"This one-time additional money will help add teachers back into our classrooms, instruction days to the calendar and address the rising cost of tuition for our college students," said Rep. Mike McLane (R – Powell Butte) the House Republican Leader. "It also provides dedicated funding for mental health programs in Oregon."
Specifically, for the 2013-15 biennium HB 5101, the Stability for Schools and Seniors Act, adds $100 million to the State School Fund for K-12 education; $25 million to the Oregon University system; $15 million to the Community College Support Fund; and $20 million to the Oregon Health Authority for mental health services. The measure also provided a budget note for the higher education funding indicating that the money should be used to freeze or limit the increases in tuition and fees for the second year of the biennium. For the Oregon University System, it targets those tuition limits to resident undergraduate students.
The measure appropriates the money raised by the passage of HB 3601. Both bills were part of the package of legislation being considered by the Oregon Legislature during the special session called by Governor John Kitzhaber.
News release from Rep. Mike McLane:
SALEM, OR – The Oregon House of Representatives passed SB 863 today, the Certainty for Family Farmers of Oregon Act, in an effort to provide Oregon's farm economy greater certainty regarding seed and crop regulations. The bill requires an Oregon policy related to seeds and crops be implemented statewide and prohibits such regulation at the county or city level.
"A patchwork of regulations across the state is bad for our agriculture economy. Oregon's farmers need certainty," said Rep. Mike McLane (R – Powell Butte) the House Republican Leader.
The measure exempts counties that have already qualified a ballot measure on the issue, specifically Jackson County. If the Jackson County measure fails, however, the county would no longer be exempt.
McLane's closing statement in the House as the special session drew to a close is online at:

CBNNews.com - JERUSALEM, Israel - The Israel Police National Fraud Unit will interrogate Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert Friday for a second time during its most recent investigations, on suspicions of bribery and money laundering.
According to police, the prime minister's legal team sought to prevent a second questioning session.
In a related matter, Olmert's attorneys filed a petition Monday with the High Court of Justice seeking to prevent police from taking a pre-trial deposition from American businessman Morris Talansky, prior to his departure for America.
Olmert's legal representatives claimed that deposing Talansky would have an adverse affect on their client.
State Prosecutor Moshe Lador told the three-judge panel why it was important to obtain Talansky's preliminary testimony.
Talansky, a key witness in the latest investigations against the prime minister, came to Israel to spend the Passover holiday with his son.
Police secured a stay of exit order so they could interrogate him, based on the possibility that Talanksy would be unwilling to return to Israel to testify.

Still going with PB. Still losing. Starting to see (and feel) a difference.
Most of this is copied from a comment I made in the 21 day challenge post.
My wife and I actually came across this concept a little over a week ago after two doctors (sleep, M.D.) admonished me that losing weight was the answer to my health problems. I have sleep apnea, blood pressure has been elevated lately and I just felt generally miserable. All of this because I was 57″, 266 lbs! My new doc suggested this website along with whole9, and I started Saturday, 1st. We weighed Friday the 7th, and between us both we lost 18 lbs in one week! I lost eleven pounds in a week! Ive never lost eleven pounds (even fasting) so Im pumped. Also, I was coming down with a head cold, but its about gone. I have been walking/hiking some, but want to add the other fitness concepts during this time, since the cold is about over. Thanks.

Still going with PB. Still losing. Starting to see (and feel) a difference.
Update for 10/5/2012. 2 lbs more gone. 20 since Sept. 1, 2012. Lifting heavy things (myself). Walking/hiking. Having fun.
Update: 26 lbs lost in 8 weeks. Haven't been able to do a pullup since high school, but I'm getting close. Pushups, squats and planks getting easier. I try to walk throughout the week, though I don't get to every day. I have some fruit and a little dark chocolate several times a week. Other than that, cold turkey, man. No grains, legumes, dairy since Sept. 1st. I'm eating the best foods ever in my life. I eat until I get full. When I first started I had to beat the addiction to something (sugar, artificial sweeteners), but once I toughed it out a few days, I don't get nearly as hungry as I used to. I'm not against doctors, but I am against walking through the exam room door whilst writing a prescription for some drug, instead of giving it to me straight. My new doctor did just that - gave it to me straight. He simply said, "you are addicted to food". I had to agree. He has refused to do any blood work or anything until he gave me a chance to choose to do something about my health for myself. He gave me three months to see if I was serious about improving my health. I think when I return in late November, he will see I was. The doctor suggested this diet to me because I told him I wanted to learn a way to eat that I could continue for the rest of my life. Not something you suffer through until the weight is off, only to return to eating the "old" way and see it all come back. I've already done that too many times. My wife and I continue to feel better each week, and pretty soon our wardrobe will have to change. I can certainly eat this way the rest of my life. Hope this can encourage somebody to give it a try.

