Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows Essential Training highlights the important features of this comprehensive image organization and photo enhancement application. Photographer Jan Kabili shows how to use Photoshop Elements to organize and edit photos, build photos into projects like slideshows and photo books, and share photos with family and friends. Jan explains how to train Photoshop Elements 8 to recognize and tag faces, use the Smart Brush for targeted adjustments, and share photos using Adobe's online service, photoshop.com. She also dives deep into the application's editing tools, which rival those of the full product, Photoshop, in their ability to take snapshots and turn them into great photos. Exercise files accompany the course.
Depending on the light under which you shoot a photo, the photo can sometimes have an unwanted predominant color called a colorcast. For example, if you shoot in snow or in fog as you see in this photo, the result may have a bluish cast, or if you shoot under fluorescent lights, your photo may have a greenish cast. The Remove Color Cast command is the most direct way to correct a colorcast in the Full Edit workspace. Before I apply that command to this photo, I'm going to open another panel, the Info panel, which will help me to diagnose the colorcast.
From the Window menu I'll choose Info, and that opens the Info panel over here. Notice that it has four quadrants. Because this photo is an RGB color mode photo, I'm interested in this first quadrant right here. If I move my mouse over part of the image, notice the numbers that come up in that first quadrant. They tell me the relative amount of red, green and blue in that part of the image, and as I move the location of my cursor I'll see different numbers there. So right now with the cursor over the snow, I see that there is a predominance of blue over green and red, because the number to the right of the B is higher than the numbers to the right of the R and the G in that first quadrant of the Info panel.
So I know that I have a blue colo cast here and it's not one that I want to keep. So now to try to get rid of it, I'll go up to the Enhance menu at the top of the screen, and I'll choose Adjust Color and from there Remove Color Cast. That opens the Remove Color Cast dialog box. Here it tells you exactly what to do, which is just to move your mouse over part of the image that you think should be either gray, white, or black and click there. And Elements will try to remove the colorcast from the entire image. And as it says here the results will be different depending on where you click.
So in this image, I might try clicking here on the stonework under the bench, but that doesn't give me a result that I like. Everything is aqua colored. So maybe I'll try these bushes here. And that gives me a magenta result that I don't really like. Let me try clicking in the snow, and now I finally have the neutralized result that I was looking for. To preview the image before I applied this command, I'll go to the Remove Color Cast dialog box and uncheck Preview. So that's where I started with a blue colorcast, and that's where I ended.
Now this isn't the only adjustment I would make to this image. I would probably also add a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to try to intensify the colors that are currently there. But at least I've minimized that blue colorcast that I started with. So I'm going to click OK. As you have seen the Remove Color Cast command can be pretty valuable, except that there is a little bit of trial and error. I just had to click around in areas that I thought should be neutral until I got the result that I wanted. If you shot a photo under less than ideal lighting conditions as I did here, then use the Info panel to check for a colorcast, but keep in mind that there's nothing inherently wrong with a colorcast.
If you have a colorcast that's appealing to you, then keep it that way. For example, if you have a sunset photo, there might be a nice golden cast that enhances the end of day mood in the photo and you might want to keep that. But if there's a colorcast that you find unappealing then do try to reduce it using the Remove Color Cast command.

Organizers of the 10K Chasing Snakes race estimated approximately 500 people participated this year. (Photos by Dave Boyd/Johnson City Press)
Distance running is about repetition and controlling the controllables, but sometimes you have to roll with the punches.
Johnson City's J Penny was put in one of those situations where he needed to roll with the punches just before the start of Saturday's Chasing Snakes 10K road race, hosted by St. John's Episcopal Church.
After he returned from his warm-up about 10 minutes before the gun was slated to go off to start the race, he was switching from his training shoes into his racing flats when he noticed the laces of his racing shoes were wet and there was a puddle next to where he had put them when he set out for his warm-up.
• Scroll down to see Tony Casey's personal point of view GoPro video from the race.
Giving a quick sniff of his shoes, it was clear what had happened. A dog had thought Penny's shoes were a good place to conduct its morning business.
As any true competitor would have, Penny laced up and went on to win the race in an unofficial preliminary time of 34 minutes, 49 seconds. Official times were not available at the race site Saturday afternoon.
Running next to Penny for the first few miles of the race, it was clear he was able to shake off the kink in his racing plans enough to focus on the race. Full disclosure, Penny and I train and frequently race together, and this race went nearly identically to how others have gone — Penny the bride, Casey the bridesmaid.
We went through the first mile, which is marked just outside the front entrance of the Johnson City Press, in 5:24 before hitting the downtown Johnson City portion of the race, where you experience that old-timey feel between the tight streets and brick buildings that contain several mainstay small businesses.
Through every portion of the race, it was clear that the race's organizers, the parishioners at St. John's, were extremely careful in making sure everyone had a Irish-themed good and safe time for their St. Patrick's Day holiday race. Volunteers at every intersection were frequently wearing green and being as festive and helpful as possible.
Heading into the midpoint of the race, as usual, Penny took off to leave me wondering what had happened, not coincidentally just at the beginning of the course's uphill section.
I'm an upstate New Yorker, and though I came from hills, I never seem to be as prepared for the hills as Penny, who was a standout runner at David Crockett High School before running for Dave Walker's legendary East Tennessee State University's distance running program. I hit the 5K mark in just more than 17 minutes flat, with Penny in sight but certainly out of range.
After we found ourselves winding through the Gump Addition neighborhood hills and heading back toward the church, and thankfully, the finish line, we had one more brutal hill at just past the 5.5-mile mark.
Call it the Nightmare of Elm Street, but it's nearly impossible not to chop your stride in half and add a minute per mile to your pace just to get up the 150-meter hill.
