Read an Excerpt
Chapter 1: Broadband Access Network EvolutionToday, we live in a content-driven society. Newsprint, television, and electronic media are engaged daily in what Andy Grove of Intel Corporation once described as the "war for the eyeballs." Not only are we bombarded every day with a combination of voice, text, and video content, we are also expected to react to it. Faxes, pagers, cellular phones, and e-mails have become necessities. Further, this constant interaction with dynamically changing content has an impact on much more than our work. We are also looking to be entertained and educated in new ways and for ways to stay connected no matter where we are physically located. This, then, is the age of networked multimedia-rich, dynamic content that is available to everyone, everytime, everywhere.
From the present, let us take a trip on an imaginary time machine and travel a few years into the future. Picture this scenario: You've just driven home from work. As you enter your home and walk through the living room, you have the following conversation with your home computer, also known as your personal "electronic assistant":
"Do I have any messages?"
Electronic assistant: "Yes, you have three new video messages. Do you want to play them?"
"Yes, I want them on my bedroom screen."
Your electronic assistant displays the video messages on an enormous flat screen on the bedroom wall. After dinner, you would like to help your teenage child with homework on ancient cultures. The assignment is a paper on the Mughal Emperors of India. Although you don't have a clue about the topic, you don't worry. First, you ask your electronic assistant to gather enoughinformation to complete the paper. The electronic assistant searches all available libraries and video images to compile the data. In a few minutes the electronic assistant asks, "Are you ready to view what I found on Mughal Emperors?" Once you are ready, the electronic assistant displays the information on the screen in your child's bedroom.
Now that your child is busy writing the report, you decide to relax and watch a movie. You ask the electronic assistant for a list of the latest hits. It brings up a list of choices, you select one, and ask the electronic assistant to play it. The electronic assistant extracts the movie from the database at a video store nearby and plays it as if it were being played from your home VCR-the only difference being that the VCR is at a remote location.
Suddenly, the electronic assistant interrupts your viewing the movie to announce that a video call is coming in. You ask the electronic assistant to put the movie on pause and answer the video call. When you complete the call, the electronic assistant automatically switches the movie from pause to play so that you can continue to view it from the point at which you stopped before the video call.
This scenario is not several years away. Most of the technological building blocks that can deliver these services are in place today. just as television is delivered to your home via a video network (in the form of cable, satellite, or over-the-air broadcasts), broadband networks will soon be able to deliver a plethora of integrated voice, data, and video services. Technological innovations and competitive factors will make it possible for consumers to enjoy these services at affordable prices.
Rapid technological innovations are occurring from the "last mile" to your home down to the "last inch" in your home. Consider, for example, the Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HomePNA). The objective of this association of technology companies is to work together to ensure the adoption of a single networking standard that does not require any rewiring in your home. It uses the existing phone wires installed in your residence to deliver a variety of integrated high-speed services, as shown in Figure 1. 1. Other alliances such as HomeRF2 and Bluetooth3 are investigating ways to dispense with wires entirely.
(Figure 1. 1 Vision for the networked home Source: Home Phoneline Networking Alliance)
How is this possible? What are the factors that can enable the vision of "affordable, ubiquitous, high-speed" access to consumers all the way to their homes? To answer these questions, we need to get back in our imaginary time machine, and return to the past. An examination of the history of our communication networks can help us to better understand how we got to where we are today-and where we can go tomorrow.
What Is a Communications Network?
A communications network is a common resource shared by many customers who need to communicate with users at other locations. Not everyone uses the network all the time, so it is logical-often economical-to share this important resource. A communication network consists of the following elements (shown in Figure 1.2):
(Figure 1.2 Elements of Communications network)
Station equipment or customer premises equipment (CPE) sends and receives user information and exchanges control information to gain access to the network and to place calls. Since station or customer premises equipment either begins or terminates the flow of information, i.e., it acts as either information sources or inforination sinks, it is often referred to an endpoint. Information flow within the network is commonly referred to as traffic.
Transmission facilities provide the paths to carry the traffic and establish connectivity between endpoints. In general, transmission facilities consist of a medium such as air, copper wires, coaxial cables, or fiber optic cables. Therefore, transmission facilities are often referred to as links. Physical links are often shared among multiple simultaneous connections between information sources and information sinks. The portion of a physical link dedicated to a single connection is often referred to as a channel. A channel either can be full duplex or half duplex. A full-duplex channel allows an endpoint to transmit and receive simultaneously; by contrast, in a half-duplex channel the endpoint can either be transmitting or receiving, but not both simultaneously.
Switching components interconnect transmission facilities at various locations and route traffic through the network. Skitching makes it possible to share transmission facilities among economically multiple users. Switching components are often referred to as network nodes. The network node into which the source endpoint connects is called an ingress node. The network node from which the sink endpoint is connected is called an egress node.
Architecture of Communication Networks
There are several ways to categorize communication networks: by topology, traffic transport mechanism, functional area, or dominant application. In this section, we briefly discuss categories such as meshed, star, and bus topologies, switching and multiplexing mechanisms, and premises, access, backbone, and service domains. The reader who has knowledge of these topics may skip ahead to later sections in this chapter that discuss the history and architectures of voice, data, and video networks.
Categorization of Communication Networks Based on Topology
There are three basic types of topologies-mesh, star, and bus. In a mesh network, all endpoints are interconnected to each other. In a star network, the endpoints are not directly connected to each other; rather, they are connected directly to a network node. Endpoints can therefore only communicate to each other via the intermediate network node. Finally, in a bus network, all endpoints are connected to each other over a common bus; therefore, any endpoint may communicate to another over the bus....

