Celiac FactsPosted on May 5th, 2008 by Alison Comments Off on Celiac Facts
Did you know?
• Celiac Disease is the most common genetic disorder in the world. It affects as many as 3 million Americans, or roughly 1% of the population.
• Type 1 Diabetes affects 1,177,500 people; 6% (70,650) of those diagnosed also have celiac disease.
• 610,000 women in the US experience unexplained infertility; 6% (36,600) of these women might never learn that celiac disease is the cause.
• 350,000 people in the United States are living with Down Syndrome; 12% (42,000) of them also have celiac disease.
• The number of people with celiac disease in the U.S. is roughly equal to the number of people living in the state of Nevada.
• The National Commission on Digestive Diseases (NCDD) recently noted that physicians and medical staff members are unaware of the how common celiac disease is or what symptoms to look for. One of the Commission's goals is to "improve screening, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of celiac disease."
What can you do?
May has been designated National Celiac Awareness Month by the Celiac Disease Foundation, and a bill is up for a vote that asks Congress to support the goals and ideals of National Celiac Awareness Month.
The American Celiac Disease Alliance (the group responsible for getting Congress to require food labeling of allergens) has issued an action alert: share the facts above with the legislators in Congress. Raising awareness of celiac disease can lead to increased physician education and training. This goal and the bill are supported by the American Gastroenterology Association, American College of Gastroenterology, American Dietetic Association, and the American Osteopathic Association.
All you have to do is click this link, fill out the form and either email or mail the letter. Together we can really make a statement!
I am grateful to the American Celiac Disease Alliance for all their work!

Liz Mullen of SportsBusiness Journal reports that Geno Smith, the 39th overall pick in the draft, has parted ways with his agents at Select Sports Group. After the five-day waiting period expires, Smith will be free to hire new representation.
Upon hearing the news, we assumed that the agents hadn't properly prepared Smith for the possibility that he wouldn't be selected in the first round. Given that the most important job for any agent in the weeks preceding the draft is to properly set the client's expectations, failure to hammer into Smith's head the chance that he'll spend all of Thursday night in the green room at Radio City Music Hall would be enough to prompt a change.
But that's not what happened, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News. Per Mehta, Smith fired his agents because he believed he "would be and should be" the first overall pick in the draft. Surely, the agents weren't telling Smith he would be the first pick in the draft.
If that's what Smith believed, he either didn't listen to his agents, or he chose to listen to someone else more. (Smith has since told SiriusXM NFL Radio that the decision had nothing to do with the draft process. He declined to elaborate.)

Christmas Gift Idea: Charli Lace Hat
Hello! I've been posting more on Instagram lately as it's easier to snap a photo and go when you're busy with a baby all day. I must be taking a lot of pictures because she'll recognize the sound of my phone's camera and smile! She's been really interested in different sounds lately and loves to investigate.
Pull up a cup of ☕ and sit down with this lovely 1 skein hat pattern! This week's featured gift suggestion is my Charli Lace Hat and it's on sale until Friday for only $3. It's somewhere in between a slouchy hat and a beanie so it's an easy style to wear.
Are you ready to get started? Well there's no time like the present 😉

Oh and last but not least, here's a perfectly pinnable collage to share 📌

Baby Colorfulpurls, and 2 new crochet patterns!
Hi everyone! I hope you all are well!! I've been very busy with my darling little baby who's growing so quickly. She's so silly and fun, always learning and babbling ❤
Right now I don't have much free time to design, but I have quite a few ideas when I find the the time 😊
She enjoys making silly faces for selfies already! What have I done? Haha.
I've had 2 crochet patterns published this year in Quick Crocheted Accessories by Sharon Zientara
First off is my Floret Cloche. From the book "This fun-to-stitch hat gets its unique construction from one of designer
Jessica Bolof's first crochet projects: a dishcloth pattern her great aunt
Dolores loved to make by the dozen to give away as gifts. Since only a
wee bit of the contrasting colors of yarn is used to create the flower, you could easily make several hats by simply rotating the color that's used for the main body and the embellishments."
Second is my Enmeshed Cowl from the book "This luxurious cowl works up quickly in alternating columns of double, triple, and half double crochet separated by triple crochet sections. This project actually uses less than one skein of yarn, so you could easily lengthen the cowl to suit your taste."
I hope you get a chance to check out the book, there's so many great designs to crochet! It can be found at most yarn shops, major retailers and on Amazon. Baby woke from her nap and is ready to play so that's all for today!

No one knows for sure how the next few phases of ACA implementation will go. Democrats' hopes that their fortunes will improve as a result of upcoming fiscal debates are starting to look pretty shaky, however. Democrats may be counting on Republicans to engage in more self-destructive behavior when government funding expires in mid-January and the debt ceiling expires in February.
But it looks increasingly likely that Republicans will go along with a deal, averting a spending/debt-ceiling crisis, and not repeat the disaster of this fall. Avoiding such a fight would keep most of the public's focus on Obamacare, and, in Republicans' eyes, give them the gift that will keep on giving. At this point, that doesn't appear to be an unrealistic expectation.
But what will happen next? A jaded observer might suggest that certain Senate Democrats may try to move the goalposts of a budget deal, pushing for additional Republican concessions to the point that House Speaker John Boehner can't deliver enough of the hard-liners in his caucus, thus creating a repeat of last fall's showdown. Of course, that is a highly cynical view, but it does not seem implausible that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid might try such a strategy. The catch is whether Democrats could potentially sabotage a budget deal without leaving any incriminating fingerprints. The cynics might be wrong but, then again, Reid has six Senate seats up next year in states that Mitt Romney carried by double-digit margins. We'll see.

