To Your Health Scott Lowe CEO, Physicians Regional-Collier Blvd As a native of Southwest Florida, I continue to appreciate—and rely on—our friendly, small-town status. And though I understand the respectful way a young person is taught to interact with a physician, doctors are people too. Our area physicians are our neighbors and friends. They shop. They eat. And yes, even a doctor goes to the doctor. When all is said and done, we're all human. There is no better example of a down-to-earth, caring physician than Dr. Doris Corey—a relatively new addition to the Physicians Regional family. Dr. Corey practices family ... Read More »
Angry … Disgusted … Frustrated…
BEYOND THE COAST Tarik Ayasun email@example.com It was a terrible week and a half for anyone who loves this country; who loves the idea of living in America; being an American; anyone who obeys the laws; works hard to achieve their dreams and who believes in service to our country is above all other pursuits in life. As a result, I am angry; I am disgusted and I am frustrated! I am angry… As father of a young daughter it has been heart wrenching and totally unreal and unbelievable for me to try and imagine what Kate Steinle's dad must have ... Read More »

Dining Diary – Gino's Trattoria
By Ms. Vittles This week's adventure takes us to Gino's Trattoria Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria nestled in the Royal Palm Mall at North Collier & Bald Eagle. I really like the open-air courtyard setting that greets you. Joining us this evening were a couple friends (code name Olivia and Hudson). We requested a table off in the corner and they sat us in a small room toward the back. It would make a great place for groups that would like a more intimate area for their occasion. The atmosphere at Gino's is very casual, yet with an upscale feel. There ... Read More »
ARTFUL LIFE Tara O'Neill email@example.com I have always believed, from tiniest totdom, that what one person can do, anyone can do. It's just a matter of instructions. And I have always been very good at reading instructions. I have read instructions on everything from toy assembly to plumbing and wiring, to death and dying. There's a wealth of information out there that is ours for the taking. In my teens I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values, a work of philosophical fiction by Robert Persig. I'm afraid that, at the time, most of Mr. Persig's ...

Curcuma: Tropical Flower or Medical Miracle
PLANT TALK Mike Malloy firstname.lastname@example.com Curcuma although tropical in origins, mostly from (Southeast Asia, India and Malaysia, does not like to be in sun all day. A filtered morning or afternoon sun is best, like most plants in southwest Florida the summer sun is deadly. The plants in the curcuma family are often called gingers but are really Zingiber and the Curcuma longa species is solely used for the harvest of the spice turmeric.

COASTAL COMMENTS Donna Fiala Soon the County Commission will be in recess for six weeks, and possibly some of you have wondered why we have a summer recess while others already asked. It started back in the 90's when unhappy residents felt the Commissioners were approving land use issues and new developments while the residents were away on vacation or back up north to their summer home. After much complaining, the then-Commissioners decided to take a recess the last week of July and the month of August, which pleased the community. That effort was extended a little further two years ago ... Read More »

When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!
Summer is the peak season in Florida for one of the nation's deadliest weather phenomena – lightning. We'd like to take the time to remind you that when thunder roars, go indoors. On average, lightning accounts for more deaths per year than tornados. We have people working outdoors in this county every day. Remember, the safest place to be during lightning activity is a large enclosed building. If you are away from a building, the second safest location is an enclosed vehicle (car, van, etc.), but not a convertible, on a bike, or in other topless or soft top vehicles. If you are caught ...

Letter to the Editor: Rental Ordinance – Common Sense
About nine years ago, growing complaints regarding vacationing, disruptive short-term rentals caused the City Council to begin considering the issue. Much commercial lobbying later, the current City Council adopted Ordinance 15-01, the Rental Ordinance. In my opinion, their decision was good and not-so-good at the same time. The "good" includes prioritizing community complaints over commercial interests; requiring registration of all rental properties; assigning accountability for disturbances to the landlord as well as to disappeared short-term perpetrators. The "not-so-good" includes requiring annual registration renewal; mandating city annual fire inspections; mandating a dossier on each tenant for the City; Let's apply some ... Read More »

Regarding the Petition to Repeal the Rental Ordinance Shame on the Marco Island Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber has aligned itself with the Realtors in an effort to damage the homeowners of Marco Island. The Chamber is assisting in gathering petition signatures to repeal the rental ordinance. They are attempting scare tactics to gather signatures by telling homeowners that their property values will decrease if the ordinance goes into effect. On the contrary, property values will increase because it will create accountability for rental properties. A person wishing to buy a house or a condo will know that they can ... Read More »

