The long-awaited end of President George W. Bush's tragic Iraq War is finally here. For nine long years, Americans have fought, suffered and died in what history will surely call one of the most ignorant and unjust wars the U.S. has ever launched. To hear President Obama this week, you'd think we actually won something. But the grim truth is that we won nothing. The Iraq War was an unmitigated disaster that has seriously diminished our standing in the world and contributed significantly to our economic woes at home. The rhetoric and chest pounding is thick at war's end, but the reality cannot and never will be anything but another sad failure for America's ongoing imperialist foreign policy.
Perhaps it is understandable that President Obama, in his role as commander-in-chief of America's armed forces, can, with a straight face and serious demeanor, claim that we leave Iraq "with our honor intact and our heads held high."
But I guess that would depend on who "we" is. It certainly isn't the American people, of which two-thirds have opposed the war since well before Obama took office. Nor would it be the Iraqi people, who have suffered grievous losses at our hands. Although Gen. Tommy Franks, who was once in charge of the Iraq debacle, proudly proclaimed "We don't do body counts," there are plenty of others who did keep track of the carnage we caused. Just Foreign Policy, using data compiled by the respected British medical journal The Lancet, estimates the Iraqi death count to be well over a million people. A million dead is the equivalent of every man, woman and child in Montana killed in less than a decade. Tough to see where the honor is in that.
Nor did those who served in this useless war escape unscathed. Nearly 4,500 men and women who went to Iraq did not come back alive. While the Pentagon estimates 32,000 service members were wounded, that number is dwarfed by the 320,000 who suffered brain injuries there. These are the veterans who the Pentagon only recently decided had actually been injured—and who will suffer and wrestle with personal demons throughout their lives thanks to Operation Iraqi Freedom.
And then there's the mind-numbing cost of the war. According to a recent article in the Christian Science Monitor, the cost of waging the war is more than $800 billion, which, as they put it, comes out to "nearly $3,000 a second." While that enormous expenditure cannot be justified by the outcome, it is a pittance compared to the estimated $4 to $6 trillion that Harvard and Columbia University economists say it will cost to deal with the aftermath of the war in long-term veterans' care, weapons and vehicle replacements, etc. President George W. Bush and the Pentagon initially estimated the cost of the Iraq War at $50 to $60 billion, a number that, in retrospect, didn't even cover one year of the war's costs, let alone consider the post-war tally.
Unfortunately, there's no real way to measure what the Iraq War (and the ongoing Afghanistan War) has cost our country in terms of international respect. After 9/11, America took a hard right turn on virtually every aspect of both domestic and foreign policy. Frightened nearly to death by the collapse of the Twin Towers, the strike on the Pentagon and a couple envelopes of white powder in the mail, Congress and the White House embarked upon a rapid unwinding of constitutional rights while cranking up the police-state mentality to the max.
Suddenly, spying on American citizens by their own government was acceptable. Formerly secure in their right to privacy, Americans soon discovered that virtually every aspect of their lives was now subject to government inspection. The few entities that refused to cooperate with the federal government in releasing the phone, credit card or even library records of everyday citizens found themselves threatened by the government. And like the good little sheep we have become, far too many Americans stood silently by while their rights were eroded by the security tsunami emanating from Washington, D.C.
In the country once believed to hold high the torch of freedom, our Statue of Liberty proclaims: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" But no longer. Now visitors to our country can expect a harsh "security" shakedown when stepping onto America's once-fabled shores. The "golden door" no longer stands open and welcoming, especially for the "wretched refuse" of foreign lands. It's so bad that even the Canadians, our great friends and allies for two centuries, are deemed a threat to our "porous Northern border" and are treated with suspicion and mistrust.
So what did we really get out of the Iraq War? Well, if you believe President Obama, "we have now achieved an Iraq that is self-governing, that is inclusive and that has enormous potential." That "potential," however, is exactly the same reason Bush got us into the war in the first place. As the Washington Post put it this week, President Obama and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki will now "focus instead on what's next—a relationship both leaders described as rich in shared interests, from education to oil, politics to security."
The key word here, as former Halliburton CEO and Bush's Vice President Dick Cheney might say, is "oil." Halliburton made billions as a war contractor. It will make billions more exploiting Iraq's oil reserves. We paid the tab in human tragedy and costs, but Halliburton gets the reward.
If anything good can come from the Iraq War, one would hope that America has learned a lesson in the stupidity of imperialist foreign policy. In 2002, then-Sen. Obama called Iraq "a dumb war." He was right then and ought to quit whitewashing our Iraqi debacle now.

