In only a matter of weeks, the Ice Bucket Challenge raised a windfall. 220-million dollars for a disease many had never heard of, ALS.
Steve Perrin runs the "ALS Therapy Development Institute" in Cambridge. Ice Bucket Money is like a turbo-charge. This one lab, among many worldwide, received four million dollars and it's allowed researchers here to fund, in a matter of months, two new drugs for human testing.
"The two drugs we've funded probably wouldn't have been ready for clinicial development for two to three more years," said Perrin.
This lab is also using Ice Bucket Money to expand a program that tests patient skin cells in hopes of identifying different types of ALS. "The more data we have to understand and stratify and classify patients, the more successful we're going to be in getting the right drug to the right group of patients," said Perrin.
Originally capped at 25 patients, the program will now include 300, among them, Mike Wesolowski. "I have what seems to be a slowly progressing variant, at least so far we can tell," said Wesolowski.
Mike and his wife, Jenn, were on vacation last summer in Portugal. It was the height of the Ice Bucket Challenge craze, but ALS was the last thing on Mike's mind when, as he was climbing this castle wall, his body began to give out. In January, doctors diagnosed ALS.
"We would go out for dinner sometimes and our conversations would turn into tears," said Jenn.
Mike is doing everything he can to stay positive. But the thing that has been most empowering is being part of the research. Mike has high hopes for the information his skin sample will yield. "That it will really bring more understanding on molecular level, what's causing this and what can be done to slow it or stop it," said Wesolowski. "It's exciting."
And, for Mike and Jenn, that may be the most tangible outcome of the Ice Bucket Challenge, a sense that a viral sensation is fueling scientific momentum.
Pete Frates' mother, Nancy Frates (@momfrates), discusses the Ice Bucket Challenge, and the road to an ALS cure.
"The money we raised last year is increasing the speed to get drugs to trials," said Frates.
Almost a year after the first Ice Bucket Challenge, Frates said, "We've continued to raise money, and the ripple effect has continued."
The Ice Bucket Challenge won the Grand Prix for Good at the Cannes Lions Festival.
The Frates are determined to continue the Ice Bucket Challenge "Every August Until A Cure."
Berklee College of Music is known across the globe as the gold standard in music education. It's the largest independent college of contemporary music in the world, boasting about a-hundred grammy-award winning alumni.

"I felt totally elated...becuase it started here in Massachusetts," said Rosenberg.
Margaret Marshall, one of the key players in legalizing gay marriage in Massachusetts, doesn't like thinking about the "me" in making history.
Transgender rights are, "the next frontier here in Massachusetts," said Rosenberg. Right now, a transgender person in Massachusetts "can be denied the right to be served in a restaurant."
No Boston Olympics Co-Chair, Chris Dempsey (@cdempc), and Boston 2024 Communications Advisor, Doug Rubin (@dougrubin), discuss Boston 2024's revised plan for the Olympic games.
Dempsey, and Massachusetts residents, are most worried about the impact on taxes. "We need a hard guarantee that the IOC isn't going to be calling on Massachusetts tax payers," said Dempsey.
"It's easy to make promises now," said Dempsey. "It's much harder to come through."
Boston 2024 is focusing on the impacting legacy of the games. "We think at the end of the day this is a winning plan for Boston," said Rubin. "We believe that the benefits far outweigh the risks."

People were able to see the Northern Lights near Boston because "The solar storm, the attack that we were under from the sun, was particularly intense," said Beatty.
We can see the glow in the sky, "more often than you'd think," said Beatty. "About five to ten times a year."
And on June 30th, the distance between Jupiter and Venus in the sky will be "a third of a degree apart", said Beatty. "It is doggone pretty and I think people should go look for it."

Angel Echavarria has just experienced his first month of freedom in 21 years.
Echavarria was arrested in 1994 and convicted two years later of a murder in Lynn, Massachusetts. He was given a sentence of life without the possibility of parole, but always maintained his innocence.
Then, last month he was released during a bail hearing, after a judge determined the prosecution's case was weak and that his lawyer made errors that could have cost him his case decades ago.
A few days ago, prosecutors announced they would not re-try him.
Florence Graves, founding director of the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism at Brandeis University, has been investigating this case for the past ten years.
Graves and Echavarria talk the long fought battle for freedom, and readjusting to life outside of prison.
"The only thing that bothers me is that they're not apologizing," said Echavarria.

Former New Hampshire Governor, John Sununu (@GovernorSununu), discusses his new book, "The Quiet Man, the Indispensable Presidency of George H. W. Bush," and the 2016 Presidential race.
"I have too many friends running in this campaign," said Sununu. "I'm probably not going to endorse anybody. I'm out making sure that the world sees what a good president George Herbert Walker Bush was."
On Clinton's chances at the Democratic nomination, Sununu said, "I think there's a 70 percent chance she will, but not much more than that."
The flag outside the South Carolina capital may be coming down, but there are far tougher issues that re-emerged there.
Charleston mayor Joseph Riley had a message not terribly popular in his home state. "It is insane, the number of guns and the ease of getting guns in America. It just doesn't fit with the other achievements of this country," said Riley.
The Governor's head of Health and Human Services, Marylou Sudders (@MLSudders), the medical director for substance use disorders at Mass. General Hospital, Dr. Sarah Wakeman, and President of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO, Steve Tolman (@StevenATolman), discuss Governor Baker's 65 step plan to tackle Massachusetts' opioid epidemic.
"I think the most important game changer is that we need to see substance abuse as an illness," said Sudders. "This is a public health crisis...and we need to treat it as a chronic medical condition and we need to focus on public awareness, education, intervention, treatment and recovery. The entire spectrum."
During the press conference, Governor Baker cited Steve Tolman as the first person to start talking about this in a serious way. "I saw the devastation. I talked to the moms and dads...you saw the heartache in the households and one thing led to another," said Tolman.
"No patient that I see ever thought that they would become a heroin addict," said Dr. Wakeman. "Kids are now experimenting with pills the way they used to experiment with marijuana or alcohol."

