Changing Live Video Modes with OMAPDSS
The OMAP documentation has plenty of information on how to configure a desired video mode at boot by way of kernel boot parameters. See http://gitorious.org/linux-omap-dss2/linux/blobs/master/Documentation/arm/OMAP/DSS
Recently I was tasked with implementing a method of dynamically changing video mode timings without rebooting the system. Additionally the system is very bare-bones, consisting of essentially sysvinit, sysfs and Qt/Embedded. Size requirements dictated the absence of fbset and other nice applications in the rootfs, so a more direct route to changing the video timings was needed.
The embedded system uses a TFT LCD screen that requires a particular timing video pattern. These timings are non-VESA, meaning that while the video stream will be properly parsed by the TFT's processor, there can be no expectation for the video stream to be parsed by any other VGA device.
The timings required for the TFT (640x480M-32@60) are:
The timings for VESA compliance (640×480-32@60) are:
These timings are relatively close, but different enough that distortion would appear on the opposite device. The TFT screen will show scattered lines and garbling when using the VESA-compliant timings. VGA devices would show an assortment of results when using the TFT timings, including fully functional, entirely non-functional, screen clipping, screen shifting, and distortion.
My solution was to allow our sales staff a key sequence to directly modify the timings held in the display0 entry found at /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display0 entry. The device would boot with the TFT timings, and on a key-press, would switch to the VESA-timings. The idea is that the sales staff can switch to "projector" mode when training, allowing the audience to see a clean image at the cost of slight distortion on the handheld display.
The basic approach was the following:
# Change to TFT timings
echo "23750,640/80/16/64,480/3/13/4" > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display0/timings
# Change to VESA timings
echo "25175,640/40/24/96,480/32/11/2" > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display0/timings
Designing with Gumstix Overo: SYSEN floating is a major flaw (boot failure)
I designed my first embedded system that uses a Gumstix Overo FE COM for my employer about 11 months ago. The prototype circuit passed all functional tests and my PCB layout kept clean signal isolation and near-ideal power integrity (no ground/power ripples). The Gumstix Overo was easy to interface with and aside from learning how to configure X-Load and U-Boot to properly set the OMAP pin MUXs for the various system functions, use of the module was problem-free.
The system I designed for my employer is essentially a tablet computer that is dedicated to running an analysis application that receives and processes the output of a Photon Detector. The Photon Detector interfaced to the Overo via a UART link.
During bench testing I encountered only one unresolved ambiguity. This ambiguity was an Overo Fire whose NAND chip became irreversibly corrupted at the memory location read for U-Boot's default environmental configuration. Since my employer wished to keep the entire system software on an MMC card, and since the system was executing U-Boot from the MMC storage anyway, I modified the U-Boot source to read the default configuration from a local configuration file instead of touching the NAND. That broken Gumstix became usable after the hack and the problem has not been seen again on any system. I have not been able to replicate the error that caused only that area of the one Overo's NAND memory to become corrupted.
So after bench validation, a unit was placed into the hands of a technician for field testing. All was well for about 4 months when I'm contacted by the technician with word that the system is no longer booting. We replaced the unit and I set about determining the root cause for how and why the system broke.
The mode of failure is describable as "failure to boot". The Gumstix Overo had a single green LED lit (middle of row of three) when power was applied, but no other LEDs lit (in particular the blue LED on the right did not light). The three inductors on the top of the Overo had voltages matching a working Overo (L1: +1.211V, L2: +1.201V, L3: +1.801V). The serial console would chirp the following characters out the console serial line during boot "@É ¼c".
Reading chapter 29 (Initialization) of the 35xx OMAP Technical Reference Manual (linked at bottom) indicates that the broken piece is somewhere in the Stage 1 boot of the initialization sequence. In this Stage, the OMAP CPU copies the boot code from static ROM to the RAM. The chirps on the console serial line are a boot location request by the OMAP. Properly configured, the OMAP checks the MMC and NAND modules for bootability before checking the UART(s). The fact that the OMAP was failing to check the NAND or MMC modules, but seems to check the UART indicates that there is a mis-configuration or wide-spread sub-system failure.
Regardless of how/if the ROM became corrupted, the Overo was not reaching X-Load in the NAND or the MMC card.
The cause of the problem was found to be the support circuitry initializing before the Overo's OMAP CPU fully initialized. In particular, the level shifters (used to interface the +3.3V logic of external systems to the +1.8V logic of the Overo) were immediately in Operating mode after Power-On. The OMAP on the Overo module, however, waits for the PMIC to initialize before beginning its initialization sequence. This allowed the level shifters to pass signals to the OMAP before it was ready.
My design included the external UART serial communication from the Photon Detector. This UART line was allowed to reach the OMAP CPU pins before the chip was initialized. All other interfaces used in this design were slaves to the OMAP and would not otherwise toggle the OMAP pins without communication from the OMAP (implying the OMAP had initialized at that point). The Photon Detector sends "am-alive" pulses every 500ms.
The timing of the Photon Detector initializing and the timing of the Overo initializing had never overlapped enough to expose this flaw in bench testing. It took one occasion during field testing where the photon detector initialized extra-fast and the Overo extra-slow to create the "system not booting" problem. This occurred when the "am-alive" pulse hit the Overo during the Overo's initialization process.
The solution to is to couple all in-bound signal interfaces to the SYSEN signal provided on the Overo's J1 connector (pin 59). This signal pulls Low when the OMAP is ready to go. Do not pull High any I/O line directly attached to the Overo prior to the signal of SYSEN.
Some very useful information sources for debugging this problem:
The OMAP 35xx Technical Reference Manual strongly discourages letting this happen (http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spruf98u/spruf98u.pdf).
The Gumstix Signals Document lists the pins and implies their uses (http://www.gumstix.org/images/overo_signals_latest.pdf)
Configuring gdm-2.30 for Autologin using serial console
Once you've logged into a display manager, it's usually easy to find the relevant applet or GUI tool to configure an automatic login procedure. This article discusses how to configure GDM for autologin when using a serial console (that is, while not in the graphical environment).
GDM is the GNOME Display Manager. Of particular value to configuring GDM is the GNOME Display Manager Reference Manual.
The correct way to configure GDM for an automatic login is to create/modify a /etc/gdm/custom.conf file. As detailed in reference manual section 5.4 (Daemon Configuration): The file /etc/gdm/custom.conf supports the "[daemon]", "[security]", and "[xdmcp]" group sections. If you are creating the file entirely new, this is what it needs to contain (xxxxxxx is the account to log into):
After you modify/create this file, a restart of GDM should result in an automatic login of the specified account. A system-wide reboot will restart GDM, or you could use "/etc/init.d/gdm restart" or maybe even "restart gdm", depending on how your system is configured.
A less-correct way to set those daemon configuration variables is to directly modify the /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas file. This file outlines an XML schema for the configuration of GDM. Search for the relevant variable names (AutomaticLoginEnable and AutomaticLogin) and change the
Embedded Linux: Changing TFT-LCD screens
A general approach to changing TFT-LCD screens is documented here. The platform for this posting is OMAP3 (gumstix overo and beagleboard -xm).
The OMAP2/3 Display Sub-System is nicely documented in this dev repository.
A common method for configuring omapfb is to pass the configuration parameters as boot arguments when the linux kernel is initialized.
You can find this list in the development repository at the top of this post.
This is a listing of the configuration parameters for omapfb.
- Amount of total VRAM to preallocate. For example, "10M".
- Default video mode for default display. For example, "dvi:800x400MR-24@60". See drivers/video/modedb.c
- VRAM allocated for each framebuffer. Normally omapfb allocates vram
depending on the display size. With this you can manually allocate
more. For example "4M,3M" allocates 4M for fb0, 3M for fb1.
- Enable debug printing. You have to have OMAPFB debug support enabled
in kernel config.
- Name of default display, to which all overlays will be connected.
Common examples are "lcd" or "tv".
- Enable debug printing. You have to have DSS debug support enabled in
kernel config.
The kernel bootloader must be modified by adding these variables to the boot arguments. If you already have a working omapfb framebuffer, then most likely these variables are already being set to non-configured values.
If you are using the U-boot bootloader (found here) then it is a simple task to modify the bootargs variable. There is a pretty good writeup by Texas Instruments detailing how to modify U-boot (found here).
My bootargs line reads:
console=ttyS2,115200n8 mpurate=500 vram=12M omapfb.mode=dvi:640x480@60 omapdss.def_disp=dvi root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootfstype=ext3 rootwait
So you've configured omapfb and your embedded linux system is outputting a LCD signal suitable for driving a TFT-LCD panel. If the image is distorted, a possible cause is that your particular panel is not supported by the display device driver you chose to use.
The Linux Kernel has drivers. Some of these drivers were written to support TFT-LCD screen devices.
I'd suggest finding the datasheet for the new panel. Find the timing value ranges for the pixel clock, the vertical sync pulses, the horizontal sync pulses, the "front" and "back" porches, and the data enable signals.
Here is an example set of specifications (taken from the datasheet for an NEC NL6448AC33)
Find the source code for the display device driver you are using. The display device driver was selected when the "omap_dss.def_disp" and "omapfb.mode" bootargs variables were set. The various text strings used to configure that option (example, "tv", "dvi", "lcd") are mapped to a device driver in the board file used to configure the linux kernel. It is usually found in the /arch/ directory of the kernel source. For example: When configuring the linux kernel for a beagleboard, it is found at /arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-omap3beagle.c
Here are the mappings for "dvi" and "tv":
static struct omap_dss_device beagle_dvi_device = {
.type = OMAP_DISPLAY_TYPE_DPI,
.name = "dvi",
.driver_name = "generic_panel",
.phy.dpi.data_lines = 24,
.platform_enable = beagle_enable_dvi,
.platform_disable = beagle_disable_dvi,
static struct omap_dss_device beagle_tv_device = {
.name = "tv",
.driver_name = "venc",
.type = OMAP_DISPLAY_TYPE_VENC,
.phy.venc.type = OMAP_DSS_VENC_TYPE_SVIDEO,
.platform_enable = beagle_panel_enable_tv,
.platform_disable = beagle_panel_disable_tv,
The driver_name variable indicates the device driver that is being used. These are found in the /drivers/ directory of the linux kernel source. For example, the "panel-generic" driver linked to the "dvi" text can be found in /drivers/video/omap2/displays/panel-generic.c
The timings can be found near the top of this file:
static struct omap_video_timings generic_panel_timings = {
/* 640 x 480 @ 60 Hz Reduced blanking VESA CVT 0.31M3-R */
.x_res = 640,
.y_res = 480,
.pixel_clock = 23500,
.hfp = 48,
.hsw = 32,
.hbp = 80,
.vfp = 3,
.vsw = 4,
.vbp = 7,
Configuring these values to match those specified by your LCD panel should be a simple task from here. After that you can rebuild your kernel and hopefully enjoying a functional embedded display running on your new LCD.
If you need to do more than simply tune the timing values, I like to find kernel patches that modified something similar in the kernel for hints on where to look for the files I would need to modify. For the task of specifying a custom driver, here's the kernel patch that changed a set of arch board files to use generic device drivers instead of the old default drivers (found here).
Significant development for the display you're supporting can be submitted as a patch to the Linux Kernel Development Lists to possibly become part of the Linux Kernel and allow your work to benefit the Open-Source community.

