Orioles win in 13 innings to force Game 5
Pirates/MLB Videos
NEW YORK — First flying bugs, now a flying bat. When it comes to the postseason, Joba Chamberlain is cursed.
Chamberlain was knocked out of Game 4 of the AL Division Series on Thursday when the barrel of Matt Wieters' broken bat hit him on the right elbow in the 12th inning. The Baltimore Orioles went on to a 2-1 victory when Manny Machado doubled against David Phelps leading off the 13th and scored on J.J. Hardy's RBI double.
Eric Chavez ended the game with a lineout, batting in place of slumping Alex Rodriguez as A-Rod left for a pinch hitter for the second straight night.
Now it's up to CC Sabathia to show he's an ace, taking the mound in a decisive Game 5 on Friday night.
Chamberlain was just another hard-throwing young gun before Game 2 of the 2007 ALDS. Then midges swarmed him on the mound in Cleveland and, with those bugs all around, he threw a tying wild pitch in a game the Indians went on to win, 2-1 in 11 innings, for a 2-0 series lead.
A torn elbow ligament sidelined him in June 2011, and he was close to his return during spring training when he dislocated his right ankle in a trampoline accident while playing with his son. He finally returned Aug. 1.
Wieters led off the 12th with a single to left field, and a large piece of his bat went twirling toward the mound and hit Chamberlain's surgically repaired pitching elbow. Chamberlain threw down his glove and bent over in pain.
He was checked out by New York trainer Steve Donahue and manager Joe Girardi. While Chamberlain threw three test pitches, Girardi went back to the dugout.

Yet another return visit. Let's face it you only go back if you've had a great stay. My room had windows giving me views over Hawes to the hills beyond. Superb breakfasts and snack lunches. Got return
Four of us spent two nights with Glen and Liz at their welcoming home .Possibly the best B and B that we have found . Nothing was too much trouble and the rooms were spotless and so comfortable . Liz cooked a superb breakfast each morning with plenty of choice .
We will return and thoroughly recommend it .
Good room with double aspect over the rooftops. Excellent breakfast and hosts were very welcoming and helpful. They also had good advice as to where to eat in the evening. Fresh milk to the bedroom door for your morning brew. We will be going back soon.
We stayed here in June for a few days as Hawes is a good central point from which to explore the Yorkshire Dales. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed, including tea making facilities. Two especially nice touches were the home made cookies and a small flask of fresh milk left outside your door every morning, much better...
Just come back from another visit to Hawes and a stay at Herriot's. Right in the middle of town it is conveniently located for all amenities. The owners are always very friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble! Twin room we stayed in was light and airy with comfy beds and a great en suite. Delicious home cooked food...
We spent 2 days at Herriot's and loved every minute of it. Located in the centre of beautiful Hawes Herriot's offer great friendly service. The room we stayed in had views in two directions. The bed was very comfortable and the made to order breakfast was excellent. Fresh milk delivered to your door every morning. Liz has a secret recipe...
I recently stayed at Herriots in Hawes in a lovely room with an amazing view. The bed was superbly comfortable, the breakfast a real treat and the feeling of being looked after total!
Eating breakfast in the cafe/art gallery was a treat and I even got to go shopping in there at breakfast - marvellous!
Can't wait to come back....
We spent two very pleasant nights at Herriots. The couple who run the business were always friendly and helpful. We had comfortable room on the top floor with extensive views, including a view of the hills to the north of the town. It was a pleasure to have a nicely prepared full-englsh breakfast. We would use Herriots again if needed.
The rooms were comfortably appointed and views were lovely. This is a friendly place when you are tired and hungry. Tea was given upon arrival but with a charge. Lovely couple running the place. Breakfast was the usual full English with continental cold items if desired.
Herriot´s is grand on a walking trip! Glenn and Liz look after you with great care. We stayed 2 nights this May starting off on our walking trip and back again on the last night. Both rooms & bathrooms were excellent. Beyond accommodation it is actually the catering where both the hosts deserve more than recognition. The homemade cooking is...

