gathering creation begins when our glassblowers first gather the hot glass on the blowpipe from a 2,300 degree oven. that's why we call it the "hot shop".
the unique color of each glassybaby comes from the dropping and rolling of the glass, with three layers of glass creating the color of each glassybaby.
we call it glassblowing because the artist actually blows into the mold to begin creating the shape and forming the "ice", or the clear glass bottom.
trimming the glassybaby is when the glassblower crafts that perfect iconic glassybaby shape.
glassybaby is born the moment they stamp the bottom with the glassybaby logo, and put in the cooling oven for 15-16 hours to relieve the glass of any stress.
every glassybaby gives 10%
10% (at least $4.40) of the revenue from each glassybaby is donated

The word "opportunity" is a generic term for the chance to advance, better one's economic state, health, social position, etc. However, in the context of direct selling, "opportunity," in addition to the chance to make money, is a reference to the "business opportunity" of a direct selling/MLM marketing program.
Two dozen states and the FTC regulate the offering of business opportunities in a parallel fashion to their regulation of franchise opportunities. Because of the low threshold of entry fees, typically, modestly-priced at-cost sales kits, the business opportunity of MLM companies is generally exempt from state business opportunity laws. In addition, the FTC has indicated that it generally does not view the offering of an MLM opportunity to trigger the FTC Business Opportunity Rule. Of course, multiple states have adopted specific MLM statutes to provide guidelines for the offering of a MLM opportunity. All of these statutes can be found in the statutes library at www.mlmlegal.com.

While the experts participating in 'ADHD Experts on Call' cannot provide specific medical advice or recommend a particular course of action, they can provide helpful information about:
-- How to recognize ADHD symptoms in children and adults;
-- The potential for ADHD to run in families and why adults sometimes recognize their personal symptoms of ADHD only after their child is diagnosed;
-- The impact of ADHD at work, at school, at home and in relationships with family and friends;
-- Tips for how to achieve daily successes in school, at work and during your busy day;
-- Ideas to help adults with ADHD to better focus at work or at home, remember meetings or appointments and be able to manage and finish projects;
-- How parents can approach teachers about their child's ADHD-related educational needs;
-- Common myths and misconceptions about ADHD.
"'ADHD Experts on Call' is a terrific resource for people to learn
about ADHD and how the disorder impacts people of all ages," said David
Goodman, M.D., director of the Adult Attention Deficit Disorder Center of
Maryland and assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "Many people think ADHD is
something you outgrow, however, up to 65 percent of children with ADHD may
still exhibit the core symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and
impulsivity into adulthood, although they may present differently in these
two age groups. For example, while children with ADHD may seem easily
distracted or have difficulty sitting still, adults may have ADHD symptoms
that appear as having difficulty finishing tasks or seeming impatient.

PDM60 install and frame grounding...

No love on this yet, huh?
Well, I installed the TPMS unit yesterday. Removing the tank would have made it easier/cleaner, but I've not done that yet on this bike and am not going to unless absolutely necessary (unlike the 1150 tank, which I had off all the time).
For the ground, I ended up using a bolt that secures one of the seat mounts. I scuffed up the bottom of the nut before reassembly and that circuit is hot now.
The TPMS is up and running...my first time to have such a unit...nice to have that bit of info. This feature is not available OEM here as there is some issue with the frequency the units transmit on...or something like that.
The unit comes on immediately on ignition, I thought a 7-second delay was standard for the PDM60...maybe that was changed when I asked for circuit customization.
All of my circuits also stay on for a few minutes after key off...I can already see this is not the best behavior for the TPMS unit, as it's an attention grabbing light that will stay on when I walk away from the bike. Not desirable in all locations.
Will be great when future versions of this the PDM60 have a mini-USB port for the end user to reprogram the character of each circuit while still in the bike...