The World's Costliest Hotel Room Goes for $25,000 a Night, Robomaid Included
Still, Ursula is a marvel of steel, fiberglass, urethane, computer chips and rechargeable batteries in all the right places. Better yet, she will serve as "your personal star maiden" of the futuristic Galactic Fantasy Suite, 15 stories up at Carnival's Crystal Palace Resort & Casino, a just-opened $240 million playground for high rollers in Nassau, the Bahamas. As might be expected, Ursula doesn't work cheap. A stay in her private domain will set you back a cosmic $25,000 a night, which makes it far and away the most expensive hotel room in the known universe.
But then the ambience there is pretty far out. You enter the Galactica through Starship Enterprise-style doors that automatically slide open as you approach. The all-white, 2,350-square-foot suite on two levels is decorated in stainless steel, Lucite and mirrors. Four neon columns pulse in rhythm to your body heat, a beat that may quicken as Ursula glides into view to ask in her artificial voice, "Won't you please join me in the Great Room for a Dom Pérignon?"
Champagne in hand, you can survey the premises from a power-driven circular sofa that rotates 270°. Ursula points to a remote-controlled 10-foot TV screen that brings in regular programs and can also flash a matrix of colors and shapes. There's an eight-speaker, surround-sound stereo, a $35,000 grand piano made of Lucite and a bubbling 330-gallon coral-reef aquarium with its own resident stingray, Maynard by name.
Ursula isn't built for climbing the Lucite spiral staircase, so a decorous human substitute will show you the upper-level spare bedroom and bath, complete with a bar and Jacuzzi for two. Guests have the use of Mylar bathrobes, customized with Star Trek epaulets and upturned collars. Back downstairs, Ursula resumes her tour by leading you to the master bedroom where a round, rotatable bed covered with a silver Lurex-weave spread beckons. She approaches an audiovisual electronic system, and the storm begins: Metallic vertical window blinds close with a whoosh, the lights dim, thunder roars, lightning flashes, and the sound of rain comes in crashes.
"I've always loved rainstorms," says Miami-based interior designer Diane Sepler, 50, who is Galactica's chief impresario. "When I fantasized about the experience I'd most like to have when getting ready for bed, I came up with this." Sepler designed Galactica at the behest of billionaire Ted Arison, chairman of Carnival Cruise Lines and developer of the Bahamian Crystal Palace, who wanted "the ultimate resort theme suite." Ursula and the Galactica's other special effects cost Arison $510,000. Another $850,000 went for the room's construction and furnishings.
Sepler has designed rooms for luxury hotels in New York and Florida, but the Galactica is the first she has put together specifically for casino habitués. Psychologists told her that gamblers are bright, creative, impatient, eager for excitement, gimmick aficionados and lone travelers who seldom bring their wives along. Based on such considerations, Sepler says, "I decided immediately to create the 21st-century living environment." Her vision included a live-in android, a job that went to the $125,000 Ursula, described by her designer, David Sigel, as a "totally autonomous, computer-based robot." When off duty, Ursula is programmed to return herself to her own closet.
Because of the Galactica's out-of-this-world tariff—which includes room, dinner, all beverages, a limousine and, in addition to the robot, a real-life butler and a masseur—the hotel management doesn't expect it to be booked solid. (More traditional accommodations at the 1,550-room Crystal Palace start at $175 a night.) But Richard Cook, president of Carnival's Crystal Palace Bahamas Inc., says that he has confirmed reservations for the Galactica's opening run this week, some of them from "major corporate executives," as well as some from "serious gamblers." Under certain circumstances, says Cook, he might even let a guest stay in the Galactica free of charge. "If one of our customers lost $500,000 at the casino," Cook says, "this is the kind of suite we'd put him in." A fully recharged Ursula would be there as added consolation.

