Notice: More than one reissue application has been filed for the reissue of Pat. No. 6,363,200. The reissue applications are application Nos. 10/810,547 (the present application) and 11/397,885 (a divisional reissue application of U.S. Pat. No. 6,363,200 ).
This application is a divisional of application Ser. No. 09/122,947, filed Jul. 27, 1998, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,160,946 which application is incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates to an apparatus for housing fiber optic telecommunications equipment in outside plant environments. More particularly, this invention relates to an enclosure and management apparatus for housing cross-connect and/or interconnect equipment for fiber optic telecommunications systems. This invention also relates to modules for housing optical couplers such as optical splitters, wavelength division multiplexers.
With the increased use of fiber optic technology in telecommunications, there is a need for apparatus which permit access to cross-connect functions and interconnect functions, while protecting the components in the field. For example, it is desirable to have access to fiber optic cables in outdoor locations such as contained within an enclosure adjacent to buildings which are linked at the enclosure to a feeder line.
In order to protect fiber optic connections from the environment and from damage due to impact or vandalism, such equipment is housed in enclosures which may be securably locked from unauthorized access. An example enclosure is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,734,776. The enclosure has a circular base, and a cylindrical shape. Enclosures with a more square shape are also known. Reltec (Reliable Electric) of Cleveland, Ohio sells a generally square enclosure, or pedestal, typically made of green colored metal, identified as CAD 12. The Reltec CAD12 enclosure is generally about 12 inches by 12 inches at the base and about three to four feet high.
Providing cross-connect and/or interconnect functions within the enclosure is desired. Ease of assembly of the system and ease of access for later maintenance of the system are also desired. There is a need for further apparatus and methods for enclosing and managing outside plant equipment with cross-connect and interconnect functions. There is also a need for enclosing and managing fiber optic splice locations and optical couplers.
An optical fiber distribution frame apparatus includes a frame member having upper and lower module mounting brackets and an interior. The upper and lower module mounting brackets are spaced apart to define a space for receipt of a plurality of fiber optic modules mounted to the frame member. Each module includes a front and two mounting flanges. Each mounting flange is mountable to one of the upper and lower module mounting brackets.
The modules are provided with one or more functions. One of the modules defines a connection module and further includes a rear spaced from the front, a spaced apart top and bottom positioned adjacent to the flanges, and spaced apart sides. The connection module is configured and arranged for housing a plurality of connection locations having exposed openings along the front arranged in one or more vertical arrays. The bottom, the rear, and the opposed sides of the connection module define a cable notch region, wherein the cable notch region includes an opening for a first cable to enter the module. The first cable is connectable to the connection locations within an interior of the connection module either directly or through optical couplers. A further module defines a storage module including first and second spools positioned on the front.
The connection locations preferably define adapters for connection to connectors of fiber optic cables. Preferably, the adapters are angled downwardly when the connection module is mounted to the frame member.
An enclosure is preferably provided to surround the frame member for use in an outside plant application. In the case of configuring the optical fiber distribution frame apparatus as an interconnect system, the storage module preferably includes a cable clamp positioned on the front for clamping a second cable, wherein the second cable is connectable to the connection locations on the connector module. The frame member preferably has a cable tray and an opening sized for receipt of the second cable. The interconnect system may also include a blank or filler module defining a generally planar front.
In the case of configuring the optical fiber distribution frame apparatus as a cross-connect system, two connection modules are provided, and the storage module is positioned between the two connection modules. One or more patch cords link the connection locations of the two connection modules.
The present invention also relates to a method of assembling an optical fiber distribution frame including the steps of providing a frame member, and selecting a plurality of fiber optic modules for mounting to the frame. The fiber optic modules are selected so as to fill the frame member with desired functions. Connection modules, storage modules, and blank or filler modules can be selected as desired. In the case of a cross-connect system, two connection modules are mounted to the frame member, with a storage module positioned between the two connection modules and mounted to the frame member in one embodiment. In the case of an interconnection system, a connection module is mounted to the frame member, as well as a storage module in another embodiment.
The present invention also relates to individual components comprising an optical fiber distribution frame apparatus. A frame member defines an interior, and includes an open front bounded by upper and lower module mounting brackets. The lower module mounting brackets further include a plurality of openings configured and arranged for receiving cable.
A connection module in accordance with the present invention includes a front and two mounting flanges. A rear of the module is spaced from the front. A top and bottom are positioned adjacent to the flanges, and opposed spaced apart sides define an enclosed interior for the connection module. The connection module interior houses a plurality of connection locations having exposed openings along the front. The bottom, the rear, and the opposed sides define a cable notch region wherein the cable notch region defines an opening for receiving a first cable.
A storage module in accordance with the present invention includes a front and two mounting flanges, and first and second spools in alignment extending between the two mounting flanges. Side edges of the front further include projecting cable guides. In the case of a storage module for use in an interconnect system, a cable clamp is also positioned on the front for clamping a cable.
Blank or filler modules are also provided in accordance with the invention to fill unused space of the frame member. Each blank module includes a generally planar front, and two mounting flanges. Side flanges extend in an opposite direction to the direction faced by the front.
The connection module may house within its interior a splice between the first cable entering the module through the cable notch region, and the individual cables leading to the connection locations on the front of the module or to one or more optical couplers housed within the interior of the module. Example couplers include optical splitters and wavelength division multiplexers.

Frame 22 further includes an upper module mounting bracket 66, and a lower module mounting bracket 68 extending between sides 58. Each module mounting bracket 66, 68 receives a plurality of modules 23 connected via fasteners 70, such as screws, or other fasteners. Preferably, the fasteners are releasable to enable removal of modules 23, as desired, such as for repair, or replacement. Each of the module mounting brackets 66, 68 includes a plurality of holes 67, 69 for receipt of fasteners 70.