John Galliano has been thrown out of the house of Dior. The 50-year-old couturier, given to sporting a look that might be described as swashbuckler chic, was booted from his top post at the French fashion firm after his bosses saw footage of Galliano allegedly declaring "I love Hitler" to two women at a Parisian cafe, according to the BBC.

Asetek has introduced a liquid cooling kit for AMD's new double-slot gaming monster, the Radeon HD 4870 X2. Though unfortunately OEM only, it at least takes some of the stank off of having a pair of these draw more than 750 watts in a high-end system by keeping them from throwing so much of that heat back inside the case. Though the image given with the press release appears to be of just a Radeon HD 4870 with the liquid cooling kit attached, their kit promises to reduce operating temperatures of the HD 4870 X2 by as much as 28 degrees.
They're announcing immediate availability of the kit. Hopefully this means AMD's partners will be offering liquid cooled X2s (or even just garden-variety 4870s) in the near future.

Port delivery restrictions to ships are forcing ship suppliers to use barges for the supply of ship stores – resulting in hundreds of pounds of increased logistic costs, warns the UK's leading ships chandler Hutton's.
Restrictions are enforced for a number of reasons, including security, safety and weight limits. Meanwhile barge costs are rising with the charges becoming prohibitive at some ports. Hutton's warns the problem is an issue worldwide and especially prevalent on continental Europe where barge supply has become commonplace.
"Ship operators are already under pressure to save costs and high barge fees put further burdens on their stretched budgets," warns Hutton's Managing Director Alex Taylor, a member of both the British Association of Ship Suppliers (BASS) and the International Ship Suppliers and Services Association (ISSA).
He advises vessel operators to factor in barge transfer costs when planning port calls to ensure transfer costs for ship supplies and spares are managed efficiently. Strategically selecting supply ports can result in a significant reduction to logistic costs when taking into account high barge costs which can reach £1,500 ($2,500).
"There are still some ports where shore to ship supply is possible, especially in the UK, and we advise our customers to use these whenever possible," says Mr Taylor. "Careful planning when ordering stores can eliminate the additional costs of a launch or barge and the savings can be considerable."
As part of Hutton's commitment to helping its customers keep costs to a minimum the company has produced a chart clearly showing the delivery restrictions at UK ports and this is displayed on its website. "This service is key to operators reducing costs" explains Alex Taylor "Our extensive branch network covers all UK ports so we are uniquely placed to be able to provide our customers with expert advice on where they can efficiently transfer stores and spares at the most cost effective locations for them."

The national Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) system is a multiphase endeavor to provide a common employee ID card for some 12 million transportation workers.
The Transportation Security Administration awarded a $3.8 million contract to Maximus Inc. in April to evaluate smart card technology. The next phase will involve creating a prototype.
A request for proposals (RFP) is expected this summer, according to Gene Kakalec, vice president of business development and marketing operations at Northrop Grumman Information Technology. He expects the prototype contract to be worth $8 million to $10 million.
TWIC's last phase, with an RFP expected in March 2004, will call for the system's full implementation. Northrop Grumman plans to pursue both the prototype and implementation phases as prime contractor, Kakalec said.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals release linebacker Ernie Sims
The Arizona Cardinals released linebacker Ernie Sims Thursday, just two days before the team's first preseason game.
Sims, 29, was brought in as an insurance policy in early June when inside linebacker Daryl Washington was handed a season-long suspension by the NFL for violation of the league's substance abuse policy.
"It was a fit (issue)," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said of why Sims didn't stick with the team. "I think a veteran, you owe him the respect to maybe find a team that he can fit. He's been a 4-3 stack linebacker his career. I like where some of the young guys are.
"I let Ernie go so that he can hopefully catch on real quick somewhere else."
The eight-year veteran out of Florida State started his career in Detroit in 2006 and spent four years with the Lions. In the past four years, he's played with Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Dallas.
Sims was listed third-string on the Cardinals' first depth chart of the season, which was released Monday.

