NEW YORK (AP) — New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg says it would be "a sad day for America" if opponents successfully kill plans for a mosque proposed near the World Trade Center site.
Bloomberg has been among a few outspoken elected officials supporting the plans for an Islamic center and mosque two blocks from ground zero.
On Friday, President Barack Obama also backed the right for the developers to build a mosque there. He added over the weekend that he was not commenting on the wisdom of building a mosque close to ground zero.
Some have said it is insensitive because the terrorists who struck the buildings in 2001 were Islamic extremists.
Bloomberg applauded Obama on TOday for backing the mosque. He declined to read what he called nuances into the president's additional remarks on Saturday.
"New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg says it would be "a sad day for America" if opponents successfully kill plans for a mosque proposed near the World Trade Center site."
And 911 wasn't a sad day for America? Build it somewhere else in the city idiots.
Where were all the right wing lunatics when WalMart began planning a store on the Gettysburg battlefield? Over 3,100 Union Soldiers lost their lives on the battlefield.
I would not allow for a mosque near ground zero, nor a church or temple for that matter.
But I suspect the right is attempting to restrict American's freedoms because the don't like muslims.
I can't imagine why we don't like Muslims they only killed 3000 Americans. This is like the Japanese building a shrine at pearl harbor in 1943
Yes they have a legal "right" to build it but I would starve before I worked on that building
And do any of you tearjerkers remember that it was at least 6 months before any islamic religious leaders actually condemmed the bombers. Until then the best you heard was a few feeble "they were misguided" statements.
Get your heads out of your rectums lemmings!
ps: Wonder if obowser had his teleprompter up and running when he made the first statement or was it up for when he did the soft shoe?
redvert.....Your right. When the president gave his speech about Islam he does appear to be reading it.
I suspect that they want to build this mosque as a shrine for the magnificent nineteen who perished on 9-11-01 .
This is The USA. Read your US Contstitution.
The first amendment to the US Constitution states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
The Muslims, Christians, Jews, etc. have the right to build a house of worship in accordance with local building and zoning codes.
redvert....What, no comment on Bush's speech in post #7 on this thread? Tell me what is worse about the remarks that Obama made in his speech compared too what Bush said?
Okay, let me take them one at a time.
First, it is when obowser makes a statement that he can not read from a teleprompter that he screws up.
Second, Bush was a a-hole for trying to play nice with Islam.
That being said, is it possible for a lib to face the fact that obowser can screwup without trying to deflect to Bush?
That is the difference between a pub and a lib, a pub can call out a pub but you libs must remain in suck up status!!!
redvert....You voted for bush twice, right?
You don't believe in freedom of religion, right?
Do you have a list of politicians that don't read their speeches from paper, her hand or a teleprompter?
Here is a hour long video of republicans reading questions and Obama answering them without anything written down and without a teleprompter. The questioning part starts twenty minutes in. You might not want to watch it, the republicans get owned.
Ohiowathcher you are an idiot of the highest magnatude. This is just a trophy mosque to say we did this took down the Twin Towers. When are wussyfied americans going to grow some and start saying enough is enough and we aren't going to be pushed around anymore? That nobody is crossing our borders illegally anymore and stop being walked on. You have a person that got elected to office that took down the american flags behind him when he speaks from the White House and put up a muslim drape behind him. When are you morons going to wake up and see that we are slowly losing our country?
Some of you should re-read the US Constitution because there are three items in the Constitution that it fails to meet. They had been offered another place to build and they turned it down. They are just trying to rub our noses in September 11th. Some of you are just to dumb to see that.
I didn't see President Bush bowing down apologizing to any foreign leaders but Mr Obuma was going around and kissing everbody's butt saying we were sorry for everything and anything. We have someone in office who is suspect at best of being a true american. We have no friend around the world and we should be doing like Isreal and not apologize for anything.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to microelectronics, including vacuum microelectronics, in particular to filed emission devices, specifically to filed emission cathodes, as well as to other field emission devices such as field emission displays, electron sources for electron guns, for microwave devices, etc.
2. Description of the Related Technology
During the last few years, various versions for realization of field emission, including the emission with using of defects in planar structures, have been considered, the defects acting as initiators of the field emission [1,2]. Field emitters such as tips and blades prepared by special methods, as field emission initiators, have many advantages in comparison with the defects from the point of view of feasibility to realize regular multiple arrays of the field emitters and controlled growing of the arrays on large areas. However, cases often occur at the practice when the regular arrays are inferior to structures with an incidental distribution of the defects in homogeneity.
Troubles in stability and controllability of electron flows given off by the field emitters are also known. Troubles with uniformity of the field electron emission of the multiple field emitter arrays are of the same nature. The uniformity is typically ensured by ballast resistors that equalize electron currents through different field emitters of the multiple field emitter arrays.