Thaw 2 loaves of Rhodes bread. Press together and roll into a 12 x 18" rectangle.
Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies in a plastic bag using a rolling pin. Melt the butter in a saucepan on the stove top or in the microwave in a small dish. Spread the melted butter onto half of the dough and sprinkle with the cookie crumbs.
Fold the dough over to cover the cookie crumbs and slice into 16 equal strips. As you pick up each strip, twist it and set it on a greased baking sheet. Allow to rise 30 minutes.
Bake at 350° for about 25 minutes or until golden. Allow to cool about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the icing by combining the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle over the baked twists. Serve while still warm with a glass of cold milk!

Despite a profitable underwriting year for the P&C sector, and the prediction of another quiet hurricane season, re/insurers must not become complacent, and must plan for future large scale events. Intelligent Insurer investigates.
More than 20 years on from the destruction caused by Hurricane Andrew, which ripped through Florida in 1992, killing more than 60 people and causing insured losses of $17 billion, the US property/casualty (P&C) sector is enjoying the rewards of a more benign period for such large scale storms and losses.
According to analysis by ISO, part of Verisk Analytics, and the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI), a significant absence of hurricanes in 2013 left the sector with an increase in underwriting profit for the first time since 2007.
Verisk says that the sector's net underwriting gains increased to $15.5 billion from $15.4 billion in 2012, while the sector's combined ratio dropped to 96.1 percent from 102.9 percent the previous year. Net income after taxes grew to $63.8 billion in 2013 compared with $35.1 billion in 2012.

Because we don't speak Portugese, we didn't have much of an input, and it was agreed by everyone else that we'd be picked up at 7.30am.

The bed was fairly uncomfortable as there was a big dip in the middle but I was able to ...

We have visited several of the more than thirty Buddhist temples here in Luang Probang, Laos. I was going to feature some of what I had learned about the many variations of Buddhism in this entry.

Hi Darlene, Put the other twist on it and realize you probably aren't using trans-fats (check the label for hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated). I'd much prefer real lard any day! As much as fat has taken a hard rap the past couple of decades, the percentage of overweight and obese US citizens has increased greatly. If you want to look at this from a health standpoint, studies are now conflicting on whether or not saturated fat is bad for you but all do agree that trans-fats are bad. If you're looking at wanting to offer 'healthier' options, be sure to have some tasty veggies and salads. Consider offering these as optional sides instead of fries. Serve water to all customers --so many restaurants don't anymore-- and realize the rest is up to the customer. ~ Linda
I like a blend of corn and canola. I never cook over 375 degrees. I strain it and change it often. I deep-fry as few things as possible.
Peanut oil is the best. Just ask Chic-fil-A. The only problem is that some people are allergic to peanuts. They don't seem to lose business because of it. Everything seems to taste better in peanut oil. I sometimes use Canola Oil but the quality is sometimes questionable. The last two times I received oil that was hardening. Maybe something was added but not listed.
hi Darlene: I've been using Sysco's Fry-On since I opened my restaurant 2 years ago. I really like this product (corn and canola combination). We initially did a taste comparison test with several fryer products (fries and the like) with different oils and the fry-on fried products were chosen every time. I find that there is no flavour transfers and the it has a great life. I mean, I'll think that the oil should be changed (based on length of time of use) but when I do the "dropper test" (sysco provides) it usually is not ready for a change. YMMV cheers Andrea

