|Method For Establishing a Global Time Base in a Time-Controlled Communications System and Communications System - A method for establishing a global time base in a time-controlled communications system comprising a network and multiple subscribers connected to it. At least one of the subscribers of the communications system is defined as a time master with which the remaining subscribers are synchronized. In order to allow for a synchronization of the communications system that is on the one hand as simple as possible and realizable at low cost and on the other hand is secure and reliable, the present invention provides for one subscriber to be defined as the main time master and at least one further subscriber to be defined as a reserve time master. The order of the reserve time masters is predefined in the event that more than one subscriber is defined as a reserve time master. First an attempt is made to synchronize all subscribers of the communications system with the main time master. If this fails, then in each case the next reserve time master in the predefined order is selected and the attempt is made to synchronize all subscribers of the communications system with the selected reserve time master until either the synchronization of the subscribers of the communications system is successful or a synchronization of the subscribers with the last reserve time master fails as well.
|METHOD AND DEVICE FOR EXCHANGING DATA BETWEEN AT LEAST TWO STATIONS CONNECTED TO A BUS SYSTEM - A method and a device for exchanging data in messages between at least two stations connected by a bus system. The messages contain the data being transmitted by the stations over the bus system. Each message contains an identifier characterizing the data contained therein. Each station decides on the basis of the identifier whether to receive the message. The messages are controlled in time by a first station. The first station repeatedly transmits a reference message over the bus in at least one specifiable time interval. The time interval is subdivided into time windows of a specifiable length, the messages being transmitted in the time windows.
|Method, Communication System, Multimedia Nodes, and Gateway for Transmitting Multimedia Data in MPEG Format - A method for transmitting multimedia data in MPEG format between multimedia nodes of a communication system via at least one communication link of the communication system. To configure the transmission of the multimedia data in the most efficient possible manner and to reduce the number of different communication systems in a vehicle, the MPEG multimedia data is transmitted via a FlexRay communication system according to the FlexRay protocol. For this purpose, the size of the payload segments of FlexRay data frames may be adjusted to the size of the MPEG data frames. The payload segment of a FlexRay data frame may be selected to be of the same size as the MPEG data frame, in particular 188 bytes long.
|MONITORING UNIT FOR MONITORING OR CONTROLLING USER ACCESS TO A DATA BUS AND USER HAVING SUCH A MONITORING UNIT - The present invention relates to a local monitoring unit, which is locally assigned to a bus controller of a user of a communication system, a central monitoring unit of a communication system for monitoring and/or controlling the access of multiple users to a data bus. An important feature of the provided monitoring concept is that the monitoring unit has a time basis of its own that is independent of a local time basis of a communication controller of the users and that is synchronized with a global time basis of the communication system. This separate local time basis is utilized in the monitoring unit to monitor and/or control the access authorization of the communication controller or of a bus driver to the data bus. In this way, sending conflicts of the users, in particular due to permanent disturbances in one or more users, may be reliably detected and prevented.
|Bus Guardian of a User of a Communication System, and a User of a Communication System - A monitoring unit which is locally assigned to a bus controller of a user of a communication system, for monitoring and controlling the access to a data bus. Bus controller accesses data bus via a bus driver, and monitoring unit monitors and controls the access authorization of bus driver to data bus. In order to detect also permanent disturbances of bus controller and resulting errors of bus controller when accessing data bus monitoring unit has an arrangement for implementing a question-answer communication with bus controller and that it enables the bus controller to access data bus only if the question-answer communication establishes a proper functioning of bus controller.
|CYCLICAL TIME-BASED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, USER IN SUCH A SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION METHOD - A cyclical time-based communication system, for the transmission of data (DATA) between users, comprising a databus and users connected thereto. The data transmission occurs within cyclical repeating timeframes, each with at least two timeslots. Each timeslot is provided for the transmission of a message (Ni). A message (Ni) comprises at least part of the data (DATA) and each message (Ni) is provided with a code (ID). The bandwidth available for data transmission may be better utilized, if the code (ID) is placed within the message(Ni), each message (Ni) is additionally provided with time information concerning the timeslot which may be extracted from the code, and at least one of the timeslots may be used for transmission of various messages in various cycles. In a preferred embodiment the information relating to the current cycle comprises an ordinal number. In the simplest case the number has two values 0 and 1.

