Tied atop the standings in the Southeastern Conference, UK needed only to win out to guarantee a share of its first conference title in three decades.
Deep into each of the first two legs of that final stretch, the Cats were in firm control. Against Vanderbilt, UK led by 17 with just 6:44 to play. Hosting South Carolina, Kentucky was up nine with 5:05 left.
Both times, things got much more interesting before the final buzzer for UK Hoops.
"It was very concerning because we got some good shots and we were coaching every possession," head coach Matthew Mitchell said. "We found some good shots there and they just did not fall."
UK would survive comeback bids in both games. The Commodores closed to within six points in the final minutes while the Gamecocks got as close as two before a bizarre final sequence, only for the Wildcats to come away with a pair of wins.
"We all have to realize these kids are going through this for the first time," Mitchell said. "I'm going through this for the first time. I don't care what you say, it's difficult to go through. I hope experience will help the next time we go through something."
With the benefit of a Tennessee loss on Thursday night, the No. 13/10 Wildcats (23-5, 12-3 SEC) clinched a share of that conference title and will have a chance to grab sole possession of the championship and a No. 1 seed in the conference tournament in a trip to face Mississippi State (14-14, 4-11 SEC) on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. on ESPNU.
"The respect that I have for this league growing up in the SEC country and just seeing all the great champions throughout my lifetime and what it's taken to win a championship in this league, I just have a tremendous respect for an SEC championship," Mitchell said. "It would be hard for me to think of the words to say what it would mean."
A native Louisville, Miss., Mitchell has been familiar with the quality of basketball in the SEC from an early age, and Mississippi State coach and former UK head coach Sharon Fanning-Otis is a part of that. Fanning-Otis will be coaching her final home game as she plans to retire following the season and Mitchell owes a debt of gratitude to her.
"There weren't a whole lot of people when I was staring out as a high school coach in Mississippi that I learned more from than her," Mitchell said. "She spent a lot of time with me as a high school coach. I worked her camps. She is a great lady. She has meant a lot to me. She has meant a lot to this program too, she has the second-most wins of any coach in this program."
Though UK defeated Mississippi State 88-40 earlier this season in Memorial Coliseum, the Bulldogs figure to be motivated to play for their departing coach and players on Senior Day.
Also working against the Wildcats are the bad memories of their last three road games. Before besting Vanderbilt and South Carolina, Kentucky lost three in a row to allow Tennessee back in the SEC race.
"The LSU game, we let officiating bother us," Mitchell said. "We didn't adjust to that. Tennessee game, we let our offense bother us. And then Alabama, I don't have any explanation for you on that one but we learned something. Our back got against the wall and now we've had a three-game season and we've completed the first two successfully."
There were different factors at play in those three losses, but defense was the common denominator in Mitchell's eyes. Fortunately, UK's ability to defend is what allowed the Cats to hold on down the stretch of the two recent wins.
Mitchell also believes that familiarity played a big part in the Commodores' and Gamecocks' furious comebacks.
"I just have to believe we're going to play through that at some point in time," Mitchell said. "I always think in the NCAA Tournament you get a bit of a refresh button because now you're not as familiar. With South Carolina, we play them year after year after year. Dawn Staley and I watch each other coach and we're going on four or five years or whatever it's been. It's tough when people know you that well so I'm not terribly concerned about any late-game issues."
Though the prospect of winning a conference title outright is certainly exciting, the NCAA Tournament is ultimately how the Wildcats will judge their season.

In the late 1940s Picasso settled here in a simple stone house, creating pottery art from the malleable soil with a single-minded passion. But he returned to painting in 1952 to create one of his masterworks in the château's Romanesque chapel, the vast multipanel oil-on-wood composition called La Guerre et la Paix (War and Peace). The chapel is part of the Musée National Picasso today, where several of Picasso's ceramic pieces are displayed.

(e.g., genomics information that is sent business to business) and products with long life cycles (e.g., medicines), for most products, the time to market can be very long (several years). Also, because of the high degree of attrition in developing a clinical product, the success rate for the biotechnology industry is about one in ten, and the averaged cost of bringing a successful therapeutic product to the market represents an investment of around $500 million.
The capital investment needed to pursue biotechnology, especially in the initial stages, is much higher than that for much of the IT industry (chip fabrication aside). Additionally, biotechnology has a much longer history of protecting its innovative efforts by creating barriers to entry (proprietary position/relationships and, especially with the pharmaceutical industry, patents) than does the IT industry, although the IT industry is rapidly turning to patents to protect its innovations as well.
There are interesting cross-plays between the biotechnology and IT sectors. IBM has estimated that drug companies are spending $1.2 billion to $1.8 billion externally on R&D software and IT equipment. As pharmacogenomics and molecular medicine expand, and as clinics and providers move into individualized medicine, the IT opportunity expands alongside them. IBM has announced that its Gene Blue project—the company aims to build a computer 500 times more powerful than the fastest computers used today—will attempt to solve the complex problem of protein folding, a key challenge in understanding protein function.
Also, in response to the needs of the biotechnology industry, several new companies are using the Internet to create new markets for bioinformatics and are offering easy-to-use versions of complex software to life scientists rather than to bioinformaticians per se.

