Not too much going on this week....
Monday...stayed home and relaxed, finished Cmas decorating, watched a movie and played online.
Tuesday...My TOPS meeting that evening and it's not going to be a good weigh-in. I enjoyed the holiday dinners way too much! ;)
Wednesday...We might drive around and look at Cmas lights. There's a house here with a bazillion lights on it that "dance" to sycronized music.
Thursday - Saturday...No particular plans yet except getting my nails done Friday. I think we might go to the movie theater to see Breaking Dawn 2 or maybe Lincoln.
Sunday...Church will be extra good as we'll be having our annual Stan Kenton Brass Christmas performance for the entire service. That evening we're going to my oldest DGD's (age 15) Dance Showcase. She's the one who is a dancer like on DWTS. The Showcase is where they perform for family & friends at our beautiful Boat House where there will also be dinner served.
That's my stuff so far!! Have a good week everyone!!

A fairly quiet week for you I see Donna,
You're all finished decorating already???
Those places that have lights & *sychronized* sounds wonderful & I can only imagine how pretty they would be to see.
Hard to believe so many already have lights on outside.
Oh good movies if you get to see them.
Good luck tonight at WI & Let us know how you do!
Have a wonderful week :)

PINEHURST The odds were always against Minjee Lee of Australia winning the U.S. Womens Open.
While Lee is ranked No. 1 in the world amateur rankings, amateurs do not win the Womens Open.
With one exception, that is.
In 1967, Catherine Lacoste of France came to Hot Springs, Va., to compete against the likes of Mickey Wright, Kathy Whitworth, Carol Mann and Sandra Haynie. She beat them all, the LPGAs best, winning by two shots to walk away with the Womens Open trophy.
Lacoste sat back for a few minutes Saturday morning to reflect on that week in 67, to talk of Lee and the experience of being an amateur in the midst of hardened professionals seeking the biggest prize in her sport.
Its hard, she said. But I dont think the girls the professionals will give her a hard time. I think theyre used to playing with amateurs.
In my time, they were so surprised to see an amateur that it was a shock for them. But now theyre used to seeing very good amateur players who have qualified. The amateurs are able to handle the pressure of winning amateur championships, so why not the U.S. Open?
Lacoste was 22 in 1967. Not only was she the first amateur to win the Womens Open but the first foreign player and the youngest. Much history was made on the Cascades Course at The Homestead.
Lacoste had won the U.S. Womens Amateur and British Ladies Amateur in 1969, but her parents were much better known. Her father, Rene Lacoste, was one of the famed Four Musketeers of French tennis, twice winning Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. Her mother, the former Simone Thion de la Chaume, won the British Womens championship in golf in 1927.
Rene Lacoste also was into fashion. His company, Chemise Lacoste, put the crocodile on the front of many a tennis shirt.
Catherine was referred to as the Crocodile Kid in news reports from the 1967 Womens Open she also was called the bouncy mademoiselle in an Associated Press story.
Catherine said she was made to feel welcome by the LPGA pros, for the most part, but said she had a knot in the tummy when she played.
I was nervous, as everyone is in the Open, but having fun, she said. I always had fun, even under pressure. My father used to tell me, Smile at the ball when I putted, to take off the pressure. And I talked to people in the crowd.
To me, thats very important. I hope the girls here can do that rather than be so serious and have a bad time on the course.
Playing with Margie Masters in the final round, Lacoste had a seven-shot lead after Masters double-bogeyed the first hole. But bogeys soon began to come for Lacoste six in seven holes.
Leading by a shot after 16 holes, she birdied the 17th from 6 feet, and had a two-putt par at the 18th to finish with a 79 that was good enough to win.
Lacoste told her parents she played like a clod the last day, but they would have none of it. She was an amateur. She won.
Five amateurs have won the U.S. Open, the last being Johnny Goodmon in 1933. But Lacoste stands alone in the U.S. Womens Open.
Lacoste never turned professional. Married in 1970, she had four children and now has eight grandchildren although she continued to play golf.
Lee, 18, said she came to Pinehurst for her first Womens Open with no expectations, saying, I just wanted to have fun and play good golf. After rounds of 69 and 71, she was tied for third, four shots behind leader Michelle Wie entering play Saturday.
Lacoste said she was not able to meet Lee or any of the amateurs, and believed 11-year-old Lucy Li should stay a kid a little longer before playing in major events. But she said her advice for Lee was simple:
Smile at the ball, she said. Attack the ball. Dont back off.

