These are some great points Dustin. Thanks for sharing.
I've also leaned towards using email as well for many services that I use. Mainly because of your first two points.

Twice a year the sunrise lines up with the street grid downtown which runs east-west. The date corresponds to the equinox when the length of the day and night are equal. They mark the beginning of the spring (vernal equinox) and fall seasons (autumnal equinox).
I had been planning this shot during the spring equinox for a few years but had always missed it due to either there being too much cloud cover on the horizon or hosting visitors and being unable to get away. I cannot shoot during the fall equinox because I always travel to visit my family in Canada. So this time when I woke up, and I saw there were finally clear skies I was so excited for the opportunity to get this shot that I've been chasing for some time.

(Petaling Jaya, Sunday): The Government should present a White Paper in the current meeting of Parliament to respond to the damning 2001 Index of Economic Freedom released in Hong Kong on Wednesday (November 1, 2000) where Malaysia dropped 57 places in the past six years from the 18th position in the 1995 index to the 75th position in the 2001 Index and slipped from "mostly free" to "mostly unfree" category. This should be followed by a full parliamentary debate as to whether apart from being politically "mostly unfree", Malaysia has also joined the ranks of the "economically mostly unfree".
The Government should also lift the local and mainstream mass media blackout of the 2001 Index of Economic Freedom, which ironically, drives home the point that apart from the damning judgment of the 2001 Index of Economic Freedom that Malaysia has joined the ranks of "mostly unfree" economies, it is certainly one of the politically "mostly unfree" nations.
So far, the only mainstream mass media reference to the damning 2001 Index of Economic Freedom is the Friday editorial (3rd November 2000) by the UMNO mouthpiece, New Straits Times, denouncing it as another product of evil Western conspiracy against Malaysia while Malaysians are kept completely in the dark about the index.
The NST editorial, entitled "AWSJ Should Display Fair Play" (the index of economic freedom is jointly published by the Wall Street Journal and the Heritage Foundation, a Washington think thank) was being disingenous or downright sloppy when it complained that there were no details about the 10 standard gauges utilised by the index to assess "the economic health - or sickness - of the worlds economies".
One can agree or disagree with the definition, the gauges, weightage and rankings of the 2001 Index of Economic Freedom, but no one can seriously dispute the index on the ground that there were no details about the 10 standard gauges utilised to arrive at the index.
This is because the 2001 Index of Economic Freedom gave the fullest details about the 10 standard gauges it utilised to measure "economic freedom", which it defined as "the absence of government coercion or constraint on the production, distribution, or consumption of goods and services beyond the extent necessary for citizens to protect and maintain liberty itself".
It said:
The four broad categories of economic freedom in the Index are:
Freecountries with an average
overall score of 1.95 or less;
Mostly Freecountries with an average overall score of 2.00 to 2.95;
Mostly Unfreecountries with an average overall score of 3.00 to 3.95; and
Repressedcountries with an average overall score of 4.00 or higher.
According to the 2001 Index, Malaysias economic freedom has become more and more restrictive in the past six years as to slip into the "mostly unfree" category when for the previous five years it was in the "mostly free" category.
Malaysias overall scores and ranking for the past six years are:
Year - Overall Score Ranking
1995 - 2.40 18
1996 - 2.70 40
1997 - 2.80 53
1998 - 2.60 39
1999 - 2.60 40
2000 - 2.70 46
2001 - 3.00 75
Undoubtedly, among the major factors why Malaysias has dropped 57 places in the past six years from the 18th position in the 1995 index to the 75th position in the 2001 Index and slipped from "mostly free" to "mostly unfree" category are the multiple crisis of confidence surrounding the judiciary, the rule of law and the integrity of government, and in particular, the persecution and prosecution of former Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
This is because there is overlapping coverage in the Index of Economic Freedom which includes the broadest array of institutional factors determining economic freedom such as "Corruption in the judiciary, customs service, and government bureaucracy" and "the rule of law, efficiency within the judiciary, and the ability to enforce contracts".
The NST editorial was very sore with the Asian Wall Street Journal editorial on the Index, which said:

South Burlington,
Incretin hormones are hormones produced by the gut in response to food intake. These
hormones help the body to control the metabolism of glucose (sugar). In particular, two
incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) cause the pancreas to secrete more insulin in response to
high blood glucose levels. This helps the body to metabolize the glucose more effectively,
lowering blood sugar levels. In addition to their effects on the pancreas, GLP-1 and GIP
have effects on other tissues, including the brain, gut, fat cells and bone. A new class of
oral drugs developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) called DPP-4
inhibitors increases levels of the active forms of GLP-1 and GIP in the body by preventing
their breakdown. This study tests whether a medicine in this class called sitagliptin
(Januvia), which is commonly used to treat T2DM, affects markers of bone turnover in
patients with T2DM. The hypothesis is that treatment with sitagliptin will increase markers
of bone formation and decrease markers of bone resorption during a mixed meal, by enhancing
active circulating levels of GLP-1, GIP and GLP-2.
To address this question we will recruit patients with T2DM whose diabetes is controlled
with either diet+exercise or with metformin (another medicine commonly used to treat T2DM).
Subjects will undergo measurement of body fat and bone mineral density by DEXA scanning and
a 3-hour mixed meal test. During the mixed meal test blood samples will be taken to measure
how much GLP-1 and GIP are produced. Markers of bone formation will also be measured in
blood samples obtained during the mixed meal test. Subjects will then be randomly assigned
to 8 weeks of treatment with either sitagliptin (100 mg/day) or matching placebo (an
inactive tablet that does not contain medication). Subjects will be seen 4 weeks after
commencing treatment to assess safety and tolerability. After 8 weeks of treatment the meal
test will be repeated. Subjects will then be washed off of their initial treatment
(sitagliptin or placebo) for 1 week (that is, they will receive no study medication during
this period). After the washout period, they will commence a second 8-week period of
treatment with the other study medication (that is, if they received sitagliptin initially,
they will receive placebo during period 2 and vice-versa). At the end of period 2, subjects
will undergo a third mixed meal test with measurement of GLP-1, GIP and markers of bone
Recent studies suggest that oral antidiabetic medications of the thiazolidinedione class,
such as rosiglitazone (Avandia) and pioglitazone (Actos), may weaken bones, increasing the
risk of fractures in older women with diabetes. The proposed study will test whether drugs
of the DPP-4 inhibitor class, such as sitagliptin (Januvia), have beneficial effects on bone
turnover by increasing the activity of GLP-1 and GIP. Results of this pilot study may
suggest the need to perform longer-term studies to determine whether DPP-4 inhibitors
increase bone mineral density and reduce the risk of fractures in patients with diabetes.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Type 2 diabetes treated with diet/exercise or metformin
- HbA1c less than or equal to 7%
- Men and women aged 45-80 years old
- If female, must be post-menopausal (natural or surgical)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Endocrine disorders (acromegaly, anorexia, Cushings, type 2 diabetes,
hyperparathyroidism, hyperthyroidism, hypercalcemia)
- GI conditions (celiac sprue, gastric bypass/gastrectomy, active inflammatory bowel
disease, cirrhosis)
- Cancer (including multiple myeloma) within 3 years of the study (except local
non-melanoma skin cancers and cervical carcinoma in situ)
- Active alcoholism or drug abuse
- Chronic kidney disease with a GFR < 60
- History of hypersensitivity reaction to sitagliptin or other DPP-4 inhibitors
- Hemoglobin < 12 mg/dL for men and < 10 for women
- Taking medications that could affect bone turnover (estrogen, progesterone,
testosterone, bisphosphonates, SERMS, calcitonin, teriparatide cyclosporine
glucocorticoids, methotrexate or phenothiazines), thiazolidinediones, sulfonylureas,
dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, exenatide, insulin, weight loss drugs