Current Hearing-Aid Performance and the Requirements of Hearing-Impaired Persons
The performance of current hearing aids is reviewed and the limitations of performance specifications as applied to fitted aids outlined. It is found, for example, that the amplification required is proportional to the 0.4th rather than the first power of the hearing loss. Requirements indicate that levels up to 140 dB are needed and the concomitant dangers and problems are discussed.

Maple Leafs choose Miley Cyrus's "We Can't Stop" as victory song
Tyler Bozak is the mystery man behind the musical choice of Miley Cyrus in the Leafs dressing room.

Share via Email
The Maple Leafs have a new victory song this season —Miley Cyrus's We Can't Stop — although some of the players are a little sheepish talking about why that song plays in the dressing room immediately after the game.
"It's certainly not my choice," said Leaf forward Joffrey Lupul. "Whatever. As long as we keep winning, I'll deal with it."
Lupul would not reveal which Leaf presses play on that song.
"I don't want to say. You can probably figure it out."
That sent intrepid reporters on their way. Straight to Phil Kessel.
"It wasn't my pick, but it's all right," said Kessel. "It probably was my buddy's fault."
Aha. Tyler Bozak. Finally, through Twitter @Bozie42 owned up.
"Absolutely it was!!" tweeted Bozak.
Makes sense. Bozak had a thing for Taylor Swift at one point and seems drawn to young songstresses and bubblegum pop.
Then he took some heat.
When one fan tweeted: "Can't believe you listen to Miley," Bozak replied "Sue me, dude."

Never let it be said that Homer J. Simpson doesn't have a social conscience. Also, never let it be said that he passed up an opportunity to stick it to Ned Flanders.
Responding to the viral sensation with impressive speed — this isn't South Park, you know; animation typically takes time — Fox has released a video of Homer embracing the spirit, if not the actual title, of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. All right, maybe a glass of water isn't in keeping with the spirit.
However, in grand Simpsons tradition, even that doesn't turn out well for him …