Secret Father
It is 1961. Khrushchev is hurling threats, a U.S. spy plane has been shot down over the Soviet Union, tensions are rising. Berlin has been cut off from the West: it's only a matter of weeks until the Wall will be erected. The United States and Americans abroad face dangers they had never imagined. Against this backdrop, the best-selling novelist and historian James Carroll tells an unforgettable love story that illuminates a key moment in history with the passions of those who lived it. Three teenagers from an American school in West Germany travel to Berlin to join a May Day rally on the Communist side of the divided city. Propelled by na ve ideals and in rebellion against preordained futures, they stumble into the center of an international incident. Paul, the father of one of the boys, and Charlotte, the elegant German-born mother of another, set off to rescue their children from the East German Stasi, which has detained them. Over the course of a weekend, Paul and Charlotte struggle with personal secrets, growing passion, and the weight of a generation that survived World War II only to face the loss of its children to the engulfing paranoia of the Cold War. Secret Father inexorably pulls the reader into the heart of flashpoint Berlin. In this powerful tale, missed signals, cloaked motives, false postures, and panicked responses echo tragically across borders and generations.

Article: Capacity maximization in wireless MIMO networks with receiver-side interference suppression[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology provides a means of boosting network capacity without requiring additional spectrum. It has received widespread attention over the past decade from both industry and academic researchers, now forming a key component of nearly all emerging wireless standards. Despite the huge promise and considerable attention, a rigorous algorithm-theoretic framework for maximizing network capacity in multihop wireless MIMO\ networks is missing in the state of the art. The existing algorithms and protocols for maximizing network capacity in multihop wireless MIMO networks are purely heuristic without any provable performance guarantees. In this paper we conduct a comprehensive algorithm study for maximizing network capacity in multihop wireless MIMO networks with receiver-side interference suppression, including the full characterization of NP-hardness and APX-hardness, the polynomial time approximation schemes, and the practical approximation algorithms with provable performance guarantees.
Conference Paper: From least interference-cost paths to maximum (Concurrent) multiflow in MC-MR wireless networks[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Maximum multiflow and maximum concurrent mul-tiflow in multi-channel multi-radio (MC-MR) wireless networks have been well-studied in the literature. They are NP-hard even in single-channel single-radio (SC-SR) wireless networks when all nodes have uniform (and fixed) interference radii and the positions of all nodes are available. While they admit a polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) when the number of channels is bounded by a constant, such PTAS is quite infeasible practically. Other than the PTAS, all other known approximation algorithms, in both SC-SR wireless networks and MC-MR wireless networks, resorted to solve a polynomial-sized linear program (LP) exactly. The scalability of their running time is fundamentally limited by the general-purposed LP solvers. In this paper, we first introduce the concept of interference costs and prices of a path and explore their relations with the maximum (concurrent) multiflow. Then we develop purely combinatorial approximation algorithms which compute a sequence of least interference-cost routing paths along which the flows are routed. These algorithms are faster and simpler, and achieve nearly the same approximation bounds known in the literature.IEEE INFOCOM 2014 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications; 04/2014
Conference Paper: Fast and simple approximation algorithms for maximum weighted independent set of links[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Finding a maximum-weighted independent set of links is a fundamental problem in wireless networking and has broad applications in various wireless link scheduling problems. Under protocol interference model, it is NP-hard even when all nodes have uniform (and fixed) interference radii and the positions of all nodes are available. On one hand, it admits a polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS). In other words, for any fixed ε > 0, it has a polynomial-time (depending on ε) (1 + ε)-approximation algorithm. However, such PTAS is of theoretical interest only and is quite infeasible practically. On the other hand, only with the uniform interference radii is a simple (greedy) constant-approximation algorithm known. For the arbitrary interference radii, fast constant-approximation algorithms are still missing. In this paper, we present a number of fast and simple approximation algorithms under the general protocol interference model. When applied to the plane geometric variants of the protocol interference model, these algorithms produce constant-approximate solutions efficiently.IEEE INFOCOM 2014 - IEEE Conference on Computer Communications; 04/2014

