'12 Years a Slave' Rises Up at Academy Awards
Steve McQueen's slavery odyssey, based on Solomon Northup's 1853 memoir, has been hailed as a landmark corrective to the movie industry's virtual blindness to slavery, instead creating whiter tales like 1940 best-picture winner "Gone With the Wind." ''12 Years a Slave" is the first best-picture winner directed by a black filmmaker.
By The Associated Press Monday, March 3, 2014 11:50 a.m. CST
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Perhaps atoning for past sins, Hollywood named the brutal, unshrinking historical drama "12 Years a Slave" best picture at the 86th annual Academy Awards.
"Everyone deserves not just to survive, but to live," said McQueen, who dedicated the honor to those, past and present, who have endured slavery. "This is the most important legacy of Solomon Northup."
The normally reserved McQueen promptly bounced up and down on stage, later matter-of-factly explaining his joy physically took over: "So, Van Halen. Jump."
A year after celebrating Ben Affleck's "Argo" over Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences opted for stark realism over more the plainly entertaining candidates: the 3-D space marvel "Gravity" and the starry 1970s caper "American Hustle."
Those two films came in as the leading nominee getters. David O. Russell's "American Hustle" went home empty-handed, but "Gravity" triumphed as the night's top award-winner. Cleaning up in technical categories like cinematography and visual effects, it earned seven Oscars including best director for Alfonso Cuaron. The Mexican filmmaker is the category's first Latino winner.
"It was a transformative experience," said Cuaron, who spent some five years making the film and developing its visual effects. "For a lot of people, that transformation was wisdom. For me, it was the color of my hair." To his star Sandra Bullock, the sole person on screen for much of the lost-in-space drama, he said: "Sandra, you are 'Gravity.'"
But history belonged to "12 Years a Slave," a modestly budgeted drama produced by Brad Pitt's production company, Plan B, that has made $50 million worldwide — a far cry from the more than $700 million "Gravity" has hauled in.
Ellen DeGeneres, in a nimble second stint as host that seemed designed as an antidote to the crude humor of Seth MacFarlane last year, summarized the academy's options in her opening monologue: "Possibility number one: '12 Years a Slave' wins best picture. Possibility number two: You're all racists."
DeGeneres presided over a smooth if safe ceremony, punctuated by politics, pizza and photo-bombing. Freely circulating in the crowd, she had pizza delivered, appealing to Harvey Weinstein to pitch in, and gathered stars to snap a selfie she hoped would be a record-setter on Twitter. (It was: Long before midnight, the photo had been retweeted more than 2 million times and momentarily crashed Twitter.) One participant, Meryl Streep, giddily exclaimed: "I've never tweeted before!"
But in celebrating a movie year roundly considered an exceptionally deep one, the Oscars fittingly spread the awards around. The starved stars of the Texas AIDS drama "Dallas Buyers Club" were feted: Matthew McConaughey for best actor and Jared Leto for best supporting actor.
McConaughey's award capped a startling career turnaround, a conscious redirection by the actor to tack away from the romantic comedies he regularly starred in, and move toward more challenging films.
"It sort of feels like a culmination," he said backstage.
Leto passed around his Oscar to members of the press backstage, urging them to "fondle" it. The long-haired actor, who has devoted himself in recent years to his rock band 30 Seconds to Mars, gravely vowed: "I will revel tonight."
Cate Blanchett took best actress for her fallen socialite in Woody Allen's "Blue Jasmine," her second Oscar. Accepting the award, she challenged Hollywood not to think of films starring women as "niche experiences": "The world is round, people!" she declared to hearty applause.
Draped in Nairobi blue, Lupita Nyong'o — the Cinderella of the awards season — won best supporting actress for her indelible impression as the tortured slave Patsey. It's the feature film debut for the 31-year-old actress.
"It doesn't escape me for one moment that so much joy in my life is thanks to so much pain in someone else's, and so I want to salute the spirit of Patsy for her guidance," said Nyong'o. She also thanked director Steve McQueen: "I'm certain that the dead are standing about you and they are watching and they are grateful, and so am I."
John Ridley won best adapted screenplay for "12 Years a Slave," shifting praise to Northup: "Those are his words. That is his life." Spike Jonze took best original screenplay for his futuristic romance "Her," the category Russell had the best chance of winning.
Though the ceremony lacked a big opening number, it had a steady musical beat to it. To a standing ovation, Bono and U2 played an acoustic version of "Ordinary Love," from "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom." Pharrell Williams had Streep and Leonardo DiCaprio dancing in the aisles with "Happy" from "Despicable Me 2."
Pink was cheered for her rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," part of a 75th anniversary tribute to "The Wizard of Oz." And Bette Midler sang — what else? — "Wind Beneath My Wing" for the in memoriam segment — an especially heartfelt one, considering the deaths of Philip Seymour Hoffman, Harold Ramis, James Gandolfini and others.
Best documentary went to the crowd-pleasing backup singer ode "20 Feet From Stardom." One of its stars, Darlene Love, accepted the award singing the gospel tune "His Eye Is on the Sparrow": "I sing because I'm happy/ I sing because I'm free."
Disney's global hit "Frozen" won best animated film, marking — somewhat remarkably — the studio's first win in the 14 years of the best animated feature category. (Pixar, which Disney owns, has regularly dominated.) The film's hit single, "Let It Go," won best original song.
"We're all just trying to make films that touch people," said co-director Chris Buck backstage. "Once in a while, you get lucky."
Though the Oscar ceremony is usually a glitzy bubble separate from real-world happenings, international events were immediately referenced. In his acceptance speech, Leto addressed people in Ukraine and Venezuela.
"We are here and as you struggle to make your dreams happen, to live the impossible, we're thinking of you," said Leto.
Russian state-owned broadcaster Channel One Russia said it would not broadcast the Oscars live because of the necessity for news coverage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula. It will instead transmit the Oscars early Tuesday morning, local time.
Venezuelan protesters, via social media, urged Oscar winners to bring attention to their plight. Anti-government protests have roiled the country in recent weeks.
Italy's "The Great Beauty" won the Oscar for best foreign language film. In accepting the award for his rumination on life and Rome's decadence, director Paolo Sorrentino thanked his heroes, including Federico Fellini, Martin Scorsese and soccer star Diego Maradona.
In her opening, DeGeneres gently mocked Hollywood's insularity, referring to the headlines that have swamped the Los Angeles area lately with a slightly less serious news event.
"It has been raining," said DeGeneres. "We're fine. Thank you for your prayers."
ABC, which aired the ceremony, hoped the drama of a razor-thin best-picture race would be enough to entice viewers. The show last year drew an audience of 40.3 million, up from 39.3 million the year before when the silent-film ode "The Artist" won best picture.
There was a sense of deja vu Sunday. As she hit the red carpet, "American Hustle" star Jennifer Lawrence briefly collapsed in a heap of laughter, just as she tripped ascending the stairs last year to accept best actress for "Silver Linings Playbook."
"If you win tonight," said DeGeneres, "I think we should bring you the Oscar."
No delivery was needed, as the night belonged to "12 Years a Slave."