Customer Reviews of TRENDnet TEW-MP1U 1-Port Wireless G Multi-Function USB Print Server
Trendnet struck out3/4/2012
This unit is junk. I am using Win XP Pro, with a Samsung Laser. I did not see where Trendnet stated that each PC must have their software installed before you can print. Buy.com receives their information from the manufacturer or supplier. I checked Trendnet's web site and must have missed this point, if it were there. Only one PC can use it at a time. You have to "Connect" to it, and "Disconnect" when done, so that another PC can print. The software started crashing on PC startup. I would print one job, and it would disconnect on its own. I would have to restart the printer. Now it disconnects before the print job. Overall, not even worth being a paper weight.
The unit has reached its end of life support ...3/1/2012
... that is what TRENDnet's technical support has to say about this product. Moreover, their technical support stated, "The TEW-MP1U does not support the windows 7 64 bit operating system. The print server will not work with your 64 bit computers. The unit has reached its end of life support and will not receive any further updates to make it compatible with any of the other operating systems." I would opt for another print server that may be compatible with 64 bit OS or is at least upgradable.

It seems like everyday we are reporting on something circus like and messy going on with the New York Jets. Quarterback Greg McElroy was quoted last year as saying that the Jets had a "corrupt mindset," in their lockerroom. It's amazing what the opportunity to start will do for one's ability to deliver compliments, because yesterday according to the Star-Ledger, McElroy said the Jets weren't as bad as people made it seem. "It wasn't at all," McElroy said on Sirius XM's Mad Dog Radio. "A lot of people assumed things weren't terrible. It wasn't the case." McElroy is even starting to dish out politically correct statements like a starting quarterback.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, comprising a plurality of pairs of detection and measuring devices and corresponding correcting means and a separate control means for each said pair.
3. A defect detection and measuring device for use in an apparatus for detecting and correcting defects in plywood panels that measures the length, width and depth of the defects in the panels in the X, Y and Z axes respectively, said device comprising means for projecting a light beam transversely onto the surface of the panels and means for receiving the reflected beam at a given angle with respect to the axis of projection and for resolving the said reflected beam into a series of points said receiving means measuring the position of each point with respect to the X, Y and Z axes and the ratio between its light intensity and the mean of the light intensity of all points of the reflected beam to thereby determine the length, width and depth of each defect.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/407,682 filed Sept. 14, 1989, abandoned, which is a continuation of Ser. No. 07/199,352 filed May 26, 1988 (now abandoned), which is a C-I-P of Ser. No. 07/019,610, filed Feb. 27, 1987 (now abandoned).
The present invention relates to a system for automatically detecting and correcting defects in articles being processed, in particular plywood panels with splits, knot-holes, etc. requiring to be satisfactorily plugged.
As is well-known to persons skilled in the art, a plywood panel production line includes a defect detection and plugging station, the defects in question being splits, knot-holes and the like, which can always occur in this type of article.
The operations of detection and plugging have to date been carried out by production line operators using entirely manual methods. In such cases, assessment of the defects by the operator is subjective; and when the assessment has been made the operator himself plugs the defects manually, using suitable equipment.
This mode of operating means that, if it is wished to keep output at acceptable levels, a large workforce must be employed and this in turns means that the plugging operation has a very high incidence on the final cost of each panel. Additionally, the operator's assessment and plugging of the defect are not always optimal.
The general object of the present invention is to obviate the aforementioned drawbacks by embodying a system that will fully automate the operations in question, minimizing the workforce required.
To attain this object, the invention according to the present application embodies a system for detecting and correcting defects in articles being processed, in particular wood panels carried by a conveyor, wherein there are used in combination: one or more defect detection and identification devices, described in greater detail hereinafter, one or more defect correction devices, also described in more detail hereinafter, and appropriate means for data processing and for generating automated controls interposed between the said defect detection devices and the said defect correction devices.
The structural and functional characteristics of the invention, and its advantages over the known art, will become more apparent from an examination of the following illustrative and not limiting description, referred to the appended diagrammatic drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus for the embodiment of the system according to the invention for the detection and correction of defects present in the plywood panel;
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal elevational view;
FIG. 3 is a plan view; and
FIG. 4 is a cross section of the apparatus.
FIG. 5 is a diagrammatic illustration of the principal defects typically found on the surface of a playwood panel; and
FIG. 6 is a detail of each of the devices 15-18.
With reference to the drawings, the said apparatus is indicated overall by 10 and structurally consists of a powered belt conveyor 11 on which wood panels 12 for processing are positioned and pressed by pressors 13 and fed step-wise by pre-established distances.
Conveyors of this type are well-known and are therefore not herein described in detail.
