text: Home Recipes & How-Tos Brazilian Recipes Brazilian Recipes Print Email Brazil, South America's largest, most populous country, has a diverse population that includes indigenous peoples, Portuguese, Spaniards, Africans, Italians, Germans, Lebanese and Japanese. The result is a variety of cooking styles that can be divided into four distinct culinary regions: Northern: In the north or the Amazon, traditional dishes use fish, yams, nuts and tropical fruits. Vatapá, a soup of seafood, coconut milk and nuts, is a signature dish in northeastern coastal areas. The northeast is also home to sugar, a key ingredient in the Caipirinha, a trendy Brazilian cocktail that features cachaça, a brandy made from sugar cane. Western: In the central west and the Pantanal wetlands, local cooks rely on an ample supply of fish and game. Southeastern: Brazil's industrial heart lies in the southeast, where plentiful beans, pork and corn are produced. The southeast is also home to Brazil's de facto national dish, the classic comfort food Feijoada. Southern: Internationally, Brazil is perhaps best known for churrasco, the southern region's cowboy or gaucho cuisine. Churrascarias (steak houses) are a meat lover's paradise and a cornerstone of local culture.

CRS-1 Holds RIP/TOA Ceremony on Camp Lemonnier
Story Number: NNS140121-01Release Date: 1/21/2014 7:40:00 AM
From Camp Lemonnier Public Affairs
CAMP LEMONNIER, Djibouti (NNS) -- Coastal Riverine Squadron 1-Forward conducted a relief in place/transfer of authority ceremony Jan. 17 as CRS-1 Forward Wave 1 was replaced by CRS-1 Forward Wave 2.
Wave 2 assumed responsibility for providing afloat anti-terrorism force protection for Camp Lemonnier, U.S. and coalition assets operating in the port of Djibouti.
"The transfer of authority ceremony is a time-honored tradition," said Capt. Peter Van Stee, Camp Lemonnier commanding officer, who oversaw the ceremony.
Cmdr. James Collins, officer in charge of Wave 1, thanked his Sailors for their tireless efforts and many successes. U.S. Coast Guard Cmdr. Alan Tubbs, officer in charge of Wave 2, challenged his Sailors to live up to the benchmarks established by wave one.
"With the words 'I have relieved Cmdr. Collins as commander of Coastal Riverine Squadron One,'" said Van Stee, "Cmdr. Tubbs will assume the rights and responsibilities inherent with his position."
Wave 1 conducted operations in the Horn of Africa since June 2013. In total, they spent more than 350 cumulative days underway as a group and conducted 95 high risk choke point transits without incident. Wave 1 also forged new territory for CRS units operating in HOA by establishing supplemental rules of engagement, creating memorandums of understanding with the Djiboutian navy and coast guard and developing best practices for future operations.
Wave 1 had 10 petty officer, two chief petty officer and one senior chief petty officer promotions while in theater. Additionally, 45 Wave 1 Sailors earned the Enlisted Expeditionary Warfare Specialist Qualification while at Camp Lemonnier.
Coastal riverine squadrons, formerly known as maritime expeditionary security squadrons, were established in the wake of terrorist attacks abroad, in particular the 2000 bombing of guided-missile destroyer USS Cole (DDG 67) in Yemen.
Coastal riverine squadrons provide rapidly deployable point-defense personnel and assets for force protection and anti-terrorism operations in support of fleet commanders.
Camp Lemonnier, the only enduring U.S. military base on the continent of Africa, supports coalition commands engaged in a full spectrum of operations across Africa, the Middle East and the Indian Ocean.

Salem, a district located in the state of Tamil Nadu, is commonly known as the Mango city, Steel city, Agro city and Electric City. The city gets the name from the word 'Sela' or 'Shalya' which means 'the country around the hills'. Poiman Karadu, Mettur Dam, Namakkal, and Tharamangalam are a few sightseeing options in and around Salem. Jama Masjid, built by Tipu Sultan, and situated on the banks of Thirumanimuthu River is the oldest mosque in Salem. Yercaud Hills, a hill station, is located 22 km away from Salem in the Shevaroy range of hills in Eastern Ghats. Places like Siddhar Temple, Kottai Mariamman Temple, Skandhashram, Kothandaramar temple, Sithar Koil, Othumali Murugan temple, Pandurangan Hill temple, Kumaragiri Hill Murugan temple, ISKON, Kariperumal Karadu Hill temple are a few temples located in Salem. Kurumbapatti Zoological Park, Anna Park, Anamarathupatti lake, Paravasa Ulagam, Kiliyur Falls, and Dream Land attracts fair amount of visitors.
Dindigul, located in the state of Tamil Nadu, lies between the famous Palani and Sirumalai Hills. The city gets its name from a huge rock that overlooks the city and which resembles a pillow. This place was under the reign of Tipu Sultan for a long time and was later conquered by the British. Dindigul fort, built by Muthu Krishna Naicker in the 17th century, is one of the main attractions here. The site is currently maintained by the ASI. Kamarajar Lake, Berijam Lake, Kutladampatti Waterfalls and Ayyampalayam are few other beautiful places nearby.

I have a need to debug a remote FPGA and would like to use the XVC facility with Chipscope. My remote system has ethernet connected to a external processor, this is then connected to the FPGA via PCIe, the processor does not have any connection to the FPGA JTAG pins.
I don't have an embedded license so using Microblaze and its MDM in the FPGA isn't really an option.
I assume I would have to use an ICON with its BSCAN interface set to external, and then provide some way of controlling its BSCAN interface. For this BSCAN interface I assume I would have to implement my own TAP control state machine, either in software or the FPGA, and use this to provide the relevant signals.
So is it possible?
If so has anyone actually tried this and has any pointers?

Flex Stay and Play Package
Coming to Myrtle Beach for a day? the weekend? or maybe two weeks? The "flex" stay and play package allows you to take advantage of the best pricing no matter how long your golf "escape" may be.Learn More
June 2015 marked the end of a remarkable 40-year run for one of Myrtle Beach golf's most iconic courses.