Cable 300 entering connector module 24 at opening 112 includes its individual fibers connected to the individual connection locations 91, as desired. Two illustrated example fibers 300a, 300b of cable 300 connect to two connection locations 91. A connector 208 (
A similarly configured second connection module 24a is mounted to frame 22 to permit cross-connection through the use of patch cords 114a, 114b (
Each connection module 24, 24a can be made of sheet metal sections, held together with fasteners, such as screws, so as to allow access as desired to the interior of each module.
To facilitate cable management, and cable protection, a cross-connect storage module 26 as one of modules 23 is provided having three spools 116 along a front 120 (
Cable notch 110 is useful to avoid excess cable bending during manipulation and positioning of connection modules 24. The use of notch 110 provides a greater distance between the cables extending upward from the ground to the clamp mounting locations on modules 24. The extra distance is advantageous when manipulating module 24 as it is installed into or removed from frame 22.
In the example cross-connect system of

For a time yesterday, it appeared Keith Stokes was ready to take his flamboyant act to Toronto.
By last night, the CFL free agent's destination was back up in the air.
Sources said Stokes reached a verbal agreement on a contract with Argonauts general manager Adam Rita on Friday night but backed out of the deal yesterday.
"I'm not going to know nothing today, but it's winding down," Stokes, 27, said when reached at his home last night.
"By (tomorrow), everybody should know."
Stokes, who became a free agent on Wednesday, has fielded calls from five CFL teams. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers, who employed his services the last two seasons, are among those in pursuit of his services.
Stokes said he has also talked to the B.C. Lions and Hamilton Tiger-Cats but is believed to be waiting on an offer from the Montreal Alouettes, the team he played two seasons for before joining the Bombers.
The receiver/kick returner could still return to the Blue and Gold, who have made him a standing offer that would pay him as much as $130,000 with incentives in 2006.
"As far I understand, he's still an available free agent that we're talking to," Bombers general manager Brendan Taman said. "But he can't think that offer is going to be there forever. It's a minute-to-minute thing. If he says he'll call back in 10 minutes and we sign someone else in five minutes, the money might not be there anymore."
The Bombers are also chasing Montreal safety Richard Karikari, a non-import who was second in the league in interceptions last year, and if they sign him, there may not be money left for Stokes.
Despite playing a limited role on offence, Stokes led all Bomber receivers in receptions with 58 last year. He had 832 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He also excelled as a kick returner, ringing up 862 yards and a touchdown on 79 punt returns and 1,022 yards on 47 kickoff returns.
It would be curious for Stokes to sign with Toronto, which already employs one of the CFL's leading kick returners in Bashir Levingston.
He has a promise from Bombers offensive co-ordinator Mike Gibson that he would be a big part of the Winnipeg offence if he returns and could even see time backing up Charles Roberts at tailback.
That seems to be lost on Stokes, who told Sun Media recently: "Obviously if I just wanted to return kicks, I would have stayed in Winnipeg."
After saying that on Friday, he was singing a different tune yesterday.
"Of course, Winnipeg is still in the mix," Stokes said. "Everyone is around the same number (financially), so it's just about the best situation for me. Playing time is the thing."
Although he appears to be leaning toward signing somewhere else, Stokes gave no specific reasons why he wants to leave Winnipeg.
"(The Bombers) are going to make a drastic turnaround whether I come back or not," he said. "I know what I'm going to get if I come back there."
Stokes, who represents himself, sounds like he is getting flustered by the free agency experience.
"It's nerve-wracking," he said. "At first it was fun, but now I'm just ready for it to be over with."
AROUND THE LEAGUE: The Edmonton Eskimos acquired import DT Robert Brown and import DB Reggie Durden from the Montreal Alouettes yesterday in exchange for non-import DB Davis Sanchez ... The Lions are looking at signing P/K Paul McCallum, who has spent the last 12 seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders but is unlikely to return after being asked to take a pay cut ... The Lions remain in negotiations with free agent OL Bobby Singh.

The strike in the Sarai Darpa Khel area of the North Waziristan tribal region also wounded two suspected militants, said the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The suspected militants who were targeted were believed to be from the Afghan Haqqani network. US officials consider the Haqqani network to be one of the most dangerous militant factions fighting American troops in neighbouring Afghanistan.
US drone strikes have become a serious source of tension between Washington and Islamabad.
Elsewhere in north west Pakistan, militants attacked a police post before dawn Wednesday and killed six policemen, said a local government administrator, Habibullah Khan.
Ten policemen were wounded in the attack about 25 kilometres southeast of the city of Peshawar, said another government official, Feroz Shah. The post was staffed by both paramilitary police from the Frontier Constabulary force and also by tribal policemen.
Khan said policemen retaliated in a gun battle that lasted several hours and killed several militants.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.

REGINA -- Tim Fleiszer is trying to take the high road. After being dumped by the Edmonton Eskimos just before the start of the regular season, the veteran non-import defensive end is finally talking about the matter.
But while speculation continues to percolate that there is much more to his release than meets the eye, the Harvard product and current Saskatchewan Roughrider is too smart to sling any mud at the Eskimos organization in the hours leading to tonight's pivotal game.
"I choose to focus on the positive," said the nine-year CFLer. "I came in for a year (2005) and was able to play with some of my best friends in the world.
"I came in because of my trust and loyalty to Danny Maciocia and was able to win a Grey Cup."
When pressed on the loyalty card - considering Maciocia suddenly cut him less than 72 hours before the start of the season - Fleiszer laughed out loud, before stating: "I just want to focus on the positive."
Reading between the lines, there seems to be quite a history behind the parties. In nine years, Fleiszer has been to four Grey Cup games and can play several positions, including being a valuable member on special-teams units.
"He was a demon," admitted Eskimo A.J. Gass, who was watched his club's special teams struggle at times this season. "We miss that."
Maciocia continues to say the move was football related, with the Eskimos wanting to go with younger talent.
But the rumour mill - since the moment of the release - suggests the 31-year-old must have had a falling out with the coaching staff.
It all means Fleiszer won't need any motivation if he's placed on the Rider roster tonight, which is expected.
"It's just going to feel good to be playing football," he said.

As the summer comes to a close the first big holiday that we look forward to celebrating is Halloween. When children and adults alike get excited to transform into something or someone else for a night. I have been trying to get an idea of what I would like to become on Halloween and have not been able to make up my mind. On Sunday October 7th here in Nevada the Las Vegas Glowrun was held in downtown Las Vegas, The Glow Run is a 5k footrace sponsored by Vegas Seven and Insomniac Events that encourages bright colorful outfits, glow gear, and costumes . What a good reason to get a jump start on Halloween than to enter the costume contest. With the help of my friend and team mate Amber Sansone who named our team "Zombie Glitter Princesses" I was inspired to give my special FX art a try at a "Glitter Zombie" look.

