January 26th, 2009, 07:11 AM #1What's Up With The Google Ads?
Hey. I realize I am sort of new at all of this, but I am curious about something. A friend of mine called me yesterday and had been to my site. He had clicked a link on my site and had called to tell me what he "almost" bought. Then he asked why a merchant that I am an affiliate of would have Google Ads on their site. After hanging up with my friend, I went and clicked a link. Sure enough, this Ace Hardware Superstore had Google Ads on the front page. What's up with that? I send them traffic and they send that traffic to Google? I don't get it. Isn't that like against Google Ads Policy or something? Not to mention against my policy of what a good merchant I am an affiliate of would do. I realize times are tough. Why should I work my behind off to get visitors to my site and send them to a merchant's site, so the merchant can turn around and make a few cents by them then clicking a Google Ad on their site? In the process, I get carpal tunnel and they get 13 cents. I just think it totally defeats the purpose. Say I sell stone birdbaths at an average price of $100 a piece. When a potential customer arrives, I then encourage them to click a Google Ad. Hmmm. I can make $100 by selling a birdbath or I can make 21 cents by having them click a Google Ad. Hmmm. I think I will take the 21 cents. I think some people may need to go back and retake 4th grade math. That's just me though.

Hmm, I see what you mean - http://www.acehardwaresuperstore.com/
And that is a leak. But had another question. I have Ace Hardware thru Linkshare but the urls are different, the one at Linkshare is - http://www.acehardware.com/home/index.jsp Doesn't have any Adsense leaks and is the national site I guess. Anybody know what the one at SAS is, a franchise or something? They have the same logo, at least the red ACE part, but the sites are very different.
edit, I guess you can own an ace store - http://www.myace.com/
I would go with the main, national one at LS if you want that merchant. The one at SAS looks like somebody owns their own little Ace store with a website and affiliate program with Adsense leaks.

I tried with an affiliate link and the Google AdSense is still there on the front page, category pages and up to the detail pages. Stupid move for this merchant. He is sending his customers away to his own competition for a few cents and pissing off his affiliates. It's not going to last for ever.
I noticed also just under a big leak for an other hardware place, chromebolt.com
He's not the first merchant to do such crazy things. You'll find several threads regarding Shareasale merchants doing the same, stupid thing including this thread:

I just checked my ACE links are form SAS program. The company is acehardwaresuperstore. I thought it is the official ACE store by looking at their ACE logo, guess should pay more attention to the details.
The linkshare one is the official store. I need to drop the SAS one and join the Linkshare one and switch links. Extra work.

At least eight people have been jailed in Venezuela in the last 11 months for tweeting messages that the government of Nicolas Maduro found "offensive" or considered a threat for the country's political instability.
The opposition calls it a modern-age witch hunt.
The charges range from conspiracy and instigating hatred to espionage and "causing anxiety" – all of them qualify for probation, defense lawyers say, but somehow their cases have stalled and five of the eight detainees are still behind bars.
Lessi Marcano (48), Ginette Hernández (23), Leonel Sánchez (47), Víctor Ugas (26), and Inés González (31) are locked up in El Helicoide, a Caracas prison guarded by intelligence personnel of the SEBIN (Bolivarian Service of National Intelligence).

I would say both. But if I had to choose one, I'd pick smoking. Understood if drinking and driving were the issue, then definitely drinking. But if the person would to just stay in one place, I'd say smoking is the most dangerous.
sort by best latest
In the short-term alcohol is more likely to kill you. The long-term would definitely be cigarettes although alcohol can cause a lot of issues in the long run too. For some, it would literally kill them to cease drinking. Great question.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
I'd say they are both equally dangerous but in different ways. Smoking is carcenogenic, even in small amounts, and contributes not only to lung cancer, but to a variety of other cancers. In addition it is implicated in Alzheimers and other forms of dementia as well as stroke and heart disease. Cigarettes are almost entirely responsible for COPD in older smokers or ex smokers. Nicotine is also a highly addictive substance and especially if people get hooked when young, the addiction can be extremely powerful and very hard to break.
On the other hand, smoking does not change one's mood or impair judgement like alcohol. You won't get arrested for smoking while driving while drunk drivers take many lives(often including their own) because of impaired judgement behind the wheel.
The best, healthiest bet for a long life is to neither smoke nor drink on a regular basis. I don't know how to choose between the two because both can be lethal and can lead to addiction. The key, as the ancient Greeks said, is moderation.
I've outlined the diseases linked to cigarettes, but I should point out that drinking alcohol can cause liver damage and lead to high blood pressure, gout, and heart disease among other things even if you are not a flat-out alcoholic. On the other hand one glass of wine with dinner or a Saturday night beer can actually be good for you.
If forced to choose, I would say that for the 15% of the population that becomes addicted to alcohol, it is more lethal than smoking. Those who drink heavily tend to be more highly addicted and die in larger numbers in accidents often taking others with them when they go. Also, many cancers are associated with heavy alcohol use and alcohol abuse always takes 5 to 7 years off people's lives
That said, for the rest of the population, I think the answer has to be cigarette smoking since a much higher proportion of people who smoke end up dying of cigarette related conditions than the people who drink die alcohol related deaths...since most people who drink do so moderately... as in an occasional beer after work, a glass of wine with a meal, or once or twice a year a night out on the town. The average smoker smokes every day and sucks on at least 10 cigarettes a day for many years and most smokers start in their teens. Studies show that even four of five cigarettes a day increase the risk of lung cancer, heart disease, and COPD significanatly.

Smoking is carcinogenic in any quantity, whereas drinking is fine within moderation. So: smoking.

