Siemens Digital Industries Software Graphcore leverages Mentor DFT solutions to speed time to market for innovative AI acceleration chip
Siemens Digital Industries Software Graphcore leverages Mentor DFT solutions to speed time to market for innovative AI acceleration chip
Mentor, a Siemens business, today announced that artificial intelligence (AI) semiconductor innovator Graphcore (Bristol, U.K.) successfully met its silicon test requirements and achieved rapid test bring-up on its Colossus Intelligence Processing Unit (IPU) by using Mentor's Tessent™ product family.
Graphcore's recently announced Colossus IPU targets machine intelligence training and inference in datacenters. The first-of-its-kind device lowers the cost of accelerating AI applications in cloud and enterprise datacenters, while increasing the performance of both training and inference by up to 100x compared to the fastest systems today.
Graphcore required a DFT solution that could reduce the cost and time challenges associated with testing the Colossus IPU's novel architecture and exceptionally large design. Integrating 23.6 billion transistors and more than a thousand IPU cores, Colossus is one of the largest processors ever fabricated.
Mentor's Tessent is the market leading DFT solution, helping companies achieve higher test quality, lower test cost and faster yield ramps. The register-transfer level (RTL)-based hierarchical DFT foundation in Tessent features an array of technologies specifically suited to address the implementation and pattern generation challenges of AI chip architectures.
Graphcore leveraged these capabilities and the Tessent SiliconInsight integrated silicon bring-up environment on Graphcore's Colossus IPU to meet its test requirements, while minimizing cycle time for DFT implementation, pattern generation, verification and silicon validation.
"We used Mentor's fully automated Tessent platform for our series of initial silicon parts, together with an all-Mentor DFT flow, allowing us to ship fully tested and validated parts within the first week," said Phil Horsfield, vice president of Silicon at Graphcore. "We were able to have Logic BIST, ATPG and Memory BIST up and running in under three days. This was way ahead of schedule."
Research firm IBS, Inc. estimates that AI-related applications consumed $65 billion (USD) of processing technology last year, growing at an 11.5 percent annual rate and significantly outpacing other segments. This processing demand has until now been supplied by microprocessors not fully optimized for high AI workloads. To meet this growing demand while significantly lowering computational cost, more than 70 companies have announced plans to create new processing architectures based on massive parallelism and specialized for AI workloads.
"Hardware acceleration for AI is now a very competitive and rapidly evolving market. As a result, fast time to market is a leading concern for this segment," said Brady Benware, senior marketing director for the Tessent product family at Mentor, a Siemens business. "Companies participating in this market are choosing Tessent because its RTL-based hierarchical DFT approach provides extremely efficient test implementation for massively parallel architectures, and Tessent's SiliconInsight debug and characterization capabilities eliminate costly delays during silicon bring-up."

Some of you may recall that we have been trying to pursue foot surgery for Rebekah for some time. In fact, we were all set to travel back and forth to St. Louis last fall to have her feet casted and corrected for rocker bottom feet/vertical talus. However. Rebekah got a bowel obstruction last September and spent 2 weeks in the hospital. Although it resolved itself, we have been leery to travel so far for orthopedic services since she is likely to have another repeat bowel obstruction at some point.
|Rebekah's right foot bends outwards to the right. The toe bones all bend to the right. Her toes on both feet look small because they are all webbed from the first joint. Her feet are more than "flat", they are actually convex from an anomaly related to Trisomy 18 called Rocker Bottom feet.
|Another look at her feet from the bottom. you can see the outward curve of the right foot and the bony protrusion on the inside of that right foot. This is due to her talus bone in the foot appearing vertical and diagonal.
|Rebekah bright and early at Shriner's waiting for check in.
Once the surgery began, the doctor discovered that Rebekah's calf muscles on both legs actually extended all the way down to her feet as well, and they were released in addition to the Achilles tendon. On her right foot, two tendons on the outside had to be released (instead of just one) and two pins were placed into her foot (versus one) - one from the back and one from the front - through soft tissue to help hold the foot in proper position. Her bones in the front of her foot all curve to the right and, unfortunately, none of this soft tissue surgery will correct that. But hopefully the more neutral position of her foot will correct the growth pattern.
The surgery was successful. Rebekah spent the night in the hospital and it took a few days to get her back to eating. I have to admit, watching her those few days I was really concerned that maybe we had made the wrong decision. She vomited and would not tolerate anything until we gave up on narcotic pain meds and went with just motrin or tylenol. As soon as we dropped the narcotics, she perked up and started acting like her old self!
|Rebekah's pain response causes her whole body to go into a flushing mode. Look at how red her cheeks and arm is. It was also on her chest and upper legs.
|A closer look at her vasodilation reaction to pain.
Please continue to pray with us that her surgery will make a difference on her balance and potential for walking, for the overall success of the surgery once the casts all come off, and for what the future holds for our baby girl.
|Rebekah rockin' her multi-colored tie dye/camo casts as she leans into Daddy for some snuggling time.

9/11 Meets The Iran Deal
Posted on September 11, 2015 by lesbianoutsider
The Obama Administration and the Republican Establishment have a convenient case of amnesia when it comes to our country's 21st century affairs. For some literally God-forsaken reason, these demented dolts have decided to bankroll Planet Earth's terrorism tycoons in a supposed monetary gesture of good-will and brokered peace in our time. Well, certainly that pesky global threat of state-sponsored death and mayhem isn't sitting on the front-burner of DC's collective consciousness these days. The likes of John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, who meander around the halls of Congress like bleary-eyed sheep searching for their next bit of grassy grazing, are too politically wasted and too financially fed to feel any potential danger from the maniacal mullahs of Iran. They either don't see a definitive threat or quite frankly they refuse to. So then, what really is the big deal with the Iran Deal? Continue reading →

DNC Platform Amendments: Dems Quickly Discover God and Jerusalem

Reflecting the amateurish leadership currently in the White House, the DNC, in mid convention, jammed through party platform changes today to stem the tide of bad PR and virulent dissension within their own ranks.

