Summary (Masterplots II: African American Literature, Revised Edition)
A Visitation of Spirits is essentially a novel about homosexuality. Young Horace Cross finds himself irresistibly attracted to men and has been having one affair after another. He finds that his attraction to males does not recognize racial barriers; he has love affairs with virile white actors who are playing in summer stock in his rural area, and he prefers to associate with a group of rowdy young white males who are considered renegades and dropouts at his high school. Horace is exceptionally bright and has been getting top grades up until the time of this adolescent crisis. Now his grades have plummeted, and all of his relatives, including his doting grandfather, are pressuring him to change back into the polite, ambitious, well-behaved boy he had been.
Horace goes to his cousin, the Reverend Jimmy Greene, with his problem, asking him in confidence what he can do, if anything, to renounce his homosexual tendencies. Jimmy has been through the same crisis himself and is ashamed to discuss it openly. He simply tells Horace he will outgrow it. It becomes evident, however, that Jimmy himself has never outgrown his own homosexual proclivities and that denying them has turned him into a sort of spiritual and sexual eunuch. His failure to help Horace causes him to begin to reevaluate his entire life.
Jimmy serves as a foil to Horace, more or less the way Leopold Bloom served as a foil to Stephen Dedalus in James Joyce's classic novel...

Summary (Masterplots II: American Fiction Series, Revised Edition)
Alternating between April, 1984, narratives of Horace's experience with magic and December, 1985, narratives of a family visit to a dying cousin, A Visitation of Spirits tells the story of a sixteen-year-old African American boy who cannot transform himself away from homosexuality and so cannot continue to face his family and his community.
A Visitation of Spirits is divided into five major sections, each including April, 1984, and December, 1985, narratives. The story is told predominantly from a limited-omniscient perspective; the center of consciousness shifts within these sections among Horace, Jimmy, Zeke, and Ruth. Three segments entitled "Confession" (two from Jimmy, one from Horace) break the pattern of alternation, with each of the confessions showing the two figures wrestling with their own memories.
The 1985 narratives center on Jimmy, Aunt Ruth, and Uncle Zeke driving to see their cousin Asa, seriously ill in the hospital. These scenes reveal the family at work. Aunt Ruth and Uncle Zeke argue and accuse each other, with Jimmy trying to act the peacemaker; he is playing the role of clergyman rather awkwardly because he is first and foremost a nephew. Their journey takes them to a hospital; once there, Ruth cannot abide the falseness of those who would pray for Asa to live. Their journey home from the hospital finds them in a restaurant, where a white waitress and Ruth argue. The struggle between generations...

There are few things everyone can agree on. Welsh corgis are cute, black licorice tastes weird (even if you like it), and the Ninja Turtles are awesome. Leonardo, Donatello, Michaelangelo and Raphael have been kicking robot, ninja, mutant and alien butt for the better part of three decades. This, however, puts a lot of pressure on a Ninja Turtles video game. Especially considering that the TMNT franchise has spawned a dozen games, many of which are very highly regarded.
Does Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows for Xbox Live Arcade stand its ground? Or does it fail to be totally radical?

