First National Conference on Ecosystem Restoration (NCER) was held
December 6-10, 2004 in Orlando, Florida. More than 900 people from 43
states and the District of Columbia attended the conference, including
federal, state, and local agency personnel, tribal governments, water
resource engineers and managers, environmental consultants,
environmental policy managers, ecological scientists and researchers,
hydrological modelers, students and environmental interest groups.
Four foreign countries were also represented including Canada,
Australia, China and the Netherlands, and more than 50 sponsors and
partners, who represent all segments of the restoration community,
provided support for the conference.
How did the conference come about? In 2002, Lieutenant General Robert
Flowers, Chief of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, convened a meeting
of his Environmental Advisory Board (EAB) to garner input on
large-scale ecosystem restoration projects, particularly in the
Florida Everglades. The EAB, which was created as a means for the
Chief of Engineers to gain
expert and independent advice on environmental issues facing the Corps
of Engineers. At the 2002 meeting, the EAB noted the need for better
integration and sharing of scientific information and communication of
that information for use in resource management decisions. The Corps
and U.S. Geological Survey recognized the potential synergy that could
be achieved by jointly sponsoring a conference that merged the
planning, policy and science of large-scale restoration programs into
a single event, and thus, the NCER was conceived.
Participants were invited to interact in an interdisciplinary setting
to review and summarize state-of-the art science, planning and
management activities and to formulate goals and approaches to
restoration. The conference also provided an opportunity to learn
about national ecosystem restoration efforts throughout the country
and to learn about large-scale ecosystem restoration programs
including Glen Canyon, Everglades, San Francisco Bay/Delta, Chesapeake
Bay, Great Lakes, Louisiana Coastal Area, Puget Sound, and the Upper
Mississippi River. Throughout the conference, participants
investigated challenging restoration-related questions, such as:
How do we effectively integrate planning, policy and science such that
each contributes to the other in an effective, relevant and timely
Are there local, regional and national policies guiding restoration?
For restoration projects involving multiple governmental agencies and
tribal governments, how do we ensure continuity and completion of
large-scale, multiyear restoration projects?
How do we ensure that restoration policy facilitate integration of new
science, new and improved technology, and new and improved modeling
into restoration planning and implementation?
How can the scientific information be used to achieve environmental
sustainability in restoration programs? How do we set restoration
objectives and define success?
Restoration of degraded ecosystems has been and continues to be a high
priority throughout the Nation. Yet those involved in ecosystem
restoration have had limited opportunity to interact with their
colleagues at the national scale to discuss issues and challenges
relevant to ecosystem restoration. This First National Conference on
Ecosystem Restoration and future restoration conferences will continue
to serve as a forum for individuals engaged in ecosystem restoration
projects to exchange information and "lessons learned" on the
challenges and opportunities for sustainable restoration of natural

The purpose of NCER is to provide a forum for physical, biological,
and social scientists, engineers, resource managers, and
decision-makers to share their knowledge and research results
concerning ecosystem restoration throughout the United States. The
public forum will exchange information and "lessons learned" on
opportunities for and challenges of achieving restoration. Conference
participants will have the opportunity to learn about large-scale
ecosystem restoration programs (e.g., Glen Canyon, Everglades, San
Francisco Bay/Delta, Chesapeake Bay, Great Lakes, Louisiana Coastal
Puget Sound, Upper Mississippi River, etc.) and what has contributed to success of as well as
lessons learned from these programs. The role of science in
establishing goals and performance expectations for achieving
successful and sustainable ecosystem restoration will be explored.
Return to Index
The conference is designed to bring together scientists, engineers,
managers, and policy makers who are actively involved in and/or
affected by all aspects of ecosystem restoration. Participants will
interact in an interdisciplinary setting to summarize and review
state-of-the-art science, planning, and management activities, and to
formulate goals and approaches to restoration. This includes federal,
state, and local agency personnel, tribal governments, water resource
engineers, water resource managers, environmental consultants,
environmental policy managers, ecological scientists and researchers,
hydrological modelers, students, and environmental interest groups.

Synthesis of Lessons
Scientists and managers involved
in a restoration effort are strongly encouraged to submit abstracts
describing their projects. Special consideration will be given to work
that synthesizes existing information. Abstract submissions will be
used to select oral and poster presentations, and ALL abstracts, both
oral and poster, will be published in the conference book of abstracts
and will be posted on the web site following the conference.
