The DGS-3120 xStack Series switches are enhanced L2 access stackable switches designed to connect end-users in a secure SMB or enterprise network. These switches support physical stacking, multicast, and enhanced security, making them an ideal Gigabit access layer solution. The DGS-3120-24TC/48TC provides 20 or 44 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports, and 4 combo 1000BASE-T/SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports. The DGS-3120-24PC/48PC provides 24 or 48 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 combo 1000BASE-T/SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports. The DGS-3120-24SC provides 16 SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports and 8 combo 1000BASE-T/SFP Gigabit ports. Each 10/100/1000 Mbps port on the DGS-3120-24PC/48PC supports the 802.3af and 802.3at Power over Ethernet standards. The default power budget for these models is 370 watts and can be expanded to 760 watts with the DPS-700 RPS. The switches are also equipped with an SD Card slot, allowing the user to boot images and upload configuration files directly from an SD Card as well as conveniently save syslog files onto the SD Card.
Standard and Enhanced Images
The DGS-3120 Series is embedded with two different software images - the Standard Image (SI) and Enhanced Image (EI). The Standard Image provides sophisticated features for campus or enterprise usage. It includes advanced Quality of Service (QoS), traffic shaping, L2 multicasting, robust security features, and IPv6 features which are suitable for next-generation IPv6 networks or triple play applications over Metro Ethernet*. The Enhanced Image supports ERPS, Double VLAN (Q-in-Q), Ethernet OAM, Static Route, IMPB, and sFlow.
Enhanced Network Reliability
The DGS-3120 Series targets enterprises, campuses, and customers who require a high level of network security and maximum uptime. They also include other features, such as 802.1D Spanning Tree (STP), 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP), and 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree (MSTP), Loopback Detection (LBD), and Broadcast Storm Control, that enhances network resilience. G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) minimizes the recovery time to 50ms. For load sharing and redundancy backup in a switch cascading/server attachment configuration, the DGS-3120 Series provides dynamic 802.3ad Link Aggregation Port Trunking.
Comprehensive Security
The DGS-3120 Series provides users with the latest security features such as Multi-layer and Packet Content Access Control Lists (ACL), Storm Control, and IP-MAC-Port Binding (IMPB) with DHCP Snooping. The IP-MAC-Port Binding feature allows administrators to bind a source IP address with an associated MAC and also define the port number to enhance user access control. With the DHCP Snooping feature, the switch automatically learns IP/MAC pairs by snooping DHCP packets and saving them to the IMPB white list. In addition, the D-Link Safeguard Engine identifies and prioritizes "CPU interested" packets to prevent malicious traffic from interrupting normal network flows, and to protect switch operation.
Identity Driven Network Policies
The DGS-3120 Series supports authentication mechanisms such as 802.1X, Web-based Access Control (WAC), and MAC-based Access Control (MAC) for strict access control and easy deployment. After authentication, individual policies such as VLAN membership, QoS policies, and ACL rules can be assigned to each host. In addition, the switch also supports Microsoft® NAP (Network Access Protection). NAP is a policy enforcement technology that allows customers to protect network assets from unhealthy computers by enforcing compliance with network health policies.
Traffic Management for Triple Play
The DGS-3120 Series implements a rich set of multilayer QoS/CoS features to ensure that critical network services such as VoIP, video conferencing, IPTV, and IP surveillance are given high priority. Traffic Shaping features guarantee bandwidth for these services when the network is busy. L2 Multicast support enables the DGS-3120 to handle growing IPTV bandwidth requirements. Host-based IGMP/MLD Snooping allows multiple multicast subscribers per physical interface and ISM VLAN sends multicast streams in a multicast VLAN to save bandwidth and to provide better security to the backbone network. The ISM VLAN profiles allow users to bind/replace the pre-defined multicast registration information to subscriber ports quickly and easily.
Proactive, Effective Network Management
To uphold enterprise customers' Service Level Agreements (SLA), service providers must reduce their Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and increase service availability. Ethernet OAM features address these challenges and enable service providers to offer carrier-grade services. The DGS-3120 Series supports industry-standard OAM tools, including IEEE 802.3ah, IEEE802.1ag, and ITU-T Y.1731. Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) provides tools to monitor and troubleshoot end-to-end Ethernet networks, allowing service providers to check connectivity, isolate network issues, and identify customers affected by network issues.
IPv6 Technology
The DGS-3120 Series is fully compliant with future IPv6 networks. It supports remote IPv6 manageability from telnet, HTTP, or SNMP. To create secure IPv6 networks, the DGS-3120 Series uses IPv6 ACL, DHCPv6 Snooping, and Neighbour Discovery (ND) snooping functions to protect the network from illegal IPv6 clients. The DGS-3120 Series has been certified with IPv6 Ready Logo Phase 2 from the IPv6 forum, a worldwide IPv6 advocacy consortium. The IPv6 Ready Logo Program ensures the conformance and interoperability of IPv6 products.
D-Link Green Technology
D-Link is striving to take the lead in developing innovative and power-saving technology that does not sacrifice operational performance or functionality. The DGS-3120 Series implements D-Link Green Technology, which includes a power saving mode, Smart Fan, reduced heat, and cable length detection. The power-saving feature automatically powers down ports that are detected to have no link or link partner. The Smart Fan feature allows for the built-in fans to automatically turn on at a certain temperature, providing continuous, reliable, and eco-friendly operation of the switch.
D-Link's Single IP Management (SIM) simplifies and speeds up management tasks, allowing multiple switches to be configured, monitored, and maintained from any workstation running a web browser through one unique IP address. This virtual stack is managed as a single object, having all units maintained by one IP address. The DGS-3120 Series also supports standard-based management protocols such as SNMP, RMON, Telnet, Console, Web-based GUI, and SSH/SSL security authentication.
* Supports IPv6 in firmware R3.0 SI and above.

