PROTEST TODAY!>>>
Against the wishes of the world, the Bush Administration seems almost certain to go to war by the end of this week. Speak out against this madness at an emergency NYC anti-war protest today, Tuesday, March 18, at 5:00PM in Union Square. Bring signs and make noise.
IF WAR BEGINS>>>
If the war does indeed begin, get out on the streets immediately and join with millions around the world in demanding an end to the bloodshed. There are many ways to express your opposition to war - from silent vigils to loud marches to nonviolent direct action.
In New York City, there will be a massive protest in Times Square at 5:00PM on the day the bombing starts (the next day if bombing begins at night).
Converge on Times Square from all directions. If the police have blocked access to the Square, we will flood the surrounding streets with our cries for peace.

WHAT WILL WE DO WHEN BUSH GOES TO WAR?
While millions of people around the world and throughout this country continue to do everything possible to prevent the Bush administration from going to war against Iraq, the latest news is bad.
In every corner of the U.S. -- and all around the globe -- many people are already planning protests for the day a war begins, or the day after. We urge you to contact your local groups to find out what is planned and how you can help. If nothing is planned, it is not too late to organize an event. The most important thing is that hundreds of anti-war protests take place in cities and towns all across the country!
*Post information about your protest at http://www.unitedforpeace.org Look for the yellow "ADD" button on the left side of the page, under "Anti-War Related Events"
*Find out about protests in your area by searching the "Anti-War Related Events" listings at http://www.unitedforpeace.org
Some ideas for action:
1) A candlelight vigil in the center of town or in front of a federal building (court house, post office, military installation, any other federal facility).
2) A rally in a central location.
3) A march through a populated part of your city, which could start or end with a rally.
4) Meetings at schools, universities, places of work, community centers, religious institutions.
5) Walk-outs from schools and/or work places...people can then join a march or rally with others.
6) Vigils, picket lines or other protests at the local offices of your Congressional representatives demanding they use the power of their office to stop the president.
7) Non-violent civil disobedience at any appropriate locations: a federal building, a defense contractor, the office of a politician who voted for war, key streets or intersections in your city. If this war begins, we should find creative ways to interrupt the "normal" flow of life. For more information on nationally coordinated, local civil disobedience efforts, contact http://www.peacepledge.org/resist
It is critically important that we move quickly, in the most unified ways possible, and that we project to the media the strong opposition to this war. United for Peace and Justice will do whatever we can to let the media know what is happening throughout the country. But for us to do this work we must hear from you. Please be sure to post the information about your local actions on our web site....and do so immediately: http://www.unitedforpeace.org
For more information please call us at 212-603-3700, or at 202-862-9740, ext. 3038.

Finally, these are difficult days for everyone, but we must not become discouraged. If this war begins it will be even more important that we redouble our efforts to bring the war to an end as quickly as possible. Now is not the time to stop!

Posted by: Justine M. Pepicelli on March 19, 2003 09:51 PMWhen compared to the Stack, the Heap is a simple thing to understand. All the memory that's left over is "in the Heap" (excepting some special cases and some reserve). There is little structure, but in return for this freedom of movement you must create and destroy any boundaries you need. And it is always possible that the heap might simply not have enough space for you.
Posted by: Faustinus on January 19, 2004 05:34 AMThis is another function provided for dealing with the heap. After you've created some space in the Heap, it's yours until you let go of it. When your program is done using it, you have to explicitly tell the computer that you don't need it anymore or the computer will save it for your future use (or until your program quits, when it knows you won't be needing the memory anymore). The call to simply tells the computer that you had this space, but you're done and the memory can be freed for use by something else later on.
Posted by: Miles on January 19, 2004 05:36 AMNote first that favoriteNumbers type changed. Instead of our familiar int, we're now using int*. The asterisk here is an operator, which is often called the "star operator". You will remember that we also use an asterisk as a sign for multiplication. The positioning of the asterisk changes its meaning. This operator effectively means "this is a pointer". Here it says that favoriteNumber will be not an int but a pointer to an int. And instead of simply going on to say what we're putting in that int, we have to take an extra step and create the space, which is what does. This function takes an argument that specifies how much space you need and then returns a pointer to that space. We've passed it the result of another function, , which we pass int, a type. In reality, is a macro, but for now we don't have to care: all we need to know is that it tells us the size of whatever we gave it, in this case an int. So when is done, it gives us an address in the heap where we can put an integer. It is important to remember that the data is stored in the heap, while the address of that data is stored in a pointer on the stack.
