Rock County Board committee votes 3-2 in favor of same-sex benefits
JANESVILLE—A proposal to extend benefits to same-sex domestic partners of county employees was endorsed by a county board committee Thursday, but by only one vote.
The Rock County Board Finance Committee voted 3-2 to approve a resolution that would give county employees in registered domestic partnerships the ability to include their significant others on their health plan prescription drug coverage, dental insurance and other employee benefits currently extended to married couples.
It's something that the cities of Beloit, Janesville, Milton, Edgerton and Evansville already do. The village of Clinton, Blackhawk Technical College and the Janesville School District also extend benefits to same-sex partners.
It's unclear, however, if Rock County Board supervisors will vote to join them.
Finance committee members Sandy Kraft, Mary Beaver and committee Chairwoman Mary Mawhinney voted "yes" Thursday.
County Board Chairman Russ Podzilni and Supervisor Brent Fox voted "no."
"People said we would be doing this because it's the right thing to do," Podzilni said. "But the right thing to do for you could be different that what the right thing to do is for me."
Fox, too, said he has problems with the idea of domestic partnerships and said the domestic partnership registry has the potential for fraud.
Both men pointed out that Wisconsin doesn't recognize gay marriage.
Both men also said that they "wouldn't lose any sleep" if it passed, but they didn't intend to vote for it.
The resolution still has to go to the Rock County Board Staff Committee on Tuesday, Jan. 14, and to the county board Thursday, Jan. 23.
Kraft, who also is on the staff committee, said she strongly supports the resolution.
"We say that Rock County is a nondiscriminatory organization," Kraft said. "If we follow what we say, this just seems to fit in."
The resolution, which was drafted by Human Resources Director Dave O'Connell, notes that extending benefits would "increase the attractiveness of the county's employment benefit package" and thus facilitate "successful employee recruitment and retention."
In an executive summary attached to the resolution, O'Connell notes that the issue had come up in two of the eight "meet and confer" sessions with non-law enforcement bargaining units.
Walworth County does not cover domestic partners. Dane County and several municipalities in Dane County cover domestic partners.
It's estimated the county's total health care costs would increase 0.5 to 1 percent if the resolution passes, according to a fiscal note attached. Those estimates are based on the experience of other public employers, the note says.
The county is self-insured, and its health care costs vary from year to year.
Rock County Sheriff Bob Spoden said he spoke in favor of the resolution Thursday and plans to do so again at the county board meeting.
One of his officers has a same-sex domestic partner, and Spoden doesn't think it's fair that she can't extend her benefits to her partner.
"This is the right thing to do," Spoden said in an interview after the meeting. "History will judge whether we were a leader on this or whether we had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to do what will eventually be inevitable."

|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|April 2003
|Study Completion Date:
|August 2007
Combining drug abuse and HIV risk reduction counseling with opioid agonist maintenance treatment (OMT) or antagonist maintenance treatment with naltrexone (NMT) is effective for reducing illicit drug use and preventing HIV transmission associated with heroin dependence, but support for NMT and OMT remains tenuous in many Western Pacific countries (e.g., Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore) where heroin addiction and HIV infection are epidemic and closely linked due to injection drug use (IDU) and high-risk sexual behaviors among addicts. Promising results of NMT in Malaysia have created interest in evaluating OMT using buprenorphine (BMT) and comparing the efficacy of counseling alone and counseling combined with BMT or NMT. This 24-week, randomized double blind clinical trial compares the efficacy for preventing heroin use and relapse and reducing HIV risk behaviors of manual-guided, HIV risk reduction and drug counseling (DC-HIV) alone or when combined with buprenorphine maintenance treatment (BMT) or naltrexone maintenance treatment (NMT) for recently detoxified and currently abstinent heroin dependent patients (N=180) in Malaysia (Specific Aim 1). The study will allow evaluation of 3 hypotheses: DC-HIV plus naltrexone is superior to DC-HIV alone; DC-HIV plus buprenorphine is superior to DC-HIV alone; and DC-HIV plus naltrexone is superior to DC-HIV plus buprenorphine. Primary outcome measures, assessed by 3x/wk urine toxicology testing and self-report, include resumption of heroin use, 1 or 3 weeks continuous relapse and reductions in HIV risk behaviors. The project will also evaluate the characteristics of treatment-seeking heroin addicts in Malaysia (including specific risk behaviors and patterns of HIV risk behaviors; prevalence of psychiatric and other medical comorbidity; and patterns of social, family, vocational, and criminal activity and service needs—Specific Aim 2). This data will be used to revise the DC-HIV manual to address the specific circumstances and risk behaviors of Malaysian heroin addicts. Finally, the project provides clinical training for health professionals and training and mentoring in drug abuse treatment and HIV prevention research to clinical researchers who will continue development, implementation, evaluation and dissemination of HIV prevention and drug abuse treatment approaches in Malaysia after the project ends (Specific Aim 3). The results of the study will inform government policy and support for HIV prevention and drug abuse treatment efforts in Malaysia and possibly also in other Western Pacific countries.