Still time for races to gain substance
This year's political campaigns still have five weeks to go, but they already seem to have lasted forever. We might wish for more relevance and less vacuity on the stump. We also might wish we would win the lottery.
The race in the 9th U.S. House district, between 28-year incumbent Dem-ocrat Marcy Kaptur of Toledo and Republican entrepreneur Rich Iott, has turned out to be much more lively than a lot of people expected. If only the tone of the campaign matched its competitiveness.
Instead, both candidates are battling on the periphery of what voters identify as their chief concerns, such as jobs and taxes and economic recovery. In place of substance, we get slogans.
In a TV commercial, the Kaptur campaign accuses Mr. Iott of running Seaway Food Town "straight into the ground, selling it off for millions, closing our neighborhood stores and costing 5,000 people their jobs, their health care, their retirement."
A Blade investigation published last week made clear that's a bum rap: Food Town did well after Mr. Iott succeeded his father as the company's chief executive in 1996. The job losses didn't occur until two to three years after Seaway Food Town merged with Spartan Stores Inc. in 2000, when Mr. Iott no longer was calling the shots.
FactCheck.org, a project of the credible and nonpartisan Annenberg Public Policy Center, analyzed the TV ad separately and concluded it "misrepresents what happened to Food Town and its employees, and who was responsible for it."
At the same time, though, the closure of Food Town stores and Pharm drugstores after Mr. Iott sold the company doesn't bolster his claim of being a job creator. And his campaign attacks on Miss Kaptur have been no more high-minded.
When Mr. Iott isn't mouthing the standard GOP hiss-inducing lines (bulletin: Nancy Pelosi's name does not appear on the 9th District ballot), he is assailing Miss Kaptur's use of budget earmarks to steer federal spending to northwest Ohio.
I've conceded that earmarks make me uncomfortable, especially when their beneficiaries contribute to the campaigns of the lawmakers who provide them. But that's a long way from using earmarks as an excuse for an indiscriminate attack on federal spending, as Mr. Iott is doing.
And his assertion that Miss Kaptur is a rubber stamp for the Obama Administration's "failing agenda ... with little or nothing to show for it" ignores the tangible benefits that her seniority and influence have brought the district. Getting an effective return on the tax dollars we send to Washington is a better idea than continuing to hand those dollars to, say, the richest 2 percent of Americans.
I hope Miss Kaptur and Mr. Iott will find some other things to talk about during their Blade-sponsored debate tomorrow night. Of course, this is just a local race. Surely the statewide campaigns for governor and U.S. senator are more edifying, right?
Not hardly. During their first debate two weeks ago, Gov. Ted Strickland and his Republican challenger, John Kasich, continued to ignore the elephant (so to speak) in the room: the projected $8 billion deficit in next year's state budget.
Mr. Kasich emphatically asserts that taxes in Ohio are too high and need to be cut. He's been far more elusive about the specific steps he would take to balance the budget while economic recovery continues to elude our state.
Governor Strickland has been running far behind Mr. Kasich in the polls, but appears to be catching up. At least he has a four-year record on state budget and tax issues that voters can evaluate. But he isn't much more forthcoming about the unpleasant choices the state will have to make next year.
The other major contest - the Senate race between Republican Rob Portman and Democrat Lee Fisher - seems to have disappeared from the radar screen in this part of the state. Recent polls suggest that Lt. Gov. Fisher is substantially trailing Mr. Portman, a former budget director and trade representative under President George W. Bush.
But that doesn't mean the election is over. History suggests the gap inevitably will narrow by Election Day, as it has in the governor's race. Considering that whoever is elected president in two years likely will have to win Ohio, Democrats can't afford to write this race off.
The gubernatorial and Senate candidates will be in Toledo next week for debates. But if you just can't wait, absentee voting starts in Ohio on Tuesday.
That day, The Blade will begin publishing its recommendations in key contested races and on major ballot issues. This will reignite the perennial controversy over whether the newspaper should make political endorsements.
Many of you don't think we should, especially if we don't support your candidates. Don't try to tell us how to vote, you say - just give us "the facts" and we'll make up our own minds.
