Online Casinos – Making the casino experience accessible to all
Online Casinos – fast growing gambling online
Gambling is a game of chance that can be very rewarding if you play it right, however, not every one who visits a casino expects to come out with his back pocket stuffed full of cash. Going to a casino need not bankrupt you either.
For most people who flutter, be it on the national lottery or at a casino there is more to their expectation that winning, for the notational lottery, proceeds is know to go to good cause and when you go to the casino, it is usually more of an entertainment than to win millions. Just look at the handsome card dealer, the glamorous croupier and the top entertainment act casinos lay on for their guests.
While all the glitter and glamour of real life casinos such as the famous ones in Las Vegas or in the West End of London cannot be transferred directly to online casinos the functionality of a casino, right from a roulette table to a blackjack has been perfectly replicated at online casino, bring almost everything you can expect at the casinos of West End of London accessible in your home through your computer and more recently on your smartphone.
Users of online casinos remarked that while it is not exactly like going out to a real life casino, it is never the less an excellent experience and quite better than the traditional casino in some respect. Online casino operators are know to offer cash incentives to get new users to try playing at online casinos.
Critics of online casinos complain that it encourages addiction to gambling and players can spend much more money than they may otherwise spend if they were at a brick and mortar casino. Virtual casino operators counter the argument by saying there is limit on how much a user can spend online and many other safety checks to minimise the chances of online casino users raking up debt.

Missouri Homelessness Increase
By: Shayla Patrick
Updated: December 11, 2012
JOPLIN, MO.--- David Terry has spent many nights not knowing where his next meal would come from.
"I didn't know where I was going to go, whether I was going to go under a bridge or not," states David Terry, Currently Homeless.
He's not alone. According to a study released through the Federal Housing and Urban Development Agency, Terry is one of more than 10,000 homeless Missouri residents.
"Statistically, it's been higher in this area of Missouri than in other parts. I think, when you find some of your more populous areas, you find increased pockets of homelessness," states James Whitford, Executive Director, Watered Gardens.
The 14% statewide increase equates to approximately 1,200 people just like Terry who became newly homeless in 2012.
"People don't realize how quickly it could happen to them, it's just a heartbeat away. I was working just 5 months ago, I had my own apartment and a job, and now here I am," states Terry.
Area homeless shelter directors are working to reverse this trend on the local level.
"When we talk about really helping the poor, we have to have an expectation of exchange. Exchange meaning that, I'm not just here to give something to you, but you have something in you that is meant to be helping us in our community," states Whitford.
Watered Gardens shelter primarily operates on a merit based system to help restore a sense of self worth and work ethic in people who may have temporarily lost their way.
"As long as we look at the homeless and the poor as some group of people we just need to give something to, we will never help them," states Whitford.
Shelter leaders say spending time with homeless people is another way to help reverse the emotional and psychological factors that sometimes perpetuate homelessness.

System.out.println( Math.sin(Math.PI) ); // output: 1.2246467991473532E-16
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't the best in my math class, but shouldn't this output 0 ?
I've tried to use this:
double pi = Math.toRadians(180); System.out.println( Math.sin(pi) );...but I got the same result
I've also tried to get cos of Math.PI and it worked fine. So what's the explanation?

