Why Matt Gaetz is considered controversial: Explaining the allegations as he withdraws from AG
U.S. Electrosurgical Generators Market Size: Strong Growth Ahead (2024-2032)In what’s become an all-too-familiar story for taxpayer funded technology projects, another Washington state IT upgrade is falling further behind schedule and over budget. The state’s Office of Financial Management last week again postponed ambitious plans to move dozens of state systems, for everything from driver licensing fees to foster care payments to state pension checks, onto a cloud-based platform called Workday. The massive project, dubbed One Washington and initially set to launch its first phase in mid 2022, had already been pushed back to July 2025. Now, it won’t go live until July 2026 at the earliest, and possibly not until January 2027. Project costs, which had already jumped from the original estimate of $144 million for the first phase to around $291 million, are also expected to rise again — unwelcome news as the state faces a $10 billion to $12 billion shortfall over the next four years. OFM said it won’t know how much by until next month, but the numbers could be large. A draft budget request by OFM in September asked for $501 million over the next four fiscal years, though that figure includes subsequent phases of the Workday upgrade as well as expenditures that were planned for earlier in the project but have been delayed. OFM postponed the first phase of One Washington after tests showed that more than a third of 113 affected state agencies, which together handle some $43 billion in transactions a year, weren’t ready to run those financial processes via Workday. OFM is eager to avoid problems of the kind that marred the $340 million Workday upgrade at the University of Washington, which launched last year despite concerns that it wasn’t ready. But the One Washington delay also follows a damning “quality assurance” report issued last month by an outside consultant that flagged numerous weaknesses. Among the findings, OFM isn’t able to closely track progress at each state agency; efforts to test the agency systems are inadequate; and OFM’s new budget request is “significantly higher than expected” and well above what some other states are spending on similar upgrades. That’s all landing poorly with state lawmakers, who say One Washington’s repeated problems are undermining confidence in the state’s ability to execute critical but complicated IT projects. Legislators need “some degree of surety that even with more money we can get where we need to be” on One Washington, said state Sen. Lisa Wellman, D-Mercer Island. “And I have no confidence that is the case.” Lawmakers are especially frustrated that the problems continue despite the state’s massive outlays to Deloitte, the high-profile consultant helping run One Washington, and the state’s second biggest IT contractor. Over the next four years alone, Deloitte could be paid around $160 million for One Washington, based on earlier estimates provided by Deloitte to OFM. Identifying problems of the kind that have hobbled One Washington — “that is Deloitte’s job,” said state Sen. Joe Nguyen, D-West Seattle, chair of the Environment, Energy & Technology Committee and Ways & Means Committee vice-chair. A heavy lift To be clear, One Washington was never going to go smoothly. Part of a broader state initiative to replace aging state technology, One Washington aims to modernize and centralize state financial processes now run on roughly 280 different computer systems, many of them decades old and costly to maintain or keep secure. Many of those older systems will simply be replaced by Workday, a sophisticated “enterprise” platform that is used by many governments and universities. However, around 40 state agencies plan to keep using some “legacy” computer systems, which will need extensive modification to be compatible with Workday — modifications that OFM worried wouldn’t be ready for a July 2025 launch. Pushing back the launch by 12 to 18 months will ensure every agency is prepared “so that when Workday goes live, we don’t break things downstream,” said Amy McLean, OFM’s spokesperson for One Washington. Breaking things is a real risk. Glitches in the University of Washington’s Workday rollout, also managed by Deloitte, led to $90 million in delayed vendor payments and disrupted the school’s vital system of federal grants, though many of those problems have since been addressed. The stakes are far higher with One Washington, which touches crucial state operations, including payments to hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians. Trying to “go live” with Workday before those processes were ready “would cause catastrophic failure” in crucial state operations, OFM said. A failed launch could also affect the state’s financial accounting process and hurt its creditworthiness, according to an August report by the state auditor’s office. OFM said one of the project’s biggest challenges has been a chronic shortage of IT staff, made worse by the pandemic, to help agencies prepare their systems. The project also suffered from extensive executive turnover in its earlier phases, McLean said. More fundamental challenges were highlighted in last month’s quality assurance report, which was prepared