This invention relates to an apparatus for separating the luminance and chrominance components Y and C from a composite video signal in a television receiver.
In a color television (TV) system (such as NTSC), the luminance and chrominance components ("luma" and "chroma", respectively) of a composite color television signal are disposed within the video frequency spectrum in a frequency interleaved relation, with the luma components at integral multiples of the horizontal line scanning frequency and the chroma components at odd multiples of one-half the line scanning frequency. In the NTSC system, the upper portion (i.e., about 2.1 to 4.2 MHz) of the video frequency spectrum (0 to 4.2 MHz) is shared by chroma components and high frequency luma components. The lower portion (below about 2.1 MHz) of the video frequency spectrum is occupied solely by luma components. Various comb filter arrangements for separating the frequency interleaved luma and chroma components of the video signal are known, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,143,397 (Holmes) and 4,096,516 (Pritchard).
Comb filters operate on the premise that the composite video signal from horizontal-line-to-horizontal-line or field-to-field or frame-to-frame is highly correlated. When this assumption fails, as it frequently does with program video, certain anomolies occur in the reproduced images. The anomolies result from imperfect cancellation of chroma in the luma output, and vice versa. For example, if there is an abrupt change in the amplitude of chroma between adjacent lines, scintillating serrations will occur along the horizontal edges displayed in the image for a line comb filtered (hereinafter "combed") signal. These serrations (called "hanging dots") are due to incompletely cancelled chroma in the luma channel. Alternatively, if there is an abrupt change in the luma amplitude between horizontal lines, anomalous color saturation effects will be displayed along horizontal edges. Similar undesirable effects occur in the field and frame combed signals.
Adaptive comb filters eliminate some of these artifacts caused by imperfect cancellation of chroma in the luma output, and vice versa. The adaptive comb filters typically use alternate Y/C separation functions (e.g., 1-H line comb, 2-H line comb, etc.) and, for each of these functions, calculate an index of correctness. The Y/C separation function with the best index is selected for generating the combed luma and chroma components. U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,050,084 (Rossi) and 4,636,840 (McNeely et al.) disclose illustrative Y/C separation systems having adaptive features.
In the Rossi's adaptive Y/C separation apparatus, the incoming (or undelayed) composite video signal B is bandpass filtered (hereinafter "bandpassed") to pass a band of frequencies (about 2.1 to 4.2 MHz) including the interleaved chroma components and the high frequency luma components. The bandpassed incoming composite video signal Bb is delayed twice by two, 1-H delay lines to develop a pair of bandpassed, 1-H delayed and 2-H delayed composite video signals Mb and Tb respectively. The capital letters "B", "M" and "T", respectively, stand for the bottom, middle and top horizontal lines of the video signal, and the subscript "b" represents a bandpassed signal.
Rossi uses a plurality of comparators to compare the three bandpassed comosite video signals Bb, Mb and Tb (i.e., undelayed, 1-H and 2-H delayed signals, respectively). Depending upon the outcome of the comparison, one of several Y/C separation functions (e.g., 1-H comb, 2-H comb, etc.) is selected to the exclusion of others to develop a bandpassed chroma signal Cb.
The incoming composite video signal B is applied to a third 1-H delay line to develop a 1-H delayed (non-bandpassed) composite video signal M. The bandpassed chroma signal Cb is subtracted from the 1-H delayed (non-bandpassed) composite video signal M to generate the luma signal Y, having an uncombed low frequency portion (below 2.1 MHz) and a combined high frequency portion (between 2.1 and 4.2 MHz).
One of the limitations of Rossi is that he employs arbitrary reference values, which makes the effectiveness of his apparatus variable with signal conditions. Another limitation of Rossi is that his decision process compares single samples from each of the lines (to decide which Y/C separation function is best), and is, thus, susceptible to errors due to noise.
Still another limitation is that Rossi uses three (3) 1-H delay lines for generating the four signals (Bb, Mb and Tb and M) needed to develop the separated luma and chroma components Y and Cb. Delay lines are relatively expensive to implement, both in analog and digital domains (but, particularly, in the digital domain). A further limitation of Rossi is that he uses an "all-or-nothing" selection process. (One of the Y/C separation functions is used to the exclusion of all others.)
The adaptive Y/C separation apparatus disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,636,840 (McNeely et al.) overcomes some of the aforesaid limitations of Rossi. Pairs of composite video signals are developed, which are delayed from each other by an integral number of horizontal line periods (e.g., 1H, 263H, 525H, etc.). Each pair of video signals is used to generate separated luma and chroma components Y and C, and an index ("sum of cross differences") that measures the correctness of the accompanying Y and C components. These measures of correctness are compared. Depending upon the results of comparison, the Y and C components associated with the best measure of correctness are selected for further processing in the TV receiver.
