1. Field of the Invention
This invention pertains to the architecture of an image processing system which serves as an intelligent high performance peripheral device in a digital imaging system. More specifically, the invention pertains to a bus structure, a timing and a protocol for use in such an image processing system. The bus structure provides an interconnection in which multiple array processors and memory modules can communicate simultaneously at a maximum transfer rate for a given number of bus lines and a given clock rate.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A variety of bus structures are well known in the prior art. Bus structures for real time video processing to date have a known number of shortcomings. To keep up with the demands of video rate information transfer, a bus architecture must overcome a number of classical drawbacks. One common drawback is the inability of the bus structure to achieve maximum throughput because of the inherent time delay between initiation of a memory read cycle and the availability of valid data at the memory output. Other drawbacks are also known in the art. Occasionally very complex process arbitration is needed to satisfy conflicting demands for a bus. Furthermore, there is often dead time inherent in the write-to-read transition. Many classic designs require very fast memory which in turn increases the cost of a system. Interface structures in the prior art have become quite complex because of the timing required for data address and control signals. The architecture of the bus structure of the present invention is designed to eliminate the various transmission bottlenecks which have occurred in prior art bus designs.
The bus structure of the present invention is a portion of the architecture of an image processor. This bus structure is designed to provide an interconnection structure in which multiple array processors and memory modules can communicate simultaneously at a maximum transfer rate for a given number of bus lines and a given clock rate. In order to keep up with the demands of video rate information transfer, the architecture utilizes a dual bus system. Two sets of buses are defined. One bus is for low speed control and data transfer and the other for the video rate multiple channel image transfer. Specifically, a VME bus is used for the computer controlling functions of the imaging boards and the synchronous video bus is designed to support D data channels where each channel has a B bit path.
The requirements of digital imaging applications for simultaneous processing lead to a parallel processing architecture in the central processor. In the image processing module this is achieved by way of the bus structure having multiple data paths and timing synchronization and high speed special purpose processors.
The video bus is further decomposed into four functional buses: address selection, data buses, timing and synchronization, utility and control. This particular choice of buses in divisions of activities removes the potential bottlenecks and provides simultaneous image transfer at video rates.
Generally, a bus structure can be made up of D data lines (the data bus) and A address lines (the address bus) as required for each application and a number of timing and control lines. A typical implementation of this structure consists of a 128 line data bus, a 28 line address bus, 2 timing clocks, 19 video control signals and 34 collision protection signals. To achieve maximum throughput and avoid the inherent time delay between initiation of a memory read cycle and the availability of valid data at the memory output, the bus structure of the present invention has the following features.
The data bus is divided into N sub-buses. This permits the dynamic allocation under software control of an independent path for each process, from 1 to N processes. Therefore, process arbitration is not needed. Each process can be allocated to one or several data sub-buses as required to match its specific data throughput requirements. This allocation constitutes a spatial multiplexing of the data sub-buses among N processes. The processes which perform both memory read and memory write operations are allocated to separate read and write buses, thus eliminating the dead time inherent in a read-to-write transition.
The addresses of all data sub-buses are time multiplexed on the address bus. Each data sub-bus address is transferred during a different clock time (time slot). Typically, the address receiver, usually a memory board, latches the address at the end of the time slot. This concept minimizes the number of lines needed to address data for all of the N data sub-buses. Each address accesses N words, which are transferred serially, one word per clock cycle, on the corresponding data sub-bus. The N words accessed with one address are called a packet. Utilizing this packet design, it takes the same amount of time, N clock cycles, to transfer all data packets as it takes to address all N data buses. This enables full time use of both the address and the data lines with no dead time. Furthermore, the time, N clock cycles, to access each memory module is increased. This permits the use of slower, less expensive memories and/or increased performance via multiple accesses to the memory, multiporting, during a packet time.
The bus structure of the present invention provides an optimum design in that it achieves the maximum possible throughput for array transfers for a given number of lines and a given clock rate. Up to N simultaneous data transfers, read or write, can be performed without the need for data or address arbitration. The number of read and write transfers is optimized in N steps to suit a particular application. Data can be fetched and returned to memory in parallel on different sub-buses without the need for local memory. This provides the optimum data path structure for pipeline processors. Data bus lines D can be subdivided into various word sizes in D/N increments. The multiple buses in the packet oriented timing are particularly suitable for array processing. Multiple array data can be transferred simultaneously and synchronously in their natural serial format.
