Horror Panels Announced for the March ComiCON!
Next weekend, March 10/11, the Toronto March ComicCon show happens at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Though smaller (and also less expensive!) than the Fan Expo in August, which features the Festival of Fear, there's still horror fun to be had.
Here's a rundown of the stuff I programmed:
Hobos, Shotguns and Grindhouse Insanity: a conversation with Jason Eisener
Saturday, 12p.m, 801B, hosted by the Gore-met.

The winner of Rue Morgue's contest to win a trip to Texas Frightmare Weekend is Melissa Pettersson of Florida! We caught the magic moment on tape so we could share it with you! Listen here!
Melissa won airfare for two, hotel and two TFW VIP Passes to the southwest's premier horror convention…Texas Frightmare Weekend!
Sinister Seven
He was best known for playing the handsome brigand in The Princess Bride, but Saw turned an entirely new audience on to actor Cary Elwes. As the smarmy Dr. Lawrence Gordon, Elwes made an impression on Saw fans who campaigned to have him brought back to the series. Elwes finally acquiesced, reprising Gordon in Saw: The Final Chapter, out on DVD and Blu-ray January 25.

Kershaw County Council looked to give residents a respite from potentially noisy neighbors Tuesday after approving third reading of an excessive noise limitation ordinance. The proposal was supported on a 5-2 vote with Councilman C.R. Miles and Council Vice Chairman Sammie Tucker Jr. voting against third reading.
While Kershaw County's jobless rate continues to remain near South Carolina's average, both the county and the state have experienced two consecutive months of unemployment increases.
Kershaw County Council is set to take up a resolution Tuesday providing cost of living adjustments for county employees. County Administrator Vic Carpenter said the resolution will essentially formalize all paperwork regarding a 2 percent pay increase.
An excessive noise limitation ordinance approved on second reading by Kershaw County Council Tuesday set the specific penalty costs for each level of misdemeanor offense.
Kershaw County Council effectively killed a county-wide penny sales tax proposal Tuesday set to be considered by voters this November. Members unanimously voted, 6-0, to table second reading of the plan, which according to County Attorney Ken Dubose pushed the timetable for approval by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) beyond a recommended deadline.
Second reading of a potential noise limitation ordinance is set to be taken up by Kershaw County Council during its meeting Tuesday.
Kershaw County-based Dog4U Inc. Animal Rescue & Sanctuary is pleased to announce the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals' (ASPCA) sponsorship through a grant award of $1,000 in support of its equine program. The grant award will help alleviate a third of Dog4U's hay costs for the 10 horses under its care for 2012.
Kershaw County's Guardian ad Litem (GAL) program is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
Kershaw County Council's introduction of a noise limitation ordinance will rehash a proposal put forward by council about two years ago, according to Kershaw County Attorney Ken DuBose. DuBose said a plan to establish such an ordinance was previously in the works, but only received two readings before ultimately failing to be approved.
Kershaw County Council Chairman Gene Wise made his stance very clear Tuesday regarding the introduction of a new 1 percent county-wide sales tax.
In 2010, Kershaw County Council tasked six county residents with providing a capital project improvement plan for the county.
The Kershaw County Aquatic Center, located on Battleship Road in Camden, will be shut down until Friday according to Kershaw County Recreation Department Director James Davis.
A Kershaw County project to build Bethune a replacement to a recreation building destroyed by fire several years ago has ended up in court.
Darron Kirkley's top goal as Kershaw County's new tourism director will be attracting people to the community.
After holding several lengthy meetings in May and June, the Kershaw County Capital Project Sales Tax Commission will present its list of potential fundable projects to Kershaw County Council on Tuesday.
Kershaw County is in good financial condition, according to the annual audit of the county books by the accounting firm Sheheen, Hancock & Godwin. The firm's Mark Wood presented the audit summary at Kershaw County Council's meeting Tuesday. Wood said the audit was completed earlier than usual this year at the county's request so it would be concluded before newly-elected Council Chairman Julian Burns and Councilman Dennis Arledge take office in January.
Kershaw County Council will consider a relatively short agenda when they meet Tuesday. The accounting firm of Sheheen, Hancock and Godwin is scheduled to present the county's annual audit report to council.

This one time a fisherman told me he was a doctor
... He tells me to sit and he'll take my picture, so I comply. "I've got a special fruit for you" he says as he pulls out a pomegranate. And now I'm thinking that this is some sort of Snow White scenario, in which he's poisoned the pomegranate and is now going to feed it to me. He cuts it into segments and gives me half, "you eat, you eat," so again, I comply. As we are eating I teach him the word pomegranate and realize ...
On Tuesday we flew to Heraklion - the main city in Crete. We then got a bus to our hotel in Sisi. The Hotel was called Sentido Vasi Hotel. It had 7 swimming pools including one with a volleyball net. When we got there it really hot even though it was night time. The next morning we walked to the volleyball pool and played all morning. I had great fun in the ...
Crete - first few days
On Tuesday 23rd we flew to Heraklion - the capital and main airport in Crete. The airport was crazy - warm, crowded, and there was confusion about which carousel our bags were coming on. Eventually we got our bags and identified the coach (there was loads lined up) which would get us to our hotel. I found it by the way. The next day we focused on swimming. The temperature was in the 30's and we spent a ...