2019 Audi R8 V10 Plus Release Date & Price – Encased under the cup and lit up like a collection aspect, Audi's 15-cylinder totem to individual resourcefulness appearance as for whether it ought to be connected with a soft-talked docent to narrate it provides the unbelievable lifestyle: At 610 horsepower. This is a normal way aspirated 5.2-liter V-10 is the most potent engine at any time located into creation by Audi. Them revs 20 % quicker than its precursor, revolving from nonproductive to the 8500-rpm redline in .66 next. Other than this in a natural way aspirated 15-tube is not an art gallery aspect. It has not been inspired to extinction by downsized, turbocharged engines-not really, a bare minimum of. The pedestal it is bolted to, an Audi R8 V10 Plus blitzes to 60 miles per hr in 2.9 seconds and wails a blending soprano aria in this approach. It is the world's best possible fingertips-on collection. The wish to play with 413 lb-foot of torque?
2019 Audi R8 V10 Plus Redesign
This is our second instrumented examine of the second-period Audi R8. Our real first run provided a Europe-spec model getting magnetorheological dampers, dark wheels, and a small number of ongoing Germanisms in the 12.3-" electronic device group. This car signified the final United states-sector edition and essential another two-tenths to 60 mph and a couple of ticks utilizing the quarter-length in spite of a ruthless release-control system that absolves the car proprietor of any talent issue. Proceed to, removing the quarter-extended distance in 10.9 secs at 129 mph is no gradual-relocating task. The U.S. car was even better to its German counterpart in chassis metrics. A V10 Moreover model's standard carbon dioxide-ceramic brake discs delivered halts from 70 mph in 153 feet, just two a lot more compared with are already essential for them before a test. Cornering keep, at 1.00 g, tumbles much closer to what we should count on from sports cars instead of 6-form supercars but was just .01 g beneath what we should capture with the German R8.
When Audi unveiled the original R8 as an actual 2008 model, it obtained a leap start on the glut of the center of the-engined cars, some from automakers that never ever contend in this market. Thinking about the Acura NSX, the BMW i8, the Porsche Boxster/Cayman, and also the all but turned out midsection of the-engined Corvette, in addition, the overseas manufacturers, browsing for a center of the the-engined plaything might be as frustrating a method as choosing out a compact crossover.
2019 Audi R8 V10 Plus Interior
This Audi R8 does a great career carving out its unique market, however. With the R8, presently, there are no insane doors to duck under, no durable buckets to wedge yourself into and hoist yourself out of, no clumsy infotainment program to simply accept. It gives you its engine, transaxle, and 4-wheel-push program with the Lamborghini. Like the traditional, it continues to be intensely and impressively juxtaposed with the Italian car. Your Huracán is brutish and even razor razor-sharp; the R8 is stylish and stylish. The treasured gemstone-stitched seating is mild and shallow, generously inspiring however rarely bolstered. A package carrier correct right behind the chairs is capable of positioning a full-size luggage or a set up of taking part in golf night clubs. Perhaps that is the place of fascination Audi is masking making use of its R8, even though no one transports golfing nightclubs in a Lambo. Befitting its all-shut to user-friendliness and civility, the Audi R8 V10, Also, gives a certified and inviting journey regardless of its low-variable shocks and rubber-music band Pirelli wheels. Even so, that easy-biking method hampers the R8's dealing with when the street gets to be each twisty and unequal. Body motions may become unsettled and the handling doubtful. It is an embarrassment that Audi will never be delivering the magnetorheological adaptive dampers in the R8 V10 Plus in the United States; this set up has enough info exchange to offer the ease and comfort Audi demands with the body control we wish. (These dampers are standard on the regular R8 V10, a lowest of.) The Germans may acquire back once again their recommended $1400 adaptable-rate directing, however. The challenging gearbox in the steering line consumes up all views and makes the lessened-work steering considerably less foreseeable.
2019 Audi R8 V10 Plus Engine
Audi's desirable R8 is gorgeous to behold, easy to take, and magnificent to work-almost everything you would want to be seen in a sports car. The base car engine is a 5.2-liter 540-Hewlett Packard V-10; the V10 Moreover could make 610 hp. All-time travel is standard, as is a seven-pace automatic. The attractive interior features a 12.3-in. Configurable demonstrate as an alternative of standard gauges; there is even 4G LTE on the internet connectivity and Wi-Fi hotspot capability. Only a coupe is generally introduced for the time becoming; predict the Spyder version in spring 2019. The several-speed double-clutch system auto is ultimate and fast-carrying out. From time to time-hardly ever-it may be misled into receiving as effectively quick and hasty. In automatic setting, under modest throttle, the gearbox need to from time to time slam into the full cheapest probable items, flick via the top quarter-inch of the tachometer, and abruptly upshift. It is jarring, annoying, and does not appear like the fastest type of velocity.
2019 Audi R8 V10 Plus Release Date & Price
There are troubles we will miss out on about this first R8: The 6-velocity manual and it is an aluminum private shifter. This sub-$120,000 base price developed for the V-8 model. The imposing elegance of its incredible design. The real R8 acquired its dedicate auto background, but this second-generation car is virtually as vital as a marker about the evolution of the kinds. Its normally aspirated V-10 will become a lot rarer and a lot more notably the longer it hangs close up to