Support a Montana where everyone is valued.
We support a fair Montana, where everyone has equal access to employment, housing, and public accommodations and where every family is valued.
The State of Montana should ensure that all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, are protected from discrimination and that committed couples have full legal protections for their families.
Join us in building an inclusive Montana where everyone is valued and where basic fairness provides everyone equal access to employment, housing, public accommodations and legal protection for committed couples.
Discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity has no place when it comes to where a person can work, live or play or when it comes to caring for our families.
More than 100 Montana clergy members support our Fair is Fair campaign. Sixty-six Montana religious leaders have signed onto an amicus curaie brief supporting our couples' appeal to the Montana Supreme Court.
Find out more about our Fair is Fair campaign at www.fairisfairmontana.org
Domestic Partnerships
Montana's Constitution guarantees the rights of privacy, dignity, pursuit of life's necessities, equal protection and due process. The goal of our lawsuit, Donaldson and Guggenheim v. State of Montana, is to see that same-sex couples are able to protect their families with the same kind of legal protections that opposite-sex couples are offered through marriage.
In Kulstad v. Maniaci, the ACLU's plaintiff, Michell Kulstad, sued her former partner for custody rights. The two women had jointly raised two children, but the children had only been legally adopted by Maniaci. In 2009, the Montana Supreme Court ruled that by providing for the children's day-to-day physical and emotional needs with Maniaci's encouragement, Kulstad met all the requirements under state law to be declared a de facto parent, and that it was in the children's best interest that this parent-child relationship continue.
Equal Protection
Snetsinger v. Montana. In February 2002, the ACLU, on behalf of two same-sex partners and PRIDE, brought suit against the Montana University System, the Montana Board of Regents and the State of Montana for failure to allow access to health insurance for same sex partners of the University System employees. The district dismissed the suit, holding that marital status was a proper basis on which to award health insurance benefits. The Montana Supreme Court reversed the district court in 2004, however, and held that excluding same-sex couples from health insurance was a violation of Equal Protection principles because unmarried opposite sex couples could file affidavits in order to obtain coverage while same-sex couples could not.
Safe Schools
In 2001, a partnership of state-wide organizations formed the Montana Safe Schools Coalition (MSSC). The MSSC has a singular focus: creating safer learning environments for lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) students and staff; those who are perceived as LGBT; and those who have LGBT family members. To this end, the MSSC provides Making Montana Schools Safer* workshops to Montana educators, developing their skills, expertise and confidence to prevent and interrupt anti-gay bullying. Thus far, MSSC has provided trainings for hundreds of teachers from over two dozen school districts.
Tell 3
The "Tell 3" campaign uses one-on-one conversations and personal stories to give people a chance to better understand the real-life concerns of LGBT friends and family members. "Tell 3" trainings are presented by young people for young people and prepare LGBT students and straight allies to tell three people why we need fairness. E-mail
to schedule a training session.
Pride and events
We take part Montana's Pride celebration every year and enjoy gathering with fellow LGBT advocates and taking our message to the general public. You may have also seen as at the fair in Great Falls or Billings.
The ACLU advocates on behalf of LGBT rights in many forums across Montana, including the Montana Legislature, city commissions and school districts.
2011 Montana Legislature
We were disappointed when the House Judiciary Committee tabled a bill to amend the criminal code to delete same-sex relations from the definition of deviant sexual conduct, after the Senate approved the bill in an overwhelming bipartisan vote. For years, the legislature has refused to change the statute so that it complies with rulings by the Montana and United States Supreme Courts. We are heartened, however, by the scores of legislators who did vote for the bill, indicating a strong starting point for a bill next session.
The Legislature maintained the status quo when it comes to LGBT-inclusive non-discrimination laws, a partial victory for us. Legislators continued to refuse to expand the state's non-discrimination law to include sexual orientation and gender identity and expression. Meanwhile, the Senate eventually killed another bill that would have repealed the LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination ordinance that the City of Missoula passed in April 2010, and would have prohibited any local government from enacting a similar ordinance.
Nondiscrimination Ordinances
The ACLU of Montana drafted the ordinance and worked with the Montana Human Rights Network and other partner organizations in 2010 to push for the adoption of a nondiscrimination ordinance in Missoula protecting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in matters of employment, housing and public accommodations. It passed on April 12, 2010, and took effect in May 2010. We are supporting a similar effort in Helena.

