Business is booming for datacenters in Asia
Summary: While some pundits claim datacenter growth is slowing, you couldn't tell by looking at the Asian market
It's been a busy week for the datacenter business in Asia as no fewer than three new major datacenter sites have been announced or opened their doors. And it's only Thursday.
It's not much of a surprise that the datacenter business in Asia is booming. Not even including India, which is taking its own path into the world of the modern internet, Asia represents the fastest growing sector of connected users and businesses. This week's new datacenter openings reflect a good cross-section of the ways that datacenters are being used worldwide.
In Japan, Oracle announced the availability of a new datacenter designed to support the Oracle Right Now cloud service. Built completely on Oracle engineers systems the datacenter brings the Oracle RightNow Web Experience, RightNow Social Experience, RightNow Contact Center Experience, RightNow Engage, and RightNow Service Experience Platform to Asian customers from a local datacenter, which Oracle said will provide better control and management of the flow of data than running from a datacenter located on the other side of the world.
In China, Pacnet opened a 14,000 square-meter tier 3 datacenter facility that is carrier neutral and can support up to 2,000 high-density, power-hungry racks. The datacenter provides direct access to Pacnet's point of presence in China, as well as their wholly owned undersea cable infrastructure. The datacenter is targeted at enterprise and carrier customers doing business in China, but at this time, Pacnet has not disclosed any information on the tenants of the new facility.
In Singapore, Equinix announced that it would be adding a third datacenter in Singapore; a 385,000 square-foot facility that will support up to 5,000 racks. Targeted at financial and cloud services companies, the datacenter is scheduled to open in Q2 of 2014.

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Lee County Commissioners need to make major cuts to balance a nearly $70 million budget shortfall. Tuesday is the first of three scheduled budget workshops for the commissioners. They are working to trim expenses and it seems everything is up for discussion at this point.
The budget committee handed over a 120 page document targeting items that could be reduced or cut altogether in order to make up the difference. That means everything from overtime to janitor services, to maintenance of vehicles are all on the block.
Employees likely face furloughs and paying for individual health insurance.
Another suggestion to save more than five million a year would cost nearly two thousand Lee County workers, 11 paid holidays.
Budget planners want commissioners to raise the tax rate but they are suggesting a smaller raise next year, 35 cents per 1000 dollars of property value.
Earlier they talked about a one dollar increase but a majority of commissioners rejected that.
The budget should be finalized by September 23rd.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) Kentucky coach John Calipari might have raised the bar out of reach even for himself with this year's recruiting class.
After luring some of the nation's top prospects the past several seasons to Lexington, Calipari has six high school All-Americans in his latest eight-player freshman group. Not since Michigan's "Fab Five" rookie lineup in 1991-92 has so much prep talent been assembled; These Wildcats freshmen are already being mentioned as the best class ever.
For them to live up to such lofty expectations, Calipari will have to pull off one of his greatest balancing acts: find enough minutes to satisfy the highly talented individuals expected to win Kentucky's ninth national championship and perhaps even go unbeaten.
Kentucky opens the season Friday against UNC-Asheville ranked No. 1.

Five Things Weird Al Critiques in Mandatory Fun

It's often difficult to critically analyze a much-beloved artist, because the reviewer's tendency is to excuse irksome traits or loathsome sonic detours simply because of past greatness. And so while it's tempting to give Morrissey a free pass for hauling in a children's choir for several songs on his eighth solo studio album in fact, the sing-songy rugrats add to the creepy patricide vibe on the otherwise brilliant pop stomp "The Father Who Must Be Killed" ultimately their soprano nattering leaves a sour taste. Still, Morrissey has included enough sterling moments on Tormentors to redeem this misstep. Ballads are downplayed (and, when present, possess vaguely electronica undertones à la Massive Attack) in favor of brisk guitar songs swelling with strings and choruses that ascend like a hot-air balloon. Fans will recognize the best bits of Moz's career in these rock excursions from the slow chug of "Everyday Is Like Sunday" to Southpaw Grammar's dramatic fuzz-swoops and Vauxhall and I's muted majesty and even some new tricks; see the no-wave trumpet bleats on the fab punk buzz "I Just Want to See the Boy Happy." While 2004's You Are the Quarryoften focused on Moz's struggle for ethnic identity, Tormentors largely sticks to personal topics: losing (and finding!) love, redemption and rebirth all with rejuvenated cheekiness, as on the string-laden standout "To Me You Are a Work of Art" ("And I would give you my heart /That's if I had one"). Even the expected filler on the disc isn't embarrassingly maudlin or cheesy, making Tormentors another triumph.

|BC's Brian Mihalik, Josh Keyes named to ACC weekly honor roll
|10.14.14 at 9:59 am ET
Brian Mihalik was named ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week after recording his first career interception in Saturday's 30-14 victory at NC State. Josh Keyes was named co-ACC Linebacker of the Week after recording a career-high 10 tackles in the game.
Mihalik, a 6-foot-9, 295-pound senior from Avon Lake, Ohio, also had a key sack in Saturday's game, giving him 3.5 sacks on the year.
Keyes, a 6-foot-2, 223-pound senior from Ghent, New York, had two tackles for loss, including his team-leading fourth sack of the season. Keyes is second on the team with 32 tackles. This is the second time this season Keyes has been honored by the league.
The Eagles (4-2, 1-1 ACC) host 24th-ranked Clemson on Saturday.
|BC QB Tyler Murphy, OL Andy Gallik, LB Josh Keyes earn ACC honors for roles in win over USC
|09.15.14 at 3:03 pm ET
Following Saturday night's stunning 37-31 victory over ninth-ranked USC, Boston College dominated the ACC honors that were handed out Monday.
Quarterback Tyler Murphy was named Offensive Back of the Week, center Andy Gallik was tabbed Offensive Lineman of the Week and Josh Keyes was selected Linebacker of the Week.
Murphy rushed for 191 yards, the second-highest total by a quarterback in ACC history. He averaged 14.7 yards per carry against a USC defense that came in allowing just 4.0 yards per rush through two games. Murphy's 66-yards touchdown run in the fourth quarter put the game away, giving BC a 37-24 lead with 3:30 remaining.
Gallik, like Murphy a graduate student, helped the Eagles rush for 452 yards and total 506 yards of offense — the second time this season the Eagles have passed the 500-yard mark.
