Memory Ordering in Modern Microprocessors, Part II
The first installment of this series was an overview of memory barriers, why they are needed in SMP kernels and how the Linux kernel handles them [August 2005]. This installment gives an overview of how several of the more popular CPUs—Alpha, AMD64, IA64, PA-RISC, POWER, SPARC, x86 and zSeries, otherwise known as IBM mainframe—implement memory barriers. Table 1 is reproduced here from the first installment of this series for reference.
It may seem strange to say much of anything about a CPU whose end of life has been announced, but Alpha is interesting because, with the weakest memory-ordering model, it reorders memory operations the most aggressively. It therefore has defined the Linux kernel memory-ordering primitives that must work on all CPUs. Understanding Alpha, therefore, is surprisingly important to the Linux kernel hacker.
The difference between Alpha and the other CPUs is illustrated by the code shown in Listing 1. This smp_wmb() on line 9 guarantees that the element initialization in lines 6–8 is executed before the element is added to the list on line 10, so that the lock-free search works correctly. That is, it makes this guarantee on all CPUs except Alpha.
Alpha has extremely weak memory ordering, such that the code on line 20 of Listing 1 could see the old garbage values that were present before the initialization on lines 6–8.
Figure 1 shows how this can happen on an aggressively parallel machine with partitioned caches, so that alternating cache lines are processed by the different partitions of the caches. Assume that the list header head is processed by cache bank 0 and the new element is processed by cache bank 1. On Alpha, the smp_wmb() guarantees that the cache invalidation performed by lines 6–8 of Listing 1 reaches the interconnect before that of line 10. But, it makes absolutely no guarantee about the order in which the new values reach the reading CPU's core. For example, it is possible that the reading CPU's cache bank 1 is busy, while cache bank 0 is idle. This could result in the cache invalidates for the new element being delayed, so that the reading CPU gets the new value for the pointer but sees the old cached values for the new element.
One could place an smp_rmb() primitive between the pointer fetch and dereference. However, this imposes unneeded overhead on systems such as x86, IA64, PPC and SPARC that respect data dependencies on the read side. An smp_read_barrier_depends() primitive has been added to the Linux 2.6 kernel to eliminate overhead on these systems. This primitive may be used as shown on line 19 of Listing 2. However, please note that RCU code should use rcu_dereference() instead.
It also is possible to implement a software barrier that could be used in place of smp_wmb(), which would force all reading CPUs to see the writing CPU's writes in order. However, this approach was deemed by the Linux community to impose excessive overhead on extremely weakly ordered CPUs, such as Alpha. This software barrier could be implemented by sending interprocessor interrupts (IPIs) to all other CPUs. Upon receipt of such an IPI, a CPU would execute a memory-barrier instruction, implementing a memory-barrier shoot-down. Additional logic is required to avoid deadlocks. Of course, CPUs that respect data dependencies would define such a barrier simply to be smp_wmb(). Perhaps this decision should be revisited in the future when Alpha fades off into the sunset.
Listing 1. Insert and Lock-Free Search
1 struct el *insert(long key, long data) 2 { 3 struct el *p; 4 p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), GPF_ATOMIC); 5 spin_lock(&mutex); 6 p->next = head.next; 7 p->key = key; 8 p->data = data; 9 smp_wmb(); 10 head.next = p; 11 spin_unlock(&mutex); 12 } 13 14 struct el *search(long key) 15 { 16 struct el *p; 17 p = head.next; 18 while (p != &head) { 19 /* BUG ON ALPHA!!! */ 20 if (p->key == key) { 21 return (p); 22 } 23 p = p->next; 24 }; 25 return (NULL); 26 }
The Linux memory-barrier primitives took their names from the Alpha instructions, so smp_mb() is mb, smp_rmb() is rmb and smp_wmb() is wmb. Alpha is the only CPU where smp_read_barrier_depends() is an smp_mb() rather than a no-op. For more detail on Alpha, see the reference manual, listed in the on-line Resources.
memory addressing question
First...Loved your article.
I hope I am not bothering you. But I have a question regarding
memory addressing in Linux.
As I have read ( Mel Gorman's book ) a virtual address in kernel space bellow the first 896 MB is simply an offset PAGE_OFFSET which is stored in the DS register.
So when the cpu wishes to aproach it he substracts this value from the address when he is in kernel mode.
Well if he does, how can the processor tell between a vmalloc virtual
address ( 896 to 1GB) in kernel space to a virtual address in kernel
space ( bellow the 896 MB) ?
Furthermore , If I boot my linux ( An Intel machine, T42 IBM laptop ) using only part of the memory ( boot mem=400M out of 512M) , I would not be able to address addresses above 400 MB .
I tried to memcpy to address above 400 MB and I crashed.
So i realy have no idea where i am wrong.
I would most appreciate your kind help.
Thank you.
I am looking for some information/articles regarding how dows the CPU actually approaches the memory.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