1 Alex Maryol
You'll never guess who won Best Male Vocalist and Best Rock Band this year, Santa Fe. It's a pretty big surprise…on opposite day! I'm talking, of course, about Alex Maryol. No Way! You've proven year after year that you can't get enough of this guy.
The band had a soft release of a brand-new CD this past May. Face The Day is a great record and proves you can't pigeonhole this guy as just a blues musician. "It's basically about the culmination of the last five or 10 years of my life," Maryol says. "A lot has happened, you know?" The album is all over the map and moves from blissful pop to downright emotional (not emo, though…that would be gross). Maryol is switching gears for the future of his band. No longer content to play every other day, Maryol, drummer Andy Primm and bassist Will Magee are taking a step back to reassess their situation. "I'm getting more into playing for quality as opposed to quantity," Maryol says.
Fewer shows mean more excitement when we do get a chance to check out the band, and that is never a bad thing. With a strong new record and the support of the city, Maryol will no doubt be rocking us for years to come.

Jeter tests ankle, not worried about missing games
By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
TAMPA, Fla. -- Derek Jeter ranged a few steps to his right, fielded a ground ball with the same form he has used for nearly two decades in the big leagues and threw across his body on a line to first base.
The Yankees' captain laughed his way through a morning workout at George M. Steinbrenner Field on Friday, testing the inflamed left ankle that has placed his Opening Day status in doubt. If the decision were left up to Jeter, he would be playing right now.
"Of course, if I had to," Jeter said. "I don't have to right now, today. There's no game here."
Even if his surgically repaired left ankle was not a concern, Jeter probably would not have been on the list to make the 2 1/2-hour bus ride to play in an Grapefruit League game against the Twins in Fort Myers, Fla.
But after Jeter was scratched from Tuesday's game, sent for precautionary X-rays and an MRI exam, then issued a cortisone injection, the Yankees have stated that they do not plan to have Jeter play in any other games against big league competition this spring.
General manager Brian Cashman said that Jeter will be limited to playing in Minor League games -- the first of which could come as soon as Saturday -- for the rest of his time in Florida, because the Yankees need to preserve the ability to backdate Jeter's injury in the event that he is not able to play on Opening Day.
Teams may place injured players on the disabled list retroactive to a date 10 days before the season opener, so if Jeter goes on the DL, the earliest date he could be activated would be April 6 in Detroit. Jeter said he has been briefed on that situation by the Yankees.
"Oh, I understand it, but I also understand plans change sometimes," Jeter said. "So today was here, tomorrow we'll see what happens and we'll move forward from there. But yeah, I understand it. I didn't understand how it worked until they explained it to me."
Informed of Jeter's comments, Cashman said that having Jeter play against big league competition is not something that is currently on his radar.
"He likes to fight for everything and anything, which I understand," Cashman said. "It's not probably in our best interest for that to happen. You always want to be in a position to preserve the ability -- if he needs to go on the DL -- to backdate it."
Jeter did not appear to be hobbled at all during his brief workout on Friday, in which he took batting practice with a group that also included veterans Ichiro Suzuki, Kevin Youkilis and Travis Hafner. Jeter sprayed his share of healthy line drives around the outfield grass, killing downtime by joining Ichiro and Hafner in joking about Youkilis' batting stance.
"I'm still trying to figure it out," Jeter cracked with a smile. "It's unique."
Jeter then took ground balls from infield coach Mick Kelleher at shortstop, first on the lip of the grass and then at normal depth. During the first round, Brett Gardner nearly clipped the captain twice, once with a hot liner that flicked off Jeter's glove and again with a grounder that scooted past his ankle.
Gardner later joked that if either of those balls had injured Jeter, Gardner might have been issued his release before the session in the cage ended. Jeter said that he felt he was able to move around the field well.
"You guys know I don't like talking about this kind of stuff; everything's fine," Jeter said. "It's not broken. There's nothing wrong with the tendons. The soreness is going to be there.
"It's going to be there for a while, so you just deal with it. Some days are going to be better than others, but eventually it goes away, so you just get through it as best you can."
Cashman said that he could tell by Jeter's demeanor at a Boys & Girls Club charity event on Thursday that the shortstop's condition was improving.
"I was encouraged when I saw him at the charity event yesterday, because you could see his face," Cashman said. "He was happy. You could see him smiling and stuff, so you knew he was feeling good."
For Jeter to be ready to play on Opening Day, April 1 against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees will want him to prove that he can at least play back-to-back days without any issues, even if he does not play the full nine innings of a Minor League contest.
Jeter said that it will not matter to him if he does not see another big league pitcher this spring, and that he has not been told what his next steps will be.
"I don't know what tomorrow will bring," Jeter said. "My goal is to get back and play as soon as I can, but I don't know. I really didn't do too much today; I didn't run the bases or play a simulated game or anything like that. It's a day-to-day thing."