Audio Technologies (ATI) recently unveiled a new product line of CAT5/6 twisted pair transmitters and receivers for composite or S-video and stereo audio (balanced or unbalanced). The AV8 series will be the first products to be delivered in ATI's new, compact XFORM size – a 1/8-rack width (with 1RU and 0.5RU high variations) package.
The AV8 modules are products for transmitting and receiving composite video or S-video and audio signals up to 1,000 feet over economical twisted pair UTP cable such as CAT 5/5e/6. The modules are designed for applications that often require long distance cable runs of audio and video signals.
ATI's AV8 transceivers are designed for easy integration into new and existing AV environments, and can fit just about anywhere: in racks (up to eight in a single 1U rack), under tables and desktops, or next to a projector. The products can provide active balanced transmissions for both video and audio signals. The sharpness and gain control features enable restoration of video level and sharpness for optimal picture performance.
AV8 modules are available now.

amazing set lunch from mon to sat with so much choices. Spent $49 per person after tax for a set of start, main course, dessert and gourmet coffee/tea.
The mezza9 wagyu burger is a must try!
Thursday night dinner with wife. 3 course set meal. Nothing worth mentioning. Seafood wasn't fresh. Crabcakes had strong fishy smell. Overly sweet desserts.... not sure what the other reviewers have been eating...but definitely not recommended. You're better off spending 200 dollars at Meltz or Cafe2000 for example...
Service was wonderful though.
Food was very average quality, and certainly not worth the cost. Very little made to order food, meat was tough, seafood was bland, specials were uninteresting. Disappointing experience overall and I would not recommend.

Vettel 'encouraged' by Aussie pace
Although Red Bull eventually left Australia without a single World Championship point, Sebastian Vettel was buoyed by the RB10's much-improved pace. After a trying pre-season in which Red Bull struggled to string together more than 20 laps, the team headed to Australia not expecting much. As in testing, Vettel suffered the bulk of Red Bull's Renault woes while his team-mate Daniel Ricciardo showed some promising pace. The Aussie qualified second behind Lewis Hamilton and finished second to Nico Rosberg only to later be disqualified when his car was found to have exceeded the fuel flow rate during the grand prix. But despite the disappointing end to the weekend, Vettel says it was an...