While it's truly all downhill for the last half-mile of the race, it's hard not to have blown your energy making it up that last hill to set down a ferocious kick and finish. A lopsided attempt at a strong finish and I came through the line well beaten by Penny as the clock read an unofficial time of 35:31, almost 80 seconds slower than my first dance with Penny on the course two years before that ended with the same placing. Saturday's time was fine by me, since I had a GoPro camera strapped to my head for the first time.
Not long after, Roan Mountain's Tyrell Hughes, a strong up-and-coming local road racer, crossed the line for third, with Johnson City Police Department officer and Ironman Jason Lewis just behind, cracking the 38-minute barrier for his best time on the course in several attempts.
Lewis, who patrols Johnson City streets, said the race is a great way to tour different parts of the city.
"It's a great way to see the different types of neighborhoods," Lewis said. "This time of year is the perfect time to race."
The women's winner, Meg Lederer, a fiend for the longer trail races, has converted to road running out of convenience recently after having had a baby just five months ago. As strong as her victory and race was, she wasn't doing it for herself. She's organized a group of local runners who want to tackle area races and cherish the support and companionship of having each other.
"We all hold each other accountable," Lederer said about her seven training partners.
Lederer said the group came together through social media before meeting at Foot Rx, a Johnson City running store, before branching off into a smaller training group that has weekly track workouts and other runs.
She captured the women's victory in an unofficial time of 44:51, with her husband, Eric, finishing a bit ahead of her.
Meg Lederer said it's been a pleasure being able to train with her daughter, sharing the experience by pushing her in a stroller. This must be a secret, because Penny said he does the same. He lives on the course, just after the four-mile mark, and calls it home field advantage that he gets to push his daughter through the Gump portion of the course in a stroller several times a week.
McKenna Cox, spokeswoman for the race, was announcing runners' names as they crossed the line in a respectable Irish-sounding accent. She was happy with how the event had gone.
"It's going really well," Cox said. "There's good weather and we had a great turnout."
The event's proceeds go to Family Promise of Greater Johnson City, an organization that helps support homeless families and transition them into getting their own living quarters and jobs.
Race organizer Lucas Gregory said they were poised to crest the $50,000 mark for the charity, with donations up from the previous year. With the help of the 500-plus participants this year and runners from the previous five years of the race, donations have helped Family Promise aid 500 families since 2000.
Gregory called it a very successful year and couldn't thank the volunteers and the parishioner committee enough for all the hard work they've put in to make Chasing Snakes the race it is. He said the age range of participants, including the 4K walk, was from six months to 84 years old, with nine states represented.
Elizabeth Guillimette of Johnson City used the 10K as her first time running six miles and was extremely satisfied to have finished the race strong, especially since she went hiking with her family the day before.
She said her kids are on their spring break and she just couldn't say no, so, knowing it could affect her race the following day, went for it and climbed Buffalo Mountain.

This leather table runner is made by using contact adhesive to stick pieces of leather onto denim backing from a pair of old jeans before stitching the pieces down.
This is a reasonably basic sewing project but I am assuming you know how to work a sewing machine - zig-zag stitch, back-tacking at the start/end of stitching, etc.
Step 1: Materials
- A bunch of leather scraps (you'll need more than you think)
- Denim recycled from a pair of jeans
- Extra-strong sewing thread
Standard Sewing Equipment:
- Sewing machine
- Leather or Jeans sewing needle
- Fabric shears
- Thread snips
- Rotary cutter and cutting mat
- Iron and ironing board
- Ruler
- Chalk or fabric pen
Make sure you have strong thread and a strong needle - you can get a leather needle, but I found a jeans needle works just as well. The jeans needle makes a round hole, the leather needle makes a diamond-shaped cut which closes up better if you unpick the stitch.
Step 2: Prepare Materials
Cut and iron the denim
I used most of the leg of a large pair of non-stretchy jeans as the backing material for the table runner. You could use other heavy fabric like cotton canvas - any material which doesn't distort or stretch as you work with it.
I cut the denim into a rough rectangle and ironed it to remove wrinkles and make it flat. You will lose some material around the edges in the final trimming stage, so be generous with your starting material.
Flatten the leather
Chances are your leather was stored crumpled up in a bag and is all wrinkled. You can iron the rough side of the leather on low-medium heat to flatten it out. Some people suggest ironing through a paper bag; I had an iron cover which did the same job.
While the leather is still hot, put a nice heavy textbook on top and leave it for a few minutes to set the leather flat. Stack up the flat pieces neatly so they'll stay unwrinkled.
Leather comes in a range of thicknesses. You'll probably want to choose pieces which are of reasonably similar thickness.
i like your work
I think there can be some other reasons for zig-zag skipping, like a bent needle, but lowering the tension definitely solved the problem for me.
Thank you!

Tasbih (Arabic: تسبيح) is a form of dhikr that involves the repetitive utterances of short sentences glorifying God, in Islam. To keep track of counting either the phalanges of the right hand or a misbaha is used. The misbaha is similar to the prayer rope of the Eastern Church and the rosary in the Roman Catholic Church.
The term tasbih is an irregular derivation from subhan, which is the first word of the constitutive sentence of the first third of the canonical form (see below) of tasbih. The word literally means, as a verb, "to travel swiftly" and, as a noun, "duties" or "occupation." However, in the devotional context, tasbih refers to Subhana Allah, which is often used in the Qur'an with the preposition 'an (عن), meaning "'God is [de]void' [of what they (polytheists) attribute to Him]" (Al-Tawba: 31, Al-Zumar: 67 et al.). Without this preposition, it means something like "Glory be to God."
Canonical form: "tasbih of Fatima"[edit]
In order:
- Subhan'Allah (سبحان الله) (Glory be to Allah) – repeated 33 times.
- Alhamdulillah (الحمد لله) (Praise be to Allah) – repeated 33 times.
