Review Sheet -- Exam 3 Bio 2212 Dr. Adams
NERVOUS SYSTEM/NERVOUS TISSUE -- One of two control systems (the other is
endocrine) of the body; functional cells -- neurons
Three main functions:
1. Perception/sensation -- afferent (sensory) neurons
2. Integration -- association (inter-) neurons
3. Effecting a response -- efferent (motor) neurons; stimulate effectors º muscles, glands
Overview of Nervous System:
I. Central nervous system (CNS) -- Brain and spinal cord
II. Peripheral nervous system (PNS) -- Nerves and associated ganglia
A. Sensory Division
B. Motor Division
1. Somatic (Voluntary) nervous system
2. Autonomic (Involuntary) nervous system
a. Sympathetic subdivision
b. Parasympathetic subdivision
Cells of the NS:
1. Supporting (Glial) Cells
a. CNS -- astrocytes, microglia, ependymal cells (associated with choroid plexuses),
oligodendrocytes (myelin sheath); know functions
b. PNS -- satellite cells (associated with unipolar sensory neuron cell bodies in dorsal
root ganglia [huh? Don=t worry, you=ll learn this!!]), Schwann cells (myelin sheath)
2. Neurons -- amitotic and therefore extreme longevity; high metabolic rate
Cell body (soma), dendrites, axon/nerve fiber (with hillock, collaterals,
terminals, synaptic knobs) ; know functions of each region
Also know nuclei, ganglia, tracts, nerves
Myelin Sheath -- multiple layers of phospholipid membrane, wrapped around axon (from
oligodendrocytes [CNS] or Schwann cells [PNS]); neurilemma; nodes of Ranvier. Know
Classification of neurons: Structural classification
1. Multipolar (many processes off cell body): all association and motor neurons
2. Bipolar (one dendrite/axon off cell body): unusual sensory neurons (olfactory, optic)
3. Unipolar neurons (one process off cell body): most sensory neurons
Neurophysiology: understand resting membrane potential, action potential (AP), threshold,
chemically-regulated ion channels, voltage-regulated ion channels (on axons only),
resistance, current, polarization (de-, re-, hyper-). An action potential for an axon is
an all-or-none phenomenon -- if threshold is reached, an AP is generated.
Synapses: presynaptic/postsynaptic neurons (neuro- muscular/glandular junctions)
Structural classification -- axodendritic/axosomatic common.
Functional classification -- electrical/chemical.
I. Electrical: cells directly connected by gap junctions (rare, but know example).
II. Chemical: presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters (NT=s) which influences
postynaptic neuron=s membrane ion permeability (see "Action Potentials" section
under Muscles and Muscle Tissues, previous review sheet)
Termination of NT effects: diffusion away from synaptic cleft, degradation by
postsynaptic membrane enzymes (as for Ach by acetylcholinesterase), reuptake
by presynaptic neuron (as for norepinephrine)
Postsynaptic potentials and Synaptic integration: involves
summation of graded
potentials (pgs. 411 - 412)
Graded potentials: Excitatory (depolarizing) and Inhibitory (hyperpolarizing)
postsynaptic potentials
EPSP=s -- typically involves NT opening Na+ gates
IPSP=s -- typically involves NT opening either K+ or Cl- gates
Summation of these graded potentials may lead to generation of an action potential
at the axon hillock
Temporal and/or
Spatial summation -- may involve more than one presynaptic neuron
Potentiation: important in memory storage; synapses that are frequently used become
easier to use. May involve some unusual NT=s (NO, CO) as well as indirect NT
stimulation (secondary messenger systems) -- see below.
Neurotransmitters -- effects are ultimately determined by the postsynaptic receptors
Neurons typically contain more than one NT, released at different stimulation frequencies.
Classification by structure: know some functions of each NT listed, and where located in NS.
Classification by function: excitation/inhibition -- determined by receptors
Direct (opens ion channels) vs. indirect (acts through secondary messengers); the
indirect effects may not change membrane polarity, but do change the activity inside the
postsynaptic neuron. This could include the production of new receptors at the postsynaptic
neuron=s receptive surface so that it may ultimately respond to NT=s that it had not been
capable of responding to before.
Basic concepts of Neural Integration -- Know facilitation/discharge zones, neuronal pools.
Circuits: diverging (amplifying), converging (concentrating), reverberating;
most neurons
are involved in more than one type of circuit.
Processing: serial (such as that involved in reflexes), and parallel. Typically, information
passage is rarely, if ever, solely serial.
Be aware that a portion of the information you need to know for Chapters 12 & 13 is on the
"Lab Practical -- Structures to Know" Handouts
THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM -- Brain and Spinal Cord
The BRAIN: regions include the cerebrum, diencephalon, brain stem, and cerebellum.
As your "Nervous System Structures -- To know" handout includes the names of the parts
you are to know, this review sheet will concentrate on functions.
Cerebral Hemispheres
Diencephalon [SEE "Lab Practical Structures to
Brain Stem [SEE "Lab Practical Structures to Know."]; see also reticular formation, below.
Midbrain -- cerebral aqueduct; cerebral peduncles (anterior; mostly white tracts going
to/from cerebral hemispheres). Superior (visual reflex) and inferior (auditory reflex)
colliculi; nuclei for cranial nerves III & IV.
Cerebellum -- concerned with helping control somatic motor functioning. Compares what brain
telling the body to do with what body is actually doing and makes appropriate adjustments.
There are connections (cerebellar peduncles) between all three brain stem regions and
the cerebellum. Commands from cerebrum descend to body but also cross through
middle peduncles to cerebellum. Proprioceptive information from muscles/joints
ascends to cerebrum and also through inferior peduncles. Cerebellum compares the
information (what brain told body to do/what body actually did) and sends any
necessary adjustment information through superior peduncles to cerebrum. Particularly
important after nerve injury when body/brain need to be retrained to new connections.
Functional brain systems: diffuse but interconnected parts
I. Limbic (emotions) -- Hypothalamus involved (with connections to ANS, explains
psychosomatic illnesses). Amygdala (basal nucleus anatomically) and hippocampus also
involved -- both of these structures intimately tied also to making memories. Don=t forget
olfactory connections as well -- smell memories rarely neutral; rapidly formed and hard to
forget. Several other structures involved, and not clear how feelings actually form.
II. Reticular formation (arousal/consciousness, but also a filter) -- Several brain stem
loose nuclear clusters involved in sending a basal, steady stream of impulses to extensive
areas of cerebrum and is involved in alertness. Sleep inhibits this system partially (though
you can be aroused from sleep) and damage may irreversably affect this system, resulting
in coma. Also helps filter out most unimportant sensory inputs.
Higher Mental Functions – Brain Wave patterns
(electroencephalograms -- EEGs)
alpha, beta, theta, delta -- know normal activities and abnormal conditions typified by
the different brain waves
Sleep Cycles -- NREM and REM sleep; see fig. 12.19
Begins with inhibition of RAS
REM sleep: typified by rapid brain and dream activity, and partial arousal of RAS
Patterns of sleep -- sleep cycles (NREM followed by REM) average 90 minutes (but
vary widely); as night progresses, each cycle increasingly predominated by REM
Serotonin, implicated as a sleep NT, levels rise in brain during sleep
Importance of sleep unclear; people deprived of REM quickly exhibit personality problems
Need for sleep declines a bit with age, with a long level period after puberty to early old age