Various design and technological solutions are used for overcoming of the troubles (problems) with the field emitter.
A controlled electron source is known where the field emitter is connected to the drain of MOSFET that serves as a stable current electron source [3,4]. In such an electron source, the issue of stability and controllability of the field emission current is successfully solved. However, transistor p−n junctions in the electron source are placed in the substrate where the field emitter is placed, too, and a substrate, too. This increases significantly the area taken by a pixel and, accordingly, decreases the resolving power of field emission displays based on such electron sources.
A solution of the problems of stability and controllability combined with the spatial arrangement of the control components is successfully realized in the patent [5].
In the patent [6] a more complete using of the advantages of the field emitters is realized. The field emitter is considered as a spatially distributed object (various parts of which serve as functional components of a device) rather than as a "material point" of the field emission, without spatial characteristics of their various parts.
According to the patent [6] components for control of the electron source are transformed from the planar arrangements, as it was done in [3,4], into a vertical arrangement.
In some cases, however, such a control of the charge carrier flow can not be realized in [6]. This is related to the fact that the field emitter, being under the action of a rather high electric field, for example, of the anode one, is subjected to its influence not only to the area of the top of field emitter but also all over the body. As a result, such an electric field, acting to the field emitter, "shorts out" an action various barriers and over control components. The method for preparation of the field emitters by "wet" or "dry" etching used in the patent [6] results in formation of the emitters having small ratios of the length l of the active area to its diameter d. In this case, for controlling of the field emission current, a very large voltage must be used in order to compensate the action of the large external (for example, of anode) electric field.
Indeed, if the field emitter, containing a part with the p-type conductivity is placed in the electric field E (
In addition, in the patent [6] the control electrodes stimulate the flowing of the charge carriers through the active area and extract the electrons from the field emitter. In such a way, the electron emission is stabilized and controlled. At the same time the control electrodes in [6] does not lock the flow of the charge carriers through the active area. The above function of the control electrodes-to stimulate the flowing of the charge carriers, makes it necessary mentioned in [6] approximate sizes of p-area as" . . . formed to no more than several microns in thickness and generally to submicron order thickness" (see column 8, last paragraph in [6]). This means that the authors of [6] did not consider a possibility to provide the control electrode by "locking" function and, as a result, they considered the design which is enough just for stimulation and which; is not enough for locking the electrons moves under the influence of strong external electric field. However, it is known that if the control electrodes can lock the flow, it is possible to use small (in absolute value) negative voltage for the locking of the flow. This approach is very important from practical point of view-to use low voltage "electric keys" in different driving systems, for example, in the field emission displays. Such a version can not be realized in [6] due to small value of the characteristic l/d that is there approximately equal to 1 which is provided by the design proposed in [6].
An electron source is proposed, the source including a field emitter, a substrate, a source of charge carriers, and at least one ballast resistor. The field emitter is implemented of a whisker epitaxially grown on the substrate, and at least one ballast resistor is implemented as a barrier which is represented as a boundary in the body of the field emitter. The boundary is formed by a contact of materials with different kinds of conductivity.
In the electron source the field emitter is implemented of at least one semiconductor material. At least one barrier in the electron source is formed by junction of materials with different kinds of conductivity, such as n, n+, p, p+ kinds. At least one barrier is formed by an insulating layer that is across to direction of charge carriers flow.
The field emitter is formed by a tip, the tip consisting of two coaxial parts, a broad lower part and a narrower upper part. The field emitter can be also formed by a blade. The tops of the field emitter are sharpened and coated by diamond or diamond-like material, and the coatings can be sharpened, too.
At another version of the electron source the barrier is formed by a boundary between a body of the field emitter and a conducting layer placed on a surface of the field emitter. In the electron source, at least one ballast resistor is implemented as a barrier which is represented as a boundary in the field emitter body, the boundary being formed by contacts of the materials with different kinds of conductivity.
The field emitter is implemented of at least one semiconductor material, and the conducting layer is also implemented of at least one semiconductor material.
At least one barrier in the field emitter is formed by junction of materials with different kinds of conductivity, such as n, n+, p, p+ kinds.
In another version of the electron source at least one barrier is formed by an insulating layer that is across to the direction of charge carriers flow.
The field emitter can be formed either by a tip or by a blade. In the case of the tip shape the field emitter consists of two coaxial parts, a broad lower part and a narrower upper part The top of the field emitter is sharpened and coated by diamond or diamond-like material, the coating being sharpened, too. The diamond-like material consists of carbon atoms having a non-diamond structure, i.e., this relates to a crystal type. The diamond-like materials differ from a diamond in sp2 and sp3 orbital portions of chemical bondings. This term has been used worldwide for at least the past 10-20 years.
