Fall-Arrest Systems (FAS)
You should use a fall-arrest system (FAS) that is manufactured to industry standards. Never use single-strap belts and chest harnesses—they can be deadly. Before hunting, carefully read the manufacturer's instructions for proper use of your FAS and follow all safety guidelines. Due to the risks of injury or death, hunters who choose not to wear and use their FAS properly should stay on the ground to hunt.
- Always use a properly fitting FAS that includes a full-body harness while climbing a tree, installing a tree stand that uses climbing aids, and hunting from a tree stand.
- Make sure your FAS includes these components:
- Full-body harness—the vest harness is a very effective style of full-body harness
- Lineman's-style belt and/or climbing belt—used when climbing up and down the tree
- Tree strap—goes around the tree
- Tether—attaches the harness to the tree strap
- Suspension relief strap—provides a loop to stand in if you fall
- With an adult present, practice adjusting and using your FAS at ground level before hunting from an elevated stand. Also practice using the suspension relief strap.
- Discard any FAS that shows signs of wear and tear or has been worn during a fall. Also adhere to the expiration date sewn into the FAS by the manufacturer.

Japan's capital is a place of unfathomable size, endless variety and constant movement, but just below the surface of this futuristic megalopolis is a surprising and delightful sense of calm
Author Robert Michael Poole Photography Marie Takahashi
DAY THREE A gentle tap at the door tells you a couple of things: One, room service is here; two, it's early. You've opted for a rejuvenating breakfast of lobster cake benedict washed down with a papaya-lime juice cocktail. A long rain shower and a quick green tea, and you're good to go.
At Shimbashi Station, you take an automated train to Telecom Center, a glass-and-steel rendition of the Arc de Triomphe. But you're not here to admire the architecture. A few steps away is Ooedo Onsen Monogatari, which is as close as Tokyo gets to an authentic mountain hot-spring resort, with volcanically heated water pumped from 4,600 feet below. Having donned a florid yukata (summer kimono), you then strip and dip, and feel infinitely better for it afterward.
Lunch today is at the ANA InterContinental's Michelin-starred Pierre Gagnaire, a restaurant so sleekly modern it has an artist's-interpretation feel to it. Among the appetizers on offer is an inspired foie gras crème brûlée with green melon sherbet; for the main dish, you go for grilled lamb chops with potato purée and squid ink, which gives you a new appreciation for surf and turf.
Barely pausing to look at the map now, you take the subway to Hamamatsucho Station and the calm waters of Tokyo Bay. Here, you hop a sightseeing boat, courtesy of Viator Tours, up the Sumida River. As the boat cruises past the Philippe Starck-designed Asahi Super Dry Hall, atop which sits a golden object resembling a whale, your tour guide tries to teach you how to sing and clap in the traditional style. Slightly hoarse, you dock at Asakusa, parts of which look just as they did when the district was founded in the 17th century.
A short hike west and you're in the heart of old Edo. Traversing a narrow alley thick with tea houses and pungent with incense, you cast a surreptitious eye toward one of the few geishas still working in Tokyo. Nearby, flanked by the gods of thunder and wind, a ceremonial gate leads to Senso-ji Temple, the area's most important temple for nearly 1,400 years, and the adjacent Gojunoto Pagoda, a five-tiered red and white structure where even well-dressed businessmen perform ancient rituals.
Next, it's a quick stroll to the Nakamise Arcade, a shambles of gift stalls and snack shacks, where you pick up a hand-painted bamboo fan and nibble on a ningyo-yaki (literally, "fried doll"), a cake filled with bean paste and molded into a novelty shape. Yours looks like the smiling face of a little old man, and it's with some reluctance that you tuck into his ear.
The final stop of the day is the 40th floor of the Park Hyatt, where you'll be dining at Kozue, a restaurant whose understated design seems to be a tacit admission that—in terms of ambience—it's all about the view. Waitresses in kimonos deliver your multicourse kaiseki dinner: grilled sea bass, kuruma prawns with seasonal soba noodles, and custard mousse floating in a thick plum sauce. You have just enough energy, you decide, for a final final stop of the day.
Up on the 52nd floor, the New York Bar has even better views of the city. It's here that Scarlett Johansson met Bill Murray in Lost in Translation, the pair brought together by a shared sense of cultural alienation. Tonight the clientele is local and cosmopolitan, and when the jazz band kicks in, it all seems reassuringly familiar. You'd planned on taking a cab back to your hotel, but you're thinking now that you might give the subway one last whirl. It's just what people here do.
ROBERT MICHAEL POOLE isn't supposed to reveal what his ema wish was for, but it involved the words "win," "lottery" and "big."

Hello everyone,
I've made a client web project, which is working using Tomcat server that, in turn, connects to a server that wait socket connections in a port.
If I start eclipse and tomcat and run the server side, I can access the application using any browser by internet.
I've also exported the project as .war archive file.
Basically, what I would like to do would be having an icon and double click it in such a way a browser would open and give access to the web site of the web project, and if possible a way of installing the web client project archive war file without having to open eclipse and installing tomcat and server side, the way runnable jars are run.
I would really appreciate your help.

