Robert Hilburn's upcoming Johnny Cash: The Life is one of the Fall books I'm most excited about. Hilburn knew Johnny Cash throughout his life, and his book is well researched, appreciative, and clear-eyed. Cash is one of the most authentic guys you'll find in music, and this book makes that clear–Cash had a lot of problems in his life, and he caused problems for others who were close to him, but he remained a man of genuine artistry and empathy.
Robert Hilburn was kind enough to answer some questions about Cash and I'm thrilled to share that interview here.
Johnny Cash: The Life will be available October 29, 2013.
Chris Schluep: You were at the Folsom Prison concert. What was that like, and did you have a sense at the time that you were partaking in something historical?
Robert Hilburn: I was just getting started as a freelance music writer for the Los Angeles Times and I thought the idea of writing about Johnny Cash—the man who wrote "Folsom Prison Blues" actually singing the song at Folsom State Prison—was a natural. To my surprise, an editor at the paper rejected the idea. His words, "We don't want to give any space to that drug addict." And that was Cash's reputation at the time. He missed so many concerts that his own record label, Columbia, refused to invite press to the date; the last thing they wanted was another "no show" article. But I heard about the concert through a Los Angeles disc jockey and, after getting my editor to change his mind, found myself the only music writer on the scene.
The show was spectacular. Cash was as charismatic as anyone I had ever seen on a stage. More importantly, he conveyed grand artistry and purpose. Rather than simply do his regular show at Folsom, he tailored a set list specifically for his audience. Because of his own troubled lifestyle, he empathized with the prisoners. He knew how it felt to stand before his loved ones in handcuffs and to face the future without hope—and he reflected those shared feelings in his music. I left Folsom with a standard of artistry that I applied to performers for the rest of my years as a pop critic. I didn't know the album would open the door to superstardom for Cash, but I knew it was a classic moment in American pop culture.
CS: How do you feel he was misunderstood as an artist?
RH: Cash was more troubled in his personal life and more influential in his professional life than even his biggest fans realize—and it was that mixture of career accomplishment and frequent personal turmoil that was at the intersection of Cash's story and legacy. The drugs were just the tip of the iceberg in the story of Cash's troubles. Even more daunting was his lifelong guilt over having abandoned his four girls and his failure to fully live up to his spiritual ideals. At the same time in a profession where success is measured almost exclusively in hits, Cash wasn't a singer whose ambition was another hit on the jukebox. He wanted most of all to make music that lifted people's spirits, especially the downtrodden. Cash's music was rooted in folk and country, but his recordings eventually reached all the way into rock and even hip-hop circles. There was something wonderfully universal about him.
CS: You knew Johnny Cash through his life, but you also did a lot of research for the book. What's an example of something that surprised you about him while you were performing your research?
RH: One of the first things I learned about Johnny is I had to double-check everything he said: He wasn't one to let facts interfere with a good story. He wasn't so much trying to mislead people as make the stories more colorful. One of my favorites involved the writing of "Folsom Prison Blues." Though Cash said time and again that he wrote the song in 1951 after seeing a movie about Folsom during his Air Force days in Germany, I learned he, in fact, wrote it three years after seeing the movie—and then only after hearing another song, pop composer Gordon Jenkins' 'Crescent City Blues," that gave him the outline. I had heard pieces of the story, but didn't know the specifics until I sent an email questionnaire to the members of Johnny's old Air Force squadron. One of the questions was whether they had ever heard of "Crescent City Blues." To my delight, one airman, Chuck Riley, replied he had not only bought the Jenkins album on a "whim" but that he was also playing it in the barracks in late 1953 or early 1954 when Johnny happened by. Cash was so intrigued "Crescent City Blues" that he asked Riley to borrow the album so he could make a tape of the song. Over the next few months, Cash changed the song from a tale of lost love to a lonely prison setting. Though he made significant alterations, Jenkins eventually sued for copyright infringement—and Cash agreed to a $75,000 settlement. It was a small price to pay. If Cash had never heard Riley's copy of the obscure album, it's unlikely he would have ever written a song called "Folsom Prison Blues."
CS: In your view, why is Johnny Cash a legend?
RH: Early in life, Cash was moved by music—especially country and gospel—because it lifted his family's spirits as they worked the cotton fields in Arkansas. As he got older, he would see music continue to give people comfort and hope, and that appealed to him. Cash also had a remarkable ability to empathize with his audience, whether it was young soldiers in Vietnam or Native Americans or the aged. In turn, his audience felt an attachment to him. He wasn't just an entertainer, but someone who shared his audience's hopes and concerns and values. He came across as authentic, trustworthy and unique. As Bob Dylan said, "Johnny was and is the North Star; you could guide your ship by him—the greatest of the greats."

I first saw Johnny Cash in a movie theater in Olive Branch, Mississippi, in the fall of 1955 or winter of 1956. He came on after the movie of the night. He was late having recorded "I Walk the Line" and "Get Rhythm" that afternoon/evening at Sun Record studios in Memphis. He did those two songs with his four previously recorded numbers: "Hey Porter," "Cry, Cry, Cry," "Folsom Prison Blues" and "I Get So Doggone Lonesome" with his band--then called the "Tennessee Two." It was an incredible experience. A group four of us (including a great guitar player) went on to do his music in FFA competitions and high school performances in north Mississippi for over a year.