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to producing an integrated circuit ("IC") device, particularly with regard to modeling parameters of an electronic sub-component block in the IC device, and particularly with regard to selecting among electrical properties and timing delays for many sub-components in a dynamic design environment in order to ensure accuracy for a top-level timing analysis.
2. Description of Background
In IC's, particularly in complex IC's such as for SMP computers like IBM� zSeries� mainframe computer systems manufactured by IBM, it is common to partition the IC into entities having a logical hierarchy. Many logical entities of the IC are included in a hierarchy of entities that are considered in the timing analysis process. Random logic macros ("RLM's," also referred to simply as "macros") are a major one of them. They typically include anywhere from a few hundred to several thousand leaf cells (also referred to as "elements"), such as combinatorial logic gates arid latches.
The prior art shown in
Once an RLM is synthesized, which produces a logical and physical representation for all its leaf cells, then the RLM's electrical parameters, like capacitance, resistance and inductance, are modeled at every point in the macro in schematic fashion. In addition, timing data such as gate propagation delay, wire delay, and phase information is also then extracted at every point. A set of output files is produced by each these processes and is referred to as a nominal delay rule (NDR). Any one of these NDR's for each macro can then be used in an overall timing analysis process, which is a process that takes into account a combination of many macros.
Aspects of the above are shown in
As shown in
Process 305 locates the NDR's by type. The NDR types enter the selection process 310 by type, as shown, and a determination is made as to which NDR to select for each RLM, based on established rules. The rules are: 1) select extracted NDR 214, if present; 2) if extracted NDR 214 is not present, then select schematic NDR 212, and, finally, 3) if neither extracted NDR 214 nor schematic NDR 212 are present, then default to a delay based NDR 210. The NDR selected for each RLM is used as input 240 to the main timing analysis. All NDR types for a RLM that are not selected are discarded.
Thus, applying process 310 shown in
A conventional procedure for selecting the most appropriate NDR for each ELM is to preferably select an NDR that is modeled from extracted data, since that kind of NDR incorporates real wire delays and parasitics, and thus maintains the highest degree of accuracy over all other forms. The next preferred NDR is conventionally one modeled after schematic data, which includes an estimate on she wire delays and parasitics, but still has a high degree of accuracy on the physical placement and delays of the leaf cells in the circuit. The least preferred is conventionally the NDR modeled after delay statements, which include no physical gate placement or wire data at all.
The present invention involves a recognition that the conventional process for selecting NDR's is problematic, particularly for large designs and in dynamic environments, at least because the conventional process ignores integrity of each NDR type and also ignores NDR generation dates. Provided that at the time of their selection, all NDR's are updated in all respects, so that they each reflect, all the latest design features and parameters for each of their respective RLM's, the prior art scheme ensures the highest degree of accuracy for timing analysis by always selecting an extracted NDR type when available, which provides detailed wire modeling information. However, for a large scale design this is highly unlikely, due to many complications presented by the design scale and the dynamic design environment.
The present invention addresses these problems. In one form of the invention, for a method in an integrated circuit ("IC") device design process, the IC device has entities related to one another in a logical hierarchy. Design production processes executed by a computer system produce representations of the respective entities and delay-definition data structures for the respective entities. According to the method, ones of the data structures are selected, wherein the data structures are for inputting to a timing analysis process. The selecting includes finding, by a first process executing on a computer system, the delay-definition data structures for the entities. Also, the selecting includes receiving data structures found by the first process and checking the data structures for missing or corrupted components by a second process executing on the computer system. The checking rejects data structures having missing or corrupted components. Also, the selecting includes receiving non-rejected data structures from the second process and selecting, by a third process executing on the computer system, from among the received, non-rejected data structures, a data structure with a most recent compile date for each respective entity. The selected ones of the non-eliminated data structures are provided to the timing analysis process for timing performance of the entity representations at hierarchical boundaries to determine whether the entities will function together at a desired frequency.
In another aspect, the timing analysis process executes on the computer system, and the first, second and third processes are executed at runtime inside the timing analysts process.
In another aspect, the design production processes are of respective predetermined types and the finding finds the delay-definition data structures for the entities independently of the type of design production processes.
In another aspect, the data structures each include a set of files and the checking of the received data structures for missing or corrupted components includes checking for a predetermined type of file in each set.
In another aspect, the method includes storing a record indicating the data structure has missing or corrupted files if the predetermined type of file is missing.
In another aspect, the relating to one another in a logical hierarchy includes the entities being associated with respective levels within the logical hierarchy and the finding includes finding the delay-definition data structures for each of the entities of a certain one of the hierarchy levels.
System and computer program products corresponding to the above-summarized methods are also described and claimed herein.
Additional features and advantages are realized through the techniques of the present invention. Other embodiments and aspects of the invention are described in detail herein and are considered a part of the claimed invention. For a better understanding of the invention with advantages and features, refer to the description and to the drawings.
The invention technically achieves a way of producing an IC chip that is more accurate, more dependable, and simpler to manage. The inherent problems associated with stale or outdated NDR's is eliminated through an automatic selection algorithm that always selects the most chronologically recent NDR, allowing more rapid design progress to transpire. In addition, corrupted or missing NPR's are discarded, which ensures no potentially critical timing paths are hidden for the subsequent timing analysis.
The subject matter regarded as the invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the claims at the conclusion of the specification. The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention are apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
The detailed description explains preferred embodiments of the invention, together with advantages and features, by way of example with reference to the drawings.
In the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings illustrating embodiments in which the invention, may be practiced. It should be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and changes maybe made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The drawings and detailed description arc not intended to limit the invention to the particular form disclosed. On the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims. Headings herein are not intended to limit the subject matter in any way.
The chip design process or processes described herein may he implemented by logic in the form of instructions executing on a computer system (also referred to as a "data processing system"), or entirely in the form of hardware, or in an embodiment containing both hardware and software elements. Application specific integrated circuitry is another example of hardware.
