New technique could boost internet speeds tenfold
July 21, 2014
Researchers at Aalborg University, MIT and Caltech have developed a new mathematically-based technique that can boost internet data speeds by up to 10 times, by making the nodes of a network much smarter and more adaptable. The advance also vastly improves the security of data transmissions, and could find its way into 5G mobile networks, satellite communications and the Internet of Things.
The problem with TCP/IP
Data is sent over the internet in "packets," or small chunks of digital information. The exact format of the packets and the procedure for delivering them to their destination is described by a suite of protocols known as TCP/IP, or the internet protocol suite, designed in the early 70s.
Back when it was conceived, the internet protocol suite was a tremendous leap forward that revolutionized our paradigm for transmitting digital information. Remarkably, 40 years on, it still forms the backbone of the internet. However, despite all its merits, few would say that it is particularly efficient, secure or flexible.
For instance, in order for a TCP data transmission to be successful, the recipient needs to collect the packets in the exact order in which they were sent over. If even a single packet is lost for any reason, the protocol interprets this as a sign that the network is congested – the transmission speed is immediately halved, and from there it attempts to rise again only very slowly. This is ideal in some situations and terribly inefficient in others. The issue is that the protocol doesn't have the intelligence to know what the right thing to do is.
Also, although the packets could take a theoretically infinite number of paths to travel between point A and point B in a network, it turns out that data in a TCP connection always travels along the same path – which makes it quite easy for an eavesdropper to spy on your communications.
Network coding – the solution?
An interesting proposal that might offer the solution to these problems is so-called network coding, which aims to make each node in the network much smarter that it currently is. In TCP/IP, the nodes of the network are just simple switches that can only store data packets and then forward them to the next node along their predetermined route; by contrast, in network coding each node can elaborate packets as needed, for instance by re-routing or re-encoding them.
Adding intelligence at the node level may be a truly disruptive change, because it allows for unparalleled flexibility in the way information is handled. For instance, it can take advantage of multipath TCP (implemented in iOS 7) and, on top of it, add an encoding mechanism that further increases security and speed, or even enable data storage right within the nodes of the network.
In a recent study, a team of researchers from Aalborg University (Denmark), MIT and Caltech have built an implementation of just such a protocol, displaying some impressive speed gains. In a demo, a four minute-long mobile video was downloaded five times faster than with the state of the art technology, and was then streamed without interruptions.
"In experiments with our network coding of Internet traffic, equipment manufacturers experienced speeds that are five to 10 times faster than usual. And this technology can be used in satellite communication, mobile communication and regular internet communication from computers," says Prof. Frank Fitzek, who led the study.
How it works
Whether the contents of a packet are part of a YouTube video, a text or a song, they are nonetheless encoded by a string of zeros and ones, which can also be seen as a number in binary format.
In TCP/IP, the nodes of a network treat data packets individually by simply storing their content and relaying it to the next node. But in the protocol developed by Fitzek and colleagues, the content of the packet is seen as an actual number, and packets are processed in chunks. Each node builds a set of linear equations, using both the numbers extracted from the content of the packets and a set of randomly generated coefficients.
Each linear equation forms a "coded packet" where the coefficients are stored inside the coded packet's header, and the unknown variables are the actual contents of the packets, treated as a number. In other words, each coded packet contains partial information on several "standard" packets at once, but multiplied by different coefficients.
As you might remember from high school math, you need N linear equations to solve for N unknown variables. Because each coded packet contains a single equation, this means that the recipient will need N packets (with different coefficients) before it can decode the data.
But why go to the trouble of complicating things so much? The answer is that now, unlike with TCP/IP, the recipient doesn't need to receive packets in order. In fact, the order in which packets are received becomes completely irrelevant. All that matters is that the recipient obtains N coded packets, all with different coefficients, so it can solve the equations and obtain the original data.
This flexibility in the order means that the whole system is much more efficient, because all the packets are interchangeable. A lost packet is no longer cause for severe transmission delays as in TCP/IP.
And because the order doesn't matter, the packets can now travel along different paths through the network. This also increases security, because it becomes nearly impossible for anyone to intercept the communication by tapping into a single line.
What's next?
The technology could find application in 5G telecommunications, the Internet of Things, and software-defined networks. Moreover, the intelligence of the network also opens up the possibility of vastly distributed storage solutions directly within the network.
"I think the technology will be integrated in most products because it has some crucial and necessary functions," says Fitzek. "The only thing that can stop the development is patents. Previously, individual companies had a solid grip on patents for coding. But our approach is to make it as accessible as possible."

