A man suspected of fatally shooting three New Brunswick Mounties and wounding two others in Moncton appeared today in provincial court.
Justin Bourque is facing three charges of first-degree murder and two charges of attempted murder.
Bourque was arrested early today inside a police perimeter in the city after one of the worst mass shootings in the RCMP's history.
He appeared in court, packed with about 70 people, under heavy guard.
A tactical officer with an automatic rifle stood at the back of the courtroom.
The RCMP say the 24-year-old Moncton man was unarmed at the time of his arrest and taken into custody without incident.
A nerve-racking manhunt came to an end at around 12:10 a.m., ending a harrowing search that lasted nearly 30 hours.
A large swath of northwestern Moncton had been locked down after the officers were shot Wednesday evening, with residents asked to remain inside their homes with their doors locked.
Supt. Marlene Snowman says while Bourque was unarmed when he was arrested, police found weapons near the wooded residential area where he was taken into custody.

Party Leader(s)?
I have found that in most cases, regardless of which character in a group is the most likely leader, the job falls to the player who is best suited to the task. Normally by default, sometimes by design, and every now and again against the grain.
In some groups there can be several players who have the ability and desire to lead the group, while at other times you can find yourself with a group where no one is able or wishes to step up to lead.
What's the ideal situation? What's the worst situation for you as a DM or Player? What tends to be the usual situation for good or ill?Check out 30 Things Can Happen! A System-Free Sourcebook for Fantasy RPGs.

Controversy may sell magazines, but it can also cause all sorts of editorial and letter-writing ruckus. In "Where's the Real Magazine," John Atkinson follows the heated trail that began when he decided to put a PC soundcard on the cover of Stereophile back in September, followed by a Denon surround receiver (horrors!) that graced the December issue. Included as a bonus is the hot-off-the-presses March 2001 "As We See It" in response.
Getting back to the safer ground of high-end audio, we include Lonnie Brownell's recent review of the Monitor Audio Silver 9i loudspeaker from December 2000. As Brownell writes, "The Silver Series is their next-to-the-top line. And at $1999/pair, it seems within reach. Even though I have a bit more scratch now than I had 20 years ago, I'm still a tightwad—in Y2K, any component must answer the question "Why $2k?" before I'll call it a deal." LB's answer to the $2,000 question awaits.

Recommended prerequisite: Illustrator CS4 One-on-One: Fundamentals.
Download Deke's customized keyboard layouts and color settings for Illustrator from the Exercise Files tab.
- Working with compound shapes in the Pathfinder palette
- Ghosting shapes with Fill Opacity
- Understanding gradients and the gradient tools
- Cloning and coloring a blended path
- Saving tile patterns and applying them to a shape
- Importing and linking images from other applications
Skill Level Intermediate
In this exercise I'm going to show you how to assign colors to a gradient mesh using the Eyedropper tool, and this is one of the best uses for the Eyedropper tool in all of Illustrator. I've gone ahead and saved my progress so far as A real mesh.ai. Notice these icons up here, by the way, you can see that my mesh is currently selected, but you can switch back and forth between the Clipping Path that contains the mesh which is the rectangle and the mesh itself using these two icons up here in the Control palette. So click on Edit Clipping Path to select the rectangle, and then to select the contents, which would be the mesh in our case, click on Edit Contents, and you'll gain access to the mesh. So another way to select the mesh here inside of Illustrator.
All right, I'm going to edit another row now. So I'm going to grab my Lasso tool once again and I'm going to go ahead and select this row right there like so, and now I have these points active. So how do I go about changing the color of those points using the Eyedropper? Well, there are a lot of different options available to you. For one thing, you can click on an object, just to go ahead and lift its color. For example, I could click on this frame to change all those points to brown. Of course, I don't want to do that, but I could. Now what if you want to lift the color that's already assigned inside of the Gradient Mesh? Well, you might figure that you can go ahead and click on a point or click on some other color inside of the Gradient Mesh, but you can't. Because when you click on the Gradient Mesh, Illustrator isn't just seeing one color. It's seeing a ton of colors all over the place.
So instead what you want to do is you want to press the Shift key and what the Shift key does is it isolates just that color that the Eyedropper is seeing at any given location, go ahead and Shift- click in order to assign that color to the selected points. That works not only within the gradient mesh itself, so you can lift colors from one portion of the gradient mesh and put them in a different portion of the gradient mesh, which is great. You can rob Peter to pay Paul. That's awesome. But you could also lift colors from let's say a gradient, not by clicking once again, but by Shift-clicking in order to for example, lift this color in the creature's skull here and apply it to the selected points.
Now things get a little dicer here inside of Illustrator CS4, because it's been some strange behavioral change, when you are trying to lift colors from the original background template. So I'm going to go ahead and twirl open that template for a moment and here is what we'll try. I'm going to Ctrl-click or Command-click on the eyeball from the backdrop in order to switch it to the Outline Mode so that we can see through it. What I'd like to do is, let's say, lift this red right here. But if I click on the red, notice that I just lifted sort of a pale green color and then if I Ctrl-click or Command-click on that eyeball again, sure enough I just went in and applied pale green to this row, and that's certainly not what I want.
So what in the world went wrong? Well, let's Ctrl-click or Command-click on that eyeball again. What's happening here, and incidentally I'll tell you. If you Shift-click, it doesn't get any better. So Shift- clicking, we are still getting the pale green. You can see it up here in the Color Guide palette. You can see it over here at the bottom of the toolbox as well. What Illustrator is doing is it seeing this path in the background. So it's seeing through the group to the path, so you could unlock the Paint layer, and you can turn that path off so that it's not interfering with things. Then you don't even have to Shift-click. You can just click inside of the art, and now I've gone ahead and lifted that color of red that I just clicked on there, and to confirm I'll Ctrl-click or Command- click on the eyeball and for the backdrop and you could see that I added that red color.
So that's one way to work. I'm going to Ctrl-click or Command-click again so I can see through the artwork. Here is another way to work, and it doesn't make any sense, and my apologies upfront for potentially confusing you, but I want you to know all of your options. If you want to make sure that you're still seeing this path, so you don't have to sacrifice a portion of your artwork in order to work inside of it, go ahead and turn on the eyeball for that path again, so it's visible. Then twirl open this group right here, and twirl open that group. These are the groups that contain the actual linked file, which is the imported pixel based artwork, since this was a digital photograph at one point in time. I'm going to go ahead and grab that linked file and I'm going to drag it all the way out of the group, like so.
Now the group just contains this Clipping Path. Let's go ahead and twirl the Group in the Trash. And now what you'd do is you can't click because clicking doesn't make any change at this point. Why? I have no idea. Because it just worked a moment ago when the image was inside the Clipping Path, but now it doesn't. So instead what you do is you Shift- click and you know it works, because you can keep an eye on the color that's populating the bottom of the toolbox right there. So Shift-click in order to lift a color from the painting, if you're going to work this way, if you're going to take the painting out of it's Clipping Path. Then Ctrl-click or Command-click on the eyeball once again, and you'll see that sure enough I replaced those selected colors with yellow.
Now that's not all. There is one more thing you can do. Notice that we have points, of course, that we've been modifying. We've been modifying the selected points. Well, you can also modify this interior region, which Adobe's documentation calls the Patch. A little word of warning about Adobe's documentation, which you can get by going to the Help menu and you can choose Illustrator Help and you can see the documentation. It happens to be really inaccurate were gradients are concerned. Gradient and Gradient Meshes and it doesn't really document a lot of new things.
So I'm going to tell you how it really works. They tell you something that just doesn't work frankly, and I always think it's helpful to know really what's going on. So this is other technique you can take advantage of where the Eyedropper is concerned. Notice if you press and hold the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac, the Eyedropper flips, so it's pointing the other direction and it's full instead of empty. So it switches from an Eyedropper that lifts things, when you press the Alt or Option key, to a kind of syringe that's putting color into things. So the easiest way to plop a color into a patch, which is this region right here, here is what you do. Go ahead and deselect everything by pressing Ctrl+Shift+A, Command+Shift+A on the Mac, then go to one of your palettes and select a color that you want to work with. Let's go with violet once again, since we can really see it inside of this artwork.
Then you want to go ahead and show your artwork once again. So you need to make a color active. That's a big step here and that becomes a color that the Eyedropper is going to infuse, that the syringe is going to pump out. But you have to have the artwork deselected before you select the color, because otherwise you're going to modify some portion of the artwork. So having done that, now let's go ahead and twirl open backdrop, and I'm going to twirl open group, and I'm going to meatball the mesh. The easiest way to do that. Now I'm going to go ahead and press the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac.
Now Adobe's documentation will tell you that you can click in the center of this patch, you can't really. What you can do is you can either click on a point, if you want to, if you just want to infuse that point with color. Or you can Alt-click or Option-click on one of the lines, like so and that will infuse that entire line there with color, line between the two anchor points. You could Alt-click or Option-click here and then you could Alt-click or Option-click there. So it doesn't matter what the angle of the line is. You can just go ahead and associate color with it. So just remember, if you want to lift the color, click with the Eyedropper and that will change the color of the selected point. If clicking doesn't work, if it doesn't produce any results, then try Shift-clicking instead. And then if you want to use the Eyedropper as a syringe and pump color into something, and this works whether you're working with a Gradient Mesh or not. It just happens to be more useful with Gradient Mesh. Then you press the Alt or Option key and click with the Eyedropper tool.

