1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a large scale integrated circuit (LSI) microcomputer using a complementary type insulating gate transistor, and particularly provides a microcomputer of which semiconductor chip dimensions are small and power consumption can be minimized.
2. Description of the Prior Art
An arithmetic and logic unit in an integrated circuit (IC) can be generally classified into a static system and a dynamic system from the mechanism of the circuit.
The static system uses only a static logic such as a flip-flop circuit or a latch, and has an advantage that there is no time limit in the holding of information whereas this system has a disadvantage that it uses a large number of elements and accordingly the dimensions of the semiconductor chip become large.
On the other hand, the dynamic system includes dynamic logic which utilizes the electric charge accumulated in the gate floating capacity of an insulating gate type transistor for the maintenance of information. This system has an advantage over the static system in that, when compared with the same circuit, the former uses a smaller number of elements than the latter, in other words, a large number of arithmetic and logic units can be generated in the semiconductor chip of the same dimensions. The dynamic system has a disadvantage, however, since the electric charge of the gate floating capacity disappears because of leakage current. Therefore, it is necessary to rewrite (refresh) in a cycle of a certain time period (within a few milliseconds) to maintain the electric charge and the necessity of refreshing leads to increased power consumption.
Microcomputers of low power consumption operable with a battery, for example, having a large volume of arithmetic and logic units built in a semiconductor chip of small dimensions represented by a single-chip microcomputer, are in demand recently.
As a means for satisfying the request for low power consumption, the use of a complementary type insulating gate transistor (there are many kinds for this type, and all of these shall be hereinafter called "C-MOS" in the present specification) has been considered instead of the conventional P channel or N channel insulating gate transistors. The use of the C-MOS certainly reduces the power consumption. However, when the static system is employed, the required number of elements is large, so that the dimensions of the semiconductor chip become greater. When the dynamic system is employed, an attempt to operate the computer by a clock signal of high frequency to increase the execution speed causes an increase in power consumption due to rise in the frequency.
In examining the dynamic system in detail, the dynamic logic ROM or RAM requires a precharge period. Information in the logic is not destroyed even if the internal system clock is stopped during this precharge period. In other words, a period that can be called an information non-destructive period exists in the dynamic logic. The random logic of the dynamic system also includes a portion of static logic such as the aforementioned latch, and no information is destroyed even if the system clock is stopped during the period while necessary information exists in this static logic. In other words, the period called an information non-destructive period also exists in the random logic.
Taking the above-mentioned points into consideration, the present invention is to provide a microcomputer having both the advantage of the dynamic system being of small dimensions and large capacity and the advantage of low power consumption, by revising the conventional design of each dynamic circuit to prohibit the stopping of the system clocks during periods that would result in the destruction of information being stored.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a microcomputer of which all the system clocks can be stopped externally during a certain period by applying a level signal called a halt (HALT) signal to one of the input terminals of the microcomputer.
The system maintains the idle condition during which no operation is performed but the dynamic memory is refreshed. Power consumption during the conventional halt period remains the same as that in other conditions. The halt in the present invention lowers power consumption by reducing leakage current during the stopping of the system clocks used for the operation of the dynamic logic. The power consumption of 15 milliwatt (mW) which was necessary in the past for the dynamic logic even in the halt condition, can be lowered to 5 microwatt (μW) using the present invention.
Conventionally, the HALT operations is a result of software. In the present invention, the HALT operation is the result of an input from an external source allowing for an increase in speed of signal processing (since hardware replaces instruction processing).
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the minicomputer according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a timing diagram showing the operating condition of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an electrical circuit diagram of the HALT input circuitry and the system clocking circuitry shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 4 is a timing diagram of the circuits shown in FIG. 3.
The embodiment of the present invention is generally the same as the construction set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 3,991,305 assigned to Texas Instruments and said Patent being incorporated herein by reference. The system description for the microcomputer in this disclosure is the same as the one in U.S. Pat. No. 3,991,305 described in Column 4, line 40 to Column 9, line 26.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the whole of the microcomputer which is the embodiment of the present invention. In the diagram, a microcomputer 1 includes a read only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), an arithmetic circuit and a control circuit which are structured on a single semiconductor chip by a complementary type insulating gate transistor (C-MOS FET) integrated circuit. This microcomputer is of the type in which the gate mask is altered in the manufacturing process in accordance with the program made by a user in coding the fixed ROM inside the chip. The operations of the minicomputers are the same as that described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,991,305 (line 1, column 6 to line 26, column 9) hereby incorporated by reference.
ROM 2 which is built in the microcomputer 1 can store the instructions of 1024 words�8 bits. The operation of the elements within the microcomputer 1 are controlled by these instructions. The ROM 2 can be divided into 16 pages and each page can store 64 instructions. A program starts at predetermined address from an input from the power supply, and thereafter a program counter PC sequentially executes the ROM instructions of each page. The address of the page is contained in the page address register, PA. Conditional branch instructions or call subroutine instructions can alter the program counter. The operation of the program counter and the page address register is similar to the operation of the program counter and the page address register in U.S. Pat. No. 3,991,305, line 14, column 14-line 33, column 17. The ROM and ROM page address decoder are similar to the ROM and ROM page address decoder in U.S. Pat. No. 3,991,305, line 46, column 19, to line 68, column 20.
RAM 3 consists of address specificable 256 bits and is structured by four files of 16 words�4 bits. The RAM 3 is addressed by an X register XREG and a Y register YREG and the Y register is controlled by an arithmetic circuit 4 and specifies one word out of 16 words in one file. The microcomputer 1 has instructions "Compare the contents of Y with the constant.", "Set a constant in Y.", "Increase the contents of Y by 1.", "Reduce the contents of Y by 1.", "Transfer data to or from Y.", etc.
Two bits in the X register XREG select one of four files of the RAM 3. Either a constant or a complement is placed in the X register XREG, and a four bit data word is transferred to a RAM address (location) specified by the X register XREG and the Y register YREG, where the data word originates from a constant, accumulator ACC or the ROM 2. The output word from the RAM 3 is processed by the arithmetic circuit 4 and is transferred to the Y register YREG or the accumulator ACC with an interval of one instruction. All the bits in the RAM 3 can be set/reset or tested. The RAM is the same as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,991,305, line 49, column 9, to line 17, column 11. The X REG is the same as the RAM page address register described from line 15 to line 44, column 19 of the same patent.
Arithmetic and logical operations are executed by 4-bit adders and their AND circuit, and the arithmetic circuit compares logical operation, compares arithmetic operation and executes addition and subtraction. The ALU is the same as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,991,305, line 19, column 11 to line 54, column 12.
The microcomputer 1 includes eight data inputs of K1, K2, K4, K8 and L1, L2, L3, L4, which are multiplexed and guided to a 4-bit input bus. The microcomputer 1 further includes control inputs called K/L selector and mode selector. The K/L control input has an inside pulldown register and the K input is selected from there is no input or when the K/L input is at low level. When the K/L input is at high level, a 4-bit L input is selected. The remaining input circuitry is similar to the input circuitry disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,991,305, line 35, column 17 to line 12, column 19.
This microcomputer 1 has two output channels of R output and O output to suit multiple purposes. The R output is normally used to multiplex the input and is also used to synchronize the display output, external memory output or the O output as an output data. The output circuitry is similar to the output circuitry disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,991,305, line 8, Column 22 to line 29, Column 23.