Mr. K. Hopley,
Action Against Crime Unit,
Home Office,
50 Queen Anne's Gate,
London. SW1H 9AT
Dear Mr. Hopley,
Consultation Paper: Sentencing and Supervision of Sex Offenders
In our view the Home Office is right to take action to protect children from sexual abuse. However, the new proposals set out in Sentencing and Supervision of Sex Offenders mistakenly lump together consensual and coercive sexual offences, and those between adults and those involving children.
We believe the proposals should be restricted solely to people convicted of sexually abusing children, and should not penalise persons convicted of consensual sex with other adults or other young people of a similar age.
In accordance with the Indecency With Children Act 1960, we propose that the definition of a child should be a young person under the age of 14.
The requirement to register with the police, and other penalties outlined in Sentencing and Supervision of Sex Offenders, should exclude those convicted of consensual sex offences involving persons aged 14 or over, and those convicted of similarly victimless offences where both partners are under 14 and of roughly comparable ages.
We furthermore believe that those convicted of consensual offences involving one person over 14 and the other under 14 should also be excluded from these proposals, providing there were no more than three years difference in their ages (as in the case of mutually agreed sex between a 13 year old and a 15 year old).
Some young people under 14 knowingly and willingly sexually experiment with each other. They are not a threat to children and should not therefore be subject to the provisions set out in Sentencing and Supervision of Sex Offenders.
We particularly want the largely gay and consensual offences of buggery, indecency, soliciting and homosexual acts on merchant ships deleted from the index of offences in Annex A. Accordingly, we propose the removal of:
(1956 Sexual Offences Act)
* Section 12 – Buggery (or attempt to commit buggery)
* Section 13 – Indecency between men
* Section 32 – Solicitation by a man
(1967 Sexual Offences Act)
Section 2 – Homosexual acts on merchant ships.
There are plenty of other laws (apart from the four mentioned above) which can be used to protect young people against abusive, coercive and violent sexual exploitation, such as the Indecency With Children Act 1960, and the laws against rape, incest and indecent assault (under the Sexual Offences Act 1956).
There is no need, or justification, to punish the thousands of gay and bisexual men who have convictions for consensual sex with other adult males.
Our research, based on Home Office and police statistics, suggests that there were nearly 20,000 convictions for homosexual acts between consenting adults during the period 1980-89 (mostly for victimless cruising and cottaging).
In 1994 alone, about 500 gay and bisexual men were found guilty of offences which caused no harm and had no victims. All these men will now be required to notify the police of changes of address, as will many thousands more if these proposals are made indefinitely retrospective to cover anyone who has ever had a conviction for a sexual offence (a proposition we urge the Home Office to reject).
Under the Home Office proposals, the Bishop of Durham, Michael Turnbull, who was convicted of gross indecency with another man in a public toilet in 1968, would be required to inform the police of any change of address and alert them if he went away on a holiday or religious retreat lasting longer than four weeks. The idea that men like the Bishop are a threat to children is absurd.
It is a gross mistake to classify men involved in consenting sex with other adult males alongside child sex abusers, rapists and other harmful sex offenders. Most importantly, it will not help to protect children from unwanted sexual advances and molestation.
Yours sincerely,
Marina Cronin
OutRage! London
In March 1995, the then Bishop of London, Dr. David Hope, called an impromptu press conference where he announced that his sexuality was a "grey area". He claimed that he had been forced to make this announcement because he was being pressured and intimidated by Peter Tatchell of the gay rights group OutRage!, who had written to him in December 1994, urging him to be open and honest about his sexuality.
Later, however, a very different story emerged. In an April 1995 interview with the Sunday Times journalist, Lesley White, the Bishop of London admitted that he did not declare his sexuality in response to the OutRage! letter. He had, after all, received our letter two months prior to his decision to go public. What precipitated the Bishop's sudden coming out was an approach from Clifford Longley, the Religious Affairs correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. Dr. Hope says that Clifford Longley gave him the impression that he was going to be exposed by OutRage! In fact, we had no plans to out the Bishop of London. Dr. Hope was effectively bounced into coming out by a journalist who gave him false information.
If we had wanted to reveal Dr. Hope's sexuality, we would have done so last November at General Synod when we named the other 10 Bishops. We didn't out him because we felt that it would be far more effective if Dr. Hope could be persuaded to come out of his own free will.
The final straw for Dr. Hope was possibly an article in the Independent On Sunday on 12 March, the day before he publicly declared his sexuality. Entitled "Why Gays Are Called To The Church", this article by Andrew Brown referred to the large number of gay clergy in the London diocese. In the next sentence it cited the Bishop of London and his past rôle in running St Stephen's House, Oxford, which it described as "the campest of all theological colleges, where he was known as Ena the Cruel". The innuendo and insinuation was obvious. It seems the Bishop decided to jump before he was pushed.
The following extract from an article in the "Telegraph" dated 14-March-1995 by Clifford Longley and Ben Fenton serves to illustrate. —
Dr. David Hope said he had been "deeply distressed" by the group's activities and the apparent attempt by Mr. Peter Tatchell, a spokesman, to persuade him to admit to being homosexual.
He described the atmosphere that had oppressed him since Mr. Tatchell had suggested three months ago that the group had detailed information about his personal life as "seriously intimidatory".
The 54-year-old bishop denied absolutely that he was homosexual, but acknowledged there was more "ambiguity" about his sexual orientation than with some people.
He said: "With regard to the question 'Are you a gay bishop?', the answer to this is that I have from the beginning chosen to live a single celibate life. This is a positive way of life for me."
Dr. Hope's extraordinary openness followed a series of conflicts involving leading clerics and homosexual issues.
OutRage! named 10 bishops as alleged homosexuals during last November's General Synod. The Bishop of London was not one of them. Then at a private meeting on Jan 4, Mr. Tatchell handed him a letter urging him to "come out".
Mr. Tatchell, 43, denied yesterday that the letter had been threatening. He said: "It was a friendly and amicable meeting." He said he later received an answer to his letter which was also published by the bishop yesterday.