There was another project that was really interesting, the idea was to turn the whole interenet into a mesh network. I think maidsafe was the name of it.. Really interesting for further reading.asdf
What they describe is essentially forward error correction so packets do not need to be retransmitted but it adds overhead to the steam. FEC is already common on many of the lower level protocols that are in use but adding it to routers at the IP layer seems like a bit of a step back.
With IPv6 routers no longer perform packet fragmentation for instance because there is a need for them to be faster/dumber/ cheaper. Out of sequence packets are generally fine with TCP because the packets are each numbered for reassembly.
Data could be sped up essentially by rolling CDN functionality directly into the protocol (today it is mostly a feature bolted on to DNS). Hosts can be assigned a CDN node through DHCP option 82 and send reference it with their GET request, the server then points them to that CDN and the client reports performance statistics back to the centralized controller for monitoring. It saves the trouble of having to know the location of all the caching DNS servers doing lookups to guess which cluster to serve the client out of and you can always still just point the client request elsewhere if there a reason to (like degraded performance).
This wouldn't be terribly difficult to deploy into the protocol but I believe Verizon and some other people own patents that would prevent it. Thankfully some of those patents are nearing their lifespan.Daishi
GREAT—let me know how it works out for countries outside the US!
The notion that free market increasing competition and lowering prices in the US is a lie at the Big Corporation level. Look at other markets, like cable/data services. The companies don't compete against each other, they just quietly collude to set up fiefdoms around the country like a bunch of mini-monopolies, thereby keeping prices high and those huge bonuses coming in for the executives. There are HUNDREDS of examples of less gigantic companies (with less lawyers, resources and Congressional clout) where companies are found guilty of collusion (essentially conspiracy) and they just quietly pay their fines and then try and find another way to game the system. Monsanto and Japanese agribusiness chemical suppliers and recent flatscreen manufacturers come to mind—WE NEED STRONG WATCH DOGS TO PROTECT CONSUMERS—AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS NOT OWNED BY THE CORPORATIONS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO REGULATE.
According to Pulitzer Prize winner Investigative reporter David Cay Johnston, author of "The Fine Print.":
The Internet was invented in the U.S., but we've fallen behind other countries in terms of access and speed. Our service is more expensive than in any of those countries. Why? Wealthy corporations have worked the regulatory system to their advantage to their benefit so that the fees that banks and phone and cable companies have added over the years that have made your bills incrementally larger but have added up to big money for corporations.
Through various fees above the stated cost, in our phone bills, we've actually been paying, over the years, to create the cable network that provides Internet access and cable TV. We've paid, between cable company rate increases and telephone company rate increases, over a half-trillion dollars to get the Internet.
Per bit of information, we pay 38 TIMES what the Japanese pay. The US now rank 29th in the speed of our Internet, according to Pando Networks. We're way behind countries like Lithuania, Ukraine and Moldavia in the speed of our Internet.
American triple-play packages average about $160 a month, including fees. The same service in France is only $38 a month with an Internet that is 10 times faster uploading - downloading and 20 times faster uploading, with much broader international television stations than you get here.
Thanks to our donation/payola loving local, state and national elected officials, US consumer now dance to the tune of our corporations—NOT the other way around.
This country may have once been the envy of the world, it's a sad, corrupt place now.yrag
Bogus. Internet speed is constrained by switch processing power, not packet paths etc - this uses more switch processing - put this on a real internet, and the net result is going to be a 10x speed reduction. (it's a no-starter anyhow, the CALEA law makes this idea illegal to begin with).christopher
First false premise is that packets need to be received in order. This is not true for TCP. That's what the receive window is for. Packets can be received in any order within the window. Selective acknowledgements assist in efficiently requesting resends where a packet was actually dropped due to congestion.
This proposed method sounds like just another compression algorithm. It will also suffer from dropped packets. If it doesn't, it would have had to bloat out the payloads to provide redundancy. You can't get something for nothing.
As for storing data in the nodes.... well since the "node" is a router, I don't think that will happen any time soon.Adrien
@yrag people point out the cost of Internet in other countries mostly ignoring that a) the US has a much lower population density than most countries and b) most goods and services no matter what they are are generally more expensive in the US than around the world because its a different economy. Japan has 10x the population density of the US. The average household income in Ukraine is a fraction of what it is in the US.
It's true the executives are making too much money but that's also true of most public companies. After calculating for other factors like population density and economy I might still pay too much for Internet but the difference is likely a miniscule percentage of our yearly budget, its really amazing how much mental energy people spend complaining about it.
People pay half their income in taxes and still have to pay out of pocket for things like education, healthcare, and retirement. Middle class housing in some areas is anywhere from $250k to $1,000,000 and some people come out of college with 100k in student loans to pay back but what matters is the ~$180 you could save in a year by paying $15/month less for Internet access. If it was really that profitable more companies would be coming up with the money needed to enter the market or expand aggressively. There are a lot of costs associated with new deployments and it takes a long time to realize the investment of building out.
@christopher A half decent read is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6#Simplified_processing_by_routers Essentially things like packet fragmentation, checksum, and queue timers are removed from IPv4 to IPv6. Checksum was purposely removed because its a redundant function with lower layers of the IP stack. IPv6 also uses a simplified fixed length header. It's expensive to run routers with a lot of features and processing power when you mostly just need them to move a lot of data cheaply and efficiently.
There is a huge difference in cost/bit for optical transport hardware vs router hardware in part because transport can just dumbly push on the data without having to do computationally expensive work like reading packet headers along the way. Facebook, Google etc. are frustrated with router costs and have taken to rolling their own (SDN based) routing platforms to force down costs. Another example of this was the industry move from SONET based circuits to cheaper ethernet based circuits/hardware.
There are better solutions to the problem than this (like pushing content delivery storage closer to the edge). There also isn't much need to send an existing TCP packet flow over multiple physical paths because routers have thousands of data transfers at any given time and they can just load balance per flow to achieve utilization of another path without having to subject individual flows to jitter.
Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with new ideas and an outside the box look at the problem but I don't see it as a viable solution.Daishi
yrag is correct that we need watch dogs, but just dreaming to believe the bureaucrats will EVER not be "owned" by the industry. The corporation has the time and resources to focus on their particular regulators, while the poor consumer has to divide his attention among the bread, car tires, roof shingles, potatoes, shoes, and everything else needed/wanted for modern life. The regulate-everything mind set is how we got into our present situation.
The answer will be complex, but the principle is simple: limit the involvement of politics as much as possible.piperTom
If yrag can show me one example where govt. was not corrupt out of the last 10,000 years, I would not quote Einstein to him: "Doing the same thing over and over while hoping for a different result is insanity."
piper Tom: "... as much as possible ..." is correct. When people are willing to give up the worship of rulers, i.e., so-called leaders, as a viable social system, then we can begin to use the newly freed up market to provide security. It will quickly be realized that it was always "possible" to live a civilized life without being controlled, and be more prosperous.
We don't have to fear self-governance any more than free markets. You can't have one without the other.Don Duncan
Great, but the NSA would never allow it.Miles Marriott
Another thing they seem to have totally ignored - the quality of the connection. Actual physical connection is the limiting factor just about everywhere - for example, if you are at the end of a 7+ km very crappy coper line you are not going to get much more than a 1mbit connection, if, on the other hand, you are sitting on a t1 line then the sky is the limit. In the first case no matter what you do to the packets you are not going to get a faster connection, in fact the system described would most probably cause a SLOWER connection because of increased resends.ivan4
Re: yrag
No free lunch. You get cheap cars, fuel, food, guns and realestate. In exchange your population is baught.
Here in the land where cane toads and kangaroos outnumber people, you pay $10/kg for tomatoes, 700k for a crappy house, and $30k for a crappy small cars that we refuel at $1.7/l. In many ways we are also equally under the thunb of our government, but our food and water hasn't been compromised.
So take your pick.Nairda
All you tech guys confuse me. My nephew says I'm technically challenged. So, I don't know if this is an improvement over current systems or not. My question is this. So what if it is? You can have all this increase in data stream then it gets bogged down into old servers. AOL for instance. I think a better benifit to mankind is to out law routers/old servers. I switched to high speed access years ago but I can not control when my data goes through sites with old hardware. I agree with you on cable providers though. Tornado came through here a couple years ago, internet down for 2 weeks. Billed in full. Constant breakdowns from access yet always billed in full. There should be some type of regulation compariable to utility company to whereas, you don't use it, you don't pay for it. It's unrelegulated & we suffer for it.noteugene

