BEFORE THE 76ers took the floor against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday, forward Arnett Moultrie sat slumped in front of his locker, looking very much like a teenager who had just had his cell phone taken away. When prodded, Moultrie proclaimed his disappointment at not being in uniform yet this season, despite the fact that he has been practicing with the team for a couple of weeks as he tries to return from preseason ankle surgery.
He said conditioning was not a factor, but added that he didn't want to talk about it.
Read into it what you will, but Moultrie was playing the next night - for the Delaware 87ers, the Sixers affiliate in the NBA Development League. While it could have been a direct result of his words on Monday, coach Brett Brown attempted to downplay that before last night's 114-108 loss to the visiting Boston Celtics.

The present invention relates to electronic security systems and particularly to security systems that use electronic locks and other security devices to secure a building.
Conventional electronic security systems utilize electronic door locks, alarm horns, access control readers, sensing devices, etc., to secure a building. Typical electronic security systems combine one or more of these security devices at various doorways throughout a building. In conventional systems, these security products are wired in a unique way to achieve the particular security and safety solution desired. Because conventional systems must be wired according to the particular functionality desired, a significant amount of experience in configuring such systems is needed. After the hardware for performing the desired functionality has been selected, an electrical expert must design the circuit required to ensure the system functions properly. Such circuits often generate complex wiring diagrams and riser diagrams. Therefore, not only is the initial setup of the system complex, but also if the system is changed, the circuitry must be understood and reworked by another electrical expert. The hardware components that operate in such systems are often complex and require a hardware expert to determine the particular products that meet the desired functionality.
Common functions of typical electronic security systems include sounding alarms on forced entry, limiting access to those who possess the appropriate credentials, and sounding alarms if doors are held open too long or do not close properly. Other common electronic security system functions include limiting the number of doors that can be opened at a given time (interlocks), and applying timing values to particular operations to hold occupants in a building for a selected time or lock or unlock doors from a remote location. The conventional electronic architectural products that perform these functions can have many wires or connection points. Understanding these components and how they are to be wired to perform the desired functionality adds to the complexity of conventional systems. As mentioned, complex issues arise again if it is ever desired to reconfigure the system.
Lastly, even with the electrical expertise required to understand such conventional systems, there is no single particular solution for wiring the security system to meet a particular need. Therefore, an expert who is to service an existing electronic security system, which he or she did not set up, must first expend a significant amount of time and energy understanding the system.
Electronic security systems are becoming more and more prevalent on buildings. It can be time consuming and expensive to retain experts able to design and install conventional electronic security systems. An electronic security system that is easily installable and configurable without requiring electronic expertise would be welcomed by users of such security systems.
According to the present invention, an electronic security system includes a plurality of security devices electrically linked to a power supply over a series of power lines. Each device is coupled to the power lines with two wires. The devices and power supply also utilize the power lines to send and receive communication signals.
In preferred embodiments, each security device includes an input/output module ("I/O module"), which controls the device. The power supply includes a power supply module ("PSM") which receives the master functionality program for the system. Once the PSM is programmed with the desired functionality for the system, it sends signals over the power lines to the I/O modules of the various security devices, programming them according to the desired functionality. A bus, through which the power lines to each device run, controls the communication signals between the devices. The devices of the electronic security system can be configured in a star pattern, wherein each device is tied into a central connection point, in a daisy chain arrangement, wherein the devices are strung together, or a combination of both arrangements.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following detailed description of preferred embodiments and exemplifying the best mode of carrying out the invention as presently perceived.
The detailed description particularly refers to the accompanying figures in which:
Before any embodiments of the invention are explained in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the following drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. The use of "including," "comprising," or "having" and variations thereof herein is meant to encompass the items listed thereafter and equivalents thereof as well as additional items. Unless limited otherwise, the terms "connected," "coupled," and "mounted" and variations thereof herein are used broadly and encompass direct and indirect connections, couplings, and mountings. In addition, the terms "connected" and "coupled" and variations thereof are not restricted to physical or mechanical connections or couplings.
In the embodiment shown, devices 108 are existing non-2-wire devices. As a result, external IOMs 120 provide linkages between the devices 108 and the bus 116, thus allowing exchange of data between the PS 104 and the devices 108.
Devices 110 are shown as 2-wire devices that are couplable to the bus 116 directly. That is, devices 110 are generally manufactured specifically for use in a 2-wire system such as system 100. These devices 110 generally have an internal IOM 120 such as shown in
As shown in
The PSM 112 is also equipped with a timing circuit that can be used as a time reference by the rest of the system 100, and an application-specific integrated circuit ("ASIC") 260 that includes a power failure detection circuit 264. Specifically, the power failure detection circuit 264 senses or monitors an incoming supply voltage level. If the incoming supply voltage level falls below a predetermined value, the ASIC 260 will generate a warning signal indicating an impending power failure.
Furthermore, the ASIC 260 also accesses an internal memory 252 or an external memory 262 for a configuration that governs the system 100. The ASIC 260 first decodes the configuration from the memory 252 or 262, processes and modulates the power with the configuration using schemes such as frequency shift keying modulation. The ASIC 260 then amplifies and buffers the configuration modulated signal to prepare for outputting to the 2-wire bus 116. The ASIC 260 then transmits the signal to the IOMs 120 via the 2-wire bus 116. However, other sequences of transmission are also possible.