"I ran out of time to get a Christmas card put together, but I knew I wanted to send a New Year's card in its place. Found the perfect card with just the right printed text and it was great to have lots of options on adding photos. Icing on the cake was how quickly the order arrived.....much faster than I thought. Thank you, Tiny Prints!!"
"Our image was formatted to fit before placing it into the template. Photo was taken on an iPhone and the printed lazer print cards were PERFECT! so unusual unlike any of our friends cards and lovely because of its one sided/postcard like style allowed me to write a little personal message on the back! If you purchase this you will not be disappointed!"
"These cards turned out GREAT! Love the design...we used it for a Christmas/pregnancy announcement by putting an ultrasound picture in the small box. PERFECT design for that!"
"It was my very first order on Tiny Prints, based on a friend's referral. I created our Greeting card over the weekend, and it was delivered the next Wednesday! When you know I am based in Japan, it sounds pretty amazing. The card looks exactly as on picture, the quality of the paper is what I expected, the envelops (FREE!) are great too. I am extremely happy and can't wait to order again - despite the hefty shipping fees, the only downside if you ask me, but it's always the case if you aren't based in the US."
"Perfect, we loved it and so did everyone else. I used a photo editor app on my phone to create it. I only wish you had it as an option. Great job.Looking forward to future projects from you."

Thanks for the really quick turnaround on the PHP warning, and thanks for developing this great plugin.
I've noticed that this plugin however loads .js and .css files on every single WordPress page, even if there is no podcast on the page.
In addition, I show podpress/players/1pixelout/1pixelout_audio-player.js loading twice on my site.
Is it possible to only load them on pages where there is a podcast?

Open air cinema in Berlin is a hot topic during the summer, even in mild spring. There is a high competition to find the best cinema under the stars. Normally you will find them in large open places, without any seats at the beginning and quickly filled by deckchairs. It is different in Freiluftkino Mitte, it is a real cinema without a roof.
As a tourist you will probably end up in Mitte, walk around in Hackescher Markt and there's a great chance you'll walk down a passage still heavily decorated by posters and colorful paintings on the walls after passing by Café Cinema. Usually people stop in front of the robot/sculpture in front of the bar and at the door of the Kino Central. What you may not know is that this cinema runs a small open air cinema one backyard further! I noticed it once while going to the cinema, wondering why people were queuing in front of the back door.
Before the movie starts the doors to the backyard are opened and a minibar is waiting for you. Seats are already there. Compared to the other open air cinemas in Berlin, this one has an interesting program, full of old or recent classics, without any blockbusters and they show the movies in their original language. I really like this atypical open air cinema, you feel at home, it is like watching a movie on your balcony.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
There are plenty of apartments within close proximity to the University, and the rental process is very easy. Many apartments require a guarantor to also sign the lease, but not all do. Prices vary but most traditional apartments and townhomes range from $300 to $600. Many students say the price of rent is definitely worth the extra freedom, space, and privacy they get, and many live with friends to split the bills, so the cost isn't horrible.
The availability of off-campus is excellent. Tallahassee is a college town through and through and offers a high number of living options for all the students who call the city home during the school year. The quality of the apartments varies, but most come furnished; students can request unfurnished apartments if they have furniture of their own. Lots of students enjoy living off campus, but it's recommended that freshmen live on campus for their first year so they can enjoy the campus lifestyle.