- Allahuakbar (الله أكبر) (Allah is the Greatest) – repeated 33 times.[1]
Narrated by Abu Huraira: Some poor people came to the Prophet and said, "The wealthy people will get higher grades and will have permanent enjoyment, and they pray like us and fast as we do. They have more money by which they perform the Hajj and 'Umra, fight and struggle in Allah's Cause and give in charity." The Prophet said, "Shall I not tell you a thing upon which if you acted you would catch up with those who have surpassed you? Nobody would overtake you, and you would be better than the people amongst whom you live except those who would do the same. Say "Sub-han-al-lah", "Alhamdu-lillah" and "Allahu Akbar" thirty three times each after every (compulsory) prayer." We differed, and some of us said that we should say "Subhan-al-lah" thirty three times and "Alhamdu lillah" thirty three times and "Allahu Akbar" thirty four times. I went to the Prophet, who said: "Say, "Subhan-al-lah" and "Alhamdu lillah" and "Allahu Akbar" all together for thirty three times." (Book #12, Hadith #804)
Dhikr is of great importance to the Muslims and believe that it has to be done as taught. However, adherents of the Salafi sect shun the use of Misbaha (prayer rope) as an innovation, preferring to stick to use of the fingers. the exact method believed to have been used by Muhammad. Muhammad is recorded to have ordered to count Dhikr on fingers and that the fingers in an accepted book of Hadith (sayings of Muhammad). (Abu Dawood 1501).
Made of[edit]
Misbaha are most commonly made of various stones or wooden beads, but also of olive seeds, ivory, amber, pearls, or plastic. Stone beads (mineral and animal based) are made of carnelian, amber, tortoiseshell, glass, meerschaum, ivory, pearl, coral, coconut, pebble, mother-of-pearl, jade, rhino horn, etc., whereas wooden beads are made of ebony, agalloch, rosewood, olive wood, etc.
Besides 99 beads, misbaha also consists of the "nisane", a disc which separates each group of 33 beads; the "pul", a small bead that marks the seventh position; the "tassel", which is a long piece marking the beginning of the string; and the "tepelik" at the top of the tassel. In 33-bead misbaha, "nisane" separates 11 beads and there is no "pul".

I used to consider the occasional massage a blissful, self-indulgent luxury. But as I've gotten older, I've become more and more convinced that regular rubdowns are an important prescription for physical and mental well-being.
In fact, there is a growing body of research confirming that massage can be good medicine. "We now know that massage therapy is not just for pleasure, but has significant psychological, physiological and biochemical effects that enhance health," says Tiffany Field, director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami Medical School, which has conducted more than 100 studies showing that massage's benefits can include positive effects on depression and anxiety, sleep, stress hormones, immunity and pain relief.

This application claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/649,984 filed Feb. 4, 2005, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Multi-processor systems, although they vary in specific architecture, typically use a sub-system to handle signals and interrupts from devices and from processor tasks. A typical multi-processor system may include a central processor, a plurality of sub-processors, a memory, a system bus, and an input/output channel for communication with devices and data networks.
Some multi-processor systems attempt to handle interrupts through a central processor. The central processor designates one or more sub-processors to handle interrupts as they occur, and upon receipt of an interrupt from a system device, an interrupt task is transmitted over the system bus to the designated sub-processor. However, centralization of interrupt handling can result in a "bottleneck" at the central processor, especially in systems of higher complexity.
In other systems, the multi-processor system uses a parallel bus to broadcast interrupts to all sub-processors. One or more of the sub-processors are designated to accept the interrupt, and thereafter execute the interrupt task. However, such systems may suffer congestion problems as the size of the multi-processor system, and hence the number of interrupts broadcast to all processors, increases.
Reference is now made to
The PE further includes, or has access to, a timer 180 which is indicated as being internal to the PE but may also be located externally.
The PE 100 is preferably capable of determining, internally and without assistance from elements outside of the PE 100, which SPUs will execute particular tasks based on the priority level of the task. For example, PU 104 will determine, based on the priority level of a task, whether and which SPU 108 is currently available to take a task. PU 104 also determines whether an SPU should switch its current task to another processor (internal or external PE 100) in order to take a higher-priority task.
PE 100 may further include an interrupt generator (IG) 150. An interrupt generator (IG) 150 provides information indicative of whether there is a pending interrupt request.
The interrupt information managed by IG 150 may result from an interrupt coming from any source, including IG 150 itself, other elements within PE 100, or from devices connected to the PE such as devices 170 (which may include I/O Control 212 as shown in
The IG 150 may send information to the other elements of PE 100, such as via Local PE Bus 120. IG 150 may also be polled for information by the other elements of PE 100, such as by PU 104 or any of the SPUs 108.
Preferably, IG 150 includes either a Specify Register 151, a Polling Register 152 or both. The dotted lines in
Neither the Specify Register Embodiment nor the Polling Register Embodiment require that the IG 150 or any other element broadcast interrupt information to the various processors of the PE, such as SPUs 108 or PU 104. Moreover, these and other aspects of the system tend to obviate the need for dedicated interrupt channels, arbitration or conflict resolution, which commensurately lowers overhead and increases the likelihood of scalability to large systems without creating bottlenecks. However, while various embodiments of the invention are capable of obviating the need for such broadcasts, channels, arbitration or conflict resolutions, such methods and system are not incompatible with, and may also be used with, the present invention.
The Specify Register 151 stores a value which points to one of the SPUs 108, and is generally intended to indicate which SPU should process an interrupt request.
Moreover, in the Specify Register Embodiment, IG 150 is preferably configured to transmit an interrupt packet via bus 120 to the SPU 108 designated by the Specify Register 151. An interrupt packet includes the information that the SPU requires in order to respond to the interrupt. For example, the interrupt packet may be an interrupt handler task, or a pointer to the task. The interrupt packet may also include the address of the processor which should handle the interrupt and data, such as an identification of the source of the interrupt or user-defined information.
The Polling Register 152 stores information relating to whether an interrupt request is pending, such as a pointer to an interrupt packet or the reason the interrupt occurred.