This activity is a short engineering design challenge to be completed by individual students or small teams. A real-world problem is presented, designing buildings for hurricane-prone areas, but in a simulated way that works in a classroom, after... (View More) school club, or informal education setting. Students are given simple materials and design requirements, and must plan and build a tower as tall as possible that will hold up a tennis ball while resisting the force of wind from a fan. After the towers are built, the group comes together to test them. If there is time after testing, which can be observational or framed as a contest between teams, students can redesign their towers to improve their performance, or simply discuss what worked well and what didn't in their designs.

This lesson includes four activities. Activity 1 introduces concepts related to distance, including length and height and units of measurement. Students are asked to make comparisons of distances. In activity 2, students work with a graph and plot... (View More) the heights of objects and the layers of the atmosphere: troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere. In activity 3, students learn about other forms of visual displays using satellite imagery. They compare images of a hurricane using two different satellite images. One image is looking down on the hurricane from space, the other looks through the hurricane to display a profile of the hurricane. Activity 4 reinforces the concept of the vertical nature of the atmosphere. Students will take a CALIPSO satellite image that shows a profile of the atmosphere and use this information to plot mountains and clouds on their own graph of the atmosphere. The recommended order for the activities is to complete the first two activities on day one, and the second two activities on day two. Each day will require approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. (View Less)

Blessed with Children, Struggling for More week of January 7th
This thread is for women that have children who are trying to have more and struggling with infertility (IF). You fall into the IF category if you have been trying for more than a year or if you have known fertility issues. Some have secondary IF and some have primary IF. Some of us are TTC naturally and some need treatments of some type. All are welcome!
We also have women who are praying to make it. Due to prior losses or IF they don't feel like they should join a due date board till after the first 12 weeks. We are truly happy to support you as you transition. Please just keep in mind that we are a group of woman struggling with IF and be sensitive to that as you post. If you put a pregnancy ticker or smiley in your signature, please turn off your signature when you post in this thread. Thank you!

I think it is time that I pass on the thread. I think this week will have to be my last week. I will still be cheering you all on though and will be checking in on everyone all the time. Hopefully someone will take on the thread so that you can all still support each other through the struggles.
Carrie- Yikes!!! You poor thing!!! I was miserable when I had that happen- it went all down my thighs too- it must've been some sort of iodine or something. In fact, I don't remember what I took to make it better because it was such a terrible memory- my brain is blocking me from remembering it all. Hang in there- hope you get relief soon!!!
Oh- and good luck tomorrow!!!! I can't wait to hear how it goes
Robin- Got you updated.

Re: Blessed with Children, Struggling for More week of January 7th
The meds I've been taking are dh's (bad I know, but I need something to be able to function) but they are a class D. Anyone know if there is a safe anti anxiety for TTC? I probably need to go in to my dr. You don't think my RE would just call something in for me do you?
I sometimes think this all just isn't worth it and I want to give up. But then I still want another baby and I think that giving up I would still feel sad, I don't know, it just sucks.

Re: Blessed with Children, Struggling for More week of January 7th
Thanks so much Amy! Do you want me to send you everything in an email? I forgot how to pass it on... I think if you just cut and past it- you lose the colors?
I would call your RE and ask- they might just call in a prescription to help you out. I am so sorry it has been so hard Amy. I don't know what is considered safe, but I think right now you need to take care of yourself.
I also want to say that I had breaks- and those helped. We had a forced break while my husband went through chemo, but it was actually something that really helped us. I wouldn't give up hon- it will happen for you. I would take it easy on yourself though and do what you need to to feel better now.

