IBM Watson Advances a New Category of Cognitive Computing
IBM Watson blends existing and innovative technology into a new approach called cognitive computing. At the simplest operational level it is technology for asking natural language-based questions, getting answers and support appropriate action to be taken or provide information to make more informed decisions. The technology relies on massive processing power to yield probabilistic responses to user questions using sophisticated analytical algorithms. A cognitive system like Watson accesses structured and unstructured information within an associated knowledge base to return responses that are not simply data but contextualized information that can inform users' actions and guide their decisions. This is a gigantic leap beyond human decision-making using experience based on random sources from the industry and internal sets of reports and data.
This innovative new approach to computing is designed to aid humans by working with natural language – English in the case of today's Watson. This approach earned Watson the 2012 Technology Innovation Award in the category of Overall Operational Innovation.
For those of you who are not used to the word cognitive, the foundation of cognition is the sum of all the thinking processes that contribute to gaining knowledge for problem-solving. In computational systems these processes are modeled using hardware and software; machine-based cognition thus is a step toward imbuing an artificial system with attributes we typically consider human: the abilities to think and learn. Watson builds on a foundation of evidence from preexisting decisions and knowledge sources that it can load for reference in future inquiries. The evidence-based reasoning that Watson employs to answer question is part of the big deal in its approach.
Watson supports three types of engagement – ask, discover and decide – that take natural language questions, find facts to support a decision process, then gets probabilistic guidance on decisions. This goes beyond search and retrieval technology; machine learning and processing of questions using very large volumes of data, commonly referred to as big data, is the foundation on which Watson as a cognitive system operates. Most important is the continuous learning method and what I would call adaptive intelligence. While machine learning and pattern-based analytics are part of the cognitive system, the ability to process big data efficiently to provide a probabilistic set of recommendations is just the kind of innovation many industries need.
IBM has focused much of its work on Watson on healthcare, with potential life-saving implications in an environment where doctors must make crucial decisions in the midst of pressure from the complexity, costs, overload of information and policies. Watson can ingest large volumes of information from reports and documents that can accelerate its learning processes to support a range of healthcare needs. Watson can be used in three areas in healthcare: teaching, practice and payment. IBM works with Wellpoint to support doctors in making decisions, and also eliminating waste or misapplied treatments that insurance providers have to cover. Watson is being used today to determine where improvements can be made in cancer treatment. IBM has targeted specific Watson solutions to help in the research, diagnosis and treatment, care and utilization aspects of battling cancer.
IBM has a huge opportunity to bring innovation to business through the use of Watson, and has been experimenting with a number of deployments to test its potential. Innovative technology is a priority today for business improvement initiatives (60%) and to improve the quality of business processes (57%) – the top two factors driving technology selection according to our business technology innovation benchmark research. IBM has been working with organizations in healthcare and financial services, but believes Watson could be useful in just about every industry that must have what I call better situation intelligence that must accommodate current conditions and preexisting information to determine the best answer. While IBM will not be the only supplier of cognitive systems, it is pretty much the sole supplier of one that can be purchased and adapted to a business today. IBM is still working to improve the methods by which its cognitive system operates, as well as the interface with which it delivers answers. As IBM moves forward, it will be challenged to create attractive packages and prices for Watson and its computing technology (i.e. hardware, memory, storage and processing potential), as this new approach is not something that organizations have experienced before. Despite this challenge, IBM Watson represents a step forward that the IT and technology industry does not see very often. After my assessment of IBM Watson at the IBM Analyst Insights (Twitter: @AnalystInsights) where I got to have an in depth discussion with the leaders of IBM Watson provided more insight to what is possible with the technology and path for its investments into its cognitive system. I would recommend that organizations take a look at the future of business technology computing that will be able to make a significant impact on the operations of any organization.

main index
Ahahahahahahah!The 18th Discworld novel, and the fourth or fifth in the 'witches' theme. Its purpose within the theme is to bridge Lords and Ladies and Carpe Jugulum, which it does by means of an extended parody of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical version of The Phantom of the Opera.With the loss of Magrat to her royal calling, Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax find themselves with a coven of two. Their eye falls on the expansive Agnes Nitt, who prefers calling herself Perdita X Dream (or, as the women of Lancre say, "that girl who calls herself Perditax"). Agnes, though, has no interest in witches, and wants to be an opera singer. Stealing away to Ankh-Morpork, she soon finds herself (and her amazing voice) as a vocal understudy to the skinnier but much dumber and less melodious Christine.As it turns out, opera is much less about singing and more about superstition, mysterious strangers coming out of mirrors, vicious murders, and catty sniping. Oh, and losing buckets of money, much to the chagrin of the opera's owner. As it just so happens, Nanny and Granny have their own business in Ankh-Morpork, and are not above giving young Agnes a hand, regardless of whether she wants it or not.Preceded by Interesting Times, followed by Feet of Clay. Preceded in the Witches series by Lords and Ladies, followed by Carpe Jugulum.

