Leon "Skeet" George Kotschwar, 82, of Farnam died Tuesday, May 5, 2009, at the Gothenburg Memorial Hospital Long Term Care Center.
Services were held on Monday, May 11, at the Farnam United Methodist Church with the Rev. Tess Hufford officiating. Burial took place at the Farnam Cemetery with military honors by the Farnam Firing Squad.
Kotschwar was born Dec. 23, 1926, to William and Viola (White) Kotschwar three miles southwest of Maywood. When he was 2 weeks old, the family moved to a farm south of Curtis, living there until he was 13. They then moved to a farm south of Farnam, and he continued living in the Farnam area the rest of his life.
He graduated from Farnam High School in 1944. On March 6, 1945, he entered the U.S. Army and received his honorable discharge on Dec. 12, 1946. While in the Army, he served with the 375th Transportation Corps Harbor Craft in Manila and the Philippine Islands performing duties as a dispatcher in the motor pool of trucks and jeeps.
On Aug. 16, 1953, he married Muriel Gewecke at the Farnam United Methodist Church. To this union, four children were born.
Kotschwar and his brother, Clyde, were trucking partners of livestock and grain, usually trucking in the local area and to the Omaha Stockyards.
He was a self-employed farmer/rancher his entire adult life. He was also a substitute mail carrier for many years. His occupation and recreation was work, but always found time to help out a neighbor or friend in need, according to family members.
Kotschwar was a member of the Farnam United Methodist Church for 57 years and served on various church boards. His memberships and civic activities included fire chief at Farnam for 24 years, a 50-year member of the American Legion Post No. 288, the Rural Fire Board, Veteran's of Foreign War Post No. 8146, the Senior Center board, Village of Farnam board and Farnam Economic Development.
?He was proud of his children and grandchildren and enjoyed their visits and attending their activities, said family members. He also enjoyed playing and watching sports, as he had played first base in baseball, enjoyed golf with friends and family and especially football.
Kotschwar was preceded in death by: his parents, William and Viola; two sisters—Viola and Maxine; three brothers—Stanley, Robert and Clyde.
?Survivors include: his wife, Muriel of Farnam; his children—Brent (Peggy) Kotschwar of Omaha, Lana (Nick) Cate of Peachtree City, GA, Perry Kotschwar of Elwood, and Bryan (Nancy) Kotschwar of Big Springs; eight grandchildren—Kurt Kotschwar, Allison Kotschwar, Brennan Cate, Bennett Cate, Ryan Cate, Trenton Kotschwar, Lindsey Kotschwar and Grace Kotschwar; two brothers—Anton Kotschwar of Moorefield, and Glen (Vicki) Kotschwar of Chadron; five sisters—Gladys (Orville) Thrasher of San Bernardino, CA, Bettye Cross of Pineville, OR, Alice Fickenscher of Surprise, AZ, Mable Conklin of Sterling, IL, and Jean (Ivan) Henderson of Lexington; sister-in-law, Willa McCaa of Arapahoe; brother-in-law, Thomas McCaa of Greensburg, LA; numerous nephews, nieces and cousins.
A memorial has been established and may be sent to: 75235 Rd. 409, Farnam, NE 69029.
Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.blase strauser.com. Arrangements have been placed in the care of Blase-Strauser Memorial Chapel of Gothenburg.

A Secure Digital Mail Service - a common architecture for the public sector in Norway
Bjorn Holstad - Head of architecture section, Agency for Public Management and eGovernment (Difi)
Difi has started work to establish a common solution where residents can get digital record in the digital mailbox. The architecture is developed based on TOGAF and Archimate, architecture must see common solutions in the public sector context. The address says something about the particular challenges faced in an architectural work where the stakeholders are many and have very different interests and often with great force. Furthermore addressed what happens when it all takes place in a political context and where architecture choices are policy. The lecture explains how Difi have attacked the work, the challenges we faced and how we have developed frameworks to achieve this.
Bjørn Holstad is senior adviser at Difi and has been project manager for the management, organization, financing and development of national common components, and project manager for developing a single secure digital mailbox and a common architecture.
He was previously director of correctional IT services, IT Director of the Loan Fund, IT Manager at CAA and Operations Manager IT in Finance.

Robert Weisman - CEO of Build The Vision, major contributor to TOGAF 9 and next version of TOGAF
Decision Quality and Strategic Agility are primary drivers for competitive advantage, efficiency and effective service delivery, all enabled by Enterprise Architecture (EA). The question is whether the existing methodologies are fit for purpose, especially laying the foundation for interoperability (the ability to share quality information and services) in national and international organizations in both private and public sectors. This presentation defines the concepts and how EA can address the needs in the emerging global business and technology environments.
Robert Weisman, MSc, PEng, PMP, CD has 37 years of experience (25 years public and 12 years private sectors) and has worked as a business subject matter expert, portfolio manager and enterprise architect in leading innovation initiatives nationally and internationally in domains such as crisis management, defence, health and modernizing service to citizens. He is a long-time member of the Open Group, was a major contributor to TOGAF 9, is working on the next version of TOGAF (as well as Cloud and Big Data) and has used and combined all major global EA frameworks in his endeavours.