As Hollywood is pressured to choose between AIDS research and animal rights, Peter Tatchell argues that animal experiments are scientifically flawed and unethical.
AIDS awareness and animal rights are the two biggest Hollywood causes célèbres. Now stars are being told they can't be in favour of both. AIDS activists claim there will be no progress in the fight against HIV without animal testing. They are demanding that Hollywood ditches its support for animal rights.
This has led a minority of celebrities, like singer Melissa Etheridge, to abandon their endorsement of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which campaigns against vivisection.
But the choice offered by AIDS activists is a false one. It is possible to support the rights of both animals and people with AIDS. Indeed, several dissident chapters of the AIDS activist organisation, ACT UP, backed the recent March For The Animals in Washington DC, as did the London-based queer rights group, OutRage!
In a letter read out at the March by rock star Chrissie Hynde, OutRage! declared: "We do not believe that the oppression of queer people can, or should, be remedied by the oppression of other peoples or species".
The defenders of AIDS-related vivisection respond by arguing that finding a cure for HIV is so important that it justifies inflicting pain on animals. However, if cruelty is excusable for the greater good, then surely it would be also justifiable to experiment on humans. Obviously it is not!
The truth is that vivisection –not animal rights– is undermining the fight against AIDS. It is diverting resources away from more promising avenues of investigation. If we want to know how HIV affects humans, we need to study human physiology (not that of other species).
Confirmation that research findings with animals cannot be generalised to humans (and vice versa) is well established: there has been only one case of HIV causing AIDS-like illness in chimpanzees, and SIV (the monkey immune deficiency virus) doesn't produce AIDS in people.
Common sense says that the most likely way to discover a vaccine and cure for HIV among humans is to research the interaction of HIV with human cells and the human immune system.
Since 1992, several of the world's top scientists –including Professors Robin Weiss, Albert Sabine and Jonathan Weber– have warned that AIDS studies using animals are unlikely to be of much relevance to the conquest of HIV in people. They complain that the millions of pounds squandered on studies with other species would have been far more usefully spent on research with humans.
All the major advances in understanding HIV have been made without the need for vivisection. One of the very important insights into the way HIV penetrates the cells of the immune system was part-funded by an animal rights group (the Dr. Hadwen Trust). Using human cell cultures, this discovery at St. Mary's Hospital, London, was made by researcher who are critical of vivisection on scientific grounds. Head of the research team, Professor Jonathan Weber, believes that their breakthrough may not have come about if, like many other scientists, they had focused on studies with non-human species.
ernatives to the use of animals in HIV experiments –such as human cell, tissue and organ cultures– increasingly offer fast and accurate results. Computer modelling has also made a big contribution to the development of new HIV treatments.
Once the provisional safety of a new anti-AIDS drug is ascertained, Professor Weber supports carefully controlled human volunteer trials. These can involve the administration of tiny, harmIess doses and the monitoring of their effects by means of blood samples, lasers, biopsies and ultrasound probes.
These techniques are a more reIiable indicator of a drug's safety than experiments with animals. Tests with rats and mice, for example, failed to predict some of the adverse side effects of the two main HIV treatments, AZT and ddI.
Despite AIDS activists' berating Hollywood stars with claims that animal research is necessary to save lives, there is not a single significant breakthrough in AIDS research that can be attributed to animal experimentation. Vivisection is, in fact, a disreputable, unethical pseudo-science that is hindering our understanding of AIDS and how to defeat it.
Have you ever felt short-changed by the Gay Business Association's endless perpetuation of the so called "Pink Pound"?
It's a seductive concept: the idea of a mass of issue-conscious, gay, lesbian and bisexual consumers, capable of (and willing to) exercise their purchasing power to the detriment of businesses that hurt queers … it's certainly something we'd all like to believe in.
But just look, the ambivalent pattern of consumer spending behaviour within our community — it's not exactly inspiring, is it?
For example, the apparent lack of anything more than passive queer concern over Time Out's exposure of staff sexual abuse allegations against Compton's of Soho manager, George Winchcole, makes a mockery out of the notion of a conscientious "pink pound"; it also casts doubt upon the existence of a genuine, gay, lesbian and bisexual "community".
If these two things really existed, surely queers would have diverted their custom and expenditure away from a bar that has acquired such an unpleasant reputation.
Sure they would – but they haven't. Compton's has consistently been as packed as ever since the allegations first emerged, and the free queer press has (at best) treated the issue as a wholly peripheral news story — a sorry spectacle that illustrates the shameful extent to which they are tucked inside the bar owner's pockets. The queer press only responded once the story became impossible to ignore. Without Time Out the story would have probably never seen the light of day.
It's fucking disgraceful, and radical queers must not be afraid to look critically at things that emanate from the (ultimately self interested) GBA, instead of from queer subculture in its far broader sense.
The truth is the "pink pound" protagonists will sell us short every time in the name of a big, fat pink profit; and the wall of silence that initially surrounded the Compton's fiasco illustrates this far better than words ever could.
OutRage! calls on the GBA to draw up a code of conduct opposing sexual harassment in the workplace (including an independent complaints procedure) and require all its member businesses to sign it.
We also call for the formation of a union for employees working in Gay Businesses to protect their interests against greedy, exploitative employers. We suggest BUGGER – the British Union for Good Gay Employees' Rights.