Four robotics visionaries honored
During the International Robots & Vision Show in suburban Chicago, four visionaries were recognized for significantly advancing robot technology and systems in their respective fields. The Engelberger Robotics Awards recognize significant achievements in the areas of leadership, application, education, and technology development.
Rosemont, IL —During the International Robots & Vision Show in suburban Chicago, four visionaries were recognized for significantly advancing robot technology and systems in their respective fields. The Engelberger Robotics Awards recognize significant achievements in the areas of leadership, application, education, and technology development. They are named after Joseph F. Engelberger, the "father of robotics." The 2007 winners are David Lavery from NASA, Harvey Castner from Edison Welding Institute, Ms. Bala Krishnamurthy of Aeolean Inc. (the first female recipient), and Martin Hägele, a department head in Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA. Since its inception in 1977, the award has been presented to 105 innovative individuals from 16 countries. Each recipient was presented the award by Robotic Industries Association (RIA) president Trevor Jones and RIA executive vice president Donald Vincent. They "have left their mark on robotics and the industry," said Vincent. "RIA is pleased to recognize these four international leaders with the prestigious Engelberger Robotics Awards."
The winner in the leadership category is David Lavery, program executive for Solar System Exploration at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) inWashington, DC. For over a decade, Lavery led the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Telerobotics Technology Development Program, with responsibility for content and direction of robotics and planetary exploration research efforts. Under his leadership the program was transformed into a world-class robotics technology and systems development program impacting NASA flight programs, other government robotics projects, and the entire robotics industry. Among the major products of Lavery's research program were the Sojourner Mars rover; a free-flying robotic camera used on the Space Shuttle; Dante I and II robotic volcano explorers; and the National Robotics Engineering Consortium (NREC), a group formed to transfer robotic technologies developed by NASA into the commercial robotics industry. Lavery's current professional commitment and involvement includes the creation of the NASA Robotics Alliance Project (RAP) to inspire K-12 students in robotics, a Fellow of the National User Group Advisory Council and the KISS Institute for Practical Robotics, and National Executive Advisory Board member of FIRST Robotics.
In the application category, the winner is Harvey Castner, vice president, Government Programs Office, Edison Welding Institute (EWI), Columbus, OH. Castner's pioneering work in the early 1980s led to the application of first-generation industrial robots to arc welding tasks for the manufacture of agricultural products and heavy equipment. Castner serves as Director of the Navy Joining Center (NJC), a Navy Manufacturing Technology (MANTECH) Center of Excellence at EWI, and is responsible for the development and administration of R&D programs for the U.S. Navy, Department of Defense, and other government agencies.
The award for Technology Development went to Ms. Bala Krishnamurthy, founder and chief executive officer of Aeolean Inc., in Ridgefield, CT. For more than 25 years, Krishnamurthy has been designing and developing a wide range of software in programming languages, networked systems, and related technologies that have contributed to the growth of robotics. From her early days at Unimation Inc., she was a pioneer in the field of electric and hydraulic industrial robots. She adapted the VAL language designed for the electric PUMA robot to the hydraulic Unimate robot, and led the software design and development effort on Unimation's third generation UNIVAL controller. From the mid-1980s to the mid-'90s, she led the team that developed the software for autonomous courier robots that can navigate throughout hospitals, a mobile research base, and a 3D range sensor at HelpMate Robotics Incorporated. She also designed algorithms for multi-robot coordination and control and supervisory control for a 21-axis Robotic Transmission Line Rover developed for the Tennessee Valley Authority. She is the first female recipient of an Engelberger Robotics Award.
In the education category, the winner is Martin Hägele, head of the Department of Robot Systems at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA in Stuttgart, Germany. Inspired by the book "Robots in Service" written by Joseph Engelberger, Hägele led the German study on the market potentials and challenges of service robots. He was the project lead and supervisor of numerous outstanding service robot developments, including a fuel-refilling robot resulting in a fully operational gas station and several generations of mobile robots developed for museums, shopping centers, and home applications. He is currently leader of a large-scale European initiative for the creation of a new family of Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME)-suitable robots. He has published more than 80 papers and book chapters, holds four patents and is editor of the journal Robotics and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing.
Joseph F. Engelberger, the award's namesake, said of the 2007 award winners, "This year's award recipients have made outstanding contributions that have increased the use of robotics worldwide.

