"Science Fiction Has Given the Umlaut in Upper High German a Run for Its Money"
The interview also contains interesting discussions of The Jewel-Hinged Jaw, of why Chip writes what he does, of his work at Temple University, and of the growing acceptance of some forms of genre writing among the country's MFA writing programs.

Say, Matt, when is the new edition of Starboard Wine due out? That's a release date I've been unable to spot.ReplyDelete
-- Michael S.
Not sure yet, Michael -- Starboard Wine is waiting for Chip to take a final (copyediting) pass at it, but finishing the novel, some health problems, and a very busy job at Temple had slowed him down with that. Not wanting to be a nag, I haven't asked him where he's at with it since this summer, so it could be farther along than I know, but my guess would be that it won't be released for about a year. It's been a long wait, but I think once the book comes out, folks will see it's very much worth waiting for.ReplyDelete

Thanks for the update -- and I'll second the worth-waiting-for part.ReplyDelete
I only hope that Chip's final pass, once he has time for it, doesn't drag on too long; SW is a book that seems susceptible to endless copy editing.

Gadgets" Pillow speakers allow for quiet TV, bedtime music
|The Sound Oasis Sleep Therapy Pillow is a high-quality comfort pillow with two high-fidelity, ultra-thin stereo speakers built into the core of the pillow which connect to any mp3 player, allowing users to surround their head with sound for enhanced therapy or privacy. Easy to remove for washing. The super-thin speakers can be easily transferred to any other pillow as well. (Sound Oasis/MCT)
While they are marketed for enhanced therapy or privacy use, I thought they were a great accessory for bedtime TV audio.
The wired stereo speakers ($22.99) are ultra-thin and plug into any device with a 3.5mm connection. Just slide them into your pillow and adjust the volume on the in-line control.
Each speaker is about 1.5-inches round by .5-inch deep and 73-inches long cord with a volume control.
The speakers are also available in the Sound Oasis Sleep Therapy Pillow ($49.99), which has them built-into the 20-by-26-inch pillow.
A cord, with the in-line speaker control, connects to your device from the pillow. The speakers can be removed so the pillow can be cleaned.

Alarm clocks for smartphones are a dime a dozen, so at this point there must be something that really catches my attention to give it a second glance.
The Snooze iPhone alarm dock from Distil Union does just that with its functionality and its attractive wood (solid, Maple or Oak) finish.
Using it is simple; just slide your iPhone 5 or 4/4S into the dock, which has tracks cut into it to keep it in place.
Then download the free Snooze alarm clock app and you're all set.
Your device acts as alarm clock with an easy access snooze button built into the dock, which measures about 2-by-3-by-4.5 inches and has rubber feet on the bottom to keep it in place.
A pass-through slot lets you hook it up to charge overnight with your own USB charging cable and AC wall adapter. The app lets you set alarms and adjust its brightness with the swipe of your finger.
The slot to slide your phone in is about 1/2-inch wide, so keep that in mind when trying to use the dock with a case on the phone.

Blue Microphones Spark Digital delivers crystal clear audio on Apple iOS and USB (Mac and Windows) devices with basically a plug-and-play setup.
I chose GarageBand as my app, although it's listed to work with hundreds of apps. With GarageBand running, the microphone was instantly detected and after a few steps it was recording.
The studio-quality microphone weights 1.25 pounds, has LED lights for levels, along with volume controls, microphone muting and gain.
An adjustable desk stand has built-in shockmount and a port to plug in your own headphone for monitoring the audio.
Aside from how well the microphone worked with its simple setup, it's one of the coolest looking accessories to have.
Whether you're using it to capture audio for podcasts, instrumental, video or note taking, you'll be thrilled with the results.

Thank you for your interest in our program. We think you will find our glaucoma fellowship to be among the best. Ophthalmology fellowships at the University of Iowa provide an extensive clinical and research experience. We graduate highly qualified and well-rounded clinicians, researchers and educators.
The University of Iowa Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences has a tradition of excellence that has earned praise for outstanding teaching, research and patient care. Our Department is consistently rated among the top in the nation by surveys and publications such as U.S.News & World Report. As a leading academic medical center we have a three-point mission of education, research and patient care. The "academic difference" at University of Iowa Health Care begins with a belief that the best health care and the best medical training are delivered in an environment of care and compassion, of learning and discovery, and of development and refinement.
Our fellowship training combines outpatient, inpatient and surgical experience. As the largest tertiary care center in Iowa, we receive referrals from across Iowa and the surrounding states. Fellows study directly with leading experts and experience a wide spectrum of cases, from the very simple to the most complex.
The Department of Ophthalmology at the University of Iowa has a unique, superlative teaching program. Morning rounds are held fMonday through Thursday from 8:00 to 8:45 a.m. These are attended by all faculty, fellows, and residents and consist of patient presentations, seminars, and interesting discussions. Every Friday morning during the academic year, faculty members present a two hour lecture covering sections of the Basic and Clinical Sciences course subject material. The Glaucoma Service has chart rounds at the end of every clinic day.
Faculty are always available to provide guidance, mentorship and research assistance. However, glaucoma fellows enjoy a balance of supervision and autonomy to work independently.
Our fellows also become very involved in the training of our residents and medical students both on a one-to-one basis in the clinic, as well as in morning rounds.
Fellows are encouraged to publish and present their research at regional and national meetings.
The glaucoma fellow undertakes and completes a research project during the year. This project is presented at the annual Residents' and Fellows' Day in the Spring.

Used Find of the Week: A Presidential Pickup
How to know you're rich:
You need a truck for your ranch. Not to do a lot of work, but just to get from one part of the ranch to another. You'll probably have some passengers now and then—you know, the usual: family, friends, world dignitaries and the like. Your truck won't ever be driven on public roads—it'll stay on the ranch all the time. You have other vehicles for taking into public spaces, or someone drives for you.
Your ranch truck can't just be an old beater, like every other ranch truck in the fields of these great United States. No, a 1972 Ford F-100 won't do at all. You need leather, heated seats and four doors. You need to buy a brand-new Ford F-150 King Ranch.
If you're George W. Bush in 2009, that's exactly what you did.