Bargain signings strengthen City hopes
City enter their fourth season at Eastlands with manager Stuart Pearce fighting to rescue a reputation that fell by the wayside towards the end of the 2005/6 season.
But any chance of the former 'Psycho' doing a Jurgen Klinsmann surely faded with his team's fortunes in the Premiership and after defeat in the FA Cup quarter-finals to West Ham. Pearce's side eventually finished 15th - a worse position than Kevin Keegan had left the club in March 2005.
Pearce's mix of youth and experience had just not been deep enough. An injury to Andy Cole robbed City of their most potent attacking threat. As well as his 9 goals in 20 starts, the former United man's ability to hold up the ball and distribute to team-mates were sorely missed after injury ended his season in February.
With him seemingly went hopes of a place in Europe; the stated aim before every City season in the top flight since European football began.
With 2006/7 being no exception it seems if the words of new captain Richard Dunne are to be believed. On his appointment in succession to the unsettled Sylvain Distin, the Irishman, whose road to Damascus seems complete just a few years after being sent home from training for being inebriated, said: 'Hopefully I will be captain of a successful team. Maybe we can start picking up and qualifying for Europe. That would be a good start.'
Dunne used the platitudes many a City man has used down the years. And it would be something of a surprise were the Laser Blue to be running out in the UEFA Cup come 2007.
The cash problems caused in part by the financial profligacy of the Keegan era has meant Pearce continues to have to build a side from the bargain bins along with some of the players coming through from a thriving youth set-up. Pearce perhaps blew his transfer budget on Greek striker Giorgios Samaras in January, a move which still failed to fill the Cole hole.
The summer has further added to the strike force with the free signing of former Italian international Bernardo Corradi from Valencia. The bustling 30-year-old's career had stalled in Spain after joining Claudio Ranieri in the former Chelsea boss' ill-fated return to the Mestalla. As recently as Euro 2004 was Corradi in the reckoning for the Azzurri though recent events will have made him a forgotten man in his home country.
And he faces a fight to be first-choice at City too. Cole's veteran status is unlikely to count against him while his partnership with Darius Vassell paid dividends early in the season. Vassell's ability to play out wide may yet see him play on the flanks, with the unlamented Kiki Musampa having been released in the summer.
Additional men to be thrown into the attacking mix are Antoine Sibierski, perhaps surprisingly still at the club, and Trevor Sinclair, for whom the same is also true, though few clubs would touch a player with such a questionable injury record. And his status as an avowed Blue means the man himself will be making little effort to quit the club.
Pearce has put good use to the free transfer market over the summer, though one of his free signings was not exactly gratis. Dietmar Hamann, barely a season ago, was changing the face of the 2005 European Cup Final as a half-time substitute. Then he became involved in one of the summer's strangest transfer sagas, eventually ending up at City having already agreed to join Bolton before the World Cup.
A combination of £300,000 and Sam Allardyce's previously good relationship with Pearce means he will take his place in midfield alongside Joey Barton, who himself ended a long-running saga by putting pen to paper on a new City contract, having become embroiled in a bitter dispute during the last transfer window. How well disposed the Eastlands' faithful will be to the scouse tyro is a matter yet to be decided.
And, as well as Dunne's consistency, here Pearce can call on some jewels from the club's youth system. Stephen Jordan began to impress at left-back in the absence of Ben Thatcher and Nedum Onuha kept former England international Danny Mills out of the other full-back position until injury struck. Though the undoubted star find was Micah Richards.
That Richards was mentioned as a potential replacement for Sol Campbell at Highbury shows the impact the youngster made after breaking into the team in a post-New Year injury crisis. His winning goal in the FA Cup against Aston Villa brought him to national attention but by then City fans had become acquainted with his powerful defensive displays.
His signing of a new deal made Pearce's promising summer in the transfer market all the better. City are hoping that if he does move on in the future then they can expect a figure of the size that Shaun Wright-Phillips commanded in his ill-fated move to Chelsea. Hopes of landing the erstwhile winger on a loan deal have ebbed away and he will definitely not be rejoining his brother Bradley, who has dropped down a division to Southampton.
Both Pearce and Dunne have an optimism about the squad that is shared by the club's ever-optimistic fans. Being unbeaten against United, who have a bad record at their blue cousins' new stadium, may have helped to steady the waverers amid a woeful end of season. Europe may seem hard to achieve but mid-season respectability and a couple of good runs look possible.
It seems highly unlikely that chairman John Wardle would want to emulate the revolving door policy of 80s wig-wearing overlord Peter J Swales but Pearce must hope that his team get off to a start decent enough to wash away the ills of last season's late period listlessness.

Man crashes 40 feet down embankment, arrested for DUII
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. -- Springfield Police say a man was drunk when he crashed through a guard rail near the intersection of Mohawk Blvd. and Highway 126 late Saturday night. His car went nearly 40 feet down an embankment and into a culvert, police officials said.
One of the passengers riding with Jaywant Prakash, 30, of Springfield was seriously injured in the crash. According to Springfield Sgt. Richard Lewis other people riding in the car sought medical attention as well.
The crash happened at around 11:50 p.m. Saturday when police say Prakash took the Mohawk Blvd. exit of Highway 126 at a very high rate of speed. Prakash's car crashed through a guardrail at the east side of the intersection, went about 40 feet down an embankment and landed in the culvert below the roadway, partially submerging the car in water.
Responding fire crews reported extracting one of the passengers, who was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
Prakash was treated for minor injuries before being booked at the Lane County Jail for DUII, four counts of reckless endangering reckless driving and two counts of assault III.
If anyone has any additional information or witnessed the accident they are asked to call the Springfield Police Department at 541-726-3714 and speak with DUII Officer Tom Speldrich.
A total of three DUII arrests were made by Springfield Police Officers on Saturday evening/Sunday morning.