Jumbo is a very big toy store in Greece. When we were in Chania, we went to Jumbo and Mum and Dad purchased me a new backpack which is really cool.

Something About the Ocean...
... about the depths of who God is that I will never know but are nevertheless part of who he is.
I feel like the ocean calls us to realize how massive God is and that if we could try and explore every part of it, we would never find all there is. It is so enormous that all we can do is fathom at its sheer immensity compared with our own minuscule bodies. I think we would feel the same way if we could approach the sun and perceive its true size. If the ...

- Too overpriced for such low-medium quality cookingChefAmanzioDined on 11/23/2014The place is advertised as high standars food 'and cooking' but it's not worth it the price. For this high pric you can get a first class steak, sprouts cooked clean and separated and not in the same grease of steak (if you pay attention, most of the food will taste good but everything is cook in the same oil, grill or pan, even the color of the side food were exactly as same as the meats. Don't take me wrong, food was full of flavor but cooking quality it seems to be very low, not very clean or trying to save money the cook in the same surface as much as they can instead of cleaning, changing pans or respecting the flavor of each distinctive meat, veggies, etc. It's a good place to go, but for the quality and service it should be categorized lower and charge fairly, less and according to the whole quality. Place is very cozy and beautiful indeed. So just be careful before paying that kind of money -you deserve better for what you're paying.-
- Girl's Night Out. Bar seating was perfect for twoSunloverDined on 11/22/2014Great spot for a girlfriend's night out. We sat at a high-top in the bar. Excellent service and guests were friendly. We had petite filets, cream corn brûlée and split the wedge salad and a great bottle of wine. Can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not missing the Cork and CleaverSully232Dined on 11/21/2014The Cork and Cleaver restaurant was always a favorite of mine and I was disappointed when it was closed for good. It was replaced by a new venue called "Steak 44". Not a title that brings anything specific to mind. That was until I went there for Dinner. Now all steak houses will be compared to it. We were quickly out of the car and into the restaurant thanks to valet parking. We had reservations and were immediately seated and greeted. We were even offered a choice of white or black napkins, a first for me but appreciated. We were served water at once and greeted by our server offering drinks or a menu. The menu was to the point, not multiple pages of the same ingredients in different forms like so many restaraunts these days. Steak (offered in various portions) chops, a fine selection of seafood and a bottle of wine for any taste or pairing. The meat was of above average quality and properly prepared. The big find was the inventive side dishes. We had the house potatoes prepared with cream and cheeses. To compare it to scalloped potatoes would be comparing the Mona Lisa to finger painting. We also had a corn dish prepared so that it tasted like creme brûlée. We could easily have dined on the sides alone so any meat lovers with vegetarian mates, you can both feast at this establishment. The service was impeccable. Anyone can look good when all is well but the proof of superior service is how a problem is solved. Management at Steak 44 is as competent and accommodating as the above average service staff. Nobody hovered but we never waited for anything. I have found my new favorite steak house and plan to return very soon and very often. The lounge was large and inviting. I plan to have lunch at the bar (a habit for me) on my next visit. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's not a budget eatery but very fairly priced for the above average cuisine and service. They provide a dining experience not just a meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AndyAndyDined on 11/21/2014Great Arcadia high end steak restaurant. The food is always good, the sides are fantastic, and I find the staff to be very friendly. Can be a little noisy and busy, but for good reason. I was hoping for a bigger bar selection (I like honey jack or maple crown), but a minor issue. Highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice restaurant/Good locationAngelaDined on 11/21/2014My husband and I recently visited Steak 44. We had been going to Cork & Cleaver for years before it burned down. Although the food was delicious, the service was terrific and the ambiance was very nice, I would have to say that the prices were somewhat high. To pay $44.00 for a serving of Chilean Sea Bass is a bit much. And they do not serve prime rib which is one of my favorites. I know that some other reviews stated it was very loud and that is true if you are seated near the bar. We were seated in the back of the restuarant which was very nice and provided a romantic atmosphere. We may go back but it would have to be for a very special occasion. If money is no object, then this is your restaurant.Special Features:
- Absolutely fabulousOICUR12VIPDined on 11/20/2014As usual wonderful food the steak the crispy shrimp the fresh bread and the staff make you feel like a king and queenSpecial Features:
- Anniversary DinnerPiper4831Dined on 11/18/2014This was our second time here. The first was for a birthday and this time for our 19th anniversary. Steak 44 is a beautiful restaurant with outstanding service. From the moment you walk in until the minute you leave you are pampered. The shrimp cocktail is the best we have ever had. The enormous, though pricey 7$/Shrimp, jumbo shrimp were enough for dinner. We complemented our DOZEN with a fantastic fresh Caesar salad topped with a medium cool poached egg. We had a butter cake topped with strawberries and vanilla ice cream for dessert, just like the shrimp, perfection. So why not a 5 star overall rating? TOO LOUD. There isn't a single spot in the place without overhead loud overhead music. This coupled with an enormous number of quests in the dining rooms and its hard to feel relaxed. The bar area, which also has tables, I understand, but we were off on the other side and it was difficult to hear without speaking aloud to each other. If you are wanting a quiet fantastic neighborhood eat this is not it. However, if you are wanting a more vibrant, fantastic neighborhood eat, there is none better!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful ExperienceJasonDined on 11/17/2014Took my wife here for her birthday. I decided to try something new and we were more than pleased and couldn't believe we haven't been here before! We love great steak houses and fine dining, and this is by far one of the best places we have ever been too! We'll be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Two out of three ain't badOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 11/16/2014We recently went back to Steak 44 for dinner. Our first two visits were good with well cooked steaks. Our third visit was different. Three of the five steals we ordered were totally mid-cooked. My wife ordered a petite filet butterflied and well done. Not only was her steak not butterflied (the server thought it was) but it was cooked medium rare. The outside of the steak was burnt such that it stuck to the plate. They took it back and further "burned it" ruining the steak. My daughter ordered her steak the same way and got hers medium with some less cooked and ate half her steak. Sides were great as usual though the Brussels sprouts needed some seasoning. While I would go back, I think this is a better place for a couples dinner or small group.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Evening at Steak 44FoodieVIPDined on 11/14/2014We had a great evening!! Everything was much better than we expected. Looking forward to returning soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a great place!BetsyLDined on 11/14/2014We have been to Steak 44 a couple of times now and both have been fantastic - the food is exceptional and the service superb. If you are looking for some quiet conversation during dinner, be sure to ask to be seated in one of the rooms away from the main dining room.. Love this place and we look forward to our next visit . . .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- willdebDined on 11/12/2014Terrible service, 45 minutes between appetizer and enter, noise so high we could not carry on a conversation, food not really outstanding for the price!Special Features:
- Budding Young SteakhouseFoodieChapVIPDined on 11/10/2014This is a promising place that I would give a second chance to based on the server and management staff. First, it's dark and very hard to read the menu. But that was about the only complaint. Oyster appetizers were excellent. Steaks came out more cooked than requested so we sent them back. Second time was correct and the manager comped dessert because it wasn't done properly the first time. Later in the meal, the server accidentally knocked my glass of water over and I was a bit soaked. I took it in stride as it was only water, but somehow the server and management team ended up comping 2 of our steaks (the ones originally overdone). That was no small change. That left a good impression on the level of service they were willing to show and I would definitely give them another chance when in Scottsdale again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasant Dining Experiencehl2007Dined on 11/8/2014We celebrated my husband's birthday. Steak 44 recommended by a friend. Very friendly atmosphere, great service and our dinner was excellent! We would highly recommend Steak 44 and look forward to going back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Always entertaining and fun!NYE2014Dined on 11/7/2014The little spoiled baby brother of the Maestros collection of restaurants. I like this one the best as it caters to a more lively crowd without all the burgundy leather and stiletto peer pressures of the other establishments. I just was a steak and a well balanced cocktail or maybe some oysters without all the power people of this town nearby trying to buy my date a bottle of champagne! This place caters to a more modest but successful crowd with the same menu standbys as well as new variety on the menu. No jacket required.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just not as good as City HallOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 11/7/2014Good food, OK service and atmosphere. Let me say that Steak 44 has really good steaks. I had a great steak, although they over cooked it a little, but still very solid. We sat near the kitchen, were sat next to 80 year old men with 30 year old dates, and it was just an odd experience all around. Weird waiter that didn't really know the menu, it was just difficult to hear about their martinis. Anyway, if I want a good steak and awesome experience, go to City Hall. If you want to change it up, try Steak 44