Report no. 12: Growing Up Around Alcohol Abuse
Reporting from: Kotzebue, AK (pop. 3,294)
HOST INTRO: Rates of alcohol abuse in Alaska are some of the highest in the nation and communities across the state regularly suffer from domestic violence, abuse, suicide and other related issues because of it. This is the final installment of the special reporting series, "Being Young In Rural Alaska" from the producers of Kids These Days.
Traveling and reporting in rural Alaska, it's impossible to miss the signs of alcohol abuse, and yet people often don't talk about it: it's such a part of life that it's almost taken for granted. So what's it like to be a kid growing up around heavy alcohol use in small-town Alaska? Sarah Gonzales heads to Kotzebue to find out.
Kotzebue is located just north of the Arctic Circle. The community recently voted to have a liquor store in town - the first in a generation.
SARAH GONZALES: Teens in the youth leader program in Kotzebue have some strong opinions about alcohol:
[Teen voices montage] "I grew up here seeing people drink I've heard stories of people dying from overdrinking and I've seen what drinking can do to a person and I don't like it… It hurts the family, too…Drinking can affect the family emotionally, physically and mentally…Fighting and don't remember the family times and stuff like that…The alcohol and the abuse that I don't like about this town…"
Teen Leaders in Kotzebue.
They are outspoken among their peers on the issues of drinking, smoking, using drugs - trying to both educate and set a good example for younger students. They've grown up surrounded by a lot of alcohol:
[Teen voices montage cont…] "I've seen my mom and relatives drinking…My dad and uncle and them and I've seen the way they act and I don't wanna act like they did…After they've been drinking how they were, their behavior and in the morning they'd be grouchy and I don't wanna be like that…It really saddens me to see the people – MY people I grew up with – acting like that….It makes me feel like I'm the adult and they're the children."
Meritha Cappelle is now a young adult in her 20's. She grew up Kiana, a small village outside Kotzebue; she's now an administrator within the borough.
[Meritha Capelle] "A lot! There was a lot of drinking growing up. I mean, it was just the social norm."
Capelle says that for her growing up in a place where alcohol was restricted, where people struggled with alcoholism, made it difficult to form any sort of so-called "normal" view of drinking.
[Capelle] "I would say it wasn't until I left Alaska that I realized, 'Oh they have liquor on the shelves here,' it wasn't locked up in a whole separate store. There was a different way to drink responsibly or even a healthy way to drink, you know, to be able to stop at a drink or two rather than finishing a bottle in fifteen minutes."
Kotzebue voted three years ago to allow alcohol and two years ago the package store and distribution center opened in town. Purchasing liquor is legal in limited quantities and only after paying the city for a permit and a background check. The system brings in revenue for the city, and allows for pretty strict regulation. That's won the support of many community members, including law enforcement. Police Chief Craig Moates says the opening of the store hasn't made much of an impact on the number of alcohol-related calls that they respond to.
[Chief Moates] "We respond to a number of calls ranging from theft to assaults. (Sarah: Do you have any way of knowing if the assaults or anything else are related to alcohol?) Well, generically here we say it's the anomaly when the calls aren't alcohol-related."
The "liquor store" in Kotzebue is adjacent to the police station.
Those who want to get drunk will find a way to get their booze one way or another – bootlegging, homebrew, at a store - which is why some think that teaching youth how to have a healthier relationship with alcohol through moderation could be a more valuable message than the total abstinence one.
Scotty Barr grew up in Kotzebue, he's now a health educator with Akeela:
[Scotty Barr] "If we can as parents teach them to stay healthy and not scare them off – you know, alcohol is bad for you, tobacco is bad for you – it's like you're fueling them and they say, you know, I'm gonna try this."
But, there's enough stigma about alcohol abuse, that many moderate users don't want to engage in any sort of public, alcohol-related behavior says Meritha, like buying a bottle of wine at the local package store...
[Capelle] "I won't go there, you know, and that's the thing – it's not that I won't have a drink but I won't go there…there's definitely a stigma."
And while so many people still struggle with alcohol abuse, that stigma may remain. Maniilaq Association is trying new methods in its treatment and recovery programs to try to bring those numbers down.
Bree Swanson is the Administrator for Social Services there. She says it used to be that the way those services were offered wasn't successful – helping people get better away from their families and villages meant they often returned to the same harmful environment from before; recovery support groups were often canceled due to lack of participation. Turning that around all came down to dependable facilitators, establishing trust and implementing Inupiaq values.
[Swanson] "We started out with nobody showing up and now we have 24 in a group, so we had to add more hours just recently."
Swanson says their training of Village-Based Counselors helps people where they live - and Maniilaq's starting to implement telemedicine capabilities, too - so providers in the hub of Kotzebue can remotely connect to outlying clients in the villages.
But turning a life around from alcohol abuse isn't just quitting the drink, she says, it's about having work, feeling useful, being surrounded by supportive family and friends, managing everyday stressors. It's really about getting the entire community well.
[Swanson] "You know you go back into the same community with the same people doing the same things and it's really easy to get pulled back into that same cycle."
Breaking the cycle is a frequent topic of conversation among the teen youth leaders and their advisor, Michelle Woods, is no-nonsense when it comes to discussing this topic with them.
[Woods] "If you're gonna stay in the village then you make it a good village. If you don't like the fact that you can't walk down the street because you got a bunch of drunks being ass****s then YOU change it and you change it now by your attitude and by what you say to the little kids."
Straight-talking Teen Leaders advisor, Michelle Woods
And the young people want that change. Fifteen-year old Lorena Gephardt wants to go away to college to become a pharmacist and then come back to Kotzebue to live, work and raise her own family. She hopes to do all that in a healthier environment.
[Gephardt] "With that stuff gone – no more drunks, no more smoking or just a healthier diet – could really make a difference in this community. (Sarah: Do you think you guys can help that happen?) I DO think that because WE are the next generation, we're the VOICES and we DO make an impact."
And they most likely will - if they receive the support they need to make those healthier decisions - for themselves, their families and the community as a whole.