A Priority Table is stored in memory accessible to the processors that assist in the determination of which processor should handle the next interrupt. The priority table may be located in other elements internal or external to the system as long as the table is accessible to the system elements that use the table. For example, because PE 200 contains a collection of task-executing SPUs 108, Priority Table 160 may be stored in DMAC 106, which substantially operates as the system-wide memory for the system comprising PE 100. The information contained in Priority Table 160 may be accessible to SPUs 108 via an atomic command and atomic cache. It may also be preferable to store the Priority Table in cache memory, such as in an L1 or l2 cache in PU 104, or in the atomic cache of an individual SPU.
In one aspect of the invention, the Priority Table stores only two items of information: a pointer to one of the SPUs 108 and a value that equals or points to the priority level of the task being executed by that SPU. For example, the total size of Priority Table 160 will be 8 bytes if the pointer comprises a unique ID assigned to one of the SPUs 108, the unique ID is 4 bytes long, and the priority level is 4 bytes long. The description herein may also apply in certain aspects to PU 104; for example, PU 104 may also function as the lowest processor in which case the pointer may also identify PU 104.
PE 100 can be constructed using various methods for implementing digital logic. PE 100 preferably is constructed, however, as a single integrated circuit employing CMOS on a silicon substrate. PE 100 is closely associated with a memory 130 through a high bandwidth memory connection 122. The memory 130 desirably functions as the main memory for PE 100. Although the memory 130 is preferably a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), the memory 130 could be implemented using other means, e.g., as a static random access memory (SRAM), a magnetic random access memory (MRAM), an optical memory, a holographic memory, etc. DMAC 106 and memory interface 110 facilitate the transfer of data between the memory 130 and the SPUs 108 and PU 104 of the PE 100.
PU 104 can be, e.g., a standard processor capable of stand-alone processing of data and applications. In operation, the PU 104 schedules and orchestrates the processing of data and applications by the SPUs 108. In an alternative configuration, the PE 100 may include multiple PUs 104. Each of the PUs 104 may control one, all, or some designated group of the SPUs 108. The SPUs 108 are preferably single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) processors. Under the control of PU 104, the SPUs 108 may perform the processing of the data and applications in a parallel and independent manner. DMAC 106 controls accesses by PU 104 and the SPUs 108 to the data and applications stored in the shared memory 130. Preferably, a number of PEs, such as PE 100, may be joined or packed together, or otherwise logically associated with one another, to provide enhanced processing power.
The PEs 200 are preferably tied to a shared bus 202. A memory controller or DMAC 206 may be connected to the shared bus 202 through a memory bus 204. The DMAC 206 connects to a memory 208, which may be of one of the types discussed above with regard to memory 130. An I/O controller 212 may also be connected to the shared bus 202 through an I/O bus 210. The I/O controller 212 may connect to one or more I/O devices 214, such as frame buffers, disk drives, etc. It should be understood that the above processing modules and architectures are merely exemplary, and the various aspects of the present invention may be employed with other structures, including, but not limited to multiprocessor systems of the types disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,526,491, entitled "Memory Protection System and Method for Computer Architecture for Broadband Networks," issued on Feb. 25, 2003, and U.S. application Ser. No. 09/816,004, entitled "Computer Architecture and Software Cells for Broadband Networks," filed on Mar. 22, 2001, which are hereby expressly incorporated by reference herein.
SPU 300 preferably includes or is otherwise logically associated with local store (LS) 302, registers 304, one or more floating point units 306 and one or more integer units 308. The components of SPU 300 are, in turn, comprised of subcomponents, as will be described below. Depending upon the processing power required, a greater or lesser number of floating point units (FPUs) 306 and integer units (IUs) 308 may be employed. In a preferred embodiment, local store 302 contains at least 128 kilobytes of storage, and the capacity of registers 304 is 128�128 bits. Floating point units 306 preferably operate at a speed of at least 32 billion floating point operations per second (32 GFLOPS), and integer units 308 preferably operate at a speed of at least 32 billion operations per second (32 GOPS).
Local store 302 is preferably not a cache memory. Cache coherency support for the SPU 300 is unnecessary. Instead, the local store 302 is preferably constructed as an SRAM. A PU 104 may require cache coherency support for direct memory access initiated by the PU 104. Cache coherency support is not required, however, for direct memory access initiated by the SPU 300 or for accesses to and from external devices, e.g., I/O device 214. Local store 302 may be implemented as, e.g., a physical memory associated with a particular SPU 300, a virtual memory region associated with the SPU 300, a combination of physical memory and virtual memory, or an equivalent hardware, software and/or firmware structure. If external to the SPU 300, the local store 302 may be coupled to the SPU 300 via a SPU-specific local bus, or may be coupled via a system bus such as local PE bus 120.
SPU 300 further includes bus 310 for transmitting applications and data to and from the SPU 300 through a bus interface (Bus I/F) 312. In a preferred embodiment, bus 310 is 1,024 bits wide. SPU 300 further includes internal busses 314, 316 and 318. In a preferred embodiment, bus 314 has a width of 256 bits and provides communication between local store 302 and registers 304. Busses 316 and 318 provide communications between, respectively, registers 304 and floating point units 306, and registers 304 and integer units 308. In a preferred embodiment, the width of busses 316 and 318 from registers 304 to the floating point or integer units is 384 bits, and the width of the busses 316 and 318 from the floating point or integer units to the registers 304 is 128 bits. The larger width of the busses from the registers 304 to the floating point units 306 and the integer units 308 accommodates the larger data flow from the registers 304 during processing. In one example, a maximum of three words are needed for each calculation. The result of each calculation, however, is normally only one word.