Alot of times, I see people complain about the abuse filter because of a title blacklist. Either that, or someone posts a pasta that for some odd reason, has a period in it, is not capitalized correctly, or whatnot.
So I'm taking the time to write on my phone something about titles! Forgive any spelling errors.
How do you format a title?
This includes capitalization, spelling, etc.
For one, don't put a period in a title. It isn't a statement, it isn't a sentence. Two, the first word in a title is always capitalized. Three, nouns and verbs get capitalized.
However, prepositions (in, on, and the like) do not get capitalized unless they are the first word in the title. Most principle words get capitalized, other words are lowercase.
Now that we've gone through a general rundown of first grade English, let's move on to the bigger problem - titles themselves.
What should my title be?
The ideas and possibilities are limitless - within reason. When it comes to the horror genre, the title can be simple, or it can be a major part of your hook.
The title is often the first thing a reader sees. It will represent your story, so you need to choose a good one. Don't do something like "The Nightmare Attacks!" This will put people off fast - because it sounds like a B-List 70's movie.
I always find that the better titles don't give too much away from the story. A title that doesn't tell me what I'm about to read or drops a hint within reason is all good. The above title that I used for ab example makes me think of an alien invasion.
But what would be a good title? Something that reflects your story but doesn't give it away. Or, if you're feeling naughty and can pull it off, sometimes basic simplicity is best. (For example, Humper Monkey's Ghost Story. The title is simple, and doesn't tell you anything but the fact that it is a Ghost story by Humper Monkey.)
You need to make sure you choose the best possible title for your story. Titles are the first thing the reader sees; they're what originally grab attention. If your title is terrible or cheesy, you probably won't get attention regardless of the quality of your work.
An extra thing I forgot above
Whereas you can't put a period, sometimes it is okay to have a question mark or exclamation point. It depends largely upon the title itself.
Additional note from Sloshedtrain
Also some extra tips is to avoid common cliché words and phrases like "haunted", "blood", "darkness", "lost episode", "death", "x the x", any full name (usually indicates a Jeff-clone), "666", "suicide", etc. If your proposed title has already been taken by another page, please come up with a new one. Don't try to uncapitalize or add ellipses to avoid it. I have lost count how many "The Darkness" has been used for pages.

Since we love talking about technology and how it can improve your life or break your bank account, I thought it might make sense to check out the KIWI P1, A compact laser measurer.
- Accuracy – 1/152ft (2mm)
- Range – 0.6-130ft (0.2-40mm)
- Laser Class – 2
- Laser Type – 635~650nm, <1 mW
- Battery (2 x AAA) – 5 hours
- Dimension (L*W*H) – 100*35*18mm
- Weight (with batteries) – 68g
- Auto Fetch – Yes
- Smart Switch – Optional
This laser distance meter is made from a company that you've never heard of called Myantenna Tech located in Hong Kong.
They are claiming that, this is the world's most compact electronic tape measure.
It's a bold statement when you consider the plethora of alternatives on the North American market alone and not to mention the world.
Since I don't have much experience with these high-tech devices, I'll just take their word for it, for now.
I measure things the old fashion way, and that's by my eyeballs and occasionally my tape measure.
But laser distance measuring tools are sought after by professionals in various industries.
Construction workers, interior designers, and even regular everyday folks like yourself make use of these devices.
And there must be a lot of them checking this thing out on INDIEGOGO because this crowdfunding campaign has far exceeded its funding goal.
The Kiwi P1
It's being touted as powerful, precise, quick and easy to use with an accuracy of +/-2 mm in a sleek package.
I found the readings to be accurate enough to back the company's claims.
There are four modes to cycle through all from one button on the side of this tool:
- On/OFF
- Pause
- Auto-Fetch
- Switch Units between mm & ft
With continuous usage, users can expect roughly 5 hours of battery life via 2 AAA batteries.
Unless your job is to hold the tape measure all day in one hand, I'd venture out and say 5 hours is plenty.
The device is certainly slim and portable. While it's small enough to fit in your pocket or purse, the kIWI P1 would be better suited inside of a toolbox or utility belt.
Plastic surrounds the frame with a matte finish, which looks like it would be easily scratchable.
The vertical alignment (VA) display is big enough to display all the relevant info that you need.
For anyone needing to go into dark areas to take measurements, the laser sight comes in handy.
You can take readings in total darkness if need be, without the device skipping a beat.
I think that part is nice considering the limitations of self-retracting tape measures.
Sometimes it can be hard to see, in less than ideal lighting conditions to read the units, and if your finger slips while holding the hook in place, the entire thing retracts.
Those issues are not present with the P1. I'm not sure how far the limitations are, but I easily measured the length in my basement at about 30ft.
It has an exclusive Smart Switch add-on that offers users a 180-degree experience. I was able to capture readings at 90-degrees, which is handy for measuring height.
What I like most about this laser measuring device is how easy it is to use.
Within just a matter of a few minutes, I was already taking measurements.
Sure it's far from perfect, and there are things Myantenna Tech could do to make the KIWI P1 a touch better.
I would love to see some weatherproofing abilities here. As a multi-use device contractors using this device will meet varying weather conditions.
I would also love to have the display auto-rotate when placed in a different orientation.
Sometimes I found myself tilting my neck just to make out the readings.
A mini level would also be useful if the company could somehow build it into the body.
And speaking of the body, I have my doubts if the P1 could take much of a beating.
Maybe a rubberized shell or even an optional case would help ease some of my concerns.
Of course, this all would add to the cost of the unit which as of this writing sells for $49USD + shipping on INDIEGOGO.
Overall, there is not a lot to dislike about the P1. It is lightweight, simple to use, affordable and I certainly recommend it.
The demand is certainly there, and all Myantenna Tech needs to do, is come through on their delivery promises.

I have successfully developed and implemented many custom wmx steps on desktop 10.3.1.
I have modified those for server, making sure that no desktop only WMX assemblies are being used.
I used C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\RegAsm.exe to register the .dll files on the server machine. I stored the .dll files (registered with RegAsm.exe [64]) C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\WMX\Server10.3\Bin for the WMX Web Version application to consume it.
When the .dll is successfully registered and stored in this location, the web version application of WMX still cannot find the step. The equivalent steps registered on desktop and stored in the desktop install bin folder are executing without issue on the same machine.
How should I be deploying these .dll files on the server machine such that the WMX web viewer application can access them?
What is the purpose of this exe: C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\WMX\Server10.3\Bin\UpdateWMServer.exe ?

text: To begin with, the title is a misnomer. Not in the literal sense as Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter does deliver on a bit of the ol' uber violence, but in the expectation a title like that conjures. Taking an historical legend and filling in any blank spaces in his back-story with a ham-handed vampiric slasher really promises fun. Who didn't instantly fantasize Abe Lincoln, beset with top hat and iconic beard, cleaving his way through beasts and spouting one-liners? Like the action films of old, where farcical titles like Die Hard 2: Die Harder delivered exactly what you expected: mindless fun. There's been an unwelcome shift away from the tropes of your treasured seminal action flicks (granted this may have something to do with a certain day in September 2001), but that's not to say the dynamic isn't still fun, because that's all it is. It takes an otherwise jarringly ludicrous scenario and makes it relatable and humane. It resonates with that pre-teen 90's kid who gawked at the mind-numbing idiocy of explosions, sweaty shoot-outs and genuinely enjoying every minute of it.Read More

