Rosman High School
Special to the Times-News
ROSMAN -- "Whoa! Did you almost see her flip?" "Man, that trooper looks mad!" "How many cars did he just take out?"
These were just a few of the comments made by students at Rosman High School as they watched fellow students participate in a drunk driving simulation. All sophomores, juniors and seniors had the opportunity to ride in and drive a golf cart through the obstacle course while wearing goggles that represent 0.17 blood alcohol levels.
The program, sponsored by the State Troopers, is generally only offered at the university level. However, troopers believe there is a need to educate younger students of the dangers and consequences of driving while impaired. West Henderson High School also offered the simulation during its prom week.
Although the students laughed as their classmates swerved around the parking lot, they were seriously affected by the message.
"I've wondered why they make such a big deal about drinking and driving," says senior Luke Thompson, "but now I don't even want to ride with someone who's been drinking."
Officer Greg Stroup, Resource Officer at RHS, reiterates previous comments. "If we can make an impact on one student, and affect his or her decisions about drinking and driving, then all our hard work and time is worth it."
State troopers Leland Jones and Rodney Stentson assisted local law enforcement officers with logistics, including going to Raleigh to pick up the golf cart. Sheriff deputies Kevin Holden, Lt. Eddie Lance, and Cpt. Jeff Hubbard, and Brevard Police Cpt. David Carter and Ralph Cobb were also present during the two-day event.
Rosman High School
ROSMAN -- This year more than 190 students at Rosman High School signed the pledge promising to remain drug and alcohol free on prom night. The SADD Club, under the leadership of Transylvania County Deputy Greg Stroup, planned and sponsored the third after-prom lock-in held at Brevard College.
The event was attended by more than 150 students, 14 faculty members and their spouses, six parents, other community members, and six Sheriff deputies.
Students ate eight pounds of candy, 35 Dominoes pizzas, 150 McDonalds' biscuits and drank 30 cases of drinks. They played basketball and volleyball, swam and watched eight movies. There were numerous door prizes. Tickets were donated by the Biltmore Estate, Lowe's Motor Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway, Six Flags Over Georgia, Asheville Tourists and Dollywood. Water bottles, coffee mugs, key chains, pens and pencils and lanyards were given away by the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine recruiters. Local radio stations donated T-shirts and CDs. Wal-Mart, the Elks Club, the Transylvania County Youth Association, several individuals, Sheriff Bobby Orr and Brevard Police Chief Dennis Wilde also supported the event. Co-sponsors Officer Greg Stroup and Julie Dudgeon are already working on plans for next year.
Brevard College
BREVARD -- Brevard College's Student Government Association recently presented its annual awards recognizing the contributions of faculty, staff and student groups on campus.
The Secretary of the Year Award was given posthumously to assistant to the president Elizabeth "Betty" S. Neale, who passed away in January.

The SGA Club and Campus Life awards were given to BC Recycles, Outstanding Service Project of the Year; Circle K, Outstanding Open-Campus Event of the Year; Young Politicians of America and the Brevard Percussion Society, Rookie Club of the Year.
The SGA award for Outstanding Club of the Year was presented to the Outing Club. Tom Underhill, a senior from Winston-Salem, was named the SGA Outstanding Resident Advisor of the Year.

Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Kumi-Taskbot 6
- The following discussion is an archived debate. Please do not modify it. To request review of this BRFA, please start a new section at WT:BRFA. The result of the discussion was Withdrawn by operator.
Kumi-Taskbot 6[edit]
Operator: Kumioko (talk · contribs)
Time filed: 02:59, Wednesday January 25, 2012 (UTC)
Automatic or Manual:
Programming language(s): C#, Regex, AWB
Source code available: See below
Function overview: Find and delete the unneeded WolterBot template from the WikiProjects
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): The bot has been dead for 2 years and a tool was created on the toolserver to replace it
Edit period(s): One time run
Estimated number of pages affected: 550
Exclusion compliant (Y/N): N, not applicable for this task
Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y
Function details: Find and delete the WolterBot templates leftover on the project pages. The bot has been dead for two years now and there is a new tool on the tooserver to replace the task. Therefore the WolterBot templates are no longer needed. The code I will be using to remove this is as follows:
- Find and delete: {{\s*User\:WolterBot(.*?)}}
It's possible that outright removing the templates might be putting the cart before the horse—that is, it might be skipping a step. Among other things, there seem to be a bunch of pages that might be affected, in a relatively minor way, due to two templates:
- Special:WhatLinksHere/User:WolterBot/Cleanup_listing_header — removing the template would make it difficult to track down those pages again; presumably the pages should be updated to reflect the new service location, deleted outright, or have some other means (e.g., category) of tracking backlinks.
- Special:WhatLinksHere/User:WolterBot/Cleanup listing subscription — similarly, this template might be better updated to reflect the new location of the service.
--slakr\ talk / 03:39, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
- The new tool is based on the toolserver rather than a bot that runs around. Additionally, its a completely separate method of signing up. The old and new processes use a completely different methodology and don't relate. The new tool uses the template, Template:WikiProject cleanup listing rather than the old one by Wolterbot, users request the tool by requesting it here and the information can be retrieved here. I hope this helps but please let me know if you have any more questions. --Kumioko (talk) 03:52, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
- When I was starting the toolserver-based version of cleanup listings, I used the contents of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions, that is filled by User:WolterBot/Cleanup listing subscription, as a base. So, all projects that were there at the time should have their listing in my project (except WikiProject Biography which I disabled, because it's too big). Since then, apparently about 20 projects were added, probably in attempt to create the listing for them. I have added those to my project now (and changed the template to the new one for them).
- But there is one group of pages in that category that could be useful: about 100 task forces. Dealing with them is more complicated, so I didn't add most of them to my version of the listings. Because of that, the category and the template that fills it may be useful in the future. User<Svick>.Talk(); 22:40, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Withdrawn by operator. - Based on the above explanation provided by Svick. --Kumioko (talk) 01:06, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. To request review of this BRFA, please start a new section at WT:BRFA.

With the WWE's Elimination Chamber less than three weeks away, the Royal Rumble results give the WWE Universe something to look forward to.
For the first time since August 2002, The Rock is WWE Champion. John Cena came through with his guarantee and won the Royal Rumble, earning himself a title match at WrestleMania 29. This sets up a rematch between the two at WrestleMania that could potentially be more anticipated than the first match.
There's only one thing standing in the way of Rock vs. Cena II—the Elimination Chamber. But with the short turnaround between pay-per-views, the WWE may not have time to develop new feuds. Look for the creative team to combine feuds for the WWE and World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber matches.
Here are some things to keep an eye on as Elimination Chamber draws closer.

Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Asuragen granted BD nonexclusive, worldwide rights to incorporate Armored RNA® technology into its in vitro molecular diagnostics products. Under the terms of the agreement Asuragen will develop and supply reagents for BD Diagnostics in Asuragen's cGMP manufacturing facility.
Armored RNA is a franchise technology jointly invented and developed by Asuragen and Cenetron Diagnostics for creating RNA and DNA standards for molecular diagnostic assays. Armored RNA has been incorporated into most HIV and HCV commercially available diagnostic assays that measure viral load and consequently is the leading internal control for infectious disease molecular diagnostic IVD assays, according to Asuragen.
The technology encapsulates RNA standards in a protective protein coat, assuring their integrity during long-term storage and "armors" the RNA standard against the hazards of nucleases in patient samples. RNA standards are essential to quantitative molecular diagnostic assays, and maintaining their integrity is crucial to obtaining accurate, reliable results.
Asuragen recently released Armored RNA Quant®, the next generation of quantitative standards. It contains a precisely quantified copy number of a specific target and is referenced to a National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) traceable phosphate standard. Armored RNA Quant can be used to construct standard curves for quantitation and as an internal quantitative sample calibrator for infectious disease and oncology testing. Asuragen has been introducing the technology into the oncology market and is developing it as an international inter-laboratory control standard for minimal residual disease testing.

