Easier UVM Sequences - SystemVerilog UVM Sequence and Task Equivalence
Rich Edelman, Alain Gonier (Mentor Graphics)
SystemVerilog [1] UVM [2] sequences [4][5] are a powerful way to model stimulus and response for functional verification. Unfortunately using SystemVerilog UVM sequences can require an extensive background in SystemVerilog, the UVM and object oriented programming. This paper explains a collection of techniques to allow the power of sequences with familiarity and simplicity of calling tasks.
Using SystemVerilog UVM, sequences can be built to provide stimulus and checking capabilities for tests and verification IP. These sequences allow for powerful control over randomization and generation of scenarios for test stimulus.
Verification IP is used to simplify the verification task. For example, an AMBA® AXI [3] verification IP can be used to generate AXI traffic, or send simple burst commands, or even just one transfer on a single channel. Todayâs verification IP is being packaged with UVM sequences as a way to control the IP.
Providing sequences as a way to control the Verification IP allows full flexibility for powerful stimulus generation. Unfortunately using a sequence interface for Verification IP may require knowledge about SystemVerilog, randomization, constraints, object-oriented programming and detailed UVM. Many verification teams lack this knowledge.
This knowledge gap can be filled with a simple task based interface around the UVM sequence-based verification IP. The remainder of this paper will describe such an interface, and provide an example using it. These techniques can be adopted for any SystemVerilog UVM sequence interface.
Verilog Tasks
The Verilog language has contained tasks since its beginning. A task is a collection of statements that perform some common function. Furthermore, a task is different than a Verilog function in that it can consume time.
The task above is named âreadâ, and takes two arguments. The first argument, âaddrâ, is an input to the task. The second argument, âdataâ, is an output from the task. The task body performs the desired functionality â in this case, performing a read on a bus by placing the address on the bus, setting the bus ârwâ signal, and then waiting for two clocks. After the second clock, the data is retrieved form the bus and assigned to the data return argument. Then the task returns.
A sequence is really just a fancy name for a function or task call [4]. It is called a sequence because its main use is to generate a sequence of transactions. The sequence could be from 1 to N transactions, or could be no transactions. A transaction is just an abstraction of some communication. For example WRITE(34, 20) is a transaction that tells a component to write address 34 with the value 20.
A simple sequence might iterate through an address range, first writing, then reading and checking the value read against the value written. Such a sequence is listed below as ârw_sequenceâ.
The sequence above is a class definition named ârw_sequenceâ which contains 3 member variables, âlow_addrâ, âhigh_addrâ and âdataâ. They are each random a variable, and may have constraints such as the âvalâ constraint which controls the values of low_addr and high_addr. Low_addr must be 0 or greater. High_addr must be greater than low_addr, and must be less than 256.
The âbodyâ task is simple. It goes through each address between low_addr and high_addr, issuing a write, then a read followed by a check.
Sequence / Task Equivalence
Given the sequence above, you could imagine a task named ârwâ implemented as
This task first constructs a new sequence and then fills in the sequence member variables with the values from the task arguments. Then the task calls âs.start(sqr)â. Calling start means the sequence will execute. The body task of the sequence will be called.
This task is the simple gasket used to fill the gap between the task based world and the sequence based world.
Not every verification engineer will need to write tasks like this. A verification IP developer may include this layer with the UVM sequences for ease of use, or a testbench architect may create this layer for internal use on the verification team.
Simple Task with Arguments
A simple task with arguments was demonstrated above in the read task and the rw task. Besides input arguments and output arguments, a task can also have ref arguments. Input arguments are passed in to (copied into) the task. Output arguments are passed out (copied out) of the task. These arguments are pass-by-value. The task gets a copy of the input value and returns a copy for the outputs. The potential exists for a lot of copied data.
SystemVerilog also allows task arguments to be references (ref arguments). No copy is made, and a value can be passed in and a changed value can be returned. Ref arguments are pass-by-reference. Ref arguments are convenient for arguments that have an input value which will be modified or for arguments that are large.
Once the task arguments have their types and input/output/ref decided, then it is a simple matter of transferring the data from task arguments to class member variables. The task input arguments should be copied to the sequence ârandâ variables. After the sequence has been run (after the sequence start returns), the output class member variables are assigned to the task output variables (see the read task below for an output variable).
A simple read task and a write task, invoking the read_seq sequence and write_seq sequence respectively.
In the code block below, the task ârwâ is being called with 4 arguments. The ârwâ task has been changed to have an output argument named âcrcâ. The crc is returned, and a sum is created as the loop progresses.
Sequence Member Variables.
In a sequence, member variables are the inputs and outputs. A variable marked ârandâ is thought of as an input variable. It is a variable that can be randomized and take different values. A variable not marked ârandâ is thought of as an output variable. It is the result or value of the operation.
When the number of arguments gets large, or the data types of the arguments get large (such as large array of data), it can be useful to use the sequence directly, and not even have the task. The sequence handle can be constructed, randomized and started by the inline test code.
Using A Sequence Handle Directly
A task call is a convenient way to hide the complexities of the sequence, but in addition to simplifying, it also removes much of the power of sequences. A sequence handle can be used directly â accessing the fields of the sequence as needed.
Declare the sequence âsâ. Construct the sequence âsâ. Assign class member variables in âsâ (low_addr and high_addr). Start the sequence on the proper sequencer. Retrieve any calculated or output value (crc in this case).
Randomizing a sequence handle
A task with arguments provides a way to interface to a sequence with member variables but misses out on one of the most powerful parts of sequences â randomization of member variables.
In the code block below, the sequence âsâ is declared. Sequence âsâ is constructed and then randomized each time through the for loop. After randomization the sequence is started on the proper sequencer.
The Container Module
Tasks provide a familiar way to interact with UVM sequences. There are some minor details that must be managed. The sequence âruns onâ a sequencer. A sequencer is part of the design of the UVM Agent based verification IP.
Figure 1 - Task interacting with VIP Agent
When we say a sequence runs on a sequencer, we mean that under normal circumstances a sequence requests access to a driver by allowing the sequencer to arbitrate requests. For the task to send requests and get responses from the driver, it also needs to have a sequencer.
The task based simplification needs to have a sequencer handle available. This is most easy by using a container like a module. The module âmâ below is such a module.
Module m contains a sequencer name and a sequencer handle. The handle will be filled in based on a call to the UVM âfindâ command. Before the find command (or any part of the UVM ) can be used, we must be sure what state it is in. We synchronize with the UVM using the âwait_for_stateâ call to wait until the UVM phasing engine enters the run_phase PHASE_STARTED state. Once it has entered that state we are guaranteed that the components are built and ready to use.
We instantiate this module like any other Verilog module, and then we use the UVM find command to find the proper sequencer, and save a handle to it. Now we can say that this module instance is âconnected toâ or can make requests of the sequencer and in turn can send transactions to the driver.
The module m contains tasks which act as the gasket to the sequences. The tasks âreadâ and âwriteâ below build a sequence of the appropriate type (read_seq or write_seq) by calling new. Before we use the start call to run the sequence, we synchronize with the UVM to make sure we are in a known state (run_phase::UVM_PHASE_STARTED).
After the sequence is constructed we copy the task arguments into the sequence class member variables.
Then we call s.start(sqr) which causes the sequence named âsâ to be run on the sequencer âsqrâ. Internal UVM plumbing will cause the sequence âbodyâ routine to be called. The body task is the definition of this sequence. The body task is the behavior.
After âstartâ returns the sequence has completed execution. At that time we can copy the data value from the sequence class member variable into the output argument âdataâ.
The container module could be a SystemVerilog interface or class. It doesnât matter as long as a container is used to help manage things like the sequencer name and handle, and is used to contain the tasks that are valid with this particular interface and collection of sequences.
Using the Container Module
The container module is instantiated just like any Verilog module. In the code below we have two instances of module m (m_A and m_B). The initial block begins by setting the sequencer_name that each module instance should connect to. One module connects to one interface.
Synchronizing with UVM Phasing
Using wait_for_state, the code synchronizes with the UVM run_phase.
Once synchronized, the first thing that happens in the testbench is that an objection is raised. This is a UVM mechanism to end simulation. Simulation will end when no objections are raised. So the method is raise the objection, do the tests, lower the objection, wait for all objections to end, exit simulation.
Figure 2 - VIP Agent based Test
The sequencer is just an arbiter which arbitrates multiple sequences which desire access to the driver. The sequencer can be retrieved in many ways, the example below uses find.
SystemVerilog UVM sequences are very powerful, but are sometimes more complex than users are comfortable with. Using a task based interface can fill the complexity gap by providing a more familiar use model while at the same time preserving the power of sequences. Both the task based interface and sequences can be used alongside each other.