Keyes had eight tackles, including seven solo and 5.5 for loss, and helped limit the Trojans to 20 rushing yards in the game. He had a key sack of USC quarterback Cody Kessler on a third-down play in the fourth quarter with BC protecting a 10-point lead.
|BC coach Steve Addazio on MFB: Saturday night win over USC 'most electric atmosphere I've been in since I've been at Boston College'
|09.15.14 at 2:44 pm ET
Boston College football coach Steve Addazio, riding high after Saturday night's upset of ninth-ranked USC, joined Middays with MFB to recount the monumental win. To hear the interview, go to the MFB audio on demand page.
The game was dedicated to the memory of Welles Crowther, a former BC lacrosse player who died during the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, after leading a number of people to safety at the World Trade Center. Crowther, known for wearing a red bandanna, returned to the South Tower to rescue more people when the building collapsed.
BC players wore red bandanna-patterned designs on their helmets and other parts of their uniform to pay tribute to Crowther.
"I'm a big believer in the emotional side, in the passion side of the game," Addazio said. "Obviously if you don't have your X's and O's and your fundamentals right, you're not going to overcome it with just that. By why not both? Why not play with that passion and that high energy and that emotion. It's what the game is all about to me, and that's what I love about the college game.
"Having a chance to be a part of that red bandanna game to honor Welles Crowther and everything that he stood for. … All that we've been hearing all week long [about NFL players misbehaving], it's kind of made my stomach turn. But now let's talk about a great story, a story about a guy that was unselfish, that gave of himself, gave his life to save other people. That's kind of what the BC 'service for others' is — obviously that's an extreme, but that's what it's all about."
Addazio said he gave the team "a little history lesson" about 9/11 and talked about how Crowther was "one of our own," a BC athlete who went on to leave a lasting mark outside the world of sports.
"Kids need to hear more about [Crowther's heroics]. They don't need to hear more about elevators and everything else," Addazio said. "They need to hear more about, to me, the true greatness that lies in a lot of people. And this was an unbelievable story. Being a part of it, and being around his parents after the game, it was just moving."
|ACC football media predict BC to finish 6th in Atlantic Division
|07.21.14 at 1:26 pm ET
Steve Addazio took a big first step in leading the Boston College football team back to respectability last season, but apparently those who cover the ACC are not convinced the Eagles have turned the corner.
In a poll of media members at the ACC Football Kickoff in Greensboro, N.C., BC was predicted to finish sixth of seven teams in the ACC Atlantic Division.
BC went 7-6 in Addazio's first season at BC in 2013 — rebounding from a 2-10 finish the year before — but the Eagles lost Heisman Trophy finalist Andre Williams, who led the nation with 2,177 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns, and will break in a new quarterback as well.
Defending national champion Florida State, which returns 15 starters, was the runaway winner to capture another league title, grabbing 109 of 112 first-place votes to win the Atlantic and 104 votes to win the ACC championship game. Only Clemson and Virginia Tech, with two each, received votes to finish as ACC champion.
In the Atlantic, following Florida State (780 points) is Clemson, which had three first-place votes and 660 points. Then there's league-newcomer Louisville (564 points), Syracuse (368), N.C. State (326), BC (301) and Wake Forest (136).
Voting was split in the Coastal Division. Miami leads the way with 26 first-place votes and 614 points, followed by Duke (33 first-place votes; 597 points), Virginia Tech (23 and 571), North Carolina (27 and 570), Georgia Tech (1 and 322), Pittsburgh (2 and 319) and Virginia (142).
Reigning Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston is expected to repeat as ACC Player of the Year, as the Florida State quarterback garnered 99 points. He's followed by Clemson defensive end Vic Beasley (6 points), Miami running back Duke Johnson (1), Duke wide receiver Jamison Crowder (1) and Virginia Tech quarterback Brenden Motley (1).
|New BC basketball coach Jim Christian accepts 'Cold Water Challenge'
|06.26.14 at 8:28 am ET
The #Chillin4Charity "Cold Water Challenge" is a fundraiser in which coaches get a bucket of ice water dumped on their head to raise awareness and money for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
Coaches challenge their peers to get doused within 48 hours or donate $250 to the cause, named for the N.C. State women's basketball coach who died of cancer in 2009.
New Boston College basketball coach Jim Christian accepted the challenge Wednesday, with help from some of his players.
|Yale basketball player Brandon Sherrod leaves team to join school a capella group
|05.14.14 at 11:44 am ET
The Yale basketball team finished this past season 19-14 overall and 9-5 in the Ivy League — good for second place behind Harvard — and the Bulldogs are expected to challenge for the top spot in the conference again next year.
However, the team will do so without one of its key players, forward Brandon Sherrod.
The 6-foot-6 junior from Bridgeport, Conn., decided he would accept an invitation to join Yale's prestigious Whiffenpoofs all-male a capella singing group and take next year off.
"This is supposed to be THE year, and you want to play with your guys," Sherrod told The Associated Press. "But the Whiffenpoofs is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
The Whiffenpoofs, formed in 1909, gives rising seniors at Yale the opportunity to take off a year from studies and travel the world — every continent but Antartica is on the schedule for 2014-15.
Coach James Jones accepted Sherrod's decision and said he would welcome the player back the following year. Sherrod started 14 games last season, averaging 6.8 points and 4.3 rebounds. He played 22 minutes in the Bulldogs' 74-67 victory at Harvard on Feb. 8 — the Crimson's only league loss of the season.
"That's one of the things we talk about when we recruit kids is what is available at Yale and the different opportunities they're going to have," Jones said. "Brandon 's going to take advantage of one of them, and I understand."
|UMass' Derrick Gordon first openly gay Div. 1 men's college basketball player
|04.09.14 at 10:11 am ET
UMass guard Derrick Gordon announced in interviews with the media that were published Wednesday that he is gay, making him the first men's college basketball player to come out.
Gordon, a sophomore from Plainfield, N.J., said he told his family, coaches and teammates at the end of March and first days of April. He noted that he was inspired by the Nets' signing of Jason Collins, the NBA's first openly gay player.
"I just didn't want to hide anymore, in any way," the 22-year-old told ESPN. "I didn't want to have to lie or sneak. I've been waiting and watching for the last few months, wondering when a Division 1 player would come out, and finally I just said, 'Why not me?' "
Gordon started all 33 games this past season — his first at UMass after transferring from Western Kentucky, and averaged 9.4 points and 3.4 rebounds. However, he told Outsports.com that he considered walking away from the game because his teammates were treating him differently after rumors started to circulate about his homosexuality — which Gordon denied.
"That was probably the lowest point I was ever at," he told Outsports. "I didn't want to play basketball anymore. I just wanted to run and hide somewhere. I used to go back to my room and I'd just cry. There were nights when I would cry myself to sleep.
