Workplace Conflict Management: Strategy for Successful Resolution
A successful workplace conflict management strategy will reduce hostility and aggressiveness at work. Conflict management and resolution must address everyone's needs and concerns, including your own, so in turn you will be more effective and have greater job satisfaction. Learn how to improve your conflict management skills, with this conflict management article.
First let's clarify definitions. We call it "conflict management" because we expect hostile, aggressive behaviour from all parties involved in a discussion or issue, and some kind of moderation is required for things to work out. It doesn't have to be like that.
Using the Conflict Management Model, you can see how behaviour can be expressed in terms of co-operation and assertiveness, and how that approach works (or not!).
Avoidance - Non assertive, non co-operative
Avoidance is useful, if there is no pressing need to resolve differences now or in the future. Individuals are indifferent to each other's needs, and issues are evaded or ignored completely. Generally, this is not a useful long term conflict management strategy as the workplace is never small enough to avoid someone completely!
Accommodation - Non assertive, co-operative
Accommodation is allowing the other person's needs to be met, usually at the expense of your own. This is a useful conflict management strategy if you don't care about the issue, or if you have little power in the relationship or situation. Also, letting the other person have their way once in a while may preserve or even build a relationship. However, being too accommodating too often can weaken your position to the point where your voice is never heard.
Compromise - Some assertiveness, some cooperation
Compromise is on the path toward collaboration, somewhere between competition and accommodation. It's about giving up some ground in order to gain other ground elsewhere. You win some, you lose some! This is a useful conflict management strategy if time is tight, or if it's not worth exploring things more fully. Also, compromise is useful when one party can't force their solution on the other.
Competition - Assertive, non co-operative
Competition is the flip-side of accommodation - it's about making sure your own needs are met, no matter the cost. This win-lose approach is useful if there is an important deadline to meet, or if the relationship with the other party is not important. However, steam-rolling your way around the workplace may get things done, but there will be an army of people who won't catch you if you fall.
Collaboration - Assertive, co-operative
Collaboration is a road not often travelled as it can be long, and requires some skill and effort. Collaboration is about assuming positive intent and seeing things from all sides, in detail. It's about acknowledging and accepting differences, and exploring alternative solutions that meet everyone's needs and concerns. It is a useful conflict management strategy when the issues are important to everyone, and all sides need to be committed to the solution.
Choose the Right Conflict Management Strategy
To make use of the conflict management model, you need to ask some tough questions. Are you assertive or do you let people walk all over you? Do you co-operate or is it win at all cost? Think about a workplace conflict, and assess how co-operative and assertive you are, and how assertive and co-operative the other party is. Maybe changing your approach may change their reaction, and resolve the conflict both now and in the future.

While wins and losses are essentially meaningless during spring training, it is still an important time for players to round into regular-season form.
It's a time for star players to get ready for another big season, and bubble players to battle for their spot on a team's 25-man roster.
We're roughly at the midway point of spring training, so here is an updated look at where all 30 teams stand as we move closer to Opening Day.

I have heard that the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion which the Church of England and other Anglican/Episcopalian bodies worldwide (officially) subscribe to is a basically Reformed or Calvinistic confessional document, but that there has been a great deal of disagreement over the centuries as to the degree that it is Reformed or Calvinistic in several areas.
My concern is just with its soteriology. Would you say that the Thirty-Nine Articles teach each of the five points of Calvinism? If not, could one consistently be a five-pointer and hold to the Thirty-Nine Articles in its entirety?

Well, why not just calculate its first derivative and equate it to zero.
if there are no stationary points inside (1/2,1) then f_n is strictly decreasing (btw, you meant ).
Yes this maybe also tough to calculate, you can let Maple,Matlab,Mathematica to calculate this. (I prefer Maple, it seems more quick than Mathematica).
Have you tried equating f' to zero, and see if there are no solutions?
Even if there is a solution, you need to check that at these stationary points the following cases are met:
1. we don't have one stationary point which its f_n value is negative and another two stationary points which f_n value is positive cause in this case we have two zeros(actually 3).
and other options, which I can't account for now cause I haven't calculated its first derivative, but the principle in this way to look for stationary and excluding any possibility for more than one zero.