What Does Your Personal Learning Environment Look Like?
By User12601034-Oracle on Jul 11, 2014
As we were finishing a conversation this week about blogging and communicating, my colleague asked, "What's your motivation for writing?"
After thinking for a minute, I realized that I write because it allows me to synthesize all the information that I'm receiving about a particular topic. As I write, I can recognize common threads, define questions for myself, come up with possible answers and make sense of all the content that comes my way. Blogging is, quite simply, one tool that I use to learn about and organize information.
This realization made me think about the concept of personal learning environments (PLEs). I first heard of PLEs last summer when we were at my neighbor's house for a backyard fire. My neighbors are teachers, as were a large number of other guests, and they were all talking about their PLEs. As a learning person, my ears perked up.
I found out that a PLE is basically a flexible structure – identifying digital and non-digital resources that help people organize the influx of information that is a part of their learning. All of the applications, tools and resources in a PLE are selected by the user, thereby the 'personal' part of the equation. The "E" is a visual representation of everything.
Because it seemed like a fun thing to do, I mapped out my own PLE, and it looks like this:
My PLE shows my 'gathering' activities on the left and my 'action' stuff on the right. I'm a big gatherer of information – I love to read, search and explore, and I do this with a wide variety of tools and resources. Once I have this information, I move to the right side of the page – I need to act on it. For me, 'action' might mean aggregating like ideas, writing a blog or tweet to share some kind of insight, sharing the information with my colleagues, or putting something out on Beehive for later use.
Yesterday, I felt like my brain is just always busy. Today, my PLE gives structure to how I gather and process information. Educators argue that mapping this PLE and understanding how we deal with the huge influx of information gives us the opportunity to reflect and build our capabilities around any given topic. This is a key feature in what educators call Information Fluency – a triad of domain knowledge, critical thinking and presentation & participation – a state of competency in any subject.
The University of Alaska, Fairbanks has mapped out some common activities that occur as part of the Information Fluency triad:
Although this concept is used in the education world, I think it has a great deal of significance in the business world as well. Think about it like this: You have a person supporting a new product (I'm going to use 'his' just for ease of writing). That person needs to increase his knowledge about the product and does so by talking with others, reading user guides, observing other support people (domain knowledge). As knowledge increases, he can start analyzing issues, explaining problems, etc. (critical thinking). As he becomes an expert, he might blog about the product, speak at OpenWorld, or serve as a mentor to new people (presentation & participation).
The Information Fluency triad provides the model for defining competency; the Personal Learning Environment identifies the tools and resources used to achieve that competency. Understanding these two components might make us better at helping our people learn the things they need to be successful in their roles.
Overall, I think mapping your Personal Learning Environment is an interesting exercise as it gives you the opportunity to:
- See how you access information and what you do with that information
- Identify areas of strengths
- Identify areas for improving knowledge and/or productivity
- Use it as a discussion point with your manager
- Use it to define opportunities for your development plan
- Reflect on how you learn and how you are motivated
So, my challenge to you is this: map out your personal learning environment.
If you're concerned about what it should look like, don't be. Google 'personal learning environment' and click "Images." You will see that a PLE is as unique as any one individual. Start small and take your time – PLEs are meant to be dynamic and will change and adapt to your learning needs and goals.
Those teachers talked about a lot of other things around the fire that night, but I'll save those for another post!

Nothing has been signed, but the word is that Bruce Willis may be getting as much as $16 million to make Die Hard 3. Conversations with a number of sources lead us to believe the deal for a third Die Hard is not far off.
Willis will not comment on the DH3 deal, but, yes, that was him beaming away at last month's Republican National Convention in Houston. Is Willis a Bush man? A source close to him says Willis is "an independent who supports George Bush and believes in the direction Bush is taking the country."
That's news to us and to some who have known him in the past. Cybill Shepherd, Willis's costar on Moonlighting, and Glenn Gordon Caron, Moonlighting's creator and executive producer, both say they never remember him discussing his feelings—positive or negative—concerning any political candidate.
Shannen Doherty may not play a brat on TV, but she can behave like one in real life. We hear from a source who was there that the Beverly Hills, 90210 star, scheduled to present an Emmy with fellow 90210-er Jennie Garth and Full House's John Stamos, threw a semi-tantrum at a rehearsal because she thought she didn't have enough lines and objected to Garth's getting to speak first. Later, Doherty made a fuss over her seats, and when better tickets were not forthcoming, left the Emmys altogether.
Her reps say Doherty had tried in vain to contact the Emmys' director ahead of time to discuss her role on the show. After failing to come to agreement at the rehearsal, they say, it was decided "that it was in everyone's best interest that [Doherty] not participate this year."
We told you in last week's column that Rob Lowe had no interest in writing his autobiography, even though his agents, unbeknownst to him, had tried unsuccessfully to shop just such a book deal.
We can tell you this week that Lowe has new agents. The actor is now represented by the William Morris Agency; he had been represented by the Gersh Agency. Why the switch? Lowe's spokesperson says the attempt to sell a Lowe book "was the final straw" in a relationship Lowe felt wasn't advancing his career.
Jane Fonda, who is in good enough aerobic shape to do it, is backpedaling from a widely printed Associated Press interview she gave last month that seemed to indicate she was retiring from movies to devote more time to new husband Ted Turner and to her multimillion-dollar fitness-video empire. A spokesperson for Fonda Films, her production company, said that although the actress indeed does plan to "ease up on her schedule," she is not dissolving her production company. "If her agent finds a script he thinks is special, she'll consider it," says the rep.