The source of the charge carriers is connected to the field emitter via substrate and/or a conducting layer placed on a surface of the field emitter directly or via an insulating layer.
In one more version of the electron source the substrate has a shape of a tip and is formed by an insulator and by a conductive layer, the ballast resistor being implemented by the layer.
The conductive layer in the electron source contains at least one barrier for charge carriers. At least one barrier in the electron source is formed by junction of materials with different kinds of conductivity, such as n, n+, p, p+ kinds, and at least one barrier is formed by insulating layer that is across to direction of charge carriers flow.
In one more version the electron source can be controlled containing at least one control electrode. The electron source can contain at least one active area in the body and/or on the surface of the field emitter. The active area can be realized in conducting layer placed on the surface of the substrate and/or of the field emitter directly or via an insulator layer.
At least one control electrode is placed close to one barrier for the charge carriers or on side surface of the field emitter via an insulator layer. The control electrode is separated from the field emitter by a vacuum gap or placed along the field emitter. The control electrode can have a direct contact with the side surface of the field emitter.
The substrate in the controlled electron source can be crystalline, or can be implemented by an insulator and a conductive layer placed on the insulator. The substrate can be implemented of the single-crystalline material with orientation (111).
The surface of the substrate can be coated by a material which is transparent for electrons and which prevents outlet of chemical elements from the surface of the controlled electron source, the material being diamond or diamond-like carbon.
The invention also considers a matrix of the controlled electron sources containing at least two controlled electron sources. The matrix can contain a two-dimensional system of mutually perpendicular rows of the controlled electron sources, at least one of the control electrode of the electron sources having a diaphragm shape and being implemented of diamond or diamond-like material.
The substrate on which the controlled electron source is arranged is implemented of conductive material placed on an insulator.
The matrix contains conductive buses which form two systems where buses of each of the systems are mutually parallel whereas the buses of two different systems are mutually perpendicular, the two systems being placed in two levels and separated by an insulating layer.
This invention proposes also a method for preparation of controlled electron sources including a formation on a solid substrate of field emitters each of that contains at least one transverse junction formed by materials having different electrical conductivity, a formation of at least one controlled electrode close to such junctions, where the field emitters are implemented of whiskers epitaxially grown by the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism. The implementation of the field emitters can include formation of the hollows in the substrate and deposition of solvent particles at the bottom of the hollows. The implementation of the field emitters can also include placing of solvent particles on the substrate and etching of the substrate around the particles.
As mentioned above, the method can include further procedure for formation of the field emitters, that is to say, placing of a source material, having a first kind of conductivity, opposite to the substrate with the solvent particles on it, growing of whiskers having the first kind of conductivity, stabilized cooling of the grown whiskers, having the globules on its tops, with an introduction of an inert gas into atmosphere, with simultaneous decreasing of the temperature of the substrate, changing of the source material for another source having a second kind of conductivity, stabilized heating of the grown whiskers, having the globules on its tops, with an introduction of an inert gas into atmosphere, with simultaneous increasing of the temperature of the substrate, and growing of whiskers having the second kind of conductivity. The method also includes possibility to change the source materials more than two times.
As mentioned above, the method can also include further procedure for formation of the field emitters includes growing of whiskers in a gaseous atmosphere containing the element or elements of which the substrate consists, introduction of doping gaseous compounds into the gas atmosphere. According to the method the formation of the field emitters can includes more than one procedure of introduction into the gas atmosphere of different gaseous doping compounds.
In this invention, the drawback is overcome owing to the fact that. Here, for stabilization and controlling of the field emission, a whisker ("filament crystal") characterized by l/d >> l is used. Here as discussed above, reference characters l and d represent length of the active area and width of the active area, respectively. A method for preparation of the whiskers with traverse p−n junctions is also proposed in this invention. As a result, the design proposed allows to control the field emission by locking the charge carrier flow.
The approach proposed is especially important at creation of effective long-living flat panel displays. Indeed, the higher the anode (accelerating) electric field, the more effective and long-living are their phosphors because, the efficiency is larger at higher voltages. Also at the increasing of anode voltage in such devices and, accordingly, decreasing of the current the durability of the phosphors is increased. The high accelerating voltage allows to use a protecting coating layer (for example, aluminum) that prevents the decomposition of the phosphors and increases the illumination owing to the light reflection. In addition, the decreasing currents are useful for the field emitters themselves (especially of semiconductor emitters) because at high currents the emitters are heated resulting in their degradation.