After months of anticipation and two days of training, city parking control officers, armed with new hand-held personal computers, hit city streets Friday and found the high-tech going a bit slow.
Using the new computers, they issued only a bit more than half their normal total of parking tickets.
The computers, which are about a foot long and four inches wide, are designed to collect data on parking violators and then download that data into the city's computer system.
The city currently has a full-time employee who does nothing but enter parking data. The implementation of the new system will allow the city to transfer that person to another area, City Manager Mike Wildgen said.
Although the system is designed to make the tracking of collections easier for Municipal Court employees, it slowed down the two parking control officers who used it Friday.
"IT'S A LITTLE more time-consuming for us," said Rechelle Grimstead, a parking control officer who was at the Riverfront Plaza lot Friday. "But it'll be better for them at the front, where they enter data."
Two officers usually issue about 300 tickets a day, but Friday the two officers on duty issued only 172 tickets, Sgt. Susan Hadl of the Lawrence Police Department said.
The hand-held computers come equipped with a shoulder strap so the officers don't drop the machines, which are valued at $3,000 each, including the software, charger, cable and warranty, Wildgen said.
The officers can enter a vehicle's license plate number, the state, the expiration date of the plates, the meter number and the make and color of the vehicle.
The officer gets to double-check the information before printing it out onto what looks like an adding machine receipt, which is inserted into a parking envelope.
BY PUSHING the proper keys, the officers can call up a list of the metered streets in town. There's also a special function that allows officers to record additional information that doesn't get printed on the ticket.
The system, which was provided by Cardinal Tracking Inc., includes six hand-held computers, ticket paper, envelopes and forms, training, software and a main storage computer. The total price is about $33,000, but, for now, the city is only using the system on a 60-day trial basis.
If the city does decide to keep the system, Lawrence taxpayers should be aware that "the system pays for itself," Wildgen said.
One problem that the city may have with the system, is that the hand-held machines are designed for right-handed people.
Although Hadl didn't know if any of her officers are left-handed, she said that was something officials would look into.

The objective indicators that identify the Primal Aggressor and the Cognitive Aggressor are very different. Feedback we receive from each of our training programs indicates that today's professional security and threat assessment personnel have not had usefully training to recognize or deal with the cognitive aggressor. The Virginia Tech tragedy once again provided another data point in the body of evidence that mental health assessments or profiling are not useful in identifying the next shooter.
The training provided by the Center for Aggression Management does provide knowledge and skills necessary to recognize and appropriately manage the
emerging aggression associated with both the
Cognitive Aggressor
and the
Primal Aggressor
Both Types of Aggressors Must be Managed

About 670 trailheads, picnic sites and campgrounds run by the U.S. Forest Service across the country could close due to federal budget cuts. According to a statement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture — the Forest Service's parent agency — specific sites have not yet been selected for closure. "We do estimate, however, that there will be an across-the-board temporary closure of 670 campgrounds, trailheads and picnic sites around the country in peak use season in the spring and summer, but we are still determining which, exactly, those areas will be," the statement says. "The closing of these recreation sites would likely result in loss of the opportunity for 1.6 million visitors to national forests." The Santa Fe National Forest has 23 campgrounds, 13 picnic areas and 1,002 miles of trails, according to its website. The Department of Agriculture said funds for fighting wildfires also will decrease. "The 5.2 percent reduction caused by sequestration will reduce the agency's initial attack capability which will increase the probability of larger, costlier fires," a statement says. "The reduction of funds could result in 500 fewer firefighters and 50- 70 fewer available engines, and will impact aviation assets." The statement goes on to say that a severe fire season is expected this summer...more
"The 5.2 percent reduction caused by sequestration will reduce the
agency's initial attack capability which will increase the probability
of larger, costlier fires," a statement says.
Damn, there it is again. I tried to sort this out here on Wednesday. You recall a 1995 policy saying, "Wildland fire, as a critical natural process, must be reintroduced into the ecosystem", the 2012 Hubbard memo saying "safe aggressive initial attack is often the best suppression strategy to keep unwanted wildfires small and less costly" and the 2013 Tidwell memo which doesn't repeat the initial attack language, resulting in the Let It Burn headlines.
However, reading today's article would have one conclude it has nothing to do with "policy" or "guidance" because it is a result of the sequestration. Which is it guys?
I tried to help the Forest Service out yesterday, but this sequestration scare stuff is pure bullshit.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — NCUA Board Member Rick Metsger and three NCUA staffers spoke on rules affecting CUSOs to a packed house.
Security programs, loans in flood zones and other rules among agency's rolling review of all regulations for federal credit unions.
The three regulatory attorney new hires are in response to increased regulatory assistance demand from members, NAFCU CEO Berger says.
NCUA OIG report on $7M NCUSIF loss says regulator should ask Congress for access to independent audit reports, circumventing credit union management.
Is loan regime split dollar snake oil or liquid gold? How is a board to know? If it works, LRSD is a powerful tool for compensating key executives and preserving credit union assets. If it doesn't work, the costs to the credit union and the participating executives are high.
Four of five hit this week with agency bans stole from credit unions where they were the sole employees.
Three of four bans involved thefts that took down the small institutions.
Oklahoma, Texas credit unions taken down by internal fraud; managers banned by NCUA.
NCUA Inspector General William DeSarno told House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) in a letter that amounts paid to attorneys working under contingency contracts on securities fraud suits are reasonable and are not unnecessarily high.
NCUA inspector general responds to California congressman's concerns about legal fees for Wall Street suits over securities losses.

Red band trailer for George Romero's "Survival of the Dead", complete with intro by Georgie boy (via IGN). The film itself is not really bad in the sense of bad, but it's pretty generic and by-the-numbers for Romero, who has really pounded the zombie genre into the ground in his twilight years. I feel sorry for the bloke; on the one hand, this is his bread and butter and he deserves to reap all the rewards he can from it, but on the other hand, it's kind of sad to see a former master chase his own tail. Oh well, maybe you'll like "Survival" more than I.
Off the coast of Delaware sits the cozy Plum Island where two families are locked in a struggle for power, as it has been for generations. The O'Flynn's, headed by patriarch Patrick O'Flynn (Kenneth Welsh) approach the zombie plague with a shoot-to-kill attitude. The Muldoons, headed by Shamus Muldoon (Richard Fitzpatrick), feel that the zombies should be quarantined and kept 'alive,' in hopes that a solution will someday be found. The O'Flynn's, who are clearly outnumbered, are forced to exile Patrick by boat to the mainland, where he meets up with a cynical band of soldiers, headed by Guardsman Sarge (Alan Van Sprang). They join forces and return to the island, to find that the zombie plague has fully gripped the divided community, and the body count is rising.
Starring Devon Bostick, Kathleen Munroe, Kenneth Welsh, Athena Karkanis, Julian Richings, Alan Van Sprang, Wayne Robson, Joris Jarsky, George Stroumboulopoulos, Matt Birman, Stefano Colacitti, Heather Allin, and directed by George A. Romero.

