No, a chore
It did not hold my interest, I read three others going back to try to finish and finally gave up. It was depressing to me. Trying to pick up the story line was impossible.
The narrator was as good, just a dull , boring story
I like the author, she is better than this.

Canadians may be able to sample the fruit in the fall of 2017
GUELPH—The Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League have decided to call the University of Guelph's Alumni Stadium home for the 2013 season.
The university issued the following news release on Tuesday:
November 20, 2012—The Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the Canadian Football League (CFL) is hoping to make the University of Guelph their home for the team's 2013 season.
The team and the University have signed a Memorandum of Understanding that could see the Tiger-Cats playing their home games next year in U of G's newly renovated Alumni Stadium. The Tiger-Cats' regular home venue in Hamilton—Ivor Wynne Stadium—is scheduled for demolition this month. A new facility will open in Hamilton in 2014.
"We are delighted that Guelph was chosen," said Alastair Summerlee, President.
"It reflects the quality of the upgrades that we've made to Alumni Stadium and speaks to the reputation of the University and the City of Guelph. It will also help raise our profile, support the continuing expansion of our athletic facilities and bring business to Guelph."
Guelph Mayor Karen Farbridge said: "I am excited that the Hamilton Tiger-Cats have chosen Guelph as its home for the team's 2013 season. We are happy to host them and welcome all the fans to our beautiful City."
Lloyd Longfield, president of the Guelph Chamber of Commerce, added: "This is wonderful news for the City of Guelph. The spin-off benefits for business and tourism will be enormous."
The tentative agreement identifies a number of logistical issues that need to addressed prior to a final decision, said Brenda Whiteside, associate vice-president (student Affairs), who oversees the Department of Athletics. She added that discussions will take place over the next few weeks.
Tiger-Cat games will be scheduled around U of G athletics and other events, Whiteside said.
Alumni Stadium has more than 4,000 permanent seats and a capacity of close to 10,000 for homecoming games. The Tiger-Cats and the University will work together to maximize the capacity of the facility while respecting the constraints of the site, Whiteside said. This includes making temporary premium hosting areas available around the field and erecting temporary spectator stands on the stadium's east side for Tiger-Cat games.
Scott Mitchell, Tiger-Cats president, said: "With the University of Guelph's Alumni Stadium located just 17 minutes from the City of Hamilton's northern border, combined with its gorgeous setting, we think our fans will love this solution. It's also a perfect fit for our very successful regional marketing campaign and we look forward to working with the University to make this happen."
This year's improvements to Alumni Stadium included installation of new artificial turf, an eight-lane International Athletic Federation-certified track, new lighting and a state-of-the-art video scoreboard.
Tom Kendall, U of G's director of athletics, says sports and recreation facilities and programs help attract and retain students. "We recognize the importance of a healthy lifestyle for student success. These changes will allow us to continue to be leaders in student support."
Proceeds from the agreement will support the Gryphon athletics fundraising campaign. As part of U of G's BetterPlanet Project, the Gryphon campaign is expected to help fund a new fitness and recreation complex.

ABOARD PRINCE ALBERT II: If you had to pick one of the most unlikely places for a ship to run aground, it would be the Tristan da Cunha island group. Tristan da Cunha is known as the most remote populated island in the world, 1,500 miles from Cape Town, South Africa, a distant speck in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean, far from any shipping lanes, which is to say, it's not on the way to anywhere. If you had to pick one of the worst places for a ship to run aground, it would be the Tristan da Cunha island group — especially Nightingale Island, which harbors one of the most spectacular and significant populations of sea birds in the world, including endangered species and birds not found anywhere else in the world, including the Northern Rockhopper Penguin. Neighboring Inaccessible Island is a World Heritage Site nine miles from Nightingale island. [Read more…]
Environmental Disaster Worsens After Shipwreck at Nightingale Island
Ship Breaks Apart: Oil Spill Threatens Penguins, Other Wildlife at Remote Nightingale Island
ABOARD PRINCE ALBERT II: On Wednesday March 16, the Prince Albert II received word that a Greek freighter, the MS Oliva, ran aground at 430am that day on the far northwest promontory of Nightingale Island, part of the Tristan group of islands. Tristan de Cunha is the most remote inhabited island in the world, more than 1,500 km from the nearest continent in South Africa. Its population is less than 300. The Oliva was enroute from Santos, Brazil to Singapore with a cargo of soya beans. The vessel is a 75,300 tonne bulk carrier (225 meters long, 32m beam) commissioned in 2009, registered in Malta. The circumstances of its grounding are still under investigation. [Read more…]
Is the Next Generation Ready for the Next Generation of Challenges?
A decade or so ago, an article appeared in the Palm Beach Post quoting me as saying, "The leaders we have to reach are in diapers today." I was referring to the largest environmental restoration project in history — the Everglades — and the fact it would take unwavering dedication and stewardship over decades to ensure its success. (I was speaking in my former role as president of The Conservancy of Southwest Florida and co-chair of the Everglades Coalition.) I suppose those once-diapered kids I was referring to are now in elementary school, which is why I was intrigued to hear explorer Scott W. Hamilton, speaking at the Explorers Club Annual Dinner last year, state that "the next commander of a manned mission to Mars is in elementary school today." The daunting challenges ahead of humanity — whether restoring ecosystems, saving coral reefs, battling climate change or holding the first handful of red sand on Mars — are decades-long efforts that can't rest on the shoulders of a single generation. So is the next generation more ready than we were to take on such challenges? I'm in the process of finding out. [Read more…]