I demo-ed this board last season and was totally blown away. I tried several boards from Burton and Lib-Tech and this was by far my favorite. The flying-V shape is the exact combination of playful ride and snappy pop. Love it!
process flying v is a champ!

Love this board! Never given me an issue on the mountain, anywhere I go its smooth, fast and agile.. Easy to carve through powder or on a groomed run this board is definitely worth the buy
Just loving it

I snowboard on the east coast and west coast, so I needed a well balanced board. The design of this board is excellent. The Burton Process Flying V is exactly what the doctor ordered.
awesome board

nice board, and a Little heavy
Perfect for intermediate to advanced.
By Evan
from Mission viejo, CA
This board is absolutely perfect for intermediate to advanced or even expert park and mountain riders. I use it mainly on the park but also love to hit the big slope runs every once in a while. Its got great control and play as well and just the right amount of flexibility. It has great play and freedom on boxes and rails with minimal catch and makes nose and tail presses really satisfying. If you're mostly a mountain rider and not on the parks much I would definitely recommend a straight camber board. I have had very much fun with this board the past season and plan on enjoying it for many other seasons to come.

Loving it. Great board
Excellent Board

I only rode this board once since it was so late in the season. It handled really well and I cannot wait for next winter.
Awesome board
By The Dude
from Arkansas
I'm an all mountain guy, I was looking for a soft, fun board that I could still charge with if I wanted and this is definitely the ticket. Beautiful board (honestly makes you kind of sad when it gets dings) however, it is a tough board that can absorb a lot of damage. It does slip a little on ice, but it has a great hold on almost everything else, and is very stable and catch free. I love it.

A Living Human Treasure system
The creation of the official title of Master of Art (Maître d'art) was inspired by the National Living Treasures of Japan. Following their example, the Masters of Art transmit their rare know-how. They are devoted to the evolution of their crafts and display a spirit of innovation.
Legal measures
The Art Crafts Council (Conseil des métiers d'art) was created by the Ministerial Order of 16 March 1994 of the Minister of Culture and Communication in order to protect and develop rare and exceptional know-how held by professionals of the art crafts in the private sector.
This Ministerial Order of 16 March 1994 was superseded by the ministerial order of 28 March 2002 (French) pertaining to the Art Crafts Council, then by the ministerial order of 3 August 2004 (French) pertaining to the Art Crafts Council and the Art Crafts Mission.
The title of Master of Art was established through a Ministerial Order on 15 November 1994.
Who are the « Masters of Art »?
- The "Maître d'art" Jean Dominique Fleury, painter on glass, among its apprentices
A Master of Art is a highly skilled professional who masters exceptional or rare know-how. Recognised by his peers for his experience and pedagogical competencies, he must be capable of transmitting his knowledge and skills to an apprentice in order to keep them alive for future generations.
Domains of intangible cultural heritage concerned
The 63 currently recognized Masters of Art exercise their activities in the following domains:
- instrument making
- prints and bookbinding
- theatre, music and dance
- building techniques
- textiles and fashion design
- pottery and ceramics
- mecanical arts
- wood working and cabinet making
- metal
- jewellery, and gold and silver work.
Responsible body in charge of the system
The Art Crafts Council (Conseil des métiers d'art)
Created in 1994 by Ministerial Order, the Art Crafts Council is an advisory body.
It is presided over by the Minister of Culture and Communication, who is represented by an honorary president.
The Council comprises 30 members designated by order of the Minister of Culture for a term of three years, renewable for a further term. The 30 members are professionals of the art crafts and representatives of professional bodies. The Council also comprises ex-officio members (Plastic Arts Delegation, Directorate of Music, Dance, Theatre and Live Entertainment, Directorate of Architecture and Heritage, Directorate of the Museums of France, Directorate of Books and Reading, Directorate of the French Archives, Delegation of Territorial Action and Development, officials of the Art Crafts Mission, and Regional Directorates for Cultural Affairs).
A representative of the Ministry in charge of crafts also participates in the work of the Council.
The members of the Council meet at least twice a year in plenary session and work in commissions. They assume their functions on a voluntary basis.
The members of the Council are invested with the following missions:
- facilitate dialogue between the art craft professionals and the ministerial services concerned;
- make proposals for preservation, innovation, promotion and training in the art crafts;
- participate in the different selections of candidate dossiers;
- examine the candidacies of future Masters ;
- respond to inquiries;
- present the selected candidates to the Minister of Culture and Communication;
- ensure follow-up, support and coaching for the transmission of know-how from the masters to their students.
The Art Crafts Mission
The Art Crafts Mission coordinates the actions relating to the art crafts, and ensures the Secretariat of the Art Crafts Council.
In particular, its mission is to:
- perpetrate exceptional art crafts;
- ensure the valorisation and promotion of the Masters of Art and their crafts;
- every two years, with the Art Crafts Council and the Selection Working Group, organise and select the Masters of Art nominated by the Minister of Culture and Communication;
- plan a three-year pedagogical and administrative follow-up for students, during the period of transmission of the skills.
Selection Process
- The "Maître d'art" Pierre Meyer, turner of figures on ivory, with an apprentice
The Masters of Art are selected every two years. The selection process is established by the Selection Working Group, the Art Crafts Mission and the Regional Directorates for Cultural Affairs. This operation is carried out in close collaboration with the Art Crafts Council and the experts who participate in the short listing of the candidacies in accordance with certain criteria. The Selection Working Group meets several times, according to the specific domains, and designates three rapporteurs – a professional of the art crafts, an expert from the Ministry, and a specialist of the craft concerned – who examine the pre-selected candidacies and visit the workshops.
The candidacies are examined by the Art Crafts Council, the Art Crafts Mission and the Selection Working Group.
Finally, the Art Crafts Council draws up the list of art craft professionals from which the Minister of Culture and Communication designates the Masters of Art. The title of Master of Art is conferred by Ministerial Order.
Selection criteria
The criteria are:
- to have practiced for at least 10 years;
- to possess a rare or exceptional know-how;
- to demonstrate excellence;
- to accept to transmit this rare know-how to an apprentice.
The following criteria should also be taken into account:
- the jury's concerns to preserve rare or exceptional know-how, which have yet to be recognized;
- the desire to value the rarity of excellence in certain non-endangered professional fields;
- the candidates' ability to contribute to the evolution of their professional field through the innovations they have carried out;
- the economic viability of their know-how;
- the usefulness of this know-how for the preservation-restoration of intangible heritage and contemporary creation;
- the candidates' ability to take into account the future of their profession and to communicate their know-how.
Rights and obligations of the Masters of Art
Once designated, the Master of Art is invested with the mission to transmit his know-how to an apprentice. This transmission takes place in the Master's workshop over a period of three years. The transmission of know-how is the subject of an agreement between the Master of Art and the Ministry of Culture and Communication which provides a yearly allocation, the amount of which is fixed by the Minister (16,000 Euros in 2004). A second agreement, established between the Master of Art and the apprentice, defines the pedagogical and practical modalities of the training.
More information on the Masters of Art
As of mid 2006, France counted 63 Masters of Art designated by the Minister of Culture and Communication: 20 in 1994, 12 in 1995, 5 in 1996, 7 in 1998, 6 in 2000, 6 in 2002 et 7 in 2004.