Sports psychology consultant, George Mumford (@gtmumford) struggled with heroin addiction in his twenties, but went on to become a nationally recognized teacher of mindfulness mediation. Mumford has worked with prison inmates and NBA legends like Michael Jordan.
He outlines his approach in 'The Mindful Athlete,' which drops references to Greek mythology, Carlos Castaneda, and the classic TV series Kung Fu.
Mumford says mindfulness most resonates with, "people who are curious or who are committed to excellence or people in a lot of pain."
Pope Francis' long-awaited encyclical letter on climate change was released today. He described it as a global problem with far reaching environmental and social consequences, and blamed apathy and greed.
In one passage, the pope wrote: "The earth, our home, is beginning to look more and more like an immense pile of filth."
There has been widespread reaction to the Pope's message, including from presidential candidates.
Author, James Carroll, and Former Boston Mayor, Raymond Flynn, weigh in on Pope Francis' message.
Flynn said, "This isn't something coming out of the clear blue sky. This is something he's been committed to for a long time."
"[Encyclicals] are statements that really challenge the conscious of catholics. It isn't true that catholics always say yes," said Carroll. "So for the pope effectively embrace the question of climate change..has profound meaning for the Catholic Church."
Jonathan Dos Santos's coach, Paris Cherry (@PastorPCherry12) speaks out on the Dorchester murder.
"He was a kid who didn't fit the criteria of an at risk youth," said Cherry. "He really talked about wanting to do something positive with his life."

WGBH Art's Editor Jared Bowen (@JaredWGBH) and Film Critic Garen Daley discuss the summer trend in movie remakes.
WGBH's Stephanie Leydon introduces us to two new Greater Bostonian. These two men hope to influence the evolution of a country with something many of us would be delighted to donate.
Children in Rwanda typically don't start school until age seven, and even then might not so much as touch a book. Parfait Gasana was born in a refugee camp. His parents fled the 1994 Rwandan genocide that left an estimated 800,000 people dead.
"illiteracy contributed to some degree to the negative history that took place," said Gasana. "The genocide that took place where the old regime was able to influence people who have no educational background basically."
English is now one of Rwanda's official languages and Parfait sees picture books as powerful teaching tools. "I read Curious George. I'm going to be honest here. I didn't know English -you could see signs, you could see what he was doing"
It's how he learned English when he arrived in the U.S. at age twenty-three. He then went on to UMass Boston where he earned a Masters Degree in International Relations, and teamed up with a fellow student to launch a plan to get books to children in Rwanda.
Wade Cedar grew up in Newburyport, a world away from Rwanda. But like Parfait, grew up without a permanent home, living at one point in the family minivan. "I found education to be my outlet as well. So when he said he wanted to do something to give these children an opportunity - I couldn't turn it down"
They found an early ally in UMass Boston Dean Ira Jackson. Parfait and Wade landed in Rwanda's capital city, Kigali last summer with their bags filled with books. They set up the Kigali Reading Center, where kids gather for songs and stories and they can borrow books to take home.
"We had droves of children running down the street barefoot because we were handing out books out of a backpack. And endless, endless children calling out to more friends. They just kept coming. We ran out of books we didn't have enough. It was amazing," said Cedar.
Books changed Parfait and Wade's lives, and they believe they can do the same for Rwanda. The Kigali Reading Center now has thousands of books, and more are on the way.
"We hope that we're planting a seed in human capital," said Cedar. "Once we give these children the tools, they teach the next generation."
Last month, Steve Pagliuca, who made millions turning companies around at Bain Capital took over as chairman of Boston 2024, as that organization looked for a turnaround of its own.
Today, for the first time since getting involved in the Olympics effort, Steve Pagliuca spoke in public about Boston 2024, at an event hosted by BostInno. He addressed Olympic critics, and those who say that the concept of a "walkable" games isn't feasible, now that some events would be held in New Bedford.
Dorchester Reporter reporter, Lauren Dezenski (@LaurenDezenski), and Boston City Councilor, Josh Zakim (@joshzakim), discuss the evolving Olympic bid. "If you look at this bid 2.0 conversation," says Dezenski, "we still need to see more." "My number one concern is...we don't want to be on the hook for cost overruns," says Zakim. "We don't want to be spending gobs of money on this."
Of all the artists in the United States, only one can be the US representative in this year's Venice Biennale, the splashiest, most renowned contemporary art event in the world. That artist is Joan Jonas, a video and performance art pioneer. Ever since Jonas acquired her first video camera in 1970, much of her art has been committed to the screen.
"She came up during a time when many artists in New York's downtown scene were undertaking a range of different experimental practices that went outside of the studio and into the landscape, working with the body, working in dance, working in ephemeral forms, that she was very much part of," said Henriette Huldisch, curator of MIT's List Visual Arts Center, which is looking back at her career with a retrospective running through July 5. Jonas has "always pushed forward," said Huldisch, "You can see both a real arch and a real development but also an incredible consistency of imagery and motifs throughout her work."
These qualities have made her, including at age 78, consistently contemporary. And they are the reason why Paul Ha, the director of the List Center, thought Jonas was a natural to serve as the U.S. representative to this year's Venice Biennale.
"She actually didn't want to do it," said Ha, "She didn't want me to submit."
Modest to a fault, Jonas was chosen, and a collection of new work is now on view at the U.S. pavilion.
"If you're fortunate enough to experience her performances, you see how contemporary she is, and by using modest means: video projection, sound, musicians joining her," said Ha.
Jonas' colleagues point out that her pieces are in no way autobiographical. But they are very much inspired by place, including her annual sojourns to Nova Scotia.
"She draws a lot of source of inspiration from nature," Huldisch said "There's a sense of mystery. She is incredibly inspired by literature, myth, fairytale, but other kinds of fictional storytelling as well."
"Volcano Saga," featuring a young Tilda Swinton, is Jonas's interpretation of an Icelandic myth.
"One of the things she was particularly interested in was that this saga features a female protagonist, which is very, very rare if you look at myth and legends of the world," said Huldisch.
Sometimes it's lonely at the vanguard. Jonas spent most of her career without major museum recognition, until now, when the world is watching and the response has been rapturous.
Masterpiece Mystery! host and 'Good Wife' actor, Alan Cumming (@Alancumming), discusses his emotional memoir 'Not My Father's Son.' The memoir explores Cumming's painful childhood, an exploration into his ancestry and his emotionally and physically abusive father.
"He would get me to do something that I couldn't do...and then of course I would fail at it," Cumming recounted, "And I would know he was going to hit me...but also I knew that he was intending me to fail before I did it, so it was mental torture as well."