Researchers not wishing to make oral presentations are strongly
encouraged to prepare posters and submit an abstract. As with oral
talks, poster presentations provide a valuable opportunity for
scientific interaction. Abstracts must be submitted electronically. Detailed instructions
are provided below. Be sure to follow them carefully to ensure that
your abstract submission is received and recorded.

Role of Science in Adaptive Management
Friday, December 10, 2004 (8:30am – 1:00pm)
The conference will feature a special hands-on workshop on The Role of
Science in Adaptive Management. This workshop, which requires
pre-registration, will be co- facilitated by Steven Yaffee, Professor
of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Theodore Roosevelt
Chair of Ecosystem Management Natural Resource Policy at the
University of Michigan, and Barry Gold, Program Officer of the David
and Lucile Packard Foundation (and former Chief of the Grand Canyon
Monitoring and Research Center).
management "treats management policies and actions as experiments in
order to improve management by learning from the ecosystems being
affected. Adaptive management links credible science, values, and
experience of stakeholders and managers for management decision
making." Increasingly, credible, objective science is seen as an
important guiding light for decision-making in adaptive management
A review of adaptive management programs
suggests that conflicts arise over values, management objectives, and
about the science, its objectivity and usefulness. This workshop will
explore the role of science in adaptive management, approaches for
balancing quality with relevance and issues related to linking science
to policy and decision-making. Workshop participants will be provided
with a simulation exercise based on real experience gleaned from how a
number of large-scale adaptive management programs have addressed
these issues. They will engage in role playing to apply some of the
concepts and ideas discussed in the previous two days, as well as to
share their own insights and past experiences that illustrate concepts
and challenges regarding the role of science in adaptive management.
Attendees will also participate in role-playing exercises that
review scenarios and demonstrate how to address questions around
designing a process that helps link science with decision-making.
Based on a course taught at the US Fish and Wildlife Service's
National Conservation Training Center (NCTC), this workshop is
intended to help participants:
Focus on the real world challenges involved
in implementing adaptive management at the project level, and build
familiarity with a set of strategies for dealing with them;
identify strategies to overcome institutional
barriers in order to improve the effectiveness of
adaptive management efforts; and
foster relationships with other colleagues
dealing with adaptive management in added contexts.
IS FILLED -- Because of the interactive nature of this workshop, attendance is
limited to the first 50-registrants, and advance
registration is required. Please indicate your interest in
participating on the conference registration form. As seating space is
limited, should you need to cancel your registration, please notify us
no later than 30-days prior to the workshop so that another registrant
may fill your seat.
Advanced registration closes at 5:00pm on Tuesday, November 23, 2004.
After that time it will be necessary to register onsite at the
The Nature Conservancy's Disney
Wilderness Preserve - $40.00
Friday, December 10, 2004
The Disney
Wilderness Preserve is a 12,000-acre Nature Conservancy project
located in the pine flatwoods ecosystem of central Florida. It was
started in 1992 as an offsite mitigation project for wetland impacts
occurring at Walt Disney World Resort, the Orlando International
Airport and various small developments in Orlando. The mitigation
involves restoring hydrology in over 4,000 acres of wetlands on a
former cattle ranch, re-introducing native vegetation in over 1,500
acres of pasture and re-establishing natural processes (primarily
fire) throughout the 12,000-acre site. The Nature Conservancy has
expanded the mission of the project to include an ecological research
program to meet restoration and management information needs in pine
flatwoods systems.

Kissimmee River Restoration/Riverwoods/Lockett
Estate – $80.00
Saturday, December 11, 2004
In 1992,
Congress authorized the Water Resources Development Act to implement
the Kissimmee River Restoration. The restoration project is
cost-shared by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and
US Army Corps of Engineers (USCOE). The Riverwoods Field Lab serves as
the central staging area for the SFWMD's research and monitoring of
the project.
The Kissimmee River Restoration Project will restore the integrity of
the river by backfilling the middle third of the river to restore flow
and the lost benefits of the original pre-channelized system. The
project will restore over 40 square miles of river/floodplain
ecosystem including 43 miles of meandering river channel and 27,000
acres of wetlands.