In this invention various possibilities for the stabilization and control of the field emission current based on using of epitaxially grown whiskers are proposed. By whisker growing, the ratio l/d can implemented as 5-10 and more times. In addition, with the whisker grown field emitters broad possibility for shape variation and creation of the control electrodes can be realized. In particular, a design with step-shaped emitter is proposed in
According to this invention, the field emitter is implemented of whisker that includes at least one barrier (for example, n, n+, p, p+ or p−n junction), i.e., the barrier is placed in the body of the field emitter, being at some height h >0 (
As it was mentioned above the active area can be placed both in the basis of field emitter [5], top [3,5] or substrate [3], and in the body of the field emitter [6]. In this invention a version is proposed when the active area is placed on side surface of the field emitter or in the body of the material that has direct or indirect contact with substrate or field emitter.
The active area can be placed also in thin surface conductive layer arranged on an insulating substrate. Thus, the version of the controlling electron source as purposed in this invention not only has solved the problem of transferring the stabilizing and controlling components from their planar arrangement to vertical one (and, in such a way, of increasing the resolution of the device) but also allows to conserve the controllability of the emission current by means of low voltage. In such a way, this allows to realize said controllability both in the case of low and high external electric field.
In the patent [6], as it was mentioned above, the method for fabrication of the field emitters with traverse p−n junctions. However, this method does not allow to obtain optimal geometric parameters of the field emitter that gives necessary functional characteristics.
The methods for growing oriented whiskers arrays are known [7,8,9,10]. The methods, however, do not contain procedures for preparation of the junction, for example, like p−n junctions. In this invention, such procedures are proposed.

Throughout the specification, the term "epitaxially grown" means 1) the tip has the same crystalline structure as the substrate, and 2) the tip has a "extended" form, so the relation of the length to its diameter significantly greater than 1 as reflected in the formula l/d>>1 and shown in

A control electrode is placed at a middle part of the tip which is implemented of p-type material.

On April 29, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov spoke over the phone with US Secretary of State John Kerry. The call was initiated by the US side.
May 2 marks the second anniversary of one of the most tragic events in the Ukraine conflict – the barbaric setting on fire by neo-Nazi Bandera followers of dozens of civilians who took refuge from them in the House of Trade Unions in Odessa. This grave crime, which has all the attributes of a crime against humanity, took the lives of 48 people, whose only fault was in openly expressing their civic stance against the anti-constitutional coup in Kiev in February 2014, and the unrest caused by the ultra-radicals in Ukraine.
28 April Mr Ambassador Yakovenko visited the Hermitage Foundation Gala dinner at Kensington Palace with participation of Professor Piotrovsky, Director of the State Hermitage Museum, this year's event celebrated the "Hermitage International Endowment Fund".

We have taken note of the UK's Human Rights and Democracy: The 2015 Foreign and Commonwealth Office Report, which was released a few days ago. The fact that it puts Russia in the spotlight did not come as a surprise to us.
On 28 April diplomats of the Russian Embassy visited Birmingham, presenting "Illuminated chronicles of Ivan the Terrible" to the University of Birmingham Library, which received books with gratitude.
Counsellor of the Russian Embassy Konstantin Shlykov presented Ushakov Medals and "70th anniversary of the Victory" medals for the Arctic Convoys veterans of Birmingham and surrounding areas. Lord Mayor Raymond Hassall, host of the event, made a welcoming speech.
The event was attended by representatives of local Russian community associations Elena Denezhkina and Nadezhda Loginova, awarded with special Letters of Recognition of Ambassador Alexander Yakovenko.
"Two households, both alike in dignity, from ancient grudge break to new mutiny" – applying Shakespeare's words to the current state of relations between London and Moscow wouldn't be much of an exaggeration. Still, another poet, the Russian Sergei Yesenin, noted that "When face to face we cannot see the face, we should step back for better observation". And while we have stepped back politically, we now have a clearer vision of the mutual cultural attraction. With diplomatic and economic contacts stalled, we realize the importance of the humanitarian dimension, people-to-people contacts which help get over whatever adverse geopolitical weather outdoors.

Elder Bednar invites Mormons to use social media to flood the earth with gospel messages
Michelle Tessier, Deseret News
PROVO — Elder David A. Bednar urged members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to use social media to flood the earth with gospel messages.
"What has been accomplished thus far in this dispensation communicating gospel messages through social media channels is a good beginning — but only a small trickle," said Elder Bednar of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles during BYU Education Week on Tuesday. "I now extend to you the invitation to help transform the trickle into a flood. Beginning at this place on this day, I exhort you to sweep the earth with messages filled with righteousness and truth — messages that are authentic, edifying, and praiseworthy — and literally to sweep the earth as with a flood."