Support Community & the Arts in Plumas County!
Saturday, October 15, 2016
Plumas-Sierra County Fairgrounds
from 1 - 5pm
It's about the BEER (& Wine)…
1 - 5pm...Micro-Beer & Organic Wine Tasting*
Mountain Harvest revolves around one of the most impressive small town microbrew tastings you will find anywhere. Brewers and brewery owners love to come to this event to proudly share the fruits of their labors and to "talk beer" with an interested, appreciative crowd. We will have more than 20 craft brewers represented with more than 50 brews to sample.
2015 List of Breweries
*The Wine Tasting is sponsored by Quincy Natural Foods
these are the 2015 bands, stay tuned for what 2016 will bring!
Last Man Standing is a
group of gray and grizzled music lovers that carry on when more
sensible people have walked away. Like the stone pillars of the
desert, these old boys have weathered a few sand storms only to
emerge more rounded and smooth. The music we make is a mix of
equine-flavored originals from the pen of Joe Tomaselli (cowboy hat),
wise, whimsical, and wonky tunes from Alex Muddy Smith (the good
looking one in the jaunty cap and expensive guitar), and a mix of
tunes from the great Americana songbook with support from Ken Cawley
(ball cap, usually sitting down), and Barney Harchis (usually
standing/leaning on the dog-house bass). Watch for us at a
free-beer event in your home town.
With vocal harmonies, upright bass, percussion, guitar, mandolin, and fiddle, acoustic band, Bagby Station brings a wide variety of sounds with originals and covers of Americana Fashion. Denise Ludington, Tom Couse, Greg Torres, and Mike Wichmann, with different musical influences and backgrounds, have banded together with a common love for playing and sharing music. From rural Mariposa County, like their namesake train stop in the underwater ghost town of Bagby, this group recognizes the importance of music as a way to bring folks together. Because life, like a train stop – all the comings and goings, arrivals and departures – also has the gathering moments to stop and enjoy good tunes and good times together.
Mostly, it's about building CULTURE & COMMUNITY…
This Mountain Harvest festival is one of the major fund-raising efforts that helps to keep Plumas Arts bringing you the countless events, services and programs all year long that helps make our lovely little county the very happening cultural Mecca that it has become. Come have a great time and support an organization that make our local way of life worth bragging about!