Programmable instructions are defined by an instruction PLA 6. 32 programable input NAND gates decode 8-bit instructions. Each NAND gate output selects combination of 16 microinstructions. These 16 microinstructions control write inputs of the arithmetic and logical unit (ALU), status latch and RAM 3. The instruction PLA is similar to the capital data, capital path, capital control, PLA disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,991,305, line 56, column 12 to line 40, column 13.
Signal processing inside the microcomputer 1 is performed in synchronization with the system clocks (φX, φY, φZ in FIG. 4) that are generated by a clock generating circuit 5 based on the external clocks from terminals OSC 1 and OSC 2. It is one of the characteristics of the present invention to apply an input halt signal shown by HALT in FIG. 1 to the clock generating circuit 5 thereby stopping the system clocks from the clock generating circuit 5. This point will be described in detail later. The clock generating circuit 5 is illustrated in FIG. 3.
In the embodiment of the present invention, one instruction cycle consists of six clock cycles, and execution of instructions does not overlap instruction cycles. Actual machine cycle time is determined by the resistors and capacitors connected to the pins of the oscillator OSC 1 and the oscillator OSC 2 or the external clock input frequency applied to the oscillator OSC 1. As an example, an instruction cycle may be set from 6 to 120 μs and each clock cycle can be set to 1/6 thereof, that is 1 to 20 μs.
FIG. 2 shows a timing chart of the output, input and instructions in the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1. The diagram shows time flow from left to right as viewed in the drawing. The first instruction cycle shown on the left half is a fetch cycle for fetching the instruction N and is simultaneously an execute cycle for executing the preceding instruction. The second instruction cycle is a cycle for executing the instruction N fetched by the first instruction cycle and is simultaneously a cycle for fetching the next instruction (N+1). In the lower half of the diagram, various operation timings relating to the instruction N are described in correspondence with clock cycles T1 through T6.
In describing the instruction N, the addressing of the ROM is performed during the period from T1 to T3 of the first instruction cycle, and the address is fetched at T4. At T5 the program counter is updated and the branch call is executed. In the second instruction cycle, the instruction is executed over the period from T1 to T6, and the data of the RAM is read during the period from T1 to T3, written in the RAM at T4 and applied as input to the ALU at T3 and T4.
In the case of the present embodiment, the ROM 2, RAM 3, instructions PLA 6, etc. are constructed in a complete dynamic logic. As an example to show the condition of the instruction cycle of the complete dynamic logic, only the ROM and RAM are shown in FIG. 2. As can be observed clearly in FIG. 2, the system is so designed that at least a part of the precharge period of the ROM and RAM, which are the complete dynamic logic, are overlapped with the timing of T6. The random logic of other dynamic systems is also so designed, as shown in FIG. 2 for the ALU as an example. When it is necessary to store information during the halt period (i.e., information that is not held by the gate floating capacity) the information is placed in the static logic. Those portions of the waveforms of the ROM, RAM and random logic shown by the thick lines indicate the afore-mentioned precharge period and information storable period.
FIG. 3 shows the clock generating circuit 5 in the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1. This circuit is formed on the semiconductor substrate as a part of a large scale integrated circuit (LSI) and as a part of the microcomputer 1 shown in FIG. 1 and includes an oscillating input terminals OSC 1 and OSC 2, halt signal input terminal HALT, oscillating circuit 54, hexadecimal counter 55 structured by a transfer gate, and a clock output circuit 56. The output signals φX, φY and φZ produced from the clock output circuit 56 are supplied to almost all the circuits of the microcomputer shown in FIG. 1 and form basic system clocks to control time. The wiring arrangements of the output circuit 56 and the supply destination of these system clocks are omitted in FIG. 1 in accordance with the custom.
In the embodiment of the present invention, it is no designed that high-level halt signals are received only during the period from T2 to T4 of the execute cycle by the halt signal gate circuit 7 of FIG. 3. In other words, even if halt signals are generated at T5 and T6, halt is not accepted until T2 of the next cycle. Thus, by not allowing halt signal inputs during T5 or T6, it is possible to eliminate an uncertainty of the system caused by the delayed signal in the system.
In FIG. 3, signals shown in FIG. 4(a) and (b) are supplied from the external oscillator to the oscillating circuit 54 via the oscillating input terminals OSC 1 and OSC 2, respectively. When a low-level signal (for example the VSS level) is in the input terminal 53 of the halt signal, this microcomputer continues normal operation, and conversely when a high-level (for example the VDD level) signal enters the input terminal 53, the halt stops the computer.
When a low-level signal is coupled to the halt signal input terminal HALT, in other words when the halt function is not working, the oscillating signals shown in FIG. 4(a) and (b) enter the oscillating circuit 54 and pass through the hexadecimal counter 55 and the clock output circuit 56 so that the system clocks φX, φY and φZ shown in FIG. 4(c), (d) and (e) are produced as outputs. In the present invention, only three clocks φX, φY and φZ are used to produce basic clock signals to operate each circuit, so that timing from T1 to T6 is obtained from the combination of the system clocks φX, φY and φZ.
When the halt signal of high level enters the input terminal HALT of FIG. 3, the output operation of the oscillating circuit 54 stops. If the halt was allowed irrespective of the timings T1 to T6, the position to accumulate information could not be specified. To avoid this drawback, the present invention provides the halt signal gate circuit 7 to restrict the exercise of the halt signal to one of the timing signals (φZ in case of the present embodiment) and produces an input at NOR circuit 57 so that halt signals are accepted only at the predetermined optional timings (T2 to T4 in case of the present embodiment) out of the six timings of T1 to T6 in one instruction cycle. In the case of the present embodiment, a signal enters from the hexadecimal counter 55 to the NOR circuit 57 at the timing equivalent to T6 so that the halt function does not work at T6 which is the final timing of the instruction cycle as described before. In the case of the present embodiment, HALT, φX and φY are applied to the NOR circuit 57 and a particular timing T6 in the instruction cycle is determined by φX and φY. When HALT, φX, φY and φZ are all "0", the halt function is executed. Since a halt signal is accepted only during the period from T2 to T4, the system can be stopped stably.
Since the system is built so that the information within the dynamic circuit is in the static logic at a specific timing T6 when this halt operation is executed, necessary information is maintained even if the system clocks are stopped. It is thus possible to obtain a high density integration in small dimensions, which is the advantage of the dynamic logic, and to keep, without destruction, the information within the circuit structured by the complementary type insulating gate FET by using this halt junction implementation and thereby reducing the power consumption to an extremely low level.
Although the term, C-MOS is used in the present specification, the present invention is not limited to the FET of a metal gate and it is obvious that the present invention can be applied to an FET of a metal gate, a silicon gate or other types of gate. Further, the term, complementary type or C-MOS is used in wide meaning in the present specification. Namely, for example, the term may also imply that the P channel MOS and the N channel MOS employed for ROM etc. are manufactured separately but the circuit as a whole uses both the P channel MOS and the N channel MOS.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Robert F. Christy, a former California Institute of Technology professor who helped design the trigger mechanism for the atomic bombs used in World War II, died Wednesday. He was 96.
Christy died of natural causes at his home in Pasadena, surrounded by his family, according to Caltech spokeswoman Deborah Williams-Hedges.
Christy was one of the early recruits to the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos Laboratory, a U.S. government research project to develop atomic weapons during the war. He was hand-picked to join by his University of California, Berkeley, professor J. Robert Oppenheimer, with whom Christy studied quantum mechanics.
The Canadian native devised what came to be known as the Christy bomb or Christy gadget, a plutonium implosion device.
Born in Vancouver, Christy showed mathematical prowess early in his schooling and skipped grades to graduate from the University of British Columbia when he was 19, according to a 1994 interview recorded in Caltech's archives.
Before the Manhattan Project began, Christy researched with the era's leading physicists, including Italian Enrico Fermi and Hungarian Eugene Wigner.
"What I was told was that they were trying to make a chain reaction. And the purpose of the chain reaction — well, it might be to drive submarines, or whatever. I was not told about bombs at the time," Christy said in the 1994 interview.
When the first bomb was tested at Los Alamos, Christy said everyone was pleased to have succeeded in the experiment, but a month later, when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, it was a very sobering experience.
"There had been bombs dropped on cities. There had been firestorms, and so forth. I believe people nowadays don't realize that in war your objective is to beat the enemy. And unfortunately, mostly that involves killing a lot of the enemy to do that. So war is a very bloody thing," Christy said. "I felt then that although this was a terrible event, it probably saved many, many more Japanese lives. They probably would have lost millions if they had had to defend themselves against an invasion."

