Garth Brooks is one of my favorite singers, and I've practically worn out the "Fresh Horses" CD on which "I've Got Friends in Low Places" appears.
I often hear a song and it stays in my head, emerging months or years later when I'm doing something that's really fine.
Chris Serraro aced the 155-yard fourth hole at the Brunswick Plantation Azalea Course May 27. He used a 5-iron. It was his second hole-in-one. His playing partners were Walt Doney, Bob Castriota and Mike Lach.
The Brierwood member-guest tourney was played May 14-15. The format was best ball of the twosome, net and gross. Flight 1, low net: 1. Lane and Milazzo tied with Davis and Brkal, 54. In a sudden-death playoff, Lane and Milazzo won the title on the second hole. 2. Groff and Roach, 61. Low gross: 1. Holesa and Brennan, 74; 2. Doyle and Warren, 79; 3. Arney and Fitz-Gerald, 83.
Golf is a fabulous, wonderful sport. It's played outdoors in all kinds of weather. There's beautiful scenery and challenges aplenty for the expert and the beginner.
An 8-year-old can play; an 80-year-old can play. In fact, an 8-year-old boy can play a match against his 80-year-old grandpa. Name another sport where that can happen. Not basketball or tennis or baseball.
A golfer can play in a tournament with 120 other golfers, in a foursome of friends or by himself.
Beachcombers results from May 8. Low gross: 90, Ed Kinney; 91, Hal Riebesehl. Low nets: 66, Ed Kinney; 67, Bob Smith. Team modified Stableford: +12, Kinney, Riebesehl and Smith. Golfer of the week: Ed Kinney.
Beachcombers results from May 15 at Carolina Shores. Low gross: 88, Hal Riebesehl; 89, Bob Smith. Low net: 64, Bob Smith; 71, Riebesehl. Team two-best ball: Smith and Jim Beairsto won 1-up over Riebesehl and Stu Cleveland. In the four-man, two best nets, Cleveland, Smith, Riebesehl and Beairsto were 26-under par. Bob Smith was golfer of the week.
The weekly tournament was May 5. Format was one best net on the par 5s, two best nets on the par 4s and three best nets on the par 3s. Bill Kosanke, Chuck Dixon, Bob Mularczyk and Larry Agrimonti were first at -31. Cal Calhoon, John McGuirt, Ken Horton and Jack Blair tied for second at -26 with Greg Strickland, Alan Morrissey, Bill Healy and Eric Nelson. John McGuirt won two skins. Ken Horton, Ted Lide, Bill Kosanke and Larry Agrimonti each won one skin.
The Brick Landing Ladies Golf Association had its annual Rally for the Cure golf tournament April 23. Fifty-four men and women participated and raised $1,860 for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which supports breast cancer research and awareness programs.
On Sept. 12, 2002, the very first Golf Gab ran in this newspaper. Since then, I have had a whole lot of fun writing about golf-related topics. I've met professional golfers (even Arnold Palmer once), superintendents, golf course architects, new golfers, single-digit players and ordinary people who triumph over diversity to play the game of golf.
On trips, I've taken my notebook and camera with me and written about golf in Arizona and Bermuda and Texas and Georgia. If I ever get to Scotland (my dream of all dreams), I will report from there.
Slow play is everyone's nightmare.
I've written about it before and I will continue to write about it annually because, first of all, it bugs me and, secondly, folks ask me to write about it. They want to hang my slow-play column in the locker room of their club. They want their slow-playing friends to get the hint… hint… HINT!
PINETOPS—The West Brunswick High School golf team finished eighth out of 11 teams in the Class 3-A East Regional on Monday at Maccripine Country Club.
Playing a 6,200-yard, par-71 course on a windy day with tight pin placements made the state-qualifying tournament a challenge for all. (One foursome a West player was in had to stop play for 30 minutes because of a thunderstorm.)
Led by medalist Spencer Whitt (70), Fike was the runaway winner (293). Five of Fike's players shot in the 70s. Hunt second (324) and Northern Nash third (325).

So this sock business is pretty fun. I turned the heel on the "class sock" last night and, I have to say, the feeling of accomplishment that goes along with a successful turn is out of all proportion to its actual difficulty. Here's the mini-sock monster:
I'm really quite pleased with the whole process; no wonder people knit so many socks and enjoy it so much. I have to admit that this phenomenon of the many-socks always kind of baffled me. 38 pairs?! How could one knit so many socks? Now I get it …
And, even better, I've found a use for all of that Patons yarn I bought a while back. It's not sock yarn, but it seems quite workable on #2 needles.
I'm still waiting for Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles.
What is that behind the sock monster?
Oh yes, it is another cup of coffee …
but just one. I even used the small pot to avoid possible multipile-cup mishaps. And I'm going to eat something. It really was just the comibination of empty stomach + 3 cups of coffee + heat + exams anxiety + LYS time-wasting that caused the problems. I'm sure of it.
You don't want to know about the book. Trust me. It's called Discourse Networks 1800 / 1900. That should be enough.

