Normal customers should be more than satisfied with Wi-Fi networks of 750 Mbps, or even 300 Mbps (when there isn't the 5 GHz band to add 450 Mbps to the 300 of the 2.4 GHz band). The military wants more though.
DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is more than eager to comply with the wishes of the US military.
In fact, its latest project has the primary goal of building a wireless communications link that can broadcast signals of 100 Gbps over a distance of 200 kilometers (124 miles, give or take).
That's at the same level as a low-end fiber optics network. This could be a very great boon for controlling UAVs, sending/receiving intelligence from far-off countries, etc.
The official name of the technology will be "100 Gb/s RF Backbone" and the short name will be 100G.
Once again, radio frequency is the only method that DARPA can call upon in order to create a device capable of 100 Gbps over so many kilometers.
Right now, ViaSat-1 is the highest bandwidth satellite in orbit, with a geosynchronous Ka-band communications satellite being the closest second (currently in orbit above the USA).
The latter might actually be used instead of the former, since the Ka-band is less vulnerable to rain fade.
The drawback is that, even if the full capacity is of 134 Gbps, the bandwidth per link will never be so high because the 134 Gbps are the cumulative performance of 56 Ka transponders.
Nevertheless, good enough encoding/multiplexing techniques should compensate for this.
DARPA may consider using other methods of wireless transmissions, but the only so-called alternative to radio frequency is visible light, which can, indeed, reach 2.5 Tbps, but only over a distance of one meter.
As for free-space optical communications, clouds make short work of those, which definitely doesn't help when the distance that needs to be covered is 200 kilometers.
When DARPA finishes setting everything up for the military, the consumer market should be eligible for better networking too.