Speaking to thousands gathered in the BYU Marriott Center, Elder Bednar addressed the crowd in front of giant screens, using multi-media messages in his presentation. He said Latter-day Saints today are blessed to live, learn and serve in this dispensation of time.
"An important aspect of the fulness that is available to us in this special season is a miraculous progression of innovations and inventions that have enabled and accelerated the work of salvation: from trains to telegraphs to radios to automobiles to airplanes to telephones to transistors to televisions to computers to satellite transmissions to the Internet — and to an almost endless list of technologies and tools that bless our lives," he explained. "All of these advancements are part of the Lord hastening His work in the latter days."
Messages and pictures that used to require days, weeks, and months to send and receive now can be communicated around the world in seconds, said Elder Bednar. Social media is evolving in and playing an increasingly important role in hastening the work of salvation, he acknowledged.
Speaking of Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest — and other such channels used by tens of millions of people — Elder Bednar declared it is no coincidence that these powerful communication innovations and inventions are occurring in the dispensation of the fulness of times.
"I believe the time has come for us as disciples of Christ to use these inspired tools appropriately and much more effectively to testify of God the Eternal Father and His plan of happiness for His children, of His Son Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world, to proclaim the reality of the restoration of the gospel in the latter days, and to accomplish the Lord's work," he said.
Elder Bednar shared several examples of gospel messages and images that have been created by the LDS Church and by its members and communicated to the world through social media, including: the church's Easter message "Because of Him;" the church-sponsored the social media effort "Did You Think To Pray;" the Instagram effort "Book of Mormon 365," and General Authority social media accounts. In addition, he said, many church leaders now have their own Twitter accounts and Facebook pages on which they communicate important gospel messages.
Elder Bednar related a final example of gospel content that can be shared through social media channels — the church's new film entitled "Meet the Mormons."
"A few years ago, the First Presidency approved the production of a feature-length film to help those not of our faith better understand Latter-day Saints as a people," he said, noting the film was originally scheduled to be shown in the Legacy Theater in Salt Lake City. "However, with the growth of the social media technologies we have discussed today, we realized that worldwide distribution of the film was now possible through various digital channels."

Two main suggestions were offered to the individuals present who hope to have a say in federal farm bill policy:
Develop a coalition of conservational interests, and start the dialogue as soon as possible.
Representatives from the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership and the Izaak Walton League of America hosted a farm conservation tour and farm bill policy forum on Wednesday. The group toured conservation projects on area farms, then returned to the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium for a presentation and roundtable discussion.
Attendees were urged to make their voices heard by state and federal government, and they were told the best way to achieve that was by creating a coalition of organizations and thinking ahead to the next farm bill.
"We want to have an impact on the next farm bill, frankly," said Tim Kizer, of the Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. "We want to be a catalyst for that type of coalition to work on this next farm bill."
The last federal farm bill was passed in 2008, and a new version is on Congress' agenda this summer. It will likely be implemented for another four or five years.
Members of organizations such as Trout Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, the Dubuque County Soil & Water Conservation District and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources -- among others -- attended Wednesday's event. So did aides from the offices of Iowa's area congressional contingent -- Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley and Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin and Rep. Bruce Braley.
Gwen Steel, of the Izaak Walton League, stressed it's not too late to give up hope of having an impact on the current farm bill. The Senate is debating its version; the House has yet to draft a bill. But she reiterated Kizer's stance that motivated parties can truly bring about desired change down the road if they start now.
"Working on the next farm bill doesn't start in 2016. It starts today," Steel said. "Make sure those conversations keep happening."
Steven Kline, also of the Roosevelt Conservation Partnership and a federal lobbyist, expressed support of the Senate's version of the farm bill. The House is reportedly looking to introduce more cuts in its version.
"I think the Senate will produce a bill we can support. I'm not sure what the House is going to do. I'm not sure the House knows what it's going to do," Kline said. "It's really difficult to see how (the Senate) farm bill could be better. It's very easy to see how it could be worse."

This invention relates to data communication systems, specifically to the interfacing and conversion of serial asynchronous digital data to serial synchronous digital data.
Serial digital data communication is broadly divided into two classes of operation: synchronous and asynchronous. Synchronous digital data communication refers to the transfer of system clocked digital data. It occurs when the digital data being transferred must conform to specific system timing constraints and boundaries, which partition the digital data into referenced intervals of time. Any transition of the digital data must occur at these boundaries. Asynchronous digital data communication refers to the transfer of digital data which does not adhere to the specific system timing constraints and boundaries and may be clocked or unclocked digital data.