How do you measure the distance from an African village to an American city? What does it mean to be a refugee in today's "global village"? "Rain in a Dry Land" provides eye-opening answers as it chronicles the fortunes of two Somali Bantu families, transported by relief agencies from years of civil war and refugee life to Springfield, Massachusetts and Atlanta, Georgia. As the newcomers confront racism, poverty and 21st-century culture shock, the film captures their efforts to survive in America and create a safe haven for their war-torn families. Their poetry, humor and amazing resilience show us our own world through new eyes. A co-production with the Independent Television Service (ITVS).

"Tragedy is easy... comedy is hard." The short stories and sketches of James Thurber, Dorothy Parker, and the legendary Mark Twain fill the bill of Centenary Stage Company's ninth Great Authors Aloud presentation for this free staged reading event on Sunday, Sept. 7, at 3 p.m., in The Edith Kutz Theater.
This exploration of the human foibles, comic frustrations and eccentricities of ordinary people will be performed by the renowned theatrical pair of Randall Duk Kim and Anne Occhiogrosso. At a time when the world seems to be falling down around our ears and human behavior has left the sanest of us baffled, a healthy dose of these three might be exactly what the doctor ordered to reassure ourselves that the world isn't going crazy; it's simply always been that way.
Together with Charles Bright, Kim and Occhiogrosso founded the classical American Players Theatre (APT) in Spring Green, Wisconsin in 1981, and have worked together for 35 years. Winner of the OBIE Award for Sustained Excellence, Kim began his early career with the legendary Joe Papp and the New York Public Theatre's Shakespeare Festival, and continued to perform leading roles at some of America's finest regional theatres.
Director Anne Occhiogrosso has received national recognition for her work with APT. She is an acclaimed director, dramaturge, acting coach and actor, whose primary focus has been classical theatre with a special emphasis on the works of William Shakespeare. She has also taught at the Stella Adler Conservatory of Acting and the New York Shakespeare Festival and currently works with Classical Productions, Inc. where she coaches individuals in audition preparation, character development and script analysis for film, television and theater.
The Edith Kutz Theatre is in The Lackland Center at 715 Grand Ave. in Hackettstown. Admission is free, but reservations are requested. Patrons interested in attending should make reservations by calling the Centenary Stage Company box office at 908-979-0900 or visit centenarystageco.org. The presentation will be followed by a lively discussion with the audience and artists.
The 2014-15 season of performing arts events at the Centenary Stage Company is made possible through the generous support of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, the NJ State Council on the Arts, the Shubert Foundation, the Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation and CSC sponsors, including Premier Sponsor Heath Village Retirement Community, Silver Sponsors Hackettstown Regional Medical Center, The Holiday Inn in Budd Lake, and Fulton Bank, and Centenary Stage Company members and supporters.

ABC Corp. Coaching Database Project
ABC Corp. provides coaching services to their clients through lessons that are delivered. Each coach manages their lessons, and upon completion of a lesson they need to track the details of the lesson, the attendees and the billing information.
Create a web-based system for coaches to enter the information about lessons delivered, including the details of the lesson, the attendees and the billing information.
Also, create a report that management can use to view the information about coaches and lessons, as well as the billing information.
Please anticipate that each client will enter thousands of transactions each year, and therefore the reports should still run quickly should they select a 5 year range.
Technical notes
Please use the Zend framework with an Object Oriented LAMP setup using the MVC architecture to create the software.
We will need access to the source code.
Please post the site to your server that we may test on, or send us the source code so we may view it locally.
Project completion date: November 23, 2012
Important Notes:
- Not every detail is provided, please use common sense to propose solutions for anything you're unsure about. For example, the increments for duration of the lesson / class is not specified, so you could include increments of every 5 min, or whatever you think is logical.
- For now, there is no need to worry about deleting and editing incorrectly entered transactions. Assume that anything that is not in scope will be completed in future projects (There is an opportunity for full-time employment). However, ensure that you include all functionality that allows you to successfully demonstrate all of the specifications requested in this project.
- *** This project is an introduction to our main program, PLEASE only apply if you can commit to Full Time hours for the main project starting in December 2012. ***