I've only seen the one post on your website. Do you have any other sources? Does that person that got the update have the Instinct or the s30? I'd like to see some confirmation is possible.
btw, I believe the "auto update" has to do with the program downloading the news. If you turn it off, you'll have to manually update want to read the news . When that happens you'll be prompted to download the new software, if it's actually being pushed to the phone.
The source is good... ddjohnson. Says there's banners added, and it runs smoother...and he has our Instinct...
personal friend, good source, wouldn't have posted otherwise...I haven't gotten the update....hold on, let me check since I'm writing this.........Nope...Wonder why only a selected few are getting this?
Quote from ddjohnson " Nothing was added except for banner ads at the top of the page like the ones on the default web browser. And the fluidity of the operation. loads faster and smoother. No new add on features like stocks etc. "
If it's just a banner ad at the top of the page I think I can deal with that if it means loading things faster.

banner ad is nothing to make a big deal over
it is just a very small ad
Today it's just a very small ad... what about tomorrow? Where is your line of tolerance? Ads on the dialer? The music player? How about the Favs screen, would you still be okay with it?
It's one thing to voluntarily load a freeware app on your phone and see ads. But to have ads show up in a preloaded section of the phone, with no option to remove them, or remove the app for that matter, is a whole different matter. I don't like this precedent.
When accessing News this afternoon I received a message:
"A new version of the data services is available now for a free upgrade. Do you want to upgrade your services now?"
You can select "Continue" or "Upgrade".
I tried saying "Continue," and was able to avoid upgrading. However everytime I go to access a Pocket Express app. I get the same message, which I don't like dealing with, so I decided to go ahead and upgrade to v1.2.20.
There is now a wonderful banner ad (the ad is for thumbplay) which is located immediately below the title of the application, e.g. right below "News" if that's where you are. The banner ad scrolls.
I cannot tell if the service is different in any other respect other than the addition of advertising.
Thank you, Sprint!
Just had the exact same thing happen to me. Now I get ads, unbelievable. Thanks Sprint. I can't wait till my contract expires so I can drop you.
[edited for content that violates BAW community guidelines]
This is unacceptable from Sprint. It's not like we voluntarily load this app on to our phone, it's BUILT INTO THE FREAKIN OS!!!!
I hear T-Mobile is getting the HTC Touch Pro 2 first. I guess I know where I'll be headed as soon as my contract is up.
banner ad is nothing to make a big deal over
it is just a very small ad
Here's an idea, before you start pushing ads on your users...TRY GETTING THE POCKET EXPRESS VIDEOS TO WORK FIRST. Ads are good for apps that WORK, not that keep resetting back to the main menu.
To draw attention to this from any Sprint people, if they still exist on this site, I'm going to curse.
I'm no martyr.
It is being reported that you can roll back to the previous version by sending a text to your phone with this in the subject line;
You can do it from your sprint.com account page.
Most likely when you roll it back, you will still continue to get the message to update to the new version.
Sprint needs to stop this. I don't like having ads shoved down my throat on something I am already paying a fair amount for.
Sprint S.M.A.R.T Agents
Sprint S.M.A.R.T Agent are here to help Monday through Friday 6:00 AM CT - 6:00 PM CT. If you need to speak to an agent outside of these hours, please visit Sprint Chat

As with our other large insurance providers, Nationwide has a mobile app that allows you to file a claim, pay your bill, and view your insurance card. However, while it currently has a 4.2-star rating on the Apple App Store, its Google Play rating sits at a mediocre 3.5. Many users complain that several of the app's features malfunction and need attention from developers. If you're trying to file a claim after an accident, you don't need the additional stress of a poorly functioning app, even if it's free. While the app's capabilities may improve over time, it's best to stick with providers like Allstate if mobile app functionality is important to you.
Life insurance premiums depend on the age of the insured party. Because younger people are less likely to die than older people, younger people typically pay lower life insurance costs. Gender plays a similar role. Because women tend to live longer than men, women tend to pay lower premiums. Engaging in risky activities increases insurance costs. For example, a racecar driver faces an increased risk of death and, as a result, may pay high life insurance premiums or be denied coverage.

What's a headline for, if not to put a whole story into one quick thought? Thankfully for our copy editors, this particular headline went five columns atop the Business section over the weekend. (If there's anything copy editors hate, it's one-column heads. "Read/This/Good" isn't much of a grabber.)
The headline just about sums up the Asa Hutchinson administration:
State jobless rate hits record low 3.5%
We ask you, why would Arkansans want to change that?
Wasn't that the whole campaign strategy in 1988 for George H.W. Bush? When things are going well, keep it going. Horses, midstream, and all that. Asa Hutchinson's people might want to buy up a bunch of Saturday's editions, and send the Business section out as mass mailers.
For the first time, we noticed a section on a candidate's website called Accomplishments. Never seen that before. But it's a category all by itself for the Asa! campaign. And featured are topics like "Education Accomplishments" and "Health Care Reform."
But this campaign wisely focuses most of its effort on reviewing the economic news in Arkansas: It touts the 2015 tax cut, the largest in Arkansas history, and the 2017 tax cut, the second largest in state history. The first tax cut focused on relief to middle-class Arkansans, the second one for residents with lower incomes. Tell us again how Republicans only cut taxes for the rich.
Combine all these tax cuts with the national one, and this state's economy is booming: For 29 consecutive months, Arkansas' unemployment rate has been below 4 percent. The experts will tell you that any unemployment rate below 5 percent is actually full employment--because such a low number can be explained by people moving, changing jobs or going to school. Long story short, anybody who wants a job in Arkansas can find one.
The Hutchinson campaign will also note that per capita income has increased nearly 5 percent since he became governor. The hourly wage has gone up, too. And there have been $7 billion in new money put into the state in capital investment.
Like any good conservative, this governor seems to believe in sensible and realistic approaches to problems, preferring experience to theory. Which might be why he has signed onto Arkansas Works (formerly the Private Option) to provide health care to those in need--provided young people in the program look for work. Which is enough to have him branded a fire-breather by our friends on the left, but in reality makes him pragmatic. Besides, wouldn't any Republican governor be branded a fire-breather by our friends on the left?
We especially like the way this governor does business when it's his business. Most pols, given their druthers, expand their kingdoms. This governor shrinks his. When he first got to the governor's mansion in 2015, he implemented a hiring freeze. (His campaign claims that alone has saved millions.) And more recently the Ledge passed Gov. Hutchinson's plan to consolidate certain state agencies.
And he still has plans. Including more government reduction, higher teacher pay and even more tax cuts.
In a perfect world--and perhaps not only in a perfect world--Arkansas' governor would have been more outspoken about the lack of success in Little Rock's public schools. But there is still time to do that. And the governor certainly doesn't want a failure in one of the state's largest school districts to be part of his legacy.
There's simply no reason not to give Asa Hutchinson another term in office. Too many things are going right.
A governor with half his success would coast to a second term. And deserve to.