Warren Shocked With Bellew's Position on BoxNation
By Edward Chaykovsky
Promoter Frank Warren was shocked to read Tony Bellew's position regarding his furture fights being presented on BoxNation. In an article which appeared earlier today on BoxingScene.com, Bellew told Terry Dooley that he wants gain further exposure by fighting on a network like Sky Sports, because he believes BoxNation won't give him enough exposure to further his career.
Warren, who holds a financial stake in BoxNation, says the channel is growing in popularity and they plan to continue their efforts in securing the biggest fights possible for the British fight fans.
Warren revealed that Nathan Cleverly will likely defend his WBO light heavyweight title in the first week on July. If the WBO doesn't order a mandatory, then Warren will explore a possible rematch between Cleverly and Bellew. Warren has spoken to Cleverly about the rematch and plans to sit down with Bellew in the coming weeks to go over his career options.
Well Cleverly said Bellew had to work his way up and Bellew has said what he feels. Whether Frank promotes Bellew or not, Bellew has a choice on who he fights and what channel. Frank will push it and say…Comment by Fish_Scotland on 05-03-2012

small/Medium sets have had these large molds that eventually have no use. After many bulks of Bionicle bricks. I ended having to dispose these Toa torsos and also most of my bohrok torsos (I left like 1% of them "just in case" but I never used them either). Similar torsos for the metru. Some Vahqi. It is a disease. A large brick that is only good for a specific use, and is over decorated, including that gear-like thing that seems to have no purpose at all. These things use so many storage space and, to be honest, I have never seen a MoC that would tell me it is useful at all to keep these bricks.
It is a pervasive issue that infected Bionicle since the beginning. That most of the body from a HF set comes from actual assembled parts rather than this sort of mold is such a great improvement.

The present invention is in the field of portable computers, namely laptop, notebook, or similar portable computers with flat panel displays with or without SIMULSCAN™ capability. In particular, the present invention relates to displaying high resolution graphics data on fixed resolution LCD panel displays.
The present invention is related to application Docket Number CRUS-0059 entitled "Method and Apparatus for Expanding Graphics Images for Display on LCD Panels" incorporated herein by reference.
A primary element of a portable computer system is a display. Since Cathode. Ray Tube (CRT) displays are relatively large and heavy, with high power requirements, other alternatives have actively been sought. Flat panel display technology represents a significant alternative to CRT display technology. Flat panel displays may have several advantages over CRT displays. Flat panel displays include a number of different display types, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) being most commonly used. LCD displays may have advantages of being compact and relatively flat, consuming little power, and in many cases displaying color. Typical disadvantages of LCD displays may be poor contrast in bright light—especially bright natural light, inconsistent performance in cold temperatures, and display resolutions which may be constrained by a fixed number of row elements and column elements. Among these limitations, fixed resolution may cause significant problems for LCD operation in a multimedia environment. Multimedia users may demand a monitor which can be configured for different display resolutions. Analog CRT displays may be easily configured for different resolutions.
Flat panel displays may typically comprise two glass plates pressed together with active elements sandwiched between. High resolution flat panel displays use matrix addressing to activate pixels. Conductive strips for rows may be embedded on one side of a panel and similar strips for columns are located on the other side. Panels may be activated on a row by row basis in sequence. This process may be described in more detail in a text entitled: "High Resolution Graphics Display Systems", Peddie 1994 (pp. 191-225), incorporated herein by reference, however the general nature of LCD addressing is known in the art.
LCD flat panel display resolution may be dictated by physical construction of an LCD. CRT displays have a continuous phosphor coating and may be illuminated by an analog signal driving an electron beam. Because of the analog nature of CRT, scaling display resolution is relatively simple. LCD displays have a fixed array of physical pixels which may be turned on or off by applying or removing a charge. While resolution of a CRT may be changed by changing scanning frequency parameters, LCDs are limited by a fixed number of row and column elements. Fixed resolution LCD displays are particularly troublesome in multimedia systems. Such systems may require changes in display resolution to take full advantage of applications displaying high resolution graphics. In addition, for a manufacturer of display controllers to claim full VGA, SVGA, and XGA compatibility limitations of fixed panel resolution must be overcome.

