Interview: Technology in a bottle
What are your current research interests?
We work in the area of molecular electronics - making perfect electronic circuits that are macromolecular in dimension. In addition, we can make superconductors and thermoelectrics. A thermoelectric converts a temperature difference into a voltage - like an engine with no moving parts or it does the reverse and acts as a coolant. It turns out that solid-state thermoelectrics have limited uses because they aren't very efficient. If you could make them efficient then the rewards are amazing. We have made materials from oxygen and silicon that are close to the world record for thermoelectrics. These could be used in energy recovery systems in computer chips so wasted energy could be recycled.
I also work with cancer. Our goal is to translate molecular network models of cancer that describe how the disease evolves into tools that can be used in the clinic. We want to be able to do 1000 measurements from a finger prick of blood and at a fraction of a penny per measurement. We have made devices that are used by clinicians but it will be a similar advance as for computer chips. Right now, we can take a finger prick of blood and in a few minutes we do about 20 measurements and we ought to be able to do 40 next year. Our devices have no moving parts, they are made of just glass and plastic, because we want them to be practically free.
These two projects aim to tackle at least pieces of major global problems - energy and world healthcare.

Picture: Emma Watson The National Movie Awards held at the Royal festival Hall - Arrivals London, England - 08.09.08
A falconer who supplied birds of prey for the Harry Potter franchise is behind bars in the U.K. after pleading guilty to neglect.
Kenneth Lea was jailed for 12 weeks on 17 charges involving more than 51 specialist birds at his farm in Bradford, England.
The 50-year-old came to the attention of the courts after officials the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) were tipped off about the "filthy" conditions.
The birds, including owls, falcons and hawks were emaciated and plastered in blood and dirt.
Lea provided nine of the creatures for use in several scenes of 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
Afghan women: the fight for survival
06 Feb 2013 22:31 GMT | Sport, Football, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Mali
Rank outsiders Burkina Faso will face Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations final after a 3-2 penalty shootout win over Ghana on Wednesday.Ghana's Udinese midfielder Emmanuel Agyeman Badu had his effort saved by Daouda Diakite after earlier misses by teammates Isaac Vorsah and Emmanuel Clottey.Bakary Kone, Henri Traore and Aristide Bance converted their chances to continue the fairy-tale run of a team that had turned up in South Africa with the modest ambition of ending a 17-match winless Nations Cup run.Now they find themselves meeting Nigeria, 4-1 winners over Mali earlier, for a shot at becoming kings of Africa.The spot-kick climax was called for after the two teams were inseparable at 1-1 in a thrilling semi-final, with Bance's second-half goal cancelling out Mubarak Wakaso's early penalty.The Burkinabe were deserved winners after almost coming unstuck by a series of strange decisions against them by Tunisian referee Slim Jdidi.Chief among them was a legitimate penalty claim turned down, and a goal disallowed.Jdidi wrongly waved away claims for an early spot-kick when John Boye barged into Jonathan Pitroipa, knocking his Rennes teammate unceremoniously to the much maligned Mbombela Stadium turf.But on 13 minutes the referee had no hesitation in giving Ghana a penalty after an innocuous tangle involving Mady Panandetiguiri and Christian Atsu.
Wakaso stepped up to convert past Daouda Diakite, for his fourth goal of the competition.The penalty dramas sandwiched an unscripted substitution for Ghana, with Solomon Asante coming on for John Paintsil, stretchered off with a right thigh injury.
Bance in his step
Burkina were giving as good as they got in attack, but would have to find a way to trouble Ghana keeper Fatawu Dauda in the second half if they were to make it to Soweto on Sunday.Burkina Faso's athletic striker Bance was looking dangerous every time he got the ball.On 52 minutes Dauda produced a superb save off the Augsburg attacker's header when he grabbed the ball from underneath the crossbar, Jdidi on this occasion getting it absolutely right, much to the Burkinabe fans' displeasure.Down at the other end, Gyan hit Diakite's woodwork.On the hour, Burkina got the equaliser their endeavour deserved, Bance, coolly firing past Dauda.Burkina's Dynamo Bucharest defender Paul Koulibaly was fortunate to escape with just a yellow after lashing out with his boot at a delicate part of Gyan's body.Diakite kept Ghana at bay with a diving save to deny Atsu's attempt to send the game into extra time, which was only minutes old when he tipped over a shot from Harrison Afful.Bance had his yellow spaghetti-mop hair in his hands on 102 minutes when clear on goal only to shoot high.Jdidi made another strange decision against Burkina Faso when disallowing Prejuce Nakoulma's goal after a minor clash with Kwadwo Asamoah.Pitroipa was harshly sent off on 117 minutes for picking up his second booking of the night, for diving, after he had, in fact, been felled. He misses Sunday's final.Dauda produced a series of fine saves to keep Ghana in business, but with the crowd almost to a man on their side, Burkina held their nerve to book an improbable date at Soweto's Soccer City

