A survey of the research on future internet architecturesPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 26 - 36
Cited by: Papers (44)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (651 KB) | | HTML
The current Internet, which was designed over 40 years ago, is facing unprecedented challenges in many aspects, especially in the commercial context. The emerging demands for security, mobility, content distribution, etc. are hard to be met by incremental changes through ad-hoc patches. New clean-slate architecture designs based on new design principles are expected to address these challenges. In this survey article, we investigate the key research topics in the area of future Internet architecture. Many ongoing research projects from United States, the European Union, Japan, China, and other places are introduced and discussed. We aim to draw an overall picture of the current research progress on the future Internet architecture. View full abstract»
Loci of competition for future internet architecturesPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 38 - 43
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (142 KB) | | HTML
Designing for competition is an important consideration for the design of future Internet architectures. Network architects should systematically consider the loci of competition in any proposed network architecture. To be economically sustainable, network architectures should encourage competition within each locus, anticipate and manage the interactions between the loci, and be adaptable to evolution in the loci. Given the longevity of network architectures relative to network technologies and applications, it is important to ensure that competition is not unnecessarily foreclosed at any particular locus of competition.

Biological principles for future internet architecture designPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 44 - 52
Cited by: Papers (6)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (752 KB) | | HTML
Currently, a large number of activities on Internet redesign are being discussed in the research community. While today's Internet was initially planned as a datagram-oriented communication network among research facilities, it has grown and evolved to accommodate unexpected diversity in services and applications. For the future Internet this trend is anticipated to continue even more. Such developments demand that the architecture of the new-generation Internet be designed in a dynamic, modular, and adaptive way. Features like these can often be observed in biological processes that serve as inspiration for designing new cooperative architectural concepts. Our contribution in this article is twofold. First, unlike previous discussions on biologically inspired network control mechanisms, we do not limit ourselves to a single method, but consider ecosystems and coexisting environments of entities that can cooperate based on biological principles. Second, we illustrate our grand view by not only taking inspiration from biology in the design process, but also sketching a possible way to implement biologically driven control in a future Internet architecture.

Enabling future internet research: the FEDERICA casePublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 54 - 61
Cited by: Papers (3)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1192 KB) | | HTML
The Internet, undoubtedly, is the most influential technical invention of the 20th century that affects and constantly changes all aspects of our day-to-day lives nowadays. Although it is hard to predict its long-term consequences, the potential future of the Internet definitely relies on future Internet research. Prior to every development and deployment project, an extensive and comprehensive research study must be performed in order to design, model, analyze, and evaluate all impacts of the new initiative on the existing environment. Taking the ever-growing size of the Internet and the increasing complexity of novel Internet-based applications and services into account, the evaluation and validation of new ideas cannot be effectively carried out over local test beds and small experimental networks. The gap which exists between the small-scale pilots in academic and research test beds and the realsize validations and actual deployments in production networks can be bridged by using virtual infrastructures. FEDERICA is one of the facilities, based on virtualization capabilities in both network and computing resources, which creates custom-made virtual environments and makes them available for Future Internet Researchers. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art research projects that have been using the virtual infrastructure slices of FEDERICA in order to validate their research concepts, even when they are disruptive to the test bed's infrastructure, to obtain results in realistic network environments.

Content, connectivity, and cloud: ingredients for the network of the futurePublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 62 - 70
Cited by: Papers (14)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (908 KB) | | HTML
A new network architecture for the Internet needs ingredients from three approaches: information- centric networking, cloud computing integrated with networking, and open connectivity. Information-centric networking considers pieces of information as first-class entities of a networking architecture, rather than only indirectly identifying and manipulating them via a node hosting that information; this way, information becomes independent from the devices they are stored in, enabling efficient and application- independent information caching in the network. Cloud networking offers a combination and integration of cloud computing and virtual networking. It is a solution that distributes the benefits of cloud computing more deeply into the network, and provides a tighter integration of virtualization features at computing and networking levels. To support these concepts, open connectivity services need to provide advanced transport and networking mechanisms, making use of network and path diversity (even leveraging direct optical paths) and encoding techniques, and dealing with ubiquitous mobility of user, content and information objects in a unified way.

PEARL: a programmable virtual router platformPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 71 - 77
Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (683 KB) | | HTML
Programmable routers supporting virtualization are a key building block for bridging the gap between new Internet protocols and their deployment in real operational networks. This article presents the design and implementation of PEARL, a programmable virtual router platform with relatively high performance. It offers high flexibility by allowing users to control the configuration of both hardware and software data paths. The platform makes use of fast lookup in hardware and software exceptions in commodity multicore CPUs to achieve highspeed packet processing. Multiple isolated packet streams and virtualization techniques ensure isolation among virtual router instances. View full abstract»

Toward decentralized probabilistic managementPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 80 - 86
Cited by: Papers (9)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (148 KB) | | HTML
In recent years, data communication networks have grown to immense size and have been diversified by the mobile revolution. Existing management solutions are based on a centralized deterministic paradigm, which is appropriate for networks of moderate size operating in relatively stable conditions. However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that these management solutions are not able to cope with the large dynamic networks that are emerging. In this article, we argue that the adoption of a decentralized and probabilistic paradigm for network management will be crucial to meet the challenges of future networks, such as efficient resource usage, scalability, robustness, and adaptability. We discuss the potential of decentralized probabilistic management and its impact on management operations, and illustrate the paradigm by three example solutions for real-time monitoring and anomaly detection.