Consciousness (Alertness) -- encompasses a large number of brain
activities, clearly more
than simply not sleep; understand fainting, coma, brain death. Some generalities are:
1. Consciousness involves simultaneous activity of several areas of the cerebral cortex
2. Consciousness is totally interconnected (follows from #1)
3. Consciousness is superimposed on numerous other types of neural activity
Memory -- storage and retrieval of information; three principles:
1. Memory occurs in stages
2. Memory traces (engrams?) are widely distributed in the brain
3. The hippocampus, amygdala, etc. play important, unique roles in memory processing
Stages of memory:
Short-term memory (STM) -- working memory; can hold seven or eight bits of
information. Performs an important filtering function, as irrelevant info is lost.
Long-term memory (LTM) -- seems to have limitless capacity. Info must pass
through STM to get here. Takes some effort to get info in, and even then it can be
lost (though retrieval is often the problem as opposed to info loss).
Mechanisms for transferring STM to LTM -- heightened emotional state, rehearsal
(repetition, practice), association within preexisting framework, automatic memory
(unusual and not something that can be controlled)
Even using above mechanisms, continued practice consolidates the memory within the
framework of preexisting memories
Categories of memory:
Fact memory -- relatively easy to get in, also easier to forget. Associative mechanisms
used frequently, and remembered typically in context
Skill memory -- acquired only through practice; difficult to establish, but once established
difficult to lose the ability. Context typically not stored with skill
Brain structures involved in memory: prefrontal (and premotor cortex for skill memories),
cortical sensory areas, amygdala and hippocampus, diencephalon (thalamus and hypo-
thalamus), basal forebrain. Know basic suggested network (see figure 12.21 and text
on pgs. 457 - 458). Hippocampus and amygdala are crucial -- damage to
both results in anterograde amnesia
Mechanisms of memory: during memory (engram) storage,
1. Neuronal RNA content is altered, which is consistent with . . .
2. Unique extracellular proteins are deposited at synapses involved in LTM
which suggest stimulatory capabilities not previously possible
3. Dendritic spines change in shape
4. Presynaptic terminals increase in size and number . . .
. . . all of which means new connections
Long term potentiation involved, and probably uses NO -- know general mechanism
Protection of the brain -- [SEE
"Lab Practical Structures to Know."]
Meninges -- Dura, arachnoid and pia maters; subdural and subarachnoid space.
Know arachnoid villi/dural sinuses and their role in draining CSF.
CSF -- in ventricles; central canal (of spinal cord); sudural/subarachnoid spaces. Similar
to plasma, but higher in Na+/lower in K+; pH also very precisely controlled. Choroid
plexuses form it, get it from blood. Contents able to be controlled strictly because of . . .
Blood Brain Barrier -- continuous capillaries/feet of astrocytes; leaky only in hypothalamus
(because?); causes problem with drugs intended to treat disorders of the brain (can=t
cross barrier). Small, non-polar molecules can still pass through.
The SPINAL CORD B [SEE
"Lab Practical Structures to Know."]
Meninges/spaces as above; plus fat-filled epidural space. Since dura not attached to
inside of vertebrae, allows for much greater flexibility. Spinal cord ends at L1 (or L2);
allows for sampling of CSF below L2/epidural during labor.
Know conus medullaris, filum terminale, cauda equina
Enlargements -- cervical and lumbar (why? B Limbs!)
Rest of structures as on lab practical sheet.
Functional concepts:
Gray matter:
Ventral roots of spinal nerves therefore contain motor axons
Dorsal roots contain sensory axons, with unipolar cell bodies in dorsal root ganglion
Roots combine to form mixed spinal nerves
White matter:
Ascending (sensory) and descending (motor) tracts within the funiculi
Most tracts consist of multi-neuron pathways and cross at some point; left and right
tracts are symmetrical both anatomically and functionally.
Receptors, Nerves (equivalent to tracts in CNS), Ganglia (Nuclei in CNS), (Effectors)
The Sensory Receptors -- Classification
I. Stimulus type: mechano- (presso-, baro-); thermo-; photo-; chemo-; nociceptors
II. Location: extero-, interoreceptors. Special intero- type -- proprioceptors.
III. Complexity: simple and complex (complex are special senses, covered in chap. 15).
Simple receptors: free dendritic endings (for example, associated with Merkel=s
cells) and encapsulated endings (for example, Pacinian corpuscles). These are
involved with sensing a variety of stimuli, but some are completely predictable:
For example, muscle spindles, Golgi tendon organs, and joint kinesthetic
receptors are all involved in proprioception, an awareness of where your body parts
are in relation to each other and the environment.
Nerves -- structured like muscles; fibers are axons; include blood vessels
Epineurium (around entire nerve), perineurium (wraps fascicles), endoneurium.
Regeneration of nerves -- distal portions of cut axons degenerate. Schwann cells, with
myelin sheath tube/endoneurium remains to redirect regrowth of axons (at rate of @
1.5 mm/day); help with regrowth by releasing Growth Factors. Regrowth not precise;
must retrain nervous system to deal with new connections.
[CNS -- much less regeneration, as associated oligodendrocytes (and associated myelin
sheath also degenerates)]
Cranial Nerves -- See "Cranial Nerves"
handout, and pages 492 - 500.
Note that a few are purely sensory. Also note trigeminal is main sensory nerve of face,
while facial is the main motor nerve of face.
Spinal Nerves -- 31
pairs, emanating between vertebrae through intervertebral foramina.
Eight cervical pairs (top pair between C1 and occipital; bottom pair between C7/T1)
Twelve thoracic pairs and five lumbar pairs, with pair emanating inferior to same
numbered vertebra.
Five sacral pairs and one coccygeal pair.
Ventral/dorsal roots combine to form nerve (see above); almost immediately after roots
join, nerve branches. The branches (rami) include a tiny meningeal ramus, which reenters
vertebral column to innervate blood vessels/meninges; a small dorsal ramus, which innervates
muscle/skin at appropriate level immediately along vertebrae in back; and a large ventral
ramus, responsible for innervating most everything else in front.
Besides T2 - T12, whose ventral rami follow costae (ribs) around toward front and
innervate at those levels directly, most ventral rami of spinal nerves "criss-cross" in complex
nerve plexuses, with terminal nerves involving neurons from several different roots/rami
[For each plexus, you need to know nerves involved and a main nerve or two of each]
1. Cervical -- involves C1 - C5; many (of course) innervate neck, and also back of head,
but phrenic also a major branch (motor of diaphragm). Why phrenic from here?
2. Brachial (don=t forget cervical enlargement) -- involves C5 - T1; many innervate
different sections (muscle/skin) of arm. Axillary, median, radial, ulnar should be
somewhat obvious.
3. Lumbar -- involves L1 - L4; femoral (anterior thigh), etc.
4. Sacral -- involves L4 - S4; sciatic (paired nerve and "largest" nerve in body), gluteal
branches, pudendal, etc.
Joints (Hilton's Law) and Dermatomes
Reflex Activity -- Simple, mainly serial, processing, at level of spinal cord for many.
Components: receptor, sensory neuron, integration center, motor neuron, effector
Know monosynaptic/polysynaptic; ipsilateral/contralateral
Can be somatic or visceral; reflexes are protective in function.
Types: for each, know simple connections and main objective of each reflex
Stretch and Deep Tendon reflexes; Flexor and associated Crossed-Extensor reflex;
Superficial reflexes; doctors check reflexes to test integrity of associated nerves.