Gaza Update: Some Foreign Nationals Allowed to Flee, Leaving Family Behind
Update: News just coming in:
The Israel Defense Forces Saturday launched an air strike on a mosque in northern Gaza, killing 11 people and wounding 50 others, a Palestinian source told Xinhua.
On Friday, Israel allowed a few hundred Gaza residents who hold foreign passports to leave the Gaza Strip. They brought with them reports of the conditions currently faced by those left behind:
The evacuees told of crippling shortages of water, electricity and medicine, echoing a U.N. warning of a deepening humanitarian crisis in the besieged Gaza Strip in the seven-day-old Israeli campaign.
The U.N. estimates at least a quarter of the 400 Palestinians killed by Israeli airstrikes on Hamas militants were civilians.
Jawaher Hajji, a 14-year-old U.S. citizen who was allowed to cross into Israel, said her uncle was one of them — killed while trying to pick up some medicine for her cancer-stricken father. She said her father later died of his illness.
"They are supposed to destroy just the Hamas, but people in their homes are dying too," Hajji, who has relatives in Virginia, said at the Erez border crossing between Gaza and Israel.
The women, dragging confused, frightened children, had to leave behind Palestinian husbands and fathers denied permission to leave by Israel. Anastasia Gabir, 33, a pregnant mother wearing an Islamic head scarf and towing a small daughter, said: "It has been horribly hard the past week. They bombed near our house, hitting another house and a police station. The kids were very scared." Her daughter screamed as an Israeli artillery unit fired a salvo of shells into Gaza.
Karolina Katba, 15, was leaving with her mother and sister to stay with relatives in Volgograd. She was worried about her father, a Palestinian pharmacist in Gaza City. "I didn't say goodbye to him because I was crying too much," she said.
As of midnight PST, 425 Palestinians had been killed, and approximately 2,000 wounded.
One missile killed three Palestinian children aged between eight and 12 as they played on a street near the town of Khan Yunis. One was decapitated.
Madth Gilbert, a Norwegian doctor at Gaza's Shifa hospital who could not save a boy who had both feet blown off said: "This is a murder. This is a child."
Israel continues to block access to Gaza by international journalists. Perhaps Israel is afraid that if they actually saw and reported on conditions in Gaza, their reports might be similar to those of Amira Haas from Ha'aretz. Greg Mitchell at Editor and Publisher points to one of her recent columns:
This is not the time to speak of proportional responses, not even of the polls that promise a greater share of Knesset seats to the mission's architects. This is, however, the time to speak of the voters' belief the operation will succeed, that the strikes are precise and the targets justified.
Take, for example, Imad Aqel Mosque in Jabalya refugee camp, bombed and strafed shortly before midnight on Sunday. These are the names of the glorious military victory we achieved there – Jawaher, age 4; Dina, age 8; Sahar, age 12; Ikram, age 14; and Tahrir, age 17, all sisters of the Ba'lousha family, all killed in a "precise" strike on the mosque. Another three sisters, a 2-year-old brother and their parents were injured. Twenty-four neighbors were wounded and five homes and three stores destroyed. This part of the military victory did not open our television or radio news broadcasts yesterday morning, nor did they appear on many Israeli news Web sites.
This is the time to speak about the detailed maps in the hands of IDF commanders, and about the Shin Bet advisers who know the exact distance between the mosque and nearby homes. This is the time to discuss the drone planes and the hot air balloons fitted with advanced cameras floating over the Strip day and night, filming everything.
This is the time to rely on legal advisers studying the operation to find the right phrasing to justify "collateral damage." Time to praise Foreign Ministry spokespeople who in their polished language, with their elegant South African or charmant Parisien accents, say it is the fault of Hamas, which uses neighborhood mosques for its own purposes.

The Graduate
Jul 27 - Aug 02, 2012
(Mike Nichols, USA, 1967, 35mm, 106 min)
New 35mm print!
45th Anniversary!
"Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me…aren't you?" Glamorous, sexy (coo, coo ca-choo, indeed) and sad, The Graduate is an emotional touchstone for an entire generation. Dustin Hoffman stars as Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate in search of a little direction in his life. He soon finds himself having an affair with the wife of his father's partner, Mrs. Robinson (the fabulous Anne Bancroft). Things get even more complicated when he falls for her daughter (Katherine Ross). The film darkly and humorously captures both the restlessness and ennui of the era. Be on the lookout for screenwriter Buck Henry's hilarious cameo as a hotel desk clerk. With memorable direction by Mike Nichols, a script by Buck Henry and legendary score by Simon and Garfunkel, The Graduate remains a glorious classic of the American screen.
"The funniest American comedy of the year... Hoffman is so painfully awkward and ethical that we are forced to admit we would act pretty much as he does, even in his most extreme moments. Bancroft, in a tricky role, is magnificently sexy, shrewish, and self-possessed enough to make the seduction convincing... Benjamin's acute honesty and embarrassment are so accurately drawn that we hardly know whether to laugh or to look inside ourselves."–Roger Ebert
"Dear anyone who's never seen The Graduate: What the f**k is wrong with you?...It's a bittersweet comedy that's never been topped." -The Stranger

In proposing to hold a national vote on changing the definition of marriage, the Turnbull government is embarking on a course of action rarely used by the Commonwealth.
Changing the definition of marriage is entirely within the power of Parliament to do. The vote will not decide the definition of marriage as Parliament would still have to legislate if the nation votes yes.
The parliament can also ignore the result of the vote. A yes vote could be followed by the parliament not legislating, and the Parliament could later change the definition of marriage even if the public votes no.
But while votes on policy issues are rare at the Commonwealth level, they have been used more frequently at state level.