Too Much Silence Around Affirmative Action
Julianne Malveaux | 6/21/2012, 11:04 a.m.
The most conservative Supreme Court in the past four decades is poised to overturn the already limited affirmative action provisions in the next term, which begins in October, unless good sense visits one or two of them and they vote in favor of student body diversity. Since Bush-appointed justices John Robert and Samuel Alito have joined the court, the court has voiced hostility to government uses of race.
The case, Fisher v. University of Texas, was brought by Abigail Noel Fisher, a White woman student who did not qualify for the Texas Top Ten Percent plan, which automatically admits the top 10 percent of every high school class in Texas to the University of Texas. Despite this, Fisher contends that she was denied Fourteen Amendment protection and was discriminated against because of her race.
Her reasoning? Though more than 80 percent of UT students are admitted under the Top Ten Percent Plan, others are admitted based on talent, leadership qualities and family circumstances as well as race. This seems to meet the Grutter v. Bollinger standard that race may be one, but not the only, factor in determining college admissions.
However, Abigail Fisher is one of a long line of mediocre White students who might or might not have been admitted to UT, regardless of race. The student, who seems unable to accept her own academic shortcoming, is blaming the fact that she didn't get into UT on African American students, instead of blaming it on herself.
Fisher was hardly disadvantaged by the fact that she didn't get into UT. She was scheduled to graduate from Louisiana State University this year. Lower courts have found in favor of the University of Texas, though the Firth Circuit decision not to review the case was decided narrowly, at 9-7. With two reversals, one would have thought that the lawyers at Wiley Rein would have given up. But with a conservative, race-hostile Supreme Court, these folks were able to convince the court to review this case.
Understand that this isn't a case the Supremes had to take. They could have taken a pass and decided to let the lower courts speak. But they didn't, leaving one to think that there is an agenda to dismantle affirmative action.
While many organizations, on both sides of the table have filed amicus or friend of the court briefs, I am concerned that the Fisher case is generating much less publicity than either the University of Michigan cases or 35- year old Bakke decision. One might argue that things have changed so significantly that communities of color do not find affirmative action necessary, or that we are so used to being attacked that we will not fight back. But the data make it clear that there are still major gaps in college completion between African Americans, Latinos and Whites. While 29 percent of the U.S. population older than 25 has a college degree, the number for African Americans is 14 percent. It is 8 percent for Latinos.

Letters: Why not post a garrison in Iraq?
After hearing the Democratic presidential debates, I don't understand why our soldiers in Korea, Japan, Germany, Italy - and troops all over the world - aren't included in the promise to bring them home immediately, which the candidates want to do with soldiers in Iraq.
Editorial: What are voters up to?
Perhaps you have heard of this kind of ploy: Given the absence of any serious political activity in the city or county where you live, you can cross over into the "other" party's primary.
Letters: Election complaint explained
Elections and the campaigns that drive them are intended to give voters a fair look at the candidates running for the office.
Letter: Praying for candidate doesn't sit well
I am writing in response to the Feb. 16 letter by Bill and Mary Geist, who wrote that Mike Huckabee "was the man we would pray for."
Letters: Just how do we save energy?
I am quoting an article in today's paper (Feb. 21) titled, "Five simple ways to save energy at home." It explains how we can "slow" global warming by using fluorescent bulbs, despite concerns on how to dispose of the small amount of mercury they contain.
Letter: Ex-president's lies spoil wife's candidacy
Did Mike Faulkner (letter to the editor, Feb. 22) actually compare Bill Clinton to Jesus? I know that's not what he meant, or at least I hope he didn't.
Letters: Huckabee will protect sovereignty
It seems as though our political system has become a soap opera.
Letter: Duke deserves nod for Potter sheriff

Column - Greg Sagan: Almighty euro sucking power out of dollar
"Euros only." You might expect to see such a sign at a business in Paris, Berlin or Rome. But in a true "sign of the times" businesses in New York City, the bastion of American capitalism, are beginning to shift away from collecting dollars.
Editorial: Keep out, pit bulls
Amarillo has had another pit bull incident, and this one is indicative of a growing problem.
Editorial: Amarillo area wrestles with success
The Amarillo area has owned girls high school wrestling in the state of Texas since the turn of the century, with the Caprock Lady Longhorns winning their fifth straight state championship this past Saturday in Austin. That is nine in a row for Amarillo ISD schools since 2000.
Editorial: Speak up and break the law
We're breaking the law, although no one would dare haul us off in handcuffs and leg irons for having published editorials about the Texas House speaker's race.
Column - Jerome Johnson: Be wary of soaring rhetoric when background is lacking
We are in the process of finding a new president, and John McCain is apparently to be the nominee of the Republican Party. Many Democrats seem to be enthralled with Barack Obama, but they must proceed with caution.
Letter: Thomas brings integrity to sheriff's race
Perhaps you have seen him asking for your help in solving Amarillo's latest crime. However, it is the experience behind those 30-second radio and TV spots that makes Brian Thomas well-qualified to be the next Potter County sheriff.
Russell Lowery-Hart, associate vice president for academic affairs at West Texas A & M University, has been named one of 10 Outstanding First-Year Student Advocates by the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition.

