This happened to me the other day. I was fixing an app that was implemented as a horribly tangled ball of pointers. The app is processing through a linked list when it falls over on bad data pointed to from within one of the nodes. The type of object that we were supposed to point to was simply the virtual base class for half the objects in the system. The first question I asked was, was there ever an object there? The pointer it fell on was divisible by 4 and not NULL, so it could have been a valid pointer at one time. Investigation with Visual Studio's memory viewer (view->Debug Windows->Memory) showed that the data pointed to by this pointer was filled with FE EE FE EE FE EE... This usually indicates memory that was allocated, but now is not. Something, somewhere deallocated my data. I needed a way figure out what happened to my data.
I ultimately ended up finding my lost data by overloading the new and delete operators. When a function is called, after the arguments are pushed onto the stack, the return address gets pushed on to the stack. We can then extract this from the stack in the new and delete operators to help in debugging.
After several wrong guesses about where my pointer went, I resorted to overloading the operators new and delete as shown below. This implementation of the new operator extracts the return address from the stack. The return address is found between the address of the function argument and the address of the first automatic variable. The compiler settings, calling conventions, and machine architecture may effect where the return address is found, so you may need to tweak this slightly for your environment. Once it has its return address, new allocates an extra sixteen bytes and stores the return address and the intended size of the buffer at the front of the buffer, and returns a pointer to the sixteenth byte into the buffer.
The delete operator, as you can see, no longer deletes. Instead, it extracts the return address in the same fashion, pastes it into the front of the buffer after the size, writes DE AD BE EF into the last four bytes, then fills out the rest of the buffer with a repeating pattern.
Now, when the app falls over in the debugger on the bad pointer, I simply open the memory window, find where my pointer points, and go back 16 bytes. The first four bytes are where new was called from. The next four bytes are the allocated size. The third group of four bytes are where delete was called from. The last group of four bytes should say DE AD BE EF. Followed by the rest of the allocated buffer filled in with 77 77 77 77.
77 77 77 77
To map these return addresses for new and delete back to points in the source code, first reverse the byte order of them. This is necessary because of Intel's backward-endianness. Next, right click on the source and select Go To Disassembly. The leftmost column contains the memory address of each machine instruction. Press Ctrl-G or select (Edit->Go To...) and type in one of your extracted addresses. It then should scroll you to the call to new or delete. To get back to the source file, right click again, and select Go To Source. You should then see a call to new or delete.
Now you can quickly figure out where your lost data went. As for figuring out why delete was called on your data when you still needed it, well, you're on your own.
#include <MALLOC.H> void * ::operator new(size_t size) { int stackVar; unsigned long stackVarAddr = (unsigned long)&stackVar; unsigned long argAddr = (unsigned long)&size; void ** retAddrAddr = (void **)(stackVarAddr/2 + argAddr/2 + 2); void * retAddr = * retAddrAddr; unsigned char *retBuffer = (unsigned char*)malloc(size + 16); memset(retBuffer, 0, 16); memcpy(retBuffer, &retAddr, sizeof(retAddr)); memcpy(retBuffer + 4, &size, sizeof(size)); return retBuffer + 16; } void ::operator delete(void *buf) { int stackVar; if(!buf) return; unsigned long stackVarAddr = (unsigned long)&stackVar; unsigned long argAddr = (unsigned long)&buf; void ** retAddrAddr = (void **)(stackVarAddr/2 + argAddr/2 + 2); void * retAddr = * retAddrAddr; unsigned char* buf2 = (unsigned char*)buf; buf2 -= 8; memcpy(buf2, &retAddr, sizeof(retAddr)); size_t size; buf2 -= 4; memcpy(&size, buf2, sizeof(buf2)); buf2 += 8; buf2[0] = 0xde; buf2[1] = 0xad; buf2[2] = 0xbe; buf2[3] = 0xef; buf2 += 4; memset(buf2, 0x7777, size); // deallocating destroys saved addresses, so don't // buf -= 16; // free(buf2); }
This code can also be used to detect memory leaks. Simply fix the delete operator so that it actually deallocates the memory. Then just before the app exits, use _heapwalk to step through the allocated buffers and extract the addresses where new was called. This will give you a list of calls to new which have not been matched with a call to delete.
Also, this code is for debugging, if you put this code into a production app, it will run out of memory fairly quickly.

