One in a series
DAY SEVEN: Jan. 11, 2010
JERUSALEM — The formal work of the Coordination of Episcopal Conferences with the Church in the Holy Land began today. It includes Bishop William Kenney, auxiliary bishop of Birmingham, England, and coordinator of the group; Bishop Peter Burcher from the Nordic bishops' conference; Bishop Stephan Ackermann, president of the German bishops' conference; Bishop Joan-Enric Vives of Urgell (Spain and Andorra), representing the Spanish bishops' conference; Bishop Riccardo Fontana of the Italian conference; Bishop Pierre Morissette, president of the Canadian bishops' conference; and a number of staff and media people from the various conferences of bishops.
The purpose of the coordination is to encourage prayer and pilgrimages for the Holy Land as well as persuasion to bring peace to the land and to encourage projects to help in the Holy Land. (continue below)
(Editor's Note: Bishop Gerald Kicanas of Tucson, Ariz., vice president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, is on a trip to Lebanon, Israel and the Palestinian territories to attend an international meeting of bishops in support of the church in the Holy Land. He has agreed to be a guest blogger for us during the trip.)
This year's theme is focused on Jerusalem and the concerns that have arisen which affect the church and Palestinians as well as all in this holy and important city.
* * *
The program began with presentations by His Beatitude Fouad Twal, appointed the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem in 2008, and Archbishop Antonio Franco, apostolic nuncio to Israel, in order to explain the state of the situation in 2010.
Patriarch Twal spoke of the hopes and concerns of 2009. First among the hopeful moments was the visit of Pope Benedict XVI. In his parting words the Holy Father reassured the people that he had come to this land as a friend of Israelis and a friend of the Palestinians. Friends, he reminded them, enjoy being in one another's company. As a friend the pope reflected on how he is bothered by the continuing tensions. He weeps at the continued bloodshed and suffering. The pope appealed for "no more bloodshed, no more fighting, no more terrorism, no more war." We can all hope that the pope's words become realized.
The pope's visit culminated in the calling of a synod for the Middle East for which the patriarch has many hopes.
The patriarch also reflected upon the vitality of the church here in the Holy Land and the need to give Christians assurances and reasons to stay in their land.
Among the concerns he identified were the emigration of Christians, the war in Gaza, the wall and the continuing tension, the settlements, and the struggles in Jerusalem. These ongoing concerns will need continued attention and effort in 2010.
* * *
Archbishop Franco spoke of the complex and delicate negotiations happening with the Israeli government around the identification of holy places and taxation.
In identifying and agreeing upon the designation of holy places in Israel there has been much discussion. The Holy See distinguishes holy sites in Israel and those in East Jerusalem. There has been agreement on six sites in Israel that can be designated holy places, including the Basilica of the Annunciation, Tabgha, Mount of Beatitudes, Capharnaum, Tabor, and Gethsemane. There is much discussion about whether these holy places only includes the worship site or also the surrounding area. The designation of a holy place is important in terms of the government's right to use the property for whatever purpose. This negotiation continues.
The second concern is around taxation. The Fundamental Agreement, Article 10, Paragraph 2, says that "… meanwhile nothing should change." The church is asking that until a final agreement can be reached around taxation that "nothing change." The church continues its deliberations with the authorities of Israel to reach a consensus. This has not yet occurred.
* * *
Todd Deatherage, director of the Kairos Project, made a presentation to the assembly. The Kairos Project is a Washington, D.C., based project dedicated to educate faith-based leadership on the situation in the Holy Land and to engage the Christian community in efforts to realize peace.
He emphasized again the fact that this situation has regional implications and pressures. The resolution calls for an international solution.
Sixty-two years after the founding of the State of Israel and 43 years since the beginning of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, tensions still continue and even mount.
He made some painful observations. There are 4 million refugees. There have been 784 deaths to suicide bombers. It is estimated that 1,110 people in Gaza died. Thirteen people in Siderot were killed by rocket fire. Clearly many have suffered. Many human beings have died. When will we find a solution that will bring peace? The human tragedy has been immense.
While there are glimpses of hope, he suggested, it appears the situation is on a downward spiral. The settlements are making a two-state solution less possible. There are increasing settlements in East Jerusalem even with the freeze on settlements on the West Bank. There are divisions among the Palestinians (Fatah and Hamas). Gaza's situation continues to worsen. There are many reasons to be pessimistic.
He suggested that what might help would be more opportunities for Palestinians and Israelis to interact with one another. This has become almost impossible with the wall.
The international community needs to step forward. He said, "Friends don't let friends drive drunk." The international community cannot just sit back and not help these two parties to reconcile. Many efforts are already underway.
He encouraged the participants to help educate our people to the situation. There is much misunderstanding. He hopes we would encourage people to come to the Holy Land to see firsthand what is happening. It is important to help Americans understand that one can be pro-Israeli as well as pro-Palestinian as well as pro-peace.
* * *
Later in the day there was a presentation by the Coordinating Catholic Aid Organization. This included comments by representatives from Caritas, Pontifical Mission of the Catholic Near East Society, the German Association for the Holy Land, the Society of St. Yves, which provides legal aid to Palestinians, and our own Matt Davis representing Catholic Relief Services.
Much help is available but the problems are immense. Just in commenting on the protecting of the human rights of Palestinians, the Society of St. Yves deals with issues of family unification (a man from Jerusalem who marries a woman from the West Bank has to petition to have her live in Jerusalem and, if given, she cannot drive or get a job but only live in Jerusalem), housing demolition, land confiscation, and freedom-of-movement permissions.
The group mentioned that there are now 45,000 Christians in the West Bank out of a population of 1.2 million and another 3,000 Christians in Gaza. Care must be shown the Christians so these numbers do not diminish even more. They need opportunities. The occupation needs to end.
* * *
The final presentation of the day included observations by the consul generals of Germany and France. Both painted a cautious if not pessimistic assessment of the situation. This was based on the increasing settlements in East Jerusalem, the division among Palestinians, and the deepening crisis in Gaza.
Again there was a call for people to come together, for both Israelis and Palestinians to acknowledge what happened historically and to approach each other with mutual respect. Unless this can happen a resolution of the situation seems less and less likely.
I felt almost paralyzed by the complexity of the situation and the growing pessimism that anything can change. Yet as people of faith we approach our world not as naïve optimists but as people of hope that trust that our God in whom Jews, Christians, and Muslims believe can lead us to a way of peace.