The PSM 112 also includes a 2-wire bus switching circuit 263 that is controlled by the ASIC 260. Specifically, the ASIC 260 controls the power present on the bus 116 via the 2-wire bus switching circuit 263. For example, on power-up or when the ASIC 260 is reset, the 2-wire bus switching circuit 263 is turned off by the ASIC 260, such that the relay is open. As a result, there is no power provided to the 2-wire bus 116 by the PS 104. The 2-wire bus switching circuit 263 will be turned on when the ASIC 260 outputs the power in conjunction with the signal.
Referring back to
One of the SPI ports 124 includes a PSM-to-PSM communication interface port 232 that is configured to allow communications between a plurality of PSMs 104, or PSM-to-PSM communications via a twisted pair wiring network. For instance, the ASIC 260 of one system can be coupled to the ASIC 260 of another system via the PSM-to-PSM communication port 232 of the SPI ports 124 to allow relatively fast transfer of information between the PSMs 112. The PSM-to-PSM communication interface port 232 also provides the necessary power amplification to drive any low-impedance load that can appear on the PSM-to-PSM communication interface port bus.
The ASIC 260 can be programmed either via a serial TTL RS-232 port 130 of the PS 104, or can be programmed in the manufacturing process. Once a program has been programmed in the ASIC 260, it may be upgraded via the 2-wire bus 116 or the serial port 130. The programming of the PSM 112, and in particular, the ASIC 260 is detailed hereinafter.
A plurality of input filters 266 are coupled to the ASIC 260 and the SPI interface ports 124 including the PSM-to-PSM communication interface port 236. The input filters 266 increase a signal-to-noise ratio at the inputs of the ASIC 260 by filtering out anything outside a predetermined frequency range, for example, between 110 kHz to 130 kHz. The input filters 266 are generally Chebyshev type passive filters of the 4th order, with less than 1 dB ripple at its output and about 6 dB attenuation. However, filters such as the Butterworth filters that satisfy the filtering characteristics can also be used. Furthermore, a coupling circuit 268 bridges between the interface ports 124, 232 and the ASIC 260 to allow non-polarization of the SPI interface ports 124.
Furthermore, devices 108, 110 are generally configured by the PSM 112 (detailed hereinafter), or by the programming tool 132. For example, other PSMs, or programming tools can access the PSM 112 via the SPIs 124. Once access is permitted, system configuration stored in the PSM 112 and other system diagnostic operations can be updated and performed.
Referring to
The PS 104, as shown in
Once the PS 104 is powered through the AC input port 204, an AC input LED 220 is lit indicating the PS 104 is powered. A transformer 224 is coupled to the AC input port 204, and provides multiple outputs. Each of the transformer outputs provides a particular AC voltage. The AC voltages are thereafter further rectified to obtain a plurality of direct current ("DC") voltages, which are supplied to the rest of the power supply 104. A battery board 228 continuously monitors the AC power input while a chargeable battery thereon is being charged. The battery board 228 via the chargeable battery supplies power to the PSM 112 in the event the AC power input is interrupted.
The PSM 112 is also capable of data logging. Each PSM 112 has a segment of the memory 252 or 262 reserved for timed logging system data. Types of data to be logged include input changes, output changes, password changes, PSM resets, failures, etc. For example, when an input value is changed on a device 108, data such as a time of the day, the corresponding year, the device serial number, and the new input value are logged in the reserved memory. If a password is changed (i.e., a password for a particular device, the overall network password, etc.), data such as the time of the day when the password is changed, the corresponding year, and the password is stored in the memory 252 or 262. If the PSM 112 has been reset, in addition to the time of the day when the PSM 112 is reset, and the corresponding year, the reserved memory also stores a cause of the PSM reset. As will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art, other data may also be logged if desired.
Several types of IOM 120 are used in the system 100, for example, a standard IOM ("SIOM") and a high current IOM ("HIOM"). A generic IOM system block diagram 300 that describes installations such as SIOM and HIOM, is shown in
Every IOM 120 in the system 100 has an internal timer. Upon powering up, each IOM 120 sends a time request command to the PSM 112. In response to the time request command, the PSM 112 sends out a time broadcast addressed to the IOM 120. In addition, the PSM 112 sends out a periodic time broadcast to all the IOMs 120 in the network to update the time being kept at the IOMs 120.
The IOM system block diagram 300 also includes a second ASIC 316 that indirectly communicates with the 2-wire bus 116 via an IOM power supply 352 and an interface 332. The interface 332 is configured to modulate the output signals of the second ASIC 316, and to receive signals and instruction from other components in the system 100. Further, the interface 332 also includes an output amplifier that provides power amplification to drive any low impedance loads that appear on the 2-wire bus 116. When it is not transmitting information, the amplifier is in low power mode. The amplifier further includes an input filter that increases the signal-to-noise ratio at the ASIC 316. The input filter filters out any signal that is outside a predefined frequency band. However, the filter does not attenuate the signal by more than a predefined amount in the desired bandwidth, and generally has a constant group delay. The amplifier also includes an output impedance control switch that isolates an output stage from the input filter when the amplifier is receiving. A bi-directional coupling circuit 344 bridges the interface 332 and the 2-wire bus 116.
The second ASIC 316 can be programmed in a variety of ways via the 2-wire bus 116 and a SPI port 232. Once the ASIC 316 recognizes that there is a programming signal, the ASIC 316 enters a programming mode, and awaits to receive data and instructions. When the programming signal is reset, the ASIC 316 terminates the data and instructions reception, and operates normally.