But we think that endorsements remain not only a valid but also a vital expression of our editorial voice. We take positions on public issues every day. It seems a logical extension of that role to offer our judgments of the people who would carry out those policies and spend your tax dollars.
We aren't racetrack touts, merely handicapping the races and trying to predict who will win. We try to identify the candidates we think would do the best jobs for the people of this region, state, and country.
We hope to give you something to think about before you go to the polls. But even if you want to use our endorsements as a guide to whom to vote against, as some of you say you do, we won't be offended. What's important is that you vote.
David Kushma is editor of The Blade.

AN: I am so sorry about how late I am posting this, I meant to have it up ages ago. There probably won't be another upload for a while though, I have finals this week.
Names used to mean very little to me. It wasn't until I met Andre that that changed. It wasn't until I held him in my arms as his heart blood stained the snow around us that I understood a names' true importance. It wasn't until I watched the light fade from his eyes, until I watched the spark die, and wished that I had been fast enough to take the arrow myself. Until I wished that I was the one with my blood spilling into the snow, with my light finally fading.
Chapter 4
I didn't meet the mysterious Andre for another few thousand years. I guess Rafael hadn't been kidding when he said that I wouldn't expect it. I found him 7,000 years after I lost Luca. Even after all the time that had passed, I still hadn't recovered from his death. I had spent the years in a sort of daze, going through the motions without any emotion behind them. I had known when I lost him that I would never truly be over him, but I hadn't understood it. I hadn't understood that I would go around in a daze for as long as the world would let me, until something shook me out of it. I thought that after a few centuries the memories would fade, that the pain would dull. I didn't know that it wasn't time that healed wounds; it was the people that you met over time that helped heal them.
Luca had been special, he might not have seemed that way to others but he would always be so to me; but if Luca was special than Andre couldn't have anything less than extraordinary. I only knew him for a week but in that time I got to know him better than some people could have in a year. I knew his hopes and fears, I knew what his dreams and nightmares were about, I knew everything that he had to live for, and I knew what would kill him.
To most he would appear to be a secretive person, but I could see through his bluffs and lies. At first I wasn't sure how, but on that last day I finally realized why.
I sat up quickly and at first I wasn't sure what had woken me. Then the details of my dreams came rushing back to me and I understood. This was the first time in years that I had dreamt of what had happened; of how I met Andre instead of just the moments of his death.
It's because of him that I call myself Andre now, instead of Tyrino. At first it was just because I needed a more modern name, later it was so that I never forgot the past. So that I wouldn't forget the mistakes that I was to foolish to see, the ones that I overlooked or discarded.
I was always slightly disoriented after dreaming about the events leading up to meeting him. Maybe because it was so long ago that it took that much effort for my brain to conjure up the images. Maybe it was because it was one of the few things in my past that I truly regretted. Or maybe it was just because I was overdue for it. It hardly mattered at this immediate moment. There was the much more pressing matter of Ashley to sort out
Normally I wouldn't be too worried about it. But I had fed from his last night and I already felt the pull to feed again. Once again, normally it would be no big deal; I can go a couple days without feeding without any ill effects. It was different this time. I didn't just have the urge to feed, I also had the compulsion to find Ashley, to find him and keep him. To make sure that nothing could hurt him and that he would be there. It wasn't because I actually wanted to protect him or keep him safe, but rather because after tasting his blood my instincts were in overdrive. My possessiveness was out of control and it wouldn't fade for at least a year. If I honestly thought that I could avoid him for a year I wouldn't be as worried. Given that he had found me twice in as many days I didn't hold out much hope.
That slim hope that I had kept was rapidly faded when I turned my head to see Ash leaning against the door frame. Seeing him there only reminded me of the council's interference. I wasn't sure who had put the tattoo on him; I would have to see the full design to be sure. I hadn't thought that there was anyone out there other than myself that could still do it. It was an almost impossible art to master.
The practice used to be much more common, back when there were more ancients still walking the Earth. However it was a secretive art that so few had the talent for and was such a closely guarded secret for those that did know how. It wasn't something that was passed down through the generations; perhaps one child every few centuries would be born with the ability to imbue the magic of a person into a tattoo. Very few of the children born with it did anything with their talents. For as long as I have been alive, there have only been 20 found and trained in the art. I wouldn't have thought that they would be powerful enough to do this. It isn't a talent that grows in strength as you age, you are born with the entire gift that you will ever have.
