Lawyer Jon Buchan to discuss crime novel
Author Jon Buchan will speak about his new crime drama, "Code of the Forest," at noon Tuesday at the Lanier Library, 72 Chestnut St., Tryon.
A former South Carolina political reporter and First Amendment lawyer representing newspapers and broadcasters in the courtroom for more than 30 years, Buchan was awarded the William C. Lassiter First Amendment Award in 2000 for his "tireless efforts to defend the First Amendment and protect the public's right to know." More recently, for "Code of the Forest," he received the Gold Medal for Southern Fiction in the Readers Favorite Awards. He grew up in Mullins, S.C., and spent most of his career in Charlotte.
Buchan drew on his knowledge to weave together a tale of political corruption exposed by a small-town newspaper. Set in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, the book has received attention from both the legal and journalistic points of view. John Drescher, executive editor of The News and Observer in Raleigh said, "Jon Buchan knows the law. He knows journalism. He knows politics. A riveting read. If you want to know how the South works, this novel is a good place to start."
The program is part of the Lanier Library's Brown Bag Lunch series. Audience members are encouraged to bring their lunch. Coffee is provided. The program is free. Call 828-859-9535 for more information.

North Carolina Stage Company wins grant
The American Theatre Wing, best known as the creator of the Antoinette Perry "Tony" Awards, has awarded North Carolina Stage Company one of the 2012 National Theatre Company grants.
Created by American Theatre Wing to recognize and support the most promising emerging theater companies from around the country, the National Theatre Company grant honors 10 theaters annually. Companies chosen to receive the $10,000 grant have articulated a distinctive mission, cultivated an audience, and nurtured a community of artists in ways that strengthen and demonstrate the quality, diversity and dynamism of American theater.
"The recognition from the American Theatre Wing is a tremendous honor," said Charlie Flynn-McIver, artistic director and co-founder of N.C. Stage. "Just to be eligible for this award is a tremendous achievement, and I couldn't more proud of and thankful to our staff, board and artists with whom we have worked over the past 10 seasons. The Wing requires that, to be eligible, a company has to have produced at least five consecutive seasons and demonstrate that they pay their performers. That's no easy task in the best of times, let alone during difficult economic times."
NC Stage is in its 11th season.

India/Pakistan: Lighting the nuclear fire
Source:Media Workers Against War
A nuclear war is said to have no winners, but Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee seems to think otherwise.
Events shall take their course in the days and weeks ahead, but there is much to reflect upon as we cross the fourth anniversary of the Pokhran and Chaghai nuclear tests. With free debate on sensitive issues largely proscribed in both countries - particularly on national television - the only voices to be heard are those of militarists and establishment strategic analysts. Not surprisingly, nuclear affairs are now being guided by wishful, delusional, thinking.

HD DVD fights back in the US
But not for long?
HD DVD managed to cut itself a rather larger slice of US hi-def player sales in the third week of January, according to one analyst group's figures. But a rival market watcher still believes that HD DVD will be dead before 2009.
US Standalone HD Player Sales
Source: NPD
According to the NPD Group, HD DVD increased its overall sales percentage against rival Blu-ray from 7.4 per cent in the week ended 12 January to 34.3 per cent during the seven days ended 19 January. While this sounds promising for the Toshiba-backed format, the percentage figures still only translate into 8639 HD DVD units and 16,496 Blu-ray units, during the week ended 19 January, according to NPD numbers cited by website The Digital Bits
It's impossible to pinpoint exactly what caused HD DVD's sudden sales increase, but analyst house Gartner believes that Toshiba's recent HD DVD player price-cut may have had an impact.
"Toshiba's price-cutting may prolong HD DVD's life a little, but the limited line-up of film titles will inflict fatal damage on the format," a Gartner analyst recently forecast. "Gartner expects that, by the end of 2008, Blu-ray will be the winning format in the consumer market, and the war will be over".
Toshiba's not going without a fight though. It's spent $2.7m on a 30 second Super Bowl advert to advertise its new HD DVD player prices.
This week, UK retail store chain Woolworths declared Blu-ray the HD winner, by announcing that it'll end its HD DVD sales in March.

Left winger Simon Gagne's terrific 10-year career with the Flyers is over.
In a move that gives the Flyers cap space but severely weakens their offense, Gagne, 30, was sent to Tampa Bay for defenseman Matt Walker and a fourth-round draft pick in 2011 on Monday.
Walker, 30, had two goals and three assists and was minus-11 last season. The 6-4, 215-pounder was a third-round pick by St. Louis in 1998.
Gagne, who starred in playoffs against Boston and Montreal last season and was the longest-tenured player on the team, was dealt because the Flyers needed to free cap space; he will earn $5.25 million this season.
The Flyers are now overloaded with defensemen and thin on quality wingers, and they almost assuredly will now trade a D-man.
Walker has three years left on his contract, which pays him $1.7 million per season.
GM Paul Holmgren received lots of criticism after the trade was announced, but the deal cannot be judged until the next domino falls.
"This was a move to solidify our defense," said Holmgren. "Matt Walker is a right shot defenseman that we like. He brings size, grit and toughness to our backend. Simon Gagne played 10 seasons for the Flyers and was not only a good player for us, but also handled himself in a first class manner on and off the ice."
Walker, 30, appeared in 66 games during the regular season for the Lightning, recording five points (2G,3A) and 90 penalty minutes.
"My initial reaction was pure excitement," said Walker. "To find out that I was coming to Philly, I don't know if I would say it was a life-long dream, but I've always wanted to play in Philly and I thought I would be a good fit there."