Referring back to
As a result, every input and output ("I/O") in the system 100 has a unique identifier that is specified by an instance or an address. When the PSM 112 assigns an address to the IOM 120, the PSM 112 also assigns a unique instance for each input 304 and output 308. The I/O instance list of the PSM 120 can be used to associate devices and instances. Specifically, there is an entry in these lists for the input and output instances. The first element of the list is instance 1 and the last entry is the maximum number of instances allowed or available. For example, if an IOM 120 with address 0xA0 has 2 inputs, instance 1 and instance 2, the first two entries on the I/O instance list will be 0xA0 and 0xA0. If an IOM 120 with instance 0xA1 is added, and if the PSM 112 assigns instances 3 and 4 to the IOM 120 with instance 0xA1, the first four entries on the I/O instance list will look be 0xA0, 0xA0, 0xA1, and 0xA1. In this way, the PSM 112 keeps in the memory 252 or 262 a list of all the inputs and outputs of the IOMs 120 of the system 100. As a result, the I/O instance list stored in the memory 252 or 262 can be used to associate devices and instances. That is, for each input or output of the system 100, there is a corresponding entry in the I/O instance list.
Referring back to
The IOM 120 communicates with the PSM 112 via a 2-wire bus communication interface 332. For example, the interface 332 provides functions including output signal amplification, output signal filtering, node input impedance control, input signal filtering. Specifically, the interface 332 is bi-directionally coupled to the ASIC 316, and a power line coupler 344. The power line coupler 344 is bi-directionally coupled to one of the 2-wire power lines 334 which is further coupled to the 2-wire bus 116. The coupler 344 demodulates or decodes the modulated signal from inputs 334, or modulates or encodes data from the interface 332 onto the power lines 334. In this way, the user just needs to couple the 2-wire power lines 334 onto the bus 116 when a new 2-wire device such as device 110 is to be added to the system 100. The PSM 112 coupled to the bus 116 will thereafter start adding it onto its instance list (details are explained hereinafter). The 2-wire power lines 334, in addition to receiving the programmable logic among other information from the PSM 112, also carry the power for operation of the IOM 120. However, the power polarity of the connected devices may be different each time the device 108 or 110 is plugged into the system 100. As a result, a power bridge rectifier 348 is configured to accommodate any polarity. The polarity-desensitized or polarity independent power from the rectifier 348 is provided to the parts of the IOM 120 including a protected output 340 and a power down detection circuit 356. The rectified power from the rectifier 348 is also regulated in a power supply regulator 352.
The IOM 120 also includes a plurality of input circuits 336. The inputs 304 are coupled to the input circuits 336, and the outputs of the input circuits 336 are fed to the I/O buffer 320 of the ASIC 316. The input circuits 336 are configured to sense the current voltage signal that is between 24 VDC and 0 VDC. While the circuit 336 provides an input voltage threshold, it also allows a maximum continuous input voltage that is higher than the input voltage threshold.
The IOM 120 further includes a plurality of protected discrete general-purpose outputs 308 protected by a protection circuit 340. The protection circuit 340 receives its input from the processor 324 via the buffer 320 of the ASIC 316, its rectified power from a rectifier 348, and outputs an operating instruction to its associated device 108 or 110 through the outputs 308. The protection circuit 340 is activated for each output at a predefined threshold. Specifically, a feedback circuit of the protection circuit 340 is configured to decrease the output current if excessive voltage or overcurrent is present at the outputs 308. The feedback circuit also sends a diagnostic signal to the ASIC 316 to signal whether any of the outputs 308 are shorted or opened. Furthermore, each output 308 is equipped with a thermal limit circuit, which senses a rise in a junction temperature associated with the overcurrent condition. If the overcurrent or short-circuit condition persists, the thermal limit circuit will turn off the corresponding faulty output 308. If a high power module is required, a high current inrush circuit 312 is added in series to the output 308 of the IOM 120.
Referring back to
If the programming tool 132 has not been pre-programmed or contains no pre-canned information, the programming tool 132 can be used to program the system 100 online. The programming tool 132 will direct a user to configure the PSM 112 and the system 100 using a user-interface wizard, which is detailed hereinafter. The configuration is thereafter transferred from the programming tool 132 to the PSM 112, and further into the IOMs 120. The system 100 is then configured.
If the PSM 112 contains some configuration data, the programming tool 132 then proceeds to determine if the data is generic by checking for specific IOM serial numbers. If the PSM 112 does not contain specific IOM serial number, the programming tool 132 checks to determine if all the IOMs are present. If there is any IOM missing, the PSM 112 will leave the existing IOMs 120 in a pre-canned pending state, and the programming tool 132, if still attached, displays devices are missing. The configuration process is reset and starts again. If all the devices are present, the programming tool 132 then checks for device duplication. If there is no device duplication, the PSM 112 transfers the configuration data to the IOMs 120, and the system 100 is configured. However, if there is device duplication, the user can resolve the duplication listed in the PSM 112 using the programming tool 132 as long as the programming tool 132 is still attached. The resolved configuration is then transferred to the IOMs 120, and the system 100 is configured.