Written on: 02/11/2009
After reading reviews on The Breville Hot Cup I had a few doubts as to it's suitability.
I love it!!!
Unlike the Tefal version, it heats the water to boiling point, a bit noisy but so fast that it isn't a problem.
The fact that the water tanks holds more than 1 mug is useful.
With the correct size of mug there is no problem with leaking water.
I have now ordrered another for my Father from Sainsburys who have it on special offer.
It will be my Christmas present of choice for several people

Nowhere to sit in the room except the bed, one hard dining style chair, and an office desk chair. Extended stay hotel should at least have a comfortable sitting (living room style) chair or recliner. Had to sit on the bed to watch TV. NO TV SLEEP TIMER!

Livecds against D.T.C.R.F.C.
In the past we could divide Linux distributions in two main categories, the livecds and the installable ones, nowadays we have a third category, the D.T.C.R.F.C. or 'Distributions That Can Run From Cds'.
The main characteristic of the livecds is the possibility to run your system without install it. In fact, all DTCRFCs are able to run without previous installation and it confuses users around the world, even the most experienced. For those I would like to input the second main characteristic of the livecds: the power of costumization.
The livecds not only must run from any external devices, but also have to let the user rebuild them without lose precious time, need useless efforts or start bark at the moon, and the DTCRFCs do not provide the second characteristic because they are installable system built to act like a livecd.
The DTCRFCs I tested run incredible slowly, spend almost five minutes to boot, do not have a single application to rebuild the ISO on the fly, start useless services and love when we install them to the harddisk. They do not share the spirit of the livecd family members.
There are some livecds, important ones, without the power of costumization necessary to become user friendly, but at least they are livecds, they are distant cousins of the really good livecds, allthough some of them are becoming DTCRFCs.
In my personal opinion a livecd most provide a Modular System. Slax and Morphix provide different flavors of modular system that can be used to build a livecd. A single file with more than 650 MB including everything of the livecd does not help anyone. A livecd ISO must be easily edited.
If you intend to test and install a distribution, you can use DTCRFCs, if you intend to have a livecd, do not download some of these famous DTCRFCs around the world, get a REAL livecd, run it, rebuild it, remove and add modules, save settings, play around, make your own personal livecd, own modules and study the power of costumization.

On WWE.com, there's a new promotion for 10% off plus a free pack of WWE trading cards for all orders over $65 at the Shopzone website. In a banner advertisement for the promotion, an image of the trading card of the recently released Ashley Massaro is featured.
Monday's edition of Raw drew a 3.1 rating, a 10 percent drop from the 3.43 figure scored last week. The first hour rating was quite lackluster as the show drew less than a 3.0 rating -- a 2.98. However, the second hour drew a 3.18 rating to bring the overall rating up. The show was watched by 300,000 less viewers than last week. There was also no over-run this week which likely hurt the rating as well.

Jennifer Aniston Not Dating Justin Theroux, Rep Insists
There's no romance brewing between Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux. X17Online recently reported that the "Wanderlust" co-stars have enjoyed a romantic dinner together on Wednesday night, May 18, at West Hollywood's Sunset Towers Tower Bar, but a representative for Jennifer was quick to pour cold water to the story.
To People Magazine, Jennifer's rep clarified, "It was a group dinner with six people. It was not a romantic dinner." A source also insisted that Jennifer and Justin "are great friends". Of the Wednesday outing, the source said, "Jen was in a great mood and seemed happy to take Justin to her favorite restaurant. They seemed happy and were flirty, but didn't act like a couple."
While slamming the romantic dinner claim, the source didn't deny that Jennifer and Justin have spent a lot of time together lately. "When Justin is in L.A. from New York, he and Jen have spent a lot of time together lately," said the source who also noted that although the 42-year-old actress and the 39-year-old actor arrived separately at the restaurant, they came from and returned to her house.
Earlier, X17Online reported that the Wednesday dinner date wasn't the first for Jennifer and Justin. "Jen and Justin have recently started dating," the gossip site cited a source as reporting. "They've known each other for a while, but they're more than friends now. They're cautious - they're both taking it slowly."

