In concurrent programming, an operation (or set of operations) is atomic, linearizable, indivisible or uninterruptible if it appears to the rest of the system to occur instantaneously. Atomicity is a guarantee of isolation from concurrent processes. Additionally, atomic operations commonly have a succeed-or-fail definition—they either successfully change the state of the system, or have no apparent effect.
Linearizability is a strong consistency or correctness condition, which constrains what outputs are possible when an object is accessed by multiple processes concurrently. It is a safety property ensuring that operations do not complete in an unexpected or unpredictable manner. If a system is linearizable it allows a programmer to reason about the system.
Atomicity is commonly enforced by mutual exclusion, whether at the hardware level building on a cache coherency protocol, or the software level using semaphores or locks. Thus, an atomic operation does not necessarily actually occur instantaneously. The benefit comes from the appearance: the system behaves as if each operation occurred instantly, separated by pauses. This makes the system consistent. Because of this, implementation details may be ignored by the user, except insofar as they affect performance. If an operation is not atomic, the user will also need to understand and cope with sporadic extraneous behaviour caused by interactions between concurrent operations, which by their nature are likely to be hard to reproduce and debug.

History of linearizability[edit]
Linearizability was first introduced as a consistency model by Herlihy and Wing in 1987. It encompassed more restrictive definitions of atomic, such as "an atomic operation is one which cannot be (or is not) interrupted by concurrent operations", which are usually vague about when an operation is considered to begin and end.
An atomic object can be understood immediately and completely from its sequential definition, as a set of operations run in parallel which always appear to occur one after the other; no inconsistencies may emerge. Specifically, linearizability guarantees that the invariants of a system are observed and preserved by all operations: if all operations individually preserve an invariant, the system as a whole will.
Definition of linearizability[edit]
A concurrent system consists of a collection of processes communicating through shared data structures or objects. Linearizability is important in these concurrent systems where objects may be accessed by multiple processes at the same time and a programmer needs to be able to reason about the expected results. An execution of a concurrent system results in a history, an ordered sequence of completed operations.
A history is a sequence of invocations and responses made of an object by a set of threads or operations. An invocation can be thought of as the start of a an operation, and the response being the signaled end of that operation. Each invocation of a function will have a subsequent response. This can be used to model any use of an object. Suppose, for example, that two threads, A and B, both attempt to grab a lock, backing off if it's already taken. This would be modeled as both threads invoking the lock operation, then both threads receiving a response, one successful, one not.
|A invokes lock
|B invokes lock
|A gets "failed" response
|B gets "successful" response
A sequential history is one in which all invocations have immediate responses. A sequential history should be trivial to reason about, as it has no real concurrency; the previous example was not sequential, and thus is hard to reason about. This is where linearizability comes in.
A history σ is linearizable if there is a linear order of the completed operations such that:
- For every completed operation in σ, the operation returns the same result in the execution as the operation would return if every operation was completed one by one in order σ.
- If an operation op1 completes (gets a response) before op2 begins (invokes), then op1 precedes op2 in σ.
In other words:
- its invocations and responses can be reordered to yield a sequential history;
- that sequential history is correct according to the sequential definition of the object;
- if a response preceded an invocation in the original history, it must still precede it in the sequential reordering.
(Note that the first two bullet points here match serializability: the operations appear to happen in some order. It is the last point which is unique to linearizability, and is thus the major contribution of Herlihy and Wing.)
Let us look at two ways of reordering the locking example above.
|A invokes lock
|A gets "failed" response
|B invokes lock
|B gets "successful" response
Reordering B's invocation below A's response yields a sequential history. This is easy to reason about, as all operations now happen in an obvious order. Unfortunately, it doesn't match the sequential definition of the object (it doesn't match the semantics of the program): A should have successfully obtained the lock, and B should have subsequently aborted.
|B invokes lock
|B gets "successful" response
|A invokes lock
|A gets "failed" response
This is another correct sequential history. It is also a linearization! Note that the definition of linearizability only precludes responses that precede invocations from being reordered; since the original history had no responses before invocations, we can reorder it as we wish. Hence the original history is indeed linearizable.
An object (as opposed to a history) is linearizable if all valid histories of its use can be linearized. Note that this is a much harder assertion to prove.
Linearizability versus serializability[edit]
Consider the following history, again of two objects interacting with a lock:
|A invokes lock
|A successfully locks
|B invokes unlock
|B successfully unlocks
|A invokes unlock
|A successfully unlocks
This history is not valid because there is a point at which both A and B hold the lock; moreover, it cannot be reordered to a valid sequential history without violating the ordering rule. Therefore, it is not linearizable. However, under serializability, B's unlock operation may be moved to before A's original lock, which is a valid history (assuming the object begins the history in a locked state):
|B invokes unlock
|B successfully unlocks
|A invokes lock
|A successfully locks
|A invokes unlock
|A successfully unlocks
While weird, this reordering is sensible provided there is no alternative means of communicating between A and B. Linearizability is better when considering individual objects separately, as the reordering restrictions ensure that multiple linearizable objects are, considered as a whole, still linearizable.
Linearization points[edit]
This definition of linearizability is equivalent to the following:
- All function calls have a linearization point at some instant between their invocation and their response.
- All functions appear to occur instantly at their linearization point, behaving as specified by the sequential definition.
This alternative is usually much easier to prove. It is also much easier to reason about as a user, largely due to its intuitiveness. This property of occurring instantaneously, or indivisibly, leads to the use of the term atomic as an alternative to the longer "linearizable".
In the examples above, the linearization point of the counter built on compare-and-swap is the linearization point of the first (and only) successful compare-and-swap update. The counter built using locking can be considered to linearize at any moment while the locks are held, since any potentially conflicting operations are excluded from running during that period.
Primitive atomic instructions[edit]
Processors have instructions that can be used to implement locking and lock-free and wait-free algorithms. The ability to temporarily inhibit interrupts, ensuring that the currently running process cannot be context switched, also suffices on a uniprocessor. These instructions are used directly by compiler and operating system writers but are also abstracted and exposed as bytecodes and library functions in higher-level languages:
- atomic read-write;