Kristen Stewart Cheats on Robert Pattinson with Rupert Sanders
by Hilton Hater at .Typically, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are fighting off rumors about a baby or an engagement. The latter recently came out and said the couple isn't getting married any time soon.
But the Twilight Saga co-stars have a very different story to try and deny now: multiple outlets report Kristen cheated on Rob with Rupert Sanders, the director of Snow White and the Huntsman.
According to the latest issue of Us Weekly, Stewart and Sanders - who is married with two children - were actually caught in the act by photographers.
"It seemed like they couldn't get enough," a witness tells the tabloid of the make out session.
Why can't this be dismissed as just another ridiculous Robsten rumor? Because more respectable sources People and E! News have also confirmed the affair. The former says it was just a one-time fling.
"Kristen is absolutely devastated," an insider says to People. "It was a mistake and a complete lapse in judgment."
UPDATE: WHOA. Stewart has admitted to the affair and apologized for the incident.

That's disgusting. Why cheat? If she wasn't satisfied with her current relationship she could have just broken up, but to go behind the back of the very man that loved her just to have a fling with someone old enough to be her father is extremely low. Yes people, she is officially a certified 1st class tramp or as the Brit have it TWAT. I mean the guy is married with two kids...you can't get any worse then this!
cheating is not good, but she is a single woman. Better she finds out now before marrying her very popular boyfriend. The one that cheated is Rupert. I must say Kristen and Rupert look good together. Kristen might be the kind of person that is attracted to men that she works with. She is not ready for a serious one person relationship

Before this she was in like only one disney movie but thats the only one ive seen srry if theres more.but uea most of her publicty has been from rob and her together or just rob.and she just royaly f**ked herself.

Displaying town's Titanic links
Last updated at 21:12, Thursday, 29 March 2012
An exhibtion to mark Maryport's links to the Titanic was officially opened at the town's Wave Centre last Friday by Workington MP Tony Cunningham.
He said the exhibition, called Maryport to the Titanic, was one of the best in the North.
It chronicles the town's maritime history and its links, through the White Star shipping line to the ill-fated Titanic.
Created by volunteers from Maryport Maritime Museum, the exhibition runs until May 13.
Hundreds of people have already been to see it, and by the end of its run more than 2,000 pupils from across Cumbria will have attended.
Mr Cunningham paid tribute to the volunteers, who he said had done a fantastic job in creating the exhibition, and added that he hoped visitors to the Lake District this spring would take the time to go to Maryport.
The exhibition includes dresses from the blockbuster movie Titanic, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, and visitors can view a replica of a first-class restaurant, a third-class cabin and the ship's radio room.
The admission price includes a ticket with the name and details of individual passengers. At the end of the tour visitors can view a passenger list to discover what happened to the individuals.

*Warning: Story includes quotes from text messages recovered by police that are graphic in nature.
NASHVILLE, TENN. – A 45-year-old man was arrested for solicited a 14-year-old girl for sex via text message, and what's worse; the suspect is the father of one of the teen girl's friends.
The teen's mother spoke to NewsChannel5. To protect her daughter Jen did not want to reveal her identity, but she wants her message heard loud and clear.
"I just think parents can never ask enough questions of what their kids are doing. Going behind them and checking the text messaging, pictures, different things like that," said the mother.
This comes after Jen's 14-year-old daughter started receiving text messages from someone she didn't know.
Jen says the first message received said something along the lines of, "you're hot."
Soon the tone of those messages started to change, even asking for naked photos.
Another text said, "Hey text me back and don't tell ___ im texting you or I swear ill call your parents tonight."
"She knew something didn't add up about it. I think that the person who told her not to tell her friends, so that kind of gave it away too," said Jen.
The 14-year-old thought these messages were from her friend's father, 45-year-old Richard C. Maule.
When at summer school at Hillwood High School, she asked the messenger what he wanted. He replied "I want to f***."
Jen said, "as soon as she received those explicit text messages she went directly to her teacher at school."
At this point the teacher called police and Jen.
A detective with the Metro Nashville Police Department's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force took over the texting, posing as the 14-year-old girl, asking Maule why he wanted to have sex with her.
He replied, "cause you're hot are you cool with that."
When asked what he wanted to do, Maule replied, "eat finger and f***."
The detective, posing as the girl, set a time to meet with Maule at a nearby pool.
The final message from Maule when he arrived read, "ok go too the bathroom, take a couple of towels to lay down on and ill meet you there."
Instead of meeting a 14-year-old girl, Maule was met by a Metro police detective and arrested.
Investigators said it looked as if Maule was able to get the 14-year-old's number from his child's cell phone.
Maule was being held Friday night on $75,000 bond. He was being charged with soliciting a minor for the purpose of statutory rape and soliciting the sexual exploitation of a minor.