Note that the hierarchical classifications of logical entitle described herein are not necessarily related in terms of when the entities arose during the design process for a chip. Rather, it should be merely he understood that the end result of a chip design process is a structure in which a parent chip contains, or at least has associated with, children units that are in a sense placed thereon. Likewise, the children units contain, or at least are associated with, respective grandchildren macros that are in a sense placed on respective units.
Note also that the hierarchical classifications are not necessarily fixed throughout the entire chip. That is, in a first portion of a chip, a unit may be a child of the chip, while in a second portion, a core may be a child of the chip and a unit may be a child of the core, for example. Thus, in the second portion of the chip, an entity classified as a unit is grandchild of the chip, but in the first portion, an entity classified as a unit is a child of the chip.
It should he also understood that just as the hierarchical classifications are not necessarily fixed throughout the entire chip, likewise, the way in which logical entities are defined is not necessarily fixed throughout an entire logical entity. That is, a first part of it logic entity may be defined in a first manner, which uses a first set of terms, and a second part of the same entity may be defined in a different manner, which uses a second set of terms, where the first and second sets of terms define their portions of the chip at different levels of abstraction.
As explained herein above, timing analysis presents many difficulties. To further elaborate, a first difficulty arises because the IC design includes many RLM's produced by many different people using, many different tools. Further, timing analysis is not simply performed once after the designs of all these RLM's have been finished. Far from it Timing analysis may be, instead, performed throughout the course of the design process, while the logic of each of these RLM's is still subject to frequent change.
To complicate matters even further, it is not just an RLM's logic that frequently changes during the design process. There are different representations 201, 203, 205, 207, etc. of an RLM presenting different levels of detail, as explained regarding
To cite one specific example, schematic NPR's are typically available much sooner than extracted NDR's. So when, the logical representation for a RLM changes, as it may frequently do, a schematic NDR for the RLM may be more up to date than an extracted NDR. Due to the logic change, it may he desired to analyze overall timing. The conventional procedure, as described above, will always select the extracted NDR, if present, thereby missing the opportunity to see any potential change to the rest of the design. Operating in such a fashion with a large number of RLM's changing frequently can potentially harm project schedules.
Aspects of the present invention are summarized herein above. Turning now to drawings of an embodiment of the present invention, for greater detail,
With reference again to
Processes 202, 204, and 206 produce respective NDR's 210, 212 and 214 repeatedly, i.e., at various times and for various different versions of many macros of the chip. Accordingly, in the illustrated embodiment of
In the illustrated Instance, properties of the NDR's 210, 212 and 214 are indicated by parts of their respective names, i.e., associated macro by "M" prefix, NDR type by particular predefined characters ("D" for delay based, "$" for schematic based, and "E" for extraction based), and the times they were respectively generated by numbers juxtaposed with respective "T" suffixes, such as "T1" for an NDR created at time T1, which is earlier than a time T2, etc. It should be understood by reference to
With reference again to
More specifically, Process 505 locates the existing NDR's for each RLM, which may include three NDR types, in the illustrated embodiment. This includes process 505 searching libraries 210, 212 and 214 for all NDR's, not just by type. Also, Process 500 also includes two additional filter processes 510 and 520 for selecting an NDR.
Filter process 510 checks for missing or corrupt NDR's, and if it finds one then discards it appropriately, i.e., rejects it for use in timing analysis. Process 510 detects this by checking to make sure all NDR files are present in a set of files that constitute an NDR. In one embodiment of the invention, the last file that is written out by processes such as processes 202, 204 and 206 in connection with a run that generates NDR's, is a file called "bomFile." Process 510 checks for the existence of this file in each set of files that constitute an NDR. Empirical results have shown that if this file is there, it can be generally be concluded that all the files of the NDR are there. However, if this file is missing, then all the files of the NDR that are needed for timing analysis process 250 are usually not there, and the NDR produced by that run is therefore excluded from consideration.
Further, even if all the needed files are there, if the bomFile is missing, this provides no guarantee as to the integrity of the NDR. So also for this reason process 510 excludes the NDR from farther consideration if the bomFile is missing. Process 510 may also store a record indicating the NDR has missing or corrupted files if the bomFile is missing.
Process 520 then receives the NDR's that not rejected by the filtering, i.e., that are selected, by process 510. Process 520 then, selects from among the non-rejected NDR's the NDR of the type with the most recent compile date, to guarantee the chip-level timing results generated by timing analysis process 250 uses the most up-to-date input 440 reflecting the most up-to-date macro logic as possible. That is, process 520 rejects less recent NDR's from inclusion as input 440.
It should be appreciated that the selection scheme as shown in
In one embodiment of the invention, an exception to the above described selection occurs in the case of a corrupted or missing NDR, as determined by process 510. At times NDR generation can incur errors, thus affecting the integrity or even the viable completion of the modeling analysis. This can happen as the result of insufficient batch resources or due to machine memory failures in a parallel networked computer environment. In such events, process 510 discards such NDR's and selects the next appropriate one, thus providing a notable advantage over tire established procedure. This is extremely important, since a missing or corrupted NDR has the unfortunate side effect of omitting timing for its associated portion of the design, and any part connected to it. This can mask potentially critical timing paths that may impair the progress and overall maturation of the design.
Note also, regarding process 520, that should a extracted NDR and schematic NDR have the same compile date for a RLM, then process 520 selects the extracted NDR, since presumably it will provide more accurate modeling due to the inclusion of detailed wiring and parasitics.
Process 500 thus performs two duties simultaneously, i.e., selecting the most recent NDR for every RLM in a system, while deselecting any corrupted NDR's that may mask critical timing paths during a timing analysis. In the rare event that all NDR types are bad (missing or incomplete) for a particular macro, then process 500 will do no better or worse than the standard all-or-nothing selection scheme, resulting in a model build error for that macro.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the NDR selection process 500 is performed automatically via a script executed at runtime inside the main timing process. This is to eliminate any human error that may be introduced should the user forget to run the process before executing the timing analysis. It is not practical in a large scale design for process 500 to be applied manually for each RLM in the design, because that would take tar more time and be prone to substantial error. The automation of process 500 ensures the highest degree of accuracy in the data being modeled in the shortest amount of time.
Process 500 is described herein above in terms of one level of hierarchy, which in the embodiment described as illustrated as being macros. Multiple levels of hierarchy can be supported simply by invoking the process 500 one for each level in the design.
Process 500 is also a suitable tool for analyzing NDR compile problems, computer network issues, or other system environment problems as pertains to the generation of NDR's. A high amount of discarded NDR's by algorithm 500 may be used as a signal that one of the above mentioned issues needs to be investigated.
System and computer program products corresponding to the above-summarized methods are also described and claimed herein.
The capabilities of the present invention can be implemented in software, firmware, hardware or some combination thereof.
As one example, one or more aspects of the present invention can be included in an article of manufacture (e.g., one or more computer program products) having, for instance, computer usable media.