Our Views: Rock County portion of property tax bill is reasonable
Rock County residents received 2014 property tax bills in recent days. These bills come at the same time as credit card bills inflated due to holiday shopping.
Many families wonder how they'll pay their tax bills, the first half of which are due Jan. 31. Residents also might wonder why the tax bills seem higher every year when wages remain stagnant. Who's most to blame? Which taxing authority is holding the line, and which boosted taxes the most?
For Janesville residents, five units of government take slices of property taxes. According to city documents, the state's levy, by far the smallest, decreased 2.63 percent compared to 2013. The Janesville School District's fell 0.10 percent. Blackhawk Technical College's inched up 1.4 percent. The city of Janesville's rose 2.39 percent. Rock County's climbed the most, 2.7 percent.
Wait a minute, you might say. Is that because the county seems to do business with little media scrutiny? Shouldn't the county hold the line better when it also charges a sales tax?
Rock County's books show spending will increase $11.24 million, or 6.22 percent, and that the county's overall tax rate will rise 2.26 percent. County Administrator Craig Knutson has reasonable explanations for both.
First, he suggests, it can be unfair to compare the county's tax rate to a municipality's because the county's rate is based on equalized property values. If, for example, the tax dollars needed remained the same but property values fell 50 percent, the county's tax rate would double. As it turned out, equalized values did dip almost 3 percent, meaning the county tax rate would have gone up even if spending was flat.
Second, Knutson points to where the extra money is going. Nearly half of the increase in capital expenditures is earmarked to improve County G, or Beloit Avenue, and build a new leg of county highway from Beloit's north side to Shopiere Road. The state and federal governments will pick up the largest share of the County G project because the road will serve as an alternate route during expansion of Interstate 90/39. The upgrade, however, will benefit the whole county, particularly when it improves Blackhawk Technical College access.
Third, almost half of the $5.6 million increase in operational monies will go to the efforts of seven counties to implement the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. While the money is divvied up between the seven, all of it is running through Rock County's books. Omit these dollars, and Rock County's operational expenditures rise only 1.9 percent.
In recent years, Knutson has tried to apply any expected increase in sales tax revenues to capital projects. That holds down borrowing costs. Capital investments not only benefit projects such as County G but other countywide needs such as switching from analog to digital emergency radio equipment.
County government involves much more than sheriff's patrols, snowplowing and the 4-H fair. The county operates our jail and a new nursing home. It cares for the elderly, the poor, the disabled, the mentally ill and children who need protective services. The county administers what state government directs, and Madison money stretches only so far.
Knutson has overseen county budgets for three decades. His explanations for 2014 taxing and spending are good ones. The fact that the county hears little public outcry from year to year says something about this astute administrator.

Note: Cross-posted on my professional blog at The Marshall Independent.
In my post on recommended reading for anyone whose interest in Cold War history has been piqued by the FX series, "The Americans" I provided a reading list of sources which have been authenticated to a reasonable degree.
There's something else I'd like to mention, but this is in the realm of pure speculation.
One of the sources I found when researching my review said there are estimates of "as many as 50 couples" like the couple portrayed in the series, in place in the U.S.
I have no idea how they got that figure or what it's worth. But some years back I heard a very intriguing rumor.
According to this, the United States was never able to put agents in place within the Soviet Union. Among other reasons, their society isn't as mobile as ours. They don't habitually move around the country looking for work, or just because they think they might like someplace else better. Most people grow up among people they've known all their lives.
For another, functioning in their society required a lot of documentation, official permissions etc that presented an almost insurmountable barrier to passing as a native.
What U.S. intelligence did was to have American handlers recruit locals to pass information with the promise that they and their families would eventually be extracted and taken to live in the U.S., as Col. Kuklinski's family was.
The Soviets on the other hand, had little trouble putting agents in place in our country. Constructing an identity is not terribly difficult. I understand it starts with touring cemeteries, looking for someone who died in childhood who would have been about your own age. You then write to the county records office and say, "I'm so-and-so and I'd like a copy of my birth certificate."
With the birth certificate you generate all the other documents you need. It won't pass a background check of the degree of thoroughness required to get a job with the FBI, but that's not the point. You can settle in a part of the country that's rich in information, and blend into society, hoping to cultivate the acquaintance of people who do have access to useful information.
No here's the rumor I heard. The Soviets could do that – but they tended to lose people.
Agents in place, like the couple in the series, would realize, "Life is good here. Life is not good back home."
If you've generated one identity, it's no trick to generate another and move somewhere else in this vast and varied country of ours.
So why not just defect? Turn yourself in.
Well, there's another rumor, and it's an ugly one.
The U.S. government did not in fact welcome all potential defectors with open arms. The reasoning is that unless they came with valuable information or skills, it was better to leave malcontents in place within Soviet society where they were a potentially disruptive influence.
We know defectors have been turned away. Vasilli Mitrokhin was, that's how the British got the KGB archives first.
There is a rumor that defectors who didn't have sufficiently valuable information were sometimes traded back. (I was told this by an Air Force noncom with a hobby interest in political and military history.)
So, blend in, lie low, and never tell your children.
I wonder about this. Are there living among us people who appear like any other of our countrymen, who were born half a world away?
I wonder if we'll ever know.

- Get Directions
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control recommends everyone over six months of age get the seasonal influenza vaccine. This is the most important step you can take in preparing for flu season and protecting yourself and your family. The appropriate time for receiving the flu vaccine is between October and December.
Beginning late September, many Baylor Scott & White clinics offer designated availability for the community to receive flu vaccinations, often on a walk-in basis. Vaccinations may also be administered at routine appointments. To schedule a routine appointment,
contact your clinic directly.
Note: The flu clinic schedules are subject to change based on vaccine supply. To confirm vaccine availability, please contact the individual clinic.
Collapse all | Expand all
Listed below are specifics groups who should be immunized:
The respiratory virus that is currently circulating in the United States is passed from person to person. Seasonal flu is spread by people infected with the virus who are coughing or sneezing. It can also be spread by touching something with flu viruses on it, such as a tissue or a doorknob, and then touching your mouth, eyes or nose.
You can protect yourself from the flu by washing your hands frequently with soap and warm water. You also can use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. You should also avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Stay away from people who are sick (especially if they have fever, cough and a sore throat). Get plenty of sleep, exercise regularly, manage stress, drink plenty of fluids and eat nutritious foods.
The most important thing you can do for you and your family in preparing for flu season is to get the flu vaccine. This important step is now recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for everyone over six months of age.
The flu shot cannot cause the flu. Some people may experience a little soreness or swelling where they receive the shot, but it goes away in a day or two. Serious problems from the flu shot are rare. Sometimes a person who gets a flu vaccine can get the flu, but it will often be milder than without the vaccine.
The most common symptoms are sudden onset of fever (half having a temperature greater than 100.4), cough, sore throat, body aches, chills, headache and fatigue. Some people have experienced diarrhea and vomiting as well. Stay home if you get sick. In most cases people with the flu will get better without medical attention. Wait to be around people until your fever has been gone for 24 hours without taking fever-reducing medications.
WARNING: Do not give aspirin or medications that contain aspirin to children 18 years and younger. If you are at risk for complications of influenza, call your healthcare provider.

