Sadie Kaufmann Guthmann on her wedding day, 1902.
Every year, Grandma comes to spend the winter with us in California – an effort to avoid the Chicago winters and the risk of falling on ice. Even when I'm 5 or 6, she seems ancient to me.
I'm in the third grade going home on the school bus. The sun is out and kids are making the usual racket when the bus passes an old woman walking on the side of the road.
True story. Grandma wasn't a midget, but she was very, very short. When she got married in 1902, she stood 4-foot-10 and weighed 92 pounds. By the time I was growing up in the 1960s, she had shrunk and was probably 4-foot-7, 4-foot-8 at the most.
Grandma with baby Rosalyn. 1903.
Sadie Kaufmann was born in Chicago in 1878, the child of German Jewish immigrants Simon Kaufmann and Rebecca Lehman Kaufmann. Rutherford B. Hayes was president that year. Pancho Villa, Joseph Stalin and George M. Cohan were also born in 1878, Anna Karenina was published, and Thomas Edison patented the phonograph.
Every year, Grandma comes to spend the winter with us in California – an effort to avoid the Chicago winters and the risk of falling on ice. Even when I'm 5 or 6, she seems ancient to me. Her skin is wrinkled and crepey, her walk is slow and lopsided and she's easily bewildered. Grandma doesn't talk much during her visits – mostly because she is nearly deaf.
She wears a transistor hearing aid, which fits in a little sleeve and clips to the bra strap under her dress. A thin raggedy wire twists upward, connecting to the plug in her left ear. This primitive device is barely functional, probably five percent as effective as hearing aids are today. When she talks on the phone, she has to hold the receiver upside down with the earpiece against her bosom.
Grandma, standing right, was 4-foot-10 at her tallest. Left to right: my Aunt Rollie, grandfather David Rafael Guthmann, my Uncle Dave, Grandma and my dad Marvin. 1919.
Given that Grandma hears so little – we have to yell for her to understand — my brothers and I interact with her very little. Her deafness isolates her, and although she doesn't complain it's clear that her isolation saddens and depresses her.
Even at the dinner table, where voices are close and she can read lips, Grandma doesn't say much. Each night as we finish dinner my dad Marv asks her if she's had enough to eat. And each night she gives the same reply — "Yes, I've had plenty" — and then adds a phrase in German: "Sehr gut geschmeckt." It tasted good.
Kids are generally impatient and disrespectful of the elderly, and with Grandma my brothers and I are sometimes awful. In the mid-'60s Granny Goose Potato Chips runs a lot of TV ads, and since Grandma's wobbly gait resembles a duck or a goose, my brothers and I nickname her "The Goose." Sometimes if she enters the living room, we slowly chant the name in a growly, elongated "G-o-o-o-se" that she can't hear. If a friend visits the house and doesn't know about Grandma's hearing, one of us will say in mock indignation, "Grandma, did you just fart?" – loud enough for everyone but Grandma to hear – and relish the shocked reaction.
Oh, we were bad. Years earlier, when my little brother Davey is 4 or 5, my parents go out and leave Grandma to babysit the three of us. We exploit her slowness and poor hearing, her inability to catch us if we run. At one point Grandma is chasing Danny when Davey approaches her from behind and bops her lightly on the head with a dictionary. Danny and I think it's hysterical.
Grandpa Guthmann, my Uncle Dave and Grandma, during World War II.
Sadie K. Guthmann is a child of the late 19th century and by the time I know her in the 1950s and '60s she feels displaced. "I don't belong in this world," she says. She can't understand young people's music or fashion, thinks it's unhealthy that I spend hours watching television in the afternoon when I could be outdoors playing ball. Does she yearn for a world that was simpler, quieter? Do young people seem more reckless and rude than they were in her day? Probably.
Grandma has very little to keep her busy or engaged. She doesn't read much because the type in books and newspapers is too small. Most TV programs are "silly" to her, the big exception being Family Affair with Brian Keith as a bachelor uncle raising three orphans (she adores it). She has no friends she could visit or meet for lunch.
She wants to help my mother with dinner, but she's not steady on her feet. Mom feels bad for her and asks her to dry the dishes, thinking it will help her to feel useful — but Grandma's eyesight isn't good and the dishes get half-dried. The only cooking she ever does are matzoh balls (dense and flavorless) and an apple-and-cinnamon pastry called Apple Charlotte (very sugary, not bad).
Grandma with her oldest grandsons, Donald and Bobby. 1937.
Mostly she naps and goes on walks. Once or twice a day Grandma dons a woven-straw sun hat that ties under her chin and then flattens into a half-moon when she takes it off. She wears a coat or a cardigan, heading off through the neighborhood in her lopsided but stoic, determined walk. She always wears a dress. Not once in her life has Grandma ever worn pants.
As she walks she issues a little tune of sorts, barely audible, that seems to establish a rhythm and propel her forward. It's the same soft, three-count whistle you hear as she walks through the house: "Phoo-phoo-phoo, phoo-phoo-phoo." Like The Little Engine That Could: "I think I can, I think I can." Sometimes if she starts to stumble, she laughs and says, "Look at me, I'm shikhur" – the Yiddish word for drunk.
During her three-month visits, Dad takes Grandma once or twice to temple for Friday night Shabbat services. She wears her best knit dress, her girdle and stockings, her heavy black old-lady shoes. She applies lipstick and rouge, brushes her wispy hair and corrals it in a hairnet. To complete the ensemble, she brings out her ancient fox-fur stole, its taxidermied head and legs still intact.
Grandma likes going to temple. She doesn't know anyone, but given that she grew up with devout parents and volunteered at Temple Emanuel in Chicago where she ran the ladies' sewing circle, Grandma brightens at the opportunity to reconnect with tradition. She especially loves the music. Her hearing is terrible, but the liturgy is familiar enough that once she catches a few notes she jumps right in — singing louder than the rest of the congregation, two or three beats behind. People turn and glance with slight, indulgent smiles.
Only Dad knew Grandma when she was younger, when she raised three children in a modest Chicago flat; when she washed the family's laundry by hand ("That was a big event in our household when Mother got a washing machine"); when she baked the bread and rolls and created a dinner each night on the meager stipend my stingy, autocratic grandfather allowed her.
"Mother never talks about my father any more," Dad says one day, and seems saddened by it. My grandfather, who died in 1953 when I was two, is rarely mentioned by anyone and only much later do I get a sense of who he was and how my grandmother, in the language that's become commonplace since her death, was oppressed by him.
Grandma at our West Covina house. My mom Roberta and our neighbor Betty Blakeney playing cards. 1958 or '59.
"He had a terrible temper and would hit me from one end of the flat where we lived to the other end," Uncle Dave told me once, choking back his tears.
I couldn't appreciate this at the time, but I lost a lot by having a grandmother who couldn't hear. To a great extent she withdrew because of the difficulty of communication. Due to that and my own self-involvement, I never really got to know her — which makes me sad, since she was the only grandparent I knew. One year during her annual visit, I asked her questions about her early life, partly out of curiosity and partly because I sensed she'd appreciate the interest. I wish I'd recorded it, because all I remember is her saying she quit school after the eighth grade ("I was very foolish") and went to work for her father.