UC San Diego launches Institute of Engineering in Medicine to accelerate health care tech
|(Nanowerk News) The world's top engineers, physicians and scientists are joining forces to conceptualize, develop and bring to reality the future tools and treatments of 21st century health care through UC San Diego's new Institute of Engineering in Medicine. Nanoparticle bombs to kill cancer, molecular-sized bridges to repair damaged hearts, and scarless surgery techniques are now on the frontier of medical innovations in California with the new Institute leading the way.
|"As is our tradition at UC San Diego, we are bringing together diverse fields of science to catalyze innovation in unconventional ways," said Marye Anne Fox, chancellor of UC San Diego. "The goal of this new organized research unit is to improve health care delivery through new tools, technologies and medicines."
|"This is an important step toward the integration of two academic and professional disciplines that increasingly share common goals," said Shu Chien, M.D., Ph.D., professor of bioengineering and medicine, and founding director of the Institute at UC San Diego. "The Institute has already attracted a large number of outstanding faculty from UC San Diego's Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy, and Jacobs School of Engineering who all share the objective of translating creative ideas into clinical medicine and products that will transform patient care."
|The Institute of Engineering in Medicine will intersect broad areas of research and focus on new approaches to disease identification, genomic medicine, clinical testing and monitoring, and the discovery of new drugs and therapies. The Institute aligns programs that are rated among the nation's best in U.S. News and World Report's annual "Top Graduate Schools" ranking, with the Jacobs School of Engineering ranked 11th, its bioengineering program ranked 2nd, and the School of Medicine ranked 14th among comparable graduate programs throughout the nation. UC San Diego is one of four universities in the nation with a medical school and engineering school both ranked in the top 15.
|David Brenner, M.D., vice chancellor for Health Sciences and dean of the School of Medicine at UC San Diego, sees the Institute of Engineering in Medicine as a leader in designing next-generation therapies and devices.
|"The next giant leap in patient care is going to happen through the joint efforts of engineering, medicine and pharmacy specialists, applying their expertise to expand the tool box for preventing, diagnosing and treating disease and injury," said Brenner. "Even though this formalized effort is still in its formative stage, we're already seeing exciting results from these collaborations that will have a profound impact at the patient's bedside."
|"With our top-ranked engineering and medical schools and our close ties to the region's strong life sciences and technology industries, UC San Diego is uniquely positioned to make significant contributions to the advancement of technologies to improve medicine and save lives," said Frieder Seible, dean of the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering. "The ideas and applications generated by the Institute will be aided by an entrepreneurism center that has been recognized as a national model of effectiveness, and we will strive to move medical innovations out of the university and into patient care as quickly as possible."
|The von Liebig Center for Entrepreneurism and Technology Advancement and the Office of Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property Services at UC San Diego, which have helped to spin off dozens of local biotech companies, will facilitate the process of commercializing the Institute's innovations.
|Among the examples of projects underway at UC San Diego:
|Chien said members of the new Institute are currently examining the roles of inflammation and blood flow in the progression of several diseases.
|"The Institute will further research into developing novel anti-inflammatory therapeutic approaches for cancer, cardiovascular, metabolic and neurological disorders based on controlling cellular responses to injury and disease," said Chien, director of the Whitaker Institute of Biomedical Engineering at UC San Diego. "We will also investigate therapies that promote vascular remodeling and repair, including approaches that improve or reduce blood flow, depending on what is needed to treat a disease."