7 Reasons To Be Optimistic About America's Future
Although studies show that: we conservatives are usually happier and more optimistic than most about our personal lives, we also tend to be a bit more pessimistic than the average person about the country. We look at our unsustainable level of spending, the dramatically expanding, increasingly lawless welfare state, encouragement of tribalism and class hatred as a political tactic, hostility towards Christianity, schools that teach socialism and liberalism, the morally bankrupt entertainment industry and the reelection of a man who may have had the single worst performance as President of anyone in our nation's history and we quite naturally fear for the future of our country. This is appropriate and anyone who tells you that our nation isn't in serious jeopardy right now is either ignorant or lying to you. Yet and still, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about this country's future.
1) The reelection of Barack Obama has the potential to be a turning point.: Despite Barack Obama being a mean-spirited, habitually dishonest socialist who was presiding over a terrible economy and a record of incompetence unprecedented in America's history, he was reelected anyway. This should be a wake-up call for the Republican Party. The GOP's messaging, choice of candidates, fidelity to its principles and most importantly, minority outreach just isn't good enough. The same goes for results the deep pocketed donors in the party are getting for their contributions. Their money isn't being used wisely. The grassroots have now been alerted that just showing up at a Tea Party isn't good enough either. Social conservatives and the Christian church should be shocked out of their complacency as well. Although Obama seems likely to make a mess of things in his second term, that will give the American people more insight into the wages of liberalism while the Republican majority in the House and the three conservatives and two right leaning moderates on the Supreme Court will hopefully keep Obama from doing too much damage. God willing, as terrible as Barack Obama's election seems to be for the country today, it will turn out to be a positive turning point.
2) Technology and resource acquisition may advance faster than we anticipate.: Did you know the United States is the Saudi Arabia of shale oil? We have the: potential not just to become almost self-sufficient, but to become a net exporter of oil. Granted, that probably won't happen under the liberal Luddites in the White House today, but it's just a matter of time until this nation's energy potential is unlocked. We could also conceivably pass Russia in natural gas production as early as 2015. When you couple that with technological advances right out of science fiction in: 3D printing, algae based fuel, nearly cost-free medical diagnostics, vertical farming and robotics,we may have the ability to do better than most people expect over the next few decades.
3) We're in a stronger position than many people realize.: America still has the world's largest economy and the most powerful military. The dollar is the world's reserve currency; we're still the single most attractive destination for immigrants and we have the world's best customer base for other nations to target. We have more soft power and cultural influence than any other nation in the world and we're still the planet's only Super Power. Weaknesses? We have plenty, but we shouldn't disregard our nation's truly massive strengths.
4) We may move slowly, but we will eventually adjust.: What Winston Churchill said about Americans is all too often true,: "Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing…after they have exhausted all other possibilities.": As a nation, we have a terrible habit of waiting until a crisis strikes before we take decisive, albeit poorly-thought-out action to deal with it. Then over time, we get around to dealing with the devils in the details. In other words, we tend to take a lot of damage that could have been prevented with quicker action, but history shows that we do eventually address our problems.
5) There's no other nation ready to take our place as a Super Power.Japan's population has gotten very old, very fast. Western Europe has larger problems with big government, economic productivity, demographics and debt than we do. China is still growing, but the country looks increasingly unstable and seems highly unlikely to continue its rapid growth over the next few decades. Additionally, Russia and India seem likely to remain as regional powers for the foreseeable future. In other words, this isn't the Cold War where our loss would mean that another great power would be waiting to step in and shove us aside. Losing our Super Power status would be far from ideal, but it would still be preferable to living in a world dominated by Russia, China or Europe.
6) We've been through bad times before and we're still here.: This country has survived a Revolutionary War against the world's most powerful nation that was fought in our own territory, another fight against the Brits during the War of 1812 in which they burned the White House and came close to capturing the American northeast, a Civil War that pitted the northern and southern halves of the country against each other, not just one, but two world wars, a decade long Great Depression and a Cold War against the Soviet Union in which we had enough nuclear weapons pointed at each other to wipe out life on earth. After all that, we're still standing strong. A debt driven crisis could make things very tough for us over the next few decades, but our history says we'll pull ourselves up by our bootstraps when it's over.
7) The wheels of history turn awfully slowly.: Since history is such a long period of time and we human beings live such comparatively short lives, we often overestimate the speed with which a problem will overtake us. As to great nations, they can splutter on for an extraordinarily lengthy time before finally falling to pieces. Just to name the most famous example of this, Rome was founded in the 8th Century BC, became a republic in the 6th Century BC, ceased to be a republic in the 1st Century BC, and split into two halves in the 3rd Century AD. The Western half of the Roman Empire was overrun in the 5th Century AD, the last Roman emperor visited Rome in the 7th Century AD, and the Eastern Roman Empire finally fell to the Turks in the 15th Century AD. Does that mean the United States should be fine for another thousand years or so? No, but it means that devastating problems we spot today that look immediately threatening may sometimes take decades or even centuries longer than we expect to flower into devastation.