"Nobody should ever feel that way."
After the Minutemen lost to Tennessee in the NCAA tournament on March 21, he decided to make his sexuality public.
"I just had a lot of time to myself, thinking, and I didn't know what I was waiting for," he said.
Gordon told coach Derek Kellogg in a phone conversation on March 30 and then talked to the team — with Kellogg by his side — on April 2. Gordon said the team was supportive, with one player telling him, "We got you; you're one of us."
"Before, I usually just kept to myself because I didn't want to lie or be fake," Gordon said. "But not anymore. I feel so good right now. It's like this huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders."
|Shabazz Napier leads UConn past Kentucky for NCAA title
|04.08.14 at 6:27 am ET
Point guard Shabazz Napier scored 22 points as UConn posted a 60-54 victory over Kentucky in the NCAA championship game Monday night in Arlington, Texas, to give the Huskies their second title in four seasons.
Napier, a Roxbury product, was named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four.
Seventh-seeded UConn (32-8), which never trailed, took a 15-point lead in the first half. Kentucky (29-11) rallied to get within a point with 8:13 remaining, but the Huskies responded, pulling back ahead by a comfortable margin and not missing from the free throw line (10-for-10) to ice it.
It marked a quick return to power by UConn, which was banned from participating in last year's tournament due to its poor academic rating.
"You're looking at the hungry Huskies," Napier said in a postgame interview on the court. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is what happens when you banned us."

|Jim Christian 'tremendously excited and humbled' to take over as Boston College coach
|04.04.14 at 9:02 am ET
Boston College announced Thursday that Jim Christian would be the school's new basketball coach, and the 49-year-old expressed an eagerness to begin rebuilding the program.
"I am obviously tremendously excited and humbled to be able to take over a program with the tradition and history of Boston College," Christian said in a conference call. "If you look at the great coaches and success that they have had before me, it is a situation where you wake up every day and you just can't wait to get to work.
"I can't wait to get up there, meet our players and spend as much time getting to know them as I possibly can; and just go attack the things that we want. Again, I am just truly excited and grateful for the opportunity that Brad Bates and Father [William] Leahy have given me and I am going to make them proud."
After spending the last two seasons at Ohio University and 12 years as a head coach, Christian makes his return to the city in which he began his college playing career. Christian played two seasons at Boston University (1983-85) before transferring to Rhode Island and helping the Rams reach the Sweet 16 of the 1988 NCAA tournament. He takes over a team that struggled to break through the past four seasons under Steve Donahue.
"I always look at programs historically and not just where they're at right now," Christian said. "I think if you look at Boston College historically and the things they have accomplished, it excites you. Any coach wants to have his chance to compete against the very best. Obviously the ACC is the very best. For me, growing up in New York, going to school in Boston and graduating from Rhode Island, it is just kind of in my roots. These things come down to fits and you have to find a job that you think is just a great fit for you. There is no doubt in my mind that Boston College is a tremendous fit."
BC has received some criticism for a lack of a high-profile candidate during its coaching search, but Bates, who became BC's athletic director in 2012 after 10 years at Miami (Ohio), is confident he has the right leader.
"I had the benefit of watching Jim when we both worked in the MAC, so he has always been on my list as someone that I had a high regard for," Bates said. "During the process, he not only validated my impressions of him but he far surpassed them.
"In terms of characteristics, this sport is about recruiting and coaching. You have to get talented athletes that fit your institution and you have to develop them and coach them. Boston College has core values that you need in your coaches. We are about integrity. There has to be a development of our intellectual young men. You need a coach and a staff that can flat-out recruit and develop those kids with their coaching. Beyond that, we want to win. We wanted someone with championships and postseason appearances. Someone with New England roots was important. Someone with energy and passion and at the end of the day someone who is in this for the right reasons and who genuinely cares about his students. He was obviously right up there in the first round of interviews and after the second round he shot right up to the top."
|Reports: BC tabs Ohio's Jim Christian as basketball coach
|04.03.14 at 2:01 pm ET
Boston College has hired Jim Christian as basketball coach, according to multiple reports.
The 49-year-old Christian, who reportedly interviewed earlier in the week and returned to Chestnut Hill on Wednesday, has a 236-152 career record in 12 seasons at Ohio (2012-14), TCU (2008-12) and Kent State (2002-08).
A native of Bethpage, N.Y., Christian played at St. Dominic High School under Ralph Willard (who went on to coach at Western Kentucky, Pittsburgh and Holy Cross and now is a Louisville assistant). Christian started his college playing career at Boston University in 1983 — recruited by Rick Pitino, although Pitino exited as coach before Christian's first season — and transferred to Rhode Island for his final two seasons, helping the Tom Penders-coached Rams to the NCAA tournament's Sweet 16 as a senior in 1988.
After a year playing with the Sydney City Comets of the Australian Basketball Association, Christian served as an assistant coach at Western Kentucky (1990-92, '94-95), Saint Francis ('92-94), Miami ('95-96), Pittsburgh ('96-99) before joining Kent State in 2001.
After one year as an assistant with the Golden Flashes, Christian was promoted to head coach to replace Stan Heath, who left for Arkansas. Christian proceeded to win at least 20 games in six straight seasons, making NCAA tournament appearances and winning MAC Coach of the Year honors in 2006 and '08. He also made three NIT appearances, although Kent State lost its opener each of the five times it reached the postseason.
He parlayed that success into the head coaching job at TCU, where he went just 56-73 in four seasons. In his fourth season with the Horned Frogs, Christian guided the team to its first winning record (18-15) in seven years and a berth in the College Basketball Invitational.
Christian resigned at TCU and returned to the MAC in 2012 as coach at Ohio. In his first season, the Bobcats won a share of the league's regular-season title for the first time since 1994 and played in the NIT. This season, Ohio went 25-11 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament with wins over Cleveland State and Wright State before losing to VMI.

The food supply worldwide is under constant threat and effective test products that can ensure food safety are in demand. Microbial pathogens (primarily bacteria), viruses, environmental toxins, food allergens and adulterants, residues of drugs and agricultural chemicals can harm consumers if unchecked. In some countries, testing for Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) is also conducted to ensure food authenticity. According to Kalorama Information's Food Safety Diagnostics, The World Market, authored by Emil Salazar, there is an opportunity for IVD companies to adapt technologies used in clinical testing for these food safety purposes.