Waterway Hills Golf Club, one of only two Robert Trent Jones designs on the Grand Strand along with The Dunes Golf and Beach Club, officially ceased operations on June 24, 2015. It had been purchased earlier in the year by LStar Management, owner of the neighboring Grande Dunes residential development.
Waterway Hills leaves behind lasting memories for more than 1.5 million visiting golfers who included it in their golf vacation plans since it first opened in 1975. Their first impression came via the course's renowned gondola ride that crossed high over the Intracoastal Waterway, offering a one-of-a-kind panoramic of Mr. Jones' 27-hole collection and a dramatic welcome to an unforgettable round to come.
And for all the additional golfing options along the Grand Strand, Waterway Hills was one of only seven area golf courses with holes that play along the Intracoastal Waterway, joining the likes of Arrowhead Country Club, Glen Dornoch, Grande Dunes Resort Club, the Norman Course at Barefoot Resort, the Palmetto Course at Myrtlewood Golf Club and Tidewater Golf Club.
As time marches on and the Waterway Hills land enters a new era of redevelopment, nearby courses offer alternative tee time options that keep you within a short drive of the famed Restaurant Row district. The aforementioned courses, along with nearby Pine Lakes Country Club, Myrtlewood Golf Club's PineHills Course and Arcadian Shores Golf Club, feature distinctive designs that are an easy fit for your next Myrtle Beach golf vacation itinerary.

Inspired this time of year by the earliest signs of spring to carry on their ancient species, shad don't know they're failing the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's survival test.
They're just doing what comes naturally.
Many cash streams flow into cleaning up the Bay
Stormwater doesn't stop running, especially in a Chesapeake season Noah could appreciate.
UniStar Nuclear is too French for Uncle Sam
Local cheering for a third nuclear reactor at Calvert Cliffs has seemed misplaced.
The economics of nuclear power are next to impossible these days with the federal government no longer able to provide loan guarantees and cheap natural gas the happening new energy source.
Then there's Japan's Fukushima nuclear disaster two years ago that rekindled safety concerns.
Grading the Bay's health and Maryland's congressional delegation
Sister Ignatius enters her final week at Bay Theatre Company, but Sisters Alphonse, Clotilda and Extrema cast an eternal shadow in my memory. I suspect it's the image of numbers inked in their neat hands that makes me to this day averse to report cards.
This week, the lion is winning
I'm stuck here in the middle with you. In this season of uncertainty, the good company is welcome.
Supposedly Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan were stuck in the middle of record negotiations when they wrote those lyrics, recorded by their band Stealers Wheel in 1972.
They could have been writing about March, the month that bears the double character of lion and lamb.
Crossword creator Ben Tausig wins Orca award for Best Crossword
When your favorite movie wins an Oscar, you can say I was there — virtually.
You've gotten closer than that in the world of puzzles if you've matched wits with Ben Tausig, winner of the Orca for Best Crossword of 2012.
Here's to Magic Weisner, Laura Neuman and the power of possibility
The Odd Chance
In 2002, a Maryland dark horse named Magic Weisner came within a half-length of stealing the Preakness Stakes from front runner War Emblem. Local small-scale trainer Nancy Alberts believed in Magic, who she named for the vet who saved the magically resilient foal's life. That horse could run.
Cheering with the rest of Maryland, I followed the story to Laurel Racetrack, where I interviewed Alberts and Magic.
In the literary economy, poetry is an art more in supply than demand. Nearly everybody writes poetry, or so it seems. But who reads it?
Little kids love its melody and meaning, but by high school it's force-fed. Most of the rest of us take it, often in the form of Hallmark verse, to help us express emotions for which we seem to have no words of our own.

The Great & Beautiful Lost Kingdoms
Yet to tell the diffusion of Indian influence at this period as two separate processes partially obscures a still more extraordinary story. For it is now increasingly clear that between the fourth and twelfth centuries the influence of India in both Southeast and Central Asia, and to some degree also China, was comparable to the influence of Greece in Aegean Turkey and Rome, and then in the rest of Europe in the early centuries BC. From the empire of the Gupta dynasty in the north and that of the Pallava dynasty in the south, India during this period radiated its philosophies, political ideas, and architectural forms out over an entire continent not by conquest but by sheer cultural sophistication.
On a path to liberation....
Over a thousand monks and laymen are revered in Tibetan Buddhism as the incarnations of past teachers who convey enlightenment to their followers from one lifetime to the next. Some of the most respected are known by the honorific "rinpoche." For eight centuries, rinpoches were traditionally identified by other monks and then locked inside monasteries ringed by mountains, far from worldly distractions. Their reincarnation lineages were easily tracked across successive lives. Then the Chinese Red Army invaded Tibet in 1950 and drove the religion's adherents into exile. Now, the younger rinpoches of the Tibetan diaspora are being exposed to all of the twenty-first century's dazzling temptations. So, even as Tibetan Buddhism is gaining more followers around the world, an increasing number of rinpoches are abandoning their monastic vows. Reincarnation in Exile. [more inside]
The Feminine side of Buddhism
As in most religions, Buddhism's pantheon of deities and saints has been male dominated. The preeminent exception to this is Kuan Yin, the goddess of compassion, also called Guan Yin or Kannon. She is the female form of the bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara, who underwent a gender shift after being popularized in China. She has inspired amazing forms of worship. [more inside]

@dida Do you have a license to use Tahoma with @font-face? As far as I'm aware, you cannot. And just because it may be preinstalled on your computer does not allow you to do so. Always check the license information.
Get it here:
Note: This does not include bold or italic sets. You have to purchase them separately.
@dida Like I stated above, you cannot use Tahoma on your website with @font-face since it is against the EULA of the desktop version. Meaning, you are not allowed to take your desktop version of Tahoma and convert it into webfont files. You have to purchase the webfont version of Tahoma which gives you a valid license.
If you're having issues seeing the font on your machine, you can download the font for Windows. On Macs, people have posted issues with it being disabled which you can fix by a simple google search.
Does that solve your issue?