My first day of week 4 was amazing! I couldn't believe it when I successfully completed all the running intervals (especially since week 3 had been a struggle!). I was so proud of myself! Since then, I've attempted the week 4 run four times, but for whatever reason, I just can't seem to push through those 5 minute intervals. It's killing me! Any advice?
If you aren't already doing so, ADD MUSIC! This really helps me to focus on something other than the run. Last night was W5D1....the first 5 mins was a killer, but the other two weren't too bad. Not looking forward to tomorrows though......two 8 minute runs! YIKES.

I know this is going to sound weird but find something to think deep about. I usually go for long runs sometimes forgetting where I am just by having deep thoughts. Music isn't bad as well but it causes you to run to that rhythm of the song and can throw your momentum off. Don't think about the timer, timers always kill people because you'll just want it to end. Whatever you do don't give up. I used to hate running and know I run 5 miles every other day. I see it as therapy. I know I sound crazy but after doing it for awhile it becomes enjoyable.
Try to slow down. By slowing down, I don't mean to take less steps per minute, I mean take smaller steps. I feel it is best to control my forward speed when jogging by changing my step length, not by changing the rate at which I'm taking steps.
Yesterday was my first experience jogging on a trail with hills. On one particularly steep slope, I was moving so slow that I was almost jogging in place. When I went back through the trail walking, I found it hard to walk up that slope, but I jogged up it by taking very short steps.
I've heard the recomended step rate when jogging is 180 steps per minute. I know I don't take that many per minute, but my rate is clearly much higher when jogging than walking. I try to keep my step rate, or cadence, constant regardless of the step length, or stride. If I want to move slower, I take shorter steps. To move faster, I take longer steps.
I assume your challenge is the mental aspect of the longer runs.
I had this too - physically I was fine but mentally they were a real challenge. The solution turned out to be speed intervals. The time just FLIES by! I pick a tree in the distance - pick up the pace a bit and run to that tree - slow back down to my comfy pace until I recover and then pick another tree. The mental cycle of picking a spot, "sprinting", monitoring my recovery and then starting the whole thing over makes the time flash by. I promise!
I would just pick up the pace a little bit - nothing extreme - just a faster than I would be able to maintain for any length of time. And the distance of these sprints was probably less than 30 seconds.
This is all easily done on a treadmill as well.
(If the challenge of the 5 minute runs is more physical than mental - then start out real slow - much slower than you think you need to go. You'll have more left for the finish.)
Happy running!
Thank you all so much!! I incorporated all of your advice into my run this morning and I did it!!! I successfully completed all the running intervals! Thank you everyone!

SAN JOSE -- For nearly three quarters Friday night, Serra's high-powered offense was mostly nowhere to be found in the Central Coast Section Open Division championship game.
But after Archbishop Mitty's Dakari Monroe broke a scoreless tie with a 74-yard touchdown run, the Padres finally found the end zone and did not stop scoring.
Three touchdowns in the game's final 12½ minutes lifted Serra to a 21-7 victory at San Jose City College, giving the Padres their first Open Division championship and spoiling what was shaping up to be an improbable triumph by Mitty.
With starting quarterback Trenton Scharrenberg sidelined after having three screws inserted into his fractured (nonthrowing) hand this week, the Monarchs were relegated to option running plays, trickery and superb defense to stay in the game.
But they could hold down Serra for only so long.
A 30-yard pass from Matthew Fa'aita to Hamilton Anoa'i tied the score 7-7 late in the third quarter. Fa'aita's 1-yard run early in the fourth proved to be the winner.
Serra advances to a Northern California regional next weekend. Pairings will be announced Sunday.
"I'm just so happy right now," said Fa'aita, who threw for 202 yards in the second half and 223 overall. "The defense was shutting them out the whole game. We just knew the offense had to come up and make some plays, and that's what we did."
After struggling to move the ball in the opening two quarters, Serra (11-2) opened the second half looking like the offensive team that nearly beat De La Salle to open the season and shared the West Catholic Athletic League title with Mitty.
But the Padres still could not score. They missed a field-goal try on their opening series of the second half and did not convert a fake field-goal try on their next possession.
Mitty (11-2) broke the scoreless tie when, on third-and-9 from the its own 26, Monroe took a pitch to the left side and managed to get around the corner. The sprinter then shifted into turbo gear, outrunning two defenders to the end zone for the game's first points.
Serra struck right back.
On third-and-18 from the Padres' 12, Fa'aita completed a 28-yard pass over the middle to running back Kava Cassidy and then a 23-yard pass to Easop Winston that moved Serra to the 25.
After a false-start infraction took the ball back to the 30, Fa'aita found a wide-open Anoa'i at the 15.
The 6-foot-2, 225-pound receiver then spun away from two defenders and coasted into the end zone to tie the score 7-7 late in the third quarter.
"I had a key block from one of my teammates, Ian McGuire, and right when I got the ball in my hands, I could just think about Coach saying, 'We need a big play. It's time for me to step up,' " Anoa'i said. "I tried my best to get in the end zone and ignite the offense on that play."
Vince Camp intercepted a pass moments later and returned it 31 yards to the 9. Fa'aita's 1-yard sneak on third down gave Serra a 14-7 lead with 10:52 left.
A 2-yard touchdown run by Kevin McGee put the game away.
"Nobody panicked," Serra coach Patrick Walsh said. "I thought the most wonderful thing was everyone was just calm. It wasn't a chaotic environment on our sidelines, and that's a testament to our seniors and our senior leadership. They've been in a groove all year long."
On the other side, a Mitty season that was perfect except for two losses to Serra ended one win short of the CCS's biggest prize.
The Monarchs finished with just 39 yards passing, 31 on a halfback option pass by tailback Kyle Evans that set up a field-goal try.
"It's definitely tough, playing against a team like that and we're having trouble throwing the ball," Mitty coach Matt Haniger said. "The bottom line is we didn't execute in the first half. We had an opportunity to go up at least 6-0, and we didn't get that done."
Mitty still led with a little more than quarter to play. But once Serra reached the end zone, the Padres did not stop.
"We just kept our heads in the game, kept executing, and this is the outcome," Cassidy said.
Archbishop Mitty 0 "0 "7 " 0 -- 7
Serra 0 "0 "7 "14--21
AM -- Monroe 74 run (Haas kick)
S -- Anoa'i 30 pass from Fa'aita (Bodley kick)
S -- Fa'aita 1 run (Bodley kick)
S -- McGee 2 run (Bodley kick)
Records -- Archbishop Mitty 11-2; Serra 11-2.

PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528-8592 VOLUME 10 NUMBER 10 ( < PALISH /PEND D'ORI ELLES ÄNgffQPTEN MOON OF THE HARVEST OF RIPE THINGS SEPTEMBER 15,1980 Council Chooses Consulting Company Stearns-Roger to look for "fatal flaw" The Tribal Council voted August 29th to hire the engineering firm of Stearns-Roger to make a thorough investigation of the reservation leg of Northern Tier Pipeline Company's (NTPC) proposed pipeline route through Montana. Dr. Louis York, chief environmental scientist, and Steve Dennis met with the Council to describe how they'll conduct a "fatal flaw" study of the route to identify whatever hazards and risks may exist. They explained that Stearns-Roger Engineering Corporation employs upwards of 40 professionals from various scientific disciplines -- geology, biology, hydrology, etc. - who will be available as necessary to assess the archeological, environmental, economic and social impacts of the project. They plan to cover the route on horseback and be ready to submit preliminary findings by October 1st. A complete study is expected by November 1st. The Denver-based firm was selected from half-a-dozen of the largest environmental engineering companies in the country. The Council reviewed each of the prospective firms' study proposals, and on the recommendation of Wilkinson, Cragun and Barker, the Tribes' Washington, D.C. law firm, selected Stearns-Roger. Joint District Meeting Announced There will be a special meeting of the St. Ignatius and Dixon Tribal districts on Friday, September 19th to discuss the proposed changes in the constitution. Dinner will be served at 6:00 p.m. and the meeting will start at 7:00 at the Community-Center in St. Ignatius. Councilmen Noel Pichette, Bearhead Swaney and Sonny Morigeau will be in attendance. Estimated cost of the study is expected to run from $31,000 to $55,000. NTPC, in a signed agreement presented to the Council, has agreed to pay for the work by way of reimbursing the Tribes. Before voting to hire his firm, Dr. York was questioned closely (conversations not quoted exactly): Councilman Joe McDonald: I'm concerned about underground water sources, location of fault lines, and the facts about how much money NTPC will really be saving by cutting through the reservation. Dr. York: The possibility of faults exists in this area and a history of past seismic activity will have to be researched. Underground water flows will be carefully considered. McDonald: I'm also worried about the social effects of this project - interaction between construction workers and our young people, for instance, and the self-esteem of the people in the affected areas after the project is finished. Do you have a sociologist on staff? York: We don't have a sociologist but if the Council wishes we'll locate and hire one. Councilman Bearhead Swaney: Agreed with McDonald (Continued on page 3) Inside this issue...........................

BBS, which stands for "Body by Scotty" held a ribbon cutting today and joined the Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce.
Several people were on hand as the business officially opened its doors.
BBS has been open for almost three months now and business owner Scotty Cox says the entire experience of moving to the area has been challenging but worth it.
"We're very excited. You know Dothan is kinda obviously the hub of this area. I've had gyms in smaller towns around the area and had people from Dothan come to me but now I feel like I'm in the middle of them and with three months already it's really been amazing. It's really been nice sorta being right here in the center of things," says Cox.
Cox says his services are a little more expensive than other gyms but assures customers the results are worth it.

OAKLAND — There was no room at the All-Star Inn for Josh Donaldson last year. This year he might be an honored guest.
The 28-year-old right-handed slugger was the leading vote-getter among all American League third basemen when the first round of ballot counting was announced Tuesday.
Donaldson was the A's best hitter at the All-Star break last year with a .310 average, 16 homers and 61 RBIs. But he ranked fifth in the voting behind Miguel Cabrera, Manny Machado, Adrian Beltre and Evan Longoria. With Cabrera now a first baseman, Donaldson has a lead of over 50,000 votes on Longoria. Beltre, Machado and Nick Castellanos are much further behind.
"If we have one player on the All-Star team, it should be J.D.,'' first baseman Brandon Moss said.
Moss is fifth in the voting at DH -- one of three other A's in the top five at their postions. Derek Norris was third at catcher and shortstop Jed Lowrie also was fifth.
Donaldson (.276, 12 homers, 38 RBIs) said he isn't going to get carried away with having a lead, this being just the first round of voting results to be released. But he said going to "the All-Star game would be a nice story."
"It's great; so far, so good,'' he said. "At this time last year I wasn't on the ballot. It shows you where things have come. It would definitely be pretty awesome for me.''
Asked if this was a new level of respect, Donaldson said it was "as far as the fan base is concerned."
"What matters the most to me is how my teammates feel about me and how I feel about myself at the end of the day,'' he said. "I understand that last year I was coming out of nowhere. And you had the best player in the game, Miguel Cabrera, the two-time MVP playing third base. There's not much I can say about that."
Norris (.316, five homers, 24 RBIs) said he didn't know he'd gotten any support from the voters until he got to the clubhouse and someone congratulated him, and he had to ask why.
"It was a big surprise, very unexpected,'' Norris said.
The right-hander threw 22 pitches before Tuesday's game, throwing as hard as he would in a game, according to manager Bob Melvin.
"Honestly, I'm thoroughly surprised at how good it felt today,'' Cook said. "It's one thing to be confident (that the injury was minor), but it's something else to have things respond the way you want them to feel.''
Next up for Cook is another bullpen session Thursday. After that the A's could give him a simulated game or a short injury rehabilitation assignment that, Melvin said, "could maybe be as short as one game."
"He threw all his pitches today and it looked like he didn't miss a thing,'' Melvin said.
He was wearing an imposing-looking brace that can lock the arm in place or can be opened to allow for flexibility, which is the way Griffin had hit while meeting and greeting his teammates.
Griffin, who is expected to be able to pitch again in the first half of the 2015 season, also was styling a new haircut, his long surfer-length locks a thing of the past.
"It makes me look younger,'' said Griffin, 26. "That's a good thing.''
Punto had not appeared in any of the last three games while nursing a calf injury.