The Chicago Park District is pleased to announce that the IBEW Local 134 union of indoor electricians will offer its members employed by the Park District enrollment in its Safety Rewards Program. The program aims to reduce on-the-job injuries and worker's compensation claims.
"The Chicago Park District strives to provide a safe environment for its patrons as well as for our employees," said General Superintendent and CEO Michael Kelly. "This collaboration will assist us in both working smart and safe."
"This is another example of how we are working together with our partners to build a better, safer and more efficient Chicago," said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. "Terry Allen and IBEW local 134 have been great partners to the City of Chicago and we appreciate them making this program available at no cost to Chicago taxpayers."
This type of program is normally estimated to cost $1 million. However, the IBEW will offer the Safety Rewards Program as a voluntary option for its members and manage it at no cost to the Chicago Park District. The program will offer bi-monthly safety meetings to ensure better planning as well as discussion of on-the-job situations and review of safety sheets.
Terry Allen, Business Manager of Local 134 IBEW in Chicago, said, "We believe this program will both protect the safety of our membership and encourage huge savings to the taxpayers of the City of Chicago. We have had great success with other municipalities administering the program and believe the Safety Rewards Program is a perfect fit for the Chicago Park District."
IBEW Local 134 currently has a successful program in place with Cook County. Since the program began, more than 140,000 man hours have been documented without the injured being absent more than five work days due to the accident. Local 134 envisions its safety program as the new industry standard.

High cholesterol is a health problem we often associate with adults, but children can also be affected. High cholesterol levels, along with other factors that put adults at risk for heart problems (high blood pressure, diabetes, lack of physical activity, and being overweight or obese), also put children at risk later in life.
For instance, high cholesterol levels play a role in forming fatty plaque build-up in arteries, causing the arteries to harden. This condition, known as atherosclerosis, can start in childhood. If not addressed, it can lead to coronary artery disease in adulthood.
Should My Child Be Screened?
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) recommends that all children have a cholesterol screening when they are between the ages of 9 and 11 years old. However, if high cholesterol levels run in your family or if your child has certain risk factors, he or she may need cholesterol screening before then. Discuss this with your child's doctor. All children should be checked again between the ages of 17-21 years.
There are 2 types of cholesterol often discussed: "good" cholesterol, also known as HDL cholesterol, and "bad" cholesterol, also called LDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is the main culprit of heart problems, so keeping levels low is important. For children, this means making sure that their LDL cholesterol level is less than 110 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter). Here are cholesterol level guidelines from NHLBI:
LDL Cholesterol Levels in Children and Teens 2-19 Years Old
Total Cholesterol Levels in Children and Teens 2-19 Years Old
Cholesterol Medication
Children older than 8 years old who have very high LDL cholesterol levels, usually 190 mg/dL or greater, may be given medications called statins. Statins work by lowering cholesterol levels in the blood. A doctor may prescribe this medication if your child has been diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia. Hypercholesterolemia is an inherited condition in which a person is born with high levels of LDL cholesterol. Diet and exercise may not be enough to lower the cholesterol levels to a safer level.
Healthy Lifestyle Tips
Regardless of your child's cholesterol levels, a proper diet and exercise are important to keep cholesterol levels under control, as well as maintain overall health. Here are some ways you can incorporate a nutritious diet and physical activity into your child's life:
- Encourage your child to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
- Choose lean meats. Lean cuts of meat (beef, pork, lamb) include round, sirloin, tenderloin, and chuck. For poultry, the leanest choice is skinless, white breast meat. Be sure to include fish, beans (peas, dried beans, lentils), and tofu in meals as healthy alternatives to meat.
- Limit foods that are high in cholesterol.
- Limit foods that are high in saturated or trans fat.
- Consume nonfat or low-fat milk and dairy products.
- When cooking, do not use solid fats. Instead, use vegetable oil.
- Avoid foods and drinks with a lot of sugar. Encourage your child to drink water.
- Those muffins, donuts, and cupcakes on the grocery store shelf may not be the best snack option for your kids. Opt for healthy snacks, like fresh fruit, vegetables with low-fat dip, popcorn, and low-fat yogurt.
- Get out and play! Encourage your young child to play as much as possible. As your child grows, encourage them to continue to be physically active every day. It's also important that you limit how much time your child spends watching TV, playing video games, and using the computer. Total screen time should be less than 2 hours a day.
Children will often look to adults as lifestyle examples. Therefore, to encourage healthy habits, it is important that the entire family is involved in eating right and exercising. Doing so will ensure that both you and your children can lead healthy lives together.

