1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to management of optical and packet network devices and, more particularly, to a method for maintaining both an optical and an packet management domain in a network architecture where optical management functions reside on packet network device.
2. Description of the Background Art
Traffic on packet networks, of which the Internet is the best-known example, continues to grow at astonishing rates so carriers have deployed high capacity optical networks that can handle the increased traffic volume. As such, optical networks are now widely utilized. Typically, the optical network is dedicated to long haul traffic and must interface at some point to packet, such as Internet Protocol (IP), networks, comprised of routers, switches and other infrastructure devices.
Most optical networking systems are now based on WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) or DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) technology both of which will be referred to herein as a WDM network unless specifically otherwise noted. In the past, a transponder has been used as the interface between the optical domain and the IP domain. As such, the transponder was the logical network device to be used for managing operations of the optical network. Indeed, the transponder has traditionally implemented many of the fault, configuration, accounting, performance and security (FCAPS) management functions that are necessary to manage the optical network.
With the transponder functioning as the demarcation point between the optical and packet networks, it was possible for a system administrator on the optical side to determine certain operational characteristics of the optical network. For example, at the transponder, bit error rate statistics are collected before traffic leaves the optical domain and enters the packet network domain. Because bit error rates cannot be detected in the optical domain, such statistics were collected when the transponder converted traffic from the optical domain to the packet network domain as well as in the reverse direction.
Since the optical network technology is considerably different from that employed in the packet network, it was logical to manage the optical domain separately from the packet network domain. Indeed, each domain has developed its own set of management tools and protocols and service providers (SPs) maintain separate administration staffs dedicated to managing each network.
While the separation of the optical domain from the packet network domain has resulted in efficient management of the two networks, cost reductions have led to the elimination of the transponder from the optical side of the network with the router now handling the traffic conversion from one domain to another. This architectural change is referred to herein as the packet-optical architecture or an packet-optical architecture network. Unfortunately, this architectural change in network topology has left management of the optical domain with an information void because many of the statistics previously gathered at the transponder are no longer available. Unfortunately, it is difficult to maintain the traditional separation of the management of the packet network layer from the optical layer since, with this architecture, it is necessary to manage certain optical aspects from the router interface by the optical layer management system.
Although it is possible to provide access to the router to manage each wavelength and to obtain the statistics necessary to manage the optical domain, it is difficult to cross management domains because of the existing mandate for two separate management systems. Furthermore, difficulties arise when the packet and optical networks are owned and controlled by different service providers where access to the necessary management information may be readily provided to the optical network administrators. Even within a single service provider, however, the administrators of the packet network domain may be reluctant to provide optical network administrators direct access to the router for security and other operational considerations. Without access to critical operational data, many service providers are reluctant to take advantage of the cost savings afforded by the new architectures that eliminate the transponder or that otherwise move the interface between domains such that it is inside the packet network domain.
Unfortunately, existing network management systems have not considered the issues that arise from integrated packet-optical networks insofar as respecting the operational boundaries between the optical and packet network management domains are concerned. What is needed is a system and method that allows carriers to adopt packet-optical networks without changing the organizational structure or the manner in which the organization operates.
The present invention relates to management of a packet network-optical network and, more particularly, to a method for maintaining both an optical and a packet network management domain in a network architecture where at least one optical management function resides on a packet network network device.
In the following description of embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and that changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Further, in the following description of embodiments of the present invention, numerous specific details are provided to provide a complete understanding of the embodiments of the invention. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the invention may be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, etc. In other instances, well-known structures or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of various embodiments of the invention. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used throughout in the drawings to refer to the same or like components.
Referring now to the drawings, particularly by their reference numbers,
The packet network 102 in
Router 106 interfaces with optical network 104 and is responsible for converting traffic between the IP and optical domains. By way of example, router 106 may be a carrier class router, such as the commercially available Cisco CRS-1 core router. Of course, other packet handling devices, such as Ethernet switches or Provider Bridge Transport (PBT) devices, may be in place of a router.
NOC 108 comprises a system of equipment used in monitoring, controlling, and managing the IP network 102 including the network infrastructure devices such as router 106. NOC 108 may use various software applications but are typically managed using the command line interface, often referred to as CLI, and XML (eXtensible Markup Language) based applications.
WDM optical network 104 is illustrated as including an optical network element (ONE), such as optical wavelength cross-connect 114. Wavelength cross-connect 114 is illustrated having four optical fiber inputs 116 a-116 d that carry traffic in the form of modulated optical signals. It will be appreciated that wavelength cross-connect 114 may have four, eight, sixteen or some other number of optical fiber inputs. Preferably, wavelength cross-connect 114 includes the lasers and photonic detectors in WDM interface 122 that can accept and generate optical signals.