Enterprise Architecture improves interaction with the business
Monika K. Dahl – Enterprise Architect, Norwegian Public Roads Administration
By using EA we have improved our interaction with the business and the planning of new IT projects is now done with EA as one of the key criteria.
The NPRA has in the last three years reorganized the ICT department and is currently establishing both portfolio management and EA as part of the strategic IT governance.
The business architecture is being modeled in UML and the information ownership is being defined. The systems are both described AS IS and there are initiatives on-going to describe TO BE architectures for the different business processes.
Using a methodology with templates for describing the business and building an architecture repository has made it easier to interact with the business and to work together in the ICT department.
This presentation will tell what challenges we have had, and what we did to manage them.
Key takeaways
Monika Dahl has a Masters degree in Computer Science from the University. She has worked in IT for over 20 years, first as a developer, then as a project manager and architect. Having worked in both the public and the private sectors, she now works in the Roads Administration as a business architect.

Architecture acceleration for business transformations
Mick Adams - Chief Business architect for EMEIA and ex-chair of the Open Group architecture forum, Ernst and Young
Business transformation is a tricky beast... it requires many people to be bought in to a singular vision, and it requires even more people to be aligned to an often multi-year execution program throughout which personal and organization priorities will change. As a firm with considerable business architecture and transformation experience, Ernst & Young deploys multi-discplinary teams of functional and technical experts and uses a number of approaches, anchored on TOGAF®, to address these issues. This is necessary to get a handle on the complexity inherent to today's business environment so that stakeholders are aligned and remain actively engaged, past investments in both processes and systems can be maximized, and transformation programs are set up for success and can be driven with sustained momentum.
Business executives in charge of transformations, business leaders looking to start transformation, strategy or planning professionals seeking new ways to improve estimate accuracy, transformation professionals looking for different ways to engage stakeholders, architects looking for different ways to use architecture.

I. In Focus This Week
An election in 140 characters or less
Orange County, Calif. registrar's office tweets its way through a special election
Just over 16,300 ballots were cast Tuesday for the San Clemente Special Municipal Election in Orange County, Calif.'s most southern city. And there were just over 60 tweets from the county about the election.
The Orange County Registrar's office live- tweeted on Twitter from @OCRegistrar throughout the day to provide election day updates. The tweets, which began early Tuesday morning, told the story of election day from early morning coordinator arrivals to the return of the last truck of election supplies to the registrar's office in the evening.
The tweets afforded county residents with a running commentary on how election day was progressing and gave those outside of San Clemente the opportunity to live vicariously through the election officials.
Here is a sample of @OCRegistrar's tweets from Tuesday:
5:41 a.m.: Our coordinators will start to check in from the field via radio in 5 minutes.
6:27 a.m.: Out of 101 poll workers only one has not showed up this morning.

7:00 a.m.:It's 7 a.m. Polls are open. Let the voting begin!
7:03 a.m.:Headed to an electioneering call. Report of signs on home next to poll site
7:04 a.m.:8 people in line at a residence to vote. Good to see people out voting.
7:12 a.m.:Sign problem resolved - they are well over 100 feet.
7:40 a.m.:We set up 4 poll sites with ADA equipment to accommodate disabled voters.
: First time we've used internal teams to set these up.
8:19 a.m.:Small but steady stream of voters so far.
:Biggest issue for us so far? Poll worker accidentally kicked the cord out of a voting booth.
: Problem solved.
8:44 a.m.: As of now we have deployed 6 back up volunteers to cover no shows. Poll sites are well staffed.
Beginning at 9 a.m., live tweets included updates on polling place turnout every one to two hours.
9:04 a.m.: Best poll site with a view? Pacific Coast Church in San Clemente.
: Not only do they have great views of the Pacific but they've had 31 voters so far.
10:10 a.m.: Another electioneering call just dealt with - volunteers on both sides of the issue are passionate but it's our job to keep it fair.
11:13 a.m.: We just received 279 vote-by-mail ballots in today's mail. We will be opening shortly.
3:01 p.m.: We are conducting extensive equipment surveys in San Clemente today. Overall performance is very good.
7:14 p.m.: As of 7:00 pm the polling place turnout for San Clemente is 10.58%. The next update will be at 8:00 pm.
At 8:05 p.m., the registrar's office posted the first results from vote-by-mail ballots on its website.
10:06 p.m.: 1 precinct left for our final 10:30 p.m. update.
10:07 p.m.: Following that we will sort all election supplies including paper ballots, vote-by-mail dropped off at polls, etc.