Enfamil is offering a coupon for free formula. You can choose from one of three different formulas: Nutramigen Lipil, which claims to resolve colic symptoms often within 48 hours, Enfamil Gentlease Lipil, which has easy to digest proteins, and Enfamil A.R. Lipil, which is thicken with rice starch to reduce spit up.
To get your free formula, print out your coupon and bring it to your pediatrician's office, where they will redeem the coupon for your free formula. The office will then present you with your recommended choice from the three offers.
This brings up some other ways to obtain free formula. For example, you can also use this coupon opportunity to ask the office for other samples. Pediatrician's offices are bombarded with formula, since every company wants them to recommend their brand.
Hospitals are another good source of free formula. Many will send you home with cases of formula, if you ask. Again, they usually get it free from the formula companies.
Other ways to score some free formula include asking friends and co-workers. You may find moms who overbought their formula, and would be happy to give it away rather than throw it away.
Although I'm an exclusively breastfeeding mom, I am still inundated with formula samples, cans of powdered formula and liquid formula, and tons of formula checks. Although I have never signed up for a formula offer, the formula companies found me anyway. I have given all of this formula, in its various forms, away to friends who use the various brands. Maybe they got my name from the hospital?
Just to be sure that you will get free formula direct from the companies, sign up for those formula mailing lists. That is the best way to get the checks and offers in the mail.
Finally, you may be eligible for free formula from the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program. You can check the website for income requirements and information about applying to the program.
Here are the links:

Sell a Dental Practice
Timing is everything, even in Dentistry.
Your practice is a valuable asset and can augment your retirement plan. To sell your practice successfully, the best advice is: plan early so that you can control the end result. If a personal crisis such as divorce, disability, or an IRS judgment dictates the sale, the risk of lost revenue is far greater versus when the dentist has planned the when and how of the transaction.
Right now, it's a sellers' market!
Dental practices throughout the Northwest, including Washington, Oregon, and Idaho have been selling at a premium. This is a direct result of supply and demand. There are a number of reasons for this trend:
There are more graduates than retirees.
Interest rates have been low, and lenders are willing to loan money to dentists.
The Northwest is a desirable place to live! More and more young dentists are moving here to raise their families and live the good life.
Dentists who sell a practice now, or soon, are in a position to set the asking price. They can be in control of the sale of their life's work.
What will the future bring?
Several factors indicate that soon the tide will turn, and we will revert to a buyers' market:
The Baby Boomers are reaching retirement: an estimated 50,000 dentists will be retiring in the next 10 years.
Estimated 46,000 dentists will be graduating from dental school. Leaving a shortfall of 4000 new dentists.
Faced with the worst economy since the Depression and retirement plans losing 30-40% of their value in the last year or two, many dentists who expected to retire now are holding off until the economy recovers.
This new paradigm will mean buyers will be able to peruse through a multitude of dental practices for sale. Buyers will be able to choose from a larger number of options, putting the buyer in a position to dictate the sales price.
The future is not good for sellers unless they either transition sooner than later or put a long-term plan in place to prepare their dental practice for sale.

The Victorian government faces a fight as it tries to intervene in court action by the builder
The action in the Victorian Supreme Court alleges that the CFMEU and its officials engaged in secondary boycotts at two of its big projects in the Melbourne central business district in April this year, hindering work on the Myer Emporium project and another known as 150 Collins Street.
In Grocon's court documents tendered in support of its case, the company alleges CFMEU organisers used their cars to block vehicles from suppliers to Grocon sites.
In court on Tuesday the state Attorney-General
Counsel for the CFMEU, Peter Morrissey, SC, indicated the union would oppose the joining of the state to the action particularly in the period relating to the establishment of a contempt which would be the precursor to any hearings on penalties.
"There is no basis for the Attorney to join the liability phase at all," he said.
Mr Morrissey said the union should not have to face two well-resourced opponents unless that was necessary.
Counsel for the government, Stuart Wood, SC, flagged a concern that if the underlying industrial dispute, which is over the appointment of safety officers on Grocon sites, was settled then the case could also be settled.
Justice Anthony Cavanough said the case could now not be discontinued without the government's consent.
He asked the parties to attend a hearing later this year to put their cases on the issue.
The development follows the Supreme Court court last week finding that the CFMEU was in contempt of court multiple times over illegal blockades of Grocon projects in 2012. Hearings to determine the penalties for those contempts will be held later this year.
Last year, the court issued injunctions ordering the CFMEU not to hinder access to the projects, over union protests relating to the election of safety representatives. But the union blockaded the Emporium project and another site in Footscray in last August and September. Grocon argued that its own workers had not joined the blockade and had wanted to work.
In March, the building supply company, Boral, was granted an injunction stopping the CFMEU organising or threatening to organise secondary boycotts against projects that bought concrete from Boral. The court heard that the alleged boycotts were in response to Boral being a long term supplier to Grocon.
However, Grocon is itself being investigated over the death of a crane driver on the emporium project this year. It also faces multiple investigations over a wall collapse in central Melbourne which killed three pedestrians, which will includes inquiries by the Victoria police for the state coroner.
The Victorian secretary of the CFMEU,
Grocon chief executive
"The court has seen the union's threatening and lawless behaviour on Melbourne's streets for what it was," he said.
"The CFMEU should now understand they are not above the law and that the intimidation of an entire workforce to achieve their political objectives has no place in modern society."