The conveyor 11 is supported by a frame 14 on which there is mounted one or more defect detection devices 15, 16, 17, 18 which can scan the surface of the underlying panel 12.
Downstream of the detection devices 15-18 there are provided respective operating complexes 20, 21, 22 and 23, each supported by a slide 24 which moves transversally on guides 25 of a crossmember 26 which can in turn move longitudinally on guides 27 of the frame 14.
Each operating complex 20-23 comprises a powered tool 28 and a plugging device 29, each movable vertically on guides 30. The tools 28 and devices 29 can thus move longitudinally, transversally and vertically with respect to the underlying panels 12, i.e. along the three Cartesian coordinates X, Y and Z.
The defect detection devices 15-18 are operatively connected to a respective operating complex 20-23 through the intermediary of a processor 31 the outputs of which transmit to a plurality of numerical control units 32, 33, 34 and 35, which control the said complexes.
The processor 31 and the numerical control 32-35 are electronic devices of known type and known characteristics and are widely used in many sectors of the art, and for this reason are not here further described.
The numeral 36 and 37 indicate two reservoirs containing compounds suitable for forming the plugging material which is fed to the plugging devices 29.
The mode of operation of the system described above is briefly as follows. Motion is imparted to the belt conveyors 11 for example by a permanent-magnet motor (panel translation axis). An encoder connected to the motor establishes the longitudinal position of the panel. The distance between the lateral supports can be varied and adjusted in relation to the width of the workpiece.
The stepwise feed of the panel is for example programmed for maximum steps of 600 mm, and during this stage the panel is scanned by devices 15-18 which effect real time identification of defects and send the corresponding data to the processor unit 31.
The data detected by detection devices are processed by the processing unit 31 which transmits signals to the numerical control units 32-35, which then control the respective operating complexes 20-23.
As mentioned, each operating complex can be embodied with two heads for, respectively, milling, sanding and plugging with stoppers or resins any holes present from the outset and/or caused subsequently by processing tools, thus correcting the defects detected by the previous scanning operation.
The heads move along the axes X, Y, Z, controlled by permanent-magnet motors, ballscrews and on slide guides.
At maximum operating capacity, a plurality of simultaneously operating heads are employed.
Preferably, provision is also made for a high-efficiency exhaust system, with tool shrouding, for the removal of chips, dust, etc. occuring during processing.
The number of operating modules of which the system is composed is determined by the output required and the number of defects on the surfaces of the panels.
During defect correction operations, the panels are held firm on a support surface.
The essential part of the present invention is the defect detection and identification system. As illustrated diagrammatically in FIG. 5 of the drawings, the said defects typically fall into two categories:
(a) defects consisting of over-accentuated chromatic discontinuities on the surface of the panel, such as dark knots, glue or paint stains or spots or stains or spots of other substances with which the panel has accidentally been in contact, and so on. This category of defects is collectively indicated by the numeral 38.
(b) defects consisting of over-accentuated geometrical discontinuities on the surface of the panel, such as long splits, round holes, normally knot-holes caused by the coming away of knots on the surface layer of the panel, protruberance more or less irregular in shape due for example to imperfect joining of the veneers making up the surface layer of the panel or due to splinters of wood left glued to the surface of the panel, and so on. This category of defects is collectively indicated by the numeral 39. The detection system in question must be able to distinguish the type 38 defects from the type 39 defects, and must measure the extension of each along the three controlled axes X, Y, Z so as to send to the processor 31 the information required to appropriately operate the control-units 32-35 and thus to actuate the devices 28 and 29 to obtain the effect strictly necessary for correcting the defect without waste of wood or plugging material.
To such end, provision is made in each of the devices 15-18 for an element 19 (for example a LASER projector) which projects transversally on the surface of the panel 12 a light beam 42 which is read at a given angle 41 to the axis of projection by an element 40 (for example a CCD chamber or the like) capable of resolving the said beam into a series of points, the position of each of which is determined with respect to the system of coordinates X, Y, Z and measurement is made of the ratio between the light-intensity of each point and the mean of the light-intensity of all the points of the beam. Two cases can thus occur:
(a) the positions of all the points are aligned along a straight line (i.e. they all have the same coordinate Z=0 for each position of the panel defined by the coordinate X), but some of the points have a light-intensity very different from the mean: what is here involved therefore is one or more type 38 defects, and their extension along the aforesaid straight line is measured by the coordinates Y of the aforesaid points.
(b) all the points of the beam 42 have the same light-intensity but some of them have the coordinate Z different from zero: what is in this case involved, therefore, is one or more type 39 defects, the extension of which along the line of projection is measured by the coordinates Y of the aforesaid points, and the depth (or protruberance) of which is measured by the coordinates Z of the same points.
The identification of the defects as such is determined by the exceeding of given thresholds in the deviations between the light-intensity values and between the values of the coordinates Z relative to the single points, and such thresholds are pre-set and memorized in the processor 31.