WILKES-BARRE – The freedom of a man facing sexual assault charges in Luzerne County and Michigan was cut short Thursday.
David Zarn, 46, of Wright Township, was able to post 10 percent of a $50,000 bail amount – reduced from $100,000 Wednesday by Luzerne County Judge Lesa Gelb – and released from the county prison around 1 p.m.
But, prosecutors, who fought to have the bail amount remain the same at a hearing they were notified of after short notice Wednesday, successfully argued in court papers filed early Thursday to have Zarn returned to jail.
Then, county Judge David Lupas signed an order at 9:45 a.m. Thursday throwing out Gelb's bail reduction ruling and ordering Zarn to be held at the county prison without bail.
Zarn was back at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility later Thursday. Authorities from Michigan were scheduled to transport Zarn to Detroit today to face charges because Zarn waived an extradition hearing. But, Zarn's visit to Michigan won't happen until after a hearing scheduled for 8:45 a.m. Monday.
Zarn's attorney, Joseph Sklarosky Sr., filed a request to withdraw the waiver of the extradition hearing Thursday afternoon.
The bail issue began around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday when Sklarosky filed a petition requesting the bail reduction.
"David Zarn is innocent of all these charges both in Pennsylvania and Michigan and intends to vigorously defend against such false charges," Sklarosky wrote. Sklarosky stated the charges were "vicious and bogus."
Judge Thomas Burke scheduled a hearing for noon Wednesday before Gelb.
Prosecutors wrote in their Thursday filing that because the hearing was scheduled on such short notice, the prosecutor and detective in the case could not attend and prosecutors did not have time to respond to the filing.
First Assistant District Attorney Samuel Sanguedolce appeared at the hearing where he requested a continuance of the hearing, which was denied by Gelb. Gelb reduced Zarn's bail, imposing a number of conditions, and a bail bondsman was present to post Zarn's bail.
Sanguedolce and Deputy District Attorney Alexis Falvello wrote in their Thursday filing that Zarn faces a possible sentence of life in jail on the Michigan charges.
"Pursuant to Pennsylvania law, (Zarn) is not entitled to bail with respect to the extradition matter," the prosecutors wrote.
In a criminal complaint outlining the charges Zarn faces in Michigan included in the prosecutors filing, Zarn allegedly sexually assaulted two girls between 2002 and 2006 in Detroit.
Wright Township police and county detectives allege Zarn sexually assaulted the same two girls repeatedly, charging Zarn in October.

I was very unaware that there is mandated prenatal testing required by state ( i was told each state has different requirements)
I was told by my midwife that it is required in my state to have all STD testing performed. I have never heard of being forced to do any testing. this is my third pregnancy had testing with first (hospital birth) second had homebirth midwife (although still hospital birth) no testing other then iron and sugar. this is third I will be paying out of pocket for everything and I requested to only have the baseline CBC performed and I was told I can opt out of vaginal cultures and pap but I would have to have the STD testing drawn by blood then. So I was wondering if this is a midwife requirement CNM or really required by law. I would like to opt out of everything other then the CBC but when I mentioned she got very as a matter of fact it is a law and I cant opt out. opinions please?
I'm an board certified Ob-gyn and can attest that yes, it is probably a state mandate for public health reasons but speak to your midwife.