Electric Radiant Heaters
Electric radiant heaters are perfect for any room. One can use them in the bedroom, living room or office. The electric radiant heaters are available in different sizes and eye catching designs. Personally I have used an electric radiant heater and am happy the way it operates. It has a 24 hour programmable timer (an energy saving feature) that helps to heat the room in desired amount of time. It also has vertical thermal chimneys that are engineered to provide maximum radiant heat flow. The variable heat settings are engineered to maximize radiant heat flow while maintaining low temperature surface.
Heater Store has other types of electric radiant heaters also. These include the suspended or hand carry electric heater. This heater has a very efficient heat coverage pattern. It has a yellow colored safety finishing which is power coated. It has four raised slots for permanent overhead installation. High efficiency gold anodized aluminum reflectors help to improve the proficiency of the heater.
If you are looking for a specific heater for large shops, restaurants, recreational facilities, fire stations, etc., then browse through the range of electric radiant heaters at the Heater Store. These heaters are energy efficient and are value for money. For more information log on to the radiant heater section, now.

Hilton Garden Inn Celebrates Grand Opening on Stony Brook University Campus

Cutting the Ribbon - Wolfie joins Dr. Robert Frey, CEO of Harbor Construction Management and his wife Kathy Frey; Frank Toner, COO of Harbor Construction Management; SUNY Trustee Cary Staller; SBU Sr. VP, Barbara Chernow; and, Hilton Garden Inn General Manager William Gomes.
STONY BROOK, NY, May 13, 2013
– The newly opened Hilton Garden Inn at Stony Brook University hosted a grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting on May 13 at its location across from the Administration Building on the Stony Brook University campus. Festivities included a ribbon-cutting ceremony; brief remarks by Barbara Chernow, Stony Brook University Senior Vice President for Administration; Robert Frey, Stony Brook Research Professor and the Director of the Program in Quantitative Finance in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics and the president and CEO of Harbor Construction Management, the company that developed the property; and, Frank Toner, COO of Harbor Construction Management, who also is a Stony Brook alumnus.
"Robert Frey's vision, dedication and perseverance accomplished what many others could not," said Stony Brook President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., M.D., who was unable to attend the event. "He needed no explanation as to why a hotel is so important at a public flagship institution. And it did not take him long to identify the right set of partners: A quality franchise in the Hilton Garden Inn; Crescent Hotels as the management company; and, an outstanding head of the hotel construction project, Frank Toner."
During Dr. Frey's remarks, he took time out to present Toner with an award to commemorate his efforts in the construction of the hotel. After the ceremony, guests were invited to tour the hotel and sample food from area restaurants and bakeries.
"The concept of a campus hotel has been more than 20 years and three University Presidents in the making, and now that important dream has become reality," said Sr. Vice President Chernow. "I am thrilled that such an important dream has now become reality under President Stanley's leadership."
The 135-room Hilton Garden Inn at Stony Brook is located at the entrance to the Stony Brook University campus, across the street from Stony Brook University Hospital, the Long Island State Veteran's Home and Stony Brook Children's Hospital. It is operated and managed by Crescent Hotels and Resorts.
With more than 500 events and activities occurring on campus each year, including the Stony Brook Film Festival, Parents and Family Weekend, Homecoming Weekend/Wolfstock, commencement and convocation ceremonies, conferences, symposiums, dignitary visits and major athletic events, the new hotel provides a very convenient and attractive location for visitors and participants to stay while here.
Families throughout Long Island and others coming from long distances to obtain the outstanding health care services provided by Stony Brook Medicine will find the on-campus hotel a welcome addition. It will also provide the same outstanding range of amenities to visiting professors, prospective students, job applicants, athletic teams, performers and vendors.
"None of this could have happened without Dr. Robert Frey, whose dedication to Stony Brook seems boundless." said Chernow. "Robert's vision, dedication and perseverance accomplished what many others could not."
Hotel amenities include a glass-enclosed Pavilion lobby featuring a comfortable lounge area with a television and fireplace; a 32" LCD HDTV in every room; an in-room "hospitality center" with a mini fridge, microwave oven and coffee maker; a sitting area with an easy chair and ottoman; a hairdryer; and an iron and ironing board. The hotel's recreational facilities consist of a fitness center with state-of-the-art cardiovascular and strength training equipment, as well as a swimming pool and hot tub.
The hotel also includes over 3,800 square feet of flexible space and an on-site guest laundry facility. The ballroom space can host up to 225 people for a seated dinner and up to 300 for a reception.