- Have been twice....no more.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/1/2014This was our second visit to Steak 44, the first was not a great one and we wanted to give the restaurant another opportunity. Who knows, maybe we had an off night the first time. No. The second visit was worse than the first. Waiters that started with us did not remain with us, drink orders were wrong for all three guests, noticed and commented on by new waiter but not corrected. Waiter was kinda jerky about the water selection, crazy but true. The timing of the food was poor. My Wedge salad, I asked for Ranch dressing and no blue cheese, it was covered in blue cheese and blue cheese crumbles. The Corn Brulee did not disappoint. The potatoes were marginal and the steaks, we've had better...much better. We won't be visiting again.
- Great for an occasionOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/31/2014Very romantic atmosphere, would recommend to anyone celebrating!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Steak House worthy of it's nameTravelingmanVIPDined on 10/31/2014The server was outstanding. Drinks were generous. The salad was weak, without much character, nor taste. I had their Meatloaf, even better than Mom made. My Wife ordered and enjoyed her Bone in NY streak, even though it was a bit over done. To the servers credit , he recognized that it was not cook to order, and offered to redo it. My wife was hungry and opted to finish it, When the bill arrived , the establishment took the charge for steak off the bill. I said that was hardly necessary. but they insisted.We were celebrating two Birthdays with our friends , and to our delight, the server arrive with deserts, which were outstanding. We will return.Special Features:

- Not just a steak place!AmuseeDined on 10/26/2014The food was exceptional. Lots of choices in addition to steak. Great veal chop, tasty meatloaf, and a hearty short rib. The sides are smaller than your usual steak place, but they were a lot more varied. We had a wonderful meal and will return soon.Special Features:

- Celebrating our weddingStephenDined on 10/26/2014We were a table of 6 celebrating dinner after our wedding reception the night before. The food, recommendations, wine, etc. was great. The only interesting thing...was when we were about to leave and they provided our take home boxes, the table server (white coat gentleman) seemed very bothered when we asked him if things were mixed up for he placed bags on the left of each person...and one person did not. Since we were friends but not into eating food of others, we asked if we missed a bag? He was not happy explaining to us that he placed one bag to the right of the person. Rolling his eyes as he walked away...I am sure he did not expect we would see that... Our waiter was great...and the dessert was very nice. Thank you!Special Features:
- Great New Find!AZmomVIPDined on 10/25/2014A fun and not snobby steak house. Great for a special occasion or for appetizers and drinks. Wine menu was outstanding and I had a hard time choosing side dishes with my halibut because they all sounded so good. Service was outstanding, he knew his wine, menu and was very personable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- BeanMDined on 10/24/2014Was a fun place, not too stuffy, or casual. But it was so loud we had to shout across the table at each other! Also, seafood was just ok. Husband had the steak which was supposedly amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A birthday celebrationJJ5853Dined on 10/23/2014What makes a truly special experience is the way the staff makes you feel and steak 44 did not disappoint. From the warm greeting as you walked in, to the friendly waitstaff, to the email thanking me for coming. That is what will bring me back to this restaurant. Top notch!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Outstanding Service and FoodPHLGAL05Dined on 10/15/2014Our bussers were top notch and waitress was friendly. Food was outstanding, a bit pricy when nothing is included with steak. Sides were good portions however paying additional for a salad was little more than expected. Our party of four did agree that the steaks were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Not a kid-friendly place (no kids menu) so don't recommend taking young kids.Special Features:
- Awesome dining experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 10/15/2014From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave the level of service is exceptional! We experienced over the top service while at the restaurant and a follow up call the next day to inquire as to how our dining experience was. The food was amazing. I had a filet while my husband enjoyed the sea bass, both were cooked to perfection. Our other dining companions had a choice of fish and steak as well and everyone was extremely pleased with their choices. The seasonings and butter/oils used were on par - not too much as in many restaurants. We also tried the steamed spinach, mac and cheese and house potatoes ~ all wonderful. Cocktails made the old fashion way and an excellent wine list. Thank you Steak 44 - you nailed it! Well DoneSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very impressive!BaileybearDined on 10/14/2014A very enjoyable experience! Very good service and the food was excellent. We went for a business dinner. I had the scallops which were cooked perfectly and a generous portion. I had a bite of my colleage's steak which was also very good. Caesar salad was tasty as well as the strawberry butter cake for dessert. Altogether a very nice evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