Like an analog CRT, an LCD panel may be controlled by a horizontal and vertical scanning signal. Data may be displayed in its respective screen position during an interval in time corresponding to when vertical and horizontal scan signals for a particular location coincide. Horizontal and vertical scan signals are set at a frequency proportional to display resolution. Table 1 contains vertical scanning frequencies for popular graphics display modes. Typical vertical scanning frequencies may be 25 MHz for 640 pixels by 480 pixels display, 40 MHz for 800 pixels by 600 pixels, and 65 MHz for 1024 pixels by 768 pixels. New panels comprising 1280 pixels by 960 pixels may: have an even higher vertical scanning frequency. A high resolution display therefore may have a higher scanning frequency than a relatively lower resolution display.
Using the general principal stating high frequency is proportional to high resolution, some downscaling may be achieved by attempting to replicate lower scanning frequencies of low resolution display while maintaining native scanning resolution. On a fixed resolution display of 600 pixels by 800 pixels for example, a 640 pixel by 480 pixel resolution output may be scaled by lowering the frequency at which data is clocked to the display. This type of approach to expansion related problems may be considered synchronous. Synchronous approaches may have disadvantages for expanding certain resolutions.
Because of the relationship between scan frequencies for certain resolutions that need to be expanded, synchronous approaches to expansion may not be desirable. Visual anomalies such as flicker, and related line dropping may cause noticeable and annoying visual artifacts. Also, horizontal flicker may be noticed and is even more annoying as portions of the display shift from side to side. This is due to the inability of the expansion scheme to account for every line generated at one resolution to a corresponding line on a second resolution. Resolutions which divide evenly into each other may be best suited for synchronous approaches.
Asynchronous approaches may be necessary when the ratio of CRT display lines and LCD display lines, based on different desired display resolution and fixed resolution display capability, is non-integral and when it is generally considered desirable to decouple the time base upon which display data is generated from the time base upon which output display resolution is generated. Consider an example when 3 LCD display lines must be displayed for every 2 CRT lines.
Prior art methods use relatively expensive dual path approaches which may replicate hardware for each display sought to be driven. In addition to hardware costs, bandwidth requirements may be approximately doubled and available bandwidth cut by approximately half for a dual path approach. Other disadvantages of a dual path approach may be non-transparency of software. With a dual path approach, display related software may require separate modification to standard register contents, standard addresses or the like in order to operate at each resolution.
For transforming graphics resolutions, fewer problems are inherent in downscaling, when desired display resolution is larger than the panel. Upscaling however may present special problems. When attempting to display lower resolution graphics on a higher resolution, fixed resolution panel display a variety of compensation methods may be used. Compensation features may be made available through use of shadow registers and extension registers. Both compensation method and desired parameters, such as output resolution may be set through use of registers.
Some systems employ a compensation technique known as centering. With centering, a smaller resolution graphic image may be placed within a larger resolution display in the center of the display. One problem associated with centering a 640 pixel by 480 pixel display at full color within, for example, a 1024 pixel by 768 pixel display is limited bandwidth. On a display which supports 640 pixels by 480 pixels in native mode (e.g at native 640 pixel by 480 pixel timing of 25 Mhz), there may be sufficient bandwidth to support 24 or 32 bits per pixel of color. As frequency increases such as on a fixed panel 1024 pixel by 768 pixel display which does not support the native timing for 640 pixels by 480 pixels resolution, bandwidth requirements increase in proportion to increase in frequency between resolutions. Most 32 or 64 bit controller may only support 24 or 32 bit full color at a native resolution of 640 pixels by 480 pixels. Another problem with centering and prior art expansion techniques is the scope of programming required to support it. Many shadow registers must be programmed, and protection mechanisms must be in place to configure and then preserve the expanded display settings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a prior art technique of centering. During centering, Graphics Window 200 with a resolution of 640 pixels by 480 pixels may be displayed on Fixed Resolution Panel 201 which is capable of displaying at a fixed resolution of 1024 pixels by 768 pixels. Graphics Window 200 may be generated by a software application such as a computer game with high resolution graphics. For consistency and compatibility purposes, such a computer game may generate a display with a resolution of 640 pixels by 480 pixels regardless of the resolution capability of the display.
Differences in size must be accommodated to physically center a smaller display within a larger resolution panel. Additionally, differences in normal VGA timing which may be around 25 MHz, and native timing of an LCD panel which, for a 1024 pixel by 768 pixel display, may be around 65 MHz must be accommodated. In other words, during centering, a panel must actively accommodate the difference between lower resolution graphics mode and higher resolution panel by generating blank pixels. The resulting display is often too small to be viewed acceptably. For a 1024 by 768 pixel panel there may be 9 or 10 inches of display surface of which one third may go unused during centering. Not only does this waste panel capability, but refresh rates are poor because of timing translation and often the displayed information is too small to read either in Windows™ or in DOS text mode. From an economic standpoint, a user pays a premium for the increased resolution of the panel display only to receive inferior performance.
Another compensation technique for vertical scaling is known as line replication. In line replication or stretching, every Nth line may be duplicated on a subsequent line. In text mode, blank line insertion may be used to evenly fill an entire panel.
Yet another problem arises when attempting to drive two display devices with different display resolutions either through a SIMULSCAN™ output or an auxiliary output. For example, if Microsoft™ Windows™ is running, a dual display mode may be activated by way of an icon as is done for SIMULSCAN™ displays. Requests may then be passed by Windows™ Graphic Driver Interface (GDI) to an appropriate display driver and hardware. Only one graphics resolution, however, may be selected for one or both displays at one time. In other words, separate display resolutions may not be desirable for each display in a particular SIMULSCAN™ environment. Thus, on a notebook system with an 800 pixel by 600 pixel LCD display, if a 640 pixel by 480 pixel resolution is chosen, for example, to drive an external LCD projection panel as a SIMULSCAN™ output, then the LCD output must either be "centered" as described earlier or otherwise accommodated.
Typically, fixed resolution panels present the most difficulties in graphics scaling since other elements may more often be flexible. Every resolution capable of being generated by a system must be capable of being displayed on a fixed panel for true compatibility. Some CRT based projection systems, however, may be inflexible as to timing and resolution parameters and thus must be used in their native resolutions only. This native resolution may present special difficulties as it may use non-standard timing or resolution.