McNeely et al. do not rely on arbitrary reference values, thereby providing a more accurate Y/C separation. Furthermore, McNeely et al. use a pair of samples (instead of a single sample) from each of the lines for calculating cross differences, thereby increasing noise immunity of the selection process. However, McNeely et al. use on "all-or-nothing" selection process similar to Rossi.
Another limitation of McNeely et al. is that their separated luma component is subjected to a "combing" effect over its entire band (0 to 4.2 MHz). The combing action over the high frequency band portion of the video frequency spectrum (which is shared with chroma components) has the desired effect of deleting chroma components from the luma output. Extension of this combing action into the low frequency band portion (which is not shared with the chrominance signal components), however, is not needed to effect the desired removal of chroma components, and serves only to unnecessarily delete luma components. Components in the lower end (e.g., below about 1 MHz) of the unshared band which are subject to such deletion are representative of "vertical detail" luma information. Preservation of such vertical detail is desirable to avoid loss of vertical resolution in the luma content of the displayed image.
The present invention discloses an improved Y/C separation apparatus of the adaptive type. The subject apparatus includes means coupled to the incoming composite video signal B for producing (1) a non-bandpassed once-delayed composite video signal M, (2) a bandpassed incoming composite video signal Bb, (3) a bandpassed once-delayed composite video signal Mb and (4) a bandpassed twice-delayed composite video signal Tb.
A control circuit coupled to receive the three bandpassed composite video signals Bb, Mb and Tb provides a signal K for controlling the relative weights assigned to the three bandpassed signals in a manner that reduces cross contamination of the separated components. A combining circuit coupled to receive the respective bandpassed composite video signals Bb, Mb and Tb and respoonsive to the control signal K develops a combed chroma signal Cb, where:
Cb =1/2Mb -1/2[K�Tb +(1-K)�Bb ](1)
The luma signal Y is derived by subtracting the combed chroma signal Cb from the once-delayed (non-bandpassed) composite video signal M, i.e., ##EQU1## where the subscript "1" represents low frequency components.

In the DRAWINGS, the lines interconnecting various blocks represent either single conductor connections carrying analog signals or multi-conductor buses carrying multi-bit parallel binary digital signals, as the case may be.
It will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the TV signal processing art that the invention may be practiced on either digital or analog representations of the composite video signal. For the purposes of the detailed description, however, it will be assumed herein that the composite video signal is an 8-bit binary digital signal and that the composite video signal is in the NTSC format.
Referring to FIG. 1, an adaptive Y/C separation apparatus, pursuant to the subject invention, is designated by a numeral 10. As shown therein, an incoming or undelayed composite video signal B from the output 12 of a video detector stage (not shown) in the TV receiver is applied to an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 14. The A/D converter 14 translates the incoming composite video signal B into a digital signal comprising successive 8-bit samples or words in response to a sampling clock signal SCS. As previously indicated, the capital letters "B", "M" and "T" stand for the bottom, middle and the top horizontal video lines as displayed on the kinescope, and the subscript "b" stands for a bandpassed signal.
It is assumed herein that the sampling clock signal SCS has a frequency (i.e., about 14.3 MHz) that is four (4) times the frequency Fsc (i.e., 3.58 MHz) of the color subcarrier signal CSS (a burst of which is transmitted during the horizontal blanking interval), and is phase locked therewith. In FIG. 2, a functional block 16 represents the clock signal source, which in response to the color subscript signal burst develops the 4 Fsc, phase-locked sampling clock signal SCS. It will be understood that all the functional elements shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 6 are timed by the sampling clock signal SCS.
The incoming digital composite video signal B at the output of the A/D converter 14 is applied to a first bandpass filter 18 and a first 1-H delay element 20. The bandpass filter 18 is operative to pass a band of frequencies (e.g., about 1 to 4.2 MHz) including the shared upper region (i.e., about 2.1 to 4.2 MHz) of the video frequency spectrum. The bandpassed incoming composite video signal at the output of the bandpass filter 18 is identified as Bb. U.S. Pat. No. 4,524,423 (Acampora) described an illustrative digital bandpass filter circuit.