Answer to Airport Security: Check the Eyes, Not the Crotch

Hopping a plane is becoming an invasive nightmare for the American commuter who is simply trying to get from Point A to Point B with the minimal amount of upset and hassle. But when the price to pay for a terror-free flight is the compelling choice between a radiated potion of nuclear particles or a gloved hand groping your groin, maybe its time for America to face up to the farcical sham that passes for airport security.

Entitled Legends of Broadway, the new series, which will be available for viewing each Wednesday, will kick off with Pulitzer Prize and Tony-winning composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim, who will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the original cast recording of West Side Story. David Foil, a former Sony employee who conducted the interviews, told the Times, "We found that many people that we wanted to talk to were interested…In the interviews they talk about their careers, how they work, how certain shows came to be, how the records were made and other many things."
The interviews, which will be streamed free of charge, were conducted within the past year and a half. Upcoming interviews include those with Tony winners Angela Lansbury and Joel Grey.
Foil added, "The videos put faces with the names of composers, writers and stars. It's an interesting and valuable part of what we consider an important part of our mission, which is to make available as much of the Masterworks catalog as possible, and to celebrate and explore the lore behind it."

This pop-up book is the third in a "Ready for Adventure" series of Spider-Man pop-up books for toddlers, written by Michi Fukimoto and produced by Paradise Books. It stars the "Spider-Man & Friends" licensed characters. The four major characters from that team are kiddie versions of Spider-Man, Spider-Girl (his cousin), Hulk (green but not angry) and Captain America.
The book itself is 5" x 7" with thick padded covers. Each book in the four-book series is 10 pages, featuring five "centerfold" double-page images, each featuring a single, very simple popup which is best visible when the book is open at a right angle. Each page features text of a single paragraph, one or two sentences.

Spidey and Friends are at the zoo for a day's adventure. They all have their sun-hats on as they appear in this first, large pop-up panel. Each friend wants to visit their favorite exhibit.
Spidey goes to the see the monkeys. He pops up out of the page as he hangs upside down. He waves, they wave back.
Captain America goes to see the cheetahs. Sometimes he races them and wins. Heh, right. Captain America is "peak human". That doesn't mean he can run 100kph! I think the cheetah's were letting him cheet. Captain America pops up out of a cloud of dust as he runs.
Spider-Girl swings high and feeds the giraffe. She and the giraffe's head both pop out of this page together on the same panel.
The Hulk ROARs out of the final page as he visits the lion. The lion looks embarassed - he's been out-roared by the jade giant. Burn!
Silly art, daft stories, what's not to love! This stuff really grows on you.
This is far more entertaining that it has any right to be. Four webs.

Teachers to shred standardized tests in Pearson protest
Union leaders in New York will shred standardized tests Monday night in Albany to protest testing giant Pearson and attempts to "privatize -- and profit from -- public education."
Gannett's Albany Bureau reported last year that Pearson, the London-based education company, as a lock on most testing contracts in New York. It creates the tests for students, as well as the certification exams for teachers.
"The 'Public Education, Not Private Profits' protest is designed to call attention to the wealthy elite who are trying to privatize public education and profit from New York students, while taking away the rights of teachers and working people," NYSUT president Karen Magee said in a statement.
The protest will be will be held Monday from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the steps of the state Education Department building, which is across the street from the Capitol.
The protest is part of NYSUT's three-day endorsement conference, where local union presidents will weigh decide what state and federal candidates to endorse.
After her election in April, Magee said it was unlikely the union would back the re-election of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat.

Not to disparage the fine state of Iowa, but I've never had the compulsion to go there. I've probably driven through it on one of my family's many road trips across the country, but I can't say I remember anything about it. So why, now, do I wish I had a weekend pass to Des Moines? One word: BACONFEST!
This one-day party only started last year, but it must have been a smash. Of the 300 tickets that were available to this Saturday's event, there are zero left. So even if you decided to make a mad dash for it, you'd be out of luck. Sold out. Sorry suckers.
The day begins with Bacon Bloody Marys, and there are eight different menu items being served throughout the day. Attendees will hear a bacon invocation, three lectures on bacon, and be invited to enter the bacon eating contest. Not to mention a beer hour on the patio. All this for just $32.50? Total bargain. I'm definitely adding this to my 2010 itinerary.

"You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that renders the old one obsolete."
― R. Buckminster Fuller
We live in dysfunctional times, and realizing this, President Obama is finding new ways to get things done for America and for the planet, and in doing so, creating a new model of leadership.
It's no secret that the U.S. Congress is broken. Its most recent approval ratings approach single digits. During the midterm campaigns, while Republicans unanimously pointed the blame at him, President Obama quietly moved on to create new ways of working that would render the broken model obsolete.
It was announced yesterday that Obama had worked behind the scenes to solidify a plan with China to curb greenhouse emissions, and now, today we learn he also has a plan to address immigration reform.
It is a beautiful modern-day drama playing itself out: The kooky keystone cops run about smacking each other on the heads, while the calm, intelligent yet maligned leader of the free world gets matters under control. He knows our Republican controlled congress will continue to be distracted with efforts to destroy him and his previous accomplishments, such as Obamacare. While they fiddle and Rome burns, President Obama will wake up every morning and calmly step into his virtual phone booth to don his superhero cape.
It's not that he's being a dictator. He's doing what he knows the majority of Americans want, and need. He's following the wishes of his constituency, doing an end run around the bowel constriction that our Congress has become.
Now, if only he would also embrace Bucky's core philosophy that "either war is obsolete or man is" and realize that in order to create a world that works for 100% of humanity, all we have to do is turn away from weaponry, and focus instead on creating "livingry".
President Obama would do well to read Bucky's book The Grunch of Giants, a brilliant exposé of how a corporate controlled government works against the interests of every living thing, including all humanity. Maybe then he will find the strength to give a flat veto to any more pipelines, including Keystone, end fossil fuel subsidies, and not ratify any more trade agreements that undermine the environment and social justice interests. Maybe he'll even come up with some reasonable new gun laws?
Our Superhero may not be perfect, but at least he's trying. I believe President Obama would get a big thumbs up from the genius that was Buckminster Fuller.

