A computer aided design system for electronic digital circuitry allows the circuit designer to design a circuit using high level block components, The designer specifies data type and precision (bus width) parameters as desired for whichever circuit blocks and/or busses he desires, Then the system propagates the data types and precision throughout the design automatically to achieve circuit-wide consistency, The system can also be used to verify a circuit design for data type and bus width consistency, The system can also be used to determine the mode of operation for the circuit blocks in the circuit.

The invention relates to computer-aided engineering, and more particularly to specification of information about a circuit design for simulating and verifying the design or implementing the design in a digital logic circuit.
Schematic capture is a well known process in computer aided engineering for converting a schematic drawing generated by a designer into a format which can be processed by a computer. Commercially available schematic capture software packages allow a designer to communicate the design to a computer without having to enter the design in a form cumbersome for the designer but readable by the computer. A schematic capture package typically converts the interconnected set of functional components to a net list (a list of components and interconnections between these components) which can be further manipulated by other computer programs to perform a design function desired by a designer.
One function for which schematic capture can be used is to program a field programmable logic array chip to perform the logic or arithmetic task indicated by the design. Another function is to simulate or verify the design and test it to determine whether the design will perform as the designer intended. Other functions are the synthesis of new design implementations from the original circuit design.
Typical schematic capture packages have included a library of primitive components, such as Boolean AND, XOR, flipflop, etc., which the designer may place onto a schematic diagram presented on a computer display and interconnect with lines to form a logic design. However, designers frequently think in terms of higher level logic/arithmetic functions to be performed, for example counters, adders, registers and multiplexers. Entering a design directly in terms of the higher level logic operations which the design is to perform is more convenient and intuitive for a designer than is entering the logic design in terms of primitive AND, flipflop gates, etc.
Data Type
Certain high level arithmetic functional components such as adder, register, and counter are frequently used. Related patent application Ser. No. 07/785,659, filed concurrently with the present application, entitled Generating Logic Modules for a High Level Digital Circuit Design, describes a method for implementing certain high level functional components directly input by a designer in a digital logic circuit without involving the intermediate step of generating primitive schematic diagrams. These high level functions typically operate on values of more than one digit, and the values are typically passed on buses. The bus width is preferably selected by the designer, in which case the bus width must be specified by the designer when entering the schematic design using high level components. Further, digital circuit designers use several data type conventions for performing computer math, for example analog, unsigned binary, signed binary, and 2's complement. A string of 1's and 0's has a different meaning for a 2's complement data type than for an unsigned binary data type. There are also non-arithmetic data types for representing characters and graphical images, for example. If data are generated in one part of a logic design in one data type and fed to another portion the logic design which expects and processes the data as another data type, an error will result or the data will be misinterpreted. Thus data types must be consistent or at least compatible.
Further, a bus for transferring data from one part of a computer to another or from one part of a single chip to another may be of a different width than another bus. (Here the word "bus" means a single line as well as a group of lines.) When a field programmable gate array chip is configured to perform an arithmetic function, the width of the bus must be specified by the software which configures the chip, and the width of a bus which will carry the output of a numeric calculation must be sufficient to carry the full precision of the number. For example, a bus which receives the sum output of a 16-bit adder must be 16 bits wide.
In general, it is important that the data types and bus widths be consistent or at least compatible throughout the design.
Prior art methods for programming a logic design into a chip which will implement the design have not included means for checking the data type for consistency. Designers who fail to design with consistency thus risk incurring errors in the design and may have to correct the design before it functions properly to achieve the desired result.
The only prior art methods for checking data type are those which distinguish between a single conductive line and a multi-line bus and check that the width of (number of conductors in) a bus are consistent--but not that the processing units are consistent in terms of data type. Those that do check have required the designer to enter data type at every node of the design, making the process extremely cumbersome.
According to the present invention, a method is provided for entering the data type on one or more of each of the circuit module interface ports and buses, propagating the data type from a circuit node where it is entered by a designer to all other appropriate points in the circuit design where consistency is required according to characteristics of the functional circuit elements (modules) and busses in the logic design, and for checking consistency and completeness of data type entered by a designer and for specifying the style of operation of the functional elements specified by the designer in the logic design.
The invention makes it easy for a designer to specify parameters of the design and to avoid errors of data type consistency in entering the design and to change or revise a circuit design created according to these methods.
Module Master Templates
In order to check for consistency and to propagate data type information to other points of the design, the method provides a module "master template" for each function which can be specified by the designer. A master template is a set of rules and equations for each function. It specifies how a known data type on one port on an instance of that function translates to a data type on a second port of that function.
To specify the circuit design, which may be used for example to configure a logic array chip, the designer specifies functional components (modules) from the library of allowed functional components, and specifies how they are interconnected. "Components" here includes modules, and also more primitive circuit elements, but not buses. Then, at convenient locations in the logic design, the designer specifies the bus or functional component widths and the data types to be used.
In response, a computer program which receives the information applies to the functional components those rules which are stored as part of the associated master template. These rules:
1. translate and propagate designer-specified bus widths and data types to appropriate input/output ports on functional circuit components according to the master template rules,
2. check whether the data type specified by the designer for a port of a functional component is allowable on or compatible with that port of that master template,
3. propagate information specified about one port of the functional component to other ports of the functional component, according to the master template rules,
4. propagate information about the functional component ports onto buses attached to the functional component ports, and
5. propagate information from buses onto ports of the functional component.
The data type information continues to propagate through the circuit design according to the rules specified in the master templates until no further propagation can occur. The direction of the flow of data type information through the circuit design is independent of the flow of data through the circuit design. The data types are checked for consistency and completeness. If data types are incomplete (i.e., more information on data types are needed) or inconsistent, an error message is generated for the designer, who then corrects or completes the data. When no errors are present, the data types may be used to generate logic modules according to related patent application Ser. No. 07/785,659. The generated modules are then used to configure a logic array chip to perform the specified function, to simulate the function, or in other ways to obtain a physical circuit. For instance, the data type propagation method could be used to specify a circuit design for an ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) or a custom integrated circuit design for subsequent fabrication.