00:18 10th February 2010
The two sides are out on the pitch and are greeted by a full house. The Town are in their orange shirts, white shorts and socks while Oxford are in white shirts and navy blue shorts and socks.
Andrew Barringer: 2-0 Luton. Mark Wood: 3-1 Luton. James Cunliffe: 2-2 draw. Alec Swann: 1-0 Luton. Euan Duncan: 3-1 Luton. Ian Pearce: 2-0 Luton.
Ten minutes to kick-off, the ground is almost full and we're almost...almost set. The atmosphere is building. COYH!
Sixteen years ago, on Tuesday 6th February 1994, the Hatters beat Newcastle United 2-0 in an FA Cup fourth round replay. John Hartson and Scott Oakes were on target in a famous cup victory on a night of high drama under the Kenilworth Road floodlights. Good times.
The team news from the Kenilworth Road dressing rooms have reached us, and Town boss Richard Money makes one change to the side that won 1-0 at Barrow on Saturday.
Claude Gnakpa came off with a knock at the weekend and hasn't recovered sufficient enough so in comes Rossi Jarvis to the Hatters' XI. The Frenchman does make the substitutes' bench, however, as does Matthew Barnes-Homer who has overcome illness.
Hatters: Tyler, Keane, Kovacs, Pilkington, Newton, Nicholls, Hatch, Craddock, Hall, Jarvis, Murray.
Substitutes: Gore, Howells, Gnakpa, Nelthorpe, Barnes-Homer.
Oxford United: Clarke, Batt, Bulman, Hargreaves, Midson, Clist, Wright, Potter, Day, Tonkin, Deering.
Substitutes: Turley, Creighton, Chapman, F. Green, M. Green.
Andy Dawkins: "Born and bred in Dunstable, a season ticket holder, forced to relocate to Stoke by the Mrs, glad she's got the evening at work so I can listen to this game. Desperate for a performance from the lads out there, got my Hatters shirt on to try and cheer them on from here. I'm going for a 2-1 win, Hatch and Keane to score. There'll be goals, hopefully to us. Will be missing the atmosphere at the Kenny terribly, but will hope to pick it up from the radio. Come on you Hatters!"
Tom Skinner, via Facebook: "What are the chances of another 7-4 goalfest between these sides then?! Come on you Hatters!"
One hour and 14 minutes to kick-off and more and more people are gathering outside the turnstiles before the ground opens. Behind the scenes club staff are coolness personified as they get ready to deal with 9,000 fans inside Kenilworth Road. Meanwhile, those famous floodlights are charging up...
Ian Woodman: 2-1 Hatters.
Joe Smith: 1-0 Luton, Claude to score.
Just stepping pitchside to take one last look of an empty Kenilworth Road before it fills up, it's noticable how cold it is how there. It's absolutely freezing. The groundstaff have just left one last cover off of the turf to protect the Kenny End goalmouth from the cold.
If you're coming to the game: please wrap up warm. If you need those hats, gloves and scarves then your first port of call should be the club shop. Check out what's on offer by visiting www.hattersshop.co.uk.
We've received not one but two emails from across the Atlantic from Town fans in America and Canada.
Graham Cowling writes: "Thanks for the your email and fantastic portal to be more engaged in the game build-up. Born in Luton, I have always been a Hatters fan. To my knowledge, a lone Hatters fan in Denver, Colorado?
"I will be very happy for the Hatters to keep a clean sheet!"
Richard Mulley, from Toronto, Canada, says: "I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for the boys....I'm going 2-1 Luton. Shout out to my brother Paul who'll be there tonight."
Tracy Ring: Luton 3-0 Oxford. Tracy is too nervous to switch on the Hatters Player commentary tonight!
Andrew Mower: "I'm going for 2-0 Town, with Hatch and Asa Hall getting on the scoresheet. With super Mark Tyler back in goal and their top scorer suspended we can't concede!"
We've had an email through from Richard Cahill who is wondering whether or not to wear his Luton shirt this evening. He wants to, in a show of support for the club he loves, but the trouble is we've lost every time he's worn it...A pretty tough dilemma to be faced with ahead of such a crucial game this evening.
It begs the question, how many of you are you superstituous? And if so, what kind of pre-match ritual or routine do go through prior to watching the Town? Email us on the address above.
Plenty of positive predictions from the Hatters fans on Facebook...Strikers Liam Hatch and Tom Craddock are fancied to score tonight by the looks of it. The pair are both 13/2 chances to score the first or last goal this evening and 2/1 to do so at any time with our betting partner bet365.
Shaun Hockham: Luton 3-1 Oxford - Craddock to score twice.
Oli Elkington: Luton 2-1 Oxford - Hatch and Craddock.
Mark James: 1-1 - Barnes-Homer.
Aaron Jarman: 1-0 to Luton - Keano the hero.
Petey Staniforth: My seven-year-old daughter's calling a 2-1 win for us - I'm going with that. And Tommy Craddock to get at least one of them.
Andy Brett: Luton 3-0 Oxford - Two from Hatch and one from Craddock.
Louise Bloxham: 4-1 Luton.
Matt Bailey: 0-0.
Games don't come much bigger than this.
In September over 10,000 people crammed into the Kassam Stadium and tonight just under that will click through the Kenilworth Road turnstiles for the most eagerly anticipated fixture of the season.
Two former League Cup winners, who have both have both played in the top flight, go head-to-head in the Blue Square Premier.
It seems a far cry from the heady days of Division One.
But that will be put to one side this evening in one of the biggest matches the BSP has ever seen.
The Town - pre-season title favourites - against Chris Wilder's Oxford - the league leaders.
It might only be three o'clock in the afternoon but there is a right buzz around the ground...In just under five hours time the old ground will be jumping.
Let's hope by 9.30 that's still the case.
Remember, just under 9,000 people will be at Kenilworth Road tonight but if for whatever reason you can't make the match then we'll have all the goals and incidents as it happens live with the usual news in the run-up to kick-off with team line-ups and plenty of chat as your official website has, as ever, all the usual updates keeping you bang up-to-date with all the action - and in a number of ways.
There's none of those boring ball-by-ball "defensive thrown-in taken by Luton left-back" updates as we continue to try and bring you an updated and detailed text commentary. This is a great way to keep in touch and has been popular to those supporters not able to get to a computer or a radio as the service is also available and is updated live on our WAP site.
On Hatters Player you all have access to our live commentary. Remember, Player is available as ever which means you all have access to our live commentary. If you haven't heard it yet then where you have been? It's brought to you by Simon "Statto" Pitts - who is quickly making a name for himself with commentary that is the envy of all the competition. Once again he'll be sitting high above the rest of us in the haven of the gantry with the best view in the house to call home the shots.
Of course after the action has finished, Hatters Player will have all the post-match interviews from all the men that matter tonight.
Whether on Hatters Player or not, we'll have plenty of content to keep you interested as we'll have all of the post-match reaction as well as match action from Gareth Owen to follow after the final whistle. Be sure to check out www.hatterspics.co.uk - our brand new online image library.