A typical native resolution for projection CRT displays is 640 pixels by 480 pixels. Use of fixed resolution projection systems leads to problems with fixed resolution panels in cases where projection system resolution does not match panel resolution. In such a case, shutting off LCD panel display may be an undesirable alternative. Another undesirable alternative may be the dual path method previously described which allows independent display of any two resolutions.
When such multimedia display equipment is used with conventional portable computers, because of fixed resolution related problems, a single display resolution only may be displayed on both displays (internal or projected) at the same time. In many instances, it may be desirable to project presentation material on an external monitor while displaying other information (e.g., speaker's notes) on an internal display. It may also be desirable to switch between internal and external displays, such that a speaker may preview an image prior to projection display. Furthermore, a need for two video displays containing different images may arise in other situations where computers are used, such as CAD systems, spreadsheets, and word processors. In particular, use of Windows™ may make it desirable to allow a user to open one window (or application) on a first video display (e.g., laptop flat panel display) and open another application on another display (e.g., external monitor). Thus, for example, a user may be able to display a scheduler (daily organizer) program on one display while operating a word processing program on another.
Popular prior art approaches to providing multiple displays with different images driven by one computer such as in the dual path method previously described have disadvantages beyond mere hardware cost. In lap-top or notebook computers, dual path methods may increase power drain, weight and size in addition to cost. Minimizing power, cost, size, and weight is especially critical in highly competitive notebook computer markets.
Other methods to drive two displays involves two display signals sharing refresh rates. To faithfully provide two distinct display resolutions, it may be desirable to generate two separate signals for two video displays having different resolutions, pixel depths, and/or refresh rates. For example, it may be desirable to generate two displays in different graphics modes, or one display in a graphics mode and another in text mode. Moreover, two different displays (e.g., flat panel display and CRT) may use refresh rates different from one another. Alternately, one display may provide improved performance operating at a particular refresh rate unavailable for the other display. In the context of upscaling an image to a fixed resolution display however, traditional methods such as interpolation may not be available or may be inefficient.
Interpolation is a well-known prior art technique used for upscaling video images. In an interpolation scheme, several adjacent pixels in a source video image are typically used to generate additional new pixels. During vertical interpolation of source image data, throughput performance problems may be encountered in a scan-line-dominant-order-of-storing scheme because vertical interpolation usually requires pixels from different scan lines. Accessing different scan lines may require retrieving data from different pages of display memory forcing a non-aligned or non-page mode read access. A non-page mode read access may require more clock cycles than a page mode access for memory locations within a pre-charged row. Thus average memory access time during vertical interpolation may be much higher than consecutive memory accesses within the same row. High average memory access time during vertical interpolation may result in a decrease in the overall throughput performance of a graphics controller chip.
To minimize number of accesses across different rows, a graphics controller chip may retrieve and store a previous scan line in a local memory element. For example, with respect to FIG. 2, a graphics controller chip may retrieve and store all pixels corresponding to scan line A-B and store retrieved pixels in a local memory located in a graphics controller chip. The graphics controller chip may then retrieve pixels corresponding to scan line C-D, and interpolate using pixels stored in local memory.
In a computer system with at least one fixed resolution panel display and a fixed resolution CRT display such as a projection display, a display controller may be used for outputting at least one asynchronous display resolution to a fixed resolution panel display. Display data may be received by the controller in one resolution, for example 640 pixels by 480 pixels. The display data may be output to a CRT display and a time base converter for asynchronously converting display data to a resolution which matches a fixed higher resolution panel which may be at a fixed resolution of 600 pixels by 800 pixels, 1024 pixels by 768 pixels or the like.
A time base converter for comparing different timing signals and controlling asynchronous output of display lines according to a predetermined relationship may receive timing input from vertical clock VCLK, dot clock DCLK, CRT horizontal refresh CRT HDSIP, and LCD horizontal refresh LCD HDISP signals. A Horizontal Discrete Time Oscillator may receive input from HSIZE CRT size of CRT horizontal line, HTOTAL LCD total horizontal lines for LCD, and may output a Horizontal Phase signal to a Polyphase Interpolator which may control interpolation of pixels received from a line buffer, from a first and second D-type flip-flop, and directly from a time base converter. A line buffer as described may also function as a vertical line filter. In addition, a signal representing LCD HDISP may be output from a Horizontal Discrete Time Oscillator and input to a time base converter such as described above. A Vertical Discrete Time Oscillator may receive inputs from N and D signals representing Numerator and Denominator respectively. Also, a Vertical Phase signal may be output to a Polyphase Interpolator such as described above. An End of Scan (EOS) signal may be input to a time base converter such as described above to control the end of a vertical scanning sequence. Output from a Polyphase Interpolator may be input to an LCD panel interface which may be used to drive an LCD panel.
A line buffer such as described may receive and store a scan line of display data and two flip-flop elements may be used to delay input of display data to a polyphase interpolator by one clock cycle for the flip-flop elements and one scan line cycle for the line buffer respectively. Thus, four adjacent pixels may be input simultaneously into a polyphase interpolator for upscaling in the following manner. Display data generated within core VGA logic may be output a time base converter. A time base converter outputs display data to a CRT display, a line buffer, an input terminal of a polyphase interpolator, and a flip-flop element. Flip-flop element output may be input to another input terminal of a polyphase interpolator, line buffer output may be input to yet another input terminal of a polyphase interpolator and another flip-flop element. Finally flip-flop output associated with line buffer output may be input to a fourth input terminal of a polyphase interpolator. Thus, four inputs with associated delays, create four pixels horizontally and vertically adjacent being input to a polyphase interpolator which may then upscale graphics data to desired output display resolution. Interpolation may be accomplished using a Discrete Cosine Transform upon input pixels. Interpolation may be used to upscale lower resolution display data to a fixed resolution panel of higher resolution.