Anyone who has spent time studying American popular music knows the oversized shadow cast by New Orleans. From marching bands to jazz to r&b to funk to marching bands (again), the city's musical community has been a tireless creative force in our national culture. Bounce, the hyperspeed rap style that has dominated much of New Orlean's local music scene during past two decades, is only the most recent innovation in a long series of genres.
Led by a battalion of high-impact gender-bending "sissy" rappers, the last few years have seen bounce gain an increasingly national profile. However, the roots of the scene, particularly its complex relations with the highly successful Cash Money and No Limits labels, has been difficult to parse. In some ways, the more successful bounce artists have become nationally, the harder it is to understand the local context that gave them birth.
Given our deep love of NOLA rap in all of its varieties (not to mention our desire to sort out all of these knotty historical hip-hop issues), we are really excited that an incredibly valuable resource has been added to the discussion. The Amistad Research Center has become the official home for the NOLA Hip-Hop and Bounce Archive, a collection that includes over 40 video interviews with the leading lights of generations of rappers and producers. Mystikal, Nicky da B, DJ Black n Mild, TT Tucker… The list goes on and on.
The archive comes out of a collaboration between founder/director Holly Hobbs, a Ph.D. student currently completing her dissertation on post-Katrina hip-hop in New Orleans, and music journalist (and longtime bounce champion) Alison Fensterstock, who put together the brilliant Where They At bounce exhibit of photos, posters, audio interviews and recordings. Contact Holly at email@example.com
Beyond stockpiling historical materials, the archive also plans to expand the interviews and continue to add to this invaluable collection. So dive in, and Check out the NOLA Hip-Hop and Bounce Archive.
And if you forgot how good bounce was? Here's a mix to remind you. (RIP Nicky Da B, whose killer freestyle kicks this thing off.)

Is there any option to import standard cell gds in encounter? I tried to include the standard cell gds in .conf file as follows.
set rda_Input(ui_gds_file) "/export/projects/pnr_calibration/inputs/tcbn40lpbwp.gds"
But it shows error like,
Loading GDS File ./inputs/tcbn40lpbwp.gds**ERROR: (ENCSYT-16029): Failed to load gds file ./inputs/tcbn40lpbwp.gds.
If anybody knows how to resolve this problem, kindly reply me. Thanks in advance.
Encounter no longer reads in GDS directly. You need to convert the LEF and GDS to OpenAccess (OA) and then read in the OA libs.
To create the OA library from LEF and GDS, use the following commands:
lef2oa -lib testLib -lef lefFile -libPath ./testLib -DMSystem oaDMFileSys
strm2oa -lib testLib -gds gdsFile -layerMap layer.map
In EDI 10.1 and earlier versions specify the following in the config file to specify the OA library and views to load:
set rda_Input(ui_oa_reflib) {testLib}set rda_Input(ui_oa_abstractname) {abstract}set rda_Input(ui_oa_layoutname) {layout}
set rda_Input(ui_oa_reflib) {testLib}set rda_Input(ui_oa_abstractname) {abstract}set rda_Input(ui_oa_layoutname) {layout}
- Brian
In reply to wally1:
Thanks wally. It works fine. I have one doubt regarding this. Whether the mos and its connections are present in standard cells while using oa_lib (testLib) as input?
Can I streamout the final gds without using standard cell gds?
In reply to selvam27:
streamOut will not include the standard cells unless you pass it the standard cell GDS files using the -merge option.
Can you clarify what you mean by "mos connections"? The connectivity is based on the LEF. The 'layout' view is for viewing only in EDI.
Thanks Brian. Based on my knowledge gds contains mos and its connections. Lef only contains the metal connections and via informations. When I'm converting standard cells gds to oa library, I'm getting the layout view. I'm trying to clear lvs using this layout view after routing,it shows some error like AND21(std cell) referenced but not defined. How can I clear it? If I'm wrong,correct me.
Hi Selva,
To create a GDS containing the design implemented in Encounter and layout of the standard cells you must either:
1. run streamOut with the -merge option and specify the GDS files for the standard cells. This will merge the top level GDS from Encounter with the GDS of the standard cells which can then take to your LVS tool.
2. OR using Virtuoso open the top level and re-master the standard cells to point to the layout instead of the Abstract view then export GDS. Re-mastering cannot be done in Encounter.
Thanks Brian. I learnt lot from you. I'm interest to learn about Open Access. If you have any documentation related to Open Acess(OA), sent me.
The following blog has several references to help with migrating to OA. There are additional information in the manuals and other resources at http://support.cadence.com.

This is a continuation of my last post.
This was Simon a hour after the last pic.
Now to get even more funny...
A little while ago Bryan had just gotten out of the shower and was about to sit down in his chair. You could hear the sigh that was about to come out of his mouth. He was actually in the sitting down position about to plant his butt when Simon jumped up in the chair underneath him. He looked at me and said that he wasn't even going to say anything and sat down beside me. I laughed so freakin' hard that I cried.

Yeah. One of several examples of where the DOM WG was on crack. This is one area of compliance we purposefully declined in 4DOM (this and entity ref handling were the main areas of non-compliance).

Douglas Garland on suicide watch, as search for missing family continues
CALGARY- With this weekend marking three weeks since the disappearance of five-year-old Nathan O'Brien and his grandparents Alvin and Kathyrn Liknes, searchers continue to comb for clues.
On Friday, dive teams scoured a pond near the acreage where Douglas Garland lives. Garland faces three murder charges in connection with the family's disappearance.
Global News has learned that Garland is currently on suicide watch at the Calgary Remand Centre. While Alberta Justice and the Solicitor General say they can't comment on specific cases, they do say:
"Every offender is assessed by a health care professional upon arrival. If the health care professional determines that an offender is at risk for self-harm, that individual would be placed on observation in a specialized area."
Garland is being monitored 24 hours a day.
The Liknes and O'Brien families are still holding out hope that police will get the information they need to recover the bodies of their loved ones.
This weekend, search crews have been tasked with combing high probability locations near Airdrie.

Whether you call it good luck or a great strategy, it's clear that Russian President Vladimir Putin is enjoying his heyday in international politics these days: Thanks to the peculiarities of Western democracies and their political systems, Putin has managed to grow his influence quickly in a number of countries including the United States, reasserting Moscow's power on its periphery and sowing discord among his adversaries.

