A controller (210) for controlling a plurality of sequential tools (2201, 2202, . . . , 220n), such as dbx debuggers (dbx tools), operating in a parallel computing system. The controller executes each of these sequential tools on an individual node (2451, 2452, . . . , 245n) of a parallel computing system (100). The controller associates each tool with a particular process (2301, 2302, . . . , 230n) of a user program executing on a particular node. Typically, each tool accumulates specific performance characteristics of its associated process as data and transfers the data to the controller for ultimate display to a programmer. In particular, the controller in combination with various dbx tools operating on various nodes in the parallel computing environment produces a parallel program debugger (pdbx). As pdbx, the controller sends commands to particular nodes to control the operation of each dbx tool executing on that particular node. Additionally, nodes can be grouped together to permit pdbx to simultaneously send commands to a group of nodes and effectuate group control of multiple dbx tools.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to tools used in performance monitoring of computer programs and, in particular, to a controller of sequential tools used to monitor performance of computer programs that are executed in a parallel computing environment.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Computer programmers widely use software tools to monitor the performance of computer programs while a computer system executes the programs. Typically, as the computer system executes a program, such tools collect specific result data, such as specific variable values or calculation results, from specific locations in the program. One such tool is a symbolic debugger (hereinafter simply referred to as a "debugger").
Computer programmers use debuggers as tools to identify mistakes or malfunctions in a computer program. More specifically, debuggers are used to detect, locate, isolate and eliminate errors in computer programs. In essence, a debugger is a special computer program capable of controlling execution of a computer program under test (hereinafter referred to as a "user program"). While controlling execution of a particular user program, a debugger monitors the operation of the user program by collecting, as the program executes, data concerning program performance. From this data, a programmer can determine whether mistakes or malfunctions have occurred during execution of the program.
One specific type of symbolic debugger is a so-called debugger extension (dbx) (hereinafter referred to as a dbx tool). The dbx tool is widely used by programmers of computers using a UNIX operating system (UNIX is a registered trademark of UNIX System Laboratories, Inc. of Summit, N.J.). One such UNIX operating system is the Advanced Interactive Executive (AIX) operating system produced by International Business Machines Corporation of Armonk, N.Y. (AIX is a trademark of International Business Machines Corporation of Armonk, N.Y.). This specific operating system is illustrative of the many types of operating systems which operate in conjunction with the dbx tool.
Generally, the dbx tool is a symbolic, command line oriented debugging program capable of debugging programs written in C, C++, Pascal, FORTRAN, or COBOL programming languages. The dbx tool allows a user to examine both object and core files while providing a controlled environment for executing a program. To facilitate the controlled environment, the dbx tool permits the user to set breakpoints at selected statements within the program. In this manner, the dbx tool executes the program up to the breakpoint and stops. Typically, at the breakpoint, the dbx tool displays to the programmer a particular result or variable arising from execution of the program up to that point. Alternatively, the dbx tool can execute a program one line at a time and display results as each line executes. Additionally, the dbx tool debugs programs using symbolic variables to collect data as the program executes and displays the variables in their correct logical format. As such, a programmer can quickly comprehend any errors within the program.
However, the dbx tool becomes very cumbersome and, at times, impossible to utilize in a parallel environment. A parallel computing environment generally comprises a plurality of computing units connected to one another through a computer network. Each computing unit in the parallel computing environment is known as a node. When a program is executed in such an environment, various program tasks which comprise the program are executed on various individual nodes. Each task is accomplished in parallel; data from those tasks are passed, along the network, from one task to another. The dbx tool is not designed to debug a program that is executed in such a parallel computing environment. In that regard, dbx tools can only debug an individual task, i.e., a program serially executing on a single individual node. Moreover, in order for a user to be able to enter commands to the dbx tools, each individual task must be executed on a node with an attached terminal. Because each node must be debugged individually, debugging is a tedious and time consuming process when applied to parallel programs that execute on many nodes. Additionally, some nodes in a parallel computing system, known as computing machines, may be embedded within the system, i.e., without direct terminal connections, and consequently, do not allow a dbx tool to be used at all. Moreover, because the various tasks are executed in parallel and pass information among themselves, an error occurring in a task not presently being debugged may be indicated as an error in the task being debugged. As such, the source of the error may not be immediately known to the programmer. Accordingly, the programmer may waste a significant amount of time attempting to correct an error in the program task presently being debugged, when in fact the error has occurred in another node.
Thus, a need exists in the art for a controller that enables sequential tools, such as the dbx tool, to be utilized in a parallel processing environment. Additionally, the command structures used by the controller should be similar to the dbx tool to enable computer programmers familiar with the widely used dbx tool to quickly understand the new controller.
Accordingly, an object of the invention is to provide a controller that functions in a parallel computing environment such that sequential tools designed for serial execution can be used in such a parallel computing environment.
Another object of the invention is to provide a controller that is capable of controlling a sequential debugger, specifically, a dbx debugger.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a controller that uses familiar dbx tool commands to facilitate debugging programs in a parallel computing environment.
These and other objects are achieved in accordance with the present invention by a controller that controls a plurality of sequential tools. The controller executes each sequential tool on an individual node of a parallel computing system. The controller associates each tool with a particular process of a user program executing on a particular node. In this manner, a given individual sequential tool operates in a sequential manner in conjunction with a particular sequentially executed process. However, the controller controls the operation of the plurality of sequential tools individually and as a group. Typically, each tool accumulates specific performance characteristics of its associated process as data and transfers the data to the controller for ultimate display to a programmer.
Specifically, the inventive controller is intended to control a plurality of tools known as dbx debuggers or dbx tools. In essence, the controller in combination with a number of dbx tools, each operating on a respective number of nodes in a parallel computing environment, produces a parallel program debugger (pdbx). As such, pdbx controls each dbx tool operating on individual nodes of the parallel computing system. Special pdbx commands enable a programmer to control the dbx tools individually, or as a programmer defined group. These commands are similar to those presently used by dbx, therefore programmers familiar with dbx will not be unduly burdened to learn the commands for pdbx. Additionally, all the commands presently used to control dbx in a sequential environment are available for controlling the individual or grouped dbx tools in the parallel environment.
The teachings of the present invention can be readily understood by considering the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