Healthy relationships are the product of two individuals who are responsible for their own emotional health and who have something to give to a relationship. The relationship is the vessel that we build to hold and cultivate our best selves. When we are not driven by need, we have the opportunity to give freely, not measuring what we get back against what we give. We have the courage to look at ourselves honestly and the willingness to be held accountable to what we aspire to become. The late Caryl Rusbult, coined the term the "Michelangelo Effect" to describe this dynamic of close intimate relationships in her 30 plus years of research. Her studies demonstrated that love thrived and endured when the relationship's meaning was interpreted through each partner's ability to focus on and achieve the personal growth that was held dear.
Michelangelo approached his art with this same eye of love. He said "In every block of marble I see a statue as plain as though it stood before me, shaped and perfect in attitude and action. I have only to hew away the rough walls that imprison the lovely apparition to reveal it to the other eyes as mine see it." His work of setting free the figures that were sleeping inside the stone is the embodiment of love as art. His mastery and genius was the product of what he himself called: "eternal patience," which reflects volumes of truth about what it takes to make love and marriage work in our lives.
Loving relationships of all kinds, whether with romantic committed partners, parents, children, siblings or friendships are the most gentle and effective teachers that life offers us to become the person we aspire to be. Accepting the flaws in the people we love and working with them is the same sculpting work that Michelangelo faced within his blocks of stone. Like a master stone cutter, we learn to discern minor imperfections from the deeper flaws that the "eternally patient" hand of love is able to integrate into the greater beauty of the piece. We create beauty from the inherent difficulties of loving the flaws and imperfections in each of us. This is the heart of a happy marriage.

Comments about Danner Workman GTX 6" Alloy Toe Work Boots:
Overall the best boot I've owned. I spend most of my day on concrete or steel grating and they have been comfortable every day. They do seem a little narrow so if there is some question on width I would go to the EE. I've worn these every day for three years and am extremely pleased with the quality and comfort. I've just ordered a replacement pair of 6" Quarrys but will keep these for around the house work (if I don't like the Quarrys I will just resole these and continue on).

Right, so is there another tool that will allow me to read Xbox backups in my computer (other than xISO) ? I've realised that after installing the Daemon Tools Manager or Alcohol 120% (which installs Daemon automatically) for mounting virtual drives -- all versions of xISO stop working and can't recognize my DVD drive at all (gives me an error). So I was wondering if there is another tool that will allow me to still read backups on my computer.
Any Alternatives To Xiso?

This metropolitan area includes Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater, all of which surround Tampa Bay. The area is varied and cosmopolitan with a pleasant climate and balanced local economy. A 1980's building boom brought downtown Tampa skyscrapers, a major airport renovation, and the development of a cruise-ship terminal. While soft in the early part of the decade, the economy has gained traction recently as the benefits of a business-friendly climate have paid off. Among other new economy pursuits, the area has become a favorite as a secondary location for information processing for the financial industry.
There are plenty of amusement parks, museums, outdoor activities, and major-league professional sports, including baseball (Devil Rays), football (Buccaneers), and hockey (Lightning). Nearby beaches and especially those to the south near Bradenton are attractions for locals and tourists alike. Transportation and air service are excellent. Beachside areas in Clearwater and St. Petersburg are tastefully developed, with palm-tree lined boulevards and pockets of interesting restaurants and shops. These areas tend to be more geared to retirees, especially coastal Clearwater. More family-oriented suburbs and extensive commercial areas like Brandon and Valrico are located east of Tampa.
The cost of living is reasonable, but housing has followed the Florida boom and median home prices have increased markedly. Downsides include the stubbornly high violent crime rate, and typical growth-related issues of traffic and poor air quality.
The flat, coastal plain has coastal grasses, palm trees, and white sand, and much of it has an elevation of less than 15 feet. Most of the city area and coast is built up, with coastal plain forests of pine and laurel mixed with orchards and other agricultural uses inland. The Pinellas Peninsula, separating Tampa Bay from the Gulf, is an area of broad, sandy beaches and palm trees. Clearwater and St. Petersburg are located here. Summers are long, warm, and humid. Afternoon highs reach 90 degrees, with moderating afternoon sea breezes and frequent thunderstorms, and warm evenings in the 70's. Lightning is abundant; in fact, "Tampa" is a misspelling of a Native American term for "sticks of fire" (lightning). Winters are mild with temperatures in the 60's and 70's, and lows rarely below 50.
As of 2014, Dunedin's population is 35,339 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of -4.80 percent.
The median home cost in Dunedin is $152,400. Home appreciation the last year has been 10.90 percent.

Open access to scholarship, that is, making scholarship freely available to the public via the Internet without subscription or access fees, is a natural fit for legal scholarship given our tradition of making government and legal information available to citizens, and the many benefits that flow from freely disseminating information for its own sake. Law schools, journals and scholars should espouse the principle of open access to legal scholarship, not only for the public good, but also for the enhanced visibility it provides journals and authors. Open access can be accomplished by archiving digital works in online institutional repositories. Legal scholars have enjoyed the benefits of open access to working paper repositories such as SSRN for more than ten years—even if they have not thought of this practice as 'open access.' It is a natural progression for legal scholars to now self-archive published works as well, and they are beginning to do so as awareness grows of the benefits of providing open access to published legal scholarship. Institutional repositories provide new ways to publish student scholarship, empirical data, teaching materials, and original historical documents uncovered during the research process. Author self-archiving does not threaten the existence of law school-subsidized journals, and institutional repositories generate new audiences for legal scholarship, including international and multidisciplinary audiences. Not insignificantly, repositories also help preserve digital work. Law schools are discovering that the publicity and download counts generated by repositories provide new ways to measure scholarly impact and reputation. Approximately 40% of U.S. law schools now have some form of institutional repository, all of which are indexed by Internet search engines. Law schools seeking to establish institutional repositories enjoy a variety of options to choose from, ranging from proprietary applications like Digital Commons, SSRN's Legal Scholarship Network, the Berkeley Electronic Press' Legal Repository, and NELLCO's Legal Scholarship Repository, to open source applications like EPrints and DSpace.

