The plant is also called             {service tree}, and {Juneberry}.          {Shad frog}, an American spotted frog ({Rana halecina}); --             so called because it usually appears at the time when the             shad begin to run in the rivers.          {Trout shad}, the squeteague.          {White shad}, the common shad.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
wedged adj.   1. To be stuck, incapable of proceeding without    help.   This is different from having crashed.   If the system has    crashed, it has become totally non-functioning.   If the system is    wedged, it is trying to do something but cannot make progress; it    may be capable of doing a few things, but not be fully operational.    For example, a process may become wedged if it {deadlock}s with    another (but not all instances of wedging are deadlocks).   See also    {gronk}, {locked up}, {hosed}, {hung} (wedged is more severe than    {hung}).   2. Often refers to humans suffering misconceptions.   "He's    totally wedged -- he's convinced that he can levitate through    meditation."   3. [Unix] Specifically used to describe the state of a    TTY left in a losing state by abort of a screen-oriented program or    one that has messed with the line discipline in some obscure way.          There is some dispute over the origin of this term.   It is usually    thought to derive from a common description of recto-cranial    inversion; however, it may actually have originated with older    `hot-press' printing technology in which physical type elements were    locked into type frames with wedges driven in by mallets.   Once this    had been done, no changes in the typesetting for that page could be    made.

wait state          A delay of one or more {clock} cycles added to       a processor's instruction execution time to allow it to       communicate with slow external devices.   The number and       duration of wait states may be pre-configured or they may be       controlled dynamically via certain control lines.          (1996-10-16)

Whetstone          The first major {synthetic benchmark} program,       intended to be representative for numerical ({floating-point}       intensive) programming.   It is based on statistics gathered by       Brian Wichmann at the {National Physical Laboratory} in       England, using an {Algol 60} {compiler} which translated Algol       into instructions for the imaginary Whetstone machine.   The       compilation system was named after the small town of Whetstone       outside the City of Leicester, England, where it was designed.          The later {dhrystone} benchmark was a pun on Whetstone.          Source code: {C       (ftp://netlib.att.com/netlib/benchmark/whetstonec.Z)}, {single       precision Fortran       (ftp://netlib.att.com:/netlib/benchmark/whetstones.Z)},       {double precision Fortran       (ftp://netlib.att.com:/netlib/benchmark/whetstoned.Z)}.          ["A Synthetic Benchmark", H.J.