The interfacing to the bus is relatively simple. The timing is fully synchronous for data, address and control signals. Data buses and address time slots are allocated by the system software, thereby eliminating the need for a request/arbitration/grant cycle. The timing of data transfers is fixed with respect to each packet clock, thereby eliminating the need for an acknowledge phase.

FIG. 3 shows the phase of various signal packets with respect to the buffered packet clock.

FIG. 5 illustrates a read transfer timing in the present invention.
The bus structure of the present invention, designed for an image processing system, provides for rapid processing of images. A typical application is a medical imaging system in which data acquisition, immediate processing and later post-processing of data from a variety of devices such as CAT scanners, NMR's, radiographic and fluoroscopic instruments is required. FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the utilization of the bus of the present invention in such a system, in which large arrays of data must pass through various hardware modules very quickly, up to a video rate. The structure of the present invention is a uniform, nondedicated, bidirectional bus system.
In the description of the preferred embodiment which follows, a relatively moderate transfer clock frequency is fixed at 9 MHz. A very wide data path does not lend itself to a good utilization in applications such as those considered for image processing. Instead of manipulating very large numbers, the bus of the present invention works with multiple, relatively narrow data organized in arrays upon which repetitive operations are to be performed. To do this efficiently, the data path has been partitioned into 16 eight-bit video data sub-buses, each of which may be driven by a different module. The data are transferred serially on these buses, which corresponds to the natural array structure of the image. Hence, for the preferred embodiment discussed herein the data bus is divided into N data sub-buses, where N equals 16, and the data bus itself is 128 lines.
An image processing module must support multiple asynchronous simultaneous processes. This means that multiple independent process masters should be able to control the movement of different data streams at the same time. The bus is designed to allow a maximum of 16 simultaneous video processes, each of which is able to transfer data on at least one video data sub-bus. This constitutes a spatial multiplexing of the video data sub-buses. Since it is impractical to implement 16 address buses, one for each possible process, the architecture of this system uses a time multiplexed video address bus, having 24 lines in the preferred embodiment.
In order to fully utilize the throughput of the data path, each video address accesses a 16 pixel packet. This is also convenient for memory design. Although each 16 pixel data transfer takes 16 clock cycles, an address is asserted during only 1 clock cycle. Therefore, 16 pixels of data on each video data bus can be transferred with all 16 possible process masters having asserted their respective video addresses. In the system of the present invention, no bus arbitration is necessary because the throughput of the address bus exactly matches that of the data buses. The various process masters are assigned fixed time slots during which to assert the video addresses. A video data bus which is initialized for a read or write operation at the beginning of a process will perform the same operation repeatedly, until a whole array is transferred. The only dynamic control is on writing individual words in the packet. This is done by means of 16 write enable lines, one for each data bus, on which write enable mask signals are transferred serially with each word. This allows conditional updating of only certain words in an array. In this image processing system, the memory consists of storage arrays, each of which can be simultaneously accessed through multiple channels. Therefore, in a memory access both the address in the array and the access channel must be specified. The same memory address can be simultaneously accessed by several processes through different channels.
The detailed design of the bus structure of the present invention is presented herewith. This section describes a typical implementation of the preferred embodiment, with D=128, N=16, and A=24.
The data bus consists of the following groups of signals:
video data buses (16) [VDAT]
video address bus [VADD]
video control signals [VCHNO, VADDVAL, WE]
timing signals [SYSCK, PACKETCK]
collision protection signals [GINVD, GOUTVD, GINVADD, GNOUTVADD]
Typically, data is transferred via 16 8-bit video data buses:
VDATO-0* . . . VDATO-7* Video data bus 0, bit 0 to 7
VDAT15-0* . . . VDAT15-7* Video data bus 15, bits 0 to 7
The signals are TTL negative-true.
Transfer addresses are asserted by process masters on the video address bus:
There are 24 video address lines. They represent the most significant bits of the 28-bit address space. The least significant four bits are not physically implemented because each video address accesses not a word but a 16-word packet. The numeration of the video address lines starting from 4 instead of 0 emphasizes this fact.