I have rosemary.
And lots of it! I confess, I didn't plant this rosemary from seed. I purchased healthy, lovely rosemary plants and planted them. With my own two hands. That's almost as good, right?
Rosemary is what fairies use for Christmas trees, don't you think?
If only rosemary survived the winter….. Which is why I bought rosemary plants.
Rosemary is one of my very favorite herbs. I just love how it smells, how it looks, how it tastes. I'm infatuated with rosemary, year after year. Vegetables–especially potatoes, meats, breads….. Next, I shall make a rosemary cake!
Don't dare me!!
One of the easiest, prettiest things to do with rosemary is to put it in a bottle with olive oil. I love olive oil. I love rosemary. I also love cruets. It's a natural combo! Plus the garlic. I love garlic, too. I keep my daily-use olive oil in a cruet all the time, year in, year out. I don't like labels, so I tend to transfer everything I can to something non-labeled anyway, but I have a special love for cruets. For an infused oil, I use a smaller cruet because it needs to be used relatively quickly. Once you put fresh herbs and garlic in oil, you create a potential breeding ground for bacteria if allowed to sit too long. In other words, this isn't for stashing away Christmas presents. Infused oils should be used within a week. Keep them refrigerated. Use for everything–dipping oil for breads and cheese, sauteeing vegetables, especially potatoes, drizzling on meats, in bread doughs, on pizzas, etc.
(You can also use your infused olive oil in soaps and other beauty products!)
To make rosemary and garlic infused oil, clip a sprig of rosemary, about six inches high or whatever suits your bottle. Wash and air-dry thoroughly. Prepare several garlic cloves. Slice cloves if needed to fit in your bottle. "Bruise" the rosemary (to release the flavor) by pressing gently with a rolling pin.
Add olive oil to the bottle, about two-thirds full. By the way, for cooking and dipping etc, I prefer the "extra light" olive oil. I only use the "heavy" (regular) olive oil for soap. (It's too heavy for me, in taste.)
Add garlic cloves.
(You can use other herbs, whatever you like. I'm just unnaturally attached to rosemary.)
Finish filling up the oil. Shake to distribute the flavor–if using a cruet, hold a paper towel over the top so you don't strew oil everywhere. Shake daily before using. The oil will get stronger in flavor every day.
This is a fabulous way to celebrate fresh herbs from your garden, and makes a simple yet gourmet touch on your dinner table when you have guests–or just for yourself. When it's gone, wash and dry the bottle thoroughly, and do it again!
P.S. Use it in a week. Keep it in the fridge. Behave.
If I can fit it in between all the milk and cream, so can you!

The entire oral cavity is susceptible to teeth and gum problems and often times these problems are a result of poor hygiene. A dentist can assess patients' mouth and teeth and provide feedback in regards to a patient's oral health and offer suggestions for preventing teeth problems.
It is important for patients to keep their mouth clean and perform proper oral hygiene to avoid common or worse, serious teeth problems. Serious problems can develop by the persistence of bacteria and plaque in the mouth. Neglecting even a small bit of plaque lurking in a hard to brush area can cause serious problems if a dentist does not remove it. Plaque is an extremely hard surface which is difficult to remove with brushing alone hence, it is imperative for patients to visit a dentist regularly.
Bad breath (Halitosis) is caused by bacteria which grow in the moist areas of the mouth. This bacteria is easy to remove with brushing and rinsing with an antiseptic rinse aid. Even if a patient does not have access to toothpaste, the brushing alone will remove most bacteria left in the mouth from eating or drinking. Rinsing with plain water or mouthwash is also beneficial if a patient is not able to brush their teeth after eating. Bad breath is a real disease and can be a result of something more serious than oral hygiene. If persistent, it's recommended the patient seek a dentist to determine what could be causing the bad breath.
Tooth decay is caused by food particles which grow bacteria and turn to plaque. Plaque is an extremely hard compound that gathers around the base of the tooth and between the teeth. Brushing, flossing, rinsing, and visiting the dentist regularly is the best prevention for tooth decay. Patients that suspect tooth decay should seek professional help from a dentist as soon as possible before nerve damage takes place, which could destroy the tooth.
Tooth decay is a common culprit for cavities. When good oral hygiene is not practiced, food and sugars remain on the teeth and/or in between them causing the tooth to break down or develop a whole (cavity). The best prevention of course is good oral care from the patient. However, sometimes a patient cannot see what is taking place in between teeth, which is why dental visits twice a year are necessary.
Gum disease is another common problem among adults as they age. The gums begin to recede exposing the root of teeth causing sensitivity to heat, air, and cold. Gum disease can be prevented or at least slowed with regular routine dental hygiene such as flossing and rinsing with mouthwash. If a patient's teeth become ultra-sensitive, an over-the-counter toothpaste with a sensitive formula can help.
Practicing proper dental hygiene is such an important element in maintaining healthy teeth and in avoiding common teeth problems, but visit a dentist twice a year as recommended by the ADA is just as important. Dental appointments are part of proper hygiene. Over time, the buildup of plaque needs to be professionally removed by a dentist. X-rays ensure a patient doesn't have any hidden problems that can turn into something more serious if undetected.
Unfortunately, many patients procrastinate seeing a dentist until they feel discomfort or pain in a tooth or gum area. Don't fall into this category and neglect your dental visits. Schedule your appointment and keep your teeth healthy and your smile beautiful.

5767 catches up to 2007
I attended services at a local synagogue last night. The reality of the gap in my visits to temple became obvious when I took note of all the advances WE have made in delivering the word of the Torah. (I was going to say "THEY" but I was afraid my mother would read this and then know that I've only attended services maybe twice a year. Yes, at 44, I'm still trying to please her!)
Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to see much of the same technologies being used as in our classrooms. For starters, they used an Audio Enhancement system. How nice for all of the congregation to hear the words of the Rabbi and the songs of the Cantors, even the people in the back and even the elderly. Another observation was the use of an LCD projector and PowerPoint. The words to the songs were projected high above the bimah. It was really lovely to hear everyone sing along. The words were also in English transliteration, so even a Sorry-Excuse-For-A-Jew like me could pretend to know the words. Perhaps the most surprising technology, was the use of the document camera. When the Torah was opened they positioned the document camera right over the text. Although it would have sufficed to rewrite the text on a PowerPoint slide again, it was extra special to see the actual Torah and watch as the words were tracked and read, in real time.
What an engaging way to reach all of the sanctuary and draw the congregates in. I certainly learned more last night than all times I've ever attended services. Much like our students, I would normally be bored because not only couldn't I hear or see, but I didn't understand. Using the new technologies in real and relevant ways is a great way to reach our audience.
Is it true that you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Well I guess 5767 years is not all that old.
What are the innovative ways you've seen "classroom" technologies being used in the "real" world?
1 comment:
This is a great idea - I can't wait to see if our congregation will embrace the idea... although we have the LCD projector and occasionally :-( even use it during the message, I never even thought about this use of the document camera.