The 1-H delay element 20 delays the incoming composite video signal B by one horizontal line scanning period to develop a once-delayed (non-bandpassed) composite video signal M. The once-delayed composite video signal M is coupled to a second bandpass filter 22, which has the same passband as the first bandpass filter 18 (i.e., about 1 to 4.2 MHz). The bandpassed once-delayed composite video signal at the output of the second bandpass filter 22 is labeled as Mb. A second 1-H delay element 24 delays the bandpassed once-delayed composite video signal Mb by one horizontal line period to produce a bandpassed twice-delayed composite video signal Tb.
In the embodiment described herein and shown in FIG. 1, the incoming (non-bandpassed) composite video signal B and the bandpassed once-delayed composite video signal Mb are each delayed by one horizontal line period (1H) by the respective delay elements 20 and 24. Alternately, the video signals B and Mb may be delayed by any suitable integral number of horizontal line periods. For example, for a field comb arrangement, the 1-H delay elements 20 and 24 are replaced by elements that delay the respective input signals by one field period (i.e., 263H). For a frame comb arrangement, the respective signals are delayed by one frame period (i.e., 525H).
It is noted that the first delay element 20 has a passband (e.g., 0 to 4.2 MHz) that allows the incoming non-bandpassed composite video signal B to pass through without significant distortion. On the other hand, the second delay element 24 has a passband (e.g., 1 to 4.2 MHz) that can pass the bandpassed once-delayed composite video signal Mb. It means that a simpler, relatively inexpensive configuration may be used for the second delay element 24, vis-a-vis the first delay element 20.
The three bandpassed signals Bb, Mb and Tb (i.e., incoming, once-delayed and twice-delayed signals, respectively) are coupled to a control signal generating circuit 26. The circuit 26 develops a signal K that controls the relative mixing of the three bandpassed signals Bb, Mb and Tb such that the contamination of the separated chroma signal by the high frequency luma components is held to a minimum. The construction and operation of the control signal generating circuit 26 will be described in detail in conjunction with FIG. 3.
The non-bandpassed once-delayed composite video signal M is coupled to a combining circuit 28 along with the three bandpassed signals Bb, Mb and Tb. The combining circuit 28, responsive to the mixing control signal K, generates the separated luma and chroma signals Y and Cb in the manner described in detail hereinbelow.
The combining circuit 28 comprises a mixing circuit 30 (also known as a "soft switch"), a subtracter 32, a divider 34 and another subtracter 36. The mixing circuit 30 is coupled to receive the bandpassed incoming and twice delayed composite video signals Bb and Tb. Responsive to the control signal K, the mixing circuit 30 develops a weighted bandpassed composite video signal Wb, where
Wb =K�Tb +(1-K)�Bb (3)
The subtracter 32 subtracts the weighted composite video signal Wb from the bandpassed once-delayed composite video signal Mb to develop an output signal, which is divided by a factor of 2 to generate a normalized chroma signal Cb. (See EQUATION 1.)
The second subtracter 36 subtracts from the non-bandpassed once-delayed composite video signal M the bandpassed chroma signal Cb to produce the separated luma signal Y. (See EQUATION 2.) The combined chroma signal Cb is applied to a third bandpass filter 38 to further limit the frequencies in the chroma channel to a range extending from about 3.1 to 4.1 MHz (i.e., about 3.58�0.5 MHz). Digital-to-analog (D/A) converters 40 and 42, responsive to the clock signal SCS, translate the digital luma and chroma signals into their analog counterparts for further processing.
It is noted from EQUATION 2 that the separated luma signal Y is combed only in the upper region (i.e., about 1.0 to 4.2 MHz) of the video frequency spectrum where the high frequency luma and chroma components are interleaved. The luma signal Y is, however, left intact (i.e., not combed) in the lower frequency region (e.g., below 1.0 MHz) where only the vertical detail is present.
In the FIG. 1 apparatus, appropriate matching delays 42, 44, 46 and 48 are inserted to compensate for the delay variations in the different signal paths.
The principles underlying the generation of the mixing control signal K will be first explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. The actual circuit for producing the mixing control signal K will be later described with reference to FIG. 3.
FIG. 4 represents a waveform diagram of portions of three horizontal lines, which are separated by an integral number of horizontal line periods (i.e., 1H, 263H, 525H, etc.). If an interline comb filter is employed for separating the luma and chroma signals Y and Cb, the three lines are three successive horizontal lines in one image field. If an interfield comb filter is used the three lines are separated by 263 horizontal lines. In an interframe comb filter, the three lines are separated by 525 horizontal lines.