HMS Debuts HMS IntegritySourceSM Payment Integrity Suite
HMS, a wholly owned subsidiary of HMS Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: HMSY), announced today the rollout of its integrated suite of payment integrity solutions for commercial and government payers, HMS IntegritySource SM. HMS will fully unveil HMS IntegritySource at the annual conference of the National Association for Medicaid Program Integrity (NAMPI) in Baltimore, Md., from Aug. 18 to Aug. 21.
HMS IntegritySource aims to deliver on the promise of "one data source, many solutions" for commercial and government payers. Key components include fraud, waste, and abuse identification and prevention; clinical program services; provider screening; automated and complex clinical reviews; financial audits; and Medicaid Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) services.
"We're excited to bring an integrated solution to healthcare payers," said Christina Dragonetti, HMS Chief Development Officer. "HMS IntegritySource represents a significant step forward in providing a one-stop shop for payment integrity solutions for commercial and government payers."
HMS IntegritySource includes advances in key components of program integrity. For instance, HMS's fraud, waste, and abuse portal now allows payers to identify at-risk providers through provider scorecards, and to launch and track investigations directly from their desktops. Enhancements utilized by commercial insurers, such as provider targeting, now allow government payers to improve their claims payment accuracy, boosting net return on investment from 3 to 1 to 10 to 1. HMS also recently teamed with partners Digital Harbor and Health Market Science to introduce Know Your Provider, a new solution that helps payers meet Affordable Care Act requirements to screen and monitor providers.Learn more about HMS IntegritySource at NAMPI or on hms.com. About HMS HMS powers healthcare with integrity through coordination of benefits and program integrity services for healthcare payers. HMS's clients include health and human services programs in more than 40 states; commercial programs, including commercial plans, employers, and more than 135 Medicaid managed care plans; the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS); and Veterans Administration facilities. As a result of the company's services, clients recovered more than $3.2 billion last year and saved billions more through the prevention of erroneous payments.

A Giant Step Forward for Sumatran Rhinos in the Wild
The Zoo has been committed to saving the Sumatran rhino for 25 years. We work closely with the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry, the Indonesian Rhino Foundation, the IUCN Asian Rhino Specialist Group and the International Rhino Foundation, to protect this species in the wild, and also propagate Sumatran rhinos in captivity. Despite the devastating blow of the loss of our female rhino, Suci, back in March, the Zoo continues to work to conserve and protect the species.
Considered the most endangered of all rhino species, and perhaps the most endangered large mammal on Earth, it is estimated that no more than 100 Sumatran rhinos remain in Indonesia. The primary cause of the species' decline is the loss of forests due to oil palm, logging and human encroachment, even in some national parks, and poaching for its horn, which some Asian cultures believe contains medicinal properties. Today, there are only nine Sumatran rhinos living in captivity worldwide.
Just last week, a Debt-for-Nature deal was struck between the United States and Indonesia. In return for lowering the debt Indonesia owes to the United States, Indonesia will commit nearly $12 million towards the conservation and protection of critically endangered species, including the Sumatran rhino, and their habitats over the next seven years. The debt swap was made possible by a contribution of about $11.2 million from the U.S. government under the Tropical Forest Conservation Act and $560,000 from other organizations funneled through Conservation International. The Zoo was proud to help secure this funding by pledging a major gift.
Exactly how the funds will be distributed and applied over the next five or so years is yet to be determined, but the strategies are likely to include 1)establishing intensive management zones in national parks, 2) translocating any rhinos that remain outside of protected areas, 3) integrating high-tech methodologies for rhino censusing and anti-poaching efforts, 4) engaging local communities in intelligence operations and 5) providing economic benefits to communities through environmentally- farming practices.
This Debt-for-Nature swap comes at a critical time in determining the future of Indonesia, its wildlife and its people. One of the most bio-diverse regions on the planet, Indonesia also has one of the highest human populations, placing its habitats and inhabitants under tremendous pressure.