- atomic swap (the RDLK instruction in some Burroughs mainframes, and the XCHG x86 instruction);
- test-and-set;
- fetch-and-add;
- compare-and-swap;
- load-link/store-conditional.
Most[citation needed] processors include store operations that are not atomic with respect to memory. These include multiple words stores and string operations. Should a high priority interrupt occur when a portion of the store is complete, the operation must be completed when the interrupt level is returned. The routine that processes the interrupt must not access the memory being changed. It is important to take this into account when writing interrupt routines.
When there are multiple instructions which must be completed without interruption, a CPU instruction which temporarily disables interrupts is used. This must be kept to only a few instructions and the interrupts must be enabled to avoid unacceptable response time to interrupts or even losing interrupts. This mechanism is not sufficient in a multi-processor environment since each CPU can interfere with the process regardless of whether interrupts occur or not. Further, in the presence of an instruction pipeline, uninterruptible operations present a security risk, as they can potentially be chained in an infinite loop to create a denial of service attack, as in the Cyrix coma bug.
High-level atomic operations[edit]
The easiest way to achieve linearizability is running groups of primitive operations in a critical section. Strictly, independent operations can then be carefully permitted to overlap their critical sections, provided this does not violate linearizability. Such an approach must balance the cost of large numbers of locks against the benefits of increased parallelism.
Another approach, favoured by researchers (but not yet widely used in the software industry), is to design a linearizable object using the native atomic primitives provided by the hardware. This has the potential to maximise available parallelism and minimise synchronisation costs, but requires mathematical proofs which show that the objects behave correctly.
A promising hybrid of these two is to provide a transactional memory abstraction. As with critical sections, the user marks sequential code that must be run in isolation from other threads. The implementation then ensures the code executes atomically. This style of abstraction is common when interacting with databases; for instance, when using the Spring Framework, annotating a method with @Transactional will ensure all enclosed database interactions occur in a single database transaction. Transactional memory goes a step further, ensuring that all memory interactions occur atomically. As with database transactions, issues arise regarding composition of transactions, especially database and in-memory transactions.
A common theme when designing linearizable objects is to provide an all-or-nothing interface: either an operation succeeds completely, or it fails and does nothing. (ACID databases refer to this principle as atomicity.) If the operation fails (usually due to concurrent operations), the user must retry, usually performing a different operation. For example:
- Compare-and-swap writes a new value into a location only if the latter's contents matches a supplied old value. This is commonly used in a read-modify-CAS sequence: the user reads the location, computes a new value to write, and writes it with a CAS (compare-and-swap); if the value changes concurrently, the CAS will fail and the user tries again.
- Load-link/store-conditional encodes this pattern more directly: the user reads the location with load-link, computes a new value to write, and writes it with store-conditional; if the value has changed concurrently, the SC (store-conditional) will fail and the user tries again.
- In a database transaction, if the transaction cannot be completed due to a concurrent operation (e.g. in a deadlock), the transaction will be aborted and the user must try again.
Example atomic operation[edit]
Consider a simple counter which different processes can increment.
The naive, non-atomic implementation:
- reads the value in the memory location;
- adds one to the value;
- writes the new value back into the memory location.
Now, imagine two processes are running incrementing a single, shared memory location:
- the first process reads the value in memory location;
- the first process adds one to the value;
but before it can write the new value back to the memory location it is suspended, and the second process is allowed to run:
- the second process reads the value in memory location, the same value that the first process read;
- the second process adds one to the value;
- the second process writes the new value into the memory location.
The second process is suspended and the first process allowed to run again:
- the first process writes a now-wrong value into the memory location, unaware that the other process has already updated the value in the memory location.
This is a trivial example. In a real system, the operations can be more complex and the errors introduced extremely subtle. For example, reading a 64-bit value from memory may actually be implemented as two sequential reads of two 32-bit memory locations. If a process has only read the first 32 bits, and before it reads the second 32 bits the value in memory gets changed, it will have neither the original value nor the new value but a mixed-up value.
Furthermore, the specific order in which the processes run can change the results, making such an error difficult to detect, reproduce and debug.
Most systems provide an atomic compare-and-swap instruction that reads from a memory location, compares the value with an "expected" one provided by the user, and writes out a "new" value if the two match, returning whether the update succeeded. We can use this to fix the non-atomic counter algorithm as follows:
- read the value in the memory location;
- add one to the value;
- use compare-and-swap to write the incremented value back;
- retry if the value read in by the compare-and-swap did not match the value we originally read.
Since the compare-and-swap occurs (or appears to occur) instantaneously, if another process updates the location while we are in-progress, the compare-and-swap is guaranteed to fail.
Many systems provide an atomic fetch-and-increment instruction that reads from a memory location, unconditionally writes a new value (the old value plus one), and returns the old value. We can use this to fix the non-atomic counter algorithm as follows:
- Use fetch-and-increment to read the old value and write the incremented value back.
Using fetch-and increment is always better (requires fewer memory references) for some algorithms—such as the one shown here—than compare-and-swap,[1] even though Herlihy earlier proved that compare-and-swap is better for certain other algorithms that can't be implemented at all using only fetch-and-increment. So CPU designs with both fetch-and-increment and compare-and-swap (or equivalent instructions) may be a better choice than ones with only one or the other.[1]
Another approach is to turn the naive algorithm into a critical section, preventing other threads from disrupting it, using a lock. Once again fixing the non-atomic counter algorithm:
- acquire a lock, excluding other threads from running the critical section (steps 2-4) at the same time;
- read the value in the memory location;
- add one to the value;
- write the incremented value back to the memory location;
- release the lock.
This strategy works as expected; the lock prevents other threads from updating the value until it is released. However, when compared with direct use of atomic operations, it can suffer from significant overhead due to lock contention. To improve program performance, it may therefore be a good idea to replace simple critical sections with atomic operations for non-blocking synchronization (as we have just done for the counter with compare-and-swap and fetch-and-increment), instead of the other way around, but unfortunately a significant improvement is not guaranteed and lock-free algorithms can easily become too complicated to be worth the effort.