Since High School:
I played American Legion baseball the summer of 1967 before
entering into the University of Illinois in the fall. I originally
entered into engineering with the idea of being a civil engineer,
but after taking a number of aptitude tests, I figured they knew
what they were doing and transferred into accounting my
freshman year and stayed there my entire four years at Illinois.
While at Illinois I lived in the dorm my freshman year with Dick
Schuettner and moved into Theta Delta Chi fraternity my
sophomore year serving as Treasurer and President of the
fraternity. I earned my freshman numerals in baseball for the
University of Illinois and tried to be a walk-on my sophomore
year but didn't make the grade. I received a BS in Accounting in
June 1971 and a 2nd Lieutenant commission for the Army.
Thank goodness Viet Nam ended my senior year so all I had to
do was serve a couple years in the active reserves.
After college, I went to work for Union Oil Company of California
(in the building that is now Roosevelt University across from
Woodfield shopping center in Schaumburg). I worked for Union
Oil for almost ten years, primarily in the Schaumburg office for a
division called AMSCO (American Mineral Spirits Company),
although I did spend almost three years in LaMirada, California
outside of Los Angeles. They marketed and sold the
by-products from refineries and resale chemicals. During that
time I completed my MBA through extension classes for Northern
Illinois University.
I worked for Motorola for a year before taking the Corporate
Controller job at AXIA (a $350 million conglomerate) in
Oakbrook for nearly four years. I tried my hand at my own
executive search firm for a year; but when the economy was
down (1983-84), I decided to place myself and did so with
Abbott Laboratories where I worked for 17 years before retiring
in 2001. I held the jobs of Group Controller Diagnostic
Products, Assistant Corporate Controller Financial Planning,
and Vice President & Controller, Pharmaceuticals.
Since retiring I have held the treasurer position for a couple
non-profit organizations and enjoy playing tennis three times a
week and golf a couple times a week. I have improved a little in
tennis, but can't get the mustard at improving on my 16
handicap in golf.
I met Cheryl Smith (a '72 Conant grad) at Union Oil; we married
December 8, 1973, honeymooned in Hawaii and on the way
back, stayed and lived in Los Angeles for a couple years. We
moved back to Elk Grove in 1976 and then into Inverness in
We had daughters Melissa (1977) & Heather (1978) and son Eric
(1982). All three graduated St. Theresa grade school in Palatine
and Fremd High School. Melissa was on the state champion
Fremd pom squad, Heather was a cheerleader in grade school
and Eric played travel baseball and played football, basketball
and baseball in high school where he was honorable mention All
Area catcher his senior year. Eric played baseball for Oakton
Community College before transferring to the University of Iowa
where he received a BA, Sociology. Melissa graduated Western
Illinois University in Education; and Heather graduated Columbia
College in Chicago in Fashion Management.
Heather married Chicago policeman Paul Peraino in 2003, lives
in Chicago, and gave birth Jake (2006), Nick (2008) and Leah
(2011). Melissa married Fremd grad Chas Pettrone in 2005, lives
in Crystal Lake, and gave birth to Charlie (2006), Anthony (2008)
and Ella (2012). Eric married Melissa Donovan, lives in
downtown Chicago, has son Hayden (2013) and works for HUB
International as a senior claims adjuster
Bob Hoffman
: Melissa (Eric's girl friend),
son Eric, wife Cheryl, Bob, 2 cruise
waiters, and son-in-law Chas;
: son-in-law Paul, daughter
Heather and daughter Melissa.
Since retiring, I have been involved in "old man's" tennis
and golf. I am part of a group of 25 "generally" retired men
that play tennis on Wednesday and Friday mornings for
about three hours at the MidTown Health Club in Palatine.
I'm also involved with a 150 member golf group called the
Palatine Hills Golf Association. I was treasurer for each for
a couple years. My tennis partner and I are Club Doubles
Champions for our bracket three years running
(2005-2007) and my golf partner and I won the end of year
Takahashi Classic Tournament finishing 1st out of 44
teams in 2005.
My wife and I travel as much as we can. We have a winter
home in Fort Myers, Florida, try to make Las Vegas once a
year, and take family cruises once every other year. In
2003, my wife's family (32 in all) went on a one week cruise
to the Caribbean which I highly recommend to everyone.
For my 40th birthday, my brother gave me a trip to the St.
Louis Cardinal Fantasy Baseball camp ran by Randy
Hundley. It was "the time of my life". I got to share
lockers with Lou Brock and Curt Flood and hit off of Bob
Gibson. We played in Busch Stadium (the old St. Louis
Cardinal's home field) and it's a trip I'll never forget.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- There have been 134 traffic fatalities so far this year in Jacksonville. Police say they're seeing a dangerous rise in deadly accidents, and as a result there's now a new push underway.
"We need you to cross at the crosswalks don't dart out into the street," said Mike Johnson with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. "Use the sidewalks."
Assistant Chief Johnson, patrols what's called zone 3. It includes San Jose, the Southside, parts of I-295 and Philips highway. So far this year in just his area alone they've handled 51 traffic fatalities, 14 of those have been pedestrians.
In an effort to help prevent deadly accidents officers say they have a plan. There's a new campaign on the horizon. Johnson believes enforcement is a big part of the solution, along with education.
They plan to start handing out informational flyers. Along with checking for adequate lighting at busy intersections, and making sure that the traffic lights are timed correctly.
"The days of written warnings have come to an end because of the rise in traffic fatalities," said Johnson.
Police plan to begin writing more citations and their will be a focus on pedestrians.

I needed information on boots for a trip to Antarctica. The person who helped me over the phone was extremely informative with first hand knowledge on what we would need. The price of the boots was better than any other on-line site or any of our local stores. We were facing a deadline as to getting the boots in time for our trip but the NSN shipped them the quickest way possible. There was a problem with one set of boots and NSN paid for the return shipping and refunded our money---without any hassle!!!!! I strongly recommend them--for their knowledge, their products and their customer service!!

A near perfect re-creation of a venerated instrument.
Today's 1957 Les Paul Custom from Gibson Custom is presented with all the historically accurate appointments and legendary tone of the original. No detail is overlooked, including a solid, non-weight relieved mahogany body with carved mahogany top. The headstock is made from Holly head veneer, as opposed to fiber, just like it was in 1957, and the vintage-style kidney tulip tuners are mounted in a straight line, also as they were on the original. The 24 ¾-inch scale length neck is made from one solid piece of mahogany, and attached to the body using a long neck tenon one of the Les Pauls more distinguishing characteristics of the 1950s. The neck is topped by a 22-fret ebony fingerboard outfitted with pearl block inlays matching the size of color of the originals.
Of course, two of Gibsons legendary Burstbucker pickups deliver all the subtle variations of true, classic humbucker tone by using historically unmatched bobbin windings and Alnico II magnets.
Other historical appointments include CTS potentiometers, bumble bee capacitors, multi-ply white and black binding on both the top and back, gold hardware, period-correct Switchmaster jack and jackplate and Gibson's traditional early '50s rounded neck profile. Each guitar also comes with the standard Gibson Custom case

I want to welcome everyone to the Downers Grove Police Department web page. It is a pleasure to be able to showcase the many talents that the members of the Downers Grove Police Department possess.

