Those who braved the icy sleet, wind and cold to attend Friday's opening of the "Preservation of a Culture: The Art of Jonathan Green Poster Collection Exhibition" at the South Side Community Art Center (SSCAC) were for awhile transported to a warm and sunny place.
The center, located at 3831 S. Michigan Ave., was transformed by Green's vibrant works with sun-drenched scenes set along the southeast coast. The rare, 30-poster collection will be exhibited through March 1 and is a major event of SSCAC's celebration of its 70th anniversary. The collection is a gift to the center from Green.
"We are so excited to be celebrating 70 years of having kept our doors open," said Diane Dinkins Carr, president of the SSCAC board of directors. "It's an honor to have Jonathan Green, a longtime friend of the South Side Community Art Center, be a part of this celebration."
A native son of rural South Carolina and one of seven children, Green grew up in an area populated by the descendants of West African slaves, who settled on the Sea Islands. Here, these African people, preserved their cultural practices, foods and "Gullah" language. Sweet grass baskets—handwoven in the West African tradition and sought by collectors throughout the country—remain a major testament to the artistry of the Gullah people.
The 54-year-old Green, who received a bachelor of fine arts degree from the School of the Art Institute Chicago, distinguished himself as the first artist of Gullah ancestry to train at a professional art school. He would gain acclaim by selecting the familiar images of his rich community as subjects for his paintings.
The posters in the Chicago exhibition represent the wonder of Green's ability to capture simple activities, such as daily chores, rituals or celebrations and immortalize these moments. His brilliant colors, multi-hued skin tones, wide-brimmed straw hats, summer skies and billowing fabrics are hallmarks of his compelling aesthetic.
In Chicago for a week's worth of activities, Green chatted exuberantly with admirers at the Feb. 5 opening reception while signing copies of the book "Gullah Images: The Art of Jonathan Green" (University of South Carolina Press, 1996) and commemorative posters marking the SSCAC's anniversary.
He spent time earlier that day at a rehearsal for "Off the Wall and Onto the Stage: Dancing the Art of Jonathan Green" the acclaimed ballet celebrating his work, that will be performed at the Harris Theater, 205 E. Randolph St., Feb. 27 at 7:30 p.m. (see details below). It's the Chicago premiere of the show that was first staged by the Columbia (South Carolina) City Ballet in 2005.
"The dancers were so high backstage—the energy level it requires is incredible," explained Green. "It's a challenging performance—the velocity of the movement is so intense. This is the 20th performance and I've loved every one of them, but I just want everyone to get through it and to be able to take a breath!"
The South Side Community Art Center, established in 1938 by a group of prolific trailblazers of the arts that included Margaret Burroughs, Charles White and Archibald Motley, was one of the few places where black artists could exhibit their work and engage in critical discourse. Green, according to Dinkins Carr and others, has talked frequently about the important role the SSCAC played for him--a young man from the south studying at the SAIC.

Thought provoking article.
I had to stop and read "Goosebumps" twice, the down-to-earth notion of human touch mixed with quality content, is something to ponder and keep trying.
I selected this article by Bryan Kramer because it absolutely speaks to me and many of you!
Today's modern day curator is a curator of knowledge. We have come to rely on the best to tell us what is good and what isn't. Their history of shares heightens their status in some cases to social connoisseur, a title not easily earned.
Bryan asks this question: Have you ever read something that made you stop and think... and you saved it? You're a collector. The question is, how do you move from collector, to connoisseur?
There are 5 great takeaways in this piece......
Here's what caught my attention:
Understand the Shelf Life - News will always serve a purpose, but today's news only last seconds. To build a story around something that drives a different perspective is what drives new opinions, conversations and communities. What you share reflects on your beliefs, so add something that lasts longer than a retweet.

Shotgun Weddings(& Compromising Positions)
Shotgun Weddings are marriages that are brought about either because
the bride is pregnant or because she has been hopelessly compromised. A
third party may force the protagonists to marry (with or without weapon
in hand), or the protagonists may be forced by their own sense of honor,
and the knowledge that repercussion on themselves and their families
would be severe if they did not marry. Marital relations are assumed
since this is a regular marriage, only coerced. This list is an off-shoot of the Arranged Marriages list.