The Riverwoods Field Laboratory (RFL) is a facility jointly managed by
the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and Florida
Atlantic University's Center for Environmental Studies (CES). Riverwoods' main mission is
to support research and educational activities related to the
restoration of the Kissimmee River and the greater Everglades
Established in 1995, Riverwoods coordinates the activities of research
scientists, students, and technicians from state and out-of-state
organizations and institutions, including universities, water
management districts and other agencies.

Northern Everglades & Restoration Sites –
Saturday, December 11, 2004
the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge, the last
northernmost portion of the unique Everglades. With over 221 square
miles of Everglades habitat, A.R.M. Loxahatchee National Wildlife
Refuge is home to the American alligator and the endangered Everglades
snail kite. In any given year, as many as 257 species of birds may use
the refuge's diverse wetland habitats.
Not quite all of the 147,392 acre refuge is Everglades habitat. A four
hundred acre cypress swamp is the largest remaining remnant of a
cypress strand that once separated the pine flatwoods in the east from
the Everglades marshes. A boardwalk into the swamp gives you a chance
for an up-close swamp experience without getting your feet wet.
Web Site:
restoration is an enormous effort now moving forward through many
projects incorporated under the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration
Plan (CERP). The framework of restoration is built on the assessment
and interpretation of performance measures as individual project
components unfold.
The Loxahatchee Impoundment Landscape Assessment (LILA) project is now
underway in the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife
Refuge and will assist in developing performance measures for the
restoration effort. The project will divide two existing 34-acre
impoundments into four 17-acre impoundments with a re-circulating
water system that provides tight control over water levels. Each
impoundment will be constructed to physically mimic the Everglades
landscape, and water depths and flows will be manipulated to induce
related responses by wildlife, tree island, and ridge and slough
communities. Scientists and engineers will use the project to test
restoration plans on a small scale before applying them to the
large-scale Everglades ecosystem.

ISOLAS - http://www.gibraltarlawyers.com /Fiduciary http://www.fiduciarygroup.com
Our websites speak volumes about us but, in brief: ISOLAS is Gibraltar's longest established law firm yet one of the most dynamic in the market. We are a full-service law firm which prides itself on the close customer relationships we build and develop, our friendly and personal approach to the work we do whilst maintaining exceptional levels of service. Fiduciary is a corporate services provider, providing corporate and trust solution to wide range of clients all over the world. Together, ISOLAS and Fiduciary provide complete and efficient tax planning solutions to its clients. We are, above all, about our relationships. We are expert, dedicated and solutions driven and we take our responsibilities to our clients very seriously indeed. We also know how to have fun and go to great lengths to organising events in the community at which our clients can join us and socialise away from the professional sphere of our daily lives. Christmas in Gibraltar is celebrated in much the same way as the UK. We don't say 'Happy Hoildays,' we send 'Seasons Greetings' or wish someone a 'Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.' It never snows in Gibraltar and rarely goes below 9 degrees Celsius but, given that traditionally Christmas is associated with snow, I have no issue with such an association on the card. Think 'the Rock of Gibraltar' as part of the design as that might help. The logo's are uploaded for your use and I will try to get you the names of the fonts and pantones we use shortly.
We are targeting existing clients and partners. We do this every year and are very keen to show that our clients are our most important commodity and everything we do is geared to ensure that they are 100% satisfied with the service they get
An elegant and smart card with a Christmassy feel with a single but poignant detail which makes it dynamic, rather than a flat picture. Something that looks like we've put some thought into it. It is important that both companies, ISOLAS and Fiduciary, are represented well in terms of colour correctness. Feel free to be creative on the detail that's dynamic. Please bear in mind that we are planning on inserting the final image in an email to be sent to our list of contacts along with a link in the same email to the image placed on our website. The same design will be used for printed cards which we will be sending to some contacts along with a gift. The message 'This Christmas, instead of sending Christmas Cards, we will be donating funds to a number of local charities' needs to be included. The charities in question are The Happy faces Charity, Breast Cancer Support Gibraltar and St Martin's School. A standard message such as 'The staff at ISOLAS and Fiduciary wish you a Merry Christmas... etc. ISOLAS Pantone – Blue 288
Fiduciary Pantone – Red 1955

We have a database that contains contact information –first name, last name, phone number, email address -for approximately 4000 high profile people working in the oil and gas industry in Calgary Alberta Canada. We are offering this database online to our subscribers and need a website logo branded with the name CalgaryContacts.com -that reflects the offering.