Davey, Grandma on a bike and Dad. 1963.
What else might I know if I'd taken more interest? How she met my grandfather? What Chicago was like when she was growing up in the 1880s and 1890s, before the automobile? What prejudice she experienced as a Jew?
I have some letters Grandma wrote me when I was small and fortunately a wealth of photographs that my father and Aunt Rollie kept until they died. I'm grateful for them but I regret, much too late, that I didn't learn more about the stories that go with them.
I like this story for many reasons. I have recently been listening to audio books about people who lived in the era of the Grandma's youth. Life had changed dramatically since then and it is no wonder Grandma, with the added difficulties of hearing loss and physical fragility, felt lost and confused. And, to the boys, she seemed like a visitor from a past about which they were not very interested.
The sad truth is that we don't often catch on in our youth that the stories of the elders around us will one day provide important insights into our own ancestry, lives and times. So, we listen but we don't record, we remember some things but only vaguely. We are left with ghost-like pictures in our minds and wish that we had listened more carefully, asked more questions and done some recording.
Edward's story reminds me of all of this in a poignant way for I am now an elderly grandma, myself, looking at the whole thing from another direction. Ah Life!
Thank you, Edward. I always enjoy your writing!
As you know as a journalist, sometimes not having the story is the story. Here, you've done a great job of giving us what you remember about your grandmother and what you could piece together, supplemented by these priceless photos. In the end we have a sense of her, what she suffered yet the joy she took in her children and grandchildren, that helps to counter the lost mystery of her life. Thanks for sharing this.
This is a wonderful story, Edward, and we learn a lot about your grandmother even though you didn't know her very well. In some ways she reminds me of my grandmother, who wasn't deaf but was often ignored or belittled by her grandchildren. It's lovely that you have so many pictures!
Hope we can all find another place to post our stories, I've enjoyed reading yours.
Thanks a lot, Suzy. I would love to find another place to post stories. Terribly disappointed that Retrospect is folding!
First of all, this is a great title! And it signals courage and a respect for your grandmother in the face of the comment that prompted it. It is just possible that you were kinder to her than you remember. But, oh, your sensitivity and generosity and honesty (as in all of your writing) is throwing us, your readers, into poignant memories of our own grandparents or great aunt and uncles.. A bit of guilt, a bit of sadness and a large dose of wistfulness. I feel that this kind of treatment of the elderly old is pretty much universal due to the self-involvement of even the kindest of children. Eddie G, your writing is so lovely and evocative. This is just the latest example of it. Thank you, dear Author.

The 27 Best Grunge Supergroups + Collaborations
Eduardo Rivadavia
Tim Mosenfelder, Getty Images
Because grunge arose from a relatively condensed geographic area: the city of Seattle, and the surrounding area in the Pacific Northwest, many of the musicians involved were actually longtime acquaintances, often friends (or, at worst friendly rivals), as well as bandmates at one time or another. So once the Seattle scene exploded to national and then international fame, it was only natural that those same musicians would find solace from the media storm in each other's creative company, while doing what they do best: write and play music.
The resulting music was as incestuous as it was inspired, sometimes achieving no small commercial success for a select number of these short-lived ensembles, sometimes not, but almost always giving fans a bundle of alternate musical realities to enjoy and ponder exciting "what ifs."
While the parameters of what is and isn't "grunge" have changed with the evolving musical landscape, we decided to look at that exhilarating period in musical history and reminisce about some of the many supergroups and temporary collaborations that came from it (and, in some cases, still exist today) in one form or another. Check them out below.

No doubt Dubai is an expensive city. The city is flush with richly-appointed attractions that cost a good deal to experience fully. Take the Burj Khalifa for example – you have to choose whether you want the At The Top experience for $100 or the observatory deck at the 148th floor at $200 per person. As you can see, nothing is cheap in Dubai. But here's the crux. It is still possible to travel Dubai on a budget and see and experience Dubai's top attractions also on budget. How? Read on and you'll know how backpacking Dubai is possible!
Look for direct flights to Dubai from your area, via any UAE airline. You'll find that tickets are much cheaper if you travel by a UAE airline, as the UAE encourages travel to their country. Here's how to travel to Dubai on a budget. Check out the following low budget airlines: Wizzair, FlyDubai, Emirates, Alitalia, KLM, Air France and so on.
Dubai's beaches are all paid-entry, but you can enjoy the sun from the Jumeirah Beach for a few dirhams. Enjoy an amazing unblemished view of the world's only 7-star hotel, the Burj Al Arab from the beach all for free! Also, you can take the metro till the Palm Jumeirah Islands and then take the monorail from there to the islands. Explore the islands and the Atlantis water park to your heart's content.
Stroll around Bur Dubai and Deira's souqs. You don't have to buy anything but you can soak up the sheer atmosphere of these two souqs with their spices, carpets, Arabian gear, pashmina shawls and more.
Explore Archive Dubai, which hosts free open-air concerts and exhibits.
The Scene Club hosts free movie screenings every month.
In March every year, an arts festival called Sikka Dubai conducts free dance performances and concerts all over Dubai.
Explore the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood near Bur Dubai. This is a well-preserved historical area, where the few houses and buildings are all made of sand, kept cool by the conventional wind towers.
Spend some time at the Al Fahidi Museum and the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding to learn how Dubai progressed from being a fishing village to the world's most enviable glamourous city.
Cross the creek on an abra, the traditional boat that's been ferrying people across the creek for ages. Plus, it costs you just one 1 Dirham for a thrilling ride on this vessel!
Explore Dubai's Camel Museum without paying anything. You'll come out with a better understanding of what camels mean to the locals.
Explore Dubai Mall, the largest shopping centre in the world, which has more than 1200 retail outlets and thousands of food stalls. The Dubai Underwater Aquarium is within the Dubai Mall and you have to pay to experience it, but why bother? Right in the lounge itself, one huge wall is dedicated to the aquarium – you can see every deadly shark and ray right through the glass wall! Be sure to watch the delightful fountain show at the foot of the Dubai Mall for free.
Indian and Pakistani restaurants in Dubai offer food on the cheap. You can always get a plate of rice and curry at excellently cheap prices. Try Shetty Lunch Home Restaurant near Talal Super Market, which serves Chinese, Goan and North Indian food.
Al Ibrahimi Palace on Karama Food Street is well known for its chicken qorma and other Pakistani delicacies on the cheap.
Chinese Connection is another restaurant, in Century Mall that you'll like for its pricing and excellent food.
Ravi Restaurant in Al Satwa is the place for you if you're looking for really cheap Indian and Pakistani food.
Try restaurants such as Zaatar Z Weit and Zaroob for cheap eats on the go.
If you shop at local markets and souqs instead of at Dubai's fabulous malls, you can save a lot of money and get some great deals besides! Don't forget to shop at the Deira and Bur Dubai souqs; you can not only shop here but you can also bargain. Karama Market sells gifts and souvenirs cheaply, so head there when it's time to buy something for the family.