Product description
After bursting onto the fantasy scene with his acclaimed debut novel, "Elantris, " and following up with his blockbuster Mistborn trilogy, Brandon Sanderson proves again that he is today's leading master of what Tolkien called "secondary creation," the invention of whole worlds, complete with magics and myths all their own. "Warbreaker" is the story of two sisters, who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn't like his job, and the immortal who's still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago. Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren's capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as "breath" that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people. By using "breath" and drawing upon the color in everyday objects, all manner of miracles and mischief can be accomplished. It will take considerable quantities of each to resolve all the challenges facing Vivenna and Siri, princesses of Idris; Susebron the God King; Lightsong, reluctant god of bravery, and mysterious Vasher, the Warbreaker.

Old turnpike trust marker is returned to its original home
Posted: April 14, 2011|
An historic turnpike trust marker has been restored and returned to Lower Bristol Road, Bath, thanks to the World Heritage Site Steering Group working with Twerton Liberal Club and the Museum of Bath at Work.
The marker was erected in 1827 at the boundary of the parishes of Twerton and Widcombe, but later moved during road improvements at Brougham Hayes and kept at the Museum of Bath at Work.
By agreement of the museum and Liberal Club, the marker has been returned to the street where it belongs, close to its original location.
The replacement is one of a series of projects paid for by the World Heritage Enhancement Fund, which is a partnership between the World Heritage Site Steering Group, Bath and North East Somerset Council and Bath Preservation Trust.
Councillor Terry Gazzard (Conservative, Abbey), council cabinet member with responsibility for World Heritage Site issues, said: "The restoration of historic landmarks like this turnpike help us to preserve Bath's distinctive urban environment. Bath & North East Somerset Council takes its guardianship of the World Heritage Site seriously."
Turnpike Trusts were formed in the 18th century by private entrepreneurs intent on improving the roads which were often at best rough tracks and in the winter became muddy quagmires.
Bath Turnpike Trust, created in 1707, was one of the earliest such trusts in England.
The investors recouped their money through toll collection from travellers using the turnpikes. Throughout Bath many markers and milestones can still be seen, but some have sadly been lost. This replaced marker is an attractive reminder of the evolution of our transport system and the depth of our local heritage.

Emails reveal White House calling Fox News host Baier 'a lunatic'
Back in 2009, the feud between the Fox News Channel and President Barack Obama's administration had reached its heights. There were public on-air attacks from then-White House Communications Director Anita Dunn on one side and the antics of former Fox News host Glenn Beck, who was able to spearhead an effort that resulted in the resignation of White House "green jobs czar" Van Jones.
Later that dust-up led to rumblings from the White House about excluding Fox News from the White House press pool, which the Obama administration promptly backed away from. But in the lead-up, the White House had some choice words for "Special Report" host Bret Baier. According to a press release from the watchdog group Judicial Watch, emails they obtained reveal then-Deputy White House Communications Director Jennifer Psaki, threatened to put dead fish in "the fox cubby" and also reveal ed Psaki calling Baier a lunatic:

Obama's Farewell Address
It was an unseasonably mild day for Washington in January, 2013. Barack Hussein Obama stood presidentially but grimly in a dark overcoat, unadorned by a Presidential flag and unaccompanied by his wife. She had prior holiday commitments on the Costa del Sol in Spain, where it was known she had several good and welcoming friends.
For the Obamas and for the left in America, the unthinkable had happened. We who had finally gotten who 'we had been waiting for,' were not waiting for anything anymore but the departure of he who had brought America hope and change.
So much hope and change had been delivered in the President's four years that the country had become almost unrecognizable, which was judged to be wonderful in some quarters, though not so much with the majority of the American people. Thus, the crowd, vastly fewer in number than at his inauguration, was preparing to hear the Farewell Address of President Barack Hussein Obama.
This introduction was accompanied by a gentle crossing of the President's left hand, with his middle finger extended, and pausing, while it crossed his face. It was a gesture often used by the President during his Administration, thought to be a somewhat odd and/or nervous gesture on the part of the former Executive.
This movement of his finger happened with a disconcerting frequency during the President's Farewell Address.
Obama began with a gracious 'shout out' unknown exactly, what that is to thank everyone who had served him so faithfully, but he seemed to soon realize that most of them were long gone. After thanking Rahm Emanuel, Anita Dunn, Van Jones, Larry Summers, Christina Rohmer, Desiree Rogers, Peter Orzag and General James Jones, among others, he just sort of…gave up.Then, the unforgettable words of the Farewell Address of Barack Obama began thus:

They are revered but petty, earthy and accessible: fighting over human things. They, their fairies and Puck make up an entourage. Everybody wants a fairy's job, but actually it's a horrible position..being a star's assistant. Ask Puck, Cobweb, Mustard Seed, Pease-Blossom or Moth--they'll teach you a thing or two about life in a Lauren Weisberger novel. These stars may give their blessings to mortals and do magical things to them, but everybody below them is going to have hell to pay."The lovers--Hermia, Helena, Lysander and Demetrius--are good box office names, for right now and one notch down on the celebrity ladder. They live in a more "natural" world. Think Hugh Grant and Scarlet Johansson. They have stars' problems. So for example, Helena had her heart broken: her boyfriend fell in love with her best friend and doesn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.