After considering the following description, those skilled in the art will realize that the teachings of my invention can be readily utilized to control sequential computer programming tools, of many varied kinds, that collectively operate on individual nodes in a parallel computing environment, also known as a parallel computing system. In general, my invention is a technique for interfacing individual programming tools executing on individual nodes within a parallel computing environment to a single control and monitoring node. The single control and monitoring node is typically a user terminal connected to a computer network that forms the parallel environment. In this manner, my invention controls, from a single user terminal, a plurality of tool programs each individually monitoring an individual portion of a user program operating on various separate nodes of the parallel computing system. However, to simplify the following discussion and for purposes of illustration, my present invention will be discussed in the context of controlling a plurality of dbx tools.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of parallel computing system 100. The parallel computing system contains a plurality of remote computing units 1151, 1152, . . . , 115n and user terminal 155 all connected, via respective paths 1101, 1102, . . . , 110n and 111, to network 105 (n being an arbitrary integer). User terminal 155 contains central processing unit 125, memory 120, and various peripherals 130; each remote computing unit 115, contains identical elements though, as shown, possibly without peripherals 130. Typically, user terminal 155 contains specific peripherals such as monitor 160 and input devices 165, with the latter exemplified by a keyboard and/or a mouse. Illustratively, the parallel computing system utilizes file distribution software 135 operating in conjunction with AIX operating system 140, both executing within the user terminal and in each remote computing unit, to produce the parallel environment. All the software is stored in memory 120 within the user terminal and the remote computing units. The file distribution software facilitates the use of a parallel environment in which computer programs may be executed on many computers. Specifically, such file distribution software enables each CPU 125 to access any file in memory within any node, i.e., promote file sharing.
Typically, in a parallel computing environment each individual computer attached to the network is known as a remote computing unit. Within this environment, the individual remote computing units share files and programs which are designed to execute in a parallel computing system. Through the parallel computing environment, these files and programs are distributed amongst all the remote computing units. Upon execution of a particular parallel program, each remote computing unit executes a portion of that parallel program. In this manner, those remote computing units presently executing the parallel program become nodes of the parallel computing environment. Each node will execute and complete a specific task. The results of that task are shared with the other tasks currently executing on various other nodes.
More specifically, remote computing units 1151, 1152, . . . , 115n and user terminal 155 connect in a parallel fashion to network 105. Network 105 forms a backbone of the parallel computing environment. The user terminal forms an interface between the network and the programmer. Through the user terminal the programmer may execute a specific parallel program (illustratively user program 145) on the parallel computing system. In addition, a programmer, through user terminal 155, enters any necessary commands and executes, as necessary, various programming tools 170.
My invention, hereinafter controller 150, is stored in memory 120 within user terminal 155. A programmer executes controller 150 on user terminal 155 to control a plurality of individual tool programs 170. Each tool program 170 is executed on individual remote computing units 1151, 1152, . . . , 115n. Illustratively, each individual tool program is, for example, a serial program debugger known in the art as dbx, i.e., a dbx tool. When my inventive controller is used to control a plurality of the dbx tools, it is known as a parallel-dbx (pdbx) debugger, or simply as pdbx.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram depicting the logical interaction between pdbx server process 210 (executed pdbx), dbx tools 2201, 2202, . . . , 220n, corresponding client processes 2301, 2302, . . . , 230n (individually executed user program tasks) and parallel environment 240. Each node 2451, 2452, . . . , 245n contains an individual dbx tool and an associated client process connected to one another by paths 2251, 2252, . . . , 225n. All of the nodes interact, via paths 2351, 2352, . . . , 235n with parallel environment 240 to permit sharing of files and information to facilitate parallel processing of the individual client processes. The pdbx server process controls, via paths 2151, 2152, . . . , 215n, the operation of the dbx tools by issuing commands formatted in a manner that is understandable to each dbx tool 220. As such, the dbx tool 220, in turn, controls the operation of each client process 230. The manner in which the dbx tool controls a client process 230 is well known in the art, and therefore will not be discussed in detail. As a result of the pdbx server process 210 connection to each dbx tool, a programmer can control, by entering commands into user terminal 155, each dbx tool either individually or as a group. Thus, a programmer, through a single user terminal, may accomplish program debugging of a single client process, a subset of all the client processes or all the client processes at once.
When instructed by a programmer, the pdbx server process issues dbx tool commands to each node such that the dbx tool executing within each node is controlled individually. In response to the commands, the dbx tool sends answers, typically data or an acknowledgment that the command was accomplished, to the pdbx server process. The pdbx server process displays these answers on the monitor attached to user terminal 155. For example, a programmer may wish client process 2202 to step to a next line of code and execute that line of code. To do so, the programmer sends an instruction from user terminal 155, along path 205, to pdbx server process 210 instructing the pdbx server process to accomplish the desired operation. In response, the pdbx server sends a "step" command to dbx tool 2202. In response to this command, dbx tool 2202 will cause client process 2302 to step to and execute the next line of code in the user program. Importantly, none of the other client processes are effected by this operation.
Both the pdbx server and the dbx tools respond to, and answer in, a data stream format that is known in the art as standard input/output (stdio). The data streams that comprise stdio are known as standard input (stdin), standard output (stdout) and standard error (stderr). The specific characteristics of these data streams are irrelevant to the understanding of my invention and form no part thereof.
FIG. 3 is a high level flow chart depicting the operation of my inventive controller. In general, the controller, in the form of a pdbx routine 320, is executed partially on the user terminal as a pdbx server process and partially on each of a plurality of nodes in a parallel computing system as a client call process. The connection between each client process and each dbx tool is established using a command in the pdbx routine before the beginning of the user program (unexecuted client process). The command is known as a "client" call. In response to a "client" call, a client call routine (process) blocks the user program from executing while the client call routine executes and attaches a dbx tool to the user program. Subsequently, the block is removed and the user program executes under the control of the dbx tool. Additionally, "client" calls are issued on other nodes such that dbx tools are executed on other nodes within the parallel computing environment as needed, i.e., whenever a user program is about to be executed on another node to perform a particular task. After the dbx tool attaches to the user program, commands from the user terminal to the pdbx server are passed to the dbx tool to control and monitor the execution of the user program. All responses from the client process (executed user program) are passed, via the dbx tool, to the pdbx server process for display at a user terminal. Consequently, the pdbx server process controls all of the individually executed dbx tools. In this manner, the dbx tool, a serial debugger, is adapted to operate in a parallel environment.
Specifically, at step 300, the user terminal waits in a loop until a programmer executes a parallel user program. When the user executes a parallel user program, the user terminal automatically initializes the parallel computing environment. During initialization, various tasks (client processes) to be performed by the user program are assigned to a number of nodes in a parallel computing system. Each client process is assigned a unique node number upon which that process is to be executed. Illustrative individual nodes are shown in blocks 310. To clearly differentiate the node to which the user terminal is connected from the other nodes, that node is labeled NODE: USER TERMINAL. The remaining nodes are successively labeled with a unique integer value, such as 1, 2, 3, 4 up to n.
For simplicity, FIG. 3 depicts steps of routine 320 for the user terminal node and for node 2 only. However, the other nodes, specifically 1, 3, 4, up to n, execute the same routine steps as depicted for node 2.
After the parallel computing system is established and prior to executing the parallel user program, a number of process steps are performed to execute and attach individual dbx tools to each client process on each node. These process steps are shown as pdbx routine 320. Additionally, the pdbx routine executes the pdbx server process on the user terminal node.
To facilitate executing a dbx tool and attaching it to a client process, at step 325, the parallel environment issues a "client" call in each node, e.g., 1, 2, 3 and so on up to n. The "client" call executes client call routine 335 which issues, at step 330, a "fork" system call. As is well known in the art, a "fork" system call creates an image (duplicate) of the presently executing process. The process which issued the "fork" system call is known as a parent process and the image is known as a child process. At a point in the child process just before the user program is about to be executed, the child process executes, at step 332, a dbx tool and attaches the dbx tool to the parent process. Simultaneously, the parent process blocks, at step 331, the execution of the user program until the dbx tool is attached to the parent process by the child process. Specifically, the pseudo-code for client call routine 335 is as follows:
______________________________________pdbx-- client if (pid=fork( )!=0) {/* I'm the parent process */suspend /* wait until dbx attaches */ } else {/* I'm the child */establish socket connection to a well-known socket (wks)redirect stdio through socket using dupexec(dbx) attaching the dbx tool to parent }}______________________________________
In operation, the client call routine first issues a "fork" system call to the operating system, e.g., the term "fork" in the if statement. Upon completion of the "fork" system call, the operating system returns two process identification numbers (pid); the pid for the child process is "0" and the parent process pid is an integer value. The client call routine performs a different operation for each respective pid. Consequently, if the pid is not equal to "0", i.e., represented in the pseudo-code as pid?=0, the process is the parent process and the routine suspends execution of that process. In this manner, the user program is not executed, i.e., the user program is blocked until the dbx tool attaches to the parent process.
Alternatively, if the pid is "0", the process is the child process and the routine establishes a socket at a specific address. In general, a socket is a communication portal to a specific process. In this instance, the specific process is a pdbx server process discussed in detail below. Sockets and their use for establishing communications paths between processes are well known in the art, thus a detailed discussion of sockets is not necessary to understand my invention. Illustratively, the socket having a specific address is hereinafter referred to as a "well known socket (wks)". As is discussed below, the wks is used for making all socket connections to the server process.
Subsequent to establishing a connection to the wks, the client call routine redirects all the stdio data for this node to the wks using the well known "dup" command. In this manner, all input and output data transferred between this node and the pdbx server process initially must pass through the wks. Finally, the client call routine issues an exec system call to execute a dbx tool in node 2. The dbx tool thus connects to the parent process. In this manner, the dbx tool controls any program executed by the parent process, e.g., a client process. Additionally, a communication pathway, via wks, between the dbx tool and the pdbx server process is symbolized by path 375.
When the "client" call is issued, pdbx routine 320 simultaneously executes, at step 350, pdbx server process main routine 345 (hereinafter referred to as "main routine 345"). Once executed, the main routine monitors, at step 355, a socket connecting to the input devices of the user terminal (stdin), the wks, and other sockets. The main routine uses a "select" system call to monitor the various sockets and select a socket that becomes active. Consequently, whenever activity is sensed on any of these sockets, the main routine performs, at steps 360, 365 and 370, three respective functions including (1) handling new client processes as they are executed, (2) interpreting commands from an input device, (3) processing answers from each dbx tool as the dbx tools return information requested by a programmer. Pseudo-code for main routine 345 appears below.
______________________________________main( ) Parse command line options Initialize data structures Set up and post wks Process commands file fdset={stdin, wks} /* wait until one member of fdset isready for io*/ who=select(fdset) if (who==wks)new-- process( ); /* user entered a command*/ else if (who==stdin) {command=read(stdin);interp(command); } /* input received from a socket connection */ else {answer=read(who);print(who: answer); }}______________________________________
With reference to the above pseudo-code, the parse command line options function executes a number of initialization commands. These commands are typically pre-set by the user to instruct the pdbx server process to accomplish certain operations before allowing any user program to execute. They are typically user defined as a convenient method of customizing pdbx. The nature of these commands and their associated operations are unimportant to the operation of my invention; hence, they will not be specifically discussed.