CARTHAGE, MO.--- A local man is working to bring a bike rally to Carthage in June. Thunder, it's Chris Howell's nickname and the namesake behind his vision for a bike rally.
"This is my hometown so I wanted to do something amazing here," said Chris Howell, Founder of the Rally.
It may be empty now, but Howell envisions Kellogg Lake packed with bikers and bands this June 13th through the 15th.
"We have the Maple Leaf in the fall, so hopefully we can do something in the spring, early summer. So you have something big in the beginning and big in the end," said Howell.
Wendi Douglas with the Carthage Convention and Visitors Bureau says the event would be a great addition to Carthage's activities.
"I think it's a great event for Carthage. There aren't any similar events here locally, so it'll be exciting to bring a bunch of bikers to Carthage," said Wendi Douglas, Carthage CVB.
Howell says he's always had a fascination with bikes.
"The Harlies, the bikes, the brotherhood with being a biker," said Howell.
For him, part of that brotherhood means giving back to the local agencies. Money raised will go toward combat veterans and helping the Carthage police officers buy gifts for children at Christmas.
"The other goal behind this is to have a charitable bike ride," said Howell.
He's hoping for a big turnout for a good cause in his own backyard.
"Hopefully, it grows next year and gets even bigger," said Howell.
Howell plans to meet with a Carthage committee on March 3rd to move forward with plans. For more information on the event and activities, click here.

Flour Bluff youth, 15, considered a runaway
Christian Glen Hall last seen aboard yacht
Police are asking for help in locating a 15-year-old Flour Bluff boy who was last seen aboard a yacht in the Gulf of Mexico.
Christian Glen Hall is considered a runaway and welfare concern, police said.
"His mother reported that the child left with a 39-year-old man on Nov. 24," Police Cmdr. Mike Walsh said. "But she didn't report him a runaway until Jan. 4."
Walsh said detectives have been trying to gather information from the family, Coast Guard officials and friends of David Andrews.
Police said Christian is believed to have left with Andrews on a boat trip to Key West, Fla., aboard the 54-foot yacht Gypsy II. The teenager left without his mother's consent, Walsh said.
A mayday call that the yacht was taking on water was received Nov. 26by the Coast Guard in New Orleans, according to police. A civilian vessel located the Gypsy II about 65 miles southeast of Cameron, La., but those aboard told Coast Guard officials the man and teenager on board refused assistance.
On Nov. 27, Coast Guard crews sent a Falcon jet over the area in the Gulf of Mexico, but the yacht was not found.
"We are concerned about the welfare of both of these people," Walsh said.

Squirrel Hayes school shut as pupils struck by norovirus bug
Posted: December 04, 2012|
DOZENS of pupils and staff at a school were struck down by a stomach bug – forcing it to close for five days.
Squirrel Hayes First School, in Biddulph, has confirmed that a 'high proportion' of the school's 130 children suffered from sickness and diarrhoea after it was hit with the norovirus bug.
The Springfield Road school was forced to close on Friday, November 23 while a deep clean was carried out. It re-opened last Thursday.
Headteacher Erica Smith said: "The school was closed last week due to an outbreak of sickness and diarrhoea.