The Dude Abides … but in What Genre?
By Steven Pressfield
Published: June 29, 2016
[Reminder: only two more days to order your free e-version of my new book on writing, Nobody Wants To Read Your Sh*t. Offer expires at midnight, June 30. Click here to download. Totally free. No opt-in required. Takes 38 seconds or less.]
I was talking three weeks ago about the preparatory files I use before plunging in on a first draft. The first file is one I call Foolscap. Here's the first question I ask myself in that file:
"What's the genre?"
I'm asking, "What kind of book am I writing? Is it a Western? A Love Story? What exactly is the genre of this idea I'm working on?"
I ask this first because it's the most critical question a writer can ask. And because, once I answer it, I'm halfway home.
At this stage (before the first word of a first draft) I may have only the vaguest notion of what my story is. Maybe I've got one character, a few scenes, maybe less than that. I'm groping. I'm like the blind man trying to figure out if he's working with an elephant.
So I ask first, "What's the genre?"
Why do I ask this? Because genres have conventions. As soon as I identify the kind of story I'm telling, I automatically have a road map, a blueprint for its shape, its trajectory, and its content.
Consider The Big Lebowski by Joel and Ethan Coen.
I have no idea how the brothers evolved their story but I'll bet anything they started with "the Dude." They probably even had Jeff Bridges in mind. My guess is they knew the tone of the movie; they knew it would be zany, wry, deadpan. And they knew the feeling of the scenes they wanted. But I'll bet that, at first, they weren't sure exactly what genre, what kind of movie it was. Then …
"OMG, it's a Private Eye Story! It's a Detective Movie but instead of a having a hard-bitten Sam Spade/Philip Marlowe type as our hero, we'll have a lovable, slightly-dim stoner."
Identifying the genre was the stroke that split the diamond. At one blow, the Coen brothers could see the whole movie.
Why? Again, because genres have conventions. A Private Eye Story has obligatory scenes. Every movie or novel in this genre makes stops at these mandatory stations. The audience would be furious if it didn't.
Next step for the brothers? Cue up Chinatown, The Maltese Falcon, Farewell My Lovely. Watch them or read them with this thought in mind: "What can we steal? What happens to Jack Nicholson, to Bogie, to Robert Mitchum? Whatever that is, we'll make it happen to the Dude."
See what I mean about genre?
Once we know what type of story we're telling, we've got half the struggle licked.
But back to Private Eye Stories. What scenes can we count on? What scenes will be in every tale of a gumshoe-for-hire?
- He'll be approached (usually by a rich person) to take on a case.
- Halfway through the story, he'll be hired by another individual (usually intimately connected to the first rich person) to take on an additional case. Both assignments will involve "finding" somebody or some thing.
- The hero will become romantically involved with a beautiful woman, usually his client. This liaison will not go well for the hero.
- For sure, our detective will get beaten up. Usually more than once.
Moose's skillet-sized fist hit me. A pool of inky blackness
opened at my feet and I tumbled into it …
- Our hero will have a sidekick or partner, possibly a Peter Lorre-type. This cohort will inevitably get our hero into trouble.
- There will be scenes of betrayal, duplicity and mistaken identity.
- There will be red herrings and multiple plot twists.
- In the end, our hero will actually solve the crime. He and no one else. He will come out on top but, alas, without the girl (and perhaps without his fee, his business, or his sanity.)
The Coen brothers knew these conventions. They understood that these were the sinew and marrow of the Detective Story genre.
So the Dude gets hired by the Rich Guy (the actual "Big Lebowski"), then hired again by his daughter Maude, played by Julianne Moore, who indeed will seduce him for her own nefarious purposes. Beat-ups? The Dude will get pummeled by goons, attacked in his bathtub by nihilists, have his White Russian drugged by Ben Gazzara, the porn gangster. His buddy John Goodman will get him into all kinds of trouble. Together they will chase down numerous red herrings, but, in the end, it will be the Dude and only the Dude who cracks the case.
She kidnapped herself, man!
My favorite scene in The Big Lebowski is, sure enough, a genre-specific convention: the moment when the hero, in bed with the Beautiful Client, reveals his own (surprisingly profound and emphatically on-theme) backstory. Remember that moment in Chinatown? Jack Nicholson as Jake Gittes is lying back on the pillow, having just made love to Faye Dunaway as Evelyn Mulwray. She asks him how he got into the private detective racket and he tells her he used to "work for the District Attorney" (meaning he was a cop) in L.A.'s Chinatown.
You can't always tell what's going on there. I thought
I was keeping someone from being hurt and actually I
ended up making sure they were hurt.
That scene, for sure, was front-of-mind for Joel and Ethan Coen when they put Jeff Bridges in the post-coital sack with Julianne Moore.
Tell me about yourself, Jeffrey.
Not much to tell.
(tokes on a joint)
I was one of the authors of
the Port Huron Statement. The original … not the
compromised second draft. Did you hear of the Seattle Seven?
That was me … uh … Music business briefly … roadie for
Metallica. Speed of Sound tour. Bunch of assholes …
Genre conventions are not "formula." They're opportunities for tremendous creativity and fun and depth, as the Coen brothers proved in this and a bunch of other movies.
Before you write a word of your first draft, figure out what genre you're working in. Then bone up on the conventions of that genre and take it from there.