There are actresses who can make their way through a tune, and there are singers who can occasionally act. And then there's Bernadette Peters.
The consummate Broadway star, Peters brought her distinct talent as a true singing actress to New Orleans this week, performing Thursday night with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. For concert-goers, this dazzling night will be remembered as the musical highlight of the year.
Performing an expansive program of songs, both from musicals with which she is strongly associated, as well as the songs she said she always wished she could've sung on stage, Peters brought the characters behind every number to life. Each song played out as a fully developed scene.
Opening with a jazzy riff on "Let Me Entertain You," from "Gypsy," Peters went on to do just that for an hour and a half of pure musical magic.
Poured into a sleek, pale lavender beaded gown, proudly showcasing her legendary figure, she was the epitome of the glamorous Broadway star. But even in the expansive arena-like space of the New Orleans Theater of the Morial Convention Center, Peters established a feeling of intimacy, especially with the softer numbers in which she seemed to make individual connections with each member of the audience. Her easy repartee between numbers revealed a playful sense of humor.
For her song selections, Peters doesn't always go with the most obvious choices. When describing "Carousel" as one of her favorite musicals as a child, I was ready for a lush rendering of "If I Loved You." Instead, Peters found both comic charm and a lilting poignancy in the less-often heard "Mr. Snow." Her characterization of the lovestruck young girl was one of many brilliant moments of acting, as well as singing, that Peters created throughout the evening.
Among the shows in which she's starred, Peters enjoys singing the songs she didn't get to sing in those shows. Even crossing gender selections, however, she made each delightfully her own. From "South Pacific," a vampy reading of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" was later followed by a sumptuous performance of "Some Enchanted Evening."
Striding the top of the grand piano with feline-like grace, she essayed the sultriest rendition of "Fever" this side of Peggy Lee. In a lush rendition of "When You Wish Upon a Star," hints of that cute, kewpie doll voice of the youthful comedienne also rang true.
But the pinnacle moments of this concert came with the songs of one composer. No star today owns the music of Stephen Sondheim as surely as Bernadette Peters. Her acting chops allow her to deftly handle the monolith of words of a Sondheim score, while her wide-ranging voice can plumb the depths of emotion.
Peters clearly has shepherded that voice well. While Thursday unbelievably marked her 65th birthday, it's clear she's not looking to retirement anytime soon. Her top notes still ring like a bell and as a Broadway belter, she wears the mantle of Merman well. Even in the lowest register, she makes that little growling timbre work to her advantage, eliciting every drop of emotion from a song.
From "Into the Woods," "No One is Alone" and "Children Will Listen" provided moments of wistful beauty. The comic twists and turns of "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" (usually sung by a trio of ladies in "Company") was joyfully funny.
Few singers can take a song as often heard as "Send in the Clowns" and make it fresh. But as Peters sang it as a still, quiet moment of self-revelation, its appeal was both true and new.
Acknowledging her most recent Broadway appearance in the lauded revival of "Follies," Peters opened her heart with "In Buddy's Eyes," and then proceeded to break hearts with the intensely moving "Losing My Mind."
The LPO proved to be a fine Broadway pit band, offering not only wonderful support of its guest star but finding depths of beauty and richness in the several orchestral overtures that opened the concert, ranging from the old-fashioned, brassy sounds of "Annie Get Your Gun" or Gypsy" to the elegant tone poem of the overture to "Follies."
The energetic and affable conductor, Marvin Laird, Peters' own longtime musical director, led the orchestra with precision and showmanship. His banter with the audience before Peters made her entrance set the relaxed, pleasant tone for the evening.
For an encore, it would seem difficult to top the powerhouse rendering of "Being Alive," Sondheim's great anthem from "Company." But Peters ended the night with a gentle lullaby of her own, the touching "Kramer's Song," from her book and CD for the animal shelter charity "Broadway Barks." It was a sweet ending to a stellar night.

• One hundred ninety-four patients undergoing elective general abdominal surgery were randomized in a single-blind study to receive one daily subcutaneous injection of a low-molecular-weight heparin, dalteparin sodium (2500 IU, n=97) or nadroparin calcium (3075 IU, n=97), two regimens that are approved in Europe to prevent deep venous thrombosis. On the eighth postoperative day, bilateral ascending leg phlebography (n=185) showed the presence of deep venous thrombosis in 45 cases (24.3%; 95% confidence interval, 18% to 31%), with a significantly higher rate (on intention-to-treat) among the patients who received the lower dosage (30 vs 15 deep venous thromboses). We conclude that the two regimens of low-molecular-weight heparin that were used in this study failed to prevent postoperative phlebographically proved deep venous thrombosis in one of four patients.

The first ever Release Series edition Scion FR-S is about to hit the dealerships very soon, but before it does we wanted to show a behind the scenes look of the making of the Walkaround video. Using a controlled environment with fluorescent studio lighting, we were able to capture the vibrant "Yuzu" Yellow color on the Scion FR-S Release Series 1.0.
The production team sets up a shot to show the new TRD® Designed Aero Kit with 3-Piece Rear Spoiler. Also new for the Release Series 1.0 is the TRD® Quad Tip Exhaust System.
Like the Scion Monogram Series FR-S, the sporty coupe comes with HID Headlamps with LED Daytime Running Lights.
Notice something different? TRD® supplied an aero-friendly Side Fender Garnish.
The studio was equipped with a massive fluorescent light overhang and was powerful enough to light up the whole studio. Although the room was brightly lit, the crew thought it was best to reduce the light exposure to perfectly capture the "Yuzu" Yellow. With the help of a few extra light panels and reflectors, the FR-S was sitting in awe-inspiring look with the help of the TRD® Lowering Springs.
Be sure to look out for other features like the Smart Key with Push-Button Start, Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, TRD® Steering Wheel with Red Accents, Release Series Sequentially Numbered TRD® Shifter Bezel, TRD® Leather-Trimmed Shift Knob and TRD® Logo Cargo Mat in the upcoming Scion FR-S Release Series Walkaround video scheduled to come out soon. To find out more information on the Scion FR-S RS1, check out Scion.com. Only 1,500 will be produced!