Denny Hamlin won the pole position Friday for the NASCAR race at Martinsville Speedway.
Hamlin led the way as 18 drivers broke Jimmie Johnson's track qualifying record with a speed of 99.595 mph. Johnson, the points leader who set the mark in April, and Kyle Busch tied for second at 99.344 mph, with Johnson getting the second spot Sunday based on the owner points tiebreaker.
Matt Kenseth, a teammate of Hamlin and Busch who trails Johnson by just four points in the championship battle with four races left, will start fourth, meaning the five-time series champion and Hendrick Motorsports star will be surrounded by teammates from Joe Gibbs Racing at the green flag on Sunday.
The pole is the 17th of Hamlin's career and his career-best fifth this season.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's famous Pacific resort of Acapulco is being inundated, not by rising sea levels, but by a flood of debt.
The city's mayor says the local government has been "collapsed" by a total of $162 million in municipal debt built up by a former mayor. That figure exceeds the beach city's annual budget of about $150 million.
Mayor Luis Walton has asked the federal government to step in to help the city, whose economy was battered after the government moved an annual tourism fair it used to host.
Walton's predecessor said Tuesday that the mayor is exaggerating the city's problems. Former Mayor Manuel Anorve tells local media that he actually reduced the city's debt.
Acapulco has been battered in recent years by a wave of drug-gang violence.

Dentro del Parque Nacional El Palmar, en la provincia Argentina de Entre Ríos, se encuentran una serie de caminos para transirar en automovil, al final de cada recorrido suele haber un sendero para transitar a pie, el cual lleva a lugares tan bellos como el de esta foto, llamado "La Glorieta". Lleva ese nombre porque la arboleda cubre un pequeño salto en el río formando una espectacular y fresca glorieta natural.
Argentina didn't get to be the second-largest country in South America overnight. Archaeological remains found here date to some 9,000 years BC, left by the ancient Mesoamerican civilization. Early inhabitants were nomads and hunters who followed prehistoric horses and llamas. By the year 1480 AD the Incan empire had stretched to reach northern Argentina and the stage was set for contact.The Europeans came in 1516 with Spanish explorer Juan Diaz do Solis, who claimed the area for Spain and tried to export a river of silver back to Europe. Wealth grew along with the cattle industry and after Napoleon conquered Spain, Argentina declared its independence and set up their own government. That was 1810 AD.Argentina stayed neutral in WWI and for most of WWII, declaring war on the Axis powers only in 1945. Following the war, the country entered into a long chain of military dictatorships with only brief forays into constitutional government. The current president is Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who's been in office since December 2007.Argentina is known for many things but the top of the list belongs to only two -- steak and the tango. Cattle graze on the abundant grasslands and produce some of the best beef in the world. The climate is well-suited for vineyards as well, and Argentina's wines make a fine companion to their steak.As for the tango, it has recently exploded to become a world famous dance with hotspots in every major city on the planet. It started in Buenos Aires in the middle of the nineteenth century, as the city was filling up with a mixture of European immigrants and porteños, people who were born in the port city. They melded their cultures of rhythm and harmony and came up with the tango, which has been described as the ultimate evolution of partnered dancing. And it's a great way to burn off your steak stupor. Food coma begone!Text by Steve Smith.

Grandma made this double wedding ring quilt for me in 1978 for me to have when I got married. At that time I was far from old enough to get married but definitely old enough to love and appreciate this quilt and recognize the sentimental value it would hold one day. That day is here. I have finally retired this quilt from being used on our bed. It is getting a little worn and frayed and I want to protect it from any further damage.
Grandma never made binding for her quilts. She always just folded the backing over from the back to the front and sewed it down. I've often wanted to make my binding the same way but I see now that it just doesn't hold up well after years of use if it is made that way.
Being a lover of white backgrounds I am so happy this quilt has white in it. Thank you Grandma!
The backing is a sheet with some sort of Holly Hobbie looking doll printed on it. Grandma used sheets as backing fabric almost exclusively.

Contractor accused of home improvement ripoffs in Monroeville, Polish Hill
John Levkulich charged with theft, home improvement fraud
A contractor is accused of accepting more than $60,000 for a pair of construction projects in Monroeville and Polish Hill without finishing the agreed-on work, the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office said.
John Levkulich surrendered Wednesday for arraignment in Monroeville on felony charges of theft, home improvement fraud and deceptive or fraudulent business practices. The 51-year-old Marshall Township man was released on his own recognizance and is awaiting a preliminary hearing on July 9.
According to the criminal complaint, a man made an up-front payment of $15,000 to remodel the basement of his Thomas Street home in Monroeville. Work began, and the homeowner made more payments totaling $14,500, but Levkulich stopped coming to work and the man was unable to find him to finish the job, the complaint said.
A similar situation allegedly occurred on Brereton Street in Polish Hill, where a man said he paid $45,000 for a home remodeling project that Levkulich worked on sporadically for several months but never completed, according to the criminal complaint.
In each case, a new contractor was hired and had to redo the work that had been done by Levkulich, the complaint said.
A professional assessment by another contractor found "almost identical" circumstances on both projects, with workmanship that was "poor in quality" and not up to basic code requirements, according to the criminal complaint.
Losses were estimated at $40,000 in the Polish Hill job and $22,500 in the Monroeville job, the complaint said.