Sun Prairie holds off gritty effort by Craig
JANESVILLE--For long stretches on Thursday night, the Janesville Craig volleyball team hung right with state-ranked Sun Prairie.
In the end, however, the Cardinals always seemed to have an answer.
Sun Prairie overcame Craig's late rally in the first game and used a 13-4 run to come from behind in the second to sweep the Cougars, 26-24, 25-21, 25-16, in Big Eight Conference play.
"It was a fun night," Craig coach Blake Budrow said. "They're 23-0 now, so I'm very pleased with how we played. If we get one of those first two games, who knows?"
Sun Prairie, ranked No. 9 in the state in the most recent Division 1 poll, led for most of the first game and was up 24-17 before the Cougars came storming back.
Ali Calkins used one of her team-high six kills to get the serve to Craig junior Gabby Loveland. Loveland used her knuckleball-like serve, with a variety of speeds and placements, to run off six straight points and tie the game.
"If you stand behind it, it's one of the best float-serves there is," Budrow said. "It'll move two feet sometimes. But she also does a nice job of mixing it up."
The Cougars lost the serve out of a timeout, and Sun Prairie senior Emily Chaussee—who had a match-high 11 kills and four aces—put game one away with a big kill.
The two teams played back and forth in game two until it was 12-12 and the serve was back in Loveland's hands.
This time she served up five straight points, thanks in part to kills from Calkins and junior Aly Raymond.
"A lot of times you come out flat after you give so much effort to get back into it (in game one)," Budrow said. "But they came out and had that game, too, for a while."
Yet the Cardinals never wavered. Six-foot-3 junior Molly Livingston blasted back-to-back kills to grab some momentum back for Sun Prairie and Chaussee's ace capped off the 13-4 run that put the game away.
From there, game three was all Sun Prairie.
Loveland led the Cougars with three aces. Raymond and McKenzie Bertagnoli had five kills apiece and senior Kayley Hackett set up 22 assists.
"They have a little more height than we do, so we had to try to hit over the block, then their defense has a better chance of getting the ball up," Budrow said. "But it's probably the best match we played all year."
Craig, which fell to 2-2 in conference play, will try to carry momentum into an invite at Edgerton on Saturday.

Integrating large-capacity memory in advanced-node SoCs
1 Comment
In todays system-on-chip (SoC) designs, memory content can consume over 50% of chip area. In addition, the size of individual memories has grown to approximately 40 Mb of contiguous memory. This combined increase can significantly impact the overall power, performance, and area of the chip, as well as manufacturing yield. Successful integration of large-capacity memory in advanced-node SoCs requires the right approach.
Recent advances have made silicon interposer technology an alternative to consider (see figure 1). A silicon interposer consists of additional layers or even a separate chip designed to connect a processor with a separate block of memory. Using this technology in conjunction with through-silicon vias (TSVs), a processor can pass data to and from the external memory without paying the high price of additional pins. Interposer structure consists of multiple layers, however, which adds steps, time, and cost to the fabrication process. Despite the performance boost, the approach is still too expensive to be considered mainstream packaging technology.
An earlier approach to addressing the increase in memory content was the use of embedded DRAMs (eDRAMs). When the area of the eDRAM macro was one third to a quarter of the size of the equivalent embedded SRAM, eDRAM made economic sense, despite the extra processing costs. This solution did not scale well with advancing technology processes, however, resulting in SRAMs reducing in area much faster than eDRAMs, and thus reaching per-bit cost parity in 40 nm, even at 20-Mbit sizes. Furthermore, the prolonged development timelines of eDRAMs compared to the logic process made them even less attractive.
A good alternative solution is to use large-capacity SRAMs, which can dramatically reduce leakage and deliver higher system performance while keeping mask costs in check (see figure 2). The challenges of designing large memory blocks with embedded SRAM must be understood and best-in-class strategies must be employed to ensure chip-level power, performance, and area targets are met.
Considerations when designing large memory blocks
The default approach to implementing a large-capacity SRAM is to build it out of smaller blocks of memory. It is important to note, however, that coupling together smaller blocks to build a large-capacity memory may negatively impact both area and performance if not handled correctly. There are a lot of nets that need to run between and through the building blocks. In order to keep the area under control without using too many layers of metal, and to reduce the negative impact on implementation speed, it is important to keep the inter-block routing uncomplicated. Inefficient wiring also tends to slow down the performance of the memory, resulting in long access times and slow cycle times.
Dynamic and leakage power are particularly important concerns in large-capacity SRAM implementations. The total power dissipated by the combined memory must be less than the sum of the power dissipated by individual blocks of memory, or there may be no benefit over the basic implementation.
As we can see, there are implementation challenges related to timing, power, and area. To make the combined memory implementation worth doing, it must provide benefits in at least two of the three criteria and be on par in the third compared to the baseline implementation.

Abstract: The paradoxical growth (PG) of Candida sp. biofilms in the presence of high caspofungin (CAS) concentrations was previously unknown. We sought to characterize the PG at supra-MICs of CAS among clinical Candida sp. isolates grown as biofilms in 96-well polystyrene microtiter plates. The MICs of CAS were determined for 30 clinical Candida sp. isolates (4 Candida albicans, 6 C. tropicalis, 7 C. parapsilosis, 8 C. orthopsilosis, and 5 C. metapsilosis isolates) when they were grown as planktonic cells and biofilms and were defined as the lowest drug concentrations that resulted in a prominent decrease in growth and a 50% reduction in metabolic activity, respectively. PG was defined as a resurgence of growth (>50% of that in the drug-free growth control well) at drug concentrations above the MIC. With the exception of C. tropicalis, all isolates displayed PG more frequently when they were grown as biofilms than when they grown as planktonic cells. PG was undetectable among C. metapsilosis isolates in planktonic cell MIC tests but was present in 100% of the isolates in biofilm MIC tests. The drug concentration and the number of drug dilutions supporting PG were higher for biofilms than for planktonic cells. Microscopic changes in cell morphology were observed among both planktonic and biofilm cells with PG. Specifically, the accumulation of enlarged, globose cells was associated with PG, and we hypothesize that CAS-induced changes in the cell wall composition may be the explanation.