It was disturbing to say the least that not only had someone been trained in the art without my knowledge, but also that they were powerful enough to do this particular tattoo.
"Hey Angel, sleep well?" I continued staring at the outline of the tattoo that was visible. It didn't surprise me to know that he had broken in over the night. I hadn't expected anything less. I could only hope that he hadn't spent too much time poking around. There were things here that I didn't want anyone finding.
These things were items that I had collected over the years that I kept close to me. When I say items I am not truly being accurate, they are not mere possessions but actual sentient being entrusted to me for safekeeping. Most of them I kept safely hidden away with various enchantments protecting them in hard to find corners of the known world. However these were far too precious to trust with that. Many of them were the last of their kind, and they were entrusted to me. I had no intention of betraying that trust.
It wasn't that I was worried that the demon himself would take them, despite popular belief they actually were quite trustworthy, depending on who you were of course, I was worried of who he might accidently tell the information to. I would have to move soon, better to be safe than sorry. Not that it actually mattered to me, I had been planning on leaving soon anyways. Now I would just put more effort into finding a new city, and with it, a new identity.
"Angel, you're not listening to me are you?" the annoyed voice of the demon cut into my thoughts and I blinked until my gaze focused on him again. I didn't respond to his question, if he had had to ask it then he knew very well that I hadn't been paying attention. An unfortunate lapse on my part but given that he was there to protect me though I wasn't too worried about my safety. My real worry was how I was supposed to get him out and keep him out long enough for the phoenix to finally hatch. I'd been keeping the egg safe for the past 200 years and now that it was finally ready to hatch I couldn't risk anyone finding out about it. It wasn't really the hatchling I was worried about, it was the rest of the cities' inhabitants. They didn't have the best control as newborns and the little one would be more than capable of burning the city to the ground if it got frightened. It would only take a few weeks for it to grow up enough to leave and make its own way. But keeping the demon out of the way for the week was going to be easier said than done.
"Not yet, you'd think that after all this time you would have learned patience." The voice that spoke was amused, this wasn't the first time that his companion had wanted to go charging in, doubtless it wouldn't be the last.
There were five men around him. He considered them all to be his brothers, although one of them was still missing. It had taken centuries, but the six of them had managed to find each other again. The missing link was still there, they had watched him countless decades. But still it was not time to make their presence known. And regretfully it was not yet time to have him join them, no matter how much they wished it. He still had parts to play in the coming months, after he had fulfilled his rule, then maybe he would finally be able to join them.
That is if he could forgive them. He had no idea the true events that had occurred in the past. He would not know until certain events had happened and he must know before other events were to happen.
"If not know then when? When will it finally be time? What is it that we are waiting for?" the one who spoke had asked these questions before. The answers that he would receive each time were not the ones that he wanted.
"You will know when the time is right and the time will be right when the sword has left the ashes, when it rises up to take its rightful place and is struck down with fire and ice. We are waiting for the bells to toll their mourning cries, for the sky itself to weep with the passing of the last one who could be king. We are waiting for an empire to fall, we are waiting to see what will rise in its place." Silence met his words, five pairs of eyes watching him before returning to the scene before them; watching their lost brother with unreadable eyes.
The one who spoke turned away, twin tears fell from eyes. "I'm sorry my brother, with all my heart I wish that I could warn you, however I fear that while it is in my power it goes against the very thing that we all swore to protect. The one thing that you are the last hope for. Peace." The man turned back to his companions.
Not another word was spoken as the six sentries stared down; silent as they watched the events unfold.
"So what is your name anyways angel?" the question surprised me. I would have thought that the council would have at least told him my name. Although it wasn't really my name, it was just what I preferred to be called. I used to go by whatever caught my fancy. I would have a different name for each town. Only those closest knowing my true name. Those times had long since faded.
I'm not sure when it started. Probably when I realized how much power a name truly had. Names aren't just something that people use to identify you. They have power. More than you would think. If you have someone's name then you have a way to hurt them, to make them listen. All spells require a name. However not all names work.
It isn't the name that everyone calls you by that has power. It is your true name. I hadn't told anyone my true name in centuries. Not even Luca knew it. The last ones to know it had been the sentries. But they were gone now. And no matter how much I wished that I could be with them, I knew that that dream would not be achieved in this lifetime.