This week the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee released designs by Zaha Hadid Architects and AECOM for the Al Wakrah Stadium for the FIFA World Cup. The team was announced in June 2013 but this is the first time that concept designs have been released to an eager public. The stadium itself is designed to seat 40,000 spectators with modular top tiers to lower capacity to 20,000 after the international sporting event.
The sinuous design has received mixed reactions from architecture critics, with The Independent terming the stadium 'The Accidental Vagina' and online reviewers noting similarities to Hadid's Japan National Stadium, which played a key role in Tokyo's bid to host the 2020 Summer Olympic Games.
In a statement released by the architecture practice, it is suggested that the design of the stadium is in fact derived from traditional fishing boats found in the region: "Located approximately fifteen kilometres south of Doha, Al Wakrah has served as a vital commercial port and a gateway to the capital throughout Qatar's history. Al Wakrah's tradition is reflected in the stadium design, which captures the essence of the traditional dhow, an Arabian pearl fishing boat."
Hassan Al Thawadi, Secretary General of the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee said: "The stadium reflects what our country stands for from a cultural perspective. It is modern, futuristic and functional. But importantly, it remains true to our Qatari heritage with the design and materials inspired by the traditional dhow boat."
Construction will begin on the stadium site in January 2014 and a tender for the main contractor is due in the second quarter of 2014. In Hadid's commentary it is implicitly stated that 'all construction contracts for the stadium will be issued in line with the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee's Workers' Charter and Standards'.
This announcement comes in the same week that Amnesty International released a report entitled The Dark Side of Migration: Spotlight on Qatar's construction sector ahead of the World Cup, which found widespread and routine abuse of migrant workers at the World Cup site. Through interviews with workers, employers and government officials, it was concluded by Amnesty International that non-payment of wages, harsh and dangerous working conditions and poor standards of accommodation are major issues in Qatar's construction sector.
Salil Shetty, Secretary General of Amnesty International said: "Construction companies and the Qatari authorities alike are failing migrant workers. Employers in Qatar have displayed an appalling disregard for the basic human rights of migrant workers. Many are taking advantage of a permissive environment and lax enforcement of labour protections to exploit construction workers."

To stay engaged in a task continuously. Often used when the task is long-term or plodding. Kate is working her way through college, but it's taken a while, as she's only been able to attend classes part-time. I have to work my way through any book I start, even if I don't like it very much.

|Complete response vs treatment failure [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
The information fraction is estimated by the number of eligible patients evaluated for response at a given time divided by the target sample size of eligible patients. However, the timing of the interim analyses will likely vary from this exact schedule for practical reasons. At the interim analysis, the test statistic for the primary analysis will be compared with the critical boundaries defined by the statistical design parameters an O?Brien and Fleming alpha spending function as proposed by Lan and DeMets.

|Official Title ICMJE
|A Phase III Randomized Trial of Pulse Actinomycin-D Versus Multi-day Methotrexate for the Treatment of Low-Risk Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia
|Brief Summary
|This randomized phase III trial studies how well methotrexate works compared to dactinomycin in treating patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methotrexate and dactinomycin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether methotrexate is more effective than dactinomycin in treating gestational trophoblastic disease.
|Detailed Description
I. To test the hypothesis that treatment with multi-day methotrexate is inferior to treatment with pulse actinomycin-D (dactinomycin) in patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic disease with respect to complete response.
I. To describe the frequency of post protocol surgical treatment for each arm. II. To describe the frequency of post protocol multi-agent chemotherapy treatment for each arm.
III. To compare multi-day methotrexate to actinomycin-D with respect to frequency and severity of adverse events in patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.
IV. To investigate the impact of treatment on overall quality-of-life (QOL) and explore the influence of treatment on issues such as body image, sexual functioning, and patient-reported side effects and disruption.
V. To assess whether uterine artery pulsatility index (UAPI) can provide independent prognostic information predictive of single-drug resistance.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients receive dactinomycin intravenously (IV) over 15 minutes on day 1.
ARM II: Patients receive methotrexate intramuscularly (IM) on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 and leucovorin calcium orally (PO) on days 2, 4, 6, and 8 OR single agent methotrexate IV on days 1-5.
In both arms, treatment repeats every 14 days for up to 20 courses* in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up monthly for 1 year and then every 3 months for 1 year.
NOTE: * Patients will be treated for three courses after human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) < 5 mIU/mL or until evidence of treatment failure (biologic progression), disease progression, or unacceptable toxicity despite dose modifications. Upon normalization of hCG (< 5 mIU/mL), patients will be treated with three additional courses.