"Thanks to the hard work of staff and the local authority who performed a deep clean of the school, we were able to open last Thursday, which was earlier than expected. "While they were off school, all children had learning packs via the school's website and through James Bateman Junior High School so they could continue their learning.
"Parents have been very positive about the action we took to close the school and help contain the infection, and we are pleased to be open again and back to normal."
Robert Grant's five-year-old son Leo was struck down with the illness. The 36-year-old, of Biddulph, said: "He came home on the Thursday and he was really sick.
"At first I thought it was just a little bug, but when the school closed I worried it was something more.
"Normally, when children are sick, they are still allowed to go into the school, but the school was completely closed off, which automatically made me think it was contaminated."
Mr Grant added: "I still don't know where it came from and the school won't tell us, but it must have been a pretty bad outbreak for them to close it for so long."
The news of the bug comes just two weeks after The Sentinel reported how two Staffordshire Moorlands schools suffered an outbreak last month.
Staff at St Giles Catholic Primary School in Cheadle and St Thomas Catholic Primary School in Tean came down with the bug after attending a joint training day.
It resulted in the closure of the Cheadle school for two days.
A spokesman for the Heath and Protection Agency (HPA) said: "Cases of norovirus, also known as the winter vomiting bug, are not uncommon at this time of year and the infection is particularly difficult to contain when it gets into environments where people mix in close proximity, such as schools. "
"Although people usually recover without treatment in 24-72 hours, it is important to stay away from work, school or college until they have been free of symptoms for at least 48 hours."

Memphis Rallies Past No. 4 Rice; Clinches Spot in C-USA Championship Game
May 24, 2012
PEARL, Miss. - Timely hitting by freshmen and a two-out RBI single by T.J. Rich rallied Memphis (31-26) past No. 4 Rice (40-16) 3-2 on Thursday at the Conference USA Championship presented by Trustmark. With the win, the Tigers clinch a spot in the C-USA Championship game at 1 p.m. on Sunday at Trustmark Park.
Trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the seventh, freshmen Bryce Beeler and Keaton Aldridge recorded RBI in the inning to knot the score at 2-2. Derrick Thomas reached on an error to start the inning and a hit-and-run allowed him to advance to second on grounder to first. Beeler singled to left to drive in Thomas and he stole second to move to scoring position. Aldridge came through with the clutch two-out double to right center to tie the game at 2-2.
Back-to-back two-out singles by Eli Hynes and Derrick Thomas set up T.J. Rich with an opportunity to drive in the winning run and he did just that as he drilled a single to left-center to drive in pinch-runner Zac Carter. With Carter crossing the plate, the Tigers clinched a spot in their first C-USA Championship game and first appearance in a conference tournament title game since the 1995 Great Midwest Tournament.
Memphis erased a leadoff double in the top of the eighth to keep the teams even at 2-2. J.T. Chargois started the inning with a double to the left field corner, but Memphis starter Dan Langfield recorded his seventh strikeout of the night to put one out on the board. Craig Manuel laced a liner to left that centerfielder Ford Wilson tracked down and relayed in to second base for the inning-ending double play.
Rice jumped out to an early lead as the Owls posted two runs before the Tigers posted an out. A leadoff walk to Ford Stainback proved to be the first run as he scored on a double down the right field line that was misplayed in the corner. Christian Stringer, who roped the double, moved to third on the error and scored on a RBI single through the left side by Chargois.
The Tigers didn't move a runner to scoring position until the fourth inning. Eli Hynes ripped a single through the left side with one out and advanced to second on a wild pitch. Rice starter Austin Kubitza stranded Hynes as second as he struck out T.J. Rich to end the inning.
Hynes and Aldridge led the offense with two hits each and Memphis edged the Owls 8-7 in the hit column. Langfield (7-6) picked up the win as he pitched eight innings and allowed two runs on six hits. Jonathan Van Eaton earned his seventh save of the season as he allowed one hit in the ninth before closing it out.
The win over No. 4 Rice improved the Tigers record to 4-3 against top-10 opponents, the most in any season in program history. Overall, Memphis is 6-8 against the top-25 this season, most wins against top-25 opponents since 1982 when the club went 6-3. Memphis battles Houston on Friday at 7 p.m. before playing the C-USA Championship game on Sunday at 1 p.m.

SNELLVILLE -- Ever considered running a 5K, a 10K or a half marathon? How about all three on the same morning?
That's what Cyndi Eggers did Saturday. In her training for the upcoming Boston Marathon, the Lawrenceville business owner tackled each race one by one during the 19th installment of Run the Reagan.
Billed as "Gwinnett County's Premier Road Race," the event brought out thousands who braved chilly weather Saturday morning. The charitable event kicked off with the half-marathon, followed by a 10K and 5K race. This year's event brought out about 2,500 people according to event organizers.
For those running all three -- Eggers -- it was a matter of pacing.
"I think I have to look at it as a regular weekend training run," Eggers said. "I can't get caught up in a time goal. It's good training for the Boston Marathon."
Considered one of the world's most prestigious road racing events, the Boston Marathon is scheduled for April 15.
As far as Gwinnett County resident Alyssa Branson is concerned, Run the Reagan is one of the best races in the country too.
"We come out most every year," said Branson, who showed up early Saturday to cheer on her friend, who was running. "It's like a good community-feeling kind of deal. You get to see some of the folks you saw last year, It's a little like a reunion."
Added Branson: "Plus, it's a great race."
The only drawback, Branson said, was the weather. "It's so cold out here," she said, shivering.
The area saw temperatures in the upper 30s, according to the National Weather Service in Peachtree City. Despite the chill, event organizer Tom Mayfield said the event was a big success.
"It was chilly, but the sun came out and made it a decent day," said Mayfield following the race Saturday afternoon. "Once the sun came out it at least made you feel like you were warm."
Mayfield said the race had a great turnout, echoing the success of previous events.
According to its website, Run The Reagan was created to serve the community by providing "a premiere event that draws positive attention to Gwinnett County. It also provides a fun atmosphere for families in the area to participate together in a healthy activity, and raises funds to meet the needs of families and children in our community."