Some artists just sound better remixed. Case in point: Lana Del Rey. Her drawl works surprisingly well with a number of different sounds, including dubstep, '80s synth, techno, even Jay-Z. Her songs lend themselves to the creative appeal of remix artists who have mastered taking her sound to a whole new level. That's why she's the first artist on our list to get the Remixology treatment. Listen to 10 of the best takes on the singer's best songs, including "Video Games," "National Anthem" and the Gatsby single, "Young & Beautiful."
Bonus: Most of these can be downloaded.
1. "Young & Beautiful (Kulkid Remix)"
Originally written for The Great Gatsby soundtrack, "Young & Beautiful" is re-imagined for the Drive soundtrack with the addition of '80s-inspired synths that gives the song an added layer of angst.
2. "Blue Jeans (RAC Remix)"
The Remix Artist Collective is known for producing stellar remixes. "Blue Jeans" is another shining example. Here, we get another '80s-inspired sound but this time it's more club-ready.
3. "Video Games (BALAM ACAB Remix)"
The surprise here is the all the whimsy added to what is normally kind of a drone of a song. It's quirky but happy, more so than the original take on this track. This is perfect headphone music.
4. "Summertime Sadness (Hannes Fischer Radio Edit)"
The Berlin-based DJ adds a whole new sound to this trip hop ballad. Suddenly the song has a sneaky little bounce and an upbeat tempo.
5. "Born To Die (Woodkid Remix)"
The last song anyone would ever imagine hearing before going into battle is "Born To Die" let alone anything from LDR. But this drum-heavy take with the surprising horn section adds an extra punch to the singer's lyrics ("Choose your last words, This is the last time, Cause you and I, We were born to die").

LAWRENCEVILLE -- Each month the Gwinnett Braves award a grant to an organization in Gwinnett or surrounding communities. In January, the Braves donated $1,000 to the Gwinnett Senior Golden Games for exemplifying the "I have a dream" theme.
The Gwinnett Senior Golden Games were started to inspire seniors to stay active. Funds from the Gwinnett Braves will be used to purchase T-shirts, award medals, athletic equipment repair, food for opening and closing ceremonies and registration forms/copying services for the event.
Golden Games President Alan Villavasso said he has been encouraged by the event's progress over the past decade.
"Our purpose is to provide seniors with an opportunity to participate in a variety of sports," Villavasso said. "We want them to meet new people, learn new leisure skills and become aware of the recreational opportunities available to the citizens of Gwinnett and neighboring communities."
For more information, visit www.gwinnettbraves.com.
'Night of Comedy' planned for Valentine's Day
DULUTH -- The Gwinnett Rotary Club and Rainbow Village have scheduled "A Night of Comedy," on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14.
The event begins at 6:30 p.m. at the 1818 Club in Duluth and includes a social reception, a heavy hors d'oeuvres dinner and a comedy show featuring nationally acclaimed comedian Pat Dixon.
Dixon is a New York-based comedian, movie critic, writer and actor. He has appeared as a correspondent on VH1, E! Television, Headline News and Fox News and on his own half-hour comedy special, "Comedy Central Presents: Pat Dixon."
Tickets to the Feb. 14 event are $50 per person and can be purchased by visiting the Rotary Club of Gwinnett's website, www.gwinnettrotary.org or www.rcggives.org.
Proceeds from the event go to Rainbow Village, a transitional housing community in Duluth for homeless families with children.
Rainbow Village is in the middle of a campaign that will, over the next five years, build a new campus to house and support 30 families, up from the organization's current capacity of 10 families.
Peachtree Ridge soccer raises $6,000 for Relay
SUWANEE -- On Jan. 24, members of the Peachtree Ridge High School Soccer Teams presented a check for $6,212 to the school's Relay for Life Team.
Peachtree Ridge High School Soccer's inaugural Paws 4 A Cause generated much of the funds. Athletes painted paw prints on the driveway leading to the school. The athletes sold sponsorships of the paws at $25, $50 and $250.
The Paws 4 A Cause fundraiser was assisted by Delta Community Credit Union's Serve and Deserve program, which encouraged high school students to become involved in their local communities.

You can come across plenty of ways in which you can make money make money at home online. Many people do the things they love to make money online. Article writing, SEO, affiliate marketing and blogging are some of the ways in which you can make money online. You can start afresh and need not have any kind of experience to make money online. -----Cash for Cars this post was edited to remove a commercial link

There are many online based businesses to generate income. Some require alot of work, some only just a few hours a month. It all depends on what your skillsets, knowledge and level of interest are.For example, if you are knowledgeable about motorcycles, you could start a blog about it. Now... the key here is to think about what would make your blog/website different from everyone elses. Will you offer in-depth instructions on how to swap out cylinders? Or you can even focus on a niche topic within the industry. The most important thing is to always pick a business idea that you have interest in. This way you`ll always remain passionate about it.
emarketed | Creator | 5/10/2010 - 3:09 pm
You can look into freelance copywriting or blogging. If you have any specialized skills (web design, photography etc), it's easy to local for some local customers. You can also sell your school books and other things you don't need on eBay. Good luck!