Preview: Red Wings at Blackhawks
Although the Presidents' Trophy is in their line of sight, the Chicago Blackhawks would be wise to keep an eye on the Detroit Red Wings. Should the Blackhawks complete a season sweep by defeating their Original Six rival at the United Center on Friday, it could go a long way in perhaps ending Detroit's string of 21 consecutive postseason appearances. With just two wins in their last seven outings (2-4-1), the Red Wings are clinging to eighth place in the Western Conference - two points ahead of Phoenix with eight games remaining.
Chicago, which already has punched its ticket to the playoffs, sits two points ahead of Eastern Conference-leading Pittsburgh. Ray Emery continued his hot hand by securing his second 1-0 victory in three starts, with the most recent decision coming in Tuesday's triumph over Minnesota. Emery has three shutouts in his last five outings, giving traditional starter Corey Crawford a run for his money and coach Joel Quenneville some food for thought as the postseason nears.
TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, NHL Network, RDS, FSN (Detroit), CSN (Chicago)
ABOUT THE RED WINGS (19-15-6): Jimmy Howard admitted - and general manager Ken Holland confirmed - that Detroit is close to signing the talented goaltender to a six-year contract extension. Financial terms weren't released, but TSN reported the deal was worth $31.8 million. "I wanted to be here," the 29-year-old Howard said. "I get along great with everyone here. I believe in this organization. I just want to be here and get the job done." Howard made 28 saves on Thursday but was unable to prevent Patrick Marleau from scoring in the third round of the shootout of San Jose's 3-2 victory.
ABOUT THE BLACKHAWKS (30-5-4): Crawford has been the netminder of record in all three of Chicago's victories over Detroit in 2013. After leading his team to a pair of 2-1 triumphs that extended beyond regulation, Crawford watched an offensive explosion as the Blackhawks spoiled Gordie Howe's 85th birthday with a 7-1 rout on March 31. Former Red Wing Marian Hossa missed that contest with an upper-body injury but did score the lone goal on Tuesday. The veteran has 23 points in 29 career games versus Detroit.
1. Detroit D Jakub Kindl netted his first career power-play goal on Thursday. He has just one assist in 10 lifetime contests versus Chicago.
2. Blackhawks C Dave Bolland returned to practice on Thursday but is not expected to play against the Red Wings. He is nursing a lower-body injury.
3. Howard has struggled against Chicago, posting a 4-7-4 career mark.
PREDICTION: Blackhawks 4, Red Wings 2

(CPJ/IFEX) - The following is a CPJ press release:
Journalism student given 20-year jail term in Afghanistan
New York, October 21, 2008 - The Committee to Protect Journalists is outraged by a Kabul appeal court's decision to sentence Afghan journalism student Parwez Kambakhsh to 20 years in prison for blasphemy today. A three-judge panel commuted the death sentence given to Kambakhsh in January, but upheld the original conviction, according to Kambakhsh's brother and lawyer.
Mohammad Afzal Nooristani, Kambakhsh's lawyer, told CPJ he plans to appeal the decision with the Supreme Court tomorrow. The court has five months to consider the verdict, according to the country's criminal law, he said.
"This sentence is a step backwards for freedom of expression in Afghanistan," said Bob Dietz, CPJ's Asia program coordinator. "Kambakhsh's case has come to represent the distance between the traditional forces in Afghanistan and those that want their country to move forward. We call on the Supreme Court to overturn this sentence and release Parwez Kambakhsh so that he can pursue his studies and his work as a journalist."
National Directorate of Security officials arrested Kambakhsh in Mazar-i-Sharif in northern Balkh province on October 27, 2007, saying he had distributed an article from the Internet about women's rights in Islam. On January 22, a closed court sentenced the 24-year-old Balkh University student to death on the recommendation of local clerics. He was denied legal representation during that trial, which lasted just a few minutes.
Today's hearing had been delayed beyond the legal time limit for an appellate ruling because the court was waiting for witnesses from Balkh to testify against the defendant, according to Nooristani, who was appointed as Kambakhsh's lawyer after his first appeal in May.
One of the witnesses called by the prosecution, a classmate of Kambakhsh's named Hamid, told the court that NDS officials had visited him a few days after Kambakhsh's initial arrest and threatened to take his family into custody if he did not make a statement about Kambakhsh's blasphemy. "He was their prime witness, no other was eligible to give testimony," Nooristani told CPJ.
This was not the first sign that security officials manipulated the case. In an earlier appeal hearing, Kambakhsh said that NDS officials had tortured him into confessing apostasy, or the rejection of Islam, but the results of a medical exam seven months later were inconclusive in proving torture, Nooristani said. Yaqub Ibrahimi, Kambakhsh's brother, also told CPJ that NDS officials searched the apartment he shared with his brother for materials related to his own journalism. Ibrahimi writes for the Institute of War and Peace Reporting and said he feared that his brother's arrest was in reprisal for his own hard-hitting articles. Kambakhsh also worked part-time for a local newspaper.
The Associated Press said there were five witnesses in total for the prosecution. One, a professor, said Kambakhsh had asked questions about women's rights and Islam during classes, according to Ibrahimi, who attended the three-hour trial. Nooristani said he challenged this testimony because it was not related to the charge involving the article. The lawyer told CPJ he was not given a chance to make a closing argument.
Ibrahimi told CPJ today that he was only able to talk to his brother for a few seconds after the sentencing. "He was really shocked. He expected his release today but this was a very strong decision against him," he said.