GRAY SUMMIT, Mo. - Two buses carrying high school band students to an amusement park were involved in a freeway wreck with a semi tractor and another passenger vehicle Thursday that left two people dead and dozens injured, officials said. Missouri Department of Transportation spokesman Jorma Duran confirmed the two deaths but could not immediately say whether the victims of the Interstate 44 crash about 10 a.m. near Gray Summit, 32 miles west of St. Louis, were riders on the school buses. Ashley Wiehle, a spokeswoman for SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center in St. Louis, said 36 kids were en route to the hospital. She said they appeared to be in good condition and were going to be examined as a precaution. Six more children were taken to St. John's Mercy Medical Center but their injuries and their conditions were not known, hospital spokeswoman Bethany Pope said. A spokeswoman at St. Clare Health Center in Fenton, Mo., said four other patients were taken there with minor injuries. The buses were carrying St. James high school band students to the Six Flags amusement park roughly 10 miles from the crash scene. Aerial footage of the wreckage showed the front end of one of the yellow school buses perched atop the back of the gray semi rig's cab. The second bus had smashed into a rear corner of the first bus. Firefighters were hosing down the mangled debris, and metal ladders provided access to the buses' windows. Calls to the Franklin County Sheriff's Department were directed to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, which did not immediately return calls and pages. Duran said vehicles involved in the crash included what appeared to be a sports utility vehicle, which was crushed and hardly distinguishable while wedged below the bus that came to rest atop the semi tractor's cab. Hours later, eastbound lanes of the freeway remained closed, forcing traffic in that direction to be detoured several miles around the wreckage. --- Associated Press writers Jim Suhr in St. Louis, Chris Blank in Jefferson City, and Heather Hollingsworth and Bill Draper in Kansas City contributed to this report.

For teams struggling to win games during the 2013-14 season, there's one beautiful thing about the way the NBA works.
Tomorrow is another day.
Scarlett O'Hara would be proud of these five teams, because they're all focused on tomorrow (in a metaphorical sense), and they're going about the rebuilding process in the right way. Not all bottom-feeders can turn things around in just one or two seasons, but this handful of squads in the Association is poised to do exactly that.
Players on the roster right now look like future studs. Draft picks flow through the ledgers with relative abundance. There's cap space to add another prominent piece to the rotation.
The future looks bright, even if the present is dark and full of terrors.
In order to qualify for this article, though, the team must currently sit below .500. Sorry to the Phoenix Suns and Toronto Raptors, both of whom have brighter futures than their current states, but they've won too many games to gain eligibility.
I'm sure they don't mind much.
Note: All stats, unless otherwise indicated, are current as of Jan. 25 and come from Basketball-Reference.

Dell Latitude d505 touchpad problem
Hi, I installed 64studio on my dell latitude d505 today and 2 issues I found- the touchpad on the laptop moves like molasses, and the mouse preferences gui and the touchpad gui seems to have no effect. USB mouse works fine. Any idea? In the synaptic package manager, the search for synaptics touchpad brings up configuration utilities, but no driver, so I am assuming it works by default. I haven't had this issue with any other distro (linux mint was on this machine until 10:30 this morning). Issue 2- If I log out and log back in, I get an error message stating that there is already a panel running, then the 64 studio screen comes on but my gnome panel is not there. Rebooting works, but not supposed to need to do that. In spite of these little issues, and the trouble I ma having on my rackmount PC compiling ffado, I still think 64studio is the best music distro I have tried and I look forward to getting it running 100% smoothly. Thanks.

Water tanks for displaced persons camps in Port-au-Prince have been provided by World Jewish Relief with the £500,000 raised to date by its Haiti emergency appeal.
The earthquake had a seriously damaging effect on water and sanitation arrangements and the charity says
the tanks will benefit hundreds of families.
WJR last month announced a partnership with Merlin, a UK-based international aid agency, to help establish health clinics in the devastated areas and is looking to recruit UK Jews to assist the medical and other projects on six-month placements.
WJR chairman Nigel Layton said that "thanks to the generosity of the UK Jewish community we are able to play a significant role in the emergency relief effort and in helping to provide a lasting and sustainable recovery.
"I am delighted that together with our partners on the ground, we are able to provide fresh water supplies to those affected by the disaster."