The Eagles' head coaching interview process started today in Atlanta with Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan, who is the former head coach of the 49ers, and special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong, sources close to the situation confirmed.
The Birds are scheduled to interview Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy on Sunday in Denver, a source said.
Assistants from playoff teams with byes must be interviewed this week. The Eagles were scheduled to talk to Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter, as well, but he signed a contract extension and will stay in Atlanta. It is unusual for a special teams coordinator who hasn't done any other job in the NFL to get a lot of head coaching buzz, but Armstrong already has interviewed with the Bears and Chiefs. His special teams are impressive, but he also satisfies the "Rooney Rule," which stipulates teams seeking head coaches have to intrview a minority candidate.
Next week is the window for assistants from teams playing this weekend, who advance.
Oregon coach Chip Kelly is thought to be at the top of the list of candidates, possibly followed by Penn State coach Bill O'Brien. The Harrisburg Patriot-News has said the Eagles are among three teams expected to interview O'Brien, who would require a $9.4 million buyout from his Penn State contract.

POMONA >> There has been no question that the NHRA has been the most diverse racing series in North America.
Sunday's final rounds of the Auto Club Finals at Pomona Raceway at Fairplex Park proved that again. A year after Antron Brown became the first African-American to win the Mello Yellow's Top Fuel series title, the four professional division semifinals featured races involving two females and a Hispanic driver.
Brittany Force advanced to the semifinals for the first time in Top Fuel. Katie Sullivan advanced to the semis for the second time in Pro Stock Motorcycle. Cruz Pedregon, who has won the Funny Car series title twice, the last in 2008, reached the semifinals. All lost in that round.
"It show that girls are out here kicking butt," Force said. "I'm excited."
It was just as big a performance for Sullivan, who, like Force, is a rookie racer.
"That's what makes drag racing so cool," Sullivan said of two women in the semifinals. "When someone puts on a helmet, it doesn't matter what you look like; if you're a man, woman or whatever. It doesn't matter."
It was Force's best weekend of the year. She qualified eighth with her fastest time of the year, 3.784 seconds, 323.74 mph.
"It's exactly what we wanted to do," the 27-year-old from Yorba Linda said. "We wanted to come out here, our last race of the season and do the best job we've done all year. It was clearly our best time and we were able to go to the semis. Its nice knowing we'll be leaving on that note and we are proud of our entire year."
She lost to veteran Doug Kalitta in the semifinals when she smoked the tires at the race's start. It was the fourth consecutive time Kalitta had won in the matchup after Force had won in the first two head-to-head meetings.
"I wanted a good race, but I'm happy," she said. "I went to get to the semis, so I couldn't be happier. I smoked (the tires) right off. He was way out ahead of me. There was no catching him."
She defeated Spencer Massey in the opening round when she out-pedaled the third-year veteran when both lost grip on their tires midway down the track. It was the second consecutive time she had beaten him. She defeated the 31-year-old for the first time in five tries in the first round two weeks ago in Las Vegas.
She then defeated top qualifier Brandon Bernstein, who smoked his tires. Bernstein had beaten her at the Winternationals at Pomona in her first elimination race. She had knocked off the veteran for the first time in two tries in St. Louis.
Sullivan, from Corning, Calif., just south of Red Bluff, said the semifinal appearance was more than just about women advancing far in the eliminations.
"For us, a low-budget team with no money is pretty cool," the 22-year-old said. "More than anything we're having a good time and showing people that little people like us can do this, too."
Sullivan raced in only seven of the 17 events. She reached the semifinals for the first time in July at Sonoma.
On Sunday, she lost to Scotty Pollacheck by 0.055 seconds. Pollacheck beat her off the starting line by 0.039 seconds.
"Our motors; we have no new updates," she said. "We have an old bike, so that result is pretty amazing. For us, this is a big step and we're excited.
"There was not a lot of pressure. Nobody puts pressure on me. I'm here to have good time. There's always disappointment when you lose, but I'm not unhappy. Not with that (finish)."
She defeated Angie Smith in the opening round and then defeated top qualifier Hector Arana Jr. in the quarterfinals. It was her first victory over Arana this season.
"I knew we had a fast motorcycle," she said. "I knew we had a good shot. We did the best we could."
Pedregon was trying to make the finals for the 73rd time. The 2012 Auto Club Finals champion was knocked out by eventual event champion Matt Hagen. Pedregon lost a cylinder going down the track.
He finished fourth in the points, winning four events and making the finals in a fifth.
"It was a drag race," Pedregon said of his loss. "Just over the eighth-mile it put out a cylinder on the right side and I just couldn't keep up. It was a great year for the team."

