Information about several papers discussed at the International Symposium on Physical Design held in April 2006 in San Jose, California is presented. New chip design at 65 nanometers where temperature, voltage and process variations have dramatic impact on chip timing, manufacturability and yield were offered during the symposium. It also featured several authors from the University of California in Los Angeles and International Business Machine Research who received ISPD 2006 Best Paper Award.

Openly gay marine Stephen Funk comes out as the first conscientious objector of the U.S. war with Iraq as of May 13, 2003. When his Marine reserve unit was called to active duty in February, 21-year-old Funk did not report. But on April 1, 2003 after having been AWOL for 47 days, Funk turned himself in, in San Jose, California. In his hands he carried papers declaring himself a conscientious objector of the war. In a surprising move of leniency, Funk was not arrested, though at press time the Marines were deciding to punish him. He instead must report to San Jose in California while his application is processed. If convicted as a deserter, he could face up to two years in military prison.
