Never Said a Thing- The Doctor has been very ill for weeks and hasn't said a thing, Rose fears for him and wonders why he never told her. Because hes so ill she lets him stay at her house.
The Doctor had been very ill for weeks, he hadn't said he was sick, but had been sleeping so much. He didn't want to worry Rose ,but he also was a bit confused. He almost slept a whole day the other day and now was struggling to keep his illness hidden. He really didn't look good at all, the Doctors skin had become very pale.
He got out of bed and slowly walked to grab something to eat and drink of water. He wasn't really hungry but he figured he should eat so he didn't loose energy and he needed energy to fly the TARDIS, His head was pounding and he wasn't sure he was able to focus. He finished eating before he slowly made his way to the console.
He couldn't remember a time he felt this ill. He tried to stifle a cough as he tried to fly the TARDIS.
The Doctors flying was way more unstable then normal. He had promised Rose to going home to see her mother, He grunted a few times as he thought he wasn't going to make it, he seemed feverish and sweaty.
He knew his illness wasn't going to be as easy to hide as the last few weeks . He coughed again. He lay his head on the console a few times.
"Uhh my head," He grumbled. he felt dizzy and wasn't sure he could stay standing. His voice was strained and his throat sore, he seemed to sound as sick as he felt.
The Doctor was hoping he could focus long enough to land the TARDIS. "Ohhh come on. Can do this." he was panting and muttering to himself, he didn't want to crash the TARDIS if he could help it, least of all not with Rose on board.

The Melbourne Interview: Neurosurgeon Jeffrey Rosenfeld
June 18, 2012 , 6:32 PM by Erin Mathews
Just one look at Professor Jeffrey Rosefeld's CV is overwhelming - the Alfred Hospital's Director of Neurosurgery, the head of Monash University's Department of Neurosurgery, a Major General in the ADF, doctor to household names like football legend Jim Stynes and entertainer Molly Meldrum.
What you mightn't know is that he plays clarinet in an orchestra, was the recipient of the Melbourne High School Music Prize in 1970 and still wishes his career had taken a more musical path.
Listen to Raf's chat with this remarkable Melburnian about his work, his ego and his music.

From the top side of a rock
It's been really frustrating.
About a month or so ago I attended a public meeting on a topic about which I had written several stories. I had attended other meetings, carefully gathered the facts, and then labored over a clear and easy to understand story so that you, the readers, could know what was going on. I wanted you to be almost as well-informed as if you had done the research yourself.
Well, by the end of the meeting, I felt like I had wasted my time on that story.

Performa 11
Performa, the Performance Art Biennial, has announced its full calendar of events for the duration of the biennial, November 1-21. The projects involved vary from commissioned theatrical pieces, film series, lectures, exhibitions, walking tours, and public actions. The full calendar of events can be seen here.
The relationship between visual art performance and digital culture is rich in possibilities, which Performa allows us to survey every two years. One of the most productive characteristics of the biennial is its focus on a link with the past and the consideration of contemporary activity within this prism. Thus, the 2009 edition focused on Futurism, and the 2011 one will focus on Russian Constructivism and Fluxus, its research themes deriving from this interest to span language, translation, the politics of speech, and the animation of modern sculpture. All of these provide context for the full, long, and impressive list of events that would happen as part of the biennial, as well as a rare space to consider contemporary practices in light of art history.
Below is a list of recommended Performa events. It was compiled from the calendar, keeping in mind the biennial's focus, but highlighting the prospects of interesting intersections between performance art, architecture, and digital culture. Details such as date, location, and price can be found on Performa's website.

The Piracy Project
Sissu Tarka, Pirate Affect, 2008
The Piracy Project was initiated by AND Publishing as a result of a threat to close down the Byam Shaw Library at Central Saint Martins school of art in London, where AND is located. AND's website defines the Piracy Project as "an international publishing and exhibition project exploring the philosophical, legal and practical implications of book piracy and creative modes of reproduction." What this means in practice is a series of suggestions to the way we interact with books, all of which are archived on the project's website, as well as distributed and exhibited by AND Publishing.
Could book piracy be considered a methodology? At a time when discussions about book piracy have proliferated mainly as a result of the rising popularity of e-readers (so often described as the publishing industry's saviors), the publishing industry found itself in a position similar to that of the music and film industries, both of which have been fighting piracy unsuccessfully for a long time. Still, somehow, book piracy always seemed a little different. True, it has its quirks, like illegal translations done from a language other than the original or chapters added in to an illegal version. But maybe book piracy seems different because in a way, we have all pirated books. We read PDFs that a university professor scanned from his or her private copy of a book, including their comments in the margins. We try to interpose open pages on Amazon and those on Google Books in order to get the information we are looking for. Somehow, it seems more acceptable; when a professor scans a few chapters from a private copy it is deemed "fair use," and thus not a copyright infringement, because it is done for educational reasons. But the habit ...
Performance, Public, and Online Presence: Gretta Louw's Controlling_Connectivity
An artist living in a gallery for the duration of a show is a trope of visual art performance, which left a mark in popular culture portrayals of performance art. Even though these works emphasize considerations of the gallery space, the relationship between the artist and the audience is not always the center of the piece. In the iconic I Like America and America Likes Me, Joseph Beuys was rushed from the airport to a New York gallery in an ambulance and left in an ambulance, leaving the US without having set foot on its soil. Tracy Emin lived in a locked room in a Stockholm gallery as part of Exorcism of the Last Painting I Ever Made in 1996. The audience could only see her naked figure through fish-eye lenses embedded in the walls as she spent her days painting.
In a new project launching November 2, Berlin-based artist Gretta Louw takes this relationship two steps forward, one step back. Like Beuys, she could not be seen at the gallery, but like Emin, she will be viewed through a lens. Twenty-four hours a day for the ten day duration of the show, Louw will be in constant communication with her audience via different online platforms: Skype, Facebook, Twitter, and so forth. The project, Controlling_Connectivity, is described on Art Laboratory Berlin's site,
Controlling_Connectivity uses the pervasiveness of internet-based social networking, as well as the obligation and opportunity for constant connection with these platforms as a paradigm for a severe and systematic disruption of normal, socially accepted patterns of life and interpersonal interaction during a self-documented performance. Taking to its natural extreme the notion that new technologies are increasingly dictating our social interaction, professional life, and have a far reaching effect on many other aspects of daily life, Gretta Louw ...