As a freelance writer and business consultant, a lot of people come to me with a business idea and want my help to write a formal business plan. Contrary to what many aspiring entrepreneurs think, writing a business plan isn't the first or most important step to start a business. For most people-especially those who have not yet started a business-this is actually one of the last things you want to do in the start-up and get-off-the-ground phase. This article is specifically designed for those brave souls who have never started a business, have a burning desire to do so, but don't know where to start. Here are 10 practical, learned from the school of hard knocks, that will help you avoid common pitfalls and get started right. (And keep in mind that these are intended for businesses that need little to no start-up capital.) 1. Read Before you do anything else, read these four books in order: Cash Flow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki, The Art of the Start by Guy Kawasaki, Burn Your Business Plan by David Gumpert, and The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber. 2. Dream Take time to create your business 'spiritually' before you create it physically. See it in it's best, most perfect state, as a world-class operation. How does it look, feel, taste, smell, and sound? Entrepreneurship is one of the hardest things you will ever do, and your business must invigorate and excite you consistently, otherwise you won't last through the hard times. Write these dreams down--this is not a business plan, just written dreams, plans, goals, and brainstorms. The formal business plan will come much later. 3. Research Before you invest a lot of time and money in your dream, do adequate research to find out if your idea is viable and sustainable. In this step, you basically want to ask and answer a lot of questions, such as these: Will the market support your idea? What evidence do you have to support this? What discontentment exists that your idea solves? Will it unleash an ideavirus? Who else is doing it, and how successful have they been? What will you do differently? Do you have a readily identifiable market? Do market trends support the idea, or will the idea be obsolete in a few years? Do you need funding? If so, how much and by when? What technology can be leveraged in the business? What skills do you lack necessary for the business? Remember also that hands-on experience can be the most useful form of research--you may want to implement your business on a small scale at this stage to see what the market tells you. 4. Form an Entity & Ensure Legal Compliance Assuming you're convinced that your idea will work, now it's time to make it real and form a business entity. You need an entity for four reasons: to be legal, to maximize tax savings, to decrease liability, and to maintain control. Your basic business entity options include a sole proprietorship, LLC, S-Corporation, and C-Corporation. Meet with an attorney and a CPA to discuss the differences between them and choose the appropriate entity for your uses. This will cost about $125 if you do all the paper work yourself, or between $200 and $500 if you use a professional or an attorney. In addition to your entity, you must also ensure that you are legally compliant in all other areas. For example, if you have employees, you probably need Worker's Compensation Insurance. A good attorney will help you safely navigate all of the legal issues you will face. 5. Generate Revenue This step is absolutely critical. Too many newbies try to do too much at once, and are so concerned about things like image that they spend tons of money, time, and effort on logo and branding work, marketing brochures, advertising, etc. While all of those have their place, they should be paid for BY the revenues generated by the business. Now that you've had your time to dream, it's time to be extremely pragmatic about applying them. Do whatever it takes to generate revenues, even if it means door-to-door selling. No dream, however inspiring, will ever be realized unless you can pay for it to materialize. 6. Create Financial Systems Now that you have cash flow, it's imperative that you manage it wisely. Account for EVERY income and expenditure, no matter how trivial, and maintain impeccable records. You'll be glad you did come tax time. The most common accounting software programs are Quick Books and Quicken. Or, you can use a quality bookkeeping service, which can help you with payroll and quarterly taxes in addition to keeping your records. 7. Begin Writing an Operations Manual An Operations Manual gives you the ability to leverage your efforts and duplicate yourself by providing simple, step-by-step directions that anyone can follow to perform any task. Systematizing your business is the most important thing you will ever do, and you can never start soon enough. Systems, of course, will be refined over time, but it's critical that you get them down in writing and keep them updated. You may also consider using a professional writer to write your Operations Manual. 8. Create Marketing Systems Many novices want to immediately start spending money on advertising, without knowing the costs and/or benefits. It's been said that advertising takes a lot of money, while marketing takes a lot of time. For start-ups, stick with marketing; in most cases, you have time, but you don't have money, and marketing is generally more effective anyway. Advertising is costly and relatively ineffective. Start-ups should be obsessive about managing finances wisely, and very cautious about spending money. Advertising would include things such as billboards, radio and TV ads, flyers, yellow page ads, etc. Marketing usually boils down to direct selling of some kind, whether it be telemarketing, door-to-door sales, customer referral programs, etc. If your idea and delivery systems are good enough, the business should market itself virally anyway. In any case, find something that actually gets results, stick to it, and create and document systems in your Operations Manual. 9. Refine Systems, Replace Yourself, More Refining, & Document Religiously In the first year or so, you will most likely be performing most, if not all, tasks yourself. This gives you the opportunity to learn and work out necessary details, but it won't be sustainable when it's time to grow. With an Operations Manual in place, you can now begin hiring and training others to replace you. Once they're replaced, then continue to oversee and refine the systems consistently. Also, you must be absolutely religious about documenting every aspect of your business. For example, if your business does door-to-door sales, all salesmen should document how many doors they knock, how many people they actually talk to, and how many people bought. Over time, this data will prove to be invaluable as you seek to refine your systems; without real numbers you have no idea what's working and what's not. 10. Write a Business Plan The final step in the start-up process is the one that most people think they should start with. Here's why it should come last: if you want it to secure funding, investors will want to see a proven track record before they invest anyway, and if you do it after the first nine steps, you can now do it right, with actual numbers, facts, and statistics rather than unfounded assumptions. Furthermore, this gives you an opportunity to reconnect to your dreams after wading through a lot of trials. And, like an Operations Manual, you can always use a professional writer to write your business plan. ---This post was edited to remove a commercial link.

I have been accused of turning my hobbies into businesses. But it works, for a business to succeed you must be passionate about what you are doing, and you will find it comes much easier. So rather than find just any business, find something that interests you and turn it into a business.

Starting a business to make money is one thing - but starting a business just to pay a student loan may not offer you the motivation you will need to succeed. When looking for business ideas - try starting with something that you are passionate about of at least have a strong interest in. This way, when you have to really get bogged down in the details and day-to-day stuff - you will still have the desire to plow forward. Thus, to answer your question , I will ask another question - what is it that you are passionate about and can you think of a way to either sell it to others or help others who are passionate about it as well?

I agree with the user panio. The first question I want to know is "what" did
you go to school to become. Whatever that profession or trade happens to be
THAT is the business I would start so you can pay off your school loans. Why
would you want to start another unrelated business to pay off your school

Pizza Cotta Bene: A New(ish) Old School Brooklyn Sliceria
Pizza Cotta Bene, a pizzeria in Gowanus that on paper is new (they opened just over a year ago), but you wouldn't know it by looking at it. Everything from the cheap interior tables, to the soda fountain, to the glass display case showing a half dozen by-the-slice selections looks just like the pizzerias of my youth, and good news: the pizza is good. Great, even. More

GERMANTOWN. Tenn. -
Lamar freshmen Bertille DuPont and Wenny Chang led the way on the first day of the season-opening FedEx Memphis Women's Intercollegiate Monday afternoon for the Lady Cardinal golf team. The duo fired a 10-over 152 on the par-71, 6,105-yard Ridgeway Country Club course. Lamar's freshman tandem enters Tuesday's final round tied for 14th overall. The Cardinals ended the day fourth overall just 11 strokes off the leaders.
Both Chang and Dupont struggled in the opening round of the tournament, and both showed poise battling back in the second round. After firing a 10-over 81 in the first round, Chang carded Lamar's best round of the day when she fired a 71 in the second. It was a similar story for Dupont, who battled back from an eight-over 79 in the first round to record the team's second-lowest round with a two-over 73.
Sophomore Taylor Stockton is only one stroke back of the freshmen. She opened the day with a five-over, 76, and closed out Monday with 77 in the final round. Stockton heads into the final round of action tied for 19th overall.
Junior Nghi Ngo is tied for 23rd overall after carding a 74-81 - 155. Senior Katelyn McDougal was unable to find her stroke throughout the day. She was 16-over par after the opening round, but was able to improve upon that in the second round. She is currently 51st overall with a 167.
The Lady Cardinals will tee off at 1:30 Tuesday afternoon for the final round of action. Lamar will be grouped with Sam Houston State and tournament-host Memphis.

Just backed it! Looks very cool, possibly a nice replacement for my Apple Universal Dock.
Elevation Dock for iPhone
If you're a fan of the glass bead-blasted aluminum look of Apple's MacBook line and wished you could have an iPhone dock with the same level of elegant sophistication and industrial beauty, you're in luck -- head on over to Kickstarter and back the Elevation Dock now.
Simple to use, quick undocking, and it works with or without a case. We didn't stop there - It's beautifully precision machined from solid aluminum and it comes in a gorgeous set of surface finishes, setting a new bar for quality and something that looks really good on your desk. It complements the high-level craftsmanship of the iPhone like no other.
Can't wait for mine to get here. Kickstarter is costing me some money.