ATTORNEY March 30, 1965 u. s. BERGER ELIMINATION OF FREQUENCY SHIFT IN SUPPRESSED CARRIER SYSTEMS 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed NOV. 28, 1961 Bf Km- A TTORNEY United States Patent O Fried Nov. 2s, 1961, ser. No. 155,381 s ciaims. (ci. S25- 49) This invention relates generally to the vtransmission of signals by amplitude modulation techniques and more particularly to suppressed-carrier amplitude modulation signal transmission over media which tend to introduce uncontrolled frequency shifts.
When either or both of the sidebands of an amplitude modulated wave are transmitted over a medium which introduces a frequency shift, the received signal is likely to be distorted if a carrier wave equal to the original carrier wave in frequency is used to accomplish demodulation. Under such conditions, the sidebands may undergo frequency changes not shared by the carrier and the demodulated signal is likelyto incur not onlyfrequency error but also quality degradation due to misalignment with receiving band filters. In the past, suchdistortions have been avoided-by transmitting the carrier at full or reduced amplitude along with the sidebands, by manual adjustment of the demodulating` carrier to cancel the frequency shift, or by taking special measures to keep the amount of frequency shift introduced by the transmission system within narrow limits.
There are, however, a number of reasons why none of these expedients may be desirable. Transmission of carrier atfull amplitude may, for example, overload repeaters in the transmission system or cause crosstalk between adjacent lines, while transmission of carrier. at
reduced amplitude may` lead to filtering difficulties `in separating the carrier at the receiving end of the system for amplification prior to demodulation. Manual adjustment of the demodulating carrier frequency, on the other hand, requires a separate adjustment for every change in operating conditions. Controlling the` frequency shift introduced by the transmission system within narrow limits, finally, tends to require relatively. compleX and expensive apparatus and is subject to failure in the event of failure of any portion of the Vcontrolling mechanism. i Y
A principal object of the invention is, therefore, to eliminate frequency errors in the transmission of suppressed-carrieramplitude modulated waves without requiring either manual adjustments or measuresto limit the amount of frequency shift in the transmitting medium.,
A closely related object is to eliminate frequency error in the transmission of Vsuppressed-carrier amplitude modulated waves in as simple and reliable a manner as possible.
A typical amplitude modulation transmission `system which'tends occasionally to introduce a small amount of 3,176,226 Patented Mar. 30, 1965 ice known in the art as frequency frogging and tends to equalize noise and crosstalk in the individual signal channels. Any instability or inaccuracy in the locally generated group carrier frequencies, however, will result in a frequency lshift that is cumulative throughout the system. If it reaches an order of magnitude ofV 100 cycles per second, it can result in degradation of channel frequency characteristics because of misalignment of the received frequency spectrum with respect to the receiving channel band filters. In addition, while the frequency shift may be otherwise tolerable for normal transmission of carrier-transmitted channel signals, it may not be acceptable for program and certain types of data signals which are not accompanied by their own carrier and hence require more faithful reproduction of frequency.
In accordance with the invention, the final group demodulating carrier in such a system as the type N carrier system is derived, not from a local oscilla-tor, but rather by frequency multiplication and intermodulation techniques from a pair of pilot frequencies which are within the pass band of the system. When the system is used to transmit groups of double-sideband carrier-transmitted channel signals, these pilot frequencies may be and preferably are two of the individual channel carriers. At the final group demodulator, which is otherwise like the preceding group modulators except that it is the last one in the system, the demodulating carrier derived from these pilot frequencies in accordance with the invention has exactly the frequency required to eliminate all of the frequency error accumulated at previousrepeater points.
In completely eliminating accumulated frequency error on the final group dernodulator, the invention thus eliminates any need either for transmitting the group carrierV frequencies or for employing elaborate control ing group carrier frequency at all times and does notrequire manual adjustments. It provides,in short, the advantages of actual transmission of the carrier frequency without incurring the usual penalties.
In a number of important embodiment of the invention, the pilot frequencies which are used to derive the frequency deviation is the standard short-haul'A Bell System carrier telephone transmission system knownas type N carrier. This system, shown in outline form, for example, in United StatesPatent 2,695,332, which issued November 23, 1954,` to ,R. S. Caruthers, uses suppressedcarrier single-sideband techniques to transmit whole groups of double-sidebandV carrier-transmitted` channel signals. Repeaters are spaced periodically throughout the, system and, at each Vrepeater point, a Vlocal group carrier frequency is generatedfto modulate (or demodulate, depending upon the pointofview) the `group either from a low frequency Aband to a higher` frequency bandV or vice versa. Such alternation and inversion of channel groups between low` and highfrequency bands is final demodulating group carrier are harmonically related to one another when in either the high group or the low group, `in the sense that they are harmonics of a common fundamentalfrequency, and the received pilot frequencies are multiplied in frequency by the factors m and n in deriving the demodulating carrier, where m and n are integers greater than zero and satisfy the relation m=n+l The greatest simplicity in deriving the final group demodulating carrier is thereby assured.
A more complete understanding of the invention, along with other objects and features, may be obtained from a study of the following detailed description of several specific embodiments. In the drawings:
FIG. l is a block diagram of a typical N carrier system embodying` the invention arranged to transmit a group of twelve carrier-transmitted double-sideband channel signals;
FIGS. 2, 3, and 4 are blockY diagrams of alternative final lrepeatersforthe embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. l; and
FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a typical N carrier sys-l and V17 is eliminated.
tem embodying the invention arranged to transmit a single broadband signal channel.
FIG. l illustrates one direction of transmissionof a typical type N carrier'system Vmodified to operate in accordance with theV principles Yof the invention. The type N system operates'on a four-wire basisrequiring a simif lar arrangement for transmission in the reverse direction.
The circuitry required to provide the second path is not illustrated, however, since itY would merely be a substantial duplication of that shown.` In addition,'some filters, amplifiers, and other component circuits are not carrier system whenever one or more of the group carrier 4oscillators' at repeater points drifts from its assigned vnominal frequency of 304 kilocycles. As one of these carrieiz oscillators drifts, the sideband frequencies transmitted-from theassociated group modulator drifts in the same direction. `Successive carrier deviationsY along the repeatered line cause successive 'frequency errors in the transmitted-sidebands which, if they combine additively,
. can introduce a substantial frequency error in the group' separately illustrated where separateillustration is not necessary for an understanding of the invention. It isl to be understood, however, that in reality they `are includedV within appropriate ones of the blocks Y termed modulator, input circuit, and output circuit. Y
For normal telephone message transmission, the type Nis, as shown, a twelve channel system. VThe first channel includes, for example, Van appropriate input circuit'11 Vwhich supplies voice-frequency signalrwaves occupyingja band of approximately 300 to 3100 cycles to akchannel frequencies suppliedto thereceiving channel filters from the final repeater. This-frequency error tends to cause degradation in channel frequencyy characteristics Vbecause of misalignment ofthe incomingv frequency spectrum with modulator 12., Modulator 12 is vsupplied with its carrier i frequency'by a Vcarrier source 13. The other channels are similar, except for the channel carrier frequency em ployed, and will not be. separately described. n
Through the use of different carrier frequencies, the twelve channels are combined for transmission on a frequency-division multiplex basis, In the typervN system,Y
Vthe carriers are spaced at S-kilocycle intervals. These may be spaced, as illustrated,from 168 to 256 kilocycles,`
to forma so-called high group or from 48 to 136 'kilocycles to-form a so-called low group.V In each channel, the carrier and bothjupper and lower sidebandsare trans- .Y

VTherepeatersy are'spaced at regular intervalsin the system, the particular spacing employed Vdepending principally upon cableV gauge.