Optical network further comprises optical interface components such as photonic switches, multiplexers, demultiplexers and circuitry for mapping data streams into the optical layer as well as for demapping data streams. Optical network 104 includes a plurality of ONEs that are not illustrated herein. Optical network 104 further includes an optical network operations center (NOC) 118 that resides on an optical network control plane 120 to manage optical network 104. Optical network control plane 120 is represented by a network cloud. Typically, NOC 118 uses Transaction Language One as the telecommunications management protocol widely used to manage optical Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH), Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) and optical transport networks as well as other means to provide rapid identification of services impacted by network outages.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the network shown in
Router 106, representative of packet handling devices, includes WDM interfaces 122 that feed directly into the optical layer without mediation by transponders and is a key component for merging the IP domain with the optical domain. One skilled in the art will understand that such interfaces are presently available in state of the art IP-optical networks. Thus, in this IP-optical network, optical signals that cross the IP-optical boundary 110 are directed to WDM interfaces 122 where the optical signals are converted to IP traffic. Similarly, IP traffic destined for the optical network is converted to optical traffic by WDM interface 122. WDM interfaces 122 may include a tunable laser and is directly integrated with router 106. Effectively, WDM interface 122 collapses network environment 100 by removing a layer of SONET equipment, such as the transponder from the optical domain and short range optical interface cards from the IP domain, to save costs and to link IP traffic directly with SONET operations.
NOC 118 monitors operational conditions of the optical layer and includes a plurality of sensors and systems that enable administrators of optical network 104 to monitor and correct problems when errors are detected. As is well known in the art, typically when an error occurs in the optical network, an alarm is generated that is transferred to the optical control plane 120 and delivered to NOC 118. While the IP-optical architecture provides significant cost savings by removing transponders from network 100, it blurs the demarcation between the IP domain and the optical domain. Many of the fault, configuration, accounting, performance and security (FCAPS) management functions that traditionally reside on a transponder are now moved to the WDM interface on the router, that is, across the boundary into the IP domain.
To illustrate the problem for administrators of the optical network, consider that bit error rate statistics can no longer be collected in the optical layer without a component that performs the necessary electrical processing on the traffic. Rather, in the IP-optical network, only the WDM interface 122 on the router can collect such statistics for the optical traffic.
Because of the optical aspects of the router interface, only NOC 108 would be aware of a soft error type of problem, indicated at 124, occurring in the optical domain. Soft errors are errors other than loss of light or other forward defect indicators (FDI) in the optical domain. Since the router 106 may still be receiving bits, any alarms generated by the router as a result of the problem 124 could be assigned a low priority. Without the present invention, NOC 118 would not have visibiltiy of the error and would be unable to proactively resolve the problem. In an idealized network environment, the IP network administrators would simply provide NOC 118 full access to the management functions of the router 106 but this openness makes it difficult to keep the management of the router separate from the management of the optical layer. The problem is further exacerbated by organizational boundaries within most service providers that require, at least as a first management step, that the two management domains remain separate and each retain the same black box behavior as in traditional architecture. With the present invention, the error condition is reported to both management center 108, as indicated at 126, and NOC 118, as indicated at 128. This allows the optical layer to report the alarm to NOC 118. Furthermore, when router 106 detects a problem in the IP domain, it sends a backward defect indicator to the adjacent node, that is, the wavelength cross-connect 114 as indicated at 130.
Refer now to
The invention is based, in part, on a protocol layer 202 between the router 106 and a ONE 204 that allows NOC 118 to collect the transmission related data from the router interface, as well as set desired parameters on the router interface. ONE 204 may be any optical network edge device, such as a multiplexer or a photonic switch.
In one embodiment, the protocol layer 202 is an extension of the existing Link Management Protocol or LMP, which preferably is based on the LMP-WDM IETF standard. LMP is currently used to coordinate error detection and is primarily used to indicate across a domain boundary that a problem has been detected in one domain to the management center in the other domain. To illustrate, with the existing LMP, if the router detects a problem with its operation, an LMP message would be sent to the NOC 118 merely to provide notification of the current status of the IP network. Or, if the NOC 118 detected a problem in the optical domain, then an LMP message would be sent to the management center 108 to provide notification of the current status of the optical network. In neither case, would the prior art LMP message enable a network administrator on the optical side to reconfigure the router in response to a detected problem. Advantageously, the present invention provides the mechanism and the method for responding to a problem in the optical domain by changing or correcting router configuration. The protocol layer 202 may also be based on network management protocols, such as XML (eXtensible Markup Language), SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), CLI (Command Line Interface) or TL/1 (Transaction Language 1).