The initialize data structures function initializes the data structures that are associated with the main routine. Some of the data structures that are initialized at this point are: groups, active list, aliases and the like. These data structures are discussed in detail below. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that initializing data structures is a common component of most any program and does not warrant further discussion.
The set up and post wks function creates a socket in a manner that is well known to those skilled in the art. The main routine ensures that the specific address of that socket is well known to the parallel computing system. In this manner, any new client process and dbx tool in the parallel environment will access this socket address to connect to the pdbx server process. Consequently, each new client process executed in the parallel computing system can interact with the pdbx server process and be debugged by a dbx tool. Immediately after a dbx tool connects to wks, the socket connection is moved to another socket address. This permits other processes to access wks as necessary. The details of the wks connection and the subsequent moving of that connection are discussed below in more detail.
The process commands file function executes certain user defined initialization file(s) used to initialize individual dbx tools. These files typically contain commands that enable a user to customize the environment in which dbx operates. The specific nature of these commands is defined by each individual user and is unimportant to understanding my invention.
The fdset=(stdin, wks) program line establishes an active list of file descriptors, hereinafter referred to as the active list. At this point, the active list contains a standard input descriptor (stdin) and a wks descriptor. Thus, the pdbx server process only expects activity from stdin, input commands from the user terminal input devices, and from wks, whenever a new process connects to that socket. The use and expansion of the active list is discussed below.
The select function, performed by a "select" system call, establishes an input/output (I/0) multiplexing scheme having the active list of file descriptors as the object of the function. In this manner, the main routine will wait until one of the file descriptors in the active list, currently stdin and wks, develops a pending input or output, e.g., a user types a command on the keyboard or the wks becomes active. If, for example, the wks becomes active due to a new connection by a process, "who" will equal the wks descriptor and the main routine executes new-- process() routine 360 (discussed below). Alternatively, if stdin becomes active due to a command being entered from the keyboard (or other input device), "who" will equal the stdin descriptor. In response, the main routine reads the command from the keyboard and execute interp routine 365 (discussed below). However, if the activity is not from either stdin or wks, then the activity must be an answer from a dbx tool previously requested to accomplish an operation. In this instance, known as print(answer) routine 370, the main routine reads which task is returning an answer, i.e., reads the node (task) number, and prints, on the computer screen, the node number along with the answer.
When a new node, i.e., a dbx tool and a client process, connects to the wks, the socket connection must be moved as quickly as possible to another address location because there is a finite limit to the number of connections that can be pending in queue for wks access. Quick relocation of the socket minimizes the chance of another node being refused access to the wks because of an excessive queue. The routine, known as new-- process routine 360, which accomplishes the socket transfer is summarized in the following pseudo-code.
______________________________________new-- process( ) create new socket copy connection info from wks to new socket add new node number to active list add new node to "all" group fdset=fdset union with { new socket } send appropriate breakpoints/traces to thenew node}______________________________________
The foregoing new-- process routine creates a new socket at a new address location and copies the connection information from the wks to the new socket. In this manner, the wks is free to accept connections from another node. The node number of the new node is added to the active list such that the main routine will respond to any activity from the new node. The new node number is also added to the "all" group. The reason for doing so will become evident when node grouping is discussed below. The new-- process routine redefines the list of active file descriptors, fdset, to include the socket connected to the new node. Additionally, breakpoints are sent to the new node to ensure that the parallel computing environment has executed all the software on that node up to a point just before the user program is to begin executing. In this manner, the dbx tool attaches to the user program (client process) at an appropriate starting point. These breakpoints, as well as all breakpoints, are monitored and stored within pdbx such that a global list of all breakpoints in all presently active nodes is compiled. In this manner, when a new node is added, the breakpoints used in client processes on other nodes can be sent to the dbx tool associated with the client process on the new node. Thus, if a programmer so desires, all the client processes can be controlled to stop at the same point in the user program.
Once a node has been added to the active list, the dbx tool, which is controlling the client process therein, can be sent commands from the keyboard. However, both commands for the dbx tool and commands for pdbx server process are entered through the same keyboard. Therefore, interp routine 365 is used to separate the commands such that pdbx commands are executed within the user terminal and the dbx tool commands are sent to an appropriate dbx tool. As such, the interp routine accomplishes the interpretation of any command from the keyboard. The main routine initiates interp routine 365 whenever the main routine senses activity from stdin. The following is a pseudo-code representation of interp routine 365.
______________________________________interp(command) switch(command)case "on" : change contextcase "group add" : create new groupcase "group list" : show groupscase "group delete" : delete groupcase "unhook" : release process(es)case "hook" : re-attach process(es)case "stop/trace" : add to breakpoint listotherwise:send command to all processes in current context (the dbx tool command)}______________________________________
The pseudo-code above searches a command entered from the keyboard for a match to one of the seven illustrative pdbx commands. These seven pdbx commands are meant to be illustrative of the types of commands that are useful to control pdbx and in no way should be construed to limit the number of possible commands available to a user. If a match is not found, the command is assumed to be a dbx tool command. In that case, the routine sends the command to the appropriate node running the dbx tool. How the appropriate node, i.e., a node that is in context, is known is discussed below as each pdbx command is discussed.
The "on" command produces what can be thought of as a pointer to a particular node or group of nodes. For instance, nodes are designated by a unique integer value and the "on" command points to a particular node by using "on n", where "n" is an integer value designation of a particular node. A node that is presently pointed at is known as being "in context".
The "on" command can be used to send the dbx tool commands to a particular node without changing the node presently in context, i.e., producing a temporary change of context. For example, if the present context is 2, and the command "on 4 print task.id" is entered, the task id from node 4 would be returned to the user terminal and printed. However, the context remains as node 2. In this manner, only a single operation is accomplished by the dbx tool at node 4. Any subsequent dbx tool command is sent to node 2, unless, of course, the context is altered.
However, if a user follows an "on" command with a dbx tool command on a line by itself, such as "print task.id", the interp routine changes the context to that of the previous "on" command and then passes the dbx tool command to the node indicated in that previous "on" command. In response, pdbx prints, to the screen of the monitor, the task.id for the node presently in context. Consequently, the context is that of the last (previous) "on" command.
The "group add" command provides a very important feature of the invention. The "group add" command allows a specific group of nodes to be created from individual nodes. For example, if a user enters the command "group add slaves 1 2 3", the pdbx server process produces a group named "slaves" that contains nodes "1, 2 and 3". Subsequently, that group can be treated as an individual node. For example, the command "on slaves" generates a context including nodes 1, 2 and 3 as a group. Thus, a subsequently entered dbx tool command is sent to all three nodes, and a response will return from all three nodes. In addition to user definable groups, the pdbx server process maintains a group, namely "all", that contains the node numbers of all the active nodes. The default group can be used to send dbx tool commands simultaneously to all of the presently executed dbx tools.
The command "group list" produces a list of all the presently established groups and their members. This command enables a user to list all the previously created groups.
The "group delete" command enables a user to delete a presently established group. For example, the command "group delete slaves" would delete the aforementioned "slaves" group.
The "unhook" command detaches a particular client process running on a particular node or group of client processes running on a group of nodes from a respective dbx tool(s). Conversely, the "hook" command reattaches a previously detached client process to its respective dbx tool. These commands are particularly useful in debugging routines which operate in a master-slave relationship, in particular, routines having a single master routine and a number of slave routines. For instance, initially, the dbx tools may be attached to all the processes, e.g., the master and all the slaves. Thus allowing each process to be stepped through its respective code line by line using the "on" pdbx command and the "step" dbx tool command. However, stepping through the various programs individually is a tedious process. To facilitate a quick debugging procedure, a user can detach the slave processes from their respective dbx tools using the "unhook" command, e.g., "unhook 2 3 4". The dbx tool attached to the master process can then be stepped through the master routine line by line. As each slave process is called from the master process and executed, the entire slave process will run, complete and return its result to the master process. Then, the master process can be stepped to the next line of code using the "step" dbx tool command. If, however, a particular slave process returns an errant result to the master process, a programmer can point, using the "on" command, to the particular node on which that slave process executes and reattach, using the "hook" command, its associated dbx tool. In this manner, the software can be executed and both the master process, and the slave process that generated an errant result, can be stepwise executed. This procedure significantly increases the speed at which master and slave processes are debugged over debugging each individual process separately.
The "stop/trace" command is in reality two separate dbx tool commands, e.g., "stop" and "trace", which, in addition to producing a dbx function, also cause pdbx to accomplish an operation. Specifically, a "stop" command establishes a breakpoint in the client process at a specific line. For example, "on 5 stop 200" would cause the client process on node 5 to execute to line 200 and stop. Furthermore, a trace command causes dbx to indicate every time a client process executes a specific line of code. For example, "on 5 trace 500" would cause the dbx tool to report to the pdbx server process every time the client process on node 5 executes line 500 of its code. Whenever either of these dbx tool commands are used, the pdbx server process stores in a global list of all the active processes, the line numbers associated with each stop and trace command. In this manner, when a new node is added to the active list, a user can send the presently used stop and trace line numbers to the new client process within that new node. Thus, the new client process will stop and also trace in the same manner as the client processes presently executing on other nodes.
Interp routine 365 sends, via path 375, all other commands not matching those discussed above to the dbx tool(s) currently in context. The dbx tool processes the command, accomplishes the function required by the command and returns the result, via path 375, to the pdbx server process. The manner in which a dbx tool operates and the commands used to control that operation are well known in the art. Further details concerning the operation of dbx tool debuggers are not necessary to understanding the operation of my invention. However, for further details concerning dbx tool operation, the reader should consult the "IBM AIX Version 3 for RISC System/6000 Commands Reference", Volume 1, pages 512-573 (�1990, International Business Machines Corporation.
The foregoing description has been focused upon apparatus and methods for enabling a well-known serial debugger such as dbx to be used in a parallel computing environment. However, the inventive concept which enables the serial debugger to be used in a parallel environment can be applied to any serial tool that provides a command line interface. As such, during establishment of the parallel environment, any such serial tool can be used by issuing an "exec" command to a desired tool, rather than to the dbx tool. In this manner, a serial tool will be executed on each node of the parallel computing system. All the pdbx commands discussed above will apply to any such tool operating in this environment. In other words, the "on" command is used as a pointer to enter commands to a particular tool, the "hook and "unhook" commands are used to detach and re-attach the tool(s) to a particular process(es), "group" is used to group nodes so that commands can be sent to more than one node at a time, and so on.
Alternatively, the controller can be used to execute other programs, such as "shell" programs, in a controlled manner on individual nodes within a parallel computing environment. Generally, UNIX shell programs form interfaces between a UNIX operating system and a user terminal. By using my controller to execute shell programs on embedded nodes that normally do not have terminal connections, my controller enables terminal inputs to be passed from the keyboard through my controller to any node presently in context. Thus, a connection can be made to a terminal no matter where a particular node is located within a parallel computing system.
Although a single embodiment which incorporates the teachings of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, those skilled in the art can readily devise many other varied embodiments that still incorporate these teachings.

Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor has become the subject of a new school and NCAA investigation into him receiving cars and extra benefits, The Columbus Dispatch reported Monday.
This investigation is separate from the one involving former Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel, who resigned Monday morning.
Citing anonymous sources, the newspaper reported Pryor has been linked to at least six vehicles since he arrived in Columbus in the summer of 2008. The rising senior has been interviewed at least once by investigators in the last few weeks, the newspaper reported.
Pryor could not be reached for contact by The Dispatch. School spokesman Jim Lynch did not confirm the details about Pryor in the report.
"The university continues to work with the NCAA as they investigate matters involving our football program," Lynch told the newspaper. "We will continue to do so until the conclusion of the investigation. We are unable to comment on specific players' situations because of federal law."

NCAA officials also are looking into Pryor's relationship with Ted Sarniak, a Pennsylvania businessman who has served as a mentor for Pryor since his high school days. Sarniak received forwarded emails from Tressel last year regarding Pryor selling memorabilia and Buckeyes gear to the owner of a local tattoo parlor.
In January, The Dispatch reported that Pryor was stopped three times for traffic violations while driving a car owned by a Columbus car salesman or a used car-dealer.
The salesman, Aaron Kniffin, told the newspaper that Pryor was allowed to drive an SUV to Pennsylvania to show his mother. Kniffin said he also arranged for Pryor to use a loaner while the quarterback's car was being fixed at Auto Direct, a Columbus dealership.