The rules of the master template of a functional component are specific for each functional module. For example, if the designer specifies an adder module whose output is stored in a register and specifies that the A input to the adder is unsigned binary arithmetic with a precision of 16 bits, the master template for the adder module will propagate the unsigned binary, precision 16 data type of the A input port to the B input port and to the sum port, thereby specifying that these ports will all handle unsigned binary numbers, will specify that the carry output will be an unsigned binary digit, will specify that a binary digit will be output from the carry output port, and will specify that 16-bit buses will connect to the A, B, and sum ports. Further, the master template for a register will propagate the derived data type of the bus connecting the adder and the register to the register input and output ports (without the designer having to specify the data type or bus width for the register), thereby inferring that the register will handle unsigned binary data, and that the output of the register will be unsigned binary data carried on a 16-bit bus. If the designer has also specified the data type of the register output bus, the program will check that the data type and precision specified by the designer agrees with the data type and precision propagated from the adder input.
Take another example, a multiplexer. When a field programmable gate array chip is configured to multiplex several numbers, the number of select bits for controlling the multiplexer must be sufficient to select from the plurality of input bits provided. (As is well known, the formula for the relationship between input bits and select bits is i≦2S where i is the number of input bits and s is the number of select bits assuming an unsigned binary encoding of the select port.) If both the number of input bits and the precision of the select port are specified by the designer, the method will check to see that these numbers are consistent. If the designer specifies the number of input bits, the precision of the select port will be calculated. If the designer specifies the precision of the select port, a range of inputs bits will be calculated, and an exact number of input bits will have to be provided by the designer or propagated from another part of the circuit design.
Thus the method allows a designer to input with minimum manual effort a design which is internally consistent as to data types. Further, if the designer wishes to revise an earlier entry, for example to change the data type or its precision for a bus, it is possible to make this change by changing only a single parameter on a bus or functional component. The software again checks and propagates the designer's new input so that it may be used to reconfigure the chip with the new bus data type and precision.
It is to be understood that the method in accordance with the invention is applicable to all digital circuit design (and by extension to analog circuit design) including all integrated circuits and higher level circuits including circuits composed of a plurality of integrated circuits.

FIG. 2 shows an overview diagram of a field programmable logic array chip which is advantageously configured using the data type propagation method of the present invention.
FIG. 3 shows in more detail one corner of the diagram of FIG. 2, and includes interconnect lines, interconnect elements, and switch boxes.
FIG. 4 shows in more detail an input/output block indicated by a box in FIGS. 2 and 3.
FIG. 5 shows in more detail a configurable logic block indicated by a box in FIGS. 2 and 3.
FIG. 6 shows the overview diagram of FIG. 2 including the fast carry interconnect lines available for implementing arithmetic functions using adjacent logic blocks.
The data type propagation method and system of the present invention is especially useful when designing electronic digital circuitry with high level logic functional components.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the system at step 12 a designer generates a logic diagram using a schematic editor such as FutureNet, Cadence, VIEWlogic, OrCAD, or Mentor (102) or by the translation from a textual or other graphical language (103). A schematic editor allows the designer to represent the logic design in symbols on a computer monitor screen, and to draw lines between functional components to indicate the interconnections between the functional components. The logic design is read into the editor at step 102. If a particular functional component is supported by a module master template (drawn from a library of such templates) which tells subsequent software how to implement that functional component in the hardware, the designer may represent that functional component by a simple block in the schematic diagram. Functional components may also be represented by the designer in the schematic diagram by primitive Boolean functions. During the process in step 102 or 103 of generating the logic diagram, the designer enters data specifying data type and precision at any desired points on the circuit schematic.
After the designer has completed the design, the schematic editor or synthesis program (104) generates an output file at step 105 in a netlist format which can be used to analyze the logic design, simulate the circuit, create a custom chip, or program a programmable device to implement the design. In the present embodiment, the output file is intended for programming a commercially available Xilinx field programmable gate array chip and is called a Xilinx netlist file or XNF file.
Thus included in the input provided to the schematic editor (FutureNet, Cadence, etc., by the designer) or hardware description language in addition to logic symbols and interconnect lines, according to the present invention, is information specifying data type and precision. Step 18 converts the net list format into a format that makes it easier to perform the data type propagation method and the following steps.
Data-Type and Width Propagation Save Labor
As an important feature of the present invention, the designer need not provide information on data type and precision for every bus and component in the logic design, because at the next step 20, propagate data type and precision, the data type and bus width provided by the designer at perhaps one or a few places in the logic design in step 12 are propagated to other points in the logic design according to the rules provided in the module master templates of those modules indicated by the designer. This data type propagation serves three purposes: to check data types for consistency or compatibility throughout the design, to save the designer considerable effort in providing the necessary information to complete the logic design, and because data types need to be specified in only a few places, to allow changes in data type to be performed quickly and efficiently.
After the data type propagation step is complete, the method shown in FIG. 1 proceeds with an architectural optimization step 24, in which parts of the design are assigned to parts of the field programmable gate array chip which will implement the design. In this architectural optimization step 24, the requirements of the design are matched with the vendor-specific architectural characteristics of the physical chip to make more efficient use of the resources (circuit elements) on the chip by optimization methods, such as those methods 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118 shown in step 24 by way of example.
Architectural Optimization Example
FIG. 2 shows an overview of a sample (smaller than commercially available) Xilinx 4000-series field programmable logic array chip which can be advantageously programmed using the methods of the invention. Such chips are further described in the Xilinx Technical Data book entitled XC 4000 Logic Cell(TM) Array Family (c) 1990 by Xilinx, Inc., and available from Xilinx, Inc. 2100 Logic Drive, San Jose, 95124. This chip includes logic blocks CLB R1C1 through CLB R4C4 in the interior of the chip. At the perimeter of the chip are input/output (I/O) blocks P1 through P32 tied to external pins (not shown) of the chip.