Alternatively, the protocol, in accordance with the present invention, may be implemented as a separate protocol, such as a peer-to-peer signaling protocol. Peer-to-peer signaling protocol is suitable where the IP network and the optical network are operated by a single entity and subject to a unified management scheme.
In addition to the defined protocol layer 202, the present invention also provides a logical interface 206 as part of the management model of the ONE. The logical interface, which represents the optical characteristics of the router interface, acts as a proxy for the physical router interface, but in the optical domain. Therefore, all optical alarms and performance data that are retrieved by the NOC 118, as well as provisioning of the router interface from the NOC, are performed on logical interface 206.
When NOC 118 sends a command, which is typically a TL1 based command, to the ONE 204 relating to logical interface 206, ONE 204 translates the command to the protocol between ONE 204 and router 106 and indirectly provisions or retrieves management data from the router. Alternatively, ONE 204 may retrieve the data from the router 106 at an earlier time and store the data in a local database for retrieval by NOC 118. Such retrieval may, for example, be initiated by a periodic polling request.
When router 106 detects a problem in the IP domain, then router 106 sends a backward defect indicator to the adjacent ONE. This allows the optical layer to report the alarm to NOC 118. The combination of the protocol layer and the logical interface function as a virtual transponder. This combination provides NOC 118 with alarm correlation with router 106, tuning wavelengths, pushing or pulling statistical data and general performance monitoring. Because the NOC 118 still retains control of wavelength management as well as soft errors, network operations in the IP-optical network environment is enhanced.
Ethernet connection 132 also guarantees the performance of the signaling channel if, as in the preferred embodiment, the connection is separate from the management interface because the management interface may be overloaded, during certain conditions such as a software download. Performance guarantees are crucial, especially where optical restoration is implemented, because the speed of restoration depends on the speed of out-of-band signaling.
The mechanism and protocol of the present invention is not limited to fault reporting. Rather, in a preferred embodiment, it is also used for performance monitoring of the optical domain. Thus, when the NOC needs to collect and display performance counters, such as the number of error seconds in each 15 minute time frame, the importance of performance monitoring comes from service providers that require the optical network administrators to continue to operate the transponder functions (FCAPS), but with the transponder functions transferred to the DWDM interface on the router in the IP domain.
In one embodiment, the negotiated parameters include:
signal type (10GE or OC192 PLI), which is a value determined by the PLI card type;
signal format (native, G.709, G.709 with EFEC), which is a value determined by either the PLI or from the optical domain;
the wavelength to be transmitted which is determined by NOC 118 which can add/drop ports, support fixed wavelengths, so that when a PLI is connected to a particular port on ONE its wavelength is well defined;
trace ID at the G.709 frame which can be set by an operation on either side;
threshold crossing alarm (TCA) which is the threshold that is set by an operation on either side of the boundary 110.
If NOC 118 sets the �virtual interface� that represents a router WDM port on ONE, and if the IP management system leaves these parameters undefined, then the values from the optical side will be accepted. On the other hand, if the IP management system 108 wishes to explicitly set some values and exclude other values, then the values set in the IP domain will not be overridden by what the NOC has provisioned. This auto-negotiation mechanism enables the parameters that the optical system can provision on the router interface and then enables the optical domain to automatically provision the interface.
Beyond the basic operations of the WDM interface on the router, it may be desirable to automatically detect the mapping between that interfaces and the optical layer interface. Unlike the functions described above, this function is not mandatory because it is always possible to manually configure the mapping, however it is certainly a desirable feature as it prevents human error and is a labor saving function.
In order to discover how two interfaces are connected, it is necessary to send an in-band code over these interfaces; however, optical domain does not have visibility into the signals it carries as each ONE 706 and 708 are pure optical boxes with the conversion to bits occurring at the router's ports. The optical domain does have a photodiode per interface for fault management purposes that allows it to detect a very slow code created by turning the laser on the router's WDM interface ports on and off.
Two implementation details will determine the frequency of this on/off sequence:
the polling speed for the photodiode (when the polling is done in software, the polling speed is on the order of about 100-200 ms); and
the speed at which the laser in the WDM interface can be turned on and off.