DC is home to the "World's Greatest Super Heroes," internationally recognized icons that continue to thrill generation after generation. Established in 1938 with the first appearance of SUPERMAN, the Man of Steel, and bolstered the following year with the debut of BATMAN, the Dark Knight Detective, this extraordinary world of modern mythology also includes legendary characters such as WONDER WOMAN, GREEN LANTERN, THE FLASH, AQUAMAN and the rest of THE JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA.
About DC Entertainment
As graphic storytelling matured and began to reach out to broader audiences, Vertigo was created in 1993 as a venue for material of an edgier, more sophisticated nature. Many of today's most provocative writers and artists, including Neil Gaiman, Brian K. Vaughn, Warren Ellis, Gilbert Hernandez, Peter Milligan, Grant Morrison, Paul Pope and Brian Azzarello, have found a creative home at Vertigo. Among the award-winning series published since Vertigo's inception are SANDMAN, Y: THE LAST MAN, TRANSMETROPOLITAN, 100 BULLETS, PREACHER, FABLES and HELLBLAZER.
MAD is America's longest running and best-selling magazine with that name. For over 60 years MAD has been synonymous for "excellence in low standards." With its grinning, gapped-toothed idiot mascot, Alfred E Neuman "gracing" its front cover, MAD satirizes politics, celebrities, sports and more in its print and digital editions, and also on its daily humor blog (which is updated daily, hence the term "daily humor blog"). MAD's most legendarily moronic features include Spy vs. Spy, The Fold-in, "A MAD Look at..," Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions and its iconic TV and movie parodies. MAD's contributors – widely known as "Usual Gang of Idiots" — include such notable names Al Jaffee, Sergio Aragones, Peter Kuper, and Tim Carvell — although they wisely prefer to downplay their association with the magazine.

May the Fourth Be With You on Star Wars DayWhit Honea
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away there was Star Wars, and it was good. In fact, it was so good, and remains so, that it has slipped beyond the confines of pop culture and continues to spread its influence across the entire world (galaxy?) and multiple generations. Not bad for a little space movie.
This coming Saturday is Star Wars Day, because like all things that impact people on a scale of such magnitude it deserves a holiday to offer our thanks and recognition. Lightsabers make a nice gift.
But why May 4? Because May the fourth sounds a lot like the classic Start Wars line "may the Force be with you," and who doesn't love a good pun?
My family likes to celebrate Star Wars Day in a variety of ways. Sometimes we kick it off with Star Wars pancakes. Sometimes we go to Disneyland (not to be confused with Star Wars Weekends at Walt Disney World) and ride Star Tours five times in a row. Sometimes we watch the movies or play LEGO Star Wars on the Wii. The possibilities are endless.
This year I won't be with my kids on Star Wars Day. I will be at a conference (Mom 2.0 Summit aka Rebel Alliance to the WSJ Empire) and the boys will be with their grandparents, but thanks to advancements in intergalactic technology and communications, e.g., Google Hangouts, we can connect for a moment to jump around like a bunch of Ewoks on the virtual dance floor between our respective bases.
I admit, I feel kind of bad about it; however, they have trained long and hard for such a day, and the Force is strong in them.
How will you celebrate Star Wars Day?

And I should have posted some xml, so here it is: <text> <line id="1" s_len="2.8"> <word id="1">Thou</word> <word id="2">still</word> <word id="3">unravish'd</word> <word id="4">bride</word> <word id="5">of</word> <word id="6">quietness</word>, </line> <clause id="2" s_len="2.4"> <word id="7">The</word> <word id="8">quick</word>- <word id="9">brown</word> <word id="10">fox</word> <word id="11">jumped</word> <word id="12">over</word> <word id="13">lazy</word> <word id="14">dog</word>, </clause> </text> I want a the xpath which would work in a template match to get the parent node of <word>, no matter what it is, whose @s_len attribute is less than 2.5 seconds. The template will then compose an element for output, using the tagname of that parent of <word> which met that condition. This works: <xsl:template match="clause[@s_len<2.5] | line[@s_len<2.5]"> <xsl:element name="{name()}"> <xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of select="@id" /></xsl:attribute> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> But it presumes that I know that the parent of <word> is either a node named <clause> or <line>. I am trying to generalize even further and not make that assumption in the match condition. As I said, I cannot seem to use any axis or axis-like expression, so matches like the following give an error in Altova Spy: match="word/parent::*[@s_len<2.5]" match="word/../*[@s_len<2.5]" I have tried your suggestions and no node is returned, but I think I was not clear in what I needed. --- On Fri, 2/26/10, Christopher R.