Well you know that Ethan was in that wreck about three weeks ago and it wasn't his fault. Her insurance company told Ethan that even though his truck was new they still didn't have to pay it off. Ethan and I have been bighting nails about all of this. We were worried that what they would send him for his truck and his pain and suffering and lost wages would barely pay off his truck. Well they just called and for just his truck they are sending us $700 more than the pay off!! That's not including his P&S or lost wages. This is wonderful news because now they still have to pay for the other and that's what he will use to buy a new truck. You don't understand how happy this makes me. I want to cry. I know that he still has four more weeks of therapy before the lawyer can even start to process all of that but knowing that his truck is paid off and he will get the money for a new one is wonderful!

What would happen if teams just threw open the doors on medical information? What if the Training Room opened up and allowed the reporters in? It's not going to happen any time soon, but I'm less and less convinced after monitoring this kind of thing for a decade that it's an advantage at all, let alone enough to affect anything.
We'll have a couple surprise injuries here and there, a game-time decision that breaks the opposite way, and occasionally something that's hidden enough to get my the amassed press and tape-watchers. Not often though and certainly not so much that it requires anything in the way of the secrecy and outright deception that teams go through.
I don't mean to make an example of the Steelers, who tend to be up front, but did they gain anything by saying Ben Roethlisberger had a sprain instead of a fracture? Did the Chiefs gain anything by not being up front from the start about Matt Cassel's surgery? Did the Colts ever really believe that Bob Sanders was coming back this season? The NFL is a league of copycats. If you read
The short week doesn't help the Colts after a tough loss to the Cowboys, but the 10 days following this game might be a big plus for them, assuming they can make it through this with a win. Otherwise, health might come, but it will be too late. Joseph Addai is out, as is Mike Hart, and the word is that the Dominic Rhodes signing is an indication that Addai might not be back this season. Expect Rhodes to mix in immediately since he knows the offense and Peyton Manning trusts him. He's a decent play in PPR leagues. Austin Collie is also out this week, while Jacob Tamme seems headed towards a game-time decision. The Colts defense is banged up as well, with Jerraud Powers heading to IR after a nasty arm fracture required plates and screws. They look to be getting Kelvin Hayden back, however. Owner Jim Irsay also indicates that Bob Sanders is headed for IR. On the Titans side, they'll be getting Kenny Britt back after missing several weeks with a strained hamstring. Expect him to be full-go and mix in at WR1. Kerry Collins will be looking for him early, though everyone expects Chris Johnson to be the big weapon against a weak Indy run defense. The Titans have some depth issues up front on defense as well.
Word leaked out on Wednesday that Matt Cassel had an appendectomy Wednesday morning. Though the Chiefs are not listing him as out for this Sunday's game, common sense tells us he is. While laproscopic techniques have reduced the complications surrounding an appendectomy, reducing the scarring, incision size, and need to cut through muscle in order to remove the vestigial problem, it's still surgery. People take about 30 days to recover fully, but Cassel is a football player, so the question is when he'll be functional and when it will be safe. Doctors I spoke with today hesitated to give low-end estimates, including one that says "two weeks is too fast, but he'll likely do it in less," due to the possibility that normal patients would overdo it and create bigger problems. The consensus was that 10 days -- just in time for Week 15 -- is the absolute low end of safety. We'll get plenty of looks next week in practice to give a better indication of exactly when Cassel will return. Brodie Croyle will take over, but it does hurt the fantasy value of Dwayne Bowe while upping the running game just a bit.
Ben Roethlisberger had minor surgery to fix his broken nose, but the foot is the real problem for him. The Steelers admitted that the fifth metatarsal is broken, but as I said last week, it doesn't really matter to the treatment and protection of the injury. The key is protecting the foot from trauma, something the Steelers were able to do. Roethlisberger's running was also limited, since the lateral forces -- either stopping or pushing off to his left -- would be very taxing for that fracture. A heavy cover and thick tape job did what they were supposed to as Roethlisberger's performance was key in a big Steelers win. There's no reason to think it will be any different this week or for the next few as the bone heals. Back to the nose for just a second -- several people, including some in the game, asked me why Roethlisberger's nose continued to bleed for nearly the entire game. There's no good answer as to why, though many doctors I spoke with suggested that the use of certain painkillers can cause a thinning of the blood, making it tougher to stop the bleeding. It clearly didn't affect him during the game, so I doubt that the Steelers will need to hire a cut man.
We learned a little about Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson on Sunday, but we learned a lot more about head coach Leslie Frazier. Frazier played it very close to the vest, watching Adrian Peterson before the game and even making him re-do some drills before putting him on the active roster. Once Frazier saw what he saw, it was off to the races for Peterson. Peterson showed absolutely no effects from the ankle sprain and had his best day of the season production-wise. Was this a sandbag by the Vikings or something else? Based on information from several sources, including the time Peterson was with the medical staff before and after the game, the injury was real. One team source tells me that the difference is the QB. "When Favre sees something he doesn't like, he checks to a quick pass. When [Tarvaris] Jackson saw something, he checked to a run. Which one's smarter -- trusting an old arm or the best back in the league?" It's hard to argue that, so we're left wondering if Favre's latest injury, a bruised shoulder, will keep him out this week. He's pushing hard to be back out there and sources tell me that he's more likely to start the game at this stage than not. But does start mean stay out there? That's less clear. "If [Frazier] lets him start, he has to produce," one source told me. Looking back to how Frazier monitored Peterson all of last week right up to the GTD makes me think Favre is going to get the same treatment.
Things are looking up for Matthew Stafford. He's throwing passes at practice, but he's running out of time to be ready for Week 14. Week 15? Sure, that's looking more likely. The question remains as to whether bringing Stafford back is the right decision for the Lions, but getting some confidence for the future for Stafford, for the team, and for the fans has some value. You can easily compare the return of Stafford to that of Tony Romo, but we know a lot more about Romo and who he is and is going to be as a QB1. Stafford's not a bust by a long shot, but he's going to have to establish that he can stay healthy if his ceiling is going to go any higher than Matt Schaub Lite. Stafford is going to have a ways to go in the next ten days. Look for him to start throwing deep balls and outs to prove to the coaches that he's ready.
The Dolphins made Brandon Marshall a very late inactive last week, surprising many. It's remaining a surprise just how much the hamstring strain is continuing to affect him, keeping him to limited action in practice even days later. With Brian Hartline injured and Chad Henne needing all the help he can get, Marshall's return would be a big help, but we're no closer to seeing whether Marshall can play today than we were last Sunday. We know that Tony Sparano made the call last week and that the medical staff had cleared him to play, which leaves me wondering what the current limitations are. Are the Dolphins worried that there's recurrence risk or that Marshall isn't self-aware enough to self-limit? He'll be a GTD going into this week and for teams either in the fantasy playoffs or needing a win to make it there, Marshall's going to be almost too risky to play in all but extreme situations.
The Texans won't say it and neither will Andre Johnson, but I will -- playing through the ankle sprain this season has cost Johnson and the Texans (and fantasy owners) a lot of value. Johnson's been good, but this is a guy who was drafted as the first WR in a majority of leagues, so good isn't enough. The Texans don't owe fantasy owners anything, but there's a value equation in place here that's pretty easy to note. We don't have access to the real, hands-on data that the medical staff does. I can say things like "Johnson looks about 80 percent out there" but I don't have real data to make that statement. They do. Does 80 percent of a player get 80 percent of expected production? No, it's not that simple either. Production is a range of possibilities, especially in a game where TDs aren't distributed in any rational fashion. (See: Vrabel, Mike.) It's reasonable, however, to say that there's a certain amount of lost production while Johnson hobbled through half the season. Fantasy owners didn't get what they hoped and if the Texans end up at home in January, it's hard to say they did either. All I'm saying is no matter what he does in December, remember all this come next August.
Things looked promising last week for Pierre Thomas, but he wasn't able to go in the end. Sean Payton made the decision based on what he had available and where Thomas fit into the game plan. Thomas was close, which gives us a lot more indication that he's going to be even closer this week. Reports from practice have him going without limitation, but a closer look shows that Thomas got reps behind Chris Ivory. That makes Thomas less of a clear play from a fantasy perspective. He's a clear RB2 to a healthy Ivory, isn't going to take carries from Reggie Bush, and isn't likely to get the goal-line carries that would amp his value. Don't be fooled when you see Thomas on the active list ... unless Sean Payton fools us all and uses Thomas as relief for Ivory, a rookie with a long history of injuries.
Compartment syndrome is no joke. If you read the description of it in the