Q: How do I? Magento out of stock simple products, but DO want to show configurable product (out of stock) How do I? Magento out of stock simple products, but DO want to show configurable product (out of stock)
(We sell T-shirts, in sizes)
Let me explain

*

*we have setting show out of stock products to NO

*because layered navigation counted all T-shirt sizes as available (so S would be 10, M would be 10 and L would be 10, instead stock was 6, 8 and 10 resp.) => the solution we received was to set show out of stock products to NO

*Now we have a configurable (new) product that has simple products.

*We set all the simple products to out of stock (so you cant order)

*And set the configurable (new) product to in stock.

The expected behavior would be that we see the configurable (new) product in our store. And when we click on it we cant order it.
The result now is: that the configurable (new) product does not show at all.
Now our question: how do we show the the configurable (new) product (with simple products set to out of stock)

I think there is a discrepancy here with the layered navigation needing us to select 'show out of stock products to no' when this use case would have as set it to 'show out of stock products to yes'
I hope I wrote i down a little bit clear ... hope you understand

A: Set the simple product Visibility (Catalog->Manage Product->"Select Product"->General) to "Not Visible Individually". Place the simple product to "In Stock" and add Quantity. (Simple products will not show on the front end)
The Configurable product should now show the available simple products. A configurable products inventory is based off the simple product's inventory.
Hope this helps.

The new year is all about eating healthy isn't it?
Well for me, a heathy body includes a healthy mind. And sugar is one of those necessary things to sustain a healthy mind. It is almost a daily consumption for me. And I don't mean eating a whole apple pie or chocolate cake, but a cookie or a (heaping) spoonful of Nutella.
Of course some days I will indulge more than others, and when that happens you eat a bit more broccoli or bike a little further. It's all about balance, right? Right.
Well this cinnamon sugar pull-apart bread from Joy the Baker certainly has the right qualification to sustain a healthy and happy mind. With 1100 comments, I'm betting it has left many minds happy.
I mean who doesn't love cinnamon, sugar, and soft yeasty bread, that you pull apart and let sing in your mouth. It's a pretty wonderful thing.
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula. Add the eggs and stir the mixture until the eggs are incorporated into the batter. The eggs will feel soupy and it'll seem like the dough and the eggs are never going to come together. Keep stirring. Add the remaining 3/4 cup of flour and stir with the spatula for about 2 minutes. The mixture will be sticky.
Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 20 to 30 minutes. Run a butter knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the bread and invert onto a clean board. Place a cake stand or cake plate on top of the upside down loaf, and carefully invert so it's right side up. Serve warm with coffee or tea.
This bread is best served the day it's made, but it can also we wrapped and kept at room temperature for up to 2 days.
That looks amazing. I'm going to try this!
My son just made this -- it worked perfectly, although the strips of dough were a bit long to move without a third hand.

Parents can now monitor teens with GPS ankle bracelets
TAMPA (FOX 13) - Many people have probably heard of GPS monitoring for teens - but it's usually done through an app on their cell phone.
A Clearwater company now offers GPS ankle bracelet monitoring, making their location available to parents, no matter what.
The owner of Tampa Bay Monitoring, Frank Kopczynski said he started up the service when a mother called him asking for help after her daughter kept running away.
Some people may think ankle monitoring for teens is extreme.
"I think the ankle monitor is kind of criminal, more so like they're a prisoner in a sense. It kind of takes they're free will away from them," said Nick Lapinski, a Pinellas County resident. "But, on the other hand, I think it's good because you know what you're kid is getting into."
For the parents Kopczynski serves, it's necessary.
"I average a half a dozen a week all over the country because they see this ad, and they're desperate," said Kopczynski.
The service can cost $8 or $10 a day, depending on which monitor is selected.
Kopczynski said parents come to him when they have runaways, kids doing drugs or skipping school, or teenagers getting mixed up with the wrong crowd.
"Even if they try to saw on this rubber, we know immediately that they are tampering with the device," said Kopczynski.
The ankle monitors can track where a teen goes at any time of day, and the more advanced version can even call to check up on them.
"All his friends who are likely to be getting him into trouble suddenly realize that his ankle can talk to him, and it also can hear him," said Kopczynski.
A 17-year-old boy who FOX 13 is not identifying said he wore an ankle monitor at one point.
"I was stealing cars. I was breaking into houses, so I had one on. I didn't like it. So I wouldn't want no one else to wear it," the teen said, adding it was a lesson learned.
In some cases with the ankle bracelets, Kopczynski said he recommends the parents and teens get professional help for any substance abuse or mental health issues. He also said parents have used the monitor to track teens at risk of falling into trafficking.