Cornell senior attackman Rob Pannell, one of the favorites to win the 2012 Tewaaraton Award before missing most of the season with a broken left foot, has been granted a fifth year of eligibility by the Ivy League.
Pannell suffered the injury in the third quarter of the No. 3 Big Red's 18-7 win over Army on March 3. At the time, he was averaging eight points, with seven goals and nine assists in two contests. He underwent surgery, and after weeks of uncertainty about whether he would return, academically withdrew from Cornell at the end of the semester, leaving open the option of appealing for a fifth year of eligibility. Unlike most other conferences, the Ivy League generally does not grand medical redshirts.
The 2011 United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association National Player of the Year, Pannell is a three-time All-American, two-time USILA National Attackman of the year and two-time Ivy League Player of the Year. He ranks second in Cornell history in assists (149), third in points (252) and sixth in goals (103).
Hannan leaves Goucher to coach Mercer
Goucher men's coach Kyle Hannan will take over at Mercer after an 18-2 season with the Gophers that ended in an NCAA tournament loss to eventual champion Salisbury.
He replaces Jason Childs, who resigned after leading the Bears to a record of 2-26 in two seasons since the program moved to Division I.
Hannan cited a new multimillion-dollar, state-of-the-art football and lacrosse facility as part of the commitment that the Macon, Ga., university is demonstrating to men's lacrosse. Mercer is the only Division I men's lacrosse program in Georgia.
Hannan spent 12 years at Goucher after coaching at Colorado College and Virginia Wesleyan. He has a 179-122 record in his 19-year career.
A four-year starting midfielder at Salisbury, Hannan helped the Sea Gulls to three appearances in the NCAA Division III playoffs.
"I had a wonderful experience at Goucher," Hannan says. "This move had nothing to do with Goucher. They have a great structure in place and AD Geoffrey Miller is a great person and leader. It was more about what Mercer had to offer me and my family."

CRESTVIEW � Okaloosa County�s diverse college options offer north county students educational opportunities in various fields.
CRESTVIEW � Okaloosa County�s diverse college options offer north county students educational opportunities in various fields.
Pharmacy School
The Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University�sPharmacy School, in the Rural Diversity Healthcare Center which opened last August in downtown Crestview, features specialized labs and classrooms with synchronous distance-learning technology. Students caninteract in real time with instructors and students from Tallahassee�s main campus.
The American Council of Pharmaceutical Education recently accredited the school, which has 25 students and plans to add 39 more.
"Twenty-one of them are in their first professional year and four of them are in their fourth professional year," Dr. Margareth Larose-Pierre,associate dean of academic affairs, said. All students receive supervised training in local hospital and store pharmacies.
"The plan is for those students to stay here in the community, do their rotations and find jobs here in the northwestern part of Florida,� she said.
NWFSC Collegiate High School
Northwest Florida State College�s Collegiate High School in Niceville offers free advanced courses to eligible high school sophomores, juniors and seniors. Students attending the public charter school can earn a two-year Associate of Artsor transferable college credits.
Accepted students can take collegiate classes ranging from honors English to Algebra II. They also can take a course that prepares them for college academics.
Prospective students must meet certain educational criteria, Principal Anthony Boyer said. "We take in 60 collegiate 10th-graders ... who have a 3.0 GPA or higher and have received passing scores on the college placement tests," Boyer said. Fifteen 10th-graders falling just short of these requirements can enter the program upon selection from a lottery. Those students are placed on a waiting list.
Since the charter school opened in 2000, the number of enrolled students has grown from 125 in 2000 to 285 students in 2012, the school stated.
Participation is slowly catching on in Crestview, administrators said.
"I have seen a larger number of applicants from the north end of the county," Boyer said. Out of 186 applicants for next year, 29 are from the county�s north end; 128 are from the south end. The remaining 29 students are from outside the county.
The school is among the state�s A+ high schools.
Boyer gave much of the credit to the students.
"We have always set the bar high for our students, but they have always risen to the occasion." Boyer said, adding that last year�s graduating class had an average 3.4 GPA.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
Embry-Riddle University, 5210B S. Ferdon Blvd., Crestview, offers curriculum on operation, engineering, research, manufacturing, marketing and management of modern aircraft and supporting systems. The Crestview location has four classrooms in which students can earn an associate degree, bachelor�s or other certifications. Online learning is available.
"The Crestview campus currently has 53 active (graduate and undergraduate) students and 17 more working through the admissions process," said Ashley McCallum, associate director of academic support, in an email.
The university is affiliated with the Okaloosa County School District, Bob Sikes Airport, and regional airports and aeronautical clubs.