The Dispatch reported that about 24 autographed Buckeyes jerseys, including Pryor's, hung inside the dealership.
Last week, Kniffin told Sporting News' Matt Hayes that he had spoken often with Ohio State compliance director Doug Archie. Archie said in an earlier published report that he and Kniffin had spoken only once.

High Protein Pumpkin Pancakes – (Video)
I love pancakes but very rarely eat traditional pancakes anymore.
They just don't do it for me.
I think it's the combination of the flour and the syrup that leave me feeling pretty lethargic and low energy shortly after eating them PLUS they don't keep me full for very long which is exactly why I am such a big fan of these Protein Pancakes.
This recipe may look familiar to you guys and that's because it's simply a fall version of my Blueberry Protein Pancakes (inspired by the Bill Phillips pancake recipe).
These pancakes are made with rolled oats, egg whites, and cottage cheese so they are more balanced than a traditional pancake in the sense that it's not sugar overload. As a matter of fact, I usually top them with coconut butter or almond butter so I can really avoid going down the 'sugar-roller-coaster-rabbit-hole'.
In a nutshell, I find that the higher protein pancake leaves me feeling lighter and more energetic than a traditional pancake and they certainly delivers in the flavor department as well (I can assure you of that because not only do my husband and I love them but both of my little ones gobble them up as well!).
If you want to SEE how to make them, check out the video and let me know what you think;).
In the meantime, I"m curious… do you eat traditional pancakes? Do they work for you? Have you tried protein pancakes? And/or do you have a higher protein recipe you can share with me??
High Protein Pumpkin Pancakes
Yield: 2 servings
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¾ egg whites (about 6)
- ½ cup Cottage cheese
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp. maple syrup
- 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
Pop everything into the blender and blend until you have a pancake-like batter.
Heat a nonstick skillet over a medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with coconut oil or cooking spray and drop ¼ cup rounds of batter onto the pan. Cook until edges are bubbling and then flip and cook another two minutes or until edges are golden brown and pancakes are cooked though.
Makes 2 servings.

Wondering if there is any substitute for the cottage cheese in the Protein Pumpkin Pancakes?
Looks great. I think I will try to use greek yogurt instead of the cottage cheese.
Is it supposed to be pumpkin spice for the last ingredient?
Just checking, is the additional 1 tsp. pumpkin puree actually supposed to be pumpkin pie spice?
Love this recipe. I haven't had breakfast yet and now I know what I'm eating. I have used just the oats, cottage cheese, egg whites, vanilla and baking powder recipe for a few years now and love it. I think this will be a nice change. Thanks for posting and all the tips. I really need to have these on hand. My other recipe is a single serving recipe and takes so long to make each morning. I will definitely use your tips on freezing these.
I hate to waste all of those egg yolks. Any idea how it would work with using the full egg or half eggs and half whites?
Absolutely – for every 2 egg white use one egg. Whole eggs would be perfectly delicious in this recipe.
Hi, I'm wondering if the batter could be made ahead of time and frozen, maybe thawed over night and cooked up quickly in the morning? Or am I asking too much of my pancakes?
Great video. Your directions are so clear and I love the accessibility of this breakfast staple…healthy AND delicious…win all the way!
I also make my pancakes with oats, eggs and cottage cheese! So much easier, and so much more filling than "regular" pancakes – and yet they taste just the same
I have been making protein pancakes for years and they are a staple in my fridge, always have them on hand.. My recipe is pretty close except I add either a ripe banana or mashed sweet potato and a little agave. I always use the cartons of all egg whites (trader Joes has cartons of cage free egg whites)the cottage cheese makes them so moist and you can just grab and go for a quick snack.. But my favorite is peanut butter and raspberry jam on a pancake. I believe I first saw the recipe right here on your blog years ago and have been tweeking it since..
Very interesting reciepe! Will try use cottage cheese and canned pumpkin, which never used before – always fresh raw graded one, which cooks fast and wonderfully tasty I recently switched to GF food and make pumpkin pancakes with Bob's Red Mill GF all purpose flour which is made out of couple different beans ( which are very good source of protein as well )and I use my own raw milk kefir . I don't trust canned products and cottage cheese has a long list of ingridients on label even though I like the taste of it . I am from Russia originaly where pumpkins grow for food and we use it in many dishes ( never had canned ones in stores ).I also like for the change pumpkin with graded apples in pancakes. Try and you would love it ! No sugar requierd though for the butter since pumpkin and apples sweet enough if used raw. Bon appetite!
Could whey protein be added ?
Hey Dani! I tried making these this morning and I doubled the recipe. They came out mushy in the middle and I cooked them long enough. Could this be because of the cottage cheese? Thanks!
Thank you so very much for this recipe. My son is a body builder and he LOVES this recipe. I enjoyed it as well. I made 10 pancakes with the recipe. Each pancake is only 1 point on weighwatchers!
If I don't eat dairy, can I leave out the cottage cheese? I just want to make sure they will come out right because they look so delicious!
I just finished making these and they are super tasty!
The only thing I would do different next time is to spread out the little blob of batter on the pan so the pancake is a little thinner. I found the one I made that was kind of big and thick was a bit doughy but the two small ones I made were wonderful.
I highly recommend!
Is there a substitute for egg yolk?
Hi We loved the pancakes. In your video you mentioned that you had some recipes to use up the left over egg yolks. Where can I find these on your site?
hi, i was wondering
how many pancakes will this recipe make. you said two servings but how many are in one? i want to make them about the same size as yours. thank you
Delicious! I used low fat cottage cheese and light maple syrup.
Dear Dani,
Made these today. I used whole eggs (3) as I haven't found the eggwhites yet here in the Netherlands. I used sweet potato instead of pumpkin puree and cinnamon instead of the spices. DELICIOUS!
I will make these more often for sure. I think the hubby will like them too.
These are so good! I use 3 whole eggs instead of 6 egg whites though because the egg white version sticks too much to my pan.