What are the goals of Education That Is Multicultural and Achievement in Maryland?
Education That Is Multicultural and Achievement (ETMA) is a process which involves schools and communities working to fulfill the following goals:
What are the responsibilities of local school systems in implementing Education That Is Multicultural?
Each local school system in Maryland is required to address multicultural issues related to curriculum, instruction and staff development in their Bridge to Excellence Master Plans. Plans reflect the responsibilities outlined in Education That Is Multicultural Regulations adopted by the State Board of Education in 1994 (COMAR 13A.04.05). Local school systems submit annual progress reports on ETMA to the Maryland State Department of Education.
What types of programs are implemented in local school systems?
Examples of school system programs include expanding curriculum guidelines to reflect a greater depth of information about the contributions of diverse groups, offering educator training, courses and leadership programs for staff on multicultural education, establishing multicultural education resource centers for use by educators, and providing educational activities to promote intercultural understanding and to address bias, prejudice and harassment.
What resources and services does the Maryland State Department of Education provide?
The Maryland State Department of Education maintains a reference collection of multicultural books and audio-visual materials and has published and distributed to all public schools "Multicultural Connections," an annotated multicultural resource directory for educators. Connections is also available online at www.marylandpublicschools.org
The Maryland State Department of Education reports progress to the State Board of Education and promotes an inclusive multicultural focus in state assessments, publications, and school improvement initiatives.
How are local school systems involved in the statewide implementation of Education That Is Multicultural and Achievement?
An Education That Multicultural and Achievement Network, comprised of representatives from all 24 local school systems, MSDE, and higher education meets monthly to share resources and programs, develop ETMA materials for use by schools and communities, and participate in professional development activities.
Where can I get more information about Education That Is Multicultural and Achievement?
Contact the MSDE Equity Assurance and Compliance Branch at 410-767-0425 or call your local school system central office for the name of the individual responsible for coordinating the implementation of Education That Is Multicultural. Information is also available through the "PROGRAMS" link on the MSDE website.