Synchronous digital data is used most commonly in communication systems and information and data processing systems. Communication systems usually employ a method for synchronizing to a known information exchange rate. Information and data processing systems utilize synchronous digital data to control the flow of information, data, and events which ensures an orderly execution of various operations and logical decisions. Synchronous systems used in serial digital data communications produce a stream of data at a fixed clock rate, where the clock controls not only the data timing within a character, but also the character-to-character timing as well.
Asynchronous digital data is commonly used in control systems where the orderly execution of operations is controlled by a number of completion and initiation signals, often termed "handshaking". The completion signal of one set of operations will initiate the next consecutive set of operations. Asynchronous protocols used in serial digital data communications treat each character as a different message, and the characters appear in the data stream at arbitrary relative times. Within each character however, the data information (bits) is transmitted at a fixed predetermined clock rate. The protocols are actually synchronous within a character and asynchronous between characters, but they are called asynchronous, since the timing between characters is their distinguishing characteristic.
Conversion of asynchronous digital data to and from synchronous digital data is frequently performed when the synchronous intracharacter bit rate of the asynchronous digital data matches the synchronous digital data rate within tolerable limits. However, when the difference between the intracharacter bit rate of the asynchronous digital data and the synchronous digital data rate exceed tolerable limits, specialized circuits and data formats or protocols must be incorporated, such as the Asynchronous-to-Synchronous Data Concentration System presented in U.S. Pat. No. 4,048,440.
As described here and below, the present invention provides enhancements to the Asynchronous-to-Synchronous Data Concentration System presented in U.S. Pat. No. 4,048,440, exemplified by the increased tolerance to bit rate mismatch and programmable character length selection. Also, the invention can be implemented using total digital design architecture enabling gate array integrated circuit implementation.
The present invention provides a character length programmable asynchronous-to-synchronous converter. A start detector means provides for asynchronous start bit recognition. Clock pulses for sampling and counting the asynchronous data bits are provided by a bit counter clock. Asynchronous bit counter means provides for asynchronous character separation control by counting each sampled asynchronous data bit. Asynchronous data bit latching and character storing is provided by an asynchronous data sampler. Data ready flag means provides for communication between asynchronous control and synchronous control. Logical switching and routing of the serial asynchronous data and character length selection bits, based on character length selection, are provided by logic steering gates. Break detector means provides for break recognition, and timing for break extension is provided by a break extender. Interfacing between asynchronous character data and serial synchronous data bit communication is provided by a synchronous transmitter. Gate means provides the break detector means with a switch to lock synchronous communications to a low (zero or space) immediately upon detection of a "break" and resume synchronous communications after a break extension.
The operational enhancements and features of this invention become more apparent from a consideration of the drawings and following detailed description.
FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram of the asynchronous-to-synchronous converter of the present invention.
FIGS. 2A-H form a detailed schematic of the asynchronous-to-synchronous converter of the present invention.
The Asynchronous-to-Synchronous Converter of the present invention is shown in simplified block diagram form in FIG. 1, which displays the required input signals, functional blocks, control and data paths necessary for conversion. Generally, the converter 10 will convert the higher or lower intracharacter bit rate of the serial asynchronous formatted digital data stream to the lower or higher bit rate of the serial synchronous digital data stream respectively. The asynchronous data input must be characterized by a start bit, a predetermined number of data bits (7,8, or 9), and a stop bit. In addition, the converter requires two digital inputs identifying the predetermined number of asynchronous data bits and two clock inputs, a data rate clock for synchronous transmission and a 16X asynchronous data rate clock input. Output from the converter will be a guaranteed start bit followed by the predetermined number of data bits. The stop bit may or may not be present after the data bits. Stop bit transmission frequency will be determined by the ratio of the asynchronous data rate to the synchronous data rate, and will decrease as this ratio increases. A break detector and extender is also included in the converter which monitors the input asynchronous data stream looking for a character consisting of all low bits (zeros or spaces) and missing the stop bit. Upon detection and coincident with the synchronous data rate clock, synchronous transmission will immediately go to a low (zero or space). The break extender will ensure that a minimum predetermined number of zeros will be sent by the converter when a "break" has been detected. This minimum predetermined number of zeros is based on the asynchronous data bit selection.
Operation of converter 10 will be described in more detail below utilizing 57,600 bits/second as the serial asynchronous data baud rate and 56,000 bits/second as the serial synchronous data baud rate; however, the circuit is in no way limited to operation at these speeds.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram representation of the Asynchronous-to-Synchronous Converter, which comprises Start Detector 12, Bit Counter Clock 14, Async Bit Counter 16, Async Data Sampler 18, Data Ready Flag 20, Steering Gates 22, Break Extender 24, Break Detector 26, Sync Transmitter 28, and AND Gate 30.