Abuse Prevention Policy
Presbyterian Youth Triennium
Believing that God calls youth and adults to learn, serve, worship and experience the community of faith together – the staff of the Presbyterian Youth Triennium, in cooperation with the sponsoring denominational abuse prevention requirements and guidelines expects the following conduct and practice from youth and adults at the Presbyterian Youth Triennium:
- Church and presbytery delegations must have the appropriate ratio of adult advisors to youth participants. This ratio is: 10 youth (of the same gender) to 1 adult (of the same gender).
- Delegations must participate in AT LEAST one pre-event orientation to build community, review the Triennium Guidelines for Community Life and discuss how that delegation will travel, live and learn safely and faithfully during the event days.
- All Adult Advisors (volunteers chosen to chaperone church and presbytery delegations) MUST have a PYT Background Screening Check run that results in an approved criminal background screening report check in order to serve as an adult advisor. Delegation registrars will work with the National PYT Registrar to provide adult advisors with the instructions to complete Consent Release procedures in order for the background check to be run.
- Churches and Presbyteries are expected to cover the cost of the criminal background checks. Instructions will be provided to the registrars and adult advisors as well as the PYT volunteer staff. These guidelines and instructions will be communicated prior to the background screening process.
- Background checks will only be run in the year of the event and will be run through the PYT Abuse Prevention partner, Praesidium, Inc,.
- All PYT adult volunteers (small group leaders, office staff, EMTs, etc…) must have a current AND approved criminal background check in order to be confirmed as a volunteer. Triennium staff must keep a record of all signed release forms (denominational policy) and reports. Criminal background check instructions and forms will be provided to the volunteers by their assigned PYT staff person. PYT will cover the cost of the volunteer background checks.
- All PYT participants (youth and adult) are expected to follow the "2&1" rule. During any situation there should be at least 2 youth and 1 adult present or 2 adult and 1 youth present. Youth and Adults should not be alone, 1 to 1, in any room, classroom, or office. If a 1 to 1 situation is absolutely unavoidable – the adult should take care to keep the situation as public as possible (doors open, another adult notified and aware of the meeting, documentation in the Incident Report Log, etc…). The 2&1 rule is in effect for all situations (before or after small groups, in the residence halls, in the dining courts, at recreation events, if someone has to leave worship or go to the hospital).
- Youth and Adults will maintain different showering and grooming hours in the residence halls bathrooms and shower rooms. These hours are posted in the residence halls (denominational policy).
- If emergency or medical transport is necessary the "2&1" rule should be practiced. If a Conference Dean must transport a youth to the hospital or FIRST AID STATION for care there should be another adult or youth present.
- Small Group Leaders and Adult Advisors should sit, in a public place, such as a residence hall lobby, a common area, a mall, a place with other people in close proximity, if they would like to pray together, talk, or share ideas.
- If anyone, youth or adult, finds themselves in a situation where they feel alarm, distress, danger or coercion from another person (youth or adult) they should contact their Residence Hall Coordinator or Conference Dean immediately. Or, they can come to the PYT office and ask to speak to the PYT staff or a conference pastor. Care will be taken to talk with both parties and to seek for a way to provide appropriate follow up and support. These instructions must be shared with youth and adults in an official capacity (e.g. orientation meeting, pre-event meeting).
- Adults should not encourage or suggest situations where they are alone with young people in an isolated space. If a young person approaches an adult and asks to talk, pray, or walk with, adults are asked to suggest to the young person that they might meet in a few minutes "outside" or in a lobby … some place that is public.
- If an adult (small group leader, support staff, etc.) is privy to information regarding a young person's life, wellness, safety the adult should immediately alert the Conference Dean of the young person's residence hall. It is the Dean's responsibility to ensure that adult advisors, conference pastors and parents are made aware of critical information. If the situation is one of certain danger the adult should make sure to share the information with their assigned PYT staff person.
- Physical contact between youth and adults should be limited to appropriate youth/adult contact. Side hugs, no lap sitting, no pinning down, tackling, wrestling.
- An adult should never share inappropriate materials, images, statements, jokes or body language with a youth or any other PYT participant.
- Youth participants should never share inappropriate materials, images, statements, jokes or body language with each other or with adults.
- An adult should never invite a young person into his/her sleeping room, car, bus, van, or any other private location.
- If an inappropriate meeting is observed by another PYT participant – the observer should immediately contact their Conference Dean with this information.
- Adults should not text, email or call with private messages or invitations. Communication following the Triennium should remain public or semi-public (e.g. Small Group Facebook page) unless they are responding to a direct question.
- Adults and youth should not share residence hall sleeping rooms. The exception to this rule is for the occasional caregiver/youth situation or parent/youth situation. If a youth participant requires a caregiver/para – the PYT National registrar will need written permission from the youth's parent/guardian.
- PYT participants are asked to conduct themselves with extraordinary decorum, patience, and modesty while attending the event and while traveling to and from the event.