DatDude is a beast!
Mets announcers applauding BP's defense, wondering why he doesn't win the GG award every year, even though Barney makes fewer errors.
Maybe Reds should borrow the Mets TV announcers for one game. Might get some better press.
Cursh14 (09-23-2013)
Who do you think would protect Joey more over the long hall, Luddy or Bruce?
Why not bat Joey 2nd, Phillips 3rd and Bruce 4th?
This is not the same Luddy as 2012...not even close.
1st pick of the 2022 baseball amateur draft
This is one of those times where no real advantage to keep elevating Harang's pitch count (now 81). He should be at least as much fun for the hitters as anyone coming out of the Mets' pen.
Reds & Nats, 2013 LCS. Take2 (9/13) Reds but no Nats
But keep in mind Ludwick missed four and a half months. The Reds may feel he will get going soon.
You might also note that Ludwick has a 1.056 OPS in his career against Harang including three homers.
And Bruce is hitless tonight
So it's an arguable point which unfortunately hasn't worked out well tonight.

This is the type of game that makes me nervous, and very frustrated. Facing a pitcher
who we should arguably beat up on, and we can't get anything done. At the same time, the opposition is staying close enough to win this game.

Dr Theo Zwanziger, the president of the German Football Association, praised the two assistants and fourth official of Saturday's Bundesliga match between Cologne and Mainz for saving referee Babak Rafati's life.
Rafati was found in the bath of his Cologne hotel room by the officials after he had slit his wrists in an attempt to commit suicide two hours before the game.
Rafati, a banker who had been a referee since 1997, failed to attend a meeting with the other officials prior to the match, so Holger Henschel, Frank Willenborg and Patrick Ittrich knocked on his hotel door but received no answer. With the help of a hotel worker, they gained access to Rafati's room and on finding him slumped in the bath quickly raised the alarm. The referee is now in a stable condition in intensive care.
"Compliments to them [the officials]," said Zwanziger. "These three saved his life. When they discovered him, they ensured that he could survive with emergency measures." The game was called off 40 minutes before kick-off.
Dr Reinhard Rauball, president of the German Football League, said: "I am deeply shocked and I believe that everybody connected with the Bundesliga feels the same way.
"If there was anything to be learnt from the death of [Germany goalkeeper] Robert Enke, then it was that football is not everything in life. Calling off this game was the right decision."
In Spain, Real Madrid maintained their three-point advantage over rivals Barcelona at the top of La Liga after winning 3-2 at Valencia on Saturday. Goals from Karim Benzema, Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo secured the points, the hosts scoring through Roberto Soldado.
Barcelona cruised to a 4-0 home win over Real Zaragoza, with Gerard Piqué, Lionel Messi, Carles Puyol and David Villa on the scoresheet. The Barça coach, Pepe Guardiola, praised Messi for playing through pain after the Argentine forward went down to a strong challenge during the game. "Messi does not complain," Guardiola said. "He said he was fine so I decided he should continue. He gives us many things."Reuse content

A Simple Example void echo() { chin = getchar(); chout = chin; putchar(chout); } A Simple Example: On a Multiprocessor Process P1 . chin = getchar(); . chout = chin; putchar(chout); . . Process P2 . . chin = getchar(); chout = chin; . putchar(chout); . Enforce Single Access • If we enforce a rule that only one process may enter the function at a time then: • P1 & P2 run on separate processors • P1 enters echo first, – P2 tries to enter but is blocked – P2 suspends • P1 completes execution – P2 resumes and executes echo Race Condition • A race condition occurs when – Multiple processes or threads read and write data items – They do so in a way where the final result depends on the order of execution of the processes. • The output depends on who finishes the race last. Operating System Concerns • What design and management issues are raised by the existence of concurrency? • The OS must – Keep track of various processes – Allocate and de-allocate resources – Protect the data and resources against interference by other processes. – Ensure that the processes and outputs are independent of the processing speed Process Interaction Competition among Processes for Resources Three main control problems: • Need for Mutual Exclusion – Critical sections • Deadlock • Starvation Requirements for Mutual Exclusion • Only one process at a time is allowed in the critical section for a resource • A process that halts in its noncritical section must do so without interfering with other processes • No deadlock or starvation Requirements for Mutual Exclusion • A process must not be delayed access to a critical section when there is no other process using it • No assumptions are made about relative process speeds or number of processes • A process remains inside its critical section for a finite time only Roadmap • • • • • • Principals of Concurrency Mutual Exclusion: Hardware Support Semaphores Monitors Message Passing Readers/Writers Problem Disabling Interrupts • Uniprocessors only allow interleaving • Interrupt Disabling – A process runs until it invokes an operating system service or until it is interrupted – Disabling interrupts guarantees mutual exclusion – Will not work in multiprocessor architecture Pseudo-Code while (true) { /* /* /* /* } disable interrupts */; critical section */; enable interrupts */; remainder */; Special Machine Instructions • Compare&Swap Instruction – also called a "compare and exchange instruction" • Exchange Instruction Compare&Swap Instruction int compare_and_swap (int *word, int testval, int newval) { int oldval; oldval = *word; if (oldval == testval) *word = newval; return oldval; } Mutual Exclusion (fig 5.2) Exchange instruction void exchange (int register, int memory) { int temp; temp = memory; memory = register; register = temp; } Exchange Instruction (fig 5.2) Hardware Mutual Exclusion: Advantages • Applicable to any number of processes on either a single processor or multiple processors sharing main memory • It is simple and therefore easy to verify • It can be used to support multiple critical sections Hardware Mutual Exclusion: Disadvantages • Busy-waiting consumes processor time • Starvation is possible when a process leaves a critical section and more than one process is waiting. – Some process could indefinitely be denied access. • Deadlock is possible Roadmap • • • • • • Principals of Concurrency Mutual Exclusion: Hardware Support Semaphores Monitors Message Passing Readers/Writers Problem Semaphore • Semaphore: – An integer value used for signalling among processes. • Only three operations may be performed on a semaphore, all of which are atomic: – initialize, – Decrement (semWait) – increment.

