Why Cable TV in Kendalia, TX
Here are a few of the reasons people choose Cable TV in Kendalia, TX. Cable offers hundreds of all-digital channels, HD programming, movies and On Demand entertainment. Cable TV service often comes with free HD DVRs for new customers. And cable service delivers a consistent, all-digital signal, so your TV doesn't drop out in bad weather. And you can bundle it with high-speed Internet; a cable bundle means you only have to pay one simple bill every month. And a service bundle can save you an estimated $400 every year. Plus cable is:
Cable TV offersmore HD choices
Snow may mess up satellite, but itdoesn't faze cable
Cable can beinstalled virtually anywhere
TV Trends in Kendalia, TX
If you thirst for cable TV knowledge, we can help. CableTV.com has cold-filtered cable data on tap and ready for consumption. Try this (it's on the house): almost everyone, or 97% of Americans, watches television as it is aired and roughly 33% of those TV viewers have at least four televisions in their homes. Upwards of 50% of people also stream video content online. Among those with cable TV, almost three-fourths bundle their service with high-speed Internet. Cable's ubiquitous national presence also helps explain how DVRs account for about 7% of America's total TV viewing.
All those stats mean that if you don't own at least one TV for every room in your house, chances are your neighbor to the left or right of you does. It also means that almost everyone you meet today will watch a TV tonight, and 57% of them will use either their DVR or their Internet to do so.
Why Choose Cable Internet in Kendalia
Cable providers have so much more to offer than TV. That is why so many Kendalia residents bundle cable services. Cable Internet is faster than most DSL services, providing downstream speeds 25%-100% faster than the national average. People who choose cable bundles also save money, roughly $400 every year they bundle TV and Internet. Both are very good explanations why cable Internet subscribers represent 32% of households, and how broadband penetration in Texas grew to 67% by 2010.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Infants
- Home
- Health Information
- Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for...
(Lay Rescuer CPR for Infants)
|Infant Heart and Lung System
|Infant CPR can keep blood flowing to vital organs until professional help arrives.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
- Trauma
- Choking
- Drowning
- Electrical and lightning shocks
- Severe infection
- Severe allergic reaction
Possible Complications
What to Do
Prior to Procedure
- If someone is with you, have them call for medical help right away and get the automatic external defibrillator (AED). An AED is a device that delivers electric shocks to the victim's heart. If you are alone, do CPR for about two minutes before calling for medical help and the AED.
Check to see if the infant is not breathing or only gasping. If this is the case, begin CPR by giving chest compressions:
- Place two fingers on the center of the chest just below the nipple line.
- Compress about 1-½ in (inches) in most infants. Push hard and fast at a rate of at least 100 compressions per minute.
- Allow the chest to rise completely between compressions.
- Minimize interruption between compressions.
- Give 30 compressions.
After 30 compressions, give two rescue breaths:
- Open the airway by gently tilting the head backward.
- Cover the infant's nose and mouth with your mouth.
- Breathe two puffs of air into his mouth and nose. Breathe just until you see the chest rise. Breaths should be about one second each.
- If you are not trained in CPR, continue doing the chest compressions without giving rescue breaths.
- If medical help has not been called, call after five cycles of CPR (about two minutes). Call even if the infant is responding and is breathing on his own.
- Continue cycles of 30 compressions and two breaths until the AED is brought to you, medical personnel arrive, or the infant responds.
- If another person is present, take turns doing the chest compressions to avoid getting tired. If two people are giving CPR, the ratio of chest compressions to breaths is 15 compressions and two breaths.
To use the AED:
- Turn the AED on.
- Attach the pads. Use the child-sized pads if available.
- Follow the prompts. If advised, deliver the shock. If the shock is not advised, the AED will tell you to resume CPR.

In discussions I have had in the past over the acceptability of a Christian drinking alcohol I have heard that some 'dry' believers say that the wine in the Bible is not wine as we know it commonly today. It is actually grape juice.
I personally believe that the wine of Jesus' day is the wine that we know.
Is there any Biblical/historical evidence to the contrary, that the wine of the past was non-fermented juice?

Martin Kohler represented the BMC Racing Team among a breakaway during the majority of the 213-kilometres stage 4 of Eneco Tour , Thursday.