Rogers State, OSUIT Combine Efforts to Develop Strong Workforce
OSU Institute of Technology and Rogers State University are joining together to develop stronger career pathways for students that will produce an educated and highly skilled workforce for the state.
Articulation agreements between the two institutions were signed Dec. 3, as OSUIT President Bill R. Path and RSU President Larry Rice participated in a signing ceremony held at the MidAmerica Industrial Park at Pryor.
"As institutions of higher education, our primary goals are to equip students for their future and ensure what they learn while enrolled translates to what they need to know when they embark on their careers," Path said. "Northeast Oklahoma has a workforce deficit in key skilled labor sectors, and we believe that the synergy of OSUIT and RSU can result in a larger pool of talent for employers."
As a result of the agreements, OSUIT students may now transfer their associate degree seamlessly to RSU and finish their education with a bachelor's degree in their field. Also, students who transfer from OSUIT to RSU prior to completing their degree may later apply those hours earned from RSU toward an associate degree at OSUIT.
"Both OSUIT and RSU share a mission to provide educational opportunities for Oklahomans and increase the number of state residents who hold college degrees," Rice said. "We are fully committed to help our students get the maximum value for the college credit they have earned and, most importantly, assist them in the successful completion of their degree."
The location for the signing symbolized the two institutions' ongoing partnership with MidAmerica Industrial Park, as both will have campuses at the park when RSU's new campus opens in January. As Oklahoma's largest industrial park, MidAmerica is recognized for attracting global manufacturing, processing and distribution firms. The educational partnership between OSUIT and RSU will serve workforce development needs not only for the industrial park, but for business and industry throughout the region.
"The presence of both universities here at MidAmerica has been a win-win for everyone involved," said David Stewart, MAIP Administrator. "They are taking the lead, through collaborative efforts, to deliver high-quality academic programs which will develop a world-class workforce for the benefit of our regional economy."
For more information, contact Scott Fry at OSUIT MidAmerica by calling 918-825-4678 or Sherry Alexander at RSU's Pryor campus by calling 918-825-6117.

The Leonardo bringing 'Animal Inside Out' exhibit in May
Animals will take over The Leonardo in May.
The science/technology museum announced today its next exhibit: "Animal Inside Out," a look at anatomy in the animal kingdom created by the folks behind "Body Worlds."
The exhibit, "Body Worlds' Animal Inside Out," features animals whose tissue has undergone the same "plastination" techniques pioneered by Dr. Gunther von Hagens on human specimens in the "Body Worlds" exhibits.
The exhibit shows animal skeletons, muscles, organs and circulatory systems, displaying the complex biology of ostriches, giraffes, bulls, camels and more.
"Animal Inside Out" will open at The Leonardo, 209 E. 500 South, Salt Lake City, on Saturday, May 10, and run through Monday, Sept. 1 — Labor Day.
After that, The Leonardo will be opening another "Body Worlds" exhibit, "The Cycle of Life." This exhibit will demonstrate the human body through an entire lifespan.
Tickets for "Animal Inside Out" range from $13 to $19, and The Leonardo will also sell combination packages for both "Animal Inside Out" and "The Cycle of Life" for $22 to $30. Go to the museum's website for ticket information.
By the way, The Leonardo's exhibit of the Dead Sea Scrolls is on display through April 27.

Antonio Cassano made his comeback today playing in Milan's friendly test against the youth team.
The Italian international was given the all-clear by medics this week to resume his playing career after undergoing surgery for a congenital heart defect in October.
He took part in a 45-minute match against the youth team, made up of three 15-minute spells, and Cassano partnered Maxi Lopez with support from Stephan El Shaarawy.
Maxi got a brace, while El Shaarawy and Gianluca Zambrotta also scored in the 4-2 victory.
Mark van Bommel and Thiago Silva are highly unlikely to be back in the next week, while Alexandre Pato still requires tests after limping off just 13 minutes into his comeback against Barcelona.

HOUSTON (AP) - Texans Pro Bowl linebacker Brian Cushing is out for the season with a left knee injury that will require surgery.
Cushing was injured in the third quarter of Sunday's loss at Kansas City during a low block by running back Jamaal Charles. It's the second straight year Cushing has been lost for the year with a left knee injury. He tore the anterior cruciate ligament in the same knee in Week 5 last season.
The Texans signed Cushing to a six-year contract worth $55.6 million before this season.
Coach Gary Kubiak said injuries to left tackle Duane Brown (ankle), running back Arian Foster (hamstring) and Ben Tate (ribs) aren't serious.
Kubiak also said rookies Cierre Wood, Sam Montgomery and Willie Jefferson were released for violating team rules.

Roshell: What if my kid's gay?
It's difficult to predict that a child will be gay
It's probably unwise to wonder this aloud, but that's never stopped me before: What if you suspect your child is gay? Or — you know — will be gay eventually?
My own boys seem humdrumly hetero thus far, but I've known lots of kids who bucked traditional gender stereotypes to the extent that I wondered if they were gays-in-the-making.
A person's sexual orientation can be neither truly discovered nor fully revealed until said person is, well, sexual. And yet there are those kids ...
"My daughter has always wanted boy toys and boy clothes and her best buddies are boys. I'd say she was a possible future Chaz," says a friend of mine, only half-jokingly. "But it's hard to say. Boy clothes really are more comfortable and boy games more fun. Ever play Pretty Pretty Princess?!"
Another friend suspects her kindergartner may wave a rainbow flag one day. "He loves to play beauty shop, has known the difference between mascara and eyeliner since he was 3 and will always comment on a new haircut or dress. He's obsessed with drawing hearts and rainbows and has told me that he'd like to marry boys," she says. "Perhaps this is all typical 5-year-old boy stuff but my guess is that it isn't so much."
How do we know, though, if they're merely staunch individualists, or if they're in fact marching toward the Pride Parade? More importantly — why do we care?
Though we may have hunches about our kids, experts say we can't ever really tell.
"A parent's suspicions can run ahead of a child's awareness," says Texas psychologist David Sabine. "But no one ever 'knows' before the gay person knows about it personally."
Or, as gay Iowa psychiatrist Loren Olson says, "We don't become 'gay' until we begin to self-identify as gay."
And it's important not to rush them.
"I didn't come out until I was 40," says Dr. Olson, author of "Finally Out: Letting Go of Living Straight, a Psychiatrist's Own Story." He played football as a boy because it was expected of him, but what he really wanted was to dance, sew and twirl a baton. "I would have been very threatened (as a teen) if someone had said, 'You don't like sports, you must be gay.' "
Even if you're way gay-friendly — even if you're Straight But Not Narrow, as the new online campaign advocates — you might be uneasy about having a gay child. It's not the easiest path through life.
"We want to protect our children from whatever pain we can," says Dr. Olson, who has two daughters and six grandkids himself. "Being gay presents certain difficulties including bullying, rejection, shaming and of course, in extreme cases, hate-related aggression."
So, what can we do with that sizable wad of worry? How can we prepare ourselves — and our kids — for what may well be an anxiety-taxed discovery process for both parties?
First, advises David Sabine, "Let go of the idea that you have any say in the matter, or any influence. It would be like trying to 'worry' your child into being 6 feet tall rather than 5-foot-6. It's simply above your pay grade."
Then show your kids that you're on their side — whichever side that winds up being. "When the issue of homosexuality comes up in a movie or in the news, let your children hear you express acceptance of those who are gay," he says. "Even though my children are apparently straight, they've heard me say, 'If God decides that a certain number of children will be gay, I wish God would give me one so that I could love them and support them the way that they should be.' "