It's been said many times. The accelerating pace of change is challenging extant social structures, economic mobility in the United States is declining, and many millennials may never experience the economic success of their parents. Globalization and automation are increasing manufacturing efficiency and output while requiring fewer workers with different skills. We face continuing global population growth and demographic shifts; sectarian forces are creating a global diaspora; environmental sustainability and climate change are existential threats; health care costs continue climbing while accessibility recedes; and social justice and equality remain elusive. Unsurprisingly, people are deeply worried about their future and that of their families, regardless of political persuasion. In turn, this stress has stirred the cauldron of political rhetoric, while reasoned debate, political compromise, and purposeful, strategic action have become ever more difficult.
As states continue to grapple with revenue shortfalls and mandatory spending commitments, others are publicly questioning the value of higher education as an essential public good. Meanwhile, the great recession has accelerated the decline in state funding for public universities, limiting their ability to respond, and forcing rises in tuition to help offset declining state support. Given these challenges, how do we in academe address the wicked problems now facing our global village?
By analogy with William Jevons' four functions of money, let me suggest that we in research universities have three functions, each of which matters in equal measure. First, we create new knowledge; that is the essence of research and scholarship, the defining attribute of a research university, one that distinguishes it from institutions focused solely on teaching. Second, we transmit knowledge and skills to a new generation; we educate and inform, not just with long-known facts but also with fresh insights from recent scholarship. Finally, we engage society with our knowledge and expertise; at our best, we address societal issues and challenges with new found capability that enlightens, empowers and improves the lives of others.
Though basic research, by definition, often lacks immediate or obvious applications, when we fail to communicate and demonstrate the importance of research via clear and telling examples of past success or future possibility, we abrogate our support. (That indispensable smartphone rests on decades of basic research in physics and computer science.) When we fail to connect education to the needs and opportunities of our citizens, we lose our relevance. (Those pharmacists, nurses, dentists and medical doctors trained by universities serve our communities.) Most dangerously, when we fail to engage society in times of need, we sacrifice our place of honor and respect. (Our partnerships on flood management and our support for business startups help ensure the well-being and economic success of our communities.)
Polls show that professors still rank far ahead of used car salespeople and members of Congress in both respect and trust, but we have slipped a few notches in the public's eye. Sometimes, our language and mien often give credence to those who believe academics are the very embodiment of the Ben Franklin adage, "He was so learned that he could name a horse in nine languages; so ignorant that he bought a cow to ride on."
When we take umbrage (a fine academic phrase, but one not commonly heard on any street non-adjacent to a university) at public questions and criticism, denigrating it as uninformed pique, we often confirm Franklin's caricature of one possessing knowledge but lacking wisdom. We must be willing to reflect on the reasons for criticism, engage in thoughtful discussion with our critics, and respond appropriately. As that old Scot, Rabbie Burns put it,
O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
An' foolish notion:
What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us,
An' ev'n devotion!
As academics, we must engage our stakeholders and partners in their context and address their legitimate problems and concerns, and we must do so honestly, humbly and thoughtfully. In so doing, we will help them and also help ourselves, educating one another. Solution to complex, wicked problems requires many insights, diverse perspectives, new ideas, and determined commitment. We in academia do not have all the answers, but we do have knowledge, skills and insights that are of value.
We begin by knowing ourselves, as Alexander Pope's timeless opening couplet from his Essay on Man suggests:
Know then thyself, presume not God to scan
The proper study of mankind is Man
We abandon academic hubris and a sense of entitlement. We talk less and listen more. We roll up our sleeves, get our hands dirty, and engage society. When we do, the true conversation begins.
Now excuse me, while I go mount my bovine steed, er horse, and head into town.
Andy Warhol's aphorism on everyone experiencing fifteen minutes of fame, though presciently characterizing an accelerating world, was a perspective from a more languid and less peripatetic time. If you doubt this, look no further than a twitterstorm, when a tweet by or about a pop star or athlete triggers a viral response, first across social media and then the mainstream media; strum und drang rage, while nuance and perspective are lost.
As the means and methods of electronic communication exponentially expand, identifying and separating the factual, useful, and insightful from the erroneous, extraneous, and hyperbolic becomes ever more difficult. Alas, this is the human version of the Shannon-Hartley theorem, with the signal (news) often lost in the noise. I too am often guilty, tweeting, and retweeting memes and headlines with inadequate thought, contributing to the detritus of reasoned communication.
Individual thoughtfulness and perspective are the burden and responsibility afforded by ubiquitous, instantaneous communication. As we disintermediate communication and information sharing, we each must become thoughtful editors, deciding for ourselves what is newsworthy and shareable.
In the heat of the moment, with mounting pressure to respond to still unfolding events, it is tempting to offer hasty and ill-informed opinions. Commentators pontificate, sound bites are replayed, and social media storm, while memes ricochet through the global infosphere in an echoing cacophony. In such a cauldron, emotions rise, strong opinions form, and judgments are rendered, often in minutes or hours.
Few issues, even ones of principle, can be assessed and evaluated so quickly, nor are they so simple as to be reduced to a 140 character précis, no matter how wise or insightful the writer. Most topics, and certainly the important ones, warrant informed exploration, careful consultation, and thoughtful reflection. This takes time – days or weeks– and occasionally months or years. Indeed, the very act of preparing a response, whether a speech or an essay, forces one to contemplate and consider history, context, and multiple, sometimes discordant perspectives. Such is the nature of informed assessment and discourse.
Difficult though it is to believe, there was a time when the adiabatic compression of communication cycles and hyperkinetic velocity of information quarks did not seem like Brownian motion, induced by the heat of mutual interaction. Debates and perspectives could evolve over months and years, shaped by extended information gathering, rather than in minutes and days, driven by a ravenous demand for instant outcomes.
Long-form oratory once defined public debate, and in the hands of a skilled and informed speaker, it still can. Daniel Webster's Second Reply to Hayne transformed this country from an uncertain federation of states into a strong union. His ringing cry – union and liberty, now and forever, one and inseparable – became the defining statement on the limits of states' rights, rivaling in some ways that of the Federalist Papers. Such was the influence of Webster that in Steven Vincent Benét's fanciful telling, Dan'l bested the devil himself.
Nor can one ever read or listen to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's stirring I Have a Dream oration, with its haunting line, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character," and not be moved by both the power and the content of the message. The speech defined an image of justice and equality that we still seek to realize, as recent events have reminded us.