Looking Ashley in the eye, I told him, "you can call me Adrian."
He looked at me and I could tell that he knew that it wasn't my real name. I could see that he was going to push the matter, but a shot of power came out of nowhere. It wasn't one that I felt often, I sighed. Knowing that now I had to go calm the hatchling down.
I'm not quite sure how exactly it happened. One moment I was glaring at the demon who had taken up residence at my kitchen table. The next I had said demon shoving me into a corner as he pulled out a gun and a dagger.
I blinked a few times, I hadn't been expecting him to be able to move that fast. I had underestimated him, that wasn't a mistake that I like to make. I would really have to call a few contacts and figure out who exactly he was and what he was capable of. Mistakes like the one I had just made would get me killed. And despite what the council thought, I wasn't actually suicidal. I just…. There were times that I just didn't really care to live any more. It was more the promises that I had made that kept me alive. I fully recognize that. However, it doesn't matter why I want to keep living, the fact remains that I have no intention of dying quite yet. Although I'm not sure that the demon would believe me even if I told him so. He seemed like he would be stubborn like that.
I shoved him away from me after it became clear that he wasn't going to move on his own. Pointedly looking at him as I walked into the living room and over to the fireplace. Reaching I moved the vase out of the way and picked up the smooth black crystalline egg that was hidden there. Sometimes it was best to hide things in the obvious hiding places, people never seemed to look there anymore.
I ran my hands over it and let a tendril of power snake out to touch it. The unborn hatchling, now soothed, let out a clear note of power, mimicking the cry that it would make once it hatched. That time was sooner than I originally thought. I guess I would have to change my strategy. Instead of trying to make the demon go away, I would have to keep him with me at all times. If he was next to me than he couldn't tell anyone about the hatchling before it was old enough to look after itself. This was going to be a very long next few weeks.

Here is the saga of a people who call themselves the Clan of the Cave Bear; how they lived; the animals they hunted; the great totems they revered. But mostly it is the story of Ayla, the girl they found and raised, who was not like them.
To the Clan, her fair looks make her different - ugly. And she has odd ways: she laughs, she cries, she has the ability to speak. But even more, she struggles to be true to herself and, with her advanced intelligence, is curious about the world around her.
Although Ayla is clearly a member of the Others, she is nurtured by her adoptive parents, befriended by members of the Clan, and gradually accepted into the family circle. But there are those who would cast her out for her strange, threatening ways.
So the conflict between the ancient Clan, bound by heredity to its traditions, and the girl in its midst, of a newer breed destined to alter the face of earth, could never be resolved. And it is this same struggle that leads Ayla to venture where no Clan woman has ever dared. Driven by destiny and a will to survive, Ayla breaks the forbidden taboo.

©2004 Jean M. Auel; (P)2004 Brilliance Audio
"Imaginative, exciting." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Jean Auel has performed a minor miracle." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"Clan of the Cave Bear"
Jean Auel interacts early mankind with one of our own. The Pleistocene Ice Age is a grueling world to live in and all must learn to work together to survive.
A most superb tale of the different daily physical and mental roles between man and woman, their thought process and survival. How medicines were made, foods stored, tools and clothing designed all provided by nature. A hard life with joy and sorrow.
The book continuously picks up momentum and keeps one reading. Not simply a survival story as we know survivalist in our day in time but the story of lives. Humanity working together finding out the consequences of not working well together.
A myriad of logical emotion and strength. Although the narrator moves a bit quick for me it is an excellent listen. I will listen to it again.
"Worth an annual read"
I love this book. This is my third time through it, once reading and twice listening. Sandra Burr reads a little fast at times and some of the "voices" are not quite right, but this is still a very enjoyable edition of this most wonderful story. Sadly, Audible is missing the MIDDLE book of the five-book series. This one ranks right up there with the Outlander Series for me.
This book is one of those that once you start reading you don't want to put down. Chapter after chapter has new and interesting things happening between the people and culture of the clan and the Girl Ayla from the others. Highly recommended reading.
