Tables across the country will be overflowing with myriad traditions on Thanksgiving Day. Most will have turkeys, some will have ethnic eats such as ravioli, collard greens, or kugel. But there's one thing all the holiday revelers will have in common: Scouring the fridge the next day and gorging on leftovers.
"I actually look forward to the leftovers more than the dinner itself," says Peter McAndrews, chef and owner of Philadelphia's Modo Mio, Monsù, and Paesano's. It's a sentiment many hosts would repeat. If you are in charge of orchestrating the multicourse meal, the Friday after can feel like a mini-vacation.

A season that opened with promise crashed during liftoff. There was a sub-.500 record, a first-round exit in the Big Ten Tournament, and a second-round departure from the CBI. Oh man, remember the CBI?
The feeling at Mackey Arena was much different on Wednesday. Those doors opened for the first time since Santa Clara dismissed the Boilermakers from that weird tournament, and in came more than 7,000 fans in black and gold. Hope has been restored in West Lafayette.
The answers to those key questions won't come until later. A sloppy 80-73 win over the Greyhounds offered little reason for inspiration.
Purdue took the court raring to go. Though, when the ball went in the air, there were numerous struggles. Indianapolis led up until the final two minutes of the first half.
"I thought Indianapolis just played harder than us," said coach Matt Painter of Purdue's slow start. "I thought they played like the game meant more to them."
Things turned in the first half's final minutes, with Purdue turning an eight-point deficit into a seven-point halftime lead. The Boilermakers opened a 17-point lead at one point in the second half, then fought for their lives to close out a win.
As a whole, there was much to take—many positives, and also plenty to improve.
Pro: Terone Johnson showed he's ready to take over a game. The senior guard posted 17 points on 6-of-10 shooting, showing he wants to be the guy for the Boilermakers.
Con: Purdue shot under 40 percent—39.1 percent, to be exact—and dealt with cold spurts throughout the early part of the game. Shot after shot clanked off the rim in long stretches.
Pro: The freshmen came to play. Kendall Stephens connected on three from long range, while Bryson Scott added 11 points, including nine free throws. Basil Smotherman also showed flashes. Much of the reason for optimism this year stems from these freshmen. In practice and now this first exhibition, the early returns are encouraging.
Con: Purdue struggled to gain a rhythm on offense. At times, the Boilermakers didn't look comfortable. Scott struggled from the field, as did Sterling Carter and Jay Simpson. The go-to scorers on offense were cold in this one.
Pro: The Boilermakers hit 24 of 35 free throws. Does that number seem high? That's because it's really high. The new hand-checking rule revealed its ugly head in this game. Fortunately for Purdue, it took advantage of chances at the charity stripe.
Con: 24 Purdue fouls. And many of those were due to the new hand-checking rule. This is going to be a killer for many teams in the early part of the season. Indianapolis hit on just 53.8 percent of its free throws. Yet, better teams won't struggle like that. The Boilermakers need to clean this up.
This is just a small sampling of takeaways from this first showing of the new Boilermakers. There's much to be pleased with, but surely a lot to grow from.
"I thought we made a lot of mistakes, if you ask me—defensively and offensively," said senior guard Terone Johnson. "But we're ready to learn from it. Everybody's got a good attitude."
Now, the Boilermakers go back to the drawing board. Painter will have plenty to teach from this one. He'll start by assessing the point guard position, where Scott, the freshman, earned the starting nod over returner Ronnie Johnson.
This decision came from preseason practices, where Painter felt Scott fought harder for the opportunity.
"Hopefully, this will motivate [Johnson]," said Painter after the game.
Unsure of his role going forward, Scott added: "I'm just doing what Painter wants me to do. He asked me to step up and be the starting point guard."
Painter will undoubtedly have a conversation with Stephens, who impressed with his long-distance stroke, but also passed on some open looks.
"He doesn't like me passing up shots," Stephens said.
Perhaps the Boilermakers' biggest question mark involves sophomore center A.J. Hammons, suspended for this game and the next two, including the regular-season opener. Will he become the star that many have pegged him to be?
This is just one of many things Purdue fans were wondering as they entered Mackey Arena for the first time this season. There's great optimism in the air, but the Boilermakers must live up to their promise this time.

The Nike Air Foamposite One "Shooting Stars" is coming, and apparently there is a very special box set also on the way for the sneakers. There is a little bit of imagery floating around that features the sneakers packaged together with the Nike Lil Penny Posite, a sneaker that has so far been pretty tough to track down. For what it's worth there's no word yet if this will perhaps be a promo only item or a regionally limited release or something like that. Continue reading to see the evidence stay tuned for more on this Penny Pack.