Will Smith has gotten obnoxiously boring since the Fresh Prince of Bel Air flip-turned him into a beloved, international superstar. Despite becoming known almost as much for his obnoxiously over-styled fashion children as his acting, Quentin Tarantino graciously offered him a chance to expand on his increasingly narrow goody-two-shoes persona by playing the lead in Django Unchained. But Will Smith turned it down. Now, he explains to Entertainment Weekly why, and his answer tells you everything you need to know about how it comes to be that guys like him and Tom Cruise with their pick of every script in town so often end up in generic movies.
Smith tells EW that he turned down the part because his character would've been second-fiddle to the bounty hunter (played by Christoph Waltz) who teaches Django his trade . "Django wasn't the lead, so it was like, I need to be the lead. The other character was the lead!"
That's right, Will Smith thought the character who SPOILER ALERT (seriously, ignore this next part of the sentence if you haven't seen the film) dies three quarters of the way through was the lead. Did he actually read the whole script, or did he just skim his character's lines to see how important they seemed? "I dunno, Q, this lead role just doesn't seem lead-y enough, you know? I love the rags-to-riches story, but it starts off a bit unglamorous for my tastes."
This next blockquote is also a little spoilery. And a lot head-slappy.
Smith says that before he left the project, he even pleaded with Tarantino to let Django have a more central role in the story. "I was like, 'No, Quentin, please, I need to kill the bad guy!'"
But no hard feelings: Smith was a big fan of the final product. "I thought it was brilliant," he says. "Just not for me." [EW]
As in a Greek tragedy, hubris like this never goes unpunished, and now Will Smith is starring in an M. Night Shyamalan movie instead. Well played, karma, well played.

P-38 National Assn needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 61 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
The P-38 Lightning was a twin-engine WWII fighter aircraft, and the only plane which was in production from the beginning of the war until the end of it. It had many unique characteristics such as twin booms and counter-rotating props. Our website is being completely redesigned, and we now need a new header.
P-38 National Association & Museum
We are a non-profit, all volunteer organization. I will be paying for the header out of my own pocket, thus the modest prize. We will be posting design credit to the contest winner.
Our website is very dated and is being completely revamped, but we need a new design direction.
To see several versions of what a P-38 looks like, you can do a Google image search for "P-38" or "P-38 Lightning."
P-38 stats and history can be found here.
- We like the look of the plane coming at you such as this and this. This is preferable to the half-profile, side or top view, but it must show the distinct shape of the aircraft. It does not have to be coming directly at you; it can be angled to right, left, top or bottom. But heading into camera rather than any other view.
- The P-38 was in every theater of operation (Europe, Pacific, Mediterranean, China-Burma-India, etc.) so we would like the globe featured in some designs, although it is not mandatory.
- The name of the organization must be included: P-38 National Association & Museum.
- Preferred color scheme not determined, although obviously including a nice blue would be a plus. The blues on this page are nice.
- Retro design optional, but we want to look more to the future than the past.
- We do not want our current logo or colors featured in the new design.
- Do NOT use the goldenrod color (##F5CA3D) or the blue (#104f67) on our current site. We want to change entire color scheme.

The Maggody Militia: An Arly Hanks Mystery
Chief of police Arly (that's short for Ariel) Hanks makes sure there's law and order in Maggody, Arkansas (pop. 755), which isn't too difficult considering the only weapon she needs to tote around is a radar gun. Aside from Raz Buchanon's moonshine still up on Cotter's Ridge, Maggody is a peaceful little Ozarks town snuggled in the heartland of America, until a group of camouflage-clad patriots march in with maneuvers - and murder. It all begins when a pretty widow named Kayleen opens a pawnshop over the hardware store and buys an old farm out on County 102. The widow is letting a group of survivalists use her back pasture for paint-ball war games during the first weekend of hunting season when bourbon-swigging good ol' boys with deer rifles shoot at anything that moves...and that might include make-believe soldiers in fatigues. Suddenly Arly has her hands full: burglars are breaking into remote homes throughout the county; Mayor Jim Bob is a missing person, and his wife is having a hissy fit; the very pregnant Dahlia Buchanon is behaving more bizarrely than usual; and Estelle, of Estelle's Hair Fantasies, gets a surprise inheritance that has the residents of Maggody running for cover. So when a survivalist gets killed, Arly is hunting for a motive, a means, and a murderer.

Here's how you can convert a YouTube video into a GIF animation in a few simple steps. More details can be found right here after the jump.
After going through a bunch of different social networks it becomes very clear that people want to express themselves using GIF animations more than ever before. And as time is moving forward, the day and age of the simple emoticon are slowly being left behind.
YouTube has rolled out a feature / tool on its own website that lets you turn a part of the video into a GIF in a few simple clicks. The feature is not available on every video and is being rolled out as we speak, so there's a chance that your favorite cat video might not be able to receive the GIF treatment from you just yet, so hang in there.
Here's how you can use the feature.
Step 1: Open up YouTube in a Web browser, and make sure you're signed in using your Google account otherwise you won't be able to use the GIF conversion tool.
Step 2: Open up any video and click on the Share button as shown in the screenshot below.
Step 3: Now, click on the GIF tab and select your starting and ending point of the video using either the slider or simply by punching in numbers the old fashioned way. Once you're done setting it all up to your liking, simply click on the blue 'Create GIF' button.
Step 4: Once you're done, you'll be given a direct link to the GIF and an embed code. Use either one according to your liking.
We're pretty certain that this feature is going to spawn a whole new era of GIFs on the Internet, or maybe not, depending on how you look at it. But the thing is, creating and sharing GIF animations out of YouTube videos has been something which many users have been crying out for. Now that the feature is here, we're quite sure we'll be seeing a ton of spam on our social networking feeds.
If you do happen to try out this new YouTube feature, then do share your creations with us. And also be sure to leave your thoughts on the matter too!