His 31 create a buzz, but Warren happy with the 13
Most players would be ecstatic to score 31 points in a game, much less as a college freshman in the nation's top conference against a team renowned for defense.
N.C. State's T.J. Warren was indeed beaming amid beads of sweat as he explained his 31 points in an 84-66 ACC thumping of Florida State Tuesday night. But he was much happier about his 13 rebounds.
"Coach had stressed on me that I needed to start rebounding, and just crash the glass every possession," Warren said of head coach Mark Gottfried. "That's what I wanted to do tonight."
Warren's eight boards on the offensive glass led to nine of his points. In just his third start in 13 league games and fifth start of the season, Warren delivered a 12-for-15 shooting performance from the floor, including 2-for-2 from 3-point range, and made all five foul shots in 31 minutes.
"Our chemistry is coming together," Warren said. "Everybody is playing hard and playing together, playing well."
The Wolfpack (19-7, 8-5 ACC) won its third straight with C.J. Leslie adding 19 points and 10 rebounds, Scott Wood 13 points, Lorenzo Brown nine assists and Richard Howell eight points and seven rebounds.
"It all started on defense," Warren said. "If we stop them and get the ball, we should be in good position. There is no reason we shouldn't score on every possession with the type of team we have with Scott hitting 3s, C.J.'s athleticism, Zo driving and Rich knocking down shots."
Warren's 31 points were the third-most by a freshman in the Wolfpack's storied history, just four shy of Ernie Myers' 1983 record.
"We all know he can score," Wood said. "He's a real good player. We know he's capable."
Warren said the Wolfpack knew the Seminoles (14-12, 6-7 ACC) liked to gamble on N.C. State offensive sets.
"So coach stressed hitting them on the backdoor," Warren said.
And the Wolfpack repeatedly did.
The Seminoles have made their mark with one of the nation's best defenses in going to the last four NCAA tournaments. But Florida State had no stops when it needed them, never getting closer than 10 in the second half.
"We just wanted to stay aggressive on defense, get them out of their comfort zone," Warren said. "They like to drive, so we wanted to push them far out and make them jump shooters. We did a good job of that tonight, just trying to get them out of the paint."

6106 nVidia Driver Doesn't Work But Stock nv Driver Does
2 Attachment(s)
I recently upgraded to the nVidia 6106 video driver from version 5336. There were no changes made to the xorg.conf file; however, now that I'm using the 6106 driver I get the following error message:
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
Fatal server error:
no screens found
If I edit the xorg.conf file and switch to the stock nv driver, then startx everything comes up without a problem.
The attached Xorg.0.log.txt file was renamed from Xorg.0.log so I could upload it.
I've attached a copy of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (attached as xorg.conf.txt). Line number 196 (the one with the "nv" driver) is uncommented. When using this file, X starts without a problem. When I comment line number 196 and uncomment line number 197 (the one with the "nvidia" driver) X fails to start with the above error.

I'm running version 6.7.0-r1 of the X-org X11 (not XFree86).
Re: 6106 nVidia Driver Doesn't Work But Stock nv Driver Does
Just to note ... in this problem seems to have gone away with the 6111 driver. I'm able to use the nVidia drivers again. Now I just have to isolate the resolution to the flicker problem.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Overview Hobbes are about half the size of a man, bald, with skin rangeing from grey to red to black. They appear to reproduce parasitically by kidnapping children and turning them into hobbes. They appear in mobs of three to around sevenish. IT is also note worthy that in Fable 2 during the Brightwood Tower quest, Chesty the psychotic magical chest mentions that hobbes are "...children whos souls have been taken by dark nymphs." suggesting that hobbes do not in fact reproduce they are just by products of nymphs stealing childrens souls.In Fable Hobbes tend to be found in wilderness and cave areas (specifically the greatwood and darkwood areas and hobbe cave in fable 1, and in fable 2 they are simply found in the hobbe cave in rookridge and in the woods (seemingly at random loations). In fable 1 Hobbes weilded both axes and some hobbes used magic (a shadow ball attack), attacking in large packs making up for their weakness. In fable 2, more different types of Hobbes appeared, some using guns, more mages, suicide bomber hobbes, some even using stiltlike contraptions to give themselves a height advantage. Also in some areas hobbes appear to be social and organized enough to use guerrilla tactics, camouflaging themselves by hiding in bushes or barrels and attacking the player as he/she walks by.