I only want the lil pennys
why wont nike use Jordan's idea and retro some old foamposites ie Royal Blue, Copper, Pewter, Dr. Doom, Carolina Blue, metallic red, hell even the cough drops... this list goes on and on... i just hope they get the point...

Daniel Garay
So we can't buy the shooting stars seperate?
That's gonna be atleast 3bills
Forcing them wack lil pennys on the buying public.
Lil penny not that good, no look pass
I really don't want those lil penny but I was looking forward to the shooting stars
Da retail is 399.99. 250 fa da foams, 150 fa da lil Penny's.... Nice pack tho... I'll cop them. I don't mind da lil pennys but I need those foams ever since I saw penny wear them at all star wkend a couple yrs ago
they know the hype on the shooting stars is high so they're going to force us to buy those poo ass lil pennys. Shits gonna cost like $500 easy smdh
I'm sure the Nike Foamposites are gonna get customized with a galaxy or night sky with actual "Shooting Stars".
Welp, guess I won't be getting the shooting stars after all. No problem, I'll take the Flightposite Knicks on 05/03.
haha they making u buy those ugly ass lil pennys just to get the shooting stars i never really was a fan of them in the first place
At the least its the only lil penny colorway I like. $450 plus on shoes is ridiculous though.
Hope you can still purchase separate.... and NIKE produces enough for everyone to be happy.. with the strike at the Nike distributor lets hope these arent $500 a piece
@151productionsllc Oh they will but not on release date. They will restock them over and over and over
because lil penny's don't sell?
@drmtm Pennys sell good but they flooded the market with the foamposites. They need to keep the retros in rotation.
This is some bullshit but I will invest if I get the chance.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Mike Dunleavy Jr. has suddenly become this season's version of Richard Hamilton for the Chicago Bulls.
Dunleavy, like Hamilton before him, was brought in as a valuable shooter to play alongside Derrick Rose only to then see Rose go down to a season-ending knee surgery.
Dunleavy, who admitted over the summer one of the reasons he took less money and security to come to the Bulls was to play with Rose, can't believe how his luck has turned over the past few days. Dunleavy has gone from being on a championship contender to being on a team that has no chance to win a championship.
"It's tough for everybody," Dunleavy said of Rose's injury. "You certainly feel for him. Ironically, one of the reasons I came here is because last year the way this team performed under adversity and the way the circumstances were I was really impressed with that so that was one of the reasons I came here. And then here we are again in the same boat. So this is a really solid group. We'll respond well, and we just hope Derrick gets back whenever he can and is good as ever."
Dunleavy could become an attractive trade target to a team looking to add a shooter if the Bulls decide to start making deals. But he said he hasn't put much thought into that possibility. Not only did he take less money to sign with the Bulls, he is also signed for another season after this one.
"You don't really get concerned about that type of stuff," he said. "It's really out of your control. I haven't really given much thought to it to be honest with you."
Snell makes his first start: With Rose now out of the picture for the year and Jimmy Butler still out because of a turf toe injury, Tom Thibodeau decided to give Tony Snell a chance to see what he can do. The soft-spoken rookie scored nine points against the Utah Jazz and tried to make the most of his chance.
"I got to take advantage of the opportunity," Snell said before the game. "Opportunities like this don't come around too much so I got to take advantage."
Since being drafted this summer, Snell has impressed his teammates and coaches with his work ethic.
"I'm a really hard worker," he said. "Anything the coach asks me to do I'm going to go out there and do it. Defensively, I feel like I've improved a lot. Offensively, I'm just trying to learn the plays and I'm just trying to move around and make plays."
The last word: Jazz coach Ty Corbin on Rose's latest injury: "I'm sad for the guy. I know how tough it was for him last year to miss the entire season with the injury that he had. He works his tail off to get back and he was turning the corner and feeling better about himself. To get another injury, it's an unfortunate part of the buisness. We're praying that everything turns out well for him and he seems to be a really nice young man so hopefully he gets back soon."

1. Field of the Invention
The system of the present invention is related to the field of automated testing of computer systems and computer software. Specifically, the system of the present invention relates to the field of automated testing of window-based systems.
2. Background of the Invention
To test computer system hardware and software, a script of user actions is developed which reflect actions taken by a user during a typical user session. An action may be, for example, moving the cursor, typing information, or depressing a button on the mouse. The actions listed in the script are manually entered into the computer system and the results output by the computer system are analyzed to determine if the system performed as expected. Running controlled tests in this manner is difficult. Each time the script is run, the test itself may be different because it is hard to replicate the user actions precisely. In addition, some test results are hard to compare by visual examination. For example, it is very difficult to compare screen images to determine pixel accuracy.