CDC: 1 in 4 with diabetes don't know they have it
UPI Health News (Business)
Three million more people have been diagnosed with diabetes since the
Though large, the numbers aren't all that surprising; the rates of diabetes 1 and 2 have been rising for several years now.
But the 29 million figure, featured in a CDC report published this week, is just the people who have been diagnosed. Many more likely have the disease but are unaware -- and undiagnosed.
The CDC estimates that of the estimated 12.3 percent of the adult population with diabetes, one in four don't know they have it. That's not to mention some 86 million people who have prediabetes, 15 to 30 percent of whom the CDC says will develop type 2 diabetes within five years.
"We need people to be more aware of the symptoms and to get screened if they have certain risk factors or are over the age of 45,"
The resulting medical complications from diabetes and prediabetes total more than
Albright says one of the only ways Americans can chip away at these worrisome trends is to improve dietary habits. Even those with prediabetes can avoid the fate of an official diabetes diagnosis by making simple changes, like losing weight and eating healthier.
"Some of the strongest evidence suggests that small changes -- like losing 5 to 7 percent of your body weight if you're overweight -- can make the biggest difference," Albright explained.
"Invest in foods that are nutritious," Albright added, "like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains."

Swaffham Secondary Modern schoolmates gather for 'Class of 1959' reunion
Archant © 2014
More than 50 former classmates gathered to share memories about their school days – and catch up with the playground pals they met at Swaffham Secondary Modern half a century ago.
The Class of '59 reunion has become an annual occasion following the success of the initial event in 2009 to mark the 50th anniversary of the formation of classes 3A/4A and 3B/4B.
After years of research, organiser Derek Edwards, from Toftwood near Dereham, has tracked down 67 of the surviving classmates, with the majority arriving for Saturday's get-together at Swaffham Conservative Club.
"We've had a remarkable turnout overall," he said. "The extraordinary thing is that all these people could come together after 50 years and then keep coming together year after year with the same enthusiasm."
The original idea for the reunion came from Laurence Wright, of Southlands in Swaffham, who said: "What was strange was that a lot of them still lived in the area – and when we called them a lot of them sounded exactly the same on the phone."
One person who does sound different these days is Georgina Maartensz, who has picked up an antipodean accent in the 40 years she spent living in Australia after leaving school as Georgina Page. Following her wedding in 1964, she moved to Sydney with her late husband, who she met while he was serving at RAF Watton.
She said: "It is fantastic to see so many of these people, especially when you live so far away. I stay in touch with a lot of them. It is quite incredible to see the teachers too. They actually look younger than some of the pupils!"
The guests also included 3A's form master Gordon Mason, now 84, who said: "I think of all the schools I taught in, these were the hardest working kids I have come across. I didn't have any troublemakers – I didn't allow them in my class. But I did have some jokers.
"What these people have done is tremendous, and that is down to the confidence they gained at this school. I don't claim any responsibility for that – it is what they grew into."
Another special guest was Cheryl Hill, the current principal of what is now the Nicholas Hamond Academy.
She said although the former pupils may not recognise some of the new buildings or courses being run there, the "pursuit of excellence"was still the same.
"These people left school in the year after I was born," she said. "Education has changed so much since then. I just hope that my pupils will leave the school with the same camaraderie, and will join up in 50 years time in the same way. I hope the process of education will have given them the same team feeling and that sense of belonging."
The youthful faces in two black and white class photographs became the starting point for the research which led to the reunion.
Mr Edwards said 81 former pupils had been identified, of which 67 have been located and 10 had since passed away, leaving four still to find.
Those four are believed to be from RAF families who had since left the area. Seven teachers have also been identified and six have been contacted.
Mr Edwards said: "Our form master Gordon Mason started taking these class photos, which was innovative at the time. It was not just as a record, but as a project – he would send us to the dark room at the back of the science lab to develop and print it.
"So we all printed our own copy of the photograph and, remarkably, we have all kept them."

Last fall, the Peter Thiel Fellowship gave 24 budding entrepreneurs $100,000 over two years to drop out of college and pursue their startup dreams. How have the young founders fared?
In this post for Inc. Jillian D'Onfro reports that a year on from the Peter Thiel Fellowship inaugural class, "all 24 of the originally selected 2011 fellows remain active in the program," and the second class has already been announced. Peter Thiel, the angel investor and co-founder of PayPal behind the foundation, "thinks that rather than spend four (or more) years acquiring a crushing debt load, creative talents should go directly into enterprise." The Peter Thiel Fellowship first year members have started robotics companies, alternative-education sites, mobile social gaming enterprises, and other ventures. While not all of their new companies are producing revenue yet, none of the fellows miss the rigid structure and routine of college life.

The Garbage Plate: Rochester's Contribution to Gastronomical Arts
I was recently in Rochester, NY for the first time and this was one of the more memorable sightings:
What in the world is a garbage plate?
My friend Stacy, a Rochester native, explained it to me: "Everyone in Rochester knows what it is," she said. "You usually eat this when you're really hungry or after you've been drinking." It typically starts off with a half plate of macaroni salad and a half plate of home fries. Top it with some sort of protein, usually a hot dog, hamburger, or sausage (other options like veggies or fish are available). Cover it with condiments, including a special meat sauce. Add some bread and butter. Then dig in.