300's Zack Snyder brings Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' critically acclaimed comic book Watchmen to the big screen, courtesy of DC Comics and Warner Bros. Pictures. Set in an alternate universe circa 1985, the film's world is a highly unstable one where a nuclear war is imminent between America and Russia. Superheroes have long been made to hang up their tights thanks to the government-sponsored Keene Act, but that all changes with the death of The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a robust ex-hero commando whose mysterious free fall out a window perks the interest of one of the country's last remaining vigilantes, Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley). His investigation leads him to caution many of his other former costumed colleagues, including Dr. Manhattan, Night Owl (Patrick Wilson), Ozymandias (Matthew Goode), Sally Jupiter (Carla Gugino), and her daughter, The Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman). Heralded for bringing the world of superheroes into the literary world, Watchmen gave the super-powered mythos a real-life grounding that had been missing in mainstream comics to that point. The film adaptation had languished in one form of development hell or another for years after the book's release, with various directors on and off the project, including Terry Gilliam, David Hayter, and Darren Aronofsky, as well as Paul Greengrass, whose eventual dismissal stemmed from budget conflicts with the studio. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Add Jasper, Texas to top of Queue
The time: June 1998. The place: The sleepy town of Jasper, TX. Three young, self-styled white supremists overpower a 49-year-old black man named James Byrd Jr., chain him to the back of their pickup, and literally drag him to death. What follows is a media firestorm, exacerbated by scores of network and cable-TV news services, the grim pronouncements of so-called pundits, and the intrusion upon Jasper of several extremist activists, ranging from members of the Ku Klux Klan to the newly formed Black Panthers. As the frenzy continues, the heretofore peaceful, if somewhat tenuous, relationship between the white and black residents of Jasper is severely strained, with echoes of past racism resounding throughout the area. In the center of the controversy are two decent, hard-working public servants: R.C. Horn, the first black mayor of Jasper, and Billy Rowles, the town's white sheriff. Also profoundly affected by the appalling murder of Byrd are the respective parents of the victim and the killers. Happily, when the dust clears, justice is done (two of the murderers are condemned to death, the third sentenced to life imprisonment), and, instead of being wrenched apart, the black and white communities of Jasper draw closer together than they have ever been. Made for cable TV, this feature-length reenactment stars Louis Gossett Jr. as Horn and Jon Voight as Rowles. Although certain liberties are taken (the actor playing Byrd is clearly much younger than his real-life counterpart and the Black Panthers and KKK are incorrectly shown descending upon Jasper the same day), the film is, by and large, accurate. Better still, there is a minimum of preaching and proselytizing. Previewed at the Philadelphia Film Festival, Jasper, Texas was given its official Showtime network cable premiere on June 8, 2003 -- almost five years to the day after Byrd's death. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this comic fantasy for the family, Daniel (Mark Rendall) is a young boy who is having more than his share of problems -- his mother has died, he's having a hard time with bullies at school, and he wants a pet but his father, Steven (Nicholas Lea), isn't so sure it's a good idea. One night, Daniel wishes on a star for a cool pet who will be loyal and never forget him; the next morning, he wakes up to discover that an elephant named Lumpy has taken up residence in his backyard. Steven isn't keen on the idea of keeping an elephant as a pet and gives the animal to a local zoo, but Daniel hatches a plan to steal Lumpy back -- which is when the boy discovers his new friend has magical powers. Also released as The Incredible Elephant, The Impossible Elephant also stars Mia Sara. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Highway of Heartache
This weird and funny Canadian film has all the makings of a cult classic as it takes sharp stabs at C&W music, fundamentalist Christians, tabloid television, and our culture of victims. The queen victim in this film is Wynona-Sue Turnpike, an aspiring country singer. She finds obstacles for success in her cruelly abusive mother, and from a steady stream of cheatin' men whom she periodically shoots on live TV. Her interracial child was also recently kidnapped by the KKK. Small wonder that Wynona is always whining. At least her experiences provide her with a wealth of country song ideas. She is not any happier after she marries her dream-boat, Crawfish, a talk show host. Her only real friends are her "beautiful little cigarettes." ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Sidney Poitier makes his long-overdue return to films in the 1988 thriller Shoot to Kill. Poitier plays an FBI agent, on the trail of an elusive killer. Reluctantly teamed with tracker Tom Berenger, the citified Poitier braves the wilds of the Pacific Northwest in search of his quarry. For Berenger, the pursuit is personal; the killer, whose identity is not immediately revealed, has joined a hunting party being guided through the country by the tracker's girlfriend Kirstie Alley. Though only bearing the slightest resemblance to Real Life (you'll love the scene between lifelong city-dweller Poitier and a huge grizzly bear), Shoot to Kill delivers the goods in the suspense department. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Assault and Matrimony
One can only hope that the real-life marriage of actors Michael Tucker and Jill Eikenberry is more harmonious than the one depicted in the made-for-TV Assault and Matrimony. Tucker plays a meek New England accountant and Eikenberry portrays his nitpicking wife-who becomes even nitpickier when the couple purchases a historic home. When he's driven to distraction by Eikenberry's nagging, Tucker hatches a murder scheme. At the same time, she comes up with a plot to bump off her husband. Adapted from James Anderson's novel by John Binder, this frenetic farce first aired September 28, 1987. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Marlo Thomas fully justifies her star status in the made-for-television Nobody's Child. Ms. Thomas portrays the real-life Marie Balter, a Massachusetts woman consigned to a mental hospital after a suicide attempt at age 16. For the next 20 years, Marie is and out of the institution, mostly under the care of a sensitive doctor (Caroline Cava) who treats her for panic disorder and depression. Finally able to curb her inner demons without the use of drugs and therapy, Marie leaves the hospital for good, hoping to pursue a normal life. She falls in love with another ex-mental patient (Ray Baker), and strives successfully to earn a college diploma (she later became a health administrator). Aside from Marlo Thomas' Emmy-winning performance, Nobody's Child boasts the stunning camerawork of longtime Ingmar Bergman associate Sven Nykvist. One scene, in which Marie Balter imagines she sees serpents emerging from a typewriter, is as frightening a piece of celluloid as has ever been presented on television. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Glitter Dome
Produced for HBO, The Glitter Dome is based on the crime novel by Joseph Wambaugh. Manhattan detectives Al Mackey (James Garner) is forced to wade his way through the glamorous cesspool known as Hollywood. Mackey's quarry is the unknown person who brutally murdered studio mogul Malcolm Sinclair (Alistair MacDuff). Providing a brief diversion for the diligent Mackey is Margot Kidder as eccentric young actress Willie. Also on hand is James Garner's Rockford Files cohort Stuart Margolin, who, in addition to directing the film, plays the murder victim's smarmy nephew. When first telecast on November 11, 1984, The Glitter Dome was criticized for a brief bondage sequence involving Margot Kidder: in retrospect, however, the scene serves to affirm the integrity and decency of the character played by Garner. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Cops, secretaries, and prisoners stuck in a soon-to-be-shuttered L.A. police station fight off a horde of murderous gang members in director John Carpenter's homage to Howard Hawks. When police officer Bishop (Austin Stoker) is left in charge of Precinct 13 on the last day it's open, he isn't prepared for the onslaught of a murderous street gang who have come into the possession of an enormous arsenal of guns. Finding himself trapped in the precinct with a pair of secretaries (Laurie Zimmer and Nancy Loomis), a few civilians and a handful of prisoners, Bishop is unable to call for help because the phones have already been disconnected and the precinct is in a run-down, out-of-the-way neighborhood. Holding out for a rescue, he and his fellow prisoners band together to barricade themselves in and hold the bandits at bay. But as the casualties mount and the supplies run low, they must choose between a daring escape attempt, a fiery offensive, or certain death. The sophomore feature from auteur-in-the-making John Carpenter, Assault on Precinct 13 reunited the director with Douglas H. Knapp, his cinematographer on 1974's Dark Star. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