St Albans, United Kingdom (PressExposure) January 18, 2012 -- HR and training professionals who understand the importance of evaluation but who also realise that there's a gap between what they do and what they want to do could find the answer to this unsatisfactory state of affairs in a new evaluation approach.
Known as 'Results Assessment' (RA) and developed by Ceres Management, RA aims to demystify evaluation - enabling HR and L&D professionals to become serious 'business partners', by aligning training activities to business goals and measuring the results that are important to the business.
RA is designed to link engagement to measuring value and provide practical ways to move beyond 'level one' evaluation. It does this collaboratively with key stakeholders initially defining what business success looks like; then aligning programme and evaluation goals with business needs; focusing evaluation effort around clear performance needs, and using results data to make important decisions about programme impact, on-going investments and so on.
Dr John O'Connor, of Ceres Management and the force behind RA, explained: "Many HR and L&D professionals are dissatisfied with how they currently 'do' evaluation but they don't want to take unnecessary risks.
"Some of them don't believe that detailed evaluation is necessary or valuable because of the fast-changing nature of their organisations - which will make the benchmark criteria irrelevant by the time the programme is complete," he continued. "Or they argue that other factors, such as a low acceptance level of the new technology or change strategy, can hinder the validity of a tactical approach to evaluation.
"However, if an organisation is not currently measuring impact outcomes, it needs to realise that evaluation is possible and easy to do, and it provides a more integrated approach to business planning," he said.
"And organisations that are currently doing evaluation need to realise that, without too much effort and building on what they already know, they could be doing it better using the business-driven RA process."
Unlike traditional evaluation approaches that are, typically, implemented at the conclusion of a project, the RA model starts by validating the business need before the initiative is developed. With the help of Ceres Management, the RA process can be tailored to any project and those using RA can be coached, trained and certificated in its use.
Dr John O'Connor has many years' experience designing and developing engaging and stimulating learning solutions. He commented: "A continued frustration for me has been the low status that L&D/training professionals are held in across almost every organisation with which I've worked.
"In my experience, training professionals are rarely, if ever, involved in strategic business planning. Investments in training carry assumed benefits but aren't expected to show business value.
"Consequently, L&D functions often end up in self-contained corners of business operations. This story would never apply to IT, finance, or sales," he said.
"In their haste to please, L&D professionals can get carried away with what they're good at - that is, the design or the delivery systems - but can fail to link programme results with what the business wanted to achieve," he continued.
"This is happening even more in today's current fast-changing business world. Thinking in terms of 'solutions', we often overlook the need to align our development initiatives to business issues.
"I believe that Results Assessment addresses this issue by transforming the way L&D works with its business partners, entailing a shift in mind-sets and a change in behaviours," he added.
"The RA model should help L&D teams to get a 'seat at the Board table' and to be able to demonstrate business value through their words, ideas, skills and actions. The beauty of RA is that it is simple to understand and easy to apply."
For further details of Results Assessment, contact John O'Connor on +44-(0)7838165778 or at firstname.lastname@example.com