Creating a Condor Condo
If you are a frequent visitor to the Zoo, you might have noticed a new addition to our Andean condor exhibit as of late. With the tremendous help of some extremely dedicated volunteers, the Aviculture Department was able to research, help build, and install a nesting chamber for our breeding pair of Andean condors.
Background on the birds:
Like other vultures, Andean condors act as nature's recyclers! Befitting their role of scavengers, condors have several physical adaptations to help them clean up the environment. Their strong, hooked beaks aid in holding and ripping food, while the lack of a well-feathered head minimizes contamination when dining upon carcasses. Not-so-obvious on the outside, the condor's extremely strong and resilient digestive system is able to break down bone to obtain much-needed calcium as well as to kill the toxic bacteria that cause anthrax and botulism. All of these facets certainly reveal the condor's important role in maintaining healthy, well-balanced environments.
Like many other long-lived (over 70 years) and slow-breeding (one chick every other year) species, however, the Andean condor is having some trouble keeping its own population in balance in the wild. It was first listed by CITES as endangered on July 1, 1975. Andean condors are currently listed as Endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. This species historically had a significant range in South America, from Colombia and Venezuela to the Strait of Magellan and Tierra del Fuego. They are exceedingly rare in the northern ranges of South America, and are most frequently sighted in Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Chile and Argentina. The condor is still subject to persecution by poisoning and gunshot over most of its home range, and it has been historically difficult to monitor the population in the wild according to the AZA Andean Condor Care Manual (2010).
The Cincinnati Zoo has participated in conservation efforts involving both the Andean condor and its even rarer cousin, the California condor, since 1989. Along with participating in the captive breeding program, the Zoo has also served as a staging area for North American-hatched Andean condors destined for release in their native country of Colombia. Juvenile condors and breeding pairs are housed at our off-site facility where they are conditioned for release into the wild. In the summer of 2013, a breeding pair of Andean condors was transported from the Zoo's off-site facility to Miami, Florida, where they boarded a plane bound for Colombia. We have been ecstatic to hear reports from the Andean Condor Species Survival Plan that birds we have held here at the Zoo have produced chicks in the wild!
How can we increase the chances our condors here in Cincinnati will have a family of their own? Both of our birds – "Laurel" and "Gryph" – celebrated their 32nd birthdays this past June, so they are well within breeding age. They have lived in their display overlooking Wildlife Canyon since 2008, so should be well-settled. (Note: They first came to us when they were very young, left the Zoo in 1998, and then returned to us in 2008.) Since that time, we have recorded a lot of success with pair-bonding and copulating, and even with laying at least one egg per year, but unfortunately this pair has never successfully hatched out and raised a chick.
The idea of building a large protective nesting box that could mimic the wild cliffside caves the birds prefer as well as reduce the chances of egg breakage during the incubation process was formulated.
Background on the box:
Andean condors typically stand around four feet tall and can weigh up to 33 pounds. Thanks to its massive wingspan of 10.5 feet, this species can rightly claim the title of the largest flying land bird in the Western Hemisphere. Taking their overall size, enormous wingspan, and hooked flesh-tearing beak all into consideration, I knew this would need to be –by far– the largest and strongest nesting box we had ever embarked upon the creation of here at the Cincinnati Zoo!
Research and guidance provided by Aviculture Curator Robert Webster was critical in the development of a blueprint for our new Condor Condo. With a game plan in place, lumber, hardware and stain was purchased and transported to our most crafty carpenter, Mr. Bill Rettig, one of the Zoo's Bird House and Manatee dive volunteers extraordinaire.
Bill worked out of his basement and garage during the construction process, while his wife generously gave up her indoor parking space! He also enlisted the help of several other family members and neighbors in the nest box building and installation process. Lucky for him, there are several engineers and mathematicians in the family. With the completed project weighing in easily over 300 lbs and measuring over six feet wide and six feet tall, this was truly a group effort!
What the keepers will be looking for this winter:
As part of their mating rituals, Andean condors typically perform courtship displays such as walking back and forth with outstretched wings and making hissing and clucking sounds. The male usually initiates this ritualized courtship display, approaching the female with his body upright, his neck arched, inflated and more intensely flushed with red, and with his wings fully open in a forward-curving arc. He walks stiffly, swaying from side to side. Initially he may make a hissing sound, similar to air brakes on a truck, followed by a deep, repetitive drumming sound that has been compared to a helicopter. If the female is interested, she will remain near him and may bite at his neck or wings, although not aggressively. Females may also engage in the wings-out courtship display, although typically not as elaborately or for as long as the male.
Andean condors are sequentially monogamous in the wild, often remaining with the same mate indefinitely. Eggs may be laid between March and June and fertility for established pairs is typically very high. Males and females share both egg incubation and chick rearing duties roughly equally. The egg incubation period for this species is 58-62 days.
Special thanks to Bill for his undying enthusiasm for this project, and his family for jumping in to help without question, even though nest box installation was a stinky, sweaty, tough job! Ultimately, success in collective Andean condor management and care will allow AZA-accredited institutions to contribute to Andean condor conservation and to ensure that Andean condors are helping to clean up the Earth we all share for generations to come.