ABSTRACT: We are in an age where people are paying increasing attention to energy conservation around the world. The heating and air-conditioning systems of buildings introduce one of the largest chunks of energy expenses. In this article, we make a key observation that after a meeting or a class ends in a room, the indoor temperature will not immediately increase to the outdoor temperature. We call this phenomenon thermal inertia. Thus, if we arrange subsequent meetings in the same room rather than in a room that has not been used for some time, we can take advantage of such undissipated cool or heated air and conserve energy. Though many existing energy conservation solutions for buildings can intelligently turn off facilities when people are absent, we believe that understanding thermal inertia can lead system designs to go beyond on-and-off-based solutions to a wider realm. We propose a framework for exploring thermal inertia in room management. Our framework contains two components. (1) The energy-temperature correlation model captures the relation between indoor temperature change and energy consumption. (2) The energy-aware scheduling algorithms: given information for the relation between energy and temperature change, energy-aware scheduling algorithms arrange meetings not only based on common restrictions, such as meeting time and room capacity requirement, but also energy consumptions. We identify the interface between these components so further works towards same on direction can make efforts on individual components. We develop a system to verify our framework. First, it has a wireless sensor network to collect indoor, outdoor temperature and electricity expenses of the heating or air-conditioning devices. Second, we build an energy-temperature correlation model for the energy expenses and the corresponding room temperature. Third, we develop room scheduling algorithms. In detail, we first extend the current sensor hardware so that it can record the electricity expenses in re-heating or re-cooling a room. As the sensor network needs to work unattendedly, we develop a hardware board for long-range communications so that the Imote2 can send data to a remote server without a computer relay close by. An efficient two-tiered sensor network is developed with our extended Imote2 and TelosB sensors. We apply laws of thermodynamics and build a correlation model of the energy needed to re-cool a room to a target temperature. Such model requires parameter calibration and uses the data collected from the sensor network for model refinement. Armed with the energy-temperature correlation model, we develop an optimal algorithm for a specified case, and we further develop two fast heuristics for different practical scenarios. Our demo system is validated with real deployment of a sensor network for data collection and thermodynamics model calibration. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation with synthetic room and meeting configurations, as well as real class schedules and classroom topologies of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, academic calendar year of Spring 2011. We observe 20% energy savings as compared with the current schedules.ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks 11/2013; 10(1). DOI:10.1145/2529050
Conference Paper: Maximum independent set of links with power control[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper addresses the joint selection and power assignment of a largest number of given links which can communicate successfully at the same time under the physical interference model. For this optimization problem, we present a constant-approximation algorithm with improved performance over existing approximation algorithms. In addition, both the algorithm design and analysis are applicable to arbitrary path-loss exponent and arbitrary dimension of the deployment space.Proceedings of the 8th international conference on Wireless Algorithms, Systems, and Applications; 08/2013
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper studies the problem of selecting a maximum independent set of links with a fixed monotone and sublinear power assignment under the physical interference model. The best-known approximation bound for this problem is a very large constant. In this paper, we present an approximation algorithm for this problem, which not only has a much smaller approximation bound but also produces an independent set of links with a stronger property, i.e., strong independence.Proceedings of the 8th international conference on Wireless Algorithms, Systems, and Applications; 08/2013
Article: The Number of Isolated Nodes in a Wireless Network with a Generic Probabilistic Channel Model[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A wireless node is called isolated if it has no links to other nodes. The number of isolated nodes in a wireless network is an important connectivity index. However, most previous works on analytically determining the number of isolated nodes were not based on practical channel models. In this work, we study this problem using a generic probabilistic channel model that can capture the behaviors of the most widely used channel models, including the disk graph model, the Bernoulli link model, the Gaussian white noise model, the Rayleigh fading model, and the Nakagami fading model. We derive the expected number of isolated nodes and further prove that their distribution asymptotically follows a Poisson distribution. We also conjecture that the nonexistence of isolated nodes asymptotically implies the connectivity of the network, and that the probability of connectivity follows the Gumbel function.IEICE Transactions on Communications 02/2013; E96.B(2):595-604.

Conference Paper: Scalable algorithms for wireless link schedulings in multi-channel multi-radio wireless networks[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: For wireless link scheduling in multi-channel multi-radio wireless networks aiming at maximizing (concurrent) multi-flow, constant-approximation algorithms have recently been developed in [11]. However, the running time of those algorithms grows quickly with the number of radios per node (at least in the sixth order) and the number of channels (at least in the cubic order). Such poor scalability stems intrinsically from the exploding size of the fine-grained network representation upon which those algorithms are built. In this paper, we introduce a new structure, termed as concise conflict graph, on the node-level links directly. Such structure succinctly captures the essential advantage of multiple radios and multiple channels. By exploring and exploiting the rich structural properties of the concise conflict graphs, we are able to develop fast and scalable link scheduling algorithms for either minimizing the communication latency or maximizing the (concurrent) multi-flow. These algorithms have running time growing linearly in both the number of radios per node and the number of channels, while not sacrificing the approximation bounds.INFOCOM, 2013 Proceedings IEEE; 01/2013