Warne moved up to No2 in the all-time Test bowling table behind Courtney Walsh by claiming four for 44to take his wicket tally to 436.
After finishing off South Africa's first innings for 159 shortly before lunch, the Aussies then skittled them out for 133 the second time around. All in reply to Australia's massive 659 for seven declared.
Victorious captain Steve Waugh said: "It was a great performance. It was certainly a bit easier than expected."
Waugh's team enjoyed a 3-0 home series win over the South Africans earlier in their summer.
England's 1938 humiliation of Australia, when they won by an innings and 579 runs at The Oval, remains the biggest Test win.
Warne finished with match figures of six for 70 from only 21 overs, taking him past Kapil Dev's 434 Test victims.
Australia followed Saturday's batting extravaganza with an exemplary bowling display to end two ineffective innings by the home side.
Adam Gilchrist led the way on Saturday with 204 not out, the quickest double century of all time in balls faced.
"We owe a lot to Gilly," said Waugh. "He's hit five Test centuries and they've all been like that. He's a once-in-a-generation cricketer."
Gilchrist , who won the man of the match award, said: "We finished them off in clinical fashion. I was keen to put on some runs, it's been a while since I got past 50.
"Credit has to go to Matthew Hayden who held it up for us before I came in, but we all played well."
The bowling attack matched him with a clinical performance as they claimed 16 wickets in a day to wrap up the match.
Warne and Glenn McGrath were both in outstanding form, with the leg-spinner setting the tone for the paceman to complete proceedings with a devastating burst. McGrath rounded off victory with a rapid spell of five for 21, which included three wickets in four balls in one over.
Shellshocked stand-in South African captain Mark Boucher could only admit his team had been outclassed. He said: "It's very disappointing to be beaten, but we were beaten by a better team,. They were much better over the three days."
Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh captured four wickets for eight runs as Zimbabwe crashed to an innings and 101 runs defeat in the First Test in Nagpur.
Zimbabwe were skittled out for 182 in their second innings after resuming on 152 for four, requiring 283 runs to avoid an innings defeat.
Any Zimbabwe hopes of salvaging a draw were dashed by Singh, whose devastating spell of 10.4-5-8-4.
Leg-spinner Anil Kumble, who set up the Indian victory with a superb spell on the fourth day, took five for 63 for his 19th fivewicket haul in a Test innings.

Manchester City captain Carlos Tevez has submitted a written transfer request, which the club has rejected.
The 26-year-old Argentina striker is said to be homesick after four years in England.
"The club remains disappointed by this situation and particularly with the actions of Carlos' representative," said a Manchester City statement.
Tevez was suspended on Saturday as City won at West Ham to move level on points with Premier League leaders Arsenal.
He had an angry exchange with manager Roberto Mancini when substituted in the closing moments of his last match against Bolton on 4 December.
The statement continued: "Roberto Mancini and all at the club have shown, and will continue to show, sensitivity to Carlos' personal circumstances including the issue of his family being based overseas.
"Indeed following his suspension as a result of the game against Bolton, Carlos requested, and was given, special dispensation by the manager to take leave overseas.
"The written transfer request is in stark contrast to Carlos' stated position in both public and club contexts.
"Significantly, over recent months, the club has also received numerous requests from Carlos' representative to renegotiate and improve his playing contract as well as more recently a request to extend that contract by another year.
"However, in line with the club's policy of not negotiating playing contracts mid-season this has not been granted.
Carlos' current five-year contract has three-and-a-half years to run and he is the highest paid player at Manchester City Football Club.