New school lures Olney's Sullivan
Coach to head startup program in College Station
One of the area's most successful basketball coaches is departing to start a program from scratch in a bigger environment.
On Thursday, Olney's J.D. Sullivan accepted the boys head basketball coaching position at College Station High School, a Class 3A school opening in August.
Sullivan leaves Olney after 14 years and 362 victories, guiding the Cubs to a 2A state tournament appearance, two regional finals and 10 district championships.
"It doesn't seem like it's been that long," said Sullivan, who has 391 career wins. "The thing I'll remember the most about Olney is the relationships. There are kids from my first year here that I still talk to.
"The fruits of your labor are great, but when your time here is done, it's all about the relationships you have made."
Playing at the Class A level the past two seasons, Sullivan's teams were highly ranked and had a combined record of 61-11, but both times Olney fell short of a regional tournament berth.
"The disappointing thing is that they didn't make it to Austin, and I think they deserved it," Sullivan said. "The last two years, those guys worked hard enough and deserved it. And they were so close." Only Nocona's J.D. Mayo and Burkburnett's Danny Nix — who Sullivan played for in high school — have more victories among area boys basketball coaches.
Sullivan turned down the A&M Consolidated coaching job two years ago, but when he did, the school district informed him that a new high school would be opening. That gave Sullivan some time to think about whether he wanted to leave Young County.
College Station High School will only have freshmen and sophomores next year, but every sport except football will compete at the varsity level. Sullivan said the school is expected to move up to 4A in two seasons.
"I'm excited about starting new traditions at a new high school," Sullivan said. "Anytime you do something new, you get a little bit of an adrenaline rush."
Olney won't only need to replace its basketball coach. When the school lost its baseball coach three years ago, Sullivan stepped in to run that program, too.
Before arriving at Olney, Sullivan was the head basketball coach at Electra for two years and LaGrange for one. He has won state championships as Olney's golf coach in 2000 and 2001 and as an assistant on Waxahachie's 1992 football title team.
Olney will graduate three senior starters off this year's team but returns one of the area's best forwards in Derrick Paul (20.8 points, 12.2 rebounds) and the area's top 3-point shooter, Bret Johnson.