Help on way for crowded crime lab, ME's office
With bodies stacking up in coolers and the potential of mixing DNA looming, the two Bexar County agencies that share a red-brick building in the South Texas Medical Center are in need of more space.
But relief should come soon, thanks to a recently approved county budget that includes a $3.5 million renovation at the three-story medical examiner's office and criminal laboratory.
A growing population and local initiatives have increased work for Dr. Randall Frost, the chief medical examiner, and Timothy Fallon, the crime lab director. Frost's 45 employees and Fallon's 23 inhabit a county building at the University of Texas Health Science Center, and the agencies bring the county about $2.9 million in annual income.
Both men tout relatively fast turnaround times.
Frost's staff completes toxicology screens in about 30 days and conducts about 1,450 autopsies a year. The toxicology lab also tests blood for about 4,000 drunken-driving suspects a year who refuse a breathalyzer test, under the county's no-refusal policy.
Fallon's crime lab gets about 400 drug identification cases each month. And each year, lab employees conduct nearly 25,000 scientific examinations. It takes the lab 124 days to identify a drug.
"Last year, we lost a drug ID employee in the budget at the same time as (the San Antonio Police Department's) East Side initiative, and our drug cases went, zoooooommmm," Fallon said, making the motion of an airplane taking off. "It's slowed down since."
Frost said population growth has caused an increase in deaths.
Sometimes, funeral arrangements take a while; some bodies are never identified. If they stay anonymous after 60 days, Frost said, they're given a pauper's burial. Often, bodies on carts under white sheets awaiting pickup fill both the "OUT" and "IN" basement cooler rooms.
Death and the basement
The renovations will include finishing out a storage room in the basement as an extended morgue, doubling the available space for autopsies.
The building's decomposition room, adjacent to a port where bodies are wheeled out of vans, smells pungently of decay from bodies housed in metal coolers. The room is bare, aside from a tuft of matted dark hair on the floor and tools hanging above the sink.
"Twenty bucks from a garden supply store does the job better than $200 from the medical supply store," Frost said, pointing to a pair of clippers. "You have to have a strong stomach to work here. Maggots are a fact of life with dead bodies."
After retiring from the Navy, Frost went to work for Bexar County 15 years ago. Beneath a navy baseball cap in his second-story office is a skeleton that he dresses up for Halloween. Behind that is an autographed, framed Henckles ham slicer. Since joining Bexar County, he's made a tradition out of giving as a gift the 10-inch knife, used in many autopsies, to fellows.
A dozen investigators who are licensed peace officers inhabit the first floor, where they each work about 1,100 cases a year. White lab coats hang in cubicles, decorated with yellow "CRIME SCENE" scarves and mouse pads, where investigators receive calls alerting them to deaths.
"They are swamped," Frost said. "We need more investigators, and the capital improvements will extend their offices."
He doesn't allow autopsies to be observed — "this is NOT entertainment," Frost said — and only allows in an autopsy technician, a doctor, a fellow and two law enforcement officials. As a reporter and photographer toured the building last week, the whirr of a chain saw being used in an autopsy could be heard echoing in the basement's hallways.
"Doesn't it set your teeth on edge?" Fallon asked.
"It is what it is," Frost said.
Labs and firearms
Fallon's self-described "pickle-face" relaxes when he enters his various lairs — several labs scattered throughout the building. A microbiologist once interested in brewing beer, he's been with Bexar County for 18 years.
The renovations will allow him to expand his first-floor vault and evidence receiving area, where the air smells sour like the marijuana that fills paper bags on shelves. While the lab doesn't store evidence, it tends to pile up before it can be looked at.
On the second floor is the serology lab, where analysts make cuttings, test DNA for 13 different traits and enter the evidence into the national database, the Combined DNA Index System.
"You know how people get to the Alamo and say, 'That's it?' Well, this is it, this is CODIS," Fallon said, motioning toward a Dell computer in a small office.
He hopes the renovations will allow him to spread out serology lab workers who now must examine cases in a tight space.
"We share work areas. We schedule things to let the area cool off, but there's always a chance of (DNA) transference," he said.
Nestled near the gunshot residue room in the basement is the firearms lab, complete with an armory, a walk-in closet stacked with bullets and a shooting range.
Employees there identify weapons, casings and cartridges recovered from crime scenes.
Weapons are fired into a metal water tank or a tube of cotton so lab workers can compare the bullets to evidence.
Firearms examiner Tammi Sligh recently bought "Zombie-killer" bullets, which have neon plastic tips, for the arsenal.
"Firing the guns is the easy part; all of the comparisons are difficult," she said. "It's a lot of microscope work. But the cases are interesting."
Frost, a gun enthusiast, considers Fallon's firearms closet "a pretty good collection. Most of these guns, you'd have to register and give the (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) your firstborn child."

In an effort to "help reduce server strain and improve overall game stability", Blizzard has placed an undisclosed limit on the number of new Diablo III games a player may create in quick succession.
While this will annoy those "farming" for rare items, who will create a game, quickly check stuff, leave then create another game, for most gamers it shouldn't be too big a deal.
While Blizzard doesn't say what the cap is, once you reach it, you'll need to "wait approximately 10 to 15 minutes before creating any additional games".