Calgary's oil patch is populated by high octane, fast charging people with a no-bs, "get it done" attitude. The website logo needs to reflect this. Consider metallic color treatments for this purpose or other sufficiently "manly" (ahem) treatments.
Target audience is sales professionals working in the oil and gas space. These are technically savvy users.
the logo must fit into a space of 250x250 pixels. the logo must "work" with a gray or black background which is the color scheme the rest of the site will be utilizing.
We are interested in seeing treatments with the following properties:
1) Variations on the theme "C3" -where C3 stands for CalgaryContacts.com
2) *OR*, it may be advisable to overlay the logo on a background depicting the province of Alberta, Canada. A sample where this is done (which we're quite fond of) can be found at the following URL:
3) Any logo that emphasizes a heavy industrial vibe -oil and gas being a heavy industry.

LEWISTON, Maine -- Kevin Ferber returned a Bates fumble 62 yards for a touchdown as time expired on the first half, changing the complexion of a game the Bobcats had controlled for the most part, and Amherst went on to win 20-7 in the season opener for both teams on Saturday at Garcelon Field.
The score was tied at 7-7 and Bates had the ball at Amherst's 25 with one play left on the game clock in the second quarter. The Bobcats, who had moved 43 yards on 10 plays in their drive, decided to take a shot into the end zone, but as quarterback Trevor Smith rolled to his left, he was sacked from his blind side and stripped of the ball at the Amherst 30 by Mike Aldo. Ferber was there to scoop up the ball and outrun the only Bobcat who had a chance of catching him, Bates junior running back Patrick George (Gloucester, Mass.), up the right sideline for the go-ahead touchdown. Amherst went into intermission with a 14-7 lead, despite a 12-4 Bates advantage in first downs, a 19:07 to 10:53 edge in time of possession and a 183-113 edge in total offense.
Amherst added a pair of field goals by Matt Rawson to its lead in the second half, a 38-yarder in the third quarter and a 42-yarder in the fourth quarter. The Lord Jeffs ran the ball 33 times for 150 yards in the second half to salt away the clock, while Bates was forced to punt five times and turned the ball over on three other possessions in the second half.
Eric Bunker ran for 106 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries for Amherst, while Ryan Silva added 62 rushing yards. Blake Grauer completed 14 of 25 passes for 83 yards but was picked off three times by Bates.
For Bates, Smith completed 24 of 41 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown -- a 6-yard scoring connection with sophomore Kevin Davis (North Andover, Mass.), Davis's first collegiate score. But Smith was also sacked six times and picked off twice.
Senior John Squires (Swampscott, Mass.) grabbed seven catches for 89 yards to lead all receivers, while George gained 63 yards on the ground, including 50 in the first half. After rushing for 43 yards on 22 carries in the first half, Bates' running game dwindled to produce just five yards in the second half on 14 carries.
Aldo had three of Amherst's three sacks, and Matt Sponheimer notched two others. Danny Chun and Matt Pieterse had 12 tackles apiece for the Lord Jeffs.
Senior Cam Evans (Norwell, Mass.) had two timely interceptions for Bates in addition to 10 tackles, while sophomore Andrew Kukesh (Exeter, N.H.) had a game-high 13 tackles (9 solo) and Kevin Helm added 12 more (9 solo). Junior Kyle Starr (Concord, N.H.) also had an interception to go with five solo tackles.
Amherst scored a touchdown on its first possession of the game after taking the ball over at the Bates 35 thanks to Aldo's blocked punt. Bunker converted a 4th-and-1 situation to keep the drive alive with a 6-yard scamper. Two plays later, he ran off-tackle for a 1-yard score.
The teams traded scoreless drives three times, before Bates got into the scoring column to tie the game at 7-7. The Bobcats started out at their own 13, but got a quick first down on a 3-yard completion to Davis followed by a 9-yard catch by Squires. A 19-yard completion to Squires and a 16-yarder to Curit helped the Bobcats charge into the Amherst red zone. On 3rd-and-goal at the Amherst 6, Smith found Davis wide open over the middle for the tying score with 3:23 left in the half. Bates' defense held Amherst to three and out on its next possession, and the Bobcats were trying to get a halftime lead before Amherst turned the tables on the final play of the quarter.
