From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Sugar \Sug"ar\, n. [OE. sugre, F. sucre (cf. It. zucchero, Sp.
      az[a3]car), fr. Ar. sukkar, assukkar, fr. Skr. [87]arkar[be]
      sugar, gravel; cf. Per. shakar. Cf. {Saccharine}, {Sucrose}.]
      1. A sweet white (or brownish yellow) crystalline substance,
            of a sandy or granular consistency, obtained by
            crystallizing the evaporated juice of certain plants, as
            the sugar cane, sorghum, beet root, sugar maple, etc. It
            is used for seasoning and preserving many kinds of food
            and drink. Ordinary sugar is essentially sucrose. See the
            Note below.
  
      Note: The term sugar includes several commercial grades, as
               the white or refined, granulated, loaf or lump, and the
               raw brown or muscovado. In a more general sense, it
               includes several distinct chemical compounds, as the
               glucoses, or grape sugars (including glucose proper,
               dextrose, and levulose), and the sucroses, or true
               sugars (as cane sugar). All sugars are carbohydrates.
               See {Carbohydrate}. The glucoses, or grape sugars, are
               ketone alcohols of the formula {C6H12O6}, and they turn
               the plane of polarization to the right or the left.
               They are produced from the amyloses and sucroses, as by
               the action of heat and acids of ferments, and are
               themselves decomposed by fermentation into alcohol and
               carbon dioxide. The only sugar (called acrose) as yet
               produced artificially belongs to this class. The
               sucroses, or cane sugars, are doubled glucose
               anhydrides of the formula {C12H22O11}. They are usually
               not fermentable as such (cf. {Sucrose}), and they act
               on polarized light.
  
      2. By extension, anything resembling sugar in taste or
            appearance; as, sugar of lead (lead acetate), a poisonous
            white crystalline substance having a sweet taste.
  
      3. Compliment or flattery used to disguise or render
            acceptable something obnoxious; honeyed or soothing words.

      {Pine sugar}. See {Pinite}.
  
      {Starch sugar} (Com. Chem.), a variety of dextrose made by

   cray instability n.   1. A shortcoming of a program or algorithm
   that manifests itself only when a large problem is being run on a
   powerful machine (see {cray}).   Generally more subtle than bugs that
   can be detected in smaller problems running on a workstation or
   mini.   2. More specifically, a shortcoming of algorithms which are
   well behaved when run on gentle floating point hardware (such as
   IEEE-standard or PDP-series machines) but which break down badly
   when exposed to a Cray's unique `rounding' rules.

   crunch 1. vi.   To process, usually in a time-consuming or

   nonetheless painful to perform.   The pain may be due to the
   triviality's being embedded in a loop from 1 to 1,000,000,000.
   "FORTRAN programs do mostly {number-crunching}."   2. vt. To reduce
   the size of a file by a complicated scheme that produces bit
   configurations completely unrelated to the original data, such as by
   a Huffman code.   (The file ends up looking something like a paper
   document would if somebody crunched the paper into a wad.)   Since
   such compression usually takes more computations than simpler
   methods such as run-length encoding, the term is doubly appropriate.
   (This meaning is usually used in the construction `file
   crunch(ing)' to distinguish it from {number-crunching}.)   See
   {compress}.   3. n. The character `#'.   Used at XEROX and CMU, among
   other places.   See {{ASCII}}.   4. vt. To squeeze program source into
   a minimum-size representation that will still compile or execute.
   The term came into being specifically for a famous program on the
   BBC micro that crunched BASIC source in order to make it run more
   quickly (it was a wholly interpretive BASIC, so the number of
   characters mattered).   {Obfuscated C Contest} entries are often
   crunched; see the first example under that entry.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Chronicles
      the words of the days, (1 Kings 14:19; 1 Chr. 27:24), the daily
      or yearly records of the transactions of the kingdom; events
      recorded in the order of time.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Chronicles, Books of
      The two books were originally one. They bore the title in the
      Massoretic Hebrew _Dibre hayyamim_, i.e., "Acts of the Days."
      This title was rendered by Jerome in his Latin version
      "Chronicon," and hence "Chronicles." In the Septuagint version
      the book is divided into two, and bears the title Paraleipomena,
      i.e., "things omitted," or "supplements", because containing
      many things omitted in the Books of Kings.
     
         The contents of these books are comprehended under four heads.
      (1.) The first nine chapters of Book I. contain little more than
      a list of genealogies in the line of Israel down to the time of
      David. (2.) The remainder of the first book contains a history
      of the reign of David. (3.) The first nine chapters of Book II.
      contain the history of the reign of Solomon. (4.) The remaining
      chapters of the second book contain the history of the separate
      kingdom of Judah to the time of the return from Babylonian
      Exile.
     