Heat generated through everyday activities in one urban setting can affect the jet stream and other atmospheric systems, according to a new study in which the National Center for Atmospheric Research was a participant.
Extra "waste heat," as it is termed in the study, generated by buildings, cars and other sources in major Northern Hemisphere urban centers can cause winter warming across large areas of North America and northern Asia, researchers found.
However, the study shows, changes to atmospheric circulation caused by waste heat also cools areas of Europe by as much as 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, with much of that cooling coming in the fall.
The net effect on global mean temperatures is almost negligible, amounting to an average increase of just about 0.02 degrees Fahrenheit. That is because the total waste heat attributed to humans' activity represents only about 0.3 percent of the heat that is transported across high latitudes through oceanic and atmospheric circulations.
"The burning of fossil fuel not only emits greenhouse gases but also directly affects temperatures because of heat that escapes from sources like buildings and cars," NCAR scientist Aixue Hu, a co-author of the study, said in a news release. "Although much of this waste is concentrated in large cities, it can change atmospheric patterns in a way that raises or lowers temperatures across considerable distances."
The study, also including the work of scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the University of California at San Diego, Florida State University, appears today in the journal Nature Climate Change. ___

Go Wild! 7 Recipes With Wilder, More Nutritious Herbs and Greens
Yesterday Cambria shared an interesting, slightly alarming New York Times article about the lack of nutrients in modern supermarket produce compared to their wilder, less domesticated ancestors. I'm choosing not to become depressed by this news and am focusing instead on the bright side: Fresh herbs, green onions and wilder greens like arugula are a great source of the nutrients bred out of many current produce varieties. Here are seven ways to eat these wildly nutritious, wildly tasty herbs and greens.
According to Jo Robinson, author of the article and the forthcoming book Eating on the Wild Side: The Missing Link to Optimum Health, greens like arugula and dandelions have not been domesticated for very long, so they closely resemble their wild ancestors, with more antioxidants than lettuce varieties like iceberg or romaine. Scallions are just as nutritious as wild onions, especially the green tops. And because fresh herbs like parsley, basil and cilantro are prized for their pungent flavors, they have not been tinkered with much over the years and still contain the phytonutrients missing from much of the modern produce sold in supermarkets.
So load up on herbs, wild greens and green onions this season — and try them in one of the recipes below!

"We use this microscope for all our histology needs, from H&E, to peroxidase immunohistochemistry, to immunofluorescence. It takes a little getting used to, but after you learn the ropes, setting up a program allows you to take images of sets of slides quickly. The program for IF will remind you to change the filter to the right wavelength for the color you want to see, and will automatically control the shutter to minimize exposure time of your samples. For H&E, the color correction and white balance allows for publication-quality images to be acquired without any need for color correction in another program. The service rep from Zeiss has been to the lab several times, to help us train new users and bring us a filter to demo before we bought it. So far, this seems like a pretty good value for the money, from a trusted name in microscopy."

