The Fox-1A Engineering Unit transponder was on the air at 2014 Space Symposium. Attendees were able to work each other through the transponder and pose for pictures while holding the actual engineering unit. In addition, the slow speed telemetry that accompanies every voice ID beacon and transponder conversation was being received, decoded, and displayed for all to see.

Fox-1 Update – Slow Speed Telemetry
The Fox-1 series of satellites feature a slow speed telemetry, with 200 bps data being sent along with the transponder audio or voice ID activity. This allows telemetry to be sent continuously during normal transponder operation while QSOs are taking place.
The slow speed data is contained in the audio spectrum below 300 Hz. Using DSP techniques, high pass filtering is applied to the uplink signal and voice IDs, low pass filtering is applied to the telemetry audio which is generated by the IHU, and the combined audio is sent on the downlink as the voice and data. Forward error correction added to the downlink stream provides data recovery for up to 1/4 second signal fades.
The slow speed data on Fox-1A contains four different payload types: Current telemetry readings, High telemetry readings, Low telemetry readings, and Vanderbilt University radiation experiment telemetry. The payloads are transmitted in a scheduled rotation that delivers one payload or frame about every 5 seconds. Current telemetry is thus received every 15 seconds, experiment telemetry is received about twice every 15 seconds, and high or low telemetry received once every minute (alternating minutes between high and low).
The telemetry contains many satellite health and operation values, including readings such as solar panel output, battery voltages, temperatures from various areas of the satellite, IHU performance, and the Penn State University MEMS gyro experiment data.
AMSAT will be providing free GUI software for decoding and displaying both slow and high speed telemetry from the Fox-1 series of satellites, as we get closer to launch. The software will be similar to the user software that was provided for ARISSat-1.

This is the third time Carmelo Anthony has had to miss time this season. Friday's night's matchup against the Sacramento Kings marked the second-straight game the New York Knicks superstar had to miss. He is battling a hyper-extended left knee.
According to Nate Taylor of the New York Times, Anthony appeared to be walking better than he had been in the previous two days since he suffered the injury. Anthony injured his knee on Christmas Day. Taylor says Anthony hopes to play Tuesday.
Anthony has missed two games at a time with each of his injuries. He suffered a sprained ankle, and lacerated finger, and now a hyper-extended knee. Anthony has been the heart and soul of this Knicks team. He drives them to the success they've had. With all the other injuries the team has battled and is battling, Anthony and the Knicks can't afford any more down time.
Anthony is averaging 28.5 points per game and 6.2 rebounds per game. In his career, Anthony has averaged 24.8 points per game and 6.3 rebounds per game. He is hoping to lead the suddenly meaningful Knicks to a deep run through the playoffs.

About the International Report
The findings in the report challenge much of the received wisdom about call centers, which depicts them as low-skilled, footloose operations that are shifting jobs from advanced to industrializing countries – particularly India, but also South Africa, North Africa, the Philippines, and South America. Instead, the international survey documents the emergence of this sector at about the same time in many countries around the globe – roughly in the last 5 to 12 years.
Call centers serve a broad range of customers in all industry sectors and offer a wide range of services from very simple to quite complex. The sector is an important source of employment and new job creation everywhere. Moreover, the overwhelming majority of call centers in this study serves the country's own domestic market, rather than the international market. The majority of centers are in-house rather than outsourced operations and are relatively small in scale and scope.
The mobility of call center operations has led many to view this sector as a paradigmatic case of the globalization of service work. And we find that the call centers do have certain characteristics in common – especially in their market scope, service offerings, and organizational features. A substantial proportion of centers do follow a cost-minimisation approach, with high levels of standardisation.
But there is little evidence of convergence towards a 'global call center model'. Instead, these workplaces take on the character of their own countries and regions, based on distinct laws, customs, institutions, and norms.
The 'globalization' of call center activities has a distinctively national face. Centers vary considerably in their approach to the design of work and the quality of jobs, human resource practices such as training and performance management, and collective bargaining structures. Managers adopt a range of alternative strategies to customer service, from transactional to quite professional. These differences arise from distinct national and regional institutional environments, business strategies, and operational choices.
Differences in labor market institutions are one major source of differentiation. In the coordinated economies of continental Europe, a high proportion of call centers is covered by union and works council representation. In these countries, employers and employee representatives often consult or negotiate over work design and human resource practices.
Compared to centers in liberal market or recently industrialized countries, those in coordinated economies have better quality jobs, lower turnover, and lower wage dispersion. Call centers in coordinated countries also make greater use of subcontracting and part-time contracts as strategies to increase organizational flexibility, and this is likely to be a means of circumventing labor market regulations.
While institutions shape variation across countries, alternative business strategies help to explain differences within countries. Of particular importance in this sector is the use of customer segmentation strategies. Centers that target a unique customer group are able to design their management and employment systems to match the demand characteristics of that group.
Thus we found, for example, that compared to mass market call centers, call centers serving business make greater use of sophisticated customer relationship technologies, offer better quality jobs, pay higher wages, use team work more extensively, and employ a greater proportion of full-time permanent staff. They do this as it enables them to provide better quality service and to meet the more complex needs of business customers.
The different strategic and operational contexts of in-house centers and subcontractors also explain our finding that, in virtually all countries in the study, subcontractors differ significantly from in-house centers in their management and employment systems.
Compared to in-house centers, subcontractor operations have more standardised jobs with lower skills and pay, higher performance monitoring, higher turnover, greater use of part-time and contingent staff, and lower union representation. These attributes may be explained by their higher strategic emphasis on cost reduction and greater fluctuation in demand as they handle multiple client contracts.
In sum, the emerging international call center sector is a complex and rapidly changing landscape. While on-going cost pressures shape management practices, alternative strategies and institutional innovations are emerging that hold promise for quality jobs and service and offer opportunities for constructive economic development. As this sector continues to grow in size and importance, employers and public policy makers will need to consider what changes are needed to ensure its sustainability and its role in economic development.
Generous funding for this research has come from universities, government agencies, and non-profit foundations in each country. Particular thanks go to The Russell Sage Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, the Hans Böckler Foundation, and the Economic and Social Research Council of the UK for the support of international research coordination and conferences.
View the sponsors page for a full list of all sponsors. Call center employers' associations also actively supported the study in many countries by encouraging members to participate. The report is not based on funding from private corporations or companies operating in the call center sector.


