My husband is attending a 5 day conference in Scottsdale in November, and I'm tagging along. He will be tied up during the day, and I am looking for some activities that I could do alone during the days. I am 50 years old, still recovering from a major surgery, so I can't do anything too strenuous. I will have the use of our rental car.
I know the shopping in Scottsdale is wonderful, and I would enjoy that. Are there any museums? Any tours of the city? What sorts of things would you recommend?
Thanks so much.

The Heard Museum in Phoenix should be high on your list with it's collection of Native American art.The Phoenix Art Museum is nearby to the Heard. Also, Frank Lloyd Wright's home, Taliesen West is also very worthwhile. Neither of these is far from Scottsdale.Desert Botanical Garden too. And Scottsdale has loads of shopping if that interests you.

Go to Frank Lloyd Wright's house (Taliesin West) for a tour one day and to the Heard Museum in Phoenix another.

Scottsdale is just one part of the Phoenix Metroplex. Since you'll have a car, all parts should be readily accessible.

I have also enjoyed Papago Park, Desert Botanical Garden, Heritage Square, Pueblo Grande (ruins of a native settlement), and the Phoenix Zoo.
*IF* you don't mind mountain driving, South Mountain has great overlooks -- and you do NOT need to hike once you get there.

If you can convince your husband to stay over an additional night - get thee up to Sedona - about a 2 hour drive but well worth it.

I reall enjoyed my visit to the Desert Botanical Garden and watching Paolo Solieri bronze bells being poured at the Cosanti Gallery. Great for gifts, too, with the holidays right around the corner!

I completely agree with the recommendations for the Heard Museum, Desert Botanical Gardens, and Taliesen West.

Agree with Taliesen, Heard, desert Botanical - try the Musical Instruments Museum. It is wonderful and you can spend lots of time there and really have a good time.

Several weeks ago, I was at a Passport in Time project in northern AZ. The wife of one of the volunteers, took a day trip from north of Parks down to Sedona.
She said she had a great time. If your husband does not want to go to Sedona, I think you can make it on your own as a day trip.

Speidi army: Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag need 15 guards to protect them from crazed fans at signing
They claim they feared for their lives during their time in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
And it seems Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are still living in fear now they are out.
The couple, who are reportedly set to get their own Channel 5 show, will be protected by an army of 15 security guards as they come face-to-face with their fans.

Scared: Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag need 15 security guards when they attend a signing on Saturday
According to the Daily Star a team has been called in to protect the famous reality stars as they visit WH Smith in London's Brent Cross shopping centre on Saturday.
Their troop of private minders is more than double the number that Justin Bieber has, which suggests the couple who became famous on The Hills are truly concerned for their own safety.
The couple who will be signing copies of OK! Magazine, on which they are on the front cover, will be protected against anyone who wishes to cause trouble and to stop any obsessed fans from getting too close.
VIDEO The King and Queen of reality TV hope to stay in the UK
Crazed fans: The couple are thought to be worried about how some of their fans will react
Ahead of their appearance the couple appeared excited, saying: ' Come and meet the King and Queen of reality TV. See ya there.
'To all the lovers and haters in Britain, come and see the real Speidi before we head back to the USA. We've been reading all your Tweets about us. So come and tell us in the flesh. Ha ha ha!'
A spokesperson for WH Smith confirmed the security: 'Everyone is very excited Speidi are coming. For health and safety reason we will have 15 security guards.'
2nd place: Despite their behaviour in the house the couple managed to come in second place
Spencer and Heidi, who recently came second in the show revealed that they found the atmosphere in the house scary.
Spencer recently told the Daily Star: 'Every time we saw any of them near knives we left the kitchen straight away.'
His 26-year-old wife backed him up adding: 'At times they were very volatile, easily triggered and they had violent tendencies. So I was scared.'
The frosty atmosphere in the house became worse after the couple, who became famous after appearing on The Hills, spent 48 hours spying on the rest of the housemates.
Fake? Many people thought the couple were not genuine during their time om CBB
Upon their return the worst argument of the three-week stint kicked off, resulting in what is now known by viewers as 'Fright Night'.
Former footballer Neil 'Razor' Ruddick ended up losing his temper and accusing the couple of bullying which is something they vehemently deny.
The story of Speidi's life has been turned into a Channel 5 show which will chart their rise and fall.
It is due to air later this month.