Lasting supper: Alice Camille on Jesus as the Bread of Life
Fruit of the vine and work of human hands, a meal shared in communion with a friend becomes for us the bread of life.
"How much do you want to know?" The question I asked my good friend was hardly casual. Dale and I were sitting in a hospital room, and he was in bad shape.
Eighteen days earlier I had gotten a call that an exploratory biopsy for a tumor on his brain had gone awry. The doctors had called Dale's brother first, but evidently he was out of town. Several phone calls down the line, the registrar at the seminary where we both worked was contacted, and she called me, since we were all friends.
When we first saw Dale, he was still in intensive care, unable to speak because of the hemorrhage caused by the biopsy. It was clear even then that the precipitated stroke had paralyzed his whole left side. He wasn't going to walk. He might not speak. Whether his memory was affected would not be known right away.
Several weeks later, Dale was moved to the rehab wing of the hospital. Now he could sit up, feed himself, and speak in phrases curiously devoid of proper nouns, which seem to have been excised from his memory. It was so odd to talk with my educated friend and hear him use elegant phrases and then stop, flummoxed by a name that he had known so well. "That circle of rocks on the other side of the ocean," he would say with frustration.
"Stonehenge," I would supply. I had to supply my name too, even though we'd been friends for 15 years. Names were gone for good, apparently. We would learn to live without them. Still, Dale knew who I was, by any other name. He had chosen me to be his agent for power of attorney by pointing at the name on the spine of one of my books when the lawyer asked him to designate someone. Dale had carefully laid out the book earlier, knowing it was the only way he could remember my name.
And finally invested with power of attorney, I had been able to obtain a copy of Dale's pathology report from the surgeon and had a discussion of his prognosis with her. Dale knew I had just come from that meeting, laden with the facts. But though I had sat with him for an hour, he hadn't asked about it, chatting about physical therapy and other rehab scuttlebutt instead. So finally I broached the subject as carefully as I could: "How much do you want to know?"
Dale looked away. I had never seen my friend frightened before. He was older than me, having celebrated his 63rd birthday just before he entered the hospital for what he had hoped would be a false alarm; I was just approaching 40.
Dale had lived his years with a gusto beyond anything I was capable of. He spoke seven languages, had traveled all over the world, was a scholar, athlete, sculptor, and poet. But now I saw his fear, and I shivered with the terrible knowledge that was in me.
Finally, he cleared his throat and said, "I need to have hope."
"We are people of hope," I confirmed, though I knew we intended different things by that word. And so I told him about the cancer and about the treatments being proposed, what the insurance covered and what decisions needed to be made at once.
I did not tell him that the surgeon cried when she told me how nice a patient Dale had been right up to the time of the surgery, and how she was still wiping her eyes when she told me, "Five months, if he does not respond to the treatment. Eighteen months at the outside, if he does. I'm sorry. His prognosis is very poor."
I said to Dale, "Your surgeon thinks very highly of you." His face brightened. "I thought she was wonderful."
Later that day, we arranged for him to receive the Sacrament of the Sick.
Into every lifetime comes the hour of crisis, and part of the definition of crisis is that we have little time to prepare for the emergency thrust upon us. Theologians sometimes discuss crisis as a "limit experience," the sharp sense of our mortality that we run into like a brick wall in moments of powerlessness, personal loss, sickness, disability, or a general feeling of being cornered arising from a lack of options. Our dying is the ultimate limit experience, of course, but many little deaths precede the inevitable one, and in each we get a bitter foretaste of what our humanity fundamentally implies. Being mortal means we die. Built-in obsolescence is part of the deal.
Jesus reached his limit--his "hour" as he called it--after his entry into Jerusalem, but the season of crisis began for him much earlier, as early as Chapter 6 in the Gospel of John. This extraordinary chapter is so important for understanding the whole gospel that the church proclaims John 6 in its entirety over five weeks of Sundays this summer. This cycle of readings, repeated every third year, is sometimes referred to as the Bread of Life discourse, and it can be challenging for preachers. Imagine supplying five different homilies in a row about Jesus and bread, starting with the story of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes, and proceeding through Jesus' revelation: "I am the bread of Life."
John 6 can cause a bit of a crisis for the preacher (and sometimes for the sorely tested assembly) but that's not why it's known as the chapter of crisis. It's here that Jesus lays discipleship on the line and forces the hour of decision: Are you with me or not? Many will turn away from him and go home at the end of this teaching. "This saying is hard," they mumble on their way out. "Who can accept it?"
Jesus, realizing that his ministry has turned the corner from being a success by worldly standards to being notorious by all but heavenly ones, puts the question directly to his disciples, "Do you also want to leave?"
Peter answers for the rest: "To whom shall we go?" If life is to be had in the company of Jesus, there is no place else for those who seek life to be found.
So Dale and I, fortified by the sacrament of the sick, moved from crisis to crisis over the next few months. Weeks of radiation therapy diminished the gains he had made in physical therapy, and he lost weight and appetite. The will to live itself seemed to wane.
When it came time to move him from the medical facility back to his home at last, it seemed that he was going home simply to die. We got him a wheelchair, had a hospital bed delivered to his address, and gathered up an assortment of medications from the pharmacy. How strange that this was now Dale's life, when a few short months ago he had been the most agile person of my acquaintance.
The results came back from the lab in due time, and there was some good news. The tumor growth was arrested, temporarily. But before long a new cancer site was found. And Dale and I reached a new season of truth-telling.
"Am I going to die?" he asked me frankly that day. He was lying on his adjustable bed, which was set up in the parlor so he could feel more a part of life going on all around him.
There is no easy way to say that to someone you love. I took his hand, as his eyes filled with tears and his mouth opened in a silent sob. For a moment we cried together. Then Dale grew angry.
"I need more time! I have things to do!" he insisted.
"What things?"
He motioned toward his shelves, and I pulled out the notebook he was indicating. Dale kept notebooks for everything: quotable quotes he read, poems he wrote, dreams he had. This one was a notebook of lists. He brushed through several pages and showed me one entitled, "Life Goals."
Sure enough, Dale had a list of his goals, including many he had already completed, like learning languages and traveling to exotic places. But Dale was pointing at some others on the list that had yet to be accomplished: "Climb Mount Kili-manjaro." "Write book about Cairo." Even climbing stairs was out of the question now, and he could hardly write more than his name. "I need 20 more years!" he declared.
"You may only have one more," I said softly. "What do you want to do with it?"
Dale was struck speechless at the idea. "Right now, I want to be alone," he said. So I left the room.
In less than an hour, though, he rang the bell we had rigged by his bed so that I would know when he needed assistance. I came in guiltily, the messenger blaming herself for the contents of the message. Dale smiled at me with unusual vigor. "Can I have herb spaghetti for dinner?" he inquired.
His question surprised me, and not only because of the context. Dale had shown a sincere lack of interest in food since his illness. No matter what our excellent attendant prepared, he seemed unimpressed, though he had always been a self-professed "foodie." On free nights, when the attendant was off and a variety of friends cooked or brought food, Dale was even less hungry, though he toyed with the contents of his plate politely. Tonight was my night to cook, which was always bad news for Dale. "I don't know how to make herb spaghetti," I said.
"But I do," he assured me, and gestured for help to get out of bed. This was also unprecedented: Dale wanted to prepare supper! He got into his chair and wheeled himself into the kitchen, and together we prepared a marvelous dish of pasta and herbs, and set a lovely table and opened a bottle of wine. Dale was in high spirits, and we laughed and talked like old times, and for that whole evening I almost forgot how sick he was, how close to death.
My friend had looked over the edge of the precipice, faced his fear, and found his courage. Dying was still ahead, but the crisis, miraculously, was behind us.
It is no wonder that the call to rejoin life and accept its terms was expressed that night in a meal. It is a meal to which Jesus calls his followers, because eating is an affirmation of life. When Jesus broke bread to feed the multitude, and later offered himself as the food that would not perish, he was beckoning them from the precipice of death and inviting them to a life that has no end. "Whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst," he told them. But the crowds were still looking for loaves and fishes, and Jesus wasn't producing more of those.
They entered into a crisis of faith in this prophet, who called himself the living bread from heaven, comparing himself with the manna that sustained their ancestors in the desert. They wanted so much less than what he offered, just enough to get by until payday really, not this eternal life he talked about.
"I am the bread of life," Jesus assured them. The crowds wanted the kind of bread and the kind of life they could understand. They had plans, and they wanted assurances that Jesus was going to meet their agenda.
"Thank you for a wonderful day," Dale said to me, wreathed in smiles, on the night I told him he was dying. It was a wonderful day, one of the best I've had. To my dying day, I'll hope to have more of those.