HIV/ AIDS and homelessness are interconnected problems that cause tremendous suffering. Up to 50% of people living with HIV/AIDS are at risk of becoming homeless, because of medical expenses and discrimination from employers. Homelessness is truly life-threatening for people living with HIV/AIDS. Poor hygiene, stress, malnutrition, cold weather, and poorly ventilated shelters all increase the risk of disease.
The Lantern Organization has pioneered the development of permanent supportive housing for people living with HIV/ AIDS. When Lantern staff proposed one of the first supportive housing developments for people living with HIV/AIDS at a community board meeting in 1995, they faced a crowd that shouted violently throughout the meeting. They refused to back down. Now, Lantern Organization continues to provide supportive housing to a population that so desperately needs it.

Congratulations to Newsday first published on September 4, 1940 on your 73rd Anniversary. In the 1960s, NYC was blessed with over 12 daily newspapers sold at several thousand neighborhood newsstands. I still remember many of Newsday's competitors from decades ago such as the Long Island Star Journal, Long Island Press and Suffolk Sun who have come and gone.
How fortunate that we live in one of the few remaining free societies, with a wealth of information sources available. Most American cities and suburbs are down to one local daily or weekly newspaper. Newspapers and magazines have to deal with increasing costs for newsprint, delivery and distribution along with reduced advertising revenues and declining readership due to competition from the Internet and other new information sources.
In Queens, Nassau and Suffolk , there continues to be ongoing circulation battles between a number of daily newspapers. Readers can select from Newsday along with the New York Times, Post and Daily News. There is also national editions of USA Today and the Wall Street Journal along with freebies such as AM New York and Metro New York. More people turn to all news radio, national network news such as ABC, CBS, NBC along with their local affiliates, News 1 (New York City), News 10/CBS Long Island, News 12 (Long Island), FOX-5, WOR-9, WPIX-11, PBS along with cable new stations such as CNBC, CNN, FOX, BBC and the Internet for late breaking news which can sometimes become stale by the time it reaches print the next day. A growing population of new immigrants supports their own newspaper, radio and television stations.
Weekly newspapers such as our own Queens Courier along with friendly competitors d papers such as the Queens Chronicle, Queens Tribune, Queens Gazette, Queens Examiner, Queens Times, Queens Times Ledger, Queens Forum, Times Newsweekly and Rockaway based Wave provide competition in their ability to concentrate exclusively on local neighborhood news. Just across the city line, there is also the Great Neck News, Great Neck Record along with Dan's Papers and the monthly Long Island Press.
Daily newspapers concentrate on international, Washington, Albany business and sports stories. They have few reporters assigned to cover local neighborhood news stories. These reporters have to compete against colleagues for limited available print space. As a result, many daily newspapers such as the New York Times, Daily News, and Post frequently miss significant news and political stories from our local Great Neck villages and unincorporated neighborhoods. Our own Queens Courier and sister publication Courier Sun provide more in depth coverage than daily papers of local community news.
Many of us have a continued thirst for news not only from Washington, Albany and City Hall but also neighborhoods and local issues, which impact our daily lives. Your weekly newspapers also provide opportunity and training for reporters. You never know who might move on to work for other daily newspapers.
If you really want to be informed of what goes on in the neighborhood, read your local weekly community newspaper. Patronize their advertisers and shop local. They help your friendly newspapers survive and neighborhood prosper.
I continue to be grateful that our own Queens Courier and Newsday along with other daily and weekly newspapers, afford me an opportunity to express my views, as well as differing opinions. Thanks to you, ordinary citizens have the freedom to comment on the actions and legislation of elected officials. Public officials use taxpayer dollars to promote their views, via mass mailings of newsletters, news releases, letters to the editor and guest opinion page columns. In many cases, they are produced or written by campaign or office staffers who are paid for by taxpayers. The rest of us have limited time to submit a letter. In the marketplace of ideas, let us hope there continues to be room for everyone, including Newsday, the Great Neck News and all the other newspapers. They all fill a valuable niche in the information highway.