SA/Brazil missile programme achieves important milestoneBack
© Reuse this
Denel Dynamics, part of the South African State-owned Denel defence industrial group, has revealed that the AAM's first series of programmed flight tests had been successfully completed last week.
These tests were carried out at Denel's OTB test range, on the country's south coast, near Bredasdorp in the Western Cape.
They served to check the A-Darter's manoeuvrability and its characteristics under high g-forces.
In parallel, tests were also executed on the seeker head of the AAM, to evaluate its ability to track targets.
Both sets of tests were highly successful.
"The flight tests were a successful first in the series to prove the specifications and simulation models," states Denel Dynamics CEO Jan Wessels, "which bodes well for the missile's eventual integration on the South African Air Force's Gripen fighter jets, the Brazilian Air Force's F-5M aircraft, as well as the latter's possible FX programme for a future front-line fighter."
The A-Darter is designed to be a highly agile (hence the A prefix in its name) missile, able to manoeuvre at very high G-forces.
Its imaging IR seeker is designed to have very high angles of view - some 90° off boresight.
With a mass of under 100 kg, the AAM is powered by a boost-sustain rocket motor, with thrust vector flight control.
It is being developed by an integrated South African-Brazilian team, with South African defence acquisition, disposals, and research and development agency Armscor providing management for the programme.
The key technologies for the A-Darter were established by 2006, and full-scale development has been under way since 2007.