Panthers rally to sweep Denison
DENISON — Creston earned its second Hawkeye 10 match victory of the season with a 25-23, 25-15, 25-10 road sweep of Denison-Schleswig Tuesday night.
Shelby Pieper served eight in a row as Denison's first server of the night, but Creston quickly snared the momentum with its own seven-point run, and from there it was close until the Panthers finished off the two-point win.
"Our passing got to where it needed to be and Hanna (Luther) put some decent balls up," coach Polly Luther said. "Amy Dunphy came into that game and served well and went across the front row for us. Her serving was tremendous. I'd say she's back."

My statement was that the money was coming from outside the area. No "conspiracy" there. That money is still coming from outside the area, even if it is an "in-law." It is still a contributor from outside the city -- a person who is influencing our city's elections with money. That's the point some have worked so hard to miss. Maybe he has no standing in this election other than to elevate his daughter to "small city mayor's wife." But, HE won't have to live under Mayor Alexander, now will he?
You know, had it been $500, or even $1,000 no one would have noticed. But that kind of money can influence the election, especially as the single highest individual contributor (and contribution) for this one (that we know of so far).
In a low-information, low-turnout voting area like San Angelo, sometimes the bigger sign (name recognition) wins. And you can buy bigger signs with more money, and buy more air time, too.
Man, it didn't take long for the 'Paulistas' to circle the wagons and attack, did it?
Just trying their hand at deception.

