booomerrranganggboobooomerranrang: Nancy Holt's networked video
Nancy Holt, Boomerang (1974), still from video.
In her time on this planet, Nancy Holt came to be known as a great American Land Artist, and certainly her brilliant installations, like Utah's Sun Tunnels and collaborations with her partner Robert Smithson and their peers, are profoundly significant, but it was her work in film & video that has had the greatest personal impact on me.
I somehow didn't see Boomerang, her 1974 video performance usually credited to her collaborator Richard Serra, until I was a Ph.D. student in Linda Williams's Phenomenology of Film seminar at UC Berkeley's Rhetoric program, but the time delay was more than made up for by the work's formative resonance. In the video, made during Serra's residency at a Texas television station, a young Holt is seen sitting in an anchor's chair before a staid blue background. Despite brief station ID graphic overlays and one minute of silence in the midst of the ten-minute piece (announced as audio trouble and reminding viewers of the work's live TV origin), the work is in many ways sound-centric.
Sound and Image in Electronic Harmony
On Saturday, April 11th, New York's School of Visual Arts will co-present the 2009 Visual Music Marathon with the New York Digital Salon and Northeastern University. Promising genre-bending work from fifteen countries, the lineup crams 120 works by new media artists and digital composers into 12 hours. If it's true, as is often said, that MTV killed the attention spans of Generations X and Y, this six-minute-per-piece average ought to suit most festivalgoers' minds, and the resultant shuffling on and off stage will surely be a spectacle in its own rite. In all seriousness, this annual event is a highlight of New York's already thriving electronic music scene and promises many a treat for your eyes and ears. The illustrious organizers behind the marathon know their visual music history and want to remind readers that, "The roots of the genre date back more than two hundred years to the ocular harpsichords and color-music scales of the 18th century," and "the current art form came to fruition following the emergence of film and video in the 20th century." The remarkable ten dozen artists participating in this one-day event will bring us work incorporating such diverse materials as hand-processed film, algorithmically-generated video, visual interpretations of music, and some good old fashioned music-music. From luminaries like Oskar Fischinger, Hans Richter, and Steina Vasulka to emerging artists Joe Tekippe and Chiaki Watanabe, the program will be another star on the map that claims NYC as fertile territory for sonic exploration. - Marisa Olson
The National Museum of Contemporary Art (EMST) in Athens, Greece, has committed itself to curating a number of recent exhibitions of internet art. Their current show, "Tag Ties and Affective Spies," features contributions from both net vets and emerging surfers, including Christophe Bruno, Gregory Chatonsky, Paolo Cirio, JODI, Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar, Les Liens Invisibles, Personal Cinema and The Erasers, Ramsay Stirling, and Wayne Clements. The online exhibition takes an antagonistic approach to Web 2.0, citing a constant balance "between order and chaos, democracy and adhocracy." Curator Daphne Dragona raises the question of whether the social web is a preexisting platform on which people connect, or whether it is indeed constructed in the act of uploading, tagging, and disclosing previously private information about ourselves on sites like Flickr, YouTube, and Facebook. Dragona asks whether we are truly connecting and interacting, or merely broadcasting. While her curatorial statement doesn't address the issue directly, the show's title hints at the level of self-surveillance in play on these sites. Accordingly, many of the selected works take a critical, if not DIY, approach to the internet. The collective Les Liens Invisibles tends to create works that make an ironic mash-up of the often divergent mantras of tactical media, culture jamming, surrealism, and situationism. In their Subvertr, they encourage Flickr users to "subverTag" their posted images, creating an intentional disassociation between an image's content and its interpretion, with the aim of "breaking the strict rules of significance that characterize the mainstream collective imaginary..." JODI's work, Del.icio.us/ winning information (2008) exploits the limited stylistic parameters of the social bookmarking site. Using ASCII and Unicode page titles to form visual marks, a cryptic tag vocabulary, and a recursive taxonomy, their fun-to-follow site critiques the broader content of the web ...
Reappearance of the Undead
In 1997, internet art hall-of-famer Olia Lialina made a "net drama" called Agatha Appears that was written for Netscape 3 and 4 in HTML 3.2. One of the main features of the interactive narrative was the travel of the eponymous avatar across the internet. Let's just say the girl got around. But the magical illusion of the piece was that she appeared to stay still, even when links in the narrative were clicked and the viewer's address bar indicated movement to another server. But in time, both the browser and code in which the story was written became defunct and the piece unraveled as the sites previously hosting the links and files upon which Agatha was dependent disappeared or cleaned house. Such a scenario is common to early internet art (and will no doubt continue to plague the field), as ours is an upgrade culture constantly driving towards new tools, platforms, and codes. Many have debated whether to let older works whither or how it might be possible to update these works, making them compatible with new systems. For those who are interested, some of the best research on the subject has been performed by the folks affiliated with the Variable Media Initiative. Meanwhile, luddites and neophiles alike are now in luck because Agatha Appears has just undergone rejuvenation. Ela Wysocka, a restorer working at Budapest's Center for Culture & Communication Foundation has worked to overcome the sound problems, code incompatibilities, and file corruption and disappearance issues, and she's written a fascinating report about the process, here. And new collaborating hosts have jumped in line to bring the piece back to life, so that like a black and white boyfriend coming home from war, Agatha now offers us a shiny new webring as a token of ...
In the Future-Past Tense
The fantasy of the future and the utopian promises of new technologies have always gone hand-in-hand. If the history of technology's evolution tells the story of our culture, we can also trace our present-day novelties back to the root of our anxieties about the future and the problems these devices hoped to solve. With this correlation in mind, the interactive DVD novel The Imaginary 20th Century (2007) by Norman Klein, Margo Bistis, and Andreas Kratky, jumps back to the fin de siècle era between the 19th and 20th centuries. It was a time of wonder when new technologies and their representation were wedded in documents like panoramic films of public light shows and short actualities about newfangled transportation devices called roller skates. The novel tells the story of "the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, and the story of a woman (Carrie), who in 1901, selects four men to seduce her, each with his own version of the new century" in a recombinatory visual narrative that overlaps 2,200 images culled from primary documents, architectural plans, photos, and other ephemera with an original score. The project speaks to the multiplicity of visions circulating about what the new century would hold, and it's an even more past-tense follow-up to Norman Klein's interactive novel, Bleeding Through: Layers of Los Angeles, 1920-1986 (2003). Klein's work has clearly resonated with at least eleven people, because closing this week at Otis College of Art and Design's Ben Maltz Gallery is "The Future Imaginary," an exhibition that responds to The Imaginary 20th Century with the work of artists Deborah Aschheim, Jeff Cain, Tom Jennings, Jon Kessler, Ed Osborn, Lea Rekow, Douglas Repetto, Phil Ross, Kari Rae Seekins and Aaron Drake, and Susan Simpson. Each contribution embodies the special genre of ...