Elevation Dock for iPhone
I was one of the first 50 backers. I think it is pretty exciting to see how fast he is raising money. I'm sure he was planning on contracting with a CNC shop to produce these. If the backing keeps coming in at this rate he will have the money to buy his on CNC machines and go to town. Very cool!
good luck to an entreprenaer but honestly i have no problem with the cheapo dock i bought for 5 bones on the internet 5 years ago. it still works even with my new iphone 4s. and when i want to take the iphone out of the dock i just use two hands. Never even knew it was a problem. But i will say his looks nice. good luck to him. i wish him well though.
My respect goes out to fellow mobile entrepreneurs, but me thinks it's a bit pricey.
cool one... will get this soon for my iphone ...
Very cool bc I HATE having to remove the damn case to charge the phone
The black one called my name at a price that's understandable. That orange choice had me really tempted though....
Not sure I like Kickstarter. Today was my first visit there and I stopped looking after clicking on one of the choices for the espresso machine. Don't need to find anything else on there to support for a while now. Unless someone has some great portable speakers

TLS endpoint wrappers
|Reported by:

(diff, github, buildbot, log)
|Launchpad Bug:
If I construct my own stream client or stream server endpoint, in addition to whatever interesting routing or shuttling-around of I'm doing with the bytes, I might want to encrypt them because they go over some public network as part of the process. There should be something so I can do TLSify(someEndpoint, contextFactory) and get back a new endpoint that does TLS without necessarily doing TCP.
(One example use-case is an endpoint that forwards a port via SSH, or opens a unix socket that some routing software eventually connects to a TCP socket.)

Since you're working on endpoints. (It would be neat, but no worries, no particular high priority.)
comment:2 Changed 2 years ago by tom.prince
#6308 is a duplicate of this:
The current way of doing SSL with endpoints involves using listenSSL/connectSSL. This means you need one for each of TCPv4 and TCPv6, and we'll need one for the hostname endpoint too. And, you can't use it with e.g. a SOCKS endpoint.
Better would be an endpoint (or maybe I mean pair of endpoints, one client one server) that wrap an existing endpoint. Ideally this wouldn't even call transport.startTLS, but rather use the TLS protocol implementation directly.

comment:6 Changed 2 years ago by habnabit
I have a slightly better and tested version of this in txsocksx now: https://github.com/habnabit/txsocksx/blob/dadcf0567f18f47ffb6d2c0e551b22c0977c0336/txsocksx/ssl.py#L26-62
My previous implementation used TLSMemoryBIOFactory, which was not compatible with e.g. Agent because of TLSMemoryBIOFactory's use of WrappingProtocol. Specifically, WrappingProtocol proxies unknown attribute accesses to the *transport* instead of the *wrapped factory*, and Agent was trying to access the request method on the Protocol it was handed back from the endpoint. Normally this would be a HTTP11ClientProtocol, but when using TLSMemoryBIOFactory, it was instead a WrappingProtocol. wrappingProtocol.request then resulted in accessing the request attribute of a tcp.Client instance, which failed.
Instead, the new implementation calls startTLS on the protocol's transport as soon as the endpoint's deferred fires with a protocol. This new approach is easier to test, certainly. It won't, however, AFAIK allow for TLS over TLS. I suppose ultimately the question is then "should the resulting endpoint wrapper support TLS over TLS?"

startTLS is one of those "it would be nice to get rid of it eventually (but it's pretty old and core, who knows if we'll actually ever do that)" APIs. Still, if twisted.protocols.tls is deficient in some way compared to startTLS, let's discuss those deficiencies as bugs to be fixed.
comment:9 Changed 2 years ago by glyph
Yeah, let's at least try not to add new functionality that depends on startTLS unless it needs to. In the absence of generalized protocol switching, I think some things do still need to; but this does not seem to be one of them, since it starts the protocol as TLS.

I am a bit skeptical this can't be done using twisted.protocols.tls, given that that's what startTLS uses... but maybe there's some functionality elsewhere that needs to be used as glue.

It depends on what you're referring when you say "this". Right now it's certainly possible to use twisted.protocols.tls as a wrapper—the difficult part is that then the semantics differ. Specifically, wrapping vs. not-wrapping changes what you get when your endpoint fires with a Protocol.

The semantics from the observer's perspective really ought not to differ. Of course what you get for your Protocol's transport attribute might differ between these two implementation approaches, but you can very easily change what you get back from an endpoint by adding a callback to the (wrapped) endpoint that returns some other value.
Why would it not be possible to add such a callback in this case?

Ah! That would do it. I simply hadn't thought of that as an option. I'll try it now, but I suspect that's all that's necessary.
comment:14 Changed 2 years ago by habnabit
Yes! That is all that's necessary for using TLSMemoryBIOFactory as a wrapper. Here's a minimal implementation:
class TLSWrapClientEndpoint(object): implements(interfaces.IStreamClientEndpoint) def __init__(self, contextFactory, wrappedEndpoint): self.contextFactory = contextFactory self.wrappedEndpoint = wrappedEndpoint def connect(self, fac): fac = tls.TLSMemoryBIOFactory(self.contextFactory, True, fac) return self.wrappedEndpoint.connect(fac).addCallback(self._unwrapProtocol) def _unwrapProtocol(self, proto): return proto.wrappedProtocol
The problem remains that I'm unsure how to test this—is there a fake TLSMemoryBIOFactory, or should the test maybe do a real TLS handshake?
comment:15 follow-up: ↓ 16 Changed 23 months ago by exarkun
You can test most of this without getting anything TLS-related involved.
"TLS endpoint wrapper" is just a particular instance of "endpoint wrapper".
You can test most of the logic with a much simpler kind of wrapping - say, a wrapper that sends every byte incremented by one.
Then "TLS endpoint wrapper" is just a particular assembly of existing, well-tested components that only needs sufficient tests to verify the assembly was done correctly.

This is clearly not a realistic demonstration of a cryptographic protocol.
Now, if you were to xor every byte it with a bit-pattern like 0b01010101 (ASCII: "U") that would totally be a realistic simulation.
comment:17 Changed 20 months ago by itamar
Here are the tests I would write:
- connect() returns instance of protocol created with given factory.
- This protocol's transport is a TLSMemwWhatever.
- This TLSMemwWhatever is using the correct context factory.
- This TLSMemwWhatever's transport is the transport hooked up by the underlying wrapped endpoint.
- This TLSMemwWhatever is in client mode.

comment:21 Changed 16 months ago by habnabit
So, I'm trying to figure out how exactly the clientFromString for this should behave. Originally I wrote a tls: string parser that would take an endpoint description and wrap that endpoint.
However, this whole thing, of course, needs hostname validation for clients. It's a bit redundant to specify, say, tls:tcp\:example.com\:443:hostname=example.com. I'm thinking now that the tls: parser should use HostnameEndpoint underneath to establish connections. So, tls:example.com:443, and it passes the hostname both to HostnameEndpoint and CertificateOptions. There can be a separate tlswrap: endpoint type that does wrap another endpoint.