Want to Help the Gulf of Mexico? Kill Your Lawn.
Since 1948, radio station KBMW has been serving as the "Voice of the Southern Red River Valley," a tri-state area including North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota, boasting some of the "richest farmland in the United States." So why did they want to interview a city boy who lives for salt water? To update their listeners on the BP oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, and most importantly, tell their listeners how they could help. Like so many of us, they feel a deep connection to the Gulf, even from more than 1,200 from water's edge, and the daily images of oil erupting from the BP well has led to palpable frustration. It's hard to watch and not be able to help. Truth is, KBMW's listeners are more connected than they may realize, and they can materially help the Gulf of Mexico — and their own neighborhoods, by just getting outside and doing some gardening.
Rebuilding the Gulf's Shattered Fishing Industry ? On Land
Today NOAA announced further fishing closures in the Gulf of Mexico due to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Now a total of 37 percent of federal Gulf waters are off limits to fishing, an area of nearly 89,000 square miles where NOAA considers fish and shellfish potentially too toxic for human consumption. For a region where commercial fishing is a vital part of the economy, the future of the region grows increasingly uncertain with each barrel of oil spewed into the deep Gulf waters.
There's a solution: Rebuild the Gulf of Mexico fishery on land. Investing in "next-generation" sustainable land-based, closed-containment recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) could keep the Gulf region in the seafood business profitably, while creating green jobs and reducing fishing pressure on wild stocks. What is "next-generation" RAS aquaculture? From the outside, many of the systems look like an ordinary warehouse. Inside, they're a specially-constructed system of pumps and filters that recycle 99 percent of their water and grow healthy and heathful fish without chemicals, antibiotics or genetically-modified anything.

2010: The Year We Wake and Act
Like closing your eyes after staring at a light bulb, the image of the vast, dark spill haunts me like an after-image that just won't go away after more than a month of poring over satellite images and nautical charts of the vast BP oil spill spreading throughout the Gulf of Mexico. At some point, as I pondered the growing dark mass, I recalled the eerie 1984 film, 2010 (the sequel to Arthur C. Clark's 2001: A Space Odyssey) and the massive dark mass that consumed the planet Jupiter. And it seemed a tad spooky that the year the author chose when Jupiter would face its ginormous black swath of destruction was…2010.? Not knowing where it would lead me, I decided I had to indulge my right brain today, so I cracked my knuckles, opened Photoshop and this image is the result.? [Read more…]
The Gulf of Mexico: What's at Stake
This video highlights the vast diversity of marine life throughout the Gulf at risk from the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster. The video provides an underwater tour of the Gulf by sub and scuba, encompassing the U.S., Cuba and Mexico.

Waiting for the Oil?
On July 18, 1975, the tanker Garbis spilled 1,500 to 3,000 barrels of crude oil into the warm, turquoise, coral-rich waters roughly 26 miles south-southwest of the Marquesas Keys, Florida. The oil was blown ashore along a 30-mile stretch of the Florida Keys, east of Key West. I was 16 and enjoying my second summer at Seacamp, a marine science camp on Big Pine Key. Rumors of the spill raced throughout the campus until finally, instructor James Smithson decided to find out for himself what menace might be approaching. He took a small away team aboard his 21-foot Mako, "Isurus," and made haste south toward the reef tract. We waited impatiently for word back as the sun fell to the horizon and scattered its tranquil orange glow across the water. What I saw next filled me with dread. The Isurus entered the harbor, its white hull stained with enormous swaths of dark brown oil. In that moment the menace was no longer abstract, and to my young mind, everything we treasured — the corals, the mangroves, the fish, the turtles –was on the brink of extermination. [Read more…]