After debuting within the confines of an episode of "Bones" last season, the quirky semi-spinoff "The Finder" can finally be found on the Fox schedule.
The series, loosely adapted from author Richard Greener's novel series "The Locator," feature Geoff Stults as Walter Sherman, a wisecracking but also paranoid recluse who's in high demand because of his near-miraculous ability to locate just about any missing person or thing on the planet, an ability he believes he gained after barely surviving an explosion while serving in the Army Military Police.
As Walter relies on a support team that includes his lawyer/bodyguard/best bro Leo (Michael Clarke Duncan), U.S. Marshall and on-again, off-again paramour Isabel Zambada (Mercedes Masohn) and young, sweet-and-sour tempered second generation thief Willa (Maddie Hasson), the creative team promises the same kind of offbeat attitude to the crime-solving procedural that set the standard for 'Bones.'
U.S. & World
"Right from the get‑go, 'The Finder' was conceived as a partner to 'Bones,' something that existed in the same universe," says executive producer Hart Hanson. "That was the pitch right from the beginning, so Barry Josephson and I talked very briefly before that about whether we wanted to go to that same tonal place, and, yeah, we did – we've had a lot of fun on 'Bones.' And once I saw the potential in a show about a guy who finds things, I thought 'Oh, it's different enough from 'Bones' that I would be very, very interested in doing it, I hope, for seven seasons.'"
"Walter really believes that his issue is what allows him [to do what he does] ‑‑ it's his gift," says Stults. "Whether it's true or not, whether he really is gifted in that way, whether his injury is the reason that he's good at finding things is true or not, it doesn't matter because he believes it. The dynamic between Isabel and Walter is that Isabel fears it, doesn't understand it, whereas Leo understands it and embraces it. that the relationship is like, "Let's help you. Let's get fixed." The thing is Leo and ‑‑ the dynamic between Leo and Walter is that Leo may or may not believe it to be true, but he knows that it's true to Walter. So he supports that."
But despite venturing into Walter's darker corners, the series' tone will be consistently smart-alec-y. "The thing that drew me to the character and the show, was that Hart, Barry, these guys have created a character where a leading man can be quirky," reveals Stults. "I love the fact that Walter ‑‑ the way they wrote it and the way that I approach it is that Walter -- doesn't take himself seriously.
Co-star Duncan insists that Stults "is EXACTLY like Walter. He is not acting. Everything you see Walter Sherman do, I see him do it when the cameras are not rolling. He is naturally quirky. He's goofy. He's complicated. I mean, he doesn't study his lines. He has them taped everywhere. He tapes them to my chest."
"It's a big chest," shrugs Stults. "I can put a lot of s**t on it."
"I think that Walter runs a huge range of masculinity," adds Hanson. "Sometimes he will shriek when he sees things, and other times he will attack a hit man. It depends on his ‑‑ how threatened he feels and how much he's understanding what's happening around him. He needs a lifeguard. I think of Walter and Leo as a bit like an id and a superego where Leo connects with actual social situations. And Walter has none of that. It's a great story engine for us to have a lead character who is never held back by social constraints, much like ['Bones' leading lady] Brennan, for a different reason, but it's the same thing. He says what he thinks. He blurts. He's insulting. And there's this decent, big‑hearted man kind of cleaning up behind him and is simultaneously keeping people from killing him."
"The Finder" debuts tonight at 8 PM ET on Fox

We recently moved and for about three months now we have used a new Cable Television service called Comcast. Many of you already use it, but those of you who do not, can't understand what a difference it makes in your everyday life.
Cable is cable right? It's not the case and believe me, I feel like I'm a professional mover sometimes because we have moved 14 times in 18 years. My job is interesting, and it requires that I move to different parts of the country frequently enough that things like Cable are a line item for me.
The Internet has been a large part of what I do for about 13 of those 18 years. So I like to get a bundle package if I can because work will pay for my cable television that way 🙂 With Comcast not only can I get the Cable and the Internet but I got unlimited phone service too. It's a package called Triple Play and it's really a great deal.
They have many tiers so you can pick the triple play package that makes sense to you (with or without premium content, etc..).
The installation was easy, the guy came out and took care of everything. He went through all of my equipment and made sure everything worked the right way before he left.
My package called for 15-18 megabit down and 3 up. So when I did a speed test and saw that I was getting 27 down and 4 up I was pretty happy although in the back of my mind I was thinking "This is a burst speed it will go down later when I start downloading or after a week or so".
I was wrong. I've been downloading at 2.6 – 2.9 MEGABYTES per second sustained for 3 months. Obviously I'm not doing that 24/7 but I have downloaded movies, music, and everything else people like to download during that time along with some not too small files from work. I have not seen a speed less than 2.4 MEGABYTES per second.
Network latency is a big deal as well. If you like to play online games your "PING TIME" which is latency matters. It is the time it takes for a packet of data to leave your computer, get to its destination and return with a response. A decent latency is about 80 milliseconds in a game. It's actually what I used to average using Time Warner to my favorite game. The lower the number the faster your ability to respond in your game will be. It gives you a distinct advantage and without it, you are just one of the many noobs looking to get harvested by the elite. Pwned if you will. You can imagine my elation to see 42 millisecond ping times to my favorite game.
Because of Comcast many noobs have fallen in battle 😉
The phone service is something I haven't really had a good look at. I use my cellphone most of the time so I'm going to have to get back to you on call quality. To be honest we don't actually own a real phone to plug into it and I haven't had time to go out and grab one at a store.
On the Cable Television side things couldn't be better. We have all the movie channels and ON DEMAND has made the movie channels worth watching because you can see the content on your schedule. The reason we never got them before is we never had the time to sit down and watch the movies we wanted to on THEIR SCHEDULE. It's great to do it on ours. You just click the on demand button on the remote control and select what you want to see from the menu. It's that simple.
Another big thing that is new from Comcast is 3D television. If you own a 3D television you can go into the ON DEMAND menu and select 3D content to view. They have quite a large number of free things to see and a good selection of stuff you pay to view. Definitely a lot of fun and saves you a trip to the video store.
So far I really have to say I am impressed with Comcast. I'll keep you posted every 3 months to tell you how things are going and circle back on call quality with the VOIP phone solution they have.