I received an email from a subscriber recently who was having a problem with the icons that were displayed in Windows Explorer. He wanted thumbnails of the images or videos to be displayed instead of the icons.
Windows Explorer, at least in versions up through Windows 7, defaults to list files that are photos or videos by showing thumbnail images of them. That's pretty helpful if you're trying to find one picture in a folder stuffed full of photos.
However, on the negative side, your computer has to spend time opening all those images and creating the thumbnails to be displayed. That's where the file Thumbs.db comes in (at least in Windows XP — Windows 7 puts the thumbnails in a protected operating system file called Desktop.ini, even though the file is in the folder that has the videos & images and not actually on the Windows Desktop) — Windows stores the thumbnails, once they've been created, in that file.
Below, you can see the recorded TV directory on my desktop computer, displaying an icon for a folder and three thumbnails for recorded shows. Read more about this capability in my next article…
When you click on the downward-pointing triangle (indicated in the image above by the arrow and the label "Change Display Mode," you can see that the currently selected option is Large Icons (lower-left image).
To change this display option, either click on the words respresenting the choice you want (for example, click on Details) or drag the slider.
If you click on the words, you get an instant change and the option list closes.
If you drag the slider, as you pass each option, you get to see a preview of what that selection will show you. That's nice, if you want to see what is available (and just how bit "Extra Large Icons" are!).
In the image on the lower right, I've changed the selection to Details.
Below, we see the same folder being displayed, but with Details instead of Large Icons.
It's your choice which of the displays you want to see. Which is better? It depends on your desire.
If you want to quickly check the size of files, the Details view is the one to use. If you want to see what an image looks like, or see the first frame of a video, then one of the Icons views is impaortant (although Tiles will also
give you a small thumbnail view.
Which you choose to display is up to you…and can vary by folder, too.
If you decide on a layout you like, such as Details, which offers a lot of additional columns to be displayed depending on the folder's contents, and you change the column sizes, or rearrange them, or display additional columns (right-click on the column headings to see what you can display), you can apply those changes to all folders, if you want.
Just click on Tools on the Windows Explorer menu bar (if it's not displayed, press and release the Alt key). Select the View tab. Then, in the top section Folder Views, click the button that says "Apply to Folders."

Students today enjoy the connectedness of social networking; it is part of their very being. My goal is to bring my instruction into that cloud to teach the content required in ways that inspire online responsibility and ethics in this new, very public world.
In addition, as I connect with other educators about the emerging issues and pedagogy of connected learning, I reflect here on those issues, pedagogy, and connections that make for a diverse dialogue about what education could be. These are my reflections.
Please remember we are all learning. Neither my words nor those of my students represent our school district, and our words belong to each of us as we strive to become better learners.
We question, we converse, we express, we suggest, we explore. We ask, "What Else?"
I am learning together with my colleagues in my professional learning neighborhood as my students are also learning together as they build their neighborhoods and practice digital citizenship.

Still, Shelley Breen, Heather Payne, and Denise Jones decided to continue, adding the vocals of Leigh Cappillino, a former member of Truth and a featured worship leader from the Women of Faith conferences. She's a fine replacement for the group, but more interestingly, Point of Grace sees the lineup change as an opportunity to slightly alter their sound for their latest studio effort,
Actually, it might surprise Christian music fans to learn that half of
The problem is Point of Grace hasn't stepped far enough outside of the box to attract non-fans (or new ones), yet perhaps just enough to alienate some of their soft adult contemporary base.
More frustrating are the songs, which sound uninteresting and lack depth despite the different crop of songwriters. "Down" is a slightly funky soft rocker about trying to reconcile the mysteries of God with rational thought, and "Whom Am I" similarly wonders with humility what we really know relative to the Almighty. There's a ballad that blandly reveals that our lives are "Worthless" without Jesus in our lives, "God Is in It" basically lifts Philippians 4:8-9, and "Justified" is a simplistic summary of grace and forgiveness. The title track begins promisingly, observing that "everybody's worshipping something" in the world today, but then it becomes another flimsy declaration of worship.
Some cuts do work a little better, like the cover of Dana Glover's soulful "Make It Real." It's got a good Southern roots pop sound, but it's soaked in generalities: "Open your heart/'Cause that's when you start to truly feel." "For All You've Done" fares better as a gently recorded hymn with thoughtful lyrics: "Oh cleanser of the mess I've made/Your boundless love for me portrayed/I watch as all my cares erode/And from my soul these words explode." And the album wraps up with "Arrival at the City" and "This Is Your Land," a somewhat artful and ethereal vision of heaven that starts with a reading from Bunyan's
It's often been said that music like this is intended to "preach to the choir," but that's too often used as an excuse for weak and lightweight material. There are just too many examples of better-crafted pop written for the Church. With their slightly stripped down sound,

Controversy what is being called "DeflateGate" is still ongoing, after the Patriots footballs did not meet league air pressure specifications during the New England Patriots v Indianapolis Colts in the first half of the AFC title game.
The Patriots won 45-7, and since the air pressure specifications were not met investigations are still underway. It seems a ball that has been deflated can make it a lot easier to grip making it even easier to make passes.
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick insists they did nothing wrong at all. Since the DeflateGate begun social media has gone crazy, Facebook is being inundated with comments, YouTube with new videos and tweets on Twitter are still coming in at a very fast rate.
According to the latest news reports Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has not yet talked to the NFL, but this hasn't stopped videos being released. The three videos below have taking the number 1,2 and 3 spots for trending in YouTube (United States).
The first video is titled 'Deflate Gate SNL Cold Opening. Tom Brady Saturday Night Live' and has so far had 310,315 views since being published by 'youaintnutso' on 24 Jan 2015. The reason this is trending in YouTube is simply down to getting 200,000+ new local views, this one has had 2012 comments so far and they are interesting.
In the Saturday Night Live they take aim at the deflate-gate controversy, in the comedy sketch Tom Brady "I just assumed that the air in the football was the same amount of air that was in the pig when it died." Watch the video for the rest; we will not spoil it for you.
The second video titled 'News Anchor Destroys Patriots DeflateGate' has had 267,955 views since being published by 'bassettsboy' on 22 Jan 2015 and has had 100,000+ new local views. This one is where news anchor Rob Finnerty goes all out on DeflateGate.
This third video is basically the first on above. However, this one was uploaded by
'HappenToday' and has had 192,738 views since being published on 24 Jan 2015, with 100,000+ new local views. The comments on this one has been disabled.
What are your views on the Patriots and the DeflateGate?