Moving around in Dubai is pretty easy on the pocket if you get yourself a Nol card, a Metro map and a bus route map. With this, you can use the bus service and the Metro to every point in Dubai. If you're traveling to a place that's not serviced by either the bus or the Metro, use a taxi but watch the meter. It's a good idea to choose a hotel that's right beside a Metro station. Sign up for the innovative rental bike scheme. Dab on some sunscreen and, for 15 dirhams for 30 minutes, enjoy touring the city on your bike at your pace.
on how to get around in Dubai.
If you want to save tons, travel off season to Dubai, during the summer months of April to August. This is when the sun is the hottest and the airline fares are the cheapest. You can beat the hot sun, there are ways, but money saved is money saved.
Always book your flight in advance, at least a few months, so that you get the best deal possible.
Change your currency via currency exchangers in Dubai if you want to get the best rate.
If you want to visit any tourist attraction like the Burj Khalifa, make sure you buy your tickets online much in advance.
If you're traveling to Dubai on a budget, you'll need to forget about taking hot air balloon rides and flying in a helicopter to catch the scenic views that pass by below. There's much of Dubai that you will have to forgo, but the heart and soul of Dubai are still there to be experienced no matter what your budget. The rest if just frills on the top. Dubai is worth whatever compromise you make, so go ahead and make your compromises and enjoy this fabulous, magnificent city.

How Soon Will Today's Automobile Technologies Become Yesterday's Old-School Gadgets?
The usage of technology in the current vehicles is proceeding in a alarming pace for a number of drivers, and yet it can take years until it has all overlooked…
It's strange to consider this in this manner, however the newest, greatest car tech is all, naturally, fresh in a fresh car or truck.
Consider the normal U.S. vehicle in the trail will be all about 1-5 yrs of age. This usually means the vast majority of those drivers traveling is going to have an automobile that is more than just seven to ten yrs old. Some drivers have the most recent stuff while some have been "getting by" on tech from the previous century cnh definitiva aparecida de goiania.
Bear in mind that period of innocence, roughly ten decades ago, once we drove V-8 powered vehicles with gas economy of roughly 16 mph? We needed a tape deck and maybe even a 6-disk CD player. On the trendiest gadget you might buy, and also yet in merely several models, was that the OnStar telephone services!
That is all changed. It's to the stage whereby Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) systems are somewhat standard, at which exceptionally efficient smaller motors get a lot better than 30 mph and even the CD player could possibly be on the road outside. Smartphone technology is currently leading industry. Clients are getting to be increasing reliant on those mobiles and are utilized for their own skills. They desire exactly the exact same type of functionality inside their own vehicles.
Bluetooth connectivity which makes it possible for a motorist to produce and receive telephone calls wirelessly would be the objective of nearly every manufacturer. Further functionality, such as flowing music or online access is expanding very quickly in to the automobile marketplace. It sounds to get greater performance from your own automobile, simply start looking for a brand new App in your own mobile phone!
At a historical perspective, the very first windshield wipers emerged in afew autos at 1903. The very first vehicle FM radio recipients were first introduced in 1952. The auto air purifier eventually told grip as fresh technology in 1953. Just roughly 1 / 2 of those autos in your way by 1969 had ac. That means you may see there's a time by which new technologies have been accepted, slowly integral after which considered "standard equipment."
The ancient 1970's brought us that the 8track cassette player, yielding into the CB radio or even the tape tape player. OnStar just was available on afew GM units in 1996. We'd video cassette players who evolved to DVD players and currently there are flowing movies and TV shows from "the cloud" readily available for the children to look at.
It appears like vehicles at the 21st Century have grown to
more computer-oriented. Wrench-turning mechanisms are fast changing to techno-geeks.
Look how much we've come in only a couple of decades. Today's new technologies consist of lane tracking, adaptive cruise control, blindspot tracking, back view cameras, cars which talk with a another and so on, self-driving autos. GM and Ford Motor Company have put their own goal to get robotically powered vehicles readily available to the general public from 2020.
Today's vehicles have been increasingly being assembled with the most useful fortified steels, the greatest recycled substances and also the many effective motors (or electric motors). Today's vehicles are all safe, efficient and much more pleasurable to drive. Plus it seems just like the objective is to continue advancing in each one of the areas.

Astract:
The drive for automation in industry and transport results in an increasing demand for cooperative systems that form cyber-physical systems of systems. One of the characteristic features of such systems is dynamic reconfiguration, which facilitates emergent behavior to respond to internal variations as well as to environmental changes. By means of cooperation, systems of systems can achieve greater efficiency regarding fulfillment of their goals. These goals are not limited to performance, but must also include safety aspects to assure a system of systems to operate safely in various configurations. In this paper, we present a reconfiguration approach which includes consideration of dynamic modular safety cases. During operation, configuration of system of systems will adapt to changes, selecting the most appropriate service composition from the set of possible compositions derived from blueprints. Variations of service compositions lead to changes in the associated safety cases, which are evaluated at run-time and taken into account during configuration selection. With this approach, safe operation of cyber-physical systems of systems with run-time reconfiguration can be guaranteed.

Boeing reports more 737 MAX cancelations as CEO offers grim outlook
Boeing's CEO said the company's medium-term production pipeline remains stable despite the airline industry's dire state
Boeing reported another round of 737 MAX cancelations Tuesday as the company's CEO warned the industry downturn in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic could force a major airline out of business.
Data on the aviation giant's website showed 108 orders for the 737 MAX were canceled in April, and Boeing also downgraded contracts for another 101 of the planes, an accounting move that lowered its backlog to below 5,000 planes for the first time since 2013 and indicated weakening demand for its aircraft.
The MAX has been grounded since March 2019 following two deadly crashes, but demand for the plane, like other commercial aircraft, has also been hammered by the massive slump in airline traffic caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Major carriers have taken thousands of planes out of service as overall US air travel has shrunk to less than one-tenth of its volume before the outbreak.
Boeing Chief Executive David Calhoun said in an interview on NBC that he expects airlines to trim headcount, and it was "most likely" a major US carrier would go out of business.
"Traffic levels will not be back to 100 percent, they won't even be back to 25. Maybe by the end of the year, we approach 50," Calhoun said.
Calhoun was asked whether he foresaw additional Boeing job cuts after the company announced last month it was trimming its headcount by 10 percent and lowering its production rate on leading aircraft.
"We really do believe there's stability in there," Calhoun said of the company's "medium-term" production outlook over roughly three years. The interview was taped Monday.
After shutting down plane production in late March, Boeing has resumed manufacturing most commercial aircraft while employing social distancing and other safety measures to prevent COVID-19 outbreaks.
Calhoun expressed confidence in a long-term recovery, but said it would take three-to-five years for the industry to reach the levels of 2019.
"Apocalyptic does actually accurately describe the moment," Calhoun said. "I don't think it describes the recovery, and I don't think it describes medium- or long-term for the airline industry or aviation in general."
Shares of Boeing fell 1.4 percent to $127.08 in afternoon trading.

Status epilepticus (SE) is considered a neurological emergency. Left untreated (or undertreated), prolonged seizures can cause permanent neurological injury or death. Rapid treatment must be initiated. If initial agents fail, it may be necessary to induce an iatrogenic coma. In any case, the person in status epilepticus must be closely watched, and often requires continuous EEG in order to confirm that the seizures have stopped not only clinically but electrically as well.