Great shots of the beach. Congratulations to your husband - he did good!
I started looking into picmonkey, since photobucket has changed their edit program and not to the better. :( So far picmonkey and picasa does not have some of the features I used on PB, but maybe they will soon.
Have a great week.

I love a big film release, not only is it fun to see a blockbuster at the cinema, it also brings out the best red carpet fashion outside of award season and Cannes. For Noah, the epic biblical-inspired movie, I thought I would be gushing about Emma Watson, granted I have already and she has looked gorgeous, but for me this promo tour has all been about Jennifer Connelly, who plays Noah's wife in the film, as she has looked sensational.
I have loved every look she has worn, from the exquisite floral embellished Alexander McQueen gown from the autumn/winter 2014 collection that she wore to the London premiere to the blush pink Givenchy Couture gown that she wore in Mexico, this gown was Oscar worthy and it was lovely to see her in it – the fuchsia jewels were incredible and it fitted her perfectly.
Jennifer has also added a touch of sex appeal to her red carpet looks as well as statement floor length gowns, I really loved her in this gorgeous mint leaf-embroidered Giambattista Valli Couture mini – that ruby-embellished neckline totally makes this one knockout look. This Madrid look was also one of my favourite make-up looks from Jennifer as well – the fuchsia lip teamed with a slick bun really makes this one amazing look – both elegant and sexy.
Actually ever detail about her Noah promo tour has been spot on – from the mix up of designers, which is nice to see, to the various hair and make-up styles that she has gone for, as well as her love of embellished and classic pieces – her stylist Leslie Fremar and glam squad really have done a great job.
It is hard to choose a favourite look, I love her classic custom Lanvin black velvet column gown that she wore in Berlin, because the thigh-high slit was classy and went perfectly with those Christian Louboutin heels and her hair styled in a tucked-under 'do is divine, but I think the pink embellished Givenchy Couture just wins out for me as this gown deserved a red carpet appearance.
Which of Jennifer Connelly's styles gets your vote?

Its my (limited) understanding that the Anglo-Saxons wore trousers of a sort. Later in the middle ages people wore first short hose, then long separate hose, and finally joined hose. Although joined hose were surely tighter fitting than Anglo-Saxon trousers, leg covering seem to have come full circle back to something very similar to an earlier time.
Does anyone know why this was? Was it just fashion?