Although the selected low band channel carrier frequencies in the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. l are 5,6 and 112 kilocycles, other combinations may be used as well. Examples are 40 and 80 kilocycles, 48 and 96 kilocycles, 64 and 128 kilocycles, and 52 and 104 kilocycles.
The particular arrangement illustrated in FIG. 1, in which the 192 kilocycle high band channel carrier is applied directly to modulator 24 is, of course, a special case. The 192 kilocycle wave is,vin a sense, multiplied in frequency by the factor l. A somewhat more general case is illustrated in FIG. 2, which shows a final type N carrier repeater embodying the invention in which a 208 kilocycle channel carrier in the high group is multiplied in frequency by 3 and an 80 kilocycle channel carrier in the low group is multiplied infrequency by 4. As illustrated, a 208 kilocycle bandpass filter 31 is bridged across the input side of final group modulator 1S and connected to modulator 24 through a frequency multiplying circuit 32 arranged to multiply the selected wave in frequency by the factor 3. VOn'the output side of group modulator 18, an 8O kilocycle band filter 33 is connected from the line to modulator 24 by a frequency multiplying circuit 34 arranged to multiply by the factor 4. The 304 kilocycle filter 26 connected to the output of modulator 24 selects the` difference-product to provide the correct demodulating frequency for canceling accumulated frequency error. V
It is, furthermore, not essential to the invention that the two channel carriers be selected from opposite sides of final group modulator 1S. FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate embodiments of the invention Where both channel carriers are selected from the input side of group modulator 18. For purposes of illustration, the repeater in FIG. 3 is of the low-high typevwhile in FIG. 4 it is of the high-low type.
In the low-high repeater shown in FIG. 3, the selected channel carriers are in the 10W group and have normal frequencies of 64 and 104 kilocycles. A 64 kilocycle band filter 37 and a frequency multiplying circuit 38 for multiplying an incoming frequency by a factor of are connected in tandem between the line and modulator 24 Similarly connected are a 104 kilocycle band lter 39 and a frequency multiplying circuit 40 for multiplying the incoming frequency of a factor of 6. The output 304 kilocycle filter 26 selects the'difference frequency to provide a demodulating carrier which contains the frequency deviation of the two channel carriers and is exactly correct in frequency to cancel all accumulated Vfrequency error in the transmitted group signals. Y
The high-low repeater illustrated in FIG. 4 can be used as a basis for a large number of different channel carrier frequencies and frequency multiplying factor examples. Two channel carriers from the high group are used and the multiplying factors can be taken as mand n, which are any integers greater than Zero satisfying the relation hir-n+1 A first band filter 43 and frequency multiplier 44 combination is connected from the input side of group modulator 18 to one input of modulator 24. Frequency multiplier 44 is shown only in dashed outline form for the reason that the multiplying factor is unity in that path for the particular combination of channel carrier frequencies illustrated in FIG. 4. A second band filter 45 and freq quency multiplier 46 combination is connected from the same side of group modulator 18 to the other input of modulator 24. Y
If the high band channel carrier frequency selected by filter 45 is designated A, the frequency multiplying factor of frequency multiplier 46 is m, the high band channel carrier frequency selected by filter 43 is designated B,
and the factor of frequency multiplier 44 is n, a .number of effective combinations are shown in the following table:
A m B n i mA i nB Kc. Kc. Kc. t Kc. 240 3 208` 2 720 416 232 4 208 3 928 624 240 2 175 l 480 176 248 2 192 l V496 192 256 2 208 1 512 208 252` 2 200 1 504 200 The last four examples are particularly attractive because they require only a single frequency doubler in addition, to the filters and modulator 24 to generate the demodulating carrier.
While the basic embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 1 makes use of the channel carriers already transmitted in the standard type N carrier telephone system, the principles underlying the invention are of sufficient breadth that their applicability is much greater. It is occassionally desirable, for example, to transmit a different type of signal over a repeatered type N carrier transmission line. FIG. 5 illustrates an embodiment 0f the invention in which the transmitted signal does not include channel carriers and in which a pair of pilot frequencies are used to generate the demodulating carrierwave instead. The transmitted signal may be, for example, a broadband data signal or a group of suppressed-carrier single sideband channels. As in FIG. l, only one direction of transmission is shown.
In FIG. 5, a signal input circuit 51 supplies a broadband signal occupying a band extending from 60 to 108 kilocycles to a repeatered N carrier line. The rst repeater contains a low-high group modulator 52 supplied with carrier yfrom a local nominal 304 kilocycle source 53. The second repeater contains a high-low group modulator 54 and a carrier source 55, while the third contains a low-high group modulator 56V supplied from a carrier source 57. A larger or smaller number of repeaters may be employed, of course, depending upon the length of the line and the gauge of the cable, but these are shown by Way of example. The final repeater contains a highlow group modulator 18 supplied with a demodulated carrier wave in accordance with the invention and furnishes the original 60 to 108 kilocycle signal to a signal output 58.
In accordance with the invention, a pair of pilot frequencies outside of the signal band but still within the pass band of the transmission system are introduced along with the signal band. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 5, the two pilot frequencies are 56 and 112 kilocycles. As illustrated, a 56 kilocycle source 59 is coupled to the line through a 56 kilocycle bandpass filter 60 and a 112 kilocycle source 61 is coupled to the line through a 112 kilocycle bandpass filter 62. These pilot frequencies are frogged up and down in frequency along with the main signal at each repeater point and accumulate the same frequency shift as the signal. At the final repeater, the demodulating carrier is supplied to group modulator 18 by a circuit combination substantially identical to the one shown in FIG. 1. The 56 kilocycle pilot frequency from the low group side of group modulator 18 is doubled infrequency and supplied to modulator 24 along with the 192 klocycle pilot from the high group side. The output filter 26 selects the sum product from modulator 24 and supplies it, through amplifier 27, to group modulator 18 as the demodulating carrier. As has already been explained, this carrier is precisely the frequency required to cancel all of the accumulated frequency error.
It is to be understood that the above-described arrangements are illustrative of the application of the principles of the invention. Numerous other arrangements may bedevised by thoseskilled in thevartrwithout departingfrorn'the spirit and scope' of theinvention. u