text: Home- Offices and Services- Registrar- Degree Works- Degree Works Faculty FAQ Degree Works Information and FAQs Faculty and Staff Instructions (navigation and features) Menu Menu Overview What is Degree Works? Degree Works is a web-based tool designed to help students and advisers monitor progress toward degree completion. Degree Works uses degree requirements from the University Catalogue and re-organizes the student's transcript categorically to produce an easy-to-read audit. The audit is divided into blocks to show all of the necessary requirements and how courses taken or in-progress count toward those requirements. Each block contains checkboxes to easily identify what courses and requirements are complete, almost complete, or still outstanding. Degree Works can be used as part of advising sessions to determine course selections (in conjunction with the Course Offerings for the term) and review graduation requirements. What are the benefits of Degree Works? Degree Works is intended to support and enhance Colgate's commitment to academic advising. Students and advisers are able to: View detailed requirements for the degree, major, and minor See how completed, in-progress, and approved transfer/AP course work applies to degree requirements Identify courses needed to complete specific degree requirements View cumulative and major/minor GPAs Plan course selection for future semesters using the Look Ahead feature Generate What-If audits to view hypothetical major and/or minor changes based on current and projected course work Calculate a GPA based on projected performance for the term Calculate the grade combination(s) needed to achieve a target GPA Degree Works is intended to support and complement academic advising but not to replace face-to-face advising sessions or the University Catalogue. How do I access Degree Works? Faculty members: from the Advisor Dashboard in Colgate portal, click on the degree audit icon (grad cap/diploma) next to the students name on your advisee list, or click the "View (student's name) in Degree Works" link within the students portal record. If you wish to access Degree Works without clicking into a particular student's record, you can use the "Go to Degree Works Home Page" link above your advisee list or select Degree Works from the Faculty Toolbox tab. Administrative staff: from the Colgate portal, select Degree Works from the Dean's Dashboard tab, then click the Degree Works link. How do I view an advisee's audit? If you have officially assigned advisees, you can click the grad cap/diploma icon in your advisee list in the portal, which is a direct link to each student's degree audit. You can also search within degree works using the Find button, or enter the ID number next to the Find button. See the Faculty and Staff Instructions (navigation and features) at the top of this page for full instructions. I signed a student's declaration form but he/she is not showing up in my portal advisee list. When will I have access to the graduation cap/diploma icon? Advisees will appear in your advisee list as soon as the approved declaration form is received and processed by the registrar's office. If you need to advise a student before they appear in your list, you can search for the student by ID or name, using the Find button in the upper left corner of the window. Can I view an audit of a student who is not my advisee? Unlike the current Faculty and Advisor Dashboards, Degree Works will allow you to search for and access the audit of any currently enrolled Colgate student, even if s/he is not your advisee or in your course, provided that you have legitimate educational interest (per the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act [FERPA], see below). We recognize that much academic advising at Colgate is done informally—for instance, meeting with a prospective major or discussing graduate plans with a senior seminar/research student who is not your official advisee—and this enhanced access supports that important function. To find a student who isn't an advisee, click the Find button on the upper left corner of the window. You can search for a population of students (e.g., by major and class year) or you can search for an individual student by name or ID. After you enter your desired search criteria, click Search to populate your results at the bottom. If you have multiple results, you can select which students to view by clicking or unclicking the check box next to their name. Once you've identified your population, click OK to bring up the audit. Under FERPA, a school official has a "legitimate educational interest" if the official needs to review an education record to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities in support of Colgate's academic mission. Faculty and staff members with access to student education records are legally responsible for protecting the privacy of the student by using information only for legitimate educational purposes to advise or assist students. An advising relationship that meets the requirements of legitimate educational interest can be defined formally, when a student is officially assigned to an adviser, or informally, when a student outside a department or program needs advising that requires access to his or her education record. Please be advised that neither curiosity nor personal interest qualifies as legitimate educational interest. More information about FERPA can be found on the registrar's web page (http://www.colgate.edu/offices-and-services/registrar/ferpa). How current is the information in a Degree Works audit? The information in Degree Works is refreshed every time you access an audit. If the information isn't up-to-date it could be due to outstanding paperwork (e.g., declaration paperwork that hasn't reached the registrar's office yet) or an outstanding transcript for transfer work. Can a student register for classes in Degree Works? Degree Works provides information on degree requirements and assists with planning for registration, but students must still register through Banner Self-Service. Degree Works lists all courses that will fulfill outstanding requirements, but does not provide information about specific course offerings for a particular semester, nor term-specific information, such as meeting dates, times and instructor information. Students must still use the Course Offerings each term to identify the courses for which they plan to register. How do I Exit Degree Works? From your degree audit window, select the Exit degree Works tab in the upper right corner of the window. FERPA FERPA Information for faculty and staff Degree Works users are required to comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which was originally passed by Congress in 1974. FERPA is designed to protect the privacy of students by limiting third-party access to student education records. Please review the FERPA information on the Office of the Registrar web page (www.colgate.edu/offices-and-services/registrar/ferpa) prior to accessing Degree Works for the first time. Under FERPA, a school official has a "legitimate educational interest" if the official needs to review an education record to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities in support of Colgate's academic mission. Faculty and staff members with access to student education records are legally responsible for protecting the privacy of the student by using information only for legitimate educational purposes to advise or assist students. An advising relationship that meets the requirements of legitimate educational interest can be defined formally, when a student is officially assigned to an adviser, or informally, when a student outside a department or program needs advising that requires access to his or her education record. Please be advised that neither curiosity nor personal interest qualifies as legitimate educational interest. Degree Audit How is the degree audit structured? The audit is organized into categorical sections called blocks. The first block provides student demographic information and photo, and is displayed at the top of the audit, followed by requirement blocks: Degree in Bachelor of Arts summarizes the requirements to earn a degree including course credit, general education, major, and GPA. Students who have not yet declared a major will have a block for "Seeking a Bachelor of Arts Degree." This will change to the specific degree block when a major is formally declared. General Education Requirements summarizes all of the requirements that fall under the Liberal Arts Core Curriculum. Common Core Requirements details each CORE area (i.e., Scientific Perspectives, Communities and Identities, Legacies of the Ancient World, and Challenges of Modernity). Global Engagements specifies if the requirement has been satisfied and, if not, directs students to view the Course Offerings to find GLEN courses approved for a specific term. Areas of Inquiry details each area and displays completed or in-progress course work counting toward this requirement. Writing Requirement For most students, the writing requirement is satisfied upon admission. If not, this block will display as incomplete until a qualifying WRIT course is successfully completed. Foreign Language Requirement For most students, the language requirement is satisfied upon admission. If not, this block will display as incomplete until a qualifying (200-level) language course is successfully completed. Physical Education Requirement shows how many remaining PHED units are needed to complete the requirement. Major and minor displays detailed requirements within each major and/or minor. Specific components of the major or minor are listed individually and are checked off as the student progresses. Major/Minor GPA appears only for those majors and minors that count all courses in the department/program toward the GPA. Otherwise, the student's major or minor GPA comprises only the courses used to satisfy the major or minor requirements and can be found in the regular major or minor block header. Additional/Elective Courses lists those that do not satisfy any requirement or are not needed to fulfill a requirement (e.g., another course is being used). Insufficient Courses lists any failed, withdrawn, or repeated courses that cannot be