Wonderful story. I stumbled across this series when audible was offering a special on the first book in a select set of series. Thought I would give it a try since I had seen and loved the movie Clan Of The Cave Bear. Firstly ... I was surprised to find that it was a series. I fell in love with the "real Alya"! No comparison between the movie and the sieries. I immediately HAD TO HAVE all 5 books. So much was changed and even more was left out that I am still amazed. Well written and while the reader is on shaky ground with the first book ... she improves dramitaclly as she continues the series, finds her footing with it, and develops and makes distinct each character by book 5 ... adding to the charm of this wonderful story. So much so that I can not imagine anyone else reading it. I can't wait for the 6th book. Thank you audible for re-opening my love of the Clan and my interest in pre-history. Well worth listning to!
A good narrator can make a mediocre book come alive. I love having a story read to me - it's a wonderful escape.
"Sad to say..."
This could be a very good book, but it reads too much like a text book. The characters are good, believable and even enjoyable, but only towards the end of the book does the story line actually become interesting. It was laborious to even decide to keep listening. I wasn't crazy about the narrator, but I don't mind a mediocre narrator if the story is good. Since I did finish the book, I must admit the writing was good enough to make me care about what happens to the characters, but it might not be good enough to entice me to pick up the next book in the series.
I read like a madwoman all my life but now I have bad eyes. Thank goodness for audio books
"Narrator brings book to life"
I truly enjoyed this book when it first came out and now have listened to it in audio. It is one of the most researched historical novels of the early man on earth. The writer has captured the time and made a very enjoyable story while she was at it.
"Clan of the Cave Bear"
This is, by far, one of my favorite series. It begins with "Clan of the Cave Bear." Jean Auel brings us a detailed and wonderful saga, a poignant story that goes right to the heart. Like Beth, for me, it ranks up there with the "Outlander" Series by Diana Gabaldon. I do wish Audible would get the third book, "The Mammoth Hunters." It's weird to have a missing book, especially smack dab in the middle of the series.
Although the story is fantastic, I wish the narrator put a bit mroe emotion into the reading. At times, it was a bit stagnant. All in all, I enjoyed it very much and I'd certainly listen to it again.
"Loved it!"
This was a great listen. It was so interesting with compelling characters and intriguing lifestyle information. Just a great story and good choice if you like to listen while driving. My children were captivated by it too (minus the steamy sex scenes!)
"Narrator distracting"
I read these books year ago and thought they were great. Listening to them, I found the narrator to add little to the story, even frequently distracting me, with little variation in her voice characterizations. The story is unique and worth listening to, but I didn't find it as gripping as the book and can't recommend the narrator. I'm glad to have refreshed my memory about the story line but won't listen to it again.
I enjoy counter-terrorism, westerns, historical fiction, detective mysteries, and old school comedy like "A Christmas Story".
"Loved it"
I read all 3 novels over 25 years ago. I don't have the patience to write a proper review but this listen is great. Do you love history? How did we evolve?,,,,, presented in a totally entertaining way,,,,, without the boredom of typical boring history classes. Men, understand women in a different way from thousands of years of history. See women in awe and love and respect. I am now in the second book and can't wait for the 3rd. You may love this series!
"Love, love, love"
And love this story. Bet series ever. You have got to read it, it will make you mad and sad, happy, excited, shocked.
"Needs Pruning!"
I enjoyed some parts of this book very much. There is lots of interest, action and plot movement, the beginning is good, and the end is excellent. However I was very irritated by the amount of repetition and reiteration. I don?t normally buy abridged books as I love detail and description, but I did feel that this is one book that would benefit from sharper editing.
"fascinating and imaginative story"
This story was an insightful and imaginative look into a shared history.