DETROIT – General Motors Co's new Cadillac marketing chief believes it could take as long as a decade to build its reputation as a global luxury brand.
Continue Reading Below
Uwe Ellinghaus, a former marketing executive with German luxury automaker BMW AG , will assume his duties on January 1, but was introduced this week as the person responsible for shaping Cadillac's image around the world.
"I have a really, really realistic chance to establish Cadillac to what it never was, a really global premium brand that is on eye level with all the other premium competitors," the 44-year-old executive said in a telephone interview on Friday.
GM's drive to make Cadillac a global luxury brand took shape after the company's 2009 bankruptcy and restructuring. Pre-bankruptcy, the Detroit company lacked the financial clout to boost demand beyond the small numbers sold outside the United States.
Cadillac sales globally fell 2 percent last year to around 196,000 vehicles, but are up 30 percent so far this year. Today nine of every 10 Cadillac sales take place in the United States and China.
Ellinghaus, who was most recently a sales and marketing executive with Montblanc International, a maker of luxury pens, watches, jewelry and leather, said Cadillac has a strong history and great new vehicles to offer, including the CTS and ATS sedans, but lacks the "overarching message" to tie it all together.

"People know Cadillac, people like Cadillac, but they don't find Cadillac always particularly relevant," he said. "This is something that communication ... can easily overcome. It just takes time."
Ellinghaus called building Cadillac into a global premium brand a "mid- to long-term brand strategy" that will take a couple of years in the United States, five years in China and as many as 10 years in markets where the brand has a small presence.
"It's not too late," he said. "The brand has a cachet and a prestige that is already a good prerequisite for building its emotional character even further."
In the short term, however, his focus will be the world's two largest auto markets, China and the United States.
In China, whose luxury car market is expected to eventually surpass that of the United States, Ellinghaus said Cadillac has the products but needs to build brand momentum.
GM Cadillac chief Bob Ferguson said in March that he expected the brand's China sales to rise two-thirds to about 50,000 this year and triple from last year's total to about 90,000 by 2016. However, research firm LMC Automotive forecasts that the brand will only have topped 80,000 sales in 2018.
In the United States, where Cadillac ranked No. 4 in luxury sales last year, Ellinghaus said it will take five to 10 years to compete for segment leadership. In August 2012, Cadillac officials said that in a few years the brand could be a contender for the top spot in the U.S. luxury market, a position it has not held in 16 years.
In Europe, where Cadillac is more a niche brand, Ellinghaus said Cadillac did not need to have large sales volumes to be a credible global luxury brand. He said Cadillac lacks diesel engines, which are far more popular in Europe, and probably needs more of a presence in the largest European cities.

But after a handsome cad breaks her heart, she swears off love and devotes her life to teaching girls at a private school. In spite of her family's wish for a London debut, Marcia is happy where she is-until terrible news sends her back to the Brady clan...and into the arms of an unexpected suitor.
A dark and dashing earl who knows Marcia's past, Duncan Lattimore is surprised by what a fascinating and independent woman she's become. Marcia, too, is surprised-by the fiery attraction she feels for Duncan. But why-why-must he be the brother of the scoundrel who broke her heart? Why must Marcia's rival at school forbid her from seeing him? How can this lady possibly resist this fellow-when they know that it's much more than a hunch....?

I bought this because I love to listen to Alison Larkin. However, the book is so silly! All that heavy sex, etc. in the era of Jane Austen? And none of the characters had much "going on" in their lives, apart from following the tedious plot line.. The heroine kept telling us what a great and grand educator she is, but the author doesn't allow us to see her in this role.
Ms. Larkin's reding though really is wonderful. She has such a lovely way of rendering children.