Call: Rhizome's Summer of Books
Beginning in May and extending through the summer, Rhizome will run a
series of special features on new books, journal issues, and other
writing projects related to new media.
We are currently compiling a list of texts to include and looking for
writers who would like to review books, interview authors, contribute
curated reading lists, or write thematic essays related to movements
in new media, as traced in recent publications.
The resulting bibliography will grow online, over the summer, and will
ideally provide a snapshot of contemporary scholarship in new media,
while extending into coverage of broader contemporary art practices
and issues related to digital culture at large.
These articles will run on our lists, in our Digest, and on our
front-page reblog and will be archived in a special Summer of Books
page on Rhizome.org.
Interested writers should email marisa(at)rhizome(dot)org with writing
samples. Bibliographic suggestions are encouraged but not required.

Fwd: Video Vortex: Responses to YouTube (event & discussion list)
Video Vortex Conference: November 30 and December 1 2007, Amsterdam (NL)
Organized by the Institute of Network Cultures
First announcement, March 15, 2007
Event: http://www.networkcultures.org/videovortex/
List info:
In response to the increasing potential for video to become a
significant form of personal media on the Internet, this conference
examines the key issues that are emerging around the independent
production and distribution of online video content. What are artists
and activists responses to the popularity of 'user-generated content'
websites? Is corporate backlash eminent?
After years of talk about digital conversions and crossmedia platforms
we are now witnessing the merger of the Internet and television at a
pace that no one predicted. For the baby boom generation, that
currently forms the film and television establishment, the media
organisations and conglomerates, this unfolds as a complete nightmare.
Not only because of copyright issues but increasingly due to the shift
of audience to vlogging and video-sharing websites as part of the
development of a broader participatory culture.
The opening night will feature live acts, performances and lectures
under the banner of video slamming. We will trace the history from
short film to one-minute videos to the first experiments with streaming
media and online video, along with exploring the way VJs and media
artists are accessing and using online archives.
The Video Vortex conference aims to contextualize these latest
developments through presenting continuities and discontinuities in the
artistic, activist and mainstream perspective of the last few decades.
Unlike the way online video presents itself as the latest and greatest,
there are long threads to be woven into the history of visual art,
cinema and documentary production. The rise of the database as the
dominant form of storing and accessing cultural artifacts has a rich
tradition that still needs to be explored. The conference aims to raise
the following questions:
- How are people utilising the potential to independently produce and
distribute independent video content on the Internet?
- What are the alternatives to the proprietary standards currently
being developed?
- What are the commercial objectives that mass media is imposing on
user-generated content and video-sharing databases?
- What is the underlying economics of online video in the age of
unlimited uploads?
- How autonomous are vloggers within the broader domain of mass media?
- How are cinema, television and video art being affected by the
development of a ubiquitous online video practice?
- What type of aesthetic and narrative issues does the database pose
for online video practice?
Conference themes:
Viral Video critique
Vlogging Critique
Participatory Culture, Participatory Video
Real World Tools and Technologies
Theory & History of the Database
Narrative and the Cinematic
Database Taxonomy and Navigation
Internet Video: Art, Activism, and Public Media
Evening Programme / Exhibition
Viral Video critique
YouTube made 2006 the year of Internet video. The video content
produced bottom-up, with an emphasis on participation, sharing and
community networking. But inevitably like Flickr being consumed by
Yahoo, Google purchased YouTube. What is the future for the production
and distribution of independent online video content? How can a
participatory culture achieve a certain degree of autonomy and
diversity outside mass media? What other motives does Google have for
Internet video in terms of searching and advertising? After the
purchase of YouTube, Google was asked to remove a number of clips that
breached copyright laws. What comparisons can be made between the
Napster incident with audio and video-sharing websites?
Vlogging Critique
This section will deal with vlogging criticism. Is video blogging a
form of text-based blogging with other means? How can we develop a form
of criticism, and a critical practice, that is not derogative and yet
surpasses the anecdotal diary level? Is vlogging the next stage of ego
boosting of the blogger, who wants to raise his or her ranking status?
What is a video diary and how can this emerging genre be shaped? Can
there be sophistication in 'vlogging'? How can we overcome the
evangelical that stresses the possibilities of gadget features? And how
can we overcome the amateurish aesthetics of this new genre?
Participatory Culture, Participatory Video
The Web 2.0 holds the promise to create a participatory culture that
can renew the stagnated democracies in the West. In this utopian
approach, the user has the historical task to overcome the old regime
of top down broadcast media and create decentralised dialogues. To what
extent can user-generated video content be energized by presenting the
material as citizen journalism? Is the increased user participation
really a sign of a new political culture or is it a mere special effect
of technological change?
Real World Tools and Technologies
In this session we will investigate the progress that open source and
free software initiatives have made in regard to the development of the
codex and the player that can compete with the proprietary standards
such as Microsoft Media Player. It is not enough to critique the
corporate takeover of MySpace and YouTube and upload alternative
content. Increasingly the intention of programmers shifts towards
Peer2Peer solutions in order to create a truly distributed network in
which content can freely float around without having to use centralised
servers. In this session we will present projects such as;
Theory & History of the Database
Searching databases has become a dominant cultural practice. Instead of
flipping through a radio and TV guide, the cinema programme or the
library, we browse the Internet. In this session we would like to go
back in time and investigate the history of the computer database. What
are the ideological underpinnings of 'taxonomy'? What do we search when
we perform a search? Should the aim be to overcome the fragmented
experience of our contemporary database culture and create overriding
meaning structures that deepen our understanding without having to
compromise on content diversity?
Narrative and the Cinematic
Do these fragmented video databases lead to new narratives and genres?
Does a database like YouTube evoke a skill such as continuous partial
attention, or a contemporary disease like the attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)? Against the medicalization, scholars
have put the ability of users to reassemble short stories into larger
new narratives as a reassuring alternative that replaces old media
skills. The bricollage is assembled by the end-user, not the producer.
Is there a new cinematic experience?
Database Taxonomy and Navigation
How do artists relate to the possibility of building large video
databases? Is YouTube the future of video art? Traditionally, artists
have always worked with found footage but nowadays it has never been
easier to access. The remix culture, online video tools and increased
server space make it possible to create large databases in which
complex interconnected content can be offered to the viewer. What is
the underlining information architecture? How does one navigate Steven
Spielberg's video archive of the holocaust survivors? Or take the
Dropping Knowledge project in which 110 experts answered 100 questions
of the audience, which can be accessed as a database. The same can be
said of large museum collections.
Internet Video: Art, Activism, and Public Media
From 16mm film and video to the Internet and back, activists have
always used the moving image to produce critical and innovative work.
For many, the experimentation with visual language and critical content
has been one and the same. In this session we will explore early
examples of Internet video and investigate how artists and social
movements have responded to the YouTube challenge. Is it better to
integrate your message into large existing platforms or should we
rather let a thousand blossoms bloom and each have our own video
server? Online video databases like YouTube seemingly are the ideal
artist portfolio online, with unlimited uploads and a massive audience.
MySpace is inhabited by bands and musicians, but why don't video
artists and filmmakers occupy YouTube? If we look at the videos on
YouTube, what aesthetics do we find? Is there a homogenous style that
only builds on eyewitness tv and candid camera formats? And now that
music videos and commercials increasingly resemble video art, can we
define how exactly artistic practices influence the look of online
footage? What would it mean to take YouTube Art serious? Is YouTube a
medium and platform in itself for art works or is it merely used as a
promotional device? Many have used YouTube to produce diary-type
performances in which they either played themselves or pretended to be
some character. What status do we give to such ego documents? Is
YouTube used by artists as a tool to intervene in social and political
issues? In this session we will present projects such as:
Evening Programme / Exhibition
Video Slamming
"Short, user-created videos are creating a new kind of watching
experience, one more about 'snacking' than half-hour sitcoms." (The
Much like poetry slamming the use of short video fragments has become a
dominant mode in visual culture. Where are the video files found and
how are they used and played with? Is 'video slamming' the new way of
watching audiovisual files? This session is all about the new ways of
watching, using, and playing with moving images: scratching, sampling,
mixing, but also (meta) tagging, recommending etc. This session will
feature performances, live acts and lectures.
Video Vortex Discussion List:
With this discussion list we like to gather responses to the rise of
YouTube and similar online video databases. What does YouTube tell us
about the state of art in visual culture? Is YouTube the corporate
media structure of the 21st century? What are the artist responses to
YouTube aesthetics?