ABSTRACT: Static greedy link schedulings have much simpler implementation than dynamic greedy link schedulings such as Longest-queue-first (LQF) link scheduling. However, its stability performance in multi-channel multi-radio (MC-MR) wireless networks is largely under-explored. In this paper, we present a stability subregion with closed form of a static greedy link scheduling in MC-MR wireless networks under the 802.11 interference model. By adopting some special static link orderings, the stability subregion is within a constant factor of the stable capacity region of the network. We also obtain constant lower bounds on the throughput efficiency ratios of the static greedy link schedulings in some special static link orderings.INFOCOM, 2013 Proceedings IEEE; 01/2013
Conference Paper: Maximizing Wireless Network Capacity with Linear Power: Breaking The Logarithmic Barrier[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Maximizing the wireless network capacity under physical interference model is notoriously hard due to the nonlocality and the additive nature of the wireless interference under the physical interference model. This problem has been extensively studied recently with the achievable approximation bounds progressively improved from the linear factor to logarithmic factor. It has been a major open problem whether there exists a constant-approximation approximation algorithm for maximizing the wireless network capacity under the physical interference model. In this paper, we improve the status quo for the case of linear transmission power assignment, which is widely adopted due to its advantage of energy conservation. By exploring and exploiting the rich nature of the wireless interference with the linear power assignment, we develop constant-approximation algorithms for maximizing the wireless network capacity with linear transmission power assignment under the physical interference model, in both the unidirectional mode and the bidirectional mode.INFOCOM, 2013 Proceedings IEEE; 01/2013
Chapter: Coverage[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A classic type of resource management problem is as follows: Given a certain amount of resource and a set of users, find an assignment of resource to maximize the number of satisfied users. The maximum lifetime coverage is such a classic type of problem in wireless sensor networks.Connected Dominating Set: Theory and Applications, 01/2013: pages 105-118;
Chapter: CDS in Planar Graphs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although Min-CDS in general graphs is hard to approximate, the restriction to certain special graph classes admits much better approximation results. Min-CDS in planar graphs remains NP-hard even for planar graphs that are regular of degree 4 [57]. The related problem, Min-DS in planar graphs, is also NP-hard even for planar graphs with maximum vertex degree 3 and planar graphs that are regular of degree 4 [57]. It is well known that Min-DS in planar graphs possesses a polynomial-time approximation scheme (PTAS) based on the shifting strategy [3]: For any constant ε >0, there is a polynomial-time 1+ε-approximation algorithm. Thus, it is immediate to conclude that Min-CDS in planar graphs can be approximated within a factor 3+ε for any ε>0 in polynomial time. However, the degree of the polynomial grows with 1∕ε and hence, the approximation scheme is hardly practical.Connected Dominating Set: Theory and Applications, 01/2013: pages 183-191;
Chapter: Minimum-Latency Scheduling[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Consider a multihop wireless network in which all network nodes V lie in plane and have a unit communication radius. Its communication topology G is the unit disk graph (UDG) of V. Under the protocol interference model, every node has a communication radius normalized to one, and an interference radius ρ for some parameter ρ ≥ 1 (see Fig. 11.1). A node v can receive the message successfully from a transmitting node u if v is within the transmission range of u but is outside the interference range of any other node transmitting simultaneously.Connected Dominating Set: Theory and Applications, 01/2013: pages 169-182;
Chapter: CDS in Disk-Intersection Graphs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Consider a finite set V of nodes in the plane and a radius function \(r : V \rightarrow {\rm IR}^{+}\). The disk-intersection graph (DIG) of V with the radius function r, denoted by \({G}_{r}\left (V \right )\), is the undirected graph on V in which u and v are adjacent if and only if the disk centered at u of radius \(r\left (u\right )\) and the disk centered at v of radius \(r\left (v\right )\) intersect, or equivalently, $$\left \Vert uv\right \Vert \leq r\left (u\right ) + r\left (v\right ).$$ If \(r\left (v\right ) = 1/2\) for all v ∈ V, then \({G}_{r}\left (V \right )\) is exactly the unit disk graph (UDG) of V.Connected Dominating Set: Theory and Applications, 01/2013: pages 151-159;