I went to the cinema yesterday evening. It was a new experience as I didn't see a film (or movie) but a live performance from the Royal Opera House in London.
It was magical. My seat in our little Palace cinema was perfect. There was tea or coffee, the inevitable ice-creams and popcorn but, this is the exciting part of our cinema you could also order drinks, even hamburgers and chips, all of which are brought to your seat by an obliging waiter. All 120 seats were filled, mainly by grey-heads. The programme began – not with loud adverts but with announcements about future shows from the Royal Opera House.
The scene was set by Darcy Bussell, stunningly charming retired principal ballerina, who incidentally went to Arts Educational School (as did my son) who also gave us enticing glimpses of life behind the stage.
The ballet was Nutcracker, a Christmas favourite and a great introduction to the world of dance. It's a pity that there were just three young girls in the audience.
With an experienced video crew and sympathetic production going to the cinema to see a live stage show can equal being there. For poor provincials it's a great to have such a cultural experience, one that we are unlikely to afford or find in the depths of the country.
We were not alone Darcy said this performance was being screened live in 852 cinemas in 24 countries. If we perfect this system the export income it derives could equal that of the lazy gamblers in the city, and even put Britain back on the world stage as a sophisticated rather than as warmongers.

The labour of user co-creation. Emerging social network markets?
Banks, John A. & Humphreys, Sal M. (2008) The labour of user co-creation. Emerging social network markets? Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies, 14(4), pp. 401-418.
Published Version (PDF 126kB) |
Co-creative relations among professional media producers and consumers indicate a profound shift in which our frameworks and categories of analysis (such as the traditional labour theory of value) that worked well in the context of an industrial media economy are perhaps less helpful than before. Can this phenomenon just be explained as the exploitative extraction of surplus value from the work of users, or is something else, potentially more profound and challenging, playing out here? Does consumer co-creation contribute to the precarious conditions of professional creative workers? This article draws from ethnographic research undertaken from 2000 to 2005 with Auran games (a game development company based in Brisbane, Australia) to engage with debates about the status of user co-creation as labour. The article argues that as a hybrid and emergent social network market these relationships introduce a form of creative destruction to labour relations in the context of the creative industries.

Dental Hygiene |
Curing blue light and eye protection10/26/2007 |
What kind of eye protection specifically is needed for patients when large blue curing lights are used to bond braces on teeth? Is there agreement in the dental field on the specifics of how to protect the eyes or various ways of preventing eye injuries/exposure? Or is this a non-issue? My child is getting braces and I noticed they used dark glasses on her but they were not tinted orange. Are they supposed to be a specific kind/color? Your opinion/experience appreciated. THANKS!
To my knowledge, regular sunglasses are enough to block the ultraviolet rays the curing light emits.

Subscribe TodayLeading Lives That Matter: What We Should Do and Who We Should Be
Eerdmans Pub Co, Grand Rapids May 15, 2006Whereas William Placher's book Callings examines the concept of vocation from a historical, theological perspective, Leading Lives That Matter tackles the question of vocation from a more "popular" or "secular" vein (to use the editors' words). Readings from a wide variety of authors are included in this compilation, such as Albert Schweitzer, Aristotle, Theodore Roosevelt, Homer, Robert Frost, H. G. Wells, John Milton, Malcolm X, John Steinbeck, and even Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. While there are some specifically Christian works included in the book (such as the excellent selections from Lee Hardy, Gary Badcock, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and C. S. Lewis), the editors assume that readers will consult Placher's book for Christian views of vocation.
The question asked by Leading Lives That Matter is how a person defines "significance" in his or her life and how the modern Western worldview either contributes to or deters from one's understanding of vocation. The editors state, "This is not a self-help book that provides ready answers or prefabricated exercise. Instead, the book is designed to lead readers to know their own mind better by encountering the minds of others who have gone before them. To read this book is to become another pilgrim along life's way, as we travel in the company of other pilgrims who have left behind them records of their own journeys or the journeys of others" (p. 5).
The book discusses answers to seven questions. First, are some lives more significant than others? Is the "short and splendid" life more virtuous than the "long but undistinguished" life? Second, must one's job be the primary source of one's identity? Is the American cliché, "What do you do for a living?" a fair way of assessing a person's life? Third, is a balanced life possible and preferable to a life focused primarily on work? Fourth, should people follow their talents in deciding what to do to earn a living? Fifth, to whom should one listen when seeking advice on life decisions? Sixth, can one control what one does and becomes in life? Seventh, how does a person tell the story of his or her life?
In answering these questions, Schwehn and Bass pull from a variety of past and present writers in various genres, and the editors present a wide variety of views, even intentionally selecting some articles that contradict each another. For example where Aristotle praises the virtue of a short but valiant life, Lewis praises the work of the scholar who stayed home during the war.
This is a fascinating book; at times it reads more like a college English literature textbook or a sociology textbook than a theological reader. Yet the book has some definite nuggets of gold if one is willing to dig past a surface reading. This book could be used in a college or seminary classroom as a sort of "casebook" for students to use as they work through their own thoughts on vocation. Unfortunately the book asks many questions but answers few of them.