Budget losers
Homeland Security
The Bush administration requested $4.43 billion for information technology spending for the Homeland Security Department, an 8 percent increase. A large chunk of the IT dollars would go to expanding existing customs, border, transportation and traveler security programs.
The U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology program, recently launched in airports and seaports, is one program the administration wants to expand to further modernize border management systems and capabilities and integrate databases.
"That program has been very successful, processing more than 900,000 legitimate passengers since the beginning of the year and matching 89 potential entrants against criminal watch lists," said DHS Secretary Tom Ridge during a budget briefing last week.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is working on several technology-related initiatives, including a proposed $64 million expansion of a remote video system along the country's southern and northern borders for enhanced detection and monitoring. Another proposed
$126 million — of which $25 million is new — would help fund Phases I and II and begin Phase III of the Container Security Initiative that seeks to enhance the technological capacity of screeners at foreign ports.
The evolving network-centric warfare doctrine benefited in the administration's request for a $401.7 billion fiscal 2005 budget for the Defense Department, a 5.7 percent increase from $380 billion a year ago.
IT spending accounted for $27.4 billion, up about $3 billon from last year. The request included $9.9 billion for various department agencies, followed by $6.3 billion for the Air Force, $5.7 billion for the Navy and $5.3 billion for the Army.
Officials also requested
$10.8 billion for the science and technology portion of the fiscal 2005 research, development, test and evaluation budget — a $600 million increase from a year ago. Congress ultimately approved $12.1 billion for science and technology in fiscal 2004.
DOD's rapid posting, processing and accessing data and intelligence received a boost for 2005. Officials requested $125 million for network centricity and $52 million for net-centric enterprise services.
The Justice Department would see a 6 percent boost for IT programs, mostly aimed at supporting the fight against terrorism. The $2.2 billion for IT would support programs such as an integrated fingerprint system, consolidated infrastructure initiative and comprehensive terrorist watch list.
One of the largest requested increases is for a project that would merge two fingerprint databases, one from the former Immigration and Naturalization Service and one from the FBI. The administration requested $34 million for the initiative, up from $5.1 million. Justice's inspector general has criticized the initiative, saying it has fallen far behind schedule.
The budget also includes $29 million for the Terrorist Screening Center, which would combine a dozen terrorist watch lists. The administration also asked for $35.5 million for the Terrorist Threat Integration Center, which would enable law enforcement and homeland security officials to share terrorist information.
Spending would also boost the departmentwide unified financial management system, the consolidated infrastructure project and the integrated wireless network to provide secure communications for officials in the Justice, Treasury and Homeland Security departments. The FBI's Trilogy modernization project would get $97.1 million for operation and maintenance.

The new multi-year deal includes NOVA, Masterpiece and Ken Burns documentaries and PBS KIDS series including Caillou, Arthur, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, Dinosaur Train and Wild Kratts, the companies say. The arrangement continues the arms race with Netflix to land children's shows — kids are a key market for streaming services. (Netflix recently announced a major deal with DreamWorks Animation.) Amazon says that the PBS KIDS shows will be available on its Kindle FreeTime Unlimited service, which, paradoxically for a service that bills itself as being "unlimited," is designed to help parents limit viewing time. The new arrangement along with Amazon's recent deal with Viacom to offer shows including Dora the Explorer, Go Diego, Go!, and The Backyardigans "brings some of the most popular kids programming to Prime Instant Video, making it the perfect place for the whole family to catch up on all their favorites," says Director of Digital Video Content Acquisition Brad Beale.