Wow. I live in Ohio and my OB specifically told me without my asking that I am free to decline any test.
I don't know where you live, OP, but I'm in Indiana, and they told me that while they *had* to *offer* the test, I was free to refuse. So I did. I think that would be really... peculiar that they would require it. I don't know, though.
Mama to DD (12.2005), DS1 (01.2009), DS2 (04.28.2013) with DH 04.10.13!!
Sorry I am in Florida any Floridian mamas out there that can input on this topic... thanks!
I'm in Florida. Your midwife has to offer, but you can still refuse, you just need to sign a refusal form so she has proof that she offered the test and you declined. I refuse all those kinds of tests, but my CNM did want me to have a HIV test, which I initially wanted to refuse (I know I'm -ve.) She then explained that its the only one she really likes all her mamas to get the first time they birth with her, as it is for her protections as well as mine & baby's. She does wear gloves, but the amount of blood and bodily fluids that are involved with birth would put her at risk if she had a +ve mama that she didn't know about, and that would then put other birthing mamas that delivered their babies around the same time at risk of infection too. I understood her reasons so consented to the HIV test, but we didn't get tested for any other STDs.

i did a search and no where can I find a required testing law for the state of Florida, I am a little concerned that my midwife immediatley lied when I brought up the fact I was opting out of extra testing, not sure how you can trust when you are being lied to from the start. I am not sure if I will be staying with her. But regardless, I will probably have all the basics testing done if i can afford. Does anyone have any idea what the cost out of pocket the testing will run me. thanks
"In 2005, the Florida legislature revised the statute regarding HIV testing of pregnant women (s.384.31, F.S.). The law eliminated the requirement for a separate HIV consent and the testing was broadened to include other STDs. Pregnant women must now be notified that they will be tested for HIV, syphilis, Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and hepatitis B (at the initial visit and 28-32 weeks) and that they have the right to refuse any or all tests. Women who opt out of testing must sign a statement of objection." (bolding mine)

Like the other moms said, she has to offer, you have the option to refuse.

...result, a bill from the testing co for over $700!!
The most expensive bit was the Vit D test, which was well over $200 of that total. They also tested my blood type and Rh factor, two things which I obviously know since I have had quite a few kids.
I would just ask for info on the specific tests available, and only have the ones done that I wanted.
Good luck!

Unemployment Rate Down
WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits has dipped by 2,000, evidence that layoffs are low and hiring will likely remain steady. Applications appear to have stabilized near the pre-recession levels reached in the late summer and are at a level consistent with solid hiring. The unemployment rate fell to a five-year low of 7 percent in November.

Can you tell exactly how long it will take you to stop in an emergency situation, how much distance you will need?
Nothing irritates me more than to have some idiot right on my bumper so close that he or she has can see the tiny scratch on the tailgate of my pickup. I just want to pull over and let them either drive by, or force them to stop. Don't they know this is not safe for me or for them? I know a guy who was just driving home in his neighborhood and a young girl behind him rammed him as he turned into his driveway because she was following too close. I know another guy who had to stop when a kid ran out in front of him and the man behind him plowed into him because HE was too close. But it's not just in town. I see people tailgating out on the highway! You've probably heard all kinds of stories about this. Can you give some advice?

ARMM execs say foreign donors upbeat on peace
COTABATO CITY—International aid groups, banks and humanitarian agencies are clinging to the prospects of a peace agreement between the government and Moro Islamic Liberation Front, according to the governor of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
Mujiv Hataman, ARMM governor, said development agencies of First World countries continued to hope for improved working relationship with the ARMM government in good governance, security, justice, peace, economic growth and poverty reduction.
Representatives of the foreign agencies relayed this message to him at a recent meeting in Makati, Hataman said.
Hataman quoted United Nations officials as saying UN agencies would maintain a presence in ARMM despite recent bombings in parts of Mindanao.
Laisa Masuhud Alamia, ARMM executive secretary, said the commitment shown by organizations like the USAID, AusAID, European Union and Japan International Cooperation Agency in helping ARMM would help the Philippine government fulfill its promises to the Moro people.
Alamia said executives of the World Bank and Asian Development Bank also promised to pursue programs for ARMM.
Baintan Adil-Ampatuan, executive director of the ARMM Regional Planning and Development Office, said bold steps taken by the regional government to institute reforms helped generate optimism among international organizations.
"Our strategic plan is primarily conceived to prepare ARMM for a smooth transition in time for its transformation into the Bangsamoro entity by 2015," Hataman said. Nash B. Maulana, Inquirer Mindanao

Surprised by Tuesday's primary results?
posted at 1/9/2008 1:15 PM ESTThat's great that you were out there all day and I admire your committment to your candidate. But you bring up the point that all those women, you don't mention men, came to the polls. They came there because they felt connected to her because of her "staged" crying episode the day before. There is not substance behind her, she pulled the wool over all of those women. How can you possibly be behind someone who breaks down that easily? And, before you go off blaming me for being a chauvenist, I am a woman. She claims she want to break the barriers and prove that she can be the first female president, then act like it. She's going to get a lot tougher questions thrown at her than how do you do your hair in the morning? I've never liked her, never like her lying, cheating husband either, but she really went over the top with this one.