Three held for murder of watchman at Peerkankaranai in May 2011
They were flowers sellers near the Tambaram bus terminus during the day; but by dusk they were burglars who committed murder for cash and gold. The three men who allegedly murdered a 56-year-old watchman on May 27, 2011 have been finally nabbed by Central Crime Branch's Homicide Special Investigation. This is the first case to be cracked by the team since its formation in January 2012.
Addressing a press conference on Tuesday at the office of the Commissioner of Police in Egmore, Additional Commissioner (L&O) P. Thamarai Kannan revealed that the special team arrested Maran alias Duraisami (30) of Puduchery, Murali Krishnan (27) of Vellore and Arumugam (22) of Kancheepuram in connection with the murder of watchman Ayyadurai in Peerkankaranai. His highly decomposed body was found two days later.
The killing took place when Ayyadurai was guarding the house of headmaster Chandrasekaran on Tholkappier Street, Srinivasa Nagar after the latter and his family members went out of town . Peerkankaranai police registered a case but investigators couldn't find a breakthrough. Therefore, the case was transferred to the special team in February.
"Our team had only a few leads like five fingerprints lifted from the crime scene, some photographs and modus operandi of smearing chilly powder after burglary. We questioned more than 70 suspects including those lodged in prisons and went to five States to get the crucial lead," said Jude Durai Pandian, Assistant Commissioner, Homicide Special Investigation Team.
After more than 90 days into the probe, the special team stumbled upon a series of burglaries in Puducherry, where the modus operandi was similar. The key suspect was Maran, who was tracked to a flower stall near the Tamabaram bus terminus.
The interrogation of Maran revealed that he and his accomplices Murali Krishnan and Arumugam would go to houses in Tambaram and adjoining areas to deliver flowers. After identifying houses where the residents were out of town, they would strike in the night.
On May 17, they tried to break into the house of Chandrasekaran. Ayyadurai tried to stop the trio who strangled him to death.
The three men were arrested and remanded in judicial custody .

Ebola Cases Break 8,000 As Leaders Say Response Has Failed

The world health system, such as it is, has "failed miserably" in its response to the recent Ebola outbreak according to World Bank President Jim Kim. Kim also said that due to those failures the disease will continue to spread throughout the world.
Ebola has already killed over 3,800 people in West Africa. Ebola cases have now surpassed 8,000 with the World Health Organization believing the numbers are likely larger due to under-reporting in countries such as Liberia. The health systems in West Africa are seemingly inadequate to the task at hand.

David Frum Just Makes up "Facts" to Argue Against Marijuana Legalization

As someone who believes that marijuana prohibition has done significantly more harm than good, I would love to have a serious data-driven national debate about legalization. But unfortunately that is not possible when prohibitionists think it is acceptable to simply make up facts.
This anti-legalization article in The Daily Beast by David Frum is an egregious recent example of that phenomenon.

Product description
In 1945 Isaiah Berlin, working in Russia for the British Foreign Office, met Anna Akhmatova almost by chance in what was then Leningrad. The brief time they spent together one long November evening was a transformng experience for both, and has become a cardinal moment in modern literary history. For Akhmatova, Berlin was a "guest from the future," her ideal reader outside the nightmare of Soviet life and a link with a lost Russian world; he became a figure in her cryptic masterpiece "Poem without a Hero." For Berlin, this "most memorable" meeting with the beautiful poet of genius was a spur to his ideas on liberty and on history. But there were tragic consequences: the Soviet authorities thought Berlin was a British spy, Akhmatova became a suspected enemy, and until her death in 1966 the KGB persecuted her family. Though Akhmatova was convinced that she and Berlin had inadvertently started the Cold War, she remembered him gratefully and he inspired some of her finest poems. Gyorgy Dalos--who inteviewed Berlin and many others who knew Akhmatova well, and who examined hitherto-secret KGB and Poliburo files--tells the inside story of how Stalin and other Soviet leaders dealt with Akhmatova. He ends with the touching story of her posthumous rehabilitation, when Russians astronomers discovered a new star and name it after her.

Author information
Gyorgy Dalos, born in Budapest in 1943, was banned for "anti-state activities" and then joined Hungary's democratic opposition. A novelist and literary critic, he now lives and works in Berlin, where he has served as director of the Institute for Hungarian Culture.
Review quote
"This sharply written and elegantly translated little book establishes beyond doubt that there was nothing paranoid about Akhmatova's belief that this meeting led to a succession of new misfortunes. In 1996, a street in Odessa and a new planet were posthumously named for her. Russia needs to honor its poets --once they are safely dead." --Elaine Feinstein, "The Independent" "Two writers, each born in tsarist Russia, speaking across the divide, aware that their two worlds had been brought together by the slightest stroke of chance and that the morning would spin them apart again. Dalos's intriguing little book proves that this fleeting, fifteen-hour encounter has more to say of the Soviet period than any summit meeting, or any of those tedious party congresses that tried for 70 years to control the lives of an entire empire."--Philip Mardsen, T"he Sunday Times " "A fascinating book."--Hilary Spurling, "The Daily Telegraph"

The point of the early Jaime chapters is not telling us about the horrors of war, it's the character development of Jaime. Brienne's AFFC stuff is a mix of that and Martin's view of war's aftermath.