At some stage in everyone's programming career, they will need to read through a lot of code written by another programmer. An important part of program comprehension is building a picture of how the program is structured from a high-level view and call graphs can be an invaluable aid when building this piecture. This is particularly useful if the original programmer uses clear function names.
This project provides the ability to generate call graphs to aid the task of understanding code. It uses a highly modular set of collection methods and can be adapted to support any language although only C and C++ are currently supported. Each collection method has different advantages and disadvantages.
Call graph of alloc_pages() in the Linux Kernel 2.6.12-rc2
gengraph -f alloc_pages -d 5 -t -s "buffered_rmqueue out_of_memory try_to_free_pages numa_node_id" -i "cpuset_zone_allowed" --output-font=Arial --output-type=png
tar -zxvf codeviz-1.0.3.tar.gz cd codeviz-1.0.3 ./configure && make && make installThis will configure codeviz for use with a patched version of the 3.4.1 gcc compiler and install all the scripts. Additional Dependencies
The graphs are rendered using dot which is part of the GraphViz project. Install the package for your distribution or obtain it directly from The following is a rough list of packages you need to have installed;
Generating cdepn Files for genfull
If the full.graph for the source you are interested in have already been created, you can skip this section. See ./graphs to see if a full.graph is available.
The cobjdump and cppobjdump (for C and C++ respectively) will generate adequate call graphs but the information is a bit lacking. For example, the source file of a function declaration is unknown and macros and inline functions will be totally missing. Ideally, the cdepn method should be used but it requires a patched version of gcc and g++ to work. The patches and some scripts are available in the compilers/ directory. gcc 3.0.4 is automatically downloaded and patched for you as part of configure && make so if if you have used that, skip the rest of this section if you want.
The patched version of gcc and g++ outputs .cdepn files for every c and c++ file compiled. This .cdepn file contains information such as when functions are called, where they are declared and so on. In versions of CodeViz prior to 1.0.3, three versions of gcc were supported: 2.95.4, 3.0.4 and 3.2.3. For the latest versions, only 3.4.1 is supported as it should be able to compile any application. It has been heavily tested with the Linux Kernel so C support should be fine. C++ support is also there but has not been tested as extensively. Reports welcome.
In case you do not wish to use the configure script, this is how to install the compiler yourself. First, the source tar has to be downloaded. For those who have better things to do than read the gcc install doc, just do the following
cd compilers ncftpget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gcc/gcc-3.4.1/gcc-3.4.1.tar.gz ./install_gcc-3.4.1.shThis script will untar gcc, patch it and install it to the supplied path. If no path is given, it'll be installed to $HOME/gcc-graph . I usually install it to /usr/local/gcc-graph with
./install_gcc-3.4.1.sh /usr/local/gcc-graphIf you seriously want to patch by hand, just read the script as it goes through each of the steps one at a time.
For now, we will presume a patched version of gcc and g++ is now in $HOME/gcc-graph/. Most projects will use the variable CC for deciding which version of gcc to use. The handiest way to use the patched one is with something like
make CC=$HOME/gcc-graph/bin/gcc CXX=$HOME/gcc-graph/bin/g++Or alternatively, adjust your path that gcc-graph will appear before the normal gcc. As each source file is compiled, the corresponding cdepn file will be created.
In the case of building the Linux Kernel, the commands would be;
make CC=$HOME/gcc-graph/bin/gcc bzImage make CC=$HOME/gcc-graph/bin/gcc modulesSimilar methods will work for other projects presuming that the Makefile uses the CC or CXX macros correctly to indicate the compiler to use. If it's a Makefile of your own type or it does not use proper macros, you may have to edit the Makefile yourself or else adjust your path to put gcc-graph first. For example, with bash, the following will work.
PATH=$HOME/gcc-graph/bin:$PATHWhen building, watch the compiler output to make sure the .cdepn files are being created.
Generating nccout files for genfull
An alternative to using a patched version of gcc is to use ncc (http://freshmeat.net/projects/ncc) which is a C compiler specifically designed for code browsing. It comes with it's own navigation tool and is well worth checking out.
CodeViz supports ncc with the cncc collection method (just like cdepn is for use with gcc) and supports C only. The really big thing going for the ncc collection method is that it can traverse function pointers. If you download and install ncc, use the cncc collection method if it is C code and function pointers are common.
Once ncc is installed, in the case of building the Linux Kernel, the commands would be:
make -i CC='ncc -ncoo -ncfabs' bzImage make -i CC='ncc -ncoo -ncfabs' modules find . -name \*.nccout | xargs cat > code.map.nccoutGenerating full.graph
Some full.graph files are provided with the tar in the downloads section. If one you want is not available, read on.
To create a full.graph, the script genfull is used. run genfull --help to see all options but the easiest thing to do is run the script with no arguments in the top level source directory after a compile and a file full.graph will be created in the top level source directory.
While it should be possible to put full.graph though dot and see the postscript file, it is recommended you do not try. A full graph is extremely large and unlikely to be rendered in a reasonable amount of time. One really should use the gengraph program to create smaller graphs.
Problems that might exist with full.graph
In more complex code, the full.graph may not be perfect. For example, there may be naming collisions where there is duplicate function names between modules or if there is multiple binaries being compiled, genfull will not distinguish between them. If you think this will be a problem, there is two steps you can make.
First, compare the graph generated by cdepn with the one generated by cobjdump. As cobjdump is analysing a binary, it is highly unlikely the graph is wrong, it just will have no information on inline functions or macros. With the linux kernel, this test would look something like
genfull -g cobjdump -o full.graph-objdump genfull -g cdepn -o full.graph-cdepn gengraph -t -d 5 -g full.graph-objdump -f kswapd -o kswapd-objdump.ps gengraph -t -d 5 -g full.graph-cdepn -f kswapd -o kswapd-cdepn.psThis would generate two full.graphs and two call graphs of the function kswapd() which could be compared to make sure the cdepn graph is accurate. A similar method can be used for other projects.
The second problem that may occur is where function names are duplicated between modules. In this case, the best course of action is to use the -s switch to genfull to limit which branches of the tree are examined. For example, in the linux kernel there is an alloc_pages() function in mm/ and drivers/char/drm . If one was examining the VM alone and naming collisions were expected to be a problem, genfull could be invoked as
genfull -s "mm include/linux drivers/block arch/i386"which would cover most of the functions of interest. In other projects, it will be a case of different libraries colliding with each other. For instance, with avifile, genfull with no arguments will create a horrible mess. Instead, the -s switch must be used to generate a full.graph for each part of the project. For example, the player would be graphed with
genfull -s "player" -o full.graph-playerand each of the libraries would be graphed separately.
Generating Call Graphs
The script gengraph generates a call graph for a specified function based on the full.graph file. gengraph --man will provide all the information you need. The most important switch to note is -g which determines what collection method to use. Once the script completes, a postscript file will be available which can be viewed with any postscript viewer. By default, the output filename will be functionname.ps
If it takes a long time to generate a graph, it is usually a good idea to first limit it's depth to something reasonable with -d . We'll take an example of graphing alloc_pages() with kernel 2.4.20
Step 1: gengraph -f alloc_pages
Result: Taking way too long, hit ctrl-c and limited by some reasonable depth to get an idea of what was happening
Step 2: gengraph -d 10 -f alloc_pages
Result: Output graph is massive, mainly with kernel stock functions of no interest. Use the -t switch to omit functions that are usually of no interest. For other projects, edit the gengraph script and go to the line "sub generate_trimlist", this function has a list of functions to "trim" with the -t switch is used
Step 3: gengraph -t -d 10 -f alloc_pages
Result: Output graph is still massive but a glance at the graph shows that a call to "shrink_cache()" is resulting in a massive graph below it that does not look like it is directly related to page allocation. Lets just show that function but not traverse it with the -s switch
Step 4: gengraph -t -d 10 -s "shrink_cache" -f alloc_pages
Result: Graph size is drastically reduced. Most of the remaining graph involves two functions "try_to_free_pages_zone()" and "__free_pages_ok". We'll not traverse try_to_free_pages_zone() and will ignore __free_pages_ok() altogether with the -i switch
Step 5: gengraph -t -d 10 -s "shrink_cache try_to_free_pages_zone" -i "__free_pages_ok" -f alloc_pages
Result: Perfect, shows a nice graph which clearly shows what the important functions are in relation to just page allocation. Later the branches that were not traversed in this graph can be graphed separately
The bottom line is that the first graph is usually too large and needs to be cut down. How to pare it down in a combination of experience with the code and common sense. I find it usually helps to just limit the depth first by 4 and start ignoring functions that are obviously not of current interest and traverse them later. If listing individual functions to omit is not your thing, use the --show-re or --ignore-re switches to show or ignore functions based on a regular expression.
Daemon/Client Support
With a large input graph, the longest operation for the generation of the call graph is the reading of the input file. To compare, to generate a small graph on the authors machine, it takes 4 seconds to read the input graph and 0.1 seconds to generate the output file. To address, this, gengraph can run as a daemon if the -q (--daemon) switch is specified. Use -v if you want to see what it is doing.
gengraph -q -g /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-clean/full.graphWhen this returns, the daemon is running. To generate a graph using the daemon, run
gengraph -q -t -d 2 -f alloc_pagesNote the use of the -q switch which says that gengraph should run as a client to the daemon instance. If you are bored, compare the difference in running times between normal gengraph and when it is used as a client :-) . To stop the daemon, do the following
echo QUIT > /tmp/codeviz.pipeand the daemon will shutdown and cleanup.
Post-Processing Options
Both genfull and gengraph support the use of post-procesing steps. Currently, two are supported. The first is stack usage by a single function. This is x86 specific as it depends on object files regardless of the collection method used. This is mainly of benefit to the Linux kernel as normal applications can expand their stack and do not need to worry about stack usage as much. The second module shows cumulative usage in gengraph between pairs of functions. This is really handy for showing the usage between a system call and a lower-level function to identify places where stack is used too much. See the man pages for genfull and gengraph for more information on the use of the post-processing options. Generating Graphs for the Web
Gengraph is now suitable for use with CGI scripts. To generate GIF output instead of postfix, use the -w switch. How you choose to implement is up to yourself but what I did was the following
There is no demo of this available because the webserver which hosts this project is a bit loaded. While I could run a demo, my popularity would take a bit of a dent.
Misc Notes
gcc 2.95.3, gcc 3.2.3, C++ support and reverse call graphs have *not* being extensively tested. Reports of success or failure, especially with C++, using any of the collection methods are appreciated. gcc 3.2.3 is not recommended unless you really have to use it as the build and patching to it is a little flaky. Use 3.0.4 unless there is a good reason not to.
Bugs and Feedback
Codeviz is largely unmaintained these days as it mostly does what I needed it to do. If you have specific queries, contact me directly.
The vast majority of this has been implemented by Mel Gorman (firstname.lastname@example.com). However, the diff to gcc and original cdepn.pl that this project was originally based on was written by Martin Devera (Devik) (http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik). They have since changed considerably to support other languages and be more flexible but the original idea was his, thanks Martin. Encouragement and prodding to support ncc is courtesy of the author of ncc Xanthakis Stelios (email@example.com). Support for gcc 3.3.2 and instructions on how to setup a cross-compiler were provided by Joel Soete. Finally, support for gcc 3.4.6 was provided by Michael Iatrou.