Surprised by Tuesday's primary results?
posted at 1/9/2008 1:21 PM ESTI remember when I got out of College and went out to California for a period of time to "find myself." I had no idea what I was doing. I remember I got involved briefly with some entity {which turned out to be "crooked"} which sold photographs of some kind. The "owners'' would send young, attractive, people to grocery stores where they'd hand out tickets saying someone had "won a prize" of some kind. There'd be a phone number on the "winning ticket" which they could call to "claim it." WE were supposed to await these phone calls in a motel room and when we met with these people try an sell them some "scrapbook" or something. I forget exactly what................Anyway. The "sale" was built entirely on emotion. We were supposed to try an bring forth our "customers" feelings for family, Mom, apple pie, etc. etc. Apparently this "scam" {which I soon found out was a scam} was going on all over America.............except in New England. I asked the "perpetrators" why they were in California, the South, Midwest, far West....................almost every place but New England. They told me, "they don't buy it." I said, "what do you mean?" They said, "they won't go for all the emotional stuff and all the BS."...........................Was I surprised by what happened in New Hampshire? No. I live in Maine. They probably voted for Hillary because everyone said they should vote for Obama. Next time if they are told they should vote for Hillary then they'll vote for Obama. They don't care much about Camelot or whether Obama is black or whether Hillary is a woman, etc. etc. They'll do as they damn please. You gotta love it!!!!!

I'm not at all surprised by who won and lost. The reasons are covered in other posts.
But I want to comment on all the digs and snide remarks about Hillary Clinton's tears. I am not a Clinton partisan. My vote is undecided.
However, if I don't vote for Clinton it won't be because she cried a little. I believe her tears were real. All the carping and hostility and comments about "weakness" in other posts seems, frankly, paranoid, backward, stupid, and a bit inhuman.
I'll never forget the blank, untearful, completely unemotional face of President Bush when he sat in that classroom and heard the news of 9/11. Better a politician who wells up, who is ready to risk showing some emotion than an entitled idiot in the White House.

posted at 1/9/2008 1:29 PM EST
I think they like Kennedy's politics. I'm saying {frankly} that New Englander's are more cynical than the country at large. I don't think they were ready to coronate Obama because he's good looking, speaks well, has a cute family, is young, was endorsed by Oprah, etc.etc.etc. etc..........They didn't "buy it." They don't care.

posted at 1/9/2008 1:50 PM ESTYou may wish to go back and re-read the first paragraph of my comment. Again, it is as follows:Yesterday, we stood at the Fisk School in Salem NH holding our signs for Hillary. We stood from 6:30 am until the polls closed at 7:00 pm. We were honored and proud to be part of the legions of NH women and men who came out to cast their ballot for Hillary Clinton.Clearly, we owe a great debt of gratitude to both women and men for helping make this election the success that it is for Hillary. We stood shoulder to shoulder...please have no doubt about that!Thank you and......GO HILLARY!!!!!

>>Republicans promise to appoint "strict constructionist" judges and I know what that means.
Wait, let me see if I do too...
"Follow the Constitution"? That's what you meant, right?
Surprised by Tuesday's primary results?
posted at 1/9/2008 2:33 PM ESTSo the next President will be a woman or a black man...Anyone care to speculate on how long they'll last before they're assassinated and replaced by a white male Vice President? I doubt either candidate will have the guts to choose another minority as their running mate. I don't even know why the Republicans bother to have a candidate. After 8 years of Mr. War-Monger, white supremecist, Neo-Nazi Bush, they better resign themselves to a change...at least for a couple of months before the assassination.

Whatever. People in the Northeast are VERY independant people who are influenced far less by what is "cool" or "trendy" than other sections of the country. Whether in Maine, NH, Massachusetts or elsewhere New Englanders do not much care what people "think." They'll do what they think is right and don't really care what the "mob" is doing. That is one of the reasons I love New England besides the fact that it is one of the most beautiful places in the world.
By the way. Alot of these future primaries are exclusively "Democratic" primaries. In other words if you aren't a registered Democrat you can't participate. This bodes well for Hillary Clinton. Another thing. The Clinton political machine i.e.- money, operatives, etc. is a very formidable organization {just like the Kennedy political machine, or the Bush political machine}. They have boatloads of money and the best operatives in the business.
One more thing. Hillary Clinton is a "bulldog." She is as tough as they come................Obama has his work cut out for him. All I can say is, "good luck Barack."

About what? Who has time for all that tedious sh*t? I don't get into the Bush connection with Saudi Arabia and all that tripe either. Nor do I believe 9/11 was an inside job. I accept politics for what it is. There is nothing more boring than conspiracy theories. I believe Vince Foster committed suicide. It happens all the time.....................and no I don't want to read some 35 page treatise from the Nation magazine or the New Republic with some convoluted theory about how the Clinton's had Vince Foster murdered because he liked brown shoes instead of black shoes. I don't buy it.

They got together with Lucky Luciano {who was a bit old and thin} and asked if perhaps they could make Vince an offer he couldn't refuse. Apparently Vince refused which perturbed Lucky greatly. It was all about whether he liked cinnamon donuts or jelly donuts better. What people don't know is that Vince actually died from asphyxiation. An overdose of jelly donuts. He just couldn't get the words out.