This three-day desert tour takes you from Marrakech to Erg Chebbi and back. On the way to the Sahara, you will be able to enjoy the numerous sights of South Morocco and experience the unforgettable highlight of the trip: spending a night in the desert.
A trip to the Sahara is definitely worth to putting on your list for an amazing vacation in Morocco. The breathtaking motifs of the postcards sold in Marrakech will suddenly become reality: an endless ocean of sand, a clear horizon, and, if you're lucky, a gigantic starry sky. The absolute highlight of the three-day "Desert Safari from Marrakech to Merzouga" is the night in the desert camp. The tour described here is offered by a Moroccan travel agency via Getyourguide and is one of the most frequently booked desert tours with top reviews.
Round trip with overnight stay in the Sahara desert
The tour begins in Marrakech. There is room for a maximum of 17 participants in the air-conditioned minibus. More than 1300 kilometers will be covered in the next three days, but that sounds more stressful than it actually is. The view from the bus window is phenomenal and the landscape breathtaking. Regular stops will make the photographers happy, as well as those who need to use the rest room. The longer stops include more detailed sightseeing. And there is plenty to see, as the journey to the Sahara and back takes you to several important sights, such as the UNESCO World Heritage Site Ait Benhaddou or the Todra Gorge. As mentioned above, the number of participants per tour is limited to 17. This makes the trip very enjoyable as you don't travel anonymously but get in touch with your fellow travelers easily.

So long to Bill Martin, 'The Mailman'
I never met Bill Martin. But, because of our similar names, it seems like I always knew what he was doing.
On television, on radio, in the newspaper.
One of the most recognizable figures in Austin's gospel community, Bill "The Mailman" Martin passed away over the weekend. He was 82.
Now he was called "Mailman" for two reasons.
One, he actually was a mailman, retired from the postal service since 1992.
And, two, when it came to gospel music, whether he was playing or singing, he always delivered the goods.
Because of our similar names, there are some friends in Austin who started calling me, "Mailman" many years ago.
The real Mailman was the dean of gospel announcers after he made his radio debut in 1980. He was the founder and president of the Texas Gospel Announcers Guild.
His name is synonymous with gospel music in Austin, delivering the good news Sunday mornings from 5 to 11 a.m. on KIXLAM 960 in Austin.
According to several biographical sources, in addition to spinning inspirational records old and new, he announced upcoming concerts and special events, read prayer requests over the air and basically acts as town crier for anything church-related.
"Listening to Martin's robust, Carolina-accented voice, it's hard to believe he wound up a disc jockey out of sheer circumstance," stated the Austin Chronicle.
As part of the St. James Baptist Church congregation, it was his job to bring the pastor's sermon from the church to KIXL and introduce it on the air.
One fateful Sunday morning, the announcer abruptly quit and the station's desperate owner, asked Martin to fill in. He obliged, and everything went relatively smooth until the third week, when the man appointed to train Martin got sick and didn't show up.
The Mailman was born in Asheville, N.C. and served his country in the Air Force for four years including a tour of Korea. He was also stationed at Bergstrom Air Force base in Austin.
"Sometimes it takes people longer to find the purpose God has for their life," Martin told the Chronicle. "As I look back over my life, I feel this was the purpose God always had for me."
Again, while I never met him, I will miss seeing his name everywhere as he spread the good word in the best way possible, through his love of music.
The 5ive
Here are five religious tunes that appeared as radio hits:
1. "People Get Ready"— The Impressions, Curtis Mayfield, lead singer. "... there's a train a' coming..."
2. "I Don't Know How to Love Him"—Helen Reddy. From Jesus Christ Superstar.
3. "Turn, Turn, Turn"— The Byrds. Roger McGuinn plagiarizes the Bible (Ecclesiastes).
4. "Jesus Just Left Chicago"— A funky Jesus takes a road trip with Billy Gibbons.
5. "Dropkick Me Jesus, Through the Goalposts of Life"—Bobby Bare. Just a little humor.

Gen. Josef Haller
A key figure in World War I, Haller commanded the Second Brigade of the Polish Legion in 1916, fighting against Russia on the Eastern Front. Two years later, Haller broke through the Austro-Russian front line to Ukraine, where his troops united with Polish detachments. His troops engaged in fierce battle and were interned, but he escaped to Moscow.
In 1918, Haller landed in France, where he formed the Blue Army on behalf of the Polish National Committee. Donning blue uniforms from the French, "Haller's Army" battled the Germans. After the war, he was back in Poland on the Ukrainian front.
Haller served in the Polish parliament, the Sejm, from 1920- to 1927. At odds with the incoming president, he was forced into retirement, but by 1937 had formed an opposition Labor Party.
After time abroad, Haller returned to Poland and served as minister of education in the government of Wladyslaw Sikorski from 1940 to 1943. He died in London in 1960, at 86.

7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth." Psalm 109

The USA Under-18 Team suffered a 4-0 loss to Alaska Fairbanks on Saturday. This was after they defeated Alaska Anchorage 4-3 last Thursday. Their schedule doesn't get any easier as they face Michigan on Saturday.
A couple of college commitments from over the weekend.
Princeton received two commitments from the USHL. Eric Meland of the Lincoln Stars and Alec Rush of the Tri-City Storm committed over the weekend. Meland, a right winger had one goal in ten games last season. He didn't participate in the Fall Classic. There's no rush to bring Rush in as he will a Tiger in 2010. Last year, he played with Eden Prairie High School where he had siz goals and 14 assists. At the Fall Classic, he had no points in two games.
Boston College continues to add talent as got a verbal commitment from Cody Ferriero for the 2010 season who plays for Governor's Academy.
Taking Note has some WHL News. Will Luke Schenn be back with the Kelowna Rockets? He has had a very good pre-season so far for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He had a shootout goal last night against the St. Louis last night.
That's My Take

NEW YORK The American Pharmacist Association has given its Immunization Champion Award to a school of pharmacy in New York City.
Touro College of Pharmacy, in the Harlem neighborhood, was among more than 100 nominees competing for the ward, which receives support from Novartis Vaccines & Diagnostics. The award program will take place at the APhA's annual meeting in Washington from March 12 to 15.
"In December 2009, pharmacists in New York state were approved to provide immunizations to adults 18 and older," college dean Stuart Feldman said in a statement. "Since then, the College of Pharmacy has been meeting its community's immunization needs by working with partners to set up neighborhood vaccination sites that are accessible and where people feel comfortable visiting."
The award is meant to recognize pharmacists' contributions in improving vaccination rates. The APhA award went to Touro for its partnership with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the New York Academy of Medicine, where faculty, staff and students provided more than 2,000 influenza immunizations in the Harlem community during the last flu season. Pharmacists from the college also immunized more than 600 people during Harlem Immunization Week, which took place between Oct. 17 and 23.