The value, of course, is that they provide us with more objective views than eyewitness testimony, for example. There's a bit of a forensics craze running the country with shows like CSI making the idea of forensic evidence popular and fun.
But such shows tend to distort the picture in various ways. To make an hour's show, tests must come back more quickly than they would in real life. Again, in real life there would be many more frustrations on a daily basis, and equivocal evidence would be much more common.
Radley Balko has a story about manufactured evidence (HT: his Agitator blog), and a particularly blatant one. His story comes as the National Academy of Science has released a report (link to press release, report is linked from release on problems with various types of forensic evidence as used in our court system.
The danger of forensic evidence? It is studied and presented by people, and sometimes people are incompetent or dishonest. The NAS report suggests a number of necessary remedies.
I would hope that this would not discredit the ideas involved in the mind of the public. Rather, I would hope we would be prepared to support those who do their jobs well, but hold accountable those who don't.

Volleyball wins fifth straight match
WHITEVILLE — The Scotland High School volleyball team won its fifth straight match Thursday in Whiteville, winning in three games.
Scotland swept Whiteville to improve to 5-1 by winning 25-20, 25-12 and 25-19. Madaline Milholland led the Scots in kills with 17. Katelyn Hunt also played a large role from the service line, where she collected 12 aces on her 26 serve attempts. That was a season high for Hunt.
Avery Callahan had seven aces and 23 assists during the match and Jessie Kee had seven kills. Scotland's next match will be at Cape Fear on Sept. 4.

Hairston's reckless driving case continued
SALISBURY, N.C. (AP) — The court appearance for suspended North Carolina leading scorer P.J. Hairston on charges of speeding and reckless driving has been continued until next week.
Hairston's case was scheduled for Friday morning in Salisbury, where Hairston was cited for driving 93 mph in a 65 mph zone last month. Christie Olberman, a deputy clerk for Rowan County District Court, said the case is continued until Tuesday morning.
Attorney T. Gregory Jones declined to comment by email on his client's case Friday afternoon.
UNC suspended Hairston indefinitely on July 28, hours after he was stopped on southbound Interstate 85. That marked the third off-court misstep this offseason for the junior, who was cited twice in the span of a month by authorities while driving a rental vehicle linked to a felon.

Recap | Box Score | Notes | Jan. 6, 2009 - Lobo Basketball vs UTEP
New Mexico head coach Steve Alford:
Opening Statements:
"It was really a disappointing shooting performance. We couldn't stop them offensively in the second half and I think that really affected our defense. They had a much better second half. We had one guy (Daniel Faris) who was making over 50 percent of his shots, but he was in foul trouble. That makes it difficult."
"Our guys gave great effort but we just couldn't make a shot. The longer we went without making a shot I thought it effected our defense. It's hard to shoot 28 percent from the field and find a way to win."
"They are big. That team is going to be very good as they mature. I think they will have a good league season. "
UTEP head coach Tony Barbee:
On second half play:
"We played with a lot of composure in the second half. The biggest thing that we had to do was, knowing the type of environment and atmosphere we were going to be dealing with tonight, was we had to get the crowd out of the game early. We could not let them get started and stay into it the entire way."
"We did a great job in the first half of maintaining, even though we struggled offensively to keep the crowd quiet. In the second half, we came out and jumped on them right away. I told them how important the first five minutes of that half was to establish how we were going to play."
On defense:
"To come into this environment against a very, very good team that is very well coached and to guard them the way we did, that is the most complete defensive effort that I might have been around period. It is what I am telling my guys is called `desperation defense.' Every possession, you play life or death on the defensive end of the score."