1. Field of the Invention
ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) networks supply connectionless data communication traffic by means of BDS (Broadband Data Service). Private local networks LAN (Local Area Networks) can be connected to the ATM network for exchanging traffic with other local networks. The present invention relates to a modification of ATM networks in order to emulate local networks so the ATM network in a simple way can manage the local network traffic, i.e. both public and private data communication services over ATM.
2. Discussion of the Background
According to previous technology one has been depending on the fact that local network traffic first is analyzed in certain nodes in the ATM network. This analysis is taking a lot of time as far as it results in an address solution, the result of which must be sent back to the customers in the local network, at which these themselves establish channels to addressees. Consequently the ATM network only functions as catalog for an address solution. A number of previous patent documents relate to this technology.
U.S. Pat. No.5,280,481 relates to a method and a device for making use of for instance MAC-protocol (Media Access Control) for communication over an ISDN network (Integrated Services Digital Network). This is effected by the ISDN network emulating a local network by converting it by means of the method and the device. The MAC addresses are managed in the interface.
EP,A1 0 473 066 describes a system for interconnection of different local networks via an ATM network. The connection is performed by means of bridges which by means of internal tables decide the destination address and by means of VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) transmits the frame, which is divided into cells, through the ATM network.
U.S. Pat. No. 5.088.090 shows a system for the interconnection of local networks by means of bridges. The bridges, which detect whether transparent routing or source routing is to be used, perform the connection on MAC-level.
EP, Al 0 511 144 relates to a method and a device for connection of local networks to a WAN (Wide Area Network). The connection is performed by means of a so called concentration node in the local network, which node is used for making a network node interface towards the local network, and an end node towards WAN with possibility of local addressing.
The mentioned documents present different ways of connecting traffic between local networks and other networks, for instance ATM. In all cases different ways of managing the local addresses are treated.
In contrast to the previously known technology the nodes which receive the local network traffic according to the invention act as both relays and address dissolvers. The address solution constitutes a side effect of the relay's operation. By this the system according to the invention can rapidly transmit local network traffic through the network, at the same time as it can tell the customers how they can chose alternative signaling routes over the ATM-network for future traffic.
According to the present invention an arrangement for local network emulation service over public connectionless ATM data network is supplied. Local networks which want to communicate are connected to the ATM network. The ATM network makes use of BDS for data transmission, at which servers attend to switching functions for routing and connection of data traffic.
According to the present invention, servers function both as address dissolvers for local network addresses and local network relays for routing of the local network traffic.
The invention is presented in more details in enclosed patent claims.
The invention will now be described in details with reference to the enclosed figures, where
FIG. 1 schematically shows the construction of the networks,
FIG. 2 presents the relation between local addresses and BDS addresses,
FIG. 3 shows a routing table in BDS,
FIG. 4 presents a standard address structure,
FIG. 5 shows address structures for local network emulation according to the invention,
FIG. 6 presents local network emulation layers,
FIG. 7 shows local network emulation routing and data bases according to the invention,
FIGS. 8 and 9 presents protocol data units according to the invention.
FIG. 1 shows the connection of a local network to an ATM network via a BDS network. The BDS network comprises BDS servers and BDS terminals. The BDS terminals also act as bridges to local networks. The local networks are preferably private and use the ATM network for data communication with each other. The ATM network is also used for public traffic. The present invention relates to a modification of the ATM network and especially the function of the BDS servers for simplifying the addressing and communication between the local networks.
We will first have a look at the relations between the addressing structures in the local networks and in BDS. In local network surroundings MAC addresses (Media Access Control) are practically always used. These addresses have 48 bits and are uniquely associated to a respective unit, i.e. they do not reflect the network topology. Within the ATM network E164-addresses are used which have 64 bits and reflect the network topology, like telephone numbers.
FIG. 2 is a chart which presents the relation between the addressing system. We can make the following observations.
For local network emulation end stations there is a direct equivalence between MAC-addresses and E164-addresses (for instance MACa to E164a)
For local network emulation stations which emulate MAC-layer bridges there can be more MAC addresses which form a unit in the BDS system (for instance MACd, MACe and MACf corresponding to E164d). This depends on the way the bridge wants to notify MAC addresses on the other side (for instance MACe and MACf) for the local network emulation group.
MAC addresses may be regarded as pseudonyms for E164 addresses.
A local network emulation MAC address system indentifies a special local network emulation group, and it is possible that a MAC address exists in different local network emulation groups, i.e that the MAC addressing systems of local network groups are intersecting each other (this is not shown in FIG. 2).
Some units which are identified by the BDS system are not to be seen from the local network emulation system (for instance E164e and E164f). These units can be either BDS terminals which do not supply local network emulation services, or BDS servers.
There may be more systems for each of the system types in FIG. 2. This is to a great extent dependent on how the name giving and addressing is organized and administered.
In the original BDS service, the routing was based on the combination <source-E164-address, destinations-E164-address> and the assumption that all BDS terminals used one and only one BDS process. According to the invention we now define the following for supporting the local network emulation service in BDS: We are using the original BDS routing table as is shown in FIG. 3.
We use the combination <MAC,LEG> as pseudonyms for E164 addresses. LEG (LAN Emulation Group) are symbolic numbers which are used for relating MAC- and E164 addresses to each other. An E164 address can have more pseudonyms, but a pseudonym can not exist for more than one E164 address. This means that a station equipped with more ATM interfaces should not register the same <MAC+LAG> on different interfaces, unless it is not accepted that they are interfering with each other's routing information in servers.
For making the server able to distinguish between <E164> and <MAC,LEG>, the address codings of the original BDS scheme must be modified. This can be performed by giving all addresses within the BDS system a tag specifying the used address system. The new coding is described later. By establishing <MAC,LAG> pseudonyms to the original <E164> routing databases, BDS can be used for implementing local network emulation services.
According to the invention the local network emulation service is supported over AAL5 (ATM Adaption Layer 5). It is then an advantage to modify the BDS network in a way that some ISO/OSI configuration managing protocols can be used.
Especially ISO9542 specifies a routing information exchange protocol between end systems (End Systems ES) and intermediate systems (Intermediate Systems IS) and ISO10589 specifies a similar information exchange among intermediate systems. In the standards service access points NSAP (Network Serviced Access Points) and points of attachments for subnetwork SNPA (Subnetwork Points of Attachments) are defined. In order to make it possible to use ISO9542 for routing and configuration managing of BDS over AAL5, the sublayers have been somewhat modified so the BDS protocol can be regarded as a layer 3c and AAL5 as a layer 3b. By that the selected ISO protocols can be used with very small or no changes.
In a subnetwork a catalog function must exist in the routers so that SNPA-points can be explicitly derived from NSAP addresses. In the BDS service we presume a subnetwork of completely connected BDS-servers. The only translating address solution needed is the one where new logical channels VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) are collected for a new <source E164, destination E164>.
A consequence of establishing relations between <E164> and <MAC,LEG> is, accordingly, the possibility to route on the basis of the latter in the public domain (even if <MAC,LAG> in the public domain are regarded as NSAP addresses, as explained below). One might even state that MAC addresses are the only perfect NSAP addresses so far defined, because MAC addresses have no relation whatsoever to underlying routing mechanisms.
According to the standardized addressing principles the relation between NSAP and SNPA can be one-to-one, one-to a multiple, or a multiple to a multiple. This relation is explicitly decided by a network address catalog function in systems where such translations are relevant. In ISO8348 Addendum 2 network addressing is defined and specified in all details.
As is shown in FIG. 4 the NSAP address structure 1 5 consists of maximally 20 octets of two basic parts:
1. The initial domain part (IDP) and
2. The domain specific part (DSP)
The function of IDP is to specify a subdomain of the global network's addressing subdomain, and to identify the authority which is responsible for allocation of network addresses in this specified subdomain. IDP consists of two parts, AFI (Authority and Format Identifier) and IDI (Initial Domain Identifier).
In ISO8473 Addendum 2 is specified that the AFI values 00-09 are reserved and will not be assigned to specify a certain authority or format. AFI values starting with the FIG. 0 are intended for special cases, such as;
a change to another addressing scheme,
a technology for optimizing NSAP address coding;
a way to indicate that a field which normally would have kept a whole NSAP address now keeps something less than a whole address, for instance a shortened form used for communication with a special subnetwork milieu.
ISO8473 Addendum 2 consequently only reserves the AFI values 00-09 and do not specify how they might be used. According to the invention the NSAP addresses are specified as shown in FIG. 5.
AFI=00 indicates a public connectionless data service user. The following two AFI values, 01 and 02, indicate alternative ways of using MAC addresses over the BDS network. For AFI=01 is only used <MAC>; AFI=02 gives an NSAP address <MAC,E164>.
At each intermediate system the server examines the local network emulation addresses to appoint next jump in the path to the goal end system and puts the SNPA address (VPI/VCI) for next intermediate system in the VPI/VCI-field of the server cells. In order to find the suitable logical path VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) is <MAC,LEG> used as a pseudonym for an E164 table, where this information is available. In the standard, address resolutions occur within the network address catalog function NADF (Network Address Directory Function) on the basis of both destination- and source addresses, as for the BDS-server.
The function of the E164 addresses from a configuration managing point of view is somewhat more complicated, because they in BDS are regarded as NSAP addresses, whereas they outside BDS should be defined as SNPA addresses. In the standard there are even a special NSAP address structure which is defined especially for managing E164 SNPA addresses. Since we in the BDS domain treat E164 addresses as NSAP addresses we can, hovewer, use the standardized routing and configuration managing technology. This does not prevent that units in higher layers regard this address as a basis for deriving any SNPA addresses.