Corporate Video Decisions, 2011
"Corporate Video Decisions," your current exhibition at Michael Lett gallery in Auckland, includes the covers of Corporate Video Decisions, a magazine from the 1980s about the use of video technology in corporate culture, shown on flatscreen televisions, and a series of printouts of the entire content Diligent Boardbooks's website, a paperless business software company based in Christchurch, NZ and New York. I'm really fascinated by this double inversion of the way content is communicated to us: the print magazine on monitors, the website printed out. Can you talk a little bit about the exhibition and your use of inversion, as well as languages of marketing and advertisement, as an aesthetic strategy?
Yeah, I should say first that there is another layer of processing that is maybe difficult to make out in the online photos of the exhibition. The print magazine covers were actually photographed playing as jpegs on the LCD 3D-enabled televisions, then that whole image is inkjet printed on canvas, twice—like two copies of each canvas—and these are screwed together with aluminum tubing between the two canvasses in each corner, spaced to mimic the dimensions of the monitor they depict. So you have two canvasses with the same image on top of each other in place of the monitors.
To answer the question, for me, the exhibition's aim is to present two snapshots of different moments in the recent history of commercial video through looking at these quite different pieces of ephemera—a magazine and a website. The nature of video technology is such that a fast, controlled, obsolescence cycle is systemic to its existence, and materials and formats come and go very quickly. As this is the case, making an exhibition that has this fact built into the way it is presented is for me very important. That is to say, the way the content is presented should form a dynamic which helps describe the show's themes. Depicting the fickle material conditions of video via changing formats of what is regarded at a certain moment to be contemporary ephemera (magazines, websites), which are then presented through another fast shifting technology (printing), one indicates these movements in the presentation structurally.
Contrasting this ephemerality with the themes that are covered in the 80s magazine—trade fairs, gender and minority equality, economic conditions, crisis culture, generic products—(these topics clearly relate very well to our current moment also), underlines the truism that while technology might change, certain issues tend to be relevant for longer periods.
For me the exhibition's format highlights this tension between the permanent and the impermanent, between vast material change and comparatively slow shifts in life/work conditions.
On the language of advertising, one has of course this ambivalent relationship to it where one knows it's manipulative, but its efficiency is seductive and affective. One most likely follows this language's logic implicitly in one's self. That is to say this way of communicating is unavoidable and is just there. I am not sure if looking at this is really an aesthetic strategy. Even just conversing can be considered to be a commercial act, and it's not so easy to attach a value to this. It is one's life, after all...

Video Art Manual, 2011.
Your most recent work, Video Art Manual, was shot in HD, but than, in addition to the HD exhibition version, you also created a standard DVD version that was released as part of the Texte zur Kunst editions. Can you talk a little bit about this shift between technologies and its meaning?
Texte zur Kunst asked me to make a DVD edition for their magazine. It came out much better than I imagined (in terms of image quality and general quality) so I thought it's a shame to show or circulate the work only as a simple DVD and not show the full quality of the image (I shot some parts in HD and they look great). I also needed the money, so I thought I better sell videos through the galleries as HD editions separated from the Texte zur Kunst edition.
As an artist working in a time-based medium, you are quite preoccupied with he time viewers spend with your works, so much so that for your untitled piece for the 2009 Venice Biennale, you had the wall text state that the video is nine minutes long instead of sixteen. Do you think people invest more time when watching your pieces online? And how different is the experience of watching them on a computer screen as opposed to an exhibition space?
I think people invest less time watching my work online—I think it's easier to be distracted by other things when you are watching a video on the internet. It's hard for me to watch videos online without skipping forward or pressing refresh on my mailbox. I think the experience depends on the viewer. I personally feel more comfortable downloading movies and watching them at home, feature films included. The experience ...
Internet Real Estate, Art and Power: The cases of Artsy and .art
I think the meaning of this article is in the conflation of Artsy and e-flux, but nevermind that. Here's the real point: I have no actual interest in criticizing e-flux for its decision to apply to run the gTLD. I'd be happy to do that if they actually win it, and once they start charting out what they'll do with it. In the meantime, my only goal in this piece is to point to some problematics and interests in these two discussions on URLs, branding, art, and money.
About democracy and the internet community: well, first of all, I'm totally unconvinced that some weird democratic taxonomy is the best we can come up with. And in the case of e-flux, I think their time/bank project is an interesting precursor to what may happen with .art. I thought the time/bank had a great chance of being successful because e-flux had a built-in community of people who are interested in alternative economies around it. Instead it's circulating as an artwork and continuous project that is more of an experiment than a real entity. Who knows if .art (which attracted attention via that same e-flux community) won't be the same.
iSpy @ Flux Factory in April
Flux Factory is seeking proposals from game designers, technical wizards, emcees, performers, set designers, house bands, and all manner of mischief makers! We need your help to create iSpy, a live reality show meets stage show spectacle meets video game that combines game design and theater with the topsy-turvy power of networked cameras in public spaces.
The experience will revolve around players carrying networked cameras in public space, beaming images back to the gallery-turned-theater as they compete to finish absurd challenges with the audience's help (e.g.: corralling strangers to swing at pinatas, in-store scavenger hunts, and impromptu games of Balderdash on the street). The Flux theater will be rigged with cameras and surprises too, turning everyone into unwitting players.
As an interactive and theatrical game experience, this project is not limited to the gallery. The production of iSpy will be highly collaborative, with all invited creators helping to form events open to the public during the last two weekends of April 2012. We need collaborators to make mini-games, elaborate scoreboards, 70's game show-style sets, spectacular lighting design, and surprising interactions, and we need house bands, emcees, actors, technical crew, facilitators, and much more to make it happen.