At 36 years old, you'd think San Antonio Spurs' Tim Duncan's game would be aging. During the end of the 2010 playoffs, he was described as a "traffic cone" (John Hollinger's words on Twitter). He looked old, tired, and his game looked diminished to the point where he should retire. Duncan had another plans though. He's lost plenty of weight, which has helped his aching knees, and he's made Spurs fans forget about that performance. In fact, he's having his fans think he's been playing better than he has in years and looks as youthful as when he first came into the league. Other players have noticed, mainly Marc Gasol. "He's a handful. He's a really good player who has a lot of different moves. He's playing really good. He knows how to adjust the game to himself and the team does a great job playing him at the right spot at the right time." This is something that couldn't have been said of Duncan 2-3 years ago, but even elite big men are taking notice. Tim is playing with more bounce in his step on both ends of the floor. He's no longer a "traffic cone" on defense and he's making teams have to help on defense like the Tim of old instead of old Tim. For Gasol, it's not too hard for him not to notice, especially when something like this happens.

EDMOND, Okla., April 7, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Edmond Medical Center and ophthalmologists M. Andrew Hogue, M.D. and Robert D. Gourley, M.D. of Edmond Regional Eye Associates, will once again participate in the Mission Cataract Campaign, a program designed to provide free cataract surgeries for those who cannot afford to pay.
Appointments can be made for the free screenings at the physicians' office. If the patient qualifies for the cataract surgery and is in financial need they will be asked to return for the procedure. There is limited availability and the program is open only to patients without medical insurance, such as Medicare, Medicaid, VA Benefits, etc. Surgeries will be scheduled August 11 and 13th and August 25th and 30th. The surgery, which, on average, takes about 20 minutes, will include lens implants, supplies and all follow-up care. All services of the physician and staff at Edmond Medical Center will be donated.
Dr. Gourley and Dr. Hogue have always enjoyed being able to perform cataract surgeries on mission trips abroad. However, both realized the need to bring their missionary work home to local Oklahomans who couldn't afford the high cost of cataract removal, yet depended on their sight to continue working. Although cataract surgery is quite common, the highly technical instrumentation and skills required to perform the surgery make it costly for those without health insurance. The cost of cataract surgery generally totals $6500 per eye.
Mission Cataract USA began as one California surgeon performing 21 free surgeries in 1991. The annual program has grown to over 300 physicians across the country performing thousands of free cataract surgeries on Mission Cataract USA day each year. Edmond Medical Center became involved with the program in 1993, the first year the program expanded nationwide. This year, the free surgeries will be performed at more than 50 clinics and hospitals in 29 states.

My thoughts are Microsoft put a stop to any PC talk about this game. Anyway does anyone have any new info or news about this game?

By Doug GormanThe Mundy's Mill Tigers relied on big plays from both the offense and the defense Saturday night at Tara Stadium to defeat the Mt. Zion Bulldogs 27-0. Mundy's Mill scored two first-quarter touchdowns in a span of 16 seconds and never looked back to improve its record to 2-0 overall. The loss left Mt. Zion, 0-2, still searching for its first victory for new head coach Bob Ryan. The Tigers scored touchdowns with two fumble recoveries from the defensive side of the ball, and also raced to the end zone on the ground and through the air. Mundy's Mill generated 191 yards of total offense with most of it coming from running back Erroll Wynn, who rushed for 131 yards. It was his second straight 100-plus yardage game. Mt. Zion had its chances to score too, rolling up 194 yards of offense, but the Bulldogs were unable to put the ball in the end zone. Mundy's Mill took a 7-0 lead on its first series of the game when quarterback Miquel Starks connected with Justice Ammah on a 17-yard pass. Earlier in the drive, Ammah also caught a 38-yard pass from Starks. Seconds later the Tigers took a 14-0 lead when Kerry Leonard picked up a fumble and returned it 20 yards. Mundy's Mill didn't score again until 56 seconds remaining in the third quarter, but when Wynn scored on a 1-yard run and Carmelo Marcelin kicked the extra point the Tigers led 21-0. Mundy's Mill closed out the scoring with a second touchdown on defense as Montel Minter returned another Mt. Zion fumble for a score with less than a minute remaining in the third quarter. Mt. Zion's best chance to score came when Martin Ward's halfback pass to Adrian Martin for a touchdown was called back on a penalty.