Houston Ship Channel: A TMDL Project for Nickel
Houston Ship Channel
Photograph courtesy of Texas Parks and Wildlife
Counties: Chambers, Galveston, Harris
Parameter: Nickel
Basins: San Jacinto River, Bays and Estuaries
Segments: 1001, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1013, 1014, 1016, 1017, 2426, 2427, 2428, 2429, 2430, 2436
Background and Goals
Data collected in the 1980s and early 1990s caused concern about dissolved nickel concentrations in the Houston Ship Channel system. Sampling associated with this TMDL project used improved techniques that revealed that the threat was much less severe than was originally indicated. Modeling analyses predicted that nickel concentrations could exceed water-quality standards in limited areas during conditions of low flow, but the probability of such an event is small. The goal of this project is to assure that nickel loadings remain below the target amount, and that the water-quality standard will continue to be supported.
See Also:
The commission first adopted these TMDLs on August 11, 2000. The commission adopted revisions to the TMDLs on June 14, 2002. The EPA approved them on May 9, 2003, at which time they became part of the state's Water Quality Management Plan.

Charlotte always has the first day of school disaster curse. She has bad first days of school. At lunchtime at Abigail Adams Junior High, Charlotte zips the tablecloth into her jeans and her lunch partners hate her. Charlotte is horrified when they are assigned to have a sleepover at one of the person's houses. Worst of all, Charlotte has to have it at her house! Will they ever become friends? Find out in Beacon Street Girls: Worst Enemies, Best Friends.
I like this book because it is about four girls who hate each other, but they might grow on each other. They might just become friends.
I liked Katani because she is so positive all the time. Even though Charlotte and Katani do not get along, Katani still feels sorry for Charlotte when she does such embarrassing things in public.
My favorite part was when Charlotte zips the tablecloth into her jeans. When she stands up, the lunch trays fly everywhere and Charlotte is so embarrassed. I like this part because it has a lot of details in it and it is very funny.
This book reminds me of how my friends and I became friends. At first, we started out disliking each other. Then, we started to play together more and to hang out together. The Beacon Street girls start to do these things, too.
I recommend this book to kids in 3rd through 6th grade. It is about four girls who might just become friends.

Sandro Georgi visits to winery in Piedmont, Italy
Swiss X-Photographer Jens Krauer documents Langstrasse in Zurich with the GFX
You don't become a street photographer, you realize you are one.
I realized it around late 2012. Finding pictures on the street, documenting life and humans, was growing into becoming my passion. The pleasure of finding and capturing truly candid moments and emotions trough to an image is what drives me to wander cities day and night in search of what life would have to offer to me and my camera. Today, the passion still grows stronger day by day. So much to be captured, so many moments to be recorded, the next image might be just around the corner.
Fascinated by candid street photography, photo journalism as well as social documentary I am still developing and finding new challenges as I progress. My background in urban culture and painting now seamlessly ties into my photography.
Too many subjects, not enough time.
To enable me is all I ask from my camera. A versatile, capable tool with character that does exactly what i expect it to do with greatness: captures what I see, the way I see it, the moment I see it under the conditions I am in. On the Street, the Fuji cameras do exactly that. With so much character and style that all my Fujis became truly dear to me. My style of shooting is directly related to the possibilities that these beautiful cameras offer me. The X-T1 is the extension to my eye, the magic box that captures what's in front of me in the streets. As a Street Photographer I believe that Fuji cameras incorporate all that allows me to capture candid street life in urban environments efficiently. Small, discreet, great low light performance, direct and fast access to all settings that matter make this camera such a versatile companion. Stunning image quality, the direct access to key controls and the sensor that sees at night have me take my Fujis wherever I go.