Further, if IOM serial numbers are known, the programming tool 132 again checks for missing IOM device. If there is missing device, the power is removed from the 2-wire bus 116. On the other hand, if all the devices are present, the PSM 112 then transfers the configuration data to the IOMs, and the system 100 is configured.
If a new PSM is to replace an existing PSM 112, the present invention allows for the PSM replacement without having to reprogram the system 100. First, if there is no pre-canned configuration set into the new PSM before its installation, the new PSM will check whether already-configured devices are found on the system 100. If configured devices are found on the system 100, the new PSM 112 will know that it has been added to an already-configured system 100 and will start uploading the IOM configuration. This mode is used when a PSM need to be replaced by another one. In this case, there is no need to reprogram the system.
Specifically, if the new PSM 112 determines that the existing IOM 120 has configured data, the configured IOM 120 transfers an IOM list to the new PSM 112. The new PSM 112 then compares the IOM list from the configured IOM 120 with the actual IOMs 120 present in the system 100. If it is determined that there is any IOM missing, the programming tool 132, if still attached, displays devices that are missing, and the new PSM 112 is reset. The PSM replacement process restarts again. If all the devices are present, the new PSM 112 obtains the configuration data or the pre-canned data from all the existing IOMs 120, and the system 100 is once again configured.
On a configured system 100, the PSM 112 can replace a non-responding IOM 120 by another one that has a same manufacturer model number. Upon initialization, the PSM 112 verifies that all the configured IOMs 120 are present. Otherwise it will look for a replacement IOM. If there is no replacement IOM, the corresponding address in the memory 252 is set to missing, then the system 100 falls into a failure mode.
A new or unconfigured IOM periodically sends a configuration request until the PSM 112 executes the configuration for that particular IOM 120. Once the configuration process is complete, the newly configured IOM 120 will be set to an unbound state. (An unbound IOM does not execute its programmable logic and does not share its I/O states to other devices in the system 100.) To set the unbound IOM back to a configured IOM, the configuration tool 132 is used. If the configuration request received is from an IOM 120 already listed in the PSM memory 252, the settings of the IOM 120 are automatically restored.
In addition to the I/O instance list and the device list, the PSM 112 also keeps a copy of the configuration states of the IOM 120 in the memory 252. In some cases, the state stored in the memory 252 may not match the state stored in the memory 328 of the IOM 120. For example, the instance is set to free when the PSM 112 has no correspondence with an IOM 120. The instance is set to missing as described earlier when a configured device is missing. If no replacement IOM is found, the device is in a failure mode. Particularly, the PSM 112 sets the instance to missing when an IOM 120 disappears during a pre-canned configuration process or when the PSM 112 is unable to recover a configured IOM 120 on which a failure has been detected. During the pre-canned state, the configuration tool 132 sets the instance to pre-canned, and the IOM 120 remains in the pre-canned until the pre-canned configuration is executed. Further, the instance is set to broken when an IOM 120 has a hardware failure. The broken state differs from the others because it is only a mask that is applied to the value of the state prior to the failure. For example, if the state prior to failure is configured and has a value of 0x30, and the broken mask is 80h, the resulting value after the failure will be B0h. The broken mask is erased upon a PSM initialization. The broken state is set when no heartbeat is received within 6 seconds or when the communication between the IOM 120 and the PSM 112 drops.
The PSM 112 also provides a way to remove an IOM 120 from a configured system 100 without causing failures. Before removing an IOM 120, the PSM 112 determines that the I/O instances of the IOM 120 are not used in any programmable logic and that the I/O instances are not externally mapped with other IOMs in the system 100. The PSM 112 then proceeds to unconfigure the IOM 120, thereby setting all the configured IOMs 120 into an offline state. To execute their programmable logic, the IOMs 120 are set back into the configured state. The IOM removal process is complete when the removed IOM instance is reset.
The present invention also allows for a multiple PSM system. In a multiple PSM system, a plurality of PSMs can be connected together in a star pattern or in a daisy chain arrangement using the TP interface 128 (of
It would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the multiple PSM system 400 may include other input output devices coupled to the PSMs 404, 408, and 412. Specifically, the user can use the configuration tool 416 coupled to the first PSM 404 to send out a remote mapping request 500 (as shown in
In general, the inputs and outputs of the system 100 including the PSM 112, the IOM 120, and the devices 108, 110 are defined by a programmable Boolean logic. The Boolean logic can be remotely configured using the configuration tool 132. The Boolean logic includes a set of function blocks, timers and logical operators. Outputs are managed according to the programmed logic and a plurality of I/O states in the system 100. However, if additional operations are preferred, the user has the option of programming the operations into the IOM 120 via the configuration tools. Furthermore, the programmable logic is primarily output driven. Each system output has an associated programmable logic. The programmable logic represents a combination of conditions, system inputs, and some function blocks. These conditions are described using the Backus-Naur Form (BNF). However, other semantic representations such as ALPHA, block structure language, FORMAC, IITRAN, LPL and PL/1 can also be used.
Input values of the programmable Boolean logic are usually associated with hardware status, a button, or a sensor, for example. However, it is also possible to include other input values in the programmable logic such as input instances or contents of the addressing associated with the inputs. For example, input instances can be used as logic indicators. In other words, input instances can also be used as part of the determining Boolean logic parameters.