Next PageAbstract: | In some bargaining situations, agreement has implications for agents beyond the parties involved, and if so, delays in reaching an agreement or failing to reach an agreement, when this would be profitable, may imply significant welfare losses. The question raised in this paper is whether the intervention of a government, who has a positive valuation of agreement and therefore offers a subsidy, will reduce such delays and inabilities to reach agreement? Based on a perfect Bayesian equilibrium in a sequential bargaining game with intervention, we show that in equilibrium intervention always reduces the ex ante equilibrium inefficiency and conditionally reduces expected delays in trade. However, for intervention in the form of a subsidy to take place, the aggregate of the seller's reservation price and the externalities must be (almost) as high as the buyer's upper valuation limit. |

Abstract: | The theme of this report is the regional socio-economic consequences of an extensive oil and gas development in the Barents Sea. The regional focus area includes Finnmark County and Murmansk Oblast. The introductory chapter explains the purpose of the study and the way the work has been done. The next two chapters provide a detailed account of the region and its basic characteristics. The general finding is that the region strongly needs a new stimulus to growth, but that it is badly prepared for receiving a coming oil and gas boom. The following chapter gives a brief overview of the oil and gas sectors in Norway and Russia and introduces the baseline scenario, which indicates the expected scale and scope of future petroleum activity in the Barents Sea. After this three scenarios are presented. They all have 2030 as their time horizon. The first scenario depicts the frontier - the Arctic vanguard – which is a flourishing region by 2030. The second scenario tells the story of the Arctic outsider; a region becoming more and more marginalized. The third scenario foresees a shifting balance, where oil and gas development mainly takes place on the Russian side of the border, leaving the whole region in the shadow of the new energy superpower. The final chapter sums up the key challenges of the region, discusses the scenarios, and highlights the basic preconditions for an extensive oil and gas development to benefit the region. |

Abstract: | Bacterial resistance against antibiotic treatment has become a major threat to public health. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have emerged as promising alternative agents for treatment of infectious diseases. This study characterizes novel synthetic peptides sequentially derived from the AMP centrocin 1, isolated from the green sea urchin, for their applicability as anti-infective agents.The microbicidal effect of centrocin 1 heavy chain (CEN1 HC-Br), its debrominated analogue (CEN1 HC), the C-terminal truncated variants of both peptides, i.e. CEN1 HC-Br (1--20) and CEN1 HC (1--20), as well as the cysteine to serine substituted equivalent CEN1 HC (Ser) was evaluated using minimal microbicidal concentration assay. The anti-inflammatory properties were assessed by measuring the inhibition of secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. All the peptides tested exhibited marked microbicidal and anti-inflammatory properties. No difference in efficacy was seen comparing CEN1 HC-Br and CEN1 HC, while the brominated variant had higher cytotoxicity. C-terminal truncation of both peptides reduced salt-tolerability of the microbicidal effect as well as anti-inflammatory actions. Also, serine substitution of cysteine residue decreased the microbicidal effect. Thus, from the peptide variants tested, CEN1 HC showed the best efficacy and safety profile. Further, CEN1 HC significantly reduced bacterial counts in two different animal models of infected wounds, while Staphylococcus aureus and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) failed to develop resistance against this peptide under continued selection pressure. In summary, CEN1 HC appears a promising new antimicrobial agent, and clinical studies are warranted to evaluate the applicability of this AMP for local treatment of infections in man. |

Abstract: | We explore a fishery targeting the mature part of a stock, while bycatching the immature part. Both targeted catch and bycatch may have positive market values. Cost of effort is supposed to be a function of the selection properties of the fishing gears. Mature fish is assumed to cannibalise on the immature part of the stock. A bioeconomic model of the problem is set up and it is shown that the model possesses a unique nontrivial stable equilibrium and moreover that both cannibalism and catch act as stabilising factors. Necessary conditions for a bioeconomic optimum are also provided. The model is applied on the Northeast Arctic cod stock where time series of stock biomasses, catches and fishing mortality rates covering the period 1946-2000 have been used to estimate the model parameter values. The economic parameters have been estimated on the basis of previous open access to the fishery, assuming bioeconomic equilibrium. It is shown that bioeconomic optimum could not be obtained at any discount rate, without reducing the rate of fishing mortality, first of all on the mature part of the cod population. |