Most of us are aware by now that Franklin Regional High School, near Pittsburgh, was recently the site of a terrible act of violence. That district also happens to be my home school. There, I had the good fortune to learn under the tutelage of many superb educators. The tragic consequences of the human condition struck home for me, as I'm sure they have for the families of Chardon, Columbine, Sandy Hook, and just last week for the parents and students of Liberty Elementary in Columbus.
Yet I also caught a glimpse, through the news feeds, of humankind at its finest and bravest: Principal Sam King—a good man whom I remember from my high-school days—helping to disarm the assailant and young men and women casting themselves into harm's way to save each other's lives. The light of men shone through, even in the darkest moment. My prayers and best wishes go out to my alma mater....
We invite you to check out our new Ohio Gadfly daily news blog posts, rounding up the most relevant education news stories from around the state and serving them up with a side of Fordham-style commentary by yours truly.
Here's a taste of what we were commenting on last week:
Elsewhere in this issue, I write at length about my take on last week's event talking about Ohio's Third Grade Reading Guarantee and what it means to students in Columbus. As you read, the mantra was "all hands on deck," even while hosts and presenters and audience members alike betrayed a worrying language of "reading is hard" and "tests are icky" that could easily undo a ton of great work.
And it didn't stop at the door of the event.
Case in point: the Columbus Dispatch's coverage of this event, which comprised two subtly different stories by the same journalist.
So maybe this is just perception, or maybe I'm being too sensitive,...
The proposal of a few members of the state legislature to increase the transparency around charter schools is a fine idea. But their allegation that charters "waste" public funds—apparently without acknowledging the infirmity of Ohio's urban districts—is shameful discourse that conceals the woeful facts about public schools in urban areas, where most charters reside.
Consider the Columbus Dispatch's report of what two lawmakers had to say about charters.
The lawmakers say increased scrutiny of spending is needed because 87 percent of charters received a D or F on recent state report cards.
"These changes are urgently needed to ensure that our school children receive the education they deserve and that tax dollars are not wasted," Schiavoni said.
Carney noted that after excluding dropout recovery and special-needs charter schools – which many agree should not be held to the same standard – nearly $500 million went to failing charters last year.
Granted, $500 million per year is a large amount of public funds and again, let me be clear, charter schools must show a return on that public investment. But why don't we put this figure into perspective, in light of what we know about Ohio's large...
Welcome to Ohio Education News, a new daily roundup of stories from news outlets across Ohio in blog form from the Thomas B. Fordham Institute. Hopefully delivered with just a little bit of Fordham-style commentary.
Comments welcome below.
School boards matter. Indeed, in Fordham's new report Do School Boards Matter? researchers found that knowledgeable, hard-working boards that prioritize student achievement govern higher-performing districts. Perhaps this is no surprise, particularly given the wide-ranging authority of boards. In Ohio, school boards' statutory powers include prescribing curriculum, appointing a treasurer and superintendent, creating a school schedule, and entering into labor contracts with teachers. Meanwhile, we in Columbus have painfully observed what happens when a school board fails to exercise diligent oversight.
School boards, then, can be potent entities (or dismally impotent ones). But does anyone care about them?
To dig into this question, I look at the November 2013 school-board elections for Franklin County. The county has a nice mix of districts, including one big-city district (Columbus) and a number of both high- and low-wealth suburban districts. I look at three data points: The number of contested seats, voter turnout rates, and "undervotes" among those who actually went to the polls. This slice of data portrays a general air of apathy among the electorate toward school boards.
First, when it comes to competition for seats, many of the seats went uncontested. Remarkably, there...