used to fulfill a requirement. In-progress Courses lists all registered courses that have not yet received a grade. After registration, and before the end of the current term, it will list both fall and spring courses. Not Counted lists courses that are taken out of sequence or have other issues that should be addressed with the registrar's office. If there are courses listed in Not Counted, please contact the registrar's office immediately. Notes may be listed for some students. If there is a note, it will appear at the bottom of the audit, or you can click the Notes tab at the top. Notes are only entered by the registrar's office and are visible to anyone who has access to the audit. What view formats are available for an audit? The Student View is the default format and contains the most comprehensive information about a student's academic program and progress toward degree completion. The Registration Checklist view condenses the audit to show the outstanding requirements only. To change from the default Student View to the Registration Checklist, locate the Format drop down menu above the audit, select Registration Checklist, then click View. What do the symbols signify next to each requirement on the audit? = complete = not complete = will be complete when in-progress courses are successfully completed = nearly complete - see your adviser @ = any course number * = course is either a pre-requisite or requires a pre-requisite IP = course in progress The legend also appears at the bottom of each audit. How is a Degree Works audit different from a transcript? Degree Works uses degree requirements from the University Catalogue and re-organizes the chronological transcript into categorical blocks. Unlike the transcript, which is the final, official documentation of a student's academic record and degree completion at Colgate, the Degree Works audit is an unofficial advisement tool. The official transcript is issued through the Office of the Registrar upon written request from the student. How does Degree Works decide which courses to use to satisfy requirements? The degree audit places each course using a "best fit" scenario. Often multiple possibilities exist, and Degree Works may not choose the same configuration that you may have chosen. This does not mean that it could not be used in another configuration, rather that the tool is providing a possible scenario. The registrar's office has no control over the best fit scenarios, and these may change as the student registers and completes additional courses. The best fit scenario also applies to students with two majors (or major and minor) that can share courses. Students must have 7 unique courses for a major. If the combination of shared courses is not appropriate, please contact the registrar's office (email@example.com). Where do I find my advisee's major and/or minor GPA? Most major and minor GPAs are listed in the major/minor block header and are a calculated GPA based on coursework used to fulfill major/minor requirements only. Some majors and minors count all courses taken in the subject area of the department/program, whether they count toward a specific requirement in that major or not. In these cases, you will also see a separate Major/Minor GPA Coursework block below the major/minor requirement block. If present, this block should be used to determine the student's major/minor GPA. What if the major or minor requirements listed for my advisee appear to be incorrect? Major and minor requirement blocks are determined by the declaration year which appears in the major or minor block header. The student is expected to complete the requirements in place for that year. If you believe the declaration year is recorded incorrectly, please contact the registrar's office. How will transfer and AP credit appear in the audit? Approved transfer and AP credit will factor into the audit where appropriate. Approved transfer credit or AP credit will appear on the audit once the Office of the Registrar has received the official transcript or score report. Why isn't a transfer course fulfilling a requirement? It is possible that the course was not approved to satisfy a specific requirement or the Office of the Registrar was not notified. It is also possible that all specific requirements have been met and the course counts only as a degree elective. If you have additional questions regarding transfer credit, please contact the registrar's office (degreeworks.colgate.edu). What do I do if the information on my advisee's audit is incorrect? Please e-mail the Office of the Registrar (firstname.lastname@example.com) regarding errors or discrepancies in the audit. Provide the student's name and information on the error or discrepancy (e.g., courses within a requirement not coded correctly, courses not applying where expected, discrepancy in student's major or minor declaration year, etc.). What if my advisee has been approved for a substitution/exception for a requirement, but it does not appear on the audit? Course substitution or exception requests must be initiated by the department chair/program director and submitted to the registrar's office. The registrar's office will confirm that the substitution/exception is consistent with general university policy. Once it has been cleared, it will be applied to the student's record by the registrar's office and will appear on the audit. Does the audit constitute clearance for graduation? The Degree Works audit is not official notification of degree requirement completion. Final approval of Colgate degree completion resides with the Office of the Registrar. Please contact the Office of the Registrar if you have questions regarding the degree audit or official degree completion status. What is the Class History? Class History provides a chronological list of all completed and in-progress course work. The list is ordered by term and includes grade and course credit information. This is not a transcript and does not provide term GPAs or a running cumulative GPA. To view Class History, click the link located above the audit. How do I print a degree audit? Use the Print tab at the top of the page or you can choose the View PDF button just above the Student Information block. What-If Audit What is the What-If feature? The What-If feature allows you to hypothetically change a major or minor. The What-If audit will show what course work is required for the new major or minor, what courses they have taken that satisfy requirements, and what requirements are still outstanding. How do I run a What-If audit? Select What-If from the side menu options in the far left column. Choose the current or a future declaration year (required), then select a major and/or minor. If the major or minor requires an emphasis, you must also select the corresponding emphasis. You may choose several majors and minors to view in one What-If scenario. (Per university policy, students may officially declare two majors or one major and one minor.) If desired, add projected course work to the What-If audit by entering course information in the Choose Your Future Courses section, below the major and minor pick lists. Once you have chosen the desired major(s) and/or minor(s) and entered projected course work, if desired, click the Process What-If button at the top of the page. Why am I receiving an error when I run a "What-If" scenario? The "What-If" tool requires that you make a selection in the "Declaration Year" field. Failure to select a year will result in an error. My advisee ran a What-If audit, can I see it from my screen? What-If scenarios are not stored in Degree Works so you can only see the results if you work through a What-If procedure together, or if the student saved a PDF or printed a copy. If a student uses the What-If feature, does it mean they have declared or changed their major/minor? The student must complete and submit an approved declaration form to the registrar's office to formally declare a major or minor. The What-If function is for information purposes only and does not constitute declaration. You will see the header "What-If Audit" displayed at the top of the audit whenever an audit is run on a What-If scenario. Look Ahead What is the Look Ahead feature? This feature allows you to enter projected course work and see how it would apply to the current audit. This could be used to help plan for registration in future terms. How do I use the Look Ahead feature? Select Look Ahead from the side menu options in the far left column. Enter a subject and course number and click Add Course. You may repeat the process until all desired courses are entered, then click the Process New button at the top of the page. This will generate a new audit with the projected course work marked in blue and PLAN indicated in the grade column. The What-If audit also includes Look Ahead functionality. GPA Calculators What are the GPA Calculator options? Graduation Calculator determines the average GPA the student will need in their remaining credits to reach their target GPA upon graduation. Enter the current GPA (should default in, if available), credits remaining, total number of credits required (32), and the desired GPA. Click Calculate to view the average GPA needed over the course of the remaining credits. Term Calculator displays a student's estimated cumulative GPA based on hypothetical grade information. Enter the current earned credits, current cumulative GPA, and choose an anticipated grade for each in-progress course. (In-progress courses should default in, but can be edited if needed.) Once all of the information is entered, click Calculate to see a revised cumulative GPA based on the estimates you provided. Please note that cumulative GPA calculations in Degree Works are estimates only and may not be used for awarding of university honors, scholarships, etc. Official cumulative GPAs are recalculated by the registrar's office at the end of each term and will be used as the GPA of record. Major and minor GPAs are for student and departmental use only and are not a part of a student's permanent record. Why can't I select a grade of "S" in the Term Calculator? "S" and "U" grades do not count in the GPA. Remove courses from the course list for which the S/U grading mode is being used prior to calculating the GPA.