S1: Organizing: Startups vs. large companies
Organizing, as a management function, can be defined as a systematic process of structuring, integrating, coordinating task goals, and activities to resources in order to attain objectives of a company. Literature suggests that successful organizing takes into consideration the internal and external environment of the company. While it is widely acknowledged that startups are not simply smaller versions of larger companies, there is still uncertainty concerning the similarities and differences in organizing startups and their more established counterparts. Drawing on differences in their internal and external environment as well as their particular objectives, this seminar aims to identify the specific challenges for successfully organizing either a startup or a large company.
- Advanced Seminar (Fach-/Hauptseminar)
- Supervisor: Dr. Christoph Stöckmann
- Kick-off meeting will take place in the first lecture week
- The assignment of individual topics will be arranged in the kick-off meeting

Penicillium italicum and Penicillium digitatum on Orange
The name Penicillium comes from penicillus = brush, and this is based on the brush-like appearance of the fruiting structures (above right) under the microscope. Penicillium typically produces these brush-like heads. The stalk is called the conidiophore. The conidiophore branches at the tip. At the end of each branchlet is a cluster of spore-producing cells called phialides. A chain of spores is formed from the tip of each phialide. The spore is called a conidium 0r phialsopore. The spores in Penicillium often contain blue or green pigments which give the colonies on foods and feeds their characteristic colour. It is the spores in the blue cheese that give the colour to the cheese. The spores are only a few microns in diameter. I wonder how many millions of spores are eaten in a serving of blue cheese. How would you figure it out? ( hint: need a haemocytometer).
This orange (above left) was inoculated with two species of Penicillium at the same time. The smaller bluish colony is Penicillium italicum. The larger olive-green colony is Penicillium digitatum. These are the two common species of Penicillium attacking citrus fruits. Millions of $$$$ worth of losses are caused each year by these fungi during storage or transit of citrus fruits. The fact that P. digitatum grows much faster doesn't necessarily mean that it is the more serious rot fungus. It depends on the temperature. As I recall this orange was incubated at room temperature (20C). If we had incubated at 5C (= refrigeration temperature) then perhaps P. italicum would be faster. Try it!
For the most part Penicillium species like the temperature on the cool side. Penicillium is a versatile, opportunistic fungus with an arsenal of useful enzymes at its disposal to attack a host of organic foodstuffs. So, you have probably already seen it a number of times on food left a little too long in the fridge. It is partial to bread, cheese, cold meats, old sandwiches, cereal products and a host of other things.
If you are a farmer and store your cereals in bins then Penicillium is a dangerous adversary. If the percentage moisture in your cereal is too high then Penicillium will happily destroy it. While it is growing in the feed, the fungus can produce dangerous toxins (mycotoxins) in the cereal residues than can cause serious deleterious effects in animals consuming contaminated feed.
Even fruit farmers can't escape the ravages of Penicillium. Penicillium expansum causes a soft rot of apples. The rotted part of the apple contains a mycotoxin called patulin produced by the fungus. If such apples are squeezed for juice then the patulin persists in the juice. So, apples with brown rot should never be used for apple juice. The mycotoxin patulin is a broad spectrum antibiotic and suppresses both gram positive and gram negative bacteria as well as other fungi. Penicillium species break down food products by external secretion of enzymes. The production of antibiotics will inhibit competition and protect the substrate for the exclusive use of the Penicillium. At least for a little while. Think about it!
Penicillium isn't all bad, however. On the plus side we have Penicillium roquefortii used in the manufacture of blue cheese. During the fermentation process the fungus imparts a pleasant tang to the final product. By the way, the blue in the blue-cheese is caused by the pigment in the spores (conidia) of the fungus. You are consuming spores by the million when you eat blue cheese. Hope it doesn't put you off! Also, let us not forget the contributions of Penicillium notatum and P. chrysogenum in the production of the antibiotic penicillin.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Clearwater, FL, United States, 2010/02/03 - Birds Eye Global Tracking, LLC, Clearwater, FL announces successful test results of its Anytime, Anywhere GPS Tracking Technology conducted in Asia.
Birds Eye Global Tracking, LLC, the maker of the worlds smallest GPS tracker with Anytime, Anywhere Tracking Technology (AATT), has recently announced the successful results of a test to determine if the device could be accurately tracked from one of the most inaccessible areas on Earth. To prove Birds Eyes Anytime, Anywhere tracking capability, the tracker was carried by a tester traveling in the dense jungles of the Philippine Island of Luzon.
Its called Anytime, Anywhere Tracking Technology because all Birds Eye tracking devices run continuously in real-time, so youll always know where the device is, as well as where its been, 24/7, without the pay-per-click fees other devices charge, said Birds Eye (birdseyeglobaltracking.com) CEO, Jimmy Bitzas. And with the Ravens Quadband circuitry, the device will track and report accurately from anywhere on Earth.
Over 10,000 miles away from the tracking device on Luzon, Birds Eyes technicians at their corporate headquarters in Clearwater, Florida, were able to view the exact location and motion of the tracker to within 15 feet, on a conventional smartphone. What makes this test of the Birds Eye Raven Tracker even more astonishing, is that the devices position was accurately pin-pointed by the Birds Eye online software, regardless of whether the device was located outdoors or indoors, said Bitzas.
Last month, Birds Eye testers traveled over 10,000 miles to the Philippines, where they were outfitted with the tiny tracking devices, which measured in at only 2.5 inches in length and weighed just 3 ounces each. The testers moved throughout the island of Luzon, where their positions were reported directly to the Birds Eye online tracking software continuously, every 2 minutes. The secret to their amazing pin-point accuracy is due to the latest advancement in tracking technology, called GPRS, which combines both conventional GPS along with cellphone tower positioning.
As with all Birds Eye (birdseyeglobaltracking.com) GPS tracking systems, their advanced GPRS Anytime, Anywhere Tracking Technology (AATT) is designed to work with the firms proprietary software, which provides geo-fencing capabilities, and worldwide satellite mapping with high resolution magnification and street level monitoring options. With 12-volt DC adaptability, Birds Eye GPS fleet tracking systems can also be installed using a permanent hardwire connection.