|Home > Glossary
This glossary describes some of the terms used in this manual. Where terms can have several meanings, the meaning presented here is intended.
AMBA is the ARM open standard for multi-master on-chip buses, capable of running with multiple masters and slaves. It is an on-chip bus specification that details a strategy for the interconnection and management of functional blocks that make up a System-on-Chip (SoC). It aids in the development of embedded processors with one or more CPUs or signal processors and multiple peripherals. AMBA complements a reusable design methodology by defining a common backbone for SoC modules. APB conforms to this standard.
The AMBA Advanced Peripheral Bus is a simpler bus protocol than AHB. It is designed for use with ancillary or general-purpose peripherals such as timers, interrupt controllers, UARTs, and I/O ports. Connection to the main system bus is through a system-to-peripheral bus bridge that helps to reduce system power consumption.
See Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture.
See Advanced Peripheral Bus.
The NSC on-chip IP block that interfaces between the IEC, the HPM, the DCG and external power supplies conforming to the PowerWise™ Interface.
The organization of hardware and/or software that characterizes a processor and its attached components, and enables devices with similar characteristics to be grouped together when describing their behavior, for example, Harvard architecture, instruction set architecture, ARMv6 architecture.
The part of a processor that contains the ALU, the registers, and the instruction decode logic and control circuitry. Also commonly known as the processor core.
See Central Processing Unit.
A system-specific clock generator that has an IEC-compliant performance setting and monitoring interface. It also interfaces to the Advanced Power Controller (APC) and the Hardware Performance Monitor (HPM).
A functional part of the IEC. The DPC translates the target performance level into index values for the DCG and DVC interfaces. It also performs reverse mapping when the IEM software reads the current performance level
A functional part of the IEC. The DPM provides hardware support for the IEM software to monitor the work done for various tasks. Three channels are available. Each channel is in the form of a 64-bit accumulator that counts the fractional performance every PCLK clock cycle when IECDPMCLKEN is HIGH.
A system specific block that controls an off-chip power supply unit and interfaces to the IEC and DCG blocks
Support for controlling the multi-level power supply to a subsystem to reduce voltage when less than 100% of the performance is required by the subsystem. This is achieved using dynamic software control.
The NSC implementation of a PSU that works closely with the APC to provide a closed loop voltage scaling solution.
The component that provides a standard API interface for the IEM software to set performance levels regardless of any system specific blocks such as the DVC and the DCG. It also provides monitoring functions through the DPM.
A process to enable prolonged battery life of a device by dynamically controlling the power level.
An energy manager solution consisting of both software and hardware components that function together to prolong battery life in a device.
A feature that is not architecturally defined, and can vary between implementations. The feature is defined and documented for each individual implementation.
A contraction of microprocessor. A processor includes the CPU or core, plus additional components such as memory, and interfaces. These are combined as a single macrocell, that can be fabricated on an integrated circuit.
A temporary storage location used to hold binary data until it is ready to be used.
A field in a control register or instruction format is reserved if the field is to be defined by the implementation, or produces Unpredictable results if the contents of the field are not zero. These fields are reserved for use in future extensions of the architecture or are implementation-specific. All reserved bits not used by the implementation must be written as zero and are read as zero.