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to spatial light modulators, more particularly to their memory and timing requirements.
2. Background of the Invention
The use of spatial light modulators results in desirable gains in speed, cost and control in systems used in fields such as printing, and high definition television. A spatial light modulator normally consists of an array of cells, preferably individually controllable. Each cell has an electrode or some sort of addressing node that allows that cell to be turned OFF and ON. Typically, a cell that is ON directs the light towards a surface, either through transmission or reflection. In this manner, each dot on a resultant picture, print surface, or even film, can be controlled by the system users.
A problem exists in the data and time requirement for such an array. In high definition television, for example, an array of pixels 2048 wide by 1024 long would not be unusual. Such an array of pixels would require over 2 million data points to be transferred every time the array was updated with new information. In order for the image to be produced from a single array to be in color, a typical 3-color scheme of red, green, and blue would require that the array be updated three times for every frame of information.
To illustrate this point, assume that one-third (one color) of a frame is 5.56 milliseconds (5.56�103 seconds). The steady-state data rate for 2 million pixels with 8 bits of each color would then be (2,000,000�8)/0.00556 which equals approximately 2.8�109, or 2.8 Gigahertz. The burst data rate, which is the highest rate at which data would be delivered to the modulator, takes into account the frame refresh rate for the pixel array. The fastest framing modulator is probably the digital micromirror device (DMD), which offers the worst-case scenario for update times. Assuming a 60 μsecond refresh rate for this device, the burst data rate is 2,000,000/0.00006, equaling 30 Gigahertz.
The problem with these data rates comes at the transfer of data. To handle a 30 Gigahertz data rate with a reasonable signal transmission speed, 25 Megahertz, for example, the resulting number of wires is 30�109 /25�106, or 1200 wires. Transmitting data along 1200 wires from a remote processor to a spatial light modulator would be inefficient and costly. Obviously, a way to eliminate this problem is desired.
The present invention disclosed herein comprises a package for a spatial light modulator array, and method of packaging a spatial light modulator, allowing efficient, effective communications between the modulator and the processor driving it. Memory circuits are mounted adjacent to the modulator that allow more lines of data to support the modulator without the noise and interference that existed previously. This allows the modulator to operate with more exact data, eliminates problems with large cables, and reduces system size and parts count.
For a more complete understanding of the present invention and for further advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following Detailed Description taken in conjunction with the accompanying Drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows a schematic of a data handling scheme.
FIG. 2 shows a schematic of a spatial light modulator package.
FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of a packaging process.
FIGS. 4A-4F show the modulator as it is moved through the steps of a packaging process.
Spatial light modulators typically do not have incredibly high switching speeds, but the advent of such modulators has begun. The digital micromirror, for example, has an switching time of 10 μseconds. Using 10 μseconds ON and 10 OFF, 50-60 μsecond frame times can be achieved with high efficiencies for very high resolution modulators. This invention offers greatest benefits to such modulators with high data rate demand, but that is not to say that slower switching modulators cannot benefit from the methods and structures described below. Additionally, both reflective modulators that receive and then reflect the light, such as digital micromirrors, and transmissive modulators, such as liquid crystal devices, can benefit from the methods and structures below.
In order to find the optimal number of pins on the modulator addressing inputs and the optimal number of wires in the cable, both the burst data rate of a system, and its steady data rate are used. If, as previously discussed, the frame time is 16.67 milliseconds, and the system is three-color, the time for each color is 5.56 milliseconds. Using an array of 2,000,000 pixels as an example, the steady state data rate is 2,000,000/0.0056, which is about 2.8 Gigabits per second (Gbps). If the maximum rate over an off-chip wire is 25 Megabits per second (Mbps), the resulting number of wires is (2.8�109 bits per second)/(25�106 bits per second), which equals about 110 lines on a cable. Adapting this to the next-largest binary number, the cable will end up at 128 lines wide. Of course, these numbers are used only as an illustration.
The problem lies in the burst data rate. Even if the designer desired, running the maximum data rate across 128 lines would result in (30�109 /128), 235 Mbps per line. Obviously, this is not currently reasonable for conventional commercial interconnects. However, if the steady-state data rate could be decoupled from the burst data rate, the system becomes much more practical.
The first-in-first-out (FIFO) offers such a decoupling, as do many other types of memories, such as video random access memory (VRAM). FIFOs can be filled at one data rate while being emptied at another. Additionally, the FIFOs come with data paths of varying sizes. Also a possibility is a custom memory circuit, designed specifically for that modulator. An example of such a system is shown schematically in FIG. 1.
A superstrate 10 holds the modulator array 12 with its associated addressing circuitry (not shown), and an array of FIFOs 14. A bus 16 passes data to the FIFOs. In the above scheme the bus would be 128 lines wide. In order to handle the burst data rate, the 2048 columns are grouped together. The size of the groups depends upon the width of the FIFOs chosen, and the tolerance for the output on the FIFOs to handle the data rate. If 16-bit FIFOs were chosen, for example, the pins required would be 2048/16 or 128.
In order to find out the data rate these would have to handle, the burst data rate is divided by the number of pins, 30 Gbps/128=235 Mbps. Since 128 pins is obviously unsatisfactory by an order of about 4, the calculation is attempted again, 30 Gbps/512 pins=58 Mbps. This is a difficult number to achieve for chip-to-chip interconnections on a printed circuit boards, but since the buffers are directly upon the same superstrate with the cells, it is possible. If the data path of FIFO 14 were 8 bits wide, in the schematic of FIG. 1, there would have to be 512/8, or 64 FIFO buffers to load the modulator array. The FIFOs are loaded at the steady-state rate of 2.8 Gbps, but during 8 bursts in each 5.56 milliseconds they are emptied at the burst data rate of 30 Gbps.
The above discussion now gives a basis for a more realistic implementation of such an architecture. Placing the modulator loading memories on the substrate allows the data rates to be manageable, as discussed previously, but the package as discussed schematically is not. FIG. 2 shows a more realistic embodiment of a modulator package with the memories on board.
In FIG. 2, the modulator array is addressed from both the top and the bottom. This allows the data lines to be divided up into more manageable bus sizes. In this embodiment, the busses have further been split up from side to side. The superstrate 10 then holds four busses, 16A for the top left side of the device, through 16D, for the bottom right side of the device. They are connected to the off-chip processor by connectors 20A-20D. Each bus in this scheme is then 32-bits wide. The FIFO arrays 14A-14D, consist of 16 FIFOs each, totalling 64 in all. Each FIFO, then, receives data from eight lines of the bus, four 8-bit FIFO's per word.
Additionally on the superstrate, is a ring 22, which allows the window 24 to be held away from the array while allowing light to pass through it, and simultaneously protects the modulator from contaminants. This package allows the modulator to be used with a minimal number of wires between it and the processor, yet maintains the proper communication data rates, and allows for extremely high burst data rates.
The process of building this package is detailed in FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 shows the steps of the process, and FIG. 4 shows the superstrate at various points in the process. Looking now at FIG. 3, the superstrate is prepared in step 28. For ruggedization and stability, ceramic is a suitable superstrate for packages such as this. In one embodiment the superstrate is then metalized for bus lines and the bond pads in step 30. Holes are then drilled for connectors in step 32. The metal is then patterned to define the bus lines and bond pads. All of the steps within box 26 may be switched around. This is dependent upon the designers requirements as well as the materials used.
Step 36 requires the mounting of the FIFOs. The chips could be attached in surface mount packages, but this method consumes considerable superstrate area. For minimum space, only the die of the chips alone could be used. These could be tab mounted or bonded individually to the superstrate. The bonding could be achieved by adhesive or by reflow-soldering. The superstrate at this point can be seen in FIG. 4A. The bond pads 54, FIFOs 14, and bus lines 16 all lie upon the superstrate 10. In FIG. 3, step 38, the FIFOs are bonded by wires (56 in FIG. 4B) to the bond pads.
Steps 42, 44, 46 and 48 may be switched, as indicated by box 40, depending upon the equipment used. The superstrate must be tested, possibly before the mounting ring is attached. Removing bad FIFOs or rebonding wires may be easier before the ring is attached. Yet, attaching the ring may cement a loose connection, allowing the superstrate to pass the test. If testing is done first, it may be desirable to die mount and bond the modulator before mounting the ring.
FIG. 4C shows the ring 22 being attached before the modulator is mounted and bonded. In FIG. 4D, the modulator 12 has been attached, and bonded with wires 56 in FIG. 4E. Referring back to FIG. 3, the window is added in step 50 and the entire package is tested in step 52. The resulting package is in FIG. 4F.
This packaging scheme allows the modulator to operate easily at relatively high data burst rates without an inordinate amount of wires from processor to modulator.
Thus, although there has been described to this point particular embodiments of a monolithic spatial light modulator package, and method of packaging it is not intended that such specific references be considered as limitations upon the scope of this invention except in-so-far as set forth in the following claims.