Epilepsy is a group of disorders characterized by electrical discharges in the brain. There are no established factors that bring on an epileptic seizure that are common to all patients. However, visual phenomena such as flickering lights or sunbursts, are frequently cited by people with epilepsy as preceding an attack. In certain patients the likelihood of having a seizure increases with stress, fatigue, insufficient food intake and/or the failure to take prescribed medications.
The Status Epilepticus are classified as follows:
Generalized Convulsive Status Epilepticus (GCSE): Overt (70 percent of GCSE): This consists of continuous tonic and/or clonic activity with impairment or loss of awareness.
Subtle (30 percent of GCSE): This is less obvious than the overt type, consisting of facial twitching, nystagmoid eye movements, or subtle jerking of the extremities.
Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus (NCSE): Complex Partial Status Epilepticus: This type occurs in patients with a history of partial seizures, but can also arise as a result of acute injury (like a new stroke). This type may cause focal motor manifestations (like nystagmus), but can also cause more subtle findings such as confusion, personality changes or psychosis. Absence (Typical) Status Epilepticus: This occurs in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy. As with complex partial status, the clinical symptoms can be subtle, consisting of confusion or personality changes.
The exact cause of epilepsy is unknown. Hereditary factors have been suggested as a possible cause in essential epilepsy. Some types of epilepsy occur as a symptom of other disorders, while others are thought to be caused by head injuries. In some families there may be a genetic predisposition to epilepsy, but scientists do not understand the hereditary factors that may make a person vulnerable to getting seizures.
The most common causes of recurring seizures in infants include: genetic inborn errors of metabolism; other metabolic disorders; developmental brain defects; injuries occurring a few months before birth or a few weeks after birth (perinatal); and/or a severe lack of oxygen (hypoxia). In children the typical causes of new-onset epileptic seizures can include: inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and the spinal cord (meningitis); inflammation of the brain (encephalitis); brain abscesses and/or tumors; exposure to poisons or toxins; diseases that affect the blood vessel system (vascular diseases); degenerative diseases of the brain; and/or head trauma.
Epileptic seizures that occur in infants or children as a result of an abnormally high fever (febrile seizures) generally do not recur. In adults the beginning of epileptic seizures can sometimes be associated with a brain tumor, trauma to the head, stroke, cerebrovascular disease and/or degenerative brain disease. However, in many cases the cause cannot be identified.
Affected Populations
It is estimated that 150,000 people develop epilepsy each year in the United States. Per the MMWR report from the CDC, the overall prevalence for Epilepsy is 4.6/1000 in the general population while it is 4.1/1000 for population less than 15 years in age. The incidence of Epilepsy is more predominant in the extremes of age i.e. more frequent among children and older adults. Approximately 15 percent of people who have epilepsy have Status Epilepticus. Combined together approximately two to three million Americans have epilepsy but the majority of affected individuals are seizure free due to effective medications.
Related Disorders
Symptoms of the following disorders can be similar to those of Status Epilepticus. Comparisons may be useful for a differential diagnosis:
Wilson's Disease is a rare inherited disorder that affects the liver, eyes and neuromuscular system. Symptoms develop due to the excessive accumulation of copper in body tissues, particularly the liver, brain and eyes. Early diagnosis and treatment of Wilson's Disease may prevent serious long-term disabilities. Neuromuscular symptoms of Wilson's Disease generally appear between the ages of 12 and 32 years. These symptoms may include drooling, joint pain (dysarthria), impaired speech (dysphasia), lack of muscle coordination, tremors, involuntary jerky muscle movements, muscle rigidity and double vision. Other late symptoms of Wilson's Disease may include a decrease in cognitive abilities, behavioral changes, kidney stones, depression and other psychiatric disturbances. (For more information on this disorder, choose "Wilson's" as your search term in the Rare Disease Database.)
Kok Disease (Hyperexplexia) is a very rare inherited disorder of the neurological system. People with Kok Disease have an excessive startle reaction to sudden and/or unexpected noise, movement or touch. When the individual with Kok Disease is startled, the head may arch back and there may be jerking muscle movements (myoclonic jerks). When startled the individual may also fall to the ground in a rigid position. Some people with Kok Disease also experience seizures. (For more information on this disorder, choose "Kok Disease" or "Hyperexplexia" as your search term in the Rare Disease Database.)
Myoclonus is a neurological movement disorder in which a skeletal muscle undergoes sudden, involuntary contractions resulting in jerky movements. There are 3 types of Myoclonus: Intention, rhythmical, and arrhythmic. Intention myoclonus is characterized by episodes of involuntary muscle contractions that are triggered by voluntary movements, such as a purposeful action. In arrhythmic myoclonus, muscle jerks are arrhythmic and sudden. The muscle jerking may be confined to a single muscle or involve the all of the skeletal muscles on one or both sides of the body. The stimulus for the onset of an episode may be sensory (visual, auditory, and/or tactile), or it may be fatigue, stress or anxiety. An extreme startle response may also be present. Rhythmical (segmental) myoclonus is characterized by very rapid and frequent muscle jerks. In contrast to Arrhythmic Myoclonus, this type of Myoclonus is not relieved by sleep and is not triggered by sudden stimuli or voluntary movements. Myoclonic muscle jerks may sometimes be confused with the muscle jerks and rigidity that occur in some forms of Epilepsy. (For more information on this disorder, choose "Myoclonus" as your search term in the Rare Disease Database.)
Narcolepsy is a rare neurological sleep disorder characterized by extreme unnatural drowsiness during the day, sudden loss of voluntary muscle tone (cataplexy), hallucinations, sleep paralysis, and/or disrupted sleep during the night. Symptoms usually begin between the ages of 10 and 20 years. The development and severity of symptoms vary greatly among patients. Exaggerated daytime drowsiness is usually the first symptom. The person with Narcolepsy may describe a feeling of sleepiness, tiredness, lack of energy, a "sleep attack", and/or the inability to resist sleep. People with Narcolepsy who have cataplexy can fall asleep so suddenly that they appear to drop to the floor unconscious. In sleep paralysis, the person with Narcolepsy want to move but cannot do so. (For more information on this disorder, choose "Narcolepsy" as your search term on the Rare Disease Database.)
Standard Therapies
SE is treated with anticonvulsant drugs that attempt to prevent and control seizures. The drugs that are currently used include phenytoin, valproic acid, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, clonazepam, ethosuximide (Zarontin), primidone, acteazolamide, paraldehyde, trimethadione, corticotropin and corticosteroids. Brain surgery for epilepsy that is caused by a brain tumor or drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy may be tried after medications have failed to stop seizures. Surgery is generally not performed until other treatment methods have failed. The success rate for such surgeries is approximately 55 to 70 percent.
It is very important to protect the epilepsy patient from self-injury during a seizure. Protective measures should include clearing the area of any object that is hard or sharp, loosening tight clothing and placing a flat, soft object under the head. The patient should be turned on the side and if possible something soft and flat (such as a pad or wallet) may be placed between the teeth. Restraint is not advised. The administration of artificial respiration should be attempted only if breathing does not start after the seizure has stopped. When the seizure is over, the patient should be allowed to sleep or be helped home if he or she seems confused. If the patient wants to sleep, the head and shoulders should be raised.
