notes

According to Article I of the "Rehat Maryada" (the Sikh code of conduct and conventions), a Sikh is defined as "any human being who faithfully believes in One Immortal Being; ten Gurus, fromGuru Nanak Dev to Sri Guru Gobind Singh; Sri Guru Granth Sahib; the teachings of the ten Gurus and the baptism bequeathed by the tenth Guru; and who does not owe allegiance to any other religion".^[26] Sikhs believe in the equality of humankind, the concept of universal brotherhood of man and One Supreme God (Ik Onkar).

Most male Sikhs have Singh (lion) and most female Sikhs Kaur (princess) as their surname. Sikhs who have undergone the khanḍe-kī-pahul, the Sikh initiation ceremony, can also be recognized by the Five Ks: uncut hair (Kesh); an iron/steel bracelet (kara); a Kirpan, a sword tucked in a gatra strap; Kachehra, a type of special shorts; and a Kanga, a small comb to keep the hair clean. Male Sikhs cover their hair with a turban, while female Sikhs may wear a turban or a scarf.

The greater Punjab region is the historical homeland of the Sikhs, although significant communities exist around the world.

The Experts That Built Deep Blue

By FELICE BUCKVAR

Published: July 06, 1997

NY Times

THOSE who have preconceived ideas about what computer whizzes look and act like should think again. The most famous computer experts are just like one's neighbors, at least, their male neighbors. In fact, the International Business Machines Deep Blue Team, creators of the machine that defeated Garry Kasparov, the world chess champion, are neighbors here. All of them are solid Westchester citizens.

Take Dr. Chung-Jen Tan, manager of the Deep Blue Project, for example. He has been living in the county for 28 years, first in Yorktown Heights, then Somers and for the last 18 years in a Colonial in Katonah. Sounding like a typical suburbanite, he said recently, ''I love the green and the quiet. Yet I can easily get into the city.''

He and his wife, Lorrain, a programmer for I.B.M. in Somers, are empty nesters now, but their children attended local schools, both graduating from John Jay High School in Cross River. Serena, 20, is a biology major interested in research. Christopher, 24, works in Los Angeles for the Asian Pacific American Legal Center, a nonprofit organization that promotes immigrants' rights, a cause to which Dr. Tan, who came to America from Taiwan as an undergraduate, is devoted. Christopher Tan will be going to Columbia Law School in the fall.