Macromolecular association and dissociation are key events involved in the subcellular organisation below the limit of optical resolution. Foersters/Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) in combination with Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) is among the best quantitative methods to probe these events at the subcellular regime. In this work, FRET dynamics of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) based tandem constructs were investigated in living cells using a combination of FLIM and Fluorescence Lifetime Micro-Spectroscopy (FLMS) at picosecond time resolution and nanometer spectral resolution. Simultaneous detection and analysis of intensity decays of donor and acceptor probes as coupled excited state reactions identified the lifetimes participating in energy transfer. This method differentiated the involvement of multiple conformations of Cyan Fluorescent Protein (CFP) in energy transfer to Yellow Fluorescent Protein (YFP), by plotting pre-exponential factors of individual lifetimes along the wavelength resulting in the Decay Associated Spectra (DAS). A change in sign of pre-exponential factors from positive to negative at the acceptor emission maxima confirmed FRET in the multiexponential lifetime analysis. This approach discriminated the intramolecular energy transfer dynamics between the tandem constructs which differed in spacer lengths down to eight amino acids. The results allowed to obtain a kinetic model for FRET occurring from multi-exponential CFP to monoexponential YFP, which was a basis for interpreting results using the same fluorophores in the context of various biological applications like protein folding and conformational changes. Lymphocyte specific protein tyrosine kinase (Lck) is among the first proteins to be recruited to the immunological synapse, implicating its importance in T cell signalling. Results from FRET-FLIM studies suggested that in resting T-lymphocytes Lck exists in equilibrium between closed (passive) and open (active) conformations. The structural prediction from the FRET-FLIM studies was coherent with the existing hypothesis for the structure of Src kinases. In stimulated T-lymphocytes, Lck indicated a temporary reversible change in its conformation from the closed to an open state. These transient changes were in correlation with the reported kinase activity of Lck, where an initial increase in kinase activity was observed during the early moments of formation of an immunological synapse, which returned to the basal level in 20 min. Membrane-associated guanylate kinases (MAGUKs) are multidomain molecules pivotal in the architecture of various cell-adhesion interfaces. Synapse-associated protein 97/Human Discs Large (SAP97/hDlg) interacts with the SH3 domain of Lck using the proline-rich region at the N-terminus of the protein. The exon encoding this proline-rich region is subject to alternative splicing. The absence of Lck as well as the expression of the protein lacking its proline-rich region was observed to affect the localisation of SAP97/hDlg to T cell-bead interfaces or mock immunological synapses. The changes of intramolecular FRET in the conserved SH3-HOOK-GUK unit at the C-terminus of different MAGUKs (SAP97/hDlg and SAP90/PSD95) in response to elevated calcium levels were investigated. The observed changes were ascribed to the formation of parallel or anti-parallel dimers, creating a rigid molecular framework of cytoplasmic scaffolds. Thus, with a combination of advanced microscopic methods, cell biology and molecular modelling, activity-dependent structural regulation and intramolecular association of multidomain proteins were studied during the initial moments of cell recognition events. The transient conformational changes and activity-dependent distribution of Lck and MAGUKs could be central in signal transduction machineries, efficiently distributing signals within the immunological synapse, and at the same time involved in preparing a dynamic molecular platform for assembling near-membrane scaffolding molecules.