4-H grows future scientists
4-H project work helps youth explore interests from animal science to aerospace, resulting in increased interest in science at a rate three times that of non-4-H peers. Interest in science is a predictor for young people to choose science-related careers. This interest in science, along with 4-H members' 70 percent greater likelihood to go to college than youth participating in other out-of-school programs, is helping grow future scientists. Future scientists are critical to our state, national and global economy; three-quarters of Missouri's $10.6 billion in products and services exported in 2005 were science, engineering and technology-based industries (Lerner and Lerner, Wave 6; MERIC).
By supporting University of Missouri Extension's 4-H LIFE program, children of offenders make healthier choices and get along better with others, thus saving taxpayers $56,885* per child by breaking the tough cycle of intergenerational incarceration. The 4-H LIFE Program served 326 youth and their families in 2008 for a projected savings of $18,544,510.
* Includes $16,690 in juvenile delinquency costs and $40,195 adult crime costs. Source: Small and O'Connor, 2007.

Most of our stencils do not require the use of spray adhesive. However, if you want to minimize paint seepage or are using high contrasting colors, spray adhesive is very helpful (Elmer's spray adhesive seems to be the best). Make sure you shake the can well and lightly mist (not drench) the stencil, and let it dry for a moment before positioning it on the wall. This step will prevent the adhesive residue transferring to the wall. You'll need to re-mist the stencil after a few repeats. Clean-up tip: Spray the stencil with Simple Green to help to remove adhesive residue.

Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 Leads This Week's Nintendo Downloads
Prepare your memory blocks for an assault from this week's Nintendo Download highlights!
You paid for all of that memory, so you might as well use it, right? This week's download features furious fighters, deep dungeons, cranial concentration, and small-screen soccer. It also seems like the current download offerings are continuing the trend of being 3DS-centric. It's not that we mind, since our handhelds are getting some exercise, but we wouldn't object to seeing more love for the Wii U!
This week's games are:
- Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 (Wii U) - This crossover between the hit fighting manga/anime and the Warriors video game franchise gives us a whole lot of flashy beatdowns. You, too, can be a master martial artist and turn the hordes of enemies into an impressionist painting.
- Brain Age: Concentration Training (3DS) - Brain Age seems like it's been around forever, helping us improve how we think and now it wants to help sharpen our -- uh -- what's the word ... oh, concentration! This downloadable title wants to help improve your short-term memory and ability to concentrate with just five minutes of play a day! Grab the retail copy or download it when it's released on February 10th, 2013.
- Etrian Odyssey 4: Legends of the Titan - Demo Version (3DS) - The first-person dungeon crawler is back, making its debut on the 3DS. The game is said to pack, "an enhanced graphics engine boasting polygonal enemies and new 3D special effects." It should be even more exciting to traverse the deep dungeons now that creatures will be popping out at you. Also, there are skyships! What's cooler than skyships?!
- Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 3D (3DS) - Now the game has even tighter controls, so you can make your way across the field with relative ease! We really only have one thing to say about this game that should get soccer fans excited about it: Ronaldo gives it his seal of approval.
Other downloads that are vying for your love and memory blocks are Mega Man 2 (3DS), Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 3D (3DS), Rayman 3D (3DS), and Ah! Heaven (3DS, DSi). All of these titles should keep your handheld system very happy and busy for a good while.
Let us know what you'll be making room on your SD cards for and tell us what you'd like to see as a download in the future!

Good news for Giants fans -- Eli Manning's heel is sore but should not keep him from playing in Sunday's home game versus Oakland.
We met with Manning Monday afternoon, and his foot was not wrapped and he did not limp noticeably when he walked off to the showers.
"It doesn't feel any worse today than it did yesterday," Manning told NBC New York. "I think that's a good sign and hopefully it gets better everyday."
Manning was scheduled to have an MRI later in the afternoon for precautionary reasons.
"Nothing to be worried about," he said, shrugging off the test.
The Giants' franchise quarterback was injured in the fourth quarter of yesterday's win over Kansas City, suffering what was called a bruised heel after planting his foot on the grass field and stumbling -- despite the fact no player made contact with him.
He left the game moments later -- after throwing a touchdown pass to Hakeem Nicks.
It is too early to guarantee anyone that Eli will play on Sunday, but considering how he looked today and his reputation for being a quick healer -- I would expect him to extend his streak to 76 consecutive starts.