I have a sense for New Hampshire having once lived there. I know the area above Concord and as far as White River Jct. Vt.
The results as well as the turnout were significant where those entering the race for the first time did very well. Certainly a win is one desired outcome, but so is a result as good as finishing second.
The demographics of the voters drew a significant contrast between the coastal area, and the interior sections where in Lebanon, Hanover, White Rive Jct. or an area growing in the highest top percentile of America, best demonstrated the power of diversity and the ambition of change before those that were voting for the first time. I believe that is a message that any candidtae welcomes. The voice and the vote of the people to want change, to participate in such change, and with the power of governance to make it a reality.
To say one candidate was favored or was given advantage over another as purely a demographical function, I think draws the race closer to its center of having to run the full course of every primary to draw any such conclusion. It is the diversity each candidate has to draw upon is the best reason the vote went as it did in NH.
In total, I am glad to see results that are not a 50/50 split where there is no conclusive winner. Or like that of a 3-way race, with just as close as a split result. I hope it is one of the best election years ever and so far I would be certain that it is. I like each of the candidates and am as excited to finally cast my vote next November.

My post was a response about Ron Paul and as the nation knows, Bush was elected by the people in 2004 however 2000 remains in question as to what took place in a state his brother governed.
I have not stated who I plan to vote for so I do not require a lecture on the Clinton legacy. Asa registered independent, my mind is not yet made up. I loved McCain in 2000 but have to wonder if at the age of 70, he can take on the pressures of a 4 year term. Barack Obama is charismatic, intelligent and a true gentleman who is running a classy campaign, thus far but feel he'll be better prepared to lead our country in 2012. John Edwards, in my opinion is too slick, too packaged.
My vote will be cast based on the candidate who I feel will strongly address illegal aliens, the war in Iraq, the weakened infrastructure of this country after 8 years of Bush, the health care system and work towards restoring America's once highly regarded reputation.

This article originally appeared on Dr. Mahaney's Pet-Lebrity News column on Pet360.com as Oscar Host Ellen DeGeneres Donates 200,000 Meals to Shelter Pets.
Oscar Host Ellen DeGeneres Donates 200,000 Meals to Shelter PetsWho doesn't love Ellen DeGeneres? She's the star of the incredibly successful The Ellen Show, hosted the Oscars on multiple occasions (including 2014), co-owns the high-quality Halo Purely for Pets food line, and is a outspoken advocate of animal welfare.
I have to give major kudos to DeGeneres for her role in helping better the lives of animals in need by facilitating food donations to shelters as part of this year's Oscar Swag Bag. Each year, the nominees for an Academy Award receive a free bag full of various luxury items totaling many thousands of dollar. This year's Swag Bags reportedly contain $80,000 worth of swag!
Instead of merely having the bags provide goods which may or may not be useful in the recipients' lives (according to Buzz60, there's "Hydroxycut weight-loss system, fancy maple syrup, and a home-spa system"…oh my), DeGeneres ups the philanthropy quotient by helping animals. Coincidentally, the most expensive item in the bag is actually a sizable donation of Halo pet food to a charity of the Swag Bag recipient's choice worth $6,100.
DeGeneres and Halo Purely for Pets partnered with FreeKibble.com so that the 20 Swag Bags given to the non-winning Academy Awards nominees contain a donation card providing 10,000 meals to shelter animals. A massive 200,000 meals will be dispensed to feed hungry canines and felines who otherwise may not have breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
According to Halo's VP of marketing communications David Yaskulka, "we know many celebrities are extremely generous. So we decided to gift them with something different that we think will mean a lot to them. We're looking forward to making those donations!"
More Like Ellen the Generous
Through the Halo Pet Foundation, Halo and DeGeneres of been consistently bettering the lives of animals in need. I am a big fan on the emphasis on education about responsible pet ownership that's integral in the foundations's mission statement:
The Halo Pet Foundation's mission is to enhance the well-being of pets and the people who love them. Inspired by our love for animals, we strive to help pets and their families live longer, happier, healthier lives together. Specifically, we seek to educate people on responsible pet ownership, eliminating animal abuse and reducing the overpopulation of uncared for pets.
Reportedly, DeGeneres' lifelong dream job was to become a veterinarian! Having taken a somewhat different and much more lucrative career path, Ellen certainly uses her celebrity for the good of all creatures. She states "pet adoption is something I'm extremely passionate about. I believe that by working together, we can find good homes for the millions of homeless and abandoned pets out there." Should Ellen ever want to experience the diverse practice of a holistic house call veterinarian, she can certainly ride along with me. Actually, some of my clients are also her fellow media pals (Jane Lynch, etc.).
I was slightly disappointed to see that animals didn't have a major a role as actors did in this years Academy Award contending movies. In 2012, I wrote for PetMD about Uggie, the canine star of "The Artist", and interviewed her trainer Sarah Clifford (see The Artist Showcases Uggie and His Considerable Canine Capabilities). That year, "The Artist" won Best Motion Picture of the Year and Uggie made a jovial appearance on the stage to help accept the award. I was fortunate enough to meet Uggie at the Humane Society of the United States 26th Genesis Awards (see Canine and Human Celebrities Rally for the Cause of Animal Welfare).
Thank you Ellen DeGeneres for being such a hilarious host and for improving the lives of shelter animals in one fell Oscar swoop.

Le Creuset
Why use a mortar and pestle? The friction of the mortar's rough ceramic interior against the grinding action of the pestle releases the full flavor of herbs and spices and changes the texture and consistency of pesto and other dishes. The unglazed interior is abrasive enough to effectively break down contents yet durable enough to withstand the friction of repeated grinding.