Today in New Orleans, U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman lifted President Obama's six-month ban on deepwater drilling:
Government lawyers told Feldman that ban was based on findings in a U.S. report following the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon rig off the Louisiana coast in April.
"The court is unable to divine or fathom a relationship between the findings and the immense scope of the moratorium," Feldman said in his 22-page decision. "The blanket moratorium, with no parameters, seems to assume that because one rig failed and although no one yet fully knows why, all companies and rigs drilling new wells over 500 feet also universally present an imminent danger."
The U.S. will appeal. In response to the ruling, drilling companies' shares jumped; Obama's slumped. This is shaping up to be an exceptionally bad day for the administration. First, the Rolling Stone article exposes the ugly disconnect that has emerged between top civilian and military leaders. Now, the president learns the limitations of executive decree.
It doesn't end there, however. In Pakistan, where Fareed Zakaria had assured us of "Obama's Foreign Policy Success," the prime minister has announced plans to move forward on importing natural gas from Iran, in defiance of Washington's wishes:
Pakistan's prime minister promised Tuesday to go ahead with a plan to import natural gas from Iran even if the U.S. levies additional sanctions against the Mideast country.
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani's comments came two days after the U.S. special envoy to Pakistan, Richard Holbrooke, cautioned Pakistan not to "overcommit" itself to the deal because it could run afoul of new sanctions against Iran being finalized by Congress.
As if Islamabad wasn't causing us enough trouble by failing to crack down adequately on the Taliban both in Pakistan and on its border.
This is what it looks like after moral authority erodes and leaves material authority hanging by a thread. In Afghanistan, Obama's focus has been on finishing up, not winning. In the Gulf of Mexico, it's been about optics. And in Iran, it's been about respecting the bad guys. None of that will prove effective among those who know their vital interests to be tied up in what the U.S. has been treating as peripheral concerns.
Up until now, nothing has managed to sway the president from his ideological course and stylistic approach. There is little reason to think the latest succession of mishaps will be any different. If Obama and company have access to a course-correction mechanism, they're sure holding out for as long as they can. The administration that swore never to let a crisis go to waste has certainly been given plenty to work with.