Beyond base demand from the food industry, laboratories and governmental agencies, market growth for the food safety diagnostics market has accelerated in the past five years through several market drivers in the United States, abroad, and internationally through the globalization of food. Current pressure on regulators and industry to ensure food safety is seemingly unprecedented in an age of mass media, consumer alert systems and industrialized food production that together have led to high publicized outbreaks and food safety recalls.
Analysis of the Market by Diagnostic Method and Disease Threats
Food Safety Diagnostics, The World Market, provides a detailed review of the opportunity for IVD companies to participate in the food diagnostic industry. A thorough explanation of food recalls, regulatory measures and market drivers provides a background. The report looks at the market from a dual perspective so that it can be most useful to companies interested in the market. It analyzes the market by the type of technology product: Immunodiagnostics, Microbiology and Molecular, as well as by target: Pathogens, Toxins, Agricultural Chemical/Veterinary Drug Residues, Allergens, and GMO/Authenticity. As part of its comprehensive coverage, the report includes the following important data:
The market scoping of this report and its distinction between food safety and food quality is informed by the definition of food safety as the presence or absence of hazards injurious or otherwise harmful to consumers. Numerous microbiological tests elsewhere termed food safety products or tests were determined in the course of market study to be irrelevant to the food safety diagnostics market. The two primary reasons for excluding non-pathogen microbiological tests:
A Clear Picture of the Competitive Landscape
The report presents the opportunity for IVD companies to enter the market though established players exist in the food safety diagnostics market, many with market shares estimable from company financial data and industry metrics. The competitive landscape of the food safety diagnostics market is fragmented. The following larger players are profiled in detail in this report.
Information for this report was gathered from a wide variety of published sources including company reports, catalogs, materials and public filings; government documents; trade journals; newspapers and business press; analysts' reports and other sources. Interviews with company representatives were conducted to capture the perspectives from industry participants' point of view and assess trends, and form the basis of the forecasting and competitive analysis.

New "casual place" by Iñaki Aizpitarte near/ next to Chateaubriand?
- Jake Dear Aug 21, 2010 08:49 PM
Back in May (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/7074...) I saw posted here, from PhilD: "I understood [Iñaki Aizpitarte] had dropped lunch at Chateaubriand as he was planning a casual place 'next door.' " And by Phyllis Flick in the same thread: "From what I've heard (and it was a very knowledgeable source) he is taking over Le Dauphin, which is right next to Chateaubriand at 131, ave. Parmentier, Paris 11th."
We'll be in the neighborhood pretty soon, and I'm wondering: Has this happened/ what's the status? -- Jake
I drove by this morning while on the bus and it doesn't look like renovations have gotten very far, although there was a light on, so hopefully they are working on it.
John and Phyllis, thanks for these responses. I know that these things take time -- and I look forward to your updates in the coming months. -- Jake
re: adrian
Thanks Adrian, I'll go to Eugene tmrw and check on I.A. later
re: John Talbott
I'm going to check on it later..
What's up with Le Fooding naming it among it's winners when it hasn't even opened? Shades of the Michelin fiasco a couple of years back, that created such an uproar, yet no one to my knowledge has even mentioned the untimeliness of Le Fooding's announcement. Am I missing something here?
The older I get, the less sense this old world seems to make.
re: Laidback
Yah, l'Express had a teaser too about it being about to open and what I.A. does on a sample weekend.
re: Laidback
>>> What's up with Le Fooding naming it among it's winners when it hasn't even opened?
Heh.. they know they're going to like it ;-) they don't even need to eat there.
They're just showing that they can do as good as the Michelin.
re: Ptipois
It reminds me of the expat blogger reaction to the new Spring..!
re: Ptipois
Do I mean in general? Maybe not. To me it is reminiscent of the automatic expectation that it will be without fault before a single mouthful of food has been consumed, and once opened there is a barrage of un-critical reviews. It sums up quite well on this thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/7167... and then is somewhat tempered by: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/7453... - my guess is that the "truth" lies somewhere between the two.
I am a fan of Iñaki Aizpitarte and Daniel Rose and like to see their success - I will be interested in the reviews after the initial hype and then inevitable "over correction" has taken place. Both important openings and both I will try when I next get time to get to Paris.
re: PhilD
I see what you mean. What I see in the first thread though is a lot of expectation, indeed, but no one really acts certain that the food will be flawless when they'll be able to taste it at last. They rather hope it will be at least as good as the old Spring. It is more about booking complications and - for some - overdramatizing the importance of getting a reservation as if their life depended on it. I see a lot of adoration but no real speculation over food that hasn't been tasted yet.
As for the second thread, it does look slightly like a case of burning-what-they-adored but I also see serious concerns about the opacity of the pricing and the result is disappointment, perhaps disproportionate as a consequence of former worship.
True, the two situations are structurally similar but I do see more of an attitude and a tad of cynicism in Le Fooding pinning an award onto an unopened restaurant and making up a non-food category for that. For Spring it's just fans expressing their feelings, for Le Fooding there's a bit of class pride added.
re: Maximilien
wow a post banned by the Rem Koolhaas architect's copyright ..
re: adrian
Wow a Fooding award for best décor awarded even before the décor is completed.
That goes far, far beyond my regular observation that Paris food bloggers tend to visit new restaurants even before the wall paint has dried. Le Fooding has taken the trend to an extremity that will be hard to match, even by the most futile. It's going to be hard for them to growl at bloggers now.
Why is it so important for some to be the first to review a restaurant, or for a respectable food media institution to do things in such a childish manner? Isn't it more important to make a sensible, unhurried review of it without making it an ego race? Just see to what lengths it takes them.
The go-go waiters are an important (and deliberate) element but not just for the expat blogger population.
I sincerely believe the food at Le Châteaubriand is at such a level of quality and creativity that seductive waiters should not be needed, but such is the folk-lore of the place and I am okay with it as long as the food is good.
re: Ptipois
Indeed. My experience there has always been hit or miss, up and down, mostly I think to do with Inaki's mood (or if he's even there! which isn't often the case..) . I think he's important, just don't think he deserves the level of adulation he has had (much of which from female expat bloggers) . I think it's a combination of funky food and sexy chef.........
re: adrian
Yes. The tragedy of Le Chateaubriand is that the level of adulation is a result of various elements, only one of which is food. I am a true believer in Inaki's talent but I also believe he tends to perform a few notches below it. Sometimes a stroke of grace happens and you know how great he is, or how great he'd be should he really want to appear so, sometimes you see the potential but also realize that he could do better, and sometimes he's just not there. The only thing I find interesting there is the food, the sexy attitude amuses me for all its tackiness, but would be infuriating if there weren't the promise of truly amazing food in the plates. Adulation is something that happens, I think in the case of Chateaubriand it was entirely built by the self-generated fan club, not by the team and certainly not by Inaki himself. Though it is clear that the waiters always did their utmost efforts to keep the show going.
re: Ptipois
I would add one qualification to your points which is the low(ish) price he delivers at. I think this allows some latitude to forgive lapses.