Senior Software Developer
This post will explain how to configure the compiler and other tools that will be necessary for you to build the External Calling examples that will come in later posts. This is an advanced topic and so this post is fairly complex.
First, I am going to be using the compilers via the command line, so you will need to familarize yourself with the terminal program on your particular OS. You'll have to do this for yourself, but here are a few starting points:
I am going to assume that Linux and Solaris users are familar with using the terminal.
For Linux, Apple and Solaris, I am going to use gcc as the compiler. For Linux you should use your distribution's package management system to get it, for Apple you need to install Xcode and for Solaris, well, gcc is probably already installed or you'll want to talk to you sys admin to have it installed (or if you are your own sys admin, you probably know how to install gcc for yourself). For Windows, you need to install the Windows Software Development Kit. If you already have a copy of Visual Studio C++ (Express or Professional) installed, then you already have these tools.
I am also going to use the "make" program to manage the building of the examples, thus you will need to install a version of make as well (you won't need to learn how make works unless you want to modify the examples). I will be using gnu make, which should be easy to install on Linux and Solaris (similar to how you installed gcc) and it is included in Xcode for Apple. For Windows, use this:
Installing 32 bit make on 64 bit windows is fine.
Now you'll need to launch a terminal. For Linux, Apple and Solaris this should be easy, on Windows go to the Windows SDK folder (or Windows Visual Studio folder) on the Start menu, there should be an icon for Windows SDK Command Prompt. Click that to launch the terminal. This version of the terminal has the environment configured to run the compiler.
On Windows you'll also have to add the location you installed make to your path, which can be done on 32 bit windows like this:
path=%PATH%;C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin
and on 64 bit Windows like this:
path=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin
assuing you used the default install location for make.
You can test this by running "make" in the terminal. If everything is set up correctly, make should run but not find a Makefile and it will raise an error. If the path is not set properly, make won't be found you'll get a message saying that.
Path not set properly:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1>make'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.
Set the path:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1>path=%PATH%;"C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin"
Make is now found, but there is no makefile in the current directory
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1>makemake: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
As a final test, I've attached a small example (test.zip) that contains a Makefile and a simple source file. If you extract the files to a new directory, go to that new directoy in the terminal and run make (with make added to the path as described above) it should build an executable (test or test.exe). You can run the executable by executing "test" on the command line.
By default the Makefile is configured for Windows, so Windows users won't need to change it, however other users will need to comment out the
line in Makefile by changing it to
I know this is a little confusing, especially if you are not familar with the command line interface, therefore I encourage you post replies if you have problems. Hopefully we will be able to answer your questions. Once everyone has figured out how to get this simple example to compile and run on their system, the upcoming external calling examples will be (relatively) easy.
Good Luck!
I've had a few request to provide some more information on External Calling, so I thought I would make a few posts about it. This first post will be a high level description of External Calling and how it works, with examples coming later. As External Calling is an advanced topic, I am going to assume you know how to compile a shared library and are generally familiar with the C language. Although this first post won't require any real programming knowledge.
What is External Calling?
External Calling is the name for Maple's ability to connect to and call functions from other programming languages. Maple uses this for various reasons. We have written our own libraries in C, C++ and Java to solve particular problems. We partner with various labs around the world who have developed code, often in languages like C or C++, so external calling is used to interface with their code. We also connect to high performance libraries like NAG and BLAS to provide those high performance routines in Maple. Of course, you can use External Calling to connect Maple to your code as well.
Although Maple can call various programming languages, the most common languages we connect to are C and C++, and those are the languages I am going to focus on.
How does it work?
In Maple, you call ?define_external or use the ?ExternalCalling package. Both these methods take a description of the function that you want to call and returns a Maple procedure. Normally you would assign the procedure to a name and then call the externally defined function just like any other Maple procedure.
There are a couple different ways to use define_external to connect to a shared library, the differences are mostly concerned with how the parameters given in Maple are converted to parameters used in the external function.
The first two forms of external calling are the easiest to do, however they are also the most limited. Internally we exclusively (I think) use the third, custom wrapper, form of external calling. That is the form I am going to talk about.
Custom Wrapper
The name "custom wrapper" is a bit of a misnomer. The function that you write does not need to "wrap" anything, it can implement anything you want. As long as you can convert the result into a Maple data structure, you can pass it back into Maple. In fact Maple also supports returning generic data, via the ?MaplePointer routines, but that is a more complex topic for a later blog post.
Your external function is simply a C function with the following calling convention:
ALGEB CustomWrapper( MKernelVector kv, ALGEB args )
ALGEB is the C data type that represents a Maple data structure. The MKernelVector is a data structure that acts as an intermediary between your external calling routines and the Maple engine. You will need to pass this structure back into the External Calling API functions. Both of these types, plus the External Calling API functions are defined in a header, maplec.h, that needs to be included in your code. I will provide more details when I provide examples.
The External Calling API
The External Calling API is a set of functions that we make available for working with the Maple Engine from external code. Maple also allows third party applications to load the Maple engine as a shared library, we call this ?OpenMaple. The External Calling functions are also available in OpenMaple, so you will often see OpenMaple used in the Maple help pages. Most functions can be used in both OpenMaple and External Calling, except for a few that are OpenMaple specific and involve starting and stopping the Maple Engine.
Maple's help system documents all the External Calling functions so you can see what is available. There is an overview of the external calling functions on this page, ?ExternalCalling,C,API. Briefly, however there are functions for converting Maple types to C and back, creating and interacting with Maple data structures (list, set, rtable, table, string, etc), creating and interacting with Maple language elements (names, procedures, etc), printing to the Maple interface, memory allocation, evaluating Maple statements and raising exceptions. There is even a C interface to the Task Programming Model.
Next Time...
In my next post I will provide some examples of using the External Calling API to actually do stuff in an externally defined procedure. However, I am going to spend some time trying to figure out the easiest way for you to get the tools you'll need to be able to develop externally defined functions yourself, so my next post might take a bit of time.
Consider the following C code:
It has been a while since my last post, mostly because of a combination of getting Maple 14 ready to ship and a lack of meaty topics to write about. I am trying to get back into the habit of posting more regularly. You can help me achieve my goal by posting questions about parallel programming. I'll do my best to answer. However for now, I'll give a brief overview of the new parallel programming features in Maple 14.
A new function has been added to the Task Programming Model. The Threads:-Task:-Return function allows a parallel algorithm implemented on top of the Task Programming Model to perform an early bail out. Lets imagine that you have implemented a parallel search. You are looking for a particular element in a large set of data. Using the Task Programming Model, you've created a bunch of tasks, each searching a particular subset of the data. However one of the first tasks to execute finds the element you are looking for. In Maple 13, there was no built in way of telling the other tasks that the result have been found and they they should not execute. In Maple 14, the Return function allows one task to specify a return value (which will be returned from Threads:-Task:-Start) and signal the other tasks that the algorithm is complete and that additional tasks should not be executed. Tasks that are already running will still run to completion, but tasks that have not started executing will not be started.
You may have noticed that there is a race condition with Return. What happens if two tasks both call Return in parallel? Only one of the values will become the value that is passed to Threads:-Task:-Start. I suppose I could say the "first" value is the one that is used, but really, what does that mean? If you call Return, then the value passed to Return should be an acceptable result for the algorithm. If you call Return more than once, any of those values should be valid, thus it shouldn't matter which one becomes the return value. That said, the Return function does give some feedback. In the task that succeeds in having its value accepted, Return will return true. In all other tasks that call Return, it will return false. This allows the code to know if a particular result was or was not accepted.
Maple 14 also adds the Task Programming Model to the C External Calling API. This means that you can write your algorithms in C and make use of the Task Programming Model. The C API is similar to the Maple API, with a few differences. In particular, you need to create each child task individually, instead of as a single call to Continue, as you would in Maple. As well, because it is C code, you need to worry about a few details like memory management that are handled automatically in Maple. Using External Call is fairly advanced, so I won't go into too much detail here. If you'd like to see more details of using the Task Programming Model in External Calling, I can write a seperated post dedicated to that.
As with every release of Maple, we spent some time trying to make our existing functionality faster and more stable. For parallel programming, we reduced the overhead of using the Task Programming Model, as well as reducing the locking in the kernel (which should help improve parallelism). Of course many bugs have been fixed, which should make parallel programming more reliable in Maple 14.
Atomic operations are CPU instructions that are guaranteed to execute in a single CPU cycle. This means that the operation is guaranteed to complete without being interrupted by the actions of another thread. Although this may not sound too exciting, careful programming using these instructions can lead to algorithms and data structures that can be used in parallel without needing locks. Maple currently does not support atomic operations, however they are an interesting tool and are used in the kernel to help improve Maple's parallelism in general.
In this post I'll take a closer look at the ways in which Maple code can be thread unsafe. If you have not already seen my post on Thread Safety, consider reading that post first. As a brief review, a procedure is thread safe if it works correctly when run in parallel.
The most obvious way in which procedures can be thread unsafe is if they share data without synchronizing access (using a Mutex, for example). So how can two threads share data?
I'd like to start by thanking all those readers who left feedback on my last post. It was good hear that most of you enjoy reading my posts and that they are generally helpful. I would like to encourage you to continue posting feedback, especially questions or comments about anything that I fail to explain sufficiently.
The following is a discussion of the limitations of parallel programming in Maple. These are the issues that we are aware of and are hoping to fix in future releases.
In my previous posts I have discussed various difficulties encountered when writing parallel algorithms. At the end of the last post I concluded that the best way to solve some of these problems is to introduce a higher level programming model. This blog post will discuss the Task Programming Model, the high level parallel programming model introduced in Maple 13.
In my previous posts I discussed the basic difference between parallel programming and single threaded programming. I also showed how controlling access to shared variables can be used to solve some of those problems. For this post, I am going to discuss more difficulties of writing good parallel algorithms.
Here are some definitions used in this post:
Consider the following example
In the previous post, I described why parallel programming is hard. Now I am going to start describing techniques for writing parallel code that works correctly.
First some definitions.
In my previous post, I tried to convince you that going parallel is necessary for high performance applications. In this post, I am going to show what makes parallel programming different, and why that makes it harder.
We think of a function as a series of discrete steps. Lets say a function f, is composed of steps f1, f2, f3... e.g.
Computers with multiple processors have been around for a long time and people have been studying parallel programming techniques for just as along. However only in the last few years have multi-core processors and parallel programming become truly mainstream. What changed?
Here are some definitions for terms used in this post:
For years, processors designers had been able to increase the performance of processors by increasing their clock speeds. However a few years ago they ran into a few serious problems. RAM access speeds were not able to keep up with the increased speed of processors, causing processors to waste clock cycles waiting for data. The speed at which electrons can flow through wires is limited, leading to delays within the chip itself. Finally, increasing a processor's clock speed also increases its power requirements. Increased power requirements leads to the processor generating more heat (which is why overclockers come up with such ridiculous cooling solutions). All of these issues meant that is was getting harder and harder to continue to increase clock speeds. The designers realized that instead of increasing the core's clock speed, they could keep the clock speed fairly constant, but put more cores on the chip. Thus was born the multi-core revolution.
My name is Darin Ohashi and I am a senior kernel developer at Maplesoft. For the last few years I have been focused on developing tools to enable parallel programming in Maple. My background is in Mathematics and Computer Science, with a focus on algorithm and data structure design and analysis. Much of my experience with parallel programming has been acquired while working at Maplesoft, and it has been a very interesting ride.
In Maple 13 we added the Task Programming Model, a high level parallel programming system. With the addition of this feature, and a few significant kernel optimizations, useful parallel programs can now be written in Maple. Although there are still limitations and lots more work to be done on our side, adventurous users may want to try writing parallel code for themselves.
To encourage those users, and to help make information about parallel programming more available, I have decided to write a series of blog posts here at Maple Primes. My hope is that I can help explain parallel programming in general terms, with a focus on the tools available in Maple 13. Along the way I may post links to sites, articles and blogs that discuss parallel programming issues, as well as related topics, such as GPU programming (CUDA, OpenCL, etc).
My next post, the first real one, I am going to explain why parallel programming has suddenly become such an important topic.