The Profession
The year is 2032. The third Iran-Iraq war is over; the 11/11 dirty-bomb attack on the port of Long Beach, California is receding into memory; Saudi Arabia has recently quelled a coup; Russians and Turks are clashing in the Caspian Basin. Everywhere military force is for hire. Oil companies, multinational corporations and banks employ powerful, cutting-edge mercenary armies to control global chaos and protect their riches.
Do The Work
Do The Work isn't so much a follow-up to The War of Art as it is an action guide that gets down and dirty in the trenches. Say you've got a book, a screenplay or a startup in your head but you're stuck or scared or just don't know how to begin, how to break through or how to finish. Do The Work takes you step-by-step from the project's inception to its ship date, hitting each predictable 'Resistance point' along the way and giving techniques and drills for overcoming each obstacle. There's even a section called 'Belly of the Beast' that goes into detail about dealing with the inevitable moment in any artistic or entrepreneurial venture when you hit the wall and just want to cry 'HELP!'
The Warrior Ethos
The Warrior Ethos was written for our men and women in uniform, but its utility, I hope, will not be limited to the sphere of literal armed conflict. We all fight wars--in our work, within our families, and abroad in the wider world. Each of us struggles every day to define and defend our sense of purpose and integrity, to justify our existence on the planet and to understand, if only within our own hearts, who we are and what we believe in.
We are all warriors. Do we fight by a code? If so, what is it? What is the Warrior Ethos? How do we (and how can we) use it and be true to it in our internal and external lives?
Killing Rommel
Autumn, 1942. Hitler's legions have swept across Europe; France has fallen; Churchill and the English are isolated on their island. In North Africa, Rommel and his Panzers have routed the British Eighth Army and stand poised to overrun Egypt, Suez, and the oilfields of the Middle East. With the outcome of the war hanging in the balance, the British hatch a desperate plan -- send a small, highly mobile, and heavily armed force behind German lines to strike the blow that will stop the Afrika Korps in its tracks.
The Afghan Campaign
A riveting historical novel that re-creates Alexander the Great's invasion of the Afghan kingdoms in 330 B.C., a campaign that eerily foreshadows the tactics, terrors and frustrations of contemporary conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Narrated by Matthias, an infantryman in Alexander's army, The Afghan Campaign explores the challenges, both military and moral, that Alexander and his soldiers face as they embark on a new type of war and are forced to adapt to the methods of a ruthless foe that employs terror and insurgent tactics, conceals itself among the civilian populace, and recruits women and boys as combatants.
The Virtues of War
I have always been a soldier. I have no other life So begins Alexander's extraordinary confession on the eve of his greatest crisis of leadership. By turns heroic and calculating, compassionate and utterly merciless, Alexander recounts with a warrior's unflinching eye for detail the blood, the terror, and the tactics of his greatest battlefield victories. Whether surviving his father's brutal assassination, presiding over a massacre, or weeping at the death of a beloved comrade-in-arms, Alexander never denies the hard realities of the code by which he lives: the virtues of war. But as much as he was feared by his enemies, he was loved and revered by his friends, his generals, and the men who followed him into battle. Often outnumbered, never outfought, Alexander conquered every enemy the world stood against him — but the one he never saw coming....
Last of the Amazons
In the time before Homer, the legendary Theseus, King of Athens (an actual historical figure), set sail on a journey that brought him into the land of tal Kyrte, the "free people," a nation of proud female warriors whom the Greeks called "Amazons." The Amazons, bound to each other as lovers as well as fighters, distrusted the Greeks, with their boastful talk of "civilization." So when the great war queen Antiope fell in love with Theseus and fled with the Greeks, the mighty Amazon nation rose up in rage.
Tides of War
If history is the biography of extraordinary men, the life of Alcibiades (451-404 B.C.) comprises an indispensable chapter in the chronicle of the Western world. Kinsman of Pericles, protégé of Socrates, Alcibiades was acknowledged the most brilliant and charismatic personality of his day. Plutarch, Plato, and Thucydides have all immortalized him. As the pride of Achilles drove the course of the Trojan War, so Alcibiades' will and ambition set their stamp upon the Peloponnesian War--the twenty-seven-year civil conflagration between the Athenian empire and Sparta and the Peloponnesian league.
Gates of Fire
In 480 B.C., an invading Persian army, two-million strong, came to the mountain pass of Thermopylae in eastern Greece. Led by King Xerxes, they were met by the finest three hundred Spartan warriors where the rocky confines were so narrow that the Persian multitudes and their cavalry would be at least partially neutralized. Here, the Greek loyalists hoped, the elite force could hold off, at least for a short while, the invading millions.
The War of Art
What keeps so many of us from doing what we long to do? Why is there a naysayer within? How can we avoid the roadblocks of any creative endeavor—be it starting up a dream business venture, writing a novel, or painting a masterpiece? The War of Art identifies the enemy that every one of us must face, outlines a battle plan to conquer this internal foe, then pinpoints just how to achieve the greatest success.
The Legend of Bagger Vance
In the Depression year of 1931, on the golf links at Krewe Island off Savannah's windswept shore, two legends of the game, Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen, meet for a mesmerizing thirty-six-hole showdown. Another golfer will also compete--a troubled local war hero, once a champion, who comes with his mentor and caddie, the mysterious Bagger Vance. Sage and charismatic, it is Vance who will ultimately guide the match, for he holds the secret of the Authentic Swing. And he alone can show his protégé the way back to glory.