Abstract: | This paper investigates possible biological and economic effects of using marine sanctuaries as a management tool, employing cellular automata techniques to model biological growth and area distribution, assuming open access to the fish stock resources outside the protected area. The cellular automata model incorporates a fish harvest model based on standard assumptions. In agreement with previous studies this study confirms that large protected areas are necessary for significant impact on stock conservation, given standard assumptions. The conclusion may however not be equally unambiguous when employing more realistic scenarios, assuming non-uniform distribution of biomass and fishing effort. This study shows that significant stock conserving effects could be obtained even when less that 10% of the total distribution area of the stock is protected from fishing activities. |

Abstract: | Regional analyses of possible physical and biological effects of global warming in the Barents Sea area have been carried out recently. Based on such studies possible economic impacts of global warming on the Barents Sea fisheries have been quantified, assuming different types of management regimes. The EconSimp2000 model, consisting of the ecosystem model AggMult and the fleet model EconMult have been parameterized based on fleet and catch records from the Norwegian Barents Sea fisheries. The model has been used to study biological and economic impacts of different environmental scenarios representing possible consequences of global warming. The current environmental situation, including normal seasonal and other variations, has been used as a reference scenario. Several biological and economic indicators have been defined in order to evaluate the simulation results of different environmental scenarios and different types of management regimes. The findings support earlier studies where biological and economic impacts of changes in management regime is found to be more pronounced than impacts caused by effects of global warming. |

Abstract: | The relationship between annual growth in the catches of fishing nations and the quality of the institutions of those nations is analyzed. Catch volumes are used as a proxy for development, since economic performance indicators based on a common set of definitions do not exist. 49 major fishing nations were selected for this study, including 22 OECD countries and several developing countries. Three general good governance indices, for government-efficiency (World Bank), corruption (Transparency International) and competitiveness (World Economic Forum) and one fishery specific FAO Code of Conduct compliance index were used. The correlation between fisheries' performance and the indices proved to be spurious, but OECD members achieved a statistically significant negative growth in catches between 1987 and 2007. The countries are divided into five groups, including 'Winners' and 'Losers', with reference to catch growth rates over two decades. Most of the OECD countries fell into the category 'Losers', whereas "Winners" includes many developing countries with lower quality institutions. Some countries had experienced an amazing growth in catches, while others had experienced a decline. The future prospects for both categories are discussed. |

Abstract: | This paper discusses actual and possible achievements and failures of Codland and examines it from the point of view of efficiency and in terms of distribution. It is argued in favour of the joint analysis of the two approaches when contemplating fisheries management reforms, since such reforms may create both winners and losers. The analysis demonstrates how rent drain from fishing communities and countries may occur despite significant resource rent creation. The change of the Codland economy is illustrated and compared to that of actual countries and to resource economic theory. It is concluded that if distributional and equity objectives matter, other instruments than ITQs, such as conditional tradable fish quotas and vessel licenses, resource taxes, co-management, public ownership, auctions, leases, time limited rights, time and area regulations, territorial user rights (TURFs) and marine protected areas (MPAs), should also be used. |

Abstract: | This paper reviews the bioeconomic literature on habitat-fisheries connections. Many such connections have been explored in the bioeconomic literature; however, missing from the literature is an analysis merging the potential influences of habitat on both fish stocks and fisheries into one general, overarching theoretical model. We attempt to clarify the nature of linkages between the function of habitats and the economic activities they support.More specifically, we identify theoretically the ways that habitat may enter the standard Gordon-Schaefer model, and nest these interactions in the general model. Habitat influences are defined as either biophysical or bioeconomic. Biophysical effects relate to the functional role of habitat in the growth of the fish stock and may be either essential or facultative to the species. Bioeconomic interactions relate to the effect of habitat on fisheries and can be shown through either the harvest function or the profit function. We review how habitat loss can affect stock, effort, and harvest under open access and maximum economic yield managed fisheries. |

Abstract: | Despite the growing scientific literature on cold-water corals (CWC) there appears to be no studies that address the economic values or economic management of the resource. This paper presents an overview of the goods and services of CWC and their associated biodiversity. Use and non-use values associated with CWC are presented, and the methods relevant for assessing their valuation are discussed. The impact of human induced disturbance on CWC is reviewed, in order to indicate how knowledge of CWC values can be used by policy makers in the management of CWC as a habitat and vehicle for biodiversity. |

Abstract: | Implementation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) has always a step-zero, i.e., an initial phase when the idea is incepted, communicated and negotiated among stakeholders. What happens during this phase is likely to have an impact later on. If not done right, the management of the MPA may encounter problems at later stage that will be difficult to correct. Inspired by this working theory, this article describes the effort to establish the Pearl Cays off the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua as a protected area. This case-study illustrates the critical actions to be taken during step-zero, i.e., what needs to be considered and done before an MPA is formally declared. The area investigated consists of a number of small islands (cays) and coral reefs, fishing grounds and marine turtle nesting areas. Throughout history, the cays have played an important role in sustaining livelihoods of nearby communities. Although the idea of an MPA was originally conservation, the communities saw it as an opportunity to regain ownership and control of the cays. By Nicaraguan law, in order to establish protected areas, consultation and approval from local people is required. In the case of the Pearl Cays, this has proved difficult. The article demonstrates how MPA initiatives must sometimes relate to already ongoing complex social processes in the area where they are to be instigated. |