Serial Driver and Console
While early printk is rather useful, you still need to get the real serial driver working.
Assuming you have a standard serial port, there are two ways to add serial support: static defines and run-time setup.
With static defines, you modify the 'include/asm-mips/serial.h' file. Looking through the code, it is not difficult to figure out how to add support for your board's serial port(s).
As more boards are supported by Linux/MIPS, the 'serial.h' file gets crowded. One potential solution is to do run-time serial setup. Sometimes run-time serial setup is necessary if any of the parameters can only be detected at the run-time where settings are read from a non-volatile memory device or an option is passed on the kernel command line.
There are two elements to consider for doing run-time serial setup:
- Reserve the 'rs_table[]' size, see the 'drivers/char/serial.c' file. Unfortunately there is not a clean way to accomplish this yet. A temporary workaround is to define CONFIG_SERIAL_MANY_PORTS in 'arch/mips/config-shared.in' for your board. This configuration reserves up to 64 serial port entries for your board!
- Call the 'early_serial_setup()' routine in your board setup routine. Here is a piece of sample run-time initialization code.
Serial parameters
Most of the parameter settings are rather obvious. Here is a list of some less obvious ones:
- line
- Only used for run-time serial configuration. It is the index into the 'rs_table[] array'.
- io_type
- io_type determines how your serial registers are accessed. Two common types are SERIAL_IO_PORT and SERIAL_IO_MEM.
A SERIAL_IO_PORT type driver uses the inb/outb macros to access registers whose base address is at port. In other words, if you specify SERIAL_IO_PORT as the io_type, you should also specify the port parameter.
For SERIAL_IO_MEM, the driver uses readb/writeb macros to access regsiters whose address is at iomem_base plus a shifted offset. The number of digits shifted is specified by iomem_reg_shift. For example, all the serial registers are placed at 4-byte boundary, then you have an iomem_reg_shift of 2.
Generally SERIAL_IO_PORT is for serial ports on an ISA bus and SERIAL_IO_MEM is for memory-mapped serial ports. There are also SERIAL_IO_HUB6 and SERIAL_IO_GSC. The HUB6 was a multi-port serial card produced by Bell Technologies. The GSC is a special bus found on PA-RISC systems. These options will not be used on any MIPS boards.
Non-standard serial ports
If you have a non-standard serial port, you will have to write your own serial driver.
Some people derive their code from the standard serial driver. Unfortunately this is a very daunting task. The 'drivers/char/serial.c' file has over 6000 lines of code!
The generic serial way
In Linux 2.4 there is an easier alternative. There is a generic serial driver, 'drivers/char/generic_serial.c'. This file provides a set of serial routines that are hardware independent. Then your task is to provide only the routines that are hardware dependent such as the interrupt handler routine and low-level I/O functions. There are plenty of examples. Just look inside the 'drivers/char/Makefile' and look for drivers that link with 'generic_serial.o' file.
The drivers/serial way
In Linux 2.6 there is an other, even simpler alternative to the generic serial way described above. In fact, Linux 2.6 deprecates serial drivers in drivers/char and the only ones still left there are old drivers that haven't been rewritten yet. The new way of doing things is using the drivers/serial/serial_core.c infrastructure, which allows to write a very simple serial driver.
Writing the kernel console driver
First of all, the kernel needs a very simple serial driver that only allows to output characters. It should not use interrupts nor DMA to be as simple as possible. It is used to display all kernel messages printed with printk().
Let's say our strange chipset is named //foo// in the rest of the article. Start by creating the file
drivers/serial/foo-console.c. You should at least include the following files :
#include <linux/console.h> #include <linux/tty.h> #include <linux/tty_flip.h> #include <linux/serial.h> #include <linux/serial_core.h>
You need to write two functions :
static void foo_console_write(struct console *co, const char *s, unsigned count), which should write the
count characters from the string
s to the serial port. For example, it can simply loop on each character of the string and call an internal function which aims at writing a single character to the serial port. With most chipsets, outputting a character is simply a matter of writing the ASCII value of this character to a specific hardware register, and then wait for a busy bit to clear in another register before leaving the function. It is recommended to use polling here instead of interrupts.
static __init int foo_console_setup(struct console *co, char *options), which should initialize the serial port hardware according to the given
options. If your serial hardware is already initialized by the Firmware, then you don't need to do anything in this function.
Now, write a simple structure that describes the kernel console :
static struct console sercons = { .name = "ttyS", .write = foo_console_write, .device = uart_console_device, .setup = foo_console_setup, .flags = CON_PRINTBUFFER, .index = -1, .data = &foo_reg };
foo_reg is a
struct uart_driver structure, for example :
struct uart_driver mv64340_reg = { .owner = THIS_MODULE, .driver_name = FOO_SERIAL_NAME, .dev_name = "ttyS", .major = TTY_MAJOR, .minor = 64, .nr = FOO_SERIAL_NR, };
Then, write a simple function that will initialize the kernel console serial driver :
static int __init foo_console_init(void) { register_console(&sercons); return 0; }
And make sure this function gets called during initialization :
Writing the real serial driver
The code and informations of this section are based on a Linux Journal article "The Serial Driver Layer" by Greg Kroah-Hartman, which is available online at http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6331. The code of the article, a Tiny TTY driver is available at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/docs/linux-journal/listings/issue104/6331l1.txt
Now, you want to use /dev/ttySx devices, for example to run shells on your platform. You need a real serial driver. Let's create the file
To implement a driver using the //serial_core// architecture, we need to implement several functions, which are listed in the
uart_ops structure, so you can start by defining such a structure :
static struct uart_ops foo_ops = { .tx_empty = foo_tx_empty, .set_mctrl = foo_set_mctrl, .get_mctrl = foo_get_mctrl, .stop_tx = foo_stop_tx, .start_tx = foo_start_tx, .stop_rx = foo_stop_rx, .enable_ms = foo_enable_ms, .break_ctl = foo_break_ctl, .startup = foo_startup, .shutdown = foo_shutdown, .type = foo_type, .release_port = foo_release_port, .request_port = foo_request_port, .config_port = foo_config_port, .verify_port = foo_verify_port, .set_termios = foo_set_termios, };
There is quite a lot of functions that you have to implement if you want all functionnalities. But if you only want a simple serial console, only a subset of them is really needed. Let's define empty functions for the one that are useless :
static unsigned int foo_tx_empty(struct uart_port *port) { return 0; } static void foo_set_mctrl(struct uart_port *port, unsigned int mctrl) { } static unsigned int foo_get_mctrl(struct uart_port *port) { return 0; } static void foo_break_ctl(struct uart_port *port, int break_state) { } static void foo_enable_ms(struct uart_port *port) { } static void foo_release_port(struct uart_port *port) { } static int foo_request_port(struct uart_port *port) { return 0; } static void foo_config_port(struct uart_port *port, int flags) { } static int foo_verify_port(struct uart_port *port, struct serial_struct *ser) { return 0; } static void foo_set_termios(struct uart_port *port, struct termios *new, struct termios *old) { }
We still have to implement
foo_startup and
foo_shutdown. You might wonder why you don't see any //write//, //read//, //input// or //output// function. This is because the //serial_core// infrastructure rely on interrupts.
To transmit data, the //serial_core// infrastructure calls
foo_start_tx, which should enable transmission on the serial port. As there's nothing to transmit, the serial port will issue an interrupt that acknowledge the end of a transmission. In the interrupt handler, you can now fetch the data to be sent, and send them to the serial port. If there is a lot of data, you won't be able to send it at once. So, you will wait the next interrupt that acknowledge the end of a transmission to send more data. During this process, you inform the //serial_core// infrastructure how many bytes have already been sent. When //serial_core// is happy with what you did, it will call
foo_stop_tx to stop transmission.
When a character is received by the serial device, an interrupt is issued. The corresponding interrupt handler has to forward the characters to the //serial_core// infrastructure. The
foo_stop_rx function is not used in the reception process.