As a mental health professional, I find the storms raging at Georgetown and Oberlin University regarding Christina Hoff Sommers' visit and speech as "triggering" and traumatizing to be beyond bizarre. My objective as a mental health professional is to empower people, to enable them to overcome trauma in order to live as fully as possible, to not be burdened by symptoms of depression or anxiety and to not let the entirety of their lives be dictated by a single trauma or even multiple traumas.
Do trigger-warning, safe-room advocates at colleges not believe that it betters people to overcome pain and move on, or is it truly their belief that no one, at any time, must ever expose a traumatized person to an opinion that differs from theirs on "triggering" topics in case they may become upset? It is impossible to control the world in such a way.
Perhaps the attempt to protect one set of victims by silencing or cancelling speakers may actually be "triggering" to another group of people, such as those individuals who have personally been victims of totalitarianism, kangaroo courts or punitive re-education, who are reminded of the fear brought about by not being allowed to voice their opinions and hear diverse viewpoints or face political prison. Is there a safe place on campus for those students who are re-traumatized by the attempt to shut down speakers or demand only "correct" speech?
People who have been in car accidents may be "triggered" by traffic or certain types of cars. People who have been mugged may be "triggered" by people resembling the attacker or by certain streets. People who have been at war may be "triggered" by the news or certain sounds. People can be reminded of loss by a song, a phone call, a book—in fact, by anything. Everyone who lives has faced loss and trauma of some sort. The longer we live the more loss or trauma we experience due to deaths of loved ones or other challenges. Some people have had substantially more than their fair share of trauma.

Welcome, skip to the content.
The Gallery has a long association with
the Lindsay family of Creswick - five of the 10 children of Dr
Robert Lindsay and his wife Jane went on to become well-recognised
The Lindsay children regularly visited
the Gallery with their grandfather and the Gallery had a
significant influence on their later careers.
In 1966, Mary Lindsay, the last of the
family to live in Creswick, bequeathed a collection of family
material to the Gallery, as well as funds to acquire more Lindsay
artworks. The bequest included Lindsay artworks, photographs and
papers as well as the contents of the Creswick drawing room. The
drawing room of the house has been recreated in the Gallery - a
condition of the bequest.

Your cat might demonstrate this in any or all of the following ways: Pawing at his mouth or rubbing his face against furniture Drooling; the drool may be tinged with blood Avoiding food completely, or trying to eat, but stopping abruptly or crying when eating Ceasing to groom himself Thinkstock Because the pain makes eating difficult, your cat may be losing weight. In addition, his breath will smell bad, and his gums may look red and inflamed. You also may notice other behavioral changes: Your cat may act aggressively, particularly when you touch him or offer food. He may hide under furniture, an instinctive reaction (in the wild, an injured or ill cat takes cover to avoid becoming a target for predators). Share this Article: Print

Full text not available from this repository.

Surgical navigation, though well-established, is often associated with extra effort for both patient and surgeon, and with additional exposure to radiation as a result of the necessary extra imaging. Osteoblastoma is a benign bone tumour, malignant transformation of which is rare but possible, and so resection is indicated. The orbit with surrounding structures is a challenging region for accurate three-dimensional reconstruction. A virtual plan based on the patient's mirrored anatomy realised by intraoperative navigation can assist in achieving perfect results. An 8-year-old boy presented with a huge osteoblastoma of the frontal and temporal skull. The tumour had extracranial and intracranial parts, and reached into the orbital roof and the sphenoid and ethmoid bones. The ethmoid sinus was involved, the eye was displaced, and he had functional problems. Virtual planning and navigation were prepared without the need for any additional imaging. The tumour was resected through a coronal approach, and immediately reconstructed with an autologous calvarial split graft, designed and positioned under navigation with a preoperative plan that was based on the mirrored healthy side. Surgical navigation based on a virtual plan can achieve symmetrical results, particularly when dealing with complex three-dimensional anatomy. Navigation does not necessarily mean additional procedures or imaging. We think that virtual planning and navigation are useful for selected cases.

According to TSN, former Calgary Stampeder quarterback Mike McCoy recorded his first playoff victory on Sunday as the San Diego Chargers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 27-10.
A major reason for the Chargers' victory was the number of mistakes made by the Bengals. Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton threw for two interceptions, while Dalton and Bengals running back Giovani Bernard each recorded a key fumble.
The Chargers displayed outstanding defense throughout the contest and prevented the Bengals from finishing any sustained drives in the second half. Chargers linebacker Donald Butler had an outstanding game. He had nine tackles and a forced fumble.
With the victory, San Diego will now play the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional Playoff Game from the Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. MT. The Chargers beat the Broncos in the regular season 27-20 on December 12.