The local network emulation layer at end stations and bridges equipped with ATM-interface is shown in FIG. 6. There are two possible ways of transferring data from MAC service interface. One is to use signalled logical channels SVC (Signalled Virtual Circuits), and the other is to use the BDS-service. For signalled logical channels a connection is established and data is tranferred by use of AAL5. For BDS no connection managing is required from the local network emulation layer's point of view,
LAN emulation stations and end stations need to maintain the following configuration information, as is shown in FIG. 7.
1. Destination addresses, which are indexed with the combination <destination-MAC-address, destination -LAN-emulation group>. The E164 address is for signalled logical channels. If no channel is established, and the it communication accordingly occurs through the BDS server, normal-VPI is ="BDS".
2. Source-groups, which hold information about local network emulation groups at which the local network emulation station is registered. This information, the use of which is a local matter, is maintained by ESH protocol data units ESH PDU (End System Hallo Protocol Data Unit) from the server.
3. BDS server destination addresses, which consist of servers which are available for local network emulation over ATIM. The choice of server might be based on different service quality values QOS (Quality of Service) and might be defined as a part of the initial phase for logical local network stations which have signalling ability. The information about available servers are obtained outside the band (for instance by explicitly configuring host data bases at the stations).
In FIG. 7 are also shown BDS server databases, which take bi-directed, semi-permanent logical paths to local network emulation stations and to other servers. The databases are:
1. Local destination addresses, which are indexed by the combination <destination-MAC-address, local network emulation group>. The table contains routing information about local network emulation stations which are served by this server. Notice that it is not necessary that the logical channel identifiers VPI at this data base must be BDS if the server is implemented as a real overlaying BDS network, since the logical path should need to be over a logic channel switch/cross-connection.
2. Destination addresses level 1, which are indexed as the former. E164-addresses are to local network emulation stations and not to other BDS servers.
3. Destination addresses level 2, which are indexed by <local network emulation group>.
When a local network emulation end station is connected to a switch, it will register itself to its normal server by means of an ESH (End System Hello) protocol data unit PDU to this server. This ESH PDU is sent back to the transmitting local network emulation managing unit by a configuration message function (in accordance to ISO9542) at the server, which quite simply sends ESH PDU back to the specifically addressed MAC/E164 local network emulation end station.
ESH protocol data units are constructed as follow: The SAL indicator (Segment and Reassembly Layer) for this MAC-address must be 16, so the SA-field contains a combination <AFI/IDI=02+MAC-address, local network emulation group number> corresponding to the local network emulation end station. The original E164-address which indicates port- and switch identity at the virtual local network station and nothing else, is exclusively derived by the server by its knowledge from which local channel the ESH protocol data unit originated.
According to FIG. 8 we presuppose 8 octets for representing group numbers. This is in line with the E164 group number scheme. Name giving conventions for logical local networks might be in accordance with Internet, for instance A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.
ESH protocol data units can be transferred in one out of two different ways, but always direct on AAL5 over reserved logical subchannels (VCI=9542).
The local network emulation managing unit constructs an ESH protocol data unit, which is sufficiently small for fitting on one single cell (inclusive AAL5 trailer). The available payload in a one cell AAL5 protocol data unit is 40 octets (53 -5 -CRC32-check length=40).
The local network emulation managing unit transmits it via AAL5-messages which are longer than one cell (for instance in the case with more source adresses/local network emulation groups).
The first method is preferred in order to minimize the processing in servers and should give a F-flow mechanism for the local network emulation service over BDS. This F-flow mechanism will now be called "F-LAN".
If the local network emulation end station represents a bridge, for instance to an Ethernet, it can also wish to register more MAC addresses on its E164-address, for instance for each new MAC-address which is registered by the bridge for the Ethernet side a new ESH protocol data unit shall be tranferred by the local network emulation layer configuration unit to the ATM-side, if the F-LAN-mechanism is used, otherwise a longer AAL5-packet can be used for the same purpose, but in an AAL5-piece.
As a result of the ESH protocol data unit the server registers the following information in its local database: <E164 MAC-address, local network group>. All database posts in servers which contain E164 address posts originating from local network emulation end stations are consequently equipped with references to emulated local networks to which they belong, as references to MAC addresses are associated with the E164 address. If a local network emulation station belongs to more than one virtual local network, it will be registered twice in the local routing database, because the registration is made per NAP, which is defined as a combination <MAC-address+local network emulation group>.
Each local network emulation end station reports continuously, with a frequency decided by a configuration clock in ISO9542-units, about its accessibility to the normal server.
Whenever a server registers a new post in its local database, it will issue a configuration message to other servers. This is also performed by means of an ESH protocol data unit as above, but with certain modifications.
The address resolution occurs as a side-effect according to the following. When resolution of a MAC-address to an E164-address occurs in servers, the server sends back a redirect protocol data unit RD PDU (Redict PDU) with the result to the initiating local network emulation end station. The redirect protocol data unit is shown in FIG. 8 with the following interpretation: "Destination address" is <MAC+LEG>(alternatively only the MAC-address need to be specified, i.e. AFI/IDI=01) and "sub network address" is the E164-address which can be used for establishing a signalled logical subchannel. Notice that in this case the E164-address is used for deriving an SNPA-address by which the signalled logical subchannel is established.
Alternatively the local network station which receives the redirect protocol data unit can use the E164-address over the BDS-system, without local network emulation, i.e. by composing an NSAP-address <(AFI/IDI=00)+E164> out of the received SNPA E164-address.
For this redirect protocol data unit the additional selection field is set to the octet 1=100 0011 (QOS in accordance with ISO8473) and the octet 2=01 (source address specific QOS in accordance with ISO 8473) 00 0001 (MAC-address resolved).
The size of the redirect protocol data unit is 40, i.e. it fits in the F-LAN-mechanisms.
At jamming in the BDS-network the server issues, as a counteraction means, redirect protocol data units to the local network emulation end stations and strongly recommends that they establish signalled logical channels to goal local network emulation stations or groups of end stations (see FIG. 8). For this protocol data unit the additional selection field is set to octet 1 =1100 0011 as above, and the octet 2=0100 0010 ("Establish logical channel to E164").
At transmission of data the local network emulation unit has two choices: Either it will use a signalled logical subchannel to the goal local network end station, or, if no logical channel is found, it will use the BDS-service with its implicated VPI=BDS. The local network emulation end station can combine use of the BDS-service with the establishing of a signalled logical channnel parallelly.
Charging time and new registrations of MAC-addresses or local network emulation groups (ISO09542-protocol data units over AA15, with VPI=BDS, VCI=9542).
1. Station - - - AAL5VCI=9542 ESH PDU {(MAC+LEG)NSAP, E164NSAP } → server. "I am here, please register my MAC-addresses and local network emulation groups".
This mechanism supposes that the server in some way can derive the E164-address from which the ESH protocol data unit originates.
2. Server - - - AAL5VCI=9542 ESH PDU {(MAC+LEG)NSAP, E164NSAP } → station.
Configuration message, i.e. "it is OK, the server has registered you".
3. Server - - - AAL5VCI=9543 ESH PDU {(MAC+LEG)NSAP, E164NSAP } → other servers.
Configuration message: "I route the following stations locally".
Notice that ESH which is sent back to other servers might be labelled VCI9543 so the receivers are informed about that this information is intended for globally routing data bases. This server would yet be able to compile this information from the data base in FIG. 7, but this solution is more effective. It is the task of the server to decide whether this configuration information through VCI9542 and VCI9543 should be distributed to relevant local network emulation units or not. This can be regarded as something which shall be decided by configuration message functions of servers.
1. Station - - - AAL5VCI=9542 ESH PDU {(MAC+LEG)NSAP } → server. "I am still here".
2. Server - - - AAL5VCI=9542 ESH PDU {(MAC+LEG)NSAP, E164NSAP } → station. "You are still registered in the following groups" (of the local server).
1. Station - - - BDS UNITDATA {source (MAC+LEG)NSAP, destination (MAC+LEG)NSAP, data QOS} → server.
Server: Address resolution (local, global based either on destination MAC or on LEG)+forwarding data.
2. Server - - - AAL5VCI=9542 RD PDU {(MAC+LEG)NSAP }, additional selection field octet nr 1=1100011, i.e. "QOS", octet nr 2=01 "source address specific QOS"+00 0001 "MAC-address resolved") → station.
"I have just resolved the destination MAC-address of the following E164-address. If you want to, use it to establish a signalled logical subchannel to this E164-address".
Notice that this message should be sent between servers and local terminals, not between servers. The server which transmits the message should adapt the redirect protocol data units to the data base of the local stations.
Contra pressure from the server to local units.
1. Server - - - AAL5VCI=9542 RD PDU {(MAC+LEG+E164}, additional field octet nr 1=1100011, octet nr 2=0100 0001 "Establish signalled logical subchannel to E164") → station.
"You had better start using a signalled logical subchannel for this E164-address".
This counter pressure mechanism can only be used locally by servers for routing stations.
For polling servers the station transmits an empty BDS. The closest server transmits automatically a redirect protocol data unit to the station which produced the inquiry. This redirect protocol data unit of course contains information about the E164-address to the specified destination-MAC-address.
1. Station - - - BDS {Source(MAC+LEG)NSAP, destination (MAC+LEG)NSAP. No data} → server.
2. Server - - - AAL5VCI=9542 RD PDU {(MAC+LEG)NSAP } → station.
Configuration message "as a result of the inquiry".
The station which receives the message can store (MAC+LEG)NSAP.
The enquiring mechanism above only applies to level 1.
The present invention accordingly offers the following advantages.
BDS is used as an underlying connectionless broad band data service.
The function of the local network emulation end stations is simplified.
The server is used as a data relay, as name resolver (MAC-addresses to E164-addresses) and as configuration manager for local network emulation services.
Within the BDS subnetwork MAC-addresses are treated as network addresses and MAC-addresses+local network emulation group numbers as NSAP-addresses.
The local network emulation group addressing will be as like the E164-addressing as is possible, so it will be easier to use them together.
Many of the already known configuration managing protocols, for instance ISO9542 and ISO10589 can be used for minimizing duplication of work and minimizing logical errors.