The other question I would throw out is, does this style of "avant-garde" food come with a degree of inherent risk? Iñaki like a few others (Adria, Aduriz etc) sits so close to the leading edge he, like they, sometimes fall off.
re: PhilD
Yes, you're right, the prices are quite fair.
Regarding the inherent risk: I think "avant-garde" is not a homogeneous category. For me the parting line is not between avant-garde and conservative cooking but between poetry and absence of inspiration. Some avant-garde I am enthusiastic about (Adria, Inaki) and some leaves me cold (the Basque "molecular" chefs like Aduriz).
I could write pages and pages about Adria. I think his art is 100% risk-taking or total absence of risk, depending on how you look at it, because he is never gratuitous and provides matter for meditation even when he fails. Some of his dishes are less successful than others but all of them question you. I did not have the same impression at all with the moleculars of Western Spain like Aduriz or Josean which I found more gimmicky and less poetic. I can't tell how much risk-taking there is in their food since it does not work for me, but some people like it a lot. With Inaki I believe the matter is simpler. Being able to take risks also means that you know you can rely on your intuitions and inspiration. Which produces a certain paradox, i.e. the more you're able to take risks, the less you're likely to fail. On the other hand people who do not take risks (and that does not apply only to cooking) are much more likely to fail than those who do, in the way that doing something dull, uncreative or uninteresting is always a failure. Therefore it is safer to take risks. Which brings me back to Inaki. This man relies on so much talent that his cooking stands constantly on the edge of the precipice - actually that is the case of all very talented people. His imagination is always active. The way he creates recipes is a fascinating process to watch. If you catch him on a day or night when he's in full possession of his power, he's not likely to disappoint. But if you catch him not in his best shape or just absent, well that is when the food is likely to deceive.
re: ACSteenbergen
Yes - Adrian said it opened on the 1st December. I understand it is a "soft opening" and the kitchen won't be fully up to speed for a couple of weeks.
re: zizouz
"A few weeks ago", uh, not quite. It wasn't open.
re: adrian
I was referring to Deux Amis, which was definitely open in November. It's not the joint next door, but rather a tapas place more or less around the corner. At any rate, it was where the Chateaubriand bartender sent me for tapas, and it was quite good. When there's good morcilla over pureed parsnips for five euro, questions of ownership seem superfluous.
re: zizouz
Zizouz - hence the confusion you are talking about the wrong place. This thread is about Le Dauphin which is next door and run by Inaki not the tapas bar opened by a few of the old FOH team which has been open some time.
re: zizouz
heh. Maybe you should start another thread. And go there.
Since the purported sexy waiters are not my style (nor target age), and since my only dinner at the mother house was pretty much inedible, I'm waiting for descriptions of food style at the new place. I'm also wondering in what ways Le Dauphin will be more casual than Chateaubriand, which was pretty informal.
A further grumble and perhaps grist for another thread: a major complaint in the last several years is the chasm between inspiration and execution. A piece of hard, green, flavorless fruit that added nothing when, indeed, the ripe fruit might have worked well; sand in spinach; bone and shell fragments in fish soups; as above, poorly chosen produce. All these in dining rooms with fine reputations and when the chef is in house. Who's minding the prep?
re: mangeur
I agree and add that innovative "plating" does not, by itself, turn mediocre preparation and cooking into great (or even fairly good) cuisine.
Been twice now. Loved it. Great review by Phyllis. You'll hear about it more soon (I've just completed reportage for two big name glossy mags..... shame on me)

DEFINITION of 'Canceled Check'
A check that has cleared the depositor's account and has been marked as "canceled" by the bank. A canceled check has been paid by the drawee bank and endorsed by the payee, the payee's bank, and the Federal Reserve Bank. Canceled checks can also be used as proof of payment.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Canceled Check'
In the past, canceled checks used to be returned to the bank account holder each month with their monthly statement. That is now rare, and most check writers receive scanned copies of their canceled checks while the banks keep the physical copies for safekeeping. Customers that utilize online banking can also access copies of their canceled checks via the web.
A canceled check, like any other financial information, should be safeguarded and stored in a safe place as it contains your bank account and routing number. These two numbers together could be used by identity thieves to gain access to the funds in your checking account.

Yoga For Spondylitis
Yoga For Spondylitis
Yoga for Spondylitis can cure the major types of spondylitis including Cervical Spondylitis, Lumbar Spondylitis and Ankylosing Spondylitis.
Spondylitis is an inflammation of one or more human vertebrae which reduces the joint space and, in turn, compresses the peripheral nerve. The stiffness and the immobility of the spine also increase if the condition does not come under control and slowly degenerative changes continue to occur. These two disorders, commonly referred to as Spondylitis are not normally differentiated. The common age group suffering from this condition is middle age or people who are engaged in prolonged sitting jobs.
There are three major types of Spondylitis. These are as follows:
1. Cervical Spondylitis
It is characterised by pain and spasm of muscle in upper back, back of the neck and back of the head. There is stiffness in the neck region, restricting the movements of the neck and head. It causes gradual degenerative process or wear and tear of the joints, bones, muscles and ligaments of the neck. The usual cause for Cervical Spondylitis is osteo-arthritis of the vertebral bones in the neck region. It might have developed after whiplash injury in the past. Precipitating cause may be the habit of using thick pillow during sleep. Similarly sitting on table job in an improper posture also may lead to cervical Spondylitis. Tension headache, restriction of neck movements from stiffness and pain in the neck region are the main symptoms for this kind of spondylitis.
2. Lumbar Spondylitis
Degenerative changes take place at lumbar region i.e. in lower back leading to nerve compression. Degenerative changes gives rise to narrowing of the disc space that can also occur due to accidental injuries, compressing the nerve root, spasm of the muscles of the lower back region leads to bad posture, which in turn aggravates the spasm further. There is a pain in the lumbar region. Restriction of forward bending of the back, heaviness, numbness, cramps in legs and tingling sensation results from compression of the spinal nerve are the signs of Lumbar spondylitis. Inability to walk for long distance, inability to stand or sit for long time compels one to restrict all the activities.