A method that has been used for testing software is a record and playback mechanism known as journaling. Journaling is the process of recording a series of user actions reflected in the system as "events," storing them in a file, often referred to as a journal file, and replaying the recorded event to simulate a user session by causing the system to re-execute the recorded events representative of the user actions. (See for example, CAPBAK/UNIX Terminal Session Capture and Playback for UNIX Systems, Software Research Inc., (1989). The journaling systems typically addressed a single input device, i.e. the keyboard, which provided input to a single process and does not perform adequately in a multi-input, multi-process environment.
In a window-based computer system, such as those marketed by Sun Microsystems, Inc., Mountain View, Calif., a user may interact, through a variety of input devices, with a plurality of applications concurrently operating in a plurality of windows on a display. Window-based systems introduced added complexity to the journaling process. In a window-based system, a number of input devices and a number of processes interact with one another in a predetermined sequence in order to produce a desired effect such as selecting a client or application process from a menu or moving the cursor from one window to another. In an attempt to maintain a proper sequence, a time delay is inserted between various actions recorded in the journal file to increase the amount of time between execution of actions. By scaling the time between events, it is generally possible to maintain the proper execution sequence of actions taken by the input devices and processes. However, playing actions faster than the speed they were initially recorded, as is done typically on playback of a journal file, can lead to unexpected behavior. This unexpected behavior arises because of race conditions caused by a second process executing prior to the completion of execution of a first process, wherein the final state of the first process is utilized by the second process.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a system of journaling which is event-driven and not time-dependent.
It is further an object of the present invention to provide a system of journaling that provides a means for accurately testing a window system.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a system which allows the testing of a user interface across different hardware architectures without modifying the testing procedure.
In the system of the present invention, an event driven journaling mechanism which is not dependent on the timing of execution of processes is implemented. Special events, referred to as synchronization events, mark locations, referred to as synchronization points, in the journal file of events where previously initiated processing must be completed before initiating the subsequent process. The synchronization points are located between processes which are exchanging state. The synchronization events are put into the journal file during the recording phase. On playback, the journaling mechanism waits for a synchronization event to occur before proceeding to the next action in the journal file and initiating subsequent execution of the process.
The objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description of the invention in which:
FIG. 1 is a typical computer based system for implementing the synchronized journaling mechanism of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram representation of a server-based window system.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram representation of a kernel-based window system.
FIG. 4 is a conceptual block diagram of the synchronized journaling mechanism of the present invention.
FIGS. 5a and 5b are flowcharts which illustrate the synchronized journaling process of the present invention.
FIGS. 6a and 6b illustrate implementation of the synchronized journaling mechanism of the present invention in a server-based window system.
FIG. 7 is a block diagram of the implementation of the synchronized journaling mechanism of the present invention in a kernel-based window system.
FIG. 8 is an illustrative journal file in ASCII text format.
The detailed descriptions which follow are presented largely in terms of algorithms and symbolic representations of operations on data bits within a computer memory. These algorithmic descriptions and representations are the means used by those skilled in the data processing arts to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art.
An algorithm is here, and generally, conceived to be a self-consistent sequence of steps leading to a desired result. These steps are those requiring physical manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical or magnetic signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, and otherwise manipulated. it proves convenient at times, principally for reasons of common usage, to refer to these signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, numbers, or the like. It should be borne in mind, however, that all of these and similar terms are to be associated with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely convenient labels applied to these quantities.
Further, the manipulations performed are often referred to in terms, such as adding or comparing, which are commonly associated with mental operations performed by a human operator. No such capability of a human operator is necessary, or desirable in most cases, in any of the operations described herein which form part of the present invention; the operations are machine operations. Useful machines for performing the operations of the present invention include general purpose digital computers or other similar devices. In all cases there should be borne in mind the distinction between the method of operations in operating a computer and the method of computation itself. The present invention relates to method steps for operating a computer in processing electrical or other (e.g., mechanical, chemical) physical signals to generate other desired physical signals.
The present invention also relates to apparatus for performing these operations. This apparatus may be specially constructed for the required purposes or it may comprise a general purpose computer as selectively activated or reconfigured by a computer program stored in the computer. The algorithms presented herein are not inherently related to a particular computer or other apparatus. In particular, various general purpose machines may be used with programs written in accordance with the teachings herein, or it may prove more convenient to construct more specialized apparatus to perform the required method steps. The required structure for a variety of these machines will appear from the description given below.