Gear Question
I currently use the Sidi Dominator 5 size...
I currently use the Sidi Dominator 5 size 45 mega. The extra width is great for relieving hot spots and using a BG footbed & vargus shim. I still have a little room and could fit a thicker sock if needed. A standard width is too narrow and a 46 is too long.
So the Diablo only comes in 45 or 46 & standard size with some extra room for a thicker sock. Would that equate to a Mega width or smaller? Since I would be using thicker socks & liner socks in cold weather I need extra width & length to accommodate that. I don't want to use booties over my current shoes and rather be able to use the Diablos for cold weather.
So I am trying to decide weather a 45 would be wide enough or whether I should use a 46 and hope the length is not an issue with thick socks. Too bad they don't offer half sizes or mega width, which would be a better fit.
Regards Steve
Answer to my own question. I tried both the 45 & 46 and both are too narrow in the toe box with thick socks or a liner sock & standard sock. With standard socks they are ok, but then there is no air space to help keep warm. Too bad they don't make these in a mega size. I am returning both and will try the Shimano MW80, which is very similar but has a standard wide toe box as in most Shimano shoes.

Forms are ubiquitous on the web. Any time you provide a username and password to log into a site, add a comment to a blog, or order anything online, you are filling out a form.
This section covers the HTML needed to create a form while touching on the principles of good form design. However, there are two important areas that we will need to leave unaddressed at this time:
We will not have the opportunity to cover the processing of form data, i.e. what happens after the user clicks the "Submit" button. HTML allows for the creation of the form, but allows for limited from validation. In addition, you must use at least one other web development language to double-check the validation, together with all the other tasks: inserting the validated user data into a database with MySQL, or checking it as a username/password combination, or sending the submitted information in an eMail. Typically these languages include JavaScript, PHP, Perl, or some alternative. Processing of form data is covered in later articles.
The form we create will work just fine (up until the moment the user presses submit), but will look terrible. We use CSS to control the appearance of forms, which is again covered in a later article.
Learners are often tempted to add more markup to their forms to make them "look better". I know it is frustrating to create a form that doesn't look the way you want it to, but please don't add markup other than what you learn here. You'll only be adding redundant or irrelevant tags that will get in the way when we add CSS to forms.