3. Ankylosing Spondylitis
It usually leads to total stiffness of the back restricting all movements due to pain. This condition also occurs in the middle aged people. Exact cause is not known but usually weak muscles of the back, constant wrong sitting posture, heredity, extra calcium intake, lack of exercise or movements are blamed to produce this disability. Stiff back leads to inability to turn the neck and therefore patient has to turn whole body to look back. Pain persists in upper / lower and /or middle back. Patient is unable to sit, stand or even sleep comfortably for a long time due to pain and heaviness in legs.
The different kinds of spondylitis can be treated by practicing yoga. The yoga asanas can strengthen the back muscles and to improve their flexibility. Asanas provide natural traction. It helps to reduce the pain caused by compression of the nerve root. The selection from the following asanas is advised according to the site of the defect.
Pavana muktasana
, Ardha-halasana, Setubandh-asana,
, Makarasana, Niralambasana, Ardha-shalabhasana, Vakrasana, Brahma Mudra, Parvatasana, Bhadrasana, Yogamudra, Shashankasana,
, Supta-tadasana are instrumental in treating spondylitis. Besides these there are
, like, agnisara. Anuloma-Viloma and the chanting of Om mantra also helps in controlling spondylitis.

Stephen Philbrick
Al Goodwin
Dick Thurston
Frank Dunbar
Katie Lisnik, HSUS
I. Call to Order
Mr. Witte, Council Chair, called the meeting to order.
II. Introductions
Introduction were made.
III. Acceptance of Minutes of Previous Council Meeting
Motion made by Mr. Dunbar and seconded by Mr. Philbrick to accept the minutes of the previous Council meeting.
Vote: 5 in favor; 1 opposed (Mr. Goodwin) - minutes accepted.
Mr. Goodwin requested that an Attorney General's opinion be sought on the Department/Council's action taken regarding piping plovers. It constituted a "taking" and was not legal in his opinion. Discussion ensued regarding the action the council had taken, specifically, the fact that Hills Beach in Biddeford had been removed from the adopted rule; Mr. Goodwin believes that the Department did not have the authority to enact this regulation and questioned the fiscal note included in the notice of agency rulemaking. Commissioner Martin explained that the minutes were factual as to what had taken place and so there should be no objection to accepting the minutes as presented. It was the consensus of the Advisory Council that an Attorney General's opinion was not required and that the minutes should be accepted as presented.
IV. Rulemaking
1. Step 3
1. 2010 Spring Turkey
Mr. Stadler presented the proposal and stated there were no public comments received and the Department would like to move forward with the proposal as presented.
A motion was made by Mr. Dunbar and that was seconded by Mr. Philbrick to accept the proposal as presented.
Vote: unanimous - motion passed.
2. Fishing Regulations
Mr. Boland presented the proposal. There was discussion about the size of the lawbook, cost etc. Mr. Boland agreed to present a summary of printing options, costs, options (ads) and the Department's recommendation at the December 3 meeting. The Department was now seeking the Council's consent on the rulemaking proposal as amended.
Mr. Goodwin asked why the Department was not changing the regulations on East Grand Lake.
Mr. Boland explained that due to the fact that the regulation that was proposed was not consistent with the Canadian regulations, the Department would like to continue working towards agreement and not adopt the inconsistent proposal at this time.
A motion was made by Mr. Philbrick and that was seconded by Mr. Usher to accept the proposals, with amendments as presented.
A motion was made by Mr. Philbrick and that was seconded by Mr. Usher to accept the proposals, with amendments as presented.
Vote: 5 in favor; 1 opposed (Mr. Goodwin) - motion passed.
Step 2
1. 2010 Moose Season
Commissioner Martin stated a public hearing was going to be held on this issue. He was not ready to make a determination on numbers of permits, etc. until he had heard from the public. The Council had seen his letters to Senator Jackson and Representative Martin in regards to the issue. Senator Jackson still interpreted the resolve as he introduced it, not as it was amended in the Senate to reclassify WMD 2 from a compromise zone to a recreation zone. Senator Jackson was still concerned and wanted us to go from 250 to 490 permits.
Mr. Philbrick asked about the permit numbers going from 90 to 250. Was that a compromise to the 490 number that was originally suggested?
Mr. Stadler stated the difference was under compromise management WMD 2 was converted. The goal for a WMD that's been managed as compromise is to reduce the moose population by 1/3. By the legislation WMD 2 had to be managed as a compromise zone, what number of permits were needed to achieve the objective of reducing the moose population by 1/3; 250 was the number.
Commissioner Martin stated there had been recommendations and he agreed that more permits needed to be issued in the area of Rts. 161 and 162 and the crossroad from Van Buren to Portage Lake due to heavy traffic. However, they were saying it was quite congested. Staff recommended a third week of hunting for that area. The third week should have been in the proposal but discussion took place after the rulemaking notice was advertised. We would be proposing to add a third week.
Mr. Goodwin asked about the 2009 moose harvest.
Mr. Elowe stated preliminary numbers were in and there was about a 75% success rate.
Commissioner Martin asked that the Council be sent the final numbers sometime before the December 3 meeting.
Mr. Witte stated he would like to comment regarding WMD 9. Apparently there had been no other recommendation than one made by Mr. Clark to increase it by 30 or more. With no more than just that recommendation, no biological data, he was not in favor of doing that until more information was provided on WMD 9.
Step 1
1. Moose Season Dates
Mrs. Erskine stated it was left out of the original 2010 Moose Season proposal and she would be advertising just the additional week of hunting in October.
V. Other Business
1. Animal Damage Control
Mr. Pratte gave some history about the program, the current status and where we were headed. At one time the Department handled many of the nuisance complaints that came in. Regional biologists, the wardens, a call would come in and they would decide how the problem should be addressed. This way there's 3 statutes in place that give the Department the ability and power to do that. One example was what we could do, the other was the definition of the Commissioner's powers and the statutes specific to animals. Most of the species people had the ability to handle themselves if they felt comfortable depending on what part of the state they were from. He thought in 2006 due to the budget cutting process we lost most of the funding for the ADC program. When we got a call we evaluated it and then passed it on to ADC agents.
Mr. Pratte discussed the process for when we got a call. Basically they go to the wardens, wildlife staff or ADC officials. It was evaluated and we offered guidance to the landowner or the homeowner. Part of the responsibilities for the wildlife staff was to administer the program.
Mr. Pratte stated there were requirements to be an ADC agent. They had to be a qualified trapper, pass review standards, background check and interview. Most of the time staff is recommended somebody. Before they could actually begin working as an ADC agent they would sit down with staff and go over the ADC policy that was in place. Certification was for 2 years, so every 2 years they would have to attend training and during those 2 years they also had to demonstrate that they were acting on the behalf of the party, submitting their reports and overall just cooperating well with staff.