Types of car insurance coverage
No matter what kind of vehicle you are insuring you can choose various levels of coverage, depending on how much protection you want for your car insurance:
- Collision and Upset coverage protects you from costs to repair damage to your vehicle caused by impact with another vehicle or an object such as a guardrail.
- Coverage against perils (other than collision or upset) protects you from costs to repair damage to your vehicle from unexpected situations such as fire, theft, vandalism or natural disasters.
- All Perils protection combines both of the above coverages.
- Specific Perils coverage protects your vehicle only against specific dangers, such as theft or attempted theft, some natural disasters, riots or civil disturbances.
Car Insurance Coverage Based on Your Vehicle
Car insurance liability coverage is mandatory for driving in Canada. Beyond that, there are other options to consider for your ideal coverage.
Learn more on car insurance coverage based on your vehicle
The type of vehicle you drive is one factor that determines what type of car insurance you need.
If you own a brand new car, for example, you may want your insurance policy to cover the full replacement cost in the event of an accident.
Car Insurance Coverage Based on Your Driving Habits
Do you commute every day, or save your driving for weekends? Are you running errands or carpooling?

Dear readers,
After four years, and with a heavy heart, I'm moving on from Art F City and probably the art world at large.
Once the sidewalks are shoveled, we have no excuse. AFC's Paddy Johnson curated a show; Busby Berkeley screens at Light Industry; politicians will be confronted about gentrification, among other picks.