CONCORD -- When a student walks into Skip Weinstock's office at Olympic Continuation High School, the 67-year-old teacher immediately makes eye contact and asks what he can do to help.
"I focus on one student at a time, one moment at a time," says the gray-haired, gray-bearded educator, who has taught at the school for 41 years. "While you have my attention, you get 100 percent of me."
Many students think the world of Weinstock, whom they call "Skip." They credit him with keeping them focused on school and helping them figure out what they want to do in life.
"Skip is the kind of person who will take you aside and say, 'You need to get yourself together,'" said Cookieey Ropati, a 17-year-old foster youth living in Pittsburg. "He gives us tough love. He is a father figure for me."
Weinstock said he stayed at the campus for more than four decades because he is committed to working with those who have struggled in life. Olympic accepts students who are behind in credits or who have difficulty fitting in at traditional high schools for a variety of reasons.
Because many students learn by doing, Weinstock cofounded the Service Learning Program on campus in 1976, in which students work in schools and other community organizations. The experience and exposure to new work environments encourages them to pursue careers or areas of study they might not have otherwise considered.
He and a colleague also began the school's leadership program decades ago. Although another teacher took it over for a few years, Weinstock is back in charge this year, getting students revved up for a mock election in November.
At one school board meeting where students were invited to talk about teachers who help and encourage them, Weinstock stood out for the all the right reasons. After hearing the comments, Superintendent Steven Lawrence said: "We need to clone Skip."
Weinstock's devotion to helping others does not stop when the school day ends. About 25 years ago, he began tutoring teens in county detention centers through the Contra Costa County Office of Education.
After several years, he switched from working with juvenile offenders to tutoring homeless women in the Lyle Morris Family Center in Antioch. The women are pursuing their General Education Development certificates, also through the County Office of Education.
"Although I don't know if it's true," he joked, "I refer to myself as the longest lasting part-time employee of the County Office of Education."
Weinstock also works as an educational consultant for Youth Homes, which serves foster youth, by helping place students in local schools.
"I think I have a special place in my heart for people," he said. "My compassion and my drive and my motivation and my desire is to work with populations of learners who have not taken the easy road."
Students at Olympic High say Weinstock treats them with respect and understanding. And he isn't afraid to challenge them, despite their trouble keeping up with their peers at traditional high schools before transferring to Olympic.
"The challenges have to be tempered with an understanding of their experiences, so that what you're asking of them you believe in your heart they can accomplish and you show them that you believe in them," he said. "I think that's the key."
Ruth Zetina, 17, said many students come to Olympic feeling like there are no solutions to their problems, but Weinstock has helped see that is not true at all. "Students usually come into Olympic thinking, 'I screwed up. I wasn't able to succeed' and they feel like there's no hope," she said. "I think his program has helped us succeed in what we want and (to) not look back."
Weinstock also expects them to figure out how to overcome mistakes.
"I want kids to recognize that when they do something they agreed they wouldn't or shouldn't do -- that life goes on and you can make amends if you have to -- and you don't run away," he said.
Although he's reached retirement age, Weinstock said he has no plans yet to leave the job he loves. His students are happy about that.
"He is keeping kids off the streets," Ropati said. "He is the best thing that ever happened to Olympic High School."