Mr. Pratte discussed the role of ADC agents. It was to resolve human and wildlife conflicts. In a nutshell our ADC policy was based on a step down approach, prevention and extension, educating the public on what they could do to prevent the problem in the first place. He discussed non-lethal control such as relocation of beaver. Lethal control was also used. He gave examples of calls and experiences in dealing with nuisance wild turkeys and bear.
Mr. Pratte stated there were some things going on to move forward with the program. The website was being updated and would include an electronic version of the report for ADC agents. They could go there to fill out their monthly activity report and it would go directly into a database. Monthly reports were a crucial part of the program as we did use that information to guide us with season dates, referendum questions, etc.
Council Member Comments and Questions
Mr. Goodwin asked how many calls per month we received for activity.
Mr. Pratte stated hundreds.
Mr. Witte stated he had moved or handled 211 animals since May 1, 2009.
Mr. Witte discussed how ADC agents were pricing their work.
Mr. Elowe stated to be successful at maintaining fish and wildlife we had to help people learn to live side by side with it. People that didn't know how to do that and needed help, we had no way of dealing with that internally. The ADC cooperators that we registered were an essential part. We didn't want people to devalue wildlife so much, if they became such a nuisance, that it hindered our ability to manage fish and wildlife. There would be no public value attached to it. We were trying to strike a balance. Mr. Elowe stated that was private enterprise and we didn't get into pricing. It was not likely the Department would get involved.
2. Wildlife Rehabilitation
Mr. Carter distributed a packet of information regarding wildlife rehabilitation. Wildlife rehab in Maine, there was an expectation and a desire of the public for the agency to provide care for the wildlife in Maine whether it was injured or orphaned. The agency relied upon citizen volunteers and organizations to provide the service of rehabilitation. The agency did not have the funding or the resources to provide financial assistance to the rehabilitation community to provide rehab for wildlife. Licensed rehabbers could not charge for their services, but could accept donations.
Mr. Carter stated the permit itself, the stated purpose of the rehabilitation permit was to possess dehabilitated or orphaned wild animals or wild birds for the purpose of restoring them to full health and release them to the wild or to be humanely euthanized. In 2004 the permit application process and requirements were revamped and there was a working group process to develop the recommendations to improve the existing conditions or review them and provide recommendations. The results of the working group's efforts were incorporated into the current application/permitting process. The information in the Council's packet was what an individual that applied to become a rehabilitator would need. The process also included a background check for fish and wildlife violations and then we would conduct a facility inspection prior to issuing the permit. Currently there were 66 permitted rehabbers in Maine.
Mr. Carter stated that in order to rehabilitate in Maine a state permit was required and if you handled Federal migratory bird species you needed a Federal rehabilitation permit as well. Mr. Carter then went over the items in the Council's packet (see file).
Council Member Comments and Questions
Mr. Witte stated there was a policy on the ADC side that they were not supposed to transport furbearers more than 5 miles from the trapping location. We had rehabbers that were taking these in large numbers, up to 20 and 30 raccoons, etc. What control did anybody have on where they're dumping them?
Mr. Carter stated the preferred avenue would be that the animal's taken back where they were picked up. Next would be that they were released into suitable habitat. The difference in an animal that's being rehabilitated is it typically doesn't have a history of being a nuisance.
VI. Councilor Reports
Mr. Philbrick requested that the Department reconsider the youth deer day in reference to antlerless deer permits next year.
Commissioner Martin stated a meeting had been scheduled with SAM Board members for November 17th to discuss ongoing issues between IF&W and SAM.
VII. Public Comments & Questions
Mr. Kirby discussed the Rangeley Lakes Region Historical Society museum.
VIII. Agenda Items & Schedule Date for Next Meeting
The next meeting was scheduled for Thursday, December 3, 2009 at 9:30 a.m. at the Augusta Headquarters.
IX. Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 12:00 p.m.

Complexity of Mixed-signal DesignsThursday, August 28th, 2014
Gabe Moretti, Senior Editor
The major constituent of system complexity today is the integration of computing with mechanical and human interfaces. Both of these are analog in nature, so designing mixed-signal systems is a necessity. The entire semiconductor chain is impacted by this requirement. EDA tools must support mixed-signal development and the semiconductor foundries must adapt to using different processes to build one IC.
Impact on Semiconductor Foundries
Jonah McLeod, Director of Corporate Marketing Communications at Kilopass Technology was well informed about foundries situation when ARM processors became widely used in mixed-signal designs. He told me that: " Starting in 2012 with the appearance of smart meters, chip vendors such as NXP began integrating the 32-bit ARM Cortex processor with a analog/mixed-signal metrology engine for Smart Metering with two current inputs and a voltage input.
This integration had significant impact on both foundries and analog chip suppliers. The latter had been fabricating mixed-signal chips on process nodes of 180nm and larger, many with their own dedicated fabs. With this integration, they had to incorporate digital logic with their analog designs.
Large semiconductor IDMs like NXP, IT and ST had an advantage over dedicated chip companies like Linear and Analog Devices. The former had both logic and analog design expertise they could bring to bear building these SoCs and they had the fabrication expertise to build digital mixed-signal processes in smaller process geometries.
Long exempt from the pressure to chase smaller process geometries aggressively, the dedicated analog chip companies had a stark choice. They could invest the large capital expenditure required to build smaller geometry fabs or they could go fablite and outsource smaller process geometry designs to the major fabs. This was a major boost for the foundries that needed designs to fill fabs abandoned by digital designs chasing first 40nm and now 28nm. As a result, ffoundries now have 55nm processes tailored for power management ICs (PMICs) and display driver ICs, among others. Analog expertise still counts in this new world order but the competitive advantage goes to analog/mixed-signal design teams able to leverage smaller process geometries to achieve cost savings over competitors."
As form factors in handheld and IoT devices become increasingly smaller, integrating all the components of a system on one IC becomes a necessity. Thus fabricating mixed-signal chips with smaller geometries processes grows significantly in importance.
Mladen Nizic, Product Marketing Director at cadence noted that requirements on foundries are directly connected to new requirements for EDA tools. He observed that: "Advanced process nodes typically introduce more parametric variation, Layout Dependent Effects (LDE), increased impact of parasitics, aging and reliability issues, layout restrictions and other manufacturing effects affecting device performance, making it much harder for designers to predict circuit performance in silicon. To cope with these challenges, designers need automated flow to understand impact of manufacturing effects early, sensitivity analysis to identify most critical devices, rapid analog prototyping to explore layout configurations quickly, constraint driven methodology to guide layout creation and in-design extraction and analysis to enable correct-by-construction design. Moreover, digital-assisted-analog has common approach in achieving analog performance, leading to increased need for integrate mixed-signal design flow."