Unit History: Royal Warwickshire Fusiliers
56 people in our Forces Reunited records
The Royal Warwickshire Fusiliers was an infantry regiment of the British Army. The regiment traces its origins to the 17th Century. In Holland in 1674 the government retained two regiments of English troops, two of Scots and one Irish. In 1685 when James II requested their services during the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion and organised them into two units, given the precedence as the 5th and 6th Regiments of Foot. After Monmouth's defeat they returned to Holland, but when William III became king of England in 1688 they accompanied him, with their seniority being confirmed from 1685. The 6th were nicknamed "The Dutch Guards" by William. Service in Ireland followed and the regiment became involved in a number of notable campaigns; the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 and Aughrim 1691. Campaigning in Flanders 1692-1695 followed, with action at Steenkirk 1693 and the storming of Namur 1695 which was the 6th's first battle honour. Including the Napoleonic Wars, the Boer Wars, the two World Wars and the Korean War.
In 1873, they received the title the Royal Warwickshire Regiment.
In 1963, the became the Royal Warwickshire Fusiliers. Then on the 23rd April 1968, as part of the reforms of the army that saw the creation of the first 'large infantry regiment', The Warwickshire Fusilier Regiment was amalgamated with three other Fusilier regiments; the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers, the Royal Lancashire Fusiliers and the Royal Fusiliers (City of London) Regiment to form The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers

Multilevel Cell Spin-Transfer Torque Random Access Memory (MLC STT-RAM) is a promising nonvolatile memory technology to build registers for its natural immunity to electromagnetic radiation in rad-hard space environment. Unlike traditional SRAM-based registers, MLC STT-RAM exhibits unbalanced write state transitions due to the fact that the magnetization directions of hard and soft domains cannot be flipped independently. This feature leads to nonuniform costs of write states in terms of latency and energy. However, current SRAM-targeting register allocations do not have a clear understanding of the impact of the different write state-transition costs. As a result, those approaches heuristically select variables to be spilled without considering the spilling priority imposed by MLC STT-RAM. Aiming to address this limitation, this paper proposes a state-transition-aware spilling cost minimization (SSCM) policy, to save power when MLC STT-RAM is employed in register design. Specifically, the spilling cost model is first constructed according to the linear combination of different state-transition frequencies. Directed by the proposed cost model, the compiler picks up spilling candidates to achieve lower power and higher performance. Experimental results show that the proposed SSCM technique can save energy by 19.4% and improve the lifetime by 23.2% of MLC STT-RAM-based register design.
Electromagnetic radiation effects can cause several types of errors on traditional SRAM-based registers and DRAM-based memory such as single event upset (SEU) and single event functional interrupt (SEFI). Especially in aerospace where radiation is quite intense, the stability and correctness of systems are strongly affected. It is therefore essential to make electronic components and systems resistant to damage or malfunctions caused by ionizing radiation. Previous studies have shown that nonvolatile memories such as Spin-Torque Random Access Memory (STT-RAM), Phase Change Memory (PCM), Domain Wall Memory (DWM), and Flash memories [1–3] exhibit the appealing feature of soft-error immunity. Different from charge-based memories such as SRAM, NVMs such as STT-RAM, PCM, DWM, and Flash memories store data as a change in physical state. Since write operations involve changing the physical state, NVMs are resilient to radiations in the harsh space environment. Among these technologies, STT-RAM has the shortest access policy and can potentially be used to build registers. Multilevel cell STT-RAM (MLC STT-RAM) offers high storage density, and recent studies have shown that the write latency of STT-RAM can be greatly reduced by modifying the bit-cell structure or increasing write current . In this paper, we consider to build a full electromagnetic-immunity memory hierarchy consisting of MLC STT-RAM-based registers and nonvolatile main memory. The goal of this work is to effectively allocate MLC STT-RAM-based registers.
During compilation, the decision of which variables to be kept in registers at each point in the generated code is called register allocation. Typically, register allocation is modeled as a graph coloring program which is aimed at finding a k-optimal-coloring solution for the interference graph. In Chaitin's coloring , when the physical registers are insufficient to hold all the variables, that is, when a node in graph cannot be provably colored, several live ranges must be selected to spill. Since the cost to write different values in SRAM is uniform, traditional register allocators [5, 6] heuristically select potential spilling candidates without considering state-transition costs. When applied to STT-RAM-based registers, however, those techniques produce inferior spilling decisions.
For MLC STT-RAM-based registers, the programming costs of variables with different state transitions vary significantly . To minimize the overall programming energy, we propose a write state-transition-aware spilling cost minimization (SSCM) technique. First, a spilling cost model needs to be built. Then, the spilling priority order is derived based on the cost model to make a better allocation decision. In particular, this paper tends to select the potential spilling nodes with larger spilling costs. The main contributions of our paper are summarized as follows.(i)To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work which integrates the write state-transition cost of MLC STT-RAM into the spilling policy of register allocation.(ii)A cost model is proposed to quantify the spilling cost of variables in the potential spilling list.(iii)A SSCM algorithm is proposed to select the best spilling candidate with the goal of reducing the overall programming energy of MLC STT-RAM.(iv)Experiments are conducted to quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
The rest of this paper is organized as follows. The background of STT-RAM and register allocation are introduced in Section 2. Section 2.3 presents the motivation of this work. Section 3 derives the spilling cost model and presents the algorithm of SSCM-aware register allocation. A set of experiments is conducted to evaluate the proposed methods in Section 4. Finally, Section 5 concludes the paper.
This section firstly describes the resistance state transition of MLC STT-RAM and its nature of antielectromagnetic radiation and then presents the traditional graph coloring algorithm for register allocation. Finally, previous spilling heuristic is discussed.
Among all the emerging NVMs, the spin-transfer torque RAM (STT-RAM) is considered as a promising candidate for on-chip memory because of its advantages, such as low leakage, high density, fast read speed, nonvolatility, and immunity to radiation-induced soft errors . It features much better endurance and performance than other magnetic memory technologies. Compared to SRAM, it is up to 4 times denser and has much lower leakage energy. This enables the implementation of very large on-chip memories with near-zero static consumption, which alleviates both main memory stress and power consumption. High TMR (tunneling magnetoresistance ratio) motivated the research on multilevel cell (MLC) STT-RAM. In a MLC STT-RAM bit, bits are represented by states, that is, resistance. By doing so, MLC technology can effectively improve the memory density and power efficiency.
In a (SLC) STT-MRAM device, the spin of the electrons is changed using a spin-polarized current. This effect is achieved in a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). An MTJ device consists of a reference layer and a free layer. The magnetization direction (MD) of reference layer is unchanged while the MD of free layer can be flipped by applying a current through the MTJ. The MLC STT-RAM comprises 2-bit MLC cell which is adopted in this work. Two MTJs with different sizes are stacked vertically atop an NMOS transistor. The four resistance states are defined by the four combinations of different MDs of the two MTJs .
For comparison, Table 1 shows the parameters of SRAM, SLC (Single-Level Cell) STT-RAM, and MLC (multilevel cell) STT-RAM . It is known that registers are frequently written component in a system. When architecting STT-RAM for registers, the long write latency will impose great impact on both performance and energy of architectural components.
Table 1: Parameters of SRAM, SLC STT-RAM, and MLC STT-RAM.
In conventional random access memory (RAM) technologies, data are stored as electric charge or current flows. For STT-RAM, data are stored by magnetic storage elements-magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). Since STT-RAM cell does not carry electric charge, it is resilient to radiations. Such natural immunity to electromagnetic makes it an ideal candidate to replace the traditional SRAM technology and be used as registers in the harsh space environment . Samples were exposed to 2 MeV and 220 MeV protons and showed no changes in bit-state or write performances. Radiation testing results show that STT-RAM will not suffer SEUs when used in space . Thanks to its easy integration with CMOS and infinite endurance, STT-RAM has been proposed to be widely used in order to overcome the power challenge of conventional CMOS circuits . Therefore, in many harsh environments like aerospace, STT-RAM is an ideal candidate to build registers. In fact, STT-RAM-based register file has been used in [14–16] to achieve lower dynamic and leakage energy consumption. Recently, IBM researchers in collaboration with Samsung researchers demonstrated 11 nm STT-RAM junction, which is a significant achievement on the way to substitute DRAM with STT-RAM . This work proposes to build STT-RAM-based registers for embedded systems in rad-hard environment.
The resistance of an MTJ can be changed by injecting a switching current. In particular, MLC STT-RAM has two domains, a hard domain and a soft domain. The magnetic direction of the soft domain can be changed by a small current, while applying a larger current to MTJ affects both hard and soft domains. In this paper, the first bit of a 2-bit data indicates the magnetization direction of the hard domain and the second bit indicates the magnetization direction of the soft domain. States transitions of MTJ resistance can be presented in Table 2 with the following four types , where "R00" represents that the soft-bit and hard-bit are both low resistance. Similarly, "R01" stands for the soft-bit with low resistance while hard-bit is high resistance. And "R10" represents the soft-bit with high resistance while hard-bit is soft resistance. "R11" represents the soft-bit and hard-bit being both high resistance.(i)Zero transition (ZT): neither bit is changed.(ii)Soft transition (ST): only the magnetic orientation of the soft domain is switched.(iii)Hard transition (HT): the magnetic orientation of the hard domain is switched, and two domains have the same orientation.(iv)Two-step transition (TT): transition completes with two steps, including one HT followed by one ST.