raise_stmt: "raise" [expression ["," expression ["," expression]]]
If no expressions are present, raise re-raises the last expression that was raised in the current scope.
Otherwise, raise evaluates its first expression, which must yield
a string, class, or instance object. If there is a second expression,
this is evaluated, else None
is substituted. If the first
expression is a class object, then the second expression may be an
instance of that class or one of its derivatives, and then that
instance is raised. If the second expression is not such an instance,
the given class is instantiated. The argument list for the
instantiation is determined as follows: if the second expression is a

Google's battle against regulation has been almost as fierce as its battle against competitors such as Facebook and Microsoft.
It has benefited more than most from the unfettered growth of the internet — something its slick search engine has of course helped to foster.
This privacy deal might well be manna from heaven for PR men who already revel in rewriting the Wikipedia entries of their despot clients. But Larry Page's gripes should be taken with a pinch of salt.
In agglomerating the world's information, Google has always acted first, under the cloak of freedom and openness, and dealt with the consequences later. A long-running dispute with Brussels over favouring its own services in search results ahead of its rivals is one example of this.
If trying to be "more European", as Page puts it, means the company will be more consultative, then that is a good thing. Remember, it has other options. In 2010, Google shut its mainland search service in China when the pressure for self-censorship became too much for it.
It makes too much money in Europe, much of it lightly-taxed, to contemplate a similar move here.

Fevered Sleep are known for experimental productions. In 2010 at the Young Vic they gave us On Ageing, a remarkable piece in which children delivered verbatim the thoughts and feelings of elderly people interviewed about growing old. They return with Above Me the Wide Blue Sky, a 45-minute, one-woman play – also billed as an "installation" – about the changing natural world. As before, the script comprises the words of real people from all over the UK asked about their relationship to their environment.
A woman sits on a revolving stool addressing an audience that surrounds her on four sides. Covering each wall are screens showing film footage of a blue sky scattered with fast-moving clouds. The woman recites a list of things observed in rural and urban landscapes – some pleasant, others not. Olfactory details, for example, include "the smell of snow on wool", "the sweet, steamy breath of a cow" and "the smell of cat shit in the sandpit" – the strangely pleasing rhyme in the latter is typical of this poetic piece. Gradually the list assumes a rhythmic shape. In a fluid middle passage, the woman describes the field outside her childhood home: its trees, flora, fauna, birdlife. Then a final inventory prefaces each item with "there used to be . . . " – as in "there used to be birdsong; it's much quieter now". Here, the earlier images are repurposed to illustrate how human activity is damaging the natural world.
It's an important argument, but sadly one made less eloquently in the performance than the substantial programme text, which includes quotations from Chekhov and John Berger as well as a professor of evolutionary psychology. The list format, devoid of narrative hooks, makes 45 minutes feel longer. The rejection of linear narrative in favour of free-form imagery is by no means new – but when it's done with such baggy profusion it dilutes the power of each detail, and the overall effect is rather soporific. I wanted to hear more about the woman's rural childhood – or perhaps that middle section and its full sentences just came as a relief.
This is a shame given Laura Cubitt's assured performance and Ali Beale's striking design – with its haunting film installation, subtle lighting and unsettling soundscape. I suspect this production will divide audiences: some will find it fertile and meditative, others frustrating.