by Gartner Consulting. For example, One Washington was structured so that OFM and the various agencies operate in “parallel” to each other on the project, without sufficient interaction, which made it hard for OFM to monitor “agency progress and obstacles,” Gartner said. Gartner also criticized procedures to test the “readiness” of the agencies’ legacy systems for Workday. In some cases, tests showed only that legacy systems could share data with Workday, but didn’t confirm whether the systems would actually be fully operational once Workday was launched. Gartner also said One Washington’s first round of system tests yielded a success rate that was higher than Gartner typically finds in such big projects. Moreover, when Gartner interviewed staff at various agencies, it found “an apparent mismatch of expectations as what counts as ‘passing’ a testing scenario and what counts as ‘failing,’” according to the report. Specifically, “agencies expressed there were several occurrences during the testing process where they thought the test ‘failed’, however the test was marked as ‘passing’ or as ‘user error.’” OFM acknowledged Gartner’s criticisms when it decided to postpone the launch. The agency said it was addressing those criticisms, but in a presentation last week noted that “while (One Washington) is working on improvements, without significant changes in these areas going forward, there is a risk that the Program will have difficulty achieving a new go-live date.” OFM had also adopted measures to prevent a premature launch. Workday will only go live if OFM and the agencies have successfully tested modifications at 38 financial systems that have been identified essential in the shift from the current financial system to Workday. Still, lawmakers are frustrated the state took so long to make these course corrections. Nguyen worries Washington is now so reliant on IT contractors like Deloitte that agency managers are less and less able to oversee complicated technology projects He also thinks OFM failed to put enough pressure on individual agencies to ensure they’re ready for Workday. “Right now, the mindset is, ‘well, we built this platform — if [agencies] don’t use it, it’s their fault,’ “ Nguyen said. McLean, OFM spokesperson, said OFM is looking at ways to hold agencies more accountable but also to better support them with resources and personnel to make the necessary changes. “We’re really focused on finding the right dynamic of executive accountability along with support from the program,” McLean said. “You can’t really have one without the other.” Nguyen is glad OFM is retooling its management strategy, but he says he’ll insist on meeting personally with staff at agencies still working on legacy systems so that he can personally assess their readiness. “That’s great they have a new date,” Nguyen said of One Washington’s 2026 launch window. But after so many problems, he adds, “I don’t believe them.”

By Stephen Nellis and Zaheer Kachwala (Reuters) – Chip design software firm Synopsys on Wednesday forecast fiscal 2025 revenue below Wall Street expectations thanks in part to a slump in China sales as the U.S. tightens controls on what chip technology can be sold to the country. Shares of the Sunnyvale, California-based company fell 6.6% in extended trading after the forecast. Synopsys Chief Financial Officer Shelagh Glaser told Reuters the company still expects to close its $35 billion deal to acquire engineering software firm Ansys in the first half of 2025. Synopsys forecast fiscal 2025 revenue in the range of $6.75 billion to $6.8 billion, with the entire range below estimates of $6.91 billion, according to LSEG data. Glaser said that a change in Synopsys fiscal calendar to make it easier to merge its financial reporting with Ansys lowered the company’s full-year revenue forecast by about $80 million. But the larger driver of the revenue was a continued sales drop in China, where the U.S. earlier this week imposed new limits on chip technology exports. Glaser said that the list of companies Synopsys can no longer sell to in China has grown, and some of those Chinese customers that remain are hesitating with plans for new chips because of uncertainty around whether they will be able to have the chips manufactured. “It’s kind of a cumulative impact of restrictions,” Glaser said. Glaser said the election as U.S. president of Donald Trump, who has promised to impose new tariffs on Chinese imports, did not change Synopsys’ outlook for closing the Ansys deal. “We certainly have expectations that each jurisdiction has its own criteria and reviews,” Glaser said. “But that actually was true from the beginning, and there was always going to be an election.” Synopsys forecast adjusted earnings per share for the full year to be between $14.88 and $14.96 per share, while analysts expected $14.88 per share. The company forecast first-quarter revenue between $1.44 billion and $1.47 billion, compared with estimates of 1.64 billion. It expects adjusted EPS for the first quarter to be between $2.77 and $2.82 per share, compared with estimates of $3.53 per share. Revenue for the fourth quarter ended Nov. 2 was $1.63 billion, in line with estimates. On an adjusted basis, the company earned $3.40 per share, above estimates of $3.30 per share.