We would never out a private individual or a public figure who supports the lesbian and gay community. The only people we support outing are public figures who abuse their power and authority to condemn homosexuality and oppose gay civil rights. In other words, we target those who are gay in private but antigay in public. People who act in a way that is hypocritical and homophobic are fair game for outing.
Unlike the Church, OutRage! believes in the parable of the Good Samaritan. We are not willing to walk by on the other side of the street while homosexual men and women are being victimised.
The queer community has a right to defend itself against public figures, including church leaders, who abuse their power and influence to support policies which inflict suffering on homosexuals.
Bishops lecture other people about being truthful: yet at least 14 of them refuse to be truthful about their own homosexuality. They bear false witness and absurdly accuse OutRage! of intimidation because we asked them to be truthful.
Even more nauseating, these bishops are gay in private, but publicly condemn homosexuality and support antigay discrimination. The official policy of the Anglican Church, endorsed by all Bishops, is that homosexuals must "repent". These teachings fuel antigay intolerance and lead to concrete acts of Anglican homophobia. Gay clergy in open, honest homosexual relationships are forced out of the ministry. Church resources are provided for "ex-gay" cults such as the Courage Trust, which attempts to brainwash queers into believing they are sick and in need of "healing". The Children's Society, a Church of England charity, refuses to allow lesbians and gays to foster young people in need of a loving home.
This denial of homosexual human rights is endorsed by Anglican leaders such as the ex-Bishop of London, David Hope, (now Archbishop of York). Dr. Hope opposes an equal age of consent for gay men and supports the Children's Society ban on lesbian and gay foster parents.
Outing is queer self-defence. We have a right, and a duty, to expose hypocrites and homophobes. By not outing gay Bishops who support policies which harm homosexuals, we would be protecting these Bishops and thereby allowing them to continue to inflict suffering on members of our community. Collusion with hypocrisy and homophobia is not ethically defensible for Christians, or for anyone else.
Outing is a shock tactic. We make no apology for that. No movement for social justice has ever won equality without being provocative. As the Suffragettes and the black civil rights movement showed, it's often necessary to be confrontational in order to force an uncaring, intolerant society to address the concerns of the down-trodden.
Whether or not people agree with OutRage!, our outing campaign has done more than any other initiative to publicly the hypocrisy and homophobia of the Church of England. It has compelled the Anglican leadership to address lesbian and gay issues in a way that no other campaign has succeeded in doing.
Six months ago, the Anglican leadership was refusing to discuss homosexuality. Because polite lobbying had failed, OutRage! felt more challenging tactics were necessary. In November 1994, we named 10 Anglican Bishops and urged them to "Tell The Truth" about their homosexuality. Within two weeks, senior Church leaders began serious discussions with lesbian and gay organisations for the first time. Within a month, the Bishops issued one of their strongest condemnations of antigay discrimination. A little later, the world conference of Anglican leaders called on the Church to rethink it's policy on homosexuality. Then, after having refused to make any public pronouncement on homosexuality for five years, the Archbishop of Canterbury declared that lesbians and gays are "made in the likeness of God" and that society must "reject homophobia".
In the midst of all this, two Bishops came out. Although the then Bishop of London did so half-heartedly, it was nevertheless a great achievement to get the third most senior Bishop to admit that his sexuality was "ambiguous" and "a grey area". A few months earlier, such an admission would have resulted in his resignation. Now, however, because OutRage! has succeeded in making Church homophobia less acceptable, the Bishop of London has been promoted to Archbishop of York!
Our plan worked like a dream. We wanted the Bishop of London to come out and for the Church to accept and support him. That's exactly what happened. We created a situation where the entire Anglican leadership felt compelled to rally round the Bishop and give him its official blessing.
With the Bishop of London having been accepted by the Church, this should now make it easier for other clergy to come out and make it harder for the Anglican hierarchy to take disciplinary action against them.
Already our campaign has inspired some parish priests to come out. It has generated immensely valuable discussions on homosexual issues in many congregations. Indeed for three weeks, we got the whole country talking about matters of concern to lesbian and gay people.
Since the Bishops were named and two others came out, everyone knows that there are gay people within the Church leadership. This is bound to make the Anglican top brass more circumspect in their homophobia. They realise that, given their tacit acceptance of gay senior clergy, any hint of antigay policy will be instantly ridiculed as hypocrisy and double standards. This will almost certainly act as a significant constraint on overt Church homophobia in the future.
None of these positive developments would have occurred if OutRage! had not "provoked a crisis" in the Church by naming the Bishops. Outing has been a catalyst for social change. Not only has it pushed the Anglican Church further towards accepting gay clergy and supporting homosexual human rights, it has also put the hypocrisy and homophobia of establishment institutions at the centre of public debate. OutRage! is proud to have turned over the tables in the temples of homophobia.