For those of you new to DoDDS-E, let me welcome you and wish you all the best as you begin your first year in DoDDS-E. FEA is ready to assist you in any way possible.
2. FEA Communication - Your handy-dandy pocket FEA calendar is a wonderful guide to FEA and the people you may need to reach. As Area Director for the Heidelberg and Isles districts, as well as our members in Cuba, my office is in Wiesbaden, Germany (Country Code 49). I have two direct phone lines in my office: 0611-44756131 is the cordless one I use if I need to be elsewhere in the building....0611-44756234 is the Tel/Fax/Answering Machine. You can also contact me by using DSN 337-6251, but that is the Middle School office and they will have to connect you. Outlook is the easiest way to reach me.
John Luchtman's (Area Director for the Bavaria and Kaiserslautern districts, as well as members in the Med) numbers are as follows: DSN/Civ 09721-96-6844, 354-6844, Civ. 09721-4758012. The answering/fax machine is in John's home and it is 09725-5372. Since that machine is at his home, messages during the day will be answered shortly after John returns home.
For contacting FEA in Washington, use the following addresses:
firstname.lastname@example.com (use to contact Connie Shanaghan, Barbara Wright, Gary Hritz, and Nereyda Jones and questions regarding transfers, membership, etc.).
firstname.lastname@example.com (use to contact HT Nguyen, Richard Tarr, and Patricia Weil).
firstname.lastname@example.com (use to contact Michael Priser, FEA President).
firstname.lastname@example.com (use to contact Jan Freeman)
firstname.lastname@example.com (use to contact Bill Freeman concerning pay issues, etc.)
email@example.com (use to contact Sequitta Banks. NOTE Sequitta does not use the NEA email system)
If you need to send information to our UniServ Attorneys, please remember that they work remotely and that large electronic files often shut down their systems. Please do NOT send them lengthy email files unless they specifically request them. Normally you can send them a short email and they will advise you to send things by mail, fax, etc. Sequitta Banks is our UniServ for Bavaria and Kaiserslautern. Jan Freeman is the UniServ attorney for Heidelberg, the Isles, and our members in Cuba. Bill Freeman handles pay problems/cases for all FEA members in Europe. Phone and fax numbers as well as mailing addresses for our UniServs are in your pocket calendars.
Contact Information for your District Reps and HCR Reps are also in the calendar.
3. Contacting YOU - Please make sure that we have the current FRS/FR's at your school on our mailing list so that our information can be shared quickly. FEA Europe makes every effort to get out accurate and important information as quickly as possible. John and I will alternate sending out updates, normally on Wednesday each week. We will continue to update our mailing lists as corrections come in. Send all corrections, additions, and new names to your area director as well as Linda Shahan on Outlook.
4. FRS Training Schedule and Information - For your planning purposes, the FRS Training dates are as follows:
Isles (England schools) Friday, Sept 11; Bavaria, Monday, Sept 14; Kaiserslautern, Tuesday, Sept 15; Heidelberg and the Isles schools "on the continent" Wednesday, Sept 16 (Both the Heidelberg and Isles District Reps will be participating in this training.) Further information about times and locations will be sent out very shortly.
The European Area Council will meet Sept 17 and 18 in Heidelberg.
FRS's: If you have not received your membership materials, please contact your District Rep. When processing members, please remember to ask for a non-DoDEA email address for your members.
5. Association Day! FEA Europe will be hosting an "Association Day" on Saturday, Sept 19th in Heidelberg. Plan now to attend to hear the latest news from FEA. Times and exact location will follow in future Updates.
6. Change in Payroll Dues Deductions: FEA members who wish to cancel your dues deductions for this school year must do so by September 1, 2009. You will need to submit form SF1188 (available from your school secretary) to Linda Shahan, FEA Europe Membership Processor, with a copy to their DoDDS Customer Service Rep at their DSO by September 1, 2009. Cancellations received after that date cannot be processed for SY 2009/2010. Please send by email via digital sender or mail to: Linda Shahan, CMR 419, Box 1566, APO AE 09102. Teachers transferring in from the Pacific need to make sure they fill out a new form SF 1187 if you want your deductions to continue here in Europe.
7. Save Your LES's, etc. - This is a good time of year to remember to SAVE your LES's, SF-50's, etc. relating to your pay. (Remember you can access your LES on line through MyPay and can even turn off the mailed copy of your LES.) With all the continuing pay problems in our system, it is a good idea to keep your documentation.
8. Available Resources - The FEA website is www.feaonline.org and has lots of information. For some portions of this site, you will need to have your membership number, which is on your membership card as well as your NEA Today, your FEA Journal, etc. Through the FEA website, you can sign up to have information sent directly to your email address. The NEA website is also a great source of information.
Currently available on our FEA website are some great resources for starting your school year off right.
9. Mandatory Trainings - Attached is the MOU which covers release time for the Privacy Act and other mandatory trainings. Such release time is normally coordinated within school complexes. If there are questions, please contact your District Rep.
10. Check the Dates - The beginning of the year is a good time to check the dates on all your important documents and papers...your ID card, passports, ration cards, base passes, drivers' licenses (here and stateside)...anything that may be expiring. Most of these are much easier to renew when they are still valid rather than having to reapply after they expire.
11. Good Wishes - As we begin this year, let me thank each one of you for the wonderful work you do with your students. One of the "perks" of my job is the chance to visit schools and see our teachers at work. It is a pleasure and a privilege to work with such dedicated and caring teachers.
I wish you a happy and successful school year. Thanks for all you do,
Chuck McCarter

Los Angeles Dodgers™
Minimalist Ebbets Field Art Poster
Front Gate //
It's hard to imagine a heritage stadium that has more fondness and memories than Field. This stadium served as the home to the Brooklyn Dodgers until the late 50s when the team moved to Los Angeles. Most will remember this ballpark from the movie 42, which featured one of the greatest Dodgers of all time, Jackie Robinson.
Minimalist stadium art posters make great collectables for every sports fan. Give them as a gift to a fan or showcase them on your wall as a memento of all the stadiums you visited!