A White Paper from the Experts A White Paper from the Experts in Business-Critical Continuity in Business-Critical Continuity High Availability Power Alteratives for High Availability Power Alternatives for Cisco Catalyst 4500 PoE Applicatios Cisco 4500 PoE Applications LOGO Introduction The Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series of switches is a highly versatile, chassis-based, intelligent switching platform that provides control and resiliency for converged networks (voice, video, and data). The platform is designed for LAN access, branch offices, Layer 3 distribution points, small and medium-sized businesses, and metropolitan (metro) Ethernet deployments. especially reliable power, is often not available. In addition, the user may not be familiar with the infrastructure requirements for high system availability. A successful deployment of the Cisco Catalyst 4500 requires simplicity of system components selection, a plug-and-play capability, ease-of-operation, and scalability for future upgrades for all system components (Cisco Catalyst 4500 and external power for phones and other PoE devices). Applications The primary function of the Cisco Catalyst 4500 is to provide network interface and switching for data and Internet Telephony (VoIP). The application is intended mainly for small-to-medium businesses, but could be and is used in large Enterprise application in a campus environment and wherever multiple sites are involved. Several deployment scenarios are possible: data only, voice/data and voice/data plus Power over Ethernet (PoE). Product Structure and Scalability The Cisco Catalyst 4500 platform consists of four (4) chassis options with a variable number of slots for line cards and a set of supervisor engines delivering up to 136 Gbps of Layer 2-4 switching. This allows for scalable growth of the application by inserting line cards as needed or to migrate to a larger chassis (user can reuse existing line cards and power supplies). There are a variety of line cards (with or without PoE) that can be used within the chassis, dependant on the desired functionality. Power for the chassis is provided via several power supply configurations insertable into two bays at the top of the chassis. Please refer to Figure 1 for Cisco Catalyst 4500 selected technical data Deployment Environment The Cisco Catalyst 4500 is typically installed in 19-inch mount EIA standard cabinet (provided by others) and is typically located in Telco closets and/or Telco equipment rooms. In the Telco closets, space is at a premium and the facility infrastructure, 2 Catalyst 4510R Catalyst 4507R Catalyst 4506 Cisco® Catalyst® 4503 • Single Supervision • 96 10/100/1000 • 7 RU • 28 Gbps Backplane • Single Supervision • 240 10/100/1000 • 10 RU • 64 Gbps Backplane • Reliability Option: Redundant Supervisor • 240 10/100/1000 • 11 RU • 68 Gbps Backplane • Reliability Option: Redundant Supervisor • 33610/100/1000 • 14 RU • 96 Gbps Backplane Chassis No. of Slots for line cards 2 5 5 8 Mounting Standard 19" front Std Std Std Std Mounting Optional 23" front Opt Opt Opt Opt Rack Space U 7 10 11 14 Depth (Inches) 12.5 12.5 12.5 12.5 Chassis Weight Only 31 lbs (14 kG) 41 lbs ( (18 kG) 44 lbs (20 kg) 52 lbs (23kg) 4503 4506 4507R 4510R Environmental Operating temp - 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C) Humidity 10 to 90% non-condensing Operating altitude - 60-2000m Air Flow Power supplies (two slots on upper shelf) front to back Chassis - side to side Figure 1. Cisco Catalyst Selected Technical Data 3 Power over Ethernet (PoE) The Cisco Catalyst 4500 product platform includes line cards supporting PoE. PoE is a mechanism of delivering operating power to the network device via standard Category 5 Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for powering a device from a wall receptacle. With PoE, the PD (power device such as phone, security camera, etc) receives the power in conjunction with data directly from the Ethernet port in the wall. This greatly increases the portability of the network devices. The PoE application is controlled by IEEE 802.3af standard adopted internationally in June 2003 (first universally adopted power standard). The standard classifies PDs (Powered Devices) in several categories dependant on the maximum power requirement. The maximum power level today is for a Class 3 device requiring 15.4W at -48VDC per port (default level is Class 0 device - same power level as Class 3). Please note that a typical phone may consume only 7 W/port. Since the user cannot effectively control what device is plugged into the port, Cisco recommends that all ports be rated at a maximum of 15.4W. PoE introduces -48VDC power into the Enterprise space. In larger network applications, PoE consumption can be up to 6 times the power needed for a data only network environment. PoE is inserted into the network at the Cisco Catalyst 4500 switch via a line card and is delivered from the switch's power supply. Redundancy in Cisco Catalyst 4500 Platform System availability is a major concern in converged network applications. The desired level of system availability is five nines or 99.999% reliability (matching traditional telephone service). This means that every critical component of the converged network must meet at least five nines of availability criteria (this applies to the power delivery system - both external power and embedded power supplies). Integrated resiliency enhancements offered in the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series include 1+1 supervisor-engine redundancy (Cisco Catalyst 4507R and 4510R), redundant fans, software-based fault tolerance, and 1+1 power supply redundancy. High availability of the external power to the switch is the responsibility of the user. Cisco recommends a fault tolerant back-up system (UPS or DC) and redundant power supplies for HA (high availability) deployments. Power Supply Options for Cisco Catalyst 4500 The power supplies Cisco currently offers for Cisco Catalyst 4500 platform are shown in Figure 2. Figure 3 shows the maximum number of different PoE devices that can be used with a given power supply in a redundant or capacity (combined) mode. Figure 4 shows the maximum number of Class 3 devices that can be used with a given power supply in a redundant mode. 4 1000 WAC 1300 WAC 1400 WAC 2800 WACV 1400 WDC with PEM External AC Power Shelf 2500W 1400 WDC Triple Input 1300WAC - power for data and PoE 1400WAC - power for data only 2800WAC - power for data and PoE 4200W AC - power for data and PoE available Q3, 2005 • External AC Power Shelf with 2X2500W AC power supplies - power for data and PoE for larger number of users (two shelves are required for larger applications) • • • • External AC Power Shelf • 1400WDC - power for data only (triple input) - for service providers • 1400WDC-P - Power for data and PoE Figure 2.