Protect Phinney And Ballan
In the first kilometers of the race, 6 men left to form a breakaway group including the Swiss national champion on roads, Martin Kohler. « He followed the plan we had set up this morning, this morning and he did a good job it was pretty nice, » explains BMC rcaing Team's assistant sport director Max Sciandri. Despite it was an easy stage overall, the last circuit was « really narrow and tricky » describes Sciandri. After they enjoyed a maximum advantage of about 7 minutes, the breakaway was eventually caught with 20 km to go and Marcel Kittel (Argos-Shimano) won his second stage victory from a bunch sprint in the race. Adam Blythe was the BMC Racing Team's best finisher ranked as 18th and Phinney crossed the line in the peloton, 5 seconds after the stage winner. « We still protect Taylor (Phinney) and Alessandro (Ballan) before the last stages, because we know it's not on these kind of stages as today that they can earn time but we have to avoid them to lose some. » said Sciandri.

"It's very exciting," said BHA Executive Director Roberta Green, who joined the organization last year. "I've done this before, several times, but I have never been more excited about a community opening a comprehensive health care home like this in my entire life. This is such a wonderful, supportive community.
"The patients are so grateful. The physicians and health care professionals in the community are so supportive. The hospital is so supportive. This is really a grassroots community effort in being able to take care of our neighbors, and for me, it's probably the single most rewarding thing I have done in my entire health care profession."
While this has been BHA's objective for several years, the ability to secure a permanent, larger facility at 31 Pointe North Drive — with the assistance of a $498,646 Community Development Block Grant — and a family practice physician in 2012 made it possible. Currently volunteering her time, Dr. Celedor Akintunde is seeing patients by appointment on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the nonprofit's Louis B. Tonsmeire Clinic.
"I was at a big transition in my life and I wanted to volunteer," Akintunde said. "I saw that they helped people that were in need and, as I learned more about them, I knew that they didn't have a physician. So I told her I had the time. I'm pregnant. I wasn't working at the time and I said, 'I'll just volunteer either until you all find a physician or if we think it's a good match, if we both want to continue to work together.'
"[So far I have seen patients with] hypertension, diabetes ... chronic pain — so pretty much the standard stuff. It's a great facility, especially with the transition in health care. People who don't have insurance, they can still get good health care. We need more places like Bartow Health Access."
When construction on the unfinished portion of the BHA's 5,000-square-foot building is complete in the spring, comprehensive services will be available to Bartow residents in need, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay. At that time, the Louis B. Tonsmeire Clinic will contain 12 additional exam rooms, a medical dispensary, a nursing station, laboratory, a community health education space and behavioral health rooms.
"When it's a referral center, it's a good way to do it but it's also fractured in that it's more episodic care," Green said. "Right now we have a saturation of patients that are low income or uninsured for our medical population, our health care professionals here in Bartow County. So our health professionals are not able to really see any more of the indigent patients. So what we're trying to do is create a health care home that is as good as you would have in any private practice, where patients can come here regardlesss of their ability to pay.
"So the focus isn't on all of the insurance billing. ... [It is] really [about] getting patients who have neglected their health care for a long time into a place that they feel comfortable and they can begin to develop a relationship that they are treated with respect and with dignity. So then they're able to kind of let down some of the barriers and begin to make some positive health care changes in their own life. And the goal here is for us to be able to treat the whole family. So right now a lot of our patients would have to go to a separate pediatrician for their kids. They'd go to a separate internal medicine doctor for themselves.
"What we have here is a doctor that specializes in seeing just families. They're called a family practice doctor. We have a number of family practice doctors who have been very, very generous to us here in Bartow County — in fact, many, many of the physicians of Bartow County have been very generous to us. They're just at their capacity to being able to see patients from us."
In the past four years, the nonprofit has assisted more than 10,000 uninsured residents with health care referrals and medication assistance. Until its clinic is open full time, the BHA is transitioning patients from its referral services — which operates three days a week and utilizes the assistance of about 55 health care providers treating patients at no charge or a reduced rate — to the care of the nonprofit's on-site staff. To qualify for these services and future care, individuals must reside in Bartow and be at 250 percent or below the Federal Poverty Level.
"What we are is a safety net for those people who do not have health insurance," Green said, adding the nonprofit also is in the process of accepting Medicaid. "So the way that they receive their care is by participating in their care and they do so through a sliding fee scale.
"Nobody is turned away because they are not able to pay. But we do qualify patients and we ask them to be truthful and forthright with what their income is and to participate in their health care."