Because the optical domain does not own the DWDM sources, it can not generate any type of autodiscovery sequence. Accordingly, the autodiscovery function is unidirectional with the optical domain discovering the incoming interfaces from the router and no active discovery is done in the opposite direction for the interfaces from ONEs 706 and 708 into the routers 702 and 704. The cabling is preferably the same in both directions.
One skilled in the art will appreciate that determining when a particular interface should start the autodiscovery sequence and when should it stop is a difficult issue to resolve and is preferably an engineering parameter to be decided for each particular application. However, the present invention provides that the re-start sequence that occurs after a disconnection between the two boxes and after the optical domain discovers the autodiscovery sequence from the router, it needs to report back (over LMP) the recognized code from the interface over which the code was received. This establishes the mapping of the interfaces and needs to be reported back from the router to NOC 118 via the ONE again over LMP 710.
To discover how two interfaces, one in the IP domain and one in the optical domain, are connected, the present invention initiates a procedure for mapping the connection. Typically, the mapping occurs after a detected connection loss and the system is attempting to re-establish connection as indicated at 802. Because NOC 118 does not have visibility into the optical signals carried on optical network 104, a photodiode at each interfaces (not illustrated) is also useful for both auto mapping and fault management purposes.
At 804, router 106 initially begins to transmit a very slow in-band code by turning the laser at WDM interface 122 on and off. At 806, the code is detected by the photodiode by polling and passed to NOC 118. Since NOC 118 does not own the WDM interface 122, it can not generate any type of autodiscovery sequence, therefore the autodiscovery sequence is unidirectional with NOC 118 discovering the incoming interfaces from router 106. Note that no active discovery occurs in the opposite direction for the interfaces from NOC 118 into router 106.
As indicated at 808, when NOC 118 discovers the autodiscovery sequence, it reports to router 106 the code it detected at the interface, preferably with a message over LMP. In response to the message, router 106 reports back to NOC 118 with a message that is again preferably over LMP as indicated at 810. As indicated 812, the message from the NOC 118 to router 106 and the message from router 106 to NOC 118 initiate certain action that each side needs to take to begin normal operations. At 814, data is transferred between the IP-optical domain.
Therefore, while the description above provides a full and complete disclosure of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, various modifications, alternate constructions, and equivalents will be obvious to those with skill in the art. Thus, the scope of the present invention is limited solely by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.

Can't wait to return
My husband, son and I stayed at the property form our nights at the end of September. We LOVED it. I grew up in Manhattan Beach and we return "home" every once in awhile. Usually we stay in MB, however our go to property is no longer available. I was hoping to find a replacement, and this rental is IT! It's location to the beach, as well as the views from the family room are perfect. The beds are super comfortable and the rooms are spacious. The condo has a great location to bars, restaurants, and delis, which is great. They are all low key so there isn't the craziness that can go along with local bars. We can't wait to return!
California Dreaming
Well appointed home. We were family of 4, with 2 grown sons. We loved using the bikes in the garage and our mini-van fit just fine. Umbrella in garage and extra plastic table and chairs in closet, out the farm-style kitchen door-made dining on the patio beach-side great. No closet in the master (but there are built in cabinets for folded clothes, nor curtains, so used the portable screen in the room to cordon off a little dressing area and hang my clothes thereon, as was a bit too shy to dress in open view of the windows surrounding. Fabulous view from these windows, complete with binoculars to look for dolphins. Did not use outside jacuzzi. Great having washer/dryer-as the males all came down with flu, but were very comfortable in our separate rooms and I kept things ship shape! We loved having coffee in the morning on the strand side patio, to watch the area come to life. Nice built in grille too! The owner was very responsive to our needs and even sent a little box of chocolate covered strawberries as a surprise. Enjoyed walking down to the pier, where there are lots of restaurants and shops. We also bought light up frisbees and the boys had a blast at night on the beach with these. The extra guest pass allowed our relatives to pick up grandma and drive over daily and park with easier access for her. Proximity to many stores and entertainment venues, but a quiet spot to relax and watch the life go by. Great being able to use the local land line, as cell phone coverage was spotty. We will rent here again!
Perfect Family house for beach vacation!
We had a lot a fun in this house with our family. All the bedrooms are really cute and comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need, the living-room is spacious, the garden is perfect for having barbecue lunches and dinner. and the Hot Tub is awesome, very nice touch for late afternoon. And the contact with the landlord was really easy, tried to accommodate us as much as possible. Thank you so much, we had an amazing time there!