Preferably, each SPU has an identifier by which it can be identified by the Priority Table 160. However, any data structure or the like may be used by the Priority Table to point to an SPU.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, each SPU stores and maintains a value indicative of whether it will handle the next interrupt. Preferably, one and only one of the processors, among the collection of relevant processors, will store the value that indicates that it will handle the next interrupt-related task. For example, each SPU 108 preferably includes a 1-bit Task Flag 165 a-d and only one of the Task Flags 165 a-d will have the value of 1 whereas all of the other flags will have the value of 0. Each SPU can check its own Task Flag to determine—without accessing any other elements of PE 100—whether it is the designated "one" among the collection of SPUs 108. For ease of reference, the SPU with its Task Flag set to 1 shall be referred to herein as the "Lowest Processor." Despite the nomenclature, there may be moments in time where the Lowest Processor is not the SPU having the task with the lowest priority.
Preferably, each SPU and PU executes tasks in accordance with its own kernel, which may be identical for each of the processors.
In addition to the operations illustrated in
When an SPU is instructed to perform a new task, it first locks itself to prevent processing of its current task.
Next, the SPU that is having its task switched (hereafter, the "switching processor" or "switching SPU") gathers information that it may need to determine how the priority level of the new task [New Priority Level] relates to the priority level [Table Priority Level] of the processor that is currently identified [Table Processor ID] in the Priority Table 160.
The switching SPU then determines whether its Task Flag 165 indicates that it is Lowest Processor. As indicated above, in one embodiment this test is performed by determining whether the Task Flag value is 1 where only one of the Task Flags 165 is permitted to have the value of 1.
If the switching processor is not the Lowest Processor (hereafter, a processor that is not the Lowest Processor shall be referred to as a "Normal Processor"), the switching processor will compare the priority of the new task [New Priority Level] to the priority of the task currently listed in the Priority Table [Table Priority Level].
If a Normal Processor's new priority level is greater than the priority level stored in the Priority Table, then the Normal Processor will simply unlock and start the new task.
If a Normal Processor's new priority level is less than the priority level stored in the Priority Table, then this indicates that the Normal Processor's new task is likely—at that moment—the lowest priority task among the various processors (such as SPUs 108). Accordingly, the Normal Processor will store its ID and [New Priority Level] in the Priority Table 160. After it updates the Priority Table, the Normal Processor will unlock itself and start the new task.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a Normal Processor will not change its Task Flag, any other Task Flag, or any of the registers of the Interrupt Generator despite the fact that the new task has a lower priority than the task listed in the Priority Table. Rather, those functions are delegated to be performed by the Lowest Processor when the Lowest Processor eventually switches tasks. In this regard, at any given moment in time, the Lowest Processor is not necessarily the processor with the lowest-priority task.
If the switching SPU is the Lowest Processor, then the SPU will compare the priority of the new task [New Priority Level] to the priority of the task currently listed in the Priority Table [Table Priority Level].
If the Lowest Processor's new priority level is less than the priority level stored in the Priority Table, then the Lowest Processor will store its ID and the new priority level in the Priority Table 160. After it updates the Priority Table, the Lowest Processor then unlocks and starts the new task.
However, if the Lowest Processor's new priority level is greater than or equal to the priority level stored in the Priority Table, then the Lowest Processor will determine whether the Priority Table is pointing to it. In other words, at this point, the switching Lowest Processor will determine whether it is the processor currently listed in the Priority Table as having the task with the lowest priority.
If the Priority Table is pointing at the Lowest Processor at this point, then the Lowest Processor will set the priority level contained in the Priority Table to the same level as its new task. However, it will not change the Priority Table to point at the Lowest Processor because the next Lowest Processor is not the current Lowest Processor.
If the Priority Table is not pointing at the Lowest Processor, and if as noted above the new task is more important than the task listed in the Priority Table, then the Lowest Processor will set the Task Flag of the processor listed in the Priority Table to the value of 1 (thus making that processor the Lowest Processor). The switching processor then changes its Task Flag to 0 (thus changing the switching processor from the Lowest Processor to a Normal Processor). The switching processor—which was the Lowest Processor but is now a Normal Processor—then unlocks itself and starts the new task.
In accordance with the foregoing operation, it is thus the Lowest Processor that determines which processor is designated as the Lowest Processor. The Lowest Processor may determine that it will stay the Lowest Processor after a task switch, or it may determine that another one of the processors will now be the Lowest Processor. Moreover, a Normal Processor does not change its own or other processor's Task Flags; rather, that is the responsibility of the Lowest Processor.
In the Specify Register Embodiment, the switching processor will also update the Specify Register 151 before or after it designates another processor as the Lowest Processor. Specifically, it will set the register equivalent to a value that points to the new Lowest Processor. In the foregoing example, the Specify Register would be set to [Table Processor ID].
When the Lowest Processor receives a tick from timer 180 (
If the polling register is clear, then the Lowest Processor and other SPUs will simply process their currently-pending tasks.
If the polling register is not clear, then the Lowest Processor will then use the interrupt packet designated by the Polling Register to determine which task is to be executed in response to the interrupt. The Lowest Processor will then clear the register.
When the Lowest Processor, or any other processor, switches from its current task to a task for handling an interrupt, it preferably goes through the same operation discussed above in connection with
Accordingly, one aspect of the invention assigns the responsibility of identifying the next processor to handle an interrupt to one of the processors among a collection of processors. Whenever that processor switches tasks and determines that it is no longer the least important processor as far as task priority is concerned, it will then select and transfer its interrupt-related responsibilities (i.e., handling the interrupt and determining the next interrupt-handing processor) to the processor which is executing the least important task. The selected processor will then be designated for handling interrupts unless and until it undergoes a task switch and selects a different processor.
In accordance with operations discussed above, the following elements will have the following access to other elements of the system. The Lowest Processor will be capable of at least: writing to and reading from Priority Table 160; writing to the Task Flag 165 of one of the other SPUs 108, and; writing to the Specify Register 151 or the Polling Register 152 of Interrupt Generator 150. A Normal Processor will be capable of at least writing to and reading from Priority Table 160. IG 150 will be capable of at least: sending information to the Lowest Processor in the Specify Register Embodiment; reading the Specify Register 151 in the Specify Register Embodiment, and; writing to the Polling Register 152 in the Polling Register Embodiment.