Texas Tech coach Kristy Curry said. I felt like we were going east
and west and not rim to rim or north to south."
The Lady Raiders actually took a two-point lead by holding
Baylor to four points in the opening four minutes. It didn't
Odyssey Sims scored 18 points and Brittney Griner had 15 points,
nine rebounds and five blocks for the Lady Bears (32-0), who will
face Kansas State in the semifinals.
The plight for Texas Tech (19-13) was symbolized by Ashley
Field's three-point bank shot that beat the buzzer at the end of
the first half. That made it 40-16 after Tech had been hanging
around, trailing just 27-16 with 3:53 left in the half.
Monique Smalls led the Lady Raiders with 11 points and Kelsi
Baker had nine rebounds.
"I really feel like we didn't come out playing as well as we
know we should have," Smalls said. "But credit to Baylor. They
had a good game and we had a bad shooting half. It happens."
With Tech up two after the first television timeout, Sims got
things rolling for Baylor with a couple of passes over the top of
the zone defense. Baylor went to full court pressure and the length
and athleticism of the Lady Bears kept the Texas Tech offense in
Unable to finish drives against the intimidating presence of
Griner, Texas Tech shot just 18.5 percent (5 of 27) in the first
half while committing 12 turnovers. Meanwhile, Baylor was able to
distribute the ball well over the final 16 minutes of the half,
resulting in a 61.5 percent field goal percentage (16 of 26). The
Lady Bears had a 20-4 advantage in lane points during the opening
20 minutes.
"They've got great balance across the board and their
supporting cast is playing really well," Curry said.
Texas Tech had looked strong on Wednesday with an opening round
victory over Texas, but the deep and talented Lady Bears proved to
be a different type of challenge.
The Lady Raiders had hoped to stay with Baylor by avoiding
Griner as much as possible and hitting a bevy of 3-pointers. But
Tech finished just 3 of 14 from beyond the arc.
The Lady Raiders played a lot of zone and collapsed around
Griner whenever she caught the ball in the post. But Sims hit four
three-pointers and had balanced scoring with Griner taking just 10
"Today, their supporting cast did a great job of getting into
the heart of the defense," Curry said. "I'm sure that's something
they've worked on. You've got to pick and choose. I don't think you
can let (Griner) be your entire focal point. You've got to have
great balance not only at the offensive end, but also the defensive