LinkedIn discussion on PLC vs. PAC: When and where?
Marketing hype or substantial differences? Users offer their observations, opinions. Should you use a PLC (programmable logic controller) or a PAC (programmable automation controller) for your next application? Is there a difference? How should you choose? Following the same topic as the cover story in this issue, users of the Automation and Control Group on LinkedIn offer their thoughts. The general consensus is that a PAC offers a higher level of sophistication.
"PAC is merely a marketing term for the more capable PLCs," says Joseph Stevenson. "The selection of one platform or another is highly contingent on the size of the process, based on I/O count, required scalability, and what the control system needs to do with that process."
Jeffrey T. Johannessen defines those differences in very specific terms. He observes, "A PAC is not a PLC. A PLC has a single program path, but PACs can have multiple threads or multitasking, interrupt driven I/O, and event or driven processes."
To manufacturers and users, the key should be to use the right tool for the right job, according to Sloan Zupan. He suggests, "The application will dictate whether a PLC or a PAC is best suited. A PAC really refers to automation platforms. These platforms typically combine multiple different control disciplines on a single rack. As an example, Mitsubishi Electric offers a product called the iQ Platform, which enables users to select any combination of the following CPU types: sequence, motion, robot, CNC, and C controller. The CPUs can be mixed and matched to fit the requirements of any application perfectly. By leveraging the same power supplies, racks, I/O and communication interfaces startup, normal operation and maintenance becomes much easier. That is the value of a true PAC. On the other hand, a PLC is nice to have for stand-alone applications where sequence and positioning control are all that is needed. The PLCs are flexible in their networking capabilities and can be connected to the PAC systems easily. The same software is used for both the PLC and the PAC because the instruction sets are the same. PLC programs can be easily ported to PAC systems as the control requirements change."
Brad Sibole sees PACs as the future but believes there is still too big a price difference. "Since the automation field is following the 'from the shop floor to the top floor' mantra, the need of more powerful and robust systems is much needed. PAC is the future of the automation field, but it is hard to justify the cost of a PAC to PLC system at this time." Sibole goes on to offer his own checklist for when a PAC is the better choice. He says, "Consider a PAC versus a PLC if your application requires:
- Advanced control algorithms
- Extensive database manipulation
- HMI functionality in one platform
- Integrated custom control routines
- Complex process simulation
- Very fast CPU processing, and
- Memory requirements that exceed PLC specifications."
Samit Mathur doesn't want to forget PLCs too quickly. To his thinking, they still have some critical advantages. "PLC-based systems are much simpler, easier to fix, and offer a simple way to communicate and with high MTBF (on the order of 50 years), low MTTR (< 2 hours). Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can replace the faulty modules and it is by far the best in industrial applications. It's very important to understand the application before selection of program capacity of a PLC in terms of I/O count, communication interfaces, and size of application program."
Paul Sinclair thinks that the term PAC may be a buzzword but sees key differences in functionality over other control platforms. "The best thing about a PLC or PAC is speed—the logic runs as fast as a racehorse while traditional DCS is slow," he says. "Using a PAC/HMI combination gives an operator a real-time feeling which cannot be replicated in a DCS/HMI due to the inherently slow scan times. In a perfect world we want accuracy in our logic solvers and engaged operators watching over the process. Call it what you want: PLC, DCS, PAC, or any TLA will do as long as functionality, accuracy, and speed are product characteristics. The line is already pretty grey. My bet is that 10 years from now, DCS and PLC will be legacy products or obsolete like VHS and BETA video formats. The new kids on the block will all be PACs running on unified architecture platforms."

My guess is that you have some kind of spyware/browser hijacker. Look in the tutorials section of this site for how to get rid of it. Try Spybot Search and Destroy or Adaware to remove it. Baring that, run Hijackthis and post the log it generates here before you attempt to remove anything.
Go to Internet Options. Tab Advanced.
Somewhere there it should mention "Search from the taskbar".
Don't let IE search from the taskbar.
Oliver's Law:
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Spyware has weedled its way onto your hard drive like an lecherous boss round the new secretary at an Xmas office party.
Removing the unwanted pest involves (usually):
Install and run a spyware killer -

- Hijack This - http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/
Then patch your machine (!) -