sound inop when wake up from suspend.
I am trying to figure out this one with no luck.
After my Thinkpad T23 wakes up from suspend sound is not working when I try
to play DVD or videos from my HD.
When I reboot sound works great as long as I don't put laptop to suspend.
I was looking for a way to manually restart sound server, but I couldn't fine any info on that. Is there a way to restart it manually? Also I noticed that settings in "mixerctl" are slightly different before and after suspend example
mixrctl (outputs.master.mute=on) after suspend, but not after reboot.
I did try to change settings (outputs.master.mute=off) , but sound still inop.
I think it has to do something with sound server.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Here is dmesg file
If you're having issues with auich(4) after resume, you should file a bug report.. or at least send the question to the bugs@/misc@ mailing lists.
As for restarting the "sound server", if you're not running aucat(1) in server mode, then there is no sound server.. if the audio driver simply doesn't work after resume, no amount of user configuration will fix the problem.
This laptop is probably older than what's being currently tested these days, from the dmesg it seems you're using apm(4), consider disabling that in UKC/config(8) and seeing if acpi(4)-based suspend/resume works.
Trying a 4.8-current snapshot may also be worthwhile.
Thanks for the help. I disabled apm at boot> -c with "disable apm".
It did started with apm disabled. This time it wont suspend when lid closed running on
acpi. I also did commented out machdep.lidsuspend=1 in sysctl.conf.
Is there command for acpi to go to suspend? Fn/F4 key did not work.
I guess I just have to live with it. It is not a big deal if suspend works or not.
If I want to disable apm permanently so I don't have to do it at boot, which files I
need to modify? Here is dmesg after apm disabled
thanks again
Yeah, some Fn keys combinations are handled internally by the laptop.. others get translated into keyboard scancodes or ACPI events and require special handling, if you read the dmesg you'll see the acpithinkpad(4) driver does attach when you enable ACPI but the man page indicates it only adds support for the brightness/volume/wifi features on some laptops.
Regardless of whether the kernel apm(4)/acpi(4) drivers are being used, apm(8)/apmd(8) can be used to initiate suspend requests.
Once you've enabled apmd(8) in /etc/rc.conf.local, try running zzz or apm -S/apm -z.
As for the machdep.lidsuspend=1 method, Mark Kettenis just fixed a problem that has been effecting suspend/resume on several laptops.. it may or may not be in the latest available snapshot, so try installing one sometime soon, like if one shows up later today or on January 1st.
If you want to keep using 4.8, and already have the kernel source extracted, you can try setting the pci_dopm variable to 0 in dev/acpi/acpi.c.. it might fix that problem temporarily.
Let us know how it works out..
Note; I mentioned you can use config(8) to make changes to kernel binaries permanent, instructions have also been given on this forum hundreds of times.
I just permanently disabled apm with "config", sleek program I like it. I am new to OpenBSD and learning fast as I can.
Far as Kernel source. I have not extracted yet. I did not venture to the snapshots yet. I will play with this next few days and try pci_dopm set to 0 in dev/acpi/acpi.c and see what happen.
I did try apm -S and -z == no luck.
Thanks again for all that help.
Also latest dmesg after permanently disabling apm.
Happy New Year
Quick question,
I am ready to download sources. Should I go with AnonCVS or CVSync since I am assuming I will need -current to get latest snapshot? I don't think -stable will have the latest updates in it. Is AnonCVS -current the right tree or go with CVSync -stable?
Thanks for any info on that.
That information is in the FAQ.
With 4.8 you would use the sys/src release tarballs from a mirror.. from there you can either apply errata patches or update to the stable tree.
You can't go from release to -current using source "officially", the preferred method is to install or upgrade to a snapshot instead.
Thanks for the super fast respond. I went threw FAQ and also OpenBSD-101
I knew that I can't go from -release to -current. I am going to update regardless.
I guess my question should be where these two updates are located in -stable or -current or simply in CVS regardless.
Happy 2011
The fix I mentioned would not be in the stable tree, only -current and snapshots, the workaround by setting that variable might work on 4.8 until you ready to switch.
This is assuming the problem that was fixed recently is the same one effecting your laptop, I don't know for sure.
Finally I had the time to test latest snapshot 4.8 (i386)as Jan-5-2011 on
Thinkpad A22p
ACPI with (disable apm at boot) would suspend with Fn/F4 key, but it would
freeze on wake up...had to hard reboot. Same problem with apm enabled.
With -release I could suspend with apm enabled, but loose sound after wake up.
I am not really worry about the suspend. I can live without it, especially on older laptops like mine.
Here is dmesg after upgraded to snapshot.