Those in search of a definitive text on post-internet artmaking now have a source book to download. Curators Karen Archey and Robin Peckham have released Art Post-Internet, a catalogue to accompany their show Art Post-Internet at the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing China. More than that, it's full of primary source research and information about post-internet art from dozens of critics, curators and museum professionals. These include Christiane Paul, Ben Davis, Domenico Quaranta and myself to name a few. Each catalog receives its own unique unique download number, as well as a weather report for the day and place where it was downloaded.
With Monopolart, Jen Catron and Paul Outlaw have outdone themselves again. Tonight we'll be taking the air out of the high-end art world by yelling from the critics corner.

The device has certainly got my interest, now that you guys have educated me, on the limited functionality of the PCV, as compared to how it works on other bikes.
The XIED creates a new reference point. Rather than changing from rich to lean voltage at 14.7:1 you can select other ratios. Once you do the BMSK uses what it learns during closed loop (cruising) operation to adjust Open Loop fueling.
It turns out that a slightly richer cruise creates a better roll-on throttle response as well.
As far as mileage goes from the richer cruise, about half the added fuel is used to produce power and half goes out the tailpipe. So if you add 6% fuel mileage at high cruise >65 MPH goes down about 3% but for speeds below that you will often run a higher gear and get better mileage.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Synopsis GeNext is the name given to the rag tag team of adolescents who have banded together to sand up for each other. The team is never officially named in its ten issues and two mini-series of appearance though. The team is more unconventional in some respects than the X-men. All the characters fit a particular mold or requirement of a team/X-Men book but their motivations are very different. In the first series they debuted in they were simply friends looking for the runaway mutant No-Name after she mysteriously disappeared. Only one member really has any heroic intentions;Pavel, and by the second series they are given a choice as to what they want to do with their lives which is very different than any x-men team before as hey were always gathered to try to promote peaceful coexistence and battle evil mutants. The core team has remained the same throughout both series with minor characters helping out occasionally. Notes Every member of the team is a minor and current student of the Xavier Institute for higher learning.

