A Flame In The Wind

A Flame In The Wind (also called A Time For Us) was a soap opera that aired on ABC Daytime from December 28, 1964 to December 16, 1966. The show focused on the community of Haviland and it's citizens. The main families were the Skerba, Reynolds, Austen and Farrell families.

When the series began, Haviland's richest citizen, widowed Kate Austen (Kathleen Maguire) wrote a novel, in the same manner as Main Street, which showed Haviland's citizens in a less than perfect light. After the novel was stopped by her publisher, she and her son, Chris, (Richard Thomas) left Haviland, never to return. Her former mother in-Law, Louise Austen (Josephine Nichols) remained in town to become a friend to Jason Farrell (Walter Coy), who had marital troubles with his wife, Leslie (Rita Lloyd); Kate's place as town gossip was taken by Miriam Bentley (Lesley Woods).

The later stories were focused on young love, embodied by the two Skerba sisters, Linda (Barbara Rodell; Jane Elliot) and Jane (Beverly Hayes; Margaret Ladd), battling over the same young man, Steve Reynolds, the son of Kate's former book publisher, Craig Reynolds (Frank Schofield). Linda, who eventually went to New York, to become an actress, dated her director, Paul Davis (Conard Fowkes); and sensible Jane remained behind in Haviland and married Steve Reynolds (Gordon Gray; Tom Fielding). However, later on, Linda and wealthy Roxanne Farrell Reynolds (Margaret Hayes) vied for the same guy, Doug Colton (Ion Berger), who eventually married Roxanne for her money.

When the show's title was changed to A Time For Us,(the title which it became better known) the Skerba family (Besides Jane and Linda, the family included their father Al (Roy Poole), a construction foreman; and Martha (Lenka Peterson), the sympathetic mother) underwent a name change as well.

Since the name, Skerba, was considered somewhat ethnic for the time, it was changed to the more Americanized name of Driscoll. Which was successful in that it eliminated the class conflict that had been part of the show's first year, and put the Driscolls on the same social footing as the other families of Haviland.

The series is notable for beginning many actors careers. A Time For Us marked the first ever appearance of actress Leslie Charleson, who played a minor character named Pam. She eventually went on to play Dr. Monica Quartermaine on General Hospital.

Actress Jane Elliot, who played the second Linda, also later appeared on General Hospital as Monica's sister in-law, Tracy Quartermaine; (Which allowed Leslie Charleson and Jane Elliot to work together again) while actress Margaret Ladd, who played the second Jane, later played Jane Wyman's younger daughter, Emma Channing on Falcon Crest.

Shadow Memory

"Shadow memory" is a phrase used to describes a computer science technique in which potentially every byte used by a program during its execution has a shadow byte or bytes. These shadow bytes are typically invisible to the original program and are used to record information about the original piece of data. The program is typically kept unaware of the existence of shadow memory by using a dynamic binary instrumentor, which, among other things, may translate the original programs memory read and write operations into operations that do the original read and write and also update the shadow memory as necessary.

Naturally, this technique when implemented naively has both high slowdown and large memory requirements. The shadow memory requirements can be lessened through two level tables, similar to those used by modern operating systems for virtual memory lookup. For example, initially all first level page entries (each entry might cover 128kB) might point to a reserved "invalid" or "uninitialized" page entry. As the program reads/writes to/from a section specified by a page entry, then a new page entry is automatically created and initialized with the default values. Future reads/writes to that section will use that newly created entry.

The slowdown is harder to overcome, as each load and store must somehow result in the shadow memory being updated if 100% correctness is desired. Furthermore, modern CPUs perform relatively poorly when doing data intensive tasks due to the limits of local cache sizes.

Why Is Walton Street For Sale?

Bold textWhy is Ruskin College Selling its Main Buildings in the Centre of Oxford?Bold text

Ruskin College was built in its present location at Walton St, Jericho, in order for its students to study alongside some of the world’s highest academics, the most elite, learned, and successful people in the world. Its location in the centre of Oxford is still what draws in the majority of its students; the opportunity to go to oxford university lectures, visit the Bodleian library, have use of oxford university faculty libraries and take part in oxford union debates have always been part of what makes Ruskin so special.
Headington Campus was bought as an overflow site, to take pressure off the main site, and allow for further expansion. It was never intended to be the main or only campus.
Ruskin has given the Privileges of the highest of the elite to people from some of the most disadvantaged backgrounds, who have never been given or had a real chance in life because of circumstances: be that accident of birth, upbringing, disability or whatever reason either way, The majority of Ruskin graduates go on to be professionals. Authors, lecturers, trade union leaders, presidents of their countries, mp’s – have all come from Ruskin, and started with little or no education or prospects.