Amputated Bechem United team manager gets prosthetic leg
Posted: Thursday, 31st July 2014 0 comments - you should start the discussion!
Bechem United team manager Francis Bruce-Thompson, whose right leg was amputated four months ago, has obtained a prosthetic leg.

reclaiming the body
Think of the well-meaning ecological designer at a green architecture firm, for instance. How can this person begin to think creatively outside the box, when he wakes each day to the digital pulse of an alarm clock, sits for eight hours a day in a cubicle, within a square building, staring into a squarish monitor? If there is music playing in the background of this scene, chances are it is in 4/4 time—yet another box. His body experiences nothing but the box, and in this box, it becomes very difficult for him to experience that flow of creativity and innovation which science itself has recognized to be the basis for evolution and change. We've known for decades that it isn't hip to be square, now we must make sure that we design a way out of the box.
I really enjoyed NalaWalla's "Reclaiming the Body: The Bodybased Arts as Center of the 'New Village'" (PDF). Lots to think about here.

Just as everyone in the enormous crowd gets excited to see fifteen minutes worth of the annual Yakama Nation Legends Casino Fireworks, Toppenish, WA, the pyrotechnic show suddenly stops. Around 10:24pm, the official man on the mic says "Hope you enjoy the show, we are going to have to stop because of the fire and the wind". During the show, it was evident to see one of the fireworks had set off the fire in a nearby field. There were many spectators parked on and off the Casino grounds who witnessed the once small flame to become somewhat uncontrolled wildfire. By the end of the night, there was major traffic jam on Fort Road and the fire was immediately doused by the Toppenish Fire Department.

Who doesn't love this man? Barneys New York is now carrying "I <3 Bill Cunningham" t-shirts from Bowery Trucks for $65, so everyone can share their fondness for the deeply charming street-style New York Times photographer and New York fashion world fixture. To put it mildly, it's a pretty simple design, and the blue heart featured on the shirt looks like it's a nod to the robin's egg smocks Cunningham often sports. We have to say, however, that it's hard to envision the intensely private Cunningham approving his name being used for these t-shirts. Last we heard, he still hadn't seen the Oscar-shortlisted documentary Bill Cunningham New York, but perhaps he's warming to the spotlight a little more? We reached out to Barney's to see if Cunningham was involved with the shirt's design and will update you when we hear back.
Update, 1/16: A Barneys rep got back to us to say Bill Cunningham gave his blessings for the shirts to be made but that, "there was no collaboration in any way and [Cunningham] was not involved." So there you go.

Didn't Jones struggle to get Rampage down early in the fight before Page faded?
JDS would land 1 big uppercut and it would be over...at least I think.
If Bones really is this beastly and is able to truly toss the undisputed HW Champ around....then it is really a shame he is wasting his time fighting guys who failed in 185 title fights..
I said his TDD hasn't been tested against a truly elite level wrestler who has fully committed to take downs and a game plan. Just like Machida, before he ran into Jones. Remember? Machida had the best TDD ever according to the majority of fans. That opinion seemed to change in a heart beat after Jones tossed him to the ground like a dogs chew toy and murdered him with elbows.
Jones isn't wasting any thing. He's going to go down in history as the greatest mixed martial arts fighter to ever exist. Love him, hate him, what ever, it doesn't matter. The kid is just too freakishly talented. After he's dried out the LHW division of every contender available, he'll then set his sights on HW and conquer that division too.
Also your pop at Vitor Belfort was unnecessary really. A failed 185'er, who happened to also be a former 205lb champion.
You think JDS would land one big uppercut, that's fine. If we're still here if that fight ever gets booked in the future, we can make a fun bet.

Now you're in no position to call out any one on making bold claims are you Mr "let's support fighters pre-fight for months on end and ram it down every other members throats about how they're guaranteed to win, and then when they lose, instantly stop supporting said fighter(s) and pretend I didn't say any thing".
So please, pipe down sport. I'll deal with you nearer the Cain/JDS fight and give you a signature you'll never be able to erase.