Tim Sherwood slit his throat each time he opened his mouth... Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy didn't like his coded messages and warnings to the players
- Sherwood was sacked as Tottenham manager in a meeting with chairman Daniel Levy and director of football Darren Eales on Tuesday
- Levy was upset with Sherwood's outspoken manner in press conferences and interviews
- Sherwood was keen on signing Romelu Lukaku, Gareth Barry and Winston Reid this summer
- Spurs are interested in bringing Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino to White Hart Lane
In the end, Tim Sherwood's showdown with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and director of football administration Darren Eales went just as they had predicted. The manager went out swinging.
Sherwood had known since a meeting with Levy on April 7 that he was a dead man walking and he did not hold back in a full and frank exchange of opinions during Tuesday's early-morning meeting at the training ground.
Levy retaliated and it is his belief that every time Sherwood talked during his seven-month spell in charge at Spurs, he slit his own throat. On Tuesday, Levy and Eales finished him off.

Moving on: Sherwood was sacked as Tottenham manager on Tuesday after less than a season in charge
End of the line: Emmanuel Adebayor scores from the penalty spot in Spurs' final day 3-0 win against Aston Villa
Man in charge: Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy informed Sherwood of his decision in a meeting on Tuesday
Tottenham's chairman told Sherwood he was too unpredictable, with coded messages to the board and warnings to players littering his press conferences. Often they were spell-binding to listen to, a refreshing change of pace amid the guff often trotted out by managers in the Barclays Premier League. But Sherwood went too far.
The former Spurs midfielder was told on Tuesday his behaviour was not becoming of a manager at a club with Tottenham's traditions and history. Sherwood maintained he was just being honest.
Levy, though, believed it was only a matter of time before Sherwood broke the golden rule at White Hart Lane by bad-mouthing him or owner Joe Lewis in public.
Cross them and you are fired: just ask Martin Jol, Harry Redknapp and Andre Villas-Boas. This is one of the most prestigious jobs in football, but the consequences of falling out of line are always brutal. Sherwood knows that now.
This was his chance to prove he could stand alongside men of stature such as Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho and Manuel Pellegrini. Instead, he talked himself out of the job. It's a long road back.
After Tottenham's 4-0 defeat at Chelsea on March 8, when the team had been reduced to 10 men, Sherwood claimed: 'I know the players I can trust and those I can't.' The boardroom winced.
Then, after the 4-0 defeat at Liverpool on March 30, Levy almost had to call in the United Nations after Sherwood clashed with former Tottenham boss Glenn Hoddle. The pair have history.

Targets? Saints boss Mauricio Pochettino (left) and Napoli manager Rafael Benitez are being linked with the job
In December, Levy had afforded Hoddle, sacked by Spurs in 2003 following a calamitous run of results, the courtesy of an interview for the manager's job. He was never going to be appointed.
Sherwood, aware of this, reacted badly when Hoddle, who is a regular visitor to the Spurs boardroom on matchdays, criticised his players for their approach at Anfield.
Hoddle's observations about them leaning against the wall outside the dressing room before kick-off were correct. Sherwood was livid.
'Glenn's got a lot of opinion and he's also got a lot of opinion about Tottenham, and he's entitled to that,' claimed Sherwood. 'It's been a long time since Glenn Hoddle's managed a football team and the game has moved on significantly.'
Back in Hoddle's day, when he attempted to freeze Sherwood out of the first team, the midfielder ambushed a board meeting over it. He has always been strong-willed.
Nothing changed after Levy agreed to make him the manager on an 18-month contract following the dismissal of Villas-Boas.
With a few decent results behind him against teams outside the top four, he maintained the club did not need to recruit players in January. Levy was happy with this.
Then, after Spurs lost 1-0 to Arsenal at White Hart Lane — their third defeat by Wenger's side this season — Sherwood insisted he could 'only play the hand I've been dealt'.
Mediocre: Spurs finished sixth in the Premier League after Sherwood won 14 of his 28 games in charge
Honest: Sherwood believes Tottenham would've challenged for the top four had they not sold Gareth Bale to Real Madrid last summer
28 games as Tottenham manager (14 wins, four draws, 10 losses)
1 gilet worn
47 goals scored during his reign at Spurs
42 Premier League points earned (13 wins, three draws and six losses)
2 Premier League debuts from Spurs academy players (Alex Pritchard, 21, and Milos Veljkovic, 18)
47 Goals condceded
1 win in a cup competition (3-1) v Dnipro, February 27
141 days in charge
By then, Levy was keeping a low profile after conceding that he and director of football Franco Baldini had brought in too many players last summer. They were too hasty to rebuild after Gareth Bale's move to Real Madrid.
Still, Sherwood had his own aggressive transfer plans in place for the summer as he prepared for his first full season.
There were proposals to bring in West Ham defender Winston Reid, Manchester City midfielder Gareth Barry and striker Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea. Sherwood was convinced he could sign all three.
He believed they would make the team competitive but Levy told Sherwood at their April 7 meeting that he was preparing to make yet another change. 'You know I like experience,' Levy told him.
Sixth: Sherwood's last game was a 3-0 win over Aston Villa, which secured Spurs Europa League football
On Tuesday the chairman added: 'Since appointing Tim as assistant first-team coach in 2008 and then as technical co-ordinator in 2010 and head of football development in 2012, we have been supportive of him during management changes. I should like to state our thanks for all his efforts during his years with us. We wish him great success in his managerial career.
'Now the season is over, we shall embark on the process of finding a new head coach. We have a talented squad and exciting players coming through. We need to build on this season, develop our potential and inspire the kind of performances we associate with our great club.'
As for Sherwood, he is disappointed but determined to return as a Premier League manager.
MARCH 8 (Following a 4-0 defeat at Chelsea)
There's a lack of characters. Too many of them are too nice to each other. We need to show a bit more guts and not want to be someone's mate all the time.
MARCH 12 (Reflecting on his comments at Chelsea)
They are all men, they all appreciate that I am singing it from the heart, not from the script. I'm not an actor, I work on impulse. I'm just going to shoot from the hip. I'm a manager, not a babysitter.
APRIL 17 (On Gareth Bale's move to Real Madrid)
Give me Gareth Bale and I think we might have been realistic challengers for the top four. His fee looks cheap now.
MAY 9 (Summing up his feelings two days before the final game against Aston Villa)
If you have a supply teacher who comes into your school, sometimes they're not treated with the respect that a headmaster is.
If I need information on my future I'm better off asking the players. I'm not sure if the chairman has spoken to Sandro but obviously someone has told him. I have had a lot of players come to me and say their agents have told them that I'm not going to be here next year. It is a very difficult situation but I have got to get on with it.