|Cloud computing systems (e.g., hosting datacenters) have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. Utility computing, reliable data storage, and infrastructure-independent computing are example applications of such systems. Operational cost in these systems is highly dependent on the resource management algorithms used to assign virtual machines (VMs) to physical servers and possibly migrate them in case of power and thermal emergencies. Energy non-proportionality of IT devices in a datacenter, cooling system inefficiency, and power delivery network constraints should be considered by the resource management algorithms in order to minimize the energy cost as much as possible. Scalability of the resource assignment solution is one of the biggest concerns in designing these algorithms. This thesis examines the resource management problem in datacenters. First a centralized datacenter resource management is proposed, which considers service level agreements (SLAs) in VM placement in order to minimize the total operational cost of the datacenter. Second, a hierarchical SLA-based resource management structure is proposed, which considers the peak power constraints and cooling-related power consumption in addition to the scalability issue. The proposed hierarchical structure fits the hierarchical resource distribution in datacenters. The proposed structure is suitable to track and react to dynamic changes inside the datacenter to satisfy SLA constraints and avoid emergencies. Third, a load balancing algorithm to minimize the operational cost of a multi-datacenter cloud system is presented. Load balancing creates an opportunity to reduce the operational cost of the cloud system considering dynamic energy pricing and availability of green renewable power plants in a datacenter site.