You may just need a place to read the newspaper, a book or just reflect on the day with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. All you need is a comfortable chair or two (if you feel like sharing your nook) a table for a beverage and maybe your favorite photos along with a good reading lamp. Your nook needs to be happy and relaxing so add a few items that bring you joy.
Whether in your bedroom or in the corner of the family room, this grouping can be small enough to fit in most rooms. Add a footstool or ottoman to put your feet up or hold a tray with your favorite beverage. Just make it a comfortable a place you can really relax and unwind.

Book Review: Code Name Verity, by Elizabeth Wein
Wein, Elizabeth. Code Name Verity. 327 p. 2012. Hyperion. Hardcover $16.99. ISBN 9781423152194.
I was lucky enough to read an e-galley of this book a couple months ago, and I've been pondering how to review it ever since then. Honestly, I started drafting this review in March, but all it said was: "OMG where to begin??" ...which is more or less how I still feel.
This book is one of my favorite reads of 2012 so far. Possibly my very favorite. Basically, I want Code Name Verity to win ALL THE AWARDS.
It's about two young women who are part of the Allied war effort during World War II. One of them, a pilot, has crashed her plane. And her friend, also in the plane, has been captured by Nazis and is writing out her confession in the hopes of staying alive for just a little while longer.
This New York Times book review explains why it's impossible to say any more without revealing spoilers. Here's what I can say, though:
One of the most appealing aspects of this book this book- something that's actually a bit of a rare find- is the beautiful portrayal of a strong female friendship. The main characters are wonderful and memorable on their own, and they're even better together. There's an overall theme of female empowerment, with these two young women acting in untraditional roles during the war. Female characters in supporting roles are layered and complex, too.
There's a very epic, cinematic feel to Wein's writing. I'd love to see this book adapted for the big screen-- but then again, it's more effective in print, because most of it is supposed to be a written narrative. The intricate plotting and astounding twists will keep readers on the edge of their seats wondering what on earth is going to happen to these characters.
Despite the fact that there are parts that will make the reader cry, I didn't actually cry a lot... except for one point when I actually cried out in shock and sadness, like someone yelling "Nooooo!" at a movie screen. Yes, I was that invested.
And when I finished reading, I wanted to start again from the beginning.
Code Name Verity comes out today, and you won't want to miss it. ARC for review received from Disney Hyperion via NetGalley.

I know exactly what part you cried out "Nooo!" at because I did the same.ReplyDelete
I know this book is amazing, the writing is fabulous and the character deep, but I was just left feeling rather meh about it. It's like I could appreciate all its good parts from afar but the fact is, I kept falling asleep while reading the early parts of it and well, I don't think I ever recovered from the slow beginning. It's not a personal favorite but I do see all its merits.

Copyright 1997/THE TIMES MIRROR COMPANY
90 Years of Ridin' The Range
They called him "The Cowboy" and everybody loved him.
He never went anywhere without a 10-gallon hat and snakeskin boots. A string tie, if it was formal. He was a legit son of the pioneers, born on the lone prairie of Tioga, Texas, where the deer and the antelope play and the skies are not cloudy all day.
He was always a happy sort. He was a telegrapher by trade in Oklahoma in his youth and, one day, as he was sitting between wirelesses, playing his guitar, fate walked in. It was the greatest cowboy of them all, Will Rogers, and he was wiring in his daily newspaper column.
Rogers listened to a cowboy lament sung by the young man and he said, "Son, you're wasting your time sending copy. Go to New York and get yourself into show business."
So, Gene Autry did. Only he went west instead of east and became one of the most beloved show business figures in the history of the movie industry. He made 94 feature films as the original singing cowboy.
His pictures were a staple of Saturday matinees all over the world. He never killed anybody in his pictures, just lassoed the varmints and, at the fade-out, rode off in the sunset, singing about home on the range.
He never got an Academy Award. They usually gave that to some artiste whose picture lost a million at the box office. But the exhibitors loved him and complained that they wanted a Gene Autry picture instead of one of those costume dramas where everyone went around saying "Forsooth!"
Everything he touched turned to platinum. He was a canny businessman whose handshake was as good as a 100-page signed contract. He went away to war, even though his producer, Herbert Yates, threatened to make Roy Rodgers a star in his stead if he went through with his enlistment.
He wrote blockbuster songs with collaborators. 'Back in the Saddle Again' became almost as famous as 'Home on the Range.' He wrote 'That Silver Haired Daddy of Mine' and the whole country cried. He was grand marshal of the annual Hollywood Santa Claus parade and he wrote 'Here Comes Santa Claus,' which almost rivalled 'White Christmas.' In fact, Irving Berlin stopped him on stage one night and told him he wished he could write cowboy songs, too.
Autry pioneered what has become country and western music. But he was not infallible. One day, they brought him a Christmas song he didn't think had a chance and he proposed to put it on the flip side of a record he deemed better. But his late wife, Ina, protested.
"It's the song of the ugly duckling! It's beautiful!" she told him.
So Gene Autry recorded 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.' It only became the biggest-selling record of all time.
Gene bought radio stations, TV stations, bankrolled movies. He had parlayed a guitar and a saddle into megamillions and, in 1960, when baseball was going to expand, he and his partner, the late Bob Reynolds, traveled to the winter meetings to see about a radio contract with the new expansion team in L.A.
Instead of the contract, he got the team. Baseball was overjoyed to have such an immensely popular and impeccable character. And Gene, a lifelong baseball fan, became not only the Angels' owner but No. 1 rooter.
He was in the locker room as often as the trainer. In a way, Gene remained a little boy all his life. I don't think anybody ever saw him mad. In all the years I knew him, I never even heard him curse. He never acted rich. He acted as if he had just left the bunkhouse.
He was the first owner to move his team out of L.A. But he went only 36 miles down the road to the suburbs, Anaheim. He really just wanted to get out of Dodger Stadium, where his team was like the sister with buck teeth rooming with her beauty queen sibling.
His baseball team didn't break his heart. Gene didn't deal in heartbreak. He was as optimistic as a kid on Christmas morning all his life.
But real disappointment struck on Oct. 12, 1986. In the pennant playoff against the Boston Red Sox, the Angels, leading three games to one, had two outs and a 5-4 lead in the ninth inning — Boston had a man on base — and needed only one strike to win the '86 pennant and get into the World Series.
Alas! The batter, a slumping journeyman named Dave Henderson, hit a two-run homer that gave the Red Sox the lead — and ultimately the pennant.
It was one of the few unhappy endings of Gene's career. Even that day, his team tied the score in the bottom of the ninth and had the bases loaded and only one out. All they needed was a fly ball to bring a runner — and the pennant — home. But his last two batters couldn't do it.
A terrible footnote to this ill-fated afternoon was that the losing pitcher, Donnie Moore, was to take his own life less than three years later.
Gene will be 90 on Monday. A gala fund-raising dinner will be held at the Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage that night. Eddy Arnold, Rosemary Clooney, Willie Nelson, Roy Clark and Glen Campbell are on the bill.
I went out to see Gene the other day. We go way back — to the days when I was a young magazine reporter and he was the king of Gower Gulch.
Gene is in the capable hands of his lovely wife, Jackie, who protects his sunset days.
He and I struggled through mists of memory to recall the magical days of yore. The cast of characters of Westerns are as long gone as silent pictures. Jimmy Stewart, Hank Fonda, Duke Wayne, Tom Mix and Gary Cooper have all headed for the last roundup. Only Gene remains.
He's still the Angels' Angel. Keeps 75 percent of the club but Disney runs it. He still thinks of the one pitch that got away.
Maybe it'll always be 1945 again and he'll be whistling for Champion after struggling out of the bonds the rustlers put on him. Maybe it'll be the ninth inning again and this time Doug DeCinces will hit that long fly to center with the pennant flying on it.
Did he have any regrets? I wondered.
"Not a one," smiled the last cowboy. "I'd like to do it all over again!"