So the big scramble now is to try and find ways to measure the effectiveness of social media plays. But given the poor job the ad industry has done with measuring the effectiveness of TV commercials, serious caution is advised.
TV and Social Media have a lot in common as advertising vehicles: both are primarily branding devices that result in a positive feeling about a product, service or company. In other words, no action is required beyond "love my brand." The inability to know exactly how (and when) this love actually influences consumers has lead to the creation of an entire industry devoted to testing TV commercials. Though the techniques they use are questionable at best and generally lead to uninspired creative, few spots for major brands make it on the air without running the testing gauntlet. And ad agencies themselves are to blame: testing commercials creates revenue. The more spots you test, the more money the agency makes. All in the name of "learning."
Now those of you in the digital arena may be unaware of the amount of snake oil involved in testing TV spots, so let me give you a quick spin through one of the most popular methods: you and a group of your friends are invited to view what is billed as the preview of a new TV pilot. You are seated in a large movie theater-sized auditorium where you watch the show, which includes commercials. Afterwards, you are given a questionnaire that asks you about the commercials you saw. Not the show. The commercials.
Now having observed a number of these, I can assure you that most people spend the commercial breaks chatting with their friends or retrieving a new piece of gum from their pocketbooks. They are decidedly not paying attention to the commercials.
So what commercials do they remember? Ones that repeat the name of the product several dozen times. Loudly. To wit: my very first job in advertising was at a big traditional shop. And it was a rule that any commercial subject to testing needed to have the name of the product repeated a certain number of times throughout the spot as well as during the crucial first 5 seconds (after which time the consumer would presumably tune out.) Those were the spots that tested well.
Now this seems pretty common-sensical: I mean if you're not paying attention to what you're watching because you're in a movie theater-like auditorium talking to your friends and there's a spot that screams "Yummy, Yummy Dannon Yogurt!" about two dozen times, you're more likely to remember that spot than the charming and clever one you'd likely watch back in your living room, but which saved the mention of the product name for the end super title.
The takeaway from this (and the people who run these testing services lovelovelove that word "takeaway") is that as we move forward with developing social media metrics, we need to take care not to replicate the mistakes of TV metrics. We need to ensure that the methods we use do not reward the merely annoying and interruptive, but instead measure and reward the engaging and beloved. This is especially important in the social media space where consumers have to want to actually engage with you and where the relationship will be a lengthy and ongoing one.
Because in social media, Your Brand Is Not My Friend.™

Let natural gas stand on its own
CORPUS CHRISTI - AUSTIN — The U.S. House is poised to siphon billions of taxpayer dollars to prop up another fledgling energy technology it thinks will solve our nation's problem of skyrocketing energy prices.
The plan's proponents claim their technology offers a better alternative to our current fleet of gasoline-powered cars and trucks. Sound familiar? It's certainly a route we've been down before, and, for the record, that route has been a dead-end every time. But this time around, the characters in the driver's seat aren't the ones you would expect to press for government subsidies.
In early April, Oklahoma Congressman John Sullivan introduced H.R. 1380, the NAT GAS Act. His bill would provide big tax credits for the production and purchase of natural gas vehicles (up to $64,000 for large trucks), extend a 50-cents-per-gallon natural gas production credit, and give further tax breaks for installation of natural gas infrastructure across the country. In a short time, the bill has picked up close to 190 co-sponsors, including more than 80 Republicans, many of whom typically view such government intervention with an unfavorable eye.
The idea is to drive the country off gasoline and onto cars and trucks powered by natural gas, capitalizing on the nation's current frustration with near-record-high gasoline prices. All of this adds up to a big windfall for natural gas producers, who stand to benefit from reduced production costs and increased demand for their products.
Nearly a majority of the House is prepared to line the pockets of the natural gas industry by tinkering with the tax code. But it all it comes at the expense of taxpayers who pay the tax-credit toll, consumers whose choices are directed by Washington bureaucrats, and the nation's energy economy which runs less efficiently as a result.
Texas conservatives are particularly disappointed to see that so many Republican congressmen have come along for the ride in support of this bill, including 15 of our own from Texas. Republicans Joe Barton, Kevin Brady, John Carter, Michael Conaway, John Culberson, Blake Farenthold, Louie Gohmert, Kay Granger, Ralph Hall, Pete Olson, Ron Paul, Ted Poe, Pete Sessions, Lamar Smith and Mac Thornberry have all put their names down in support of these expensive tax giveaways.
Many of these same Republicans campaigned on promises to stop the bailouts and cut off government handouts for particular businesses and industries. Now they are driving on the left side of the road. Voters who sent lawmakers to Washington to end corporate welfare should be outraged.
We're proud of Texas' long and prosperous history of supplying the nation's energy needs with our state's rich oil and natural gas deposits. Natural gas vehicles may well be the wave of the future, and their widespread use would mean a significant economic boost to the natural gas producers in our state. But their production can and should continue without specially tailored tax breaks and subsidies from Uncle Sam.
Consumers and businesses alone should drive the success of natural gas vehicles, and do so by determining whether they offer a better alternative to what's currently available.
It's time to draw the line. Government needs to stop picking winners and losers in the marketplace through targeted government subsidies. Energy technologies, including new innovations in the oil and natural gas industries, need to sink or swim on their own by competing for consumers' dollars in the free market.
Government handouts only interrupt this process, distorting the economy by allowing politicians to impose their own ideas about what's best for American consumers. We should be cutting these expensive and inefficient subsidies out of the budget, not adding more.
Congressman Sullivan is taking the country in the wrong direction, and a majority of Texas' Congressional delegation has followed him on this tired old Washington-style boondoggle.
America's energy future should be driven by consumer choice, not by taxpayer subsidies. The previously mentioned congressmen may get a chance to vote on the bill later this year. If they do, they should follow the road map laid out by the limited government principles. It is not too late to make a U- turn and abandon support for this subsidy.