The video signal is drawn as a sinusoid to represent the relative phase of a chroma signal (of a particular color) between lines. The signal is assumed to be sampled at four times the chroma subcarrier rate with representative sampling points designated +, 0, -, 0, +, etc. The (�) points designate sampling instants at the positive and negative phase excursions of the chroma signal. The 0 points designate sampling points at the zero crossings. However, the 0 sampling points do not necessarily have zero values since the composite video signal is the sum of chroma and luma signals. Nor is it necessary that sampling be performed at the phases shown. FIG. 5 corresponds to FIG. 4 with the waveforms eliminated for purposes of clarity. In both FIGS. 4 and 5, the small letters a,b,c,d,e . . . h,j,k,l,m . . . and v,w,x,y and z represent the intensity (or amplitude) values of the picture elements (or pixels) from the three lines designated as Tb, Mb and Bb (i.e., twice delayed, once delayed and undelayed video signals, respectively).
In the comb filtering process, the horizontal lines with antiphase chroma are subtractively combined to produce the separated chroma signal C (with energy concentrated at odd multiples of one-half the horizontal line scanning frequency). If the amplitude of the luma signal Y is identical between the lines combined, the luma signal is completely cancelled by the subtraction process. However, if the amplitude of the luma signal differs between lines, the amount of cancellation of the undesired luma signal Y in the separated chroma signal Cb is incomplete.
An estimation of how much weight is to be given to the pixels from each of the lines is determined by a comparison process. This is done by calculating a first pair of cross differences CD1 and CD2 using a set of four pixels (i.e., pixels j,y and l,w) from the two lines defined by the bandpassed undelayed and once-delayed video signals Bb and Mb. The pixel pairs j,y and l,w have like sampling phases (e.g., both positive or negative phases with respect to the color subcarrier) and are disposed symmetrically on the opposite sides (i.e., left and right) of the pixel of interest (i.e., k). EQUATIONS for CD1 and CD2 are:
CD1 =j-y (4)
CD2 =1-w (5)
A second pair of symmetrically-disposed cross differences CD3 and CD4 is determined similarly by using another set of four pixels (i.e., 1,b and j,d) from the two lines formed by the bandpassed once-delayed and twice-delayed video signals Mb and Tb, respectively. EQUATIONS for CD3 and CD4 are:
CD3 =j-d (6)
CD4 =1-b (7)
To calculate the control signal K, the absolute values of the first pair of cross differences CD1 and CD2 are determined, and the maximum value MAX1 between the two is established. Thus,
Similarly, another maximum value MAX2 is computed as follows:
The control signal quotient Kq is determined from the following EQUATION: ##EQU2##
If MAX1 and MAX2 are both equal to zero, then Kq is set equal to 1/2.
The quotient Kq is then quantized into 33 different levels (i.e., 32 steps) to define the digital control signal K applied to the mixing circuit or soft switch 30, as indicated above.
The mixing circuit 30 is so arranged that the larger the control signal K the higher the weight given to the pixel c from the top line Tb. Thus, if MAX1 >>>MAX2, the pixel c from the top line Th will be given the weight of one and the pixel x from the bottom line Bb will be given the weight of zero. At the other extreme, if MAX1 <<<MAX2, the pixel c will be the weight of zero and the pixel x will be given the weight of one.
Because the estimation signal is determined with reference to two groups of four samples each (e.g., j,y,1,w and j,d,1,b), its sensitivity to noise is reduced with respect to a two sample estimate. Conversely, it is more sensitive to the occurrence of diagonal images, and, therefore, it produces more desirable responses along reproduced diagonal lines.
The operation of the control signal generating circuit 26 will now be explained in conjunction with FIG. 3. A first set of pixels y, 1 and d representative of the signals Bb, Mb and Tb respectively appear at the input terminals 60, 62 and 64 of the circuit 26. The terminals 60, 62 and 64 are coupled to the respective connections in FIG. 1. A second set of pixels w, j and b representative of 2-pixel delayed versions of the respective signals Bb, Mb and Tb appear at the outputs of the second 1-pixel delay elements 72, 76 and 80. Subtracters 82, 84, 86 and 88 calculate the respective cross differences CD1 (j-y), CD2 (1-w), CD3 (j-d) and CD4 (1-b). The four cross differences CD1, CD2, CD3 and CD4 are applied to the circuit elements 92, 94, 96 and 98 to determine their respective absolute values.