Table 3 presents the rated current required to switch the state of MLC STT-RAM for each transition . When the current is larger than the rated current, the state can switch to the other. A negative value sets the current in the reverse direction, and "—" represents that a state cannot be directly converted into the other state. It can be seen that switching a hard domain requires a larger current than switching a soft domain. For a two-step transition, the required current is the sum of the absolute currents of both steps.
Table 3: Switching currents of MLC STT-RAM cell (A).
It can be seen from Table 3 that changing states has significant impact on the energy consumption of MLC STT-RAM. It is therefore preferable to spill variables with higher programming energy to save register access energy during program execution. To achieve this goal, a spilling policy taking state-transition costs into account is proposed in this paper for MLC STT-RAM-based registers.
A graph coloring based register allocation approach was designed by Chaitin et al. . Its basic data structure is the interference graph . The node in G represents live ranges, and the edge between nodes corresponds to interferences. Adjacent nodes are not allowed to simultaneously live and share the same physical register. The k-coloring problem assigns one of k colors (physical registers) to the node of G. Various phases of the process are described as follows.
Build. Construct the interference graph by scanning the entire program.
Simplify. After build, the nodes in G are, respectively, examined. Each node with a degree < C (less than C neighbors) is removed from G and pushed onto the stack. Relevant edges are also removed from graph G.
Spill. If there exists a node with degree ≥ , it will be chosen as a potential spill candidate. Once a node is marked for spilling, the node is then deleted from the graph G and pushed onto the stack.
Select. Repeatedly pop the nodes from stack and reinsert them into G. If is not a potential spilling candidate, can be assigned a free color. If is a potential spilling, may be trivially colorable; that is, it will get assigned a color. Otherwise, the node is marked for an actual spilling and remained uncolored.
Start Over. If is marked for spilling, an additional store is inserted after every definition, and a load is inserted before every use. The whole graph coloring process is started all over again.
A critical issue of register allocation is which node should be selected as a potential spilling candidate. Several approaches have been proposed to make decisions according to the sequence which registers, the degree and the number of operation , respectively (use or define ) . However, these spilling policies assume uniform write distribution and hence will fail to choose the most energy-efficient node from the potential spilling list if MLC STT-RAM is employed as register. In this paper, considering unbalanced write distribution of MLC STT-RAM, a cost model estimating node spilling cost is proposed to derive a highly efficient register allocation approach.
In this section, a motivational example is presented to show how the unbalanced costs of different write state transitions impact the spilling decision for MLC STT-RAM-based registers.
The example in Figure 1 shows a 2-coloring problem in a manner of conventional register allocation. It is assumed that four variables should be allocated with two registers. In the Simplify phase, the node will be first deleted from the interference graph and pushed onto the stack. Then there does not exist any node with a degree less than two. In this case, any one of the , , nodes can be selected for potential spilling. In the conventional approach, the three nodes are all added into the spilling list, and the compiler chooses the to-be-spilled nodes without any priority. In the example in Figure 1, node is chosen as the potential spilling target in the Simplify phase and is spilled one in the coloring phase.
Figure 1: A 2-coloring example in conventional register allocation.
In this work, since we consider registers built by MLC STT-RAM where writes with different state-transitions cost different energy, the conventional approach is not appropriate any more. Table 4 presents an example of programming a 16-bit MLC STT-RAM. It is assumed that the old value of node is "00 01 00 01 00 01 01 10" and the new value to-be-written is "10 10 11 01 00 01 11 10". The old values and new written values in nodes b and c are given in Table 4 as well. We also collect the numbers of the aforementioned state transitions. It has been presented that a TT implies one ST and one HT and a ZT for no transitions. As such, we can convert the above transitions by counting soft transitions and hard transitions as shown in the lower right part of Table 4. The results indicate that writing node costs the highest energy. It is therefore preferable to spill node .
Table 4: A statistic study of two consecutive writes to registers of eight 2-bit MLLC STT-RAM cells.
The observation indicates the impact of different state-transition costs on the potential spilling decision during register allocation. Different from conventional register allocation policies, the spilling costs with different state transitions are nonuniform in MLC STT-RAM-based registers. Motivated by this consideration, a spilling policy guided by state-transition cost analysis is proposed so as to reduce energy consumption in MLC STT-RAM.
This section first describes the framework overview of the proposed approach and then presents the spilling cost model driven by state transition of MLC STT-RAM. Finally, the algorithm for SSCM-based register allocation is presented.
Previous heuristics as described in Section 2.2 usually employ simple spilling principles. Due to the lack of a formal cost model, these heuristics fail to estimate the impact of a spilling decision on program code quality. Furthermore, since they all target SRAM-based registers where write cost of different values is uniform, none of them examine the write operation state. In other words, spilling decisions are independent of the actual cost model.
In this paper, we propose a cost-based method to choose spilling variables when MLC STT-RAM is employed as the register. In order to build a formal spilling cost model, we explore the unbalanced writes to the hard domain and soft domain of MLC STT-RAM cells and the exact state-transition cost to identify the spilling cost of each node. Then, spilling candidates are selected according to their spilling costs in the spill phase. In the following subsections, a qualitative state-transition model is first constructed for cost assessments. Then, the heuristic of SSCM-based register allocation is depicted. This algorithm extends the capability of Chaitin's algorithm  in spilling-optimization ways. Compared to traditional Chaitin's register allocation, SSCM-based register allocation can retain more cost-efficient variables in registers, thus delivering promising reduction in terms of energy consumption.
In this subsection, a spilling cost model is presented to illustrate the spilling priority, determined based on state-transition profiling information of MLC STT-RAM.
We assume that the write frequency or the number of transitions of each state can be obtained through profiling. Considering a MLC STT-RAM with 2 bits per cell, the state contains states. The write frequency of state set can be calculated as follows:where represents the number of transitions from state to state .
The number of the four state transitions can be collected by the following model:The other three states can be obtained in a similar way.
Here, denotes the required average switching current of every state transition XT and can be obtained by Table 3, while denotes the pulse duration. Then weights , , , can be obtained by normalizing to 0-1.
We calculate the write energy of every energy in MLC STT-RAM at nm technology node based on data reported in [18, 20] and assume that ns pulse duration is applied. By profiling the frequencies of the four transition events, , , , and can be obtained by normalizing the average energy of , , , to 0-1. In this way, the spilling cost model can be constructed according to (3).
Once the parameters have been finalized, we can obtain the cost for each node in graph G according to (3). Then the nodes with degree greater than are sorted based on their write cost in descending order. Finally, the node with the highest cost is selected as the spilling candidate. In this way, the model for spilling cost minimization can be constructed. We use the same cost model as the measurement of spilling priority for every remaining node. If a node with the highest priority is spilled, the register energy pressure can be reduced. In this way, the allocator can make a better decision on register assignment based on the exact STT-RAM register state-transition usage information.