Looking to the future, Green said the BHA's health care home will offer health education, mental or behavioral health with Highland Rivers Health's assistance, primary health care and dental services, with the latter component being available at the end of the year or in 2014. The nonprofit already has received numerous requests from professionals in the health care field about volunteer opportunities at the clinic.
"I see this being a comprehensive primary health care home for patients who don't have insurance but do have insurance with the Affordable Care Act coming up," Green said. "I see this in the future ... being a place where people are very proud to call this their doctor's office — this is where they go to the doctor. I see us becoming as a resource for the community in how to navigate this new Affordable Care Act. We're spending time with the website redevelopment with our patient navigators and things like that, just trying to be sure that we get the information out there and we become an easy way for people to understand how to navigate health care that's coming up, which is very difficult and very complex and right now many of the health care professionals themselves are trying to figure it out.
"... We [also] want to help train and bring up the next generation of health care professionals. So we want to be a place where interns and students who want to be nurses who are in nursing school, who are in medical school, who are in PA school or whatever have the opportunity to come and serve one of their rotations here and experience what it's like to serve the underserved in a high quality, health care environment."
With BHA's funding primarily comprised of private donations and foundation grants, the organization is looking to the community to assist with its latest endeavor. By donating $10,000 to BHA's capital campaign, supporters will have the opportunity to dedicate a room in the Louis B. Tonsmeire Clinic to the person of their choice.

Last Von Trapp Family Singer Dies at 99Written by Kurt Hyde
Maria Franziska von Trapp, the last surviving member of the singing family whose story inspired the movie The Sound of Music, died February 18 at her home in Vermont at the age of 99.
Pete Seeger's involvement and promotion of radical communist causes and fronts during his lifetime was deliberately glossed over in accounts of his death by the mainstream media.
Fifty years ago today, C.S. Lewis died of kidney failure at his home in Oxford, England, and Great Britain is observing the 50th anniversary of the death of one of heir finest writers.
Charles Colson (left), President Nixon's notorious "hatchet man," who spent time in prison in the wake of the Watergate scandal before founding an international ministry and becoming an esteemed Christian leader, has died at age 80. Colson became ill March 30 while leading a meeting of Christian leaders at the Colson Center for Christian Worldview in Lansdowne, Virginia. The following morning he had surgery to remove a pool of clotted blood from the surface of his brain, and while doctors were initially optimistic about his recovery, his condition became grave and he died April 21 surrounded by his family.

A series of agreements between California American Water and more than a dozen interested parties is being touted as a major breakthrough in the proposed Monterey Peninsula Water Supply Project.
On Wednesday, three formal agreements between Cal Am and 15 parties aimed at resolving issues ranging from project cost and financing to desalination plant size and source water were submitted to the state Public Utilities Commission, which is conducting a review of the company's $400 million proposal.
Cal Am has proposed a desal plant north of Marina, along with supplemental aquifer storage and recovery and groundwater replenishment sources, to provide a new water supply to offset a state-ordered cutback in pumping from the Carmel River that takes full effect at the end of 2016.
Carmel Mayor Jason Burnett, a key figure in the confidential settlement talks as a member of the Peninsula mayors' water authority, said the agreements and level of consensus among environmental groups, Salinas Valley agricultural interests and Peninsula businesses were a crucial development in the quest for a new water source.
"With today's settlement, the prospects for getting this portfolio project built are far better than any project on the Peninsula in a generation," Burnett said.
Cal Am President Rob MacLean called the settlement a "major step forward" and praised the parties for being willing to cooperate on a solution for the Peninsula's "water crisis.
Monterey Mayor Chuck Della Sala, the water authority president, said in a statement the agreements "deliver important benefits," including "a lower cost of water than originally proposed by Cal Am thanks to partial public funding; rigorous governance, public accountability and transparency in decision-making; and a clear path to permitting and consideration of contingencies so as to better manage risk and overcome obstacles to project completion."
Burnett singled out Cal Am's agreement to cut its debt equity in half, lowering its rate of return and the overall cost of the project.
"This single concession alone could save ratepayers tens of millions of dollars over the lifetime of the project," he said.
With the agreements, Cal Am met all of the water authority's conditions for support, Burnett said.
The first agreement addresses most of the contested issues, including cost and financing, evaluation of the project's source water proposal, contingency plans, environmental factors and plant size.