Thinking about proposing an energy efficiency project?
Now may be the best time – prices are poised to rise on several key technologies, according to a report by IBISWorld, an industry market research provider. The report identified four top savings strategies that are likely to see changes in demand and cost in the next three years.
Energy management systems: The average commercial building wastes roughly 30% of the energy it consumes, according to the report, mainly due to inefficient HVAC and lighting. This waste, coupled with rising utility prices, is driving up demand for energy management systems.
Improvements in wireless technology are reducing the amount of wiring needed and helping temper installation costs. IBISWorld predicts costs will rise at an annualized rate of just 1.5% between now and 2017 and says that buyers who need multiple systems can generally bundle purchases to receive discounts or favorable maintenance contracts.
Window and door installation: Recent expansion in construction and renovation activity is contributing to a larger demand, which is giving suppliers greater pricing leverage and driving up costs, according to the report. Installation services for windows and doors are forecasted to rise at an annualized rate of 2%, IBISWorld says.
HVAC services: Because HVAC systems are the second-largest source of energy consumption in commercial buildings, installation and maintenance services for HVAC are expected to continue rising in both demand and price.
Costs for HVAC system construction are likely to increase at a faster pace with an annualized rate of 7.2%, mainly thanks to greater investment in buildings. As a result of this, installation and maintenance demands will also grow, with their costs following suit – an annualized rate of 4.2% over the three-year period is predicted. To help lock in lower prices, the report recommends long-term contracts with suppliers.
Solar panel installation: Only about 1% of U.S. energy comes from solar installations, but this figure is an increase from just three years ago thanks in part to government initiatives and incentives. SunShot Initiative, a national collaborative backed by the DOE, hopes to increase that share to 14% by 2030.
Demand is expected to continue rising.However, IBISWorld predicts that solar panel installation prices will actually fall during the three-year period (at an annualized rate of 3.7%), mainly due to the incentives. The costs of the panels themselves have dropped more than 60% since 2010.

MUNICH May 3 Top seed Fabio Fognini brought German qualifier Jan-Lennard Struff crashing down to earth with a 6-3 6-1 victory on Saturday that sent him through to the Munich Open final where he will meet another qualifier in Martin Klizan.
Slovak Klizan outclassed defending champion Tommy Haas, back from a six-week injury break, in straight sets to keep his sensational run alive.
Clay court specialist Fognini, the world number 15, gave Struff no chance on a cool spring day in Munich.
"I did exactly what I had to do," the Italian, chasing his second title of the year, told reporters. "I did exactly what my coach told me. I do not know if it is Struff's first semi-final but he did it well here this week."
Klizan, ranked 111, was equally dominant against Haas in his 6-3 6-2 win, booking his second career final after beating Fognini in the St Petersburg decider in 2012.
He had also beaten seeds Mikhail Youzhny and Denis Istomin in earlier rounds.
"That was a very bitter day for me," said the 36-year-old Haas, with his shoulder injury flaring up again and slowing down his serve considerably. "I am very disappointed because I had played good tennis in the previous days."

Lesbian spoof of the '80s sitcom Facts of Life.
Oh my, the double entendres just keep on coming, and so do the girls of the Eastwood school in this spoof of the campy '80s sitcom suggested by the title. In this version, the girls are all lesbians and so is their den mother, Mrs. Gariss.
The excellent screenplay replicates the zaniness of the original sitcom. The girls overhear Mrs. Gariss appreciating a plumber's "big tools" and assume that she's gone straight. Determined to convert Mrs. Gariss back to the Sapphic sisterhood, the girls attempt to seduce her but to no avail. Finally, the girls confess their concerns, which leads to a group orgy.