WALNUT CREEK -- Salma Schempp's fond memories of Kabul aren't the images the world knows today.
Even though she was 13-years-old when she left her home in Afghanistan, Schempp remembers Kabul as a city of beautiful architecture and stylish women. While on a trip to Italy years ago, Schempp said the country captivated her.
"When I first visited Lake Como, it felt like home," said Schempp. "I didn't want to leave. The culture was similar to my own."
On a recent cold and overcast day, Schempp sat in front of the fireplace in her Walnut Creek home attired in her own designs -- a rust-colored jacket-blouse and beige pants by Prima Jiva, her own clothing company. Schempp said she inherited an eye for design from her mother, who designed Schempp's clothes when she was a child.
"My mom had a passion for beauty and art, and my grandmother was a very powerful woman," she said.
Schempp's grandmother, a principal for a girls' school in Afghanistan, was one of the first Afghan women to study outside of the country.
"They were both independent women," Schempp said. "My mother worked as an administrative assistant for a university in Afghanistan. She dressed up every morning in these amazing, timeless pieces and I remember being in awe of her style. She didn't follow the trend. What she put on brought out her unique sense of style that represented who she really was."
It was this philosophy that fueled Schempp's own designs and vision for Prima Jiva -- to create timeless designs that are comfortable and stylish for the contemporary career woman. Prima Jiva, which means "higher self," combining Italian and Sanskrit words, produces clothes in the Bay Area with natural fabrics such as bamboo and linen.
Orinda resident and writing coach Cynthia Leslie-Bole said Schempp's background in art as well as healing and spirituality have influenced her designs and makes her unique in the clothing industry.
"I have many of her gorgeous pieces and they are comfortable, casual yet sophisticated, perfectly packable for travel, and best of all, they flatter any body type," Leslie-Bole said. "Prima Jiva has a strong philanthropic mission as well and sponsors a number of charities from their profits."
For the past two years, Schempp has participated in the local Women of Wellness Conference and will be a part of the Afghan Women Coalition event in the East Bay in March. Schempp donates a percentage of all Prima Jiva sales to local and international charities, including Daraja Academy for Girls in Kenya, Children of War in Afghanistan and the Meridian Health Foundation.
Schempp said her design dreams have come a long way from the days when, as a 1983 graduate of Mt. Diablo High School in Concord, she wanted to become a fashion designer but couldn't afford to go to design school.
"So I went to Diablo Beauty College and worked as a hairstylist for a while," Schempp said.
She then took art and photography classes and years later took an "MBA crash course" at John F. Kennedy University in Pleasant Hill at the advice of friends who suggested she acquire entrepreneurial skills to help her market her clothing company.
The impetus of Prima Jiva began in 1995 with her own search for the perfect dress for her wedding. Seeking something that was comfortable, stylish yet timeless seemed a lot to ask for, even amid the fabulous designs of the mid 1990s. So Schempp designed her own classic piece to wear on her special day. Her zest for designing a wardrobe that was timeless and encouraged women to embrace their desire for individuality prompted the birth of Prima Jiva. Her clothing designs are inspired by her own spiritual search toward self discovery, inspired by the women in her life and her travels including spending two weeks at an ashram in India. She said she hopes women who wear her clothes become empowered with a higher sense of self and self-expression.
Schempp said the design aspect is the driving force of Prima Jiva. From her travels in Italy to the villages of Katmandu and Marrakech, women all over the world inspire her everyday. During her travels she would observe the casual, carefree way clothes were draped over these women's bodies. She would also collect scarves, jewelry and unique pieces from these cities to inspire her designs, she said.
"I wanted to see how these different women lived and adorned themselves with such dignity and grace," she said. "These were clothes that represented who they are."
She points to the details that make her designs stand out -- the silk ribbon that adorns the side of the pants she wore that gives the illusion of an elongated, feminine shape.
"What I'm wearing now represents who I am," Schempp said.
Leslie-Bole said she never paid attention to the world of fashion because it all seems too contrived and impractical, necessitating buying a whole new wardrobe every season. But Schempp's clothes have given her an easy, sophisticated look "that resonates with who I am and how I want to be seen in the world."
"They make me feel feminine, comfortable, and stylish, and they give me confidence that, as a middle-aged woman, I can still look great and feel good at the same time," Leslie-Bole said.