Each spoke from prepared notes, but also felt free to expound extemporaneously. Both drew on a lifetime of study and experience, and from that preparation came rhyme and meter, cadence and timing, imbued with eloquence and power, grandeur and simplicity.
As perhaps the greatest orators of their respective centuries, the seminal speeches of both men warrant careful study. Robert Caro's Lyndon Johnson: Master of the Senate recounts Webster's oration and its immediate and long-term impacts on the country. Dr. King's speech, and the circumstances surround it, are powerful reminders of the inequality and injustice we have not yet addressed.
I am a strong believer in the democratizing power of electronic media. Broader access has given a global voice to many who were heretofore disenfranchised and silenced. When egregious statements or acts warrant an immediate and unqualified condemnation, unfettered and uncensored communication is a powerful force for justice. As many have rightly noted, evil triumphs when the good fail to raise their voices.
Yet there is also a crucial place for long form oratory, as both Senator Webster and Dr. King showed us. Their voices and their messages echo across the ages. I cannot imagine any of our quarks of de minimis, instantaneous interaction – sound bites, tweets, texts, emoticons -- doing that.
The newspapers and airwaves are currently filled with talk of "network neutrality." Technically, it is about traffic – email, web queries, voice and video – and its possible prioritization on the Internet. Should Internet service providers and governments treat all data equally, or can they give preference to some content, sites, applications, users or devices based on defined criteria?
If you believe the pundits, network neutrality is about truth, justice and the unfettered right to watch YouTube videos. In reality, the network neutrality debate is a power and economic struggle between Internet service providers (i.e., mostly cable systems, telephone companies and wireless carriers) and those who provide content and services (e.g., movie and video services, search engines, social networks, web site hosts, email service providers and Internet businesses). Mediated by the U.S. government, the outcome of this battle has profound implications for all of us who consume content and use the Internet for work, recreation and social interaction. It will determine how much we pay for bandwidth, what services are available and how good they are.
To understand the net neutrality power struggle, it's instructive to consider an analogy with roads and traffic. Imagine a world where almost all roads were built, owned and operated by companies, rather than state and local governments. To recoup their construction costs and a profit, the companies charge tolls on all cars and trucks using the roads. To further complicate things, many of those road companies also operate their own fleets of cars and trucks, competing with their customers to deliver some goods and services.
The question is whether the road owners and operators can give priority to certain cars or trucks – their own or those of others -- based on how much the owners are willing to pay, the size of the fleets, and where the traffic goes. Superficially, the answer would seem to be obvious – yes, they should – until you realize that the goods and services on which individuals, businesses and governments all depend are being delivered by those cars and trucks. This conundrum is the balance of private enterprise and the public good.
One need look no further than the history of water companies, electric utilities, radio and television, and telephone companies to see the creative tension between regulation for the common good and stimulating free enterprise and supporting innovation. Many of us remember when the old AT&T (Ma Bell) was a regulated monopoly, with telephone rates and services subject to state and federal approval. The 1982 breakup of AT&T into a long distance company and a set of regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs) led to an explosion of wired and wireless services, competition from Sprint and MCI, and much lower long distance rates.
However, those old telephone regulations also supported the public good, ensuring that inexpensive telephone service was available everywhere, whether one lived in an isolated, rural area or a large city. Why? Because the regulations included cross-subsidies to support rural service. For all the excitement about high-speed Internet access, it is not universally available because the revenue in rural areas does not cover the costs of service. (Think about the toll road analogy again. Private sector toll roads are only economically attractive where there is high traffic.)
This brings us back to the network neutrality debate. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is proposing to treat the Internet, both wired and wireless, as a telecommunications service, using the same legal authority it uses to regulate other telecommunications services – radio, television, and telephony. Under the proposed rules, Internet broadband would be treated as a "common carrier," meaning the network must be open for all without discrimination. In addition, the FCC has proposed to refrain (forbear) from enforcing those regulatory provisions not relevant to modern broadband services. Nor would the proposal regulate rates or mandate service.
The political and economic battle is raging over how much regulation would be applied and how those regulations would affect the players. Some argue that any regulation will stifle innovation and private sector investment, and bring us a step closer to big brother rate regulation and tariffs – in the spirit of Ma Bell oversight.
I think that is highly unlikely, as the Internet is filled with competing services and companies. Rather, the network neutrality debate is about balancing innovation, private enterprise and the public good, while ensuring fairness and equal access. Simply put, it is a debate about appropriate checks and balances for a critical service. It should not be a political issue.
Internet access was once a luxury, but no longer. In a 21st century knowledge economy, high-speed Internet services are the roads, waterways and rail lines of trade and commerce. They are the successors to telegraphy and telephony, coupling individuals and families across time and space. They are society's essential services, especially in a state like Iowa, where we are deeply dependent on communication for our future.
We need policies that enable universal access, while also ensuring Internet service providers have the flexibility and freedom to innovate and the economic returns to make that attractive. We also need mechanisms and technologies that support both top down and bottom up network deployment, allowing new market entrants and existing companies to expand coverage.
Remember, network neutrality is not just about streaming high definition movies to your television or mobile device, or buying goods and services via an e-commerce site. It's also about broadband access for education, electronic consultation with a medical specialist to avoid a repeat visit to the hospital during a winter storm, small businesses marketing products globally, and precision agriculture that lets Iowa farmers maximize crop yields. In short, network neutrality is complicated, but it matters to all of us.
Warning: This is a long post, reflecting the complexity and nuance of Internet governance.
Just before the 2012 holidays, the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT), pronounced as "wicket" by the cognoscenti, concluded in Dubai. In the buildup to the WCIT, there was much handwaving and fearmongering, political position jockeying, and backroom negotiations by multinational companies, governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), technology policy wonks and political pundits. There were frequent stories in the trade and policy rags and the mainstream press, including the New York Times. How, you might ask, could such a seemingly obscure conference engender such an international frenzy?
In the spirit of full disclosure, I should reveal that I spent a good portion of the last three years working on this issue, while heading Microsoft's Technology Policy Group. I traveled the world, meeting telecommunications policy leaders, trade associations, companies and senior representatives of international governments, including ones from the United States Departments of State, Commerce and Federal Communications Commission (FCC). With that disclosure, as well as noting that what follows are my personal opinions, a bit of background and history is in order.