The Alabama Ethics Commission closed a complaint Wednesday against Secretary of State Beth Chapman after finding there was insufficient evidence that she broke ethics laws. The vote was 4-1 to close the case.
Chapman had been accused of using campaign funds to pay her family, business and other expenses.
The complaint heard today centered on funds Chapman raised and spent after her election in November 2006.
Campaign finance records show that Chapman's campaign paid $19,752 to Beth Chapman and Associates after her election. Her campaign also paid $18,000 to her husband and $4,000 to her two sons after the election. Campaign records also indicated Chapman paid lodging expenses with campaign funds five months after the election.
Chapman has said the money paid to her after the election was for campaign expenses. The payments to her business were reimbursement for travel and other expenses incurred during the campaign. The money to her relatives was to pay them for their time working in her campaign, she has said.
Ethics law prohibits a public official or candidate from putting campaign contributions to personal use.

Same here Dealwagger... At this point of the game, thanks to all the wonderful folks on here - they help you if you make the effort. But, like everyone else says... you gotta work hard at it.
You have to post deals (not duplicated ones), post encouraging comments, become fans of friends- usually they will be-fan you back,
and just be a outgoing person on here. ALSO... you can check on the list for previous questions for answers. You have to do research on this site... look through other people's deals to get ideas how its done. Comment on those deals... get deals similar to those, and hopefully, you'll get the hang of it.
You don't have to be on 24/7 -but you do have to put your time into it and check on it occasionally, and at least four hours a day!