Palestinians in Gaza speak of life under Israeli occupation.
Egypt: A dark day for press freedom #FreeAJStaff
Sohail Malik | 16 Jan 2013 16:26 GMT | Sport, Football, Algeria, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea
While Europe, Asia and South America hold their continental cup every four years, the Africa Cup of Nations is still contested every two years.
But does that mean it's worth less?
Whether it is club managers ruing the loss of their stars, or players rejecting call-ups, the competition's build-up is always tainted with drama.
True to form, the 29th edition of the event kicks off on Saturday in South Africa and one of the big stories has been the alleged displeasure of Spurs boss, Andre Villas Boas, over releasing Togo's Emmanuel Adebayor.
Such incidents paint a picture that Africa's premier footballing competition is somehow lacking in value.
One way to counter the angst could be the adoption of a four-year cycle, like the other continental championships.
That would be the right way to go according to a man all-too-familiar with the competition.
"I do believe the Nations Cup should be held every four years," says Efan Ekoku, who was part of the Nigerian squad that won the trophy in 1994.
He explained: "there is huge amount of football shown on TV at present and there is a real 'fight' by all to ensure their league or cup competition gets as much profile as possible."
"The Nations Cup is fighting against heavyweights such as Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and of course the World Cup and Euros."
Ekoku, now a commentator and respected pundit, believes that that the bi-annual cycle "devalues" the competition.
"There is less of an edge not only with players but also with fans, journalists and very importantly, the viewers on TV."
Having played for two English Premier League sides, the former striker knows all about the disdain some have for the competition's regular occurrence. He was playing for Norwich when Nigeria won the Cup, but when he signed for Wimbledon, they tried to put a clause in his contract that would limit his playing time for the Super Eagles.
The club verses country issue is magnified when it comes to the Africa Cup of Nations as it takes place mid-season, and causes players to miss numerous club games. This year's competition will feature 15 top flight players from the England, 14 from Portugal, 10 from Spain, six from Italy, and a whopping 35 from Ligue 1 in France.
Ekoku worries that, in the future, some Africans will miss out on joining top European teams if the two-year cycle continues.
"I believe it [the Africa Cup of Nations] makes African players a little less desirable to certain managers. This is probably more the case for smaller clubs as they have fewer resources and therefore smaller squads, and are always very concerend about losing players for up to four weeks."
Efan EkokuFormer Nigeria international
"I believe it makes African players a little less desirable to certain managers. This is probably more the case for smaller clubs as they have fewer resources and therefore smaller squads, and are always very concerned about losing players for up to four weeks."
Nonetheless, the suggestion of switching to a four-year pattern might fall upon deaf years at the Confederation of African Football (CAF). Why reduce the cup's frequency when the popularity of the tournament is so high?
Weighing up the costs
The 2012 tournament, which was co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, was the most watched Africa Cup of Nations in history with an estimated 6.6bn cumulative television viewers.
But while these figures might be viewed with glee they actually underscore one of the competition's major issues – crowd numbers. If everyone is watching TV, then who is in the stands?
Swathes of empty seats have become commonplace, and this can make the competition less financially lucrative for host countries. At the 2012 edition one game attracted less than 150 fans.
"From an economic perspective, the competition is a loss leader and ticket sales have missed their target," claims Nairobi-based economist Aly Khan Satchu.
In addition, while Khan accepts that South Africa is well equipped to host the Cup following its "over-sized" investment for the 2010 World Cup, he is less sure about how other countries would cope.
"Calculations would be entirely different for a country who might have to make the investment from scratch," he continued.
So instead of being an opportunity to raise funds to reinvest in the game, holding the competition every two years might actually be a financial burden for Africa. But despite this, maybe the necessity to hold it so often goes beyond money.
"The African Nations Cup is an important tournament, especially because so many of the continents' top players play outside the continent" explains Khan.
This has huge symbolic value to the fans.Furthermore, the unequal distribution of World Cup berths by FIFA makes the trophy even more important to the continent.
Unlike Europe, which receives 13 slots, Africa only gets five. As a result only 13 of the 52 countries affiliated to CAF have ever reached the World Cup finals.
So considering that the World Cup passes most of Africa by, reducing the frequency of the Africa Cup of Nations could damage the development of African football. It would leave teams with fewer chances to experience tournament football, pick up FIFA ranking points and win something for their people.
Any such move would make many of the players unhappy too.
"... Of course for us players in Europe, we would prefer for the competition to be every four years. But for many players in Africa, it would mean they will have fewer chances to impress."
Jamal AliouiFC Nantes and Morocco
Jamal Alioui of French side FC Nantes has represented Morocco at three Africa Cups, and explains: "of course for us players in Europe, we would prefer for the competition to be every four years. But for many players in Africa, it would mean they will have fewer chances to impress."
New beginning
Nevertheless, this year marks a dramatic change for the competition as it is taking place just one year after the last.
From now on the event will take place on odd years like 2015 and 2017. This was done to make sure future editions do not fall on even years, which are reserved for the World Cup.
It could be a masterstroke as media outlets will have less strain on their resources, and could therefore expand their coverage. It might also give the matches some more edge because in the past, teams that also qualified for the World Cup may have been distracted.
So in some ways 2013 could be a new beginning. With the exception of the seven-time champions, Egypt, most of the big boys have qualified. In fact five of the teams that were at the 2010 World Cup will compete – including Ivory Coast, Ghana, Algeria, Nigeria and hosts South Africa.
While the strong line-up may not convince everyone, a string of solid matches possibly will.
It seems CAF currently has no intention to adopt a four cycle. If it does, it should be for the benefit of Africa, and not external lobbyists.
But in the meantime, football fans will be hoping that the people of South Africa can whip up a vibrant atmosphere.
With the help of a few thousand vuvuzelas, that shouldn't be a problem.