Abstract: | The majority of trawl selectivity studies for the three redfish species of particular commercial importance in North Atlantic fisheries: Sebastes marinus, Sebastes mentella and Sebastes fasciatus, are based on data collected from diamond mesh codends with mesh sizes ranging from 88 mm to 147 mm. We demonstrate how results from these studies can be understood by morphological characteristics of the species. We predict codend size selection based on morphological data collected from golden redfish (S. marinus) individuals. Further, consistent with previously reported morphological similarities between the three redfish species, we show the predictions for S. marinus may successfully be extrapolated to understand experimental codend size selectivity results reported for S. mentella and S. fasciatus. In addition to the comparison with previously reported data, we present new experimental results for a codend applied in Northeast Atlantic redfish trawl fishery. |

Abstract: | The waters surrounding the Nordic countries are rich in fish resources. Up to this date fisheries has been among the most important productive sectors in the Nordic economies, and in the Faroe Islands and Greenland it is by far the most important sector. Management of marine fisheries has over time had various objectives in the Nordic countries, ranging from fiscal and social purposes to stock conservation and socio-economic well-being in recent years. There are strong similarities between the Nordic countries, but differences in ecosystem and the socio-cultural settings of the fisheries have lead to differentiated management systems anyhow. The purpose of this note is to bring Nordic experience into the discussion of the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy. The discussion takes as its point of departure the so-called Green Paper in which the Commission has summarised the status of the EU fisheries and also put themes and questions up for discussion. The themes and cases of this note address issues which feature prominently in the Green Paper: reduction of over-capacity by establishing rights-based management systems, increase of the responsibility of the industry through development of co-management arrangements, and reduction of the discard of fish. |

Abstract: | Fisketurismen – nye aktører i kystsamfunn? Hvert år deltar flere tusen fiskere i vårtorskefisket utenfor Lofoten og Vesterålen. Når skreien kommer inn til kysten i januar/februar for å gyte, starter det årlige eventyret som kalles Lofotfisket. Fiskerne tar i løpet av noen måneder opp rundt 40 000 tonn fisk. Men det er ikke bare yrkesfiskerne som strømmer til området under sesongen. Også turistene har for lengst fått øynene opp for eventyret, og reiselivsnæringa har travle dager i denne perioden. Ei ny næring kalt fisketurisme1 har hatt en sterk vekst langs norskekysten i de siste 10–15 år. I 2006 ble det anslått at det var mer enn 1000 bedrifter som tilbydde fiske til turister, og 70 prosent av disse bedriftene er etablert i perioden 1990–2000 (Borch, 2006). Reiselivsnæringas egne beregninger hevder at verdien av den i hovedsak utenlandske fisketurismen i sjøen i Norge i dag langt overstiger verdien av Lofotfisket, og ga mer enn 3 mrd. kroner i total omsetning i 2005 (Nordlys, 27. juli 2005). |