Election or Art?
Harry Shearer turns satellite feeds into found objects.
Slate turns 10 this week, and to celebrate the anniversary, we've dug into the archives and resurrected a few favorite pieces. Some of the pieces come from The Best of Slate: A 10th Anniversary Anthology, which was published this month. Others, including this piece, we chose because they highlight what Slate can do as an online magazine that print magazines, newspapers, television, and radio can't. These pieces mix media, promote interactivity, show off the conversational immediacy of the Web, or otherwise take advantage of the medium. You can see a list of all the republished pieces, as well as everything else related to the anniversary, here. You can buy The Best of Slate here.
To see a slide show of some pieces in the "Face Time" exhibit, click here.
In the 20-odd years since I first met Chris Matthews, I have never seen him, on television or off, with his mouth shut. Until now. I am standing in the Conner Contemporary Art gallery in Washington, D.C., taking in the art installation, "Face Time." The work consists of 17 flat-panel video screens playing raw satellite feeds of various important people waiting patiently for their turn to appear on a TV news broadcast. Matthews is one of them. And even though there is no sound, I can tell he isn't talking. He's just staring into space.
The video monitor showing Matthews is one of six mounted in a V pattern straight ahead as you enter the white-walled gallery. These six screens display raw feeds of network and cable news anchors. To their right is a line of four screens that show raw feeds of political "experts." On the back wall, two screens, arranged horizontally, display raw feeds of government officials. On the third wall, two horizontal rows of five screens show raw feeds of this year's presidential candidates. The pervasive quiet ensures that no one will mistake this for a control room.
The fascination of raw feeds—the useless video stream bounced off satellites before and after the "real" video stream appears on live programming—is an old story. As long ago as 1985, the writer David Owen marveled in the Atlantic about a phenomenon he called "network television in its underpants," wherein owners of home satellite dishes could eavesdrop on, say, an unsuspecting Max Robinson—now deceased, but until 1983 the Chicago anchor for ABC's World News Tonight—as he yelled at colleagues, told dirty jokes, and purchased consumer goods by phone. In 1992, documentary filmmakers Ken Rafferty and James Ridgeway fashioned a movie, Feed, from raw feeds of presidential candidates noisily making asses of themselves as they stumped through New Hampshire. Since then, most celebrities have wised up and learned that while you're waiting to go live, it's best to be silent. You never know who may be listening.
It is this silence that sets "Face Time" apart from attempts by others to place raw feeds into a distancing context. The artist is Harry Shearer, the radio host, filmmaker, occasional Slate contributor, and actor best-known as the voice of Montgomery Burns, Ned Flanders, and assorted other characters on The Simpsons. For years, Shearer has been collecting (and posting on his Web site) raw-feed "found objects." He has a particular fascination with silent feeds, and since 1988, he's worked in that medium on HBO, at Los Angeles' Museum of Contemporary Art, and even in the window of Barney's New York. "The whole project," he told me at the opening of "Face Time," "is called 'Non-Talking Heads.' "
Why is the silence so disconcerting? Perhaps because it underscores that these non-talking heads are stuck in a no-man's land that's neither public nor private. Each has his own strategy for negotiating this TV purgatory. Larry King, peering at a monitor off-screen as he waits to go live at Ronald Reagan's funeral, chews popcorn with open-mouthed abandon. He looks like your Great-Uncle Ira pigging out on the Early Bird Special. Peter Jennings, sitting in the ABC newsroom, takes notes and strokes his mouth, not inelegantly. Bill Kristol smiles, and smiles, and smiles, and, finally, gives up. Judy Woodruff, standing outside Boston's FleetCenter during the Democratic convention, knits her brow worriedly. Henry Kissinger looks bored. Newt Gingrich looks tired and eventually closes his eyes. (Is he asleep?) Ralph Nader endures the application of hair spray; God knows what toxic chemicals are contained therein, but it's a small price to pay to change the world. John McCain looks expectant, light shining in his eyes. I'm going to be on television! Paul Begala scowls.
In the raw feeds, the non-talking heads seem both more and less human than they are on "real" television. More human, obviously, in the sense that each has developed an idiosyncratic style of waiting his or her turn. But also less human because every facial expression is placed inside the frame of a TV screen, which in turn is placed inside the larger frame of the work as a whole. These aren't people; they've been cruelly objectified into absurdist art. Sad to say, they are much more compelling in silent repose than they'll ever be once they finally get to speak about the Iraq war, or the budget deficit, or the latest political polls. We'll stop staring as we listen to what they say. But we won't listen very hard.

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
Have you ever been homesick? Have you ever just gone home for a long weekend and not thought anything of it? Try living 5,000 miles away, where your home and family are not so easily accessible.
Alexandra Bonetti, a sophomore accounting major and TCU women's golf player, is from Paris, France, and only gets to go home for Christmas break and some of summer. Being far away from home has been a major transition to play golf at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth.
"First semester my freshman year was really tough being far away from home," Bonetti said. "But this semester has been a lot better."
After visiting Texas for the first time, the thought of attending college so far away from home felt right, Bonetti said.
"When I came to visit I saw the facilities, and they were beautiful," Bonetti said. "I met the coaching staff and really liked them. Also, TCU's Neeley School of Business is one of the top business schools in the nation and I wanted to study accounting."
Knowing TCU men's golfer, Julien Brun, also being from Paris, helped to smooth Bonetti's transition to Fort Worth. In turn, her decision to play for TCU brought Brun to campus.
"I've known Julien for almost eight years now," Bonetti said. "I committed before him, and then I told him how great the coaching, facilities and campus were because he could not visit. Then he committed as well."
Both TCU's men's and women's golf teams, are as culturally diverse than any other athletic team at TCU. Despite those differences, Bonetti said the women's team is especially close.
"All of my teammates are like sisters to me," Bonetti said. "During meetings, the coaches say that they've never had a team that was this close that can mesh very well together. We work really hard and all of us are very supportive of each other."
Along with many other traditions such as dressing up in costume while flying to tournaments over Halloween weekend, every golfer on the women's team has a nickname. Bonetti's is Kool-Aid, but she said the name is not related to the drink.
"During my freshman year, I was going to hit a shot 75 to 80 percent, and I told my coach that I was going to hit a 'cool' shot. But my not knowing English very well, I used the word 'cool' out of context. In French it means not a 100 percent shot."
Bonetti said she has also adjusted to southern hospitality in Texas. The different but welcoming culture has made the transition to Texas even smoother.
"The people are very welcoming compared to France for sure," Bonetti said. "I would see people that I didn't know and they would just say 'Hello' to me, which is very different from where I come from. It made me feel very welcome in America."
Bonetti has been playing golf since she was 7 years old, and she said she finds inspiration in her parents, who are also very good golfers. Before she found her love for golf, she competed in tennis and judo.
Bonetti said she models herself after professionals such as Tiger Woods, an American golfer, and Rafael Nadal, a tennis player from Spain, because of the way they fight for every shot.
Bonetti takes what she learns from her role models and her coaches and puts those lessons into action. She said her focus is more on mentality of the game and not the technical aspects, which is different from her coaching back in Paris.
"Fight for every shot and do not let your emotions affect your game," Bonetti said. "If you have a bad shot, just recover and concentrate on the next one."
Some of the best advice she said she has learned in America is to spend 90 percent of practice time playing short game, like chipping and putting. This has brought her game to a new level, along with working with, Mike Wright, director of golf at Shady Oaks Country Club.
"I am so happy that I met him," Bonetti said. "Last year, I met other golfing instructors, but between Europe and the U.S., we don't necessarily have the same philosophy of the swing, so it didn't really match my style of playing at first. Mike is a really great player and he's made me into the player I am today."
Bonetti said this season has been her best at TCU and that competing is her favorite part about the game.
In six spring tournaments, Bonetti has five top 20 finishes, including three top ten results. She also has a career low 75.4 stroke average for the season.
Bonetti said her favorite memory of golf is playing for the French team for the 2010 World Championship.
Bonetti was not ranked within the top three in France in 2010, so she wasn't sure she would have been able to play. But after a great season, she passed Valentine Derrey, another TCU women's golf player from Paris, to compete in the World Championship.
By the first round, Bonetti was leading the tournament shooting five under par. Bonetti finished 13th individually helping France place third overall.
"Getting the bronze medal was probably my best memory," Bonetti said.
Bonetti's good memories are far from over, seeing that she has excelled season after season.
"Alex is such a special student-athlete and golfer," TCU head coach Angie Ravaioli-Larkin said. "She is a fighter and true competitor who works harder than anyone I have ever coached. Watch for Alex to do great things in the near future."
Bonetti has two more years left of her career at TCU. After graduation, Bonetti said she hopes to go back to France and play on the European tour before qualifying for the LPGA.
Whether excelling overseas or in the states, Alexandra Bonetti is a Horned Frog to watch during her final two seasons at TCU.