Each line card can support up to 48 ports 2. Due to efficiency loss, the Class 3 single-port power at the input to the Cisco Catalyst 4500 is 17.3W. 3. 1400WDC-P power supply includes an internal bypass for PoE power and can service all Cisco Catalyst 4500 configurations. It must always be used with external Power Shelf or DC plant. Figure 4. Cisco Catalyst 4500 PoE Power Supply Capabilities Matrix-Redundant Power Supply Mode Cisco recommends that a PoE system be designed for the maximum number of expected PoE ports with redundant power supplies. If power supplies are used in a combined mode (capacity) and one fails or if the user oversubscribes the PoE (plugs in too many PDs), the power supply shuts down and the system goes down until the situation is corrected. This puts a burden of properly selecting power supplies on the user and requires continuous power management. In order to fully utilize the capacity of the Cisco Catalyst 4500, and the only option, beyond 190 PoE ports, (384 is the limit) is to employ the 1400W DC-P power supply with an External AC Power Shelf (and UPS as a back-up) for AC application or the 1400W DC-P Power Supply with an external AC Powered, DC UPS system. If the power supply and the external power back-up system are not selected properly at the initial deployment, future growth of the system will require replacement of the power system (at additional expense and loss of the initial investment). To take advantage of the scalability of the Cisco Catalyst 4500, the user should select the maximum power supply and UPS for the maximum expected system size. However, a better alternative is to use the 1400W DC-P power supply and an external AC powered, DC UPS. This solution offers scalable growth of power to maximize the Cisco Catalyst 4500 platform capability without the risk of under-sizing the system at the initial deployment and with minimum up front investment. 7 External Power Consideration for Cisco Catalyst 4500 To achieve high availability and avoid PoE oversubscription, Cisco recommends the use of redundant power supplies as well as an external power back-up system for the Cisco Catalyst 4500 applications. There are several deployment scenarios for the external power system. Figure 5 shows the external power back-up alternatives for the Cisco Catalyst 4500 applications with up to 202 Class 3 ports (190 ports for Cisco Catalyst 4510R). The limitations of the AC power supplies ability to power PoE (regardless of chassis size) in a redundant mode are as follows: • 1300WAC - max number of Class 3 PoE ports - 46 • 2800WAC - max number of Class 3 PoE ports - 80 • 4200WAC* - max number of Class 3 PoE ports - 202 for 4507R chassis, 190 for 4510R *NOTE: Scheduled for release by Cisco 4QT05 Figure 5. AC and DC Power Concept for Catalyst 4500 8 Possible Scenarios for External Back-up Time A. Site is already equipped with an existing UPS. The UPS protected AC power can be delivered to the Cisco Catalyst 4500 location. Dependant on the cabling distance, this option may not be the most cost effective solution and the power availability is dependant on the quality of the existing system. B. Single UPS. The UPS should be sized up front for the ultimate application to preserve the initial investment and provide for future system growth. This also includes AC service size and careful consideration for the back-up time. True on-line, double conversion UPS is the preferred solution (best load protection versus other UPS types). A maintenance bypass is highly recommended with the UPS to allow a quick resumption of service in case of UPS failure and allow for maintenance actions without disruption of service. Scenario B offers the lowest system availability as it may present a single point failure in the power delivery system. C. Redundant UPS. Utilizing redundant UPS greatly enhances power availability. However, it can substantially increase the overall cost. UPS size selection considerations are the same as for a single UPS. D. AC powered DC UPS with 1400WDC-P power supplies. The 1400WDC-P power supply (with DC UPS) can support the maximum number of Class 3, PoE ports within the Cisco Catalyst 4500 platform. Therefore, this configuration has no growth limitations. An external AC-powered DC UPS offers the highest availability and flexibility. It provides for redundancy, scalability and minimizes the number of system components. Figure 6 shows the external back-up power alternatives for the Cisco Catalyst 4500 deployment with more than 190 ports. In this case, a 1400W DC-P power supply must be used as follows: A. AC Solution. External AC Power Shelf (2) with four 2500WAC power supplies must be added to provide AC power to the 1400WDC-P power supplies. The AC power shelves require additional space in the cabinet. As in the previous case, either a single UPS or redundant UPS can be deployed to power the AC shelves. The UPS should be sized to supply 7500W plus the efficiency loss of the External AC power shelf. At the maximum, the redundant configurations with two external power shelves fully populated can support 364 PoE ports (maximum capability of the Cisco Catalyst 4510 chassis is 384 ports). B. DC Solution. No external power shelves are required. The 1400WDC-P power supplies are powered directly from the AC power, DC UPS (as in previously discussed case (Figure 5). The only difference is the number of DC power modules needed to support a given number of PoE ports (all 384 PoE ports can be supported). 9 In summary, DC solutions are transparent to any Cisco Catalyst 4500 application and can use (1400WDC-P) (redundant mode) power supply for all Cisco Catalyst 4500 configurations. Battery Back-up Time Considerations Listed below are some considerations for the battery back-up selection. 1. Criticality of the network to the business operation. 2. Is there an existing generator backup on site and how easy it is to incorporate the Cisco Catalyst 4500 into existing critical power system (length of cables, complexity of infrastructure changes, etc). 3. Ease and speed of power restoration in case of site-induced failures (to minimize system downtime). 4. Future growth requirements. 5. Cooling at the point of use. For the high availability application, the best strategy is to provide a separate back-up system at the point of use of the switch, thus isolating the application from the rest of the electrical system. Typical back-up times recommended by Cisco are 1-2 hrs. This time should be sufficient to ride through most of the utility glitches and to correct any problems within the site electrical system without a network shutdown. Some applications (Government, critical processes, etc) require much longer back-up times - up to 8 hrs. or more. Figure 6. Comparison of AC and DC Power System Solutions for Critical Networks – Cisco Catalyst 4510 with Redundant Power Supplies 10 The AC powered DC UPS Alternative A solution that solves many of the issues an Enterprise customer will face when deploying Cisco Catalyst 4500 with fully populated line cards up to 384 PoE ports. The AC powered DC UPS offers significant benefits/advantages to the Cisco Catalyst 4500 series user by combining the adaptive power architecture of the DC solution with an innovative package for a simple plug-and-play deployment. The system is comprised of pre-packaged discrete building blocks determined by the customer's requirements, which drives the optimal system for a specific business application. 1. Correlates to customer business goals. 2. Allows for maximum system flexibility and scalability (matches Cisco scalability approach and hardware configurations). 3. Matches Cisco availability goals. 4. Provides for the lowest cost of total ownership. The AC powered DC UPS Concept A totally pre-wired, self-contained 19" EIA cabinet including an AC powered, DC UPS, with batteries, space for the Cisco Catalyst 4500, cabling and accessories for a plug-and-play installation including the following: 1. All major components are from a standard Emerson Network Power portfolio. 2. DC power modules. 3. Batteries 4. Single AC input interface (with internal TVSS), or multiple receptacles for scalable growth 5. Monitoring (SNMP and web based) compatible with existing Emerson Network Power systems. 6. Scalable input power, output power and battery back up. 7. Optional battery monitoring system. 8. Optional UPS to support Cisco IP Communication Servers (Call Manager, etc.) 9. Easy to configure and grow. Product Configurations for Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Three different power capacities are provided: • Enterprise IP 4500 - Up to 4500W of redundant power (Figure 7) • Enterprise IP 6000 - Up to 6000W of redundant power (Figure 8) • Enterprise IP 15000 - Up to 15000W of redundant power (Figure 9) 11 Battery Ah Approx Reserve Space for OEM Time Equipment (U) 1 Shelf 2 Shelves Min Min 105 125 30 40 75 90 27 27 155 60 Note 1 120 Note 1 27 Notes: 1.