Because our state is so awash in debt and unfunded public employees' pension requirements, it is imperative that we citizens pay attention to projected huge expenditures that will impact our state for years to come. Can we really afford a high-speed railroad that seems more a dream of Jerry Brown's ego than anything realistically possible in the near future?
The Delta Water Project is another extremely expensive endeavor which has serious consequences for the water quality of the Delta if not done right.
The state government seems totally committed to the BDCP's proposals. Recently I heard Dr. Robert Pyke, a consultant on geotechnical, earthquake and water resource engineering, give a speech. His Western Delta Intake Concept should be openly and honestly debated in our legislature to come up with the best method to preserve our wonderful Delta.
The WDIC would be located on Sherman Island on the south end of Sacramento County. Sherman Island is now mostly owned by the State of California. All waters (rivers, streams, island pump outs, run-off, etc.) must pass through the Delta to the WDIC site. Due to all of the water passing through the Delta, monies for Delta infrastructure will remain in the Delta. WDIC is half the distance to the state and federal pumping stations; thus a huge reduction in construction costs and mitigation costs. WDIC's permeable embankments are far more efficient and effective than other fish screen proposals, which are ineffective or unproven.
Due to all waters passing through the Delta — and the inclusion of additional storage which allows true Big-Gulp operation — southern water users would receive more water over the long haul versus BCDP's proposal. WDIC is self-regulating, meaning overpumping of water at any time will result in too much brackish (salt) water. The pumps must be turned down or shut off as a result of too much brackish water.
Please contact your Assemblyman or State Senator. Ask them to investigate this WDIC proposal before committing huge outlays for BDCP's plans, which may not be the best solution for the Delta.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:21)
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Jan 25, 2013 in Current Issues, Features
This online apologetics and discernment ministry (OADM) Apprising Ministries continues to do our part to alert you to increasing syncretism within apostatizing mainstream evangelicalism.
Following below I give you another example of how what should be important doctrinal differences are rapidly being obscured.
Consider Jesus Cultures Kim Walker-Smiths Alleged Encounter With God The Father And Jesus Christ. Kim Walker-Smith (KWS) is worship leader with, and executive team member of, Jesus Culturewhich is a ministry that extends from Bethel Church (BC) of heretical New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) pastor Bill Johnson.
In addition, KWS is/has been worship pastrix at the BC.
Once these NAR wingnuts were relegated to the hyper-charismatic shadows on the very outskirts of evangelicalism.
However, a few weeks ago Louie Giglio made the ill-fated decision to bring in BCs Jesus Culture in to minister to his Passion 268 Generation.
Evangelical luminaries John Piper and Beth Moore also shared the platform with Jesus Culture at Passion 2013 further validating this group/movement that had, until then, been pretty much under the radar within mainstream evangelicalism. Which brings us around now to NAR Apostle Cindy Jacobs.
Here she is below supposedly raising a child from the dead by commanding the spirit of death to leave the child:
As Ive said before, if your spiritual discernment is so far off that you truly cant see this woman is absolutely a false prophet, and you actually think shes speaking for God, then youd best question your own relationship to Jesus.
And yet, we find out that Cindy Jacobs is a regular speaker at Jesus Culture events.
With this in mind, below youll see Banning Liebscher from JCs Revival Chats with Jacobs, whom hell call one of our dear friends. By the way, Liebsher is:
BC pastor Liebscher also tells us below that Cindy Jacobs has become a real mom to our movement and has spoken a ton [of prophetic word] into what were doing. Its important here to note that he calls JC a movement.
Heres Liebscher and Jacobs:
This gives you another clear depiction of just how extremely off-target this Jesus Culture Movement is.
Again, keep in mind here this all is an extension of heretical Bill Johnsons BC, and together theyre so spiritually obtuse that they would, not only be promoting the work of Cindy Jacobs, but think theyre learning from this false prophet.
In closing this, for now, I point you to:

I agree with you all that the story sounds outlandish. However, lets forget about these people and just want to ask you all if you believe in miracles? Arent angels ministering agents of God? There are many stories in the bible where angels were sent to men for a specific purpose....you don't think fantastical stories like hers can happen?
To believe in God is to believe in miracles. But the charismatic movement (and a host of others) has launched an industry and epidemic of "miracles" that more often than not are ridiculous in nature and make the entire church body look like idiots and shysters out for a buck or to gain a level of fame and/or control. I no more believe that this idiot witnessed a quieting storm due to their 5 year old child than I believe that Benny Hinn is a conservative, fundamentalist, timid, quiet, shy, modest man of God.
I believe that our Lord Jesus Christ would be far more apt to respond to the plea of a 5 year old child calling in child-like faith than He would to Mr. Hinn waving his arms or whatever he does.I no more believe that this idiot witnessed a quieting storm due to their 5 year old child

I enjoyed this thread. Some of the replies made me laugh out loud.
Just to add and contribute to inform of the nonsense these people teach: Cindy Jacobs claimed she prayed over a woman with a full hysterectomy and she later got pregnant and had a child.....and Andrew Womack says he raised his son from the dead where he had been lying in a morgue for hours.....i mean with these two around there should be no sickness and disease left. How are they not travelling from hospital to hospital healing cancer patients and putting removed organs back into place? Surely there would be no need for surguries anymore with just those two at work
Someone mentioned ladies at their church like this: i attended a church with a lady who said God told her how to style her hair each morning...
Big Bunny- i had a pet rabbit when i was growing up that lived for 15 years!
wonder why GOD didn't tell Cindy Jacobs about what was going to happen in in Boston yesterday
wanna bet cindy and her profit, I mean prophet friends will find some way to exploit this
it is way over time for the christian community on both sides to denounce folks like jacobs.
keeping silent on false prophets like her is troubling