It's a Recession: Attack the Status Quo Now!
We are in a recession, and according to Peter Hutchinson, public managers have three choices: ignorance, illusion or innovation.
We are in a recession. How can I tell? Politicians in Washington are arguing over a stimulus package. Political attention to the economy is an almost perfect indicator that it's lagging. If they're talking stimulus, the recession is already under way.
The economic effects of this recession will hit state and local government in six months to a year as revenues and budgets catch up with economic conditions. Right now, public managers have three choices: ignorance, illusion or innovation.
This is a particularly bad time for a recession. State and local governments have only just recovered from the last one. This time they will have even less to work with. Back in 2000, state reserves were equal to about 10 percent of budgets, and were on an upswing when the Internet bubble burst and the recession hit. This time reserves are just 7 percent, and falling. Furthermore, governments continue to face backbreaking increases in costs, especially for health care, that have been running well ahead of revenues in good times. Now the health care vise will crush state budgets, crippling education, human services, public safety, and environmental programs.
When state and local governments face these circumstances, they almost always do one of two things:
1. Ignore it and hope that it will go away. This is the Scarlett O'Hara approach: "I can't think about that now. I'll think about it tomorrow." It's still early, they tell themselves, let's not overreact. We can plug whatever holes we have now and wait to see what happens. History is clear about what happens to folks who choose this course. Special sessions have to be called, and executive orders issued, to fix the even bigger holes that develop later.
2. Create the illusion that government can keep on spending at current levels, and possibly even increase it, but without raising taxes, fees, etc. This is done in the name of protecting vital services or as a way to provide even more stimulus. It takes a special alchemy to turn a revenue shortfall into more spending. It can be done best by practicing what David Osborne and I called the "Seven Deadly Deceptions" in our book, The Price of Government. Disciples of these deceptions will combine interfund robbery, accounting gimmicks, borrowing, selling off assets, data manipulation, saving nickels and dimes at the expense of employees, and deferrals to make the impossible seem possible. As soon as they're done with this trickery, they will hold a press conference to announce their "creative" solution to a difficult problem. The truth, of course, is that they will have actually made a bad problem worse. These are nothing more than seven different ways to use onetime money to combat what will certainly be a multiyear problem. Next year the shortfall may well be deeper -- costs will continue to rise twice as fast as revenue, or even more, if revenue shortfalls worsen.
There is a third choice.
3. Get real about changing or eliminating those elements that create costs for government but don't create a commensurate amount of public value for citizens. Here are the big ones:
o Health: 20-30 percent of costs in health care don't make us healthier, and may actually make us worse.
o Mistrust: Up to a third of government's overall costs pay to enforce rules, regulations and red tape. All too frequently, the corresponding level of compliance does not justify the cost of all this mistrust. For example, we spend a fortune trying and failing to get people to obey the speed limit, while we spend almost nothing to get those same people to voluntarily recycle.
o Education: The real cost to educate our kids has skyrocketed, and yet there has been little measurable impact on learning.
o Monopoly: Competitive contracting, even when government wins the competition, results in costs 15-30 percent lower than continuing government's monopoly.
When citizens pay the price of government they want value -- more every year -- just like they do from any other service provider.
We cannot address these costs, or create the value citizens expect, if we think that our only choice is more of the status quo. This recession is going to hit us pretty hard. We can ignore it and hope it won't get worse, and we can use fiscal illusions to paper over the problem in the short-term. Or we can get real, and use these tough circumstances as an opportunity to free ourselves from the status quo by finding innovative ways to deliver more value, not more illusions, to our citizens. Good managers balance budgets (or make the budgets appear balanced) while maintaining the status quo; leaders balance budgets by challenging the status quo and winning the competition for public support.