Cincinnati Zoo is Ready to Celebrate World Rhino Day!
Over the past year, Zoo staff and volunteers have been getting ready to celebrate World Rhino Day. This year's festivities will be held from 10 am to 4 pm on Sunday, September 21. The goal for this event is to raise funds for rhino conservation and increase the public awareness of the major challenges faced in protecting wild rhino populations. The Zoo is proud to exhibit three species of rhino; the African black rhino, the Indian rhino and the Sumatran rhino. Zoo visitors can take part in family activities, animal demonstrations, keeper encounters and a rhino-riffic raffle. The day will start with the official announcement of the winners for our Save the Rhinos poster contest. The day will no doubt be a Rhinotastic success!
The raffle items this year include rhino-themed gift baskets, a one-year membership to the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, Rhino Rembrandt paintings artistically designed by the Zoo's African black rhino 'Seyia' and Sumatran rhino 'Harapan', a one-of-a-kind Sumatran rhino footprint casting created by keeper and artist Lindsay Garrett, and an amazing print of Sumatran rhino 'Harapan' as designed and painted by artist Ali Armstrong as part of her 'Scarce Project'.
Be sure to also come out to the Zoo on Monday, September 22, from 7-9 pm to hear the State of the Rhino Lecture by CREW Rhino Scientists Dr. Terri Roth. Tickets to Dr. Roth's lecture can be purchased online. A rhino marketplace will take place in the lecture hall before and after the talk and another rhino raffle occur. In addition, renowned children's book author Mary Kay Carson and photographer Tom Uhlman will be available before and after the lecture to sign copies of their critically acclaimed book, Emi and the Rhino Scientist.
Come one, come all to help us celebrate rhinos!

Kunis, a rising star who has gone from That '70s Show and the voice of Family Guy's Meg Griffin to an acclaimed performance in Black Swan, may have been more than just a recent co-star of Justin Timberlake.
Along with a shot of the actress in a bathtub, a pilfered snapshot shows Timberlake bringing SexyBack with a pair of pink panties on his head.
Fortunately for the frequent SNL host, there were no additional shots of him re-enacting his famous skit/viral video involving a box.

A suspected drunken driver whose blood-alcohol content registered at .354 told police he hadn't had enough to drink.
Donald J. Lafavor, 66, was driving southbound in a northbound lane on Argonne Road just north of Trent Avenue when a Washington State Patrol trooper spotted him about 1:22 a.m. on Sunday.
Trooper Darren Britton approached Lafavor in a fast food restaurant parking lot.
"I asked Lafavor how much he'd had to drink and his reply was 'not enough,'" Britton said in a report. "He said he was going to go home and have more to drink."
After registering a blood-alcohol content more than four times the legal limit for driving, "Lafavor commented to himself that he didn't know how he got that high," Britton wrote. "…He tried to convince me the cold medicine was why his blood alcohol level was so high."
Lafavor, who has two previous drunken driving convictions, left jail Tuesday night after posting $7,500 bond for the driving charges and for a felony assault case connected to a confrontation with two Spokane County sheriff's deputies. He did not answer a cell phone call seeking comment.
Lafavor was shot by the deputies several times and is charged with second-degree assault for allegedly pointing a gun at them.
Superior Court Judge Michael Price on Tuesday prohibited Lafavor from driving or consuming alcohol.

Sevier Co. (WVLT) - A Sevier County man convicted in July of raping a nine year old girl learned his fate today.
A judge sentenced 34-year-old Kevin Gentry to 25 years in prison.
Authorities say U.S. Marshals found Gentry in 2005, after he allegedly faked his death in South Carolina to avoid prosecution in Tennessee.
Gentry still faces three other charges of statutory rape and 23 more charges of aggravated exploitation of a minor involving three other girls.