Both teams traded three and outs to start the third quarter, but Amherst got some offensive traction on its next possession, driving 42 yards on 11 plays before Rawson's 38-yarder with 9:00 left in the third quarter.
Amherst threatened to increase its lead in the final minutes of the third, reaching Bates' 19 after an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty assessed to the Bobcats moved them from the 35 into the red zone. But on Amherst's next snap, Kukesh separated Mike Samela from the ball and senior Will Taft (Hamilton, Mass.) recovered at the 17. Bates had the ball for the start of the fourth quarter, but Ferber sacked Smith for a 4-yard loss that stunted Bates' drive.
A fumble on Bates' next possession was forced by Aldo and recovered by Evan Rosenstein, giving the Lord Jeffs the ball in prime field position at Bates' 15. A tackle for a loss and a holding penalty backed the Jeffs up to the 30, but Amherst got five more yards back to give Rawson a 42-yard field goal opportunity, which he nailed for a 20-7 lead with 6:51 left in the game.
Bates plays host to Tufts next Saturday at 1 p.m. as part of Parents & Family Weekend.

We love cars, but when it comes to giving our friends advice, maybe we love cars a little too much.
Today we talked about the biggest misconceptions about gearheads and how it's hard for us to recommend a used Honda Civic when we know there's a sweet E30 wagon on Craigslist right this minute. This provoked some daydreaming on the part of Jetstar 88.
Girl: I'm thinking of getting a Chevrolet Colbalt.
Me: But for the same price, you could get a 1973 Rolls-Royce.
Girl: ...but that won't be reliable, and it's bad for the environment.
Me: *Bullshit cough* Actually, using a car for a long time is better than getting a disposable Chevy.
Girl: But it gets bad mileage.
Me: Fine, but, for the love of god, get a Civic or Mazda3.
Girl: gets Colbalt
Moral: If you want to advise people on cars, don't start with anything awesome. They'll then think anything else (even a Civic) is crazy.
Has anyone ever taken your car buying advice?

NeuroBlast July 2013 Issue
Tuesday, December 10, 2013
In this issue: Alzheimer's | Endoscopic Neurosurgery | Stereotactic Radiosurgery | Pediatric Epilepsy
Welcome to NeuroBlast, the newsletter of advances in neurology, neurosurgery, and neuroscience from Massachusetts General Hospital. In each issue, you will find timely and clinically relevant stories about major trends in translational neuroscience and clinical care. On our websites, www.massgeneral.org/neurosurgery and www.massgeneral.org/neurology, you will find full stories, links to original literature and further reading, resources for physicians and patients, and more.
This issue examines the latest in Alzheimer's Disease, pediatric epilepsy, and neurosurgical oncology treatment innovations. Future issues will include a full range of topics in neurology, neurosurgery, and neuroscience. While you are here, please take a moment to leave us a comment or question. We welcome your feedback.
A Comprehensive Approach to Alzheimer's Research
For researchers at Mass General, taking a comprehensive approach is the only sensible way to develop new treatments for Alzheimer's Disease. "One of the things that distinguishes our program," says Brad Hyman, MD, PhD, "is that it goes all the way from gene discovery through animal models to drug discovery, and from discovery of biomarkers and novel neuroimaging techniques through trial design to clinical trials." Dr. Hyman is Director of the Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, a NIH Center of Excellence. That approach is evident in the work of four top AD researchers at MGH. The articles below describe their work.
Endoscopic Neurosurgery Advances to Treat Rare, Complex Tumors
"Endoscopy is less invasive than traditional microscopic approaches," says neurosurgeon William Curry, MD, "but the most important thing is that it actually allows better access, and safer resections." Read More
For Top Alzheimer's Researcher, Drug Discovery Follows Gene Discovery
Rudy Tanzi, PhD, is poring over the entire genome sequences from almost 1500 familial AD patients, searching for gene variants that tilt toward risk or protection in those most at risk for developing the disease. Says Dr. Tanzi, "This is as big as big data gets." Read More
Shifting the Paradigm for Spinal Metastases with Stereotactic Radiosurgery
"Radiosurgery has shifted the paradigm of how we treat these patients by allowing us to minimize the morbidity of conventional surgery and to focus on tumor control," says Dr. John Shin. Read More
Alzheimer's Tau Pathology, Spreading out from the Entorhinal Cortex, Can be Reversed
Dr. Hyman is exploring how tau pathology spreads from neuron to neuron and has shown that, under the right conditions, that spread can be stopped and even reversed along with some of its neural system consequences. "While there is presumably a "point of no return" after which neuronal death ensues," he says, "we think that some or all of these phenomena, long held to be end-stage pathology lesions in human AD, may be at least in part amenable to therapeutic intervention." Read more.