I really liked ADWD chapters that were set in Westeros, except Dorne and Jon Conninghton. All the Essos chapters just kill whatever momentum the book develops. There's Quentyn, the single most pointless character in the books, even more than that idiot Kingsguard from AFFC. Aegon exists only because Martin has no idea how to bring Daenerys to Westeros, so Aegon does what Daenerys should've done a long time ago. I guess it's much easier to invent a new character (or "resurrect" in Aegon's and Connighton's case) than untie the Meereenese knot.
Aegon isn't a sudden invention. He's the "mummer's dragon" prophesied in

The resignation of Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber after just a little more than a month of his fourth term in office could be seen as making a case for term limits. But really, it is a classic example of the pitfalls of using big government to solve social problems.
Oregon limits governors to two consecutive four-year terms. Kitzhaber was in the governor's mansion from 1995 to 2003. Then, Putin-like, after letting someone else be governor for a couple of terms, he ran again and won in 2010. Despite warning signs from Pulitzer-Prize-winning Willamette Week reporter Nigel Jaquiss, Kitzhaber coasted to victory (endorsed by Jaquiss' own paper, among others) over a Republican legislator who represented one of the least-populated, and therefore politically inconsequential, parts of the state.
What brought Kitzhaber down was clear evidence that his girlfriend, Cylvia Hayes, who called herself the First Lady of Oregon and bragged that she was his "policy advisor," aggressively used her connections to the governor to get contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to lobby the state on energy policy, among other things. Rather than attempt to show that Hayes was keeping her roles as First Lady and lobbyist separate, Kitzhaber stonewalled public access to emails and even reportedly ordered his staff to destroy thousands of such emails. It was this stonewalling, more than the corruption charges, that led major Democrats in the state to turn against the governor.
Kitzhaber is a charismatic man who has a reputation with working with people on both sides of the political aisle. Yet this is far from his first major political scandal that cost taxpayer millions and involved questionable actions on the part of his friends and associates.

Living Proof No Frizz Leave-In Conditioner4 oz | Conditioner, Leave-in Conditioner

(Rated 4/5 based on 4 reviews) Login to add your review
Used this under a styler, and my hair was moisturized. This product has good spreadability and a small amount is all that's needed to cover your hair. Didn't help with tangles, but kept my hair from frizz longer. Though the product has glycerin, the product is well formulated such that the hair stays moisturized. I've used it in the winter with the same good effects. I gave it 4 curls because of the price, and that it doesn't come in an 8 oz size!
Not a fan. It's light but by the end of the day my hair looked dry & got barely any curl formation.
Ingredient Attributes: moisture, frizz control

Pakistan security forces arrested a top-ranking al-Qaeda military commander in the southern port city of Karachi on Sunday, media reports said.
The online edition of the newspaper Dawn named him as Adam Gadahn, alias Abu Yahya, a US citizen who is on the CIA's top-ten most-wanted list.
Gadahn, who was born in Pennsylvania, is believed to a commander of foreign militants fighting in Afghanistan against the US.
A close associate of Osama bin Laden, Gadahn was believed to have been living with the al-Qaeda founder after the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001.
He was detained in a suburb of Karachi by Pakistan security forces along with help from US intelligence, the Dawn report said.
The CIA had offered a reward of 1 million dollars leading to the arrest of Gadahn.
Keywords: Pakistan, al-Qaeda, CIA, Gadahn, military commander

Optimum and heuristic transformation techniques for simultaneous optimization of latency and throughputPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 2 - 19
Cited by: Papers (16) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1878 KB)
Although throughput alone can be arbitrarily improved for several classes of systems using previously published techniques, none of those approaches are effective when latency constraints, which are increasingly important in embedded DSP systems, are considered. After formally establishing the relationship between latency and throughput in general computation, we explore the effect of pipelining on latency, and establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which pipelining does not alter latency. Many systems are either linear, or have subsystems that are linear. For such cases we have used a state-space based approach that treats various transformations in an integrated fashion, and answers analytically whether it is possible to simultaneously meet any given combination of constraints on latency and throughput, The analytic approach is constructive in nature, and produces a complete implementation when feasibility conditions are fulfilled. We also present a suboptimal but hardware efficient heuristic approach for the special case of initially-relaxed single-input single-output linear time-invariant computations. A novel software platform consisting of a high-level synthesis system coupled to a symbolic algebra system was used to implement the proposed algorithm transformations. Instead of optimizing to improve throughput and latency, our transformations can also be used to increase the implementation efficiency while achieving the same latency and throughput as the original design.<

System level hardware module generationPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 20 - 35
Cited by: Papers (8) | Patents (5)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1965 KB)
In complex modern day electronic systems, far more time is spent in designing the boards, writing the software to drive and integrate the hardware, and other such system level issues, than is spent in designing any application-specific ICs that may be needed. Unfortunately, most of the research in computer-aided design has been focussed on the more glamorous ASIC design problem, as a result of which the design methodologies and tools at the system level are much more primitive than at the chip level. We have developed a design framework for application-specific systems, called SIERA, that addresses the higher level aspects of system design, including multichip design issues at the board-level, and hardware-software codesign and integration, in addition to the design of individual ASICs. SIERA allows rapid-prototyping of multiboard systems where the functionality is implemented using a mix of dedicated hardware modules and ASICs, as well as software running on programmable hardware modules. A key step in the design methodology provided by SIERA is that of generating the physical implementation of the system hardware from a description of the system architecture. The analogue of this problem at the chip level is referred to as silicon assembly or silicon compilation. In this paper we address this problem at the system level, and describe how the generation and interfacing of board-level modules, board-level physical design, simulation of custom boards, and the overall management of board design are handled in SIERA. While some of the problems could be solved by adapting or extending techniques from the existing ASIC design tools, others required new approaches. Case-studies of several real-life applications are also presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the board-level physical design methodology embodied in SIERA compared to the traditional PCB design systems.<