The GWCA serves as a committee appointed by the Live Oak County Commissioner's Court as set out in the deed by Mr. George West. Anyone who has lived in George West or in Live Oak County and claims George West as home may be buried in the George West Cemetery free of charge. A family may reserve five plots per family by calling Lamon Bennett.
In 2010, the GWCA in association with Unify to Beautify has undertaken a fund raising project to build a new entrance to the cemetery. This project has been deemed the Gateway the Cemetery project. An anonymous donor agreed to match donations up to $25,000. To date, 72 donors has given $12,912 toward this goal.
If you would like to make a donation to the "Gateway to the George West Cemetery" project, please send your donation to the Unify to Beautify in George West, P. O. Box 221, George West, TX 78022 in the name of the Unify to Beautify for the "George West Cemetery Gateway Project." Donations and memorials to named loved ones will be acknowledged for tax purposes.
The GWCA also has moved forward to mark plots in the new section of the cemetery. Lamon Bennett, Larry Holm, Redgy Sullivan, and Jim Warren marked twenty-four plots with section numbers. Each plot contains ten burial plots for a total for 240 more burial sites. Bennett reported that 41 burials were recorded in the last 12 months.
The GWCA records are now on an Excel spread sheet and may be arranged by plot, surname, first name, date of birth or date of death. A USB port with this information is available to view or print at the Live Oak County Library in George West.
Those who wish to donate to the GWCA in memory of a loved one may send their check payable to George West Cemetery Association Memorial Fund, Attn. Mrs. Elaine Bennett, P. O. Box 457, George West, TX 78022.
Donations to the maintenance fund that is used to mow the grass, clear limbs, remove debris, and maintain the water well may be sent to Mrs. Pauline Word, P. O. Box 262, George West, TX 78022.

The Koffeeklatch one day recently got into a heated agrument relating to the lucky fellow who won the big Texas Lottery - you know, the guy from here in Amarillo.
The story on Page 1 which first broke the news and said an "elderly" man had purchased the winning ticket.
Our agruments centered not on who had won the big prize, but what was considered "elderly."
It all depends on where you are looking from as to who is elderly.
Our bets that day centered around the age of the clerk who sold the ticket. If he or she was in his or her 20s, "elderly" may be considered anyone in his or her 40s.
If the clerk was younger, gosh, an elderly person may well be someone still in his or her late 20s or perhaps into the mid-30s.
However, should the clerk be in his or her 40s, well, the winner could easily have been in his or her late 50s or mid-60s.
As it turned out, the "elderly" winner was 67.
I reckon we "elderly" folks just have to remember where we have come from when talking about or describing events of earlier years.
The late Ben Ezzell, publisher-owner-editor of the Canadian Record, told the following story years ago at a Panhandle Press Convention.
A young resident of the Canadian region had been killed in an auto accident and Ben was calling the obituary into the Amarillo Globe-News.
He had given most of the obit facts, then added that the young man had been preceded in death by an older brother who had been killed during World War II.
The brother had been a crew member of a Flying Fortress which had been shot down over Germany in the late stages of that war.
Ben said when he said "Flying Fortress" over the telephone, the line went silent. "I knew then," Ben related, "I was talking to a very young reporter on the other end."
"Sure enough, Ben added, "the reporter asked me 'What is a Flying Fortress?"'
Ben explained that a Flying Fortress was a large four-engine bomber used during the time period by the U.S. Air Force.
I'll bet today if you asked a dozen young folks about Flying Fortresses they would think you had lost your marbles. Maybe one, not more than two, would know what you were talking about.
A case in point.
Do you realize the large majority of young people who entered college this year were born in 1980? This group of young folks has an altogether different outlook and sense of history than we "elderly" people do.
For instance, you and I may say "You sound like a broken record."
The key word here is "record."
They may have heard of an 8-track tape but probably have never seen one.
Most of them have probably never seen a TV with only 13 channels, and a black-and-white set is one which needs to go to the shop. Do you reckon they would be able to function without a remote control?
By the same token, take a look at you and me. When was the last time you laid on the floor to watch TV? My gosh, if I did that, I might never get to my feet again!
Most of this year's college freshmen class were only 11 years old when the Soviet Union broke up, and they may think the Cold War is a runaway icebox.
Oops - I said "icebox." There I go, telling my age again!