Mini-trucks OK, rest area drinking not
ST. PAUL -- Minnesota would allow mini-trucks to travel on some county roads, but prohibit drinking in state rest areas under a catch-all transportation bill representatives passed 115-17 Tuesday.
Transportation issues not requiring money were folded into the measure, including a proposal by Rep. Brita Sailer, DFL-Park Rapids, to allow farmers and others to drive small trucks on roads in counties that approve. Only county roads could be used.
"I'm a little disappointed we are not going far enough with this," Rep. Bud Nornes, R-Fergus Falls, said in calling for allowing the little trucks on all roads.
Sailer said that mini-trucks are becoming common, but since they do not meet federal safety standards they cannot be licensed and used as normal vehicles.
Under the bill, people who use rest areas would be required to properly throw out trash, would be forbidden from dumping household trash and could not drink alcoholic beverages. Also, the bill does not allow people to leave unattended vehicles or trailers.
An effort to remove the drinking ban narrowly failed.
A similar rest area bill is stalled in the Senate in a controversy about the drinking ban.
The bill also allows drivers to mount small navigation devices on the lower portion of a vehicle's windshield. Rep. Al Juhnke, DFL-Willmar, offered the successful amendment.
Cleaner water
Minnesota should spend $151 million in the next two years to clean the state's water, a Senate panel decided Tuesday.
Funds would come from a sales tax increase votes approved last November.
"This subcommittee proposal will keep the promise made to voters that we are going to clean and protect our waters for future generations of Minnesotans," Sen. Dennis Frederickson, R-New Ulm, said.
Frederickson said the clean water funding bill is the product of seven years' work.
He added that want clean water for a variety of recreational uses, but the state could face sanctions if it fails to meet federal clean-water guidelines. It will take new funding, such as through the sales tax increase, to pay for programs that will help the state meet federal guidelines, he said.
Frederickson, who long has worked on clean-water issues, said the vote is a big step toward finally complying with the 1972 federal Clean Water Act.
The bill requires the state to assess and monitor water quality.
Bisphenol opposed
Minnesota would become the first state to ban Bisphenol-A from children's products under a bill senators tentatively passed 54-11 Tuesday.
Several experts say Bisphenol-A is dangerous in food containers and other plastic products children use. But many Senate Republicans complained that no other state has banned the substance and they doubted whether it presents a danger.
Sewer change OK'd
The Central Lakes Regional Sanitary District should be dissolved, the Minnesota Senate voted Tuesday.
"It became very cost prohibitive," Sen. Bill Ingebrigtsen, R-Alexandria, said before senators gave his bill tentative approval. A similar House bill is pending.
The Legislature is considering the measure because the sewer district was established in law about six years ago. However, it never became operational.
The district, which was to serve six townships, incurred costs of $3.4 million in its effort to establish a sewer district in the past six years.
The bill would make it easier to sell sewer district assets, such as land, to help reduce costs townships would need to cover.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Review – Research New & Used Mercedes-Benz E-Class Models | Edmunds
Used Models
Long a favorite in the midsize luxury segment, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has provided an appealing mix of comfort, performance and safety for decades. The trademark qualities of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, such as vaultlike solidity and leading-edge technology, have also contributed to the E-Class' great popularity among luxury buyers. No matter what model year you're considering, this midsize Mercedes should be an excellent choice.
The current car bolsters itself with truly impressive variety. With four different body styles, and engines ranging from a fuel-efficient diesel to an ultra-high-performance AMG V8, there's an E-Class for just about anyone — provided they have the financial resources to procure one, of course. As always, you get the expected amount of luxury and convenience equipment for the class, along with standard-setting craftsmanship and engineering.
Current Mercedes-Benz E-Class
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan comes in four trim levels: the gasoline V6-powered E350 (302 horsepower), diesel-powered E350 Bluetec (210 hp), the twin-turbo V8-powered E550 (402 hp) and the pavement-scorching E63 AMG, which boasts a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 good for either 518 or 550 hp depending on whether you opt for the AMG Performance package. Rear-wheel drive is standard on all but the E550, which gets 4Matic all-wheel drive standard. It's optional on the gasoline E350.
There are also three other body styles: coupe, convertible and wagon. The coupe and convertible are available in all but Bluetec and AMG trims, while the wagon is E350 only. Rear-wheel drive is standard on the coupe and convertible, while the wagon gets all-wheel drive standard.
All models are equipped with a seven-speed automatic transmission.
All E-Class trims come with the expected luxuries, such as a dual-zone climate control, leather seating, power front seats and a powerful audio system. The convertible gets an innovative AirCap system, which reduces top-down turbulence significantly. The E63 AMG has unique exterior styling and interior trim, sport seats, upgraded brakes and an adaptive sport suspension.