Palestinians in Gaza speak of life under Israeli occupation.
What is behind South Korea's rise in suicides?
27 Oct 2011 19:45 GMT | Environment, Humanitarian crises, Asia Pacific, Thailand
Residents of Bangkok are escaping the flooded Thai capital in their tens of thousands due to worsening weather forecasts and the government's evacuation orders.Flood waters were already seeping into central parts of Bangkok on Thursday morning, with waters entering the Grand Palace, near the swollen Chao Phraya river, the AFP news agency reported.
Al Jazeera's Wayne Hay, reporting from Bangkok, said the number of districts that have been ordered to evacuate is increasing by the hour.
"The water level is only expected to rise when the floodwaters combine with high tides that are on the way," he said.
Sukhumbhand Paribatra, the Bangkok governor, said on Thursday that he expected to soon announce an evacuation warning for Sai Mai district, located on the city's northern outskirts, where waist-high water has turned roads into virtual rivers and swamped petrol stations and homes.
A day earlier, Sukhumbhand said residents of two of the city's 50 districts - Don Muang and Bang Phlat, both already partially submerged - should leave for shelters.
"This is the first time I am using the term 'evacuation', the first time I'm really asking you to leave,'' he said.
'Consider evacuating'
Floodwaters bearing down on Bangkok - a city of nine million people - have killed 373 people nationwide since July, caused billions of dollars in damage and closed its second largest airport.
Government offices were shut across the city on Thursday after the government ordered a five-day holiday - from Thursday to Monday - in flood-affected areas, including Bangkok, to allow residents to prepare for the inundation or leave.
A huge run-off from the north equivalent to 480,000 Olympic swimming pools is expected to reach the city at the same time as seasonal high tides this weekend, the UN's Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs said.
Districts north of the centre have already been inundated, shutting down the city's second biggest airport.
The country's Flood Relief Operations Centre (FROC) said late on Wednesday that it was working on providing extra shelters outside the city of 12 million people, where food and deliveries were expected to become more difficult.
"I would like to ask Bangkok people who are already affected or could be affected soon to consider evacuating to other places," Thongthong Chantarangsu, a FROC spokesman, said.
Satellite maps of Bangkok showed a city almost entirely surrounded by water. Most of the vast pools of run-off now submerging one-third of the country are flowing from the north towards Bangkok, on a course headed southward towards the Gulf of Thailand.
|"The amount of water is gigantic,'' Yingluck Shinawatra, the Thai prime minister, said. "Some water must spread into Bangkok areas but we will try to make it pass through as quickly as possible.''
Thousands of people packed Bangkok's Mo Chit bus terminal late on Wednesday, trying to leave town on their own to take advantage of the five-day public holiday.
Some waited for hours on the sidewalk outside Mo Chit because there was no space inside the terminal, the main departure point for buses to Thailand's north. Large crowds were also reported at the city's main international gateway,Suvarnabhumi airport, which remained open.
Mass disruption
In the district of Sai Mai, on Bangkok's northern outskirts, hundreds of residents clambered aboard packed military vehicles with their belongings, desperate to leave.
Yingluck said this week that central Bangkok could be swamped by up to 1.5 metres of water in some places if barriers broke and told residents to get their belongings up to high ground.
"After assessing the situation, we expect floodwater to remain in Bangkok for around two weeks to one month before going into the sea," she said on Wednesday.
Authorities would guard important places such as the royal palace and power stations, she said.
The floods in the north, northeast and centre of Thailand have disrupted the lives of nearly 2.5 million, with more than 113,000 in shelters and 720,000 people seeking medical attention.
Flooding has already forced the closure of seven industrial estates, causing billions of dollars of damage, disrupting international supply chains for industry and putting about 650,000 people temporarily out of work.