The present invention relates generally to communication networks and, in particular, to network-subscriber device authentication.
In a wireless communication network, subscriber devices are authenticated by the network to prevent non-registered and fraudulent subscriber devices from accessing the network. Methods of authentication or verification are currently implemented in wireless networks as either a one-way authentication or mutual authentication.
One-way authentication occurs when a subscriber device is initially powered-up or at periodic intervals while the subscriber device is powered on. Typically, the network will send an authentication request message containing a publicly-known key or code to the subscriber device. The subscriber device, upon receiving the authentication request message and publicly-known key derives an authentication response message. The authentication response message is sent back to the network and is processed by the network to determine if access will be granted. Thus, the authentication or verification only occurs in one direction (subscriber device-to-network). A problem with one-way authentication or verification, is that only the authenticating devices are protected from fraud. The non-authenticating device (i.e. base station) may be a false network device acquiring information from the authenticating subscriber device.
Mutual authentication or verification occurs when a subscriber device proceeds through authentication or verification as described above in addition to the network being authenticated or verified by the subscriber device. A method of mutual authentication is the direct challenge with response confirmation method. Either the network side or subscriber side may selectively challenge (authenticate) the other at any time. In an alternate approach, every message has authentication information transferred between the network and subscriber device. A problem with the mutual authentication of each message and the direct challenge approach is that the bandwidth overhead proves to be costly and inefficient.
As an example of the potential security threat, a base site will typically be employed as a transmission link to enable a subscriber device to both send and receive data packets with a packet data network. A simple method of verifying the base site to the subscriber device may consist of integrating a time-varying password with the data packets that are sent to the subscriber device. In this manner there is no need for the separate transmission of a challenge from the subscriber device to the base site, since both units maintain a common perception of time. This method is commonly used for access to data servers, and is marketed by SECURITY DYNAMICS™ as the "Ace" card.
However, in some applications, the base site is also responsible for the maintenance of "time" as perceived by the subscriber device. Therefore a false base site could replay previous verification responses to the subscriber device if the false base can modify the subscriber device's perception of time.
Thus, a need exists in the art for a method and apparatus for protecting subscriber devices in a wireless communication network against false base site that are able to gain access to subscriber information.
FIG. 1 is an illustration of a communication system receiving timing from a global positioning satellite in accordance with an embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a subscriber device in accordance with an embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a method of network device verification at a subscriber device in accordance with an embodiment of the invention; and
FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating an alternate method of subscriber device verification in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
In FIG. 1, a communication system having a global positioning satellite (GPS) 102, a cellular base station 104, and a subscriber device 106 is shown. The GPS 102 supplies a timing or clock signal 108 to the network entities, such as the base station 104, enabling the network entities (in a first network) to synchronize clocking to a common timing source.
The base station 104 has an antenna 110 coupled to a transceiver 112. The transceiver 112 being a transmitter and a receiver for transmitting and receiving signals. The transceiver 112 is coupled to the antenna 110, a clock 114, and a controller 116. The clock 114 is also connected to a GPS antenna 109 for receiving the clock signal 108 from the GPS satellite 102. The controller 116 manages the clock 114 and sets system dates and times. The base station 104 also sends and receives communications over a wireless communication path 118 with a subscriber device 106.
The subscriber device 106 has another transceiver 120 coupled to another antenna 122, another clock 124, and another controller 126. The other controller 126 is coupled to the other transceiver 120, the other clock 124, and a time adjustment database 128 contained in a memory. The subscriber device may be powered by a battery or coupled to an alternating current (AC) power supply.
The subscriber device 106 receives a time adjustment message 130 at the other transceiver 120 via the other antenna 122 from the base station 104 over the wireless communication path 118. The other controller 126 processes the time adjustment message 130 and, as will be discussed below, determines if the base station 104 will be accessed and the other clock 124 updated. If a difference in time between the subscriber device and network exist, then the base station potentially is in another network (i.e. a potential fraudulent base station).
The other clock 124 used in the subscriber device is selected because of its characteristics. The clock is often incorporated into custom hardware developed for the subscriber device and is required to be sensitive to the accuracy of the frequency reference used for the calculation of time. Additionally, reasonably priced oscillators can be purchased for hardware designs that have +/−15 part-per-million accuracy. An example of a crystal component that can support this operation is the CONNER-WINFIELD XM-1™ series crystals. The tolerance of +/−15 PPM can provide fraud protection (assuming a 4 second tolerance window) for more than 37 hours after disconnection from a network in the present embodiment of the invention, assuming that a natural reference slip cannot exceed half of the tolerance window (2 seconds).
In the present embodiment, the system is a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) cellular system as described in Cellular System Remote Unit-Base Station Compatibility Standard of the Electronic Industry Association/Telecommunications Industry Association Interim Standard 95 (TIA/EIA/IS-95A), which is incorporated by reference herein. (EIA/TIA can be contacted at 2500 Wilson Blvd, Suite 300, Arlington, Va. 22201). "Personal Station-Base Station Compatibility Requirements for 1.8 to 2.0 GHz Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) Personal Communication Systems" (American National Standards Institute (ANSI) J-STD-008), but in alternate embodiments communication system may utilize other analog or digital cellular communication system protocols such as, but not limited to, the Narrowband Advanced Mobile Phone Service (NAMPS) protocol, the Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) protocol, the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) protocol, the Personal Digital Cellular (PDC) protocol, or the United States Digital Cellular (USDC) protocol.