UNT Research Home | Initiatives
With glass greenhouses that glow above its roofline and fish nestled in hundreds of tanks, UNT's new Life Sciences Complex is a "living lab" where the study of plants and fish yield clues to solving human maladies.
But it's more than a cutting-edge research facility. It's a sign of what's to come on UNT's path to becoming a major research university.
UNT is transforming its environment from the inside out. The university has created new facilities, renovated its existing space and boosted its computational power to give faculty and students the latest tools to carry out innovative research, art and scholarship.
"As UNT matures into a major research university, we'll continue to focus on creating environments that combine the best of research and learning, because you can't have one without the other if you want to be a truly great university," President V. Lane Rawlins says. "World-class facilities help us develop knowledge and solutions for tomorrow, not just pass along yesterday's understanding."
UNT has a great combination of excellence and potential, says Vishwanath "Vish" Prasad, vice president of research and economic development. The university can capitalize on its long-held strengths in the sciences, which include a 100-year-old chemistry program, a nearly 90-year-old biological sciences program, and a 75-year legacy in the environmental sciences. At the same time, UNT is shaping its young engineering and technology programs to be leading collaborative research programs from the outset, Prasad says. And with UNT's nearly 290-acre research park, Discovery Park, offering the potential for incubation and technology commercialization, UNT can be a research hub like no other.
"By building cutting-edge facilities that support innovative, collaborative research, we're creating new areas of excellence for the university while making important advances in health, science, technology, agriculture, the environment and so much more," Prasad says.
Opened this fall, the $33.2 million Life Sciences Complex is a modern research facility with open labs that promote collaboration and learning.
The complex combines the existing classrooms and labs of the Biology Building with a new 87,000-square-foot building of additional research space. It furthers UNT's impact in aquatic organisms and plant sciences research, much of which is carried out through the Developmental Physiology and Genetics cluster and the Signaling Mechanisms in Plants cluster.
In the Developmental Physiology and Genetics cluster, researchers study developmental physiology and genetics from the molecular to organism levels, collaborating to better understand the mechanics of developing organisms.
The aquatics lab enables researchers to study a wide range of human health issues, from blood clots and oxygen deprivation to aging, diabetes and cancer. It houses more than 2,500 tanks and tens of thousands of saltwater and freshwater fish making the facility one of the largest aquatic university labs in the nation.
The freshwater facility is essential to the cluster's ability to perform and expand research using zebrafish, Danio rerio, as a well-established model for studying thrombosis, tissue hypoxia and hemostasis to address questions in human trauma and cardiovascular disease. The saltwater facility is used to help conduct research to understand how environmental and anthropogenic stress affects aquatic ecosystems and ultimately the fish food supply. The facility also supports research important to the effects of climate change on ocean ecosystems, fisheries and aquaculture, as well as work on critical problems in conservation physiology, such as ocean acidification.
"The aquatics lab will place UNT on the national map," says Pudur "Jag" Jagadeeswaran, professor of biology who is in charge of the freshwater lab and is conducting research on zebrafish. "Our research on aquatic organisms is already recognized, and expanding the facility will give us even more prestige."
At the same time, the four rooftop greenhouses support technologically advanced plant science research that will seek to increase agricultural productivity.
The greenhouses provide 1,800 square feet of climate-controlled space. Hot crops such as cotton, tobacco, corn and kanaf will be grown separately from cold crops, such as alfalfa, winter wheat, strawberries and Arabidopsis.
Already, UNT's biochemists and molecular biologists are known for their research focusing on signaling mechanisms in plants, or understanding the way plant cells communicate, to find solutions to issues relating to energy, agriculture, nutrition and medicine.
Understanding signaling processes can help regulate crop yield and resistance to pathogens, insects and other adverse environmental conditions such as drought and heat stress. For instance, researchers could engineer crops so that fewer environmentally dangerous pesticides are needed or better fortify existing foods such as rice with more minerals and nutrients.
Focusing more on collaborative, multidisciplinary research and the resources that go with it has spurred on faculty research and has helped the university attract other prominent researchers, including two internationally known plant scientists, Vladimir Shulaev and Ron Mittler, who joined UNT this fall because of its growth as a research university and its new facilities.
"UNT is entering an exciting stage in its development and could potentially become one of the leading research institutes in plant signaling in the country," Mittler says. "I was highly impressed with the commitment, dedication and motivation of the higher administration and faculty to this mission. I feel that if this trend continues, there is a great future for UNT."
Warren Burggren, provost and vice president for academic affairs, says UNT's strategic investments will continue to signal progress to the world.
"As the saying goes, 'If you build it, they will come,'" Burggren says. "People see that we're investing in our programs and our people and that we're on the path to something greater."
The Life Sciences Complex also is giving UNT a new set of green credentials. With eco-friendly features, the four-story complex is on track to be UNT's first building to receive gold-level Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification, meaning it adheres to strict environmental standards.
One of UNT's more notable new research facilities is not a building, but a supercomputer that enables researchers to do more complex calculations and work with large data sets so they can perform invaluable research in fields ranging from aeronautics to carbon sequestration and experimental music and art.
Providing a tenfold increase in computational power, the new Talon High-Performance Computing System has helped UNT expand its reach in computation-based research.
Talon is made up of 224 separate computer servers and has 200 terabytes of storage, which is enough to house 10 copies of all of the books in the Library of Congress or 40,000 DVDs. And it operates at a speed of 20 teraflops.
Among the many users of Talon are faculty in computational chemistry, computational epidemiology, bioinformatics, physics, mathematics, biology, materials science, and mechanical and energy engineering.
Talon has played an important role in attracting new faculty such as Qunfeng Dong, a bioinformatics professor in the Developmental Physiology and Genetics cluster who holds a joint appointment in biological sciences and computer science and engineering. Dong, who was drawn to UNT for its excellent environment, knew that with Talon, he would have more than adequate computational resources for his research.
Already, Talon has given Dong and his collaborators a competitive edge. They recently won a grant in bioinformatics from the National Institutes of Health based on critical data that Talon helped them to generate.
UNT's $6 million Nanofabrication Analysis and Research Facility will be one of the most advanced university laboratories for materials synthesis and analysis and micro/nano device fabrication. Construction on the facility began in fall 2010 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2011.
NARF, which is funded in part by a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation, will integrate the federally funded Center for Advanced Research and Technology with a new clean room (class 10,000 and class 100) at Discovery Park.
NARF will allow scientists to synthesize and process new materials and then test and examine them at the molecular and atomic levels using CART's 27 state-of-the-art instruments and microscopes. CART is one of the nation's most extensive facilities for multi-scale materials characterization and analysis.
The CART instruments will be housed in 10 contiguous research laboratories encompassing about 5,500 square feet. The renovated space will be equipped with vibration isolation pads and electric field isolation cages to ensure optimum performance of the instrumentation. The new 3,000-square-foot clean room will be located immediately adjacent to the renovated area.
When NARF is complete, UNT scientists will be able to synthesize and process samples of new materials and devices in the new clean room and transfer them to the advanced characterization equipment in CART under controlled atmospheric conditions, as needed. Using the array of instruments available, scientists will be able to see three-dimensional images of semiconductor devices and test materials at near-atomic to atomic resolution.
With a unique open design and features allowing remote, real-time display of research activities, the lab will promote research collaboration and science education around the world.
The space will be wired to allow scientists at other sites to see images from the microscopes immediately via their computers and, in certain cases, to actually control the operation of the instrument remotely.
NARF was designed to foster learning as much as research. Research activities could be transmitted in real-time to schools and museums for better scientific understanding among students and the public. And with the equipment protected by glass wall enclosures, visitors will be able to see it and the research under way.
"Like many of our new buildings, this facility will showcase what already makes UNT a leader and gives us the tools to expand our reach," Prasad says. "When you build for the future, you build for what could be, not just what is."