The signals are TTL, negative-true.
______________________________________VIDEO CONTROL BUSVIDEOCHANNEL NUMBER______________________________________VCHNO 0* Video channel number lines.VCHNO 1* Together with the address they define the memory board and the channel to which a particular video access request was addressed.VADDVAL* Video address valid, asserted by transfer masters during the time slots when they issue an address.WE0* . . . WE15* Word write enable, one for each data bus. Defines which words transferred on the bus are to be stored (written) in the memory. The write enable signals are transferred serially, in parallel with the corresponding data words.VCON 0* . . . VCON 1* Reserved for future control functions (such as expansion of channels/board).______________________________________
The data bus is synchronous. All signal changes occur after the leading edge of the system clock and are guaranteed to reach the new state 10 ns before the next leading edge of the system clock is received.
The other timing characteristic of the data bus is the packet organization. All the events are referenced to a "packet clock", occurring every 16th clock cycle.
The timing signals associated with the VIDEO BUS are:
______________________________________SYSCK* System clock: Has a frequency of 9.072 MHz for 60 Hz systems and 9.000 MHz for 50 Hz systems. It is an ECL signal distributed via a 50-Ohm line terminated at both ends of the line.PACKETCK* Packet clock: TTL negative true signal generated once every 16 SYSCK* pulses.______________________________________
The relationship between SYSCK* and PACKETCK* is shown in FIG. 2.
Because of the complex multi-bus, multi-master, simultaneous processing, the danger exists that because of an error, two devices will simultaneously try to access the same bus. To handle such a situation, a collision protection mechanism is used. It consists of 17 daisy-chained signals (one for each video data bus and one for the video address bus).
When a board wants to drive a bus, it asserts an Output Request Signal to the on-board collision protection circuit one clock-time before the actual transfer. This will drive the "Grant Out" signal high, inhibiting all the boards with lower priority from driving the bus. If the "Grant In" signal is low, then in the next clock cycle the output drivers will be enabled. If "Grant In" is high, then the output will not be enabled and "Grant Out" will be high.
The signals used for collision protection are:
______________________________________GINVD0* . . . GINVD15* Grant In for video data lines 0 . . . 15GOUTVD0* . . . GOUTVD15* Grant Out for video data lines 0 . . . 15GINVADD* Grant In for video addressGOUTVADD* Grant Out for video address______________________________________
Timing of the data bus is governed by 2 periodical signals, the system clock and the packet clock. The duration of a system clock period is also called a time slot. For ease of referencing, the time slots (between 2 packet clocks) are labeled from 0 to 15 (FIG. 2). This is an arbitrary notation without any special significance regarding the address or data packets. The important factor is that the address, write data, and read data packets have a fixed timing with respect to the packet clock.
The address packet starts 2 time slots before the (buffered) packet clock. The write data packet starts one time slot after the buffered packet clock. The read data packet starts 3 time slots after the buffered packet clock. This is illustrated in FIG. 3.
The data buses and address time slots are dynamically allocated before the transfer by the system software.
The timing of a write transfer (FIG. 4) is as follows:
The master monitors the packet clock and determines the start of an address packet. Then three system clock cycles later, it starts shifting out the data and "write enable" signals to the allocated bus(es). At the same time, the master waits for the allocated time slot(s), at which time it outputs the address(es), one clock period per address. This is the whole write transfer protocol. The unusual characteristic of it is the timing of address assertions which is decoupled from the start of data transfer; in fact, the address can be asserted after the data starts being transferred, as opposed to all "classic" buses where the sequence of arbitration/address/data/acknowledge is mandatory. At the receiving units, this data is latched whether it is to be used or not. The data enters a shift register (or other buffer device) where it is retained until the destination address arrives. Then the receiving device makes its decision to use or discard the data in the shift register buffer. This decision is made before the end of the packet transfer. While this aspect may be confusing for the first time user of the bus, the actual implementation of the protocol is simpler than that for the "classic" buses; this is because of the fixed, synchronous nature of the bus and because of the lack of arbitration and acknowledge phases of the transfer cycle.