Terry Gilliam's The Zero Theorem

An old-fashioned Mediterranean coming-of-age story set in the young heart of the Levant, The Matchmaker combines the tender tone of a film like Cinema Paradiso with a clear-eyed, street-level vantage on Israel's summer of the Six-Day War. That would be 1968, where we wind up after a brief introduction to the adult Arik (Eyal Shehter), a novelist, as he is named the sole heir to a recently deceased, long-ago acquaintance named Yankele Bride (Adir Miller) during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon war. Back in '68, Arik (played as a teenager by Tuval Shafir) was just discovering his talent for fabulist storytelling when he met Yankele, a self-styled matchmaker still evading the ghosts of his Holocaust encampment. Nosy and interested enough in Yankele's intricate character work to make a good apprentice, Arik spends his summer shadowing potential suitors and writing about his exploits with a group that includes Yankele's glamorously damaged business partner (a radiant Maya Dagan) and a nubile Iraqi-American emissary from the sexual revolution (Neta Porat). Writer-director Avi Nesher (working from a novel by Amir Gutfreund) balances his Our Town array of characters and loaded subtexts with a gentle but propulsive pace, careful to cut elegy with the cold knife of history.

"This gives the chicken a nice crunchy bite. You can also cut the cutlets into fingers for a great appetizer."
Serving Size: 1 (103 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 4
"I loved the flavor, but being a seasoning addict, I added allspice to the honey mix and the flour mix. It was really good."
"This is soooo good! I added some crushed red pepper, green onion, and a touch of salt (reminded me of some delicious Mongolian chicken that I used to order all the time when I lived somewhere else), and served it over steamed rice, and had steamed broccoli on the side. Mmmm!"
"Used oil to brown the chicken, then butter instead of margarine for the honey mix, loved the flavour and the crunch. =)"
"AWESOME recipe and SIMPLE too. I added green onions and served it with jasmine rice....PERFECT!"
"Very easy and delicious. A chicken baklavah!"
"When I first found this recipe, I noticed that everyone had been adapting it a bit to suit their own tastes. I had some cranberries, and thought that they would compliment the pecans really well. This was an absolutely delicious dish. I can't wait to make it again."
"This chicken is so good. Very easy tp follow recipe. Very crunchy, nutty, buttery taste. Thanks a lot!"
"This recipe is very similar, if not identical, to one I have been searching for for 2 years! A lakeside restaurant in Erie, Pennsylvania served us this dish one wonderful weekend in 1999. Thanks for bringing back a great memory!"
"This chicken was very delicious. My hubby loved it. I added crushed red pepper to spice it up. It was a great combo of spicy and sweet. I would definitely recommend this to others."
"This recipe was VERY good it was a nice change of pace and VERY simple to prepare. I served it over rice and dinner was a hit"
"This recipe is soooo easy and soooo tasty. I made it for a company luncheon today and got rave reviews on it. Thanks Mirjam for another wonderful recipe!"
"This was one of the best chicken dishes ever! I made it with basmati rice and spicy thai vegetables. Only problem is, its so hard to stop eating this stuff!I crawled over to the computer from the table where my fiance is still licking his place .. thanks!"
"This was such a wonderful recipe! I whipped this up with wild rice and portabello mushrooms and i'm afraid there will be none left for hubby when he gets home. I did add garlic, and about 1/4 cup of water to the sauce and sprinkled parsley on top. Not only was it delicious it was very pretty! Thanks, Mirjam. "
"This is so quick and tasty, I make it often. It's great using cashews as well. Thanks."
"This is such an easy and quick dinner, but I would definitely add some spice to it. Something to cut the sweetness abit, like cayenne, or some veggies to add bitterness. I love the contrasts!"
"How could a 5-ingredient recipe taste this good? Amazing! It was absolutely scrumptious! "
"YUMMY...Made this for dinner tonight, my husband really liked it. I wouldn't change anything, I used chicken tenders so it cooked up fast! I will definently make this again real soon...Thanks"
"There's a good reason this has 24 Five Star reviews!! It's easy,quick, and fabulous!! I made the recipe exactly as written, and couldn't be more pleased..thanks for a great dinner!!"
"Yummmmm!! I also "cheated" by using breaded chicken fingers, used toasted sesame seeds on the top. Very good!"

"Loved this design and especially the mail service feature- I uploaded all of the recipients' addresses before my baby was born and tinyprints sent them out for me. The only annoying thing is that you can't then re-order more of the same cards without using that mailing feature. Weird."