A photographer captured an early bird's-eye view of the village of Deerfield, Massachusetts, from the highest point of land, Pocumtuck Mountain. The village street, defined by the houses on either side, has been planted with shade trees, but the steeple of the meetinghouse rises above them. The Deerfield River, a liquid roadway, flows north along the western edge of the farm fields, to join the Connecticut River in Greenfield. Cultivated for nearly 2000 years, first by the Pocumtucks and later, in the 17th century, by the English, the cleared land extends east and west from the main street.

text: Share: August 28, 2011 Climate Change Strange things are happening at the top of the Earth. Each summer, the Arctic Ocean, which is normally blanketed in floating sea ice, is losing more and more of its ice cover. Since satellites began monitoring the Arctic in the 1970s, sea ice has been retreating. Summer ice cover has declined by more than 50 percent, and new winter ice is much thinner, making it prone to melting.Loss of sea ice is anticipated to affect polar bear survival. The animals rely on ice as they traverse their traditional hunting areas.Reduced ice cover will also open the Arctic Ocean to economic possibilities, from new shipping routes to oil and natural gas exploration. Northern nations are already scrambling to establish claims on the Arctic's sea floor.But there are other changes underfoot as well.Crystalline and white — ice has what scientists call a "high albedo." Simply put, this means it reflects back a high percentage of the sunlight that hits it. Albedo is what makes you reach for a white shirt on a sunny day; it also helps explain why black parking lots are so hot.When "high albedo" Arctic sea ice melts away, the ocean's darker "low albedo" waters become more effective at absorbing solar radiation. Glaciologists predict the Arctic will be ice-free within a couple of decades. Loss of ice will lower the Earth's ability to reflect sunlight and warm the waters of the Arctic Ocean.It is interesting to put these changes in albedo in the context of our current concerns about global warming.Each year the Earth receives about 340 watts per square meter of incoming solar radiation. The natural greenhouse effect warms the planet by trapping outgoing solar radiation (153 watts per square meter). Humans have enhanced the natural greenhouse effect by accumulating carbon dioxide and other gases in our atmosphere (adding 2.3 watts per square meter). Some of this addition has been offset by our propensity to disperse dusts and other reflective particles in the air (minus 1.2 watts per square meter).So at the end of this equation, the current climate crisis is being driven by humans trapping an additional 1.1 watts per square meter of solar radiation. And the loss of polar ice will up this figure by an additional 0.7 watts per square meter, adding another 64 percent to the net warming because of human activities.In a very real sense, current warming leads to future warming, which climate scientists call cryogenic (ice-caused) feedback.Fortunately, one thing that the loss of sea ice will not do is raise the sea level. When floating ice melts, it does not increase the total volume of the oceans. Rather, rising sea level derives from the melting of ice on land, including Greenland and Antarctica, and from an increase in the temperature of the ocean's waters themselves, which causes them to expand.It is also interesting that the sea ice surrounding Antarctica has shown relatively little change during the past few decades, even as the ice pack on the Antarctic continent has declined slightly. The warming in the Arctic seems to be several paces ahead of Antarctica.Nevertheless, the cryogenic feedback in the Arctic is a newly appreciated and alarming aspect of ongoing global climate changes —largely warming — wrought by humans. Loss of the Arctic's high albedo could lead to a significantly warmer planet, even if we were to curb our use of fossil fuels immediately.Debate about the reality of global warming is likely to punctuate the already acrimonious presidential election in 2012. There is no doubt the climate has changed in the past because of natural causes. But, there is also no doubt that it is changing now is ways that cannot be explained solely by nature.Human activities are leaving an imprint on our planetary home, for which we must anticipate the effects, the costs and the costs of inaction. There is a lot happening out there. Share: Feature Ice loss a growing concern › August 28, 2011