Fred T. Foard won a match-up of powerhouses in 2A and 3A softball on Thursday, knocking off defending CVAC champion Bandys, 2-1.
The Lady Tigers (2-0) were guided on the mound by a two-hit, 15-strikeout performance from Lexi Shubert.
Addison Bolick led Foard offensively. She drove in two runs on a double in the top of the fourth inning, scoring Mackenzie Dziendziel and Ashley Oliver, who had reached base on a walk and double, respectively.
"When we picked up those two runs, that was really big," said Foard coach David Shubert. "Addison had a couple of big hits."
Third-ranked Newton-Conover won a match-up on the tennis court of top-five teams, winning three singles and two doubles on its way to defeating No. 4 Salisbury, 5-3.
Micheal Ogden (S) def. Ryan Lampe 6-4, 6-3; John Tate (N-C) def. Alan Lebowitz 6-2, 6-4; Abraham Post (S) def. Tyler Barrymore 4-6, 6-3, 10-6; Hunter Nestor (N-C) def. Brock Overcash 6-4, 7-5; Jesse Gill (N-C) def. Clint Comadoll 6-3, 6-1; Shivam Desai (N-C) def. Chris Derrick 3-6, 6-1, 11-9.
A sinkhole near the baseball field at Hickory High School is causing the Red Tornadoes to move their home baseball games.
Hickory baseball coach David Craft said he was recently notified of the issue at the field.
"There was a problem with an area outside of the playing surface at our field," Craft said. "We've been notified that we are not to use our field."
Beverly Snowden, public information officer with Hickory Public Schools, said the issue was caused by an existing pipe.
There was no shortage of runs Wednesday between Fred T. Foard and Bunker Hill on the baseball diamond.
In spite of that offense, a wild pitch by the Bears' Justin Aiken allowed Foard's Jordan Fulbright to score, giving the Tigers an 11-10 win in Claremont.
"It was all heart," said Foard coach Channon Vogel. "These guys just fight and never give up. In our first game this year against Shelby, we were down three runs with two outs in the seventh inning. We came back and won that game. I knew if we stayed in this game, we'd find a way to win."
Behind a no-hitter thrown by pitcher Hannah Callahan, the Maiden girls softball team earned a 11-0 victory on the diamond against Lincolnton on Wednesday.
Emily Crouse led the Lady Blue Devils (1-0) offensively, going 2-3 from the plate with a pair of doubles.
Callahan struck out 10 Lincolnton batters and walked two in her no-hit performance.
Maiden plays again today at 6 p.m. when it travels to Ashbrook.

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
In this book, the first in English devoted exclusively to Maurice Blanchot, John Gregg examines the problematic interaction between the two forms of discourse, critical and fictional, that comprise this writer's hybrid oeuvre. The result is a lucid introduction to the thought of one of the most important figures on the French intellectual scene of the past half-century.
Gregg organizes his discussion around the notion of transgression, which Blanchot himself took over from Georges Bataille--most palpably in his interpretation of the myth of Orpheus--as a paradigm capable of accounting for the relationships that exist in the textual economies formed by author, work, and reader. Chapters on the critical work address such issues as Blanchot's ambivalent attitude toward the speculative dialectic of Hegelianism, his thematization of literature's involvement with death, and the mythical and Biblical figures he uses to portray the acts of reading and writing. Gregg also performs extended close readings of two representative works of fiction, Le Très-Haut and L'Attente l'oubli, in an effort to trace Blanchot's evolution as a creator of narratives and to ascertain how his fiction can be seen as constituting a mise en oeuvre of the concerns he treats in his criticism. The book concludes with an assessment of Blanchot's place in the recent history of French critical theory.

WCS School Board meeting notes:
Students lobby to retain volleyball
Members of the Warrensburg Central School Varsity Girls Volleyball team showed up March 8 at the school board meeting, protesting potential elimination of the high school's volleyball program.
Board members advised the players that no firm decisions on cutting any programs have yet been made. Hopefully every program and sport can stay as is, however with state aid dwindling, it may not be feasible to retain all programs while maintaining a zero tax increase.
High School Principal Doug Duell announced the summer basketball camp will be offered from June 28 to July 1 at the high school. The cost of the program is $45 if registered before May 1 and $50 afterwards. Contact the school for registration forms.
The High School musical this year is Evita, and will be presented March 25 through 27. Tickets can be purchased at the high school.
Elementary Principal Amy Langworthy announced that $1,400 was raised from the Scrapathon event to purchase equipment for the playground. She expressed thanks to all who attended this workshop and appreciation to Kim Ross for organizing the event.
Also announced was a $750 contribution by Stewart's Shops toward the Warrensburg Pride program. The next school board meeting is set for 7 p.m. April 19 in the high school library.
Bus Leasing vote passes easily
In a special election March 9, Warrensburg Central School District residents voted 241-53 to approve leasing three school buses over the next five years for an estimated cost of $48,000. There are about 4,000 eligible voters in the school district.
Leasing buses is expected to lower repair costs while putting newer, safer buses on the road, school officials have said. Also, leasing will eliminate the need to raise $300,000 annually from taxpayers to pay for the up-front expense of purchasing three buses, while waiting for 85 percent state reimbursement that is strung out over a five-year projected lifespan of the vehicles.