Serial asynchronous data is fed to Start Detector 12 which monitors the data for a start pulse by sampling the data on each rising transition of the 16X Async Clock. During this time, the serial asynchronous data is also routed, via Steering Gates 22, to Break Detector 26 and Async Data Sampler 18 inputs corresponding with the bit selection inputs to Steering Gates 22.
Start pulse recognition occurs when a low (zero or space) has been sampled on the serial asynchronous data port, thus causing Start Detector 12 to initialize and enable Bit Counter Clock 14, Async Bit Counter 16, and Break Detector 26. Async Bit Counter 16 and Break Detector 26 contain synchronous 4-bit counters whose initial values at this time are determined by the bit selection inputs to Steering Gates 22. Bit Counter Clock 14 also contains a synchronous 4-bit counter that is initialized to a decimal 9 count (1001) at this time. For the given baud rates, the decimal 9 count has been determined to be the optimum initialization value for Bit Counter Clock 14.
Bit Counter Clock 14 will now begin to count the rising transitions of the 16X Async Clock and effectively divide the 16X Async Clock by sixteen. At every clock count of decimal 15 (1111), Bit Counter Clock 14 will provide a clock pulse to Async Bit Counter 16, Async Data Sampler 18, and Break Detector 26. Async Data Sampler 18 will serially shift each asynchronous data bit in for each rising transition of the clock pulse received, while Async Bit Counter 16 counts the rising transitions of the these clock pulses. Break Detector 26 will also count the rising transitions of these clock pulses if at that time, the asynchronous data bit being sampled by Async Data Sampler 18 is a low (zero or space).
Character capture is completed when Async Bit Counter 16 reaches a decimal count of 15 (1111). At this time, Async Data Sampler 18 shift register will contain the start bit, data bits, and stop bit. Async Bit Counter 16 now resets Start Detector 12 and provides Async Data Sampler 18 with the signal to move the character from the shift register to the holding register. Data Ready Flag 20 also senses the signal from Async Bit Counter 16 to Async Data Sampler 18 and will send a transfer command to the Sync Transmitter 28. The next rising transition of the synchronous data clock will trigger the parallel transfer from the holding register in Async Data Sampler 18 to the shift register contained in Sync Transmitter 28. Data Ready Flag 20 will reset on this same synchronous data clock rising transition. Upon receipt of the character, Sync Transmitter 28 will immediately place the most significant bit (start bit) of the character on the input to AND Gate 30 and begin shifting the remaining character bits to AND Gate 30 at the synchronous data clock rate.
The character bits sent from Sync Transmitter 28 to AND Gate 30 will pass through AND Gate 30 as serial synchronous data unless Break Detector 26 has detected a "break", which can be detected as a character containing all lows and no stop bit. Detection occurs if Break Detector 26 reaches a decimal count of 15 (1111) which will be coincident with the decimal count of 15 (1111) reached by Async Bit Counter 16. The next rising transition of the synchronous data clock will cause Break Detector 26 to disable AND Gate 30 thus holding serial synchronous data at a low (zero or space). Break Detector 26 will also at this time hold a low (zero or space) on the serial input to the shift register contained in Sync Transmitter 28 and enable Break Extender 24. The state of AND Gate 30 and Sync Transmitter 28 will be held until Break Extender 24 has counted the required number of rising transitions of the synchronous data clock. The required count is determined by the bit selection bits fed to Break Extender 24, via Steering Gates 22. Once the required count is reached, Break Extender 24 signals Break Detector 26. Break Detector 26 now will enable AND Gate 30 and release the low (zero or space) on the serial input to the shift register contained in Sync Transmitter 28.
Start Detector 12 by now has disabled Bit Counter Clock 14, Async Bit Counter 16, and the counter in Break Detector 26. At this time, the stop bit should still be present on the serial asynchronous data input provided Break Detector 26 did not detect a "break", and Start Detector 12 is prepared to detect the start bit of the next character. Operation of the converter will now repeat as previously described.
The intracharacter bit rate of the serial asynchronous data may vary from the serial synchronous data rate by as much as +5.0% and -5.0%. A faster serial asynchronous data rate is absorbed by occasionally dropping a stop bit out of a current character in the shift register of Sync Transmitter 28. Stop bit deletion will occur when the character transfer is made between Async Data Sampler 18 and Sync Transmitter 28. Each character will contain a start bit, so a missing stop bit can be reinserted by the receiving circuit.
Using 57,600 bits per second for the serial asynchronous data rate yields a conservative 2.86% increase in data rate; however, reliability increases as the difference between the two data rates decreases. Increasing this difference may require changing the initialized value loaded into Bit Counter Clock 14. Changing the initialized value will move the sampling point in each serial asynchronous data bit and may increase reliability of the converter.