Enterprise IP 15000 - Frame 3 14 All Enterprise IP frames are provisioned (wired) for their maximum power (max power of Cisco Catalyst 4510 in case of Frame 3) including two battery trays and cabling to Cisco 1400WDC power supplies. An integrated AC box with internal AC prewired distribution is provided for contractor connection. The middle space in the cabinet is allocated for the Cisco Catalyst 4500 switch (installed on site by others). Vertical troughs for "dressing" the Ethernet cables to the Cisco Catalyst 4500 are available on each side of the cabinet in front and to the side of equipment. • Frame 3 (Enterprise IP 15000) in a redundant configuration can support all Cisco Catalyst 4500 configurations or multiple 4500 Catalyst chassis in a closet. Each frame size can be populated with a desired number of DC power modules for the initial deployment and are easily scalable (by inserting additional power modules) up to its maximum rating without a system shutdown. Typical available battery back-up times for various power levels are shown in (Figure 10). System Features and Benefits 1. Availability. All frames are offered in a redundant configuration, (n+1), that provides for .999999 or better availability (assuming 24-Hr MTTR). System availability can be enhanced further by adding DC power modules for (n+2) configurations. In all instances the availability exceeds Cisco's recommendations. Battery reliability is also increased as fewer cells are used than in a comparable AC UPS solution. 2. Operation Under Failures. The Enterprise IP AC powered DC UPS features a distributed intelligence, which means that no single module failure (power module, controller) will affect the power flow. Even in the unlikely case of multiple module failures, the system will continue to supply power for a prolonged time period (many hours) thus increasing the time window for repair (module replacement). All components are hot pluggable and user replaceable in 30 seconds. System Selection The Enterprise IP, AC powered DC UPS is always used with the Cisco 1400W DC-P power supplies (redundant). This vastly simplifies the Cisco power supply selection process. Cisco 1400W-P DC power supplies provide sufficient power for all Cisco Catalyst 4500 configurations.