vodafone is a uk multinational...eu is going to want taxes from it's european work...voda could sell it's infrastructure to a ericcson and lease it from them...like sprint does....then use an over the top structure for services, which is where the money is anyway....lol. wags. over the toop and horizon view.
as canada? london can still be a financial hub for a new world of trade and investments... cloud means not on premise, but doesn't mean everything has to be spread to the 4 corners of the world. bloomberg likely reviewed it's strategy before building their new headquarters in london...... but with new vertices in business process management, the headquarters can be anywhere. the beauty of 8x8 network. a zerigo for romania doesn't have to be in romania. a distributed data center architecture is more secure in an unsafe world.
dell is then vce with csco/intel; horizon view request by google from vmware...big predix(ge) user/buyer is softbank. softbank is 8x8 partner. softbank into robotics, owns big chunk of alibaba, which has alipay going into block chain.......clients produce/use data...data goes to be processed? by an ibm........goes to watson/predix...two way comms allow instructions for ibm tivoli workload scheduler.........http/https......software defined networking.......overcoming the router switch in/out log jam.........
big data......vmware/emc in pivotal for big data...ge joined pivotal...ge has predix...google with dell/ dell then in pivotal with ge...........ge and dell are partners...........dell and emc and ge going to live in Boston...ibm watson also has home in Boston. ge and european power...eu.........a lot of enterprise communications.........eh?
like convolutional network....data aggregated processed for local and next level...
time to capitalize the whole enchilada?
maybe they're ready?
eu will likely need to have the capability in place to properly place /locate/attribute citizens/guests/.....sat comms cover even more area.....geostationary comms.....cfo of 8x8/ new tech guy and head tracking/history of lmt and rfid all coming into play.........wags........thanks , bryan, et al for positioning 8x8 in a pivotal IT role imno......goood luck.
old thin client...now the devious hp has the compaq/dec/neoware/and eds which were used by american and eu businesses. think they've been sitting on their hands? lol. but neoware didn't get the patent/s......wyse which dell bought only does a few clients at a time....what do they do for the scale needed? wags...duh.
take the old eds legacy apps and mobilize them.......hp knows the code and can help ? with jv's to get it done.
see ads about the brexit and see images of the router/switches with the too full i/o areas....a confusion of cables...replace with software defined networking....faster i/o.....virtualized..........move to hosted government data centers....use mobile and video conferencing....be nibble/multitenant/less bureaucratic / unified communications to reflect the modern world.
population like one anyway.......sat comms like sky need some zerigo...ads/government info/soccer teams/language/etc. money/investments/privacy laws/ personalized visual information architecture///////////
brexit still requirsparliament, scotland and n ireland approval....revote...............
more into toronto? still a french thing in quebec.
not the non citizens, who are guests of those countries..and those guests should have to check in with their hosts to ensure they don't bolt...because of the brexit vote, they should likely have a hold on their migration anyway.....an influx of people who are undocumented by any legitimate country /authority should not be allowed. these are dangerous times. anyway a treaty update shouldn't punish leaving....the eu should be something countries aspire to join..besides the soviet union still has nato against it. the eu was supposed to be economic..........it's time to tell merkel not to fall for the #$%$ card.
usa with eu and asian trade treaties would likely not allow preferential treatment or punishment of any one country.
they hopefully all have potential rollback options in case parties decide to quit.......so, this is a potential boon to everyone. x the shorters like soros.