Two types of action can generally be performed on the output of each device 108, 110: "set" and "clear." Each of the two actions corresponds to some function of the device. For example, when a set action is invoked, a particular lock may be locked. As another example, a particular lock may be unlocked when a clear action invoked. These actions are normally locally executed, meaning that the targeted outputs are built in the device 108, 110. Moreover, a "set" output energizes an output while a "clear" output de-energizes an output.
The programming of the system 100 can generally be performed using a plurality of user interfaces such as a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a palmtop computer, a handheld device, a pocket computer or the like. An exemplary user interface 700 displaying a main menu 720 on the configuration tool 132 (of
After the guided process has entered a hardware setup display 744 as shown in
The main menu 720 also offers other options as described earlier. For example, the tests and troubleshooting option 728 allows the user to view and test the hardware devices associated with an opening, or to view and test the hardware devices associated with a zone or a network of devices, among other things. An exemplary display 800 of the tests and troubleshooting option 728 is shown in
The main menu 720 also includes the system task and preferences option 732 that allows the user to change a network password, to delete a device, and to upgrade the network, among other things. The zone management option 740 allows the user to add a device to a system, to create a new system, and to rename the system, for example. The user is also to program the system via the configuration tool 132 to set off an alarm, for example, using the advanced hardware setup option 736.
Other bodies, such as an option body depicting secondary options in a device, a text body where text is displayed and entered, and a time synchronization body for synchronizing the PSM time with the devices in the system 100, are also available to the user.

I'm just getting into the whole electronics engineering & I'm loving it thus far. I'm now getting into programming as well as Arduino.
YouTuber as well as entrepreneur
English, Japanese (working on)
I know that this is a total noob question but can a pi be made into a mini computer that will run nothing but a 3D printer, basically it will run the slicing software so I don't have to keep my 3D printer hooked up & I won't need to use SD cards, 'cause that's a hassle to me.
Thank you, most of the things that I'll be using it on will be well below that temp.
Does anyone think that it would be safe to use two of these as a spot welder system?
I would love to know how you did the HUD layout, I've got one in the works (have been for some time actually) & I am stuck on ideas.
Ok, so just pos on one & neg on the other, thank you!
I know that this is a total noob comment but how do you solder up one of these, do you put pos on one side & neg on the other, or what, any help would be appreciated.
Go to the product page & you'll get a good pic of it in the case.
Actually your drawing is what I was meaning, thank you very much for the help.
So you attach the main power leads to the leads on the switch & just attach the grnd wires to extra cables, is that what you are saying? 'Cause my wife needs a switch replaced on her fave lamp & this would be perfect.
Can we get a data sheet fo rthis please.

A Friday night shooting at a Colleton County auto body shop left one man dead and another seriously injured, officials said Saturday.
Several people and multiple weapons were involved, said Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Amye Stivender.
No shooting-related arrests have been made, but Edward and Jason Russell have been arrested and charged with obstructing justice in Sheriff R.A. Strickland's investigation, she said.
Sheriff's deputies responded to the scene in the 200 block of Godwin Street where they found a man already dead from his wounds, Stivender said.
Another man who was still alive had gunshot wounds to the face. He was transferred by helicopter from Colleton Regional Medical Center to the Trauma Unit of the Medical University of South Carolina, Stivender said.
Colleton County Coroner Richard Harvey identified the deceased as Daquawn Lawton, 22, of Sharon Drive. Harvey said Lawton died of multiple gunshot wounds to the upper torso. An autopsy was underway in Charleston Saturday afternoon, The Press and Standard of Walterboro reported.
The coroner's office has not yet responded to a request from The Post and Courier to confirm the identity of the deceased as reported by The Press and Standard.

Skip to comments.Mohamed Morsi approves martial law in Egypt, state media reports
Posted on 12/08/2012 11:12:13 AM PST by dynachrome
CAIRO: Struggling to subdue continuing street protests, the government of PresidentMohamed Morsi has approved legislation reimposing martial law by calling on the armed forces to keep order and authorizing soldiers to arrest civilians, Egypt's state media reported on Saturday.
Morsi has not yet issued the order, the flagship state newspaper Al Ahram reported. But even if merely a threat, the preparation of the measure suggested an escalation in the political battle between Egypt's new Islamist leaders and their secular opponents over an Islamist-backed draft constitution. The standoff has already threatened to derail the culmination of Egypt's promised transition to a constitutional democracy nearly two years after the revolt against the former leader Hosni Mubarak.
(Excerpt) Read more at timesofindia.indiatimes.com ...
Wow! Thanks!
Obama & Hillary hve given Morsi over a billion $$$ already.
When Kaddhafi gave a similar order, he got his brains blown out by Libyan patriots on an SUV hood.
With a name like Muslim Brotherhood, it's GOT to be good.
Which could result in a second civil war.
Obama would fall within a week if the feds started using armed drones against civilians.
Morsi has approved legislation reimposing martial law by calling on the armed forces to keep order and authorizing soldiers to arrest civilians, Egypt's state media reported on Saturday.Thanks dynachrome.
No, she isn't.
Is Obama related to Morsi? Just wondering....
You really, really don't get the logistics situation with the US govt vs. The People.
A few hundred drones is less than 3 per state.
You can't drive across Texas in a day.
Nope. Gooberment loses, every single time I run the numbers.
Morsi's chief enabler is Bronco Bama, high priest and king of Amerika.
0bama will do this within the next four years.
No, he won't.
O = Saladin II
$ and O wants to crush Israel
Wow! What a timely and accurate piece of prose and prophesy.