Full detailed profile on Brot Monroe Played by J.R. Martinez on All My Children Daytime Soap Opera.
J.R. Martinez
Real Name: J.R. Martinez
Randi and Frankie want to celebrate Natalia and Brot's engagement at Krystal's, but the happy couple don't want to go overboard when Jesse and Angie lost their babies and Angie still can't see. Jesse shows up and tells the group the wedding should be held at the house, because Angie got her sight back.
When Jesse returns home, Angie tells him that after seeing the pain in his face today, she realized how selfish she's been by not letting them grieve together. All she could do is think of herself, but she now sees that it was his love that made all the decision he made. She thanks him for that. As they kiss and get cozy on the couch, Maya stops by with Lucy. Angie is overjoyed to actually see the both of them. Angie holds Lucy as Maya indicates that things aren't great with Liza, so Angie invites them to come back. Frankie, Randi, Brot and Natalia enter and Angie cries as she hugs each one of them. Natalia asks Angie to help her pick out wedding invitations and Brot hands them a bottle of champagne to continue the celebration. They toast to their family, which is filled with love.
Liza visits David at the police department. He assumes she's there as his lawyer, but she declares she's not taking his case. David is taken aback because she's always been there for him, but she tells him she's not that person anymore. She's not giving up on him though. She'll root for him on the sidelines that he'll actually learn something. Dixie and Tad show up as Liza leaves. Dixie pointblank asks if David has Babe. He thinks they are jumping to conclusions. Besides, he doesn't owe them anything. Dixie is grateful for him saving her life and urges him to help save another one: JR. David is unfazed by hearing of JR's problems. Besides, he wouldn't save his daughter just to let JR destroy her again. Tad appeals to him on Babe and Krystal's behalf. David and Tad exchange heated words and Brot enters to tell Dixie and Tad to leave.
Natalia surprises Brot at the station. She wonders what he's working on so late. He responds, "My resignation letter." She can't understand why he would want to do this, but knows something has been bothering him for awhile. He says he can't keep lying. He can't be a cop anymore because he can't pretend he's on the right side of the law. Brot confesses his involvement in Jesse switching babies. He doesn't care about his job. He just wants to make it right. He says this isn't the first time he's made a bad call that cost people. In Iraq, he switched shifts with someone but his friend died during his shift. He wonders why it had to be his friend, who had a family, and not him. Natalia assures him it wasn't his fault. Natalia is grateful Brot was there for Jesse so he didn't have to grieve for Ellie alone. He asks if any of this will make her stop loving him. She tells him she could never stop loving him. They head home where they make love.
Zach and Ryan are hauled into the police station, as Brot tries to keep the peace between them.
Jesse and David stand over Angie in her hospital room as she wakes up. Angie is told the new cells were implanted, now all they have to do is wait. Frankie joins them as David explains how her eyesight should come back slowly. Jesse gets a call from Brot, who says he just pulled Ryan over for reckless driving while Zach was holding a gun on him after finding him breaking into David's lab.
David shows up at the station after learning about Ryan breaking into his lab. He angrily tells Zach he can't be rocking the boat right now. Besides, that lab is empty anyway. Zach counters that Ryan can't see what's really in there so David needs to press charges to stall him while he cleans it up. David anxiously wonders what Zach did. Zach responds that he's just making sure David can finish his work. David worries about Ryan, but Zach says he will take care of him, whatever it takes. Zach declares his loyalty to David and asks if he trusts him. David appreciates his devotion, but Zach's beef with Ryan is making things more difficult in regards to his other patients. He doesn't want their recovery rushed so he asks Zach to take it down a notch. David asks what he did to Griffin. Zach just says, "Trust," and then asks who else David has stashed away. David tells him there are two people in recovery who are almost ready to be revealed. He pleads with Zach not to screw it up.
At the police station, Brot gives Jesse a coffee who admits he told Angie the truth. Angie wants to tell Maya. He could lose everything. Brot offers to cover his story. Jesse won't hear of it.
Jesse meets a nervous Brot at confusion. Brot wants Jesse's blessing to marry Natalia. Jesse is happy to welcome Brot to the family. Jesse thanks him for everything. He knows it hasn't been easy, but it looks like their secret will stay a secret. Jesse leaves and Natalia arrives. Brot tells his lady that his life hasn't been the same since he first laid eyes on her. Every day with her in it is better. He asks her to marry him and she excitedly says yes. As they celebrate, Tad arrives. Brot shares the good news and Tad congratulates them. He asks for a minute alone with Brot. Natalia leaves the area and Tad asks him about a baby left in a squad car. Brot stutters a bit, but says he doesn't know anything.
Bianca and Marissa confront JR at Krystal's about him driving drunk in Bianca's car. Marissa rails at him about how AJ doesn't even want to see him. JR thinks Marissa is just filling their son's head with lies. He tells Bianca and Marissa to go off and do what "you people do." Marissa reveals she's gotten a restraining order. Until he goes to rehab and proves he is a responsible parent, she has full custody of AJ. JR becomes enraged and tells the women to get out of his sight. Across the restaurant, Jesse vents to Brot about David letting Angie down. Brot thinks Angie can deal with whatever happens, but Jesse worries about her finding out about Lucy as well. Mookie walks in, which only intensifies Jesse's concerns. Jesse knows it will end badly and declares he needs to tell Angie the truth. Brot doesn't think it's a good idea. Mookie approaches JR after the women have left and quits his job working on the house. JR doesn't care. Mookie doesn't appreciate the way JR is talking to him. He calls him a drunk ass. JR flips his table over and punches him in the stomach. Jesse and Brot intervene. Jesse notes JR is drunk and offers to take him home to sleep it off. JR pushes Jesse, who tells Brot to cuff him for assaulting a police officer.

Two gay asylum seekers from Iran and Cameroon have won their fight against deportation after the Supreme Court ruled that they have the right to asylum in the UK.
The Home Office told the pair they could avoid persecution in their home countries, where homosexuality is still illegal, if they were "discreet" about their sexual orientation.
This argument did not find favour with the court, however. Lord Hope said: "To compel a homosexual person to pretend that his sexuality does not exist or suppress the behaviour by which to manifest itself is to deny him the fundamental right to be who he is."
New Home Secretary Teresa May welcomed the ruling:
"We have already promised to stop the removal of asylum seekers who have had to leave particular countries because their sexual orientation or gender identification puts them at proven risk of imprisonment, torture or execution.
"I do not believe it is acceptable to send people home and expect them to hide their sexuality to avoid persecution. From today asylum decisions will be considered under the new rules and the judgment gives an immediate legal basis for us to reframe our guidance for assessing claims based on sexuality, taking into account relevant country guidance and the merits of each individual case."
The names of the refugees have not been released, but the Cameroonian man told the court how he was set upon by a mob after he was seen kissing his boyfriend, whilst the Iranian fears public flogging or execution if he returns home.