Libraries ponder cuts, fees due to state reductions
"We're going to have to look at all sorts of alternative funding," Aponte said.
As the debate unfolds, questions will likely be raised over why taxpayers should be tapped in an era of e-books, the Internet and mega-bookstores.
"I don't blame anyone for asking that question," said Waznis, but added "The days of libraries just being a book warehouse are long gone."
Aponte pressed that point, especially given these rocky financial times.
"People don't have jobs. They're losing their homes and they are running out of money. Where do they turn? Our libraries," Aponte said.
Job seekers line up to use computers to prepare resumes and research opportunities. Those with reading challenges take literacy courses. Pro-bono attorneys provide advice in meeting rooms, Aponte said.
He said a large number of patrons are seniors or people who do not have the means to buy new books or pay Internet connection fees.
Visits and circulation at county libraries were up dramatically over the past five years. Total circulation (books, videos, DVDs and other items) was 10.8 million last year compared to 4.1 million in 2005. Visits were 5.7 million last year compared to 3.8 million in 2005.
Brown's budget targets three library programs: $12.9 million mostly used for books and materials; $12.9 million in reimbursements for libraries that lend books outside their service area and a $4.6 million literacy program.
The Oceanside City Council trimmed library funding by $1.12 million, representing a 20 percent reduction this fiscal year, according to Deborah Polich, library director.
If Brown's budget library budget is enacted, Oceanside will lose $61,000 out of its materials budget, a 20 percent cut. And Oceanside would also not receive $18,888 for its literacy programs, a 34 percent cut.
"It would be devastating," Polich said.
This is not the first clash between Brown and libraries.
During his earlier tenure as governor in 1980, Brown vetoed legislation carried by Nielsen, the lawmaker, that would have provided $18 million to libraries to partially offset the loss of revenues after Proposition 13 slashed local property taxes used to finance libraries.
In his veto message, Brown suggested that the sate's resources were strained by sending a cumulative $44 billion to cities and counties as part of a four-year bailout program.
"Although I recognize the fundamental importance of libraries in this state and the inherent merit of this bill... state government is perilously close to an unbalanced budget," Brown wrote in his Sept. 30, 1980 veto message.
The veto irritated libraries, particularly since Brown at the same time had signed a tax break for the horse-racing industry for about the same amount of money. Under pressure, Brown approved more money for libraries two years later by signing a second bill authored by Nielsen.

Meet Detective Chief Inspector John Luther. He's a murder detective. He's brilliant; he's intense; he's instinctive. And yet there are rumours that DCI Luther is bad - not corrupt, but tormented.
The first in a new series of novels featuring DCI John Luther takes us into Luther's past and into his mind. It is the story of the case that tore his personal and professional relationships apart, and propelled him over the precipice.
©2011 Neil Cross (P)2011 W F Howes Ltd
"A very dark introduction to Luther"
I decided to read this before starting to watch the BBC TV series with Idris Elba. There is a lot to like about this book, the characters on the police side are well formed, the performance is solid and the pacing is good.
My understanding of the tv series is that Luther pushes the boundaries and is a dark character and given this book is written after the tv series to try and explain (prologue) the Luther character I think the author has gone overboard in the violence and nature of the crime Luther is investigating which detracts from the story (and I have read a lot of crime novels).
"brings Luther to life. great prequel to the show"
Well done on Luthers voice.great prequel to the show and gives good insight to the first episode of the first season
Don't know but it makes you squirm. Quite graphic detail of how he kills the baby sitter and the family and kids. Not for faint hearted. I like some sick stuff but this was just on my threshold. Be warned but great if you love the show
Luther voice was spot on and being a fan of the show you can imagine it very well
Extreme squirming while driving. The kill scenes shouldn't be played out loud with kids or girlfriend in the car
Great for fans.
"Called to justice."
A tall and intuitive detective follows leads, but not necessarily the rules, to obtain a just solution.The story leaps between characters telling it, and without any element of instruction, also fills in the reasons for the original action. Some nasty killings, but carefully explained. Great narration means the detectives are never confused; they are all clearly delineated. The ending was never in doubt - just how long it would take Luther to solve it, and how much paperwork he would have to sort out afterwards was left to your imagination. Has a filmic quality to it. Sorry to have finished it.
"Just as good as the TV adaptation"
I really enjoyed Luther. A great story and I really empathised with Luther and his need to keep going on the job despite his personal life falling apart. Would like some more please? Could we have some Alice too? The interaction with Luther and her was too good not to be included in the audio book.
"Gripping and compelling."
The only criticism I have is the narrators voice for Luther was....well...not right is all I can say, the rest however was superb. The story is compelling and sad, with hints of "oh my gosh!!!!"
"this was my first introduction"
this was my first introduction to Luther. it was quite graphic but the story was gripping.
"Another sad detective"
Luther is a detective with so many problems that it would be kinder for his superiors to send him into whole time psychotherapy. It might even work and save his marriage if he really wanted to change his sloppy life style.
As it is he is given a case which he very nearly cocks up, along with his marriage. Too much incompetence!
The narration was as good as it could be so well done David Bauckham.
"Did not finish"
I could not get into this book. I found the book had much profanity and explicit language that did not add value to the story line. Certainly not a book to have on around the house when you have kids around. The book was well read by David Bauckham just I found the content uninspiring.

Students must continue to make satisfactory progress toward their degrees. Unsatisfactory grades and unprofessional conduct are areas that may warrant review for possible termination from their programs.
Specifically, students may not present courses receiving less than a C for fulfilling degree requirements.
At the end of each semester, graduate faculty advisers and program directors will review the academic progress of all graduate students in their programs. The academic standing of any graduate students who receive multiple grades of C or grades of D or F will be reviewed for possible termination from their programs. Although the grade of U is not included in the calculation of the graduate GPA, graduate students who receive one or more grades of U will be considered for possible termination.
Students who have completed all minimum degree requirements but who are out of compliance with minimum graduation requirements (i.e., graduate grade-point average, 20 percent C or below, 50 percent 500-/600-level course work, etc.), may be allowed, with the permission of their graduate faculty advisers, program directors, academic deans/dean designees and the Graduate School to take additional course work to meet minimum University Graduate Council graduation requirements. Requests for such actions must be processed via the special action form according to the instructions articulated in the Exceptions policy in the Graduate Bulletin. Students will have a maximum of one calendar year to complete such additional requirements. At the end of that time, if students are still out of compliance, they must be terminated from the program for lack of academic progress.