I have not been as bowled over since Howl! by Ginsberg
I'm also glad you noted Honduras to bring this full circle, worldwide
And he won't FORCE you to pay for illegal aliens' health care either.. /s
Theres too many guns in the right peoples hands in America for that to become a reality. Chill, Will.
There are a lot votes in the hands of Americans as well. Most Americans are too stupid to oppose the evil that runs things.
Arab democracy = one man, one vote, one time.
Hope the Egyptians liked their one vote for the Muslim Brotherhood, no other votes of any consequence will ever take place under the current system.

Taking the CCIE Lab in RTP
Friday, July 29, 2016 at 2:13 a.m. UTC by stretch
Cisco's campus in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, is one of only two places in the United States where candidates can complete a CCIE lab exam (the other being in San Jose, California). People fly in from all over the eastern US and beyond to spend a day taking the exam. Lots of folks who've taken the exam have written up their experiences, but I haven't seen many talk at length about their time in RTP outside of Cisco's building 3.
I've lived just a few minutes away from the testing site for the past few years, and it occurred to me recently that visitors might benefit from some local knowledge.
Getting Here
Most people fly in via Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). RDU is a medium-sized airport with two terminals. Most flights operate out of Terminal 2, except for Southwest Airlines, which is based in the newly-renovated Terminal 1.
As airports go, I'm a big fan of RDU. It's a very modern, clean, and well-organized facility. The interior of Terminal 2 is beautifully designed to resemble an early airplane wing and is flooded with natural light during the day. (It's also one of very few places where you can find a Five Guys that serves breakfast.) The TSA folks here tend to be very professional and polite. Wait times in security are rarely long. And this isn't just the biased opinion of a local: in 2014, RDU was ranked among the top ten airports in the US.
NetBox v1.1.0 Released
Thursday, July 7, 2016 at 6:45 p.m. UTC by stretch
One year ago today, I made the first commit to a repository named "netbox" hosted internally at DigitalOcean. It was the first iteration of a tiny little app I scratched together using the Django Python framework to track IP prefix utilization. A year later, NetBox has grown into an extensive tool that we use to track IPs, racks, devices, connections, circuits, and even encrypted credentials. And I'm happy to say that it's now open source!
Announcing NetBox
Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at 1:16 p.m. UTC by stretch
Update: NetBox has been released!
Several years ago, I lamented the few options available for a provider-grade IPAM solution. Specifically, I explained why building a custom application would be undesirable:
Could I create a custom IPAM solution with everything we need? Sure! The problem is that I'm a network engineer, not a programmer (a natural division of labor which, it seems, is mostly to blame for the lack of robust IPAM solutions available). Even if I had the time to undertake such a project, I have little interest in providing long-term maintenance of it.
But I suppose time makes fools of us all.
Nearly one year ago, I started developing an IPAM application as part of my day job. Leveraging my experience with the Django Python framework, I had a working proof-of-concept in just a week. Over the next several months, the project grew more mature and began to take on additional roles: data center infrastructure management, circuit tracking, and credentials storage. Today, the tool functions as our "source of truth" for many aspects of our infrastructure. We call it NetBox.
Don't be Discouraged by Plagiarists
Wednesday, March 9, 2016 at 3:28 a.m. UTC by stretch
Recently, a friend pointed out that an individual had taken one of my cheat sheets, superimposed his own logo and URL on it, and published it as his own work. This is certainly not the first time I've been plagiarized, nor will it be the last, I suspect. I called out the individual on Twitter, and I'm very gratefully for the many people who helped me compel him to remove the illegitimate content. Eventually.
I wanted to write a quick post sharing my thoughts on this incident for the benefit of everyone who has expressed interest in starting their own blog or web site. I've heard plenty of people comment over the years to the effect of, "Why bother starting a blog if someone's just going to harvest the RSS feed and re-publish it on their own site to make a few bucks?" Indeed, this has always been a concern among producers of both free and paid content.
I wish I could tell you that plagiarism isn't that big a deal, or that it won't happen to you. But the truth is plagiarism is a huge problem in our industry (and across the Internet in general), and if you produce public content you will inevitably have to deal with it.
Can You Keep a Secret? (Part 2)
Thursday, February 11, 2016 at 2:36 a.m. UTC by stretch
In part one, we saw how AES can be used to encrypt sensitive data so that it can be retrieved only by using an encryption key. The problem with this approach is that everyone who needs access to the data must have a copy of the key. If any one of these copies becomes compromised, the entire database must be re-encrypted using a new key, and the new key must be distributed securely to all parties involved. In this article, we'll see how symmetric encryption can be combined with asymmetric cryptography (namely RSA) to create a hybrid cryptosystem.
Let's begin by encrypting some data using AES as we did in part one. First we pad our plaintext's length to a multiple of 16 using null bytes, then generate a 256-bit encryption key and a 128-bit IV, and finally encrypt it with CFB-mode AES to generate a string of ciphertext.
>>> from Crypto.Cipher import AES >>> import os >>> plaintext = "Operation Neptune will launch on June 6th" >>> plaintext += (16 - len(plaintext) % 16) * chr(0) >>> encryption_key = os.urandom(32) >>> iv = os.urandom(16) >>> cipher = AES.new(encryption_key, AES.MODE_CFB, iv) >>> ciphertext = cipher.encrypt(plaintext)
Can You Keep a Secret?