Thanks very much habnabit.
- TLSWrapperClientEndpoint should probably just be called TLSClientEndpoint.
- the fac parameter to should be protocolFactory, so sayeth the interface. (So say we all.) But also don't have names like "fac".
- Pretty sure you don't have to do stuff like this:
+ @ivar prefix: See + L{IStreamClientEndpointStringParserWithReactor.prefix}.properties should be the same as methods in this regard. If pydoctor fills in the information correctly like it does with methods, please just remove it. (Although if you got hassled by twistedchecker or pydoctor about this, please file a bug on the appropriate tool.)
- _parseClient is very ugly. This is a bug, or at the very least a missing feature, in zope.interface. Obviously it should be left in place to satisfy the verifyObject tests or whatever, but please file a bug against ZI and link to it from the docstring.
- TLSWrapperClientEndpoint is actually a totally general wrapper endpoint - to the point where its test cases actually verify its generality via the upper-casing wrapper factory - made specific only by the fact that it curries only a single argument into its _wrapper callable. If it's any significant amount of work at all, don't bother with this, but it seems like you could trivially convert it into a WrapperEndpoint and then just have a wrapTLSEndpoint function that used it with TLSMemoryBIOFactory and did the currying with a lambda rather than something that required documentation as an argument and an ivar and so on. If you decide not to do this then please file a ticket for generalizing it to a wrapper endpoint to facilitate other kinds of composition.
- test_endpoints.FakeEndpoint
- There are a couple of other bits of code within Twisted which already do parts of this; twisted.conch.test.test_endpoints.SingleUseMemoryEndpoint, some stuff in twisted.internet.test.fakeendpoint. As we create fakes like this we should always be careful to clean things up, to centralize them, to test them and to make them public. Consider putting this somewhere like proto_helpers, but at least eliminate the duplication with conch.
- Consider splitting the fake into two objects so that the system under test doesn't have access to endpoint.deferred without typing at least a few underscores. It would obviously be bad to end up testing that. (This is a general design thing we should get better at with test doubles, too.)
- Don't create new old-style classes, even in tests :-). UppercaseWrapperFactory and NetstringTracker and NetstringFactory should all inherit from object.
- NetstringFactory shouldn't be a ClientFactory, endpoints don't even use ClientFactorys.
- Except don't bother even having NetstringFactory. Kill several lines of docstrings and just use Factory.forProtocol.
- Assert something useful about the error message in test_noSSLSupport. (Like, that it contains the word "SSL" and ideally something about installing pyOpenSSL). We need to get better about considering the usability of such messages.
- test_utf8Encoding's docstring is a little confusing because it uses the word "or". It passes the correct type to each underlying API, it should just say what it passes where.
- test_defaultSSLOptions reveals some unfortunate things about the implementation of this API. Since the tls: prefix is new code, we don't have any compatibility expectations for it, so it should be as secure as possible by default. That means that, being client TLS, it should always verify by default, using the default platformTrust. Turning off verification, while it should still be possible, should be ugly and highly visible on the command line. absolutelyNoSecurity:True is better than verify:False. This means you can't use the caCerts and verify parameters (which should probably be deprecated anyway) - use the trustRoot argument to CertificateOptions.
- As a corrolary to the previous point, tlswrap: should take a mandatory hostname as its first parameter, which can optionally be like * or something if you really really don't want to pass a hostname. (This is extra nice because shell globbing will helpfully screw it up and you'll have to quote the whole thing in order to get it to work.)
- Given that tlswrap: is a bit more esoteric and is also a bunch of additional code, it would make sense to split this up. Especially given the length of this review ;-).
- In the endpoints.rst:
- under "TLS", contextEndpoint is unused and contextFactory is undefined.
- in the "TLS wrapper" section, you use tls: instead of tlswrap: for the example.
comment:29 in reply to: ↑ 28 Changed 10 months ago by tom.prince
Regarding point 5 of glyph's review: Given that we eventually want to factor things into a generic wrapper; if it isn't done in this branch, we should avoid exposing the non-generic wrapper endpoint as a public class. That is, just provide wrapTLSEndpoint as the public function, and make the class itself private. That way, we won't need to continue providing the non-generic class.

So when the folks at Warner Bros. Animation decided to put together an all-new Batman series to tie in with the impending release of "Batman Begins," they made the daring but ultimately wise choice of completely revamping the world of Bruce Wayne, at least in terms of style and presentation. "The Batman," which debuted in September 2004 on the Kids WB!, played out as something of a "Young Batman Adventures," with the episodes focusing on the Dark Knight's earliest years as a superhero. The deep, raspy voice of Kevin Conroy (who took the lead role in the 1990s series, and who still voices Batman on Cartoon Network's "Justice League") was replaced with Rino Romano, a thirtysomething voiceover veteran who sounds like he's in his early twenties. Commissioner Gordon is nowhere to be seen; instead, we get two young detectives who are always on Batman's trail - and in a nifty twist, one of them is Bruce Wayne's best friend. Robin is also absent, Bruce has yet to get a handle on how to be Batman and run Wayne Industries, and the Rogues Gallery of villains are only beginning to emerge.… Expand

Team combines unity, titles
For a cheer team to make it to THE ONE Cheer and Dance Championships means it's already had an outstanding season.
Cheer Extreme Sanford's Vengeance earned its place in New Orleans, then won the Senior Level 3 Championship there last weekend.
Vengeance won the south championship, bringing home banners, trophies and jackets. It also won the opportunity to compete head to head, virtually, on May 3 versus THE ONE's north champion for the Senior Level 3's overall championship and championship rings.
Vengeance won its berth to New Orleans by winning the grand championship at the Champion Cheer and Dance competition in Raleigh in December. Every team in New Orleans was already a champ as only squads with first-place finishes were invited to THE ONE.
Team Vengeance set out on a 16-hour bus trip Friday morning and competed for two days.
The team's coaches credit the leadership by the athletes and the team being "United as one" for Vengeance's success and tight bond as a group.
Head coach Brandon Hale says Vengeance's routine is not a traditional one.
"We have taken our story," he said, "and have beautifully assembled a tribute to diversity. This team shows true love and desire for the sport of all-star cheerleading."
"United as one" has become the team's theme for the season - which keeps going one more victory at a time. The sign language symbol for "I love you" has become the sign for the team.
Team Vengeance has been united, perhaps becoming more united, through challenges during the season. The team's overcome injuries, forcing others to fill in at times.
A number of the Cheer Extreme Sanford kids have parents currently in the military, some serving overseas.
"These kids are looking out into the crowds and seeing other moms and dads knowing their parents are out of the country," Hale said.
Hale said this team has renewed his own love for the sport. Aside from the trophies, which always help, the team inspires the younger level athletes within Cheer Extreme Sanford. The routine's diversity and inspirational qualities have grown from the team itself.
Team Vengeance includes a flyer with one arm, a flyer with a clubbed foot, a back spot who has visual and auditory impairments and a coach who wears two hearing aids.
"During the season," Hale said, "there were many coaches, owners, judges, that came up to our coaches and owners with tears in their eyes over the beautifully displayed message."