American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys 2013 Boot Camp Preview Training
Watch This Video To Discover How Lawyers Across The Country Are Taking Back Their Lives, Cornering Their Markets And Enjoying Explosive Practice Growth...
And Join Us For A Webinar To Learn The
11 Specific Practice Management and Marketing Systems They Used To Do It-FREE!
Wednesday, July 17th at 2 PM Pacific / 5 PM Eastern
Presenters: Robert Armstrong and Sanford M. Fisch
Attorneys, Co-authors of The E-Myth Attorney and Founders of
The American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys
For 20 years, the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys has helped lawyers from all backgrounds transform their practices into thriving, profitable law firms while living fulfilling lives outside of the office.
As you heard in the above video, most Academy members credit their success to the implementation of 11 Essential Systems that allow for full practice automation, streamlined processes and turn-key marketing solutions that take the guesswork out of where clients and revenue streams are coming from every month.
While many Members implement Academy systems so they can ultimately sell their practice, other Members have used the practice management and marketing systems to create a growing practice and a flexible lifestyle for themselves and their family. The number of Academy Members who work 4 days per week, yet have thriving practices, continues to grow.
In Celebration Of Our 20th Anniversary, We Invite You To Learn The 'Inner Workings' Of These Systems During Our Exclusive Webinar Training: 11 Core Strategies To Create a Purpose and Profit Driven Practice
During this live webinar, Robert Armstrong and Sanford M. Fisch of the American Academy will walk non-members through a unique law practice audit to help attendees get a baseline of what systems they already have in place, what's missing and how to spot costly 'leaks' in easy-to-overlook areas such as:
Where are you losing potential clients and referrals? Is it due to a website that lacks punch? Staff lacking warmth during an initial phone call? Missing systems for client engagement or follow up?
Where are you hemorrhaging money? Are you losing dollars on advertising that doesn't convert? Taking on the wrong clients and not charging enough? Staffing and productivity issues?
Where are you losing the valuable commodity of time? Do you feel like a slave to your practice? Are you still doing things that should be delegated, automated and removed from your plate?
And most importantly, are you overlooking simple shortcuts and resources to help fix these problems ASAP?
Wednesday, July 17th at 2 PM Pacific/ 5 PM Eastern
These Systems Really Work
The Academy has given me the systems to start my own office. Everything. From templates to education, to marketing, how to do the seminars, adding financial services to my office, Medicaid, writing blogs, optimizing my office on search engines and the Internet. You name it, this group really provides it. Of everything I've done in my legal career, this has been my favorite opportunity and each and every year I keep growing with it.
Cheryl David, Greensboro, NC
Thriving After Years of Struggle
After years of struggle, I'm finally enjoying the practice I envisioned when I first set out on my own. My lifestyle is a lot better. I am more relaxed, I don't work on weekends or evenings. That's something I didn't have before.
Michael Bonfrisco, Cherry Hill, NJ.
Einstein once said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
This webinar will not only help you uncover the habits that are holding you back from the success you desire, but introduce you to our 11 proven systems that will help you grow a bigger practice, gain visibility in your community, attract an endless supply of new clients and referrals and serve your clients in a highly efficient and innovative way.
Whether you are an experienced estate planning attorney, newly solo, or transitioning from another practice area, this webinar will also help you discover:
As an anniversary bonus, you will also receive, upon live attendance, an electronic version of our exclusive Law Firm Systems Audit and a free copy of The E-Myth Attorney, written by New York Times best-selling author Michael Gerber and co-authored by Robert Armstrong and Sanford M. Fisch of the American Academy.
Robert and Sandy literally wrote the book on running a successful estate planning practice, and they've spent the past 20 years helping thousands of attorneys across the country do the same.
Now it's time to zero in on YOUR practice, starting with an honest audit of what systems and processes you already have in place, what's missing and how to break past common roadblocks of future scalability and growth.
Don't wait to register for this live webinar that will help you get back on your A-game and quickly dominate your local market this year and beyond.

One Of The Best Decisions I Ever Made
In 2006, we decided to go to the Boot Camp and learn a little bit more about the Academy and it's probably one of the best decisions that we've made. I could say that being in this practice has been wonderful. It allows us to control our time and the ability to spend time with our kids is enhanced. We are very thankful to the Academy.
Michael Davidov - New York, NY
The Bootcamp Was 100% Worth It
I can honestly say that not only has my practice been transformed but consequently my life has been transformed as well. I'm having more fun in my practice than I ever had before. I have more time with my family. I would certainly encourage anyone who may be on the fence to at least investigate, ask the hard questions, but I think you'll find that your trip will be worthwhile.

Delcam CRISPIN to show ShoeMaker, ShoeCost and Engineer Pro in Vietnam
Delcam CRISPIN will demonstrate the latest releases of its ShoeMaker, ShoeCost and Engineer Pro software for the design and manufacture of all types of footwear at the Shoes & Leather Vietnam exhibition to be held in Ho Chi Minh City from 16th to 18th July.
For further details on these new releases, please go to www.footwear-cadcam.com.
Delcam CRISPIN is the world's largest supplier of design and manufacturing software to the footwear industry. It is the only supplier able to provide a complete solution for the 3D design and manufacture of lasts, uppers and soles.
ShoeMaker is the only footwear CAD program to integrate fully the 3D design of lasts, uppers and soles, so allowing the complete shoe to be developed and visualised in a single system. This integrated approach benefits all footwear designers, but is particularly advantageous for companies making sports shoes and other designs that include complex soles.
The 2014 version offers improved visualisation of designs with the new KeyShot rendering engine, plus the ability to create lasts for boot designs, more options for heel design, and additional items in the extensive library of accessories supplied with the software.
ShoeCost provides a clear breakdown of all the costs involved in footwear manufacture, making it easy to compare the actual cost of the shoe to the target cost. Costs can be included for cut pattern pieces and components, as well as for labour and overheads. The overall cost for the shoe changes dynamically when the simple drag and drop functionality is used to add or remove elements of the design, such as pattern pieces and components. This makes it easy for footwear professionals to stay within their target cost and to produce accurate costing reports quickly.
A more intuitive interface has been introduced for the 2014 release, together with closer integration with other Delcam CRISPIN CADCAM packages to streamline the design and manufacturing process, whilst still giving manufacturers better control over costs and profitability.
Engineer Pro helps users to produce samples and graded footwear patterns for manufacturing in the fastest possible time, whilst also helping to minimise tooling costs. The 2014 version includes a number of enhancements that add 'intelligence' to the software, and so make it more intuitive and faster to use.
One of these enhancements can be seen when creating a chain from a series of intersecting lines. Engineer Pro anticipates the chain that the user wants and highlights the potential chain as the cursor hovers over a line. A single click accepts the chain, making the process very quick.
For further information on the Delcam CRISPIN range of software, please contact: -