LUQUE, Paraguay — Sake is perhaps more Japanese than the world-famous sushi. It's brewed in centuries-old mountaintop warehouses, savored in the country’s pub-like izakayas, poured during weddings and served slightly chilled for special toasts. The smooth rice wine that plays a crucial role in Japan's culinary traditions was enshrined on Wednesday by UNESCO on its list of the “intangible cultural heritage of humanity." At a meeting in Luque, Paraguay, members of UNESCO’s committee for safeguarding humanity's cultural heritage voted to recognize 45 cultural practices and products around the world, including Brazilian white cheese, Caribbean cassava bread and Palestinian olive oil soap. Unlike UNESCO’s World Heritage List, which includes sites considered important to humanity like the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the Intangible Cultural Heritage designation names products and practices of different cultures that are deserving of recognition. Japan's Takehiro Kano, ambassador to UNESCO, reacts after the traditional Japanese brewing of sake was officially named to UNESCO's "intangible cultural heritage of humanity" list during a World Heritage Convention in Asuncion, Paraguay on Wednesday. A Japanese delegation welcomed the announcement in Luque. “Sake is considered a divine gift and is essential for social and cultural events in Japan,” Kano Takehiro, the Japanese ambassador to UNESCO, told The Associated Press. The basic ingredients of sake are few: rice, water, yeast and koji, a rice mold that breaks down the starches into fermentable sugars like malting does in beer production. The whole two-month process of steaming, stirring, fermenting and pressing can be grueling. The rice — which wields tremendous marketing power as part of Japan's broader cultural identity — is key to the alcoholic brew. For a product to be categorized Japanese sake, the rice must be Japanese. Japanese sake, a nominee for UNESCO's "intangible cultural heritage of humanity" list, are displayed on Japan's delegation table, during a UNESCO World Heritage Convention in Asuncion, Paraguay, on Wednesday. The UNESCO recognition, the delegation said, captured more than the craft knowledge of making high-quality sake. It also honored a tradition dating back some 1,000 years — sake makes a cameo in Japan’s famous 11th century novel, “The Tale of Genji,” as the drink of choice in the refined Heian court. Now, officials hope to restore sake's image as Japan's premier alcoholic drink even as the younger drinkers in the country switch to imported wine or domestic beer and whiskey. Japanese breweries also expressed hope the listing could give a lift to the country's export economy as the popularity of sake booms around the world and in the United States amid heightened interest in Japanese cuisine. “I hope that this will also be an opportunity for Japanese people to take another look at sake, shochu and awamori, which are the essence of their culture," Hitoshi Utsunomiya, director of the trade group Japan Sake and Shochu Makers Association, said in Tokyo. "I would like them to try it even once and see what it tastes like,” he said. Sake exports, mostly to the U.S. and China, now rake in over $265 million a year, according to the association. Japan's Takehiro Kano, ambassador to UNESCO, reacts as the traditional Japanese brewing of sake was named to UNESCO's "intangible cultural heritage of humanity" list during a World Heritage Convention in Asuncion, Paraguay on Wednesday. Japan's delegation appeared ready to celebrate Wednesday — in classic Japanese style. After the announcement, Takehiro raised a cypress box full of sake to toast the alcoholic brew and cultural rite. “It means a lot to Japan and to the Japanese,” he said of the UNESCO designation. "This will help to renew interest in traditional sake elaboration.” In Tokyo, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said he was “delighted” by UNESCO's recognition of traditional sake-making techniques, and he congratulated those dedicated to preserving and promoting the tradition.