The calculation includes the maximum possible configuration (chassis power + Supervisory Engine (s) power +power for full complement of 10/100/1000 PoE line cards Figure 10. Selecting Network Power System Configuration for Cisco Catalyst 4500 Based on Redundant (n+1) Configuration 16 3. Operation Under Overload. This situation can happen if the PoE power is oversubscribed (not enough power modules to support the load) or in the case of severe (multiple) failure modes. If power modules remaining on line cannot support the load requirement, the battery will support the overload for a period of time thus allowing problem correction without system shutdown. 4. Efficiency. The system architecture and application eliminates the need for Cisco External AC Power Shelves. This significantly improves overall efficiency of the power train while reducing heat rejected into the closet. This characteristic is especially evident during power outages (battery operation). The heat rejection of an AC powered DC UPS can be less than half of a comparable AC UPS solution, which means longer operation before the temperature shutdown point is reached… improved availability. In addition, energy costs can be 20-40% lower than in comparable AC UPS solution. 5. Footprint. The integrated cabinet design optimizes the footprint for a total solution. All equipment (including Cisco Catalyst 4500 switch) is located in a single enclosure. Enclosure dimensions allow for side-side airflow required by the Cisco Catalyst 4500 switches. 6. Installation, Scalability, and Field Upgrades. The Enterprise IP AC-powered DC UPS is designed for ease of installation. The user provides an appropriately sized AC connection (single or multiple feeds) and installs the Cisco Catalyst 4500 chassis in the allocated space. The system is pre-wired at the maximum power rating. As the need for PoE ports increases, the user simply adds hot pluggable power modules and batteries, regardless of the Cisco Catalyst 4500 chassis selection. 7. Safety. The AC (high voltage) input(s) to the cabinet is terminated in a completely enclosed AC termination box .The internal power distribution to the Cisco Catalyst 4500 is at a low, safe voltage level (less than 60V). Safe voltage levels at Cisco Catalyst 4500 allow servicing of the switch without powering the system down. 8. Spare Parts. Utilizing a single Cisco power supply and the same DC power modules for all Cisco Catalyst 4500 chassis' minimizes the spare part requirement for a multi-closet or multisite deployment in a large Enterprise application. 9. Cost Savings. By employing the Enterprise IP AC powered DC UPS, the use of the external AC Power Shelves can be eliminated, which will result in cost and space savings to the user. When comparing total AC to DC power solution costs, the difference between the Cisco power supply costs should be taken into account. 17 10. Integrated cabinet. Design offers quality and consistency. • Properly sized components for initial and future application. • Ease of installation. • Scalable. • Well-documented, consistent implementation. • Minimum spare parts in multi-site deployment. • Ease of maintenance and troubleshooting. • Extensive monitoring. • Backed by industry's largest service organization. 11. Monitoring. Extensive monitoring capability (both local and remote) is provided. • Programmable relay contacts • SNMP • Web (HTML) - embedded web browser (HTTP) - allows remote system programming * Monitored parameters include detailed system status, temperature, voltages, power consumption, programmable external alarms, etc. • Optional battery monitoring features battery status and failure prediction. • Monitoring can be used for a standalone system or incorporated into an existing site monitoring system. • Interface via RJ-45 and RS 232 ports Applicable Standards: IEEE 802.3af - addresses PoE BICSI: ANSI/TIA/EIA -568-B - Commercial Building Telecommunication Standard ANSI/TIA/EIA -569-A - Commercial Building Standards for Telecommunications Pathways and Spaces 18 LIEBERT CORPORATION 1050 D EARBORN DrIVE P.O.