The New Zealand Herald understands the 32-year-old has been
seeing Black Sticks midfielder Gemma Flynn for at least six
months. It is also understood the couple spent Christmas
McCaw did not return calls. His agent Dean Hegan - who is
also agent to All Black teammate Dan Carter - could not
confirm details.
He said he doubted McCaw would speak about anything to do
with a relationship.
Mr Hegan said McCaw was in Auckland fulfilling requirements
for an advertisement.
Flynn, 22, is a student at Massey University and is studying
towards a bachelor's degree in sports science.
She is originally from Tauranga but is living in Auckland.
Her mother, Michelle, laughed and politely declined to
comment when the Herald called.
Flynn is regarded as one of the country's top players.
She was in the team that went to the London Olympics last
year and also played at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
Flynn was named yesterday in the Black Sticks squad for the
five-test series against Argentina starting on February 24.
McCaw told Radio Live in April: "There's actually no one at
the moment - I'm still on the lookout."
Past girlfriends have included broadcaster Nicola Grigg and
sports presenter and dancer Hayley Holt.
- Vaimoana Tapaleao of the New Zealand Herald
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
Good to see the big news stories being tackled.
Also, I'm shocked that no commenters have yet managed to tie
this to the Forsyth Barr Stadium in some way.

By James Arriola, Installation Safety Office, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. January 3, 2012
JOINT BASE LEWIS-McCHORD, Wash. (Jan. 3, 2012) -- We'd been there about two weeks when my 12-year-old cousin proudly showed us his father's M16 rifle.
Before handing me the rifle so I could get a closer look, my cousin took out the magazine and placed the safety lever on safe.
I raised the butt to my shoulder and aimed it outside. I had no idea how a rifle worked and I pulled the trigger, pretending to shoot targets. After watching me for a few minutes, my cousin wanted to show me how it worked. He grabbed the rifle from me, switched off the safety and pulled the trigger.
BANG! Smoke filled the room as we stared at each other in shock. Almost immediately, we heard my uncle screaming and saw him running toward us.
As it turned out, the last time my uncle fired the rifle, a round automatically loaded in the chamber. Not knowing this, my cousin thought that the rifle was safe by simply removing the magazine.
Although spared from my uncle's beating, the idea of accidentally shooting somebody -- or being shot -- stuck with me for the rest of my vacation. In fact, the incident still resonates with me today.
Now that I'm one of the "safety guys," I tend to run this scenario through my head. I try to make sense of it all and wonder what we could've done differently. We were young and didn't recognize the danger of handling a weapon.
The rifle should've been locked up and not accessible to us. My uncle also should have talked to us about the dangers associated with handling a gun.
This incident taught me a valuable lesson at a young age and made me realize the importance of educating others -- Soldiers, civilians and family members -- on weapons handling safety. We were lucky no one was shot that day, and my experience truly made an impact on how I view and do things to this very day.
I'm a firm believer in learning from life-changing events. Learning from those mistakes may one day keep us from ending up seriously injured or, even worse, dead.
No one is immune to weapons-handling accidents. In fiscal 2011, five Soldiers died because of negligent discharges. Remember to THINK weapons safety:
--Treat every weapon as if it is loaded.
--Handle every weapon with care.
--Identify the target before you fire.
--Never point the muzzle at anything you do not intend to shoot.
--Keep the weapon on safe and your finger off the trigger until you intend to fire.
The U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center developed the Range & Weapons Safety Toolbox, https://safety.army.mil/rangeweaponssafety, to aid commanders and leaders in the management of range operations and safe weapons handling. The toolbox provides a centralized collection of resources to establish and maintain safe and effective training programs for ranges and both military and privately owned weapons.