Featured Golf News
Chris Williams on a Roll
Chris Williams had just won the Washington State Amateur minutes earlier at the Eagles Pride Golf Course at Fort Lewis, Wash., and was being interviewed by a reporter.
Chris Williams - 2011 SPC Champion
Asked about his immediate 2012 summer golf plans, Williams said he was headed to Ireland for the Palmer Cup (U.S. collegians vs. their European counterparts) and then would attempt to defend his title at the Sahalee Players Championship. "You realize that no one has ever won the Sahalee event two years in a row?" the reporter asked.
Williams perked up. "Really?" he said. "All right, I'll have to keep that in mind."
Williams won the Sahalee Players Championship (SPC) last year by a stroke. The No. 2-ranked amateur in the world sounds eager to get back to Sahalee Country Club, the Sammamish, Wash., course whose name translates from Chinook Native American language as "high, heavenly ground." The 72-hole championship is by invitation only and attracts an international field of elite amateurs. It is being held July 4-6, with July 5 as the two-round day.
"That's a great course," said Williams, a Golfweek All-American who will return for his senior season at Washington in the fall. "They get it in awesome shape. It was fun to win it last year. You have to hit it straight there. You have to hit a lot of fairways, hit a lot of greens. It's tough to make birdies out there. They set it up almost like a U.S. Open."
Indeed, two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen once said of Sahalee, "I think the best way to prepare for this course would be to go to a big city, like New York, and play down Fifth Avenue."
The inaugural Sahalee Players Championship was played in 1992 to showcase Northwest amateur golfers. But as the course's reputation grew and blossomed with the 1998 PGA Championship and later the 2002 NEC Invitational, the tournament's founders made the SPC a truly national event by broadening the invitation list. Most of the field consists of elite college players, as the event has become a major stepping stone in the selection of players for the U.S. Walker Cup Team.
The list of past champions now reads like a Who's Who of golf. Casey Martin of Eugene, Ore., now the head golf coach at the University of Oregon who recently made headlines by qualifying for the U.S. Open, won the SPC in 1993. Martin would later become famous as the talented handicapped golfer who challenged the PGA Tour in 2001 and its ban on the use of golf carts.
In 2004, the SPC was one of five significant events won by Puyallup, Wash., native Ryan Moore in what is considered the greatest year of amateur golf by anyone since 1930 when Bobby Jones won the Grand Slam. Moore won the NCAA Championship, U.S. Public Links Championship, U.S. Amateur, Western Amateur and Sahalee Players Championship.
In one of the championship's wildest finishes, Kyle Stanley, now on the PGA Tour, won a four-way playoff in 2006 in which an eagle on the first playoff hole wasn't good enough for victory. Stanley, a native of Gig Harbor, Wash. who captured his first Tour victory earlier this year, and Jon McLean of Texas Christian both eagled the par-5 18th hole to eliminate current PGA Tour star Dustin Johnson and Derek Berg that served as the first playoff hole. Stanley then eagled the hole 20 minutes later for the win.
In 2009, Nick Taylor of the University of Washington won the championship in a year that saw him win the Ben Hogan Award as the nation's top collegiate player. Past SPC champions Moore, Stanley and Peter Uihlein (2010 winner) also won the Hogan Award. Uihlein won the year the tournament was moved to The Home Course in DuPont, Wash., while the U.S. Senior Open was at Sahalee. Uihlein would also win the 2010 U.S. Amateur, later that summer at Chambers Bay.
More than a dozen golfers who have competed in the Sahalee Players Championship have wound up on the PGA Tour.
One of Williams' top challengers this year will be junior phenom Beau Hossler of Mission Viejo, Calif., who captured the imagination of golf fans worldwide as he briefly took the lead in the second round of the U.S. Open at Olympic Club. Hossler finished tied for fourth at last year's SPC. Also competing this year will be Brigham Young University standout Zac Blair of Ogden, Utah, who tied for second at the SPC before winning the 2011 PNGA Men's Amateur.
Other notables for this year are reigning Pac-12 champion Andrew Yun of Stanford; Cheng Tsung Pan, the sophomore at the UW who was named First Team All Pac-12 and is currently the 10th ranked amateur in the world; and Lorens Chan, Hawaii State Amateur champion.
Admission is free; spectators must adhere to the Sahalee dress code that requires a collared shirt and prohibits jeans and cell phones.
Once again this year, the Sahalee Players Championship is scheduled back-to-back with the PNGA Men's Amateur as part of the "Western Swing." The PNGA championship will be held at Wine Valley Golf Club near Walla Walla July 9-14.

You might be introspective today which could cause you to look within yourself and contemplate your past and how it has affected you. Reflecting on what has happened and how that has shaped who you are can be a wonderful exercise in coming to a deeper understanding of the universe's plan for you. While your life path may not seem obvious at first, in looking back you might be able to see certain patterns in the way things have happened. Without judging or criticizing yourself, perhaps today you can imagine that you are connecting the dots of your past, putting them into a complete picture of your present life. Using this picture of your life you might not only help you to find deeper insights into your past but also let you envision how your future may unfold as well.
Pondering where we have been allows us to see where we are headed. Unless we take the time to think about our past, our life can seem disjointed -- rather than seeing things as a continuing process of our overall growth, the things that have happened to us might seem random and incoherent. When we consciously reflect on our past, however, we begin to see patterns that emerge – things that might not seem obvious at first but which, upon further consideration, come into much clearer focus the more we look at them. By searching your past today, you will discern patterns in your actions that will in turn help you to live your life more fully.