It is possible that some people with epilepsy who have had no seizures during an extended period of time (several years) may reduce or discontinue anticonvulsant medications under close supervision by a doctor.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the anti-convulsant drug Felbamate for use in hard-to-treat epilepsy such as Lennox-Gastaut. One of the main advantages of this drug is that it is not a sedative, so it will not make the user feel sleepy or sluggish. Felbamate is manufactured by Wallace Laboratories of Cranbury Run, NJ, and will be marketed under the brand name Felbatol. Due to occurrences of rare but serious side effects from this drug, physicians should contact the manufacturer or FDA before prescribing.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved the drug Lamotrigine (Lamictal) for the treatment of hard-to-control partial seizures. The drug is manufactured by Burroughs-Wellcome Company.
The drug fosphenytoin sodium (cerebyx) has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of epilepsy. Fosphenytoin sodium is manufactured by Warner-Lambert.
The drug tipiramate (Topamax) has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of epilepsy in addition to other medications. Topiramate is manufactured by Ortho-McNeil. In addition, Neurontin (gabapentin) has also been approved for use in the treatment of epilepsy.
The drug Diastat (diazepam suppository rectal gel) has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of epilepsy. Diastat is manufactured by Athena Neuosciences Inc.
The drug carbamazepine extended release capsules (Carbatrol) has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of epilepsy. Carbatrol is manufactured by Shire Pharmaceuticals.

Holidays late in the year in different world religions have the theme of Light: the return of Light, celebration of Light, or various miracles associated with the victory, renewal, rebirth or incarnation of the Light here in the physical plane. For those following the Path of the Masters, it is experiencing the Inner Light in meditation that is the greatest Light and miracle of all and the true spiritual meaning of Divali. Much Light to all. Happy Divali!
"While Diwali is popularly known as the "Festival of Lights", the most significant spiritual meaning behind it is "the awareness of the Inner Light". Central to Hindu philosophy (primarily the Yoga, Vedanta, and Samkhya schools of Hindu philosophy) is the belief that there is something beyond the physical body and mind which is pure, infinite, and eternal, called the Atman. The celebration of Diwali as the "victory of good over evil", refers to the light of higher knowledge dispelling all ignorance, the ignorance that masks one's true nature, not as the body, but as the unchanging, infinite, immanent and transcendent reality. With this awakening comes compassion and the awareness of the oneness of all things (higher knowledge). This brings ananda (joy or peace). Just as we celebrate the birth of our physical being, Diwali is the celebration of this Inner Light.

Virgin Islands National Park's hills, valleys and beaches are breath-taking. However, within its 7,000 plus acres on the island of St. John is the complex history of civilizations - both free and enslaved - dating back more than a thousand years, all who utilized the land and the sea for survival.
Ferry service for passengers and vehicles is the only means of getting to and from St. John.
Once on St. John there are no designated entrances to Virgin Islands National Park, although two main routes will provide access to many areas. Route 20 (North Shore Road) runs from the ferry dock past the Visitors Center to the most contiguous part of the Park, including most beaches and the campgrounds as well. Large and small tracts of private lands are found within the authorized boundary of the Park.

Headline: Running Scared and Taking the SAT with Them
The much venerated and widely depended upon SAT is looking a little shabby these days. This is partly due to the knee-jerk reaction of colleges and universities toward their academic rankings. Oh, those academic rankings – top of the heap, head of the class – they matter. There is no doubt that they do. They matter to potential students, their parents, their guidance counselors, the brightest and best of professors and perhaps most importantly, wealthy alumni donors.
They matter so much, in fact, that a little underhanded dealing is not outside the realm of reality in the hallowed halls of academia. And this is not a new dilemma; rather, it is morphing into a pervasive one. As far back as 2009, Baylor University in Waco Texas, no stranger to scandal, was called on the carpet for offering financial payment to already admitted freshmen to retake the SAT to improve their scores. The monetary prize was a $300 credit which could be used at the campus bookstore AND $1,000 a year in financial aid for any freshman who raised his score a minimum of 50 points. So what does that do to the credibility and dignity of the SAT and scores achieved prior to admission – nothing good. Some things shouldn't be for sale, folks. We could all do better if we get to take a test over and over again and get money for doing it. Money talks. It tends to be a powerful incentive to do a lot of things, some of them not so ethical.
Baylor, in the meantime, maintained the stance that it had done nothing wrong. It even published the fact that its freshman score rose by a conglomerate 10 points which helped the university's U.S. News and World Report rankings. Critics were not impressed. The National Association for College Admission Counseling called Baylor out and demanded an examination of SAT scores and how they were being used in college admissions and distribution of financial aid. The question of fairness was raised. A lot of Baylor sophomores, juniors and seniors would probably have liked to have been on the receiving end of a hefty bookstore credit and $1000 in aid too, but that circumstance was not afforded to them.
But enough about Baylor. Let's fast forward to 2016 and all things trendy, relevant and juicy. First, you should know that Baylor is not the only college or university that has fallen victim to SAT fear along the way. Emory University in Atlanta, among a significant number of others, was embroiled in some similar faulty decision making a while back, and a lot of presidents, provosts and deans seem to be SAT nervous these days. What are they afraid of? Can Johnny not read, write and reason? If not, how did he even pass the SAT and get admitted to college? Well, here's the thing: Renaissance Learning reported recently that research it had conducted determined that the average college freshman reads at the seventh grade level. Let's pause for a moment while that sinks in. Can you say, "Ouch!" That's right – seventh grade level. The very next question to bombard your psyche should be, "Does that mean the SAT is written at the seventh grade reading level?" Well, the Kaplan prep program is not busy and successful for no good reason.
Renaissance Learning's latest report on American education included a quote from Dr. Sandra Stotsky of the University of Arkansas about both college preparatory standards at the secondary level and requirements and demands at the collegiate entry level which she considered "inferior". Dr. Stotsky found that freshmen entering colleges and universities had not been prepared with materials that offered sufficient "difficulty and complexity" and that university professors weren't even requiring freshmen to actually read at the college level. Which is probably judicious since – let me remember now why; oh yes – A LOT OF THEM CAN'T.
So good guys that they are, the College Board redesigned its SAT College Entrance Exam and rolled it out in March of this year. The primary, indicative remark from students taking the new version is that it is "straightforward". Might that be code for not difficult or complex? One report about the test mentioned that it focused less on vocabulary words. Could it be that students reading on a seventh grade level do not possess a plethora of them? Additionally, students do not lose points for guessing the wrong answer on the new version. This smacks, of course, of multiple guess instead of reasoned, logical , informed multiple choice. With this current version, there are fewer questions: 154 down from the previous 171. Also, students now have a choice to write the essay or not though, admittedly, Kaplan continues to encourage students to write the essay and advises them to write a "good, structured essay" and to vary "word choice and sentence structure". Here's hoping they can.
David Coleman, President and Chief Executive Office of the College Board, was quoted as saying that "the redesign of the test is to make it much more like the work that kids are already doing in high school". First of all, a "kid" is a baby goat and the whole point of the SAT has always been for colleges and universities to have a sound, credible, reliable measurement of a student's fitness for work at the college level and his potential to remain in college and ultimately be successful there.