Whitaker Introduced As Lady Raider Basketball Head Coach
May 22, 2013
Press Conference Quotes | Photo Gallery | Watch The Press Conference
Candace Whitaker, a two-year letterwinner at Texas Tech and the point guard for a pair of Sweet 16 teams, returns to her alma mater to become the sixth head coach in Lady Raider basketball history.
Texas Tech formally introduced Whitaker in front of a packed room Wednesday in a press conference at the United Spirit Arena.
"I am excited to welcome Candi back to Texas Tech," Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt stated. "It is indeed special to have a former student-athlete return to lead a program that they were a significant part of. Her leadership characteristics as a starting point guard and coach, her ties to West Texas, her experience as a Division I head coach, as well as the fact that she is a Red Raider makes her the perfect fit to lead Lady Raider Basketball into the future."
Whitaker comes home to Texas Tech after spending last season as the associate head coach at Oklahoma State under Jim Littell. Prior to her time in Stillwater, she served as head coach at the University of Missouri-Kansas City for six seasons (2006-2012).
Whitaker's move to the Big 12 Conference and Oklahoma State was preceded by a five-year tenure in Kansas City where she became the school's second-winningest head coach.
"I think Candi Whitaker is a great fit for Texas Tech and Texas Tech is a great fit for her," former Lady Raider Head Coach and Hall of Famer Marsha Sharpsaid. "Her basketball IQ and work ethic are incredible. She came out of one of the best high school programs in the country and was a great point guard at the collegiate level. She made moves early in her career that prepared her for this opportunity."
In 2011-12, she guided the `Roos to one of the most successful seasons in school history, finishing with a 22-12 record. UMKC advanced to the Summit League Tournament title game for the first time since 2005. Whitaker's squad capped the campaign with the program's first-ever appearance in the WNIT.
Additionally, UMKC's win total marked the first time the program eclipsed the 20-win mark since the 1991-92 season.
The 2009-10 campaign saw the `Roos post a 16-16 mark and earn their first-ever postseason berth with a trip to the inaugural Women's Basketball Invitational. Whitaker produced three first-team all-league picks during her time at UMKC and also had 36 student-athletes receive academic all-conference recognition.
The Canyon, Texas native began her coaching career at Valparaiso, where she spent two seasons before joining the staff at UMKC as an assistant coach in 2004. Whitaker took over the program in March of 2007, becoming one of the youngest head coaches in the nation at 26.
Her players followed Whitaker's toughness on the court and in the classroom. All student athletes who completed eligibility under Whitaker at UMKC went on to graduate. Whitaker coached 36 Summit League Academic all-League selections and 14 Distinguished Scholars during her time in Kansas City.
Whitaker's move to Stillwater also marks her return to the Big 12 Conference where she spent two years as a player at Texas Tech under legendary coach Marsha Sharp.
As the Lady Raiders' starting point guard, she directed the team to a pair of Sweet 16 appearances. Prior to her stint in Lubbock, Whitaker played two seasons for current OSU head coach Jim Littell at Seward County (Kan.) Community College. She led the nation in assists during the 1999-2000 season and was also named an honorable mention NJCAA All-American.
Whitaker received her degree in exercise sports science from Texas Tech and also holds a master's degree in sports administration from Valparaiso. She and her husband, Matt, have one child, Westin.

Atomic Mass Units
Yes, but we don't normally use those units for measuring the mass of an atom. It's much more convenient to use something called the atomic mass unit, or amu. That's about the mass of one proton or neutron. Many versions of the periodic table (though not ours) give the atomic masses of the elements in amu; these are average masses, taking into account the different isotopes that exist.
One gram is about 600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 amu (that's 600
sextillion, or a 6 followed by 23 zeros). A pound is just shy of 300
septillion amu--that is, 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000. (26 zeros
Wow--I can see why you'd want to use amu's instead of grams.
If you think about it, what we do today isn't so different from the way
Mendeleev thought of atomic mass. He used the hydrogen atom as a unit--one
oxygen atom has a mass of sixteen hydrogens, and so forth. And the most
common isotope of hydrogen has just one proton and
no neutrons, so one hydrogen atom is about one amu.
What about the mass of the electron in the hydrogen atom?
Electrons are so light that you can usually ignore their mass relative to the
atom as a whole. A proton has about 2000 times the mass of an electron.