A White Paper based on this web page was published at RSP 2004. Download PDF.
The work on this page has now been taken forward with a model checker instead of a SAT solver, to handle startup and error recovery.
DS using SAT
The recent development in the size of problems that may be tackled with SAT solvers now enables problems of 100K variables to be readily solved. This is a useful size both for hardware and for software synthesis, provided the problem and the possible solutions can be phrased as logic functions.
There are many ways of using a SAT solver to generate hardware designs, but one of the most simple is to postulate a pseudo-FPGA architecture and allow the SAT solver to program it. In the basic case, the problem to be solved is phrased as a formal logic function and the behaviour of the FPGA given a given programming is expressed similarly. Then a bi-equivalence equation can be solved by a SAT solver to generate solutions. Un-used gates in the FPGA are then removed using standard identities to trim the solution for ASIC or other flows. Finally, we can select from a number of solutions either by refining the query or selecting from the generated solutions using cost evaluations (e.g. lines of code or gate count).
Converting a high-level specification of the problem to a logic function presents two main challenges. Firstly there tends to be exponential blow-up when converting to conjunctive normal form and secondly there is a desire to mix other forms of design specification with the formal specification, such as structural instantiation of existing design sections and behavioural specification. We address these later.
The selection of an appropriate pseudo-FPGA architecture is also a challange, once we realise that for the approach to be useful, we need to instantiate RAMs, ALUs and even microprocessors in the target hardware, if it is to be a comprehensive solution to today's design tasks. Finally, and for completeness, we would like to generate software for embedded processors within the same architecture.
Although SAT solvers may be able to tackle the whole of a problem in one go (by which we mean a task of comparable size to that typically handled in a run of Synopsys Design Compiler), for a tool flow to be practical, there needs to be consistency and reuse of solutions from one run to another. Otherwise, the whole of a design might change as a result of a very minor change in the specification.
HPRLS Specification Algebra 1
In the HPRLS project we define a number of fundamental hardware problems. A given hardware solution can implement any number of problems at once, although there may be additional restrictions on concurrency.
HPRLS-1 is a form that separates control and data according to strict rules. It applies to non-pipelined problems that operate in cycles where there is no control state at the end of a cycle. Put another way, the controller returns to a known state periodically. The data is represented purely symbolicly. Predicate functions on the data provide for data-dependent control flow. As we shall see, an HPRLS-1 specification is frequently augmented with some sort of data conservation specification which is a direct consequence of many hardware designs being concerned with buffering, filtering or otherwise transforming streams of data [ Data Conservation Primitives].
HPRLS-1P is a varient of HPRLS-1 that allows pipelined solutions. The cycle boundaries may not exist in concrete form, but still logically exist.
We use a simple non-branching time notation in this work. Predicate rules may refer to a variable, v, meaning its value at current time t, or X(v), meaning its value at time t+1 within the current timeframe. We can also write X(v,t+n) and X(v, n) where n is a small integer. These two respectively mean the value of the variable at time t+n or absolute time n. In the example below a range of values for n is given. Such ranges cause macro expansion of the rule into multiple similar rules, each with its own integer value plugged in.
Tiny Example Problem
A tiny example is presented in full on this separate web page: Almost Trivial, Divide by 3 Counter.
Example Problems
There are two small examples on these two links:
Here is a simple example:
A very simple problem to solve is the generation of a pulse sequence consiting of an infinitely repeating pattern consisting of 101 followed by six 0's before starting to repeat again. The period is therefore 9 clocks.
If the output is a sequence x[t] where t is time measured in units of a master clock, the problem may be specified formally as
\A(t). (0<=t<=8) ? (x[t]==(t==0 || t==2)):x[t] = x[t-9].
We manually convert the specification into our own notation as input to the HPRLS expander:
X(x, t+n:(0..8)) := (n==0 || n==2); X(x, t+9) := x;
The expander converts the assignments into bi-implication predicates and creates a sequence of variables for each variable in the input code together with a one step delay predicate relating each to its predecessor in the sequence. The sequence length is determined by symbolic enumeration of the set of rules and is sufficient to encompass the time horizon thus created. Hence ten copies of x are encounted while macro-expanding this section of code and one of the rules is that x_0 = x_9, so there are only 8 different values. Each macro-expansion results in a bi-implication clause that is then expanded with de Morgan to a number of DNF clauses for feeding to the SAT solver. Note that the lhs and the rhs of each assignment could have been swapped over and the program would still be valid.
The specification is translated into the following set of clauses for conversion to DNF:
x_0 == 1; x_1 == 0; x_2 == 1; x_3 == 0; x_4 == 0; x_5 == 0; x_6 == 0; x_7 == 0; x_8 == 0; x_9 == x_0; X(x_0) == x_1; X(x_1) == x_2; X(x_2) == x_3; X(x_3) == x_4; X(x_4) == x_5; X(x_5) == x_6; X(x_6) == x_7; X(x_7) == x_8; X(x_8) == x_9;
This structure looks a bit like a one-hot encoding of a divide-by-nine counter. Actually, any count sequence of length nine, whatsoever, will meet this specification and the resulting design is just a matter of which one(s) the SAT solver returns first. Later we show that a number of hand-crafted Verilog RTL designs for the example problem also meet this specification.
Example Pseudo FPGA or PAL
A suitable hardware target for this class of problem is a sea of CLBs (configurable logic blocks) where each element may either be a four input combinatorial function or the same followed by a D-type flip-flop. There are 16 bits of LUT (look-up-table) to implement the combinatorial function and one to specify sequential or combinatorial operation, making 17 bits per CLB as seen by the SAT solver. All clock-inputs are hardwired to a master free-running clock.
The wiring interconnection pattern is not restricted by 2-D layout restrictions of real FPGAs, and so could be some sort of n-dimensional hypercube. Instead we use a tree structure with the expectation that CLBs closer to the root will be used mainly for signal routing rather than sequential logic.
The behaviour of the pseudo FPGA is readily converted to a formal logic specification using conventional techniques. The programming information for the FPGA turns into unconstrained inputs. Actual run-time input data can be handled via this approach as well.
Here is the Verilog for one CLB
// Configurable logic block module hpr_fpga_clb(clk, d0, d1, d2, d3, y); input clk; input d0, d1, d2, d3; output y; reg [15:0] clk_lut; // This is initialised during FPGA programming reg clb_comb_mode; // This is initialised during FPGA programming reg clb_reg; wire [3:0] din = { d3, d2, d1, d0 }; wire v = clk_lut[din]; always @(posedge clk) clb_reg <= v; assign y = (clb_comb_mode) ? v: clb_reg; endmodule
Here is the scalarised version of one CLB, ready for converting to DNF.
Here is the structure used to nest CLBs into a tree. A tree with five levels generates a 32 CLB structure.
module hpr_fpga_nest(clk, d0, d1, d2, d3, y); input clk; input d0, d1, d2, d3; output y; hpr_fpga_clb tt(.clk(clk), .d0(d0), .d1(d1), .d2(d2), .d3(q), .y(y)); hpr_fpga_clb bb(.clk(clk), .d0(y), .d1(d1), .d2(d2), .d3(d3), .y(q)); endmodule
As can be seen, the CLBs are paired with one input of each taken from the output of the other. This results in a potential combinatorial loop, depending on the programming of the clb_comb_mode bits in each cell.
A problem arises from the combinatorial loops intrinsic to all unprogrammed FPGA structures: these loops might be used as latch storage in synthesised designs. This is addressed during conversion to DNF in the HPRLS expander. The first step of expansion is a pseudo macro expansion of combinatorial nets by recursively substituting their r.h.s. expression at places where they are referenced. Where a macro expansion touches a combinatorial net that is already on the expander's stack as work in progress, instead of entering into an infinite descent, the tool generates a new 'DG' variable. It then either creates a bi-implication assertion that that variable is always the same as the expression it is replacing, or it leaves it undriven. After SAT solving, each DG variables will be allocated a static value and this value is then assimilated into the netlist when it is trimmed.
Run-time input signals.
There are no inputs in this simple example. Where inputs are needed, the design must work for all possible input values, and so the clauses that reference them are macro-expanded for all possible combinations of the inputs. Alternatively, they can be universally qualified at the head of the design. Either way, this is another source of exponential growth in this naive approach.
Top-Level Goal
Since our example target specification has a single output bit, the top-level goal for SAT solution is created with a single additional specification that at all times, one of the nets in the FPGA is identical to the desired output net from the specification.
\A(t). x[t]==pga_clb0_qHere pga_clb0_q is the output net from one of the root-level CLBs. We could equally have chosen any other output or internal net.
SAT solving
A pseudo FPGA of 32 CLBs was generated, resulting in 32 pre-DNF clauses over 544 terms.
The Walksat solver freely available from Princeton was used to solve the example task. This solver supports upto 150000 terms as dimensioned in the download. SAT problems grow exponentially in terms of clauses as new conditions are added, so a better measure of relative complexity is to take logarithms of the number of clauses.
In addition, our example design uses a fraction of the FPGA capacity.