After weeks of anticipation, the NFL finally revealed its new uniforms and accessories from Nike. The NFL had a good partnership with Reebok for the past several years after a fiasco with Puma, but it was time to move on and Nike proved why it continues to be the leader in sports apparel.
While some teams made sweeping changes to their jerseys, other remain largely the same, but all of them have a different look in some respect thanks to Nike's sleek design. There is no denying that they have a newer and more modern look than Reebok's jerseys, and that already has fans excited.
Nike has done some interesting things with uniforms in college football already, and whether you love them or hate them, there is no question that the new NFL jerseys are quite innovative. Not only will they provide players with a new, streamline look, but they will do the same for fans as well.
Not everyone is going to understand the excitement over uniforms, but the look of a team has a lot to do with its identity and the way fans relate to them. These uniforms represent the way your favorite team will look when they step on the field to open the 2012 season, and that makes them relevant.
Here are my grades for each and every new Nike uniform following today's unveiling.

Louis Susman, a Democratic advisor, fundraiser, lawyer and banker who is outgoing ambassador to the U.K., has been named non-executive chairman of DJE Holdings, the parent company of Edelman.
Susman fills a role the company vowed to create following the passing of chairman Dan Edelman in January. He will provide counsel to president, CEO and chairman Richard Edelman as well as the firm's global leadership team, in addition to business development duties."I needed a person to be my boss," Edelman told O'Dwyer's. "I had my dad for 35 years."
Susman, who announced in November that he'd step down from the U.K. post this spring, was a senior advisor and key fundraiser to President Obama's 2008 White House bid and a national finance chairman for John Kerry's 2004 campaign.He was a managing director with Citigroup and Salomon Brothers after practicing law for nearly 30 years. He was tapped by Obama for the ambassadorship to the Court of St. James in 2009.
He was on President Ronald Reagan's U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy.