The circuit elements 102 and 104 coupled to receive the respective pairs of absolute values |j-y|, |1-w| and |j-d|, |1-b| determine the two maximum values MAX1 and MAX2 as follows:
MAX1 =MAX�(|j-y|,|1-w|) (11)
MAX2 =MAX�(|j-d|,|1-b|) (12)
An adder 106 adds the two maximum values MAX1 and MAX2 to form the denominator of the quotient Kq. The value MAX1 (which defines the numerator of the quotient Kq) and the sum MAX1 +MAX2 are passed through respective lowpass filters 106 and 108 to eliminate high frequency variations. The transfer function TF for the two lowpass filters 106 and 108 is identical and is given by the following EQUATION:
where Z-1, Z-2 and Z-3 represent one, two and three pixel delays and Z is the conventional Z-transform variable.
The outputs of the two lowpass filters 106 and 108 are applied to a divider 110, which develops the quotient Kq. This quotient Kq is then quantized into 33 different levels (32 steps) and made available as the control signal K at an output terminal 112 for application to the soft switch 30.
FIG. 6 is a schematic block diagram representation of the mixing circuit 30. The output Tb -Bb of a subtracter 120 is multiplied by the factor K in a multiplier 122. An adder 124 combines the output K�(Tb -Bb) of the multiplier 122 with the signal Bb to produce the weighted video signal Wb at an output terminal 126, where:
Wb =K�Tb +(1-K)�Bb (14)
The weighted video signal Wb is subtracted from the bandpassed once-delayed video signal Mb, and the resulting signal is divided by a factor of 2 to produce the bandpassed chroma signal Cb as previously described. (See EQUATION 1.)
The disclosed and claimed apparatus is applicable to PAL systems. The difference between the NTSC system and PAL system is that the lines of video to be combined in the PAL system to generate combed signals must be separated an integral multiple of two lines. For a line comb filter, the appropriate video signal lines employed in the PAL system are lines n-2, n and n+2.
In the following claims the term "cross difference" is defined as the difference (e.g., j-y) between diagonally separated samples (e.g., j and y) from different video lines (e.g., line Mb and Bb) separated by an integral number (e.g., 1H) of horizontal lines, and disposed on the opposite sides of the sample of interest (e.g., k). The samples (e.g., j and y) from which the cross difference (e.g., CD1) is developed are disposed on either side (i.e., left and right) of the pixel (e.g., k) for which separated luma and chroma signals Y and C are currently being developed.
While a particular embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described in detail, adaptations and modifications will be apparent to one skilled in the art. Such adaptations and modifications of the invention may be made without departing from the spirit and scope thereof, as set forth in the following claims.

IBEW Holiday Lights in the Park
Outdoor light parades can be a lot of fun, but sometimes the weather gets to be too intense. And while hunting for the best-decorated homes through neighborhoods can be a lot of fun, wasting gas and money this time of year is less than ideal. Fortunately, the IBEW Holiday Lights in the Park is a sure thing for lovers of festive outdoor decor. This season, people are invited to hop in their cars with friends and family (and maybe even a thermos of hot cocoa), and cruise along a trail featuring more than 50 large-scale light displays and moving sculptures. The event, open daily through December, will benefit a handful of local charities, including Second Harvest Heartland, Union Gospel Mission, Saint Paul Parks Conservancy, and UnderConstruction. For more info, visit www.lightsinthepark.org.
Nov. 22-Jan. 1, 5:30-10 p.m., 2011

Julesong I followed the ingredients to the letter (after all this is a recipe competition) and it was great! You suggested in your instructions that some people like their veggies crisp, I do so I sauted the chicken with the mushrooms & onions only, rinsed and drained the beans and added them . added the spices, then 2 minutes before serving I added the peppers & broccoli, I didn't add the sour cream & avacado but just put them on the finished fajita along with the cheese and salsa. Neat idea to take them on a picnic!I I really enjoyed your recipe and wish you luck in our little competition Thanks Julesong
I made this for supper and we thoroughly enjoyed this. I followed your directions exactly. I sauteed the chicken and vegetables about 8 minutes and the vegetables were moderately soft (how we like them). I just discovered broccoli slaw at our grocery and love it. Worked very well in this recipe. My family and I thought this was a wonderful fajita wrap and we will make it often. Thanks.