Ron Gross's family gets answers from city officials on why the nearest EMS official didn't respond to their 911 call
ALBANY, GA. -- When you call 911 you expect emergency officials to respond within a few minutes.
On Wednesday November 17 while eating at El Vaqueros Melissa Goodin's father Ron Gross went limp. The family panicked, bystanders called 911, and a group of nurses sprang into action giving her father CPR. As the seconds turned into minutes the family wondered where's the ambulance since there's a station half a mile away.
The official report says it took 12 minutes until EMS arrived at the scene. Fire Chief James Carswell says Albany's 911 system tries to be as efficient as possible, but there's a lot more that goes into routing an emergency official to a scene. "Sometimes they may think one's right around the corner, but in reality that vehicle is tied up doing something else which means the closest units available may be 5 or 6 miles away and have much further to come" says Carswell.
The C.A.D., computer assisted dispatcher system considers location, level of emergency, and responder availability when routing officials to an emergency. "C.A.D grades out the information that's given to them over the phone and determines what the appropriate response is. From there the dispatcher who's doing the radio traffic will dispatch the units and provide whatever information the call taker has received and will continue to update the information as the units respond to the location" says Carswell.
The Gross/Goodin family say they understand now that the closest EMS location didn't have vehicles and therefore couldn't respond to their emergency. They add that they are thankful to the nurses who performed CPR, the bystanders who called for help, and the strangers that comforted them in one of the family's darkest hours. Goodin also clarified that her father died of a pulmonary embolism, which is an emergency that is nearly impossible to save the victim. "Now that I know the facts, I realize that it was my father's time to go, and I believe that as far as the city's EMS is concerned they responded as quickly as they could" says Goodin.
The family also took the opportunity to share the message that 911 calls are for life threatening emergencies only. Operators are required to dispatch officials to a call so if someone calls for a minor concern they could be endangering the life of someone with a true medical emergency. Chief Carswell says every day the center gets calls that could be better answered by a personal doctor or the 311 information system.

Sarah sat in the driver's seat for a moment, thinking. She pulled the hood latch, exited the car and removed the jack and tool pouch from beneath the hood.
She chocked the driver's front wheel.
She popped off the driver's rear wheel cover, then inserted the jack into the jacking port and raised the car enough so that the tire was off the concrete.
Next, she put the transmission into third gear, pressed the accelerator once to set the choke and turned the key to the "On" position.

Should you're an affiliate marketer who repeatedly promotes information merchandise on ClickBank then you know the way a lot work goes into organising an efficient advertising and promotional campaign.
In this article I'm going to briefly go over the process anybody who wants to make affiliate commissions must implement to earn a living with ClickBank.
One of the first issues tremendous affiliates do is about up a lead technology system. Super associates know that almost all of tourists that come to their website are usually not going to purchase on the primary look so that they be sure that to not waste any traffic.
In organising their lead generation system, they may discover or create a report intently related to the topic of the supply they are promoting.
They may even go so far as to have an ecover created to carefully match the look of the product they're promoting.
So this means they:
1. Create a free report
2. Create a lead capture web page
3. Create a thank you presell web page with a hyperlink to the product
4. Setup a download page for the free book
5. Setup an autoresponder sequence that continues to advertise the provide
6. Drive site visitors to that lead capture web page utilizing numerous methods both free and paid
7. Do it once more for an additional product.
This is how the super affiliates efficiently promote ClickBank merchandise and construct a list of subscribers that they'll promote other presents to over and over in varied niches.
Whereas that may seem simple sufficient to do, for many people who are not conversant in this process, getting all this up and working is usually a bit sticky and irritating to say the least.
If you don't know html and are not quite certain how one can decide merchandise that will even be definitely worth the time and vitality to undergo the difficulty for, you may waste loads of time.
There are many ways to make money fast and now a days mostly every one is interested to use