Mets outfield has more questions than answers
By Marty Noble / MLB.com
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Even now, with the Braves' Spring Training camp in its second day of operation, the firm of Schuerholz, Wren and Gonzalez can see the foul lines moving closer together on the Orlando field where the team's realigned outfield will patrol during exhibition games. The identical process is under way in Turner Field because the firm of Upton, Upton and Heyward will be operating there regularly come April.
The Braves anticipate the definition of the word "gap" to be applied to a significantly narrower tract anywhere B.J., Justin and Jason play this summer. And manager Fredi Gonzalez went so far as to suggest that the coverage of his revamped outfield may reach into the stands.
The same sort of expectations exist in the Indians' camp. In his return to a big league dugout, Terry Francona not only will be free from the clutches of the Green Monster and the odd configuration of Fenway Park's outfield in general, but he also will have three could-be center fielders -- Michael Bourn, Drew Stubbs and Michael Brantley -- at his disposal to help his tissue-paper thin pitching.
And the Angels in the outfield include Mike Trout, Josh Hamilton and Peter Bourjos. Nice.
The outfield dynamic in Port St. Lucie is decidedly different, and it will be in Flushing as well. The Braves, Indians and Angels are have-lots; the Mets are have-nots. The newly designed clubhouse has one vacant locker -- between those of David Wright and Mike Baxter. More than a few veterans, and the occasional executive have expressed hope that the vacancy will be filled by right-handed power, some speed and an outfielder's glove.
If not, the alignment of the Mets' outfield will be, left to right, Lucas Duda, a possible platoon of unprovens Kirk Nieuwenhuis and Collin Cowgill and some combination of Marlon Byrd, Mike Baxter, Andrew Brown and Jamie Hoffman, or Byrd alone if Terry Collins proves prescient.
Rare is the big league outfield with so little prowess. In speaking generally Saturday, Collins ended a sentence with "... we've got an entire outfield that has to be filled." And that assessment went unchallenged.
The Mets outfield may never be settled this year, unless Duda emerges as the genuine slugger the team needs and/or Byrd -- at age 35 -- performs as he did at age 31. A lot to ask in either circumstance, it seems.
The Mets have had a history of less-than-productive outfields. It must be in the franchise DNA. The majority of the most accomplished position players they have developed -- Darryl Strawberry, Edgardo Alfonzo, David Wright, Cleon Jones, Jose Reyes, Bud Harrelson, Hubie Brooks, Kevin Mitchell, Gregg Jefferies, Todd Hundley, Mookie Wilson, Rey Ordonez, Lenny Dykstra, Wally Backman -- have been infielders.
Only three of the Mets' 11 leading home run hitters -- Strawberry, Carlos Beltran and Kevin McReynolds -- have been full-time outfielders. Dave Kingman, fifth with 154, played first base in nearly 30 percent of his Mets games.
The 1969 team made its Miracle with limited power throughout the batting order -- except for first base -- for the second half of the season. Though Jones, in left, and Tommie Agee, in center, were critical to the team's offense, they combined for 14 fewer home runs and just two more RBIs than George Foster produced eight years later in his MVP season with the Big Red Machine. And the Mets' right-field assignment was shared.
The '73 team reached the seventh game of the World Series with merely one legitimate offensive force among its outfielders -- Rusty Staub, who drove in 76 runs and hit 15 home runs. Even the heralded '86 Mets lacked power at the traditional run-production positions by the time they reached the postseason. Foster (13 home runs, 38 RBIs) had been released in August, so the outfield had Strawberry (27, 93), Dykstra (8, 45) and Wilson (9, 45).
Not until 1987, after the club had obtained McReynolds, did the franchise deploy teams with sets of outfielders with genuine power at two positions. In the four seasons they played in the same outfield, Strawberry (144 and 390) and McReynolds (102 and 361) averaged 61 home runs and 188 RBIs as a tandem.
The current Mets would be delighted if their entire outfield produced at that rate this year.
The Mets team that reached the World Series in 2000 had an outfield that included Benny Agbayani, Jay Payton, Darryl Hamilton, Derek Bell and other, less notable players. It produced 59 home runs, the sixth-lowest total in the big leagues that season, and didn't approach 300 RBIs. The 231 runs batted in ranked 28th among 30 teams.
So why should this Mets outfield, the one that is to play behind an above-average infield, be any better? And yet, how can the outlook for any outfield be so glum? Duda has the defensive outfield skills of a designated hitter, but he has 30-homer potential. He hit 15 in 401 at-bats last season, and he's learning.
Nieuwenhuis needs to lower his strikeout rate dramatically. Cowgill is an unknown. And all the right field possibilities make for a stew of uncertainty.
Who can say? Matt den Dekker, the most gifted outfield defender in the organization, could interfere if he suddenly begins to make contact consistently and pushes his way into center field. The Mets believe his glove already is big-league primed.
Who can say anything otherwise? It was merely five years ago when Jeff Wilpon, repeating what Omar Minaya had told him, predicted a Mets outfield of the not-to-distant future that included Lastings Milledge, Carlos Gomez and Fernando Martinez. Wilpon never made mention of Beltran in that scenario. No matter, the three outfielders he did mention never did materialize as the Mets outfield of the present.
Some organizations produce outfielders in an assembly line fashion. See the Giants of decades ago, when Willie Mays was surrounded by the likes of Bobby Bonds, Leon Wagner, Willie Kirkland, the Alou brothers and Jackie Brandt. The A's of the '80s had Rickey Henderson, Dwayne Murphy and Tony Armas. The Blue Jays put Lloyd Moseby, Jesse Barfield and George Bell crammed into one outfield. The Big Red Machine and the Pirates of the '70s could outfit two teams with outfielders.
And the Mets of 2013 have one vacant locker.

Spell check can't catch all flubs
Spellcheck often helps The Gazette, its reporters and editors. But as readers know, that computer function isn't infallible, and neither are our eyes. Often, we find too late, haste makes waste.
Here are a few sentences that combine similar words that spellcheck won't catch and that we must pay close attention to:
Don't make a statue out of a state statute. Conversely, that veterans' memorial is no statute.
The state Capitol is in our state capital of Madison. How do we remember which is right? As former colleague Stan Milam once suggested to me, the word for the building with the dome has the "o."
Don't make a manger out of a city manager.
It's bad form to use "form" when you mean to write "from."
Don't get brain lock and reverse the "i" and "a" for a fellow named Brian.
Here's a good principle to remember: Don't call a school principal a principle.
You can lead a horse to water, but make sure it's not contaminated with lead. In contrast, don't use the word led unless the sentence is past tense—as in "The rider led his horse to water."
We won't put you on trial for doing so, but don't call a bike trail a trial.
And when writing about a public hearing, never, ever, leave the "l" out of the word public.

Slideshow: Looking back at early computers
11 comments post a comment
Highlights from an extensive collection of early minicomputers, mainframes, and instrumentation remind us just how amazing smart phones are.
While running the computer lab at the University of Wisconsin as a graduate student, Paul Pierce discovered a 1961 Packard Bell minicomputer taking up in an already crowded facility. He took it home, figuring it would be fun to fool around with. Little did he know it was the start of what would become a passion, after he graduated and went to work for Intel. "For a while I thought I would just collect a few minicomputers for the fun of playing with them and keeping them working, he says. I got on the DOD and GSA sales lists. I saw larger machines and noticed they always went to scrap. Eventually I realized that very few of the great old machines were being saved.
That was when he got serious about acquisitions. Today, he has amassed an extensive collection of early electronic equipment ranging from the oscilloscopes and analog computers to classic mainframes. Part of his criterion for collecting is to only purchase pieces that are either operable or can be fixed. As a result, he also acquires user manuals, software, cabling, and maintenance documentation.
Hes graciously allowed us to present some of those images here in a slideshow. To further explore his collection, stop by his site. Be warned, though, the time will fly by.

Wouldeghan Early Origins
Yorkshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the manor of Woodmansey. Later another branch of the family was found at Fenrother in Northumberland. "This place was at an early period held under the barons of Bothal, by the family of Fenrother. In the reign of Henry III., and subsequently, the Herons had possessions here; and among other owners have been the priors of Tynemouth, and the family of Woodman: it is now the property of Mr. Woodman, and the Duke of Portland."