A Certified Arborist is an educated specialist in the maintaining of trees. The selection of a tree care provider is a significant decision. Neglected trees can become a hazardous liability, while cared for trees can increase your property value aesthetically and financially.
However, tree work is dangerous and should be performed by a properly equipped, trained and insured provider.
Structural pruning is often the most important strategy in providing for sound growth habits, especially in our urban environments.
As your tree care provider, we will determine appropriate measures to maintain or improve the health, appearance, and/or safety of your trees.
Recommendations for removal will be assessed based on specific criteria and knowledge. We can perform necessary work and reduce property damage potential or eliminate diseased specimens.
The right tree in the appropriate location can provide many years of enjoyment. Selection assistance can also minimize maintenance and certain disease/insect problems.
Integrated pest management and proper fertilization can often extend the life of trees especially during establishment and mature stages. We are able to assess your trees' needs.
Macro and Micro Nutrients that are essential to your trees and shrubs are injected under pressure right to the plants root zone in a slow release form. We can customize a fertilizer to meet your property's specific needs by testing your soil to determine deficiencies.
Our spray applications can control and prevent problems with your trees and shrubs. These applications can be administered systemically or topically depending on the specific conditions involving your landscape.
Some chemicals are difficult to safely or effectively apply with traditional methods. Newer technology allows us to administer a variety of treatments internally without affecting the surrounding environment. These treatments vary from fungicide applications to suppress Oak Wilt infection to plant growth regulators that inhibit undesirable seed production.

Toronto Raptors forward Andrea Bargnani is expected to miss the rest of the season with an elbow injury. Bargnani sprained his right elbow in the first quarter of Toronto's 118-116 road loss to the Los Angeles Lakers last Friday night and did not return. The Raptors said the injury is not related to Bargnani's previous right elbow ailment that forced the 27-year-old Italian to miss 26 games between Dec. 12 and Feb. 3. Before this injury, Bargnani had appeared in 14 of 15 games, including four straight starts. The 7-foot, 256-pound Bargnani did not travel with the team to Boston, where the Raptors are scheduled to face the Celtics on Wednesday night.

One of the holiest places on earth, Vaishnodevi in Jammu nestles at an altitude of 5300 ft above sea level. The shrine lies 12 km away from the base camp of Katra. Devotees need to undertake a trek from the Katra to reach the temple. The presiding deity- Mata Vaishno Devi resides inside a sacred cave in the slopes of the Trikuta mountains.
Millions of pilgrims from different corners of the country and abroad visit this temple every year to offer prayers to the Goddess. Vaishnodevi Temple is one of the most significant Shakti Peeths of Goddess Durga. A holy and lengthy Aarti of the Goddess is performed two times a day in the temple. Darshans are kept on hold during the hours of Aarti.
3 Nights Delhi (1) → Katra (2)
5 Nights Katra (2) → Srinagar (3)

There are quite a good number of shops near the temple from where items like bangles, chunnis, laminated photographs of Mata Vaishnodevi, CDs of Aarti and Kashmiri shawls can be purchased. Gold and silver coins having the image of the goddess engraved on one side and that of the Holy Pindies on the other are remarkable souvenirs. Water bottles can also be bought so that pilgrims can fill them with Holy water flowing out of the Holy Cave. The Shrine Board has set some local shops from where above mentioned mementos can be purchased at affordable rates. Bhawan, Vaishnavi Dham, Adkuwari and Sanjichhat are important places of shopping in the area.More
There are many refreshment units and eating joints that have been established by the Shrine Board. The refreshment units serve cold-drinks, milk, tea, mineral water, biscuits and coffee to pilgrims. A variety of Indian dishes are served at reasonable rates at the restaurants of Batote, a nearby place.More
The main purpose of a visit to Vaishnodevi shrine is for darshan and offering prayers to the goddess. Besides the main temple, there is another important religious site called Ragunath Mandir, where devotees flock in from distant places. Dedicated to Lord Ram, this temple complex is considered to be one of the largest in the northern part of Indian Subcontinent.
For adventure-seekers, an excursion to Batote can be highly rewarding. Close to the holy cave of Vaishnodevi, spectacular hilltop locations of Sanasar and Patnitop are located, which command attention.
By Road: Jammu and Kashmir State Road Transport Corporation as well as several private operators provide bus services from Katra and Jammu to many important North Indian cities.
By Rail: The nearest railway station to Vaishnodevi is located at Jammu. Trains from all the major Indian cities arrive at this station at regular intervals.
By Air: Jammu Airport, located at a distance of 50 km from Katra, is the nearest airbase.
Perched high at an altitude of 5300 ft, Vaishnodevi witnesses freezing cold weather during winters. During monsoon, mud slides are very common. Summers are pleasant, and maximum pilgrims arrive here for darshan during this season. The best time to visit this holy shrine is from the month of March to October.More