|Dobson Ranch Golf Course -- Great Experience
|Review by: Pat Reid
|We played Dobson Ranch and found the course to be player friendly but still had challenging greens. The overall condition of the course was great with the exception of the sand traps which could be better. The friendly staff in the Pro Shop made for a great experience.

Hopefully this will be a nice repository to find links to well researched studies, although at first glance it isn't impressive, way to artsy design of a website to be practical or a destination site(imho).2. Never Give an Inge (Dave) Posted: April 28, 2014 at 07:15 PM (#4696169)
CFB, did you follow the link to the actual site? The design is pretty clean, not too artsy for me, although maybe it's just that the artsy stuff isn't showing up on my old browser. Anyway, at first glance this is a great idea. My only suggestion would be for a good explanation of how the site is going to function -- i.e. who can submit articles, is there any sort of review before they go up, any sort of moderator, etc.
Never is right. This sounds like a VERY good idea; I've run across similar concepts in academia, and they do shorten the search process quite a bit. But, as opposed to academic journals, the process may suffer from what the early Wikipedia did - amateurs, often with axes to grind, submitting or editing entries until they were, well, less than accurate. Wikipedia eventually set up a collection of editors to deal with this. If this baseball site can find the editors, it will be quite a help. If not, it's going to end up being an unreliable repository of serious articles and urban legends. - Brock Hanke4. Scott Lange Posted: April 29, 2014 at 07:57 AM (#4696410)
CFB, I think you were looking at the article describing the site, not the Saber Archive site itself.
I think it would be great if the site catches on.