The only difference between the read transfer (FIG. 5) and the write transfer is in the time of data transfer. In this case, since the data comes from a slave device (usually the memory), the address has to be asserted first and enough time has to be allowed for the data to be accessed in the pipelined memory. Here again, the start of the data packet is fixed not with respect to the time slot in which the address was asserted, but with respect to the start of the address packet. Namely, if the address is asserted during the address packet which starts at clock 0, the data starts coming at clock 37 (or 2 address packets and 5 clocks later).
As can be seen from the foregoing discussion, the data bus is divided into N sub-buses. This permits an independent path to be allocated for each process, from 1 to N processes. No process arbitration is needed. Each process may be allocated to one or several sub-buses as required to match its specific data throughput requirements. Thus, the data bus is spatially multiplexed. Processes which perform both memory read and memory write may be allocated to separate read and write buses, eliminated the dead time inherent in a right-to-read transition.
The addresses of all data sub-buses are time multiplexed on the address bus. Each sub-bus address is transferred during a different clock cycle, time slot. Typically, the address receiver latches the address at the end of the time slot. This minimizes the number of lines needed to address data for all of the N sub-buses.
Each address accesses N words, which are transferred serially one word per clock cycle on the corresponding data sub-bus. The N words accessed with one address are called a packet. It takes the same amount of time, N clock cycles, to transfer all data packets as it takes to address all N data buses. This enables full-time use of both the address and the data lines with no dead times.
The design of the bus structure of the present invention is optimum in the sense that it achieves the maximum possible throughput for a given number of lines and a given clock rate. Up to N simultaneous data transfers can be performed without the need for data or address arbitration. The number of read/write transfers can be optimized in N steps. Data can be fetched and returned to memory in parallel on different sub-buses without the need for local memory. Data bus lines can be judicially subdivided into various word sizes in D/N increments. The multiple sub-buses and the packet-oriented timing are particularly suitable for array processing. Multiple array data can be transferred simultaneously and synchronously in their natural serial format. Interfacing to the bus is simple because the timing is synchronous for data address and control signals. The data sub-buses are dynamically allocated by the system software and data transfer timing is fixed, thereby simplifying protocols.

Perfect organization and wonderfull place. Thank you very much Joe
If you want to be in Discovery Bay, a very mellow, naturally beautiful, and convenient place in Hong Kong, this is a great place to stay. Joe has a wonderfully kept place, suitable for one person or a couple, with ocean and mountain views. He is also a very responsive host, I never had to wait more than a few hours for an email response to anything.
I stayed at Joe's flat 1 month, its a very nicely renovated flat, comfortable, clean, and great view of the harbour. The upstairs balcony is great for a glass of wine in the evening or a nice breakfast in the morning. The flat is very well equipped, except for a washing machine, but there is a very cheap and good laundry spot next door. Great area, a lot of good restaurants, bars, galleries and markets around. Joe was very accommodating with the check-in and check-out. Would definitely recommend it.
Joe's place is great, He's very detailed and communicative in making sure everything with check-in and the apartment set-up. Very comfortable bed, living room and kitchen. While we only stayed one night, it was pleasant and hope we can return and stay longer on our next visit. Highly recommended.
My wife and I had just stayed at Joe's place for a month (Feb, 2013). And we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at his apartment. It was a great experience to stay at the neighbourhood where I used to grow up. Though the surrounding has changed after so many years, I can still remember bits and pieces of my childhood. The apartment is conveniently located with easy access to public transport. The inside is neatly decorated with a fantastic view of the harbour. My wife and I particularly enjoyed the night view from the rooftop balcony with a glass of wine. We were able to do some breakfast and even managed to cook a few light dinners from the open kitchen during our busy month.
Joe has provided us with wi-fi and we used it often for emails and FaceTime to communicate with our children and friends in Canada. Even though the apartment doesn't have a washer/dryer, we can do our laundries downstairs at the store for a cheap price and it's same day service. With the apartment located right next to the market, we were able to buy fresh produce and fruits daily. I was able to stay relatively active by jogging in the park which is only minutes away.
Overall, we would highly recommend anyone to stay here. Joe is a very nice and accommodating host. He met us a few times and we got along great. In fact, before we return to Canada this week, we are hoping to connect for a drink.