MMMM! a nather big hit for the kids & me. and all so the bigest kid of all my boyfirend, thanks. Ginny L. Ross
Julesong, I could hardly wait to race to the keyboard to give your supurb creation 5 stars, but at the same time I wanted the taste sensation to go on for ever! It was absolutely scrumptious. I made a couple of slight adaptions. I sauted the chicken separately, and put it aside while I stir-fried the vegetables, then added it along with the black beans etc in step 6. Then, when I was adjusting the final seasoning, I added about 1 1/2 teaspoons dark brown sugar, just to slightly balance the tartness of the lime juice. We loved the broccoli stem - had never used it before and found it delightfully crisp. The whole family enjoyed this meal very much and we will certainly have it again. Thanks for sharing.
Wow Julesong, these fajita wraps were most excellent. We didn't take them on a picnic, just ate them at home. I followed your directions and the only change I made was to increase the chili powder to 1 tablespoon. Very zesty and a wonderful combination of ingredients. I liked the broccoli slaw, too. Thanks so much for a great recipe.
WOW! This was good, I was unsure of all the different ingredients at first, but decided to give it a shot and I'm so happy that I did. All the flavors came together wonderfully, I did not put the avacado and sour cream in because I do not care for them as toppings, but it still turned out great. Thanks for the recipe!
OMG, this was exactly the taste I was looking for. I used left over steak instead of chicken and I couldn't stop eating. Excellent recipe!
This was fantastic! I made a few substitutions that worked well for me. I used a can of corn instead of the chicken (I did marinate it for an hour with the balsamic vinegar and garlic just to give it that kick). Mixed beans instead of black because it was all I had. In addition, I also made a pot of brown rice and then threw it in with the veggies as they were frying up. I cannot eat dairy so I left the sour cream on the side. I also left the avocado out and threw it in with sliced tomatoes when I was wrapping it all up. Everyone loved it and I am certainly going to be copying this recipe down for future use. Thanks!
I made this tonight for dinner. We are always looking for new chicken recipes. This one really fits the bill. The flavors are great and well balanced. It is simple to make which is always a great bonus. We will be making this again.
Outstanding Wrap! We ate them with leftover Wild Rice Pepper salad and it was a good combination. The raisins in the salad mellowed out the zing nicely.

Apple's Mac OS X 10.8.1 update to address Thunderbolt display noise issue, moreApple on Friday evening began providing its developers with the first maintenance update to its Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion operating system released just weeks ago.
People familiar with the matter say the 38.5MB beta release was accompanied with a set of release notes identifying no known issues.
Instead, the Mac maker asked developers to focus their testing efforts around USB, PAC proxies in Safari, Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange support in Mail.
Apple also made a specific request for testers to evaluate WiFi and audio when connected to a Thunderbolt display, suggesting it has attempted to address problems in this area after MacBook Air users said they were experiencing audio issues — static, distortion and crackling — when they connect their notebooks to the company's latest 27-inch LED display.
Apple has historically aimed to push out its first maintenance release for major operating systems milestones in a swift manner, suggesting we could see a formal release of the software in the coming weeks.
Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion made its debut on the Mac App Store on July 25th. It saw a record 3 million downloads in just 4 days, immediately making it Apple's most successful release for the Mac ever.
For its part, Mac OS X 10.8.1 surfaced in the news just hours ago when it was listed as part of a system profile for an unreleased 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display that was apparently used to submit benchmark scores to Geekbench. That prototype MacBook Pro was running build 12A2066 of the forthcoming update while the build released to developers friday carried build number 12B13.

We plan to give $30,000 to a single cartoonist or writer/artist duo in order to support the creation of a new and original work of a length between sixty-four and one hundred pages over the course of a single year.
Founders of the grant include a rnage of Image creators as well as Spike Trotman of Iron Circus Comics, and they will be providing support and advice to go alongside the money.

Sophia Foster-Dimino is an illustrator and cartoonist.
Foster-Dimino's ability to articulate very specific, very familiar, rarely articulated emotional sensations is uncanny here. (...) "Have you noticed that loving someone is like pouring water into a well," asks the frenemy. "You don't pour water into a well you get water out of a well," protests the protagonist, now crying. "Your lover is a deep dark delicious well & you're nothing but a bucket," her tormenter responds without missing a beat. "Not even a cool bucket," she continues, "a lackluster ordinary bucket—that feels so heavy but holds so little." To be blunt, fuuuuuuuck.[more inside]

Let Me Tell You About Homestuck
5 years.
7,000 pages.
13,000 panels.
700,000 words. [Approximately the length of the Bible.]
Over 3 hours of animation.
Over 23 hours of soundtrack.
15 separate games, in 3 unique styles.