FIG. 3 shows the lower left corner of the chip of FIG. 2, including CLB R4C1 and I/O blocks P23 through P26, as well as switch box S41 not shown in FIG. 2. (For further description of the switch boxes see U.S. Pat. No. 4,870,302.) Also shown in FIG. 3 are interconnect lines L1 and L2 and many other interconnect lines not labeled. Interconnecting many of these interconnect lines are pass transistors, of which pass transistors T1, T2 and T3 are labeled. I/O blocks P1 through P32 include bidirectional input/output buffers and sequential elements. CLBs C1R1 through R4C4 include combinatorial elements and include sequential elements as do the I/O blocks. FIGS. 4 and 5 show an I/O block and a CLB respectively. Also provided on the chip are several high drive low skew buffers for driving high fan-out signals such as global clock and reset signals. The chip includes interconnect lines of both short and long length, short for interconnecting nearby elements, and long for interconnecting elements in distant parts of the chip or for interconnecting multiple elements. The Xilinx 4000-series chips include a fast carry function (see Hsieh, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/522,336 for a detailed description. This patent application is incorporated by reference.) This fast carry function allows arithmetic functions which are placed in adjacent CLBs as shown in FIG. 6, to be implemented in a small area and to perform computations very fast.
It is preferable to place the designer's logic circuitry in portions of the chip which allow the overall design to be implemented most efficiently. For example, if the designer has called for a register with a clock input, and the register will connect to an external pin, this register is preferably assigned to one of the I/O blocks rather than to an internal logic block, thus leaving the internal logic blocks for handling more complex logic.
In the architectural optimization step 24, the clock and high fan-out signals are assigned to one of the high-drive low-skew buffers and to one of the global lines on the chip. If present, a master reset signal is assigned to the global set/reset function. Arithmetic functions, especially wide arithmetic functions are mapped to use the fast-carry feature.
It is to be understood that also non-programmable chips and circuits may be designed and fabricated in accordance with the invention.
Module Generator
Before logic functions represented in the designer's block diagram can be placed in the logic array chip, the logic functions indicated in block diagram form are expanded to their full width in step 26 of FIG. 1 in a module generation step. A function designed as an adder, for example, with a 16-bit input bus is replaced by 16 1-bit adders with carry functions interconnected to form the 16-bit adder U.S. patent application Ser. No. 07/785,659, filed concurrently herewith describes this portion (step 26) Of the system in detail. Arithmetic functions are expanded using a style called "hard macros" (functions which have been optimized with particular circuit layouts for the particular hardware) to occupy a portion of the logic array chip (or several chips), and in their expanded format are recorded as a net list in an XNF (net list) file.
In the present preferred embodiment, there are about 30 module master templates for 30 high level functional components and additional master templates for other lower level functional components. Each functional component has ports, for example input ports, output ports, select ports, a carry-in port, etc. The module master template stores relationships (rules) between data types and precision (bus widths) for buses connected to certain ports of the particular functional component, and allowable data types for the ports. The functional components of the preferred embodiment include:
up/down counter
data register
shift register
input buffer
output buffer
bidirectional input/output buffer
three-state buffer
bus interface
bus inversions (inverter)
place a value on a bus
bus-wide AND
The bus-wide Boolean functions can be implemented in the following manner:
AND/OR/XOR all of the bits of the bus together and provide a single bit output, for example XOR all the inputs to a bus to build an even parity generator.
AND/OR/XOR bits from one bus with corresponding bits from a second bus to provide a bus-wide output. AND/OR/XOR each bit of a bus with a single bit input to provide a bus-wide output. The single bit is usually an enable signal or an inverter.
Similarly, the bus-wide multiplexer can be implemented in the following ways:
to provide-a single bit output by selecting a single one of the inputs, or
to provide a bus-wide output by selecting one of a plurality of buses connected to the inputs.
After completion of module generation in step 26 of FIG. 1, in step 28 further architecture optimization is performed as shown in step 151, followed by writing of the system output (a netlist) in step 30, from which the circuit is programmed or laid out and fabricated.
A data type propagation process according to the invention is described in detail below. In a preferred embodiment, the process is a computer program in the Quintus Prolog language, commercially available from Quintus corp.
When the designer generates the logic design, he specifies functional components from the library of functional components, and how they connect to other functional components and to input and output pins. For each functional component which will be used in the logic design, the master template of that functional component must be located in the library. The designer will also associate some information on data type and precision with some of the functional components in the logic design. As an important feature of the present invention, it is not necessary for the designer to specify data type and precision for every bus and every port of every functional component. The process of the present invention relieves the designer of this tedious activity.
Data Type Propagation Program
The process for data type propagation is as follows:
1. Associate module and component architecture port data types with the port on the module instances.
2. Convert data type information on certain module instances to the internal data type format and associate this information with the proper ports.
3. Propagate the known port data types to the signals to which they attach.
4. Propagate the known signal or bus data types to the ports to which they attach.
5. Propagate the information on one or more ports of a component or module instance to the other ports on the component or module instance.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until no more data type information can be propagated.
Steps 3-6 are made more efficient as follows:
1. The ports are divided into three sets:
(A) Ports without data type information,
(B) Ports with data type information which have not yet been processed, and
(C) Ports with data type information which have been processed.
The ports are initially in either set 1A or 1B.
2. The signals (busses) are divided into two sets:
(A) Signals (busses) without data type information,
(B) Signals (busses) with data type information.
The signals (busses) are all initially in either set 2A or 2B.
3. For each port in set 1B,
(a) Pick a port P, in set 1B.
(b) Find the signal, S, (if any) attached to port P.
(c) If signal S is an element of set 2A (i.e., does not have a data type), associate P is data-type with signal S, then move S from set 2A to set 2B.
(d) Move the port from set 1B into set 1C.
(e) Find all ports, PS, connected to signal S.
(f) Associate signal S's type with all ports that one members of set 1A, and move those ports which were in set 1A into set 1B.
(g) For each of these ports, find all related ports on the same component instance according to the master template rules. These rules indicate which ports on a component instance are related to one another and what form of data type on one port corresponds to other data types on the other ports. When the data type on a related port on the component instance can be determined according to the master template rules, move any such newly-type-defined ports from set 1A into set 1B.
4. Repeat steps 3a-3g until set 1B is empty.
5. Further user input is provided if necessary in response to error messages.
Note that this procedure is guaranteed to terminate, as a port is always removed from set 1B on each iteration. Set 1B gets new elements from set 1A, but set 1A only decreases in size as its ports acquire data types. In the worst case, the number of iterations=the total number of ports=|set 1A|+|set 1B|.