FIG. 1 shows a typical computer-based system for performing synchronized journaling according to the present invention. Shown there is a computer 101 which comprises three major components. The first of these is the input/output (I/O) circuit 102 which is used to communicate information in appropriately structured form to and from the other parts of the computer 101. Also shown as a part of computer 101 is the central processing unit (CPU) 103 and memory 104. These latter two elements are those typically found in most general purpose computers and almost all special purpose computers. In fact, the several elements contained within computer 101 are intended to be representative of this broad category of data processors. Particular examples of suitable data processors to fill the role of computer 101 include machines manufactured by Sun Microsystems, Inc.; Mountain View, Calif. Other computers having like capabilities may of course be adapted in a straightforward manner to perform the functions described below.
Also shown in FIG. 1 is an input device 105, shown in typical embodiment as a keyboard. It should be understood, however, that the input device may actually be a card reader, magnetic or paper tape reader, or other well-known input device (including, of course, another computer). A mass memory device 106 is coupled to the I/O circuit 102 and provides additional storage capability for the computer 101. The mass memeory may include other programs and the like and may take the form of a magnetic or paper tape reader or other well known device. It will be appreciated that the data retained within mass memory 106, may, in appropriate cases, be incorporated in standard fashion into computer 101 as part of memory 104.
In addition, a display monitor 107 is illustrated which is used to display messages or other communications to the user. Such a display monitor may take the form of any of several well-known varieties of CRT displays. A cursor control 108 is used to select command modes and edit the input data, and in general provides a more convenient means to input information into the system.
The following description of the preferred embodiments describes the synchronized journaling mechanism of the present invention operating in a window system environment. Specifically, the implementation of the synchronized journaling mechanism of the present invention is described with respect to a distributed window system environment (also referred to herein as a server-based system) and in a kernal based window system. However, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art, from reading the following detailed description, that the synchronized journaling system of the present invention may be applied to different computer systems having different computer architectures and different window systems as well as non-window-based systems. Furthermore, the following description discusses the synchronized journaling system of the present invention operating in the Unix� Operating System (Unix is a registered trademark of AT&T); however, the system is not limited as such and may be implemented in any operating system.
Typically, a window system divides the screen into a set of overlapping or nonoverlapping independent visual regions referred to as windows. A window is a visible part of the screen used for display and user interaction. The window system provides applications with procedures to draw on the windows and implements complex user interface features such as menu scrollbars and panels. It also provides applications with the ability to receive events from the input devices connected to the system. Another aspect of window system addresses how windows are positioned on screen. The windows may be either tiled or overlapping. The software that determines the arrangement of windows is called the window manager because it determines how the desktop real estate is managed.
The window system provides a means by which a user can switch between applications operating within the window system. It also provides support for complex applications that utilize multiple windows. There are generally two types of window systems; kernal-based and distributed-based (also referred to as server-based). In a server-based window system, a separate server process mediates access to the display and input devices. In a kernel-based window system, the device driver within the kernel performs these functions.
A server-based window system consists of a number of processes referred to as the window server, window manager and toolkit. The application processes are really client processes which are operated through the window system. The display 260, keyboard 270 and mouse 280 provide input/output to the window system and application processes operating through the window system via the operating system 255. The window server 250 controls the display and mediates access to display by the application process. It also provides a base functionality in terms of windows and cursors and determines how to draw into these windows and how to distribute events to them. Examples of window systems include the X11™ (X11 is a trademark of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) which supports the X11 protocol (See Sheifler, Gettys, "The X Windows System":, ACM Transactions On Graphics, Vol. 5, No. 2 (April 1986) pp. 79-109) and X11/NeWS™ window system, which is available from Sun Microsystems, Inc., Mountain View, Calif., and supports both the X11 and NeWS™ (NeWS is a trademark of Sun Microsystems, Inc.) window server protocols (See Shaufler, "X11/NeWS Design Overview", Proceedings of the Summer 1988 User Conference, (1988) pp. 23-35).
The application process 200, 220 is typically linked with a toolkit 210, 230 which implements the user interface functionality and provides the means for the client process to tailor the user interface to the client process. The toolkit determines how the window systems menus look, how users interact with control areas and how control areas are organized. Furthermore, the toolkit provides a programmatic interface that allows developers of the application programs to implement sophisticated windowing applications. The toolkit 210, 230 preferably includes a toolkit library 240 consisting of a library of functions the toolkit references to interface the application to the window system. An example of a toolkit is the XView™ toolkit (XView is a trademark of Sun Microsystems, Inc.) available from Sun Microsystems, Inc. to be used with the X11/NeWS window system. For further information regarding the XView toolkit, see Jacobs, "The XView Toolkit, Architectural Overview", 3rd Annual Technical Conference, (1989).