Ok this is what i am supposed to do
Create an object class named students.java with the following object variables:
String s[] = new String[30];
int number;
The constructor, students(), will set the value of num to zero.
Create the following object methods:
void fill() - this will prompt the user to enter names (string), one per line which will be placed in the string array s. When the user enters a null string (zero length), entry will cease and the number of valid strings in the array will be place in the variable number.
void list() - this will list the valid strings in the array s, one per line. If the value of num is zero, it will inform the user that there are no entries to list.
void add() - this will add one student to the array if there is room. If there is no more room, a message to that effect will be displayed. All of the processing shown in the sample run will be done here
void search() - this will search the names in the array. If the name does not exist, a message will inform the user of that fact. If the name does exist, the user will be asked if they want to change it. If the answer is no, then nothing more happens. If the answer is yes, then the user will be prompt for the change.
This is what i have so far, is it ok so far? and also how can i make a method that adds a string tot he list?
Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated.
Code:import java.io.* ; public class students { String s[] = new String[30]; students(); void fill() { for(int i=0;i<31;i++) { System.out.println("Please print the names"); MyInput.readString(s); } } void list() { for(i=0;i<31;i++) { System.out.println(s[i]); System.out.println(); } //Dont forget about the msg if there are 0 entries } void add() } //End of Class