The International Telecommunications Union (ITU), which is a United Nations organization, organizes the WCIT. The ITU began as the International Telegraph Union, which suggests some its origins and history. Originally responsible for coordinating global use of the radio spectrum and, more recently, assisting in international assignment of satellite orbits, the ITU now operates under three units, the ITU-R (radiocommunications), ITU-T (standardization) and ITU-D (development).
As a UN organization, the ITU's members are countries, rather than individuals, companies or NGOs. Despite the one country, one vote governance model, there is multistakeholder participation in some informal aspects of the ITU. I was a frequent visitor to the ITU, and I participated in ITU retreats and CTO roundtables. I know the ITU leadership well.
Because major ITU policies and approaches, including tariffs, are codified as international treaties – the International Telecommunication Regulations (ITRs) – policy changes are fraught with all the complexities that accompanies any international treaty. Indeed, before the 2012 WCIT, the ITRs were last updated in 1988. The languid pace of treaty change is but one of many challenges posed by the ITRs. It has also brought into question the relevance of the ITU and its policies and approaches. The country voting model and UN culture do not match the freewheeling Internet world.
Looking back twenty four years to the previous WCIT takes one almost to prehistory in Internet time. The TCP/IP protocols were in place, but international networking was largely a research or private network curiosity and dialup modems defined the consumer network experience. The World Wide Web was still a gleam in the eye of Tim Berners-Lee; the Mosaic web browser had not burst on the scene; the dot.com frenzy was yet to come; mobile phones were rare, expensive and bulky; and plummeting international telephony charges due to IP-based audio and video calling were still over the horizon. In short, the telecommunications world of 2012-2013 is radically different from the staid landscape of 1988.
The technological and economic changes wrought by the Internet in those fourteen years are equaled by the social and cultural changes. Geographically and politically separated regions are now digitally interconnected in ways unthinkable just a few years ago. The global flow of information has challenged governments, companies, NGOs and individuals to adapt legal frameworks, regulations, technical operations, social expectations and national security operations. (See Globally Connected, Globally Worried and Information Privacy: Changing Norms and Expectations for a bit of perspective.)
One can parse Internet governance challenges in several ways: technical, legal and economic, social and ethical and national security. Let's begin with the technical issues, which are perhaps the simplest. Operating the global Internet effectively requires de facto adherence to an evolving set of technical standards. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) manages the domain name system (DNS) and IP address blocks on behalf of the international community.
Although not without controversy, ICANN and its sister organization, the Internet Society's Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), have generally been effective in creating a multistakeholder governance model for Internet operations. However, the tizzy over generic top-level domain names (gTLDs) and intellectual property protection has heightened government desires to control ICANN.
Shifting to economics, companies, countries, NGOs and privacy advocates all worry about the transnational flow of data, differing laws and intellectual property protections, jurisdictional constraints and safe harbors. If you are a Kenyan national working for a German company with operations in Brazil, and you travel to India, just whose laws govern you and your company? The answer is murky, but generally all of the above, plus some others.
Nevertheless, Internet service operators must respond to civil and criminal legal requests for data every day. For those subject to multiple legal jurisdictions, it is sometimes impossible to satisfy the laws of countries involved. For those interested and suffering from insomnia, I highly recommend reading the Bank of Nova Scotia case (United States v. Bank of Nova Scotia, 740 F.2d 817 (11th Circuit, 1984).
Mixed with all of these legal and economic issues are elements of international trade, protectionism and economic development. The rise of cloud computing, whose economics have driven massive scale and data consolidation, has exacerbated these concerns about extraterritorial jurisdiction and control worldwide, particularly when U.S. companies dominate cloud computing and many fear the U.S. PATRIOT Act.
Then there are the crucial issues of human rights and free speech. How does one reconcile global communication, which brings differing international norms and expectations for freedom of speech into direct and day-to-day conflict? It is more than an abstract question for millions of Internet users, and one with no simple answers.
One can debate the ethics, human rights records and legitimacy of certain governments, but the sovereignty of nations and their right to establish laws within their territory is an unquestioned aspect of international law. I have seen senior representatives of governments with widely divergent views on freedom of expression all agree that their governments have a critical role to play in Internet governance. Those same representatives differed markedly in their delineation of appropriate governmental roles, their definitions of free speech and its appropriate limitations.
Finally, there are issues of national security, information security and cyberwarfare that are beyond the scope of this essay. In a knowledge economy, information is advantage, and economic or technical disruption via the Internet itself can be a form of low-grade warfare. Likewise, with military capabilities themselves increasingly dependent on smart, network-connected weapons, they are themselves objects of defense and attack.
This interplay of technology, international law, economics and trade, social norms and human rights, and national security is a witch's brew of complexity, with diverse stakeholders and perspectives. Many of them encamped in Dubai at last December's WCIT.
Thus, it is not surprising there was acrimony and controversy, with claims and counterclaims; one could hardly expect otherwise. Central to these debates were concerns, some say unfounded, though others disagree vehemently, that the U.N., via the ITU, might assume greater control of Internet governance, shifting from the multistakeholder model toward greater centralization and government control.Some of this was also tied up in the ITU's own search for new relevance.
What emerged from two weeks of painful negotiations was what can best be described as an uneasy peace. After much debate, 89 of 152 countries signed an amended version of the ITRs. The U.S., Japan, Canada, Germany, India, and the U.K. were not among the signatories, objecting to attempts to curtail multistakeholder governance. In short, it was an ugly mess.
What's next? The global community is strongly divided along ideological lines. Thus, we are likely to see even greater dichotomy in government intervention, more uncertainty in international law, and limits on global information flow. Despite this, I believe the Internet will continue to grow and evolve organically. Too many stakeholders want that to happen, and their voices must be heard.
Thus, I am a strong proponent of the multistakeholder model. I do recognize, though, that governments have an important role to play, just as they do in other domains. This is a messy process, and it will undoubtedly continue that way. Such is the nature of debate.