Are you the primary caregiver in your family? Whether you're caring for your aging parent, an injured child, or a recently-discharged spouse, you have to steer clear from infection. You don't want to spread infection at home by being mindless about the unseen army of germs and bacteria.
As providers of home health care services in Girard Avenue, Pennsylvania, we advocate on frequent hand washing as the leading protective activity against infection at home.
When do you need to wash your hands? Wash your hands…
- When they are dirty / have touched blood or unclean body fluids such as vomit, spit, or pus
- Before and after using the toilet
- Before preparing and eating food
- Before and after tending to the sick patient
- After cleaning the house, throwing the garbage, washing dirty laundry
- After coughing / sneezing
How do you wash your hands? Preferably under a running water, wash your hands in the following steps:
- Wash hands together palm to palm.
- Wash the back of your left hand using the palm of your right hand and vice versa.
- Wash your fingers by rubbing them with the opposite set with palms facing each other.
- Wash the back of your fingers with the palm of the other hand while the fingers are interlocked.
- Rub each finger using the other hand starting with the thumb and vice versa.
- Rub the tip of your fingers with the palm of the other hand and vice versa.
- Do these steps for about two minutes (or while you're humming the Happy Birthday song once).
Hand washing could mean the worst in the family if you miss practicing it. If someone is recuperating at home, it's advisable that the rest of the family should also perform this hand washing practice to protect every member from unwelcome infection. Our team of senior care providers Pennsylvania at First Hope Home Health Care Agency, Inc. believes that you have it in you to keep the overall well-being of your family intact.
If you find the need to ask for extra hands in providing senior care assistance to your aging loved one at home, you can simply keep in touch with us. We're ready to extend high-quality care for your loved one at First Hope Home Health Care Agency, Inc.