text: Arianna Huffington to 'Dahling' Mehdi Hasan: 'Sleep Your Way to the Top!' Print article Send a Tip by Raheem Kassam 3 Jun 2014 post a comment I often watch 'Mehdi's Minute' – a curious and scarcely viewed YouTube series by the Huffington Post which features their UK 'political director' Mehdi Hasan waxing lyrical about things you can tell he barely understands. The 60-seconds of hate is accompanied by a hilariously 90's music accompaniment from a 'Free Music Archive', and regularly features cameos from HuffPo's friends and family. But this week, I just couldn't not write about. It is a real shit show: Firstly, Mehdi, it is pronounced "kis-uhn-jer". Here's a tutorial. Secondly, that "quote" that you attribute to him is widely noted to have originally come from President Woodrow Wilson and/or Wallace Stanley Sayre. Kissinger only came to it in 1997 when he said: "I formulated the rule that the intensity of academic politics and the bitterness of it is in inverse proportion to the importance of the subject they're discussing. And I promise you at Harvard, they are passionately intense and the subjects are extremely unimportant." But never mind about accuracy in media eh, Mehdi? You only write for the Huffington Post after all. And I wonder how Mehdi felt deep down about this week's special guest, Arianna Huffington, placing her hand around her "dahling" Mehdi and telling him to er... "sleep your way to the top!" If Mehdi's historical vitriol against Western lifestyles are anything to go by, you can be sure he wouldn't have appreciated that joke... nor will he be "kissing her"... Kissinger... geddit?

The only thing that matters to the right-hander is that he keeps winning games for his team. And that's something Fister's teammates notice,…
Instant analysis: Nats 7, Mets 1
Aug 6, 2014, 9:37 PM EST
GAME IN A NUTSHELL: On the heels of a tough loss, who do the Nationals give the ball to? Doug Fister. The formula has worked all season, and it worked again tonight. Fister was dominant yet again, shutting out the Mets into the eighth inning without so much as breaking a sweat before getting charged…
Should struggling Harper actually move up in lineup?
Aug 6, 2014, 11:00 AM EST
Bryce Harper is searching at the plate, this much is obvious. Every time it appears the young slugger is headed on the right track, he falls back into a mini-slump and starts flailing at pitches he has little chance of hitting with authority. Harper now has stepped to the plate 205 times this season, a…
After rare meltdown, Nationals will try to regroup
Jul 29, 2014, 12:35 AM EST
MIAMI — The 2014 Nationals really haven't had to deal with losses like this, gut-punch losses in which a 6-run lead somehow turns into a 7-6 loss before anyone has sufficient time to process the carnage. The mood inside the visitors clubhouse at Marlins Park on Monday night was one of disbelief, a group of…
Consistency propels Nats to NL's best record
Jul 28, 2014, 6:00 AM EST
There seems to be a sense among many that the Nationals haven't really taken off as a team this season, that there's a much higher level of success yet to reach for a talented ballclub that hasn't achieved its full potential. And perhaps that's true. Maybe the Nationals are still capable of going on some…
Who should DH for Nats the next 2 nights?
Jul 9, 2014, 10:00 AM EST
For the last week, Matt Williams has faced a nightly lineup decision, the crux of which has boiled down to the question of who would start at third base. For the next two nights, Williams will face another lineup decision. This time, though, the Nationals manager has another position to consider: designated hitter. With the…
Zimmermann named All-Star, Rendon in Final Vote
Jul 6, 2014, 8:00 PM EST
A Nationals club that boasts the NL's fourth-best record but fewer dominant performances by individuals so far this season received only one All-Star selection Sunday evening: right-hander Jordan Zimmermann. There's still a chance of more Washington representation at Minnesota's Target Field on July 15, with infielder Anthony Rendon one of five candidates in the NL's…

Barring something unforeseen, Harper is expected to be in the Nats' lineup to face the Colorado Rockies on Monday night. Harper…