PBS once called Homestuck the "Ulysses of the Internet". Its author, Andrew Hussie — who resembles Joyce in his impishness, stylistic maximalism, and fondness for disturbing smut — calls it "a story I've tried to make as much a pure expression of its medium as possible". It has become a cultural phenomenon, inspiring proms and dominating Amazon makeup reviews. But most importantly, it's a rollicking good read, equal parts slapstick and epic, bildungsroman and cultural commentary.
What on earth about it makes its fans so overly zealous? And how the hell does one start the daunting process of reading Homestuck?

Women Who Conquered the Comics World
Robbins knows something about the glass ceiling for women cartoonists because she first hit it herself in the early 1970s, when she tried to join the male-dominated "underground comix" movement based in San Francisco. After the men cartoonists shut her out, Robbins joined forces with other women cartoonists to create their own women's-lib comic books. She went on to become a well-respected mainstream comic artist and writer, as well as a feminist comics critic who's written myriad nonfiction books on the subject of great women cartoonists and the powerful female characters they created. Naturally, Robbins has spent some time hunting down the original cartoons from the women who paved the way for her career, and as luck would have it, she found the very first comic strip ever drawn by a woman, "The Old Subscriber Calls" by Rose O'Neill, practically in her backyard.
The Green Turtle, the first Asian American super hero returns to comics
If you heard the recent NPR's Codeswitch segment on The Green Turtle, the first Asian superhero created in the United States, you heard descriptions of the 1940s comic. But there's more (so much more!) online. Start with the entire run of The Green Turtle on the amazing Digital Comic Museum, which hosts public domain Golden Age comics (late 1930s until the late 1940s or early 1950s). If you want to know more about Chu F. Hing, the artist behind the original Green Turtle, here's an extensively researched biography on the astounding Chinese American Eyes blog, which covers "famous, forgotten, well-known, and obscure visual artists of Chinese descent in the United States."

Lunchbox Doodles
"Q: What is the story behind Lunchbox Doodles and how long have you been doing it? A: It really started as a result of the fond memories I have of opening my lunch at school and reading notes my mother would place inside. While I can't remember specifically what they said, they had an impact on me. They served as a reminder that my parents were thinking of me even when I wasn't with them."

Invasion of the Literaries
We might not get laughed out of the room, but the question is: would we want to be stuck in it with some guy who would ask: Since we already have Aristophanes, who needs Kurtzman? Since we have Erasmus of Rotterdam, why would we want Steve Martin? With Wagner still available, who cares about the Firehouse Five? Furthermore, would we let that guy organize the party music?Eddie Campbell on fallacies of comics criticism.
What appears at first to be taking a more stringent view is in fact applying irrelevant criteria. It dismantles the idea of a comic and leaves the parts hopelessly undone.

Zimmerman Family WellnessRead MoreDr. Matthew Zimmerman has 18 years worth of stories as proof of his devotion to healing entire families. "We had a child referred by a local hospital—4 months old, always leaned his head to the side," the doctor says, his voice sure. "The top bone of his spine (his atlas) shifted during birth, so we gently put it back into place. Right there in front of the mother, the baby raised his head for the first time. We were all bawling." That child is 2 now, his neck fully straight. But the work is never finished. With the motto of "health by choice, not by chance," Dr. Zimmerman tries to create an environment that will make it pleasant for clients to work toward well-being. While waiting for an adjustment, orthotics, or rehabilitative therapy, patrons can test wellness knowledge with looping TV trivia, and kids can nosh on healthy treats such as raisins, nuts, and fiber-packed fitness magazines. "We love to stick the kids' artwork right there on the wall," says the doctor, who is also a certified chiropractic extremities practitioner. "I do extremity adjustments for weekend warriors, athletes, soccer moms, runners—anyone," he says. Dr. Zimmerman can even look at gait analyses from local running stores or analyze a client's best giraffe impression to suss out the source of tension. Low murmurs drift along with exorcized tension from treatment rooms, where massage therapists work. "Our therapist is great," the doctor says. "Someone will come in clearly in stress, and I'll say, 'Make that boy fall asleep,' and she'll put him down like a big bear."21031 Catawba AveCornelius, NC US

Moms tackle SoCal's highest icy peak
Four women slowly, carefully make their way up Mount San Gorgonio, Southern California's tallest mountain at 11,503 feet.
It is Wednesday, April 13. But make no mistake. This is no spring hike. There is no dirt where these women climb. There is only rock, snow and ice. Lots of ice.
Ice axes and steel teeth on crampons attached to the bottom of their boots keep them from plummeting hundreds of feet.