Cry me a Philip Rivers…Broncos Deliver.
Chargers vs Broncos
The Chargers have had the Broncos number at home for years. With the P-F-M 1000 firing on all cylinders I had a feeling that things would be different this game. Today Krista and I took our tailgat'n serious and showed up about 3 1/2 hours pregame. As it has been for every home game for the last two years the weather was perfect.
By the time we got to our seats we had missed the sky divers and the flyover. No worries. We were feel'n fine🙂
Prader kickoff.
Willis McGahee before and after his knee injury…That sucks.
Von Miller gets set.
Knocks the ball loose.
In your face Rivers!!
Broncos recover. Von Miller had 3 sacks and 2 forced fumbles.
Dude's a beast!
Decker airborne for a TD!
Yeah Boy!
With that TD Decker became only the third Bronco to catch at least eight touchdowns in back-to-back seasons.
I didn't take nearly as many pictures as usual. I'll blame it on the unusually long pregame tailgate experience🙂
By the way..Mikes Harder really is a bit harder..WOW
Broncos get the sweep of the Chargers at home with a final score of 30-23. Next up…Chiefs at Arrowhead. That should be a no-brainer.
I'm "D" the Ranter…What's that 5 in a row now? After all the crappy post-Elway years, it feels like football is back in Colorado and it feels good to be relevant again.
I expect I'll be gett'n a bill for Broncos post-season tickets soon.

A court reporter was fired after repeatedly typing, "I hate my job, I hate my job" as well as random characters instead of criminal trial dialogue.
The New York Times reports that Daniel Kochanski, a stenographer with the State Supreme Court in Manhattan, was accused of compromising the integrity of more than 30 court transcripts, which could have serious consequences, such as overturned convictions.
Kochanski's mistakes resulted in incomplete record of at least six trials and two dozen other proceedings, creating delays and legal hurdles for prosecutors and lawyers trying to argue appeals, court administration officials said.
Kochanski told the New York Post that he was not let go because of sloppy work, but because of substance abuse.
It is unclear how the court reporter was able to write gibberish on so many transcripts without being caught after the first one. flub so many court transcripts without being caught and reprimanded after the first one.

The most common accident scenario involves the truck in either a roll-over or a frontal collision sequence. In this case, as well as in other accidents in which the cab is struck by an exterior object or hits the ground, the cab's primary task is to transfer energy backwards through the cabin in order to maintain sufficient survival space inside the cab for the occupants.
To manage this, the cab frame is made of high-strength steel, and is reinforced at the doors and the front. The cab mountings are also designed to yield to a certain extent. This enables the cab to be pushed backward so as to minimise penetration and deformation likely to injure the driver.
All Volvo cabs meet the Swedish cab strength standard - the toughest in the world. This set of tests includes the front pendulum test, which among other things simulates the collision with ground obstacles in a roll-over accident. Not to mention the rear pendulum test, which simulates the impact of cargo that has come off and hit the back of the cab.

The Bobcats now sport a 5-7 overall record and stand 2-3 in district play so far this year.
Odem put three runs on the scoreboard in the bottom of the second to take the lead away from the 'Cats. Single runs in the third, fourth and fifth frames put on the finishing touches for the Owls. The S-T boys managed to push across their second run in the fourth to make the final 6-2.
"We jumped on them and had momentum until we made a few mistakes in the second inning. In the fifth inning, we had a chance to get back in the game and made a couple mistakes at the plate and on the bases that cost us," said head coach Cody Fields.
Bobcat Jonathan Hernandez pitched six innings and took the loss. He gave up two earned runs and struck out four Owl batters.
The Owl hurlers allowed three Bobcat base hits in the contest as Kyle Nelson, T.J. Amador and Eric Schumacher picked up the S-T base hits.
"We hit the ball hard a couple times, but Odem made a few great plays. We had our opportunities and didn't capitalize," Fields said.
The Bobcats hosted the San Diego Vaqueros on Friday night and will travel to Freer on Monday to play the Buckaroos.