ABSTRACT: This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the maximum throughput of a wireless mesh backhaul network that is achievable over a practical carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) medium access control (MAC) protocol. We resort to the multicommodity flow (MCF) formulation augmented with the conflict-graph constraints, whereas we use a novel approach to take into account the collision overhead in the distributed CSMA/CA MAC. Such overhead due to random access has been ignored by existing MCF-based capacity studies, which assume impractical centralized scheduling and result in aggressive capacity planning, which is unachievable over the CSMA/CA MAC. This paper makes the following three main contributions: 1) we develop a generic method of integrating the CSMA/CA MAC analysis with the MCF formulation for optimal network capacity analysis, which readily generates an upper bound of the network throughput; 2) we define a new concept of CSMA/CA clique and theoretically study its relationship to a CSMA/CA area in terms of throughput; and 3) using the CSMA/CA clique as a tool, we derive a lower bound of the network throughput achievable over the CSMA/CA MAC by clique-based MCF formulation. NS-2 simulation results are presented to demonstrate the tightness of the upper and lower bounds that are newly developed, compared to those based on the MCF formulation assuming a slotted system and centralized scheduling.IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology 09/2012; 61(7):3151-3165.

Article: A theoretical framework for optimal cooperative networking in multiradio multichannel wireless networks[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A wide range of next generation wireless networks are based on the multiradio multichannel (MR-MC) network model. A full exploration of the MR-MC wireless network capacity incurs challenging cooperative networking issues including transmission cooperation, resource allocation cooperation, and cross-layer protocol cooperation. In this article, rather than focus on protocol designs for specific cooperative networking issues, we present a generic theoretical framework that could guide the protocol or algorithm development to approach the maximum network capacity. Based on our multidimensional conflict graph (MDCG) tool, we could achieve a cross-layer linear programming framework to study the optimal cooperative networking in two complementary aspects: optimal network dimensioning and throughputoptimal control. While certain NP-hard computing issues hindered the MR-MC network optimization for a long time, the MDCG-based framework can readily generate simple polynomial and distributed algorithms with guaranteed capacity region.IEEE Wireless Communications 04/2012; 19(2):66-73.

ABSTRACT: Data aggregation, as a primitive communication task in wireless networks, can reduce the communication complexity. However, in-network aggregation usually brings an unavoidable security defect. Some malicious nodes may control a large percentage of the whole network data and compel the network misbehave in an arbitrary manner. Thus, locating the malicious nodes to prevent them from further disaster is a practical challenge for data aggregation schemes. Based on the grouping and localization techniques, we propose a novel integrated protocol to locate malicious nodes. The proposed protocol does not rely on any special hardware and requests only incomplete information of the network from the security schemes. We also conduct simulation study to evaluate the proposed protocol.Proceedings - IEEE INFOCOM 01/2012; DOI:10.1109/INFCOM.2012.6195758

ABSTRACT: Longest-queue-first (LQF) link scheduling is a greedy link scheduling in multihop wireless networks. Its stability performance in single-channel single-radio (SC-SR) wireless networks has been well studied recently. However, its stability performance in multi-channel multi-radio (MC-MR)wireless networks is largely under-explored. In this paper, we present a stability subregion with closed form of the LQF scheduling in MC-MR wireless networks, which is within a constant factor of the network stability region. We also obtain constant lower bounds on the efficiency ratio of the LQF scheduling in MC-MR wireless networks under the 802.11 interference model or the protocol interference model.