AU Community Celebrates Ten Years of the Arts at Katzen
For ten years, the Katzen Arts Center at American University has been the nucleus of a growing and shared community of visual and performing artists, faculty, and students. Today its influence extends far beyond campus to greater Washington, DC, and the nation. On Saturday, September 26, the AU community gathered for a gala event to honor the tenth anniversary of the center and the extraordinary gift from benefactors Cyrus and Myrtle Katzen that made it possible.
In keeping with the center's interdisciplinary nature, the gala took a creative approach to celebrating the arts at AU. A major highlight, in between the cocktail hour and dinner, was an "Arts Walk," in which attendees got to experience first hand the variety and vibrancy of the arts at AU. As they strolled in and out of various performance spaces set up at Katzen, guests experienced two interactive exhibits that connected physical movement, videography and sound; a haunting performance by the American University Chamber Singers; a beguiling dance performance; a stage combat demonstration in the studio theater; and select works by AU art faculty and MFA students.
Peter Starr, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, told dinner guests, "The Arts Walk you just experienced gave you a taste of the outstanding creative work that happens every day here in the Katzen Arts Center, and that makes this space such an extraordinary resource for AU students, faculty, and members of the greater DC community."
Later in the program, guests viewed a video produced by AU alum Kevin Eikenberg, featuring current students and recent alumni who spent a great deal of time in Katzen as arts majors or minors. The video, which you can see here, spoke to the importance of Katzen to the students who use it every day, and the prodigious art they have generated thanks to the Katzen family's generosity.
AU President Neil Kerwin called the gala an exceptional event that demonstrated how American University students, guided by faculty, have filled the Katzen Arts Center with remarkable talent. "The entire program underscored the importance of the building in the life of our institution, and it was altogether fitting that Myrtle Katzen received the Dean's Award," Kerwin said. "The generosity of Cy and Myrtle, along with the strong support of the entire Katzen family and many others, has given us a facility that will support and inspire us for decades to come."
Starr closed the evening by presenting a College Dean's Award to Myrtle Katzen, in recognition of her commitment, and that of her late husband, to the arts at AU. He then recognized others who have contributed significantly to the arts and the Katzen Arts Center over its ten years: Sylvia Kay Greenberg, Carolyn Alper, Hank and Carol Brown Goldberg, Sharon Wolpoff and the Wolpoff Family Foundation, Earl and Carol Bird Ravenal, Giselle and Ben Huberman, Jackie and Richard Meisenberg, and Linda Daly and Mike Alexander.
In his closing remarks, Starr said, "We are grateful to the entire Katzen family; to our many donors, large and small; and to our arts faculty, students and staff for an extraordinary first ten years in the Katzen Arts Center. We look forward to celebrating an even more extraordinary decade with each and every one of you in 2025."