Design and realization of high-performance wave-pipelined 8/spl times/8 b multiplier in CMOS technologyPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 36 - 48
Cited by: Papers (16)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1163 KB)
Wave pipelining is a design technique for increasing the throughput of a digital circuit or system without introducing pipelining registers between adjacent combinational logic blocks in the circuit/system. However, this requires balancing of the delays along all the paths from the input to the output which comes the way of its implementation. Static CMOS is inherently susceptible to delay variation with input data, and hence, receives a low priority for wave pipelined digital design. On the other hand, ECL and CML, which are amenable to wave pipelining, lack the compactness and low power attributes of CMOS. In this paper we attempt to exploit wave pipelining in CMOS technology. We use a single generic building block in Normal Process Complementary Pass Transistor Logic (NPCPL), modeled after CPL, to achieve equal delay along all the propagation paths in the logic structure. An 8/spl times/8 b multiplier is designed using this logic in a 0.8 /spl mu/m technology. The carry-save multiplier architecture is modified suitably to support wave pipelining, viz., the logic depth of all the paths are made identical. The 1 mm/spl times/0.6 mm multiplier core supports a throughput of 400 MHz and dissipates a total power of 0.6 W. We develop simple enhancements to the NPCPL building blocks that allow the multiplier to sustain throughputs in excess of 600 MHz. The methodology can be extended to introduce wave pipelining in other circuits as well.<

Bus-invert coding for low-power I/OPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 49 - 58
Cited by: Papers (316) | Patents (80)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1007 KB)
Technology trends and especially portable applications drive the quest for low-power VLSI design. Solutions that involve algorithmic, structural or physical transformations are sought. The focus is on developing low-power circuits without affecting too much the performance (area, latency, period). For CMOS circuits most power is dissipated as dynamic power for charging and discharging node capacitances. This is why many promising results in low-power design are obtained by minimizing the number of transitions inside the CMOS circuit. While it is generally accepted that because of the large capacitances involved much of the power dissipated by an IC is at the I/O little has been specifically done for decreasing the I/O power dissipation. We propose the bus-invert method of coding the I/O which lowers the bus activity and thus decreases the I/O peak power dissipation by 50% and the I/O average power dissipation by up to 25%. The method is general but applies best for dealing with buses. This is fortunate because buses are indeed most likely to have very large capacitances associated with them and consequently dissipate a lot of power.<

Testing complex couplings in multiport memoriesPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 59 - 71
Cited by: Papers (24) | Patents (5)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1397 KB)
In this paper, the effects of simultaneous write access on the fault modeling of multiport RAMs are investigated. New fault models representing more accurately the actual faults in such memories are then defined. Subsequently, a general algorithm that ensures the detection of all faults belonging to the new fault model is proposed. Unfortunately, the obtained algorithms are of O(n/sup 2/) complexity which is not practical for real purposes. In order to reduce the complexity of the former test algorithm a topological approach has been developed. Finally, a BIST implementation of one of the proposed topological algorithms is presented.<

Cumulative balance testing of logic circuitsPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 72 - 83
Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1207 KB)
We present a new test response compression method called cumulative balance testing (CBT) that extends both balance testing and accumulator compression testing. CBT uses an accumulated balance signature, and it guarantees very high error coverage (over 99%) for various error models. We demonstrate that the single stuck-line (SSL) fault coverage of CBT for many of the ISCAS 85 combinational benchmark circuits is 100%, and for all but one circuit, the fault coverage is over 99.5%. To make processor circuits self-testing, any existing accumulators and counters can be exploited to implement CBT. Its ease of implementation, provably high error coverage, and exceptionally high SSL fault coverage, even with reduced (nonexhaustive) test sets, make CBT suitable for the built-in self testing of processor circuits that require a guaranteed level of test confidence.<

A buffer distribution algorithm for high-performance clock net optimizationPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 84 - 98
Cited by: Papers (7) | Patents (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1519 KB)
We propose a new approach for optimizing clock trees, especially for high-speed circuits. Our approach provides a useful guideline to a designer, by user-specified parameters, and three of these tradeoffs are provided in this paper. (1) First, to provide a "good" tradeoff between skew and wire length, a new clock tree routing scheme is proposed. The technique is based on a combination of hierarchical bottom-up geometric matching and minimum rectilinear Steiner tree. Our experiments complement the theoretical results. (2) For high-speed clock distribution in the transmission line mode (e.g., multichip modules) where interconnection delay dominates the clock delay, buffer congestion might exist in a layout. Using many buffers in a small wiring area results in substantial interline crosstalks as well as wirability, when the elongation of the imbalanced subtrees is necessary. Placing buffers evenly (locally or globally) over the plane at the minimum impact on wire length increase helps avoid buffer congestion and results in less crosstalk between clock wires. Thus, an effective technique for buffer distribution is proposed. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms. (3) Finally, a postprocessing step constraining on phase-delay is also proposed. The technique is based on a combination of hierarchical bottom-up geometric matching and bounded radius minimum spanning tree. The proposed algorithm has an important application in MCM clock net synthesis as well as VLSI clock net synthesis.<