Edit: As of the July 13, 2013 release of cudaMiner, the program has native Stratum support. It is highly suggested to use this latest version.
Download the latest version of the software from here.
cudaMiner is mining software made by cbuchner1 for the specific purpose of mining LTC faster on NVIDIA graphics cards. As a proud owner of a GTX 570, I decided to try out this software. I must say that this thing works wonder, however, it doesn't have stratum support at this time. In order to have the miner work with a stratum server, a couple things need to be done:
First, download the stratum_proxy.exe that should be available from the mining pool website. Most sites will require setting up some triggers. To make things simple, just make a shortcut to the file, right click, and go to Properties. Under the "Target" field, scroll to the very end, type a space, add "-pa scrypt -o [server address] -p [server port]" (without quotes). The server address and port should be listed on the pool miner setup page in a specific section regarding setting up the stratum server proxy. For example, setting up the "Give Me LTC" pool stratum proxy, add "-pa scrypt -o stratum.give-me-ltc.com -p 3333″ without quotes to the end of the "Target" field and hit the "Apply" button.
Once that is done, make a shortcut to the cudaminer.exe and go to the shortcut properties. If you use your computer while mining, it is best to first add "-i 1″ without quotes to the end of the "Target" field. This will lower the hashrate a bit with the benefit of there being little to no lag when doing most everyday tasks on the system (however, things like gaming will still be affected). Then add "-o http://127.0.0.1:8332″ (without quotes). This tells the miner to connect to your computer, which the stratum proxy will detect and send and receive data from the correct server. After the -o, add "-u [workername] -p [worker password]" (without quotes). The worker name and pass are available through your mining pool user information. This will usually NOT be the username and password for accessing the pool's website. Once done, hit "Apply" and close out of the window.
To start mining, first open the stratum proxy program through the shortcut, then open cudaMiner through the shortcut. If everything is set up correctly, the cudaMiner will report "longpolling activated for 127.0.0.1:8332/lp" and progress to auto-tuning and mining.
In order to speed up startup, you can tell the program to use a set tuning configuration ever time the program starts instead of going through the auto-tuning setup each time. After the first auto-tune, record the configuration number (mine is 30×7 for example), then go into the shortcut properties and add "-l [configuration numer]" (without quotes, lowercase L).
Since the program is being constantly updated, the easiest way to set up a new version is to overwrite the old program. However, this wastes some time having to close the program, so what I do is just unpack the archive folder to the desktop, and change the "Target" and "Start in" fields of the shortcut to the name of the new folder (usually just a date change). This way I always know the exact version I have. I would HIGHLY suggest checking the thread daily for updates. The hashrate of my card went from the 160 kH/s range with the April 13th version to over 200 kH/s on the April 14th version. Someone testing a 570 without the "-i 1″ command and auto-tuning enabled has manged up to 250 kH/s.

This is the classic example of film noir….more than Otto Preminger's Laura…more than anything else of the era. Why? Well, because this one's got everything. In a big way too….lust, murder, the perfect femme fatale, the perfect fall-guy, the perfect everything. Based on the novel by James M. Cain (who also penned The Postman Always Rings Twice and Mildred Pierce) and directed by Billy Wilder, Double Indemnity is a thriller from start to finish…you're always wondering and questions and getting closer and closer to the edge of your seat. Fred MacMurray plays a sarcastic insurance salesman who catches Barbara Stanwyck's eye when he goes to try and sell her husband some insurance. Stanwyck is unhappily married and MacMurray knows it. The one thing in their way…her husband. Like in Postman, husbands are always expendable. Stanwyck is simply the best film femme fatale ever. She's mean without being hard. She's cool under pressure without being too sentimental. Stylized and perfectly cast, this Wilder masterpiece set the standard for film noir films…and dared others to try and top it…which, in my opinion, no film ever did.

Inter have something else to worry about, as after Samuel Eto'o and Leonardo, now Lucio "will consider the offers from big clubs."
The Nerazzurri are in turmoil this week with Coach Leonardo quitting to become director general at Paris Saint-Germain and striker Eto'o admitting his future is uncertain.
"Lucio needs time to enjoy his summer holiday and prepare for the Copa America," revealed agent Sandro Becker.
"Everyone knows he received a proposal from Malaga, but his strong desire is to play in a top European competition.
"Lucio is a top player and there are big clubs interested in him. I am taking care of everything and will sit down so together we can consider the offers from big clubs, but only after the Copa America."
Lucio's departure is fairly likely, as the Brazil international defender's contract expires in June 2012.

In an age when social media and the web have made it easier than ever for potential employers to learn about the people they are considering hiring, it's essential for every college student and new graduate to be proactive when it comes to his or her own reputation. Developing and maintaining a strong personal brand is one effective way to ensure that potential employers are getting the right impression about you. Everything you do or say online has an impact—positive or negative—on your personal brand. To start investing in your personal brand, follow the recommendations outlined below. Doing so will set you apart from the intense competition that exists in the job market today.
Have Professional Photos Taken
There's nothing worse than using a bad photo when creating online profiles. Your photo is often the first thing employers will see and notice when they are searching for you online. When choosing photos for your online profiles, avoid photos that look unprofessional, outdated, fuzzy, include a lot of other people, include no people, or could in some way come across as inappropriate to a potential employer. Consider having a few professional portrait-style photos taken of you to use on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. In many cases, you can eliminate any costs commonly associated with hiring a photographer by contacting a photography student at a local college. Photography students will likely be willing to take professional photos of you for little to no cost as long as you agree to let them use the photos in their portfolios.
Use Social Media Sites Proactively
Every social media site has privacy options that allow you to hide as much or as little information as you desire from people outside of your network. Instead of using these settings to hide compromising content from potential employers, consider deleting the compromising content from your profiles entirely. After you have "cleaned up" your profiles, open your privacy settings up and use your profiles as personal branding tools for potential employers to see. Share information that helps employers understand who you are, what you're passionate about, and what value you can provide to them. Being proactive with social media sites in this way will let your potential employers know that you have nothing to hide.
Purchase YourName.com and Start Blogging
If you haven't already, check GoDaddy and find out if YourName.com is available to purchase. Buying and using your own domain (i.e. your first and last name) can help you maintain a strong personal brand. Once you have your domain, set up a blog and start writing and sharing interesting and valuable information about the industry you'd like to work in. You can connect your domain to blogging sites like Tumblr or WordPress and easily set up a free blog to aid in your personal branding efforts. Blogging about your industry will help you leverage yourself as someone who is knowledgeable and passionate about the field you intend to work in. Illustrating this knowledge will impress your potential employers, who will come across your blog when they search for you on Google.
Share Your Value and Experience
Don't be afraid to share your value and experience on social media sites and the web. Employers are looking for people who go above and beyond what is expected of them. Take time to read up on the industry you'd like to work in. Discuss various trends and news that relates to your industry on your blog, Facebook profile, or Twitter feed.
Maintain a Positive Online and Offline Reputation
If you have to ask yourself whether doing something might impact your chances of getting a job if an employer were to see or hear about it, don't do it. When building your personal brand, it's essential that you maintain a positive reputation—that applies to online and offline. You can spend hours crafting a positive reputation for yourself online, but it only takes an employer finding out about one bad decision you made offline for them to pass you over during the application and interview process. Everything you do online and offline applies to your personal brand.
Be Passionate
Employers are looking for passionate people. A big part of building and strengthening your personal brand involves expressing the passion you have for the career you hope to develop for yourself. Use every tool and opportunity online possible to share your passion so that employers don't have to question if you have what it takes down the road.
Have a Plan
The biggest step you can take to develop, maintain, and strengthen your personal brand is to have a plan. Decide what you're going to do to differentiate from your competition and follow through with your plan. Maintaining your online and offline reputation takes work. It's important that you take time to sit down and figure out what your goals are, where you're going to invest your time, and how you're going to succeed.
Create a profile on Collegefeed
Create a profile on Collegefeed. We act as your personal career assistant, and offer the ability for you to create a simple, yet effective personal brand profile to share with employers. We'll give you the tools to showcase all your work, accomplishments, skills, and interests, and we'll send your completed profile to hundreds of great companies.
Maintaining a personal brand is an investment, but it's worth your time. Presenting a strong reputation for yourself will help you stand out from other applicants when applying for jobs, and will put you on the right path toward your career.