Critical Essay by D. H. Lawrence
[In Our Time] does not pretend to be about one man. But it is. It is as much as we need know of the man's life. The sketches are short, sharp, vivid, and most of them excellent. (The "mottoes" in front seem a little affected.) And these few sketches are enough to create the man and all his history: we need know no more.
Nick is a type one meets in the more wild and woolly regions of the United States. He is the remains of the lone trapper and cowboy. Nowadays he is educated, and through with everything. It is a state of conscious, accepted indifference to everything except freedom from work and the moment's interest. Mr. Hemingway does it extremely well. Nothing matters. Everything happens.

Product Details
Economic Insecurity and Development
Release Date: February, 2011
Sales Number: 11.II.C.3
256 page(s), 6x9
Binding: Paperback
Publisher: United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs
A growing sense of increased economic insecurity has emerged worldwide. Though many parts of the world have seen increasing prosperity in recent decades, economic progress has been accompanied by highly volatile markets, rising inequality, greater job insecurity, and weakening or non-existent social protection. Concerns about income security have been compounded by new global threats like climate change and increasingly destructive natural disasters. The global financial crisis revealed the potentially devastating risks of inadequately regulated markets. Until recently, these heightened economic risks have often been met with the response that the forces behind them are autonomous and irresistible, beyond our collective political control. This book argues that such complacency is the wrong response to increasing levels of economic insecurity. Instead, it calls for more active and integrated policy responses.

A man accused of forcing his way into a New London apartment in February with a piece of metal rebar had been living under the porch of the Garfield Avenue home and may have been attempting to help the landlord collect rent that was past due, according to a court document.
Hector Ortega, a 30-year-old Guatamalan native with no certain address, has been held in lieu of $50,000 bond since New London police charged him Feb. 13 with home invasion, first-degree burglary, second-degree assault, carrying a dangerous weapon, second-degree reckless endangerment and second-degree criminal mischief.
According to a police report, a woman called 911 after Ortega shoved his way into the apartment at 49 Garfield Ave., struck the male tenant with a 24-inch metal bar and broke several items. The woman said Ortega had been living under the porch.
The victim, who had a bloody mouth, a swollen lip and abrasions on his arms, told police he managed to get on top of Ortega and drag him out of the apartment. The metal bar that Ortega allegedly used in the attack was found on the lawn, according to police, who said they also recovered two 24-inch machetes from a bag belonging to Ortega.
Ortega told the police he worked for the landlord, who allowed him to sleep under the porch. He said the landlord told him the tenant had not paid rent and that he went to the apartment to "fix the problem."
Police said they spoke to the landlord, who said she didn't know anything about the man living under the porch.
Ortega made his first appearance Tuesday in the New London courtroom where major crimes are heard. Speaking through a Spanish interpreter, Ortega said he was unsure about his date of birth. The judge appointed attorney Kevin C. Barrs to represent Ortega and asked Barrs to verify his client's identity. Barrs said Ortega is from Guatemala, attended school only to the third grade and has been working since.
Ortega's next court date is May 7.

Pirin delocalization in melanoma progression identified by high content immuno-detection based approaches

BMC Cell Biology 2010, 11:5 doi:10.1186/1471-2121-11-5Published: 20 January 2010
Pirin (PIR) is a highly conserved nuclear protein originally isolated as an interactor of NFI/CTF1 transcription/replication factor. It is a member of the functionally diverse cupin superfamily and its activity has been linked to different biological and molecular processes, such as regulation of transcription, apoptosis, stress response and enzymatic processes. Although its precise role in these functions has not yet been defined, PIR expression is known to be deregulated in several human malignancies.
We performed immunohistochemical analysis of PIR expression in primary samples from normal human tissues and tumors and identified a dislocation of PIR to the cytoplasm in a subset of melanomas, and a positive correlation between cytoplasmic PIR levels and melanoma progression. PIR localization was subsequently analyzed in vitro in melanoma cell lines through a high content immunofluorescence based approach (ImmunoCell-Array).
The high consistency between in vivo and in vitro results obtained by immunohistochemistry and ImmunoCell-Array provides a validation of the potential of ImmunoCell-Array technology for the rapid screening of putative biological markers, and suggests that cytoplasmic localization of PIR may represent a characteristic of melanoma progression.