Colleges and universities want high academic rankings across the board, including incoming SAT scores. Alumni want that too…and parents…and sought after professors. The College Board evidently understands this. Enough said.

Ai Weiwei in New York City: An Interview with Kelly Tsai
Kelly Tsai is a spoken word poet, writer, performer and director, whose latest work AI WEI WEI: THE SEED is an exploration of Chinese contemporary artist Ai Weiwei's early life in New York City. The performance traces the years before Weiwei became internationally renowned for his provocative, political art. Apogee Editor-at-large Melody Nixon talked with Tsai about her upcoming show and whether art and politics can ever be separated.
Melody Nixon (MN): How did you first come across Ai Weiwei's work?
Kelly Tsai (KT): Back in 2012 I was in Taipei, Taiwan, and I saw Ai Weiwei's exhibit at the contemporary fine arts museum there. When I was walking through the exhibit I saw all these photos of street corners that I knew in Brooklyn and the East Village and I was like, "wait a second, what are these?" Then I realized that Ai Weiwei had actually spent much of his 20's and 30's (1981-1993) in NYC as a young artist, which I thought was really interesting.
MN: That inspired you to investigate his life story?
KT: Yes. With a little more research, I found out that his father was a political poet and he also was friends with many important political poets both in the U.S. and China, like Allen Ginsberg and Bei Dao.
MN: How did the idea for a performance piece grow from that?
KT: As a spoken word poet, the ways that political poetry shapes and moves people are always interesting to me. So when I saw that the exhibit at Brooklyn Museum was going up — Ai Weiwei: According to What? — I was really passionate about creating this piece that can help New Yorkers see Ai Weiwei for the New Yorker that he is, and how the spirit of NYC/East Village and also political poetry has had a global impact through him.
MN: You connected with his story because he was a young artist in NYC, of the Chinese diaspora, and he had political roots, as well as a political practice. Do you consider yourself a political artist?
KT: Coming up in the spoken word poetry scene, poetry and politics have always been deeply intertwined. So many people from marginalized perspectives who don't feel like they have a voice come to this art form. For me a very personal desire — to express how I felt through poetry — has allowed me to connect with people all over the world. Diaspora to me is the fact that even though all of our experiences may be so different, there is some kind of resonance based on family roots coming from one place. I think it's an important word, and a beautiful one – that we are all a part of something beyond where we presently are.
MN: What do you think of the term artivist?
KT: Hmmm… artivist… I think there's a lot of different ways people can integrate arts and activism. I don't think one term would necessarily be accurate for everyone who does politically engaged work.
MN: Please elaborate. What are other ways people can integrate arts and activism?
KT: I think there are some folks who are artists who create work related to political themes and issues. There are some folks who create work with communities to create a community generated artistic product. There are some folks who connect their creative work to legislation, i.e. in the case of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. Then, some folks are artists who create work related to political themes and issues – like Suzanne Collins, who wrote the Hunger Games as an anti-war book.
MN: Can art and politics ever really be separated, though?
KT: I agree there's always a political component to what artists do, but some artists are active and interested in engaging in the politics that are raised by their work, and others are not. So I think there's a difference.
MN: I am thinking of a quote by Kiese Laymon, which we used in the introduction to the latest issue of Apogee. He said that choosing to separate politics from art (literature, in this case) is a function of privilege. What do you think about that idea?
KT: I think to be able to have enough language around privilege to identify it as privilege is also privilege. I just did an amazing collaboration with the dance company Urban Bush Women for NYC Summerstage, and I was having long convo's with Jawole, their founder, choreographer, and artistic director. She was mentioning that the dynamic of creating art is so different when you feel that the lives of your community are on the line, which I totally agree with.
MN: That's a great point. It seems to me you'll be engaging with a lot of different communities in your latest project, AI WEI WEI: THE SEED – local and international, contemporary and historic.
KT: Absolutely. Hybridity is a huge part of all of our experiences. Especially here in NYC.
MN: You're a poet, performer and director. You combine all of these elements in the show this week. What can viewers expect to see?
KT: The Seed is a combination of spoken word, music, dance, and video. The text is a combination of 'found poems' from Ai Weiwei's blogs and interviews, meaning his words have been re-edited and re-arranged into poems to tell the story of his life that is less known than the last few years where he's had a lot of media attention.
MN: How will that look visually?
KT: In real time on the stage that means there are three live performers doing text and movement and two musicians (one violinist, one on MPC/drum pad). We are blessed to be in the Auditorium space at Brooklyn Museum, so there is a big projection screen that will have different kinds of video illustrating the mood and feeling of his life throughout the majority of the text.
MN: And the text is spoken?
KT: There are spoken word poems synthesizing the emotional experience of Ai Weiwei's life and also our relationships to the themes brought up for each of us as artists of the Chinese diaspora living in NYC.
MN: You have an amazing lineup of collaborators on the project: Jessica Chen (Choreography), Jason Kao Hwang (Music), Adriel Luis (Spoken Word, Video, Music), and Kit Yan (Spoken Word). How has it been working with these folks?
KT: It's been so exciting to be in the collaboration process with them and feel everything that they bring to the project, whether it's deep roots in spoken word in the case of Kit and Adriel, or Jason's experience as an experimental jazz violinist and his wisdom having been a part of the NYC loft scene in the 80's and 90's, or Jessica's incredible choreographic intelligence… it's been really fun and also a very personally driven process. Through Ai Weiwei's story I do think we've gotten to know ourselves, and what it means to do artistic work you're passionate about.
MN: After all this work, why hold the show for just one night?
KT: In this era of digitally driven, time-shifted entertainment, I think people can't really grasp that this could happen one time and then perhaps never again, which is the beauty and strangeness of live performance. You can't DVR it. You can't just replay the link. We are actual real human people who want to share an evening in person with you, telling this amazing story of a person who has really fought to understand who he is in the world and how he can contribute to the world in a way that's consistent to his spirit and his soul.
MN: Ai WeiWei really is an inspiring figure for politically motivated artists.
KT: Yes. And I think this show is for anyone who's ever questioned their place in the world, who's ever wanted to find the courage to stand up for what they believe in, who's ever tried to make sense of all their different experiences in their lives to create one cohesive whole.
AI WEI WEI: THE SEED runs for one night, this Thursday July 24th at the Brooklyn Museum. Doors at 630pm, performance at 730pm. Free to museum members or tickets are $18 from Museum Tix. RSVP on FaceBook. For more information click here.

Examining COVID-19 Vaccination Efforts Around The World
By Daniel Estrin,
Diaa Hadid, Julie McCarthy
How soon you have access to a COVID vaccine depends, in part, on what country you live in. We have a survey this morning of several countries. Vaccines are, of course, spreading now across the United States, though a bit more slowly than Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar expected a few weeks ago.
ALEX AZAR: By the end of December, we believe there will be enough vaccine distributed to get a first dose vaccination for 20 million people.