The National Cemetery of the Pacific - "The Punchbowl"
This is the only cemetery I have ever visited which was formed from the natural crater of a volcano! It is beautiful, and very different from other veteran's cemeteries because instead of rows of crosses the grave markers lie flat on the ground. The natural beauty of the crater can be appreciated because the graves are not immediately visible. On the slopes of the crater are columbarium for cremated remains. In letters I read written in the 1800s, John O. Dominis and other guests at Washington Place used to ride horses up to the Punchbowl. It must have been a wonderful natural landmark, even 150 years ago.
The cemetery was opened in 1949 for bodies shipped from overseas in the wake of World War II. Over 13,000 soldiers who died in the Pacific Theater of WWII are buried here. There are also the unmarked remains of soldiers who died at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. Soldiers from Korea and Vietnam, also considered Pacific wars, are also buried here.
One of the finest views of Oahu can be seen from a viewing platform on the highest rim of the crater.

Joanne Oldham has worked primarily in the graphics arts field over the years, and many of her painted and collaged visuals have appeared in the art of some of our favorite Bonnie 'Prince' Billy album jackets, liners and posters - perhaps you remember the quiet beauty that is Lie Down In The Light? How about the Cairo Gang-collaborative wash of 'verb surrounding Wondershow Of The World? Yep, both bear the mark of Mrs. Oldham. She's been doing this for some time now, and so it seemed like a good moment to begin the retrospective collection. Enter Sammy Harkham, contemporary comics artist, BPB artist (See I See a Darkness and Ease Down the Road, just for starters) and curator of one of the great visual arts anthologies of our day, Kramer's Ergot. He collected twenty of Joanne's most enervating pieces (in full color and black and white) as well as excerpts from her memoir, "What happened on my winter vacation." It's called, Good Morning #1, a 40-page vision from the world that has helped shape the Bonnie 'Prince' as represented on several LPs, CDs, and the like- a world unto itself, actually - and a vision well worth visiting while you wait for Bonny's Everly Bros. cover vamp with Dawn McCarthy, What The Brothers Sang, to drop! So c'mon, bring your card, and check one out of the DC library, here!