Basically Comfortable (OOTD)
When it comes to my personal style, I never put comfort on the back burner. I just can't. No matter where I'm going, my outfit has to be comfortable. That's just how it has to be. It's something that took me a long time to learn, unfortunately. It comes with age I guess. And that's perfectly fine with me. Being comfortable equals happiness. And I love being happy with my fashion choices. Read more

If there's one thing you should know about Ty Segall, it's that he can write. Having already released two critically acclaimed LP's this year, including Hair, the psychedelic rock collaboration with White Fence, and Slaughterhouse, a garage rock record with his touring band, the ambitious Bay Area songwriter has gone for the hat trick and released Twins, his third and final studio album of the year.
With his well-documented affinity for genre mixing, it comes as no surprise that Ty Segall still enjoys playing audio scientist. Blurring the lines between punk and garage rock with psychedelic rock and pop, Twins is no exception to this obsession. On this album Segall has fallen even more in love with distortion and reverb, if that's even possible for him. Segall adds extra helpings of these auditory textures, cranking the distortion up to "11″ during the solo of opener "Thank God For Sinners," and giving tracks like "Ghost" enough reverb to fill your ears with pure music.
Unlike his previous album, Slaughterhouse, which had an Iggy and the Stooges speed-demon feel to it, the rapid fire tempos are practically non-existent on Twins, aside from "You're The Doctor." Instead Segall has focused more towards experimenting with the melodies and toying with strumming guitars and basslines, similar to his direction on Hair. Displaying a seemingly endless array of riffs, Segall pieces the harshly distorted rhythm guitar chops together with hair-raising solos and vocal styles that range from his typical whine-yells to some more romantic crooning, like on the track "Would You Be My Love." He even makes room for the rich-sounding, full-bodied voice of Brigid Dawson (of Thee Oh Sees) on the record's blistering single "The Hill."
Ty Segall – "The Hill" by Drag City
Near the end of the album, Ty Segall throws the listener a curveball. Instead of continuing with melodic noise rock through the end, he pauses with the psychedelic folk track "Gold On The Shore." With a moderate tempo alongside Segall's crooning, lo-fi vocals, the song slows down the distortion-driven, chaotic adrenaline rush of the album's previous tracks. Wrapping yourself in Segall's warm voice while the song's colorful, naturalistic imagery flows through your head, it's an easy track to get lost in. "Sweet summer breeze is out there/these are the showers that wash on the door," he sings, forming scenes of Segall's hometown of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. It's an appropriate palette-cleanser before closing with the droning vocals of "There Is No Tomorrow."
Twins shows off both sides of Ty Segall's musical identity. "They Told Me Too" serves as the ideal track for fans craving his rawer, more chaotic persona, while "Would You Be My Love" provides a shelter for those looking for something more melody-driven. The album, however, cannot shake off the feeling that it's a melting pot of Segall's previous albums from this year. With Slaughterhouse's thrashing, feral powers intermeshing with Hair's warmer, psychedelic tones, Twins is a sign for Segall that something new is necessary. Until then, there's a catalogue of his albums and collaborations to keep his audience entertained.

Economic concerns led this week's news agenda, initially with chancellor George Osbourne downgrading the UK's growth prospects for 2012 to 0.7 per cent in his autumn budget statement as well as admitting the deficit will take longer to eradicate. In addition to these concerns, Wednesday played host to the largest public sector strikes for over 35 years as staff walked out over a dispute relating to pension reforms.
A fascinating side-effect of the strikes was a media storm relating to comments made by the controversial broadcaster Jeremy Clarkson who asserted that the individuals involved should be "lined up and shot". In a completely unrelated story, sales of this year's Top Gear book and Mr Clarkson's own DVD have skyrocked.
Despite these widely covered topics, the most frequent articles of the week were tributes of the former professional footballer and Wales manager Gary Speed, who tragically took his own life on Sunday.
For the week ending Sunday 4th December, the following number of articles were written in mainstream media according to Journalisted.com
Now we take a step back to look at the more quirky stories that have overshadowed more "serious" ones.
Finally, we look at that politician that has been turning the most heads. In a week that contained an autumn budget statement and the largest public sector strikes for a generation, chancellor George Osbourne takes top spot featuring in a gargantuan 815 articles, a 139 per cent increase on last week.

Participants learned about the foundations of nonviolence and how to structure and organize a nonviolent campaign or demonstration.
"How the information was shared in a fun, powerful way."
"Their enthusiasm and passion."
"Inspiring and hopeful."
"The interaction, discussion, and different activities."
"Their personal stories were powerful."