Consider cozying up inside with friends for a wine tasting and sharing delicious food and drinks with more complex flavors than cinnamon and sugar. Perhaps once thought of as stuffy affairs only for wine connoisseurs, today a tasting can be as casual as pouring a few bottles while doing another activity—say, bar games like darts or art activities like painting. The tasting can also be more traditional, especially if held at a winery or local wine shop, which is a great way to learn about what wines you might like to later serve at home. To host the ultimate wine tasting, it pays to do some R&D. One of the best aspects of hosting a wine tasting at home is that you get to establish the mood, tone, and guest list for the gathering—you can't pick a playlist when you sample wines at a bar or wine shop or make the dress code loungewear. So whether the mood is serious or playful, sophisticated or laid-back, the key to a successful tasting is enjoying and appreciating the wine and having fun with friends and family. Of course, there are a few other things to figure out along the way. Peerspace put together a few tips for hosting your wine-tasting party. A tasting party is all about sampling different wines and evaluating and hopefully enjoying them—and there are a variety of ways to do that. Would you like to host a playful gathering where each guest brings a mystery bottle of wine within a certain price range—a BYOB affair? Or would it be better to have more control over which wines are featured by curating and supplying all the wines as a host? This decision sets the tone—a tasting where guests contribute wine can be a bit of a free-for-all, whereas one where you select wines you supply allows guests to sit back and simply enjoy. And you don't have to break the bank to buy excellent wines—there are lots of wine experts ready to share their affordable picks. How much folks know about wine differs—and that's a good thing. Tastings are group learning experiences. Expertise isn't necessary to host or attend a tasting, but it is helpful to think about what will keep guests comfortable and having fun. Decide whether the vibe will be relaxed and laid-back, like friends sipping wine fireside, or more upbeat and formal. Think about elements like the atmosphere and the location, and consider whether folks will be seated or standing. Will you have a spirited playlist (couldn't resist) or live music? Do you want an expert to introduce each wine, or will you be that expert? Consider how guests will share their thoughts on what they are tasting. Do you want to just talk about them or do something more organized, like take notes or give ratings? Then supply notebooks or notecards and pencils, with categories or questions established ahead of time—all of which can reflect your evening's tone as well. How many people to invite is a question largely informed by the answers to tip #1: Are you having a big, formal affair or an intimate catch-up with close friends? Or something in between? Whatever the case, an RSVP is essential because not only do you need to plan the setup of the space, but you must also make sure there's enough wine for everyone to taste, including each of the wines featured. There's nothing worse than a tasting that runs dry! The math to determine how much wine you need considers the size of the tasting pours—a full glass of wine at a restaurant is usually around 5 ounces, which yields around five glasses of wine from a standard bottle. For tastings, you'll want to do less, depending on how many wines you are featuring—say, 2 ounces if you'll be trying a lot of different wines. Experts agree, having more wine than you need is always a good idea—that way you can send guests home with a bottle should there be a prize at the end of the night. Don't let food be an afterthought for the festivities—after all, food can enhance particular qualities of wine and vice versa. There are many rules around what foods to pair with which wines, but consider this simple advice from Alder Yarrow's Vinography : "Stick with eating good food and drinking good wine." Since the focus is on the wines, allow the drinks to determine what food makes sense, but don't overthink it. Food is a supporting character here—at the very least, guests will need something to soak up all the alcohol (unless you are spitting it out). Eating foods that contain a mixture of protein, fats, and carbs when drinking helps increase the rate of alcohol elimination . Whether it's a full meal or heavy hors d'oeuvres, thoughtful noshes are necessary. The bottom line is, however you do it, hosting the ultimate wine tasting should be fun. Wine can feel intimidating to many people, but most wine experts are passionate, inspired folks who want to share what they know and help you find wines you like. So visit your local wine store or winemaker and ask questions. There are good guides specifically concerning how to taste wine. Dig a little, taste a lot, and have fun. It's all research for your next ultimate wine tasting. Story editing by Carren Jao. Additional editing by Kelly Glass. Copy editing by Kristen Wegrzyn. Photo selection by Lacy Kerrick. This story originally appeared on Peerspace and was produced and distributed in partnership with Stacker Studio. Picking a theme is essential to curating the selection of wines—it's the organizing principle behind your selections. Otherwise, your tasting might as well be just walking down the wine aisle at the grocery store and taking sips from random bottles. There's too much wine out there not to be strategic about this. Plus, a theme helps you to tell the story of each wine better—it's the plot line of the night, if you will. Common themes are types of wine, regions they are from, or even price points—really, one can get as creative as they wish. For inspiration, check out local wine shops and see what they do for tastings. Often, they will follow seasonality and group wines in novel ways for their own in-house tastings.