Gumstix GPIOLast Updated on Friday, 24 August 2012 16:40 How to use GPIO with Gumstix Overo. Kernel GPIOHere is a small project that demonstrates some gpio access within a kernel module - overo-irqlat. The motivation for the project was to measure the latency in the gpio sub-system of a Linux OMAP3 kernel. There are two tests in the code.
Both tests require an oscilloscope to monitor the timings, but you can just look at the code to get an example of how to use gpio in your own module. If you have an oscope, you might want to go ahead and do the measurements yourself. The README for the project explains where to measure. Another good place to look for gpio code is in the Overo board file arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-overo.c Userland GPIOYou can control GPIO pins from userspace like so root@overo# echo 146 > /sys/class/gpio/export If you have an expansion card with a 40 pin header, then this will be controlling pin 27. You can use pin 1 for a ground. Schematics and pin-outs for the Gumstix expansion boards can be found here. Now for some details. See the kernel docs gpio.txt for an overview of gpio and the userspace sysfs interface. The "Sysfs Interface for Userspace (OPTIONAL)" section near the end discusses the userspace implementation. See the OMAP35X Technical Reference Manual Section 7.6.3 PADCONFS Register Description and Table 7.5 Core Control Module PadConf Register Field in Section 184.108.40.206 Pad Multiplexing Register Fields for identifying the possible MUX configuration for each GPIO. Then see the U-Boot source code, board/overo/overo.h for how the pins on the Overo are actually being muxed. See include/asm-arm/arch-omap3/mux.h in the U-Boot tree for the definitions used in overo.h. The pins in mux mode M4 are already configured for GPIO. Currently most of the GPIO multiplexing for the Overo's is being done by the bootloader U-Boot, so the conventional way to modify the pin muxing is to edit board/overo/overo.h in the U-Boot source and rebuild it. I have some instructions for that here - Gumstix U-Boot development. You can also change the pin mux configuration from within Linux. One simple approach is to do it from userspace accessing /dev/mem. A program devmem2 is part of the omap3-console-image and will work. See the examples below. If you are writing your own kernel module, you can also read/write the PADCONF registers the way you normally would after an ioremap. Third, there is a mux framework in the kernel now that gives you some additional utility functions to change the pin muxing during initialization. There are some examples in the latest overo board file arch/arm/mach-omap2/ board-overo.c. Search for omap_mux_init_signal(). I believe you can only use this framework during initialization so it wouldn't work for an external loadable module. I'm not sure about this and need to check. Just because pins are configured as GPIO in u-boot, doesn't necessarily mean you can use them. If you look at /sys/class/gpio on a default Overo, you'll get something like this. root@overo:~# ls /sys/class/gpio The reason you see some GPIO already exported is because the linux code in arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-overo.c is explicitly exporting these pins for another use. Whether the pins are required depends on the expansion board you are using. The kernel also uses pins configured as GPIO that it doesn't export. These depend on the kernel drivers included which is specified in the kernel configuration. To be more explicit, look inside board-overo.c, you'll see these definitions #define OVERO_GPIO_BT_XGATE 15 Follow their usage inside the file and you will be able to explain the /sys/class/gpio output you see above. Any of the pins may have been configured as input-only or output-only when they were mux'd or when they were explicitly exported by the kernel. In those cases you won't be able to change the direction from userspace. Remember, the logic is 1.8v. Here's a few GPIO on the expansion header you can use immediately from userspace without any u-boot or kernel changes. Pin 4 - gpio114 Pin 19 - gpio170 Pin 27 - gpio146 Pin 28 - gpio145 There are some addition GPIO exposed on the Gumstix LCD capable expansion boards. For kernels prior to 2.6.36 or if you disable the 'leds-gpio' or 'gpio-keys' platform drivers in your kernel, you can use these pins in the following fashion. LED D2 - gpio21 Switch - gpio14 For kernels 2.6.36 and greater, there are additional drivers controlling the LED and button pins. Instructions for their use can be found here Button and LED control on Gumstix LCD boards. If you aren't using SPI bus 1, then are 5 SPI pins on the 40-pin expansion header that you could re-purpose for GPIO. The SPI bus is used by the touchscreen controller, but if you aren't using a touchscreen then these pins are available. Pin 3 - gpio171(spi1_clk) The first step is to find the appropriate PADCONF register address for each gpio from Table 7.5 of the TRM. Pay attention to whether it is the low or high order 16 bits for each gpio. You should find these values. gpio171 : 0x4800 21C8 Using devmem2, here is how you could read the current PADCONF value for what could be gpio171 root@overo# devmem2 0x480021c8 h Which corresponds to a mux value of (IEN | PTD | DIS | M0) using the U-Boot mux.h definitions. Mux mode 0 for this pin is the spi1_clk configuration found by looking in Table 7.5 of the TRM. To reconfigure pin 3 to be gpio171, as input or output with inputs pulled low, write 0x010C to the controlling PADCONF register. This would correspond to (IEN | PTD | EN | M4). The bit fields are defined in the TRM Section 7.6.3. root@overo# devmem2 0x480021c8 h 0x10c Now you can export and configure this gpio171 from userspace like the example with gpio146 at the beginning. If you want this multiplexing to be permanent, then you would modify the U-Boot file board/overo/overo.h and rebuild U-Boot. If you are using OE, then you'll want to generate a patch file to be used in the u-boot-omap3 recipe. Instructions for doing that are here. More LinksThe Beagleboard guide to OMAP3 pin muxing - BeagleBoardPinMux I wrote a small kernel module to probe the PADCONF registers of a running system. It's just for debugging but it will show you the pin mux state of any gpio pin you pass it. The project is here on github - omap3-mux. |

Will TED 2009 heal the Davos depression?
These days, conferences are thankful for not having the word "economic" in their names. Yet the difference between the World Economic Forum in Davos, which, according to most accounts, was a pretty somber affair ("how did we get into this mess?"), and the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference in Long Beach, Calif., is not just a semantic one.
While both venues summon an elite group of thinkers and doers, TED is decidedly more optimistic. "The Great Unveiling" is this year's theme, and so far, the program has lived up to its promise: Bill Gates unleashed mosquitoes, … Read more

Manchester aldermen budget $900K for CIP repairs
The budget was passed Tuesday without discussion at a special meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. The only vote against the budget came from Ward 10 Alderman Phil Greazzo.
The budget was revised in recent weeks due to a larger allocation of federal funds, which comprise much of the CIP budget. Factoring in federal, state and bond money, the CIP budget totals $8.5 million.
The CIP budget is the last of the three budgets to be approved for the 2014 fiscal year, which begins July 1. The aldermen approved a $156.7 million school budget and a $140.1 million city budget last week.
Upcoming Events
- With non-critical federal services shutting down and no budget deal in sight, whom do you blame for the impasse?
- Republicans
- 29%
- Democrats
- 33%
- Both are to blame
- 38%
- Total Votes: 2194

Police: Intruder curses and flees after hearing resident call 911
A home invasion suspect was still inside an Ypsilanti Township woman's home when she called police early Sunday morning.
She even heard the suspect mutter "Oh" and an expletive before disappearing, police said.
Deputies from the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office were called to the home in the 80 block of South Hewitt Road for a home invasion in progress at 1:55 a.m.
"She was basically asleep and heard some pounding," said Sgt. Geoff Fox of the sheriff's office.
When she called 911, she heard the suspect curse from inside the house. She didn't hear anything else after that, but did discover the front door had been kicked in. Nothing was taken, police said.
There are no suspects at this time.
If you have information on any of this incident, please contact Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at 1-800-SPEAKUP or the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office confidential tip line number at 734-973-7711.