Making a good shot is one of the great joys in waterfowl hunting. Indeed, shooting is the pinnacle of this sport. Everything else - scouting, building blinds, setting decoys, calling, everything – is a lead-up to that moment when you shoulder your gun and fire. Making a clean kill gives you an immediate sense of pride in a job well done.
So, how do you become a good shot? How can you convert misses into hits? What can you do to improve your accuracy and hold your own with more seasoned shooters in the blind or pit?
Good shooting is a mix of coordination, concentration and confidence. Good shooting is more instinctive than mechanical. It's a skill that is honed through adept coaching and lots of practice, similar to other athletic endeavors.
Here's a list of 10 tips for becoming a better shot on ducks and geese. Put these suggestions into practice and you'll shoot better and enjoy your hunting more.

Product Details
This lambswool sweater is knit using heavy-gauge yarns. What does that mean? Thicker-than-normal yarns equal a superwarm, textured look.
Size & Fit Details
Lambswool sweater
Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 11 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by JSchick Less than expected The sweater has a nice fit for someone like me, who has an athletic build at 5'9" and 185 lbs. A size large offers enough room in the chest, shoulders, and arms while not being baggy or boxy, whereas the actual slim fit was too tight for someone like me. The colors are also nice. Where the sweater falls short is in the quality. While the sweater is described as a heavy gauge knit, it is paper thin for a lambswool sweater, and noticeably thinner than JCrew lambswool sweaters offered in the past, yet the price keeps climbing. The wool is also very stiff and scratchy. My JCrew sweaters from just 3 or 4 years ago are significantly better made, with thicker and softer yarn. This sweater was disappointing, and I returned mine for a competitor's offering. December 20, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Johnny99 Nice, classic sweater--but could be softer Every year I buy a few of these lambswool sweaters--great fit, classic style, good for layering. This year I purchased three, and found them to be of a good quality, but not as soft/fine as the same sweater from previous years. November 21, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by rennie Smaller and scratchier than years past I have bought my husband 1 or 2 of these sweaters every year for the past several years (in navy, teal, and brown). I ordered "Heather Evergreen" in size Small, his usual size, this year, and thought there must have been a mistake when I pulled it out of the package, because it looks like something I could wear. I compared it to a navy lambswool sweater from a couple years ago, and the sleeves on the new size Small are at least 1 inch shorter. The sweater is also slightly narrower and shorter. And to top if off, the wool feel scratchier than it used to. I realize wool feels softer after wear, but this definitely is rougher than it used to be. I will re-order in the size medium because my husband is a creature of habit, but keep in mind the differences in size and quality if you are a long-time fan of this style. December 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Alex Warm and stylish I really like that sweater, it is warm, it looks very good, it is not itchy. I liked it so much I came back back and bought similar sweater in a different color November 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jason Great Sweater The fit of this item is exactly what I wanted. The weight on the sweater is great (not to heavy or too light). Perfect for layering in the fall/winter. November 10, 2015

5 of the Most "Christmassy" Places in the United States
There really isn't a bad place to go for Christmas. Every town seems to have their own unique way of celebrating. Whether its town pageants, parades, or visits from Santa Claus, everywhere you go you can find various traditions and new, fun ways to celebrate the holidays. However, there are some towns that really go above and beyond the normal Christmas celebrations. Here is a list of 5 of the most "Christmassy" places in the United States:
Santa Claus, Indiana. Well this one is a no brainer. With the town being named after the jolly man who visits us once a year with treats and toys for all, it is impossible for this town not to be overwhelmed with all things Christmas. The town has lived up to the Christmas spirit one would expect and has been dubbed "America's Christmas Hometown."
McAdenville, North Carolina. This tiny town may be small, but its Christmas spirit is anything but. McAdenville, which is also known as Christmas Town USA, celebrates the holidays by transforming into the largest holiday light display in the United States. The town also celebrates with over 375 decorated trees and 200 wreaths throughout the town, as well as a life-size Nativity display. Hundreds of thousands of visitors make the trek every year to witness the Christmas spirit of this tiny town.
New York City, New York. From the famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree to the holiday performances by the Radio City Rockettes, the Christmas spirit is alive and well in New York City. The city is also known for its incredible window displays and the Christmas lights and decorations that seem to cover the city from head to toe.
Branson, Missouri. Branson may be known for its entertainment, but during Christmas this town becomes even more alive than usual. The city is most well known for its Festival of Lights. Drawing in about a million and a half visitors every year, this six week festival features amazing parades, bands, musicals, fountain displays, and a unique Christmas cattle drive.
Woodstock, Vermont. If you picture a 19th century Christmas with a horse and buggy trekking through the snow, then you also just happen to be picturing modern-day Christmas in Woodstock. This town is well known for its Wassail Weekend celebration that features Nordic-inspired culture and traditions with a strong emphasis on Christmas spirit.
Really no matter where you go, it is hard not to feel and witness the wonderful character of Christmas. However, if you are looking for a unique experience, take a vacation from your normal traditions and try celebrating the holidays in one of these Christmassy towns.
Safe Travels and Happy Holidays,
The VacationRoost Team

Two men charged in an incident after one urinated on a neighbor's front door
Published: Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 9:56 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 2, 2013 at 9:56 p.m.
A woman at Southern Pines Apartment Complex opened her front door Friday night to find an intoxicated man peeing on it.
According to a report from Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office, the woman heard her neighbors having a party. When she went to see what was going on, she heard what she said sounded like water running down her door.
When she opened the door, she saw Alexander Filimonov, 22, of 472 Buncombe St. in Woodruff, urinating. When he saw her, he quickly turned, continuing to urinate on the wall, then walked into the neighboring apartment, according to the report.
When a deputy responded, the resident, Daniil Byndyu, 19, allowed police inside. They found five males all "grossly intoxicated" and two underage girls who showed no signs of alcohol consumption during a screening. The girls identified Filimonov as the one who peed on the neighbor's door, according to the report.
Filimonov was charged with disorderly conduct, and Byndyu was charged with possession of liquor by a minor, according to online records from Spartanburg County Jail.