Premo beat breaker fLako presents a sterling 3rd album and magnum opus with 'Natureboy' for UK's Five Easy Pieces. Where many in the beat scene can tend to twiddle off into jazzy frippery, fLako defines a filigree balance of restraint and technical innovation with jazz-wise expression, meshing slick, tensile electronics nodding to footwork, grime and lush 4th world ambient tones with grid-skipping drum patterns and feathered instrumental touches.
Mike Simonetti (Italians Do It Better) inaugurates his 2MR (Two Mikes Records) label with this lush debut double slab as Pale Blue with vocalists Liz Wight (Silver Hands) and Jana Hunter (Lower Dens). The vibe gauge is set to heartfelt from the outset, strafing component elements of melodic techno, dream-pop and disco with a dancefloor-honed sense of motorik trance momentum and romance. Simonetti's previous credentials are as diverse as they are impressive, covering so much ground between his punk background at Troubleman Unlimited and the disco inspirations of Italians Do It Better… Read more
**In which Michael Price, composer for the BBC's 'Sherlock' TV series, explores "the spontaneity of performance and the sound of musicians hearing, connecting and responding" ** "'Entanglement', the debut album by Michael Price fulfils his long-term desire to explore new musical territories, featuring Michael on the piano, with the addition of cello, soprano voice, string orchestra, modular synth, tape effects and electronics. Throughout the record you will hear street sounds from 'Budapest' captured and processed on Michael's mobile phone, as well as chamber music recorded direct to … Read more
"An Iceberg is a large mass of ice detached from a glacier or from a floating platform of glaciers that drifst in the sea.

Kelela's world-taking 'Cut 4 Me' (2013) mixtape blooms from 13 to 22 tracks, augmented with dramatic new remixes and riddims from Jam City, Neana, Kingdom, Mike Q, Massacooramaan… Y'all know what the sublime original sounds like so let's skip fwd: Jam City entirely overhauls 'Keep It Cool' with a smoother sorta tension; Kingdom resets 'Enemy' with a low-riding ballroom swagger; Mike Q ramps the spare Jam City mix of 'Cherry Coffee' with flash and bolshy ballroom flair; 'Go All Night' gets a kick drum reinforcement from Neana, contrasting sharply with the tessellating prisms of Massacooramaan's crystalline render. A worthwhile refreshment. Tip!
**Woozy trip hop waking dreams** "Lapalux knew where and how his sound should change with a second album. As a result, Lustmore feels like a record as compulsively inspired and meticulously crafted as you're likely to hear in 2015. Lustmore is loosely based on the experience of hypnogogia, a transitional state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleep. Listeners familiar with his 2011 debut, Nostalgic, will know that Stuart Howard's woozy, infectious rhythms, enveloping textures and unfamiliarly familiar melodies conjure that territory perfectly. Lapalux attracted the direct attention of Brainfe… Read more
Shlomo rolls emotional in his long-awaited 3rd LP of instrumental hip hop hybrids. 'Dark Red' distills a viscous mix of coldwave and shoegaze memes together with ghostly traces of jungle, grime and footwork to a more mature, vintage-sounding appeal. It feels as though the tracks were created out of time and place; cherry-picking and arranging the choicest morsels of bygone styles before burying them in a rusty reel-to-reel tin and allowing the whole thing to gently emulsify. The resulting, foisty candies are aged beautifully and marked up with titles that ring true with their dysphoric pallor and int… Read more