Also, steps 3(c), 3(e), 3(f), and 3(g) each include a verification step in which the program makes sure that the associated data type is compatible with any previously associated data type for the particular port or signal. If compatibility is not found, an error message issues.
This description is illustrative and not limiting; other modifications will be apparent to one skilled in the art in the light of this disclosure.

Washington Post blog guidelines
"A group led by Outlook Editor John Pomfret and involving editors and reporters from the newsroom and wpni has drafted guidelines for blogging on washingtonpost.com," says an internal memo obtained by FishbowlDC:
This memo describes guidelines for our newsroom for creating, maintaining (and ending) blogs. Blogs, like all content on washingtonpost.com, are published under the supervision of editors at wpni. This primer aims to help reporters and editors at the newspaper decide when, how and whether to launch a blog.
All blogs should draw on our principles for Washington Post journalism on the web, including meeting our standards of accuracy and fairness and rules for expressing personal opinions.
What works?
A news column/opinion blog with two or a single contributor. Examples: Raw Fisher, White House Watch.
A breaking news or event-driven blog that can accept many contributors but should generally be supervised by one editor. Example: The Trail.
A blog oriented around a relatively defined issue with two or a single contributor. Example: soccerinsider.
Blogs with voice, a consistently strong (even provocative) writing tone. Example: Achenblog.
Blogs with active editors. Guidance is important and all blogs need editing and benefit from the back-and-forth between the author and an editor.
What doesn't work?
Group blogs that lack focus.
Blogs that lack voice.
Blogs that are not updated (several times a week AT LEAST).
Grab-bag blogs that are a dumping ground for notes that will not make the paper.
Types of blogs
Breaking News Blogs. Created for a big breaking news story, such as the Virginia Tech shootings. One editor should supervise the blog content and another editor the coverage in the newspaper. The two editors should be in constant communication with each other and the corresponding wpni editor.
Event Related Blogs. Created for a one-time or periodic event, such as the Maryland Legislature or the ACC Tournament. An editor should be assigned to oversee the blog in collaboration with the editing of the newspaper's coverage.
Subject Blogs. These are long-term blogs around a clearly specified topic. In most cases the number of contributors should be limited to fewer than three reporters, with exceptions such as The Trail.
Blog Launch "9 Point Checklist"
Proposals for new blogs are welcome from across the newsroom. Proposals should address the following questions:
1. What's the blog's topic or what event will it cover? Blogs with relatively narrow topics do better than loosely defined blogs. Either way, the topic of each blog needs to be clearly defined. A strong personality or voice can serve a similar defining function (Achenblog, the Kurtz media summary).
2. What's the competition, and how will your blog win? You're unlikely to find many topics that someone else isn't already blogging about. Identify the competition and tell us why your blog is special.
3. How will your blog supplement what appears in print and online? Blogs on washingtonpost.com must contain original material – newsworthy reporting, useful information and/or strong commentary. Some of the best blogs have a live and fresh feel precisely because they take readers inside the news. Outline how your blog will relate to existing print and online features.
4. How often will it be updated, and at what time(s) of day? Blogs need to be updated at least once each weekday.
5. Who will write your blog? Blogs usually benefit from a distinctive voice. At the same time, reporters can't offer personal opinions on a blog in a way that would not be acceptable in the newspaper (critics exempted, for example). Proposals should include at least three "test posts" to judge whether the writer can produce posts with effective and acceptable voice.
6. Who will edit your blog? Blog items need to be edited. Your proposal needs to say who will edit blog copy.
7. Who will moderate comments on your blog? User comments typically account for 10-25% of a blog's traffic and are a key to success – but need to be moderated.Who will review comments that appear to violate the site's discussion policy and delete them if necessary?
8. How and where will your blog be promoted? Successful blogs typically "live off the land" by attracting bloggers who link to them and a loyal audience. But promotion on washingtonpost.com and in print is helpful, particularly at launch. Work with appropriate editors on both sides on a realistic promotion plan.
9. What names and "taglines" do you propose for your blog? Since many names are already taken, you should include several possibilities in your proposal, and do a quick web check to make sure none is in use.

I would like to draw your attention to some extreme and horrendous criminality being conducted with the involvement of United States Government-related Agencies and the complicity, if not participation, of many other governments, security agencies and/or shadowy organisations - involving the use of DIRECTED ENERGY AND NEUROLOGICAL WEAPONS on defenceless people.
I can confirm that the technical abilities and powers to:-

2. continuously monitor a human brain from remote locations, including thought, reaction, motor command, auditory event and visual image reading
3. continuously input directly into a human brain from remote locations, including the ability to override, control and alter consciousness, and to introduce voices, noises, other disturbances, images and "dreams" into the brain
4. directly interfere with, abuse, torture and hit bodies - including performing advanced medical procedures - and objects - from remote locations
5. directly interfere with, alter, insert etc. data, files, communications and legal evidence from remote locations - even during transmission
6. make live TV, and other screens and monitors, two-way – for surveillance, invasion of privacy etc..
7. control the flow of information and orchestrate the media – worldwide.
There is massive ignorance and secrecy regarding this, and victims such as I are being subjected to uncontrolled and unacknowledged torture and mental and physical destruction. This has remained completely unreported and undiscussed publicly. There are many others, all over the world, who are being subjected to similar torture and abuse – some of us are being subjected to the most extreme and totalitarian violations of human rights in human history
As well as being inhumane and criminal the crimes being committed against us are contrary to the Principles and Values of all the major religions and ethical systems - and yet our appeals for justice, protection, assistance and/or publicity to Government Representatives, Government Officials, Government Agencies, International Organisations, Human Rights Organisations, Universities, Scientific and other Institutions, and the International Media have been almost completely ignored and/or suppressed.
For anyone at all concerned about human rights, liberty, democracy, privacy, the rule of law and ALL aspects and degrees of human freedom, individuality and mental and physical integrity and health this uncontrolled and unacknowledged technology and torture and abuse is intolerable!