Network resilience: a systematic approachPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 88 - 97
Cited by: Papers (2)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (1629 KB) | | HTML
The cost of failures within communication networks is significant and will only increase as their reach further extends into the way our society functions. Some aspects of network resilience, such as the application of fault-tolerant systems techniques to optical switching, have been studied and applied to great effect. However, networks - and the Internet in particular - are still vulnerable to malicious attacks, human mistakes such as misconfigurations, and a range of environmental challenges. We argue that this is, in part, due to a lack of a holistic view of the resilience problem, leading to inappropriate and difficult-to-manage solutions. In this article, we present a systematic approach to building resilient networked systems. We first study fundamental elements at the framework level such as metrics, policies, and information sensing mechanisms. Their understanding drives the design of a distributed multilevel architecture that lets the network defend itself against, detect, and dynamically respond to challenges. We then use a concrete case study to show how the framework and mechanisms we have developed can be applied to enhance resilience. View full abstract»
A survey of virtual LAN usage in campus networksPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 98 - 103
Cited by: Papers (3)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (130 KB) | | HTML
VLANs are widely used in today's enterprise networks to improve Ethernet scalability and support network policies. However, manuals and textbooks offer very little information about how VLANs are actually used in practice. Through discussions with network administrators and analysis of configuration data, we describe how three university campuses and one academic department use VLANs to achieve a variety of goals. We argue that VLANs are ill-suited to some of these goals (e.g., VLANs are often used to realize access control policies, but constrain the types of policies that can be expressed). Furthermore, the use of VLANs leads to significant complexity in the configuration of network devices. View full abstract»
Toward fine-grained traffic classificationPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 104 - 111
Cited by: Papers (1)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (283 KB) | | HTML
A decade of research on traffic classification has provided various methodologies to investigate the traffic composition in data communication networks. Many variants or combinations of such methodologies have been introduced continuously to improve the classification accuracy and efficiency. However, the level of classification details is often bounded to identifying protocols or applications in use. In this article, we propose a fine-grained traffic classification scheme based on the analysis of existing classification methodologies. This scheme allows to classify traffic according to the functionalities in an application. In particular, we present a traffic classifier which utilizes a document retrieval technique and applies multiple signatures to detect the peer-to-peer application traffic according to different functionalities in it. We show that the proposed scheme can provide more in-depth classification results for analyzing user contexts. View full abstract»

Overview of femtocell support in advanced WiMAX systemsPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 122 - 130
Cited by: Papers (4)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (270 KB) | | HTML
The femtocell concept is an integral part of the telecommunication industry's efforts to provide high-throughput, high quality services into the users' home. In contrast to conventional cell types which are well-planned by the operators, femtocell base stations are supposed to be installed by customers themselves, similar to a WiFi access point. Unlike WiFi, however, femtocells operate mainly in licensed bands, such that operators are in control of the radio interface. This brings new challenges as well as opportunities for femtocell design; these include sophisticated mobility and interference management, increased reliability, as well as deployment in a plug-and-play manner. Extensive progress in femtocell design has been made in Advanced WiMAX recently, which is associated with the IEEE 802.16m update in 2011. This article gives an overview and update on novel concepts and mechanisms for femtocell support in the network architecture and air interface that have been adopted into the WiMAX Forum network specifications and the IEEE 802.16m specification.