In a vote that divided the White House from many congressional Democrats, the House voted 301-118 on Wednesday to reauthorize controversial government-surveillance powers. The "no" votes included 111 Democrats.
The bill would reauthorize portions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that give government officials the power to eavesdrop on communications of non-U.S. citizens outside the United States. The White House says the bill is balanced between tools to prevent terrorist attacks and preserve civil liberties. "Intelligence collection under [the law] has produced and continues to produce significant information that is vital to defend the nation against international terrorism and other threats," White House officials said in a Statement of Administration Policy released on Monday.
The Obama administration has called the FISA reauthorization a top priority for intelligence agencies. It was championed by House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, while Senate Intelligence Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., is shepherding the bill through the Senate, where it has cleared the Judiciary Committee.
"Our national security agencies must be able to conduct surveillance of foreign terrorists and others so we can stop them before they disable our defenses, carry out a plot against our country, or kill innocent Americans," Smith said in a floor speech before the vote on Wednesday. "This bipartisan bill ensures that our country will be able to identify and prevent threats to our national security without sacrificing the civil liberties of American citizens."
But the legislation, which recalls the controversy over Bush-era wiretapping programs after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has sparked considerable opposition from civil liberties groups, businesses, and some lawmakers. While the bill drew strong support from both the White House and many congressional Republicans, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., has placed a hold on the bill in the Senate.
"Before Congress votes to renew these authorities, it is important to understand how they are working in practice," Wyden said when he placed the hold in June. "In particular, it is important for Congress to better understand how many people inside the United States have had their communications collected or reviewed under the authorities granted by the FISA Amendments Act."
A coalition of privacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, says the law could still allow warrantless surveillance of Americans if they are in communication with people outside the United States. Additionally, privacy groups join Wyden and Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., in questioning whether intelligence agencies have gone beyond the authority enacted in the law. "Despite evidence of impropriety, the government has not publicly detailed the extent of the problem or publicly explained what, if anything, it has done to prevent it from recurring," the coalition wrote in a letter to lawmakers on Tuesday.
Ed Black, president of the Computer and Communications Industry Association, said the reauthorization should be delayed until the true impact of the law on Internet freedom and civil liberties is known. "It makes little sense to rubber-stamp a program ahead of having the information needed to review it—that's why we have this review and renewal period," Black said in a statement. "No one will know if we have overreach or not as the implementation of this law has remained so shrouded in secrecy."

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- Federal disaster assistance for Indiana resulting from severe storms, tornadoes and flooding from May 30 through June 27, 2008 now stands at $175.2 million. The assistance is in the form of grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and disaster loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
The June presidential disaster declaration came in the midst of an unprecedented series of weather events that brought devastation to many areas of the state. Scenes of tornado destruction in locations such as Indianapolis, Moscow, Edinburgh and Camp Atterbury, along with heavy flooding in Columbus, Franklin, Martinsville and numerous other Indiana cities and towns are still vivid in the minds of most Hoosiers. As a result of the damage, 40 counties were made eligible for Individual Assistance (IA) and 46 counties eligible for Public Assistance (PA) from FEMA.
A total of 17,850 applicants have received more than $55.5 million in IA grants. This includes $46.3 million to temporarily house disaster victims or repair their homes. The total also includes $9.2 million for Other Needs Assistance (ONA). These grants go to individuals for replacement of certain personal property items such as furniture and clothing lost in the disaster. It can also include transportation, moving and storage, medical, dental and other disaster related expenses.
Indiana infrastructure was also greatly impacted by the disaster. To date, FEMA has obligated more than $46.6 million for PA projects. These projects include the repair of roads, bridges, buildings and other damaged public facilities. It also includes the reimbursement of state, local governments and certain private nonprofit agencies for disaster related expenses such as emergency protective measures and debris removal.
The SBA, one of FEMA's primary partners in disaster recovery, has provided more than $73.1 million in disaster loans to Indiana homeowners, renters and businesses of all sizes.
For more information on FEMA go to www.fema.gov.
FEMA coordinates the federal government's role in preparing for, preventing, mitigating the effects of, responding to, and recovering from all domestic disasters, whether natural or man-made, including acts of terror.

To anyone who has been following along, you know that my knee has been in pain which has left me to unable to squat. No back squats since June, no front squats since July. Many attempts at workout arounds have failed.
However, over the weekend, I had success (see post above)!
Here are parts of an e-mail I sent about the subject:
I wanted to let you know about a successful workout I had that
actually left my quads sore and enabled me to squat fully, thighs to calves
. Here is the method to my madness (and I'd love to hear your thoughts)
Swiss Ball Leg Curl to warmup - Reasons: 1) Hamstring dominant movements tend to not cause any pain or discomfort for me 2) John Meadows writes how a hamstring pump can help make squats safer 3) Any blood flow to the knee joint prior to squatting would be beneficial 4) Single leg work helps activate the musculature of the knee due to the stabilization required 5) Pre-fatigue legs somewhat so I won't have to use as much weight to get a hypertrophic effect from squatting 6) Keeping a tight glute bridge while doing swiss ball leg curls should help dynamically stretch the rectus femoris and hip flexors which, if tight, can contribute pain/discomfort to an already nagging knee joint when squatting.
Occluded Goblet Squats - Reasons: 1) Dan John writes how this is a great movement to naturally teach good squat position 2) Occluded to fatigue the legs more effectively 3) The occlusion obviously helped the pump immensely as just doing one set occluded pools lots of blood in the thighs, having a pump around the knee joint felt wonderful and the reps were deep and pain free.
* I also tried to keep constant tension to further amplify the occlusion effect by just barely avoiding lockout at the top.
Did some max height vertical jumps to finish off - Reasons: 1) Explosive movements are good for hitting fast twitch fibers 2) While normally an unloaded jump wouldn't be much of a stimulus, after the previous work, my legs were quite fatigued and these were challenging 3) Explosive work is safer after having a pump due to the cushion around the joints (and I must say, I haven't been able to jump pain free either, but during this workout, these jumps felt fine).
In terms of improving my leg workout from Saturday; I can definitely add more weight to the dumbbell. I think I would include a single leg movement as well to allow me to hit each quad more without needing excessive weight.
Also, if you've been following this journal, you know that my wife and I just brought a 3.5 year old into our home. And since most workouts will be when they are sleeping, the above referenced workout was perfect since it was completely quite.

BARNSTAPLE TOWN battled for a goalless draw at Willand Rovers in the Toolstation Western League last night.
Barum, with centre backs Jack Furzer, Liam Dart and Ian Wheatley in excellent form, defended superbly for their first clean sheet of the season.
Despite having the majority of possession, Willand were blunt in attack and wasted their best chance when Stan Paxton shot wide against his former club. The visitors were bright on the counter-attack with Mitch Cisneros and Jamie Micklewright denied by saves from Ryan Draper. However, the point gained was not enough to move Barnstaple off the bottom of the premier division.
They travel to Bristol Manor Farm on Saturday hoping to end a run of eight games without a win.