Our stay in Hong Kong has been a memorable one . Thank you, Joe.
Great Flat, perfect location and Joe was a caring and reliable host!
Will definitely go again!
Unterkunft komfortabel wie versprochen. Gut zu erreichen. Ein- Auschecken ohne Pronbleme. Der Gastgeber ist schnell bei der Beantwortung von Fragen.
Ein paar Handtücher wären schön gewesen, ebenso ein Besen oder Staubsauger.
Das Bad ist sehr dunkel und in der Anordnung etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, da der Boden nach dem Duschen lange mit Wasser bedeckt bleibt, was die Nutzung des WC erschwert.
If you choose this apartment, you're in good hands. Joe is a very accommodating host and though he was working abroad during my four night stay, any questions and scheduling tweaks were promptly handled over email. I especially appreciated his providing very thorough directions to his place, as well as other thoughtful details on living in his apartment. The place itself is very attractive and more than met my needs: big bed, nice couch, strong AC, epic iMac, solid wifi, kitchen, etc. Particularly worth mentioning is his rooftop balcony which, by virtue of the base elevation at Mid-Levels, offers an epic view of western HK island and some of Kowloon beyond. Can't ask for a more memorable way to start and end a day in HK. The area around his apartment is quite hilly, but is also a solid warm up to the physical nature of getting around HK. There are plenty of taxis roaming his street and nearby, which is very helpful given the long walk to the nearest subway station. Joe's neighborhood is also well served by bus, tram, and mini bus, so any bit of savvy with these modes can connect you to a subway station, if not anywhere in HK outright. A few other amenities: laundry mat and 7-Eleven next door, supermarket and Cafe de Coral right down the street. All in all, Joe's apartment is a very solid choice. Recommended.
We didn't meet Joe, but he seems a very cool guy and the organization for the keys, directions and so on was just perfect.
The apartment is located in a really cool neighbourhood in west HK exactly as described. The view from the 25th floor over the bay is just stunning.
Moreover, for HK standards, I think this apartment is quite big (please read: for HK standards... :)).
We stayed 6 days and had a very good time.
One negative note would be that we found it kind of noisy. The elevator is just next to the apartment and the windows are quite thin.
But then again: you are in the centre of Hong Kong - if you need quietness, I guess you picked the wrong destination... :)
There is also a roof top terrace which offers amazing views. I must say this was kind of messy and could have been neater.
Conclusion: i would certainly recommend this apartment.
joe made checking in very easy a great host thank you for everything
We've hosted Joe's sister for a week and we've been very pleased with her. She has been extremely friendly, appreciative, easy/fun to talk to, informative and took care of our place very neat and tidy! Check-in / check out was very smooth and communication very easy.
I would definitely recommend Carmel as guest and hope to see her again in our place next time she's in town. Thanks again !
Joe was a great guest! Very friendly, tidy, and he communicated well. I would welcome him back any time.

Does anyone know of a substitute for the inner seal on the Rubbermaid round coolers. I seem to have misplaced mine and i'm trying to convert it into a mash tun.
Look for a rubber washer, or some other kind of waterproof food safe rubber you can cut to fit. Look around the house...I almost cut up a rubber jar-opener pad.
I used a bigger bulkhead fitting I got from morebeer and I used hole saws to make the hole bigger and to cut the relief in the outer plastic. The fitting comes with it's own washers and has 1/2 pipe internal threads on inside and outside of the fitting. I also used their stainless false bottom. It works fantastic.

javascript based business reporting
Open source platform for designing and rendering various reports.
jsreport is a reporting sever which lets developers define reports using javascript templating engines (like jsrender or handlebars). It supports various report output formats like html, pdf, excel and others. It also includes advanced reporting features like user management, REST API, scheduling, designer or sending emails.
For more informations about the platform please visit http://jsreport.net
Production installation
see http://jsreport.net/downloads
To be able to install and start jsreport on your development machine you need to do following.
- install nodejs
- clone this repository
- npm install
- npm start
You may find installation troubleshooting guide specific for your platform here.