Smart utility networks in tv white spacePublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 132 - 139
Cited by: Papers (11)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (944 KB) | | HTML
This article presents an overview of the background, technology, regulation, and standardization in the course of deploying smart utility networks (SUNs) in TV white space (TVWS) communications, two wireless technologies currently receiving overwhelming interest in the wireless industry and academia. They are independent to and uncorrelated with each other, but share the same mission: conserving resources and increasing efficiency. This article reviews the systems as separate technologies, and then combines them to propose a hybrid solution that draws out their respective advantages. The first part focuses on SUNs and describes the SUN usage model with typical application requirements and practical examples, followed by the latest developments in standardization initiatives with emphasis on the currently active IEEE 802.15.4g and 802.11ah groups. The second part discusses TVWS, studying and summarizing the regulations governing its usage, and then reports on the standardization bodies' responses to these regulations with a focus on IEEE 802.11af, 802.19.1, and 802.22. Finally, the third part amalgamates the SUN usage model with TVWS regulations and deployment scenarios, providing relationship mapping between the SUN components and regulation-compliant TVWS devices. Further discussions concentrate on the opportunities and challenges along the path of realizing a practical SUN in the TVWS spectrum under the current technical and regulatory conditions. Several recommendations are made from both regulatory and technical standpoints to further increase utilization of SUNs in TVWS. View full abstract»
Advances in mode-stirred reverberation chambers for wireless communication performance evaluationPublication Year: 2011 , Page(s): 140 - 147
Cited by: Papers (11)| | Quick Abstract | PDF (2160 KB) | | HTML
Reverberation chambers (RC) are a popular tool for laboratory wireless communication performance evaluation, and their standardization for Over-The-Air (OTA) measurements is underway. Yet, the inherent limitations of single-cavity RCs to emulate isotropic Rayleigh-fading scenarios with uniform phase distribution and high elevation angular spread put their representation of realistic scenarios into jeopardy. Recent advances in the last few years, however, have solved all these limitations by using more general mode-stirred reverberation chambers (MSC), wherein the number of cavities, their stirring and coupling mechanisms, and their software postprocessing algorithms is far from simple, representing a new era for wireless communications research, development, and over-the-air testing. This article highlights recent advances in the development of second-generation mode-stirred chambers for wireless communications performance evaluation. View full abstract»

With clients like eBay, Xsigo brings data management to challenge IBM and HP.
Oracle Corp. has agreed to buy Xsigo Systems, whose technology can help retailers better manage busy periods online. Oracle didn't say what it expects to pay for Xsigo.
Xsigo specializes in providing "network virtualization" technology, which enables clients to access additional computing and data storage available in Internet server farms, often referred to as cloud technology. Xsigo software enables users to expand the capabilities of a single server by connecting with computing and data storage capacity from multiple cloud-based servers simultaneously as needed, providing what data experts say can be an extremely efficient way to increase computing power and data storage.
"This helps Oracle serve large data-intensive markets better," says Richard Fichera, a technology analyst at Forrester Research Inc.
For retailers, the ability to dynamically connect with additional computing and data storage can be particularly helpful during peak shopping periods, Fichera and other experts say. It can also help retailers' technology and service providers, such as Xsigo client ExactTarget, an e-mail services provider, quickly ramp up during busy periods.
While Oracle already has network virtualization software it calls Oracle VM for connecting with cloud-based servers, it hasn't had a strong component for connecting with cloud-based storage and, as a result, has ceded that end of the market to IBM Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Co., Fichera says. "Xsigo brings a capability that Oracle lacks and that HP and IBM have," he says. "It brings value for Oracle in being able to offer a complete network infrastructure."
The deal should also help shore up Xsigo's business by connecting it with Oracle's customer base. Xsigo has struggled for market share against IBM, HP and Cisco Systems Inc., Fichera says.
Xsigo's customers include eBay.com, tickets site StubHub.com, Verizon Communications Inc. and CarFax, the online seller of motor vehicle records. Oracle says it expects to close on the deal this fall. Xsigo is the latest in a series of Oracle's acquisition targets, including social marketing company Involver and Collective Intellect, whose technology is designed to let marketers interact with consumers on social networks.
The Oracle-Xsigo deal follows an agreement announced last week by VMWare Inc., another provider of network virtualization technology, to pay about $1.05 million in cash, plus the assumption of about $250 million in liabilities, for Nicira Inc. Like VMWare, Nicira provides software for accessing cloud-based computing power and data stores, but it also brings VMWare additional expertise such as for operating in open-source technology systems, the two companies say.
Nicira's clients include eBay and RackSpace Hosting, a provider of Internet hosting services to online retailers. VMWare's clients include Revlon Inc., Southwest Airlines and retailer Active Sports, whose flagship e-commerce site is The-House.com.

Red Sugar Apple seeds
I've been looking for seeds to red varieties of Annona squamosa for a while, but haven't found any for sale yet. Are these plants true to seed/do they transfer their red color to offspring? There are some growers selling seeds for each variety, which leads me to believe they are...
Mostly interested in the Big Red and Kampong Mauve cultivars. If anyone knows of a source for seeds, a link or suggestion would be greatly appreciated! (Or suggestions of north/central CA nurseries that sell red varieties)
You can check my website for the link to another forum. Look up FloridaGreenMan. His name is Noel. If anyone can get you seeds to his Big Red, he is. This is Noel's creation and he named it. I just spoke with him and he has seeds available. The Big Red is definitely a better producer than the KM.