CAMBRIDGE, UK– Apr. 14, 2008 – ARM [(LSE:ARM); (Nasdaq:ARMH)] today announced at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC), San Jose, California, a significant upgrade to the widely-licensed Cortex™-M3 processor which is utilized in a wide range of high-performance, low-cost applications. . The latest release includes a new Wake-Up Interrupt (WIC) controller which allows almost instantaneous return to fully active mode from an Ultra-Low Leakage (ULL) retention state and introduces enhanced power management features that address the ongoing need in the embedded market for increased performance and longer battery life in next-generation designs. The Cortex-M3 processor is now also supported by the ARM® Power Management Kit™ (PMK) and is tightly integrated with, and optimized for, low-power physical IP standard cell libraries and memories from the ARM Artisan® physical IP family. Additional enhancements include the ability to integrate solutions for safety-critical and fault-robust applications in industrial, medical, and automotive applications.
To enable ultra low-power standby operation, the processor has a new integrated Wake-Up Interrupt Controller that, when utilized with low-power cells such as the ARM Power Management Kit (PMK) and standard cell libraries and memories, enables the core and the interrupt controller to be rapidly placed in an ultra-low leakage retention mode, returning to fully active mode almost instantaneously on critical events. When combined with Partners' unique insight into power-efficient design techniques, the WIC will lead to a new wave of extremely power-efficient microcontroller solutions.
By combining the ARM PMK, memories and standard cell libraries with the Cortex-M3 processor, Partners can also gain significant time-to-market savings when targeting ultra-low leakage manufacturing processes for major power-saving benefits with very low area impact. The Physical IP memories feature byte-write capability and allow multiple power-down (with retention) modes when coupled to the PMK.
"This release builds upon the strong reputation of the Cortex-M3 processor and stands as a testament to ARM's continued innovation and commitment within the global MCU market," said Eric Schorn, VP Marketing, Processor Division, ARM. "Many ARM Partners have built extremely successful products using the Cortex-M3 processor and our latest release with integrated ARM physical IP, will help users achieve even better levels of performance, power and cost savings."
The Cortex-M3 processor has received industry-wide support as demonstrated by the adoption of the technology by some of our leading Partners:
The advanced low-power functionality of the enhanced feature set of the Cortex-M3 processor has been recognized by Energy Micro, the Oslo based semiconductor start-up which recently signed a license agreement with ARM. "Energy Micro's mission is to make the world's most energy friendly microcontrollers and this enhanced Cortex-M3 processor will enable us to fulfill this mission," says Geir Førre, CEO of Energy Micro. "The EnergetIC™ microcontroller family from Energy Micro will have energy consumption at a level that is far below today's solutions, thus enabling significant improvements in battery life, and longer lifetime of electronic products."
"We welcome the additional low-power features and configurability provided by the new Cortex-M3 processor release," said Jean Anne Booth, CMO of Luminary Micro. "Luminary Micro already ships the largest line card of ARM technology-based microcontrollers in the market and these new capabilities will enable us to further extend the reach of our award-winning Stellaris family of microcontrollers in our next-generation products." In recognition of their achievements in the microcontroller market, Luminary Micro was recently awarded the 2008 Global Frost & Sullivan Entrepreneurial Company Award.
"NXP continues to strengthen its line of microcontroller solutions for end products in the consumer, industrial, medical and automotive markets," said Geoff Lees, vice president and general manager, microcontroller product line at NXP Semiconductors. "As 32-bit microcontroller technology continues to advance, NXP looks forward to
combining its market-leading low-power technologies with the new WIC functionality of the Cortex-M3 processor to further extend its reach into the low-power handheld, metering and medical application spaces."
"In June 2007, we launched the now famous Cortex-M3 processor-based STM32 family, recognized as the best ever microcontroller concept addressing the convergence of 16-bit and 32-bit market needs," said Jim Nicholas, general manager of the Microcontroller Division at ST Micro. "One significant success factor of the STM32 family has been our outstanding low-power implementation, which has set the new benchmark for power consumption in this area. Integrating the new release of the Cortex-M3 processor will extend the market leadership of the STM32 family further."
In addition to the lower-power benefits, the Cortex-M3 processor can now boast a path to IEC61508 standard SIL3 certification, enabling its use in a variety of safety-critical applications in automotive, medical and military markets where Fault Robustness is essential. "Future automotive embedded systems demand increasing levels of performance without compromising the system integrity and safety," said Yutaka Murao, senior fellow of Toshiba Semiconductor Company. "Products based on the latest release of the Cortex-M3 processor can now be combined with specific system level fault tolerance components to meet these demands."
"The new release of the Cortex-M3 processor delivers an excellent, and proven, path for devices to achieve SIL3 certification when implemented in partnership with the FMEA methodology and IP developed by Yogitech," said Silvano Motto, CEO Yogitech. "This solution delivers the exceptional fault robust behaviour required by the IEC61508 standard while minimizing area cost overhead and adding key benefits at system level."
Other new benefits of the latest release of the Cortex-M3 processor include:
Enhanced support features for the Cortex-M3 processor will be available in Q2 2008.

SACRAMENTO – State and federal authorities announced the largest-ever Medi-Cal overpayment settlement today, recouping $327 million after a Long Beach-based HMO drew excess payments for years.
The SCAN Health Plan, which provides care to 127,000 Medicare Advantage clients in California, settled claims that it was overpaid and did not provide required financial documents to the state's Department of Health Care Services, limiting reviewers' ability to notice irregularities.
An audit by the state controller's office revealed the overpayments, setting off a state and federal Department of Justice investigation. California Watch reported in April that SCAN was poised to repay $125 million to the state to settle the matter.
U.S. Department of Justice authorities notified SCAN earlier this month that after an in-depth investigation, it found no evidence that SCAN knew the payments it received exceeded a legal cap. A spokesman for SCAN said the organization repaid the funds voluntarily.
In a statement, Toby Douglas, director of the Department of Health Care Services, said recouping the funds is a victory for Medi-Cal beneficiaries.
"Using the scarce resources available in the most efficient way possible is a top priority for the state," Douglas said. "We will continue our ongoing efforts to strengthen programs that protect the integrity of Medi-Cal."
SCAN continues to serve about 8,000 Medi-Cal patients who live in Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
The case also included the settlement of a whistleblower lawsuit filed by a former SCAN employee who alleged that SCAN improperly inflated Medicare Advantage patient "risk scores" to indicate that patients are sicker, drawing more reimbursement. SCAN also admitted no wrongdoing in that case.