See Gruntfile.js for build automation options.
jsreport adapts to
production and
development nodejs environments. Difference is that in
production environment you get javascript files combined and minified for fast web application startup opposite to
development environment where you get all js files individually what makes debugging easier. Second difference is that in
production environment jsreport use
prod.config.json as configuration file opposite to
dev.config.json in `development.
To change environment use cmd
set NODE_ENV=development or use options your IDE provides. If you don't specify node environment jsreport assumes production as default.
jsreport loads
dev.config.json or
prod.config.json configuration file on start up based on nodejs environment. If configuration file is not found, jsreport creates default configuration file from
See config documentation for details.
grunt test - start tests with file system based db (neDb), no mongo needed
grunt test-mongo - start tests with mongo db, mongodb must be running on localhost
grunt test-all - start tests with nedb and then once again with mongo (used with travis CI)
grunt test-integration - start all tests with nedb including integration tests, needs java, fop and phantomjs running
The easiest way how to contribute to jsreport open source community is to implement jsreport extension. Pull requests to this core repository are also welcome.
The project is currently in the stabilization phase.
Features which should come shortly in Q1 2015:
- java sdk
- advanced pdf features: table of contents, metadata
- code quality: splitting jsreport into multiple npm packages, more tests, replace jaydata
- better logging
Features planned for Q2 2015
- some kind of a WYSIWYG editor integrated to embedded designer allowing non-developers to customize reports

LOS ANGELES (AP) — In Disney's "Wreck-It Ralph" opening Friday, the title character is the bad guy from a fictional 1980s video game. Despite faithfully doing his job well for 30 years, he gets no respect at work, so he escapes through the wires of Litwak's Family Fun Center searching for another game where he might prove his worth.
'Wreck-It Ralph' celebrates video-game nostalgia
Along the way, Ralph takes viewers on a nostalgic trip through the history of video games, from the blocky, eight-bit look of the '80s through the swirly, colorful, Nintendo 64-inspired games of the '90s to the gritty, ultra-detailed first-person shooters of today.
For director Rich Moore and the 450 artists and animators behind the Walt Disney Animation Studios production, video games are as integral a part of childhood as the green army men and pull-string cowboys celebrated in Pixar's "Toy Story" films.
"There's a lot of history in video gaming — serious nostalgia," Moore said. "The worlds of video games are so fertile. They cover everything, and so many different genres. You can kind of make up whatever you want and it can feel like a game."
Besides the scores of fictional game characters featured in the film, there's also familiar arcade favorites such as Q(asterisk)Bert, Clyde (the orange ghost from Pac-Man), Sonic the Hedgehog and Zangief from "Street Fighter."
"It's pretty awesome to animate game characters that you knew as a child," said animation supervisor Renato dos Anjos. "It's like living in a dream world. All your favorite heroes and villains are in your hands."
"Wreck-It Ralph" centers on Ralph (John C. Reilly), the 9-foot, 643-pound bad guy from the '80s video game "Fix-It Felix Jr." Ralph's job is to wreck the apartments of Niceland so Felix (Jack McBrayer) can fix them. But while Felix is lauded and loved for his efforts, Ralph is ostracized to a trash heap on the edge of town. Fed up and bummed out — especially when he realizes he wasn't invited to a 30th anniversary party for "Fix-It Felix Jr." — Ralph goes rogue, tripping through the wires of the arcade into games where he doesn't belong.
He's drawn to "Hero's Duty," a contemporary shooting game led by tough-as-battle-armor Sergeant Calhoun (Jane Lynch), in which soldiers who destroy the invading CyBugs win a glittery medal — tangible proof of their heroic efforts. With such a trophy, Ralph figures the Nicelanders would have to appreciate him. But he isn't programmed to handle such ultra-violent play, and when things go awry, Ralph finds himself trapped in the pink-hued, candy-filled world of Sugar Rush. Here he meets another video-game misfit, Vanellope Von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman), whose pixelated programming glitch makes her an outcast.

Perry indictment exposes Texas' political divide
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A grand jury has indicted Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry on two felony counts of abuse of power for making good on a veto threat — a case the possible 2016 presidential hopeful is dismissing as nakedly political, but which his opponents say is just deserts.