This application claims priority over U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/350,398 entitled SINGLE INSTRUCTION MULTIPLE DATA (SIMD) ALU ARRAY to Kablotsky et al., filed Jan. 21, 2002.
This invention relates to a single instruction multiple data array cell for processing a direct access memory data stream.
The high performance required for real-time processing in communications and multimedia applications stresses processor architectures in many different ways. The Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) parallel-processing model that exploits the application's properties of natural parallelism is considered the most acceptable way to deliver the high performance need for both today's and future applications. The SIMD model assumes a plurality of processing cells. Each cell may include various combinations of hardware: address generators, multipliers, arithmetic logic units (ALUs), memory, registers, and sequencers. Generally, as the investment in hardware increases, the speed of processing goes up, but so does the power requirement, cost, and die area required. Cost and area are always considerations in hand held devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), cell phones, and other wireless handset terminals. Many different approaches have been used to address these problems. One approach, known as the very long instruction word (VLIW), VLIW architecture increases the speed by packing multiple operations into a single instruction word, which is then executed in parallel as a very wide instruction unit. However, this requires a very large register capacity and memory to store those instructions. The programming limitations of VLIW processors require engineers to use very low assembly programming to achieve high performance. Such programming requires specialized knowledge of the hardware architecture, which can be extremely complex. An alternative architecture to VLIW is Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD). This model assumes an array of processing cells each executing the same sequence of instruction on their local data. The key advantages of this approach are a reduction in overall hardware complexity, design regularity, the enhancement of computing resources and simplified path to software development. These come from the fact that only a single instruction-decode-and-dispatch is required. An example for such an array is the reconfigurable ALU array, offered by Elixent Limited of Bristol, England, which uses an array of four bit ALUs and register/buffer blocks. The ALUs are interwoven with adjacent cross bar switches. This results in a highly reconfigurable array but requires a large die area, a long time to accomplish the reconfiguring and a large number of buses. Yet another reconfigurable approach, the PACT, XPP, parallel processes the data by using processing array elements (PAE) where each of the PAE's uses an ALU and a few registers but is limited to only ALU types of operations without multiplication. In still another approach, using a multiple instruction multiple data (MIMD) array, each cell includes a full digital signal processor (DSP) that can change from a simple DSP up to a VLIW type; each DSP includes data address registers (DAGs), a compute block comprising at least one ALU, a shifter and a 16-bit multiplier with a register file, an instruction decoder and a sequencer. These systems are fast and versatile but they require very high power and very large die area. See the reconfigurable ALU array (RAA) at www.elixent.com. See also the XPP architecture at www.PACTCORP.com.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide an improved single instruction multiple data (SIMD) array cell for processing a data stream.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a SIMD array cell which uses less die area.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a SIMD array cell which eliminates the need for data address generators (DAG's) and all the associated Base, Index, Length, and Modify (B, I, L, M) registers.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a SIMD array cell which eliminates the need for a multiplier circuit by using a shift and add/subtract circuit.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a SIMD array cell which eliminates the need for registers in the arithmetic logic circuit by storing the data directly in memory.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a SIMD array cell which eliminates the need for loop logic and the associated registers by operating with absolute addresses.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a SIMD array cell which uses less power by replacing multiplication with additions/subtractions and very short shifts.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a SIMD array cell which powers down cells not required for a particular operation.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a SIMD array cell which eliminates the need for an in cell sequencer by using a single instruction-decode-and-dispatch mechanism.