Rolfing is an alternative medical treatment marketed by the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration (RISI).[1] The Institute states that Rolfing is a "holistic system of soft tissue manipulation and movement education that organize(s) the whole body in gravity".[1][2] Rolfing is essentially identical to Structural Integration.[3]
There is no evidence Rolfing is effective for the treatment of any health condition.[4]
Ida Pauline Rolf began working on clients in New York in the 1930s with the premise that the human structure could be organized in relation to gravity. In the 1950s Rolf was teaching her work across the United States, and in the mid-1960s she began teaching at Esalen Institute, where she created a loyal following of students and practitioners.[5] Esalen was the epicenter of the Human Potential Movement, allowing Rolf to exchange ideas with many of their leaders, including Fritz Perls.[6][7] In 1971 she founded the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration.[8] The school has been based in Boulder, Colorado since 1972.
Structural Integration incorporates a number of varied techniques and theories including osteopathy,[9] (including cranial osteopathy),[5] yoga,[5][10] and Alfred Korzybski's general semantics.[9]
Rolfing is typically performed in a progression of 10 sessions, sometimes called "the recipe", which is claimed to provide a systematic approach to address goals for the theorized alignment and movement of various body areas.[11] The purpose is to educate the body to have better alignment within gravity.[9][12][13] Rolfers manipulate the fascia until they believe it is operating in conjunction with the muscles in a more optimal relationship.[14][15] In addition to physical manipulation of tissue, Rolfing uses a combination of active and passive movement retraining.[12]
Skeletal muscles often work in opposing pairs called the "agonist" and the "antagonist", the one contracting while the other relaxes. Rolf theorized that "bound up" fasciae (connective tissues) often restrict opposing muscles from functioning in concert. She aimed to separate the fibers of bound up fasciae manually to loosen them and allow effective movement. She claimed to have found an association between emotions and the soft tissue, which is not supported by scientific studies.[16][17]
Rolfing was often considered painful in the early years, but has become more refined. For adults, there may be moments of intense sensation during a session or mild soreness afterward. The technique can be done gently enough for children and the elderly.[18] Rolf believed that fascia tightens as a protective mechanism, so an aggressive approach can be counter-productive. [9]
On The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2007 Mehmet Oz likened Rolfing to having someone do yoga for you.[19]
Rolfers and some experts in alternative medicine describe Rolfing as "somatic education" and use terms such as "bodywork" to describe the hands-on portion of the process.[20] [21] [22] Some factions of the massage industry claim that Rolfing is a type of massage.[3] The massage tradition has drawn significantly from Rolfing, with some of Ida Rolf's students leaving to become prominent teachers of massage.[5] [18]
In addition to the Rolf Institute, where Certified Rolfers are trained, a number of other schools of Structural Integration certify "Practitioners of the Rolf Method of Structural Integration". Standards are maintained by a professional membership organization, the International Association of Structural Integration. These schools include the Guild for Structural Integration,[6] Hellerwork Structural Integration,[6][22][18] Aston Patterning,[6][18] SOMA.[18] KMI,[1] and over a dozen other Structural Integration schools.[1]
Rolfing is of no benefit in treating disease or psychological condition.[4][17]
The ideas of Rolfing such as memories being stored in parts of the body have been described as pseudoscientific.[23] [16]
Skeptics have strongly criticised Rolfing for a lack of scientific support both for its diagnostic methods and its treatment, and have included it in lists of modalities that they consider quackery.[24][25][26]