Overall, the procedure of building spilling cost model is shown in Figure 2, while the entire implementation process is depicted in Algorithm 1.
Algorithm 1: The procedure of building spilling cost model.
Figure 2: The procedure of building spilling cost model.
The spilling cost model provides a sound basis for selecting potential spilling nodes. By keeping the node (variable) with less transition energy in register instead of memory, it helps avoid expensive spills when considering the state-transition costs of MLC STT-RAM.
This subsection describes the proposed SSCM-based register allocation algorithm. The basic idea is to choose the potential spilling candidate with the high spilling priority which is determined by the variable's write transition cost. The goal is to spill the node with relatively expensive write cost to memory so as to relieve the register pressure and maximize energy saving during program execution. The SSCM-based register allocation mainly consists of four steps.
Step 1. An interference graph G is employed as the basic data structure for graph coloring. Then repetitively, the variable with degree ≤ k is deleted from the interference graph G, until no node with degree ≤ k remains.
Step 2. It is assumed that is the graph resulting from G by successively deleting nodes with degree less than k. If is empty, then color the variables in reverse order of deleting.
Step 3. The number of different write state transitions of the remaining nodes is counted through profiling. Then the cost of each variable can be obtained by (3). Subsequently, the variables are sorted in descending order of spilling cost. The variable with the greatest spilling cost is marked for a potential spilling. Then the allocator gets the variable colored.
Step 4. If no color is available for the spilled variable, then stop. Otherwise, the allocator will insert the spill node, rebuild the interference graph, and start over.
The algorithm is shown in Algorithm 2 in detail. When the algorithm cannot find a variable that is trivially colorable, some variables need to be spilled (line ). The algorithm chooses the variable with the highest spilling cost as the potential spilling candidate (line ). If the variable is not colored, it is marked for an actual spilling (line ).
Algorithm 2: SSCM-based register allocation algorithm.
As discussed previously, the proposed optimistic coloring can lead to more energy-efficient register allocation by considering the nonuniform state transitions of MLC STT-RAM-based registers.
One typical concern with most profiling-based optimizations is input-dependence, that is, whether the optimizations made for a specific set of inputs will be preserved for other inputs of the same application. For the proposed SSCM scheme, it is clear that the spilling cost models are fixed given a specific programming strategy, while the write state-transition frequencies of each state vary across different applications and across different inputs. However, the optimality of SSCM depends not on the values of F, but only the descending order of node write costs. In other words, once a spilling decision is made based on a set of input, this decision preserves the maximal cost reduction for other inputs as long as the descending order of nodes remains the same, even with various frequency values. In addition, the previous work  focusing on workload characterization showed the workload characterization strategies provide potential to improve the accuracy of offline prediction of the proposed SSCM policy.
In the experimental evaluation, this paper, same as the work in , assesses all the test benches with various inputs and studies the differences in cost reduction. Regarding the proposed SSCM, two cases are evaluated: SSCM_ideal and SSCM_practical. SSCM_ideal customizes the spilling decision for different inputs of the same program, while SSCM_practical makes the spilling decision for one input and applies it to other input configurations. A comparison between the two cases shows that the impact of input variations on the optimality of SSCM is negligible, thus confirming that profiling can be done on one specific input and SSCM_practical can be employed.
In this section, the experimental setup is introduced first. Then, the experimental results for evaluating the efficacy of proposed SSCM methods are presented.
We evaluate how the proposed SSCM impacts on dynamic energy and lifetime of MLC STT-RAM. The architectural parameters of the MLC STT-RAM registers are listed in Table 5 .
Table 5: The configurations of MLC STT-RAM.
Benchmarks are selected from DSP programs and Livermore benchmarks in the experiments. Using the LLVM , the corresponding assembly code and the register write state-transition profiling can be obtained. Then the cost model can be built to guide the proposed state-transition-aware spilling heuristic in register allocation. All the experiments are implemented with the SSCM_practical deployment.
Typically, a register file is accessed in a single cycle. The cycle length is sized for the worst case. Thus, all accesses take the same amount of time. In this section, the proposed SSCM-MLC STT-RAM scheme is evaluated against the MLC STT-RAM with traditional register allocation in terms of energy efficiency and lifetime.
The consumed energy is accumulated by each 2-bit state transition in the register. Each register is 64-bit long and the bits in the same register can be programmed simultaneously . For every register, the overall energy consumption is determined by the product of each state to program and the energy of each state. So the energy improvement is impacted from the number and type of state transitions. Figure 3 presents the results of energy consumption of the SSCM scheme (SSCM-MLC) compared with conventional register allocation applied to MLC STT-RAM without considering the spilling priority (C-MLC). The results shown in Figure 3 are normalized to the C-MLC scheme. As is shown in Figure 3, for all benchmarks, wdf achieves the highest energy reduction. The reason lies that the hard/two-step transitions variables of wdf are spilled to memory and low energy zero/soft transitions variables are kept in register. It can be seen that the benchmark livermore12 is smaller than others. The underlying reason is that livermore12 has more soft transitions and zero transition. And the zero/soft transition consumes less energy than hard/two-step transition. The proposed SSCM policy spills a large amount of the zero/soft transition variable of livermore12. As a result, the overall energy consumption of livermore12 is minimal. On average, the proposed SSCM saves energy by 19.4% over C-MLC. This is mainly due to the fact that the proposed SSCM policy is able to retain the energy-efficiency variable in the register, thus saving more write energy.
Figure 3: Energy evaluation under C-MLC and SSCM-MLC register design.
The best endurance test result for SLC STT-RAM devices so far is less than cycles . For MLC STT-RAM, the larger write current exponentially degrades the lifetime of register as a result of dielectric breakdown. Furthermore, the frequent access to registers also attribute to lifetime reduction. For two registers with the physical properties, their lifetimes are decided by the number of writes (switch times under a write operation). The switch times of an MLC cell under a write operation are counted in hard domain and soft domain, separately. In Figure 4, the total number of switches represents the sum of the soft domain and the hard domain. The results show that the proposed SSCM design achieves greater switch reduction than C-MLC. Specifically, the total number of switches to soft and hard domains is reduced by 9.35%, on average. This is mainly because the SSCM scheme spills more variables with two-step state transition to memory, thus reducing the total number of switches. Overall, the MLC STT-RAM lifetime is improved by 23.2% compared to C-MLC design. As is shown in Figure 4, the switching time of the benchmark floyed is smaller than others. This is mainly because there are more two-step state transitions in the benchmark floyed so that the SSCM scheme spills more variables with the two-step state transition to memory, thus reducing the total number of switches. It can be observed that the switching time of the benchmark livermore11 is larger than others in Figure 4. The reason lies that there are more zero state transitions in the benchmark livermore11. The proposed SSCM scheme spills more variables with the zero state transition to memory, thus reducing less number of switches than others.
Figure 4: Normalized total write times under C-MLC and SSCM-MLC register design.
This paper has proposed a state-transition-aware spilling cost minimization (SSCM) scheme for energy reduction in MLC STT-RAM-based register design. First an energy cost model is built to quantitatively calculate spilling cost of each variable with a degree larger than k colors. Then the algorithm for SSCM-based register allocation is presented to choose the variable with the highest write cost to be spilled and assign the physical register to other variables. Experimental results show that the proposed SSCM scheme can achieve promising cost reduction in terms of energy consumption of registers and enlarge MLC STT-RAM lifetime as well.