D_back Backs Up PC Files When a USB Drive Is Inserted
My initial interest in SVA Software's D_back backup program was due its "back up your PC on insert" capabilities. There are plenty of programs that will back up a USB drive to your PC when it's inserted, but only a few that backup your PC to said USB drive as D_back ($37, 21/day free trial) will. The program has some other unique features and worked quite well once configured, but it's a bit rough around the edges and not particularly intuitive.
Why was I interested in the "backup on insert"? Because I've been doing it for years with external drives, using the autorun.inf file and batch files. Unfortunately, in the name of security, Windows 7 won't run the autorun.inf file. Now the only solution is a program such as D_back that sits in the background waiting for a drive to be inserted.
D_back's comprehensive scheduler, which facilitates the "on insert" backup, has a separate interface and may run either in the background or as a service. It's a bit tricky to set up an "on insert" backup, but there's a step-by-step tutorial on developer SVA-Software's Website. Thankfully, you may limit the backup to only a device with a specific volume label so that you don't back up to every portable storage device you insert--a trick I wish CrashPlan would emulate.
Another unusual and useful feature of D_back is backup via e-mail. The program zips up and attaches the backup to an e-mail, which it sends using SMTP. SMTP setup was problematic in version 1.69.8 that I first tested; however, 1.69.10 cured the problems. Obviously, you'll want to limit an e-mail backup to a small number of files--most inboxes don't allow more than a total of 10MB to 25MB in attachments. D_back also allows FTP and local backups and all backups may be incremental, differential, or stacked (multiple versions). You may also back up uncompressed for easy browsing and restore.
D_back has a few foibles, nearly all of which are interface-related. The nag screen on the demo gives you no hint on how to continue (hit the close button), and the default backup job backs up your program files folder, not My Documents or something more data-oriented. SMTP is spelled SMPT in one instance, and there are other signs that someone should spend some time fixing stuff minor stuff. Navigation in general is doable, but often unintuitive.
D_back is very versatile and once a backup is defined, it works very well. It's simply that setting up said backup isn't nearly as easy as it could be, and the program is a bit pricey. That said, its unusual abilities make it well worth checking out.

How was your experience?
This was my first time to this theatre and I was not disappointed. Everyone was friendly, the theatre was clean, and all the seats were good. The performance was really great - the costumes, sets, lighting, music -- all of it really exceeded my expectations.

If you're a social media junkie, we've got the perfect fitness class for you. In the Klout Workout–inspired by the company that uses a point system to measure your influence across social networks–participants rack up points based on their own performance in the gym.
But here's where things get weird: The class, which was created by fitness trainer Alexandra Williams and recently debuted at San Diego's IDEA World Fitness Convention, requires you to fiddle with your phone during an actual workout. For example, at one station that takes its cues from Reddit, you actually hold the plank position on a stability ball while reading emails and texts on your mobile.
If you truly want to make big gains at the gym, though, you probably shouldn't be tweeting in between sets and reps. But there are still plenty of ways that technology can enhance your workout. Download these 6 apps to help ignite your muscles and fry away fat–with the swipe of a finger.
Upgrade Your Hoops Game with Nike + Basketball
Designed to work exclusively with shoes that contain the latest Nike+ Sport technology, this app syncs your kicks directly to your mobile and allows you to measure your athleticism. Not only can you record the height of your vertical jump, the app also tracks how quickly you can move up, down, and around the court. (Free for iOS)
Be a Better Runner with RunKeeper
You won't find many apps–especially free ones–more versatile than Runkeeper. It covers all the basics: GPS tracking, tools that measure distance, speed, and calories burned, and it'll keep your workouts archived. Upload everything to runkeeper.com to track your progress over the weeks, months, or years and share your newest running routes with friends. (Free for iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile.) And for more running apps that will help you burn calories and slash minutes off your mile time, check out The Best Apps for Runners.
Track Your Heart Rate with BeatMeter
Sure, you can feel the sweat dripping down your body during a workout–but how hard are you really working? Here's an app that helps you find out by recording your measured heartbeats per minute. All you have to do is locate your pulse–try pressing your carotid artery at the base of the neck–then tap the screen each time you feel it. After 60 seconds, your results will be ready. ($0.99 for iOS)
Pump Up the Jams with Music Interval Training Tool
Whether you're hitting the track or pounding out sprints on the bike, this app helps take your intensity to the next level. How it works: Create a high intensity and low intensity playlist to accompany your interval training, then set the number of seconds you want to exercise at each intensity. When you're going hard, the music will sync with the upbeat tunes. Then once the interval is up, the music switches to something more low key. ($0.99 for iOS) (Want to upgrade your cardio routine? Check out these killer Interval Training Workouts.)
Gain Flexibility with Authentic Yoga
Brought to you by Deepak Chopra and yoga master Tara Stiles, this app comes equipped with killer visuals designed to help you develop strength, flexibility, and balance. Authentic Yoga allows you to choose between instructional lessons, individual poses, or special routines assembled by Chopra and Stiles. So whether you're a beginner or a pro, it's suitable for all levels. ($1.99 for iOS)
Plus, try our newest app! The Men's Health Pushup Challenge blasts your upper-body with over 30 awesome variations of the classic pushup. As the most comprehensive pushup training app ever designed for the iPad, this is the only program powerful enough to help both pushup pups and pushup pros score more on the floor. Click here to try the Men's Health Pushup Challenge! ($2.99 for iOS)