Prevention Protocols
It used to be thought that little could be done to postpone what nature has in store for us. Today, a growing scientific consensus indicates that individuals possess a great deal of control over how long they are going to live and what their state of health will be.
Mainstream medicine has relied on simple measures of preventing disease, such as controlling hypertension, yet many doctors are coming to the realization that additional steps can be taken to protect against premature aging and death.
In fact, the results of tens of thousands of scientific studies make it abundantly clear that following the proper lifestyle can add a significant number of healthy years to the average person's lifespan.
The premise of taking action to maintain youthful health and vigor is based on findings from peer-reviewed scientific studies that identify specific factors that cause us to develop degenerative disease. These studies suggest that the consumption of certain foods, food extracts, hormones, or drugs will help prevent common diseases associated with normal aging.
Therefore, the concept of disease prevention can be defined as the incorporation of findings from published scientific studies into a logical daily regimen that enables an individual to attain optimal health and longevity.
Taking aggressive steps to extend one's lifespan is a major commitment. This Prevention protocol provides practical information about what a person can do to take advantage of the consensus of scientific knowledge obtained from the most prestigious medical journals in the world.

Stocks tumbled the most this year and the euro slid while Spanish bond yields surged amid renewed concern about Europe's debt crisis. U.S. Treasuries rose, while oil fell after the longest stretch of weekly gains since 2004.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index dropped 0.9 percent to 1,500.21 at 3:06 p.m. in New York, falling from a five-year high, and the Stoxx Europe 600 Index closed 1.5 percent lower. The euro declined 0.9 percent to $1.3519, retreating from the strongest level since November 2011. Spanish 10-year yields jumped 23 basis points to 5.44 percent and Italy's rates added 14 points. Ten-year U.S. yields lost five basis points to 1.97 percent. Oil sank 1.6 percent to $96.17 a barrel, leading commodities lower, after capping an eighth straight weekly gain.
Spanish Premier Mariano Rajoy is facing opposition calls to resign amid contested reports about illegal payments, while Deutsche Bank AG said this year's rally in Italian and Spanish bonds may falter as Italy's Silvio Berlusconi narrowed the front-runner's lead before elections this month. In the U.S., growth in factory orders trailed economist estimates.
"The market is realizing that there are still substantial risks out there, especially on the political front," said Michael Leister, a fixed-income strategist at Commerzbank AG in London. "The dynamics in Spain are devastating because they have the potential to cause a lot of damage. If in the worst case we would get a new election in Spain, this would be a real shocker for the market."
Market Movers
All 10 groups in the S&P 500 fell at least 0.2 percent, sending the benchmark gauge down the most since Dec. 28 and trimming its year-to-date gain to 5.2 percent. Technology, consumer-discretionary and financial shares led losses in the S&P 500. Travelers Cos., Merck & Co. and Pfizer Inc. fell more than 1 percent for the biggest declines in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which retreated after climbing above 14,000 last week for the first time since 2007.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. fell 1.2 percent as JPMorgan Chase & Co. cut its rating on the world's largest retailer.
"It's a little bit of a breather," Joseph Veranth, chief investment officer at Dana Investment Advisors in Brookfield, Wisconsin, said by telephone. The firm manages $3.8 billion. "In Europe, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese bond yields are up a bit there and that's partly causing it. Nevertheless, the market in the U.S. has been strong since the beginning of the year and we don't see a whole lot to change that trend."