The Federal Reserve did not raise short-term interest rates in the first quarter of 2016. The central bank kept the fed funds target rate in the 0.25% to 0.50% range that it established when it raised rates in December 2015 for the first time in nine years. Despite that initial rate increase, yields for money market investors remain low.
The Prime Reserve Fund returned 0.00% in the quarter compared with 0.01% for the Lipper Money Market Funds Average. For the 12 months ended March 31, 2016, the fund returned 0.01% versus 0.03% for the Lipper Money Market Funds Average. The fund's average annual total returns were 0.01%, 0.01%, and 1.11% for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods, respectively, as of March 31, 2016. The fund's expense ratio was 0.53% as of its fiscal year ended May 31, 2015. The fund's seven-day simple annualized yield as of March 31, 2016, was 0.0100%. Its seven-day simple annualized yield without waiver was −0.0700%.* The fund's yield more closely reflects its current earnings than the total return.
Benchmark Definitions
The Treasury bill market remains somewhat bifurcated, with yields among shorter maturities suppressed by strong demand for T-bills while yields among longer maturities have risen somewhat. As many money funds revise their investment mandates to reflect all-Treasury strategies, we expect short T-bill rates to remain lower than other taxable money market rates. In the municipal money market, the dominant factor suppressing yields remains persistently low supply. Historically low interest rates have encouraged many municipal issuers to borrow for longer periods to lock in favorable financing costs, leading to less short-term issuance. At the end of March, close to half of the fund was invested in Treasuries and other U.S. government and agency securities. Approximately 33% of the portfolio was allocated to commercial paper and medium-term notes, while municipal securities represented about 12%. The remainder of the fund was invested primarily in certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements.
A rising fed funds rate should eventually translate into higher income for money market investors, but Fed officials are likely to be cautious as they pursue monetary policy normalization. We expect them to take some time assessing each rate hike's impact on financial markets and economic conditions before acting again. In any event, principal stability and liquidity remain our highest priorities, so we will remain diligent in monitoring the price pressures that higher rates may bring.

What Will Tali Look Like Unmasked? BioWare Isn't Even Sure Yet
Written Monday, July 04, 2011 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
As Mass Effect 3 marks the closure of the epic sci-fi trilogy, there's a lot of questions to be answered and loose ends to be tied up, whether it's that business with the Rachni from Mass Effect 1, the whole Illusive Man issue, Shepard's next bedroom conquest or what the Reapers want with Earth. But there's one big question that even BioWare hasn't got the answer to just yet and that's what everyone's favourite quarian, Tali'Zorah looks like behind that mask of hers.
In an interview, Mass Effect Executive Producer Casey Hudson explained the quandary that the team face in deciding Tali's look. "A lot of people want to have her face revealed and obviously people are going to be pissed off either way. Like 'I thought she was going to look beautiful!' or 'I thought she was going to be the most hideous thing ever!' So we've had a lot of debate over Tali's face, but that's the one we kind of dread a lot. We're always 'Well, let's talk about something else for a while!' That's something we're going to have to decide."
We always figured she'd be more of a beauty than a hideous creature, but only time will tell exactly what Tali looks like. About eight months to be exact... Mass Effect 3 is out in March 2012.

Joyce Sek Hwee K.wrote a review of Redington Willow River Wader - Women's on February 12, 2013
It Works!
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this specifically for a guided fly fishing trip in New Zealand - 5 consecutive full days of clambering over boulders, crawling up and down steep gravel banks, bashing through the bush, brush, trees, shrubs...think Juraissic Park Country. The waders held up and kept me dry. I am 5 ft tall only and weigh 48 kg. My inseam length is 29 inches and I chose the S size. I picked Reddington over many other brands only because of its longer inseam length - allowing room to hoist my legs over boulders. The suspenders are a bit long for my short torso, which means the top of the waders dont hang well but any shorter length of the suspenders, will cause a wedgie in the crotch area. So its a compromise with not a flattering cut but hey it works ! And I caught big browns so am super happy with it!

"Sometimes, you can find an old foundation of a house once filled with furniture and a family, now just a line of bricks under dirt with lost memories."
This is a gorgeous bit of prose. I felt that it was too descriptive of the emotional state of the writer, however, and not quite neutral enough for inclusion. Whihch is a pity in a way. It's just not best here in an encyclopedia.
CAn anyone provide references, timelines, dates of the mine disaster, or the statistics relating to the hurricane or economics, that are a bit more specific? This is a fascinating entry, and an interesting topic. I think it might just need a little help? 220.127.116.11 10:21, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Rhett Butler's farewell to Scarlett O'Hara, I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken - and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best. . . .