Under the settlement terms, Cal Am agreed to a financing model designed to lower project costs. The company will finance a portion of the project with tax-exempt securitization — issuing debt for the project and recovering it through the sale of bonds by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District — reducing its debt equity to about half the usual rate. It will use $71.5 million in upfront surcharge funding, and will secure a low-interest state loan, working with a public agency to get the loan if it can't do so alone.
Cal Am also agreed to a soft cost cap for the desal plant of about $210.6 million for a smaller facility and $253.4 million for a larger facility, as well as about $85 million for a pipeline and other infrastructure. Those cost estimates were lower than Cal Am originally proposed, and the company will be allowed to ask for more money if the costs exceed projections.
The size of the plant will depend on whether groundwater replenishment is available.
Group of experts
The agreement committed Cal Am and the Salinas Valley Water Coalition to forming a technical group of experts who would work together on a study and a report on the impact of the plan to draw feeder water from the overdrafted Salinas Valley groundwater basin, which agricultural interests have opposed. Cal Am would use the report's findings in pursuing an intake process for the project.
There are also provisions for backup plans for water intake, brine discharge and the site of the desal plant. MacLean indicated in a letter to the Peninsula mayors that Cal Am would also review previous studies that evaluated tapping the Seaside basin as a feeder source.
The agreement provided for evaluating beach erosion and initiating an energy conservation and greenhouse gas reduction plan.
Finally, the agreement set the plant size at 9.6 million gallons per day without groundwater replenishment and 6.4 million gallons per day with recycled water. It added a provision for a plant that produces 6.9 million gallons per day if the groundwater replenishment project delivers less water than expected. Those amounts are designed to meet projected demand for economic recovery and development on lots of record.
Separate review
A second agreement calls for a separate review process for the groundwater replenishment project and established criteria for determining whether to move forward with the proposal.
The third agreement encourages Cal Am to go ahead with a delivery pipeline and other facilities, Burnett said.
In addition to Cal Am and the Peninsula mayors water authority, other parties signing the agreements were: the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District and Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency; the county Board of Supervisors and county Water Resources Agency; the city of Pacific Grove; the PUC's Division of Ratepayer Advocates; the Salinas Valley Water Coalition and the Monterey County Farm Bureau; the Coalition of Peninsula Businesses; LandWatch Monterey County; the Sierra Club; the Surfrider Foundation; and the Planning and Conservation League.
Citizens for Public Water also apparently indicated its support but did not sign the agreements before they were submitted.
Participants that didn't sign were WaterPlus, Marina Coast Water District and the Public Trust Alliance.

Today Latvian cuisine would be meatballs made of ground pork and pork chops – pieces of pork loin wrapped in egg or bread crumbs and fried. During festivities we rarely do without rasols – the salad where the basic ingredients are potatoes, sausage or bacon, eggs and picked cucumbers. We also love meat pies – tiny pastries with meat filling. Are they really Latvian dishes or do we think they are?
The question about Latvian cuisine is also hard to answer because of many famous chefs who creatively update it every day by enriching the Latvian taste with unusual flavours which occasionally become part of the Slow Food tradition.
Excellent milk and meat products, honey and cereals – Latvia has long been proud of its country goodies. Today many farmers are engaged in ecological or biological farming pursuing ancestor traditions and the love towards nature and people.

What's New for 2014?
It's time to begin thinking about Morehead Summer Science Camps for 2014! Please note these changes:
- Morehead welcomes new camp coordinator Jonathan Barnes, who has more than 10 years of experience in planning informal science education programs for children at COSI (Center of Science and Industry) in Columbus, Ohio. (Former camp coordinator Lindley Barrow left Morehead to teach SCUBA in Costa Rica!)
- Morehead's RTP camp site is moving to a new location! In 2014, all RTP-based programs will be at Research Triangle High School (replacing our former site at Kestrel Heights). In addition, Morehead will continue to offer programs at our UNC campus site and SciVentures site.
- To keep our camp registration fully online, we've converted our camp release and health/safety forms to online versions. You'll receive links to these forms with your registration confirmation email -- just complete, sign and submit them electronically!
Remember, Morehead members enjoy early registration and discounts on all Summer Science Camps. If you aren't a member, you can take advantage of those discounts by buying your Morehead membership now.