No Bake Granola Bites
Sarah Mock
Is it steaming hot in your kitchen?
Are you trying to do everything in your power NOT to turn on the oven?
But you are still craving a healthy granola snack, right?
Just 3 ingredients (all can be found at the Granola Shoppe!) and you are all set to make No Bake Granola Bites.
Honey: We have local Pennsylvania honey in the shoppe. If you are in need of a local honey we have your covered. You know how we feel about supporting local farmers!
Nut Butter: We offer Blind Spot Butters in the shoppe. These nut butters avoid any GMO products or ingredients and use organic sweeteners, ethically sourced nuts and other ingredients! Read more about the Blind Spot Butters Story here...
Granola Basics Box mix: Yes! You can make Nuts About Granola AT HOME! No measuring, minimal mixing, sweeter of your choice and you have made granola at home. But there is so much more you can do with this box mix... like make no bake granola bites!
- Honey: 1/3 cup
- Nut Butter (using the Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel for this recipe): 2/3 cup
- Box Mix: 1 box mix
Warm the nut butter and honey in the microwave for 35 seconds or until it is a pourable consistency.
Stir to combine.
Add the nut butter/honey mixture to the box mix and stir to combine completely.
You may have to use clean hands to massage the ingredients together. It is important that every bit of the oats are covered in nut butter/honey.
Here is why it is important for everything to be thoroughly coated....You are going to be pressing the mixture into silicone molds.
Press and press and press and press. The tighter you can compact the granola bites the better they are going to stay together once they are un-molded.
This recipe made 2 dozen bites with a couple large extras in muffin molds.
Pop into the refrigerator to set up and cool completely. I had them in there for a few hours but they might have been ready before then. I got distracted and forgot to check after an hour.
Pop the no bake granola bites out of the molds!
Store in the refrigerator for best results.
Another recipe you are going to want to check out is the Crockpot Granola Bars recipe.

Netwinder installation suggestions
Ken Woodhams <kwoodhams2 <at> yahoo.ca>
Hi everyone. I've been monitoring the following website for a while now http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/netwinder/ To my despair there aren't any installation or help documents available for this platform so I'm resorting to anyone on these lists who are successfully running Netwinder servers with NetBSD 1.6 It is my understanding that in order for the Netwinder firmware to boot NetBSD, the boot partition must be linux ex2fs. Is it a good idea to make the entire root / partition ex2fs (which will contain the netbsd kernel)? If not then what do you guys recommend? Should it just contain the kernel, anything else? I also remember reading that one of the network interfaces isn't supported by NetBSD. Is that still the case? Any other help or tips would be greatly appreciated, especially stories about any (in)stability issues. I would like to use this Netwinder as a small mail server (5-6 users) running Postfix and Cyrus-IMAPD. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca

Proposal to fix booted_kernel on shark.
<toddpw <at> toddpw.org>
NetBSD/shark is now ELF, but the firmware only reads a.out. Copy both kernels to /, no problem. Understandably, machdep.booted_kernel reports "netbsd.aout" however, and groveling programs now fail because they expected an ELF kernel. Proposed solution is to strip the .aout suffix, under the assumption that an ELF kernel without that suffix will usually be available in the same place, and if it isn't, we're probably screwed anyway. --- shark_machdep.c.orig Fri May 3 14:28:11 2002 +++ shark_machdep.c Sat Jan 18 21:21:06 2003 <at> <at> -392,10 +392,17 <at> <at> return; cp = strrchr(boot_component, ':'); if (cp != NULL) { + int cplen; *cp++ = '\0'; if (cp[0] == '\\') cp++; booted_kernel = cp; + + /* Zap ".aout" suffix since we only grok ELF now. */ + cplen = strlen(cp); + if (cplen > 5 && !strcmp(&cp[cplen-5], ".aout")) { + cp[cplen-5] = '\0'; + } } } Tested good against 1.6 on my shark. The diff above is against -current from this evening, after applying the 1.6 diff successfully using patch. Any suggestions before I commit? -- -- Todd Whitesel toddpw <at> toddpw.org