Agari, the leading provider of real-time, data-driven security solutions that detect and prevent advanced cyberthreats, today released its 2014 first quarter edition of the Agari Email TrustIndex.
The 2014 Q1 TrustIndex covers the period from January through March 2014 and identifies the sectors and companies that have the highest and lowest risk for dangerous emails, and the sectors and companies that are taking action to stop cybercriminals from reaching consumers.
"In Q1, criminals amplified their use of email to spread data-theft malware with a specific focus on massive blitzkrieg attacks. Q1 illustrated yet again that organizations who secure their email channel not only have more consumer trust, but also fewer fraud losses, less operational overhead and stay out of headline news stories about security breaches," said Patrick Peterson, Founder and CEO of Agari. "Despite a widening array of incidents where brands who are suffering criminal abuse trick consumers into taking action that leads to malware infection, major industry sectors fail to prevent cyberattacks with the DMARC standard. The massive volume spikes in blitzkrieg-style email attacks necessitate a proactive, preventive solution."
Phishing is undergoing a rapid and dramatic evolution
In Q1 2014, Agari saw a dramatic evolution in phishing, with CryptoLocker "ransomware" and GameOver Zeus data-theft malware driving large attacks. CryptoLocker encrypts the user's hard drive until a $400 Bitcoin ransom payment is made, and GameOver Zeus is the latest data-theft malware. These attacks abuse a growing number of domains, with attacks typically spiking from thousands of malicious emails per day to millions as the criminals attempt to let loose the malware barrage before the security industry can respond. Unfortunately, too many companies fail to join their peers in taking advantage of the DMARC standard.
Notable highlights from the Agari TrustIndex Report:
- Health Care continues to be the worst performer across all measures of the study and most susceptible to email attacks and cyber-fraud. Health care records are five times more vulnerable than credit card data, categorizing all but one health care company as Easy Targets.
Financial Services was broken down into Payments, Mega Banks,
Large Banks and Retail Banks (Europe) in Q1.
- Retail Banks: in Q1 the ThreatScore for the largest retail banks jumped 500%, primarily the result of two months of heavy spamming connected with two banks. This shows that criminals are constantly shifting their targets and the attack landscape is volatile.
- Social Media has been a consistent winner in security, with sites such as Facebook and Twitter achieving a perfect TrustScore of 100. These two companies were among the seven companies, out of 133 who achieved a perfect TrustScore.
Retailers v. Etailers
- Retailers are still one of the main targets of email attacks, yet the sector's ThreatScore decreased by nearly 53% from Q4 to Q1, indicating that fraudsters are aiming for higher profile attacks.
- Etailers remain leaders in email security, with companies such as Netflix, Amazon and Groupon maintaining perfect, or near-perfect, TrustScores. Retailers have a long way to go to catch up to the security practices of Etailers.
About the Agari TrustIndex
The Agari TrustIndex contains ratings developed by Agari that reflects how fully organizations have deployed three standards (SPF, DKIM, and DMARC) across their primary active domains. While all three standards are deployed "behind the scenes" and are not directly visible to consumers in most cases, by looking at TrustIndex scores you can get a simple, easy to understand rating of how well any given organization is protecting their customers from receiving malicious email under the guise of the organization's brand and domain name. It's important to note that the Agari TrustScore reflects that level of security deployed by the organization, and is not directly related to the ThreatScore, which is an indicator of how high a level of attack is directed at an organization. A company could have a very high TrustIndex score and still have a high ThreatScore as well, as even though they've deployed effective security the bad guys are still trying to break in.
The Q1 TrustIndex includes the following industry sectors:
Financial Services
*In this study, Mega Banks are retail banks with more than $5B in annual revenue; Large Banks have more than $2B in annual revenue.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