Straus sees 'very troubling concerns' at cancer agency
Speaker Joe Straus says he's distressed over the latest disclosures about possible irregularities and favoritism at Texas' cancer-fighting agency, though he's confident several investigations now under way will be thorough.
Straus, R-San Antonio, said Wednesday that he and other lawmakers hope public confidence can be restored in the 10-year, $3 billion program to fight cancer that state voters approved in 2007.
"I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of the issues there but yes, of course, there's some very troubling concerns at that agency and a lot of things have changed there as a result of some reporting and some facts that none of us knew were out there," he said after speaking to a group of Austin business leaders.
Straus noted that criminal and civil probes have been launched — and House budget writers will hold a hearing next week — to look into problems at the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.
On Tuesday, the resignation of its executive director, Bill Gimson, became public. Since October, the institute's chief scientific officer and chief commercialization officer also have resigned. Dozens of scientists who reviewed funding proposals also quit, with some expressing anxiety the agency's grant-awarding process had become politicized. Last month, The Dallas Morning News reported that companies run by Dallas businessman David Shanahan got $12.8 million in grants after Shanahan and his associates gave $90,000 to the campaigns of Gov. Rick Perry and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst. On Nov. 29, the institute disclosed it didn't do required reviews before doling out $11 million to Peloton, a company on the campus of the UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. Some emails related to the Peloton decisions are missing.
"The people of Texas voted overwhelmingly to support this important initiative that's to try to cure cancer," Straus said. "The public and the Legislature certainly want the program to be as strong as it can be and get past these troubling facts that have come out."
Straus also was asked about last week's New York Times story about the huge magnitude of Texas' economic development deal-closing sweeteners, especially abatements that businesses get from having to pay local school property taxes. It followed years of reporting by The Dallas Morning News about two state funds Perry controls, the Enterprise Fund and the Emerging Technology Fund, and about fund recipients' political giving to Perry's campaigns.
Do lawmakers need to look at the incentives and improve transparency?
"Yeah, we do," Straus replied. "There's no doubt that we do. We always need to be looking at what we're doing, to see if we can do things better."
He noted that last session, the Legislature created a 12-member Select Committee on Economic Development, which includes some leading business owners and CEOs, to "develop objective criteria" for judging whether Texas' financial incentives for new and existing companies are "appropriately sized and directed and administratively efficient." The group met Wednesday. It's rushing to meet a Jan. 1 deadline for producing a report.
Asked if Texas is overly generous in forking over corporate subsidies, Straus responded, "Texas, which has added 277,000 jobs in the last year, has a lot to be proud of. Are we doing everything right? Do we have everything in the right proportion? I don't know. But that's what some of these efforts … are to determine."
Earlier this week, Straus drew a new opponent as he seeks a third term as speaker next month — Rep. David Simpson, R-Longview. Asked if he was surprised Simpson jumped in, displacing previous Straus opponent Bryan Hughes, the speaker said Simpson had appeared happy during last month's new member orientation session and recent social gatherings.
"I'm never surprised at the Texas House," Straus said.
He said that he has support from "a healthy majority" of House members of both parties. The session begins Jan. 8 — as Straus noted, "27 days from now."

Ordinary people facing extraordinary circumstances from the mob and thieves could certainly be the theme for this week's announcements. If they didn't also have to face diplomats, vengeful animals, a dimension of sight and sound and Tyler Perry.
The fanboys will be excited this week as Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Asscomes to DVD & Blu-ray on Aug. 3 from Lionsgate. Special features on the DVD will include commentary and a featurette on the comic's origin while the Blu-ray will add feature-length making-ofs and an "Ass-Kicking Bonus View Mode." That same day Summit will debut Roman Polanski's acclaimed The Ghost Writer, presumably with no ass-kicking or bonus views of any kind.
A week later on Aug. 10, Fox will debut the $95+ million-grossing Date Nightwith Steve Carell and Tina Fey. The film marked a change of pace for director Shawn Levy in that it was actually pretty good. You can listen to him talk all about it on a commentary featured on both formats along with a gag reel, extended car chase and more. If you want deleted scenes and camera tests as well, though, you might want to opt for the Blu-ray over the DVD. That same day, Fox will also release the little seen David Duchovny/Demi Moore satire, The Joneses.
Two weeks after Summit releases one of the best reviewed films of 2010, they will deliver (numbers-wise) the worst of the year not named The Bounty Hunter or Sex and the City 2. Nope it's Brendan Fraser and Furry Vengeance, the film Greg Russell called "the furriest, funniest film of the spring" will be available for family viewing on Aug. 17. That same day Sony will bow Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's Cemetery Junction, forgoing any type of American theatrical release. Having loved Gervais' first co-directing gig (2009's underappreciated The Invention of Lying) this is certainly one I will be looking forward to. Much moreso than Tyler Perry's latest follow-up, Why Did I Get Married Too? which Lionsgate will release on Aug. 31.
Over to the Blu-ray side of the equation, Disney will be releasing their latest Nature doc, Oceans, on Oct. 19. It will be available on DVD as well but when dealing with the popping deep blues and multi-colored creatures below the surface I think it's best to start with the Blu-ray and go from there. Of course, colors never look as rich or pop as much as they do in Las Vegas, even back in the glory days prompting Warner Bros. to release a 50th Anniversary Edition of the Rat Pack's Ocean's 11 on Blu-ray Oct. 5. But for a different generation, it wasn't so much about Frank, Dean and Sammy. More like Chunk, Mouth and Data. And it is time for a 25th Anniversary celebration of Richard Donner's The Goonies. The Digital Bits are reporting that there isn't much in the way of new features (which will also be available on DVD), but the package will include a new board game, storyboard prints and a 1985 souvenir magazine about the making of the film. All that will be available on Nov. 2.

FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez was found guilty Wednesday of first-degree murder in a deadly late-night shooting, sealing the downfall of an athlete who once had a $40 million contract and a standout career ahead of him.
Hernandez, 25, looked to his right and pursed his lips after the jury forewoman read the verdict, convicting him in the slaying of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old landscaper and amateur weekend football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez's fiancee. The first-degree murder conviction carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.
Hernandez's mother, Terri, and his fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, cried and gasped when they heard the verdict. Jenkins wept on his mother's shoulder. Hernandez later mouthed to them: "Be strong. Be strong."
The former football pro was also found guilty on both weapons charges he faced. The jury deliberated for 36 hours before rendering its verdict.
For reasons that were never made clear to the jury, Lloyd was shot six times in the middle of the night on June 17, 2013, in a deserted industrial park near Hernandez's home in North Attleborough.
HollyMichelle Bates, a Los Alamos woman accused of trying to cash a forged check for $1,348.62 from the Pet Pangaea pet supply store, was sentenced in court recently.
According to court documents, Bates was sentenced to Los Alamos County jail for 364 days, with 364 days suspended. Bates must also pay $73 in court costs and undergo a year of supervised probation.
She also must pay back the money she stole to Los Alamos National Bank.
Bates' probation conditions include obeying all federal, state and local laws. She must also comply with all conditions of probation and she can't enter a restaurant or any other place that buys or sells alcohol.
She can't possess a firearm, destructive device or weapon, and she must maintain contact with her probation officer. She must also pay $25 per month probation fees.
If she pays back the money before her probation is up, she could be eligible for early probation.
Bates was originally charged with embezzling over $500 but not more than $2,500 in her case, but she received a plea deal where she was only charged with embezzling over $250 but not more than $500.
She pled no contest to the charge. She was also charged with forging a transfer of $2,500 or less, but that charge was dropped. Bates pled no contest to that charge, as well.
SANTA FE — Neither the prosecution nor the defense minced words at the Friday arraignment of a Los Alamos man accused of causing "great bodily harm" to his now ex-girlfriend.
Zachary Sanchez, 31, is accused of driving himself and his girlfriend off a 200-foot cliff on N.M. 502 near Anderson Overlook in August of last year. According to both the prosecution and the defense, the crash was no accident.
At his arraignment, where Sanchez entered a not guilty plea, the prosecution asked Sanchez be placed on a surety bond and a wireless alcohol sobriety monitoring system.
"Frankly, we're lucky this isn't a vehicular homicide," said Assistant District Attorney Natalie Perry in Santa Fe District Court Friday. "He's a danger to himself and the community. He admitted to driving, he drove off a cliff with a passenger and severely injured that passenger."
The state is contending he did it on purpose.
"The scary part of this is that the evidence shows it was intentional. There's a witness that saw him on the side of the cliff that saw him slowly drive off of it, there were no brake lights," Perry said, adding that he also made comments about killing her if she tried to break up with him.
SANTA FE — An Española psychiatrist who was treating a former Los Alamos Police Department officer has learned that he will have to turn over most of his documents related to the patient's treatment to plaintiffs who filed a lawsuit against Los Alamos County in January.
Former LAPD Commander Randy Foster, who is one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, claims in the suit he was fired from his job in 2013 by the county over his handling of a personnel matter involving the psychiatrist's patient, former police officer Brian Schamber.
According to the lawsuit, which also includes former LAPD Commander Scott Mills and former Det. Paige Early as fellow plaintiffs, Foster was fired in an effort by the county to appease Schamber, who successfully sued the county for $600,000.
According to court records, Foster was a key figure in getting Schamber committed to a mental health institution shortly after he allegedly talked about hurting members of the public as well as others to Early, his work partner at the time.
Schamber has since left the police department.
Steven Geisik, the Los Alamos resident who was convicted of two counts of criminal sexual contact with a minor under the age of 13 and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor was sentenced in Los Alamos District Court Monday.
Geisik, 23, was sentenced to one year in county jail and up to 20 years of supervised probation.
"Every five years, the court will get a report on how he's doing on probation, then the court will make a determination on how he's doing," said Assistant District Attorney Kent Wahlquist, who prosecuted the case. "If he's doing well, the judge can make a decision to discontinue the probation after five or ten years."
Since Geisik's arrest in April 2012, he has spent about three years in county jail. He was 21 at the time the crimes were committed.
His defense attorney, Sydney West, thought the eventual outcome was the best one for her client, given the details of the case.
"The judge took into consideration the mitigating circumstances, his age and the most important thing of all, his (psychological) evaluation," West said.
Geisik, who was convicted in May of last year, promptly underwent psychological evaluation after the trial. The sentencing was delayed until Geisik's psychological evaluation was completed.
March 25
Marshall L Naranjo was found guilty by the Los Alamos Magistrate Court of criminal trespass. Defendant was sentenced to 364 days in the county jail with 364 days suspended. Defendant also received 364 days supervised probation. Defendant was also charged $73.
Probation conditions are:
• Defendant shall obey all federal, state and local laws. Defendant will comply with all conditions of probation. The defendant shall not enter an establishment that buys or sells alcohol.
• Defendant shall into possess a firearm, destructive device or weapon.
• Defendant will meet with a probation officer within seven days and maintain contact as instructed.
• Defendant shall also pay $25 per month probation fees. Payments are to be made to the Los Alamos Municipal Court.
• If after three months there are no violations, defendant may be released early from probation.
• Defendant shall enter and participate in alcohol/drug screening with any treatment, counseling or program with at least six sessions recommended by the screener.
Randy Foster, a former commander with the Los Alamos Police Department, won a significant victory in his case against Los Alamos County recently.
In March, the Santa Fe District Court ruled that the county must turn over more documents relating to his case against the county.
In January 2014, Foster filed suit against the county for wrongfully terminating him over how he handled a disciplinary matter involving former officer Brian Schamber.
Other plaintiffs in the suit include former detective Paige Early and Commander Scott Mills.
In December 2012, Foster learned from Early that Schamber, her work partner was making "disturbing" and "threatening" remarks about hurting people, that according to court records. In one instance, while Early and Schamber were riding together in their police car, Schamber allegedly started to drive the car erratically while making remarks about using the vehicle to injure other drivers on the road.
Foster also learned that Early had been reporting other instances of Schamber's behavior to then police chief Wayne Torpy for over a year.
Roy Moore, 67, the man accused of dealing marijuana out of his house and having 43 marijuana plants in his home, was recently released on from county jail on a $2,500 bond.
The order was set after it was clear Moore was going to be needlessly held in jail for longer than the maximum 10-day period after being arrested for his alleged crimes. It was up to Moore to make his bail, however.
Moore appeared in court with his lawyer, Tyr Loranger last week. Loranger told Judge Mathew Page that since this was the first time he met his client, he is going to need time to prepare for Moore's preliminary hearing, which is set for sometime in May.
Moore remains under house arrest until his preliminary hearing date, which has not been set.
Assistant District Attorney Kent Wahlquist agreed to the release, provided Moore agreed to be available to the court's probation officers at all times, allow officers to conduct surprise searches of his home, and that he not leave town until his court date, where it will be determined whether or not there is enough evidence to try him in district court.
During the conditions of release hearing, Wahlquist asked the judge to keep Moore's bond at $11,000, as an assurance that he will stay in jail until his hearing.