Camp Overview
Information applies to: UNC | SciVentures | RTP
Science is an adventure -- an amazing opportunity to explore the world around us. Children naturally love to explore our world, and Morehead's Summer Science Camps are the perfect way to encourage your child's curiosity and intellectual growth in a fun, nurturing environment.
Morehead offers exciting one-week camp sessions for grades K-8. Camp activities focus on science themes and are led by UNC students and graduates, trained to provide a safe and fun educational environment for your child.
Your child's science adventure includes these advantages:
- Hands-on science exploration, recreation and science themed crafts
- Enriching science camp curricula developed at UNC
- Convenient and easy for parents, with three great locations and extended care options
Morehead's UNC campus site offers half-day camps for grades K-8. This is the original site for Summer Science Camps at Morehead Planetarium and Science Center.
Morehead's SCIVENTURES site offers a full-day science exploration program for grades 6-8. This summer, Morehead offers two different SciVentures curricula. One is based on the UNC campus, and one is based at the Carolina Center for Educational Excellence, which is adjacent to Smith Middle School in Chapel Hill.
Morehead's Research Triangle Park (RTP) site offers full-day camps for grades K-8. The RTP site is based at RTP High School, located off exit 280 on I-40 near the intersection of N.C. Hwy. 54 and Davis Drive.
Each of the three sites -- UNC, SciVentures and RTP -- has its own schedule and pricing. To help you identify information that is specific to each site, Morehead has marked every page at the top with "UNC," "SciVentures" or "RTP." (Some pages provide information for more than one site.) You'll also see separate sections in the menu column at right for "UNC and SciVentures Site Information" (both are in Chapel Hill) and for "RTP Site Information."
|Dates to remember
Mark these important 2014 Morehead Summer Science Camp dates on your calendar:
- Jan. 20-29
Concierge registration begins for Lunar Level (and above) members. Choose a Lunar Level membership for this benefit.
- Feb. 3, 12 noon
Online "members only" registration opens for Morehead members. Become a member now.
- Feb. 10, 12 noon
Online public registration opens for nonmembers.
- Early June
Camp Open House and orientation for parents and campers
Take advantage of this opportunity to see the classroom spaces, meet counselors and help your child become familiar with the camp location.
|Registration guidelines
Registration is exclusively online! Morehead's online registration system offers advantages that include real-time camp availability information and instant confirmation emails.
On the first day of public registration, you'll find the registration button at the top of this column. The button is only available on this Camp Overview page, and the button will not be posted until the first day of public registration.
The registration button will become clickable for public registration on Feb. 10 at 12 noon. If you click the registration button before registration opens, you will be returned to this Camp Overview page.
Register in three simple steps:
Use the master schedule (click here to download a complete chart of camps and dates, in PDF format) and camp descriptions to choose the camps that match your child's grade level and interests and your family's summer schedule. (If you have more than one child whom you would like to register for camp, you can register them both in a single online session.)
Click the registration button at the top of this column to begin (remember, the button won't appear until the first day of public registration), and follow the instructions within the system.
Registration begins by selecting whether your child will attend camps in Chapel Hill or in RTP.
Open the confirmation email you will receive within 30 minutes after registration (if you don't see it after 30 minutes, check your spam folder!). In that email, you'll see links to two online forms -- "Release, Contract & Consent Form" and "Health & Safety Form." You'll complete these electronic forms online (including electronic signatures, which are new this year). Complete instructions are included online with the forms. Remember, these forms will be submitted electronically -- they are not designed to be printed and mailed. Please complete them promptly!
Morehead reserves the right to cancel your registration if these forms are not submitted within two weeks of your registration. Your child cannot attend camp unless these forms are completed and submitted!
Please note: You are not allowed to register your child for the same camp title more than once per summer.
|Waiting lists
If the camp you have chosen is already full, please consider joining the waiting list. If an opening occurs before the camp begins and you are next on the waiting list for that camp, a Morehead camp staff member will call you to ask if you want to claim that opening.
|Age and grade levels
Morehead Summer Science Camps match age-appropriate grade levels in North Carolina public schools. For example, if your child will enter fourth grade in fall 2014, your child is eligible to attend any camp under the "Grades 4–5" listing.
You must register your child for a camp designed for the grade he or she will enter in fall 2014. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule. This ensures the best possible academic and social environment for all campers.

Install repo tool:
mkdir ~/bin -p sudo apt-get install curl curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo chmod a+x ~/bin/repo export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Tool Chain for building Kernel and Drivers
The Kernel and Driver sources are built using Andriod linux-x86 toolchain arm-eabi-4.6 (This particular version is needed for the AFS to work properly).