Background Rosacea is a chronic facial skin disease of unclear origin. Epidemiological data are scarce and controversial, with reported prevalences ranging from 0·09% to 22%. To our knowledge, incidence rates have not been quantified before.
Objectives In this observational study we quantified incidence rates of diagnosed rosacea in the U.K. and described demographic characteristics and the prevalence of ocular symptoms in patients with rosacea. We compared lifestyle factors such as smoking and alcohol consumption between patients with rosacea and controls.
Methods Using the U.K.-based General Practice Research Database, we identified patients with an incident diagnosis of rosacea between 1995 and 2009 and matched them (1 : 1) to rosacea-free control patients. We assessed person-time of all patients at risk and assessed incidence rates of rosacea, stratified by age, sex, year of diagnosis and region.
Results We identified 60 042 rosacea cases and 60 042 controls (61·5% women). The overall incidence rate for diagnosed rosacea in the U.K. was 1·65 per 1000 person-years. Rosacea was diagnosed in some 80% of cases after the age of 30 years. Ocular symptoms were recorded in 20·8% of cases at the index date. We observed a significantly reduced relative risk of developing rosacea among current smokers (odds ratio 0·64, 95% confidence interval 0·62–0·67). Alcohol consumption was associated with a marginal risk increase.
Conclusions We quantified incidence rates and characteristics of patients with rosacea diagnosed in clinical practice in a large epidemiological study using primary care data from the U.K. Smoking was associated with a substantially reduced risk of developing rosacea.