A unified design methodology for CMOS tapered buffersPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 99 - 111
Cited by: Papers (54) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1431 KB)
In this paper, the various disparate approaches to CMOS tapered buffer design are unified into an integrated design methodology. Circuit speed, power dissipation, physical area, and system reliability are the four performance criteria of concern in tapered buffers, and each places a separate, often conflicting, constraint on the design of a tapered buffer. Enhanced short-channel tapered buffer design equations are presented for propagation delay and power dissipation, as well as a new split-capacitor model of hot-carrier reliability of tapered buffers and a two-component physical area model. Each performance criterion is individually investigated and analyzed with respect to the number of stages and tapering factor, and the interaction of the four criteria is examined to develop both a qualitative and a quantitative understanding of the various design tradeoffs. The creation of process dependent look-up tables for optimal buffer design is described, and a methodology to apply these look-up tables to application-specific tapered buffers for both unconstrained and constrained systems is developed.<

A practical methodology for the statistical design of complex logic products for performancePublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 112 - 123
Cited by: Papers (19) | Patents (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1575 KB)
Contradictory trends in the industrial design environment have increased uncertainty while decreasing the tolerance to uncertainty. Worst case design techniques, still widely used in industry, do not provide the accuracy required to design under these conditions. On the other hand, statistical design techniques do provide a significant improvement in accuracy, by virtue of their "circuit adaptive" behavior, but at a substantial cost in computational effort. One practical solution to improving the accuracy of worst case design without sacrificing efficiency is considered here. It integrates an efficient statistical circuit simulator with worst case design tools into a hierarchical performance design process. It employs two stages of worst case analysis, calibrated with statistical circuit simulation, serving as filters to screen out circuits that easily meet their performance requirements. This focuses the use of statistical circuit simulation on those circuits for which the improved accuracy provides significant benefit. This methodology has been applied with outstanding results in design and manufacturing.<

Physical models and algorithms for optoelectronic MCM layoutPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 124 - 135
Cited by: Papers (3)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1365 KB)
Future computers will need to incorporate the parallelism of optical interconnections in order to achieve projected performance within reasonable size, power and speed constraints. This is necessary since optical interconnections have advantages in size, power, and speed over "long" distance communication. These features make optical interconnects ideal for inter-module connections in multichip module systems. Free-space optical interconnection can be one form of optical interconnections. Computer generated holograms (CGHs) are extremely attractive optical components for use in free space optical interconnections due to their ability to be computer designed. We will show that the fabrication limitations of CGHs for general interconnection networks require the need for placement algorithms for large processing element (PEs) arrays. In this paper, we will demonstrate that these fundamental CGH fabrication limitations greatly influence the computer aided design of optoelectronic interconnect networks that utilize CGHs for optical interconnections. Specifically, we show that the minimum feature size directly affects the logical placement of processing elements. Various physical models for free-space optical interconnects in parallel optoelectronic MCM systems are then identified from which we derive several logical models for analysis. We then analyze these cases and present algorithms to solve the associated layout problems. Design examples are given to illustrate the benefits of utilizing these placement algorithms in real optoelectronic interconnection networks.<

An architecture for a DSP field-programmable gate arrayPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 136 - 141
Cited by: Papers (4) | Patents (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (533 KB)
This paper describes an application specific architecture for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Emphasis is placed on the logic module architecture and channel segmentation for the FPGAs targeted for application areas related to digital signal processing (DSP). The proposed logic module architecture is well-suited for efficient implementation of frequently used logic functions in the DSP application area. This is mainly because it is possible to implement most of these functions using one logic module, which results in a reduction in both the net lengths and the number of antifuses used. The performance improvements are achieved by customizing the logic module architecture and the programmable interconnect to suit the requirements of DSP applications.<

On general zero-skew clock net constructionPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 141 - 146
Cited by: Papers (6)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (648 KB)
We propose a simulated annealing based zero-skew clock net construction algorithm that works in any routing spaces, from Manhattan to Euclidean, with the added flexibility of optimizing either the wire length or the propagation delay. We first devise an O(log n) tree grafting perturbation function to construct a zero-skew clock tree under the Elmore delay model. This tree grafting scheme is able to explore the entire solution space asymptotically. A Gauss-Seidel iteration procedure is then applied to optimize the Steiner point positions. Experimental results have shown that our algorithm can achieve substantial delay reduction and encouraging wire length minimization compared to previous works.<