This story has been updated with new incidents.
With snow overspreading the area, a crash has caused the closure of a stretch of the Merritt Parkway late Thursday afternoon.
The crash, reported around 5:30 p.m., is northbound, closing the lanes between Route 137/High Ridge Road (Exit 35) in Stamford and Route 106/Exit 36 in New Canaan.
There is gridlock on the northbound side of I-95 with two disabled vehicles. One is blocking the center lane between Noroton Avenue (Exit 10) and Route 1 (Exit 11) at 6 p.m. and the other the right lane between Atlantic Street (Exit 8) and Route 1 (Exit 9).
An earlier crash that blocked the right lane caused gridlock on southbound I-95 between Exit 22 and Exit 20 in Bridgeport.
In addition to the treacherous driving conditions through Thursday evening, the snow and sleet, combined with wind gusts up to 35 miles per hour, could cause power outages during the height of the Nor'easter, which is projected to result in higher accumulations than earlier predictions.
A Winter Storm Warning is now in effect for the entire region until 10 p.m. Thursday.
Snow/sleet accumulations of 2 to 5 inches are now expected south of I-287 and the Merritt Parkway and 3 to 6 inches inland. Western areas north of I-84, including Dutchess, now could see between 8 and 12 inches of snowfall.
There is still uncertainty with the projection amounts, however, because the extent and timing of snow mixing with sleet are unclear. The northern areas with less mixing are expected to see the most accumulation.
The wintry mix will continue for the entire region through around 11 p.m. Thursday before changing over to rain. Areas farther north will see freezing rain and some sleet and snow overnight through early morning, meaning school delays and even closures are possible farther north on Friday.
The entire region will see rainfall into Friday morning before gradual clearing in the late morning and early afternoon as the high temperature climbs into the mid-40s.
Saturday will be mostly sunny with a high in the mid-40s.

Ethnic Conflict and Civic Life: Hindus and Muslims in India
NOOK Book(eBook)
Available on Compatible NOOK Devices and the free NOOK Apps.
The book focuses on the networks of civic engagement that bring Hindu and Muslim urban communities together. Strong associational forms of civic engagement, such as integrated business organizations, trade unions, political parties, and professional associations, are able to control outbreaks of ethnic violence, Varshney shows. Vigorous and communally integrated associational life can serve as an agent of peace by restraining those, including powerful politicians, who would polarize Hindus and Muslims along communal lines.