This year, I again have the honor and privilege to chair the selection committee for the Seymour Cray and Sidney Fernbach awards. I will also be hosting the presentation ceremony at SC12 in Salt Lake City for these two awards, along with the Ken Kennedy award. (My former colleague at the University of Illinois, Professor David Padua, chaired the Kennedy award selection committee.)
These eponymously named awards recognize truly outstanding contributions to high-performance computing, in honor of three leaders of our field. The Seymour Cray award recognizes individuals whose innovative contributions to high performance computing systems best exemplify the creative spirit demonstrated by Seymour Cray. In turn, the Sidney Fernbach award is given to for outstanding contribution in the application of high-performance computers using innovative approaches. Finally, the Ken Kennedy award recognizes outstanding contributions to programmability or productivity in high-performance computing, together with significant community service or mentoring contributions.
I am delighted that the 2012 Seymour Cray Award will be presented to Peter Kogge, who is currently a professor at the University of Notre Dame. Early in his career, Peter developed parallel algorithms for recurrence solutions and parallel prefix operations, resulting in what is now known as the Kogge-Stone adder, the gold standard for fast addition. While at IBM, he also developed a series of HPC systems for military and space applications, including some that were key elements of the U.S. space shuttle. For many people, that would define a career. However, Peter has also been a pioneer in multicore and multithreaded processor design; he was also one of the creators of what we now call "Processor in Memory" (PIM) computing. Today, he is a leader in exascale initiatives.
I am equally pleased that Professors Laxmikant "Sanjay" Kale and Klaus Schulten, developers of the NAMD biomolecular simulation software, are joint recipients of the 2012 Sidney Fernbach Award. Their collaboration combines the best of computer science and computational science. Utilizing Kale's insights in fine grained parallelism and load balancing, embodied in the CHARM++ library, and Schulten's insights into biophysics, NAMD transformed high-speed molecular dynamics simulations, allowing the motions of large biological systems to be simulated for longer periods of biological time than were previously feasible.
The third of these awards, the Ken Kennedy award, recognizes Professor Mary Lou Soffa for "contributions to compiler technology and software engineering, exemplary service to the profession, and lifelong dedication to mentoring and improving diversity in computing." As the award citation notes, her work spans optimizing compilers and software engineering. Among her many contributions are key insights into quantifying the value of code optimizations within a coherent framework and on register optimization. In addition to seminal contributions to compiler technology, Professor Soffa has also been instrumental in mentoring women in computing and raising awareness of the need for our culture to be more inclusive and supportive.
My thanks to Satoshi Matsuoka for the photographs of the plenary program award presentations.
Over the past year, I have been ruminating the seismic shifts rocking public higher education in the United States. The compact between our society and its public research universities is being renegotiated in ways that are as deep as anything seen in the past forty years. State support continues to decline, accelerated by the economic downturn. In turn, a public backlash is building against rising tuition. There is an increasing need for lifelong learning and skills refresh, and new technologies are challenging historical modes of content delivery.
There are also new expectations for research discoveries to stimulate innovation, coupled with often-unrealistic hopes for short-term economic payoffs from basic research. Amidst all of this, globalization and rapid technology shifts are forcing us to address complex societal issues in new ways. Finally, the nature of scientific discovery itself is in flux, with high-performance computing and big data reshaping research in the physical, biological and social sciences, and even in the arts and humanities.
Late last year I decided it was time to return to academia, taking what I have learned at Microsoft back to the university and laboratory world to help address these challenges. Since that time, I have been working quietly to ensure a smooth transition within Microsoft and working with the leadership of several universities and institutions to define the roles I would take on this fall.
Our personal and professional lives are defined by a series of inflection points – graduation, marriage, career choices – shaped by shifting technology and societal norms. Each of us also faces the age-old question. How and where can each of us most make a difference in addressing the big issues and the complex problems surrounding them? How do we build on our experiences while also challenging ourselves to learn new things?
Before I came to Microsoft in late 2007, for me it was nearly twenty-five years of academic roles at the University of Illinois and the University of North Carolina, first as a computer science professor, then department head, supercomputing center director (NCSA), founder of a multidisciplinary research center (RENCI), and finally as a vice-chancellor. Where and how could I best build on that experience, plus insights gained at Microsoft? Was it technology or policy centric, or some combination of both?
After weighing several university offers, spanning big data, HPC and policy, I am delighted to be returning to the Midwest. In October, I will be joining the University of Iowa as Vice President for Research and Economic Development and holder of Iowa's inaugural University Computational Science and Bioinformatics Chair, with joint appointments in Computer Science, Electrical and Computing Engineering and Medicine. For details on this, see the University of Iowa announcement.
Many things attracted me to Iowa. First, it is one of this country's great public universities, spanning, as all great universities do, the arts and humanities, science and engineering and associated professional schools. The university is also home to the famed Iowa Writers Workshop, something the aspiring writer in me prizes greatly. It also has a large and highly ranked health care system and a great medical school. (More on that research opportunity in a bit.)
Finally, the University of Iowa is anchored in the Big Ten, where I spent most of my academic career (Illinois) and time in graduate school (Purdue). Yes, it is football season in the U.S., but the Big Ten is more than an athletic conference. The Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), which consists of the Big Ten schools plus the University of Chicago, is a collaborative vehicle for shaping national higher education policy and helping define the future on research issues ranging from institutional data repositories to intellectual property management.
In addition to my role in the university leadership team, as my new title suggests, I will also be delving into computational science and big data, helping the campus address research opportunities and health care futures. It is no secret that the rising cost of health care in the United States, coupled with an aging population and the not yet fully realized potential of personalized medicine, are both challenges and major opportunities. In that spirit, I am delighted that the chair of the University of Washington Department of Anesthesiology, Dr. Debra Schwinn, is joining Iowa as the new Dean of the Carver School of Medicine. I am looking forward to working with her and the rest of the campus.
Whether identifying predictive patterns from clinical records (e.g., predictors of hospital readmission), correlating and extracting insights from massive amounts of new bioinformatics data, or leveraging new sensors and devices for disease and lifestyle monitoring, large-scale data analysis and machine learning are crucial. Likewise, multidisciplinary computational models of biological processes with predictive power are now realizable. Simply put, these are big data and technical computing problems par excellence.