My new home has a small back yard, but it has a bushy/tall (over 10 feet) Giant Bird of Paradise, which grows very fast. I've wanted to grow other plants in that spot, so I will have to kill that Giant BOP. Its body is so soft, so I believe I can chop off the part above ground, but I don't know how difficult to take care of its root. Please help.
Thank you for sharing! :)
I'm wondering how it would be if you reduced the stems to near the base and then went lower using a sharp mattock or even axe. I'm thinking of it as being in the same category as removing a full-size Phormium tenax - requiring serious effort. It does help to have a manual winch to keep tension on the plant while you chop the roots through - and to pull it clear. Sharp tools and great prudence.
If someone with a 'calf-dozer' could access your small yard, then taking it out with the front scoop could be an option. Or hauling it out for you. The mini-size machines used for working in ditches and tight corners.
You might find that there is a local company with the skills to work in constricted areas to remove plants past their acceptable size. (I hope they don't have to cart it through your house to take it away... I remember doing a job where I had to do that.) It would be worth a trawl through the Yellow Pages, perhaps.
For the roots: Personally, I'd leave it for a season to see if there was any regrowth, then put fresh soil/compost into the area and allow natural decay to work for me.
The other thing I'd be looking for would be the effect of the change in light density on the other plants in the yard, You may find some of them start into enthusiastic growth as soon as they get more light and water.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Harvey Blissberg seemed to be walking a plank of his own making. He had been out of baseball for fifteen years and out of sorts for the last six months. After ten years spent as a private investigator followed by four forgettable ones as a motivational speaker, Harvey felt he was slowly marching himself at cutlass-point toward an early demise. Lately he had spent much of his time on his Cambridge sofa, watching old sporting events on ESPN's Classic Sports Channel and documentaries about the history of baseball.
When the phone rang, he paused a documentary called When It Was a Game that he was enjoying for the third time that week, brushed the tortilla chip crumbs off his shorts, and croaked a hello into the receiver.
"Professor?" a voice said. "That you?"
Professor. No one had called him that for years. It was like hearing a childhood nickname called out at the end of a very long hallway.
"Felix?" Harvey said, meaning Felix Shalhoub, his manager during his last year in the majors with the expansion Providence Jewels, and now—Harvey still followed the game just enough to know this—the franchise's general manager.
"Yeah, yeah, it's me. How are ya?"
"Good to hear your voice. I heard you were doing some motivational speaking."
"Not anymore."
Harvey had been possibly the least motivated motivational speaker ever to address three hundred pharmaceutical salesmen in Orlando or three dozen managers of export documentation for dangerous cargo in Bayonne, New Jersey. How had this happened, that a man who prided himself on his avoidance of cliché should end up peddling platitudes about courage, teamwork, and the will to win? Because a man named Cromarty, who operated a second-rate speakers' bureau in Boston, had heard Harvey address a group of high school coaches and told him that midsize companies who couldn't afford Norman Schwarzkopf or Fran Tarkenton would still shell out good money for a tall, personable, former major-league outfielder with good teeth to pump up their troops.
Cromarty's proposition came at a time when Harvey had lost interest in exploring the bleaker secrets of his fellow human beings. It turned out there was a limit to the amount of evil a man could investigate, even at a certain professional remove, without eventually feeling contaminated by some virus of moral degradation. Before Harvey knew it, he was on a plane to the first of many sales meetings with themes like "Simply the Best," "The Future Is Now," and "Tomorrow's Our Middle Name" to explain to a ballroom of captive employees the fundamentals of a positive outlook that Harvey himself had never quite mastered. When he was through spewing slogans, there was invariably a stampede of grown men to the podium. They peppered him with questions about his baseball exploits, which they remembered far better than he, or tried to solicit his predictions for various pennant races and free-agent signings. It was depressing to Harvey that so many otherwise functional adults would want to shake the hand of a .268 lifetime hitter. And finally, he was out of that game too.
"You still with Mickey Slavin?" Felix asked.
"Still together, still not married. You know, she's now a sideline reporter for ESPN. She's on the road a lot." Fifteen years ago, when they met, he had been the star and she had been an oddity—a female sportscaster, albeit in Providence's tiny market. Now she was on national television, and he was—well, he was on the sofa, merely watching it.
"Now that you mention it, I feel I've seen her around the league this year."
"So how's the team doing?" Harvey asked.
"Whaddya mean, how's the team doing? You don't follow the game anymore?"
"Oh, off and on."
Where to begin Harvey's list of grievances with the national pastime? Overentitled players, selfish owners, and soaring ticket prices that left many ordinary Americans outside the ballpark. Worse, the game itself was buried beneath an avalanche of inane sports talk radio, round-the-clock cable coverage, and merchandising of team apparel and vintage sportswear. The game seemed to Harvey little more than a sideshow, the raw material for the finished product, which were the highlights that ran around the clock on several channels, a frenzy of home runs and annoyingly complex graphics. Instead of being a refuge from the clutter of daily life, baseball was now just part of that clutter.
"We actually got a shot," Felix was saying. "And thanks to Cooley we're selling out. His streak's the biggest thing to hit Providence since the hurricane of 'thirty-eight."
"I see where he's flirting with history."
"More like French-kissing it. Last night he pulled even with Pete Rose and Wee Willie Keeler."
"Twelve more, and he'll do the unthinkable," Harvey said.
"The Daig," Felix said in a reverential whisper. "Joe DiMaggio."
Whose very visage had appeared moments ago on Harvey's TV screen. The documentary he'd been watching consisted of 8- and 16-millimeter home movies of baseball players, games, and ballparks shot by players, their families, and fans between 1934 and 1957. It was like opening up a box of old baseball photographs to find they had all come quietly to life in faded color: DiMaggio himself, Gehrig, Ruth, Robinson, Greenberg, Dickey, even old-timers like Honus Wagner, Ty Cobb, and Cy Young, all liberated from their black-and-white prisons, yet still innocent of television and everything it would do to the game, to the very expressions on men's faces. The home movies gave these players a particular poignancy, a simple clowning humanity.
The documentary captured some of the game's now forgotten rituals: comical pepper games, train travel, afternoon crowds in hats, ties, and fur stoles. In the 1940s, ballplayers were still leaving their gloves—poor little scraps of leather—on the field rather than carrying them to the dugout, as if to say the field was hallowed, as if leaving a sacred piece of themselves there until they returned. Harvey had retired in the 1980s, much closer to the present than the days the documentary depicted, but it was only with the grainy, earnest realities of baseball's past that he felt any connection at all.
"You wouldn't recognize Rankle Park, not since Marshall redid it and renamed it The Jewel Box. We're packing 'em in. It's a real carnival atmosphere."
This was pure Felix. The hoary bromides of baseball were his specialty; "carnival atmosphere," "a real donnybrook," and "a day late and a dollar short" just rolled off his tongue. Not that Harvey was anyone to cast the first stone; he'd made a living off the clichés of competition for the last few years. He'd even stolen a few of Felix's.
"You want to know something funny, Felix? I used to use a few of your favorite sayings in my motivational speaking."
"Be my guest."
"Remember that sign you had in the clubhouse? 'Winners Are People Who Never Learned How To Lose.'"
"I believe that with all my heart."
"I know you do, Felix. And that's why I passed it on to thousands of office supply salesmen across this great country of ours."
"You doing okay, Professor?"