Learn more:Apps 4 Africa | The President's Forum with Young African Leaders | White House BlogAbout the Author: Johnnie Carson serves as Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs.
This past week proved to be a truly remarkable "Africa Week" in Washington. In keeping with our deep and broad interests in, and commitments to, Africa, we held three major Africa-related programs: The President's Forum with Young African Leaders, the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act Forum, and the African Women's Entrepreneurship Program.
Tuesday morning, I welcomed 115 of Africa's most dynamic and capable young people to the beginning of the President's Forum with Young African Leaders. This group of civil society and business leaders, all between the ages of 20 and 35, will have a major influence on building Africa in the next 50 years. If you have ever wondered how Africa is going harness its resources and address its challenges, this is the group of people to ask. They have ideas, and they have answers. Secretary Clinton's remarks truly inspired this group, and many were still talking about her speech the next day.
Tuesday afternoon, it was my privilege to accompany the Forum participants to a town hall meeting with President Obama in the White House. I loved seeing these young leaders, many of whom were wearing stunning traditional African dress, in the elegant East Room. The atmosphere was charged with energy and optimism as the young people shared their vision of the future with the President. We all recognize the very real challenges Africa faces, but I believe that all of us left the White House newly committed to realizing the continent's extraordinary potential. It won't be easy or fast, but it is clearly in America's interest to build partnerships with this impressive generation of leaders.
Also on Tuesday, Secretary Clinton addressed the Ninth Annual Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) Forum here in Washington. The AGOA Forum provides a platform for government officials, business people and civil society leaders from African countries and the United States to promote opportunities for economic growth in the U.S. and in Africa. This year, we have a split venue -- two days in Washington and two days in Kansas City, Missouri -- in order to more fully engage on agricultural development and business opportunity. Americans and Africans share a love of the land and a tradition of farming, and I believe that agriculture offers tremendous opportunities for mutual benefit.
Finally, in association with the AGOA Forum, we invited a truly dynamic group from Africa to visit the United States: 35 African businesswomen. The group that is here now, representing businesses as diverse as commercial fishing, construction, and export/import, is made up of truly extraordinary people. These women have begun to network among themselves and with American business leaders, and businesses and economies in Africa are sure to benefit.
As the leader of America's diplomatic relations with Africa, I am truly pleased to see this new focus on Africa and the concrete activities that give it substance. I believe that we are breathing new life in our relationship at many different levels -- government, business and civil society -- and know that Americans and Africans will benefit from those efforts. We are at a new beginning in helping Africans build the next 50 years of their future, and invite you all to participate in building and deepening those partnerships.
Saber in Sudan writes:
I think it is a great opportunity where African Young leader would be inspired with the sublime democracy spirit from Washington that African needs to build their future to the coming generations, to defeat diseases, to fight terror & conflicts and wars a great move toward peace building eradicating Disease such as HIV/AIDS, Malira , USA always stands with other nations. The White House & the Department of State are playing a great role in bringing nations together into a great Human Harmony. As per it is a shared responsibility that we stand by each other that is almost a remarkable big events. Thank you Mr. President, Thank you USA. :-)
Orikinla O. in Nigeria writes:
I am not happy with the way the administration of President Barack Obama is addressing the violations of democratic rule in Nigeria.
The ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) is abusing democracy as the corrupt leaders of the party and the corrupt legislators continue to plunder Nigeria with impunity.
Many people are calling for a bloody revolution to overthrow the most corrupt government in Nigeria. And most of us will welcome a coup.
There will be widespread chaos in Nigeria if the United States of America continues to support the corrupt government in Nigeria.

If anything, perhaps he did this at a pervious time while in Cannes and told someone about it.
It's like a game of telephone bc the details get more muddled the more it's retold.

Lane Cedar Chest
2 of 2 photos
Lane "Brand Name" and "Virginia Maid" Brand Name
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Lane® Home Furniture is calling for a renewed search for cedar chests with lids that automatically latch shut when closed, locking children inside. CPSC is aware of the recent deaths of a Franklin, Mass. brother and sister ages seven and eight who suffocated inside one of the chests. To prevent a similar tragedy, CPSC and Lane are urging consumers to check their "Lane" and "Virginia Maid" brand cedar chests. CPSC's investigation has determined that the lid on the 75-year-old Lane cedar chest closed and automatically latched shut, locking the children inside the chest. The second-hand Lane cedar chest was bought from a local resale store about 13 years ago.
In 1996, the Lane Company, Inc. recalled 12 million chests with latch/locks that automatically secure the lid when closed. They began offering new latch/locks free of charge that prevent children from being trapped inside the chest. The new latch/locks, which Lane continues to make available to consumers, do not automatically latch and trap children inside the chest when the lid is closed. The original recall included reports of six children suffocating to death inside these chests. A seventh suffocation death and two near fatalities occurred between 1996 and 2000.
The old style latches on all "Lane" and "Virginia Maid" brand cedar chests manufactured between 1912 and 1987 need to be replaced. Chests can be identified by the brand name "Lane" or "Virginia Maid" located inside the cedar chest. These chests are often handed down through families or purchased second-hand.
Consumers should immediately remove the latch from Lane/Virginia Maid cedar chests and contact Lane to receive new replacement hardware. This new hardware is easy to install by consumers in their homes and does not automatically latch shut. For certain chests made between 1912 and 1940, consumers will receive hardware that does not latch. For chests made from 1940 to present, consumers will receive hardware that does not automatically latch when closed and requires a person outside the chest to latch and lock the lid. If you own a similar hope chest or cedar chest that is not part of the recall, disable or remove the latch/lock. Contact Lane toll-free at (800) 225-0265, Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT, or access their web site at http://www.lanefurniture.com/ to order the free replacement hardware. Consumers should have the chest's serial and style numbers, which are branded on the outside bottom or back of the chest, available when contacting Lane.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.