DisplayLink USB Graphics tech in Samsung 22" LCD
PALO ALTO, Calif., January 6, 2008 - Extending a successful two-year relationship, DisplayLink today announced its award-winning USB graphics technology is featured, for the third time, in a new high-performance USB connected Samsung monitor. Now shipping in Europe and the United States, the new 22-inch Samsung SyncMaster 2243QW monitor is part of the Samsung UbiSync line of displays.
The new monitors make it possible for busy office workers and business professionals to use a simple USB cable to extend their desktop and visual workspace, boosting usability and flexibility. Up to six displays can be easily connected and powered off of one PC. There's no need for additional graphics cards or complex software installation - benefits especially valuable for laptop users who want to combine portability with the practicality of a larger, richer screen surface.
"No other PC accessory brings people as much productivity and power as an additional display, so why make it complicated to connect one?" said Dennis Crespo, executive vice president of marketing and business development for DisplayLink. "Samsung's ongoing innovation continues to deliver outstanding multi-monitor computing experiences to users worldwide. It's particularly gratifying that Samsung once again chose DisplayLink USB graphics technology for its newest USB monitor."
The Samsung 2243QW has a 1680 x 1050 resolution, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, and 5-millisecond response time to ensure smooth video performance on all of the networked displays. In addition to a built-in USB hub, it features the traditional VGA (15-pin D-sub) and DVI-D connections. The monitor is compatible with both Mac and Windows systems, and it comes with a pivot function that allows it to operate in either portrait or landscape mode.
"Whether you use the extra display to extend your laptop or netbook screen or to add visual workspace to your existing desktop, the Samsung 2243QW is a smart choice," said R.A. Atanus, VP of Product Marketing for Samsung Electronics America. "With UbiSynch technology we aim to provide displays that can be used in a variety of ways and DisplayLink USB graphics brings our products the ultimate in versatility."
The Samsung SyncMaster 2243QW is priced at $399.99 USD. The monitor is available through Samsung resellers and distribution channels, which can be located by calling 1-800-SAMSUNG or at http://www.samsung.com.
To see this and other display innovations, visit DisplayLink in the USB TechZone at the CES tradeshow in Booth 30368 - South Hall 3, January 8 - 11, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Vidiots recently added a new Digidesign Pro Tools HD suite,
where mixer Brian McGee works on the show. McGee's first episode was the
series' 100th. The program is edited on Avid Media Composer
Adrenaline HD systems at Vidiots and then McGee imports the Avid OMF files into
the Pro Tools|HD 3 system along with all the audio tracks. He separates the
music, dialogue and sound effects tracks, cleans up the dialogue, rides the
music to picture, and adds sound effects as needed from Vidiots' extensive
stock library.
McGee's room is 5.1 capable and features a 45-inch Sharp LCD flatscreen HD
monitor, a Digidesign Control 24 mixing surface, Genelec 5.1 monitoring and
Yamaha NS10 speakers. Also on hand are a Tubetech tube compressor, Marshall
JMP1 guitar pre amp, a portable Roland JV2080 keyboard module and Waves

According to a July 19 report from the Houston Chronicle, despite a severe pullback in drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, Halliburton reported an 83% jump in profit and said it added 1,700 jobs in the second quarter, thanks to an increase in land-based drilling activity in North America and improved business abroad. But the company, with dual headquarters in Houston and Dubai, said it expects to feel the financial pinch of the government's six-month deep-water drilling moratorium and a slowdown of shallow-water drilling as soon as this quarter.