"I chose this design because I couldn't pick just one or two pictures from our newborn session to use, and this was a great way to choose 5 without it seeming cluttered. It was the perfect choice to introduce our baby!"
"This design has a great layout and the paper quality is nicer than I expected. I used a black and photo on the front of the announcement and it really stood out against the pink trim! The shipment arrived as expected and reordering was super easy."
"The baby announcements were perfect! Looked exactly like I expected! They shipped fast and got delivered earlier than quoted as well!! Very pleased!!"
"I wished I would have known the the cost for sending it would be more than sending a regular 4 x 6. The quality is great and I love the option for adding text or pictures on the back too!"

Stocks Show Signs of Recovery, But Still Work to Do
Last week, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) released its annual report detailing progress toward ending overfishing and recovering overfished stocks. Each year, NMFS reports on the number of stocks where overfishing is occurring (mortality is above sustainable levels), the number of stocks that are overfished (populations have not yet recovered from past overfishing), and the number of stocks that are no longer depleted, or are considered "rebuilt." In 2012, NMFS reported continued progress, which is good news in light of controversial decisions to follow scientific recommendations to further cut quotas of key New England stocks. According to the report, ten stocks are no longer subject to overfishing, including short-fin mako, Caribbean grouper, and Gulf of Mexico red snapper. Additionally, six stocks are now considered "rebuilt," including southern Tanner crabs, Washington coast Coho salmon, south Atlantic pink shrimp, and southern New England/Mid-Atlantic windowpane and yellowtail flounder.
While we are encouraged by any evidence of progress toward ending overfishing and rebuilding overfished stocks, it is important to remember that significant work remains before fishing practices will be fully sustainable in the United States. While NMFS is proud that only 10% of stocks in the United States are being overfished, this statistic does not include stocks whose abundance and fishing mortality remain unknown. We still do not even have adequate information on half of the 446 federally-managed stocks to determine if they are being overfished. In order to fully understand and minimize the impacts of fishing activities on these stocks, bycatch must be accurately recorded and reported in each of the fisheries where they are caught and discarded. Based on the status of the population and the stock's ability to withstand fishing mortality, science-based limits on bycatch must be established and enforced.
While we are eager for stocks to recover and show signs of rebuilding, the information that forms the foundation of these status determinations (catch, bycatch, species abundance, and natural fluctuations) are fraught with uncertainty and large statistical variation, highlighting the importance of adopting a precautionary approach when setting catch limits and other management measures. Oceana will continue to advocate for ongoing research funding, enhanced observer coverage, and science-based catch and bycatch limits that will help improve the state of fisheries in the U.S.

Four Pritzker-Prize winners to submit conceptual designs for new office tower in Manhattan
L&L Holding Company, LLC, today announced that four of the world's most acclaimed architecture firms – Foster + Partners (Lord Norman Foster), Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (Lord Richard Rogers), OMA (Rem Koolhaas) and Zaha Hadid Architects – are participating this week in the conceptual design phase of its architectural competition for a new office tower to be constructed at 425 Park Avenue in Manhattan.
In April of this year, L&L Holding invited 11 of the world's most accomplished architects to express their interest in competing for the commission to design a new tower at 425 Park Avenue. Of those invited, nine firms chose to enter the competition. After careful deliberations, L&L Holding narrowed its list to the four selected firms, each of which is led by a Pritzker Prize-winning architect with extensive international experience and proven expertise in office tower design.
The architects and their teams have prepared and are presenting their conceptual designs this week for a 650,000 square foot tower that will be designed to high L.E.E.D. sustainability standards.
Correction to Wim Wenders and Peter Zumthor Rumor
It has been confirmed by Studio Wim Wenders and Atelier Peter Zumthor & Partners that the news of Wim Wenders devoting his new 3D documentary film on architecture to Peter Zumthor was in fact a rumor. Although Wenders will be conducting an artistic interview film with Zumthor for the upcoming 2012 Venice Biennale, it has nothing to do with his feature documentary. The Biennale interview film and the 3D documentary on architecture are two separate projects that were mistakenly combined by the source article. We apologize for the confusion.
With that begin said, we look forward to both the Biennale film and the 3D documentary, as the internationally renowned director never seems to disappoint.