Anshuman,I'm reposting this. I have questions regarding the TVP5158 driver release that was announced in June 2011:
http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/davinci_digital_media_processors/f/100/t/118704.aspx.It appears that the TVP5158 driver requires a significant level of effort to integrate into a udworks DM36x reference DVR. See the following forum threads:
Because I was under the impression that this 5158 driver release was developed & validated on the DM36x DVR platform - the release notes state that the release 00.02.00 was validated on a DM365 DVR - these issues come as a surprise and concern to me. I've been working on the 5158 driver for several weeks w/a Leopardboard 368, and I'm not seeing that the current driver fits at all well on that platform either.At this point, it's clear that I need to better understand the current state of development on the 5158 driver. I've been using the DM365_DVR_DVSDK3_00.02.00.00.zip release package that you announced in June 2011, on the 4.02 DVSDK for the DM368. In the TVP5158 driver announcement, you state that this driver is for the DM36x, based on DVSDK 3.x and kernel 2.6.32, and again, the release notes state that the release was validated on a DM365 DVR.- On what specific DM36x platform did TI develop and validate this driver release?- This driver release from last summer has missing components, such as audio support, and is filled w/personalizations, including multiple references to user 'deepu' and his/her home directory. The driver comes across as incomplete and a work-in-progress. Are there plans and a timeline for an updated release?regards,gifford scott
I'm also interest in that driver.
Gifford, Have you got any reply?
Our company has discussed this concern w/our local TI FAE, and we have been promised a telephone conference sometime this week w/TI India. According to our FAE, Anshuman has confirmed that this driver was validated on the udworks DM365 DVR reference platform, using DVSDK 3.x. But given the issues that other developers have had running the June 2011 driver release on the udworks DVR platform, I want to discuss w/TI the exact set of software that needs to be loaded and run, in order to validate the driver. At this moment, I'm primarily concerned that the released driver may not properly initialize the TVP5158 driver chip, but instead may need additional application s/w, like mcvip_test.out, to do this work. I've been trying to port this driver to a Leopardboard368 w/o first testing it out on a udworks DVR platform, and that's been a difficult process. I'll post an update to this thread when I hear more from TI.
regards,gifford scott
Thanks Gifford,
I'll do the same, if we decide to take the risk and bet on that platform...
Any word on this? I've been attempting to forward port the driver to a 2.6.37 kernel. One thing that I've learned is that TI should have made a MFD driver to combine audio and video. I'm investigating how difficult this will be.
Unfortunately, the ASoC layer has changed significantly between 2.6.32 and 2.6.37. MFD looks to be the way to go -- you pull the core of the driver up into a parent driver. This driver serializes i/o so that audio and video register writes are not stepping on each other.
Mark,Thanks very much for hitting this thread again. I had been holding off on updating this thread until we had completed our conversation w/TI. We did resolve our show-stopping issue w/the TVP5158 driver, two weeks ago, w/assistance from TI & Anshuman. I had initially suspected that our issue was w/the TVP5158 register initialization, but we satisfied ourselves that the TVP5158 was initialized and responding correctly, even w/the small subset of registers that the driver was writing to the chip. After exhausting that possibility, and on TI/Anshuman's recommendation, we looked at the internal ISIF registers and found our issue:The udWorks DVR swaps the pinning of the high- (Y) and low-byte (Cr/Cb) of the master TVP5158 decoder in its connection to the DM368 video port. The Leopardboard TVP5146 module and our TVP5158 module don't do this swapping. The difference was hidden by the fact that the udWorks DVR schematic labeled the video port net names as if no swap had been done. The 5158 driver required a change, to set the YCINSWP bit in the ISIF CCDCFG register in dm365_ccdc.c.We lost two weeks on this problem, plus the two weeks that it originally took to clean-up the driver so that it would install correctly on kernel 2.6.32 on the Leopardboard (removal of the slave 5158 support, I2C address issues, restoring support for NTSC 525-line modes, demux threading problems, etc, etc). I saw the work that you had to do to serialize the audio & video I2C writes under kernel 2.6.32 and the Jun 2011 TVP5158 driver, and re-enabling the audio support on the Jun 2011 TVP5158 driver *is* still on our to-do list. Other than that, we're not planning to upgrade our kernel to 2.6.37, having seen no pressing need to do so. Sorry that I cannot be of more assistance, especially given your significant contributions to the TVP5158 knowledge base.Also, I do have confirmation from TI for my first question above:- The Jun 2011 TVP5158 driver (DM365_DVR_DVSDK3_00.02.00.00.zip) was validated on the udWorks reference DM365 DVR.regards,gifford