|Standard flower seed planting method, where the seeds are pressed into spongy potting soil and kept evenly moist and cool until germination, which occurs in a couple of weeks. Work up in pots and plant out to 6 inch spacing.
Seed best sown as soon as it is ripe in pots outdoors. Sow stored seed in early spring in a cold frame. A period of cold stratification is helpful. The fresh seed can germinate in 3 - 4 weeks at 13°c according to one report, though it can be slow, difficult and erratic and take 2 years to germinate. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and plant them out into their permanent positions in the following spring.
Division in spring.Prefers a moist, well-drained humus rich soil, preferably lime-free. One report says that it is often found in calcareous soils in the wild. Tolerates a pH in the range 5.8 to 7.6. Prefers a mixture of sand, loam and peat. Prefers a position in full sun. Succeeds in light woodland and in a rock garden or border. Plants are hardy to about -25°c.
|Planted in loose, acidic loam soil, and given a sunny and moist position, this plant will make a carpet of live roots within a couple of years. Highly florific when happy.

|Hardy to all temperate zones, especially at elevation.
Creeping alpine herbaceous perennial native to the American Mountain West.
Arnica is a botanical treasure that we treat with reverence. Meadow Arnica is medicinally interchangeable with Arnica Montana, is less elevation dependent than Arnica montana, and yields well from multiple flower stalks.
Arnica has a long history of herbal use, especially as an external treatment for bruises and sprains - it is an ingredient of a number of proprietary preparations.
Internally, it has been used in the treatment of heart complaints and as a booster for the immune system. Arnica increases local blood supply and accelerates healing, it is anti-inflammatory and increases the rate of absorption of internal bleeding. Generally the plant is nowadays only recommended for internal use as a homeopathic medicine, principally for treating shock, injury and pain.
If used as a decoction or tincture it stimulates the circulation and is valuable in the treatment of angina and a weak or failing heart, but it can be toxic even at quite low doses and so is rarely used this way.
The flowers are the part most commonly used, they are harvested when fully open and dried - the receptacles are sometimes removed since these are liable to be attacked by insects. The root is also used, it is harvested after the leaves have died down in the autumn and dried for later use.
Although a very valuable remedy, it should be used with caution. It has been known to cause contact dermatitis when used externally and collapse when taken internally. Only take it internally under the supervision of a qualified practitioner.
The freshly crushed flowers cause sneezing if inhaled. The leaves have also been smoked as a tobacco, though it is unclear whether this was for medicinal reasons.
The whole plant, harvested when in flower, is used in homeopathic remedies. It is especially useful in the treatment of traumatic injuries, sores and bruises. The homeopathic dose has also been used effectively in the treatment of epilepsy and seasickness, and it might be of use as a hair growth stimulant.The German Commission E Monographs, a therapeutic guide to herbal medicine, approve Arnica montana for fever and colds, inflammation of the skin, cough/bronchitis, inflammation of the mouth and pharynx, rheumatism, common cold, blunt injuries, tendency to infection. The essential oil has to be diluted before being used externally.

The Inefficiency of C++, Fact or Fiction?
A widespread "truth" among developers of embedded software is that using C++ results in inferior code size and speed compared with using C. This article will attempt to sort out the facts from the fiction in this statement. By better understanding the underlying mechanisms of the language, a designer can avoid code bloat. This article will also discuss various C++ language features, compare them with C, describe their implications for the ARM code generation, and look at the efficiency of the different ARM architectures.
daraf Posted Jul 13, 2010
It is my impression that the biggest cost of C++ versus C is that C++ code tends to create and discard enormous numbers of objects. Of course, you can do that in C and you can write C++ in a way that it does not create and discard numerous objects. It is just that the C++ programmers are accustom to programming that way.
Etmax Posted Oct 16, 2010
Maybe the problem is that to be a good embedded SW engineer you need a lot of understanding of the implication for the HW and the real world (code size/speed) that certain functionality brings with it. I was debugging a device once where the engineer computed a production variation dependent translation factor in an 8mS loop then had to put all these watchdog pats everywhere in the code so the dog wouldn't timeout. This meant that no matter how the code failed it was always going to be able to pat the dog :-). This quite apart from the sluggish performance it introduced. This was in 'C'. I changed it so it computed the factor at start up (Once) and reused it. The programmer was a PC developer in a past life I think, and didn't understand the ramifications of having only 1 MIP available. I will say though, that because C++ removes a lot of the complexity from the developer, it invariably results in poorer code because if you can't afford the time to develop in 'C' then you probably can't afford the time to actually do a complete run time analysis on the finished product. Also, if you write embedded code in C++ in a manner that is as efficient as in 'C' then you are most likely not using the C++ extensions. I Have to agree whole heartedly with betajet, I have often referred to 'C' as a "device independent assembler", and in the deeply embedded space it is best used as such.
betajet Posted Jul 16, 2010
In general, you have to be much more explicit about function calls and dynamic memory allocation in C, so you have a much better idea of what your program is really telling the computer to do. In many ways, C is a "portable assembly language" rather than a high-level language, and one tends to produce better code by thinking of C that way, especially in embedded applications. C++ hides this from the user, so it's easy to create inefficiencies without meaning to. There's an old joke: "C gives you enough rope to hang yourself. C++ gives you enough rope to tie up everybody in your neighborhood, rig a small ship, and still have enough left over to hang yourself from the yardarm."
fred571 Posted Dec 10, 2010
There is no dynamic allocation in C++ unless the new operator is used. This does occur within the standard template library, but for your own code, the clue is the keyword new. I consider this to be as explicit as a call to malloc is in C.
DKC Posted Jul 20, 2010
C++ is probably more inefficient in terms of code size, however the ability to use inheritance and function overloading allows you to tune versions of code more easily, i.e. you can move a bunch of decision making from run-time to compile-time or instantiation (class object creation). Calling virtual functions may incur redirection costs and blow branch-prediction, but it also replaces decision making about what to call. Programming "by exception" is an anti-pattern - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-pattern#Programming_anti-patterns STL is general purpose code, and the implementation is poor - I avoid using it.
WaltKaras Posted Jul 22, 2010
Meh. Tends to oversimplify. You need to have some idea of what the generated object code will look like, which can depend on how good your tools are. Virtual functions and base classes are cheap but the "make everything virtual just in case" approach should still be avoided in highly constrained systems. Templates and inline functions are free if your tools make sure there is no duplicate object code, but in practice I doubt most existing tools meet this standard. Exception implementation can have virtually no speed overhead in exchange to a considerable size overhead. There are tricks that can avoid generation of superfluous exception-handling object code, but that somewhat negates the advantage not explicitly handling exceptions with function return values. One issue that can be a show-stopper is environments where machine code needs to be explicitly paged in (not by an internal interrupt). Code to do this in C I think can be fairly portable, but in C++ it's non-portable at best and impossible worst-case. I think this may be the only non-aesthetic reason that the Linux Kernel has not been rewritten in C++ .