Play It Cool And Beat The Heat
Whether your summers are characterized by sizzling heat and hot dry winds or sultry airless days with steamy humidity, there is a very real possibility that your horse could develop "heat stress". A few simple precautions can help your horse beat the heat. People and animals living close to the equator know that the best time to work or hunt is during the cooler morning and late afternoon hours. So arrange to ride or work your horse early or late and give him a siesta during the hottest part of the day. If this is impossible and you have to work your horse during those hot mid day hours, give him a break by not exercising him as strenuously as usual; and let him take frequent rests. Offer small amounts of water periodically. Be sure to walk him for a while after any exercise, so that he cools down slowly. That old phraze "ridden hard and put away wet" is definitely a bad idea!
If your horse resides in a pasture with shaded areas (shadows cast by either trees or buildings) where he can seek shelter at will, and if he has an ample supply of fresh clean water, the risk of heat stress will be greatly reduced. If you keep your horse stabled in a barn, you will have to plan ahead and be pro active in avoiding heat stress by opening doors and windows and perhaps adding barn fans to keep a breeze circulating.
Reduce the risk of heat stress or heat stroke by knowing what signs to look for in your horse. If your horse seems unduly tired or lethargic, is having difficulty breathing, seems weak or listless, is experiencing diarrhea or colic, or shows any other signs of distress, such as rapid heartbeat or not sweating at all; it is time to consider the possiblity that he has become a victim of heat stress.
Take action immediately, since these early signs can rapidly progress to life threatening symptoms. Call your veterinarian ASAP and in the interim, move your horse to a cooler, shady spot, and spray cool water on his feet and legs, gradually moving higher on his body. After your veterinarian examines your horse, he may recommend ice packs applied to areas where large veins surface and may possibly "drench", or administer enemas to the animal in an effort to reduce his body temperature. A horse's rectal temperature is normally around 101 degrees Farenheit, and if the horse's temperature rises to 104 degrees Farenheit for any length of time, this could be deadly.
Common sense measures for beating the heat apply to both you and your horse. So stay out of the intense heat, limit your activities to the cooler hours of the day, and above all; stay hydrated.

Ibis Mojo 3 Carbon XT 1x Complete Mountain Bike 2016
While the Mojo HD3 that we've seen making the World Series rounds for the past couple of seasons was designed for the athletes operating at the tippy top end of the enduro rankings, the Mojo 3 Carbon XT 1x Complete Mountain Bike was designed for everyone else. In the enthusiastic words of Ibis' founder, Scot Nicol, everyone else translates to ME! If you happen to clean the steppiest lines like they're paper smooth fire roads, then you don't need us to tell you that the HD3 is probably the right ride for you, but if your ambitions and local trail furniture aren't all World Series fare, then the Mojo 3 is far more appropriate and fun choice. And when we write fun, we don't mean it's for casuals only. Rather, we mean that our own hyperbolic, expletive laden reactions of pure joy at testing this bike are unprintable here. The Mojo 3 tempers the extremes that make the HD3 so good in apocalyptic terrain in favor of a chassis that's lighter, more agile, and still capable enough to handle everything this side of shuttled gravity loops. The 140mm Pike fork kicks the head tube out to 66. 8 degrees an angle you'll recognize from virtually every six inch enduro bike, ever. Despite that slack front end and the bike's long, low posture, the Boost spacing allowed Ibis to slam the rear wheel up, shortening the chainstays to a stubby 16. 73in while still leaving enough clearance for tires up to 2. 8in in diameter. The benefits of the slack front end, Boost front and rear axles, and short stays add up to dual threat versatility. We call it efficient climbing and line sticking confidence whether dicing terrain or running roughshod over it Ibis calls it playful. The Mojo 3's spirited kick starts with the shock tune and DW Link suspension. Ibis tuned the shock so its initial stroke stays firm off the top but is still plush enough to keep the rear wheel glued across moderate lumps and while navigating switchbacks at climbing speeds. Ibis describes the shock's tuned r...