Alabama Basketball Back In Coleman
Maybe so, but the Charleston Southern team that Alabama plays at 7 p.m. CST Friday in Coleman Coliseum has started the season 1-3. To be sure, the Buccaneers of the Big South Conference, have been on the road to some tough places, Charlotte (losing 58-68) and Arizona (73-82).
Bama Coach Anthony Grant said, "They have had some highly-contest games so far this year and they have been very impressive on film." He said Bama would have to adjust to a faster tempo than opponents have used thus far; that Charleston Southern shoots a lot of three-point shots. He also complimented the rebounding of the Buccaneers.
The Crimson Tide is coming off a tournament victory, pounding Villanova in the finals of the 2K Sports Classic in Madison Square Garden in New York. Bama is 4-0 to start the season.
Grant said he thinks that Alabama "has been getting better with every game. I think with every game we grow a little bit. The focus is to get better."
Alabama was led to its tournament championship by junior point guard Trevor Releford, who was MVP of the tournament and Southeastern Conference Player of the Week. The championship game against Villanova was his first start of the season.
"He is our most experienced guy," Grant said of Releford. "He has seen a lot and grown a lot. I was excited for him to be selected as the SEC Player of the Week."
Releford leads the Tide with 17.8 points per game. He had a career high 25 points in the championship game win over Villanova, including making all five of his three-point attempts. Also in double figures scoring are sophomore guards Trevor Lacey (16.3 points per game) and Rodney Cooper (15.5).
Alabama will be looking for a 5-0 start for the second straight season, a feat that has not occurred in back-to-back years since the 1995-96 and 1996-97 seasons.
Charleston Southern is led by sophomore guards Arlon Harper (13.0 ppg) and Saah Nimley (12.0 ppg) and senior forward Mathiang Muo (11.3).

"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"
"This is a perfect solution to birthday cards that boys never read and that fall off the gift, so that you have no idea to whom to send the thank you card. I don't particularly love the colors but my 10 year old son does. Now I can stick one of these professionally printed gift stickers on the gift itself, and the card will not get detached from the gift. I bought these along with the paint ball thank you cards and return address labels."
"These gift tages / labels were a perfect idea for all of our back to school labeling. My son put them on his folders, in his books, on his binder. Good quality and really cute design!"
"I have ordered this product now twice for my son's birthday parties. I have received many compliments on it. It is easy and you don't have to spend $2-3 dollars every time for a card which gets thrown away anyways."

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
In Central, just a short walk from Hong Kong Park
The Shangri-La is located on the outskirts of Central, just a short walk from Hong Kong Park. It is a popular choice among business travelers, as it is also within easy reach of numerous corporate buildings.
The business and financial hub of the city, Central overlooks the water from the north shore of Hong Kong Island. Its skyline is defined by tall glass-and-steel buildings and has a modern look, though some colonial buildings still remain.
Central's mix of modern and historic is appealing to tourists, and there are plenty of sights to take in. This area is home to upscale shopping centers and top-notch restaurants, as well as beautiful parks with interesting attractions. The Chater Garden features a zoo and a playground that are popular with families. And Hong Kong Park is the site of the Museum of Tea, which is housed in a historic colonial building.
Arguably the most luxurious hotel in Hong Kong, the 565-room Shangri-La features opulent details -- including the largest Chinese silk painting in the world, and TVs in every bathroom. Elegant rooms are outfitted with silk throws, gilded wooden furniture, crystal chandeliers, and high-tech features such as large flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. Amenities include an outdoor pool, a well-equipped fitness center, and a spa. They are not exclusive to guests, though, as Health Club members also have access to them. The Shangri-La has steep rates, but most guests claim the hefty price tag is worth it, particularly when staying in rooms with harbor views.

What is Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome?
Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome is characterized by two or more types of seizures, mental retardation, and a particular EEG pattern with slow spike-and-waves. Typically beginning between the ages of 2 and 6, Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome has no known cause, but is commonly found in children with brain development problems or acquired brain damage.
Children with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome commonly experience multiple seizure types, including:
Because atonic seizures cause children to fall to the ground, many children are forced to wear helmets to protect their teeth and face from trauma.
How is Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome treated?
Management can be challenging and can include anticonvulsant medications, vagus nerve stimulator, and certain types of surgery to control seizures that cause injuries.

