  • Tired of shopping every weekend? Some good news finally!! Yogi Grocery (better known for Indian groceries), has agreed to home deliver food stuff at no extra cost, if we order goods worth $50 or more. This facility is presently for Woodbury Garden residents only. Others can form groups of their own and place orders.

    I would suggest all interested Woodbury Garden residents to mail Yogesh at yogi_groceries@yahoo.com with a list of items they intend to purcahse and I wud coordinate with him to come on weekend. I wud recommend ordering fresh chappatis which can be stored for 3-4 days, along with frozen parathas, naan and delicacies such as jalebis and samosas. You may also add Hindi Movies to your shopping cart. For queries, please call Yogesh at 734-834-8733.

  • Reflections on Stephen Wolfram's 'A New Kind of Science' - by, Ray Kurzweil. In his remarkable new book, Stephen Wolfram asserts that cellular automata operations underlie much of the real world. He even asserts that the entire Universe itself is a big cellular-automaton computer. But Ray Kurzweil challenges the ability of these ideas to fully explain the complexities of life, intelligence, and physical phenomena.

Department of Defense

1. DoD and Military programs and technical knowledgebase
  • Data & Analysis Center for Software (DACS) - The mission of DACS is to provide scientific and technical information analysis and technical advisory services to assist the DoD in meeting technical and operational objectives relating to software and software technology.
  • Software Technology Support Center (STSC) - In 1987, the U.S. Air Force selected Ogden Air Logistics Center (OO-ALC), Hill Air Force Base, Utah, to establish and operate its Software Technology Support Center (STSC). It was chartered to be the command focus for proactive application of software technology in weapon, command and control, intelligence and mission-critical systems. Mission - The STSC provides hands-on assistance in adopting effective technologies for software-intensive systems. We help organizations identify, evaluate and adopt technologies that improve software product quality, production efficiency and predictability.
  • SPAWAR Systems Center San Diego - Systems Engineering Process Office (SEPO). SEPO provides systems and software engineering processes and consulting services to projects, conducts and facilitates software engineering training, and acts as a software engineering clearinghouse for SSC San Diego. Our goal is to keep SSC San Diego competitive by providing capabilities to be a DoD leader in developing and acquiring quality systems.
  • The Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Initiative, sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), is a collaborative effort between government, industry and academia to establish a new distributed learning environment that permits the interoperability of learning tools and course content on a global scale. ADL's vision is to provide access to the highest quality education and training, tailored to individual needs, delivered cost-effectively anywhere and anytime.
  • The Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM) defines a Web-based learning "Content Aggregation Model" and "Run-Time Environment" for learning objects. The SCORM is a collection of specifications adapted from multiple sources to provide a comprehensive suite of e-learning capabilities that enable interoperability, accessibility and reusability of Web-based learning content. The work of the ADL Initiative to develop the SCORM is also a process to knit together disparate groups and interests. This reference model aims to coordinate emerging technologies with commercial and/or public implementations.