God showed Cindy Jacobs The Lords Prayer is really about 7 mountains Dominionism ?
By Marsha West on May 16, 2015 in New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)
[IMG]John Lanagan shared a video on My Word Like Fire of New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) Prophet Cindy Jacobs teaching on The Lords Prayer. Our aim at Berean Research is to warn people about dangerous movements within Christendom.
The NAR is as bad as it gets!
Be sure to download our White Paper on Dominionism/NAR.
Did you know The Lords Prayer is really about transforming nations? Did you know sin came into the world because we didnt understand our Dominionist commission? Neither did I.
So you see, this is exactly why we need the leadership (?) of New Apostolic Reformation prophets like Cindy Jacobs. Please pardon my sarcasm.
27 seconds into the video: and God showed me [The Lords Prayer] was a prayer and every part of the prayer is an element on how to reform and transform a nation.
53 seconds into the video: The Lords Prayer is the prayer of intercession that will help bring into manifestation the original Genesis Mandate to fill, subdue, multiply and have dominion in the earth.
1:24 seconds into the video: This was our commission in the Garden and it never changed and so, because we didnt understand our commission sin came into the world and it began to deteriorate the ability we had to steward the earth.
2:55 seconds into the video: So we have authority to reverse the Genesis curse of poverty and death. Not only do we have the power to do so, we have the mandate. You have to understand this.
The Lords Prayer, Matthew 6:9-13:
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also (Matthew 6:21)

DALLAS, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Dirk Nowitzki, who missed one game with a sprained ankle and was not expected to play Tuesday night, scored 34 points and pulled down 10 rebounds to pace the Dallas Mavericks to a 110-92 win over the Charlotte Hornets.
Dallas won for the fourth time in five games this season as its top three players came through.
Michael Finley added 31 points and Steve Nash had 16.
Nowitzki did not play at Memphis last Sunday after suffering the ankle sprain Friday night against Toronto.
The Mavericks hit 50 percent of their shots from the field and led by as many as 23 points in the third period.

Kelvin Sheppard insists that LSU's run defense is far better than it looked in its last game against Auburn and Cam Newton.
The Tigers' senior linebacker even sounds relieved that his chief worry this Saturday involves stopping Heisman Trophy running back Mark Ingram and emerging Alabama star Trent Richardson.
"Basically, I'm just glad we're getting back to the downhill football that I know Alabama plays," Sheppard said.
By downhill football, Sheppard means the more traditional one- and two-back formations that the Crimson Tide routinely employs before handing off to one if its super-talented and powerful running backs.
Auburn, by contrast, uses a spread offense which usually is pass-oriented, but in Auburn's case is made uniquely suited for runs because of the 6-foot-6, 250-pound Newton's ability to sprint into gaps left by defenders dropping into pass coverage.
Breaking tackle after tackle, Newton rushed for 217 yards against LSU and Auburn finished with a stunning 440 yards on the ground, including touchdown runs of 70 yards by Ontario McCalebb and 49 yards by Newton in a 24-17 win that handed LSU its first loss.
Now the No. 12 Tigers (7-1, 4-1 SEC) welcome to Tiger Stadium fifth-ranked Alabama (7-1, 4-1), which averages 187 yards on the ground and has enough balance with Greg McElroy at quarterback to make opponents wary of stacking too many defenders close to the line of scrimmage.
"Auburn, Alabama - you can't even compare the two. Totally different offense, just totally different personnel," Sheppard said.
"Obviously we're not playing against a 6-6, 250-pound quarterback that can run away from everybody in the stadium, and Auburn is a spread team. They can get five wide and still run," Sheppard said. "Alabama - there's no secret they're going to line up in the I-back and single-back and run the ball right down your throat. And if you don't control the line of scrimmage up front and make tackles, they'll do it all night long."
Before getting gashed by Auburn, LSU had no reason to question the quality of its run defense, which was allowing an average of 83.6 yards rushing through its first seven games.
"They've done real good stopping the run this year," said Ingram, who has averaged 91 yards rushing this season while sharing carries with Richardson. "They've got linebackers that run and react well. They've got d-linemen that are explosive, and they cause lots of problems with people up front."
When Alabama coaches were studying how to attack LSU's defense on the ground, they threw out much of the Auburn video and looked at previous games, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said.
"From our standpoint, we discount it because that's not really our style," Saban said. "That's not something that we would look at and say, 'Wow they'll have difficulty defending those plays against us,' because we don't really have those plays. We don't have that kind of quarterback. We don't have that kind of offense."
Ingram added that he, too, was not about to judge LSU's defense based on yardage the Tigers hemorrhaged on the ground in their last game.
"The past two years that I've played them, they've been great athletes running to the ball," Ingram said. "They're a big challenge to us. We just have to focus on our game plan. We really can't worry about what anybody else has done. We've got to focus on us."
Alabama has been known to use the Wildcat formation, and by doing so again could simulate some of the problems Auburn caused LSU. That prospect, however, doesn't seem nearly as worrying to Tigers coach Les Miles.
"Alabama has a very, very talented offense, but we understand the complexities of Alabama's offense a little bit better than Auburn's," Miles said. "We look forward to stopping tailback runs and Wildcat runs. We won't change our philosophy. ... We are not comfortable going against Alabama's I formation, but we do have pieces in place. What they do makes it a little more traditional for our linebackers and defensive linemen."