In reviews, we've noted that the performance of any Mercedes-Benz E-Class is impressive. The E350 can hit 60 mph in about 6.5 seconds, while the E550 sprints to that speed in around 5 ticks and the AMG sedan will run it in well under 5. The handling and ride balance should please most folks, though the AMG's hard-core suspension may be too stiff for some.
There are very solid reasons for the E-Class' popularity, namely strengths in every area that counts in this segment, such as luxury, performance, safety and prestige. If you can afford one, you can't go wrong with a Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Used Mercedes-Benz E-Class Models
The current car represents the fourth-generation E-Class, which debuted for the 2010 model year. In that initial year, Mercedes only offered the E-Class as a gasoline-powered sedan and coupe. The wagon, convertible and E350 Bluetec arrived for 2011.
Until 2012, all but the Bluetec featured different engines. The E350's 3.5-liter V6 produced 268 hp, which was rather weak considering its competitors often offered 300 hp or more. The E550 came with a 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8 good for 382 hp, which was class-competitive. Finally, the E63 AMG had a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 that produced 518 hp and glorious sounds that made you smile for days.
Both of these V8 engines were superb even in light of their turbocharged successors. Another key difference is that models with all-wheel drive featured the same hydraulic power steering system as the other models — 4Matic currently comes with electric power steering.
The third-generation E-Class was produced from 2003-'09. The initial lineup consisted of the E320 sedan and wagon (221-hp gasoline V6) and the E500 sedan (302-hp V8). The wagon continued in previous-generation form for '03. Later that year, the E55 AMG sedan came online with a 469-hp supercharged V8. The 2004 model year brought the new generation wagon, which could be had in both E320 and E500 versions.
Mercedes also began offering the option of 4Matic all-wheel drive for both sedans and wagons. The 4Matic system was standard on the E500 wagon (which was discontinued after the '06 model year). In 2005, Mercedes added an E55 AMG wagon to the lineup, and for 2007, the AMGs were renamed E63 with the arrival of the larger V8 engine sans supercharger.
Also for '05, a diesel E-Class, the E320 CDI, returned to the family after a five-year hiatus. The E320 CDI was only available in 45 U.S. states due to stricter emissions standards in the remaining five states (California, Maine, Massachusetts, New York and Vermont) but was quick for a diesel; it could run to 60 mph in under 7 seconds. In 2006, the gasoline E320 became the E350, with the name change indicating a new 3.5-liter V6 making 268 hp.
The E500 became the E550 for '07, marking the arrival of the 5.5-liter V8, and the tweaked diesel-powered E320 featured a new Bluetec clean-burning diesel engine. For 2009, the E-Class received an updated audio system and a new hard-drive-based navigation system.
In reviews, we consistently praised this E-Class's restrained styling, luxurious interior and confident performance. In fact, there's not a lot of difference between the third- and fourth-generation models beyond the design language and the latter's unique coupe variant, so a pre-owned third-generation E-Class should deliver nearly as much satisfaction as a new E. With all those running changes, though, it will behoove used-car shoppers to pay close attention to the model year of the E-Class in question.
The second generation of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class ran from 1996-2002. This generation initiated the marque's signature cue, the four ellipsoid headlights. Although a few inches longer than the car before it, this E-Class had basically the same chassis as its predecessor. Offered at debut were sedans called the E300D diesel (134 hp), the E320 with an inline six-cylinder engine (217 hp) and the E420 V8 (275 hp).
By '98, the diesel had gained a turbo and more power (174 hp), a wagon returned, 4Matic all-wheel drive was offered and the gasoline inline-6 was replaced by a 221-hp V6. The E420 also became the E430 via a slightly larger (4.3-liter) V8. The following year, the hot-rod E55 AMG with its 349-hp V8 bowed.
Side curtain airbags came in '99, while the 2000 model year saw a revised cabin and front end, the exit of the diesel and more standard safety equipment (including stability control, as well as front and rear side airbags). Changes were minimal for the next couple of years.
Durable and well built, a second-generation E-Class from this generation should serve you well. As with any used car consideration, look for a complete and up-to-date maintenance history, since upkeep on an E-Class can be quite expensive (as with any German car).
The first-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class (1986-'95) was praised for its excellent combination of performance and safety. At first, it was available with either an inline-6 (300E) or a turbodiesel (300D), with V8 power coming a few years later. In addition to the sedan, coupe and wagon versions were offered.
The 300E furnished strong performance for a midsize luxury sedan of its day — zero to 60 mph took less than 8 seconds and top speed approached 140 mph. Serious enthusiasts might be interested in the limited-edition 500E sedan, which packed a Porsche-designed 322-hp V8 and was offered from 1992-'94.
Still desirable and known for a long service life, a well-kept E-Class from this generation will nonetheless be a costly vehicle to own when repairs are required.