I was under the impression that if you received Va disability & were in the guard or reserve you could still receive your VA benefit so long as your training/active days did not exceed a certain consecutive amount like 21 day period? I hoped someone might be aware of the VA regulation in regard to this or resource which gives the accurate information. I thought I had seen something online which state you could receive your Va & drill pay?
You can not receive both in any month,
Hope fully this answers your question on drill pay.
§ 12316. Payment of certain Reserves while on duty(a) Except as provided by subsection (b), a Reserve of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard who because of his earlier military service is entitled to a pension, retired or retainer pay, or disability compensation, and who performs duty for which he is entitled to compensation, may elect to receive for that duty either- (1) the payments to which he is entitled because of his earlier military service; or (2) if he specifically waives those payments, the pay and allowances authorized by law for the duty that he is performing. (b) Unless the payments because of his earlier military service are greater than the compensation prescribed by subsection (a)(2), a Reserve of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard who because of his earlier military service is entitled to a pension, retired or retainer pay, or disability compensation, and who upon being ordered to active duty for a period of more than 30 days in time of war or national emergency is found physically qualified to perform that duty, ceases to be entitled to the payments because of his earlier military service until the period of active duty ends. While on that active duty, he is entitled to the compensation prescribed by subsection (a)(2). Other rights and benefits of the member or his dependents are unaffected by this subsection.
Now let's say you are at 10%....The ammount for your drill pay probably would be more than your disability..so take the drill pay!
The bottom line is this: If you intend to Retire from the reserves, you could waive your pay, take the points and after 20 years Retire.
Sorry,No Double Dipping!
|New Member
Same boat, sort of....
Disability rating: 90%.
Drill pay will be for a Navy O3, 12 years AD, trying to go the rest Selected Reserves.
Does it matter which one I waive (drill pay vs. VA comp)?
Many thanks.
|New Member
Per the VA itself
Selected Reserve and National Guard - By law, if you are an active member of the Selected Reserve or National Guard, your VA compensation will be withheld at the rate of one day of
pay for each drill period served. In addition, VA compensation is not payable while serving fulltime on active duty.
So if you are on drill for 4 days pay your monthly disability is reduced by 4 days based on a 30 day month. If you go on AT (active duty) for 15 days you only get 50% of your VA disability that month. That is what is ment by 12316 - you can not draw pay and compensation for the same day. Drill pay is not for the whole month it is for a specificy period of "days". Ie. if you get called up
Thank you for clarifying my statement! I passed out the right info,but misread and understood how it worked. I had a few soldiers in the same boat, and after talking to them, I gave them the wrong info! Thank you so much for correcting my post!!!
|New Member
My question is how does the VA know my days served in a month? Am I going to need to submit my paystub every month or are they tied into the system and its taken care of by itself?
I am in Air Force Reserves and am in the middle of putting together my claim paperwork, wondering incase I get 10+%.
|New Member
The VA will notify DoD that are recieving Disability or you can let the VA know your drill/AD time using VA form 21-8951-2. You are also suppose to let your unit know so they can notify the VA. Eventually it will catch up to you so it is better to be up front or you will get hit with no pay due for a while.
|New Member
38 U.S.C 5304(c) You can not double dip. You can not get payed disability while on your drill weekend or active duty time. You do recive benefits between drills.
I believe there is something that is not aligned with the stars. While I understand the law in regards to drill pay and VA SCD it seems fundementally wrong that a person who is recieving disabilty for a service connected problem also is allowed to drill or go on active duty.
You can not receive VA Compensation on Active Duty. The VA rules for disability and the military branch rules for for fit for duty are not the same. In the reserves, you can not collect VA comp for drill or ADT days.
And they will not allow you to serve if your disability is above a level. Also, these days, with a few exceptions, a disability will prevent reenlisting after separation.
So can't I just elect to not receive military pay for drill days? It is an option on VA Form 21-8951-2. Being that my rating will be high enough to be more than that of drill pay, if this is an option then I would drill for free??? I'm hoping to go SELRES for the retirement and the insurance benefits...not the $300(or so)/month.
You loose 4/30th of you VA for every weekend of drill and 1/2 for the 2 weeks. You can not waive reserve pay. If you had a 50% rating with a spouse at $845, your loss would be $113 per month. At 80%, it would be $206. At 80%, you probably should not be in the reserves.
Thanks for the reply, however I am not convinced because on the VA form I stated earlier there is an election that states:
"I elect to waive military pay and allowances for the days indicated on the front of this form in order to retain my
VA compensation or pension. NOTE: Checking this option will give most veterans LESS money"
To me that says that I can elect to not receive military pay.
I will be calling the VA tomorrow to get more information. If I get good info I will post it here for all to read. My claim is still pending at the rating board and it should be at or around 60% any day now. I completed my retention physical and as per Coast Guard medical I am eligible to enlist in SELRES. the rating percentage does not matter. again thats the CG though, VA rep told me each service is different.
Again,thanks for the reply.