Finally, I will also be keeping my hand in high-performance computing and national policy. I will be spending time in Washington, DC, as a consultant, focusing on issues related to big data and exascale computing.
For me, all of this is very exciting. It is a new adventure and an opportunity to help define higher education in the 21st century. As Theodore Roosevelt said, it is an opportunity to "dare mighty things," working together.
I want to express my deep thanks to Craig Mundie, Rick Rashid and a host of friends at Microsoft for a great five years. When I first joined Microsoft Research, it was to work on new technical approaches to cloud computing hardware, software and applications, drawing on ideas from technical computing. Seeing the scale and scope of truly large-scale infrastructure, far larger than our research high-performance computing systems, was amazing. That eXtreme Computing Group (XCG) activity later morphed into an equally exciting technology policy agenda that has spanned topics as diverse as the application of clouds to scientific and engineering research through telecommunications to Internet governance and digital privacy.
My time at Microsoft has been a truly wonderful experience, working on important problems with talented and passionate people. I have made new friends, built new relationships and learned an incredible amount.
Last week, I have the privilege to participate in the B20 meetings in Los Cabos, a prelude to the G20 economic summit. For those of you who do not know, the B20 is a meeting of international CEOs who gather to discuss economic issues and provide suggestions to the G20 leaders. I was there representing Microsoft and substituting for Steve Ballmer.
The B20 has several working groups, including food security, green growth, trade and investment, and ICT and innovation. I co-chaired the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and Innovation group, along with Carlos Slim Domit. (Carlos is the son of Carlos Slim Helú, the world's richest man. Yes, I know names are a bit confusing, but it follows naming tradition.) I have also served with Carlos Slim Helú on the United Nations Broadband Commission. I will return to this topic in a bit.
The B20 meeting opened with a plenary presentation by the Mexican President, Felipe Calderón, who was also chair of this year's G20 meeting. The President gave a rousing speech advocating free trade and the economic benefits. This was followed by a rather sobering panel conversation with Christine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund, Bob Zoellick, head of the World Bank, and Angel Gurria, secretary general of the OECD.
Not surprisingly, the Eurozone crisis and the then ongoing Greek elections dominated conversation. The frustration and near despair was palpable, with Gurria noting that fiscal union without effective governance was the root of the problem. I found myself thinking that this as an old story. After all, the U.S. fought a civil war to resolve, among other issues, the relative power of states and the Federal government. In any case, there were repeated pleas for strong and consistent action the resolve the financial crisis permanently, but limited faith that would happen.
The spirit of the conversation was captured succinctly in an exchange with a B20 delegate from Africa, who rose to ask why the conversation was dominated by European concerns. It was a quite reasonable and appropriate question at a global economic panel. Each of the panelists smiled wryly and said, in their own words, "In this context, no mention is good news."
My takeaway is that the global economic situation is not going to get better any time soon. The Chinese economy is clearly slowing, the Eurozone crisis seems endless, and the U.S. situation is tenuous at best.
As I mentioned at the outset, I co-chaired the B20 ICT and Innovation task force. The core recommendations focused on broadband access and digital inclusion, with four main pillars, and they were presented in a panel discussion, with comments from the Chilean President, Sebastián Piñera.
Over the past six months, have I had several opportunities to have small group conversations with President Calderón. I have been impressed by his sincerity and commitment to collaboration and open government. It will be interesting to see what happens to Mexican policies after the Mexican President elections in a few months.
As one would expect, there was intense security around the leaders. From this event, my earlier participation in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APAC) meeting and visits to the White House, I have come to realize that security details for senior government officials all look very similar. There are dark suits, the subtle but clear bulges of weapons, and the constantly searching gazes.
Finally, the gala events provided an opportunity mingle and discuss politics, economics and policy with a diverse and interesting group. There are not many places where one can first discuss social inclusion with a Peruvian cabinet minister, then join a dinner conversation with the South African ambassador and two CEOs. In addition, of course, there are the obligatory photographs of me in a guayabera.
Today, in Cambridge, UK, we celebrated the ten months of experiences and successes from the Cambridge white spaces trial, which was organized by a consortium of companies, including Microsoft. The event brought together telecom regulators from around the world, hardware, software and content providers and interested parties to discuss the potential and the reality of dynamic spectrum management. The "white spaces" – the unused channels in the TV bands at each location – can be used for wireless communication as long as there is no interference with the primary (television broadcast) usage.
This white spaces spectrum is particularly valuable due to its signal propagation characteristics. Sometimes called "Super Wi-Fi," it can provide broad wireless coverage with relatively few access points, for rural areas that are often digitally disenfranchised, for machine-to-machine communication that can enable smart grids, smart cities and intelligent transportation systems, and for mobile data traffic offload in urban areas.
White spaces use has been approved by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and approval by the U.K. regulator (Ofcom) is near. Other regional and national bodies are also moving forward. In this spirit, today, we also announced formation of a new consortium to launch a new trial in Singapore. Details on all of this can be found on the Microsoft on the Issues blog, where I wrote about Broadband White Spaces – Ready to Go Global. For more details and news coverage, type the words, "white spaces" and "Cambridge" into your favorite search engine.
Two weeks ago, I attended the 20th anniversary celebration for the U.S. Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) program. The celebration began with a dinner and continued with a daylong program at the Newseum in Washington, DC. It is hard to believe is has been over twenty years since the High-Performance Computing and Communications Act of 1991 inaugurated the High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) program.
In hindsight, it seems obvious that elevating the profile of computing and networking and coordinating activities across the research arms of the Federal government was a great idea. It was far less obvious at the time, as former Vice-President Al Gore reminded us during an anecdote-filled lunchtime reminiscence. There were several hearings over multiple years, with many doubters.
Yet only two years later, the Mosaic web browser was born at NCSA at the University of Illinois, helping birth the Internet revolution and the original dot.com boom. Some of you may not know that Mosaic was intended as a collaboration tool, itself the successor to another NCSA collaboration tool called Collage. Anyone see a naming pattern there? It was all about bringing people together who were otherwise separated by time and space.