SAN JOSE — The points haven't exactly come by the bushel in this series, but the Sharks' TJ Galiardi feels it's just a matter of time before he and linemates Joe Thornton and Brent Burns break out on offense against the Los Angeles Kings.
Going into Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Kings on Tuesday at HP Pavilion, Thornton has one assist on even strength and one assist on the power play, which came on Logan Couture's overtime goal in Game 3. Burns and Galiardi have been held pointless.
But the Thornton-Burns-Galiardi line controlled the puck for most of Saturday's game when they were on the ice at even strength and generated several quality chances. The pressure they applied in the Kings' defensive zone also helped to keep Mike Richards and Jeff Carter off the scoresheet for the first time in the series.
Kings goalie Jonathan Quick "has been playing great, but you look at last night we have so many where we're an inch away," Galiardi said. "Jumbo had one at the side of the net, another one on a wraparound. Usually those could have went in. … It's going to come eventually."
Thornton and Burns combined for two goals and seven assists in the four-game, first-round sweep of Vancouver, and the matchup between their line and the Richards-Carter-Dwight King line figured to be one of the more tantalizing of the second-round series. Against the St. Louis Blues, Carter had three goals and Richards and King combined for seven assists.
"They're a great line, too," Burns said. "The Richards line, (with) Carter … those two guys are great players. I feel like our line is playing some of our best hockey."
Havlat had just six shifts and was on the ice for 4 minutes, 52 seconds in the first period in Saturday's game before he left the game with a lower body injury. McLellan did not know if Havlat's latest injury was related to the one that he suffered in the first game of San Jose's opening-round series against the Canucks.
After Saturday's morning skate, Havlat informed McLellan that he was feeling well enough to play. But Havlat's injury, and one later suffered by Couture, left the Sharks with just 10 forwards for much of the second period and forced McLellan to juggle line combinations. Couture came back late in the second period.
"If you're hurt and you can't play, you can't play," McLellan said. "We can be as frustrated as we want. It was hard because we had to juggle the lineup, but we talked about the difference between injured and hurt. He's injured."
With Havlat unavailable, the Sharks might again look at inserting Tim Kennedy on the fourth line. Kennedy played in Game 2 in Los Angeles but was scratched for Game 3.

My Beloved World
Sonia Sotomayor
Knopf: 336 pp., $27.95
Some of the most revealing moments in Sonia Sotomayor's stirring new memoir, "My Beloved World," come early in the book's 300-plus pages.
The future Supreme Court justice is a mere 9 years old when her father dies in her family's apartment in a Bronx housing project. He was a broken-hearted man with an artist's soul and a weakness for Seagram's Seven that eventually killed him.
Juan Sotomayor's family is devastated by his early death. At his wake, after a night of endlessly repeated rosaries, Sonia nods off before the coffin. When she opens her eyes her relatives are arguing around her. Apparently, while she was asleep, Sonia had spoken a single Spanish word in the voice of a long departed aunt. Confórmate, she said. Accept it.
"I can't explain it," Sotomayor writes. "Nothing like that had happened to me before, and it hasn't happened to me since."
At age 9, and for much of her life, level-headed Sonia tells herself that reason can triumph over chaos and adversity. All around her adults act irrationally, slaves to their superstitions and passions. When her aunt later tries to climb into the grave with Sonia's dead father, Sonia doesn't understand: The aunt never came to visit when her father was alive.
"My Beloved World" is a record of the most difficult and improbable part of Sotomayor's long journey from the Bronx projects to a seat on the Supreme Court. It begins with her birth to two young, unsettled parents with roots in impoverished, rural Puerto Rico. And it ends 38 years later with the realization of a dream she's held since childhood: her first appointment as a judge.
While other recent memoirs by current and former justices have touched on weighty political and philosophical themes, Sotomayor avoids such terrain. A coming-of-age story, "My Beloved World" does not touch on a single day of her life as a Supreme Court justice. Instead, in her own often straightforward, occasionally soaring writing style, Sotomayor succeeds in "My Beloved World" in crafting an often old-fashioned tale of overcoming obstacles.
It's a book explicitly intended to address her newfound role as a Latina role model. From her story of family and community strength and dysfunction, a worthy Latino addition to the pantheon of mythic American civic stories emerges.
Lincoln was a log-splitter, Washington chopped down the cherry tree — and Sotomayor was a smart girl from the projects who decided in grade school that she wanted to be a judge. In "My Beloved World" we learn that Sonia, having listened to her mother and father fight almost every day of their marriage, likes the idea of sorting out conflict. Her hero is the level-headed judge on the old "Perry Mason" television show.
Her Puerto Rican-born paternal grandmother is a rare calm and steady presence for Sonia during her earliest years. Abuelita is a supplier of "unconditional love, respect and confidence." She can also out-haggle any street vendor, cook a mean sofrito, and channel the dead at séances. But abuelita is only a shadow of herself after the death of her son, Juan Luis. So is Sonia's mother.
Like so many American immigrant and migrant narratives, it's a story that returns to "a little wooden shack of a house" in the middle of crops and fields. Sonia's mother lived in such a shack, in Lajas, Puerto Rico, eventually arriving in New York after enlisting in the Women's Army Corps during
Narratives that link U.S. cities like New York to Latin America towns like Lajas are, increasingly, a defining element of the American experience — though they are still underrepresented in American letters. Sotomayor's story connects the Latino immigrant experience to hallowed American institutions of learning and jurisprudence: What she'll do with her own chunk of judicial power now that she has it, or what she thinks the law can do to improve the lives of people like her, are topics she's apparently left for another book.
In "My Beloved World" we watch Sotomayor reach for her goals with a drive that's already focused and fierce at an uncommonly young age. "This girl's ambitions, odd as they may seem, are to become an attorney and someday marry," a nun at Blessed Sacrament school writes in the school yearbook when Sonia graduates from the eighth grade.
In other words, it was "odd" for a Latina in the 1960s to dream of becoming a lawyer.
As a teenager at Cardinal Spellman High School, she reads "Lord of the Flies" and is haunted by its message: the desire to do good, and treat others with kindness can be undermined by selfishness and fear. Something similar, she can see, is happening in her corner of
In "Lord of the Flies" the boys use a conch shell as a call to an assembly where rules are made, disputes settled. "The conch … stands for order, but it holds no power in itself," Sotomayor writes. "Its only power is what they agree to honor. It is a beautiful thing, but fragile."
Sotomayor's account of her gradual, determined ascent through the American educational system is filled with incidents that will sound familiar to many Latino college graduates. When she gets a perfect score on a high school math test, she's accused of cheating. At Princeton, she endures the diatribes against affirmative action provoked by the presence of a small number of students "of color" on campus. Snarky comments about women and Latinas follow her to Yale Law School too.
Sotomayor never lets these slights go unanswered, fighting back like the tough law-geek with a chip on her shoulder that she is. "You know what I love about you, Sonia?" a fellow student at Yale says. "You argue just like a guy." Later, as a young assistant district attorney in New York, she develops a reputation for ruthlessness. Nothing can stop her — not even Type 1
In the end, Sotomayor achieves her goal, though it comes at a cost of an enduring loneliness that perhaps unwittingly colors the book's final chapters. "My Beloved World" is the record of that solitary journey, and it ends with Sotomayor donning one set of black robes, soon to be followed by others. It's an individual achievement that stands as a landmark in the much larger, collective civic awakening of the Latino U.S.