One of the advantages of the present invention is its ability to accommodate a wide variety of alternatives to the example structural elements and operations discussed above.
For example, while most of the foregoing discussion used the SPUs as examples of processors that are capable of handling interrupts and managing which processor will handle the next interrupt (and the invention is particularly advantageous when used in connection with PEs such as those described above), the invention is also applicable to collections of other processors. For example, the invention may also be applied at the system level shown in
The foregoing discussion has assumed that each SPU executes only a single task. However, the invention is equally applicable to SPUs which are themselves capable of multi-tasking. However, it would be preferable in such a system for such an SPU to have a multi-bit task flag to reflect this capability.
The Priority Table 160 may also be used to store additional information. For example, it may store the following columns of information: (1) the identity of an SPU, (2) the identity of the task assigned to the SPU, and (3) the priority value of that task. Moreover, it may a store a single row for each SPU. Such a Priority Table provides the advantage of providing a snapshot of the priorities of all of the various SPUs. However, even if such a Priority Table is used, it is preferable to provide a means for quickly identifying the SPU having the task with the lowest priority value.
The Priority Table may also store additional information in order to prevent priority inversion difficulties. Such a difficulty might occur when: the normal processor receives new task which is lower than the Lowest Processor (making the normal processor the "Next Lowest Processor"); the Next Lowest Processor over-writes the Priority Table; the Next Lowest Processor receives new task which is higher than the Lowest Processor, and; the Lowest Processor receives higher task and switches to the Next Lowest Processor. However, the Next Lowest Processor is not the processor with the lowest task anymore. To address this, the Priority Table may store the following information: a priority level reflecting the lowest task priority; a processor ID identifying the processor with the lowest priority task; a Curr Priority Level reflecting the Lowest Processor's priority, and; a Curr Processor ID identifying the Lowest Processor (where the Curr Priority Level and Curr Processor ID holds the current Processor ID information).
Moreover, the Specify and Polling Register Embodiments are not mutually exclusive. By way of example only, certain interrupt information could be sent immediately to an SPU in accordance with the Specify Register Embodiment whereas other interrupt information may be placed in the Polling Register Embodiment for polling by the Lowest Processor.
Unless stated to the contrary, use of words such as "including," "containing," "such as," "comprising" and the like, means "including without limitation" and shall not be construed to limit any general statement that it follows to the specific or similar items or matters immediately following it. References to a "plurality" of things means at least two of the things, and, unless stated to the contrary, reference to "a" or "one" thing does exclude the possibility of using a plurality of such things.
Most of the foregoing alternative embodiments are not mutually exclusive, but may be implemented in various combinations to achieve unique advantages. As these and other variations and combinations of the features discussed above can be utilized without departing from the invention as defined by the claims, the foregoing description of the embodiments should be taken by way of illustration rather than by way of limitation of the invention as defined by the claims.

Policy - DuqNet Wireless Network Airspace
Duquesne University has and will continue to implement wireless services across several areas of the University campus to promote the ease of mobile computing. This service allows all of the University community to gain entry to the campus-wide network from wireless-enabled computers where coverage is available. Any disruption, either accidental or intentional, of the wireless network may interfere with others' ability to access important University resources.
To offer this service, users of Duquesne University's Wireless Network (DuqNet) must understand that Computing and Technology Services (CTS) needs to minimize potential interference within its airspace to ensure all users reliable performance. Wireless networking is the broadcast form of communication over a radio frequency, and as such presents a variety of additional issues and security risks that are not present with a wired connection.
Wireless Ethernet utilizes the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ISM unlicensed frequency spectrum. This frequency spectrum occupies the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz radio frequency bands. This type of wireless network is the most common and utilizes the IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11a DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) wireless LAN specification. There are other electronic devices (both consumer, scientific, & professional) that operate in the same 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency band and may cause interference or prevent the University wireless network from operating properly. These devices include, and are not limited to, other IEEE wireless LAN devices, Bluetooth products, cordless telephones, wireless routers, and microwave ovens. Students, staff, and faculty are encouraged to work with CTS to ensure the highest level of service.
CTS reserves the right to manage the shared use of the 2.4 and 5 GHz radio spectrum in the same manner as the wired network. For that reason, CTS will regulate the University's airspace to prevent unauthorized access, interference, and or loss of signal.

For more than a decade, Morris Brown College has clung to life as it struggled academically and financially in the face of growing debt and dwindling support.
Now, one of the country's oldest black colleges, which at times boasted an enrollment of more than 3,000 student, is now down to about 50, and all but dead.
Morris Brown is facing foreclosure next month, after investors called $13 million worth of bonds tied to the college. An auction of assets, including the administration building, is scheduled for Sept. 4.
"This is heartbreaking and not only a sad day in the life of Morris Brown, but in black academia," said former Atlanta City Councilman Derrick Boazman, a 1990 graduate of Morris Brown. "The school is needed now more than ever."

Southern rides defense to rout of Hunt, state finals berth
Wilson Hunt came into Spartan Stadium hoping to use its ball-control, pro-set offense and experience in three prior consecutive trips to the Eastern Regional championship game to crush Southern's dream of getting to the state title game. And it worked.
For most of the first quarter, anyhow.
Southern's swift, swarming and ferocious defense rose up large and in charge to the challenge, forcing fumbles, sacking the quarterback, harassing receivers, blocking a punt for a touchdown, and seemingly intercepting at will in a 38-10 victory and a shot at the 3-AA championship game against
In holding a Warrior team averaging 28.2 points per game to about one-third of its normal output, Southern's defense said not tonight. Not in our house. Not with an opportunity to make history with the school's first appearance in a state football final.
"We'll take it," said Southern coach Adrian Jones. "Our offense wasn't as good as it normally is. When the defense wins championships, offense sells tickets."