The Securities and Exchange Commission's proposed regulations for the money fund industry would entail significant changes for prime funds that target institutional investors, changes that could discourage treasurers from using such funds. If the regulations are adopted, many treasuries are expected to shift cash out of prime funds to government or treasury money market funds, or to alternatives like bank accounts.
The SEC put forward two alternatives last week. One would require prime funds—those that invest in short-term corporate debt—for institutional investors to adopt a variable net asset value (NAV), instead of the constant, $1-a-share NAV that's now standard for money market funds. The requirement wouldn't apply to government money funds or funds for retail investors, which are defined as those that limit shareholder redemptions to $1 million a day.
The second proposal would require money funds to impose a 2% liquidity fee on redemptions if their minimum liquidity went below 15%; it would also allow the boards of funds to temporarily suspend investor redemptions in that situation.
Institutional investors have about $929 billion in institutional prime funds, said Brandon Semilof, a managing director at StoneCastle Partners, which invests in community banks.
"If these proposals go through as is, then there's a good chance that a lot of assets will be leaving prime institutional funds for other vehicles," said Semilof, adding that corporate treasurers are likely to move to Treasury and government money funds and to bank deposits.
Of course, the proposed requirement that prime funds move to a floating NAV was a step back from an SEC draft proposal last year that would have required a floating NAV for all money market funds.
And even when it comes to last week's SEC proposal, "things may not be as onerous as the headlines appear," said Lance Pan, director of investment research and strategy at Capital Advisors Group. For example, Pan noted, if a fund's securities have final maturities less than 60 days, they can still be priced at amortized cost. That provision might give institutional prime funds a way to maintain a NAV of $1 by keeping their maturity at 60 days.
Pan agreed that institutional investors would prefer a fixed NAV. If the floating NAV is required, absent some workaround involving shorter maturities, "I would imagine a third or even half of the people will want to go that fixed-NAV route through Treasury and government funds," he said
Floating NAV also poses issues for corporate treasurers in terms of the accounting and tax treatment of their money funds. "Putting your money in and pulling it out with a floating NAV, you have either capital appreciation or capital depreciation over time," said Ian Rasmussen, senior director in the fund and asset management ratings group at Fitch Ratings. "Even minute changes would have to be reported."
But that problem may also have solutions. According to Reuters, SEC officials say they hope the IRS will let investors in money funds with floating NAVs report on those positions just once a year. And SEC Commissioner Daniel Gallagher said when the proposal was released that from an accounting standpoint, investors in funds with floating NAVs might still be able to treat those investments as cash equivalents because the fluctuations in the NAVs would be so small.
Rasmussen also expects some assets to shift from prime institutional funds to government funds if the floating NAV requirement goes into effect, and said that could pose a challenge for the fund industry because government funds are already dealing with a tight supply of government securities. "I don't believe the government funds could take all of the institutional investors looking to move into government funds," he said.
Semilof sees "significant headwinds" for companies moving money into either government money market funds or bank accounts. Given the limited supply of government securities, "there's probably going to be a period when Treasury and government funds will no longer accept new deposits," he said. And to the extent that corporate treasurers buy Treasury or government agency securities directly, rather than investing via money funds, they contribute to the supply shortfall, he said.
Nor are banks eager for more deposits. "The appetite for deposits is sitting at historical lows," Semilof said. "We're hearing rates are de minimis. If you are getting an earnings credit rate, banks are lowering your earnings credit rate."
Fitch Ratings' Rasmussen sees the possibility that over time, treasurers may become more comfortable with floating NAV. "A lot of the funds are disclosing their shadow NAV for the prime funds on a daily basis now," Rasmussen noted. "Those shadow NAVs are very stable over time; they don't change much."
Longer term, as treasurers became more familiar with floating NAV, they may also feel more comfortable about using some of their cash to go a little farther out the curve to pick up yield, Rasmussen said. "We've already seen managers start to anticipate that kind of market," he said, noting that a couple of investment managers have set up ultra short-term bond funds.
BlackRock began offering the Ultra-Short Obligations Fund late last year, and Legg Mason's Western Asset Management unit filed to offer the Western Asset Ultra Short Obligations Fund. The ultra short-term bond funds will not have a stable NAV, but they will offer somewhat higher yields than money funds, Rasmussen said.
Semilof also expects treasurers to divide cash into buckets and consider short-term investments other than money funds for cash they won't need to use for some time. "Seven years ago, five years ago, it wasn't unusual to see a corporation keep a majority of their cash in a money market fund," he said. "People realize now that the cost of utilizing a vehicle that offers daily liquidity is pretty high, and it's not necessary to keep 100% of their cash in a money market fund."
Investors will have plenty of time to figure out what to do. The SEC has set a 90-day comment period, which will be followed by reviews and then the writing of rules. Observers said the proposal could change considerably during that period.
"It's going to be a very long process," said Capital Advisors Group's Pan, citing a two-year implementation period for the floating NAV proposal if it is approved, which would push implementation back to late 2015 or early 2016.

However, the medical field boasts many different divisions within it, offering areas of specialty that make one doctor more qualified than another and one surgeon better prepared to administer a complex surgery than one who does not practice that type of medicine. When searching for a physician, it's important to find out information like where the doctor did his or her residency, what staff the professional was trained with, and more. Read below to find the definitions for some of the major medical specialties.