The descriptions herein are by way of example only illustrating the preferred embodiment of the present invention. However, the method and apparatus of the present invention may be applied in a similar manner in other embodiments without departing from the spirit of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating adjacent source pixels and pixels generated through interpolation. FIG. 2 shows pixels (A, B, C, and D) of the original source video image and pixels (E-P) which are generated by interpolation resulting in upscaling the original source video image. Pixel E may be generated, for example, by formula (2/3 A+1/3 B). If each pixel is represented in RGB format, RGB components of pixel E may be generated by using corresponding components of pixels A, B. Pixel K may similarly be generated using the formula (1/3 A+2/3 C). Generation of pixels such as E, F may be termed horizontal interpolation as pixels E, F are generated using pixels A, B located horizontally. Generation of pixels such as G, K may be termed vertical interpolation.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating components associated with the asynchronous expansion circuit of the present invention. Expansion parameters used in the asynchronous expansion circuit of the present invention may be calculated as follows. Given the following parameters, HSIZE LCD—horizontal size of an LCD panel in pixels, HSIZE CRT—horizontal size of a CRT in pixels, VSIZE LCD—vertical size of the LCD in pixels, VSIZE CRT—vertical size of the CRT in pixels, HTOTAL CRT—horizontal total pixels for the CRT, VTOTAL CRT—vertical total pixels for the CRT, and FV=1/TV vertical frame rate or frequency, calculate frame clock rate FVCLK and TVCLK, vertical upscaling ratio, HTOTAL LCD and FDCLK and TDCLK, and reference parameters using equations 1-6.
For a given frame rate FV, FVCLK and TVCLK may be calculated as follows:
To achieve proper upscaling, a ratio must be chosen which minimizes the size of the numerator and denominator such that:
Next, HTOTAL LCD may be selected based on horizontal retrace requirements, and TDCLK may be selected and minimized using the following relationship:
Calculate other timing parameters for reference purposes using the relationships:
To determine Vertical DTO 316 and Horizontal DTO 315 parameters, the following equation may be used:
PARAM may represent the P input to, for example, Horizontal DTO 315. MODULO may represent the MOD Q input to Horizontal DTO 315. When PARAM value reaches MODULO value, an output is generated which, in the case of Horizontal DTO 315 represents when sufficient HSIZE CRT 322 input has been received to fill the CRT, or a count equal to HTOTAL CRT 323 has been reached.
VGA core 300 represents a standard VGA controller known in the art for generating display data. VGA Core 300 may generate and output display data lines at a pixel frequency which corresponds to the display resolution for, in the preferred embodiment, a CRT projection panel. Lines 312 generated in RGB format at 24 bits per pixel in the preferred embodiment are output at a frequency 311 to CRT Driver 327 and Time Base Converter 313. Lines 312 may also be generated at 32 bits per pixel. In the preferred embodiment, VGA Core 300 may generate display information at a frequency corresponding to 640 pixels by 480 pixels. CRT Driver 327 outputs lines to a CRT display 398 such as a projection screen which may employ standard CRT (RGB) display technology known in the art.
Time Base Converter 313 may receive inputs from VGA Core 300, VCLK 311, CRT HDISP 325 which is the horizontal retrace signal for the CRT, DCLK 326 or "Dot Clock" which is the rate at which pixels are output from VGA Core 300, and Carry Out signal 321 and may use equations 1-6 to perform time base conversion between CRT lines and LCD lines in the following manner. Lines may be received at DCLK 326 proportional to CRT 398 resolution. Inside Time Base Converter 313 which also acts as a line store or line buffer, lines received at frequency 311 are compared against the lines required LCD panel display 399 frequency. FIG. 5 illustrates the timing relationship between CRT lines and LCD lines. Since, for LCD panels of a higher resolution than CRT resolution, lines are required by LCD panel display 399 at a faster rate than lines are generated for CRT 398, duplicate lines must be output to LCD panel display 399. FIG. 5 illustrates how lines are asynchronously generated for LCD panel display 399 and CRT 398. Since LCD panel display 399 is of a higher resolution than CRT 398 another line is required before the end of a line timing interval for CRT 398. Line 312 in progress for CRT 398 will be repeated for LCD panel display 399.
Display Data output from Time Base Converter 313 may be input to Vertical Filter/Line Buffer 314, D-type Flip-flop 307 and Polyphase Interpolator 305. Vertical Filter/Line Buffer 314 may receive display data from Time Base Converter 313 and filter display data using, for example, in the preferred embodiment, a Discrete Cosine Transform filter. Display data may be stored in Vertical Filter/Line Buffer 314 under control of Vertical Discrete Time Oscillator (DTO) 316 which may issue signal EOS 320 for signalling the end of a vertical scan. Display data output from Vertical Filter/Line Buffer 314 may be input to Polyphase Interpolator 305 and D-type Flip-flop 306.
Horizontal DTO 315 and Vertical DTO 316 may be used to provide and control horizonal and vertical frequency related parameters such as HSIZE LCD, HSIZE CRT, VSIZE LCD, VSIZE CRT, HTOTAL CRT, and VTOTAL CRT. Horizonal DTO 315 receives HSIZE CRT signal 322 indicating size of a horizontal scan and HTOTAL CRT signal 323 indicating total number of horizontal scans. HPHASE 324 represents Horizontal Phase and may be input to Polyphase Interpolator 305. Carry Out 321 from the comparison of HSIZE CRT 322 and HTOTAL CRT 323 of Horizontal DTO 315 may be input to Time Base Converter 313 and used to control the output of lines from Time Base Converter 313. Vertical DTO 316 receives D signal 317 and N signal 318 representing Denominator value D and Numerator value N in Equation 4. D signal 317 and N signal 318 may be programmed in registers or otherwise supplied by software depending on the relationships desired between parameters in Equation 4. Vertical Phase (VPH) signal 319 representing carry out is output to Polyphase Interpolator 305.
Each D-type Flip-flop 306 and 307 may add an additional cycle of delay in the vertical direction such that Polyphase Interpolator 305 receives pixels X(0,1), X(0,0), X(1,0), X(1,1). These four pixels represent two adjacent pixels in each horizontal and vertical direction. Pixels generated in Polyphase Interpolator 305, are output to Panel Interface 309 which may be used to generate display information on corresponding LCD panel display 399.
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a circuit for generating VCLK 406. VCO PLL 400 generates and maintains frequency stability of DCLK 405. DCLK 405 may be input to VCLK DTO 401 and gate 402. Input P 403 and input Q 404 may also be input to VCLK DTO 401 and are proportional to desired output frequency and input frequency respectively. DCLK 405 and carry out from DTO 401 may be input to gate 402 and may be used to generate VCLK 406.
FIG. 5 is a timing diagram illustrating the timing relationship between lines generated for a CRT projection display and lines generated for a fixed resolution LCD panel. CRT HS signal 501 represents a horizontal scan signal for a CRT and is synchronized with the end of CRT horizontal retrace interval as shown by time 505, 506, and 507. Times 505, 506, and 507 are illustrated as corresponding to CRT line generation. L0 and L1 are arbitrary designators use to compare timing for corresponding lines generated for both CRT display and LCD display. L0 represents line 0 and L1 represents line one; L0 and L1 are reused as reference numbers for subsequent lines. By designating L0 and L1 accordingly, the relationship between L0 generated for the CRT and L0 generated for the LCD may be seen. Data for L0 is replicated for a second LCD line during, for example, time 506. Since the present invention discloses an asynchronous relationship between CRT and LCD displays, any number of lines displayed for the LCD during the time interval between time 505 and 506 would be replicated as LO.
CRT HDISP signal 502 is shown as active during the time when a horizontal line is being displayed and not active during the retrace interval when returning to begin the next line scan. LCD HS 503 represents a horizontal scan signal for an LCD panel and coincides with the end of the retrace interval of LCD HDISP signal 504. LCD HDISP signal 504 is shown as active during the time when a horizontal line is being displayed and not active during the retrace interval when returning to begin the next scan. As shown in FIG. 5, three LCD lines may be displayed during an interval corresponding to display of two CRT lines. A scaling factor of 1.5 would result from a requirement to display 3 LCD lines for every 2 CRT lines. Any number of LCD lines may be generated asynchronously as a function of CRT lines based on a ratio of CRT resolution and LCD panel fixed resolution in accordance with Equation (3). As display data for L0 is being output as a CRT line, L0 is being output as an LCD line. L0 for the LCD is finished and a retrace interval begins before L0 for the CRT is complete. Since L0 for the CRT is still being output, then next line for the LCD begins to write L0 again. Since display data for CRT lines and LCD lines are derived from a common data stream output from VGA Core 300, only timing differences affect number of lines output to the LCD for each CRT line. Thus, within practical limitations, any number of LCD lines may be output asynchronously using display data originally generated as CRT output.
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of a Discrete Time Oscillator of the present invention. In order to implement Horizontal and Vertical DTO block of the present invention, a circuit of the kind illustrated in FIG. 6 may be used to perform a PLL function as well as a divide function. As background to FIG. 6, equation (8) describes the relationship between values P 603, Q, Fin 602 and Fout 604 of FIG. 6:
Value P 603 is input to accumulator 600. Value P 603 represents the numerator of the rational expression on the right side of equation 1. Value P 603 may be proportional to the desired output frequency Fout 604. Denominator Q may be proportional to the input frequency Fin 602. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, P 603 and Q may be proportional to vertical clock frequencies of desired display resolution and native display resolution respectively. Native display resolution means fixed panel display resolution. Fin 602 may be input to the clock terminal of gate 601 which, in the preferred embodiment, may be a flip-flop. The count output of accumulator 600 may be input to gate 601. By indirectly coupling Fin 602 through gate 601, anomalies associated with dividing are minimized. As the count increments to value P 603 on each clock transition of Fin 602, carry out value representing mod Q is output as Fout 604.
While the preferred embodiment and alternative embodiments have been disclosed and described in detail herein, it may be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, while interpolation in the preferred embodiment may comprise a polyphase interpolator, the present invention could be practiced with virtually any interpolation means.
Similarly, while output is drawn to a fixed resolution CRT projection panel and a fixed resolution LCD panel, the present invention could be practiced on any system which requires asynchronous display timing for multiple displays operating from the same display data stream. Moreover, although the preferred embodiment is drawn to an integrated circuit, the present invention may be applied to a series of integrated circuits, a chipset, or in other circuitry within a computer system without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