18-year-old Joshua Hazelton, a suspected killer, is now accused of wreckless driving and injuring a police officer. It spanned four counties. McDuffie County as well as state officials were led on a very long and dangerous pursuit.
8:35 a.m. turned out to be a very big wake up call.
"It pretty much just got here and it all unfolded before we could set up or do anything," said Don Hilson, Thomson Police Officer.
Officer Don Hilson's patrol car helped put the brakes on a high speed chase after eighteen-year-old Joshua Hazelton, wanted for murder in Dekalb county, opened fire near I-20. He then escaped on wheels before slamming head on into Hilson.
"This is the worst accident I've been in," Hilson said.
"He drove very wrecklessly, he passed on curves and on double yellow lines and on a hill, blind curves," said Mark Bentley, Post Commander, Georgia State Patrol.
Sergeant Mark Bentley has reviewed this footage several times. It was taken by a deputy's dash cam arriving on the scene just seconds after the crash. It was nothing but smoke and sirens at the intersection.
"I'm very glad that it ended as well as it did in spite of the damage to property and potential for injury that was there," Bentley said.
Police later recovered Hazelton's gun in the woods where he surrendered, still filled with bullets, their intentions unknown.
"I imagine our guys got our hands on 'em I expect and put the cuffs on him and brought him out," said John Hathaway, Thomson Police Chief.
An image that will help officials throughout four counties sleep a little easier after a fast-faced morning winds down. But their investigation won't be taking a back seat anytime soon.
"We've been in contact with the McDuffie County DA's office in reference to charges," Bentley said.

VIENNA - In her 14 years as director of the Good Samaritan Center, Sue Rhymer has seen dramatic changes in the number of people the center assists.
Rhymer, who will retire later this month, was honored with a surprise reception Thursday at Wayside United Methodist Church after the Good Samaritan Center's monthly board meeting.
Rhymer began volunteering at the center 15 years ago after she retired from teaching nursing at West Virginia University-Parkersburg.

Sue Rhymer, director of the Good Samaritan Center, was honored with a reception Thursday to mark her retirement at the end of the month.
"I just wanted to get involved and do something to help people," she said. "I was going to church here and knew it was here, so I asked if I could volunteer."
Rhymer said she started working there one day a week.
"After a year, the director at the time began to have failing health and as his health failed I took on more responsibility," she said.
Rhymer said she will be succeeded by co-directors Cathy Bauman and Barbara Peyton. Rhymer's last day will be Jan. 31.
In the years since she began volunteering, she said she is seeing the children of the people the center helped when she started.
"It's a cycle. When I began we averaged six or so families with food each month and helped about seven people with utilities; now we feed on average 81 each month and we help 70 people with utility bills."
Rhymer said the food pantry portion of the Good Samaritan Center serves Vienna, College Parkway down to Lakeview, Rosemar Road and the Summit and Central areas. She said the food bank portion of the center is part of the Wood County Food Co-op which divides the county into 20 areas.
Financial assistance for prescriptions and utilities are not restricted to a service area.
Rhymer found a 1981 article about the center making 34 Christmas boxes; in 2012 they made up 160 boxes.
"I remember when we used to do the boxes we wrapped them- not now," she said. "Wrapping paper just got too expensive, although we were able to get some bargains. Also, when the boxes were put in the trucks the paper was messed up anyway."
Rhymer said the center began operating in 1975, a year after she and her husband became members of the church.
When she began, the Good Samaritan Center was housed in two rooms in the lower level of Wayside United Methodist Church across from the fellowship hall.
When the church expanded in 2005 with a new hall, the Good Samaritan Center got a new home in the former fellowship hall.
"When we moved in there Jim Oppe, owner of the Foodland stores, brought over shelves from his old store," she said. "They installed the shelves and he calls it the mini grocery store."
Another change has been in the way they distribute the food.
"At one time we just gave people a bag of food and many times they'd pick out items they said they didn't use," she said. "Now we ask them what they want, which means less food is wasted."
At one time the center had a clothes closet, but that was discontinued when the space opened up and Goodwill opened a store in Vienna.

VOLUME 15, NUMBER 22 THE SHOOTING MONTH JANUARY 1$, 1987 Tribal electronics enterprise's quality rating moves up a notch PABLO -- The management of S & K Electronics recently learned that its production-standards quality rating has been upgraded to the second-highest level of the military's four-layer system. SKE board of directors chairman Bob Gauthier reported to the Tribal Council Jan. 9 that the Tribal electronics firm had just been certified for "MIL-Q" work by the Department of Defense (DOD). Acting general manager Larry Hall explains that products are judged under four sets of increasingly-stringent standards. The first is "commercial", followed by "MIL-I", "MIL-Q", and NAS\-quality. "MIL-Q is the highest standard of product not going into space that the military will buy," Hall said. In addition to the vote-of-confidence aspect, the certification means SKE can bid for a wider variety of projects against a smaller roster of equally-capable firms. "There are a lot of electronics companies in America, but not many are MIL-Q certified, " Hall said. A smaller group of competitors may mean more business for the Pablo company. In other SKE news, board chairman Gauthier said indications are that the enterprise, which was incorporated a The Salish Kootenai College Upward Bound Program has openings for students from the Flathead Reservation community. The program is designed to assist students who would like to go on to college after high school. This is a federal program that is open to all residents of the Reservation, regardless of race, religion, or national origin. In order to qualify for the program, students must be either first-generation college students or low- little over two years ago, may be profit-making sometime this June. They are actively seeking contracts with a variety of private-sector companies, in addition to continuing work on three current contracts with the military, he said. Gauthier also reported Jan. 9 that general manager Rick Farrell had resigned "because he has been offered another job". He said he didn't expect any problems to result from Farrell's move. "It's a team effort up there," he said. "Rick was the right guy at the right time." Another new face around the place will belong to a new board member, whose selection hasn't been announced yet The young firm, which is located two miles north of Pablo, employs around 30 people, Gauthier said, 85% of which are Tribal members. income. A first-generation college student is a person whose parents have not received a four-year bachelor's degree from a university.