text: For about a month my 8 month old has only nursed in the morning before his nap and before bed and up to 3 times during the night. He is teething now and I have him on Tyenol. He screams when I give him orajel. This morning he bit me hard and I reacted by putting my finger in his mouth to release him and yelled No!, no biting and I stopped nursing him. Actually it happened at the beginning of nursing. I tried again a few minutes later and the same thing happened. Again before his nap time. He hasn't nursed all day! I pumped and tried to feed him the milk in a sippy cup but he wouldn't take it. He loves drinking water and juice from his sippy cup. I tried a bottle and a dropper but he wouldn't take it. He'd drink a whole bottle of tyenol from a dropper if I'd let him. Now when I try to nurse him he just screams. He is pushing away any baby food I try to give him. The only food he will eat are foods he can feed himself. Today that was cherrios, Gerber's puffs and banana. Concerned that he hasn't had enough liquids today, I just tried to give him some water and he wouldn't take it. He is just so upset. All he will do is cry so I just put him to bed about 45 minutes early. It is quiet now. I hope I can nurse him once he is asleep. It is so hard not to get angry with him. I am so exhausted. Has anyone else experienced this? What can I do?

Spencer Hollow School now on Register of Historic Places
Len Emery Photo The Spencer Hollow School is located at the corner of Spencer Hollow Road and Skitchewaug Trail, (Route 143). An open house will be held Oct. 20 at the school, which was recently accepted on the National Register for Historic Places.
SPRINGFIELD The Spencer Hollow School, dilapidated and all but abandoned a few years ago, is now on the National Register of Historic Places as a prime example of an early Vermont one-room schoolhouse.
The brick schoolhouse may or may not be the oldest surviving schoolhouse in Vermont, nudging out another Springfield schoolhouse, the Eureka School, which until now was the undisputed oldest school in the state.
Estimates of the date of the construction for the Spencer Hollow School range from 1781 to 1810, with the later date accepted by the expert hired by the state to write the nominating petition to the National Park Service. Local lore puts its construction at 1781, at least four years older than Eureka, which the state says the building process started in 1785 and completed in 1790.
Bill Mitchell of Springfield, a member of Friends of the Spencer Hollow School, said Tuesday that Eva Bakers Folklore of Springfield, Vermont put the age of the schoolhouse at 1781, and he rejected theories included in the states nominating papers that brick in the quantity to build a school wasnt even being made at that early date.
The two one-room schools are certainly old; the Spencer Hollow School is still in its original location at the intersection of Skitchewaug Trail and Spencer Hollow Road, on a rocky corner of land. The Eureka School, which is owned by the state and is a state historic site, was disassembled at its original location in the Eureka District and restored and reassembled in 1968 in a more public location on Route 106. That location is several miles from the Eureka District, which was the site of Springfields original settlement.
Mitchell, who lives in Spencer Hollow, said the Friends group had worked hard to try to answer the question of the schools age, and was relying heavily on Bakers book, which was published in 1922.
Weve checked every place we could and had people come to look at the brick. We know there was a brick mill in the valley, he said.
Its very often the case that the exact date of construction is not known, but a close approximation can be made based on historic references, old maps, physical evidence in the building itself, said Devin Colman, a historic preservation review coordinator, for the Division of Historic Preservation.
Spencer Hollow was built circa 1810. 1782 is when school districts were established and a local committee started establishing districts in the area. Eureka School is the oldest. Colman wrote in an email.
Brick schoolhouses werent common in Vermont until after 1825, according to the nominating petition.
According to the petition, Bakers account about the Spencer Hollow Schools age relied on the papers of a Samuel Whitcomb, who only moved to Springfield in 1836, where he lived until his death in 1879.
It is not known how Whitcomb came to believe that the Spencer Hollow School was erected in 1781, 11 years before his birth and 29 before his first visit to the town at the age of 18. However, town records indicate the building was in need of repair as of 1801 and that a debt was still owned to a John Gill for its original construction, the petition stated.
The petition also noted that in 2007 historic brick kiln bases were discovered nearby, and that historical accounts indicate a sawmill wasnt erected in the area until 1803.
Further research, the petition said, showed that there was an early brickmaker by the name of Lemuel Whitney Sr., who lived in Spencer Hollow between 1780 and 1813.
Local lore places the construction of the Spencer Hollow School in 1782 and since Whitneys property was slightly north of the schoolhouse site, it is conceivable that its bricks originated there, the petition says, further clouding the issue.
Mitchell said the designation from the federal historic agency doesnt come with money to help in the schools restoration, but it should act as a big plus nonetheless in opening doors to future grants.
A lot of work needs to be done, said Mitchell, starting with the roof and foundation.
A local group of concerned citizens, headed by North Springfield resident Don Whitney and Mitchell, started the restoration effort around 2008, and slowly they have worked to cut the brush and trees which had grown up around the school, and restore the broken windows.
Mitchell said that the group does have several projects that volunteers have promised to do, including fixing the wooden kitchen floor. Someone has also agreed to sand the floor in the main room, and someone else has agreed to electrify the building.
Right now we just have temporary power, he said. We do have a telephone hooked up in the kitchen for emergencies. But wed like to have the Internet for genealogical research on people who went to the school. An electric range would also be a plus, he said.
There have been problems, vandals did break out most of the windows, and even stole the schools original pot bellied stove.
The town stopped using the school as a schoolhouse in 1926, with the advent of consolidated schools and easier transportation into the center of town. A community group called the Spencer Hollow Club then took over the building, Mitchell said, holding everything from wedding receptions to birthday parties, 4-H meetings and community suppers. But that club finally stopped using the building in 1972.
Mitchell said Friends of the Spencer Hollow School will hold an all-day open house on Oct. 20. The schoolhouse is located about three miles out of the center of Springfield, just off Route 143 (Skitchewaug Trail).