Your attention and assistance is urgently needed to halt these atrocities, control and regulate the use of these technologies, and to bring these extremist elements to justice.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Terrorism, Radicalism, Fundamentalism is the remnants of the CRUSADERS and the Christian who waged Holy Wars against their brother community the AMBIGEANS who followed different, balanced and non radical idea about CHRIST and GOD. Further the CRUSADERS fought against the Muslim world for more or less than 200 hundred years in the pretext to liberate the HOLY CITY while the Holy City was always opened for them for pilgrims, and they offered every facility to stay there as guest of the Muslims and even the Jews. The skulls were brought as a sacred gift to their friends in Europe are still laying inthe archives and drawing rooms.
Further Radicalism, Terrorism and killing the public figures and cultural representatives was carried out by the Iranian and Syrian Fida,I Ismailis specially the Nizari Ismailis. They adopted this killing Modus Operandi to gain power and as a megalomania.
Before the advent of Pakistan or any other Islamic country no such example of Radicalism, Fundamentalism and terrorism was prevailed in any corner of the Islamic World.
The present phase of terrorism, radicalism, and fundamentalism started when in the WEST the Idea of Clash of Civilization was adopted by the elements having political interest, undergrounds, Mafias and conspirators who were ambitious to snatch the immense resources of the world of this area. The second motive behind was RISING of CHINA as a super power.
Without generating pseudo Taaliban the Americans and Westerns could not proceed forward, and could achieve their goal. Even in Pakistan the the ruling elites who could not give the country a system in the 60 years were so allured by the influx of dollars that they offered their services to destabilize the area.
These elements themselves are very strong and stable but the country they ruled is the weakest of the world even being an atomic power. This atomic power was also abused and used to grip the country and the nation not to gain the national pride. Mir Jaffar and Mir Sadiq are there to sell the nation for dollars. The Americans and the Westerners themselves not do dirty things, but they select/choose people like our elites and rulers to do these dirty things in the disguise of Taliban or Terrorists. Community, Jamaats, Tablighee, Islami and Ulema are not involved, directly nor indirectly in these dirty activities.
Millions Dollars, twenty truck supplying ammunitions on daily basis, hundred trucks ration, intact logistic system, target identification, correct linkages and communication system, sophisticated guide line system is not simply maneuvered by the so called Taliban themselves. It is the Institutions and their co-ordinted and integrated system and efforts which is sustainable, durable and directional playing the game. Other wise a group of troops may have driven them out in a single day or two.
Please STOP to befooling the world. Esoterically all know that you are befooling them.

I from Pakistan share my point of view in REFERENCE to ILSUN date September 22, 2008 about NEUROLOGICAL TERRORISM through neurological weapons and their REMOTE functioning on the human brain, diverting and suppressing the human mind and brain in certain direction to ruin and misfiguring him. In Europe such terrorism is reffered back to the history of ASSASSINS the Ismaili Nizaris who's (Holy Killers) brains were turned and directed through intoxications and suggestions that the person said to be intoxicated with a blend of religious indoctrination volunteered to sacrifice his life and the enemy who would be a representative of a different culture and religion. The Western research and approach is seemed to be half true but there is a little bit taste of suspense and religious subjectivity.
Terrorism and radicalism has emerged in various forms as my brother has very clearly discussed above. The American CIA invented and smuggled the technology and exported to the countries where they used the narcotics production for their politic objectives . Otherwise the Afghanis and Burmese could not engineer such sophisticated machines.
The recent invasion on Iraq and Afghanistan is another method of terrorism and radicalism in the guise and disguise of political motives. The reason of such atrocities and invasion was fabricated and politically orinted.
Every aggression and political atrocity is done beyond the smoking screen as Pluralism, Democracy, and social services. Socual service pave the way to infiltrate in to the brains and societies and so convert, divert and indoctrinate the simple minded people and exploite them to achieve the goal. All Mafias, Under grounds,secret societies and Templars follow these conspiracy theories and methodology. The above blog has further exposed such theory and methodology to convert and diver human mind to prepare terrorists, suiciders,Assassins and crazies to easily achieve POLITICAL objectives without sacrificing their soldiers . Let me think and offer some more fresh informations in the next session.

Fenton King size bed
Bought the bed in the light color. It was a good price and we needed something a little rustic. It is not very sturdy but that is probably due to it's light weight. If you want a heavy iron bed then not for you.Read More
They did not have black in stock, so I got the other color and painted it black, it was gorgeous black. Fantastic value, feels strong, solid, I'm delighted, and Overstock is the first place I look for anything.Read More
Not Worth the money
This bed arrived and i was very disappointed. The bed itself had 2 "extensions" you had to add to the headboard to make it the right height and it looked cheap...the "cast iron" is not cast iron...it is so light i thought it was aluminum....do not waste your money on thisRead More
good find for the right price
I looked everywhere for a king sized bed that we would like and found it at a very expensive store. After a little research found the same bed on Overstock and saved about $70. Shipping was fast (ordered on Thursday at my house on Monday) and came in two boxes. My handy husband had it put together in about half an hour and we love it! It is solid and just a great piece of furniture.Read More
we were very pleased with the bed.... The color worked great for us, and the quality seemed good...Read More
Fenton King-size Bed
This is THE bed for me ! I ordered it in Pecan because my bedroom is white and iron, very southern, very New Orleans ! It fits in perfectally. I already had a king bed foundation and everything fit perfect. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it ! I have the 4-corner canopy over the bed - A M A Z I N G look !Read More
Met My Expectations
I bought this bed for a master bedroom in a very nice vacation rental property on a lake; I liked it's simplicity; and, it went well with the off-white painted furniture in the bedroom. I was concerned about the "gold" mentioned in the description; however, it really appears to be an old iron bed. Instead of using the bed frame provided, I purchased a separate platform bed frame; very happy with the stability, as that was my biggest concern. I think it would look better if the legs on the headboard, and especially footboard, were more substantial...but, it looks good in the big picture. And, I believe the price was reasonable. I didn't give it 5 stars because it didn't exceed my expectations, which were reasonable...Read More

Multi-process is one of the most attractive features of Google Chrome. Multiprocess architecture of Chrome makes it possible to run separate browser windows, tabs, plugins and extensions as separate process. This feature is yet to be integrated within Firefox, and finally Mozilla has started implementing multi-process in Firefox.