Watson's Writings: Antiques and Decorating
What you might not know is that I have a knack for certain things outside politics. Oh yes, it's true!
As hard as that is to believe, I wanted to give you all an insight into my mind so that you may a) learn more about who I am and b) perhaps learn something interesting about some aspect of life and culture that you might not otherwise have been exposed to.
Antiques are not just for collectors. Bored by the old standbys home owners are beginning to look towards antiques as a way to add simple elegance to the spaces in their home. Check out the forgotten items in moms attic, or better yet start shopping at thrift stores and garage sales to find decorative items to your home that look great and have a great history.
Kitchen Antiques
The kitchen is a great place to start to decorate your home with antiques. One of my favorites are those bright orange copper utensils that used to be so popular. They create a great focal point when used as a wall display. Another good idea is mixed matched antique china plate ware. This can also be used on a wall, or displayed on a shelf.
For your counter tops you can find beautiful and unique canisters that not only look good but are functional. Don't worry about finding a complete set, mismatched decorating adds a whimsical charm to the kitchen.
The bathroom is another place where antique collectibles can be put on display. A vintage beard trimmer displayed on a unique hand held mirror takes one back in time (much different but more aesthetically pleasing than what you see today, even over at BeardInstitute.com). Similarly old shaving utensils like straight razors, soap, and soap brush make for a manly look – and who knows, you might actually want to be using them! Lots of men are turning to the past to get the best look possible. You can also find combs and brushes to complete the set. Countertops may also be dressed up with old perfume bottles.
For the walls look for simplistic antique pictures that go with the color scheme of the bathroom. If it is muted, use bright antique prints with large solid colored images. If your bathroom is already brightly painted, try the opposite effect with antique black and white prints.
Living Room
In your living room, or as they say in the antique world the parlour, you can really display your own personal style and use items that stimulate conversation. Some enthusiasts may go all out and use a combination of antique furniture pieces. You don't have to make that big of an investment to get the sophistication of decorating with antiques.
Thrift stores and boutiques are loaded with antique bric-brac that can brighten up any living space. Candle stick holders, vases, and printed throw pillows are just a few of the ways you can put your love for the vintage on the display.
Using antiques in the bedroom can create a romantic space that is irresistible. Antique bed side tables, lamps and oil prints will all transform your bedroom into a luxurious hide away built for romance. Take your time in picking the perfect accessories that reflect your own personality while inciting relaxation.
There is so much more to antiques than just buying and selling them for profit, or tucking them away in the cellar. Use the items that you love as display pieces in your home to create a unique space of sophistication and warmth.

What's Hiding in Your Vendor Inventories?
What Can a Provider Do to Address Inventory Reconciliation Issues?
Many hospital business offices only perform spot checks or "rough reconciliations" due to the volume of activity, inaccessible account data and limitations with patient accounting system. Many hospitals also use time consuming, manually intensive account matching, thinking they can solve their reconciliation problems with human intervention. While better than doing nothing, they are insufficient.
The scale and scope of the previously mentioned research plus the trend to use more outsourcers in business office processes suggest providers and their vendors need to enhance key routines:
- Check placement files for misplaced accounts and identify root causes of problems. Despite their best efforts, hospitals do occasionally send a handful of accounts to a vendor that either should not have been sent to a vendor or were already sent to a vendor. When this happens, it is critical that the accounts are identified, inventory records are corrected, and the underlying reasons for the account being incorrectly placed are identified and corrected.
- Reconcile balances for all accounts in placement and recall files. It is not sufficient to simply confirm receipt of the placement file and total number of accounts. Individual account balances need to be verified as well, preferably by cross checking account-level financial transactions.
- Reconcile full inventory at each vendor, at least monthly. Given the compounding effect of problems over time, full reconciliation at least monthly is necessary. In many situations, weekly reconciliation of the entire inventory may be appropriate.
- Update policies and procedures and monitor adherence. A number of inventory issues are created as a result of inadvertent customer service activity, such as incorrectly moving or closing an account or applying an incorrect transaction code. A good practice is to review policies and procedures at least once per year to check that they are up to date, cover all reasonable situations and are understood by employees in the business office and at vendors. The provider also needs to monitor adherence to these policies and procedures.
- Ensure comprehensive and common reporting. Numerous hospitals unknowingly rely on incomplete information or reports generated using different variable definitions. Having accurate reports that are common across vendors to track inventory reconciliation is central to having clean, accurate account inventories.
Long term, cost effective approaches generally are technology enabled, automating the exception identification process.
Ultimately, whenever a provider corrects existing inventory reconciliation issues and prevents new ones from occurring, they are improving the patient experience, reducing operating costs and compliance risks, and enabling their vendors to be more effective. It is a true win-win-win experience.