'Wilderness of Mirrors' is a harrowing and compelling slab of dense ambient doom from esteemed Room40 proprietor, Lawrence English. Two years in the making and arguably ranking among his finest works, 'Wilderness of Mirrors' is, as English puts it, "reflection upon reflection, a pure white out of absolute aurality". Taking its title from a phrase rooted in T.S. Eliot's poem 'Gerontion' and later used to describe the misinformation campaigns of the cold war, it finds English channelling inspiration from the affective dynamics of Earth, MBV and Swans, together with his own fascina… Read more
**Edition of 300 housed in letter-pressed gatefold card sleeve and poly jacket** Wall and Rodgers' 2nd batch of surgically disassembled syntax and probing psycho-acoustics for Entr'acte is a bewt. Following on from 'Work 2006-2011' (E114) it presents a single, 27-minute piece of vitriolic vocal convulsions and computer music minutiae finding the long-term collaborators operating at liminal levels of psychoacoustic perception with an avant-garde, Beckettian feel for literary absurdity with Rodgers taking real pleasure in masticating juicy, uncomfortably sandwiched phrases. Very satisfying indeed.
*2CD double album* "Half Lives is the Gizeh Records follow-up album to Baker's acclaimed 2013 album Already Drowning. While that album was built around the guest vocals of female singers - including Carla Bozulich, Jessica Bailiff and Geneviéve Castrée (O Paon) - Half Lives comprises two separate but interconnected albums and Baker's loose concept was that they would bridge the more abstract/experimental and song-oriented natures of his work. Both albums were recorded in August 2014 in Berlin and are the product of initial extended improvisations that were then arranged into coherent pieces - '… Read more
**2015 CD Reissue** "'On The Way To The Peak Of Normal' is the third album by Holger Czukay, originally released in 1981. After 'Movies', his first post-Can solo album, Czukay continued exploring the methods of sampling and laidback jamming on this follow-up. The side long 'Ode To Perfume' / 'Fragrance' coasts along on some heavily twangy guitar, shortwave static, treated vocals, and drunken trumpet, all in a hypnotic late night groove. Intended as environmental music for some underlit, velvet clad chillout room, the album can be seen as one long rumination on improvised understatement."
**Remastered double CD edition with bonus tracks** "Factory Benelux deliver an expanded double disc edition of Always Now, the debut album by cult Factory Records group Section 25, produced by legendary sonic architect Martin Hannett in 1981. This new edition is housed in a miniature version of the folding pochette wallet designed by Peter Saville - famously one of the most expensive sleeves produced by Factory.

A week on from the issuing of their ace four-track LP, Dead, here's White Hills eponymous Thrill Jockey album - a tremendous slab of Hawkwind style bludgeoning psychedelia and grunge-era riffing, with a good measure of electronic strangeness thrown into the bargain.

Black Emperor (GYBE) returns with its first single LP-length release since the group's earliest days in 1997-99. 'Asunder, Sweet And Other Distress' clocks in at a succinct 40:23 and is arguably the most focused and best-sounding recording of the band's career.

Remarkable, processed vocal studies from Rome. 'Sintetizzatrice' is the first time Anna Caragnano & Donato Dozzy have worked together but you'd never tell. Their debut release features Anna's voice as the sole source, whisked, chopped and layered into an astonishing spectrum of styles touching on traditional Italian folk music as well as classical chamber music, kosmische and R&B. In stark contrast with the invasive tones of Florian Hecker's recent vocal studies, Dozzy deigns for a more heavenly form and accessible approach with differently transcendent results.

Norway's Geir Jenssen (Biosphere) & Helge Sten (Deathprod) broach liminal ambient zones in their very keenly-awaited collaboration, 'Stator' for Touch. It's the 2nd time they've appeared together, following 1998's 'Nordheim Transformed', but the first time that they've actually collaborated. You'd be forgiven for assuming what ensues, as the duo plumb very closely to their signatures across seven tracks spread over 41 minutes. Entering with the unheimlich creep of 'Muses-C', balanced right on the biting point of phasing distortion and clarity, they cover vast tracts of ambient terrain with … Read more
*Ships Friday* Luis Vasquez a.k.a. The Soft Moon nails his strongest, most-malleable take on post-punk/wave techno to date with third album, 'Deeper'. Since his last LP effort, 'Zeros', he's moved from Oakland, CA to Venice, Italy, with numerous raids on Berlin between. This has clearly influenced his sound, lending a more stringent focus and amped-up studio production ringing deeply true with his mix of formative influences; American EBM muscle and synthetic European emotions. It's kinda what we hoped the last Cold Cave album would sound like, before it went horribly wrong and Fernow scarpered. RIYL Silent Servant, Lust For Youth, Factory Floor.

Kayaker Missing In Long Island Sound; Search Suspended
MILFORD - The search for a kayaker missing since early Sunday morning was suspended on Monday, officials said. Firefighters and state police had been using radar to search the area in Long Island Sound where kayaker Michael Krupa, 22, of Middletown, was last seen. Milford firefighters called the search off about 4 p.m.Copyright © 2009, The Hartford Courant

I am saddened by the news that we lost a fellow kayaker this past weekend. Even though Michael Krupa was not part of SKG I feel he is still part of our community. He is from Middletown, CT and he paddled in Milford, CT which are in our general area. From what I have read on the Internet, he is already missed by his family and friends. I send my condoles to his family. Rest in Peace Michael.
Long Island sound (and particularly the Charles Island area in Milford) is a safe place to kayak, but we all need to recognize that things can happen. There is an inherent danger associated with kayaking (as well as most other water activities). I encourage us to discuss and learn from this incidence. I have started a separate thread for that discussion. (go to http://www.meetup.com...)

Besides the obvious how do we prevent this sort of thing? So far I have only done rivers and large lakes. Never the sound. So I want to be prepared for the day when I do.

Unfortunately in this particular case, common sense would have probably been enough to prevent the death.
Rough seas, open boat, no craft flotation, no personal flotation, and alone.... at midnight?!?
This tragedy was 100% avoidable, with a minimal expense and effort.
My heart goes to friends and family.