If you're looking for tablecloths and fine china, go elsewhere. If you're looking for great, fresh seafood at a reasonable price, this is your place

The best seafood in Boston. Period. Let the tourists go to all the other white table cloth, overpriced chowder houses. If you want no frills, just great, fresh food at extremely reasonable prices this is the place for you.

Best seafood i ever had! The portions were huge and the prices were extremely reasonable. I'll definitely go back!

Service was slow, but they add a gratuity to the bill so I guess there is no incentive to try. Clam chowder was lukewarm and not great. Lobster roll was good but that's just lobster meat on bread--I can get that anywhere else. With Ruffles chips. Microwave style chicken nuggets to round out an $80 lunch for four. For that money we could have done better all the way around at just about any other nearby restaurant. We won't be back.

After seeing Drydock cafe on the Phantom gourmet show I thought we must go here. what a waste of time. the food was ok. nothing you could not find closer to home and the service ! forget it the waitress was rude never introduced herself.After serving us clam chowder that was cold and calamri that taste like rubber we were ready to go

I've gone there the past two days, based off of the recommendation of the Phantom Gourmet. Yesterday had English-style fish & chips; today the hot pastrami sandwich on a bulkie roll. Turnaround from kitchen was very quick both days; portions are very large (satisfying). I'm not there mid-day for atmosphere; it's clean and there's lots of seating, so that should be good enough! Service: depends whom you get: yesterday a 5, today a 3. I will continue to go there for lunch and try other selections from their extensive menu.
Posted by Alby on 11/23/2010
I have been many times, and am almost always satisfied. Their lobster roll is unbelievable for 15 dollars, and their stuffed quahogs are the best I have had. It is more of a cafe though, and not a fancy restaurant.

The holiday season will officially be ushered in on Saturday as a day full of Christmas activities takes place on Front Street.
The day begins with the annual Christmas Parade, starting at 10 a.m.
Organizer Katie Maleckar said, as of late Tuesday, more than 100 groups and organizations had signed up to be a part of the parade and she expects more.
We always get a lot of people signing up at the last minute, Maleckar said.
The parade will be led by the Centers for Birds of Prey out of Awendaw, Maleckar said.
Bands from all four Georgetown County high schools are slated to participate and several middle and elementary schools will also march down Front Street.
Santa will once again provide the parade finale. After the parade he will remain in Francis Marion Park until 2 p.m. for pictures.
Although Christmas is the main theme of the parade, this year it will also be dedicated to the emergency workers who helped with the Sept. 25 fire that destroyed a large part of the 700 block of Front Street.
The seven grand marshals for the parade will be Georgetown City Fire Chief Joey Tanner, City Police Chief Paul Gardner, County Fire Chief Mack Reed Jr., Andrews Fire Chief Bobby Barrineau, Midway Fire/Rescue Chief Doug Eggiman, Murrells Inlet/Garden City Chief Norman Knight, and Sheriff Lane Cribb.
Peter Mitchell, one of the organizers of the events, said he is hoping a Guinness record will be set.
Mitchell researched the Guinness World Records website and searched the web for parades honoring first responders.
To date, there have been Veterans Day Parades and motorcycle parades honoring first responders, but no community parade with that theme, Mitchell said. If we achieve the turnout we expect, Georgetown will set a world record.
Maleckar said there is no rain date for the parade, so every effort will be made to hold the event on Saturday. On Tuesday, the National Weather Service was calling for a 40% chance of rain Saturday.
The deadline for signing up to be in the parade is 3 p.m. Thursday. To be in the parade, contact Maleckar at 527-8413.
After the parade, at 1 p.m., the Friends of the Library Christmas Tour of Historic Homes will take place. The tour features eight homes that have never been on any tour. Read more about the tour on page 1B of todays newspaper.
Boat Parade and tree lighting
There will be a second parade Saturday.
A Christmas boat parade will take place in the Sampit River beginning at 6 p.m.
The grand marshals will be Front Street fire victims and civic leaders John and Wanda Rogers.
Organizer Michele Overton said she is happy with the number of boats already signed up to participate but more are needed.
She said, weather permitting, the boats decorated in Christmas lights will make two laps around Goat Island. This makes the boats visible not only from the Harborwalk boardwalk but also from Bayview and East Bay Park.
To be a part of the parade, contact Overton at 546-8212 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
After the boat parade at 6:45 p.m. there will be a ceremony to light the citys Christmas tree at Francis Marion Park.
There will be Christmas caroling along with the tree lighting featuring the Swamp Fox Players with special appearance from the Wonderettes.

Gardening groups invited to sow seeds of success
Posted: February 06, 2013|
Gardening tips on how to shine in this years' Cornwall in Bloom competition are on offer at a free event.
Community groups and budding gardeners are invited to find out more about the annual competition at a free event in Liskeard on Saturday.
Green fingered experts will be on hand at Morley Tamblyn Lodge (10am-3pm) to advise on planting and grant funding. The day includes a tour of the gardens and free lunch.
Tracy Wilson, competition judge said: "The opportunity for people from right across Cornwall, involved in such a hugely diverse range of projects, to get together is so valuable.
"Not only will there be a lot of very useful information available, but the chance to swap experiences is almost equally important."
Cornwall in Bloom is run by Cornwall Council and Truro City Council.
A range of projects have been set up since the competition started in 2009, including woodland groups and allotment societies.
This year the event will include a schools' competition to encourage youngsters to grow as many potatoes as they can from a single seed potato.
Judging for the competition is in July and August.