The most electrifying defensive play of the night was defensive back Kaleb Barfield's 98-yard interception return, getting the pick off of Hunt quarterback Jacob Williamson three yards into the end zone and sprinting down the sideline before being tackled at the Hunt 5-yardline.
Kaleb Barfield: "We worked really hard. In practice this week we set the standard. We didn't want to give up a lot of points. We said we had to hit them hard because we knew they had good running backs. We played a good game.
"The quarterback caught me on the sideline. He knew he got a good effort to try to stop me but I tried my hardest. Next time I'm getting in the box," Barfield said.
"It was almost unreal. I saw him break on the out and I knew it was coming so I broke on it and I just caught it and I just took off," Barfield said.
"Before they had gotten the two big catches on my other corner so I knew they were coming at me. So I was just thinking when the play comes I've got to step up and make it."
Josh Manns was among Southern defenders recovering a fumble.
"We played a great game. Just stopping them when they were getting close to scoring was a big thing. So we just kept playing and kept our head in the game and we just came out with the big stops," Manns said.
"It was great, the first time ever making history so that's always a good thing," he said of the team advancing to the state title game.
Linebacker Kameron Johnson stripped the ball that Manns recovered.
"I just saw it. It was an opportunity so I just jumped on the ball," Manns said.
It was also Johnson who blocked the punt that was returned for a TD by linebacker Tahj Spivey.
"Honestly, this is my very first high school touchdown, and it hasn't hit me just yet. I think it will hit me when I'm putting it on my highlight tape," Spivey said.
"It's not just an individual thing. When we watched film that was one thing we keyed in on, was special teams. And when we all started clicking that's when plays started being made."
"I believe…we also stopped them a lot of times from big plays. It was a lot of big runs that could have went in for scores and we stopped those," he said.
"All I can say is how about that defense," Jones said. "We've got a great coaching staff. We had great defense all year."
He said plays like Barfield's runback and Spivey's blocked punt TD were critical.
"I felt like the tables were turning, that we had a good advantage on them," Jones said.
"That's probably as fast as I ever ran," Jones said of Barfield's runback. "I was running right beside him there for a few minutes. My hamstrings got a little tight."

The Bosnia international was on Tuesday quoted as telling Spanish news agency EFE that Barca scouts had watched him at the Stadio Olimpico and that he would be open to any subsequent approach from the Catalan giants.
The 22-year-old on Wednesday denied speaking to journalists, though, instead committing his future to Roma, for whom he has been a first-team regular since leaving Lyon in 2011.
Quoted in the Corriere dello Sport, he told ANSA: "I respect Barcelona, but my team is Roma and I'm happy where I am.
"I've not spoken with any journalists. I have two and a half years on my contract and I've never thought about leaving."

Junior Jamel McLean posted 17 points against Baylor.
Nov. 29, 2009
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Despite a solid performance from junior forward Jamel McLean that included 17 points and five rebounds, the Xavier Musketeers fell to Baylor 69-64 in the fifth place game at the Old Spice Classic at Walt Disney World Sunday. With the loss, Xavier falls to 4-2 on the season while Baylor improves to 6-1.
McLean's 17 points capped a 7-of-11 shooting day for the big man from Hampton, Va. Sophomore guard Jordan Crawford was second in scoring and rebounding for the Musketeers with 16 points and six rebounds. Senior Jason Love led the Musketeers in rebounding with seven.
Baylor came out of the gate strong in the first half, going on an 11-2 run in the first three minutes of play. Six of the first 11 Baylor points came from senior guard Tweety Carter threes. Carter finished the game with 27 points on 8-of-16 from the field and 6-of-10 from behind the arch.
XU took its first lead of the game at the 5:40 mark in the first half on a 3-pointer by freshman Mark Lyons. Lyons hit 3-of-7 from the field for his eight points on the day. Baylor regained the lead at the 4:10 mark on a Carter jumper and carried its 26-25 lead into halftime.
Xavier took a 28-27 lead at the 19:18 mark in the second period on a 3-ball by junior Dante' Jackson. However, the Bears were able to take the lead for good at the 16:04 mark on a jumper by Carter.
The Musketeers kept the game tight and a Brad Redford three cut the Baylor lead to 65-61 with just 13 seconds left.
The Bears were able to capitalize on a strong free throw shooting performance down the stretch to seal the 69-64 win. BU shot 66.7 percent from the charity stripe while the Musketeers hit 52.4 percent of their free throws.
XU will return to action Friday, December 4, as the Musketeers play host to Kent State. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. and the game will be televised on Fox Sports Ohio.

Reefer Madness: Only 3 Percent of Pot Stories Mention Health Risks
As stoners prepare for their annual 420 smoking ŌĆ£holidayŌĆØ on April 20, the broadcast networks have done little to educate users on the risks of their leafy drug of choice in spite of extensive reporting on state legalization of pot.
Network evening news reported the growth and legalization of recreational marijuana in Washington state and Colorado. ABC, CBS and NBC evening news programs spent more than 30 minutes discussing the newly legal drug between Oct. 1, 2013, and March 31, 2014. However, the networks rarely addressed marijuana-related health or safety risks, despite blunt support for such education among pot advocates.
Leading marijuana advocates, such as those at the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana admit that research into health risks ŌĆ£benefits everybodyŌĆØ and that ŌĆ£impaired drivers [should] be taken off the road.ŌĆØ
Colorado and Washington both legalized recreational marijuana in 2012, and Colorado ushered in commercial pot sales on Jan. 1, 2014. But over six months, including two months leading up to ColoradoŌĆÖs pot sales, and the four months that followed the networks focused heavily on marijuana legalization, devoting 30 minutes and 30 seconds in 23 stories.
However, the networks spent only 54 seconds on health risks, ignoring them 97 percent of the time. Similarly, they took only 1 minute and 20 seconds to address stoned driving, ignoring this issue more than 95 percent of the time.