Predictors of perioperative myocardial infarction in surgical myocardial revascularization
Cristiano Pederneiras Jaeger; Renato A.K. Kalil; João Carlos Vieira da Costa Guaragna; João Batista Petracco
OBJECTIVE: To
evaluate which preoperative and trans-operative variables are predictors for
the occurrence of myocardial infarction in the perioperative period of surgical
myocardial revascularization in a general hospital in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
METHOD: A retrospective cohort study was made of the database of heart surgery in the Hospital São Lucas of the Pontifícia Universidade Católica in Rio Grande do Sul analyzing 1471 consecutive patients who underwent on-pump surgical myocardial revascularization from January 1998 to December 2002.
RESULTS: Fourteen percent of the patients presented with perioperative myocardial infarction. The variables that proved to be independent predictors of perioperative myocardial infarction in surgical myocardial revascularization in this study were: prior surgical myocardial revascularization (OR: 2.070 p=0.036), left main coronary artery lesion (OR: 1.692 p=0.006), female (OR: 1.572 p=0.034), preoperative unstable angina (OR: 1.533 p=0.011), high number of grafts (OR: 1.336 p=0.001) and prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time (OR: 1.013 p<0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: Prior surgical myocardial revascularization, left main coronary artery lesion, female, preoperative unstable angina, high number of grafts and prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time proved to be independent predictors of perioperative myocardial infarction in surgical myocardial revascularization in this study of patients from a general hospital from Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Descriptors: Myocardial infarction. Myocardial revascularization. Risk assessment. Coronary disease.
Thrombotic complications are considered the main causes of mortality in myocardial revascularization surgeries (MR). Among them, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is stressed due to its high incidence, which varies from 5% to 15%, according to published data [1,2]. The consequences of perioperative AMI can vary from minor enzymatic increases without clinical relevance to states of low heart output or malignant tachyarrhythmias, followed by death or reduced survival over the long term [1]. This explains the amount of effort out in to attempt to avoid this complication.
Many North-American and European studies have demonstrated the main pre- and trans-operative factors that predict perioperative AMI; however, in Brazil, this data is unknown. Thus, this information is of great importance because, if this risk is identified and adequately controlled in the pre- and trans-operative periods, it will be possible to reduce this severe complication.
The purpose of this study is to determine which factors, among the main factors associated with perioperative AMI in on-pump MR as described in literature, are independent predictors for this outcome in a population of operated patients in a general hospital in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
This is a retrospective cohort study, with prospective data collection for database organization. The studied population was patients submitted to MR in isolation in Hospital São Lucas of the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (HSL-PUCRS) _ Brazil. Out of the 2102 consecutive patients who performed heart surgery in HSL-PUCRS, between January 1998 and December 2002, 1580 patients performed MR and out of these, 1471 were submitted to MR in isolation, which made up the study group. The sample was a good representative of the cohort of patients submitted to MR, with an average age of 60.8 ± 10.1 years and 15.6% women. Diabetes mellitus was present in 27.5% of the cases; arterial hypertension in 67.9%; lesions of left coronary artery trunk (LCT) in 20.9%; and, on average, each patient received 2.96 ± 0.96 grafts. The average left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) in the preoperative period was 47.5 ± 12.1%; 2.5% of the patients had previously undergone MR; 1.4 % required emergency surgery; 0.6% performed coronary endarterectomy with the surgery and, finally, a high rate (40.6%) of patients suffered from unstable angina (UA) in the preoperative period (Table 1).
The criteria utilized to define AMI in the perioperative period of MR were those amply described in literature [1,2]: (1) new and persistent Q-waves on the electrocardiogram (ECG) within 48 hours of surgery associated with maximum serum CK-MB level > 30 U/L; (2) new and persistent blocks of the left branch seen on the ECG within 48 hours of surgery associated with maximum serum CK- MB level > 30 U/L; (3) maximum serum CK-MB level > 80 U/L, in isolation. The enzymatic sampling was performed at hours 0, 4, 8, 16, 24, 36 and 48 in the postoperative period; ECGs were performed at hours 0, 24 and 48 in the postoperative period.
Analysis of the database of the Postoperative Heart Surgery Unit of HSL-PUCRS was undertaken verifying the variables and the clinical outcomes of AMI. The following variables, that have been described in the literature as the main predisposing factors of perioperative AMI, that is, possible confounding factors, were controlled: age, gender, LVEF, lesions of the LCT, UA, coronary endarterectomy, emergency surgery, reoperation, number of grafts and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time. The time of aortic clamping was not included in the analysis, as it is a variable with a similar pattern as CBP time (r= 0.82). The occurrence of three-vessel lesions was not evaluated as it is directly related to the number of grafts in the analytic model (r= 0.88).
The statistical analysis was achieved using the SPSS 11.0 program, with descriptive analysis of general data, the Pearson's correlation coefficient for the exclusion of variables with similar patterns in the analytic model, multivariable analysis using the chi-squared test for categorical variables and by the Student t-test for continuous variables and multivariable analysis by logistic regression of the variables that presented a value of p<0.2. The final results were presented as ODDs ratio (OR), with 95% confidence intervals (CI), which established a statistical significance of p< 0.05 for the multivariable analysis.
As this was a survey of hospital records of patients who were difficult to locate, either because they were already dead or their addresses unknown and, therefore, impossible to be located, consent forms were not signed by the participants. The heart surgery database in POUHS of the HSL-PUCRS has the approval of the Research Ethics Committee of this institution. This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of HSL-PUCRS and of the Institute of Cardiology/Fundação Universitária de Cardiologia (IC- FUC).
Out of 1471 patients included in the study, 206 (14%) patients presented perioperative AMI. In univariable analysis, some statistically significant differences were found between the groups with and without perioperative AMI. In Group 1 (with AMI), the average number of grafts was higher (3.21 ± 0.96 vs. 2.92 ± 0.95 p-value < 0.001), as was the presence of LCT injury (29.1% vs. 19.6% - p-value = 0.002), preoperative UA (50.5% vs. 39.0% - p-value = 0.002) and the CPB time (95.7 ± 32.8 minutes vs. 81.7 ± 28.8 minutes p-value < 0.001). There were no statistically significant differences between the groups with and without perioperative AMI in respect to gender, age, LVEF, emergency surgery, reoperations and associated coronary endarterectomy (Table 2).
With the aim of obtaining independent predictors of perioperative AMI, multivariable analysis was performed. The variables included in the equation were gender, age, presence of LCT injury, preoperative UA, associated coronary endarterectomy, reoperation, number of vascular grafts and CPB time. After logistic regression analysis, with adjustment for possible confounding factors, six variables were identified as independent predictors of perioperative AMI in MR: reoperation, LCT injury, gender (female), preoperative UA, number of grafts and CPB time.
The sample, which is representative of a population of patients who were submitted to MR, provides data similar to those found in the MR database register of patients operated on during 2000 in the American Society of Thoracic Surgeons, thereby validating the selection of patients. In the American sample, the average age was 65 years, with 19% of the participants female, the incidence of LCT injury was 23%, reoperations 7%, and the average LVEF in the preoperative period 49% [3].
However, some methodological problems must be considered as potential limitations of the study. The reliability of the data can be harmed in studies performed retrospectively, however as the data was collected prospectively to set up the database, the chance of committing mistakes is minimized.
A combination of an increase in serum CK-MB and the presence of new Q-waves seen in the ECG examination were criteria utilized to define the diagnosis of perioperative AMI and are widely accepted in the medical world [1,2]. However, it is well known that the sensitivity and specificity of this combination of parameters is not the gold standard. Nevertheless, the practical logistic difficulty of transferring all patients from the intensive care unit in the first few postoperative days after heart surgery, when they are frequently in severe conditions, with pleural and mediastinal drains and sometimes with other apparatuses, such as catheters to monitor pulmonary arterial pressure and systemic arterial pressure, pacemakers and intra-aortic balloons, to a nuclear medicine laboratory to perform myocardial scintigraphy with pyrophosphate technetium, is unfeasible. Even though recently there have been some publications describing the use of troponin in MR [4-6], a consensus has not been reached yet that defines a cut-off point in the diagnosis of perioperative AMI.
Some authors already studied and described predicting factors of perioperative AMI. Bojar et al. [1] described LCT injury, three-vessel involvement, preoperative unstable angina, left ventricular dysfunction, left ventricular hypertrophy, associated coronary endarterectomy and extended aortic clamping time as the main predictors of perioperative AMI. Martins & Guaragna [7] added to these variables: advanced age, extended CPB time, incomplete revascularization, high number of vascular grafts, reoperation and thrombocytosis. Costa et al. [8] described the predisposing factors for the increases of CK-MB above upper reference limits in the postoperative period of on-pump MR, even considering the fact that the majority of these cases are secondary alterations after myocardial manipulation. The variables that were highlighted included: emergency surgery, preoperative coronary occlusion, and the first marginal artery as the target vessel, the use of short-acting nitrates, coronary angles greater than 90º in targeted segments and extended aortic clamping time. Eigel et al. [9] studied predicting factors of the first occurrence of perioperative AMI (19 events) or death (six events) in MR, with the total of 21 adverse results in the 540 patients evaluated. The variables gender (female), extended aortic clamping time and extended CPB time were demonstrated to be the predictors of the result in question. In our study, a higher number of patients was evaluated, compared with the two aforementioned studies and we found some variables in common with positive correlations, including gender (female), the extended CPB time, preoperative unstable angina and LCT injury. The number of grafts was evaluated in the studies of Costa et al. [8] and Eigel et al. [9] but proof of this being a predicting factor was not found; on the other hand 'reoperation' was considered to be an exclusion criterion in the aforementioned studies and therefore this factor was not analyzed.
In conclusion, in this study we found that the being a woman, LCT involvement, preoperative UA, reoperation, extended CPB time and a high number of grafts prove to be independent predictors of AMI in the perioperative period of MR, in this sample of patients operated on in a general hospital of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

I've had the tremendous honor of documenting my friends Dave and Kristy's "journey" together from their engagement, to their wedding, then pregnancy, then newborn pics of little Dani, then family photos and Dani photos a couple times a year since her birth. They are near and dear to me and Dani always makes it highly enertaining. She is quite the fiesty little thing and now that she is 2 her favorite word is "NO", but she says it SO incredibly sweetly with a little high pitched sing-song voice that you can't help but giggle even though she flat out refuses to do anything you ask her to! Ha!
I know Kristy was really worried that I hadn't been able to get anything due to the (very normal) terrible 2's behavior but in between the tears, protests and tantrums we actually had some very lovely, fun, happy and delightful moments! 2 yr olds are all over the place emotionally and it's quite entertaining (when you aren;t the parent of said 2 yr old!) to watch them go through their wide range of emotions and erratic behavior. It also didn't help that it was almost 100 degrees outside and we were all melting! And yet, we still got GREAT shots! How can you not with a little girl who has a smile like Dani's!?
We were able to use the same venue for this shoot as where they were married and that was an extra special treat. I love the Saratoga Mountain Winery! Such a gorgeous location! A couple quick notes too, the picture of Kristy's legs and the pendant is to honor her MAJOR accomplishment of completing the Half Moon Bay 26.2 miles marathon just 3 days prior to the shoot. Talk about AMAZING. I could never EVER do that. Aside from my right knee never having recovered from my big injury last year and me not being able to run anymore, even when I WAS running quite regularly, the most I could ever do was 8 miles and that was on a really good day at a really slow pace on a really flat course! 26.2 miles is superhuman to me. And so MAJOR props to her. And, clearly, the end result of all that training is those FANTASTIC legs of her.....I'm insanely jealous. In fact, with every passing year she just looks more and more stunning and fabulous. Motherhood suits her well!
Without further ado, a few favorites from our session:

Ace of Swords - Progress Sketch
Here's a sketch I was working on last night for the upcoming Light Grey Art Lab exhibition: Tarot, Mystics and the Occult. I'm excited about it for many reasons - partly because of the meaning of the card and partly because of the collection of people that will be showing with us. I should be, but I've been procrastinating doing all of the other things I should be doing - while I work on this piece. I have another piece of art due this Friday for another fun show! I'm excited to finish these up and see what other people do! Yeah!