COLLEGE PARK, MD.— Six members of the University of New Hampshire women's gymnastics team were named to the East Atlantic Gymnastics League All-Conference Teams at the annual awards banquet held at the University of Maryland.
Among the six gymnasts honored for UNH, four were freshmen, which bodes well for the future of the Wildcat gymnastics program.
Leading the way for UNH was freshman Helena Diodati (Scarborough, Maine) as she earned first-team honors on the bars and was added to the second team in the vault. Diodati recorded season-highs of 9.9 on bars and 9.825 in the vault.
Two freshmen led UNH on balance beam, as Taryn LaFountain (Utica, N.Y.) was named to the first team. She was strong on beam all season and posted a high score of 9.9. Earning second-team on beam was freshman Keeley Smith (University Place, Wash.) who posted a high mark of 9.925 in 2007.
Also being named to two different teams was junior Justine Turner (Salem, N.H.). This Granite-Stater competed most of the season with a painful knee injury that prevented her from competing in the all-around. However, she still excelled for the 'Cats and the EAGL coaches recognized her with second-team honors in the all-around and in vault. Turner was named EAGL gymnast of the week after a strong all-around effort in UNH's opening victory over Rutgers with a 38.925. She also recorded a 9.85 in the vault, her high mark of 2007.
Freshman Diane Grey (Spring, Texas) was named to the bars second team after recording a season-high of 9.8. She was also strong this season in vault (9.775).
Junior Fairen Plummer (Louisville, Ky.) showed great improvement on floor this season and was a team leader in the event. She was named to the EAGL second team and had a season-high score of 9.85.
All six gymnasts and their teammates will be returning to action tonight (Fri., March 30) when they compete at the EAGL Championships at the University of Maryland. The meet is set to begin at 6 p.m.

Help needed in removing duplicates from report - NS 6
I did try to search on forums to see if i can find a way to remove duplicates from the report that i am generating in my altiris ns 6, as i'm not that proficient in SQL, wanted a minimal way to edit my exisitng query to see if it can be done..but was unable to find much in the forums...
here is sql query that i'm running -
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
What are you trying to report on? I can't tell from your post what is duplicated. For example, suppose I had a table of favorite foods:
Vikram...palak paneer
If you write this query:
SELECT DISTINCT FirstName FROM Table
You will get these results:
If you write this query, however:
SELECT FirstName, FaveFood FROM Table
You will get these results:
Vikram...palak paneer
If you add DISTINCT, the duplicate result of "Mike pizza" is removed.
SELECT DISTINCT FirstName, FaveFood FROM Table
Vikram...palak paneer
Mike is still listed twice because there's the combination of "Mike pizza" and "Mike cheeseburger"
So the question to ask is: What are you trying to find with your query, and what sort of result are you wanting to ignore? What will you do with the results of your query once you refine it? Do you want no more than a single row per unique computer, but you're receiving multiple? If so, compare columns of results for any computer listed multiple times and find out what column is different. You can then modify your query to ignore the value you didn't want or drop the column entirely. Most likely, you're getting duplicates because of multiple values in Inv_AeX_OS_Add_Remove_Programs.
Mike Clemson, Senior Systems Engineer, ASC
Intuitive Technology Group -- Symantec Platinum Partner
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your reply, and the example (liked the Palak Paneer touch :)) gave a much better overview of the distinct command :)
I was trying to extract a report of all Java Versions installed on computers in my network, the duplicates that got generated in the end result ( i could figure out) was due to this table
"JOIN [Inv_AeX_EU_Contact_Detail] T4 on T1.[_ResourceGuid] = T4.[_ResourceGuid] "
the report was populating multiple entries of the same machine due to multiple exchange profiles exisiting on the machine - which was showing up under the "Display Name" column.
"Inv_AeX_OS_Add_Remove_Programs" table did populate multiple entries which were valid cos of different versions of Java installed on the computer.
Got rid of this table though - Inv_AeX_EU_Contact_Detail - reason why i had it in the first place was to populate Full Names of users also.
Not sure which table i can use to populate names without any duplicates..
Thanks again,
I don't have an NS6 environment to play with, but if you want to know the Full Name of the Last Logon User, join Inv_AeX_EU_Contact_Detail on Inv_AeX_AC_Identification on a unique piece of data they share. If Last Logon User is the network ID and network ID exists in Inv_AeX_EU_Contact_Detail, you could use this. Right now you are joining Inv_AeX_EU_Contact_Detail based on ResourceGuid which will pull in any Full Name associated with the computer.
Mike Clemson, Senior Systems Engineer, ASC
Intuitive Technology Group -- Symantec Platinum Partner
I took your SQL and reformated / re-variablized a bit to make it easier to follow. I would suggest pulling the full name like this:
SELECT DISTINCT Ident.[_ResourceGuid] AS 'GUID'
, Ident.[Name] AS 'Computer Name'
, Asset.[Serial number] AS 'Serial number'
, Ident.[Last Logon User] AS 'User'
, Ident.[OS Name] AS 'OS'
, ARP.[Name] AS 'Software'
, Asset.[Status] as 'Status'
,( SELECT TOP 1 Contact.[Exchange Display Name]
FROM [Inv_AeX_EU_Contact_Detail] Contact
WHERE Ident.[_ResourceGuid] = Contact.[_ResourceGuid]
--AND Contact.[Exchange Common User Name] = Ident.[Last Logon User]
ORDER BY Contact.[_id] DESC
) AS 'Display Name'
, ARP.[Version] as 'Version'
FROM [Inv_AeX_AC_Identification] Ident
JOIN [Inv_AeX_OS_Add_Remove_Programs] ARP ON Ident.[_ResourceGuid] = ARP.[_ResourceGuid]
JOIN [vAsset] Asset on Ident.[_ResourceGuid] = Asset.[_ResourceGuid]
WHERE ((ARP.[name] like 'Java%'
and ARP.[name] not like 'Java Auto Updater'
) and ARP.[Version] not like '')
ORDER BY Ident.[Name] ASC
The problem with this, as Mike mentions is that you may have multiple exchange profiles on a machine. My query will eliminate dups but only take the most recent exchange profile name. If one of the fields in the contact detail table matches the username format of the machine you can filter it something like I have in the commented line and that may be more accurate:
--AND Contact.[Exchange Common User Name] = Ident.[Last Logon User]
You will also get duplicate machine entries in the case that a machine has more than one Java version installed such as a 32-bit and 64-bit Java version installed, but I assume that is desireable.