A billion dollar clean energy manufacturer was grossly underpaying Mexican workers it hired by paying them in Mexican pesos, according to a U.S. Labor Department investigation.
The company, Bloom Energy Corporation, was found guilty of paying 14 workers the equivalent of $2.66 per hour, the department said – far below the required federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour.
A U.S. District Judge ruled Monday that the company violated the minimum wage, overtime and record-keeping provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Bloom Energy, a manufacturer of clean energy power generating systems for companies like Google, Walmart, Coca-Cola, FedEx and eBay, must now pay the 14 Mexican nationals $31,922 in back wages, as well as $6,160 in civil penalties.
"It is appalling that this was happening right in the heart of Silicon Valley, one of the wealthiest per capita areas in the U.S.," Ruben Rosalez, a Labor Department administrator, said in a statement.
Bloom Energy, which receives federal tax breaks as a "clean energy" provider, is a private company with an estimated value at $2.7 billion. The company did not return messages seeking comment on the Labor Department's investigation.
The Mexican workers were in the United States on visitor visas and worked alongside U.S. workers for 15 months welding and refurbishing generators. They were housed in hotel rooms, and given a $50 stipend a day for food -- though they lost the balance if they didn't use it all.
The Labor department investigation showed that Bloom Energy directly deposited their salaries into a Mexican account.
"It's surprising in the sense that this is the first time that we've had a case that was this egregious," said Susana Blanco, the Labor Department's district director in San Francisco.
The department launched a two-year investigation into Bloom Energy in November of 2010, but did not give a reason for why the investigation was launched in the first place. It has ordered the company to not ship the goods the Mexican workers produced in violation of the FLSA.
"The department remains vigilant in protecting the rights of vulnerable workers," Rosalez said. "And to ensuring they are paid the wages they have rightfully earned."
Besides the monetary penalties, Bloom Energy must now publish quarterly reports over the next two years to prove they are following legal pay practices.

A New Year brings a fresh beginning
If you are like the majority of us, you will have made a New Year's resolution or two. It's only human nature. The clock moves forward to a fresh calendar year and we reflect on how we can improve ourselves in the coming months.
But first we celebrate. The New Year usually means a champagne toast and a party. There's football to watch on television.
The New Year also brings a time for reflection. We've turned a page. Maybe it's time for an upgrade. A personal makeover, so to speak. We want to change our lives for the better. The new you, if only you can follow through with that personal commitment.
Probably the most common New Year's resolutions in 2014 will be to lose weight or get in shape. I fall into that category. Resolved: I will go to the gym. At age 56, I figure it is time to once again work on some muscle tone just to stay in shape for sailing and skiing. Experts say other common resolutions include quitting smoking, improving one's financial position, traveling, changing jobs and being a better family member or friend.
The experts say although most of us tend toward making New Year's resolutions, few of us will really follow through on those resolutions. Six months later those resolutions will have fallen by the wayside and forgotten. Just ask any gym owner.
The key to success in your New Year's resolution is keeping your goals modest. Don't set the bar too high, the experts say, and you'll stand a better chance of achieving your resolution. Instead of resolving to lose weight, they say you will have better success if you set a modest goal. So, resolve to lose 10 pounds by the first of March. That should be easy, right?
I already try to walk 2 to 3 miles every other day. So I will add to that exercise regimen by resolving to go to the gym on the days I don't walk.
Historians report that the tradition of making New Year's resolutions can be found in different cultures around the world, but it is most prolific in the west.
So if you have made a New Year's resolution, don't be afraid to refine it. Define your resolution to make it possible for you to achieve your goal. You'll be much happier with the results.
— Jeff McDonough

Just sayin'. All I hear is bitching about one of the simplest music players on the planet. All your problems with the iPod are because it didn't come with much instruction. Which you seem to have not bothered reading. Little details such as minimum system requirements. But no, it's the iPod's fault. It's a POS as you say. Sure. But you're running an out of date, four year old version of iTunes and wondering why it takes hours to install a major software update over dial up.Take the iPod back and continue to live in 2004. You'll be much happier.

Instead why not go to Apple.com

Wow. I bet the eighteen people that own Zunes are pissed.