The air is thin enough that the lack of oxygen makes it tough to breath. One climber suffers a bit from altitude sickness.
To make the climb even more difficult, the wind is blasting. And as they ascend, it blows even harder.
Who are these people who call themselves "ladies"?
Stay-at-home moms. One is a grandma.
Higher heights
If their climb seems crazy, pause and consider a few things.
There is something incredibly freeing while testing oneself in the outdoors. Barring life-long injury or death, there is no such thing as failure when you compete against yourself.
For some of us, when one climbs above tree line, the sense of freedom is infinite. You live in the moment. You can see forever. Your soul soars.
Climbing San Gorgonio, especially when snow and ice cover its upper reaches, is like that. The challenge is part of the fun.
Of course, one doesn't run out, rent some equipment and tackle such a challenge. It takes training and fitness.
The women climbing San Gorgonio are rock hard. They are members of the awesomely cool women's mountain biking club, the Trail Angels.
One, Chris Taylor, last month finished one of the nation's toughest mountain bike races, the Warriors Society's Vision Quest. With brutally difficult cut off times, the course covers more than 55 miles and 11,000 feet of gain.
Still, there is that caveat.
Barring injury or...
Starting out
The plan was to climb Gorgonio in two days. The first day, they would have a leisurely start, hike and climb to about 9,500 feet. The second day, they would get up insanely early – it's called an "alpine start" – and hit the hard stuff.
There is reason for starting before the sun's rays hit the mountain. As dangerous as ice and snow can be, warming, melting and moving snow and ice can be even more dangerous.
Taylor, 50, of Aliso Viejo; Regina Froemmling, 48, of Laguna Hills; Heather Krauss, 53, formerly of Foothill Ranch; and Debi Nicholls, 56 – grandmother of five and formerly of Rancho Santa Margarita – hit the trailhead at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, April 12.
Carrying 32-pound packs stuffed with supplies, overnight gear and climbing equipment, they make their way through oaks and juniper, pinyon and ponderosa pines.
They luck out with the terrain. Rather than having to slowly post-hole their way through knee- and thigh-deep snow, the snow is hard and crusty.
The white covering also means there often is no sign of a trail. They find the route with a GPS and experience.
After several hours, they arrive at Dry Lake on the north side of San Gorgonio. The lake is covered in snow. Pines circle the area. The peaks of Mount Jepson and Mount Charlton rise in the distance. It is beautiful.
The only humans in the area – they continue on. After covering six miles and 2,700 feet of gain they break camp in the snow.
Dinner is freeze-dried food made mushy with boiling water. As the sun sets, they hit the sack. There is a slight breeze.
As climbers say, the morning will be "interesting."
Wind power
It's 4 a.m., and the women are awake and moving in seconds. By now the breeze from the night before has morphed into a solid wind. Tops of trees whip. Tents shudder.
It's bitter cold and crowded in the tents. But who cares? Adventure is ahead.
Shrouded in darkness and wind, the lights from their headlamps dance across the snow and catches blasts of icy spindrift.
Krauss, with a teen in high school, is the most experienced climber. She reminds the others about crampon technique and how to self rescue with an ice ax if someone falls.
With every few hundred feet that they ascend, the wind gathers in force.
The increasing strength of the wind is somewhat expected. Still, it's not easy to fathom.
I climbed Gorgonio's north face a few years ago in January. By the time I made the summit, the wind was gale-force. Armed with crampons, ice axe and a trekking pole, I staggered to a man-made wall of rocks before I could set up my bomb-proof tent.
Was I scared? Of course. But in a good way.
The women continue climbing. They huddle over their ice axes, crampons digging into the mountain's hard shell.
After two hours, they've climbed 2,000 feet up, much of it on a 35-degree grade. The wind is screaming at more than 40 miles an hour.
Some of the women are relatively new to climbing.
Smart call
They look up. The summit is less than 400 vertical feet above.
But under their crampons, the ice is thick, solid and slippery as a greased eel.
With the wind screaming in their ears, they shout to one another. Up or down?
There is a saying in climbing, "The mountain will always be there."
Smart climbers know that no one conquers a mountain. Rather, it is the mountain – and its weather – that allows one to climb or not to climb.
On this day in this place, Gorgonio is prepared to shake off mere mortals.
The team turns around.
Four hours later, the women are back at the parking lot hugging one another. By anyone's account, it was a great climb.
But with these Trail Angels, there's always another mountain. Already, they plan to test themselves on Mount Whitney's Mountaineer Route.
And, once again, their souls will soar.