The current principal has done a lot of good work at this college, but this is one idea which must be re-addressed and made flexible, as its current rigid nature is stifling progress, and threatening the core of the college.

The plan would leave us with less lecture rooms & less student rooms (accommodation) than what we currently have now.

The principal has only recently agreed to disclose information to the students (for the first time), offering to give a ‘walk and talk’ after the demonstrations from the students during the governors executive meeting on Friday 22nd feb 08
There is a waiting list for students to move from Headington campus to Walton Street, there are students on that waiting list who have been there since September. There are also many empty rooms at Headington campus.

Why Is Walton Street For Sale?

Why is Ruskin College Selling its Main Buildings in the Centre of Oxford?

A Brief History of Ruskin College and Why It Should Remain in Oxford

Ruskin College was built in its present location at Walton St, Jericho, in order for its students to study alongside some of the world’s highest academics, the most elite, learned, and successful people in the world. Its location in the centre of Oxford is still what draws in the majority of its students; the opportunity to go to oxford university lectures, visit the Bodleian library, have use of oxford university faculty libraries and take part in oxford union debates have always been part of what makes Ruskin so special.

Headington Campus was bought as an overflow site, to take pressure off the main site, and allow for further expansion. It was never intended to be the main or only campus.

Ruskin has given the Privileges of the highest of the elite to people from some of the most disadvantaged backgrounds, who have never been given or had a real chance in life because of circumstances: be that accident of birth, upbringing, disability or whatever reason either way, The majority of Ruskin graduates go on to be professionals. Authors, lecturers, trade union leaders, presidents of their countries, mp’s – have all come from Ruskin, and started with little or no education or prospects.

If you want more info on Ruskin History / Graduates there are many great books in the current library, you may also want to ask a member of the Ruskin fellowship (graduates association) about their members.

Walton Street is on the open market for 7.5millionThe college has 2.5 million in the bank (from sale of existing properties)
The Headington redevelopment requires 20million pounds
Where is the other 10 million coming from? Why are such drastic measures being made to raise just over a third of the budget?
If we are going to be raising funds anyway, why rush in and sell our assets?, why not wait until we have enough money to develop Headington without selling Walton street, and then raise money until we can redevelop Walton street? What is the rush to build?

The Plans For Redevelopment

The plan was the creation of the principal, a highly merited social sciences academic – but not an architect or a businessperson: this is the main reason we would have to sell the original college and move to the site in Headington. The current principal has done a lot of good work at this college, but this is one idea which must be re-addressed and made flexible, as its current rigid nature is stifling progress, and threatening the core of the college.

The plan would leave us with less lecture rooms & less student rooms (accommodation) than what we currently have now.

The plan (if we sell Walton street) would cause us to lose our oxford union membership

The plan involves spending over 2 million on a restaurant whose only practical purpose would be to feed the students in the interim period between bulldozing the existing canteen and building a new one.

Positive Alternative?

A property developer offered to give around 4 million, fully redevelop Walton St (a roughly 5 million pound task for a building company, or a task that could easily cost double that for an academic institution hiring private contractors.) In exchange for a 150 year long lease(150 year rent basically), on the back end of the property (the Kitson and Dining blocks). It is also common sense that the developers would continue to refurbish their end of the building in order to keep getting the most from their investment.

The administration have now decided ignore this offer as it didn’t offer enough ready cash for the redevelopment of Headington

The New Library

The new library, Is expected to cost 6 million Walton street is a huge set of buildings – of which the existing library is only a tiny part, is on the market for 7.5 million The new library would also only be a fraction of the size of Walton street – (although much larger than the current library, not least because, the current library (at Walton St) only has half (or possibly a 3rd of) as many floors as planned because not enough funds were raised to finish building it,… The proposed library would be wonderful, but could history repeat itself? The proposed Kitson library would also have been wonderful, and would still work today, if it had been completed We have overstretched ourselves in plans before – and ended up having to compromise, this time we also have to take a huge gamble. Is it worth it? Should we learn from previous mistakes?

The students have had no briefing, no seminar no nothing – on the principals plans for the future of Ruskin – although repeated articles have been placed in the oxford mail. (the college being been put up for sale in the mail was without the consent of the board of governors)
The principal has only recently agreed to disclose information to the students (for the first time), offering to give a ‘walk and talk’ after the demonstrations from the students during the governors executive meeting on Friday 22nd feb 08