The invention results from the realization that a truly improved single instruction multiple data array for processing a data stream, which is faster, and uses less power and less die area, can be achieved using a plurality of cells, which need no address generators or associated registers, each of which cells have a memory that stores a predetermined region of the data stream, a location register for representing the size and location of that region, a unique identification number and an arithmetic logic unit responsive in a load mode to the identification number and a single command word common to all cells to compute the unique start position for its cell for receiving the predetermined region of the direct memory access data stream. In an execution mode the command word includes an address field applicable to all cells, a data field and an instruction to be performed by the arithmetic logic unit. The arithmetic logic unit in each cell performs the instruction directly on the local value at that address in its memory with the data in the data field.
This invention features a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) array cell for processing a data stream, the array including a plurality of cells, each cell including a memory circuit for storing a predetermined region of the data stream, a location register circuit for representing the size and location of the predetermined region of the data stream, a unique identification number stored in its ID register circuit and an arithmetic logic unit responsive to the identification number and a single command common to all cells in a load mode to compute a unique start position for its cell for receiving the predetermined region of the data stream.
In a preferred embodiment, the arithmetic logic unit may include an adder circuit. The arithmetic logic unit may include a shifter circuit for performing multiplication and accumulation in combination with the adder circuit. The arithmetic logic unit may include an arithmetic logic circuit. The command word may include in an execution mode an address field applicable to all cells. The arithmetic logic unit may operate directly on the values stored at that address in its cell memory with the data in the data field. The command word in the execution mode may include an instruction field for operating the arithmetic logic unit. The arithmetic logic unit may include a multiplexor for presenting input from the memory circuit, the command word, and the output of the arithmetic logic unit. Each cell may include a condition code register and the arithmetic logic unit may respond to the unique identification number and the condition code register to control the condition of the cell. The location register circuit may store a start position for the predetermined region to be stored in its memory, the length of the direct memory access data stream to be stored, and at least one dimension of the data stream. The location register may store the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the data stream. The command word in the execution mode may establish the size and location of the predetermined region in the location register circuit. The command word may include an address field for addressing locations in the predetermined region of interest in the memory circuit. The command word in the execution mode may include a data field for operating the arithmetic logic unit. The condition code register and arithmetic logic unit may respond to the unique identification number, the data field, to control the condition of the cell.
Other objects, features and advantages will occur to those skilled in the art from the following description of a preferred embodiment and the accompanying drawings, in which:
There is shown in
Each cell 14 a,
In operation, in the execute mode,
In loading mode the tightest rectangle that contains all the data points (N×N×ROI) needed to be processed by the N×N array is raster broadcasted across the arrays DMA bus. Each one of the array members receives the broadcast data and grabs its own region of interest data according to the settings of his own location register circuit. In,
For example, in order to set the starting point of cells 0, 1, 8, 9, . . . of
In the execution mode, the instruction field 56 c,
Condition code register 22 maintains the status of the ALU in its particular cell. For example, when command 50 d,
Although in the example thus far the memories are used to full capacity and they all start loading neatly in the upper left corner, these are not necessary limitations of the invention. Only a portion of each memory need be used and loading could be anywhere. The example so far uses a "two-dimensional" data stream, that is it represents an image but this is not a limitation. The data stream could as well be a one-dimensional data stream such as sound for example with the same applicability and advantages. In the example thus far, too, the data stored in the memories is neatly contiguous but this need not be either. In the case illustrated in
Although specific features of the invention are shown in some drawings and not in others, this is for convenience only as each feature may be combined with any or all of the other features in accordance with the invention. The words "including", "comprising", "having", and "with" as used herein are to be interpreted broadly and comprehensively and are not limited to any physical interconnection. Moreover, any embodiments disclosed in the subject application are not to be taken as the only possible embodiments.