Oxidation reduction potential (ORP) measurement continues to be an essential tool in power plant water chemistry to monitor chemical dosing and impurities which can initiate corrosion. Advances in sensor technology make ORP measurement easier than ever before.
The significance of ORP measurement
Among the many water quality analytical measurements that can be conducted in power plants, ORP (redox) is one of the most important. As a measure of the degree to which a chemical species is capable of oxidizing or reducing another chemical species, it is indicative of corrosive conditions being present in water.
An ORP sensor, very similar to one for pH, reports the ORP value in millivolts (mV). A positive voltage means that the system is capable of attracting electrons, thus indicative of an oxidizing condition while a negative voltage means a reducing condition exists. As oxygen is a powerful oxidizing agent, water with a high dissolved oxygen concentration will show a positive ORP value.
Control hydrazine levels
In power plants and boiler systems, one practical use of ORP measurement is to monitor hydrazine and carbohydrazide in the steam-water cycle to minimize corrosion.
Hydrazine is a chemical compound that acts as a reducing agent in water systems. It prevents corrosion by reacting with oxygen to form nitrogen gas and water. Therefore, instead of oxidizing the steel of process tanks and pipelines in the steam cycle, the excess concentration of dissolved oxygen is consumed in the presence of hydrazine.
Similar to hydrazine, carbohydrazide reacts with dissolved oxygen to form nitrogen gas, water and carbon dioxide at room temperature.
Since both hydrazine and carbohydrazide consume oxygen, these chemicals are termed "oxygen scavengers". Just like reducing agents, the presence of oxygen scavengers decreases the ORP of water.
Measurement and monitoring of hydrazine/carbohydrazine and dissolved oxygen in power plants is essential for efficient, cost-effective running.
Prevent overuse of expensive chemical agents
In make-up water treatment, ORP monitoring is critical on the filtered water to ensure that oxidizing chemicals (like chlorine) have been removed before it enters the reverse osmosis (RO) unit. The presence of oxidizing agents in an RO unit can destroy the osmosis membrane allowing dissolved salts to enter the system and lowering the quality of water.
ORP measurement after the condenser polisher and before the deaerator is important to monitor oxygen ingress. De-aerator lowers the concentration of dissolve oxygen before it enters the boiler, hence, its outlet should also have ORP sensors to check the efficiency of the process. More importantly, feedwater systems are usually equipped with ORP sensors to monitor chemical dosage of reducing agents like hydrazine and carbohydrazide to check if their dose is enough to reduce oxygen to an acceptable level.
Feeding excess amount of these chemicals is very costly, while insufficient use can result in corrosion. Aside from these applications, cooling towers must also be equipped with ORP sensors to control oxidizing biocides, sulfites and the build-up of algae that leads to severe plugging and damage to the systems they colonize.
Aside from monitoring oxidation and reduction activities in the steam-water cycle, ORP may also indicate leaks coming from measurement positions (e.g. fittings, casings, glands, etc.).
ORP sensors for low conductivity water
METTLER TOLEDO Thornton offers combined pH / ORP sensors designed specifically for water treatment. The inclusion of Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM®) technology provides Plug and Measure start-up, easier maintenance and advanced diagnostics for predictive maintenance. When connected to a METTLER TOLEDO transmitter such as the M800, both ORP and pH can be measured simultaneously from a single probe. This is useful in measurement points such as after the cooling tower where water treatment decisions need to be made.
The power industry is continually looking for ways to improve water chemistry control and monitoring. ORP measurement is seeing renewed interest because of its simplicity, ease of maintenance and advances in combination with pH measurement. These features assure its position as a vital tool for inhibiting corrosion.
METTLER TOLEDO Thornton's pHure Sensor™ series provides very accurate pH measurements for ensuring the purity of power plant and microelectronics facility waters.
The standard pHure Sensor features a low-resistance pH glass membrane, shielded flow chamber, and a continuous outflow of reference electrolyte for stable measurement. The special, internally-pressurized gel electrolyte reference electrode produces similar results to a flowing junction reference but offers more convenient installation and maintenance.
The pHure Sensor LE uses free-flowing liquid electrolyte to provide the most accurate pH measurement available for pure waters. The accompanying stainless steel housing provides a controlled flow path with minimum volume to encourage corrosion particles to flush through.
pHure Sensors with Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM) maintain calibration and other data in internal memory, enabling convenient pre-calibration in a lab or workshop. In addition, their digital output signals are far more robust than analog signals.

Tom Wolfe, a pioneering voice of his generation, passed away this week at the age of 88 in New York City. We are extremely honored to have published fourteen of his books. The following is an excerpt from The Right Stuff, his nonfiction book about the first American astronauts to conquer space.
Within five minutes, or ten minutes, no more than that, three of the others had called her on the telephone to ask her if she had heard that something had happened out there.
"Jane, this is Alice. Listen, I just got a call from Betty, and she said she heard something's happened out there. Have you heard anything?" That was the way they phrased it, call after call. She picked up the telephone and began relaying this same message to some of the others.
"Connie, this is Jane Conrad. Alice just called me, and she says something's happened…"
Something was part of the official Wife Lingo for tiptoeing blindfolded around the subject. Being barely twenty-one years old and new around here, Jane Conrad knew very little about this particular subject, since nobody ever talked about it. But the day was young! And what a setting she had for her imminent enlightenment! And what a picture she herself presented! Jane was tall and slender and had rich brown hair and high cheekbones and wide brown eyes. She looked a little like the actress Jean Simmons. Her father was a rancher in southwestern Texas. She had gone East to college, to Bryn Mawr, and had met her husband, Pete, at a debutante's party at the Gulph Mills Club in Philadelphia, when he was a senior at Princeton. Pete was a short, wiry, blond boy who joked around a lot. At any moment his face was likely to break into a wild grin revealing the gap between his front teeth. The Hickory Kid sort, he was; a Hickory Kid on the deb circuit, however. He had an air of energy, self-confidence, ambition, joie de vivre. Jane and Pete were married two days after he graduated from Princeton. Last year Jane gave birth to their first child, Peter. And today, here in Florida, in Jacksonville, in the peaceful year 1955, the sun shines through the pines outside, and the very air takes on the sparkle of the ocean. The ocean and a great mica-white beach are less than a mile away. Anyone driving by will see Jane's little house gleaming like a dream house in the pines. It is a brick house, but Jane and Pete painted the bricks white, so that it gleams in the sun against a great green screen of pine trees with a thousand little places where the sun peeks through. They painted the shutters black, which makes the white walls look even more brilliant. The house has only eleven hundred square feet of floor space, but Jane and Pete designed it themselves and that more than makes up for the size. A friend of theirs was the builder and gave them every possible break, so that it cost only eleven thousand dollars. Outside, the sun shines, and inside, the fever rises by the minute as five, ten, fifteen, and, finally, nearly all twenty of the wives join the circuit, trying to find out what has happened, which, in fact, means: to whose husband.
Outside, the sun shines, and inside, the fever rises by the minute as five, ten, fifteen, and, finally, nearly all twenty of the wives join the circuit, trying to find out what has happened, which, in fact, means: to whose husband.
After thirty minutes on such a circuit—this is not an unusual morning around here—a wife begins to feel that the telephone is no longer located on a table or on the kitchen wall. It is exploding in her solar plexus. Yet it would be far worse right now to hear the front doorbell. The protocol is strict on that point, although written down nowhere. No woman is supposed to deliver the final news, and certainly not on the telephone. The matter mustn't be bungled!—that's the idea. No, a man should bring the news when the time comes, a man with some official or moral authority, a clergyman or a comrade of the newly deceased. Furthermore, he should bring the bad news in person. He should turn up at the front door and ring the bell and be standing there like a pillar of coolness and competence, bearing the bad news on ice, like a fish. Therefore, all the telephone calls from the wives were the frantic and portentous beating of the wings of the death angels, as it were. When the final news came, there would be a ring at the front door—a wife in this situation finds herself staring at the front door as if she no longer owns it or controls it—and outside the door would be a man…come to inform her that unfortunately something has happened out there, and her husband's body now lies incinerated in the swamps or the pines or the palmetto grass, "burned beyond recognition," which anyone who had been around an air base for very long (fortunately Jane had not) realized was quite an artful euphemism to describe a human body that now looked like an enormous fowl that has burned up in a stove, burned a blackish brown all over, greasy and blistered, fried, in a word, with not only the entire face and all the hair and the ears burned off, not to mention all the clothing, but also the hands and feet, with what remains of the arms and legs bent at the knees and elbows and burned into absolutely rigid angles, burned a greasy blackish brown like the bursting body itself, so that this husband, father, officer, gentleman, this ornamentum of some mother's eye, His Majesty the Baby of just twenty-odd years back, has been reduced to a charred hulk with wings and shanks sticking out of it.
My own husband—how could this be what they were talking about? Jane had heard the young men, Pete among them, talk about other young men who had "bought it" or "augered in" or "crunched," but it had never been anyone they knew, no one in the squadron. And in any event, the way they talked about it, with such breezy, slangy terminology, was the same way they talked about sports. It was as if they were saying, "He was thrown out stealing second base." And that was all! Not one word, not in print, not in conversation—not in this amputated language!—about an incinerated corpse from which a young man's spirit has vanished in an instant, from which all smiles, gestures, moods, worries, laughter, wiles, shrugs, tenderness, and loving looks—you, my love!—have disappeared like a sigh, while the terror consumes a cottage in the woods, and a young woman, sizzling with the fever, awaits her confirmation as the new widow of the day.
The next series of calls greatly increased the possibility that it was Pete to whom something had happened. There were only twenty men in the squadron, and soon nine or ten had been accounted for…by the fluttering reports of the death angels. Knowing that the word was out that an accident had occurred, husbands who could get to a telephone were calling home to say it didn't happen to me. This news, of course, was immediately fed to the fever. Jane's telephone would ring once more, and one of the wives would be saying:
"Nancy just got a call from Jack. He's at the squadron and he says something's happened, but he doesn't know what. He said he saw Frank D—take off about ten minutes ago with Greg in back, so they're all right. What have you heard?"
But Jane has heard nothing except that other husbands, and not hers, are safe and accounted for. And thus, on a sunny day in Florida, outside of the Jacksonville Naval Air Station, in a little white cottage, a veritable dream house, another beautiful young woman was about to be apprised of the quid pro quo of her husband's line of work, of the trade-off, as one might say, the subparagraphs of a contract written in no visible form. Just as surely as if she had the entire roster in front of her, Jane now realized that only two men in the squadron were unaccounted for. One was a pilot named Bud Jennings; the other was Pete. She picked up the telephone and did something that was much frowned on in a time of emergency. She called the squadron office. The duty officer answered.
Just as surely as if she had the entire roster in front of her, Jane now realized that only two men in the squadron were unaccounted for.
"I want to speak to Lieutenant Conrad," said Jane. "This is Mrs. Conrad."
"I'm sorry," the duty officer said—and then his voice cracked. "I'm sorry…I…" He couldn't find the words! He was about to cry! "I'm—that's—I mean…he can't come to the phone!"
He can't come to the phone!
"It's very important!" said Jane.
"I'm sorry—it's impossible—" The duty officer could hardly get the words out because he was so busy gulping back sobs. Sobs! "He can't come to the phone."
"Why not? Where is he?"
"I'm sorry—" More sighs, wheezes, snuffling gasps. "I can't tell you that. I—I have to hang up now!"
And the duty officer's voice disappeared in a great surf of emotion and he hung up.
The duty officer! The very sound of her voice was more than he could take!
The world froze, congealed, in that moment. Jane could no longer calculate the interval before the front doorbell would ring and some competent long-faced figure would appear, some Friend of Widows and Orphans, who would inform her, officially, that Pete was dead.