In the past, Jos. A. Bank was known as a suit store. Today the clothier is moving toward business casual & weekend wear.
Jos. A. Bank Clothiers, menswear specialists for nearly a century, is going casual — business casual. But not to worry. The Hampstead, Md.-based retailer will still carry its distinctive lines of suits and dress clothing, but will add a corporate casual component to the mix.
Studies have revealed business casual attire in the workplace is having a dramatic effect on men's wardrobes. With dress-down Fridays and the re-emergence of the sport coat, Jos. A. Bank realized it would need to change its strategy. The 96-year-old merchant intends to strengthen its presence in the market by opening between 70 and 100 newly inspired stores by the end of fiscal 2003. "We plan to double our size in four years," explains Robert Hensley, executive vice president of operations.
Jos. A. Bank currently has 117 stores (10 are franchised, with no plans to expand franchising) from coast to coast. Plans developed with Chicago-based Arthur Andersen and Columbus, Ohio-based design firm Retail Planning Associates (RPA) will come to fruition in March with the opening of the retailer's prototype store in Charlottesville, Va.
The concept of corporate casual clothing is a major influence on the design of the next-generation stores. "RPA quizzed us thoroughly and the design group determined a more visual presence was needed," says Hensley.
The new Jos. A. Bank look features glass storefronts and trademark glass doors. Inside, the customer finds 12-ft. hardwood ceilings and hardwood floors that set the stage for upscale business casual wear. The fine, tailored suits on which the retailer built its reputation are displayed at the back in a quieter setting. Ten foot dropped ceilings with crown molding and multi-shade moss green carpeting compliment this area. The curved design on the ceiling and floor gently segues the customer from informal to traditional business attire.
"The prototype store is 5,000 sq. ft. — that's slightly larger than the current average store size," Hensley says. The clothier will be adding luggage, casual shoes and weekend wear to its new stores in addition to business wear, formal wear and underwear.
"I want our new sites to have a signature look to them," says Jos. A.Bank CEO Robert Wildrick. And they will. Pickled oak fixtures, a large logo wall at the rear of the store and a distinctive center will surprise longtime customers. Lighting throughout the new stores will be 30% brighter than in existing facilities, which offer darker, cherrywood fixtures and islands of clothing throughout. "Our goal is a clean, simple, bright environment that focuses solely on the merchandise," says Hensley.
New stores can be found in three settings: lifestyle centers, "A" malls and vibrant streetfront centers, says Hensley. The clothier likes to share centers with co-tenants such as Talbots, Williams-Sonoma, AnnTaylor, Pottery Barn, Chico's and Restoration Hardware. "They create the right shopping environment, usually attracting couples," says Hensley. "While the wife goes in one store, the husband can stop in a Jos. A. Bank and purchase what he needs."