Aiming to create a new standard for next-generation batteries for notebook and handheld computers that can handle the demands placed on today's hardware, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Wednesday issued the first full draft of a new specification.
IEEE P1625, "Standard for Rechargeable Batteries for Mobile Computers," seeks to take a "systems approach" to improving the reliability of next-generation Lithium-Ion and Lithium-Ion polymer batteries, in order to make those batteries more capable of handling the demands of the latest hardware technologies, like the need for more power and greater energy density, and the ability to withstand more frequent charge-discharge cycles. The specification also aims to help the next-generation batteries tolerate usage styles that can cause higher operating temperatures and exposure to mechanical shock, vibration and other stresses.
"Other battery standards tend to emphasize the cell or the pack," said Jeff Layton, chairman of the IEEE P1625 Working Group. "This will be the first standard that seeks to improve the experience by addressing the entire system from individual cells to the overall device. This approach makes a lot of sense because the interactions between the battery cell, battery pack, and computer require a close look at the operating envelope for all elements alone and in concert."
Layton said IEEE P1625 will be a voluntary standard that specifies the minimum guidelines for the design, validation, manufacture and testing of battery cells and packs, as well as the computer itself.
"It will address such areas as qualification, manufacturing process control, lithium-ion battery chemistries, packaging and end-user notification," Layton said.
The IEEE said the draft standard is based on the experience of industry leaders involved in mobile computer cells, packs and systems. The working group itself has 18 members, including: Battery-Biz, Compal, Dell, Dynapack, Fedco Electronics, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Inventec, Motorola, National Semiconductor, Panasonic, Quanta, Samsung, Sanyo, Sony, Solectron, Texas Instruments and Wistron.
The specification's status as a full draft indicates it has been completed, and is now circulating among the working group's member companies for comment. Once those comments have been incorporated in the draft, the IEEE said it expects to issue a revised draft for broader industry review in October. The organization aims to complete the standard in the first half of 2004.

- 1 Systemtap Static Probes
- 1.1 Summary
- 1.2 Owner
- 1.3 Current status
- 1.4 Detailed Description
- 1.5 Benefit to Fedora
- 1.6 Scope
- 1.7 How To Test
- 1.8 User Experience

Systemtap Static Probes
Systemtap allows event tracing of programs when they have static probes inserted. This allows for tracing specifics of an application on a higher level that is meaningful to the application user so they don't have to know the exact source code details for tracing what is happening.
- Name: Mark Wielaard
- email: email@example.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 13
- Last updated: 15 Dec 2009
- Percentage of completion: 50%
- systemtap-sdt-devel 1.0 is now available.
- java (since 1:1.6.0-21.b16) and postgresql (since 8.3.6-4) have had static probes enabled.
- Tracking bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546295
- Some experiments showed some greater than expected impact on performance in the dormant case. So for each package identified we need to do some benchmarking to make sure there is zero overhead in to normal case. (Add any relevants benchmarks to the scopes section under the relevant package please).
- Identified deficiencies upstream:
* [PR10013] support ENABLED sdt probe macro * [PR10601] user-space deref/registers in loc2c (i386 mainly, but could affect x86_64 and other arches also)
Detailed Description
By packaging a new version of systemtap, that enables programs that already have static dtrace probe markers in their sources and by making those packages build depend on the new systemtap-sdt-devel package and recompiling them with probe points enabled, users of those packages will be able to trace any high level events that these packages provide.
Benefit to Fedora
It will be easier for developers and users to observe what is really happening on their system on a higher (application) level.
- Work with upstream to identify any issues with the new capabilities while we activate probes in packages.
- Package new version of Systemtap (including new subpackage systemtap-sdt-devel).
- Identify packages that already include static user probes (see below)
- Work with package maintainer to enable them in the Fedora build spec file.
- Add documentation on enabled probes and how to use them with a systemtap tapset.
Currently identified packages:

- Profile Firefox using SystemTap on DTrace probes: ProfilingFirefox
- mysql 6.0.8: really new alpha version from mysql.com has probes. However, the version in fedora 5.0.67 doesn't. A backport would be required. Won't be in next fedora
- apachetop-0.12.6 (newer httpd have patches directly [1] - note needs some build tweaking)
perl-5.10.0: implemented as an out-of-tree patch to the core (5.10.1 has some, see INSTALL)
- Python-2.6: implemented as an out-of-tree patch to the core (Issue4111)
- --Dmalcolm 00:17, 1 December 2009 (UTC): if we do Python 2, we should also look at doing Python 3; see Features/Python3F13
- Initial work at FUDCon Toronto
- Tracking in our downstream bugzilla here
- TODO: Benchmark the impact of the probe points: http://code.google.com/p/unladen-swallow/wiki/Benchmarks
Ideas for python probes:
- function calls/returns (this is what the dtrace probe has)
- GIL events: instrument the raw function to claim/release of the lock, then capture the times at which it happens, then render stats
- threads starting/stopping
- bytecode execution metrics: e.g. trace individual bytecodes; how often does LOAD_GLOBAL get invoked
- exceptions being thrown
- unhandled exceptions
- arenas being claimed/freed
- dictionaries switching to inefficient form: http://lewk.org/blog/python-dictionary-optimizations
- _warnings.c: do_warn() (e.g. whole-system python3 warnings for all python 2 running on your system)
- py-level backtraces
- php-5.2.8: implemented as an add-on module (shared library listed in /etc/php.ini) that intercepts internal php interpreter function pointers and wraps those calls with markers
- ruby-1.8.6-p287: similar to php, but richer & far more complicated
See http://ruby-dtrace.rubyforge.org/
- ghc very recently got some static probe support see http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/DTrace (not tried to build yet).
It seems as if several of the above were dtrace-instrumented in code that was never merged into the upstream versions of the package, but instead represented as run-time add-ons or private patches for Solaris distributions. Disappointing, but perhaps we can do better and engage the respective upstream teams. This will of course take time and panache.
At least the patches tend to be very small so we have some freedom to choose between approaches (adding STAP_PROBE/whatever hooks directly to the core upstream code; or fedora local patches; or add-on shared libraries like for php/httpd).
Another approach worth considering is adding tapsets that map process.mark() events to process.function/statement() to approximate the dtrace out-of-tree patches.
How To Test
Whether systemtap and static markers are working in general can be tested by installing systemtap, kernel-debuginfo and the systemtap-testsuite. Running sudo make installcheck in /usr/share/systemtap/testsuite
When applications get static markers enabled we should add them to a testing page listing:
- Package install instructions.
- Setup and sample run of the application
- A reference to the probe names.
- And an simple example stap invocation listing markers that can be enabled.
Question: Is there a convention/template for adding such test pages for test days?
Answer: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Create
User Experience
For packages that have static probes enabled users will be able to trace high-level events, like for example database transactions, through stap.
- A new version of systemtap with the systemtap-sdt-devel subpackage.
- Any package wishing to expose existing probes in its (upstream) sources depending on systemtap-sdt-devel and adding an --enable-dtrace or equivalent to its spec file.
- Not required for this feature, but since systemtap uses debuginfo, this feature is enhanced by the Debug Info Revamp Feature.
Contingency Plan
Even if all the tracing will not work, packages that are converted to provide static probes will not be impacted since the probe points have (near) zero overhead, so in the worse case some packages were recompiled to enable the feature, but users will still not be able to use it.
The upstream wiki is the best description for now http://sourceware.org/systemtap/wiki/UsingStaticUserMarkers the systemtap list has an example on converting a package http://sourceware.org/ml/systemtap/2009-q1/msg00140.html
While working on this feature this section will be expanded to list packages that have probe points enabled and pointers to (upstream) package documentation on the probe names and semantics like for postgresql http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/dynamic-trace.html
Release Notes
Systemtap has been extended to support user space tracing, and in particular to support static (dtrace compatible) markers enabled in various programs in Fedora 12. This enables users, developers and administrators a high level overview of what is going on with their system or deep down in a specific program or subsystem.
Systemtap comes with a tutorial, a language reference manual, a tapsets reference and an examples directory under /usr/share/doc/systemtap-?.?/
- TODO: Should have a list of which packages were enabled with markers when finished.

Beautiful! Look delish
Love the first photo, very nice loaf. Green onion pita sounds great to. A local gyro shop makes their own flat bread fresh every day and it makes a big difference. Pita & flat breads are on my to do list. :)
So what are you slathering in the top of this bread before slashing? I've been wanting to make Derek's scallion bread for some time mow and your pitas remind me to do it! They sure look good enough for a fine shwarma:-) Well done and happy baking
I should have looked more closely at the baked loaf. It is a fine looking loaf for sure,
These look great as usual. I've been meaning to make some pitas and yours look perfect.
Thanks. Hey, you are certainly worthy of getting a feature. I'm sure Floyd will be happy to pick you soon enough.
Happy Baking.
Wonderful post, and your sourdough loaf looks beautiful. I have a question about the scoring you did. I just posted in the 'Challenges' forum myself about my scoring woes on a loaf very similar in shape to yours: I am slashing straight down the middle and achieving a sadly lopsided loaf. I notice that you score towards one side of the loaf, with beautiful results, and am wondering if you could explain the reasoning behind that cut or maybe point me towards somewhere I might read more about it. Thank you!
Ahh I didn't consider the question of too much spring, but now that you raise the issue, I did use an all-rye starter this time, which nearly triples in volume when fed. Thanks for the insight! Next time I'm going to try your style of slash, in any case. Fingers crossed.

I'm running xfce4, but without the panel. I get all the information I might get from the panel from conky, a list of running programs from middle click and program launchers etc from right click. It might sound odd but I enjoy the extra screen space.
However, I ran up against a problem. I really need to run the power manager (and probably some other stuff as time goes on) but as far as I can tell this can only be done with the panel running. Can I make the panel invisible (auto hide isn't enough)? Can I run panel programs without it? If I should just give up and go to a different desktop environment, can you suggest one?
Thanks a lot.
You can't run panel plugins without panel. You can make the border of the panel smaller (1px) then the default 3px, fully hidden is not possible.