The Medici's Florentine villa, now one of the world's most august galleries, has a famous garden. The original 1549 garden, designed by the sculptor, Tribolo, was similar to his work at Villa Castello. His clients were Duke Cosimo I and his strict, demanding, arrogant, but loyal Spanish wife, Eleonora of Toledo. The renaissance design was as regular as it could be on an undulating site. During the century after its inception, the garden changed and developed with help from many prominent designers. It became Florence's grandest garden, with an early baroque drama and some avenues. This suited the theatrical events which were held. The great grotto, designed by Buontalenti, is near the Palace and contains Giambologna's Venus and Michaelangelo's four Slaves. There used to be water tricks and games. The natural amphitheatre behind the Pitti Palace was made into a real amphitheatre after 1600 and continues to be for plays. The garden was then extended to the west (c1620). Walks lead up to a ridge and down to an enchanted oval garden with the famous Isoletto, an island of lemon trees and sculpture. The island has Giovanni da Bologna's statue of Oceanus, described by Burkhart as 'more simple and majestic than any other fountain in Italy or the whole western world' [Gothein p.292].


One of my absolute favorite things is to see quilts or quilted items I have made being used and loved. There really is no better way to send thanks than to send a photo of a quilt being used. I don't care if it is best used as a cape, toy blanket, draped over a lap, or draped over a chair. I love knowing that the items I make are being seen, touched, used, worn, and loved!
The newly completed Fall Placemats are also a big hit in their new home! They are loving them and each family member has already chosen "their" placemat – which is exactly why I made sure each top was a unique combination of the fabrics. Don't they look like the perfect place settings?
These photos make my heart so happy and are definitely the reason I love making quilts.
Yay!! I love this too. These people are quilt-worthy. And, I'm happy it makes you happy.
Aww those are such sweet photos!
The best kind of quilt photos, I especially love that first one.
So beautiful. Both the quilts and the toddlers! Fabulous pics!
It is so much fun to see your work put to good use. I know I love knowing what I put effort into is appreciated and loved.
So sweet and adorable. I also love knowing the quilts I make are used and loved.
Awesome photos! Great seeing your works in their new homes!
Such sweet photos!! The best thing about making quilts is to see them loved!
There's nothing more satisfying than knowing something you made is loved by the recipient. Great photos of your quilts being loved!
they are well appreciated – placemats look great!
Oh yes. That is why we do it 😉 Thanks for sharing with us.
Too right! We make stuff so it will be used and enjoyed.
You couldn't be more right! The best thing anyone can do is show how much it is being used/love/seen or anything in between! I dislike the moments when I am wondering about quilts I have made and have never heard from when it goes so long without seeing or hearing about them. Lovely quilts as always!
I absolutely agree! I hate it when someone says, "that's too pretty to use." Umm, no. It was made to be used! So wonderful to see your creations being properly appreciated.