A gunman was in the Park Terrace apartment building, and there was a hostage in danger. Police made the decision to evacuate all of the apartments in the complex, just in case.
Chestnut street is much quieter and the sidewalks, are empty. Earlier that's where everyone who lives there gathered. They had to scramble for safety.
The Ogle family was taking a nap, when police started banging on their door telling them to get out, now.
"They made it very clear that it was urgent." - Scott Ogle
The family didn't have time to grab shoes, or even a shirt for their little girl. They got out as soon as they could, because of what police told them.
"We need everyone to evacuate there's a hostage situation, a man with a gun, that's it." - Scott Ogle
But some residents weren't as cooperative as the Ogles. Police had to force one man to leave. Residents tell us that hundreds lived in those apartments and during the chaos, they sat, on curbs, waiting.
But this isn't the first time cops have been at their apartment complex.
"It wasn't the greatest neighborhood when we first moved in."
But residents say it was still a shock, to see this kind of violence so close to home.
"You want to be safe where you are living."

According to a 2011 report from the Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR), there are nearly 4 million student parents currently enrolled as undergraduates in U.S. colleges and universities; this represents roughly one-quarter of all undergraduates.
A large number of higher-learning institutions have adopted child care programs. EducationDepartment.org notes more than 1,500 colleges, universities, and vocational schools that offer child care for not only students, but also faculty members (and in many cases, community residents) with children. However, some schools have gone to greater lengths than the rest to further support their student parent population.
This list from BestColleges ranks 50 colleges and universities that provide a specific set of amenities for students with children, while still managing to be relatively inexpensive in terms of tuition and administrative fees. Our goal with this list is to provide a resource for parents of young children who would like to enroll in an accredited college program, but are unsure which campus will provide the best fit for their families.

Purchasing Power Parities of the Dollar and Euro
Currently the euro has a purchasing power parity (PPP) of 0.865 vis-à-vis the dollar based on tradables: a basket of internationally traded manufactured goods and tourist services which costs 1 € in the euro zone, comes at 0.865 $ in the USA. In view of an exchange rate of 0.958 $ and based on tradables, the euro was thus overvalued against the dollar by 10.7 percent in mid 2000. Taking an overall economic basket, however, the PPP was 1.078. One GDP unit thus came cheaper by 11.2 percent in mid 2000 in the euro zone than in the USA, so that the euro was undervalued when based on the GDP. The main reason for the discrepancy, i.e., that a GDP unit is cheaper and a unit of tradables is more expensive in the euro zone than in the USA, is the fact that services which are not traded internationally, such as health and education services, are especially expensive, whereas manufactured goods and tourist services are relatively cheap in the USA. In general, the GDP-based PPP is an unsuitable measure of the "fair" level of an exchange rate inasmuch as no country enjoys a price advantage or disadvantage in international trade. After all, large parts of the GDP, and in particular most services and building investments, are hardly if ever traded internationally (in the USA these make up 70 percent of GDP, in the EU 62 percent). Export market shares held by the EU and USA develop closely in line with the tradable-based over- or undervaluation of the euro/ecu against the dollar. Thus, the ecu/euro exchange rate to the dollar between 1987 and 1999 was, on average, 32.6 percent above the PPP of tradables, while at the same time the EU's share of overall exports by the triad (EU, USA, Japan) declined from 68.4 to 63.2 percent, and that of the USA rose from 19.1 to 26.0 percent. Such relationships illustrate not only the impact of sustained price shifts in international trade on relative export growth, but also put calculated PPPs into a plausible light.