Chapter OneIntroduction
In this book I seek to establish an integral link between the structure of civil society on one hand and ethnic, or communal, violence on the other. To be more precise, the focus is on the intercommunal, not intracommunal, networks of civic life, which bring different communities together. These networks can, in turn, be broken down into two parts: associational and quotidian. I call the first associational forms of civic engagement and the second, everyday forms of civic engagement. Business associations, professional organizations, reading clubs, film clubs, sports clubs, festival organizations, trade unions, and cadre-based political parties are some of the examples of the former. Everyday forms of engagement consist of such simple, routine interactions of life as Hindu and Muslim families visiting each other, eating together often enough, jointly participating in festivals, and allowing their children to play together in the neighborhood. Both forms of engagement, if robust, promote peace; contrariwise, their absence or weakness opens up space for communal violence. Of the two, the associational forms turn out to besturdier than everyday engagement, especially when people are confronted with the attempts by politicians to polarize ethnic communities. Vigorous associational life, if intercommunal, acts as a serious constraint on the polarizing strategies of political elites.
Although some of the key terms used above-"civil society," "civic life," "ethnic," "communal"-are discussed in great detail in the next chapter, let me briefly specify what I mean by them. Since scholars and activists do not use these terms in the same way, a clarification of how I have understood and deployed them will help pre-empt speaking across different conceptual registers.
By "civil society," or "civic life," I mean the part of our life that exists between the state on one hand and families on the other, that allows people to come together for a whole variety of public activities, and that is relatively independent of the state. Civil society is not a non-political but a non-state space of collective life. Moreover, in its non-state functions, it can cover both social and political activities. Soccer leagues, playing-card societies, and philately clubs may be social, not political; but trade unions and political parties are primarily the latter, not the former, though in the process of playing their political roles, they may also provide social platforms for people to come together. Both types of organizations are parts of civil society, so long as they are independent of the state.
A special note may be taken here of the double role of political parties. They constitute an important component of civil society in a multiparty democracy but not in a one-party system. In the latter, political parties become an appendage of the state, losing their civic functions. Since India is a multiparty democracy, its political parties are part of the nation's civil society, along with its unions, business associations, reading clubs, film clubs, NGOs, and so on.
What about the terms "ethnicity" and "communalism"? There are two distinct ways in which the term "ethnic" is used. In its narrower sense, "ethnic" means "racial" or "linguistic." This is the sense in which the term is widely understood in popular discourse, both in India and elsewhere. For example, for politics and conflict based on religious groupings, such as Hindus and Muslims, the principal subjects of this study, Indian scholars as well as bureaucrats and politicians since the British days have used the term "communal," not "ethnic," reserving the latter primarily for linguistically or racially distinct groups.
There is, however, a second sense in which ethnic groups are defined in the social sciences. This usage is broader in its implications. As Horowitz argues, all conflicts based on ascriptive group identities-race, language, religion, tribe, or caste-can be called ethnic. In this umbrella usage, ethnic conflicts range from (1) the Protestant-Catholic conflict in Northern Ireland and Hindu-Muslim conflict in India to (2) black-white conflict in the United States and South Africa, (3) Tamil-Sinhala conflict in Sri Lanka, and (4) Shia-Sunni troubles in Pakistan. In the narrower construction of term, (1) is religious, (2) racial, (3) linguistic, and (4) sectarian. The term "ethnic" often in the past would have been reserved for the second and, at best, third conflicts, but not extended to the first and the fourth.
Exponents of the broader usage disagree with such distinctions. They argue that the form ethnic conflict takes-religious, linguistic, racial, tribal-does not seem to alter its intensity, longevity, passion, or relative intractability. Their emphasis on the ascriptive and cultural core of the conflict, imagined or real, and they distinguish it primarily from the largely non-ascriptive and economic core of class conflict. Ethnic conflict may have an economic basis, but that is not its defining feature. Irrespective of internal class differentiation, race, language, sect, or religion can define the politics of an ethnic group. Contrariwise, class conflict tends on the whole to be economic, but if the class to which one is born is also the class in which one is locked until death, and this happens to be true for large numbers of people, then class conflict does acquire ascriptive overtones. Following Horowitz, it is now well understood that the latter characteristics apply not to ethnic systems in general but to ranked ethnic systems, such as the United States of America during the period of slavery, South Africa during apartheid, and India with its caste system. Ranked ethnic systems merge ethnicity and class; unranked ethnic systems do not.
The larger meaning, one might add, is also increasingly becoming the standard meaning in the social sciences, even if that is not yet true of politics and activism. will use the term "ethnic" in this broader sense. In other words, I may distinguish between communal, linguistic, sectarian, tribal and caste categories, but I will not differentiate communal from ethnic. Ethnicity is simply the larger set to which religion, race, language, and sect belong as subsets in this definition.
Thus far, scholars have worked either on civil society or on ethnic conflict, but no systematic attempt has yet been made to connect the two. For all practical purposes, the role of civic networks has not yet been appreciated in the literature on ethnic conflict. How my argument linking the two emerged, therefore, requires some explanation. I start with a puzzle often encountered in the field of ethnicity and nationalism, and how I sought to resolve it.
Sooner or later, scholars of ethnic conflict are struck by a puzzling empirical regularity in their field. Despite ethnic diversity, some places-regions, nations, towns, or villages-manage to remain peaceful, whereas others experience enduring patterns of violence. Similarly, some societies, after maintaining a veritable record of ethnic peace, explode in ways that surprise the observer and very often the scholar as well. Variations across time and space constitute an unresolved puzzle in the field of ethnicity and nationalism.
How does one account for such variations? With isolated exceptions, uncovering commonalities across the many cases of violence has been the standard research strategy. This strategy will continue to enlighten us, but it can only give us the building blocks of a theory, not a theory of ethnic conflict. The logic underlying this proposition is simple, often misunderstood, and worth restating. Suppose that on the basis of commonalities we find that interethnic economic rivalry (a), polarized party politics (b), and segregated neighborhoods (c) explain ethnic violence (X). Can we, however, be sure that our judgments are right? What if (a), (b), and (c) also exist in peaceful cases (Y)? In that case, either violence is caused by the intensity of (a), (b), and (c) in (X); or, there is an underlying and deeper context that makes (a), (b), and (c) conflictual in one case but not in the other; or, there is yet another factor (d), which differentiates peace from violence. It will, however, be a factor that we did not discover precisely because peaceful cases were not studied with the conflictual ones.
In short, until we study ethnic peace, we will not be able to have a good theory of ethnic conflict. Placing variance at the heart of new research is likely to provide by far the biggest advances in our understanding of ethnicity and ethnic conflict. Despite rising violence, many communities in the world still manage their interethnic tensions without taking violent steps.
The argument about the necessity of studying variance leads to another important methodological question: At what level must variance itself be studied? What should our unit of analysis be-nations, states, regions, towns, or villages? What methodologists call a large-n analysis can help us identify the spatial trends and allow us to choose the level at which variance is to be analyzed. The project, therefore, went through all reported Hindu-Muslim riots in the country between 1950 and 1995. The detailed results are presented in Chapter 4. For purposes of identifying larger trends, two results were crucial.
First, the share of villages in communal rioting turned out to be remarkably small. Between 1950 and 1995, rural India, where two-thirds of Indians still live, accounted for less than 4 percent of the deaths in communal violence. Hindu-Muslim violence is primarily an urban phenomenon. Second, within urban India, too, Hindu-Muslim riots are highly locally concentrated. Eight cities-Arguments Ahmedabad, Bombay, Aligarh, Hyderabad, Meerut, Baroda, Calcutta, and Delhi-account for a hugely disproportionate share of communal violence in the country: a little more than 49 percent of all urban deaths (and 45.5 percent of all deaths) in Hindu-Muslim violence (table 1.1). As a group, however, these eight cities represent a mere 18 percent of India's urban population (and about 5 percent of the country's total population, both urban and rural). Eighty-two percent of the urban population (95 percent of the total population) has not been "riot-prone."
Consider another way of understanding the role of local concentrations. Two cities alone in the state of Gujarat-Ahmedabad and Vadodara-account for nearly 80 percent of the total deaths in the state; 88 percent of all deaths in Maharashtra took place in the six worst towns of the state, leaving many more towns untouched; and 80 percent of all deaths in the state of Andhra Pradesh occurred in the city of Hyderabad. All these states had many more cities that were peaceful than were violent, and state-level aggregate data on deaths were simply artifacts of riots in a handful of cities. Given such high local concentrations in urban India, the large-n analysis clearly establishes the "town or city" as the unit of analysis. India's Hindu-Muslim violence is city-specific. State (and national) politics provides the context within which the local mechanisms linked with violence are activated. In order to understand the causes of communal violence, we must investigate these local mechanisms.
Following this reasoning, the project selected six cities-three from the list of eight riot-prone cities and three peaceful-and arranged them in three pairs. Thus, each pair had a city where communal violence is endemic and a city where it is rare or entirely absent. To ensure that we did not compare "apples and oranges," roughly similar Hindu-Muslim percentages in the city populations constituted the minimum control in each pair. The first pair-Aligarh and Calicut-was based on population percentages only. The second pair-Hyderabad and Lucknow-added two controls to population percentages: previous Muslim rule and reasonable cultural similarities. The third pair-Ahmedabad and Surat-was the most tightly controlled. The first two pairs came from the north and the south. The third came from the same state, Gujarat, sharing history, language, and culture but not endemic communal violence. All of these cities, at this point, have a population of more than 500,000, and the biggest, Hyderabad, is a metropolis of more than 4.2 million people.
Why was similarity in demographic proportions chosen as the minimum control in each pair? Both in India's popular political discourse and in theories about Muslim political behavior, the size of the community is considered to be highly significant. Many politicians, especially those belonging to the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), have argued that the demographic distribution of Muslims makes them critical to electoral outcomes in India. Muslims constitute more than 20 percent of the electorate in 197 of 545 parliamentary constituencies in the country. In a first-past-the-post system, wherein 30-35 percent of the vote is often enough to win a seat in multicornered contests, these percentages make the Muslims electorally highly significant. The higher the numbers of Muslims in a given constituency, argue politicians of the BJP, the greater the inclination of centrist political parties to pander to their sectional-communal demands, and the lower the incentive, therefore, for Muslims to build bridges with the Hindus. Thus, according to this argument, "Muslim appeasement," based on the significance of numbers in a democracy, is the cause of communal conflicts in India.
That Muslim demography has political consequences is, however, not an argument confined to the Hindu nationalist BJP. Leading Muslim politicians also make a demographic claim, though they reverse the causation in the argument. The higher the numbers of Muslims in a town, they argue, the greater the political threat felt by the leaders of the Hindu community, who react with hostility to legitimate Muslim anxieties about politics and identity. An unjustified, even self-serving, opposition on the part of Hindu leaders, they argue, is the source of communal hostilities. Thus, both extremes of the political spectrum heavily rely on demography for their explanations.
These popular arguments are, to some extent, shared by social scientists as well. Rudolph and Rudolph, for example, argue that when a town or constituency has a Muslim majority or plurality, Muslims typically favor confessional parties, not the centrist, intercommunal parties. Muslims support centrist parties when their share of the population or electorate is small in a town or constituency. Smaller numbers make it rational to seek the security of a large, powerful mainstream party.
Can one find cases-cities or constituencies-where similar demographic distributions lead to very different forms of political behavior? Selecting from a larger sample of such cases, this study seeks to do precisely that. As described above, it compares three pairs of cities where a rough similarity in demographic proportions coexists with variance in political outcomes: peace or violence.
What accounts for the difference between communal peace and violence? Though not anticipated when the project began, the pre-existing local networks of civic engagement between the two communities stand out as the single most important proximate cause. Where such networks of engagement exist, tensions and conflicts were regulated and managed; where they are missing, communal identities led to endemic and ghastly violence. As already stated, these networks can be broken down into two parts: associational forms of engagement and everyday forms of engagement. The former ties are formed in organizational settings; the latter require no organization. Both forms of engagement, if intercommunal, promote peace, but the capacity of the associational forms to withstand national-level "exogenous shocks"-such as India's partition in 1947 or the demolition of the Baburi mosque in December 1992 in full public gaze by Hindu militants-is substantially higher.
The Mechanisms
What are the mechanisms that link civic networks and ethnic conflict? And why is associational engagement a sturdier bulwark of peace than everyday engagement?