I've got my eye on a glued Al Concorde, not certain of the model, as the sticker's scratched, but it looks like "Alara" or something.
Apparently the frames were made by Bridgestone in Japan.
Anyone own one of these? I know I should just go and ride the thing, but it's -30C out and the roads are icy, so a test ride wouldn't tell me much. I've never owned an Aluminum bike before, and lugged Al like Alan, Vitus, etc, seem to have a reputation for flexiness and implosion.
The bike is in my size, light (20.5lbs, with clinchers, bottle cage, cheapo saddle, and old shimano clipless) and in nice shape.

Design of a Source Array for the Rendering of a Desired Sound Field Using the Equivalent Source Method
A source design approach using the equivalent source method (ESM), one of the representative acoustical holography methods was suggested to generate a desired sound field. The reformulation of transfer matrix constructed by the spherical harmonic function was suggested for the design purpose. Also, the method to make a model of source with equivalent source was considered to construct an efficient model. In the example of multi-zone control with 16 sources, the suggested method shows similar accuracy and stability to the inverse BEM based approach. Moreover, the suggested method was applied to inverse design of the modular array system which is the multi-source system allocated to a single channel with pre-determined controller. If the modular sources are constructed properly, the modular source approach is possible to obtain a stable solution against to the noise condition including discrepancy in comparison with the case using same number of sources independently.