A Comprehensive Treatment Program Includes Dietary Therapy for Intractable Epilepsy
"Too many neurologists still think of dietary therapy as 'too hard,' even for kids with intractable epilepsy," says Elizabeth Thiele, MD, Director of the Pediatric Epilepsy Program at Mass General. Read more. Watch a related video: Treatment for Epileptic Seizures in Young Patient.
Testing Whether Early Treatment Can Change the Course of Alzheimer's Disease
Reisa Sperling, MD, is using neuroimaging to ask whether anti-amyloid antibody treatment can reverse AD pathology before memory loss sets in. "We are going beyond looking for evidence of preclinical Alzheimer's Disease," Dr. Sperling says, "and are now asking whether, if you intervene at this stage, you can actually change the course of the disease." Read more.
Sniffing Out Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease
Mark Albers, MD, PhD, is developing a set of simple but powerful tools that examine the cognitive processing of odors to screen for the very earliest stages of preclinical Alzheimer's Disease. "Ultimately," Albers says, "we are hoping to develop a test that would be noninvasive and cost-effective that could be given to essentially everyone over the age of 50."Read more.

From Openmoko
gsmd is the GSM daemon running in background of the GTA01 phone, managing the actual 'phone' part of the phone :)
gsmd is usually started as a daemon in background, but can be run in foreground mode for debugging.
The options can be queried like:
> src/gsmd/gsmd --help gsmd - (C) 2006 by Harald Welte <firstname.lastname@example.com> This program is FREE SOFTWARE under the terms of GNU GPL Usage: -v --version Display program version -d --daemon Deamonize -h --help Display this help message -p dev --device dev Specify serial device to be used -s spd --speed spd Specify speed in bps (9600,38400,115200,...) -F --hwflow Hardware Flow Control (RTS/CTS) -L --leak-report Leak Report of talloc memory allocator -l file --logfile file Specify a logfile to log to
If your GSM modem is attached to ttySAC0 (like in the Neo1973), you can e.g. use:
gsmd -p /dev/ttySAC0 -s 115200 -F
libgsmd is a library with C language API for application programs. Programs using this library can use the phone, e.g. make phone calls, receive incoming calls, register to the network, etc.
libgsmd-tool is a small demo application that can be used to demonstrate the usage of the libgsmd API.
libgsmd-tool has multiple modes.
Usage of shell mode
Shell mode provides a simple text-based command interface for making voice calls.
The shell mode can be started using
libgsmd-tool -m shell
It can be used like in the following example:
> src/util/libgsmd-tool -m shell libgsm-tool - (C) 2006 by Harald Welte This program is Free Software and has ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY ? A Answer incoming call D Dial outgoing number H Hangup call O Power On o Power Off r Register to network R Register to given operator (R=number) U Unregister from netowrk P Print current operator L Detect available operators Q Read signal quality T Send DTMF Tone n Print subscriber numbers pd PB Delete (pb=index) pr PB Read (pr=index) prr PB Read Range (prr=index1,index2) pf PB Find (pf=indtext) pw PB Write (pw=index,number,text) ps PB Support pm PB Memory pp PB Set Memory (pp=storage) pRr Retrieve Readrg Records pRf Retrieve Find Records sd SMS Delete (sd=index,delflg) sl SMS List (sl=stat) sr SMS Read (sr=index) ss SMS Send (ss=ask_ds,number,text|["text"]) sw SMS Write (sw=stat,number,text) sm SMS Storage stats sM SMS Set preferred storage (sM=mem1,mem2,mem3) sc SMS Show Service Centre sC SMS Set Service Centre (sC=number) q Quit O # EVENT: PIN request (type=1) Please enter PIN: 6582 r # EVENT: Netreg searching for network EVENT: Netreg registered (home network) D03024033902 # Dial 03024033902 EVENT: Call Progress: UNKNOWN EVENT: Call Progress: PROCEED EVENT: Call Progress: SYNC EVENT: Call Progress: ALERT H # Hangup EVENT: Call Progress: DISCONNECT EVENT: Call Progress: RELEASE EVENT: Incoming call type=2! EVENT: Incoming call clip=`"03024033902"' EVENT: Incoming call type=2! A # Answer RSTR=`OK' H # Hangup RSTR=`OK'
Usage of atcmd mode
The atcmd mode is a passthrough-mode. Passthrough means that it accepts GSM 07.07 commands, passes them through the daemon to the phone, and returns you the response. this is very useful for debugging.