"I'm fine." But the fact that he was wearing an embroidered polyester-blend Mexican shirt with four pockets suggested otherwise, that dark forces were at work. Of course, he could try to justify the guayabera on the basis that, in early middle age, he needed more pockets than ever: for reading glasses, cell phone, bottle of Advil, tiny address book for numbers he could no longer remember, the TV remote control, a tin of Altoids. But without question his sartorial style, which Mickey referred to as "a lot of denim, a little suede, and a great deal of olive green," had taken a nasty, leisure-wear turn. Time had swallowed him up, as he had seen it do to other middle-aged men.
"Look," Felix was saying, "all the more reason for you to come down and see me tomorrow night. I want to talk to you about doing some work for us."
"Do what?"
"We want to hire you as the team's motivational coach."
"You can't be serious."
"A team that's on the verge of winning might as well be losing if it can't get over that last hump of inferiority."
"You just make this shit up, don't you?"
"I need you down here, Professor, to gas these boys up."
"I've been out of baseball a long time, Felix."
"Which gives you that important fresh-blood factor."
"My blood is very tired at the moment."
"That's because you're not out here at the ballpark, where you belong."
"Right here on my sofa is where I belong."
"I'm talking about showing these overpaid boys how to put the finishing touches on their self-esteem. I'm talking about instilling in these boys the peace of mind needed for victory. I've cleared it with Marshall."
"I have nothing to say."
"You're underestimating the value of your experience."
"Don't be so sure."
"I want you to come down here to The Jewel Box. I'm offering you a free skybox seat to a game you'd never be able to get into otherwise. We'll sit and drink Narragansett and talk about my proposition, and you'll see how you feel about this great national pastime."
"I know how I feel about it."
"I'll leave your name and a pass to the owner's box at the Will Call window. Campy would love to see you."
"Campy Strulowitz? I thought he was dead."
"He is dead, but he keeps showing up at the ballpark, so we figure we might as well just let him coach third base."
Harvey laughed, perhaps for the first time in weeks. Felix Shalhoub and Campy Strulowitz still working for the Providence Jewels? After all these years? It was like hearing your family had survived a tornado.
"So it's a deal?" Felix said.
When Harvey got off the phone, he took a long swig from the quart bottle of Gatorade he kept on the end table and stared at the image on his television screen, frozen in pause mode: it was President Eisenhower throwing out the first ball at a Senators' opener in Griffith Stadium. Eisenhower, the Senators, Griffith Stadium—all gone now.
For the first time in a while, Harvey remembered what it was like to stand three hundred feet from home plate and pick up the flight of a ball the instant it came off the bat, how it felt to be connected by a thread of pure desire to that sphere as it rose and cleared the background of the upper deck, arching against the summer night sky as he sprinted deep into right center, Harvey already knowing, with a certainty that was wholly lacking in his present life, that he would consume the ball in full stride a few feet from the warning track and feel the warmth of the fans' applause on the back of his uniform jersey as he loped, full of humble triumph, back to the dugout.
Harvey bit off the corner of a tortilla chip and chewed it thoughtfully. He had the sinking feeling he was about to push himself off the end of the plank, into his shark-infested future.
It was almost midnight by the time Moss Cooley turned into the dapper development in western Cranston where he'd bought a seven-thousand-square-foot home over the winter after signing his new deal with the Providence Jewels. He was the only black man in Roger Williams Estates, a distinction that added a tincture of guilt to his love of the house and its amenities. The truth was, his neighbors left him alone, a courtesy for which he was grateful now that he had to spend two or three hours a day talking to reporters and evaluating endorsement offers. He had helped beat the Baltimore Orioles this evening by sending a hanging curve into the Providence bullpen, making him the sole owner of the second-longest hitting streak in major-league baseball history. Forty-five straight games.
He looked at his hands on the steering wheel and tried to remember what they had been like when he was a scrawny kid hitting rocks into the clover field behind his house with a broom handle. Now his hands, and the thick wrists to which they were attached, had entered history. Sports Illustrated had compared them to Hank Aaron's. He smiled at the absurdity of it all. He couldn't wait to call his mama. She'd still be up waiting to hear from him. When he was ten and newly cut from his Little League team, she had paid a personal visit to Coach Lloyd and browbeat him into taking her little Maurice back. "My boy has greatness in him," she told Lloyd, as she reported to her son years later. "He has greatness in him, and I won't have that greatness sitting around the house all summer, moping and getting into what-all kind of trouble."
As he pulled into the driveway, past the parched lawn beyond the redemption of sprinklers, he wondered if he was in any kind of trouble now. The hate mail didn't faze him, even the worst of it. You reached a certain prominence, and that was part of your job—providing a target for the ranting of unhappy people. As his mama liked to say, "Don't you make other people's unhappiness your business." Just like there were some folks who had to get in the TV shot, mugging and waving like anyone gave a shit, there were a certain number of people in America who just had to write you a letter telling you what a black cocksucker you were.
But the lawn jockey last night had thrown a scare into him. It was different, he thought as he pushed the button for the garage door and waited for it to complete its slow ascent. It had taken more than a 34-cent stamp and a trip to the mailbox to get it to him.
He started to pull his Range Rover into the rightmost bay, next to the mint-condition 1979 Caddy he had bought for the simple reason that he could afford to and that it was the car he had wanted most when he was a child, watching Dr. Drexel cruise around the town of Starrett in his.
Because he was lost in thought, and because he was admiring the Caddy, he was halfway into the garage before he saw it. He applied the brakes. Had he not, it would have hit the windshield.
It had been tied to a piece of twine and hung from the garage ceiling. It dangled in midair, eyes bulging, swaying slightly now in the entering breeze.CHAPTER 2
It was the instant you crossed the border from life's chaos to baseball's magnificent green order. It was the moment that baseball writers fell back on when fresher metaphors escaped them—and yet, there it was, it couldn't be denied that the game's divinity was somehow contained in it. You came up the sloped stadium ramp toward your seat, seeing only sky and perhaps a light tower or a fragment of scoreboard, and as you got closer, the field itself seemed to rise up to meet you. At the crest of the ramp, you stopped, startled by the vivid grass, the scope of the park, the immortal discipline of the diamond. And if it's a night game and the summer sky is turning that bottomless, evening blue, you would be forgiven for thinking that God's a fan.
When Harvey came up the ramp of the jam-packed Jewel Box, né Rankle Park, he was stung by a sadness that this beautiful game had gone on without him. Baseball was an archetype, an institution through whose turnstiles he had come to play his small historical role before being ejected back into the world. And now he was back as just another fan. Or rather, a motivational coach, whatever the hell that was.
As he looked for an usher to give him directions to the owner's box, he took in the new, improved home of the American League East's Providence Jewels. The charming irregularities that highly paid design and architectural firms had created from scratch with the new generation of retro ballparks in Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and Houston, Pro-Gem Palace had achieved as the result of a long organic process. When the expansion Jewels had first moved in sixteen years ago, Rankle Park was a former minor-league park, a steel, brick, and concrete affair down by India Point on the Providence River. It looked like the deformed offspring of a World War II battleship and a nineteenth-century mental hospital. In the years since, owner Marshall Levy had made improvements, culminating in a $30 million facelift. Levy had added new seats, a big scoreboard with all the trimmings, and a grassy knoll beyond the left-center-field fence where fans could put out blankets and picnic. No amount of refurbishing, however, could conceal the fact that the stadium was a hodgepodge. But it conformed to the current vogue for asymmetry, and The Jewel Box was included in any discussion of baseball's architectural treasures.