It is already inside Android source tree.
[edit] Setting up environment
From your work directory:
cd <your work directory> mkdir -p 4AJ.2.5-panda; cd 4AJ.2.5-panda export YOUR_PATH=`pwd` mkdir -p mydroid cd mydroid export MYDROID=`pwd`
[edit] Downloading Release Software
To obtain Android Filesystem Sources follow:
cd ${MYDROID} repo init -u git://git.omapzoom.org/platform/omapmanifest.git -b 27.x -m RLS4AJ.2.5_JellyBean.xml repo sync
To obtain Kernel & Driver Sources follow:
cd ${YOUR_PATH} git clone git://git.omapzoom.org/kernel/omap.git kernel/android-3.4 cd kernel/android-3.4 git checkout origin/p-android-omap-3.4
xloader and bootloader are located in device/ti/panda as precompiled binaries
[edit] Patching for Pandaboard Support
[edit] Patching KERNEL
cd ${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-3.4
No more additional patches are needed. But you could find something usefull for you in this patch:
[edit] Patching AFS
HWComposer (workaround)
cd $MYDROID/hardware/ti/omap4xxx git fetch http://review.omapzoom.org/platform/hardware/ti/omap4xxx refs/changes/42/33142/1 && git cherry-pick FETCH_HEAD
[edit] Build Instructions
[edit] Setting up build environment
cd ${YOUR_PATH} export PATH=$PATH:${MYDROID}/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6 mkdir $MYDROID/logs export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-
[edit] Building Kernel
To create kernel uImage you need to add "mkimage" directory path to your "PATH" environment variable:
cd ${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-3.4 make ARCH=arm distclean make ARCH=arm android_omap_defconfig make ARCH=arm 2>&1 |tee $MYDROID/logs/kernel_make.out
[edit] Building Kernel modules
cd ${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-3.4 make ARCH=arm modules 2>&1 |tee $MYDROID/logs/kernel_modules.out
[edit] Building WLAN driver
cd $MYDROID/hardware/ti/wlan/mac80211/compat_wl12xx export KERNEL_DIR=${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-3.4 export KLIB=${KERNEL_DIR} export KLIB_BUILD=${KERNEL_DIR} make ARCH=arm
The above step will produce the following kernel WLAN modules: compat.ko, cfg80211.ko, mac80211.ko, wl12xx.ko and wl12xx_sdio.ko. These modules are pushed into the /system/lib/modules directory on the system image.
[edit] Building Android Filesystem (AFS)
In the make step below use the number of cores you have available; i.e. -j4 (for 4 cores) or -j12 (for 12 cores)
cd $MYDROID source build/envsetup.sh lunch full_panda-userdebug make -j4 2>&1 |tee $MYDROID/logs/android_make.out
[edit] Building SGX driver
Extract the source code from the tarball if you haven't yet
cd $MYDROID/device/ti/proprietary-open/omap4/sgx_src tar xzf eurasia_km.tgz cd eurasia_km/eurasiacon/build/linux2/omap4430_android export KERNELDIR=${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-3.4 make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- TARGET_PRODUCT="blaze_tablet" BUILD=release TARGET_SGX=540 PLATFORM_VERSION=4.0
The above step will produce the following kernel SGX modules: pvrsrvkm_sgx540_120.ko and omaplfb_sgx540_120.ko. These modules are pushed into the /system/lib/modules directory on the system image.
Note that you need to add DISPLAY_CONTROLLER_COMPONENT := dc_omapfb3_linux in eurasia_km/eurasiacon/build/linux2/omap4430_android/Makefile to generate omaplfb_sgx540_120.ko
[edit] Preparing Android binaries
The following binaries maybe are not required by the Panda board.