The window manager may be a separate process, as is typically the case with the X11 protocol, or it may be part of a window server, as is the case with respect to the X11/NeWS window system where the window manager is a collection of processes that reside in the window server. The window manager controls the workspace, the window that occupies the entire screen and determines the workspace menu window and icon placement.
A kernel-based window system is described with reference to FIG. 3. In a kernel-based window system, the kernel 360 is modified to consist of an event manager and a means to contain window state information 350. This part of the system is in charge of the input 390, 395 and display 380 devices and of distributing events to the client applications 300, 320. When it is necessary for an application to access devices, the applications 300, 320 make kernel calls. An example of a kernel-based window system is the SunView™ Window System (SunView is a trademark of Sun Microsystems, Inc.; see Sun Microsystems, Inc., SunView 1 Programmer's Guide, revision A, May 9, 1988 and Sun Microsystems, Inc., SunView 1 Systems Programmer's Guide, revision A, May 9, 1988.)
The kernel-based window system also consists of a user interface toolkit 310, 330 which provides the applications' menus, control areas and drawing capabilities. Each window is treated as a separate device. The toolkit 310, 330 is linked with the application 300, 320 and the toolkit library 340. An example of a toolkit is in the SunView window system. A kernel-based window system also contains a window manager which resides in the toolkit 310, 330 and in the kernel 360. This is different from a server-based window system in which the window manager is often a separate process. In addition, there is often a selection service process that acts as an intermediary for the transfer of data between applications. Kernel system signals are the primary method used in communication between the window system, applications and the kernel. For example, applications use system calls for locking windows and are sent signals by the window system to indicate that a window has changed. The selection service process and applications communicate using a Remote Procedure call Interface. In a kernel-based window system, all applications are required to execute on the same machine in order to perform window system operations because applications are tied to the system calls as the means of communication.
In the synchronized journaling mechanism of the present invention, the journaling mechanism is made timing independent and therefore avoids unexpected behavior caused by race conditions during playback of the journal file. A conceptual block diagram of the synchronized journaling system of the present invention is illustrated by FIG. 4. A journaler 490 is connected to the window system 450. During "capture," each action performed by the user through the input devices 470, 480 and input into the window system as an event is recorded by the hournaler 490 in a journal file 495 in the order the actions are performed. If the action recorded is one that must be completed before further actions are performed, a synchronization event is placed in the journal file at the location after the event. These locations are referred to as a synchronization points and may be defined as the locations in the journal file where multiple processes are exchanging state. For example, if the actions to be taken are to change the focus of the cursor, that is to move the cursor from one window to another, and input information into the window, either through the keyboard or cursor, it should be assured that the focus has changed to the new window prior to the input or else an error will occur because the input will be directed to the wrong window.
On playback, the journaling mechanism waits for each of the synchronization events to occur before delivering more events from the journal file to the window system for execution. Using these synchronization events, events on playback are delivered and executed in the same order as the events were initially entered by the user without the occurrence of race conditions. In addition, by using this timing independent mechanism and a journal file which is recorded in a widely accepted format, e.g. ASCII, a single script can be used across multiple architectures thereby providing a universal benchmark for multiple architectures.
Synchronization events may be inserted at any location in the journal file where it is desired that an event completes processing before a subsequent event is initiated. It is preferred that synchronization events are inserted between actions which exchange state. Preferably synchronization events are inserted into the journal file with respect to the following actions:
1. A window is mapped and displayed.
2. A window is unmapped and removed from the display.
3. An active grab of an object occurs. (An active grab occurs when an application requests and receives all events regardless of the window/process the event is directed to.)
4. An active grab is released.
5. A Mouse device is mapped (i.e., an application moves the mouse).
6. A menu is mapped to the display.
7. A menu is unmapped from the display.
8. Terminal emulator prompting (when a window is set to operate like an ASCII terminal).
9. A change of input focus from one window to another.
10. An application specific synchronization point.
The synchronization events may be internal to the server or kernel and generated independently of the toolkit and application code. Alternatively, the synchronization events may be generated by the application or toolkit code. The application-independent method is attractive because the toolkit and application code does not need to be modified in order to implement synchronized journaling. However, more events may have to be recorded in the journal file leading to degradation of the system performance. This due to the use of indirect secondary states changes which are synchronized in order to best synchronize a primary state change which the server or kernel cannot directly synchronize. In the application-dependent method, the application and/or toolkit code must be modified to provide for journaling. However, additional application-specific synchronization events to handle special user interface features such as button click-to-type are easily accommodated. Alternatively, a hybrid approach may be used in which the journaling is implemented as a combination of the two methods by providing the flexibility of the application-dependent method and the efficiency of the application-independent method.
