earlier packets of this first network flow that were processed on the first core. Finally, after this temporary buffer is drained, normal operations may continue such that packets present in the input queue associated with the second core may be processed (block 380). In this way, packets may continue to be handled in order even during a migration event from a first processor to a second processor. While shown with this particular implementation in the embodiment of
Embodiments thus avoid drawbacks of other methods that prevent reordering. For example, while the operating system could attempt to finish processing all packets of a flow before allowing migration, it can never be certain the NIC is not already sending a new packet to the old core. A race condition will always exist without assurance from the NIC that no more packets will arrive on the old core. This could be done by disabling the NIC's interrupts, but this would introduce an unnecessary delay in processing packets. Likewise, the network protocol could assume missing packets are always due to migration so that it delays processing while waiting for the packet on another core, but this would delay retransmission in the case of actual missing data. Another method to prevent reordering is to only migrate during gaps between packet bursts caused by TCP's self-clocking behavior. This method attempts to allow existing packets enough time to be processed completely before migrating. However, if a new packet arrives too soon, the migration does not occur. This requires estimation of how long it takes for a core to process a packet burst, but most operating systems provide no such real-time guarantees. Furthermore, although the burst-gap pattern is a common TCP property, it is not a guaranteed network condition.
Embodiments that use markers to enable migration while preventing reordering can be used with virtually any packet classification system, although RSS is described herein as an example. As long as the NIC can provide enough information in the marker to identify groups of flows and the destination core, the OS can handle the details of processing the migration with correct packet ordering.
Using markers also allows multiple successive migrations on any number of cores. For example, the NIC can send packets to cores in a round-robin manner and insert markers between them. The markers thus form a linked list, where each marker points to the queue on which to find the next marker.
Thus even in NICs that support increasing numbers of queues within platforms that contain an increasing number of cores, the NIC may preserve packet order to improve the performance of migrations. Such migration may be common in systems that execute workloads that incorporate load balancing, virtualization, and power provisioning.
Embodiments that preserve packet order are independent of the manner in which packets are classified into queues, as a NIC can identify which groups of flows have migrated to which queues. Embodiments thus can be added to current flow classification schemes such as RSS, since they do not alter their fundamental architecture and function. Likewise, future flow classification and queuing schemes can similarly use an embodiment of the present invention.
Thus a NIC or other input device can be designed to explicitly provide the driver and operating system with the necessary information to preserve data sequence during core-to-core migration of flows. As such, the driver and/or operating system can be designed to rely on information from the NIC or other input device to preserve order.
Embodiments may be implemented in code and may be stored on a storage medium having stored thereon instructions which can be used to program a system to perform the instructions. The storage medium may include, but is not limited to, any type of disk including floppy disks, optical disks, compact disk read-only memories (CD-ROMs), compact disk rewritables (CD-RWs), and magneto-optical disks, semiconductor devices such as read-only memories (ROMs), random access memories (RAMs) such as dynamic random access memories (DRAMs), static random access memories (SRAMs), erasable programmable read-only memories (EPROMs), flash memories, electrically erasable programmable read-only memories (EEPROMs), magnetic or optical cards, or any other type of media suitable for storing electronic instructions.
While the present invention has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate numerous modifications and variations therefrom. It is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications and variations as fall within the true spirit and scope of this present invention.

During "Kids First" Sunday School your children will experience the Bible lessons while taking part in "stations", using hands-on activities such as crafts, games, cooking, science, drama and nature. These interactive activities will be offered at a different time slot each week.

Ubuntu 10.04 Restores Google Search
The final version of Ubuntu Linux will restore Google as the default search engine in Firefox.
Rick Spencer, engineering manager for desktops at Canonical, made it official on the Ubuntu developer list. He had announced earlier in the year that Ubuntu was moving to Yahoo! as the default search engine in Firefox and began instituting it in the Lucid Lynx milestone releases. Recently, Spencer made the announcement that Lucid is scrapping the idea and going back to Google as the default search engine for the final freeze on April 15.
Spencer's announcement isn't terribly clear about the motivation behind the flip-flop, but that the "underlying circumstances can change unpredictably." In any case, the flip-flop will be transparent to most Ubuntu users upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04. Unless they were part of the development cycle for Lucid, they won't have to get used to a different default search engine, says Spencer.

The longtime Hendrix College president will step down and eventually return to being a professor at the college, spokesman Rob O'Connor said Friday.
J. Timothy Cloyd will leave his position effective immediately, according to a news release. Cloyd earned a base pay of about $314,000 a year, according to the college's 2010 tax form.
"Here is one thing I have learned: Organizations are living, evolving organisms," Cloyd wrote in email. "That is why through prayer and deep reflection with my family, I have decided that it is time for new leadership."
Hendrix has just finished a major fundraising campaign so the timing for Cloyd stepping down ushers in a new period of planning at Hendrix, officials said.