Thanks for the update. Do you have any more information on the demux threading problem? I haven't run into anything terrible there, and I would rather find the problem sooner than later.
When using the user space mcvip.a lib and API, we thought we had seen race conditions that prevent the consistent release of frame buffers. We've been reluctant to change much in the TVP5158 driver, ever since it started working :), so I haven't done much in mcvip_demux.c, other than commenting out printfs. Whether more work is needed, is TBD.
I significantly changed libmcvip.a, so it wouldn't surprise me if I fixed a few bugs with the threading.
Thanks for the update.
Yes, linux is all about 'learning by doing'...
I just wanted to let you know that when you get around to tvp5158 audio, you're going to need to modify davinci-i2s.c a bit in order to configure McBSP correctly. It will work the way you have it now, but your audio channels will not be constant. That is, you may record channels 1,2,3,4 (in that order) on one try and 3,4,1,2 the next time around. Also, if there is a buffer overrun, your channels will be all mixed up.
I've configured mine here to capture 1 32 bit word in phase 1 and 1 32 bit word in phase 2. This is beneficial because it significantly cuts down on the number of interrupts and you end up with your data as follows:
32 bit Left channel has tvp5158 channels 3,1
32 bit Right channel has tvp5158 channels 4,2
However, when recording from something, say, "arecord", it gets it all right if you specify 4 16 bit channels. You end up with a 4 channel wav file with your channels in 3,1,4,2 order.
It's been awhile. The tips on channel ordering are very much appreciated. We've only got the 5158 hooked up to the video port on the Leopardboard, for now; looking forward to the fun when we get h/w with a McBSP connection.
I am also working on the audio using the 5158 chip and the DM368. Are there any other changes to the Davinci-i2s.c file other than setting the RCR register in the McBSP to use 2 phases and 32 bits per phase? I am concerned about the DMA parameters, etc.. Right now everything is set up for 16 bit data.
Even after using 32 bits per phase, I would still occasionally run into situations where the two channels would flip when the DM365 was under load. I ended up configuring the tvp5158 in dsp mode and the McBSP accordingly. It was a pain, but I've done hours of recording without channel flips.
This works because there is a single pulse followed by 4 frames of audio. It's impossible to get out of sync.
Thanks for the reply.
Right now I have the 5158 sending 4 channels at 16 bits each (PCM linear) and the McBSP set for DSP mode, with the RCR register set to 1 bit delay, 2 phases of 2 16 bit words each. When we load down the system, the audio channel can skip to other slots. Right now I am looking at boosting the priority of the EDMA operation. Ultimately I want to use 8 bit uLaw audio for each channel but I am using 16 bit PCM linear for now.
I am not sure if I have the McBSP registers set correctly.
Here are my register settings:
SPCR 0x2000037
RCR 0x81410140
SRGR 0x101F0F00
PCR = 0x85
5158 register 0xC3 is set to 0x78. DSP mode, master, 64fs
If you see anything blatantly fouled up, I am open to correction.
I went down the same road already. While switching to a higher priority EDMA channel and using SRAM for the DMA buffers helped, it was still possible to get out of sync.
From what I saw, it was not possible to use 8 bit uLaw in DSP mode on the tvp5158, so take of this what you will.
In short, I set up McBSP in TDM mode and TVP5158 in DSP mode. I don't have the hardware handy at the moment to output the McBSP register settings, but here's what I can recall:
5158 0xC3 is 0x78
+#define AUDIO_FORMAT (SND_SOC_DAIFMT_DSP_B | SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBM_CFM | SND_SOC_DAIFMT_IB_NF)
2 bit RCR delay
TDM mode, with 4x16 bit channels.
If I can get the hardware again, I can dump the register values. In the mean time, though, I'd advise reading the McBSP docs and understanding how it handles TDM. It matches the DSP mode of the TVP5158 pretty well, but it can be frustrating to get set up.
I'm also using a 2.6.37 kernel, a 4.0.3 DVSDK "prerelease", and I've made significant changes to the TVP5158 driver, so it is a little difficult to pick apart what I've done to help you. I'll do my best to get the hardware and dump the McBSP regs, though.