Sup out there! I hope everyone had a great turkey day!
Here is an Omake Character to my 30/30 challenge, I like his story, not sure on my execution- I'll enjoy it anyway.
Might want to mask the knife in his hand. Neat concept with a design that sells the story.
I know that it's a holiday weekend in the United States and Jeff is on vacation. However, I figured HMers outside the US would pick up the slack. It's been very quiet.
Do they have "Black Friday" in other countries? "Vendredi noir?" "Schwarzes Freitag?" "Musta perjantai?"
Anyone brave the Black Friday sales? I did, I already had bought most of what I needed already so I was able to get in and out quickly with what I wanted. There were some crazy people trying to cut in lines, stealing, pushing, throwing stuff, and trying to bring their kids in the madness. Ah the american dream of having material things right LOL
For the most part, Tool, I stayed home. I'm not brave, foolhardy, or just plain foolish to dive into the pool.
I can say, though, that there was little traffic at the cleaners, video rental, and snazz beer/food retailer.
Jeff Hebert: I thought so, too.
I'll be honest, I'm thinking of shutting down the blog side of things and just leaving the actual apps and the forums. It's a lot of work and doesn't seem to have any impact on traffic or revenue (from ads). In fact, this whole week has seen the highest conversion rates and RPMs in the last year. Maybe all this extra content is actually harmful on the money end of things, yet it costs more because of the server loads required to support the blog engine.
I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud.
Speaking for myself, I certainly would miss the blog. A LOT. This is one of the few sites that I go to everyday looking for something new and it would make my day a little sadder to not have it. That being said, I know you need revenue. So, being a bad revenue generator (I don't click on any add on any site), what can I do? just click on the ads? everyday? every time I see a new add?
I would certainly miss the blog if it left, but I undersand the need for revenue. Anything we can do to help?
What can any of us do!?I for one am open to anything I could do to help!Say the word Jeff!
Jeff, the blog is a big part of the fun here.
How can I pitch in?
Greetings fellow HMers! I hope everyone in the U.S. has had a great vacation and for those of you outside the states had a good week too, curious as to what people thought of my newest creation.
So it's Leonardo from the TMNT during his self imposed exile to Japan any critique would be greatly appreciated!!! on and P.S. that grid pattern on his arm is supposed to be like a mesh shirt that i've seen fictional ninjas sometimes wear…
Completely understandable. I've given up on countless projects and hobbies. Coincidentally, I would like some feedback.
I decided to write instead of quilt. Keep in mind, either activity is extremely difficult with a cat walking all over you. The setting is an inter-stellar society. The network that holds it together suddenly collapses. The isolation radically transforms the various worlds.
Earth was part of the network. There is a definite Ancient Aliens / Stargate element. Myths, legends, and historical figures are central to my universe's history.
The question right now is what was the mode of inter-stellar travel? Was it stargate (jumpgate) technology? Was it hyperspace or "folding space" (Dune)? Wormholes? The mode will affect the direction.
Any thoughts appreciated. This is strictly for fun. I'll post my musings in the Writers section of the Forum. Bitte, alles!
Y'know, Jeff, if my schedule was any more forgiving, I'd be happy to lend my zaniness to a spot in your blog. Delegate some of it? I have no money, hm3 is my free hobby /art therapy / sanity maintenance, but I'd be happy to do what I can.
Hey–maybe the Home could point to YOUR thread / threads and so be cheaper somehow? I don't know how it works . . .
@Master81: I like. The only thing missing is the pizza he's rescuing.
@Atomic: Jeff's given you some great starter advice. Another 'why' to consider is whether, in the plot, you need part of the network reestablished, by whom, and what they can reach by what they do. Of course, there's no reason you can't decide that the network was made of all of the above–that's very realistic. Sometimes technology just isn't updated or replaced. (And a good reason why the WHOLE network can't be brought right back up; the technology liaisons being long dead, negotiations broken down, etc.)
@Master81385: I like his outfit. The mesh arms are a nice touch.
@Jeff: I'm hoping for a continuing or expanded universe. So I'm not looking for a pre-determined outcome. From a plot perspective, reverse engineering is a good idea.
@Herr D: Very true. No reason not to have multiple methods. Kind of like at work. We have a Director who still uses Windows 3.11 to generate a report! I'm sure when he retires, so does the computer.
Ooohhh… I've got it! Yes… this plays nicely in my universe. Thank you!
@All: I like the Suggestion Box idea. Maybe even put Challenges up to a Poll Daddy. Definitely more guest blogs!
I haven't been around much for the last week and a half because my new routine with the cat seems to soak up all my extra time. I have to wash her dishes twice a day, and her face twice a day; it took her no time at all to recognize that running water in the kitchen sink was a sign to hide behind the furniture, to make it even more of a hassle. I also have to give her a huge antibiotic pill twice a day, immediately after she eats; she also runs and hides when I put food down, leaving me stuck staking out her bowl waiting for her to eat.
But! As much of a pain as it all is, it's still better than the major illness I thought she had before I took her to the vet. When she developed fast-growing lumps on her face, I assumed they were tumors, as she has a bit of history with that sort of thing. Turns out it's acne. (Whoever heard of a cat with acne?) So, just dance, I guess.
As for your revenue problems, have you considered putting up a paypal donation button? I never click ads, but I'd shoot you a few bucks a month. I know it's not much, but anything is better than nothing, right?
@X-Stacy: My mom's cat had acne on her neck and head. It developed around the time of my parents' divorce and her subsequent stroke. It cleared after I moved in to take care of the house. Cats are very attuned to stress and change.
Paypal donations are fine with me if revenue is the issue (am already paying subs to another community-run site).
I'm getting the feeling that it's difficult for Jeff to keep up with the regular blog and what sounds like an intensely busy job. My advice would be – don't! With the forums so closely linked to the main page, I think the blog could easily go to a bi-weekly update schedule, if that, and be even better. Less is more, sometimes.
I find it very difficult to make time to participate in the contest/challenges these days (not the quickest of HM'ers) and there are often comments from people saying "I'd like to have participated, but….". So spreading those over two weekends might be good. No need to allow thousands of entries, just make time for good ones.
One more thing – I'm really enjoying Jeff's "30 characters…" drawings. In many ways I'd prefer to have a blog more about Jeff's art, updated occasionally, than something with daily postings about content which may be covered elsewhere. After all, it's Jeff's style which makes HM what it is…
Thanks guys much appreciated 😀
The Atomic Punk: @X-Stacy: My mom's cat had acne on her neck and head. It developed around the time of my parents' divorce and her subsequent stroke. It cleared after I moved in to take care of the house. Cats are very attuned to stress and change.
I'll be damned. The vet said it was common, but I was having a hard time believing her, since everybody I mentioned it to responded the same way I did when the vet told me: a blank stare, followed with a "…I didn't even know cats could get acne." Now if I could just figure out what she's stressed about! (The cat, that is, not the vet.)