Many smokers have turned to "vaping" to get their nicotine fix, creating the young and growing industry of electronic cigarettes sales in Hawaii.
Some buyers of these products are also young, in fact they are minors.
Right now that is completely legal.
Years of hearing the message about the harmful effects of smoking have sunk in for many Hawaii teenagers.
"We know not to smoke and its bad for you, but its still cool to walk around with a cigarette. You don't want to be that stinky kid though, who is smoking up and polluting everyone's air," said Alana Laanui, a high school junior at Maryknoll School.
A number of island teens have taken to electronic inhalers and e-cigarettes.
"E-cigarettes are the new generation's way of looking cool while still having a smoke-free presence," said Laanui.
E-cigarettes vaporize a liquid solution into a mist to simulates smoking without the stink or tobacco side-effects. Right now, it is legal for anyone to buy them.
"Young people can purchase e-cigarettes. There is no age restriction," said Nicole Sutton, the coordinator for REAL: Hawaii Youth Movement Exposing the Tobacco Industry.
Teens also said the same thing when they went to e-cigarette kiosks at the malls.
"I was never asked my age. The salespeople pushed to get us to purchase them," said REAL activist Makeda Morris.
A bill being advanced by some lawmakers, would make it illegal for anyone under 18 to purchase electronic cigarettes.
Some of these vaporizers may not even contain nicotine, so what is the problem with teens picking up this habit?
"It just normalizes smoking, the act of smoking," said Sutton.
Sutton is worried it will one day lead to teens smoking real cigarettes and face future health problems.
At Vaportokers in Nuuanu, all products, including nicotine-free items, are off-limits to minors.
"Typically someone under 18 is not allowed to buy things," said Kalei Hoopai with Vaportokers.
Hoopai was not worried about an age-limit bill, but was concerned more regulation will eventually lead to more taxes. He fears that could vaporize profits for the growing industry.
"It's gonna happen. I just don't know when or how it will work. They're going to find a way to eventually mess with e-cigarette businesses," said Hoopai.
Hoopai said that could drive many e-cigarette shoppers to the Internet. That is where some minors are already going.
"Usually they go on-line where you don't have to prove you are of age," said Libby Lafitaga, a sophomore at Kalaheo High School.
Price used to be a factor in keeping teens from buying e-cigarettes, but now the electronic devices can be bought for less than a pack of real cigarettes.

Pretty interesting back story on him and stones throw. I didn't even know he was off the label. http://blogs.laweekl...up_singer_a.php
When did you make the jump from Stones Throw to Interscope?
I started with Stones Throw in 2005 and released a single and an album in 2006. Between 2006 and 2009, I was making a lot of music, turning it in and trying to release my next album, because I signed with them for only two albums. By 2009, the owner of the label [Peanut Butter Wolf] wasn't really interested in anything I was turning in. He thought it sounded too commercial. I guess in a way the label likes things a little bit gritty and underground, and it didn't sound underground enough. At that time I was recording at professional studios.
The manager of the label told the owner of the studio, "Let me take over Aloe's project so we can get something that the label wants." They sent me to New York to work with a soul music production team, and I ended up recording Good Things with them. When I brought it back to L.A. to play it for the owner of the label, he said, "No, I don't want to release this music."
That's a bummer.
I thought, "Well it's been three years since I released anything. I'm an underground independent artist. This is how I pay rent, and until I release something, I'm going to be basically struggling." It was just really a push and pull between Peanut Butter Wolf and the manager of the label at that time, Eothen Alapatt, or Egon, who has since left Stones Throw. I don't know if they've repaired their relationship, but it was a lot of "I don't like your idea, so I'm not going to let it happen," and I was caught in the middle of it. I had to have a heart to heart with Wolf and say, "This is my livelihood and I've got to release music, and if you won't release anything, at least let me off the label or something."
Then what happened?
Eventually he relented and released Good Things and "I Need a Dollar" [in 2010]. Luckily, we go the attention of the music supervisor of How to Make it in America who wanted to use "I Need a Dollar" for the theme of the TV show. That gave some traction and movement to the album. Stones Throw never asked to option another album from me.
In 2011, I ended up siging with Interscope. In the years prior, Stones Throw never approached me and said, "We had success with Good Things, would you like to come and record another album with us?" which would have been great. I probably would have, but I think they waited a little too long.
How has that been for you?
Really beneficial. They've been wonderful, still letting me have creative freedom, and they have the infrastructure to make it work really well in the U.S. I think Stones Throw, as an indie label, didn't really have that kind of infrastructure.