jianqiang Posted Aug 11, 2010
I think that the author has lost his/her way in indulging in the C++. The simple fact is that the C++ programming language is not written for the embedded design, but for the large application/operation system. And the C is written to be "portable assembly language" as Mr. betajet pointed out. The embedded design has to deal with the precise control of the the hardware. The most precision/flexible tool for the embedded design is the assembly language. But it has the disadvantage of inefficiency. The C is written for the very purpose of adding the harware-control flexibility to the high-level programming language, therefore, it is the best and most efficient tool for the embedded design. The C produces much faster and smaller codes than the C++ does when dealing with hardware control and numerical calculation, such as FFT.

jianqjianq You probably should read the paper before posting those opinions. ;-)
boffin Posted Aug 11, 2010
Anders Lundgren is more concerned with code size than code performance. Both depend on the compiler and the optimizations though he is right in his conclusions about code size. As regards performance, my own experience is that out of the box pure C++ leaves much to be desired. The STL tries to be something for every circumstance and you do far better to roll your own routines. Inline assembler is obviously an advantage since C++ compilers will rarely get the best code. As an example on standard Intel PC processors: in CFD there is often the need to invert a tri-diagonal matrix - that is far better done using SSE instructions, yet no compiler I have tried does this. On VLIW processors it's the same problem - the compilers are too naive. Of course on some machines CUDA may be the ultimate answer, but then you must parallelise everything. (I work writing high performance video and Computational Gas Dynamic codes where every millisecond counts).
BMN Posted Aug 19, 2010
RTTI doesn't necessarily depend on the string name of the classes. I think most compilers are smart enough to avoid this and use another means to identify classes.
PAVANSAM Posted Aug 31, 2010
encapsulation/classes - FREE namespaces - FREE inlining - FREE operator overloading - FREE constructors/destructors - FREE references - FREE virtual functions - CHEAP templates - EXPENSIVE STL (Standard Template Library) – EXPENSIVE RTTI – expensive exceptions - expensive concept is free but the implementation cost of the final req using those concepts in c++ would be definitely high compared to c !!
Reagan.Thomas Posted Sep 10, 2010
Take a seasoned C programmer, teach them C++ but make sure their understanding is such that they can picture in C or assembly each piece of C++ they encounter in their study. Then they'll know how to make efficient C++ code when necessary... even if they have to resort to C. I suppose you could do the reverse too; teach a C++ coder C and at least some assembly and explain what C++ is doing in terms "closer to the metal." In any case or language, when efficiency is critical, so is understanding the relationship between the code and the computing resources available.
MikeLC Posted Sep 30, 2010
C++ properly done, is a great language for any kind of code, including embedded. I liked the article showing what constructs were to be used and which to be avoided. There's a great table near the end of the article. It's nice to see that the major benefits of the language, inheritance, encapsulation and other class object-oriented aspects have little or no affect on efficiency. Only RTTI, Exceptions and STL are really inefficient in embedded systems, and I personally only use some of the STL, which I've found is only inefficient in certain cases. I would make one point: for the novice be absolutely sure you pass by reference (or pointer) to avoid copy constructor over-usage. Also, there is nothing wrong with using c-constructs such as structs in C++.
Vincent.Claes Posted Nov 12, 2010
does someone has a good reference article comparing C++ and Java for embedded systems? Which OO language do we have to learn as an embedded software guy?
Jeff Dickey Posted Nov 16, 2010
The idea of carrying around a JVM on an embedded system makes me almost violently ill. Good luck with that (you'll need it)… C++ will always have the question of "which C++ features will you use/declare off-limits?" Though I generally agree with PAVANSAM's list above, eliminating "expensive" won't cut it for many, many C++ projects Have you taken a look at Objective-C lately (2.0+)? The more I work with it, the more I look back at the pitched battles fought against C++ and shudder. Several alternatives for toolchain, including decent gcc and LLVM implementations.
eembedded_janitor Posted Nov 28, 2010
Have a look at Lejos (google will find). This is a JVM for the Lego Mindstorms platform. It runs on a small ARM with less than 64 k of memory footprint. The actual JVM part is quite small (approx 20k). I have yet to see any benefit in using C++ for embedded systems. C does a fine job.