Marco Casale-Rossi, Senior Staff Product Marketing Manager, Design Group, Synopsys points out that there is still much life remaining in the 180nm process. "I'll give you the 180 nanometer example: when 180 nanometers was introduced as an emerging technology node back in 1999, it offered single-poly, 6 aluminum metals, digital CMOS transistors and embedded SRAM memory only. Today, 180 nanometers is used for state-of-the-art BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) processes, e.g. for smartpower, automotive, security, MCU applications; it features, as I said, bipolar, CMOS and DMOS devices, double-poly, triple-well, four aluminum layers, integrating a broad catalogue of memories such as DRAM, EEPROM, FLASH, OTP, nad more. Power supplies span from 1V to several tens or even hundreds of Volts; analog & mixed-signal manufacturing processes at established technology nodes are as complex as the latest and greatest digital manufacturing processes at emerging technology nodes, only the metrics of complexity are different."
EDA Tools and Design Flow
Mixed-signal designs require a more complex flow than strictly digital designs. They often incorporate multiple analog, RF, mixed-signal, memory and logic blocks operating at high performance and different power domains. For these reasons engineers designing a mixed-signal IC need different tools throughout the development process. Architecting, developing testing and place and route functions are all impacted.
Mladen observed that "Mixed-signal chip architects must explore different configurations with all concerned in a design team to avoid costly, late iterations. Designers consider many factors like block placement relative to each other, IO locations, power grid and sensitive analog routes, noise avoidance to arrive to optimal chip architecture."
Standard organizations, particularly Accellera and the IEEE have developed versions of generally used HD languages like Verilog and VHDL that provide support for mixed-signal descriptions. VHDL-AMS and Verilog-AMS continue to be supported by the IEEE and working groups are making sure that the needs of designers are met.
Mladen points out that "recent extensions in standardization efforts for Real Number Modeling (RNM) enable effective abstraction of analog for simulation and functional verification almost at digital speeds. Cadence provides tools for automating analog behavioral and RNM model generation and validation. In last couple of years, adoption of RNM is on rise driven by verification challenges of complex mixed-signal designs."
Design verification is practically always the costlier part of development. This is partly due to the lack of effective correct by construction tools and obviously by the increasing complexity of designs that are often a product of various company design teams as well as the use of third party IP.
Steve Smith, Sr. Marketing Director, Analog/Mixed-signal Verification at Synopsyspointed out that: "The need for exhaustive verification of mixed-signal SoCs means that verification teams need perform mixed-signal simulation as part of their automated design regression test processes. To achieve this requirement, mixed-signal verification is increasingly adopting techniques that have been well proven in the purely digital design arena. These techniques include automated stimulus generation, coverage and assertion- driven verification combined with low-power verification extended to support analog and mixed-signal functionality. As analog/mixed-signal design circuits are developed, design teams will selectively replace high-level models for the SPICE netlist and utilize the high performance and capacity of a FastSPICE simulator coupled to a high-performance digital simulator. This combination provides acceleration for mixed-signal simulation with SPICE-like accuracy to adequately verify the full design. Another benefit of using FastSPICE in this context is post-layout simulation for design signoff within the same verification testbench environment."
He continued by saying that: "An adjacent aspect of the tighter integration between analog and digital relates to power management – as mixed-signal designs require multiple power domains, low-power verification is becoming more critical. As a result of these growing challenges, design teams are extending proven digital verification methodologies to mixed-signal design. Accurate and efficient low-power and multiple power domain verification require both knowledge of the overall system's power intent and careful tracking of signals crossing these power domains. Mixed-signal verification tools are available to perform a comprehensive set of static (rule-based) and dynamic (simulation run-time) circuit checks to quickly identify electric rule violations and power management design errors. With this technology, mixed-signal designers can identify violations such as missing level shifters, leakage paths or power-up checks at the SoC level and avoid significant design errors before tape-out. During detailed mixed-signal verification, these run-time checks can be orchestrated alongside other functional and parametric checks to ensure thorough verification coverage."
Another significant challenge to designers is placing and routing the design. Mladen described the way Cadence supports this task. "Analog designers use digital logic to calibrate and tune their high performance circuits. This is called digitally-assisted-analog approach. There are often tens of thousands of gates integrated with analog in a mixed-signal block, at periphery making it ready for integration to SOC as well as embedded inside the hierarchy of the block. Challenges in realizing this kind of designs are:
- time and effort needed for iteration among analog and digital designers,
- black-boxing among analog and digital domains with no transparency during the iterations,
- sharing data and constraints among analog and digital designers,
- performing ECO particularly late in the design cycle,
- applying static timing analysis across timing paths spanning gates embedded in hierarchy of mixed-signal block(s).
Cadence has addressed these challenges by integrating Virtuoso custom and Encounter digital platforms on common OpenAccess database enabling data and constraint sharing without translation, full transparency in analog and digital parts of layout in both platforms."
Casale-Rossi has described how Synopsys addresses the problem. "A&M/S has always had placement (e.g. symmetry, rotation) and routing (e.g. shielding, length/resistance matching) special requirements. With Synopsys' Custom Designer – IC Compiler round-trip, and with our Galaxy Custom Router, we are providing our partners and customers with an integrated environment for digital and analog & mixed-signal design implementation that helps address the challenges."
The bottom line is that EDA tools providers, standards developing organization and semiconductor foundries have significant further work to do. IC complexity will increase and with it mixed-signal designs. Mixed-signal third party IP is by nature directly connected to a specific foundry and process since it must be developed and verified at the transistor level. Thus the complexity of integrating IP development and fabrication will limit the number of IP providers to those companies big enough to obtain the attention of the foundry.

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but wasn't sure where to put it.
This is a question for anyone with experience using fckeditor.
I've tried looking in their forums, but with no luck, so guess I hope someone here has experienced the same problem as me.
I pretty simple. Currently when I add/upload images to the editor with the build in upload function, url to the images turns out like this:
userfiles/image/bik.jpg - which is relative to the root document. But since i've integrated the editor in a CMS a few parent directories behind, obviously the path to the images turn out wrong.
So my question is, how do I make the url path absolute,- so it would turn up like: http://www.mydomain.com/admin/parent.../image/bik.jpg