'Sugar Ann' snap peas are among the earliest varieties to ripen.
What's not to like about peas? The fresh green pods are the epitome of spring. That sweet burst of flavor that explodes in your mouth gives the nod to enjoy the cool spring days, which precede the warm days ahead. Peas are the perfect accompaniment to the sparkling greens of spring, and a quick stop at early farmers markets should give you all you need for delicious spring dining.
There are so many types of peas (Pisum sativum), from garden or English peas that must be shelled, to snap and snow peas with edible pods. If you are purchasing, make sure to ask the farmer which is which, so you know exactly how to prepare them. Since peas are so versatile and can be eaten fresh or cooked, there are a myriad of recipes to take advantage of the early harvest.
'Super Sprint' snap peas can be eaten in their entirety when the peas inside are young, or left to mature to produce a shelling pea.
Pod Types
Simply shelling garden peas or snapping edible pod peas and tossing them into salads will give you a burst of spring flavor.
Lightly cooked spring peas make a delectably sweet pureed soup when mixed with sautéed onions and garlic, and of course, a touch of fresh cream (or half and half).
Peas have a texture similar to avocado, so try processing fresh peas until smooth and adding to your favorite guacamole recipe. The sweetness of the peas is perfect with creamy avocados. The lime juice will keep the avocados as bright green as the peas and give a piquancy that delights the senses.
Grow Your Own
All types of peas need similar growing conditions and they are so easy to grow that it's a waste not to get them in the ground every year. They finish their season early, so their garden space can be filled with summer vegetables, such as green beans or cucumbers.
Some pea varieties are compact, not growing much more than 2 feet, but others can produce vines that are 4-5 feet tall. And even though the seed package may say the peas don't need support, putting them on a trellis or fencing will make them produce better and be much easier to pick. Branches from pruned trees or shrubs stuck in the ground make a great trellis.
'Oregon Giant' snow peas will keep producing well into summer, long after other peas have given up.
Green Pea Dip Bruschetta
Green pea bruschetta will make a surprising addition to your tapas bar. Easy- to-make, green pea puree serves well as a spread or dip for vegetables.
Plant Early
Peas can be planted out in spring, a month before the last frost, and then again in late summer for harvest in fall. The earlier the start they get, the better they will produce, since they tend to shut down as soon as the weather gets hot.
Soak the pea seeds overnight to help with germination, and sprinkle the peas with legume inoculant, if you haven't grown peas before. If you grow peas every year, take a shovelful of soil from the old planting site to inoculate the new planting bed.
Peas thrive in average garden soil that is well drained and rich with organic matter. Best of all, they need no fertilizer. Prepare your planting bed and poke the seeds 1 inch deep in a row about 2 inches apart on both sides of a trellis. When the peas appear, tuck about 2 inches of organic mulch around the plants. As they grow, gently direct the vines onto the trellis. The plants will do the rest.
Harvest daily. Pick garden peas when the pods are plump and shiny. Pick snow peas when the peas inside are just beginning to show, and snap peas when they are plump, but not bumpy with mature peas inside. If you make it to the kitchen with any peas that aren't eaten along the way, refrigerate immediately to stop the sugars from turning to starch. Blanch and freeze what you cannot eat in a couple of days.
Peas are beautiful when used as ornamentals, too, such as 'Blue Pod' peas and 'Swiss Giant' snow peas, which have lavender flowers.
Pea Shoots
Pea shoots are a delicious, healthy addition to salads and soups.
Leftover pea seeds from last year? Since it's a good idea to start your outdoor pea crop with new seeds each year, use these extra pea seeds to make a delectable crop of vitamin-packed pea shoots.
First make sure the pea seeds have not been treated with a fungicide (it will say so on the seed packet). Next, soak the peas overnight in warm water.
Get a flat tray ready with 1 inch or so of sterile potting soil. A flat that annuals come in from the garden center works well, because it has drainage holes. Make sure to put a tray underneath to catch the drips.
Gently moisten the soil and sprinkle the surface with the soaked peas. They can be quite crowded, since you are not growing them to maturity. Don't poke down into the soil and don't cover with more soil. This will slow down germination.
Cover the flat with another flat, a roasting pan or something to keep the humidity high. Check daily. Once the seeds germinate, remove the cover and move into the light.
You can start harvesting when the shoots are 3-4 inches tall. It will take about three to four weeks to get to this size. If they get much taller, they tend to get tougher.Snip the shoots close to the seed, gently wash and refrigerate. You may be able to get a second growth, but this is not always successful. Then, put the seed and roots into the compost bin and start again with new seeds and fresh soil.

This section helps you port MySQL to other operating systems. Do check the list of currently supported operating systems first. See http://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/database.html. If you have created a new port of MySQL, please let us know so that we can list it here and on our Web site (http://www.mysql.com/), recommending it to other users.
If you create a new port of MySQL, you are free to copy and distribute it under the GPL license, but it does not make you a copyright holder of MySQL.
A working POSIX thread library is needed for the server.
Both the server and the client need a working C++ compiler. We use
gcc on many platforms. Other compilers that are
known to work are Sun Studio, HP-UX aCC, IBM
AIX xlC_r), Intel ecc/icc.
With previous versions on the respective platforms, we also used
cc and Compaq
If you are trying to build MySQL 5.0 with icc on the IA64 platform, and need support for MySQL Cluster, you should first ensure that you are using icc version 9.1.043 or later. (For details, see Bug #21875.)
To compile only the client, use ./configure --without-server.
If you want or need to change any
Makefile or
the configure script, you also need GNU
Automake and Autoconf. See
Section 2.17.2, "Installing MySQL Using a Development Source Tree".
All steps needed to remake everything from the most basic files.
/bin/rm */.deps/*.P /bin/rm -f config.cache aclocal autoheader aclocal automake autoconf ./configure --with-debug=full --prefix='your installation directory' # The makefiles generated above need GNU make 3.75 or newer. # (called gmake below) gmake clean all install init-db
If you run into problems with a new port, you may have to do some debugging of MySQL! See Section 21.3.1, "Debugging a MySQL Server".
Before you start debugging mysqld, first get
the test programs
mysys/thr_alarm and
mysys/thr_lock to work. This ensures that
your thread installation has even a remote chance to work!