export BOARD_TYPE="panda" cd $MYDROID/out/target/product/$BOARD_TYPE mkdir -p system/lib/modules cp $MYDROID/hardware/ti/wlan/mac80211/compat_wl12xx/compat/compat.ko system/lib/modules/ cp $MYDROID/hardware/ti/wlan/mac80211/compat_wl12xx/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko system/lib/modules/ cp $MYDROID/hardware/ti/wlan/mac80211/compat_wl12xx/net/mac80211/mac80211.ko system/lib/modules/ cp $MYDROID/hardware/ti/wlan/mac80211/compat_wl12xx/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl12xx.ko system/lib/modules/ cp $MYDROID/hardware/ti/wlan/mac80211/compat_wl12xx/drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl12xx_sdio.ko system/lib/modules/ cp $MYDROID/out/target/product/$BOARD_TYPE/target/kbuild/omaplfb_sgx540_120.ko system/lib/modules/ cp $MYDROID/out/target/product/$BOARD_TYPE/target/kbuild/pvrsrvkm_sgx540_120.ko system/lib/modules/
[edit] Flashing the OMAP4 Hardware
[edit] Flashing board (with SD card inserted)
You should stay at $MYDROID directory when doing any of following operation.
If this is first time booting up or your SD card is blank, then you need to do initial steps. With no SD card inserted, plug USB first, then the power cord, and load fastboot over USB:
device/ti/panda/usbboot device/ti/panda/bootloader.bin
Once in fastboot, insert and initialize an SD card (4GB or greater):
fastboot oem format fastboot flash xloader device/ti/panda/xloader.bin fastboot flash bootloader device/ti/panda/bootloader.bin
Then, when you finish building Android File System, you could flash it:
fastboot erase cache fastboot flash userdata fastboot flashall
[edit] Not first time flashing on SD
After the SD files are available you then can use the fastboot to upload binaries to your Panda or Panda ES.
Connect the Panda or Panda ES mini USB port to your Linux machine and go to where the SD files are. Previous partitions created will be deleted and SD will be flashed with new bootloader and xloader. You need to boot the board and start fastboot server on the target (Pandaboard) by keeping the USER button press.

The Future of Europe
The Future of Europe
Europe must become more stable domestically and more forward-looking on the international level. Those are the key issues in the debate over "the future of Europe."
Project duration: January 1, 2008 to December 12, 2010Project Description
From Our Project Work
The EU and its Eastern Neighbors
Experts meet in Warsaw
Organized together with the Poland-based think tank DemosEuropa and the Warsaw office of the Heinrich Böll Foundation, the conference "The European Union and its eastern neighbors. Challenges and new chances of policy shaping" brought together a number of experts to discuss the EU's policies toward its neighbors to the east.
The international event served as preparation for Poland's presidency of the EU, scheduled for 2011. The Bertelsmann Stiftung has carried out numerous activities to support past EU presidencies.
Europe in Dialogue With Middle Eastern "Region of Opportunity"
Network meeting brings together foundations from Europe and Gulf region
Members of the Al-Jisr Network met over the last two days in Berlin to discuss the issues of security and cooperation. Meeting under the auspices of the Gulf Research Center in Dubai and made up of representatives of 20 foundations from Europe and the Gulf region, the network was created in order to promote dialogue among civil society actors in the Middle East. Financed by the European Commission, the network examines issues of joint interest to its members. As participants at the Berlin event concluded in a summary statement, cooperation requires security, and the instable situation in Iraq, Yemen and Iran threatens the Gulf region's security. Moreover, the region is not home to structures promoting dialogue or cooperation, so momentum must come from outside the region.More information available here
Commission on the Black Sea
Second policy report now online: "Security in the Black Sea Region"
Regional tensions, natural resources and geopolitical rivalries make the Black Sea region a strategic but sensitive area. In the absence of cooperative structures able to contain conflict, security threats ranging from interstate conflicts to illegal trafficking have emerged.
Mitat Çelikpala, associate professor of International Relations at TOBB Economy and Technology University in Ankara, is the author of the second of a series of four policy reports presented by the Commission on the Black Sea. According to Çelikpala, the region is politically, historically and geographically divided.