eembedded_janitor Posted Nov 28, 2010
Jeff: If you choke on a JVM.... Tektronics made an oscilloscope using Smalltalk. I used one of these and it had the annoying habit of deciding to do garbage collection as you turned a knob. That would cause a delay of a large part of a second causing you to zoom to far. Objective C is interesting, essentially being a fusion of C and smalltalk.
sharps_eng Posted Dec 2, 2010
Here we go again - please, please, before commenting on language issues, consider if your example is actually about weak program design which is of course truly language-independent! Also, like it or not, embedded Linux (and bigger) systems are here to stay (and one is in your pocket at this moment I should think). C++ can be used happily for real-time work, but only if the programmer first knows what real-time work actually means.
fred571 Posted Dec 10, 2010
My suggestions for C++ features that should be used first by C programmers: - private member data: clearly separates interface from implementation and enlists the help of the compiler to catch those rascals attempting to jump the fence. - constructors: YOU write the initialization code for the object's member data. That initialization function is automatically invoked as a byproduct of user code making one of the objects. Don't tell me you never forgot to initialize an element of a C structure! - Stroustrup's "resource allocation is initialization": THE BEST coding technique for reliably releasing a resource before exiting a code block. - virtual functions: codify "this is a special kind of that" relationships. They're everywhere. - default parameters: let your callers omit call parameters that can be optional. - const: this is a special case of the principle of least privilege. jelliott (you know what goes here but a spam parser does not) validatedsoftware.com
fred571 Posted Dec 10, 2010
I hope to see an investigation of the run-time and code space costs of exceptions. Remember that a properly written C program checks for errors, so factor that in when making a comparison to equivalent C++.
Scott.Bonomi_#1 Posted Dec 29, 2010
This is a grand case of poTAYtp vs poTAHto. Each language has the areas where it excels and the areas where it could be improved upon. There are some nice advantages to C++ which can be used to encourage encapsulation of modules. There are also some disadvantages which can mostly be avoided by good embedded coding practices. I do not expect any language to be correct for all implementations. I do expect to be able to bring a language tool out of the toolbox that is appropriate for the task at hand. Whether that tool is C or C++ (or Ada or FORTRAN or Forth or Smalltalk or Lisp or Jovial or....) is dependent on the requirements of the system under design and the skills of the person or team working the problem. One could even use Java if desired; but that depends a lot on the system target. If you are using an ARM7 with 32k of Flash and 16k of RAM, it would not really lend itself to adding a VM using 20k unless your application is really, really small. This, of course, depends on processor selection and picking a processor that is $0.50 cheaper may be important if you are going to make several million devices. If you are only making ten systems, the cost of a more capable processor is probably lost in the noise. I believe that what we ought to bring away from this paper is that there are ways to avoid or alleviate most of the "historical tribal knowledge" issues with C++ in an embedded system and that there are some advantages of using it. Dan Saks has written extensively on how to implement useful, and somewhat portable, real time constructs in C and C++. I believe that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in ost cases. This opinion is probably colored by the type of system I tend to work on; one which has a long maintenance life after the first delivery. In this case, the advantages of encapsulation, and supporting module re-use, become more important. Scott Bonomi sbonomi at cei.to
adkohler Posted Jan 20, 2011
In our shop, most of the "gotchas" mentioned in the whitepaper--and many posts--are well known and understood. We never use exceptions or create new objects after initialization. We know most STL is expensive and that there are better alternatives. And knowing is half the battle. :)
Bear1959 Posted Feb 28, 2011
Unless you need the extra bells and whistles of C++ it is usually best to keep to the KISS principle. In most cases C does an excellent job for embedded work. Of course, if for whatever reason (others in the shop are using C++, or you need the extra functionality of C++) then go ahead and use that. However, use the simplest language that will get the job done with excellence as more complex schemes just add unnessary cost of learning, development, and maintenence. All things are possible, but not all things are the cheapest or fastest.