         The time of the composition of the Chronicles was, there is
      every ground to conclude, subsequent to the Babylonian Exile,
      probably between 450 and 435 B.C. The contents of this twofold
      book, both as to matter and form, correspond closely with this
      idea. The close of the book records the proclamation of Cyrus
      permitting the Jews to return to their own land, and this forms
      the opening passage of the Book of Ezra, which must be viewed as
      a continuation of the Chronicles. The peculiar form of the
      language, being Aramaean in its general character, harmonizes
      also with that of the books which were written after the Exile.
      The author was certainly contemporary with Zerubbabel, details
      of whose family history are given (1 Chr. 3:19).
     
         The time of the composition being determined, the question of
      the authorship may be more easily decided. According to Jewish
      tradition, which was universally received down to the middle of
      the seventeenth century, Ezra was regarded as the author of the
      Chronicles. There are many points of resemblance and of contact
      between the Chronicles and the Book of Ezra which seem to
      confirm this opinion. The conclusion of the one and the
      beginning of the other are almost identical in expression. In
      their spirit and characteristics they are the same, showing thus
      also an identity of authorship.
     
         In their general scope and design these books are not so much
      historical as didactic. The principal aim of the writer appears
      to be to present moral and religious truth. He does not give
      prominence to political occurences, as is done in Samuel and
      Kings, but to ecclesiastical institutions. "The genealogies, so
      uninteresting to most modern readers, were really an important
      part of the public records of the Hebrew state. They were the
      basis on which not only the land was distributed and held, but
      the public services of the temple were arranged and conducted,
      the Levites and their descendants alone, as is well known, being
      entitled and first fruits set apart for that purpose." The
      "Chronicles" are an epitome of the sacred history from the days
      of Adam down to the return from Babylonian Exile, a period of
      about 3,500 years. The writer gathers up "the threads of the old
      national life broken by the Captivity."
     
         The sources whence the chronicler compiled his work were
      public records, registers, and genealogical tables belonging to
      the Jews. These are referred to in the course of the book (1
      Chr. 27:24; 29:29; 2 Chr. 9:29; 12:15; 13:22; 20:34; 24:27;
      26:22; 32:32; 33:18, 19; 27:7; 35:25). There are in Chronicles,
      and the books of Samuel and Kings, forty parallels, often
      verbal, proving that the writer both knew and used these records
      (1 Chr. 17:18; comp. 2 Sam. 7:18-20; 1 Chr. 19; comp. 2 Sam. 10,
      etc.).
     
         As compared with Samuel and Kings, the Book of Chronicles
      omits many particulars there recorded (2 Sam. 6:20-23; 9; 11;
      14-19, etc.), and includes many things peculiar to itself (1
      Chr. 12; 22; 23-26; 27; 28; 29, etc.). Twenty whole chapters,
      and twenty-four parts of chapters, are occupied with matter not
      found elsewhere. It also records many things in fuller detail,
      as (e.g.) the list of David's heroes (1 Chr. 12:1-37), the
      removal of the ark from Kirjath-jearim to Mount Zion (1 Chr. 13;
      15:2-24; 16:4-43; comp. 2 Sam. 6), Uzziah's leprosy and its
      cause (2 Chr. 26:16-21; comp. 2 Kings 15:5), etc.
     
         It has also been observed that another peculiarity of the book
      is that it substitutes modern and more common expressions for
      those that had then become unusual or obsolete. This is seen
      particularly in the substitution of modern names of places, such
      as were in use in the writer's day, for the old names; thus
      Gezer (1 Chr. 20:4) is used instead of Gob (2 Sam. 21:18), etc.
     
         The Books of Chronicles are ranked among the _khethubim_ or
      hagiographa. They are alluded to, though not directly quoted, in
      the New Testament (Heb. 5:4; Matt. 12:42; 23:35; Luke 1:5;
      11:31, 51).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Chronicles of king David
      (1 Chr. 27:24) were statistical state records; one of the public
      sources from which the compiler of the Books of Chronicles
      derived information on various public matters.

      that Quirinus was governor of Cilicia, which was annexed to
      Syria at the time of our Lord's birth. Cilicia, which he ruled,
      being a province of Syria, he is called the governor, which he
      was de jure, of Syria. Some ten years afterwards he was
      appointed governor of Syria for the second time. During his
      tenure of office, at the time of our Lord's birth (Luke 2:2), a

      government. (See {TAXING}.)