Press Releases
The EU can save billions
The common policies of the EU countries have paid off. For the first time, there are evidence based calculations to prove that the transferal of policies to the EU level, and their funding through the EU, actually saves national governments money. That is the result of a study from the Bertelsmann Stiftung in cooperation with the Centre for European Economic Research (ZEW) and RAND Europemore
Germans have increasingly favorable attitudes toward Poles
The image that Germans have of Poland and the Poles is in- creasingly positive. Three out of four people in Germany now feel comfortable with the idea of having Poles as neighbors and coworkers; a majority of Germans even say they can imagine Poles as German citizens and friends. Those are the findings of a long-term study being carried out by the Ber- telsmann Stiftung and the Institute of Public Affairs in Warsaw.more
Germany profits from the Euro
Germany profits considerably from the Euro, as a current model calculation of Prognos AG shows that was drawn up on the order of the Bertelsmann Stiftung. "Germany's membership in the currency union reduces costs for international trade and protects it from strong exchange rate fluctuations," Aart De Geus, chairman and CEO of the Bertelsmann Stiftung, said.more
Tempered Optimism Greets TTIP
A survey of 120 stakeholders in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations reveals that 88 percent believe the United States of America and the European Union will come to an agreement on expanding their economic ties. The results are included in a 10-page report released today at the 5th annual Bertelsmann Foundation-Financial Times conference in Washington, DC.more
Greece's Withdrawal from the Eurozone Could Cause Global Economic Crisis
Greece's exit from the Euro bears the risk of kindling a wildfire throughout Europe - possibly even on an international level - and may result in a worldwide economic crisis. Countries affected would include not only Southern member states and their EU partners, but also the USA, China and other emerging countries.
Bertelsmann Stiftung recommends reform of European sovereign debt rules
According to a recent study conducted by the Bertelsmann Stiftung and Prognos AG, the Fiscal Compact signed by 25 EU member states in early March leaves much to be desired when it comes to promoting economic growth. The study "Maastricht 2.0" criticizes the Compact's debt brake rules, which are seen as being too restrictive in the long term and too lax in the short term. And they do not take into account national peculiarities.more

Europe's New Balance of Power
The Lisbon Treaty has been in effect since the beginning of December, following a long struggle within the EU to ensure its ratification. In our current issue of "spotlight europe," we discuss the new balance of power Europe must now strike and take a slightly ironic look at the opportunities and potential for conflict inherent in the Lisbon Treaty.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 5, 2011)—Temple's Door, the lone 3-year-old in the field, won for the second time in as many starts, capturing the $52,400 feature Thursday at Hollywood Park.
The even-money favorite in the optional claimer, the son of Leroidesanimaux and the Halling mare Chetak tracked the pace while saving ground, angled out for room at the top of the stretch and went on to prevail by 1 ¾ lengths.
Ridden by Chantal Sutherland, Temple's Door completed the 1 ¼ miles on turf in 2:01.25. A winner against $50,000 maidens in his career debut March 31 at Santa Anita, Temple's Door increased his earnings to $49,800 for owner Ingrid E. Truman and trainer Carla Gaines.
Temple's Door paid $4, $2.60 and $2.60. Porfido, the 3-1 second choice and pacesetter, returned $3.20 and $2.60. The show price on 12-1 outsider Victorian Prince was $4.20.
Completing the order of finish were Foolish Comment, Balboa Bay and Ducane.
Although he had to settle for second aboard Porfido, who has now lost 19 in a row, jockey Joe Talamo did have three victories Thursday. Talamo won the second with Twodollarstowin, the fifth with Luckarack and the sixth on Full Deputy. The last win for Porfido, a 9-year-old Chilean bred, came by three lengths in an optional claimer Jan. 18, 2008 at Santa Anita.
There was a single perfect ticket in the Pick 6. The return was $52,716.40.
Racing resumes Friday. Post time is 1 p.m.
This is the only Friday afternoon program during the Spring/Summer meet. Gates will open at 7 a.m. The first import from Churchill Downs is 7:30 a.m. The main event at the Louisville track is the Kentucky Oaks.

Astrograph Telescopes
For serious astrophotographers, an optical tube that has quality optics and suitable specifications is key to producing successful images. Astrographs come in many different specifications and designs, so each model can be oriented or preferred for a different type of imaging (eg. solar, terrestrial, deep sky etc). Some common designs include the Ritchey-Chrétien, Riccardi Honders, and Catadioptric optical tubes. Choosing an astrograph depends on how the astro-imager wants to observe, what focal length and focal ratio it has, aperture, optical coatings, and how suitable it is for the camera they intend to use.
A key specification very important to consider when choosing an astrograph is focal ratio in relation to aperture. This is an important to remember because focal ratio determines what the magnification and field of view the observor will get. Therefore, if the observor intends to mainly view deep sky objects with lower surface brightnesses, a shorter focal length will reduce magnification and increase field of view since most deep sky objects tend to appear very large but not bright. Astrograph telescopes with slower focal ratios such as an f/12 will provide higher magnification and smaller field of views; better for planetary observing.