The atcmd mode can be started using
libgsmd-tool -m atcmd
Usage is like in the following example:
> src/util/libgsmd-tool -m atcmd libgsm-tool - (C) 2006 by Harald Welte This program is Free Software and has ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY AT+CPAS STR=`AT+CPAS' RSTR=`+CPAS: 0' AT+COPS=? STR=`AT+COPS=?' RSTR=`+COPS: (2,"E-Plus","E-Plus","26203"),(3,"o2 - de","o2 - de","26207"),(3,"Vodafone.de","Vodafone","26202"),(3,"T-Mobile D","TMO D","26201")'
Operator selection functions were implemented and merged into SVN head[1]:
The new commands in libgsmd-util are as followings:
R - Register to given operator (R=number) P - Print current operator L - Detect available operators Q - Read signal quality
This is implemented by the functions with "_opers_" naming.
Currently missing
(please add items to this list if you're missing more features)
- Phone related functions
- Airplane mode / gsmd stop (this will be done outside gsmd, by using runlevels / upstart)
- Capability to set-up Emergency Calls, even if the device does not hold a SIM card
- obtain manufacturer/model/revision/IMEI
- SMS related features
- send SMS
- receive SMS
- obtain IMSI
- access to SIM-card stored SMS - No longer missing - see help
- SIM related functions
- read phonebook entry - No longer missing - see help
- write phonebook entry - No longer missing - see help
- GPRS related functions
- set up GPRS link, use it via separate DLC of TS07.10 multiplex
- gsmd internal infrastructure
- fine-grained event subscriptions (rather than wildcard-subscribe)
- possibility to specify log-level from command line
- logfile re-opening on SIGUSR1 or SIGHUP (logrotate)
- permission handling
- d-bus interface
Implementation Thoughts
State tracking
gsmd needs to do apropriate state tracking of the underlying GSM hardware. For many of the state transition we only get events from the GSM Modem, but don't have apropriate query commands. Thus, assuming gsmd runs all the time, applications can come and go, but still have an idea about the current state of the modem, even if they missed the initial state transitions.
Also, gsmd state tracking allows us to allow for safer interoperability of multiple applications. If i.e. one applications has just started an outgoing call, gsmd can detect another application who intends to interfere with that and deny access
device power state
- modem completely off, not responding to AT commands
- modem responding to AT commands, but powered off (CFUN=0)
- modem responding to AT commands, in some power saving mode
- modem responding to AT commands, powered on, fully operational (CFUN=1)
Suspend power state
It must also configure the modem so that it can on appropriate events wake the system from sleep.
network registration state
- not registered to any network, not trying to register
- not registred to any network, searching/trying to register
- registered to home network (including cellID)
- registered to roaming network (including cellID)
ciphering indication state
- ciphering indications not supported by modem
- ciphering indications supported, but disabled in SIM
- ciphering indications supported, ciphering active
- ciphering indications supported, ciphering inactive
call state
- idle
- busy
Sources of gsmd are kept in OpenMoko svn in src/target/gsm directory.

Somewhere in the central US, another cornfield just gasped in horror. Nissan announced it will offer an E85-compatible Armada SUV in corn-belt states for 2007. The company's largest ute will join its sister ship, the 5.6-liter V8 powered Titan FFV pickup — launched in 2005 — in E85 suckage. Nissan's plans call for selling in the neighborhood of 55,000 Titans this year, and 20,000 Armadas — figures that have already been revised downward — though the FFV Armadas will be sold in the North Central, South Central, South East, and Mid-Atlantic regions.