Sunday, February 7, 2016 at 7:44 p.m. UTC by stretch
I've been developing an IPAM/DCIM tool for work over the past several months (more on that soon), and recently my focus has been on expanding it to store confidential data associated with network devices. Backup login credentials, TACACS+/RADIUS secrets, SNMP communities, and so on: Short strings that need to be stored securely.
Storing a password or other small piece of sensitive data is different from merely authenticating against it. Most password storage mechanisms never actually store a user's actual password, but rather an irreversible hash of it. (That is if you're doing it correctly, at least.)
For example, the Django Python framework (which powers packetlife.net) by default employs salted SHA256 hashes to authenticate user passwords. When a password is saved, a random salt is generated and concatenated with the plaintext password. (A salt is used to prevent two identical passwords from producing the same hash.) The SHA256 algorithm is then run against the whole thing to produce a fixed-length hash. Here's an example in Python using Django's built-in
make_password() function:
>>> from django.contrib.auth.hashers import make_password >>> make_password("MyP@ssw0rd!") u'pbkdf2_sha256$12000$x5E0yB2dh13m$ablUOER8qn4CxjmHZlJrUUA1Cb9MeLXvfggTnG56QpM='
Stretch's Hierarchy of Network Needs
Monday, December 14, 2015 at 3:07 a.m. UTC by stretch
Remember Maslow's hierarchy of needs from school? The theory asserts that every human shares the same set of basic physical and psychological needs in order to be happy, with more primal needs like food and shelter taking precedence over emotional needs like love and companionship.
A while back, I was pondering what would be necessary to fully automate a network, and it occurred to me that a very similar hierarchy of needs can be laid out for a computer network to achieve its optimal state.
1. A Functioning Network
At the very bottom of the hierarchy is everything a network requires to function: Routers, switches, cabling, power, and so on, just as tier one of Maslow's hierarchy encompasses everything a human needs to stay alive. At this stage, a network can function, and can even function well, but it cannot adapt or grow.
Many small businesses operate their networks at this stage for years with no major problems. After all, when left alone, computers and networks tend to just keep chugging along. And if your entire network comprises a cable modem, a switch, and a few access points, it's entirely possible that it will run for years without needing any tweaking.
Thoughts on Two Years of Working from Home
Wednesday, November 11, 2015 at 3:44 a.m. UTC by stretch
I've spent the past two years working from home as a network engineer for two different companies. At first, I wasn't sure how well the remote lifestyle would suit me, but after a short time I settled into a very comfortable routine. And to my surprise, I discovered that I was much more productive working from the serenity of my home office than I ever was in a cubicle. I'd like to share my observations with the hope of convincing others to try ditching the office as well.
Why Work Remote?
No More Commute
This is the most obvious benefit to working remote. No more sitting in rush hour traffic twice a day. Even if you take public transit and are able to play on your laptop for most of the trip, commuting is a major time sink. Most people will instantly gain back at least an hour of time by foregoing the daily drive to and from the office. What could you do with an extra hour each day?
And beyond time, there are ample corollary benefits. You (or your company) are no longer paying for as much fuel or fare. You're greatly reducing your risk of being injured in a traffic accident, simply by reducing exposure. You're reducing your carbon footprint. And you're one less car on the road or occupied seat on the train, which reduces the burden on public infrastructure that's already strained to the breaking point in many cities.
Writing a Custom IPAM Application
Monday, August 10, 2015 at 1:14 a.m. UTC by stretch
Four years ago, I lamented the lackluster selection of IPAM applications available for service providers. Unfortunately, it seems not much has changed lately. I was back to exploring IPAM offerings again recently, this time with the needs of a cloud hosting provider in mind. I demoed a few tools, but none of them seemed to fit the bill (or they did, but were laughably overpriced).
So, I decided to write my own. In my rantings a few years back, I had considered this option:
Could I create a custom IPAM solution with everything we need? Sure! The problem is that I'm a network engineer, not a programmer (a natural division of labor which, it seems, is mostly to blame for the lack of robust IPAM solutions available). Even if I had the time to undertake such a project, I have little interest in providing long-term maintenance of it.
My opinion has not changed, but I've come to realize that if I want a tool that fits my requirements, I will need to build it. And after surprisingly little time, I'm happy to report that I have now have a kick-ass IPAM tool that does exactly what I want it to.
While I can't share the code, which is owned by and purpose-built for my employer, I would like to share some tips I picked up in the process with the hope of convincing others that rolling your own tools really isn't that hard. And in many cases, it may be well worth the effort.
What the CCIE does not Prove
Friday, May 29, 2015 at 2:27 p.m. UTC by stretch
I came across an article today about a 19-year-old who earned his CCIE. It reminded me of a Reddit post from a few weeks ago. Someone asked why, when evaluating a CCIE, hiring managers still demand a number of years of practical experience in the field.
I'm in a situation where I'm a CCNP with 3 years of experience. I want to get my CCIE but I keep being told left and right I don't have enough experience and I'll never get a CCIE job without 7 years of experience. Am I supposed to just laze around and wait until I get more experience? It just doesn't make sense.
This is a fairly common misunderstanding among people new to our field, and is largely the result of vendor marketing. People want so badly to believe that a certification proves their worth as an individual, when in reality its value is much more narrowly defined.
PacketLife.net is the work of a network engineer named Jeremy Stretch. It began as a repository for Cisco certification study notes in 2008, but quickly grew into a popular community web site.