Go Inside the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, Humanity's Protection Against the Apocalypse
As if Al Gore's documentary, or even his divorce, didn't shake our faith in humanity enough, now we have this: the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which is designed to protect us from our own stupidity. You know, like global warming and nuclear war.
It's a seed vault buried inside a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen (retirement home to all former MLB players, I've heard), high enough to avoid the flood waters of melting ice caps and deep enough in the earth to survive Ahmadinejad's "peaceful" nuclear program.
The video above comes from National Geographic and it's worth a watch, even if it's a little perky for such a grim subject. A tip of the hat to Serious Eats for alerting us to the video.

I've been using the product for a very long time, it's indeed an awesome product. Especially for family with little children, it's kid's safe product.
However, the end to end shopping experience on myotcstore is otherwise. Essentially, it does not matter the preferences for the shipping (standard or expedite), the processing time for the order take extremely long time (few weeks in my case). I was under the false assumption that I will get the package in 7 days, end up in few weeks.
Grew up using this product, love the way it works. Probably the original lip balm to todays products.

Has a 1.86 ERA in middle relief
Former St. Mary's pitcher Eric Wordekemper is already a few steps ahead of most minor league pitchers, even some hard-throwing rookie pitchers in the big leagues.
"I've been able to throw strikes consistently and also keep the ball low in the strike zone," Wordekemper said Tuesday night in an interview with the Pilot Tribune. "I've established good command of my fastball and so far, I've been able to spot it pretty well."
A 2002 St. Mary's grad who also pitched three years with Division I Creighton University in Omaha, Wordekemper was drafted two summers ago by the Yankees and moved from rookie ball to A ball over the offseason.
He's been pitching in middle relief for the Class A Charleston Riverdogs in South Carolina this summer and co-leads the team's pitching staff with 30 appearances.
"I've had a few starts here and there," Wordekemper said, "but ultimately, I'm going to be a bullpen guy. It's something I've grown accustomed to and I'm fine with it."
As of this week, Wordekemper had thrown 48 1/3 innings, giving up fewer hits than innings pitched (44) while walking just 12 and striking out 41. Opposing batters are hitting just .230 against the hard-throwing righthander.
In his 30 appearances, he has an earned run average of 1.86 with a 2-2 record and four saves.
The Storm Lake native was asked he if he expected to move up in the Yankee organization because of his recent success.
"They don't talk much with you about your progress or where you'll be this year or next year," Wordekemper said. "But if they do talk to you, you go into the manager's office and you are told you're going here or there. It's pretty sudden, so you can't worry about it a lot. The important thing for me right now is to continue my development as a pitcher and keep improving."
Being able to spot the fastball is a key to any pitcher's success, Wordekemper said.
"What you want to do with most hitters is get ahead with the fastball, then use your other pitches as effectively as you can," he added. "If you mix in a good fastball in the count, a hitter doesn't know what to expect."
Wordekemper added that since pitching with Creighton, he has dropped one pitch in his repertoire and added another.
In college, he said, he hurt his arm by throwing a curveball. He also threw a fastball, slider and changeup.
By the time he was drafted by the Yankees in June of 2005, Wordekemper had already dropped the curveball.
Last spring, Yankees pitching coach Nardi Contreras taught him the split finger fastball, a pitch that dives as it reaches the hitter but is just a few mph slower than the fastball. He still throws the slider.
Wordekemper added that his split finger pitch is still a work in progress.
"For most pitchers, it's not a pitch that you can master overnight," he said. "The more I use it in game situations, the better command I'll have."
During his relief stints, Wordekemper had worked as many as five innings a a time.
"Basically, I'm pitching in middle relief," he said. "Things have been going really well for me," he said. "We don't get paid that well at this level, but on the other hand, we're playing a game we love."
The Riverdogs played .500 baseball during the first half of the season, but haven't fared as well in the second half.
The team snapped a five-game losing streak this week. As of Tuesday, the Riverdogs were 13-18 but had gone 2-8 in their last ten games.
"We've hit a little skid over the past couple weeks," he said. "Hopefully, we'll finish strong."
The Riverdogs are located in historic Charleston near Ft. Sumter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired.
"It's a great place to live, with a lot of history," he said.
Wordekemper was also asked about the stereotypes of minor league baseball that and has been portrayed in movies like Bull-Durham.
"Some of that stuff is true and some of it isn't," he said.
"The bus rides do get to be a little long," he said. "August is going to be tough for us; we have two eight-game road trips."
On the other hand, as Wordekemper said, playing the game you love a chasing a dream only a select few are given a chance at makes it all worthwhile.