INSKEEP: At the start of this week, it was more like 2.1 million. In the U.K., officials have now authorized an additional vaccine, though concerns about it may slow its approval in the United States. Now let's hear from three other nations, Israel, Pakistan and the Philippines. NPR's Daniel Estrin is in Jerusalem. NPR's Diaa Hadid is in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad. And NPR's Julie McCarthy covers the Philippines. Hello to all of you.
JULIE MCCARTHY, BYLINE: Hello.
DANIEL ESTRIN, BYLINE: Good morning.
DIAA HADID, BYLINE: Good morning.
INSKEEP: And, Daniel, we'll start in Israel. How are vaccinations going there?
ESTRIN: Well, so far, Israel is outpacing every other country in the world in vaccinations per capita. It is a major drive seven days a week, even on the Sabbath, which is unusual. They're starting with people over 60. But even younger Israelis are getting appointments already. And the goal is to vaccinate a fourth of Israel citizens by the end of next month, including all of the elderly. And this, Steve, is doable. Israel is small, just under 9 million citizens. Half a million have already received the Pfizer vaccine. And Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, says Israel may be the first to conquer the virus.
INSKEEP: What about Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and in Gaza, which is in its own kind of status?
ESTRIN: Well, Israel is not providing vaccines to them. Israel is the occupying power in the West Bank. Israel and Egypt blockade Gaza. But Israel says the Palestinian Authority is the one that's responsible for vaccinating their own people. Palestinian officials and aid groups both say that both sides have responsibility. Of course, Palestinians and Israelis interact. So it's in everyone's interest for everyone to be vaccinated. But at the moment, the Palestinian health ministry is on their own. I spoke with them. They are scrambling to try to buy vaccines.
At the moment, the only assurances they have is that they're going to get some vaccines through the World Health Organization's program COVAX, which is giving vaccines to poorer countries. But at first, the Palestinians are only going to have enough vaccines from them for 3% of the Palestinian population. So 3% compared to 25% of Israelis.
INSKEEP: Now let's go to Pakistan, which is not a small country, one of the most populous nations on Earth. And Diaa Hadid is there. What's the timeline where you are?
HADID: Right. It looks, actually, pretty fast for a developing country. So Pakistan aims to start vaccinating an estimated 10 million health care workers starting in early April. That's more than the entire population of Israel. They've purchased the Pfizer vaccine for that cohort. But it needs to be kept below freezing. Pakistan doesn't have the resources to do that. So a health worker here tells me that the World Health Organization will provide the dry ice they need to ship it out. But here's where it gets interesting. Wealthy Pakistanis will be able to purchase the vaccine individually starting from the second quarter of 2021, because that's when the government will allow private companies to import the vaccine for sale.
Now, not many other companies - other countries I know are doing this. But in Pakistan, the health sector is really under-resourced. So this relieves the government of taking care of its wealthy citizens. As for everyone else, they'll have to wait for the second or even third quarter of next year. And that's when they're waiting for 88 million doses of a Chinese vaccine to come in. That still won't cover the entire population. But they're hoping by then that they'll secure deals with other companies. So this process won't take a few months. It'll likely take a year or even more.
INSKEEP: Already seeing the difference - the dramatic difference - in timelines between Israel, which is a matter of weeks to get a quarter of the population, and you're saying in April is when they'll get 10 million doses in Pakistan. Let's bring the Philippines into this picture now with Julie McCarthy. What's the plan there?
MCCARTHY: Well, it's later still, Steve. The Philippines, first of all, is going for herd immunity. It's vaccinating some 60 million rather than the entire 110 million population. And the rollout won't be until May of 2021, front liners likely sooner. There's a big dispute about whether the health ministry fumbled a deal with Pfizer that would have landed the vaccine in the country earlier. But the government regrouped. The Philippines is on the verge of securing 80 million doses of vaccines, all from Western manufacturers, including Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson. That's a big deal because President Rodrigo Duterte wanted Russian and Chinese vaccines. But China hasn't disclosed data from its clinical trials. And the Philippine FDA wants that. And there's also no word on any deal with COVAX.
INSKEEP: What is COVAX?
MCCARTHY: COVAX is, really, the world's only mechanism to make sure that all countries get access to doses for their front liners and their most vulnerable people. It's about equity. When the rich countries have laid claim to so much of the vaccine, COVAX pools resources to buy and distribute a portfolio of vaccines for low-income countries so that they don't lose by betting on a single vaccine that may fail. It focuses on the world's 92 poorest countries. And it's already got commitments for 2 billion - that's with a B - doses of vaccines. That's pretty impressive. Benjamin Schreiber with UNICEF is one of the leads on distributing the vaccine. He says giving access to everyone is sound medically and morally.
BENJAMIN SCHREIBER: There are, in my view, clear ethical reasons why we do need to make sure that also countries that are less wealthy do have access to these vaccines. And there is a huge return on investment on this.
INSKEEP: OK. So that's COVAX. In the little bit of time we have left, guys, I want to just ask about receptiveness to the vaccine. Daniel - a sentence or two - start with you, are Israelis eager to accept the vaccine as real?
ESTRIN: Most are. But there are lower numbers among ultra-Orthodox Hasidic Jews and Palestinian Arab villages in Israel. Both of those communities skeptical and also not enough vaccines getting to the Arab villages right now.
INSKEEP: Diaa, what about Pakistan?
HADID: Well, here, we've had militants who've killed dozens of polio vaccinators over the past decade, including two in January. So health officials here say that they're already worried about the response to the COVID-19 vaccine because there's been so much misinformation building up around it already. They're already trying to marshal clerics to help with vaccine acceptance.
INSKEEP: Julie, just a couple of words.
MCCARTHY: Well, a few years back, children died after receiving a dengue vaccine. And many Filipinos are nervous. But support for a COVID-19 vaccine is creeping up.
INSKEEP: OK. Thanks very much.

Today, at Cisco Live, San Diego, we announced the Cisco Open Network Environment or Cisco "ONE – the industry's most comprehensive approach for network programmability. It is a strategic and ambitious initiative from Cisco to continue to make networks more open, programmable and application-aware. And yes, it includes elements of software-defined networking as well.
With this announcement, we intend to put to rest all speculations and rumors on Cisco's strategy for network programmability (including SDN) and put the focus back where it belongs – on our customers.
We had discussed about our customer use-cases, Cisco's engagement with standards bodies as well as the taxonomies that we're aligning to, in the webinar we did with Morgan Stanley on May 30th, 2012 sharing Cisco's SDN strategy. These lay the foundation for Cisco's vision socialized as part of David Ward's service provider panel at the last ONS gathering in April 2012, and subsequently at Cisco CTO Padmasree Warrior's keynote at Interop, Las Vegas.
We had indicated that our approach would be broader than what is currently defined as SDN (by the Open Networking Foundation) as we introduced the concept of multi-layer programmability. The journey can be undertaken with existing or new deployment models, on routers and switches already in racks via a software update, or via an external controller, all the while providing the benefits of both harnessing the network intelligence and being able to program at any layer for optimized experience.
This is a very important construct that has been largely lost in the hype. Many have forgotten that the network has a lot of intelligence in it. At Cisco the investment we make in our silicon and software is a reflection of this (it is one reason why we have not been commoditized in for example, with Ethernet switching for over a decade, though Ethernet is a standard and a fairly ubiquitous technology. Or, for that matter with standards based IP).