Even out in the middle of the swamp, in this rot-bog of pine trunks, scum slicks, dead dodder vines, and mosquito eggs, even out in this great overripe sump, the smell of "burned beyond recognition" obliterated everything else. When airplane fuel exploded, it created a heat so intense that everything but the hardest metals not only burned—everything of rubber, plastic, celluloid, wood, leather, cloth, flesh, gristle, calcium, horn, hair, blood, and protoplasm—it not only burned, it gave up the ghost in the form of every stricken putrid gas known to chemistry. One could smell the horror. It came in through the nostrils and burned the rhinal cavities raw and penetrated the liver and permeated the bowels like a black gas until there was nothing in the universe, inside or out, except the stench of the char. As the helicopter came down between the pine trees and settled onto the bogs, the smell hit Pete Conrad even before the hatch was completely open, and they were not even close enough to see the wreckage yet. The rest of the way Conrad and the crewmen had to travel on foot. After a few steps the water was up to their knees, and then it was up to their armpits, and they kept wading through the water and the scum and the vines and the pine trunks, but it was nothing compared to the smell. Conrad, a twenty-five-year-old lieutenant junior grade, happened to be on duty as squadron safety officer that day and was supposed to make the on-site investigation of the crash. The fact was, however, that this squadron was the first duty assignment of his career, and he had never been at a crash site before and had never smelled any such revolting stench or seen anything like what awaited him.
When Conrad finally reached the plane, which was an SNJ, he found the fuselage burned and blistered and dug into the swamp with one wing sheared off and the cockpit canopy smashed. In the front seat was all that was left of his friend Bud Jennings. Bud Jennings, an amiable fellow, a promising young fighter pilot, was now a horrible roasted hulk—with no head. His head was completely gone, apparently torn off the spinal column like a pineapple off a stalk, except that it was nowhere to be found.
Conrad stood there soaking wet in the swamp bog, wondering what the hell to do. It was a struggle to move twenty feet in this freaking muck. Every time he looked up, he was looking into a delirium of limbs, vines, dappled shadows, and a chopped-up white light that came through the tree-tops—the ubiquitous screen of trees with a thousand little places where the sun peeked through. Nevertheless, he started wading back out into the muck and the scum, and the others followed. He kept looking up. Gradually he could make it out. Up in the treetops there was a pattern of broken limbs where the SNJ had come crashing through. It was like a tunnel through the treetops. Conrad and the others began splashing through the swamp, following the strange path ninety or a hundred feet above them. It took a sharp turn. That must have been where the wing broke off. The trail veered to one side and started downward. They kept looking up and wading through the muck. Then they stopped. There was a great green sap wound up there in the middle of a tree trunk. It was odd. Near the huge gash was…tree disease…some sort of brownish lumpy sac up in the branches, such as you see in trees infested by bagworms, and there were yellowish curds on the branches around it, as if the disease had caused the sap to ooze out and fester and congeal—except that it couldn't be sap because it was streaked with blood. In the next instant—Conrad didn't have to say a word. Each man could see it all. The lumpy sack was the cloth liner of a flight helmet, with the earphones attached to it. The curds were Bud Jennings's brains. The tree trunk had smashed through the cockpit canopy of the SNJ and knocked Bud Jennings's head to pieces like a melon.
Up in the treetops there was a pattern of broken limbs where the SNJ had come crashing through. It was like a tunnel through the treetops.