The site's goal is to offer free, quality technical education to networkers all over the world, regardless of skill level or background.

Farm and Food File: Leader-sheep 'reform' rings hollow
When Chairman Frank Lucas gaveled the full House Ag Committee to order Oct. 12, aggies who depend on commodity futures markets to price their crops, livestock and dreams might have thought the hearing would center on what its title suggested: "To Review Legislative Proposals Amending Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act." The hearing would do no such thing.

Scott Shalaway: October concerns include deer
October brings two wildlife concerns to mind -- feeding birds and avoiding deer on the highway.
Life Out Loud: Who cares what 'they' think?
People are insufferable. Oh, not taken singularly, of course. One-on-one people are lovely. It's when they go plural you have problems. If there are any two things that can ruin just about any good time it is "people" and "they."
Dairy farmers should analyze their operation closely to ensure profits
The Class III price moved from $21.67/cwt in August to $19.07/cwt in September, a drop of $2.60/cwt. Although a Class III price above $19/cwt would have been a high price just a few years ago, this is no longer the case with current feed prices.
The Dirt on Conservation: Improve some whitetail deer habitat
I often get questions from hunters and other wildlife enthusiasts about improving whitetail deer habitat on their property. In many instances, these conversations are immediately directed toward the planting of food plots. Landowners want to know the best food source they can plant to attract deer and other wildlife.

On the Outdoors: Enjoy bow season and follow the rules
Overall, archers accounted for 35 percent of 239,475 deer taken during Ohio's combined 2010-11 archery, muzzleloader and gun seasons. According to Division of Wildlife, Licking County led the state in archery harvest. Now add Coshocton, Tuscarawas, Ashtabula and Holmes to see the top counties.

Women's college soccer has witnessed the arrival of an outstanding crop of freshman strikers. One of the most imposing forwards is 5-foot-11 Courtney Goodson, whose two goals powered No. 4 Texas to a 2-1 overtime win over Arizona on Sunday.
Goodson headed home the game-winner off a corner kick in the 105th minute after scoring on a header offNiki Arlitt's cross early in the second half to erase the Wildcats' 1-0 advantage.
Goodson, a product of Southern California's Eagles program, has four goals in four games.
"Goodson is very good at scoring goals," said Longhorn coach Chris Petrucelli. "She got to it in the air, she has a good shot. I thought she did a really nice job possessing the ball as well. Two goals for any player is a great night, but two goals for a freshman is as good as it gets."

This week, SEL construction crews are erecting the concrete walls of the new Zocholl Building that is expected to be completed by May. There are 34 panels that weigh up to 230,000 pounds, and it takes a 250-ton crane to move them.
"It has already changed the skyline as you drive up Grand Avenue," said SEL Property Manager Jana Schultheis. "It's quite a sight to see, that crane lifting those big panels."
"We've added some extra capabilities in this building," said SEL Research and Development Vice President Dave Whitehead. "We're including a 75-foot long radio frequency test chamber. It's so big I can drive my truck into it."
The building will allow SEL to consolidate their research and development laboratories, and it will be used to build and test new products. The building is named after industry icon and SEL Distinguished Engineer Stanley Zocholl who passed away earlier this year. He held 26 US patents and 46 international patents. Schweitzer created their own construction division for this project, and it's their first project as a design-build company.

One of the most distinguished cardiologists in the Western Hemisphere has written this latest study on the role played by Mexico in medical progress. It is actually not a history but rather a condensed review of outstanding contributions, any pretension at originality being frankly disclaimed. While stressing the wealth of therapeutic material dropped by the Aztecs on the hands of the wondering Spaniards and the pioneer achievements of the former New Spain in the Americas, it is also recognized that scientific advance, as a result of various adverse conditions, has been necessarily slow. Even now quality must unavoidably suffer when 5,000 students are crowded in the largest medical school with accommodations and equipment barely adequate for less than half as many. The book is beautifully printed and illustrated and furnishes on the whole an excellent picture of Mexican medicine both in the past and the present. Some assertions may be

Pink Floyd album designer Storm Thorgerson dies
LONDON -- English graphic designer Storm Thorgerson, whose eye-popping album art for Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin encapsulated the spirit of 1970s psychedelia, died Thursday. He was 69.
In a statement, Thorgerson's family said that his death "was peaceful and he was surrounded by family and friends." The statement gave few further details but said that the artist, who suffered a stroke in 2003, had been ill for some time.
Even those who not familiar with Thorgerson's name will have seen his work gracing vinyl collections and CD racks. He was best known for his surreal Pink Floyd covers, which guitarist David Gilmour said had long been "an inseparable part of our work."
Some of Thorgerson's covers -- the disturbing image of burning man in a business suit featured on Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" or the stark prism on the band's "Dark Side of the Moon" -- have become icons in their own right.
Thorgerson also made covers for Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel, Phish, Styx, and Muse. His art tended toward the unsettling or the bizarre. One particularly weird CD front for The Cranberries' "Bury The Hatchet" featured a monstrous, disembodied eye staring at a crouching, naked figure in a desert. Another Pink Floyd album cover featured a cow staring out from a field.
Thorgerson described his work as a kind of fantasy job -- in both senses of the word.
"People pay me for my thoughts and my dreams," Thorgerson told the BBC in 2010. "I think in that sense I'm very fortunate."