Hasan sentenced to death
FORT HOOD - Former Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan was sentenced to death this afternoon for killing 13 people and wounding 31 others in a rampage here in November 2009
The jury of senior officers deliberated for about two hours before handing down its judgment.
The panel president, addressing Hasan by name, said the jury unanimously supported a sentence of forfeiture of all pay and allowances, dismissal from the military and "to be put to death."
Hasan was impassive. After the verdict, he donned his green watch cap and was quickly wheeled out of the courtroom.
With the verdict, he is no longer known as Maj. Hasan, an Army officer who drew $7,282.76 a month.
Now, he is a prisoner, and will be taken to the military's death row at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., to await his execution.
His sentence comes almost four years after Hasan entered a crowded soldier deployment center at Fort Hood and opened fire with a high-powered handgun, dispensing hundreds of shots in minutes. He was shot and paralyzed by a military police officer who confronted him.
The Nov. 5, 2009 attack was the deadliest shooting spree ever on a U.S. military base.
Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford, who was shot seven times by Hasan, said he was pleased with the death sentence and hopeful it will be acted on swiftly by the government, even though there will be an automatic appeal.
"It's like (prosecutor) Col. Mulligan said, he's not going to be a martyr. We are going to take his life for the lives he took, and for the 32 lives of the survivors that he destroyed," Lunsford said by telephone.
"I have such mixed emotions because so many of the families were very anxious to see him not get what he wanted, which was to be a martyr, so that's on the one hand," said Army Reserve Col. Kathy Platoni, a survivor of the shooting who helped care for some of the wounded.
"With that said, it will be years with the automatic appeals process, but I'm hoping that I will outlive him and be on the earth without him in it," said Platoni, psychology consultant to the chief of Army Medical Service Corps.
Earlier today, prosecutors asked the jury for the death sentence during their closing argument in the trial, which began. Aug. 6. Hasan was convicted Friday on more than 40 counts of murder and attempted murder.
Col. Michael Mulligan made an impassioned plea to the jurors in an argument that ran just under an hour.
Mulligan called Hasan a cold-blooded murderer, a physician who took aim at the most vulnerable parts of his victims, shooting them in the head and other vital organs at the deployment center.
"He was trained as a doctor to save lives, but on 5 November he only dealt death," said Mulligan, who successfully prosecuted another soldier , Hasan Akbar, eight years ago in a capital murder case. "He dealt death to the soldiers in Building 42003, he dealt no compassion, he felt no understanding, he dealt no exceptions. He only dealt death."
Hasan, as he has throughout the trial, had nothing to say.
The judge, Col. Tara Osborn, then began the lengthy process of instructing the panel of officers on how to reach a decision on punishment. The jury began deliberating just after 11 a.m.
The last soldier from Fort Hood to be given the death penalty was Dwight Loving, who was convicted here in April 1989 for the murders of two cab drivers. One was a soldier who was moonlighting, while the other was a retired NCO.
Decades have passed since the last military execution, when John Bennett was hanged April 13, 1961 for the rape and attempted murder of an 11-year old Austrian girl.
There are four other prisoners on the military's death row.
Over the last two days, witnesses shared stories of struggles with physical rehabilitation; loss of livelihoods and income-earning capacity; and depression, post-traumatic stress, alcohol and drug use, and other mental health issues.
"It's like there's a part of you missing. I live with that every day," said Jerri Krueger, mother of Sgt. Amy Krueger, who joined the Army in response to 9/11 and cried out, "I've been hit" as the shooting began, but never said anything else, according to testimony from a soldier who was with her.
Joleen Cahill, the widow of Michael Cahill, a civilian Fort Hood employee who was killed when he tried to stop the gunman, told jurors that she kept her husband's cell phone so her children could take comfort in hearing his voice. One of her daughters, an actress, struggles with her memory, and her son is "less functional," she testified Tuesday.
Cahill said she came to realize there was still good in the world after the shooting, and she had to find it.
"There are a lot of wonderful things in my life. My family is wonderful," she told the jury, vowing that Hasan "is not going to be in control" of their future.