He's got four Super Bowl titles to his name, but Tom Brady's most adorable accomplishments are his three children.
And the New England Patriots quarterback showed off son Benjamin, 5, at the team's victory parade Wednesday in Boston, hoisting him up to hold the Vince Lombardi trophy.
Earlier, his wife Gisele Bündchen — mom to Benjamin and 2-year-old daughter Vivian — posted a sweet pic of the men in her life getting ready for the blustery weather in Patriots knit hats.
And Bridget Moynahan, the mother of Brady's 7-year-old son Jack, also used social media to congratulate the team on Sunday's big win. (Both boys joined Bündchen, 34, in Phoenix to cheer on their dad, 37, during a nail-biting game.)

Firstly thank you for the help received after I dropped my laptop and subsequent tests performed. In the end I needed a new computer, and I have a few queries.
I had a budget of £300 and after looking at some OK spec desktops, I saw a decent spec one on Amazon Warehouse (Zoostorm 7877-0411, AMD A10 5700 3.4GHz Processor, 12GB RAM, 2TB HDD, DVD-RW, Windows 8). It was listed as used, but no further info. For £280 I thought I would give it a shot after an Amazon rep said I could return it for free if its not what I expected. One recent bad review said it was loud and wouldn't load Windows, so I assumed it would be that return. When I opened it, there was no scratches as described, I seems brand new. When I plugged it in to my current monitor, it loaded the Zoostorm logo, but said 'no signal' after that. I tried a Windows repair as I thought something was wrong with Windows, but nothing. I decided to plug it into my telly and it works! Windows loads and all seems fine.
So, my queries.
1. What should I look for in a monitor? Obviously my current one doesn't support it, what should I look for when getting a new one?
2. Can I see if anything has been done to the computer before I got it? I have to assume it was used, but would like to know how much, or if it was the bad reviewer and he had the same monitor trouble, and in the end didn't use it!
3. It didn't come with a Windows disc. Should I be worried, is it normal not to be supplied with one?
4. How do I get the windows key if I need it for future issues? Its not on the case (I haven't opened it up yet).
5. Can I do a health check, just to make sure everything is working fine? The HDD is making a loud noise, but Im used to silent laptop so its probably normal.
This is the speccy results ... http://speccy.pirifo...8O2kKhq2UWG5BbI And before you say, Yes, I have named my computer Tinkerbell! When I plugged it into the telly, it asked me to name my computer and I saw my daughters Tinkerbell DVD.
P.S I haven't installed Norton yet, I'll wait to see if Im keeping it before I start using it properly.

This is rather unreasonable, but it seems a new business model for many companies – take what users share for free, make money out of it and harass everyone who wants to use what has been shared. After the web 2.0 "revolution", corporations are trying to regain control of the web, content, users and uses. Points to remember: don't use services with questionable policies (at least for serious things) and value your freedom as a user on top of anything else.
Amplify'd from www.nytimes.com
World Entertainment News Network, a news and photo agency, announced this month that it had become the "exclusive photo agency partner" of Twitpic, a service with over 20 million registered users that allows people to upload images and link to them on Twitter. The deal allows the agency to sell images posted on Twitpic for publication, and to pursue legal action against those who use such images commercially without its permission, according to the agency.

This is an interesting set of words that are used in different ways.
First, it is not uncommon to hear some one say, "What are you up to?" Ignoring the preposition at the end of the word, it is interesting that the "up" has nothing to do with height.
This term "up to" cropped up again the other day. I saw a poster in a business advertising a job opening. This one happened to be for an installer of satellite dishes for television reception.
The part that caught my eye was that the pitch said you can earn, "up to $60,000 in your second year."
That seems odd to me, and very open-ended. If I earn $15,000, have they failed me? I think not, since I did not exceed their $60K limit.
The same holds true for the numerous weight loss products. Some say you can loss up to $50 pounds in the next six months, or some other number of pounds and months.
Again, if I only lose 2.5 pounds, I have met their statement of losing up to 50 pounds.
So, if you read this post, you can earn up to $100,000 AND lost up to half your body weight.
You are very welcome

Investors optimism over India following Narendra Modi's barnstorming election win is proving contagious, with some of the best-known emerging market equity managers upping their exposure to the country.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management's Prashant Khemka and Hermes' Gary Greenberg are betting on the outperformance of some which will be boosted by the pro-business stance of the new government or directly benefit from their intrinsic growth potential.
Khemka, who is CIO of EM equity at GSAM and Citywire AA-rated, has recently turned bullish on stocks which have suffered the most over the past five years.
Speaking to Citywire Global, he said that some mid-cap businesses in the industrial, consumer discretionary, real estate and financial space will thrive in the future, driven by Modi's reforms.
'The BJP's victory is the biggest inflection point in Indian history since the independence from Britain,' he said.
'We want to be in the most troubled areas of the economy, those which have suffered the most in the past years, and spot the best mispriced opportunities. Modi is a strong executor and we fully share the excitement following his victory,' he added.
Khemka, who manages the Goldman Sachs BRICs Portfolio, the Goldman Sachs Growth & EM Broad Equity and the Goldman Sachs India Equity funds, began increasing his exposure to these sectors at the start of the year.
The manager currently steers away from the telecommunication sector, believing it's high competitiveness doesn't offer great opportunities from a valuation point of view.
Over the last three years, Khemka returned 22.49 percentage points more than the average peer in the EM countries equity - India sector.
The software revolution
Fellow EM star, Citywire AA-rated manager Gary Greenberg, has upped his exposure to the Indian software sector to capitalise on the cutting-edge technological developments these companies are producing, he said to Citywire Global.
Hermes' head of emerging markets bought 2% positions in Tech Mahindra and HCL Technology in April, ahead of the national elections.
'Both are mid-sized companies moving towards automation and non-linearity. Cloud storage migration is a fantastic story. They also offer solid growth prospects at a really good value,' he said.
Greenberg, who manages the Hermes Global Emerging Markets fund, also upped his exposure to state-owned utility company PowerGrid and forging firm Bharat Forge, as he believes both industries boast a significant growth potential.
Speaking about the future of the country, the manager said we will have to wait 18-24 months to see the impact of Modi's reforms on the economy.
'The market has been pretty indiscriminate in its buying. Over the next six months, it will become more discriminating. Modi has raised a lot of euphoria, but he will cause several protests as well, even within his party,' he said.
Over the past year, Greenberg returned 5.08%, 7.45 percentage points more than the average manager in the equity – global EM sector.