DEER LODGE - Former NFL quarterback and Great Falls football star Ryan Leaf has been transferred from a substance-abuse treatment center in Lewistown to the Montana State Prison in Deer Lodge.
Leaf was sentenced in June to five years to the Montana Department of Corrections for drug and burglary charges in Cascade County. He had been residing in the Nexus Treatment Center in Lewistown since shortly after he was sentenced.
Dawn Handa, regional probation and parole administrator in Great Falls, said on Thursday that Leaf has been "terminated" from the treatment program in Lewistown and has been transferred to the state prison after he was found guilty of "behavior that violated conditions of his drug treatment placement," including threatening a program staff member.
Leaf was arrested in Great Falls on April 1, 2012, and charged with one count of burglary, one count of theft, two counts of felony criminal possession of dangerous drugs, and booked on probation violation. That arrest came just two days after Leaf was arrested on similar charges.
In June, Leaf was sentenced to seven years with the Montana Department of Corrections, with two of those years suspended.
During the sentencing, Leaf's attorney asked that substance abuse treatment be included in the sentence, stating, "I believe Ryan is ready to face his addiction head-on."

Hello,Can anybody tell me How to create Assembly only projects or Linear Assembly Projects on CCSv5.1 . Is there any file or link through which I can get starting help.
Hi Arun,
There are no special projects for the assembly or linear assembly.
In the usual projects itself one would add or include these assembly or linear assembly files.
Venugopala Krishna
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please click the Verify Answer button on this post if it answers your question.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Venu,Thanks for your reply. I am sorry to say but your Reply increases my Doubt even 10 times. Can you Attach some projects like that Take one example of simple Dot product or matrix multiplication in which Linear assembly has been used. I want to check how these things are being handled. I don't know why is this just a Chance or what but whenever I am asking any question related with Linear Assembly here, either I am not getting any reply or not getting any Satisfied response.
I am sorry for my little knowledge, But I really want to understand this thing on Linear Assembly level.
Thanks and regards,Arun
Can you go through http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spru187o/spru187o.pdf esp Chapter 4.
Hello Venu,Thanks for your link. Ok, Now, my doubt is I have two files one is .c file for c code and second is for assembly with .asm. Now When I create empty or RTSC project in Code composer studio, How Will I use these two Files, I mean, If I only want Linear assembly to use because I want to put my data in registers only, Not anywhere else, so How would I do that. Does Empty RTSc project can be run with Assembly code, Will it behave like same as with normal c code, or something else is the way to deal with it.
Hello venu,Sorry for my little knowledge! I have not deal with Assembly before in my life. As far as I know I have to call that dotp function assembly in my Assembler code, But How to do that in case of 6678 DSP I don't know. Can you help me in that.
Arun, all your assembly code should be C callable and follow the C calling convention. Basically it means that variables passed into the function need to come in through specific registers, the ones passed out need to go out through specific registers, one register is used for Stack Point, one register is used for Return pointer and that's it. You create you code w/ the _func name and build as in the documentation that's been provided to you in other threads.
I'm not sure what specifcally you're trying to achieve w/ 'Put data in registers only', it's got to be in memory at some point and everything is executed out of the registers space (Memory -> Registers - Processed - Registers -> Memories) no issues leaving them in registers when multiple processing needs to be done and this is typically done even when using C. As data sets get large you'll quickly see the need to push the data back out to memory.
As for this, you'll want to create a .c file such as main.c that has a main() function so it's used as the entry point and all related C_init assocated with it. Within main() have it call your assembly function that you've created with assembly or linear assembly but use the C calling convention as mentioned.
The reason you're having such a problem getting these questions answered is because what you're wanting to do isn't really feasible 'Run w/ data only in registers', 'build an assembly only project'. Linear assembly and assembly are there to optimize performance of key routines, they are still meant to be C callable routines and called from a project with C functions. The architecture is designed so that you can quickly get data from memory into registers, process it and put the data back into memories to free up those registers. Please keep these in mind.
If you haven't done so already, I'd suggest taking a step back making a simply C code with C function to do what you're wanting to do. Then make an assembly function that does the same thing, make it c callable, then call the function from within C.
Best Regards,

Hello Chad,First of All Thank you very much for taking pain to explain me in all this detailed way. I was looking for such a detailed explanation. Next, Actually I want to deal with registers, because I have been using 6678 since long and I have tried to run some codes including Matrix to Matrix multiplication as well. I was basically interested in performance behavior and throughput's by that want to understand its Architecture. I have written codes, Played with memory on RTSC projects by keeping in L1, L2, MSMCSRAM. Now, I was only interested in small data just 2by2 matrix and put in registers and see all of these so I can get some ideas.
Anyways, Thank you very much! Let me try to deal with Assembly as the way you told me.