BOONEVILLE, Miss. (WCBI/NEMCC Athletics) – Two local brothers have committed to become members of the tightly knit Northeast Mississippi Community College baseball family.
Twins Josh and Luke Walden are the latest additions to the Tigers' 2014-15 recruiting class. The highly decorated duo will join the defending Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges (MACJC) North Division champions during the upcoming fall semester.
"Luke and Josh are two real fine baseball players," said Northeast head coach Kent Farris. "They're strong and athletic kids that we're looking forward to having as a part of our program."
The pair of standouts have played a significant role for Thrasher High School and coach Richie Taylor since the eighth grade when they first made the varsity roster.
In his inaugural two campaigns as a Rebel, Luke Walden held a .327 batting average with 23 RBIs and 44 runs scored. He emerged during his freshman campaign with eight doubles and a .557 on-base percentage.
Likewise, Josh Walden excelled at the plate early in his career with a combined .400 batting average in the same two-year span. He tallied an above-.500 on-base percentage both as a freshman and eighth grader with 27 RBIs.
Their magnificent numbers and aggressive play on the diamond helped the counterparts receive one of their greatest honors. Both Walden's were selected to represent Coast to Coast Baseball out of Marietta, Ohio, when its national squad played in Puerto Rico during the summer of 2011.
They were two of approximately 2,000 athletes that tried out for one of Coast to Coast's teams. The Walden's competed against top amateur competition in the greater San Juan area.
Both young men were selected to the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) Class 1A All-State team at the conclusion of their junior seasons after helping Thrasher qualify for the second round of the playoffs.
Luke Walden was voted by the state's coaches to the first-team as a utility player while Josh Walden obtained second-team recognition at pitcher.
The Walden combo is already off to a blazing start to their senior years with the Rebels. Josh Walden is currently hitting an outstanding .686 with 24 hits in 35 at bats.
He also carries an extraordinary .780 on-base percentage with 11 walks and four hit by pitches. Josh Walden has three home runs, six doubles and 13 RBIs, all team-bests in those categories, through 13 games.
The right-hander is also a threat on the mound for Thrasher. He holds a 4-1 record in five appearances during the 2014 season with 35 strikeouts and a 1.53 earned run average (ERA) in 23 innings.
"I grew up here and I've played with a bunch of the guys at Northeast," said Josh Walden. "I like the campus and all the coaches. We've always had it on our mind to come here and I'm just ready to go."
Luke Walden is not far behind his brother in each statistical category. His .400 batting average and .529 on-base percentage are each among the five best for the Rebels so far this campaign.
When not pitching, Luke Walden possesses a great arm behind the dish. Only two opposing runners have attempted to steal off of the catcher this entire season with one of them being caught by Walden.
Luke Walden holds a .983 fielding percentage with 52 putouts and has pitched a team-high 25.1 innings as well. Adversaries are hitting just .235 versus the righty so far in 2014.
"It's close to home, they have good coaches and a good facility," Luke Walden said. "They had a good baseball season last year and I'm looking forward to joining the program."
Josh and Luke Walden were three-sport athletes at Thrasher and played key roles for the football and basketball teams as well.
Josh Walden accounted for 195 tackles during his gridiron career and averaged 11.5 per contest. He added six tackles for loss and two sacks as a senior for the Rebels.
Luke Walden averaged double figures on the court at Thrasher with 11.7 points per outing. He also notched 6.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.3 steals each matchup.

consumer first legal group BE WARNED-BE INFORMED or BE SCAMMED!!! Madison, Wisconsin
Started sending documents via email. Robin Diehl, myself, and our lender had a 3 way call on Thurs. Sept 13, 2012. On this call she identified herself as an attorney. The lender asked in which state did she practice? She confidently said Wisconsin. At the commencement of the call we were informed the was on a recorded line! Friday I came home from work to her message that stated she was sorry to cancel our call but would call me on Monday Sept. 17,2012.
Monday got a call to say she was out sick. Tuesday the 18th, another call to say she was still out.
Weds. had a call from the documents department saying we were missing a few. No call from Robin.
Thursday, no call but did hear from the document department again.
Friday the 21, I called to ask a few legal questions such as Would a mortgage audit help? Could the principle be reduced? I asked to speak with Robin and was told she was no longer with the company. I was also informed she was not an attorney but a mortgage specialist. She did include that in her 1st. email to me however, she told me and my lender she was an attorney from Wisconsin. I searched the Wis. Bar Association and when I did not find her listed I was concerned.
Our 1st payment came out on the 21, which was to late to cancel it. I did call their servicer Meracord and cancelled future payments and will be filing a fraud report with my bank on Monday am.
Today, I did a google earth search on their Madison address and surprise! they are not listed with the other businesses in that building. More research and reading other complaints revealed they are actually in Delray Beach Fl. address 500 Gulfstream Blvd. So, what on earth are they trying to pull????? Nothing but a scam...please do not let them keep preying on distressed homeowners!

Janelle Monae to drop new music
"American Boy" singer Janelle Monae has been featured on a number of other people's songs as of late, but she hasn't been belting out her own music. However, it was recently announced Monae will be releasing her sophomore album, "The Electric Lady," September 10, exclusively at Target.
Monae admitted to BET that she is thrilled to be creating new music as well as offering her fans a taste of more exclusive sounds that they'll only get when they purchase the album at Target locations or online.
"I'm excited because I get the opportunity to not only pick the exclusive songs myself, but to really give my supporters and my 'Fandroids,' as I like to call them, an opportunity to hear rare musical contributions," the singer told the news source.
The British star added people can expect equally-as-talented artists like Miguel and Erykah Badu to lend their voices on the upcoming project.
According to The Los Angeles Times, Monae recently rocked the stage during the BET Awards. The singer closed the show with her song "Q.U.E.E.N." She was joined by Badu for the memorable performance.