DURHAM, N.H. – Michaela Hardy (Reading, Mass.) scored with seven seconds remaining in double overtime to lift the 16th-ranked University of New Hampshire women's lacrosse team to a 13-12 victory against the University of Oregon in Sunday's Senior Day game at Memorial Field.
UNH won its sixth consecutive home game to end the regular season with a 12-4 overall record. The Wildcats are the third seed in the America East Championships and will play the University of Vermont in an April 25 (4 p.m.) semifinal game at Boston University's Nickerson Field. Oregon concludes the regular season at 11-6.
Hardy led the 'Cat attack with five goals and two assists to match her career high of seven points. Shaunna Kaplan (Framingham, Mass.; 3g, 1a), Moira Talbot (Marblehead, Mass.; 3g) and Sarah Von Bargen (East Setauket, N.Y.; 2g) also recorded multiple points; Kaplan also tallied five draw controls, two ground balls and two caused turnovers. Ashley Milley (Sudbury, Mass.) finished with six saves, including four in the second half and one in the first six-minute overtime session.
Oregon was led offensively by Ilsa van den Berg (4g, 3a), Theresa Waldron (2g, 3a) and Jenny Browne (3g, 1a). Anna Poponyak was credited with 10 saves, including one in the first OT and another in the sudden-victory second overtime frame.
With the score tied 11-11 at the end of regulation, the Ducks won the opening draw and appeared to take the lead when Jen May (1g, 1a) shot the ball into the net at 2:37 in the first half of the first OT. The goal was disallowed due to an illegal crosse, however. The Ducks regained possession late in that frame and a quick transition attack led to van den Berg's goal deep on the right side at :53.
The visitors held that 12-11 lead when the teams changed ends of the field for the second half of the first OT. Kaplan won that draw control and pulled the Wildcats even, 12-12 with 2:14 to play. Hardy, from outside the top of the fan, slipped a pass over the defense to an unmarked Kaplan in the middle of the fan and she shot high into the net.
Oregon gained possession of the ensuing draw control and held the ball for the last shot – a bid by van den Berg from the left wing with 10 seconds left that Milley stopped at the near post.
The teams headed to double overtime – a three-minute sudden-victory period – tied at 12. The Ducks briefly gained control off the draw control, but Talbot forced a turnover with a stick check and gathered the loose ball. On that UNH possession, Kaplan was awarded a free position with 23 seconds on the clock. She elected to pass to Hardy in the middle, but Poponyak made the save to prolong the game. The Wildcats maintained possession off the rebound, however, and Hardy drove through the middle of the fan before releasing a high shot that sailed into the net to end the game.
Neither team led by more than two goals – in fact, the only two-goal margin the entire game occurred when Oregon led 4-2 – in a game that saw 11 ties and five lead changes.
The Ducks took a 1-0 lead at 25:25 of the first half when May scored off van den Berg's pass. UNH pulled even at 23:30 on Hardy's unassisted goal but the visitors regained the lead, 2-1, just 18 seconds later when Browne converted Carrie Bateman's pass into a goal.
Hardy's second goal of the game, this time on a free position from the top of the fan with a low shot that bounced under the crossbar, leveled the score, 2-2, at 20:18. van den Berg potted goals at 19:13 and 18:16 to give Oregon a 4-2 lead and prompt New Hampshire to call time out.
And the Wildcats responded with two goals in 18 seconds. Immediately off the draw, Kaplan gained possession just outside the offensive restraining line and ran into open space down the right side of the fan to score on a shot into the upper-right corner of the goal at 18:09. Kaplan once again won the ball off the draw, and her pass upfield led to a free position for Von Bargen, who charged from the top of the fan and shot into the upper-right corner to pull the 'Cats even, 4-4, at 17:58.
New Hampshire made it three consecutive goals in a span of 2:06 to take its first lead of the game, 5-4, at 16:03 when Kaplan, from behind the net, connected with Talbot in front of the goal.
Oregon quelled the spurt and tied the score at 5 when Alex Breiner (1g, 1a) scored off a pass from May at 13:33. Von Bargen once again cut through the middle of the fan and found the upper-right corner to put the 'Cats back in front, 6-5, less than one minute later (at 12:47).
van den Berg set up tallies by Waldron (at 10:24) and Jana Bradley (4:25) to give the Ducks a 7-6 lead, but UNH took an 8-7 lead into halftime on goals by Talbot – at 3:56 when she rolled from behind net to the left post – and Hardy at 2:33 when she caught the ball outside the top of the fan, drove the middle and fired a high shot.
In the second half, Oregon once again regained the lead, 9-8, on consecutive goals by Browne at 24:44 and 21:19, both of which were set up by a Waldron pass.
UNH responded with consecutive goals to take a 10-9 advantage. Talbot evened the score at 20:35 when Maureen Wark (Yarmouth, Maine), from the left wing, fed a pass to Talbot curling around the left post and she scored from point-blank range in front of the net. Kaplan put the 'Cats in front as, cutting across the fan from left-to-right, she corralled Hardy's pass in the middle and fired a shot into the goal at 12:48.
Waldron, on a free-position shot into the upper-left corner from deep on the left wing, tied the score, 10-10, at 7:26. The Ducks took an 11-10 lead at 6:00 when Waldron curled from behind the net to the right post and sent a pass across the circle to an unmarked van den Berg for the score.
Oregon won the ensuing draw control, but UNH's Allie Duclos (South Windsor, Conn.) force a turnover to give possession to the Wildcats. The Ducks' defense responded at the other end of the field with a turnover created by Alicia Burkhart and Oregon called time out with possession at midfield and 5:18 on the clock.
Almost immediately after play resumed, the Wildcats forced another turnover – this time by Bailley Mazur (Longmeadow, Mass.) – and Milley gathered the loose ball. After UNH advanced the ball to the offensive end, the teams exchanged turnovers to give the 'Cats possession with 3:26 remaining.
A patient Wildcat attack then yielded Hardy's game-tying goal at 1:32. Ashley Crook (South Burlington, Vt.) drew a double team outside the top of the fan and slipped a pass to Hardy in the middle and her shot found the back of the net.
The visitors once again gained possession off the draw, but UNH's defense once again created a turnover on a stick check by Beth Sabiston (Bay Shore, N.Y.). And it was once again Milley who scooped up the loose ball to give the 'Cats the ball with one minute left in regulation.
New Hampshire called time out with 40 seconds on the clock. The Wildcats lost control on a drive through the fan in the waning moments to send the game into overtime.
UNH recorded a 25-21 shot advantage, including 4-2 in the extra sessions. Oregon tallied a 17-12 edge in draw controls but also committed more turnovers (23-15). The teams finished tied in ground balls at 15.
This marked the last game at Memorial Field for UNH's five-member senior class: Crook, Mazur, Milley, Talbot and Wark.

I hope everybody else did okay. What? Buick went under? Well, that makes sense; their product wasn't really as in vogue – nay, as necessary – as ours. Let's face it: America's fascination with cars comes and goes, but ham is forever.
Honestly, things never really slowed down over here. Hams have been flying off the shelf all year long. You think people are only willing to trample one another to death at Best Buy or Walmart, trying to get the hottest new electronics or the season's new must-have toy? Please. That's nothing compared to the gladiator-style battle royale that takes place here over the last few dozen hams on Black Friday.
You know, oftentimes people are surprised to hear we do so well since they've never even met anyone who's come here before. And honestly, that's understandable. For some reason, no one really wants to be seen coming in here, so we do a lot of our business via mail-order catalog. We call it our Ham-alog! Yessir, business is a-boomin' and there really is no end in sight for our country's insatiable ham thirst.
If I were you, I'd jump on the ham-train while you still can. I know that you've heard this all before, but the price of ham is never going to go anywhere but up in this country, so any investment is a good investment when your investment is ham! Forget about all those other companies that didn't make it. Manufacturing? Service? That's the past! Our future lies in our Whole Homestyle HoneyBaked goodness! This country may have been built on sweat, but it is going to last on ham!