C-testable design techniques for iterative logic arraysPublication Year: 1995 , Page(s): 146 - 152
Cited by: Papers (13)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (663 KB)
A design-for-testability (DFT) approach for VLSI iterative logic arrays (ILA's) is proposed, which results in a small constant number of test patterns. Our technique applies to arrays with an arbitrary dimension, and to arrays with various connection types, e.g., hexagonal or octagonal ones. Bilateral ILA's are also discussed. The DFT technique makes general ILA's C-testable by using a truth-table augmentation approach. We propose an output-assignment algorithm for minimizing the hardware overhead. We give a CMOS systolic array multiplier as an example, and show that an overhead of no more than 5.88% is sufficient to make it C-testable, i.e., 100% single cell-fault testable with only 18 test patterns regardless of the word length of the multiplier. Our technique guarantees that the test set is easy to generate. Its corresponding built-in-self-test structures are also very simple.<

Some hard to find plants now at Baker's
Just got back from Baker's Nursery, they have been getting a lot of interesting tropicals lately. Two types of Loquat, a big variety of bananas, some really nice dwarf Buddah's hand citrons, Goji berries, Manilla mango and even some Paypaya.
But, I was looking to buy some Alphonse Karr bamboo, and, in the last week they got a shipment of some really rare and hard to find varieties. They have one plant of Spectkalis (Chinese walking cane bamboo), its a big beautiful plant, but its a runner. They had Arrow (running) that was a good 6 ft tall, Rufa "Green Panda" clumping bamboo that only grows 6 to 8 feet high, and Koi bamboo, which I bought to fill in my hedge space. Prices for these new strains was $52, which isn't too bad. They also had lots of Buddah's Belly, Giant Timber, Black (running), Golden (running), Golden Goddess, and some Mexican Weeping.
It seems like this season there is a lot of tropical plants available, good to see some variety!
LOL! I am not a paid employee of Bakers. Often, I'll wait for HD and Lowes to have the same thing if possible. I did see Cherimoya at Lowes today, I've never seen that for sale here, even at Tropica Mango.
Its just nice to see some variety lately.
Also, on Oct 30, the AZ rare fruit growers will have their annual sale at the extension office on 43rd St and Broadway, lots of fun stuff.
Great information, thanks for posting it! I will be taking a new-to-Phoenix transplant (person, not plant, LOL) to Baker's this weekend to show it to her, so I'll definitely check out the new stuff. I've been to Berridge a lot lately, and some of the Harper's, and last weekend I did the Botanical Garden's autumn plant sale (oink oink) but it's time to share the wealth with wonderful Baker nursery too. I'll see what I can do this weekend, and hopefully make my friend a convert as well.
Great information about the rare fruit sale too--I'll plan on going.
Take care,
phxplantaddict I am a little broke right now. (Big understatement) and there are some other trees I would like to purchase from mail order firms first. But I will keep you in mind as I lost one do to herbicide a couple years ago. Right now I only know of one mail order nursery that sells good sized Loquats and I would rather buy from you. If you still have any in December we may be able to work something out.
Sorry for delay. 35th and Bell. Loquats are Big Jim and Champagne. And on a related subject, the gentleman asking about Cherimoyas on another thread came and bought a tree with fruit and flowers on it today. The Cherimoyas do fruit here. Morning or filtered sun, afternoon shade, lots of mulch and compost.
Stopped by Bakers today for the first time and we loved it!! Huge variety of plants and everything looked really healthy. Not much in the way of service (nobody even acknowledged us) but we picked up two 15-gal cascalotes for $16.95 each and can't wait to get them into the ground tomorrow!
Thanks again for posting about the Rare Fruit Growers Sale! I went yesterday and picked up two dwarf fruiting bananas (I already have the seedy but fun Japanese fiber banana (Musa basjoo), plus a white sapote and a "Cherry of the Rio Grande" which I really bought for the common name, LOL (it's a Eugenia).
This is a fun thread--thanks for starting, and continuing it! :)
Take care all,
I picked up an Ice Cream Banana and a Suriname Cherry plant at the rare fruit sale yesterday, and found a Silverstripe Bamboo at HD on Friday. Guess what I'm doing today?
Bakers has 2 different kind of loquat, Big Jim, and another that I can't remember, they aren't really big, they will easily fit in your car.
Thisisme, check at Lowes for a Loquat. They did have some Big Jims at the Ellsworth/ Southern store.I believe they were around $25.
I have an SUV and getting some of the trees that I want is a problem for me too. I have a trailer but there is no place to turn it around at Bakers. Sometimes just parking your truck is a problem let alone with a trailer. I even asked them and they said it wasn't a good idea.
I picked up a Jelly Palm (Butia Capitata) at the sale. There wasn't a whole bunch left when I went there that I was interested in since I was looking for some rarer things.
They did have really good prices on their bananas but I already have 3 different kinds and want to see how that goes before I get any more.
They will have another sale in April.
agility_mom I love my car but once or twice I year I sure wish I owned a truck. I will check out the Lowe's and see what they have after I get paid. There is a nursery in Tuscon that that orders a bunch of low chill fruit trees from Dave Wilson Nursery. If I had a truck I would be there when they arrive in early January.