Currently this feature is available with the Firefox nightly builds (Minefield). To try it, download latest Firefox nightly, and go to about:config page. Now look for dom.ipc.plugins.enabled, set it to true and restart browser. More details here.
The implementation is in initial phase (and may not work at the moment!), but this is a good news for Firefox users. This will increase stability of Firefox while surfing a 'heavy' website or using a 'buggy' plugin.

In 1997, South Walton had one middle school that served the area, and that was the old Bay School in Point Washington.
Locals wanted another option, but the county's school board, which was based in DeFuniak Springs, did not think another school was needed, as south of the Bay was mainly a tourist area.
However, locals did not agree and sought support from Seaside Town Founder Robert Davis as his town plan called for a neighborhood school.
Seagrove resident and attorney Billy Buzzett was asked to become the proposed school's first president and lead in securing the charter. Buzzett applied and received a three-year charter. The school was one of the first three schools in the state to receive a charter.
However, it was mandated new schools be on the same schedule as the county's other schools, which were about to start.
"We met on Tuesday night and had to start school the next day to be on the same schedule," remembers Buzzett. "We signed contracts on the hood of my car."
One of the three teachers who signed her contract on the hood of Buzzett's car was Kim Mixson, who reported for school the next morning in a portable building in
Thirty-six students showed up that first morning and enrolled as the first students at the newly-chartered
Mixson had read ads about the school that was being planned to open at
The tactic worked and Mixson got her interview. Mixson laughs today as she recalls changing clothes at
"We really started with nothing. Seriously, nothing but the building. That first year was a lot like summer camp. I had a contract to work but it could be cancelled in 30 days. We were all there and extremely hopeful but nothing was certain. Every day we would come to work and we would find donations at the front door. Tables and chairs were donated by the TDC. Parents donated supplies. We really started with nothing. One parent wrote a check for $10,000 and others gave what they could. Rosemary said we were building the plane as we're flying it," Mixson says today with a laugh.
Buzzett concurred. "We begged, borrowed and stole that first year. We drove to
"It was fun and hopeful, new and an adventure," said Mixson. "We were all in it together on a leap of faith, something parents had to have to say I am going to send my kids to this new school that had not been tested. If we decided we wanted to do something, we just did it."
Grading of schools started about the same time that
"What makes it special is the ability to react to change," said Buzzett. "Staff and administration reacts positively to change. Such as when one of the Marsalis brothers came to
Robert Davis donated all proceeds from the town being used for the set in making "The Truman Show" to
The school now has three buildings and has added a grade. It has exceeded expectations year after year and has been named a Blue Ribbon School.
Williams served as principal for three years with no pay.
Mixson is now the school's principal.
The student body is now close to 120 students and those are chosen by lottery due to the school's size restrictions.
Mixson says the key to the school's success is partly the mentoring program, supportive parents, the students, and fabulous teachers.
"We have done things differently. Having the same teachers for two or three years helps build relationships without the kids having to start over. We ask a lot from our students and have a good time together. It's hard work and fun. A neat place. I can't believe how it's changed and how it has stayed the same," said Mixson.
"Today, people look at the school and idyllic setting and say, sure, you can be an 'A' school. But we had two portables when we started and it is as high quality then as now," said Buzzett. "There were so many people that supported this school. Robert Davis came in and taught a class on opera, Tom Christ taught a class on architecture, various artists have taught art lessons ... it's that kind of enthusiasm that makes it what it is. I am glad that 20 years ago I got involved."
Buzzett served as president of the school for eight years. Both of his sons attended the school. He believes that the other two schools that received their charters at the same time, no longer have them and that

In the auto body shop, after Agent Ramsey threatens to take Ron into police custody, Ron agrees to talk – but not to Ramsey!
As Ramsey whispers threats into Ron's ear, Michael arrives and demands to know why Ron lied to him regarding Marcie! After Ron claims not to know where Marcie is now, he demands to talk to Michael in private. Once alone, Ron silently admits to Michael that Marcie and Tommy are okay…Though Michael wants more details, Ron doesn't divulge any more information but listens on as Michael explains why he didn't tell Marcie about Tommy's paternity. Just as Michael informs Ron that they can't allow Ramsey to find Marcie, the FBI agent appears, instructs his officers to take Ron away then questions Michael, "Obstructing justice is a crime. So, what did he say?" After Michael denies finding anything out from Ron, Ramsey warns he'll find Michael's wife – and stop her!
Dressed in disguise, Ron warns Marcie that if she goes through with her plan, Marcie Walsh McBain will no longer exist. After Ron hands Marcie some passports, he instructs her with, "You and Tommy are now Penny and Aaron Shaw." Later, with Marcie in full disguise, Ron gives her some money and insists that she never try to pay him back once she makes it out of the country. Handing Marcie an envelope, one she's to open when she gets faraway from here, Ron and Marcie finally say a tearful goodbye.
Later, still at the auto body shop, the door is kicked in and Ron is asked to freeze by Agent Ramsey! After Lee's men come up empty in their search, Lee puts Ron under arrest!

Welcome James Madison Families,
The first day of school is upon us. This time brings mixed emotions, sad to see the summer come to an end, but excitement for the beginning of school to start. It was great to meet all of the new parents and students during registration, and also see all of those familiar faces returning.
School Safety
Last school year we put in place a number of safety initiatives to ensure our students and staff are safe within the school day. The Sheboygan Area School District has funded the initiatives through out the school year.
There are a few things in place that I would like to let you know and request your support. Prior to the start of the school day if you drop your children off in the front of school we would like the children to walk on the walkway to the back of the building. We will have staff available to supervise the students starting at 8:20 a.m. The reason for asking that the students go to the back of the building is to ensure that our students are not unsupervised within the building. Many of our teachers are preparing for the day or attending meetings before school and may not be in their classroom. The exception to this is when it in the event of inclement weather. If students choose to have breakfast in the morning they can enter the front of the building starting at 8:20 a.m.
It is our goal to ensure that all of the students and staff at James Madison are in a safe environment. In order to meet that goal the doors to the front of the building will be locked daily starting at 9:00 a.m. After that time, visitors to the building will need to use the main entrance of the building on David Avenue and buzz the A-Phone system on the west wall. The office staff will be able to see who is at the front entrance and be able to communicate to that visitor before allowing them in to the building. After entering the building all visitors are required to report to the school office, sign in, and wear a visitor badge while in the building. You may notice that our entire staff will be wearing picture ID's which allow other staff and students to identify the adults in the building.