LONDON (Reuters) - Since welcoming home a British male grand slam champion is as rare as a sighting of Halley's Comet, it was little wonder Andy Murray got a standing ovation just for walking on to Wimbledon's Center Court on Monday.
The man who ended 76 years of British hurt by lifting the U.S. Open trophy last September did not disappoint on his homecoming as he began his bid to win the most famous prize in tennis with a 6-4 6-3 6-2 win over German Benjamin Becker.
The second seed's emphatic win on the opening day again raised hopes that Murray will finally pick up the baton from Fred Perry - the last home-grown men's singles champion at the spiritual home of lawn tennis with his 1936 success.
Just when it seemed Murray might end up joining a long list of brave British souls who promised much but faded away with the finishing line in sight, he proved that losing four grand slam finals would not end up being his legacy.
He collected his first gilded prize on Wimbledon's Center Court, albeit an Olympic gold medal, last August before embarking on his triumphant run at Flushing Meadows.
That run of results means expectations for a Murray triumph at Wimbledon this year are sky high and, following Monday's outing, fans were in a hurry to join the snaking queue outside the All England Club to secure a ticket for his second round match on Wednesday.
"Sorry can't stop, I have to dash for the queue," gasped a female fan who would only reveal her first name as Helen because "No one at work knows I'm going to call in sick for the next two days!"
The fans also knew Murray's chances of success had unexpectedly got even better following the demise of twice former Wimbledon champion Rafa Nadal, who had been the favorite to meet the Scot in the semis.
"This period for me is quite a stressful period. It's also a very enjoyable one," Murray, runner-up to Roger Federer last year, told reporters.
"I've always enjoyed the grasscourt season... but there is a certain stress and pressure that comes with that. You know, playing at home, it's just something you've got to deal with.
"There's always nerves at the start of a grand slam and I'm glad to get it out of the way and hopefully I can improve as it goes on."
If Monday's display was anything to go by, there is not much that Murray needs to improve on.
Only once did he fluff his lines, dropping his serve in the seventh game of the first set with a double fault that resulted in a synchronized groan from the 15,000-strong crowd.
That blunder allowed Becker to win three games on the trot to draw level at 4-4 but he simply did not possess the weapons to trouble Murray for a sustained period and relinquished the opening set after firing a backhand crosscourt wide following a lengthy rally.
With the sun playing peek-a-boo over a chilly Centre Court, Murray's progress was followed by an array of VIP guests in the Royal Box huddled under dozens of distinctive purple and green blankets.
Murray made sure he did not keep them hanging around for too long as he finished off his opponent in straight sets in under two hours to set up a meeting with Lu Yen-hsun.
As Murray celebrated becoming the most successful British man in grand slam history by chalking up his 107th win, surpassing the record he shared with Perry, it was another familiar tale of woe for the rest of the home hopes in the singles.
In the men's draw, Murray is the last British man standing just a day into the tournament after the only other local entrants, wildcards James Ward and Kyle Edmund, perished.
Anne Keothavong, Johanna Konta, Samantha Murray and Elena Baltacha completed a 100 percent failure rate among the British women in action on Monday as they all went out.