Playing with DS-5 CE and BeagleBone BlackPosted by stephentheobald in Software Development Tools on 25-Apr-2013 17:23:54
The ARM® Development Studio 5 (DS-5™) Community Edition (CE) has been extended to support the community of ARM Embedded Linux users, and it now works on Apple Mac hosts too! DS-5 Community Edition is available as a free download from ARM, and enables you to create, compile, debug and profile Linux applications quickly and easily, whilst retaining its debug and profiling capabilities for Android™ native application developers too.
DS-5 Community Edition running on Apple MacBook, connected to BeagleBone Black
In this blog, I'll show how to debug and profile the Open Source "Xaos" fractal rendering application running under Linux on the new BeagleBone Black using DS-5 Debugger, and how to profile the system using the ARM Streamline™ performance analyzer. BeagleBone Black is based on an ARM Cortex®-A8 Sitara AM3359 processor running at 1GHz, with 512MB DDR3 RAM.
BeagleBone Black, close-up
Of course, DS-5 Debugger and Streamline can also be used to debug and profile your own Linux or Android applications on other ARM processor-based platforms in a similar way. This blog is not intended to be a detailed tutorial, but just an overview of the main steps needed to debug a Linux application.
Setting Up
To get started, first download DS-5 Community Edition from ARM and install it on your host machine (Windows PC, Linux box, or Apple Mac). On start-up, enter the Activation Code to license DS-5 CE - this will give you access to all the DS-5 CE components. Alternatively, if you already have Eclipse installed, you can download and install the DS-5 Debugger and Streamline plug-ins from the Eclipse Update Site, and on start-up, you'll be prompted to install a DS-5 CE license. In either case, if you want, you can purchase a license upgrade later that enables even more features.
Next, prepare your ARM processor-based Linux target platform. Consult the Getting Started instructions for BeagleBone Black. Other detailed instructions are available elsewhere on how to build a kernel and setup a filesystem for BeagleBone Black "" we chose Ubuntu 12.10. To allow Linux application debug, you'll need to ensure gdbserver is present on the Linux target (apt-get install gdbserver). DS-5 CE comes with Remote System Explorer that allows you to easily copy files between your host PC and the Linux target. To use RSE, the ssh daemon (sshd) must be running on the Linux target. For file transfer, RSE makes use of sftp-server, so that must be present on the Linux target too. To profile your application with Streamline, you must build gatord and gator.ko alongside the kernel in the usual way. To run a graphics-intensive application like Xaos, you may also need to apt-get some graphics libraries such as gtk, cairo, pango, glib.
Next build your application. We used the Open Source "Xaos" fractal rendering application. This is provided within the Examples supplied with DS-5 or can alternatively the sources can be downloaded from SourceForge. For best performance on BeagleBone Black, we built Xaos for hardware floating-point, to match the Ubuntu 12.10 hardware floating-point file system. We also built Xaos multi-threaded, to demonstrate DS-5's support for debug and analysis of multi-threaded apps.
Debugging the Linux Application
We'll be debugging this Linux application via gdbserver. The simplest way to establish an application debug connection to the BeagleBone Black is to set up a Linux/SSH connection with "Remote System Explorer" (RSE), then create a debug launch configuration that uses that RSE connection.
In the Remote Systems tab, create a New connection. Select "Linux" [Next], enter the IP Address, and name it (e.g. "My BeagleBone Black") [Next], select "ssh.files" [Finish]. When you first try to connect to the target, RSE will ask you to enter the User ID and Password. The Properties for the connection will end-up looking something like:
Following a successful RSE connection, you can drill down into the remote target's file system in Eclipse, and drag'n'drop any needed files from host to target:
To create a debug launch configuration that uses that RSE connection, select Run -> Debug Configurations..., then create a New configuration named, for example, "xaos-gdbserver-example".
In the Connection tab's target tree view, select Linux Application Debug -> Application Debug -> Download and debug application. It will automatically use the RSE connection made earlier by default:
In the Files tab, enter the stripped executable to download, and the location of the unstripped executable containing the debug information to allow debug at source level:
Finally, click on Debug. DS-5 Debugger will download the stripped executable onto the target via RSE, start gdbserver on the target, read the debug information from the unstripped executable, and run to a breakpoint at main(). You can then view the source, run, stop, single-step, set breakpoints, set watchpoints, view registers, view variables, view disassembly, view memory, view symbols, view the stack backtrace for each thread, and so on.
(click to enlarge)
To view the graphical output from Xaos, we didn't have an LCD screen connected to the BeagleBone Black, but could redirect the graphical screen output to the XQuartz X server instead, by setting e.g. "export DISPLAY=[host IP address]:0.0" in the Environment tab of the Debug Configurations dialog:
Profiling the Linux Application
Streamline is ARM's performance analyzer, for profiling the behaviour of individual applications within whole Linux and Android systems. To analyse the performance of the Xaos application, we simply need to start the application running, then point Streamline at it, to capture analysis data.
In the Streamline tab, first enter the IP address of the target:
Then click on the Capture & Analysis Options button, and add the location of the unstripped executable from which to read debug information, then press Save.
It is also possible here to select the use of ARM's low-cost Energy Probe that can be used to correlate target activity with energy usage on up to three power rails simultaneously.
Then click on the Counter Configurations button, and select the target's hardware counters and kernel's events that you want to track, then press Save.
The list of available counters and events is dependent on the target ARM processor, the kernel in use, and the DS-5 licence in use.
Finally, start the application running and click on the Capture button to start capturing. Streamline's Live View (new in DS-5 v5.14) immediately shows you the data coming from the BeagleBone Black in real time. Once you have captured activity over a sufficient length of time, stop the capture, and Streamline will generate an analysis report, starting with the Timeline:
(click to enlarge)
Here, we can see the workload of each thread within Xaos, together with their interaction with the Linux scheduler and other parts of the system, augmented by Streamline's textual and visual annotation feature. In this example, Streamline is showing an intense period of activity by all five Xaos threads (bottom centre of this view), where the first set of calculations are made before the first Mandelbrot graphics frame is displayed, followed by regular bursts before each subsequent frame.
Clicking on the Functions tab then reveals the contribution of individual functions. Here we can see that calculate() is the function within Xaos that consumes most time:
In the full-featured version with the upgraded license, we could see more detail, for example, which lines in the source code / assembler were taking the most execution time.
To summarize, we have seen how the features of DS-5 Debugger and Streamline make it easy to debug and profile Linux-based systems, and how these can be deployed successfully on latest low-cost development boards such as the BeagleBone Black.
Below is a video that introduces the new features in the ARM DS-5 toolchain version 5.14 including ARM big.LITTLE™ Processing support, improved compiler, multi-core debugger and trace synchronization, power and temperature monitoring and much more...