SALINAS >> Monterey County sheriff candidates disagreed on the nature of the job and overtime costs but agreed on some issues Monday at a forum for the legal community.
Candidates Mike Richards, Steve Bernal and current sheriff Scott Miller used the two hours to discuss overtime costs, education, the county jail, endorsements and other topics.
A fourth candidate in the June 3 primary, Fred Garcia, had a previous engagement, organizers said.
The sharpest differences were between Bernal, a deputy in the Sheriff's Office, and Miller.
"I think the role of sheriff is more of a public figure," Bernal said when asked about management experience. "Somebody who builds relationships within the community. My plan is to build an administration of administrators who have been there . . . They have that experience. They will see my 10-year plan through."
Miller said Bernal's interpretation of sheriff as "figurehead" was incorrect.
"I guarantee I work 60- and 80-hour weeks to get this stuff done," Miller said. "It's working with the county government, community groups . . . the Sheriff's Office, the other cities within the county, working up in Sacramento to make sure the right legislation is passed."
A dozen people attended the forum at the law offices of Miguel Hernandez in Salinas. It was put on by the county Public Defender's Office and Bar Association.
The candidates were asked about their level of education, which put Bernal at a disadvantage because he does not have college degrees.
"I don't have all those degrees," Bernal said. "I have a degree in street smarts."
Bernal said he has experience from a combined 15 years as a patrol and jail deputy, has taken classes on interrogation, as well as health and safety issues.
Richards said he has obtained certifications in management, advance officer safety, internal affairs and other topics. He has an associate's degree in engineering, he said.
Miller has an associate's degree in general studies, a bachelor's degree in organizational behavior, a master's degree in management and graduated from two other programs at the FBI National Academy and California POST Command College.
"As far as street smarts," Miller said, "I did work on the street and arrested thousands of people."
Overtime costs have been a constant talking point throughout the election but exact numbers from anyone other than the sheriff have been difficult to come by.
A public records request to Monterey County counsel made four weeks ago by The Herald for overtime costs at the Sheriff's Office has yet to be fulfilled.
In 2012, a civil grand jury report on several county departments claimed the Sheriff's Office had "excessive levels" of overtime — over budget by more than $1 million at the Sheriff's Office and $842,032 at the jail that fiscal year.
Miller said at the time other salary savings, including the elimination of two dozen sworn positions, covered the difference.
Richards said overtime excess was the result of a lack of new hires for Miller's first two years as sheriff.
"From what I understand," Bernal said at the forum, "overtime in the past three years has been about $16 million. How many deputies could we have hired for that money?"
Miller said Bernal was "only off by $10 million" and "that's a crazy number."
He said when he started as sheriff he was told he had to reduce the operating budget by $12 million. Hiring resumed after he "got the budget back to where it needed to be."
Monterey County Jail
The candidates largely agreed more improvements were needed at the county jail.
Miller said he planned to hire an ombudsman to advocate for inmates.
Richards said he normally doesn't see eye-to-eye with the sheriff but it seemed like a good idea in concept and he would like to learn more about it.
Bernal said he would take a wait-and-see approach to the plan.
Bernal also said he wanted to collaborate with Hartnell College to train inmates on how to get agricultural jobs.
"There's so many jobs out there waiting for people," Bernal said. "Growers can't fill jobs fast enough."
The sheriff announced earlier that day he had received the endorsements of Gov. Jerry Brown and Rep. Sam Farr, D-Carmel, but his opponents continued to vent about the county Deputy Sheriff's Association's endorsement.
Miller got the most votes, 36 percent, but did not get the more than 50 percent needed for the endorsement. Garcia got 21 percent, Bernal got 16 percent and Richards received 9 percent.
Miller said he was glad to receive the most votes and saw it as a sign he was heading in the right direction because he's had to fire and discipline people, as well as changing some employees from 12-hour to 10-hour shifts.
Richards said only a third of members voted because they were scared of retaliation "by leaving an electronic footprint with that vote."
Bernal claimed the vote had more to do with Miller's recent hires.
"I can tell you that Sheriff Miller just hired 40 new deputies . . . and we believe those are the votes he got," he said.

Opening night: Sascha Rice's "California State of Mind: The Legacy of Pat Brown"
With relatively modest pomp and circumstance, the Santa Cruz Film Festival kicked off its 11th year on Thursday night at the Del Mar Theatre, although not without a technical hitch (or several). Ultimately, the opening night menu had to be flipped; the feature film screened first, followed by the Good Times/Impact/SCFF screenwriting contest winners short film program, which was originally scheduled to precede the feature. But if the night was destined to be an unpredictable one due to those aforementioned technical difficulties, it's lucky, then, that the selected entrée delivered so reliably.
Sascha Rice's documentary California State of Mind: The Legacy of Pat Brown, which I unfortunately missed when it played my hometown festival last October, is peas-and-carrots nutritious—a compliment that nevertheless undersells how fully watchable the film is. Composed largely of priceless archival footage and interviews with numerous political figures, the film covers the San Francisco native's two productive terms as governor of California, subject matter that proves timely when framed in a contemporary context—which, of course, involves Brown's son Jerry, the current governor.
The film owes much of its success to editors Lauren Giordano, Claire Chandler, and Doug Blush, who must have combed through a suffocating amount of footage to craft a detailed documentary of swift pace. As directed by Rice, Brown's granddaughter, it's a fairly even-handed work, albeit one that's probably more valuable as an informative text (particularly for someone of my age) and as a personal entry in the family album. Which is to say, it doesn't reinvent the form, but it certainly provides a firm anchor for the remainder of the festival—during which I hope to catch as many films as I can, and indeed, write about them with the care and skill they deserve; you're welcome to join me.
'California State of Mind: The Legacy of Pat Brown,' with The Good Times/Impact/SCFF Screenwriting Contest Winners, will screen again on May 15 at 1 p.m., at The Nickelodeon, 210 Lincoln St., Santa Cruz. Tickets are $3/Wild Card Weekday. For more information, visit santacruzfilmfestival.org.