You see, I'm proud of the way my computer works. I spend a lot of time customizing it and tweaking things to my liking. My workflow is unique to me, and that's the way it ought to be. It's why I use Linux and not OSX or Windows - I'm supposed to have choices; I'm supposed to be able to have my computer run my way. When I spend uncounted hours growing my desktop and an update comes along and trashes the way I use my machine ... yeah, I take that personally.
And lastly, I'm not up in arms about an update installing a new DE - I lose my shit over an update deleting what you were using before by ambush. If I can figure out how to do a parallel install of 8 different desktop environments (yeah, EIGHT!), I find it hard to believe that Canonical just has its hands tied. If you're going to defend having an update completely remove your DE, without notice, and install some half-baked replacement that you have to manually bolt on fixes for so it will work the way the old one did ... we just can't continue this conversation.
I am also having a hard time understanding how someone who "has a unique workflow" and "is proud of the way their computer works" could have missed the fact that their distribution is changing desktop environment.

Laissez le bon ton roule!
First off I have a hard time believing my own age... I feel young, think young, and act young! I appreciate people who are generous, kind, considerate, and make me laugh. And yes, that don't act like a stick in the mud. I live in a city where something is always happening, and love to take advantage of all that it offers but also know that there's got to be a balance. So as much as I love all the festivals, sporting events, and just general lifestyle I really enjoy just staying home and relaxing sometimes. My family, 2 grown children and 1 grandchild, are my biggest accomplishments. I'm very family focused and would hope that would be a shared value with a partner. I've worked hard to finally be in a great place in my career and would enjoy sharing successes and ideas for future professional growth with a partner. I'm not obsessed about my work but I do love it... Although I've been accused of being a workaholic, I'd much rather have some time off to travel and explore the world... And I promise I wouldn't even check my email! There's not much that I don't enjoy and appreciate about life... I've been through some hard times but have made it through and become stronger and more resilient for it. And so appreciative for even the small things. I don't like mean, rude, and inconsiderate people. Life's too short to spend all that extra energy it takes to be mean. I appreciate honesty above all else. And if you say you're going to do something, do it! It really irks me when people make false promises. I think most of all I'd like to have a partner that is a best friend and can make me laugh... Big, jolly, happy laughing and just plain old silly giggling! And I'll do my best to share the laughter as well.

U.K. government confirms review of rate-setting process
LONDON — The British government on Monday officially announced a review into the rate-setting process at the center of the recent financial scandal.
The review comes as British and U.S. regulators face mounting scrutiny for their passive approach in policing benchmark rates, including the London interbank offered rate, or LIBOR. Since Barclays struck a $450 million settlement last month over rate manipulation, lawmakers have blasted authorities for failing to stop the illegal activities at the British bank, despite evidence of problems.
The two-month, government-mandated inquiry will focus on whether British officials should regulate LIBOR and how governance of the rate can be improved.
Currently, the British Bankers' Association, a London-based trade association, oversees the LIBOR process, but U.S. and British government officials have raised concerns that there is not enough oversight into how the rate is set.
"It is clear that urgent reform of the LIBOR compilation process is required," said Martin Wheatley, managing director of the Financial Services Authority, the British regulator that will conduct the review. "Such reform may include amendments to the technical definitions used for LIBOR, the associated governance framework and the role of official regulation."
The results of the review will be published by the end of September, and may prompt new legislation that criminalizes rate manipulation, according to a statement from the British government. The inquiry will not focus on specific actions by banks implicated in the LIBOR investigations.
Last week, the European Commission also announced plans to make LIBOR manipulation a criminal offense.

Du Tonc – Animals
The first thing to note about Du Tonc is their ability to instantly grab the listeners attention. The combo duo of London's Mighty Mouse and Matt Van She (of Van She fame) are back with another gravitating disco-pop hit. Du Tonc wastes no time to hit you with smooth basslines, killer piano riffs and free flowing vocals on their brand new single. "Animals" builds continually throughout the track with deeper basslines and guitar riffs that brings an all-around fresh and feel good delivery. Welcome back boys!

Keep your finance history! I've used excel. But at the moment I use this app, Gnucash
Lowest Rated
I have been using Quicken for 20 years, but I have always been dissatisfied. Quicken is limited, and they never seem to make progress quickly enough. It seems like they are always working against the user. So I have been following Gnucash for many years, waiting for a time when it might be an acceptable alternative. Unfortunately, Gnucash is not even close to being mature software yet. The documentation is excellent. Very rare to see excellent documentation in a free-software project. However, the software itself (under Windows 8) does not work at all. The stable version 2.4.13 will not even open. I am sitting and looking at the start-up screen now on my computer, which has frozen at the splash screen. Version 2.5.5 (unstable) lives up to its name. Although it gets past the splash screen, it crashes when attempting to save a transaction into PostgreSQL. So, I will continue to monitor this project. Maybe in another 10 years...
I use it mainly for Accounts Receivable and Invoicing. Business functions like Process Payment have been greatly improved in the last few iterations. The only draw back is the VERY awkward process of changing the look of the invoices. There are great big white spaces around all the items in the header, so fully a third of my invoice is header. System works well, recommend it
I use GnuCash for personal accounts, and also for company accounts and invoicing. The features are great, and usability is improving all of the time, but is more than usable as is with a bit of trial and error.
Russian localisation v2.6.6 crashed in WinXP sp3 in a moment of creating new database file in menu New book settings (on russian) and press Enter (next).
Was using another program and decided to test this. Love how, after the accounts are set up, entering transactions was very easy. The auto fill type of feature with memory is very helpful. Scheduled transactions worked on time, every time. However what killed this for me now is that there is no note field on the individual transactions. There is a way to link to external text files etc., however I found it too time consuming for all those little transaction notes. Also the main database file that is being used is very sensitive to any change like moving it to another folder etc. If this is done the file does not open in the program anymore. I had to start from scratch 3 or 4 times because I forgot and moved it, or changed its name and then changed it back. Frustrating. However overall other then that it shows a lot of promise and I will watch it to see if improvements are made. Might be nice one day.