Side by side we've hunted Shadows dancing on northern skies.
Peacefully sleeping, dangers few and far between.
Mournfully we howled, when our starving cubs had died.
Tasting each crystal snowflake, falling gently to and fro.
Without you I am nothing, our wild souls are one.
Life's blood slowly seeping, I whimper your sweet name.
Steel jaws clenching tighter, winds whisper the song of death.
And you will forever leave me, my love, my life, my dear.
I lay my head upon you, and know you are at peace.
And there you'll greet your brothers, to run with them forever more.
And when our wild soul's unite, there'll be no greater love.

Judge reinstates charges in deadly Philadelphia Amtrak crash
PHILADELPHIA —
A judge has reinstated all charges brought against an Amtrak engineer for his role in a high-speed derailment in Philadelphia that killed eight people.
The ruling Thursday by Superior Court Judge Victor Stabile overturns a lower court's decision last July to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment charges against Brandon Bostian. His lawyer, Brian McMonagle, has argued that any mistakes Bostian made did not rise to the level of a crime.
Ruling on an appeal brought by the state attorney general's office, Stabile found the dismissal was based on fact-finding that should happen in a trial, a decision that McMonagle said would be appealed. Stabile said the lower court's role was only to determine whether the state presented enough evidence to warrant a trial, and prosecutors met that burden, he ruled.
The derailment happened in May 2015, when the New York-bound train jumped the track as it rounded a curve at more than twice the 50 mph (80 kph) speed limit.
National Transportation Safety Board investigators concluded Bostian lost his bearings while distracted by radio chatter about a nearby train that had been struck by a rock. They found no evidence he was impaired or was using a cellphone.
The case against Bostian has seen a series of reversals of prosecutors' or judges' decisions that the engineer should not be held criminally culpable for what happened that night.
Amtrak has taken responsibility for the crash, agreeing to pay $265 million to settle claims filed by victims and their families. Since the accident, the railroad has installed positive train control technology on its Boston-to-Washington tracks that can automatically slow or stop a speeding train.

Last year, my nephew, Sonny, passed away shortly after his first birthday. He spent half of his life being treated for Langerhans' cell hisitiocytosis (LCH), a rare form of cancer to which he eventually lost his battle.
Whilst Sonny was treated in Bristol hospital, CLIC Sargent provided emergency accommodation for the family and we were overwhelmed with the life changing help they were able to provide.
I am running Iceland in memory of Sonny and in aid of CLIC Sargent. Today, 11 children and young people in the UK will find out the that they have cancer. From diagnosis, CLIC Sargent's mission is to provide a specialist package of support tailored to each young cancer patient and family.

Empire State Building History Wall
The Empire State Building is easily one of the most recognizable among New York City's iconic skyline. Construction finished in 1931 on the architectural masterpiece and it has been a popular attraction ever since, drawing large crowds of visitors and tourists each year. The building and plot of land on which it stands has a rich history that extends as far back as the late 1700s, and is dotted with important events from ground breaking, to construction milestones, dedications, expansions and purchases. In 1961, the building was sold to Lawrence A. Wein and Peter L. Malkin for $65 million dollars- the highest price ever paid for a single building. So when Malkin Holdings and the Empire State Realty Trust decided to commemorate this landmark historical event, they knew that they wanted to do so in a unique way to recognize this event on a history wall that would fit in with the building's style and aesthetic, and they knew that they could trust W & E Baum to deliver on those points.
The syndication recognition history wall resides in the Observation deck gathering area, where it is seen by each visitor to the Empire State Building Observation Deck. The recognition design carries over elements of the building's art deco themes, keeping it consistent and congruent with the overall design and décor of the building. Alternating Brass and Black Brass panels are etched with 2,500 names of the former members of the Empire State Building Associates, recognizing all those who had invested, inherited or acquired interests in ESBA. The design is multi-elevational, and accented with satin brass bars and art deco arches. A black and white photo taken at the historic purchase meeting is showcased in the center of the wall, housed between glass panels and fastened with decorative brass rosettes. The end result was a beautiful addition to the historic and iconic building, fitting right in as though it had been a part of the building all along.
At W & E Baum we understand the importance of making sure that each piece that we create not only fits the budget, but also tells the story of the individuals or event being recognized. We don't have stock displays; we customize each and every job- from the Empire State Building to the smallest of plaques- so that they become part of the organization- a donor recognition or history wall that fits- and not just something hanging on the wall. We work with you and for you to deliver something that your organization can be proud to display, something that you are happy to share with your donors and visitors. At W & E Baum, we put you first.

The waters are a bit murky when it comes to driving high—especially in today's legal landscape. While there hasn't been a definitive set of rules and regulations regarding 'stoned driving,' because, well, it's almost impossible to accurately test a subject on-the-spot, there has been increased attention to the subject matter.
However, no one has ever mentioned anything about stoned passengers. Until now.
Apparently Uber, the ride-sharing car service, has just released a new policy—you can permanently lose your Uber account for smelling like weed.
Looks like we're living in the 1970's again, folks.
Let's face it—we all hate narcs. They come in all shapes and sizes. However, your Uber driver might actually be the last person you'd expect to snitch on you for weed.
And it looks like one such squealer ruined it for the rest of us.
Mike Mulloy, an Uber passenger, tweeted a message from the company itself. In the message, Uber warned Mike of a permanent account ban.
While it does make sense that Uber would want to protect themselves from any trafficking claims, it was apparent that Mulloy didn't even have any weed on him. In fact, he was doing the responsible thing and grabbing an Uber directly after smoking.
The site Mashable, who first reported on Mike's grievance, reached out to Uber for comment. Their comments were pretty in-line with the policies outlined in the message to Mulloy.
Again, although it does make sense to have some sort of policy in place, because, you know, illegal drug dealing still exists, there should definitely be some revisions when it comes to marijuana. It would probably help to get some drivers that are a little less lame.