The synchronization points can be determined by the user and manually entered into the journal file or can be generated automatically by the window system or journal mechanism during the capture of user actions and generation of the journal file. Preferably, the synchronization points are automatically determined according to the events representative of the actions performed. Thus, during capture, each event representative of the action performed by the user will be reviewed to determine if a synchronization event is required. If a synchronization event is required, one is automatically inserted into the journal file such that on playback the processing relevant to the event synchronized is completed before initiating subsequent events listed in the journal file.
The preferred automated process is described referring to the flowcharts of FIGS. 5a and 5b. At block 500, the capture mode is set to be on, such that user actions are recorded in the journal file for subsequent playback. At block 510, the system waits for an event to occur (i.e. when the user inputs information through the keyboard or mouse). The event is received and input to window system (block 520). After receipt of the event from the input mouse or keyboard, the window system, at block 530, communicates the event to the toolkit of the application, which is currently active in the particular window the information was input into. At the same time, the journaler "captures" the event and stores it in the journal file. For example, in the X11/NeWS Window System, it is preferred that the journaler "captures" the event by "expressing an interest" in all events. (See, Shaufler, "X11/NeWS Design Overview", Proceedings of the Summer 1988 User Conference, (1988) pp. 23-35). By expressing an interest in all events the journaler receives copies of all events generated. Preferably, the structure of the event information that is kept is as follows: Time stamp XY, key date, name of event. Alternatively, the event information may also contain an identification of the window process the action was entered into. The time stamp field records the time when the event occured. The XY fields record the coordinates of the event. The key state field represents the state of the keys for the keystrokes and mouse events and the name of the event field stores the name of the event or events which requires synchronization. Preferably, the events representative of actions to be performed which are captured and stored in the journal file are written in the XDR format which is a binary format standard used across multiple computer architectures. (For information regarding the XDR format, see Sun Microsystems, Inc., Network Programming, revision A May 9, 1988)). The journal file may also be written in ASCII text format for easy portability across different computer systems.
When the toolkit receives the event, at block 550, the application/toolkit responds to the event and submits a request to the window system to perform a task in response to the event. In addition, at block 560, the toolkit determines if the event is one which requires synchronization. If it requires synchronization, at block 570, the toolkit issues a synchronization event which is received by the journaler and stored in the journal file. This process continues until the user session is finished and the capture is complete.
Referring to FIG. 5b, to play back the journal file thereby recreating the user session, the journaler retrieves the first event listed in the journal file and outputs the event to the window system, blocks 600, 610. The event is examined to determine whether the event is a synchronization event, block 620. For each synchronization event, the toolkit, upon notice of completion of processing relevant to the event (the toolkit receives notice that processing is complete in order to return control to the application process), generates a synchronization event which tells the journaler that processing relevant to the synchronization event is complete and the next event in the journal file can be output to the window system. If the event is a synchronization event, at block 630, the journaler waits until a synchronization event is received from the toolkit, indicating that the processing relevant to the synchronization event is complete, prior to proceeding to the next event listed in the journal file. Preferably, to simplify the toolkit, the same mechanism used to generate the synchronization event is used to generate the identical synchronization event which the journaler during replay interprets to indicate that processing is complete with respect to the event. At block 640, if the last event in the journal file has not been reached, the journaler proceeds to the next event in the journal file and continues the process until the last event is reached in the journal file.
A first embodiment of the synchronized journaling mechanism of the present invention is described as implemented in a server-based window system. As described above, in a server-based window system, the window system is implemented as a plurality of processes, particularly, the window server and window manager. Referring to FIG. 6a, the journaler 850 is incorporated into the window system as an additional process. The processes, referring to FIGS. 6a and 6b, have the ability to access events generated by expressing an interest in certain events. For example, in the X11/NeWs Window System this achieved by executing the command: [event] expressinterest. where event is the name of the event (or events) that an interest is expressed in. To receive the event, the process issues the command: awaitevent [event]. The events output by the operating system 910 are input to bus-like structure (also referred to as a "software bus") which circulates the event among the processes. The event will be accessed by those processes which have expressed interest in the event.
In the synchronized journaling system of the present invention, the journaler process 950 is activated as another process on the server 900. The journaler is set to express an interest in every event such that the journaler receives a copy of every event generated during the user session which is then stored in the journal file 960. As described above, the toolkit of an application will generate a synchronization event when an event (or series of events) is generated which requires synchronization. This event output onto the bus and is also received by the journaler 950 which stores the synchronization event in the journal file 960.