The networks hyped legalization, while concealing possible risks. On Jan. 1, ABC correspondent Clayton Sandell, promoted the economic benefits of marijuana legalization on ŌĆ£World News.ŌĆØ He called it the ŌĆ£Colorado green rush.ŌĆØ That same day, NBCŌĆÖs ŌĆ£Nightly NewsŌĆØ correspondent Gabe Gutierrez called it a ŌĆ£historic dayŌĆØ before declaring that ŌĆ£the world is watching.ŌĆØ
Yet, even marijuana activists agree that the public must be educated on the health and public safety risks of widespread pot use. Rachel Gillette, the Colorado executive director of the pot advocates at the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) told the Los Angeles Times that research ŌĆ£benefits everybodyŌĆØ because ŌĆ£any drugŌĆ" are going to have health risks.ŌĆØ
Mental Health Risks Mentioned in Just 3 Percent of Pot Stories
Marijuana has legitimate health risks and may contribute to mental health problems, but the networks aired only 3 stories mentioning pot-related health risks. Each of these segments briefly mentioned risks and focused on potŌĆÖs dangerous effect on teen users. None of these three stories addressed mental health risks for adult users.
Scientific research has connected marijuana use with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia. The British Royal College of Psychiatrists published a leaflet warning that ŌĆ£regular use of the drug has appeared to double the risk of developing a psychotic episode or long-term schizophrenia.ŌĆØ
The non-profit Erowid Center publishes information on a wide variety of drugs and is widely regarded as promoting drug use. Still, Erowid co-founder Earth Erowid wrote that marijuana use ŌĆ£probably worsens symptoms in some of those vulnerable to psychotic disorders.ŌĆØ
Marijuana may also cause anxiety or panic attacks in some users. Harvard University, in a 2010 newsletter, wrote that ŌĆ£about 20% to 30% of recreational users experience [intense anxiety and panic attacks] after smoking marijuana.ŌĆØ Harvard specified that this is especially common among new users.
A small study just published in The Journal of Neuroscience looked into the way marijuana may alter the brain, according to news reports including USA Today.
While such research does not prove that marijuana use alone causes mental illness, it does show that use can trigger or exacerbate pre-existing mental conditions.
Driving High: Networks Rarely Mention Safe Driving Concerns
Pot legalization has also raised widespread concerns over the risks of users driving stoned. The networks only covered these concerns in four brief stories, spending only 1 minute, 20 seconds on the issue.
One of these segments discussed law enforcement attempts to crack down on stoned driving and the frequency of the problem for almost a minute. But that story was the exception to network coverage, since none of the other three stories were longer than 15 seconds.
Research has indicated that marijuana, while less impairing than alcohol, does negatively affect the userŌĆÖs ability to drive. In February, NPR reported the National Institute on Drug AbusesŌĆÖs Marilyn Huestis saying that stoned drivers ŌĆ£have more trouble staying in lanes, they struggle to do multiple tasks at once.ŌĆØ
Pot advocates agree that driving while stoned is a problem. NORMLŌĆÖs Principles of Responsible Cannabis Use contains the assertion that ŌĆ£Public safety demands not only that impaired drivers be taken off the roads, but that objective measures of impairment be developed and used.ŌĆØ
The issue of stoned driving is quite complex and bears discussion. It is difficult to tell if somebody has smoked based on blood or urine samples because, as The New York Times reported marijuana ŌĆ£returns a positive result days or weeks after someone has actually smoked it.ŌĆØ

Blaberus discoidales
Discoid Roaches are, and have been, a popular feeder roach in the US for many years. They are the best known of the non climbing feeder roaches commonly bred as food items for the reptile industry. Both adult male and adult female Discoid Roaches have wings but can not fly. Discoid Roaches are live bearers. They are good breeders but not as prolific breeders as both Orange Headed or Blaptica dubia Roaches. Like all roaches Discoid Roaches have a high meat to shell ratio and immature roaches can be used as feeders at any appropriate size for reptiles and arachnids.
|• Discoid Roaches Can Not Climb
|• Discoid Roaches Have Wings But Can't Fly
|• Adults Grow to Approx 2 Inches
|• Adults Live About 1 Year
|• Discoid Roaches Mature at About 3-4 Months Old

Central Texas Under Flash Flood Watch Through Tuesday Morning
Much of Central Texas, including Bastrop, Burnet, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties, is under a flash flood watch through Tuesday morning. A flash flood watch means flash flooding is possible in or near the watch area.
The National Weather Service says parts of Central Texas can expect between an inch and three inches of rain during the watch period. But isolated patches of up to five inches of rain are not out of the question.
So far, no road closures have been reported because of the rain. But click here for the latest list if road closures are necessary.

Yesterday Facebook announced and implemented its changes to the terminology used to become a "Fan" of a "Fan Page".
In turn ruining all current marketing materials owners of fan pages use that reference anything related to becoming a fan, or being "FANatic", much like some t-shirts I had printed for a local fan page I manage.
Fan Pages are now simply known as "Pages" and instead of becoming a "Fan", a person simply "Likes" a "Page".
Here's Facebook's reason for the change:
"Why did "Become a Fan" change to "Like"?
To improve your experience and promote consistency across the site, we've changed the language for Pages from "Fan" to "Like." We believe this change offers you a more light-weight and standard way to connect with people, things and topics in which you are interested."
My Thoughts on Facebook's Change
The change in terminology doesn't affect the functionality of the process, but I believe it will cause those that normally wouldn't have become a fan, to now connect with Pages they "Like".
The change will increase the number of people connected to a Page, which benefits the business or person running the page, aside from having to redo all marketing materials.
But will it make Facebook users feel manipulated into connecting with a Page that will in turn occupy the users' wall with unwanted updates?
I think Facebook's reasons for the changes leave something to be desired. It's obvious the changes support "Page" owners (who will often spend money on advertising with Facebook), rather than the Facebook users (who typically might not spend a dime on Facebook).
What are your thoughts on Facebook's changes to their Pages?