The IS-95 CDMA specification describes the time adjustment procedure for a cellular communication system. The system time information is broadcast on a specific channel (Sync Channel) on the forward link. The time contained in the broadcast message is system time in 80 millisecond units, valid "as of four Sync Channel superframes (320 ms) after the end of the last superframe containing any part of the Sync Channel Message, minus the pilot PN sequence offset." The Sync Channel superframe is defined as three Pilot PN sequence periods, each of which is 32768/122880 seconds (26⅔ milliseconds) in length. The Sync message always begins on the first slot of the superframe, so the mobile station knows when the next superframe begins. The subscriber device has a perception of time based on the Sync Channel Messages (e.g. time adjustment messages). If the Sync Channel Message contains a false time, while maintaining all other aspects of the IS-95 channel intact the subscriber device acquires a false time.
Turning to FIG. 2, a block diagram of the subscriber device 106 is shown. The subscriber device has the other transceiver 120 coupled to the other antenna 122, and the other controller 126. The other controller 126 is coupled to the other transceiver 120, a display 204, a keypad 202, the other clock 124, and the time adjustment database 128.
The other transceiver 120 receives the timing message 130, FIG. 1, from a base station 104 via the wireless communication path 118 and the other antenna 122, FIG. 2. The other controller 126 identifies the type of message as a timing message 130 requiring the time setting of the other clock 124 to be changed. The other controller 126 determines a delta time value between the time setting (a current or first time value) of the other clock 124, FIG. 2, and the time setting (a second time value) received in the timing message 130, FIG. 1. The other controller 126 then checks if the delta time value is below a threshold (e.g. 4 seconds) and, if so, then checks a memory (e.g. RAM, ROM, SDRAM) having the time adjustment database 128. The other controller 126 places the delta time value in the time adjustment database and verifies that for a predetermined amount of time the combined delta time value adjustments are below the time threshold value. The check of the delta time value adjustments over a predetermined period prevent a fraudulent base station from sending multiple small time adjustments over a short period in an attempt to avoid a single detectable time change. If the combined delta time value is below the time threshold value, then the time of the other clock 124 is updated.
If the time threshold value is exceeded by either the delta time value or the combined delta time values over a predetermined period, then an alert signal is activated. The alert signal is sent from the other controller 126 to the display 204 (a signal device) resulting in a visual alert. In alternative embodiments, an individual or combination of signal devices, visual (e.g. a display or light emitting diode for a visual alert signal), audio (e.g. a speaker for an audio alert signal), or mechanical (e.g. vibration), may selectively be used. The alert signals to a user that accessing the potential fraudulent base station is a security risk. The user responds to the alert and either proceeds with accessing the base station 104 or ceases communication with base station 104. The response to the alert in the present embodiment requires the user to enter a key on the key pad 202, FIG. 2. In the current embodiment, a 1 key is entered to proceed or a 2 key is entered by a user to cease accessing the base station 104, FIG. 1.
In FIG. 3, a flow chart illustrating a method for network-to-user verification at a subscriber device based on time is shown. In step 302, a time adjustment message 130, FIG. 1, is received at the subscriber device 106, FIG. 2. The current time value maintained by the subscriber device is determined in step 304, FIG. 3. The controller 126, FIG. 2, determines the current time value from the other clock 124. In step 306, FIG. 3, the delta time value is determined between the time value from the clock 124, FIG. 2, and the received time value from the time adjustment message. An example of determination of the delta time value is the time value from the clock 124, FIG. 2, being subtracted from the received time value from the time adjustment message.
The delta time value is checked against a time threshold value, in step 308. If the delta time value is less than the time threshold value, then a second check to determine the total time change within a predetermined period occurs in step 310. If the total amount of time change is less than or equal to the period threshold value, then the clock in the subscriber device is adjusted, step 318, and the base station is accessed in step 320. Additionally, if, in step 310, the total time adjustments is greater than the period threshold value, then the period threshold value is met and the alert is activated in step 312.
If, in step 308, the time threshold value is met (time threshold value exceeded by the delta time value), then an alert is generated by the controller 126, FIG. 2, in step 312, FIG. 3. The user is prompted in step 314 to verify that the clock should be updated and base station accessed or if the accessing of the base station should be terminated. If the base station is to be accessed, then the clock in the subscriber device is adjusted in step 318 and the base site accessed, step 320. Otherwise, the base station is not to be access and, in step 316, the processing is complete.
Turning to FIG. 4, a flow chart of an alternate method of authenticating a base station at a subscriber device is illustrated. The subscriber device 106, FIG. 1, receives a delta time value that represents the amount of time to advance or retard the clock from a base station 104 in step 402, FIG. 4. The time adjustment message 130, FIG. 1, received at the base station 104 being either an advance clock message or retard clock message. In step 404, the received delta time value is compared to a threshold time value. In the current embodiment, the threshold is set to a predetermined value, such as 5 seconds. But, in an alternate embodiment an average time value of delta time changes over a longer period may selectively be used.
If the delta time value is greater than the threshold value in step 406, then the threshold value has been met and an alert is activated in step 406. The alert can be visual using the display 204, FIG. 2, audio, or mechanical. The user responds to the alert. either by choosing to access the base station or to not access the base station by entering a key on the keypad 202. If in step 408, FIG. 4, the user response is to access the base station, then the clock 124, FIG. 2, is adjusted in step 412, FIG. 4, and the base site is accessed in step 416. Otherwise the base station 104, FIG. 1, is not accessed and the processing ceases in step 410, FIG. 4.
If the received delta time is less than or equal to the threshold in step 404, then a check of the total amount of time adjustment within a predetermined time period occurs. If the total amount of time adjustment is greater than the time threshold value in step 414, then the time threshold value is met and the alert is activated in step 406. Otherwise, the total time adjustment is less than the threshold for a fixed period of time and results in the clock 124, FIG. 2, in the subscriber device being adjusted, step 412, FIG. 4, and the base station accessed in step 416.
Thus, an embodiment of a method and apparatus for protecting subscriber devices in a wireless communication network against fraudulent base stations has been described. The change in timing between the fraudulent base station and a non-fraudulent base station is detectable by the subscriber device and the user is alerted to the timing change. Additionally, no increase in bandwidth is required to detected fraudulent base stations because the detection of timing changes at a subscriber device does not require additional messages between the base stations and the subscriber device.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a particular embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention and it is intended that all such changes come within the scope of the following claims.