- Description
Like every girl, Sarah Jakes dreamed of a life full of love, laughter, and happy endings. But her dreams changed dramatically when she became pregnant at age thirteen, a reality only compounded by the fact that her father, Bishop T.D. Jakes, was one of the most influential megachurch pastors in the nation. As a teen mom and a high-profile preacher's kid, her road was lonely. She was shunned at school, gossiped about at church. And a few years later, when a fairy-tale marriage ended in a spiral of hurt and rejection, she could have let her pain dictate her future.
Instead, she found herself surrounded by a God she'd given up on, crashing headlong with Him into a destiny she'd never dreamed of. Sarah's captivating story, unflinchingly honest and deeply vulnerable, is a vivid reminder that God can turn even the deepest pain into His perfection.
More than a memoir, Lost and Found offers hope and encouragement. Perhaps you, like Sarah, find yourself wandering the detours of life. Regardless of how lost you feel, you, too, can be found.

Ok, here are my comments and suggestions about the LLVM instruction set.
We should discuss some now, but can discuss many of them later, when we
revisit synchronization, type inference, and other issues.
(We have discussed some of the comments already.)
o We should consider eliminating the type annotation in cases where it is
essentially obvious from the instruction type, e.g., in br, it is obvious
that the first arg. should be a bool and the other args should be labels:
br bool <cond>, label <iftrue>, label <iffalse>
I think your point was that making all types explicit improves clarity
and readability. I agree to some extent, but it also comes at the cost
of verbosity. And when the types are obvious from people's experience
(e.g., in the br instruction), it doesn't seem to help as much.
o On reflection, I really like your idea of having the two different switch
types (even though they encode implementation techniques rather than
semantics). It should simplify building the CFG and my guess is it could
enable some significant optimizations, though we should think about which.
o In the lookup-indirect form of the switch, is there a reason not to make
the val-type uint? Most HLL switch statements (including Java and C++)
require that anyway. And it would also make the val-type uniform
in the two forms of the switch.
I did see the switch-on-bool examples and, while cute, we can just use
the branch instructions in that particular case.
o I agree with your comment that we don't need 'neg'.
o There's a trade-off with the cast instruction:
+ it avoids having to define all the upcasts and downcasts that are
valid for the operands of each instruction (you probably have thought
of other benefits also)
- it could make the bytecode significantly larger because there could
be a lot of cast operations
o Making the second arg. to 'shl' a ubyte seems good enough to me.
255 positions seems adequate for several generations of machines
and is more compact than uint.
o I still have some major concerns about including malloc and free in the
language (either as builtin functions or instructions). LLVM must be
able to represent code from many different languages. Languages such as
C, C++ Java and Fortran 90 would not be able to use our malloc anyway
because each of them will want to provide a library implementation of it.
This gets even worse when code from different languages is linked
into a single executable (which is fairly common in large apps).
Having a single malloc would just not suffice, and instead would simply
complicate the picture further because it adds an extra variant in
addition to the one each language provides.
Instead, providing a default library version of malloc and free
(and perhaps a malloc_gc with garbage collection instead of free)
would make a good implementation available to anyone who wants it.
I don't recall all your arguments in favor so let's discuss this again,
and soon.
o 'alloca' on the other hand sounds like a good idea, and the
implementation seems fairly language-independent so it doesn't have the
problems with malloc listed above.
o About indirect call:
Your option #2 sounded good to me. I'm not sure I understand your
concern about an explicit 'icall' instruction?
o A pair of important synchronization instr'ns to think about:
o Other classes of instructions that are valuable for pipeline performance:
predicated instructions
o I believe tail calls are relatively easy to identify; do you know why
.NET has a tailcall instruction?
o I agree that we need a static data space. Otherwise, emulating global
data gets unnecessarily complex.
o About explicit parallelism:
We once talked about adding a symbolic thread-id field to each
instruction. (It could be optional so single-threaded codes are
not penalized.) This could map well to multi-threaded architectures
while providing easy ILP for single-threaded onces. But it is probably
too radical an idea to include in a base version of LLVM. Instead, it
could a great topic for a separate study.
What is the semantics of the IA64 stop bit?
o And finally, another thought about the syntax for arrays :-)
Although this syntax:
array <dimension-list> of <type>
is verbose, it will be used only in the human-readable assembly code so
size should not matter. I think we should consider it because I find it
to be the clearest syntax. It could even make arrays of function
pointers somewhat readable.

Not surprisinglysince, after all, mosquitoes bite us to harvest proteins from our bloodresearch shows that they find certain blood types more appetizing than others. All vertebrates produce carbon dioxide, so what better way could there be for a mosquito to cue in on a host. Here's why you're the target of every mosquito's affection, while your friend gets off bite free.

Too many of us lack confidence. Too many of us lack faith in ourselves. We have a hard time trusting that want we want can actually become reality. Then we accept that the obstacles we face now will always be present, will always negatively affect us but that's not true (unless we make it true). The truth is we as we develop, we face different issues. We can choose the issues we want to face. Like the issue of how to create a better life. It starts today.