The term ''drunk'' should be redefined and ''vindictive'' police should be stripped of powers to fine pubs and clubs under law changes proposed by NSW's powerful hotel lobby.
The Australian Hotels Association says the current definition of ''intoxicated'' - used to decide who should be refused service or thrown out of a venue - is too subjective and could be interpreted as anything from exuberant behaviour to ''being stupefied''.
Gordian Fulde laments alcohol violence
Director of the Emergency Department at St Vincent's Hospital, Gordian Fulde is sick of treating patients with alcohol related injuries.
PT2M24S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2t7mi 620 349 September 5, 2013- Autoplay OnOff

It should be replaced by the narrower term ''unduly intoxicated'', which would target the excessively drunk such as those who are ''swaying, asleep, aggressive [or] belligerent'', the association says.
It forms part of a submission to a state government review of liquor laws. The government is under pressure to address alcohol-related violence following a string of incidents such as the death of teenager Thomas Kelly who was king hit during a night out with friends in Kings Cross last year. The man who fatally punched Mr Kelly, Kieran Loveridge, will reappear in the Supreme Court on Friday.
The hotels association claims ''punitive, and in some cases vindictive'' police are misusing resources by inspecting premises when they should be cracking down on alcohol-related violence.
Feeling tipsy? The state's hoteliers want to change the definition of what it means to be drunk.
It said police were ''distracting and frustrating'' staff by conducting audits during busy periods, and that compliance should be the sole responsibility of the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing.
The association was backed by the Star Casino, whose operator Echo Entertainment said people who become so drunk they need an ambulance should be fined at least $2000.
The government is due to report to Parliament on the review by mid-December.
Illustration: Cathy Wilcox
A NSW Police spokesman declined to comment on the claims against police. However, Police Association of NSW president Scott Weber described them as ''ludicrous''.
''What police officers do is enforce the law, to the letter of the law. It is extremely important that police officers still have this power,'' he said.
The police association called for a 1am lockout and 3am closing time for every hotel in the state, unless earlier times have already been imposed.
It says the sale of shots, mixed drinks with more than 30 millilitres of alcohol and ready mixed drinks stronger than 5 per cent alcohol by volume, should be prohibited after 10pm.
The City of Sydney wants liquor licenses reviewed every three years, rather than issued in perpetuity.
It said ''saturation zone'' powers should be established so councils can declare areas with a high number of licensed premises off-limits to new venues.
The council also called for the small bar license system to be streamlined and the maximum patron limit doubled to 120 people.
Doctors confronted by horrific injuries call for tighter licensing laws
Revellers turning up at hospitals drunk and injured, "their noses spread over their faces" and surgeons prising open bloated eyelids to check if the eyeball is still intact, are just some of the gruesome injuries that routinely confront NSW doctors.
The medical fraternity has called for tighter liquor licensing laws and says the present regime fails to prevent devastating alcohol-related harm.
In a submission by the Australian Medical Association NSW, Nepean Hospitalsurgeon Peter Aquilina said he was "desensitised" to such injuries to the point he can "no longer register" how horrific they are.
He wrote of a patient "with his jaw in so many pieces, he can't close his mouth and continually drools blood and spit'' onto the hospital floor and also detailed "the young woman with no front teeth after they were destroyed by a punch".
President of the association's NSW branch, Westmead Hospital neurosurgeon Brian Owler, described the "sickeningly loud crack" when a person is punched and their skull hits the pavement. "The brain is squashed against the skull and rebounds… if the patient survives, brain damage is common," he said.
The association called for reduced trading hours for licensed premises and said all 24-hour licences should be phased out.

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours
Thanksgiving is a time when families across America come together to give thanks for all of the blessings in our lives. Terry and I would like to take this chance to reflect on all the things we have to be thankful for as a family and as Iowans.
We have so many things to be thankful for here in Iowa. We live in a country where we are free to speak our minds and practice our religion as we see fit. We also live in a country of opportunities, where anyone can succeed with hard work and dedication.
This family holiday always reminds us of those who have served in our armed forces, particularly those who are currently serving overseas. Many of our servicemembers and their families will spend the holidays apart.

Celebration of the International Day for the Protection of Ozone Layer, 16 September 2011, Istanbul
With reference to the date for the opening to signature of the Montreal Protocol on the Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, 16 September 1987, all countries of the world celebrate the "International Day for the Protection of Ozone Layer" with various activities on awareness raising activities on the impelentation of the Protocol and protection of ozone layer. These activities, organised within the main theme announced by the Protocol Secreteriat (UNEP), organised with the theme "HCFC phase-out: a unique opportunity" for the year 2011.
Within this context, "HCFC Phase-out Management Plan - RAC Sector Workshop" organized in Istanbul, on 16 September 2011, as a part of the Montreal Protocol National Programme activities, implemented by United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) under the coordination of T.R. Ministry of Environment and Urbanisation General Directorate of Environmental Managemenr (Department of Climate Change, Ozone Layer Protection Division) designated as the National Ozone Unit.
Expert Group Meeting on Corporate Social Responsibility and Private Standards, 30 March 2011, Istanbul
A Joint Technical Assistance Programme was developed by UNDP, UNIDO and ILO within the support of the UNDP-Spanish MDG Achievement Fund. This 3-year joint programme (JP) aims to enhance the international competitiveness of SMEs in the textile and clothing sector of Turkey, especially those located in poor and vulnerable regions (with a focus on Malatya, Kahramanmaraş, Adıyaman and Gaziantep), in order to integrate them into the domestic, regional and global value chains.
Within the framework of this JP, which is strongly supported by the "General Secretariat of the Istanbul Textile and Apparel Exporters' Associations" (İTKİB), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is in charge of carrying out activities that will help local SMEs in the textile sector to integrate social and environmental standards and principles into their business processes and operating practices.
One of the first steps in this process marks the organization of an Expert Group Meeting (EGM) that will bring together multinational firms sourcing from Turkey as well as large national textile companies and representatives of the local private sector, took place in the premises of the Beneficiary ITKIB on the 30th March 2011 with the wide participation of the desired representatives of the value chain.