Happy 2019! If you're a reader of mastheads, I'm tempted to say you need to get a hobby. But if you read this issue's small print, you may notice that this is issue No. 1 of volume No. 100 of Sales & Marketing Management magazine.
By ANDY ZIMMERMAN
Many companies today are finding themselves mired in a content crisis – one that stems, somewhat paradoxically, from both content overload and, at the same time, a lack of relevant, compelling content.
The glut of content is actually something your own prospects are likely facing – a veritable case of information overload, thanks to the 247 billion e-mails sent each day. According to some estimates, consumers also see and hear up to 3,000 marketing messages per day. Wow!
As a result, it's critical for companies to create content that rises above the noise. It can be exceedingly difficult to do so, however. Marketers are searching for that elusive secret weapon to add to their arsenal: that is, more engaging, relevant content that can be easily repurposed and measured…and, of course, produced and distributed cost-effectively.
Marketers: Put on your thinking caps
Your marketing content must be tailored to an increasingly perceptive and informed audience. Thanks to the Internet and the exploding popularity of social media, today's prospects are increasingly self-educated about a given company and its services. As a result, marketing needs to spark a conversation with truly captivating content that answers questions, informs and even entertains – and is convenient to consume.
MarketingProfs and Junta42 recently polled marketers on the top content-related challenges that keep them up at night. The chief concerns, as detailed in the "B2B Content Marketing: 2010 Benchmarks, Budgets and Trends" report, were producing engaging content (36%) and producing enough content (21%) – both categories worthy of further discussion.
Producing engaging content
A logical goal for marketers is to produce timely content that captivates prospects' attention – driving response rates and increasing buying behavior. But that, of course, is easier said than done. In order to stand out from the clutter and competition, marketers need to be strategic. The following tips can aid in your content creation and result in more effective communications:
Producing enough content
Once you've succeeded in creating and utilizing engaging content, you don't want its use to be limited to a single campaign. One way to produce enough content is to keep in mind strategies for content revitalization – avoiding the need to constantly reinvent the wheel. In the end, finding ways to leverage and extend the life of existing content can save you time and money, while increasing ROI. Think of it as shopping your closet on an organization-wide scale – where can you breathe new life into content you already have?
Once you've identified this content – let's say it's a webinar you've conducted – then what? Maybe in the past, you would have recorded that webinar and made the archive available, but the content likely died there. Here are some strategies for reuse and resuscitation:
As before, be sure to measure the impact and reach of your content to see – quantifiably – the new life your old content can take on.
It's clear that today's "content crisis" is by no means insurmountable. By applying creativity, foresight and the above tips to your marketing programs, you'll improve the efficacy of your content, extend the reach of your message, and engage your prospects in a more meaningful and productive dialogue.

COLUMBIA, Mo. – There is a festive spirit outside Faurot Field, the joy that accompanies Homecoming for a surprise 7-0 football team.
Missouri tailgates have been cranking music and grilling brats since the morning. As the sun begins to set on arguably South Carolina's biggest game of the season, that energy will start flooding Memorial Stadium.
No. 20 South Carolina and No. 5 Missouri will kick off at 7 p.m. on ESPN2. For both teams, SEC East title hopes are likely on the line. The Tigers (7-0, 3-0 SEC East) enter as the surprise of the college football season, holding a two-game lead in the division. The Gamecocks (5-2, 3-2 SEC East) could rebound from a disappointing loss at Tennessee last week and cut its deficit to one game in the standings, while also holding the head-to-head tiebreaker over Missouri.
In an ironic twist, both teams will fight for their turf in the division with backup quarterbacks. Dylan Thompson is expected to start in place of Connor Shaw, while Missouri freshman Maty Mauk will make his second straight start. Mauk's first start was an impressive 36-17 win against Florida last week.
Missouri got on the college football map with wins against Georgia and Florida the past two weeks. Both teams were suffering severe injuries, with key players out of the game. Even with Shaw relegated to the backup role as he tries to get past a knee sprain from last week, USC is much healthier than Georgia or Florida. Guard Ronald Patrick (ankle) and safety Chez Elder (concussion) are among the Gamecocks players expected to return from injury tonight.
South Carolina will be the biggest test Missouri has faced this season. Of course, the same could be said about Missouri for South Carolina. Which team will cave? Therein lays the intrigue tonight.
As always, check PostandCourier.com for full updates throughout the game. The Post and Courier has beat writer Ryan Wood and columnist Gene Sapakoff on location in Columbia, Mo. You can follow them on Twitter @rwood_SC and @sapakoff. Make sure to pick up a copy of Sunday's edition of The Post and Courier for full, in-depth coverage.

''Witch of Pungo'' pardoned by governor after 300 years
The Virginia Pilot online notes, "The Witch of Pungo might need a new nickname. On the 300th anniversary of her trial Monday, Gov. Timothy M. Kaine exonerated Grace Sherwood, who had been convicted of witchcraft. Virginia Beach Mayor Meyera E. Oberndorf read the announcement to the 40 or so who clustered at Ferry Plantation House for a re-enactment of the trial, shortly before proclaiming Grace Sherwood Day. "
Grace Sherwood was accused of withcraft in 1706. She was tried by water. That is, they threw her bound into the river. The theory was that if she drowned she was innocent but if the water rejected her she would then be guilty. Fortunately for Sherwood, she survived.
In this case, justice delayed is indeed justice denied. Sherwood spent eight years in jail after her "trial." The pardon is nice but...
Her are some sites with more information on Grace Sherwood:

Oh, this is so cool. Hubby and I started off our marriage in Virginia Beach. He was stationed at Dam Neck. We used to go down the beach to Pungo all the time to restaurant out on the marshes called Blue Petes. One of the ladies I worked with used to talk about the Witch of Pugo all the time.
Your invited to a 100th celebration I'm having over my place. Refreshments included. Come one, come all. :)

So, you going to put the directions on MapQuest or do I have to look elementaryhistoryteacher up in the phone book? :]

It's nice to see governments admitting their mistakes, but well, how much good does it do her? You wonder how much of this stuff is a just a political game or do they really care of righting past wrongs? Its like when France retried Joan of Arc 24 years after the fact...okay, it's nice that you going back and clearing her, but she's already dead. In that case at least it was close enough historically to maybe help her family, if not her. In the case of Virginia Beach, that isn't even really reveleant...maybe I'm just too cynical.
Information on Joan of Arc came from: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08409c.htm

Ok, Miland, you're getting just a bit snarky.....:)
Virginia Beach tourism uses the whole Witch of Pungo thing to the hilt so a pardon is just one more way to get more mileage out of her.