At the time of Mosaic's release, NCSA was an anchor site of the NSFNet, the nascent backbone of the Internet we know today. Given the popularity of Mosaic and the fact that NCSA's web site was Mosaic's default home page, the NCSA site, hosted by NCSA HTTPd, was the world's busiest. (Bob McGrath, Thomas Kwan and I wrote an early paper on web traffic analysis, and Will Scullin, Steve Lamm and I developed some real-time traffic visualization tools for the CAVE.)
It was also a time when Illinois undergraduates were asking me if a $250K signing bonus was too small, and the startup mantra was "get big fast," focusing on number of page clicks and customers. Eventually the old economics – the one based on profits – demanded its due, and the crazier startup ideas died. For the record, selling dog food (a low cost, high weight item for shipment) on the Internet may not have been the best business plan, though a few succeeded. More rational business models emerged, today it is hard to imagine the world without e-commerce.
As the NITRD celebration, I was reflecting on all of this, as well as digesting the technical content of the presentations, which spanned topics as diverse as computational science, the economic impact of computing and the rise of big data. It was in this context that I posed a question to the final panel, a question grounded in the ever-rising importance of information technology and innovation to global economic competitiveness: What national research strategy should we pursue in light of the coordination now present in other parts of the world?
The question was really about whether the HPCC initiative, with all of its economic, scientific and cultural benefits, was a singular event or something replicable in today's political environment. It was a bit of a rhetorical question, but one that seemed appropriate to frame the celebration's context. The unflappable and always thoughtful Chuck Vest gamely responded with some thoughtful observations on the importance of educational investment for the future.
Former Vice-President Gore didn't invent the Internet, but fully deserves all the fulsome praise he has received for raising the issues and helping creating the conditions that let it grow and flourish. Musing on this and the NITRD discussion, I found myself thinking about another Illinois story, one that captures the tumultuous change of another century and the singular contributions of another individual.
It's the story of Daniel Burnham and the birth of modern Chicago. Daniel Burnham didn't invent Chicago, but he might as well have, for it bears his indelible stamp. He one of the driving forces behind the 1892 Columbian Exposition, which celebrated the 400th anniversary of Columbus' arrival in the Americas. The Columbian Exposition and the "White City" was Chicago's coming of age party, elevating Chicago in stature as one of the world's great cities. Mind you, this was a mere twenty years after the Great Chicago Fire, which had destroyed much of the city.
One element of the story has Burnham standing on the shore of Lake Michigan on a cold, winter day, pointing into the distance and describing the buildings and the city that would rise from the windy desolation. A visiting architect turns to Burnham and asks, "How can this be?" To which Burnham is reputed to have replied, "It is already decided." And so it was.
The anecdote is probably apocryphal, but the vision and the outcome were decidedly not. As Burnham himself wrote,
Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency.
It's the emotion Carl Sandburg also captured in his Chicago poem about Chicago as the tool maker, stacker of wheat and player with railroads, the city of big shoulders. It was the spirit of a city and a young nation, confident and excited about the future. It's the same spirit we all felt in 1991 at the beginning of the HPCC program and then in the web revolution.
As we look to the future, I believe Burnham was right. It's time to make big plans, defining a truly compelling research and education strategy for the 21st century knowledge economy, one that inspires and compels us all to action. We need not be riven by doubts and troubled by today's financial research malaise. There is another way, one that rebuilds our research institutions, empowers our citizens and creates new opportunities for all. Amazing and transformational things are within reach.
How can this be? The lessons of NITRD and Burnham's Chicago point the way, working together.
In these challenging economic times, U.S. universities are under great stress – economically, politically and socially. Cash-strapped states are reducing appropriations for public universities, and those private universities fortunate enough to possess substantial endowments are managing them with a frugal eye on an uncertain economy. To compensate, tuition is rising rapidly, and the chase for already constrained Federal research funding is increasingly frenetic.
Unfortunately, increasing numbers of students are leaving (degreed or not) with substantial loan debt and – in this economy – with rather bleak employment prospects. The rising cost of higher education, coupled with uncertain employment options, is deeply troubling to parents and students, as well as faculty members and university leaders.
What does all this mean? Public and private institutions alike are now caught between their straitened economics and their historical roles. In a rapidly shifting knowledge economy, it has never been more important to educate a new generation of students, advance the frontiers of knowledge, foster economic development and facilitate debate on important societal issues.
It is tempting for those of us in computing to ignore these issues. After all, our field is booming, with stunning advances in both computing theory and practice. We face a shortfall of qualified graduates, the competition for experienced and qualified practitioners is intense, and there are many interesting and well-remunerated jobs. (For detailed data, see the Computing Research Association (CRA) workforce data analysis.)
Yes, we should celebrate these happy facts, but I believe we must also consider our social obligation to help address today's university challenges, for we are the beneficiaries of past actions. In that spirit, it is worthwhile to consider another time when American society renegotiated its compact with higher education, triggered by social and economic upheaval.
The Morrill Act of 1862 granted each state 30,000 acres of public land. Proceeds from the land sales were to be invested in an endowment to support colleges of agriculture and mechanical arts in each of the states. For the first time, practical training became a major focus of U.S. higher education.
These "land grant" institutions brought modern engineering and agricultural methods to a still largely rural and agrarian, though rapidly industrializing society. Nor were they simply outposts of erudition, with agricultural experiment stations and extension services, they quite literally took new ideas and technology to the farmer's field.
What are the "agricultural and mechanical" arts of the 21st century knowledge economy? What transformative force is driving economic and social change? The answer to both questions seems rather obvious – it is computing, both its enabling technology and its myriad applications.
Our universities are struggling to respond and adapt to a rapidly shifting environment, with new social demands and heightened economic pressures. How do we help them respond more nimbly to societal needs for education and skills, economic development and job creation? How can we best use computing to expand access to higher education? How can we reduce costs and provide just-in-time lifelong education when the inevitable technical dislocation and job losses occur? How can we accelerate discovery and innovation?
I do not know the answers, or even all the questions. However, like agriculture and engineering before us, computing has a social responsibility to be an active and enthusiastic partner in helping chart the nature of higher education and its evolving compact with society. It is, I believe, a responsibility we have not fully shouldered to this point.
We have the skills, insights and expertise. We can plant the seeds of the future.