To deliver against this notion of multi-layer programmability, we announced our strategy of the Cisco Open Network Environment – or Cisco "ONE".
Cisco's Open Network Environment is a multi-pronged strategy that will deliver the industry's broadest approach to programmability built on the industry's most comprehensive networking portfolio and industry standards. To execute on this strategy we will continue to invest in and bring synergy across both hardware and software, drive consistency between physical and virtual and blur the boundaries across network and compute.
The Open Network Environment will be delivered via a rich set of platform APIs, controllers and agents as well as through virtual overlay networks. This strategy has not been developed in a vacuum. We've vetted it with customers across different segments, refined it with knowledgeable analysts and worked with several thought leaders in the industry.
As part of Cisco's Open Network Environment, we're announcing new innovations across the portfolio.
onePK – One Platform Kit for developers that would provide a rich set of APIs, tools and SDK consistently across IOS, IOS-XR and NX-OS platforms. It lets customers bring application driven networking in an evolutionary way with a rich set of APIs that can address a variety of use-cases. onePK does not require any de-coupling of control and data planes and we will not be categorizing this as an SDN solution. This approach offers choice and open ness at multiple levels and across multiple deployment models. With a majority of customers that don't require the de-coupling of control and data planes, but want to derive the benefits of application-driven programmability, it offers a way to get there – in an evolutionary manner.
Virtual Overlay solutions– these will leverage the Nexus 1000V technology as a building block, bringing support for OpenStack, multi-hypervisor support (including open source hypervisors from Citrix and Red Hat, in addition to the support for VMware and Microsoft hypervisors already available), and VXLAN gateway funcationality for scalable multi-tenant cloud solutions . These cover all the use-case requirements that we're seeing across our customer base from Universities, to Service Providers, Cloud, Massively Scalable Data Centers and mainstream Enterprise.
To be clear, both the onePK and our overlay network solutions will NOT be categorized as SDN solutions, the latter being a well-defined use-case for multi-tenant cloud deployments with OpenStack and not OpenFlow.
As part of the Cisco Open Network Environment, customers will get to choose protocols, APIs and deployment models. It is not an either-or strategy, but one of "and". They can choose between different deployment models as well. One destination – multiple routes to get there.
OpenStack for scalable, multi-tenant cloud environments. OpenFlow for research purposes, and onePK for everything programmable. onePK clearly provides a rich set of features and allows customers to harness intelligence in a more comprehensive way that can span across use-cases. It also represents a cultural transition for networking. And cultural transitions do not happen overnight. Over time, Cisco will be handholding customers and enabling partners to make this transition easier, safer and more comfortable. To that end we'll be providing support via developer portals, training and certification courses as well as building an infrastructure to help ISVs scale.
We'll be taking baby steps in this direction with phased customer trials and proof-of-concept deployments.
We are playing here from a position of strength. What any other competitor bring to the table, we can do better across each of the deployment models AND across all the deplyoment models. And this is not just a technology argument. We expect this to be a cultural transition, at a scale that has never been attempted before in the industry, especially with onePK. There will be stumbles, but there will also be learnings. The learnings will help all of us.
We know the industry expected us to lay out this strategy sooner, but we given our large customer base, we had to take time rationalize and put things in perspective. Unlike startups that could shoot for headlines and create hype, we had to take a more pragmatic approach to avoid confusing our customers and partners with a silo'd view.
We shared all this with the media today in a live press conference that was also broadcast to all attendees worldwide. David Yen, our SVP/GM for Data Center Group, David Ward and Prashant Gandhi, Sr.Director of the Data Center group joined me, as we shared laid this out and then segued to an interactive Q&A session. For those of you who missed it, it will be available online at www.ciscolive365.com. Be sure to check out the other presentations and demonstrations of several of these concepts.
It will be interesting to see this transition play itself out. We will continue to raise awareness, and share our learnings as we move forward. It is important that we all engage, experience and to educate – ourselves and others, as we break through the hype cycle and put the focus where it belongs – on our customers.
So, is all this a revolution or an evolution? We believe it is a bit of both. So how about (R)evolution?
Stay tuned and keep networking.
Completely with you it agree! Thanks!
A versatile and broad approach to network programmability!

jeremy lanningham Dr. Pete Bailey, deputy school superintendant (left), and Dr. Don Coberly, Boise School superintendant (right).
Wednesday, Aug. 25, as Boise Weekly was hitting the streets, so were the city's school children. In its 147-year history, the 2010-2011 school year may be the Boise School District's most challenging. Facing a growing curriculum and austere budget, the harshest lesson this year may be economics. Dr. Don Coberly is the district's new superintendent, pulling double duty as the district's leader in addition to his role as curriculum coordinator. His deputy is Dr. Pete Bailey, serving the district since 1985.
Coberly: I think I was an average student. I graduated from Borah High School with a 3.2 average.
Do you remember teachers who really inspired you?
Coberly: There were three. Dennis Roggenbuck taught me math analysis. He was a very demonstrative active teacher. Bob Firman was a legendary calculus teacher and Elsa Bennett taught me world history. All three were student-centered. By the time I went to the University of Idaho, they had really taught me how to think.
How many kids are in Boise public schools this fall?
What is your 2010-2011 budget?
Coberly: $188 million. That's down about $12 million from last year.
What did you have to do to keep the doors open at the Marian Pritchett School, Boise's school for pregnant teens and new mothers?
Bailey: We had heard for several years that some legislators intended to cut funding to the school some day. So when those cuts came, we needed to make some serious decisions. We spent a great deal of time examining what changes and what cuts we had to make to keep the school open. And yes, that meant some staff cuts and changes in operations.
Coberly: I've got to tell you, I have a difficult time going to the Marian Pritchett graduation each spring. It's so emotional: the poetry, the music, the goodbyes.
Tell us about the changes at some of Boise's primary schools.
Bailey: Nine elementary schools will have different hours, starting at 9:15 a.m. rather than the traditional 8:45 a.m. The benefit comes from a management of school bus routes that will afford some savings.
But how about parents who still have to drop off their children at the earlier time?
Bailey: Each principal at the nine schools will have some kind of planned activity that will make up for that time. There will be reading clubs, chess clubs or math clubs.
Do you see this as a permanent change?
Bailey: We'll just have to see how this works. I don't see any change back to the earlier time in the near future.
What are your biggest financial challenges this year?
Do you have two titles?
Coberly: I just have one title, but I have two jobs.
Coberly: We're not buying any new textbooks. It's our third straight year.
What's the risk of doing that?
Coberly: You might be able to go four years, but sooner or later, you're an edition behind and that's very critical when it comes to history and science. Teachers are trying to supplement with the Internet but you need a standard text to support your curriculum.


Howdy, partner! The Stromer is saddled by three child-proof electrical outlets which are mounted on an elegant birch frame. The textile cable measures about 3 meters long, and can be stored like a lasso around the Stromer's neck. Our Stromer is produced entirely in Franconia (Bavaria, Germany) and is available in many different colors. The Stromer is also available with an additional saddlebag.