Educational Inequalities and School Dropout in Greece
This paper reviews the research pertaining to school termination or "dropping out" of school in Greece. This work provides information on the state of educational policies in Greece dealing with issues of social inequalities and focusing on the increasing phenomenon of school drop out in the country. Educational inequality, as this is expressed in terms of school dropout, seems to persist in Greek education. It seems to be related to the specific characteristics of various regions. We could safely argue therefore, that there is a regional dimension in educational inequality in Greece. For the classification of the 54 regional units in Greece, based on the phenomenon of school drop out, we used the hierarchical cluster analysis with the criterion of Ward for the creation of the clusters that been characterized by the smallest loss of information and the squared Euclidean distance as distance measure between the observations.

In a video released by the Obama campaign, a tearful president thanks his campaign workers. NBC's Chuck Todd reports.
President Barack Obama was among those who got teary eyed Wednesday during a surprise visit to his Chicago-based 2012 campaign headquarters, according to a campaign team video posted to YouTube.
"What you guys have done means that the work that I'm doing is important, and I'm really proud of that. I'm really proud of you," he said before choking up, turning his head and wiping away a tear.
The president spoke for about five minutes into a microphone while hundreds of volunteers, many of whom climbed desks to get a better vantage point, listened intently.
When the president's emotions became visible, the room erupted into applause in a unified show of support.
The commander in chief told the campaign workers he had no doubt they would go on to do "just amazing things."
"You guys are so much better than I was in so many ways," he said after recalling his move to Chicago at age 25 with a goal of public service but with little direction. "You're smarter and you're better organized and you're more effective."
Obama said that even before election returns started rolling in on Tuesday evening, the pride he felt for his team made him feel as though the work he had done in running for office had come full circle.
"Your journey is just beginning. You're just starting and whatever good we do in the next four years will pale in comparison to what you guys end up accomplishing for years and years to come," he told them.

Zombie apocalypse to be featured on Mason's maskby Adam Kimelman
LANGHORNE, Pa. -- This September, the zombie apocalypse is coming Philadelphia.
Well, at least it's coming to the goal crease at Wells Fargo Center.
For his mask this season, Philadelphia Flyers goalie Steve Mason will have a historical-themed zombie invasion of Philadelphia set during the time of the Declaration of Independence.
The mask is being painted by Franny Drummond, who runs PaintZoo and will feature the Betsy Ross, Benjamin Franklin and George Washington, as well as other historical figures -- all in zombie form.
Drummond credited Mason with the initial idea of zombies when they spoke in June. Mason's previous masks featured items you'd see in a scary movie -- skeletons, skulls and lots of injury-type stitches either holding things together or being torn apart. Drummond said he and the goaltender have spent most of the summer exchanging ideas.
"He said, 'I want horror, but without a horror movie,' " Drummond told NHL.com. "He [Mason] said, 'why don't we do Ben Franklin as a zombie,' [and] I said, 'I guess we could do it.' I said I'll do sketches, over the summer we'll go back and forth over design work, and this is basically what I came up with. Betsy Ross, any historical figures, and taking it and making it into a zombie apocalypse that hit Philadelphia in 1776."
One side of the mask will feature a zombie form of Ross, the famed Revolutionary War-era seamstress, sewing an American flag while backlit by a lone candle and what Drummond called "an eerie fireplace" that leaves her with an orange glow.
"This mask is going to have a lot of glowing, very eerie," he said. "That's why with Betsy Ross, if you notice the background, she's got the candle with the smoke coming up. She's going to be black and white like an old photograph, and then it'll have a little bit of backlit, so you'll see the orange glow off her shoulder."
The other side will have zombie versions of Washington and Franklin, along with other zombies around the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. Across the top will be a Flyers logo tweaked to go with the zombie motif.
"We have the logo, and it's going to be like she [Ross] stitched it to the mask," Drummond said. "Ben Franklin, him with the key, he's kind of giving the key to the city. Just weird stuff. He loves stitches. We're going to keep that feel."
Drummond said the chin portion remains a work in progress, but it will have Mason's name in some form, possibly in a combination of old-school Flyers uniform with the zombie twist -- a white nameplate on an orange background, similar to what the Flyers have on their jerseys, with stitches holding it in place.
"We were thinking it would be kind of neat with the old-school look," Drummond said. "Where you see the small stiches on the chin. But we might go with something more zombie-looking lettering. And the backplate is pretty open. We'll probably continue the theme; maybe have a zombie peeking around a strap, maybe an ex-president."
And there might be more zombie masks to come for Mason; perhaps a season-long series featuring different Philadelphia historical figures in zombie form.
"Derek [Settlemyre, Flyers head equipment manager] said he changes them constantly," Drummond said. "He's always changing gear, so you get a new lid and go."
Drummond has done a number of masks for Flyers goalies during the past few years, including ones for Brian Boucher and Ilya Bryzgalov, as well as Bernie Parent's mask for the 2012 NHL Winter Classic alumni game. But the Mason mask already ranks among his favorites.
"I'm excited about this," he said. "I'm pumped about this one."