The present invention relates generally to shared memory computer systems and more particularly relates to systems and methods for performing memory access arbitration among transactions in an arbitration queue.
Multiprocessor computer architectures are known in the art and are recognized as overcoming limitations of single processor systems in terms of processing speed and transaction throughput. Typically, such multiprocessor systems are "shared memory" systems where multiple processors on a bus, or a number of busses, share a single global memory. In some shared memory multiprocessor systems, memory is uniformly accessible to each processor, which simplifies the task of dynamic load distribution. Processing of complex tasks can then be distributed among various processors in the multiprocessor system while data used in the processing is substantially equally available to each of the processors undertaking any portion of the complex task. Similarly, programmers writing code for typical shared memory systems do not need to be concerned with issues of data partitioning, as each of the processors has access to and shares the same, consistent global memory.
Many multi-processor systems suffer disadvantages in that system bandwidth and scalability are limited. Although multiprocessor systems may be capable of executing many millions of instructions per second, the shared memory resources and the system bus connecting the multiprocessors to the memory presents a bottleneck as complex processing loads are spread among more processors, each needing access to the global memory. As more processors are added to a system to perform complex tasks, the demand for memory access also increases. However, at some point, adding more processors does not necessarily translate into faster processing, i.e., typical systems are not fully scalable. The decrease in performance is generally due to the bottleneck created by the increased number of processors needing access to the memory and the transport mechanism, e.g. bus, to and from memory.
Alternative architectures are known which seek to relieve such bandwidth constraints. Computer architectures based on Cache Coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access (CCNUMA) are known in the art. CCNUMA architectures are typically characterized as having distributed global memory. Generally, CCNUMA machines include a number of processing nodes which are connected through a high bandwidth, low latency interconnection network. The processing nodes will generally include one or more high-performance processors, associated cache, and a portion of a global shared memory. Cache coherence, i.e., the consistency and integrity of shared data stored in multiple caches, is typically maintained by a directory-based, write-invalidate cache coherency protocol, as known in the art. To determine the status of caches, each processing node typically has a directory memory corresponding to its respective portion of the shared physical memory. For each line or discrete addressable block of memory, the directory memory stores an indication of remote nodes that are caching that same line.
One known implementation of the CCNUMA architecture is known as "DASH" (Directory Architecture for Shared memory), developed at the Computer Systems Laboratory at Stanford University. The DASH architecture, described in the Directory-Based Cache Coherence Protocol for the DASH Multiprocessor, Lenoski et al., Proceedings of the 14th Int'l Symp. Computer Architecture, IEEE CS Press, 1990, pp. 148-159, which is incorporated herein by reference, consists of a number of processing nodes connected through a high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnection network. As is typical in CCNUMA machines, the physical memory is distributed among the nodes of the multiprocessor, with all memory accessible to each node. Each processing node consists of: a small number of high-performance processors; their respective individual caches; a portion of the shared-memory; a common cache for pending remote accesses; and a directory controller interfacing the node to the network.
The DASH system places a significant burden relating to memory consistency on the software developed for the system. In effecting memory consistency in the DASH implementation of CCNUMA architecture, a "release consistency" model is implemented, which is characterized in that memory operations issued by a given processor are allowed to be observed and completed out of order with respect to other processors. Ordering of memory operations is only effected under limited circumstances. Protection of variables in memory is left to the programmer developing software for the DASH multiprocessor, as under the DASH release consistency model the hardware only ensures that memory operations are completed prior to releasing a lock on the pertinent memory. Accordingly, the release consistency model for memory consistency in DASH is a weakly ordered model. It is generally accepted that the DASH model for implementing memory correctness significantly complicates programming and cache coherency.
A problem in multi-processor, shared memory systems is that memory access among the multiple processors must be controlled in a manner such that data read from and written to memory does not become corrupted or incoherent. Because the multiple processors may seek to perform conflicting operations on memory locations, such as simultaneously read from and write to a particular location, it is imperative that a memory management scheme be employed. Memory arbitration schemes for performing such memory and cache management are known. For example, a basic arbitration scheme may simply involve a first in-first out (FIFO) buffer which manages memory access by always giving priority to the oldest entry in the buffer.
While a FIFO scheme is effective at avoiding memory conflicts, it does have attendant disadvantages. For example, the type of operation in the respective buffer entries is not given any weight in this arbitration scheme. As a result, it is possible to have alternating read and write requests throughout the buffer which, as they are serviced in turn, require the memory bus to be frequently "turned around" (changed from read to write) which is a time consuming and inefficient operation. Another disadvantage is that if the resource required to service the oldest entry in the buffer is unavailable during the current cycle, all other operations must still wait there turn in the FIFO buffer even if all conditions to perform their respective operations are satisfied. Thus, system latency increases in such a system.
Accordingly, as processors become faster and multiprocessor shared memory systems become more complex, there is a growing need for improved systems and methods for memory management including new arbitration schemes and circuits.
It is an object of the invention to provide a system for management of distributed shared memory which provide enhanced performance with respect to system bandwidth and latency.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a memory arbitration scheme which reduces memory bus turn around while not adversely effecting system latency.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an arbitration queue where entries can be serviced from any point in the queue and that higher order entries ripple down to fill the voids in the queue created by previously serviced entries.
In accordance with the present method of memory arbitration in a system including shared system memory, cache memory and at least one processor submitting transactions to the system memory, the arbitration process includes placing memory transactions in entries in an arbitration queue. The status of the entries with respect to the cache is determined prior to selecting a transaction to be serviced from the queue. Entries are then selected to participate in arbitration based at least in part upon the cache status. For example, if the transaction status is invalid, that transaction cannot be serviced until a write back from cache to system memory is complete. If the status indicates a cache hit, that entry can participate in arbitration and, if selected, can be serviced from cache.
In accordance with another aspect of the present method of memory arbitration, before conducting arbitration the entries in the arbitration queue are grouped according to at least one transaction parameter. Arbitration can then proceed among the groups to select one group of entries for servicing. From the selected group, transactions are preferably serviced from oldest to newest. Preferably, the transaction parameters are selected to optimize bandwidth and latency. Parameters can include memory bank, write to bank, read from bank, read, write and the like.
In the present arbitration methods, transactions can be serviced from any location in the arbitration queue. As a result, openings at intermediate positions in the queue can occur. To efficiently utilize the full capacity of the queue, a collapsible queue arrangement can be used.
In accordance with one embodiment of a collapsible arbitration queue, a number of registers corresponding to the number of entries in the queue are employed. A plurality of 2:1 multiplexers are interposed between the registers such that one multiplexer is interposed between a higher order register and a subsequent register with the output of the higher order register being coupled to a first input of the one multiplexer and the output of the subsequent register being coupled to a second input of the one multiplexer. An output of the one multiplexer is coupled to the subsequent register and a Mux control line is coupled to the one multiplexer to direct the contents of one of the first and second multiplexer inputs to the multiplexer output. In this way, the multiplexer select line associated with the higher order register and subsequent register determines whether the subsequent register is refreshed with its current contents or receives the contents of the higher order register.