At the end of the school day the front parking lot is closed to all vehicles except for those needing handicapped parking. We are requiring parents that are picking up their students to remain outside of the building. The teachers will bring the students outside to you. If you need to speak with your student's teacher or have business in the office you may enter the building after the bell at 3:45 p.m.
Site-Based Management
We are looking for three parent representatives to be part of Site-Based Management. The purpose of Site-Based is to have a representation of Madison: teachers, support staff, parents, and administration to work together to make decisions that will impact the direction of the building. Examples of the decisions that Site-Based will make include the school calendar and the structure of the school day.
At this point we have no parent representation. The parent voice is one that needs to be heard and needs to be part of this organization. The Site-Based meetings are scheduled for the 1st Friday of the month from 7:45 – 8:30. If you are interested in being part of Site-Based team please contact the main office.
Community Support Center
James Madison is seeking interested family and community volunteers to support our students and staff in the 2014-2015 school year!
Please consider volunteering your time this year in our Community Support Center. Research indicates that when families, communities, and schools work together students will be successful!
You will have the opportunity to support students in their learning by reading with them, practicing math facts, supporting and encouraging students to finish assignments one-on-one, or helping in the classroom as needed. There will also be opportunities to support staff with cutting, shelving library books, making bulletin boards, hanging student work, or other clerical help as needed.
If you are interested, please contact me at 459-3587. I will meet with any interested volunteers for an orientation and input session on how our support center can be successful. In order to maintain a safe and respectful learning environment, all volunteers will have to undergo a background check and be willing to sign a confidentiality agreement.
The James Madison staff is excited about this new opportunity to work with its families and community to enhance student learning.
Jason Ledermann

On Thursday 22nd May 2014 Peace One Day is going to be hosting a cocktail reception and three course gala dinner at the renowned Salle des Etoiles, Monaco.
The evening will be hosted by Peace One Day Ambassador and double academy award nominated actor Jude Law. This event is being held to support Peace One Day Education and to raise awareness of Peace One Day's DRC and Great Lakes Peace Project.
For more information including ticket and table details, please click here.
'Dom Hemingway' director Richard Shepard and co-stars Jude Law, Madalina Diana Ghenea, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett and Demian Bichir attended the Fox Searchlight Pictures' 'Dom Hemingway' screening hosted by The Cinema Society And Links Of London yesterday in New York City. 'Girls' star Lena Dunham was also in attendance, and she posed with Jude on the red carpet. See photos!
"Dom Hemingway" opens with a scene where Jude Law gives an uninterrupted, unflinching monologue about his penis, an idea that came naturally to the film's writer-director Richard Shepard.
"I can talk about my cock for hours," Shepard said at the Cinema Society and Links of London screening of his new film in downtown New York. "Once I wrote that scene, I thought, I get this guy. I get his ego, his sense of humor, his weirdness. The rest of it kind of just appeared."
The poster for the Fox Searchlight release is similarly-crotch focused, with Dom lounging in a chair with a whiskey and his legs open. "We made all his suits very tight, because he's been in prison for 12 years," Shepard explained. "So when he sits, things get shown in ways they shouldn't."
Jude Law took credit for that character flaw. "I got this idea with the suit, when he left prison, he got it cut in the wrong areas," said Law, who packed on a few extra pounds to play his reformed criminal by eating tubs of ice cream, hamburgers and pints of Lager. But that decision didn't sit well with the film's tailor. "He kept saying, 'You can't do this!'" Law recalled. "It went against his own nature of somebody who wanted the suit to look good."
Earlier today Jude has joined a demonstration in central London against Russia's detention of 30 Greenpeace activists following a protest at an Arctic oil rig. About 800 people gathered outside the Russian embassy to put pressure on Russia to release the group, which includes six Britons.
The Russian coastguard seized the ship Arctic Sunrise and everyone on board following the 18 September protest at the offshore platform owned by Russia's state-controlled energy giant Gazprom in the Pechora Sea. The activists are now in custody in the northern city of Murmansk.
Law said he was "exercising my right to peacefully protest" at the demonstration. Jude who is friends with one of the detainees Frank Hewetson, said the arrests were an international disgrace.
"I am just adding my face and body to the mass of support," Jude said. "The fact that there is a threat of conviction did not put them off. What is ludicrous is that they have been charged with piracy, which has a threat of 15 years in prison. Of course I am worried about Frank because I care about his family and I care about him but I know that he is incredibly durable.
"I think that it is very interesting that the people over there probably knew there would be an arrest involved and the threat of a conviction is probably part and parcel of the act of drawing attention to the drilling in the Arctic, which we all know is an international problem which needs confronting."
Protesters at the event stood quietly behind banners declaring "Free the Climate Defenders", "Journalist and Not Pirate" and "Free The Arctic 30″.
Jude spoke to the BBC at the protest, and you can watch the video here.

Uncanny X-Men: Days of Future Past Review
- Publisher: GlitchSoft
- Genre: Books
- Released: 22 May, 2014
- Size: 542.8 MB
- Price: $4.99
- Fantastic control system
- Attractive comic book style
- Good cast of playable characters for fans
- Does get repetitive
- Characters are all quite similar at first
Uncanny X-Men: Days of Future Past looks and plays like a sharp 16-bit platformer, with a control system that suits the touchscreen down to the ground.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
While clearly released to serve as a tie-in to the impending movie, Uncanny X-Men: Days of Future Past is styled after the original comic series. As per the books, the assassination of a senator sets into motion events that bring about a dystopian future ruled over by massive robot Sentinels.
You take control of Wolverine first. , who must schnickt his way through thug, goons, mutants, and mechanoids alike. As with classic 2D side-scrollers like Shinobi, you'll be leaping between platforms, executing special movies, and double-jumping like you mutton chops depend upon it.
Everything controls marvellously. The virtual buttons do a strong job of relaying your movement commands, but it is the attack system that really elevates the gameplay. Rather than a selection of attack buttons dotted around the screen, combat is controlled by an intuitive stick / button hybrid that allows you to tap it for a simple punch, or swipe across it in various directions to unleash special attacks.