Digital partial discharge (PD) diagnosis and testing systems are state of the art for performing quality assurance or fault identification on high voltage apparatus as well as commissioning tests. However their on-site application is a rather difficult task as PD information is generally superimposed with electromagnetic disturbances. These disturbances affect negatively all known PD evaluation systems. Especially the detection and suppression of stochastically distributed pulse shaped disturbances is a major problem. To determine such disturbances fast machine intelligent recognition systems are being developed. Three different strategies based on digital signal processing are discussed in this paper, while focusing on time resolved neural signal recognition. The system investigated more closely is currently able to distinguish between PD pulses and disturbances with the disturbances values being ten times higher than the peak values of the PD pulses. Therefore a measuring system acquires the input data in the VHF range (20-100 MHz). The discrimination of the pulses is performed in real time in time domain using fast neural network hardware. With that signal recognition system a noise reassessed phase resolved pulse sequence (PRPS) data set in the CIGRE data format is generated that can be the input source of most PD evaluation software. Optionally a noise reassessed analogue data stream can be generated that is suitable for any conventional PD measuring system.

Such interactions include those associated with divert jet firings and with stage-separation, and their analysis is complicated by the significant role played by transitional turbulence effects, which impacts both the size and the oscillatory behavior of the separation region produced by the interaction, and thus impacts stability and control. The turbulent/transitional physics varies with flight regimes and the modeling required will be scoped-out via the performance of a substantive number of numerical studies. A detailed direct simulation (DNS) study will be performed for a divert jet firing on generic missile at 45 km and Mach 8 which will directly deal with the transitional physics. An AIT missile tested in the shock tunnel facilities at CUBRC with a DAC divert motor will also be analyzed for which detailed temporal data is available. Innovative techniques to minimize the size of the separated region and the oscillatory behavior will be examined employing pulsatile concepts with prescribed frequencies. Active control concepts which have been used for related problems will be discussed but the work deferred to Phase II.

I notice that it apparently doesn't add the option fields to the post types however for some reason it still overrides the H1 tag because it clears it out on posts. I am able to override the menu title and page title on 'pages' however not posts. I would like to just have the plugin only apply to pages and not posts...is this possible?

The Hoops manager is furious that none of his players were on the four-man shortlist, which includes Motherwell striker Michael Higdon, Inverness midfielder Andrew Shinnie, Hibernian forward Leigh Griffiths and Aberdeen striker Niall McGinn.
Kilmarnock boss Shiels was quoted in a number of newspapers saying: "Celtic make a song and dance about everything, don't they? Paranoid FC.
"I think they deserve to maybe have one in with Kris Commons, who is a good shout, but I wouldn't get all paranoid about it. It's the players' thing, they deserve credit for how they vote."
When asked if he understood why the Celtic boss was standing up for his players, Shiels said: "Certain managers are egotistical. I think the (list of) four nominees is a fair assessment of who's done well."
He then revealed who he would have voted for, saying: "Andrew Shinnie has been right up there as one of the best this season.
"I can only judge against us and Shinnie, Michael Higdon and Leigh Griffiths have all done well.
"Who from Celtic would come into the category? How many games did Kris Commons play? James Forrest got young player of the year last season and he only played about 20 games."

I've got a site(velograph.net) that I'd like to have a blog on, without all the extra stuff the typical blogs have. I'd like to import a post that I write into the main page so that it work fluidly.
Is this a plugin thing? Or a possible Mysql/php issue I don't understand(which could be possible).

A really quick way of cooking mac and cheese! I also mixed up some milk with some cornflour,as I have learnt from experience that trying to melt cheese into milk just doesn't work very well.I left out the olives (sorry,but I hate them!) but did use the peppers and chillies.A really good tasting dish.The texture of the pepper and the heat of the chillies were just great against the silkiness of the pasta and sauce. A great recipe,that is super speedy to cook.Thanks Sam. Made for PRMR.
Yummy way to eat mac and cheese!! I omitted the olives and peppers for the kids. They loved it with the chilies though. I added a little velveeta for creaminess. I mixed the milk with 1/2 T. cornstarch and heated it and then added the cheese until melted then added the rest. Thanks for the recipe!

"A chilling reminder of the past" Olympiastadion Tip by CardinalBorusa
Olympiastadion, Berlin: 29 reviews and 80 photos
If anyone still thinks politics and sport can be kept apart, let them come here.
The Olympiastadion hosted the final of the football World Cup in July 2006, with 76,000 fans cheering on the Italian and French teams. Perhaps it is a better place to be when full, like most football stadia.
Empty, it is too easy to recall the stadium's origins as something created for the 1936 Olympics, planned as a showcase for the Nazi state but upstaged eloquently by Jesse Owens. As you enter the stadium, the Marathon Gates support the Olympic rings between two stone towers which bear an uncomfortable resemblance to sentry posts. Stark stone architecture is adorned with torches straight from the romantic feudal outlook which underlay Nazism.
There are brief explanatory display panels dotted around the site, pointing out the parade area and the swimming pool as well as the main stadium. But there is no permanent exhibition relating to the 1936 Games. The stadium is its own exhibition.
This is a chilling survivor of the Third Reich.