December 26, 1984
To: All Managers and Department Chairs
From: President Gail Fullerton
Subject: Implementation of Trustees' Resolution RA 9-83-057 (Plant Operation) and BA 84-25
During their meeting of September 20-21, 1983, the Board of Trustees of the California State University accepted an audit report on systemwide Plant Operations. Nine recommendations and the responses of the Chancellor were included within the report that led to Board resolution RA 9-83-057.
A systemwide advisory committee on Plant Operations was consulted and a series of implementing actions was identified. The audit recommendations, responses, and implementing actions are described in BA 84-25 (copy available on request).
After consultation, the following systemwide definition of what constitutes maintenance was developed and has now been implemented:
Within the California State University, maintenance work shall be defined as the work necessary to keep all state-owned facilities in good repair and operating condition. This work includes maintaining, operating, and repairing utility systems; e.g., electricity, water, gas, heat, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, sewage, and elevators. It also includes maintaining and repairing basic components of campus buildings and grounds: e.g., foundations, walls, roofs, stairs, ceilings, floor, floor covering, wall covering, doors, windows, hardware, turf, sidewalks, streets, and ancillary facilities or equipment. This definition specifically excludes new work and alterations: e.g., constructing and modifying buildings and grounds, providing decorative treatment to buildings and grounds, attaching items to buildings, extending or modifying utility systems. Also excluded in the definition is repairing, fabricating, modifying, adapting or installing other than Group I equipment. (Emphasis added.)
Trustee Resolution RA 9-83-057 also requires the development of chargeback systems for services other than routine maintenance performed by Plant Operations. After consultation, a systemwide position on chargebacks for non-maintenance services performed by Plant Operations has been developed, as follows: (BA 84-25)
Each campus will develop a chargeback system. . . . The campus policy and procedures must ensure return of all direct labor and material costs, and costs for contracted services, to the Plant Operations budget. Additionally, the policy should include reimbursement for overhead or indirect costs. These latter costs include reimbursements for administrative processing, estimating, supervision, equipment, vehicles, etc., and would normally be calculated and added as a percentage of total costs.
At a time when available resources are being reduced, the University is experiencing increased pressure to expand support of the maintenance, repair, and alteration needs of its facilities. A number of additional factors have combined with resource reduction to make less responsive the process be which these competing needs are addressed. They include an aging physical plant requiring maintenance to forestall major repairs, an operational budget declining in purchasing power, and a growing interest on the part of control agencies to scrutinize requests for expenditure.
These conditions and their effects on University operations are expected to continue. It is therefore necessary that the University's maintenance resources be efficiently used and that opportunities for additional funding to support repair and alteration projects be identified and pursued.
It is the purpose of this Presidential Directive to facilitate the attainment of these goals, in addition to implementing procedures required by Trustee Resolution RA 9-83-057 and the implementing directive from the Chancellor's Office, BA 84-25.
It will be the responsibility of Executive Vice President J. Handel Evans to implement this presidential directive, which is effective immediately.
- Basic Responsibility
Under the supervision of the Associate Executive Vice President for Facilities Development and Operations (Associate EVP-FDO), the Department of Plant Operations is responsible for the condition of the physical plant of San José State University. Therefore, any and all changes to the physical structure of any building must be performed by the Department of Plant Operations, or under the supervision of the Associate EVP-FDO.
- Condition of the physical plant. A primary requirement is that the Associate EVP-FDO and the Department of Plant Operations know the exact condition of the physical plant at all times. It is imperative that the Associate EVP-FDO be advised of any planned alteration of, or addition to, any structure or ground area. Whether the Department of Plant Operations renders the service or not, the Associate EVP-FDO must be informed of any planned work, whether it is as simple as putting up a shelf or as extensive as renovating a building.
- Utility connections. No connection may be made to any utility system (water, sewer, electrical, gas, or steam) either in or out of buildings except by Department of Plant Operations Personnel or licensed professionals under the surveillance of the Associate EVP-FDO.
- Inspection of all work plans. Inspection and approval of all work plans and completed work or compliance with statutory requirements and established policies are basic responsibilities of the Associate EVP-FDO.
- Service Categories
- Routine Maintenance Program. Routine maintenance of
facilities is the primary responsibility of ant Operations and
is funded through its annual support budget. These funds are
used to maintain the standard building shell and components.
Examples include: maintenance of elevators and other building
service facilities; custodial services; interior painting
specified in the regular painting cycle; servicing and
replacement of heating, ventilation, plumbing, electrical
fixtures, locks, keys, general bulletin boards and directories;
maintenance and repair of general classroom furniture; safety
programs related to physical characteristics of the building
(e.g., compliance with building codes); maintenance and repairs
to the University motorpool; landscape services.
As the physical plant ages, the importance of a sustained schedule of service has intensified and non-maintenance activities have assumed secondary priority. Plant Operations has established preventive maintenance programs that are designed to anticipate needs and to schedule services to facilities and systems before breakdowns occur or maintenance becomes critical. These services are funded by the support budget and carried out without cost to the school or division.
- Maintenance of specialized systems and equipment. Maintenance of equipment items and systems that are designed to support specific instructional programs is the responsibility of the various instructional technical support budgets and staffs. Examples of these include maintenance of fume hoods, autoclaves, ceramic kilns, refrigeration units, and electronic instructional equipment.
- Non-Routine Requests for Service. Procedures have been
developed within Plant Operations to accept work orders, to
determine their priority, and to notify the requesting office
of an estimated cost and completion schedule.
Service requests of this kind are rarely funded by the annual support budget. Depending on their scope, urgency, complexity, and the available personnel, they may be financed in a variety of ways. In all cases, when a non-routine service request is submitted, Plant Operations will consult with the requesting department or office to determine which method of funding is appropriate prior to beginning the work.
Note: The Budget Act, Section 6.0, limits all projects paid for from General Fund monies to a total of $10,000.00 for labor, materials, and other related expenditures. Within this limitation, funding possibilities for non-routine requests for service include:
- The requesting school or division provides appropriate funds to procure the materials necessary for the project. Labor is provided by Plant Operations. Requests funded in this manner are of limited scope, complexity, and magnitude, and do not have critical time lines.
- 2. The requesting school or division provides appropriate funds to procure materials and temporary help funds for necessary labor. This method of funding is appropriate for small or medium-sized projects of limited complexity where completion by a-specified date is critical.
- 3. The requesting school or division provides appropriate funds to procure materials and to fund a service agreement for the labor necessary to complete the project. Projects funded by this method would typically require technical skills and resources not available on campus.
- 4. The project is funded by minor capital outlay funds which have been obtained to contract both labor and materials. Minor capital outlay projects are discussed in more detail below.
- Routine Maintenance Program. Routine maintenance of facilities is the primary responsibility of ant Operations and is funded through its annual support budget. These funds are used to maintain the standard building shell and components. Examples include: maintenance of elevators and other building service facilities; custodial services; interior painting specified in the regular painting cycle; servicing and replacement of heating, ventilation, plumbing, electrical fixtures, locks, keys, general bulletin boards and directories; maintenance and repair of general classroom furniture; safety programs related to physical characteristics of the building (e.g., compliance with building codes); maintenance and repairs to the University motorpool; landscape services.
- Minor Capital Outlay Projects
To qualify for minor construction funding, the total cost of the project must be less than $100,000 and the project must be new construction or an alteration, extension, or improvement of an existing structure to accommodate a different function (e.g., classroom to laboratory) or to increase the utilization of the original function (e.g., increase the number of student stations).
Funds for minor capital outlay projects are provided in the annual budget from COPHEE funds, not from the General Fund. Minor construction projects are subject to review at both system and state levels and must be submitted thirteen months in advance of desired funding to the Associate EVP-FDO. Staff analysis will be provided for recommendation to the President on University priority for the proposed project.
- Special Repairs
Funds for routine maintenance come to the University as part of its formula driven budget; funds for major repairs of facilities are provided in the annual budget only for individual projects reviewed and approved in advance. These projects collectively comprise the Special Repair category of the CSU operations budget.
A special repair is defined as major repair which does not occur annually, the cost of which warrants a separate line item in the budget. Examples include painting the exterior of a building, replacing a roof, repair of a building fume hood system, and the repair of roadways and sidewalks.
Special repair requests are subject, to extensive system and state review; projects often exceed available funding. Success in obtaining approval depends upon early identification of potential projects and thoroughly developed project proposals. The schools and divisions of the University are encouraged to communicate through the deans or division directors their special repair needs. Campus requests are submitted to the Chancellor's Office thirteen months in advance of desired funding.
Special repair funds cannot be used in lieu of instructional equipment replacement funds.