"To tell the truth, right now in my briefcase I have a manual on psychiatric disorders, an Oxford English Dictionary, and The Celestine Prophecy. The Celestine Prophecy is a wonderfully insightful book. As tired as I get, it's really enriching, showing a dimension of life one isn't ordinarily in touch with. People think I'm reading about crime. I don't read crime novels. I'm also reading books on maintaining scuba-diving equipment for a novel I'm writing, as well as Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. She's a masterful, beautiful writer. I have a copy of that book in every place I live. I also like Tom Wolfe and Pat Conroy, [and] there's a wonderful textbook about forensics, Criminalistics. When I'm writing, I don't read anything. It's only when I'm back in my extroverted manifestation that I get back to reading."

Former Germany goalkeeper Jens Lehmann believes his nation will reach the FIFA World Cup final, and he expects England to struggle.
Joachim Low's Germany are among the favourites to win Brazil 2014 but were drawn in a tricky Group G with Portugal, Ghana and the United States.
Lehmann, a 61-time international who was Germany's first-choice shot-stopper at the 2006 World Cup, said Low's men would reach the decider.
"I think we will reach the final but everything has to run optimally," he said.
"And then in the final one never knows. Brazil against us would be a good final."
England face an even tougher task in Group D, which includes Roy Hodgson's men, Uruguay, Italy and Costa Rica.
Former Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann said he expected very little from England.
"From the English, I do not expect much," he said.
"They've also had a strenuous season. The players are looking forward to not really going to the England team, I think.
"This is even more stress because they know anyway, they cannot win anything."
Belgium are Lehmann's dark horses, with the likes of Eden Hazard, Vincent Kompany and Thibaut Courtois to be part of Marc Wilmots' squad in a Group H including Russia, South Korea and Algeria.
"They are the dark horses. They have strong players, especially from the English league," Lehmann said.
"A couple playing in the Spanish league. You have a generation that can achieve a lot."

According to multiple industry sources, Red Sox right-hander Bobby Jenks, who underwent surgery to remove bone fragments from his lower back in December, experienced some minor complications from that procedure that resulted in some fluid build-up around the spine. As a result, a second procedure proved necessary on Dec. 30. News of the second procedure was first reported by the Boston Globe.
Jenks, 30, missed most of 2011 in the first season of his two-year, $12 million deal he signed last December.Injuries limited the former White Sox closer to 19 appearances in 2011, in which he forged a 6.32 ERA while striking out 17 and walking 13 in 15 2/3 innings. In addition to multiple DL stints for his back, Jenks saw his season come to an end when it was discovered that he was suffering a pulmonary embolism, a condition whose treatment delayed his initial back surgery until December.
Now, it remains to be seen whether his availability for the start of 2012 could be impacted by this latest procedure. The source suggested that Jenks is "certainly" expected to pitch in the regular season, though his availability to pitch in spring training in preparation for the season remains to be determined. That said, like many relievers, Jenks has often waited until later in spring training to start pitching in games, having made eight or fewer appearances in each of the last three springs.