I ask because a friend of mine recently met a Portuguese-speaker who told him: "We learn English just so we don't have to speak Spanish to foreigners." Is this pretty accurate, or is Spanish sufficient?
Both languages are similar. You could speak Spanish in Brazil, Brazilian people will make their best to understand and communicate with you. Maybe this is not the same in Portugal, because of attitude and pronounciation: in fact, it's not so easy to understand Portuguese people speech to me (I'm Argentinien).
I have learned that Portuguese speaking countires do not want to be spoken to in Spanish. They will understand Spanish, but may ignore you. In Portugal, while they share the same geogaphic area, they would prefer to be asked in English if they are younger Portuguese who may know English. Brazilian Portuguese is different than European Portuguese. So the bottom line is that even Brazilian's prefer you try Portuguese and then English. Yes, the understand Spanish, but it's a matter of pride.
Great question as it's more to do with nationalism than true understanding.
All questions have been asked and answered in English, so I would say you're fairly proficient and as a result you should be well placed to communicate if you have limited Portugese, and only use Spanish if you really can't be understood.
As a mater of interest my Portugese is understood by people who speak the Pavian Dialect in italy?
Thank you, all, for your answers. I think the consensus is that Portuguese, then English, then Spanish is the preferred form of communication in Brazil. I'll try to pick up some Portuguese before I go : )
During my brief time in Brasil, because I don't speak more than a few words of Portuguese, I tried Spanish (before English). I think many folks in Rio and Sao Paulo knew what I was talking about, but they answered in Portuguese (what a shock), so…hand gestures it is.

Padraig Harrington fears Tiger Woods in Ryder Cup

Tiger Woods will bust a gut at this year's Ryder Cup to prove he can still compete with the best says Irish star Padraig Harrington.
"The Ryder Cup could be the pinnacle of his year, like it could be for me," said Harrington of his fellow wild card pick.
"He will be in a fighting mood for the week, in a mood to perform."
"At the last one in 2008, I was a bit burned out. But going into this one Tiger's not going to be that way and I'm not going to be that way," said Harrington in a conference call with reporters.
"He's not coming into this Ryder Cup having achieved a lot of his goals this year and he's probably thinking, 'I want to play well to make it a successful year.'"
Asked if he would have picked Woods, the Irishman replied, "Yes, 100%, absolutely. He is the number one golfer in the world and he's been showing good form of late.
"He has a presence and intimidation factor. Matchplay will suit him.
"I think he's going to be strong enough to stand up on the tee box against anybody. Certainly no bookmaker will make him a longshot in his singles match."
"In previous Ryder Cups, Tiger has struggled with the structure of the event," said Harrington
"Playing a practice round at 11 o'clock in the morning, I don't think he's ever done that in his life. Normally he's out at 6 o'clock and by 11 he's out of there and off the golf course.
"There are a lot of things at a Ryder Cup that don't fit into Tiger's normal schedule. But having got a pick this year he might feel a bit like me and turn round and say, 'What do you need me to do?' ... and be much more focused on the team."
Harrington said he was delighted to get a pace as a captain's pick and realizes how close he came to being left out.
"I regret my schedule big time," he said. "I focused on the world rankings, assuming I was going to have a bumper year.
"My schedule was poor. If you want to make the team you need to play more. Next time round I'll be looking at making the top nine money winners."
"When you go in as a pick you have got more to prove and in many ways you are trying to justify it," he said. "I definitely feel under more pressure."
"Last time I had won a couple of majors ... and I really struggled to get back up for the Ryder Cup.
"It's the opposite this year. I'm hoping to be at my peak."

Padraig should dun the bheil and not continue being
a goof baller. He needs to focus on being the man
instead of the player I can't stand watchung.

I like Padraig, he is honest about his abilities and humble too, a good combination. He is definitely a contender & a rising star, but his assessment of Tiger Woods is right on he money. Tiger is getting his troubles behind him and if he can get his head back in the game, there is no one as deadly as him on the fairways and greens.

So far Apup has been working pretty good since I started with a fresh install of the Augest core AP. Apup sometimes hangs after it dl's Apupengine script. I restart and do not select the AP Engine update and proceeds to XP English. Sometimes it will hang after completeing one of the file downloads. Here is where the log file ends:
Finished adding downloads. Process queue.
Download queue status: 21 files waiting.
OfficeAccounting2007SP1-KB932726-FullFile-ENU.exe: DISCONNECTED!!!
Download queue status: 20 files waiting.

office2007-kb934062-fullfile-x86-glb.exe: Download complete.
Download queue status: 18 files waiting.
I restart Apup, check the required updates and Apup picks up where it left off. I've had to restart several times to get all of the files downloaded. I don't know if the disconnection is on my end or M$.
Why am I seeing a combination of glb.exe and ENU.exe files being downloaded from the office 2007 english script?
All in all Apup is really coming along great.
Good job!

@ MoeMan: When I first began working on Office '07, I came to the conclusion that Microsoft will typically release all critical updates for Office '07 as a GLB release. All other "recommended updates" that aren't deployed to Window Update I've noticed are language specific. This is why you notice ENU updates with this release.
Posted 28 November 2007 - 08:55 PM
MoeMan, in case you didn't know, GLB means a global release, and ENU means an English-only release.