In keeping with the protocol, the squadron commander was not going to release Bud Jennings's name until his widow, Loretta, had been located and a competent male death messenger had been dispatched to tell her. But Loretta Jennings was not at home and could not be found. Hence, a delay—and more than enough time for the other wives, the death angels, to burn with panic over the telephone lines. All the pilots were accounted for except the two who were in the woods, Bud Jennings and Pete Conrad. One chance in two, acey-deucey, one finger-two finger, and this was not an unusual day around here.
Loretta Jennings had been out at a shopping center. When she returned home, a certain figure was waiting outside, a man, a solemn Friend of Widows and Orphans, and it was Loretta Jennings who lost the game of odd and even, acey-deucey, and it was Loretta whose child (she was pregnant with a second) would have no father. It was this young woman who went through all the final horrors that Jane Conrad had imagined—assumed!—would be hers to endure forever. Yet this grim stroke of fortune brought Jane little relief.
On the day of Bud Jennings's funeral, Pete went into the back of the closet and brought out his bridge coat, per regulations. This was the most stylish item in the Navy officer's wardrobe. Pete had never had occasion to wear his before. It was a double-breasted coat made of navy-blue melton cloth and came down almost to the ankles. It must have weighed ten pounds. It had a double row of gold buttons down the front and loops for shoulder boards, big beautiful belly-cut collar and lapels, deep turnbacks on the sleeves, a tailored waist, and a center vent in back that ran from the waistline to the bottom of the coat. Never would Pete, or for that matter many other American males in the mid-twentieth century, have an article of clothing quite so impressive and aristocratic as that bridge coat. At the funeral the nineteen little Indians who were left—Navy boys!—lined up manfully in their bridge coats. They looked so young. Their pink, lineless faces with their absolutely clear, lean jawlines popped up bravely, correctly, out of the enormous belly-cut collars of the bridge coats. They sang an old Navy hymn, which slipped into a strange and lugubrious minor key here and there, and included a stanza added especially for aviators. It ended with: "O hear us when we lift our prayer for those in peril in the air."
Tom Wolfe (1930-2018) was one of the founders of the New Journalism movement and the author of such contemporary classics as The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, The Right Stuff, and Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers, as well as the novels The Bonfire of the Vanities, A Man in Full, and I Am Charlotte Simmons. As a reporter, he wrote articles for The Washington Post, the New York Herald Tribune, Esquire, and New York magazine, and is credited with coining the term, "The Me Decade."
Among his many honors, Tom was awarded the National Book Award, the John Dos Passos Award, the Washington Irving Medal for Literary Excellence, the National Humanities Medal, and the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.
A native of Richmond, Virginia, he earned his B.A. at Washington and Lee University, graduating cum laude, and a Ph.D. in American studies at Yale. He lived in New York City.

Representatives from Trademark Verification Service Provider Deloitte and Sunrise/Claims Service Provider IBM discuss the Trademark Clearinghouse.
My name is Jan Corstens and I am with Deloitte. I am overall responsible for the Trademark Clearinghouse as has been set up by ICANN. The Trademark Clearinghouse is ICANN's cornerstone of their right protections mechanisms for the new gTLD program. It is going to be really central point where trademark owners will be able to add their protection for the new gTLDs program. What does that mean? Well, in principle it's going to be a centralized database with validated trademarks.
Thank you Jan. My name is Dirk De Bevere for IBM and I am the overall lead for IBM's involvement in ICANN's new gTLD program and Trademark Clearinghouse. So as explained, we have been working for quite some time now as per Deloitte's invitation to join forces on the project. They need the database, which is owned by ICANN Data, but it's developed and managed by ourselves. Based on the database, there are really two components that will provide the service to the registries, registrars and the entire community. Those are the Sunrise Services and Claims Services. We are in a very excited point in time right now with serious milestones coming up in the next two to three months. So as of last week, we've got our first destiny environment available for the various parties to collect to the environment and start doing preliminary testing. As of the end of this month, the Sunrise environment will be available and for testing, it will be in production on August 9th (2013) and then one month later on the 9th, the Claims environment will also be available into production and already available for testing two weeks earlier. So say by the end of early September, the entire environment for Sunrise and Claim Services will also be at the availability or at the disposition of registries, registrars and the community.

Hope Lost: India's Transgenders and the Trans Bill 2018 Understand why the now lapsed bill drew such strong criticism
16, Feb 2019 | CJP Team
The Transgender Bill 2018, introduced by the Modi government, ostensibly to 'protect' the Transgender community has evoked strong reactions from the community as well as progressive minded people throughout India. It is largely seen as a conservative, even devious piece of legislation that will irreversibly harm the Transgender community. In this must watch video, CJP speaks to a wide spectrum of Transgenders and Gender Non Binary Indians to know exactly what the opposition to the Trans Bill, in the process also flagging some issues that lie at the core of the community's concerns. In a strange move, the bill was allowed to lapse by the Government by not introducing it in the outgoing Rajya Sabha. For now, this is a relief but many more battles lie ahead.
Supreme Court sets the Rainbow Free!
Act Now to help CJP sustain initiatives like Citizens Tribunals, Public Hearings within Communities, Campaigns and Memoranda to Statutory Commissions. With your support we will continue to Petition Courts and Non-Judicial Authorities to protect some of India's most vulnerable people. Join us.