The Chicago Bulls don't have that much money to work with during the 2012 NBA free-agency period, so they have to look at mostly second-tier players to help them strengthen their squad for next year.
Large contracts to Derrick Rose, Carlos Boozer, Joakim Noah and Luol Deng will have the Bulls struggling to stay below the luxury tax threshold. And knowing Bulls chairman Jerry Reinsdorf doesn't like to break the bank, lesser free-agent signings will be made.
The Bulls need to make decisions on whether to keep Kyle Korver, Ronnie Brewer, Omer Asik and C.J. Watson, which will effect who they go after in free agency.
Here is a list of the top 10 players that the Bulls should pursue in NBA free agency.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled this afternoon for an Indiana man who is facing five felony counts of child pornography.
24-year-old Omar Mohammed Alghamdi was arrested December 13th after county detectives received a complaint of inappropriate contact between him and a child via a mobile application. A search warrant was executed on his Essex House apartment on Oakland Avenue and a computer, a mobile phone, and various file storage devices were seized. Analysis of the equipment found images of children as young as age 6 performing sexual acts on an adult male.
The illegal activity dates back to 2011. Alghamdi is free on $50,000 unsecured bond and is due before District Judge George Thachik at 1:15 this afternoon.

What is in this article?:
- 'A fine report card' for cotton checkoff investment
- Challenges and opportunities
As a result of the research and promotion efforts of Cotton Incorporated, "More consumers believe cotton and cotton blends are best suited for today's fashions than another fabric," says Bill Gillon, president and CEO of the Cotton Board. "Natural fibers, such as cotton, are perceived as being of a better quality than non-natural fibers. Ninety percent of consumers believe cotton is safe for the environment, and significantly, you own one of the most trusted, widely respected, and well-known brands in the world: the Seal of Cotton. "
Challenges and opportunities
The leaders guiding today's program and investing checkoff dollars "are forward-thinking individuals, who are anticipating upcoming challenges and opportunities for our industry."
As an example of recent challenges, he cites the performance apparel company, Under Armour, which had dubbed "cotton as the enemy," but when they introduced a new line of Charged-Cotton apparel based on research by Cotton Incorporated, "consumers flocked to their products and they posted amazing revenue gains. Thanks to Cotton Incorporated, cotton is now a major player in the performance apparel market."
On another front, last November, Gillon says, the Heritage Foundation, a Washington think tank, "started a firestorm when they opposed what they dubbed 'Obama's Christmas tree tax.'
"When it was pointed out that there was no tax — just an effort by Christmas tree growers to compete with imported, artificial trees through a new research and promotion program — the attack spread to all other checkoff programs, with the argument that government/private partnerships don't work and should never be supported.
"Within two weeks a senator from South Carolina, which produces a significant amount of cotton, introduced an amendment to eliminate all research and promotion programs — and the cotton program was first on the list."
It was "sad," Gillon says, that what cotton industry leaders worked so hard to construct could "so quickly and foolishly be thrown on the trash heap in the name of political expediency.
"I was taught not to throw out the baby with the bath water, and I'm concerned when politicians argue forcefully to overnight throw away strong, successful programs like the Cotton Research and Promotion Program, which is a model of effectiveness."
The program "has given back economic returns many times over" from the dollars invested, Gillon says.
"I encourage everyone in the industry to remain sensitive to the vision that led to the creation of this and other checkoff programs, and to remain involved in your local cotton organizations so you can take advantage of your ownership of this program and help to steer the course for cotton.
"We should never forget what it took to get us here. We should be diligent and honest about the challenges we face, and we should continue to work collectively and cooperatively to secure our industry's future."