Author information
Way back in the 80s we did a round-the-world trek spending long spells in the tropics, floating over vivid coral reefs and wishing we were down below with the divers. At the time our budget didn't extend to learning to dive but within months of returning to London we signed up for a BSAC course, did our first open water dives in the Maldives and all our qualification dives in Cyprus. A few years went by and we became increasingly involved in the diving world as a photo-journalist team with editorial work covering both land and dive travel, marine biology and conservation. A few years later, we took a 'career break' and aimed to dive our way around the world. We didn't manage to see as much as we wanted but it was a great year and led to being published in many international dive magazines, newspapers, travel guides and on the internet. Since then, we have become PADI Master Scuba Divers and our work has become increasingly focussed on dive travel books. We have been lucky enough to return to many of the places we first visited in the 80s and are slowly managing to reach all the other diving destinations we missed in the past. Together, we now run SeaFocus, an information and image-based resource for scuba divers with an ever growing gallery of underwater photos from well known scuba diving holiday destinations across the world along with marine species galleries and information files.

I was perusing this site for some dive books for Christmas and was pleased to see this. It has been on my shelf since if came out and i love it. Full of nice descriptions on each area and I use it each year to choose my main diving holiday. So far I have been to the Maldives, Egypt and Grenada after reading this. It is very inspirational with lots of great pictures.

Low-cost carrier Tiger Airways has chosen Avalon Airport in Melbourne as its third Australian base.
The Singapore-based airline, which has a fully-owned Australian subsidiary that operates on domestic routes, says that it will base two Airbus A320 aircraft at Avalon from later this year. Tiger's two existing bases in Australia are Melbourne's main Tullamarine Airport and Adelaide Airport.
"The new base at Avalon Airport will complement existing services at Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport and allow Tiger Airways to further increase its fleet in Australia. The two new A320 aircraft which will be based at Avalon Airport will increase the number of Tiger Airways aircraft in Australia to 11," says the carrier.
The airline did not say when it plans to start services out of Avalon or reveal the destinations it plans to serve.
Tiger will go head-on against Qantas' low-cost carrier Jetstar, which operates flights to Sydney and Brisbane out of Avalon.

A judge has granted an order that will allow legendary singer Etta James to undergo an independent medical exam.
A judge has granted an order that will allow legendary singer Etta James to undergo an independent medical exam.
The Associated Press reports the ailing siren has been ordered to get an independent checkup after her son, Donto James, complained that she may be in "very serious danger" with her live-in doctor.
Etta is currently being treated for dementia and leukemia among other ailments. Donto's lawyer said at a hearing last week that Etta had been fitted with feeding tubes, a procedure he feels should have been done at a medical facility, not at home.
Judge Thomas Cahraman then agreed for a court-appointed attorney to set up an independent medical exam to assess Etta's needs. The singer's doctor told AP that she backs the judge's decision because caring for Etta is no easy task.
"He can have 10 examiners; he can have 20 physicians to come in that house to perform the duties I do. I have a list of 23 medical sub-specialties that I have had to treat her for," the doctor said. "She is not an easy patient. I have saved her several times. Eventually she will die with something, but it will not be with my help."