The military judge overseeing the case of Staff Sgt. Robert Bales says he will require Bales to undergo an official review of his sanity before he can present any mental health defense to charges of massacring Afghan civilians.
Staff Sgt. Robert Bales deferred entering a plea Thursday at Joint Base Lewis-McChord to 16 counts of premeditated murder and other charges related to a nighttime attack on two villages last March.
But the judge took up arguments over whether Bales can present a mental health defense or testimony from mental health experts, given that he has not yet participated in a "sanity board" review.
The judge says Bales needs to participate if he wants to present a mental health defense, but he has made no decisions about the conditions of that review and what information from it is turned over to prosecutors.

Wesleyan names new VP for academic affairs
Dr. Boyd Creasman, professor of English and director of the School of Fine Arts and Humanities, has been named vice president for academic affairs at West Virginia Wesleyan College. He will begin his duties July 1.
Creasman has served in the capacity of chair of the English Department, director of General Studies, director of First-Year Seminar and co-chair of the Retention Committee. He was presented the Award for Exemplary Teaching in 2002, the Outstanding Academic Advisor in 1999, and the Outstanding Teacher in the Honors Program in 1998, 2007 and 2012. He also has been published in several literary journals and has been a presenter at a number of academic conferences.
Creasman will oversee leadership for academics, from recruiting and retaining faculty to reviewing academic programs. Currently, he supervises faculty, directs the assessment program and coordinates course development offerings as the director of the School of Fine Arts and Humanities, a position he has held since 2010.
Creasman said his predecessor played a very integral role in helping the college become what it is today and putting it on a path of success.
"Larry Parsons is such a legend," Creasman said. "He has delivered high-quality music programs, and he is a highly respected and admired figure who has done great work in this position. I admire him as a person, and I want to keep us moving on the path of excellence."
However, with his eyes on the future, Creasman understands just how much his current role has prepared him for new endeavors.
"My current position has prepared me to handle the scope of problems you try to solve or solutions you seek out that make it difficult to get to everything," he said. "You have to prioritize and be proactive. You have to be creative at a small school with fiscal realities, but I look forward to addressing the challenges Wesleyan faces."
Creasman received his Ph.D. and master's degree in English from Florida State University and his Bachelor of Arts in English from Middle Tennessee State University. He began his tenure at West Virginia Wesleyan in 1990.

Owen turned 2 yrs old a few weeks ago. He still wants to nurse every few hours during the daytime and several times a night. I have been working on night-weaning him and getting him down to nursing when he wakes up in the morning (6:30am), before nap time (goes down between 11:30-12:30) and before bed (goes down between 7-7:30pm). But, it has been really hard to decrease his nursing sessions. He wants to nurse several times in between waking up, nap, and bedtime and asks several times a night and when I don't nurse him he gets pretty mad and hits/kicks/scratches/yells/cries. I try everything I can think of to distract him but it takes a while to work and the fit still happens. At night time I tell him if he keeps hurting mommy he will need to go sleep in his crib (we mostly co-sleep), that we can cuddle and will nurse in the morning. I don't think he knows what morning is though, it's still dark out when we get up in the morning.
It was MUCH easier to night-wean Emma. I did it over 3 months, she was 18-21 months. She cried for like 20 minutes the first night, 10 the next, and by the thrid night she didn't cry at all when I told her she needed to wait until morning. But I was only not nursing her from 11pm-3am at first and I just increased the amount of time slowly and we went back to night nursing when we traveled or she got sick. But, once she hit 21 months, she didn't nurse from 8pm to 6am. And by the time she was 2 yrs old, I nursed her 1-3 times a day...I was pumping and nursing her baby brother. When she was 2 1/2 yrs old, I hit a wall with nursing her but we continued with no more than once a day and sometimes not even every day, until she was 3yrs 7mos.
But, I feel like I've hit that wall with Owen now. And I feel guilty about not wanting to nurse him as long as I nursed Emma. And for wanting to wean him when he doesn't seem ready. LOTS of kids are weaned before they are 2 yrs old and they do fine...all of my girlfriends have weaned their youngest children and they are 3-6 months younger than him. They seem fine to me. And it's driving me crazy that he shoves his hand down my shirt and yells "milk, mommy, milk!" when we're out, playing with friends, etc. And that's the other thing...he wants to put his hand down my shirt when he nurses and often will grab at my other nipple and it makes me crazy. I say "no thank you, please don't put your hand down my shirt" and offer to hold his hand, but he shoves it back, I pull it out, he shoves it back, and on and on. It's like a battle between us and I hate it! Nursing is not a sweet, loving thing between us anymore. Which makes me want to stop. But, again, I feel guilty because he seems to have so much difficulty with me decreasing his nursing sessions, and I nursed Emma for so much longer than this. It seems like most moms nurse their subsequent children longer than their first and I'd be going the other way.
Any advice?

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.