What's coming in Suse Linux 10.0
Suse is still one of the most popular Linux distributions. Read on for an introduction to Novell's new openSuse project and a sneak peak at what's inside the next version of Suse Linux.
Novell is giving the Linux community a bigger stake in Suse Linux, and their master plan for this new strategy is called openSuse [1]. openSuse will be an open codebase under shared management by the community and the Suse development team. The codebase will form the basis for the Enterprise edition and the Suse Linux box (the Professional tag has been dropped), which will appear at six month intervals in typical Suse style.
openSuse is a free software-only development version of Suse that will be available for downloading at all times. The site at [2] gives links to the ISO image files and Bittorrent files. Developers and other interested parties can also check out the current openSuse status between the official releases. Novell will continue to sell Suse Linux as a boxed product. The box content will not change but the price of about 60 Euros is new. There are no plans for an updated version or special discounts for students. Novell will then build the next version of the Suse Linux Enterprise Server, Novell Open Enterprise Server, and Novell Linux Desktop on the openSuse codebase.

Fallen in Love: A Fallen Novel in Stories
by Lauren Kate
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I read this book out-of-order in the "Fallen" series. It is meant to be the fourth book, in between Passion and Rapture. If you haven't read the preceding Fallen books, you should read them before reading this.
Fallen in Love is a collection of four short stories, centered around Valentine's Day, about the characters from the Fallen novels. They are all in Medieval England, during the time when Luce is going through time in the announcers and everyone else is following her.
The first story is about Shelby and Miles, and is called "Love Where You Least Expect It: The Valentine of Shelby and Miles". It starts as they step out of an announcer into Medieval England while trying to find their way back home. They come across the past version of Luce as well as the present Roland. It's hard to say more than that without spoilers, unfortunately. I will say that I liked this story. I thought it was sweet and well written. It was actually my favorite out of all of them.
The second story is about Roland, and is called, "Love Lessons: The Valentine of Roland". It tells the reader about Roland's lost love that he left behind. I thought it was well written as well, but it was a little sad. Despite that, I still thought it was a good story and it gave Roland's character more depth.
The third story is about Arriane, and is called, "Burning Love: The Ballad of Arriane. This one was really interesting because it explains how Arriane got the burn scars on her neck. I thought it was a great story and I was really invested, but I was let down by the ending. Just like Roland's story though, this story gives more depth to Arriane's character and explains her and her motives a little more.
The fourth story is about Luce and Daniel, and is called, Endless Love: The Valentine of Daniel and Lucenda. This story is pretty typical of the the past relationship glimpses you see in Passion. This story is important because, as Bill tells Luce, this is the only Valentine's Day Luce and Daniel ever spent together. The Lucenda of this time period is a poor commoner and Daniel is a knight. Lucenda believes she and Daniel can't be together because of the differences of their class status. Nevertheless, Lucenda hopes he will show up to see her at the Valentine's Day event outside of the castle. This story was my second favorite. It was a little suspenseful and it was sweet.
All in all, they were all good stories, I just found a few of them kind of depressing, and therefore, not my kind of stories. I like happy endings, I can't help it. They were all well written and I felt invested in all of them. I think if you are a fan of the series, you should read this. If you're reading the series, but not in love with it, you can skip this and still be able to follow what's going on in Rapture. I have to say though, it did satisfy my curiosity about Arriane's scars.
You can find more of my reviews at http://bookwormbookreviews.com
This book was great in showing us a softer side of Shelby, Miles, Roland and Arriane. It gave us a look into their past and how it may shape their future.
This book was great in showing us a softer side of Shelby, Miles, Roland and Arriane. It gave us a look into their past and how it may shape their future.
Loved it! All four stories were really good, I loved learning the backstory of Roland and Arriane, that was a treat! And Shelby and Miles' story was super cute and of course Luce's and Daniel's story was awesome! It's great how it continued the story from Passion and that it ties into Rapture.
I know this book is not technically part of the series, but it is the best one so far. She focused on some of the other characters, and did not drone on and on about Daniel and Luce. It was a series of different love stories on one Valentines Day. Some worked out some didn't. I love stories like that.

5 Stocks Under $10 Soaring Higher
UQM Technologies
UQM Technologies (UQM) is a developer and manufacturer of electric motors, generators and power electronic controllers for the automotive, aerospace, military and industrial markets. This stock is trading up 13.1% to $1.28 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $1.16-$1.3052-Week Range: $0.70-$2.19 Volume: 142,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 105,477 From a technical perspective, UQM is skyrocketing higher here with above-average volume. This move has also started to push UQM back above its 200-day moving average of $1.27, and right around some near-term overhead resistance at $1.30. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in UQM as long as it's trending above $1.29 to $1.30 with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above 105,447 shares as bullish. If UQM can sustain that trend with strong volume, then look for this stock to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $1.80 to $1.90.