As you advance through the game you slowly add more X-Men to your squad, all of which have their own unique traits - Colossus possesses a powerful charge punch, and Kitty Pryde can summon dragon which unleashes handy automatic attacks. There are notable differences in movement speed, too, with Colossus stomping around like his shoes are coated in glue, while Shadowcat springs athletically between platforms.
A shared XP bank lets you unlock extra abilities for any character. This begins to boost your mutants powers, and open up new perks. The real core of the action never really changes, though, so even with these powers you will eventually find yourself wanting a break from the action now and then. The levels are broken up by loading screens as it is, but we still felt a little fatigued by the combat after extended plays.
Its not perfect, but Uncanny X-Men: Days of Future Past is a great interpretation of the classic arcade 2D platformer. Long sessions do become tiring, but this won't stop you wanting to revisit the handsome visuals and meaty combat to fight for the future.
Description*No Internet Connection Required and No In-App Purchases
Play as Wolverine, Storm, Kitty Pryde, Colossus, Cyclops, Polaris or Scarlet Witch as Marvel's finest X-Men fight for the future of mutant and human kind in the two separate timelines of Days of Future Past.
Named one of Game Informer's Top 15 Games of 2014
"This colorful epic built for the iPad and iPhone pays beautiful homage to the acclaimed tale." - Washington Times
"A delightful little trip down memory lane that's well worth the cost of a comic book." - Kotaku
"The environments are incredibly rich and detailed" - App Advice
"With enough hidden areas to make you want to explore every inch of the screen, to the great balance between fighting and puzzle solving, I have a hard time putting it down!" - Don't Forget a Towel
The world around you is in ruins. Sentinel robots have enslaved most of the United States and are set to stage a global war. The X-Men have failed; the few who survived this nightmarish future are imprisoned in Mutant Internment camps. But all is not lost, the battle for the future can be fought in the past. With one chance to re-write history, The X-Men must stop this war by preventing the assassination of Senator Kelly.
Recreate one of the most iconic stories from the X-Men universe, based on John Byrne and Chris Claremont's original comics and expanded to tell the whole story behind the nightmare that is the Sentinel Uprising. Journey through a post-apocalyptic New York City, Washington D.C., Savage Lands, Asteroid M and more.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Sept. 5) – New Mexico State head women's basketball coach Mark Trakh is set to participate in the 'Walk to End Alzheimer's' on Saturday, Sept. 7, in Las Cruces. Trakh, along with the rest of the women's basketball team are set to participate with former Aggie Chrissy Fletcher to raise funding and awareness for research for the disease.
Fletcher played for the Aggies from 2009-13 and was affected by the illness when her grandfather, Cliff Wilke, passed away in January from the disease. Trakh said he understands Fletcher's desire to raise awareness and funding, since his mother is currently battling the disease.
"Chrissy's grandfather passed away from it and my mother currently suffers with it, so we are both affected by this on a personal level," Trakh said. "Chrissy really spearheaded this fundraiser. There is a great need for Alzheimer's awareness and funding and this is our way of helping. I have seen it first-hand and people need to be aware that it affects more than just the person diagnosed with Alzheimer's."
Fletcher set a goal of raising $500 individually for the event, but has exceeded that goal with a current total of $1,160.
"It is absolutely amazing to raise that much money for my personal goal," Fletcher said. "The great thing is that even after the walk, people can still donate to the association."
Fletcher said that she spent a great deal of time with her late grandfather before his passing and realized how much her entire family was affected by the disease and began to research the illness more.
"It is one of the least funded diseases in the world, but is one of the leading causes of death. Coach Trakh understands what I was going through, so he and the team decided to help me with the walk this weekend," Fletcher said.
The walk, which takes place on Saturday, Sept. 7, is set for 8 a.m. at Young Park in Las Cruces. For more information on the walk, click HERE.

F.H. Prince, Lake Erie, Ohio
The shipwreck of the F.H. Prince, a popular site for divers and snorkelers, rests about a half-mile (0.8 km) off the eastern shore of Kelleys Island, Ohio, in 20 feet (6 m) of water. Waves and ice have scattered some of the wreck. The wreck itself is about 240 feet (73 m) in length and contains the keel and keelsons, many of the ribs, planking, and engine works.
Kelleys Island is located in the western basin of Lake Erie about four miles (6.4 km) north of Marblehead and 12 miles (19 km) from Sandusky on the Ohio mainland. The island measures more than four square miles (10 km) and is the largest freshwater American island in Lake Erie.
The shipwreck draws anglers for the large numbers of smallmouth bass, rock bass and other sportfishing species.
Visibility depends upon lake conditions and algae blooms, but varies up to 20 feet (6 m). The wreck is encrusted by zebra/quagga mussels, with white/brown freshwater sponge scattered throughout. Various types of submerged aquatic vegetation are observed during the summer months.
Privately operated ferries offer frequent daily service for cars, RVs, bicyclists and pedestrians from the Ohio mainland at Marblehead and Sandusky to Kelleys Island. Charter boats are available from the island and from the mainland.
Depths to: 20 feet (6 m).
Visibility: 1-20 feet (3.3 to 6 m).
Water temperature: About 30-70 degrees Fahrenheit (-1 to 21 degrees Celsius) depending on the time of year.
Aquatic life: Includes smallmouth bass and rock bass.
Fees: None.
On-site amenities: Nearby Kelleys Island is the largest freshwater island in Lake Erie, offering multiple amenities.
More info: Call 800-255-3743 or visit www.kelleysisland.com or www.shoresandislands.com.
Getting there: From Cleveland, take Ohio Highway 2/90 west toward Toledo, Ohio. Cross Sandusky Bay on the Edison Memorial Bridge. Get off at the Ohio 269 exit marked Lakeside/Marblehead. Stay to your left. The road dead-ends. Turn right onto Ohio 163. Stay on Ohio 163 for about 5 miles (8 km). Once you pass the Marblehead sign the ferryboat will be on your left about 1/2 mile (0.8 km) down the road. Go under the overhead trestle and turn left into the Kelleys Island Ferry Boat Line.