Posted December 9, 2008
Harvey Blisberg was once a good outfielder for the Providence Jewels. After retiring he became a private investigator until all the evil he witnessed threatened to turn him into a madman. He quit to become a motivational speaker, but gave up on that too because he did not believe his own words.
Harvey accepts a job as bodyguard to Jewel¿s superstar Moss Cooley, a black man closing in on Joe DiMaggio¿s once unbreakable hitting record. The excellent baseball player has (not surprisingly) begun receiving hate mail but there is one death threat that worries team officials because they think that someone is very serious about harming Moss. As he watches over his client, Harvey realizes that this is not about breaking a record by a black man, but is about Moss and someone connected to him. Harvey places himself in peril by following the serpentine trail from Moss to his tormentor.
 Baseball fans are going to love this exciting sports mystery that stars an endearing curmudgeon as a hero. The action is fast-paced and the characters, especially Harvey and Moss, feel genuine. With MEAN STREET, RD Rosen hits a home run to rival that of Maz.

Gather Professor Contact Information
Closed - This job posting has been filled.
Job Description
*Overview*: I would like a list built of all instructors in select humanities departments at Kenyon College.
More Details:
A department list for Kenyon College is available at http://www.kenyon.edu/academics/de
The specific departments I am interested in are here: http://pastebin.com/E2xT9GxM
For each of these departments, click on the webpage from the department list. From that page, there will be a link to the list of faculty in that department. For all the professors in that department, add their information to the spreadsheet. I want each professor's last name and first name in separate columns (first name column can include middle name), as well as their department (as in, the name of the department you are currently working on from the department list, or the subject listed in their title: "Professor of *English*"), their email address, and their title. Title will be something like "Professor", "Associate Professor", "Assistant Professor", "Instructor", "Lecturer", etc. If the title includes a name, please exclude the name i.e. "Thomas S. Turgeon Professor of Drama" should have a title of "Professor" and department of "Drama".
Also, include the URL from which you retrieved the information. URL should be the same for all professors in a department.
If you can't easily find the list of professors for a specific department, you can skip it. Please keep a list of which departments you skipped in a separate text file. If you can't find someone's title, then just leave it blank. If someone has a special role that seems interesting (for example, "department chair"), please add it in the Note column. I am *not* looking for secretaries/assistants in this list, though a department coordinator can be included. I don't want professors who are dead, or retired.
I have included an attached template spreadsheet to fill out. I have filled out the information for professors in the African Diaspora Studies department as an example.
Please make sure that there are no duplicate entries in the spreadsheet when you are done.