Drought impacts local cattle production
Families will likely see higher prices for fresh meat and produce as the drought continues to devastate farmers across the region.
The latest New Mexico State University Agricultural Statistics report was released last month and shows a decline in beef cattle production throughout the state. In fact, the number of beef cattle is at its lowest in state history, said Newt McCarty, extension agent at NMSU Valencia County Cooperative Extension Service.
Hay prices skyrocketed in 2011 because without adequate rainfall, ranges dried up. Beef producers began streamlining their herds, McCarty said.
"Even after the drought, if the drought ever goes away, it's still going to take awhile to rebuild that beef herd," he said. "It's a fairly prolonged situation because of the cost in rebuilding the herd."
Valencia County farmers are bracing for another dry growing season, and some may wonder if the current drought conditions are the new norm.
"Maybe what we're dealing with now is what we're going to have to deal with for years," said McCarty. "Maybe adjust practices and understand that five years of rain and 30 years of drought is the norm.
"I'm not a historian and I'm not a climatologist ― I'm just trying to figure this out along with everybody else," he said. "What do we prepare for? Do we change our practices to meet what is currently happening, prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
"We are looking at what can we be doing with the resources we currently have," McCarty said.
Universities are doing a lot of studies on alternative hays that are more drought tolerant, such as the forage alternative researched by NMSU called Teff grass, an annual, drought tolerant grass with origins in Ethiopia.
"The science center is going to continue to experiment with it this year," McCarty said. "We've got some interest from some of the producers at the forage workshop that want additional information on it and are going to consider it."
Drought can kill grass, but alfalfa can go into dormancy during severe drought and survive until it gets water. Grasses don't have that ability. Alfalfa also has a much deeper root system than grass, and can reach down deeper for moisture, he said.
Some farmers look to NMSU extension agents for alternative crops.
"I think we've got a lot of producers who are progressive in looking into alternative and more efficient ways of watering, looking for species that are more drought tolerant, working toward ways of conserving water to extend their growing season and so forth," McCarty said. "Cover-cropping is becoming more popular, drip irrigation systems are becoming more popular … farmers and ranchers are survivors."
Regional farmers in the New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Texas and Oklahoma area have maintained agriculture production through more than one drought period over the years, including during the Dust Bowl.
"This isn't our first drought by any means," McCarty said. "Farmers are very resilient and resourceful. They place a lot of weight on their shoulders ― they're trying to help feed a nation and a world, and they are going to find the means to do so."
Valencia County has more than 12,000 acres of planted alfalfa and is agriculturally diverse with farms raising cattle, dairy, sheep, hogs, horses, goats, chickens, emu, and crops including forages, chile, wheat, peanuts, corn silage, wine grapes, berries, apples, jujube fruit (Chinese date), honey as well as market and kitchen garden produce.
There are about 900 farms in the county and most of them are small, family farms.
The USDA defines a farm "as any place that produced and sold, or normally would have sold, $1,000 or more of agricultural products during the census year," and includes farms, ranches, nurseries and greenhouses.
Meat and dairy are New Mexico's top agricultural revenue streams, bringing a little more than $3 billion annually. The total value of agriculture production is more than $4.2 billion.
Valencia County received $83 million in agricultural revenues in 2012, $71.9 million in livestock, $9.3 million in crops, and $6.7 million from hay, according to the NMSU report.
The number of farms and ranches in New Mexico has increased to 23,800, a continuing rise since 1985, when the state only had 14,000 farms. What is new is the number of minority and young farmers has grown since 2007.
The Central New Mexico LandLink program connects aspiring young farmers with retiring farmers and other farm land owners who would like their land to continue to be farmed. Its mission is to get the next generation of local farmers onto the land with the support they need to succeed. The LandLink website is firstname.lastname@example.com, and the office phone number is 724-3619.
As far as the water outlook, the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District is looking to borrow water and get some from the federal government. The city of Albuquerque offered to give the district water, which it can pay back in the future, said Tom Thorpe, MRGCD public information officer.
This month, the ditches will be flushed to get rid of as much weed seed as possible, and at the end of March or early April irrigation begins, Thorpe said.
Some farmers are looking for alternative crops to plant that are drought tolerant. For others, with a perennial crop in the ground, it might be better to stick with what they have growing, McCarty said.
"At least you've got something in the ground. What we don't want is bare soil," he said. "A lot of rotations are, they'll plant something, they'll harvest it, plant another one, harvest it and then go into their permanent crop.
"You don't want to get in the middle of that and then have nothing planted in your soil and not have water. If you've got water you can still get something out of it, if you don't, then at least you've got some sort of cover on your ground and you haven't invested all that time and money in replanting something that you're not going to get anything out of."
There are a number of programs through the Farm Bill that assist producers with drought conditions, he said. There is a native grass program to assist producers with range management, and there are resource conservation grants to help small producers with fencing costs for rotational grazing or grant funding to help farmers install underground pipes or drip irrigation to conserve water.
Disaster programs and conservation grants are available from USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service and the USDA-Farm Service Agency. The Los Lunas USDA and NRCS can be reached at 865-4641.
The NMSU Valencia County Cooperative Extension Service offers assistance and educational programs to anyone in the county.

The Eurorack Atoner is a versatile device used for
Harmonics are extracted from an on-board oscillator or external audio signal and outputed as audio or clock pulses. The Position knob sets the cut-off frequency, under which all frequencies will be stepped downwards along a harmonic sequence (octaves, 5ths, 3rds, etc) all the way to sub-audible clicking sounds. Thus, a scale or clock signal can be generated from a single tone.
Two CV inputs and their respective +/- Vary Amount knobs modulate the Position cut-off. The mix of the two CV inputs plus the Position knob is outputted on a CV jack, and another CV output jack provides a steady +10V clock pulse that is jumper-selectable to be a clock division of the audio output (/1, /2, /32, /64, or non-linear division).
The Eurorack Atoner consumes 60mA of power and occupies 16 H. P. of space.

Before even getting into this post, I should mention that I myself use an LG phone — the Lotus, to be exact — a small, purple, square clamshell with a full keyboard that looks exactly like birth control. Gratefully, it seems to make calls pretty well, and does wonders controlling my reproductive cycle. But now I have a whole new reason to cradle my phone to sleep: LG has put out a series of ads featuring noneotherthan the King of Acting himself, Jon Lovitz James Lipton, host of Inside the Actor's Studio.
In the ads, Lipton watches over some young, unsuspecting teen, and then creepily removes his beard and places it on their face so that they may make the correct decision. And in our favorite out of the series, which you can see over at AdFreak, Lipton questions a young man's decision to send photos of his "junk." Only, "junk" is said so dramatically that merely hearing his lips utter the term filled me with pure decadent joy. That's a gift only Lipton can give, and something that makes me want to rebuy my phone all over again. And no, they didn't pay me to say that.
Ahead, a commercial where Lipton says "Pussywillow" for your fellas out there.