The Tories and Labour alike were reeling today from a series of defeats at the hands of Ukip in early results from the local council elections.
Nigel Farage's party shrugged off a campaign blighted by revelations about some of its candidates to pick up a succession of seats in Conservative and Labour heartlands.
With just one-third of the local election results declared, it had already exceeded its target of making 80 gains.
Labour's disappointment was tempered by a strong performance in London, where it captured Hammersmith and Fulham, a flagship Tory authority, as well as Merton.
Ukip was winning around one-quarter of the vote in wards where it stood, although its backing was only around ten per cent in the capital.
It scored stunning successes in Essex, gaining 11 seats in Basildon to end Tory control of its town hall, which had been a Labour target, and made steady gains in the nearby councils of Castle Point and Southend of Sea.
It also had a decisive impact in Thurrock by picking up five council seats and depriving Labour of overall control. The result was a particular setback for Ed Miliband as the parliamentary constituency in the Essex town is a key target for Labour at next year's general election.
Across the Thames estuary, the Conservatives were ousted from control of Maidstone in Kent following four Ukip gains.
There was bad news as well for the Liberal Democrats who lost control of Portsmouth after Ukip gained six seats on the council.
This morning, David Cameron admitted the Tories would need to show they have "answers" on issues such as immigration and welfare reform, after conceding the public were "frustrated" with the political establishment's failure to address their concerns.
Ed Miliband however put the results down to a "deep sense of discontent with the way the country is run" and said votes for Ukip "are an expression of this discontent" and a desire for change.
Ukip also polled strongly in the South Yorkshire authority of Rotherham, once a Labour stronghold, where it won ten seats. The Ukip surge also thwarted Labour's hopes of winning Swindon, where the Conservatives increased their majority, or Tamworth.
Labour was drawing some comfort from its strong showing in London and the capture of Cambridge for the first time in nearly 20 years. However, it appeared only to have achieved a swing of around three per cent, short of the shift it needs to propel Mr Miliband into Downing Street at next year's general election.

18/18 Anti-gay comments

Tory support was falling by around seven per cent, although the party argued there was everything to play for next year because of the relatively anaemic backing for Labour. It was relieved to fend off Labour in Swindon and Peterborough.
The collapse in the Lib Dems' local government base since 2010 continued, with its support down by about 13 per cent. They lost control of Kingston-upon-Thames, the home patch of Cabinet minister Ed Davey, to the Conservatives but increased their majority over their Coalition partners in nearby Sutton.
Mr Farage predicted his party would make 200 gains in the elections. He said: "There are areas of the country where now we have got an imprint in local government. Under the first-past-the-post system we are serious players."
Ukip is also expected to make huge gains in the results of elections to the European Parliament, which will be announced on Sunday.
Labour sources had indicated that the party might win 200 seats on a good night, but senior MP Emily Thornberry said she expected the figure to be "around 150".
A senior Labour source acknowledged that Ukip's rise had "some impact" on Ed Miliband's party but claimed it was "looking as though there has been a big Tory/Lib Dem collapse".
But there was criticism of Labour's performance from Eurosceptic MP Graham Stringer, who told the BBC: "We have not done as well as we should have done in both the presentation of our policies and the organisation of the campaign."
Labour former minister David Lammy said he would have liked to see the party make gains in places such as Swindon.
He claimed voters had been "swallowing" Ukip's message on immigration and Europe.
Mr Lammy told Sky News: "There's no doubt about it, Ukip are biting into parts of Labour's working-class vote."
But Tory MPs Douglas Carswell, Jacob Rees-Mogg and Peter Bone called for the Conservatives and Ukip to work together in 2015 to ensure a referendum on Europe.
Mr Rees-Mogg told the BBC: "In a first-past-the-post system, if they don't get those votes into one pot, then both those sides end up losing."Reuse content

Fax machines have a phone built in, and it expects to be connected to the normal phone system. I don't know of any fax machines with a SIM-card, let alone fax machines that would communicate wirelessly with a cell phone to use that to connect.
And I know of no cell phone that lets you connect to a second local source like a fax machine.
It might well be, by the way, that the wireless network doesn't like the fax (or modem) beeps either. So I'd say it's a two or three way no.
Cell phones DO support SMS for text. And smartphones support e-mail. But that isn't what you want, probably.
I'd like to hook up my cell phone to my fax machine so I can send and receive faxes? Can I do this? Is there any special software I need?

Carl Brashear is determined to be the first African American Navy Diver in a time where racism is rife. Leslie Sunday is his embittered trainer, determined to see him fail. Fate, challenges and circumstances eventually draw these two men together in a tale of turbulence and ultimately triumph.Raging BullWhen Jake LaMotta steps into a boxing ring and obliterates his opponent, he's a prizefighter. But when he treats his family and friends the same way, he's a ticking time bomb, ready to go off at any moment. Though LaMotta wants his family's love, something always seems to come between them. Perhaps it's his violent bouts of paranoia and jealousy. This kind of rage helped make him a champ, but in real life, he winds up in the ring alone.The King Of ComedyRupert Pupkin is obsessed with becoming a comedy great. However, whenhe confronts his idol, talk show host Jerry Langford, with a plea to perform on the Jerry's show, he is only given the run-around.

Originally written on Awful Advertisements | Last updated 9/1/14
Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. At least, I think you are but I'm not totally sure because you're practically making love to that burger. The latest Hardee's ad targeted specifically at male consumers features Heidi Klum taking on the role of Mrs. Robinson from the classic movie The Graduate. In the film, Anne Bancroft tries to seduce a young Dustin Hoffman. Here, Klum kind of tries to seduce a guy with a Hardee's Jim Beam Bourbon Thickburger. Does the ad make sense? Not really, but it does a nice job of spoofing the iconic scene from the 1967 classic, which you can see below.