Alexandria boys' tennis: Cardinals fall to Tech
The Cardinal tennis team ran into a buzz saw in St. Cloud Tech last Thursday night as the Tigers completed a 7-0 sweep in Central Lakes Conference action.
The Tigers controlled every match, winning in straight sets at every spot. Alexandria's Jacob Strand and Payton Grandgenett and Nick Partington and Andrew Storm pushed Tech the hardest but still fell 6-2, 6-3 at second and third doubles, respectively.

Saving Episcia after Sandy
My house was out of power and heat for almost two weeks after Sandy hit, and while my other tropicals and Gesneriads weathered the cold temps and darkness OK, my poor Episcias were hit hard. I have four of them and they lost most or all of their leaves. The stems are still firm and I think the heat came back before they were fatally chilled, but I'm trying to figure out if they will recover.
If I cut them back and remove all the wilted leaves, will they regrow? How hard can they be cut back and still grow? Or is it too late for them and should I just find replacements?
It certainly will not hurt to try. If the stems are still firm the plant should rep sprout where the leaf joints are. If they don't over a period of time then toss them. Personally, I would not cut them back until I see growth starting. The plant has been stressed enough because of the conditions created by Sandy.
I had grown episcias in my greenhouse to night temps of 40 degrees with no ill effects. Episcias though are not cold tolerant for a long period of time. They are usually sensitive to temps 55 and under. It all depends on the variety. Some will withstand better than others.
Thanks. I did already cut some of them back, because those plants had lost all their leaves and looked totally shabby. Do you think a humidity dome would help them recover? Humidity levels are good in the house right now but I know they favor moisture.
Maybe you should start them over by taking cuttings. When mine get leggy, thats what I do. You might have a better plant faster...it will possibly take a while for your plants to recover. Humidity couldn't hurt. Good thing the rest of the plants are fairing okay.

Homeland Security:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Secure Border Initiative Fiscal Year 2009 Expenditure Plan
GAO-09-274R: Published: Apr 30, 2009. Publicly Released: Apr 30, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8816
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This letter formally transmits the summary of an oral briefing we gave in response to a mandate in the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009, and subsequent agency comments. This mandate required the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to prepare an expenditure plan that satisfied 12 specified conditions, and for the plan to be submitted to and approved by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees before the agency could obligate $400 million of the approximately $775 million appropriated for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) fencing, infrastructure, and technology. In response to this requirement, DHS submitted a plan on March 4, 2009, titled "U.S. Customs and Border Protection: Secure Border Initiative Border Security, Fencing, Infrastructure and Technology (BSFIT) Fiscal Year 2009 Expenditure Plan." As required by the act, we reviewed the plan and on March 12 and March 13, 2009, briefed staff of the Senate and House Appropriations Subcommittees, respectively, on the analysis of whether the plan satisfied the 12 specified legislative conditions.
In summary, we found that the expenditure plan did not fully satisfy all of the conditions set out by law. Specifically, three of the conditions were satisfied and nine were partially satisfied. Based on the results of our review, we are not making any recommendations for congressional consideration or agency action. In commenting on a draft of this report, DHS stated that it disagreed with our assessment of partially satisfied for three legislative conditions. Specifically, DHS said that we had not considered additional information not included in the plan that it provided that would support an assessment of these legislative conditions as satisfied. Because the legislative requirement required that the expenditure plan (emphasis added) contain information to address the legislative conditions, we limited our assessment to the information in the expenditure plan. Nevertheless, the additional information program officials provided during the course of our review added context, but would not have changed our assessments of these legislative conditions. In response to DHS's comments, we clarified our definitions of satisfied, partially satisfied and not satisfied to make it clear that we relied only on the expenditure plan in making our assessments.