Red Velvet Black & White CookiesMarch 2008
We gave a classic New York cookie some much-needed color.
Makes: 10 servings
Prep: 40 mins
Cook: 15 mins
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
- Using a mixer, beat 5 tablespoons butter with the granulated sugar until fluffy, 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, food coloring and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk until smooth.
- Place 1/4-cup scoops of batter 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet; spread out. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies sit for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool.
- In a bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon corn syrup and 2 tablespoons hot water until smooth. In another bowl, combine the chocolate, remaining 3 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon corn syrup; microwave until melted, about 1 minute.
- Coat the cookies with the vanilla, then the chocolate icing. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.
- Spread the cookie batter in a circular motion with the back of a spoon.
Tip Downsize it
- Make mini cookies using 2-tablespoon scoops of batter
- Coat all of the cookies with the vanilla icing first- then the chocolate- to avoid smearing.
- If the icing gets too thick, add extra water until it's a spreadable consistency.

Stocks to Watch: HP, Ford, Sears, Gap
NEW YORK -- Hewlett-Packard
HP reported earnings of 87 cents a share in the first quarter on revenue of $27.6 billion.
Analysts were looking for profit of 82 cents a share on sales of $28.36 billion.
"We beat the upper end of our non-GAAP diluted EPS outlook for the quarter by $0.05 per share, driven by better than expected performance in Enterprise Services and Printing, coupled with the accelerated capture of restructuring savings and improvement in our operations," said Meg Whitman, HP president and CEO, in a statement..
For the third quarter, HP expects it will earn on a non-GAAP basis between 84 cents and 87 cents a share. For the full year, the company expects non-GAAP earnings of between $3.50 and $3.60 a share.
The closure of the plants will mean the loss of 1,200 jobs.
Ford began making cars in Australia in 1925 and is the third-largest automaker in the country.

BSC Students and Faculty Attend EcoSummit 2013
CreatedTuesday, November 20 2012
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
(Bluefield)—Students and faculty from Bluefield State College joined their colleagues from other Historically Black Colleges and Universities at EcoSummit, 2012 in Columbus, OH. The six-day program brought together more than 1600 of the world's leaders in ecological science to the Greater Columbus Convention.
BSC students Crystal Dillon and Loren Morris, along with Dr. Martha Eborall, Dean of the BSC School of Arts & Sciences, viewed "cutting edge" work while attending symposia and workshops on sustainability and restoration of the earth's ecosystem services. "Students experienced firsthand the global importance of ecological sustainability, took part in a field trip of their choice, and networked with world-renowned scientists and academicians," Dr. Eborall noted.
Students heard lectures and panel discussions led by some of the nation's leaders in the field of sustainability, including Harvard's E.O. Wilson, Pulitzer Prize winning author Jared Diamond, and Lester Brown, founder and president of the Earth Policy Institute.
"These students now have a better understanding of the interconnected nature of our ecosystems," added Bernice Cage, Public Information and Diversity Manager for the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission, a sponsor of EcoSummit 2012. "The world is diverse, our population is diverse, and it's important for a diverse student population to be part of the sustainability conversation.
The students' costs associated with attending EcoSummit 2012 were underwritten by Limited Brands, Inc. In all, 23 students from HBCU member institutions Bluefield State College, Claflin University, Miles College and Spelman College attended EcoSummit 2012.

"While you may not be offended, this week's words did offend some enough to prompt them to cancel their subscriptions."
I applaud Anu for not shying away from these words and subjects. Those who cancelled their subscriptions are proverbially cutting off their noses to spite their faces and their days will be less enlightened. Words are what they are and to not explore them and their history at the risk of seeming racist or politically incorrect is to not learn and grow from the heritage and history of our languages.

I agree with you that Anu both mentioned that some people were offended enough to cancel their subscriptions as well as the earlier decision to run with the "Words that appear offensive but are not" I also applaud.
I do disagree with the line in the reply to the comment just prior to the one you mentioned... "Your observation that three out of five words have negative connotations to blacks may be correct..."
the 3 words mentioned do not have negative connotations to blacks... Tar Baby may be looked on as it was adopted as a racial slur, but "niggle, niggling, niggard, niggardly" or any other word that happens to "n", "i" or "g" (in that order, other then the "N-Word") should not offend people, their poor education should be more offensive, and it will haunt them longer.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Seven albums, three bands, and 15 years into his career, Andrew McMahon continues to reinvent and reinvigorate his music.
The Southern-California singer/songwriter's latest album, the self-titled first release of his new Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness project, was released in October of last year and finds McMahon spreading his wings into new sonic and thematic territories while retaining his penchant for deeply personal lyrics and confessional melodies.
Reinvention, though, is nothing new for McMahon, who started out fronting emo band Something Corporate before breaking off for a solo project under the name Jack's Mannequin. McMahon recently made a change again with the release of Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. "I think I was ready to move on from Jack's Mannequin," he said. "A lot of that music was so closely attached to a really difficult time in my life that spiritually I was ready to cleanse myself of that and move into a new, exciting chapter that didn't have to be so closely attached to my cancer," referring to his diagnosis and battle with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
With a newly born child, McMahon was ready to look forward and felt a new name, his own name, was a necessary step to take in his career. "I felt like I was in a new moment in my life where so many things were changing and my emotional and spiritual headspace was so much more grounded. In that it was like this is the moment to step out and say, 'Yeah I am a guy in a band but my name is Andrew and I'd like you to hear my new songs.'"