Improving the arm32 pmap
Steve Woodford <scw <at> wasabisystems.com>
Hi, I'm sure this is something which has a number of people have toyed with for quite some time now, with varying degrees of success. As it happens, Wasabi have allocated a bunch of my time and given me the resources to have a good crack at optimising the arm32 pmap, whether through a wholesale re-write or just bending the existing code into shape. I know some of you have already whacked on the pmap a bit, and Chris Gilbert has already given me some of his experimental changes to look over. So, I'm soliciting opinions on what's wrong with the existing pmap, and suggestions on either how to bend existing code into shape, or how to do things differently/better with new code. For example: Problem: - L1 page tables are "per process", and their allocation requires 16KB contig/aligned RAM. It's hard to allocate new L1 tables, given those constraints, which often leads to L1 starvation. - L1 page tables are also zeroed whenever they are allocated to a pmap. The kernel's descriptors are also copied over every time. Solutions: - Make use of the mmu's "domain" feature as a primitive form of ASID. This allows L1 tables to be shared between multiple pmaps by doing "lazy" fixup of user L1 entries at fault time. - Allocate a fixed, smaller, number of static L1 tables at boot time. - Kernel always uses domain "0", which is always enabled. The kernel's L1 descriptors are hardwired in all L1s at boot time. Of course, if someone has tried the "domain" approach before, I'm all ears.

Mark Hanna
Election of 1896
McKinley's home, with the front porch where McKinley delivered speeches
The Republicans met first, nominating former Ohio governor William McKinley. McKinley appointed Mark Hanna, a political boss from Ohio, as his campaign manager. No one had ever hired a manager for a campaign but Hanna took his new position serious, organizing McKinley's campaign down to the smallest detail, creating many still-used techniques. Hanna raised $10 million and brought people to Canton, Ohio, on trains to listen to McKinley give speeches. McKinley did not have to leave his front porch. The Republican platform called for pro-business, pro-Northeast measures, including a protective tariff and the gold standard.
When the Democrats convened they introduced dramatic changes to their previous political philosophy. Rejecting Grover Cleveland as a possible candidate, the Democrats wrote a platform favoring the South, West, farmers, and reform. Adopting several of the more moderate Populist platform planks, Democrats supported free silver, an income tax, more aggressive breaking of trusts, and stronger regulation of railroads. The Democratic party chose William Jennings Bryan, a 36 year-old congressman from Nebraska, as their nominee.

William Jennings Bryan
Because the Democrats adopted free silver, the Populists faced a dilemma. If they nominated their own free silver candidate, the vote would be split and the Republicans would win easily. To prevent this, the Populists also nominated William Jennings Bryan (with a different vice presidential nominee). William Jennings Bryan was a dynamic speaker who travelled thousands of miles by train giving speeches to reach voters across the nation.
Democratic campaign poster
Did you know?
William Jennings Bryan was actually a delegate to the 1896 Democratic convention. The convention was divided over several issues, including the issue of free silver and whom to choose as the nominee. At a debate over monetary policy, Bryan spoke on the issue of free silver. He delivered an oration known as the "Cross of Gold" speech. Speaking against the gold standard, Bryan ended by stating:
If they dare to come out in the open field and defend the gold standard as a good thing, we shall fight them to the uttermost, having behind us the producing masses of the nation and the world. Having behind us the commercial interests and the laboring interests and all the toiling masses, we shall answer their demands for a gold standard by saying to them, you shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.
His powerful speech electrified the crowd and led to his nomination for president.
Web Field Trip
William Jennings Bryan repeated his speech many times over the years, and segments of it were recorded in 1921. Listen to Bryan deliver portions of his famous "Cross of Gold" speech at the Earliest Voices website.
The election of 1896 exposed three fundamental divisions in American society::
- business versus farming
- conservative-minded versus reform-minded
- city versus rural
- gold versus silver
The Significance of the Election of 1896
More so than any election since Rutherford B. Hayes' 1876 victory ended Reconstruction, the election of 1896 had long-term consequences. The Populists' decision to join the Democrats, and their combined loss, signaled the end of the Populist Party. Eventually prosperity returned to the United States and the depression ended. The Democratic Party made a major shift, changing from Grover Cleveland's laissez faire, conservative style of leadership to a reform-oriented party. It never returned to a conservative platform. The push for reform started by the Populists did not end in 1896. Widespread calls for reforms returned with the Progressives a decade later, and several tenants of the Populist platform eventually became law.