Billy Hamilton is ready to show the major leagues that he can steal a base anywhere. The Reds invited the 22-year-old outfielder to spring training, giving him a chance to see firsthand what it's like to take off running with a major league pitcher and catcher trying to keep him from taking the next base. Hamilton set a professional record with 155 steals last season, which he split between Class A and Double-A. The Reds plan to start him at Triple-A Louisville this season, giving him time to develop his bunting and his new position of center field. First, he'll get a chance to attend camp in Arizona as a non-roster invitee, providing an opportunity to see if big leaguers really are all that much better at cutting down runners.

LINCROFT, N.J. -- As Deputy Coordinator of the Oceanport, N.J. Office of Emergency Management, Chris Baggot has weathered a lot of storms.
But nothing so profoundly altered the landscape of his community like Hurricane Sandy.
The 3.7 square mile town on the Shrewsbury River was devastated by the storm. Five hundred of the 2000 homes in this close-knit community were substantially damaged or destroyed. Oceanport also lost its police station, its borough hall, its ambulance squad building, its library and its courthouse.
Some 18 months after the Oct. 29, 2012 hurricane, 71 families were still unable to return home.
The Baggot family is among them. The Baggots have been renting a one-bedroom apartment in the nearby community of Eatontown while they await the demolition and reconstruction of their home on Blackberry Bay.
While they were approved for an RREM grant of $150,000 to underwrite the rebuilding, a rough winter delayed the start of construction on their replacement home. Once the weather improves and contractors break ground, it will be another six to nine months before Chris, his wife, Wendy, and college-age son, Zachary, will be able to enjoy life in Oceanport once again.
"I'm a Sandy survivor. We don't use the word 'victim,''' he says.
He carriesthat perspective into his role at the Federal Emergency Management Agency's New Jersey Sandy Recovery Office, where he recently became a CORE employee after joining FEMA as a Local Hire in December of 2012.
It was his second time assisting his fellow New Jerseyans as a FEMA employee: Baggot was also recruited as a Local Hire in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene in 2011.
Hired initially as a project specialist for Public Assistance, Baggot moved on to become a Cost Estimating Format reviewer, Quality Assurance lead, Operations task force lead and finally, CORE Operations Task Force Lead.
In that capacity, he explains, "I oversee the life cycle of a Public Assistance project from the writing stage all the way through to obligation."
Baggot's personal experience with the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy has underlined his understanding of the importance of the FEMA mission in helping communities rebuild and become more resilient.
"It sure is nice when people say to you, 'Look, we need this; we need that,' and you can give it to them in a reasonable way," says Baggot, "and it's nice when you can manage expectations when people ask for the moon and stars. That's not really what we're there to provide. We're there to get them back to pre-disaster conditions."
He has plenty of praise for his colleagues at FEMA, who came here in the immediate aftermath of the storm to help the hard-hit residents of New Jersey get back on their feet.
"The FEMA people that I've had the opportunity to work with have really been great." He's also enjoyed observing their surprise at how different New Jersey is from its "What exit?" stereotype.
"They talk about how beautiful it is – they thought it was all blacktop," Baggot says with a laugh.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