The indictments for abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant came late Friday, after a special prosecutor spent months calling witnesses and presenting evidence that Perry broke the law when he carried out a promise to nix $7.5 million over two years for the public integrity unit run by the office of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg. The Democratic official was convicted of drunken driving, but refused Perry's repeated calls to resign.
The case means the longest-serving governor in state history also became the first Texas governor since 1917 to be indicted. Abuse of official capacity is a first-degree felony with potential punishments of five to 99 years in prison. Coercion of a public servant is a third-degree felony that carries a punishment of two to 10 years.
Though the charges are serious, politics are sure to dominate the case. Lehmberg is based in Austin, which is where the grand jury was seated and is heavily Democratic. That's in stark contrast to much of the rest of Texas, which is fiercely conservative — so much so that a Democrat hasn't captured statewide office in 20 years.
Still, while Perry says he did nothing wrong in issuing the veto, simply having the word "indictment" associated with him could tarnish his image and complicate his prospects with 2016 GOP primary voters — should he try again for the White House.
When he ran for president in 2012, Perry plummeted from brief front-runner to national punchline, his once promising campaign doomed by a series of embarrassing gaffes, including his infamous "Oops" moment during a debate. This time, he's re-made his cowboy image, donning stylish glasses, studying up on foreign and domestic affairs and promising that he'll be far more humble in the national spotlight.
The unit Lehmberg oversees investigates statewide allegations of corruption and political wrongdoing. It led the investigation against former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, a Texas Republican who in 2010 was convicted of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering for taking part in a scheme to influence elections in his home state — convictions later vacated by an appeals court.
Perry himself was never called to testify in this case,— but many of his top aides were. David L. Botsford, Perry's defense attorney, whose $450-per hour fees are being paid for by state funds, said he was "outraged and appalled" by the grand jury's decision.
"This clearly represents political abuse of the court system and there is no legal basis in this decision," Botsford said in a statement. "Today's action, which violates the separation of powers outlined in the Texas Constitution, is nothing more than an effort to weaken the constitutional authority granted to the office of Texas governor, and sets a dangerous precedent by allowing a grand jury to punish the exercise of a lawful and constitutional authority afforded to the Texas governor."

Seed, peel and dice the pumpkin.
Sprinkle with sugar and set aside.
Next day, drain liquid from pumpkin into large heavy-bottomed pot.
Measure pumpkin pulp and set aside.
For every 10 cups pulp, add 7 cups sugar to liquid drained from pumpkin.
Bring liquid and sugar to the boil.
Slice and dice lemons and oranges and add to pot.
Add salt to taste (about 1 tsp.).
Boil 10 minutes.
Add pumpkin and simmer slowly until pumpkin is transparent.
Long, slow simmering is important.
Mildred says that her mother always added a bit of chopped, preserved ginger to the jam, but she herself never remembered to buy it when pumpkin season came around and it disappeared just as quickly without the ginger!!!

Tom Cruise's Edge of Tomorrow took $24.67 million in its first full week to bring its cume to $50.57 million, with 189,086 screenings and 4.06 million admissions, while 20th Century Fox tentpole X-Men: Days of Future Past took another $7.1 million, bringing its total take to $114.38 million after 24 days.
Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past is still the biggest Hollywood opening of the year with $39.35 million, just ahead of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which took $39.23 million in its first three days.
And Transformers: Age of Extinction and Maleficent are both still to come during the first month of summer.
PHOTOS: Godzilla Over the Decades
Hong Kong crime thriller Overheard 3 took $5.26 million to bring its cume to $47.45 million after 18 days, from 92,710 screenings and 980,500 admissions.
Directed by Alan Mak and Felix Chong, Overheard 3 features Sean Lau, Louis Koo and Daniel Wu, who all starred in the original, as well as Ng Man-Tat, Zhou Xun, Gordon Lam and Michelle Ye.
In fifth place was the local romantic comedy Night of Adventure, which took $1.73 million in its first full week to bring its cume to $3.62 million, followed by Zhang Yimou's Coming Home, which took another $1.22 million to bring its total to $46 million.
The Til Schweiger thriller The Guardians racked up $480,000 in its first three days.