One event that requires synchronization is the change of input focus from one event to the other. Preferably, the change of input focus process 1000 will also generate a synchronization event to be placed in the journal file and will generate on playback a synchronization event when the change of input focus is complete.
Preferably, the journaler is given the highest possible priority such that it is the first to receive events in order to insure that the event is recorded in the journal file before the synchronization event is recorded.
FIG. 7 illustrates another embodiment in which the synchronized journaling mechanism of the present invention is implemented in a kernel-based window system. As described earlier, the window system 1100 is part of the kernel 1140. The kernel 1140 monitors the state of the input devices 1120, 1130 and places input received as an event in the master queue 1150 for subsequent execution.
Each event generated is placed in a master queue for subsequent output to the appropriate application. The kernel is modified to cause each event to also be sent to the journaler 1160 which stores the events in the journal file 1170. Each event in the master queue 1150 is sequentially output by the kernel 1140 to the appropriate application 1050, 1070. The toolkit 1060, upon receipt of an event, determines if the event is one which requires synchronization. If the event requires synchronization, a special system call used to communicate synchronization events to the journaler is issued to the kernel 1140 indicating that a synchronization event is required. Upon receipt of the synchronization system call from the toolkit 1060, 1080, the kernel communicates the event to the journaler 1160 which stores the event in the journal file.
The kernel is further modified to include a programmatic interface which permits the journaler 1160 to directly write events into the master queue 1150 through a special system call. To playback the journal file 1170, the journaler 1160 writes events into the master queue 1150 for subsequent execution by the kernel 1190. When a synchronization event is reached, the journaler 1160 will stop writing events to the master queue 1150 until a synchronization event is received by the journaler 1160 indicating that processing is complete. When processing is complete, the toolkit 1060, 1080 sends a synchronization event via a system call, to the kernal 1140 which forwards the synchronization event to the journaler 1160, notifying the journaler that the replay process can continue.
FIG. 8 illustrates a sample journal file in ASCII text format. The event at line 2015 is a synchronization event for an active grab resulting from the events at lines 2000, 2005 and 2010. In this illustration, a synchronization event is identified by the string "/Syngset". During replay, the journaler will not execute the event at line 2020 until execution of the active grab is complete.
While the invention has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiment, it is evident that numerous alternatives, modifications, variations and uses will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description.

Roberto Mancini has told Vincent Kompany he needs to "pay more attention" following his sending-off for a tackle on Jack Wilshere in Manchester City's 2-0 win Arsenal on Sunday. Although the captain had the automatic three-game ban issued for a straight red card overturned on appeal by an independent Football Association commission, his manager is conscious that Kompany could cost the side his services if he does not temper his tackling.

November 25, 2006, 11:08 PM
When did the drunken monkeys start making AR-15s?
I have one century firearm, and even though it works well, the craftsmanship sucks big time, and I sure wouldn't gamble like that again.
I mean, the magazines that came with it didn't even fit from day one. :scrutiny:
November 26, 2006, 02:10 AM
They make an AngrybeaveR-15 now?
November 26, 2006, 11:09 AM
Century offered stripped lowers a few years ago. They were made by someone like CMT, and they are nice recievers. It is probably a kit build rifle. I would ask the owner for more info. As long as the lower is not a Hesse, then you are probably good to go.
November 26, 2006, 11:22 AM
Hesse or Vulcan. Gah. Had a Century CETME once, never again will I buy anything the drunken monkeys slapped together.
November 26, 2006, 12:16 PM
I vaguely remember reading an article awhile back that reviewed a Century-made AR15. Evidently Century was buying up surplused M16's from other countries, destroying the receivers, and using the uppers and other parts to build kind of a budget-conscious AR.
I think it might have been in S.W.A.T. Magazine.
November 26, 2006, 12:55 PM
I recall seeing adds for them in SGN several years ago. They were in the A1 configuration if I recall correctly. As with any Century build, use caution.
November 26, 2006, 01:54 PM
just remember the "wizards" in the past were gringing bolts to correct head space on the cetme rifles.
no way would I buy anything from those crap peddlers:fire:
November 26, 2006, 10:30 PM
My first AR build was from a Century kit. It was an M16A2 kit complete with all the 3 round burst stuff. Paid $195 :what: for the kit. Used a DPMS lower and new trigger group to complete my first build. Wish I had bought more of those kits back then (about 5 years ago).:banghead:
November 26, 2006, 11:13 PM
I believe you folks are wrong about Century using drunken monkeys to
assemble their guns. They actually use blind monkeys-being drunk is an optional
condition of the monkey's employment.