Global Fiber Optics: Growing Access and Faster Backbones
The impact of fiber networks could potentially erode the business case for satellite going forward, but then how is fiber technology progressing? Here, we take a closer look at one of the key communications' technologies and the latest developments in the fiber world.
Amidst global economic challenges, demand for fiber optics has remained relatively strong. The number of fiber-to-the-home/or building (FTTH/B) subscribers continues to grow, as does the need for increasingly fast data transmission rates in metro and core optical networks.
While far from the fiber frenzy — and crash of a decade ago — the industry today is humming along to its own tune. "There is plenty of fiber going on," says Ron Kline, principal analyst, network infrastructure, at technology research firm Ovum. The number of fiber endpoints is growing at various places throughout the world, especially in Asia. As for transmission equipment, several applications already require speeds in excess of 10 Gbps.
One driver is wireless. "There's been a huge build in all the metros for all of this cell tower business," Kline says.
Global Fiber Access
Total estimates vary, but the trend is clear. According to ABI Research, the number of FTTH subscribers in mid-2011 was 69.6 million. The FTTH Council's mid-2011 total was 66 million. More importantly, that's 10 million, or about 18 percent, higher than in 2010. It's a healthy clip, but looking just at the United States, one wonders.
In March 2010, Verizon quietly announced that it was ending its build-out of FiOS. In a deal to acquire spectrum from cable companies announced at the end of 2011, Verizon also agreed to co-market its own wireless services with cable's video and broadband services. The upshot, according to Craig Moffett, Sanford Bernstein senior analyst, is that "Verizon has effectively validated (cable) as the superior set of ground facilities."
There remain hundreds of small service providers deploying FTTH, supported in part by more than $2 billion in U.S. government broadband stimulus funds. Yet, at the end of Verizon's costly builds, its concession to cable and focus on wireless is significant. Penetration of FTTH/FTTB (aka FTTx) subscribers in the United States was about 8 percent in 2011, which is essentially unmoved from 2010.
North America at large is looking somewhat stronger. A market analysis commissioned by the FTTC Council and released in September 2011 indicated that the continent had an 18 percent growth in subscribers from the previous year, largely because of activity in Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.
Shipments of Gigabit and Ethernet passive optical networking (GPON/EPON) equipment, nonetheless, continue to grow. Julie Kunstler, Ovum principal analyst and author of a mid-2011 report on the market said it is no real mystery that, "China is the biggest consumer of FTTx equipment right now and that is set to continue."
According to the FTTH Council, about 70 percent of the world's FTTH subscribers currently reside in Asia. This is the result of top-ranking fiber penetration ratios in South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan. But the sheer size of China will shift the market even more toward the Pacific. China Telecom plans to pass 40 million households with fiber in 2011, 80 million by 2013 and more than 100 million by 2015, linking all of China's major cities along the way.
But, an economic slowdown in China could shift resources away from these ambitious projects. That said, Ovum has predicted that by 2016 China would represent more than 50 percent of the world's FTTx subscribers.
Deployments are occurring elsewhere, as well. The Council notes that from 2010 to 2011 the number of countries with measurable household penetration of FTTH subscribers increased by four, from 24 to 28.
Newcomers include Turkey, Ukraine, Hungary and the United Arab Emirates, the latter leaping to first place, with one-third of all homes in that Persian Gulf state taking fiber services. That ranking followed an aggressive rollout by UAE-based Etisalat, which gave Abu Dhabi bragging rights as the first capital city to have a complete fiber optic network. Another notable on the FTTH Council list was Russia. Installation of fiber in buildings across 31 Russian cities by cable TV operator ER-Telecom made it the fastest growing market on the European continent.
Singapore and Australia
Deployments tend to be deep in highly urbanized countries whose economies are characterized by close relations between government and industry. That is the case with two ongoing builds in the Pacific: Singapore's Next-Generation Nationwide Broadband Network (NGNBN), which is implementing the city state's Intelligent Nation (iN2015) blueprint; and Australia's NBN Co., a government-supported open access network that is aiming to reach nearly all of the country with fiber by 2021. The NBN project is one of the most interesting network projects going on right now, and has a very clear satellite component. Companies such as Gilat Satellite Networks have already won key contracts here, as the Australian government aims to reduce digital divides across the country. Optus and Thaicom also are involved in the NBN project.
To realize the iN2015 vision, the Singapore government has committed up to SG $1 billion ($764 million) and established what Cesar Bechelet, senior analyst at advisory firm Analysys Mason and author of a report on the topic, calls "an innovative three-layer model."
While attributing the rapid rollout of fiber to the country's "high population density and level of urbanization," Bechelet also notes that the joint venture responsible for building the NGNBN fiber platform was able to capitalize on the assets of SingTel, the incumbent telco, as that company's broadband infrastructure was gradually divested to a neutral holding company.
The Australian project is also multi-pronged. According to NBN Co. CTO Gary McLaren, "the mission is two-fold – giving the country the latest broadband technology and restructuring the market." But there are difficulties, as Australia's opposition coalition party continues to lodge objections, making it no trivial task to align all stakeholders. In a recent holdup, Australia's chief regulatory body failed to meet a December 2011 deadline to approve the A$30 billion ($31.96 billion) planned payoff to Telstra for its agreement to disconnect customers from copper and HFC networks.
Consensus may be harder to reach in Australia than elsewhere, but NBN Co. is forging ahead, continuing work on a wholesale access network that it started two years ago. And while not as dense as Singapore, Seoul or Shanghai, Australian cities constitute home for most inhabitants. To reach 93 percent of the country's homes and offices with fiber, McLaren says that the project will likely not cover even 2 percent of the landmass. "We're a very urbanized country, despite perception around the world," he says.
NBN Co. is all the same extending its reach to some 600 smaller communities, concentrating those fiber runs back to 121 points of interconnect. "The actual transmission from all of those remote (sites) still needs about 50,000 km of backhaul fiber," McLaren says.