These and other objects and features of the invention will become apparent from the detailed description of preferred embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention, reference is made to the detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
Preferably the memory interface 130 includes, or has access to, cache memory. The use of cache in servicing memory transactions from the processors 140 a, 140 b (and others (not shown) in large, multi-processor arrangements) significantly improves the system bandwidth and overall processing efficiency. The term transaction is broadly used to include any and all accesses to system memory, including but not limited to reads, writes, write backs from cache and the like. The size and arrangement of the cache can take on any known arrangement which is compatible with the X memory system 150 and Y memory system 160. In an exemplary embodiment, the cache is formed as a 32 Kilobyte write back cache which has 1024 (1K) cache lines which can hold 8096 (8K) entries, where each line fills 32 bytes. The cache is 8 way associative with a seven bit index. The seven bit index is added to the three bits for directory (8 lines per entry) and 7 bits for cache data which results in 17 bits. In a 36 bit memory address system, there are 19 bits remaining for a tag.
The exemplary cache can be built as a 128 word by 160 bit REGISTER file. Three bits of Most Recently Used way number are appended to the 160 Bits to make a total of 163 bits in width, which can be split if desired. When a tag is checked, all 160 bits are read and are compared in eight separate comparators to the value being checked. If one of the tags matches, another entry is not made so as to avoid having two matching entries.
Generally, the hub 110 also includes various interface ports such as an X I/O port 170, a Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) link 180 and a port for interconnection to other hubs 190, which can take the form of an X I/O port, a NUMA port or other interface port.
The present memory arbitration system employs what is referred to herein as a collapsible arbitration queue 200 which is illustrated in the schematic diagrams of
The transactions in the queue can win arbitration and be serviced from any queue register location. The arbitration queue 200 is considered "collapsible" in that when a particular entry wins arbitration and is serviced, the state of that location in the queue is changed to the idle state and in the next cycle all higher entries in the queue 200 ripple down, thereby increasing in priority.
As noted in connection with
As noted in connection with
A Chain OK field 440 can also be included to provide an indication that other transactions in the arbitration queue targeting the same memory address.
A Read/Write Bit field 450 can also be provided to indicate whether the transaction for an arbitration queue entry is a read operation or a write operation. As noted previously, it is inefficient to turn the direction of the memory bus around from read to write on a frequent basis. The R/W Bit field 450 provides an efficient manner of identifying like transactions for grouping as a common operation type. The R/W field 450 only depends on the contents of the transaction field and, therefore, remains constant for the entry.
The arbitration queue entries may also include a State field 460 to indicate the status of the transaction with respect to the cache contents (e.g., hit, miss, victim). An aspect of the present arbitration scheme is that at the start of the arbitration cycle, the address targeted for each transaction in the arbitration queue is subjected to a comparison with a look-up table representative of the current contents of the cache. The result of this look-up operation is that each entry in the arbitration queue 200 can be designated as one of a hit, miss, or victim state prior to arbitration. A hit state indicates that the targeted DRAM contents are currently in cache. A miss state indicates that the targeted DRAM contents are currently resident in DRAM and that there are no pending write backs to this DRAM location. A victim state indicates that the targeted DRAM contents were in Cache, but a write back is pending in a write back queue (not shown) and neither the data in cache or DRAM is clean until the write back to system memory is complete. Those entries which are in the victim state cannot be serviced, and therefore, will not participate in a current arbitration cycle.
The State field 460 can change from cycle to cycle depending on the transactions that are serviced during each cycle.
The present arbitration scheme employs what is called a reverse arbitration process. Rather than servicing transactions merely from oldest to newest, the present arbitration scheme first groups transactions in the arbitration queue by some transaction parameter criteria. Arbitration is then conducted among the groups of transactions and the oldest transaction in the group winning arbitration is then serviced. Any number of transaction parameter criteria can be used to establish transaction groups. However, to minimize latency and maximize system bandwidth, grouping transactions by DRAM Bank, Writes to Bank, and Reads to Bank are particularly useful.
Once the transactions are grouped, arbitration among those groups ready for servicing (e.g., bank is ready, operation is ready, not in victim state) enter arbitration based on a policy associated with the memory interface 130. The arbitration policy will generally favor conducting a number of reads in sequence followed by a number of writes in order to minimize the number of times the memory bus needs to be turned around.
The present memory arbitration features which have been described above are summarized in the flow chart of
Grouping of entries may be done in several dimensions. The groups may also be overlapping as entries may fall into more than one group. An entry may get serviced first as part of one group than as part of another group. Arbitration may be performed over a large number of groups. The arbitration queue is updated based on status changes of entries with respect to the different groups. Whenever the cache contents are changed, entries in the arbitration queue are most likely affected and their individual hit/miss/victim status and group categorization will need to be updated. the arbitration queue is changed whenever an old entry is serviced and a new entry enters. When a write back is completed, a victim entry needs to be updated to its appropriate classification.
The present systems and methods provide an efficient way of servicing transactions to shared memory. By grouping transactions according to a transaction parameter prior to arbitration in age order, the number of bus turnarounds is minimized without adding to latency. In addition, by evaluating the status of transactions in an arbitration queue with respect to the cache contents and regularly updating this status, DRAM bandwidth is improved as wasted cycles are avoided. By grouping transactions and following an arbitration policy which services entries from an arbitration queue outside of a strict age order, openings in middle of the arbitration queue occur regularly. To insure full queue utilization, a collapsible queue structure and control method are provided.
Thus, it is apparent that there has been provided, in accordance with the present invention, a system and method of managing an arbitration queue having a plurality of queue entries are provided that satisfy the advantages set forth above. Although the present systems and methods have been described in connection with several embodiments thereof, it is understood that numerous changes and modifications can be effected by those skilled in the art and it is intended that the present invention encompasses such changes and modifications as fall within the scope and spirit of the appended claims.

Couple narrowly avoid death as COW smashes through car windscreen
A COUPLE had a lucky escape when this massive cow went through the windscreen of their car.
The animal was left lying on the bonnet of the car with two of its legs through the windscreen following the incident near the city of Aba in south-eastern Nigeria's Abia state.
Incredibly, neither the male driver, named only as Oyoyo, nor his female passenger were seriously injured in the freak accident but the Toyota Camry was left badly damaged.
The cow reportedly ran into the road "from nowhere" and the driver was going too fast to have a chance of avoiding the animal.
"The cow reportedly ran into the road from nowhere"
Cows roam by roadsides in many parts of Nigeria and are regarded as a major traffic hazard.
Social media users shared pictures of the dramatic accident and one user urged more Nigerian states to follow the example of Ekiti state in the western part of the country.
Ekiti Governor Ayo Fayose has introduced an Anti-Grazing Bill to ban the practice.
Abia state, formerly a British colonial government outpost, is one of the constituent states of the Niger Delta region.
The cow appears to be an Adamawa, a breed of cattle indigenous to Nigeria regularly used for beef and dairy production or farm work.