November 26, 2006, 11:43 PM
drunken monkeys
Please call them by the right name ANGRY BEAVERS.
Drunken Monkeys belongs to Hesse Arms. Please be careful of copy write infringements.
November 27, 2006, 01:29 AM
Good thing I didn't read this thread, and learn about Century guns and their horrible reputation before buying 2 L1A1's from them, both of which run like a top. I would have missed out on two FAL guns that put together cost $800.00, and go bang every time.
I'll stay out of Hi-Point threads too, so I don't learn about how bad my flawless 9mm carbine is while I'm at it. I'd hate to think it might not be as good as it's been leading me to believe.
Gosh, the interweb sure teaches you alot.
November 27, 2006, 09:28 AM
Century C-15 Post ban rifles.
About 2000 were made in 1998.
Surplus M16A1 Parts assembled to forged and possibly cast receivers produced by Olympic Arms Inc.(both types of receivers may have been used for this build.)
Smith Enterprise compensators welded on in place of flash suppressors.
Bayonet lugs ground off.
Barrels are Colt, 1 in 12, chrome lined.
God only knows where they got the trigger parts used in the production.
The barrels and bolts stayed together during the addition of the compensators and the grinding of the lugs so if Colt did the headspace right then it is still right.
M16 bolt carriers were replaced with AR15 carriers by who we can only speculate since I have not personally handled and diassembled one of these rifles yet.
If Century didn't muck the muzzle chamfer when they welded the compensators in place, chances are these can be pretty decent general purpose rifles.
The other parts can be replaced for a moderate sum if they are questionable.
The information is provided by people who are paid to write this stuff down, thanks guys.HTH

really saying that art should be something powerful. But at the same time, there's a morality that comes along with that—the respect of other people, that their rights are equal to yours. So Bear and Policeman (1988) was always about art having that power, but being misused and going out of control."

Changes in state unemployment rates: June 2010–June 2011
July 27, 2011
From June 2010 to June 2011, Nevada again recorded the largest jobless rate decrease (-2.5 percentage points). Two other states had rate decreases of at least 2.0 percentage points—Michigan (-2.1 points) and Indiana (-2.0 points).
Eleven additional states had smaller but also statistically significant decreases over the year. The remaining 36 states and the District of Columbia registered unemployment rates that were not appreciably different from those of a year earlier.
Nevada continued to register the highest unemployment rate among states, 12.4 percent in June. California had the next highest rate, 11.8 percent. North Dakota reported the lowest jobless rate, 3.2 percent, followed by Nebraska, 4.1 percent, and South Dakota, 4.8 percent.
In June, 26 states posted jobless rates significantly lower than the U.S. figure of 9.2 percent, 6 states and the District of Columbia recorded measurably higher rates, and 18 states had rates that were not appreciably different from that of the nation.
These data are from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics program and are seasonally adjusted. To learn more, see "Regional and state Employment and Unemployment — June 2011" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-11-1084.

Greedy stores ruin family celebrations
Reading an article in the Nov. 8 News noting that Vidler's in East Aurora will be closed on Thanksgiving prompted me to write this letter. What are the big stores thinking? Are they so afraid they will not make enough money this holiday season that they have to be open that day and ruin so many families' celebrations? Have the people in America lost the meaning of Thanksgiving? Is it really necessary to think that by saving a couple of dollars, life will be so much better for them?
I think it is greed that pushes so many people to think this way. I, for one, will cut up my credit cards for these big stores and mail them back with a note. I am sure I am of no concern to them, because I do not use the cards very often, but I hope that more people will follow my lead and make a statement to stop the greed that is happening in our world today.

• Currently, several specialties (cardiothoracic, pediatric, and colorectal) require a full general surgery residency before specialty training. Plastic surgery has, in essence, a de facto requirement since most residents have had at least 5 years of general surgery training before initiation of a plastic surgery residency. Forces within both general surgery and plastic surgery will dictate that such a de facto requirement will not persist in the future. The pressures that compel plastic surgery to modify the traditional role of general surgery as preparatory training for requisite or specialty residency training can be extended by analogy to the other specialties as well. This article will hypothesize that the premises and the conclusions about the relationship between plastic surgery and general surgery apply equally well to the other specialties. If the traditional and historical role of full general surgery residency as prerequisite training for a specialty residency is discarded, careful thought must be given to any substitute system of graduate surgical education. In particular, attention must be directed to the three components of clinical skills to be acquired and to an expectation of operative or technical experience.