Reaching the 93 percent with fiber is a hard stop. "Once we go past that, we can see that it becomes too costly," McLaren says. "Then we look to LTE wireless as a next step." Beyond that NBN Co. will enlist satellites. "We expect we'll need eight to 10 of our earth stations to get the capacity we'll need, (then) backbone fiber network to get those points of interconnect."
NBN Co. is expected to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on two new high-speed broadband satellites.
Speeds Beyond 10 Gbps
The underlying drivers of fiber builds — growth of video, data and mobile services — have led to switch and router interfaces and transport equipment that handle throughputs in excess of 10 Gbps. That evolution is several years in the works, but the need for more speed, up to 100 Gbps, is accelerating.
"The interesting thing about 100 Gbps is that it is coming to market a lot faster than 40 Gbps did," says Kline. "40 Gbps was around in 2000, but it took six years for people to commercialize it, and it didn't hit its stride until 2010."
Kline estimates shipments of 40 Gbps equipment annualized during the past four quarters at $1.8 billion and 100 Gbps at only $80 million. In 2012, he expects 100 Gbps to ramp up quickly. By 2016, the two categories could approach parity, with 40 Gbps at $3.4 billion and 100 Gbps at $3 billion. Given that 100 Gbps trials (at Verizon and Comcast) began about three years ago, 100 Gbps will have reached $3 billion in half the time as 40 Gbps.
The uses to which the faster optical transport has been put include core backbones, video distribution, enterprise data, mobile backhaul, subsea transport, cloud-based services and content distribution. "We are 40 Gbps on our core network, on the DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) links," says McLaren. "We are actually quite sophisticated, looking to update to 100 Gbps in the next year or so."
Comcast's national backbone, anchored by two master media centers, led it to become a natural promoter of 40 Gbps transmission equipment and a leader in 100 Gbps standards development. One requirement for Comcast and other major MSOs is to distribute large files of video on demand (VOD) content. A related video transport application is the evolution of Internet-based content distribution networks (CDNs).
One trend that has appeared in the data space is the growing need of enterprises. At the SuperComputing 2011 event last December, a team of scientists and network engineers used a 100 Gbps circuit to demonstrate a combined bi-directional, two-day transfer of data across a wide area network at a rate of 186 Gbps. An extreme example, but companies serving enterprises and large data centers need to provide throughput that matches increasingly large, internally generated volumes of data.
For mobile, Kline says that 10 Gbps would work fine in the first part the backhaul network at the base of the tower. "When you get back to the second part of the tier, to the aggregation to a single point where the switch is, those tend to be fiber-based wavelengths," he says. "In China, those numbers are big. They use 40 Gbps on those aggregation networks that are the backbones of mobile."
The business case for 40 Gbps, however, is not universal. "On the pure terrestrial side, 10 Gbps is still the unit cost leader," says John Hayduk, president, product management and service development at Tata Communications. In response to several RFPs issued in early 2011, Tata had one vendor offer 40 Gbps at 92 percent of the cost of four 10Gs. "For everyone else, 40 Gbps was still a premium," he says.
Where Tata has deployed 40 Gbps in production is its undersea network. "We were able to apply 40 Gbps terrestrial unit costs to subsea segments where we got a material unit cost advantage," Hayduk says. In its subsea deployments, Tata has used 40 Gbps/100 Gbps coherent optical technology from Ciena. (Coherence allows a receiver to detect phase and amplitude of a signal and then process it.) In the next year Tata will begin evaluating the use of 40 Gbps or 100 Gbps in a few fiber-constrained cases. "That's where we see that technology, at least until the unit cost barrier it broken," he says.
Tata is not the only network operator waiting for prices to drop. "The economics still favor 10 Gbps, and vendors are making a lot of improvements," says Paul Savill, senior vice president, core product management at Level 3.
Savill says that Level 3, which closed its acquisition of Global Crossing in October 2011, is engaged in 100 Gbps, with one deployment for a large research and development customer and another for its own backbone and use. But when prices become competitive, Global Crossing may act boldly. "We're going to leapfrog 40 Gbps and jump right into 100 Gbps and convert our backbone," he says.
So how do these deployments and trends influence the satellite industry? Accelerating speeds and declining costs on core backbone and metro links will shape content and distribution partner relations. A lot will also depend on telcos' willingness to invest in next generation networks. Advances in fiber network speeds, however, are happening at a dizzying pace. Satellite must look to find its niche on the future communications landscape. While it may never match-up in a speed race, it can bring other advantages to bear, such as comprehensive coverage. In Australia, the fusion of satellite, fiber and wireless could be a sign of things to come.
The role of new wholesale access networks, such as those being built in Singapore and Australia, will have the most impact on the companies being restructured in the process. The impact of FTTH around the world will depend upon positions of comparable services being offered in particular markets — both country-specific and urban vs. rural — over fiber and satellite networks.

In the last years, the performance of integral equation solvers based on the Greenpsilas function of planar multilayered media could be further increased especially by reducing the numerical complexity of the standard method of moments (MoM) with the help of fast integral equation techniques employing an efficient matrix-vector product evaluation within the iterative solution process. These methods are based e.g. on conjugate gradient solvers attached to fast Fourier transformations (CG-FFT) combined with the complex image method or combinations of the latter method with the adaptive integral equation method (AIM) [Ling et al., 1996]. Other approaches make use of the fast multipole method (FMM) combined with the complex image method or a perfectly matched layer technique [Ginste et al., 2006]. In contrast to this, we have introduced in [Vaupel et al., 2006] a new kind of a fast integral equation solver directly based on the analytically available spectral domain Greenpsilas function of the multilayered environment. Using all these methods, only a small part of the fully populated system matrix must be computed explicitly whereas the remaining matrix related to far interactions is only implicitly involved in the matrix-vector product evaluation.