Slide Show: Maurice's Pastries, Desserts, and Sweet Style
Posted Jan 7, 2014, 2:00pm
Kristen Murray has serious chops. She cooked her way through big time New York kitchens like Gramercy Tavern and Aquavit, alongside the legendary Alsatian pastry chef, Christine Ferber, and locally at Paley's Place. When she finally quit fast-paced restaurant kitchens in pursuit of her dream spot nearly two years ago, Portland's sweet tooth let out a resounding "huzzah." Two weeks in to Maurice, Murray is just beginning to stock her larder. We sampled some of her early creations, from butter-laden pastries and playful lunch snacks in the morning to composed, elegant desserts and sweet, bubbly wine pairings at night.

Analog Devices Inc. introduced the AD9675 8-channel ultrasound analog front end (AFE) with on-chip RF decimator and JESD204B serial interface, designed for mid- to high-end portable and cart-based medical and industrial ultrasound systems. The device integrates eight channels of low-noise amplifier, variable-gain amplifier, anti-aliasing filter, and 14-bit A/D converter with the industry's highest sample rate (125 MSPS) and best SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) performance (75 dB) for enhanced ultrasound image quality. The on-chip RF decimator enables the ADC to be oversampled providing increased SNR for improved image quality while maintaining lower data I/O rates. The 5-Gbps JESD204B serial interface reduces ultrasound system I/O data routing compared to other data interface standards by as much as 80%. These features simplify ultrasound board design, while better addressing industry demand for higher data rates, larger channel counts and greater image resolution. A second model, the AD9674, offers the same basic functionality but is available with standard LVDS interface. The AD9675 and AD9674 are the latest additions to Analog Devices' award-winning octal ultrasound receiver portfolio.
The AD9675 and AD9674 are available in a space-saving 144-ball, 10 mm x 10 mm BGA package and are pin compatible with the AD9670/AD9671, providing easy migration for those designs that require a reduced cost and limited digital functionality.

In an emergency action, the Texas NAACP, and other civil rights groups, asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stop Texas from enforcing Senate Bill 14. But, the conservative-led Court sided with the state, and upheld the strictest voter photo identification law in America, giving the civil rights community yet another defeat.
Like most people, Sergeant Matt Darisse believed driving with a broken tail light is against the law. He was wrong. On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard if ignorance of the law is no excuse for police officers as well as private citizens. This is the first case of the Supreme Court's new term.
Muslim inmates sued to grow beards in Arkansas. The U.S. Supreme Court will decide if they have a religious right to do so. That Court will also rule on Facebook threats and police practices, pension plans and death row executioners, voting rights and a White supremacist's conviction. The Court selects about 200 cases from the thousands of requests it receives.
September 17th is Constitution Day. Since African-Americans have worked so hard to make the promises in the Constitution a reality, they should use Constitution Day to mark their contributions to justice under law. But, most Americans never heard of Constitution Day.
On September 17, 1787, the date the U.S. Constitution was signed in Philadelphia, Black civil rights activist Prince Hall was protesting the exclusion of free Black children from public schools in Boston. African-Americans had been, and would continue, fighting for their Constitutional rights.
Ferguson shows there is still power in protest. In Ferguson, Missouri, hundreds marched after the shooting of Michael Brown, 18, Black, and unarmed, by a White officer. Standing face-to-face with police in full riot gear, the Ferguson protesters tapped into the power of protest similar to the days of the Civil Rights era.

WWDC 2013 now sold out
WWDC tickets went on sale today, and the event sold out within minutes. This year, Apple developers were prepared to buy their tickets as the company pre-announced the ticket sales one day in advance. In previous years, the conference was announced and tickets went on sale at the same time.
If you didn't get a ticket this year, Apple is streaming the video from the sessions during the event. You won't get the full experience of being at the conference, but you will get a lot of the important parts. WWDC 2013 will be held from June 10 to 14 in San Francisco.