Help your call center agents focus on the right things
Agents face a daunting task in most contact centers. They're out on the front lines, often with minimal training, expected to be knowledgeable not only about the products and services they're meant to sell, but also about finding their way through the many different contact center applications and processes. Dozens of applications crowd the agents' desktop and knowing which application to access at what time can take months to master and can force your agent to focus on the systems, rather than on the customers. At the same time, the agents have to handle all inquiries from your customers as quickly and accurately as possible.
With the customer experience continuing to be a driving force in most contact centers, it's critical to simplify the contact center environment so that agents can become much more effective. One of North-America's largest operators estimated that by deploying a
unified desktop
for their agents, they would shave 17 seconds off their average handling time (AHT) and actually
save $12 million annually
while improving the customer experience.
Amdocs, a multiple-award winner for contact center solutions, can help your agents focus on the right things with the
Amdocs Smart Agent Desktop Solution
. Its smart guidance capabilities deliver context-sensitive advice during the actual call itself and a streamlined, process driven user interface guides the agent through the interaction.

The lowball world championship bracelet is among the most desired pieces of jewelry each year at the WSOP. The field that comes together for the 2-7 $10,000 world championship understands the purity of the game and the legacy of its previous champions. David Baker was one of those previous champions, as he emerged at age 23 onto the WSOP scene with his first bracelet win in this event. He had a chance to become ...

Getting Treatment
When back pain is severe, a visit to a primary-care doctor is a reasonable first step. A doctor can help rule out disease, such as infection or cancer, and refer a patient to a hands-on practitioner who might be covered by health insurance.
Using self-help approaches to ease the pain or seeing a chiropractor or physical therapist as a first step might be okay for a recurrent, familiar back problem. Research suggests that chiropractic manipulation can reduce acute low-back pain, and many, though certainly not all, of the respondents who tried it said it helped.
Use Caution with Surgery
If back pain is unrelenting and no other treatment has seemed to work, a doctor might suggest seeing a surgeon. Consumer Reports conducted a separate survey of almost 1,000 consumers who had back surgery in the past five years.
Those who had back surgery had tried nine to 10 treatments and described themselves as much more impaired by their pain than people with back problems who did not have surgery. Just 60 percent of the back-surgery respondents were completely or very satisfied with the results. But satisfaction depended on the diagnosis and the type of surgery. Those with degenerative disk disease (arthritis of the spine) were far less likely to be highly satisfied with surgery (54 percent) than those with a herniated disk (73 percent) or spinal stenosis (71 percent).
But not everyone does so well. More than 50 percent of respondents reported at least one problem with recovery, finding it lengthier and more painful than they had expected. The most common regret was that more post-surgery rehabilitation was n

UPDATE `company` SET `itnumber` = '595959' WHERE (id = 932)
So the value of itnumber is coming from user input for that company. I want to make sure I am able to prevent any kind of sql injection. So user inputs 595959 and I build that value as '595959' in the dynamic query. Is it still possible to have sql injection attack in this query? I am aware of using prepare statement to use to prevent sql injection, but prepare statement might take a lot of development efforts for my application, so I am looking for less time consuming and easier approach to fix most of my sql statements where injection is possible.

sb.append(" UPDATE ");

COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Danny Gater, at 18, is hardly the ŌĆ£kingŌĆØ of his own ŌĆ£castle,ŌĆØ but heŌĆÖs working on becoming the master of his domain and when it comes to his immediate goals, he plans to keep his ego in ŌĆ£checkŌĆØ and not ŌĆ£pawnŌĆØ his preparation off on anyone else.
The overabundance of chess terms is another way of saying that the Columbia City High School senior is preparing to return to the national stage in hopes of yet another chess trophy.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm studying and trying to improve,ŌĆØ said Gater Thursday afternoon while moving chess pieces at his dining room table.
ŌĆ£YouŌĆÖre not exactly trying to to trick them (the opponent), your just trying to make good moves and hope your opponent makes a mistake.ŌĆØ
Gater started playing chess in sixth grade and by the time he was a seventh grader he was studying and learning from a local chess master.
Earlier this year Gater placed first in the 12th grade and under division at the Scholastic Chess of IndianaŌĆÖs State Championship.
Next month he will compete in the National High School Championship tournament in the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashvill,e.
That tournament is held April 29-May 1.
ŌĆ£This is called a national tournament, but there is no single representative from each state,ŌĆØ said Laura Gater, DannyŌĆÖs mother. ŌĆ£It is open to all high school players.ŌĆØ
In December of last year, Gater competed at Orlando, Fla. in the National K-12 Championship.
ŌĆ£It was at DisneyŌĆÖs Coronado Springs Resort,ŌĆØ said Laura. ŌĆ£It is open to all kindergarten through 12th graders.ŌĆØ
His performance in Florida was stellar, although he said he came up short of the top prize.
ŌĆ£I won all the games I was supposed to win (five of seven matches), but lost to the higher-rated player,ŌĆØ he said.
In 2009, Gater competed in the Denker tournament in Indianapolis, the same tournament he will compete in at Orlando July 29-Aug. 3.
ŌĆ£Each state winner plays alongside his or her state flag,ŌĆØ said Laura.
In 2009, GaterŌĆÖs performance at this tournament netted him a $2,000 scholarship.
In all, Gater has garnered nearly 50 trophies, plaques and medals and also checkmated his way to a scholarship to the University of Texas-Dallas where according to Laura he hopes to play of the chess team.
The U.S. Chess Federation has Gater scored at 2,144. His goal is to achieve a ranking of 2,200, which is ŌĆ£masterŌĆØ status.
ŌĆ£The key is to make objectively good moves and to complicate the game to make more of a chance for your opponent to make a mistake,ŌĆØ he said.