Need some more help. Need a throat plate for my TS3660 that will accomodate my Dado set. Where is the best and most reasonable price place to get one? What other accessories are there that I might need for this saw? Thanks Triker
No announcement yet.
Throat Plates
Re: Throat Plates
A crosscut sled is something that allows you to push wood across the blade. Whereas a rip cut is what you do when you cut wood along the grain (long cut), a crosscut is when you cut across the grain. A crosscut sled allows you to hold the wood up against a fence and push it across the blade. This article will teach you how to make a crosscut sled.
The Wixey digital angle gauge is a handy little tool that will show you exactly the angle of your blade relative to the table. You put the little Wixey on the table and press the Zero button to zero the thing to your table top (calibrate it to the table). Then you put the gauge on the saw blade and read the angle. I use it to set my blade to any angle, actually. If I need a 7 degree angle on the blade, I know I can get there each and every time without question. It really makes the saw much more reliable and cuts more repeatable. This is the Wixey gauge at Woodcraft.
To make a zero-clearance insert for the 3650, there's a lot of threads in the Woodworking section on how to do just that. You can purchase the blanks numerous places, but it's just as easy to use scrap around the shop. I've made mine from plywood, but you can use just about any stiff, solid material. Solid oak is nice for this as it won't sag...but you gotta have 1/2" oak that you can relegate to this task. I usually don't have enough waste oak to make a ZCI with. Plywood has worked well for me. Do a search in the woodworking section on Zero Clearance Insert and you'll find lots of ideas and methods to make your own.
Good luck, triker!I put it all back together better than before. There\'s lots of leftover parts.
Re: Throat Plates
Originally posted by triker View PostI'm fairly new to this, Davet. What is a crosscut sled, and a wixey gauge? I know what push sticks and feather boards are, and have a taper jig, but don't have a clue as to what the other are. Explain please. Thanks Triker
I made mine for something like $6 in 15 minutes.
Re: Throat Plates
Well, I just ordered a wixey gauge and a ZCI for a TS3650. Mine is a TS3660, which I hope has same throat plate. Near as I can tell, they are same. Ordered from Highland Woodworking. Hope they are good place. Will check some instructions how to make a crosscut sled and push stick. Thanks for the help guys. triker