The Kennedy Assassination, 50 Years Later
If Twitter Existed In 1963: Follow Live Tweets From Nov. 22
BREAKING: President Kennedy and Texas Gov. John Connally have just been shot.— Today in 1963 (@todayin1963) November 22, 2013
If you've been on Twitter the past couple of days, you might have stumbled upon tweets from @TodayIn1963. Since June, NPR's Code Switch blog has compiled moments from 1963 — a pivotal year in U.S. history — and is tweeting them as they happened then. The news — and @TodayIn1963 — will spin and spin as bits of history unfold in "real-time."
You'll see reports from NBC, CBS, the UPI and the New York Times as the outlets scrambled to piece together the changes underfoot: The White House will announce John F. Kennedy's death; Lyndon B. Johnson will be sworn in as the 36th president of the United States; Lee Harvey Oswald, the prime suspect in the assassination, will be shot and killed by nightclub owner Jack Ruby on Nov. 24. The tweets go on and on — you'll just have to follow yourself.

DAYTON, Ohio -- Ohio State must erase references from
university produced material to all regular-season games the
Buckeyes played while using an ineligible player, in addition to
removing any NCAA Tournament trips they made during that time.
Ohio State spokesman Steve Snapp said Thursday the university
asked the NCAA whether it had to wipe out references to all games
played and not just those played in the postseason.
"They said it is for all the regular-season games and
postseason games," Snapp said at the University of Dayton Arena,
where the Buckeyes meet Davidson on Friday in a first-round NCAA
Tournament game.
The NCAA gave Ohio State three years' probation March 10 and
ordered it to pay back all tournament money earned from 1999-2002
when Boban Savovic was on the Buckeyes' roster. In addition, Ohio
State must remove all references to team accomplishments from those
A two-year NCAA investigation found that Savovic received
improper benefits and committed academic fraud while he played for
Ohio State.
Originally, the university thought last week's ruling only dealt
with NCAA Tournament games.
Snapp said Ohio State has pulled down the banners at Value City
Arena related to NCAA trips, Final Fours and Big Ten championships.
He said he was uncertain when any tournament revenue would be
paid back to the NCAA. Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said
last week that he estimated the school would have to return around
$800,000 accrued from the postseason.
Snapp said the university will be in touch with the NCAA
regarding how to list the games from those four seasons in future
Ohio State media guides. The NCAA says the games must be
"vacated" -- indicating they are not forfeited but rather listed
as if they were not even played.
Ohio State's current NCAA Tournament media guide already has
been updated and ignores the Buckeyes' trip to the Final Four in
1999 and losses in the second round in 2000, first round in 2001
and second round of the 2002 tournament.
"Ohio State is making its 19th appearance in the NCAA
Tournament and first since 1992," the media guide says.

TV Watch America's Got Talent
Heidi Klum has proven she's got moves on the runway, the red carpet and reality television – she was just nominated for an Emmy for Project Runway – but who knew she was such an aficionado of the kitchen?

A brave Marine who lost part of his leg in Iraq inspired all four judges on America's Got Talent Tuesday as he shared how music helped him through his pain.
Sal Gonzalez, 29, who lives in Nashville but grew up in Los Angeles, earned "yes" votes and praise for not only his singing but his work with the Wounded Warrior Project, in which he helps other injured veterans re-adjust to life back home.

In all her years on Project Runway, Heidi Klum never had to deal with a contestant stealing her unmentionables.
But in her second season as a judge on America's Got Talent, the German supermodel finds that magicians have no such professional compunctions against underwear theft. In this exclusive clip from the show's upcoming ninth season, Klum gets some hands-on lessons about magic from a young AGT hopeful, who finds his new magician's assistant has a quicker wit than he might have expected.