You ever head the saying "a child who is sick often with cold or flu will not be as sick when they reach adult hood having a strong immune system."?
it seemed My son was sick every other month from 1-6years old so much so that SO started saying he is like a human petri dish. In the past two years I have changed his diet and he is sick much less and his allergies have improved greatly.
But it got me wondering will he have a strong immune system when he is older? Is there some truth to that saying?

5 questions with Backstabbing Good People's Clegg
Pittsburgh's Backstabbing Good People makes its Erie debut Saturday at Crooked I, but you've seen singer Clinton Clegg. He was previously in Jazzam. He talks about his new band.
1 How does Backstabbing Good People differ from Jazzam, your former band? Jazzam was, and still is, a tower of in-your-face jazz, funk and mind-melting riffs. Backstabbing Good People is a very soulful rock band that focuses on storytelling and evoking emotion. The work I did with both groups means a great deal to me.
2 Lots of soul in your voice. Did you grow up listening to Otis Redding, Sam Cooke and Wilson Pickett? Yes, I love all those artists. They are still huge influences. Also, Bill Withers, James Brown, Joe Cocker and B.B. King were -- and still are -- always on in my car.
3 A little bit of angst with the band name; where did it come from? A close friend. It has become a representation of how we can all act sometimes, whether we can admit it or not.
4 Tell us about the live show: What are some fan-favorite originals you do and some songs you love to cover? Our live show can be extremely personal and honest. It can also be a release for us and the audience. Our music is about life, struggle, heartache, and we let it all out. We cover great tunes and make them our own. You will hear everything from Steely Dan to James Brown to Notorious B.I.G.
5 What's the last song you heard and thought, "Man, I wish I wrote that!" Great question! I have been listening to an artist named Michael Kiwanuka. He wrote "Tell Me a Tale." Check that one out for sure!

Keeping alive a centuries-old tradition - with a Philadelphia twist - a beam was hoisted to the highest point of Comcast Center today, topping off Philadelphia's new tallest skyscraper.
There was a small tree at one end of the beam, which had been signed by workers and those gathered for the ceremony, and an American flag at the other.
Between them was a statue of William Penn, the city's founder. There is a myth that Philadelphia's sports teams will not win a championship as long as a building "rises above Billy Penn" on City Hall, said Bill Hankowsky, chief executive officer of Liberty Property Trust, the Malvern company that is building Comcast Center.

The Red Bulls began tonight's match against Sporting Kansas City with a flurry, attacking the goal from seemingly all angles, unloading eight shots and forcing five saves in the first half at Red Bull Arena in Harrison.
They were exposing one of MLS' leakier defenses, as planned, but were unable to net more than one goal.
"We should have killed the game," coach Hans Backe lamented.
Ultimately, the Red Bulls (4-1-2) secured three points from this match and moved back up to the head of the Eastern Conference. Still, the 1-0 win over a Sporting team (1-4-1) that has struggled on a season-opening, 10-game road odyssey as it awaits the completion of its new stadium left Backe tinged with disappointment.
"In the second half we couldn't press them enough," Backe said. "We have to analyze a little bit and see if we have done something wrong this week because we were so much sharper the last two or three weeks."
The third straight win, before 20,636, was nonetheless in line with the Red Bulls' current form.
Luke Rodgers scored for the third time in two starts at Red Bull Arena and was pesky despite tightness in his right knee that limited him to 45 minutes.
"Right place, right time," Rodgers said of the goal.
The English striker demonstrated again his knack for finding the goal in the 22nd minute, concluding a sharp string of ping-ponged passes with a confident finish.
Rafael Marquez quickly restarted play after Dane Richards was fouled near the midfield line. Thierry Henry one-touched the ball to Dwayne De Rosario, whose curled cross allowed Rodgers an unmarked opportunity at the 6-yard box.
"It's great vision and smarts from us to capitalize when they had their backs to goal," De Rosario said.
By that point, the Red Bulls had already failed to capitalize from the penalty spot. Stephane Auvrey's foul on De Rosario provided the Red Bulls a penalty kick in the 13th minute. However, like Henry in the season's opening match, Marquez saw his penalty saved by a sprawling goalkeeper.
The save marked the beginning of a terrific night for Jimmy Nielsen, Sporting's goalkeeper.
Nielsen pawed De Rosario's swerving right-footed shot wide of the post in the 38th minute with a leaping effort. On the ensuing corner kick, Nielsen sprawled to his left again to deflect Tim Ream's low, headed shot.
The second half devolved into a ragged contest. Backe said his team couldn't command the ball as it did in the first.
Part of the reason was the absence of Teemu Tainio, who left with a groin strain. Tainio dictates tempo and distribution from his deep-set position, and without him the defense had to scramble at times.
The Red Bulls nevertheless kept a clean sheet. Kansas City managed only two shots on goal and only sporadic pressure on the league's tightest defense (.29 goals allowed per game).
"We expect to go out there and get shutouts every game," Ream said.

Since 2001, more than 1.9 million Americans have been deployed to war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan, displaying the highest form of service to country.
From November 2009 through December 2010, Stephens Media newspapers and websites published the stories of more than 75 men and women in uniform who received top commendations for acts of bravery and valor.
War is tragic and frightening. These stories, however, will tell of individuals who acted selflessly when thrust into life-or-death situations.