Unexpected visitors came Sunday early morning to visit activists of the anarchists against the wall and others with a "present": It is not everyday I get a wake up call from the police. Without warrant,they entered our home and handed over four bits of paper each with a map showing one of the villages of Bil'in, Kfur Qaddum, Nil'in and An Nabi Salih. They explained that until mid-March 2013 I cannot go on Fridays to any of these villages. They recorded the whole thing and insisted on signing receipt. It took time to understand it was not a legal personal restriction order, but a bogus act of intimidation which have no legal meaning. As it was the initiative of the regional commander of the center of the occupied was bank I joked that may be he want us to shift the focus of our weekend joint actions to the southern region of Southern Hebron Hills, Ma'asara, and beit Ommar.

Last Weekend, after the Holiday, all the regular struggles were resumed, and many details are included in this report. Beit Ommar, Bil'in, Ma'sara, Nabi Saleh, Nilin, Qaddom, South of Hebron Hills and Sheikh Jarah too.... After eight years of continuous activity against the separation fences and walls & occupation in the west bank, and sporadic activities within Israel (including within the spectrum of social justice).

The joint struggle in Bil'in have never stopped for the last seven years and eight months. It inspired the persistent struggles in Ni'ilin, Ma'asara, Beit Ummar, Nabi Saleh, Qaddum, and Sheikh Jarrah. Activists of the persistent locals inspired and helped the struggles in additional communities. It was "upgraded" when the higher level comity of the struggling local communities was organized. In addition to support of the local struggles it was also expressed in joint actions like this of the previous week at the 443 high way to Jerusalem which pass through the occupied west bank of Palestine and this week at the Beniamin compound against the settler colonialist Rami levi supermarket. This week end the activities were minimal because of the Eid Al Adha holiday, but not canceled. [Italiano] ... read full story / add a comment

The social struggle with in Israel fragmented. Some of the leading activists used the focusing of media on them for jumping on the election wagon. Only minority choose the non parliamentary road. Very few of the activist were educated by their struggle to adopt anti capitalist anti authoritarian road for social struggle. In the occupied territories lot of stress as the settler colonialists get more cooperation by state forces in are C but the threat of the collapse/disintegration of the Palestinian authority force Israel to make concessions no previous struggle and pressure brought about. The joint struggle of the anarchists against the wall has a diminishing momentum but we still go on.

The separation fence is no more at the center of attention - both in the efforts of the Israeli state which is using more brutal means for the transfer of the Palestinians from rural areas, and among the Palestinian public which is focused around the survival of the Palestinian authority in the West Bank. The danger of the collapse of the PA has forced Israel to allow more Palestinian workers to enter Israel - half of them with official permits. It also provided some monetary help too. However the efforts to clear rural areas with the help of colonialist settler paramilitaries and terrorists has increased the joint struggles against it - mainly in the South Hebron Mountains. The joint struggle in Beit Ummar, Nabi Saleh against the state helped encrouchments by colonial settlers and Qaddum are still worrying the occupation managers who have gradually escalated the efforts to crush them.

The ferment and anger increase in the general population of the occupied west bank and Gaza. The already two weeks daily evening stone throwing of the Shabab of Qalandia at the Israeli check post. The economic ferment of unemployed in the west bank forced Israel to admit economic support in fear of the collapse of the Palestinian authority. The more than 50 thousands of Palestinians working daily in Israel are part of this economic compromises. However, the Israeli efforts to transfer out farmers from the agrarian areas of C category intensify with the unofficially help of the settlers. The involvement of the Israeli activists in Nabi Saleh, Beit Ummar and South of Hebron Hills area are the most damaging to this project and the pogrom at Anata-Anatot where state forces personnel who live there participated with immunity was a clear message to the Israeli activists.

The NASA Mission Reports is a series of books that will include all of the Apollo missions from Apollo 8 to Apollo 17 and all of the Mercury, Gemini and Skylab missions. All books will have CD-ROMs included.
The contents are by now just about standard: the press kit, the pre-mission report, the post-mission report, and the crew debriefing. I was glad to see the return of the latter after missing it on Apollo 9. (It's not in volume 1 of the Apollo 11 coverage, but I assume it's in volume 2.) That was a bit more jargon-filled than usual but still worthwhile to skim. Another one for the completist.

The United States enjoyed a united policy toward China for two
decades. That unity ended with Tiananmen Square. But the challenge of
an ascendant China now requires a consistent, steady, long-term view.
The United States must rebuild a bipartisan policy toward China based
on a strategy that can be supported by successive presidents and
Congresses, Republicans and Democrats.
Past U.S. policies toward China have reflected two very different
national traditions. One has drawn images of China, its people, and
its future salvation from America's missionary experience. The other
approach has viewed China in light of the realist's concepts of
power, national interest, and balancing relationships among great
states. At times, the United States has managed to fuse these two
traditions in an unlikely amalgam, although the compound has usually
displayed cracks created by countervailing forces.
Missionaries, Heretics, and Romantics
America has had a special relationship with China. We have
romanticized, and then demonized, China and its people, time and
again, in a pendulum of alternating attitudes, which led in turn to
swings in policy. America's missionary experience with China helped
shape these views. Our first widespread public contact with China
came from efforts in the nineteenth century to convert the Chinese to
Christianity, to rescue them from their condition, to educate them,
to make them like us.