text: Madonna is arguably the most popular female pop singer in American musical history. Although she began her career in the late 1970s as a dancer and as drummer for new wave group the Breakfast Club, Madonna has touched upon many different styles throughout her trend-setting career, and has acted in numerous movies as well. Although her image has shifted to include looks as disparate as raunchy temptress and new age mother, the Material Girl has always maintained a fierce business sense and a remarkable knack for controversy. Few other artists--male or female--have had the phenomenal mass adulation or the staying power of this pop culture icon.

The programme found flow rates of hydrocarbons at the upper end of expectations with the well now suspended as it is likely to be a future producer.
Hurricane, which was valued at more than £270 million when it floated in February, specialises in fractured basement reservoirs in granite formations.
Those lie below the sandstone reservoirs that have formed the basis for the majority of North Sea exploration. The Lancaster field, 100 per cent owned by AIM-listed Hurricane, has estimated resources equivalent to 207 million barrels of oil.
Dr Robert Trice, chief executive, said: "This successful outcome reinforces the potential importance of basement resources as a strategic resource for the UK."
Hurricane Energy's shares closed up 6.88p to 36.5p.

Food Habits
S. pelagica is carnivorous. It usually feeds on hydroids that are living in the same Sargassum weed in which it makes its home. S. pelagica does not hunt its prey in the traditional sense, but simply floats or grazes in its particular patch of sea weeds (Hickman 1973).