Teen's suicide draws attention to district's bullying, mental health policies
OCEAN CITY — Members of the community pressed the Ocean City Board of Education at its Wednesday, Dec. 17 meeting to make bullying and mental illness awareness priorities in the district in the wake of the death of Ocean City High School student Maliha Chowdhury.
UPPER TOWNSHIP – School officials in Ocean City said they will not accept School Choice students from Upper Township's middle school at Ocean City High School, Superintendent Vincent Palmieri said Monday.
During the Upper Township Board of Education meeting Dec. 15, Palmieri said he and school board president Michele Barbieri met with high school principals and Ocean City Superintendent Kathleen Taylor on Thursday to discuss the issue, and were notified Friday that the students would not be admitted.
OCEAN CITY — The many volunteers who helped make the Ocean City Community Center a reality were honored Friday with the unveiling of a new Donor Wall during the Ocean City Community Center Association's Afternoon of Appreciation.
"That turned out so well. We couldn't have been happier," said Ken Cooper, chairman of the association.

Francis Jeffers' 10-match guest stint with Newcastle Jets ends on January 3 and at this stage it seems unlikely he will be offered an extension.
The former Everton and Arsenal starlet has been a revelation since arriving in Australia and has been a major contributor to the Jets' good recent run of just one loss in eight matches but after holding talks with the club's management, he has revealed that Monday's match against the Melbourne Victory and the January 3 clash with Sydney FC could be it.
"They are saying they want to keep me but the chat I had with the club today was disheartening," Jeffers told the Newcastle Herald.
"I have enjoyed my time here. I told the club if everything was right I would love to stay but I don't think that is going to happen.
"The big thing for me is securing my future and my family's.
"I can't accept a deal until the end of this season with nothing for next season.
"From what was said today, the club is not in a position to offer me a deal and by the looks of things, I'll be going back to England.
"My flight is booked for January 5 and I'll be going then."
Jets executive chairman Ken Edwards said they would love to keep Jeffers for the remainder of the current campaign but insisted that a deal for next season was too much to offer.
"We indicated to him that we would love for him to stay for the rest of the season if we can find a way," Edwards said.
"But we are not in a position to make him an offer for next year yet because we don't have an indication from the FFA what the salary cap situation will be."

DAC: Day 1; An Ode to an Old Friend
Denali Finale
While I ponder the hundreds of partners I work with to support a vibrant ecosystem of ModelSim and Questa users (thank you to all of you, by the way!) tonight was a special night for a long standing partner: Denali.
Looking back into the archives, the first communication from Sanjay (Srivastava), Mark (Gogolewski) and David (Lin) pondering our possible collaborative efforts in the late nineties to the first of your party invitations to the Bourbon Street Bash held at Patout's Bourbon Vieux Room give me pause. Last in the archive is, of course, the invitation to the Monday Denali Party at the House of Blues. (And it is amazing what Jeannette Zelaya can do in two weeks! My hats off to you!)
In the frivolity before the musical festivities, the EDA Idol judges gathered for the fourth (and final) Denali EDA Idol competition. I must say, there are a lot of very talented musicians from within EDA and our customers. This year's crop of contestants were very good. But fellow judges Simon Davidmann and Karen Bartleson reminisced about the past contests and an end of an era. Karen Bartleson even out did her wardrobe of prior years and was stunning as our EDA Idol "Paula." I sure hope she can change her hair color back overnight. The picture to the left is actually Karen. Can you recognize her?
One can only hope the "music" continues on. The Mentor ModelSim team has made a small dent in EDA music with the creation of a"ModelSim" Fender Stratocaster guitar this year. (No, I don't play, but maybe one day we can share it with those who can.)
If the contestants tonight prove anything, hope rises eternal for more music, fun and camaraderie in the future. We can hope.
On an endnote, the start of tonight's party was a moving tribute from Mark Gogolewski to fellow Denali employees, customers, partners and his best treasure, his "better half" as he said, his wife. You touched a chord with many.
To all of Denali (present and past), thank you for the opportunity to collaborate with you for more than a decade of mutual customer success. I wish all of you well, always.