Sox the horse saved by News readers
Posted: April 13, 2009|
SAVED: Volunteer helper Shirley Camilleri-Agius with Sox the horse at Kilmarnock Horse Rescue in Crawley.
A HORSE'S life will be saved thanks to an appeal by The News.
Last week, The News reported eighteen-year-old Sox faced being put down if a sponsor or a new home was not found for him.
Now sponsors have flooded in from across the town to save the horse who is being looked after at the Kilmarnock Horse Rescue Centre, in Charlwood Road, Ifield.
Carol Barton, who runs the centre, said she had been inundated with calls since the article went in The News last Wednesday (April 8).
She said: "We've had so many visitors, he's got a fan club now. We must have had 20 calls in one day. It's fantastic. I actually slept last night, it was really getting to me.
"People said it had broken their heart. I'm asking people to come and see him. It's nice for people to see what they're contributing to," she added.
Sox was first taken to the centre by the RSPCA, which uses Carol's centre as a form of rehabilitation when sick or injured horses are found.
The horse was found in Brighton after he was abandoned by his owners and now Carol is keeping him on at the rescue centre.
She said: "We've had lots of donations because he can't be ridden, as he has got issues, but we'll get there with him He's had a confusing life, if we move him from here, that's a big trauma. Some of the horses go to foster homes but Sox is like a naughty school boy. He's in with the other horses with issues, we play them classical music and they have crystal healing."
The centre has 15 rescue horses and a variety of farmyard animals including chickens and sheep and will been holding pony rides at Ifield Church on May Day bank holiday.
If you like to visit Sox or make a donation, contact Carol on 07948 672540.

Longtime Borger resident Vance Brown has used some of his time over the past ten years to tear down pallets to make wonderful creations.
Within the past two months, one of his newest hobbies he has just picked up involves making wishing wells from pallets.
"It all started with my wife wanting a wishing well. So, I torn down a pallet and made her one and have made them since." he states.
Brown sells his creations at the customer's price.
"If people want to buy them I let them make the offer." he said.
A local citizen and his wife recently got to take part in the Honor Flight earlier this month in Washington, D.C.
Jimmie L. (Shorty), a World War II veteran and wife Leola flew north for the Honor Flight, which toko place on Oct. 5, 2011.
At approximately 7:30 a.m., they took off from Amarillo's Rick Husband airport for their first step on the way to Washington, D.C.
Early voting in the 2011 Texas Constitutional Amendment Election is underway.
Jan Barnes, Hutchinson County Clerk, said that those wishing to vote early can do so starting today through Nov. 8, 2011 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
Polling places are as follows:
•Hutchinson County Annex, 1400 Veta Street, Room 111, Borger
•Fritch Library Community Room, 205 North Cornell, Fritch
•Hutchinson County Courthouse, 500 Main Street, Basement, Stinnett
Election Day will be held from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 8, 2011. The polling places on that day are as follows:
State Senator Kel Seliger will be speaking at the Borger town hall meeting on Tuesday, October 25, 2011 from 8:30 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. at Borger City Hall on 600 N. Main St.
Seliger has spoke about the activities of the 82nd Legislative Session over the past two months.
"The town hall meetings are a great way to ensure there is continuing dialogue from the people who live in my district," he said. "I hold them regularly and use the information exchanged."
With the new Golden Plains Community Hospital finally completed and about to open its doors, the hospital's CEO took time to reflect on the opening of the new facility.
Dennis Jack said he feels like a proud but exhausted father that has just helped deliver the biggest baby on record.
"If I had the energy I would say I am going on vacation to Disney World, but that sounds like too much walking," he said. "I think I will just work from my desk as soon as I get all the boxes unpacked."
He said one of the things people who see the new hospital will comment on is how big it looks.
A longtime Borger ISD board member has officially submitted his resignation.
Johnny Rusten, who has served on the board for the past 13 years, and most recently held the position of president, has made the decision to step down.
"Throughout our lives, seasons come and seasons go. One of the greatest seasons of my life was the most recent thirteen years of my life as a trustee of the Borger Independent School District," Rusten said in a letter submitted to BISD superintendent Chance Welch. "It is with regret that I must end that special time in my life with this letter of resignation."
Are you ready to see the new hospital? The time is drawing near!
On Saturday, Oct. 22, 2011, a public open house for the new Golden Plains Community Hospital will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tours will be taking place throughout the hospital during those hours, and will be held each quarter hour.
Fall is a favorite season for many, as it signals the beginning of colorful leaves and crisp weather. But for many pest including rodents, spiders, cockroaches, scorpions, etc., the change in the weather indicates the need to find cover from the cold winter ahead.
Lisa Vinyard of Industrial Pest Management reminds homeowners of the importance that fall pest-proofing can play in keeping pests from making their home in yours.
"The best way to prevent pest invasions is exclusion." said Vinyard,
A few ways to do that are as follows:
The Lake Meredith National Recreations Area's well-known "Big Tree" has fallen.
Due to the years of vandalism and repeated fires, the cottonwood tree was severely damaged, hollow, and unstable.
Paul Belton Early Childhood Center may soon be seeing a name change.
Discussion was held on the matter during the regular meeting of the Borger ISD Board of Trustees Thursday evening. The proposed name change will be Paul Belton Elementary School.
BISD Superintendent Chance Welch said that PBECC principal Amy Blansett approached him about the possibility after getting input from some of her teachers.
Welch said the district does consider PBECC to be a rigorous academic elementary school.

Re: 3D Mark 05 - the countdown begins!!!!
5900xt has a 256bit memory bandwith I believe. A very good card for the money when it was around $200. At that time a 9800 pro was close to $300

I just can't get too excited over the release of a benchmark. Wake me when its out and the the servers are clear enough to download at normal speeds.
You know, if you don't care why did you click this thread? I'm excited because I wanna see what my card can do. I want to see how it stacks against an X800XT. I want to see the image quality. I think thats reason enough to be excited. 3DMark05 is what the next generation games will look like. 2003 was a pretty decent indicator at what games looked like, Doom3 looks plenty like the Game test 2.