Designing for Adaptable Futures Winners Announced
The 2012 results for the DAF (Designing Adaptable Futures) International Student Design Competition are in! A joint first prize, a third prize and five honorable mentions were awarded among 150 submission from 26 countries. The competition asked students to present an architectural proposal that had a transformable quality that could make the physical or experiential space change over any given span of time. The prompt embraces what Adaptable Futures is about. The organization looks at the value of longevity in architecture through the adaptability of the built environment. It challenges notions of monumental architecture and architecture as a symbol of its time. It asks, instead to design with the context – the present – and its "temporal reality" – the changing and evolving future – in mind. After the break, take a look at the projects that were selected for best embodying the ability for architecture to adapt.

Planning permission for a new extension to the Victoria & Albert Museum has officially been granted today. The £41 million project will be the biggest new art space in London since the Tate Modern.The bid to design a 1,500 square metre underground gallery for temporary exhibitions, courtyard and entrance on Exhibition Road was won by architecture firm, AL_A, in March 2011. We interview Amanda Levete, founder and director of the firm, about the specifics of the plans and her thoughts on the government's support of British architecture. Amanda Levete is one of the most successful women in architecture and is married to Ben Evans, director of The London Design Festival. She regularly collaborates with artists such as Anish Kapoor and has previously worked on projects such as the Selfridges department store in Birmingham, the media centre at Lord's cricket ground and, with her own firm, installing 'The Timber Wave' in the entrance to the V&A.

on Learning to Walk in the Dark by Barbara Brown Taylor
4 Wednesdays: October 29, November 5, 19 and 26 from 5:00-6:30 p.m.
Best-selling author and former Episcopal priest Taylor returns with another thoughtful book. This time Taylor confronts head-on faith and, most significantly, the dark night of the soul. But really this is a meditation on darkness itself—more a journal, she emphasizes, than a manual. What does Taylor mean by darkness? Darkness, she
writes, is "shorthand for anything that scares me." That could include something as profound as the absence of God, to the fear of dementia, to the loss of family and friends, as well as that "nagging" question of "what it will feel like to die?" She recounts how she became impatient with church teachings that accentuated the light while denying the existence of darkness, and comments on the difference between faith and belief, certainty and trust. An elegant writer with the common touch, Taylor is always a wonderful guide to the spiritual world, and this book is no exception. Here she encourages us to turn out the lights and embrace the spiritual darkness, for it is in the dark, she maintains, that one can truly see." --June Sawyers, Booklist
The book is readily available in bookstores or online, or in Kindle.
Please let Martha or the office know if you plan to join in.
Bloor Street is reading the whole Bible as one long story over the course of the year. We began at Genesis 1 on September 7th and will end in June with Revelation.

"The Story" is composed of long sections from the New International Version, linked by paraphrased material. The Sunday School and Youth programs will be coordinated to the same set of stories that we are considering in church and in lectionary groups. The Story is available through amazon.ca, Kindle and available through Chapters as well.
Come and join us Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. in the Music Room!
Along with preparing music for Sunday services, we are starting to work towards our concert program with orchestra at the end of November: C. P. E. Bach's captivating oratorio The Israelites in the Wilderness. (This will tie in with Bloor Street's liturgical focus on the Old Testament in services this fall.)

Yachayhuasi Knowledge House, the Refugee Outreach Program's Saturday program, is now on Facebook. Every
Saturday, volunteers offer Spanish lessons for kids and English conversation for adults, along with a chance to make new friends. The Facebook page helps participants keep in touch as well as reaching some new families and volunteers for the program.
Ten volunteers from Bloor Street (who have or will soon have the requisite security check) have signed up to assist with this initiative. An orientation session for volunteers was held on September 21st and a further session will be held shortly before the refugee arrives. As of October 29th Bloor Street has collected $6,075 for the initiative and a congregant has said that they can likely provide short term housing until the refugee can find more permanent housing after arrival. From a list of refugees provided by our partner, the Anglican United Refugee Alliance (AURA), the Refugee Sponsorship Committee selected a 19 year old LGBT man fleeing persecution in Iran to sponsor. AURA will be submitting our application shortly and has advised that we should prepare for the arrival of this young man within 4-6 weeks of our application being processed. The Refugee Sponsorship Committee would like to thank the ongregation for its amazing support for this initiative. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact email@example.com.
For the Refugee Outreach Program, Christmas is almost a year-round season! September is the time for thinking
ahead, recruiting volunteers and doing the "before hand" tasks that will make this year's Family Party on Saturday,
December 20th go well. How can you help? Mark your calendar to volunteer on the 20th, sign up as a lead or helper

As world of gadgets grows, online industry tunes in to video ads
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Internet video ads, long a sideshow in the online advertising market, are gaining in importance to marketers and Web publishers as they look to capitalize on consumers' changing viewing habits and tap a $70 billion television market.