The 2km climb to El Tepozteco
... another type of shoes but the way down can get slippery and so hiking shoes are the best choice.
- No food is allowed up there, just drinks
Now, the way up is fun, the usual, lots of green, lots of nature, people taking photos, people laughing, conversations being had despite the loss of breath, you know the drill... until at some point the view starts getting very pretty.
Ah yes, the way up has no cost but when you reach the top there is an entry fee of 47 ...

... a slice of carrot cake for our dessert. I think that the cafe was called Cacao. Even though we didn't climb up to the pyramid to get rejuvinated, the way tons of people do, we definitely felt rejuvenated by our tasty break.
People also come to Tepoztlan to take part in getting purified in a traditional sweat lodge called a temascal. We heard that THE best place to go for this experience is in the Hotel Posada del Tepozteco. We didn't partake in this at this ...
Starting to feel at home
... from Belgium and on the last day of their holiday in Mexico. It was a fun ride and surprisingly busy for mid-week. The guide book had warned that Sundays were crazy busy as it's a popular place for families to visit. Every so often a boat filled with musicians would pull up alongside offering to play (if you paid them). So the whole place was also filled with music. I managed to shoot a very short video so will try to upload it.

When we get out this man is like give me 30 pesos to watch your car. And another is like this is the only way, these boats. The public ones are not open. Jen doesn�t believe that because she saw the sign on the way to these party ones. So we walk around and end up asking real nice ...

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's navy said on Friday fighter jets had started training exercises over the Mediterranean Sea, an announcement that is likely to raise tensions in the standoff with Ukraine over the future of Crimea.
Navy spokesman Vadim Serga told Interfax news agency sorties had begun from the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, which docked last month in Cyprus, and training included tactics for engaging aerial targets and other battle techniques.
The aircraft involved in the training included Sukhoi SU-33 air defence fighters and Kamov Ka-27 anti-submarine helicopters.
The flights would continue if the weather was favourable, Serga said.
He made no mention of Russia's standoff with Ukraine over the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, where Russian forces have taken control.
The U.S. Navy has sent a guided-missile destroyer, the USS Truxtun, to the Black Sea on what it said was a routine deployment scheduled before the crisis in Ukraine.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI urged the world's bishops on Sunday to try to bring back Catholics who have left the church as he opened a three-week meeting to reinvigorate the church's evangelization mission.
Some 262 cardinals, bishops and priests from around the world are in Rome for the meeting, or synod, called to give impetus to the pope's efforts to re-evangelize parts of the world where Catholicism has fallen by the wayside.
At the start of the Mass, Benedict named two new "doctors" of the church, conferring one of the Catholic Church's highest honors on the 16th-century Spanish preacher, St. John of Avila, and the 12th-century German mystic, St. Hildegard of Bingen. They join the ranks of only 33 other church doctors who have been singled out over the course of Christianity for their contributions to and influence on Catholic doctrine.
Benedict has long lamented that in Europe and the Americas, Catholics no longer practice their faith or pass it onto their children. That concern is reflected in the synod's working document that will form the basis of discussion over the next three weeks.
"There is a clear link between the crisis in faith and the crisis in marriage," the pope said.
The so-called "new evangelization" is a top priority for Benedict, who routinely laments how cultures in Europe and the West that were once profoundly Christian have become increasingly secular.
The church has been beset by competition from rival Protestant churches in Latin America, dissent from Catholics who oppose church teaching on homosexuality and desertions in the U.S. and Europe from Catholics fed up by years of sex abuse scandals.
"The church exists to evangelize," Benedict said in his homily, urging a new missionary spirit among the church's pastors to reawaken the faith among Catholics who have been baptized but no longer practice their faith.
The synod coincides with the 50th anniversary of the start of the Second Vatican Council, the 1962-65 church meetings that modernized the church.
Cardinal Donald Wuerl, the archbishop of Washington, was named by Benedict to run the meeting.
At the start of the Mass, Cardinal Angelo Amato, head of the Vatican's saint-making office, read aloud the reasons why the church was proclaiming St. John and St. Hildegard doctors, saying their "holiness and eminent doctrine" shine hundreds of years after they lived.
Benedict is particularly fond of Hildegard, who was considered a saint in his native Germany but was never officially proclaimed one by the Vatican. Benedict, who himself referred to Hildegard as a saint, earlier this year passed the decree making her one officially, a requirement for her to be named a church doctor.
The last church doctor named was St. Therese of Lisieux, France, in 1997. The first church doctors were Sts. Ambrose, Augustine, Jerome and Gregory the Great.