eugruob I have never grown banana's but I have heard that the Ice Cream is one of the better ones to grow here. Bakers is a lot further away than Lowe's for me so I would only run over there is Lowe's is out.
Here is a link that might be useful: Mesquite Valley Growers Nursery DWN Order.
Bakers will be getting their low chill fruit trees and other plants in late December/early January. They order from Dave Wilson and L.E Cooke nurseries to name 2. So, if you go to those 2 nursery's websites and see something that you want, you can talk to the order guy at Bakers. He will hold orders for you of the various things that you want. I have done this for the last 3 or 4 years and it works out great. I get the plants that I want w/o worrying that they will sell out of the plants that "I have to have".
Another thing is that the man that orders things for the Lowes garden center that I mentioned told me that he can also order me things.
So, there are 2 options closer to home.
Hey, Thisisme. I have a small truck with a tunnel cover. I can't haul big trees but can move smaller ones with the tops hanging out the back:)
OK,, I googled loquats and wish I had a place for one here at my "Little Dump in the Desert", not to be confused with the "Little house on the Prairie":)
I was a good gardener in Washington, but here in Az. I feel like a total newbie to it all, but I am determined to learn again:)
lulu2 I think a 9ft Loquat would fit with 2-3ft sticking out the back of an average small truck. If you are willing to pick up a tree or two from phxplanaddict for me I would be willing to buy one for you for your trouble. Or I could give you a couple 25 gallon pots instead if you prefer. If you don't think a good sized one will fit I will just pick up a smaller one at Lowe's.
By the way UC Davis has some great videos on gardening and growing fruit trees in a climate similar to ours.
Hey, Thisisme.... Sorry for not getting back with you right away,,, we are priming the exterior of our house. I won't be painting until the weekend because of the heat wave, but have lots of caulking to do. Maybe we could move the trees Thursday,,, hmm. Let me know:)
phxplantaddict I was going to email you but your email function is not turned on.
Another forum member and I are working on a plan to pick up some trees. I guess the most important questions I have now are...
What size are the grafted varieties?
Are they the same price?
Need an address as distance is an issue.
thisisme If you haven't been to Mesquite Valley Growers in Tucson yet, you have to check it out. I have driven down twice this year from Phoenix. It blows everything I've seen here away. There is a great chance you don't have to wait until January to get what you want. I went there the first time in Feb to get Minnie Royal & Royal Lee cherries. Bakers was out of stock already. When I called MVG they said their intent was to never run out again. They had dozens to choose from on different root stocks. They had dozens of avocados in #5, #7 & #15. I thought I was in paradise. I took my wife the 2nd time, we could have easily stayed overnight & browsed another day. I wish we had something like this in Phoenix, but I haven't found it. You will definitely need a truck, I filled mine up both times. It makes for a great day trip.
desert dawg Thats a good idea. I will think about it for sure. They will have a better selection in January. But even so, planting now has a big advantage over planting in January. I will have to balance that with my health issues. I don't travel well and its about a 2 1/2hr trip each way on a good day.
thisisme You might also try www.BayLaurelNursery.com. You can order next years Dave Wilson stock now. They don't charge your credit card until they ship. I ordered next years cherries on an 8' dwarfing rootstock that will ship Jan 3. I've ordered from them & Raintree before to get Dave Wilson Nursery stuff. Both are great. Also I've ordered from a tropical mailorder place in Punta Gorda, FL before. They are the best packers in the business. They have a huge variety of stuff. Important to me was avocados on west indian rootstock. All three have the advantage of not having to leave the house. I'm determined to get some avocados to the fruiting stage. I have at least a dozen varieties on different rootstocks growing in different areas of sun & shade. My yard is like a giant avocado experiment. Hopefully I will get one or two to produce. I am encouraged by a few of them, but only time will tell. I'm also excited about the possibility of cherries. I like growing the things people tell me will not grow here. The odd thing is I don't eat avocados or cherries. Lucky for me, I have a wife & grandchildren who love both.
Hi everyone,
I am moving to Maricopa in the near future. I have purchased a house there. I am reading the AZ forums with a much interest, and cannot wait to get my new back yard planted. I am very anxious to put a tropical in the ground and actually see it grow all year 'round! I have made a list of plants and nursery's and this February I am going to 'shop 'til I drop'
phxplantaddict, I am unable to email you. Could you email me with an addy that is usable? I will be down in Maricopa in February.
In the mean time, if anyone knows of other good nurseries, please let me know.
BTW, I have a 7 year old loquat, 5' high, in a 5 gal pot, which I haul in and out of the greenhouse twice a year. Getting one into the ground, and actually having it bear fruit will be a dream come true!