12 Minutes to the Loop (Olive) T-Shirt
T-shirt features a detail of an electric station identification signs installed at all of the Congress branch (now the Forest Park branch of the Blue Line) stations when they opened in 1958-60.
The lettering on the sign was illuminated at night with neon tubing. These signs represented the first time that "L" stations were really marked with identifiers of that scale and type. Their design owes to two things: 1) Typical 1950's advertising and graphic design; and 2) the fact that the Congress stations were in the median of an expressway, isolated in the middle of a long bridge away from the neighborhoods that supplied many of the customers, meant that the stations needed a beacon to identify them from a longer distance.

Jun 12, 2006
June 12, 2006 – National Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE:NSM) capped off its most successful fiscal year in history today by equipping every one of its 8,500 employees with a 30-gigabyte video iPod. While designed for personal entertainment, the popular Apple MP3 player will be used as a new training and communications tool at National, providing a convenient real-time method for employees to download National podcasts and other employee communications.
"We're looking for new and more effective ways to communicate with our employees --- and the iPods will help us do both," said Brian L. Halla, National's chairman and CEO.
National announced record operating profits and gross margin Thursday when it announced its Q4 and fiscal year 2006 financial results. The Company's 1,600 Santa Clara employees celebrated the milestones at National's annual employee picnic Friday afternoon. Halla announced the Company's iPod communications program at the picnic.
The analog integrated circuits that National designs, manufactures, markets and sells provide portable devices (such as the iPod) with longer battery life, sharp images and crystal clear sound.
"Our employees were vital contributors to our most successful year in National's 47-year history, and we wanted to equip them with the tools to help us create more value for our customers," said Halla. "The Apple iPod exemplifies the next stage of the consumer electronics revolution as content such as downloadable music, movies and digital photos --as well as a compelling user experience-- takes center stage. And, it's analog that makes the difference. This is where National, and our employees, deliver value to our customers."
About National Semiconductor
National Semiconductor, the industry's premier analog company, creates high-value analog devices and subsystems. National's leading-edge products include power management circuits, display drivers, audio and operational amplifiers, interface products and data conversion solutions.

Headquartered in Santa Clara, Calif., National reported sales of $2.16 billion for fiscal 2006, which ended May 28, 2006.

Ortiz and Padilla are the subject of a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into whether they violated SEC rules and favored certain brokers
BernCo Voters Reject Treasurer Tag Team Duo
Bernalillo County Treasurer Manny Ortiz will be cleaning out his desk at the end of the year after losing his re-election bid in the Democratic primary to Nancy Bearce — a political newcomer.
Also likely to be leaving will be his investment officer, Patrick Padilla — himself a multi-term former treasurer. Not yet clear is whether a third Democratic challenger for the job — Christoper Sanchez — will be hitting the bricks. Sanchez has worked for the Treasurer's office for seven years.
Bearce, a neighborhood activist and long-time health benefits administrator, netted 25,580 votes, while Sanchez garnered 15,261 votes and Ortiz and Padilla split the remaining 25,062 votes cast in the Democratic primary, according to unofficial results from the Bernalillo County Clerk's Office.
Ortiz was the subject of a "no confidence" vote by the Bernalillo County Commission after the investment strategy he and Padilla pursued led the county to nearly miss payroll several years ago. The cash squeeze they created forced the county to sell off long-term investments at a $17 million loss. Their failings led the County Commission to hire an outside investment firm to do their jobs for them.
Ortiz and Padilla are the subject of a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission investigation into whether they violated SEC rules and favored certain brokers. An audit of their activities by the Office of the State Auditor concluded laws were likely broken. Both Ortiz and Padilla have denied wrongdoing and said their investment strategy was working.
In November, Bearce will face Republican Kim Hilliard, who rolled over Christopher Mario Romero 28,635 votes to 7,967 votes in the GOP primary, according to unofficial results.
Other races
Heavily financed Raul Torrez, a former federal prosecutor, won the Bernalillo County District Attorney's race over Edmund "Ed" Perea, a former Albuquerque police officer, by nearly 2-to-1 margin in a race in which 64,683 votes were cast.
Torrez, who received support from a PAC controlled by international hedge fund manager George Soros, will face Albuquerque attorney Simon Kubiak, who was unopposed in the GOP primary.
Linda Stover defeated Roman Montoya in the Democratic primary for Bernalillo County Clerk 37,158 to 28,635, according to unofficial results. In the general election in November, she will face Maryellen Ortega-Saenz, the only Republican to file.
In the Democratic primary race for the Public Regulation Commission seat representing the Albuquerque Metropolitan area, incumbent Karen Montoya lost to challenger Cynthia Hall by a wide margin — 25,976 to 19,508 — in a contest in which Hall characterized Montoya as being too close to the Public Service Company of New Mexico, which the five-member elected PRC regulates.

347 pages, 12 col illus, 64 b/w illus
Summary of current knowledge of the relationship between symbiotic organisms and their insect hosts. Includes findings from international experts, demonstrating how these relationships are utilized to control disease-carrying insects and agricultural pests world-wide.
Each reader will find chapters to delight him- or herself. ! should find a home in every biology library! a solid introduction to students, and extensive reviews of the past 20 years of research for professional investigators. They also will provide hours of enjoyable reading. The books represent the flowering of decades of research by dozens of pioneering scientists, and show how important symbiosis is to the biological sciences. The topic is so rich, and the investigators so productive that the editors could continue to produce a new volume every 3 years, indefinitely. Let's hope they do. -- Michael F. Dolan, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, USA ... The insights from the research described in Insect Symbiosis may help turn Wolbachia into a symbiotic insecticide, allowing entomologists to control pests that carry diseases and destroy crops. At the same time, the insights found in Insect Symbiosis challenge some of the basic vocabulary we use to describe life Symbionts are turning evolutionary biology into a symphony. The evolutionary fate of a host depends not only on its own genome, but on the hidden agendas of mutualists, parasites, commensalists, and other passengers who fall somewhere in between on the spectrum of coexistence... -- Carl Zimmer, From the Foreword Co-editor Thomas Miller has recently been awarded the G.J. Mendel Honorary Medal for Merit in the Biological Sciences. By awarding this medal, the Academy Council gives its highest recognition to Dr. Miller's outstanding achievements, which have been acknowledged worldwide. -- Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic This is the second volume in this exciting and rapidly advancing topic by these editors. ! a useful addition to your library. ! provides an excellent overview of the diversity of symbiont-insect relationships ! new topics have been introduced and previously discussed topics have been updated.