PHOTOS: From Dracula to Godzilla, 15 Iconic Movie Monsters
Behind that came the domestic horror movie Midnight Hair, which earned $840,000 in its opening weekend, and domestic animated feature GG Bond 2, which took $490,000 to bring its total to $6.67 million.

Topless Muscle Hunks in Taiwan's Most Popular Talk Show "Kangsi Coming" – 康熙來了
Here's your gym inspiration for the day. "Kangsi Coming" (康熙來了), probably Taiwan's most popular talk show, invited a varied pack of hot guys that had one thing in common, they were all dumped by their exes because of their scrawny physics, they were even labeled as "weak chickens (弱雞)". Instead of feeling sorry for themselves they started fitness training, the results as the before and after pics show are quite impressive in some cases and others are work in progress. One of the guys (小甜心 鄭駿奇), who also happens to be gay, just joined the gym a year ago and thinks that he probably only got invited so that he could be laughed at, but he was happy to participate nevertheless. The hostess 徐熙娣(小S) loves to check out their pecs and judge whose feel softer, and whose are more manly!

As of March 2015, Connecticut is one of 7 Democratic state government trifectas.
Article III of the Connecticut Constitution establishes when the Connecticut State Legislature, which the House of Representatives is a part of, is to be in session. Section 2 of Article III states that, in odd-numbered years, the Legislature shall convene its regular session on the Wednesday after the first Monday in January. Section 2 requires regular sessions in odd-numbered years to adjourn by the Wednesday after the first Monday in June.
The Constitution does not establish when the Legislature is supposed to meet in even-numbered years, so these dates are established by law. In even-numbered years, the Legislature convenes on the Wednesday following the first Monday in February, pending the decision of the Legislature, and it must adjourn by the Wednesday after the first Monday in May.[3]

Article III, Section 4 of the Connecticut Constitution states: The house of representatives shall consist of not less than one hundred twenty-five and not more than two hundred twenty-five members, each of whom shall be an elector residing in the assembly district from which he is elected. Each assembly district shall be contiguous as to territory and shall elect no more than one representative. For the purpose of forming assembly districts no town shall be divided except for the purpose of forming assembly districts wholly within the town.
| How Vacancies are filled in State Legislatures
If there is a vacancy in the House, a special election must be conducted to fill the vacant seat. The Governor must call for an election no later than 10 days after the vacancy happened. All special elections must be held no later than 46 days after a Governor's declaration. If the vacancy happened with less than 125 days left before the general election, the special election must be held on the same day as the general election. No election can be called by the Governor if the vacancy happened with less than 49 days before the general election[7].
- See also: Redistricting in Connecticut
The General Assembly is responsible for redistricting. The legislature appoints a bipartisan committee to draw new maps, which are then presented to both chambers for a 2/3 majority vote. Should the legislature fail to meet its deadline, a nine-member commission is appointed to assume the task. Should the commission miss its own deadline, the task then falls on the Connecticut Supreme Court.
2010 census
Connecticut's population grew 4.9% from 2000 to 2010. The Assembly failed to adopt a plan in time, and the commission that took over the process barely passed one in time itself, finishing a House map with two days to go, and a Senate map leaving just hours to spare.
The Speaker of the House presides over the House of Representatives. The Speaker is elected by the majority party caucus followed by confirmation of the full House through the passage of a House resolution. In addition to presiding over the body, the Speaker is also its chief leadership position, and controls the flow of legislation and committee assignments. Other House leaders, such as the majority and minority leaders, are elected by their respective party caucuses relative to their party's strength in the chamber.[8]

Standing Committees
- See also: General Assembly Committees
Unique among the 50 state legislatures, in Connecticut, all legislative committees are joint committees of the upper house and lower house.
Partisan balance 1992-2013
From 1992-2013, the Democratic Party was the majority in the Connecticut State House of Representatives. The Connecticut State House is one of 18 state Houses that was Democratic for more than 80 percent of the years between 1992-2013. During the final three years Connecticut was under Democratic trifectas.
Across the country, there were 577 Democratic and 483 Republican State Houses of Representatives from 1992 to 2013.
Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states have divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Office of the Governor of Connecticut, the Connecticut State Senate and the Connecticut House of Representatives from 1992-2013.