Sunday evening, Te Deum Antiqua presented "A Mother's Song," an all Latin, unaccompanied vocal program, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. True to the group's name, all music was 17th Century or earlier. True to the group's stated goal, it was, "historically informed early music."
In his performance notes, Artistic Director, Matthew Christopher Shepard accounted for variations in Latin pronunciation in various parts of Europe and various centuries. Perhaps the most notable variant was in the dona nobis pacem of William Byrd's Mass for Three Voices; the cem was pronounced sem rather than the most commonplace chem. With no one at that time speaking Latin as a primary language, there was no absolute pronunciation authority; it was natural for the English to give the ce an English sound.
Tonight's ensemble consisted of five male singers: Jay Carter (counter tenor) tenors Andrew Childs and Bryan Pinkall; David Farwig, Bass; and Artistic Director, Christopher Matthew Christopher Shepard, who directed and sang some baritone range parts.
Liber Usualis is "a book of commonly used Gregorian chants in the Catholic tradition, compiled by the [Benedictine] monks of the Abbey of Solesmes in France" (Wikipedia). The preferred editions have a copyright of 1956 or later because they include some added liturgy.
An Ave Maria from the Liber Usualis sung by all five voices began the evening. The singers kept the tempo up, adhered to stress rules set by the Benedictines, and provided a perfectly fine musical experience for the audience as well as the singers.
Ave Regina Coelorum by Guillaume Dufay (c. 1485/1500) was sung by three of the singers, Misters Carter, Pinkall and Shepard. Carefully tuned open fourths and fifths indicated the antiquity of the music, just an historical step beyond parallel organum (no sweet Lennon Sisters' thirds and sixths here). Carefully avoided at the time was the tritone, the basis of the second to the last chord in most modern cadences. It was considered the devil in music. Listeners were free to close their eyes and enjoy the trip back in time.
Dr. Childs sang the incipit of Dufay's Ave Maris Stella, which Dufay extracted directly from the Liber Usualis, and and verses in between the contrapuntal open-harmonized sections where he was joined by Misters Carter and Shepard.
Dufay's Salve Regina employed the countertenor in the incipit and as a floating part over the busier lower contrapuntal voices.
After intermission, the program consisted of William Byrd's (1540-1623) Mass for Three Voices. As is most common, Byrd only composed the ordinary of the Mass, the parts that are not specific to a certain calendar day: Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus & Benedictus, and Agnus Dei. The Introit, Gradual, Alleluia, Offertory, and Communion were taken from the mass for Marian feast days in the Liber, and the Ite, missa est (Go, the mass is ended) was appropriate for the Paschal (Easter season). Interspersing the harmonized Byrd parts with the monodic Gregorian Chant was both historically accurate and pleasing to the ear, an ebb and flow.
The singers were highly interactive, looking toward the one who would start the next section, and joining with their own parts. Byrd maintained an initial Liber incipit for each section, provided by a warm, mellow Dr. Childs and, twice, by a more celebratory Mr. Shepard. The ensemble was remarkably fine in terms of diction, tuning and text. The use of the single countertenor voice for the highest treble voice gave a different kind of weight to that part than the treble boy singers for whom it was composed.

Jane Eyre: stage adaptation of Bronte's classic
Bristol Old Vic's take on Jane Eyre is 'costume drama, but not as we know it', say the critics
What you need to know
An adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's classic novel, Jane Eyre, has opened at the Old Vic theatre in Bristol. The four-and-a-half hour staging, directed by Sally Cookson, is divided into two parts which can either be seen over two nights or on the same day as a matinee followed by a performance in the evening.
The story is a coming-of-age tale that follows the eponymous character from her school days through to adulthood when she finds love with the "charismatic yet vulnerable" Mr Rochester.
The theatrical version is directed by Sally Cookson with music by Benji Bower and stars Madeleine Worrall as Jane. Runs until March 29.
What the critics like
"It is costume drama, but not as we know it," says Dominic Maxwell in The Times. In spite of the age of the source material, the show holds the audience's attention from start to finish. "Newcomers and Bronte-holics alike will be gripped, amused and moved by a boldly theatrical show," Maxwell says.
Most compelling of all is the music by Benji Bower, which travels through an eclectic range of styles, says Charles Spencer in The Telegraph. From folk tunes and hymns to "electronic minimalism".
The simple staging contrasts excellently with the complex emotion the play manages to evoke, says The Guardian's Lyn Gardner. Michael Vale's "design of wooden platforms and metal ladders" offers a stark simplicity, but the play itself has "a beating, passionate heart".
What they don't like
The length of the production means that the show "suffers from an occasional loss of energy in the pacing", Gardner says.
On the whole the cast do an excellent job bringing the book to life, but some of the actors evidently understand their characters better than others, the Bristol Post says. Felix Hayes's Rochester was "satisfying enough", but the role demands considerable subtlety, and "merely shouting a line does not mean that we believe he is actually angry".