The ever-expanding array of gadgets that display online video, from tablets to Internet-connected TVs and DVD players, along with technology such as social media that facilitates distribution, has spurred new interest.
The growing trend means websites like Google Inc's (GOOG.O) YouTube, Yahoo (YHOO.O), AOL (AOL.N) and Hulu have a better shot at tapping the mother lode of television advertising budgets, though video ads have a long way to go before they become as dominant a part of the marketing landscape as TV ads.
Research firm eMarketer says video is the fastest growing form of online advertising, with spending increasing 46 percent last year, and outpacing popular formats such as search ads and display ads.
Google does not break out financial results for its YouTube business, but Chief Business Officer Nikesh Arora said on Tuesday that spending among YouTube's top 100 advertisers increased by more than 50 percent in 2012 compared with the year before.
There have been media reports that Facebook is developing a video ad service, and analysts will likely be looking for answers on that avenue when the social networking giant delivers its quarterly results on Wednesday.
At Yahoo, "one of our highest priorities was to create more online video experiences, because that's where the demand is for advertising," said Tim Morse, the former Yahoo finance chief who became CFO of video advertising technology company Adap.TV this month.
Advertisers are increasingly fond of video ads, Morse said, because of the similarities to TV.
"It's the closest to what they've had offline. They're looking for the same kind of medium where they can connect with consumers," he told Reuters.
Chevrolet has been running online video ads for several years, but significantly ramped up its activities and investment in 2012, said Carolin Probst-Iyer, the manager of digital consumer engagement for the General Motors (GM.N) division.
"Last year was a bit of a turning point," she said, as Chevrolet put greater emphasis on creating original video ads and looking for new ways to distribute spots, rather than simply running existing TV ads on YouTube and TV network websites.
One recent ad for the buzz-worthy new Corvette Stingray was viewed more times on mobile devices than it was on PCs, she said.
For Web publishers, video ads are good business. While typical banner ad rates can generate a few dollars per thousand views, video ad rates can reach $20 per thousand views, said eMarketer's David Hallerman.
"All of the Internet advertising to date has come from print sources," such as newspapers, magazines and yellow pages, said RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Mahaney.
"We're are at a point where television ad budgets are likely to come online."
The explosion of new screens such as smartphones and tablets greatly increases the venues where consumers can watch video, whether they're at their desks or on a bus. And social networking, which makes it easy for users to share favorite videos, has given marketers added incentive to produce video ads that can gain additional exposure by tapping into the social slipstream.
YouTube's head of industry development, Suzie Reider, said marketers are increasingly developing ads that are tailored for specific audiences, making it more likely that Web surfers will actually watch them.
"We're living in a day and age where nobody has to watch an ad that they don't want to watch," said Reider. "You can skip them on the Web, you can skip them on TV."
To make its website more appealing to advertisers, YouTube has helped create hundreds of "premium channels" featuring professionally produced video as opposed to the amateur clips YouTube is famous for. And it's developed a type of video ad that users can skip after five seconds - advertisers only pay if the ad is watched all the way through.
Despite the growth in Web video ad spending, which eMarketer estimates reached $2.93 billion in the United States last year, the firm said the spending still represents only about 10 percent of the broader online advertising market.
And that is a mere drop in the bucket compared with the $68 billion that Kantar Media estimates was spent on television advertising in 2011.
One potential constraint is the way big brands and agencies organize their marketing budgets, says Pivotal Research Group analyst Brian Wieser. Online video ads are typically funded from Web ad budgets rather than a much larger pool set aside for TV.
Analysts also note that the rich rates websites collect for video ads will decrease as more Internet sites open to ads - something that's already happening thanks to technology that automatically pairs ads with videos on websites.
Still, many analysts and industry executives are optimistic about what they see as the bigger picture.
"The number of people watching TV seems to be stagnating or declining, and the number of people turning to the Internet for entertainment is surging," said RBC's Mahaney. "It almost inevitably drives these TV budgets online"

The Porsche Panamera hybrid is a gorgeous, sexy machine that uses the latest "soft" hybrid technology to give Maserati performance at double the gas mileage (I have owned both). The fit and finish are extraordinary and performace silky and responsive. The hatchback design with rear seat fold down even allow and oversized boogie board to be transported to the beach in style. So, if you want to drive a sports car that is also reasonably practicle and save the planet at the same time, this (or the Fisker Karma) is the car for you.