An American woman living in Mexico was murdered and her adopted daughter, now missing, may be implicated in her death. The woman's body was found at her home in the central Mexico city of San Miguel de Allende.
The U.S. Embassy in Mexico lists the woman as Joyous Heart, but gives no information on her hometown.
Asked about the case, the prosecutors' office in northern Guanajuato said Thursday that the woman was found stabbed to death in her home on Feb. 1. Her throat was slashed.
The prosecutors' statement did not name the victim, but gave a case file number that matched descriptions in local press reports of Heart's killing.
San Miguel de Allende is a colonial city located in Guanajuato state and is popular with American tourists and expats.
According to the newspaper Correo's website, the woman, whose body was found last Friday night, had 40 stab wounds. They added that the adopted daughter of the woman is missing.
Neighbors said the two fought often.
The woman was the owner of the house and rented spaces to two other people.
The renters said there had been an altercation between Heart and her daughter. The daughter had not been seen since she left the property, which the renters said was odd.
The paper also says the daughter was not at the site and was adopted four years ago, when she was 14, and is diagnosed with severe schizophrenia.

PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) — That wasn't so tough. With former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell leading the way, Pinehurst No. 2 gave up more birdies than expected Thursday.
Taking advantage of a thick cloud cover that greeted the morning starters, McDowell shot a 2-under 68 and was tied for the lead with Kevin Na.
Six other players, including 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, opened with 69s on the Donald Ross masterpiece that has undergone a drastic makeover to restore its rustic look, with patches of natural vegetation — better known as weeds — taking the place of thick, lush rough.
PHOTOS: Best shots from Round One of the U.S. Open at Pinehurst
Phil Mickelson got off to a strong start as well in his bid for the career Grand Slam, attacking the course with deft iron shots on the way to shooting 70.
McDowell, who won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in 2010, was as steady as can be in the sand hills of North Carolina. The Northern Irishman bounced back from his only bogey at No. 4 with an eagle-3 at the par-five fifth hole. He added another birdie at the 14th and the rest of his card was filled in with pars, just the sort of solid, mistake-free golf that is required at a major championship won the last two years with above-par scores.
"You don't have to strike it amazing around here," McDowell said. "You just have to position the ball correctly at all times."
Na also made an eagle at No. 5 on the way to the best Open round of his career. He missed the cut in both 2010 and 2011, and finished 9 over at his last Open two years ago.
"There was some moisture on the greens and you were able to hold shots," Na said. "I was able to capitalize on a good tee time. But there's a long way to go. Obviously, I'm 2-under par right now, but at the end of the tournament even par is going to win this championship."
The blistering sun peaked through the clouds and the temperature climbed to 90 by mid-afternoon, making things tougher on the late starters. Still, there were plenty of low scores to be had.
Brooks Koepka birdied three of the first five holes and made the turn with a 33. J.B. Holmes, Keegan Bradley, Martin Kaymer and Paul Casey also were at 2-under, while Dustin Johnson was among the group another shot back.
The world's top-ranked golfer, Adam Scott, was even as he approached the turn. But Masters champion Bubba Watson was spraying shots all over the place, leaving him with three bogeys through the first seven holes.
At one point, more than a third of the field — 53 of 156 players — were at par or better.
Spieth was in the thick of things again, making four birdies to put himself in contention at another major championship. He was tied for the lead heading to the final round of both the Masters and The Players Championship, but couldn't close out either on Sunday. It seems just a matter of time before the young Texan claims a career-defining triumph.
Maybe it will be at Pinehurst.
"I had a lot of fun today. You don't normally say that at the U.S. Open," Spieth said. "I was able to get into the flow early, and able to keep it going. One-under — I would take that four times."
Matt Kuchar, who has never won a major title, shot 3-under 32 on the front side but a shaky finish knocked him out of the lead. He bogeyed the 16th and 17th before his par putt at the final hole tumbled into the cup on its last turn, bringing out a smile as he headed toward the clubhouse with a 69.
Also at 69 were Brandt Snedeker, Brendon Todd, Sweden's Henrik Stenson and Japan's Hideki Matsuyama.
Snedeker made Pinehurst look like the local muni on the front side, making the turn with a 31. The course bit back on the back side; Snedeker bogeyed the 10th, took a double-bogey at No. 11, and fell back to even par on the day with another bogey at the 12th. Snedeker pulled it together, sinking a couple birdies coming back to the clubhouse to put himself solidly in contention for his first major title.
Mickelson already has five majors, but this is the one he wants more than any other. Lefty has been the runner-up a record six times in this event, denying him the only big title missing from his resume. He's changed his grip to deal with a shaky putter, hoping that would help bring his first victory since capturing the British Open last July.
"This is a golf course where I get similar feeling to Augusta," Mickelson said. "You don't have to be perfect. You always have a chance. It is challenging. There are difficult shots. But they're manageable."
In recent weeks, Mickelson has been linked to an insider trading investigation. Clearly, he was able to stay focused on the course.
"I haven't done anything wrong," he said. "I'm willing to help out and would love to help out any way I can with the investigation."
Rory McIlroy, who won the 2011 U.S. Open in a rout at Congressional, opened with a 71.
Defending champion Justin Rose, who held off Mickelson a year ago at Merion, shot 72. There hasn't been a repeat winner in this championship since Curtis Strange in 1988-89.

The official Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3 live action trailer featuring Sam Worthington, Jonah Hill and Dwight Howard. Whether you're a veteran of Call of Duty or a n00b just starting out, there is a soldier in all of us.
Best trailer ive ever seen in a while.
The trailer clearly shows what COD is all about.
This trailer encapsulates why Call of Duty is so great. It doesn't take itself too seriously and concentrates on providing a fun experience. Sure, it may not be realistic and it may not have as many dust particles as Battlefield 3, but at the end of the day that doesn't matter. Call of Duty is good at what it does.