Three held, one fighting back - tale of four sons
Saif, Saadi, Mohammed and Khamis are Gaddafi's most involved sons, but only three have been captured
While Nato and rebel forces continue to search for Colonel Gaddafi in Tripoli, attention has turned to the whereabouts of the Libyan leader's four most politically engaged sons.
Saif al-Islam Gaddafi. The Western face of the Libyan regime became completely discredited when the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for his arrest on charges of crimes against humanity along with his father and a Libyan intelligence chief.
The rebel government body, the National Transitional Council, yesterday announced that Saif (above) had been captured and that his captors were under order to "treat him well". The ICC last night said: "We have confidential information from different sources that we have within Libya confirming this."
They added that it was "very important" that the 38-year-old former LSE student, who was regarded by most observers as Gaddafi's heir, would be handed over to the ICC "in accordance with the Security Council resolution".
Saadi Gaddafi. Captured along with Saif yesterday evening, the 38-year-old former professional footballer only recently returned to Libya to serve as the special forces commander for his father.
He has been accused of personally ordering the shooting of unarmed demonstrators in the eastern city of Benghazi, and is wanted by international criminal policing organisation Interpol.
Muhammad Gaddafi. The Colonel's eldest son was dramatically captured by rebels while he was giving a down-the-line interview to Al Jazeera on Sunday. As viewers heard the sound of gunfire, Muhammad, 41, said: "I'm being attacked right now. This is gunfire inside my house. They're inside my house."
Muhammad had been telling Al Jazeera: "I was not part of the security or official systems of the government to know what was going on. I think that the lack of reason and wide vision led Libya to where it is now. Our problems were simple. They could have been solved."
He and his family have since been confirmed as being alive and well in rebel captivity.
Khamis Gaddafi. The youngest of Gaddafi's sons is a fearsome 28-year-old who runs a section of the Libyan army known as the Khamis Brigade. It was once referred to in leaked US documents as "the most well-trained and well-equipped force in the Libyan military".
The Khamis Brigade was variously reported yesterday to have been overrun by the rebels entering Tripoli and/or to have decided not to put a fight.
However, Khamis and his men were reported this morning to be heading in a column of tanks across central Tripoli to Colonel Gaddafi's Bab al-Azizia compound, where the Libyan leader may or may not be holding out. ·

November 23, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- It might not sound like it makes any sense, but all the rain southern Wisconsin has seen is actually keeping mosquitoes at bay.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports the repeated soakings keep washing away stagnant water the blood-sucking pests need to breed. University of Wisconsin-Madison entomologist Phil Pellitteri says water needs to stand for 10 to 12 days for mosquitoes to breed.
He says last summer's drought is probably affecting this year's mosquito crop as well.
Pellitteri says northern Wisconsin is dealing with a large outbreak of mosquitoes, which is typical for this time of year.

Philippine cybercrime law under fire, 6th petition filed
Summary: Another temporary restraining order against the country's Cybercrime Prevention Act has been filed, as Filipinos protest against its vague definition of online libel and violation of personal rights.
A group of petitioners in Philippines, consisting of lawmakers, bloggers and students, have sought a temporary restraining order (TRO) on the country's implementation of its Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012--making it the sixth filed against the controversial legislation.
According to GMA News Online on Monday, the petition centered on the definition of online libel stated in the law, specifically sections 4, 5 and 6, which the petitioners say are "unconstitutional due to vagueness". The law also curtails "constitutional rights to due process, speech, expression, free press and academic freedom", it stated.
The Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 , signed by President Benigno Aquino III on Sep. 12, aims to fight online pornography, hacking, identity theft and spamming following local law enforcement agencies' complaints over the lack of legal tools to combat cybercrime.
However, the law came with tougher legal penalties for Internet defamation, compared to traditional media.
It also allows authorities to collect data from personal user accounts on social media and listen in on voice and video applications such as Skype, without a warrant. Users who post defamatory comments on Facebook or Twitter, for example, could be sentenced to up 12 years in jail.
Hacktivists take aim
The other five petitions filed with the Philippine Supreme Court, too, noted the law infringes on freedom of expression, due process, equal protection and privacy of communication, a separate report by GMA News Online on Saturday stated.
Senator Teofisto Guingona, the sole opponent when the bill was voted on by the Senate and who filed one of the petitions, told the Supreme Court: "Without a clear definition of the crime of libel and the persons liable, virtually any person can now be charged with a crime--even if you just retweet or comment on an online update or blog post."
Hacktivist group Anonymous Philippines also protested against the cybercrime law last week by striking down several government Web sites in the country, according to The Philippines Star. The hackers replaced the sites with an animated logo and statement against the Cybercrime Act, calling it "the most notorious act ever witnessed in the cyber history of the Philippines".
However, presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda defended the cybercrime law last week. "The Cybercrime Act sought to attach responsibilities in cyberspace...freedom of expression is always recognized but freedom of expression is not absolute," he said.
Lacierda did say the law could be redefined, and called for critics to submit their concerns to a government panel, which will issue specific definitions of the law, such as who may be prosecuted, by the year's end.