My boy is circ'd and I didn't know I needed to do anything special to clean it but today I was changing his diaper and noticed a little whitish material around the tip so I pulled down the skin around the tip and there was tons of it around the head of his penis. I feel like such a bad mom because I didn't know that I had to pull the skin back with a circ, I didn't realize how much they "turtle" in on a baby. I cleaned it all off and his penis looks fine but I just wanted to post incase any other moms didn't realize this. I just texted DH about it and he said "smegma" he has boy parts I wish he wouldve told me.
cleaning a circumcised penis?
Angels, <12/25/10>, <12/12/11>, <3/5/12>, <2/13/13>
I am surprised the doctor didn't show you step by step what to do. But glad that you know now. Thanks for the post.
Smegma is just dead skin cells at this age. Everyone has it. Girls, circ'd boys, uncirc'd boys.
I don't know about circ'd boys but for uncirc'd boys you're not supposed to retract, so obviously I've never cleaned off the smegma on DS. I'd assume that if it's not a big deal for intact boys, it's not a big deal for circ'd boys? I could be wrong.
Isn't mommy guilt great?
Alright… It's Saturday night. I have no date, a two liter bottle of Shasta and my all Rush mix tape. Let's rock!
Just stopping in from the May 2009 board. I did not know any of this in the begining either. I also did not know that the skin can "reattach" if not watched until they are a couple years old. We have had this problem and the Dr told us that we need to pull the skin back a couple times a day, and make sure you pull it all the way back or it will have to be re-separated, and from first hand experience it is not comfortable for the baby either. Just wanted to give you a heads up. have a great day!

I noticed this as soon as his penis had healed. I just make sure to wipe it well during diaper changes and when he gets baths and I clean it really well with baby soap and water and the white stuff comes off easily.
Don't feel bad!

My older son had this, and the skin also reattached but we didn't realize it. So, then it actually got infected -- he was over 1 year at this point. The big difference with him though is that he had this enormous fat pad and the penis sunk into it most of the time - we were pushing it out, but obviously didn't pull the skin back often enough as well. He had a procedure to pull the skin back at around 18 months, and we watched it more closely from then on. (And his fat pad eventually receded too in case anyone is dealing with that and wondering about it).
Mother of J (6/03), H (3/05) & C (11/09)
Yes, all mamals, male and female, have smegma. It's the whiteish "stuff" that seems to appear in the folds of our vulvar lips. If you run your fingernail along the inside of your vulva before you shower, you will get this bit of white, oily, creamy stuff. That's the smegma. And yes, it gets into the folds of the penis as well.
It is true that you need to pull down the skin of the penis away from the glans (or head) at least once a day. Many people will tell you to do it just until the circ heals, but in all honesty, you should do it for the first two years. Why you may ask?
There are skin cells in the foreskin similar to almost exactly like those found under your nails. The foreskin is attached to the glans just like your nail is to your nailbed. These days most drs. leave a bit of foreskin during circumcision for the boy to "grow" into. The cells in the foreskin will do what they are supposed to and try to readhear to the glans. After all, it's their job! So, many circed babies can get adhesions, where part of the foreskin will reattach to the glans.
Many Dr.s in the USA will try to pull them apart. NO, NO, NO! Please, do a bit of research so that when you go into to your Dr. you can tell him no and why. Obviously a boy's foreskin does not stay attached to his glans forever. In male mamals, the body releases a hormone which tells the foreskin to start detatching. In most boys, this process starts around 2 yo. My ODS developed an adhesion because no one told me either. That's when I started doing my research. The ladies on the "To circ or not to circ" board had some amazing info (and yes, they are against it, but don't mind their banter). I left the adhesion alone, and to my surprise so did the Pedi (I was ready for a fight!), and just after his 2nd b-day I noticed that part of the adhesion had released and within a month it was completely gone. The problem with trying to force apart the adhesions is it can cause scar tissue, let alone the pain. My 2nd DS is not circed and he is 27 mo. old and I have noticed that his foreskin is starting to become slightly retractable.
I hope this has been helpful!
(Mostly) loving wife to David and proud Mama to Nathan (6), Will (2) and Tristan-born 10/26/09!
Yeah- we have experienced a few reattachments and I nearly jumped my pediatrician when she separated it without warning me. ( My fiance stopped me from doing anything)
I'm fairly pissed I have to do this at all with a circ, apparently I should have read a million and one more website about it.. *Sigh* sorry, venting a bit.
Yeah, you have to roll it back until he's out of diapers at nearly every diaper change or it can readhere and just wipe it with a baby wipe to get the smegma off. It's no biggie
Bobbie-I've always wondered if adhesions would eventually go away on their own.
Alright… It's Saturday night. I have no date, a two liter bottle of Shasta and my all Rush mix tape. Let's rock!
Wow thanks for all the info!!!
Angels, <12/25/10>, <12/12/11>, <3/5/12>, <2/13/13>
I had an issue with my son's circ when he was little as well I figure I should share just in case anyone has had or might have this problem.
I cleaned my son's penis at EVERY diaper change and washed it very well when he took a shower but he still got a slight infection. It was just a slightly pink ring around the head of his penis. I was freaked out at first but the Dr told me that a combination of sweat, urine, bacteria and yeast that caused it. I was told to pull the skin back put some A&D ointment on the head of his penis and that should help heal and prevent any infection.

Authorities in Kalamazoo police say a pet pit bull that killed a family's 10-day-old baby has been euthanized.
Police say the attack happened Saturday afternoon, and the boy was pronounced dead at the scene.

Odyssey House - Saving and improving the lives of people with addictions.
It is easy to feel alone when in addiction and to feel your life is being dominated by alcohol and drugs. You are not alone – Odyssey House is an expert in the field – we can help you.
Treatment at Odyssey House is unique in that it looks to behaviours as symptomatic of underlying personal problems, such as low self esteem, sexual abuse, domestic violence, parental drug misuse, which must be addressed to successfully overcome drug dependence and remain abstinent in the long term. Our program is a long term residential program which is not easy. For personal growth to replace dependency, you will work hard to change negative attitudes and values, confront the reasons you resorted to misuse and learn strategies to deal with daily life.