Press release from Business Wire
VMworld® Attendees Reject Third-Party Virtual TAP Technology

 Ixia Survey shows VMworld® U.S. 2012 attendees prefer VMware and Cisco's native capabilities to acquire information from virtual environment for analysis with proven physical tools

Wednesday, September 05, 2012
VMworld® Attendees Reject Third-Party Virtual TAP Technology14:00 EDT Wednesday, September 05, 2012 SAN FRANCISCO (Business Wire) -- Virtual blind spots continue to be a major network visibility challenge for security and network engineers. Last week, VMworld® attendees confirmed that network monitoring, even in virtual environments, continues to be a challenge in protecting the security and performance of their networks. A survey conducted by Ixia (Nasdaq: XXIA) of more than 150 attendees at VMworld 2012 found that 86% of respondents preferred to gain visibility via native capabilities provided by VMware and/or Cisco, instead of purchasing additional Virtual TAPs, or vTAPs, from third-party vendors. This functionality, along with a network monitoring switch such as Ixia's Anue Net Tool Optimizer® (NTO), provides packet-level data to proven, trusted monitoring appliances. Other findings revealed: 98% of respondents agreed that visibility to monitor for security, performance and compliance in virtual environments is critical to virtualization success. 84% of those surveyed view the network monitoring switch, like the Anue NTO, as a critical component of the virtualization infrastructure. 82% plan to use a mix of virtual and physical monitoring tools to increase visibility into the virtualized environment, which is becoming a focus for virtualization teams. Identifying The Virtual Blind Spots "IT professionals understand the need for end-to-end visibility into their networks, but often do not realize the blind spots inherent in virtualization projects until it's too late," said Larry Hart, vice president of marketing and strategy, Ixia Network Visibility Solutions. "The market is full of so-called solutions to this problem, but our survey shows that these professionals want to use the proven monitoring tools they already own and trust." Even in virtualized environments, a company's security, application, performance and compliance professionals need access to packet-level data to perform accurate monitoring and troubleshooting. While some vendors have offered tools that TAP traffic between virtual servers, this requires an additional and unnecessary expense and costly overhead on server compute resources. A more cost-effective option is to use the capabilities provided by vendors such as VMware and Cisco to acquire information from a virtual environment for analysis. For additional information read The Virtual Blind Spot, a white paper with more information on best practices for monitoring virtual environments. About Ixia's Anue Net Tool Optimizer Ixia's Anue NTO provides complete network visibility into both physical and virtual networks, making it ideal for VMware and other virtualization environments. The Anue NTO can be used as an aggregation platform to provide packet-level data to all analysis tools, ensuring each tool gets exactly the physical and virtual data it needs for end-to-end network visibility. About Ixia Ixia provides the industry's most comprehensive converged IP network validation and network visibility solutions. Equipment manufacturers, service providers, enterprises and government agencies use Ixia's solutions to design, verify and monitor a broad range of wired, Wi-Fi and 3G/LTE equipment and networks. Ixia's test solutions emulate realistic media-rich traffic and network conditions so that customers can optimize and validate the design, performance and security of their pre-deployment networks.

Griffin ClearBoost case improves iPhone signal
Griffin has launched the "ClearBoost", an "antenna-boosting" case for iPhone.
According to the blurb, this "clever" case conceals a built-in booster antenna that captures more of the available wireless signal and sends it to the internal antenna of your iPhone.
The result apparently is a better signal, especially in "border" areas — which translates to fewer dropped calls, wider coverage areas, and faster downloads when browsing through your cellular connection.
To use, you just snap iPhone into ClearBoost's durable polycarbonate case. Your iPhone gets protection from real-world hazards, its antenna gets a boost and your street cred drops a coupla notches. $29.99.

The effects of dietary supplementation of a citrus bioflavonoid, naringenin, on the cholesterol metabolism were studied. For 42 days male rats were fed a 1% (wt/wt) high-cholesterol diet with or without a naringenin supplementation (0.1%, wt/wt) to study its effect on plasma lipid levels, hepatic lipid contents, activities of hepatic acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol O-acyltransferase (ACAT) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, and the excretion of fecal neutral sterols. Naringenin did not significantly alter the concentration of plasma triglycerides, but lowered the plasma cholesterol (3.80 vs. 3.12 mmol/l) concentration and the hepatic cholesterol content (70.3 vs. 54.0 mg/g) significantly (p < 0.05) compared to those of the controls. HMG-CoA reductase (1,879.0 vs. 1,715.0 pmol/min/mg) and ACAT activities (806.0 vs. 563.0 pmol/min/mg) were significantly lower in the naringenin-supplemented group than in controls. Naringenin supplementation caused a marked decrease in the excretion of fecal neutral sterols (242.9 mg/day) compared to the controls (521.9 mg/day). These results show that naringenin lowers the plasma and hepatic cholesterol concentrations by suppressing HMG-CoA reductase and ACAT in rats fed a high-cholesterol diet.