Sure, James Cameron has been promising for months that he's definitely planning on making Avatar 2, and has even dropped hints about what he might be doing with it. But I can't be the only one who was totally skeptical that he'd ever get around to doing it. Because Cameron loves nothing more than proving people wrong, though, he has this to say to skeptics: Avatar 2 will have a release date in a few months.
Talking at a tech conference (via The Associated Press) about 3-D and all that fun stuff, he estimated that Avatar 2 would take just 3 years to make, and promised that a release date would be announced soon. A release date doesn't mean anything is guaranteed, of course, but studios generally avoid making that announcement until they know they have an actual product to present, which means that Cameron is moving forward on Avatar 2 much faster than I, at least, expected.
Of course, producer Jon Landau said less that a month ago that Cameron would be focusing on other things before tackling Avatar 2, and if that holds true, it really might be another 10 years before we return to Pandora. Hopefully that elusive release date will shed a little light on where Cameron's nonstop brain is headed next.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – After listening to a month's worth of testimony from expert witnesses hired by Apple and Samsung as well as executives from each company, a Silicon Valley jury of four men and four women were tasked with sorting out the latest legal dispute over technology between the world's two largest smartphone makers.
Apple is demanding Samsung pay it $2.2 billion after accusing the South Korean company of infringing five software patents related to smartphones. Samsung denies the claims and counters that Apple owes it a little more than $6 million for infringing two of its patents.
The jury began deliberating late Tuesday and left at 4:30 p.m. PDT without reaching a verdict. The jurors are scheduled to resume deliberations Wednesday morning in San Jose.
A lawyer for Apple on Tuesday accused Samsung of copying key features of its iPhone and iPad products and demanded $2.2 billion in damages.
An attorney for Samsung denied the allegations and argued that its Google-developed software differs from Apple's operating system.
In his closing argument, lawyer William Price referred to an email from Apple founder Steve Jobs indicating that he had ordered employees to wage a "holy war" against Google and its Android system, believing it was a rip-off of Apple's operating system.
Price said that was the sole reason Apple filed the lawsuit against Samsung.
"We don't think we owe Apple a nickel," added John Quinn, one of four Samsung lawyers involved in the company's closing argument.
Quinn also said Apple wants to monopolize the industry.
"They want to attack Google and Android by attacking the most successful Android maker," he said.
Apple lawyer Harold McElhinny told jurors that Samsung's "illegal strategy has been wildly successful" and insisted that Google had nothing to do with the case.
"Despite all the times Samsung mentioned it, you will not find a single question about Google in your jury form," McElhinny said. "Google is not a defendant in this case."
Google spokesman Matt Kallman declined comment on the proceedings.
The four men and four women on the jury began deliberating later in the day.
The case marks the latest legal fight between Samsung and Apple as each tries to dominate the $330 billion annual market for smartphones.
Samsung has captured about 31 per cent of the smartphone market while Apple retains a 15 per cent share.
A different jury in San Jose presiding over a previous trial regarding older technology ordered Samsung to pay Apple $930 million. Samsung has appealed that ruling.
Google may not be a defendant in the current trial, but evidence introduced by Apple attorneys showed the Internet search giant has agreed to reimburse Samsung if the South Korean company is ordered to pay damages on two of the five patents at issue.
In addition, Samsung lawyers called three Google engineers to the witness stand to testify.
The trial involves five Apple patents that the company accuses Samsung of using to create nine newer smartphones and a tablet. The features in question include slide-to-lock, universal searching, quick linking, background syncing and automatic word correction.
Samsung, meanwhile, has alleged that Apple infringed two of its patents related to camera use and video transmission. Samsung is seeking $6.2 million in damages.
Jobs, who died in 2011, is a Silicon Valley legend revered for launching Apple in his family's garage in 1976. The Cupertino headquarters of the tech giant is a 15-mile (25-kilometre) drive from the San Jose federal courthouse where the patent case is playing.
Prospective jurors were closely questioned before the trial about connections and views about Apple, which employs about 80,000 workers worldwide.

The number of small claims hearings has dropped by over 50pc in the last five years, with figures showing there were 29,577 hearings in 2013 compared to 53,248 in 2007.
Price rises and lengthy waiting times are the reasons why the small claims process in England and Wales is failing consumers and businesses, a network of 100 firms across the UK has warned.
From April 22 small claims court fees will almost double, a move which will inevitably discourage consumers from taking their disputes to court.
The average time taken from the consumer completing the court forms to getting a hearing took 31 weeks last year.
If a dispute is of a value of £10,000 or less, the case will be referred to a small claims court – the last option for those trying to get their money back from a landlord or builder, for example.
Citizens Advice say that the most common types of disputes in the small claims court are to do with compensation for faulty services provided, compensation for faulty goods and disputes between landlords and tenants.
John Baden-Daintree at QualitySolicitors said: "People are shunning the small claims process. It is not surprising given it usually takes well over six months to actually get a hearing.
"During that delay the dispute festers, stress levels increase and both sides become less and less willing to reach agreement."
From April 22, when fees will jump by up to 81pc, the loss of access to justice will become even worse, Mr Baden-Daintree argues.
A dispute between a builder and consumer over £6,000 of building work will cost £445 in court fees, up from £245.
"These fees and delays have an impact on both the builder and his customer. Early legal advice and mediation will usually be the best and most cost-effective solution for both sides to a dispute," Mr Baden-Daintree added.
You can find a Civil Mediation provider, by going to civilmediation.justice.gov.uk. This service usually costs between £100 and £400.

Samsung ARM Mali T-604 GPU
1 Comment
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - At the ARM Technology Conference here on Wednesday (Nov. 10) , ARM Holdings plc rolled out a new graphics processing unit (GPU).
The Mali-T604 is ARM's fourth-generation GPU. It is currently available to license by lead partners. Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., which is already a licensee of the Mali graphic processor technology, will be the first ARM partner who can gain access to the Mali-T604.
Delivering up to five times the performance improvement over current Mali graphics processors, the Mali-T604 provides graphics performance with an energy-efficient profile, said Tudor Brown, president of ARM (Cambridge, England), at the event. (See interview with ARM Consultant Graphics Architect Edvard Sorgard below).
The Mali GPU family scales ''from the smallest GPU in the world'' through scalable multicore solutions for high frame-rate HD devices, according to ARM. The Mali-T604 is the first member of a new family of GPUs based on the Midgard architecture, which is based on a common software driver.
The Mali-T604 reduces memory bandwidth consumption by up to 30 percent. It exploits ARMs Cache Coherent Interconnect (CCI-400) to deliver a memory coherent system with the recently announced Cortex-A15 MPCore. It extends API support to include full profile Khronos OpenCL and Microsoft DirectX.
Separately, ARM also introduced the CoreLink 400 series of AMBA 4 protocol-compliant system IP. The CoreLink 400 series complements the new ARM Mali-T604 and Cortex-A15 high performance processors. CoreLink 400 system IP enables designers to resolve the critical issues of coherency, virtualization, latency and power management to ensure each processor is able to share memory resources and maximize overall system performance.
It also announced the availability of the ARM Cortex-A9 processor optimization packs (POPs). POPs leverage ARM's Artisan physical IP to ''enable customers to achieve technology leading performance or power targets on their Cortex-A9 implementations in the shortest time to market,'' according to ARM. A silicon-proven POP is available now on TSMC's 40-nm G process technology. The Cortex-A9 POP on TSMC 40-nm LP process technology will be available to customers in January 2011.
ARM also announced an optimization package for the Cortex-A9 processor, targeting Samsung's 32-nm LP High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) process technology. This ARM Processor Optimization Pack (POP) provides a foundation for implementing Cortex-A9 processors in low power, mobile applications. The Processor Optimization Pack enables operation over 1-GHz, and is available for immediate licensing from ARM.