What Disraeli Can Teach Us
Benjamin Disraeli
In one of his best essays, Isaiah Berlin compared two astonishing contemporaries, both of them "famous, influential, exceptionally gifted." Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881) and Karl Marx (1818–1883) were men of letters who hoped to become men of action, both addressed the great question of class conflict but from totally different angles, and both did so by way of identifying with classes to which they did not belong. They were both Jews.
Of the two stories, Disraeli's is plainly the more extraordinary for what he accomplished during his lifetime: Marx did not die "triumphant and full of victory," as Disraeli appeared to one who was with him at the end. Born the son of Isaac D'Israeli, a delightful man of independent means and scholarly tastes who passed his days compiling his Curiosities of Literature, Benjamin grew up in London, where his life was changed—and history also—almost by chance. Isaac's parents were Jewish merchants who had come to England from Leghorn. None too pious anyway, Isaac had a sharp little row with the Bevis Marks Synagogue to which he was nominally attached, refusing both to serve as an official and to pay the fine assessed for refusing to serve; in 1817 he had his children baptized into the Church of England.
Conversion may have been the entrance ticket to European civilization, in Heine's sarcastic phrase, but that wasn't Isaac's intention—and the consequences were quite unforeseen, as Adam Kirsch relates in his fascinating and altogether original Benjamin Disraeli. The Enlightenment had admired England as the home of limited government and religious tolerance, and yet the country in which Disraeli was born was ruled by a corrupt oligarchical Parliament in which only members of the Established Church could sit. Jews were excluded on the basis of religion (as were Roman Catholics), but not of race, and several men of Jewish origin, including Sir Manesseh Lopez and the political economist David Ricardo, had sat as MPs. And although England was being transformed by explosive industrial capitalism, whose effects Marx would one day be shown by his friend Friedrich Engels in Manchester, it was still dominated politically and socially by a land-owning elite.
While Isaac sent his younger boys to Winchester, the ancient public school (itself an indication of how social barriers in England could be surmounted), Benjamin's education was rudimentary, and he never acquired the command of Latin and Greek that was then the mark of a gentleman. After dropping the apostrophe from his surname, he tried to become a lawyer and then turned to publicizing South American mines in which he had invested, writing a pamphlet that Kirsch nicely calls "a more dignified nineteenth-century equivalent of stock promotion spam." He thereby lost a great deal of money he didn't have, and then more when a newspaper he helped launch quickly sank.
At just twenty-one, he published Vivian Grey, his first novel, only to reap much indignation in the press and elsewhere when its author turned out not to be, as he had implied, a…

There's an App for That: Mix Up Your Dating Routine With Blendr
This new app makes it easy to find local hookups and potential dates.
-Diana Denza
Picture this: you're perched on a barstool in your flirtiest outfit and a pair of killer heels, but the guys around you are all duds. Bummer, huh?
We've all been there. But thanks to smart phones, hooking up with a local hottie has gotten almost too easy. Now, you can booty call a list of men in your immediate vicinity using your Apple device. With an app called Blendr, you can connect with other singles who share your common interests and immediate location.
Using the Blendr map, you can see which ready-to-mingle users are in the next bar over or at the restaurant around the corner. If you're in a dead location, you have the option of following a "heat map", which shows you where a greater volume of potential hookups are stationed. And if you're traveling across country for the upcoming holidays, don't think you'll have to be stuck entertaining your great aunt every day: you can always update your location and meet a vacay partner… or two.
Read There's an App for That: Fake Girlfriend
For all of you non-Apple users out there, accessing the app is as simple as logging on to your Facebook page to connect with users through chat, picture shares, and location.
But if this all seems like the perfect program for serial killers and stalkers, don't get majorly freaked just yet: privacy settings don't tell hopefuls exactly where you are – it gives them a general distance away in feet. As an added precaution, you can always change your settings to make your profile invisible to certain users. So don't worry –that creepy guy who's twice your age doesn't have to drool over your details and location. Eek!
While this app is new, the concept isn't: gay guys already have Grindr, so we're just being let in on the fun. Oh well –better late than never!

C-Language Techniques for FPGA Acceleration of Embedded Software
by Xilinx, Inc. | Impulse Accelerated Technologies
Technical Paper / Conference Paper
Recent advances in FPGAs have made hardware-accelerated computing a reality for many application domains, including image processing, digital signal processing, data security and communications. Until recently, such platforms required detailed hardware design expertise on the part of the application developer. More recently, software-to-hardware tools have emerged that allow application developers to describe and generate complete software/hardware systems using higher-level languages. This paper presents specific techniques for creating FPGA-accelerated applications using the C language.

Thursday 15th Jan, 2008
An unprecedented security blanket has been draped over the US capital for Barack Obama's inauguration next week, and the threat level to the country's first black president is expected to remain high well beyond his swearing-in.
More than 12,500 active troops and military reservists, thousands of metropolitan police as well as personnel from 57 departments around the nation are descending on Washington to protect against any potential terrorist attack during Tuesday's historic ceremony, according to officials.
With estimates of up to a record two million people attending, the Department of Homeland Security has designated Obama's inauguration a national special security event.
(Article continues below)
"I think we all have to be concerned about a chemical, biological, radiological potential attack," Major General Richard Rowe, head of the Armed Forces Inaugural Committee, said Wednesday.
To counter the threat, officials are putting in place what is likely to be the biggest and most advanced inaugural security operation ever.