By 2012 Mercy Graduate Katrina
Can you believe it? Thanksgiving is less than three weeks away! Christmas, despite what retail stores would like us to believe, is not the next major holiday on the calendar. Stores are already decked out with the lights, Santas, elves, candy… (side note—if you're buying Christmas candy now, thinking you'll be able to save it until Christmas, you may be in serious denial). Instead of allowing society to take a moment (a whole day even!) to be thankful, we're ready to charge right into the materialistic aspects of Christmas. BUT, November and December are actually an incredible opportunity...
We get to choose what that opportunity will be.
We have the opportunity to be incredibly stressed, worrying about every minute detail for Thanksgiving get togethers, travel, Christmas parties, cards, gifts, and the like… or procrastinate until the last second and then run around like a turkey with our head cut off, getting things done last minute.
We have the opportunity to be short-tempered and uncharitable to those we come in contact with because we have allowed the "holiday busyness" to drown out any "holiday cheer" we once had.
We have the opportunity to complain about the things we don't have. To grumble about the well meaning person who said "happy holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." To be resentful of hearing the same Christmas song 17 times in one day.
We have the opportunity to be JOYFUL always—an unconditional joy amidst every stressful thing that comes up this season.
We have the opportunity to PRAY continually – To pray for loved ones. To pray for the people who get on our nerves, cut us off in traffic, are short tempered towards us. To praise God. To ask God to help us grow in virtue and grow closer to Him during this season.
We have the opportunity to give THANKS in all circumstances - How about an "attitude of gratitude this November/December? When others are irritable, why not be a light in that situation? Why not choose to be thankful for what we do have, instead of dwelling on what we don't? Why not praise the Lord for coming to this earth? Why not give thanks for our family and friends (even when they do get on our nerves)?
"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
What are some things you are actually extremely thankful for, but either continually take for granted or complain about (can be something or someone)? During this time of year, is it easier or harder for you to live out this verse? What are practical ways you will express gratitude this week to those you love?

Home » News » Business » 40 Under Forty
Tell Kate Baker a compelling story, and no isn't an option
Kate Baker , 38Home: Manchester
Birthplace: Manchester
Family: daughters - Chloe, Clara and Dory
High school: Manchester West College/post-grad degrees:
University of New Hampshire, Whittemore School of Business
Current job: Executive director, Network for Educational Opportunity, an education networking organization and the first scholarship organization to implement the recently passed N.H. Education Tax Credit Scholarships. Key past positions held: Business manager, singing and musical theater instructor at BYPC (The Bedford Youth Performing Company); co-founder of The Greater Manchester Alliance for the Gifted.
Volunteer activities: I enjoy helping friends and associates develop business plans that will implement innovative ideas for education in the form of future schools and alternative education opportunities in New Hampshire. As the volunteer president of The Greater Manchester Alliance for the Gifted, I provide support to parents and educators of gifted children. I am also a member of the board of trustees of Polaris Charter School in Manchester and on the planning committee for TEDxAmoskeagMillyard.
Favorite place in New Hampshire: Mount Washington Summit and the Mount Washington Hotel
There have been chances to lighten the load, but that would involve saying "no," something Baker has difficulty doing once she hears of a compelling cause or touching story.
"Just make the mountain higher," Baker said. "I'll climb it."
Baker has made education her mission. As executive director of the New Hampshire chapter of the Network for Educational Opportunity, her job is to raise money and distribute it under the state's new Education and Tax Credit Scholarships.
"A lot of families have limited resources and I feel they deserve the same education options that a family with a lot of resources has. I'm working to really kind of level that playing field," she said. "It's a mission rather than a job. Stories about families needing help are so compelling that I feel I need to help them. I do this work because of that."
Baker, 38, grew up in Manchester and put herself through the University of New Hampshire, earning a business degree
She started post-graduate life managing a friend's business, then started a dual role as business manager and teacher with the Bedford Youth Performing Company, a performing arts school where she taught music and theater.
As a music lover and jazz singer, Baker found she loved teaching and being able to do it outside the traditional forums. She also helped start the Polaris Charter School in Manchester and still is a member of the board. She also volunteers as president for the Greater Manchester Alliance for the Gifted.
She said her job is finding the right curriculum and atmosphere to match a particular student's needs. Sometimes that means stepping out of the public education system and looking at private or charter schools, which offer different programs and learning methods that work better for some children.
Baker's three daughters all attend public school, but she understands when other parents feel their child would prosper in a different environment.
"One size doesn't fit all," she said. "We do have some great options available in New Hampshire schooling statewide. We just need more."
More than 100 applications have come in since Baker started the New Hampshire office of the NEO in August. So far, she has raised about $105,000 from businesses that receive a tax credit for contributing to the scholarship fund.
"I'm excited about the response from families and from businesses who want to contribute to this. I'm feeling good about it," she said. "These stories are very compelling. It's easy to do the work when the need is so great. People make these incredible sacrifices to give their children the best possible life and education."
While funding education - public or private - has been a challenge in areas of her native state, Baker said she has found New Hampshire to be full of people and businesses ready to contribute to a worthy cause.
"I really appreciate the New Hampshire feeling, the ideals. It feels like a small town," she said. "People are connected and it makes it easier to do my work and reach people."