Summer Spotlight: Morgan Johnson
July 2, 2012
RALEIGH, N.C.-- With a sport like gymnastics there is never really an offseason because there is always something in a routine that can be improved or perfected. Senior Morgan Johnson has been in the gym this summer working on different aspects of her routine for her last season with the Wolfpack.
Johnson was a mainstay in the lineup for the Pack last season, competing on vault in every meet with the exception of Oklahoma. The senior posted a 9.8 on vault at the Sweetheart Invitational and finished third in the event against William & Mary.
The senior gymnast is embracing her new role as a leader, being one of only two seniors on the squad for next season. Johnson sees the role as one that will be challenging at times because of the potential to be a fairly young team, but not overbearing.
Q: What have you been doing this summer in preparation for next season?
Q: What do you want to improve on before next season?
Q: What does it mean to be one of only two seniors on the team?
Q: What are your individual goals for next season?
Q: What are your goals for the team next season?
Q: Outside of gymnastics, how have you spent your summer?

Health Update: How Friends May Make Labor Easier
Although labor isn't always one of those the more, the merrier moments, it may pay to ease up on your privacy policy. In a recent study of nearly 600 women in the journal Birth, those who had a female friend or relative serve as a doula in the delivery room (usually alongside, not instead of, their partners) reported shorter labors, were more likely to breastfeed, and had more new-mommy confidence six weeks later than those who did not.
Research shows that the mere presence of another woman during labor lowers levels of anxiety, pain, and fear, says study author Della Campbell, RN, PhD, an assistant professor at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. When you experience those emotions, your body releases a series of hormones that triggers muscles to relax. And this actually disrupts the labor process because the uterus needs to contract in order to push the baby out.
So is this the right move for you? Read on.

JetBlue Airways and United-Continental are one step closer to offering Ka-band-supported in-flight connectivity to passengers with the announcement that ViaSat's new high-capacity satellite, ViaSat-1, will launch next week.
ViaSat-1 was expected to be launched into orbit on 29 September. However, just over a month before launch, a Russian-built Proton rocket experienced a launch failure resulting in the loss of an unrelated satellite, which pushed back the scheduled launch of ViaSat-1.
In a statement today, ViaSat said its Ka-band satellite will launch on 19 October, and "is designed to transform the economics and quality of service that satellite broadband can provide, with the capacity to serve the accelerating growth in bandwidth demand for multimedia Internet access over the next decade and enable satellite to compete with terrestrial alternatives".
The high-capacity Ka-band spot beam satellite has planned coverage over North America and Hawaii. With a capacity estimated at 140Gbps, ViaSat-1 "will become the highest capacity satellite in the world once it is safely on orbit", claimed ViaSat.
ViaSat is working with JetBlue unit LiveTV to bring Ka-band-supported connectivity to JetBlue's entire fleet and some 200 United-Continental domestic aircraft. Installation of the required connectivity kit on JetBlue aircraft is expected to start next year.
United-Continental currently offers Gogo's air-to-ground-based connectivity solution on a dozen Boeing 757s.

The Arizona Fall League has always been Major League Baseball's laboratory. The most promising players and managers are sent to the AFL to compete against their peers.
This week, the AFL is conducting a test of replay. MLB is poised to adopt a replay system for next year, and on Tuesday night, it had its first test run.
Four calls were challenged in the Salt River Rafters-Mesa Solar Sox game, and with former major league managers and current MLB executives Tony La Russa and Joe Torre watching, all four were upheld.
This week-long experiment will try to show any remaining skeptics that replay works, and won't slow the game down.
The betting here is that a year from now, the only question will be: Why did it take us so long?
Orioles AFL update
The Surprise Saguaros, managed by Bowie's Gary Kendall have the best record in the AFL, 15-7-1, and have won their last three. Kendall also managed the West to a win in Saturday's AFL All-Star Game.
The regular season concludes on Nov. 14.
Henry Urrutia is batting .354 with two home runs and eight RBIs. Michael Ohlman, who starred for Frederick, and hopes to be added to the 40-man roster, is batting .350 with two homers and five RBIs in seven games. Cuban defector Dariel Alvarez is batting .255 with seven RBIs. Jonathan Schoop, who hasn't played since Oct. 30, is batting .149.
Tim Berry, a onetime 50th round draft choice, is 2-0 with a 2.03 ERA with 10 strikeouts and three walks in 13 1/3 innings. There's a chance Berry could also be added to the 40-man.

You nailed it flapjacket.
The reason you don't understand Zongo, is because you didn't serve.
As a drafted combat Vietnam vet, I want the best men and equpment to protect us. And I don't mind going down to support our Marines.
Dannielitld, if you want fun and lively, you can stay home amd watch the Blues Brothers movie. Rev. James Brown really moves it. You can "See the light" over and over.
Taht's right baphomet, yours and mine.
Wow, are you some sort of prophet brother Steve, you shepherded your family, dozens of neighbors, and dozens of friends to a new community (what ever that means). Thanks, I needed a little more room in the pew.
Next time Eric and John, could we have something a man like to do.
Then they are not Catholic AgatBuster.
I agree with you Retired, they have to belittle Patricia because they are little.
One of the best. Rest in Peace Father.
Whew, thought it might be something else.
I see on his facebook page where he got his idea on current events: South Park, Family Guy, Futurama, The Simpsons, etc. What a loser.
Good luck Everett, from one grunt to another.
I knew when I first started to read your post, it was going to be crude. So nice to be like herself, good luck with that.
I think it's racist to say that minorities are unable to get an ID card. It's not that hard.
Keep your goverment out of my religion. Thank you in advance.

good bakery? w/cappucino and nice scones-pastries?
- j
any reccomendations. live in burbank, will travel if necessary.
Europane, on Colorado near Lake in Pasadena, has splendid cappuccino and the best scones in the city. I like the ones with candied ginger the best. There have been times when I found ways to end up at Europane something like 25 times in a month.
re: Tom Armitage
Panos--a branch of what was reputedly hands-down the best Armenian bakery in Beirut--is great, but isn't it more of a ketaif 'n Turkish coffee place than a cappuccino and scones place? Still: good score.
Mastercake, an awesome Cuban bakery on Glenoaks, might then qualify, if cafe con leche and pasteles count too. :-}
re: Pepper
You're right--I interpreted the question broadly to refer to a "good bakery" with "pastries," not limited to scones. Panos probably doesn't even know what a scone is, but it does have some great pastries. By the way, there's also a branch of Panos in Hollywood at 5150 Hollywood Blvd.
re: Tom Armitage
Check out Old town bakery and resturant, on the corner of colorado and Pasadena Ave, across from Urban Outfitters, in Pasadena, its great, great desserts and a full menu, but still small, outside and inside seating