Jennifer Aniston is known for keeping her private life under wraps, but she recently gave fans a fun glimpse into her off-camera life.
America's Got Talent, and NBC's got Howard Stern – at least for one more season.
The shock jock, 59, confirmed Tuesday that he will return to the reality competition for his third season as a judge, though it may well be his last.
"It started out as a goof. Now it's becoming a job," Stern said on his SiriusXM radio show. "I am very excited to be going back to America's Got Talent. I will go back [for] one more season."

Dancers, singers, comedians, magicians.
America had plenty to choose from Wednesday as the eighth season of America's Got Talent came to a close. But of course, only one performer could walk away with $1 million and the chance to headline a show in Las Vegas.
Whom did America choose? Read on to find out. (Warning: spoilers ahead.)
Summer's almost over, which means the season's guiltiest TV pleasure is coming to an end, too.
After the most entertaining season yet, America's Got Talent will name a winner on Wednesday. But which of the final six deserves to take home $1 million and get a show in Las Vegas? Will it be one of the singers, a comedian, a magician or the performer who defies description, Kenichi Ebina?
Vote for your favorite act below.
Loyal listeners tune in to Howard Stern's radio show knowing that anything can happen, but on Monday they got a surprise of a different kind – Stern's longtime sidekick Robin Quivers reveals that she's been fighting cancer for the past year.
In a frank discussion, Quivers, 61, explained why she's been absent from the studio (and broadcasting from home) since mid-2012. She revealed that she'd undergone surgery, chemotherapy and radiation treatment for a grapefruit-size tumor discovered in her uterus.
Quivers got emotional as she remembered the talk she had with Stern after getting the diagnosis – when doctors talked about "prolonging" her life, rather than "saving" it.

We describe and illustrate Coccinia pwaniensis Holstein from eastern Tanzania and southeast Kenya, and C. samburuensis Holstein from the Samburu area in Kenya. The new species were already recognised by Charles Jeffrey in 1967 and are now known from eight and four collections, respectively. Ongoing monographic work also revealed three new synonyms and the need for a new combination, Coccinia heterophylla (Hook. f.) Holstein.

Contact: Paul Smith
Novelist Louis L'Amour and Enduring Appeal of the Cowboy Discussed at
Kansas City Public Library
Kansas City Public Library
The Kansas City Public Library celebrates the legacy of Western novelist Louis L'Amour with Dr. Jim Hoy and his presentation American Icon: The Enduring Appeal of the Cowboy on Tuesday, September 16, at 6:30 p.m. in the Truman Forum at the Plaza Branch, 4801 Main St.
Hoy will examine the pop culture conception of the cowboy and its evolution, influenced by Wild West shows, genre films and novels like those L'Amour authored. This illustrated presentation includes a sampling of period folk songs performed on acoustic guitar.
Hoy is an English professor at Emporia State University and is a former Congressionally-appointed Trustee of the American Folk Life Center at the Library of Congress. He has published ten books, the latest being Flint Hills Cowboys: Tales of the Tallgrass Prairie.

Cancer-Related Fatigue
In this article
Exercise and Cancer Fatigue
Decreased physical activity, which may be the result of cancer or cancer treatment, can lead to tiredness and lack of energy. Scientists have found that even healthy athletes forced to spend extended periods in bed or sitting in chairs develop feelings of anxiety, depression, weakness, fatigue, and nausea.
Regular, moderate exercise can often decrease these feelings, help you stay active, and increase your energy. Even during cancer therapy, it is often possible to continue exercising.
Here are some guidelines to keep in mind.
- Check with your doctor before beginning an exercise program.
- A good exercise program starts slowly, allowing your body time to adjust.
- Keep a regular exercise schedule. Exercise at least three times a week.
- The right kind of exercise never makes you feel sore, stiff, or exhausted. If you experience soreness, stiffness, exhaustion, or feel out of breath as a result of your exercise, you are overdoing it.
- Most exercises are safe, as long as you exercise with caution and don't overdo it. The safest and most productive activities are swimming, brisk walking, indoor stationary cycling, and low impact aerobics (taught by a certified instructor). These activities carry little risk of injury and benefit your entire body.
When to Call the Doctor About Cancer Fatigue
Although cancer-related fatigue is a common, and often expected, side effect of cancer and its treatments, you should mention your concerns to your doctors. There are times when fatigue may be a clue to an underlying medical problem. Other times, there may be treatments to help control some of the causes of fatigue.
Finally, there may be suggestions that are more specific to your situation that would help in combating your fatigue.

- Increased shortness of breath with minimal exertion
